Negligence is something for a civil trial court not Criminal. Did the ignorance and negligence of the fire officers in Westmoreland and Lairdsville rise to a criminal level? I don't think so, but I'm interested in what happens after the criminal trial. I don't think that all of the fire officers from Westmorland or Lairdsville will be completely off the hook. Depending on the structure of the Department and the Administration including the Fire Commissioners, there maybe a very large price to pay.
I agree that if Baird told Golden that he shouldn't be involved and someone else took him in, then two questions should be asked:
1. Who provided Brad Golden with the SCBA?
2. Why prior to lighting the couch, didn't Baird make sure of the whereabouts of Brad Golden?
Training a rookie is about, "yo boot, I want you on my butt the whole time. If I don't see you there everytime I turn around, when we get back to the station your butt is mine." When Brad Golden showed up when they called back to the station for "victims", Baird should have sent Brad Golden back to the station or given him the "stay on my butt" speech.
Yes Mongo, Baird was still responsible for Brad Golden.
I have said on this and other web sites that certification and training is the key to making sure that this doesn't happen again. In some states the authority to determine what level of training is required by all fire fighters and fire officers is at the state level. In some states like PA they do not have such authority at the present time. Public safety is a function of the local jurisdictions. For those who have set standards, some will argue that this limits those who would become volunteers. These same people see this as a problem. I see this as a challenge and a benefit. Those who are unwilling to spend the time training and obtaining certifications should not be admitted since our mission involves decisions that involve life and death of civilians and brothers alike. We need to make sure that this is clear up front during a pre-entrance interview to all prospective volunteers. To place the lives of others in the hands of untrained/uncertified officers will lead to tragedies like Lairdsville. These lessons are not new, as George Wendt and others have pointed out. In NJ, they at least set minimum training and certification standards, for all.
Mr. Steve Moran,
I am very sorry to hear that a relative of yours was injured in a training accident. The fact that it happened in a State Sponsored training evolution and no-one was apparently held accountable makes it even that more tragic. It does not however release Mr. Baird of his responsibilities to act in a manner consistent with the criminal code in New York State. There is also a difference in a case where death has resulted as opposed to injury despite the painful and difficult nature of burns.
Whether or not Mr. Baird is guilty, I will wait until the defense has its turn to present its case.

I have to say yes it did. When Baird made the decision to make the situation "more intense", he crossed the line into a criminal act. In my eyes he may has well of said, "Let's cook 'em". (No disrespect intended toward the victims)May we never forget our fallen, worldwide.

We agree
I wasn't referring to Baird. I was referring to the other officers from Lairdsville and Westmoreland, including the Fire Commissioners. Did the lack of training, which apparently was somewhat the responsibililty of the Fire Commissioners, and the other fire officers, help lead to the sorry events that we now know as Lairdsville? I say yes. Was it such that criminally negligent charges could be brought? I don't know that. I don't have enough information to make that decision.
Were they liable. Yes. Is that a decision to be made in a criminal trial. Only if the District Attorney for Onieda County has decided to do so by bringing the facts to a Grand Jury and letting them decide to send down indictments.
Even when this criminal trial is over, there is going to be a lot more that will play out in the months and years to come.

