Taylor County is hosting a couple of annual clean-up events later this month, both of which are free of charge to the public.
The county and the Kentucky Division of Waste Management are holding their annual waste tire collection program Thursday, May 19, through Saturday, May 21, at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet building at 236 Bear Track Road.
The program will be from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on May 19 and 20 and from 8 a.m. to noon on May 21.
People stood outside the courthouse on an unusually cool day on Thursday to reaffirm what they see as this country's Christian traditions and principles.
At a National Day of Prayer event, Steve Wagers, pastor at Calvary Baptist Church, said he was glad to be an American, a Kentuckian and a Christian.
He quoted Psalms 33:12, which states: "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, and the people he has chosen for his inheritance."
Taylor M. Hatfield, 19, of 413 Taylor Boulevard in Campbellsville, was indicted for first-degree robbery in Marion Circuit Court on May 2.
A case involving a fatal shooting will go before a Taylor County grand jury.
At a preliminary hearing Friday, Taylor County District Judge Amy Anderson forwarded the William Calhoun case to a grand jury.
The Campbellsville Police Department arrested Calhoun, 25, of Lebanon, on Saturday, April 30, on charges of murder and first-degree assault.
A Lebanon man was arrested Saturday night in connection with two shootings, one of them fatal.
The Campbellsville Police Department arrested William M. Calhoun, 25, on charges of murder and first-degree assault.
Brianna D. Washington, 21, of Lebanon, was pronounced dead at the scene, and Shenitrea M. Vaughn, 21, of Campbellsville, was taken to Taylor Regional Hospital for possible life-threatening injuries, a CPD press release said.
Campbellsville City Council members had a first reading Monday night of the city's 2016/2017 fiscal year budget.
At $25,508,496, the budget is more than $6 million more than the current budget.
But Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young says most of the difference is in water and sewer budget, and comes from loan expenditures on water infrastructure improvement projects.
A Greensburg man accused of a sex crime against a minor was formally sentenced Monday morning, after having pleaded guilty in January.
Edward J. Summers, 23, of Hodgenville Road in Greensburg, was sentenced to five years on a charge of first-degree sexual abuse, a Class C felony.
Summers almost faced a jury trial, however, as he and his public defender Lauren Hunter made a motion to withdraw his guilty plea.
Taylor County Circuit Judge Todd Spalding denied that motion.
Senator Max Wise (R-Campbellsville) recently announced seven town hall meetings across the 16th Senate District beginning Monday, May 9. Wise will be accompanied at the meetings by each county's respective State Representative.
Contemporary Christian artist Amy Grant, along with Ellie Holcomb and Nichole Nordeman performed Friday night on their Live Life Together Tour in the Ransdell Chapel at Campbellsville University after the annual Derby Rose Gala.
The Derby Rose Gala is a fundraiser that raises funds for scholarships to help individuals attend CU. Since 2009, the Derby Rose Gala has raised over $250,000 for the general scholarship fund.
Each year, 50-75 students can't attend CU due to a lack of financial support, and the scholarship fund helps them attend.
A law that will take effect in July will allow those convicted of low-level felonies to request that their records are expunged.
Under House Bill 40, sponsored by House Judiciary Chair Darryl Owens (D-Louisville) and Rep. David Floyd (R-Bardstown), people who were convicted of Class D felonies can ask the court to permanently seal – or expunge – their records.
"House Bill 40 is about redemption," Owens said about HB 40 when it passed the House in January. "It's about second chances."

And again I tell you Duff we are changed people, grown up, full time jobs, commitments, homes and such. Yet you again assume what once was will always be. Surely you realise that since we were both unbanned that we are changed people, else why would we have been back again?
I find it almost sad and petty you keep locking these now to stop the discussion, as you are just going with this gut instinct of yours and acting in this manner. If all we cared about was angering you, why would we be here asking why we were banned, discussing it, when we could just spam up the forums insulting you and such? You seem unaware of the possibilities that we are two changed people, who were just having some fun after a hard weeks work.
I'm not really expecting much from you now Duff, you've shown two times you can't stand to reason by locking these discussions, but I will try for a third time none the less.

It's a shame the old logs have gone cause I remember it, there were 2 occasions I remember for sure... It was only 24 hours or so for one on them, and wasn't serious, we'd been trollin' each other in The Asylum one time and you'd abused your powers (you slag.), and one was semi-serious cause I had a flame war with some n00b outside of R&R.

