A lot of birthday cake for Tucson
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009August 20, 2009 marks Tucson's 234th birthday. Someone asked me how that could be being as Arizona only became a state in 1912.
Here's the history: On August 20, 1775 Captain Hugo O'Conor, an Irishman in the Spanish army selected the site for the Presidio San Agustin del Tucson in what is now downtown Tucson. This was the beginning of the historic presidio here and thus the beginning of the city of Tucson. Incidentally I hear there's a statue of O'Conor at the Manning House downtown.
So now in celebration of that momentous day the Tucson community is celebrating all month. Log onto www.tucsonsbirthday.org for a calendar of ongoing events, leading up to the birthday on August 20, where several sites will be giving out FREE cake and other goodies.
Probably the most popular event (which I have attended in the past) is the Birthday Flag Ceremony– information copied from the website below:
Time: 8:00a.m.- 10:00a.m.
Admission: Free
Contact Name: Kathleen Nabours
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Location: Presidio San Agustin de Tucson Courtyard
Address: SW Corner of Church Ave. and Washington St. Tucson, AZ 85701
Phone: 577-6261
"The five flags that have flown over Tucson – American, Spanish, Mexican, Confederate, and the State of Arizona – will be presented in a ceremony to celebrate Tucson's 234th birthday. The Tohono O'odham Nation and Pascua Yaqui Tribe flags will also be presented, as will a replica of the 28-star American flag that was brought by the Mormon Battalion and flown over Tucson on December 16, 1846.
The ceremony will include an invocation, signing of a proclamation by distinguished guests, the honor guard presentation, and music and dance. The flags will then be retired to close the ceremony.
Those attending the ceremony are encouraged to dress in period costumes and sample a piece of the Tucson birthday cake.
The annual flag raising celebrating Tucson's birthday was begun by Tucson-Pima County Historical Commission in 1975. The Presidio San Agustín del Tucson location is the interpretive center on the site of Tucson's original adobe-walled presidio."
But there will be also be free cake on August 20 at the Haunted (antique) Mall on 22nd Street and the Hotel Congress, as well as free milkshakes at Chick-Fil-A restaurant at El Con, and free cookies at the Doubletree Hotel. All details are on the website including a free day at the Reid Park Zoo!
Wow, what a celebration. Happy upcoming 234th Birthday, Tucson.

These Plano-Concave lenses are fabricated from RoHS-compliant N-BK7 glass. N-BK7 is probably the most common optical glass used for high quality optical components. It is typically chosen whenever the additional benefits of UV fused silica (i.e., good transmission further into the UV and a lower coefficient of thermal expansion) are not necessary. However, for particularly harsh environments where the optic will be exposed to alkalis and acids, consider our N-SF11 plano-concave lenses.
Like all plano-concave lenses, these lenses have negative focal lengths and can be used to diverge collimated beams. In this case, the curved surface of the lens should face the source to minimize spherical aberration. In addition, they can be employed to offset the effects of spherical aberration caused by other lenses in an optical system.
N-BK7 lens kits are also available. Please click here for information.
Custom Coatings are also available. Please contact our technical support staff for a quote.
Below is the transmission curve for N-BK7, a RoHS-compliant form of BK7. Total Transmission is shown for a 10 mm thick, uncoated sample and includes surface reflections.

Sunday Scanning Project.
Sunday, March 1, 2009 at 10:00PM
I like how the scanner makes the photos look grainy like they were taken 50 years ago. The truth is that the photos were in a shopping bag full of pics and most of them where covered with dust. The next couple of weeks I'm going to try to add as many of our old boats to the site. This photo has to be from 1993 (?), I'm the kid in the gray sweatshirt on the right. Looking through the pics and scanning them in took long enough. The effort in this post was in getting the photos onto the computer. Post over. Do you feel cheated? Enjoy the pics if you have any questions or comments send them along.

No complaints about the room - you get what you pay for - clean, spacious, nothing fancy. However, I did not find the front desk staff particularly helpful.

"Beach only asset"
This hotel is right on the beach, but that's it's only real redeeming feature. Even it's beach access is somewhat limited. The breakfast was extremely disappointing, with odd offerings like vegetable curry one day. The fruit was always fresh, and tasty. But the one meal we ate from the restaurant was bad.

