He survived being shot by the Japanese on Okinawa in WWII, but was assassinated by thugs in his home town
"He was the kind of nice old man who'd become your friend in minutes."
He survived the World War II Pacific Theater, came home, and made a good life for himself:
"Shorty," as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company's Trentwood plant for more than 30 years. Belton's wife passed away several years ago.
He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars.
Shorty was Ted Denison's best friend of 23 years; the two played pool occasionally and worked on cars daily.
"He was always there for me when I needed him," Denison said. "We'd joke back and forth. We were always having fun, some sort of fun."
Little did he know, after surviving the bloodbath of Okinawa, and surviving 88 years (which to me seems like a miracle in itself), he meet his end at the hands of teenage thugs near where he went to shoot pool:
KHQ.COM - Police say two teens assaulted 88-year-old Delbert Belton outside the Eagles Lodge in North Spokane Wednesday night around 8pm. Belton was rushed to the hospital where he was placed in the intensive care unit but later died. Police are actively searching for two suspects. They are described to be 16-19 in age, black males & both wearing black clothing, one was wearing a black "Do-Rag" police say.
The police released photos of the two dirtbags who beat Belton to death:
A group of people want to keep the story alive as long as possible using social media like Twitter:
#DelbertBelton. Please RT. Don't let him die without anyone caring.
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) August 23, 2013
@RealJamesWoods Use #JusticeForDelbertBelton
— betsyj. (@ilovecrows28) August 23, 2013
Twitchy is following the Twitter trends, and the hashtag to use is #JusticeForDelbertBelton.
I really wanted to say something here, something to express the profound emptiness I feel tonight after seeing this story, but it escapes me. It both hollowed me out and pissed me off.
I want to believe this is really just random violence like the Spokane Police said, but somehow I think it's gone beyond all that. Of course, I can't lay this at the feet of the race-baiting leftists who the last several years seem to be doing everything in their power to stoke a race war (you know, like the one this guy at Homeland Security seems to be getting ready for?) without proof.
Yeah, probably just two random teenage thugs…

December 7, 1941 – The Original Day of Infamy
71 years separate us from that day in December at Pearl Harbor Naval Base, Hawaii. 2,402 Americans were killed that day, most in the service of our country's military. America mobilized, engaged, and eventually defeated it's enemies.
We've seen our own horrific attack, another date that lives in infamy, one where many thousands of American civilians were massacred on our home continent.
The difference between now and then? Military members and their families largely suffer and sacrifice alone. America isn't mobilized, engaged, and may never defeat its enemies completely.
Americans 71 years ago knew hardship, knew what it was to do without. Being attacked by another country was an outrage.
Today, when merely being inconvenienced is an outrage, we can learn a lot from those men and women who brought the United States through those awful years. Many are still alive, but their numbers are dwindling.
This year will be the first year since 1958 that the Pearl Harbor survivors won't gather to remember December 7th:
Their failing health and dwindling numbers — only a few thousand still live — prompted the organization to disband as the 70th anniversary was observed last year.
Of course, the national day of remembrance goes on today at Pearl Harbor and in ceremonies across the United States. But the change does mark another chapter in the fading presence of the generation that fought — and supported those fighting — World War II.
Just as it has with the passing of the veterans of the Revolution, the Civil War and World War I, the nature of the remembering changes. No one can recount history quite like someone who's lived through it and made it. But then, too, the voices and images of many of those heroes and average Joes and Janes have been recorded and archived in more ways than any earlier conflict.
Pearl Harbor and the mammoth war effort that followed will remain a milestone in our national story, no matter how it's repeated.
Lessons of sacrifice, vigilance and courage will endure. But most important, perhaps, is the legacy of national resilience in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. The attack that Sunday left more than 2,400 Americans dead, most of the U.S. Pacific fleet damaged or sunk, most military aircraft destroyed and Hawaii nearly defenseless.
That Monday, the country came together, rolled up its sleeves and turned to the grim business of war.
Today, our threats and dangers are more and more complex than hostile fleets over the horizon. The next attack may come from a rogue nuclear power, a cargo container, homegrown terrorists or cyber attacks launched against a single key computer or millions of smartphones.
America may find it hard to achieve the unity of Dec. 8, 1941, or Sept. 12, 2001, in a world of threats in shades of gray. But Americans should never forget the power of our nation when we rally together.
If we as a country are going to say "thank you" to these men and women, we'd better make a special point to do it soon.

The "Band of Brothers" reunite to aid charity GallantFew.org
GallantFew is actually more than charity, it's volunteer Ranger vets helping other Ranger vets to transition to civilian life successfully after their military service has ended.
GallantFew, Inc's (501(c)3 Non-Profit) mission is to reduce US Army Ranger veteran unemployment, homelessness and eliminate Ranger veteran suicide by a unique program of one-on-one mentoring by a Ranger veteran, now successful in civilian business, with a Ranger veteran just departed active duty. This effort is called the Darby Project (in honor of WWII's Darby's Rangers). Our dream is to one day be able to assist every honorably discharged veteran from every branch of the service.
Our founder, a veteran, has experienced unemployment. He has fought translating his military skills (Airborne Ranger, infantry company commander and Ranger battalion staff officer) into language appealing to civilian employers. He has experienced the incredible delays in the VA medical system – and he believes we can do better.
How to transfer skills acquired during active service to a civilian resume? It's an essential military skill to be able to drop a 203 round over a wall to get a bad guy, or call in an airstrike without hitting any friendlies, but how does that help in a job search afterward?
GallantFew, Inc., meets these veterans during the process of departing from the military. GallantFew, Inc. coaches them through the transition process, assess their skills, desires and abilities, offer training as necessary, network them professionally and socially back into the community, and will be a source of physical, social, professional and emotional support. Initially we will accomplish this all through volunteers. Ultimately, this program will be funded, staffed, and scaled up to include every veteran of every branch of the military.
Actor Michael Broderick, himself a former Marine, heard about the organization and wanted to help. He'd purchased a studio poster from the epic Band of Brothers miniseries that had signatures from a few of the real-life men of the 101st Airborne Div. depicted in the series, and wanted to donate it to an auction benefiting GallantFew.
Then it got…complicated.
You can follow his progress on Facebook as he completes the project.