capital city of Rome had strange beginnings. Or,
so the legend goes.
Twin baby boys named Romulus and Remus were taken from their human
mother and left to starve near the River Tiber. Lucky for them, a female
wolf came to their rescue and protected them in her cave. She nursed
them as her own children, until they were old enough to care for themselves.
Years later, around 753 B.C., the men began building the city of Rome
on the spot where they had been found by their adoptive mother.
Now there may be a real place tied to this legend. Historians have
been restoring some architecture on what is known to be the spot where
the city was originally founded. During this work, they discovered what
they believe is the cave described in the legend.
Whether or not Rome's founding legend is based in truth, it is well
documented that the city of Rome became the center of a vast empire.
Through its influence, sophisticated technologies like roads and water
systems were built throughout the empire. Without a doubt, Roman rule
shaped the development of modern civilization, even into the 21st century.
During this week's lesson, you will dig into what
life was like in Britain before and after Roman influence.
You will also meet the emperors who, collectively,
conquered and ruled most of Europe and North Africa.
by going to BBC Schools to meet the Iron
Age Celts. Here, you will find out how the ancient Britons,
or Celts, lived before the region was invaded by the Romans. As you
explore Celtic life, make a list of phrases that describe different
aspects of their daily life. For example, where they slept, how and
what they cooked, samples of their technology, and so forth. Start your
exploration In the Roundhouse. Continue through each topic in
the menu, all of the way through the last topic, Romans Rule.
Next at BBC Schools, visit The
Romans. This site explains how the people of Britain were affected
by the Roman Empire. As you explore this site, read the Fun Facts along
the side of the page and click underlined links for keyword definitions
and other helpful information.
first to find out more about the earliest history of The
City of Rome. Who ruled before a republic was established? What
was the Republic's governing body called? How long did they govern Rome?
How and why do you think the generals started taking control? Who was
the first emperor to rule? When you finish this first topic, take the
quiz and then mark it to find out how well you did.
As you make your way through the next topics, make a second list of
phrases about what daily life
was like after the Romans conquered the Celts. Your descriptions
should parallel the phrases on your pre-invasion list.
Start your comparisons
with the next topic, Invasion.
After reading about the topic, take the
Continue writing down comparisons as you review
the next topics: Rebellion, The
Roman Defence of Britain, The
Roman Army, Roads
and Places, Leisure, Families
and Children, Technology, Religion,
and Roman Remains.
Write a third list of phrases that describe daily life in Britain today.
Discuss the lists with classmates. What aspects of
Celtic life were changed by the Romans? What aspects
of Roman influence still exist today?
course, without the power and ambition of Rome's emperors,
starting in the first century, the city would probably
have not been built up into a widespread empire. To
find out more about their influence, your next exploration
takes you to The
Roman Empire in the First Century.
Click to the Special
Features section. To get an idea of
who is who in the history of the empire, review both
the Timeline and
the Augustan
Family Tree.
To better understand the personalities and some
of the challenges faced by Rome's rulers, play The
Emperor of Rome Game. Select one of the emperors and play
the game all of the way through. Play it twice more,
so that you have played the game as each of the
three emperors. How well did you do? What decisions were
the most difficult to make for you? What factors
influenced your decision?
Finish off your tour of the Roman Empire by reading the overview of
and clicking the underlined name of each emperor. Write a list of phrases
that describe some of the duties, issues, and challenges Roman emperors
generally faced in governing.
Browse The Enquirer e-edition if you are looking
for articles about space missions, including any research collection
or analysis. Select one aspect of living or working in space from
the article, and do some in-depth research about the history of human
understanding of that topic. For example, if solar panel technology interests
you, check into the development of solar panels over the years. If
the challenge of keeping muscles in shape while living in space interests
you, then research what scientists have learned about how muscles work (on
and off Earth) over the years. Build
a timeline that illustrates your findings, and create an illustration
that explains the basic principles of the science, technology,
or health topic that you selected. Present what you have learned
to classmates.

Okay, so they call it a "Newsview," which is, I guess, the AP's way of sliming the administration under its supposedly unbiased banner and not being called on it. Sorry Tom Raum, you're over the line on this one fella.In analyzing President Bush's recess appointment of John Bolton to the U.N., Raum dredges up all of the same adjectives used by 'objective' AP reporter-types when it comes to the Bushies and Bolton."In-your-face gesture," "built-in handicaps," "lame duck," "streak of stubbornness," "confrontational," are just a few of the niceties that grace the prose of Mr. Raum's tirade--fair enough when the piece is supposed to espouse an opinion. But in his commentary role, he could at least use quotes in context. Consider the following, especially the lack of an ellipsis:Some Republicans weren't too happy, either, although they generally said they understood Bush's rationale. "I understand why the president had to do this," said Sen. George Allen, R-Va, adding: "I think it's unfortunate that he had to use this option."The actual quote, courtesy of Mr. Raum's friends at the AP:"I accept and understand why the president had to do this. I think it's unfortunate that he had to use this option because John Bolton was denied the fairness of an up-or-down vote. I think John Bolton is well qualified. He is principled. And he will advocate for the U.S. taxpayers." -- Sen. George Allen, R-Va.Mr. Raum's byline states that he "has covered national and international affairs for Washington for The Associated Press since 1973." That explains why this reads like one of their regular stories.

