Liberty Counsel: Churches May Have to Give Up Tax Exemptions to Save America From Turning Into "Communist Romania"
Back in 2008, the Alliance Defense Fund launched its "Pulpit Initiative" designed to encourage pastors to openly endorse political candidates in their sermons and a direct challenge to IRS restrictions. And ADF is planning to do it again this year right before the elections.
But not all right-wing legal groups are so bold, which is why Mat Staver and the Liberty Counsel partnered with the Florida Family Policy Council and Christian Coalition of South Florida for a series of "Pastors' Freedom Forums" to explain just what churches legally can and cannot do.
But you have to admit that Staver doesn't seem particularly concerned about the possibility that they might lose their tax exemption if they cross that line, because God will always provide for them:
"So why do we think God depends upon tax deductibility to keep the Gospel going?" Staver asked. "We enjoy tax deductibility now, and that's fine; but if we ever have to give it up, so what! God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. His resources aren't limited."
And while Staver was telling pastors not to worry about losing their tax-exept status, Liberty Counsel's Harry Mihet was urging them to stand up adn fight in the "time of war" or else watch America turn into "communist Romania":
"Dear brothers and sisters, this is a time of war," Mihet said. "As citizens of this country and as citizens of the Kingdom, we are engaged in a battle for the very heart and soul of our nation against people and groups that are fighting tirelessly day and night to radically transform our country—to change it from the land of the free into a place that is without God, without values, a place where anything goes except genuine Christianity—to a place that looks more and more like communist Romania."
Mihet said it would be tragic for "future generations" if the Americans don't "show up" and, as a result, the battle is lost. "What a powerful testimony to the might of the God we serve it would be if men and women of God would stand up and rise to this challenge and join in the fight for the soul of our country," he said.

Refund Requests
Natural Gas Tax
Reporting Requirements for Refund Requests
All refund requests are subject to verification prior to issuing a refund. The most important part of all refund requests submitted to the Comptroller's office is the postmark and, if applicable, the received and signature date of an Assignment of Rights to Refund (Form 00-985). All types of refund requests must be submitted before the four-year statute of limitations of a report period elapses.
Reasons for Filing a Refund Request
Refund requests filed by taxpayers are based on one or more of the following reasons:
- marketing costs,
- any approved legislative exemption,
- exempt value for governmental entities,
- value reduction,
- tax reimbursement,
- credit interest earned,
- overpaid tax,
- waiver on penalty assessments and
- erroneous assessment on tax, penalty and/or interest.
Mailing Address for Refund Requests
In order to record the receipt of refund requests and track pertinent information submitted by taxpayers, consultants and/or service providers, the original refund request letter and required documents must initially be mailed to the following address:
Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
Account Maintenance Division
Crude Oil and Natural Gas Tax Section
111 E. 17th Street
Austin, TX 78774-0100
Contact Information
Contact Account Maintenance Division for additional information.
Refund Request Package
Documents for a refund request must include the following:
- Statement on the letter from the taxpayer/consultant stating that credit-amended report(s) were filed electronically, or filed on paper,
- Attachment of summary schedules and/or detailed spreadsheets,
- Enclosure of a signed Limited Power of Attorney (Form 10-341), if applicable, and
- Enclosure of a signed Assignment of Rights to Refund (Form 00-985), if applicable.
Refund Request Letter
When submitting a refund claim, a taxpayer/consultant must state in detail each reason or ground the claim is based.
In order for correspondence from a taxpayer/consultant to meet the legal requirements to constitute a complete refund claim, Texas Tax Code 111.104(c) requires all of the following:
- the refund claim must be written,
- state fully and in detail each reason or ground the refund claim is founded and
- must be filed before the expiration of the applicable statute-of-limitation period.
If any of the three requirements indicated above are not met, then the refund request is deemed an incomplete refund claim. Tolling of the four-year statute-of-limitations will not occur for the report periods specified on the original refund claim until all of the three requirements indicated above are fulfilled.
Reporting Requirements for Approved Legislative Exemptions
Taxpayers are required to file credit-amended reports to recoup taxes previously paid on a lease for a specific report period for all approved legislative exemptions. These reports must be filed within four years from the due date of a report period. Examples of approved legislative exemptions are low-producing well exemption, reduced tax rate for high cost gas and two-year inactive well exemption.
Leases Approved for Reduced Tax Rate for High Cost Gas
All of the following criteria must be met to obtain a credit from leases approved for reduced tax rate for high cost gas:
- Four-Year Statute of Limitation: Credit-amended reports must be filed within four years from the due date of a production period.
- Ten Percent Penalty: Request for Approval of Reduced Tax Rate for High Cost Gas (Form AP-180) must be filed at the later of the 180th day after the date of first production or the 45th day after the date of approval by the commission. If Form AP-180 is not filed by the applicable deadline, the tax exemption or tax deduction is reduced by 10 percent for the period beginning on the 180th day after the first day of production and ending on the date on which Form AP-180 is filed with the Comptroller.
- One-Year Window Requirement: Credit-amended reports containing approved exempt high cost gas wells which have production periods that are prior to the Comptroller's signature date must be filed by the first anniversary from the Comptroller's signature date.
- Two-Year Window Requirement: If the application for certification is submitted to the Texas Railroad Commission after Jan. 1, 2004, the total allowable credit for taxes paid for reporting periods before the date the application is filed may not exceed the total tax paid on the gas that otherwise qualified for the exemption or tax reduction and that was produced during the 24 consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the month in which the application for certification was filed with the Texas Railroad Commission.
Reporting Requirements for Marketing Cost Refund Claims Filed by Natural Gas Producers
Wellhead Value
Establishing the producer's actual marketing costs and subtracting these costs from the producer's gross cash receipts from the sale of the gas determines the market value at the mouth of the well, or wellhead value.
Detailed Information on Marketing Costs
Visit our Natural Gas Severance Taxes Audit Policy on Marketing Costs webpage for general concepts on marketing cost deductions and a list of allowable and not allowable marketing costs claimed.
Two Methods of Filing Marketing Cost Credits by a Producer
- When a producer reports and pays their own natural gas tax on a lease in a specific report period, a producer is required to file an amended report to claim a marketing cost credit.
- When a producer reports as not being liable for the natural gas tax on a lease in a specific report period, a producer is required to file an amended report on the purchaser's account to claim a marketing cost credit.
Marketing Cost Credits Claimed by a Producer When a Purchaser Paid the Tax on a Lease
Whenever producers submit a refund claim for marketing cost credits and purchasers have paid the tax for specific leases, reporting requirements have been established for tracking and reporting these refund claims.
To accurately post refund claims for marketing costs on the Comptroller's records, the producer (or consultant who has filed a Limited Power of Attorney) must file credit-amended reports on the purchaser's account, when all or a portion of the refund, comes from purchaser-paid taxes. This process ensures all credits for marketing costs reported by producers are recorded on the Comptroller's computer system.
Producer Requirements When Filing Credit-Amended Reports for Marketing Cost Credits on the Purchaser's Account
To receive a refund of purchaser-paid taxes, producers or consultants must submit the following documents for all pending and future refund claims for marketing costs:
- letter requesting a refund for the marketing cost credits,
- Limited Power of Attorney (Form 10-341), signed by each purchaser,
- Assignment of Right to Refund (Form 00-985), signed by each purchaser and
- schedule(s) listing credit amounts for each report period and each purchaser.
After these credit-amended reports are filed to a purchaser's account and provided the credit-amended reports do not contain critical errors, the credit amounts will be validated, deemed refundable and then transferred to the producer's account for refund purposes. Examples of when a credit amount is not refundable from a purchaser's account:
- a purchaser's account has delinquent liabilities in other report periods and/or
- the credit amount generated from a credit-amended report is not available in the corresponding report period. In this case, a reduction of the credit amount occurred because a previous liability existed.
Credit-amended reports filed by a producer for marketing cost credits and processed to a purchaser's account must include all of the following:
- commodity code,
- lease type,
- lease number,
- county number,
- exemption type, if applicable,
- producer taxpayer number,
- "Yes" block marked in the report field titled, "Are you liable for the tax?,"
- marketing cost amount and
- credit amount in the report field titled, "Net Taxable Value."

