"I SAT IN MY CAR AND CRIED" (This is one beautiful human event!!!)
"I just got home from my very first "parent-teacher" conference for my 5 1/2 year old son, Joshua. We put Josh into main stream kindergarten this year with his peers. Josh was diagnosed with Autism four years ago this month. We were devastated at the time. Through our journey of ups and downs with the "services" he was offered, we finally found the Autism Treatment Center of America almost two years ago. It CHANGED our lives! In just the first hours spent with Josh with our new Son Rise Program attitudes we saw a difference in him.
Today, I sat in my car in the parking lot of my sons school and cried. I cried because the teacher told me I have one of the most typical kids she has come across. He is well adjusted, transitions easily, has lots of friends and even gets into a little trouble for talking too much!!! We have let our last volunteer go and have begun to transition our "playroom" into a room with more toys, Legos and a touch of chaos.
We are so thankful that The Son Rise Program is apart of our lives! Josh wouldn't be the kid he is now without it. As a parent, I hope I can spread the hope to others out there such as you have done. Thank you from the depths of my heart and soul for never giving up on your son. You gave me the courage to be a better person for my son.

Hi there.
Is there any hope for the bug with the same map twice being fixed? Any word from the developers?
We run one server in our clan, and would like to mix up the vehicle maps with two Grand Bazaars. Unfortunately that is not possible as the bug makes our mapcycle miss some important maps.
Is there any other way to go by this problem, plugin-wise or something? We run only conquest 64 players. We tried Seine or Damavand as infantry only, but it has not been balanced nor working with the settings so the server has died..
If I could choose freely: Caspian - Firestorm - Bazaar - Kharg - Noshahar - Bazaar.
Is this doable?
29-02-2012, 07:50 #13
Afaik DICE has it on the buglist but i can't say what priority it has.
Meanwhile it should be possible to work around it with the mixed-mode plugin.

found it...
Problem now will be that the "server settings change on map" probably will not work, so I won't get infantry only on Bazaar. As that plugin uses the regular maplist.
Darn... :P

Immigration vote hunt on in Senate
Getting immigration reform to the Senate floor took hours of negotiations and committee hearings, hundreds of amendments, a careful orchestration of public statements and backroom pressure to hold the Gang of Eight together.
That was the easy part.
Story Continued Below
Many of the almost two dozen Republicans identified as possible supporters by the Gang of Eight are demanding changes that would make the bill significantly more conservative. They want stricter border security, tighter control on government benefits for newly-documented immigrants and tougher requirements along the pathway to citizenship.
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
Go too far on any of those elements, and liberal Democrats — who aren't thrilled with many aspects of the bill already — begin to pull away.
Meanwhile, a handful of conservative Democrats, who have been asked to cast several tough votes this year already, won't commit to the bill unless they secure many of the same fixes that Republicans are seeking.
And even if the Senate approves a bill, the route through the House is a puzzle for reform proponents. Their only game plan, at this point, is to run up the numbers in the Senate, sending an emphatic message to the House that it needs to act.
"Our goal is to get 70 votes. It is going to take a lot of work," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a leader of the Gang of Eight. "This is one of the most important bills to pass for America. It's one of the hardest bills to pass for America. And we got a long way to go, we don't have any doubts about that. But so far, at each step of the road where it's been difficult, we've been able to overcome."
No one's expecting final commitments until just before the vote as the senators look to extract compromises and concessions. But Schumer said the Gang of Eight would meet Thursday to begin plotting out a strategy for the floor debate, which is expected to begin soon after senators return from the Memorial Day recess.
( Also on POLITICO: Pol: Obamacare may kill immigration)
The group heads into the next phase of the fight with the strength that comes from sticking together.
Predictions that a drawn-out debate would kill the bill haven't come to pass. It's been more than four months since the Gang of Eight released its principles and more than one month since it offered the bill. And coming out of a three-week-long Judiciary Committee markup Tuesday, the legislation picked up one more Republican vote — Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah — although his support isn't guaranteed on the floor.
The debate has yet to turn unusually heated, in part because it's been repeatedly overshadowed by a string of headline-grabbing news events including the Boston Marathon bombings, the Benghazi investigation, the IRS scandal, and the Oklahoma tornadoes.
This has all given the Gang of Eight a chance to start on favorable terrain, with undecided senators as open-minded as they may ever be to tackling the controversial issue.
"I want to see an immigration reform bill, I really do," said Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho). "I think everybody up here does. I think that the gap between all parties is a lot narrower than it was."


text: The year 2012 came at us hooting and hollering with huge events, be they pre-empted (the Olympic Games in London, the US presidential election), unforeseen (Hurricane Sandy in New York) or somewhere in the middle (the Eurozone debt crisis). The outlook for 2013 is thankfully - for the most part - somewhat more low-key; but that's not to say there aren't still all kinds of interesting happenings in store. The cultural calendar this year is looking very attractive indeed, with a focus on new projects by some of the more quietly discerning and original creative forces we know. There's literature by Messrs JM Coetzee and Paul Auster, music from Vampire Weekend and a host of other indie favourites, films from director Ms Kathryn Bigelow and actor Mr Ryan Gosling, and a major exhibition celebrating the supremely understated oeuvre of Mr Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier. There will of course be some louder presences in there too (new Lady Gaga and U2 albums, anyone?), but we'd like to hereby herald 2013 as a chance to catch your breath, relax a while, and luxuriate in some seriously refined offerings, starting with these.