Here among long-discarded cassocks,
Damp stools, and half-split open hassocks,
Here where the vicar never looks
I nibble through old service books.
Lean and alone I spend my days
Behind this Church of England baize.
I share my dark forgotten room
With two oil-lamps and half a broom.
The cleaner never bothers me,
So here I eat my frugal tea.
My bread is sawdust mixed with straw;
My jam is polish for the floor.
Christmas and Easter may be feasts
For congregations and for priests,
And so may Whitsun. All the same,
They do not fill my meagre frame.
For me the only feast at all
Is Autumn's Harvest Festival,
When I can satisfy my want
With ears of corn around the font.
I climb the eagle's brazen head
To burrow through a loaf of bread.
I scramble up the pulpit stair
And gnaw the marrows hanging there.
It is enjoyable to taste
These items ere they go to waste,
But how annoying when one finds
That other mice with pagan minds
Come into church my food to share
Who have no proper business there.
Two field mice who have no desire
To be baptized, invade the choir.
A large and most unfriendly rat
Comes in to see what we are at.
He says he thinks there is no God
And yet he comes ... it's rather odd.
This year he stole a sheaf of wheat
(It screened our special preacher's seat),
And prosperous mice from fields away
Come in to hear our organ play,
And under cover of its notes
Ate through the altar's sheaf of oats.
A Low Church mouse, who thinks that I
Am too papistical, and High,
Yet somehow doesn't think it wrong
To munch through Harvest Evensong,
While I, who starve the whole year through,
Must share my food with rodents who
Except at this time of the year
Not once inside the church appear.
Within the human world I know
Such goings-on could not be so,
For human beings only do
What their religion tells them to.
They read the Bible every day
And always, night and morning, pray,
And just like me, the good church mouse,
Worship each week in God's own house,
But all the same it's strange to me
How very full the church can be
With people I don't see at all
Except at Harvest Festival.
The bells of waiting Advent ring,
The Tortoise stove is lit again
And lamp-oil light across the night
Has caught the streaks of winter rain
In many a stained-glass window sheen
From Crimson Lake to Hookers Green.
The holly in the windy hedge
And round the Manor House the yew
Will soon be stripped to deck the ledge,
The altar, font and arch and pew,
So that the villagers can say
'The church looks nice' on Christmas Day.
Provincial Public Houses blaze,
Corporation tramcars clang,
On lighted tenements I gaze,
Where paper decorations hang,
And bunting in the red Town Hall
Says 'Merry Christmas to you all'.
And London shops on Christmas Eve
Are strung with silver bells and flowers
As hurrying clerks the City leave
To pigeon-haunted classic towers,
And marbled clouds go scudding by
The many-steepled London sky.
And girls in slacks remember Dad,
And oafish louts remember Mum,
And sleepless children's hearts are glad.
And Christmas-morning bells say 'Come!'
Even to shining ones who dwell
Safe in the Dorchester Hotel.
And is it true,
This most tremendous tale of all,
Seen in a stained-glass window's hue,
A Baby in an ox's stall ?
The Maker of the stars and sea
Become a Child on earth for me ?
And is it true ? For if it is,
No loving fingers tying strings
Around those tissued fripperies,
The sweet and silly Christmas things,
Bath salts and inexpensive scent
And hideous tie so kindly meant,
No love that in a family dwells,
No carolling in frosty air,
Nor all the steeple-shaking bells
Can with this single Truth compare -
That God was man in Palestine
And lives today in Bread and Wine.
Cocooned in Time, at this inhuman height,
The packaged food tastes neutrally of clay,
We never seem to catch the running day
But travel on in everlasting night
With all the chic accoutrements of flight:
Lotions and essences in neat array
And yet another plastic cup and tray.
"Thank you so much. Oh no, I'm quite all right".
At home in Cornwall hurrying autumn skies
Leave Bray Hill barren, Stepper jutting bare,
And hold the moon above the sea-wet sand.
The very last of late September dies
In frosty silence and the hills declare
How vast the sky is, looked at from the land.
The three men coming down the winter hill
In brown, with tall poles and a pack of hounds
At heel, through the arrangement of the trees,
Past the five figures at the burning straw,
Returning cold and silent to their town,
Returning to the drifted snow, the rink
Lively with children, to the older men,
The long companions they can never reach,
The blue light, men with ladders, by the church
The sledge and shadow in the twilit street,
Are not aware that in the sandy time
To come, the evil waste of history
Outstretched, they will be seen upon the brow
Of that same hill: when all their company
Will have been irrecoverably lost,
These men, this particular three in brown
Witnessed by birds will keep the scene and say
By their configuration with the trees,
The small bridge, the red houses and the fire,
What place, what time, what morning occasion
Sent them into the wood, a pack of hounds
At heel and the tall poles upon their shoulders,
Thence to return as now we see them and
Ankle-deep in snow down the winter hill
Descend, while three birds watch and the fourth flies.
The clock is frozen in the tower,
The thickening fog with sooty smell
Has blanketed the motor power
Which turns the London streets to hell;
And footsteps with their lonely sound
Intensify the silence round.
I haven't hope. I haven't faith.
I live two lives and sometimes three.
The lives I live make life a death
For those who have to live with me.
Knowing the virtues that I lack,
I pat myself upon the back.
With breastplate of self-righteousness
And shoes of smugness on my feet,
Before the urge in me grows less
I hurry off to make retreat.
For somewhere, somewhere, burns a light
To lead me out into the night.
It glitters icy, thin and plain,
And leads me down to Waterloo-
Into a warm electric train
Which travels sorry Surrey through
And crystal-hung, the clumps of pine
Stand deadly still beside the line.
The last year's leaves are on the beech:
The twigs are black; the cold is dry;
To deeps byond the deepest reach
The Easter bells enlarge the sky.
O ordered metal clatter-clang!
Is yours the song the angels sang?
You fill my heart with joy and grief -
Belief! Belief! And unbelief...
And, though you tell me I shall die,
You say not how or when or why.
Indifferent the finches sing,
Unheeding roll the lorries past:
What misery will this year bring
Now spring is in the air at last?
For, sure as blackthorn bursts to snow,
Cancer in some of us will grow,
The tasteful crematorium door
Shuts out for some the furnace roar;
But church-bells open on the blast
Our loneliness, so long and vast.
Kind o'er the kinderbank leans my Myfanwy,
White o'er the playpen the sheen of her dress,
Fresh from the bathroom and soft in the nursery
Soap scented fingers I long to caress.
Were you a prefect and head of your dormit'ry?
Were you a hockey girl, tennis or gym?
Who was your favourite? Who had a crush on you?
Which were the baths where they taught you to swim?
Smooth down the Avenue glitters the bicycle,
Black-stockinged legs under navy blue serge,
Home and Colonial, Star, International,
Balancing bicycle leant on the verge.
Trace me your wheel-tracks, you fortunate bicycle,
Out of the shopping and into the dark,
Back down the avenue, back to the pottingshed,
Back to the house on the fringe of the park.
Golden the light on the locks of Myfanwy,
Golden the light on the book on her knee,
Finger marked pages of Rackham's Hans Anderson,
Time for the children to come down to tea.
Oh! Fullers angel-cake, Robertson's marmalade,
Liberty lampshade, come shine on us all,
My! what a spread for the friends of Myfanwy,
Some in the alcove and some in the hall.
Then what sardines in half-lighted passages!
Locking of fingers in long hide-and-seek.
You will protect me, my silken Myfanwy,
Ring leader, tom-boy, and chum to the weak.
I made hay while the sun shone.
My work sold.
Now, if the harvest is over
And the world cold,
Give me the bonus of laughter
As I lose hold.
From Bermondsey to Wandsworth
So many churches are,
Some with apsidal chancels,
Some Perpendicular
And schools by E.R. Robson
In the style of Norman Shaw
