Fourth of July Freedom (17 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
The Fourth of July is one of my family's most favorite holidays. Not only is it a special day for us because it's our daughter Grace's birthday, but because I've been a proud military wife for the past fifteen years. It's also a day we reflect on our nation's freedom and the men and women who have given us this precious gift thru their dedication and hard work and it's dedicated to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice insuring ours.
For me, nothing says Americana better than mixing red, white, and blue with a bit of rustic. It's as American as apple pie, white picket fences and picnics in the park.
Freedom 4th of JulyI found a great spot under the shade of an old oak tree to setup my dessert table. Patriotic Mason Jars by Meghann from Always The Occasion filled with white hydrangea really defined this summertime feel, along with "Old Glory," a weathered wooden pallet and wicker.
For dessert, I decorated Vanilla Bean cupcakes with patriotic custom liners and flags (available in my shop).
Strawberries and blueberries displayed in printable paper cups provided a refreshing treat, and matched perfectly.
Goblets of red, white and blue jello paired with mini wooden spoons and patriotic ribbon.
Beautifully decorated cookies by the talented Katherine of Creating Awesomenessity helped complete the look for our table.
I setup a beverage station with decorated water bottles and burlap and twine wrapped root beer bottles.
Loved these copper pails for chilling, and the red, white and blue paper straws provided the perfect accent.
One of my favorite props was this rustic, wooden sign which I decorated with a pinwheel banner made by Shauna of Cupcake With Character spelling, "FREEDOM," metal stars and the inscription "land of the free because of the brave – since 1776." Another salute to our brave men and women, past and present.
I hope you enjoy this upcoming Fourth of July holiday with your family and friends. What a great time of year to create your own special memories while enjoying great food, family games and the long-awaited cascade of spectacular fireworks under the evening stars.
I couldn't have pulled this all together without the help of a few talented ladies:

Allergy Eye drops or Eye Drops for Allergy - Types & How to Use
Allergy Eye Drops for Red and Dry Eyes
Lubricant eye drops wash off the allergic substances from the surface of the eye and are used for dry eyes. Vasoconstrictor drugs reduce redness in the eyes.
Lubricant eye drops
These are also called artificial tears and are used for the treatment of dry eyes. They include brands like GenTeal, Systane, Refresh, Optive and Thera Tears. They help in eye allergies by washing off the allergens and substances released in the eye during allergy. Some brands are available as viscous solutions that remain on the eye for longer periods. These however may result in side effects such as temporary blurring and irritation of the eyes. Some brands have preservative free formulations. These are preferred for patients who use eye drops often especially more than 6 times a day.
Vasoconstrictor eye drops
Vasoconstrictor drugs include phenylephrine, oxymetazoline and naphazoline. These drugs constrict the superficial blood vessels on the eye and reduce redness and symptoms of ocular allergy. They do not treat the allergy and are often used in combination with anithistamines. They cause burning of the eyes and could increase eye redness once they are stopped; hence they should be used for short periods only. They may dilate the pupil (the opening in the iris through which the light enters the eye) and cause blurring of vision. They should not be used for patients suffering from narrow angle glaucoma.

Dewey Redman: Thren
Dewey Redman (tenor sax)
The Struggle Continues (ECM B0009934-02)
Dewey Redman (tenor sax), Charles Eubanks (piano), Mark Helias (bass), Ed Blackwell (drums),
Charles Eubanks (piano), Mark Helias (basses), Ed Blackwell (drums).
Recorded: January, 1982
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
I fell in love with Dewey Redman's big, open sound after hearing his work on Pat Metheny's 80/81. Going back in musical time, I then discovered the Ornette connection. This track, from the recent first-time-on-CD release of The Struggle Continues, finds Redman wielding that expressive sound while being supported beautifully by the uber-swinging bass of Mark Helias and the always nuanced drumming of Ed Blackwell. Redman's history is very apparent here, with the sideways departures of melody and that bluesy sound echoing all the way back to his Ornette years.

