7 reviewsInflatable Punch Bag Set
The perfect way to help kids burn off some excess energy, the inflatable punchbag immediately bounces back up again after it's been hit.
Youngsters who spend too long cooped up in front of the TV or computer games can end up restless or struggling to get off to sleep at night. This is an ideal way to ensure children tire themselves out in the lead-up to a good night's sleep.
The inflatable punch bag comes with a pair of kid's kick boxing gloves and can easily be set up either inside or outside the house.
Warning: Not suitable for children under 3 years.

0 reviewThis holiday inflatable set is the perfect pack for a fun filled family holiday by the pool or sea! This complete pack includes 6 inflatables and has everything kids (and adults) could want for some quality time in the water. The set includes the comfortable deluxe lounge with pillow for lying down and lazing about on the water. For the more adventurous, the Mud Master swim ring is an awesome inflatable to go down waterslides on, whilst the Dragon Turtle ride-on with its mean looking design is great for kids to create some fantastic water based play scenarios!
The pool float is a great way for kids aged between 3-6 to be introduced to swimming, or to simply drift about in the water. Those confident enough to swim without the assistance of a rubber ring can don the stylish dolphin armbands and doggy paddle to their hearts content. There is also an inflatable beach ball, ideal for family games of volley ball in the pool or at the beach!

Leo Quintero knows firsthand the thrill of playing music onstage. As a professional guitarist, composer, recording artist, and producer, he has shredded his six-string in front of dancing crowds from Venezuela to Florida. At Leo Quintero Music, he guides his charges from the classroom to the stage, helping them begin their musical journeys or fine-tune their licks in guitar-focused classes. Students 6 years and older can study scales and chord progressions alongside other beginners during group classes. Private lessons pair Leo with just one student, eliminating the temptation to pass notes to their friends asking what fork they used for lunch. Leo also takes pride in helping his pupils prepare for college auditions.
The members of PAN Performing Arts Network bring a range of backgrounds to their international collective: some are experienced musical composers, guitarists, and singers, while others are established teaching artists and actors. Their expertise allows them to gather all the arts under one roof with an annual performance season and more than 40 regular classes each week. These classes span instruction in dance styles such as ballet, modern, Afro-Haitian, and Irish step, as well as training in creative movement, acting, instrumental music, and voice. Instructors tailor their classes to the needs of beginner through advanced-level adults, children, and children disguised as adults. They also provide classes suited to senior citizens and students with special needs.
Rhythm & Pitch's staff of nearly 20 teachers enables an enormous variety of classes: not only music for kids and adults, but also theater, dance, color guard, sound engineering, and music ministry. Instrument-specific lessons set pianists and guitarists on the path to virtuosity and help ventriloquists' dummies discover their own voice. Ready-made groups, including jazz combos and symphonic wind ensembles, provide performance opportunities every few months. A duo of state-certified teachers runs the after-school program, which provides kids up to age 18 with a snack, instruction in the school's three specialties, and homework help.
MUSE stands for "mastering unique self expression"—a common experience for students at the MUSE Center for the Arts, where they show off their creativity in dance, music, and theater classes. Its instructors, who come from a variety of arts backgrounds, have extensive résumés, including dancing with choreographer Twyla Tharp's company, performing at the Metropolitan Opera House, and specializing in stage combat.
Both children and adults learn styles such as jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary in dance classes, and skilled kids aged 6–18 can try out for MUSE's competitive dance team. Musicians can further their craft in private or group lessons available for a variety of instruments, including voice, guitar, and violin. And the theater season is divided into school-year and summer sessions, where young Broadway hopefuls learn how to sing, dance, and write a quippy Playbill bio.

