Fresh off a headlining, nearly three-hour set at the 2013 Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Paul McCartney celebrated his 71st birthday on June 18.
As one of the principal songwriters in the Beatles, McCartney helped the band rack up more than four dozen Top 40 US singles, while his prolific solo output – more than 20 studio albums since the Fab Four parted ways – has netted Macca more than 50 Top 10 singles. Given that, McCartney stands among the most successful pop-music composers ever and one of the greatest hitmakers – trailing behind Elvis Presley. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has major exhibits devoted to both Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
His songs often celebrate the mundane pleasures of everyday life. As a songwriter who delights in the quotidian, as opposed to edgier rock and rollers steeped in mystique and risk-taking, McCartney has rarely been a favorite of rock critics. However, his body of work – some of it admittedly lightweight, much of it unjustly dismissed – has given boundless pleasure to the music loving public. Having been the primary melodist within the Beatles, it is not surprising that McCartney's knack for an ear-catching pop tune remains very much in evidence.
In 1999, Neil Young inducted McCartney into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he shared memories of hearing the Beatles for the first time, and the first song he ever sang, "Money (That's What I Want)."
"He's just a great songwriter, one of the greatest songwriters perhaps ever," said Young. "I think he'll be remembered hundreds of years from now for the work that he did."
McCartney accepted the award to great applause, remembering his widow and musical partner Linda, and inviting his daughter Stella to join him on stage. "I love rock and roll because it made my life," said McCartney. "I love Cleveland because Cleveland gave me Linda's Mom, Linda's Mom was from Cleveland. And I love New York, because New York gave me Linda."
Later in the evening, McCartney was joined onstage by Bono of U2, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Bonnie Raitt, Robbie Robertson, Bruce Springsteen and more to perform "Let It Be." Watch Paul McCartney perform live at his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction in the clip below:

It was a weekend of sing-alongs, raves, rappers and rockers. More than 80,000 music fans made a pilgrimage to Manchester, Tennessee for the 13th annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. A diverse lineup boasted EDM artists like Zedd and Skrillex next to classic soulsters like Lionel Richie and Bobby Womack, proving that music festivals allow acts to perform for both new and old audiences. Here are five of the top music moments (in no particular order) from the 2014 Bonnarro Music & Arts Festival.
1. Elder statesmen of Rock Meet the New School: Skrillex & Friends SuperJam
Sonny Moore AKA Skrillex pulled out all the stops for his SuperJam. A few of the highlights included Janelle Monea taking the stage to perform Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and the 1965 James Brown classic "I Feel Good," and later Cage the Elephant's Matt Shultz fronting the Doors' "Break On Through (To The Otherside)" alongside the iconic group's guitarist and songwriter Robby Krieger.
2. Jack White Covers Zeppelin, Electrifying Stage with Mix of New and Old
Just four days after the release of White's second solo studio album Lazaretto, the Nashville resident gave the immense crowd a two-and-a-half hour long performance. During the 26-song set, White performed songs from across his vast catalogue, opening with The White Stripes' "Icky Thump," and later taking on covers of Led Zeppelin ("The Lemon Song") and Dick Dale and his Del-Tones ("Misirlou"), and sprinkled in new songs and favorites from his days in The White Stripes and The Raconteurs.
3. Lionel Richie Lives up to the Headliner Hype
A name that came with top billing, Lionel Richie lived up to the buzz that stirred the farm. The former lead singer for the Commodores acknowledged and poked fun at his age saying: "Some of you were here from the beginning. The other group, they say these words, 'My mama, my daddy, my brother, my sister played your records.'" During his What Stage performance, Richie nailed the classics like "All Around the World," "Easy," "Say You, Say Me," "Brick House," "Hello" and "All Night Long (All Night)" before encoring with "We Are The World."
4. Elton John Honors Legend and Packs 50 Years of Songwriting into Epic Set
Tens of thousands of the festival's attendees stuck around for its closer, 1994 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Elton John. The Rocketman gave those who stuck it out for the entire raucous weekend a rousing set, taking on many of the favorites from his five-decade career, including "Bennie and the Jets," "Candle in the Wind," "Tiny Dancer" and "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." "Your Song" and "Crocodile Rock" came as encores.
Earlier in the day, most of the nation heard that radio icon Casey Kasem had passed away. During Sir Elton's 21-song set, a touching moment came when he dedicated "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" to the American Top 40 host.
Watch Ben Folds join Elton John for "Grey Seal."
5. High-energy High-impact Rock by way of France via Phoenix
French group Phoenix delivered one of the most memorable, energy packed sets of the festival. Opening with "Entertainment," Thomas Mars and crew roared through 75-minutes of material, with most of it coming from their last two studio albums, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and Bankrupt!. Their set was as visually exhilarating as it was audibly.

Disease Proof
Americans have poorer health and shorter lives than peers
A report from the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council revealed bleak statistics on the comparative health of the citizens of the United States compared to sixteen other high-income countries.
The report revealed that Americans have been dying earlier, on average, than almost all other countries. Of the sixteen countries ranked, American males ranked last in life expectancy and American females ranked sixteenth out of seventeen. The report notes that this trend has been ongoing and progressively worsening since 1980; Americans are dying prematurely with poorer health during their lives. The report states:
"The tragedy is not that the United States is losing a contest with other countries but that Americans are dying and suffering from illness and injury at rates that are demonstrably unnecessary."
The report identified nine key areas in which Americans demonstrate poorer health status; a few of note are the direct results of poor nutrition and lifestyle habits: obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Out of the 17 countries, the U.S. was ranked 2nd in the number of ischemic heart disease deaths and 3rd in diabetes deaths. Americans consume more calories per person than any other country in the world, and our eating habits are killing us. Obesity was a significant contributor to the shortened life expectancy observed in Americans; obesity accounted for 42 percent of the reduction in life expectancy American females and 67 percent of the reduction in males.
It is well known that the U.S. spends more money on health care per person than any other nation.
The report noted that Americans have greater "control" over blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and still have the next-to-highest death rate from ischemic heart disease. We take more medication for heart disease risk factors, and yet are more likely to die from heart disease. We spend the greatest amount of money, and die the earliest. More medical care does not buy better health.
It's time for our country to wake up. Our health, happiness, and economic stability are suffering at the hands of our dietary choices.
There were several additional non-nutritional factors that contributed to the relatively short life expectancy of Americans, including infant mortality rate, injuries and homicides, drug-related deaths, HIV and AIDS. In addition to disease-causing eating habits, behavioral factors such as drug abuse, lack of seat belt use, drunk driving and gun violence are contributing to the poor health and shorter lifespan of Americans. The report also cited deficits in our health care system, higher levels of poverty and income inequality than other countries, and geographical environments built around cars, which discourage physical activity.
Clearly, there are some issues not under our individual personal control that must be tackled by public policy. However, this report also highlights those factors that we as individuals can address – today – to increase our own likelihood for a long and healthy life: our weight and our risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Excess weight, heart disease, and diabetes are inevitable consequences of the standard American diet plus inactivity, but they are not truly inevitable. We can prevent these conditions by making wiser food choices and prioritizing physical activity. Each of us must take responsibility for our own health and longevity. A high-nutrient diet based on protective plant foods is an excellent place to start.
Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. U.S. Health in International Perspective: Shorter Lives, Poorer Health. January 9, 2013. http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2013/US-Health-in-International-Perspective-Shorter-Lives-Poorer-Health.aspx
I think, at least among educated people, the message is starting to get through. Maybe it's just their advancing age and waistlines, but I've had friends who pooh poohed healthy eating in the past start to make steps toward it recently.
Am I surprised? Absolutely not. But hey, most folks "don't need others to tell them how to eat", right?
What's it gonna take to get people to realize that the foods the put in their mouth is one of the most important decisions they make every single day??
Thanks for fighting the good fight, Dr. Joel.

