The inconspicuous bookmark
Our paper-thin Page Nibs mark book pages in a most inconspicuous manner, and their smooth finish is kind to delicate pages. You can move these bookmarks as often as you want or leave them in books permanently, as they won't harm pages.
Each point measures just 1/2W x 1H
Made of phosphorous bronze
Three dozen, in a reusable tin
Page Nibs
Mark Bible Passages
I have purchased several tins of these page points over the years. I find that the uses are only limited to what I can think up. I would rather use them than a bookmark because I can go right back to where I left off. I used them to mark passages when I was preparing to speak. I use them to mark passages in the Bible for later reference. They are just wonderful and a great gift!

Page Nibs, A Reader's Must Have!
I use Page Nibs all the time. I use them to mark pages with significant passages or quotable phrases that are special. When someone asks me why I like a particular book or author I can find the page with the Page Nib on it and read it to them. I also use them to mark pages of how to books (particularly software) when I know I will need to refer to them again in the future.

Unobtrusive Markers
These page holders are high quality, easy to use and unobtrusive. They work very well as long as the book paper is of sufficient weight (As a Bible student, the very thin weight of many reference Bibles make these nibs a little more challenging to use... I am still able to use them, but you have to be very careful putting them on). I love using these page markers!
November 9, 2013
Impressive sign here
Unusual and impressive looking. Use then to mark your own books or use as an upmarket SIGN HERE marker for clients. Much better than the usual red plastic stick-ons and receives comments about where they can be bought. Careful that you have an extra box to give to important clients if they compliment too much.

Simple Reusable Page Markers
I LOVE these Page Nibs and have used them for years to mark pages in college text books, electrical reference and code books. The copper is easy to use and reshape if they get bent, and they easily come off when you are done with a book, ready for reuse in your next book. I'm on my 4th or 5th tin because some books are just too good to take the markers out of. They look great and draw comments from others all the time.

Useful but pricey
I have been using these for at least 10 years -- very useful. But the price was always high, and recently went up 20%.
June 1, 2013
useful but tricky
I love the design of these and how light they are. However, I've noticed the grip tends to be tight and unless I am very careful, can tear pages of my paperbacks. I've found it best to carefully remove the page nibs, then carefully put them in place where I need it. No sliding down the page for me, as that would rip the pages of my books. :( They are also a bit pricey. They look fantastic though and I love how they make it easy to mark your place without adding too much bulk.

nibs are fabulous
I missed having the Levenger page points - am I the only one who needs and uses these things - until the nibs appeared. They really come in handy when trying to keep organized and I love the way they are easy to use and move around and/or stay in place.
April 27, 2013
These really work!
I am an avid reader and I respect all books. I never dogear and often my bookmarks would slip out, so I needed something just like these Page Nibs. I have had my first set I bought some 10 years ago and they still work perfectly. I highly recommend.
March 19, 2013
Not as good as the old Page Points
For those that have never used this type of product before, these will seem fine, but the Page Points that Levenger used to offer were far superior. They were triangular without strange sharp points on the sides, and they didn't have the annoying brand. PLEASE BRING BACK THE PAGE POINTS, LEVENGER!!! I have been buying old Page Points from ebay whenever they're offered at a reasonable price because I'd far rather have them than these, and wish Levenger would revert to the old style/manufacturers.