With the defense resting it's case today, let's go back to Lairdsville: What Went Wrong? and see what differs from the interviews to the courtroom testimony.
According to Benjamin Morris, he stated in his interview that he never made it back to his feet. He frantically searched for a way out of the smoke-filled room. He couldn't see Golden. He couldn't see anything. He groped for a door, a window, a hand to guide him. He remembers making it to the front wall of the room. His bell went off. He panicked, banged on the walls a couple of times, then fell backwards. He blacked out.
Morris thought that only the fire in the barrel on the second floor would be set.
Morris stated in his interview that he and Golden weren't told of their roles as victims until they arrived at the farmhouse.
In his court testimony, he stayed pretty true to his pre-trial statements. He testified that Croman left him and Golden in the room, came back about five minutes later and said "come on guys, we got to go, let's go. As the firefighters tried to escape, they lost contact with each other. Morris stated "I never made it to my feet. The room filled with smoke. I was confused. I didn't know what was going on." Morris said he panicked and became disoriented. Extreme heat prevented him from making it to the blazing stairway. He lost consciousness and remembers waking up in the grass in the front yard. Morris was asked who was in charge at the drill scene. Morris stated "As far as I knew, it was Lairdsville's practice. The highest-ranking officer was in charge," Morris said in reference to Baird. Morris testified Adam Croman was acting as safety officer.
Adam Croman declined to be interviewed, but according to his father, Adam told him that he sought to help the others before leaping out the window. "He told me he pushed them toward the stairs and he jumped out the window with a full pack on," Chief Lance Croman said of his son. "For some reason we don't know, the other two didn't make it out."
According to Adam Croman's testimony, he was asked by his father to participate as an advisor in a rapid intervention exercise. Adam Croman said he was told a burn barrel was to be used in a "smoke-only" exercise. Morris and Golden were positioned lying down in a bedroom to simulate downed firefighters and Croman was to light the barrel in another room. Baird stood near the sofa by the foot of the stairs. "All I saw was one foot and one hand going down and then I saw an orange glow, that's all I saw." Baird "then commanded me to give him the mattress". "That's when I saw flames licking from the first level to the ceiling of the second level". According to Croman, he took Morris and Golden to a second-floor window, but the flames and thick black smoke from the first-floor fire "were licking up at us". "We got to the hall area and sort of just nudged each other to try to get downstairs." As the three firefighters tried to crawl backward down a burning staircase to escape the inferno surrounding them, Croman realized he couldn't make it down that way alive. Moments later, Croman testified he lost contact with Morris and Golden. "You go from human to survival mode. You can't explain it. We were all just panicking. We didn't know what to do," Croman testified. He added: "It got intense. I just bolted out. We were all yelling for each other. To this day, I can still hear screaming. It was mind-boggling." Croman found the burn barrel room and crawled until he felt cardboard over a window. Croman jumped out a second-floor window. Croman told Moran he agreed only to act in a "safety" function on the second floor.
Alan Baird in his interview with the Uticah Observer Dispatch stated that he thought everyone upstairs knew what was going on because they had radios.
Well, we have been through Baird's stuff numerous times.
Here's my question: Why the big, big difference in the two stories between Adam Croman and Benjamin Morris. Croman looking to get a Medal of Valor out of this? Baird says that there were radios, but no one has said that they tried to get anyone on a radio. If the fire broke as aggressively as Baird says, why wasn't he calling the second floor, telling them to get the hell out. He stated that he didn't ladder the windows for safety because they were too small, but Adam Croman managed to bail out of one, didn't he? In Baird's interview, he stated that he, Spaven, Croman and Kimball stood on the steps and went through the exercise, so why all of the confusion?
Then in court, Baird said that the exercise was poorly planned and they made it up as they went along. How much could you make up as you went along when the accounts say that five minutes after he lit the couch, all hell broke loose. There wasn't time to "make it up as you go along". At that point, they were in the rescue mode and the training exercise ceased to be!
For my money, Benjamin Morris is the most credible witness of them all. Granted, he has every right to be bitter, but he comes the closet to sticking to his story. And HE says that Baird was in charge. Everyone said that Baird was in charge, except Baird. Now, without making an unfounded accusation here, it would appear that the Cromans and Kimball have rehearsed to corroborate testimony. They have been measured in their testimony. I believe that Croman is lying out of both sides of his mouth. He says that they panicked and didn't know what they were doing, but yet, gives a detailed account of his "heroics". I have said all along that Baird and others were responsible and it isn't more glaring in Croman's case. Blood is thicker than water, so Dad is going with the son. But where is any reference to any radio traffic? Where is "I radioed......"?
If they had radios, why were they all yelling, according to Croman?
All others believed that the burn barrel was to be used, but Baird, the guy who planned the exercise said that the barrel was not to be used for that exercise. So he had planned all along to light the couch? He stated that he made it up as he went along. So how could anyone else know his plans and why was everyone else so clear on the idea that a burn barrel was to be used? Baird said in testimony "The whole plan was poorly planned. It was made up as WE went along." He said that he told Golden that he could not participate and went so far as to say that he should have gone upstairs to find out who was up there. Why? He supposedly had a radio. He could have radioed "Adam, who is up there?" Adam could have radioed back, "I thought that we were only lighting the burn barrel?" To which Baird could have radioed, "Get out now; the fire just went up the wall." But apparently, no one knew how to use their radios either.
Why wasn't Gary Spaven called to testify? And why would his wife? I won't even comment on that.
I also noticed that there is a whole lot of people covering Kimball's ***. Good ole boy, perhaps?
Well, lads and laddies, it has been interesting, but the best is yet to come. I can already smell an appeal, because Baird wants to be exonerated and that is just not going to happen. Croman believes that he is a hero. That, too, isn't going to happen. This fire department doesn't need a giant makeover; it needs a giant turnover. It is a nest of good ole boys and their boys and if they stay in, history will repeat itself in that fire district.

