Novembers. 1783.
''PHIS day, Mr. Flood, after dwelling on the heavy expences of the country, and the greatness of the military force, declared, that a retrenchment in the military establishment had become absolutely necessary; he therefore moved, "That an humble address be presented to His Majesty, laying before His Majesty the said report; expressing also, that since that period, an augmentation of His Majesty's army hath taken place in this kingdom, whereby the military expences thereof have been considerably increased, that ever since, this nation has been running faster and faster into debt; and, notwithstanding great additional burdens, by new taxes, has yet been unable to restrain the public expences within the limits of the public income. And humbly submitting to His Majesty's royal wisdom and paternal benevolence, that it is the wish and prayer of His Majesty's faithful Commons, that the opportunity of the present conjuncture may not be omitted for making such reduction in the peace-establishment of the army, and such retrenchment of military expences, as may enable Your Majesty's faithful Commons, by a just economy, in all other points, to prevent the perpetual accumulation of national debt; a system ruinous, in the end, to the most opulent nation, but speedily destructive to a kingdom so limited in resources as this."
The motion was supported by Mr. Denis Brown, Mr. Molyneux, Mr. Luke Gardiner, Sir H. Cavendish, Mr. Corry, Mr. Hartley, and Mr. Browne (of the College.)
It was opposed by the Attorney-general (Mr. Yelverton), Mr. Pelham (Secretary), Mr. Conolly, Sir Hercules Langrishe (the Provost), Mr. I. H. Hutchinson, Mr. Ogle, and Mr. Grattan, who said,
Sir, I rise to speak on this subject, which has been frequently before the House already. The question is, 'Will you withdraw from the common cause that quota of troops which hitherto you have maintained? Are the circumstances of the country such, as you think, demand it? and if you are weak enough to think so, will His Majesty assent to that opinion? There never was a time when we could make reduction with a worse grace, because this country is now as eminently happy in trade, as Britain is the reverse.
In 1769, England possessed, almost unrivalled, the trade of all the world: she possessed America, and owed 150 millions less than she owes at present. Ireland had no trade at all, and her constitution was denied; yet, at that day, it was thought wise to augment the army; and shall we reduce it now, when we have obtained a free constitution, and a free trade? when we have obtained a judge's bill, a limited mutiny bill, an habeas corpus bill; when every thing that we have demanded, has been conceded? Shall we at that moment withdraw our quota of troops? Before she obtained those advantages, we said to Britain, that provided she would acknowledge our constitutional and commercial rights, we would stand or fall with her; and when they have been acknowledged, to the full satisfaction of every man, it is proposed to withdraw the support of our army. Suppose, instead of saying we will stand or fall with Britain, we had said, "And when these things shall be done, (when our rights shall be acknowledged and established,) we will then, in return, withdraw from you the support of our army:" and yet, in effect, this is the proposal at present made. I do not entirely agree in all that has been said of gratitude: we owe no gratitude but for the plantation trade; but this we owe to England, and to our own honour, that me should not depart from an old covenant. The navy of England protects our trade, and we, as an equivalent, pay 70,000/. a year to maintain the troops destined to serve in the plantations: this is not a dear purchase for partaking that which has cost England so many millions. Has success made us niggardly, and shall we become unkind to England, just at the moment she has shewn kindness to us? We have, indeed, held out the language of magnanimity to England, and shall we fail in the performance? No, there are many other places to make retrenchment: we grant a pension list of 80,000/. a year, yet complain of 70,000/. paid to an army, paid for the protection of the British navy. We may, indeed, make very great reductions in the army extraordinaries; we may make great reductions in the revenue department, and in others: those reductions will, I trust, far exceed the pay of our augmentation. These are retrenchments that ought to be made, but the number of our forces ought not to be diminished.
Mr. Conolly said, "I am against the reduction of the army. The augmentation was my measure, and I hope to see it go on and prosper."
The question was then put, when there appeared, Ayes 58, Noes 132; Majority against the question 74.
Tellers for the Ayes, Mr. Molyneux and the Hon. Denis Browne. for the Noes, Sir Hercules Langrishe and Mr. O'Hara.
November 10. 1783.
OIR H. CAVENDISH this day moved, to take into consideration the resolution of the 28th October last, viz. "That the condition of this kingdom requires that all practicable retrenchments be made in its expenses, consistent with the interest of the kingdom, and the honourable support of His Majesty's government."
The motion was seconded by Mr. Mason, and was supported by the Attorney-general (Mr. Yelvertou).
Mr. Flood, (who, in consequence of illness, was obliged to speak sitting,) proposed an amendment. He said, the military establishment afforded ample room for retrenchment, and that it would be proper to direct the economy of government to that object, and not leave a latitude to administration to pursue whatever measure they pleased. He then moved to amend the resolution by adding, "That the military establishment of this country in particular, will admit of considerable retrenchment, inasmuch as 12,000 men are at present sufficient not only to maintain the defence of this kingdom, but also to afford Great Britain abroad, as many men as were granted to her use by the augmentation; and inasmuch as many and important savings may be made in the expense of maintaining that number of 12,000 men."
