Through the eyes of a child
Historic Johnson Farm fires the imagination of visitors from 2 to 82

What fun, stepping back in time, catching glimpses of the way farmers lived and worked in days of yore, browsing the implements they used, and immersing oneself in local heritage.
When you go
Furthermore, it's never too early to discover the source of eggs or to drive a tractor. All of these wonders and more, 2-year-old John David ("JD") LaMond recently experienced at the Historic Johnson Farm.
After his nap, JD -- son of Doctors David and Natalie LaMond of Hendersonville -- spent the balance of his afternoon on the farm. Natalie appreciated a day off from her hectic schedule, admiring the proportions of a fine 19th-century home and enjoying the dappled shade provided by towering trees. JD's senses were piqued by more curious stimuli.
Docent Ingrid McNair greeted the LaMonds at the Interpretive Education Center. JD, toddling alongside his mother, followed their guide to the chicken coop out back.
"Where do eggs come from?" McNair asked JD. The toddler shrugged, probably thinking "a store" or "the refrigerator." McNair stepped into the coop and returned holding a silver-spangled Hamburg hen. JD examined the unfamiliar critter, then backed off as the hen inspected him. Next, McNair brought an egg from the coop, discussing the natural wonder to JD, as she placed in his wee hand the egg still warm from the nest.
McNair offered JD a cup of feed, just as he spotted a leghorn rooster. "See the comb?" McNair asked, then explained the "pecking order" of poultry. "Notice the hens," she said. "All of their combs are different sizes. The smaller the comb, the lower the bird in the pecking order." As if to illustrate the lesson, a larger-combed hen pecked a lowlier member of the flock. With that, JD emptied the entire contents of his feed cup at the feet of the rooster.
Besides leghorns and Ham-burgs, the Historic Johnson Farm keeps Araucanas (that lay pastel blue eggs) and barred rock chickens. Previously, rabbits and miniature ponies counted among the livestock. "Coyotes got them," McNair said. The farm's foundation is currently looking to add donkeys, "which could fend off predators," McNair added.
Following JD's juice break, McNair continued the tour. JD's eyes widened and a wee smile blossomed as he espied a life-size version of his toy tractor. "Twacktah!" the lad exclaimed, pointing at David Glenn pulling up alongside the barn on a New Holland TC30. "Wanna ride?" Glenn asked. Following JD's eager nod, the tyke was lifted swiftly into the driver's seat, first alongside his mom and then solo. "Go!" JD commanded as he steered the motionless conveyance. (Glenn had turned off the engine.)
This old house
In 1874, before the advent of the tractor, Oliver Moss of Spartanburg, S.C. -- with the intent to grow tobacco -- purchased from D.L. Boyd, 500 acres in a Henderson County region known as Rugby. Moss hired local builder and master-craftsman Riley Barnett to build an Italianate home of parged brick made of clay from the French Broad River basin.
All of the pinkish-red bricks were fashioned onsite from a mixture of clay, brick dust and lime, then fired at a low temperature, which accounts for their unique texture. The exquisitely proportioned edifice, begun in 1876, was completed in 1880. The home is believed to be Henderson County's first brick home.
Besides tobacco, Moss grew corn, oats, rye, wheat, sugar, Irish potatoes and yams. In the late 1880s, North Carolina's tobacco crops exceeded demand and the market price for the crop plummeted. After eight years of farming and suffering economic hardship, Moss threw in the towel and sold 310 acres of his Rugby property to Robert and Mary Leverett for $4,000. The purchase price included the brick home and outbuildings.
The Leveretts' daughter Sallie (1866 - 1925) with her husband Leander Brownlow Johnson took over the farm around 1912. Sallie, widowed when her husband died from complications of gangrene following an accident while cutting wood, was left to care for her young sons Vernon and Leander Jr. who remained bachelors because -- according to local lore -- Sallie required their help on the farm.
The site's executive director Lisa Whitfield reports that Leander worked a brief stint as a chemist in Virginia, where he met a prospective wife. When word reached Sallie, she traveled to Virginia and fleetly retrieved her son.
