Rory and Wendy Alec, Angel Week, Ben Nevis
It's a well earned rest for the GOD TV team climbing Ben Nevis as they stop to spend the night. Albert Dicken shares how he came to faith and prays for viewers to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Having served God for 50 years and been a partner with GOD TV for 16, he has a passion to win souls through media. You will be inspired to step out and do more for God, especially as you hear from a Swiss family whose lives have been transformed watching GOD TV. As the sun sets, the clouds lift and there are breathtaking views of the mountain peakthat still needs to be conquered. The group gather before breakfast for a quiet time where Rory shares from Ephesians 6 about putting on 'The Full Armour of God'. "Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power" and allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate this scripture in your heart and release a powerful new understanding in your life.

Sport Makers & Other Sports Volunteering
Sport Makers & Other Sports Volunteering
This year, anyone can be a sporting hero with Sport Makers!
Whether it's planning the route, finding the pitch or encouraging people to take part – sport doesn't just happen, it needs people to make it happen. Become one of 40,000 Sport Makers and you'll not only get the skills, knowledge and opportunities you need to get more people playing sport, you'll become part of the official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic sports legacy.
What are Sport Makers?
Sport Makers simply make sport happen. Whether getting out into the community, helping out with a local sports club or encouraging your friends and family to get active, a Sport Maker can help deliver the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games by encouraging others to get involved in sport at any level - whether it is by organising a five-a-side tournament with friends, helping a club to organise a tournament or taking on some of the supporting tasks which make an event a success such as managing a team of race volunteers, taking part in Sport Makers will allow you to give as much or as little time as you like to encourage others to take part in Sport.
Becoming a Sport Maker not only gives you the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a difference to others, but the experience also looks great on a C.V, allowing you to meet other Sport Makers and other contacts - developing friendships and possibly also contacts to help you in your career!
As a thank you for giving your time, you will recieve an ADIDAS polo shirt and some other goodies - you may even get to meet one of our Olympic Ambassadors!
Who can get involved in Sport Makers?
Individuals aged 16+:

Students at the University of Colorado students moving out of the dorms last spring donated 42,012 pounds of unwanted item- fans, mirrors, snowboards, computer printers. This was more than double the amount of donations made the previous spring, according to a new report. It could be a sign of an improving economy. In the thick of the recession, it appears, students were more likely to hold on to their goods, donating 15,354 pounds of reusable items in 2010 and 20,144 pounds in 2011.

For the first time ever Scorpion, Sub Zero and the warriors from Midway's billion-dollar fighting franchise face off against Batman, Superman and other iconic and powerful DC Super Heroes, featuring signature attacks for both sides and a unique and intertwining storyline, written as a collaboration between the Mortal Kombat creative team and top comic scribes Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. Choose your side and challenge your opponents with a new fighting system including Freefall Kombat and Klose Kombat along with dynamic multi-tiered environments. Plus, pick your favorite character from MK or DCU and pursue a fighting adventure in the new single player mode with an intertwined storyline and two unique perspectives.
But the playing field has been leveled: Now that The Joker can easily pummel the lightening out of the electric deity Raiden, and Sub-Zero can freeze Superman into a patriotic Popsicle, even the most omnipotent of beings in both worlds will need an edge to come out on top. That's where we come in. There's no excuse for being unprepared when the universe is thrown into chaos; so step into a phone booth, put on a cape, and check out this guide before hopping into the fray.
In this Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe strategy guide, you'll find:

CANANDAIGUA -- State Police are looking for more possible victims after a man allegedly volunteered as a sports coach and a firefighter to lure teenage boys back to his house.
Leslie Hoke, 37, is charged with a criminal sex act. He prayed on young boys in Waterloo, Geneva, and Canandaigua, according to State Police.
Troopers say Hoke coached school sports teams to meet kids and volunteered as a firefighter to meet junior firefighters.
Officers want to hear from any teen group or peer setting where Hoke may have volunteered. You can call them at 585-398-4100.
More charges are expected, according to police.