French Chairs
Furnishing the Drawing Room with French Chairs
Jean-Baptiste Lelarge
Purchase and conservation made possible through funds from the Dolley Madison Legacy Luncheon
Like their peers, the Madisons often acquired furnishings second-hand through friends, vendors, and auctions. Dolley Madison once asked her brother-in-law Richard Cutts: "Do they sell 2d hand Carpets – or Carpetting at Oction cheap? at what price?" Furniture sales by departing ambassadors or foreign dignitaries often presented an opportunity to acquire otherwise scarce foreign goods.
George Washington Connection
In 1789, President George Washington purchased a set of chairs from French ambassador, the Comte de Moustier when he was recalled. Washington brought the chairs to Philadelphia, the temporary national capital, for use in the green drawing room of the Executive Mansion, a house rented from Robert Morris. Washington filled out the set in 1793 with identical Louis XVI style chairs ordered from French-trained Philadelphia upholsterer George Berteault. Berteault, in turn, subcontracted out the woodwork to local cabinet maker Adam Hains. The chairs, listed on the February 1797 document "Articles in the Green Drawing Room which will be sold," were sold at an auction of Executive Mansion furnishings when Washington retired in 1797. Evidence suggests that James and Dolley Madison, who were in Philadelphia at the time, likely purchased the chairs and other items at this sale.
Presidential Detective Story at Work
An extensive investigation of six Louis XVI-styled French chairs with provenances linking them to the Madisons, now in private and museum collections, took place between 2010 and 2012. In addition to paint and wood experts, The Montpelier Foundation partnered with the Mount Vernon Ladies Association, the Moses Myers House at the Chrysler Museum of Art, and private collectors to determine provenance and answer the outstanding question: "Were these six chairs once owned by James Madison?"
Findings from paint microscopy and wood sampling were revealing. In addition to a Madison provenance, six common layers of paint bridged four of the extant chairs – owned by The Montpelier Foundation on behalf of The National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Mount Vernon Ladies Association, and a private collection. One chair retained the stamp of Jean-Baptiste Lelarge (1744-1802), a well known eighteenth century Parisian chairmaker. During his career, Lelarge also completed commissions for Marie Antoinette's Petite Trianon and the Palace at Fontainebleau. Further, these same four side chairs are constructed from beech, the traditional wood with which French menuisiers use to manufacture chairs, stools, and other seating furniture. The three unstamped chairs with shared paint and wood history to the stamped Lelarge chair were likely part of the blended set Washington ordered from Berteault. Since it is known that Washington patronized the French master tappisier, or upholsterer, it is probable that the three unstamped chairs are American copies of the fourth French-made chair, originally purchased by Washington from the Comte de Moustier.
A one-day symposium was held at Montpelier in November 2010 to deliver the results of the comparative study. The groundbreaking discoveries confirmed that the Madisons owned of a set of Louis XVI-style chairs, and eventually led Montpelier to acquire a set of ten nearly identical neoclassical side chairs stamped by Jean Baptiste Lelarge with similarly turned, fluted, and tapered legs, carved rosettes, and squared backs. As Dolley requested of Hannah Gallatin in 1816, the chairs are upholstered in the same crimson damask used for the Drawing Room window treatments. The chairs are painted common gray based on microscopy analysis of the originals.
Research into the Madisons' French chairs was made possible by generous funding and support from the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Fund for Historic Interiors. Expert wood analysis was provided by Thomas A. Snyder of Williamsburg Art Conservation, Inc.; paint analysis was conducted by Susan L. Buck, Ph.D. Contact Montpelier's curatorial department for a copy of Thomas A. Snyder's final report, "A Comparative Analysis of Six Louis XVI Style Chairs for James Madison's Montpelier."

What is Paint Microscopy?
Cross-section paint microscopy is a technique used to learn about the historical layers of paint on a wall or a piece of furniture. Using a scalpel, a trained conservator can take a small paint sample and view it under a microscope. The conservator then analyzes the layers of paint, or strata, and dates them by composition. In keeping with the law of superposition, the oldest paint layers are located on the bottom followed by newer layers.
What is Wood Sampling?
Wood sampling is useful in determining the type of wood used to make a particular piece of furniture. A trained conservator generally takes a small sampling of wood from an inconspicuous location on the piece, i.e. the underside of a chair. The sample is then viewed under a microscope and identified. In many cases, once the type of wood is identified, a conservator can determine the origin of the piece of furntiture. For example, Yellow Pine, as a secondary wood, suggests an origin in the southern United States.

