God and Country Day is back on for July 4th
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 4:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
A day after announcing the 44th annual God and Country Day celebration on July Fourth was canceled, the Ocala Jaycees said it's back on.
Club President George Edwards confirmed Wednesday afternoon that insurance has been secured, and the annual Independence Day festivities are once again a go.
The day's activities begin about 1 p.m. on July 4 and run through a fireworks display at sunset. As in recent years, the celebration will be held near Golden Ocala at the intersection of U.S. 27 and County Road 225A.
"We're very excited and grateful," Edwards said. He said he's been touched by the expressions of support he's received in the past day. "This just goes to show how great this community is."
But, he added, the Jaycees still need volunteers to help with the event.
On Tuesday, the Jaycees announced they had to cancel the annual event because they could not secure insurance for the fireworks show. While club members were disappointed, the news caused near anguish around Marion County for much of Wednesday.
One woman wrote on Facebook that her first date with her husband was at the first God and Country Day 43 years ago. Others complained bitterly.
Among those disappointed was Michael Peters, former owner of the Ocala Raceway. He was one of several people in Ocala who contacted the Star-Banner on Wednesday with the possibility of an underwriter willing to insure the event.
"I'm a veteran and some holidays like Memorial Day and Independence Day are kind of special to me," Peters said. "Plus, it's a big deal for kids and families."
So, he said, he got on the phone, called friends and "some insurance companies I'm aware of to see what they could do." Peters said he has "seven years of experience presenting special events, including fireworks."
At least one of the insurers he contacted said yes, and the commitment documents were on his desk by late afternoon.
To help defray the cost, Peters said he donated $1,000; also donating similar amounts were Ride Now Motor Sports and Wells Fargo Bank, he said.
"This is a nice event for Ocala," he added. "It needs to stick around."
Now comes the scramble to get everything back in place in a week. Edwards said many of the vendors already are back on board and the fireworks are set as well.
But he added that the Jaycees need volunteers to assist with operations on the day itself.
"The day of we'll need volunteers to help park cars, run errands and such," he said.
Edwards asked that anyone willing to offer some time to help that day to email him at email@example.com.

Change Needed in America's Climate Right Now
September 8, 2013
We often refer to the global economy as one in which we are all connected by information and commerce of all types, but the reference is much more literal....
Wiener, there only about 500 climate scientists, ALL OF THEM MILKING THE GW PAYROLL, who believe in this crap.
The Vast VAST majority not ON THE PAYROLL think there is way too much evidence to the contrary on effects of humans and CO2 on the climate.
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The IPCC says it is "95 per cent confident" that global warming has been caused by humans - up from 90 per cent in 2007 – according to the draft report.
However, US climate expert Professor Judith Curry has questioned how this can be true as that rather than increasing in confidence, "uncertainty is getting bigger" within the academic community. Long-term cycles in ocean temperature, she said, suggest the world may be approaching a period similar to that from 1965 to 1975, when there was a clear cooling trend.
At the time some scientists forecast an imminent ice age.
Professor Anastasios Tsonis, of the University of Wisconsin, said: "We are already in a cooling trend, which I think will continue for the next 15 years at least. There is NO DOUBT the warming of the 1980s and 1990s has stopped."

I have BS in Electrical Engineering from Ohio State and MSEE from Cal State.

The Oregon Petition has over 31,000 signatories. Over 9,000 report to have a Ph.D.s, mostly in engineering.
The text of the petition reads, in its entirety:
" We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind. There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

dah is again displaying his tendency toward verbal dia-rhrea that takes over when he is unable to present a coherent concise argument to support his position. It's a tough call between the enormous intellect and awesome expertise of dah vs. the great majority of credible science when it comes to climate change, but I have decided to go with science. Those who choose dah might want to buy up all the available Florida waterfront property they can get their hands on. It will make a nice gift to your grandchildren.

Promo61 you nailed it. This is the narcissistic baby boomers who think THEY alone can change the world and believe man is powerful enough to overide the sun and the earth.
Earth was 15 degrees WARMER and CO2 was 2000 ppm 65 million years ago when dinosaurs ruled the earth with NO MAN or Coal Power Plants!!!
Yes the earth managed to drop 15 degrees and bring on the dawn of man.
Man's effect on the climate is about the same as pizzing in the ocean.

Cowtransplant, your posts are Udder nonsense!
It was Al Gore who claimed "THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED. Global warming is real"
Yet there has been nothing but increasing scientific evidence that man-caused Global warming is a MYTH not supported by any evidence.
Even the UN International Panel of Climate Crooks (IPCC) threw the latest report back in the face of the "legitimate Scientists" and demanded 1500 changes and corrections.
Only a few flat earth believers who flunked science class and haven't figured out how to use the Internet believe in this hoax.

I don't care how educated this author is, engineering climate change is a pipe dream. It is the height of hubris to think that human beings can somehow wave a Harry Potter wand and make things happen at our whim. His laundry list of causes includes natural events (which I'm sure the author believes we are also responsible for) but completely ignores bovine flatulence. If it was serious enough for the feds to commission a study it MUST have an impact,right? Yet it is ignored by this author. Most of you will go to your graves crying for the sky to fall and wonder why it didn't happen.

I am particularly disappointed with the dogmatic refusal of this newspaper to see beyond the issue of extraction of coal and to acknowledge the vastly greater issue of the damage being wrought on the very systems that sustain life and human civilizations on this small planet. I find it hard to believe that the editors and owners of the WI are oblivious to the dramatic changes now occurring in the world's climate systems and the enormous human suffering that will ensue as these systems are altered. The WI is contributing to the forces more interested in short-term profit and power than it is in the long-term wellbeing of the people and future generations who will be forced to live in a much diminished world.

