Lela Mae Moore Dunston of Raleigh was a courageous advocate, passionately arguing that she and the other victims of the state's forced sterilization program should be compensated. She died July 9, shortly after hearing that the state Senate had let the strong push to compensate fizzle.
Dunston was just 63 when she died from longstanding health problems. Other victims, such as 79-year-old Willis Lynch of
Dunston's death should stand for something. It should be a clarion call for Gov. Bev Perdue to spend her last weeks in office pushing the state legislature to finally help these hurting and dying victims, if not before she leaves office, at least in January as the legislature reconvenes.
Charmaine Fuller Cooper, the former head of Perdue's foundation on compensation, told me that Dunston was very important in the compensation fight. She'd called Dunston in the hospital to let her know about the bad news from the Senate. "She was not happy at all," Cooper said.
The story of Dunston's sterilization is tragic. But as Cooper noted, her story is not that different from many other victims of the state's program.
She was 13. She lived with her mother in
Like most victims, Dunston had no idea that what happened to her was part of a nationwide movement. Finally, a few years ago, she read about the state sterilization program in a newspaper. She tracked down state records that confirmed she was one of the more than 7,600 victims of the program that, by zeroing in on black women and girls like her in its last years, was genocide.
"I didn't understand it," Dunston told me. "They just went on and did what they wanted to do. Chopped on us like we were animals."
For 10 years, politicians have made lame promises of help, despite passionate pushing by Rep. Larry Womble of
The program, supported by prominent families and doctors here and in other parts of the state, was as much about thinning the welfare rolls as it was about "bettering society." Dunston was termed "mildly retarded" as the justification for sterilization. She emphasized to me that she wasn't mentally handicapped.
The mental evaluations were often based on flawed intelligence testing. Other victims were sterilized for reasons including epilepsy, blindness or rumors of promiscuity.
Petitions to sterilize often contained more racism and class prejudice than hard facts. The petition to sterilize Dunston said that she and her mother "live in an area that has a low socio-economic level." Dunston was described as "a rather alert little Negro girl" who "wore a very ragged sweater and her hair literally stood on end all over her head."
That was "a bunch of baloney," Dunston told me.
In the early 1960s, as Gov. Terry Sanford was leading
Dunston said she didn't know what the operation was about. "I was only 13. Thirteen years old, you don't know nothing about this kind of mess. You're a child yourself."
The members of the eugenics board, despite rarely meeting their targets, usually rubberstamped petitions for sterilization.
Dunston never consented to her operation. When she got the paperwork, Dunston realized that her mother gave the consent. The petition notes that the family was on welfare. Social workers pushing sterilization would often tell families that their payments would end if they didn't consent.
Dunston was a survivor.
Cooper said that Dunston "faced a lot of problems, from struggling to find housing in a safe neighborhood to getting transportation to medical appointments … Mrs. Dunston really had to struggle for everything she needed. And she wasn't asking for a handout. She was trying to make do with what she had."
Dunston once told me this: "I just want them to compensate me, that's all. They did this to us."
How many more victims have to die waiting for the state to do the right thing?

No reviews written for this product
This is the longest lasting (don't you want to be), won't smack-you-in-the-face (hate that douche at the office), suits any mood (board meeting on to drinks on to chippy shop back to the office on to dinner with friends), brilliant fragrance I've purchased in/for years. For those who enjoy Eternity, with its subtle notes, pleasant aroma, soft enough to say "I love you" but manly enough to not eat the damned flower petals in the salad course, you will thoroughly enjoy Jaguar Pure Instinct. Also, I drive a Jaguar, so I'm not just being pretentious.

