Brett Michael Kavanaugh (born February 12, 1965) is a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. He was Staff Secretary in the Executive Office of the President of the United States under President George W. Bush.
A protégé of Kenneth Starr, Kavanaugh played a lead role in drafting the Starr report, which urged the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.[1] Kavanaugh also led the investigation into the suicide of Clinton aide Vincent Foster. After the 2000 U.S. Presidential election, in which Kavanaugh worked for the George W. Bush campaign in the Florida recount, Kavanaugh joined Bush's staff, where he led the Administration's effort to identify and confirm conservative judicial nominees.[2]
Kavanaugh himself was nominated to the D.C. Appeals Court by Bush in 2003. His confirmation hearings were contentious and stalled for three years over charges of partisanship. Kavanaugh was ultimately confirmed in May 2006 after a series of negotiations between Democratic and Republican Senators.[3][4][5] According to Jeffrey Toobin, Kavanaugh is a potential future Republican nominee to the Supreme Court.[6] Kavanaugh is not, however, on the list of potential Supreme Court nominees put forward by presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump.[7][8]
Kavanaugh was born on February 12, 1965 in Washington, D.C., and raised in Bethesda, Maryland, the son of Edward and Martha Kavanaugh. He is a Roman Catholic and graduated from the Georgetown Preparatory School before going to Yale College.
He received his B.A. from Yale College and his law degree from Yale Law School, where he served as Notes Editor of the Yale Law Journal. He is married to Ashley Estes, a native of Abilene, Texas, who formerly served as Personal Secretary to the President in the White House at the same time as her future husband. They have two daughters.
Kavanaugh clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, as well as Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit and Judge Walter Stapleton of the Third Circuit. Prior to his Supreme Court clerkship, Kavanaugh earned a one-year fellowship in the Office of the Solicitor General of the United States, Kenneth Starr. The Solicitor General's office represents the United States before the Supreme Court.
Kavanaugh was later a partner at the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis, where his practice focused on appellate matters. Kavanaugh also served as an Associate Counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel, where he handled a number of the novel constitutional and legal issues presented during that investigation and was a principal author of the Starr Report to Congress on the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton and Vincent Foster investigation.[9]
After George W. Bush became president in 2001, Kavanaugh served for two years as Senior Associate Counsel and Associate Counsel to the President. In that capacity, he worked on the numerous constitutional, legal, and ethical issues handled by that office. Starting in 2003, he served as Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary. In that capacity, he was responsible for coordinating all documents to and from the president.
D.C. Circuit nomination and confirmation[edit]
President George W. Bush first nominated Kavanaugh to the D.C. Circuit on July 25, 2003, to a vacancy created by Judge Laurence H. Silberman, who took senior status in November 2000. Kavanaugh's nomination was stalled in the Senate for nearly three years. Democratic Senators criticized him as being too partisan, with Senator Dick Durbin calling him the "Forrest Gump of Republican politics."[10] The Senate Judiciary Committee recommended confirmation on a 10-8 party-line vote on May 11, 2006, and Kavanaugh was thereafter confirmed [11][12] by the U.S. Senate on May 26, 2006 by a vote of 57-36. On June 1, 2006, he was sworn in by Justice Anthony Kennedy, for whom he had previously clerked, during a special Rose Garden ceremony at the White House.[1] Kavanaugh was the fourth judge nominated to the D.C. Circuit by Bush and confirmed by the United States Senate.
Kavanaugh began hearing cases on September 11, 2006 and had his formal investiture on September 27 at the Prettyman Courthouse. His first published opinion was released on November 17, 2006. He authored the opinion of the court for a unanimous three-judge panel in the case of National Fuel Gas Supply Corp. v. FERC.
In July 2007 Democratic Senators Patrick Leahy and Dick Durbin accused Kavanaugh of "misleading" the Senate committee during his nomination stemming from the Bush White House detention policy.[13]

