Republicans have been attacking Social Security and Medicare for decades.
They want it back to when:
Just about every coal patch had a Company Store, so-called because the coal company owned it. See below to learn how the coal companies took the miners pay right back from them by forcing them to shop at the Company Store. This photograph was made in about 1900 by the Webmasters grandfather, George A. Baughman. If you remember the Company Store from a later era (it was open through the 1950s) you remember it looking much different than it does here. At the time of this photo the front of the store faced northward toward what is now the doctors office; the railroad tracks (now Rt. 51) would have been to the left in this photo and the original Rt. 51 and the churches to the right. When the store was enlarged the original facade was walled over and a new facade was built facing westward toward Church St. Below is an enlargement of the men and boy. Please e-mail the Webmaster if you can identify any of these people. Above: Two examples of miners scrip from the late 1800s. The coal barons were in the business of making themselves rich, not the people who labored for them. One of the means they employed to achieve this end was to pay the miners (outright slavery having been abolished) and then take the money they paid the miners right back from them. I say money because sometimes the miners were not paid in money at all, but in scrip, which could be spent only at the Company Store. It could not be exchanged for real currency; note that both pieces of scrip above state that the scrip is payable in merchandise. Right: This pay envelope belonged to the Webmaster's maternal great grandfather, Adam Baughman, who was a coal miner for the Washington Coal and Coke Company in Star Junction. The envelope reveals a great deal about the financial situation of a typical coal miner in the late 1890s. Adam loaded 79 five-ton wagons in the two-week period from March 1 - 15, 1895. If we assume that he worked six days a week, he shoveled 32.9 tons--about 66,000 pounds--of coal each day (39.5 tons per day if he worked a five-day week). He was paid 40 cents for each five-ton wagon that he filled, which gave him a gross pay of $31.60. The deductions tell the story of a coal miner's life. He had to shop at the Company Store, where his bill for these two weeks was $17.00. The company owned his house, of course, and his rent came to $3.00. The company owned the tools that he used--a pick and shovel--but he had to pay the company $0.25 for sharpening. These deductions would have left him with a take-home pay of $11.35. But the company also owned his doctor. After deducting the $9.10 that Adam owed Dr. Cook, the company doctor, his take-home pay for two weeks, during which he shoveled 395 tons of coal, was $2.25--less than a penny per ton. The company owned the store Adam shopped in, the house (and indeed, the whole town) that he lived in, his tools, and his doctor. For all practical purposes, the company owned Adam Baughman. Adam died as a result of a coal-mining accidentmore here. http://www.perryopolis.com/sjcompanystore.sht... Now lets remember these coal miners lived in company housing and the law where they lived was purchased and enforced by the employer. No child labor laws, children getting black lung and a host of other slave elements. Capitalism at its finest my friends. Better get off the tea! |

I think you're right. They're voting to make themselves homeless. They're voting to make this a 2-class country -- the rich and the poor, with no middle class. It's a recipe for disaster.
I hope Oregon will organize against this. Check out Parties like the Green, Independent, etc. and get active people. |

So far in my career, I've made other people money with my work. I want to change that, and I think software is fertile ground for an entrepreneur. We can create machines that do stuff all by themselves, generating value and thus money while we sleep. I will learn and simultaneously teach others how to build a sustainable software business. My main focus is how to make money with MySQL, but I will include other technologies. This endeavor will go beyond technical knowledge, incorporating marketing, sales, and customer service to figure out what your customers (or your boss) wants, and how to get them to pay you well for your efforts. I've created some basic resources to help you. Read what I've written on MySQL or take a look at my upcoming book, MySQL Simplified.
I love it when software gives you elegant ways of solving your problem. Programming language designers make me feel like they care when they take the time to include succinct, powerful expressions. I've recently discovered some in new things in MySQL, as well as a few rediscoveries. This is the first five, and I'll cover the next five in another article. Read more
I want to teach you the difference between an inner and an outer join. We first need to think about what a join is. Simply, it's when you combine two tables to make a new one. You're not physically creating a new table when you join them together, but for the purposes of the query, you are creating a new virtual table. Every row now has the columns from both tables. So if TableA has columns Col1 and Col2 and TableB has columns Col3 and Col4, when you join these two tables, you'll get Col1, Col2, Col3, and Col4. Just as with any query, you have the option of including all columns or excluding some, as well as filtering out rows. Read more
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard about driverless cars. Google and the large car makers have been creating cars that doen't need a human driver. This is tremendous news. Over 30,000 people die in car crashes every year in the US. While not all of those could be prevented by removing the meatbag driver, a lot of them could. Driverless cars are the right way forward and I can't wait until they come. Every time I see a car wreck or hear about a drunk driver, I wish we had this tech right now. Read more
I am a budding software entrepreur located in beautiful Boise, Idaho. I like creating software, because our work frees people from meaningless, repetitious tasks, often giving them a lever to move the world. I've worked on everything from a small ERP system, to trucking software, and now I'm on a team with a great group of people writing software for the marketing space. My favorite technologies include MySQL, C#, SQL Server, and Linux (if only Microsoft released a *nix SQL Server).
My non-work hours are filled with family and travelling, hopefully both! (<-- That's my beautiful wife and me in Switzerland). I won't say no to either a Homeric epic or a snifter of cognac.