THIS is how we honor our war heroes! Beautiful!
Chris Muller was lucky enough to be front and center when a group of WWII vets arrived at Reagan International Airport;
Honor is a hard term to describe. It doesn't have a color or weight or shape. If someone were to ask me what honor looked like, I'd probably struggle with what to say.
But something happened on May 23, 2012 at 9:31 a.m. at Gate 38 of Reagan National Airport that might change that. A flash mob of sorts broke out. But not like you've seen on YouTube with highly choreographed dance numbers or people singing a song in unison. In fact, virtually all of the participants of this "flash mob" didn't know they would be participating until moments before it happened.
Read the rest, it'll bring tears to your eyes…

"All this for a flag?" Yes, Michelle, all this…
When the President's wife mouthed those immortal words last September 11, she revealed a flaw in all of us that has to be addressed if we are to survive as a nation. Somehow we failed to pass on what, exactly, that flag represents.
It's more than mere cloth. It's a symbol of a nation, a people who came together from all over the planet Earth to one continent to forge a place where we could all live together in freedom. A place people sneak IN to, not out of. An imperfect place, as all things created by man tend to be, but we're trying, and we fight to keep those freedoms again and again.
Many have died over the years in that fight to maintain our freedom, and today, we remember them. Our friends, family, neighbors, who were killed over the years in various battles from the microscopic: the roadside IED and ambush, to the gargantuan: the D-Day landings in Normandy, France or Battle for Iwo Jima. We remember them all.
We remember them not with pity, but gratitude. They didn't die for some "imperial hegemony" or dictatorship: they died to keep this a free country, and likely are dying today as I write this, as they did on Memorial Day in 2009.
They died for each other, and they died for us, and today, we remember them.
We remember, Michelle. We remember…
USS San Diego (LPD-22) commissioned in San Diego
The USS San Diego is the fourth US Navy ship to be named after the Navy town of San Diego, California. LPD-22 is capable of hauling two LCACs, plus a fully equipped Marine battalion and has a crew of 361 officers and enlisted personnel.
From Channel 10 in San Diego:
The amphibious transport dock USS San Diego was the first with the moniker of "America's Finest City" to be stationed here. The ship bears Navy number LPD-22.
"With today's ceremony, the Navy will commission the fourth ship to bear the name USS San Diego. From what I've been told, the ship being commissioned today is the most advanced amphibious ship in the world," Mayor Jerry Sanders said. He said the city's relationship with the Navy stretched back to 1921, when a Navy repair base was established.
Sanders presented the ship's officers and the crew with the key to the city, "in honor of welcoming America's finest ship to America's Finest City."
The commissioning ceremony is a naval tradition and historic event for a ship, marking the moment a new craft is placed in active service in the fleet.
Adm. Mark Ferguson, the vice chief of naval operations, said San Diego had been a great home to the United States Navy. He said expectations for the ship were high.
"The USS San Diego joins a Navy that has never been more in demand, never more needed and essential to ensure that our nation retains command of the seas," Ferguson said.
The 684-foot long San Diego, the sixth ship in the San Antonio class, had its keel laid on May 23, 2007, at the Huntington Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss. It was christened June 12, 2010, and delivered to the Navy Dec. 19, 2011.
The ship's sponsor is Linda Winter, wife of former Secretary of the Navy Donald Winter. She gave the command to "Man our ship and bring her to life."
The San Antonio class ship is designed to carry landing craft, fighting vehicles, helicopters and personnel. The ships have more capacity than their predecessors and use "stealth" technology that includes the shape of the hull and its superstructure. It is being called the most advanced amphibious ship in the world.
"Look at the size of it!" said veteran George Horton. "How would you like to paint it? My God."
Horton, 88, has seen the ships grow over the years. Horton joined the Navy in 1942 and served on an older USS San Diego during World War II, just after his 17th birthday.
"Oh, this ship is so magnificent," Horton said through tears. "[I] waited 60 years for this."
Horton's heart seemed to swell with pride as he looked up at the new USS San Diego.
"I just want to see this go to sea and let them know that whenever they release the anchor or let the lines go that my shipmates and I are going with them," Horton said. "They treat me like a member of the ship and it's really touching."
The San Diego's Facebook page is here, and if you live there, you can cheer them on personally.

The Battle of Athens (1946 – USA)
How dare we accept tyranny?
From Constitution.org;
I. Introduction
On 2 August 1946, some Americans, brutalized by their county government, used armed force to overturn it. These Americans wanted honest, open elections. For years they had asked for state or Federal election monitors to prevent vote fraud — forged ballots, secret ballot counts, and intimidation by armed sheriff's deputies — by the local political boss. They got no help.
These Americans' absolute refusal to knuckle-under had been hardened by service in World War II. Having fought to free other countries from murderous regimes, they rejected vicious abuse by their county government. These Americans had a choice. Their state's Constitution – Article 1, Section 26 – recorded their right to keep and bear arms for the common defense. Few "gun control" laws had been enacted.