This was supported by Mr. Denis Browne, Mr. Molyneux, Mr. Parsons, Mr. Arthur Browne, and Mr. Brownlow. It was opposed by Major Doyle, General LuttereH, Mr. Denis Daly, and Mr. Grattan, who said,
I never gave a vote with more satisfaction in my life, than the vote I gave a few nights ago on this subject. I voted against the retrenchment of the military peace-establishment, to preserve the honour of the nation.
This motion has been put to-night upon a question which has been determined already, by a decision of this House. This establishment has been continued fourteen years.
When it was proposed before, it was moved that an address should be presented to His Majesty, accompanied with a report of 1768. To present such a report would be giving the idea that we could reconsider that report of 1768: that report was then before the administration, and men of the first characters were parties in that report; it was made before the augmentation took place; it was made by the right honourable gentleman who voted for the augmentation in 1769. The question of this night set out with a fair prospect of illsuccess; it is wanted to go into the establishment of 1751; but that is impossible. The first thing which stands in your way, is the additional pay to dragoons; you must strike off the pay to the dragoons, and the increase of pay to the infantry, and the allowances for expences. A soldier has to encounter expences in every article. Does the right honourable gentleman mean to go back to the middle of this century? Since that period the rent of lands have increased one-third ; in order, therefore, to go back, you must lower the price of land, and even that would not be sufficient; you must alter the price of hay and oats, and all the necessaries of life. Making every allowance, what great advantage does he boast of? What would be the saving if the military establishment be reduced to what it was in 1751? In the pay of dragoons 5,100/. and 1,500/. in the pay of infantry: the half-pay must be broke: all expences together amount to 368,000/. The gentleman's political schemes are like nostrums; they will not answer the end proposed. The.gentleman's arguments go to the question of the augmentation: but are we to take from the kingdom part of the support of the empire, merely to save to Ireland an expense of 52,000/. per year? for I can make it appear it is no more. You cannot decide for this motion with honour to your country. The revenues in 1769, when you voted this augmentation, were less; but the revenues for the last two years have increased 100,000/. per year. The free trade is a resource which we have not yet derived the benefit of; but it is such a resource as we had not when we voted the augmentation in 1769; you had not such resources as you have now.
What has been the change of affairs in England? Great Britain has added millions to her debt. You were the propounders of the augmentation, when the kingdom was labouring under every disadvantage in point of trade. Will gentlemen tell you now, that, animated with the spirit of liberty, being now in a superior situation to what you were in 1769, the maintaining of 15,000 men is distressful to Ireland? Every argument in favour of the augmentation in 1769 is in favour of it now; and will you now plead inability, in order to withdraw the covenant? I admire economy as much as any man; but will a generous nation make excuses for breach of a covenant! A nation which has two millious and a half of men, and the benefit of the plantation trade, and an increasing revenue, is such a nation unable to support 15,000 men? This is a question of empire, and not of party.
I have heard in this House great professions of gratitude; and are we now to be told we want gratitude, or are we to banish the idea of generosity from these walls? 1 say, you owe to Great Britain the plantation trade. You have now an interest in the empire of England, to defend it against any attack of the House of Bourbon, and you are only to maintain a part of the army for the general defence of the empire; to maintain 15,000 men. It is but justice to maintain them, for Great Britain has increased her navy, which is for the protection of this kingdom as well as Great Britain; you are necessarily bound to contribute in some shape or other; and you are asked to continue the army of 15,000 men. Strike off all idle expences; look to the accounts, look to the civil establishment, there is an increase of 200,000/.; but the military establishment ought not to be cut off. Apply the amputation where necessary; but do not disband the army. The spirit of the people of England is in favour of Ireland; it is unwise to make her regret those periods in which she gave you advantages: there was a firmness and moderation in the conduct of Irishmen then, and the high character of Ireland will be advanced in adhering to the same conduct now. Great Britain was the object of your heart in 1769, and will you in 1783, be considered as wanting faith? for in 1782, you told Great Britain you would stand or fall by her. Will you now sully the honour of the Irish nation, by disbanding 3,000 men, for saving of 50,000/., in order to take from England those men which you augmented in 1769, before you received any benefits?
No man has a greater respect for the people than I have; but with respect to the present question, it is for the honour of the nation these men should be maintained.
This is not a question of equalization; the point to be decided is, whether the expences of your army can be diminished? can you diminish the pay of a soldier a halfpenny per day? You cannot do it, or you must first order the prices of the necessaries of life to be less. It is not the object or wish of the people to pick the pocket of a poor soldier a halfpenny a day. I think it is for the interest of my country, that these 15,000 should be maintained, as they are part of the army, for the whole empire. I am for making all practicable retrenchments. Let us go into the committee, and see whether you cannot make other retrenchments. This question has been pretty fully discussed; I shall only add, that, as far as I know

