This stuff is great! I love that it is enteric-coated, I could definitely feel the oregano doing it's job in my intestines, instead of being all digested in the stomach. I am taking it for candida, and it seems to be doing well. I take 2 pills 3x day, and will probably rotate with another anti-fungal in 2-3 weeks.
I recently read an article (not an advertisement) regarding the use of oregano oil to decrease inflamation of arthritis and decided to give it a try. The order process was easy and the price and shipping charges were reasonable. I have been using the oregano oil softgels for only three weeks, but I can tell a difference in the ability to use my fingers. With extended use I feel I will experience even more relief from pain. Sincerely, Dee from California
Awesome antibiotic stuff

It helps clean the whole body. I can't specifically mention anything but if I feel catching a cold or any other sickness, this helps to reduce the effects of it. You can't take this regularly 'cause it is very effective. I tried once before hitting the gym and I felt my body were falling apart piece by piece. All I could say is that, this is whole internal organ cleanser.
Very strong!

RVSM Compliance Manuals Writers
RVSM Solutions, LLC has been in the business of writing quality aviation compliance manuals for over ten years. Our RVSM specialists have over 40 years of combined experience from diverse aviation backgrounds.
RVSM Solutions, LLC has been successful in developing a Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) Program that has satisfied the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and many other additional regulatory agencies around the world. We can specifically tailor your RVSM Operations and Maintenance procedures to fit the operation, aircraft type and equipment capabilities. Our experienced staff will do what it takes to help the operator get their RVSM LOA from the Flight Standards District Office in a timely manner. We will work hard for the operator and we guarantee that they will receive their approval.
We can ship the RVSM Program to your organization within three to five working days of receiving your completed worksheet and other required information.
Guided by relentless focus on our attention to detail, our mission is to constantly strive to implement the critical initiative required to achieve our vision of excellence. In doing this, we will deliver operational superiority in every aspect of our company and meet or exceed our commitments to the many clients that we serve world wide.

Must an aircraft be equipped with TCAS in order to operate in RVSM airspace?
No. The regulations that provide TCAS equipage requirements do not relate TCAS equipage to RVSM; however, If an aircraft operating in RVSM Airspace is equipped with TCAS II it must meet TSO C-119b (Version 7.0) or later version unless otherwise authorized.
Is a validation flight the same thing as a Height Monitoring Flight?
No. A validation Flight is a flight that is observed and inspected by FAA inspectors prior to determining what operational approvals will be granted.
Are Validation flights required for RVSM Approval?
In most cases, No. The review of the RVSM Data Package and related supplemental material should be sufficient in determining the eligibility of the aircraft; however, the inspector may choose to accompany the Operator on a flight. Typically, this can be done on a routine flight.
Do I need to renew my LOA?
After 24 months, LOAs issued prior to February 6, 2006 are invalid and may require a new approval application submitted to the FAA. LOAs issued after February 6, 2006 are not required to be renewed every 24 months.
What is the FAA Inspector guidance on Letters of Authorization (LOA)?
FAA Notice 8700.35 titled "Operator and Airframe Authorization for Flight in Special Areas of Operations (SAO)" dated (1/13/05). This guidance supersedes FAA Notice 8700.23.
If I have Part 135 Operations Specifications (OpsSpecs) granting me RVSM authority, am I required to also have an LOA when I conduct Part 91 Operations?
No, providing that the aircraft is operated under the conditions and areas of operations listed in the OpsSpecs and the aircraft is operated under the operator name listed in the OpsSpecs.

SIKESTON -- The latest vision for Sikeston's future is one of leaders working together.
The focus for the Vision for Tomorrow's quarterly meeting Tuesday was the Sikeston VISION Executive Academy, according to Geoff Posegate, chairman of the Strategic Plan Implementation Commission.
Rick Lovall, a committee member for the Executive Academy, said they are hoping to kick off the year-long course in April.
"It may be the first part of May but we are pushing hard," Lovall said. "We are shooting for the second Friday of each month."
The schedule may vary depending on the availability of speakers, he said.
"This is a conscious effort to get everyone in Sikeston pulling on the same rope moving Sikeston in a positive direction," Lovall said.
"What it's designed to do is gather existing and emerging leaders to learn 21st century leadership skills for communities to talk about Sikeston's future and envision positively about the future and collaborate together to make that future come about," Posegate said. "We plan to do this yearly with a class of 30 each year."
"The idea is to have a top-down executive leadership program," said Steve McPheeters, Executive Academy committee member.
McPheeters said Sikeston already has groups that provide the community with leadership, such as the Jaycees and civic groups, as well as those who serve on various boards and commissions.
The Executive Academy's committee, which also includes Brian Self, Rick Lovall and Megan Looney, is working to bring those leaders together as a group "to talk about ways to improve the community," he said. "We are trying to get these community leaders all on the same page to work toward solutions to issues identified in the VISION report together instead of working totally separate from each other."
"Our hope is in the first class to get a real cross section of people from the business community, civic leadership, not-for-profits, faith communities, education -- every component we can think of," Posegate said. "I'm also in the first group so I'm personally interested in it."
The name for this leadership training program was selected so as not to be confused with the Leadership Sikeston Program offered by Missy Marshall, executive director, at the Sikeston Area Chamber of Commerce.
"It complements it, really," Posegate said. "What she's done has really helped people who are new to the community, younger leaders, learn the community and learn their place in it. It builds a good foundation. What we hope to do is build on that foundation by inviting a broader cross section of community leadership for some real forward-visioning, planning and working for Sikeston's future."

