Don't Waste Your Time - 1/29/2016
Horrible schools, air pollution, lakes are so polluted you can't eat the fish, mean nasty people, low pay, and overall a bad place to chose to live. I have lived here 30 years and I'm outta here.[Comment on this Posting]

I love Tennessee - 7/14/2015
Rolling hills, beautiful countryside, mountains, lakes, streams, parks and greenways, history, music, and a culture all it's own. Tennesseans simply laugh when referred to as "redneck hillbillies." Why? Because we're smart enough to know that a redneck hillbilly is a state of mind that can be found anywhere. Sure, we have our issues - pollution and narrow minded ignorance - but this can be found everywhere. Tennessee is what you make it. [Comment on this Posting]
looking to moe to Tennessee - 1/8/2015
Hi everyone.
My husband and I are looking to move to Tennessee (N.E) and build our dream home. We love the country and would love to have the beautiful mountain view, but we also want to be close enough to the city life. I have a daughter in college studying early childhood education so being in an area or close where she could eventually find a teaching job would be very important as well. Any suggestions of places to live? All your suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Knoxville - 12/31/2014
There are many who say Knoxville is not a good place to live, especially people from the north. Well, it is a great place to live, especially the suburbs. The people of Knoxville are very nice, the nature, the beauty, and the overall atmosphere is great. Housing prices are amazingly low as are taxes.
To my northern friends who have sour grapes, you have to understand that when you "talk down" to southern people, they don't take it very well. So, look at yourselves and your own attitude that seeps out towards them. If you treat them with respect, they will do the same for you. But, for the most part, northern people do bring with them prejudices they learned in the north about southern people that are not true. So you are probably projecting it.
There is a saying in the south, "I won't put up with your uppety Yankee BS." And it's true. They won't.
I moved here to the south and have loved being here for the past 20 years. I have a home in the country and a beautiful lake house that I'm selling and I'd love to sell it to a good Yankee or anyone else who wants to make the south their home.
I'm staying. Don't miss the North at all.[Comment on this Posting]

Considering moving to TN - 2/2/2014
I'm considering moving to TN to retire, I currently live in CO, and would like any input on living there? Climate, people, living and so on. I'm living on SSDI and I have always loved the mountains I live in the high desert of CO and it is all sage brush I'm looking forward to green trees and 4 seasons of the year.[Comment on this Posting]

Cleveland, a place to live or a place to retire... - 4/25/2010
We've had the opportunity to see this community grow over the last 22 years. We moved here as a result of our 2nd transfer. Retirement was just a very distant thought. Now two years away from retirement would we consider retiring here? Well that is a difficult question. On one hand my beloved daughter and beloved son-in-law live here as well as my son. I love them all & would not enjoy being away from them. But on the other hand most of my relatives live in Oregon and Washington. Hmmmm.
Cleveland is in the deep south and is in the Bible belt. We are Christians and enjoy our church and church family. We are not far from great fishing, rafting, camping, boating, and the outdoor list goes on. We have a volunteer symphony, a volunteer acting group in their infancy, car shows minimum of once a month in town as well as several in the surrounding 100 miles, Not far away is an award winning aquarium and in the same city is a 1 week long music festival every year that brings in the big name groups and entertainers. Florida is 5 hours away by car and coastal resorts a little further. For those who adore golf, Agusta is about 5 hours away. Spring is beautiful but laden with pollens. Places to eat are quite numerous and varied from the fast food restaurants to a resturant that serves some exotic items from around the country. We have a small mall locally and a much larger one 20 miles away.
Well, that is all I want to say right now. Don't want to give away all the secrets to this little town. Stop by and look it over on your way up or down I75. [Comment on this Posting]
Totally Poor Health Care - 2/12/2010
I am Disabled and I wear an; A.F.O. ( ankle foot orthotic )Brace.
Hanger Prosthesis & Orthotics, in my opinion, is the worst Company I have ever encountered to fit me with an A.F.O.. I have been waiting 8 months to receive a fitted A.F.O. from HANGER PROSTHESIS & ORTHOTICS and it should have taken NO more than 2 months MAX!!! I have used 2 other Companies for previous A.F.O.s; Restorative Health Services and Superior Health Services, and neither of them took over 2 months to make any of my Braces; I do have documents to support my allegation's.
BJ Stagner, Fitter & Field Manager for Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics; in my opinion, does not know how to conduct business as a Professional nor does he know how to Fit me with an A.F.O.. I believe I "hurt his feelings" back in July/August 2009 and since then he has Slow Walked me on my Brace.
Mr. Stagner who I feel is responsible for me not receiving a Brace, has caused me Pain, Suffering, Depression, Anxiety, and further physical and emotional problems. Due to a condition I suffer from; called "Foot Drop", has caused me to Fall To The Ground several times further injuring my body.
So as a Citizen of Murfreesboro Rutherford County TN. I would suggest that No one go to Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics for the care and making of an A.F.O., "in my opinion"!!!