Much of the analysis in the wake of the recent impeachment crisis concerns the question of who in Congress acted constitutionally and who was partisan. This question requires some unraveling.
To begin, what does it mean for Congress to act constitutionally? The central institutional feature of the Constitution is separation of powers — the division of government's powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. In this context, the constitutional duty of officeholders is to defend their branches' prerogatives, even when this means rising above partisanship. Thus James Madison wrote that "ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place." The separation of powers will not work if officeholders won't or can't defend their institutions against the other branches.
This is clearly the sense in which Watergate has been understood for a quarter century. Republicans who sided with Democrats in that crisis have been portrayed as bipartisan, because they abandoned the president of their own party and joined members of the majority in defending congressional prerogatives. This was explained at the time as a constitutional imperative. As Congressman Chet Holifield noted, "the larger issue at stake is the prerogative of the Congress, its power and prestige as an institution."
After Watergate the congressional majority forged new tools for confronting the presidency, including the Office of Special Counsel. And it employed these tools even against its own party's presidents: Democratic Congresses used provisions of the Special Counsel law against President Carter in the 1970s and authorized Kenneth Starr's investigation of President Clinton in the early '90s. But in recent years, the argument that it is Congress's constitutional duty to defend its prerogatives against the presidency has been virtually abandoned. Likewise the idea that such a defense is the ground of congressional bipartisanship. To the contrary, during the recent impeachment trial, Democrats forcefully defended presidential prerogatives. And "bipartisan" was a label bestowed on Republicans who joined them.
What explains this abrupt reversal? Why, in Madison's terms, have the ambitions and interests of congressional Democrats and many Republicans become disconnected from the constitutional rights of Congress and attached instead to those of the presidency?
Here it is necessary to consider the purpose of separated powers, as well as the longstanding partisan debate in America about its merits.
The separation of powers was designed, among other things, to uphold the principle of limited government. It provides a means to prevent any single branch from accumulating sufficient power to act tyrannically or unlawfully. But in the mid-1960s, a debate emerged over the virtues of limited government, and thus over the benefits of separated powers. So-called conservatives stood for the older view that government should be limited to protecting individual rights and maintaining the conditions for a free society. So-called liberals argued that government should do more, and supported the erection of an administrative state which would solve all of society's economic, social and cultural problems through a vast and powerful regulatory bureaucracy — a bureaucracy that combined many of the powers the Constitution had separated.
In subsequent years this debate has been manifest largely in confrontations between presidents and Congress. For most of this period, pro-bureaucracy Democrats held the legislative branch and anti-bureaucracy Republicans the White House. Reconsider Watergate in this larger context: Nixon was perceived as a threat to the administrative state after his landslide re-election in 1972. In his second Inaugural Address he opposed "solutions of a purely governmental kind for every problem." More importantly, his 1973 budget was designed to cripple the burgeoning bureaucracy. House Speaker Carl Albert responded by vowing that Congress would "not permit the President to lay waste the great programs...inaugurated by FDR and advanced and enlarged by every Democratic president since then." So when Watergate came to a head, Congress's defense of its prerogatives, and thus of the separation of powers, was perfectly compatible with its partisan support of the administrative state.
This compatibility held up for two decades. But it eroded when the Republican party took over Congress in 1994 and many Republicans began to speak recklessly of the "irrelevance of the president" and of their "revolutionary" intentions to cut back government. This talk only served to revitalize the moribund Clinton presidency, giving it a purpose which resonated with every interest in the country which had established ties with, or received benefits from the federal bureaucracy over the past four decades. This included congressional Democrats, whose previously chilly relations with the President became warm.
In this light, the lesson of the recent impeachment crisis is clear: unlike congressional opponents of the administrative state during Watergate, its congressional supporters in both parties today place their policy agenda before their allegiance to Congress, the separation of powers and the Constitution itself. This is not so shocking as its sounds, given that their conception of social justice--bringing about the good society through the bureaucratic apparatus of the administrative state--presupposes that limited-government constitutionalism is fundamentally lacking.
The Constitution did not create a system to mandate a good society through centralized regulation, because the Framers were doubtful that this was humanly possible. They were deeply familiar with attempts by religious authorities to establish good societies, which attempts had resulted not in justice but in tyrannies of the clergy. Consequently, the Framers only attempted to create the conditions of a free society, in which the people themselves would determine the meaning of the good life.
Barring a return to the Framers' limited-government constitutionalism--against which Democrats are united and on which Republicans are divided--it only remains to be seen whether the good society implicit in the idea of the administrative state will achieve justice or a tyranny of bureaucrats. Either way, the recent impeachment crisis, in which Congress abandoned many of the forms as well as rejecting the underlying philosophy of constitutionalism, will be seen as a significant step in that direction.

Deputies arrested a 19-year-old Bradenton man early this morning. Police have been investigating several vehicle break-ins in the GreyHawk Landing subdivision.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said in a news release there was not enough evidence to link the man, Ryan Price, to the burglaries, but he faces charges of loitering and prowling.
Deputies responded to GreyHawk at roughly 4:30 a.m. to a report about a suspicious vehicle.
A security guard said he saw Price run away from the vehicle when Prince saw the guard.
Deputies could not find the suspect.
As they watched the car, Price returned to it and got inside.
Deputies stopped him.
During a search of the area, deputies found several vehicles had been burglarized and personal items stolen.
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information can call the sheriff's office at (941) 747-3011 or Crime Stoppers at 866-634-TIPS.

I said it was complicated. Medicare does NOT cover either the pods or the DexCom sensors. However, in order for my secondary insurance to cover them as they were doing before I was on Medicare and when they were my primary insurance, I must have a denial of coverage from Medicare. Then, now that I use Liberty, I pay $1000 deductible and they pay 80% of the cost of the pods and sensors. I thought I understood that your Medicare Advantage Plan through BC/BS paid for your pods. But that's new, correct? I know that I can't change plans until the end of 2012 but in the meantime, I can be looking for the right plan for me. Again, thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info, I'll investigate more thoroughly to see what I can find like that. When my employee plan was BC/BS it was not very satisfactory. Changing would would mean leaving the healthcare plan I had when I worked with which I was very satisfied but as you can see, it's quite expensive.