The story behind the picture – USS Shaw, Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941
Whenever I think of the Pearl Harbor attack, one picture always comes to mind; the picture below as taken from Ford Island NAS of the forward magazine on the USS Shaw (DD-373) exploding.
Among the drydocked ships in the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard when the Japanese attacked was the destroyer USS Shaw (DD-373). Raised out of the water in the floating drydock YFD-2, along with the old harbor tug Sotoyomo (YT-9), Shaw attracted the unwelcome attention of several dive bombers of the second strike wave. These hit her with three bombs at about the same time as they were attacking the then-nearby battleship Nevada. These bombs all hit the forward portion of the ship. The resulting fires proved uncontrollable, and Shaw was ordered abandoned. As efforts were underway to flood the drydock about a half-hour after she was hit, her forward ammunition magazines detonated in a spectacular blast, completely removing her bow. The blast also punctured YFD-2 and Sotoyomo. Both soon sank, the drydock partially and the tug completely, leaving Shaw's after portion afloat, with an intense fire raging at its front.

One of the first things that you'll notice when you step foot on KU's campus is the abundance of young people sporting T-shirts with funny-looking, multi-colored letters on the front. Yes, Greek life is certainly a presence at KU. Greeks control student government and many leadership positions. It is important to note that some students at Kentucky that go Greek do so at the demand of their parents or because they are looking for a way to make friends quickly and have people to party with. Most students at UK are not Greek and enjoy mingling with Greeks and non-Greeks while on campus. Some say that Greeks are a dying breed at UK, especially after they have completed their freshman year rush; few people that rush stay in it for more than two years.
If you are interested in Greek life or wish to run for student government, an institution that is completely controlled by Greeks, you'll be obligated to drop at least a few hundred dollars each semester for membership fees-not to mention all the dough you'll be spending to keep up with the latest in fasion and designer garments. Rush is the first week of school, and you'll have made hundreds of friends by the end of the week (rush or not).