Glowing City
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Abdullah Al Harthy
It was the fireworks champion ship in my city Muscat that I took this pictures after searching so hard for a place to be positioned. I stood on top of a mountain to capture this image of the city glowing so bright under the lights of the fireworks and the decorated streets. I released the shutter at the right moment to capture all the layers and colors of the grand finale of day. Truly a great moment to be framed for the joy of eyes forever.

UCSD, USD Researchers: Antarctic icebergs affect carbon cycle
City News Service
Icebergs that break off from Antarctica cool and dilute the water they pass through with impacts that last longer than expected, scientists from UC San Diego and the University of San Diego announced Monday.
The effect of icebergs on water last for up to 10 days, affecting carbon-absorbing phytoplankton and the carbon cycle, the researchers report in the March issue of
Nature Geoscience
"Iceberg transport and melting have a prominent role in the distribution of phytoplankton in the Weddell Sea," said paper lead author John J. Helly, who holds joint appointments at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD.
Co-author Ronald Kaufmann, an associate professor of marine science and environmental studies at the University of San Diego, noted, "The results demonstrate that icebergs influence oceanic surface waters and mixing to greater depths than previously realized."
The research team examined data from in the Weddell Sea, east of the Antarctic Peninsula and south of the Atlantic Ocean, surveying the area around icebergs more than 20 miles in length and checking the same place again 10 days later.
The second check revealed increased concentrations of chlorophyll and reduced concentrations of carbon dioxide compared to nearby areas without icebergs.
The results showed a connection between floating icebergs and changes in the carbon cycle of the Southern Ocean, according to the researchers.

Species Profiles
Twelve invasive species
Northern Snakehead Fish
Image credit: Susan Trammell, Bugwood.org
- What is it? A voracious predator, up to four feet long with sharp teeth and the ability to breath air as well as use gills.
- Where's it from? Northern China and eastern Russia
- How did it get here? Sold as live fish food at some markets, even in states where it is illegal to sell.
- Where is it now? It is now found in the Potomac River and many of its tributaries.
- What's the harm? Snakeheads have the potential to drastically alter freshwater ecosystems by out-competing native fish species, including many sport fish. It may also introduce yet another non-native species, a fungal disease that can harm native fish and stock in fish farms.
- What's being done? Continued monitoring of the population.

SIKESTON -- After the Scott County Central Braves came back from Columbia with a third place finish in the 2008 MSHSAA Show-Me Showdown last week, there were many who didn't know for sure if the head coach for the Braves would be back on the sidelines for next season or not.
The Scott County Central Board of Education and head coach Ronnie Cookson both came to the decision on Tuesday, that for at least one more year, the Braves will have the leadership of the Hall of Fame coach once again.
"I'm just going stay around for one more," Braves head coach Ronnie Cookson said. "The biggest thing about coming back was working with the kids. I enjoy coaching and being around the boys. It's just a part of me."
Cookson has been with Scott County Central for 27 years as the head coach of the boys program. The Braves have won a record 12 state championships with Cookson at the helm and while doing so, he compiled a career record of 689 wins and 140 losses all with Scott Central.
"It's something that I've done my whole life and I just enjoy being around them," Cookson said. "We have a lot of fun and I hope the kids enjoy it just as much as I do."
Most of the players that will be on the court for him now, is in some way related to the players Cookson started out with on the teams that won him his many titles during the 1980s and 1990s.
"It means a great deal to the school and the community that he's here," Scott Central Superintendent Dr. Joel B. Holland said. "There is a common influence with him and the school and there is a lot of parents and players from the past and present that love Coach. He just brings a lot of stability to the school."
Cookson was also hired to teach on a half-time basis and will continue to be the school's athletic director.
"We just wanted to get through this season first," Holland said. "When the season was over, we left him alone to think about it and he came to the decision that he wanted to come back. He really enjoys the kids and wanted to come back for them."
Cookson said that the 14th final four appearance that he and his Braves made last week was not in any way an influence on his decision to come back. But, the relationships he built with his players just like so many other players in the past was.
"If we win one game or 200 games it doesn't matter," Cookson said. "The trip to Columbia was great for the kids and it always has been and it always will be about the kids. I just enjoy seeing them play."
The Scott Central School District is also looking to employ an assistant coach that could possibly take over the head coaching position, once Cookson decides to step down.

We are vulnerable to fear only when we leave the present. If I drift into the past, my regrets surge up, my memories of failing and forsaking. If I shift into the future, I meet with doubt and delusion, fear of what's to come, what I'm not capable of controlling. It's in the present moment that I belong.