Major new project increases safety and reduces risk of flow line installation.
Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies (KOGT), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, has signed an agreement to supply a flexible risers and umbilicals installation system for the 'Capstan Reel Installation System' (CRIS), to the Offshore Installation Group (OIG). The patented CRIS design simplifies the subsea installation process, enabling a reduction in installation time and risk, which translates to significant cost savings. The CRIS is a sophisticated new product that will address the risk, safety and cost factors of offshore installations as production moves to deeper waters, further offshore. KOGT will develop, build, deliver to OIG and install the system as a complete 'package' on a dedicated installation vessel, which will be built and supplied by OIG.
With the CRIS, the installation tower and relevant tensioner clamps on a vessel are replaced by a reel that uses the capstan principle to ensure controlled installation. This significantly reduces the risk of damaging the riser, ensuring simpler, faster and safer product installation, without the need to work at great height. It also allows for simpler vessel architecture and the possibility to design multi-purpose installation vessels. Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies is an international technology enterprise that delivers innovative and reliable technical solutions to the oil and gas industry. Headquartered in Sandvika, the company has production, sales and support facilities located in six different countries.
Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies delivers innovative and technological subsea products and systems through EPC projects. The company also has a series of IT solutions for drilling operations, production, reservoirs and subsea risers and flowlines. Its solutions optimise oil and gas operations through computer control, simulation, integration and analytical tools, as well as through engineering projects and consultancy services, all of which improve operational and financial value. KOGT's parent company, KONGSBERG (OSE ticker: KOG), is an international, knowledge-based group that delivers high-technology systems and solutions to customers in the oil and gas industry, the merchant marine, and the defence and aerospace industries. In 2010, the Group had operating revenues of NOK 15.5 billion, and it currently has some 6300 co-workers in more than 25 countries.