Going for Gold was a general knowledge quiz with contestants from all over Europe. It was hosted by Henry Kelly and aired weekday afternoons on BBC1.
The programme followed the now-familiar but then revolutionary repechage-style format where contestants stayed with the show for the whole week. Seven contestants would appear on Monday, and from those four answered elimination questions correctly to go into what Henry Kelly would constantly refer to as "the first round proper". The three rejects that didn't get used today, together with the three that would be knocked-out during Monday's contest, would come back on Tuesday, and so on.

Hi all,
I'm tossing around a few ideas for improving the Imperial Website. One idea I have is to put together a small slideshow of 4-7 slides for the front page. It has also been suggested that I put together interest specific pages for the three Knightly peerages and create a slide show for those pages as well.
As such, I would ask that anyone who has a few great pictures email them to me. I'm happy to accept "choreographed" photos as well as candid.
My requirements:
1. A short (sentence or two) description, and identification (by game name) of the individuals in the photo
2. No "mundania", if at all possible (I know this could be hard).
I hope to have a few "template" type sites up by early next month.

One of Finland's biggest hockey stars, Saku Koivu has called it a career today. Koivu, during his NHL career was a huge inspiration for me as a player and that I wanted to model myself after. I wanted to be a reliable two-way player, just like Koivu. The reason why Saku Koivu became such an inspiration to me was because we were both the same size and stature. Koivu proved that he could play like a big player, night in, night out, sometimes at a high cost, which lead to his injury history.
Koivu's stature made him an extremely hard worker off the ice, which is how I wanted to model myself as a player. His dedication for the sport, despite battling difficult injuries or cancer, was immense and it was largely thanks to Koivu's return from cancer that inspired me to take up the sport again, after I had fallen out of love with it. I remember thinking to myself: "If he comes back from cancer, what's stopping me from coming back from a knee injury."
As the Captain of the Canadiens, Koivu taught me a lot about leadership. Watching him in press scrums during the Canadiens' woeful years, he conducted himself with class, despite carrying the hopes of an entire province on his back. Koivu always lead with example on the ice, whether it was for the Habs or for the Finnish national team, which I always aspired to do for my own team. It was leaving your heart out on to the ice after every game you played.
Where Koivu may not have reached the heights of the NHL's scoring charts, he was a widely respected player across the entire league. One of those players that no-one had nothing but good things to say. Koivu was never a big fan of being in the spotlight, despite shouldering the C for the Canadiens for the better part of a decade.
There was a story about the Koivu brothers in the Finnish media which said that they absolutely hate losing and the reporter – whose name escapes me – said that Saku and Mikko are the types of players that hate losing so much, that the loss will eat at them for months and will fuel their desire to succeed. It is exactly what a great leader should be all about. Hating losing so much, you push yourself and your team to the limit so that you can win again. And again. And again.
Whilst Saku may not read this, I wanted to – in some way – acknowledge and thank him for the inspiration he provided me with for my own career, how you need to prepare as an athlete of a smaller stature and how to be a leader.
Kiitos, Saku

Michael Lyman, Accenture Strategy's Insurance Lead
Independent agents face a multitude of challenges. What's more, new research from Accenture shows there is a complex relationship between them and insurance carriers, and that this hampers efforts by insurers to help agents improve their efficiency and sales effectiveness. We asked Michael Lyman, Accenture Strategy's Insurance Lead, what carriers can do to strengthen this vital channel.
What are the prospects for the independent agent (IA) channel?
IAs have always been an important insurance sales channel, and they continue to be—in 2013 they accounted for 58 percent of all property and casualty sales in the United States. But there are ominous clouds on the horizon. They feel threatened by insurers' direct online offerings, and we're seeing the advent of powerful new distributors from outside the industry: Walmart is selling auto and health insurance, IKEA is testing the waters with child and home insurance and Google has just secured licenses to sell auto insurance in 26 states. We know from our research that 23 percent of insurance customers would consider buying from distributors such as these. In addition to this, the average age of agents is rising steadily—it's currently 56 in the United States. This makes it more difficult for them to identify with the new breed of insurance customer, and to appreciate the benefits that emerging technologies offer the agency. So they face the threats of being squeezed by formidable new competitors and outpaced by more efficient traditional ones.
These threats are bad news for insurance carriers too, aren't they?
They certainly are. While many carriers are investing in new digital channels, most depend on their independent agents to bring in a significant share of both new and repeat business. Accenture research found that one out of four insurance customers have at least one auto insurance policy purchased from an IA, while 19 percent have at least one home policy and 20 percent at least one life policy. We also found that agents are the preferred channel for getting advice on insurance, ahead of websites and insurers' customer service centers. So while the shift to digital channels is clear and strong, the IA is likely to remain a crucial contributor to insurers' total premiums for many years to come.
Since they both have an interest in the prosperity of the channel, are they working effectively to optimize it?
The relationship between the two parties is a fascinating one. It's clearly symbiotic. But it also has an adversarial component. IAs regard insurers' online channels as the number-one threat to their market share, and they suspect that many of insurers' initiatives to support their business are a disguised effort to wrest "ownership" of the client from the hands of the agent. Insurers, on the other hand, feel that independent agents have limited loyalty and often play their carriers off against each other to gain the most favorable terms and treatment. Insurers are investing a lot to support IAs in areas such as marketing, operations, local market data and customer self-service. But if the aim is to build stronger relationships with the agencies, it's probably failing. Our survey of IAs found that the key factors in deciding where to place their business are things like claims process speed and quality, underwriting appetite and pricing consistency. Carriers' support initiatives come low on the list and don't seem to be winning them much business.
If IAs are not embracing carriers' efforts to support them, are they at least working on their own to enhance their competitiveness?
The number-one priority of independent agents is to retain customers by providing a superior service—and that includes offering a range of competitive products. Attracting new customers is a secondary concern. Bottom of the list—at least of the list we provided in our survey—is is upgrading their technology. This is particularly true when it comes to digital capabilities such as mobile and web customer engagement and support. Information is important, but it's no surprise that insights into existing customers are valued more than qualified prospect leads. We believe that many IAs are underestimating customers' expectations regarding digital interaction, mobility and social media, as well as the advantage enjoyed by those of their competitors who have mastered these capabilities.
So what can insurers do to help independent agents become more competitive and defend their market share?
As we spell out in our research report, the first step is to ensure they understand the priorities and constraints of the IA, and also their attitudes and perceptions relating to carriers. Then, we argue that there are five mutually beneficial outcomes that agents and carriers should work towards: increasing customer loyalty, offering them their channels of choice, enhancing the capacity for advice-oriented sales and service, improving agency operations to make them more efficient and adaptive and generating data-driven insights that improve the IA's effectiveness. In our report we list the specific steps which, we believe, will deliver these outcomes. The benefits will be shared by everyone: a stronger IA sales channel for carriers, a more viable business for agents, and a better overall experience for customers.

