John Wesley "John" Alexander
Learn about sponsoring this memorial...
Aug. 26, 1846
Henry County
Alabama, USA
Feb. 13, 1934
Florence County
South Carolina, USA
John was a prominent farmer in the Darlington and Florence counties area. He served the Confederacy in Company A, 14th Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers aka "The Lynches Creek Guard". For many years, and at his death, he owned a large property known as "Lone Tree Farm" in Florence County, bordering Darlington County, and he said in 1932 that he was the only man alive in his Civil War company. He married Sallie Stewart February 1, 1866, not long after the Civil War ended.
The grave of John's mother, the former Delilah Alexandra Kea has yet to be located. She is presumed to be buried in the Darlington County area, and is estimated to have died around 1851 in Darlington County. His father is buried in Newman Swamp United Methodist Church cemetery, listed on Find-A-Grave as "Newman Swamp Cemetery".
In 1932, John Alexander dictated a shortened version of his life story to his daughter Maggie Louise Alexander, a schoolteacher who knew he had a lot to say about some of the historical events of the War Between the States. This is his "Reminiscence".
"I was born August 26, 1846, in Henry County, Alabama. My parents emigrated from Alabama when I was about three years old. My mother died when I was about four years old, so I have never known the love of a mother.
In writing this, I wish to relate some of the most impressive experiences of my life as a soldier during my four years of service in the War Between the States as best I can remember them now.
I was too young to realize what I was getting into when I entered the war. I had a pal, John W. DuBose, who was older than I. He had enlisted for service, and as I loved him dearly, I could not bear for him to leave me. It was because of his influence that I volunteered to go to the army, as I was not quite fifteen years of age. My pal and I were in all the conflicts.
I entered the war in 1861. W.I. Carter of Cartersville was my captain, his company A, 14th South Carolina Regiment. We were trained for service at a place called Lightwood Knot Springs, near Columbia, South Carolina. I was in training about three months, served on the coast about Beaufort Island until the second day of May, 1862.
The Northern troops were encamped on Beaufort Island. We had several skirmishes around and near Port Royal and Beaufort Island. In these skirmishes, very few lives were lost. On the twenty-second day of May, 1862, we got orders to go to the Northern Army at Richmond, Virginia.
A short while after this we went into hostilities. The comptroller of the Northern Army was General McClellan. Among those in my company were my pal, John W. DuBose, Sewell W. DuBose, Henry DuBose, George Scarborough, Marion Large, Charlie and Alexander Stuckey.
Alexander Stuckey was an orderly sergeant. He was wounded at The Battle of the Wilderness. A minnie ball struck him on one side of the head going through it and came out on the other side. I reported him as dead. He was taken to some hospital and recovered. Sewell DuBose was a brave soldier. After the war, he married Elizabeth Gwynn Jenkins, and reared a large and intelligent family of children. Marion Large married a daughter of Sewell DuBose.
At the beginning of the war, my only brother, Abner Alexander, enlisted for service for six months. He fought in the first Battle of Bull Run, Virginia. Six months he came home and found that I had entered the army. He regretted, very much, that I had taken this step. I went away while he was at home. My brother re-enlisted and went back to the same company. Just a few days before they went to Tennessee, I heard that my brother's command was about a mile from me. I got permission to go to him, and this was the last time I ever saw him. He came a part of the way back with me. We sat on a chestnut log and he told me that he felt like that we would never see each other again, and told me, also, where I would find his trunk and other belongings. He was killed at Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. I found his things, as he told me, his trunk and picture, but his girlfriend refused to part with his jewelry.
The first battle I engaged in was The Battle of Seven Pines. This battle took place along the Chickahominy River, and was as complete a victory as the Southern Army ever had. We drove twenty-seven miles down the river until we were under the shelter of their gunboats that lay in the James River. At this time our brigadier general was Maxcy Gregg of Florence, South Carolina, who was one of the bravest men I ever knew. Later I saw him, after he was killed, being carried on a stretcher at The Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia. I do not know how old General Gregg was at the time of his death, but he looked to be about forty years old. From this time the battles were too numerous for me to remember the dates.
I fought in the following divisions: I fought under General A.P. Hill, General Maxcy Gregg, Abner Perrin. I was never wounded bad enough to leave the battlefield, but was knocked down by a ball at Vine Run, Virginia. I had a small camp Testament in my pocket which I think saved my life. The ball hit me in the region of my heart, doubling the Testament in the center. I was knocked down, was stunned, but soon got up and took my place in the battle.
At The Battle of Cold Harbor we fought all afternoon until dark. When the battle ceased, I was detailed to go to the rear and get water for the company. Taking as many canteens as I could carry, I went to a little ravine to get water. A Union soldier was lying near the ravine. His teeth had been shot out and his jawbone was broken. He made me understand that he wanted water. I held the canteen to his lips and he drank all he wanted. After this, he made me understand that he wanted me to carry him to the rear, as we were still in danger. I carried him about three hundred yards and left him. When I returned to my company, I was sent to help bring the dead. We worked all night until up into the next day.
I was in the Battle of Gettysburg, which lasted four days and nights. This was the most cruel of all the battles. It was a slaughter pen. I was a drummer boy at this time, and after three or four rounds of fighting, the bass drummer and I were detailed to care for the wounded. The Battle of the Wilderness was a thick forest of junipers which were hewn down by balls like a field of grain. It did not seem that a person could come out the battle alive.
Twice during the war I was dangerously ill. I had typhoid fever, also typhoid pneumonia. One day I was sent to Richmond, Virginia, a distance of about twelve miles, to drive cattle for beef for the army. On my way back to camp, a thundercloud arose, and I lay in a wet blanket that night in mud and water. When I awoke the next morning I was very sick. Two days later, my commander was sent to Fredericksburg, Virginia and I was sent to a hospital in Lynchburg, Virginia. I had developed typhoid fever. One Sunday morning while convalescing, two of us decided to ask permission of the doctor to let us take a walk. He agreed, on the condition that we would not eat anything on the trip. We promised. On our trip we saw a garden of beautiful green collards and asked a colored woman to cook some of them for us. This she did, and we ate all we wanted with no bad results.
At Malvern Hill I was captured prisoner. From there was sent to Point Lookout, and from there was sent to Elmira, New York.
This was a very bitter experience. As it was very cold, the prisoners suffered severely from cold and hunger. Here, I contracted typhoid pneumonia and again, was dangerously ill. When I had about recovered, I got an exchange payroll. When I left prison they gave me a piece of pickled pork and hard tacks to eat. I would have died from hunger, but got up with some officers, who shared what they had with me.
I left Elmira, New York the 14th of March 1865, and reached my home on the 27th of March. I came home by way of Richmond, and came by railroad to Blackstock, South Carolina. The Union Army had torn up the railroad, and I had to walk the rest of the way, a distance of one hundred and ten miles. When my partner and I reached the Wateree River, we made an attempt to cross over without the help of the ferryman, and had a narrow escape from drowning. But the ferryman arrived and carried us safely over.
The first night after reaching Camden, I spent the night with a cousin who sent us a part of the way home the next morning. Sherman's Raid had passed through this country and had destroyed everything. "Life preserver peas" were about the only thing that could be had, and the people said that they had the right name.
On arriving home, I heard that my cousin, Edward Alexander, who served in the Western armies, who had been reported and lamented as dead for three years, had returned home two weeks previous. His funeral had been planned, and a preacher engaged to preach his funeral on the Sunday following his arrival on Friday night. On this Sunday, this soldier went to the service and told the preacher he need not bother about preaching his funeral.
I was in a company of one hundred and twelve men, and as far as I know, am the only living one at the present time. I was never wounded in the war, but soon after, I had the misfortune to get my leg broken twice in the same place. From this accident I have never recovered, but the results have followed me until the present time.
I am now in my 87th year. I have six children living, thirty-nine grandchildren, thirty-two great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. I am also the only one of my family of the older Alexanders living now. (signed) John Wesley Alexander"
Obituary from "Florence Morning News", and believed to have written by John Alexander's daughter, Maggie Louise Alexander:
"Taps for Brave Soldier Sound
Funeral Services for John W. Alexander at Timmonsville Today
Special to Morning News:
TIMMONSVILLE, Feb 14 - Funeral services for John W. Alexander, 87, gallant Confederate veteran who died Tuesday night at his home a few miles from Timmonsville, will be held Thursday morning 11 o'clock from the Pine Grove Methodist church conducted by his pastor, the Rev. J.F. Campbell. Interment will follow in the Thornwell Cemetery (Thornal is correct) beside the grave of his wife.
Mr. Alexander enlisted in the Confederate army at the age of fifteen years and served throughout the war. He was a member of Culpepper Camp, U.C.V. of Timmonsville. For thirty years he had been superintendent of the Pine Grove Methodist Sunday School being assisted the last few years by his son Luther Alexander.
Mr. Alexander was a splendid Christian gentleman and his influence for good has been far reaching. His death, due to heart trouble from which he had been suffering for some time brings sorrow to a host of friends.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. George Hatchell and Miss Maggie Alexander and four sons; J.L., J.K., C.E. Alexander all the Timmonsville section, and H.L. Alexander of Greenville. He also leaves 32 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and four 2-great-grandchildren. The passbearers will be six grandsons: Gary Hill, Roy Hatchell, Lee, Arnold, James, and Earl Alexander."
Obituary from the March 15, 1934 issue of the Methodist periodical "Southern Christian Advocate":
"On Feb 13, 1934, death came into our midst and removed from the home, church and Sunday school one of the most faithful and beloved members, Bro. John Wesley Alexander, 87 years 5 months and 17 days of age. He was the son of the late Rev. John William Alexander who died in the year 1903 (1899 is correct). His loving wife passed through the gate of death in 1917, leaving him a widower for the past 17 years.
Brother Alexander gave his heart to God around 45 years ago and had a rich experience until the day came when he fell asleep. He really did fall asleep. On Friday night preceding his death, realizing that he was soon to pass out, he called all who were near to his bedside and talked and prayed with them closing with a benediction. He then went into a state of coma and breathed his last on the following Tuesday night. He served as steward of Pine Grove Methodist Church for quite a number of years and was superintendent of the Sunday school until the day of his death. He died in harness for his Lord.
He was a member of the league of Confederacy, having served all four years in the war between the States. During the war his life was saved by a pocket Testament. A bullet, which perhaps would have pierced his heart, struck the Testament in his pocket and his life was spared.
He is survived by six children: Charlie Alexander, H.L. Alexander, J. Luther Alexander, Joseph Alexander, Mrs. G.C. Hatchell, and Miss Maggie Alexander; also 40 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren, and 3 great great grandchildren. He is gone but not forgotten. His works do follow him. - J.F. Campbell"
John and his wife Sallie had another daughter, Ella L. Alexander Hatchell, not listed, who died in the early 1900s at age 33. Although it is theorized that she was buried in John's "Lone Tree Farm" family cemetery, not too far from Pine Grove, it has not been proven that she is buried there. There has been a lot of destruction there over the years.