What is in this article?:
- Court rules horse slaughter could resume soon
- National debate
Animal protection groups are reeling after the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver lifted an emergency injunction last week.
More About:
National debate
The interest and intent of meat processing facilities to obtain permits and resume domestic horse slaughter prompted a national debate over the issue, often dividing ranchers, animal welfare groups, politicians, and even Indian tribes.
While many applauded the virtual ban on horse slaughter operations imposed when Congress failed to fund federal inspections in 2007, many claimed it left the horse industry with few choices to deal with a growing problem of animal abandonment and neglect. As a result of several years of serious drought, especially across the Southwest and in the Midwest, forage crops suffered and were in short supply and hay and feed prices spiraled, adding to the problem by forcing many horse owners to sell their horses at auction.
Proponents of domestic slaughtering of horses say the crisis forced sale prices down for horses and that opened the door to companies that purchased unwanted horses wholesale at auction and shipped them to Mexico or Canada where they can be legally slaughtered. They argue a ban on domestic slaughter increases the risk of animal cruelty because unwanted horses are often packed into trailers and trucks and shipped great distances to international borders. Many of the animals die in route.
In addition, they argue that animals that survive are often subjected to worse slaughter conditions at unregulated foreign processing facilities.
Representatives of Valley Meat Company of Roswell, who were granted a federal permit and prepared to open just a few days after the initial temporary injunction was issued last summer, say company officials plan to resume slaughter operations but say it may be two weeks before they start processing animals.
Officials at the Humane Society of the United States issued a statement late Friday saying the fight to stop domestic horse slaughter is not over.
"We will press for a quick resolution of the merits of our claims," HSUS said last week.
The consumption and sale of horse meat in the United States is prohibited by law, but companies seeking permits to resume domestic horse slaughter say there is a market for horse meat in several countries where it is legal and say it is also lawful to sell horse meat to be used as animal food.

In round 2 with ease
Roger opened his 2013 Australian Open quest with a straight-sets win against Benoît Paire today.
"I'm happy, he's a good player, good talent and I have not played a match this season yet so I wasn't sure and that's why you're relieved when you're through the first one," Roger said.
It was Roger's first match on the Tour since the ATP World Tour finals in London in November, and he showed no real signs of rustiness, breaking the Frenchman six times and serving solidly himself to secure a 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 win.
Competing in his 53rd straight Grand Slam, Roger is bidding to become only the second player after Australia's Roy Emerson (six titles from 1961-1967) to win five Australian Open titles. Our champ could regain the number one spot should he win this year's Australian Open while Novak Djokovic would drop out before the semi-finals.
Great start!!! Good luck against Davydenko and I'll be cheering for you as always! :)
Your biggest fan,
Good luck against Davydenko. love always Helen xxxxxxx
Thank you for making me so happy! Hope you'll continue your wonderful play tomorrow vs Davydenko.
Wish you all the best and good luck dearest Roger!
Go, Roger, goooooooooooooo!
Love Mimi
Just Do It!!!

After Hours in Guangzhou
Guangzhou at Night
There was a time — back in the mid-20th century — when Guangzhou, the southern Chinese city, was the only place foreigners could do business.
But in recent decades, in the wake of the country's economic boom, Guangzhou has been relegated to ugly-little-sister status next to the glitzy business centers of Shanghai and Beijing. Now the former gateway to China is the world's factory floor, and many observers — within the country and without — deride it as a dirty, grimy, money-grubbing town. It's a great place to make cheap stuff, but the city of more than 10 million has little else of note beyond its famous cuisine.
Recently, this perception has started to change. Guangzhou hosted the Asian Games last November and with that came a spate of construction, with ambitious architecture that rivals that of China's top two cities. An opera house designed by Pritzker-prize winner Zaha Hadid had a soft opening in May (its official opening is this week). Five luxury hotels are set to open their doors this year, and service apartments are at full capacity hosting foreign executives, according to experts in the hospitality industry. Restaurants, bars and clubs — packed with roving bands of models from all over the world — are sprouting throughout the city.
Finally, Guangzhou is having a cosmopolitan moment of its own.
A night out in the new Guangzhou should begin with a panorama. Head out to Tianhe in the eastern part of the city and stroll down the wide canyons of Zhujiang West Road and Zhujiang East Road, lined with gleaming skyscrapers.
Walk toward Huacheng Plaza, and the citys' best new architecture will surround you: The 103-story International Finance Centre, whose top 30 floors will house a Four Seasons hotel; the angular, spaceship-like Guangzhou Opera House designed by Ms. Hadid; the enigmatic black and boxy Guangdong Museum (designed by Hong Kong-based Rocco Design Architects); the Guangzhou New Library (designed by Japan's Nikken Sekkei Ltd.); and the Canton Tower (now the world's second-tallest freestanding structure, after Dubai's Burj Khalifa). Stunning and verging on audacious, the five buildings were completed in the past year, in time for the Asian Games.
Near the museum and matching it in ultramodern design is a branch of Bingsheng Haixian Restaurant, a culinary temple that breathes contemporary fire into traditional dishes. Old-school village staples like stir-fried goose intestine — a dish that tastes far better than it sounds — are on offer, next to shrimp sashimi and a savory steamed crab-curry custard. The menu is in Chinese only, but for those lacking language skills, each dish listed comes with a photo.
If you're friends with a diplomat or a Guangzhou-stationed executive with a Fortune 500 company, ask for an invite to the newly opened, members-only Canton Club. Luxurious and serene, it takes up seven floors and includes spa and gym facilities as well as both a Western and Chinese restaurant. Opened just four months, it's already the place to congregate for the city's expatriate elite; most of Guangzhou's consul-generals are members and many multinational companies have corporate memberships.
But there are plenty of choices for the rest of us. In the neighborhood near the Garden Hotel in the Yuexiu district, long a hub for the international crowd, the attractive options keep multiplying. Along one strip of Jianshe Liu Ma Road, six restaurants — ranging from a French bistro to an Australian steak house — have opened in the past two months.
One of them, an Italian restaurant called Nero Vivo, has become a regular meeting place for expats from Italy. Owner Andrea Bertini and some of his mates from Venice serve Italian classics like canneloni and tiramisu, while a few doors down at the bistro Le Saint-Tropez, you're likely to spot a table of international models nibbling at the edges of their plate before they head around the corner to Duo Club, the epicenter of nightlife for the lip-gloss crowd.
There are plenty of other nightlife choices, from the contemplative to the restorative, in the neighborhood. For the former, the Happy Monk is packed with fashionable young locals sipping pints of Belgian ale on tap. For the latter there's the odd restaurant-bar named Club Basement known to run such promotional deals as this 200 yuan ($30) meal for two: pizza, a bottle of wine — and foot massages. It's a one-stop shop for food of every cuisine imaginable, wine and massage, all at the same time.
In Guangzhou, the bars are officially supposed to stop serving at 2 a.m. and close just a little later, though after-hours options aren't hard to find if you're with the party crowd. As for late-night eating, the options abound. There are plenty of 24-hour noodle and congee shops, but often, the most-convenient choice is right on the street, where Uighurs — a Muslim people from northern China — set up small barbecue stalls late at night, selling skewered lamb dusted with a cumin-dominated spicy mix. They wisely park in areas close to bars.
Jostling with other night owls in their designer clothes for sticks of meat, it's good to know that the new, cosmopolitan Guangzhou still enjoys a dressed-down primitive treat at the end of the night.

