... and got some fresh hot waffles, shaped like the Cathedral with melted chocolate on, and some delicious Stollen. It was a one hour drive to Vaals / Holland. A cute little town. We had dinner at Mo'ment, an interesting little resturant. Duck was the speciality. Matt had huge ribs and H a vegetarian lasagna. Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal Vaals was where we stayed and it was lovely. 18C restored manor house, and we were in the renovated wing.

Thee caves were actually quarry caves where the limestone was removed by farmers and used in local buildings and also the Church domes.

Close to giving up, Sandra spotted an open brasserie just 3 miles from our proposed campsite. It wasn't cheap, but it did have trappist beer, "the best" mussels in Belgium, frites and mayo.

THE LAND ROSE UPMature
Tad Blackwell, in his battered, white, mail truck, rattled and bounced over the double set of rusted railroad tracks, on the north side of Monotoning, and continued to zoom like a rocket up Route 211.
The afternoon sun struck the old mail truck's dirt-encrusted windshield with dozens of sharp, silvery spears of blinding, white light. The tiny fan, which Tad had attached to the cracked dashboard and plugged into the cigarette lighter, whirred mightily, but did nothing to dispel the turgid heat, which blew like a thick, muddy stream through his open windows.
Sweat streamed in a ceaseless stream from his sodden, red hair and from underneath his arms. His blue shirt clung uncomfortably to his skin. For what seemed like the millioneth time that afternoon, he dragged the back of his hand across his forehead. Five seconds later, he used his fingertips to wipe a salty, tear-like drop of sweat from his left eye. Ten seconds later, he performed the same delicate operation on his right eye. As always, there was that sharp, stinging sensation, followed by that terrible moment of almost hysterical blindness. Then he blinked several times and his sight returned, and he was okay, again.
Tad had purchased his fifth can of Coke for the day at the 7-11, on Main Street, just before he'd headed out of town. He soda tasted cool and sugary sweet. When he applied the coldly sweating can to his forehead, he enjoyed the illusory moment of cool peacefulness it afforded his dulled senses. But the moment he returned the can to its plastic holder on the dashboard, another trenchant wave of hot air blasted through the windows, once again threatening to overwhelm and suffocate him. Tad drew in another deep draught of air through his parched and cracked lips, holding it a long time, before he reluctantly released it.
The relentless heat pressed against his tall, lanky body like the hot hands of an invisible demon with a wildly raging fever. It was all just so unbelievably unbearable!
Just up ahead, on Tad's right, a bulldoze trundled like a giant, yellow insect across a barren stretch of empty field, its burnished blade scraping up a roiling mist of fine, brown dust, which encircled the machine like a heavy cloud, and partially screened the operator from the view of those passing by on the highway.
A little further up the road stood an old barn and a farmhouse. Or rather, what still remained of the farmhouse were the partial remains of one wall. A wooden staircase without a bannister mounted to a door frame wihout a door. The blinding white glare of the sun shone brilliantly through the empty door frame. A wrecking ball had reduced the rest of the farmouse into a small mountain of broken bricks and splintered boards.
Tad, like almost everyone else in Monotoning, knew that Goody Carlisle's grandparents had once owned that barn and that demolished farmhouse, and that vacant, mud-baked field. Goody was their only grandchild. They had bequeathed their farm to Goody in their will. Goody's grandmother Amelia had died five years ago. His grandfather Enoch had passed away, just this spring. A week after Goody buried his grandfather's remains in the Lutheran cemetery, on Fish Street, in town, he sold the farm, house, and all 1,111 acres of farm land to a developer for an undisclosed sum, which everyone in town agreed, was an obscene fortune.
Tad made a quick right at the Wa-Wa store, (which had only been there for a year and was already threatening to put his beloved 7-11 out of business), and continued on up Old Lumber Mill Road. He glanced in his rear view mirror and saw a grey, gleaming SUV and at least four other cars, brand new and shiny, trailing close behind him.
"Back off," he angrily commanded the murky reflection in his rear view mirror.
The anonymous woman in the SUV---a cell phone clung like a malignant tumor the right side of her face---immediately eased off her as pedcal.
Tad glanced to his left. Five years ago, when he'd graduated from high school, all the land on that side of the road had been occupied by a giant corn field, divided into sections by a ragged hedgerow of scraggly, old trees. Now, it was over grown with at least two hundred town houses, "modestly priced" (that seemingly innocuous phrase alwasys made Tad snort with laughter) between $250,000 and $500,000. Two-and-three stories they were, built of wood and stone and brick. They had obviously been designed to look regal and manorial in style, but to Tad, they didn't look anywhere near as strong or solid, or permanent as the old stone-and-brick farmhouses that had once dotted this neck of the woods.
Someone had though to at least save the hedgerows. But on the other side of the hedgerows rose at least another hundred or so townhouses, all tightly packed togeter, without even enough room for a person to sneeze in private, without his neighbor hearing him. Penn's Woods, they called the place. tad had a sneaking suspicion that that gentle, old Quaker would roll over in his grave if he ever found out what the "land pirates," as Tad liked to call them, had done to his once-peaceful woods in his name.
On Tad's right, there was still one big, open, empty meadow. The meadow was all that remained of Goody Carlisle's grandparent's farm. The meadow rolled in a great, green, undulating wave, back down to the highway.
He turned onto Iroquois Lane. The macadam road abruptly gave way to a sunken bed of cracked, brown dirt and an uneven strea of runnelled gravel. A half-dozen, barely finished houses lined both sides of the make-shift steet. The bare, wooden skeletons of a dozen other, yet-to-be finished houses rose bleakly in the shimmering distance. Up ahead, the road prematurely dead-ended against what was left of the wild, green meadow.