Text Search (Beta) in MongoDB 2.4
Norberto Leite, Senior Solutions Architect, MongoDB
Search is the primary interface for navigating data in many applications. MongoDB's native, real-time Text Search simplifies development and deployment for MongoDB users with stemming and tokenization in 15 languages.
Logging & Analytics with MongoDB
Shay Asher, Cisco
In this session we will discuss optimizing MongoDB for time series logging, online querying, filtering and pattern matching.
Finding a Pub with MongoDB 2.4 Geo Features
Gregor Macadam, Engineer, MongoDB
There were significant enhancements to the geospatial indexing capabilities in MongoDB 2.4 such as polygon intersections, a more accurate spherical model, and better integration with MongoDB's aggregation framework. In this talk, we will explore these new features and how they can be used in both theoretical and practical examples.
Building Spring Data with MongoDB
Shimi Bandiel, CTO, Trainologic
Spring Data is a framework that provides an abstraction over your data access layer. It provides support for many NoSQL and SQL frameworks. In this presentation, we will discuss the many features it offers when developing applications with MongoDB in Java.
Coffee Break
Hash-based Sharding
Marc Schwering, Solutions Architect, MongoDB
In version 2.4, MongoDB introduces hash-based sharding, a new option for distributing data in sharded collections. Hash-based sharding and range-based sharding present different advantages for MongoDB users deploying large scale systems. In this talk, we'll provide an overview of this new feature and discuss when to use hash-based sharding or range-based sharding.
MongoDB Indexing Constraints and Creative Schemas
Christopher Winslett, MongoHQ
The first step to understanding scaling with MongoDB is understanding the constraints of the system. We will build out the constraints of MongoDB indexing. Then, we will talk about how to use these constraints to optimize schema.
Data Processing and Aggregation Options
Norberto Leite, Senior Solutions Architect, MongoDB
MongoDB scales easily to store mass volumes of data. However, when it comes to making sense of it all what options do you have? In this talk, we'll take a look at 3 different ways of aggregating your data with MongoDB, and determine the reasons why you might choose one way over another. No matter what your big data needs are, you will find out how MongoDB the big data store is evolving to help make sense of your data.
MongoDB for platform services: the Advantage of using NoSQL in Generic Services
Lior Malenboim, Co-Founder and CEO, Applicasa
In this session, we will speak about Applicasa and what we do, how we did it with SQL and how hard it was and how we are doing it with Mongo and how easy it is, showing the power of mongoDB on the server combined with SQLite on the mobile phone.
Please join us for light drinks and refreshments, as well as networking with 10gen engineers and other MongoDB professionals.

"Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

"We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

CARSON, Calif. – Another must-win match against C.S. Herediano for Marcelo Sarvas and another win for a Sarvas-led team.
A year-and-three-months after leading L.D. Alajuelense past Herediano to win the Costa Rican Invierno title, Sarvas bested Herediano again as he helped the LA Galaxy to a 4-1 aggregate victory over The Florenses in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals.
Partnered alongside Juninho, Sarvas and the Galaxy midfield controlled the midfield against a cagey Herediano side that was eager to find an away goal after going down in the 18th minute. Although the score line was an unflattering for the Costa Ricans, Sarvas lauded LA's opponents, but don't expect him to get any free drinks from Herediano fans during any future to Costa Rica.
"I think Herediano had a good game today. They had a good team; they made it hard for us. They make our result seem much more important because they played hard. They have a good team. I'm happy to beat Herediano and I'm happy to win with the Galaxy that is the most important."
Now as the club looks towards a date with two-time defending CCL champion Monterrey in the semifinals, Sarvas is aiming to do what he can to lead LA to the final.
"We're in the semifinals against a Mexican team and setting a new history," said Sarvas. "Everyone wants to play and we expect good things."
CARSON, Calif. -- Yet another stellar performance is in the books for LA Galaxy Homegrown forward Jose Villarreal.
The 19-year-old bagged a stellar goal as he helped the Galaxy advance to the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals for the first time in club history with a 4-1 victory over C.S. Herediano.
For more on Villarreal's performance, read my sidebar here.
Villarreal wasn't the only young forward to score as fellow Homegrown product Jack McBean added LA's fourth goal in second half stoppage time. After a stellar performance by LA's young forwards, Galaxy captain Robbie Keane admitted that he was pleased with his young charges and their willingness to take chances towards goal.
"Of course," said Keane. "During training or when we're playing, I tell them all the time, I tell them to shoot. Every opportunity that you have in front of the goal, unless it's very plain that you can see that someone is in a better position, but if not, have a shot on goal. If you don't shoot then you don't score. You saw my goal there and probably seven times out of ten, the 'keeper makes a save, but if you don't know shoot you don't score."
During the MLS preseason media tour of New York, LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane took on his Chivas USA counterpart goalkeeper Dan Kennedy in a game of FIFA13. The results? Quite entertaining.
Check it out below....
There will be no change in ownership for the LA Galaxy as The Anschutz Company announced on Monday that it will retain ownership of Anschutz Entertainment Group and terminate any sales process. But that does not mean there will not be any change at the top.
Chairman of AEG Phillip F. Anschutz will be taking a more active role in the company. Meanwhile, AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke will be leaving the company by mutual agreement. Dan Beckerman, who has been with AEG for 15 years and has previously served as their Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer will be taking over for Leiweke.
Leiweke leaves quite the legacy in MLS as he was instrumental to helping the Galaxy acquire the likes of David Beckham and Robbie Keane.
"We appreciate the role Tim has played in the development of AEG, and thank him for the many contributions he has made to the Company. We wish him well in his new endeavors," Anschutz said in a press release.
With AEG officially off the market, Anschutz, who has been a major investor in MLS since the league's inception was quick to reiterate his commitment to the growth of his company.
"From the very beginning of the sales process, we have made it clear to our employees and partners throughout the world that unless the right buyer came forward with a transaction on acceptable terms we would not sell the Company" said Anschutz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Anschutz Company in a press release. "From the very first days of AEG, my vision has been to tie together world class real estate development structured around entertainment venues with premium sports and live entertainment content. In recent years we have developed related businesses to further promote and enhance the performance of AEG's facilities for the benefit of our partners, including our sponsors, artists, consumers and the communities in which we operate. The Company's operations will continue to be run by AEG's experienced senior executive team, most of whom have been with AEG for over a decade. We will continue to set the standards in the industries in which AEG operates, bringing our unique vision and development model to entertainment locations throughout the world."
Beckerman, who will take over for Leiweke as AEG's President and CEO offered these thoughts.
"Phil's active reengagement in the operations of the Company has brought a renewed spirit and passion to the management team's focus on AEG's next steps" Beckerman said in a statement. "The Company has a number of interesting business opportunities, and the expertise of the management team and our 26,000 employees around the world will allow us to select those prospects that best enhance the Company's performance. Priority projects going forward include the development of Farmers Field adjacent to our L.A. Live campus and the pursuit of our plan to bring the NFL back to Los Angeles, our recently announced initiative to collaborate with MGM to build a new arena in Las Vegas, the acquisition of ownership stakes and the associated refurbishment of several major global arenas in Europe and our ongoing investment in AXS.com, our ticketing and e-commerce platform, as we expand its capabilities for the benefit of our venues, partners, performers and consumer end-users."