|The Mysterious Thunderbird Phot. One of the Great Unsolved Mysteries in Arizona. Photo of a so-called
Thunderbird and a mysterious creature that had been captured near the town of Tombstone Arizona. I found a
story of this , which you can find below from Ghosts of the Prairie.
Burlington UFO and Paranormal Research and Educational Center

Ghosts of the Prairie
History & Hauntings of America
The Thunderbird Creature of Arizona
One of the Great Unsolved Mysteries has its roots in Arizona!
One of the great mysteries of modern times has its roots in Arizona. This mystery involves a photograph of a
so-called "Thunderbird� and a mysterious creature that was said to have been captured near the town
of Tombstone.
The story goes that two cowboys sighted an enormous flying creature in in the Arizona desert in April 1890.
The beast had the body of a serpent, immense wings, two clawed feet and the face of an alligator. The men
got as close as their skittish horses would allow and then chased the bird on foot. It took off and landed a few
times and the cowboys opened fire with rifles and killed the monster.
The enormous wingspan of the creature was said to have been 160 feet and the body was more than 92 feet
long. It was smooth and featherless, more like a bat than a bird, and they cut off a piece of the wing and
brought it with them into Tombstone, Arizona.
Or least that's the story that was allegedly told in an April 1892 issue of the Tombstone newspaper, the
Epitaph. This was the only mention of the story and it gave all of the appearances of the tall tales that were
often written in the western newspapers of the era. What makes this story different though is that it has given
rise to an odd modern legend.
The story was revived in 1930 in the book On the Old West Coast by Horace Bell and then 33 years later, a
writer named Jack Pearl mentioned the story in the sensationalistic men's magazine called Saga. Not only
did he tell the story though, he went one step further and claimed that the Tombstone Epitaph had, in 1886, â
€œpublished a photograph of a huge bird nailed to a wall. The newspaper said that it had been shot by two
prospectors and hauled into town by wagon. Lined up in front of the bird were six grown men with their arms
outstretched, fingertip to fingertip. The creature measured about 36 feet from wingtip to wingtip.�
Then, in the September 1963 issue of Fate magazine, a writer named H.M Cranmer would state that not only
was the story true, but the photo was published and had appeared in newspapers all over America. And
Cranmer would not be the only one who remembered the photo. Eminent Fortean researcher Ivan T.
Sanderson also remembered seeing the photo and in fact, even claimed to have once had a photocopy of it
that he loaned to two associates, who lost it. The editors of Fate even came to believe that they may have
published the photo in an earlier issue (the magazine started in 1948) but a search through back issues failed
to reveal it. Meanwhile, the original Epitaph story (which mentions no photograph) was revived in a 1969 issue
of Old West, further confusing the issue as to whether the photo was real or not!
The Epitaph however stated that it did not exist, or if it did, it had not been in their newspaper. Responding to
numerous inquiries, employees of the paper started a thorough search of back issues and files. They could
find not such photo and even an extended search of other Arizona and California newspapers of the period
produced no results.
So, is the photo real? And if not, then why do so many of us (myself included) with an interest in the unusual
claim to remember seeing it? Who knows? Just recently, in the late 1990's, author John Keel insisted that â
€œI know I saw it! And not only that - I compared notes with a lot of other people who saw it.â€� Like many of
us, Keel believes that he saw it in one of the men's magazines (like Saga or True) that were so popular in
the 1960's. Most of these magazines dealt with amazing subject matter like Bigfoot, ghosts and more. Keel
also remembers the photo in the same way that most of us do.. with men wearing cowboy clothing and the bird
looking like a pterodactyl or some prehistoric, winged creature.
Interestingly, Keel's writings prompted a memory from W. Ritchie Benedict, who recalled seeing Ivan T.
Sanderson display the photo on a Canadian television show. Unfortunately though, no copies of the show
have ever been found.
During the 1990's, the search for the "Thunderbird Photo� reached a point of obsession for those
interested in the subject. A discussion of the matter stretched over several issues of Mark Chorvinsky's
excellent Strange magazine and readers who believed they had seen the photo cited sources that ranged
from old books, to Western photograph collections, men's magazines and beyond. As for myself, I combed
through literally hundreds of issues of dusty copies of True and Saga but could find nothing more than the
previously mentioned article by Jack Pearl. If the photo exists, I certainly don't have it in my own collection!
So, how do we explain this weird phenomena of a photograph that so many remember seeing and yet no one
can seem to find? Author Mark Hall believes that the description of the photo creates such a vivid image in the
mind that many people who have a knowledge and an interest in curious and eclectic things begin to think the
photo is familiar. It literally creates a "shared memory� of something that does not exist. We think we
have seen it, but we actually have not.
To be honest, I can't say for sure if I agree with this or not. I can certainly see the possibility of a â
€œmemoryâ€� like this that we have created from inside of our own overcrowded minds, but then again, what
if the photo does exist.. and it's out there, just waiting to be discovered in some dusty garage, overflowing
file cabinet or musty basement. I, for one, haven't given up quite yet... and I have a feeling that I am not
the only one who is still out there looking!