Mike Nikzad, chief operating officer at Iomega, explains the risks involved with cloud data storage, and offers tips for VARs who are moving in that direction with their SMB customers.— Jennifer Bosavage, editor
The decision to manage data, applications and websites in the cloud has developed an impressive track record of success. By keeping IT overhead low, this flexible, efficient and scalable method of storing and accessing corporate data from nearly anywhere would seem like a silver bullet for small businesses and enterprises alike.
[Related: How To Help SMBs Meet Their Cloud Storage Needs ]
Yet outsourcing IT to the cloud is not risk-free. Recent high-profile outages and data vulnerabilities provide a sobering reminder that there is no substitute for experience when it comes to a successful installation. The following experience-based tips are meant to aid VAR/Integrators in helping small business and enterprise customers in moving data to the cloud.
1) Evaluate your customer's current and future storage needs
To steer your SMB customer toward the right cloud-based storage solution, take these points into consideration:
• Price/performance: Large-scale solutions can scare off a SMB. Customers will aim for the best performance/space for the least cost. This is where you need to consult; make your customer aware of options that will meet (or exceed) their space capacity needs at a price they can afford.
• PC or Mac? Be 'environmentally' friendly: Is your customer operating a mixed environment (PC and Mac, perhaps Linux)? If so, you will need to look at options that support this environment. If you are considering a network attached storage (NAS) device, make sure it's agnostic and supports PC and Mac files alike, because not all do.
• Back it up: If you decide to use a network attached storage combined with the cloud, once you get your data on the device, consider how to back it up and where redundancy is needed. You can deliver data to a cloud-based NAS device on a remote site using a private cloud, or stream it to a public cloud like Mozy or Atmos.
• Automate: You'll want to automate the process of moving data to the cloud alleviating the need to change tapes or move hard drives. Secure your customer's NAS appliances in facilities where nothing can get lost due to theft or natural disasters.
• Contingencies and expandability: Rather than continually adding storage capacity with supplemental USB hard drives, consider using a NAS device. Some NAS solutions can expand up to 36 TB or more, enabling storage capacity to grow with the business.
2) Private vs. public cloud storage
After you and your SMB customer have determined that a cloud-based storage solution will be part of their go-forward strategy, you need to direct them toward the type—private or public—that will best fit their requirements and budget. Business critical applications, regulatory concerns, required service levels, workload usage patterns and integrating applications with other enterprise functions are all considerations that drive a decision toward private or public cloud storage.
• Private cloud: In a private (or internal) cloud installation, the company installs its own server and storage hardware; they have the flexibility to shift workloads among servers to account for usage spikes or new application deployments. Though more secure, a private cloud could be cost-prohibitive due to the need to purchase servers and software. Businesses with highly critical applications, which operate in heavily regulated compliance environments like banking and pharmaceutical, typically choose internal private clouds.
• Public cloud: Public cloud companies, like Amazon Web Services and Mozy, appeal to companies that want to immediately start using storage and other services via an online portal. These companies have relatively few regulatory limitations, a need to go-to-market quickly and data that doesn't need to be tightly integrated with other parts of the business. Storefronts, bank branches and franchisees without dedicated IT resources also find a public solution compelling because it eliminates the need for onsite servers, operating systems and a large support staff. A word of caution: the more you store in the cloud, the more that storage capacity costs. Encourage your SMB customer to be focus on business critical files that need to be backed up in multiple places.

Massive anti terrorism demonstration in Paris |
Monday, 28 July 2008 | |
More than thousand Sri Lankans and their French friends gathered at Trocadero, the most significant landmark of Paris, under the shadow of the Eiffle Tower, to protest against terrorist attacks unleashed by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), today (28 July). The demonstrators, carrying photographs of the victims of the most brutal killings of innocent civilians by the Tamil Tigers urged France and the European Union to immediately ban the front organizations of the LTTE such as WTM, ORT (TRO of France), Tamil Sangham and other Tamil Eelam associations. They urged the French President Sarkosy, who is the current President of the European Union to take effective action to stop extortion, money laundering, intimidation and harassment of innocent Tamils in France by the LTTE and its mafia gangs like Miinel, VVT Boys and Pambu. The demonstration was organized jointly by United Sri Lankans comprising 11 Sri Lankan associations and several political party branches in France. A large number of second generation Sri Lankans under a banner of Sri Lankan Youth in France were the most vociferous amongst the demonstrators. In addition to Sinhalese and Muslims several members of democratic Tamil political parties also took part in the demonstration. The demonstrators distributed leaflets describing the true terror nature of the LTTE to thousands of French nationals and tourists from all over the globe visiting the magnificent Parisian destination, the Eiffle Tower.

Published: 2/23/2013 9:27 PM | Last update: 2/23/2013 10:12 PM Two Salthawks make it to the podium in wrestlingPlummer and Saffle place 3rd, 5th at Class 6A meet in Wichita.WICHITA - Lex Plummer knows a thing or two about overtime matches. Marc Saffle just knows how to battle.On Saturday, Hutchinson High's biggest wrestlers battled their through the consolation bracket to find their way to the podium at the Kansas Class 6A meet at Hartman Arena.
Plummer, who won two overtime matches on Friday to advance to the Saturday morning's semifinal round of the 220-pound division, lost a 3-2 overtime decision to Blue Valley West's Chall Jenkins. It was his 10th overtime match of the season and dropped Plummer (30-11) into the third-place match against Shawnee Mission North's Armando Contreras, his quarterfinal-round opponent the night before. Once again, Plummer beat Contreras. The only difference this time is that he didn't need overtime. His 3-1 victory gave him a third-place finish in a meet that saw him allow just eight points in five matches. Saffle's road to a fifth-place medal was a little more taxing. He dropped his first match of the tournament in the 285-pound class. He followed that up with three straight pins - Gardner-Edgerton's Hunter Mulford, Olathe North's Dakota Cohu and Wichita South's Larry Ford - to earn a rematch with Junction City's Aaron Refalko, the wrestler who beat him in overtime in the opening round. Rafalko beat him again, but Saffle rebounded for one more pin - this time over Blue Valley Northwest's Don Fowler - to win the final match of his high school career.
Jared Page (27-21) lost his first match in the 160-pound division, but came back Friday with a pin of Shawnee Mission Northwest's Alex Quinn. He fell to Chandler Ayer of Derby in his opening match Saturday.

