By far my favorite event of the entire year at Union is hands down Mr. Union. As it is essentially a male pageant show that allows 16 of Union's most eligible bachelors to demonstrate their talents, as well as flaunt their beach bods. The event consists of a swimsuit fashion show for the boys, followed by their talents and concluding with a question and answer portion. After a long and stressful process, four boys from each grade were chosen to compete. Quite frankly, I think that being chosen to represent your grade for the annual Mr. Union show is an honor. The boys are chosen through nominations and, eventually, voting by the members of Delta Delta Delta's pledge class. Mr. Union is an event that Delta's pledge class puts on for the campus, and I was beyond excited to be able to help out with it this year. Our theme was the circus, and our two fabulous hostesses even dressed up in full ringleader regalia. Complete with popcorn and circus themed decorations, Mr. Union was a hit. Thanks to our fabulous judges (Amanda Librot, Maddy Levine and Scudder Clay), we were able to crown the winner at the end of the night. Coming in third place was sophomore team Anthony Vitiello and Julian Gendels, in second was sophomore Joe Hinderstein and crowned Mr. Union 2012 was senior Andrew McLain!
All proceeds of this event go to a cause that is very near and dear to the hearts of the TriDelta sisters: the Gordie Foundation. The Gordie Foundation is the result of a young man who was pledging a fraternity and died due to hazing activities where he was forced to drink more than his body could handle. The Gordie Foundation raises anti-hazing awareness, and our pledge class raised over 1,000 dollars to further the cause! Another great year for Mr. Union!

It occurs to me that this discussion seems to be side-stepping the actual
utility of the identd service. Don't focus on the tragically flawed
projected uses (for example, a remote host being able to draw _any_
conclusion from the information passed back from identd). Instead think
of identd as a service for distributing log data from the server machine.
The ident information should be viewed as a blob that can only be assigned
meaning by the issuing server.
In the event that something odd happens (a local-to-the-identd-server
user account is compromised, and attacks are launched from that account),
the ident information can be provided back to the host that generated it,
at which point some possibly useful conclusion can be supported.
So, to restate: ident information is useful only to the server
that generated it in the first place, and any attempt at external
interpretation of this information is of this information is misguided.
Good identd servers are those that enforce this model, by giving out
encrypted / timestamped / authenticated blobs that can only be verified
and interpreted by the generating machine.

A new year begins and a new page in history opens at St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church, 7100 St. Charles Ave., on Nov. 16 as the church marks its 115th anniversary with the installation of the first woman as senior pastor, the Rev. Elizabeth Mangham Lott.
The 11 a.m. worship service will include a "historical moment" as the church looks back over the years since its founding in 1898 as a congregation of twenty-six members. A dinner for members and guests will follow. All are invited to attend.
Lott, a native of Mobile, Ala., has 15 years of pastoral experience serving churches in Virginia and Alabama in various ministry roles.
"The St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church is one of those rare, vitally important faith communities in which all are welcome—all thoughts, all worldviews, all ideologies, all backgrounds, all people—and that generous community of smart, funny, ordinary folks sharing life together is the stuff of the kingdom of God," Lott said.
Lott, who was called unanimously as the church's 19th senior pastor, has a bachelor's degree in congregational studies and religion from Samford University and a master of divinity degree from Baptist Theological Seminary of Richmond. Lott, her husband Nathan, and two children are delighted to return to the Gulf Coast, she said.
"Our church is so excited that Rev. Lott accepted the call to be our senior pastor," said Susan Cotton, deacon board chairperson. "We believe that she will help lead us into a revitalized new era in our church history."
The church began as a Baptist mission of Coliseum Baptist Church in 1885 when it met in unused servants' quarters at the corner of Maple and Cherokee Streets. Chartered thirteen years later as Carrollton Baptist Church, it moved to St. Charles Avenue after the city of Carrollton was annexed by New Orleans. Its current property was purchased in 1924.
According to church records, the church was the first Baptist congregation in Louisiana to ordain women as deacons and as ministers. More than fifty foreign missionaries have been listed on the church's membership roll.
St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church is affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, Alliance of Baptists, and American Baptist Churches USA. For information, call 504.861.9514.
Women's center expands
New Orleans Mission and Gardner Realtors recently announced a partnership for raising $300,000 to expand the New Orleans Mission's Women's Center. The expansion will double the center's current bed capacity for women as well as provide for a full-time women's therapist. The organization's press release reported that while overall homelessness in New Orleans is down, the rate of homeless women is up by 66 percent since last year.
"These women are the most vulnerable of our homeless population," said David Bottner, executive director for the New Orleans Mission. "Of the homeless women in New Orleans, 92 percent have been abused sexually or physically. The problem is deeper than meets the eye, and it is our duty to help them."
"It is the daily business of Gardner Realtors to help people find a place they love to call home, and it's a natural fit that we want to help every woman in New Orleans have a place they love to call home," said Glenn Gardner, president of operations for Gardner Realtors.
New Orleans Mission, 1130 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., is a faith-based nonprofit organization serving the homeless community of the Greater New Orleans Area.
Women's Day
Second Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, 2828 Fourth St., will observe Women's Day Nov. 17, at 3 p.m. The theme is "Reflections of a Christian Woman." Minister Renee Davenport, My Redeemer Missionary Baptist Church, will speak. Evelyn Lockett is event chairperson. The Rev. Robert Myers is pastor. For information, call 504.899.8790.
Noah's Flood
The New Orleans Opera will present "Noah's Flood," by sacred music composer Benjamin Britten, on Nov. 15-16 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 17 at 2:30 p.m., at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1329 Jackson Ave. The performance is part of a month-long celebration of the centennial of Britten's birth. For tickets and information, call 504.529.3000.