The Nikon D610 DSLR Camera Body Basic Kit from B&H combines the versatile full-frame DSLR camera with a wide range of useful accessories to complement working with the D610. The basic kit includes a 16GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-I memory card, an extra rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, a wireless remote shutter release, an LCD screen protector, a bottle of lens cleaning fluid, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and a shoulder bag to house and protect the camera and kit components.
The D610 features an FX-format 24.3MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED 3 image processor to produce high-resolution, well-detailed still images and full HD video with notable low-light sensitivity to an expandable ISO 25600. Continuous shooting up to 6 fps is supported and a 39-point Multi-CAM 4800 AF system ensures quick and precise focusing abilities. A large 3.2" 921k-dot LCD screen is available for live view monitoring, image review, and menu navigation and dual SD card slots enable overflow recording as well as in-camera image backup and file-type partitioning.
The Nikon D610 DSLR Camera features a full-frame, FX-format 24.3 megapixel CMOS sensor and EXPEED 3 image processor to produce high-resolution still imagery and full HD 1080p video with notable image detail and low-light sensitivity to an expandable ISO 25600. The sensor and processor work together to enable high image quality with a wide dynamic range and high signal-to-noise ratio that produces both smooth color and tonal gradations with low noise levels for enhanced overall clarity. These two technologies also combine to provide a wealth of speed throughout the D610, including a continuous shooting rate of 6 fps and a quiet shooting mode that allows the camera to record sequential imagery without the mirror raising or lowering.
A Multi-CAM 4800 AF sensor is integrated into the camera's design and produces fast autofocus speeds using a 39-point array to precisely acquire focus in a wide array of lighting conditions. Seven of the central AF points are compatible with f/8 or faster lenses, which greatly enhances the autofocus performance with longer, telephoto lenses used in combination with teleconverters. When recording movies or working in live view, a contrast-detection focusing method works to continuously deliver accurate focus with subject-tracking and face-detection capabilities using the full-time servo mode.
Full HD 1080p video is supported up to 30 fps in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format and manual control over the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture is possible for optimized control over the look and feel of movies. Uncompressed recording is possible with an optional external recorder connected via the HDMI port and, additionally, both headphone and microphone ports are available for refined control over recorded sound.
Extending the D610's connectivity, an accessory terminal is compatible with the optional WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter and GP-1A GPS Unit for wireless image sharing, remote camera control, and geotagging capabilities.
The 16GB Extreme UHS-I Speed Class 3 SDHC Memory Card from SanDisk features UHS Speed Class 3 compatibility to allow for both Full HD (1080p) and 4K (3840 x 2160p) video recording. With data read speeds of up to 90 MB/s and write speeds of up to 40 MB/s you can also save and transfer other files such as photos, music, and more quickly and efficiently.
Along with U3 compatibility, this card also features Class 10 and UHS-I standards compatibility and is water, temperature, X-ray, and shock proof allowing you to record virtually anywhere. The writable label and included jewel case make for easy storage and organization, while the downloadable RescuePRO Deluxe data recovery software allows you to recover accidentally deleted images.
The Commando 36 DSLR Shoulder Bag from Ruggard has a water-repellent nylon exterior and holds a DSLR with an attached lens, three additional lenses, a flash and accessories between padded dividers inside the main compartment.
For holding gear, the front of the bag features a zippered flap with a quick-release buckle that opens to reveal a zippered pouch. This front zippered pouch has an interior zippered mesh pocket and an organizer. Behind the pouch, there is a main compartment with a cushioned interior. The outside of the bag has a mesh slip pocket on one side, and a nylon-webbed attachment loop on the other. You can use the attachment loop to secure an optional lens or camera pouch.
The Commando 36 can be carried using the padded grip handle at the top or the removable adjustable shoulder strap, which has a comfort pad. In addition, there is a trolley strap at the back of the bag for attaching the Commando to your suitcase while traveling.
The Watson EN-EL15 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack works with the same cameras as the Nikon EN-EL15 (except for Nikon D500). This replacement battery pack features a capacity of 2000mAh and 7.0V of output power. Small and lightweight, lithium-ion batteries can be charged or discharged at any time without developing memory effect.
Note: Not compatible with Nikon D500
Trigger your camera's shutter wirelessly with the FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release from Vello, a lightweight remote control system that will help you avoid unwanted camera movement. This 2.4 GHz model is compatible with Nikon cameras and will work both wired and wirelessly up to 320', depending on your own needs and setup. This makes it useful for photographing wildlife or for macro and long exposures where it is necessary to eliminate any chance of camera shake.
The FreeWave system also has access to 16 channels for triggering multiple receivers and has an internal antenna that will be protected from any accidental damage. Multiple features are available for shooting, such as a four-second delay as well as multi-exposure and long exposure modes. The device also has a dual function release, enabling focus on half press and triggering the shutter release on a full press. Additionally, it has LED indicators to confirm pre-focus and exposure while in wireless mode and the receiver and transmitter each run on two AAA batteries.
The Vello Glass LCD Screen Protector for Nikon Df, D4s, D7100, D7200, D610 & D810 is a sheet of 0.02" (0.5mm) ultra-thin optical glass used to protect your camera's LCD monitor. The glass features 6 layers of protective material that protect your display screen from dirt, scratches, sweat and oily fingerprints. The glass also blocks UV rays while allowing visible light in. The protector is easy to install and remove.
Note: Environments with excessive heat and humidity will shorten the useful life of the adhesive on the glass.