Haka performed by non-New Zealand sports teams
The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2010) |
Although the haka is a traditional dance form of the Māori of New Zealand, the use of a haka by the All Blacks rugby team before matches has made it familiar worldwide, and various haka have been adopted by sports teams outside New Zealand, especially American football teams in the United States. Sometimes these teams have Maori players, but frequently the Haka has been performed by teams with players from other Polynesian groups, indicating that the Haka has become part of a pan-Polynesian sports culture. For example, the Ha'a has lyrics and the movements are entirely Hawaiian but inspired by the Haka, it wa created this specifically for the University of Hawaii and has been adopted by other sports teams from the islands.
Brigham Young University[edit]
The "Ka Mate" Haka has become well known in the Mountain West Conference, and among the fans and opponents of the Brigham Young University football team. Prior to the BYU Cougars taking on Boston College, their season-opener in 2005, the Cougars instituted a new tradition when they performed the "Ka Mate" Haka. Minutes before kickoff, members of the BYU football team lined up on the southeast corner of the field and performed "Ka Mate" for a stadium full of cheering fans. Planned and prepared under a tight veil of secrecy for months, this new tradition was inspired by Bryce Mahuika, the team's only player of Māori descent.[1] Mahuika had recently lost his father, Michael K. Mahuika (the son of Nepia Mahuika, chief of the Māori Ngati Porou iwi (tribe)). As a boy, Michael K. Mahuika, his father's oldest son and next in line to become the chief of his iwi, was taught everything about his tribe's culture. When he attended the Church College of Hawaii, now Brigham Young University Hawaii, he was employed at the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC), where he performed haka and other dances of his people at the Maori Village for tourists. He passed these cultural dances on to his children, teaching them how important they were to his people and his forefathers. On March 27, 2005, Michael K. Mahuika died in Vancouver, Washington due to Hodgkin's disease. Over a thousand mourners attended his funeral, including Curtis Brown, the Cougars' star running back, to honor the fallen chief. Kyle and Bryce Mahuika, his sons, led them in a haka at the gravesite prior to lowering Michael K. Mahuika's casket into the ground. After returning from his father's funeral, Bryce Mahuika attended a team meeting where Bronco Mendenhall, the head coach, asked the team for personal requests that might help the team reach their goals in 2006. Bryce Mahuika went up to the front to thank everybody for their support, when he had the idea to do the Haka to fire up the crowd and prepare for football games. He explained the origins and significance of the Haka to the team, and they enthusiastically supported the idea. On September 3, 2005, the BYU Football team instituted the new tradition, and a little over a year later, on November 18, 2006, the Cougars became undefeated (in conference play) Mountain West Conference champions. The BYU Cougars went on to win the rest of their games that season, including crushing the Oregon Ducks 38-8 in the Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl.
There have been two occasions where the BYU Haka caused a near-altercation with the opposition. Both incidents flared because of perceptions that the haka was directed at the opposing team, rather than serving a more benign role of exciting the team and fans. The first instance was before BYU's game against rival University of Utah in 2005, when the team did the dance while facing the opposing team instead of in front of a student body. The second incident occurred during a shared pep-rally at the Fremont Street Experience before the 2006 Las Vegas Bowl against the University of Oregon. According to media reports, several BYU players performed the dance, provoking one of Oregon's Polynesian players to jump a crowd barrier.[1] The player later explained his motivation, "They looked right at us. It would have been different if it had been on stage intended for everybody. Instead, it felt like it was intended for us."[2] Although the confrontation was heated, it didn't turn violent, and BYU quarterback John Beck later apologized for any perceived disrespect.
In an interesting departure from their normal pre-game "Ka Mate" performance, on Saturday, 25 November 2006, the Cougars performed "Ka Mate" both prior to their historic rivalry football game with Utah, and upon winning a come-from-behind, extremely hard-fought game, breaking Utah's four-year winning streak in the series, BYU's football team performed an additional impromptu rendition of "Ka Mate" to the delight of their fans in attendance.
Before the Nov 22, 2008 "Holy War" at Utah's Rice Eccles Stadium, Utah coaches and players assumed that BYU's performance of the Haka was a sign of disrespect, and crossed the field and disrupted the cultural dance. Game officials broke up the altercation and made players from each team return to their bench.
BYU's use of the Haka may have influenced local high school and community football teams. Timpview High School in Provo has performed the haka before games, and even some children's flag football teams have been seen performing it in Provo.
Kahuku "Red Raiders"[edit]
Kahuku High School "Red Raiders" football team [3][4] may have been the first American sports team to regularly perform a haka. The town of Kahuku is located just north of La'i.e., Hawaii, the home of Brigham Young University-Hawaii, which has many international students, including Polynesians from throughout the South Pacific, and both the student body and local community includes many Fijians, Hawaiians, Maoris, Samoans, Tahitians, and Tongans, among other ethnic groups. Today, a new haka is now performed, for and only Kahuku. It is called, "Kaipahua Kura", meaning 'Red Raider' in the Maori language. Written and choreographed by Seamus Fitzgerald, a Special Instructor at the Brigham Young University-Hawaii Campus and a Manager/Cultural Specialist in the Aotearoa or New Zealand section of the Polynesian Cultural Center in La'i.e., Hawaii.
University of Hawaii[edit]
During a hugely successful 2006 football season, it became tradition for the University of Hawaii Warriors football team to perform the Haka. It was introduced to the team by Tala Esera, who had performed the haka as a member of the Kahuku "Red Raiders", high school football team.
Typically, the Warriors performed their version of the "Kapa O Pango" haka 20 minutes before the opening kickoff. After home wins, the team also performed a post-game version. However, before its final regular season game against Oregon State, the team was alerted by a university professor that the team may be infringing upon a copyright by performing the dance. The team ended up doing a 'variation' of the Haka before the Oregon State game, and planned on unveiling a 'new haka' before the team's Hawaii Bowl appearance against Arizona State on December 24. The All-Blacks rugby team does their Haka with permission from the Ngati Porou iwi.