Day, Hughes to Play for Pan Am Beach Bronze
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
To view livestream of Pan American Games volleyball matches, click here.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 20, 2011) – The U.S. women's beach volleyball team of Emily Day and Heather Hughes will play for the bronze medal at the Pan American Games in Puerto Vallarta while the U.S. men's team of Andrew Fuller and Mark Van Zwieten finished fifth on Thursday.
Day (Torrance, Calif.) and Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) lost their first match of the Pan American Games on Thursday, falling to Mexico's Bibiana Candelas and Mayra Garcia, 21-12, 21-14 in 32 minutes in the women's semifinal round. The pair will play for the bronze medal at noon CT on Friday against Puerto Rico's Yarleen Santiago and Yamileska Yantín.
"(Mexico) came out really aggressive and served really tough and threw us out of our system," Hughes said. "We were never really able to find our rhythm today so that didn't help. They were really scrappy; their block was really good. Bibiana is a great blocker, and we just didn't swing aggressive enough around her."
In the opening set, the score was knotted at five before Mexico ran off six consecutive points and never looked back. In the second, Day and Hughes rallied to grab a slim 9-8 lead, but Mexico responded with four straight points to take control of set No. 2.
The U.S. team led in aces, 5-2. However Mexico paced the match in blocks, 5-2, and in kills, 18-13.
Despite the setback, Day and Hughes still have a shot at reaching their goal of earning a medal.
"Our goal has always been to be on the podium getting a medal, so we're still sticking to our No. 1 goal and going out there and representing the USA as best we can and just being aggressive, having fun and playing good volleyball," Hughes said.
On the men's side, Van Zwieten (Pompano Beach, Fla.) and Fuller (Hermosa Beach, Calif.) finished fifth after a 22-20, 21-18 loss in 45 minutes to Argentina's Santiago Etchegaray and Pablo Suarez.
Van Zwieten and Fuller gained leads in both sets, but were unable to hold either advantage. They led 16-14 in the first and 14-11 in the second, but Argentina rallied and closed out both tightly contested sets.
The teams were tied in aces, 0-0, and in attacks, 31-31, but the Venezuelan team led in blocks, 7-0.
"They were a really consistent team," Van Zwieten said. "We had leads in the beginning and middle of both games and we just let them get on a little bit of a run, made a couple of errors on our side in both sets and that was the difference."
Van Zwieten said his team, which had only played one other tournament together, learned a lot at the Pan Am Games.
"(We gained) lot of experience playing in front of a large crowd and playing at the faster pace of the international game, which we don't have in the States," Van Zwieten said. "We learned a lot and we know what we need to work on."

Power Authority
Designated as 'Best Workplace for Commuters'
Michael Saltzman
Printer-friendly version
January 21, 2004
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority has
been designated as one of the "Best Workplaces for Commuters," by
the U.S. Departments of Environmental Protection (EPA) and
Transportation (DOT).
The program recognizes the Power Authority's
tangible efforts to encourage staff members to commute by using
public transportation and organized van pools rather than personal
"We recognize the great opportunity to help
reduce traffic congestion and air pollution from automobiles as well
as provide an easier and less stressful commute for many of our
staff members," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief
executive officer of the Power Authority. "Our commitment to public
transportation, including van and car pools, is recognized by this
designation as a 'Best Workplace for Commuters.' Our participation
truly demonstrates that we lead by example, that we are committed to
cutting traffic-related air pollution, reducing traffic and
improving the quality of life for our employees and our neighbors."
Each staff member at the Power Authority's
headquarters in White Plains is eligible for free transit checks in
the amount of $30 per month that can be applied to van pool costs
and train and bus tickets. In addition, each employee is eligible to
purchase an additional $70 in transit checks per month using pre-tax
More than 25 percent of the Power Authority's
headquarters staff participates in the commuter programs that
include Metro-North trains, various bus lines and van and car pools.
According to Marge Oge, EPA's director of the
Office of Transportation and Air Quality, the effects of incentive
programs like this initiative can be dramatic.
"If just half of all U.S. employees were covered
under these commuter benefits," she said, "traffic and air pollution
could be cut by the equivalent of taking 15 million cars off the
road every year, saving American workers about $12 billion in fuel
costs. That's both cleaner air and real savings for families."
"Best Workplaces for Commuters" began in 2000 to
address the impacts of growing traffic congestion and
traffic-related pollution across the country. The program is widely
considered as an effective tool to address environmental, energy,
traffic congestion and safety concerns.
Other companies in Westchester County with "Best
Workplaces for Commuters" designations include several IBM
locations, Swiss Re, Texaco and Master Card.