San Diego Condo Tower Splashes Out On Public Art
Filed under: Art, Real Estate Developments
The Sapphire Tower condominium project in downtown San Diego takes a unique approach to attracting attention by using public art. While most public art is at the base of a structure, the Sapphire Tower's Borgonovo sculpture will stretch 80 feet from tip to tail. The design from artist Betsy Schulz is a modern metal and glass structure with two different textured glass colors set as the shimmering gemstones. Borgonovo will be made of two-tiered mesh, aluminum panels, textured and laminated blue and clear glass, and blue-LED string lights to illuminate the glass at night. Borgonovo is one of two major art pieces being installed at Sapphire Tower both designed by Schultz and costing just under a half a million dollars total.
Sapphire Tower is a 32-story project located on the southwest corner of Kettner Boulevard and A Street in downtown San Diego. The project will include 97 units in one and two bedroom, loft and penthouse layouts. Building amenities include a pool, hot tub, sundeck and gym. The building is set to be finished by the end of the year and prices start in the $600,00s with penthouses starting at $2.5 million.

TUCSON - Eight families from a Tucson apartment complex are facing evictions.
The property manager said they owe the landlord money from rent.
One woman said she was in rehab when a notice was sent, and said she only needs time to collect money for the payment but is still facing eviction.
"Going into rehab and coming out to this, I'm just--I don't know what to do," said Sherri Sharp.
Sharp lives at Palms at Prince Apartment complex.
"I'm 50 years old. This is all terrifying to me," said Sharp.
She's all packed but with nowhere to go.
"I just want them to save these families. I don't want to see these families go to the street. I don't want to see myself and my dogs to go to the street. I don't know what to do," said Sharp.
She claims she is trying to get the money but the new manager won't work with her.
Manager Michael Funkhouser said tenants had plenty of time to make their payments.
Those on the eviction list were given a month's notice requesting them out by Saturday.
"Nobody has come and given us rent, so we're doing what we have to do legally," said Funkhouser.
Funkhouser said between back rent and property damages, some tenants owe a lot.
"$1,400, $1,000, $925, $1,000, $2,000," he said. "Come Monday, our attorney will be filing the evictions in court and we will have a constable out here next month to remove them from the property."
Some tenants are moving out on their own.
"I'm one of the ones that ain't getting evicted. I feel that I have a right to pay the back money because I did live here, but it was kind of hard when there were so many different managers. There are no leases," said Angela Martinez.
Martinez said she just wants to get away from here.
"Just the people coming off the street, the drugs," she said.
She said the new management is trying to take care of that problem.
"I'm thankful that they found somebody that would do it," said Martinez.
As for Sharp, she's waiting for a check to arrive to pay rent.
She just hopes it's not too late.

Hey all you Beer Friends out there! Let's see what's happening beer wise in this great metropolis of ours throughout this upcoming week.
Monday, October 11 – Troeg's Tasting Event @ Amity Hall, Manhattan: Amity Hall is the place you go to when your nosing around Washington Square Park with your friends that are visiting the city and wanted to see Washington Square Park and then want beer. You know it's there, you might not head to an NYU neighborhood regularly, but today you know that you will not take your friends to a light beer bar on Bleecker, but you will take them to a good craft beer bar on West 3rd. If all this happens to be happening tonight, Monday, October 11, then you will be in for a treat: Troeg's Tasting Event. Troeg's is a fantastic brewery from outside of Philadelphia. So after your friends have taken their respective pictures in front of the newly aligned fountain in Washington Square, bring them to Amity Hall, head upstairs and drink Troeg's. They'll thank you for saving them from tourist dogma.
Tuesday, October 12 – I Love NY Beer Week: Captain Lawrence Night @ The Spring Lounge, Manhattan: The Spring Lounge is a great beer bar that borders the entrance to Little Italy, a.k.a. many New Yorkers Tourist Nightmare (seems to be a theme today actually). However, you are not in Little Italy, nobody is throwing pasta at you and I promise you only have to choose 3 different flavors of gelato if you want to. The Spring Lounge is spending the week appreciating New York Breweries, from all over the state, starting with Captain Lawrence out of Kingston, NY. Come on by and grab some Westchester Pale Ale, Brown Bird Brown and Liquid Gold. And if you want, you can head over to Little Italy and get some gelato on your way out. You can even choose 3 flavors for the same price. If you want to.