So I've been trying to get DH on the debt free wagon for about a year with no luck, but I've been trying. Things went downhill fast when he talked me into opening a new CC to improve my credit (horrible idea) and the bank give me a $10K limit! Well I ended up having to leave for work for 4 months and over that time, the CC got maxed out. Not by me. By the time I realized what had happened, it was too late.
On top of the 10K CC bill, we have DH's SL, 3 other minor CCs, a car payment, and then normal household bills.
I am the only one working. DH has been "looking" for work since we got married (he's a SAHD right now). I do most of the looking. I fill out 90% of the applications and the three interviews he did go to, I literally pushed him out the door and handed him the car keys so that he would go.
I've been (in my opinion) amazingly patient with him. He's become depressed about not finding a job, but will only look for jobs in his desired area of employment (which isn't booming) and he would have to make at least $10/hour to cover childcare cost so McDonalds isn't an option.
I'm honestly at the point where I'm looking for a pt job, just to give us some wiggle room because right now there's about $60 after everything is said and done. I do not have a lot of off time. Right now it's M-F, 8-10 hour days and I still have to do some work at home. I cook every night, I clean most of the time, do the laundry, and do the budget.
I know I can cut our cable (we already switched to a cheaper provider) and cut our phones, but I feel really selfish because it's like I'm doing all this work and trying to be responsible, why can't I have these two things?!