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy are through to the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals for the first time in club history and waiting for them is two-time defending CCL champion Monterrey.
Los Rayados (the pinstripes) may currently be in 7th place in the 2013 Clausura, but they pose a major test for the Galaxy with their full assortment of stars including Chilean forward Humberto Suazo as well as Mexican Internationals Sevro Meza and Jesus Zavala, among others. Monterrey has been particularly skilled in the CCL as they knocked off Real Salt Lake in the 2011 final and then Santos Laguna in 2012.
As Galaxy's focus turns to the Mexican giants, their success is not lost on head coach Bruce Arena.
"Monterrey has been the best club team in our region for a number of years now," said They're the best team, they're the team to beat, so it's going to be a very big challenge for our club."
But perhaps, Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant put it best by stating that the match is not only important for the Galaxy, but for MLS as a whole.
"It's exciting, it's something that the league is looking to get over the hump with México and Seattle did a great job of winning their last series [against Tigres]. It's the first time that ever happened so we want to continue that," said Dunivant. "This is big for our league. We really want to continue to push the envelope and win our region then start being the dominating force in this region."
CARSON, Calif. –Carlo Cudicini saw his 264 minute shutout streak snapped, but the LA Galaxy's Italian goalkeeper was impressed by LA's defensive play in their 4-1 victory over Herediano to seal a berth into the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals.
Cudicini made just two saves on the night, but his first was vitally important as he swatted an Ismael Gomez free kick away in the eighth minute of play to keep the tie level. Just ten minutes later, Omar Gonzalez nodded in a Juninho corner and LA never looked back from there to seal the 4-1 victory.
Cudicini will look to extend LA's shutout streak in MLS play—which of course, stands at 90 minutes—during Sunday's SuperClásico against Chivas USA.
Below Cudicini discusses his partnership with the Galaxy back four…
(On his chemistry with the back four…)
CUDICINI: "We're working hard during the week to try and improve it. The more we play together, the more hopefully we can get results. I think we're doing all right, we're not conceding much, which is good. In front of me I have excellent players."
(On the partnership of Omar Gonzalez and Leonardo…)
CUDICINI: "They are doing a very good job. They're very concentrated, good personalities and that helps on the pitch. To be fair, whoever plays in front me, whether A.J. [DeLaGarza] or Omar, they're very good players. They're young but they have experience, they can read the game well. It's good."
(On his vocal nature…)
CUDICINI: "It's not just one thing; I try to keep them concentrated during the game. Especially when you're winning two-, three-nil your concentration tends to go a little bit. I just want to keep them on their toes. Mainly as a goalie want to try to have a good line in front of you, keep the defense compact, just try to help them as much as I can from behind. Which you hope is what they do it when you need help."
(On his adjustment to the Galaxy…)
CUDICINI: "I've said before, it's not a short process. It takes time, games, and training sessions. We're just at the beginning, and hopefully it will be even better in the future. We cannot think that because we are a good team, things will just come to us. We need to work hard. As you can see today, winning easily three nil, we just switched off for a second and we concede a goal. We always want to keep 100 percent concentration."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy became the fourth MLS team to advance to the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Costa Rican side C.S. Herediano on Wednesday evening.
My Three Points to the match can be found here.
A few notes:
*LA will take on Monterrey with the dates for the two-legged series still to be determined. What we do know is this: the first leg will take place at The Home Depot Center between April 2 and April 4 while the second leg will be at Monterrey's Estadio Tecnológico between April 9 and April 11.
*Attendance for the game was 8,284. The attendance was capped at 12,500 for the match due to the stadium's agreement with CSU-Dominguez Hills. It is worth mentioning that CSUDH will be on Spring Recess during the potential first leg dates, according to their school calendar, so no caps will be necessary.
*Jack McBean now has four goals in the competition and is tied for second among leading goalscorers.
*Elias Aguilar snapped the Galaxy's shutout streak at 264 minutes in all competitions.
CARSON, Calif. –The LA Galaxy needed an early goal in their decisive tie against C.S. Herediano and in the 18th minute, Omar Gonzalez obliged.
Gonzalez nodded home one of his trademark goals off a set piece by finishing a Juninho corner to put LA ahead and they never looked back. LA notched a 4-1 aggregate victory to become just the fourth MLS team to advance to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions League.
Below Gonzalez reflects on his play and his goal.
(On the play of the defense…)
GONZALEZ: "The defense has been playing very well. Everyone has a real good feeling for each other. Carlo been talking a lot with us, the organization is really good between us. To have one goal throughout the first three games is great, although we really wanted the shutout tonight. I think that was a soft goal we gave up, poor marking in the middle. Should have gotten closer to the cross."
(On Carlo Cudicini's influence…)
GONZALEZ: "I think he's just added the experience and also vocally. He's always chirping. He's always telling us what to do and reminding to get in the right position to put out fires before they even start. With that it makes the game a lot easier."
(On his goal against Herediano, a classic Omar goal…)
GONZALEZ: "I guess if I score a few more it can be a classic. Just one of those where Juninho puts it high enough for me, the guy marking me was maybe to my shoulders, so I should get one of those."
(On partnering with Leonardo in middle…)
GONZALEZ: "He's been incredible for us. I remember before he got hurt and we were having about five or six games together where we didn't lose. I think he's back, he's playing great, fits in well with the rest of the back line and I'm just happy he's healthy and we're playing well together."
(On how confident the team is…)
GONZALEZ: "I think we're flying pretty high. Overall, we've been playing pretty well since our season started and we're just going to take it game by game, not think too far into the future. Everyone's really happy tonight, getting to this round is great for our team and the organization, everyone's just really thrilled."
CARSON, Calif. -- We're just hours away from the decisive CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal second leg between the LA Galaxy and C.S. Herediano.
Below are selection of links, match-ups and predicted lineups to get you to kick off.
*Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena offered his thoughts on the CCL Quarterfinal Second Leg following Tuesday's practice.
*Marcelo Sarvas has traveled up from Central America to The Home Depot Center before and the Brazilian midfielder knows what to expect on Wednesday from Herediano.
*Could we see a forward partnership of Jose Villarreal and Robbie Keane? Possibly.
*LA will be focused on stopping two of Herediano's danger men Elias Aguilar and Ismael Gomez.
*LAGalaxy.com preview Larry Morgan provided this preview of the game.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the match.
Marcelo Sarvas vs. Elias Aguilar
Arguably the most important player match-up of the game will pit Sarvas against the dynamic Aguilar, who was responsible for creating the lion share of Herediano's attacks during the first leg. As Aguilar looks to spark counter-attacks, Sarvas will be tasked with covering plenty of ground on defense when the Costa Ricans do have opportunities to push forward. Positioning will be key for Sarvas -- and his midfield partner Juninho -- as the it could make the difference between a Herediano scoring chance and a Galaxy counter attack.
Robbie Keane vs. Pablo Salazar
Pablo Salazar enjoyed a strong game in the first leg against the Galaxy by making a team-high 10 clearances down at Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero, but he'll need another strong game against Robbie Keane in Southern California. Keane made several dangerous runs during the first leg, but routinely saw his guile disrupted by an unruly turf surface that stymied the Irishman. Following the Galaxy's final practice on Tuesday, Keane stated that had the conditions, not been substandard, he might have had more opportunities. Well, he'll get those chances at The Home Depot Center on Wednesday.
Galaxy speed vs. Herediano Bunker
The speed of play will be vital for both the LA Galaxy and C.S. Herediano during the CCL quarterfinal. From the get go, the Galaxy will look to play a high-tempo game and force the Costa Ricans out of their defensive stance while Herediano seeks to slow the game down and attack on the counter. If LA can maintain a high tempo than the Galaxy could create gaps in the Herediano defensive shape.
Referee: Walter López (Guatemala); AR1: Gerson López (GUA); AR2: Ronaldo de la Cruz (GUA); 4th: Óscar Reyna (GUA)
*Lopez last handled an LA Galaxy game in 2011 when LA defeated C.D. Motagua 1-0 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras to advance to the 2011/2012 CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals. He awarded two yellow cards.
Cudicini; DeLaGarza, Gonzalez, Leonardo, Dunivant; Franklin, Sarvas, Juninho, Magee; Villarreal, Keane
Cambronero; Obando, Salazar, Montero, Francis; Granados, Hernández, Gomez, Aguilar, Ramírez; Ruiz

