Healping My Parents Getting out of the Dial-Up Era
October 4, 2014
My parents call me and ask for my advice on things. It could be anything from there being a stray dog at their home to computer problems. Obviously, the computer issue is one of the most common. Lately, they have been having some issues with their internet speed not being as fast as it used to me. I asked them if they were in a high speed internet coverage area and of course they didn't know. They didn't even know that existed!
I went over to see if I could help them out. They were puzzled on how their old dial-up speed would be slow. They also had no idea that their internet provider offered different speeds at different prices. I explained to them that they should have different plans and it was probably the same price as what they are paying for a better speed.
When they called the company, they were amazed that they could get DSL speeds for the same price as dial-up. Then they handed me the phone since they didn't really know what that meant. I asked about their high speed coverage and it was in their area. Continue Reading
Why It is Worth Checking out Frontier
October 4, 2014
It is a weird time we are all living in right now, because it seems like every single part of society is changing in a rapid fashion. It really started with technology, where the world suddenly started to make huge changes overnight that sometimes make things obsolete in no time at all. Technology like this led to huge leaps in other areas like science and even politics, with a globally connected world where anything and everything is constantly updated. With Frontier internet availability though, most people will be lucky enough to stay connected and keep current with every single one of these updates.
That is really the advantage of the internet and the reason it is quickly becoming such a popular medium. Even while sitting in your living room and watching a football game or movie, the latest news or developments can be instantly delivered to your laptop or phone. Continue Reading
Just Got to the New House
October 3, 2014
Just got to the new house, but it is not as though things are ready for us to move in exactly here. All of this happened in a very rapid and disorganized way. We were sent here as an emergency plan, me and three other guys are temporarily sharing this rented house. My task for the day is to look for local internet deals and we are hoping that we shall be able to find something close to gigabit internet. I know these other guys and it is obvious that they are going to use a lot of internet. Both of them are super geeks who are all about the internet. They do all sorts of stuff and the two of them in one house is going to require a big pipe or else there will be real problems. Continue Reading
The Natural Evolution of Cultural Gaming
August 30, 2014
Looking back on time spent as a kid gamer who spent countless hours trying his very best to beat the original Mario Brothers, I find myself amazed by how far games have come in design, graphics and complexity of story while the growth of the community is nothing short of amazing. Throughout most of my childhood and even my teenage years, gaming was a hobby that was looked down upon by others my age. The entire culture has gone through a revolution of sorts and you can find anyone looking up the Real Racing 3 hack these days, not just the 'Nerds'.
I still look back on those years and wonder why there was such a hatred toward Nerds. What drove it? Games are something that humans are intuitively good at. Humans love a challenge. Continue Reading

Sonic Boom did, in fact hit, the top of the charts. Anyone with a lick of musical sense will tell you, however, that certainly doesn't always make a record good. The marketing steam engine Gene Simmons has created is a merchandising machine. The history of the band and legion of fans alone will also sell Kiss records– a lot of them. Kiss could record 60 minutes of farting sounds and sell a few million copies. Musically, lyrically and artistically, Anomaly blows Sonic Boom out of the water. There's no secret that it won't likely sell half as many copies. The charts don't always tell the true story. Some of the worst albums and songs of all time have reached No. 1. Remember Achy Breaky Heart? Simmons is a marketing genius. Anything he puts out, especially now, people will buy.