Thanks for the input, cal. The volume of scientific evidence and overwhelming agreement of more than 95% of legitimate climate scientists plus the reporting in peer review journals clearly support the finding that human influenced climate change is significantly altering the natural world and threatens to overwhelm human societies. The minor natural perturbations of the climatic process do not negate the clearly established long-term trends that are increasingly pointing to extremely difficult challenges for civilization. We are indeed well along in the process of undermining climatic and other natural processes that have favored human life on this planet for tens of thousands of years. Hopefully, we can move past the nearsighted deniers of science and gain some semblance of control over our own actions so as to mitigate what is already well on its way to be an unparalleled disaster.

Thank you, Professor Wraith, for clearing this up. Take heed, Wheeldog and Geo. You are arguing with a real expert on everything.
I was taught in college that when debaters employ such terms as "all", "none", "always", "never" ect...they are demonstrating their need to re-take the class.
Dr. Wraith, hopefully, in 20 years, you'll be doing nothing but holding your breath.

Wienerdawg, you as STUCK on STUPID!
You're are babbling 1996 Global Warming Alarmist BUUUSHEEET!
Get a CLUE, CLOWN! All of the recent science on Climate Change shows the original data is a fraud and the new information shows THERE IS NO GLOBAL Warming.
More Evidence of a coming Ice Age SOON, which I have been predicting for 3 years.
Historically, the earth ALWAYS got warmer----right before it plunged into another Ice Age!!
In 20 years we may be building coal power plants to INCREASE CO2 in the atmosphere to combat GLOBAL COOLING!
And I will be LM FAO!!!

Now there are DIRE CONSEQUENCES of the STUPIDITY of WeinerDawg "predictions".
The climate scientists should be PROSECUTED and JAILED or at least held financially liable for their ERRORS.
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Here is a typical Weinerdawg "DIRE" Prediction
"Only six years ago, the BBC reported that the Arctic would be ice-free in summer by 2013, citing a scientist in the US who claimed this was a 'conservative' forecast. Perhaps it was their confidence that led more than 20 yachts to try to sail the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific this summer.
As of last week, all these vessels were stuck in the ice, some at the eastern end of the passage in Prince Regent Inlet, others further west at Cape Bathurst.
Shipping experts said the only way these vessels were likely to be freed was by the icebreakers of the Canadian coastguard. According to the official Canadian government website, the Northwest Passage has remained ice-bound and impassable all summer.
The BBC's 2007 report quoted scientist Professor Wieslaw Maslowski, who based his views on super-computer models and the fact that 'we use a high-resolution regional model for the Arctic Ocean and sea ice'.

Some eminent scientists now believe the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century – A PROCESS THAT WOULD EXPOSE COMPUTER FORECASTS OF IMMINENT CATASTROPHIC WARMING AS DANGEROUSLY MISLEADING.
The disclosure comes 11 months after The Mail on Sunday triggered intense political and scientific debate by revealing that global warming has 'paused' since the beginning of 1997 – an event that the computer models used by climate experts failed to predict.
In March, this newspaper further revealed that temperatures are about to drop below the level that the models forecast with '90 per cent certainty'.

Wheezerdawg, F*** your PREDICTIONS, have you seen the REALITY of the pictures of the size of the Arctic Ice Pack the summer???
UK Daily Mail: Now it is GLOBAL COOLING!
A chilly Arctic summer has left nearly a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year – an increase of 60 per cent.
The rebound from 2012's record low comes six years after the BBC reported that global warming would leave the Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013.
Instead, days before the annual autumn re-freeze is due to begin, an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia's northern shores.
The Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific has remained blocked by pack-ice all year. More than 20 yachts that had planned to sail it have been left ice-bound and a cruise ship attempting the route was forced to turn back.

Curious. How many here happened to read this month's issue of National Geographic? It features articles on the impacts of global warming on global sea levels, including projections that can only be described as dire. The WI bemoans a so-called "war on coal" while the world literally goes to he-ll in a hand basket. There is no "war on coal", but rather relatively mild effort to gain some semblance of control over the enormous volume of greenhouse gasses being disgorged into the thin layer of atmosphere that nurtures the world. Sadly, we have already passed the point of no return insofar as negative environmental impacts are concerned. The only question now is, how bad will it be?

Put the wind-generated electricity on the electrical power grid and reduce the fossil-fuel-derived power generation requirement AND its accompanying CO2 production to MORE than offset the amount of CO2 you are turning into methane. You can't get something for nothing, unless you're selling snake oil.
The point's the same as always. You can't turn low-energy CO2 into high-energy methane with no losses. Audi may be doing it, but not because it's efficient. Companies sometimes do things that net negative profit just because they have "green" propaganda value. This is one of those. And you fell for it, GEO.