I met the person online, he asked on our second date if he would pick me up, I said I 'll drive. I'm sure he's gonna ask the same question again. so when to allow him to pick me up, and what do I reply till then?
Most Helpful Girl
When I was active on dating sites, I didn't even give my name until after we chatted a bit. Then, I gave my first name only and we met after 1-2 weeks of chatting, met in a public place. I usually didn't let them pick me up or let them know where I lived until around the 3rd or 4th date. I was very careful and never had any trouble :-)
Just be honest and tell him you're trying to be careful, and that you'd just rather meet him. He should understand, I'm sure it's not going to be the first time he's heard that (being on a dating site and all).
Good luck!10|10|0
Yeah Sparrow had to take a break from dating sites. So many guys were trying to date her and kinda overwhelmed her.

Enrollment - Short Courses
Short courses are condensed format classes that offer an alternative schedule with enhanced flexibility. However, students should discuss short course options with an adviser. It's very important that the type of subject and the length of a given course fits a student's learning style.
Arts & Sciences Outreach offers many face-to-face short courses in the A&S subject areas. List of upcoming short courses.
Short course enrollment is done via 'add' card at the Registrar's Office. Electronic enrollment (SIS) is not always supported.
The time commitment for a short course can be very intense, both in and outside of class.
Drop deadlines for a short course come up quickly. Be sure to know the drop deadlines for your class! Short course drop and add dates are listed on the Registrar's website: http://registrar.okstate.edu/SIO-Schedule
Intersession Courses
Intersession classes (courses held between semesters) are a great way to complete credit hours before a semester even starts. Students may wish to take advantage of the opportunity lighten a semester's course load by completing a class before the term starts. However, it's important to remember that intersession courses are graded with the complete term. (for example, August intersession classes are graded and transcripted in December, even when all coursework is completed in August).
For more information about short courses, please contact Christine Nichols

You stopped having feelings after being forced to do the unthinkable and have lost the capability to love, no ability to care about the walkers around you. You run into an old childhood friend, as well as some more recent ones, as you discover a new survivors' camp. Despite this, you didn't expect to run into five girls you always admired. What is unknown to you, despite the clear signals given, is their attraction to you.

What Is Christianity? Different than What Most People Think
It's a basic question, and also a vital one. Not only for our own spiritual journey, but also for the journeys of people we know and meet.
And it's a question Gregory Koukl engages in his new book The Story of Reality. The reason why is because of the misguided approach to religion people often take:
people are often tempted to think of religion as a kind of spiritual fantasy club…the one that meets your personal needs, that gives you rules to live by that are respectable but not too demanding, that warms your heart with feelings of spirituality…[They say] do not, however, confuse religious stories with reality. They don't give you the kind of information about the world that, say, science does. Yes, believing in God is useful…
The Problem of Evil – An Excerpt from Core Christianity
"Either God is great or God is good, but he can't be both."
One of the biggest stumbling blocks in Christianity is the question about evil: How can a powerful and loving God allow pain and suffering?
This excerpt from Core Christianity lays out the problem of evil in light of the story of God's sovereignty, goodness and love. Author Michael Horton brings the drama of good and evil into tension with the end in mind…
There are a lot of mysteries surrounding the attributes of God. The Bible teaches us both that God is all-powerful and that we have real freedom and responsibility. But how? We know…
The Unexamined Faith is Not Worth Believing – An Excerpt from Core Christianity
Too often, Christians go through life unprepared for their beliefs to be challenged because they don't even know for themselves what they believe. In his signature style, author Michael Horton challenges us to examine our doctrine. Many think doctrine is dry and boring, but Horton challenges that just as we tend to learn as much as we can about the people and situations most important to us, we should do so with the Gospel.
Today's excerpt clearly lays out the premise of the book. Hear God call you into his story as you read. Core Christianity is available to order from Zondervan Academic.
A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their…

Carolyn Custis James Asks, "Can the Gospel Fill Our Manhood Void?"
The malestrom — the ways in which the fall impacts the male of the human species, causing man to lose himself, his identity and purpose as a man, and above all to lose sight of God's original vision for his sons — poses one of the most serious historic challenges to the gospel.
Does the gospel have anything better to offer men than a kinder, gentler patriarchy? Is the gospel able to fill the manhood void with an indestructible identity and calling that cover the entire cultural spectrum and the complete lifespan of a man's life — no matter how long or how short that may be or how his story plays out?

Call for Papers: LATC 2016, The Voice of God in the Text of Scripture
Starting today and running through July 17 there is an open call for papers for the 2016 Los Angeles Theology Conference. The conference this year (to be held in mid January at Fuller Seminary) has the title "The Voice of God in the Text of Scripture," and our plenary speakers will be William Abraham, John Goldingay, Richard Hays, Amy Plantinga Pauw, and Daniel Treier.
Those five speakers already guarantee a worthwhile conference, but as in previous years, Oliver Crisp and I are hoping to select nine more presentations to enrich the schedule even more.
As the call says, we are seeking "theologically constructive accounts of Scripture, describing how God is said to speak by means of the…
Douglas Estes – "Why Is the Bible Hard to Understand?"
I am convinced the Bible is at times just plain hard to understand. When I was younger, I thought that most people who had a hard time understanding the Bible didn't read it; I figured they just didn't make time for it. When I encouraged people to read the Bible, often they came back to me saying they had a hard time understanding it, and I remember at times dismissing this as their unwillingness to 'open their eyes and ears'. But is it really that simple?