Oklahoma high school seniors who took the American College Testing (ACT) exam last spring showed an increase in their composite scores over the previous year's seniors, moving the state scores closer to the national average, a new report shows.
Data released Wednesday by ACT shows that this year's senior class scored an average of 20.8 on the test, which is 0.1 point higher than the 2012 score.
The national average for 2013 graduates was 20.9, a 0.2 point decrease from 2012
Words are powerful things. They shape our views on issues; they allow us to express ourselves; and they have the power to hurt and heal. This week's OneSix8 brings three word-worthy events to fill the hours in your week.
Originally published on Thu August 22, 2013 11:43 am
Some Bank of America branches with drive-through tellers from Georgia to Texas have already closed the lanes, according to spokeswoman Tara Burke.
She wouldn't divulge exactly how many are closing. She did say the decision is not a cost-cutting move but a response to the way people are banking.
About 13 million customers bank by mobile phone and 29 million participate in online services. Among them is 19-year-old Brittney Sprague who says, "Not too many folks will really miss the drive-through teller because everybody uses apps. It's all about the new technology."
Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg says Bradley Manning is ``one more casualty of a horrible, wrongful war'' and he did not deserve any prison time.
Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison Wednesday for giving troves of military and diplomatic secrets to WikiLeaks. Ellsberg told The Associated Press by telephone that Manning will always be an inspiration of civil and moral courage to truth tellers.
Health officials in Oklahoma say they're keeping a close eye on a measles outbreak in Texas.
There have been no reported cases of measles in Oklahoma. But state Department of Health Immunization Service Director Lori Linstead says there is concern because measles is very contagious and "spreads like wildfire."
The Mississippi state auditor says a former Oklahoma state senator has been arrested for embezzlement.
A news release from State Auditor Stacey Pickering's office says Jay Paul Gumm of Wiggins, Miss., was arrested last week for allegedly embezzling more than $24,000 from the Stone County Economic Development Partnership in Mississippi. Gumm is the former director of the partnership and is now free on $20,000 bond.
Pickering spokesman Brett Kittredge said Wednesday that Gumm is a former state senator from Durant, Okla.
The Southern Baptist Convention is America's largest non-Catholic denomination, with more than 15.8 million members in over 46,000 churches nationwide.
The new president of its Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission – the division tasked with addressing moral and religious freedom issues — is Russell Moore, a theologian from Louisville, Kentucky.
The Southern Baptist Convention has been criticized for its strictly conservative views.
The summer was tough on the Grand River Dam Authority's relationship with Gov. Mary Fallin.
It started when the GRDA announced plans earlier this year to spend almost $400 million to build a new natural gas power plant, and upgrade its newest coal-fired plant in compliance with new federal regulations.
Former Australian deputy prime minister Tim Fischer is urging Australian tourists to stay away from the U.S., following the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Christopher Lane, an Australian on a baseball scholarship at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma.
Fischer told the country's Herald-Sun newspaper that Australians should boycott the U.S. as a way to force Congress to act on gun control.
WBUR and NPR's Here and Now host Robin Young spoke with Claire Crouch, a reporter for KSWO, the ABC television affiliate in Lawton.
U.S. Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) says he's distressed what he calls a "senseless murder" was committed against a citizen of a country that's always been a, quote, "steadfast friend and ally of the United States."
"It is with sadness that I offer my sincere sympathy and send my prayers to the family and friends of Chris Lane as they grieve the loss of a loved individual," Cole said in a statement. "To our dear friends in Australia, I extend my profound apology for this senseless, brutal crime that sadly occurred in my state and district."

I (Sherry Boulton) took the rainbow pictures from the cross at Wickliffe overlooking the river just after the storm passed this evening. It was the first double rainbow I had ever seen. I loved seeing the rainbow under the Cross and I loved sharing this experience with my husband Jon. We actually drove out to Wickliffe so I could get pictures of the high water since I work at NewPage. I took the flood picture from the blue truck bridge that spans Hwy 51 South at NewPage. This is looking south towards the main entrance of the mill. It's hard to believe there is a road under there that I travel every day. I had not been to the mill since Monday and could not believe the difference. The rainbow was an unexpected bonus.

AUTHOR: Kulchera - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 24, 2011
Thank you for taking the time and effort to write such an insulting letter of defamation. If you would have left your name I could've thanked you personally (or maybe "Cora" from Vancouver) is your real name?
You sure seem to know
a lot about me even though I've never met anyone named "Cora" from
Vancouver (let alone anyone who would have such knowledge on my heritage or
Anthony Walsh).
So, I am assuming that
we have met but you're simply too cowardly to leave your own name on this post
because the majority of it is FALSE. Although one may see the internet as a
means of anonymity, it is not.
If you think you are
doing the world a service by dragging my name through the mud, then please do
so as I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And please be sure
to sign your full name if it's something you truly stand behind.
I can't control you or
what you do. You could be defaming me on the internet or in person and there is
nothing I could do about it. I have a strong feeling of who you might be but I
refuse to engage this drama. There's only one truth here.
Whoever wrote these
two postings is welcome to email me personally with any of these concerns. You
can find me on facebook, twitter, or linkedin. Now, here are some responses to
some of your 'observations';
Do I feel rightly
entitled (and honored) to be telling the Anthony Walsh story? YES,
legally and culturally.
Do I have a loving and
supportive family? YES! Does that exclude me from being a writer or a
Have the effects of
colonial, paternalistic, racist attitudes (and assimilation attempts) affected
my entire family to an extent? YES
Yes, my husband and I
are both descendants of the Okanagan Nation but I am also of Finnish and
British ancestry. Shall we get out a needle and start measuring the amount of
blood that comes from each?
There are so many
important stories to be told. This one is about Anthony Walsh and his legacy.
Okanagan Day School students in the area also play a role. The story of Mr.
Walsh and his students is a remarkable one, and one that I am doing my very
best to honor.
Furthermore, it is far
from a 'hard luck story' as your beautifully crafted 'post of negativity'
suggests. This is a story of triumph in the midst of a tragic era in Canadian
My research on Mr.
Walsh has taken me from Osoyoos to Victoria to Montreal, and I am now faced
with the daunting task of having to sum up a man of such courage and love.
You hear about people
being defamed and wrongfully accused; identity theft, fraud, etc, but you never
really understand how it feels until it happens to you.
So thank you for
leaving a permanent smear record on my name, you sure didn't hold back. But to
you I wish good luck, good fortune, and peace in your heart.
Mr. Walsh would expect
nothing less.