Fisrt of all, here are links to a couple of maps from the National Weather Service office's of surrounding regions of snowfall from the most recent event om March 2, 2010. GSP hasn't produced their map yet.

In addition, the GSP Office released a fascinating report about the harsh winter of 1960 where it snowed several times in March in the Upstate of South Carolina. It can be accessed at the following link (.pdf file requires Acrobat Reader to open).
By the way, remember it also snowed on March 1-2 last year. the GSP area has had snow before in April (and once or twice in early May), but the next week or so at least looks snowless. There is a big storm on the models around March 17 or so, but that is pretty late for us. Could this be the year for a late season surprise?

Our goal is to prevent further damage, help manage your condition and, when possible, improve your heart's function.
While heart failure is a chronic, lifelong disease, taking the right medications can help you live longer and enhance your quality of life. Your doctor will likely prescribe a combination of medications tailored to your specific diagnosis.
Treatment options will depend on a number of factors including the cause and severity of your condition and your overall health. Your diagnosis and treatment may include one or more of the following:
- Angioplasty (balloon pump)
- Stent implantation
- Pacemakers
- Loop recorders
- Transesophageal echocardiograms
- Cardioversions
When required, surgical procedures are provided at nearby Banner Boswell Medical Center.
Healthy lifestyle
Heart-failure patients can help take charge of their health through better lifestyle choices, such as lowering salt intake, staying active and quitting smoking. The cardiac rehabilitation team combines education on modifying risk factors with a medically supervised fitness program.

I had never heard of the Columbian Country Club until given this assignment, despite being Jewish and having resided in Dallas since 2002. But my life experience suggests that the passing of an exclusively Jewish country club, while deplorable in and of itself, is not a cause for worry as far as the Jewish community of Dallas is concerned. Rather, it may be a long-awaited sign that the relationship between Jews and non-Jews in the city has finally become normal.
|CULTURE CLUB: The Jewish Community Center of Dallas, with about 7,000 members, engages the young and old alike. (See below.)
photography by Billy Surface
Under these circumstances, the Jews of St. Petersburg, as well as of any other Russian city, could socialize only in private. That meant having a party in somebody's tiny apartment and knocking back a few shots of vodka. One of the hot-button issues in any Jewish company was whether Israel or the United States was a better destination. Facing hostility on all sides, Jews had little choice but to stick and huddle together, or to leave for good.
This is precisely what gave me a pause when my early fascination with Israel's Jewishness began to wear off. Although Jews make up almost 80 percent of the country's population (excluding occupied territories), there are also sizable minority groups, Arabs being by far the largest of them. It is, of course, natural that Arabs and other non-Jews are never seen in synagogues or yeshivas, but what about country clubs? If these people are excluded or reluctant to join (in most cases, it is both) because of bad blood between them and the Jews, and given that Israel is surrounded by predominantly Arab countries, perhaps (to use Yogi Berra's words) it is déjà vu all over again. Jews still have no choice but to stick, and huddle, together.
That much became especially clear to me when, after seven years in Israel, my family and I moved to Southern California. Even in the area where we lived, relatively far removed from heavily Jewish neighborhoods and having a Jewish population of only a few thousand, we discovered (right after Disneyland and Death Valley) flourishing Jewish life. The choice of synagogues and Jewish religious, educational, and political organizations rivaled that available in Israel, to say nothing of Russia. In fact, it was even broader, because Reform and Conservative congregations, so common everywhere in the United States and certainly in California, are very few and far between in Israel. But in one important respect, the new environment was a real departure from all our previous experience: exclusively Jewish social clubs were nowhere to be found. In fact, I had an opportunity (if I'd had the money) to join any club of my choice. With no one trying to exclude me as a Jew, I had little reason to stick and huddle with other Jews outside a synagogue or an organization with a specifically Jewish agenda.
The experiences that I have briefly described bear directly on the significance of the Columbian's demise. When the club was founded, in the late 19th century, the situation of Dallas Jews bore greater similarity to what I lived through in Russia and in Israel than to what I encountered in Southern California. In relative terms, the community was not much smaller than it is today: the 1900–1901 American Jewish Yearbook lists just under 200 "members and seat holders" in the city's three synagogues, projecting at least 1,000 Jews out of the total population of about 42,000—that is, more than 2 percent. However, the attitude the community had to deal with was markedly different. Just like elsewhere in America, Jews as a rule did not face open hatred (except in the 1910s and 1920s, when Dallas housed the national headquarters of the KKK) and suffered little political and economic discrimination. By contrast, social exclusion was rampant. Even as late as 1970, Encyclopedia Judaica reported that that the notorious "6 o'clock curtain" (with Jews being welcome at the office but not at a party) still applied in Dallas and that, in particular, some social clubs still refused to admit Jewish members.
But with exclusion gradually going away in the 1970s and disappearing altogether in the 1980s, the Columbian's Jewish membership began to dwindle, and within a decade or two, its Jewish character was irretrievably lost.
Now that we are welcomed by our neighbors in their social clubs, we happily join them in everything except specifically Jewish activities. And although the Jewish population of Dallas is small in comparison to such centers as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, or Chicago (according to a recent estimate, there are about 50,000 Jews in North Texas), my sense is that the choice of such activities is not inferior to the one I had in Southern California and even in Israel. Dallas and surrounding cities have about 20 Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform synagogues, several Jewish schools and educational institutions, and chapters of just about all national Jewish organizations—from Bnai Zion to the Anti-Defamation League to the Lubavitch Movement. There is even a local Jewish newspaper, the Texas Jewish Post.
This does not mean, of course, that everything about Jewish life in Dallas is perfect. For example, the supply of good kosher dining in the city and its suburbs is way too small. (By far the best certified kosher establishment I have patronized in Dallas is a South Indian restaurant.) Some recent trends are also worrisome, such as the decline of interest in Jewish education for adults that resulted in this year's closure of Beyt Midrash of North Texas and the Judaica Lecture Series at SMU's Bridwell Library. This decline is a cause for serious concern, but the disappearance of a Jews-only country club is not. Rather, the club's demise is a welcome indication that the city's Jewish community has finally, after more than a century of existence, won social acceptance, that this community is secure and strong in its diversity. The Columbian may be gone, but the Jews of Dallas are here to stay.