Chief, I am not an overly religious person, but I'm telling you right now I want to shout HALLEILUYAH!!!!!!! (darn, don't think I spelled it right though)
Excellent post and may I say I agree 100%!!!!
Actually the radio issue was one that I raised quite some time ago. They all had radios, but did Baird ever think to warn them that all hell had broke loose? Apparently not.
Lets' hope these ripples are felt all over North America
Chief Reason
Outstanding post... thank you for keeping track of everything. The radio thing puzzled me as well.
From firehouse.com news storyAbout 10 firefighters were on the scene when the fire flared up, Walsh said, with water close at hand and constant radio contact being maintained.
I just pulled this off of the Lairdsville site, found it while I was looking for something else. I'm going to post it because it's got my knickers in a knot...It is an excerpt from a statement Baird made to the police on Oct 7th.
Question: Do Adam Croman and Gary Spaven have any training as safety officers or are you aware of any training they should have had to be a safety officer?
Baird: To my knowledge, Im not aware of any training that is required to be a training officer
In a December report, the state determined Spaven set the couch ablaze. Spaven denies this, and Baird told investigators it was he who lit the fire. The state cites as its source Westmoreland Fire District safety and health officer Robert Walsh, who says he was not present when the incident began. The state, however, stands by its report
This is what I was actually looking for...
Baird did know that firefighters inside the house were to communicate with other firefighters by radio.
Both safety officers upstairs had radios and were in contact with the chief. I didnt have a radio with me at the time the exercise started, Baird said. I looked up the stairway and saw Adam Croman standing at the top of the stairs. I asked Croman if everyone was ready, and he said that they were.

Hey Mongo here are two words I have wanted to say to you since the day I began posting in these forums: BAIRD GUILTY.
Will you and your new friend Moran continue to email eachother with the bull**** you have for the past 3 months?
For all of you in these forums that had no clue 3 months ago and could only sit in here and question everything I attempted to explain, with sarcasism, the jury has spoke. So what does that tell you?
FDNYR1 - Wow! You're my hero. Your grasp of the obvious is overwhelming. You alone, thought Baird was guilty of wrong doing. Not one other person in any of the 5 or 6 threads with over a hundred responses thought anything was wrong. You da man!

And where does that conflict with anything I've said regarding Baird?
I never said he was innocent, I never proclaimed his innocence.
For all of you in these forums that had no clue 3 months ago and could only sit in here and question everything I attempted to explain, with sarcasism, the jury has spoke.
No clue, are you insane? Can you read? I posted the links in another topic, go back and show us anything you tried to explain and anything that shows we have no clue.
In fact, it probably wouldn't be too hard for any number of us to go back and demonstrate that it is actually you that has no clue. A little discussion on your claim of not listening to for PASS devices if you're not on the RIT comes to mind...
If you're not smart enough to find the links let me know and I'll post them here.
You explained nothing. Remember, you and ny55 developed a secret gag order that nobody else had?
Heck (and even though I agree you can use any name you want) you used FDNYR1 to try and grab some instant credibility.
So what's the answers to any of my questions you avoid because you're too CS to answer?
So what does that tell you?
Your as much a coward as ny55 and croman. You dodge every question posed to you but **** and moan when your's don't get answered.
What are YOU hiding?

It's only my opinion. I do not speak for any group or organization I belong to or associate with or people I know - especially my employer. If you like it, we can share it, you don't have to give me credit. If you don't, we are allowed to disagree too (but be ready to be challenged, you may be on to something I'm not).

Well, I figured the acrimony would start soon enough. Do we all understand that Baird being found guilty of criminally negligent homicide is pretty much a symbolic gesture? I don't think he will ever see the inside of the jail, unless it is to counsel a firesetter, but it is pretty much a shallow victory for those of us who place our people's safety above all else and a shallow defeat for those who thought that we would actually see other officers stand up and proclaim that they had responsibility.
To those of you who came into these forums using a kamikaze style of evading the questions posed to you, you clearly showed your ignorance and your unwillingness to participate COMPLETELY by reading all posters. I realize that some can be long, but if you don't read the whole thing, you miss the point. So instead, you chose to jump in where you saw a name that, no matter what they said, you would take exception with and then proceed to tell us that you were there, but couldn't or wouldn't give us a shred of corroborating proof. You covered up worse than Nixon, but at least he had enough integrity to leave office. You kept coming into the thread, telling most of us that we didn't know sh*t from apple butter about the tragedy, but then, neither did you. When you had a captive audience and your chance to educate us, you resorted to name-calling and other abrasive adolescent behavior with no other purpose than to get the thread off-topic. WHY CAN'T POSTERS START AT THE BEGINNING OF THE THREAD, GET A SENSE FOR THE TOPIC BEING DISCUSSED, ABSORB WHAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED, SO WE DON'T GO OVER AND OVER AND OVER THE SAME SH*T. AND YOU THINK YOU HAVE STATED A REVELATION; A POINT SO COMPELLING THAT YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPS! See the irony here? Anyway, the criminal trial of Baird is over. There were differences of opinions that were stated very succinctly and some not. I don't know that anyone who even felt that Baird was guilty before the verdict was in, were doing high-fives after it was read. It is a story with a sad ending, regardless.
And for those of you who believe that you will be sued for everything that you do; maybe, it's time to find another hobby, because if you don't believe that you are positively contributing to your fire service every day and are going to cower at the threat of a lawsuit, then you shouldn't continue because you don't have the heart. You don't have the drive to educate yourself to a level of competency that, if questioned, will stand up in a court of law, but more importantly, you will know in your heart that you gave it your all. The laws are there to protect us from the idiots. Standards are there to educate us. I don't know about the rest of you, but this trial and the ensuing verdict, does not shake me one bit, because we follow the standards. We will continue as we have. We train and educate. (The entire Lairdsville text will be added to our library as a learning tool). We demand of our people and if it's too much of a demand, then stand down; someone else says that they will give us the effort. I said before that this isn't done for fun; it's not dress up so we can feed some sick uniform fetish. We do it for our loved ones and the citizens of our communities. If you're doing it for any other reason, then you're one of those who is afraid that he will be sued.
Why can't we challenge each other to push for national training standards? We are closer than you think. How many of you that are volunteers would attempt to do something at your regular job that you aren't trained and qualified to do? You wouldn't because of safety, you don't want to ruin your chances at a promotion or you don't want to screw up and get fired. Why is what you do for the volunteer fire department any different? It's time to give what you love the attention that it needs and I'm not talking about a bass boat here.
If you really believe that you can get by putting in the minimum training hours that your fire department requires, then it will always be the same until you are willing to put in the effort necessary to make CHANGE! It's time for a gut check.
And for the record; no one bashed me, called me names or insulted me in any way during the entire time these threads were alive. So I guess there is still time, if you have a mind to. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
You want some-go get some!!