Where blue-serged adolescence learn'd
To model and to draw.
Oh, in among the houses,
The viaduct below,
Stood the Coffee Essence Factory
Of Robinson and Co.
Burnt and brown and tumbled down
And done with years ago
Where the waters of the Wandle do
Lugubriously flow.
From dust of dead explosions
From scarlet-hearted fires,
All unconcerned this train draws in
And smoothly that retires
And calmly rise on smoky skies
Of intersected wires
The Nonconformist spirelets
And the Church of England spires.
Bells are booming down the bohreens,
White the mist along the grass,
Now the Julias, Maeves and Maureens
Move between the fields to Mass.
Twisted trees of small green apple
Guard the decent whitewashed chapel,
Gilded gates and doorway grained,
Pointed windows richly stained
With many-coloured Munich glass.
See the black-shawled congregations
On the broidered vestment gaze
Murmer past the painted stations
As Thy Sacred Heart displays
Lush Kildare of scented meadows,
Roscommon, thin in ash-tree shadows,
And Westmeath the lake-reflected,
Spreading Leix the hill-protected,
Kneeling all in silver haze?
In yews and woodbine, walls and guelder,
Nettle-deep the faithful rest,
Winding leagues of flowering elder,
Sycamore with ivy dressed,
Ruins in demesnes deserted,
Bog-surrounded bramble-skirted -
Townlands rich or townlands mean as
These, oh, counties of them screen us
In the Kingdom of the West.
Stony seaboard, far and foreign,
Stony hills poured over space,
Stony outcrop of the Burren,
Stones in every fertile place,
Little fields with boulders dotted,
Grey-stone shoulders saffron-spotted,
Stone-walled cabins thatched with reeds,
Where a Stone Age people breeds
The last of Europe's stone age race.
Has it held, the warm June weather?
Draining shallow sea-pools dry,
When we bicycled together
Down the bohreens fuchsia-high.
Till there rose, abrupt and lonely,
A ruined abbey, chancel only,
Lichen-crusted, time-befriended,
Soared the arches, splayed and splendid,
Romanesque against the sky.
There in pinnacled protection,
One extinguished family waits
A Church of Ireland resurrection
By the broken, rusty gates.
Sheepswool, straw and droppings cover,
Graves of spinster, rake and lover,
Whose fantastic mausoleum,
Sings its own seablown Te Deum,
In and out the slipping slates.
The sort of girl I like to see
Smiles down from her great height at me.
She stands in strong, athletic pose
And wrinkles her retrouss? nose.
Is it distaste that makes her frown,
So furious and freckled, down
On an unhealthy worm like me?
Or am I what she likes to see?
I do not know, though much I care,
xxxxxxxx.....would I were
(Forgive me, shade of Rupert Brooke)
An object fit to claim her look.
Oh! would I were her racket press'd
With hard excitement to her breast
And swished into the sunlit air
Arm-high above her tousled hair,
And banged against the bounding ball
"Oh! Plung!" my tauten'd strings would call,
"Oh! Plung! my darling, break my strings
For you I will do brilliant things."
And when the match is over, I
Would flop beside you, hear you sigh;
And then with what supreme caress,
You'd tuck me up into my press.
Fair tigress of the tennis courts,
So short in sleeve and strong in shorts,
Little, alas, to you I mean,
For I am bald and old and green.
When melancholy Autumn comes to Wembley
And electric trains are lighted after tea
The poplars near the stadium are trembly
With their tap and tap and whispering to me,
Like the sound of little breakers
Spreading out along the surf-line
When the estuary's filling
With the sea.
Then Harrow-on-the-Hill's a rocky island
And Harrow churchyard full of sailor's graves
And the constant click and kissing of the trolley buses hissing
Is the level of the Wealdstone turned to waves
And the rumble of the railway
Is the thunder of the rollers
As they gather for the plunging
Into caves
There's a storm cloud to the westward over Kenton,
There's a line of harbour lights at Perivale,
Is it rounding rough Pentire in a flood of sunset fire
The little fleet of trawlers under sail?
Can those boats be only roof tops
As they stream along the skyline
In a race for port and Padstow
With the gale?
How straight it flew, how long it flew,
It clear'd the rutty track
And soaring, disappeared from view
Beyond the bunker's back -
A glorious, sailing, bounding drive
That made me glad I was alive.
And down the fairway, far along
It glowed a lonely white;
I played an iron sure and strong
And clipp'd it out of sight,
And spite of grassy banks between
I knew I'd find it on the green.
And so I did. It lay content
Two paces from the pin;
A steady putt and then it went
Oh, most surely in.
The very turf rejoiced to see
That quite unprecedented three.
Ah! Seaweed smells from sandy caves
And thyme and mist in whiffs,
In-coming tide, Atlantic waves
Slapping the sunny cliffs,
Lark song and sea sounds in the air
And splendour, splendour everywhere.
Miss J.Hunter Dunn, Miss J.Hunter Dunn,
Furnish'd and burnish'd by Aldershot sun,
What strenuous singles we played after tea,
We in the tournament - you against me!
Love-thirty, love-forty, oh! weakness of joy,
The speed of a swallow, the grace of a boy,
With carefullest carelessness, gaily you won,
I am weak from your loveliness, Joan Hunter Dunn
Miss Joan Hunter Dunn, Miss Joan Hunter Dunn,
How mad I am, sad I am, glad that you won,
The warm-handled racket is back in its press,
But my shock-headed victor, she loves me no less.
Her father's euonymus shines as we walk,
And swing past the summer-house, buried in talk,
And cool the verandah that welcomes us in
To the six-o'clock news and a lime-juice and gin.
The scent of the conifers, sound of the bath,
The view from my bedroom of moss-dappled path,
As I struggle with double-end evening tie,
For we dance at the Golf Club, my victor and I.
On the floor of her bedroom lie blazer and shorts,
And the cream-coloured walls are be-trophied with sports,
And westering, questioning settles the sun,
On your low-leaded window, Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.
The Hillman is waiting, the light's in the hall,
The pictures of Egypt are bright on the wall,
My sweet, I am standing beside the oak stair
And there on the landing's the light on your hair.
By roads "not adopted", by woodlanded ways,
She drove to the club in the late summer haze,
Into nine-o'clock Camberley, heavy with bells
And mushroomy, pine-woody, evergreen smells.
Miss Joan Hunter Dunn, Miss Joan Hunter Dunn,
I can hear from the car park the dance has begun,
Oh! Surry twilight! importunate band!
Oh! strongly adorable tennis-girl's hand!
Around us are Rovers and Austins afar,
Above us the intimate roof of the car,
And here on my right is the girl of my choice,
With the tilt of her nose and the chime of her voice.
And the scent of her wrap, and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I'm engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.
Across the wet November night
The church is bright with candlelight
And waiting Evensong.
A single bell with plaintive strokes
Pleads louder than the stirring oaks
The leafless lanes along.
It calls the hoirboys from their tea
And villagers, the two or three,
Damp down the kitchen fire,
Let out the cat, and up the lane
Go paddling through the gentle rain
Of misty Oxfordshire.
How warm the many candles shine
Of Samuel Dowbiggin's design
For this interior neat,
These high box pews of Georgian days
Which screen us from the public gaze
When we make answer meet;
How gracefully their shadow falls
On bold pilasters down the walls
And on the pulpit high.
The chandeliers would twinkle gold
As pre-Tractarian sermons roll'd
Doctrinal, sound and dry.
From that west gallery no doubt
The viol and serpent tooted out
The Tallis tune to Ken,
And firmly at the end of prayers
The clerk below the pulpit stairs
Would thunder out "Amen."
But every wand'ring thought will cease
Before the noble alterpiece
With carven swags array'd,
For there in letters all may read
The Lord's Commandments, Prayer and Creed,
And decently display'd.
On country morningd sharp and clear
The penitent in faith draw near
And kneeling here below
Partake the heavenly banquet spread
Of sacremental Wine and Bread
And Jesus' presence know.
And must that plaintive bell in vain
Plead loud along the dripping lane?
And must the building fall?
Not while we love the church and live
And of our charity will give
Our much, our more, our all.