Don has practiced for more than 25 years as an environmental attorney with particular additional experience handling safety and health matters. He provides advice on regulatory compliance as well as strategic advice on the environmental, safety and health aspects of numerous business and real estate transactions, including hazardous substance or petroleum contamination and indoor air quality.
Don also has litigated government enforcement and private party cases involving all major federal environmental, safety and health statutes, as well as commercial disputes involving environmental issues, and common law toxic torts.
He focuses on the coordination of regulatory actions driven by government agencies with mass tort litigation defense arising from hazardous substance or petroleum contamination. He has practiced before federal and state courts and agencies, and in alternate dispute resolution, throughout the eastern United States.

The common theme of his work in litigation or business transactions is the assessment and avoidance, or minimization and management, of regulatory, commercial and tort risk.

Before law school, he spent three years teaching school, and four years as a caseworker in a juvenile and domestic relations court.

The Houston County Commission will vote Monday to approve a "Class C" bingo permit for the Country Crossing project.
Commission Chairman Mark Culver says there are still several preconditions that must be met before any bingo operation can begin.
The commission agreed to provide the bingo permit prior to construction so that investors and developers would have assurance that the project was in fact going to happen.
The bingo permit can either be issued by the commission or Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes.
The commission will vote on the permit during Monday's meeting.

Its distance from Kathmandu, about seven-and-a-half miles (12 kilometers) east, and the small entrance fee to enter the city tends to keep the crowds away from this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once inside the city, you'll be able to walk the cobbled streets filled with more temples by area than both Kathmandu or Patan. Many of the most interesting structures, including the 55-windowed palace that used to serve as the royal seat of Nepal, are centered on the Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
The city has a rich handicrafts tradition and is a great place to purchase pottery, which you'll see in various stages of completion throughout the town, but particularly in Potters' Square. Also look for painted black clay masks, metalwork, traditional Buddhist paintings and locally grown teas. When you feel hungry, try the yogurt with locally produced honey, a specialty in Bhaktapur.

Lego would have to win obviously! Those ships are the best i have seen, the decoration and the balcony on the galleon is just wow, if i were to create ships i were proud of they would very closely resemble these. Great story to go with it, but just how does la requin sail off with out its main sail so quickly... Oh wait lego's easier to repair than wood, slaps head for forgetting it was made of lego...

I can see a lot of work has been put into this comic and the extra effort has really paid off. The effects like smoke, fire and lens flares really add another dimension to it and I'd commend whoever donated that lens flare plug-in to you X-D
My biggest nitpick would have to be the photography, but only in some shots where the focal point has been placed on the wrong part of the picture. In the below example it should be on the pirate who says "7 vadems, sir!":
As you can see the focal point is set more towards the middle of the ship, but as there is action and dialogue taking place in the left hand side of the shot, that is where the focus should be.