"Club Mirage"
Have just returned from Club Mirage and it was very lovely. Food, pool, staff and comfort factor were wonderful. I was under the impression it was a 4 star hotel, but I would rate it at a 3 star , but that said, it was still fabulous. Very clean and quiet which is what I was after. The 3 lovely ladies who do massages on the beach ( just to the left […] on the beach side) are amazing, had a massage everyday. I had never stayed at Nusa Dua before but I will never stay anyway else again. That was my 10th trip to Bali and yes I would probably stay at Club Mirage again. My only advise would be , they should do drink service around the pool. I had room service dinner a couple of nights and that was great, very fast service.

"Cant go wrong for the price"
This is our 2nd stay at this hotel. And we will be going back again. We had only a week this time with our 4 year old. We arrived at 0900 on our first day as we had a midnight departure on our last day. They allowed us into our room immediately, and invited us for breakfast considering we would lose our last morning. The rooms were clean and tidy, serviced […] daily with clean sheets and water. The airconditioning was excellent, room servcie timely, all the staff were very friendly. The pool temp was perfect, not to hot or cold. We did the water sports on the doorstep, parasailing and banana boats. We even di the free included ocean kayaking. Really for the price, we can not fault the hotel. We used the Grand Mirage for our daycare needs, as this was also included in the price. We didnt do the all inclusive package, but many there were getting their moneys worth. Cant wait for our next trip.

"Very nice stay in Club Bali Mirage"
We stayed in Club Bali Mirage for seven days in two rooms with my parents and my daughter. The rooms were clean and well equipped. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was a highlight for the start of the day. If you can't find something you would like, just ask and they will try to have it the next day (eg. Milo or similar). The […] theme based dinners are lovely and the buffets huge. The a-la-carte menu is a bit small but you still have the choice. Just opposite the hotel is a little shop where you can buy everything to stock up the fridge in the room. Like others said, it can be a bit loud in the rooms at night (noise coming from the corridors). Internet is not included and expensive. You have the possibility to use provided computers for free but it is annoyingly slow and I couldn't get access to my email provider at all. The surroundings of the hotels are nice, clean and well cared for. The pool is very big and clean but maybe wear your old bathers as they might get discoloured by the chlorine. Also be careful with blonde dyed hair (lucky we didn't have this problem) - they might turn green. The beach wasn't very clean and we couldn't swim but it was still a beautiful lookout. Overall we can highly recommend this hotel, especially also with younger kids. It might be worth to check the 'all inclusive' option. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia
"You can find better!"
The first room we were put in smelled mouldy, had an incredibly noisy AC and had stained sheets. We were kindly given the opportunity to switch rooms but the overall upkeep of the rooms and hotel was fairly disappointing. Our hotel stay included breakfast but by day 3 we were sick of the same tired breakfast buffet, we pitied the guests who had signed […] up for all-inclusive! The beach at the hotel was dirty, there was lots of trash and strong gasoline fumes from the dozens of parasailing boats in the ocean. It was difficult to relax between the boat sounds and the man on the loud speaker directing the boat drivers. The pool was decent. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia

"Bali Mirage - Nusa Dua"
Mediocre is the only way I can describe my overall stay at this resort. The hotel itself is in need of some quality upgrades and modern appliances. The mattresses are old and in need of replacement, the sliding cupboard doors have been off their hinges for god knows how long, the power points work only occasionally, and the TV is a dinosaur. The staff […] at Bali Mirage are very friendly and helpful and try their utmost to present the hotel as best they can, but it sadly lacks the charisma of the Grand Mirage next door. The buffet lunch/dinner are a joke and the food leaves a lot to be desired, so if you are considering the "all inclusive" add-on expense then think again as the food is atrocious, especially the pre-cooked food. Its one saving grace is the breakfast buffet which is only just above average but at least the chef is cooking fresh eggs off the skillet. Sadly though, the bacon is not really bacon. Its that pretend bacon slice which adds to the disappointment. Neither of the 2 bars on the premises are stocked with a full range and there is little in the way of entertainment. The location of the resort is an asset being right on the beach. The pool is large, clean and refreshing, however there are no floatation devices to relax on. At the front of the hotel you are constantly being bombarded and harrassed by the locals in their never ending plight to obtain your hard earned dollars. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia
"Find another hotel"
Room and hallway had an odd odor, rather chemical. Difficult at first but did get used to it. Looks like it may have been a very nice hotel at one time. But is suffering from lack of tourist ? Ad talks about flat screen tv's in room. I was in Bali for 3 weeks this was first hotel that even had a tv. However no where near the 50 channels they boast, […] not even 20 channels! Only English Channel was a 24 hr French news station. Not very good for a hotel catering to westerner's. was not impressed with property or the Nusa Dua area in general. Pemuteran was a much nicer area and beach. Next trip I will avoid the south end. Ubud, Munduk and Pemuteran I found enjoyable, and locals also recommended Amed on the east coast but I couldn't make it this trip. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia

I got this game to play with my grandchildren. They had the original version and we wanted one that their 4 year old brother could play with us. I was a little nervous that he would be able to really understand the game but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a chance. It was a great choice. Not only did he understand the game he won the first time we played. The kids all loved it and I'm now thinking of buying it for my nephews family when I go see them soon. So I would say it's a winner and great for the whole family. If the children in your life love Disney they will be able to play this game even if they are non readers.