Bird Conservation Region 52
Costera y Lomeríos Húmedos del Golfo de México
This BCR has the shape
of a half moon, beginning in central Veracruz and extending southeast
through Tabasco, north through Oaxaca and Chiapas, and east through Campeche.
Vegetation includes tropical evergreen, semi-deciduous and deciduous forests,
thorn forest, oak and pine forests, grasslands, and extensive
areas of early successional growth and agriculture. Humedales del Sur
de Tamaulipas y Norte de Veracruz is an IBA in southern Tamaulipas and
adjacent Veracruz vegetated by thorn forest, introduced grasslands, agricultural
lands, and flooded areas with halophytic vegetation. Wintering migrants
make up 45 percent of the
avifauna, including many species of waterfowl. There are also six Mexican
endemic species here: Green Parakeet, Red-crowned Parrot, Bronze-winged
Woodpecker, Tamaulipan Crow, Altamira Yellowthroat,
and Crimson-collared Grosbeak. Humedales de Alvarado is a central Veracruz
IBA that consists of a coastal system of dunes with desert scrubland patches,
mangroves, and tropical deciduous and semi-deciduous forests. Again, many
of the important birds here are wintering migrants associated with wetlands,
including Piping Plover, Yellow-headed Vulture, Snail Kite, Least Bittern,
Northern Pintail, American White Pelican, Common Black Hawk, and Black-collared
Hawk. Uxpanapa, part of the Coatzacoalcos River Basin, is another IBA
located on the border between Veracruz and Oaxaca. The original vegetation
in the western portion has been transformed, but important extensions
of tropical rainforests remain in the east. Important species include
Long-tailed Sabrewing; Slender-billed Wren; Great, Little, Thicket, and
Slaty-breasted Tinamous; Hook-billed, White-tailed, and Plumbeus Kites;
Crane and White Hawks; Bat and Laughing
Falcons; Plain Chachalaca; Pale-vented Pigeon; Blue Ground-Dove; Gray-fronted
Dove; White-crowned and Mealy Parrots; Squirrel and Striped Cockoos; Green

wintering warblers (Magnolia, Black-throated Green, Black-and-white,Worm-eating,
and Kentucky Warblers, Ovenbird, and American Redstart). El Ocote IBA
in the Grijalba Basin River of northwestern Chiapas is covered with tropical
rainforest and tropical deciduous and semi-deciduous forests, thorn forest,
pine and oak forests, grasslands, and agricultural lands. This center
of biodiversity includes Navas Wren, Emerald-chinned Hummingbird,
Singing Quail, Chestnut-headed and Montezuma Oropendolas,
and Plain Xenops.

Dallas Crime Watch: Tuesday, May 12, 2009
A sampling of crime and public safety news in and around Dallas:
• Family and friends are mourning Kyle Simcoe, a 23-year-old man who was hit by a motorist downtown and died Sunday. Police are searching for his killer and Schepps Dairy is offering a $10,000 reward for information in the case.
• It may not be long before police officers will have the ability use an electromagnetic pulse to fry a vehicle's electronics, killing the engine of vehicles when necessary. It's a tool that could be used to avoid situations like the two in which Dallas officers were dragged in separate incidents over the weekend.
• A Flower Mound man who tried to buy a 9-year-old girl for sex was sentenced to 10 years in prison Monday on child pornography possession charges. Kevin Moake, 50, was found with a laptop that contained more than 600 images of child porn two years ago.
• Dallas police arrested three men and one woman after a chase through Dallas, Grand Prairie and Cockrell Hill Monday afternoon, WFAA-TV (Channel 8) reports. The suspects were riding in a vehicle stolen in a robbery last month.
• The SEC has sued former Dallas Cowboys player Michael Kiselak on accusations he misled investors and may be missing some of their funds.
• A robber held a gun to a Bedford woman's head during a home-invasion robbery over the weekend, the Star-Telegram reports. The 25-year-old woman was treated at the scene.

Manufacturing industries and productivity, 2007
January 07, 2010
From 2006 to 2007, labor productivity—defined as output per hour—increased in 13 of the 21 3-digit NAICS manufacturing industries.
Productivity rose the fastest in primary metals manufacturing and in computer and electronic products manufacturing, two industries where output increased rapidly but hours fell.
In contrast, a very large drop in output combined with a much smaller drop in labor hours resulted in a large productivity decline in apparel manufacturing.
Between 1987 and 2007, productivity rose in all but one of the 21 aggregate industries. The only industry to decline was apparel manufacturing, as output fell more rapidly than hours.
The manufacturing industry measures have been revised to include, for the first time, the output of nonemployer firms and the employment, hours, and labor compensation of self-employed and unpaid family workers. Although small, the revision reflects a more complete accounting of the economic activity in each industry, and improves consistency with the measures for other sectors that account for the activity of these firms and workers.
These data are from the Productivity and Costs program. Additional information can be found in "Productivity and Costs by Industry: Manufacturing Industries, 2007" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-09-1502. The productivity measures reflect data classified according to the 2007 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS); series for some industries may have changed as a result. The base year has been changed from 1997 to 2002 for all indexes. All of the measures for 2007 are preliminary and subject to revision.

If you've been here before, you might notice that a few things have changed… (if it still looks the same, try refreshing the page). We've been hard working on the new template for a while now…and hope that you like what you see! Here's a list of the 10 main changes:
1. in the spotlight – new section at top where favorite articles, blog posts, and other features from throughout the entire hwtm site will be highlighted and changed weekly.
2. popular posts – new sidebar section where the most visited posts from the past month are highlighted for quick reference
3. recent comments – new sidebar section where the most current chatter appears
4. archive/search results thumbnails – little pics on post listing pages to make your searches easier. See an example now. (this applies to recent posts & future ones…might be difficult to go back and upload thumbnails for all previous 876 posts though…!)
5. categories – new hide/expand functionality so you have more categories at your finger tips, but without taking up too much space. (expand function currently being updated – should be live soon)
6. archives – new hide/expand functionality for easy reference
7. hwtm around the web – quick links to other places you can regularly find hwtm content (flickr just now getting going – more to come soon).
8. entertaining ideas archives – we've had tips to great articles around the web & blogosphere before (formerly known as "fab reads"), but they've always disappeared as new ones rotate in. From here on out, the featured articles will go to an "archives" page so that you can always access them. We'll try to get some of the old ones back up over the next week as well.
9. good stuff – a place to highlight miscellaneous fun stuff – news, real parties, cool products, etc.
10. updated blogroll/friends – with click to expand functionality to make it easier to focus on what you're looking for (more currently being added)
And special thanks to the sponsors that make it possible to keep the blog going: you now get both images and text links :) (see left sidebar).

|The existence of an explicit and useful assessment plan helps support the assessment process. (Peterson and Einarson, 1998) A written workable assessment plan is a statement of agreement about the measures and processes to be used in examining educational programs. (Palomba and Banta, 1999)
To view or download a sample assessment plan, please click here (Momentum, vol 3, issue 2, spring 2009 ).
|This sample assessment plan demonstrates four levels of measurement for a graduate program ensuring students have the best opportunities to be successful.
Level 1 refers to indirect measures of student learning that reflect student reaction or satisfaction. IDEA course evaluation items, like "Overall, this is an excellent course," are examples of indirect measures.
Level 2 is direct measurement of student knowledge, concepts or skills learned. Departments using CBASE, or MFT are measuring at this level. Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) is also a Level 2 measure. Also, if you're using a rubric to rate demonstration of concepts or skills learned, you are measuring at this level.
Level 3 refers to application of what was learned. We often use alumni or employer surveys for level 3. Level 3 must focus on changes in behavior or actions as a result of learning.
Level 4 focuses on impact in the program or organization as a result of learning. Also known as business impact measures, your department may focus on student retention, graduation rates, or professional certifications awarded.
To begin designing your assessment plan, you may use the interactive Assessment Plan Form by clicking here. You will not able to save the form, blank or fully texted. You may, however, either enter the data here then print it or print a copy of the blank form by clicking "Print Form" on the upper right hand corner.

