Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery in 1838. Years later, in 1881, he published an account of his journey from his masters' home in Maryland to his freedom in New Bedford, Massachutsetts. In these excerpts, Douglass describes his fear during his daring escape, his joy when he realized his freedom, and his sorrow at the hardships still to come.
Caulker's Tool Chest, late 19th century. The Library at the Mariners' Museum.
Frederick Douglass was trained as a caulker, a dockworker whose job it was to use waterproof materials to stop up the cracks between the planks of boats so they didn't leak. This caulker's tool chest is filled with the tools of the caulking trade and is similar to the one Frederick Douglass may have used.

In his lifetime, Frederick Douglass knew hardships of slavery, but he also knew the prestige of being a well-known speaker, author and presidential adviser. His journey between these two is an eventful one. Students will read excerpts from one of Frederick Douglass' autobiographies, "My Escape from Slavery," and complete storyboard panels detailing this section of Douglass' life. They will then conduct a gallery walk to view their classmates' work and put together the complete narrative.

"The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal wakefulness. Freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen in everything. It was ever present to torment me with a sense of my wretched condition. I saw nothing without seeing it, I heard nothing without hearing it, and felt nothing without feeling it. It looked from every star, it smiled in every calm, breathed in every wind, and moved in every storm."
— Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Ch. 7.

Today's Distraction: Slamming A Ford Focus Into A Concrete Wall At 120 MPH
By Eyder Peralta
What happens if a Ford Focus slams into a concrete wall at 120 mph?
The guys at the British motoring show Fifth Gear — an offshoot of the popular Top Gear — wanted to find out. They make some grand claims about the test they conducted. For example they say the test is the fastest test crash ever conducted, which brings up doubt. They also say the test was so fast, test experts didn't want to use their dummies. They're too expensive and it was likely they would be destroyed.
Anyway, the video is pretty incredible:

EDITORIAL: Mar 03
On Monday 24th February, 116 countries met in Malaysia for the 13th Summit of non-aligned countries, known collectively as the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Although there was some coverage of the Summit by news stations and western media, much of the discussion constituted a brief overview of the two day event. The analysis and interpretation of current global events that took place during the Summit provides insights into international issues through the eyes of nations whose opinion in western media is often unheard. The Summit represents the views of some 3 billion people through their elected politicians. This editorial extracts a few of the points made in the final report of the Summit alongside providing readers with access to the full version of the final report. Due to the size of the document, 82 pages, News Views has created quick links to topics so readers can easily access areas of the report that are of specific interest.
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) began in 1961, created initially in response to the concerns of the global climate when the Cold War was in full swing. 25 countries attended the initial conference in former Yugoslavia. Since then, the numbers of nations represented at the summits have grown significantly. Summits are held every three years with the agendas moving away from the political arena into discussions on global economics and other important global issues. The countries that are members of the Non-Aligned Movement are listed at the end of the final report. Computer Network Support - Computer Network Support deals with the maintenance of an existing computer network. It is focused on maintaining the overall integrity of the system, which includes security and efficient local area networking (LAN) or wide area networking (WAN) connectivity throughout the organization. Oftentimes, the service of a computer engineer is tapped for this purpose. Source:NAM The 13th Summit covered 4 major areas; global issues, analysis of the international situation, economic issues and social issues. The overall aim of the delegates was to agree a set of actions by members to promote, "peace, security, justice, equality, democracy and development". A vast number of topics were considered, this article documents only a tiny selection of the very valuable concerns identified at the Summit and documented through the final NAM report. The first Chapter within the final report is entitled 'Global Issues' and examines such matters as the current international situation, the state and role of the United Nations, international law, disarmament and terrorism. In the present global climate, with the onset of a new war alongside further terrorism, an insight into the perspectives of half of the world who are often on the other side of the battles is vital to promote understanding. Below are a few of the extracts from this section of the report, The Heads of State or Government reaffirmed the Movement's commitment to the Charter of the United Nations and underscored the need to preserve and promote the centrality and sanctity of its principles and purposes. The Heads of State or Government reiterated the Movement's position that the imposition of sanctions is an issue of serious concern for Non-Aligned Countries, and that sanctions are a blunt instrument, the use of which raises fundamental ethical questions of whether sufferings inflicted on vulnerable groups in the target country are legitimate means of exerting pressure. The objectives of sanctions are not to punish or otherwise exact retribution. In this regard, they reiterated that the objectives of sanctions regimes should be clearly defined. These should be imposed for a specified time frame and be based on tenable legal grounds and should be lifted as soon as the objectives are achieved. The conditions demanded of the country or party on which sanctions are imposed should be clearly defined and subject to periodic review. Attempts to impose or to prolong the application of sanctions to achieve political ends should be rejected. The Heads of State or Government expressed their strong concern at the growing resort to unilateralism and unilaterally imposed prescriptions and in this context strongly underlined and affirmed that multilateralism and multilaterally agreed solutions, in accordance with the United Nations Charter, provided the only sustainable method of addressing disarmament and international security issues. In this regard, they welcomed the adoption of Resolution 57/63 by the General Assembly on the "Promotion of Multilateralism in the Area of Disarmament and Non-proliferation The Heads of State or Government unequivocally condemned international terrorism as a criminal act. They noted that terrorism endangers the territorial integrity, as well as national and international security. Such acts also violate human rights, in particular the right to life, destroys the physical and economic infrastructure, and attempts to de-stabilise legitimately constituted governments. rmcn rating In the second part of the report, which looks at an 'Analysis of the International Situation', specific countries are assessed within Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Latin America. Examples from this section include; Korean Peninsula: The Heads of State or Government expressed serious concern over the recent developments on the Korean Peninsula. They expressed hope that these issues be resolved peacefully, including through dialogue and negotiations. They called upon all parties concerned to do everything possible to resolve the nuclear issue peacefully. They also recognised the contribution of the ASEAN Standing Committee and ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) as well as their chairs towards a peaceful settlement of these issues. Cuba: The Heads of State or Government again called upon the Government of the United States of America to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba which, in addition to being unilateral and contrary to the UN Charter and international law, and to the principle of neighbourliness, causing huge material losses and economic damage to the people of Cuba. The Heads of State or Government once again urged strict compliance with the Resolutions 47/19, 48/16, 49/9, 50/10, 51/17, 52/10, 53/4, 54/21, 55/20, 56/9 and 57/11 of the United Nations General Assembly. They expressed deep concern over the widening of the extra-territorial nature of the embargo against Cuba and over continuous new legislative measure geared to intensifying it. The Movement also urged the United States Government to return the territory now occupied by the Guant namo Naval Base to Cuban sovereignty and to put an end to aggressive radio and TV transmission against Cuba.