Management of pediatric patients with fever has been a continuous challenge to both
parents and medical providers. Fever in children is a common symptom to a
number of cases (ranging from mild to serious conditions of bacterial or viral
infections) and certain disorders.
Thus, effective recording of body temperature is a necessity to be undertaken by providers to check if the fever can be properly managed at home or needs immediate medical attention.
With the advancement of technology, digital infrared thermometers have been widely used and preferred at home and in the clinical setting as an important tool to provide accurate readings of body temperature for the management of child-patient care.
These digital thermometers use infrared rays or heat sensors to record body temperatures of children via the mouth, ear, armpit, or rectum within seconds.
Rectal digital infrared thermometers are generally preferred for infants (5 months or younger) and children (6 months to 5 years old), since they are reliable and consistent in giving off the most accurate results of the child's body temperature.
The only disadvantage of rectal taking is the discomfort that most children experience
when the thermometer is placed in the anus. The proper way of taking the rectal
temperature is to place the child stomach down on the provider's lap and use a
petroleum jelly on the tip of the thermometer before sliding the thermometer
gently to the opening of the anus. If the rectal temperature reading is above
100.4° F (38° C), the child has a fever.
Oral (mouth), tympanic (ear), and axillary (armpit) thermometers are preferred for
older children (5 years old and above). For oral readings, the child must not
be taking a cold or hot drink or eating in the last 30 minutes before taking
the temperature. The thermometer should also be placed under one side of the
mouth and have the child hold the thermometer with his lips and fingers
properly. The mouth must be closed to provide an accurate reading. If the oral
temperature is above 100° F (37.8° C), the child has a fever.
Tympanic digital thermometers are quick in measuring body temperatures (takes less than 2 seconds) and causes no discomfort to children. The proper position of taking
the temperature is to pull the ear back and up to straighten the auditory canal. The child has a fever if the tympanic temperature is 100.4 F° (38.0° C) or higher.
Axillary thermometers provide less accurate readings and are slower in taking body
temperatures. The armpit must be dry when taking the temperature and the probe
must be covered when the armpit is closed for 4 to 5 minutes or until the digital infrared thermometer beeps. If the armpit temperature is above 99.0° F (37.2° C), the child has a fever.
In the management of fever in children, readings that yield high temperatures are
alarming. First-aid interventions must be done at home when fever has been
identified in the first few minutes.
Constant checking of the vital status of the child is also important. Refer the child to a doctor when the: (a) child exhibits an elevation of temperature from the normal temperature values; (b) fever has been for more than a day; (c) fever has accompanying symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea; (d) fever triggers a seizure; (e) child shows signs of
dehydration (dry mouth, crying without tears, sunken soft spot); (f) child has
a rash; and (g) provider thinks the child needs medical attention.
Amazon.com is a great source for comparing infrared thermometers.

Cravings: Chayote
Published Aug 5, 2008 - (Updated Dec 5, 2012)
Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Summer/Fall 2008 issue.
Chayote, a staple of the traditional Mexican diet, is a member of the squash family. It has a thin, coarsely wrinkled skin fused to white flesh, with a texture that could be described as a cross between a cucumber and a potato. It can be eaten raw in salads or used in a variety of traditional recipes, including soups and stews.
Chayotes con Crema is one of the more popular dishes, made by boiling whole chayote for about 30 minutes, or until tender when pocked with a fork. Cool it, then cut it into cubes and mix with crema, or sour cream, for a delicious side dish.

Health care, like others, can't avoid job losses
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 2:24 p.m.
Health care seemed to be one industry that mostly avoided the layoffs that plagued so many other sectors of the economy during the Great Recession. But now even that field is beginning to see job reductions, although the justification administrators offer has as much to do with coming healthcare reforms as the economy. So in some regards the news Wednesday that Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center would cut 950 positions, including 475 that current employees hold, wasn't a surprise, even if the overall number did raise eyebrows.
Lexington Medical Center, which falls under the Wake Forest Baptist Health umbrella, didn't escape without reductions. The hospital will see 4.5 positions eliminated during the next year; LMC employees about 750 people. This comes after 52 other positions were cut due to back office consolidation after the merger four years ago with WFBH, attrition and retirement. One way to look at the latest job losses here is that it amounts to less than 1 percent of the workforce. But that still means at least five people (since you can't have half a person) will lose their jobs.
Health care involves many people performing tasks that contribute to the overall function of the organization. Patients may primarily be exposed to front-line caregivers, such as doctors and nurses. But many other people also play a role in a person's visit, whether it's a brief trip to the emergency department or an extended stay. LMC President Steve Snelgrove said the reductions here won't affect patient care or the hospital's 1 to 6 ratio of nurses to patients.
Mergers often bring job reductions, as some functions previously performed locally move to a larger corporate office. Davidson County residents have seen this occur many times as local entities lose their identity and become part of a larger organization. But these mergers can also bring new opportunities previously unavailable locally, and that's certainly been the case with Wake Forest Baptist Health. Many services that used to require a trip to a larger medical center or specialized practice in a bigger city can now be found in Lexington.
Plenty of informed people disagree on what will ultimately happen with reform of the health care system. Efforts to provide affordable care for more people certainly need to happen. Some of the by-products of that push may not be ideal and could cause some grumbling. Wake Forest Baptist Health said its reductions were the result of a three-year study with a goal of positioning the system to be successful far into the future. Time will tell whether Wednesday's announced cutbacks help allow that to happen. But no one wants to see a competent person lose their job, so the human cost of the reductions can't be dismissed.