Drivers for Public Service Innovation
- Keywords/Tags:
Process and Drivers for Public Service Innovation
In this second blog on Australia & Queensland Public Service Innovation we are looking at what current papers say about the process and drivers for innovation. As we look at different sources we find a common view that says public service innovation is said to occur in five major stages:
- Idea generation and discovery
- Idea selection
- Idea implementation
- Sustaining ideas
- Idea diffusion
This model is continuous and cyclical – the public service innovation life cycle returns to idea generation after ideas are diffused throughout the organisation. Individuals begin by generating and exploring for new ideas, brainstorming in teams, and applying Deliberate Creative Thinking or Lateral Thinking to come up with different ideas. From these new ideas we can then choose the best ideas and place these ideas into action. We need to sustain these ideas for a sufficient period of time in order to see results. Following that, we may choose to share and disseminate these ideas to others.
Does innovation occur spontaneously or only with deliberate intent? Some studies on public service innovation show that innovation can occur by itself with no deliberate intent when the organisation is met with a particular challenge, giving rise to what is termed as problem driven innovation. In this way, what we may perceive to be problems as individuals may actually be opportunities for creativity and innovation in disguise.
Alternatively, public service innovation can come about through a concerted effort from senior management, or through the encouragement of a general culture of public service innovation, or through other environmental drivers such as technology, or external bodies that exert push factors or influence the organisation. The individual aspiring to innovate can make a commitment to thinking creatively, and use new methods in order to reach new targets.
Resource constraints have been observed as both a driver and impediment to public service innovation. While we will take a closer look at barriers to innovation in our next article, it is useful to note at this stage that resource constraints can actually be a positive thing, triggering a motivational force within us to utilise creativity and innovative capacity. An individual, like the public service, has finite resources for which they can direct to any goal. This, of course, includes time as a resource.
By thinking creatively, we can discover more efficient and more creative ways of using the resources we do have in our possession. By understanding the different stages involved in public service innovation, as well as the common drivers, we can learn to apply the principles in our own lives. We don't have to wait for a specific challenge to come to us; we can begin today through making a deliberate commitment to innovate, and to think creatively about how to improve different aspects of our lives.
In the next blog article, we will examine common barriers to innovation and how to overcome these barriers.

Cutting the Commute with Citizen Space
Posted on 14. May, 2010 by reneechu in blog, Coworking
Alex Shepard, Shawn Shah, Sean O'Shea and Kim Gustafson had been commuting for two hours every day from San Francisco to Mountain View to work at Eye-Fi, a 30-person startup that creates wireless-enabled cards for digital cameras. The long commute can be a drag, but when Eye-Fi discovered Citizen Space, the company found a flexible and affordable way to for its employees to occasionally work from the city.
Eye-Fi at Work. Left to right, Alex Shepard, Kim Gustafson, and Sean O'Shea. By Jason Whalen at Agency Charlie.
At first, the guys worked from local coffee shops once a week. Some coffee shops, however, lacked outlets, and they couldn't talk without disturbing other customers. "Plus," Alex adds, "at the end of the day you're totally upset becauase you've been drinking coffee all day." They wanted to go somewhere where the group of them could feel free to collaborate.
After researching coworking options, they found Citizen Space. Eye-fi worked out a flexible membership arrangement, coworking as a group of four or five once a week. Now on Wednesdays, you can find the smart and focused team working from our communal table.
Besides reducing the long commute, Eye-Fi has found surprising benefits from being part of the Citizen Space network. It's a casual space and by literally sitting around a table together they collaborate in ways a traditional office doesn't always encourage.
For example, as a result of meeting the Eye-Fi guys at Citizen Space and learning how their product works, one visitor, Patrick Buckley, created EventPod. His service collects the pictures taken by wedding guests to a central account (using Eye-Fi cards). Patrick has been a great friend of the company, buying many of their units and visiting them in Mountain View to deliver feedback.
We at Citizen Space are thrilled to have the Eye-Fi's as part of our community. If you're an employer or commuter looking to reduce the time spent on a train and work in a supportive, casual environment, we're happy to discuss a flexible membership.

This lovely Kateri Tekakwitha Framed Print features the saint with a contemporary styling that has become a popular and loved way of depicting Native Americans in art. A lovely brown wood frame with gold trim complements the artistry beautifully. Kateri Tekakwitha is a newly canonized saint in the Catholic Church, and the very first Native American saint. St. Kateri was the daughter of a Mohawk chief father and a Catholic mother. She was orphaned as a young child and was drawn to the things of God at an early age. She was providentially led to the Jesuit missionaries in the area where she was converted and baptised. She lived from 1656-1680. She endured debilitating illnesses with grace and was known for her life of virtue and prayer.
|Rebecca K (May 15, 2014)
|The print itself is lovely; the frame seems likely to fall apart within a few years. I think the value is closer to $30 at the most. The frame is very light. There is no glass/protection over the painting (just fyi). I would have given 5 stars if the packaging had not been done so poorly! It was protected well, in terms of shipping, but the corner protectors (made of cardboard) were STAPLED INTO the back of the frame. Then there is tape over the back as if that is holding the pic in the frame.