The Ride of Your Life Just 4 Digits Away?
Ducati has been at the vanguard of driving technology into motorcycles of late starting with traction control in the Ducati 1098R in 2008 and then taking it up several notches with the Multistrada 1200 in 2010 which allows for on the fly changes to suspension and engine mapping. The new Ducati Diavel includes many of the same systems including a proximity key with a PIN code immobilizer override which has been causing a stir on the interwebs.
A proximity key is one that allows the bike to be started as long as the fob is within close proximity to the motorcycle (e.g in a jacket pocket). Ducati allows a 4 digit PIN code to be set which would allow the bike to be started without the key fob in the case of a system malfunction.
Recently claims have surfaced on many web forums that suggested that the Diavel can be started easily without the key since the PIN code is set by default to the last 4 digits of the VIN. All of these claims turn out to be sourced from one blog post where the writer, who claims to be in the IT security industry, test rides a Ducati in Denver, CO only to find he cannot re-start the bike after stopping the engine. The date of this purported test ride? – April 1st!
"On my way back to the dealership I stopped by one of my good friends house to get a second opinion before I put down the deposit. After turning the bike off (via the On/Off electronic button) I went to grab him from the house but he wasn't home. So, I hopped back on the bike and was headed back to the dealership. Except it wasn't that easy. I got on the bike and hit the start button. The pretty screens fired back up with an electronic buzz and the TFT read "password" and showed 4 spaces."
link: Security in Motion
The blog post goes on to recount how ultimately the bike was started by entering in the pin code, which happened to be the last 4 digits of the VIN. The implication, if true, was that would be thieves could easily start any Diavel after glancing at the VIN number. The post went on to claim that 4 other Diavel's at dealerships could be started this way.
So what are the facts? Ducati does in fact offer an immobilizer over-ride option on the Diavel and the Multistrada 1200 as outlined in their respective user manuals (Diavel shown). It is indeed possible to set a 4 digit code in order to start the bike without the fob. It is also possible to change it (if you know the original code).
Responding to Ducati News Today's enquiry, Ducati pointed out that this code is not set at the factory so this feature must be enabled if desired. According to Ducati:-
"There is no code set at all by the factory- it is supposed to be set at the dealer during PDI (pre-delivery inspection). They should be asking the customer what PIN code they want." – Ducati North America
It is certainly possible that some demonstrator machines could have had their immobilizer over-ride set to the last 4 digits of the VIN but this would have been done by the dealer themselves.
The lesson here is that if you are purchasing a Ducati Multistrada 1200 or Diavel you should ensure the dealer sets the code to one you select as you take delivery. If you are concerned about the possibility of a thief virtually hot wiring your machine remember that there are 10,000 possible permutations available.
Given that the process of trying to enter a code is hardly a simple process (given that there is no keypad), it would take almost 28 hours of continuous trial and error to try all the permutations (assuming one code could be entered every 10 seconds).
So in summary, there is no code set at the factory and if you purchase a Diavel (or Multistrada 1200) your dealer should ask what PIN code you would like the override set to. If the remote possibility that a thief could brute force your code disturbs you, note that you can always not set an immobilizer override at all or have your dealer turn the feature off. Then you can only start the bike with the key fob in your possession.