Genevra Pittman visited the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City hoping to find a perfect companion for her cat Lulu. She succeeded, adopting a shy kitty named Wes. It didn't take long for Wes to break out of his shell and join the family. Pittman shared the following story with us:
In early August 2012, we came back to the ASPCA to look for a companion for our 5-year-old cat Lulu. She was getting a little crazy while we were at work all day and needed a companion.
After meeting with all the cats that were known to get along with other kitties, we decided to take a chance and go for a very shy little guy, whom we named Wes. The staff told us that Wes, just under a year old, was rescued from a hoarding situation and might always be shy.
At first, Wes was so shy and scared that we lost track of him when he crawled into spots in our bedroom we didn't know existed. He would shake uncontrollably if he didn't have a shelter to hide in.
Slowly, Wes became more adventurous: He'd take a few steps out of his hiding spot, look around, and then retreat. Within a few days, Wes tried to escape the bedroom to explore the apartment. He rubbed against our legs and played with a catnip ball. He found quiet spots around the apartment to nap, and tried to steal Lulu's food.
Now, Wes never forgets to remind us when it's dinner time. Sometimes he'll nap while being cradled like a baby and scratched under the chin. He loves attention, cuddling, sleeping on our bed, waiting outside the bathroom door while we shower and kicking a tin foil ball madly around the living room. Sometimes he chases himself around the apartment and gets Lulu to play along. Our shoes are never where we left them when we get home because he uses them to hide behind when he's found something—usually a ball—to pounce on.
Wes seems to have found a home where he feels safe and happy, and we couldn't be happier to have him.
I have never had the opportunity to adopt from a shelter sine all my dogs and cats have been strays I took home. Ruby is a staffie. She was roaming in my neighborhood hungry and thirsty. I proceeded to find her owners unsuccessfully. Ruby was pregnant and riddled with worms, including heart worms. She had 7 puppies, all healthy and beautiful. I placed them all with the exception of Sadie, a Mama's girl. Both have been with me for 6 years now. Ruby is sweet, gentle with people and children. She likes my two small dogs. She enjoys bathing in the sun and has a look of adoration when she looks at me. It is true she does not like outside pets but I have never regretted taking her and Sadie in. Neighbors who said "I was courageous" have no idea what they are talking about. I always try to have them meet people who do not know them to show them how sweet they are.
I love to read stories like this! It just goes to show you that there is hope for almost every animal that has been abused! All it takes is love a good home and lots of patience!
What super people to take Wes home and give him a chance to thrive! From our local no-kill shelter, my husband and I have adopted many special needs kitties, older little ladies and gentlemen and those who, like Wes, may need a while to show their true personalities. We love baby kittens, of course, who doesn't, but there is something special about adopting an older kitty, one who really needs you or the one who may not shine as brightly as the others and watch each one blossom. Their sweet gratitude and complete love are incomparable.
Total <3 for that gorgeous orange dreamsicle! :) And major kudos to Wes' family for taking him in and loving him - despite his "issues."
This is such a beautiful story that it just made me cry.
I wish there were more people like Mrs. Pittman. I wish people would realize that kittens , although adorable, grow up to be cats, and that they are not perfect, but still have feelings and a heartbeat like we do., and that they need to be spayed and neutered and people need to realize this before adopting them.I wish people would realize that when they abandon a cat , that the cat can't "fend fro himself". He has been used to being fed and doesn't understand why he's being abandoned or know what to do. My heart cries every time I hear of an abandoned cat.
I love to hear stories like this because I love to win over the ones that others seem to not want. Ms. Pittman you are awesome for taking in "Wes".
I'm so happy for Wes & his family! My first cat was Tigerlady, an orange cat that looked a lot like Wes, then we got Murphy, who was also orange. Anytime I see a cat like Wes, I'm extra happy for the famiy that got him. I'm so glad he is comfy & happy in his new home! Good for him! God bless Genevra & her family!