Music Review: Ace Frehley tops former Kiss bandmates with new release
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
Not to take anything away from the success of Kiss and the abilities of Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley to turn a mere circus act into a musical empire, original Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley's latest album, Anomaly, his first in 20 years, is making serious waves and may leave the new Kiss release, Sonic Boom, in its wake.
Despite Frehley's troubles with substance abuse, nobody has been able to take the fact that he's one of the hottest rock guitarists to ever live away from him. Critics have long since quipped that a completely-inebriated and high Ace Frehley can outplay a score of sober A-list players. Obviously, however, this record comes from a sober Frehley—the one who continues to influence a long list of musicians since he joined Wicked Lester, which became Kiss in 1973.
Aside from the smoking Les Paul and other onstage theatrics that marked him as Kiss' original Spaceman, Frehley's solo projects, musically, have carried more weight than anything Kiss ever released without him. Anomaly is certainly no exception, and follows trends that Frehley, himself, helped set.
Released last month, Anomaly is a 13-track collection of original tunes, except an edgy cover of Sweet's "Fox on the Run." With an all-star band, including Late Show with David Letterman drummer and long-time pal Anton Fig and Anthony Esposito (Lynch Mob), the record contains classic Frehley riffs and vocals hauntingly similar to Ace's 1978 solo album that spawned the hit "New York Groove."
Anomaly also champions Frehley's creative genius with snappy hooks and lyrics indicative of a true rocker in touch with the artist inside himself. The disc is also packaged in a three-dimensional case. Kiss fan or not, Anomaly is Ace Frehley at his best, and it begs the question how Simmons and company dared to carry on the Kiss name without him.

I bought a hard drive for my laptop C600 from a guy who had a C610 because his motherboard went out.
If you do in fact have your Windows XP product key but you're missing your XP CD, you could argue that, since you did actually purchase XP and you have a valid product key, downloading a Windows XP CD image from anywhere should be within your rights
The harddrive had WinXP pro on there along with a legit product key from dell. That hard drive has lost its life. I still have a copy of the key but no disk.
How can I go about using WinXP Pro. I believe he's not using the key because he upgraded to vista or 7 which ever.

On Saturday, the 6'3, 220-lb Lee visited one of the schools who has extended an offer, the Purdue Boilermakers, for their game against Penn State.
"The Purdue visit was pretty good since I've never been there before," he said.
The home team did not come out on top, but Lee says he still saw signs of the bright future in West Lafayette.
"Even though they lost, I can tell that the program is moving in the right direction, just missing little pieces."
It was also an opportunity for Lee to speak with the coaching staff at Purdue, and continue to build a relationship with them.
"I got to talk to my position coach, Coach Landholm and the defensive coordinator, Coach Tibesar. We just spoke casually and since I already have an offer, they spoke with me on how I could contribute to their defense and their team."
Lee currently has additional offers from Ball State, Indiana, Iowa and Kentucky. He also has interest from a host of additional schools including Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska and Notre Dame.
The Bears take on Indianapolis Pike this weekend.

Several years ago I read an article written by Jessica Mitford. In it, she attacks the funeral industry and their various insidious techniques used in the embalming of a body. Pretty gruesome stuff. An email I received tonight took me to the Blog of Death, an interesting website in and of itself. Death has always had a stygian hold on my psyche for many years so I found this website to be oddly interesting. Maybe I should be concerned…
Anyway, I wrote a piece after reading Mitford's article that explains my feeling on the subject of my own demise. I thought it was well thought out if anything. The only thing I really desire upon the beginning of my big dirt nap is the playing of "Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan at my funeral. Don't ask me why, I just do. Weird, I know. I've informed my wife that if my wish isn't fullfilled, I will turn the atmosphere around the house into Poltergeist to the 10th power. She doesn't like the sound of that very much (even if I am kidding, and I am)
The Sweetest Goodbye
Death is the real final frontier and the end of life as we know it, though what lies on the other side of that threshold is anybody's guess. The departure from this life remains shrouded in mystery while the question of how we are to travel there does not. We are faced with a choice as we stand before that threshold; a choice not to be made lightly, as Mitford so succinctly explains.
I have decided to enter into eternity with a minimal amount of baggage; no industrial strength chemicals I can't pronounce the names of will ever swim through these veins, voluntarily. I predict my duodenum will be a mere ashen memory upon my first step into the great beyond. To embalm the body is simply a matter of choice and after reading Mitford's essay the decision for me was as crystal clear as a virgin pane of glass. I have made those intentions known to the ones I love that I intend to be charbroiled to a crispy well done, no meat thermometer needed here, thank you very much.
Mitford's idea that the funeral industry may be concerned about public awareness of the embalming procedure is well founded and direct. Why would anyone want to have a trocar inserted into his or her abdominal cavity is incomprehensible to me. Just the idea of internal organs being sucked through a tube scrubbed my name from the embalmer's waiting list. She writes the word "molested" several times throughout the piece, a seemingly apt description of the entire embalming process. One can only hope (and pray) that the funeral director harbors no necrophilial tendencies, another proverbial open can of moist, squishy worms.
They say, life sucks and then you die. They should say, life sucks and then you die and God help you if you've taken that dark left turn down Dismemberment Boulevard. Judging from her graphic narrative, Mitford seems to be a definite candidate for cremation, given her somber yet droll description of the art of present day mummification. The inclusion of the line, "Il faut souffir pour etre belle", translated from French, "one must suffer to be beautiful" serves only to highlight her obvious mordant view of this age-old embalming tradition.
If embalming is in fact the road needed to travel to reach the pearly gates, I can only hope my final images are those of a can of gasoline and an open book of matches. Not only would I save the funeral director from an unnecessary and messy task but also might serve my family as a means for toasting up a few marshmallows, which to me seems like a much sweeter way of saying goodbye.