On the Johnson property, Leander and Vernon Johnson erected a two-story white clapboard building in 1920. The 11-bedroom, two-bath structure served as a summer boarding house for 35 years. At the peak of the 1920s tourism boom, boarders at the Johnson Farm could have a room for a week with three home-cooked squares a day, all for $5.
"Aunt Sallie" -- as locals and summer boarders knew her -- was renowned for her gracious hosting and cooking and she served many a grateful gourmand around a nine-foot-long table crafted by Vernon and Leander's grandfather. Fried chicken, country ham, baked chicken with biscuits and farm-fresh vegetables counted among the delicious fare.
According to Whitfield, dessert menus included three-layer coconut cake, pound cakes and pies. And there was always homemade butter. The long table remains in the old dining room, as do the appliances, furniture and cooking utensils in Sallie's cozy kitchen.
Vernon and Leander constructed a barn of oak in 1923. Painted white, the stalwart building sports a gambrel roof overlaid with aluminum.
In 1933, after becoming disgruntled at giving up his room to visitors, Vernon built a cottage for his own use. Other buildings of interest on the remaining 15 acres include the well, granary, chicken house, pig barn, blacksmith shop, corncrib and potting shed. A 200-year-old poplar stands behind Vernon's Cottage.
Preserving the past to enrich the future
In 1987, in their later years, the Johnson brothers willed their farmstead to the school children of the area. The brothers had already begun a museum of farming implements in their barn's loft, having wished to share the region's heritage through their bequest.
Today, the recently restored Historic Johnson Farm operates as a heritage learning center for school children and the community. Annually, nearly 3,000 people visit the site, touring the historic buildings, hiking the nature trails and observing the animals.
Through the Folk Arts Program, children make corn-shuck dolls, dip candles, participate in hayrides, and identify wildflowers along the trails. Annual events include a spring festival and a Christmas open house.
A public-private project, the site is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. The non-profit Education Foundation manages the site in cooperation with the Henderson County Board of Public Education, owner of the property. Nationwide, only three public school systems own an historic farm.
Touring the farmstead
Still too young to truly appreciate the philanthropy of the Johnson brothers, JD LaMond had, nevertheless, the time of his life.
Besides chickens and tractors, the Historic Johnson Farm offers something for those of all ages. For architects -- and even budding architects -- there is the magnificently crafted Johnson home. Docents say that people sometimes arrive on the property with measuring tapes and sketchbooks, hoping to replicate the structure's pleasing proportions for their dream homes.
Historians will appreciate the attention to detail in the use of furnishings and colors. The wide wooden-plank flooring, three-story quarter-turn staircase, seven fireplaces, the parlor's bay window with lace curtains, oil lamps, and period kitchenware add up to a step back in time to the turn of the 20th century.
Vernon's cottage embraces a woodworking shop on the basement level and the barn's loft houses farming implements and other turn-of-the-century artifacts of interest. On the barn's ground level, one may view animal stalls and storage rooms.
The Interpretive Education Center offers folk-arts programs for students and is available for public programs, educational exhibits, concerts, demonstrations, teacher workshops, fund-raising dinners, reunions, meetings and various community events. Moreover, a small gift shop purveys old-timey toys, candy and souvenirs.
If not for the Historic Johnson Farm in their vicinity, youngsters like JD LaMond might never know of a gentler time when folks raised and cultivated their own provisions and spent limited free time in a bay-windowed parlor playing cards and looking at stereopticon cards.
Or gathering around a long refectory table to enjoy folksy fare. Hendersonville's children and their parents have forward-looking Vernon and Leander Johnson to thank for this living-history center right in their backyard.
Expanding heritage programs
For the Historic Johnson Farm to operate, community support is crucial. The Farm is registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation with the IRS. To volunteer your time or to provide donations, call 697-4733 or 891-6585.

