Since I moved (2+ yrs ago) I've been going to a small local place for my nails. It's an asian girl and her father and there's only 2 pedi chairs and 2 mani chairs in the place. They are super sweet and do a really good job. I don't go often because I really enjoy doing my own nails, but I go for special occasions or if I don't have time. When I was pregnant I got regular pedicures and have had two since. I usually cut my own nails, so all they really have to do is clean them up and paint them, but when I was pregnant, they cut my nails (I couldn't reach! LOL) I always cut my nails (fingers and toes) straight across but they cut down the sides as well. Now i'm noticing my nails grow differently. I don't have any ingrown nails or anything, but I don't like the way it looks. I thought it was a big no-no to cut down the sides...? I am considering going somewhere else now, but I feel bad.
How do you (or your pedi person) cut your toenails?
mego1988:I honestly would go somewhere else. It's a huge no no to cut toenails down the sides. Fingernails are fine that way but with toenails it can cause ingrown if you aren't careful. To fix it, try to let them grow out some and then cut them straight across or have another place cut them straight across.
This! I would never let anyone cut down the sides. I go to the same person for pedicures and she has never done that.

I was so excited to find this item for my son's pirate party! It's exactly what I hoped and looks even better in person. Quality is as expected - thin fabric, but just fine for the price.

French Candle, Green Tea 1 1
Love This Candle! This candle was given to me as a gift! I absolutely love it! The scent is so nice! Exotic, clean, refreshing! My candle is almost gone so I have come to the World Market website so that I can buy some more! I will probably stock up! The candle I have has lasted a long time but I'm going to buy enough so that I will have some on hand for a while! Well worth the money! March 17, 2012

After 15 years, it's almost here - We're going back to WDW!! (May PTR)
This is my first PTR and not because I have never felt compelled to write, but because this will be my first trip to Disney in a very long time. I'm not sure I had a computer the last time I went to Disney, actually not sure Al Gore had invented the internet yet ,lol .
In a few weeks, I will celebrate my 50th birthday. It's amazing how the years pass with record speed and then, all of a sudden, you look back thinking of all the things you said you would do - and never did. For me, returning to Disney was one of those things.
I have been to WDW twice. Once when I was 19 with a group of friends and the second time with my DH for a belated honeymoon just a few years after we were married. We stayed at POFQ - it was pretty new then and was a value resort.
I don't know why it has been so long between visits, I just know it's very easy to say, "next year". Work, family and life in general make it easy to make excuses for passing on vacations. This year will be different.
Let me introduce us:
Fairyfan (me) - I have loved fairies (tinkerbell is my fave) since I was a child - thus the lack of creativity in my name. I work as a systems analyst (and work alot ) and I'll also blame my lack of creativity on my analytical nature. I am a planner and my first purchase post ressie was a Passporter. I have since organized it and put tabs on the pages. I have convinced myself, I cannot live without it. My favorite part of Disney - the castle - and because I am a girl!
My DH (lets call him Steely) - he is a wonderful guy who puts up with my long work hours and tolerates my planning and time on these boards. His perfect vacation - driving to Latrobe, PA and watching Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. He is a huge fan who is still reeling from their sixth Super Bowl win. His favs at Disney include Epcot and the food (can't blame him).
We both love and dearly remember the fireworks at the MK and Illuminations.
I apologize in advance, but currently have no recent (and by recent, I mean last 10 years) pictures of us. I lost all of the pictures on a computer that passed away a couple of years ago and haven't taken any since. I will remedy that soon if not while on the trip. In the meantime, here is one of our "babies". Her name is Lily and she is a rescue and a blessing. She is a papillion of sorts. Her butterfly ears do not stand up. I am told that makes her a Phalene (night moth) instead of butterfly. She is the sweetest!
We are traveling May 16-23 and staying at the Contemporary. I still really can't believe it. I never thought I would be staying at CR, but with the much advertised 4/3 deal, I could'nt pass up the upgrade! I look at the CR website daily and browse the pictures. I have to reel myself in and remember that there is much planning to be done.

Two weeks after my reservation it was time to make ADR's. I searched and read every menu before making my decisions.
I have to say, these boards are a great resource to find the great, good, bad and ugly about WDW food. Between the boards, the DIS chat and the menus posted all over the internet, you can be assured that in Disney, there is something for everyone.
I pretty much made these decisions on my own. My DH, bless his heart, just says, "pick something I would like". Not difficult - if the meal does'nt involve liver or brussel sprouts, he's in. I'm a different story. I don't like fish, eggs - boiled, fried, poached and the list goes on....
After alot of reading, here are our ADR's:
GF Cafe
Biergarten we have been here before and loved it
Raglan Road
Plaza - wanted a night with a sandwich and banana split to share!
Le Cellier - of course
Boma - heard this is the best breakfast buffet on the chat!
Kona - Tonga toast, can't wait to meet you
GF cafe
The Wave
Lunch will be CS of choice
Some of the CS items I want to try- Grey Goose slushy, school bread, pretzel, Grand Marnier slushy, Dole Whip float, Mickey Bar.
I'm very happy to say that I got everyone of them and for the times I wanted +- 15 minutes I called the morning of my 90th day
I'm thinking that may be because we are going in May and possibly things are slower then.
I'm really excited about each choice and I know my DH will love them. I only wish I had more days. I would love to go to HDDR for dinner, Jiko and CP but I waited to long for those
Next up - If you live near a regional airport, do you need a second mortgage to fly to Disney?

