20-inch Freestanding Barrier 321 349
barrier gate I bought this gate for the safety of my greyhound as an added barrier in case the front door is open. The locks are good because they're not the squeeze kind of locks,which the occasional dog can figure out can be opened with his teeth! The locks are simple,but I can't see how a dog can open them. I'd recommend it and have. (only thing is,not it's on sale and I only just put mine together after buying it at the regular price!) February 12, 2010
Wonderful purchase I wish I had done this sooner. I had trouble with my dogs during rain and snow using our diningroom rug as a personal potty. Now I no longer have to worry. The freestanding barrier is beautiful and fits in so well with our house. It actually is very nice to look at. I don't mind having it there at all. I highly recommend this for anyone with small dogs. it really is great if you have open rooms. February 10, 2010
This is a very sturdy and nice looking gate. I purchased the taller gate also which i like even better. It would be nice to have this same style taller and width the same as the 20" gate. I have 3 rotties and they can jump the 20 " gate but it is in a place where I just wanted to block off a room. They have learned to respect the gate. Our taller gate is very sturdy and they can't get over or through it. It blocks our livingroom from the foyer so visitors don't have to get bombarded when they come in. It keeps the dogs from scratching the door also. The walls don't have holes because the gate is freestanding. February 9, 2010
Best gate! I love the look and size of the gate. Easy to move and walk over if you have to. I have received many compliments on the look of my gate. January 29, 2010
Best color choice The heavy duty bronze gates blend beautifully with decor and look far superior to more expensive but cheaper looking wooden gates. The bronze gates are much more elegant looking than gold, brass, white, or light wood gates sold by other companies. This is the only company that sells this color. Very pleased. January 22, 2010
Perfect solution The opening between my living and family rooms was too wide for any standard pet store gate. Even though this gate was expensive, it was wide enough to keep my dog out of the living room, so I decided to give it a try. It has a quality appearance, and is sturdy, and has solved my problem. January 14, 2010
Excellent product We have used a variety of different pet gates over the years but wanted one that would look good in our home that did not need to be installed in a wall. This gate is tall enough to keep our dogs contained and the walk-through door is very easy to use. Much safer than stepping over lower gates. The metal is finished with a contemporary bronze look so it does not look institutional but is heavy-duty so the gate can't be knocked over and dogs won't chew on it. There is some assembly required. We had a couple panels in the wrong place or upside down but with so few parts it was easy to tell how to fix our mistake. January 1, 2010
No regrets on this purchase These gates do the job of keeping our dogs off the carpet and are not an eye sore like most white plastic gates. Blend in well with our warm decor. December 29, 2009
Saved the tree Our 10 month old cocker cannot keep her mouth off anything new. To save our tree, we blocked the room with the barrier. Works great! We can see the tree but she can't get to it. It looks nice, too. December 17, 2009
Stylish Solution Our pug was jumping over our 21" pet gate and this 36" fence and gate is not only attractive in our home, it offers solid construction and a high quality gate for ease in use. This gate has brought calm to our home again! December 14, 2009
excellent dog barrier I searched the web for a few weeks trying to find a pet gate tall enough that my 50 lb. shep. mix could not jump over and that my 30 lb. puppy could not climb. I also wanted something that looked pretty in my home. This gate is perfect, it fits an irregular shaped entry into my kitchen where I keep the dogs when I don't want them roaming free. It is pretty and was easy to assemble. Thus far my 50 lb dog stands up against it, but he cannot push it down. I love it. I might purchase another to block off the laundry room. December 10, 2009
20" Freestanding Barrier This is a wonderful product and very well made. Blends in beautifully with any decor and does not look like an institutional dog gate. December 5, 2009
Great product This product is great in preventing our 14 year old dog from going downstairs to our finished lower level...and yet at a convenient height to allow us to easily and safely step over it onto the floor prior to going down the stairs. It is attractive, sturdy and doesn't require anchoring to our stairway posts or the wall...and has no gate to open and close everytime we go up and down the stairs. It has been a perfect solution for us! December 3, 2009