When their father passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can provide--driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often best, selves.

Once upon a time my dd was so good at eating her veggies. She ate steamed veggies almost everyday. I also try to include veggies in most of my dishes(soups, pastas, etc). She was such a healthy eater that she use to go #2 up to 5 times a day all the way up to age 2 when most toddlers her age only went 1 or 2 times a day. My other mommy friends were always so impressed with her.
Then she started preschool around her birthday and ever since she started slowly rejecting veggies and now says yuck & gags at the sight of them.
I NEVER ate veggies as a child because I didnt like it but now I do because I want to be healthy. My hubby and friends said they ate veggies as a child because their parents didn't cater to them & had to eat whatever was on the table. My parents never made me eat them & always catered to me if I didn't like their food. I do not want to be like my parents.
I know I can easily hide cauliflower in some foods which I sometimes do but I don't want to hide them. I want my DD to not dislike them & know that this is normal food we must eat. I sometimes force her to eat them(using "police" threats) or use bribery or spoon feed it myself which I know isnt right but i get so desperate! I am so tired of the eating battles & suden veggie rejection but I REFUSE TO GIVE UP! I am not going to be the parent that supplements veggies with vitamins. My question is how do you get your kids to eat veggies? What would you do?

This is very well animated and the story is funny. Maybe in the future you can make the animation smoother, but right now, you are doing very well!
Thanks for the review! I'm trying to improve the animation for the new episodes that are in the works.
the Animation is not bad but could be better. the voice acting are aright but also could be better with the quality and acting. I don't like the guy with the yellow shirt voice, his dry and pitch voice sound doesn't sound good to me IMO. nice use to place some copyright protected music, but you can avoid that by finding some copyright free music that might for this video. I see you and your crew made so many episodes that i might have time to watch and learn what's the story of this, what's going on in this serie, who why what ect... .
So yeah, its not bad, it just could look and sound better.
Thanks for the review! I'll definitely try to improve the animation and voice acting in the future - I made sure to use some Audio Portal music so it's copyright-free.
The audio and visuals were well done and the humor keeps the video interesting. The overall plot is still a blur to me (but then again I have not seen all the previous seasons and episodes, so yeah). The only issue as far as I can see is that the ending is a bit abrupt. Nothing wrong with a cliffhanger but the ending here didn't seem to be the right place for it. Nevertheless, the video was pretty good.
Thanks for the review! I'll try to make the overall plot easier to understand for people who haven't heard the series; I tried to do that with this episode, actually.
I really like the pacing of this animation. The music was a little loud at parts and distracted from the dialogue, though. I'd like to see more of the series! :D
Thanks for the review! I tried not to make the background music too loud, though I also wanted to set an atmosphere; I'll definitely take your advice for future episodes! The newest episode can be found here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/630887
I'm glad to see that you are still producing these episodes. They are great and you should keep up the good work!
This was a very good episode, and I thank you for PMing this episode to me. It was entertaining enough to make me want to see the next episode as soon as possible.
The animation was good, some parts of the animation didn't work out that well, but it doesn't really matter that much to me, because this cartoon was great in general. The animation can be improved just a little bit.
The art was very nice, and sorta' fits the style of the cartoon. The line work was a bit messy for some characters, but, my lines aren't that "smooth" either. It's still great and you should keep the art-style for this cartoon. As I said before, it really fits.
The voice acting is good. The expressions are good, but, the audio editing for the cartoon should be edited a little bit, because at the beginning, one person had a mic that was kinda' low quality. So maybe you could remove the static when you edit the audio. Otherwise, everything else was good.
It's pretty obvious that this had a lot of effort. It can be improved slightly, but I'm not bothered by it. I'm just pointing out the slight errors. Overall, it has a good amount of effort put into it, a nice animation, good art, and decent voice acting. Keep doing what your doing. Your going places!
Thanks for the review! The new episode is actually finished, here it is: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/630887 I appreciate the feedback, I'm going to try to fix the audio in future episodes. I think the episode after this one (link is above) has better line quality.

DaughterPeople fear me. Cringe at the thought of me getting them. If I still had emotions, I'd be proud of myself. Pleased to know my name brings fear to all. I am a man of no emotions.So why am I so sad whenever I have no job, no one to chase, no one to deliver?That answer is obvious to me.

In fact, my enemies would kill to learn the truth about it.That Cecilia is my daughter.Well, clone-daughter.

I think I will do that.Ahhh, that feels better, though I still feel angry. And sad. And hurt. The pain will never leave me.Ugh, SOMEones banging on the door telling me to shut up already.

Coping with missing public infrastructure: An analysis of Russian industrial enterprises
During the Soviet period industrial firms not only formed the backbone of the economy but also directly provided a wide range of benefits to their municipalities. Firms were in charge of supplying a great variety of social services, such as housing, medical care and day care. The need to divest at least some of these functions was generally accepted already in the early 1990s. Industrial firms' engagement in the provision of infrastructure services, such as heating, electricity and road upkeep has to date received much less attention. Using a unique dataset of 404 large and medium-sized industrial enterprises in 40 regions of Russia, this paper examines public infrastructure provision by Russian industrial enterprises. We find that, first, to a large degree engagement in infrastructure provision – as proxied by district heating production – is a Soviet legacy. Second, firms providing district heating to users outside their plant area are more likely to have close relations with the local public sector along many other dimensions.

Good evening and happy Hump Day all.
Or is that just what they want you to think?
Okay a lot of the lets-build-X-out-of-Legos projects are at best mildly interesting despite the fact that some guy (and it's always a guy) spent days of his precious pron watching/girl stalking/hobo trapping time putting it together. But in this case it was almost worth the enforced celibacy since Jack Streat managed to build a completely functional Lego version of a Lee-Enfield sniper rifle. The cartridges in the magazine is a nice authentic touch and it's fairly accurate (for a Lego gun). Too bad there aren't any female Lego gun groupies out there.