So, I'm gambling with the airlines. DH and I really want to fly to Disney. It's an 8-9 hr drive to Orlando and we would much rather fly and be there then spend the better part of two days driving.
Problem - I live 10 minutes from a regional airport, and 2+ hours from a major airport. I don't know what it is with the airlines, but they think a second mortgage is in order to fly from regional airports.
We have no nonstop flights to Orlando, but come on - who thinks 450.00 a ticket isn't just ridiculous. I mean, you check the availabile seats and it appears they have sold all of about 3-5 tickets on the commuter flight and about 10 tickets on the 757 connection to Orlando. Those seats are probably booked on FF miles. If you want to sell tickets, be reasonable about it.
So, every morning I get up and power up the pc in hopes of a deal. We all know how this works, every once in awhile, they will lower the prices on seats and after a certain number of seats are sold at that price, they raise the price on the same seats that were much cheaper only moments before. I start to get nervous when I think how time is ticking away, but am hopefully optimistic that I will win this battle.
Today,they dropped the 6:00 am flights down to 169.00 rt - now we're talking. They must have heard my rant. Sure.
Will I book it or continue to gamble? I'm on the fence right now. I have a backup plan and that's the major airport a little over 2 hours away and booking a ticket on SW. Seems they understand reason. I'm guessing that's why they seem to be so fiscally stable.
Gotta go crunch the numbers...
Next up - to chat or not to chat and will I buy the tickets!

At first the whole plane ticket lottery seemed like fun, - gambling on whether you will get the cheap tickets or not. Unfortunately, it gets too frustrating too quickly. I finally gave up on flying on a major airline and using the ME to Disney and booked two tickets on Allegiant. They have just a couple of flights a week, but the price is right. No Magical Express - you fly into Sanford Airport about 50 miles from WDW. The price is really good though and I have read alot of good things about Allegiant. Also leaves enough money to rent a car for the week as well.
It's a non stop flight (big plus) and the car will be nice. I want to check out several of the resorts and maybe hit the outlet malls one day, so the car will make that easy.
Because they only fly on Mondays and Fridays, I had to change my reservation. No more Contemporary for us - it was sold out. I was still able to get the 4/3 deal but had to change to AKL savannah view. Not a bad change.
The funny part of it all is when I told my DH, he was very excited. He had wanted to stay at AKL all along, but didn't want to tell me. He wanted me to pick the resort of my choice. Sometimes things work out the way the are supposed to, I guess.
As a reward for ending my transportation stress, I treated myself to this bag for the parks with a Macy's gift card I had from Christmas.
It's a small crossbody bag, but holds alot more than I thought. I like the zippered compartments to hold my little canon powershot camera and KTTW card, etc.
I have a black quilted messenger bag that I got from a Gap outlet store before Christmas for $9.00 I'll take too. It's much bigger in case I need to carry more stuff. Really nice for the price.
Things are coming together. My siggie shows 2 mos and 5 days until we head to Disney - it's really 2 months and 4 days. I need to change it since I have changed my reservation. It seems like alot of time, but I'm sure it will go by quickly.
Several more things to get and park planning to do.
I'm no Disney expert at all. To cure my lack of knowledge, I headed to the DIS chat. I have to say, I've learned alot and had some great laughs as well. The "DISchatters" are the nicest group of people. Some have been to WDW many times and some are just like me. All are welcoming and I am so glad I decided to get my nerve up to join in! If you ever have a question, these are the folks to ask!

Here is our oldest baby. She hates getting her picture taken, which helps cause the blurry image. You would think she was a prissy little girl as tiny as she is, but she is a tough one. Her favorite thing other than the red ball is rolling in the dirt!

Hey FairyFan, Just wanted you to know, I am on board and will be reading all about your pretrip report from now until you head out to WDW. I would say I was envious of you getting to stay at the Contemporay, but since I have never even been to WDW...I don't know what I am missing....LOL OK, I'll go ahead and admit it, I am a bit......the monorail running right through it, walking distance to the park, reading that it is DELUXE, knowing you can "drool" through the windows of the TS right there in your own resort...OH wait, that last one doesn't count, I saw where you were on a good DP and already made ressies!! Unlike some of "US"!! LOL Also a good thing that there aren't any PICKY eaters in my crew......well there probably is, but they will survive!!
DisChat really is fun and for somebody like myself that has never been to the World, there really isn't a better place to learn about it!! Plus all the laughs that are FREE, being cheap, I LOVE FREE stuff!!!
I should have known your pretrippie would also include a section on BAGS...I was so glad when wigd. got past that part on her pretrip report!! I guess the man in me just doesn't get it?? LOL
Well, we are heading out for our trip, but know once we return, I will be keeping up with yours!! I'm signed up and on board and looking forward to your future post!!

So the milestone birthday is only days away and I had to make the visit to the DMV. Not my favorite place and I have never figured out why the folks that work there are so angry all of the time.
For whatever reason, I get sooo nervous when I go there. I wonder if I will pass the eye exam or draw a complete blank when I take the road sign test.
This year was no different. I walk in and take my number and start reviewing the road signs while I wait. They call my number and I politely take my seat at station number 1. They ask for my drivers license and I get my wallet out and low and behold, it's not there. I break into a sweat , searching through my purse - no license . Completely mortified, I tell the woman, "I can't find it". If looks could kill - you know the rest. I show her my picture ID from work and she tells me that's not an acceptable form of ID (guessing I should tell my employer no need to be attached to that badge anymore) and she asks for my social security card. Now I have read all about identity theft and have heeded the warnings not to carry that in my purse. I offer her the number and of course that's a no. Now she wants to see my paycheck stub. Darn good thing I just got paid. She looks at it and looks at me and asks "wheres your social security number on it?" Of course, it's not on my stub. Things are going from bad to worse.
Finally, after getting my vehicle registration, my checkbook and and doing some convincing, I walked out with my Driver's license. WHEW! Now I need a Grey Goose Slushie - too bad I have to wait till May to get one!
And that was my Friday!
Lesson for all - Make sure you know where your license is before you go to renew it - -age does not automatically bring wisdom!!

