Read Poems by
Shahana Jackson
There has to be another way
cause I fear staying will only break me quicker
I'll snap like a twig
therefore I'm consumed by my meds
Doctors think i'm crazy
Just cause i'm sad
A kid is supposed to be happy
Atleast that's what they keep telling me
my parents lose sleep cause I won't just pretend
Their so stuck being normal
that they never realized they made me this way
So they should stop alienating me
Cause genetics is genetics
I heard my mom was strung out on weed
before she even knew I was developing in her belly
Dad was a young Alchoholic
yet he doesn't understand why I get thirsty
Now i'm not tryna be like them so don't get me wrong
It's just that they try to cover it up like they were perfect
Cleaned their act up before I was old enough to understand
So now I take this pill
Doctors claim it will heal me
It'll destroy everything that's consuming me
Will it make my parents accept me?
Will it make them finally take some of the blame?
Will it make them tell me they love me?
I doubt it.

Great to see another release! Looks awesome. Territories sounds very interesting.
Just a heads up, in the news post the first four paragraphs under "Top new features in this release" are identical.
Wildfire Games releases 0 A.D. Alpha 7 Geronium, debuting the Carthaginian faction and a new main menu and showing progress in gameplay, music and more.
Posted by Jeru on Sep 17th, 2011
Wildfire Games, an international group of volunteer game developers, proudly announces the release of "0 A.D. Alpha 7 Geronium", the seventh alpha version of 0 A.D., a free, open-source game of ancient warfare. This alpha debuts Carthage, a mighty, versatile naval civilization, includes a dynamic border game mechanic, a new main menu and several new music tracks featuring live performances by professional musicians.
Download and installation instructions are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. 0 A.D. is free of charge and always will be. You can redistribute it and modify it as long as you abide by the GPL. You can even use parts of the art and sound for your own projects as long as you abide by CC-BY-SA. No "freemium" model, no in-game advertising, no catch.
All-new dynamic territory design. Territories change throughout the game based upon the structures built by the players. Each structure has a "weight" given to it and a radius within which this weight has an effect based on the importance of that building, and these values affect borders proportionally. If one of a player's buildings falls into enemy territory due to shifting borders, then that building is planned to slowly lose loyalty until finally converting over to the enemy's side. (In the meantime, in 0 A.D. Alpha 7 it loses health instead, until it is destroyed.) This can be stopped and slowly reversed if the border shifts and the building comes back to the player's side.
An all-new and unique Carthaginian civilization, including:

Second picture: Another shot of a Carthaginian city in 0 A.D.
Third picture: Hellenic (blue stars on sails, rowboat) and Carthaginian ships (all the rest).
Fourth picture: Carthaginian land units. All works CC BY SA Wildfire Games.
A brand new main menu design with new dynamic background, depicting the Spartan tradition of mothers sending off their sons to battle, telling them to come back either with their shield or on it. (Thanks, dashinvaine!). The menu and UI graphics have all been converted to the new style.
Several new tracks, all composed and directed by Omri Lahav, most featuring live percussion and flute segments (Thanks, percussionist Dror Parker and flutist Marta Mc'cave!):
100+ new sound effects from the DynamiteSoundBytes team, dozens of them audible in-game.
New maps:
(REPORTERS/BLOGGERS, PLEASE MENTION THIS! We need your help to finish the game. Thanks.)
We are seeking contributors in programming, art, sound, web design, taking YouTube videos and more. These roles on the 0 A.D. development team are great if you want to brush up on your skills and update your portfolio, if you're seeking a project for school with real-life applications, or if you care about the cause of free culture and software and are willing to work pro bono with a group of dedicated volunteers from all over the world.

The Carthaginians, or Punics, were an ancient civilization centered on the Phoenician city-state of Carthage, located outside what is now Tunis, Tunisia. The Carthaginian culture is one of the most mysterious of ancient times. Little remains of the Punics' literature and none of their history, except what was recorded by their bitter enemies the Greeks and Romans. From these sources we deduce that Carthage was originally founded by Phoenician nobility from Tyre, a city in modern-day Lebanon, and it gained independence around 650 BC. Carthage soon became a formidable force in the western Mediterranean, eventually taking over much of North Africa and modern-day Spain. Over time, Carthage established a network of some 300 colonies and many tributary states, and forged exclusive trading rights agreements with various partners, effectively turning it into an economic powerhouse.