Awesome post, thank you for the inspiration."They're so hell-bent on giving, walking a wire,
Convinced it's not living, if you stand outside the fire."
Chief, as usual, beautifully written!
Hopefully, this case will make people in line officer positions take responsibility for their actions and training. Too often people take positions so that they have the extra brass on their uniform, not because they feel they can do the job.
Along with the position comes the responsibility to take care of your troops, and to ensure that you can DO ALL functions of the job.
I hope they go after Croman also. He took the poor kid in, he should have made sure he got out.9/11/01 Never forget Never forgive

What planet has FDNYR1 been on. I know that I have posted as well as many others since day one that Baird should be held accountable and is GUILTY! I still think that others such as croman and other officers who were there that day should be gone after next. They accepted the position as well as the responsibility. The should be held accountable for their actions as well as their inactions. In the precedings they indicated they were not comfortable with the process. THEY SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IT! One step further would be to go after the council as "accessories" since they publicly stated in an interview that they questioned Baird's abilities and training when they appointed him....NO BRAINER her folks!
Chief Reason...I see what you are saying about a symbolic gesture. I just hope that this serves as a wake up for other morons and idiots across the U.S. It is a message that killing people in training exercises due to lack of safety, poor planning (no planning), irresponsible actions, immaturity, stupidity, ignorance etc., is not acceptable.
Temptaker...I also wondered why the IC would not have a radio. And I also found his "I don't know of any training..." statement to be very interesting (for lack of better word. The inconsistancy in stories could suggest some sort of cover up as you say. I am sure that as testimony came out, these are some of the reasons that he was convicted.
MONGO....Easy boy.... I am with you....but I see that FDNYR1 is back on the attack again.09-11 .. 343 "All Gave Some..Some Gave ALL" God Bless..R.I.P.

Some information you all may find interesting. Ben Morris was on a local radio show on Wednesday. The show was The Keeler in The Morning Show. He told everyone that he was considerd an experienced firefighter. He also told everyone listening that he watched Baird light the couch on fire. He siad he watched Baird watch the fire burn for 5 minutes. You tell me doesnt that mean he watched the fire burn for 5 min also. I then called the radio station and asked this as my second question " If Ben was an experienced firefighter and watch Baird watch the fire burn for 5 min. Then he should have known it was time to get the hell out before it got too bad." After that question the host Bill Keeler hung up on me very fast.
I posted this several times so everyone could see it.Everything that I post is my opinion only, none of this should be taken as fact.
sfdlt5>>>>>sounds as if you may have been there????
WE all know that thre was no experience there....PERIOD!
Let them all keep chatting and taking advantage of the situation and trying to make themselves famous out of this. None of them except the MUTT (Kimball) are immune from prosecution... Let them keep at it...09-11 .. 343 "All Gave Some..Some Gave ALL" God Bless..R.I.P.

Everything that I post is my opinion only, none of this should be taken as fact.

I was going to let this go, but in reading it again, it's really irritating. Forget about FDNYR1 and nyfirefighter55 it is obvious to everyone here that they have no real interest in contributing constructively to the forum, instead choose to attack someone that WE (forum members) respect.
FDNYR1 and nyfirefighter55
If you really are as your name states from NY, I would think given recent incidents your priority would be to keep your people safe, educate them well, and press for higher standards in your state. I could be wrong, but if people get getting hurt and killed where I live I would be doing EVERYTHING within my power to ensure that it STOPS. Instead you choose to name call... that's very mature, your are truly a credit to the profession.