Tad stopped in front of the third house, on his right, and clambered out of his mail truck.
The rough sidewalk was splattered with dried clods of mud and straw, and grass, as was the curved sidewalk leading up to the front porch. What currently passed for the front yward was a soupy morass of mud. Here and there, a few shoots of tender, young grass bravely poked their spear-shaped shafts out of the watery grime.
Someone had planted a sign in the middle of all that mess. On a large sheet of cardboard, with a black magic marker, they'd written: This house was built by Ingram Construction, Inc! The heat and air conditioning doesn't work! The electric doesn't work! The basement floods every time it rains!"
Tad tried the doorbell, which did work.
Barbara Hendricksen answered the door. Mrs. Hendricksen was a small, brawny brunette. She and her husband were still yet another yuppie puppy couple who'd fled New York City for the supposed peace and safety of the Valley. Thousands of New Yorkers had flooded into the Valley like an army of locusts, over the last decade, and they'd brough their big city crime and violence, and their obscenely high cost of living with them---and they had the gall to call it progress. Mrs. Hendricksen regarded Tad for a moment with dark, suspicious eyes.
"Hi," he felt obliged to explain. "I'm your new mailman. I'm sorry to bother you. But I have a certified letter for you and I need a signature."
Mrs. Hendricksen's eyes brightened and she flashed Tad a friendly smile. "Please come in. It's much too hot to stand outside."
"You got that right," Tad agreed with a crooked grin, as he followed Mrs. hendricksen into her living room. The small room smelled and paint and varnish, and several other unpleasant odors.
"Please excuse the mess," she said. As you can see, we're still in the process of moving in."
"That's okay. If you think this is a mess, you should see my condo. Now, that's a mess!"
Mrs. Hendricksen laughed. "Can I get you a glass of water?"
"Nah, that's all right. I thank you for the offer, though."
He proffered her the certified letter and his pen.
Mrs. Hendricksen's eyes grew hard and cold as marbles and her nostrils flared when she read the return address in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope. "I should have known. Do you mind if I open this, first?"
She sliced open the envelope with the sharp edge of one pointed fingernail and extracted a thick sheaf of creamy, white pages. She eagerly scanned the top page.
"Do you know what this is?" she demanded, slapping the paper with her red-painted fingernails. "This is a letter from Ingram Construction, Inc. If we don't remove that sign from our front yard, they're going to sue us for slander.
"Well, screw 'em," she said with a vicious snarl. "Ingram Construction is a no-good bunch of crooks and my husband and I want the whole world to know it. They cut corners everywhere they could. Every word on that sign, out there, is true---and more. And not only our home, but our neighbor's homes, as well. Well, I've got a big surprise for Ingram Construction. We all got together, last night, right here, in this living room, and decided we're going to sure Ingram Construction for faulty labor and breach of contract, and whatever else we can think to sue them for. My husband and several of the neighbor men are out, right now, with a lawyer, filing the necessary papers...Now, where do I sign?"
Tad showed her where to sign.
"Well, it was nice meeting you," he said. "And I hope you and your neighbors win your law suit."
Mrs. hendricksen seemed surprised that a stranger like Tad would care about her legal troubles. "Why, thank you," she managed to stammer.
Tad hurried back to his mail truck and drove back to the entrance of Iroquois Lane. He turned to his right, back onto Old Lumer Mill Road.
As he came around a wide curve, at the crest of the hill, he glanced at the corn field, on his left. What he saw there made his eyes bulge in their sockets and his jaw drop in shock and disbelief.
For as long as he could remember, the old-timers in The Valley---especially the farmers, of course---had had a saying about the annual corn crop. "Knee-high by the Fourth of July."
Well, not this year, it seemed. It was only the second week in June and most of the spindly, yellow-brown stalks that still hadn't keeled over beneath the sun's merciless glare stood only about as high as Tad's calves. Which really wasn't that high, at all. Each stunted stalk was brown and sere in the blistering heat of the sun. They limped in ragged rows toward the blazing horizon like the last, lost remnants of a terribly defeated army in desperate retreat.
Tad descended into a deep hollow. He came back up again, on the other side, and flew around another wide curve, on the narrow, back-country road. He glanced at the field on his right.
The last time he'd driven this way, only a week before, that entire field had been filled with sunflowers, so vibrant and alive that their dazzling profusion had seemed to surpass the golden hue of the sun. It had literally hurt Tad's eyes to look at them.
Now, all their pedals and pods, or whatever they were, were gone, vanished, disappeared. Like the corn, the tall, tenacious, pencil-thin stalk of each sunflower was withered and burned black from the cruel and hellsh heat.
For the past seven days, all the meterologist on all the local news programs, here and in Philly, which was only fifty miles away, had all agreed that this had been the hottest week on record in the last one hundred years. For the last five days, the mercury had topped a sizlling 101 degrees. Health officials on television and on the radio had repeatedly advised people not to venture outside into the sweltering heat, unless it was absolutely necessary, and to try and stay inside, where it was cool, stick to the shade, as much as possible, and keep their bodies fully hydrated with water and juice; unfortunately, for Tad, soda didn't count. So far, there had been no power shortages or brown-outs, or any deaths, that Tad had heard of.
Tad tromped his sneakered foot down hard on the gas, flattening the pedal against the matted floorboard. The old mail truck skipped like a stone over the bumpy country road. He was suddenly anxious to get back to the cool, dim safety of the Monotoning post office, as quickly as possible.