Stand back — it's time to open up the inaugural football mailbag and dive in. I'll be taking your Patriots-related e-mails here every week and publishing the best questions every Wednesday. I welcome any reasonable questions at firstname.lastname@example.com. Knock yourselves out.
Hey Chris,
Although it is only the second game of the season, I think the offensive unit as a whole is out of sync. If Joey Galloway is out of sync, then I guess the rest of the receiving unit is, too. Moss and Welker didn't catch every ball thrown their way, either … or can we just say what it really is … Tom Brady isn't as sharp as he used to be YET. Furthermore, how can we assess Galloway or Moss' speed as of yet when we aren't even going deep. Brady throws an INT and that's the end of the deep ball. Offensive play-calling definitely needs to improve.
A: You hit it on the head, HG. At this stage of the season — other than the last 5½ minutes of the Buffalo game — Brady has not been his usual sharp self. Hard to tell if it is a mechanical problem or rust because of his year off. At this stage, I'd go with the latter. I think there was the assumption that Brady would not miss a beat, but he has struggled. You can talk all you want to about being ready for game speed in the spring and summer months, but it's a far different matter when it comes to executing it once the regular season starts, especially when you consider he is working with several new skill position players around him. In addition, his old offensive coordinator is now calling plays in Denver.
As for the deep ball, I think the Patriots have taken their share of shots down the field with Moss. But within the context of the game plan, I don't know how much of those are needed. Regarding Galloway, I have written before that he and Brady do not appear to be on the same page, and I stand by that. There was a fundamental disconnect on several occasions between the two on Sunday, something that even New York quarterback Mark Sanchez commented on after the game. Galloway's situation reminds me of what the Red Sox went through with John Smoltz — he is a veteran who still has something in the tank, but there appears to be a question if he can acclimate himself to his new environment and how long you want to continue with the experiment.
Do you think the backfield-by-committee could be backfiring or is the O line not good at run-blocking? I know most teams have dual backs and a third-down back, but I just wonder if [Laurence] Maroney, [Sammy] Morris and [Fred] Taylor are having a tough time getting into a groove. I've heard all these guys say this wasn't a problem. What do you think? I'm also wondering if they should give BenJarvus Green-Ellis a shot at starting, maybe one guy with his heart and hard running can have better success! I'm probably dreaming, but what do you think? I know the Pats are a passing team, but they can't run at all?
A: I don't think the backfield is backfiring (well-played, by the way), but I think it's simply part of a larger issue having to do with an offense that is still struggling to find an identity. There's a new offensive play-caller in Bill O'Brien, Brady is coming back after a year on the shelf and there are some new offensive options (Galloway, tight end Chris Baker). It's taken longer than anticipated to get everyone on the same page. (I think if the Pats had to do it all over again, they would have played the new guys together as much as possible during the preseason — nothing builds a good level of trust in your teammates like game reps.)
I would have liked to see the Patriots run the ball more on Sunday — they averaged more than 4 yards a carry, with much of that yardage coming on draw-type plays (handoffs out of the shotgun), an excellent way to gain yardage against an aggressive team that might tend to overpursue like the Jets. And it wasn't like they were down big in the second half and had to pass to get back in it. (The one argument against running the ball was that many times, because of bad penalties, the Patriots found themselves in second- and third-and-long situations, not ideal times to run the ball.)
I still think that the running game can be a key part of this offense — with the combo of Maroney, Morris and Taylor in particular — but I think it's just going to take longer than we all thought.
The Hall of Fame selection commitee needs to change the "rules" for induction. Bucko Kilroy dedicated 64 years of his life to the NFL. His entire career should be evaluated with his nomination to the NFL's Hall of Fame. Not many men contributed in more than one voting category. Bucko Kilroy's invaluable contributions as a player, coach and administrator are worthy of selection into the HOF in Canton, Ohio. Evaulate the man's whole contributions, don't discriminate.
David J. Michael, Jr.
A: Eight people (seven players, one "contributor") associated with the Patriots made the preliminary list of 131 nominees for the Hall of Fame's Class of 2010, which was announced last week. Tight ends Russ Francis and Ben Coates, wide receivers Irving Fryar and Stanley Morgan, quarterback Rich Gannon (who was drafted by New England but went on to achieve his greatest success in Oakland), cornerback Ray Clayborn and nose tackle Fred Smerlas all were nominated, as well as former Patriots executive Francis "Bucko" Kilroy.
If I had to handicap the field, I'd say Francis has the best shot at it. A three-time Pro Bowler, he ended his career with 5,262 receiving yards. But Kilroy definitely should merit consideration. Kilroy was one of the most respected men in the game, and few can boast of the contributions he made as a player, coach and administrator. He played in the league with Philadelphia for 13 years, winning All-Pro honors six times as an offensive lineman, and he spent his last three seasons with the Eagles as a player/coach before becoming a full-time assistant coach and, later, Philadelphia's player personnel director. After his days with the Eagles were done, Kilroy was hired as director of player personnel by the Redskins in 1962. He served as a super scout for the Dallas Cowboys from 1966-70 before joining the Patriots in 1971 as the personnel director.
Some would argue he deserves a shot at the Hall for what he helped do with the Patriots' 1973 draft. That year, New England held three of the first 19 picks. With the fourth pick, the Pats took future Hall of Fame offensive lineman John Hannah out of Alabama. At No. 11, it was running back Sam Cunningham out of Southern Cal. With the 19th overall selection, it was wide receiver Darryl Stingley from Purdue. New England would add a fourth regular to the roster that weekend. In the 14th round, the Patriots selected Ray "Sugar Bear" Hamilton out of Oklahoma.
I'm no Kevin Faulk fan, but where was he on Sunday? Against a blitzing team like the Jets, doesn't it make sense to run some screens? And there's no better weapon we have when it comes to the screen pass than Faulk. Plus, we keep hearing how good he is at blitz pickup — you would have thought he would have been the perfect guy to have in there to keep Brady from getting lit up.
A: Belichick explained the lack of screens on a conference call with the media on Tuesday afternoon. He said that it's a risk-vs.-reward situation because of the style of blitzes New York runs, and there was simply too much of a possible "downside" to try running them.
"The Jets haven't been screened a whole lot this year," Belichick said. "I'm not saying you can't do it, but there's definitely some downside to it and maybe a little more big-play opportunity with it — if you hit it — than against some other teams. It's a little tricky to screen a team like that when you don't really know who's covering the guy that you're screening to, and that's the guy you've really got to get."
As for Faulk, your guess is as good as mine. They were missing Welker, and with as much passing as they were doing in second- and third-and-long situations, the best receiver they have out of the backfield (and one of the best receivers on the team) is Faulk, and they only targeted him once. (He had one reception for three yards.)
The Jets picked up [Kevin] O'Connell and beat us. Can the pickup of former Ravens linebacker Prescott Burgess — whose name sounds like a fictional TV billionaire — help us in the preparation for the Baltimore game in two weeks?
A: Short answer? No. Much was made of O'Connell's work with the Jets, but the Patriots certainly weren't buying into it. On "Dennis & Callahan" on Monday, Tom Brady said someone like that will be able to give you certain things, but the idea of getting enough info to tilt a game in one direction or another isn't likely.
"We have a bunch of different protections and we have a bunch of different blitz-beaters. Unless you know what play is called at that time, you're not going to know how we're adjusting to the blitz," Brady said. "He can go in there and say, 'OK, on this play this is what they do,' but that's always in hindsight, that's him looking at the play … we could line up in a different formation and then it's different. And most teams do it the exact same way. It's not hard to study film and figure out how you pick up the blitz. I don't think that's something that's like a big mystery."
As for Burgess, his biggest impact — at least at the start — will be felt more on special teams. I spoke with someone who has covered the Ravens this year, and Burgess was considered one of Baltimore's top special teams players. Down the road, he could figure into the mix at outside linebacker. (Speaking of guys getting picked up by other teams and giving them inside info, here's an interesting take on the Burgess deal.)
The last few years, Rodney Harrison was the guy who always covered the big-time tight ends. He took down guys like [Indianapolis'] Dallas Clark and [Dallas'] Jason Witten. With no Rodney, who's gonna be the guy who gets after those guys now? They're facing a really good TE this week in [Tony] Gonzalez — whose gonna check him?
A: There's not going to be one designated guy anymore — the matchups will be dictated by who matches up best with the opposing tight end. If there's a tight end who has good speed out there, you might see Gary Guyton assigned to cover him, as Guyton remains one of the fastest linebackers in the league. If there's someone with a little less speed and a little more bulk, it could be Brandon McGowan, a safety who has made a significant mark in his short time in New England.
"We're going to try to use different personnel, and that may not ever be the same guy twice," defensive coordinator Dean Pees said Tuesday when asked who will take over that role. "Sometimes it might be more than one guy."
Regardless of who it is, the days of pointing No. 37 in the direction of the opposing tight end and turning him loose are definitely done.

Yap, Taufiq Yun Hin and Sakakini, Bahij H. and Waugh, Kenneth C. (1997) On the mechanism of the selective oxidation of n-butane, but-1-ene and but-1,3-diene to maleic anhydride over a vanadyl pyrophosphate catalyst. Catalysis Letters, 46 (3-4). pp. 273-277. ISSN 1011-372X

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1023/A:1019070502640
The mechanism of the selective partial oxidation of n-butane, but-1-ene and but-1,3-diene over a vanadyl phosphate catalyst has been investigated by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and by anaerobic temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO). TPD showed lattice oxygen to be desorbed in two states at 998 and 1023 K. The anaerobic TPO of n-butane produced butene and butadiene at 1020 K; anaerobic TPO of but-1-ene produced butadiene and furan at 990 K and dehydrofuran at 965 K, while anaerobic TPO of but-1,3-diene produced dehydrofuran at 970 K, furan at 1002 K and maleic anhydride at 1148 K. The total amount of oxygen removed from the lattice in these anaerobic selective partial oxidations was the same as that evolved from the vanadyl phosphate catalyst by TPD. This, and the fact that the selective oxidation reactions occurred at the same temperature at which the oxygen evolves from the lattice, suggests that the lattice oxygen is uniquely selective when it appears at the surface of the catalyst. (Under identical conditions of flow rate, weight of catalyst, heating rate etc., the reaction of n-butane or of but-1,3-diene in air produced only CO2 and H2O.)

