In 1964, five years before this historic picture was taken, Bob Dylan said, "...the times they are a changin'." Time and circumstances are always changing, even if the changes are barely detectable, for individuals, families, small towns, large cities; great countries. Dylan predicted a shift in our mainstream culture and he was right. The long-reaching changes that germinated in the sixties can rightfully be underscored with that single phrase. One event began when John F. Kennedy declared that America would put a man on the moon within the decade. On July 21, 1969 that prediction came to pass. Neil Armstrong set man's first foot on the moon as Kennedy lay in his grave at Arlington National Cemetery, the victim of the most horrific assassination in our history. The sixties were a great and terrifying decade that permanently changed the American psyche. With all of the national events and cultural phenomena that have passed since Mr. Armstrong's monumental moment, my concern over present day circumstances and the fate of our country is greater than it has been for decades.
It often takes some time for me to gather my thoughts before I begin to write. On July 20, 2012 I was sitting in my apartment in Greenwood Village, CO. It was about 10:30 pm and I was restless. My customary late evening would consist of Letterman and Craig Ferguson, but the new Batman movie was premiering after midnight and for the first time ever I searched the internet to find the best place to see the film. From my location, the Century Theatre in Aurora had the most spectacular screen and audio. That would be my choice if I decided to go...which I did not; my predication for hating crowds kept me home that fateful night when a mad young gunman killed innocent people in one of America's calmest places to live. Our internal violence is not based on centuries of religious disputes, land rights, ethnic cleansing or revolving dictatorships. Since the settling of the west, the Civil War and the repeal of prohibition, our domestic violence is largely race on race, drug related or the acts of impulsive killers, but now we have an apocalyptic new breed of young people who plan mass executions; an especially disturbing creation of our own making. It's not the zombie wars or exotic model vampires; it's modern America where soon the neighborhood watch will become the neighbor watch focusing on quiet people who keep to themselves. Before moving to Denver I lived in the Philadelphia area for over thirty years, where murders are so proficient that the nightly news is a reading of the dead. It's time to take hold of the runaway violence in America street by street, community by community, in a non-violent movement to end the killing by simply placing our bodies in the way of bloodshed and saying, "No more!" Would our politicians take notice and formulate a policy that does not compromise common sense or the second amendment? One wonders. Living in Colorado for 11 months began to sensitize me again to the sanctity of life, and then the shooting in Aurora, and then I traveled to New York on business where my thoughts for this editorial started forming.
It's a political season in America, the big season; presidential politics accompanied by a national policy debate all geared to influence voters in one direction or another; to retain party loyalty or inspire defection; to maintain independence until the final moment of choice and then vote your conscience...political conscience and moral conscience and religious conscience...all balled together in one pull of the lever or punch of the card or push of a button, and so the country will go for another four years; except that we don't change the country anymore with elections, we just change or retain politicians and parties; minorities and majorities. In 2008 American elected its first black president based on his promise of change. Many reflected on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life, how this event was the fulfillment of his message of hope delivered in his famous, "I Have a Dream" speech from the Lincoln Memorial to 200,000 civil rights supporters in 1963. King changed America and when Barack Obama beat Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primary on June 7, 2008 (the day she suspended her campaign) I was overjoyed, dancing in the streets overjoyed. I am a dreamer and a "President Obama" was possibly a dream come true, but it wasn't too long before the air left the balloon as he deflated into a party politician. In spite of a hopeful 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, Mr. Obama has proven to be inept at changing America, unless we allow him the additional years he requests to recover from the Bush "inheritance". For all of President Obama's intelligence and now, four years of presidential experience and perspective, his preeminent message to America is a rally call to class warfare. The alternative is to vote for upper management: Mitt Romney, an anti-Obama candidate whose innocuous campaign slogan, "Believe in America" is a futile command for us to believe in Mr. Romney. What for? America is in trouble; all kinds of trouble; deep, long-lasting trouble and our state of politics tops the list. In a time of great need for (I'll pick just two) gun control and revenue reform, we're debating birth certificates and personal tax disclosure with a modicum of emphasis on the pertinent issues of the day. We will hear a lot of rhetoric during the conventions and the debates, but nothing will change. It's depressing.