"An important place remains for what Secretary Goodwin has identified as the 'watchdog' and advocacy role of the Secretary in making sure that the [state board] remains publicly accountable and, crucially in a democracy, constantly if collegially questioned," the audit states. "While we recommend that the Legislature consolidate operational roles such as the conduct of professional development in WVDE, we also suggest that it expand the more general oversight and advocacy role of the executive branch through the Secretary of Education and the Arts.
Auditors expected that this recommendation, among others, would "undoubtedly engender heated debate amongst many in West Virginia."
Although auditors suggested Goodwin's expanded oversight role, they did not get specific.
Goodwin did not have much to say about her role in the education system's new direction.
"We don't have a role in the audit, really. The audit is about K-12 education, and that's about as much as I know about it," Goodwin said.
She and the governor's staff are "pleased that by the completion of the audit process, everyone will have a chance to hear suggestions and make suggestions for any changes that will make a difference in the expenditure of scarce funds," she said.
But, she said, it's most important that any necessary improvements will benefit students "from early childhood to elementary and high school, all the way to their post-secondary graduation ceremonies."
In its response to the audit last week, the state Board of Education agreed mostly with the recommendations concerning Education and the Arts' roles in professional development. The board said leadership in that area has become fragmented and cited "a substantial erosion of powers and responsibility vested in the BOE by the state constitution."
"Someone must assume the leadership role, own this issue and be accountable for the results," the board members said in their response. They believe the state Department of Education, with the board's oversight, should fulfill that role.
But to be successful, they said the Legislature "must be willing to vest in the Board the authority and resources that now are scattered throughout the system, and then work with the Board as it creates an effective professional development delivery system."
President Wade Linger will present the board's audit response to lawmakers Tuesday at the state Capitol.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- From noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, teen star Bella Thorne will participate in a free meet-and-greet at Charleston Town Center.
The 14-year-old actress/model/singer is better known as Cece on the Disney Channel show "Shake It Up!" The show centers on Thorne and the singular-named Zendaya as best friends Cece and Rocky, two Chicago teens who dance on a popular local show that's a sort of contemporary "American Bandstand."
Saturday's event takes place in Center Court and also features a performance by local teen dance group, the U-crew.
The first 300 people in line receive a free photo for Bella to autograph. She also will sign items brought by fans. However, she will only sign one photo or item per person.
The event ends promptly at 3 p.m., and the line will close before that to ensure Thorne's prompt departure. Fans who join the line after it officially closes will not be permitted to meet Thorne.
Cellphones and cameras are not permitted once people enter Center Court. Photos are only allowed to be taken while standing outside of Center Court or from within a secured viewing area in Center Court. No photos of fans posing with Thorne are permitted.
People who wish to see Thorne but don't want to participate in the meet-and-greet can stand in the secured viewing area while space is available. The section will be cordoned off when full, and as some guests leave, more will be able to enter.
For more information, call 304.345.9525 or visit www.charlestontowncenter.com.