Well FF, first Happy Birthday!! Ah the joys of the DMV!! I have a story or two about them as well, they are always so much FUN to spend time with!! It was was also sort of funny when I read about your license not being where it was suppose to be. Just today, I went to unload one the last loads of laundry to find Tracy's laying there in the dryer. I called her, thinking I hope she doesn't get pulled over on her way to the office or back. When I told her I had found it, she first asked where, then went on to explain that she hadn't seen it since Wed. so she had already gotten a replacement since we were headed to WDW. I guess the funniest thing about it all.........IS, we men just put a few things in our pockets, it's much easier to keep up with it that way.......while you women, buy them fancy BAGS ( or "purses" to keep myself out of trouble...LOL ) and y'all still can't ever find what you are looking for when you need it!!!!! Just Saying!!! LOL Goodness how many times has by bride had me looking EVERYWHERE for an item that has fallen to the bottom of her "suitcase", I mean purse!! LOL
I know we have had fun discussing my choice of Dining and though there is really some AWESOME advice to be learned here at the DIS, I really do feel good about our choice for this first trip down. One of the best parts for me, will be NOT having to be anywhere at a certain time for any reason!! WHOO HOO, I am ON VACATION and look, I"m going to DISNEY WORLD!! YIPPEE!!!
I'll catch up with you when we return.......here's hoping next week DRAGGGGS, time wise anyway!!!

I just hate the DMV too, when I turned 40 I needed to go and didn't, ended up not getting that license renewed for a few years When I finally went , I took some friends for support (to help me cheat on the written test) and then had to take a driving test too

I just found your PTR and got caught up.
First, Happy Birthday. I am just a short three years behind you and I know what you mean...time just slips past.
We will be there the same time that you are, from what I read. The last time we visited in May it was quite hot, but not too bad, which is nice.
I did this when I read about your DH's perfect vacation. My DH was born in PA, went to school in Latrobe. So does your DH correct people and tell them that it is pronouced Lay-trobe when when they say La-trobe? OMG, I laugh when he does this but he is very proud of his Steelers, their training camp and the fact that he can go back any time he wants because his family is there.
I am with your DH...love AKL and would prefer it over the Contempo. We stayed at the Contempo once and I just didn't feel like I was at Disney. Maybe I would have if we had a MK view. We stayed at AKL last September and had a Savannah view. It was so nice. Only bad thing was by the 7th day the walk was killing us back to our rooms. I think that you will really enjoy it. Don't forget to go to the Mara (or Boma) and have some zebra domes. I say some because they are like potato chips....can't have just one.
OMG on the driver's license. I am so bad about putting my license where it belongs and 9 out 10 times, I can't find it when I need it.
Can't wait to hear more!!!! We arrive on 5/23 and check out on 5/26. Staying at Pop this time. Could not pass up the bargain.....$64 a night!

PKP Bugzilla – Bug 5912
Monograph value object contains references to DAOs
Last modified: 2010-11-02 15:40:56 PDT
The signoff-related accessors in the Monograph object instantiate DAOs and access data in the database. We usually implement application objects as simple value objects and let them be populated by the DAO. So usually the DAOs populate the application objects while the application objects remain unaware of the DAO. (See the classical GoF DAO pattern).
If these fields have an important performance impact when populated or cannot be populated in all circumstances then we usually design subclasses with these accessors to be used when use-cases require the extra fields while leaving the base Monograph class alone, see the many Submission derivatives for examples.
What are the reasons for parting from the DAO pattern in Monograph?
Same for getAuthors() and getPrimaryAuthor().
Please also see #5913 for the author accessors.
These are convenience functions, there mostly because authors used to be stored in the Monograph object as an array, but are now handled completely in the AuthorDAO (though there was really no reason to maintain backwards-compatibility there, since there is no backwards in OMP). I'm tempted to keep these methods in the Article and Paper classes to maintain backwards-compatibility though. Lets close this bug and continue any discussion in bug 5231.
Thanks Matt, that makes sense to me. And yes, agreed, we can discuss that in 5231.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 5231 ***

Like all Americans, we on Long Island just can't seem to get enough of the ground beef patty in all sizes and quality. A raft of local burger spots have opened in the last year but the classic burgers, and the best, endure.
Long Islanders Voted All-American Drive-In In Massapequa The Best Burger On Long Island!
All American Drive-In

In a category that could rightly be divided into 10 sub-categories, the nostalgic voters make the cool throwback, the Double Double burger, a favorite against national chains and other local heroes. Maybe they're rebelling against the emergence of the burger as haute cuisine. After all, doesn't a burger taste better served from a stand, wrapped in paper and gobbled while leaning on the hood of a car?
2nd Place – Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Multiple locations. www.fiveguys.com
A major chain throughout New York and Long Island, Five Guys Burgers and Fries is one of the best places you can go for a hamburger. You get to choose what toppings you can get for your regular double patty burger or "little" single patty burger. Each hamburger is cooked with top quality meat and is extremely satisfying.