Just kidding with ya!, absolutely amazing. you can really see how much work you put in! The effects, the story, the ships and jokes - it all reads and looks terribly, fantastically something, I don't know if there's a word for it
My only comment would be the post fight interaction between the officers. I've already told you but just to reiterate, after fights they were incredibly friendly towards each other. Even going as far as inviting one another to fight and offering their sables for 'good sportsmanship'. I guess I've always liked that gentlemen thing about the age of sail. I don't like Bundy/Errorist - he's mean X-D
Other than that I support Mister Phes' complaint about the focal point being a tad off, though that's merely a small detail which I hadn't even noticed 'till he brought it up.
What I like most about the fight scene is the overall shot from the mast tops. Brilliant! *y*
I can imagine you're not able to put a naval encounter in every episode (cause that would minimise the effect of such scenes) just to entertain us but I most certainly look forward to the next one!

In addition to the 62 minute feature (in both English and French), this release has a cute short film entitled "Extinction of the Saber-Toothed Housecat" (also rated PG) and "The Many Lives of A Cat" Video Flipbook.
Despite these extras, though, the real star is the main show! The furry critter in the leading role is living a double life. During the day, it's a domestic pet for a troubled young girl reeling from the violent murder of her father. During the night, it prowls the cityscape with a human cat burglar scoring exotic treasures. Harden voices the girl's mother and Huston is a new housekeeper. As Harden, a police inspector, closes in on the criminal ring that was responsible for her husband's death--the two worlds get pulled closer together.Read more ›
"A Cat In Paris"
(Folimage/New Arts, 2010/2012)
A real gem from French animators Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol... This brilliant, stylish, wildly creative thriller has a look and feel unlike anything being produced in the United States these days. Visually the film is gorgeous: the graphic design is odd and angular, with purposeful nods to film noir's camera angles and use of darkness and shadows, along with a color palette that's filled with rich, unusual choices. The delicious graphics are complimented by a slinky spy-jazz score that feels alternately moody and retro.
Thematically, "A Cat In Paris" is practically an anti-Disney kids' movie: it's stylish and unpredictable; there is a dead parent, but it's the kid's dad, not her mother (who, rather than being dead is a strong, no-nonsense police detective... A great female role model, along with the movie's young heroine...) The story is intelligent and brisk, a refreshingly original plot about a clever cat who slips out at night to join a lithe, roguish burglar who likes stealing stuff just for the challenge but has a strong sense of right and wrong when it comes to taking care of little kids. Best of all it presents cats in a favorable light and makes fun of dogs instead. Like I said: the opposite of Disney.
Lots to love here: alt-oriented families who enjoy material that's fun but off the beaten track will definitely want to check this on out! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's media reviews)
I enjoyed the animation. The colors are magnificent and the style of drawing was a refreshing change from the CG animation that is more often used for animated films. I must add that I got so caught up in the story that I didn't try to guess the cast members that were doing the voices, as I usually like to do. The DVD includes a short film called Extinction of the Saber-Toothed Housecat (a very tongue-in-cheek story) and The Many Lives of A Cat Video Flipbook. A Cat in Paris is a charming story, imaginatively drawn and boasts a marvelous jazzy soundtrack. A Cat in Paris is a wonderful film for the family that, I, for one will want to see again for the artistry of the animation and the fun of the story.
Set in Paris, the story centers around a young girl named Zoé (English dub by Lauren Weintraub) who lives with her widowed police commissair mother Jeanne (English dub by Marcia Gay Harden). Zoé's cat likes shadowing a burglar named Nico (English dub by Steven Blum) and when the cat gives Zoé a 'present' in the form of a bracelet, Jeanne realizes that the bracelet might be tied in to the spate of burglaries in the area. Jeanne and her team are on the trail of a notorious criminal named Victor Costa (English dub by JD Blanc) who was also responsible for Jeanne's husband's death.
The story moves on at a fast pace and kept our interest. The plot is engaging, peopled with interesting characters, both benign and sinister, and my daughter could not take her eyes off the screen. She loved Zoé's character as well as Nico, and though she was a little afraid during certain nail-biting parts, she enjoyed the movie immensely.
The feature runs at 62 minutes, in full color, and there are several bonus features:
"The Many Lives of a Cat" Video Flipbook
"Extinction of the Saber-Toothed Housecat" Bonus Short Film
Alternate Original French Audio Track with English Subtitles