QRA: First Licensed as a 10th grader, thanks to CW Elmers W8BXA / K8JLK, in Nov of 1962 - WN8FZU. I mowed lawns with a real-type push-mower to earn the $25 for an olde tired BC-348R. Then, disassembled a collection of junked TV's, for parts to build a 30 watt CW rig. My Elmer gifted me a xtal for 3709Khz and the neighbors let me droop my dipole between their trees (city lot only 40 ft wide). I couldn't afford coax, so it was fed with strung together zip-cords and an olde pancake flat-coil tuner - repurposed from a scrap 30's barn-top radio. Novice for a year, then technician. Finally got my code speed up to 13wpm in early 1965 for the General. I went Advanced as soon as it was available, and finally the Extra in 1971. Ah, Good memories; as well as the great pleasure in since meeting so many other Amateurs in this world-wide great fraternal group. Best of73's, and thanks for looking - Ron

The reason I leave such a terrible review is because she is a terrible doctor. Everytime I have visited dr Jacob-fox I wait over an hour in her waiting room and at least 30-45 minutes in the patient room. I beloved she has too many patients scheduled and gets too behind to ever be on time to see her scheduled patients. For a sick visit I have to wait at least 2 days before I can get a visit. And to top I of when I finally see her the visit is awful! She has poor bedside manner. Very disengaged, show little to no care for the patient. It seems all she cares about is telling you that your self evaluation of your symptoms are wrong. Her diagnosis are not followed through with adequette tests/analysis. She simply seems to uninterested in helping you feel better and more interested on getting through the day. I have had to get second opinions on ALL her diagnosis and every single one of them the second opinion would completely contradict her diagnosis. I work as an office administrator at a pediatric office and the doctorsi work for are exeptional, demonstrating what health care should look like, so I am not simply ranting about a few terrible experiences with Dr. Jacob-Fox but am truly concerned that physicians like her are treating patients who need certain treatment and all patients who deserve quality care.

What does scaramouche mean?
Ever wondered what Freddie Mercury and Queen were singing about in Bohemian Rhapsody when you hear 'Scaramouche, Scaramouche. Will you do the fandango?'
I thought exactly that when I saw AbeBooks had recently sold a 1921 first edition of Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini for $3,000/£2,250. What does Scaramouche mean? Or rather, who was Scaramouche?
Scaramouche is a clown from traditional Italian 'Commedia dell'arte' theatre where characters usually appear in masks. Scaramouche often wears black and 'Scaramuccia' translates into English as skirmisher. He's a bit of a rogue and a buffoon.
The Scaramouche character was popularised in the 17th century and Regency era actor Joseph Grimaldi and his son J. S. Grimaldi both went onto play Scaramouche numerous times. Scaramouche also appears in Punch and Judy puppet shows.
Sabatini's book, a popular adventure novel in its day, is a swashbuckler set in the French Revolution featuring plenty of sword fights. Just look at the dashing dust jacket illustration by Harold Cue. The hero of the novel, a fugitive, takes shelter in a theatre troupe playing Scaramouche.
There were two adaptions of this movie, a 1923 adaptation starring Ramón Novarro, Lloyd Ingraham, and Alice Terry, and another in 1952 starring Stewart Granger, Eleanor Parker, Janet Leigh, and Mel Ferrer.
Sabatini went on to publish a sequel to Scaramouche in 1931, called Scaramouche the Kingmaker. He wrote more than 30 novels and his other bestsellers included two notable pirate stories, The Sea Hawk from 1915 and Captain Blood from 1922.

Livermore winemaker Chris Sorensen has family in the wine industry, but it's not quite what you think.
Sorensen's mom, grandfather, cousin and, up until a few years ago, his fiancee, Courtney Garcia, all work in various capacities at Occasio, John Kinney's award-winning winery where Sorensen, 31, is associate winemaker. If you've been there, you know it's a small space for that much family, no matter how well you get along.
"It's great having the family support," Sorensen insists, "but I mostly work weekdays, and they mostly work weekends."
The family support must come in extra handy now that Sorensen pulls double duty with his own label, Caddis. He and Garcia opened the winery in December in the same Cedar Mountain Road garage where Larry Dino started Cuda Ridge.
Caddis is named for a fishing lure, which resembles the mothlike flies whose presence indicates that the water in a lake or river is clean, Sorensen explains on a recent, breezy Tuesday while seated behind the winery's makeshift tasting bar -- a plank of wood laid across barrels. They chose the name because of Sorensen's love of fly fishing but also because every winery label needs "a thing."
Sorensen and Garcia will be married this June (in her parents' quarter-acre Sonoma vineyard) and they wanted to start and grow something together. Caddis is their garagiste baby, and the vessel for Sorensen's top-shelf wines made almost exclusively from Livermore fruit. Garcia, a graphic designer and event manager for Stony Ridge and Crooked Vine, designed the elegant label, with a fishing line that loops around twice before landing on the S in what looks like a whimsical, chubby heart.
It matches the whimsy of the winery, which sits on a residential property surrounded by the Crane Ridge Vineyard, where Sorensen sources his merlot. The fanciest piece of equipment is an old-time wine press he bought on Craigslist for $200 -- "It works great, a little slow, but great." It's the shop's centerpiece. Behind that, 10 inky barrels age his zinfandel, syrah, cabernet sauvignon and tempranillo. Framed local, state and federal permits are waiting to be hung. The space is too small for a forklift, so Sorenson uses a barrel jack to move barrels.
The garage, he says, "works for now, but I don't think I can make more than 500 cases in here."
Production is currently 300 cases, and Sorensen says he'd never want the label to exceed 2,000. His winemaking philosophy is simple: "I want to make bold, fruit-forward reds," he says. He likes new oak, and believes a wine barrel's life is three years -- "four, tops." He doesn't see the point in neutral oak. "I would rather pull the wine from a neutral barrel and let it age in the bottle."
Sorensen is making his debut with three wines, priced at $26 to $42. Tropical white wine lovers will go for the 2011 Chardonnay, which gets its bright acidity and lemon-lime flavors from 7 percent sauvignon blanc. The 2010 "Better Together" Blend is a 50-50 of syrah and cabernet sauvignon and has rich aromas of black cherries, licorice and leather; and the 2010 Syrah, which scored a gold medal in the recent San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, is bold and peppery with a velvet texture on the palate.
But the real stand out is the 2011 Tempranillo, which will celebrate its release at the winery on Feb. 15 and 16. It scored a double-gold medal at the competition and has a lush, silky mouth feel and a finish that goes on and on. He also made a tiny amount of zinfandel from his soon-to-be in-laws' home vineyard. He plans to release it in August, but he'll open a few bottles in June for the wedding.
"We wanted to drink wine that came from the vineyard where we were getting married," he says -- wine from his other family in the wine industry.