Science Instruction in the Middle and Secondary Schools: Developing Fundamental Knowledge and Skills (7th Edition)
This science methods textbook is designed to provide middle and high school science teachers with the skills they need to help students become scientifically and technologically literate. To be successful, beginning teachers must master the basic functions of teaching. They are: Understanding the purpose of science teaching Planning science lessons that are engaging and lead to meaningful learning Managing the science learning environment in ways that emphasize student responsibility Assessing students science learning throughout the instructional process Teaching in a way that is both active and personally rewarding. Once these basic skills have been mastered, then pre-service teachers are ready to tackle the other important topics relevant to science teaching and learning. In order to meet this goal, the authors immediately engage their readers with six introductory chapters on these basic skills. The remaining chapters focus on the foundational areas of science education and strategies for science teaching. Many vignettes and examples of classroom practices are included to reinforce the chapter content. The appendices provide Puzzling Situations, science demonstrations, science laboratory activities, and a scoring key for the science inventory found in Chapter One. New To This Edition: NEW: Opens each of the six introductory chapters with revised vignettes that serve as advanced organizers of the chapter–Focuses on the basic functions of science teaching-purpose: planning, assessing, teaching, and managing. NEW! Correlates the chapter content with the NSTA/NCATE 2003 Professional Standards for Science Teacher Preparation–Facilitates the preparation of the NCATE review process at many universities. NEW! Uses backwards design strategies (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005) to guide the discussion of instructional planning in Chapter Three–Emphasizes unit planning (rather than lesson planning) and the state science standards. Guided by backward design strategies, the book stresses the use of state and locally developed curriculum frameworks and science literacy (strand) maps presented online by the National Science Digital Library. NEW! Introduces a Beginning Science Teacher's Checklist for evaluating lesson assessment practices (Chapter 4)–These three sections focus on assessment practices that should be addressed before, during, and after a lesson. NEW! Addresses Differentiated Instruction in Chapter 8 Diverse Adolescent Learners and Differentiated Instruction –Suggests ways teachers can address the diverse learning needs of today's students. NEW! Emphasizes the use of Technological Tools of Science Learning such as computer data collection probe-ware and graphing calculators in Chapter 15–Discusses their use in student investigations. NEW! Addresses learning through talk and argumentation in sections of Chapter 11–Shows uses of discussion, demonstration, and lecture in science teaching.

Don't Moodle!
Beware, moodle won't get you anywhere!
Moodle is very harmful students...
Moodle is very harmful to students. It actually causes reverse education, meaning it makes students lose brain cells instead of gaining them to get smarter. How will we ever get an education with Moodle causing reverse education?
It is physically impossible to receive an education with Moodle. The only answer to this problem is to get rid of Moodle altogether.

Course Details
These relaxed and friendly workshops are an ideal introduction to working with silver clay. This is a compound of 99.9% silver powder mixed with a binding agent which when fired burns off to leave fine silver. You will work with slow dry silver clay to make two and three pieces of jewellery such as pendants, earrings and charms. You will learn how to handle, shape, stamp, texture and dry silver clay and learn how to finish and fire a piece using a blowtorch or a kiln. Plus some traditional silversmithing techniques so that you can create a finished item of jewellery. You can choose which project(s) you make dependent on materials and time available. You can see some of the pieces that can be made on the silver workshops page at www.thejewelleryacademy.co.uk
What are the aims of the course? To provide the skills to make jewellery in an exciting and fun environment, the emphasis is on designing and making jewellery which you will love to wear.
What does the course involve? You will, under guidance, design and create your own individual piece(s) of jewellery.
Information & Support
Suitable for the beginner and those with some knowledge of jewellery making. Adaptations can be made which can challenge the more advanced jewellery maker.
Material costs; Please note that the cost of materials is not included in the course fee.
The tutor will provide materials and these will be charged to the student based on current silver clay prices. The cost of the silver clay used on this workshop will be £18 and is sufficient to make 1 or 2 small / medium pendant(s), earrings and/or charms. There will be an additional cost of £2 payable to the tutor, which will cover all other necessary materials, including Sterling silver findings, consumables etc. Sterling silver chains, semiprecious stones and cubic zirconias will be available to buy at trade prices if you choose to add them to your designs.

One thing you forget is that the tournament is sanctiond by WTA! QTA dont make the rules! If they dont want to accept WTA rules then the tournament wont be held in Qatar. Now its a matter of choice, and the choice to host these events are for?
Dear Andy,
Most people would argue the same about applying the WTA rules and mixing sports with politics in the case of the tournament but then lets not avoid the main issue here and the writer's actual point "act rather than turn a blind eye on Israeli's human rights abuse against Palestinians". Boycotting Israel in this case i think is basically taking into practice the power they have in hosting the tournament to act as a human rights watch in the region against discriminatory acts by Israel which is a good thing although i don't know if practical. Which bring me to the matter of you said choice? in regards to hosting the tournament its more of an obligation to accept the rules of the WTA which Qatar is doing but at the same time making it clear where they stand when it comes to human rights which intersects into politics in sports in this case.
What I find intellectually dishonest is the fact that you evidently have no problem with athletes from truly repressive and barbaric nations participating. Moreover, while you criticze Isreal for hitting gaza you conveniently leave out the fact that this is in response to repeated rocket attacks. While Isreal withdrew from gaza the groups have continued to fire rockets into Isreal. What did you expect them to do – not fire back? If gaza attacks Isreal then you cannot blame Isreal for hitting back.