Someone asked me the other day if April was going to be a hard month for Pete and me. With the anniversary of the bombing quickly approaching on the 15th, it's hard not to reflect back to the events that changed our lives just shy of one year ago.
Reporters are trying to get their stories. Bostonians are lining up tribute ceremonies for the survivors (I still refuse to call anyone a victim). And everyone is preparing to go back to the spot where our world literally blew up in front of our eyes.
I would be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it. And I would be an even bigger liar if I said I hadn't cried about it. After all, I'm a human with emotions and my entire world changed in one day. I went from being independent in every aspect of my life to relying on someone else to do nearly everything for me. (That's a major deal if you're as stubborn as I am.)
But even with all of these thoughts trying to cloud my head, the month of April is and always will be so much more to me. Every year when this time comes, I will be celebrating another great year with the love of my life.
You see April 15 is in fact the anniversary of the bombing, but April 4 – that is my wedding day! And that will be what I remember most about the month of April every single year from here on out.

ARLINGTON — With a light hearted electro-synth sound and lead singer Michael Angelakos's over-the-top, high pitched falsetto, Passion Pit is the embodiment of a good time. The hundreds of smiling faces bouncing around the University of Texas-Arlington's College Park Center Friday night would probably agree.
What makes this band special, though, is the personal and often dark undertones that lie behind the cheery sound. The lyrics and emotion of their songs, and the impassioned delivery from Angelakos, is what makes Passion Pit intriguing, and all of it was on full display for the youthful crowd in Arlington.
The band is touring in support of their outstanding sophomore album, Gossamer, which is a bigger and more wide-ranging effort than their debut three years ago. Still present, however, is the personal struggle and conflict of Angelakos in life and love and human nature that made their debut, Manners, such a ground breaking and relatable album. Those sentiments translated to the stage well on Friday night.
It was a bit surprising the show even happened in the first place at such an unlikely venue -- especially considering Passion Pit has already canceled about a half dozen shows this summer, citing mental health concerns for the lead singer and creative force, missing out on dates in Nashville as well as places like the Apollo Theater in New York. Once they took the stage, however, Passion Pit had the multifunction arena at the UTA campus rocking.
There's a vast depth to their music to be sure, but when it comes to bringing a party, Passion Pit can deliver with the best of them, and they certainly did.

Our top moments of the week:
10. Best Overacting: When Lindsay Lohan hiresMillion Dollar Decorators' Kathryn Ireland to redesign her home, their conversations about the project quickly devolve into very weird territory. "In order to become yourself, you need to go through different ups and downs, or else you'll never know who you are," Lohan tells Ireland. We're not really sure what that has to do with decorating, but you know, whatever works for you, Linds! And you thought she was overacting in Liz & Dick!
9. Most Touching Tribute: Everyone from Psy to will.i.am to the Backstreet Boys pay tribute to Dick Clark on ABC's New Year's Eve special, but the most affecting - and arguably accurate - tribute comes from New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg. "There are certain people that are bigger than life," he tells Ryan Seacrest. "Most people come and go. Dick Clark was here for generations. What's an American? Dick Clark was a real American. He loved the country, loved people, and people loved him."
8. Worst Rejection: Schoolteacher Allison has long harbored a crush on her co-worker Cary, so what better way to woo him than on national television, right? With the help of Howie Mandel's services on Mobbed, Allison stages a flash mob for Cary before asking him to go on a date with her. "I have feelings for you as a friend and that's the honest feeling. And I don't want to mislead you in any other way," he tells her. "You're a very special person in my life. I don't know how far I see this friendship going into anything further." Ouch! Don't worry — Howie's got Allison's back. The crowd performs something else for Cary: Foreigner's "Cold As Ice."
7. Most Unconventional New Year's Kiss: Leave it to Kathy Griffin to bring the New Year's kiss to a new low — as in down on her knees trying to smooch Anderson Cooper's crotch. Inspired by a report about a Maine town's New Year's tradition of kissing a sardine, Griffin repeatedly squats down to kiss her pal's nether regions — or as she says, "your sardine." Ever the pro and surprisingly not breaking out into giggles, Cooper somehow manages to keep a very game Griffin at bay. "I'm going down. You know you want to," she threatens. "Believe me, I really don't," he says. So theF-bomb, stripping and now crotch-kissing. What will 2014 bring?
6. Strangest Pickle: On Top Chef, Lizzie and season-long villain John redo CJ's catastrophic pickle-topped burger in an elimination cook-off. As if hoarding the dill and constantly opening the oven while her food is inside aren't enough, John has the audacity to pat himself on the back for "allowing" Lizzie to use the production-provided pickles. "I share the pickles. That's who I am," he says. Uh, how about that's what the rules are? Lizzie wins and John must pack up his knives and go — but not before insisting that if he really wanted to win, he could've just not shared the pickles. Yes, John, we'll remember you as a pickle-sharer, not just the guy who wears eyeglasses on his forehead.
5. Best Baby Step: In a step toward acceptance of homosexuality in sports, ESPN airs what is believed to be the first kiss between an openly gay athlete and his husband. After professional bowler Scott Norton wins the 2012 PBA Chameleon Championship, he embraces his husband Craig Woodward and kisses him, promisingly without any fanfare from ESPN. "Our airing of Scott Norton's spontaneous moment with his husband was about capturing the emotion of the victory, as we would with any bowler celebrating with his or her family," the network later said in a statement.
4. Best-Kept Secret: Law & Order: SVU fans have always taken a special interest in the complicated love life of Det. Benson. However, the procedural — for once — leaves them guessing when it reveals that Olivia is going to the Bahamas for Christmas with an unnamed special someone. Producers go so far as to show her on the plane and grabbing what appears to be the hand of a man sitting next to her, but the camera doesn't show the face of her gentleman caller. This is one case that definitely merits further investigation.
3. Funniest Gaffe: Well, we now know what Meredith Vieira's favorite curse word is. Nearly three yearsafter dropping the S-bomb onToday, the former co-anchor does it again when she guest-hosts the fourth hour withHoda Kotb. As they return from commercial, Vieira drops her notecards and exclaims, "Oh, sh--!" Horrified, she gasps and immediately covers her mouth and apologizes, while Kotb and weight-loss segment guest Al Roker relish her blunder. "Yes! Yes!" Roker shouts, triumphantly raising his arms. "Just go ahead and put it on Gawker immediately," Kotb quips, before the censor finally bleeps. "Little late for the bleep!" she adds. Ironically, earlier in the show,Matt Lauer had teased Kotb about her alleged S-bomb the day before, which she denies happened, after a puppy fell out of her hands: "No cursing today?" But seriously, what's with all the butterfingers?
2. Best Loss: After her recent struggles with breast cancer and her subsequent chemotherapy treatment, all Kristina wants to do on Parenthood is let loose with her sisters-in-law. Unfortunately, midway through her cocktail, a big chunk of her beautiful blonde hair falls out. Kristina does the only logical thing and bravely shaves her head in the bathroom by herself. It's a moment that needs no words, but requires a lot of tissues for those watching at home.
1. Most Glee -ful Performance: American Horror Story is known for its shock factor, but creator Ryan Murphy takes a page from his other show, Glee, when Sister Jude hallucinates a rousing song-and-dance number after receiving electroconvulsive therapy. Seeing Jude and her fellow Briarcliff inmates jump, jive and smile to "The Name Game" is an unexpectedly weird and hilarious break from the darkness that dominates the twisted FX series. Does this mean they're a shoo-in for Nationals?