Last week on NWI, a report by Ian Williams of Channel 4 news looked at the beginnings of a new 'free' press in Iraq. Formerly the media was under the stronghold of Saddam Hussein's eldest son, Uday and as the report explains, his style of control was authoritarian, sometimes violent and often under the influence of alcohol. Williams witnesses the wheels of an Iraqi newspaper starting to turn, the press has begun rolling. But it is not a day ofcelebration and employees cautiously appear from an unmarked building where the journalism is underway. This is the first newspaper in the post-Saddam era but people are still very wary, explains Williams.

The weekly Coffee Break invites readers to discuss,"Tension between the US and the Islamic Republic of Iran are growing as the US accuses Iran of allowing al-Qaeda members sanctuary as well as starting a nuclear weapons program. Does the US still have any credibility over accusations of weapons of mass destruction when none have been found in Iraq? Since none of the September 11th al-Qaeda operatives came from Iran, is Iran the biggest threat of al-Qaeda? Will the international community support the US if Iran turn out to be the next on the US list?" View discussion

Community Engagement Research Program (CERP)
The Community Engagement Research Program (CERP) builds on two existing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funded Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) at MSM and Emory, both of which have a strong track record in developing community-based research initiatives that are responsive to the needs and priorities of the communities served by each center. The two PRCs provide outstanding models of academic-community partnerships through which academic scientists, in collaboration with community members, are able to conduct community-engaged research, build community capacity, and train students and junior investigators in community-engaged research approaches. CERP unites the two schools' other academic-community research partnerships, develops new bi-directional collaborations, and interfaces with other ACTSI components.
CERP provides the framework and training to disseminate and promote effective interventions and recruit participants for Clinical Research Network-based clinical studies as well as community intervention trials. Equally important, the program increases community capacity to participate in research (including the identification of research questions and topics for discovery) and works toward the improvement of its own health. CERP transforms research from a scientist-subject interaction that generates publishable data to a more equitable partnership - one in which the process of research, as well as the outcomes, benefit both the researchers and the community. This will lead to a reduction in health disparities.

Not Your Mother's Baby Names
There's an entire generation of new baby names that are moving rapidly up the popularity list and that distinguish themselves by being recently minted–and by the fact that grandparents do a double take the first time they hear them. For even if they existed as surnames or place names or occupations, they've rarely been used before as first names. Many of these new baby names are morphed versions of names that were used in another form earlier, while others have been spun from thin air.
Some are clearly celebrity-sourced—as when Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale gave their son a name inspired by their own personal associations with the island of Jamaica—and it wasn't long before the name Kingston jumped onto the list. Similarly, the singular name Miley has spread like wildfire with the fame of its onetime exclusive bearer.
Putting aside the legion of offshoots and variations—in rhyming and spelling—of names related to Riley, Ryan, Bailey, Aiden, Tyler and Tyson, which already seem so 20th century– we've come up with a list of some of the most prominent nouveau names. Although a precise demarcation can't be drawn, and some of them were coming onto the radar in the 90s, these are the new baby names that definitely have a 21st century feel.