It was on Tremont Street in Boston that he approached me for the first time. He wore a tattered, soiled and sandy colored P-coat that reeked of street filth and body odor. To see him walking in your direction made you want to cross the street to the harbour of the other side but somehow he'd managed to corner me. His sunken jujube eyes stared at me wildly as he reached out his hand.
"Hey, mistah…got some spare—"
I waved him off before he could even finish the question, a learned response somehow turned involuntary from having lived in the city many years ago. The number of threadbare pariahs had risen in recent years as had their brazen 'come on, buddy' attitude towards the multitudes of customers that walk their territory on a daily basis. I thought little of the mundane encounter and went about my day. It wasn't until dusk, as I made my way down Columbus Avenue to the train station, that I unexpectedly experienced a repeat performance by the same man.
"Hey, mistah…can ya'—"
I was even quicker this time in waving him away but was overwhelmed by the fact that this was the same beggar that stopped me on Tremont Street less than five hours ago. Some emotional cog turned inside my brain awakening the latent Good Samaritan from my catholic upbringing. Thoughts of the denial of Jesus Christ during his Passion by Peter transformed into epiphanies that made me wonder if I hadn't just committed the same sin. I've never considered myself a devout Christian. So why was I questioning my actions now? I got on the train almost believing that I might have to share a seat with this man. What would I say when he turned to me asking a third time for the smallest crumbs of my apathetic compassion? As the train began moving through the darkness, I wondered how many times in the past had I stared blindly into the face of want. My soul felt bruised, I was ashamed. What if Christ himself had asked me for spare change? Would I wave him away too?

