So I have a 5955tg on its way to me now and I'm looking to put it in when it arrives. I've done a little research and found that I'll need a heavy duty servo saver spring (5344X). Do I also need the Proline aluminum servo arm? Are there any alternatives? Any other required parts?
I'm using a Futaba 3PM as my radio, I've heard things like "setting your servo endpoints" before but the concept is foreign to me. Any help on radio settings would be great.

Withdrawal of National Historic Landmark Designation
U.S.S. Inaugural (AM-242) St. Louis, Missouri
The fleet minesweeper was one of many support ships designed to service and protect larger naval vessels operating in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Typically, the minesweeper detected and removed mines before the rest of the fleet arrived, thereby ensuring safe passage for the larger ships. Their job was essential to the safety and success of US naval operations in the Pacific during World War II. The Inaugural was of the Admirable class, the largest and one of the most successful classes of US minesweepers ordered during World War II. These minesweepers were also employed as patrol and escort vessels.
Inaugural performed its duties with distinction. It participated in the invasion of Okinawa, served as a patrol ship in additional battles in the South Pacific, and escorted ships traveling between Hawaii and islands in the Western Pacific. After the war, Inaugural conducted minesweeping operations in the waters around Japan and Korea. By the end of its career, the vessel had cleared 82 mines and was awarded two battle stars for service during World War II.
Decommissioned in 1946, the vessel became part of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet and was finally disposed of by the Navy in 1967. By 1968, Inaugural was relocated to St. Louis to serve as a floating museum. The vessel was designated as a National Historic Landmark on January 14, 1986, as one of two surviving Admirable-class minesweepers used in the Pacific during World War II.
In August 1993, during flooding of the Mississippi River, Inaugural broke loose from its moorings at the Gateway Arch. The ship suffered a breach in its hull, took on water, and rolled on its side. It has remained in that position and partially submerged since that time. Plans to salvage the wreck in one piece and restore it were not feasible. The ship has been determined a total loss, and will be salvaged for scrap metal and museum exhibition purposes.
The Landmark designation of Inaugural was withdrawn on August 7, 2001 because it had ceased to meet the criteria for designation.