Best choice-highly recommended This gate is exactly what I was looking for. It is attractive and well made. I have 3 dogs, one standard poodle, a standard pom, and a chihuahua, and they love it too! December 3, 2009
Does the trick... We have a wide hallway connecting the dining room and the family room (where the baby plays). So while I love my dog, my wife hates dog hair on the baby even more…this product fit the bill – a sturdy, moveable barrier that works well with the décor. Love the fact I didn't have to drill holes or attach anything to the walls! December 2, 2009
Best dog gate ever This dog gate is the best we have ever used! It is beautiful, easy to move, and versatile. We had purchased one, and loved it so much, we bought another to use in another room. The gate does not harm walls or floors, yet it is heavy enough to keep our dogs from trying to move it. The gate is easy for people to step over or move out of the way. Very well made and durable. December 1, 2009
Great gate! Had trouble finding a gate wide enough to go across our kitchen area that didn't need to be screwed into the wall/cabinets.... This gate is wide enough and looks great too! November 27, 2009
Excellent product Looks great, perfect height, easy to pass through, well made, sturdy, works well and was a good choice. November 13, 2009
Simply Perfect This is such an attractive barrier. It is easy for us to fold, to move and for the two-legged folks to step over. November 11, 2009
Cool Barrier Sturdy, beautiful & the assembly was truly "mild". November 11, 2009
Very nice piece We really enjoy our new gate. It looks beautiful in our home and is very functional. It does a great job keeping our little rescue animals safe and sound. November 10, 2009
Great Gates for my little dog I have a 5 month old mini dachshund and needed gates to keep her contained while I work during the day, so I don't have to chase all over the house after her. These gates are great quality. They are very easy to assemble, sturdy and look very nice. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a small breed dog. October 21, 2009
Great product; great service This product is great. This is the fourth freestanding pet barrier we have purchased from Frontgate, as we have two homes. They work perfectly, but even more importantly, they are beautiful to look at. Most pet barriers are ugly and you would want to hide them when guests are coming. These are a lovely addition. The service at Frontgate is top notch as well. Thanks for your high-end merchandise with online convenience. October 8, 2009
Outstanding Purchase We received our new gate in a very timely fashion. According to my husband who was the installer, the installation instructions were great! The gate works exactly as advertised. It is very solid, the attention to detail is great and it looks like furniture; not a pet gate! October 7, 2009
Great product! The barrier was easy to assemble, and it looks really nice between the family room and kitchen area. It sure beats the cardboard "fence" I was using to keep the puppy in her space. Once I realized that I'll be corralling the dog often, this was the perfect solution for the large opening between the two rooms. It's easy to hop over, and it is very attractive. October 6, 2009
looks great! We used to have a plastic gate that was ugly, too high to step over and a pain in the neck to remove. This gate is sturdy, a convenient height and doesn't scuff the walls; plus, it looks great. October 3, 2009
Very Nice This gate works so well and it goes with any decor. It is not the usual gate that you have to struggle with to stay in place. I have small dogs and they will not go over this gate. I have had compliments on how nice it looks. It was easy to put together and I didn't need any tools, packaging was very well done. September 26, 2009
Sturdy, attractive pet barrier Not only does this pet barrier and gate blend in with the wrought iron in my home, but it contains my 75# rambunctious dog from areas where he is unwelcome. Because it is freestanding, there is no damage to adjacent walls. Minimal, easy assembly! September 24, 2009
great gate great gate, allows easy entry for me but keeps out my large dog. Looks nice--not like a baby gate September 23, 2009
Well Constructed and Stylish Pet Barrier We love the look of these gates! Better than the plastic ones you get at the pet store! We can easily walk over them and it keeps our Yorkie and Maltese out of certain rooms! It doesn't do much for the Bearded Collies, they step right over them, but they behave in the house.