Cath & Henry (Club Member) stayed Sep 2014 This review is for Minehead Although the route to the campsite is a little challenging along very narrow roads through Minehead, it is well worth the journey. We were warmly welcomed to this very beautifully located campsite. The facilities were clean and the campsite was very peaceful and quiet. There are plenty of lovely walks in the area and Minehead is an hour's (slow) walk down the hill (take a taxi back if the road is too steep). Some of the pitches are on sloping ground.

They have clearly worked hard to get it to and maintain it at this standard. We had a good laugh with them too. A credit to the club! We found the site easy to find and the roads leading to were tight, but worth the effort. This is a brilliant site to visit if you want to get away from it and stretch your legs. It's easy enough to walk into Minehead and find the SW Coast path start point. We didn't have enough time to explore more but will return as Porlock looks a village that needs a visit on foot, not passing through on the bus... Toilets, showers, washing up etc all as you'd want to find them. Ground care all above standard. It is out of town, which is part of the attraction. You will need to be moderately fit to walk down to Minehead and pretty fit to walk back up. Ask for taxi details if you leave on foot. It's definitely one that we'll be going back to...

John G. (Club Member) stayed Jan 2014 This review is for Minehead Had a good couple of nights in this motor home only site. The site is perfectly position and run very well, with a perfect view of the sea and an easy walk to the town centre. A major flaw with the site is that some of the hard standings are not level, not just a one block levelling exercise but unless you have extra chocks and a strong clutch you will have to live on a slope. Which the fridge does not like, perhaps this winter our club could find a man with a JCB to scrape the hard standings level. As this is a motor home only site we can't level as easy as a caravan so a bit of effort to level the pitches would seem a necessary project.