Dissecting the Cause of Death in the Gulf
Warning: what follows isn't exactly light reading.
The New York Times reported yesterday on the complicated task of performing necropsies -- i.e., animal autopsies -- on sea turtles and other creatures that have been found dead in the Gulf of Mexico since the spill started.
It's not easy to determine the cause of death of these creatures. Of the 1,978 birds, 463 turtles and 59 marine mammals found dead in the Gulf since April 20th, few show visible signs of oil contamination.
And in the case of sea turtles, a more familiar culprit may be at fault: shrimp trawls and other commercial fishing gear that scoop up turtles as bycatch and prevent them from going to the surface to breathe.
Here's a simplified breakdown of how the veterinary investigators begin to determine the cause of death:

Oil Spill Quote of the Day
From yesterday's Washington Post:
"This economy survives off of seafood and the oil rigs," said Dusty Goforth, 57, of Slidell, La. …"Right now, they've got all of that shut down. It's destroyed the economy down here."
"We go through hurricanes every year. At least a hurricane might wipe out a few things, but at least you can rebuild it. This is gonna be there forever, for years to come." said Louisiana resident Aaron Terrebonne.
Oil Spill Quote of the Day
From NBC yesterday:
"My first impression is the vastness of the problem," [Atlanta Falcons fullback Ovie] Mughelli said [during a recent trip to the Gulf with other professional and Olympic athletes]. "It doesn't look small on TV by any means, but it seems like you can contain it ... and that's not the case at all. Especially when you come out here and look at it and see the oil on the Gulf and see the marsh being eroded and see the birds with black underbellies, you realize it's a lot worse than you think it is."

New Drilling Moratorium is a Good Start
Yesterday the Obama administration issued a new moratorium on deep-water offshore drilling through Nov. 30 in order to ensure that oil and gas companies implement safety measures to reduce risks.
Oceana's senior campaign director Jackie Savitz commended the president for the decision in an AP article, and had this to say about it:
"The Administration has no choice but to put a hold on offshore drilling. New drilling poses major risks, which we simply can not take, especially while thousands of victims of the ongoing drilling disaster continue to wait for an end to this oil and gas nightmare.

'Daddy's Home' Characters Helps Out in the Gulf
This week, the characters from the syndicated comic strip, "Daddy's Home" are spending their summer vacation volunteering to help with the oil spill clean-up in the Gulf of Mexico.
Each day this week the strip's authors, Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein, suggest a different organization's website for guidance on how to help. Today, Oceana is featured!
Be sure to check out the rest of the week's strips; they add a bit of much-needed levity to a seemingly endless disaster.

Adrian Grenier Joins Oceana to Protect Bluefin Tuna
Last week Oceana launched a new bluefin tuna PSA campaign featuring "Entourage" star Adrian Grenier. In March, Grenier joined Oceana to swim with the endangered fish and help get the word out that they are "going fast" -- literally and figuratively.
Bluefin can grow to 15 feet in length, weigh up to 1500 pounds and can swim at speeds of more than 50 miles per hour. They are on the verge of extinction as a result of overfishing, and the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico further threatens their survival.
The Gulf is the only place where the Western population of Atlantic bluefin tuna reproduces. After the spawning season (April to June), baby tuna continue to swim through the Gulf region where they can accumulate toxins in their gills from the oil itself and from the chemical dispersants.
"I hope that my involvement will bring attention to what is going on in the bluefin fishery," Grenier said. "I want these PSAs to encourage people to get involved and help Oceana save these amazing creatures."
Watch the PSA and get involved with Adrian and Oceana to protect bluefin!

"People's outrage is focused on BP," [Anthony] Leiserowitz said. The spill "hasn't been automatically connected to some sense that there's something more fundamental wrong with our relationship with the natural world," he said.

From CNN today:
Oysterman Vlaho Mjehovich said the damage to the local waters has long-term repercussions.
"I've seen areas go for 10 years without oysters coming back. This is not going to be done and fixed overnight. People have to understand, this will take years to come back," he said. "What do you do? I had a business. Now, I don't have a business. My business was taken from me overnight. I have to go look for a job now."

Louisiana Passes Clean Energy Resolution
Rachel Guillory is Oceana's Campaign Organizer in the Gulf region. She sent us this dispatch.
Last month, a number of Louisiana organizations hosted a two-day rally at the State Capitol in Baton Rouge. The rally, called "Love Your Coast", was the collaborative effort of a handful of local student organizations and environmental groups.
One of the goals of this rally was to pass a resolution through the state legislature, which was drafted by Devin Martin and Darrell Hunt of the Sierra Club Delta Chapter. The resolution asks our political leaders to:
-Urge all state and federal authorities to commit all resources to stopping the leak, and protecting, cleaning, and restoring our shores;
-Urge the state to use all legal means to get all affected individuals and businesses swiftly and justly compensated;
-Present a strategy for the prevention of another drilling disaster and it's economic consequences by prioritizing economic diversification, clean energy development, and safer and more environmentally stringent drilling regulations.