Introducing Two New Unleaded and Ethanol Free Racing Fuels
Today, at the Performance Racing industry Show, Gulf Racing Fuels announced that it is introducing two new unleaded gasolines for racing cars and aviation engines in 2017.
MACH 100 is the latest grade of unleaded racing fuels introduced by Gulf Racing Fuels for 2017. The unleaded racing fuel fills the need for a moderate race gas that has detonation resistance and excellent lubricity. Safe for catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, the fuel can be used in any late model street car for excellent performance in a wide range of horsepower levels.
Next, Gulf enters the aviation fuel market for the first time in a generation. Gulf will offer its unleaded aviation gasoline in 2017. The unleaded gasoline meets ASTM D-4814 standards for light aviation aircraft engines including Lycoming, Continental and Rotax. This is the first commercially available unleaded aviation gasoline that will be available at numerous facilities in the United States. The company will feature this fuel at the air shows in 2017 including EEA Airventure Oshkosh July 24-30, 2017.
Gulf Racing Fuels at the 2016 PRI Show
Gulf Racing Fuels is excited for our biggest presence ever at the PRI show! We've moved to a larger space: Booth #6039, neighboring the Penske 50th anniversary exhibit. Not only is the booth now larger, but we will also have a Gulf radical car in the booth!
The Gulf Mach series of unleaded fuels is great for the modern, high horsepower car. It's detonation resistance is proven, replacing leaded fuel up to 118 octane, with better lubricity, stability, storage life and flexibility than leaded fuels. You can safely use it in closed loop operation, as it does not harm O2 sensors. It is also not harmful to catalytic converters, so it's not only great for the purpose built track car, but also the weekend warrior who sees plenty of street time. It can also be blended with pump gas. Simply add the amount of fuel needed to reach your desired octane, or run straight 116 unleaded!
Gulf Sponsored Drivers to make appearances at PRI
Come meet our sponsored drivers at the 2016 PRI show! Mach 116 has been showcased awesomely by Gulf sponsored drivers Brian and Michelle Devilbiss! Brian's 2013 GT500 (AKA: The Devil's Reject) run consistent mid-low 7 second 1/4 mile times on Mach 116 in the 185-188 MPH range.
Michelle's new edge mustang (The Devil's Revenge) also puts down brutal power and runs on Mach 116. These cars are nasty and we couldn't ask for better brand representation!
Rounding off the Gulf Mach lineup of sponsors, Jim Roberts, Kennady Jones and Ryan "Rhino" Jones continue to shine in NMRA Truck & Lightning, all running on the venerable Gulf Mach 110. The Mach Series of fuels offers the ultimate in consistency, so driver input, not fuel performance, remains the number one variable (as it should be).
Last, but certainly not least, we have Justin Jordan, showcasing Gulf E98 in his 7 second, also street legal Mustang. This car runs deep into the 7's and Justin just has a knack for winning. We like to think it has a little bit to do with his fuel choice, too! Justin owns Jordan Performance & Racing in Riverview (Tampa) FL and offers custom tuning services, including race tunes with Gulf Racing Fuels. Justin uses HP Tuners and AEM stand alone fuel management, depending on the application. He has grown quite a following of mustang enthusiasts who seek his custom tuning services.
Justin will be primarily in the MBRP booth at PRI, but will also be making appearances in the Gulf booth!
Our staff and drivers will be on hand throughout the PRI show to answer your questions and we'll be there signing up dealers. Gulf Racing Fuels offer a huge value to the customer and a profitable sale for the distributor and dealer. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment at PRI, please send an email to email@example.com and we will schedule you in. Otherwise, just stop by booth #6039 for a photo op with the Gulf Radical SR3 RSX, to meet our drivers and to learn more about the entire line of Gulf Racing Fuels. We hope to see you there!
Gulf MARINE Fuel Blended with Isobutanol from Gevo Inc. is Suitable and Safe for Racing Boats and Recreational Marine Engines
Gulf MARINE biofuel with isobutanol is one of the first fuels on the market to comply with biofuel recommendations issued last week by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC).
The new recommendations come after five years of extensive marine industry testing of fuel containing isobutanol, a renewable biofuel alternative provided by Gevo Inc. for recreational boating. Those testing the fuel included the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Argonne National Laboratory, Volvo-Penta, Bombardier Recreational Products, Evinrude, Yamaha, Mercury Marine, Honda, Tohatsu, Indmar and the U.S. Coast Guard.
The testing was undertaken to confirm that recreational boaters could power their engines with gasoline blends that contain isobutanol as a replacement for ethanol, and experience fewer problems and better performance while still meeting government-mandated Renewable Fuel Standards.
Gulf MARINE fuel is made with Gevo-supplied isobutanol at a 12.5% ratio to gasoline. Gulf offers two octane choices: 93 and 100. Gulf also offers a 16.1% blend for racing applications only.
Gulf MARINE delivers on the primary benefits of isobutanol-blended gasoline, which include improved moisture and water resistance, higher energy content, and preventing phase separation in the fuel system and reducing engine corrosion.
Isobutanol is a registered fuel additive with blends of up to 12.5% allowed for on road gasoline. Gulf MARINE fuel is available at participating Gulf retailers and marinas in factory-sealed packages of 5 gallons and 55 gallons.
"Last year, we successfully launched our isobutanol-blended gasoline for recreational boating use, and the endorsement by the NMMA and ABYC will help more boaters know that isobutanol-blended gasoline is a safe and effective biofuel," said Jess Hewitt, President of HYPERFUELS, the exclusive licensee of Gulf Racing Fuels."
Pat Gruber, CEO of Gevo, Gulf Racing's isobutanol supplier, said, "We have been working with Gulf Racing Fuels since 2013 to develop a commercially available gasoline using isobutanol. The endorsement from these boating organizations validates this work and will be a boon for isobutanol-blended fuels worldwide."