I am not a blacksmith, but would like to have a anvil like object for pounding stuff. Because of the above and lack of space, I would like not to spend too much on a real anvil.
I do, however, have some things such as billets of 4140 steel of various sizes and a piece of LIGHT GAUGE railroad track (20 lbs or so). After a recent discussion in rec.crafts.metalworking, I decided to take a quick peek here and ask a question.
If grind a part of the rail approximately flat, and then weld a piece of 4140 to the flat top of the rail (to form a flat part), and grind another billet to some horn like shape, and weld it to the anvil also, how usable would this be for small scale aplications?
Grinding will be done with a 3 HP grinder.
Welding would be done using TIG method.
I have a decent quantity of various oil hardening tool steel filler rod, which I could use if so advised. I also have a "hardfacing rod" in very small quantity.
Now, if this is a "waste of time", I would rather not do it and could look for a real anvil at industrial liquidations or some such, when I need one.
I would not start with "light duty rail". Railroad rail is gaged by weight in pounds per yard. Main line rail starts at about 110 puounds per yard. So and anvil make from it, assuming it was 18" long, would be less than 55 pounds, after removing part of it by grinding, cutting, etc. This is pretty light for an anvil that would be used by a blacksmith. It will have to be clamped down tightly or it will bounce all over the place. I have heard that the latest, realy heavy duty main line rail weighs 150 pounds per yard, so an anvil made from that, maybe 24 inches long could weigh in at 80 or 80 pounds. This is still light, but better. Personally, I think the main problem with using railroad rail is the thin waist that you will get.
Weyger's book, "The Complete Blacksmith" shows how he made an anvil from railroad rail. I'm not saying "don't do it", just that there are limitations.
If you already have the 4140 billets, I would simply weld them together to make yourself an anvil. You will want to harden the face, at least when you are done.
Alternately: Have you looked at the Harbor Freight 110 pound cast STEEL anvil for around $80? (It's the only one they have that isn't cast IRON) As a first or occasional use anvil, I think it is hard to beat and a lot less work!!!

I've had a 110 pound cast steel HF anvil for about 3 years now and love it. When I bought mine, they were on sale, and they allowed me to use a discount coupon as well. IIRC, I paid just under $70.
I must admit, I use it for (compared to blacksmithing) light automotive and general shop use like a surface for driving sintered bronze bushings and letter/number impression stamping. And wow, what a heat sink!
I remember when I got it, I cleaned up the face with a file, and put about a 1/32" radius on all the edges... then 'polished' the face with wire cup brush, then a fine scotchbrite disc's in the electric drill. I keep a light coat of oil on it, and it still looks brand new.
The horn was originally VERY rough, and as I really have no use for it, still is...
Only complaint is I didn't grab a real anvil 35 years ago.

Only problem with this suggestion is that Harbor Freight now is only carrying the caste iron 55 lbs anvil. I just checked their website.
Check local stores. They still have them.