Today is the last day for Longboat Key Fire-Rescue Chief Julius Halas, who signs off after 10 years of service as the town's fire chief. Halas, who will serve as director of the state fire marshal's office, starts his new job later this month.
Halas was sent off with a large carrot cake at the north fire station at noon Friday, May 1. More than 30 firefighters and town staff attended the get-together and wished Halas well.
Halas, who got choked up while reading cards from his fellow employees, set aside the cards to spend time with his co-workers and friends.
"I will read these all later so I won't become a mess," Halas said. "I've enjoyed every minute of it here though, I really have."
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis appointed former Sanibel Fire-Rescue Chief Richard A. Dickerson to replace Halas.
Dickerson, whose first official start day was April 27, has 27 years of public-safety experience, beginning as a paramedic in Lee County before moving on to Sanibel as a paramedic and, later, fire chief from 2000 to 2007.
Dickerson was the incident commander for Sanibel and Captiva Island during hurricanes Charley in 2004 and Wilma in 2005.

Prophecy Triple Pack
Includes:The Prophecy (1995), MPAA Rating: R The Prophecy II (1998), MPAA Rating: R The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000), MPAA Rating: R The Prophecy The directorial debut from Highlander screenwriter Gregory Widen stars Christopher Walken as the angel Gabriel, who, fed up with God giving all of his attention to humans, decides to stage a sort of coup. With plans of killing all of the good angels, Gabriel decides to enlist the help of a recently deceased and inhumanly malevolent army general. In order to prevent Gabriel from obtaining the help of the vicious Korean War vet, good angel Simon (Eric Stoltz) stashes the general's soul in an unsuspecting young Native American girl named Mary (Moriah Snyder). As Gabriel gets closer to finding Mary, an ex-seminary-student-turned-cop and a school teacher, played by Elias Koteas and Virginia Madsen, team together to protect her. Meanwhile, Satan (Viggo Mortensen) enters into the mix, concerned over the implications the heavenly war may have on his dominion. Later spawning a series of sequels, The Prophecy was released in the U.K. under the title God's Army. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide The Prophecy II Christopher Walken returns as the guerrilla angel Gabriel, the leader of an evil heavenly revolution in which bad angels seek to upset the heavenly hierarchy by destroying humanity and all good angels -- because Gabriel believes God favors mortals. This time, Gabriel has been spit from the bowels of Hell, where even Lucifer tired of the chaos he created. He is stalking the L.A. streets in hopes of finishing his bloody war by murdering the second incarnation of Christ, who is gestating within the womb of nurse Jennifer Beals. Protecting her is the angel Danyael (Russell Wong). As Gabriel is not literate in late-20th-century technology, he enlists the assistance of Izzy (Brittany Murphy), a depressive teen whom he saves from suicide. This follow-up to the popular Prophecy is far gorier than its predecessor. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide The Prophecy 3: The Ascent In the third installment of the series that began with The Prophecy, the Angel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) has taken up residence on Earth, where he's learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life among humans, such as frosted doughnuts and driving a convertible. One night, he witnesses Danyael (Dave Buzzotta), a heretic preacher with a storefront church who tells his flock that God doesn't care much for the people who tend the Earth. A blind man (Brad Dourif) who claims to hear the voice of God shoots Danyael several times in the chest. However, several hours after he's pronounced dead, Danyael rises from his slab at the morgue and heads out into the street. Maggie (Kayren Ann Butler), his understandably upset girlfriend, is then approached by Zouhael (Vincent Spano), a fallen angel who needs Danyael for his own evil purposes. It seems that Danyael is half human and half angel, and both Gabriel and Zouhael want his help. A Spirit of genocide and destruction is about to rise on a Native American reservation, and if Gabriel is going to stop it -- or Zouhael is going to bring it forward -- they will need Danyael's guidance. Prophecy 3: The Ascent marked the directorial debut of Patrick Lussier, who has often worked as an editor for horror director Wes Craven. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
Dead Again - DVD
Set in contemporary Los Angeles as well as the Los Angeles of the 1940s, Dead Again explores a romance between two star-crossed lovers -- and the doomed passion they shared in their last lifetime. Los Angeles detective Mike Church (Kenneth Branagh) comes to the aid of mute, amnesia-victim Grace (Emma Thompson) and falls in love with her. He sets out to discover her true identity and the source of her terrible nightmares. Mike is aided in his investigation by hypnotist/furniture dealer Franklyn Madison (Derek Jacobi) who discovers that in a past life Grace was Margaret Strauss (also played by Thompson), who may have been mudered by her husband Roman (Branagh). ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide

Post subject: one flag pole!! please read and reply
Hey I was on an ice map today and there was only one flag pole!!! it was in the center of the map, in the middle room. I don't think this is fair to axis or allies
Because to allies its harder to score because even though the axis can't cow anymore that flag is still easer to get to for them. I was on axis, and it was hard for us too!
Even though I was on the axis team we still had a hard time. Because the new ppl that didn't realice there was only one flag. Plus now no one can cow at all. that kinda sucks
even the allies like to cow.
How about having a flag in the transmitter(easer for allies to get to) and one on top of the allies base or the old storage place, plus one in the middle. this way if the axis or allies want to cow they both can. The transmitter isn't as safe as the hut is
just a thought

i think the concept of one flag pole would be better on mp.depot and the flags on mp.ice should be put back. i dont see why bani would want to take all the poles out. if the allies dont want the axis to cow, then they should stop coming to them!

I think that any CP map needs at least 4 flagpoles. The problem is that at least 2 have to be in "neutral" territory. It's OK to locate one flagpole in each team's home territory, where they can locate a cow, but there has to be a balance so that no team has a large advantage.
That was the problem with the original ice map. The Axis flagpoles were well protected and easily accessible to Axis players. The same could not be said for the Allies.
Perhaps, if one flagpole was removed from the Axis, AND one flagpole relocated for the Allies, it would be a more balanced and fair map.
Be seeing you!

bani, i suggest that you change it back fast. do SOMETHING or else people will stop playing. i say that we put it back to the original setup. like i said, if the allies dont want the axis to cow, stop going to them. we should have a big pole and get all the members to respond, that way we get an accurate responce form the gamers. but change it back and try to think of a better solution before they get even more pissed at you

ice was too unbalanced to axis, now neither side has an unfair advantage.

the only truly balanced map in goldrush is trenchtoast....if you're really that interested in keeping balance then why not make an automatic side switch after each round. a good team is then forced to change its tactics if it doesn't have the easy cow position. i've seen plenty of allied teams win on ice just by superior tactics.

Post subject: How to balance
My first post here.
1 pole makes the game revolve around the center room, whereas many poles spreads the game out more. I mostly play ICE, and I have noticed less activity around the map with 1 center pole.
Cows: The axis have a room with good protection on 3 sides while the allies don't really have this luxury. This could easily be balanced by making the room where the normal war plans are being open and the allies could put there cow in there. The best the allies can do to cow now is put someone in a house, which is far from a pole(with the multi-pole style). The room on the top on the building is close to a pole and offers 3 side of protection and is also close to the allied spawn point. I think this would balance out the ICE map nicely.

Post subject: one flag pole
I agree changes are necessary, as the axis had a far easier time cowing, though I did see someone manage a 20k+ cow on allies yesterday with 1 flag. The 1 flag means that covert/stealth actions are no longer any use and most time is spent just running to the centre to die.
I agree with the suggestion of having a flag at the transmitter and one at the stronghold, opening the docs room to make it easier to defend.
I would also leave the centre flag, as it is a nice dropping off point if a good fire fight is happening

First off bani you do great things
If someone told me a few months ago that I would be playing a game where when you shoot someone they blowup and gold comes out of their asses, I would have gave them a blank stare
but anyways i have another suggestion how about making the room on top of the allies base where you would normally get the documents, make that room open
This way allies could have protection right by the flag
The hut on top of the axis look out is better to cow in for axis. So you could delete that flag pole and only have the one by the transmitter. then it would be a 3 pole game one at the allies base, middle room, and one at the transmitter. That would be cool for everyone i think that way axis has the transmitter(thats easer to get to there then to the hut for the allies) and the allies have the base with a room to hide in.(which means more protection and closer to the flag) and one in the middle for easy drop offs.
Someone said now with this new game(one pole in the middle room). That sneaking around is out of the question is right. But there is a lot of ppl that don't get that and they don't even run into the room they try to fight out side of it
I hate these kinda ppl these are the ppl that stand around and they don't give you back up to help you win the fight, that could have like 10+ gold on the line. They're like scared to die or something
Like if they die they will not come back whats up with that