Paul Mumford: Training and Motivation
Meet Paul Mumford, Personal Trainer and creator of The Accumulator workout. Sundried find out what gets Paul motivated and what it takes to have a successful career in fitness.
Have you always been so dedicated to exercising and eating right?
Not at all. At school I was the fat kid who hated anything that brought me out in even the mildest of sweats. I'd take great pride in creating a myriad of excuses as to why I couldn't do cross country on any given week and always got picked last for any team. As a young adult I drank, smoked and ate pretty much what I liked while working crazy hours as a DJ. My light bulb moment came in the shape of a big back injury sustained while working in a small plane (don't ask). I wound up in hospital on all manner of drugs followed by months of physio. I guess you could say that I got a big kick up the backside and that, coupled with an inspirational Canadian Physio made me realise that I wasn't all that indestructible after all.
What persuaded you to pursue a career in fitness?
I guess it was that whole back injury thing that did it. Primarily my physio taught me how to use my core to protect my permanently fragile lumbar spine. At the time, my surgeon telling me I'd never run again was not a big problem but as I got more fascinated by the control I had over my own body I decided to prove him wrong. Sixteen years later and I'm a barefoot running coach. I proved him wrong big time.
Now though I totally get it. I understand that we have amazing bodies that can do amazing things given the right input.
What made you decide to start The Accumulator workouts?
It really happened by accident. I wanted to motivate myself one Sunday morning while out running. I had an idea to run a total of 50k over one month and tweet a photo every time I added to my goal. #50kinmay caught the attention of hundreds of people and by the end of the month I had been tweeted many photos of total strangers running in some pretty amazing places. By the end of that year I had dreamt up several similar challenges and more and more people came along for the ride. Finally I wanted to see how far I could take it and filmed 30 videos, one for each day with a new exercise added each day. The Accumulator was born and here we are nearly 3 years later.
With hindsight I can see that The Accumulator is incredibly clever (I can say that right)? It's a perfect tool to motivate the unfit to change their ways because it's gradual rather than many programmes of its kind that put people off by expecting you to 'go hard or go home'. At the same time it challenges the people who already love exercise (many of my original members are still doing it). Also by taking out the need for equipment, much space or much time it ticks many other boxes and deals with many of the excuses people use to get out of exercising in the first place.
What is the best advice you could give to someone starting out?
Ooh, let's go with two things, real simple.
- Your perfect body will not arrive tomorrow. If you haven't looked after yourself for years it will take time to feel different and look different. However each day is one day closer to where you want to be and one day further away from where you are. That was a bit deep wasn't it?
- Any temporary change will only give you temporary results. I love this quote (don't know who said it). I could expand but there would really be no point. Quick diets and six week plans don't work. You need to do this stuff forever.
If you could do any workout and every condition was perfect (weather, kit, space) what would you be doing and what is your favourite bit of fitness kit, how long have you had it and why?
OK let's answer both at once here. Favourite bit of kit? My body. I've had it for 47 years, it was given to me for free and it gets better the more I use it. Oh and I can take it everywhere with me so I can exercise whenever I fancy.
So logically my favourite workout uses my body and nothing else. The variety of exercises I can do are virtually limitless and there is always a new way to challenge myself so it never gets boring. Also I never split my body up when I exercise. My body is one muscle hanging in 640 different places and not 640 individual muscles.
How do you balance being a writer, PT, parent, training and a social life as well as making guest appearances on TV and radio?
Well firstly my family and the ones I love are my priority. They are always first. As far as everything else is concerned, I truly believe that by doing what I love it will never feel like work and never be stressful. So if I don't want to do something I won't do it. I've had to learn this though, once upon a time I said yes to everyone and everything. That was stressful. I guess learning to say no once in awhile can be a good thing. Plus I think I am more valuable to someone if I'm enjoying myself.
What made you decide to work with Sundried?
I love helping people, that's why I do what I do. Nothing gives me a buzz more. In business I always try to champion companies and brands I believe in. I'm proud to walk into a gym and stand in front of a camera wearing Sundried clothing because I believe in the brand. I have been nothing but impressed by the quality of the product and the people who deliver it.