In response to an inquiry regarding the present condition of the Kehukee Association, I shall try to be as clear as possible.
My description must begin with my first recollections of the ministers and the practices of the Kehukee Association.
In response to an inquiry regarding the condition of the Kehukee Primitive Baptist Association in the latter years of the Twentieth Century, I will try to be as accurate in my recollections as possible. My characterization must begin with my first recollections of the ministers and the practices of the Kehukee Primitive Baptist Association, the oldest Baptist Association in North Carolina.
Contentious doctrinal turmoil regarding the doctrine of absolute predestination pervaded the Primitive Baptist order at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Elder Sylvester Hassell, an eminent Elder, educator, historian and author, of the Kehukee Association, maintained a good relationship during this strife with Elders of his day. He is credited with restraining the passions of the people. After the death of Elder Hassell in 1928, no one of his stature remained to continue his policy of moderation. The churches of the association experienced turbulent times, but did not divide. Some churches held to the *absolute predestination viewpoint and some to the *conditionalist viewpoint. This situation in the midst of the churches set family against family, and church against church. Church memberships began declining. This destructive condition abated with time, but animosities continued for years. The Kehukee Association settled into the absolute predestination doctrinal position.
I did not know Elder Sylvester Hassell, but I knew individuals who were acquainted with him. I was told that Hassell was a vegetarian, and abstained from all meats. He used a parasol to shield his fair complexion from direct sunlight, and always wore a coat and neckwear. He was remembered by some as aloof and arrogant. Elder Hassell was ridiculed by some of his contemporaries for not being "strong in the faith." Hassell maintained better relations with Elders of other sections of the country than he did in his own locale. Editors of religious periodicals of the day and Elder Hassell remained friendly until his death. Jealousy abounded within the ranks of the Kehukee Association; this characteristic hastened the decline of the once august body. Ministerial jealousy was prevalent when I came on the scene, and obvious until the association finally reduced itself to irrelevance. I recall a question asked of me by an elderly brother. The brother knew I was knowledgeable of Hassell's History of the Church of God. He asked, "Do you think Hassell was strong in the faith?" I thought the question was strange. I quickly realized what the brother meant by his expression 'in the faith'. What the question implied was, "Do you think Hassell was strong in absolute predestination?" The dogma of the absolute predestination of all things was the yardstick by which a person's faith was measured. If a person did not strongly advocate predestination, they were not considered "strong in the faith."
Primitive Baptist history clearly proves that the advocates of absolute predestination have declined and border on extinction. If Elder Hassell had survived to prepare someone to follow in his steps, our Primitive Baptist history may have been different.
I was called upon to conduct the funeral of Elder Hassell's last surviving son, Calvin. The cremains of Calvin Hassell are interred at the base of the monument at the grave of his wife. Elder Hassell's granddaughter and his great grandchildren were in attendance. Elder Hassell's great grandchildren were not aware of his religious literary accomplishments.
It is a sad commentary on Primitive Baptist history that succeeding generations have no knowledge of their past. Decades of neglect have yielded irreparable damage.
Elder Hassell speaks for himself in his articles rejecting the doctrine of absolute predestination.
My reflective journey begins with the manner in which I acted out my childhood impressions of Primitive Baptist Elders, while I lived at Oxford Orphanage in Oxford, N.C.
Farmland, pastures and woodlands gave the orphanage campus a backdrop of rural tranquility. Two creeks snaked their way through the fields and woods. Muddy water of a narrow creek gurgled slowly around the small rocks and smooth stones in the middle of the stream. Early warm weather pressed new growth from the reeds along the edge of the flow. The budding trees in the forest provided a silent background for the meandering brook. I jumped from the weed-filled creek bank onto the largest stone. Babbling, gentle sounds of flowing water broke the silence of the springtime afternoon. Orphanage boys were allowed to roam the fields and woods Saturday afternoons. Alone, I pretended I was a preacher. Perched atop an imposing stone, I looked around for curious eyes. Certain there were no onlookers, I imagined my congregation. Where were my listeners? They were in my young mind only.
My imagination reflected the indelible images of my younger years in the home of a great-aunt and uncle. Abandoned by my mother and neglected by my father at age six (1936), Aunt Ada and Uncle Fernanda White took me into their home. Devoted Primitive Baptists, they treated me as their own. Saturday and Sunday I was always with them--at church and in homes of other Primitive Baptists. Uncle Nanda, as I affectionately knew him, was a deacon at Flat Swamp Church, a church of the Kehukee Association. He always sat on the front bench and allowed me to lie on the
bench with my head on his leg. Sometimes I would sleep; sometimes I would day dream and sometimes I would listen.
My mother remarried, removed me from this secure environment in Robersonville, into less-than-desirable circumstances in Hamilton. Following the failure of her second marriage in 1939 I lived with my grandfather and grandmother in Oak City. My grandfather died in 1940. I was placed in the Masonic Orphanage, at Oxford, North Carolina in 1941. I remained at the orphanage until I graduated in 1949.
Primitive Baptist recollections often filled my senses in the carefree times of my orphanage life. Frequently I remembered Primitive Baptist ministers and their practices from my childhood.
Standing on the stone, I pretended to preach. I mimicked what I had seen and heard, when I accompanied Aunt Ada and Uncle Nanda among the churches of the Kehukee Association. Impressions of young minds often last a lifetime.
The twenty third Psalms was familiar to all orphanage students. We were taught to memorize Bible verses. In a staccato or auctioneering style voice, I would recite each verse. Raising my tone with each verse, and add an "Ah, yes," at intervals. Lowering the sound of my voice, I would stoop and imitate what I recalled seeing and hearing ministers do in my early years.
These images of the ministers of the 1930s, who were on the scene after the passing of Elder Sylvester Hassell were indelibly etched in my young mind.
Elder J. C. Moore, son of Elder A. J. Moore was chosen Moderator of the association in 1929, after the death of Hassell. A. J. Moore was a classmate and close friend of Elder Hassell. Elder J. C. Moore's influence was limited as he did not survive long after the death of Elder Hassell.
Elder A. B. Denson, a stout man of limited education was stricken with a form of palsy. His head constantly shook side to side. Elder Denson farmed and sold monuments. He lived in the City of Rocky Mount, N. C. Denson was on the scene at the death of Elder Hassell and participated in the funeral of Hassell. Elder Denson's staccato delivery was accentuated by constant jerks of his head. Ministers of the day were prone to emphasize extraordinary spiritual experiences to illustrate a born again condition. Elder Denson followed Moore as Moderator of the association. Denson died in 1952.
Elder A. B. Ayers of Martin County, served as moderator after the death of Elder Denson. Elder Ayers farmed. He did not exhibit the extreme chanting characteristics of his contemporaries. His educational experience was limited. Ayers was well respected in his community. He took his own life in his latter years, after learning he had a terminal illness.
Elder R. B. Denson, son of A. B. Denson, an enterprising man of limited education, operated a general store and farmed. The younger Denson visited farms in the Rocky Mount, N. C. area on Mondays, bought live chickens and sold the poultry to merchants in the vicinity. What he could not sell locally, he transported in crates as far as Philadelphia. He truck-farmed when vegetables were in season. Elder R. B. Denson died in 1959.
Elder Joe Fly was large-framed, but nonassertive in his nature. He also, was limited in any formal learning. Elder Fly sold Watkins Products from the trunk of his automobile. He used a chanting preaching style.
Elder B. S. Cowan of Bear Grass, in Martin County, was a gentle man and a gentleman. Elder Cowan was afflicted with a large goiter on his neck. Cowan farmed and was quite educated. He was a calm and deliberate speaker. He yielded to the massive growth on his neck and his gravelly speech seemed directed in one direction.
Elder W. E. Grimes, a slender man, with an easygoing but intolerant attitude followed Elder Ayers as moderator of the association. Elder Grimes was a farmer by occupation. A temperate speaking technique was used by Elder Grimes. My mother's brother married one of the daughters of Elder Grimes.
Elder E. C. Stephenson was an unkempt and unlearned man. He too, farmed and chanted to an extreme. It was not unusual to see him with snuff juice dribbling from his mouth. Stephenson's shirt, buttoned at the top and minus a tie, often was stained with brown drippings. Elder Stephenson was labeled Snuffy.
It was not uncommon for men to use snuff or tobacco inside the meeting house while services were in progress. Cuspidors were strategically placed. Low profile sandboxes, supporting iron wood stoves served as cuspidors, also.
Etched in my memory are the prosperous days of the Kehukee Association. Every autumn the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad junction at Parmele was crowded with incoming visitors to the association. The church at Flat Swamp was nearby. It was not unusual for autos to meet the trains, and transport the visitors to private homes. The rail line continued to Robersonville and Williamston, passing through the main geographical area of the association. Fondly I recall the crowded homes, filled dining tables, sleeping in barn lofts, playing with other children and sleeping at the foot of beds.
As an adult, I came on the Primitive Baptist scene again in 1967, in an unusual manner. I received a letter from an aunt, inviting my wife and me to attend a Skewarkey Union meeting at the Robersonville Primitive Baptist Church. An Everett family reunion was planned together with the Union meeting. My aunt informed me that relatives whom I had not seen since I left for the orphanage would be present. My wife and I decided to attend.
Arriving at the church we heard the singing as we drew closer to the building. The windows were open and the slow singing from the Lloyd hymnal brought back memories of my childhood with Uncle Nanda and Aunt Ada. Only the personalities had changed. It was from this nostalgic location that I began a search for the roots of the faith of my forefathers. I united with Falls of Tar River Primitive Baptist Church, Rocky Mount, N. C. in 1968, and was ordained to the Primitive Baptist ministry in 1969. Life's painful lessons often teach: Old roots reject new grafts.
At the time the Kehukee Association was intact, though it was gradually declining. Its fellowship extended to most of the Predestinarian associations in N.C., VA and MD. At the time there were the Contentnea, Black Creek, White Oak and Little River Associations in eastern North Carolina.
In 1969, there was a popular and respected preacher in the White Oak Association, whose wife divorced him. He married again, to a woman who had never married. That created a mean spirited controversy in the White Oak Association and it split and became two sides of the White Oak. That meant that the other associations had to choose which side of the White Oak they would fellowship. When the choosing of sides was over, that meant that each association, which split over the issue had two sides. All being of the absolute predestination persuasion, but still two sides.
The Kehukee Association recognized one side of the White Oak, but did not split, and the other associations recognized their favorite sides. The two sides of the other associations, that split continued to decline, as did the Kehukee.
Circa 1979, Elder David Spangler, the editor of the Signs of the Times, an absolute predestination publication, was advanced in years. He made his intentions known that he intended to appoint an editor to succeed him. Two natural brothers, Elder Donald Smith and Elder Wallis Smith, were associated with Spangler in the publication. One brother, served as circulation manager and presumed he would be named to replace Spangler as editor of the Signs of the Times, a Primitive publication.
Elder Spangler did not make the choice immediately, and the circulation manager became impatient and began to criticize some of Spangler's writings. There was some sentiment at the time that it was time for Spangler to step down as editor. There also was a sentiment that Elder Spangler should remain as editor of the Signs of the Times. The brothers charged that Spangler was departing from the absolute predestination position. The two brothers began to visit with influential Elders to garner support for their position. Supporters of Elder Spangler made the rounds seeking backing for their position, also.
Churches served by Elder Spangler withdrew from the north central N.C. association to which they belonged. Elder Spangler appointed another Elder as editor of The Signs. The appointment apparently did not please the two brothers. The brothers also served churches within the association from which the churches Spangler served had removed themselves. Shortly afterwards the churches served by the two brothers left the association. This disturbance created dissension within the association located in north central N.C.
When three associations of southern Virginia met in 1981, they did not recognize the troubled North Carolina association. This put the Kehukee in the position of having to choose which faction to recognize. This situation also meant recognizing associations according to where the associations stood in their choice of sides. The two brothers visited extensively in all the associations of N.C. and Virginia, seeking support for their personal positions.
Churches in the Kehukee Association were prone to follow the influence of their pastors and deacons. Deacons regularly exerted biased and undue influence over the churches. The Kehukee Association pastors were visited by the two brothers regularly. The brothers visited churches and associations in Virginia, also. Similarly the supporters of the newly-appointed editor of the Signs sought support. Factional choices in this matter fell like dominoes into associations in Virginia and N.C.
The two brothers finished their support-seeking rounds before the association meeting and had the support of the pastors and churches they had concentrated on. The Kehukee Association was the next to the last association in this area to meet in October of 1981. Two weeks before the association was scheduled to convene at Williams Primitive Baptist Church in Edgecombe County, the host church, decided they could not provide for the meeting. The association power-brokers at the time, decided at the last minute to use the original Kehukee meeting house. The Kehukee Church had been abandoned earlier and removed from the rolls of the association. A quick effort prepared the old building for use; all of the churches prepared for the provisions to host the association.
The association was opened in the usual manner. The same moderator was chosen and all the traditional things attended to. The moderator called for the visiting brethren to be seated with the association in the customary manner. A female member of the Norfolk Church, rose and presented this motion: I move to seat all Contentnea and all associated with Elder A. P. Mewborn and Elder W. W. Stallings, Black Creek, Upper Country Line, Seven Mile and all independent churches. The motion was seconded by another female member of the same church as the one who made the motion. I knew them both well. I was once pastor of the Norfolk Church in Norfolk, Virginia.
When the discussions began, few understood what was being considered. The voting tally will attest to that reality. Many messengers confessed their ignorance of the difficulties under consideration. Some messengers refused to vote; their refusal to vote were considered abstentions.
I was given the floor and stated that we should not take sides in a dispute that involved a religious periodical. It was the consensus of some of the members, and also my opinion, to recognize all, or recognize none, for the time being. I spoke further, until Elder Henry Jones, an illiterate elder of the Contentnea Association called out, "Shut up and sit down!" This overt disorderly and rude act was overlooked by the moderator.
Also, assembled at the association were brethren from the southern Virginia associations which had refused to recognize the N.C. association that was in a state of discontent.
A vote was called for on the motion, and I rose and called for a roll call vote. The final tally was: Eight yeses, six noes, and eight abstentions. Those who abstained did not understand the issues and they openly stated their ignorance of the matter. With this misunderstanding the vote was allowed to proceed. This action, of course, was an offense to the messengers of the associations who were not recognized.
The association continued with its usual practices for the two-day period. The atmosphere was cold, but the association was completed. No one spoke of the contentious conference. Several weeks later the Skewarkey Union Meeting convened at Bear Grass Church in Martin County, N.C. The female clerk of the host church stood and invited into the pulpit only those ministers whose churches had voted yes on the motion at the previous associational meeting. Effectively that excluded the churches that had voted no . The members and ministers of the churches which had voted no left the church house and removed to the Skewarkey church house, five mile distant and held services. At the time, I was pastor of the Skewarkey Church in Williamston. In the process of time, the group excluded at the Union Meeting banded together and called themselves the Eastern Kehukee Association. The others labeled themselves the Original Kehukee Association.
Almost immediately after this divisive incident, a few of the dissenting churches declared themselves independent of any association. The Falls of Tar River Church was one of the first to declare its independence. Assemblies in the Contentnea and Black Creek Associations also became independent bodies.
Time progressed and I came to the realization that we needed to be associated with a viable group of Primitive Baptists on a nationwide basis. Elder D. B. Stokes and I were sharing a radio broadcast at the time, and Elder John Tidwell called about the program. It was then that I approached Elder Tidwell about establishing a dialogue to determine if some common ground could be found for reconciliation. Elder Tidwell was sympathetic to beginning such an endeavor. I asked Elder Stokes and Elder Randall Saunders if I could speak for them in this dialogue, provided I kept them informed of the progress. They agreed.
Elder Stokes, at the time, served four churches in N.C., one in Pennsylvania., and Black Rock Church in Maryland. Elder Saunders was pastor of Healthy Plains Church in N.C. Because of health conditions I had previously resigned the care of Norfolk, Muddy Creek, Skewarkey and Scott's Churches.
Elder Tidwell and I became close, and we soon overcame any differences we perceived existed. Elder Devon Harris, pastor of Angier Church was very encouraging. Deacon Gerald Lawrence of Angier Church and I spent many hours conversing about our differences. In the end, we realized there were really no differences that could not be reconciled. Thus began the healing of the schism which took place following the death of Elder Sylvester Hassell in 1928. Nearly a century of intolerance and lost opportunity was bridged.
I was invited to speak at Angier Church. Elder Harris and Elder Tidwell were invited to Healthy Plains Church. Both congregations began visitations. It was during this time that I was invited by Elder Daniel Hall of Georgia to fill preaching appointments in that area. Elder Hall and I were acquainted, as he at one time lived in my vicinity.
While in Georgia I sought counsel from Elder Elzie Speir, Sr. In the course of our talks Elder Speir advised, "Son, you'll make more headway by dealing church to church, than trying to go the association route." Elder Speir's advice was wise and correct.
In 1981, there were 22 churches represented in the Kehukee with 260 members. Today the two groups may have less than 30 members. There are only seven churches remaining in the two sides. The group calling themselves the Original Kehukee Association is now void of ministers.
The churches that withdrew from associations and became independent have stabilized. These independent churches, at the beginning of the Twenty First Century, are showing signs of life. Today there is a healthy relationship between those churches that once were a part of the eastern N.C. associations and the Old Line (nonabsolute churches) nationwide.
At the beginning of the Twenty First Century, there remains two sides in the Kehukee Association, two in the Contentnea, two in the Black Creek and two in the Little River. The White Oak has vanished.
The two natural brothers involved in this dispute are presently estranged. This dispute extended into Canada, and two Canadian brothers were religiously divided as a result of the Signs of the Times controversy. Perhaps there is someone who can corroborate or refute my recollections. History judges the present and the future by the past.
To what should we attribute the Kehukee Association's decline and ignominious end? We would be negligent and dishonest to speak of an unlearned clergy without supporting the assertion with specific examples. I shall refer to only one. A minister of the Kehukee Association used this text more than once in my hearing. Isaiah 6:1 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple." The Elder used the comparison of a railroad train leaving a station on earth and ending up in the heavenly temple. He used the illustration of free tickets on this train, as free grace and emphasized the importance of getting aboard the train.
The practice of giving no prior thought or study to what a minister would speak on was based on Matt 10:19: "But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak." Many times I have watched an elder clean his glasses, blow his nose and with feigned humility begin his discourse. "Brethren, if the preacher don't come, then there won't be no preaching here today. I don't know what I'm going to preach on. The Lord will have to give me what he has purposed to give me." The Elder would make excuses, use Matt. 10:19 and ramble until he worked himself into a chanting and raving frenzy. This common practice, in my opinion, is an example of an unlearned clergy. Education was scorned as showy and a sign of little trust that the Spirit would provide. Chanting, often was viewed as evidence of the presence of the Spirit. Baptism was discouraged by insisting that only a supernatural event lead one to the Church.
Constant preaching of predestination, with no mention of human responsibility was commonplace. "What is to be, will be," was the hallmark of sermons of the day. I recall being told by a female member: "Don't tell me about my duty, I don't want to hear it."
To say that the leaders of the association were wedded to their remembered customs would be an understatement. It was fruitless to point out, from that body of historical evidence Hassell's History, what the association was then doing was of recent origin. The association regularly usurped the authority of the local churches. The leaders were intolerant of any customs not of their personal recollections. Scriptural counsel and recorded history was not tolerated or considered.
Neglect of the meeting houses was an obvious example of indifference and contributed to the decline of the association. Members' homes were modernized with conveniences while their meeting houses remained neglected. Disrespect of a worship service by lighting of cigarettes and use of chewing tobacco, following a service was commonplace. I recall chiding a brother for not waiting until he was outside to smoke and his response was, "What does it matter? It's just another building."
Have we respected the time of other people? Have we been excessive in our use of time? An incident is with me today, of the time I was invited to dinner at a home where a death had occurred. A minister of the Kehukee Association was asked to return thanks, and he consumed 35 minutes in the effort. The practice of protracted prayers and sermons was typical, and generally resented.
The use of a common communion cup was uniformly practiced. The unused wine from the common cup was poured back into the original container and reused another time.
It would not be totally objective to attribute the decline of the Kehukee Association to any one condition. Even the time in which the association flourished is responsible. The geographical region of the association was then, and remains predominantly agriculture oriented. A recent newspaper article about election of N.C. lawmakers stated: "With each census, the number of seats held by rural lawmakers declines, while the number of seats in the fast-growing metropolitan areas grows." The youth of the eastern section of N.C. left to seek opportunities in the urban portions of the state. Agriculture and the supporting population is constantly declining.
Gal 5:15 --But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. KJV
It should be noted that Primitive Baptists have unjustly borne the reproach of being labeled anti-missionary. Historical documents relating to the Baptist division of 1832 clearly indicate it was mission societies and their possible unscriptural influence on individual churches which were objectionable. It was not missionaries, nor their freedom to exercise Biblical evangelism.
Hassell's History lists 41 active churches in the Kehukee Association in 1885; only four remain with less than 20 members in 2007. Is this a model to be imitated?
*Predestination is the belief that all events, human actions and natural happenings are directly and absolutely decreed by God. Divine blessings in this scheme are apportioned as determined beforehand, and not conditioned on actions or deeds.
*Conditionalism is the belief that some events, human actions and happenings are conditioned on the actions of the creature. Divine spiritual blessings in this system are conditioned on the obedience of the creature.
The Primitive or Old School Baptists cling to the doctrines and practices held by Baptist Churches throughout America at the close of the Revolutionary War. This site is dedicated to providing access to our rich heritage, with both historic and contemporary writings.