(NBC) -- Friday, Hostess Brands announced it would shut down the company after a strike crippled its operations.
Though the fate of its products - from Ho Hos to Ding-Dongs to Wonder Bread - is uncertain, you can calm your Twinkie panic with this home-spun recipe. Cookbook author Todd Wilbur has been cloning some of America's favorite name-brand foods for more than 20 years and here, he recreates the iconic yellow cakes.
Recipe: Twinkies
Todd Wilbur
Non-stick spray
4 egg whites
One 16-ounce box golden pound cake mix
2/3 cup water
2 teaspoons very hot water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar)
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
You will need a spice bottle, approximately the size of a Twinkie, ten 12 x 14 -inch pieces of aluminum foil, a cake decorator or pastry bag, and a chopstick.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Fold each piece of aluminum foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top of the mold open for pouring in the batter. Make 10 of these molds and arrange them on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan. Grease the inside of each mold with a light coating of non-stick spray.
Disregard the directions on the box of cake mix. Instead, beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl combine cake mix with water and beat until thoroughly blended (about 2 minutes). Fold egg whites into the cake batter and slowly combine until completely mixed.
Pour the batter into the molds, filling each one about 3/4 of an inch. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
For the filling, combine salt with the hot water in a small bowl and stir until salt is dissolved. Let this mixture cool.
Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy.
Add the salt solution to the filling mixture and combine.
When the cakes are done and cooled, use a skewer or chopstick to make three holes in the bottom of each one. Move the stick around inside of each cake to create space for the filling.
Using a cake decorator or pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three holes.

- Located in 'Sants' district this fully equipped apartment has capacity to accommodate up to 3 visiting guests, within it´s double bedroom, single bedroom and living room. This typical Barcelona style apartment is clean and quiet, very bright and airy, and it is equipped with air conditioning and heating. There are original floor tiles throughout, classic Barcelona in a very relaxing atmosphere.
It´s in a 4th floor (bad thing there´s no elevator, good thing is a good way of burning the extra calories of the gorgeous spanish food).
-We provide free wi-fi and clean sheets and towels to make your stay in Barcelona as confortable as at home.
-Since you won´t be sahring the flat is ideal for families or groups of friends.
About the location:
- Metro lines (green and red) 250m from building exit!
- Great for Barcelona Airport (20 mins each way).
- Girona Airport Bus easy connection (10 mins from Bus Station by Metro)
"Sants" district is 15mis walk from Barcelona's centre, and one of the most lively and interesting areas of the city.
Located in the very famous Plaça España, is ideal for those who attend to international conventions in "Fira de Barcelona"
The brand new 'Arenas' Shopping complex - designed by the prestigious Hight Tech architect Richard Rogers over an old Bull Rings, offers everything you may need going from supermarkets, all kind of shops, restaurants, caffes, cinemas to a gym.
At Plaça España you can also find the The Magic Fountain, one of the last projects on the site of the 1929 Universal Exhibition, which included the cascades and smaller fountains which fill Avinguda de Maria Cristina and its dancing water show.
Just arround the corner ( i mean it literally) you´ll find The Caixa Forum, one of the main Modern Art Cultural Centers and The Olympic Stadium.
The Cataluya National Art Museum, The Mies Van der Rohe Pabillion and The Joan Miró fundation are also very close by. You can see some of them from the window.
A 15 minutes walk in the opposite direction and you're in the nerve centers of Barcelona: Plaça de Catalunya, leading on one side to the Ramblas and on the other to Passig the Gràcia Av.
At 3 blocks from the entrance, you´ll find the aerobus stop 'Plaza Espaya' and the Metro Lines 1 and 3 (red and green), from where you can easily connect to any area of the city.
The area is really safe and offers an excellent variety of shops, cafes & restaurants and it's out of the main tourist trap of Old Barcelona (better looking in picts than in real life) but only 20 mins away from the gothic quarter.
Places of interest:
-There's a large supermarket Mercadona and "Veritas Organic products" supermarket (in the Arenas shopping centre) very close by.
-A Bike rental store just arround the corner
For an extra 30 euros we offer transfer service from the airport.

die Unterkunft war sauber Schlüsselübergabe hat gut geklappt Wohnung ist relativ ruhig zentral gelegen alles gut
We (a family with two young kids (3,6y), a grandmother, parents) stayed in this apartment for 4 nights. The apartment is absolutely recommendable, because the beds are good, it is clean, it is spacious enough to accommodate 6 people. You can eat together in the open kitchen on a table. The contact person to hand over kees was very reliable and on time. The appartment is in the middle of the fancy area El Born and the flat is very quite for Barcelona. If you need something to eat you just go out and grab some tapas or a drink around the corner. Jaume is the next Metro station which takes you 8 min to get there. Supermarket are everywhere at that place. Two playgrounds for small kids are 5 min away. All in all we were lucky to find this apartment!
We enjoyed staying at Gabie's apartment. It is located in the old part of Barcelona, with little, narrow streets and nice shops and cafes. It's only 5-10 minutes by foot to the metro, and 10 minutes by foot to Placa Catalunya. The apartment itself was clean and had everything we needed.
Bonjour à tous, nous avons séjouné 4 nuits dans cet appartement en février 2015. Tout s'est bien passé. L'appartement est situé au dernier étage dans une rue tranquille à 100 m du métro Estancia. L'ascenseur s'arrête à l'étage en dessous. Tout était propre. L'appartement est climatisé. Tous les commerces nécessaires sont à proximité. Nous avons été accueillis par une amie de la propriétaire qui se charge également du ménage à la fin du séjour. Coté pratique, il manque une cafetière électrique, une planche à découper, un balai. Et enfin, la propriétaire répond très rapidement à nos questions.
We enjoyed our visit. We had a warm welcome. The accommodation was neat and tidy. We liked the interesting spanish residential building. It was in a convenient location. With the nearby metro we could discover Barcelona easily.
davvero un alloggio comodo,completo di tutto quel che serve per un soggiorno tranquillo e rilassante.
bellissimo il soggiorno e molto comode e funzionali le due camere da letto.
il bagno e la cucina erano organizzati molto bene.
dispiace di non aver salutato e conosciuto di persona il proprietario di casa..colgo quà l'occasione per ringraziarlo di tutto e salutarlo!