After reading many great reviews online, I bought a M1A from the local guitar shop and had it installed professionally.
He installed the pickup right on the center, but I moved the pickup closer to the neck because everyone seemed to prefers that way.
Okay. Jumping to the question.
When I played it at my church that night, I did not get the sound I was looking for. Too much treble. Too much presence. Guitar sounded very very very treble-y. Guitar strings and body sensitivity was so sensitive, to the point where I was afraid to either strum or finger pick.
I don't remember how the pole was adjusted at first place, but when I lowered the pole, the quack and honk did tame a little but it was not natural sounding. The pole is flat to the pick up. I gained warmth but some kind of weird howling noise, almost like an electric guitar-like sound. Is there a tip for the pole adjustment? Maybe pickup positioning? To maximize the warmth and bring natural sound?
Please help!

Despite of introduction of new graphics processing units (GPUs) by both ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, Nvidia Corp., average selling prices (ASPs) for desktop discrete graphics cards were down in Q3 2008. Nevertheless, unit shipments increased noticeably, which is a good news for both companies.
After finishing analysis of last quarter for the graphics add-in board (AIB) market, Jon Peddie Research (JPR) reports that unit shipments increased 11% (sequentially) to 21.9 million, elevated by major introductions of new graphics technologies and products. Nevertheless, ASP of a graphics board dropped by about 5% during Q3 2008, which is why market value increased to only about $3.8 billion and is 27% lower compared to Q3 2007.
Jon Peddie Research notes that ATI/AMD has by all accounts exceeded expectations with its ATI Radeon HD 4000 series. The new graphics boards are priced aggressively, but still deliver solid performance, which allowed ATI to increase its share on the market of discrete desktop GPUs to 40% from 35% in the prior quarter. Nvidia and its partners did not want to surrender without a fight and had to drop the prices on the GeForce GTX 260 and 280 graphics cards, a move that not only affected ASPs for the quarter, but also reduced Nvidia's profitability.
In an earlier report the market research firm said that rapid expansion of notebooks and netbooks are to blame for the weakness of desktop graphics adapters overall. But even though the demand towards mainstream graphics cards declined in Q3 2008, more expensive offerings became more popular than in the same period last year.
"The loss in discrete sales was primarily in mainstream add-in boards (AIBs) due to overall market expanse driven by lower cost PCs and the use of integrated graphics processors (IGPs). In the Performance segment the shipments were about the same, Enthusiast was up almost 3x, and workstation was up 1.5x," said Jon Peddie in an interview with X-bit labs in late October.
Considering the fact that shipments of premium-class graphics boards – from the enthusiast and professional segments – were on the rise and supplies of performance graphics cards stayed flat during the quarter, it seems that ASPs were significantly influenced by rapidly dropping prices on mainstream and entry-level components and not only the price-war in the higher-end segments.

Welcome to the sight and the wonderful addiction of duck hunting. Now you've added another component to the mix, your dog. You'll never be the same!!
What route do you plan on taking for training your GSP? What is your primary use for your pup?

I am by far no expert on this but pick up Tom Dokkens Retriever Training book. It really helped me and Shadow a great deal. More me than him. But the results are there, and i only had about an hour a day to train him, but he does what i need him to and he's happy about it.

I would suggest following the thread in this link by Tim Price. I don't think you could go wrong with any of that material. Now, be warned, if you come across GSP, or even versatile retrieving breed enthusiasts, they will probably scorn you for following retriever training material. It will not bother the dog either way. Good Luck!

One of the salesmen at Priority Chevrolet of Chesapeake, Virginia sold Danny Sawyer a Chevrolet Traverse for $33,995 when the price should have been $38,995. The legal documents--signed by a dealer representative-- clearly show $33,995 to be the sales price. Sawyer took off for a week's vacation in his new vehicle.
Upon his return, the dealer contacted Sawyer and asked to change the contract by raising the sales price by $5,000. Had you been Sawyer, what would you have done?
(Note to readers: I wouldn't buy a vehicle from a new car dealer under under any circumstances whatsoever but in my never-too-humble-option, Sawyer should have offered to go halfway. Split the difference so that each party lost just $2,500).
However, Sawyer preferred not to budge. The dealer should have let it go. That's business, folks. You make a mistake, you pay for it and carry on. But some idiot at Priority Chevrolet thought he had a better idea. He called the police and reported that Sawyer had stolen the SUV!
Danny Sawyer was taken into custody in his front yard and spent four hours in jail before being released on bail. Although the local district attorney later dropped all charges against him, Sawyer was mad. So mad that he is now suing Priority Chevrolet for $2.2 million in damages!
I hope Sawyer loses the case, because $2.2 million is just plain greedy, but the dealer was too anxious to cover 100% of the error. Even if the case is dismissed, after the dealer pays the lawyers, a lot more than $5,000 will have gone down the drain!
Readers, let's hear your comments!
Am I too hard on the dealer?. On Sawyer? On Both? What would YOU have done if you were Sawyer? Or if you were the dealer? Here's the link to Chevy Dealer Causes Customer to Get Arrested.