Through a spokeswoman, Hawaii's athletic director said: "Our legal department is looking into the issue. We don't believe we're violating any copyright laws at this time." Players on the team add that their version of the dance is not 'step for step' with the All-Blacks Haka.[5]
While the team has adopted the "Kapa O Pango" as its game day ritual haka, the words speak of a black jersey, which is the official home color of the UH Warriors. However, the black jersey refers specifically to the All Blacks jersey, for whom the haka was written. The original version of the haka also mentions "Aotearoa", which is Māori for New Zealand, and "Ponga-Ra" meaning silver fern, both not applicable to the University of Hawaii football team. However, these words are dropped when the Warriors perform their version.[citation needed]
2006 Heisman Trophy Candidate Quarterback Colt Brennan was also filmed saying that he was learning the Samoan words to the haka when the haka is clearly Māori. (It should noted that Brennan may have meant learning Samoan would assist him in learning to pronounce the Māori words, not that this haka was in Samoan. Also the Warriors do not say "Aotearoa" or New Zealand when they perform their version)[citation needed].
On December 24, 2006 the Warriors performed a haka prior to the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl game. in contrary to what was stated prior to the game,the Warriors, did not perform an entirely new haka but used the same gestures as "Kapa O Pango" as they have done all season. However, the chant itself could not be identified and it could not be confirmed if it remains the same or if certain words were changed to accommodate the team and the university specifically as the haka was not televised[citation needed]. YouTube hosts several clips of the Warriors' haka prior to the 2006 Hawaii Bowl game, but none have audio of sufficient quality to allow their chant at that time to be deciphered.
In 2007, linebacker Timo Paepule has now taken the leadership duties of the haka. The Warriors performed their usual version of "Kapa O Pango" for over 4,000 fans in attendance at their annual "Football Ohana Festival" which included a 90-minute practice session.
Paepule was quoted in saying that they plan to adjust the haka before the start of the 2007 fall season. Paepule also noted that the team actually prefers to perform the haka just for themselves and not as an attraction for the team[citation needed].
In August 2007 the team announced [6] that they would be dropping the Maori haka, in favour of a new Hawaiian war chant, which was ultimately named the haʻa. Linebacker Brad Kalilimoku, defensive back Guyton Galdeira and defensive tackle Keala Watson worked together to write the words and create the movements for the ritual. The three players are native Hawaiians and have experience with the language. Galdeira's training in hula also added cultural flavor to the haʻa. Although many fans have asked for the lyrics so that they could join in, the lyrics are kept within the team as a means of keeping the team unified.[2]
Trinity High School, Euless, Texas[edit]
Trinity High School of Euless, Texas first performed the "Ka Mate" haka for fans at the beginning of the 2005 season, copying from the New Zealand's All Blacks rugby team. Several famous All Blacks such as Jonah Lomu, Doug Howlett, and Pita Alatini have been of Tongan birth or descent, and Tongan players have helped transform Trinity High School into a Texas football powerhouse. The Euless area is home to an estimated 4,000 people of Tongan descent.
"We do the haka to ignite the breath of competition. It means that I've got your back and you've got mine," said Mr. Kautai, a player who stands 6-foot (1.8 m) and weighs 280 pounds (127 kg). [7]
On 10 June 2008, former First Lady Laura Bush was greeted with a haka by the New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team in Bamyan Province, Afghanistan. She explained later in an interview that she was able to keep her cool because she is a fan of Texas football..."I actually know about the haka because there's one football team in Texas that won state last year that happens to have a lot of Tongans ... in Dallas-Fort Worth," she said. "And they do the haka. If I didn't already know about it and hadn't already seen this football team on television do this, I might have been really surprised by it." [8]
Jefferson High School, Portland, Oregon[edit]
Jefferson High School (Portland, Oregon) has performed the "Ka Mate" haka beginning in the 2007 season. As with some other schools, the haka was introduced by Tongan students, of which there are fewer than 20 at Jefferson.[9] The school is predominantly African-American. "We are defending our land," said Tongan player Leni Feaomoeata, 15. "Jefferson has the reputation for losing, being dismissed. We wanted to defend our school, to show we have heart."
The team and school have embraced the haka despite opposition from other Oregon schools and sports administrators, who consider the haka intimidating [10]. This has led to an ongoing controversy, and has resulted in imposed penalties on the school's team. Other coaches complained to Jefferson's athletic director, labelling the haka "scary" and the moves "gang signs..[the opposition]... left the team's staff exasperated and disappointed...The Oregon School Activities Association ultimately decided the ritual amounted to taunting and said the players must do the dance with their backs to the opposing team or face a 15-yard penalty at the start of each game." [11]. Opposition has not deterred the team, despite the penalties, and Jefferson has persevered with their new tradition. News of the controversy has spread even to New Zealand. [12]
St. Edward High School, Lakewood, Ohio[edit]
St. Edward High School (Lakewood, Ohio) has performed a "war chant" before every match since the team started in 1999. The chat is called the Aquila.
Munster Rugby[edit]
During a celebration match against the All Blacks on 18 November 2008 to commemorate the opening of their new stadium at Thomond Park, the Haka was performed by four members of Irish provincial rugby team Munster. Former New Zealand Maori captain Rua Tipoki, former All Black Doug Howlett, former New Zealand sevens player Lifeimi Mafi and former Marlborough player Jerry Manning fronted the All Blacks, who replied with their own haka. [13]
Bethesda RFC[edit]
In Bethesda, Wales, on the 20th of December 2008, in an unlikely WRU Challenge Cup contest between Welsh Premiership side Cardiff RFC and Bethesda RFC of Division Six North, (whose entire squad was drawn from Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen the local Welsh medium comprehensive school,) Bethesda's resident Maori, and club Life Member, Bill Huaki performed a Welsh language version of the Haka. A motivated Bethesda went on to score three tries against Cardiff's nine, the game ending in a respectable 17-55 scoreline, with the slate quarrying village's amateurs earning much praise for their performance against the Welsh capital's professional team, which included internationals Craig Morgan and Lee Jarvis.