The times they are a changin' - the progress of our relationship with sexuality

President Barack Obama |
The body, they were taught, was sinful, the infant soul was born polluted, and even the act that created infants was dirty.
This was the early 1980s in Ireland, by the way, and not some far away time.
Across the water in England they'd had the swinging sixties and the pill. In contrast the biggest thing to hit insular Ireland in those years was the Papal visit and Johnny Logan winning the Eurovision Song Contest.
"Sexual intercourse began/In 1963 (which was rather late for me)/between the end of the Chatterley ban/and the Beatles' first LP…"
So wrote the poet Phillip Larkin in his rueful, tender poem in praise of the dramatic shift in public attitudes in England the 1960s that allowed ordinary people to talk about issues that a decade earlier were completely off the menu.
This unprecedented new age of sexual frankness allowed topics like oral sex, orgasms and homosexuality to be openly discussed. Cheap and easily available contraception allowed men and women to take control of their own reproduction (Ireland, as always, would be a very late arrival to the transformation).
If you are conservative, you'll probably remember the 1960s as the decade when long haired and selfish baby boomers turned America and the west upside down.
If you're liberal you'll probably remember it as a damn burst, when all of the oppressive lies about how things ought to be came crashing into the reality of how things were.
At the dinner table kids started challenging their parents over issues of race, sexuality, politics and patriotism. It got messy.
The thing about the 1960s that may also be hard to remember now is that for many people, adults and teenagers alike, those years were often terrifying.
From the nuclear standoff with Russia to the Kent State shootings to the assassination of the two Kennedy brothers to the first gay rights parade in New York City – the lesson is that change, even when it's worthwhile and positive change, can be pretty hair raising when you're standing in the front lines.
I can't imagine what it must have been like to line up for the first Gay Pride Parade in New York City in June of 1970. Homosexuality in 1970 was still classified as a mental illness after all (it wouldn't be declassified by the American Association of Psychiatrists until 1973).
At the time, to be gay was considered on a par with being a card carrying communist -- worse probably.
So it took courage, real courage, to parade through those humid city streets as beer cans and rocks were hurled by jeering bigots, and the police looked for the slightest infraction to throw the marchers into jail.
Ireland, as it always does, decided to put all of the profound social change of those decades on the long finger. We Irish like 100 years notice when it comes to social change.
Instead we presented ourselves as a bastion of purity in a sea of corruption and filth. We paraded about in our Sunday best and tut-tutted at lascivious, immoral England.
We ran a nice, white lacey curtain over our homegrown corruption and filth, while we loudly criticized our neighbors for their shortcomings.
Maybe it's always been like that in Ireland. James Joyce talked about it. It really hadn't changed that much by the 1980s.
So it's uncontroversial to say that it took us decades to come to our senses about the gulf between our rhetoric and our reality. But we did it in the end.
And last week I was deeply moved to see President Barack Obama do likewise. The president of the United States finally stated that the rhetoric of calling for gay rights needs to match the reality, permitting them full citizenship, including the right to strengthen their loving relationships through marriage.
In finally recognizing a reality that the majority of Americans are already familiar with – the reality of gay people in their daily lives – the president has helped move us all toward the future together, but this time free of pretense or dishonesty.
In contrast the Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney looks like an older, washed up version of Mad Men's Don Draper. A yesterday's model of a yesterday's man, desperately trying to make his way back to 1962.
History just isn't on his side.

Andrew007 thinks "the increasing acceptance (not just tolerance) of what was once almost universally regarded as immoral and deviant sexuality" is NOT, as this article suggests, "progress." Let's not forget that every idea that breaks with the past incurs rejection and abuse and dire predictions of slippery slopes and the end of civilization as we know it, for no better reason than that it rejects some part of our past. But the changes we can be most proud of-- civil rights for descendants of slaves, equal rights for women, child-protection laws, and such-- all represented radical breaks with our past and all dealt with the same reaction. We have such an ambivalent, irrational relationship to the past. Connie Chung once told a story anyone can identify with: "I once bought an old car back after I sold it because I missed it so much and I had forgotten that it never ran. It was a British racing car. You know, because I just wanted it back. I could only remember what was good about it."