Thank you once again for an outstanding post. Your wisdom, insite and great way with words is appreciated.

Thanks for the info on the radio show. I was wondering why Morris would get ammunity for his participation at the trial. It would seem that perhaps he wasn't quite the 'sheep led to slaughter' as was implied. However, even if he did watch the fire burn for 5 minutes , I don't know if that would make him criminally responsible for Brad Golden's death. Certainly he could be named in a civil suit.

Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in! - Michael Corleone from The Godfather II. Or was it III?
Anyway, you know we should probably switch gears and rename this thread Lairdsville Revisited: What Was CHANGED? New York is actually considering legislating training requirements for those conducting live burns outside of the training academies. Really? Why would they want to do something that reasonable? Why would they want to do something that makes perfectly good sense?
I know of no other fitting tribute to a young man that lost his life than to be the catalyst for sweeping reform. Call it "The Bradley Golden Law". We have already seen that we will hold people accountable for poor decisions; now, give them the tools to make better decisions.
Westmoreland, Lowell and Lairdsville can play their little silly-assed "who was in charge" game or "we don't get along too well with the others" and fool themselves into believing that their cosmetic changes will satisfy the locals, but until New York state steps in and pushes them to change their culture, it will be business as usual. They won't change, because they would lead us to believe that, if they did, they would lose members.
A chief from Keokuk, IA lost (3) firefighters in December, 1999; the same month and year that Worcester, MA lost (6). Iowa OSHA came in and cited them and fined them for respirator-related violations, among others. Many questions were asked. A battle broke out between the mayor and the fire department and through it all, the department did not lose ONE firefighter as a result of that incident. He made the necessary changes and two and a half years later, they are a better fire department. You see, they took the notion that if they had it to do all over again, THEY WOULD CHANGE THINGS. I can't tell you how much admiration I have for this department and its officers. This chief, for those of you who don't know, lost his assistant chief, who also happened to be his best friend, a lieutenant and a firefighter to a flashover on that day.Three firefighters and three children perished in that fire.
Change is inevitable? Why wait?
The opinions expressed are mine and mine alone.

"While most volunteers would support tougher requirements for live burn exercises, there is some trepidation about the state legislating improvements, Hannan said."
And there lies our problem. No matter what we do, no matter how much we scream for adherence to standards, no matter how much we cry for change, here lies our major problem. You've hit the nail on the head Chief Reason, when you say you must change the culture in order to change the behaviour. Until these Departments are willing to admit that they can't and aren't doing things safely and agree to voluntarily adapt and adopt, nothing is going to change. I can just see the chest beating and braying that will go on......"You can't force us!!"....."Just pay for what we need and leave us alone!!" "Who are you to mandate and enforce YOUR rules" "Our Department is unique, what can you know about how we run" "We are volunteers, you can't expect us to live up to professional standards!!!" (Okay I stole that one from someone.....shoot me )
Significant change isn't going to happen unless one of two things occurs. NY State decides to develope the stones required to legislate training and standards, and Fire Departments across the state agree to willingly adopt them. What do we think the chances of that happening are?

Some Fire Departments will probably or have already started to making the necessary changes to their training programs. Some Fire Departments will wait until the State comes up with better standards and there will be some Departments that won't make any changes.
NY State Legislation on the other hand....well they're on the other hand. To put it mildly, the State Budget could pass faster than the a bill for better training standards.
So, in an attempt to answer your question,what do we think the chances of that happening are? I think there is a better chance of Fire Departments improving on their training standards than NY deciding to develope them. If and when NY State does develope something it will more than likely (and I could be wrong) fall under the Department of Labor since we already have to follow the Public Employee Safety and Health Act which falls under the DOL.

I would hope that the actions of the now vocal few are not accepted as speaking for all firefighters in NY. Just speaking up for the honor of those fire departments in NY that are attempting to follow the standards.Last edited by Lewiston2Capt; 05-30-2002 at 10:32 AM.