First off, wonderful work bani, I absolutely love this mod. You've done great work, and I'm always curious to see what is comming up next.
Ok, I've played a lot of Ice with normal flagpoles, and 1 flagpole. Personally, I think the map is just pretty much a different style of play alltogether either way.
Here's the thing; with multiple poles, the axis may have a safer cow area, but the allies can still get the cow to the flag just fine. If they do lots of /shoving (which changed the game even more than the pole removal, if you ask me), and cover that tunnel entrance, almost no axis can get through there in time. To be honest, with all poles, I saw the allies win much more often.
Now with 1 pole, I personally think the axis have an advantage. I see them win almost every time now. The problem is, to be honest, newbies. The axis' route it pretty straightforward; run out of spawn, go into tunnel. The allies on the other hand... you've got people wandering around the stronghold (and those horrible people that like to just sit on top of the mountians and do nothing), and people just generally wandering around outside. This is in no way something to blame the one pole thing on, it's just bad luck with your team.
Now, anyone who has played ice normally, or competatively, know that the middle pole is almost -exactly- the same distance from both spawns. the first people out of spawn to the pole will almost always meet up at the pole at the same time. So, that would be in defense of the one pole being fair. But to me, I still see the axis having the advantage. But hey, there's really nothing you can do about that. When it all comes down to it, a team of players who know what they are doing give the advantage, no matter what.
So in conclusion (yea, I wrote too much, meh), It seems to me that all poles is slightly favored to allies, while one pole is slightly favored to axis. So really, both are good I think. If it's possible to vote on a change for them, than that'd be nice.
Oh yea, and I'm pretty sure it's not possible to open that doc room on the allied stronghold, since it's set to checkpoint. But who knows, maybe it's possible...