Go Back
When ocean-clouds over inland hills Sweep storming in late autumn brown, And horror the sodden valley fills, And the spire falls crashing in the town, I muse upon my country's ills-- The tempest burning from the waste of Time On the world's fairest hope linked with man's foulest crime. Nature's dark side is heeded now-- (Ah! optimist-cheer dishartened flown)-- A child may read the moody brow Of yon black mountain lone. With shouts the torrents down the gorges go, And storms are formed behind the storms we feel: The hemlock shakes in the rafter, the oak in the driving keel.
I Where the wings of a sunny Dome expand I saw a Banner in gladsome air- Starry, like Berenice's Hair- Afloat in broadened bravery there; With undulating long-drawn flow, As rolled Brazilian billows go Voluminously o'er the Line. The Land reposed in peace below; The children in their glee Were folded to the exulting heart Of young Maternity. II Later, and it streamed in fight When tempest mingled with the fray, And over the spear-point of the shaft I saw the ambiguous lightning play. Valor with Valor strove, and died: Fierce was Despair, and cruel was Pride; And the lorn Mother speechless stood, Pale at the fury of her brood. III Yet later, and the silk did wind Her fair cold for; Little availed the shining shroud, Though ruddy in hue, to cheer or warm A watcher looked upon her low, and said- She sleeps, but sleeps, she is not dead. But in that sleep contortion showed The terror of the vision there- A silent vision unavowed, Revealing earth's foundation bare, And Gorgon in her hidden place. It was a thing of fear to see So foul a dream upon so fair a face, And the dreamer lying in that starry shroud. IV But from the trance she sudden broke- The trance, or death into promoted life; At her feet a shivered yoke, And in her aspect turned to heaven No trace of passion or of strife- A clear calm look. It spake of pain, But such as purifies from stain- Sharp pangs that never come again- And triumph repressed by knowledge meet, Power delicate, and hope grown wise, And youth matured for age's seat- Law on her brow and empire in her eyes. So she, with graver air and lifted flag; While the shadow, chased by light, Fled along the far-brawn height, And left her on the crag.
The grass shall never forget this grave. When homeward footing it in the sun After the weary ride by rail, The stripling soldiers passed her door, Wounded perchance, or wan and pale, She left her household work undone - Duly the wayside table spread, With evergreens shaded, to regale Each travel-spent and grateful one. So warm her heart, childless, unwed, Who like a mother comforted.
Once in English they said America. Was it English to them. Once they said Belgian. We like a fog. Do you for weather. Are we brave. Are we true. Have we the national colour. Can we stand ditches. Can we mean well. Do we talk together. Have we red cross. A great many people speak of feet. And socks.
O Pride of the days in prime of the months Now trebled in great renown, When before the ark of our holy cause Fell Dagon down- Dagon foredoomed, who, armed and targed, Never his impious heart enlarged Beyond that hour; God walled his power, And there the last invader charged. He charged, and in that charge condensed His all of hate and all of fire; He sought to blast us in his scorn, And wither us in his ire. Before him went the shriek of shells- Aerial screamings, taunts and yells; Then the three waves in flashed advance Surged, but were met, and back they set: Pride was repelled by sterner pride, And Right is a strong-hold yet. Before our lines it seemed a beach Which wild September gales have strown With havoc on wreck, and dashed therewith Pale crews unknown- Men, arms, and steeds. The evening sun Died on the face of each lifeless one, And died along the winding marge of fight And searching-parties lone. Sloped on the hill the mounds were green, Our centre held that place of graves, And some still hold it in their swoon, And over these a glory waves. The warrior-monument, crashed in fight, Shall soar transfigured in loftier light, A meaning ampler bear; Soldier and priest with hymn and prayer Have laid the stone, and every bone Shall rest in honor there.
"Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him" Shall hearts that beat no base retreat In youth's magnanimous years - Ignoble hold it, if discreet When interest tames to fears; Shall spirits that worship light Perfidious deem its sacred glow, Recant, and trudge where worldlings go, Conform and own them right? Shall Time with creeping influence cold Unnerve and cow? The heart Pine for the heartless ones enrolled With palterers of the mart? Shall faith abjure her skies, Or pale probation blench her down To shrink from Truth so still, so lone Mid loud gregarious lies? Each burning boat in Caesar's rear, Flames -No return through me! So put the torch to ties though dear, If ties but tempters be. Nor cringe if come the night: Walk through the cloud to meet the pall, Though light forsake thee, never fall From fealty to light.
Children of my happier prime, When One yet lived with me, and threw Her rainbow over life and time, Even Hope, my bride, and mother to you! O, nurtured in sweet pastoral air, And fed on flowers and light and dew Of morning meadows -spare, ah, spare Reproach; spare, and upbraid me not That, yielding scarce to reckless mood, But jealous of your future lot, I sealed you in a fate subdued. Have I not saved you from the dread Theft, and ignoring which need be The triumph of the insincere Unanimous Mediocrity? Rest, therefore, free from all despite, Snugged in the arms of comfortable night.
A Requiem Skimming lightly, wheeling still, The swallows fly low Over the fields in cloudy days, The forest-field of Shiloh - Over the field where April rain Solaced the parched ones stretched in pain Through the pause of night That followed the Sunday fight Around the church of Shiloh - The church, so lone, the log-built one, That echoed to many a parting groan And natural prayer Of dying foeman mingled there - Foeman at morn, but friends at eve - Fame or country least their care: (What like a bullet can undeceive!) But now they lie low, While over them the swallows skim, And all is hushed at Shiloh.
(November, 1863) A kindling impulse seized the host Inspired by heaven's elastic air; Their hearts outran their General's plan, Though Grant commanded there - Grant, who without reserve can dare; And, "Well, go on and do your will," He said, and measured the mountain then: So master-riders fling the rein - But you must know your men. On yester-morn in grayish mist, Armies like ghosts on hills had fought, And rolled from the cloud their thunders loud The Cumberlands far had caught: Today the sunlit steeps are sought. Grant stood on cliffs whence all was plain, And smoked as one who feels no cares; But mastered nervousness intense, Alone such calmness wears. The summit-cannon plunge their flame Sheer down the primal wall, But up and up each linking troop In stretching festoons crawl - Nor fire a shot. Such men appal The foe, though brave. He, from the brink, Looks far along the breadth of slope, And sees two miles of dark dots creep, And knows they mean the cope. He sees them creep. Yet here and there Half hid 'mid leafless groves they go; As men who ply through traceries high Of turreted marbles show - So dwindle these to eyes below. But fronting shot and flanking shell Sliver and rive the inwoven ways; High tops of oaks and high hearts fall, But never the climbing stays. Near and more near; till now the flags Run like a catching flame; And one flares highest, to peril nighest - He means to make a name: Salvos! they give him his fame. The staff is caught, and next the rush, And then the leap where death has led; Flag answered flag along the crest, And swarms of rebels fled. But some who gained the envied Alp, And -eager, ardent, earnest there - Dropped into Death's wide-open arms, Quelled on the wing like eagles struck in air - Forever they slumber young and fair, The smile upon them as they died; Their end attained, that end a height: Life was to these a dream fulfilled, And death a starry night.
Ye elms that wave on Malvern Hill In prime of morn and May, Recall ye how McClellan's men Here stood at bay? While deep within yon forest dim Our rigid comrades lay - Some with the cartridge in their mouth, Others with fixed arms lifted South - Invoking so The cypress glades? Ah wilds of woe! The spires of Richmond, late beheld Through rifts in musket-haze, Were closed from view in clouds of dust On leaf-walled ways, Where streamed our wagons in caravan; And the Seven Nights and Days Of march and fast, retreat and fight, Pinched our grimed faces to ghastly plight - Does the elm wood Recall the haggard beards of blood? The battle-smoked flag, with stars eclipsed, We followed (it never fell!) - In silence husbanded our strength - Received their yell; Till on this slope we patient turned With cannon ordered well; Reverse we proved was not defeat; But ah, the sod what thousands meet! - Does Malvern Wood Bethink itself, and muse and brood? We elms of Malvern Hill Remember every thing; But sap the twig will fill: Wag the world how it will, Leaves must be green in Spring.