Prince William County; Virginia, History Starts Here!
By Renée S. Gordon
"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered."
--Thomas Paine
Prince William County was mandated in 1731 by Virginia's General Assembly and named in honor of the third son of King George, Prince William. When John Smith arrived in 1608 two tribes shared the area, the Dogue, Algonquians, and the Manahoac, a Siouan tribe. Because the Manahoac were more nomadic the colonists had the most contact with the Dogue and though the Dogue were friendly eventually they came to be thought of as liars and cheats. It is widely held that "to lie like a dog" is from this era. By 1730 the Native Americans had moved from the area.
Prince William County is an oft-overlooked treasure filled with unique historic sites and modern attractions that will enchant both the solo traveler and family vacationers. The county's quiet cities and quaint towns are located within 50-miles of Washington, DC, with easy access via I-95.
"Potomac" is a Dogue word meaning "trader" and you will find it in place names throughout the area but none so appropriately named as Potomac Mills. This huge covered mall is already the largest outlet center in the state and they recently announced the opening of several new venues later this year. The more than 220 shops, movie theaters and dining establishments include Neiman Marcus' Last Call, Saks OFF 5th, and a children's play area. This is not just a mall it's a shopper's paradise. www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=1260
Laser Quest is a wonderful adventure for small groups while in the area. This is totally safe and loads of fun. Participants are given a brief orientation and then they test their skills in a futuristic laser maze. Hint; Wear dark clothing. www.laserquest.com
Potomac Mills and Laser Quest are located in the historic village of Woodbridge, the site of the first deeded land and the County Courthouse. The earliest non-native settler was Thomas Burbage in 1653. In 1796 a wooden bridge was constructed over the Occoquan River to provide access to the Potomac Path, a former Indian trade route now Rt. 1, and a plantation and nearby village took the name Woodbridge. The 1731 courthouse had to be erected in the center of an inhabited area and at the time that was Woodbridge. Eleven years later it was relocated.
Eight children were born in a mansion in what is now Leesylvania "Lee's Woods" State Park. The land was patented to the Lee family in 1658 and would be home to the father of Robert E. Lee, Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee Ill. Ironically, Lee II, who owned 55 slaves at his death, introduced a bill into the Colonial Virginia Legislature to tax slavery out of existence in 1766. The property stayed in the Lee family until 1825. The park offers excellent views of the Potomac River and consists of hiking trails, a cardio-fitness trail, a fishing pier, picnic area, boat ramp, amphitheater and visitor center. Freestone Point Confederate Battery, also on the grounds, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). www.visitpwc.com/leesylvaniapark/index.html
In 1714 Richard Blackburn, of Rippon, England, built Rippon Lodge in Woodbridge and today Rippon Lodge Historic Site is one of the premier historic sites in the county as well as its oldest standing colonial structure. Blackburn designed his home as well as the original house at Mount Vernon and his granddaughter married George Washington's brother John. Because of family connections and the tobacco plantation's location near the King's Highway, the Potomac Path, Washington truly slept here.
Blackburn owned four highly skilled slave carpenters and they built Rippon as well as at least four other structures in the area and George Washington's study at Mount Vernon. The house had four rooms and a central staircase originally. In 1800 Richard's son enlarged the house. Legend has it that the house is haunted and Route 1 was altered because people did not want to be on the grounds.
Today visitors to the 30-acre park tour the house, the Little Cabin, family cemetery and grounds. The house is listed on the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom and the NRHP. www.pwcgov.com/historicpreservation
Occoquan's six-block Historic District, bordered by the Occoquan River, was added to the NRHP in 1983. The name means "at the end of the water" and the charming town is filled with Federal and Colonial structures, specialty stores and eateries. A footbridge, the original of which was constructed by Quaker Nathaniel Ellicott who donated the land for the town in 1804, indicates the beginning of the historic area. Ellicott established Merchant's Mill in the 1750s.
The Mill House Museum is a monument to the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. Housed in the restored 1790s miller's office the museum is literally filled with items from the 400-piece collection.
The artifacts showcased here are great but the stories interpreted here are even better. John Underwood, an abolitionist and carpenter, was a thorn in the side of the pro-slavery forces. In 1857 he was fined $312.50 for public Unionist statements. On July 4, 1860 he and a group of fellow Unionists, three of which were free African Americans, hoisted a "liberty pole" in support of Lincoln that was later chopped down. Although the entire 55 votes cast for Lincoln in Prince William County in November 1860 were cast in Occoquan it was no surprise that when, after the war began, Underwood was arrested by Confederate troops during a raid in December of 1861 as a traitor. Upon his release Lincoln made him a US Marshall to honor his loyalty.
Confederates carried out two raids on Occoquan basically to fill army ranks. Interestingly, Samson Greenbrier Sites was "exempted" because he was the county's best moonshiner.
The town had a free black community and their lives are also interpreted. Ebenezer Baptist Church was built in 1883 under the leadership of former slave Lewis Bailey. The congregation held baptisms in the river until the 1950s. The current church was constructed in 1924. www.historicoccoquan.com
Michelle Obama recently stopped in Occoquan's Mom's Apple Pie & General Store for a slice of what is widely held to be the best pie around. This family–owned bakery has been serving baked goods since 1981. www.momsapplepieco.com
The Miss Rivershore departs from the Town of Occoquan Wharf for narrated one hour scenic tours of the Occoquan and Potomac Rivers. The 50-ft pontoon boat is also available for private and fishing charters and round trip rides to Tim's Rivershore Restaurant and Crabhouse. Tim's is situated on the shoreline in Dumfries with a 400-ft. multilevel dock and beach dining. The menu offers the best of the area's seafood and it is a great place to kick back and watch the sunset. www.missrivershorecharters.com and www.timsrivershore.com
On November 15, 1917 33 suffragettes who had been arrested for picketing the White House were transferred to the Occoquan Workhouse. The women suffered outrageous treatment including force-feeding and brutal beatings. The site, now in Lorton, Virginia, is the location of a historic marker honoring women's quest for civil rights.
Dumfries, on Quantico Creek, is the oldest continuously chartered town in Prince William. It began with a gristmill in 1690 and went on to become an important port. The town's most popular attraction is the Weems-Botts Museum, named after two of its owners, Mason Weems and Benjamin Botts. Weems wrote Washington's first biography and is the one who penned the cherry tree story. Botts, who purchased the home in 1802, defended Aaron Burr at his treason trial.
Ninety-minute tours of the Weems-Botts Museum interpret the Colonial, Victorian and Civil War Eras. The Church of England built the house in 1749 for use as the vestry and in 1798 Weems purchased the house for use as a bookstore. The house is furnished with authentic period furniture. One of the subsequent families had an epileptic daughter named Mary who was confined to an upstairs room because they believed her to be insane. Visitors can see the tiny room where she spent her life. This is considered one of the most haunted places in the county and has been the subject of numerous spiritual investigations. www.historicdumfries.com
Quantico dates from the mid-1600s when it was settled as the town of Potomac," by the large stream." Scots settled there and started tobacco farming and by 1690 there was an active gristmill on Quantico Creek. During the Revolution Virginia launched naval operations from the nearby waters and the first acts of the Confederacy after they seceded were to confiscate the ferry that ran to Washington, DC and establish a blockade. Throughout the war soldiers, civilians and spies plied the area's waters. Quantico Marine Corps Base was established in 1917. www.quantico.usmc.mil
"The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of marines. Lord how they could fight." F. Lowe
The 120,000-sq.-ft National Museum of the Marine Corps opened in 2006 on a 135-acre tract adjacent to Marine Corps Base Quantico. From the exterior the museum was designed to remind visitors of the 32-ft. U.S. Marine Memorial Sculpture of planting the flag on Iwo Jima.
To enter the museum is to be submerged in the history of the marines, from 1775 thru Vietnam, and inspired with awe. The rotunda soars and is surrounded by interactive exhibit galleries. Inscribed in the walls at ceiling level are famous quotes that have served as inspiration throughout the years. At floor level there are several full-scale tableaus of Marines in action.
Tours begin in the Boot Camp Gallery where visitors can literally stand in the footprints of a recruit and experience training camp. There are six historical galleries that begin with the authorization by the Continental Congress for two battalions of Marines on November 10, 1775. It is believed that initial recruitment took place in Tun's Tavern in Philadelphia. Galleries are chronological and each has a life-like, experiential, diorama. They are all well done but the five-star highlights for me were the Korean and Vietnam War Galleries.
Visitors enter the Korean War Gallery and are immersed in the lives of the "Frozen Chosin," Fox Company at TokTong Pass immediately prior to an attack by Chinese Troops. There are sound effects, special lighting and the temperature is controlled so that you feel the Korean cold.
You physically enter the Vietnam War Zone through a CH-46 helicopter and are confronted with nightmare scenes, sounds of mortar fire and aircraft.
The museum is free as are guided tours every day except December 25th. Plan to spend the day. www.usmcmuseum.org
The Civil War Experience Pass saves visitors a 50 percent discount to six of the major historic sites as well as 10 percent off purchases in the Manassas Museum store from now until December 2013. This pass and the overall affordability makes Prince William County is an affordable treasure hidden in plain view. Spend a day or a week. You will love it. Planning information is available online. www.visitpwc.com and www.manassasbullrun.com
I wish you smooth travels!
Travel TIP:
"Emancipation 2012: 150 Years Since the New Beginning," an in-depth commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation, will be held on the hallowed ground of Gettysburg, PA from September 21-23. The event will consist of a series of programs and events the highlight of which is the exhibit of a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Lincoln. Note that the Emancipation Proclamation is actually two executive orders, the first issued on September 22, 1862, declaring the freedom of all slaves in Confederate States. The second, issued on January 1, 1863, enumerated the states. Information is available at www.gettysburg.travel
+ Top Story
The area that is now Kingsport's Long Island of the Holston in Tennessee was once a place where the Native Americans held their councils. The 4.5-mile long island was considered a sacred place and both the Great Warrior' Path and the Great Trading Path crossed the land.
Tennessee's tri-colored flag has a blue emblem in the center of a field of red with three white stars. Each star represents one of three geographic regions, the western lowlands, central highlands and the mountainous east. Each region has a distinctive history and culture and each has a unique story to tell.
Significant sites and attractions are not confined to Galveston's downtown Historic District. Unique restaurants, museums, lodgings, outdoor venues and historic locations are spread throughout the island as well as beaches and nature and birding trails.
Galveston, Texas is in the unique position of being able to offer visitors a chance to combine outdoor activities, architecture tours, exceptional dining, entertainment and accommodation options as well as an opportunity to experience a truly unique history.
The 1862 Homestead Act gave settlers the right to claim 160-acres of land at no cost to settlers, regardless of race or sex, who paid a filing fee and lived on the land and improved it for a period of five years. Alternatively they could purchase the land for $1.25 per acre after living on it for 6-months.