The fibers are made of larger light and medium grey strands mixed with smaller dark grey and medium grey strands. There are no black strands only dark grey. It does give a "pepper and salt" kind of look. Good neutral color. I have no problems vacuuming. It did have a strong chemical smell for about 1-2 weeks. The backing is rough and scratchy so I would recommend a rug pad if you have real wood floors. I almost sent it back because I was expecting an unbelievably soft and cozy (like a blanket) plush rug from the way the reviews were. But it just a soft plush carpet. It works. My kids and dogs love to lay on it.
I love this rug!! It is SO SOFT and plush. Perfect for our playroom floor. The kids love to lay on it and play puzzles or watch TV. It's super cozy. Given the low price I was worried that it might have a plastic smell or plastic backing, but it doesn't at all. It has a soft woven backing (which will help it hold up over time, and it won't damage our wood floors). And it doesn't smell or shed at all. And the color is gorgeous! A soft silver color. I highly, highly recommend this rug. I think it's the same rug they sell at costco sometimes at twice the price.
Just received this rug yesterday and love it. Edges look good, color is pretty and size is just as described (measures 7'8" x 9'8".) I would buy another one if we needed it, can't beat the price. We have it on hardwood floors and haven't noticed a sliding issue yet because the bottom is rough. There is a slight smell but I expect it to fade over time.
Love this rug...it is very thick and fluffy and feels nice on your feet...it does not shed and looks awesome!
I was ecstatic when I unrolled the rug. It was much thicker than I had hoped for. This was such a good deal with the recent 15% plus ten bucks off. It's one of those rugs we'd see on display in a store and wonder how people spent so much on a rug! The silver is bright and vibrant, but not obnoxious and there is lots of gray fibers thrown in to tone it down a bit. It feels so good to walk on and doesn't shed. To be clearer than Overstock's title, this is the California Shag rug from Safavieh Rugs. None of the online pics I've seen do it justice with regard to color, or even more thickness. Very pleased, and highly recommend this. This will be my go-to whenver I need a solid shag rug!
All three of us in the family have bought this very rug and very satisfied with it. The silver is more a grey with not that much shine to it (I wish it was shinier, but my husband was happy it was toned down and masculine)...The rug was damp-ish and SO smelly when I received it, but happy to announce that it is now dry, flattened-out from the creases and not as smelly! It just takes a few days.
I absolutely love this rug. At first I was worried because it looked like a pale bluish silver but once unrolled and fluffed the colors blended and it's perfect. Its fluffy and comfy under our feet; a nice improvement over the cold hard tile floors. And my dogs love it too! They take naps on it instead of their own beds.
Thicker than expected but quite nice. There is a slight smell but it seems to be going away fairly quickly. Looks nice in the apartment.
This rug is awesome. It is cozy just like the name. My kids love to lay on it. It is so soft. I recommend getting a pad for underneath. It is more of a salt and pepper color. Long shag makes for small items getting lost easily. Totally worth it. LOVE IT!
Although I love the look and feel of this rug (purchased for our family room), I am very displeased by the unpleasant odor. The rug was damp within the packaging. I am uncertain whether the odor is a must/mold or chemical smell. I had read other comments that stated that the rug has an odor.