The Rome Sand Plains encompass a large number of acres owned and managed by several different entities. What makes this area so special is the fact that it is a true inland pine barren interspersed with sand dunes, peat bogs and some other interesting wetland habitats. The Rome Sand Plains Unique Area is managed by DEC and comprises about 1,786 acres at present. Some 1,570 acres of adjacent land is managed by The Nature Conservancy (leaves DEC website). Some of this acreage is in the process of being converted to DEC ownership and management. Other ownership entities in the area include Oneida County (roughly 760 acres) and the Izaak Walton League (roughly 440 acres).
Featured Activities
General information on hiking includes how-to and safety tips and links to rules & regulations
Wood Creek Trail
Follow this gentle trail (1.2 miles round trip) along the crest of a towering dune to the banks of historic Wood Creek. The trail begins off a small parking lot on Hogsback Road. Visitors here are greeted by two informational signs which describe the geological formation of the sand dunes and the history of the east-west navigation on Wood Creek. Be sure to sign in at the trail register. The first part of the trail cuts through an open sandy area with scattered pitch pines and barren openings of moss and lichens. One of the projects the Management Team and local colleges have undertaken in this area is the reestablishment of blue lupines. A lucky May visitor can see these beautiful flowers which are essential to the survival of the endangered frosted elfin butterfly. Then the trail winds through a variety of forest cover types. There are tall white pine, hemlock and oak on the trail where it cuts along the side of this outstanding example of a ancient sand dune. The trail then drops down to the shrubby flood plain of Wood Creek.
Sand Dune Trail
This 0.7-mile-long trail starts at a former sand mining pit. Note what a sand dune looks like in cross-section - gently sloping windward side and steeply sloping leeward side. Follow the trail along old wood roads and logging paths for a walk on the dune. The pitch pines and other vegetation keep the sand dune stable against prevailing westerly winds. On the back side of the dune it drops sharply off into forested wetlands.
Beaver Creek Trail
This 1.8-mile-long trail follows old logging roads through the woods to a high bluff overlooking Beaver Creek in the heart of the Sand Plains.
Red, Blue and Yellow (Beaver Dam Trail) Trails - These interconnected trails are found on the north side of Oswego Road and total about 4.2 miles in length.
- Red Trail - This trail is the only trail in this group that begins and ends on Oswego Road, forming an arc that is about 1 mile in length.
- Blue Trail - This is a loop trail about 1.3 miles in length. This trail intersects the Red Trail about 0.2 mile north of Oswego Road in on the western end of the Red Trail.
- Yellow Trail (Beaver Dam Trail) - This trail loops off of the Red Trail and is 1.9 miles in length. This trail intersection is at 0.3 mile along the western end of the Red Trail or 0.2 mile along the eastern end of the Red Trail. This trail wanders through a wetland complex that was originally formed by beavers. Any number of wetland species, both plant and animal, may be seen depending on the time of year. This trail is also notoriously buggy, insect repellant is highly recommended during the summer.
General information on fishing includes how-to and safety tips and links to seasons, rules & regulations
Beaver Creek is a protected trout stream that runs through the northwest corner of the DEC managed lands. Wood Creek is not listed as a trout stream, but likely has warm water species such as bass and sunfish in it.
North Central NY Fishing provides information on fishing in the area and links to top fishing waters, stocking lists, public fishing access and waters open to ice fishing listed by county.
Hunting & Trapping
General Information on hunting and general information on trapping includes how-to and safety tips with links to seasons, rules & regulations
Hunting is allowed on the DEC managed lands. Deer and grouse are the species most sought after here. While not as popular as hunting, this area does see some trapping activity. The wetlands and small streams make good habitat for fur bearing species.
General information on snowmobiling includes how-to and safety tips and links to rules & regulations
A major snowmobile trail runs along the abandoned railroad right-of-way that runs through The Nature Conservancy managed lands between Oswego Road and Humaston Road. The snowmobile trails in the area are groomed and maintained by the West Rome Riders (leaves DEC website) through a volunteer stewardship agreement.
Watchable Wildlife
General information on watchable wildlife includes tips for viewing wildlife and links to other watchable wildlife locations
Rome Sand Plains is one of only a handful of inland pine barrens in the nation. This natural treasure consists of high sand dunes, low peat bogs, pine barrens, hardwood forests, meadows, wetlands and one of the largest beaver ponds in the state. The sand plains are a favorite place to visit for nature lovers from all over. Unique bird life, butterflies and plants make it a popular destination for student field trips, birdwatching groups and other outdoor enthusiasts. More than six miles of marked trails enhance the experience.
This area is home to a resident population of the Frosted Elfin butterfly, a species considered threatened in New York State. In an effort to encourage the Frosted Elfins and to perhaps one day become habitat for the endangered Karner Blue butterfly, quite a bit of effort has been spent on managing wild blue lupines, which is a food source. Lupine planting and removal of some competing vegetation are just a few of the interesting things that are being done here. A great time to visit this area is the spring, when the lupines are in bloom.