Building a Trail Town from Scratch - Page 4
Designing and Building New Trails
Creating a trail is more than just cutting down a few trees and clearing the brush, says Adam Reitz, who works with the Genesee Off Road Cyclist (GROC), a mountain-biking organization that has built many trail systems in Rochester.
"It's essential to understand sustainability when designing a trail," says Reitz. "Poorly designed trails catch and collect water—the primary agent of erosion and most trail damage. A properly designed trail is not only more sustainable, but it generally works with the landscape in ways that are more visually appealing and more fun for various users."
The International Mountain Bike Association has published materials that outline standards for sustainable trail design. These standards have been adopted by countless land managers and agencies when developing guidelines for best practices, and can be a great place to start if you'd like to learn more about trail design and building: http://www.imba.com/resources/trail-building.
Keep in mind that, on some lands such as established wilderness areas, power tools are not allowed. Some public lands may also have restrictions on structures such as bridges and walkways. Reitz says part of the planning process for your new trail should be working with local authorities to determine allowable materials and tools and other requirements. "Requirements for bridge and boardwalk design are often specified by land managers," he says. "Their specifications conform to usability/accessibility and insurance." For example, a town or county may establish a regulation that boardwalks need to be at least two feet wide—and, if more than 18 inches off the ground, require a handrail for safety reasons. Be sure to educate yourself on any and all local guidelines before you begin building.
Above all, Reitz advises to never take shortcuts: "Great trails take time to construct and they will last much longer."

N.Y. Power Authority Statement On Vischer Ferry Power Dam
Christine Pritchard
(518) 433-6839
August 30, 2011
WHITE PLAINS— The New York Power Authority (NYPA) this morning terminated the "Type B" emergency at its Vischer Ferry Plant as a result of receding Mohawk River levels and NYPA's fortifying of an earthen embankment that is a small part of the water-retaining structure of the Vischer Ferry Power Dam.
Seepage of water at the embankment, or berm, is now controlled, with the river elevation—currently at 215 feet—continuing to drop. The current level is two feet below the concrete wall crest of the embankment.
NYPA engineers remain at the embankment to monitor the situation.
Area emergency response organizations are being notified that the "Type B" emergency—the lowest of two emergency categories for hydroelectric plants—is no longer in effect.
An engineering consultant with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the regulatory entity for hydroelectric projects, is expected to be at the site today.
Historic high river flows from Tropical Storm Irene led to the water seepage. The fortified embankment is separate from other parts of the power dam.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

White gaming knight
I'm at my parents' house for the holidays, and actually have time to go online and catch up on the old blogs I used to read.
Jeff on Feminist Allies writes in What Men Can Do Wednesday: Avoid Being the Hero that the need to be rescued is a gendered act. (And illustrates his post with some lovely pictures of knights and LEGOS.)
We all need to be rescued, from time to time. That's what friends, lovers and family are for, in part. Our social networks are also, to some degree, our rescuers, our safety nets. There's no shame in wanting to help people, or needing some help, gender be damned. However, men are trained from boyhood that they not only need to tend to their own needs, but they must rescue those women who need saving.
The "white knight syndrome" is replayed in videogames, where I, the player, embody the white knight in so many of the games I love, Legend of Zelda, the most of last ten years of Final Fantasy games, even Paper Mario. Growing up, living in stories through gaming in a way I couldn't through reading books or watching films that replayed the same white male heroic trope, no wonder I expected it when I went into videogame communities as a confused and depressed teenager. As I recently wrote about in Cerise, the guys there were more than willing to step up, in a very gendered and possessive way, and be my fucked-up hero. And I wanted it.
And what's it do to my gender identity, my self esteem, my confidence in my agency, being the hero when I game, and then entering a community of folks who share my hobby and becoming the one that needs to be rescued?