Carthage was remarkable in other respects as well: Its political system was a mix of monarchy, aristocracy and democracy, which relied on a system of checks and balances and ensured a form of public accountability; It had a pantheon of several interesting gods, including Ba'al, Ishtar and Tanit; And it posed a formidable military force, with several great differences between its ground forces and its navy.
Carthage's ground forces were primarily made up of allied peoples and mercenaries, including Libyans, Numidians, Iberians and sometimes Greeks. Carthaginian citizens served in the ground forces almost exclusively as officers, and were only required to serve as infantry in special cases. This ethnic divide led to a deep suspicion of the ground forces among the Carthaginian elite. The Carthaginian navy was quite a different matter, though, as sailors were often recruited from the lower classes of Punic citizenry, which provided them with a stable income and career. No doubt, this contributed to Carthage going down in history as having one of the largest and strongest navies of ancient times.
Carthage went to war several times with Rome in a series of events that came to be called the Punic Wars. The First Punic War was a clash with Greeks and Romans over control of Sicily. By its end in 241 BC, however, Carthage had lost Sicily to Rome. Corsica and Sardinia soon followed. Later, Carthage conquered Hispania, sparking what would come to be known as the the Second Punic War (218 BC – 201 BC). By the end of the war, Hannibal had crossed the Alps in attempt to invade Italy from the north, and he had resoundingly defeated the Roman army in several battles, but never achieved the ultimate goal of causing a political break between Rome and its allies. Eventually, the war was taken to Africa, where Carthage was defeated at the Battle of Zama by Roman general Scipio Africanus. The end of the war saw Carthage's control reduced to the city itself. Carthage's vast area of influence was gone.
In the fifty years since the Second Punic War, Carthage visibly restored some of its wealth and martial power, yet was still a client state of Rome. A weak Carthage was arm-twisted by Rome to go to war and undergo an extended siege, ending in the city's thorough destruction, in a conflict now known as Third Punic War (149–146 BC). All remaining Carthaginian territory was annexed by Rome, and over 50,000 people of Carthage were captured and enslaved. Thus, the Third Punic War ended Carthage's independent existence.
The Punic language and ethnicity continued in other Punic cities, however. Records of people speaking Punic date as late as the days of Christian theologian St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), suggesting that Punic cultural identity survived centuries of foreign conquest.
In 0 A.D. the Carthaginians will have many bonuses that match their historic strengths. These include:
(Sources: Israel Shatzman: A History of the Roman Republic (Hebrew); English Wikipedia: Ancient Carthage; English Wikipedia: Punic Wars, English Wikipedia: Punics. Thanks, Dor Ben-Ari!)
We name our releases according to development status ("Alpha" or "Beta"), successive release number (1, 2, 3, ...) and a word relating to the ancient world, in alphabetical order ("Argonaut" for A, "Bellerophon" for B, ...). In honor of the release of the Carthaginian faction, we decided to dub Alpha 7 "Geronium". (Thanks, mrjeremister!)
Geronium was the site of a battle in the Second Punic War, in which Carthage, led by Hannibal, won a small tactical victory against Rome in 217 BC. The Carthaginians had cut a swath of destruction in their southward march from the Alps throughout the Italian peninsula, ravaging farms and property, and collecting provisions and prisoners as they moved. They were followed by a Roman army that mostly avoided open confrontation in pitched battles in favor of a war of attrition designed to wear the Punic army down. (This tactic was highly unpopular in Roman political circles.)
By 217 BC, Hannibal reached near the modern-day village of Casacalenda, in what is now the Molise region in Italy, and took over a town named Geronium, using it as the Carthaginian winter quarters, while setting up a forward camp next to the Roman forces. As the Roman general was summoned to Rome to defend his tactics under the guise of a religious obligation, his army was left under the command of his deputy. Under the deputy's command, Rome managed to kill many Carthaginian foragers trying to stock up for winter, leading to a Carthaginian retreat from their forward camp. This was rewarded in Rome by promoting the deputy to an equal rank to that of his general, which caused an internal division within the Roman army.
In the Battle of Geronium, Hannibal and his forces laid an elaborate trap and successfully attacked one part of the Roman army, mauling it severely. The Roman forces, however, promptly received reinforcements from the other part. Both Romans and Carthaginians retreated, and only small skirmishes between the sides followed throughout the winter.
As for the remainder of the war, this battle had less significance than the subsequent resounding defeat of the Romans in the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC, one of the greatest tactical feats in military history. (Source: English Wikipedia: Battle of Geronium.)
For the next alpha, we welcome fan suggestions for words relating to the ancient world beginning with the letter H. Keep it original and within the 0 A.D. time-frame (appx. 500 BC - 1 BC)!
Wildfire Games will keep releasing new versions of 0 A.D. from time to time. Watch our news feed to get updates, or follow us by e-mail, RSS, Facebook or Twitter. And you're always welcome to join the 0 A.D. community on our forums.

Great to see another release! Looks awesome. Territories sounds very interesting.
Just a heads up, in the news post the first four paragraphs under "Top new features in this release" are identical.
Fixed! Thanks!
Fantastic work. By the way, are you guys planning on adding ragdoll and real-time physics to building destruction, naval ships being sunk, and soldiers being killed in combat?
Manpower for a physics engine is limited. We could look into it if there was either a freeware or cheap alternative available. Right now we are focusing on stability, fixing various workload pipelines, adding new gameplay features and new factions, and tightening up pathfinding and AI.
What is this, a first person shooter? You are asking way too much. :p
Ragdoll physics and genuine real-time physics in an RTS isn't asking all that much. In fact, its quite standard to have that in an RTS game nowadays. Indie is a different story, but the question still stands.
This looks so much better than the last release. Can't wait to try it out.
Another great release... For a new Alpha, there's sure much changed. I like it! :)
great cant wait to play :D
:) I played this alpha for about 3 hours. It's in alpha-stage so no wonder there are still things to build and polish. But the overall feeling was great. I'm quite impressed. The user interface is quite light and so far I encountered a few minor issues:
1. The mouse is not as snappy as it is in the main menu. I got the feeling it's slightly lagging.
2. Sometimes the game chokes for some reason and moving around on the map is slow because of it. It happened even with few units in sight so I suspect it's not a rendering stuff. (my video adapter is a Radeon Mobility HD 3470 256MB RAM, Linux Mint 9 32bit - based on Ubuntu 10.04)
3. Using too many gatherers (15-20) to get meat from wild animals will make them block each other, especially when the animal is on the edge of the map.
These are probably known issues considering I heard many people talking about 0 A.D. but maybe it helps. Great game so far! :) Many thanks to everyone involved for your effort and hard work! :)
Are you going to add sticky walls that don't leak in enemies? :) Me and my mates are having a bit of problems with that... Also is there a posibility with garrisonable walls in the distant future?
I LOVE the game, it's really fun and looks great!