When I bought this version of the game, my son was really excited because he not only loves the Original game but Disney characters too. However, this games was a huge disappointment. It's not fun or funny like the original game...it's boring!! Definitely stick with the Original version.

Comments about Mattel 1001134 Apples to Apples - Disney Edition:
We love to play games when our family visits so I picked up the Disney version because our household are huge Disney fans. It was easy to learn, even for my 8 year old and provided us with days of fun. I highly recommend to anyone that enjoys board games with the kids.

The Kids love it!
By Casey
from Dothan, AL
The kids love this game. It is easy enough for them to understand. We also have regular Apples to Apples, and the kids aren't old enough for that one, so when I found this one, it was perfect. Now the kids don't have to feel like they're missing out on anything.
So much fun!

My family loves a good game night, but all the games we play are harder for kids. So I thought this would be the perfect solution. At first, the grow ups were apprehensive bc it was a Disney game. They thought it would be a lame version of Apples to Apples. But, it was a hit! It is just a much fun as the original, if not more so bc kids can now join in on the fun! We laughed so much during this game! It is definitely a hit with our family.

I played this card game with a group of good friends the other day & it was so much fun. Its was great to put all the different Disney related characters in this game & see how they would mach with the green card. I didn't care much for the High School Musical & other Live-Action Disney Channel shows in this game. I would love to see an updated version that had Marvel, Star Wars, & Muppet characters in it.

I was looking for a fun family night game that could keep the attention of the younger kids (2 with help - 10) and still be fun for the older kids (11-adult). It's Disney so everyone knows something.

Candace Cameron Bure Opens Up About Her Struggles With Bulimia
Hallie Stephens at omg!21 hrs agoCandace Cameron Bure won America's heart as a child star on the hit family sitcom "Full House." And while she managed to avoid the pitfalls of early fame, she did suffer from bulimia well after her days on the show had ended.
"Omg! Insider" co-anchor Thea Andrews sat down with the 37-year-old to talk about her new book, "Balancing It All," but Candace also spoke candidly about her eating disorder, which she says didn't begin until after she married her husband, Valeri Bure, and moved to Montreal for his career as a professional hockey player. At the time, she admitted she was struggling to find balance as an actress and a new wife and turned to food for comfort. She told Thea, "Clearly it wasn't a healthy way to deal with things. That's really when my faith was kicked up a notch, and I sought comfort in my relationship with God and not with food."
Jennifer Aniston Reveals She Was a 'Late Bloomer'
Hallie Stephens at omg!2 days agoIn an interview with Parade magazine, Jennifer Aniston revealed that her 30s were a rather awkward time, and it wasn't until recently that she came into her own. But now, Jen is feeling better than ever, and when asked about her upcoming 45th birthday, she told the mag, "There's nothing to worry about — although I don't think I had a care in the world at 25, either. That all started in my 30s, my awkward phase. I'm a little bit of a late bloomer! But it doesn't matter to me because it just gets better. They do say youth is wasted on the young, but I feel just as youthful now — if not more — than I did when I was 25. I'm more in my body. I'm more in my mind. Life is full. Life is wonderful. We're very very fortunate."
The One Person Garth Brooks Won't Go on Tour Without
Hallie Stephens at omg!3 days agoGarth Brooks famously hung up his cowboy hat and retired from music back in 2000 so that he could spend more time with his family. He vowed not to return full-time, at least until all three of his daughters graduated from high school. Well it looks as if that time has come! His youngest daughter is graduating in the spring, and Garth is hitting the road to perform with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, on a world tour in 2014 — proving, yet again, that it's all about family.
"Omg! Insider" sat down with the country star on Monday after the big announcement, and he explained why the timing is perfect. "That road guilt of just going, 'Man, I should be there. I shouldn't be missing this.' That's all gone away. Now I'm getting to travel with my wife who's also my best friend."
And Garth wouldn't have it any other way, saying, "The 2014 world tour, where it all begins, we'll go together. I would never think about going separate."
Kirstie Alley on John Travolta: 'It Took Me Years to Not Look at John as a Romantic Interest'
Hallie Stephens at omg!6 days agoKirstie Alley opened up about her relationship with John Travolta during an interview with Howard Stern on Wednesday, and she admitted to falling for John in 1989 while filming "Look Who's Talking." But at the time, she was still married to Parker Stevenson. And while the two resisted acting on their feelings, the 62-year-old revealed that the attraction was mutual. When Howard asked the former "Cheers" star if she would have acted on her crush had she not been married, she replied, "We both would have."
Hayden Panetierre and Other Stars Are Moving to Nashville
Hallie Stephens at omg!7 days agoThe stars are packing up and moving to Nashville! Hayden Panettiere may have been born in New York but now she's a bonafide country girl! The 24-year-old has filmed two seasons of her hit ABC show, "Nashville," in Tennessee, but was reluctant to set up residency there — until now. The starlet revealed to People magazine that she and her fiancé, boxer Wladimir Klitschko, are ready to buy a home in Nashville, and her hesitation has passed. Hayden told the mag, "After a year and a half of living here, I felt that I had enough personal investment here, that I want to have a grounding here, even if something happens to the show. Knock on wood it won't! But I have amazing friends here and this just feels good as a home base."
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Reveal How They Blew Through $10 Million
Hallie Stephens at omg!8 days agoHeidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were the couple that everyone loved to hate on MTV's "The Hills." But today, the duo is opening up about how they lost their fortune in only a few short years. In an interview with In Touch magazine, Spencer admitted, "We were immature," He added, "Every time we'd go out to eat, we'd order $4,000 bottles of wine. Heidi was going to the mall and dropping $20,000 to $30,000 a day. We thought we were Jay Z and Beyoncé."
Not only were they spending big bucks at restaurants and stores, but in 2010 Heidi spent an estimated $30,000 on her plastic surgery transformation. And in 2011, the blonde confirmed that she and Spencer were forced to shack up with his parents and that they were considering filing for bankruptcy.
The two are near broke today, and they are heading back to TV with an E! special, "After Shock: Heidi & Spencer," that will dive into their adjustment to a post "Hills" life.