Continued by Mary Sutherland, Burlington UFO Center
Well, I don't know about the above picture, but I have a picture in my archives that fits the description of the
Tombstone Arizona Thunderbird picture. If any of you out there are looking for this picture, I have posted it
below so that you may make your own comparison. Whether it be the tombstone picture or not, I don't know,
unless the men were dressed in civil war uniforms...which is highly unlikely....BUT , regardless this picture
does show that such a bird may have existed in more than just one area. Also note there are 6 people
standing around it.
Dear Brad and Mary,
I ran across your site and saw a photo at the bottom of a page talking about the "Tombstone Thunderbird". I
remember having seen this picture many years ago in a cryptozoology book. The caption in the book
described it as "Federal soldiers posing with mysterious bird-like creature, following Battle of Vicksburg, July
1863." While I cannot remember the title of the book, and have been searching for it for some time, the author
also said that researchers claimed the soldiers were super-imposed onto the photograph of a fake model, but
however, the photo had been authenticated. Hope this helps.
Telephone Call from Arizona
The reader believes that this photo is not authentiic based on the pants style of the soldiers.
Apparently in those days, the pants legs would have been much baggier.
So what is your thought on the photo - Fake or Real?

Sugarloaf, which protrudes from the farmlands of Frederick County like a misplaced Western mesa, is one of the area's finest places to take a family hike.
It's privately owned and maintained by the Stronghold Foundation, established by the property's owner to permit people to enjoy the pristine little mountain stub (elevation: 1,282 feet) in perpetuity. Consequently, it's visited mainly by locals who happen to know about it and is rarely as crowded as many national and state parks.
Park your car in the highest (West View) lot the first time you visit; a network of well-blazed trails leads to the top. The green-blazed trail from this lot is probably the easiest; the orange-blazed trail is steep. Either way, it's a challenging but safe climb that robust kids four and up love to make. (Older kids and energetic parents will enjoy parking at the bottom and climbing the entire mountain, which takes more than an hour.)
The payoff for the hike is spectacular: a broad vista of nearly pristine farmland as far as the eye can see. (Okay, an incinerator smokestack is clearly visible, and
you can make out a cluster of Gaithersburg office buildings in the distance, but it's still pretty impressive.) The peak is covered by gigantic chunks of quartzite, and any weekend you're sure to see other parents watching their kids climb around and fighting the urge to bark commands to "be careful!" On a good day, you'll see impressive birds - one time we saw a gorgeous hawk - hanging motionless in the air near the peak, riding the funky air stream that often flutters across this odd bit of geology.
--John Kelly and Craig Stoltz
Words to the wise: This is a largely amenity-free park, so bring snacks and a water bottle or two. You'll find a few picnic tables, but fires aren't permitted. Though the park draws only a couple of hundred visitors on beautiful days, the "go early" rule still applies if your heading for
the parking lots near the top, which are small and can fill up quickly.
Notes: Nearby are Whites Ferry and Seneca Creek State Park.

A Game of Thrones
by George R. R. Martin
A Game of Thrones Chapter 20 Summary
How It All Goes Down
Jon 3
- Jon is miserable up on the Wall. Freezing weather can do that to you. Jon is training to be one of the Night's Watch; he's being trained with the other new recruits (Grenn, Jeren, Todder) by the cruel (and not very effective) teacher, Ser Alliser Thorne.
- Jon is sad because his uncle Ben has gone missing during a patrol north of the Wall. Also, Jon has no friends, which he thinks is because he's better than the other boys. But the Night's Watch blacksmith, Donal Noye, tells Jon that it's because he's a bully: the other boys aren't as good at fighting because they weren't trained like Jon was.
- Then, Jon is summoned to see the Lord Commander, Jeor Mormont, who gives him a note: Bran has woken up. After he gets this good news (and after Donal Noye points out what a jerk he had been), Jon starts being nicer to the other Night's Watch boys.
- Except for Alliser Thorne, the boys seem to like Jon a bit more.

Jingle Bell Rock Lyrics
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle bell rock
Jingle bell swing
And jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin'
Up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in
Jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin'
In jingle bell square
In the frosty air
What a bright time
It's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell, time
Is a swell time
To go glidin' in a
one horse sleigh
Giddy-up, jingle horse
Pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle
In a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell rock

Thermaltake Volcano7 HSF Review
The newest Volcano is here and it's a good one. Though I had problems with the variable speed fan, the design still proved itself to be effective and still maintain a stylish look. With more and more people going to a windowed case, good looks is playing a vital role in the sales of heatsinks. It's good to see that you can have a good looking cooler and also receive a respectable amount of actual cooling.
As stated earlier, though, if you have a lot of case cooling, then you might want to consider getting yourself a fan that doesn't change speeds on you. While the concept is very interesting, the high rate of air moving throughout the case won't allow it to heat up enough to activate the fan's higher rates of speed. It will, however, work well in a normally vented case. When I turned off some of the fannage running within my case, I was able to reach the better cooling capabilities of the fan.
Bottom line...If you're building a new system and want a heatsink that looks cool and can also keep your system at an acceptable temperature, then check out the Volcano7 HSF. It is an effective cooler and costs about US$10 less than the Alpha sink that was used as a comparison (and that's an Alpha without a fan).
- Pro's
Larger footprint
Very smooth base
80mm fan
Looks good
- Con's
Lot of case airflow impedes the variable fan
Rating - 9/10