Lab Support Protocol
The College has an extremely small IT support staff responsible for a very large number of people. Because of this, we must ration the amount of support time available over all of our computer labs. In order to provide support for our computer labs in the most efficient manner, we ask that our departments with computer labs follow this protocol:
First Tier Support - Host Department
We expect the host department to provide first tier support to the faculty and students using the lab. We define first tier support as the following:
- Resolving login and password issues.
- Answering questions regarding usage of software provided in the lab.
- Answering web browser or email related questions.
- Assisting students in completing class assignments as given by faculty using the lab.
- Managing and scheduling lab monitoring staff, if any.
- Physically securing the lab and all its contents from theft, vandalism, etc.
- Escalating unresolvable issues to A&S Computing Services for resolution including detailed information such as the particular machine, person involved, steps to replicate the problem, etc.
Second & Third Tier Support - A&S Computing Services
A&S Computing Services will provide second and third tier support to all departmental computer labs covered by this program. We define second tier support as the following:
- Resolves problems not resolved by first tier support
- Coordinates lab replacement scheduling, testing and procurement
- Provides first tier training on basic lab functionality.
Third tier as:
- Selection, purchase and initial configuration of lab computers.
- Coordination between host department faculty, Microcomputer Services, other University service providers (e.g., Network Services, Physical Plant, etc.) and third party vendors.

The Northern Neck of Virginia, a rural area which has been settled since the 1600's, is rich in historic and recreational resources. Although not far from major metropolitan areas, it has remained relatively unscathed by over development, retaining its leisurely rural character. Westmoreland County holds birthplaces of President George Washington, President James Monroe, General Robert E. Lee, and of two signers of the Declaration of Independence, Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee. The area was explored by the earliest settlers to this country, including Captain John Smith, an early Jamestowne citizen. Learn more through A Brief History of Jamestown from APVA.
The Westmoreland waterfront stretches for miles along the historic Potomac River, which forms a boundary between Virginia and Maryland. Situated on the waterfront is the Lee Family home, a fully restored colonial treasure: Stratford Hall Plantation was home to Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, signers of the Declaration of Independence, and to Robert E. Lee, Confederate general.
Also on the Potomac is the birthplace of George Washington at Wakefield, where the National Park Service offers tours of a typical colonial home. The foundation of his boyhood home is evident nearby. Enjoy two online movies (best with cable or satellite connections) from "Archiving Early America:" "The Real Face of George Washington," and "The Life of George Washington," an online movie in 3 parts. Also learn about "Declaring Independence," in which the Lee brothers were participants.
Westmoreland County, which celebrates its 350th anniversary as a county in 2003, is also the birthplace of the 5th US President, James Monroe. A commemorative marker has been placed at the Monroe Birthplace site adjacent to Highway 205 at Monroe Hall, and plans are underway for a visitor center there. His lasting legacy includes the Monroe Doctrine.
This part of Virginia not only was home to the earliest English settlers, but was also the first area to which many later immigrants came before beginning their Westward trek. To view the progression of exploration in the area, view a series of maps from the University of Georgia's Rare Map Collection dated 1607, 1715, and 1755, respectively.
Captain John Smith's Map of Virginia is an interesting and surprisingly accurate graphic recording of his early exploits in the Colony of Virginia.
Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail: Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Water Trails from the National Park Service/US Department of the Interior outlines Smith's two voyages, plus others, and provides locations of interpretive buoys and land-based gateways. The map is in pdf format so you can enlarge it as much as you need.
For an updated view, visit (1) Where is the Northern Neck? on this site, and (2)the spectacular view from the Space Shuttle Columbia taken in October 1993.
For ancient geologic history of the area, visit the USGS's Chesapeake Bay Bolide: Modern Consequences of an Ancient Cataclysm, to learn why this area may be star-struck, literally. And venture out into the Bay to visit the Smith Island Page!
Ancestral heritage societies take on new meaning when the members of local groups can easily trace their ancestry here back to colonial times, some to the original Jamestowne settlement. Read more in the APVA "Brief History of Jamestown." Or visit Virtual Jamestown! Get in the spirit of those earliest days by reading the Instructions for the Virginia Colony 1606.
Look in the National Register of Historic Places sites for sites in the Northern Neck counties (Westmoreland, Richmond, Lancaster, Northumberland) or for historic sites where you live! On this site, be sure to view the Leedstown Resolves, or Westmoreland Resolves, an historic document executed by prominent Westmorelanders in February 1766 in response to the Stamp Act.
Revisit the daily lives of the fishermen of the area with a visit to the Reedville Fishermen's Museum in Northumberland County. Whether it's the current exhibit or the treasured mementos always there of days gone by in the lives of those who harvest the sea, you'll find something worth the trip!
Learn more about the contributions of African-Americans to the life of the Chesapeake Bay through Maryland Department of Natural Resources' "Blacks of the Chesapeake," which includes a 32-page "Curriculum Guide to Chesapeake Bay Through Ebony Eyes," as well as sections on Chesapeake Underground, 60 Years on the Bay with Earl White, and more.
Enjoy looking at the 1959 Yearbook, "Traveler," from Cople School in Westmoreland County. Digitally enhanced photos from all the pages of the yearbook have been made into a special section on this site, where you can view thumbnails, and click through to full-size photographs. At that time, Cople hosted grades one through twelve. Now Cople School is an elementary school located not far from the original Cople. The high school at Cople was abolished when Westmoreland County's school system was consolidated in 1960.
Portions of the Potomac River shoreline have been preserved for the public's enjoyment at Westmoreland State Park. Learn more about the all-important river navigation aids at at the National Maritime Initiative Inventory of Historic Light Stations (Maryland and Virginia).
The Lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay are featured on the Chesapeake Chapter, U.S. Lighthouse Society web site. Check Barbara Peck's and Tim Self's Lighthouses Page on Rootsweb to see a photo of the old Ragged Point Lighthouse (also here) just off Coles Point, as well as other lighthouses around the world. (The August 20,1933 photo shows my dad, Edward Godman, and Wes Lewis waving from the lighthouse). See the Piney Point Lighthouse Museum and the St. Clement's Island Potomac River Museum, both located directly across the Potomac from Westmoreland County.
One of the Bay area's favorite inhabitants is the Blue Crab, whose life and times are chronicled at Steve Zinski's Blue Crab Archives site.