Off-duty officer in custody after standoff near Mayfaire ends
Published: Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at 2:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at 2:08 p.m.
WILMINGTON | A police standoff that started Tuesday morning at an apartment building near the Mayfaire Town Center ended peacefully late Tuesday with an off-duty police offer taken into custody, a Wilmington Police Department spokeswoman said.
The male officer, who police did not identify, was transported to New Hanover Regional Medical Center for evaluation, according to a news release from WPD spokeswoman Linda Rawley.
Officers responded to an 11:30 a.m. call at the apartment complex where a man had barricaded himself in his apartment and was threatening to commit suicide, Rawley said in a 10 p.m. news release.
"For the past 10 hours police negotiators, officers and EMS have been on the scene working to resolve the matter peaceably," Rawley said. "Police say there is no immediate threat to the public."
Earlier in the day Rawley characterized the standoff as a "critical incident."
Police at times were not allowing people to enter the parking lot of the Reserve at Mayfaire apartment complex on Parkview Circle. As the evening progressed, officers with riot shields and shotguns were seen near apartment building 1446.
Tyler Cralle, who lives at the apartments, said when he returned home about 12:15 p.m. Tuesday, he was prevented by officers from parking in the lot. Once he parked on the street and got into his apartment he could see officers outside one of the buildings.