Hello there Guest,
To view this post you must either register and log in. Thank you!
I'm not new, just took a 3 year break. I want to set up one and only one 20 gallon aquarium. Is it possible to add some gravel, driftwood, and possibly some plants from an already cycled aquarium and expect it to be cycled enough to add some small corys?

Fehr Trade Value
It's a strange and long and winding story for Winkler, Manitoba's Eric Fehr.
The recently much maligned 6'4, 212 lb. winger has hit another rough patch on his road to recovery.
Bogged down with shoulder injuries the past few seasons, Fehr has never played more than 69 games in a season - that coming during the 2009-10 campaign with the team that drafted him - the Washington Capitals.
In 69 games, Fehr collected 21 goals and added 18 assists, was a plus 18 and saw some valuable power play time on a Capitals team that has the firepower of Alex Ovehckin, Alex Semin, and Nicklas Backstrom.
Resigned to only suit up for 52 games last season, collecting only 20 points, Fehr's stock seemed to drop - not only with the Capitals but with then head coach Bruce Boudreau, who opted to bench or scratch Fehr at times despite him being healthy and ready to play.
Shift the focus back to Winnipeg as Fehr was dealt to his "hometown" team this past summer in a deal that, if Fehr can produce numbers as he did in 2009-10, would be a win-win trade for the Jets.
Fehr recently suited up for his first five games in a Jets uniform, notching an assist in his last game on November 29th against Ottawa.
However, Fehr didn't seem 100% as he was a minus three and didn't seem to be using his 6'4 frame to its full advantage.
At times, Fehr seemed frustrated and now he is listed as day-to-day as his shoulder problems have risen back to the surface.
It would be a fair argument to say that Fehr's success in 2009-10 was all attributed to playing with the likes of the Capitals high octane offensive players, however, there is more to the Manitoba native's resume than meets the eye.
Fehr notched 111 points in his final season of junior hockey with the Brandon Wheat Kings and also showed impressive offensive numbers in the AHL with the Hersey Bears - twice scoring 20 goals or more in a season.
Indeed, Fehr has the arsenal and the talent to be a 20 goal scorer in the NHL and he has reached that plateau - albeit with Ovechkin, Semin, and Backstrom.
But with a young, enthusiastic, and talented young forward core in Winnipeg, Fehr should be counted upon to not only score but to wreak havoc at the top of the paint and in the corners.
Fans should not lose hope in the state that the hometown player is in because, when healthy, Eric Fehr could be one of the most dangerous Jets on the ice.
We all saw Fehr takeover the 2011 Winter Classic.
We all know he notched 21 goals two seasons ago.
Now, it's time for us to realize that perhaps Eric Fehr may need more time to heal than originally thought.
And if it helps him get back to where he was and where he can contribute the most - then that's worth the trade value of Eric Fehr.