Michael, is the brown sugar/maple syrup essential to cured bacon? I bought some bacon what was supposedly maple smoked flavor and it was pretty much maple syrup and uh-uhhh, go fly a kite on that!
I poured the bacon fat into my grease saver and it made all my bacon grease taste like pancake syrup. No thank you…I'll take cracked pepper and some mesquite smoke thank you. I want to try to cure my own bacon but I don't want it to taste like it's from a Vermont maple farm….thanks.
I had a question about the salmon in jars. Can I eat it after 4 days? Will it have gone bad? I'm busy the third day so I don't want to waste it.
Recently saw Roger Mooking of Everyday Exotic on the Cooking Channel using a spoon that looked a lot like yours. Was it? It was in the episode titled Napa Cabbage. Just curious. Wouldn't have noticed but mine had been delivered the day before!
The Badass spoon looks great, but… The OpenSky reports the link, , is broken.
Hi, I can't find your Ruhlman's Twenty book on this website? Did I miss it? Other reason? Thank you. Chris
My Meat Mallet just arrived, and I love the heft. Any suggestions on which side to use in various situations? Smooth or small pyramids on chicken, large pyramids on domestic meat, and the long pyramid on venison?
Thought of your rants when I read this today on the Yahoo front page
Made your recipe for Traditional French Onion Soup tonight – it was a huge hit. Hubby said he lived it better than the "broth" version I used to make. Used a little balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar to round out the flavor.
I enjoyed your post om homemade potato chips very much, I am sure to try it. Thank you
The most recent post that pops up when I link to ruhlmann.com is the roasted cauliflower, published September 16, 2011. Have you changed addresses? If not, what should I do to have access to your posts after September 16? I miss being able to read your posts.
I need Michael Ruhlman's spiced pecan recipe from last year! Help. They are addicting and delicious! Had a nice kick to them also.
The last post that I have is with Ming, from June 2011. What have I done wrong to keep me from getting later posts? And is it possible to get the ones that I have missed? My son-in-law is having the same problem, and we both would like to catch up. Thanks.

Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has confirmed that he has resigned from his role as MP for Mid-Ulster. McGuinness said the move was "in line with [his] party's commitment to end double jobbing."
While he is resigning as MP, McGuinness will continue his role as a Member of the Legislative Assembly.
McGuinness added that he has "no intention of leaving Mid-Ulster."
"I will always be grateful to the people of this area for trusting me to represent them and their interests," he said.
"I will of course continue to represent the Mid-Ulster Constituency in the Assembly. I am honoured to do so both as an MLA and as deputy First Minister in equal partnership with Peter Robinson.
"I can assure them and everyone else that my party, our five Ministers, our MPs, our 29 MLAs, our MEP and our huge number of councillors will continue the journey we have embarked upon.
"As the political landscape in the North continues to change, as it surely will, we remain committed to the goals of Irish republicanism and to serving the interests of all sections of society.
"I firmly believe that we can make further progress. This will require positive leadership from all parties. Sinn Féin remains firmly committed to playing a constructive role in the period ahead."
You just don't get it Seamus I agree with most things you write,there's no cop out.If you wish to retire and accept the status quo which you live under so be it. If your not prepared to protest and try to change the system,don't take it out on me. Take your angst out on towngate,fallsrdnat and the rest of the British apologist.
Curtis. With respect I mentioned Bloody Sunday only as referance to the amount of Military and political ground Martin made from it. The principle of being able to make such demands is what he has yet again sold down the river in order to further feather his own nest. He was the one who declared an apoligy would have been suffice for Bloody Sunday in the first place, with out even consulting with the families, who as a result are now devided in order to conquer. Since he said it the Brits are now digging their heels in on shunning inquiries and issuing the apoligies that Martin spoke of.
Seano. A real cop out is when people like yourself stop calling an injustice for what it really is because of who inflicts it. Because people declare some one is the best of a bad bunch, should never shelter that best from condemnation of hyprocracy when and wherever it occurrs. What has Mc Guinness done for all the Republicans who gave their all and now find themselves with nothing more than criminal status, whilst he and Adams still live off the legacy of Brave Bobby and others who died so their comrades would not be tarnished in such a manner. More so to the point that if you conform with the party and its new found ability to control Nationalists on behalf of the Brits for hard currency, your criminalisation is diluted to a point that hundreds of party activists will take to the streets should the authorities give you the stare. The contrast between people still Interned and those who are in clear breech of so called licences is not going un noticed.
" He could have told them where to stuff it whilst demanding the likes of Ford and others who gave the orders on Bloody Sunday have their medals and pensions pulled." seamus, you realize this would never happen - all of the "soldiers" that committed atrocities against civilians in the O6 were awarded with promotions not just the bloody sunday terrorists (one was retained and promoted AFTER being convicted of murder). His demanding it probably wouldn't even be covered by the terror state controlled bbc.
That sounds like a cop out Seamus you are unhappy with Adams and McGuinness and with some justification they easily sat back into their "free state armchairs" when they sold out. Republicans must find alternative candidates and until the Adams and co. are the best of a bad bunch.
Curtis. He could have told them where to stuff it whilst demanding the likes of Ford and others who gave the orders on Bloody Sunday have their medals and pensions pulled.They will of course be extremely happy at Martins lust for more blood money rather than using it as a comparison to theirs. Pensions don`t go into the party coffers either, not that very much does anyway.
Seano. With respect I think as a matter of principal. No Derry City man should stand in Mid Ulster if the people in his home City won`t elect him. With the exception of course being some one brave enough to enter a Hunger strike in persuit of their principles. The same principles Mc Guinness now calls treason. Anyway as the Dark said to be a good politician you must be a great liar, not one of my stronger points. I will go into my old age like most Republicans He gave orders to, with nothing more than a Criminal record for fighting the brits whilst he and others will have the comfort of a hefty pension for their British Governance over an Irish people. Regardless, no matter what their financial reward Integrity can not be bought back.
I'm sure he'll pay it back as soon as the british terror state begins paying reparations for its worlwide acts of nation mugging.
Now that he has given up a Seat he has never taken - will this disgraceful hoodlum also give back the salary, expences, severance pay and pension he has stolen from the British and Irish Taxpayer. ~~~~~~ Happy New Year everyone, but it would be even happier if the Clown would resign from everything,and take a long hike!
Seamus60 as a matter of principal I think you should stand for Martins seat.
And another £70,000 for Martins bank account.
With changing demographics in the currently constituted Ulster/NI, it's an exciting time to be involved in peace processing and national reconciliation. With 48% professing Protestantism and 40% Britishness, 8% of Protestants may now consider themselves part of the largest minority - ie the 46% generically Irish/Northern Irish (ie 25%/21% resp). And with 45% professing generic Catholicism (ie Anglican or Roman?), 1% of the 46% generically Irish are now of some other or no religion. With a near 10% critical mass of NI populace professing neither Catholicism or Protestantism as we enter the 9th year countdown to the centenary of partition, Irish unity and/or northern secession appears to be a distinct probability, either before or after Scottish independence in 2014. What an exciting to be a subject and/or citizen of the British and/or Irish Isles. And what a powerful influence for either and/or both of us to be a powerful influence on the politics of the mainland. "A partnership of equals..." [indeed!] (EIIR, Dublin Castle, 2011).