We had been reading about Ram's Gate winery in Sonoma when it first opened back in September 2011, and were very excited and curious to see the designs from award-winning architect, Howard Backen. The inspiration for Ram's Gate was "a modern interpretation of the weathered farmsteads of old Carneros." And after a lovely trip out to wine country (instead of being glued to the TV for SuperBowl Sunday – we think wine tasting is almost, always better) we saw the final product and it is indeed sensational.
One of the private tasting rooms at Ram's Gate Winery
After walking around the premise for a bit (and enjoying the unusually warm weather in February!) we treated ourselves to a flight tasting of a few of Ram's Gate wines. We tried their Pinot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Late Harvest Zinfandel. Tastes from the kitchen included a perfectly crafted carrot cake with baby farm carrots on the side. Not an ideal pairing with wine but we had a craving for something sweet.
Main room, Bar & Kitchen at Ram's Gate Winery
Every room was beautifully and meticulously designed. Plush, inviting seating at every turn, dark colors with cool fabrics. We envisioned how wonderful this place would be for a number of parties, occasions and celebrations. The location (nestled on 147 acres of land we were told by one employee) is one of the closest winery locations to San Francisco, just 30 minutes North. Perhaps one day we will throw a lavish party here, but until then, we will definitely be coming back to enjoy the scenery at Ram's Gate Winery.