In addition to management objectives, the UMP contains detailed information on natural features, recreational infrastructure, geology, natural & human history, habitats, wildlife, fisheries and much more.
If you have questions and/or comments about this UMP, please email us firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Resource Management Team
The site is cooperatively managed by the Rome Sand Plains Resource Management Team, which was formally dedicated in October 1997.The team includes representatives from DEC, The Nature Conservancy, the City of Rome, Oneida County, the Izaak Walton League, the State Department of Transportation, the New York State Canals Corporation, the State Museum, the Mohawk Valley Heritage Corridor Commission, New York Rivers United, the Adirondack Mountain Club, the Rome Area Chamber of Commerce, the Oneida Nation, the Rome Historical Society, and the West Rome Riders, Inc.
The management team has prepared a unit management plan for the area in order to protect, maintain and enhance the geological, ecological and historical values of the Sand Plains, while also promoting recreational opportunities. The active partnership between the State and the local community is instrumental in protecting the Rome Sand Plains, and enhancing it's value as a community and environmental resource. The area is a priority project in the Open Space Conservation Plan for Region 6 and this project will expand the opportunities to explore historical, geological and ecological wonders of the Sand Plains.
Here are short narratives on each of the landowner partners in the Sand Plains.
Department of Environmental Conservation
The DEC owns approximately 1,765 acres in the Rome Sand Plains. All of the DEC's lands are classified as a Unique Natural Area which has certain management implications. The DEC's holdings in the Rome Sand Plains are concentrated in the south center of the unit around Hogsback and Oswego Roads. DEC lands currently support two of the major developed trails, the Dunes Trail and the Wood Creek Trail.
Hunting and trapping are allowed on DEC's and the County's holdings and follow the statewide regulations. Trails can not be used by motorized vehicles. Forestry management is practiced on parts of the DEC-held properties while other areas are reserved to preserve their ecological significance, especially the bog and other wetlands. Areas identified as habitat for rare or endangered plants or animals are also protected from influences that would alter the habitat.
The Nature Conservancy
The Nature Conservancy is part of the partnership that has developed to conserve the unique Rome Sand Plains and make it an asset to the City of Rome. The Conservancy's work there has included acquiring more than 1,000 acres of valuable wetlands, pine barrens and forests; assisting New York State in acquiring nearly 2,000 acres of ecologically important forests and pine barrens; raising money to develop trails and educational signage; and helping to manage important natural habitats. Together with scientists, volunteers, and agency partners, the Conservancy has used its science-based approach to conservation management to help plan for pine barrens restoration and undertake restoration of wild blue lupine in order to support and expand the rare frosted elfin butterfly and eventually to reintroduce Federally Endangered Karner blue butterfly.
On TNC properties within the Sand Plains public access by foot is allowed. White-tailed deer may be hunted by permit. Proof of liability insurance is required and hunters are asked to volunteer for 1-2 days of work on the property during the non-hunting season. Trapping and small game hunting are not allowed.
TNC is a private, non-profit conservation organization. Its mission is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. Active in New York since its inception in 1951, The Conservancy has been working with communities, businesses, agencies, and local people to protect more than 117 million acres around the world.
Izaak Walton League
The Izaak Walton League owns 440 acres on the eastern boundary of the Rome Sand Plains which is protected for the public interest. Their property encompasses the Pitch Pine Bog and is developed with approximately 3.5 miles nature trails in several loops. The trails pass through a mixture of bog, pitch pine and upland forest habitats. The property contains one of the largest beaver ponds in New York State.
The Izaak Walton League manages its property for recreation and outdoor education use. Cross country skiing, hiking and biking are allowed on the property. During open seasons, hunting and trapping are allowed under a special permit the individuals first obtain from the chapter president. There are no fires, motorized vehicles or camping allowed.
The parking lot for access to the trails is located on West Thomas Street. Get there by turning from the combined routes 46, 49 and 69 onto Gifford Road, just east of where route 69 splits off. Travel on Gifford Road to the stop sign. Turn left onto West Thomas Street. The parking lot is one-half mile on the left.
Oneida County
The Oneida County's holdings encompass approximately 770 acres in the western end of the Rome Sand Plains. The County's lands are managed for timber production by the county forester and include substantial wetlands. The County's property includes a fire training tower as well as a former roadway to Teelins Pond. The County allows public use of its property, including hunting and trapping. Its policy is to suppress all fires.
The Sand Plains' geologic origins date to the end of the last ice age when this area stood on the shores of ancient Lake Iroquois. This glacial lake encompassed much of what is now Central New York, including Lake Ontario. The prevailing westerly winds blew fine grain sands to the area which accumulated in the shallow areas of the eastern shore of the lake. Wide swaths of sand were exposed at Rome when the glaciers receded and the lake water began draining out through the St. Lawrence River. The west winds then blew the sands into high dunes in the sparsely vegetated area.
The remnants of some of the remaining sand dunes are best seen around the Hogsback Road, where the high dunes have low areas between them. The low areas have become the peat bogs of today. The dunes now support a pine barren ecology normally found only in coastal areas. Interspersed are northern hardwoods and transitional open meadows. The mosaic of habitats created by the unique geology of the area make the Sand Plains a rich ecological, as well as geologic, resource.
Wood Creek, which flows through the southern portion of the Sand Plains, figured prominently in the history of the Iroquois Nation and that of the settlement and building of the United States. This meandering creek was a transportation route for the indigenous Iroquois people and later became a major conduit for American settlers traveling westward. Its route was the template for the Erie Canal with carried the raw materials that fueled the industrial revolution. Even before the construction of the Erie Canal, the winding creek was "improved" by cutting across the necks of several oxbow loops. Evidence of these cuts still exists today. A web page about the historic use of Wood Creek and the mini-canals can be seen on the Wood Creek website.
The two signs are: "Rome Sand Plains," which describes how the area was formed 10,000 years ago and the unique features of the site; and "Wood Creek," which includes maps and narratives on the use of this creek 200 years ago as a link in a network of inland waterways from Albany to Oswego.
The signs were funded through a $3,600 US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Sustainable Development Program grant awarded to The Nature Conservancy on behalf of the Rome Sand Plains Resource Management Team. The Mohawk Valley Heritage Corridor Commission had a critical role in developing the signs and following through on the final design, fabrication and shipping.
Other funding initiatives to enhance this unique environmental area include:
- Overall, EPA has provided two grants (totaling $98,000) for use in the area. $48,000 to TNC from the sustainable development program (1998) for planning for compatible development opportunities and developing signs and brochures and
- $50,000 to Oneida County from the wetlands planning program (2001) for development of a unit management plan.
- $65,000 came from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, provided through a grant to NY Rivers United for habitat restoration and management.
- $7,000 came from National Wildlife Foundation, provided through a grant to Hamilton College for lupine restoration