Rated 3 out of 5Â by planetqueen beautiful shoes but left and right don't match I usually wear size 5.5 in flat shoes and tried these in the smallest size available, 36, in the red and the gray. I was afraid they would be too big, but they fit just fine. Of course, being espadrilles, they will probably stretch. Both colors are very pretty, but I liked the red a bit better because there was not as much variation in the color of the stitching. On the gray pair, the stitching varies from almost navy to pale blue-gray to the same color as the shoe. The pair I received had a very dark medallion on the front of one shoe, and a light one on the other. They looked like they came from two completely different pairs of shoes! The red stitching varied from a medium red to an oxblood color, and the medallions on the front were luckily the same color, but one was placed right at the toe and the other right at the top of the shoe (you can see something similar in the photo of the red shoe). I didn't notice it immediately, but once I did, I knew it would drive me crazy. Maybe it's just the pairs I received, so I wouldn't want to tell people not to buy them, but - you've been warned! If this wouldn't bother you, get them. They are pretty and unique, and the fit is good. I just want mine to look more alike. So for now, I'm returning both pair. Should I order another red pair, three times is a charm? Wish there was a store near me so I could try them there. 5.21.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ocean BEAUTIFUL! These shoes arrived in the mail today. I ordered the grey and they are SO pretty! Well worth the money. There is even some light blue on the side to match the grey and there is a little bit of height to the sole which I love because I could use some inches. The only problem was they look vegan but came with a "free people" logo inside printed on leather which I realized was like a sticker so I am just gonna peel that off. I still had an ethical debate with myself if I should keep them and decided this time yes b/c from the outside they don't promote leather. I love how Free People offers so many vegan products. It would be cool if they dropped leather all together or at least try to leave it out of more products. Also I am a size 9 and had to exchange for a size 10 so they run small but again they might just be the prettiest shoes I have ever owned! 5.19.2014

How would you like to collect $14,000 a month, for life, in retirement? It's possible and legal under Minnesota's pension plans.
Take Kenneth Young. He's at the top of the list.
Young, a former Hennepin County worker, collects the highest annual pension of any retiree in the county - $183,000 a year.
David Landswerk was the Superintendent of the Wayzata School District. He collects the highest annual pension for a retired educator - $176,000.
There are retired public workers from all walks of life that collect a six figure pension. Like one time Hennepin County Administrator Dale Ackmann, who gets $170,000 a year. Retired Ramsey County Sheriff Charles Zacharias collects $157,000 a year.
We counted 312 six-figure pensions in Minnesota as we checked records of the three biggest state pension programs. We looked further and found 165,000 Minnesotans received a total of $3.4 billion dollars in benefits from state and local pension plans in 2009.
Here's how a public pension works: important to know because you help pay for it. An employee contributes 13% of their income to a pension. Their public employer contributes 14%. The money is invested and the gains from those investments make up the remaining 73% of an employees promised pension. If the investment return doesn't match or exceed what's needed to make up that 73%, the money must come from somewhere.
Right now, the state is $246 million short of that difference on a yearly basis. Taxpayers make up the rest. One more thing, public employees are guaranteed a return on their investment of 8%. That's down from 8.5% last year.
Jim Tobin with Taxpayers United of America studies public pensions, including Minnesota's. He says the state can't keep doing this indefinitely.
Richard Maus is a typical pensioner. He's a retired teacher from the Robbinsdale School District and collects $30,000 a year in retirement benefits. He says he contributed more than $300,000 to his pension during his career. Maus calls it a promise between him and the state. The state got his money and now it's time they start to pay me back.
The average pension for a retired teacher in Minnesota is about $28,000 a year. Laurie Hacking runs one of the state's three main pension plans. Hacking says the state has been disciplined, proactive and really has had fairly modest benefit levels.
When the economy crashed in 2008, lawmakers made some reforms to pension plans. Dave Bergstrom is with the MSRS, Minnesota State Retirement System. He says we reduced our overall costs by $6 billion by freezing cost of living adjustments and tweaking other benefits.
Those reforms don't stop a select group of people from earning two, even three public pensions. It's completely legal, state law allows it.
We knocked on doors, sent dozens of letters and found many of them reluctant to talk about doubling or tripling up. Only Ramsey County Commissioner Tony Bennett would sit down with us.
Bennett collects $54,000 a year as a retired St. Paul Cop. Another $17,000 a year for his time as a state legislator and now earns a salary of $84,000 a year as a Commissioner. When he retires, Bennett will collect a third pension that he is entitled to. That makes him what some call a triple dipper - something opponents raised when he ran unsuccessfully for reelection as a County Commissioner earlier this year. To his critics he says: "I guess I would say some of them ought to walk in the shoes of the people who have had to do them. I don't begrudge any police officer or fireman, or soldier today who is getting a pension from anything and what they've had to go through".
How many double or triple dippers are there? We looked, we checked, we can't tell you. The state doesn't keep track. Minnesota's pension system is running to catch up with its' commitments.
Representative Morrie Lanning - District 9A - wishes the general public were more tuned in. As a state lawmaker, Lanning sees potential trouble. A look at the recent Pew Center Study and you'll see why. it reveals Minnesota pensions are 80% funded. That means, for every dollar paid to a pensioner, the state is 20-cents short. Lanning says if we don't do the right things with regards to pensions the taxpayers are going to have to pay more in the future. Lanning thinks the state needs to look at lowering the rate of return promised to state employees.
Lawrence Martin oversees pension law at the capitol and helps write it. He sees two options: either the members or employers are going to have to pay more or there will be additional taxes for the state in the form of incomes, sales or property taxes.
Critics of public pensions suggest a private sector solution like 401K or Social Security.
Even retired teacher Richard Maus agrees, in order to keep the state's pension plans afloat, change has to happen. Maus say's it's a fixable, rational, recognizable problem, but the longer the state waits, the bigger the bump it's going to take.
The three main public pension plans are: MSRS, the Minnesota State Retirement System, TRA, Teachers Retirement System and PERA, Public Employee's Retirement Association. Police officers, firefighters, sheriff's deputies, correctional officers, teachers, administrators, college faculty, state employees, some Met council workers, judges, city & county workers qualify.