These were a fun find during a layover at the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport in Texas. My plane was slightly delayed so I had some time to walk around the terminal and peruse the different shops and foods they had to offer. The candy stores had an impressive amount of stuff, and even though there were a few things that I haven't had before, I settled on these Texas Armadillo Droppings. Why? Well, I didn't know when I'd be back in the area for one, and these looked like something I probably wouldn't find again. Plus, the armadillo is so cute!
So what are armadillo droppings? Well, in candy terminology they're really "dark pralines". They're a candy made up of butter, milk, sugar and pecans. Very simple and easy to make, and very, very tasty.
The box opens to reveal a bunch of these droppings, all individually wrapped in plastic and ready to be eaten alone or shared with with friends.
The color of the pralines is a rich, a deep rusty caramel color. You can see the bits of pecans dotting it throughout. The aroma is mild, smells of sweet butter.
The texture is very smooth and creamy, not sticky at all! The flavor is extremely buttery and sweet, with lovely burnt sugar notes and wonderful nutty flavors from the pecans. The pecans are fresh and meaty and deliver an amazing flavor. It's this great combo of sweet buttery and rich and meaty from the pecans. Wow, just wow. In fact, I can tell these very fresh and it's lovely.
So if you're ever in Texas, I'd recommend you pick up some of these Armadillo Droppings. Funny name, cute armadillo and great taste.

ZF-12442: libxml_disable_entity_loader() call in ZF 1.12
Hi, I have updated from ZF 1.11 to ZF 1.12 and found that I can`t use my SOAP calls. In Zend/Soap/Server.php on line 732 is method libxml_disable_entity_loader() called, but this method is available from PHP >= 5.2.11. I am running on
PHP 5.2.0-8+etch16 (cli)
and actually can not update until some issues are fixed or reimplemented. In install requirements instructions for ZF 1.12 you write that you need minimum PHP 5.2.4 or later (http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/…) so that is also my fault we run on 5.2.0 but this method libxml_disable_entity_loader() is only available from PHP 5.2.11. (http://php.net/manual/en/…) So do you think about providing some patch for this (that would be just awesome) or will you update the requirements install instructions for ZF 1.12 for this issue and change the minimal version from 5.2.4 as you write to 5.2.11?
Zend recommends the most current release of PHP for critical security and performance enhancements, and currently supports PHP 5.2.11 or later.
Thank you very much for your time&effort!
As this is the result of a security fix, we have updated the minimum version of PHp for ZF 1.12 to be 5.2.11
Hi, thank you for new info. In ZF v. 1.12. documentation is still written PHP 5.2.4 Thanks for your time.
Where are you looking? The change so far has been made in the source code.
Hi, here, to reference manual http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/… Karel
Okay. That should automatically change when we release 1.12.1.