I'm sorry, Mia. I should have included CanZen's response to my question about his belief regarding afterlife so you could understand the thread. This is what he said, "Once death comes the anihilistic force destroys the holistic nature of being . . . and nothing remains." Since this belief cannot be based on fact, it is clear CanZen has made a conscious choice to believe he will be annihilated.
I don't understand why I must keep repeating myself. When you say, "...you're editing the word of God in order to make it meet your own higher standard of behavior" you are implying the Bible is the word of God, a concept which I have argued at least twice is not true.
CanZen, you say, "If you do indeed (as a believing theist) have a choice, well that choice is between a heavenly eternity or a hellish one, the choice cannot be one between annihilation or afterlife." That my friend, is a statement of faith. Welcome to my world!
Traditional Judeo/Christian thought teaches there is a heaven and a hell. That is simply linear thinking in a non-linear world. I stand by my statement that our choice is eternal life or annihilation. Heaven is a quaint concept. Think about it: you live one short life on earth, then boom—you're cool for eternity. Is that consistent with the evolutionary nature of the universe as it has been revealed to you?
I say again, in order to understand me, you must be willing to utterly abandon all those primitive notions about what religion is. Don't you see that you are limiting yourselves to what others (others you don't respect no less) tell you religion is?
CanZen, you say,
"Then finally you list his [Jesus'] credentials and I quote, "his unconditional love for each of us, loving us both as a brother and as a father; his dignity, his kindness, his compassion, his patience, his tolerance, his grace, his understanding, his wisdom, his courage, his faith in each of us; that majestic leadership." Wow, what a list! Where did you find all these wonderful traits? Since you see the New Testament in the same light as you view the Old (as a work of primitives), you obviously did not get these perfected characteristics from the scriptures. So where did you find evidence for all this?"
CanZen, why do you insist on finding knowledge only from material sources? Faith is the evidence of things not seen. It is through faith one is able to develop those majestic characteristics, and they are attainable by all. They are ours for the taking.
Ted, you write:
The only item I wonder about is whether you are implying we are, in our current state, sons and daughters of God. I submit that we are "created", which implies something different from the Creator. Jesus was "begotten, not created" which implies sameness (giving clues to the meaning of the Trinity, i.e., three-in-one). I think we are striving for sonship (daughtership), and have been provided the model for achieving it.
This is my understanding, Ted: We are all sons and daughters of God, whether or not we understand that, appreciate it, or even reject it. Our quest is to become as Godlike (perfect) as possible, and Jesus is our perfect example. "Begotten, not created" was intended to reveal that Jesus' material being evolved as did any other human's, through sexual reproduction. (Which is inconsistent, by the way, with the concept of immaculate conception.)