Shop all 4K Ultra HD TVs Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Steve Kindig 4K Ultra HD TV — LG redefines high definition A built-in multi-speaker sound bar enhances the super-detailed picture with rich sound. LG's 55LA9700 Ultra High Definition TV narrows the gap between watching a movie in a theater and viewing at home. Today's state-of-the-art cinemas use "4K" projectors to wow audiences with incredible picture detail and depth. LG's 4K TVs provide that same you-are-there realism, from the comfort of your couch. With four times the detail of current 1080p HDTVs, 4K Ultra HD TVs have over 8 million pixels. Even standing right next to the screen it's nearly impossible to discern individual pixels. And there's more to this TV than its exceptional detail. LG also used its most advanced technologies for the LCD panel and the all-important LED backlight. The 55LA9700 is packed with other great innovations, as well, from a built-in retractable sound bar to an impressive batch of Smart TV apps. The recipe for producing the best TV picture Even in the small and elite club of 4K TVs, LG's models stand out for their excellent off-axis picture quality. That's often a weakness for LCD TVs, but LG addresses it with their IPS panel technology. When we've checked out other top LG TVs we've always been impressed at how the picture contrast and color remain crisp even as we've moved around to the sides of the screen. It makes a big difference when you're watching with a group of friends or family. The 55LA9700 also uses LG's most advanced LED backlight technology, called NANO Full LED. It is what's known as a "full array" backlight, which is expensive to build and increasingly rare. Most LED-LCD TVs have the LEDs spaced around the edge of the screen, but the NANO Full LED system uses a grid of LEDs behind the screen for precise, uniform illumination. These LEDs are grouped into over a hundred zones which can independently dim or brighten. LG's Micro Pixel Control analyzes the video content scene by scene, then dims and/or brightens specific sections of the screen, producing strikingly realistic picture contrast with deep black levels and natural colors. This precisely controlled "local dimming" allows the 55LA9700 to simultaneously display everything from the infinite black of a deep-space star field to the brilliant white of an Arctic snowfield — even in the same scene. The retractable sound bar lowers into place when you're watching, then slides up and out of sight when not in use. A built-in sound bar provides a sonic and visual surprise LG's unique sliding sound bar delivers sound quality that complements the 55LA9700's superb 4K picture. With four speakers and a woofer, backed by 50 watts of power, this sound bar is a big improvement over typical TV speakers. And when you aren't watching TV, the sound bar automatically recedes, preserving this model's elegantly minimalist look. Up-to-the-minute Smart TV features The 55LA9700 is one of LG's web-savviest TVs. Built-in apps give you instant access to a nearly limitless selection of entertainment — streamed video from services like Netflix®, Vudu®, and Hulu Plus™, music from Pandora® and Rhapsody®, social networking, and lots more. LG's simple-to-use interface also includes a browser so you can jump on the web during commercials. A dual-core processor really speeds up web browsing and app multitasking. LG's user-friendly TV/web interface makes navigation a piece of cake. LG's latest Magic Remote is no ordinary "clicker" LG's latest motion-sensing Magic Remote uses gesture controls to let you easily search and select web entertainment just by pointing and clicking. It's very similar to using a wireless videogame controller or an air mouse. Other nice touches include a scroll wheel and a built-in microphone for voice commands. There's also a pop-up camera on the top of the TV that makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family through Skype®. This big, sharp screen makes room for multiple people to join in the conversation. Use the Sanus MountFinder™ to see a list of wall-mounts that work with your specific TV.

LD LA9700 Ultra HD TV Written By movie watcher, Lemon Grove Ca on Sunday, April 05, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) An outstanding picture with GREAT black and contrast giving great depth to picture. Nano led technology really outpreforms led edge lighting so that both bright and dark areas of a scene have more detail and are more visible. Standard 1080 p signals give outstanding quality and the picture is very realistic in image and color. TV is easy to set up and use. Pros: Picture, ease of use Cons: None
If You Can't Say Something Nice Written By Bonnie, Hernando on Sunday, October 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first 4K, tv, and to be totally truthful, the picture is just good, really wish I could say it is great cause when you see it in the store it's amazing. From what we've been told by our cable provider it's partly due to the broadcast signal, and that isn't going to change any time soon.(and lack of a manual...which, Crutchfield is copying, and sending to us) But what I want to tell you about is how great Crutchfield is, my customer service rep was phenomenal, helpful, professional, and truly caring and responsive. The tv arrived ahead of the promised shipping date, which rarely happens, because we're in a remote location. We are devoted life long customers of Crutchfield forever! Pros: Crutchfield is the only store to buy, anything they sell Cons: The picture is only ok, when scenes are dark, people, figures, are very hard to see, not nearly as sharp or bright and colorful as in 4K, in the store

as people below have mentioned you can explain the reason that PM retain there value is because it can't be counterfeited.
Good job though.
That homework is a great illustration of how much the fed had devalued the currency. and it doesn't even factor in that those products should be cheaper due to increased efficiency.

In Iranian culture, Haji Firouz is the traditional herald of the Nowruz season. Wearing black make-up and a red costume, Haji Firouz sings and dances through the streets with tambourines and trumpets spreading good cheer and the news of the coming New Year.
Haji Firouz is also called Khawja Piruz, Khawja means master and Piruz/Firuz means successful. Haji in here is just a form of address and has nothing to do with Islamic hajj, like using 'sir' to address a gentleman in English without the person being a real 'Sir' in the technical sense.
These photos show "Haji Firouz" cheering up the people in the streets of the city of Shiraz in southern Iran..