Backpacking the Axis of Evil
Some people look at the US State Department travel warnings as a guideline of countries to stay away from. If you consider Thailand, etc overrated by the "nomadic" set, why not look the other direction and see what countries aren't considered tourist hotspots?
After doing the Trans-Siberian/Trans-Mongolian railway two years ago, I figured why not take another epic train trip? And epic train trips demand epic destinations that no one goes to on their vacation. Why not Iran? Sure, Iran and the US aren't too friendly right now, but that's part of the appeal. Anyone can backpack through Europe or do a "round the world" trip, but why not go into somewhere different?
As an American citizen, there are a whole host of issues: getting an independent visa is practically impossible, and once you're there, your credit cards and ATM cards won't work either due to treasury restrictions. And on the way back, US Immigration might not take too kindly to me going there. Either way, it should be quite exciting.
The train seems like the most interesting way to get into Iran. After consulting with Seat 61, the immensely helpful train website, there's a train that leaves from Istanbul to Tehran once a week, taking about 70 hours to cross 1800 miles of the Turkish countryside. Flying into Khomeini airport doesn't hold any appeal because it robs an epic trip like this of a sense of adventure. The train trip itself in first class is a hair under 40 Euros, which seems suspiciously inexpensive.
Getting a visa as a US citizen is a bit more difficult. You're required to have a tour guide, and an official tourism invite letter, which puts the cost at around $150. Having an official tour guide can either be helpful or quite a hassle. Outside of day trips, I've only had one tour guide and it was a mixed experience.

Publisher's Description
In ministry, survival can mean a lot of things - such as the difference between "existing" in a place and "thriving" in a place of ministry. It can mean you surviving your husband's job joyfully, or grudgingly. One thing is for sure, your survival and the way you feel about ministry are critical to your husband's success.
Jeana Floyd
A strong marriage plays a pivotal role in the success of a ministry. Being the wife of a minister can be tremendously rewarding, but it is also a commitment of time, personal investment, and patience. Ministry is a challenging vocation, even in the best of times. Jeana Floyd knows these challenges well and has created this faith-affirming guide for pastors wives. Sharing years of wisdom and insight from her participation in her husband's growing and visionary ministry, 10 Things Every Minister's Wife Needs to Know is filled with practical tips on marriage, prayer, stewardship, parenting, and faith. With "interactive testimonies" included from other wives of pastors at the end of each chapter, the book shares poignant and powerful insights any woman or wife can appreciate.
Author Bio
Jeana Floyd has been a pastors wife for over 32 years. She is the mother of two married sons, Josh, who is married to Kate, and Nick, who is married to Meredith. She has three grandchildren, Peyton, Parker, and Reese Caroline, and another grandson is on the way. Jeana lives in Springdale, Arkansas with her husband, Dr. Ronnie Floyd, who is pastor of The First Baptist Church of Springdale and The Church at Pinnacle Hills. She is also the author of the book An Uninvited Guest, published in 2007.

Davidson, Thomas Peter George (2007) Using tensile tests as benchmark, investigate the best percentage by weight of slg, as fillers, in Phenolic resins post-cured by microwaves. [USQ Project] (Unpublished)
Davidson_2007.pdf Download (3097Kb) |
[Abstract]: This project is based upon finding the best percentage by weight of slg fillers in phenolic resin, and finding the mechanical properties via tensile testing. Importance is placed on reducing input costs in industry while meeting employer needs. For this reason strategies have been developed and tested within this report. Increasing the amount of slg fillers that are added into phenolic resins will ensure cost savings and a decrease in weight of the specimen without sacrificing the strength of the mechanical properties. Commercial Phenol Formaldehyde based resole thermosetting resin, was mixed with an acid catalyst at a 50:1 ratio along with a percentage of a ceramic based slg filler. Tensile testing was performed to the produced composites to determine yield and tensile strength. Young's Modulus was also calculated to test the stiffness of the material. These tests were used to determine the optimum addition level of filler to the sample. Once composites were removed from the moulds post-curing was conducted in a microwave. Times recorded varied from 25-30 minutes, depending on the percentage of slg filler. Composite samples ranged from a percentage of filler added to the composite from 0% to 35%, in increments of 5%, hence eight samples in total were produced. To allow for an accurate comparison three more composites were produced at 5%, 15% and 25% and post-cured by conventional oven, this ensured primary results were be used. Conventional oven post-curing showed clear results at 5% that were three times that of post-curing by microwave at 5%, however there was a rapid drop in strength varying from 5% to 25% from post-curing by conventional oven. Post-curing by way of microwave produced more consistent results, however the standout percentage's in strength were 10-20%. In addition to the findings, microscopic photos were taken to provide further information about the effects of the two post-curing methods. A cost analysis of the materials used in the study was calculated to demonstrate the benefits of filler addition to composites.