Bangkok Airways has begun an internal study on the possibility of being listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) by the end of 2013.
The privately owned regional carrier could float up to 30% of its shares in a listing, said a spokesman.
It aims to raise funds to expand its operations, he added.
Bangkok Airways is targeting a minimum revenue of baht (Bt) 10.6 billion ($354 million) this year, up from Bt8.3 billion in 2010, the airline said on 3 August. Its revenue for the first half of 2011 reached Bt5.2 billion.
The carrier could also add more international services and branch into the low-cost market, added the spokesman.
However, these plans are still in the "very early stages", he said.
Bangkok Airways on 14 July inked a codeshare agreement with Singapore-based regional airline SilkAir. It also plans to deepen its codeshare partnership with Finnair, Malaysia Airlines and India's Kingfisher Airlines.
The airline operates six Airbus A319s, three A320s, and eight ATR 72-500s. The company has four A350-800s and three A319s on order, and options for three ATR 72-500s.

John Dutton Theatre - Calgary Public Library
Doomed, Chuck Palahniuk
October 18
Calgary Public Library, John Dutton Theatre
Tickets: $40 / book included
Special Event
Bestselling novelist and author of the cult hit, Fight Club, haunts the Wordfest stage following the October launch of Doomed, the sequel in the Damned trilogy. Admission includes book.
Madison Spencer, the liveliest, snarkiest dead girl in the universe, continues the adventures in the afterlife begun in Damned. Having somewhat reluctantly escaped from Hell, she now wanders the Purgatory that is Earth as a ghostly spirit, ultimately making a rendezvous with destiny on the new, totally plastic continent in the Pacific called, not accidentally, Madlantis.
Palahniuk has achieved several distinctions including the 1997 and 2003 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award and the 1997 Oregon Book Award for Best Novel. He has published over fifteen books and is a very funny, creative and thought-provoking writer who draws much of his inspiration from his own life.

You're a Dead Woman… In the Pink Ghetto
Women have been the unsung and UNPAID heroes during key periods of societal change and transition. The Pink Ghetto, a term that was coined in 1983, describes the limits women have in furthering their careers. Our nation is clearly in the midst of change and transition. As we reboot, reset, and restart – let's not, once again, leave women to live out their years in the pink ghetto.

Good Evening Port Ontario! Thursday January 16, 2014
Another quiet weather day in the Port today. Temperatures in the 30's all day and we had a dusting of snow overnight. Very cold weather is expected next week with daytime temperatures expected to remain in the teens. This is after all Janurary in northern New York, and cold weather is a given.
It was not a good day if you were a former cast member of a 1970's sitcom. The Professor from Gilligan's Island and the business manager from the Partridge Family both died today. Roy Hinkley 89 played the Professor, one of the seven stranded castaways stuck on a deserted island. The professor could make a radio out of a coconut shell but never figured out how to fix a hole in their boat, the SS Minnow! Dave Madden 82 played Rueben Kincaid, the business manager of the Partridge Family. I watched and enjoyed both shows as a teenager. Both are reported to have died of natural causes!
I spoke yesterday with with our own Gilligan, that being none other than TV. He now informs me that his ice fishing trip to the Port will be next weekend. That will given me time to move all the obstacles that he might possibly trip over, i.e. the fire pit, the stone pile from my construction project, and my car! He is bringing at least one fishing buddy so this promises to be an interesting weekend, if it comes to fruition. More on this story for sure.
Changing locales tomorrow as I am scheduled to have my first visit with a chiropractor tomorrow in Syracuse. This should be interesting as I have felt all along that my back problems would be helped with a good chiropractor. I am hoping they put me on the rack and stretch me out good. That was the only thing from my physical therapy that seemed to help. I will let you know how I make out.
Speaking of making out, I still have not heard from, nor do I know the whereabouts of the Oil Comglomerate! He has been MIA for several months now. I have heard from about half of our campground members since we closed in November. The OC, CC, the Skipper and Uncle Charlie as well as Mike are all AWOL. Uncle Charlie is excused as I am sure the Queen never lets him near the phone. All those 900 numbers really killed the budget and resulted in a loss of phone privileges. As for the rest of you, what's up?
Miss G has a new resturant in mind for our Friday night dinner outting. She told me the name of the place but it has already escaped my memory. Another sign of the aging process I guess. Good thing I have her to remind me of all the things that I forget. I am always up for trying a new place to eat, so I am looking forward to it!
This makes 3 days in a row for the blog, a new record for the year 2014. We shall see if I can keep it up when I move to the Southern Outpost tomorrow. Check back in and see if I am keeping it going. For now, I am signing off in favor of feeding my growling stomach. Have a good night all!

This project was created at the Silicon Chef Women's Hardware Hackathon by:
Bonnie Barrilleaux
Sachi Decou
Jamie Piazza
Melanie Goetz
Amanda Galvin
Step 1: Collect supplies
Arduino Uno
Soldering equipment, break-away header pins, and wire (rainbow cable works great)
Anemometer (wind sensor) such as this one: http://moderndevice.com/product/wind-sensor/
Wireless headset
2 meters WS2812 LED strip, such as this one: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1138
Plastic cup and a single white sock (great use for that lonely sock that lost its partner)
9V DC barrel jack power source
A cup or bowl to cover the sensor so there's no wind during calibration
Step 2: Solder wires to the wind sensor and LED strip
For the LED strip, solder wires to the three contacts (Gnd, +5V, and DIN). Note that these strips are directional -- they have a right end and a wrong end to solder the data line to, although you could supply power to either end if you wanted to. So be sure to solder wires to the DIN (data in) and not the DO (data out) side.
At the opposite end of each wire, solder a breakaway header pin, so that the wires can be inserted into the Arduino. There should be a total of 7 wires, 4 from the wind sensor and 3 from the LED strip.