The Pacific Terrace Hotel is definitely worthy of its high ranking. The hotel staff provided us excellent service beginning with the reservation process and continuing throughout our stay. Danielle was extremely helpful in working with me to get the best possible rate for our partial ocean view room. Cameron (bellman/valet) and Joe (guest services) offered several great suggestions for dinner and made us feel welcome each time we returned to the hotel.
The hotel itself is very attractive, clean, and well located on Pacific Beach. Our room had a balcony with a great view of the ocean and nearby pier. The room was decorated with Tommy Bahama furnishings which were attractive and functional. The beds were very comfortable and the room and bathroom were extremely clean and spacious.
The breakfast buffet was average and our preferred rate enabled us to get it for half price at $5.75 per day, per person.
When staying in the Pacific Beach area, you should realize how congested the area is. We walked down the beach for miles and it is just one building after another. The beach is wide and nice (the water is cold). It's easy to find restaurants, clubs, and shopping within walking distance. Walking is the best way to get around because there is no other place to park your car other than the hotel. It costs $20 per day to park and the parking garage was well lit and convenient - definitely worth it, considering the lack of parking in the area. There were a lot of people partying at clubs/condos/restaurants along the boardwalk; so if that offends you, you might want to pick another beach. We saw plenty of families along the boardwalk too. The Pacific Terrace Hotel is on the north end of the boardwalk, so it doesn't get the same foot traffic and noise as its neighbors to the south.
The hotel loaned us boogie boards, beach chairs, and beach towels at no charge which was a nice benefit.
This location was convenient to our trip to Torrey Pines State Park and La Jolla. Though we didn't go there, Sea World was nearby.
For our week-long trip to San Diego we stayed in three different places - a B&B in Coronado, the Pacific Terrace, and a B&B in Hillcrest. Each place offered different scenery and activities. There's so much to do in San Diego and this was a great way to see more of the city. I would highly recommend the Pacific Terrace.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Oceanfront, 4-diamond hotel between Sea World and La Jolla, offering jacuzzi suites, honeymoon suites, and family suites. Luxury accommodations and award winning service. A Tripadvisor favorite! Heated oceanfront pool. ... more less

- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Priceline, Hotwire, Agoda, Cheap Tickets and Odigeo so you can book your Pacific Terrace Hotel reservations with confidence.

The Cataractes to honor Bergy
Thursday, 02.25.2010 / 12:01 AM ET / News
"This is really special for me. I remember all those hours I spent practicing in that arena when I was younger," recalled the Trois-Rivieres native. "I'd look up at the ceiling and see all of the retired jerseys hanging there and it really made an impression on me."
His time with the Cataractes seems to have had as big an impact on the organization as it did on the current Habs defenseman himself.
"I spent some great years there and that was what really helped me make it to the National Hockey League," explained Bergeron. "I have a lot of respect for the organization and there are a lot of people over there who helped me immeasurably along the way."
Bergeron realizes that seeing his jersey retired won't just be special during the ceremony itself; it also represents the legacy he's left with the team that helped mold him into an NHLer.
"When I think about it, I can picture my son's son going there 30 years from now and seeing his grandpa's jersey hanging in the arena," beamed the 29-year-old power play specialist.
Having his number retired by the Cataractes may be a huge honor for Bergeron, but given his performance in the City of Energy, it shouldn't come as a big surprise. In 163 regular season games in Shawinigan, the defenseman notched 72 goals and added 116 helpers for 188 points. In his last season with the team, he rewrote the league's record books by potting 42 goals – an all-time high among QMJHL blue-liners.
"Records are made to be broken, but I have to admit I'm pretty proud to see that record hold up over all these years," confessed Bergeron.
Overlooked and underrated on NHL draft day, Bergeron owes his shot at the big leagues to his experience in Shawinigan – particularly his coach at the time, Denis Francoeur.
"He really believed in me and it was his confidence in my abilities that pushed me and helped me reach my goal," emphasized Bergeron. "I was the guy who came out of nowhere and had no business being there. He gave me my chance and he's the one who really made it possible for me to be where I am today."
Bergeron's big night is scheduled for February 26 at 7:30 p.m., when his jersey will be retired just prior to puck drop between the Victoriaville Tigers and the Cataractes at the Centre Bionest in Shawinigan.

Has Michael Owen been a revelation at Old Trafford since he signed for United? I for one was surprised with the signing and thought Sir Alex had gone off his tree, but I am coming round to the idea he may be an adequate replacement of Tevez. I know he does not have the work rate of Tevez but could he exceed our expectation this season.
I believe he does have the potential. You can tell that he is goal hungry, which is important in a player that can back up this playstyle. So far, Owen HAS backed it up. Also, Fergie has stated he wants a goal every 2 games from him. Based on his pre season barrage of goals this is possible in the EPL for him.Glory Glory Man United!!!!

2 miles on the railtrail. I walked a 1/2 mile, jogged a mile, then walked another 1/2. I didn't wear racing flats or running shoes, decided instead to wear boots. I thought they might offer more support for my injured foot and they did. Now we'll see what tomorrow brings.
D.H., after doing the P.F. stretches on youtube yesterday, I slept without the Strassburg style sock last night. Hit the floor this morning pain free.
Finished the day with push-ups and sit-ups.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Rich, glad you were pain-free this morning. Also glad you did your stretches.
Got back late last night from military training in Florida.
6 miles on the treadmill this afternoon, 1% incline, in 54:55 (9:09 mile pace).
More important, yesterday was Dark Colt's first track meet in two years. Two years ago as a high school freshman he made varsity on the indoor track team and hadn't raced since, due to knee pain. He isn't in shape, so yesterday's race took a lot out of him. Yesterday he ran on the junior varsity team, 1,000 meters indoors, in 3:20 (second place out of 15 runners).
Second place in a JV race as a junior, after making varsity as a freshman, is no big deal, but he is happy to be back running, and I am happy for him. His goal is to break 5:00 for the mile during this indoor track season. Problem is, he has no base. We'll see.
Dark Horse
I'm a dark horse, running on a dark race course.
Dark Colt's got some speed, 1,000 meters in 3:20 calculates out to a 5:21 mile. With a little luck he may just go under 5:00 for the mile. D.H., do you remember what kind of times he was running as a Freshman? Good for him to be back running again!
It takes discipline to run on a treadmill they way you do, D.H., nice run.
And be sure to check the youtube link I posted in the last workout thread. There's a woman doing Yoga stretches for Plantar Fasciitis you need to see.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...