Directive 2004/17/EC governs the rules, provisions, and procedures entailed in public procurement contracts awarded by EU Member States in the water, energy, transport, and postal services sectors. In the course of the eight-year (1996–2004) gestation period of an EC public procurement policy that would meet the challenges of a globalised economy, it became clear that these utilities required a legislative framework distinct from the general coordination of award procedures that finally emerged as Directive 2004/18/EC.
This book on the 'Utilities' Directive 2004/17/EC is a companion to an earlier volume on the legislative history of Directive 2004/18/EC. This new volume gathers in one place all the relevant documents that led to the adoption of the Utilities Directive. In great detail this legislative history reveals such crucial elements and outcomes as the following:
Introducing the book are excerpts that give a general picture of the reasons that led to the intention to replace the earlier procurement directive for the utilities sectors (93/38/EEC). Then follow excerpts that give an insight into the drafting of the recitals in the Preamble, the articles, and the annexes. The book concludes with a chronological overview of the legislative documents associated with Directive 2004/17/EC and a Keyword Index. Along with its companion volume on Directive 2004/18/EC, this important book will be a powerful resource for lawyers and policymakers engaged in the practice and development of European procurement law. It will also provide both practitioners and researchers working in the area of European procurement law with an incomparable desktop reference on the Utilities Directive.
Preface. General Explanation. Preamble: Recitals 1–60. Articles. Title I: General Provisions Applicable to Contract and Design Contests. 1. Basic Terms. Article 1, Paragraphs 1–13. 2. Definition of the Activities and Entities Covered. Articles 2–9. 3. General Principles. Article 10. Title II: Rules Applicable to Contracts. 1. General Provisions. Articles 11–15. 2. Thresholds and Exclusion Provisions. Articles 16–30. 3. Rules Applicable to Service Contracts. Articles 31–33. 4. Specific Rules Governing Specifications and Contract Documents. Articles 34–39. 5. Procedures. Article 40. 6. Rules on Publication and Transparency. Articles 41–50. 7. Conduct of the Procedure. Articles 51–59. Title III: Rules Governing Service Design Contests. Articles 60–66. Title IV: Statistical Obligations, Executory Powers and Final Provisions. Articles 67–75. Annexes I–XXVI. List of Legislative Documents in Chronological Order. Directives and Other Legislation Referred to in the Legislative History of Directive 2004/17/EC. List of Abbreviations. Index.

So a couple of friends were talking food one day...and out of that conversation came the Burrito Challenge.
So now Jeremy is going to eat Chipotle Burritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner as a way to raise money for a children's hospital in Minnesota.
It got me to thinking...if you were going to pick one food to eat 3 meals a day... What would you pick???
Yesterday I said something that offended a friend, which I feel really bad about. Today, upon hearing how I had upset her, I wrote her an apology letter.
It is very therapeutic to apologize, and something that I feel is part of the very fiber of who we are as Christians.
I thought that you could use this space to say I am Sorry for whoever you need to apologize to.

"Trashy Gizzard" has been organized by Ranger Jason for this Sunday, February 24th. Spring rains have washed a lot of trash into the Gizzard Gulf. Let team up to get some exercise and clean up our park at the same time. Being physically active starts with getting on your feet and moving. We know that exercise is good for us, but still more than 1 of 3 Americans is overweight. A recent study reports 8 out of 10 adults do not meet federal recommendations for at least 2½ hours of exercise each week. Kids should get at least 1 hour of physical activity a day. With our busy lives it can be hard to make time for exercise so we need to build it into our routines. Exercise can happen anywhere at any time.
When given the option, choose to walk, bike, or jog. Park in the back of the lot instead of driving around or waiting for the spot closest to the door. Do other small things like taking the stairs or walking your dog. While watching TV, how many leg-lifts, jumping jacks, pushups, or even sit-ups can you do during each 3 minute commercial break? Turn on the radio when cleaning the house and dance like you're 16 again! When you're at the park, walk around instead of sitting on the bleachers. Challenge yourself to walk briskly, moving your legs and pumping your arms. 10 minutes of jumping jacks can burn up to 100 calories. Several short 10-minute workouts throughout the day can be as effective as a trip to the gym.
Keep in mind there are many opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration too, especially right here near home. We have several parks in Grundy County including Savage Gulf, South Cumberland, Grundy Forest and Grundy Lakes. Stay motivated and keep it fun by involving family and friends. Keep an eye out for opportunities such as "Run for God," local 5K races, and other community groups and events you can join.
It's never too late to start getting healthy. No day is too short, or too busy to set aside a few minutes for our own health. The choice to be active and healthy today can lead to being healthy tomorrow.
So come out and join us on Sunday. Let's have a fun time together and make a difference in our park. We'll meet at 11:00 a.m. at the Grundy Forest parking lot. Gloves and bags will be provided; you'll need to wear sturdy footwear. Refreshments will be provided for all helpers and volunteers!