The economy and job creation is at the center of this election, but they really aren't political issues. The economy will take many years to recover and when it does, no sitting president will deserve the credit. The private sector creates jobs and revenues. One would hope that as the Chief Executive Officer of the nation, every president would take personal responsibility for the federal budget and tax policies that favor business development. A government with sound financial practices and constitutional accountability would certainly help the private sector by minding its own bookkeeping and spending habits, but like most of our personal scores, our country's credit rating has been lowered. Do our politicians run their personal finances with the same reckless abandon that they use in managing our fiscal policy? From the information on their tax returns, they do not.
Our political malaise and the Aurora shooting were weighing heavy on me as I entered the Lincoln Tunnel to meet a gentleman from Chile at the Four Seasons Hotel in midtown. Juan had been on Long Island visiting his vineyard. I was there to talk with him about dedicating his Chilean vineyards and others of his friend's to my company, Flawless Spirits, and the opportunities for mass distribution in China. After introductions and backgrounds and business, our friendly chat steered toward open seas. I was seeking an ally, someone to sympathize with my disdain for conditions in America in 2012, but Juan would have none of it. My groans about the national debt were met with a reminder that the entire world depends on the American economy for its leadership and stability and that the U.S. will never go bankrupt. I thought, "Stability? Is he crazy?" He didn't think so. Having lived on Long Island with his family for a dozen years, his perspective was a blend of American growth with the personal enhancement of being Chilean, educated in Germany and working in Japan and Australia. Juan's children were traumatized by his decision to move the family back to Santiago. "How, Papa, could we leave America?" "For a time, niños," was his answer, "Only for a time."
As I left Manhattan I decided to stop in Jersey City, NJ and have a look at the condominiums in a building called: 77 Hudson. Part of the Flawless Spirits strategy is the acquisition of a company just a few miles from there. Purchasing a penthouse with a dramatic city view has always been a goal. If I will be spending considerable time on the east coast, what better way to live than with easy access to Manhattan and incredible views at 1/3 the cost of an apartment on the island? The unit on the 48th. Floor was adequate in its construction and design, the building amenities complete; but what really got to me was the uncompromised view of lower Manhattan. There, where the twin towers once stood, was a tall, gleaming structure 3/4 clothed in bright glass: the new Freedom Tower. I was a regular visitor to the World Trade Center, but it took a few seconds to comprehend what was before me. Thoughts of that morning were quickly followed by gratitude and pride. My heart rate jumped and my eyes watered as I absorbed the presence of the building and an overwhelming sense of patriotism. After all of the delays, debates and criticism, my nation was completing her new monument to freedom, enterprise and resolve. As watching the towers fall into dust was etched in my memory, so was seeing the incomplete Freedom Tower for the first time. I returned to Colorado with a renewed sense of peace...and then came the shooting at the Empire State Building where an angry man took his hostility against a former office rival to its ultimate limit, killing him on the street with a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun before being killed in an exchange with two police officers eight feet away whose 16 expelled rounds wounded nine bystanders.
It's true: America is a complicated country and being an American is often complicated. While this election is maintenance rather than reform and new ideas, the twelfth amendment of the constitution dictates that we select a president every four years; senators and representatives every six and two; regardless of the qualities of the candidates. I don't expect a change to our electorate protocol in my lifetime, but I do expect that our process will implode at some point in the future unless there is a radical rise in the behavior and performance of our politicians. The press could once be trusted for unbiased political accountability, but no longer. We're on our own now. To help alleviate the stress we flock to movies about superheroes with dazzling visual effects and guaranteed happy endings where the salvation of our country is secured by a noble one or few. We laugh at satirical comedies like "The Candidate" to assuage the realities portrayed in "The Ides of March". Well, we all love movies.
The hope for change is too strong a currency for presidential candidates to devalue, but when will their motives, integrity and courage reach beyond popularity to compel those under the rotunda to join a commitment for change and the absolute requirement to protect and improve our society? Will our politicians ever grow-up? Will change prevail? Perhaps in the America of our near future with the sons and daughters of a new immigrant nation. Our current parties are working diligently to acquire their allegiance.
I hope that our next generations take some cues from the sixties, where great challenges and reforms were met with courage and conviction: Where city occupations were well-organized political demonstrations with clear platforms, not a grabass free for all to attract television attention. Where the message of "Make Love Not War" transcended World War II and Korea and brought the Vietnam War to its knees. Where men and women dedicated their youth to changing the status quo based on an agenda of creating a better America, not the perfect storm for political and personal gain: Men like Neil Armstrong, who risked his life to answer the call of a deceased president and fulfill a national promise that he made.
Are the times a changin'? Certainly they are. It may just take a while longer until we see it in the flesh and receive it at the ballot box.