COLUMBIA — An artist, a businessman, a teacher and a jeweler — Kenneth Greene plays many roles.
"I'm playing the whole time," he said from behind the cluttered jeweler's bench in his store, Monarch Jewelry, 1019 E. Walnut St.
He's been making jewelry for decades and has had a presence in town since 1979. He creates custom pieces and restores jewelry for customers.
"When I really get going creatively is when I start making things for the case. And that's when I try to remember what really sold," he said. Equating selling jewelry to fishing, he said his most popular pieces have been "bass lures," shiny metal earrings that draw people in. It helps, he said, if these pieces are red or blue.
For Greene, making the decision between red and blue — or left and right, or mid-ground and foreground — is what constitutes creativity.
"Most people try to make more of it than it is. It's just doing something," he said. "Art is about making decisions. That's creativity. It's not rocket science."
He also teaches an introductory art class and jewelry-making at William Woods University in Fulton, where he's served as an adjunct professor since 1989. He said teaching is like walnut farming.
"Your crop doesn't come in for about 25 years, but you've got to have the patience and the faith that it's going to happen," he said. "Here I am, practicing stuff I was taught 20 years ago."

Hitch 4 found, almost, all of our group up Icicle Road once more in the heart of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area. Six team members, with one team consisting of Jesse, Erich, and Kenny and the other comprised of Nate, Austin, and myself headed up Chatter Creek trail on Day 1 together and split off at the end of the day to begin our separate itineraries. Levi and Susin returned to Ingalls Creek to inventory Falls Creek, which had been aborted the hitch before. Jesse's team camped at Lake Edna, while our team continued onto Ladies Pass. Their team faced a minor hiccup when on Day 2 they discovered the GPS device, a required item for wilderness monitoring, had been left at the truck at the trailhead and so they completed a brutal roundtrip to recover it. On Day 3 they were able to inventory Index Creek Loop, where they encountered "luxury" horse campers for the first time in the season.
On the first day, Nate, Austin, and I were treated to awesome vistas as the sun set as we made our way over Ladies Pass and we continued on a couple of miles further to Upper Florence Lake, which served as our base camp for the next few days. Our hikes in the area over the next few days were to neighboring lakes, but the "bushwhacking" was beautiful as we clambered around in alpine meadows in their peak wildflower season and along ridgelines which provided panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. The lakes over the next few days were particularly memorable. Lake Alice was the perfect temperature for a lunchtime swim. Lower Florence Lake was a scramble down cliffs and was obviously rarely visited, so the fish were particularly unconcerned with our presence and we also stumbled across an occupied bear den. On the day before our resupply day we hiked over Frosty Pass, which featured more gorgeous scenery, and a great view of Glacier Peak and onto Lake Margaret which had the memorable element of a beautiful waterfall providing the inlet to the lake.
On Day 5 the entire team met up at the Lake Wenatchee bunkhouses to resupply and debrief about the next phase of Hitch 4. Unfortunately, Erich revealed that he was injured and would be unable to complete the rest of the hitch. Susin, graciously, joined Kenny and Jesse's team so that they would be able to complete the rest of their manifest. Levi stayed in the front country to help Erich seek medical attention and the remaining six corps members headed up Icicle Creek Trail to once again split up at the end of Day 6 to complete our separate manifests. Kenny's team base camped on Icicle Creek and completed the inventorying of Lorraine and Leland Lakes and Levi joined up with the crew on Day 7. Austin, Nate, and I spent the next few days attempting to inventory Square Lake and exploring our options for reaching the numerous surrounding lakes. Square Lake was particularly difficult to reach as a burn area has wiped out all trace of the trail for the steepest section of the journey. An elevation gain that should have taken under an hour on a trail took our team nearly 4 hours of scrambling to summit. Square Lake had the most administrative features of any of the lakes we inventoried this summer, including concrete walkway along the outlet and a helicopter pad, which is highly ironic, as it appeared we were the first people to successfully reach Square Lake this season. Levi joined me, Austin, and Nate on the morning of Day 9, as the other team had hiked out early that morning and we all reconvened at the bunkhouses after one of our fullest hitches thus far.