Severe Beijing Smog Prompts Unusual Transparency
By GILLIAN WONG and CHRISTOPHER BODEEN
BEIJING (AP) â¿¿ One of Beijing's worst rounds of air pollution kept schoolchildren indoors and sent coughing residents to hospitals, but this time something was different about the murky haze: the government's transparency in talking about it.
While welcomed by residents and environmentalists, Beijing's new openness about smog also put more pressure on the government to address underlying causes, including a lag in efforts to expand Western-style emissions limits to all of the vehicles in Beijing's notoriously thick traffic.
"Really awful. Extremely awful," Beijing office worker Cindy Lu said of Monday's haze as she walked along a downtown sidewalk. But she added: "Now that we have better information, we know how bad things really are and can protect ourselves and decide whether we want to go out.""Before, you just saw the air was bad but didn't know how bad it really was," she said. Even state-run media gave the smog remarkably critical and prominent play. "More suffocating than the haze is the weakness in response," read the headline of a front-page commentary by the Communist Party-run China Youth Daily. Government officials â¿¿ who have played down past periods of heavy smog â¿¿ held news conferences and posted messages on microblogs discussing the pollution. The wave of pollution peaked Saturday with off-the-charts levels that shrouded Beijing's skyscrapers in thick gray haze. Expected to last through Tuesday, it was the severest smog since the government began releasing figures on PM2.5 particles â¿¿ among the worst pollutants â¿¿ early last year in response to a public outcry. A growing Chinese middle class has become increasingly vocal about the quality of the environment, and the public demands for more air quality information were prompted in part by a Twitter feed from the U.S. Embassy that gave hourly PM2.5 readings from the building's roof.

The Big Mound Battlefield State Historic Site marks the hilltop where Dr. Josiah S. Weiser, chief surgeon, 1st Regiment of the Minnesota Mounted Rangers, was shot and killed on July 24, 1863. This shooting sparked the Battle of Big Mound, the first major battle fought in Dakota Territory between General Henry H. Sibley's Minnesota volunteers and a group of Santee and Teton Dakota (Sioux) Indians. This historic site lies ten miles north and east of Tappen, Kidder County.
The day of the battle, the column left Camp Grant and marched southwest across the rough hills of the Missouri Coteau. Around noon, scouts informed General Sibley that there were many Indians a few miles away. As the soldiers reached the edge of a large plateau and dropped down into a little valley, Indians were visible to the east, south, and west. Sibley ordered the troops to set up camp (later named Camp Sibley) and to prepare trenches and breastworks (temporary fortifications) for defense.
Some of the scouts took up a position some four hundred yards south of the main camp, where they were approached by Dakota Indians who asked to parley with General Sibley. Dr Weiser spoke Dakota and was assisting in the discussions when he was shot by one of the Indians. Both parties scurried for cover while exchanging gunfire and retreating to defensible positions.
The barrage alerted the troops who were setting up camp, and they formed into battle lines. Heavy fighting broke out in a large ravine running from the top of the surrounding plateau down to the campsite. Sibley, recognizing the challenge of defeating Indians concealed by natural cover in the ravine, moved up the hillside on the east side of the ravine to establish a command post on high ground, accompanied by a battery of six-pound field cannons. From several progressively higher gun positions, the artillery shelled people concealed in the ravine, until the pressure of the artillery and advancing infantry forced the Dakota to retreat toward the top of the plateau.
Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the battlefield, the Sixth Minnesota Infantry was advancing uphill against lighter opposition. When they topped the bluff line they turned south, driving the Santee and Teton before them. On the west, McPhail's Rangers circled west out of Camp Sibley, cutting off attack from the exposed side of the camp. Wheeling to the left (south), the cavalry established an effective blockade preventing the Indians from slipping off the plateau to the west. In concert, the Seventh Infantry, having gained the top of the plateau to the south, commenced wheeling to the right, sandwiching the Dakota between themselves and McPhail on the west (see McPhail's Butte Overlook).
More than one hundred years later, the battlefield is now quiet farmland with scant evidence of the conflict. The place where Dr. Weiser was killed is marked by a stone fence and granite headstone mounted on a boulder.

The New York Saints are set to open their 2003 home schedule on Thursday, January 2nd at 7 PM versus the Albany Attack. This will be the first of two games in three days for the Saints, as the Ottawa Rebel come to the Island on Saturday, January 4th. Thursday's game will mark the Nassau Coliseum debut behind the bench for new Saints' Head Coach, Pat McCabe as well as a handful of Long Island native Saints' rookies. After dropping the season-opener to Columbus, the Saints will look to climb above the .500-mark after this home-opening weekend.
Last week the Saints' dropped their season-opener in Columbus, OH to the Landsharks by a score of 15-10. The Saints' received goals from their three offensive leaders of a season ago in Kruger (3), Driscoll (1) and Prout (1) along with an equal amount of offensive support from a handful of their rookies. First-round draft picks Chad Culp (9th overall pick) netted his first two professional goals of his career and Nick Carlson (5th overall pick) added one of his own. Long Island native Dan Paccione, a late addition to the Saints' starting line-up for last Friday, stepped into the line-up and scored twice as well in his professional debut.
The Saints will look to avenge last week's loss this Thursday at the Nassau Coliseum as they take on the Albany Attack (0-1). Albany will also be looking to bounce back from a season-opening loss as they dropped their first game of the season last week against Toronto, 13-9. Last season, the Attack swept the two-game series between these two clubs en route to the 2002 NLL Championship Game. The Attack return 15 of 17 starters from their 2002 campaign while this season's Saints squad has undergone many changes, adding balance, size and offensive power to their line-up.