Families with early connections along Lower Machodoc Creek and the Potomac can retell tales of Yankees on the shore there. Read Ehistory's Official Records of the Civil War: (1) Expedition to Popes Creek June 1864; (2) Point Lookout - Machodoc - Yeocomico, June 1864; (3) Machodoc Creek, April 1864; (4) Expedition into Westmoreland County March 1865; (5) Expedition into Lower Machodoc Creek April 1864 - Page 1; Page 2; (6)Machodoc-Yeocomico March 1863; (7) Expedition from Belle Plain into Westmoreland County March 1863, Page 1; Page 2; (8) Westmoreland Courthouse - Hague - Potomac February 1863, Page 1; Page 2.
Just across the St. Mary's peninsula directly across the Potomac lies the Patuxent River, which was also settled very early. There are references in Living and Dying on the 17th Century Patuxent Frontier to the Clifts Plantation, and the documentation of 17th century graves and life on the Patuxent is a mirror of what occurred on the Potomac and in other areas of the Chesapeake.
Persons searching for family history often conclude their journey by visiting the records still found today in the Clerk's Offices of the Circuit Courts in these old colonial counties.
Family history buffs will be glad to know that local historical societies and museums in the Northern Neck include the Northern Neck Historical Society (whose library resides in the Westmoreland Museum, Montross), the Northumberland Historical Society in Heathsville, VA, the Mary Ball Museum and Library in Lancaster County, VA and the Richmond County Museum in Warsaw, VA.
Although the Northern Neck is the ultimate "rivah" to which many Virginians (and others) migrate on weekends, full-time residents still cherish the peaceful weekdays when the loudest noise is the migrating flock of Canada geese overhead, and the loudest group of tourists is a field of indescribably beautiful swans discussing the next leg of their journey. If you come to visit, as it is said, take only memories and leave only footprints. See Travel Advisory Page.

text: Hi, This is a patch set to fix deadlock on suspending of mirror device. ISSUE ===== Suspend procedure on a dm-mirror device could cause deadlock on recovery_count semaphore. When mirror_presuspend is called, recovery_count semaphore is acquired in dm_rh_stop_recovery() to stop recovery routine, but when an signal is caught in dm_wait_for_completion() or an error occurred in in dm_suspend(), the suspend process is interrupted without releasing recovery_count semaphore of a mirror device. This means that another suspend is executed, and then the suspend process gets stuck at dm_rh_stop_recovery(). When suspend procedure is interrupted, the device should work properly since the status of the device is not "suspended." SOLUTION ======== Introduce a target handler, cancel_presuspend, to cancel status changes done by a target specific presuspend handler. PATCH SET ========= 1/3: dm: introduce cancel_presuspend framework 2/3: dm-raid1: add cancel_presuspend function 3/3: dm-delay: add cancel_presuspend function I appreciate your comments. Thanks, -- Takahiro Yasui Hitachi Computer Products (America), Inc.