Hello friends,
I have purchased the DV7-3065dx some months back which is having 2.40 GHz AMD Turion Ultra II Dual-Core Mobile Processor M600 with 4 GB RAM. The video graphics is ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics RS780M. Now the problem that I am facing is about the Blu Ray. When I am trying to play the Blu Ray Disk using the HP MediaSmart DVD, I get a message stating that "Disc is ready for playing. Press play to start playing". When I am pressing the play button nothing is happening. I have tried to update the HP MediaSmart DVD, but then also it is not working. Please tell me some solution about it.

It's been long I have talked about Google Panda and other algorithm updates, and this post is extending our Google Panda algorithm series post. As Matt Cutts confirmed that Panda is now part of Google search algorithm and now it will not be pushed manually <Source>. This will be a major problem for webmasters in future, as it will be hard to diagnose why site traffic is going down. Is it because of Panda penalty, penguin or any other SEO mistakes. Till now we had tools like
This will be a major problem for webmasters in future, as it will be hard to diagnose why site traffic is going down. Is it because of Panda penalty, penguin or any other SEO mistakes. Till now we had tools like
Till now we had tools like Penguintool, AlgoSleuth, which checks your analytic report against known panda updates date, to confirm if you got hit by Panda or not.
Anyways, here is a work-around which you can use to find if your site is penalized (It could be any of the updates). This could be done by using SEM tool call SEMRUSH, which added a new feature call Position changes, which shows for how many keywords you lost the ranking and for how many keywords you gained the ranking.
If you site is losing keyword ranking to a great extent, it means you are penalized by any of the Google algo updates including Panda. This is just a work around, but still a tool worth referring to. You could also take help of their SE traffic tool feature to analyze a website for panda penalty. Check the screenshots:
Now, it's a good time to start focusing on quality of site, as in future it will be hard to understand why your site is penalized, and you will have little room for improvement like in the past. In future, it will be more hit and trial, and not taking exact corrective measures to fix panda penalty. I have already shared how to recover from Google panda, which explains in detail about things you could do to get out of site wide penalty. Here I'm sharing a quick guide, which will help you to fix most common problems, if your site traffic is going down and your site is losing search engine ranking.
Start here to fix Google Panda penalty:
A site SEO audit is necessary if your site is losing traffic and the best way to start is by using Google. Sites which are penalized by panda is mostly because of low quality content issue. Even few low-quality content can hamper your entire site. More over, after all the recent updates, niche sites are ranking way higher than multi-niche sites. So, if you are writing on multiple topics on your blog, I would recommend you to focus on one niche. This will help you to create an authority in a niche, else you will always be outranked by a niche authoritative website.
Here are two things which you should know:
If your site is penalized by Panda, it could be because of many reasons, but two most common reasons could be:
- Your content is poor, low-quality. Which includes you are writing content which are either not up to the mark, you might have copied content from other websites, or your content is not adding value.
- Your Website SEO is not up to the mark, and you are un-knowingly create shallow content from your blog. Ex: Tag pages, category pages or pages with duplicate meta title. This also includes over all SEO structure of your blog (lots of broken links, lots of re-direction), and you have to work on it to fix it.
Fixing content will take time, and if you want to quickly fix major issues, I recommend to work on site wide SEO issues first. A good way to start is by checking what pages from your blog which is indexed in Google. Go to Google search and type site:domain.com and see what all pages Google have indexed from your blog. Go to the last page, and do click on show omitted search results. A quick glance will give you an idea, if there are low quality pages are indexed or not. For every result, ask a question to yourself: "Is this page useful for Google search or for users". If tags and categories pages are indexed, they are useful for content navigation, and improves user experience, but they are not useful for search engines. Check below given screenshot for an example of low-quality pages:
Such links are not useful for search engines (Above screenshot), and many time they create duplicate meta description issue (not in above example). So your first step should be:
- Get rid of all such unwanted indexed pages/part of your blog. Instead of using robots.txt, use noindex meta tag to get rid of such pages or part of your blog.
Find duplicate Meta descriptions and titles:
Once you got rid of unwanted links and pages from web-index, it's time to finding content with duplicate meta title or description. This happens due to many reasons including using a bad SEO plugin, URL parameters and various other factors. You can use Google webmaster tool to find pages with duplicate mete description and meta titles. If you are looking for more extensive solution, Try Ahrefs tool.
Once you fixed these few SEO issues on your site, you are on the right way to fix Google penalty for your website. In short, so far you have fixed your site architecture, and improved the way Google index and crawl your sites.
Improve on content level:
Above fixes will help you to lower down the number of low-quality content from your site, and now you need to work at the content level. This includes improving or getting rid of outdated, low quality, useless content. On page SEO does matter, but avoid spamming your content by any means possible. Write naturally and keep the formatting of your article right.
For example: Don't use too many H2 or too many H3 tags in a post. Use proper headings when necessary. When I was auditing ShoutMeLoud old posts, I realized I have many content which have 1 H1 tag and 5 H3 tags, and most of these content are getting 0 search engine traffic. Article length do impact search engine ranking, and adding rich content like slides, videos further helps in improving the quality of your content.
Integrate known Google SEO ranking factors:
- Improve site loading time
- Less ads above fold.
- Your design should give good user experience.
- Include Google authorship.
- Hide dates from Google search
- Include social signals by integrating your website with Facebook, Google plus, YouTube, Twitter and other web.20 properties.
- Add Social bookmarking buttons to encourage users to share your article. Also promote old posts to improve the social signals.
These are few of many suggestions which I suggest now if your website is penalized by Google Panda algo. There are many more things to do to get completely out of Panda, but above steps will help you to get started. Do remember, by the end of the day it's your blog readership which you need to create a successful website, and that will only happen when you are adding value for your readers. Here are few articles from ShoutMeLoud archive to help you learn further:
- Google Panda WordPress plugins to kick Panda back to jungle
- How to write content after Google Panda that everyone will love
- 5 proven ways for Google Panda optimisation
Do let me know what other factors you think lead to Panda penalty for a website? If you find this article useful, do consider sharing it on Google plus and Facebook.