We had a great stay in Barcelona. The owner is indeed very flexible, clean wash and bedlinnen and the appartement was clean as well.
We walked every sight from the appartement in the city center.
And close to the Catharina market, wich we loved!
Only one remark: the kitchenette could use Some renewing.
Zentrale Lage in Mataró in der Altstadt, an der Ecke veganes Cafe, Bioladen, Kneipen und Restaurants. Nette Wohnung, wenn auch etwas hellhörig. Wenn aber noch ein Radio, TV und/oder Wifi vorhanden wären, dann wäre die Unterkunft perfekt
This flat is in the amazing location! It is just close to all places you would like to go, such as the Picasso museum, Santa Maria del Mar, Parc de la ciutadella and the zoo! As we have very young children, we needed to stay where we can get within 10 mins walk and this flat was an ideal place. We went to the big market (only 5 mins walk) and bought all the fresh stuff to cook 3 meals a day in the kitchen. We do recommend you to explorer the area when you get this flat as you will eventually get an idea where shops and major tourist places are.

Born on April 10, 1929 in Lund, Sweden, von Sydow was raised by his father, Carl, a professor of Scandinavian and Irish folklore at the Royal University, and his mother, Greta, a school teacher. With no theatre in the area, von Sydow absorbed novels in his youth. But when he was 14, a modern theatre was built in nearby Malmo. The young lad was immediately taken by its magic, leading to him and his friends forming their own company where they performed all the classics. Though his parents wanted him to study law, von Sydow went ahead with acting when he attended the Royal Dramatic Theatre - or as it was known in Sweden, Dramaten - where he studied the craft from 1948-1951.

text: All residents should certainly be able to hunt their own state, without high fees. Some families need to hunt to put meat on the table. Hunting another state is a luxury and should demand a higher price. That said, it should not be a luxury for only the wealthy. Out of state hunters already put a good bit of money into the local economy. This should be welcomed. If a state wants more NR money they should bump up the NR tag quota a few % points instead of raising the price of the tags. This would both bring more money into the State's revenue AND into local economies.

Constituency Responses
Summary: BL and CILIP believes that the changes are not necessary or helpful; others agree in general.
1. Collective Titles: ACOC, CCC, DNB, LC agree.
2. Predominant Work: ACOC, CCC, DNB, LC agree.
3. Resources Issued in More Than One Part: ACOC, CCC, and LC all offer revisions. ALA position needed.
I like LC's revision which results in combining a) & b). Note that if this happens, the final reference to categories e) & f) need to be changed to d) & e).
I do not like ACOC's proposal for b) -- the numbering in a CD set establishes an order; it's just not a helpful one.
I am happy to accept CCC's proposed revisions, although the ones proposed for a) and b) would not be necessary if LC's proposal to combine those two is approved.
I think I can live with LC's proposal for category d).
I am especially interesting in hearing from serials experts to ensure that the proposed modifications still meet their needs.
- Glennan (PCC), 10/15/12
-- John Attig/JSC Rep 2012/10/10
One thing that is new with the ALA proposal is the inclusion of instructions for a resource that has a main or predominant work. The absence of such an instruction anywhere in RDA was alluded to in an RDA-L message this afternoon. - Glennan (PCC), 10/15/12
Comment on CCC response to 184.108.40.206: I generally have no objection to these proposed changes. I should note, however, that the Sources TF specifically decided to propose the use of "manifests" instead of "embodies" in the 1st paragraph as being more in line with the way RDA uses FRBR terminology. - Glennan (PCC), 10/15/12
I'm not sure LC's combination of a) and b) is any better than our two separate categories; no matter how we try to present this as a principled approach, what we're really saying is "ignore sequential numbering whenever you want to." I don't think the numbering of a compact disc set containing an opera is any less significant than the numbering of a three-volume monograph.
LC's rewording of d), is not, as they say, going back to the original wording. The original wording was "not sequentially numbered," and we would not want to go back to that because no one knows what it means. I don't think LC's version here means quite the same thing as our original proposed text, and the text ACOC proposes for b) ("the numbering does not help to establish an order") may actually be closer to what we were trying to say. But again we're all really just struggling to come up with something that sounds better than "ignore numbering if you want to." And that may be part of the reason for BL and CILIP's lack of enthusiasm for this proposal.
Since the proposed text for c) is unchanged, I don't see any potential problems related to serials cataloging. No matter how many times we offer opportunities to ignore numbering, serials catalogers are unlikely to take them. --Robert J. Rendall 11:39, 16 October 2012 (PDT)
Yes, my reaction to the ACOC wording for d) was that it was an elegant solution to something that the TF has been wrestling with. I am inclined to support it. -- John Attig/JSC Rep 2012/10/17
ACOC actually suggested this wording for b) - I don't think it works there (see Kathy's comment above) but I think we could use it for d). --Robert J. Rendall 08:09, 17 October 2012 (PDT)