City's Cable, Video and Telecommunications Commission Recommends Third Party Operator (TPO) to City Council
Posted on 11/01/2013 10:36 am
Wilmington's Cable, Video and Telecommunications (CVT) Commission voted yesterday (Thursday) afternoon to recommend to City Council that the Leased Access Preservation Association be approved as the third party operator (TPO) of a leased access/public access television station. The station will serve the Wilmington community with live leased access, leased access and public access programming beginning in April of 2014.
Under the terms of the City's franchise agreement with Comcast, the TPO will operate a self-sustaining public access/leased access (PALA) cable channel and studio facility to provide news and information to the community of Wilmington and provides access services to the greater Wilmington area. The TPO will now negotiate a contract with the City and another contract with Comcast governing the operation of the television station.
The TPO recommendation as well as a management contract between the City and the Leased Access Preservation Association will be considered by City Council in early December. The City's contract with the TPO will be reviewed in late November by the CVT Commission and then forwarded to the City Council for action.
Comcast will relinquish its long-time role as the operator of the TV 28 leased access station next April as part of a new 12-year franchise agreement with the City that was signed last November.
The CVT Commission, comprised of representatives of the Williams Administration and City Council as well as the City Solicitor and City Auditor, reviewed and assessed three TPO proposals submitted in August in response to a City Request for Proposals (RFP) issued in June. Last week, Commission members met with the three entities—Wilmington LIVE!, Community Cable Network (CCN) and Leased Access Preservation Association (LAPA)—on three successive days to seek information about each groups management plans for the television station.

Organizing a progressive dinner is a terrific way to entertain, involve more people in the planning and a great way to meet new people.
Hors d'oeuvre of a coconut chicken on sugar cane skewers
When we plan this type of dinner, we suggest the organizers hold it in no more than three different homes. Everyone gathers for hors d'oeuvres and fun beverages at the first home, moves on for the main course at the second and ends with dessert at the last home. We find that three locations keeps travel time to a minimum.
Ponzu beef with wisabi potato salad
A progressive dinner does take more time, so allow for a three-to-four hour evening. When we plan a progressive dinner, we also like to select a theme to give continuity to the evening.
The challenge of getting people to move on to the next location can be remedied by offering a prize to the first couple at each location.

|Shin sets career wins record
MOSCOW - There's a new school record holder for career singles victories in men's tennis, and it's senior Alan Shin.
With 84 career singles wins, Shin passed Jim Gerson and Steve Davis for the top spot on the all-time list. Davis first set the record of 81 singles wins in 1977, and Gerson matched it in 1981, and it stood for over 30 years before Shin broke it Feb. 3.
"This is a great accomplishment for Alan with all the great tennis players that have played at Idaho and also considering he did not play at Idaho the fall of his freshman year," Idaho men's tennis coach Jeff Beaman said.
Aiding Shin along the way were a couple of the best individual seasons in program history. Shin won 29 singles matches in 2009-10, the sixth highest total in Idaho history, before upping that mark to 30 in 2010-11, placing fifth on the single-season wins list.
Shin is 9-8 this season, and his record-setting win at Gonzaga helped propel Idaho to a 4-3 match victory. Shin continues to add to his newly acquired record, as he has won his last two singles matches, beating opponents from Nebraska and Creighton.
"His win against GU to set the record was huge for the team and since then he has kept on rolling," Beaman said. "I am looking for him to keep adding to the total as he closes out his senior year."
The Vandals continue play next weekend in Lewiston when they face LCSC and Eastern Washington on March 3.

Let's set aside those defamation allegations and the whole pen name scandal for a bit. Yes, West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder has had quite a year, with plenty of stresses and successes. Still, the top of his agenda is seeing business in West Valley City take off like a rocket.
Before a January city council meeting, press gathered at City Hall as the mayor took the podium to announce steps to support new development projects by attracting more business to the city than ever before.
Winder wants to speed up the city's business development by holding sessions to work one-on-one with entrepreneurs, providing more demographic info like trends and consumer reports to local businesses and accepting business plans digitally. City Manager Wayne Pyle is calling on the staffs of all city departments to tip off the economic development staff when they come across a business searching for a new location.
"The economy is still fragile, and encouraging job creation continues as one of our highest priorities," Winder said during his address. "But for companies to thrive and jobs to locate here, we must create an atmosphere that is pro-growth and business-friendly." The plans Winder layed out in the speech will go into effect this year.
"This doesn't mean that all business plans get approved," he says. "But whether it's our building division or planning division—they're geared up so as plans come in they have a fast track to run through them."
ChamberWest President and CEO Alan Anderson says the plan Winder announced will attract more businesses, because it means less headaches. "To get a license, businesses already have to go through a fire inspection, a health inspection, a police inspection—so expediting the approval process helps businesses come online faster," Anderson says.
Development will make way for a rise in property values, Winder speculates. But if the sting of economic development hits resident pocketbooks, Winder wants to hear about it. The young mayor has established regular "Milk with the Mayor" gatherings for residents to air concerns in person. "It's the first Wednesday of every month," he says. Milk for the meetings are provided by—who else?—his family's West Valley farm, Winder Dairy.
But the milk might not be showing up much longer. Winder plans to run for Salt Lake County mayor, but assures West Valley that developments will continue if he leaves.
Valley Fair Mall renovations started in 2007 after Costco moved in and will be completed this year. If the development has seemed a little hurry-up-and-wait, Winder says it's because building plans don't get done as fast as they did when the market was at full speed. The city's two biggest projects are the mall and the multi-use development Fairbourne Station.
A Mayor by Any Other Name
In 2011, Mayor Mike Winder didn't like the press his city was getting in the local media. It was all too negative. When he complained, he was told he could find a volunteer writer to submit more positive stories. When his search didn't pan out, he took matters into his own hands and wrote four stories for the Deseret News under the name "Richard Burwash." After revealing his identity, Winder made an apology to the West Valley City Council and city staff, resigned from the Summit Group public relations agency and wrote an apology in the December 2011 issue of West Valley Journal.
Early this year, former UTOPIA fiber-optics company executive Chris Hogan filed defamation charges against Winder, alleging an article falsely accuses him of extortion. Winder says he plans to fight the lawsuit.

ZF-8947: Zend DB Select Limit Not Executing Properly
If you specify a DB table then use select statement with an order and limit clause, the output for the limit range is wrong.
$nUserId = 123; $select = $this->_table->select(); $select->where('user_id = ?', $nUserId) ->order('createddate DESC') ->limit(0, 200);
print $select;
myRecords.* FROM
myRecords WHERE (user_id = '123')
createddate DESC LIMIT 2147483647 OFFSET 2
The limit is supposed to be 0 not 2147483647
Regards, Cliburn M. Solano
I just ran into this bug too, in my quick test, order does not seem to matter. It seems to be related to building a query off of Zend_Db_Table though. I am using zf 1.11.11.
It also only occurs if the first argument is 0. Set the argument to 1 and it behaves as expected.
Maybe i should reread the documentation first. The argument order is opposite of what is expected in mysql. This is not a bug.