Murray Ballou Scott
Nov. 29, 1926
Jan. 9, 2013
Jefferson County
New York, USA
HENDERSON — Murray Ballou Scott, 86, of 12205 Mill St., died January 9, 2013, at Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown, where he had been a patient for a day.
Mr. Scott, a lifelong Henderson resident, was a World War II veteran and a partner for decades with his twin, Merrill C., in Scott's Garage in Henderson.
Murray, son of Victor A. and Bessie (Carpenter) Scott, was born November 29, 1926, at his parents' home on Main Street. He was a Boy Scout in his youth. During World War II while he was in high school, he was an Air Raid Warden and a Sky Watcher.
Murray and Merrill were members of the Class of 1945 at Henderson Central School, and they graduated early, in January 1945 so they could enlist in the Army Air Corps. They were aboard ship bound for Europe in May 1945 when the war in Europe ended, and they were sent to southern Germany for peacekeeping duty. They also attended the Nuremburg Trials as military observers. They were honorably discharged in 1946 and returned to Henderson.
Murray and Merrill completed a program in automotive mechanics at H.W. Smith Technical School in Syracuse in 1949. That year, the brothers assisted their father in construction of the "new" Scott's Mobil full-service AAA station and garage on Main Street. It replaced the original business begun in 1936 across the street.
The brothers formed a partnership, M&M Scott, and took over the business upon the death of their father in 1960. The garage was a Henderson landmark and the brothers were an ever-present source of news and assistance – not just automotive – for 44 years until they retired and closed the garage on Halloween night 2004. Counting the years with their father, they worked in the garage for 68 years.
Murray married Adeline (Elioff) of Eastwood, a neighborhood of Syracuse, on May 20, 1950, in Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church, Syracuse. They were married for 62 years, and raised four sons and three daughters.
Survivors include his wife, Adeline; sons Paul M., and his companion, Debra Weaver, Panama City, Fla., Gregory L., and his wife, Dawn, of Henderson, William H., and his wife, Michele, of Baldwinsville, and Robert T., and his wife, Sheryl, of Southwest Ranches, Fla.; daughters Elaine J. Scott, of Henderson, Ann M. Scott-Smith, and her husband, Timothy, of Hillsborough, N.J., and Barbara E. Scott-Brewer, and her husband, Edward, of Levittown, Pa.; his twin brother, Merrill C., a resident at Samaritan-Keep Home in Watertown; 18 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
Murray was a member of the Henderson Volunteer Fire Department from 1940 to 1975, serving as acting fire chief and chief from 1960 to 1975. He was instrumental in the creation of the fire department's annual Children's Christmas Party and its evening recreation program for youth. He also was involved with the accidental start of the free volunteer ambulance service by throwing a cot in the fire department's equipment vehicle. The ambulance service continues today.
Murray, in conjunction with HCS Principal Kenneth Lamb and American Legion Post Officer Harold Secor, began the annual Henderson Memorial Day Parade & Veterans Observance in 1963. Murray was its master of ceremonies for many years. That event will mark its 50th anniversary this year. Murray and Merrill were the veterans of honor at the parade and ceremony in 2009.
He also was a member of the Henderson Alumni Association, the Henderson Historical Society, the Independent Garagemen's Association, the Henderson Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce, and the South Jefferson Chamber of Commerce. He was a 53-year member of Don Rounds American Legion Post in Adams, and a 62-year member of the American Automobile Association. He was a communicant of Queen of Heaven Catholic Church, Henderson.
Calling hours will be Friday January 18th from 4 pm – 7 pm and Saturday, January 19th from 10 – 11 am at the Carpenter-Stoodley Funeral Home, Belleville. The Funeral Mass will be 12 noon Saturday, January 19th at Queen of Heaven Church, Rt 3 Henderson with Rev. Patrick Ratigan officiating. Graveside Service-Spring 2013-St. Cecilia's Cemetery, Robert's Corners, Henderson, NY
Friends are encouraged to write their favorite memories of Murray and submit them to the Henderson Historical Society. Donations may be sent to the Henderson Historical Society, P.O. Box 322, Henderson, N.Y. 13650; the Henderson Fire Department, P.O. Box 3; or Henderson Ambulance, P.O. Box 50.

Philadelphia's Home-Field Disadvantage
For one NFL team, playing at home is actually a disadvantage. The Philadelphia Eagles are the only team to have a better winning percentage on the road (.560) than at home (.541), since 2004. Over that same span, the rest of the league has a combined home regular-season winning percentage of .570 and .421 for away games.
This season, the Eagles have lost both of their home games at Lincoln Financial Field—but have road wins against Washington, New York and Tampa Bay. On Sunday, Philadelphia hosts the Dallas Cowboys (FOX, 1 p.m. ET) with first place in the NFC East on the line.
When it comes to having a home-field edge, Seattle's "12th man" advantage rings true. The Seahawks' home mark (.680) towers over their road record (.387). But that difference only ranks them third. The Baltimore Ravens with a .773 home/.427 road split have the biggest margin, while the Arizona Cardinals rank second with a .581 home/.276 road split.
At the other end of the spectrum, it appears to matter very little if the New Orleans Saints are playing at home in the Superdome or on the road. The Saints win percentage in home games (.573) is nearly the same as their win percentage on the road (.560).