Hoo's Busy Portable Portfolio
Posted by administrator on Tuesday, December 27th, 2011
Hiya! I'm Kristi McDonough, pattern designer for Shari Butler of Doohikey Designs. I am also a wife, mother to the world's sweetest three year old girl ever, fabric enthusiast, quilting novice, felt toy maker and all around lover of all things crafty. I run a teeny tiny blog and a teeny tiny etsy shop . I'm pretty sure my daughter inherited the same genes, she already has her own sewing machine and knows how to operate it!
We like to keep ourselves busy whether we're home or away. Today's project is the perfect thing to keep in your car for any time you need a good distraction: restaurants, doctor's offices, the in-laws etc. Plus, it is about a million times better than the old restaurant stand by of three crayons and a paper placemat. You and your child will be so happy to have a Busy Portfolio.
Hoo's Busy Portable Portfolio
Course Instructor: Kristi McDonough
This is the perfect project to make in an afternoon, and would make a great gift. It doesn't take a lot of fabric so it could be just the thing to make a few of to have on hand the next time your child gets an invitation to a birthday party. Shall we get started?
Here's what you need:
2/3 yard laminated cotton
2/3 yard quilters cotton
1 yard fusible, heavyweight interfacing
12" 1/4" elastic
one 3/4" shank button -or- 3/4" button-to-cover
Walking foot
Tailor's wax, disappearing ink marker and/or chalk marker
Paints, markers, colored pencils, crayons, coloring book, stickers, book etc
***This project uses a 1/2" seam allowance***
When planning to cut your pattern pieces, be sure to keep the design in mind. (Does it have a one way design?) Start by cutting the following:
Main Outer/Lining Piece 13"x22", cut one laminate, one cotton, one interfacing
Coloring Book Pocket 13"x9", cut one laminate, one cotton, one interfacing
Book/Picture Pocket 13"x9", cut one laminate, one cotton, one interfacing
Marker/Pencil Pocket 13"x7", cut two cotton, one interfacing
Crayon Box Pocket 6"x6", cut one laminate
Handles 4"x8", cut two laminate
Following manufacturer's instructions, fuse interfacing to laminate pieces, and to one marker pocket piece. I know this sounds crazy, but you can iron laminate. You can iron it laminate side down without a press cloth or laminate side up with one.
With right sides together and sewing along the 13" length, stitch the LEFT side of Coloring Book Pocket laminate to cotton lining; stitch RIGHT side of Book/Picture Pocket; stitch RIGHT side of Marker/Pencil pocket.
Press seams towards opposite edge of pocket, turn lining to inside and press. Topstitch along seam 1/2". Repeat for remaining pockets.
On the right side of the marker pocket, measure 1 1/2" up from bottom edge and draw a line. Continue every 1", leaving 1/2" for seam allowance at the top.
Lay the marker pocket on top of the Book/Picture pocket, having raw edges even. Baste sides and bottom.
Carefully sew along marker pocket lines, making sure to backstitch for extra strength at opening. This is where the markers will be inserted, so you may want to backstitch it a few times for extra durability. Set aside.
On right side of Coloring Book Pocket, measure 3" up from bottom edge and 1 1/2" in from raw edge. Mark this spot and another at 4" from raw edge. These are your elastic placement guides for the bottom of the watercolor paints.
For the elastic placement for the top of the paints, measure 3 3/4" down from top edge, and 1 1/2" over from raw edge. Mark this spot and another at 4" from raw edge.
Pin 3" lengths of 1/4" elastic on top of dots and satin stitch in place.
For Pen Elastic, Measure down 3 1/2" from top and 1" from finished edge of pocket. Mark this spot and again at 2" from finished edge. Pin a 1" length of elastic on these marks and satin stitch in place.
With wrong side of pockets to right side of Main Cotton Lining, lay the Marker/Picture Pocket on LEFT side, and Coloring Book Pocket to RIGHT side, matching raw edges; baste.
To create the handles, fold each handle piece in half, lengthwise with wrong sides together and press, using a press cloth.
Open handle up and fold edge to center; press.
Open again and turn remaining edge to center; press. Repeat for the other handle.
Starting with the open edge of the handle pieces, topstitch 1/8" along both long edges. I always start with the open edge to prevent any weird pulling or puckering that may happen by sewing the folded side first. Set handles aside.
To create the hem on the Crayon Box Pocket, measure 1" down from top of pocket and mark all the way across.
Fold edge to this line, creating a 1/2" casing for the elastic; press.
With wrong side up, zig-zag stitch along the raw edge, placing the center of your presser foot along the raw edge of the hem.
Mark the center of the bottom of the pocket and also at 1" on both sides. Make a box pleat by bringing the left and right marks to the center and pressing pleat flat; pin in place.
Sew 1/2" seam allowance on sides and bottom of pocket. This will used as your folding guide.
With wrong side up, fold corners to inside and press.
Fold sides and bottom along seam line and press. Insert a 6" length of 1/4" elastic into casing. Secure both sides by sewing over once or twice.
Mark the center of the elastic edge of Crayon Box Pocket.
With right side up, mark the center of the side of the Main Laminate piece. Measure 2 1/2" away from side edge; pin pocket in place, making sure centers match and having elastic opening along side edge; edgestitch in place using a zig-zag stitch. Center the edge of the pocket with the middle line of your presser foot.
(Side note, you may have noticed that the pocket in the picture is not placed like I have explained in these instructions. I decided after completing my portfolio that it would make more sense if the opening of the crayon pocket was under the handle so when the child is carrying the portfolio, there's less of a chance that the crayons won't fall out.)
Find the center of the Main Laminate piece and make a mark 1" away on both sides. Align edge of handles on each side; there should be a 2" space between each end. Pin in place; baste. Repeat for second handle. Fold a 3 1/2" piece of elastic in half and place on center mark on Crayon Pocket Side; baste.
With right sides together, lay Main Cotton Lining piece on top of Main Laminate piece. Pin all the way around, leaving a 4" gap for turning at the bottom. If you are using a directional fabric, be sure that your main pieces are facing the correct way. You don't want to turn your project out only to discover that your outside is upside down!
Clip corners; turn and press.
Pin the opening closed and edgestitch the portfolio all the way around.
Mark the center line and stitch.
Now all you have to do is sew the button on the outside of the portfolio and you're finished!
I am happy to answer any questions that you may have. Feel free to contact me ! I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial.
Nicely done. I love the idea of laminate for the outside. Plan to try this tutorial. Thanks for sharing!by Joyce