Oscar Winner Jennifer Hudson Admits She Didn't Know What the Oscars Were
Hallie Stephens at omg!9 days agoWhen Jennifer Hudson brought home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007 for her role as Effie White in "Dreamgirls," it was a big deal! Not only was she one of only a few actors to win an Oscar for a debut role, but she was — and is still — the only "American Idol" contestant to win the prestigious award. But unlike her peers who had long dreamed of taking home Oscar gold, Jennifer was blissfully unaware of the significance of her big win.
The 32-year-old Chicago native opened up to Net-a-Porter's The Edit magazine about the big moment, saying, "I didn't know what the Oscars was. Where we come from, we don't know anything about that world. If you see it on TV, it's like, 'Oh, people in fancy suits and ties.'"
Now the former Disney Cruise Line employee has an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Grammy and more than a million album sales on her impressive resume, but she still can't believe her good fortune.

North West's Cutest Moments
Hallie Stephens at omg!15 days agoKim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter, North, so only six months old, and already she's just the cutest little thing!
The famous couple welcomed their little girl back in June, and while the duo has been relatively shy about showing her off to the world, from the rare photos we have seen, she's precious.
Kanye gave fans the first glimpse of their bundle of joy in late August on his soon-to-be mother-in-law's talk show, "Kris." The pic was certainly cuteness overload, and it certainly left fans wanting more!
Thankfully, that's just what we got! Kim posted a sweet snapshot of Nori on Instagram in October after returning from fashion week, with her tiny tot wrapped in a swaddle on a furry white rug. "I missed waking up with my little angel," she captioned the image.
Kermit the Frog on Lady Gaga: 'We Won't Even Mind if She Mistakes Some of the Muppets for Pieces of Her Wardrobe — Again'

Mama Monster posted a video to her Instagram on Tuesday that shows her singing her hit song "Applause" as she dances around with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and the whole Muppet crew. The post is a sneak peek at the musical special, "Lady Gaga and the Muppets' Holiday Spectacular," which will air on Thanksgiving Day on ABC.
In a statement earlier this month, everyone's favorite green frog shared his excitement for the project, saying, "We have a long history with Ms. Gaga, so we jumped at the chance to do a holiday special with her.