Is the gate always on the far side of the fence?
Additional information about LaniNJ could not be loaded.
I notice the gate is on the far end of this. When expanded is it possible that part of the expansion would move the gate more toward the middle of the barrier? My doorway is about 60 inches. I live in the northeast so rooms are small and I have obstacles that go out about 6 inches in front of the door frame on both sides, so having the gate flush against either end is not ideal for me, but otherwise I love this gate. Just want to make sure it will work. Thanks!

Deputies: Mall officer struck by car after catching couple having sex
A mall security officer said he was struck by a car after confronting a couple having sex in the parking lot.
Jeremy Abdo noticed a couple having sex in a black Jaguar while making rounds at Coconut Point mall, 8000 Mediterranean Drive, Estero, just before 9:30 p.m., according to Lee incident reports.
Abdo and a fellow employee stepped out of their security vehicle and approached the parked car. Abdo went toward the rear of the car as the other employee attempted to speak with the driver, reports said.
The driver reversed the car from the parking spot, striking Abdo in the knees. The Jaguar then fled. Abdo was able to give deputies the tag number from the Jaguar.

Falcon Pocket Guide: Bison (Falcon Field Guides)by Jack Ballard
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Stoic, regal, and formidable in size and strength, the bison has long epitomized the American West. Perhaps this is even more so because we have, in our avarice, nearly destroyed them all, and are now seeking to restore their populations. From spiritual figure to abused resource to powerful symbol of wildlife preservation, the bison is a microcosm of the West itself, and in this book, renowned zoologist Desmond Morris tells its fascinating story from the first evidence of its fossil record two million years ago all the way up to today.
Exploring the bisonand#8217;s evolution and habitat, Morris paints a nuanced portrait of this iconic animal, exploring the different sides of its personality. He shows that, while generally seen as gentle and calm, bison in fact are very unpredictable, liable to attack at any moment. Comparing and contrasting the two remaining speciesand#151;the European wisent and the American bisonand#151;he goes on to tell the heartbreaking story of their near-extinction, how we hunted them down from innumerable numbers to less than a thousand, with such little regard that it was a common practice for train travelers to shoot them from their passing cars. He also tells the story of our more recent effortsand#151;and successesand#151;at bringing them back to such a point that their domestically raised meat has now become a popular alternative to beef. Throughout, Morris balances this natural history with a cultural one, the lore of the bison and the spirit of the west, dotting his text with vibrant images of the bison from nature, art, and popular culture. The result is an absorbing history of one of the most majestic creatures to walk the plains of the earth.and#160;
Bison: A Falcon Field Guide presents readers with substantive yet easily digestible information on this majestic symbol of the American West. Where do bison live? What enemies do they have? How do they communicate? What issues exist in the sometimes controversial relationship between bison and humans?
This book contains all the information you need to know to become familiar with these fascinating animals. Accompanied by numerous full-color photos of bison in their habitat, this handy field guide makes an excellent take-home souvenir and reference for anybody interested in bison.
Bison once ranged across the Great Plains of North America in vast herdsand#8212;early 18th-century explorers described them as and#8220;innumerableand#8221;and#8212;and at the beginning of the 19th century they numbered in the tens of millions. During the next century or so humans were responsible for the bisonand#8217;s near-extinction in North America, slaughtering an estimated 50 million for their meat, pelts, and fur, reducing the bison population to less than 1,000 by 1890. Hunting of bison became so prevalent that travelers on long-haul trips in the Midwest would shoot them from their trains. Attempts to revive the American bison in recent times have been highly successful however: farming of bison has increased their population to nearly 150,000, and the American bison is no longer considered an endangered species.
In Bison renowned zoologist Desmond Morris explores the animaland#8217;s evolution and habitat, from the first evidence in fossil records 2 million years ago to today. He reveals the different sides to its personalityand#8212;they are extremely unpredictable and, while they normally appear lazy and calm, can attack at any momentand#8212;and describes the important differences between the European wisent and American bison, the only two species now surviving.
This book, complete with many vibrant illustrations of bison from nature, art, and popular culture, will appeal to anyone curious about the natural and cultural history of this iconic creature.

- time-of-flight;

The charge-collection dynamics in poly(3-hexylthiophene:[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) bulk heterojunctions are studied in thick (>1 μm) devices using time-of-flight measurements and external quantum-efficiency measurements. The devices show Schottky-diode behavior with a large field-free region in the device. Consequently, electron transport occurs by diffusion in the bulk of the active layer. At high applied biases where the depletion region spans the entire active layer, normal time-of-flight transients are observed from which the electron mobility can be determined. Here, the electron mobility follows Poole–Frenkel behavior as a function of field. At lower applied biases, where the depletion region only spans a small portion of the active layer, due to a high density of dark holes, the recombination kinetics follow a first-order rate law with a rate constant about two orders of magnitude lower than that predicted by Langevin recombination.