To the person looking for an anvil: (Iggy? I'm losing track of the thread, but I won't let that stop me:)
Far as I'm concerned, one is a smith the first time he/she smacks a piece of metal with a hammer. It may take a while to become a good, or even barely competent, smith and a lifetime to master the craft, but: Hit metal, you're a smith.
Follow the First Rule in The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy: Don't Panic!
Early smiths managed quite well with any old hunk of iron stuck on a stump -- or whatever else was handy, even a sorta flat rock and no iron but the hammer.
One of the best smiths in the SCA always uses just a stake anvil stuck in a tree trunk round when demonstrating at an SCA event. He does beautiful work.
After all, you can only hit an area as big as the face of your hammer.
As long as whatever you're using is harder than hot steel, has at least one relatively smooth spot, and is mounted solidly, you can go ahead and blacksmith and build up your tooling collection as you go along.
If you have to, go to your friendly neighborhood junk yard and pick up any old piece of 2-4 inch or bigger piece of round or square stock. Set it on end on/in something that makes it a solid striking surface It'll work well enough to get started. Even the 55# HF POS anvil will work. You'll just have to be careful not to hit the face too much.
Check out a cutler's anvil: It's a square block of steel, period. Knives and swords have been and are made on such and blades can be the most complicated pieces of work one can try, especially if one gets into pattern welding.
RR rail, old chunk of "I" beam, 3x3, 4x4, or any other dimensions of 1" or more thick steel, big rock; they'll all work well enough to get started.
Well, enough diahrrea of the keyboard. Just do it!
You're a smith: Build a fire and _make_ something so you can make something else.:)
I kind of agree actually.
My own thinking is this: if I make something usable from that rail and a couple of 4140 pieces TIG welded to it, I could always sell it for more than I paid for it (nothing) when I get a better anvil. Quite possibly that homemade contraption will work just fine for years.
If/when I get a half day free, I will try to get that done.

I've got about four feet of switchyard rail sitting in the corner. I've been whittling on it for powerhammer die material. How big an anvil do you want? This is taller in the web than regular rail, and damn heavy and VERY workhardened by years of rail cars rolling over it. Considering its usefulness as die stock, I figure it's worth about $100 a foot, finished out as an anvil. You pay the freight.
On Sat, 23 Sep 2006 00:16:41 GMT, Charly the Bastard
Charly, I am sure that shipping 100 lbs of railroad rail would be very expensive, unfortunately, if you were local I would jump on the deal.
So how does rairoad rail's steel itself work out for an anvil? Not so much asking about practice as theory here. :)
Brand-new I know it's soft stuff so would the face need to be heat treated for use as an anvil since it hadn't been work hardened?
A new rail would need heat treating like what was suggested for the 4140 plates?
Couple facts for the fun of it... Railroad rail is like 1075 to 1080 pearlite just like the soft upper half of a cold chisel.
The first train to roll over it squashes the crap out the surface. Looks like it won't last a week at that rate. :) The second train doesn't seem to do anything to it. :)
When the rail is going to be part of an old-style bolted-together rail joint (using "angle bars") the factory already did it but, if it's been cut the RR "track welder" heat treats the upper surface right near the end. Using a rose-bud he quickly heats up a circle about 2+1/2" in diameter to austenite and lets the rest of the rail quench it. Otherwise the rail end will "batter" and he'll have to weld it up using special 1/4" welding rod later. Spark testing the welding rod looks to me like it's 4140.
Alvin in AZ (retired signalape)
Well, let me ask another question. What would be a good cheap source of plain iron "bricks". I seriously regret not getting more of that 4140 (I only have 36 lbs). I could assemble something heavy and weld 4140 billets on top.
Your local scrap yard, if your lucky enough to have one near by that'll let you rummage. Only one of those left in my area used to be all of them would let you look for cool stuff. :)
A while back got a fancy machined steel part (of some sort) that weighs 105 lbs. It's built like a square anvil.
If you live near the rairoad stop and talk to anybody working on it.
I made it a job of mine to collect short pieces of non-torch-cut rail and give it away. The SP's strict policy was they -never- sold rail. It was supposed to go back to be re-melted for new rail, but the small pieces ended up in scrap piles that went to local scrap yards. I was "saving" it, see? ;)

It works great for powerhammer dies, so it should make a fair anvil. I used a rail anvil for years, the only complaint I had was that it was damn skinny. This particular piece is almost 100 years old, as evidenced by the '1909' cast into the side of the web ( which I guess is the date of manufacture) so it's plenty workhardened, probably all the way through the rail and into the web. It could be a 'model number' too, you tell me.

Yep, about 2" tall, right next to the connecter holes at the end of the rail.
If your chunks of 4140 are big enough, you may want to follow Ernie Leimkuhler's lead:
http://www.stagesmith.com/gallery/shop_projects/anvils/anvil_3/index.html shows the pictures and http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/anvil1/anvil2.html tells you how!
I wish I had access to his metal supplier!
Very fascinating, the pictures are great also. Ernie is a great inspiration on sci.engr.joining.welding.
I am basically an idiot when it comes to 4140. I was visiting a defunct mold and die company and picked up some letter and number stamps that I won on auction. At the same time I bought some TIG supplies (tool steel filler rod, magic zinc filler rod, brass filler rod, electrodes, alumina cups, alumina bars blah blah) from him.
Then we developed a sufficient rapport with the owner who offered me to take any chunk of steel out of a very large barrel. He was nice enough to point out whenever I was picking a junk piece of mild steel and so I walked away with about 36 lbs of 4140. Just a nice person.
If I had enough brains to think clearly, I would definitely realize that I want an anvil made of 4140, and would ask for more and for larger pieces. But, alas, I did not at the time, so I have only 36 lbs of it.
Iggy, try to get some follower blocks from the railway they are over 75 lbs each and harder then heck. The car maintance crews change them out regularly. I believe they are about 10X12X about 3 inches thick. Unfortunately you are half a continent away or you could drop by and see one. I have several around the shop for press blocking and striking plates.
Just out of passing interest, should the blocks happen to actually weigh under 70 Lbs, you could ship one anywhere in the US pretty reasonably.
USPS has 2 sizes of specially marked Priority Mail 'Flat Rate' boxes (free for the asking at the PO by the way, and/or can be ordered for free from the USPS website.) Anything that will fit in one weighing under 70 lbs goes anywhere in the US for $8.10. The inside measurements of one of the boxes is 11 7/8" X 3 3/8" X 13 5/8". Details are on the USPS website.