Lincoln, the great new historical epic by Steven Spielberg, is many things: a snapshot of our deeply divided nation during the civil war, an examination of our messy, often contemptuous legislative process, an intimate character study of one the most towering figures in American history, and above all else, an exceptional film. It's old-fashioned, classical Hollywood filmmaking of the highest order. This is a film that, much like its subject, delivers on its lofty aspirations.
Rather than present a sprawling chronicle of Abraham Lincoln's entire life, Spielberg and writer Tony Kushner instead have made the wise decision to focus solely on the 16th president's last few months in office. This relatively short period of time, which immediately followed his re-election to a second term, was the one during which he achieved his most enduring legislative achievement: the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which effectively ended the practice of slavery in the United States.
The film deals almost entirely with Lincoln's efforts to pass this monumental piece of legislation, and by narrowing the scope of the film, Spielberg is able to present a deep, detailed portrait of Lincoln during the most pivotal stretch of his presidency. He faced tremendously stiff opposition, not only from Democrats in Congress, but even from those within his own cabinet who would have prefered that he focus his efforts on ending the war. Lincoln, however, knew that this was his only opportunity; if he could secure enough votes from outgoing Democrats - who wouldn't have to face repercussions from constituents, since they had already either lost elections or were stepping down - he could pass the bill. Otherwise, if he waited until the newly elected congressmen were sworn in, his efforts would surely stall.
The audience learns a lot about what kind of man Lincoln was by watching him navigate these treacherous political waters. He clearly felt a deep obligation to abolish slavery, but the genius of his political skill was to forgo moral sermonizing in favor of subtly but firmly convincing key political figures that emancipation was in the best interest of the country. Sometimes this "convincing" involved promising jobs and political favors in exchange for votes, but that was OK - Lincoln was willing to do whatever it took, even if it meant using slightly less-than-ethical tactics.
Throughout the film, the warmth and depth of Lincoln's personality shine brightly. This is only possible, of course, as a result of the truly monumental performance by Daniel Day-Lewis. I can't think of another living actor who could have played this part so convincingly. Not only does he bear a striking resemblance to the character, but he brings a sense of humanity to the screen that very few actors are capable of capturing. This is a surprisingly subtle and low-key performance from Day-Lewis, who is generally known for his bombast. Lincoln is presented here as a folksy, gentle, soft-spoken everyman, with a great sense of humor and a penchant for telling long-winded, rambling stories. His moral convictions are deep, his devotion to his wife and young son are steadfast, and his love of country is unyielding.
The rest of the cast, composed almost entirely of heavyweight actors, is also outstanding. Tommy Lee Jones stands out as ornery Representative Thaddeus Stevens, one of the most passionate abolitionists in Congress. I also really enjoyed James Spader's performance as one of the operatives Lincoln employees to solicit affirmative votes from Democrats. Sally Field is expectedly strong as Lincoln's wife. Fans of acclaimed TV shows Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Boardwalk Empire will notice many familiar faces in key roles, all of which are impressive.
It's also impossible to view this film without drawing parallels to the state of today's union. The fact that, at one point in our nation's history, men found it fit to debate whether or not to grant basic rights to other men is nearly incomprehensible to us today. Anti-abolitionists speak of the "slippery slope" which would eventually facilitate black citizens gaining the right to vote, and regardless of your political affiliation, these themes take on an added resonance in light of the fact that the current president is an African-American. The film underscores just how deeply Lincoln's legacy continues to affect the United States, and reminds us of just how powerful important pieces of legislation can be. This may not be a totally flawless film, but as far as mainstream Hollywood filmmaking goes, it's easily one of the year's best.

Local DAR members attend Continental Congress
On July 7-11, our nation's capital welcomed more than 4,000 members of one of its foremost service organizations with the arrival of the Daughters of the American Revolution for the 119th Continental Congress to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments during the past year in service to God, home and country.
During the week, reports of members' enthusiastic dedication to historic preservation, education and patriotism made it clear that the DAR is playing an important role in cities and towns across the country.
Attending from Yazoo Chapter NSDAR were Wendy Davis Cartwright, Priscilla Allen Harper, Sarastelle Jones Sigrest and Janet Looney Whittington.
Whittington was installed MSSDAR State Regent and Polly Hunter Grimes, Tombigbee Chapter, as NSDAR Vice President General on Sunday, July 11, as Yazoo Chapter members beamed with pride. Whittington is also National Chairman of the DAR Good Citizen Award. Sigrest is NSDAR Correspondent docents Chairman and serves on the Continental Congress President General's Project and Memorial Service Committees. Cartwright is MSSDAR Genealogical Library Chairman and Chairman of the Special Services Committee at Continental Congress.
On July8, MSSDAR members wearing antebellum period dresses welcomed over 100 DAR invited guests to the Rosalie Garden Party. Guests enjoyed an afternoon tea and conversation as the MSSDAR ladies wearing period costumes served as hostesses. The 60-year old Rosalie Garden Party tradition began in the 1950s when the MS Daughters even brought a cotton bale to D.C.

Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary ROUTE 66 |
Luna Lodge |
As traffic grew along Route 66 after World War II, so did the need for roadside businesses, including gas stations, restaurants, and motels. Evolving from the primitive campgrounds of the 1920s and the motor cabins of the 1930s, motels offered greater comforts such as private bathrooms, daily linen service, and eventually television, phones, and swimming pools. At the peak of Route 66 in 1955, 98 motels lined the Mother Road in Albuquerque. Today, fewer than 40 pre-1955 motels remain. Among these is the Luna Lodge. Built in 1949, the motel was one of the easternmost motels along Albuquerque's commercial strip. Luna Lodge consists of two one-story buildings and a third building with a two-story portion. The buildings have flat roofs, white stucco walls, and concrete foundations. Details reflect a modest use of the Southwest Vernacular style including a parapet, flared stucco hoods over the doors, and slightly articulated stucco sills. Classic features of the Pueblo Spanish Revival style are also featured, such as projecting wooden vigas (roof beams), blunted and rounded corners, irregular stuccoing, exposed lintels, and a stepped back roofline. The property is organized in a broken U-shape plan with 28 units surrounding a long interior courtyard that faces Central Avenue with an office and residence at the front of the property. A neon sign with a large arrow at the entrance points down toward the motel.
Luna Lodge faced an increasingly difficult economic time during the 1960s and 1970s. After Interstate 40 bypassed Albuquerque and as national chains with greater amenities competed with the smaller motels, the number of locally-owned motels gradually dwindled. Today, Luna Lodge remains in use as a long-term rental facility, with a few rooms available for overnight lodgers. The property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and described as one of the best examples of a largely unaltered tourist court remaining along New Mexico Route 66. In 2006, the motel was documented for the Historic American Engineering Record by University of New Mexico, Historic Preservation and Regionalism students. The resulting drawings and photographs are archived at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.

Summer Olympics London Calling
From hoops to the pummel horse, Sooners thunder toward the gold
The excitement is building as all eyes will be on London for the July 27 Opening Ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic games. With 32 sports at 34 venues and over 205 participating countries, there's a mountain of world class events to be enjoyed.
There are 10,500 athletes competing in 302 Olympic medal events, all with dreams of obtaining that shiny gold, silver or bronze. The medals will be securely locked away in the vaults of the Tower of London and will remain there until needed for the Victory Ceremonies. Over 4,700 medals have been produced and will be presented in 805 victory ceremonies that will take place in 30 London venues.
Ticket sales for the event are speculated to reach over 8.8 million with the city of London bracing for 800,000 people travelling all at once on the busiest of days. Tickets are £20, which roughly translates to about $40.
For those lucky ones who get to watch the games in person, the Olympic Park, just outside the Stratford International Airport, contains the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Center, Water Polo Arena, Velodrome, BMX Track, Basketball arena, Olympic Villages and a plethora of shopping destinations and eateries, including the world's biggest McDonald's. One can access the entire park by train, bus, underground or trail.
One of the biggest venues, the Olympic Stadium, with a total capacity of 80,000, is built on an island and is part of the St. Thomas Creek and Bow Back rivers systems.
History, Culture and Symbols
The first Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 B.C. Dedicated to the Olympian gods, the initial games included long jump, javelin, boxing, equestrian events, running, shot put, and a pankration, which would be considered by most people today as martial arts.
Besides the rich history of the games, the Olympics are steeped in rich cultural references as well. From the colors to the Olympic flag to the length of the playing field, to the Olympic truce, which was created in the 1990s by the International Olympic Committee, all emblems, creeds and symbols point to creating a fair sporting experience where all are welcome without the cloud of politics, racism or prejudice.
One of the most recognizable symbols of the Olympic Games is the torch relay, which was ignited from the sun's rays at the Temple of Hera in Olympia in a traditional ceremony on May 19. The torch makes its way in a short relay around Greece and is then handed over to the host country. The idea behind the torch relay is to spread the message of peace, unity and friendship.
The torch lights the cauldron at the opening ceremony in the Olympic Stadium, marking the official start of the Games, staying lit until the closing ceremony. The torch will be passed off by over 8,000 people, one of which is a Tulsa local and 2011-12 American Academy of Pediatrics president, Robert Block, MD. Block was chosen because of his leadership in children's health and contributions to health care policy development. Block carried the Olympic torch through the city of Maidenhead July 10.
Thunder Up
Several athletes who have played for the great state of Oklahoma will reach for the gold while shooting hoops. One of the most recognizable is Kevin Durant, who is in his fifth season with the Oklahoma City Thunder and a three-time NBA All-Star.
Durant is joined by OKC Thunder teammates James Harden and Russell Westbrook. They will also be joined by Oklahoma City Thunder trainer Joseph Sharpe.
Basketball games start July 28 and run through the medal ceremonies of August 11-12.
Shock and Awe
The men aren't the only ones making their Olympic mark in the basketball arena. Dominique Allen, former Oral Roberts University player, and Rose Anderson, former University of Central Oklahoma player will be shooting hoops for Great Britain. Liz Cambage of the Tulsa Shock will be suiting up for Australia in the London games. Bo Overton, former OU Women's Assistant Coach, and former OU player will be Assistant Coaching for China.
Sooner Pride
Fresh from his 2011 NCAA vault and floor titles, University of Oklahoma student Jacob Dalton heads to London this summer to compete in Men's artistic gymnastics. Taking home two medals in Beijing, silver in the horizontal bar and a team bronze, Jonathan Horton is another Oklahoma Sooner gymnast. Horton holds 18 All American honors, six individual NCAA titles, and is married to former Sooner gymnast Haley DeProspero.
The men's team will be accompanied by alternate Chris Brooks, Alex Naddour, and Steve Legendre, all former Oklahoma gymnasts. Mark Williams, U.S. personal coach and member of the OU coaching staff will also join the team in London.
Men's and Women's artistic gymnastics will be televised July 28-August 2 and August 5-7. Rhythmic gymnastics run August 9-12.
Other Oklahoma Connections
Gymnastics isn't the only sport where Oklahoma athletes excel. Did you know there are seven events that host current or former athletes from many colleges and training centers in Oklahoma?
There's Tom Peszek on the U.S. rowing team, who trained at Oklahoma City's USRowing Training Center.
Mike Rodgers, former Oklahoma Baptist University athlete, will be representing the U.S. in Track and Field. Prince Mumba, former Oral Roberts athlete, will be competing in track and field for Team Zambia.
Ines Remesaro will be swimming for Uruguay, but trained as an OBU athlete.
Women's track and field events will host five athletes with Oklahoma ties. Brittany Borman and Tia Brooks, representing Team USA are both Oklahoma athletes. Latoya Greaves and Nickiesha Wilson, both former OBU athletes, will be representing Team Jamaica. Laverne Jones-Ferrette, another Oklahoma athlete, will be representing Team U.S. Virgin Islands and former Oklahoma assistant track and field coach Brian Bletrich will be the U.S. personal coach.
In the wrestling arena, Sam Hazewinkel, Jared Frayer, and Coleman Scott will represent Team USA; all three are former Oklahoma wrestlers. Robert Hines, the U.S. team doctor is a former Oklahoma wrestling physician. Michael Lightner, the U.S. personal men's wrestling coach is a former Oklahoma assistant coach and John Smith, U.S. head men's wrestling coach is a former OSU and Del City wrestler.
Even Women's Wrestling has an Oklahoma connection: Keith Wilson, former Oklahoma wrestler, is the U.S. assistant coach in the event.
Team USA
In the last Olympic games in Beijing, the U.S. claimed 110 medals, more than any other nation. A great record holder in the USA arsenal of athletes is Michael Phelps, having secured 14 gold medals in his career thus far in swimming events such the 200-meter freestyle, 200-meter butterfly, and 100-meter individual relay. Teammate Ryan Lochte is slated to give Phelps a good fight in the journey to victory, having secured four medals in Tokyo. Dive into the swimming televised games July 28-August 4 and the marathon swimming competitions on August 9-10.
Several other athletes made a big splash into Olympic history. Earning her place by a tenth of a point in women's gymnastics is 16 year old Gabby Douglas. Nicknamed the 'Flying Squirrel,' she brought home gold in Tokyo on the 2011 World Team. Catch her as the women's gymnastics begins July 29.
London isn't exactly known for its balmy weather, but that won't stop Women's Beach Volleyball duo Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May Treanor as they reach for their third gold medal. Don't miss out on April Ross and Jen Kessy the other dynamic beach volleyball duo as they make their debut in the event. Women's beach volleyball runs July 28 through August 9.
Celebrity stardom won't hold back women's football goalkeeper Hope Solo. This 30-year-old phenomenon joins "Baby Horse" Alex Morgan, who made her debut in 2011.
Will Morgan posing in the Sports Illustrated body paint "swimsuit" edition help their team clinch the victory? Guess we'll have to wait until the Team USA's opener vs. France in women's soccer, which can be viewed on the NBC Sports Network on Wednesday, July 25, along with all other U.S. team sport coverage, including basketball and volleyball.