1996 Toyota RAV4 Q&A
1996 Toyota RAV4 Question: Problem with car starting
Bought my car secondhand in April last year. Have had no problems. Until yesterday. After doing some errands, got back to the car 2 hours later and went to start it and it would not start. The lock, lights, windows etc still works but it would not start (the dash board lights did not and my button to open the car was acting up).Upon lifting the hood, the fans were running and when I checked the temperature gauge it went past HOT. But when I took the key out of the ignitiion it went back to zero. Had a friend look it over and he checked everything. The batteries were good, fuse etc. Even jump started it but it was irregular and did not would not charge. In the end had to get it towed. Is it the computer or what? PS. I am from Dandenong Victoria in Australia - mannii

Gallery: Andrew Maynard Renovates a Modern Melbourne Home With a Giant ...
The Hill House, located in Melbourne's northern suburbs, has received a playful and dynamic makeover by Andrew Maynard Architects. The extension, which was added over 10 years ago, had created a dark inside area. So to bring more light into the space, the architects made an upgrade that would maximize the use of the south-facing backyard. The structure now finds itself fully-integrated with the landscaped outdoor space and flooded with light, and the backyard has become a central feature to the building with plenty of space for play and relaxation.

Take advantage of the warm weather and teach your child about rain, the sun's rays, rainbows, and weather patterns. Here, we've gathered fun, grade-appropriate experiments based on ease and safety. Pick one or try them all!
This decorative wind experiment is perfect for a summer holiday activity, like a birthday, the Fourth of July, or another summer celebration. Teach your child about wind science with the step-by-step pinwheel instructions below.

Bake outside using the heat from the sun. In this activity, you will need a pizza box or other cardboard container, aluminum foil, and common household items. This activity involves a lot of cutting and taping until you have shaped your homemade oven. Make s'mores. If you have more time to wait, then bake cookies! Explain to your child that the oven works by collecting the shorter wavelengths from the sun and trapping them, which is also known as the greenhouse effect.
Make it rain in a jar. Since this experiment involves boiling water and hammering small indentations into a jar lid, make sure you are around to supervise. This activity provides your child with a visual representation of rain on a smaller scale, which is easier to digest. As the cold surface of the lid cools the evaporating water, the vapor collects at the top of the jar and forms back into a liquid.

Active pets, such as dogs, need physical activity, so your child will likely become more active, or stay active, with a pet. Just make sure that he or she is pitching in. Create an activity calendar, or add activities with your pet to an existing calendar, so that your child knows what is expected each day. Schedule activities like runs, walks, or playtime so that your pet is sure to get the attention it deserves.
Owning a pet can be emotionally trying through certain periods, but these are the times when your child may learn some crucial life lessons about death, illness, and mourning. These can be difficult concepts for child to grasp, but learning these lessons early will allow your child to develop coping mechanisms.
Pets take care and attention. Teach your child responsibility by assigning him or her pet-related chores, such as cleaning the litter box, refilling your pet's water, or taking your pet for a walk. Keep your child on a schedule and show him or her the value of taking care of another living being. The emotional connection to a pet ...

A parent holiday, such as the upcoming Father's Day holiday, is a great opportunity for sons and daughters to show their parents appreciation. Since kids might not be able to purchase a gift on their own, we have some other ways that they can say thank you on Father's Day!

When the first graduating class from TEC Connections Academy Commonwealth Virtual School (TECCA) gathered at UMass Boston to celebrate, Olympic silver medalist Lyndsey Fry was there—virtually—to congratulate and inspire them! The inaugural class of twelve students from across Massachusetts attended the commencement ceremony on Friday, June 12.
Lyndsey, who earned a silver medal as a member of the women's ice hockey team at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games, served as the commencement speaker via video. As a 2010 Arizona Connections Academy graduate and a recent graduate of Harvard University, Lyndsey is well acquainted with both virtual school and the Boston area.
When she made the U18 National Hockey Team in her junior year of high school, Lyndsey's family realized that she really needed a school that could accommodate all of the traveling that was required. "Online school is not for everyone; however, it is the answer we were searching for to help me reach my goals," Lyndsey remarks. "You have to go the extra mile to learn things on your own, and I think that's really helped me. It requires dedication, organization, and sacrifices, but it has all been worth it."
In her speech to graduates, Lyndsey shared her experience with online school and discussed how the flexible scheduling allowed her to play competitive ice hockey without missing out on a high-quality education. Watch her video to see the full speech.