C-Murder's Retrial on Murder Charge to Begin in February
The retrial of Corey "C-Murder" Miller on charges of second degree murder is scheduled to begin on February 11. According to the Associated Press, the date was agreed upon by Judge Martha Sassone, prosecutors and Miller's defense attorneys during a recent conference call. C-Murder is accused of shooting 16 year-old Steven Thomas to death in a Harvey, La. nightclub in 2002. His conviction was later overturned because of a discrepancy concerning a witness. During a hearing on Tuesday (October 16) Sassone also noted that, contrary to previous reports, she did in fact approve trips to New York and Mississippi that Miller made to meet with a record executive and promote his novel Death Around The Corner. The validity of the trips came into question when it was discovered that no such authorization had been logged into the Jefferson Parish electronic database of court records. Although Miller's attorney, Ron Rakosky, had faxed travel requests to Sassone's office prior to the trips and she approved them, they were not entered into the database for weeks after the fact. According to court clerk Jon Gegenheimer, these types of requests should be logged into the system within days of them being submitted. The hearing on Tuesday was called to discuss a drug test that incorrectly identified drugs in Miller's system. A subsequent test showed that Miller was in fact clean and the false positive may have been caused by cough syrup that he had recently taken.

AUGUSTA, GA (WRDW) - Newspapers in Texas are reporting Georgia Regents University President Dr. Ricardo Azziz is a candidate for the top position at the University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley.
An article on The Monitor's website lists Azziz as one of five candidates. The UT system has not confirmed that.
We reached out to GRU for comment on Azziz's possible future and the Senior Vice President of Communications at GRU released this statement:
"As a national thought leader, Georgia Regents University President Ricardo Azziz is often approached about new leadership opportunities in academia and health care. He is honored to be considered for such leadership posts and remains committed to the success of GRU."
Azziz has been with GRU for almost three years. He came to Augusta as the president of the Medical College of Georgia in July 2010.

Write Access
We agree with your point that Linux documentation could be better. From where we stand, however, it doesn't seem that Linux experts intentionally withhold basic configuration information to maintain control. On the contrary, many of our authors are experts who are excited to provide information on Linux, and they actually regard it as good business to share their solutions with the world.
As to whether Windows "always works," I can honestly say that many of our readers would disagree, and in fact, many users come to Linux because they can't get Windows to work.
As for the difference in the availability of introductory documentation, maybe the best place to start is to consider that software documentation is extremely expensive to generate. Microsoft makes a huge investment in Help text, online documentation, and white papers, not to mention certification and training, technical marketing, and various forms of marketing to disseminate information about their products.
This information is very useful for the beginner, but it comes with a price that is reflected in the cost of the software and the persistent inconvenience of the proprietary licensing model. This trade-off might work well for certain newcommers, but more advanced Windows users (and some beginners, for that matter) might actually prefer to keep some of that money in their pockets rather than subsidizing the education of entry-level users whenever they buy a Windows license.
Having said that, I should add that the Internet has plenty of Linux mail servers that are working very well, and in fact, the Kerio mail server you mention in your letter comes with a Linux version. Have you tried it?

If there was any member of the New Orleans Hornets who was unhappy to see a five-day break between games, it had to be backup point guard Brian Roberts. Roberts, a 26-year-old rookie who spent the last three seasons playing in Bamberg, Germany, experienced the best night of his brief NBA career in the Hornets' 107-99 win over the Charlotte Bobcats last Friday night, contributing 16 points in 30 minutes, hitting 7 of 8 shots, handing out eight assists and turning the ball over just once.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Yelp is a place that one can write reviews for businesses local to the area.
However, only bad or false reviews are printed. When a good or real review is printed it does not appear on the site and is 'filtered.' Not only does this hurt the business, but the business are scored and this lowers the business score.
The primary purpose of Yelp is to print bad reviews and then extort businesses into paying to have the bad or unreal reviews removed.
When asked, Yelp states that a 'system' decides what reviews are printed based on key words. However, there is no explanation on what these key words are, nor there is no explanation why poor reviews and out and out lies are printed but removed if the business pays to have them removed.
For example, one business that I frequent was closed due to a fire. The business was not open. Yelp permitted somebody to write a negative review about the business and the service they received when the business was not open. [continued below]....
Yelp will be reported to several agencies, and the world will get out regarding how it is run and it's unethical business practices.

And a much better WR. As I stated above, I like the pick up and Ginn will have an affect on field position. Which will result in more opportunities to score.

Great Moments in Television: The Heidi Game, the Great Pumpkin, and the Family Hour
Do you remember the Heidi Game?On November 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders defeated the New York Jets 43-32, scoring two touchdowns in nine seconds to overcome a 32-29 New York lead. Fans didn't see the dramatic finish, though, because with just 65 seconds left to pay and with the Jets in the lead, NBC made a last-minute decision to cut from the game to begin airing a much touted 1968 made-for-TV version of Heidi.NBC executives were caught between a rock and a hard place: The game bet … [Read more...]