Ferris mayor steps down
Maria Dowding
The Ellis County Press
FERRIS – Jim E. Parks Jr. stepped down as mayor Monday, Aug. 3 during the Ferris City Council meeting.
He said he plans to relocate and would not be able to serve.
"Time has come for me to make a new start," he said.
He told council memebers he was moving to North Richland Hills.
The rest of the meeting focused on several financial issues including the budget.
Two of the issues addressed were authorizing designated signatures for the Commercial State Bank of Ferris, which was approved.
The other was to authorize the mayor pro tem to transmit funds for the investment in TexPool, which was also approved.
Next up was an introduction by Cameisha Scott Marshall of the Environmental Protection Agency of a clean up project for the City of Ferris.
The plan would include help to figure out which projects would fall under the assistance programs and a discussion about the ways these programs can assist the city. Ms. Marshall asked for agenda time during a future meeting to give a complete presentation about how the EPA can help Ferris through several of their programs.
After Ms. Marshall the council tabled a proposal to provide water and sewage for E2-Effective Environmental until more information could be established concerning the company's ability to treat any contaminated water before it enters the Ferris sewer system.
The Ferris Council also looked at the parking in the area around Ferris City Hall and decided to look into other paving options to extend the number of spots available for parking. However the council acted quickly to approve signs for the lot to prevent heavy trucks from parking on the newly paved areas. New, large signs will be posted to notify truckers they are not allowed, this action will help maintain the lot and reduce excessive wear.
The council also approved the Main Street Coordinators job description with only minor changes and they approved Witherspoon, Yeldell, and Wilson auditing firm to continue to audit Ferris records. Deadlines were requested and the current working relationship is considered very positive.

To hide or disguise something by covering it up or changing the way it looks.
Origin: camoufler, alteration (due to camouflet "to blow smoke in one's face") of camuffare, from (from capo "head") + muffare, from muffula, of origin, from * from * (akin to molawen "to soften", molwic "soft") + *, from fellan, from pel(e)(w)-. Akin to fel, fell.
Camouflage is the use of any combination of materials, coloration or illumination for concealment, either by making animals or objects hard to see, or by disguising them as something else. Examples include the leopard's spotted coat, the battledress of a modern soldier, and the leaf-mimic katydid's wings. A third approach, motion dazzle, confuses the observer with a conspicuous pattern, making the object visible but momentarily harder to locate. The majority of camouflage methods aim for crypsis, often through a general resemblance to the background, high contrast disruptive coloration, eliminating shadow, and countershading. In the open ocean, where there is no background, the principal methods of camouflage are transparency, silvering, and countershading, while the ability to produce light is among other things used for counter-illumination on the undersides of cephalopods such as squid. Some animals, such as chameleons and octopuses, are capable of actively changing their skin pattern and colours, whether for camouflage or for signalling. Military camouflage was spurred by the increasing range and accuracy of firearms in the 19th century. In particular the replacement of the inaccurate musket with the rifle made personal concealment in battle a survival skill. In the 20th century, military camouflage developed rapidly, especially during the First World War. On land, artists such as André Mare designed camouflage schemes and observation posts disguised as trees. At sea, warships and troop carriers were painted in dazzle patterns that were highly visible, but designed to confuse enemy gunners as to the target's speed, range, and heading. During and after the Second World War, a variety of camouflage schemes were used for aircraft and for ground vehicles in different theatres of war. The use of radar in the Cold War period has largely made camouflage for fixed-wing military aircraft obsolete.