Part 2: You claim that the increasing acceptance (not just tolerance) of what was once almost universally regarded as immoral and deviant sexuality is a "progress of our relationship with sexuality", and therefore by inference something to be proud of. So what's next, giving tolerance and then acceptance towards other forms of deviant sexual immorality, like paedophilia (already being pushed for), sexual violence (BDSM), bestiality? Or what about other forms of marriage, like polygamy (already being pushed for), polyandry or even publicly-recognised polyamorous relationships? Or how about even abolishing the concept of gender altogether (already starting)? Just where will you draw the line Cahir?
I put it to you that once you abolish the fundamental morality of the ancient tradition of marriage you can't draw the line anywhere, because once you've abandoned the essential morality for one then ultimately you must do it for all … and who's to say that in 10, 20 or 50 years time the once-firm boundary won't be moved again so that once-heinous acts are "tolerated" and then become "acceptable" (just as in Ancient Greece & elsewhere)? Food for thought … I hope …

Cahir, you're so full of liberal ideology I think you need to sit on the 'throne' and expel a bit from you!
You say "move … toward the future together, but this time free of pretense or dishonesty", but it seems very clear to me that by this and other articles you actually mean free of faith or morality, or at least trying to live a good life and fight the good fight. Whilst it's good to be honest about the all-too common gulf between rhetoric and reality, and to bravely face the once-hidden corruption and filth that exists around us, we don't improve things by then going to the other extreme by abandoning faith and moral standards, and just weakly giving in to the dark lusts and evil desires that seem to corrupt ever increasing numbers nowadays. At least in the society of yesteryear, despite all of the things that were wrong, there were men and women of faith and integrity who stood up for what was morally good and decent, and created the society and its institutions you seem to take for granted, without whose sacrifice none of it would have existed in the first place.

Draper is at least sexually alive, in an obsessed, early-'60s way, while Romney,... well, I just don't know how his wife had all those children with him, he seems so sexless. He reminds me of the straight man from the Three Stooges (Moe?), with less hair and no dandruff.

Dirty sheets. Used soap from previous guest and their hair products in tub...so obviously not clean. No towels...only hand towels. Smelly. Moved to another room and walls were dirty, cigarette burns/stains on sink counter, still had to ask for towels. No replacement soap or shampoo on next night. Seems they don't like to exert much effort to clean here. […] Some staff were nice though. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

"Non-Smoking, However . . ."
We intentionally booked a non-smoking room, however our room reeked of cigarette smoked. It was as if they needed a non-smoking room and used a smoking room real quick. We also found small personal items from the previous tenants in the room. In addition, the bathroom could have used a little more attention by the cleaning service. As for the positive, […] it's in a great location - 16 miles from Helen and about the same for Ruby Falls. If I had it to do over, I'd stay at the newer Hampton next door!

"Better hotels to stay at"
The rooms were clean, okay. After being out, we would return to find that the housekeeping staff did not leave new sets of towels in the bathroom. We sometimes used our own beach towels to dry off after bathing. The breakfast food was bland, not very appetizing. I really thought that the staff could make the breakfast that was served to the customers […] better, offering more of a variety of food. My kids and I ate elsewhere for breakfast. Finally, the pool was suspicious looking, my kids and brother, not swimming in it at times. The staff would comment on the pool, warning my family members if it was wise to swim in the pool.

I booked four rooms in conjunction with a family death. All four rooms were not clean, carpets hadn't been swept in quite a while, and a couple had "strange" discolorations on the walls. Furniture, if there was anything other than a desk was badly stained. Beds were barely comfortable. One roomed had to be changed because of issues. This was the best […] available after I found that the Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express didn't have 4 rooms available.

We stayed at the hotel for an overnight family trip to Helen. It was very close to Helen without the Helen prices. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We had a king size room with a roll-away crib for our daughter. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The only thing we disliked about the room was that the AC had only cold for a temp.

Overall we had a good stay but there were two problems. One was the refrigerator was frozen up so it was not cold enough to keep our food and drinks fresh.