I am trying to set up a way for customers to be tax exempt. Currently, my cart charges state sales tax for customers in Wisconsin, US. I have added a tax exemption field to the checkout and account pages and tied those fields to the user meta data.
I'm using get_user_meta($current_user->ID, 'aacer_tax_exempt', true) to check their tax exempt status and everything is working so far.
Now, when a user is tax exempt and they are on the checkout page I want to remove the tax from the cart total.
I found this snippet on stackoverflow that allowed me to modify the cart prices:
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals', 'add_custom_price' );
function add_custom_price( $cart_object ) {
$custom_price = 10; // This will be your custome price
foreach ( $cart_object->cart_contents as $key => $value ) {
$value['data']->price = $custom_price;
But I can not make it work for taxes.
Anybody have any ideas how to remove the taxes from the cart total during checkout? Thank you!

Looking to explore the Chianti region of Tuscany with all the comforts of home and more? This accommodation in a Tuscany villa has it all, from a swimming pool to sprawling grounds and all the amenities indoors. One of the owners, who lives on the estate in the family villa, is American and she's furnished this holiday villa in Tuscany to American tastes. So relax! Lounge at this Tuscany vacation villa, take a refreshing bike ride to nearby Certaldo (we highly recommend exploring the Pretorio Palace), or take a day trip to Florence and beyond! There is another villa, Villa Certaldo, and an apartment, La Solaia, right next door.
The property is located four kilometers from Certaldo, which has all the necessities combined with small-town charm. Pick up groceries or eat out in the modern section and spend the rest of your day exploring Certaldo Alta, the old medieval village. In July, you may find yourself in the midst of a lively Renaissance festival, complete with street artists, actors, musicians, and more. And don't forget to get your fill of medieval architecture! You can explore the Pretorio Palace or marvel at the profile Certaldo castle cuts across the sky. Like museums? Visit the house of Giovanni Boccaccio (author of the Decameron). Day trips can take you to San Gimignano, Siena, and Florence. Pisa and Florence airports are easy arrival points where you can rent a car.

This independent villa is situated on a private estate that consists of the owner's residence, another villa (Villa Certaldo) and an apartment (La Solaia), both for rent. This villa is nestled into the side of a hill leading up to the main villa, which sits on the crest of the hill. The outdoor areas are on different levels and separated by a fence, so remain very private. A gravel parking area is conveniently located a few meters from the front entrance, separated by a plot of grass. Views from the house are directed away from the other residences, making this villa private with its own fenced garden. There is an enormous fig tree adjacent to the backyard fence that overlooks the valley. At the front of the house on the ground floor there is a spacious covered terrace with a table and chairs for outdoor dining. A pathway from the terrace leads to the villa's own private swimming pool (open from mid May to mid September 9m x 4m, 1.1m deep). The property is accessed via a gate off of a paved, very lightly traveled country road. The surrounding estate includes a 74-acre nature reserve, populated with wild pheasant, hare, wild boar, hedgehogs, and newly-sited roe deer.
Ground Floor: A path from the parking area leads onto the sidewalk of the front yard of the home, providing same level access to the front door. There is then a staircase that leads up to the first floor on the right. A guest bathroom with a sink, toilet, and shower is located just on the left. The foyer leads directly into the 22 m2 living room, where there are two sofas (one is a sofa bed suitable for one, with a 120 cm mattress), an easy chair, fireplace, and a safe behind a portrait on the wall! There is also a large flat screen TV with satellite, a DVD player, and a small laptop computer. The entire house and garden offers wireless internet connection free of charge. The living room, as well as the rest of the house, is decorated throughout with an equestrian theme. An arched doorway leads into the 10 m2 kitchen, equipped with a cook-top, oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, American and espresso coffee makers, and a dining table seating four to six. There are settings for 12, along with children's plates and utensils. Large double arched glass doors from the kitchen and living room lead out onto the 13 m2 covered terrace, overlooking the countryside and furnished with a table and chairs for dining. Several steps from the terrace lead down to the swimming pool. The ground floor also has one 10 m2 bedroom with a 160 cm queen-size bed and an ensuite bathroom with a sink, toilet, and shower.
First Floor: Twelve sandstone stairs lead from the foyer to the first floor. The landing has a laundry area with a washer and dryer as well as a sink and iron with ironing board. There are two more bedrooms on this floor. The first 14 m2 bedroom has a 160 cm queen-size bed, a writing desk, and a large window that overlooks the valley. The ensuite bathroom has a sink, toilet, and bathtub with handheld showerhead and skylight. The second 20 m2 bedroom has an extra-long large queen-size bed (175 cm wide x 205 cm long) along with a writing desk and three windows overlooking the valley and garden/swimming pool. The ensuite bathroom has two sinks, a toilet, and shower.