The invitation had just been given for anyone who needed prayer to approach the altar. John came forward, kneeling in silent contemplation--silent except for the tears streaming down his cheeks.
I stood behind the prayer rail and knelt in front of him as he extended his hands to grasp mine. His body trembled as he sobbed. Behind him stood his wife, one hand resting on John's shoulder and the other raised heavenward as she prayed silently and wept openly.
"I just got back some tests on Friday," John whispered. "The doctors say I have prostate cancer. Pastor, I don't know if I have enough faith to go through this. Will you pray for me?"
As I anointed John with oil and prayed with him for healing, my mind pondered the phrase "enough faith."
For years I have heard preachers imply that faith in some way is quantified. The myths seem to circulate unabated: "If Susan had just had enough faith, she would have been healed," or "When Bill's faith gets strong enough, he will be healed," or "If everyone in this room all believed at the same moment, then all would be healed."
But is healing really based on your faith alone? What should be your perspective when God doesn't heal immediately?
If you are to understand why God doesn't always heal now, you will have to peel away the layers of myth that have been so tantalizing to embrace. You will have to dig deep into the Scripture for yourself instead of consuming the "fast food" of your favorite popular name-it-and-claim-it theologian. And you will have to decide to walk by faith instead of simply mouthing the platitudes of faith that have so easily supplanted God's Word in your daily confessions.
The truth is, while the lack of faith may hinder healing, healing does not depend on faith. I have witnessed both the faithful and the faithless being healed. And I have seen those of great faith die. In fact, everyone Jesus healed eventually died.
Those around the tomb of Lazarus lacked faith, and certainly Lazarus was in no position to exercise faith--he had been dead four days (see John 11:39-40). Yet Lazarus experienced a wonderful healing: He was resurrected.
A man once said to me after a friend's funeral: "Life's greatest enemy is death. She lacked faith. She doubted. So she lost and thus died." Yet this deceased friend was a believer who had surrendered her life to Jesus as Lord and Savior. She lives eternally with Christ in heaven. How silly to suggest that people die because of a lack of faith. Does this mean that people with enough faith will never die? Of course not!
If death were the enemy, why would Paul write, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain," or "We walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord" (Phil. 1:21; 2 Cor. 5:7-8, NKJV). We must avoid the myths of faith and healing and embrace the truth revealed in Scripture.
The Myths of Faith Healing
Some believers focus exclusively on faith as the key to healing. Yet Jesus healed many who apparently had no faith. Some were healed because their friends had faith. Others were bound up by demonic spirits and healed by exorcism, even against their wills.
The truth is that God heals. The myth is that God always heals now at the initiative of our faith.
Faith teacher Frederick K.C. Price has asserted: "The seventh method of receiving healing--[which] I believe is the highest kind of faith--is the highest way to receive healing...If you believe you receive it, you will confess that: 'Bless God, I believe I am healed. I believe I have received my healing...I believe that it is so. I believe that I can walk in divine health all the days of my life.' You are reading after one man who will never be sick, and I'm not being presumptuous."
Myth is mixed here with truth. The highest kind of faith is, "I believe in Jesus," not just, "I believe."
It is true that faith must be our initiative. But even our initiative comes through the prompting of the Holy Spirit: "No one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:3). Our faith helps us receive healing, just as the lack of faith hinders healing. But healing does not depend on faith. Healing depends on the Healer.
Healing is the will of God. Canadian evangelist Peter Youngren wrote: "Jesus clearly shows us God's will in healing...the Word of God declares that 'great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all' (Matt. 12:15). When Jesus healed all, He was obviously doing the will of His Father, because He only did that which the Father wanted Him to do."
Youngren adds: "This is why you can come with boldness asking God for healing. God is on your side. He wants the best for you. He is good."
So, if God wills all to be healed, then can your faith move His hand to heal you? In the words of the Hertz rental car commercial: "Not exactly!"
Your faith moves Him to save you (see Rom. 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8). And in your salvation is your healing: "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: 'He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses'" (Matt. 8:17; Is. 53:4-6).
But your faith does not effect your healing now. When you are healed rests entirely on what the sovereign purposes of the Healer are.
Consider this biblical example. In John 5 Jesus healed one paralytic at the pool of Bethesda though a multitude thronged that place daily to be healed. Why was one man healed at that moment while others were not?
John 5:19 gives the answer when Jesus confessed, "'Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.'"
Bible scholar Jack Deere correctly observes that the initiative for the miraculous in Jesus' ministry did not begin with Him but with the Father. "He healed only the people He saw His Father healing," Deere writes. "The only firm reason for the healing of the paralytic that we can derive from the context of John 5 is that the Father willed it, and Jesus executed His Father's will...We are ultimately faced with the conclusion that sometimes the Lord works miracles for His own sovereign purposes without giving any explanation for His actions to His followers."
The second myth about healing is that if you stand fast in faith, you will be physically healed in time and space. Ken and Gloria Copeland have declared that healing will come if we have faith in our hearts and God's Word in our mouths. But, they add: "It may take time for it to manifest in your body. So stand fast in faith, giving thanks to God until it does. Focus on God's Word, not on physical symptoms."
In what do we "stand fast"? The "rock" on which we stand isn't faith or healing but Christ alone--the Healer. In Hebrews 10:23 we are admonished to hold fast to the profession of our faith. But in what is our profession of faith? Certainly, it is not in faith or in healing.
Be careful that your faith is not in faith itself--or, worse yet, in a faith teacher! Just believing hard enough, long enough or strong enough will not strengthen you or prompt your healing. Doing mental gymnastics to "hold on to your miracle" will not cause your healing to manifest now.
So what is faith? It is more than believing in your heart that God heals. The truth is that God is the God who heals. Faith is trusting the God who heals. Faith is a radical, absolute surrender to the God who heals. Faith is not holding on for your healing but holding on to the God who can do the impossible.
The truth is that your healing may manifest in eternity, not in time. If your trust is in God who heals, then when He heals you is secondary to belonging to the Healer. Certainly you will thank Him if He heals you today. But if your healing comes beyond death in eternity, will you praise Him now for that?
Paul did just that: "'O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?' The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Cor. 15:55-58).
The third myth about healing is that if you just confess your healing, you will be healed right now. But you should confess the Healer, not your healing.
In his best-selling book, The Bible Cure, Dr. Reginald B. Cherry encourages us to "speak to the mountain" of our illness when we pray. That is important in prayer. But praying it and saying it won't make physical healing manifest now.
Positive confession does not effect healing. If that were true, anyone who believes in mind-over-matter mental exercises could heal people. Only Jesus heals.
Our confession should be in Him, not in being healed now. Jesus sternly warned: "'Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven'" (Matt. 10:32-33).
It's time we throw out the lies that cloud the truth about faith and healing. It's time we embrace the scriptural truths that shatter shallow myths and bring us freedom to confidently trust God.
Freedom in the Truth
When God doesn't heal now, you can apply essential truths about faith and healing that are anchored in Scripture. I've identified four key actions we should take when we face a serious illness:
1. Have others join their faith to yours in bringing your infirmity to Jesus. "When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them" (Luke 4:40; Matt. 8:16; Mark 1:32-34; 2:3-12).
Don't try to face sickness alone. An essential key to healing in the New Testament is the power of corporate faith and praying in agreement with others (see Matt. 18:19-20). When you gather with others to pray, the presence of Christ dwells in your midst. Because He is the Great Physician, with His presence comes healing power.
Throughout the healing miracle accounts in the Gospels, we observe that friends brought the sick to Jesus. In Mark 2, a paralytic man was brought by his friends to Jesus. The Syro-Phoenician woman brought her daughter to Jesus (see Matt. 15:22; Mark 7:24-30). A father brought his demonized child to Jesus (see Matt 17:14-18; Mark 9:17-27; Luke 9:38-42).
Join your faith with others to seek the Great Physician. When sickness has weakened, fatigued and discouraged you, seek out others who will pray in faith.
2. Seek to receive a touch from God. The woman with an issue of blood exercised her faith by going outside and searching for the Healer. She did all she knew to do to reach out through a crowd and touch Jesus (see Matt. 9:20; Mark 5:25-27; Luke 8:43-44).
When you are sick, you might be tempted to isolate yourself from settings in which you can touch and be touched by the presence of Christ. At times, you may not feel like going to worship services. You may feel too weak to sing and praise God. You may be too tired and discouraged to call the elders of your church to anoint you with oil and pray in faith for you.
Resist this temptation to stay at home in isolation. Healing flows through the body of Christ. His body is the church. Break out of your loneliness and seek the Healer.
3. Submit yourself to the authority and will of Christ, trusting Him as your Healer. The centurion's faith in Christ opened a door for his servant to be healed (see Matt. 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10). Likewise, the authority for your healing does not rest in you or your faith. Claiming your healing and speaking the right words do not guarantee your healing now or at any future time. Your faith opens a door for you to receive your healing from Christ.
I prayed with a woman who demanded that God heal her. When I questioned her attitude, she exclaimed, "I have the authority as a child of God to command God to fulfill His promise of healing for me." She believed a common myth that has been spread by some faith teachers, who believe that we can command God to do our bidding.
Our authority isn't over Christ but in Christ. We reign with Him in heavenly places (see Eph. 2:4-7). The sons of Sceva presumed to have healing authority but quickly learned that authority rested in the person of Jesus, not simply in the repetitious use of His name (see Acts 19:13-16).
The truth is that all authority for every matter, including healing, rests in Jesus: "'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth'" (Matt. 28:18). From Christ we receive imparted authority to say what He says and to do what He does. Submit to His authority for your healing.
4. Believe on His Word, not someone else's advice or counsel. Whenever Jesus spoke the Word, people were healed (see Matt. 8:8, 16; Luke 7:7). The psalmist said, "He [the Lord] sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Ps. 107:20). Listen to the Word of the Lord for your healing. No one else's word, faith or assurance will do. When God doesn't heal now, trust His voice and believe His Word.
Proverbs 4:20-22 reads: "My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh."
When God doesn't heal now, trust His Word--not your circumstances or human advice. God has not abandoned you. He's not taking a vacation. He is right there by your side as you put your trust in His tender care.