This is a piece I wrote several years ago but still seems to me to apply to the present day music industry.
I am still a musician at heart but venues to work in are drying up faster than a droplet of water in a bucket of dry sand.
It's an abysmal state of affairs these days musically and sadly we all saw it coming.
Some say business is cyclical. I wonder.
Hey, Paul McCartney played the halftime show Super Bowl Sunday, right?
Remembering Miss American Pie
The musicians of the 60's and 70's had a wealth of powerful and insightful compositions from which to draw their inspiration. The songs had shine and creative musical integrity that would forever set them apart from today's musical mainstream.
The music spoke of the dynamic of the human experience; from love found and lost to political innuendo shaking hands with world peace.
The older generation frowned upon these freedoms of expression and saw the music created as an irrevocable evil to be stamped out in the hopes of ending the reign of terror that floated over the airwaves.
From the shaking hips of Elvis to the Mop-Tops from England to the androgynous and enigmatic David Bowie, the music written back then made us think and connect; it gave us an up close and personal view of the broken heart.
So what the hell happened to perceptive content?
Music, in its purest form is therapy, a most fundamental discipline of meditation the human race has, but along the way we altered the magic formula, ultimately changing its destiny as well.
It's supposed to make you feel good.
Just think of a song that truly means something to you, take out a piece of paper, and jot down five things that come to mind immediately.
Chances are you can come up with more than ten.
That's the miracle of music; when something unexpected touches the heart.
Much of what I hear today is tainted, biased and so musically inept that when I hear one of these prized gems, I can only wildly shake my head and slobber saliva like an angry PBR bull (which tends to make loved ones around me very uncomfortable).
A rule of thumb for future songwriters regarding lyrics: if it rhymes with shucking but has nothing to do with corn, get out a thesaurus and find another word.
The English language is chock full of them. Really.
It seems that few people write real songs anymore; that is a simple and yet sobering fact, not a generality. If it weren't for artists like John Mayer and Dave Matthews, I'd have lost my mind by now.
Much of the music today is like bad poetry, arranged, set to a groove from the late eighties, and thrown into a 4,000 track, all digital recorder (yes, all the tracks must be used, read the contract).
Recently, while listening to a song on a brand X radio station out of Boston—the exact frequency slips my mind…you're welcome—I remember thinking to myself, what language is this guy speaking?
I strained to hear anything remotely intelligible.
Musically speaking, the song was as mundane and pedestrian as an arrangement that oozes from a generic portable keyboard purchased at Wal-Mart.
I also thought that somewhere in the midst of this urban cacophony, I could hear the sound of a dog being run over and over, and over again… I'm not positive about that and maybe it's just me. Somebody call the ASPCA.
The inspiration for this article came to me as I ambled down Main Street a few weeks ago (us old guys don't walk, we amble…it's much hipper) when a pulsating sub-compact Toyota Celica loaded with what sounded like two, maybe three 18-inch subwoofers drove past me towards City Hall, emitting music so thunderous it almost knocked down the lady walking next to me.
Initially, I thought it was just wind.
I didn't get the license plate number because I was too busy bending over to retrieve my own two eyeballs off the sidewalk.
Sound pressure levels that can cause buildings to vibrate precariously…hmm, I wondered if the Slater Building was up to code on that one.
Nope, we are definitely not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
Then there's the whole debacle surrounding present day artists hiding behind the 5th amendment, and we all can see what a gush of rotting sewage that is, but it doesn't mean we have to buy a bucketful of it.
When a major proportion of the music available has a "parental advisory" sticker slapped on it, what's left for those of us who prefer substance in what we listen to?
Maybe we need a special store that caters to people fed up with listening to music and lyrics that insult our intelligence with the glorification of worthless profanity while wasting our hard earned money on garbage that someone in the recording industry somehow deemed fit for human consumption. Bon appétit.
Maybe I'm not meant to understand what all the hype and excitement in the industry is about these days, because I'm no longer a child.
But there's always that outside chance that as I struggle with my own foreseeable mid-life crisis, I'll pleasantly discover that perhaps I've grown a little bit wiser in the process.
Just watch the Grammy Awards this year for a taste of the ultimate in garishness.
In the end, the music we choose to listen to and support should remain solely in the hands of the listener, but the overall message that it brings should be more of a boon to society as opposed to an outrage against the machine.
Comedian George Carlin hit the proverbial nail on the head when he stated that, "…inside every silver lining, there's a dark cloud."
Get out your umbrellas, kids; it looks like rain.