Welcome to my website. This is quite fulfilling, like an indoor hobby. When I was a young boy I enjoyed building model airplanes. Then came sports and I was forever outdoors unless I was listening to records or the radio or watching television. I've always had a restless mind. Originally, The Temperate Zone was the title of my first novel. I discovered this in 1987 while fiercely writing for long hours each day. The story is yet unfinished and is stored in the company of many others. Today much of my attention is directed toward business. Working with this website version of The Temperate Zone keeps me connected to the dreams and ideas that propel my imagination. It's a positive reminder and encouragement for me to believe in myself and never turn away from them. Will Harcourt

I just got a Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 and I am trying to utilize vPro but SpiceWorks will not indicate that it is enabled, showing: Intel® vPro: None (learn more).
I have the tablet connected via ethernet, enabled vPro in the tablet's BIOS and I am able to connect to it using the web server :16992.

So, I have successfully installed the RealVNC viewer and was able to connect to my tablet that way. I would, however, prefer to be able to connect with SpiceWorks yet I am still having problems with SW not detecting vPro. If my readings are correct, SW checks a list of serial numbers to see if the machine has vPro? I noticed my tablet in the list, but the serial number was CF-19R...where as my serial number is CF-19A. Could that be the reason?

This week's Mystery Banks Photo: This dairy farm girl, pictured about 20 years ago, grew up in Seminary Township and now lives in Mulberry Grove.
Editor's Note: Vandalia Alderman Neil Clark read this letter at Monday's city council meeting. He also submitted it as a letter to the editor.
This city council will vote tonight to approve or disapprove a tax levy for the city for the fiscal year of 2011.
On Nov. 21, at 6:30 p.m., the council held a public meeting to discuss the tax levy for the 2011 fiscal year. The auditor for the city, Dale Timmermann, was present to be questioned and to answer questions regarding the proposed tax levy.
When the Fayette County Genealogical & Historical Society sponsored the reprinting of the 1904 Historical Souvenir of Vandalia several years ago, I was one of those who purchased a copy for my personal library.
This time of year, we're reminded of why we love living in a small community.
There are parades, church programs, school performances, community events and, of course, the general hustle and bustle of holiday shopping.
The beauty of those events in a small town is that we know many of the people involved. We see our friends and neighbors at the events. And we marvel at the talents displayed our young people at the band and choral concerts.
This week's Mystery Banks Photo: This woman, pictured more than a decade ago, is now 92.
Because of the amazing generosity of the residents of Fayette and Montgomery counties, Operation Christmas Child was able to send 1,512 shoe boxes filled with gifts to children living in war-torn countries, areas of extreme poverty or nations affected by natural disasters.
No one could tell that the world is going through tough economic times. The generosity of these residents came through once again.
20 Years Ago
1991 – Jerry Bozak accepted the position as Fayette County Hospital's new administrator.
City patrolwoman Lisa Osborne submitted her resignation to Chief Carrol Dugan on Friday.
Birth – a girl, Brittany Leeann, to Mr. and Mrs. Troy White of Coffeen.
My favorite types of stories are those "straight from the horse's mouth," so to speak. The events in the lives of the earliest settlers, preserved in their own words, give an insight into the history of our country that no other source can duplicate.
The following family story was told by Aaron Gutridge in 1872, and included in the "History of Champaign and Logan Counties, Ohio." Aaron, who was 79 years old at the time, stated that he wrote the few lines without the aid of glasses.

Siyakhula by Total

This year marks our 60th anniversary in South Africa and we grow yearly more committed to our operations here and in the broader region.
Our aim through our enterprise development initiatives is to dismantle the legacy of past inequalities to the extent that economic success is shared by all South African citizens. For Total South Africa, black economic empowerment is not merely a compliance issue - it is about developing the economy of our country, committing to sustainable transformation and thereby being a good corporate citizen.
Siyakhula by Total shows our commitment to transformation through the development of black entrepreneurs and enterprises. Developing small entrepreneurs to grow into medium sized business is one of Total's enterprise development initiatives.
Although enterprise development has been a component of TOTAL South Africa's transformation strategy for some 60 years, it is time for the company to put more effort and resources into our enterprise development projects, start consolidating on the remarkable gains already made, and expand our enterprise development footprint into one consolidated programme - Siyakhula.
Corporations can and should play a vital role in helping small and medium businesses remain healthy and become valuable growth engines in the economy.
The establishment of the Siyakhula Programme is a natural progression to consolidate TOTAL South Africa's transformation initiatives.
We know how successful our transformation programmes can be, we have demonstrated this in the past. Total South Africa is proud to say that we were one of the first oil companies to make service stations available in previously disadvantaged areas, and also among the first to appoint black service station owners and managers. It's the same reason we're the first multi-national company to achieve Level 2 B-BBEE Contributor status.
Using our global network and expertise we can leverage these BEE company offerings, and deliver true change for good. Helping small entrepreneurs grow into medium-sized businesses is how we'll see real transformation.
Our transformational journey focuses not only on new enterprises but it is also about development of existing suppliers. We have paid particular attention to areas that we believe we can have most impact and these include:
Retail – Service Station Network Enterprise Development
The network enterprise development programme is underpinned by a robust business model, and partners with experts to support the success of our appointed entrepreneurs. For up to the duration of 3-years, our entrepreneurs receive support and training in technical, logistical and administrative areas to make them fully independent and self-sufficient throughout the business value chain. Click here to see more.
Independent Service Providers
This initiative develops an entrepreneur to have a robust and integrated approach in the management of a depot facility for our commercial or mining customers. The storage market whilst constrained also poses the biggest opportunities especially with the introduction of strategic stocks. Through transformation we are preparing entrepreneurs to position themselves for these opportunities, one at a time.
Road Transport:
Developing small transport entrepreneurs to grow into a medium sized business is one of Total's crucial Supplier development initiatives. Bulk fuel transport is very competitive with high barriers to entry for small enterprises. This initiative is geared towards rapidly growing a small operator of delivery trucks to a medium sized fleet.
Total South Africa is constantly on the lookout for ways to fuel enterprise and empower the communities in which we operate. These communities offer true entrepreneurial spirit – go-getters with the courage to pursue their business success. Total is excited to help unleash this energy through Siyakhula by TOTAL