Throughout the course of her history, the
This new type of war,` in terms of objectives, has presented a number of problems for the American people, for it has injected into their ideas of warfare a strange, yet very old, concept. This is the Clausewitzian dictum that "war is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means."1 In other words, Americans have been thrust into the old world situation of fighting a limited war, a war that is primarily political, and thus a war that is alien to their traditional way of thinking about this interruption of the normal progress of human events.
If the conflicts in
In any comparison of the wars in
The objective of the war was also different in each case. In
The Korean War also differed from the
Finally, the Korean War was waged when memories of World War II were still
fresh and by a generation that knew war with all its ramifications.
The Korean War came as a sudden shock to the American people. Their initial
reaction was to ask where
Americans reacted quickly and soon threw themselves, at least in spirit, behind the United Nations effort. A poll conducted by the National Opinion Research Center in June 1950, immediately after the war began, found that 81 percent believed the United States had done the right thing by going into Korea.3 Most respondents also believed it would be a short war, 67 percent indicating it would last one year or less.4 War had not been far from the minds of many people for some time prior to Korea, however, for in May 1950 Public Opinion Quarterly noted that 57 percent of the Americans polled indicated that the United States would be involved in a war within five years.5
The immediate call was for preparedness, although in March 1950 a poll summarized in Public Opinion Quarterly found that 59 percent of Americans believed our military spending was adequate or excessive.6 Almost every periodical examined commented on the sad state of our military machine in the days following the outbreak of hostilities, and by August the willingness to increase taxes to support a larger military was evident in 70 percent of the people, whereas only 14 percent had supported such a move in November in 1949.7
Over all, the first reactions to the Korean War were approval and support,
both from the press and from the public. According to opinion polls, from 65 to
81 percent supported the government position and believed that the
The great ardor of Americans was soon dampened by events in
Once again Americans were subjected to a rude shock. In its 13 November 1950
issue Time noted that a few Communist Chinese troops had been captured
in Korea and further speculated about the possibility of Chinese intervention,
a move which it believed would threaten to bring on World War III.13 One
week later the New Republic also brought this situation into focus but
tended to down-grade the power of the Chinese.14 It would seem that
most Americans did not share the view of the New Republic, for the
percentage of those who thought we had done the right thing by going into Korea
dropped rapidly to about 55 percent in the Survey Research Center polls. As the
Chinese intervention turned into a rout of the U.N. forces, the public continued
to lose ns enthusiasm. By February 1951 those approving our action in Korea
dropped to 39 percent.15 At about the same time a poll by the Public
Opinion Quarterly found that 66 percent believed the United States should
pull out of Korea.16 Additional evidence of reaction to the Chinese
threat was apparent when 73 percent of those polled felt that if the U.N.
forces got to the 38th parallel again they should stop there. This compares
with 64 percent who had favored going on into
Certainly the frustration and confusion of the American people were at no time during the Korean fighting more evident than when President Truman dismissed General MacArthur. The whole episode was a great disillusionment to Americans and brought into sharp focus the questions of foreign policy, containment, Asian policy, and. related issues. For not only did the man in the street have some misgivings about his nation's being involved in Korea, he now wondered about the military and the Administration: Just who was right, the General or the President? Anyone following the news media during this period certainly got mixed opinions. The New York Times, for example, carried numerous articles on both sides of the issue. It noted that the world press, in general, approved the action of President Truman, while the American people raffled behind the dismissed General. Most Americans did not really examine the issues, according to the Times, but rather based their judgments on the personalities of the men involved. Ten days after Mr. Truman took his action, the Times concluded that "the man in the street and the woman in the home take the side of the dismissed General while the press leads a debate on the issues"18 Newsweek shared this conclusion as it found the nation "overwhelmingly pro-MacArthur" a week after his dismissal, but a month later it noted that its mail was less than two to one in favor of the General.19 Several major periodicals, the New Republic for one, applauded the ending of the MacArthur reign and believed that our efforts to achieve peace in Korea, without insisting on total victory in the MacArthur manner, would now go forward much more rapidly.20 Over all, one can conclude that, at least in the mind of the public, MacArthur came out on top. A poll by George Belknap, reported in Public Opinion Quarterly, found that after the smoke had cleared 56 percent supported MacArthur while only 26 percent took the Truman side.21
From this point in the Korean War until the armistice agreement, on 27 July
1953, public support of the conflict varied with the success or failure of the
peace talks and ceasefire proposals. For example, in November 1951, when a
cease-fire line was agreed upon, 55 percent of those polled by the
What, then, can be concluded about the American public during the period of
the Korean War? First, it seems obvious that they like to back a winner. If one
charts the course of American public support of the war against the fortunes of
American forces, he finds that there is almost a direct correlation. When
things were good, public backing was high, as in the days following the landing
Second, although the American people are great backers of the underdog and
champions of human rights, it does not take long to dampen this spirit if
things start to go badly for their cause. At the beginning of the war Americans
praised the Administration for its strong and courageous stand, but less than
six months later a very significant percentage were quite sure that our
intervention had been a gross error. This reaction, I would suggest, is in the
tradition of American Asian policy, which has always involved a great deal of
talking and pious hoping but little concrete action and a concerted effort to
run no risks in that part of the world. This point is illustrated by a poll
taken in January 1951, when things did not look at all good in
A third conclusion that can be drawn is the degree to which American foreign
policy, especially when related to war, is seen as a personal policy of the
President and identified directly with him. When the course of public opinion
about the Truman Administration is traced, its popularity and support seem to
vary in relation to the events in
Fourth, I would suggest that
Americans had entered
These figures suggest one more aspect of the American character at the time
of the Korean War. The high hopes and noble aspirations of Americans seemed to
fade when what initially appeared to be a victorious crusade got bogged down in
the many factors involved in limited war. It was obvious that, as the Korean
conflict dragged on, more and more people questioned its advisability, its
course, and the wisdom of Americans for ever getting involved in the first
place. An American soldier on the second retreat from

In January 1965 a Gallup poll found respondents believing four to one that
the South Vietnamese were being defeated, two to one that they could not form a
stable government, but also two to one that the United States was right in
becoming militarily involved.27 As the year progressed, public
opinion came to favor the American commitment even more. U.S. News and World
Report published the results of a Harris-CBS poll in December 1965 which
found that 65 percent favored keeping our forces in
The most significant poll of 1966 on the question of
These 1966 prevailing views are little modified when compared to the trends of the first half of 1967. For example, in February 1967 a Harris poll found that 55 percent believed intensified military activity would bring Hanoi to the conference table, 67 percent supported the bombing of North Vietnam, and 71 percent saw the war as a long affair.30 A similar poll, published in Newsweek in July 1967, found only 6 percent favoring withdrawal from Vietnam and 72 percent supporting the bombing of the North.31