Celebrities' Over-the-Top Holiday Cards
Hallie Stephens at omg!16 days agoStars can be known to do some outlandish activities in their daily lives, but it seems an over-the-top lifestyle can translate into their holiday cards.
The Kardashian klan is known not only for being a large family and the reality series "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" but also for lavish Christmas cards. The many members of the Jenner-Kardashian crew get together for their annual family portrait, all dressed to the nines in themed designer duds. From all-denim ensembles to the classic black-and-white look, this card is not only a time for the family to explore its creativity, but also to show how big the family is getting.
The queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, and her hubby, Nick Cannon, made sure their holiday was one to remember back in 2009. The couple put themselves on display as a sexy Mr. and Mrs. Claus, surrounded by their four pups, Cha Cha, JJ, Dolomite, and Jack.

Google ad: Nexus S is better than your car's nav
Stating bluntly what many automotive manufacturers are starting to realize, Google released an ad that says the future of navigation and infotainment is probably on your phone.
The ad depicts a boy reiterating directions from Google's new Nexus S smartphone, with the subliminal message being that the new phone's navigation application is so easy a child can use it. Actually, most kids are probably better than adults at using any computer, phone, or in-dash navigation system, but that's beside the point. … Read more

What were the most overrated units of the war? Use whatever definition of overrated you please. My votes: 1. Iron Brigade 2. Irish Brigade 3. Stonewall Brigade Lots of publicity but nothing special about their combat records. I don't mean to denigrate them, they were unbelievably brave, but there were plenty of other units just as deserving of attention and some probably with better combat records. |

Can't say that I understand your post or your logic at all. If you could add why you made these determinations and then compare other "less-known" units (that you refer to) then I think we could discuss it. To me it's a blanket statement with nothing to back it up. Therefore, it's hard to comment on. That's like me saying the most overrated units of the war were the ones that wore blue uniforms. |

The performance by the Stonewall Brigade and the Iron Brigade at Second Manassas warrants all the praise that they get. To that I'd add the Iron Brigade's action at Gettysburg on the first day was about as heroic as you'll find of any unit. After Gettysburg, the Iron Brigade basically ceased to exist due to the losses they suffered. Overrated? Not in my book!! Doug Last edited on Wed May 3rd, 2006 07:25 pm by Hamy3 |

Let me clarify a bit, although everyone will have their definition of "overrated". Some units are fabled ones with comparatively extensive coverage. Most units are nearly forgotten. Do the combat records of the famous units match their coverage and supposed fighting prowess? There's no real way to measure that, it's all subjective. So perhaps the question is better phrased as one of proportionality of fame and coverage. Let's look at the Stonewall brigade. A fine, solid unit. But did it do anything special? Not really, expect it happened to be associated with Thomas Jackson. One can mention the Stonewall brigade at Brawner Farm, but who remembers the actions of Lawton's or Trimble's brigades at the same fight? Not many, although Lawton's and Trimble's men fought just as hard, and in fact, the 21st GA lost the heaviest proportion of any Confederate regiment in the 2nd Manassas campaign. The same comparison could be made of the Black Hat Brigade. Nobody remembers say, the stand of Stone's brigade at Gettysburg. But they suffered similiar loss rates. See what I mean? Regarding the Iron and Irish brigades, people tend to convienently forget the serious decline in the fighting abilities of those two brigades in 1864. Both are usually dismissed with a toss away comment something along the lines of "well, they were pretty much killed off at Gettysburg." Not really. They were never the same after Gettysburg, it is true, but they were certainly there in at least some form before the individual regiments finally being shuffled off and consolidated. Not many people care to remember the actions of the 63rd, 69th, and 88th NY at 2nd Deep Bottom, for example. Not exactly the stuff the Irish brigade legend is made of. I guess my ultimate point is that there are many, many units that should be studied (although I suppose me selecting a few overrated units is just as arbitrary and unfair as only mentioning those few famous units.) There were plenty of units that records matched the famous units. Those famous units just weren't really that...special. Last edited on Wed May 3rd, 2006 09:20 pm by Richard Taylor |

Richard, thank you for clarifying your earlier post. Your points are well taken, but I don't think there is a logical reply or really a valid opinion either way. You "could" take a baseball writer's approach (BTW I am a baseball writer) and use a comparative study of statistics to decipher a "win vs. loss ratio" and "victory vs. defeat based upon opposing troop numbers and resulting causalities", and then compare each units "stats", but (to me) that would be demeaning to their memory and their sacrifice. I think that "ratings" as you refer to them (or historical opinions) are usually biased and based ultimately on geographical locations. Down here in VA, The Stonewall Brigade "walks on water" so to speak - but I am sure that other places up North favor the Irish or Iron Brigades etc. Therefore "overrated" is a very tricky term. "Overrated" by whom? Personally, when I think about the men who fought in the Civil War (blue or gray) I am attracted to their courage and conviction. The idea of lining up on an open field and marching (in an organized fashion) towards a mile-wide wall of continuous musket fire and multiple batteries of cannon is absolutely insane. The very notion of that task goes far beyond any type of logical behavior or self-preservation. YET they did it. And that my friend is the definition of guts. That is what makes all soldiers from the War Between the States worthy of our attention, study and preservation. So I say, overrate them all - because they all deserve it. |