(Reuters) – A Kansas-based food processor recalled hundreds of pounds of fresh-cut cantaloupe on Friday because of possible Listeria contamination linked to melons from Colorado that were blamed for an outbreak that has killed eight people.
Carol's Cuts was recalling 594 pounds of cantaloupe packaged in 5-pound trays and as an ingredient in fruit medleys distributed in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, a recall notice posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website said.
In addition to the eight deaths, a total of 55 people in 14 states have been sickened from Listeria-tainted cantaloupes traced to melons grown at Colorado-based Jensen Farms Inc and sold under the brand name Rocky Ford.
"The Carol's Cuts recall is part of a larger recall involving cantaloupe traced to Rocky Ford cantaloupes produced by Jensen Farms," the recall notice said.
"Consumers who may have the recalled Carol's Cuts product in their possession should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or destroy it," it added.
The Food and Drug Administration said last week the tainted cantaloupes were shipped to 17 states. Not all states that have received shipments of the melons appear to have seen infections.
The recall notice said the fruit in the Carol's Cuts recall, which had use-by dates of September 19 at the latest, was sold to institutional customers including restaurants and may have been used in salad bars or as a fruit menu item.
The Colorado company linked to the outbreak, Jensen Farms, has voluntarily recalled its cantaloupes shipped between July 29 and September 10.
Listeria monocytogenes, the bacterial strain found in the tainted cantaloupes, thrives at low temperatures, the CDC said on its website. Infection can be particularly dangerous for elderly people, pregnant women and patients with weakened immune systems, health officials said.
Previous Listeria outbreaks linked to produce were traced to sprouts and celery.

That was so much fun that night, but I forgot that it was only 3-3 prior to that in the third quarter. Didn't that game end up in the 40s? I'm too lazy to look it up. *I looked it up, 31-17. It was the Missouri game I was thinking about. Still, 35 points scored after 'The Run'.

Football great Deion Sanders has officially served his wife, Pilar Sanders with divorce papers. Pilar is Deion's second wife and mother of three of his children.
Reports In Flex We Trust:
Word on the street is Pilar received the documents yesterday, in Dallas,Texas. Deion is reportedly tired of Pilar acting all diva like, he stated if he wanted a model or actress he would have married one a long time ago. Here's what Deion said about the split:
"Enough is enough. I never signed up for all this. Enough is enough. If I wanted a model or a television star I would have married one a long time ago. All I wanted was a housewife."
I'm hearing that Pilar still would like to make her marriage work, she loves her husband, but she is committed to building a career for herself, and refuses to turn a blind eye towards his cheating ways!
I see said the blind man.
And now…Pillar responds via a statement: "It's unfortunate that my husband decided to take this course of action…I'm surprised and hurt… As I said to my children, we must take a minute breath and Trust God."
Too bad Deion and Pilar don't know a dress that zips up the back will bring a husband and wife together. Maybe they should try that.

Markets overseas are also responding to the lasted U.S. unemployment numbers. On Friday, the Labor Department reported that employers added 103,000 jobs in September. That's about double what economists had projected. Still, those gains weren't enough to change the unemployment rate, which is stuck at 9.1 percent.
Most of the new jobs are coming from small businesses, and the decision to add even one person to the payroll is a huge leap of faith for a small company. NPR's Wendy Kaufman profiles a firm that's done the math and is ready to hire.
WENDY KAUFMAN, BYLINE: At the beginning of every week, Rusty George, the founder of a Tacoma, Washington image-building and marketing company that bears his name, holds a staff meeting.
RUSTY GEORGEFOUNDER, RUSTY GEORGE CREATIVE: And this is our conference room right here.
KAUFMAN: George pulls down a very cool-looking transparent garage door to close off the conference room. The door's a throwback to the time when this loft office was a garage. Now it houses eight employees, a number that will soon grow to nine.
CREATIVE: All right, guys. Welcome to our meeting today. Happy Monday. So the first thing about the status meeting is we are looking for a new account manager. We've gotten about three to five resumes in of good, qualified people. We're waiting on a couple more, hopefully, to come in. Then we're going to start the hiring the process.
KAUFMAN: The process, he tells them, will be careful and deliberate. Rusty George and his wife Kitura George - the firm's operations manager - have learned a painful lesson.
CREATIVE: Yeah, most definitely. I mean you...
KITURA GEORGE: Yeah.
CREATIVE: Just can't do things based off of gut feeling.
KAUFMAN: In the middle part of the last decade, their business was booming and they hired like crazy. Rusty George says he didn't spend enough time asking himself: Does this hire make economic sense? It certainly didn't appear that way when the economy collapsed, and the law firms, condo developers, museums solo entrepreneurs and other clients stopped buying their services.
CREATIVE: They just all turned their faucets off at the exact same time. And here we were, riding with 17 people, and a lot of people that were sitting around not really with anything they could be working on that was billable.
KAUFMAN: George, who a few years back was named one of the state's best small business owners, would eventually lay off more than half the staff. He soon discovered that although he was bringing in less money, he was actually posting bigger profits. But over the past year or so, business has picked up substantially. Old clients are coming back, new ones are signing up, and Kitura George says the firm now has more work than it can handle.
GEORGE: We're basically at that point where we don't feel like it would be fair to clients or our employees to not bring on somebody and, you know, grow.
KAUFMAN: You guys having these discussions over dinner, over morning coffee, going...
KAUFMAN: ...should we hire somebody?
GEORGE: Driving to work and driving home from work and...
CREATIVE: Working on Sunday...
GEORGE: Yeah. And Sunday.
CREATIVE: ...saying okay, well, I think we're at the point where we can actually bring more people on.
KAUFMAN: But they made that decision only after doing the math. Using a variety of spreadsheets and other tools, they calculated the cost of a new employee practically down to the penny.
CREATIVE: Their medical and dental and their compensation, their parking, their computer, the amount of coffee that we'll have to, you know, start increasing. And then we put that into our major overhead and figure out how much more per hour it's going to cost us.
KAUFMAN: Then they figured out how much more revenue and profit could be generated by hiring the right person for a particular job. And only after those numbers added up did they post the job opening.
Economist Ken Goldstein of the Conference Board says for any company, the decision to hire is a big deal, but for a giant company, hiring an additional employee probably won't make much difference to the bottom line. But Goldstein says...
KEN GOLDSTEIN: If you've got eight employees and you add a ninth one and you made a monumental mistake, obviously, it's a much bigger chunk of your overall activity. So it's a much bigger deal for a small company to get it right.
KAUFMAN: Rusty and Kitura George understand that.
GEORGE: As an employer and owning a business and running it, I would say failure's not an option. You've just got to figure out - it may not be the same groove you were working in four years ago, but figuring out how that works for you now.
KAUFMAN: The Georges hope their new hire will be a great addition to their staff. They are still accepting resumes, but only the super-qualified need apply. Wendy Kaufman, NPR News.