Clooney: Bullock's just a friend
9:49am Thursday 3rd October 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
George Clooney says he will never date his Gravity co-star Sandra Bullock.
The pair appeared together on the red carpet at their movie's New York City premiere.
Heartthrob George, 52, told E! News that the Oscar-winner, 49, was a friend of "more than 20 years".
Asked why they had never got together in the past, he said: "She was dating one of my best friends.
"There's a certain bro code, you know what I mean? I've known her a long, long time."
George said of The Blind Side star, who donned an asymetrical white minidress and black and white heels: "She looks beautiful, doesn't she?"
Asked what he wanted in a woman, the actor, who has split from wrestler Stacy Keibler and was recently reported to have reunited with ex-girlfriend and Croatian model Monika Jakisic, replied: "I don't know what qualities I would look for."
The pair play two astronauts stranded in space in the film directed by Alfonso Cuaron.

Issued at 249 AM CST THU DEC 5 2013 Surface cold front has pushed through the entire CWA and was located over the bootheel of Missouri early this morning. Temperatures were ranging from the mid 20s in west central Missouri...to the upper 40s over far south central Missouri. Upper level low was located over North Dakota into southern Alberta with a 135 to 150 kt jet streak pushing across the central Rockies into the northern and central Plains. 850 mb front was shifting into eastern Kansas early this morning and may see a bit of light freezing rain/drizzle or sleet during the remainder of the overnight hours north and west of the Interstate 44 corridor. Little or no measurable acccumulations is expected with this activity, however a very thin glaze of ice will be possible or a dusting of sleet if this can materialize. Main focus with this forecast package will be with wintry precipitation type initially today along with amounts. The precipitaton will continue into Friday when it will end from west to east. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday) Issued at 249 AM CST THU DEC 5 2013 Measurable precipitation will likely begin to develop towards the late morning into the early afternoon over the southwest corner of Missouri and should rapidly develop north and east throughout the afternoon. It appears that a mix of wintry precipitation with sleet/freezing rain and snow will be possible at the onset of precipitation mainly south and east of a Rolla to Branson line with snow north and west of this line. The changeover from mixed precipitation to snow will gradually shift to the southeast during the afternoon/evening as the warm nose of air aloft gradually weakens. The heaviest precipitation will occur along and south of the interstate 44 corridor with a sharp cutoff to the precipitation over our northwest CWA. Up to a quarter inch of ice will be possible south and east of a Gainesville to Eminence line, which will occur prior to the changeover to all snow during the day and evening. Further northwest, periods of moderate to heavy snow will be possible during the afternoon and early evening before gradually tapering off by the late evening. A second wave of energy will then begin to push into the area overnight into Friday which will bring all snow to the area. Again the predominant location for the precipitation will be south and east of the Interstate 44 corridor with the second wave of precipitation. We have increased the amount of snow forecast over southern Missouri into the 4 to 8 inch range and will likely extend the winter storm warning northward by a row of counties with this forecast package. The heaviest snowfall is expected in a band from Cassville to Ozark to Hartville. The snowfall will end from west to east during the day Friday. Temperatures today will range from the mid 20s to mid 30s with lows tonight from around 15 to 25 and highs on Friday struggling to get out of the mid 20s. .LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Wednesday) Issued at 249 AM CST THU DEC 5 2013 The bitterly cold will then move into the area Friday night with lows dipping into the single digits most locations and wind chill values below zero. Another upper level wave will bring a chance of snow to the area on Saturday night into Sunday which may bring another 1 to 3 inches of snow to the forecast area. The unseasonably cold air is expected to linger into the middle of next week with highs typically in the 20s and lows in the single digits to teens. Little or no additional precipitation is expected after the Sunday system pushes east. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday Morning) Issued at 509 AM CST THU DEC 5 2013 Current VFR conditions across the area will quickly change by late morning into early afternoon into IFR/MVFR during the remainder of the period with the onset of the wintry precipitation. The most significant impact will be at the BBG site where precipitation will likely begin as freezing rain and sleet before changing to all snow late in the afternoon. Snow will diminish...especially at SGF/JLN this evening before the next wave of snow moves into the area late tonight. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