Arsène Wenger to utilise Mohamed Elneny at centre back
Arsène Wenger believes Mohamed Elneny can be used as a centre-back this season...
Egyptian left back Mohamed Abdel-Shafy won the Crown Prince Cup with Ahli Jeddah on Friday night, as his side ran out 2-1 winners against Al-Hilal.
King Fahd International stadium hosted the final match of the Cup; the match never really came to life until Omar Al-Somah came in as a sub to score the first goal for Ahli Jeddah just 15 minutes after the kick off of the second half.
Just three minutes later Abdallah El-Maiouf, Ahli Jeddah's goalkeeper, was sent off for a foul as the referee pointed to the spot.
Yasser El-Mosaylam, Ahli's second goalkeeper, came on to become an instant hero, as he saved the resulting penalty kick.
Moataz Hawsawi scored the second goal for Ahli Jeddah to secure the title for their team, before Al-Hilal netted a consolation goal with just over 10 minutes to play.
The title is Abdel-Shafy's first with his current team, after making a six-month loan move from Zamalek; this triumph might just convince the Saudi team to attempt to negotiate a permanent transfer for the defender.
The 29-year-old was seen posing with a custom #22 shirt designed to honor those who lost their lives in the latest tragedy in Egyptian football.

text: ISLAMABAD - The European Union Ambassador to Islamabad Lars-Gunnar Wigemark said Thursday that EU and Pakistan would have a second round of strategic dialogue in Brussels on Tuesday (March 25), which would cover a broad range of issues like trade, investment and counter terrorism. The Prime Minister advisor on national security and foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz would be travelling to Brussels soon to meet EU higher representative for foreign affairs and security policy Cathy Ashton in Brussels, to follow up the five-year programme agreed between the two sides in 2012, said the EU envoy at a reception here.However, Lars-Gunnar played down expectations about the outcome of these talks, saying no breakthrough should be expected. Both the sides would have comprehensive talks on issues like democracy, socio-economic development, human rights, energy and trade reforms, Generalised System of Preferences Plus, investment, security, law enforcement, disarmament, Afghanistan in post 2014, Iran, Middle East and Syrian situation, he said. When questioned on EU stance on recent initiative of the government to have a dialogue with Pakistan Tahreek-e-Taliban, he said it would support whatever decision was taken by the democratically elected government. Asked to comment on the moratorium on executions in Pakistan, he said the EU welcomed the decision of the government to maintain it.He said illegal immigration from Pakistan to the EU would also come up for discussion during the strategic dialogue because this issue was making it difficult for the legal Pakistani migrants to get EU visa. The envoy said in 20 years time there was going to be big labour deficiency in EU members, so there would be great opportunities for talented young Pakistanis to get jobs there.Referring to Pak-India warming relations for bilateral trade, the envoy said it had the full blessings of the EU because it believed trade relations between the 'two giants' would benefit both the countries. Their economic ties would improve the prospects for tackling the 'intransigent disputes' between the two neighbours, he added.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

- 1 cup dried porcini mushrooms (1 ounce)
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 garlic cloves, halved
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (5 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick on a mandoline
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a small bowl, cover the porcini with the hot water and let soak until softened, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the porcini from the soaking liquid; discard the liquid. Rinse and coarsely chop the porcini.
In a large saucepan, combine the wine, garlic and thyme sprigs and boil over high heat until the wine has reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream, 1 cup of the grated cheese, the salt and cayenne and bring to boil. Remove from the heat and discard the thyme sprigs and garlic cloves.
Arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer in a shallow, 15-by-10-inch baking dish. Spread the porcini evenly over the potatoes. Top with the remaining potato slices. Pour the cream mixture on top and shake the dish to distribute the cream. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is richly browned. Let the gratin rest for 15 minutes, then serve hot.