Medieval Halo Braid
How about a cool medieval halo braid next time you have a formal event you need to attend to and want to stand out and look a little different. This looks has widely been coming back with the whole hipster movement where women and men express themselves with a lot of retro and medieval styles. This hairstyle is perfect for any formal even or even just a nice day out as formal as it can be it also looks really cute and casual if worn accordingly.

The impact of Pope Benedict's visit to the United States is still reverberating around the country. The Intermountain Catholic in Salt Lake City has posted the personal account of a seminarian — and former staff member — who traveled to New York to represent Mount Angel Seminary in St. Benedict, Ore., at the giant rally April 19 for youths and seminarians. The author, Christopher Gray (click here for our earlier article on him), also came back with a photo (right) that proves he had an excellent spot at the rally.

Michael Harris Nathanson, MD, PhD
Gladys Phillips Crofoot Professor of Medicine (Digestive Diseases) and Professor of Cell Biology; Section Chief, Digestive Diseases; Director, Yale Liver Center; Director, Center for Cell and Molecular Imaging
Research Interests
Cell Nucleus; Cell Biology; Digestive System Diseases; Liver; Calcium Signaling; Hepatocytes
Research Organizations
Cell Biology: Membrane Traffic

Cancer Center: Signal Transduction
Research Summary
My laboratory studies the mechanisms and effects of calcium signals in polarized epithelia. One aspect of our work is to define how calcium signals are differentially regulated in the nucleus and cytoplasm. This involves identification of distinct calcium stores and release mechanisms in the nucleus, and we are examining whether and how these are activated selectively by growth factors. The second aspect of our work is to examine how calcium waves and other calcium signals regulate secretion in polarized epithelia. Calcium waves preferentially begin in, the apical region of most secretory epithelia, and we are in the process of defining the mechanisms responsible for this. We also are using an adenoviral antisense approach to understand the relative roles of each IP3 receptor isoform in regulating calcium signaling and secretion in vitro and in vivo. Another major focus is to examine intercellular communication of second messenger signals and to establish the mechanism by which gap junctions act in coordinating intercellular spread of Ca2+ waves in isolated pairs and triplets of cells.
Specialized Terms: Mechanisms and effects of calcium signals in polarized epithelia; Effect of spatial organization of calcium signals on organ function regulation; Factors that organize Ca2+ waves in hepatocytes; Organization and effects of Ca2+ waves in cholangiocytes; Mechanisms and effects of Ca2+ signals in the nucleus

Rousey and Stevens Place Ninth at Paris Super World Cup
(Colorado Springs, Colo.) - Ronda Rousey (Wakefield, Mass. / USA Judo National Team FORCE / NYAC) and Travis Stevens (Glenville, N.Y. / USA Judo National Training Site at the Jason Morris Judo Center) placed ninth in the 70kg and 81kg divisions, respectively, at the Paris Super World Cup on Sunday.
After a first-round bye, Rousey was leading by a yuko (quarter-point) and a koka (smallest points) when she threw 2007 Pan American Champion Yuri Alvear (COL) with a sode (sleeve throw) for ippon (instant win).
In her next match, Rousey defeated Sally Conway (GBR) with a sumi gaeshi (sacrifice throw) for the waza-ari (half-point) that would decide the five-minute match.
Rousey's quarter-final match against 2004 Olympic and 2003 World Champion Masae Ueno (JPN). Much like their match at the 2007 Kano World Grand Prix, neither athlete scored during the five-minute regulation period. Unlike the Kano match, however, Rousey held Ueno scoreless in overtime as well. After 10 minutes, the match was decided by the referees who awarded the win to Ueno.
Rousey then dropped down to the repecharge where she lost by a mid-match penalty for passivity to Leire Iglesias (ESP), the #4-ranked player in the world to place ninth overall.
Travis Stevens (Glenville, N.Y. / USA Judo National Training Site at the Jason Morris Judo Center) won his first match in Golden Score (overtime) against four-time World Cup medalist Diogo Lima (POR) by pinning Lima and working an armbar for ippon.
Stevens then won his next match against 2005 Paris silver medalist Florian Rinnerthaler (AUT) by an o soto gari (outer leg throw) for a koka score.
After two long matches, Stevens ended his next round in the second minute when he threw six-time World Cup medalist Antonio Ciano (ITA) for ippon.
In the quarter-finals, Stevens fought 2006 Junior World Champion Alibek Bashkaev (RUS) who threw Stevens for ippon with a tai o toshi (body drop throw) en route to winning the gold medal.
Stevens then lost his next match by ippon to Azizov Mekhman (AZE), a fifth-place finisher at the 2004 Olympic Games.
Rick Hawn (Wakefield, Mass. / USA Judo National Team FORCE) competed in the 90kg division, but was thrown for ippon with a harai goshi (hip throw) by Elkham Mammadov (AZE), the #4-ranked player in the world.
Nina Cutro-Kelly (San Antonio, Texas / Universal Judo) lost her opening match in the 78kg division to three-time World Cup medalist Alena Eiglova (CZE) by a pair of waza-aris (half-point each).
Daniel McCormick (Wakefield, Mass. / USA Judo National Team FORCE) was pinned in his opening match in the +100kg division by eventual bronze medalist Grim Vuijsters (NED). In the repecharge, McCormick lost by ippon to Barna Bor (HUN), the two-time reigning European U23 Champion.