April 6-7 Rio Hillman Bob DeMaris Ric McCloud Woody Acre
Rio Hillman has been described as original, outside the box., eccentric and down right funny! Rio arrived on the comedy scene seven odd years ago. He believes that subtlety and timing are key principals to building a crowd up to the punch line. To him, it's nothing new to find humor throughout the stress of everyday life. His rib-busting, attention grabbing, split comedy coming from real life experiences can be seen throughout the Midwest as well as expanding to both coasts.
Ric McCloud is a formidable presence on the comedy stage, either performing as himself or a diverse repertoire of characters, . For over 20 years he has performed thousands of shows across the country. Ric has kinetic energy, bouncing from topic to topic in rapid-fire fashion, but he's not afraid to just go with the flow if that's what the audience wants. Every subject is a potential target, including himself. He'll keep you on your toes but you'll be laughing every step of the way. Warning: Ric's laughter-inducing comedy show has induced pregnant women into labor!
Bob DeMaris is now the proud and befuddled, father to a 20 year old son, who has left home for college, and a 14 year old girl who came into his life in a crate marked "Tasmania!" "I love my children," claims Bob. "But I don't like them!" Bob was born and raised on "da Range", Minnesota's iron mining Mecca in the Arrowhead Region of the state. His biggest complaints used to be about adjusting to city life, national politics, along with the heat and humidity of Minneapolis summers. As a big guy who sweats, Bob claime that is not built for summers here, in the "deep South." of theTwin Cities.
Woody Acre drove off of a 130 foot cliff in Colorado and decided to live his life a little bit more on the lighter side. The story is detailed in his new book "Ya Know What I Hate" now available at www. Amazon.com. His tongue and cheek conversational comedy will have you looking at life from a different perspective. He has performed with such greats as Scott Hansen and The Stage Benders, Jeff Gerbino and Jim Wiggins. You may have seen him at Rick Bronson's House of Comedy, The Laugh Pit, The Comedy Gallery at Welch's Big Ten Supper Club, The Regency Plaza, McCann's, D. B. Searles, The Ultimate Sports Bar & Grill or The Great Blue Heron.

Patented Dec. 13, 1932 LEWIS s. WILLIAMS, or BERRIEN seames, MIcHmAiv FOLDING TABLE Application filed September 28, 1931. Serial'No. 565,426.
The invention relates to improvements in folding tables and has for its primary object the provision of a simple and efiicient construction of the character indicated which is capable of economical manufacture.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a folding table having improved means for supporting and folding the same.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming apart of this specification, and in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a folding table embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 a transverse section of the same taken substantially on line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 a front view of the table shown in initial position of folding;
Fig. 4 a similar view showing the table in intermediate condition of folding; and
Fig. 5 a similar view showing the table completely folded.
The embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings comprises two table parts 10, arranged in abutting relation to 7 each other in a horizontal plane as shown,
each table part being provided on its under side with two transverse reinforcing and securing members 11. Two supporting legs 12 are pivotally connected at 13 to the reinforcing members 11 on the under side of each table part 10, the corresponding legs being connected in pairs by means of cross pieces 14:, as indicated.
Associated with the legs 12 are two pairs of crossed folding bars 15, the members of each pair being pivotally connected to each other at their points of crossing by means of pivot pins 16. At their upper ends the folding bars 15 are connected by pivot pins 17 with the corresponding reinforcing members 11, and at their lower ends the corresponding folding bars are connected in pairs by means of cross pieces 18, as indicated. At their lower ends the folding bars 15 are connected with the lower ends of the corresponding legs UNITED STATES PATE T oFFics 12 by means of links 19 pivoted to'eacli as shown. Each folding bar 15 is notched at 20 to cooperate with corresponding notches 21 in the inner under side of each table part 10 so as to. facilitate folding fiat of the two table parts, as indicated in Fig; 5. V
In operation, when it is desired to fold the table, the opposite outer edges of the table parts 10 are grasped by the hands and raised upwardly, as indicated by the arrows'in Fig. 3. This action will fold the table parts 10:11pwardly along the central line of the table as indicated, thereby folding the crossed bars 15 and drawing the legs 12 together in parallel relation, as best-indicated in Figs. '3, and' Thus, the table parts may be brought into flat facing relation, asshown in Fig. 5, and the legs 12 and folding bars also folded, as indicated, into comparatively small space.
When it is desired to dietend the parts into operative positions, all that is necessary is to reverse the folding operation by separating the table parts 10, whereupon the parts will assume the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 2. By this arrangement a simple and efficient folding table is provided which is capable of economical production and which may be readily folded into compact space or distended for use.
The specific form and arrangement of parts constitutes a simple and effective one for the purpose.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred form for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details disa side support for each table part foldable relatively thereto; and crossed folding bars pivoted to each other at the points of cross: ing, pivoted at their upper ends to the under sides of said table parts, and connected at their lower ends with the lower ends of said side supports by means of links pivotally connected with each.
3. A folding table comprising two table parts foldable upwardly along a central line; two supporting legs for each table part pivotally connected thereto at their upper ends; cross members tying each pair of legs togeth er; and two pairs of ros sed folding bars operatively connected with said foldable parts and with said legs. 1
4. A folding table comprising two table parts foldable upwardly along a central line; two supporting legs for each tablepart pivotally connected thereto at their upper ends; cross members tyingeach pair of legs together; and two pairs of crossed folding bars pivoted to each other at the points of crossing,
pivoted at their upper ends to the under sides of said table parts, and connected at their lower ends with the lower ends of the corresponding opposite legs by means of links pivotally connected with each.
In witness whereofll have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of September, 1931;