Valley Forge FAQs
Washington speech to rally the troops
Q.I am looking for a copy of the speech that George Washington made at Valley Forge to rally the troops behind him. I am a captain in the Illinois Army National Guard and plan on using it as a motivational tool.
Timothy J. Stewart, McHenry, Illinois
A.There is not a particular speech that General Washington made at Valley Forge to rally the troops. Over time, excerpts from all of his writings over the encampment period and the entire Revolutionary War have been so quoted out of context it has led to some general misunderstandings about the things that were actually said at Valley Forge. The General had great concern for his troops. He was constantly in contact with Congress trying to obtain food, clothing and munitions for the men. Any sort of "speeches" would have been issued in General Orders and not necessarily read by the General himself. For example, you can read the following General Orders from Valley Forge:
General Orders Headquarters, Valley Forge Sunday, March 1, 1778
Parole Arnold.
Countersigns Ashford, Almsbury
The Commander in Chief again takes occasion to return his warmest thanks to the virtuous officers and soldiery of this Army for that persevering fidelity and Zeal which they have uniformly manifested in all their conduct. Their fortitude not only under the common hardships incident to a military life but also under the additional sufferings to which the peculiar situation of these States have exposed them, clearly proves them worthy of the enviable privilege of contending for the rights of human nature, the Freedom and Independence of their Country. The recent Instance of uncomplaining Patience during the scarcity of provisions in Camp is a fresh proof that they possess in an eminent degree the spirit of soldiers and the magnanimity of Patriots. The few refractory individuals who disgrace themselves by murmurs it to be hoped have repented such unmanly behaviour, and resolved to emulate the noble example of their associates upon every trial which the customary casualties of war may hereafter throw their way. Occasional distress for want of provisions and other necessaries is a spectacle that frequently occurs in every army and perhaps there never was one which has been in general so plentifully supplied in respect to the former as ours. Surely we who are free Citizens in arms engaged in a struggle for every thing valuable in society and partaking in the glorious task of laying the foundation of an Empire, should scorn effeminately to shrink under those accidents and rigours of War which mercenary hirelings fighting in the cause of lawless ambition, rapine and devastation, encounter with cheerfulness and alacrity, we should not be merely equal, we should be superior to them in every qualification that dignifies the man or the soldier in proportion as the motive from which we act and the final hopes of our Toils, are superior to theirs. Thank Heaven! our Country abounds with provision and with prudent management we need not apprehend want for any length of time. Defects in the Commissaries department, Contingencies of weather and other temporary impediments have subjected and may again subject us to a deficiency for a few days, but soldiers! American soldiers! will despise the meanness of repining at such trifling strokes of Adversity, trifling indeed when compared to the transcendent Prize which will undoubtedly crown their Patience and Perseverance, Glory and Freedom, Peace and Plenty to themselves and the Community; The Admiration of the World, the Love of their Country and the Gratitude of Posterity!
Your General unceasingly employs his thoughts on the means of relieving your distresses, supplying your wants and bringing you labours to a speedy and prosperous issue. Our Parent Country he hopes will second his endeavors by the most vigorous exertions and he is convinced the faithful officers and soldiers associated with him in the great work of rescuing our Country from Bondage and Misery will continue in the display of that patriotic zeal which is capable of smoothing every difficulty and vanquishing every Obstacle.
[Orders continue, regarding court martials and daily events.]
For a second example, read the following personal letter which Washington wrote to one of his Generals regarding his service:
To Brigadier General John Glover
Headquarters, Valley Forge, February 18, 1778
Sir: I am favoured with yours of the 27th. of last Month Since, from the circumstances you represent, your continuance where you are, may be for some time necessary, I cannot but acquiesce in it, while that necessity continues; but I must hope, you will not delay a moment to join your Brigade, when the exigency, which now detains you from it, ceases.
Your presence, as that of every other General Officer, will be essentially requisite, to aid me in carrying to execution, many important new arrangements, which, there is a prospect, will take place, for the reformation and better establishment of the Army.
Excuse me Sir, if I hesitate to give my concurrence to the desire you express, of quitting the Army. I have too high an opinion of your value, as an Officer, to do any thing that may contribute to your relinquishing that Character. My earnest wish is, that you may continue in it. The spirit of resigning, which is now become almost epidemical, is truly painful and alarming. This spirit, prevailing among many of the best Officers, from various inducements, if persisted in, must deeply wound the common cause. You cannot but be convinced, the situation of the Army is such, that it can ill bear the loss of good Officers, and such would do well to consider how much they put to the hazard, by doing any thing to weaken the sinews of our contest, at so critical a time. I am persuaded, if these ideas were properly realized, they would endure great inconveniences and make great sacrifices, rather than withdraw their services. I am fully sensible of the disadvantages Officers have hitherto laboured under the insufficiency of their appointments; but measures have been, and I flatter myself, others, still more ineffectual, will be taken, to remedy this evil. I am impressing the necessity of it. by every argument in my power and you may assure yourself that no endeavor of mine will be omitted, to remove so just a cause of complaint. I am etc.
The amount of writing that went on at Valley Forge is enormous. You can find more information in various series of books with the manuscripts of George Washington in them. There is an old series by J. Sparks as well as the George Washington Bicentennial Commission edition from 1934. The University of Virginia is the home of the Washington Papers and you can visit their page on the Internet. They are currently working on, I believe, a 100+ volume edition of the writings of Washington.