Sen. John McCain, Brett Favre Join Thad Cochran's Re-Election Effort
When Mississippi Senate challenger Chris McDaniel campaigned with tea-party stars like Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum, Sen. Thad Cochran (R., Miss.) answered with an array of local officials.
But now, with five days to go before Mississippi votes in Tuesday's GOP Senate runoff, boldfaced names are finally joining Mr. Cochran's effort. Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) will campaign with Mr. Cochran Sunday on the Gulf Coast, campaign spokesman Jordan Russell said Thursday, and former football star Brett Favre cut a TV ad for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce backing Mr. Cochran.
Mr. McCain will be the first significant politician from outside the state to campaign with Mr. Cochran in Mississippi. Up until now, the six-term senator has campaigned alongside Mississippians like former Sen. Trent Lott, Gov. Phil Bryant and Rep. Gregg Harper (R., Miss.). Mr. McCain's appearance could be significant; the coastal region is home to the state's military shipbuilding facilities and many retired veterans.
Mr. Favre, a native of Kiln, Miss., who played at the University of Southern Mississippi and then for 20 seasons in the National Football League, hasn't been active in politics before. Federal Election Commission records show he has made only one political donation, to then-Rep. Gene Taylor (D., Miss.) in 2009.
Mr. Taylor, who was defeated by Steven Palazzo in 2010, sought his old seat as a Republican this year but lost to Mr. Palazzo in the June 3 primary. Mr. Taylor is campaigning with Mr. Cochran Thursday.
Mr. McDaniel, meanwhile, plans to campaign Thursday with Mr. Santorum and Sunday with former game-show host Chuck Woolery.

Event will display the martial arts
MINER - While negotiations with city officials have delayed a mixed martial art event planned at J.D.'s Saloon, the snag has nothing to do with recent headlines criticizing Toughman competitions after a competitor's death in Sarasota, Fla.
"It's a martial arts contest, from what I understand - it is not the Toughman contest," said Miner Police Chief Roger Moore. "The problem I'm having is only in the security area. It's going to take a lot of man-hours to make sure this gets covered."
Moore's concern is that people in the crowd, under the influence of alcohol, will get worked up: "That it's going to flow on out into the crowd," he explained. "So that's basically what I'm opposed to - the security issue. It's not exactly a Toughman contest."
Additionally, the city code enforcement official is checking on the occupancy limit and how the ring may effect that limit as well as making sure the extra lighting needed for the event will be up to code.
Originally planned for July 25, it now looks like the event will take place no sooner than September.
In the meantime, the show's promoters, Don Davis Sr. and Don Davis Jr. of Sikeston, are trying to educate people on what the event is and isn't.
"It's not the barbaric cockfight that everybody thinks it is," said Davis Jr. "It's safer than boxing - we've never had major injury in the United States."
Davis Jr. said he has been competing in these types of events all over the United States for the last three years. "I was on the first show that was legal in Missouri, last December," he said. "In Missouri it's legal for amateurs only. They're working to get the professional fights legal."
The amateur fights proposed for this event will feature "well-trained fighters - this is what these guys do," according to Davis Jr. "My problem with the Toughman competition is most of the time it's a bar setting where they get people out of the crowd to compete - drunk, out of shape. It's just a set up for a bad situation."
What he and his father are promoting is "a very technical sport," Davis Jr. said, sanctioned by the International Sport Combat Federation, a sister organization of the International Kickboxing Federation. "ISCF is the only sanctioning body outside Nevada and New Jersey for mixed martial arts."
The competitors being lined up for this event are relatively new up-and-comers in the sport. "We're looking to have between 8 and 12 bouts on a card," said Davis Jr. The Davises are also working with promoters out of Columbia, St. Louis and Kansas City, "trying to get together a Missouri State Championship," Davis Jr. said.
Davis Sr., who owns and operates the Maxout Gym and has held a professional wrestling license since 1969, has competed in this type of event occasionally as well.
He described the event as a combination of boxing, kickboxing and wrestling, with rules for safety.
"It's all the disciplines: karate, grappling, jujitsu - its a mixture of everything," Davis Sr. said, including "catch wrestling" in which holds actually have pressure instead of being faked like modern professional wrestling.
Matches take place in a ring with a springy floor similar to professional wrestling rings. At this level, bouts consist of three two-minute rounds.
"You can't knee an opponent who is down; no strikes to back of the head or neck area - in fact there no spinal strikes at all," Davis Sr. said. "You are allowed to kick just like in martial arts, are allowed to strike, but no blows beneath the belt, like boxing."
Like boxing and other contact sports, "there's bruises and bloody noses," Davis Sr. said, but he vouched for the sport's safety record.
"Basketball's the only sport I've ever been injured in," he said. "There has never, ever been a death in this sort of martial art competition. It's not a street fight - the guys that participate in this are trained athletes; they know what they're doing."
Davis Sr. said the referees and physicians at these fights are keenly aware of safety issues. "I've been to a bunch of these, they take care of the people," he said. "The referee is not going to let a fight go so someone gets seriously hurt."
As for the security issues, Davis Sr. believes it won't be a problem. "It's a different crowd and really a different sort of atmosphere," he said, as the crowd is made up of spectators handing over somewhere around $20 for a ticket. "A guy that's going to pay that kind of money is not going to come in and start a fight."
The Davises have also offered to hire off-duty Miner police officers to assist the establishment's security to ensure order is maintained.