The ups and downs of warMarch 13,2014As the American Civil War progressed, the problem of finding competent leaders for the Union Army took some odd turns. In peacetime, seniority often prevailed but, as it turned out, sometimes seniority didnt necessarily mean combat competence. So, as the war progressed, age became less important than other abilities.
A century and a half ago this year, Philip Sheridan was put in charge of Union forces in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, with orders to clear out the Confederates and keep the valleys drops from being used to feed the rebels.
One of the generals serving under Sheridan in the valley had graduated from the military academy at West Point in 1831 and that was the year Sheridan was born.
Another figure with an unusual career during the war was Joseph Hooker, who carried the nickname Fighting Joe. Wounded in the Battle of Antietam, where he commanded a corps, he became commander of the Army of the Potomac until after his withdrawal of Union forces after the Battle of Chancellorsville, when Stonewall Jacksons flank attack crumpled up one wing of his army.
Not long after that, U.S. Grant was trying to relieve the siege of Chattanooga in Tennessee, and Hooker was dispatched by train with a group from the Army of the Potomac.
He was in charge of the fighting at Lookout Mountain (the so-called Battle Above the Clouds) and that was not only successful, but performed relatively independently of Grant and Sherman, who were concentrating elsewhere.
When Sherman began his campaign through Georgia to take Atlanta, Hooker commanded a corps in the Army of the Tennessee, whose commanding general was J.B. McPherson. As the former commander of the whole Army of the Potomac, it must have given Hooker an odd feeling to be serving under a commander who was 14 years younger and 15 years behind him at West Point.
There were some personality differences as well. In the various actions during the drive toward Atlanta, Hooker had a tendency to boast about his part in such actions. That didnt sit well with Sherman, who didnt approve of such things and at one point, told Hooker as much. An observer at the time said that make Hooker go into a tremendous sulk.
Finally, the Union forces reached Atlanta and surrounded it. At that point, McPherson was killed by a Confederate sniper. As the senior general under McPherson, Hooker seems to have expected that he would be given command of the Army McPherson had been in charge of. But, instead, after consulting with some of the other leaders, Sherman appointed O.O. Howard to that position.
Hooker was not only annoyed at being overlooked. He was particularly upset that Howard got the job, because Howard had been in charge of the wing that Jackson had crumpled in the Battle of Chancellorsville, leading to Hookers retreat. At least, Hooker blamed Howard for that particular incident, though not everyone agreed.
In any event, Hooker asked to be relieved of duty, which Sherman seems to have granted with a certain amount of relief. Hooker spent the rest of the war in non-combat duty, and after retirement from the Army, lived as a civilian on Long Island until his death in 1879. His career is a good illustration of the ups and downs that sometimes took place in military life during the Civil War.

December 27th, 2013
Once a week I do a horribly tiresome job. I dole out the 30+ pills I take each day of the week into a compartmentalized plastic tray — morning, noon. evening, and bedtime. It takes only about 38 & 1/2 minutes, but it seems much longer. Some pills are more difficult than others — cholecalciferol (don't know what it's for, only that's it's small and slippery, causing droppage either on the floor or, worse, in the wrong department of the tray, which makes it difficult to retrieve and place properly), gabapentin (a HUGE pill I take three times a day to combat phantom pain), and prasugrel (a blood thinner, which I wish I didn't have to take because thin blood means they can't operate on me. I desperately would like my left knee replaced).
At the outset of each weekly session I have the annoying sensation that I just did this job a few minutes before. This truly messes with my sense of aging because the six days, 23 hours, and 21 & 1/2 minutes of actual living that takes place between the tasks slips my mind entirely. I experience only a dull, repetitive hell wherein plays a horrifying mantra from my Christian Science upbringing, "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter." Christian Scientists profess to be ennobled and love-charged by such a negation of material pleasures. Well fuck them. That clump of words can only bring a sane person down.
So 7 times 4 equals 28 little plastic doors that must snap shut to avoid a massive pill spill. One of those doors, Thursday Bedtime, is faulty. The snap will not hold, so I place a rubber band around the door at its center and hope the five pills behind that door stay in place. And Sunday Noon holds too solidly. The little ledge that gives your fingernail a point of access has broken off so it takes effort and lock picking expertise to open it up. You didn't ask for all this detail, I know. It just comes with your Bullseye Rooster subscription.
The entire kit occupies a place beside my bed — on a small, custom built table. I will explain the table to any fan of Per Madsen, the furniture maker responsible. He is a genius, and it's only too sad that there aren't more small table fans. The space also holds my earplugs, but they're not custom. I had a large cup of water crowding the space, but a friend brought a good-sized dog into my room one evening. The dog started drinking the water and knocked the cup over. It happened on a Friday, so there were five days of pills. Some got wet, some didn't. They all required inspection, though. I know germaphobes who wouldn't touch a pill that had been possibly splashed by a dog's tongue. The following night, though, I noticed that one of my earplugs was wet. I looked into the mirror and saw my ugh-freaky face contortion. Why would a micro-drop of dog saliva make me do that? And why, since we're calling on the crime lab, would there not have been noticeable saliva the night before? These are the things that make me wish I had a woman in bed with me at all times.
I learned to dissect my ambien and oxycodone pills into small pieces (half, quarter, or an eighth of a tablet). I do this in order both to take microdoses when necessary, and when, if the pill creates a high, I want a good feeling to last a bit longer. I checked with a friend who uses these pills. She does the same thing. Also pills which, at first, taste wretched, taste better when you know a good feeling follows — either a high or the relief of pain.
My word count just passed 625 — 5/8ths of the word count I planned to use up tonight. With that I must sign off in order to do my 375 word midnight mantra.
One Response to "Pills."