Middleburg Heights, OH (Dec. 28, 2011) – Thomas P. Perciak was honored as the 2011 recipient of Southwest General's prestigious Mighty Oak Award. Voted on by the Health System Board of Trustees, the award recognizes an individual for at least 10 years of service, during which the individual has made a significant contribution to Southwest General and exhibited outstanding leadership.
"It has been my pleasure to serve and represent the Southwest General family and it's community residents for the past 15 years," said Thomas P. Perciak, mayor, City of Strongsville. "I can only hope that my time and effort proved beneficial to all the patient care needs for our community residents. I am privileged to have received this prestigious award."
For the past 15 years, Mr. Perciak served as chairman of the Southwest Community Health Foundation Board of Trustees. In May 2009, he received the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy, Midwest Region, Distinguished Philanthropist award, recognizing him for his many contributions to Southwest General and the community. Additionally, Southwest General named The Thomas P. Perciak Residential Hospice, located in Strongsville, after him as a result of the capital campaign orchestrated by Mr. Perciak.
"Tom's skill as a consensus builder is outstanding, but he will be remembered equally for being a humble, unselfish and persevering leader," said Thomas A. Selden, president and CEO, Southwest General. "We are honored to have had the privilege of working with Tom during his many years as chairman of our Foundation Board of Trustees. We have all benefitted from his skill and knowledge. Tom has set the standard for all to emulate, and is certainly worthy of receiving the prestigious Mighty Oak Award."
Mr. Perciak's introduction to the Southwest General family began in 1992 when he served as co-chair of the "New Dimensions—Old Traditions Capital Campaign." Under Mr. Perciak's expert guidance as co-chair, the campaign exceeded its $1.5 million goal by an impressive $1 million. Following this, Mr. Perciak became a full-time member of the Foundation's Board of Trustees and, in 1996, accepted the position of chairman, a post he held until his resignation earlier this year. During his years of leadership, the Foundation's annual fundraising income consistently exceeded the $1 million mark, much of which is directly attributed to his leadership efforts.
"Tom has been a model for all community hospital board chairs to follow," explains Bobbie Simmerman, executive director, Southwest Community Health Foundation. "He gives generously, asks graciously, leads resolutely and then asks, 'Is there anything else I can do?'"
About Southwest Community Health Foundation

Topic: Wondering if i should use a table or several lists/divs
I want to essentially create a grid of books, where each section in the grid shows a book cover, title and author. Ive thought of either doing this in a table, or divs for the rows, and each div contains a list. The list items would store the image, title, and author. What you guys think would be the more correct way of doing things?

One year ago this month, Internet bookselling giant Amazon announced a landmark in the growth of e-books: the company's sales of e-books had for the first time exceeded its sales of printed books. This event is only one of many indications that the age of the e-book has arrived. Sales of mobile tablet and e-reader devices have skyrocketed. E-books are being adopted in classrooms and libraries across the United States. Printed books are not going away anytime soon, but e-books are here to stay. E-books also have great potential to transform government publishing, making the publications so critical to taxpayers' lives and the smooth functioning of our democracy freely accessible in the best new formats for reading.
Recognizing this trend and growing demand from its readers, the Office of the Historian began an e-book initiative in March, and today is releasing 12 more volumes of the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series for free download on its website. The Foreign Relations series, now in its 151st year of publication, is the official documentary history of U.S. foreign relations. The e-books released today include some of the most frequently cited and accessed volumes in the series, including volumes on covert operations in Guatemala in 1954, the Suez Crisis of 1956, the Berlin Crisis of 1959-60, the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, and the diplomacy with China in 1969-72 leading to Nixon's famous visit. The full list of released volumes and download links are available on the Office of the Historian e-book webpage. The Office is soliciting feedback about FRUS e-books during this "public beta" period in anticipation of publishing the volumes to major e-reader stores, where they will be available for free, later this year.
The Office of the Historian's e-book initiative is part of a larger, multi-year project to digitize the entire Foreign Relations series: each volume is being scanned and converted into volume into TEI, a format used widely in text digitization projects around the world. TEI is a mature, open, non-proprietary, standards-based XML format created by the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium. This format has enabled the Office's website to offer innovative tools for browsing, searching, and viewing the Foreign Relations series. By using TEI and an XML-based technology stack, including the open source native XML database eXist-db, the Office of the Historian is able to create web pages and e-books from the same XML source file without a costly reformatting of the original publication.
We leverage the open EPUB standard for e-books, to ensure our e-books can be read on a wide range of devices. EPUB files and their derivatives can even be read on desktop and laptop computers using free software, so readers can consume these e-books without additional investment in a tablet or dedicated e-reader device. These e-books can even be loaded into e-reader apps on smaller mobile devices, such as smartphones and the iPod Touch. In sum, our e-book launch today is the latest in a series of major initiatives undertaken by the Office of the Historian to advance government transparency, open government data, and the use of open standards and open source software.
Keep up with the latest e-book releases and other updates by following the Office of the Historian on Twitter @HistoryAtState.