Thankfully, the anti-science propaganda campaign surrounding man-made climate change seems to have lost some of its effect.
Are you seeing storm clouds on the horizon? Two recent studies suggest that the latest anti-science campaign is following its forerunners--the propaganda campaigns attempting to refute science that tobacco causes cancer, that CFC's caused the hole in the ozone layer, and so on—into oblivion. Global warming denial seems to have climbed to a peak in 2010, and global warming acceptance is now climbing. This bodes well for rational public policy.

You are so funny Tired. We have asked you and whomever else is on your side of the argument for any proof of your argument. You give none and then want others to provide you with info. You are so intellectually lazy.
At least Greek makes an attempt and I can respect that.
Posted 714 days ago.
"Warming has ceased in the last 15- 17 years."
Be more specific if you can. Do you mean warming has ceased in the atmosphere? In the Oceans?
Is the last 17 years warmer than the 17 years that came before it?
You still haven't defined what you will consider proof in these arguments. Don't you know what you will consider proof?
Posted 714 days ago.
"Show me how to prove a negative"
No one has asked you to prove a negative.
Is this your fallback plan? Keep claiming it's proving the negative so you won't have to do anything?
Posted 714 days ago.
"And this schmuck says he's interested in honest debate?"
He constantly lies.
Lol, it does seem like he has confusion over what proof and truth is.
Posted 714 days ago.
Not one more iota of proof will be given to you unless you backup your own claims.
But that's a tactic you use to hide from any kind of criticism.
Posted 714 days ago.
The fact is if you are right Tiredofit and I am wrong. Then the facts support you not me.
Ergo you have the upperhand in this debate.
I can not fathom why you will not provide those facts that make you right.
Furthermore complaining that proof isn't provided to you while refusing to provide your own proof to back up your own assertions is highly hypocritical.
Posted 714 days ago.
270 pages worth of arguing. The vast majority of which was of me and the others putting info on the table that proves our assertion.
The information you seek as been offered up in spades. You just choose to deny it or ignore it.
So you asking for information and then making out like we have none because we aren't giving it to you is tremendously disingenuous.
But that's par for the course when dealing with you.
Its just one of the many tactics you use to try and shutdown/control this debate.
Posted 714 days ago.
But then yet agains we have another problem.
In the past he has stated that even though there is warming man isn't responsible for it.
But now he is stating that there is no warming.
We know the planet is warming. There just is not denying that.
But these inconsistencies are interesting. And so is his refusal to back up his assertions.
Either he is being contrary. Or he has no facts with which to back up his assertions.
Posted 714 days ago.
His assertion being positive. Meaning they have facts to back them up.
Our assertion being negative. Meaning not the truth therefore lacking in the ability to be proven as true.
Edited for clarity
Posted 714 days ago.
But then it gets even better. You know Tiredofit says that we are wrong and that he is right.
His facts being positive. Meaning they have facts to back them up.
Our facts being negative. Meaning not the truth therefore lacking in the ability to be proven as true.
Now one would assume Tiredofit is interested in "winning" this debate. Furthermore one would assume that since his position is the true one it'd be very easy to prove his position.
All he has to do is prove that he is right.
Which is to show why all the warming can be blamed on natural causes.
But for some reason he won't do that.
Posted 714 days ago.
Aaah man you gotta love it. For months on end we repeatedly laid proof after proof on the table.
Of course Tiredofit it rejected all of it.
Now that we have figured out that he will reject any proof we put on the table. We stop providing it because you know lesson learned.
But now Tiredofit is asking for proof(that we already provided)and making it looks as if we dont have anything to show as proof. Or that we are refusing to show proof.
And this schmuck says he's interested in honest debate?