The normally bright and colorful screens of sweepstakes machines were dimmed throughout Kinston and Lenoir County Thursday as a statewide ban on the electronic games took effect.
Operators of sweepstakes games had challenged a 2010 state law banning the games, which allow customers to purchase phone minutes or Internet time at various businesses, and then play electronic games on machines or computers in the hopes of winning cash prizes.
The N.C. Supreme Court upheld the law, and cleared the way for the state to enforce its ban — WRAL CBS 5 reported Thursday morning sweepstakes operators had taken their case to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the justices had not responded before the state law took effect.
Several local sweepstakes operations were closed Thursday, including Lucky Bucks Sweepstakes on N.C. 11 North, Pete's Place on U.S. 258 North and Neuse Internet Café in the Kinston Pointe shopping center on U.S. 70 West.
Maurice Graham and Jason Narron of Kinston drove up to the darkened front of the Neuse Internet Café Thursday afternoon, hoping to play a few quick games.
They were disappointed to hear that, not only the Neuse Internet Café was closed, but sweepstakes had been banned across North Carolina.
"That's just devastating!" Graham exclaimed.
Graham, who said he is a regular customer at Neuse Internet Café, said the winnings have often helped pay his bills.
"It's a great thing to keep people occupied," he said of sweepstakes.
Narron said his winnings also help with his expenses.
"We've been down to our last $5, and I know I've walked out of a sweepstakes place with about $600," he said.
Sweepstakes machines can also be found at local convenience stores, but at least two operators shut their machines down Thursday.
Bhanubhi Nakrani, owner of the Cmart 10 store at Hull and Rouse roads, and his son Gautam Vasoya, said about eight to 10 people a day use the two sweepstakes machines at the store.
Nakrani said the company which owns the machines took the software out of them, and they were dark Thursday.
"About 40 to 45 percent of the whole day's business is the (N.C. Education) Lottery," Vasoya said.
The two machines set up at the Spinx convenience store on North Queen Street were turned to face the wall, and bore signs stating "No more sweepstakes!"
"I don't think it will stop the flow for us, given that we have so much more going on," General Manager Kim Davis said.
Spinx sells a variety of items, including Marathon-brand gasoline, snacks, drinks, household items, tobacco products, Lottery tickets and more — similar items are sold at Cmart.
Customer Service Representative Novella Pollock said customers could pay for phone minutes and then play the sweepstakes games — Davis said Spinx staffers are staying in contact with local law enforcement to determine the final outcome of sweepstakes operations.
Sweepstakes operators are still working to find ways to remain in business and not lay off their many employees.
One option is using "pre-reveal software," which allows the player to see the prize in advance, WRAL reported.
"We have not received any guidance as of right now from the Attorney General's office as to whether pre-reveal software falls under the video sweepstakes law," said Chris Hill, chief deputy of the Lenoir County Sheriff's Office.
Hill said law enforcement officials were "waiting on guidance from Raleigh" regarding the pre-reveal software.
He noted a case could be built and enforcement action taken against anyone operating a sweepstakes machine without pre-reveal software, though.
Kinston Public Safety Director Bill Johnson said city police were also seeking guidance from the Attorney General's office before taking enforcement action.
"We have visited the facilities that are within the city limits and just made sure they were aware of the decision from the courts," Johnson said.
He noted the majority of facilities were closed, and in one that was open, "we discussed the statute with them and asked them to pass it along to their manager."
Back at the Neuse Internet Café, Kinston resident Greg Dunk walked past the café and other shops while patronizing Kinston Pointe Thursday.
He said he had followed the sweepstakes issue in the news and supported the ban.
"I wouldn't mess with that, any of that fly-by-night stuff, what I call those get-rich-quick type of machines," he said. "I'm a construction worker and I work too hard for my money."

Comments about DT Swiss 350 Rear Hub:
I love these hubs.
On my first wheel build I purchased DT Swiss 240s hubs and thought I would give these a shot for my 2nd wheel build.
After using these hubs I don't see the extra value of the 240s over these. They both have the same star ratchet (the 36pt upgrade is a cheap and worthwhile upgrade) and the rear hub is easily convertible to multiple axle standards.
Sure the 240s weigh a bit less, but I have never been able to tell the difference.
These may not be flashy or have super high engagement points but they work very well, are very durable, and very easy to service.

Comments about DT Swiss 350 Rear Hub:
I have been ridding on a DT Swiss 350 rear hub for about 6 months, it has been reliable and pretty stiff overall. I have upgraded to the 36 point star ratchet rings which is a huge help for the engagement. The hub is also compatible with the 240 142x12 thru axle end caps. Overall it is a great hub for the money.

Peer Reviewed Proceedings
Tax Rate Preferences, Understanding the Effects of Perceived and Actual Current Tax Assessments
Peggy A. Hite
Results from prior research on rate preferences are problematic in that tax rate preferences provided by taxpayers are typically based on the average rates. The present study reports several measures of progressivity to better understand what aspect of progressivity is driving the responses (e.g., the lowest marginal rate, the highest rate, the spread of rates, the slope..). In addition, this study examines the effect of knowing what actual status quo tax assessments are. The results indicate that while status quo tax assessments lead to lower tax preferences compared to subjects without status quo information, those tax assessments are still significantly higher than the given status quo information. The implication is that average Federal income tax liabilities under current law may be much lower than most taxpayers realize, as media coverage highlights marginal tax rates, not average tax rates. If true, then knowledge of actual assessments may improve taxpayer perceptions about the fairness of current tax rates. Our data suggest this is true.