lying on the side of the road. But this one was. Read it below. It was written in blue ink and pencil on a piece of ruled notebook paper. dated May 29, 1996 Chris, Hey baby what's up? Well here not much, just here thinking about you like always! Babe, I really really really love you with all my heart! And I promise I won't cheat behind your back. I could never be with anyone else besides you. I promise that every chance I get I'll write to you, okay? Man, babe, I don't think I could last 8 weeks without you, I can't even last 1 second wihthout you. No one else could ever take your place. Babe, please try to keep out of trouble while I'm gone. I don't want anything to happen to you! Take care of yourself. I really don't want you drinking, but you probably will since I won't be here to know what you're doing. Babe, I never want to loose (sic) you, that's why I don't like for you to drink. I'm really really going to miss you! dated May 30, 1996 Well babe, I guess I won't be writing to you those kinds of stuff because after what happened last night. Babe, if you really want to break-up with me just tell me. Like I said before, I never want to loose (sic) you. You mean everything in the world to me. Last night I stayed up all night long thinking about what I would do without you. To tell you the truth I really didn't know if it was real or just a dream, I really wished it was a dream. Chris, while I'm in San Marcos, you could do whatever you want (I really don't want you to but I'm not going to be here to konw what you're doing). I really don't write nice in pencil so I'll write in pen now. Chris, if you are going t be with another girk, make sure I don't find out. Okay? And I promise I'll never be with another guy again. I thought seeing you with another girl hurt me but when you you told me you wanted to break-up with me, that hurt me the most. I'm so sorry. I should have told you the truth. But like I said if you want to break up then tell me before I leave. I never thought I would fall in love with you. I'm so glad you gave me an extra chance. I don't konw what I would have done if you broke-up with me. Well, I don't want to bore you anymroe than what I already did, so bye! Love always, Yvette p.s. - w/b and take care casey spj |

He then offers advice that King consider moving to New York, where the political environment is right for promoting ambitious programs and his leadership ability would be able to shine. |
Facing the Challenge of a New LifeDr. King uses Greek Philosophy, the Christian conception of agape love, and the need for nonviolent resistance as a guideline of "Facing the Challenge of a New Life" in America. Throughout the sermon, he encourages African Americans to remain committed to the nonviolent principles of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the precepts of Christian living to facilitate the birth of a new way of life in an America dealing with violent conflicts over social conditions. |

About the Book
Gamelan Music of Indonesia is an introduction to the familiar music from Southeast Asia's largest country — both as sound and cultural phenomenon. An archipelago of over 17,000 islands, Indonesia is a melting pot of Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences. Despite this diversity, it has forged a national culture, one in which music plays a significant role. Gamelan music, in particular, teaches us much about Indonesian values and modern-day life. Focus on Gamelan Music of Indonesia provides an introduction to present-day Javanese, Balinese, Cirebonese, and Sundanese gamelan music through ethnic, social, cultural, and global perspectives.
- Part One, Music and Southeast Asian History, provides introductory materials for the study of Southeast Asian music.
- Part Two, Gamelan Music in Java and Bali, moves to a more focused overview of Gamelan music in Indonesia.
- Part Three, Focusing In, takes an in-depth look at Sundanese gamelan traditions, as well modern developments in Sundanese music and dance.
The accompanying CD offers vivid examples of traditional Indonesian gamelan music.

Definition of "Yacht"
My wife and daughter asked, "When is a sailboat a yacht? Does the word "yacht" apply to a particular size, or level of accomodation, or design?" I didn''t know the answer, so I''m relaying these questions to the collective wisdom of this forum.
BTW, I thought if the boat has a galley, a permanent head, and sleeping space for the whole family, then most likely it could be called a "yacht". ~ Happy sails to you ~ _/) ~ |
Definition of "Yacht"
A "Yacht" is any boat bigger than yours.

I think a lot of people are going to think of a yacht in varying terms.
Here''s mine. A yacht is a recreational boat (you don''t see a lot of shrimp yachts or cargo yachts) and size does count, but where? So sure, toss in a requirement for a galley, head and a berth (that''ll keep Sunfish from being ''yachts). Some say the minimum size for a ''yacht'' is 35'', but I''ve seen some Flickas below 30'' that I''d call proper yachts, so I''d keep anything out that was trailerable. Remember, this is ONLY an opinion. If you want to call your Macgregor 26 a yacht, go ahead. |
Definition of "Yacht"
Well I am curious as well. So I looked up the definition in Webster''s dictionary.
A light and elegantly furnished vessel, used either for private parties of pleasure, or as a vessel of state to convey distinguished persons from one place to another; a seagoing vessel used only for pleasure trips, racing, etc. So I guess if you race and you can call ypour boat seagoing it is a yacht. Now all you have to define is what is seagoing ... |
Definition of "Yacht"
All romance aside, the term ''Yacht'' simply applies to any pleasure craft of any size. As a term in proper nautical use it is solely a way of distinguishing between working craft and pleasure craft. Coloquially it has taken on a lot of baggage but that has little relevance to the actual proper marine definition.

Definition of "Yacht"
I agree with the definition of Jeff H. For over 20 years, the definition I have seen used by sailing texts has been, simply, "any pleasure boat." But, dictionary definitions change. Contemporary definitions, which are compiled by linguists, rather than by sailors, seem to suggest that small pleasure boats are not yachts. I think that is an elitist distinction that most sailors would find repugnant. I prefer to think that all pleasure boats are yachts, and if I want to distinguish them, size-wise, I can refer to them as small yachts, medium-sized yachts, and large yachts. If any linguists are tuned into the forum, leave our nautical lingo alone. It might seem antiquated to you, but we like it just as it is.