Snype was quickly hit by several jolts of electricity as he expected. He didn't try to avoid it with the use of Detect though. He needed a good jolt of electricity to keep him up. Snype fell down to the ground, his fut all over the place and more scruffy then it usually was. He was flat on his back not changing his expression at all. He let out a snicker. The girl had spunk. Snype was actually growing to have a bit of respect for her style. Snype got up onto his feet slowly and pet hear head, scratching it a bit.
"Kehehe, your just a tough one to handle. We'll get along just fine you and I." He said with a snicker.

How did I get in with it? Good question, because printed on the face of the ticket was "no cameras, video, or recording equipment of any kind". But I had purchased a VIP package through Madonna's fan club. It included parking, food, booze, etc., which is not the point. What is the point is that they sent me an email with all of the information regarding the show, including the camera policy. The camera policy for the show was the camera policy for the venue - Joe Louis Arena. Their policy is that cameras with detachable lenses are allowed as long as the lens is 54mm and under. Sweet! There was no problem getting it in.

10. The Weekend Just Lacked Any Positive Narratives
You know in sports when some miracle happens and they use that tacky cliche "you couldn't even script this or write this…"? Well, I do hate that cliche because people can write about aliens, unicorns, and flying cars so putting together a compelling sports narrative with a shocking finish does't seem that far fetched. This weekend of Formula Drift was the opposite of all that hype and lacked any real positive narratives.
The rain made drifting so slow and robbed us of smoke that we would of been just as entertained watching drivers draw straws to get a win. The home grown hero who cut his teeth at Orlando Speed World known as Pat Goodin couldn't even qualify due to some car troubles giving this weekend the final nail in a miserable coffin.
9. Pro 2 Has Promise for 2015
Even with the bad weather conditions and a track that seemed hell bent on preventing good tandem drifting I saw that the Pro 2 ranks were far more entertaining than last season. I won't make a bold proclamation about the Pro 2 season until I see them run at Seattle, but I do really like the builds and some drivers that have come out of the wood work for Pro 2 in 2015. The whole operation seems far more professional and relevant than its first season which I enjoy and shows potential for Pro 2 in the future.
8. Yokoi and his Car Are Growing into Formula Drift
Yokoi and his S15 Silvia look like night and day compared from his driving in Long Beach to Orlando. If it wasn't for the wild fire coming out of his fuel system (more on that down at #4) in a battle versus Ryan Tuerck I think he could of won that battle and possibly became the event winner. Before going out in the Great 8 he managed to beat #1 in points Odi Bakchis in a Road Atlanta rematch. He also made pretty easy work of potential champion Fredric Aasbo in Top 32.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Charde Houston scored 20 points and Connecticut beat the Houston Jaguars 71-65 Tuesday night in the Huskies' exhibition opener.
Houston, a sophomore forward, has struggled with a foot injury during the preseason, and UConn coach Geno Auriemma planned to use her for 15 to 20 minutes. She made the most of her 22 minutes.
"I wanted to go out there and make things happen,'' Houston said. "It's not about me. It's about the team and we have a lot to work on.''
The Jaguars, a traveling team of post-collegiate players, led by six points three times in the opening 10 minutes. Then, the Huskies' Houston took charge, scoring 16 points in the final 8:58 of the period on 6-for-7 shooting as Connecticut seized control with a 30-8 run.
She finished off the half by getting the ball at midcourt with 5.4 seconds left and driving in for a layup at the buzzer for a 40-24 lead.
"I thought Charde looked really good, considering she has been limited in practice,'' said Auriemma, whose team committed 29 turnovers. "There are things that Charde does on the floor that are impossible to describe and that are impossible for most teams to match up with.''
Barbara Turner added 12 points and 11 rebounds for Connecticut.
Georgia routs Augusta State
ATHENS, Ga. -- The Lady Bulldogs opened Tuesday's exhibition game with Augusta State with a 28-0 run on their way to a 105-43 victory. Sophomore Tasha Humphrey, last season's SEC freshman of the year, picked up where she left off with 27 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots in just 22 minutes of work.
Sophomore Megan Darrah added 19 points, followed senior Desiré Bostice with 14, senior Sherill Baker with 12 and freshman Danielle Taylor with 11. Bostice was perfect from the floor as she went 6-for-6.
After its 28-0 start, Georgia pushed its lead to a 47-17 edge at halftime, thanks in large part to its defense. In the first 20 minutes, the Lady Bulldogs rolled up nine steals and forced the Lady Jaguars into 20 turnovers. For the game, Georgia posted 19 steals (seven by Baker) and forced Augusta State into 38 turnovers.
"I liked our energy level. We didn't always make plays or stop them when we could have, but that wasn't because of a lack of energy and effort," coach Andy Landers said " I liked the way we shot the ball when we put the ball in people's hands when they were in position to shoot.
"The downside is the way we rebounded the basketball. There has to be more intent and effort."
During the first half, the Lady Bulldogs lost freshman Angel Robinson to a sprained left knee. She will undergo further testing on Wednesday.
Irish win opener
NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Senior All-America guard Megan Duffy scored a team-high 18 points to pace four Notre Dame players in double figures as the Irish tipped off their 2005-06 season with an 84-59 exhibition victory over Division II Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Duffy connected on 7-of-13 shots from the floor, including 4-for-8 from 3-point range, and added a game-high seven assists with just one turnover. Sophomore center Melissa D'Amico looked strong as well, collecting 16 points (7 of 12 from field) and seven rebounds. Freshman guard Lindsay Schrader got the starting nod in her first outing and responded with 13 points (6 of 13 from field) and matching D'Amico's game-high seven rebounds. Senior forward Courtney LaVere rounded out the double-figure scoring quartet with 10 points (5-for-9).
Notre Dame shot 53 percent from the floor (35-of-66) and owned a 40-29 edge on the boards. The Irish also had 25 assists and only 14 turnovers on the evening, with sophomore guard Tulyah Gaines nearly equalling Duffy's performance with six assists and one turnover.
"We have a lot of things we need to work on," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. "Our defense and rebounding weren't that good tonight and that's something we'll address in practice. Offensively, we had some moments where we looked all right, but their zone caught us off guard a little since they hadn't played it at all last year and this was their first game this season."