4MATIC 4dr 3.0L CDI
Starting at | Starting at 18 MPG City - 24 MPG Highway
The 2008 GL-Class is the large basketball-team-sized SUV in the Mercedes-Benz stable, making M-B a serious contender in the full-size luxury sport utility segment. The GL320 CDI has a state-of-the-art diesel engine. Besides offering enormous reserves of torque and making the GL320 CDI one of the only seven-passenger SUVs that can boast a highway fuel economy rating of 24 mpg, it is quiet, doesn't smell, and satisfies emissions requirements. The GL450 V8 is also a remarkable vehicle for family hauling adventures, with loads of luxury features and room, as well as 335 horsepower. But if even that's not enough, the GL550 kicks out 382 horses to drive its massive 21-inch aluminum wheels, and most of the goodies that are optional on the lesser GL-Class are standard on the GL550.
New for 2008, the GL550 adds Mercedes-Benz' impressive 5.5L V8 engine to the GL-Class. These vehicles are built alongside--and share many parts with--the M and R-Classes. Due in part to its unibody construction, the GL-Class offers nearly the same agility as smaller SUVs, only it carries a gigantic 83.3 cubic feet of cargo space. All models feature automatic four-wheel-drive and a smooth seven-speed automatic transmission.
For 2007, Mercedes-Benz rounded out their family-oriented array by introducing the seven-seat GL-Class, and for 2008 the manufacturer adds the higher-performance GL550 to the lineup, with its 5.5L V8 and 21-inch wheels.

The Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned Program - Click here to learn more
The secret of why our cars hold their values: passion never ages. Owning a Porsche should be a very special experience. That's why, when you buy a Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, we do everything we can to ensure it's really as good as it looks. Porsche Approved is a grade given to pre-owned Porsche vehicles which meet the high quality standards of the Porsche brand.
What distinguishes a Porsche Approved certified vehicle from a conventional pre-owned vehicle?
- Porsche Approved vehicles are inspected by factory trained technicians who conduct a mechanical and cosmetic 100+ point inspection.
- Repairs are carried out in line with the strict Porsche quality criteria.
- The Porsche Approved Certified Preowned Program comprises two distinct limited warranty coverages.
1) The limited warranty covers up to 6 years or a cumulative 100,000 miles/160,000 kilometers, whichever comes first if the vehicle is still under the new car limited warranty.
2) The limited warranty covers 2 years from the date of sale, up to a cumulative 100,000 miles/ 160,000 kilometers from the current mileage on the odometer at the time of purchase.
- Porsche Roadside Assistance, the exclusive support service that offers added security.
Since 2000, IntelliChoice.com has evaluated and selected the best Certified Pre-Owned warranty program as part of its Best Certified Pre-Owned Awards. The evaluation considers all aspects of a CPO warranty, including the amount of benefits beyond the new car warranty, total amount of warranty, deductibles, areas covered, and at what point the warranty begins. For 2009, the luxury class winner of this year's award is Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles.