" This is a nice place if you want to experience the traditional Japanese lifestyle. The location is walking distance (10 min) from the JR station. It is a little far from the city center but buses will take you everywhere (bus station almost in front). The owner of the house will make you feel welcome and will help you to figure out the bus lines and how to get to the touristic sites. He rents bikes for cheap. Many stores nearby and I personally recommend the french bakery behind the street. "- Anonym

Good for somethings
By Nice
from Menlo Park, CA
About Me Enthusiast, Parent
I made a baby cardigan and shorts with light pink. Gorgeous color. The yarn is harsh but softens a bit with washing. It knits "holey" so it's good for summer , specially beach ware when you want good ventilation. The gauge is not quite correct and the yarn is thicker than advertised. Having said this the items turned up adorable and have great sheen.

Overall Experience
Worth every penny!
August 25, 2016
With a family of 5 it is hard to find hotels that will accommodate all of us in one room and be budget friendly! We were skeptical at first to book the room because how could we get such a low price for a suite with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room space, and a full kitchen?
Well we were not disappointed in any way! From the moment we called the day we were checking in to tell them we were coming in late to the moment we checked out, we had a perfect hotel for us!
It was like over 100 degrees out everyday of our stay, but the air conditioning worked perfectly and was a pleasure to come back to every night. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable! Each bedroom had it's own bathroom and TV. There was a TV in the living room area as well! The kitchen was perfect and stocked with dishes and pans for cooking. If I had to say something we didn't like about our stay it would be that the faucet water is not cold, but there were water pitchers in the frig that we filled and drank from that instead.
Every morning they offer a hot and cold buffet for breakfast in the main lobby area, Mon-Wed night they offer a hot buffet for dinner and beer and wine, complimentary! Free shuttle service to nearby attractions or the Metro if you want to go into the city.
All in all we had a fantastic stay and will definitely stay again and pass the word on to family and friends!
Great Value
August 24, 2016
The 2-bed, 2-bath suite was perfect for my vacation with the in-laws!
Great place for a group
August 11, 2016
We had 22 people staying in four rooms. The sofa bed was typical, but the other beds were comfortable. It was our second time there, and I would be happy to do it again.
Great Service

"Razor sharp claws tip the ends of each of its eight powerful limbs, four on each side. The teeth are designed for tearing off huge chunks of meat. Its hide is as solid as stone," said a large barrel-chested human in furs.
"That's what the hobgoblins want it for. They want to make armor out of its hide. The hide is stronger than plate mail, and easier to make. This is why this great animal known as the aurumvorax is nearly extinct," the fur trader continued in a deep baritone.
The half-elf sitting across from him wore leather armor and a green cape. He sat thinking for a moment, and then replied.
"I am sworn to protect the forest and all of her creatures," said Jovian Windwalker. "Those hobgoblins must be stopped."
"It's not in elf territory. We have no jurisdiction there," the trader said blankly.
"There's got to be a way to save those animals," said Jovian passionately. He pondered that for a moment, and then a look of purpose came over him. "If we could get our hands on some eggs we could transport the—"
"There's no 'we', Jovian. It would be better for one man to go alone. He'd leave less of a trail for the hobgoblins to track, and would make less noise."
"Here are a few gold pieces for the information. Thank you."
Jovian decided to get some of the creature's eggs and bring them to elf territory. He would go alone. It would be a dangerous quest, but Jovian was a very powerful druid. Actually, he wasn't a full druid yet. He was an initiate of the fifth circle. Perhaps going on this quest would prove him worthy of being a full druid.
Jovian brought a scimitar and a short bow with him to the woods. The going would become treacherous once he entered goblin territory. On the first day he made it to just outside the border and set up camp for the night.
He shot a rabbit then started a fire in a ring of stones. It was around dusk as he began cooking the meat. There was a strange smell all of a sudden. It was the smell of rotting vegetation. He also noticed a large heap of weeds right next to his campsite that he did not see when he first set up camp. The mound of plants began to rise.
Jovian dropped his food and quickly rose to his feet. He backed up a few steps and drew his scimitar as the creature reached out for the rabbit he had been cooking. He recognized this creature as a shambling mound.
Jovian raised his free hand into the air and closed his eyes. The wind began to pick up. It blew toward the shambler. Jovian was using a summoning spell. On the wind came a swarm of leaf eating locusts that attacked and quickly devoured the monster. The insects left as swiftly as they had arrived.
The half-elf lay down to go to sleep despite his hunger. A few hours later he was awoke by flashing red and yellow lights. He could also here giggling. Flying around the campfire were tiny nude men and women. They were sprites.
"Guys, I can't sleep! Do you mind?" shouted Jovian.
"Sleep in the owlbear's belly tonight, will you?" asked a sprite rhetorically.
"Owlbear? What's that?" asked Jovian as he sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Vlindor, great alchemist of the woods, made the beast by accident.