Walter Patterson Herald ColumnistWhen is the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? It is such a great and historic document that many of us actually get "goose bumps" when we read it. The men who wrote and signed this document were no "shrinking violets." They knew that once this document was published the King of England would react with brute force to compel the colonists to submit to his will. The Revolutionary War proved King George wrong. Americans were cut out of a different cloth than what he had expected. Freedom to form their own government and control their own destiny were powerful forces at work that would eventually lead to the formation of what is now the United States of America. The Declaration of Independence was the starting point, an event that we celebrate every July 4th. The men who signed this Declaration knew that what they were doing was going to cause serious trouble not only for themselves, but for their fellow Americans. If you read this document carefully, you learn quickly that Ben Franklin, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Jefferson, and others, meant business. There are no ambiguities in this document. There was no room for King George to misinterpret what was said. America was declaring its independence from England, and these uncommon men were willing to stand and fight for their God-given rights.I am always impressed with these men's reliance on a Divine Being. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures' God entitle them, a descent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which compel them to the separation."The Declaration of Independence leaves no doubt that King George was grossly incompetent, out of touch with reality, or on an ego trip that was sure to lead to war. I am amazed that some of the things the colonists complained about are some of the same things we are complaining about today.Our elected representatives are either incompetent, out of touch with reality, or they are indifferent to the will of the people.For example, 68 percent of the American people think that Obamacare should be rescinded. Contained within this disastrous bill are 23 new taxes that were imposed in the dead of night by the Democrat Party. Not one conservative or one Republican voted for this "train wreck." Contained within the Declaration of Independence is this complaint: "For imposing taxes on us without our consent."In the last four years, we have seen the federal government grow exponentially. The IRS, for example, has hired 16,000 new officials to make sure that Obamacare is enforced and to punish those citizens who do not meet the letter of the law. So what complaints are listed in the Declaration of Independence concerning the growth of government? "He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance." Does this sound familiar?Our "out of touch" congress has imposed Obamacare which will cause health insurance premiums to rise astronomically. In some states, the cost for a family of four will be near $20,000. Young people, by far the healthiest group of citizens, will be forced to pay these ridiculously high prices for health insurance in order to bring down the cost of insurance for the elderly and the chronically disabled. The facts are that the young, those 40 or less, have very few medical bills (about $840 per year) while the elderly need more services. Is this fair? Does this not take food off of young people's table? Does this not "eat out their substance?"The men who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence were honorable men – men who did not waste their time trying to trick their fellow citizens like Senator Marco Rubio did with the immigration bill or like Tennessee's Bob Corker. Both of these men are "bait and switch" artists who shrink in comparison to those who signed the Declaration of Independence.Our founding fathers were honorable men with powerful intellects. They also had intestinal fortitude that makes some of our present day politicians look like circus "scam" artists. Had the British laid hands on any one of them, the hangman would have had a field day. The Declaration concludes with this passage: "And for the support of this Declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.These were real men. Perhaps our modern day politicians would take courage from reading or re-reading the Declaration of Independence.
Jamie Patterson Managing EditorI was laid out across the floor, looking up at the ceiling. My arm was actually about to fall asleep as I continued to wait for permission to get up. Feeling my arm slowly going numb, I turned on my side to move off my arm. My daughter Elsie came running from around her toy chest, heading toward me. "No, no, no," she said, waving her finger at me. Then she took her little hand and shoved my arm back down on the blanket she had prepared for me. It was still "nap time," and I was not allowed to move. This was the routine I followed for about ten minutes the other day as I played with my little girl in her room. My husband Jason had taken our son James outside to work in the yard. So, it was "girl time" inside as Elsie and I jumped from one activity to the next in her room. I must admit, it wasn't just a typical play day. This time, I really watched Elsie with all her facial expressions, mannerisms and actions. It was something else to see my baby girl's unique personality starting to develop. The afternoon started with rolling a blanket out across the floor. She pointed to it, instructing me that it was time for my nap. As I sprawled out across the floor, she patted my back and put her tiny finger to her mouth. "Sshhhh," she said, turning on the night light. I had to "nap" for ten minutes before she turned the night light off and shook me awake. Then it was time for her tea party. We had a small table, complete with a Cinderella tea pot, four mismatched tea cups, a sugar bowl shaped like a heart and a plate of plastic cupcakes. Elsie took a seat and grabbed the tea pot that began to make all kinds of noises and trumpet sounds, letting her know the tea was done. She kept her head low but shot her eyes up at me. She then raised her eyebrow and grinned to the left. "Get ready," she seemed to say, as she began to pour the tea out. We drank about 20 cups of tea in that one sitting. Making slurping sounds and biting on plastic desserts, it was the most sophisticated tea party I had been to in a while. From there, it was on to take care of our many babies. Elsie had about six of her most prized baby dolls inside a small wooden crib. Grabbing each one, she placed a bottle up to the doll's mouth and fed her. It was the bottles that look like they are filled with milk only to disappear when you turn it upside down. Elsie then "burped" each one before placing them inside their crib and covering them up with a blanket.As the babies slept, Elsie decided it was time to start on supper. Heading over to her kitchen set, she prepared a first-class meal: spaghetti with peas, topped with a chicken drumstick. She placed the plate in front of me until she saw that I tried every single thing on my plate. Then, of course, it was time for tea again. Our play date continued until the boys returned. At that point, Elsie left behind her baby dolls, tea set and kitchen to find her big brother. My little princess had been replaced with a rough tomboy who managed to sneak in a wrestling match and race car race in all before bedtime. Putting her toys away that night for her, I began to smile. I will long for those play days again one day. And I will appreciate and love every one of them. It's those days that matter. The days when the entire world can be visited in a child's bedroom. When a tea party is the best invite you can receive. When a plastic baby becomes your top priority.When a dining table covered with a sheet takes me away to the caves of a faraway kingdom. When a plastic pool becomes the raging waters of a river. Those are the days I will long for when my children aren't in the mood to play with Mommy anymore. One day I will want those moments back. But until then, I say pour the tea. Line up the race cars. And let the wrestling matches begin. Time will one day take those moments away. And it seems that children are the ones who know how to play the game of time beautifully.
Jamie Patterson Managing EditorI felt like I had been involved with the workings of a miracle when I was finally able to throw my crutches back into the closet. After hobbling around town on two crutches as my foot healed from torn ligaments, I felt like doing a Riverdance right in the middle of Main Street when I was finally able to walk again. Granted, I had a slight limp for a few days. But things were starting to look up for me. Believe it or now, after sitting in a recliner for two weeks, I was ready to get back to my motherly, wifey, part-time homemaker duties. That sink of dirty dishes was calling my name. Those loads of laundry needed me. The unmade beds were beckoning me back. And my family was ready for me. (At least I thought they were).The first day that I was able to actually walk back into my home with no assistance didn't go the way that I had planned. With no crutch, chair or cane by my side...I proudly walked into my kitchen, eager to show off my independence. Our son James was standing in the kitchen, holding onto a pack of Toy Story fruit snacks."See, my foot is better, and I can walk again," I told him, pointing to my foot. "Things will finally get back to normal around here. Momma is back."At that moment, James dropped his snacks and threw his hands over his face...breaking into tears. In the distance, I heard our little girl Elsie crack a few sniffles. I expected a high five, a bear hug. I wanted a shredded paper parade, an announcement. I thought the idea of Momma getting the house back in shape (and order) would be welcomed. Instead I had a son with an emotional collapse in front of me. Elsie actually ran up to my husband Jason with her arms extended.Was I really that bad? But then it dawned on me. The