Okay I guess my unhipness is showing, but this seems like a stupid service for a couple of reasons not the least of which is that it advertises that your home is now empty. I suspect this mostly appeals to younger people who are immeshed in their friends' lives. When you're older, have families and a smaller but more intimate group of friends, maintaining constant contact doesn't seem so critical.
Christopher Hitchen's Guide To Drinking
Don't drink on an empty stomach: the main point of the refreshment is the enhancement of food. Don't drink if you have the blues: it's a junk cure. Drink when you are in a good mood. Cheap booze is a false economy. It's not true that you shouldn't drink alone: these can be the happiest glasses you ever drain. Hangovers are another bad sign, and you should not expect to be believed if you take refuge in saying you can't properly remember last night. (If you really don't remember, that's an even worse sign.)And there's more.

Where's Eric!
Keith Richards has revealed that Eric Clapton has a guest spot on the new Rolling Stones record due this fall. The blues-themed disc was recorded in London and helmed by producer Don Was. Keith told Matt Everitt of BBC 6 Music "Eric Clapton dropped by for a couple of numbers and it was like old times down in Richmond." Early in their careers, both the Stones and the Clapton-era Yardbirds performed at Richmond's Crawdaddy Club, run by Giorgio Gomelsky.
Andy Fairweather Low and his band, The Low Riders, are heading to the United States for three concerts on the east coast. They'll be at BB Kings in New York City on September 13th, at Daryl's House in Pawling, New York on the14th and Havana in New Hope, Pennsylvania on the 17th. Then, it's back to the UK and Europe for gigs through the end of the year.
On July 23, one of two Fender Stratocasters played by Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall for his 70th Birthday Shows in 2015 will be sold by Heritage Auctions on behalf of former Asleep At The Wheel guitarist Johnny Nicholas. The guitar was offered to the family by Eric to help raise money for medical bills when Johnny's wife was diagnosed with Leukemia. Sadly, Brenda Nicholas lost her battle with the disease in mid-June.