My Email Digests
Michelle- It's good to ask questions and I hope you get some answers. I'm glad you can hopefully stop preventing!
Ani- Good luck this cycle!
Perry- Awesome news...lots of luck!
My update- Still no af, Dr apt on Friday. I haven't tested again since thurs but I am having stronger symptoms the last few days. I'll update after my appointment hopefully with good news!View Thread
Vybe - That's what worries me, but then again I just remember that my hormones were 'normal' last time and things still went wrong. So I don't think actually seeing a bfp would make me feel too much better anyway, because it doesn't mean everything is ok. I won't be happy until I get an ultrasound and hear a heartbeat! I'm just trying to be patient until then. I haven't had any spotting or cramping so I'm taking that as a good sign for now. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks I guess!View Thread
I'm 18 days late today and got another BFN this morning. I've been searching for info and I keep coming across a lot of stories about women who didn't get a positive test until they were very very late (4-6 weeks late). A few even showed a neg blood test and their dr thought they were nuts, then a week or two later they got a positive hpt and ended up being 10 weeks pregnant. I'm saving my last test for the day before my appointment since I will be 25 days late by then. I'm expecting a negative test at my apt and am really really hoping he will skip the blood test and just schedule an ultrasound.View Thread
My update: 15 days late (CD46). What I thought was a bfp the other day I am now convinced was just an evap line. I haven't been able to get a bfp since, but still no signs of AF whatsoever. I usually have 30 day cycles, the most I have been off has been 4 days. So I probably won't have an update until after my dr appointment on Aug 10. I'm starting to get really worried and really bummed, but trying not to stress too much. I just want answers.View Thread
Perry - GL in the last half of your 2ww!
Michelle - Sounds like things are looking good for your next cycle! Lots of luck at your appointment and with the new meds.View Thread
Pray - So excited you o'd! I think the vibes definitely had something to do with it. haha Good luck and hopefully you can get some good news at the end of your 2ww.
My update - I'm 8 days late now, but still getting BFN. I am about 95% sure I'm pregnant, so I'm just trying to chill out and wait another week before testing again. My doctor is on vacation so the earliest I could get in is Aug 10, so there isn't much I can do anyway. I'm just taking my vitamins, resting (sleeping 8-9 hrs every night and still tired enough to take a 2-3hr nap most days), and trying not to worry.
I have been feeling sick pretty much all day every day since last wednesday. It is actually comforting, because last time I didn't really ever have any symptoms. And I noticed yesterday if I lay flat or bend forward, I can feel tightness in my lower abdomen. I'm just hoping that it's not ectopic and that's why my hormones are too low to get a bfp. I haven't had any pain or bleeding (spotting stopped 5 days ago), so for now I'm just assuming everything is fine.View Thread
As for me, got another BFN this morning and am now 5 days late. I'm getting sick of all these negative tests so I'm holding off until I'm more than a week late to test again. Going to try not to think about it this weekend and hopefully AF stays away.View Thread
As for me, I couldn't wait and took another hpt last night and it was bfn again! I have 2 left, so I didn't take one this morning with fmu. Tomorrow I will be 5 days late so I plan to take one then. On the plus side, no spotting today! After 2 weeks it finally seems to have stopped. Also, I have felt slightly nauseous pretty constantly the last 2 days. Nothing severe, but definitely enough for me to notice and not want to eat certain things. I just really don't want to get my hopes up because of all the bfn. This is not at all like my last 2 pregnancies, so of course I'm afraid something is wrong like it's ectopic or my levels are too low or maybe I just have cancer. hahaView Thread

Many people prefer to send their jackets back to the Barbour repair facility in Milford, New Hampshire where they can get a professional job at a very reasonable price.
And many do it themselves, although you don't have the added benefit of their heated tables, which also gets out any ground in dirt. (However, as almost everyone waits to the last minute, the Barbour facility always gets overwhelmed this time of year.)
The process is fairly forgiving.
Without regular reproofing they obviously are not as waterproof, but also can take on an old military fatigue jacket look, especially in the Sage. The Navy, however, can still look good for dry weather wear.
Many prefer the bare-handed approach and take care not to get the wax too hot. Use a new sponge; old sponges tend to crumble a bit and leave behind little pieces. Place the can of wax in a pan of just boiled water and wait a few minutes for it to soften, which it does from the bottom up.
|Any bits of wax that get on the corduroy collars are easily wiped off.
|Wax over any tears or worn out spots.
|Bedale in Sage - One of the Neediest
|With the Bedales tuck in the knit cuffs....
|... and always zip them up before starting.
|The Giant Bellows Pockets of the Border Jacket
|This is how it looks when one should have waited a little longer for the wax to melt. Now it just has to be worked in more. This is where the hair dryer can be most useful.
They will be a bit tacky (as in sticky) but not for long.