Like this property? You may like:
We loved our home for the week. Elizabeth was so wonderful and welcoming. We enjoyed the fireplace and loved our outdoor terrac, especially for al fresco dining.
BBQ was awesome too. Wish we'd been there in the warm summer months when we could have used the pool!
Enjoyed Most:
We loved the veranda and the fireplace - great views. Very spacious.
Enjoyed Least:
The kitchen was a bit small as we all cooked and would gather in the kitchen.
Surrounding Area:
Gorgeous landscapes - some wonderful restaurants. Accessible to many places for day trips.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Certaldo - (not really walking distance)
Tips or Restaurants:
The most beautiful restaurant I've ever been in was Il Paese dei Campanelli!
Bring matches! Impossible to purchase them at a local grocery store - must go to a specialty shop that sells tabacco.
We used a GPS, but the directions were sufficient. That said - it's a bit hidden, but we managed.
Check In Out:
Very casual, which is how we liked it. Elizabeth offered us a warm welcome - and made herself available to us, if needed. She really left us alone and we enjoyed the times that we did see her. She also offered some good restaurant suggestions.
Suzanne, November
Wonderful time! Elizabeth met us and introduced us to the various features of the property.
Enjoyed Most:
The location and views from the veranda.
Enjoyed Least:
The dryer only worked on the highest setting. Editor's Note: The dryer has been repaired and is fully functional. October, 2015
Surrounding Area:
Certaldo Alto is a lovely hill town that the tourist books do not mention. Absolutely lovley!
We also loved day trips to Siena, Volterra, Moltepulciano, Florence, etc.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Certaldo. No, we did not walk and would not recommend doing so.
Tips or Restaurants:
Don't miss Certaldo Alto. Lovely!! The restaurants Elizabeth suggests are quite good. You can't go wrong.
We did use a GPS. We still needed to call Elizabeth, but discovered we were close. All of Italy is a bit of a maze. But call Elizabeth and she will assist you.
Check In Out:
Check in and out was wonderful. Not a problem.
Barbara, October
Had a wonderful time! Elizabeth was gracious.
Enjoyed Most:
Location and quiet. Great getaway if you are looking to lose yourself.
Enjoyed Least:
We were rather cold at night... especially in the upstairs bedrooms. Dryer did not work properly. If we put clothes in on high, we had some luck.
Surrounding Area:
Certaldo Alto was fabulous! A hidden gem we had not expected.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Certaldo. No, it was not within walking distance.
Tips or Restaurants:
Osteria Antica in Certaldo Alto was lovely.
Bring matches. You can make a fire, but there are no matches. Matches are only available at tobbaco shops, so we had no fire until the end of our stay to chase away the cold.
We did use GPS. But we still needed to call Elizabeth and found we were close to our destination. If you don't have GPS in Tuscany, you are out of luck. Roads are not always in the direction you think you are going. So use a good GPS device to get where you are going.
Check In Out:
All went well.

very nice plugin, thanks. Is it possible to display the full text of a comment or at least the first 150 signs or so?
very nice plugin, thanks. Is it possible to display the full text of a comment or at least the first 150 signs or so?
You mean, on each row of the members' Activity, their Wall ? My immediate answer is "no"...
The Activity items are displayed directly by WP Symposium, so I had a look at how they are built, and there's no hook or anything. We could ask Simon (dev of WPS) to add one. But then, the WP comment id is missing as well...
Or do you mean, as a menu item in the WP Symposium Profile page, that would list all comments raised by the member?
What I'd like to see is not only "Comment on post#3" but the comment itself. Under activities yes, I'd like to see what my friends comment without another click. Less clicking more communication ;-)
There need to be a way for this
Hmm, let me try one or two things and see if I can come up with a little something.
May I stress however, that those rows would look different from the others at the WPS Activity page?
I'm standing by … an excerpt would be sufficient so as to stay within one line
Simon has kindly added the needed hook to WPS, so I'm working on the option to show the text of a post or comment (its beginning) to the next release of the plugin. The option will count the #characters and round to the next word instead of truncate. By trial-and-error you should be able to determine which setting best fits one row without wrapping...
I wish I could edit my previous reply to this thread: rows activity are all showing different information, hence all look different. Plus it's nice to see what was written or commented before clicking, as you pointed out already. Thanks for your request, nice addition to the plugin!
hehe, great stuff. thanks a lot

SUBMITTED: Saturday, December 19, 2009POSTED: Saturday, December 19, 2009
Dropshipping is an approved method of selling on any online marketplace. Due to lack of logistical control, it will take a toll on a sellers feedback, but if volume is high enough, it'll appear minuscule and be in compliance with the platform rules.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I have 4 children. Both of my older children (now almost 13 and 9) were potty trained at or before 2 years old. I had no trouble training them whatsoever. Now, my middle child is 3 (will be 4 Christmas Eve) and he's nowhere near potty trained. I've tried everything with him, sticker charts, candies, taking away his diapers, letting him pick out big boy underwear...everything I could and he just doesn't care. He's neurotypical with no special needs, he just will not go pee on the potty. I'm so embarrassed that my 3 year old is in diapers and I think people must thing I'm a bad mom. Has anyone had trouble potty training their child? What worked?
I'm really embarrassed to admit this but...
Posted 08/31/2012
I cheated with my son, and threw fruit loops in the toilet for him to "shoot". *BONUS* it also taught him how to aim! LOL

We are an EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training whose aim is to transform PhD training in theoretical and computational chemistry, and to deliver the research leaders of the future required by both academia and industry. Our students receive integrated, in-depth training in the core activities of fundamental theory, software development, and application to contemporary research challenges.
TMCS is formed as a consortium of leading research groups from the Universities of Oxford, Bristol and Southampton, so our students will benefit from expertise right across the subject, and from our strong links with prospective employers across a range of sectors.
In addition to offering integrated doctoral training at the Universities of Oxford, Bristol and Southampton, up to four places on the year-one programme will be available to outstanding students with PhD positions at other universities, at no cost to them or their host institution, every year.
The 2015/2016 TMCS cohort
Our students joined those of the Oxford DTC for a picnic and sports day. Much fun was had by all!
Our year-2 cohort took their new ChemGolf game to the Cheltenham Science Festival, as part of the Southampton 'Bringing research to life' roadshow.
Congratulations to year-2 student Domagoj Fijan, who received 2nd prize for his poster at the RSC Theoretical Chemistry Group Conference in Nottingham.