Skip to comments.Miller Brewery Funds Gay Sadomasochistic Orgy on San Francisco Streets
Posted on 09/25/2007 3:43:41 PM PDT by wagglebee
SAN FRANCISCO, September 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Folsom Street Fair, a gay parade which has for years included full nudity and sex acts on public streets is set to take place again this year on September 30 with city approval, partial public funding and sponsorship by Miller Brewing Company. This year several Christian and pro-family groups have called for public scrutiny into the event as the ad for the event is a mockery of Christ's Last Supper.
The ad portrays Christ and His disciples as half-naked homosexual sadomasochists with the bread and wine representing Christ's broken body and blood replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys.
"The most unimaginable and vile acts of debauchery are commonplace during the fair," said Matt Barber, Policy Director for Cultural Issues with Concerned Women for America (CWA). "Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public 'gay' sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows 'gay' men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex - even group orgies - in broad daylight, while taxpayer funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing."
Catholic League president Bill Donohue focussed his attention on getting Miller to act on the anti-Christian ad. "There are several sponsors to this street fair, but most are local and represent niche markets; Miller is the only national household sponsor," said Donohue. "Furthermore, Miller has a record of acceding to requests from various segments of the population that have objected to certain ads: it has bowed to the wishes of Muslims, African-American clergy, lawyers and feminists by pulling ads deemed offensive. Surely it will do the same in this instance: the ad, like the event, is morally depraved. Indeed, it is the kind of ad that only the enemies of Christians would entertain."
"We have contacted Miller Brewing and expect that they will cooperate and do what is ethically right," he added.
Stephen Bennett, a former homosexual who runs a ministry for those struggling to overcome same-sex attraction disorder challenged mainstream gay groups to condemn the vile anti-Christian display. "I call upon the homosexual Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, GLSEN, and the Gay and Lesbian Task Force to publicly condemn this blatant mockery of Christians and Christianity by some within their community, and condemn this sick public display of immoral behavior," he said.
Bennett also called on the Miller Brewing Company to pull their endorsement of the event.
Concerned Women for America is calling on California's elected officials - Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Governor Schwarzenegger and Senators Feinstein and Boxer - to publicly condemn "this unprovoked attack against Christ and His followers."
To express concerns to Miller contact: Miller spokesman Julian Green at firstname.lastname@example.com
That is fine, I don't touch their swill.