Social Media Marketing Measurement Done Right
Lately, everyone associated with marketing or advertising is talking about creating "communities" and having "conversations" with their consumers through Social Media Marketing.
What is missing are good examples of how Social Media is being used effectively and, most importantly, how are they measuring that effectiveness to calculate ROI.
I've tracked down a couple of recent examples that I feel do a good job in both levering Social Media and tracking results from their efforts.
This case study of Sea World San Antonio (hat tip to Alex Nesbitt at Digital Podcast) shows how working with communities of roller coaster enthusiasts through YouTube videos and Flickr images the marketers at Sea World were able to create significant pre-launch buzz for a new water ride, Journey to Atlantis.
The best part of this example, as demonstrated in this video case study done by Shel Israel at FastCompany.tv, is how they were able to provide concrete measurement of results from the campaign through multiple sources, including use of custom surveys and online site statistics.
Through their research, they were able to clearly separate those visitors who came through their Social Media efforts, versus the rest of the people who visited the park on a daily basis.
Carnival Cruise Lines has had a track record of success in Social Media Marketing for some time now. Tameka Kee of Online Media daily shows how they built on that success through an online partnership with ScrapBlog.com (a community built around scrapbooking) that allows guests from their cruises to share snapshots and video clips with friends and family in a branded environment.
As Carlos Garcia, CEO and co-founder of Scrapblog says of the initiative:
"A Carnival cruiser comes back and has pics and video that are essentially already branded. When they share it with friends and family, they're sharing the brand. Allowing them to create a scrapbook online increases the number of people that can interact with the brand exponentially."
Additionally, like the Sea World Example, Carnival also was able to get a better understanding of their initiative through concrete performance metrics by tracking the number of scrapblogs created by their guests, visit stats to the created scrapblogs, and registered conversions at CarnivalConnections.com due to scrapblog visits.
Creating effective Social Media Marketing campaigns is good first step for brands. Measuring that effectiveness on the back end is the critical next step that all brands should be taking as well.

The problem is that the big consumer CMOs and Advertisers don't think in terms of real tangible results, they're still asking for Ad Value or eyeballs or some such nonsense. In the mean time, folks like SeaWorld, and our clients MADD and ASPCA are tying their efforts to web memberships and on-line donations. The difference is that the consumer package goods companies are still working in a command and control world where they think they can simply order up a million community members the same way they used to order up a million eyeballs. What they don't realize is that most of those eyeballs they were ordering up never bought the product anyway. But the 100 or so community members will buy and recommend and promote your brand.

Glad you found the article useful, Paul.
I do think lots of companies are jumping on the online community bandwagon without having a clear plan for how to promote and sustain the hub, or even why users should join in the first place.
Carnival's scrapblog deal made perfect sense — it was almost a no-brainer. When people come back from vacations, they're often dying to share the pics. So by creating space where they can share those memories with others who've had the same experience (not to mention entice non-cruisers to think about a Carnival Fun Ship) Carnival has launched a win-win.

Tears and applause as hundreds attend funeral of Derby mystery-death man Nick Pearson
Posted: February 07, 2014|
HUNDREDS of people paid their last respects to Derby man Nick Pearson who died in mysterious circumstances on a New Year family holiday.
Over 500 mourners gathered at Markeaton Crematorium to pay their respects to the fun-loving 25-year-old. Many had to gather outside to listen on loudspeakers.
Friends and family and people from all over the country attended the emotional service, which was a celebration of and reflection on Nick's life.
His cousin, Matthew Marshall, gave a heart-felt tribute, which was warmly received by crowds both inside and outside the crematorium.

He said: "Nick had a fun-loving personality, he was a ladies' man and had a big smile.
"I can't stand here and put into words how special Nick was because I would not do him justice.
"The turnout here today and what you guys have done in the past few weeks has done that for him.
"Nick had so much love for his family and had a special bond with his brother Matt.
"What has happened to Nick is the worst thing to happen to us in this room.
"Nick lived his life to the full and probably had a better life than most people who have lived 100 years.
"Save me a spot up there mate, I love you."
Matthew's eulogy was received with a warm round of applause.
Nick's parents, Tracy and Graham, of Prescot Close, Mickleover, led mourners into the service along with Nick's brother, Matt, who had flown over from Thailand, where he works as a teacher.
Music was a constant theme in Nick's life and that was no more apparent than yesterday.
His mum said that Oasis were one of his favourite bands and their song, Cast No Shadow, was played in the procession, bringing many of the mourners to tears.
This was followed with Ooh La by The Kooks during the service and Bring The Noise by Benny Benassi and Public Enemy to close the funeral.
Matt, 29, and some of Nick's closest friends wore hats as a mark of respect to his brother.
Matt has said previously that he felt having Nick as a brother had encouraged him in life.
He said: "He was so inspirational because of his amazing personality.
"We helped lift each other up in tough times and music has been a really big passion for both of us.
"He used to love visiting Thailand and we had dreams of opening a bar together."
Friends of Nick are planning on sky-diving to raise money for a new bench at The Vine pub in Mickleover, which was his regular and where people gathered after the service.

Below is the poem entitled LOOK IF U REALLY DON'T DIG MY TITLES BAMBI WILL CHOOSE ONE which was written by poet
cohan. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.

Jeffry Cohan
So here's the problem as I see the situation
No one ever looks around too well
Survey the area and it will lead to information
Then follow me, because I found the map to Hell
I mean if you ask me that's where everyone is bound
Name me one person you know who never sins
So I searched up and down, on the landscape and the ground
Now follow me because this is where the madness begins
It begins and ends with fire, heat and unbearable screams
And I'm telling you to get ready for the fire
However remember,to prepare yourself for nightmares and never any dreams
Because Hell is reserved for every sinner, sucker and liar
In Hell ain't nobody got no cot, no hammock nor bed
And I tell you to look around at every man, woman and child
Keep the fact that you're going to Hell firmly planted in your head
Especially those who take shotguns and kill Bambi in the wild
Phreepoetree ~free cee!~