Starting or even considering something new, such as a new virtual school for your child, can be a bit nerve-wracking. If you find yourself with a growing list of questions, don't worry, you're not alone! Many other parents are wondering about the same things.
To help ease your mind, we've compiled a brief Q & A with commonly asked questions teachers receive from parents who are researching this exciting and rewarding way to educate students from home!
Q: Is the curriculum Common Core–based? A: The virtual school curriculum includes language arts/English, math, science, and social studies courses for each grade. The curriculum is adjusted according to state-specific requirements, so if your state has adopted the Common Core State Standards, the curriculum will be adjusted to meet them. Q: Is all of the schoolwork completed online? A: The amount of schoolwork completed online depends on the student's grade level. In general, elementary school students mostly complete offline work, with opportunities to use manipulatives and to do other hands-on activities. Middle school students complete a blend of on- and offline work as they transition to being more independent. High school students who have become more independent learners complete mainly online work.

"I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity." —Eleanor Roosevelt
Think about the last time a book, movie, or conversation sparked your curiosity. When something ignites your curiosity, regions of your brain associated with reward, memory, and motivation actually "fire up" with activity. In other words, curiosity can be a great motivator that makes the brain sincerely want to learn. Researchers from the University of California, Davis, suggests a link between motivation and curiosity as discovered in 2014 when they set out to understand how curiosity affects learning.
This research reminds parents, Learning Coaches, and teachers how crucial it is to engage our students' curiosity every day. Consider these five strategies you can use to inspire curiosity in school and beyond:

If you've been researching home education options for your child, you may have noticed that the availability of online learning options varies widely from state to state. While state legislation continues to play a critical role in providing access to public online course options, digital learning is emerging not only in private school course catalogs, but also with the introduction of fully online private schools. While to many parents, this is an unfamiliar idea, online private school is an excellent choice for some families. The following summarizes the primary differences between public and private online schools—and some of the many reasons why you may want to consider enrolling your child in an online private school.

One summer day long ago, an English mathematician went on a quiet river outing with an Oxford dean and his three young daughters. To entertain the girls, the mathematician spun a fantastical tale of another little girl who dreamt that she'd fallen down a rabbit hole, entering a topsy-turvy world inhabited by an execution-happy queen, a mad hatter, a tardy rabbit, a vanishing cat, and a host of improbable but unforgettable characters.
That tale was Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland—and 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of its publication. In honor of Alice's "birthday," we thought our own summer readers would want to know how Alice is still shaping what and how we read today.
Before the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, children's books (such as they were) focused on moral instruction and academic basics. The language could be dull and moralistic, with children's characters resembling miniature adults more than real-life kids like the inquisitive and oft-annoyed Alice.
"'Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess. 'Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.'"
But Lewis Carroll and Alice changed all that, moving entertainment to the forefront and moralizing to the background. (As Carroll and his duchess character suggest, the moral is still there, but you may have to search to find it.) Placing the child at the center of the story's action, Carroll launched a golden age of children's literature and even helped change how society viewed childhood.
Thanks in part ...