One clear evening in mid-January, a group of Edisto Island Episcopalians gathered at the home of Gretchen Smith. They filled the living room. They spilled into the adjacent kitchen and front hallway.
Three congregations join diocese lawsuit
To date, a total of 34 congregations have joined the lawsuit filed by the independent Diocese of South Carolina against the Episcopal Church late last year.The suit is meant to secure the physical property and marks (names and seal) of the diocese, which it has claimed after leaving the Episcopal Church in October.Joining the suit are St. Jude's, Walterboro; Trinity, Pinopolis; and Church of the Holy Cross, Stateburg.The "continuing diocese" was added as a defendant in the suit." 'The Episcopal Church in South Carolina' is the working name for the diocese in the Eastern part of South Carolina that is associated with the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. The diocese is currently barred from using its historical name because of a temporary injunction issued in the lawsuit at the request of the breakaway parishes," the continuing diocese said in a statement.Making the diocese a party to the lawsuit is a necessary step so that issues such as the diocese's identity can be resolved in court, said Chancellor Thomas Tisdale. It also gives the continuing diocese more time to file its responses to the Jan. 5 complaint.
After greeting each other warmly, the group of perhaps 30 got down to business. They voted on a 10 a.m. Sunday morning worship time. They voted on who they wanted to serve on the vestry election committee. They voted on who should lead the bylaws committee.
Both the independent Diocese of South Carolina and the "continuing diocese" of the Episcopal Church in South Carolina are holding conventions next weekend.Both conventions, the governing bodies of the respective religious organizations, are meant to address administrative, governance and mission issues.The Diocese of South Carolina's 222nd annual Convention will be held at the Francis Marion Performing Arts Center in Florence and will focus on moving the diocese forward, officials said. Workshops for lay members and clergy are planned, including three Friday that are open to the public: Youth Ministry for Small Churches, The Apologetics of C.S. Lewis and Sozo Prayer.The convention also will feature a special opening Eucharist sermon by the Rt. Rev. Keith Ackerman, bishop vicar of the Diocese of Quincy (Illinois) of the Anglican Church in North America. Also on the agenda is a presentation from the Rev. Bob Lawrence, director of St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center. The camp will celebrate its 75th anniversary this year.For more information about the convention, including its full schedule and resolutions, or to register, visit www. dioceseofsc.org and click "Convention Information."The convention of the Episcopal Church in South Carolina will be at Grace Episcopal Church. It will feature a special sermon by the Rt. Rev. Dr. J. Neil Alexander, dean of the School of Theology at the University of the South and former bishop of Atlanta.The convention also will amend governing documents modified in recent years by its former leadership, restoring the continuing diocese's accession to the Episcopal Church, officials said.For more information, or to register, visit www.episcopal churchsc.org.
They talked about outreach and volunteerism. They discussed options for securing a long-term worship space. They updated one another on the status of donated items.
It seemed as though they were forming a new congregation, but that wasn't really the case. They already were a congregation, and had been since 1774. But in January, they had no formal leadership, no regular priest, no organizational structure in place, no budget of any significance and no church building.
All that had suddenly fallen away several weeks earlier, to the great distress — and relief — of those left behind to figure out how best to carry on.
For their parish, Trinity Episcopal Church of Edisto, had split in two after the Diocese of South Carolina announced in November it would chart a course distinct from the wider Episcopal Church.
The final break between diocese leadership and the church came after decades of discontent, especially among clergy who fretted that their church was compromising essential Christian tenets such as sin and salvation as it veered on a path of political and social accommodation.
Trinity is one of several parishes to see portions of its congregation leave to form worship groups of continuing Episcopalians. They call themselves by different names: the Edisto Worship Group, Episcopalians of the Florence Deanery, St. Anne's worshipping community in Conway, St. Mark's Chapel in Port Royal, East Cooper Episcopalians, The Continuing Episcopal Church, Summerville.
The Edisto Group has taken up temporary residence at a barbecue joint on S.C. Highway 174. The Summerville group borrows a black Methodist church. The Mount Pleasant group worships in the chapel of Hibben United Methodist Church.
So how does denominational schism play out at the parish level? What happens to worshippers suddenly out on their own?
Most of the Episcopal faithful consulted for this article insisted on looking forward, not dwelling on the religious rifts among friends and neighbors. They spoke of the fellowship and cooperation, the joyful worship experience, the generosity of people near and far who've lent support.
It all feels like something new, they said, but really it's all very old, a return to traditional Episcopal theology and practice. "What we're experiencing is a joy and homecoming in that worship experience," said Ginga Wilder, a leader of the Summerville group.
Peggy Kwist said she left the church two years ago and lost contact with many of the parishioners, but she's back.
"Now it's a homecoming every Sunday," she said.
George Tupper said the discipline of worship offered by the Episcopal Church and the big-tent values it advances make it something worth belonging to.
Wilder said the emphasis on sin is, for her, misplaced. "The issue is not sin but love and openness," she said. "The Episcopal Church that I was raised in and continue to be part of says, 'Wherever you are, come.' "
Kwist said she feels relieved to be part of the worship group. "I wanted to be able to question, wonder and seek," she said.
The experience, though, has not been all joy. It is difficult to look from afar on a place so intimately woven into the fabric of one's spiritual life, these continuing Episcopalians said.
Baptisms, weddings, funerals. These and other milestone experiences happened within the walls of their church building. For some, loved ones are buried in the church yard. For others, pews and stained-glass windows display the names of family members.
"We bear no ill-will toward those who formed another denomination," Wilder said. "They are friends and we wish them well."
On Edisto, members of the worship group often meet their co-religionists outside of church. They gather for meals. They work on outreach initiatives together. They run into one another at the store.
"Edisto is an amazing place," said the Rev. John Fisher, a resident of the island for four years. "It's the richest social life I've ever had."
JoAnn Liles said the community simply avoids talking about religion and politics. The group is so busy making a new start, the effort has dulled the pain of separation.
"I thought it would be more traumatic than it is," she said. "I thought, 'Oh, I can't do this!' But it's just a building." Liles is busy with the nascent choir and Sunday school. She's a chalice bearer. "Once this group was formed, it was like a huge celebration."
On Sunday mornings, between 20 and 40 people convert Po Pigs BBQ into a chapel. They call it St. Bobo's Cathedral. Priests, some of whom have emerged from retirement, others who drive from Charleston and beyond to fill in, lead worship.
On Edisto, Fisher shares the altar with the Rev. Bert Hatch, another retired priest living in the area.
On Jan. 13, the Rt. Rev. Charles vonRosenberg, retired bishop from the Diocese of East Tennessee, came from his Daniel Island home to preside over the service. Thirteen days later, vonRosenberg was elected provisional bishop of the Episcopal Church in South Carolina.
He said he thinks the number of worshipping communities, and the number of worshippers within each one, is likely to grow over time, and that they require careful support from the local diocesan administration.
"It seems to me we are, and have been, doing basically three things to be supportive of the continuing churches and worshipping communities," vonRosenberg said. "First, providing encouragement and moral support in a time that seems sad and risky. ... Secondly, we offer a resource of information, such as contact with supply clergy. That obviously is very important for the liturgical life of these communities."
And finally, the continuing diocese serves as a conduit to the broader Episcopal community, he said.
"As the Episcopal Church in South Carolina, we are providing access to the larger church," he said.
Workshops are planned for the weekend of Palm Sunday to help continuing Episcopalians understand and cope with church trauma, he said. Developing clear channels of communication among worship communities and continuing education for clergy also are on the agenda.
"As Episcopalians, we realize our relationships and our connections within the Episcopal Church in South Carolina, but also beyond that," vonRosenberg said. "And it's time to call on those willing to be supportive. We are part of something bigger and need to be able to count on them and depend on them at this particular point."
Staying the course
Support is in no short supply.
On Tuesday, vonRosenberg received an email from the Diocese of North Carolina offering books for worship, he said.
The Edisto group received 28 prayer books from St. Stephen's Church in Heathsville, Va. That congregation had struggled through a schism of its own several years ago. The prayer books came inscribed by members of the parish with words of encouragement, Gretchen Smith said.
Recently, vestments arrived, and last month St. Stephen's priest, the Rev. Lucia Lloyd, along with four parishioners, visited Edisto and joined the local group at its Sunday service.
A man from Massachusetts with ties to the Lowcountry sent money and donated his grandmother's linens to cover the makeshift altar at St. Bobo's Cathedral, Smith said.
In Summerville, where the worship group now numbers about 50, support has come from the Diocese of San Diego (46 hymnals), the Diocese of Western North Carolina (85 prayer books) and lots of moral, liturgical and administrative support from parishes in Virginia, including Grace Church, St. Margaret's-Woodbridge and St. Stephen's.
These local worship groups may have found themselves suddenly adrift in the wake of a theological storm, but they have found their current, they said.
"We have to be very patient, we have to stay the course and be faithful to each other and to God," Summerville's Tupper said. "It's a rich time for us."
Why is this happening?
The displacement of Episcopalian worship groups is the consequence of festering theological disagreement and a property dispute that already has prompted the independent Diocese of South Carolina to sue the Episcopal Church, accusing it of trying to "hijack" church buildings.The church, instead, says it's the breakaway diocese that's trying to make off with property it pledged to hold in trust, according to a canon law the diocese itself had voted for.Litigation could take awhile and it's unclear who will ultimately end up with the buildings.These worship groups join 19 whole parishes and missions that have elected to remain part of the Episcopal denomination, according to the "continuing diocese," now called the Episcopal Church in South Carolina. So far, 34 whole parishes have chosen to align with Bishop Mark Lawrence. The diocese has, or had, 70 parishes and missions.The church's changing policies on homosexuality was only the latest evidence for conservatives that their religion was being compromised."The root problem we are facing is a salvation issue," wrote the Rev. E. Weyman Camp IV, rector of Trinity, in the February newsletter. "There have been two gospels presented in TEC (The Episcopal Church) for years; long taught in the Episcopal Seminaries and long preached by our Episcopal Bishops. This is not an accusation against anyone locally on Edisto but the divergence from the gospel and moral direction of the national leadership of TEC is committed and unswerving. The gender confusion and sexual immorality promoted by TEC, and in the wider world, is merely the fruit of this deeper gospel root problem."Loyal Episcopalians have long argued that their church is remaining true to its inclusive practices and refraining from "guarding the gate" to the point of distraction, as Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori put it at a recent special convention in Charleston.Eleanor Koets, a member of the Summerville worship group, said the church's commitment to inclusiveness is in keeping with her understanding of Scripture."It is in our grounding in Holy Scripture, and especially in the way that we understand the Gospel of Jesus, that we live out Christ's call on our lives," she wrote in an email.