However, the real draw here (and the main reason this is a 4 and not a 3) is that it's the easiest place to find the Chronic Town EP, presented here as bonus tracks. Though still in the same oblique but jangly indie-rock vein as the full length debut Murmur, surprisingly the performances are more confident. All 5 of these tracks, especially the eerie "Wolves, Lower" and beautiful "Gardening At Night", are too good to be this obscure.
THE VOICE OF HAROLD is a beautiful tune, sort of like the lighter counter-part to MAPS AND LEGENDS. As for the Aerosmith cover, TOYS IN THE ATTIC - well, the one song I usually skip over. I'm sure one day it'll accidentally sneak by my sensors. KING OF THE ROAD? If you have ever square-danced to the original, then this version should make you smile. It's hard to put into words the charm I find in this album? I own all of REM's albums, and this one finds its way into the player the most... well, behind "Reckoning". You can wash a hundred dishes with DLO on repeat, go for long bike rides in the park with a sweetheart, background music for necking with another sweetheart later that day, stir up Kool-aid with your left hand, stumble through the yard laughing with it playing from your car stereo, watch old robot monster movies with the sound turned down low, catch shoplifters at your day job, take polaroids of grandma trying to climb the porch steps, count the dead flies on your window sill and even try to guess what the weather is like in Kansas as you spin through 1,000,000. The addition of the "Chronic Town" EP is a wonderful ending to this delightful collection of soggy gems. Come on aboard, I promise you we won't hurt the horse... yes siree bob!
& I recommend getting the limited edition VINTAGE IRS YEARS copy of this album, for the few extra tracks (gardening at night - acoustic & all the right friends)... more bang for your Buck!
Very aptly titled, 'DEAD LETTER OFFICE' contains mainly the 'reject' songs, which couldn't make it to R.E.M.'s regular albums. From the pre-'DOCUMENT' days, the songs in this album indeed reflect that side of R.E.M.'s, which one should very well stay away from.
There is really nothing much worth writing about the songs in 'DEAD LETTER OFFICE'. The songs truly represent the breed of typical B-side songs. Mainly due to its length, the album, with just a handful of listenable songs, becomes a bit of a burden on the listener. Though R.E.M's regular songs, classics they are, are often great songs to 'cover', R.E.M's cover-versions of other artists' songs on this album are disappointing. There are, however, songs like 'Crazy', 'Burning Down', and 'Burning Hell', which are as good as any other songs on regular R.E.M. albums.
But, not all is bad about this album. As a matter of fact, the last five songs of the album come as a relief, and save the day. Songs from their very first release: an EP called 'CHRONIC TOWN', make up the last five songs of 'DEAD LETTER OFFICE'. Each one of those five songs of 'CHRONIC TOWN', is a gem, and is indicative of a truly talented and promising band.
Definitely for the songs on 'CHRONIC TOWN', this album proves well worth the moolah. Barring the 'CHRONIC TOWN' part of it, 'DEAD LETTER OFFICE' is strictly for avid R.E.M. fans, to complete their collection of R.E.M. albums.
Chronic Town (1982, tracks 16 thru 20) - 3 stars
So I guess you would say that my review averages out to be 2.5 stars. Read more