"We have to execute better. That's all it comes down to," Bulldog head coach Jenny Hazelwood said. "We simply just did not play well enough to win on the road. With two home matches next weekend, we have to correct our mistakes and get turned around before getting into the heart of conference play."
After the Tigers took the first two points of the match, MSU could never narrow the margin. The Bulldogs began a surge late in the set but the eight-point deficit was too much to overcome as LSU won 25-20. Freshman Kimmy Gardiner began her stellar day with four kills, a dig and a block in the opening stanza.
An early kill by the rookie in the second set helped State build a 9-5 advantage before a 13-3 run by LSU stole the lead that the Bulldogs could never regain. Gardiner added another five kills and two digs but it was not enough as the Tigers won 25-18.
Momentum was solely on LSU's side of the court for the final set as the Tigers jumped out to a 12-4 lead and never let up. State surrendered the final frame 25-18.
Gardiner finished the day with 13 kills, seven digs and a block for 13.5 points. Sophomores Alex Warren and Taylor Scott also contributed seven and six kills, respectively. Senior Dani McCree tacked on six more.
Scott also added 10 digs to go along with Roxanne McVey's 17, while Suzanne Horner turned in 29 assists.
Next up, the Bulldogs return home to face South Carolina and Tennessee on Oct. 18 and 20 in the Newell-Grissom Building.