It is that simple. Odd how you don't understand it. Guess you are less than simple ;)

You kep saying I am making excuses but I have asked many many times for your definition of what you will consider "proof".
When you give that definition, then I am certain it will be provided to you. As long as what you call proof is reasonable.
So Tired...will you please tell us what you would consider proof? Or will you deflect, call people names or deny deny deny anything people will show you?
Posted 715 days ago.
"I KNOW there is no proof in there and so do you."
That would be a lie. There is no proof you will accept is more accurate.

Oh the ego...I make an error in where Europe begins in relationship to Crimea and Tired thinks he is natrually better in general. He wasn't even thinking of Crimea when he made his Europe comment.
I would bet $100 that he didn't even know what the Bosphprus Straits were when I mentioned them earlier.
You are a card Tired. Now let's get back on topic. You can dwell on Crimea back in the other forum.

I have asked you to prove that the current change in global temperature is natural as you have claimed but yet you cower from it.
I believe it's because you know there is something not natural about it but won't admit when you are wrong.

Yeah, I missed the Huorns as well. Somehow I doubt we'll see them in the extended version. Ah well, here's to hoping. :alchaholic:
Elves are supposed to be cooler than that! Think 300 fighters like Legolas (only higher, right?), not 300 combat droids with bows...
Military precision wasn't invented until after the middle ages, anyway, same with uniforms, and though I know that doesn't mean too much, I just don't accept it as an excuse. Do you think you could convince an elf it was worth his time to march in step with the rest of the people he's known for thousands of years? I mean, why would they need to? I guess it looked impressive, but I still think its out of character.
The battle of Helm's Deep was meant to show the power and independence of man. It was meant to show that the Age of Men is near and that Men are able to stand up against amazing odds and not back down, this shows that Men are ready to suceed the next age.
The story was not written in accordance to historical development of the world as we know it. Hence even though military precision came after the middle ages, we have to view it from a separate point of view.
Can we say that the Elves, wisened beyond any person we know in the real world and who have lived for so many years are incapable of exercising a simple concept of discipline???
Theoden: No, my Lord Aragorn, we are alone.
Haldir: I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell. An alliance once existed between elves and men. Long ago we fought and died together. We come to honor that alligence.
I will be posting my answer to this under [u]ROTK spoiler alert![/u] under [u] Return of the King[/u] when I finish reading this thread.I wonder what other surprises brings "The return of the king" movie... Dwarves at Pelennor??...r
Well, I no longer know where this discussion is going, but one Elf was needed at Helms Deep to provide Gimli with a source of companionship and a sparing partner in order to maintain the head count of his victums. The rest of the Elves at PJ's Helm's Deep, while not necessary to the story, provided a sense of awe and even more to me, a deep sense of what the world has missed with their passing. I didn't get that with their journey to the Grey Havens and beyond in PJ's LOTR: Return of the King, but I did get it from those scenes in PJ's LOTR: The Two Towers.One Elf at Helm's Deep is better than ten in Mirkwood. Or should that be the other way around.

Islamabad, Sept. 6 (ANI): A senior leader of the Haqqani network was allegedly killed in a second U.S. drone strike in North Waziristan.
At least six militants were reported to have died in the unmanned missile attack in the residential area of Dargah Mandi, 10 kilometers from Miranshah, North Waziristan's main town, the Express Tribune reports.
The identities of the Haqqani Network leaders and activists killed were not disclosed.
The Haqqani Network is a powerful Taliban faction that operates in eastern, central, and northern Afghanistan, and is reportedly headquartered in North Waziristan.
The terror group has close links with al Qaeda, and is said to be supported by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Directorate, the report added.
This was the second drone strike in a single day on the soil of North Waziristan, the report added.
Earlier, the first drone strike of the day had killed around four people in the area.
Pakistan strongly condemned the U.S. drone strike saying that it was a violation of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. (ANI)