OMAHA, Neb. -- Thirty games couldn't quite settle regular-season supremacy in the Pacific-12 Conference baseball standings.
What better stage to settle things than the biggest one of all? UCLA (48-14) and Arizona (43-17) tangle today at 6p.m. in the second round of the College World Series after both won their openers Friday.
Both went 20-10 in the Pac-12 this season.
And for an obvious added twist, the Bruins and Wildcats shared a plane on the way to the center of the country, providing a little more familiarity.
"The hardest part is on the flight, my wife - she's a sorority girl from UCLA - and halfway through the flight she was going to do the eight count," quipped Arizona coach Andy Lopez, himself a UCLA graduate and former player who went to San Pedro High and coached at Mira Costa High, CSDH and Pepperdine.
Yep, the common threads are plenty between the teams but the ways they got to today's matchup are vastly different.
The Bruins blazed past underdog and crowd favorite Stony Brook 9-1, jumping out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning and barely breathing hard on their way to a 10th consecutive win, their sixth in a row in the NCAA Tournament.
Arizona had to endure 12 innings to topple Florida State 4-3 in a game that set up as a slugfest between the two highest-scoring teams in the NCAA Tournament but became a pitchers' duel instead.
For much of the week leading into the CWS, No. 2 national seed UCLA was almost an afterthought as the media focused on Stony Brook, a small school from Long Island, N.Y., that got to Omaha as a No. 4 seed after stunning LSU in the Super Regional.
All the Bruins have done heading into tonight is win 20 of their last 22 games with a 51-11 scoring margin in six NCAA outings.
If the lack of hoopla has bothered UCLA, it sure didn't show against the Seawolves.
"Two years ago we were in the same situation with TCU," Bruins center fielder Beau Amaral said. "The whole crowd favored them over us. Coming into (Friday), we had to take the crowd out of the game and not worry about it."
The Bruins did that with the five-run first-inning outburst, fueled by Jeff Gelalich's bases-loaded single for two runs, his first hit with the bases loaded this season.
Kevin Williams added a two-run single a few innings later and that was plenty of cushion for Adam Plutko, who nailed down his 12th win by limiting Stony Brook to five hits and a run in seven innings.
"They're focused," UCLA coach John Savage said of his players. "Regardless of who we play, this group has been ready to play when the first pitch is thrown."
The Bruins took the season series from Arizona, bouncing back from a 4-3 loss in the opener with 15-3 and 6-2 decisions - the second game was UCLA's most lopsided Pac-12 win this year and the Wildcats' worst league loss.
That was part of a season-long three-game losing streak for Arizona, which has gone 20-5 since then and 6-0 in the NCAAs.
So something has to give when two of the country's hottest teams - as well as the Pac-12's two biggest heavyweights this season - collide with a chance to take a big step toward the best-of-3 national championship series.
The pitching matchup is Arizona right-hander Konner Wade (9-3, 4.49 ERA) against UCLA's Nick Vander Tuig (10-3, 4.35).