The Stranger hits a new low...
A man responsible for the deaths of 3000 people is compared to James Brown. I didn't realize that mass death could be the subject of typical 20 sometings ascerbic "wit". I guess I was wrong.
Go take a long walk off a short pier Christopher.
Ecce, as you can see, one of the men responsible for 9/11 is James Brown. You can go back to being a Mormon homo on Dan's posts now. Oh, he hasn't been posting. Never mind.
Well at least Funk music is real, unlike the paranoid ramblings of rather daft nutjobs.
Hehehe. I like this post.
Ecce- how does one reconcile being gay and socially conservative? I imagine I'd become bitter and repressed if I had to deal with that everyday.
Oh wait... nevermind
Mohammed Atta was in "Farenheit 9/11" with Ben Affleck who was in "200 Cigarettes" with Dave Chappelle who was in "Undercover Brother" with James Brown.
911 Conspiracy Whackos are pathetic attentions whores who should all go jump off a really tall building.
I think Justin posts in SLOG as "Awful Troll."
uhhh answer: because the 9/11 truth movement is completely stupid?
The best thing about the 9/11 truth movement people are that they frequently label themselves and their cars in large letters that are easily read from 20 paces away.
If only other obnoxious, paranoid morons were so clearly labeled, I submit that the world would be a better place.
Scientific American had the definitive article on the 9/11 "Truth" movement, in which they debunked each and every paranoid theory these nuts came up with. It's always entertaining to hear them try and reconcile the amazing intricacies of their conspiracies with the obvious incompetence of the war.
Now, if you want an entertaining and crazy conspiracy theory, how about this: W is actually an old school communist, easily recruited as it would jab his father in the eye. He's intentionally collapsing the economy, widening the gap between rich and poor, and dismantling the American military. By the end of his term, the American people will be primed for the revolution, and the proletariat will rise, all thanks to W.
Isn't that much more entertaining?
I am not a conservative. In fact, I am quite liberal. However, apparently you don't understand that liberal does not equal being a fringe freak.
Just cause I disprove of bath houses and glory holes doesn't mean I am a republican. You "Big City Queers" need to get a freaking clue. Not every queer is a meth snorting, whoreing, bathroom sex having, freak desperate to prove himself to the world that he so desperately hates. Self hatred runs runs deep in those that are so shallow.
Some of us are open, have families, work for a living, go to church, are members of the PTA, etc... Notice I didn't say glory hole loving, "any port in a storm" ethic, and so filled with self hatred that the only way to live is by being the biggest freak imaginable. Spare me boys, I've been around the block a few times.
Gitia, interesting, would that make Cheney a modern day Trotsky then.
Personally, I think the simplest explanation is that our president is, unfortunately, a moron.
You argue like a conservative. You fail to take any replies into further consideration of your initial argument. Everybody on SLOG, including you, knows that you're bringing up frivolous shit right now to prove your point.
Glory holes @ Pony's already explained. They are there for the environment, which is not supposed to make everybody rip off their clothes and fuck, and they are barely usable. Don't know where you're pulling bathhouses from, but I honestly don't care. At first you argue with Dan on these topics because it offends you that he would go to these places seeing how he has a kid. (That, and he's-according to you-a landmark for gay parents and should behave accordingly) Now you're flat-out protesting these as if they should have no right to exist. You also do not make any fucking sense.
Furthermore, I am not an idiot. Sure, I'm constantly being a goober on Slog. Whatever. It's Slog. Please stop explaining the various types of gay's and how they behave differently. You're not filling anyone in on anything there. You're kvetching diversity in the gay community while looking down on it.
That's called bigotry, baby. Your disdain for Savage is ridiculous, too. If you think you can provide a more ideal 'gay family' to the world, then do it. You write the books, you run your paper, and then you can deal with all of the fags who flock to your comment board and criticize you and the way you live your life.
I'd say more, but why bother? You keep mentioning 'self-hatred' like its your fucking topicality in debate. The only self-hating fag I'm seeing on these boards is you.
And you're boring.
That is all.
The alternative in "alternative newspaper" refers only to being an alternative to a Daily ie: Weekly.
Ecce, whether or not you're conservative, you have a shit sense of humor. The post is funny. Or maybe it's a generational thing, and you're too old to dig this kind of humor. No one here thinks badly of James Brown. It's just funny to do the whole "separated at birth" thing. and it's funny on a few other levels too, but having to explain humor to retards is getting old. I had to explain another jokey post in the slog a few weeks ago. Why bother?
M. Poe @14: hear, hear!
Rather than poking fun at those who, after all the lies about Iraq and everything else, choose to view with skepticism the conspiracy story trotted out by our federal government within hours of the 9/11 attack, would you care to discuss the facts?
Phil M- No, I'd rather make fun of 'em. Especially Michael Tsarion. Have you read the literature? Holy shit. Begs nothing but ridicule. He may as well be saying George Bush is an evil wizard.
@18, No. This is more fun.
Christopher wrote:
No, I'd rather make fun of 'em [than to discuss the facts]
That's a typical response from coincidence theorists.
Have you read [Michael Tsarion's] literature?
No, I've never heard of him. Please spare me the straw men. I suggest reading David Ray Griffen's 9/11 Commission Report: Ommissions and Distortions or Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory.
@13 Indeed Ockham's Razor does point to Bush just being fucking incompetent. It's fun to think about though, and if you tell Republicans that theory, their heads explode.
"coincidence theorist" is about as polite a word for a person as "evolutionist." I don't theorize coincidence or evolution. I look at the blatant truth and assume that sometimes, just maybe possibly, it's fucking true.
I just outta curiosity followed the link for the book you posted. Is it a coincidence your side is selling the truth for $20 a pop while the people debunking your side give it away for free?
It's a coincidence.
Mr. Poe,
What about defending Dan Savage gives you such a boner?
I am a Bigot? Spare me. Wake up sweetie, theres a big world out there beyond the walls of the Emerald City.
"theres a big world out there beyond the walls of the Emerald City."
Yah it mostly sucks.
Thanks for proving all of my points. (Which is pathetic...since I barely had any) You're good at what you do, Ecce, u good ate-it!
As for defending Savage, I really do not see how I was..especially when you consider my #2 comment. Defending the obvious, and harmless, decision to go out and have a drink? Even at a frisky joint? That's what I thought I was defending. Think what you want. Which you will--doesn't change the fact that you haven't said anything worth a damn.
I'm going out for a drink. It's Friday. That's what I do. Thank God I don't have a kid, yo?!

See all reviews for this product Bridgestone Battlecross X40 Rear Tire Pet250 - Denver, CO, USA Good all around tire "I have been riding on these tires ( X40) for 10 months now and can say wow. Being in Colorado we have a lot of hard pack riding and have to change tires very often to keep optimal traction that I unfortunately fall short of because of finance reasons. This tire has been the best wearing and best performing tire I have ridden on. I really liked the m404s from bridgestone in the past and have tried the new dunlop mx 52's and I do not like the wear on the dunlops. I have had to replace the Dunlops after 2 races. I have 5 races on the x40s plus countless practice and play riding on it and am impressed with the wear. It is getting to the point that I have to replace them. I really am impressed with the durability of the product. The traction that these provides is amazing. Every tire has a slightly different feel and my first ride I picked up on it right away. These track really well and when you think you will break loose it doesn't, there is still grip. I have ridden these in soft loam to hard pack tracks to riding in rough enduro type of riding. I found a a set of tires I trust and love the wear so far. It is nice to get 3-4 months out of a set of tires instead of 2-3 weeks."