For Flo Rida, making music is boiled down to one simple strategy: have hook, will travel. The pop star/MC drops a half-hour set of familiar grooves attesting more to his hit-making prowess than his lyrical skills. No one is going to mistake this for hip-hop, as it's obvious the Florida native is more interested in creating smash singles than crafting multi-dimensional songs. He has numerous potential chart-toppers here thanks to a well-tested formula. His sharp producers develop a melodic earworm or sample a popular riff, add a galloping beat, and let the MC drop rudimentary rhymes laced with double entendres ("Whistle") or party vibes ("Good Feeling"). Each song is a slight variation of this equation except for the slower, slightly introspective change of pace, "Thinking of You." Ultimately, it's futile to resist the giddy infectiousness of some cuts, like the title track, which features the sweet singing Sia. Still, the hook theft in "Run" (from Bryan Adams's "Run to You") is downright shameless. Of course, alcohol-fueled party mavens won't care one whit. (Out Tuesday)

College Hockey:Linstad Jumps to UConn
STORRS, Conn. — Heather Linstad, head coach of the Northeastern women's program for the past eight season, has been tabbed by Connecticut to lead its fledgling program.
Linstad, who had a 161-71-27 record at Northeastern, including four Beanpot titles and a 1997 ECAC Championship, will lead UConn into its first year of varsity play, where it will compete as a Division I independent in 2000-2001.
"As we launch women's ice hockey as our 24th intercollegiate varsity sport in 2000-2001, we are very pleased to have identified in Heather Linstad an experienced, and highly successful, collegiate head coach," said Lew Perkins, athletic director at UConn.
"Heather was a major college ice hockey star during her undergraduate years and she has become an outstanding coach, enjoying repeated success in directing the nationally-ranked women's ice hockey program at Northeastern."
Linstad won a school-record 27 games in 1996-97, and led Northeastern to a berth in the first-ever women's national tournament in 1998. In her second season as head coach in 1993-94, Linstad led Northeastern to a 19-6-3 overall record, winning her first Beanpot title, while being honored as ECAC Coach of the Year.
The 1999-2000 Northeastern women's ice hockey team completed the season with a 22-9-3 overall record and the Huskies were ranked No. 6 in the nation in the final U.S. College Hockey Online women's Poll.
Linstad was a three-sport performer at Providence before graduating in 1989, playing ice hockey, women's soccer and softball. She was the captain of the hockey team for three seasons. She holds the distinction of being the only person to win both ECAC Player of the Year (1989) and Coach of the Year honors.