Some good points. "Overrated" is probably not a good word, but rather convienent one. The emphasis probably should be that too many units are ignored, not that a few are overrated. That would be more fair. Certainly all of this talk is very subjective and certainly regionally based. But the main point remains. A few units receive a lot of coverage. Do they really deserve it more than most units? I don't think so. But before the imbalance in coverage can be rectified, it must be realized that the ultra famous units didn't really do anything unusual. Most units of the war put in just as many good performances in equally trying circumstances. Let's give them some attention. |

So I guess the real topic is who are the unsung underrated units? Which regiments and brigades gave their all and never made the headlines? I would submit the brigade of Brigadier General John Creed Moore of Dabney Maury's Division. The 42nd Alabama, 15th Arkansas, 23rd Arkansas, 35th Mississippi and the 2nd Texas. This unit began the Battle of Corinth with 1,892 men. Within 48 hours the brigade simply ceased to exist. On the 3rd of October this brigade broke through a gap in the Union entrenchments on Oliver Hill and flanked Brig. Gen. John McArthur's brigades out of their position. He attacked McArthur's second position and drove back a brutal counter attack. They pushed on to Battery F and forced Marcellus Crocker's Iowa brigade from the field. The next morning Moore's men led the doomed attack on Battery Robinett, charging that bastion three times while the 15th and 23rd Arkansas swung around Stanley's line and entered the city all the way to the railroad crossing. Few made it back out. The next day at Davis Bridge the remnants of the brigade, 350 men, joined the 1st Texas Legion to halt the advance of a fresh Union division arriving from Tennessee. Less than 100 made it safely back across the bridge. I would put this brigade alongside any of the more famous eastern units. They earned it. But who has ever heard of them? |

That being said, couldn't we say that Stonewall Jackson is overrated? That's not to say he wasn't great, but in some circles, it seems he's reached God-like status. What!!!!! Actually here in the South, most of our Generals are held in VERY high regards. Lee, Stuart, Jackson are all revered in the manner you mention. Rightfully so (in my opinion). BUT I can see your point - as someone not living here. To many tourists, our area may seem peculiar with all of the monuments and tributes to them. To the locals, it's perfectly natural.

I agree that "overrated" was a poor word choice on my part. I still believe that some units get more coverage than they really should, so that might be a better way to phrase "overrated". Someone mentioned Jackson being god-like, which is very true. I think the same applies to some units like the Stonewall or Iron brigades. They are almost "god like". But I guess there isn't really any harm in that as long as the "underrated" get their due as well. I agree 100% with the choice of J.C. Moore's brigade, but I am biased. My great-great-great grandfather fought and died in the 15th Arkansas, so obviously I have an affinity for that brigade. Bowen's division (which the 15th was in during the Vicksburg campaign) really deserves more coverage. Green's and Cockrell's brigades were excellent fighters and put in some remarkable performances. Alas, the relative obscurity of anything not related to the ANV/AOP prevents them from being well known, although I always feel some pride that Ed Bearss talks about Bowen's division in such glowing terms. |

I would label the 20th Maine as too extensively covered at the expense of others. (that's better than "overrated", isn't it?) The 20th ME was a fine regiment but well...it wasn't really special. Most regiments weren't all that special. I guess that's my point. It's not fair that the 20th ME is govered in glory while say, the 9th ME is totally forgetten. You can't really take down the 20th ME image and maybe it wouldn't be fair to do so. So again, the best thing is to bring up the image of the other outfits. |

I seems to me that the units that have received the most coverage over the years are the ones that have had the most extensive writting done about them and their deeds. I submit they have the best publicists, who knowingly or not have raised their status to what one poster as called "God-like". It's not that other units were any less heroic or their deeds lacking in any way, simply they've gotten less press over the years. Maybe we should be asking which units deserve more press than they've gotten. Doug |