1961 Chevrolet BiscayneWritten by on October 1, 1997 Troy Trepanier and his dad Jack have done it again...
Troy Trepanier and his dad Jack have done it again. Outdoing such outrageous cars as a Buick (CC, Aug. 1992) and a super-smooth 1967 Chevelle (CC, Nov. 1995), they've created "Bisquik"--an absolutely otherworldly 1961 Chevy Biscayne two-door sedan.
With the 21st century rapidly approaching, this car embodies everything we'd like to see in a street machine for the year 2000. Where to start? We can begin with the ultra-smooth and subtle graphics that, when combined with 1997 Acura PPG white and silver hues, give the car the perfect look. Moving on, there are tricks such as a fabricated dash Troy built that houses a complete set of Auto Meter gauges. We could go on and on with glowing descriptions of every last detail on the car, but the best way to see what we're talking about is to study the photos carefully. Study how the 604-inch Trick Flow aluminum big-block fits perfectly underhood. Study how the 20-inch wheels and tires in the back tuck up under the Biscayne's fenderwells as if they were made for the car. Study how the super-simple interior really drives home the old cliche that less is (and always will be) more.
Seeing this car being uncovered at Troy's Manteno, Illinois, shop was like getting an instant education on the state of street machine art as it should be for 1997. Built almost entirely at Rad Rides by Troy, the car also represents what we believe to be the best marriage of name and body style that we've seen in many years. While "Bisquick" as a pancake and biscuit mix has been around for decades, remove the "c," and the word will now forever describe a true high point in custom street machine fabrication.
An important factor that makes Bisquik so unusual is the choice of body style. The unique roof overhang over the rear window is but one of several styling elements that make the car unlike anything else. Also unlike nearly anything else is its source of motivation--the 604-cube mill that really puts the "quik" in the name. Built using Trick Flow's new Sonny Leonard-designed aluminum blocks, these monsters can incorporate up to 800 ci if desired. The block accepts big-block Chevy-pattern cylinder heads, and, in this case, a pair of Edelbrock Performer heads are the choice. Other internals include a forged-steel Trick Flow crank, Lunati rods, and Lunati pistons. With these elements paired up with the exact fuel-metering capabilities of a Street & Performance EFI system, an estimated 600-plus hp should be plenty "quik" indeed.
As might be expected, most people probably think Bisquik was built to be nothing but a show car that rolls around on a trailer. You'd be wrong, however, since the car has already been on the entire 1997 Hot Rod Power Tour from Los Angeles to Detroit. It was finished just in time for that trip, and it was also driven to California from Illinois for the tour. After all, how can a Biscayne be "quik" if all it does is sit on a trailer?
800/763-8743 orders
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow

 Fresh from the Hot Rod Power Tour, Jack Treanier cruised Bisquik around Manteno, Illinois, for Scott Killeen's moving camera. The body itself remains mostly stock but is cleaned up with shaved door handles and smoothed-out bumpers. The silver and white PPG urethane enamel paint shades are from the 1997 Acura color wheel.

 The 604 big-block is Chevy-based and uses Edelbrock aluminum heads. The Trick Flow aluminum block has a 4.5-inch bore and a 4.75-inch-stroke Trick Flow crank. Machined at Summit Racing, the engine also uses a Lunati roller lifter cam and Crower pushrods. The Street & Performance EFI system uses S&P fuel rails, a TPI-type throttle body, and a GM computer with an S&P chip. Troy Trepanier fabbed the upper intake system and body-color-painted cover. The master cylinder and power-brake booster are from a Geo Metro.

 It's not what you see inside Bisquik, but rather what you don't see. For example, the power window and lock switches are mounted at the front of the stock bench seat, just underneath the driver's and passenger's legs. The steering column was pirated from an 1988 Chevy Cavalier. An Orion-amplified stereo is also tucked away throughout the cabin. The interior wiring was done with Painless Wiring harnesses. A Boyd's Ultra Classic wheel connects driver to car, while things are kept dry with A&M Soffseal rubber window seals.

 Troy fabbed the cold-rolled steel covers that fit behind the Boyd's Billet Vintage wheels. The front 18x7-inch wheels are wrapped with BFGoodrich Comp T/A P235/40ZR18 skins. The stratospheric rear combo includes 20x10-inch wheels and P275/35ZR20 donuts.

Bisquik's perfect stance was achieved by lowering the ball joints on the frontend and removing one coil on the springs. The control arms were also C-notched and stepped. The car's original dropout-type centersection rearend is supported by boxed control arms, and an airbag system allows the back of the car to be leveled off when the trunk is loaded up for road trips. Since there's also room inside for six, the airbag system also comes in handy when the car becomes the official Rad Rides by Troy staff limo

 Visible on the passenger side of the Trick Flow 604 V-8 are the compressor for the Vintage Air A/C system and custom-built headers that lead to an HPC-coated 3-inch exhaust system. Flowmaster mufflers quell the engine's song. A Griffin radiator keeps the engine cool during hot Illinois summers. The valve covers read "Bisquik--Rad Rides by Troy." Also note the fuel-pressure gauge mounted in the fuel rail, which helps ensure that the 42 psi setting is maintained for the fuel system.

 The spacious trunk is home to a pair of Orion amps and a Pioneer CD changer. Note the fuel filler and a gauge for the car's airbag system on the left. The two buttons above the dial allow the car to be raised or lowered, depending on load. The perfect, level ride height is therefore never compromised.

ATLANTA - You've probably seen the "Choose Life" license plate Georgia has offered for about six years.
But what could a North Carolina Federal Judge's ruling mean about its future?
U.S. District Court Judge James C. Fox ruled that North Carolina can no longer make or sell its "Choose Life" specialty plate until it also offers a Pro Choice version.
"We had the same thing here in Georgia a few years ago where our Republican controlled legislature offered the same kind of bill," State Senator Gloria Butler (D-Stone Mountain) told 11 Alive News on Tuesday.
Georgia's General Assembly passed a bill in 2006 approving our state's "Choose Life" plate, but voted down Senator Butler's amendment to offer a Pro Choice version as well.
Now she's thinking about trying again.
"This is my first time hearing today of the ruling in North Carolina, but it is something that I can think about doing," Butler said.
At least 27 states offer Pro Choice license plates, but only about 4 offer a Pro Choice alternative.
Atlanta attorney Alan Begner, who specializes in such cases, calls the North Carolina judge's ruling a clear issue of free speech.
"Under classic First Amendment law, a government cannot deny the message based on the content of the message," he told 11 Alive.
Georgia Right to Life issued a statement saying it was "deeply discouraged by this latest example of judicial activism."
"The North Carolina legislature expressed the will of its people by only offering Pro Life license plates. The Georgia legislature has done the same. Those who agree with this ruling reveal their hypocrisy of only supporting choices that support their agenda," the statement added.
11 Alive left messages with the ACLU of Georgia to see if it might also challenge this state's law, but has gotten no reply so far.
It seems like Georgia will continue to offer only one version unless and until there is a challenge.