A great desk for the money
Joe T. from Shannondale, WV – Verified Buyer
This is the desk I got when my old L-desk wouldn't fit in the new arrangement of our house after having our first child. I've put together a lot of ready-to-assemble furniture over the years, and this was by far the easiest, best-prepared set I've ever dealt with. All the screws, cams and dowels went in straight with a minimum of fuss. The one exception was the drawer rail mounting screws and the screws holding the sides of the drawer together -- I had to remove and retry the latter screws because if the drawer is not assembled perfectly flat, the facing sits up too high and will hit the edge of the desktop. Best bet is to sit the drawer panels on a flat surface to assemble them -- I did it freehand which is why I had that issue. The only other problem I had was that it arrived with a gouge taken out of the drawer bottom panel, but this was the only damage and Bestar shipped me a new one with no hassle -- they just asked for the desk model number, which part of the desk, and my address. Can't beat that! Also, the instructions say it's a two-person assembly. This is only partly true -- you definitely will want assistance carrying the box around before you unpack it, but the only part of the actual assembly that really needs two people is standing the bottom portion up before putting the desk surface on. If you're careful, you can do that yourself, but it does require care to do so because two large subunits are connected by a single set of screws at that point and if it flexes too far, you'll ruin the screws and their holes. All in all I can't recommend this highly enough -- there are nicer desks at a much higher price, but none this nice at this price.
Nice, functional desk.
Steven from Monroe Township, NJ – Verified Buyer
I'm happy /w this desk: it fits well into the limited space of my home office but is still capable of holding the extras needed for a full size pc: printer, tower(/w open back for cables & heat release), CD boxes, binders, books, phone, lamp, etc. The space formed by the left side of the hutch is 25" wide for the newer larger monitors. With the keyboard pulled out for use, there is still enough room for a seated adult 5'10" tall. Cons: desk is heavy; "wood products" materials = particle board; the bottom of the desk drawer is cardboard. Cons: Heavy wt. of parts makes it easy to damage corners if dropped. Desk top corners are sharp.
Great desk
janet from West Babylon, NY – Verified Buyer
I purchased this desk for my son, to ago along w his new computer that he sits at for endless hours between his homework and also for his gaming. He loves the extra storage w the hutch that was included with this desk. There is plenty of storage and it isn't too big or bulky in his room . He is happy w the desk and so am I . Was not hard to assemble. I have purchased 2 desks so far from wayfair and will definitely come back to this sight when I need another one for my living room. Great desk especially for the price !
My PC desk
Diana from Arcata, CA – Verified Buyer
I love it , it big and it hold a lot of things. I am still playing with it I have only had up for 3 days. The look of the desk is very nice and fits will in front spear bedroom. I was not disappointed. My son said it was not to bad putting it together, he brought it in the house in sections and finished putting it together in the bedroom. It took him about 2 1/2 hours to finish the desk. I am very happy thank you. DB

Purchase was easy to complete online. No issues with shipping, e.g., shipped on time to appropriate place. Product was not damaged and all parts were there. Very easy to assemble. Overall, we're extremely pleased with both the service and quality of product received.
Ellen from Savannah
Ellen from savannah, GA – Verified Buyer
Certainly not a "fine" piece of furniture but exactly the dimensions and size I needed! I had only one location for it and this fit all of my needs perfectly. Will not contend as a family heirloom but will suffice for the cost and the necessary specifications. Had someone assemble it as it was cumbersome but not surprised by that.
Looks good and works well
Anne from Nottingham, PA – Verified Buyer
Fits my all in one computer nicely. Easy to put together, I managed almost all the steps single handed. Sturdy, and the two tones help it blend in with existing furniture.
Money well spent!
Theresa from Sterling Heights, MI – Verified Buyer
Very pleased with this purchase. Very sturdy. Spacious desktop for computer monitor and printer. Extra space for paper, speakers, knick knacks, etc. Perfect size computer desk for relatively small area. The pull out shelf for the keyboard is nice. Highly recommend!

Great sturdy desk
April from Bethel Park, PA – Verified Buyer
We bought this desk for my 12 year old son. He has room for his computer and tons of other things. More important, it is very sturdy and durable. I am hopeful this will last a while! He loves it! It both displays his collections and the top has plenty of room for his computer and to do homework.

Goodbye Sweden
Originally posted on THE SWEDEN REPORT:
This is the last post on this blog. I am leaving Sweden for good shortly, and will no longer be following its descent from what was once the third most prosperous country in the world. Frankly, it's just too damn depressing.
I was born and raised in Sweden, which leaves a cultural mark even though I moved to USA in the 1990s and have spent the better part of my adult life as an American. Coming back for a few years has been a shocking experience.
When I was a child, Sweden was a dull yet very safe place to live. Yes, there was a heavy blanket of socialism and collectivist values covering everything, but there was a core of pragmatism beneath the redness. The intention and goal was always to benefit the citizens, even though they went about things in a backwards manner.