Telugu actor Pawan Kalyan has become a big actor in the recent time, with few of his last films being blockbuster. His films are action packed like Rajini's films.
Apparently, Suriya has turned out to be the biggest actor of Tamil cinema now. His 'Thuppakki' being the second Tamil film to cross Rs 100 crore mark after Rajinikanth starrer 'Enthiran'.
Akshay Kumar can not just tickle a few funny bones, but his daredevil stunts in films also make him a strong contender in this list.
Ajay Devgn, who was once known for his serious roles, is now mostly featured in comedy genre. His last release 'Son of Sardar' has entered into Rs 100 crore club.
Like Rajinikanth, Tamil actor Ajith Kumar also started his career with supporting roles, only later getting recognition with films like 'Kadhal Kottai', 'Aval Varuvala', 'Kadhal Mannan', 'Mankatha' and 'Billa 2'.
The reports are around that Suriya is one of the highest paid actors of Tamil cinema. Do you think he can get into Rajinikanth's shoes?
Like Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna has also forayed into Bollywood. Though, he is certainly one of the biggest name in South cinema, but he has a long way to go to be recognised as the next Rajinikanth.
Telugu actor Mahesh Babu, who is referred as Prince by his fans, can make anybody fall for him with his acting skills and charm. This chocolate boy is as good in action films as he is in romantic-drama.
Do we need to say anything about Jr NTR? His name can only add success to any film.
Salman Khan's name has become synonym for success in Bollywood. No matter what critics say about his films, the last few flicks of the actor has become one of the highest grosser Hindi films of all time. Despite that he also has a colossal fan following. Like Rajinikanth's film, Salman carries his own style in each of his films.
Telugu actor Allu Arjun, with a career spanning over a decade, has given many hits at the box office. This stylish actor can grab eyeballs with his action performance.
Telugu star Daggubati Venkatesh, often credited as Victory Venkatesh by his fans, has won seven Nandi Awards and four Filmfare Awards (South). His last films were successful at the box office.
Vikram's stunts in his films are jaw dropping. This Tamil actor also enjoys good fan following and has some good films to his credit.
Rajinikanth, who turned 62 today, doesn't require any introduction. Many actors have come and gone, but Rajini has maintained his legacy not only in South but also in North India. The kind of love bestowed on him is astronomic. Salman Khan, Pawan Kalyan, Vijay and Akshay are among others, who are following in his footsteps on the silver screen.
Though Vidyut Jamwal needs to establish himself but his performance in 'Force', 'Billa 2' among others deserve accolades. Vidyut played grey character in most of his films. Rajinikanth too started his career by playing negative roles.
Rajinikanth's son-in-law, Dhanush is as good in action films as he is in romantic drama. He has become a known face worldwide with his song, 'Kolaveri Di'.

Interview A-0328-2, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
Interview with Terry Sanford, August 20 and 21, 1976
Terry Sanford served as the governor of North Carolina from 1961 to 1965 and also as a Democratic U.S. Senator from 1986 to 1993. This interview is the second of two; it covers his political activities since 1960. It starts with his description of how he assembled a campaign team and raised funds to run for governor in 1960. He also explains how he made decisions as governor regarding food tax, tobacco tax, and civil rights. He continued to play a role in state politics after the end of his term, though he never wanted to be a career politician. Sanford participated in national Democratic politics before 1960, and he tells the story of his contributions to the National Democratic Convention in 1960, including his eventual support for John F. Kennedy's presidential nomination. Sanford decided to run for president in 1972 and 1976, but he did not succeed. Instead, he accepted the presidency of Duke University. While discussing that position, he describes changes in higher education in North Carolina since 1964. He also mentions how the role of media in politics has changed campaigns. He ends the interview by explaining why he believes that progress in North Carolina has failed since 1964.

'You are WHAT! How are we going to feather bed all those 60 - 70 Grand per year jobs for sweeping g the streets that never get swept if you put a bunch of unemployed workers in those rolls.'
Never going to happen. Most states have UE insurance at $300 - $450 PER WEEK and that is for people at the HIGHEST earning level. People who made Seventy Eighty and 100K per year or more are sitting on UE because the available jobs are NOTY for them. They can not get hired even if they wanted them because the employer knows the second they get a better job or one in their field, they are gone.

Returning the Horn Of Jurgen
Ryan" Kate my love I have the horn of Jurgen we must return to the Greybeards"
Kate" OK get in dragon born"
Ryan and Kate made haste to return to the Greybeard's sanctuary as the sooner they got back and gave them the horn the sooner they could battle against the dragon and put an end to all the suffering.
After a couple of hours they arrive back and Ryan dashes out of the carriage to give the Greybeards the horn.
Ryan"Greybeards I have returned with the Horn of Jurgen just like you requested"
The Greybeards" Thank you Dragon born you have no completed your final test"
Ryan" Awesome so can I go after the dragon now?"
The Greybeards" Yes you can go after the dragon as you have proven that you are truly dragon born"
Ryan" Thank you and I will make everyone proud"
The Greybeards" You have already made everyone proud but go now and complete you destiny good luck my friend"
Ryan" Thank you for everything and thanks for wishing me luck but I don't need luck"
The quest that Ryan went on to seek knowledge hungrily was now completed and with that he waved goodbye to the Greybeards as they were another chapter of his life that he had completed and it was time he moved on so the next chapter could enfold.

"We knew coming in tonight that this was going to be a challenge," said Horton. "We had to fight all night as a team. This was a gift from God as far as my performance today. I know I can perform day in and day out, but him giving me the strength as far as what we do in practice every day is what really helps me out on gameday."
It was a change in strategy that his coach put into the game plan that he says helped him break loose. The change in strategy to get Horton into open space seemed to work, as he carried the ball 18 times for 77 yards and 1 TD. He also caught 3 passes for 66 yards and 1 TD.
"My coach wanted to spread me out because he knew their game plan was going to be to stop the run. He wanted to give me an opportunity in the open field and in space to make plays and tonight it worked out well as we got the win," said Horton. After committing to the University of Kentucky back in April to play running back, Horton knew other schools would most likely continue recruiting him.
"Some schools still try to recruit me, but I don't pay any attention to that because my heart is set on Kentucky, my friends are going there, the great coaching staff is there, in fact I think some of them were here tonight watching Dorian Hendrix (another Kentucky commit) and I play," Horton said. "It's nothing but family and love down there, so you know I wouldn't give that up for the world."
Horton is planning on heading to some Kentucky football games this season when he can. However, he is most looking forward to being an early enrollee at Kentucky after the new year.
"I plan on taking my official visit for a basketball game probably in December," said Horton. "I will be enrolling after the All American game in January. I'm just really excited to start early and being a part of the turnaround at UK."