"Not what it used to be."
Been using this hotel for the last 2 1/2 years when attending events at my daughter's college. I was very pleased during the first year of our stays at Baymont...but I must admit that I have become somewhat disappointed during recent visits. It seems that the management is taking steps to cut down on costs, which unfortunately is also cutting down on […] quality of service. The housecleaning has been spotty and the breakfast has become shotty. Last time we stayed 2 nights, the room was not made up. And apparently, if you are not in the lobby by 7:30am...you lose out on the option for gravy, fruit, danishes, orange juice and coffee.. We stayed here last weekend and the breakfast tables were never cleaned. We may need to consider the Hampton or Super 8 down the road. for future stays.

"Has potential to be great but has some issues!"
Upon arrival at 4pm, was given a room but the room was not cleaned yet. Noticed the employee was in the process, so we went back down to the lobby and waited for a bit. Was never asked if anything was wrong. Went up again and noticed that the room was still open, so I notified the clerk and they got me another room. The cleaning person did apologize […] over an over because he was the only one cleaning and had 17 rooms. Said, "no problem, I understand". Upon checking the room out, we noticed the fabric chair was stained all over and I just stayed away from it. The coffee grind package was used, only 1 towel in bathroom. We went swimming that night and the heated pool was awesome and refreshing, but I noticed the second night of swimming, none of the used towels or stuff laying around was cleaned up. The breakfast looked good from a distance but more issues there and I could tell other travelers were frustrated too. Orange juice dispenser just had water, no milk one morning, just empty containers, hockey puck biscuits with gravy, no hot water for the oatmeal packs, etc.. I didn't complain because we expected just cereal and juice. Overall I would say the rating is down the middle. This hotel looks nice from the outside and could really have potential to be a 5 star if only the workers would take pride in their hotel and challenged to make it better.

Lacey police are investigating the slaying of a 61-year-old woman who was found dead Tuesday at a home in the 3800 block of 12th Avenue Southeast.
A forensic pathologist determined the death was a homicide after an autopsy Wednesday, county Coroner Gary Warnock said. Warnock identified the woman as Sheri Peters.
Police say they're withholding details such as where Peters was found and how she died to protect the integrity of the investigation.
Peters' body was found about noon by a person who lives at the home, Lt. Phil Comstock said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Lacey police at 360-459-4333 or Thurston County Crime Stoppers 360-493-2222.

CEO Appleton reflected Micron's high-risk business
Steve Appleton mirrored the survivalist streak in the company he led.
Micron Technology CEO Appleton died Friday at 51 years old when a high-performance Lancair plane he was piloting crashed at Boise Airport in Idaho.
Lancairs aren't easy to fly. In fact, they're difficult enough that the Federal Aviation Administration gave notice to Lancair operators in 2009 that the planes had a "disproportionate" number of fatal accidents.
Though Lancairs accounted for only 3 percent of the nation's amateur-built airplanes, they accounted for 16 percent of the fatal accidents in the 11 months prior to the … Read more