The line was primarily used to transport goods along the Lower West Side (Meatpacking District), but with the advent of vehicles in the 1950s and more accessible routes on the west side, the last train ran in 1980. Thereafter, the elevated tracks fell into disrepair and the whole structure was nearly demolished. However, all was not lost, as some wise benefactors and brilliant city planners called the Friends of the High Line saved the tracks with the purpose of renovating the entire structure as a public park. Today, in its most recent incarnation, the park stretches from Gansevoort Street to the rail yards at 30th Street.

When armed conflict between bands of American colonists and British soldiers began in April 1775, the Americans were ostensibly fighting only for their rights as subjects of the British crown. By the following summer, with the Revolutionary War in full swing, the movement for independence from Britain had grown, and delegates of the Continental Congress were faced with a vote on the issue. In mid-June 1776, a five-man committee including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin was tasked with drafting a formal statement of the colonies' intentions. The Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence--written largely by Jefferson--in Philadelphia on July 4, a date now celebrated as the birth of American independence.

American Revolution
During the American Revolution, Great Britain's 13 American colonies rose up in insurrection and won their independence.
The Continental Congress
From 1774 to 1789, the Continental Congress served as the government of the 13 American colonies and later the United States.
Thomas Jefferson Drafts the Declaration of Independence
In 1776, Virginia planter and slave owner Thomas Jefferson wrote the foremost statement of human liberty and equality.
The U.S. Constitution
The U.S. Constitution established America's national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights to its citizens.
Did You Know?
Most Americans did not know Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence until the 1790s; before that, the document was seen as a collective effort by the entire Continental Congress.
Before the Declaration of Independence
Even after the initial battles in the Revolutionary War broke out, few colonists desired complete independence from Great Britain, and those who did--like John Adams-- were considered radical. Things changed over the course of the next year, however, as Britain attempted to crush the rebels with all the force of its great army. In his message to Parliament in October 1775, King George III railed against the rebellious colonies and ordered the enlargement of the royal army and navy. News of his words reached America in January 1776, strengthening the radicals' cause and leading many conservatives to abandon their hopes of reconciliation. That same month, the recent British immigrant Thomas Paine published "Common Sense," in which he argued that independence was a "natural right" and the only possible course for the colonies; the pamphlet sold more than 150,000 copies in its first few weeks in publication.
In March 1776, North Carolina's revolutionary convention became the first to vote in favor of independence; seven other colonies had followed suit by mid-May. On June 7, the Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies' independence before the Continental Congress when it met at the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee's resolution and called a recess for several weeks. Before departing, however, the delegates also appointed a five-man committee--including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Livingston of New York--to draft a formal statement justifying the break with Great Britain. That document would become known as the Declaration of Independence.
Jefferson Drafts the Declaration of the Indpendence
Jefferson had earned a reputation as an eloquent voice for the patriotic cause after his 1774 publication of "A Summary View of the Rights of British America," and he was given the task of producing a draft of what would become the Declaration of Independence. As he wrote in 1823, the other members of the committee "unanimously pressed on myself alone to undertake the draught [sic]. I consented; I drew it; but before I reported it to the committee I communicated it separately to Dr. Franklin and Mr. Adams requesting their corrections....I then wrote a fair copy, reported it to the committee, and from them, unaltered to the Congress."
As Jefferson drafted it, the Declaration of Independence was divided into five sections, including an introduction, a preamble, a body (divided into two sections) and a conclusion. In general terms, the introduction effectively stated that seeking independence from Britain had become "necessary" for the colonies. While the body of the document outlined a list of grievances against the British crown, the preamble includes its most famous passage: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
The Vote for Independence
The Continental Congress reconvened on July 1, and the following day 12 of the 13 colonies adopted Lee's resolution for independence. The process of consideration and revision of Jefferson's declaration (including Adams' and Franklin's corrections) continued on July 3 and into the late morning of July 4, during which Congress deleted and revised some one-fifth of its text. The delegates made no changes to that key preamble, however, and the basic document remained Jefferson's words. Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence later on July 4 (though most historians now accept that the document was not signed until August 2).
As the first formal statement by a nation's people asserting their right to choose their own government, the Declaration of Independence became a significant landmark in the history of democracy. In addition to its importance in the fate of the fledgling American nation, it also exerted a tremendous influence outside the United States, most memorably in France during the French Revolution. Together with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence can be counted as one of the three essential founding documents of the United States government.