Alabama Republican, Sen. Richard Shelby and Sen. Byron Dorgan, a Democrat from North Dakota, introduced legislation Thursday that would ease the financial burden on military reservists and their families.
The measure would provide some financial relief for military reservists on active duty.
"The legislation that Sen. Dorgan and I introduced today would create a tax credit up to $20,000 that would enable some of the families to recoup some of the money that they've lost when they've gone on active duty," said Sen. Shelby. "I believe that's the least thing we can do to help maintain the families and strengthen America."
Shelby said the United States owes a debt to those who wear the uniform.

1. OLD TOE BRIDGE MISSING - SORRY! But to get the next two - drive up NC80 but don't cross the high bridge; veer off to the left and park. Follow the old road and cross the river.....keep walking to the right...follow the jeep trail....keep going.....
2. END OF THE LINE watch out for trains they can actually sneak up on you here (not joking - mountains do funny things to sound!) Train spike collectors paradise!
Keep walking. Youll know it when you see it. Yup, at the end of the line
3. FRANKIE & JOHNNY (major photo opp)
Part of the Songcatcher Series
Keep driving north on 80. Very winding, very, very pretty. Watch for the silo on your left. Then ½ mile, when vista opens up, catch right turn into church drive on curve, so go gently. PLEASE RESPECT THIS PLACE.
Frankie and Johnny were lovers,
Oh Lordy how they could love!
Swore to be true to each other,
True as the stars above.
He was her man,
But he was doing her wrong.
Frankie Silver was allegedly the first woman hanged in NC, for the murder of her husband, Charlie. Most people thought it was self-defense, but back then, she wasnt allowed to testify on her own behalf. She chopped him up, and tried to burn him in the fireplace. His body parts are buried in three separate graves in this cemetery.
Walk left of the quiet residents and look under the marker midst the stump-rubble.
Oh, and yeah, historians say the song is a Mississippi Delta blues number, but we claim it, and were sticking to it, even if his name wasnt Johnny .
If you feel like just driving around, going farther north from here is a visual treat. You can always ask somebody for directions.....

Chiropractic Saves Lives
Chiropractic SAVES Lives.
"I didn't tell you this, but..."
It's a statement we often hear during the early stages of new patient care at the office.
The patients that say this usually go on to describe some aspect of their health that has improved along WITH the problem that prompted them to begin care in the first place.
Here's an example.
Let's say you know someone with high blood pressure. At first glance, it may seem to be a circulatory problem or some other type of health problem. But hold on. Not so fast!
What you need to realize is this. ANY nerve pressure or interference, no matter how slight that has to do with your spine can and will produce a variety of health problems.
CORRECT the spinal problem (subluxation) and circulatory and other problems IMPROVE almost magically.
Does that make chiropractic a treatment
for high blood pressure?
Of course not.
The intent of our office's chiropractic care is to RESTORE function to your compromised nervous system. When there is a bone misaligned, there is pressure on the soft nerves.
When you remove the interference or pressure on the nerves, you restore function.
Then instead of you having 'side effects' you have the happy results which are what I call 'positive effects throughout your body!
Make sure you checked on a regular basis.

Novell Cuts Losses Thanks to Linux
In its third quarter reports, Novell has announced reduced losses accompanied by turnover growth from US$ 236m to US$ 243m.
Novell's third quarter closes July 31. The net loss for the quarter has dropped to US$ 3.42m which is 48 percent less than in the same period last year (US$ 6.5 m).
Novell's losses in the second quarter of 2007 were totaled US$ 2.2m. Novell generated US$ 22m of turnover with its open platform products, 21 million of which are attributable to Linux products. Linux-related turnover has thus risen by 77 percent compared to the previous year's figures. In comparison to this, identity and access management products generated US$ 27m, an increase of just two percent. The turnover in the system and resource management division was US$ 35m, and up four percent compared to last year. Turnover in workgroup applications dropped by 2 percent to US$ 83m.
Novell anticipates a net turnover of between US$ 924 and 955 for the fiscal year 2007, compared to US$ 967 m in 2006.
Novell's quarterly support slightly exceeds analysts' expectations. Novell's share price rose after the announcement from US$ 6.65 to US$ 6.75 at close of trading.