Bombing My Mind
Bombing My Mind
Developmental Cell, Volume 21, Issue 2,
Pages e1-,
Publication Date 16 August 2011
Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2011.06.031

A paper from Itoh et al. has stuck with me since its publication date 8 years ago for many reasons, but primarily because it stretched my mind and pleased my eye.
The major conclusion of the paper—that Mind bomb-mediated ubiquitination of Delta promotes its endocytosis, thereby activating Notch signaling in an adjacent cell—was an important advance in the fields of ubiquitin-mediated regulation, Delta-Notch activated signaling, and neuronal development. For these reasons the title and abstract caught my attention. However, this manuscript was a challenging read for a life-long yeast cell biologist. I had heard talks over the years from my developmental biology colleagues, but I wasn't used to looking carefully at zebrafish embryos. I had also never rigorously thought through the experiments that would be needed to test whether a signal was acting cell autonomously in vivo. The paper therefore took time, but it was well worth it: the data are spectacular, both in clarity and aesthetics, and the conclusions are significant. A paper with a protein named Mind bomb, magenta and green fluorescent micrographs, and a description of a new ubiquitin ligase has everything it takes to make my day.
This PaperPick relates to "Mind Bomb Is a Ubiquitin Ligase that Is Essential for Efficient Activation of Notch Signaling by Delta" by M. Itoh, C.-H. Kim, G. Palardy, T. Oda, Y.-J. Jiang, D. Maust, S.-Y. Yeo, K. Lorick, G.J. Wright, L. Ariza-McNaughton, A.M. Weissman, J. Lewis, S.C. Chandrasekharappa, and A.B. Chitnis, published in January 2003.

"I aint mad" Sometimes, one's tone and diction can be misinterpreted. That is most likely my fault. |

I hate to see creativity and the willingness to find better solutions get crushed because the desired response wasn't achieved. It always reminds me of that scene in My Cousin Vinny, where Vinny makes an objection, and spouts off an intelligent, law based argument. The judge looks at him and says "Mr. Gambini, that is a Lucid, intelligent, well thought out objection. Overruled!" And Vinny looks crestfallen for a minute, then sits back down and carries on. |

In your view, perhaps 5 or 6 similar threads could be created to make your arbitrary regions with the same goal in mind. Cheers Brian

I agree that it is a pain to use the meetup section to find and update hangouts. I see a lot of suggestions of workarounds, but all seem to be just a way to avoid the simpler solution of subsections. I disagree that a State-by-State section somehow hampers out of staters ability to find a trip in a nearby state. The suggestion to make it regional is worse as the arbitrary regions require people to either know or look up which state belongs to which region. If a few states already have quite a few threads which are pushing everything else off the main... then a subforum for them seems appropriate. It doesn't matter what I think though, TPTB decided long ago to not do this as is their right. IMO, that is too bad as I think it would encourage more get togethers andfurther the camaraderie of the forum members.

Maybe some of those eager to moderate a sub-forum could just "manage" the thread, picking out the upcoming hangs in their region, and keeping a running total of upcoming hangs. They'd have to keep the thread on topic. Not to take it too far, but maybe someday these could become stickies. Kind of like this: Southeast Group Hangs - 2013 States: AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV January 18-20 - VA - Grayson Highlands State park - 7th annual Mt Rogers hangout. January 18-21 - FL - Central Florida - Buck Lake - THIRD ANNUAL FLORIDA HANG Buck Lake, Fl 1-18 to 1-21 January 25-27 - SC - Columbia - Sesqui State Park - REV's Frozen Butt Hang, Columbia SC February 22-24 - FL - Central Florida - Arbuckle - FL>LWRSF>Arbuckle>2nd Annual Sherpa Hang March 15-17 - SC - Huntington Beach State Park - 2nd Annual Spring Swing 2013 SC March 22-24 - FL - TBD - First Annual - "Bold City" Hang!!!

It helps newbies like me when thread originators do not include the state, I don't know the trail locations and have to google the areas to see where they are.

Well yeah theres a lot of options because thats all the Legendary Pokemon (as of Gen V). I wanted to include every Legendary Pokemon because many people have different opinions on which Legendary Pokemon they like the most, and if I didn't add all, then some people may feel left out.Originally Posted by Pidgeot
I made it so you can choose multiple because if you think about it, only getting to choose one Pokemon is unfair, because not only I have many favorite Legendary Pokemon, but many other people do to :)

My favorite is Moltres, because back then, I loved Fire-types. Looking back, I don't even remember why. That was 14 years ago, what can I say? I guess you can say that it's because of nostalgia.
Darkrai is my all-time favorite Pokemon at the moment, that also makes him my favorite Legendary Pokemon too. So dark and handsome, with a sly and cunning air about him, but is really hurt and misunderstood deep inside and wants a friend.
Other favorites of mine...well, basically even Gen III Legendary and up. I don't like the Gen I/II Legendaries that much anymore, except for Mewtwo, Ho-oh, and Entei.
Signature is a WIP for the moment.
For now, I have claimed: Mewtwo, Member's Card, Wide Lens, Honey Gather, and Psystrike.
I voted for Mew, Lugia, Kyogre and Giratina. All of them became favorites of mine the moment I laid eyes on them. I liked Mew because it was cute yet powerful, I liked Lugia because of its dragon-esque appearance, I liked Kyogre's unique design and ability to summon rain, and I really thought Giratina was the best-looking Legendary Pokemon from Generation 4.
Soul of the mind, key to life's ether. Souls of the lost withdrawn from its vessel. Let strength be grant so the world might be mended... so the world might be mended.
I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values, I don't use cheating devices, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature
Ho-oh is mine!