reign of the children was over, done...finished. Those two kids had taken total advantage of their father was I was chained to the recliner of recovery. There were a few times Jason seemed to be on the verge of running into the woods with his hands in the air, calling out into the distance like a wild animal. The past two weeks have been structured...but on the terms of a five year old and a two year old. Bedtimes were not strictly enforced. A few tears, another request for milk, a sudden "tummy ache" and a lost pacifier kept those two out of bed two hours past normal. Trying to fulfill so many requests left Jason exhausted.Meal times were ignored. Spaghetti and meatballs were replaced with Pop Tarts and yogurt. Healthy apples slices were exchanged for Butterfingers and Oreos. Daddy's firm talks now consisted of tickle sessions. Jason claims he can't discipline "his little girl" because of the way she looks at him. So, for the past 14 days...she has been tickled instead. Her tantrums would lead to belly tickles. James has gone to school looking like someone forgot to comb his hair. Elsie's clothes didn't match a single day. James' hair may have been a problem, but Elsie's remains an unsolved mystery. Jason still insists that a little girl's pigtails require an engineering degree. So, naturally, I thought the (almost insane) order I bring to the table would be welcomed. That was not the case. The kids are dragging their feet a little, but they are adjusting back to the real world. They are now in bed on time. Snacks come after supper. Time outs have returned. Clothes now match. And pigtails are back. I thought I would forever be labeled as the "bad guy" while Jason assumed the "fun guy" role. It might still be the case, but I wear that title with honor. It's fine to have those fun, crazy times. But there has to be some order or things go wild. There has to be that Mommy touch. I snicker about the kids' reaction when they realized I was back in the swing of things. But there was one perk to my return. Jason gave me a hug, followed by a sly grin and a high five when he saw me prancing around like normal."I'm glad you're back," he said. "It got crazy around here for a minute.""It wasn't that bad," I reply. And as Jason makes his way out of the room, I throw away the stash of candy I found under a certain child's bed. Yep, Momma's back.
Walter Patterson Herald ColumnistThe experts tell us that the Information Age began sometime in 1964. That is when we began to use computers to store and process data. But apparently when the computer began to think for us, common sense went out the window. Take for example the military. We have a commander-in-chief who never served a day in the military and the most influential leaders in the Senate are Barbara Boxer, a true California Democrat liberal, and Diane Feinstein, another California Democrat liberal who, it seems, has as her mission the destruction of our military. Now there are others in the Democrat Party who have as much disdain for the military as these two senators, but they don't seem to be as vocal or as irrational as these two.If you have been reading the newspapers or watching the news, you have no doubt seen stories about "sexual abuse" in the military. Not only that, but you read about the high number of pregnancies that occur aboard Navy ships, and the Admirals and Generals are blamed because they "do not have control of their men and women in uniform."Let me assure you that I am against the "sexual abuse" of women. As a Southern Gentlemen reared by Christian parents, I was taught to respect and honor women. One of the four spankings I received as a child from dad was when my mother had the women of the Missionary Society over and I "showed off" in front of these dear ladies. When my mother informed my dad of my inability to control myself in front of the fairer sex, he made a short trip to the peach tree, and when he returned, I experienced a lesson in how to behave – especially in front of women. It was a lesson well taught. I remember that experience today, and every time I have the impulse to do something untoward, I remember the "showing off" lesson.But back to commonsense. We live in a "politically correct" world. Gov. Phil Bryant found out what speaking the truth could do for you with the press when he said that when women started working outside the home and putting the children in day care, that marked the beginning of some of our educational problems. Well, that is a true statement. Most ministers and psychologists I have heard believe that it is better for the child if mom is at home nurturing him and instilling confidence. The sad truth is that many moms would like to stay home with the children, but in order to make ends meet and maintain a reasonable standard of living, they must work outside the home. This is a modern-day fact of life. But the governor was at least partially correct, and his critics are so "politically correct" that they remind me of clueless California Democrats or worse, Senator Chuck Shumer of New York."Women in the military" is a modern concept totally bereft of any research which would demonstrate that they are warriors. For most of human history, man was the hunter and women maintained the dwelling and raised the children. If war occurred between tribes, the victorious tribe raped and killed the women or worse, made slaves of them. But there is another factor to be considered. That is the boy/girl factor. What happens when young people of the opposite sex are thrown together? Emotions begin to take over, and common sense goes out the window. This is as natural as the sun rising in the east. No wonder we have a large number of pregnancies aboard naval vessels. What do the Democrats expect? When you have young physically fit people blended together, things happen, and no Admiral or Commanding General is going to stop that. Who among us is more powerful than nature? None, and you can bet the farm on that.Liberalism has brought us to the sad state we are in today. We have a disengaged President who is willing to impede our military's effectiveness, and we have liberal Democrat women in the Senate and House who have no idea what they are doing. Social experimentation is the order of the day, and anyone with common sense knows what the outcome of these misguided experiments against nature will be.We now have a "politically correct" military with "politically correct" officers in command. What will happen when we are attacked by a power that is not "politically correct?" Unfortunately, we are being led by people who have no common sense or no basic understanding of human nature. The results of their actions cannot be a force for good.
Jamie Patterson Managing EditorThis weekend will mark a grand celebration of many men throughout the land. Grills will fire up, gifts will be exchanged, cards will be mailed and phone calls will be made to all the fathers, grandfathers, uncles and others for Father's Day. Many will also get a chance to relax for their one day of recognition. The tools can be put away. The "honey-do" lists can be filed. This will be a day of spoils (hopefully) for many. Although my own father wasn't around much after my parents divorced, I was blessed to have a grandfather in my life who filled the role perfectly. He may not have been my "father," but he was the next best thing. And I wouldn't exchange him or his life lessons for anything. You know how many children put their father on that pedestal, making them larger than life? My Paw Paw was that man, my hero. I thought he was the strongest, toughest yet sweetest soul I had ever encountered. As I looked over his Army uniform and photographs of his service in World War II, I truly thought he was a hero that you only see in movies. To me, Paw Paw was bigger than John Wayne and all those other tough guys I watched on the television. Complete with a pipe and overalls, he was a country farm boy who worked hard, played hard. He was a rare breed. And he was mine.I will never forget the day when Paw Paw was told that a tumor on his spine would cripple him for the rest of his life. The strong man that I use to bend my head back to look up at would be in a wheelchair, almost down to my level. But watching his journey through a child's eyes I feel molded me into the adult I have become. He never complained, never asked for help. He was independent, almost stubborn. Instead he made jokes, at his own expense sometimes. He taught me that laughter is the best medicine. And at time, it's the only weapon we have. It would have been easy for Paw Paw to become bitter and give up. But he remained solid and strong. He remained my hero. He was the man who hugged me every morning when I woke up, and he kissed me and said a prayer with me every night when I went to sleep. He was my co-pilot in hundreds of games and make-believe scenes. He could sport a Easter hat for a tea party and a helmet for a police chase.He was my partner in crime, landing in the hot seat just as much as me. And he never snitched on me, not once in my entire life. He was always in my corner, the only one at times. He taught me to be loyal and honest, to say what you mean and do what you say. He gave the gift of gab, tall tales and elaborate fables. He taught me to never blame people's actions for your mistakes. Don't use things as an excuse. Come out on top and do the best you can. In the end, you will be winner. But most importantly, he showed me love. There was never a doubt about it. When I laid my head down on my pillow every night, I knew I was loved. I knew I was somebody's "little girl." Paw Paw died when I was 13 years old, and not a day passes that I don't mention his name. Whether it be a funny story or a one-liner, James Jackson is a regular name in our household. I even named my own son after him, a tribute and a sign of thanks for the man who stepped up to the plate for me. He could have stood back and watched me go, hoping for the best. But he stood beside me, and his spirit remains there to this day. Happy Father's Day, Paw Paw.