Re: Ex Did a Terrible Thing... Is My Credit Ruined?[ Edited ]

Does anyone see any other option for me, besides bankruptcy?
Probably not, but let's look at this a bit more.
I would start by pulling your three credit reports and looking at the facts about the "responsibility" of each account. If any say AU, I would dispute as "not mine". If any say "joint" then look at the actual accounts and/or his account statements to see it they are actually joint. This is a good example of why joint accounts are probably a bad idea for anyone.
The information on "separated" or such is going to vary so much by state that you can probably only get good info from your Family Law Attorney. Did either of you file for divorce? The initial filing normally has language that makes what he did contempt of court.
The run up in debts may have big issues since it looks like it might be intentional. BK may toss out those debts. In any case, if you are actually joint and they don't get all of it from him, they will come after you for the rest. If he even file, they might just start with you for all of it. They won't think about it being half his debt and half your debt. They simply want to get paid. That probably means you would get force to file to protect any of his debt.
FYI: the mailing address being his, the charges be his, etc. will be completely irrelevant to the creditors. It could help if you have a provable contempt of court claim in the divorce but if you haven't filed for divorce before the charges then that argument is gone. If he truly can't earn money and has no assets then there isn't much point in getting a judgement against him anyway.
Depending on the laws in your state, his becoming disabled before the divorce is final may result in you paying him spousal support. I strongly suggest you talk with your Family Law Attorney ASAP. There is too much variability in the laws of different states to even guess at that.

text: Hello all, I'm new here. I've constructed a few teams on Showdown, and I found this one that I think is cool, however I know there is plenty of room for improvement. Since I made it, I've had a 60/40 wins versus loss ratio. That's not bad, but I would like to make it better. Now, for the record, I have been playing Pokemon for a long time, but I've never really been involved in competitive play until the last few months. And I'm also not quite sure if this is how it should be done or not, but I'm going to paste in my team data from Showdown, and then further break everything down. Thanks in advance for your help. === [ou] NEW SWEET MIX === Victini @ Life Orb Trait: Victory Star Shiny: Yes EVs: 222 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 30 HP Hasty Nature - V-create - Fusion Bolt - Energy Ball - Fusion Flare So V-create Victini was one that I always felt like I missed out on. And for great reason, that move is awesome in a pinch. I was able to sweep half a team with Victini, with a combination of Fusion Bolt and V-create. Victini is definitely a hard-hitter, with a nice amount of HP. Espeon (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Magic Bounce Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Spd / 222 HP / 30 SAtk Timid Nature -Shadow Ball - Psychic - Substitute - Wish Espeon is my required psychic user (all my teams have a psychic Pokemon, it's my favorite type) I use Espeon for some offense, but more importantly to try to magic bounce hazards back. Now the problem I've found with this strategy is that I usually lead with Tentacruel to set up Toxic Spikes, and most people who set hazards lead do so early, so Espeon may be replaceable. Thoughts? Tentacruel @ Leftovers Trait: Liquid Ooze EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP Timid Nature -Giga Drain - Ice Beam - Toxic Spikes - Rapid Spin Tentatcruel is my lead, I set up two to three layers of Toxic Spikes to help me out in the long run. It turns out Ice Beam is actually a really sweet move for him as well. The only problem I've encountered with him so far is that he's my rapid spinner, and if he dies too early, I'm stuck with hazards on the field. Dragonite @ Life Orb Trait: Multiscale Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SAtk Lonely Nature - Draco Meteor - Dragon Tail - Earthquake - Outrage Since EVERYONE else has a Dragonite on here, I felt the need to rock one. His outrage can really break through half a team in a few short turns. I was considering giving him the snap out of confusion berry to give me another free outrage, but then I would lose life orb's power...and I'm not so sure I'm okay with that. Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk Calm Nature - Thunderbolt - Hydro Pump - Volt Switch - Will-O-Wisp Rotom-W is awesome. I really enjoy his diverse move pool. He is bulky enough to stick around for a while. And my volt switching is definitely a key strategy for this team. Scizor @ Choice Scarf Trait: Technician Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Adamant Nature - Bullet Punch - Roost - Superpower - U-turn Finally, my scarfed Scizor with Technician is a powerhouse that can break through anyone that's left over. So that's my team in a nut shell. I'm not married to any one Pokemon or move set, so if you think someone, or some move would do better, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm here to learn and to get better. Thanks again guys. Have a great day.