Hi! It's Mystical Matthew from ShizDiz! I'm back again today with another super simple trick that's a lot of fun to perform!
So, I'm thirsty but I'm out of ice my refreshing beverage! So I'm going to take some water and pour it into my super awesome cup.
Now at this point most magicians would snap their fingers, grab a magic wand, or say some magic words. None of that's cool enough for this trick though… Nah… If you wanna be cool, you gotta kick it old school!
I have to stop, because if this video gets any cooler, I'm gonna give you FROSTBITE! Word…
Anyway, I just turn over the cup and as if by MAGIC! We have ice! Check it out! Delicious!
Ok… I'm gonna teach you this unbelievable magic trick… RIGHT NOW!!!
I can't teach you my cool dance moves because they would demolish the Internet with their awesomeness, but I can teach you the magic trick!
All you need is a coffee cup, a sponge, some ice cubes, some water, and a drinking glass. Stuff the sponge in the bottom of the cup, and then drop the ice cube on top. You're ready to begin!
When you pour the water into the cup, the sponge soaks it up! Then just dump out the ice cube, pour yourself a class of water, and drop the ice cube in.
Best. Magic. Trick. Ever…
Now, like all magic it's not the actual trick, but the subtleties that sell it! Here are a few points.
First, you can't show the cup empty. When it's time to dump out the ice, give the cup a little shake so the ice rattles against the side. This will help discourage people from thinking there's anything else inside.
Second, get the coffee cup out of play as soon as you can. Out of sight, out of mind. That's why you want to have a second cup ready in something like a briefcase or a trunk. Going down to pick up the other glass gives you an opportunity to put away the coffee cup. Nobody ever questions it.
That's also why you use a pitcher instead of a water bottle. Nobody drinks from a pitcher. If you have a water bottle or another glass over here, people will question why you're bringing out this one.
Finally, call both the coffee mug and the water glass cups. The nature of magic is that there will always be gaps in the logic of what's happening. When people think about what you did, they'll identify those gaps and start questioning them.
Our job as magicians is to fill those gaps. By calling both of these things cups, we're intentionally confusing people a little bit. People only remember the last thing they saw; so about half the audience will think you used a clear drinking glass the whole time. The rest usually won't think to question it.
An ounce of good psychology is better than a pound of sleight of hand mastery. Thanks so much for watching. I'm Mystical Matthew from Shizzle Dizzle Magic!