Didn't Dick Butkus do Miller Lite commercials?
I'm drinking a Bud Light, and if they get into the act, will switch to Coors.
Ugly beer related story (Miller time? Never!)
Does anyone really drink that crap?
I never cared much for Miller anyway.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
And yet SF won't let the Marines film a commerical on their streets, but they will allow public sex acts.
Glad I don't drink miller beer products.
MY BOYCOTT of MILLER has just begun.....and I will broadcast it LOUDLY
>>Miller Brewery Funds Gay Sadomasochistic Orgy on San Francisco Streets<<
They probably drink a lot of beer.
If I were a stock holder I would want them to market to whomever could legally buy beer.
Gommorah on the Bay is repellant and Miller Beer sucks, too.
Catholic Ping List
Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
That town will sodomize itself into oblivion, but I doubt we'll be around for its downfall.
Sodom by the Sea.
San Fransisco has been a sewer for some time now. They wanted to ban the Blue Angels lately. The City by the Bay is a home to degenerate scum. Personally its Sam Adams, Guiness, or Zeigen Bock. And I will drink Dos Equis Amber. Like my dark beers, must be my German ancestors.
I don't much care for Miller's myself, I much prefer Foster's.
Nor do I. And swill it is.
Well that's it then, I'm drinking a 12 pack of Budweiser every evening.
Whoa....if you want a glimpse of Gomorrah, do an image Googleization of Folsom Street Fair.
The link doesn't work for me, it says my 'server is forbidden'. Well, maybe that's a good thing!
That is HYSTERICAL for many different reasons...
But most Christians don't even know this goes on. That's why it is important to put this information out into the public sector. I'm calling the California Senators and whoever will listen and voice my disgust.
My letter to Miller Brewery Company Rep
Dear Julian Green,
I've seen a lot of disturbing stuff in my days -— I've not had a sheltered existence -— but this marketing of sadomasochism via a mock-up of Christian themes is really one for Nightmare City.
It sure takes my appetite away. And speaking of appetite ——that's something that should concern you.
It is particularly distressing that Miller Brewing, which I always thought to be a pretty well-centered, normal American beverage business, sees sponsoring these Jesus-baiting Sadomasochism enthusiasts as just another commercial opportunity.
Hey, I'm in favor of beer and likewise in favor of commercial opportunities, but this is offensive. It it could cost you.
Please see that this obvious take-off on Jesus and the Apostles gets canned forever.
Please take your money elsewhere. Or we will.
Best Wishes,
Julianne Wiley
Honestly, I wouldn't have recognized the majority of items on the table as what they are described as - and the people at the table - well, they're not much different than gay parade attendees. However, the symbolic slam on Christian symbolism and Christ Himself... can't be missed.
If you've got the time,
We've got yer queer
(queer after queer)...
And the rest of the sponsors:
Yeah, disgusting, repulsive, perverse, and so forth. Actually, I have no problem with the people of San Fransisco turning their city into Soddom or Gommorrah. My problem is when they come up here and try and turn my town into their town. In the same way that I don't care about the perverse doings down there by the bay, my town and its elected officials should be able to ban such activity as they see fit. Yes, we might lose a few perverts who chafe under such rules, but the idea of local governance is critical to liberty, and we all might learn from watching San Fransisco exactly what happens to a community when you let the lunatics run the place.
What really disgusts me is that the same people taking part in this San Fransisco event are telling me that I not only need to accept them as they are, I should promote their lifestyle, and if I refuse, I'm some kind of slope-browed bigot.
This is quite appropriate considering that their beer SUCKS!
1) Was Bartles and Jaymes or Zima low-balling their sponsorhip offer or something?
2) Hmmmm, well the City is beautiful this time of year, so why not have some gay S&M orgies?
3) What the hell do they think this is, a 49ers game or something?
Beer Ping!
A low to medium ping list aimed at all of us who, well, love our beer
FReepmail rzeznikj at stout or GOP_Raider to be added or struck from the list
I don't, it tastes like bilgewater.
I thought they were talking about the halloween madness in San Fran. What, is this event the warm-up?
"When you got the time...They got the queer,... queer after queer"
Close to a pun quite witty indeed. I believe you have the makings of a bumper sticker.
Makes me glad I am not living in San Francisco.
or perhaps for the SF sickos
Now, I'll do good to hit one in 10 at 25 yards with with my Ruger bull-barrel .22!
Good fun! Screw Miller!
I just sent my e-mail to let them know I'm not patronizing an irresponsible company that supports sex deviates.
Who else is sponsoring this misguided activity?
Some of those names are pretty funny, actually. Looks like Miller is the only "mainstream" sponsor, unless some of those other businesses are just not in FL.
Yup. I've enjoyed cold Miller beers for years. That is coming to an abrupt stop. From here on out, I'm sticking with German imports and Guinness. (I can't stand Budweiser and Coors isn't even beer.)

Support Resource Center on Impaired Driving
Recently the U.S. Supreme Court decided a case about blood draws in impaired driving.
In order to enforce impaired driving laws, local law enforcement and prosecutors need to know exactly what the law is.
In Wisconsin, one could always depend on the Resource Center on Impaired Driving at the UW Law School to provide correct and up-to-date information related to impaired driving case law and statutes.
The Center will run out of funding on Oct.1 of this year. I believe it is funded by Wisconsin DOT grants. To my knowledge, there have been no news stories or editorials about this. I wrote a letter to the editor of State Journal some weeks ago.
The Center is used by law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, defense attorneys, the media, students and the general public. If you look at its website you can see what information is provided.
I worked in law enforcement for more than 33 years at the Madison Police Department. During that time I contacted the Center many times regarding questions that would come up. I also attended the training the Center provided in Appleton at its annual conference.
I think most people would agree that impaired driving is a huge problem in Wisconsin. I think it is very short sighted to defund the Resource Center.