There's a studied and understated estrangement between congressional Republicans and the party's presidential candidates.
The front-runner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, isn't seeking endorsements from House and Senate Republicans as avidly as he did in 2007.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is also taking his time. And congressional Republicans are holding back, waiting to see if the field is settled or if Govs. Rick Perry of Texas or former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will shake things up.
But choppy campaign waters aren't the only factor. Washington is universally unpopular and the tea party movement dislikes any whiff of Beltway meddling. At the state level, that kind of revulsion fueled the rise of Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as the GOP nominee against his state's sitting governor, Charlie Crist. It also propelled Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to the GOP nomination last year against Secretary of State Trey Greyson even though Greyson had the backing of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Another factor is Republicans in D.C. don't want to jump too soon or in the wrong direction.
"If an incumbent picks the wrong horse, in this day and age where impressions can be set so swiftly and permanently, such a decision could come back to bite them politically," said Eric Ueland, a vice president at the Duberstein Group and former chief of staff to former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. A lot has changed since 2007, when Republican White House contenders were crawling over Capitol Hill to win the backing of GOP lawmakers. Romney was borderline obsessed with beating Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., at the endorsement game, say veterans of the former Massachusetts governor's campaign.
The strategy worked. By November of 2007, Romney had the endorsement of 38 Hill Republicans in the House or Senate to McCain's 28. A lot of good it did Romney. He won 11 primaries and caucuses (but not the biggies in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina or Florida) and dropped out in early February.
Romney's taken that lesson to heart this cycle and is gradually rolling out endorsements, doing so last week in Michigan, Nevada and Florida. So far, he's got just four Hill GOPers publicly on his team: Rep. Joe Heck of Nevada, and Florida U.S. Reps. Tom Rooney, Connie Mack, and Alan Crenshaw. Two of those—Mack and Crenshaw—are 2008 holdovers.
Romney wanted Hill backing in 2007 for a number of reasons: to undermine and aggravate McCain, who even had trouble winning endorsements from members of the Arizona delegation; to win validation he thought would give him access to donors and grassroots activists; and to elevate his name-recognition.
As it turned out, the lawmakers who backed Romney didn't deliver money, organization or votes and the time and effort required to curry favor of the Hill cost Romney's campaign valuable time and sometimes created conflicts over statewide strategy.
"We'd spend a lot of time talking to members and then sometimes there would be a disagreement about what to do and where to go in a certain state," said Kevin Madden, a top Romney spokesman in 2008 and now an informal adviser. "Sometimes it was like 'Who is running this campaign?'"
It's not that endorsements don't have any value, but they vary in degree of enthusiasm and real-world political strength. Carl Forti, who ran Romney's political operation, said some early endorsements paid dividends. "When you are relatively unknown, as we were, getting endorsements in key states it is helpful," Forti said. "The difference now is this battle is just starting. This fight was taking place in January, February and March of 2007. And it seems members of Congress are giving their endorsements up less easily."
Pawlenty is returning to D.C. Tuesday for his third former round of meeting with Hill Republicans. He's scheduled to spend his time on the Senate side. So far, Pawlenty's met with about 40 House and Senate GOPers. His priority now, though, is raising money and hitting the circuit in Iowa and New Hampshire.
"Our priority is actual voters," said Pawlenty spokesman Alex Conant. "With endorsements, it's quality of quantity."
Conant said Pawlenty is not striving to out-distance Romney in Hill endorsements. Right now, he has three: Minnesota Reps. John Kline and Erik Paulsen and South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson.
"Joe Wilson is an endorsement in a pivotal early primary state," Conant said. "But we know we're not going to win this nomination with a single endorsement."
And that's where the endorsement game is right now. Single digits. And the final score, to the degree it matters, won't be settled until the World Series.

Purpose: Thoughtful Christianity is a site fully devoted to Christian philosophy, theology, and apologetics whose threefold mission is to help others in becoming more thoughtfully engaged in both exploring, sharing, and defending the truth of Christianity.
Content: As for the content itself, Thoughtful Christianity seeks to engage culture by conveying information in a variety of different ways, including:
Reach: The primary focus of Thoughtful Christianity is the website, which attracts several thousand visits each month from around the world. However, extensions of the site can be found elsewhere on the internet including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and recently in the form of an app for both the iPhone and Android markets.
Origins: The site was initially created by Bryan Smith as a personal blog in April 2009 and has been evolving ever since. Bryan, who although he was raised in a Christian home by Christian parents and attended church regularly, felt that he often times had to check his mind at the church doors, so to speak, only to pick it back up on his way out; and that, while the church did a great job of meeting the felt needs of the heart, it was dangerously lagging behind in doing likewise for the mind. Not being able to address the intellectual skepticism within it's own ranks, Bryan not only had trouble dealing with his own skepticism at times, but saw many others struggle as well, some eventually abandoning the faith because of it.
As such, Bryan felt he needed to deal with his skepticism on his own, reading and studying into the ground anything and everything he could get his hands on. After only a few months of rigorous study and introspection (and perserverant prayer), he not only finally found the intellectual satisfaction he was looking for, but was pleasantly amazed and taken aback by the shear amount of literature on the subject. Christianity, he once believed, was to be taken on the basis of "blind faith" alone. Faith and reason were in total opposition to one another, he had thought. And never having even seen or heard of a Christian intellectual before, the concept was essentially an oxymoron to him. Indeed, he had never known that the field of Christian apologetics even existed. Needless to say, the discovery literally changed his life.
Firstly, his passion grew even stronger through further study as he continually realized the depth and breadth of work in this area and, having finally been able to deal with his own inward skepticism, he now turned his passion outward and began wondering how many others might be desperately searching for answers as he once was. Finally convinced both existentially and now rationally of the truth of Christianity, he felt he could do nothing less than to share that truth with anyone who was willing to listen.
And secondly, having seen the lack of intellectual engagement among fellow Christians and non-Christians alike, he sought to find a way to help others become more thoughtfully involved in matters of faith. And so it is this very passion that was, and continues to be, the ultimate driving force behind Thoughtful Christianity – to provide intellectual support for those who might be struggling while at least stimulating thoughtful interaction for everyone, struggling or not.