If you had to choose one to carry, which one? If you have both what do you carry more often? Just for funsies.
If you enjoyed reading about "SP101 or Officer Model 1911" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join
today for the full version!

A 3" SP101 is very shootable, yet flat enough for concealed carry. It also has curves, unlike the 1911 which sticks out like a 2x4 under a shirt.
September 16, 2009, 07:06 PM
I have both. I'm still tweaking my 1911 to get it reliable enough to trust for carry. I'll still carry my sp101 more though because I can conceal it more easily in a wider range of clothing.
My 1911 is a full size, not sure how much of a difference it makes compared to a commander.
September 16, 2009, 07:07 PM
The 2" sp would be choice hands down.
September 16, 2009, 07:32 PM
Got both; both tweaked; both excellent carried. Partial to 1911s for daily; SP works well DEEP.

I love the 1911 platform. I do not like the "mini" .45's.
When you are talking that size I will always go with the revolver
September 16, 2009, 08:13 PM
I carry both a 5" 1911 and a number of revolvers. So I vote both, but I'd probably carry the SP more often.
September 16, 2009, 10:37 PM
I voted SP101, I had a stainless OM in the early 90's and it was a great shooter but I just never took a liking to it I guess I'm just a firm believer that a 1911 .45 sports a 5" bbl.
September 17, 2009, 10:29 AM
I tend to agree with jfdavis58, I carry my 1911 more and more for daily carry, but If I dress in slacks and tucked in shirt I carry the 2" SP101.

I have both, my Springfield Ultra Compact is the everyday carry. With a CrossBreed holster it is super comfortable and conceals very well, tucked or untucked. I also like the extra capacity (+3 rounds) with the 1911 and, for me anyway, it just shoots better.
I carry the 3" SP101 for my "fishing buddy" simply because I think you should only walk through the woods with a revolver! For me, the SP is too bulky for IWB carry every day, maybe I haven't found the right holster.
September 18, 2009, 09:34 PM
I don't have an SP101, but I do have a Smith model 36 2".
I also have a Springfield Micro .45acp. I carry the Springfield
just about every day.
I have carried the Smith maybe 3 times in the 14 years or so I have
had a CCL. I just like the "flatness" of the 1911 style handgun.

I am sure that your officer 1911 has been shot enough to be considered reliable, so that's what I would carry.

Officer Model 1911
No contest.....
September 19, 2009, 04:46 PM
After a problematic Officer's ACP, and varying amounts of drama from Commanders, I stick to 5" 1911s now. As for the SP101, I believe it to be in the running for the best compact carry gun in the world.
September 22, 2009, 03:21 PM
I dont have either..But where I go,my 4"Lt Wt Commander follows....and my G27 is on my ankle.....Although i would trade it for a G21 anyday because of my big hands..but its a great gun....
September 22, 2009, 03:33 PM
I have both! Both SS. The SP101 is the truck gun so I guess it gets carried more often now'a days. But over the years, I'll bet that my Officers ACP has been carried more.
Vern Humphrey
September 22, 2009, 03:37 PM
I like both the SP 101 and the M1911. I've never owned a less than full-sized M1911, though. My daily carry gun is a full-size Kimber Custom Classic.
September 22, 2009, 03:48 PM
Being a 1911 guy, I think that the SP101 would be more reliable than many 3"-3.5" M1911s out of the box.
My opinion would be different if we are talking about 4.25"-5" models.
Vern Humphrey
September 22, 2009, 04:00 PM
There, I agree. Short barrels in tilt-barrel actions compromise reliability.
September 22, 2009, 04:03 PM
Contrary to what you read on the internet it is possible and now common to have a 3-3.5" 1911 that is reliable. I have 2 that go bang just as often as my 4", 4.25" and 5" 1911s or my revolvers for that matter.
I will take my officer for round count and because I shoot it well. SP101 conceals easier for me though.
September 22, 2009, 10:50 PM
I voted for the Officer 1911, but only because I've already owned the SP101 and would like to try a small-frame 1911 now.
September 22, 2009, 11:50 PM
I voted for the SP101; I don't have one, but I do have a S&W Model 60 with a 3-inch barrel and a 637 with the 1 7/8-inch barrel and one or the other seems to be my constant companion. If I was to carry a 1911, it would be a Colt Government Model. I used to carry a GM Series 70 back in the day and I figure if you can pack the OM, you can pack the whole gun.
September 23, 2009, 12:41 AM
Voted SP101 because I chose the 4.25"-barrel Commander, not an option in the poll as I read the question, over the 3"-barrel Officer when choosing which 1911 to own.
The Commander conceals, on me, about as easily as the SP101.
Another controlling factor, perhaps playing a bigger role than ease of concealment: Convenience (aka Laziness): The SP101 is always loaded and good to go. I don't keep an auto loaded 24/7 in (perhaps misinformed) deference to magazine life. So, when I decide to get up and go, it's just easier to grab the already loaded snub nose off the shelf than to get into the safe, load, and holster one of the autos.
I like the Commander better, though.
September 23, 2009, 01:10 AM
SP101. Probably a more practical choice for most situations.
I would reiterate that the flatness of the 1911 can be good for concealment, either 3.5" or 5", but is much more holster-dependent and somewhat clothing dependent. So, the SP101 will probably offer itself to be carried more. ;)
September 23, 2009, 08:42 PM
I didn't vote due to the lack of barrel length spec. for
the SP101.
I have a S&W Model 60 3" Bbl. .357 Mag Model - The SP101 with a
similar Bbl len approx. 3" is a couple ounces heavier,
however I've shot .357 Mag through my 60 and no thanks I use
Double Tap .38 SPecial +P 125 gr. Speer Gold Dot which
is rated at 1,135 FPS and recovery from recoil is a lot more
mannageable for repeat shots.
As far as an Officers Model 1911 variation goes, I think the
optimum carry format for the 1911 is the Colt CCO format of
the Comander Length Slide/Barrel -4 1/4" on the Officers
frame - and in comparison it is more easily concealed due to
no cyolinder bulge as well as 7 + 1 rounds.
With less than a 5" BBL .357 Mag loses velocity dramatically
with shortter barrel lengths, especially the 2" snubbbies it just
produces a big muzzle flash from unburned powder.
September 23, 2009, 09:31 PM
Oh, btw
Model 60 3" Bbl = 7 1/2" OverAll Length =O.A.L.
CCO Format - Commander Leng 4 1/4" Bbl./Slide
So an Officers 3.5" bbl. would be 7 1/8" OAL
and a S&W 60 w/2 1/8" Bbl. = 6 5/8" OAL
but in both cases it's 7+1 rds, compared to 5 rds
FWIW - my carry piece is a full size 1911
October 5, 2009, 04:38 PM
There, I agree. Short barrels in tilt-barrel actions compromise reliability.
My Colt Officer's ACP is one very very reliable pistol. Feeds HP, flatnose, SWC target loads and RN/Ball like water through a funnel.
October 5, 2009, 05:39 PM
I have a very, very short list of firms I trust to execute a 3" mutant 1911-ish sort of thing without compromising reliability.
I would prefer one of the vanishingly small number of shriveled up 1911s I trust over the SP101.
I would prefer the SP101 to any of the other shrunken 1911s.
October 5, 2009, 11:50 PM
My dad has a 3" SP101 with a sweet trigger job. It would make an incredible carry gun. Thats what I would go with.