Recyclebank – An Analysis
Published: April 26, 2009
Many people know recycling is the right thing to do, but they don't have the motivation to actually do it. Now, New York-based Recyclebank... tracks how much you recycle [and] awards you points, which you can then redeem for rewards such as groceries... Recyclebank has more than doubled recycling rates in every community that's deployed its program.
Recyclebank helps municipalities dramatically increase recycling by rewarding households for the amount they recycle. [They provide] ... every household with a recycling container ... embedded with a chip that is read by the mechanical arm retrofitted onto a ...city's recycling truck. In this way, [they] identify which households recycle and how much. Households can then log onto [their] Website and see ... how much they recycled and how many points they have earned. Points can be redeemed at over 400 local and national stores.
They expected to be providing services in 15 states by the first quarter of 2009.
The website also shows how many trees and gallons of oil were saved by recycling. Mnicipalities benefit because they pay less to landfills and ... reward partners benefit because they get access to ... in-home advertising....
Municipalities pay ... a cut of the savings ... generated by diverting waste from the landfill. For instance, if municipalities are currently sending 100,000 tons of waste to the landfill per year at $70 per ton, and they are able to get people to recycle and divert half of this waste stream, it results in a savings of $3.5 million. Their fees come out of these savings. They also generate revenues through advertising from people coming to redeem their points.
Through December 23, 2008, they claim to have saved 574,935 trees (measured by tonnage of paper recycled) and 38,405,690 gallons of oil (measured by pounds of plastic, aluminum, and glass recycled).
According to Business Week families can earn up to $400 a year in Recyclebank points. Recyclebank, which raised $30 million last year on top of $15 million in an earlier round, takes a cut of the savings that the cities get from reducing how much trash they send to landfills.

Fifth and a friend is another "approach" to getting completely wasted. It's pretty straightforward and exactly how the name reads- two people share a fifth and try to finish it. There's about 17 shots in a fifth so it's not that bad, especially if you have a guy partner, but the way it's approached gets you really fucked up. It's like a race for who can finish first.
We were playing last night with Jamie's friends from home who we didn't know so it was kind of confusing how the night would turn out. We got there and after all the hype just ended up taking shots like normal – not fifth and a friend. I got fucked up but still what was the point of making the game such a big deal and not even executing it!! Oh well it was probably for the better. It was awkward there because we knew no one and it wasn't exactly the best setting to mingle. Sooo we went to Lauren's friends for a bit and took more shots but this girls apartment was so small it was too packed for us. We literally went all over town last night and this is when we literally went across town to an apartment where we knew of like 3 possible parties. The one was Emma's friend from one of her organizations she's involved in. She warned us he was weird but had a lot of alcohol. I don't care what they're like if they have alcohol and are willing to share then I like the idea of it and ill definitely go. They had gin buckets which literally tastes like lemonade and they were squirting them into our mouths with a turkey Baster hahah. It was okay for a little but the guys were weird and were loving us and their weird girl friends did not like that. So we left and went across town AGAIN back to basically where we were before and went to see the boys. They were all just hanging out doing nothing and it was awkward and boring so we left after a little. Well the main reason we left was because Jamie and her ex boyfriend, Carl, who lives there are on such weird terms and Lauren thought it was time to go because Carl was being weird. They broke up a couple weeks ago because Carl thought he wasn't treating her right. It's so weird because its so obvious he loves her. Like anytime were out he's so weird because he tries not to be affectionate towards her but he can't help it. Or he's always talking about her to me and my friends. It's a weird situation and I don't understand it but I'm sure there's more to it than I know. Anyway, we left here and came back to my apartment. I took two hits of weed and just went to bed but apparently people came over and were hanging out. I was glad to just pass out though so I wasn't mad about it. And plus… I didn't drunk eat! Woo!