Working together through the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI), the United States and the nations of the Caribbean are combating the drug trade and other transnational crimes that threaten regional security. This partnership fulfills the commitment to deepen regional security cooperation that President Barack Obama made at the Fifth Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago in April 2009. CBSI is one piece in an integrated effort that includes the other citizen security initiatives in the Hemisphere. The United States, CARICOM member nations, and the Dominican Republic are improving citizen safety throughout the Caribbean by working together to:
CBSI partner nations have collectively identified several priority areas for cooperation. These include building a regional information sharing network, improving maritime interdiction coordination, and developing regional training capacity. Effective solutions to these challenges will require a sustained commitment from all CBSI partners, as well as the assistance of other international donors.
The United States is making a significant contribution to CBSI, committing $203 million in funding for the first three years of the initiative. This contribution includes assistance in the following areas, all developed through the CBSI cooperative dialogue process:
Barbados will benefit directly from several of the programs described above, to include:

What causes the difference in vowelization of the Hebrew word for "what"? In some contexts it is מֶה, in others - מָה, and in yet others - מַה. The hypothesis that an acquaintance and I converged on was that only when preceding a guttural (or lower) consonant is it מֶה, but this was falsified by "במה מדליקין".
What is the rule governing this change?
(Apologies for the imprecise transliteration in the title. My American English-speaking conscience couldn't bear to make a kamatz an 'o' and I saw no better alternative.)

The state has now spent nearly $3 million fighting a wildfire that started a month ago in Pender County.
North Carolina Forest Service officials said the fire is 85 percent contained and has burned more than 31,000 acres since starting on June 19 from a lightning strike.
Firefighters say the soil could continue to burn for weeks and send more smoke over the region unless the area gets a prolonged, heavy rainfall.
The fire is burning primarily in the Holly Shelter Game Land. Officials have closed the preserve to the public because the burned soil has made many of the trees unstable.
Authorities say 46 firefighters will continue to fight the blaze, looking for spot fires outside the containment area and building better containment lines.
The wildfire is currently 85 percent contained. Officials issued code orange air quality alerts for Onslow and Duplin Counties today.
Forestry officials report they now have the Juniper Road Wildfire in Pender County 85 percent contained.
However, the smoke from the fire is still causing unhealthy air in some parts of Eastern Carolina. Residents along and near the coast will see the worst air quality levels Wednesday.
Code red air quality levels have been issued for parts of Pender and Onslow Counties. The eastern part of Onslow County, southern areas of Jones and Craven Counties and western Carteret County are all under code orange alert.
Ground fire increased Monday at the Juniper Road wildfire in Pender County. Officials blame the hotter and drier weather conditions, which will only continue to worsen Tuesday.
Officials say without abundant rainfall on the fire, the smoke could persist for the rest of the summer.
Code purple air quality is forecast for parts of Pender and Onslow counties. Code red warnings extend into Onslow, Jones, Craven and Carteret counties Tuesday.
Crews working the Pains Bay Wildfire in Dare County are pulling back, keeping only their local units at the fire. The fully contained fire is showing decreased fire activity.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene say someone died after contracting rabies through an organ transplant. The officials say the person was one of four patients who received an organ from the same donor more than a year ago. After discovering the deceased and the donor, who is also deceased, had rabies, officials say the remaining three recipients are receiving anti-rabies shots.
Officials say the Maryland Deparmtnet of Health and Mental Hygiene started investigating earlier this month after the organ recipient died and was found to have rabies. The person had not been exposed to any animals with rabies and officials "identified the possibility of transplant-related transmission of rabies, which is extremely rare," said health officials in a press release.
A laboratory analysis showed that the person and their donor had a racoon-type rabies virus, which can also infect other animals. CDC officials say only one other person in the United States is reported to have died from this type of rabies virus.
As for the original donor, CDC officials say the donor became ill and was admitted to a healthcare facility in Florida where he or she died. That's apparently when the donor's organs, including kidneys, heart and liver, were sent to recipients in that state, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland, say officials. Testing for rabies was not done nor did anyone believe rabies was the cause of the donor's death at the time, but rabies was recently confirmed as the cause after the investigation in Maryland, according to officials. The donor used to live in North Carolina, and officials believe the donor may have contracted rabies there.
CDC officials say they are working with healthcare officials in five states to find people who were in close contact with the initial donor or the organ recipients so they can receive "rabies post-exposure treatment."

I'm in the same place as you, only about 5 years older (meaning I'll be too old to hunt 5 years sooner than you ). I've been looking over the numbers, and there is simply no way to make it look pretty. The thing that bothers me most is the tidal wave of point holders in the 10-12 point range. When those point classes start drawing, it's going to drive some crazy point creep. It's all an unknown, but some unknowns look worse than others.
15 years I can manage. 20 years would still be worth it. 30+ years? Crazy. If nothing else, something will change in the draw system, and who knows what all those points will be worth?
On the other hand, you can't win if you don't play the game.