Not sure of overrated or underrated, but my 2 cents is that to say that any given 2000-man brigade is no better or worser than any other 2000-man brigade of Virginians, or Ohioans or Pennsylvanian or Georgians. All had their heroes and their sad sacks, strengths and weaknesses. The biggest difference is the leaders. Looking at the resume of a very good leader, one sees a good brigade somewhere in their command history. Many brigade excell under one commander and later waver under another, less able, commander. I cannot think of any particular brigade that did not show tremendous grit. After a couple weeks of campaigning all had seen enough blood, mud, heat, lousy food, dumb orders, destruction, cold and dust to be the best. There is not a soldier, doughboy, dogface or grunt that cannot claim to be in the best brigade... HankC Last edited on Mon May 8th, 2006 05:47 pm by HankC |

That jives exactly with my ultimate point: all units deserve to be remembered and the super-famous few really didn't do anything that others didn't. I don't think anyone would disagree with that. But so far that sentiment hasn't really been put into practice. We need more regimental or brigade histories. And even when they're written, they are often sloppily edited since no large publisher would publish obscure topics like that. |

Marvelous! But if mixed in a salad, I think I´ll pass.
what don´t you know about terrariums, the plants only need sunlight to use photosynthesis to make sugars and in a sealed environment the water will evaporate and then condense back into the soil. But eventually no matter how much the plant "recycles" entropy will happenjust saying
Finally! A solution to my brown thumb!
And I can´t even get a simple pot plant to grow...
As the plant grows wouldn´t it require more and more water? Maybe he added quite a bit back in ´72.
My BS sense is tingling
It´s like #2 said, the water recycles. It´s used, but then the cycle repeats. It´s been a long time since my college class called physical geography (not maps and culture, systems like the water system), but I remember this.The headline is misleading, of course, the plants also need LIGHT. Doesn´t have to be sunlight, photosynthesis just needs light.A local garden radio host was once asked what the difference was between an ordinary light bulb and a ´´grow light.´´ His answer was seven dollars and 95 cents.Upshot from the phys-geo course and just plain common sense is that this would certainly work. Not on something delicate, but spiderwort is hardy as all get out.As for entropy, if the plant were mutating, yes, but this is simply a controlled environment and a plant that thrives on such a thing.It also happens to be pretty cool.
Forgot the other thing I was going to say about the water: remember, the whole earth is a closed system as far as water is concerned. We have all we´re ever going to get, since (if not creation) the Flood at least.God´s world: the ultimate recycler. Feh on Rumpke : )
Similar to the weed of liberalism....

Braun: Best of the Bunch
On March 16th, I know most of you can't remember as far back as September 16th, but trust me on March 16th I wrote a piece that I titled Who is #3? At the time there was a pretty general consensus that Albert Pujols and Hanley Ramirez were the top-2 options in the fantasy game. Proving yet again that this is far from an exact science, Pujols had a solid but unspectacular season for him (.299-37-99-105-9), whereas Ramirez struggled mightily before finally succumbing to shoulder surgery (.243-10-45-55-20 in 92 games).
Since there was no consensus as to who should have been drafted #3 overall I went through a bunch of names up for consideration at that spot in the above linked piece before I settled on Ryan Braun. Before I get to Braun and what was obviously a spectacular call by me (I'm so modest), let me list the reasons why I was concerned with the other options, and then give the figures to back up what I thought.
"Some think it should be Miguel Cabrera. He worries me because of his off the field issues."
Looks like the boozing just isn't an issue after all. He hit a robust .344, and though he hit 30 homers with 105 RBI the homer total was a five year low while his RBI total was the worst he's ever had in eight full seasons.
Troy Tulowitzki: "…I'm troubled by the fact that he has played less than 125 games in two of the past three years ."
He played more games than I thought he might, 143, but injuries limited him to three year lows in runs scored (81), steals (nine), OBP (.372) and SLG (.544). He still had a great year though.
Carlos Gonzalez: "…hit .289 with eight homers on the road last year and he's only had one season of significance in the big leagues."
He was even worse in 2011 on the road hitting .252 with a .757 OPS. He still had a great year considering he played in 127 games (.295-26-92-92-20), but everything predictably regressed.
Evan Longoria: " I think he's the top third baseman this year, but I don't think third base is as shallow as some think."
50/50 here. Third base was even more shallow than we thought as everyone was injured at one point or another. With a late season power surge he finished the year with 31 homers and 99 RBI to place himself amongst the best at the position, but he also hit a career worst .244 and stole a career low three bags.
"What about Joey Votto or Robinson Cano? Nope."
Both players had great efforts, no if's, and's or but's about it, but neither rose to the level of being the #3 selection.
Votto: .309-29-103-101-8 with a .947 OPS
Cano: .302-28-118-104-8 with a .882 OPS
"Roy Halladay? Don't get crazy on me. "
Halladay was typically grand, but he may not have even been the best pitcher on his own team (Cliff Lee posted virtually identical numbers).
All of that leads to Ryan Braun. Here are the points I made with Braun (you can get more detail from the initial piece).
(1) Consistency/Across the board production.
For the 5th straight year he hit better than .285 with more than 25 homers, 97 RBI, 91 runs and 14 steals. He produced a 5×5 line of .332-33-111-109-33 in what was his best season of a stupendous career.
(2) Health.
The previous three seasons Braun had appeared in 151 or more games. He missed out in 2011, but I'll take the 150 total he played in every year.
(3) Upside.
I mentioned in the previous piece that if you took the career bests for Braun in the main five fantasy categories you'd end up with a season of .324-37-114-113-20. How did he do in 2011? He bettered the average at .332. He fell just short in the homer, RBI and runs scored categories with 33, 111 and 109. Still, that's pretty damn close ain't it? The kicker is that he went for 33 steals, just one less than he posted in 2009 and 2010.
Braun wasn't just the best choice as the #3 selection this year, he actually ended the year as the second best fantasy performer behind only Matt Kemp (.324-39-126-115-40). And you wanted to drafted Troy Tulowitzki…