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Villa Morales! We arrived for an early dinner one day with ravenous appetites, as we were told that Villa Morales serves some of the very best local food on the entire island. Very best indeed!! My partner ordered Angie's conch in butter & garlic and it was incredible....just so tender and tasty and cooked to perfection! I had grilled Wahoo, which was also delicious, as well as Angie's conch chowder. Their portions were great and Angie's fusion of flavors in her cooking was superb. J.T. and Angie own Villa Morales. J.T. is the bartender, and a mighty good one at that. His mojitos are legendary! J.T. came by our table a couple of times to be sure we were satisfied, and even sat with us at one point to chat for a bit. When we left, he gave both of us huge hugs and thanked us for stopping by. We truly did arrive as guests and leave as family (or at least friends, but we sure felt like family!!)! We will definitely go back when we return. Villa Morales is open Thursday - Saturday, so be sure to remember than when planning your visit. Make sure you fit a meal here into your schedule!

Discussion in 'Community' started by wild_karrde, Jul 10, 2001.
Is John Cena still considered the Superman of WWE?
Yes, and No.
CM Punk was WWE champion for over a year prior to The Rock winning and Cena lost to Rock last year. So although Cena is champion now he had a hard-fought match and has not looked that tough the last year or so. That said, he's still largely lame and shouldn't hopefully be champion too long. But given WWE's lack of major face stars he & punk will probably be feuding for a while.
Or we can hope against hope that they do a double turn and turn Cena heel and Punk face.
I have wanted Cena to turn heel for years but if it doesn't happen tonight, I'm officially giving up on it. Even if he turns 4 months from now, I will deem it too little too late.
Last night was the culmination of poor planning and playing it safe. They have a miracle to perform tonight on RAW.
From the Fans: A letter regarding John Cena and WM 29.
Cena definitely won't go heel while Punk is heel.
According to NoDQ Mania had some serious time constraints which is why America the Beautiful was dropped and there were no backstage segments. It doesn't though say why, surely WWE know how much TV time they get and can schedule accordingly as they have every other year.
Apparently a lot of people had trouble seeing what was going on in the arena because of the set and roof on the ring and had to be moved. Some issue also with the Live Stream people paid for so WWE is issuing refunds
Apparently people on various cable providers like Comcast and Verizon also had issues with their PPV service.
Will Randy Orton ever turn heel again?
That was rumored to be the plan for Orton post - WM, but with Show turning on his partners and knocking them both out after they lost last night, who the hell knows?
Orton is better as a heel, but who is he going to feud with?
Del Rio seems set to continue with Swagger, and even if Jack is suspended for a month are WWE going to put Orton in the title hunt anymore given his recent history? They aren't big on given belts to guys who might get fired next time they screw up (which knowing Orton could be any time). Sheamus is the only other major face on Smackdown that heel Orton could feud with.
Ahh that sucks, i want Orton to turn heel again and a have a similar rivalry like he did with the McMahons, that storyline was awesome
@SithLordDarthRichie Have him feud with HHH or Cena again or with Dwayne Johnson if he is available
I'm still pissed the Orton/Rock "Battle of the 3rd generation Superstars" that had been rumored for Survivor Series one year never materalized.
Rock vs Orton would be good. Shame Rock isn't around enough for that to happen.
Orton needs to "Kill" another Legend since he is/was the Legend Killer

Supposedly Rock's in, at the very least, the advertising plans for SummerSlam. If you turn Orton heel before August, you could probably have at least a good six months to build up to some sort of Rock/Orton matchup.
Supposedly Rock's in, at the very least, the advertising plans for SummerSlam. If you turn Orton heel before August, you could probably have at least a good six months to build up to some sort of Rock/Orton matchup.
Serious RAW panic and apparent rewrites because The Rock is a no-show.
Throwing his toys out of the pram maybe?
If that rivalry does happen, i may start watching again,
It's a good - high profile feud for Orton that wouldn't jeopardize any title plans should Orton get himself into trouble again.
Edit: Injury notes from WM:
--HHH's arm got caught underneath him on the table spot last night and he thought he broke his arm. He got X-rays and the arm wasn't broken. Brock Lesnar was out on his feet by a knee from HHH for about five minutes during the match last night. Shawn Michaels suffered a broken nose. So much for retirement. C.M. Punk's leg was in bad shape from that elbow onto the table. He was also getting X-rays last night and they said he needs an MRI.