John Strasberg's ORGANIC CREATIVE PROCESS FOR ACTORS AND DIRECTORS
when: Toronto 5-day Intensive July 11 to 15, 10:00 am to 5:00pm (every day except Sunday)
cost: $630 US
The Organic Creative Process begins with a good question and a good problem. Much like athletic performance, inspiration that leads to exceptional creative work cannot be guaranteed. However, developing a good habit leads both the artist and the athlete to an inspired state of high performance with more frequency and consistency. In this 5-day intensive led by master acting teacher and director John Strasberg, actors and directors will discover their own uniquely personal approach to bringing life to a text and a character through scene work and Organic Script Analysis, and acting teachers will learn how to make contact with their students in a way that will lead them to work more organically.
To register or for more information, please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
John began training actors in 1964 at the height of The Actors Studio and has since trained and directed thousands of actors internationally. Strasberg acted and stage managed for The Actors Studio and on Broadway in the 1960s, working closely with legendary directors including Elia Kazan. He taught acting at Columbia Pictures and was Executive Director of the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute before founding John Strasberg's Real Stage in New York in 1979. As Co-Artistic Director of the Mirror Repertory Company with Geraldine Page and Sabra Jones, he directed the majority of the productions including A Doll's House, Paradise Lost, Ghosts and Rain. In the 1980s he lived and worked mainly in Europe, directing television and several award-winning theatre productions in France and Spain. He returned to New York in 1996 where he published his book on acting, Accidentally On Purpose: A Memoir on Life, Acting, and the Nine Natural Laws of the Creativity and was the subject of a feature documentary of the same name. He created John Strasberg Studios: an International Center for Creative Development and Theatre Research, as well as The Accidental Repertory Theater in New York. In 2011 John produced, wrote and directed several plays through A.R.T. including a modern-day re-envisioning of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard called Adam's Apples, an upcoming published play which is also the basis of his debut feature film currently in post-production.