Kearney started his first match on the tour in Tuesday's 14-12 defeat at Canberra Stadium in a makeshift backline that failed to breach the dogged Brumbies defence for a single try.
"Most of the guys who were playing are disappointed, but it is important that we realise there is a bigger picture, which is Saturday and the three-Test series," the 27-year-old Irishman told the Lions website.
"We need to get back on our feet pretty quickly.
"We will slowly realise that this is one set-back, it is not what the tour is going to be remembered for. If the 23 guys can get us back to winning ways on Saturday then tonight will be a distant memory.
"It won't affect the team mentally. This week is all about Saturday and it still is. It would have been nicer if we had won and it would have given us greater momentum and there would have been a real high spirit within the camp, but I don't think it will affect us hugely."
The loss ended the Lions' unbeaten run of five matches this tour and was their first loss to a provincial side since being upset by Northern Transvaal in South Africa in 1997, their last victorious tour.
It was also the first win by an Australian provincial side over the Lions in more than 40 years.
Coach Warren Gatland described the loss by the Lions' weakest side on the tour as a 'wake-up call' but Kearney denied the squad had needed to be shaken out of a sense of security.
"You only get timely wake up calls if you deserve or need them and I think it would be a bit unfair to say we needed one," Kearney, on his second Lions tour, added.
"There were a lot of guys out there playing for the first time and it was a team that was put together over only the last few days.
"There were a lot of things that we should have done better, things that should be a given as professional rugby players. They were the things that we came up short of and that will be the most disappointing."
Former Wales winger Shane Williams, one of three backline players flown over just before the tour match, conceded it was a big ask to slot in to the line-up late.
"I had one team run yesterday. Obviously it is never easy to fit back in and I had to get used to the calls and patterns but I'm not using that as an excuse," said the 36-year-old, who was called in by team management just for the Brumbies match.
"We trained hard, did our homework and had a look at the Brumbies, our calls and moves but as I said it just wasn't meant to be."

Peter Quillin: Winky Wright Fight All But Done for May 5
By Ryan Maquiñana
Unbeaten middleweight Peter Quillin confirmed that a deal is all but complete for a May 5 fight with former undisputed junior middleweight champion Ronald "Winky" Wright. BoxingScene.com first reported the possibility of Quillin-Wright on Friday .
"I'm just waiting to sign the contract on Monday, but from what my team has agreed to, it's going down," the 160-pound contender told BoxingScene.com Saturday evening.
The fight will take place on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather's return to the ring against Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"When they brought up Winky's name a week ago, I had to take it," Quillin said. "Every fight is step up on the ladder of my career, and this is clearly going to be more of a challenging camp. I'm 28 years old, and I want to be in contention for a world title shot this year."
Quillin (26-0, 20 KOs), coming off a sixth-round stoppage of Craig McEwan in Cancun last November, faces his sternest test yet. Although the 40-year-old Wright (51-5-1, 25 KOs) has not fought in two years (a lopsided decision loss to Paul Williams), his slick southpaw style could present a different look for "Kid Chocolate."
"Look, Winky's a perfect boxer, but I'm not worried about that. I'm from Michigan where you fight all kinds of styles coming up. I've seen it all," said Quillin, who was visiting family in Grand Rapids. "You got to crack the shell and execute the strategy. At this level, it's not how well you can fight but how well you can execute the gameplan. I can't say how the fight will go, but I'm hoping for a win."
Quillin has been sparring Andre Dirrell in his time away from Hollywood's Wild Card Boxing Club, where he will return on Monday to begin camp with trainers Freddie Roach and Eric Brown.