Dear EditorFirst, let us thank the members of the Yazoo City Fire department for their dedication and hard work. However, regarding the purchase of a new television set, as a taxpayer I have to say, sorry, but no especially when the city is wondering where to get funds to fix the crumbling roads. Shame on you for even considering such a request. Even $200 spent on a smaller TV now when others are struggling just to get by is wrong, selfish and plain ridiculous. Frankly, I can't believe the fire department even had the audacity to request any TV, especially a 55 inch one. When taxpayers and governments are trying to count pennies, one does not simply get rid of a television that works, and purchase a new one simply because it is aged. What happened to the principal of use it until it no longer works? Reduce, reuse and recycle needs to apply to everyone, not just to taxpayers. All government employees, not just the fire department, need to be more responsible when using taxpayers' money. Would you purchase a 55 inch television or a new television if you couldn't afford one and had no way to pay for it? I wouldn't. In fact, the television I currently own was purchased in 1987. It's not a big screen, high definition, nor 55 inches, but it works fine and I have no intention of purchasing another television while this one works. Why should the fire department or any other government entity be allowed to or even begin to think of doing such a ridiculous thing on the taxpayer's dollar?Fire department employees are well taken care of by the city they serve. We provide them with meals and a place to stay when they are on duty due to the nature of their job. We want them to be comfortable, but there comes a point when comfort turns to luxury. As long as their television is working, why should the taxpayers foot a bill for a new one? We shouldn't. The fire house is for comfort and not for luxuries. I'm curious to know if the fire department is also utilizing cable or satellite television also at the taxpayer's expense. Time to stop the buck and the time is now. If the firemen really want a new television for their luxury and enjoyment, they are free to pool their resources, their income, and purchase one for their use. Certainly, the fire department can use their television a little longer until it no longer works and let the $200 go to fix the crumbling roads, which are far more important. If the roads are unpassable, how will the firemen get to their destination and do the job they were hired to do? Again, thanks to the employees of fire departments everywhere for your dedication and hard work, but the taxpayers hired you to do a job and not to provide you with a second home. Sincerely, Dr. Frances Silva