I meet so many GLBT people who are angry. They say they're angry at the church, at their parents, at society. In reality, they are very angry with God. Why are we so afraid to get into a tangle with God? Why are we, as gays and lesbians, so afraid to admit that we're angry with God? Why is it so hard for us to bring that anger to God?
We get mad at God for making us gay in the first place. In my own experience, I even got mad at God for not making me straight as I had been told God would! Anger goes with the territory for us, and we must learn how to give our anger (often justifiable anger) to God rather than to throw it at God.
We feel we shouldn't get angry at God! We worry that
God's feelings will be hurt. Or worse yet, God will return our anger - and
we all know how much better at being angry God could be!
I say, Go ahead, be angry at God!
We know that it is the fears conjured up by ignorance and intolerance that
often cause family members to slam the door in our faces and exclude us from
their lives. Yet so often it is easier for us to apportion blame to God,
rather than becoming involved in a process of education for heterosexuals so
that the myths about homosexuals may be debunked.
What causes us to be angry? In most cases all our anger is caused when we don't see things going the way we think they should (judgment), whether they affect us directly or they are just the opinions or actions of others that we don't feel fit our definition of right (judgment).
For a long time, it was not so much that I hated God. It was sort of like the issue of my bisexual orientation and my attraction to men as well as women. God and religion was an issue that I knew in my heart was something very real, but I chose not to think about or deal with it. As I have written before, however, I could not come to terms with my sexuality until I came to terms with God.
After learning these truths of grace and mercy that God provides to me, His child, how can I ever be angry with Him again? I cannot. All I can do now is thank Him for His Son, who saved me from condemnation, from guilt and shame, and who has brought to me the promise of an eternal glory, of ruling and reigning with Him in heavenly places.
Don't be angry with God, or with anyone else, for that matter. If you choose to listen to others, rather than to God's call
on your life, only you are to blame!
Being angry with God would be convenient. After all, if He's to blame and if He's in the wrong then it takes the heat off me. I have my new car, my digital TV subscription and my new bathroom floor but, hey, suffering and starvation are God's problems so I'm just angry -- comfortable, safe, rich and angry but angry.
Many of you have rejected and abandoned the church because of the anger
that church has created in you through rejection and abuse. You are not
angry with God. But are you? We have been so brain washed by the
"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" preaching and teaching of
evangelical churches that we have difficulty seeing God any other way.
The maniacal street preacher who screams about hell to passers-by is at least more logically consistent with his own beliefs than the suburban Baptist who listens to "contemporary Christian music" every day but never warns his unsaved friends and co-workers about hell.
I believe that because of the depth of God's love, she has known the depth of love's opposite, and can skate on a spectrum that is linear and eternal, able to nestle in with us wherever we are on that spectrum.
After much prayer and struggling, I finally left the denomination in which I grew up. It was the most difficult decision I ever had to make in my life but I just did not feel I had a choice. I came to realize I was unwelcome and unwanted in that denomination and would never be welcome or wanted. Regardless how good a life I lived, even if I obeyed all the legalist rules about what I could and could not do, I would be unwelcome, unwanted, and unaccepted.
Dylan was only ten or so when it started. The nagging thoughts of not being normal and the pressure to fit in but being unable to do so. And, of course the
name calling. "Faggot." I cringe every time I hear it.
Some members even plan to go to homecoming this year sporting oru-shirts and gay pride pins to draw attention to their cause. They, of course, have received some negative reactions from current and former students, but overall, they've received a lot of positive feedback and have even added supportive straight alumni to their membership roll.
The response by the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (GLBT)
community to the recent John Paulk incident, in which Exodus board
chair John Paulk was discovered sipping drinks in a gay bar, has been
venom-filled, entirely un-Christian, and damaging to the cause of GLBT
rights in America. We can and must do better if our struggle for GLBT
equality is to bear fruit.
Blessed Bi Spirit is a collection of 32 articles, poems, prayers, and stories from bisexual men and women on a wide variety of spiritual paths: Buddhist, Pagan, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Native American, and others. While some of the theological articles are a little wordy, the poems and prayers are beautiful, and the personal stories are fascinating and bittersweet.
By saying God is a Trinity, we are saying that the deepest, most abiding
reality that stands behind all and under all is God, is Relationship, is
Community, is Mutuality, is Love - the give and take experienced by two
entities that are involved with loving one another- the lover and the beloved
and the aliveness exchanged between them that takes on a life of its own!
There are times, Mary, when the world is dark and harsh and uninviting.
But this is not news to you. You know all too well the language of anguish
your gay and lesbian children speak when crying out against the hatred, fear,
and religious discrimination leveled against us, for you have drunk deeply
from such wells.

House Votes Down Bill to Standardize Drivers Ed
PIERRE - A measure that would set up a coordinated drivers' education system with statewide standards for course content, instruction, testing and instructor certification has failed in the South Dakota House.
The bill was one of a handful to come out of the Task Force on Teen Driving Safety.
The Senate Transportation Committee last week attached a $50,000 appropriation to the bill, which forced sponsors to get a two-thirds vote. Two attempts to strip the appropriation failed, and the bill twice couldn't garner two-thirds support.
Democratic Rep. Peggy Gibson of Huron argued that the federal government is providing money to hire a drivers' education coordinator so the appropriation is unnecessary.
But Republican Rep. Lance Russell of Hot Springs says he's concerned about sequestration and whether the money would be available.

Argument Among Roommates Leads to Arson at Sioux Falls Apartment
Police say it began as a disagreement among three Sioux Falls roommates, and it ended with one of them arrested for first-degree arson.
Captain Greg VandeKamp says police and Sioux falls Fire Rescue units were called shortly after noon on Thursday to the 3200 block of North Cliff Avenue, where a fire had been started in a bathroom:
VandeKamp says the roommate had stuffed clothing into a vent and started the clothing on fire, but he says the only damage was in the vent and to a hamper in the bathroom. He says 38-year-old David Whitten was treated for a head wound and arrested on a first-degree arson charge.
Whitten's roommates, one male and one female, were not charged. VandeKamp says alcohol was a factor in the roommates' dispute.

LEXINGTON, KY -- Urban Active recently closed two of its clubs in the Cincinnati area.
The Mount Washington and Eastgate locations closed due to a poor economic climate, says KT Remus, the senior director of marketing and advertising for Global Fitness Holdings LLC, the parent company of Lexington, KY-based Urban Active. Remus adds the shopping centers in the areas around the two clubs had closed, reducing a lot of traffic into the clubs.
"As an industry as a whole, we hate hearing about other gyms in other chains closing locations," Remus says. "It's not good for our industry. It is hard for everybody [to close the clubs], but it's necessary, and it's only going to lead to bigger and better things for Urban Active."
Remus says the members from the two closed clubs have the option to use any of the 10 Urban Active clubs in the Cincinnati area, including the company's newer clubs in that market.
Urban Active has 34 clubs in operation, primarily in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. The company also has expanded into Pittsburgh, Omaha, NE, and Charlotte, NC. Urban Active also closed a club in Brentwood, TN, earlier this year. The closing of the clubs is not a sign that the company is struggling, Remus says.
"We don't anticipate closing any more clubs," Remus says. "We've been in the Cincinnati market for over a decade, and our product out there has aged somewhat. We're just trying to keep the vines ripening with new opportunities."

Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera has publicly admitted that his job is on the line in the second half of the season. Many of the Panthers players will be let go, too, if they don't turn things around.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
You'd think that would be enough motivation to get a win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday, but Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams said another factor really got him going. The Panthers were the opponent for the Redskins' "Homecoming Game." Say what?
"I have to say this, because it's been bothering me all day, and it's probably going to bother me for some time," Williams said after being asked an unrelated question Monday, according to Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post. "I got up this morning, I was feeling pretty good. Got my breakfast, got something to drink, got on the bus. Business as usual. I get over and I pick over the game day (program), and I'm looking at the (program), it's customary.
"And I look on there and it says homecoming. And I'm thinking to myself, like, this is the National Football League. Are you serious? Homecoming? Homecoming. And it's not like you tried to hide it. You blatantly put it on the front of the game day (program). And you're talking about somebody fired up today? I was pissed."
Williams says the whole team was motivated by the fact that the Redskins wore throwback uniforms and invited dozens of ex-Redskins to the game. The Panthers responded with a complete victory.
"I think it was their homecoming, which was kind of embarrassing for us to be in," quarterback Cam Newton said, via The Associated Press. "And that was a challenge. I think some of the guys took that and put it as a chip on their shoulder."
Williams definitely was leading the charge.
"It was the whole team," Williams said. "It was the whole team. That was definitely motivating. I mean, you don't say you're gonna have a homecoming in the National Football League. I mean, you do it in college. It's (against) one of those teams that's just terrible. You don't book a good team for homecoming... I don't know if they had a dance or anything; I just know you don't give a team extra motivation by putting that on your program, just blatantly coming out and saying you're our homecoming game."
Going into Sunday, the Panthers would have been a logical homecoming opponent. They had one win.
Now the Redskins are just like the Panthers -- already looking to 2013.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

A man "who lived inside himself"
I came across a rather sad story in a hundred-year-old issue of the Kentucky New Era:
One of the County's Most Eccentric Characters
Strange Boyd Griffey, of South Christian, Succumbs to Pneumonia
Boyd Griffey, a very eccentric character of near Howell, Ky., died a day or two ago. He was Southern Kentucky's hermit, says the Clarksville Chronicle.
He lived on a small farm within three miles of Howell, on the Clarksville and Princeton branch of the Louisville and Nashville, R.R., but there are persons of Howell who, it is said, have never seen this strange individual. Griffey never visited in the neighborhood in which he was so long a resident, and never allowed himself to be observed. Possibly this was the main cause of his death.
On November 3rd hard-working Democrats were making an endeavor to get all the voters to the polls possible, and the name of the old hermit, Griffey, was suggested. He was sent for and finally prevailed upon to come to the voting place and cast his ballot. But no one deemed it would be the last time he would ever venture from his humble home.
He contracted cold, which developed into pneumonia, and he died alone at his farm-house.
His age, nor anything connected with his life, except that he lived within himself, could be learned regarding this strange man.
Source: Weekly Kentucky New Era, page 3 of the November 27, 1896, edition.
I ran Boyd Griffey's name through the search engine on Ancestry.com and found that he had lived in Christian County, KY, for over 65 years. His family tree shows that he had family all over this general area. It strikes me as untrue that "nothing could be learned regarding this strange man." Surely at least one of his many relatives remembered his existence? I think the newspaper writer was striving for dramatic effect.
George Griffey Sr. (Boyd's father) is listed on the 1840 census for Christian County, KY. In that census, only the name of the head of household was recorded, so we must use our powers of reason a little. The Griffey household included 9 white people and 7 slaves. The summary for the Griffey family included:
Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 14: 1
Free White Persons - Males - 15 thru 19: 2
Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 4
Free White Persons - Males - 50 thru 59: 1
Free White Persons - Females - 50 thru 59: 1
Working from the birthdates given in the family tree, it's safe to say that Boyd Griffey was the "Free White Person - Male - 10 thru 14." The female between 50 and 59 years of age was certainly his mother, and most or all of the other six young men in the household were surely his brothers.
In 1850, the first census on which Boyd Griffey's name appears, he was 21 years old. The household was much smaller than in the previous census-- now only Boyd, his father (George Griffey, age 63) and his brother (George Griffey, age 26) were in the home. Boyd's mother had passed away. George Sr.'s occupation was reported as "Farmer", George Jr.'s occupation was "Overseer", and Boyd's occupation was "Schoolteacher."
Ten years later (1860 Federal census), Boyd and his brother George are listed as separate farmers, but side by side on the page, as if living in the same house. Both are still bachelors, and George Sr. has passed away. Between Boyd and George, they own 15 slaves.
An 1861 marriage record shows that George D. Griffey (age 38) married Catherine. A. Rives (age 23). A Rives family is in the neighborhood with the Griffeys on several of the census pages, so his bride may have been a neighbor girl.
In the 1870 census, Boyd Griffey has several black people listed as members of his household -- Thomas Wall (age 62, farm worker), Ellen Griffey (age 12, domestic servant), Jack Griffey (age 10, farm worker), Anderson Griffey (age 17, farm worker), and Ben Griffey (age 7). Kentucky was in a period of upheaval and transition following the Civil War, and child labor was common across the nation, but still, does this group of children strike you as unusual? I wonder what the circumstances were.
Following the listing for Boyd's household, Brother George was listed as the next household. He was the only member of his household -- no wife recorded. Information for several black families follows George's name. They were probably working on the Griffey farms.
In 1880, Boyd Griffey was alone in the Garretsburg township of Christian County. His fondness for solitude may have been deepening. The next two households on the page (his nearest neighbors) were families of black people who were probably living and working on his farm. Clearly, Boyd and his brother George had parted ways. George was listed in District 11 of the Garretsburg township, but Boyd was in District 16. This census notes that George was divorced and Boyd was widowed. I wonder if the latter was accurate.
All but a few pages of the nation's 1890 census records were lost in a Treasury Department fire, so nothing is available for that year. By then, Boyd may have avoided the census taker anyway, if the newspaper article about his self-imposed isolation is to be believed.
It is a curious and sad thing how a young man capable of teaching school became a recluse as he aged. Maybe he suffered from depression or a more severe form of mental illness. And it's ironic that his desire for solitude moved me to draw attention to him.
I now withdraw the spotlight. Rest in peace, Boyd Griffey.
|"Solitude" by Louis Rémy Mignot (1831–1870)