Snooty Fox is great for several reasons. Firstly, the location downtown is good in the summer months as it is close to Officer's Square and the Lighthouse on the Green - areas where both locals and tourists tend to flock. The pub grub here is better than average, (especially the boneless wings) and the atmosphere is cozy. The beer selection is fairly standard, though local Picaroons does make a beer specially for the pub. As a local student, this is often a place I find myself during the week or weekend because it has everything I could ask for for a good price. I can't say anything about the rooftop dining, though I've heard it's nice and scenic in the summer. Cons of this restaurant would be that parking is limited to parking on the road or parking in one of the parking lots downtown (which are free after 5 and on weekends) and walking, and that it can get quite busy at certain times and the area to wait in is tiny. Other than that, a great place to eat and have a few beer!

One of the better pub-atmosphere bars in Fredericton. Nice atmosphere, with lots of booths and dim-lighting, and an area in back with plenty of tables and a fireplace for winter. During the summer they have a rooftop deck as well.
Beer selection is quite good for Fredericton. They have more taps than any other place in town, and while they mostly carry the usual suspects, they do a good job of supporting Picaroon's beers (the only brewery in Fredericton). Food and service are usually quite good as well, so overall it's one of the better drinking establishments available to anyone living in Freddy Beach.

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Thomas Kennerly Wolfe, Jr., was born on March 2, 1931, in Richmond, Virginia, to businessman and scientist Thomas Kennerly and Helen (Hughes) Wolfe. Wolfe graduated cum laude from Washington and Lee University in 1951 and went on to earn a Ph.D. in American studies from Yale University in 1957. From 1956 until 1959, he was a reporter for The Union in Springfield, Massachusetts, then worked at The Washington Post from 1959 to 1962. During the 1960's, he began to chronicle the foibles of his generation in a breathless, exciting style that was exuberant and distinctively his own, working as contributing editor for two major magazines: New York and Esquire.
In 1978, he married Sheila Berger, the art director of Harper's magazine, where he has also worked as a contributing artist. His drawings and caricatures, some of which are reproduced in his first collection of essays, have been exhibited. Wolfe studied creative writing at Washington and Lee (a classmate has remembered Wolfe's then preference for writing baseball stories and a fascination with Gray's Anatomy) before turning to American studies at Yale.
Wolfe's involvement with New Journalism began in 1963, after he had been assigned to write a newspaper story on the Hot Rod and Custom Car Show at the coliseum in New York....

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Wolfe revitalized American journalism with his first collections of essays. With Bonfire of the Vanities, A Man in Full, and I Am Charlotte Simmons, he has attempted to reform postmodern fiction by imitating the nineteenth century realist masters in a manner that has more in common with eighteenth century satire. Like his earlier essays, Wolfe's first novel is fascinated with what he has called "status details," but the result of accumulating such details in a "realistic" setting is finally a novelistic comedy of manners pushed to the threshold of bitter satire. Though skilled as a storyteller, Wolfe's major contribution to American letters is that of a supreme stylist and satirist. After the publication of A Man in Full, he engaged in a spirited, and sometimes acrimonious, literary debate with several of America's most prestigious novelists. Undeterred by their reputations, Wolfe attacked—as he saw it—the vapidity of their minimalist fiction.
Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, Thomas Kennerly Wolfe, Jr., enjoyed a childhood that exposed him to the world of the arts, especially literature. After graduating from Washington and Lee University, he enrolled at Yale University, where he majored in American studies. Before completing his dissertation but after finishing his course work, he left Yale to work at the Springfield Union newspaper, where he began as a city hall reporter. He received his doctorate from Yale in 1957.
In 1959 Wolfe took a position with The Washington Post, and then, in 1962, joined one of the most literate and well-written newspapers in the nation, the New York Herald-Tribune, as a staff writer for its Sunday magazine supplement. Wolfe quickly established a reputation as one of the paper's finest reporters, with a style that was innovative, energetic, and unique. In 1965 Wolfe angered the literary establishment with a scathing, accurate, and enormously funny dissection of the sacrosanct New Yorker magazine.
During these years Wolfe, along with such writers as Norman Mailer, Truman Capote, and Hunter S. Thompson, was establishing what would become known as New Journalism, a genre that blurred or even erased the boundaries between the reporter and the story, and that reveled in subjective and highly idiosyncratic styles. Wolfe's The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (1965), a collection of...