We're in Charlottesville, VA
This professional Coin Pail, with built-in coin delivery system, makes it possible! And SO EASY!
Show both hands empty, then pick up this large Champagne Bucket from your table. Instantly you start to to pluck coin after coin from the air. Coins from everywhere- each making a loud ringing as it hits the bucket, to prove you've really dropped the coin inside!
Pull coins from a spectator's ear, nose, pocket- even let the spectator himself "catch" a coin from the air and drop it into the bucket- hear it clink! The cleverly constructed gimmick attached to the pail lets you perform this classic miracle with only a minimum of practice to get your routine smooth.
Designed exactly like the pail used by the world famous coin manipulator, Frakson, who used a pail like this for over 40 years in his professional nite-club act. The most important feature of this bucket is the realistic coin "clink" sound. With this pail the coins can be heard in the largest hall, nite-club or auditorium. This outstanding classic of magic is also known as The Miser's Dream.
Holds U.S. half dollar sized coins (not included).
You supply the U.S. half dollar coins. Coins are available at your bank, or buy them from us (see below)Coin Pail is made of polished aluminum. About 12" high.

Just a few years ago, my husband and I didn't think we were capable of fostering teenagers, but when we learned about the need for foster homes for teens, we decided to give it a try anyway. That was the best decision we could have made.
DEAR ABBY: Please remind your readers that it's important to keep their dogs on a leash for their pets' protection as well as the protection of those around them. In my community, leash laws are rarely enforced, and it's common to see dogs

I'll take a break this week from the divisive political theater that is the presidential campaign to discuss something that should be of importance to everyone in this country — history. In particular, I wish to discuss the history that has been

I watched U.S. Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina fight back tears as I was debating how to begin this article. He was visibly mourning his beloved Republican Party in the clutches of a hate-mongering racist for whom he refuses to vote. I

In all my days growing up in Lennox Valley, I can't remember a day as tense as Thursday, August 20, 1998. Old-timers still say the tension could match any moment in Valley history, before or since.
Dr. Henry Heimlich, the 96-year-old surgeon who developed a procedure to help victims who are choking, recently used the maneuver that bears his name for the first time. Witnesses say Heimlich performed the emergency technique to save the life of

Johnson City Press staff writer Jessica Fuller was covering what should have been a routine meeting of the Johnson City-Washington County Animal Control Board on Monday when something quite disturbing happened. This public board, which oversees

Community Voices columnist Kenneth Gough is imaginative with facts. The Johnson City meeting with state House Speaker Beth Harwell's health care task force provides a case in point.
In mid-May, East Tennessee joined the larger regions around it in having a guidebook for the blossoming number of craft beer drinkers.
The number of individuals behind bars in federal and state prisons and local jails is currently over 2 million. The war on drugs has been a major driver of the large size of the prison population in our country.
As many as 6,000 people will die this year while waiting for an organ donation. Becoming an organ donor can help reduce those numbers. In Tennessee, it's as easy as checking a box on your driver's license.
The stalling on Gov. Bill Haslam's Insure Tennessee proposal indicates that state House Speaker Beth Harwell's health care task force wasn't designed to manufacture a solution to provide insurance for the hundreds of thousands in the coverage gap

- National Totals
According to the EPA, recycling provides an annual benefit of 49.7 million metric tons of carbon equivalent emissions reduced, comparable to removing 39.4 million passenger cars from the road each year.
Interestingly, items diverted for recycling don't always remain in the United States. The number one U.S. export by volume is scrap paper, which travels by container ships to Asia and Mexico. Scrap metal was also among our most valuable exports last year.
The scrap paper does help these nations conserve more of their forests, but as a result we lose some of ours. America's southeastern forest – what Hershkowitz calls "the most biologically diverse forest in the world" – is still being used to make paper.
"That's the downside of our paper exports, that we are not replacing the destruction of southeast forests with recycled fiber," he said.
From National Geographic.com
We continue to look for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and lessen our impact on the environment. There are clearly more things we could and possibly should be doing. We welcome any suggestions on what else we might be able to implement.