The film industry's two chief lobbyists stayed on message at a brief press conference this afternoon that mostly dealt with the movie ratings initiative introduced this morning. The effort to clarify the reasons why a film has a particular rating, and to keep movie trailers in sync with the film that follows, is "terribly, terribly important," MPAA's Chris Dodd says. The box that describes a film's content is better than the current version because "you don't have to squint to read it." And the effort to match trailers with films will avoid "a lot of confusion." NATO's John Fithian added that his board's unanimous support for the new system — and an agreement to run ads promoting it — is a big deal because "you're asking business people to give up millions of dollars to do the right thing." Is this a response to last year's school shootings in Sandy Hook, and those who say that excessively gruesome films help to desensitize people — including impressionable kids — to violence? Not exactly, they said. Hollywood has been "constantly engaged with the parenting public," Dodd says. "We said from the very beginning that we're willing to be part of the conversation."

Japan and France get the same US movies and have even more gruesome local films. Show me their school massacres and then we can have a "conversation".
BTW: Violent films like Looper and Safe are rated G in France. Where are the shootings??

Tuscaloosa, AL — In a recent GQ article, embattled Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban revealed that an ongoing and irreconcilable dispute with the Miami Dolphins wardrobe staff, not a looming offer from Alabama, was the deciding factor in his hasty departure from South Beach.
"These things linger on and you do your best to keep it in the background," said Saban, dressed in Hugo Boss linen slacks and Armani cotton button down for the interview. "Nobody told me my ass looked fat in those pants. Do I have to do it all? Do I have to let these people know I spend most of an afternoon with half a stadium staring right at my backside?"
The coach went on to stress the finer points of sideline style.
"It's all about the tailoring, the little details like the hem and the way the pants fall," he said. "How the hell do you think I felt when I heard it over the headphones from the offensive coordinator that my ass looked like a giant, gelatinous ball of south Florida Jell-0?
"I had a couple of retirees staring at my hindquarters like I was dessert at the end of one of those casino buffets."
Saban also recounted the moment at which he knew it was time for a change.
"You know your time is short when they lay out argyle for home games," the coach said. "Not only is that look hard to pull off—but, Jesus H., man...this if Miami! Your feet will shrink like a voodoo priestess got hold of them"
Saban adamantly denied a lingering rumor that Alabama's steadfast stand against his wearing of the houndstooth hat may have caused vacillation between the two jobs as details were worked out.
"Never happened—we never discussed it and it was never an issue," Saban asserted. "I was perfectly happy to continue wearing the headphone/visor combo I made popular at Miami.
"It hasn't caught on yet but, man, when it does, the residuals are going to hefty. We've got a deal worked out with Reebok."

(Another great sports tip from guest blogger Jon Doyle of Baseball Training)
The key to quality swing mechanics is quality work on the tee. A player should groove his swing with hundred of quality reps on the tee before he ever steps foot outside and hits live pitching. A Tee Station can easily be constructed in the garage or basement by attaching a tarp to the ceiling. Attach a pole to the bottom and it can be rolled up to the ceiling and secured with a chain when not in use.
The hitter should take his stance with his belt buckle in the center of the plate. The tee should be moved around to three different contact points. Contact point one is placed on the inside 1/3 of the plate, about 2 feet in front of the plate. This pitch should be pulled. Contact point two is placed down the middle and about one foot in front of the plate and hit up the middle. Contact point three is placed on the outside corner, back into the plate and driven to the opposite field.
One-third of the swings should be lead-hand cuts, a third should be follow-hand cuts and the final third should be two-hand cuts. When swinging with the lead or follow hand, the hitter should choke up for bat control and place the bat flat at the tip of his shoulder. Lead-hands cuts will emphasize that the swing is powered by the rotation of the hips and body not by the arms and shoulders. I place a lot of emphasis on lead-hand cuts at contact point three because this emphasizes letting the ball get deep, staying closed and driving the ball the other way. It is easy to learn to pull the ball but hard to learn to stay back, let the ball get deep, and drive it the other way.
Tee work is very boring for most younger players. I told my players to envision a Major League pitcher in the tarp and pretend to be their favorite hitter. I also advise them to announce the game in order to "bring it to life." This really puts the fun in tee work and increases your child's chance of success.

Alvin Clemens, who announced his resignation Friday at a Board of Trustees meeting in Hershey, said the trustees fired Paterno in haste.
"We had no advance notice and little opportunity to discuss and consider the complex issues we faced," said Clemens, reading from a statement.
"I will always regret that my name is attached to that rush to injustice."
An investigation commissioned by Penn State and led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh concluded that Paterno and other top officials covered up allegations against Sandusky for more than a decade to avoid bad publicity.
Clemens faulted the board for hiring Freeh and its "tacit acceptance of his questionable conclusions."

In 1994, hundreds of European artists, activists and pranksters adopted and shared the same identity.
They all called themselves "Luther Blissett" and set to raising hell in the cultural industry. It was a five year plan.
They worked together to tell the world a great story, create a legend, give birth to a new kind of folk hero.
In January 2000, some of them regrouped as "Wu Ming", a collective of novelists.
The new project, albeit more focused on literature and storytelling in the narrowest sense of the word, is no less radical than the old one.