The questions are bound to come up a hundred times this week: Are the New England Patriots vulnerable? Is this the New York Jets' big chance?
You've heard this storyline for more than a year, and it will be on the forefront this week because the Patriots are decimated as they prepare to face the Jets Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The latest news broke Tuesday night, with Yahoo! Sports reporting that linebacker Jerod Mayo could be lost for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a torn pectoral muscle. The Patriots recently lost their outstanding defensive tackle Vince Wilfork to a season-ending injury, wiping out their two heart-and-soul players on defense.
This would be akin to the Jets losing David Harris and Muhammad Wilkerson.
It's a continuing trend for the Patriots. They have no Wes Welker, no Aaron Hernandez, no Danny Woodhead and no Rob Gronkowski (maybe). Welker Lite, Danny Amendola, also is a question mark this week. But they're still atop the AFC East. They're still winning because they have Tom Brady and nobody else does. He has a way of winning with a patchwork supporting cast.
There will be no Brady pity from Rex Ryan.
"What's their record, 5-1 or something like that?" Ryan asked Monday. "I think he's pretty good. He looks pretty good to me. Always has."
That's because Ryan has lost five straight to Brady.
So to answer the question: Are the Patriots vulnerable? Well, yeah, they're more vulnerable than in the past, but they're still better in a diminished state than everybody else in the division.
ICYMI: The Jets, battling their own injuries, made a flurry of roster moves Tuesday. They signed WR/KR Josh Cribbs and WR Greg Salas and placed RB Mike Goodson and WR Clyde Gates on season-ending injured reserve. On Sunday, the receiving corps will consist of Stephen Hill, Jeremy Kerley, David Nelson, Michael Campbell and Cribbs. Santonio Holmes (hamstring) is a long shot to play. Talk about patchwork. ... Here's my film review of last week. ... The Jets are 20th in the latest ESPN.com Power Rankings. ... And a former local-college football star comes home to the Jets.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was with my friend in front of an alcohol store and I had given the man money to purchase the alcohol but the officer never saw that happen. When the man came with the alcohol, my friend took it and that's when the officer arrested us since he was undercover. I did not have any alcohol in my hand or have anything to drink. They breathalyzed me and got 0.0. The officer gave me the ticket because the buyer told him I gave him money. So I'm wondering if I can get this charge dismissed if I get an attorney since the officer never saw me do anything.The officer was also from Omaha and didn't know the local laws surrounding an MIP in Lincoln so he never told my friend and me our options. My friend was also cited with an MIP since he was physically holding the alcohol.
I take it that MIP stands for Minor In Possession. This is a misdemeanor in the states where I practice and, at the same time, I am not a misdemeanor or juvenile attorney, however, "getting a charged dismissed" has to do with the appraisal of the case and the charge by a prosecutor and the work of a defense attorney. Criminal cases are about arguing the facts as they apply to the law. For instance, the fact that you never had actual possession of the alcohol is favorable to you, however, most, if not all, jurisdictions consider "constructive" possession as the legal equivalent to actual possession. Constructive possession means that while you may not have been holding the alcohol, you had, at least, partial dominion or control over it-- that it was yours to consume as much as it was your friends. There is some evidence-- stated by you-- that you gave the man money to buy the alcohol. Thus, there is an argument that-- since only one person could actually possess the alcohol at one time (assuming there was only one "bottle" or "container")-- you were at least part "owner" of the alcohol and could demand and receive it from your friend any time you wished. An opposing argument, for example, would be that the man who said you gave him money to buy the alcohol is not credible, that he shouldn't be believed for some reason, that his testimony is not trustworthy because of criminal background, intoxication, etc. This is just the starting point, but I think you can see that even the simplest seeming facts are complicated when analyzed properly. This is a defense attorney's job.
The first question that has to be answered is, what are the elements of the MIP offense in your jurisdiction? Secondly, do the facts known to the prosecution, fit the elements of the offense? A "dismissal" that is generated solely by the prosecution is the result of a prosecutor not having a good faith belief in the his (the state's) ability to prove offense. A defense attorney-- more adept at seeing defenses than a misdemeanor prosecutor-- would use negotiation skills based on his/her ability to see defects in the state's case in order to argue for a dismissal. Sometimes dismissals are an outgrowth of the prosecution's appraisal of your case but often are the result of the work of a defense attorney in convincing the prosecution that they do not have a likelihood of conviction if the case were to go to trial.
In short, if dismissal of the charge of MIP is important to you (or a reduction in the penalty you would be forced to pay if there is a likelihood that you would be convicted if the case went to trial) a criminal defense attorney is very important. Most people with experience and knowledge in the criminal law do not rely on the judgment of a prosecutor as to whether a case will or won't be dismissed. This is an adversarial system; it works best when a prosecutor AND a defense attorney work to resolve a case either before trial. Finally, if your case isn't dismissed and you end up in trial, a defense attorney is crucial to your chances of acquittal.Ask a similar question
It is difficult to tell from your scenario, but the government may be unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you possessed or were in a conspiracy to possess alcohol. You may also be able to enroll in diversion or your attorney may be able to work out an arrangement to dismiss the charges under these facts.
You should not discuss the facts of this case with anyone other than your attorney, and you should consult with an attorney as soon as possible to see if they can resolve it for you.

Melatonin is a natural hormone nutrient that is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan by the pineal gland in the back of the brain. Melatonin also occurs in small amounts in a variety of foods. In the body, melatonin appears to regulate sleep/wake cycles, support normal immune function, and protect cells from free radical damage. Most of the research on melatonin has focused on its role in maintaining normal sleep/wake rhythms. The perception of daylight in the eyes is a signal for the pineal gland to inhibit melatonin synthesis and release. At night or in the dark, the body's melatonin production rises. The rise in plasma melatonin is thought to be responsible for bringing on sleep. Nocturnal melatonin production is highest in children and begins to decline from adolescence on until it is virtually absent in the elderly. Melatonin supports normal immune function by helping maintain the activity of circulating natural killer cells. It also has been found to function as an antagonist for stress-induced immunosuppression. Melatonin is considered a potent antioxidant that enters all body cells to help prevent free radical damage. In the brain, melatonin is perhaps the most important physiological antioxidant. Due to its lipid and water-soluble properties, it can freely cross the blood-brain barrier. In vitro studies show that melatonin is more effective than glutathione in scavenging toxic hydroxyl radicals, and also more efficient than vitamin E in neutralizing peroxyl radicals which can induce DNA damage. Furthermore, melatonin stimulates the main antioxidant enzyme of the brain, glutathione peroxidase.

First look at Ajijic
... they might help me with my spanish, and then I hope to move on to small communities where I won't have the gringos to help me and be forced to rely only on what I've learned; and I want to explore as much of the lake as I can (I did tell you I was a lake buff).
So I walked around Ajijic for a while, mainly looking for an ATM. Got a juice (55 cents), first 'meal ' of the day. I was tempted to try this ...

She told me that no one goes into this district after 8pm because it is considered as unsafe after dark. Well, good thing I had a local guide ;) At some park corner we stopped for just a few seconds to watch the rest of a clown show that had attracted a few spectators. I had just wanted to ...
Semana Santa in Mexico

My Christmas VacationMature
My dad is a horrible driver.
He insists on going at least 70 mph,
even if the road is really curvy,
and wet,
and frozen,
and there are other vehicles in his way.
Each one he passes is a small victory
to him.
To me it is literally a pain in the ass,
and the lower spine,
where I wobble forward and back
as he guns it and then slows down,
and I jerk to the side
as he triumphantly reclaims his rightful lane.
He makes agitated comments about something I can't hear,
presumably the road,
or the rain,
or the other drivers,
to my mom,
who is clutching the handle on the roof
above her window,
and who mutters the appropriate response.
Four hours he's been driving so far,
and still that many to go.
But look on the bright side...
He turned off that unbearable Christmas music.

Well everything. A child again- climbing rocks at the seaside, a plain Jane- discovering herself, an old man- looking through sepia photographs. I currently work as a wedding florist as well as attending College for a 3rd year to finish my A-levels. I can't wait to get married (just a fact for you guys). I study Law, French, and English Lit and have finished studying Psychology and Drama! I love plays and i hold an ambition to write on- that shall be my next venture!