Skyhawk Soccer | Chris Penn - Graduate Assistant
Chris Penn has been a graduate assistant with the Skyhawk soccer team since 2011. He primarily works with the goalkeepers.
In 2012, Penn helped lead the Skyhawks to their second NCAA Tournament appearance in as many seasons, as UT Martin competed throughout before narrowly falling 1-0 to Southeastern Conference power Kentucky. UT Martin would conclude the 2012 season with a program record .659 winning percentage on its way to the first-ever outright Ohio Valley Conference regular season championship.
Last season, Penn worked directly with goalkeepers Mariah Klenke and Sarah Tompkins, who combined for a miniscule 0.93 Goals Against Average and a program record eight shutouts. Klenke was named to the All-OVC first team, All-OVC Tournament squad and was the Most Valuable Player of the OVC Tournament. In just two seasons, Klenke is already UT Martin's all-time leader in victories with 21.
In his first season as a member of the UT Martin coaching staff in 2011, the Skyhawks won their first-ever OVC Tournament title. With Penn on staff, UT Martin would win 14 matches - four more than any other team in school history - and make an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the program's 14-year tenure.
Penn directly worked with a pair of record-setting goalkeepers in his first year at UT Martin. He coached Klenke, who set a school record with 10 victories during her freshman campaign. He also tutored senior Lauren MacKenzie, who graduated as the program's all-time leader in shutouts (10).
Penn was a four-year letterman under legendary head coach Pepe Fernandez at Maryville College, a Division-III powerhouse located in Maryville, Tenn.
In Penn's four seasons at Maryville (2007-10), the Scots posted a 53-16-6 overall record, including a remarkable 20-1-1 record in Great South Athletic Conference play. During Penn's tenure, Maryville claimed four GSAC championships and four GSAC tournament titles. Penn played goalkeeper at Maryville, allowing just 10 goals in 943:07 spread out over 20 matches for a Goals Against Average of 0.95. He tallied 32 saves and recorded three shutouts.
Prior to his collegiate career, Penn prepped at Chattanooga School for the Arts and Science, where he established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Chattanooga area. Playing under coaches Ron Nance and Patrick Daverson, Penn was a four-year letterman on the Patriots' varsity squad. He was a two-time Best of the Preps selection and also earned his team's Defensive MVP award twice. He helped lead CSAS to an undefeated regular-season record and No. 1 ranking in the state of Tennessee as a senior.
At UT Martin, Penn is pursuing a Master's degree in international business.

Sunday Coffee Sippin'
Happy Long Weekend everyone! I got to sleep in a little this morning and it felt grand. So tonight is the season finale of Downton Abby - Just a little excited about this. I really hope Lady Mary and Matthew finalize realize "at the same time" that they are meant for one another. I'm planning on doing a little furniture shifting in our family room and this is the inspiration.
As i'm sippin' my Sunday Coffee...here is what's catching my eye.
Lovin' these easy to make confetti tags.
Illustrations = a touch of whimsy and a side of delight.
I love the idea of sharing what you're thankful for and doing it through photos.
Remember to Be Open to whatever comes next.
A Colorful DIY mat that I think I'm gonna make.
I might like a lamp in the kitchen.
I just discovered this online magazine and the pictures are gorgeous.