Download Our Pipeline Safety Fact Sheet
Haz click aqui para leer nuestro boletin de seguridad.
REMINDER: Whenever a field service representative visits your home or business, they will provide Atlanta Gas Light identification. If you have further concerns, please contact customer care at 1-800-427-5463 to confirm that a representative has been scheduled to perform work at your premises.
At Atlanta Gas Light, we're continually improving our natural gas pipeline infrastructure. This system – with more than 55,000 miles of transmission and distribution pipelines in Georgia – brings safe, reliable and environmentally friendly natural gas to nearly 1.6 million customers throughout the state.
In addition to maintaining the safe condition of our pipelines through regular inspections, we use state-of-the-art technology to ensure the integrity of our system. Our Gas Control Operations Center in Atlanta, GA continuously monitors the flow of natural gas through our pipelines and any changes in operating conditions. Our gas controllers have the ability to adjust flows and operation pressures, and to shut off natural gas flowing in our transmission lines.
If You Smell Gas … Act Quickly A rotten egg odor is added to natural gas so that you can smell a leak if it occurs. The gas itself is actually odorless, but a substance called "mercaptan" is added as a precaution.
If you smell a natural gas odor: * Do not use any devices that might create a spark, such as light switches, phones, flashlights or electric appliances, including computers. A spark could ignite the gas.
* Immediately have everyone leave the house.
* Go to a nearby phone and call the Atlanta Gas Light hotline to report the odor.
* Keep everyone away from the building until given the "all clear" from a gas company employee.
Remember: Never try to find the leak yourself.
To report a gas leak, call 770-907-4231 if you are inside metro Atlanta. If you're outside the metro area, call toll-free at 1-877-427-4321.
Other Gas Safety Tips * Gas appliances should have proper air circulation at all times.
* A gas flame should burn bright blue. A yellow or orange flame could indicate improper combustion or venting.
* Keep flammable or combustible items away from gas appliances and equipment.
* Use gas equipment only for what it's designed to do. For example, you should never use a stove or range for heating.
* Buy only gas equipment that has the American Gas Association Blue Star seal of approval, which shows that the appliance meets safety standards.
* Always keep one or more fire extinguishers in your home.