Great pack, absolutely huge. I attached some external pockets and can load it down. I have to carry medical gear on campouts with the Boy Scouts and even fully loaded this is not that "heavy" a pack.
Long the flagship of Lowe Alpine, I picked up this…
Design: Internal frame
Size: 90 + 15 L
Number of Pockets: 2 side, 1 top
Max. Load Carried: 45
Height of Owner: 6 foot
Price Paid: $159
Long the flagship of Lowe Alpine, I picked up this Contour IV '97 model through REI online cheap -- and I've noticed Campmor has some left even as 1999 approaches. I have a long torso, so the pack's adjustability has been great for me. For the most part, I don't wind up very sore after a trip with this one. The sleeping bag compartment takes a little getting used to. The expandable top and the top lid are nice features -- you can really load this pack down. Hard to beat it for the price -- a REALLY solid pack, especially for under $200. The '98 is the same model, but with built in hydration system (I don't like 'em, so the '97 was a steal for me).

Max. Load Carried: 45 lb
Height of Owner: 5' 9"
Price Paid: $250
I have taken this on one fairly strenuous 10 mile trip into the Ventana Wilderness. A lot of 17 to 23 degree steepness.
The pack when fitted properly provides you with a nice ride. However after a few miles I noticed that the fit begins to shift and you need to keep tightening up the hip belt. You can do this and cut off your circulation. I never had a backpack do this before. And it's frustrating.
Although I have a small and lightweight sleeping bag, I noticed that the lower compartment is shaped too large at the base. I think this is a design flaw, and instead the lower compartment could be higher and narrower. This makes you look like a fat bottomed woman.
I know what a fine pack should feel like, and this is not one of them. And I think for the price you can find something that offers better value. The quality is fair.
Overall I would put this in the mid range of rankings for a middle of the mountaineering. That way you won't be dissappointed.

I tried on North Face Renegade before i bought this bag. It fit me really well because of the ajustable abs system. The price was what i really liked, i got it through campmor and paid $200 which is a really good deal. It is usually about $250 at REI. I have seen it as cheap as $189 in some catalogs. so shop around. But if you have the money, go buy a Dana Design! Other than that, it is a really good pack for the money.
Contrary to what other reviewers here seem to think,…

Contrary to what other reviewers here seem to think, I don't like this backpack! If I could afford it, I would sell it ASAP and purchase a better pack. It is however relatively inexpensive compared to other packs of the same size - possibly it's biggest advantage.
Problems I have include -
1. The silly adjustable shoulder strap suspension system jumping off the webbing "rail" under heavy loads - I most recently had this happen carrying a load up into the Bugaboos this summer. It took 2 of us to fix it. In a more serious situation i.e. a steep technical alpine route - you could be hosed!
2. The base of the pack is just too wide. I find gets in the way, especially climbing or when using ski poles.
3. The coating on the interior of the pack cloth (notably in the pockets on the lid) is delaminating.
4. Under heavy loads (i.e. 100+ lbs), which is what I bought the pack to carry, I find the suspension unstable if the load is at all top heavy (i.e you make use of the extension sleeve) (and yes - I know how to pack a backpack!). The pack shifts around on the shoulder straps, unless the top is cranked into your shoulders, then it's uncomfortable.
I may not be the typical user of this pack (often using it to haul large amounts of climbing gear (i.e. 100+ lbs) typically rather than long backpacking trips), but I know I'm not alone in my opinions of this pack. A friend of mine bought the same pack (against my advice) and ended up selling it after a single trip. Just my $0.02.
I love this pack. I was helping out with a climbing…

I love this pack. I was helping out with a climbing school at Devil's lake state park this past summer. I had all the climbing gear needed (or wanted for that matter) for 6 people. Thinking our climb was going to be 'reserved' before we could get to it we broke into running. I never have had a comfortable pack with so much weight that I could run in and not totally kill my self. Also I kind of impressed myself. If you're looking for a pack for a reasonable price. here is where it's at.

A woman who was the only survivor in a crash that killed three of her friends, and their designated driver, remains hospitalized.
Janell Henderson is in a rehab facility after the southeast Wichita accident over St. Patrick's day weekend. Police believe a medical condition led to the fiery crash, killing Andrew Montgomery, Jessica Metzger, Sara Smith and Victoria Dougherty.
Julie Johnson, Henderson's friend, said Janell was thrown from the vehicle.
"Janell went through the sun roof and that is probably what saved her life," Johnson said. "She was trying to help steer the car with another person inside."
Henderson was taken to a Wichita hospital in critical condition. She has since been transferred to a rehab facility where she continues her road to recovery.
Kelli Garst said Henderson is improving every day.
"Both of her legs from the waist down were completely shattered," Garst said. "The orthopedic surgeon who did that said we put as many pins, needles, plates as her little legs could hold."
The biggest concern for doctor's now is Henderson's head injury, and how that may impact the length of her recovery. While the injuries heal, her friends are doing what they can to help.
"Janell had no insurance, she had just started a new job," Johnson said.
Friends organized a barbeque fundraiser Sunday to help offset medical costs. Donations can also be made here.
"We are going to keep doing other events, as many as we can for as long as we can because she has a long road ahead of her," Johnson said.

Beyond Madrid's main attractions like the Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace, there still remains a lot to be discovered, but not necessarily by foot: instead rise above the city in a teleférico cable car to see what lies west of Spain's capital.
Planning a Trip? Browse Viator's Madrid tours and things to do, Madrid attractions, and Madrid travel recommendations.
Departing from an old granary on Paseo de Pinto Rosales –- a pathway just above the Parque del Oeste (Park of the West) — the cable-strung cars are loaded up before heading 2.5 kilometers westward. Built back in 1969, the technology comes from a Swiss company and is considered an eco-friendly mode of transportation and, to this day, decidedly advanced.
From the closed cabins, you can scope out the rose gardens of the Park of the West, the Principe Pío Station, the M-30 freeway (which circles the city like a car-filled moat) and the Manzanares River. Looking back, you also can enjoy eastern-looking views of the Palace, Almudena Cathedral and Temple of Debod.
Then, you'll ride over many acres of the tree-covered "green lung" of Madrid, Casa de Campo. Conquerable by foot, it can be more quickly enjoyed from above. Along the way, your journey is narrated by a recorded description of the landscape as it unfolds below you.
Finally, you'll arrive at the city's main amusement park. There, you can disembark to check out the lake at Casa de Campo, visit the amusement park's attractions and the zoo-aquarium beyond it, and make a stop at the digital planetarium located in the terminal itself. Or, just stay in your car for the 11-minute journey back to the city.
While this western side of the city may seem like too much of a task for travelers, the teleférico offers the opportunity to not only take a brief rest, but also the chance to scope out the city from above and beyond.