MORROW, Ga. —
When Georgia officials announced plans to severely restrict public access to its state archives, it set off a firestorm not only among scholars and people tracing their family roots, but national historical groups.
Archives supporters expressed outrage at plans to limit access to appointments-only on six days a month to view some of the state's most valuable papers, from the fading parchment of the 1798 Georgia state constitution to Jimmy Carter's 1976 statement of candidacy. They collected more than 17,000 signatures on an online petition, rallied at the State Capitol and hired a lobbyist.
On Thursday, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and Secretary of State Brian Kemp backed off of the plan — sort of. Deal announced that he was restoring $125,000 of a $733,000 budget cut so that the archives could remain open two days a week and visitors could view records without making an appointment.
"Georgia's Archives are a showcase of our state's rich history and a source of great pride," Deal said in a statement, which did not address the fate of seven workers who recently received pink slips effective Nov. 1. Three other employees — the new archives director, an archivist and a building manager — will definitely stay.
The controversy focused national attention on shrinking funding for state archives at a time when they're processing, preserving and digitizing far more records than just a few years ago.
Georgia's cost-cutting move was "a continuation of a trend we see at the federal level," said Lee White of the National Coalition for History in Washington. "It's not something we want to see spread to the states."
While most states have had to slash their budgets in recent years, making layoffs almost routine, the proposal to slash the Georgia Archives' budget struck a nerve in the Peach State, which celebrates a rich history from the Civil War to the civil rights movement.
Deal, a Republican, had ordered agencies to their cut spending during the current budget year by 3 percent. Kemp imposed the entire cut for his department on the state archives. His spokesman acknowledged that it was a "brutal cut" but necessary given past funding reductions for the secretary of state's office, which is also responsible for elections, professional licensing, business regulation and the State Capitol.
The agency is already struggling to keep pace with more stringent ID requirements for professional licenses, part of a new law aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration in Georgia.
But archives supporters pushed back.
"We've complained for years" about budget cuts that whittled down the archives staff from more than 50 to 10 and reduced public access from five days a week," said Kaye Manning Minchew of the Coalition to Preserve the Georgia Archives. "It takes a near disaster to get more attention."
They were soon joined by groups such as the National Coalition for History and the Council of State Archivists.
Vicki Walch, the council's executive director, said the number of workers at state archives has declined 20 percent since 2004 as the volume of paper records has increased from 2.4 million to 3.4 million linear square feet over the same period. She said many archivists were surprised that Georgia had been hit so hard because the archives, located south of Atlanta in a 10-year-old complex next to a National Archives satellite facility, was regarded as a premier program.
"To have this happen has just sent a shock wave throughout the community because if it can happen in Georgia, what's going to happen someplace else?" Walch said earlier this week.
Archivists complained that no serious research could be conducted during two-hour periods. The archives contains 260 million documents, 1.5 million land grants and plats, and 100,000 photographs.
Archives backers also lamented that people wouldn't be able to easily leaf through important documents such as the 1798 Georgia state constitution — kept in a green bound volume in a secure, climate-controlled room — or Georgia's Royal Charter.
"I think any archivist will tell you that an archive should be open at least five days a week, if not one weekend day, because our mission is to serve the broadest possible constituency we can, said Sarah Quigley, manuscript archivist at Emory University.
In Thursday's announcement, Deal said he would propose that the archives be shifted to the University System of Georgia, effective July 1. The state Legislature must approve the change.
Jared Thomas, a spokesman for Secretary of State Kemp, said his boss supported the changes and would be determining the effect on the laid-off employees, including those in charge of preservation, conservation and reference.
"We don't know yet," he said. "We're still working through the issue. The current level of public access will be maintained.
If the staff cuts remain, Walch is concerned that three staff members won't be able to handle the workload.
"The real shortsighted part of this is without that processing, you'll have access to things processed years ago but the things coming in now that just get shelved won't be open to anybody," she said, suggesting that Georgia could become the first state to shift its archives to a university system.
Minchew said she was "delighted" by the governor's decision to restore some funds and shelve the appointments plan, but also expressed concern about staffing levels. "Now we want to hear more details."