Orton is getting into trouble still? I thought he gave that stuff up when his daughter was born
Maybe, but he's on his last warning so one more incident and he's gone. Given what just happened with Jack Swagger after he was just granted a push WWE may be cautious about giving Orton a run as WHC again.
At least Undertaker didn't get injured at Mania
Orton got in trouble with a Wellness Policy drug violation last summer, like
@SithLordDarthRichie states, he's pretty much on his last warning.
And of 'Taker did get injured, we likely would never know about it until way down the road (like with him and his broken foot at HIAC in '98.)
I'll add this: This was the worst possible time for WrestleMania to tank. Because there'll likely be even worse disintrest than usual in RAW and it has the double whammy of coming off a)a bad WrestleMania and B) The NCAA Championship game both of which will likely hurt the ratings and send Vince into another panic season of firings/hiring old guys/pushing down younger talent.
Hmm maybe if he gets fired, he can become an actor, cause he will be in the new 12 rounds movie and we already saw him acting in a movie called Big Red i think it's called

Dirty Harry's Dirty Mouth: Clint Eastwood Defends Trump's Racist Remarks: 'Just F***ing Get Over It'
Clint Eastwood is clearly not going "any which way but loose" in his political beliefs, backing Donald Trump and slamming the real estate mogul's critics in a new interview with Esquire magazine.
The Oscar winner said Trump is "onto something, because secretly everybody's getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That's the kiss-ass generation we're in right now."
The actor, who once portrayed a racist codger in the 2008 film Gran Torino, also said that people need to "just f***ing get over" the GOP presidential candidates racist remarks.
"But everybody — the press and everybody's going, 'Oh, well, that's racist,' and they're making a big hoodoo out of it. Just f***ing get over it. It's a sad time in history," Eastwood said.
The Fistful of Dollars star said: "We're really in a p***y generation. Everybody's walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren't called racist.
"All these people that say, 'Oh, you can't do that, and you can't do this, and you can't say that.' I guess it's just the times... What Trump is onto is he's just saying what's on his mind. And sometimes it's not so good. And sometimes it's… I mean, I can understand where he's coming from, but I don't always agree with it."
The famed actor, who served as the mayor of Carmel, California, in the 80s, hasn't publically endorsed Trump. However, between the billionaire and Hillary Clinton, Eastwood said he would vote for Trump.
The Pale Rider actor said: "She's declared that she's gonna follow in Obama's footsteps. There's been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle. She's made a lot of dough out of being a politician. I gave up dough to be a politician. I'm sure that Ronald Reagan gave up dough to be a politician."
Eastwood, an outspoken Republican, turned heads four years ago at the RNC when he spoke to an empty chair during his keynote address. The actor claimed it was to symbolize Obama's empty presidency.

Unfortunately, you cannot do this in the Full Address field from Quick Tools.
What you can use as a workaround also is to just assign a default country to it.
May I inquire what text would you have want to use in place of the "Please Select.." text in the placeholder?
Maybe we can try look for other alternative once we understand what it is you wanted to achieve.

How to sleep peacefully in the summer
The tricks and tips to employ to ensure you sleep soundly whatever the weather
The Dalai Lama once wisely said, "Sleep is the best form of meditation." While he has a point, it's easier said than done, especially in the summer.
In July last year, Britain reached temperatures of over 35 degrees and while it was cooler in the evenings, it was still warm. Throughout the summer, whether you're on holiday or at home, keeping cool and comfortable enough to fall asleep easily can be tricky.
There are two key factors that affect how we sleep; temperature and light. "You have to lose half a degree of body temperature to sleep, which is usually lost from your head and face," explains the sleep expert Neil Stanley. While opening your window might make sense, it will increase noise levels, which can make it trickier to sleep. Stanley recommends drinking cold fluids before bed or taking a cool shower.
In terms of light control, investing in heavier curtains or blackout blinds should be your first port of call. When the sun rises it naturally wakes up your body, however in the summer this can be as early as 4am. Eye masks are also a good option to shut out unwelcome light.
That said, Stanley also admits that "the prerequisite for a good night's sleep is a quiet mind." If you're stressed or anxious about something, you will struggle to sleep whatever the temperature or the time of year. Here are a few helpful tips and tricks to ensure you're relaxed and ready for bed.
Bazaar's six wonderful sleep inducers…
Apply… Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum, £50
This clever serum is the equivalent of eight hour's sleep for your skin. With a formula packed full of antioxidants and nourishing ingredients, you can be sure you'll wake up with better looking skin.
Swap... Your heavy duvet
Replace your winter duvet with a blanket or lighter tog duvet to keep cool. Opt for a 10.5 tog or below.
Wear… Holistic Silk Lavender Eye Mask, £52
Shut out the light and soothe tired eyes with this beautiful eye mask. Each one is filled with fresh lavender and made from luxurious silk.
Embrace… The scent of lavender
Set the tone for a good night's sleep with the soothing scent of lavender. The plant is renowned for it's relaxing powers. Whether you bathe in the oil or spritz a scented pillow mist, the smell will help lull you to sleep.
Invest in… La Perla Privilege lace and stretch-tulle camisole and brief set, £300
Natural fibres are more breathable and help to regulate the temperate. La Perla's set offers chic comfort to enable you to get forty peaceful winks.
And breathe…
Taking five minutes out before you go to bed to breathe properly is impressively effective at relaxing your mind. We often spend too much of the day breathing into our chest rather than into our tummy. Try it, you'll be surprised…

The river lion was a name given to the dominant predator of Epsilon XVII by Starfleet. This animal was in danger of extinction until the tribble was introduced to this ecosystem. The new, ready supply of prey was much welcomed by this green, black and orange animal. This species was similar to a cat except for the cranial protuberances similar to antlers that come out of its head. (ST - New Worlds, New Civilizations short story: "Second Chances")