"Love & Hip-Hop: New York" Recap: Let The Music Play
This week's episode of "Love & Hip-Hop" proved that anyone can get into the music business…and anyone did.
First up is Erica Mena. Now, the angriest of the Angry Birds certainly has a voice to yell…but that doesn't mean, of course, that this same voice can be used to sing a beautiful tune. Yet, she managed to impress even the ever-doubtful Yandy, who—earlier in the show—agreed to get Rich fired from being Erica's manager (of course, Yandy also admitted that her reasons were less-than-noble…she still feels some kind of way about the whole Jim Jones situation…). If you're interested, you can get "Where Do I Go From Here" from iTunes and all other retailers. I, however, will spend my hard-earned 99 cents elsewhere. Who could blame me?
Next up, we have Tahiry. Unlike Erica, who received mostly positive reviews for her song, Tahiry got all but skull-dragged up and down Twitter for her rap(!) song, "Devil," that she, of course, would like her more-famous-and-rightfully-so ex, Joe Budden, to do the remix on. Aside from the fact that the song (with or without Budden) makes Vanilla Ice sound like Immortal Technique, the previews for next week suggest that Tahiry and Joe's current girl, Kaylin Garcia, come to fisticuffs when word gets out that Budden will do a verse on the song. Even sadder still, that fight is the most exciting part of the song. (As an aside: Tahiry is 34? Damn, girl.)
Then we have Raqi and Jen the Pen. A brief back history: Prior to this show, both Raqi and Jen had more than a little bit of experience in the world of radio ("With WHOO KID! And 50 CENT!" said Jen the Pen ever-so-emphatically). Because Jen needs a job, Raqi had the great idea of having the two of them co-host a radio show on the world-famous Hot 97 in NYC. After a fortuitous meeting with Ebro (the program director), the duo did a trial run of their proposed show with Dipset soldier Vado (who is rumored to be dating Angela Yee of The Breakfast Club, which is on Hot 97's rival station, Power 105.1). It takes the all of four seconds for the whole interview—and the show—to go to Hell in a handbasket, as Raqi makes insinuations about Vado's, ah, assets. Needless to say, Jen and Raqi's friendship went down in a blaze of glory (or shame, take your pick), with Raqi insinuating to Jen that even her devoutly-Muslim baby-daddy had sent her sexually explicit text messages.
And finally, we have Yandy's video that she made just for Mandeeces. In an effort to say something nice (as I think Yandy's going through enough off-camera drama as it is on account of that "alleged" sex offender of her partner…SMH!), I'll simply say that Yandy has a great body. And God bless her for it.
Until next week, cats & kittens… —Bernadette Giacomazzo (@bgiacomazzo)

Personal Loans for Bad Credit Now Offered
Consumers are now offered personal loans for bad credit with new online service.
Want to learn more or apply for personal loans for bad credit go here http://www.drcredit.com
To obtain a loan if you have or once had bad credit, a borrower must present his or her bank account statement showing a deposit being made every month into the bank for payroll purposes. Either this or a current pay stub will be necessary and some personal loan sources require more documentation. One must also have a checking account because the lender will want you to write a check for the amount of the loan, plus the fee charged, and give that check to them in case you do not repay the loan on your concurrent pay day, when the loan is due. If you do not pay the loan back promptly, the lender will cash the check and you will not be able to access advanced funds from that source again.
Once you have made it clear that you are a solid credit risk, the lender may extend the terms of your loan so that you can access more funds prior to your next pay day. Again, that is up to the lender. Each one is different.
As for personal loans for bad credit for home loans, it is much harder to gain the lender's confidence that you will pay it back in a timely fashion. Personal loans for bad credit risk borrowers require a lot more paperwork than a personal loan for any other reason. For one, there has to be real property involved, i.e., a house or condominium or even a piece of land. There has to be a legitimate contract for sale. In most cases, personal loans for bad credit borrowers involving real estate require a down payment totaling twenty percent or more of the sales price. And this money must have a "paper trail", showing that the money belongs to the borrower who came by it in a legitimate way. The home loan borrower may not borrow the funds for the down payment. Credit issues cannot exceed a certain level and a credit score of 600 or more will be required.
Personal loans for bad credit borrowers are not impossible to get, particularly if you are only looking for an advance to hold you over until payday. Check with the payday advance companies in your area for more information.