Exhaust Heat Recovery System
In rural Alaska, there are about 200 villages, which have independent diesel power plants. Their power capacities range from tens of kW to multi-MW. In 2007, the total diesel electrical power usage of rural Alaskan villages was about 370,000 MW-h. According to literature, no villages have applied exhaust heat energy, which is about the same magnitude of the electrical energy consumed, for any useful applications. In order to find the villages, which are feasible for exhaust heat recovery applications, to improve their energy economy and reduce green house gas (GHG) production as soon as possible, a methodology which is reliable and inexpensive and can be easily used for preliminary identification of those villages is desirable. Due to the uniqueness of each village in power load, heating load, power system infrastructure, heating system infrastructure, technical personnel availability, labor cost, shipping cost, etc., the desired methodology needs to take all these factors into consideration. In addition, the exhaust heat recovery system design and analysis method, which is an inherit part of this application; need also be addressed in the methodology development.

Cougars make the state rankings
Oct. 25, 2011 — In a matter of a few short weeks of the season beginning, several Lassen College wrestlers made the state rankings when it was announced Wednesday, Oct. 5.
Freshman Jeff Lobos ranked eighth in the state in the 133-weight class for the Cougars.
Before dropping a weight class, sophomore Marcial Rodriguez ranked fourth at 157 pounds.
Dusty Vaughn, head coach for the Cougars, said with Rodriguez dropping to 149 pounds, he should be ranked third or fourth.
Freshman Josh Cutts rounds out the Cougars state rankings at fourth in the 184-weight class.
Vaughn said there are several other wrestlers worthy of honorable mentions on the team.
Freshmen Ricky Ugarte and Yasier Alvarez at 125 pounds, freshman Owen Craugh at 149 pounds and freshman Zarek Sanchez at 157 pounds all earned honorable mention for the state rankings.
Vaungh said Craugh will be dropping to 141 pounds this week and should be ranked in the top eight in the state.
He also said Sanchez has a 12-2 win over fifth-ranked Miguel Torres from Fresno City.
"All the athletes are on the radar and in position to make big moves (in upcoming competitions)," said Vaughn.
The Cougars had some injuries in the start of the season and Vaughn said the wrestlers have returned into the lineup for the team.
"A lot of movement in the lineup and a ton of development taking place," said Vaughn. "We are hitting the iron while it's hot, getting this team ready for the state championships (in the month of) December."
The young team had several battles with tough competition in the past two weekends.
The Cougars placed ninth at the Modesto Tournament, held Saturday, Oct. 8.
Vaughn said the team was a mere six points from a top-five finish at the tournament and it was a "very close point race."
Lobos placed third in the 133-weight class, Cutts earned fourth place in the 184-weight class and Thomas Marshall place third in the 197-weight class.
"The team wrestled well," said Vaughn. "The Modesto tournament is basically the equivalent to our state tournament minus three teams."
The North Regional Duals, held Saturday, Oct. 15, in Santa Rosa, Calif., found the Cougars competing against the top teams in the state including the number-one ranked and defending state champions Fresno City College.
Other teams in attendance were the third-ranked Sac City College, fourth-ranked Santa Ana College and eighth-ranked Sierra College.
The winner of the dual at North Regionals will compete for the Dual Teams State Championship.
The team was 2-2 in duals during the North Regionals.
In the first round, Lassen beat Skyline 30-21 after forfeiting two weight classes due to illness which resulted in 12 of the 21 points Skyline had resulting from forfeits.
In the second round, Lassen wrestled defending state champions Fresno City.
"The guys wrestled tough and fought hard in this dual," said Vaughn. "Every match was a close 2-4 point match.
Lobos, now ranked third in the state, wrestled number-one ranked Chris Padilla from Fresno City.
After having an early lead, Lobos lost the match 10-11.
Marshall, ranked fourth in the state, upset the third-ranked wrestler in the state from Fresno City, 8-2.
A.J. Estrada, wrestling at 174 pounds, was 3-1 on the day having a breakout tournament.
Vaughn said Estrada really showed great leadership qualities and wrestled very aggressively.
Vaughn said competing in duals is the most exciting thing about wrestling.
"You compete one-on-one against another team to see who is the best. The spotlight is all on the individual out on the mat. It is very exciting," said Vaughn.
The Cougars' first home competition is scheduled at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 26, against Shasta College.