Memorial Day – For the "graves of our comrades" we remember
Memorial Day Order
*General Orders No. 11, Grand Army of the Republic Headquarters[1].
I. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed, but Posts and comrades will, in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
We are organized, Comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose among other things, "of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers sailors and marines, who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead? We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security, is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.
If other eyes grow dull and other hinds slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us.
Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains, and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledge to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon the Nation's gratitude—the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan.
II. It is the purpose of the Commander in Chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this Order, and lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country in time for simultaneous compliance therewith.
III. Department commanders will use every effort to make this Order effective.
By Command of:
John A. Logan
Commander in Chief

Who is insane enough to live here? They better be well armed.
Happy Friday Beer Hotties XLII – The HFBH Queen need her court.
Last weeks coordination of The HPBH Queen Zoe, "All hail the Queen", lead me to realize that we must of course have a court. I offer the following Barkeep Princesses for her consideration:
She will need a big court so of course there must be plenty of nominees for Ladies in Waiting…

On losing the avatar fight with social media manipulators.
Fake name? Frak you you petty vindictive cowardly facebook flag monkeys. Now I'm stuck with 60 days of jacking around with fackbook to keep The Pissed Off Tree Rat account alive and well in that social media forum. You got a beef with The POTR then post it, pin it, IM it or whatever. I can take it. Post it to my web site if you're feeling froggy. I'm the Admin here and I don't censor comments just because you are a raging tool so don't be a cowardly byatch and nut up if you got a problem!

I'm thinking of forming my own political party.
"About damn time POTR!" the internet declares.
I hear you all proclaiming loud and proud. Why thank you. I knew you all had my back.
"So why now? Have you had enough of this contrived DNC/RNC monopoly on our unelected political hack's Gerrymandered system?"
Possibly my dear friends, but not entirely. I have a far more stimulating desire for forming my own political party.
"Well then out with it man! We must know of this immediately."
I'm thinking of forming my own political party now because I have thought up the best fraking name ever.
"HUH. That's a bit weak don't you think?"
Shit no. I'm naming it 'The After Party'.
"Ummmm, WTF?"
Think about it……………. Works on a couple levels.
"Well I'm sober now so you may have to explain it. The POTR's ideas usually only make sense when we are all drunk."
True, true dat. But really this is a sober idea. So think about this:
1. The After Party comes "after" the DNC/RNC. Makes perfect sense there.
2. We can call it "TAP" for short. As in, playing taps to the other political wonks.
3. I'll have plenty of Libertarian support so clearly "party" applies.
4. Everyone always says "The DNC" or "The RNC" so we'll be save folks tons of time by just putting "the" in the name to begin with. See how we think of the little people in TAP. It's that subliminal shit that keeps people in line.
5. Millennials will always go for attending The After Party so we're catching the young voters even if the have no idea who we are. They won't care anyway.
6. The Gen X crowd is always pissed they never got to go to The After Party so we'll offer babysitting at all our rallies, comp them three free drinks and offer an Uber ride home. Score we got them clean and clear with that!
7. When we debate with DNC/RNC candidates we demand a three drink minimum consumption before starting the taking of the questions nonsense. Let the people see what the DNC/RNC stooges "really" mean when they are loosed up a bit with the liquor talking. Our TAP candidates are proficient drunken yarn tellers and the masses will demand even more air time. Ah man I could go on and on. I'm loving this idea. We need a TAP logo. Anyone know who did that new Hillary Campaign logo by the way? I don't want to hire that clown who did the crossover between a hospital and bus stop sign for her at all though. It suuuucked. Really it's pretty lame. I just know after he did that work for her campaign I'm sure as shit he's a guy who really needs to join TAP. I know you do to.
Are you ready for change/progress/taking back/supporting (insert random cause here)/saving the (insert cute animal name here)/stopping (insert random bad crap here)? Then TAP is the place for you my brothers and sisters.
Don't delay. Join my…. I mean….. The After Party cause now.