This Doctor was the first one to really spend time with me and give me hope to take care of my problem. He took out 2 of my 4 parathyroid glands and I was feeling better right away.
I am 26 and was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. I spent months researching surgeons with expertise in Thyroidectomy surgery including Cancer Centers such as MD Anderson and decided to stay in San Diego and go with Dr. Bouvet. Dr. Bouvet has taken the time to speak with me repeatedly via phone, email and in person over the past month to prepare me for the surgery and reassure me that I was doing the right thing by going with a total thyroidectomy. Dr. Bouvet has also been very caring and quick to respond to my concerns after surgery. It is so rare that the surgeon himself will take the time out of his busy day to personally respond when you contact him.I would absolutely recommend Dr. Bouvet to anyone needing an Endocrine or General Surgeon.
Dr Bouvet is very personable, spends time to answer your questions, open to other ideas, and explains everything in detail.

On 4 April 1968, American civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by a sniper's bullet at his hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. The death of King sparked riots all over the United States. On 10 March 1969, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to the crime and was then sentenced to 99 years in prison. However, Ray announced that his confession had been made under duress; furthermore, he claimed to be a patsy in a larger conspiracy. Surprisingly, the King family came to support Ray's move to reopen his case.

Clear Lake Lumber was started in 1973 in Spartansburg, Pennsylvania. Our original mill produced 10,000 board feet a day and sold only green lumber. Even then our reputation for producing high quality lumber was well known locally. Over the last 27 years, we have become a much larger company, but our quality standards have remained unchanged. Today, we have customers throughout the world that rely on us to supply them best possible hardwood lumber.
At Clear Lake, we invest heavily in the latest technology, both to control cost and to continually improve the overall quality of our products. We use high strain band mills with computerized scanning equipment to produce flat, straight lumber. Our optimizing edger and optimizing trimmer ensure that every board exceeds a specific level of yield. These optimizers are set to eliminate almost all wane on all grades of lumber! The result is a much higher yield than stock of the same grade produced conventionally.

The Stuff you Couldn't Remeber From the 60's Thread
Not like I was even born before the 60's but I'll venture to guess that there's a few things I could point out that you probably didn't remember even though youy were standing in the front row.
Venus in Furs -- Yeah, you were on the nod when this little diddy dropped. You didn't even own the album but you were so influenced by their music, or their drugs, or their drugs and their music, or... oh screw it! The real clincher is the shot of Coaster at 1:53, nuff said.

"If you can remember the 60's, you weren't there."
--Paul Kantner
When my friend Dave and his family used to be about in the neighborhood in which we grew up, people would often come up to them and say something like this to his wife: "I can't believe you married this wild man! Why I remember this time [here begins an almost unbelievable escapade]... ." Having been there during the telling of one of these stories, I sat there while Dave just nodded and smiled.
When the story teller left, Dave looked over at me and said, "This happens to us all the time, and I can believe the stories people from my past tell about me and that I did indeed do those things. I just wish I could remember doing half what people say I did."
For Foo: I was a motorhead. You'll appreciate this: I my memories from circa 1964 are: Top 30 AM radio as I never listened to Rock & Roll before; the Beatles; and my first motorcycle, a Yamaha 80 ported, bored out, head shaved, expansion chambered to produce probably ten full horsepower. The bike would propel me to 60 MPH. But back then, I was less than half the man I am today. My next two bikes of that era were another Yamaha 80 made more street worthy than dirt worthy, and a Yamaha YDS2 250.
I remember listening to Janis, and Jimmy, but my favorite was Cream. I have always like the Beach Boys, and their music was ever present in independently made surfing films shown some evenings in the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. There was a big-budget surf film that came out back then, Ride the Wild Surf, that we loved. If you see it today, try not to laugh at the special effects too loudly. Back then, they were cutting edge. Ride the Wild Surf was part of a double feature with the Beatles' Help which bored the shit out of me. Those two movies, loved by all of my friends (both of them) were replaced at that theater by Alfie starring newcomer Michael Caine. Ugh, what a boring piece of drek that was. The protagonist was limited to making smarmy remarks and smirking at the screen. I predicted a very short career for this Caine fella and knew that I would never knowingly subject myself to any film with that guy in it.
Marijuana was plentiful then and could be had for $10 an ounce, or "lid." Getting high was fun, but was never really my thing, as much more enjoyed having a clear mind. Only the crazies among us tried LSD. Back then, I never did get why people drank beer, except if you were too parched from smoking pot. I never did care much for alcohol and the Boones Farm shit wines that were so popular back then.
I owned my first real gun back then. When I was 12, I traded an older kid on the block a Crossman pump pellet gun for a Mossberg 22 bolt action rifle with a peep sight and a 4-round magazine. Oh, you could definitely put an eye out with that thing. The fact that my parents were unaware of my owning either made my adventures all the more delicious.
Back then, I was in love with a cute blonde girl. I thought I'd never get over her. But of course I did. It just took 40 years.

For me it was Herman's Hermits and the Turtles
<imagines Coaster looking like Sean Penn in "Ridgemont High">
I was fifteen when the 60s ended. After that we only had a few years of good music then it's been mostly crap ever since.
The movies I watched were mostly monster and science fiction. Yes, they were cheesey back then and the special effects weren't so good but they scared Rajah.
Television was great in the sixties! You had Gilligan's Island, I Dream of Jeanie, My Favorite Martian, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and many more. The crap television were shows like Gunsmoke(the old folks liked that) and Laugh-In. Laugh-In was your parents version of what was hip. Gold Hawn was cute but that's about it. There was another show I like called Petticoat Junction. The show was total crap but I liked the brunette on there. She's a cousin of mine btw.
Beach movies were about like Elvis movies to me = alot of crap.

Dear Editor:
The closure of the Goose Creek treasurer and auditor offices was a big mistake.
The closure, a purported cost saving measure of $50,000, has cost Berkeley County residents time and money. The employees who formerly worked in the office were absorbed into other positions; and the county continues to rent, heat and cool the building for court purposes while the formerly used office space is empty. Where is the savings?
Over 60 percent of Berkeley County residents reside closer to the former Goose Creek office than the main office in Moncks Corner. On average over 2,700 residents used the office monthly. This represents over 33,000 visits to the satellite office per year. It is 28 miles round trip to Moncks Corner from this now closed office and that adds up to 924,000 plus miles of travel in one year due to this inconvenience.
Do the math, nearly a million miles of unnecessary travel. That is a lot of gas!
My (county council) opponent, Mr. Call, was the deciding vote for the closure of this office, which is in his own district. I can only say that it simply does not make sense. Berkeley County government should be convenient to its residents not miles away causing undue wasted time and extra expense.
If elected I will work to re-open the Goose Creek satellite station as quickly as possible and reverse this poor decision.