Things are starting to heat up around the SEC now…read on for our ballot in this week's Power Poll (and be sure to also check out the overall results over at Garnet & Black Attack):
1. (4) Alabama (defeated Georgia, 41-30)
2. (2) LSU (defeated Mississippi St, 34-24)
The unvanquished. Don't let the semi-close score fool you…Bama administered a serious beatdown on the Dawgs. In that 31-0 (!) first half they made Georgia look, well, Razorbackesque. Meanwhile, LSU isn't exactly rolling but they keep getting the job done. The matchup between these teams on 11/8 should be something to see.
3. (3) Georgia (lost to Alabama, 30-41)
4. (1) Florida (lost to Mississippi, 30-31)
It's really not the SEC East's year, is it? In another stroke of luck adding to the Hogs' perfect storm of a season, the real conference power is located out west this year.
5. (6) Auburn (defeated Tennessee, 14-12)
6. (5) Vanderbilt (idle)
You know it's a weird year when the Auburn-Vandy game has major conference-wide implications. Here we are in October and Vanderbilt controls their own destiny in the SEC East. And although Auburn's offense has looked fairly primitive (at best) this year, we have a feeling their game against the Hogs next week will cure that.
7. (9) Mississippi (defeated Florida, 31-30)
You know what? We're not even going to be haters in the slightest bit today…that really was an impressive win.
8. (8) Tennessee (lost to Auburn, 12-14)
9. (7) South Carolina (defeated Alabama-Birmingham, 26-13)
10. (10) Kentucky (defeated Western Kentucky, 41-3)
11. (12) Mississippi State (lost to LSU, 24-34)
*Yawn* These are all mediocre teams who are a lot better than the Hogs. Frankly, this order probably isn't the least bit correct, but we're not losing a lot of sleep over it..
12. (11) Arkansas (lost to Texas, 10-52)
And here we sit. Might as well make ourselves comfortable…we're going to be down here for awhile.

School Gets New $4 Million Home
To Patricia Lanza, the key to reaching at-risk youth is finding the activity or approach that unlocks each child's potential.
To help children from foster care and the juvenile justice system find activities that are meaningful to them, the widow of Frank Lanza, co-founder of defense contractor L-3 Communications, donated $4 million to the Children's Village, a 150-year-old school that serves nearly 7,000 at-risk, foster care and runaway youth and families a year, to build a new activities center.
The new center, built on the Village's Dobbs Ferry campus, will serve as a central hub for student life and replaces a dilapidated building from the 1950s.
The facility, which opened this month, includes a fitness center, swimming pool, atrium, café, and a commercial kitchen to hold the charity's food services training program. It also includes a barbershop, which serves as a work site for young people training to be apprentice barbers.
"Everything we do at Children's Village is based on the notion that every minute is a teachable moment," says Jeremy C. Kohomban, the charity's president and CEO. "We do whatever we can to introduce our boys to meaningful activities so they choose to do something important with their time rather than stay on the street."
Nearly half of the children the Village serves come from the juvenile justice system, with the other half coming from foster care. More than 500 children attend its residential school and nearly 85% of its graduates stay in high school, while nearly 40% attain a part-time job, Mr. Kohomban says.
"We follow the kids for a year after they leave us because we're determined to measure what we do and track outcomes," he says.
Ms. Lanza, 77 years old, says she's been impressed by Village's success. She began volunteering with the organization more than a dozen years ago after her own three boys were adults, mentoring a teenager until he was 22. As a master gardener, a program in which gardeners are provided with horticulture training and in return volunteer their skills, she gardened at the Village until she broke her hip last year.
"With these boys, you have to just keep going," she says. "Children's Village is very effective and every once in awhile one of these kids become a real success."
When her husband passed away in 2006, "he left me with everything to do," Ms. Lanza says. "The philanthropy part of it, though, I love."
Ms. Lanza helped launch the XPosure Foundation, which introduces children in low-income communities to science, technology and finance. She has also supported the town of Greenburgh, N.Y.'s office of philanthropy and intergovernmental relations, the Westchester Fund for Inner City Schools and New England Dream Center, a social services and performing arts charity.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn University plans to replace the oak trees at Toomer's Corner if they die.
University spokesman Mike Clardy says President Jay Gogue has accepted a committee's recommendation to move at least one large tree to the site where Auburn fans have long celebrated victories.
Those celebrations have included rolling the two oaks with toilet paper.
Clardy said Wednesday the tree's survival prospects will be clearer in the spring if they have any new leaf growth. He says "they have continued to go downhill."
The trees were allegedly poisoned by Alabama fan Harvey Updyke after a win over the Crimson Tide in the 2009 season.
The 63-year-old Updyke has pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of felony criminal mischief and other charges and is scheduled for a March trial.

Bachelor's-Master's Program
This five-year program allows students to earn both a master of science in human resources and an undergraduate degree with a major or a minor in human resources. Students begin graduate work the summer immediately following the senior undergraduate year by taking two graduate level courses. The remaining course work is completed in the student's fifth year.
Students may take two graduate HURE courses (six credits) in the senior undergraduate year. Pending the grade of B or better, these graduate courses double-count toward the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Should a student be denied admission to the M.S.H.R. program or receive a passing grade less than B, the courses will still be counted toward the undergraduate degree. Upon completion of the first term as a master's candidate, the student must petition the appropriate Graduate School of Management program director to transfer the courses taken as an undergraduate to the master's degree. If a student takes advantage of this option there are a total of 24 credit hours to complete upon entering the M.S.H.R. program - two courses during summer session following completion of the bachelor degree and six courses during the school year. Students taking 3 courses per semester have enough time to hold a part-time HR position concurrently.
To be considered for admission, applicants must formally apply to the Graduate School of Management during the senior year at Marquette University, complete all of the application requirements as listed above, and indicate on the application that they are applying for the five-year program. For information, contact the director of the M.S.H.R. program at firstname.lastname@example.com.