Julien Hamelle (1836-1917) purchased the Paris publisher Jacques Maho (founded 1851) in 1877 and expanded the catalogue with the works of notable French composers of the era - including those of Debussy, Faure, Franck, D'Indy, Pierne, Saint-Saens, and Widor. Hamelle was unusual for a French publisher in that he often employed the engraving services of the Leipzig firm C.G. Röder, while the majority of his French competitors used local engravers. After his death in 1917, the firm continued operation under his children. In 1921, Georges-Edgar Hamelle (1868-1956) became the new leader of the firm. In 1977 Leduc took over the distribution of the Hamelle catalogue and from 1993 on the firm was entirely run by Leduc.

Hi! Could you please help me with some questions regarding amounts:
Some of my products needs to be sold in length with the price indicated per meter (industry standard - so prices can be compared). But the amount ordered is not necessarily in integer, but is most often a decimal number. E.g. 3.7 (or 3,7 in EU) meters. Specifically these products can be sold in lengths from 0,5 meters to 25 meters, with each "step" (unit) being = 0,1.
1) Is there any way of doing this with WooCommerce? (Or any reason why it might be utterly impossible?)
2) My guess is that this is NOT doable "straight from the box" - in that case I would very much appreciate if anybody could give me a few pointers on how I should make a developer do this - what would be the best way to go about it?
Thank you!

Infiniti Claims 'Fastest Full Hybrid' Crown (Video)
Is there no end to the list of "fastest this" and "quickest that" awards that car makers will bestow upon themselves? Some contests are classics, like those for the quickest quarter-mile and zero to 60 mph acceleration. But others, like the fastest-SUV rivalry, border on ridiculous.
Now we know which hybrid has the quickest acceleration. Or at least we know the winner according to Nissan's Infiniti division. The company says its M Hybrid luxury sport sedan is the fastest-accelerating full hybrid in the world. To prove it, the Infiniti drag-races the Porsche Panamera hybrid on what appears to be yet another vast western desert or salt flat.
Next thing you know, car makers will be taking minivans for hot laps of Germany's Nurburgring race track. Maybe they already are.
Nissan released a 90-second video of the showdown called "The Duel," which shows the speeding Porsche in the Infiniti's rearview mirror. The company says a third-party testing firm confirmed that the M was faster, accelerating through the quarter mile in 13.41 seconds and accelerating from 0-100 mph in 11.54 seconds.
Porsche, whose cars are known more for their speed around corners than in straight-line drag races, said it has no comment regarding Infiniti's claim.

flat socks?
Can you knit socks flat? if so, anyone have any patterns? also, what signifies "sock yarn" and how do I know I got what I wanted?
Yes, you can knit socks flat -- a fact I just learned a few days ago. Here's one pattern: http://web.archive.org/web/20070621221437/http://www.ptyarn.com/sidewaysopal.html
Sock yarn is sold as such, "sock yarn." Try Knit Picks for a good selection.
Jan in CA
First of all I want to know why you want to knit socks flat? The seam would drive me crazy. :??
Sock yarn can be varying weights, but it's usually fingering weight yarn and it usually has some nylon or something in it for strength.
There are a bunch of them here to go through. You can see that the sock yarn is in a class by itself even though they also have a fingering weight section.
Well, I don't have any circs or dpns. Well, i have size 10.5 in circs and dpns. That doesn't help so I might as well not have any. : (
Firey Vixxen
There is Sox on 2 Stix on knitty.com (Fall 06). If you're on ravelley you can use the pattern search to bring it up, otherwise you'll have to do it the long way. I haven't tried it (the pattern) yet though.
I'm a beginner so I really appreciate having an option because I'm not ready to do heels and gussets yet. And seamed socks do not bother me. Since I need heavy winter socks, I'd sewn some from fleece in the past and wore them out.
Some thoughts. . .
First of all, when people say "sock yarn", they generally mean a yarn that will give between 7 - 9 sts per inch, or 28 - 36 sts per 4". The label will tell you what the expected gauge is. To get an idea, go to www.yarnmarket.com, and in the big box, look for "yarn type" and in that section, click on "sock". On that page, click on any of the yarns listed and look at "product information". They will tell you the gauge. You will need small needles for that type of yarn, anywhere from US size 0 - 3.
For heavy winter socks, though, you will probably want to use something such as Lionbrand's Wool-ease: http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/yarnInfo.cgi?yarnPage=1419766
As for flat/2-needle socks. Yes, there are patterns out there. Try looking here: http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory.php . But you may want to consider dpns, that is, double pointed needles, and working in the round. Getting a set in metal from a company such as Susan Bates will not be very expensive. You can get a set of 5 of each size of 000, 00, 0 and 1, all in one package for less than $8: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat2867&PRODID=prd31811&source=search . Or separate sets of size 1, 2 and 3, for less than $3 each here: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat2867&PRODID=prd27710&source=search .
Now, for the no gussets/no heel bit-- remember, if you can cast on, cast off, knit and purl and make increases and decreases, you can make anything-- all knitting is just a combination of those technics. So you might be more ready than you think. But if not, here is a pattern. I have never tried it, so I don't know how successful it will be, or how comfortable (there's a reason for those heels and gussets!). Also, you may need to cast on more or fewer sts depending on the size of your legs and width of your feet. So I would consider the first one to be a total experiment. But for what it's worth--
Using worsted weight yarn and US size 7 needles, cast on 48 sts. Work in a K2, P2 rib until piece measures about 20". Cut yarn, leaving a good couple of yards in length. Draw the yarn through the sts, tightly, and make a knot to secure it, but don't cut the yarn. Use the tail to sew up the seam. Make 2.