Life is messy and yours sounds messier than mine, but it's life. I especially related to this part:
"At the outset of each weekly session I have the annoying sensation that I just did this job a few minutes before. This truly messes with my sense of aging because the six days, 23 hours, and 21 & 1/2 minutes of actual living that takes place between the tasks slips my mind entirely."
I think the bliss of childhood and time stretching to infinity is that we have nothing we need to do regularly to break up the vast reaches of time. I know for me every month, paying bills, every year paying taxes, seems to come more quickly. My pill-taking regimen is nothing compared with yours, but there it is. Again.

... in 3 months we have eaten genuine beef) Kels and I sit here, darkness outside the windows and cabin lights off, thinking over how special the last 12 weeks have been and how perfect it was to round it off in Bali. With very little negative to report, it's no surprise we sit here with beaming smiles at 23:07 backtracking over some of THE funniest times of our lives, having met some fantastic people, certainly providing good memories with great photos for us ...
It's probably a nice place but I'm in a sour mood
... I caught a ferry back to Bali in the afternoon, and then a van over to Kuta. Passing the coastline on the way to Kuta, I was struck again by the beauty of Balinese culture. Especially striking for me is the kite flying. I looked out the window as we passed children running with kites, three people squeezed on a moped with their hands in the air holding a kite (likely on the way to a windy spots where these large kites would fly), and even a pickup truck carrying a family in the ...

He was off to a promising start, dropping Werdum twice in the first round, but a perfectly timed leaping knee caught Hunt flush on the jaw and it was all over from there. Watch the video highlights.
This is truly spine tingling stuff.

The Vegucation of Robin: How Real Food Saved My Life, Robin Quivers
After privately battling endometrial cancer last year, the radio host and longtime sidekick of Howard Stern says she is today cancer-free, thanks in part to a vegan diet. She shares how she overcame food addiction and a history of poor health before changing her diet (and life!) for the better.

Jan 4, 2013I'll admit, I didn't think much of this game at first because I'm not a big fan of retro visuals. It was offered as a free game on GOG.com, so I supposed it wouldn't hurt if I gave it a try. I was really surprised at how tight this game is. The visuals are very good, and the soundtrack is superb. Characters actually have their own identity, something that is usually missing in games like this. Dynamic environments, platforming elements, and story development are weaved together pretty well. To be honest, I actually prefer this game over Cave Story. If you're looking for a pleasant surprise, I highly recommend this game.… Expand
Jan 2, 2014This game is one of my favorite games I played recently. I found it while searching for some interesting Indie-Games, thought "Hmm, maybe I could try this out, does not look too bad." and was impressed. You play a little boy, who was on a treasure hunt with your father and his friend once. Something went terribly wrong and as the game starts you are grown up with a hook as a surrogate hand. If I had to I would call this an Open-World adventure rpg action platformer This game is the perfect middle of almost everything. Graphics are good for an indie game in retro style, but although quite simple. The puzzles and bosses are not easy, but never let you down with desperating "I will never get this." thoughts. The games humor really takes my fancy, although it quite ruined the ending, but it rarely prevails over the story. The world is a relatively big open world made of some islands with a new clever travel system. You can completely choose what you want to do next plus there are several white cloverleafs to collect to gain rewards.
You also have to consider that this is a game made by a single hobby developer, who created this game being better than some of the "big releases" in the matter of story and gameplay.… Expand
Apr 16, 2012Do you really think you must pay to have a good time with a game? Nope, and there are many freeware games out there that confirm this. One of these games is treasure adventure game. The plot revolves around a young boy who is left on the doorstep of an elderly couple. They raise him and when he is old enough he leaves to begin his own adventure to find wonders and treasures. I wont say anything else story wise as it very interesting and deeper than it seems. The game world has the form of fragmented islands to whom you travel between in a sailing boat. Each island has its own climate with its respected visual representation and holds its own levels, small or big. The levels themselves are well designed and never get repetitive. You will never see a level that looks like another one beyond the shared gameplay mechanics. Its a treat to explore them and you will find yourself anxious for the next level. On the various levels you will also find the items of the game. Speaking of items, the game is mostly centered around them. You necessarily need all of the items if you are to overcome some obstacles aggression or puzzle wise. Yes puzzles. Î… Expand