Three weeks in and we're almost done with the auditions. We've seen it all -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's always been entertaining though.
On this episode, we heard from two Maryland contestants. One made a lasting impression and the other ... not so much. More on that later.
We started off with Britney playing pranks on the assistant. She asked for a straw hat (for no reason) and a crown (for no reason.) She's so crazy!
The auditions kicked of back in Providence, Rhode Island. Adonis and John, 32 & 33, were in the back getting pumped up yelling backstage, "This is Sparta."

Jimmy Smits (born July 9, 1955) is an American actor. Smits is perhaps best known for his roles as attorney Victor Sifuentes on the 1980s legal drama L.A. Law, as NYPD Detective Bobby Simone on the 1990s police drama NYPD Blue, and as U.S. Congressman (and later President of the United States) Matt Santos on The West Wing. He is also notable for his portrayal of Bail Organa in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and Miguel Prado in Dexter. In the fall of 2010, he starred in NBC's short-lived series Outlaw, about a U.S. Supreme Court justice who leaves the bench to return to practicing law.
Smits was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Cornelius Smits, was a Surinamese immigrant of Dutch descent who managed a screen-printing factory. His mother, Emilina, was a Puerto Rican who worked as a nurse. Smits was raised in a strict devout Roman Catholic family. "Jimmy" is actually the name on his birth certificate, rather than "Jim" or "James." He has two sisters, Yvonne and Diana. He grew up in a working-class neighborhood and spent time in Puerto Rico during his childhood. Smits earned a bachelor's degree from Brooklyn College in 1980 and an MFA from Cornell University in 1982. Though born in New York, Smits has deep Puerto Rican roots and frequently visits the island. In 2001, he was arrested for his participation in protests against U.S. Navy bombing practices on the Puerto Rican offshore island of Vieques.
A notable early role played by Smits was that of Eddie Rivera in the series premiere of Miami Vice. In the episode, he was Sonny Crockett's original partner, only to be shortly killed off in a sting gone wrong. He played Victor Sifuentes in the first five seasons of the long-running legal drama L.A. Law.

About the trainer
Marion Brown, PhD, RSW
We are all influenced by stories. In some of these stories, we are active players; other stories are thrust upon us. When problems occur (as they inevitably do), "problem stories" have a tendency to overshadow other stories. A narrative counselling framework seeks to explore the numerous stories that shape and influence identity, problems, and preferred directions in life. Narrative therapy has been found to be a useful approach to many problems such as addictions, trauma, and mental health concerns. In addition, it also works well with diverse populations and age groups. This interactive workshop will provide participants with the tools and processes to begin using narrative frameworks with their clients.
About This Workshop
Some of the Topics Reviewed
- Key Concepts and Guiding Principles
- What Makes a Good Question
- The Art of Question Development
- Considerations Around Note Taking
- The Intertwining of Assessment and Intervention
- Getting to Know the Problem
- Highlighting the Preferred Narrative
- Exploring Supports
- The Role of Letter Writing
- Challenges and Critiques of Narrative Therapy
Target Audience
This is an intermediate level workshop for social service and health care professionals, counsellors, social workers, school personnel, and anyone wanting to gain increased capacity in counselling skills.
Method of Delivery
Presentation, video, case study exercises, experiential practice, personal reflection, and small group discussions.