Filmmakers behind the "Fast & Furious" franchise have paid tribute to Paul Walker by creating a video montage dedicated to the late star.
The 40-year-old actor died on Saturday in a car crash in Santa Clarita, California just days before he and his castmates were due to resume filming "Fast & Furious 7." The video was posted online with a link to Walker's charity Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW), encouraging fans to make donations to the organization in lieu of sending flowers.
Production on "Fast & Furious 7" has been put on hold by movie executives to allow the cast and crew to mourn Walker's death.

Jelena Jankovic thinks Roger Federer should back off.
The former WTA Penthouse resident hit back on comments made by Fed last month saying a baller who hasn't won a Grand Slam shouldn't hold the top ranking:
Why should he even care? I don't like putting my nose in other's business.JJ also made reference to some the Swiss' comments about fellow Serb Novak Djokovic's mid-match retirement during his Aussie Open quarterfinal match:
I mean, one thing I like about Nadal is that he is such a great champion, he is so humble, always has kind words for everybody, he is a role model for everybody.
Federer is a great champion, I don't want to get in a fight with him but why does he care, I really don't understand.
Why does he need to do that?
I don't think it's nice to attack other players. If he retired, he probably had his reasons, he knows better. You cannot attack someone when you don't have proof, when you don't have a piece of evidence.You know, I'm all for any baller speaking their mind so kudos to both JJ and Fed for expressing how they feel. There are too many instances these days of top ballers spouting off generic media talking points or answering scripted questions *yawn* so it's refreshing to hear these statements, regardless of how you feel about the issues. Nothing wrong with a little spice to heat things up.
There is no reason to offend him that way.
Besides, what the hell would I blog about, right?
*looks inquisitively into distance*
UPDATE: Here's the quote in question. Fed was discussing Andy Murray's chances of becoming the top baller after falling to the Brit baller in Doha...
Things change very quickly. But I hope if [Andy] were to become No.1 he would win a slam - not like the women's side. No disrespect to Jelena Jankovic but it took Rafa five grand slams to become No.1.He says "no disrespect" but when you bring someone's name into the conversation, you're asking for trouble. Just sayin'.

By: Celeste Little Posted: Oct. 5 2012 1:57 PM 0 NBC.com (The Root) -- On Thursday night, NBC premiered the first episode of what's set to be 30 Rock's final season. The sitcom, which has been on the network for the past six seasons, was every bit as sharp-witted as fans have come to expect. Tracy Morgan was in great oddball form with his unique way of giving relationship advice. Plus: Scandal keeps up with high-drama intrigue over on ABC. 30 Rock (Thursday, 8 p.m., NBC) "This is wonderful. Tracy Jordan is coming to dinner. Just like on that episode of Family Matters when Tracy Jordan came to dinner." --Kenneth "Thank you for saying that in dated urban slang so I'll understand you." --Tracy Highlight: Since things are getting steamy between Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) and Hazel -- they've already gone to second base, sharing yogurt -- he goes to Tracy (Morgan) for advice about how to keep things going. So of course, after suggesting that Kenneth make her chili naked and feed it to her out of his hands, Tracy heads over to their apartment. After popping Tracy's pet snake into the oven and snacking on some prescription-drug appetizers, they sit down for a chat. Perfectly normal. Scandal (Thursday, 10 p.m., ABC) "Well, we found him." --Abby "We just had to carry 300 pounds of pastor up the stairs and put him to bed. Where are you?!" --Olivia Highlight: Just after her nightly boo loving with Fitz (Tony Goldwyn), Olivia (Kerry Washington) gets a call from the wife of his longtime friend the Rev. Drake. It seems that he's gone missing. The team tracks his credit card to a strip club and busts down the door to his hotel room across the street to find him. He's big, dead and on top of a woman who is handcuffed to the bed. This is why we love this show. Watch the episode here. Celeste Little is an editorial intern at The Root. Like The Root on Facebook.

I am a Masters Student in the Health Systems Institute, and I received my undergrad degree from GT in Biomedical Engineering. I love to read, travel, and talk and learn about environmental issues... particularly love this site: treehugger
From working and observing at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, I think that when a patient first comes i they register, are sorted and may go through to a fast track area. Or they may go to a central waiting room. Then they see a nurse, are placed in a patient room, and eventually a doctor arrives to see them. They may need to leave for lab or radiology tests. They are not always admitted and may sometimes be discharged directly after being initially evaluated.
Today I learned that in the ED there is a delay not only because of a possible increase in patients, but also because patients cannot move from ED beds to beds in other units since those units may also be full. This just keeps pushing the problem farther back. Since such a variety of patients come to the ED, I wonder how much more intensive and longer the training is for ED doctors than those in other specialties.
For the ED Tour I will be interested in seeing how patients move through the process of registering, waiting, seeing the nurse, doctor, and being discharged. I will be paying extra attention to how often the patient and clinician is moving around, to see if that movement can be reduced by redesigning the units and/or rooms.

Children at risk: Consequences for school readiness and beyond
Short Description:
Key findings from this report indicate that a substantial percentage of children are disadvantaged in terms of resources available for healthy physical and mental development.
Key findings from this report indicate that a substantial percentage of children are disadvantaged in terms of resources available for healthy physical and mental development. One-fifth of children under age 6 live in poverty, and nearly half of all children face one or more risk factors associated with gaps in school readiness. These disadvantages translate into shortfalls in academic achievement, prosocial behavior, educational attainment, and, eventually, greater rates of unemployment and criminality.