I have had low platelets for almost 30 years. I started out with 96,000 and have gradually dropped over the years. I gradually developed a mild macrocytic anemia. I self diagnosed myself as ITP for years but when the anemia became more obvious I worried about MDS. I finally got my first bone marrow when platelet count dropped to 27k. I was diagnosed with low risk MDS. My question is : Have you seen previous cases of ITP evolve into MDS? How often? Might the MDS have evolved from chronic immune stimulation and mutation of rapidly dividing megakaryocytic stem cells? Might I be more or less likely to respond to NPlate or Promacta or vidaza?

Musical Tights, Leggings & Leotards
The idea of theatre tights is to provide more movement for actors on the stage. The musical theatre leggings are designed with a flexible shape that ensures that actors can perform to their best. Used in physical theatre as well as musicals, these leggings and theatre leotards are in the colours that best represent each performance. Another reason why they are used on the stage is to keep the actors comfortable so that they can perform better. Since theatre started thousands of years ago, theatre tights and clothing has been used whether they were specifically made or just the best thing they could find.
There are many famous actors in this industry that rely on theatre tights and other aspects of performance to get the best effect with their voice and movement. The importance of theatre leotards has already been established but this is always a concern when it comes to rehearsals and performances. All acting teachers prefer students in flexible clothing and non-restricting tops. This is, as said before, because you cant get the most out of your performance unless you are in flexible clothing. More and more musicals are being produced and with this comes new designs for musical theatre leggings and tops. The professional way to be prepared for any rehearsal or show is as follows:
Hair Tied Back: To get full view of what is coming next in any rehearsal and to ensure you are being safe, it is important to have your hair off your face especially during physical theatre and dance productions.
Flexible Clothing: You need to be in non-restricting attire as this will allow more movement, to ensure you can perform to your best ability.
No Jewellery: Make sure that you dont have any accessories on you when rehearsing, it is important to be in simple wear for safety reasons as well as comfort.
Correct Footwear: When it comes to your feet, it is best to either rehearse barefoot or in flexible plimsolls to ensure you dont slip on the floor and can perform to your best.
Musical theatre began in ancient Greece, when theatre tights werent available, and since then has become a popular art in the performance industry. The musical theatre leggings are a big part of the performance industry as they enhance performance and make the actor feel more comfortable. Another bonus that theatre leotards and leggings provide is an actors physique; this is why most actors on the stage always have that athletic figure. Mastering musical theatre is tricky but with the correct clothing actors find it a lot easier. This is because the correct theatre clothing allows them to breathe easier so that can project their voice more and move more freely.

As much as I appreciate the developers early entry into the market -- that component seems to be fairly outdated and has not been upgraded for a while. I've not looked at this software in a while but GeoDesic solutions used to have a fairly well tiered membership options.

MacBook Pro vs new 2012 iMac
I am unsure on whether to purchase the new 27" iMac baseline, or to buy the Non-Retina MacBook Pro 15" with either Hi-Res or Hi-Res antiglare. The specs are as follows; iMac - £1318 / $2130 2.9 GHz i5 2560x1440 IPS display 8GB RAM - 1TB 7200RPM HDD 660M GPU 512MB VRAM MacBook - £1395 / $2254 2.3 GHz i7 1680x1050 TN display 8GB RAM (aftermarket) - 500GB 5400RPM HDD 650M GPU 512MB VRAM My main questions are; 1. Would the iMac or Macbook be quicker for some of the following programmes; -Battlefield 3 (HIGH settings), Some Call Of Duty titles, Adobe CS suite, Aperture etc - not at professional level, student level. 2. If I was to buy a iMac now, then sell in 18 months when i go to University/College for a Macbook, would I lose out massively and is it therefore better to buy the MacBook now? 3. With much speculation of the non retina Macbook being scrapped at next update, is it worth not buying for that reason? 4. I would probably want to purchase a 27 thunderbolt display at next refresh, so factoring the cost of that in with the accessories needed for the laptop (case, etc) does the iMac represent better value for money? I'm open to any other suggestions for any other setup ideas, thanks for your time if you reply! |

I'm not sure either of the computers will be able to run BF3 on high settings. I have a Mac Pro and it has trouble with Black Ops on high. I would go with the Macbook. Heat might be a problem, but you'll lose quite a bit of money if you sell it a year after you've bought it. In both these cases, the GPU would be the bottleneck, what would slow the game down. Either computer would run the other non-game applications just fine.
I would also recommend not buying the Apple display. It looks nice, but all in all it is a mediocre display that costs $1000. I would buy a thunderbolt to dvi converter, then buy a display off Newegg or something and save 700 bucks. You could even use that money to buy a better Macbook.

Love That Dog & Hate That Cat by Sharon Creech
Think you hate reading? Don't get poetry? Don't
think you're a good writer? Well, take a glance inside the first few
pages of Love That Dog, my friend.
Seriously, these books are so good. Even if you hate reading, even if you think the little tiny books are beyond your reading level, even if you're a grown up. Everyone will relate to something in these stories. They have a journal-like, poetic quality, with touching insights into the mind and thought process of a blossoming (at times hesitant) young writer, reader and observer. Hate That Cat, puts a very cool spin on the way we see, hear and read the world, and silently explains why we'll always need poetry.
BONUS FEATURE: There are many well-loved poems included in each story, (check them out in the back of each book) giving you a chance to learn them for the first time, or again with new eyes.