Do high school seniors understand fully the risk-reward system associated with signing up for advanced placement classes? A search online will show that nearly 50 percent of students do not earn the 3, 4, or 5 on the exam to be able to earn college credit.
Also, if you plan on going to a division one school, 4's and 5's will probably be the only acceptable scores they will give you credit for. Read More»
On behalf of the history teachers of the Coweta-Fayette County area, we are most thankful to the men and women of the Dixie Wing Commemorative Air Force for hosting WW II Heritage Days at Falcon Field.
The planes, vehicles, WW II re-enactors, displays, and the entire atmosphere was a fantastic hands-on history experience that goes far beyond what a student would ever encounter in a classroom.
Above and beyond that were the WW II veterans that were able to share first-hand experiences with the public. I particularly enjoyed speaking with Mr. Ron Mooney, a Pearl Harbor survivor. Read More»
"Guten Tag, Mutti," writes Mary, from her post as our Correspondent in Europe. It seems there was a mix-up in schedules, and she made a whirlwind tour that covered southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland earlier this year.
Mary is not effusive. I may go on for 10 minutes about something I enjoyed, and from her I get a bemused "Umm." Not to suggest she wasn't paying attention. Au contraire, she can flash up that conversation years later, and is rarely wrong about details. Read More»
It started with a challenge. For several years, I had been promising the members of the worship ministry of our church that we would get them newer vestments. Vestments are the "uniforms" that people in certain ministries of the church wear during worship services. In some churches, the choir members wear robes and perhaps a stole. In our church they wear a black cassock and white cotta. In any event, the old vestments were both worn out and too hot for the Georgia summers. Read More»
My sister, brothers, and I spent seven adventurous years at 110 Flamingo Street. During that time we enjoyed a neighborhood full of friends to play with except Down the Street Bully Brad. Unless you consider running for your life a game, Brad never played with us. Then again, we never really asked if he wanted to. Now looking back, maybe that's why he was so bad. Read More»
(This is an abbreviated version of a recent speech I delivered to a group of young women.)
There is controversy in mental health over the necessity of both a mother and father in a family. Can kids grow up just fine without one or the other? This has me thinking. Maybe fathers provide something unique that it is much harder for mothers to do with their daughters. This is how a dad sees his daughter. Read More»
This year marks the 150th anniversary of America's Civil War, and the occasion is raising the perennial argument over whether that war was about slavery or state's rights. While the history and politics of slavery in America would fill a long bookshelf, the debate is an occasion to look past the simplicity of pop history to a few highlights that illuminate some warts and wrinkles in our country's beginnings.

The RINO (reverend in name only) Terry Jones is like his fellow RINO, Fred Phelps, but in political drag.

Coast Guard rescues 2 from overturned boatAugust 9, 2014 @ 8:40 pm
ILWACO, Wash. (AP) -- The U.S. Coast Guard says it rescued two people Saturday afternoon from an overturned boat in the Ilwaco Channel in southwest Washington.
The crew pulled out the two people, whose ages were not available, shortly after Coast Guard Sector Columbia River in Warrenton, Oregon, received a call for help at 4:45 p.m.
A crew from Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment rescued the boaters, who were then taken to a medical facility. The Coast Guard says that the boaters showed signs of possible hypothermia.
The Coast Guard reminds boaters that water temperatures around the Pacific Northwest remain much colder than temperatures on land.
The 16-foot aluminum boat sank.