Biography (Identities & Issues in Literature)
Tom Wolfe is famous for his incisive portrayals of society and subcultures in New York and California. One reason for this may be that he is an outsider to both places. His Southern background affords him the detached perspective from which he ironically views, for example, the incongruous spectacle of New York's upper crust entertaining Black Panther revolutionaries. He has also described the attempts of young surfers to live a Peter Pan existence in California in The Pump House Gang. His background also has provided him with a love for and proficiency in recording the rhythms of spoken and written language, which result in his unmistakable style.
Wolfe's career as a writer has been a constant redefining and refining of identities. Before completing a doctorate in American Studies from Yale University, he spent a short time experiencing working-class life by loading trucks. He then eschewed the expected academic career path to become a journalist for a series of newspapers in Springfield, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., and New York City.
The restrictions of conventional journalism, however, did not appeal to him, and in the early 1960's he, under the initial influence of New York Times writer Gay Talese, applied the techniques of fiction to traditional reporting to create the hybrid form that was soon labeled new...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Thomas Kennerly Wolfe, Jr., is a prominent and popular writer of fiction and social commentary. He was born in Richmond, Virginia, on March 2, 1931, the son of Thomas Kennerly and Helen (Hughes) Wolfe. He received a bachelor's degree from Washington and Lee University (1951) and a Ph.D. in American studies from Yale University (1957). In 1978 he married Sheila Berger, art director of Harper's Magazine. While Wolfe was establishing himself as a writer of satirical essays on contemporary American culture, he worked as a reporter for various newspapers and magazines, beginning in the late 1950's with the Springfield Union and continuing in the 1960's with The Washington Post, New York Herald Tribune, New York Sunday magazine, and New York World Journal Tribune. Wolfe has served as a contributing editor for New York and Esquire magazines and contributing artist for Harper's Magazine. As an artist, he has exhibited in one-man shows and illustrated many of his own works.
With the exception of an occasional short story, Wolfe wrote no fiction until The Bonfire of the Vanities. Until then, he was known for his witty and incisive social commentaries, written in a style characterized as "new journalism," a term associated with Wolfe since the publication in Esquire of "The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby." New journalism is a blend of journalistic objectivity and fictional subjectivity, written in a colloquial style, often with the reporter intruding into the narrative. The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby,...

CAIRO (AP) — They showed a military-style precision: Crowds of bearded Islamists proclaiming allegiance to Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi and chanting ''God is great'' as they descended on tents set up by anti-Morsi protesters outside the presidential palace, swinging clubs, firing rifles and calling for burning down the opposition. They set up a detention facility, interrogating and beating captured protesters.
The scene from bloody clashes outside the presidential palace a week ago hangs over Egypt's political crisis as a daunting sign of how much more violent the confrontation could become between Morsi's Islamist supporters and the opposition that has launched a giant wave of protests against him.
Opponents of Morsi accuse his Muslim Brotherhood supporters of unleashing highly trained cadres — fired up with religious slogans — to crush their political rivals. They fear last week's violence was a signal that the Brotherhood will use force to push its agenda and defend its political gains in the face of a persistent protest movement demanding that Morsi withdraw a draft constitution largely written by his Islamist allies.
Ahead of new mass rallies by both sides Tuesday, masked gunmen attacked anti-Morsi protesters in Cairo's central Tahrir Square before dawn, firing birdshot at them and wounding nine. It was unclear who was behind the attack, said security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.
Officials from the Brotherhood and its political party deny using violence to quell critics. Regarding the clashes last Wednesday, the worst violence yet in the crisis, they say Morsi supporters were defending the palace and accuse the protesters of starting the battles. They claim their side suffered more deaths and injuries during the clashes, which left at least eight people dead. More broadly, the Brotherhood accuses former regime supporters of paying thugs in an organized campaign to topple Islamists from power, pointing to a series of attacks on Brotherhood offices the past weeks.
''The group and the party don't use violence and have no inclination to the use of violence,'' said Mourad Aly, a Brotherhood party spokesman. He added, ''We will never allow an attack or breach on the palace.''
However, when last week's violence began, the only protesters outside the palace were several dozen people conducting a sit-in in the tents, and the allegiances of those killed remain controversial. Opponents and rights lawyers charge that the Brotherhood has tried to persuade some families to declare their deceased sons as Brotherhood.
Testimonies and videos that have emerged from the nearly 15 hours of street clashes show an organized group of disciplined Islamists, working in units and carrying out military-type exercises as they broke up the tent sit-in at the palace.
In one video posted online, thousands of Islamists lined up on a main boulevard near the palace, chanting ''Power, Resolve, Faith, Morsi's men are everywhere,'' and chanting calls of burning down the opposition — then they assaulted the camp.
The exact circumstances of the online videos could not be independently confirmed, but their contents were consistent with Associated Press reporting.
Opponents of the Brotherhood frequently accuse the group of running a ''militia.'' The group is known for its tight discipline, and it acknowledges that many of its young members undergo organized martial arts training — but it vehemently denies forming any militias.
Tharwat el-Kherbawy, a former Brotherhood member and now an opponent of the group, said the Brotherhood's central organizational doctrine — calling on members to ''hear and obey'' their leaders — gives it a military-like structure.
When the Brotherhood met a stronger than expected protest movement, ''they had no hesitation in hastening to implement their ideas and resorting to violence,'' he said. ''If their empowerment project is facing resistance, this resistance must be quelled.''
The Dec. 5 showdown was the fiercest display of the Brotherhood's strength, but similar, smaller attacks on opponents by Brotherhood members took place at least three times earlier this year when secular and liberal groups criticized the Brotherhood's grip on power.
During last Wednesday's fighting, nearly 140 anti-Morsi protesters were tortured and interrogated at a makeshift detention center set up by the Brotherhood along the walls of the presidential palace, according to witnesses. The detained protesters were filmed making forced confessions that they had received foreign funds, according to some who were held and an Egyptian journalist who snuck into the site.Continued...

Wow, another milestone has arrived! : ) For most GBs (8M plus) they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But, even clicking on news article links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Smartphones and tablets really help GasBuddies to post everyday! Keep going like a PRO Tacoma GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! YB Ron