No pics sorry to dissapoint. I know when starting a wip blog, you expect pics. I've taken the case apart best i could, cut the holes (one for the psu wires, one for the 4pin and one for the 24 pin and then the sata cables) I've primed the case, sanding tonight when i get home from work. Pics to follow tonight. Specs: Core 2 Duo E7200 Asus P5KE-Wifi √ True √ 2x2gb Patriot Extreme Performance √ EVGA 9600GT √ Samsung F1 500gb√ Samsung SH-S223B √ Antec 300 √ Antec Earth watt 430 √ Vista Ultimate √ Office Standard Kasperksy Internet Security √
haha, sorry about that. I discovered i do not have sanding stuff, so im going to have to grab that....
Sanded the case down, removed all the extra nitty gritty stuff on the case. 2nd coat of primer is going on in the morning. once the 2nd coat is on should i give it a light sanding and then apply the red? or should i just paint red after the primer?
A light sand would give a better finish,, Also because of the dark primer your red will have a darker tone to it,, good pictures make the log, a good read
2nd coat of primer went on but it shows a lot of dirt and dust in the case i spent over an hour last night cleaning the case to make sure this DIDN'T happen. ugh well after this dries then its time to break out the 600 grit and sand the hoe down again! then red should come next or maybe another coat of primer. I know, where are the pics. i just dont have any pic updates :/ Edit: thought about it, going to wet sand the case at 1pm. let sit for 45 till 2. apply 3rd coat of primer after i wash the case. 4:30 first coat of red.
i woudl also cut out the mesh from the front fan holder thingy. seems to block alot of airflow on mine
I may do that. I got a week to finish this case anyway edit: sanded the heck out of the case, so all the nitty gritty is gone for sure. im going to double and triple check this time before i apply primer again but so far, 3 coats of primer should be perfect.
ive never had this much of a problem painting. Every time i clean the case out, and i go to take it back outside to paint, there is dust or something in the case. maybe im painting to far away and its drying as it hits the case?
are you going to wetsand the primer,, wait till it drys, use a cheese cloth to wipe away any dust, then paint
I've been wet sanding after each coat just to smooth it out. I think the "dust" is the paint drying as it hits the case. i had to spray a bit closer and that seemed to fix the majority of it. Still a few sports on the mobo tray and the bottom of the case that have to get sanded but im making progress now. Not much of a blog without pics. but more to come very soon. i hope. Going to let dry overnight and sand in the morning and (if its not raining) then first light coat of red
sorry I just got here.....You need to use Lacquer paint for this... The weather is way too hot to paint with regular spray can enamel. (lacquer paint dries REALLY fast and will leave no gloss...but because it dries so fast you can easily sand between coats (with 600-1000). Than a nice wet coat of an enamel Clear and "voila" bad ass.... With enamel and warm weather its impossible to get a large surface to be even and glossy RED FTW!!!!!
now you tell me. lol well, its for my girlfriends grandparents. so i dont really care that much lols. plus, if this was mine, i would have removed the top and bottoms with the rivets
when painting pro, like on cars you can use different reducers with the paint to make it take longer/less to dry. Spray cans have a very basic reducer and like to be painted in 60-70F. You put on a wet coat and it has a chance to flow and make an even surface. but when its warm the paint almost dries before it hits and never gets a chance to flow so there will be a bunch of unevenness... So far it looks like you did a pretty good job, just next time it will be a lot easier to use Lacquer.
Rust-oleum make a clear coat, that you can use after the red, I've had bad luck with that paint,, make sure not to apply it too thick from one coat to another. from you pictures it looks good so far.

Kim Hasty
RAEFORD - On a fine October evening last year, under a mammoth tent at Raeford Municipal Airport, some 500 people showed up to honor a man who had created his world-class legend on those very grounds.
Gene Paul Thacker, a former Golden Knight who owned the airport and shared his love of skydiving with scores of others at P.K. Airpark, died in August 2012. His son and daughter-in-law figured they would honor his memory by hosting a sit-down dinner to celebrate his life.
"Then we decided that since we had all these people, and they all know his passion, why don't we use this to do something in his honor?'' said Kate Greisser, Thacker's daughter-in-law. "It was a way for him to continue living.''
They turned the event into a fundraiser for the National Skydiving Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame has yet to construct an official building, but Gene Paul Thacker was among its inaugural class of inductees in 2010.
The dinner, complete with a silent auction, ended up raising $65,000 for the Hall of Fame's building fund.
For their efforts, Greisser and her husband, Tony Thacker, who now own the Raeford Parachute Center that Gene Paul Thacker founded, will receive the National Skydiving Museum's Trustees Award during the museum's fundraising weekend celebration in September in Chicago.
Gene Paul Thacker served three tours of duty in Vietnam with the Army and was a Purple Heart recipient. In 1967, he became the first Golden Knight of the Year.
In late 1970, Thacker bought 22 acres next to Raeford Municipal Airport. He and his wife, Billie, created a snack bar before anything else was built on the land.
Fourteen years ago, Thacker acquired Raeford Municipal Airport, which was 232 acres. The family's airpark now has paved runways and hangars.
The fundraising dinner at which Thacker and Greisser will be honored promises to make a big splash. The Parachute Industry Association will announce this year's inductees, and more than 300 people from around the world are expected to attend.
"These people are like movie stars,'' said museum administrator Nancy Kemble. "There will be people getting autographs.''
And many of them owe their careers to one man.
"Gene Paul trained and coached so many world champions," Kemble said. "If he were to list them all, it would be a who's who in the skydiving world."

Created by the Affordable Care Act, Health Insurance Marketplaces, also known as Exchanges, will be set up to facilitate a more organized and competitive market for buying health insurance. Beginning in 2014, Marketplaces will serve primarily individuals buying insurance on their own and small businesses. Federal subsidies in the form of premium tax credits will be available to consumers meeting incomes requirements to make the coverage more affordable. States are expected to establish Marketplaces–which can be a government agency or a non-profit organization–with the federal government stepping in if a state does not set one up. This page highlights some key resources examining Marketplaces and provides you with the standard search result page for a site-wide search on the Marketplaces tag.