Work Out World Informative - They Are Thieves - Gym
Review by
Comments (21)
EASY BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY -- To whom it may concern:
I joined Work out World in June 2006 and the contract was for one year. Until 2007 I went one day, but I paid my fees faithfully the whole time. Approximately around 11 hundred dollars for that one year including my membership fees were paid in full.
In June of 2007 I received a letter from WOW offering a 25 dollar renewal membership fee for 1 year. I did not pay the fees as I did not want to renew the membership. Now WOW is calling me saying I owe them around 200 dollars with lawyer and late fees.
When I call to cancel my membership, they told me I had to come down and pay the fees, then and only then would they cancel my account. I was under the impression that after not renewing the account , it would be cancelled.
Dealing with customer service has been less then satisfactory as they were rude and unhelpful.
If someone could assist me regarding this situation I would be grateful.

Everything you need to know is contained in the contract you signed when you joined WOW in 2006. Many of these agreements automatically renew or have specific requirements you need to follow to terminate the contract.

I do not recommend this Gym at all - oversold so get in Line to use equipment. Unfair and deceptive practices designed to "dupe" you out of your money- "sorry you got screwed it's company policy" well enough of us together could literally beat the gym to a pulp. If you screwed up like I did and joined already then I suggest this: don't follow the rules- the staff can re rack my weights, don't wipe the equipment off after use- the staff can do it, deliberately be harsh and abusive to the equipment- I advise keying of the screens on the cardio machines, walls, doors and any horizontal surface you can find, you can also give all the padded surfaces a beating with your keys too- Screw me out of $100 dollars and it my "corporate policy" to depreciate and destroy your gym.
Yes, I have an anger issue when deliberately robbed.
If we all did this then they might get the point- if not you got some satisfaction and it's all you will get from Work out World, so it's off to the gym!!! Remember they are ruthless so be ruthless too. Let them feel the wrath of the consumer.
Cancel your credit card you can shaft them that way- no bank draft or they will suck out all your money as fast as they can bill you every month- beware all ye that enter here!

I never think it's right to chew gum in front of other people, but a lot of times I'll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I'll forget I'm chewing it. Then you don't want to swallow it because it stays in your system for seven years or something, so I've asked to throw it away. I've started to wonder if that's why I didn't get certain movies.

#and then she tricked him into revealing his plans #ur fave could never
#except no other faves COULD ever because nearly every other names character in this film is male #and natasha operates within gender paradigms #she exploits them and inverts them and uses them to burn the best laid plans #i do think she's actually afraid here when he says he'll have clint kill her slowly and intimately #just because he could and my kingdom for the two of them when she has a nightmare about the hulk #but otherwise she knows exactly what she's doing. every facial expression and body motion is purposeful #these strong powerful men with ego problems think her vulnerable because she's armed with nothing but her body #and that body is small and breakable and doesn't have any armor at all #but that body is far more powerful than any of those men realize and she can kill with it if she has to #and she's got no problem with that but her main goal is extraction and you can't extract information from the dead #so she takes those assumptions about her and turns that strength against the men who think little of her #she allows them to think they've gotten power over her and in so doing she crawls into their plans and burns them down from the inside #your favorites could actually never because every other avenger in this film is a man #and a man could never do this

The kingdom searched and searched, but they could not find the princess, for deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Gothel raised the child as her own. Gothel had found her new magic flower, and this time, she was determined to keep it hidden. But the walls of that tower could not hide everything. Each year on her birthday, the king and queen released thousands of lanterns into the sky in the hope that one day, their lost princess would return.

"What's worse? New wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should have healed years ago and never did. Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us of where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That's what we like to think. But that's not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again."