Colleges need to do a better job of promoting tolerance of diverse ideas, said Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, in a Harvard University commencement address Thursday, The Boston Globe reported. Bloomberg cited incidents in which students have questioned selections of commencement speakers or shouted down speakers on campus, and noted that this problem goes beyond campus as well. "Tolerance for other people's ideas and the freedom to express your own are ... perpetually vulnerable to the tyrannical tendencies of monarchs, mobs, and majorities, and lately we've seen those tendencies manifest themselves too often, both on college campuses and in our society," he said. Bloomberg added that "a liberal arts education must not be the art of liberalism."
Some Harvard students this spring questioned whether Bloomberg should be invited to speak. They cited the "stop and frisk" police tactic used in New York City while he was mayor. But many other students -- including some who questioned the tactic -- defended his right to speak.
Faculty members at the University of Southern California have elected Ginger Clark, associate professor of clinical education in the university's Rossier School of Education, as president-elect of the Academic Senate. That means she will automatically become president, which is significant because Clark is off the tenure track. Many university governance bodies don't even let non-tenure-track professors have full voting rights, and it is rare for a non-tenure-track professor to lead a senate.
In today's Academic Minute, Peter McGraw of the University of Colorado at Boulder, draws on his work with Caleb Warren and The Humor Research Lab (HuRL) to answer the question: "What makes things humorous?" Learn more about the Academic Minute here.
We write as faculty members teaching in gender/sexuality studies, critical race studies, film and visual studies, literary studies, and cognate fields. We empathize with the difficulties our students bring into the classroom, from their pasts and/or from their ongoing battles with violence, sexual assault, racism, and other traumatizing events, both everyday and extraordinary. As faculty of color, female, and/or queer faculty, many of us have had some of the same experiences.
However, we are concerned about the movement on college campuses to mandate or encourage "trigger warnings" – notifications that class material may cause severe negative reactions – on class syllabuses. We are currently watching our colleagues receive phone calls from deans and other administrators investigating student complaints that they have included "triggering" material in their courses, with or without warnings. We feel that this movement is already having a chilling effect on our teaching and pedagogy. Here, we outline why a movement with the very salutary intent of minimizing student pain may be, in fact, ineffectual as well as harmful to both students and faculty. We offer this outline in the spirit of collective engagement amongst faculty, students, and administrators because we want to support both faculty in their choice to teach difficult material and students in their need for an ethic of care at the university.
1. Faculty cannot predict in advance what will be triggering for students.The idea that trauma is reignited by representations of the particular traumatizing experience is not supported by the research on post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma. Flashbacks, panic attacks, and other manifestations of past trauma can be triggered by innocuous things: a smell, a sudden movement, a color. There is simply no way for faculty to solve for this with warnings or modified course materials.
2. There is no mechanism, in the discourse of "triggering," for distinguishing material that is oppositional or critical in its representation of traumatizing experience from that which is sensationalistic or gratuitous.
3. Most faculty are not trained to handle traumatic reactions. Although many of us include analyses of the cultural logics and legacies of trauma and/or perpetration in our courses, this expertise does not qualify faculty to offer the professional responses traumatized students may need. Institutions seriously committed to caring for traumatized students ought to be directing students, from their first days on campus, to a rich array of mental health resources. Trigger warnings are not an adequate substitute for these resources or for the information students need to get help.
4. PTSD is a disability; as with all disabilities, students and faculty deserve to have effective resources provided by independent campus offices that handle documentation, certification, and accommodation plans rather than by faculty proceeding on an ad hoc basis.
5. Trigger warnings may encourage students to file claims against faculty rather than seek support and resources for debilitating reactions to stressors. In fact, the complaint is implied in the structure of a warning; the warning serves as a guarantee that students will not experience unexpected discomfort and implies that if they do, a contract has been broken.
6. Even the best-intended, ad hoc declarations on syllabuses by individual faculty may lead students to expect or demand similar "disclosures" from other faculty who may feel that other ways of addressing students' emotional reactions to material are more effective.
7. Faculty of color, queer faculty, and faculty teaching in gender/sexuality studies, critical race theory, and the visual/performing arts will likely be disproportionate targets of student complaints about triggering, as the material these faculty members teach is by its nature unsettling and often feels immediate.
8. Untenured and non-tenure-track faculty will feel the least freedom to include complex, potentially disturbing materials on their syllabuses even when these materials may well serve good pedagogical aims, and will be most vulnerable to institutional censure for doing so.
9. Trigger warnings may provide a dangerous illusion that a campus has solved or is systematically addressing its problems with sexual assault, racial aggression, and other forms of campus violence, when, in fact, the opposite may be true.
10. Trigger warnings may strike some as a cost-effective solution to rising concerns about student mental health, campus cultures that condone sexual assault, and similar big-ticket issues. However, there are hidden costs to a trigger warning policy, for example, the expense, labor, and loss of trust and morale that result from the increased number of Title IX complaints against professionally vulnerable faculty members.
What do we propose as an alternative to trigger warnings? We feel faculty and students are best-served by the following:
1. From faculty -- syllabuses and/or pages on course websites that include referral to on-campus resources available to students experiencing difficulties with course materials in ways that need to be addressed with specific expertise – counseling resources, support groups, advising, relevant student organizations, etc. If such resources do not exist or are insufficiently funded, we believe our efforts should be directed toward establishing and increasing support for them. Mandating trigger warnings should not be a substitute for this important work.
2. From administrators -- systematic, robust, and proactive institutional attention to such matters as sexual assault, racially motivated attacks, harassment, and other practices of violence on campus.
3. From faculty and administrators -- faculty development opportunities that will enhance our ability to recognize and respond appropriately to students' strong emotional reactions to materials that ask them to witness or analyze violence, question their own privilege, understand their own place in structures of injustice, and undertake other psychologically difficult tasks.
4. From students -- awareness that the faculty who teach the very materials that help them understand and combat racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, etc., as well as trauma, violence, and practices of injustice, are often the most vulnerable members of their professional context. Administrations may use student complaints to marginalize particular faculty and particular topics, and/or use a trigger mandate/recommendation to delimit what can be taught in the first place.
Some students may read trigger warnings as evidence that faculty and the university care for them and recognize their histories of trauma. We believe the university has a responsibility to provide that care in the form of appropriate resources and support beyond any statement on a course syllabus. As well-intended as trigger warnings may seem, they make promises about the management of trauma's afterlife that a syllabus, or even a particular faculty member, should not be expected to keep.

Massachusetts community college adjuncts overwhelmingly approved a three-year contract guaranteeing a 3.5 percent pay bump and increased job security, the Massachusetts Teachers Association announced Tuesday. The agreement covers some 5,000 adjuncts at the state's 15 community colleges, who are affiliated with the National Education Association. Under the contract, which promises a 3.5 percent pay raise for two years and 4 percent raise in the third year and establishes a systemwide salary scale, adjuncts will receive extra pay for attending campus meetings and lab instruction.
Veteran instructors also will have greater access to additional course assignments. Grievance policies for adjuncts have been enhanced, as have performance reviews procedure. The Massachusetts Community College Council did not immediately respond to request for comment.

We currently use Dell Latitude 2120 as our In-field Netbooks.
One has been returned to us in a real mess and I thought the easiest option would be to "Restore to Factory Settings". Apparently that's easier said than done according to Dell.
When speaking to Dell they said my only option is to do a fresh install of Windows 7 and download all the drivers.
When giving this a go I noticed that there is a recovery partition on them.
Anyone have any idea's how to access and if possible use the recovery partition to "Restore to Factory Settings".
P.S. I've tried the original Ctrl + F11.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