Start The Day Right
Friday Morning
I try to start every day with a few minutes of scripture reading and quiet time. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, my day goes so much better. I want to encourage you to find at least 10 minutes to quiet your mind and commune with God before you get on your daily hamster wheel. :)
When I'm having a hard time focusing for one reason or another I like to read in Psalms. I don't recommend The Message for serious Bible study, but I love to just sit down with it to read. Here is Psalm 32 from the Message to encourage you:
Psalm 32
A David Psalm
1 Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be— you get a fresh start,
your slate's wiped clean.
2 Count yourself lucky—
God holds nothing against you
and you're holding nothing back from him.
3 When I kept it all inside,
my bones turned to powder,
my words became daylong groans.
4 The pressure never let up;
all the juices of my life dried up.
5 Then I let it all out;
I said, "I'll make a clean breast of my failures to God."
Suddenly the pressure was gone—
my guilt dissolved,
my sin disappeared.
6 These things add up. Every one of us needs to pray;
when all hell breaks loose and the dam bursts
we'll be on high ground, untouched.
7 God's my island hideaway,
keeps danger far from the shore,
throws garlands of hosannas around my neck.
8 Let me give you some good advice;
I'm looking you in the eye
and giving it to you straight:
9 "Don't be ornery like a horse or mule
that needs bit and bridle
to stay on track."
10 God-defiers are always in trouble;
God-affirmers find themselves loved
every time they turn around.
11 Celebrate God.
Sing together—everyone!
All you honest hearts, raise the roof!

Wonderful post! I couldn't agree more with the importance of having that daily time to connect with God through prayer, his Word and just being quiet before Him.
We have a pastor at our church that stresses the importance of this daily time with the Lord: It's like taking a shower. Miss one day, no one really knows except you. But miss two or three days and others surely know, too! - August 19, 2009 at 8:48 AM

Thicker pads provide more insulation in cold weather and more cushioning comfort in warm weather.
Mattresses fine-tuned to maximize women's sleeping comfort.

So it's actually subtleties to trials going on but at the same time in the same courtroom so there's an awful lot of people are -- and and one jury.
Her what to tell the jury energy they hear most -- if that's the reason happens that most of the evidence isn't common you don't wanna bring your witnesses in more than once and you can imagine and and bigger cases of murder cases people certainly don't wanna be coming in more than once.
But there's some evidence usually a defendant's statement that's not admissible because you can't -- what one person says against another it's a pretty fundamental.
Right and the -- of the law works and that's why rather than do the whole thing you know two or three times depending on what the case -- how many people -- charge you put them in the room together most of the -- is common it's like one trial.

the link is too slow or doesn't work, so going on just what's presented here I simply must presume the guy is the son of a politician or other prominent person. Especially with the not-naming.
- Jul 21, 2009, 12:10:00 AM
or maybe he himself is someone prominent. Or is a cop. If either of those is the scenario, especially if the former, his name will probably eventually be leaked anyway.
- Jul 21, 2009, 12:12:00 AM
A class d felony? it must be someone prominent, powerful, and/or wealthy that she falsely accused of rape.
- Jul 21, 2009, 3:05:00 AM
This should be removed scence she was droped of all charges after the prosecuter saw she was droged by this man and couldn't do anything to stop him. But he is free to do it again.
- May 14, 2012, 10:43:00 PM
Why is this stell on here. She did not falsely accuse this guy. They proved she was telling the truth. It showed on his cell that she was druged and couldn"t do anything to stop him. She stell dosen't remember anything he did to her. She has been through enough. So please get this off the enernet. I am her mother.

OpenSolaris almost ready for IBM System z
Saturday, March 1st, 2008In the end of last year Sun was in the end of a one and a half year long project together with IBM. The challenge was to get OpenSolaris certified for IBM System z hardware. This solution will be interesting for customers that seek the enterprise environment from Solaris and the stability from IBM's mainframe computers.
There are a lot of old Sun machines out there in the server parks that need to be switched out in the near future. According to Boyle CTO at the consulting company Sine Nomine Associate in Ashburn many companies are looking into IBM's mainframe computers, but they don't want to retrain all of their IT personnel to administrate an all new environment. Boyle also says he knows about 30-40 companies that are awaiting this solution to be finished and certified.
For IBM this is a great opportunity to save and rebuild the market for mainframe computers. Sun has been going strong on marketing Solaris on other platforms than their own lately. Sun's last business settlement in favor of Solaris on other platforms was with Dell that now provides Dell PowerEdge servers with Solaris.