By Larry Keefauver
Why Wasn't Landon Healed?We preached a message of instant faith--until our own son got sick.
We were shocked when the pediatrician gave his diagnosis. Our son, Landon, had juvenile diabetes and unless we admitted him to the hospital immediately he could die.
How could this be? Teresa and I wondered. We were associate pastors and worship leaders in a rapidly growing Spirit-filled, Word-Faith church. We preached victory over sickness and poverty. It had not even been a year since Benny Hinn had laid hands on my wife and me in a conference and prophesied that a mighty ministry would come forth.
For 24 hours, Landon lay in a coma in pediatric intensive care. Having been influenced by Word-Faith teaching, we already had begun to pray and confess healing. We involved our church as well as friends and family all over the country. People were standing with us for a miracle.
There were many things we learned to endure, the most difficult of which was giving our 14-month-old son daily insulin injections. We were told the very worst-case scenarios. The doctors said he would most likely be in and out the hospital and experience a lot of difficult days as he grew up.
Adding insult to injury, the hospital required us to see a psychiatrist before we were allowed to take Landon home because of what was perceived to be radical Christian beliefs. That was because we were praying all the time.
I remember people telling us to not let any negative words come out of our mouths. We could never confess that he might have this disease. Teresa and I knew the Lord impressed us to guard our lips, but our minds were so overwhelmed with pain we wanted to scream. We wept a lot during those dark days.
Twelve years later, our son still takes insulin injections. I'm not saying we haven't seen miracles. He has not been hospitalized since his diagnosis. His vision is 20/20.
Landon is actively involved in ministry and has appeared on a regionally broadcast Christian television program. He plays saxophone in jazz and concert band. He is an honor student and participates in several sports. But why hasn't he been healed? Some might think we do not have enough faith; others think we have sin in our lives.
In our ministry we have seen people healed from cancer. Couples who could not have children have been able to conceive after we prayed for them. Recently a woman with severe pain in her hip due to an injury was totally healed as we prayed. Why not our son?
Maybe you're facing a similar dilemma. You need to know that God is operating in your life in a dimension that far exceeds human analysis.
Will Teresa and I ever give up praying and believing for Landon's healing? Absolutely not! But I have come to realize that God has a time for everything, including healing.
I have often wondered if Jesus ever saw the lame man at the gate called Beautiful (see Acts 3). I am convinced He did. So why didn't Jesus heal the man when He went to the temple to pray? Maybe God had a different plan.
Jesus said, "'I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner'" (John 5:19, NKJV). Maybe the Father has a greater plan for your life, even though you may feel as if the Healer has passed you by.
Don't give up--there could be an apostle Peter just around the corner. Faith does not give us immunity from difficulty. But it does give us the power to overcome.

text: John Jasper was one of the most famous black preachers of the 19th century and remains one of the most celebrated slave preachers. Jasper was born to Philip and Tina Jasper on July 4, 1812, the youngest of 24 children on Peachy Plantation, Fluvanna County, Virginia. His mother was a devout Christian, and his father was a Baptist preacher. Two months before Jasper's birth, his father died. When Jasper was born, neighbors encouraged his mother to name him after his deceased father. However, she was inspired to name him after the beloved disciple John.