Questions & Answers on greenhouse gas emissions from shipping
1. What initiatives to address maritime emissions has the Commission taken today?
The European Commission has today adopted a Communication1 setting out a strategy for progressively including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from maritime transport in the EU's policy for reducing its overall GHG emissions.
As a first step in implementing this strategy, the Commission has proposed a Regulation which would establish an EU-wide system for the monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from large ships starting in 2018. The draft Regulation requires approval by the European Parliament and Council to become law.
2. Why is action needed to reduce maritime shipping emissions?
While shipping is more fuel-efficient than other transport sectors, its GHG emissions are significant and growing fast. Without action, maritime GHG emissions are expected to more than double by 2050, due to anticipated growth in the world economy and associated transport demand.
Emissions from maritime transport account for 3% of global GHG emissions today and this share is expected to reach 5% by 2050. At EU level, the international maritime sector today accounts for 4% of GHG emissions and these are also expected to increase significantly in the future. Such growth would undermine the efforts by other sectors to cut the EU's overall GHG emissions.
3. Why is the Commission proposing measures at EU level, not internationally?
The European Union and its Member States have consistently supported ambitious international action to address climate change. They are actively engaged in current discussions within the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to develop energy efficiency standards for existing ships and on other medium- to long-term measures. Monitoring and reporting proposals are part of this gradual approach.
The EU has a strong preference for a global approach to maritime emissions led by IMO. The EU and its Member States are working closely in IMO with the USA, Japan, Australia, Canada, Russia, Korea and others on these issues.
Consistent with this international cooperation, the EU system of MRV for shipping emissions is designed as a concrete contribution to building an international system. First steps in this direction have recently been taken at the IMO, with active support from the EU and partner countries. By yielding further insights into the sector's potential to reduce emissions, an MRV system will also provide new opportunities to agree on efficiency standards for existing ships.
The Commission's proposal combines monitoring of data on CO2 emissions with other data related to energy efficiency. This will facilitate the alignment of the EU scheme with any IMO system agreed in future.
4. What does the Commission's progressive approach to addressing maritime emissions consist of?
The strategy set out in the Communication consists of three consecutive steps:
Priority is given to establishing an MRV system because it is necessary for the other two steps. Robust MRV of emissions will deliver robust data for setting emission reduction targets. It is also a prerequisite for any market-based measure or efficiency standard, whether applied at EU level or globally.
5. What are the costs and benefits of the proposed MRV system?
The Commission's analysis of the proposal shows the MRV system will be economically profitable for the shipping sector. The predicted fuel cost savings would outweigh the cost of monitoring, reporting and verification of emissions, leading to net cost savings of up to €1.2 billion a year by 2030.
The MRV system would also reduce emissions by up to 2% compared with a 'business as usual' scenario. By providing reliable data on ships' fuel consumption and emissions, the system would encourage the sector to implement technical and operational measures for reducing emissions and fuel consumption at no (or even negative) cost. Such measures are already available but not sufficiently used. Their uptake is currently hampered by market barriers such as lack of information and lack of access to finance.
While yielding environmental and economic benefits, the EU MRV system is also designed to contribute actively to an IMO agreement on global measures to reduce shipping emissions based on MRV systems.
6. What are the expected impacts on trade?
As the MRV system is expected to trigger efficiency gains, maritime transport costs would decrease compared with business as usual. Extra-EU trade would particularly benefit since more than 90% of it is transported by ship.
7. What journeys will be covered by the monitoring and reporting obligations?
The application of the MRV rules will follow the principles of international maritime law in that it will be applied in a non-discriminatory manner to all ships regardless of their flags.
From 1 January 2018, CO2 emissions and fuel efficiency will need to be monitored for:
After being monitored, this data will need to be independently verified and then reported to the Commission and the ship's flag state.
Emissions from vessels within ports will also need to be monitored, reported and verified. This is intended to encourage the use of available shore-based emission-reduction technologies.
8. What obligations will the Regulation impose on ship owners, and by when?
The monitoring and reporting obligations will apply by calendar year.
Annual emissions and other relevant information from shipping activities will need to be collected from 2018 onwards. This will be done according to the methodology agreed in each ship's monitoring plan. The data will then need to be verified by an accredited verifier and reported to the Commission and to the ship's flag State.
Verified emission reports for shipping activities in 2018 covered by the EU Regulation are to be submitted by 30 April 2019.
By 30 June of each year, starting in 2019, ships covered by the Regulation will have to carry on board a valid document confirming compliance in the previous year with the monitoring and reporting obligations. Flag state and Port State authorities will check ships' compliance through inspections.
Ship owners can choose from a list of four monitoring methods. Depending on their choice, monitoring could be entirely based on documents and data which are already carried on all ships today, such as bunker fuel delivery notes.
9. Are non-EU ships also covered? What about small ships?
The Regulation will cover all types of ships above 5000 gross tons with the exception of the following categories, which are fully exempted: warships, naval ships, ships for catching or processing fish, ships not propelled by mechanical means, yachts and government ships for non-commercial purposes.
Based on the principles of non-discrimination and flag neutrality, the Regulation will apply to any such ship calling at any EU port, irrespective of where it is registered.
The 5000 gross ton threshold means that only large ships emitting significant levels of emissions will be covered. The threshold has been selected after a careful and objective analysis aimed at avoiding administrative burdens on small and medium-sized ships which do not produce significant emissions. The Commission estimates that the MRV requirements will apply to 90% of the CO2 emissions arising from voyages to, from and between EU ports, and to around 55% of ships calling at EU ports.
10. What types of data will be collected?
The primary objective is to collect data on CO2 emissions, which will help raise the sector's awareness of its contribution to climate change. Accordingly, the amount and type of fuel consumed by ships on routes covered by the Regulation are the core data to be collected.
Ship owners will also have to provide information on distance travelled, cargo carried and time spent at sea, in particular to obtain a general overview of ships' average energy efficiency. This will facilitate the alignment of the EU regulation with the on-going IMO discussions, which focus on enhancing the energy efficiency of the sector.
The proposed MRV system will not cover other GHGs besides CO2 nor air pollutants since measuring equipment for these is currently not sufficiently reliable. However the scope could be expanded at a later stage, in order to clarify and simplify monitoring and reporting requirements.
11. When will the Regulation enter into force?
The proposal will be discussed by the European Parliament and Council under the co-decision procedure. This can take one to two years before agreement is reached and legislation adopted.
The Commission proposes that the Regulation enters into force in July 2015. This would allow the Commission and Member States to prepare the necessary measures through implementing and delegated acts, but no specific obligations for ship owners would arise at that moment. The MRV obligations will apply to shipping activities carried out from 1 January 2018.
12. What if IMO adopts a global framework for maritime emissions?
The likely timeline for the Regulation's adoption leaves ample opportunity for the IMO to make progress before the EU rules come into force. Moreover, in the draft Regulation the Commission specifically states its intention to propose amendments to take into account progress towards an international agreement on global measures to reduce GHG emissions from maritime transport.