The Outdoor Retailer show comes to SLC twice a year, bringing hordes of GoreTex-clad hawkers to pump up the downtown economy. The Salt Palace literally overflows into nearby parking lots and streets where vendors set up regiments of cool new tents, bicycles, packs and outdoor-oriented fashion.
Up to a certain point, the show is all about technology and how it's enhancing and making safer our outdoor experiences. But part of it is as much about look as function: "Tobacco and saffron are key this year!"
And as much about point-of-view as look:
OR isn't just about goods; it's about a culture.
Of course, as usual, I'm interested in a particular part of that culture: the food. And there were plenty of new flavors of Clif bars and other pocket meals on display.
But alongside all the super-lightweight food-for-function junk were some old-time heavyweights for those of us who can't imagine camping without a decent frying pan.
Lodge cast iron cookware has been around since 1866 years, making indestructible skillets and Dutch ovens for those who eat seriously in the outdoors.
Or indoors. My mother bought me a Lodge iron skillet when I went to college nearly 40 years ago. Part of the Essential Equipment for Leaving Home, along with a copy of Strunk & White andplenty of sox.
I used that skillet for everything from toasting marijuana to heating up spaghetti sauce to cooking cracked wheat, depending on which stage my evolving alternative lifestyle was in. I still have it.
For a long time I kept a second one on the floor of the back seat of my car.
You know, in case of emergency. As a kid, family camping in Colorado, my mother handed my brother an iron skillet when a bear was sniffing around our garbage cans. To bang on and to wield if necessary, I suppose.
Anyway, Lodge was going strong in the Salt Palace yesterday, besides their Le Creuset-like enamel-coated line, there's a new pre-seasoned carbon steel line
and a group of small, personal-sized frying pans and bakers that have become chef favorites, as you know, they hold their heat.

Porter Scores Twice as Men's Soccer Tops Yale, 3-2
Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (11/16/13) - Junior Cameron Porter scored twice to lead the Princeton men's soccer team to a 3-2 win over Yale in the regular-season finale on Saturday, Nov. 16 on Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium.
Porter's two goals makes him the Ivy League leading scorer this season with nine total tallies.
Junior Andrew Mills assisted on all three Princeton goals, a career high.
It wasn't the start to senior day that the Tigers were expecting as Yale jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of the game. Princeton made some adjustments and then starting playing with the vim and vigor it had displayed all season, scoring three goals in the come-from-behind victory.
Cameron Kirdzik set up both Yale goals. He sent a cross into the box to Peter Jacobson for the header in the 2nd minute and played a long ball to Scott Armbrust in transition in the 10th minute.
Princeton got one back before the close of the first period as Porter scored his first of two in the 33rd minute. Freshman Brian Costa intercepted a pass and sent it to the top of the circle to Mills. Mills chipped the ball up to Porter on the right side and he turned and beating his two defenders and launched the ball into the far corner.
Sophomore Brendan McSherry notched his second goal of the year three minutes into the second half to knot the game at 2-2. The ball deflected off a Yale played to Mills. He settled the ball and pushed it ahead to McSherry who fired into the left corner for the equalizer.
The game winner came in the 63rd minute. Mills played the ball in the air and served it from the midfield to the top of box. Porter beat goalkeeper Blake Brown in a foot race and headed in the game-winning goal.
Princeton oushot Yale 12-9 thanks to a 9-3 differential in the second half. The Tigers had a 5-3 edge in corner kicks and pushed Yale into four offsides calls while not receiving an offsides call themselves.
Senior Seth MacMillan made two saves in his sixth win of the season.
Princeton concludes its season 7-9-1 overall and 4-2-1 in the Ivy League. Yale finishes 4-11-2 overall and 2-3-2 in the league.

ZF-5963: Cookie with "invalid" expiration timestamp interpreted as expired cookie
When a cookie object is created using the Zend_Http_Cookie::fromString($cookieStr, $refUri) function, and $cookieStr contains an expiration timestamp that is invalid according to strtotime(), Zend_Http_Cookie will treat the cookie as expired. A better behavior would be to never expire the cookie, as strtotime() can reject certain dates that are too far in the future.
As an example, I had a web server that identified itself as Microsoft-IIS/6.0 return a cookie with an expiration timestamp of "Fri, 01-Mar-2109 00:19:21 GMT", which Zend_Http_Cookie treated as expired.
I am attaching a patch that fixes this issue.
Are you sure this still happens? There was a patch added a while back to use Zend_Date if strtotime fails. This should have worked around this problem. If this still happens, let me know what PHP version you are running, on what system (32 bit or 64 bit) and what ZF version of course.
Yes, the changes from r14376 and r14530 seem to have fixed this problem. I'm closing this issue. Thanks!

This weekend, Nighttown in Cleveland Heights hosts J.D. Souther for a special two-night engagement, as the much-lauded musician performs at 8:30 pm on Friday, December 9 and Saturday, December 10.
Although born in Detroit on November 2, 1945, J.D. Souther spent his formative years in Amarillo, Texas. That upbringing likely contributed to the development of a country-rock appreciation that made him a major influence on big ticket bands of the 1970s, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee the Eagles (he collaborated with friend and former Longbranch Pennywhistle bandmate Glen Frey on tracks including "Best of My Love" and "Heartache Tonight") and Linda Ronstadt (producing and performing on 1973's Don't Cry Now, and penning "Prisoner in Disguise" and "Faithless Love"). As a session musician, vocalist and guitarist Souther has appeared on recordings by Don Henley and James Taylor, among others.
At the urging of then head of Asylum Records, David Geffen, Souther joined Chris Hillman (of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers) and Richie Furay (of Buffalo Springfield and Poco) to form a country-rock supergroup of sorts with the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. The group released a pair of solo albums and charted with "Fallin' In Love" before disbanding in 1975. Through the years, Souther has recorded solo albums that highlight his smooth spin on the country-rock genre, including 1972's John David Souther, 1976's Black Rose, 1979's You're Only Lonely and 1984's Home by Dawn. The title track ballad of his 1979 release reached Number Seven on the Billboard pop charts. Souther returned in 2008 with the jazzy If the World Was You and this year's A Natural History, which includes stripped down versions of some of the songwriter's most notable songs, including those he wrote for the Eagles and Ronstadt, and the best of his solo material. The intimate material will resonate perfectly amid the cozy Nighttown environs.