A slice from Nunzio's is a pristine exercise in elegant pizza minimalism. It's not very big, so pizza-by-the-ton Ray's fans should go elsewhere. Yet everything about it is right: the ratio of sauce to cheese, the crisp yet pliant crust, and the tangy sauce enlivened by fresh basil. I love the sausage Nunzio's puts on its slices. It's nubby, loaded with flavor, and has plenty of fennel in it. Nunzio's even looks the way a pizzeria should: It is a white stucco shack with a tiny dining room brightened by black-and-white photos of the original Nunzio's in South Beach, Sraten Island.

Bergans of Norway, famous for creating outerwear and outdoor accessories, for over 100 years, began in 1908 by creating legendary rucksacks has created outerwear that has allowed people throughout the years to work, live and play, in winter and remain warm and dry.
I was on my way to a ski trip to Banff Lake Louise, Alberta Canada and realized I didn't have the proper outerwear for the trip. It was important to me to get the best looking highest quality ski wear that would not only prevent me from being cold but also keep me from being too warm while on the slopes. In order to find the ski wear that matched my requirements and to ensure I stayed as warm in the frozen tundra of Alberta Canada, I did as I always do and began my search for the perfect winter outerwear on Google which led me to Bergans of Norway. They matched my requirements perfectly.
Bergans of Norway, with over 100 year history of creating outerwear and outdoor accessories, began in 1908 by creating legendary rucksacks which throughout the years evolved into the modern backpack. Bergans of Norway, another people group who live in the frozen tundra, along with the legendary rucksack, has created outerwear that has allowed people throughout the years to work, live and play, in winter and remain warm and dry.
So after researching the history of Bergans of Norway I decided the Stranda Softshell Jacket, the Isogaisa Jacket and Oppdal Pants were something I wanted to try. The first impression upon receiving Bergans of Norway Ski wear was the beauty and quality of the garments but, the true test came with the extreme weather conditions Bergans of Norway boost of protecting wearers from.
My first ski day was in a blizzard with high winds that nearly knocked you down, zero visibility, heavy blowing and drifting snow and cold but thanks to my protective cocoon of Bergans of Norway outerwear I was snug as a bug in a rug! I was protected from the elements, warm and able to focus on my instructor without the weather distractions of lesser quality clothing.
The Stranda Softshell Jacket of Bergans of Norway has fixed hood, high collar and a zippered front. Stranda Softshell Jacket of Bergans of Norway also has chest and sleeve pockets and welded sleeve pockets and a chest pocket for a media player. The ending of the sleeves are tapered with extra long ventilation zippers under armpit and a Velcro cuff adjustment, defined elbows with an Extended back panel and a draw cord at the hem.
The Isogaisa Jacket of Bergans of Norway, a lightweight technical jacket made from 3-layer New Generation Dermizax. The ultra thin Dermizax membrane utilizes the membranes polymer molecule movement, to efficiently absorb perspiration build up on the fabric's inner layer. The buildup vapor than permeates through the fabric, quickly escaping and evaporating to the outside.
Bergans of Norway's Isogaisa Jacket could be called a smart jacket. Made of new Dermizax, the Isogaisa Jacket internal membrane is waterproof and windproof. As the Isogaisa Jacket breathes, the perspiration wicking capability is doubled, allowing the wearer to stay warm during extended time in sub-zero temperatures. It has four-way stretch material allowing freedom of movement and has an extended back, a fixed hood customized for helmet with an asymmetrical closing in the front. Front pockets, chest pocket, sleeve pocket, inner pocket and goggle pocket lined with mesh for extra ventilation. Isogaisa Jacket of Bergans of Norway has pockets to spare!
A couple days later while skiing at Lake Louise, the conditions were exactly opposite, beautiful, sunny clear perfect, and yet my Bergans of Norway, outerwear were able to adjust utilizing the features, built in to the clothing including utilizing the zipper and one of my favorite features was the waist strap to seal the jacket to keep the snow from getting inside your clothes. Oppdal Pants of Bergans of Norway, a lined, lightweight, technical pant made from a soft and comfortable material, are a 2-layer waterproof, windproof and made with perspiration wicking Bergans Element.
Oppdal Pants has four-way stretch Front pockets, back pocket, ventilation zips outside of the thighs and zip from the knee down. They're high-waisted with a detachable back panel, adjustable suspenders and Velcro adjustment at the waist and belt hoops.
Also the Oppdal Pants of Bergans of Norway have tailored knee sections, reinforced sections on the inside leg and Velcro adjustment at the ankles, Internal, fixed gaiter with internal friction elastic, hook attachment for boot and hoop to attach gaiter band and a reflective logo. The next day I did snow shoeing in heavy powder up to 8 feet deep ergo the snow shoes and during the shoeing had the Bergans of Norway snow protectors feature failed I would be shoeing with snow and soppy wet socks up to my knees.
So based on the very condition I experienced on my six day trip to Alberta, Canada, I highly recommend and will exclusively use Bergans of Norway and look forward to testing, in my extreme weather trips, additional Bergans of Norway items.
