On Monday, acting IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel issued his report, Charting a Path Forward at the IRS: Initial Assessment and Plan of Action, on the plans to reform the IRS to avoid inappropriate targeting of taxpayers applying for Sec. 501(c)(4) social welfare organization status.
In the first section of the report, the IRS explained that its actions were two-pronged: first, it was identifying the individuals in the IRS responsible for the mismanagement outlined in the TIGTA report ("Inappropriate Criteria Were Used to Identify Tax-Exempt Applications for Review," TIGTA Rep't No. 2013-10-053), and, second, it was reexamining the evidence in the TIGTA report to determine if there was more wrongdoing or inappropriate conduct beyond that which TIGTA identified. One of the actions taken in response to the problems identified in the TIGTA report was removing five individuals from their leadership positions within the IRS.
As for fixing the problems with the review of tax-exemption applications, the IRS has:
The report also noted that, although the confusion about the requirements to be a Sec. 501(c)(4) organization did not in itself cause the inappropriate targeting, it did play a role in some of the lengthy delays in issuing tax-exempt status determinations. It also reviewed the nine recommendations in the TIGTA report and detailed its progress in responding to each one.
The final section of the report reiterated the IRS's commitment to fixing the problems identified in the TIGTA report and explained that similar problems may exist in other IRS areas. To that end, the report stated that it would conduct a thorough review and vetting of the organizational failures that resulted in the problems identified in the TIGTA report, assess whether similar issues exist in other IRS business units, and then issue a series of reforms to address each finding.
Werfel, whose formal IRS title is now principal deputy commissioner, was appointed acting head of the Service on May 16, following the resignation of acting commissioner Steven Miller, who stepped down in the wake of the TIGTA report.

Strategy & Consultancy Jobs in South Africa
There is really no way in which you can apply for a consultancy job unless you are an expert in that field, because that is what clients expect to get from you: expert advice. A consultant has an entrepreneurial spirit, is a strong networker, and has a good knowledge of his/her market. If an employer decides to employ someone for such a position its because they fit this kind of profile. They will also normally come highly recommended by others due to networking. Experience therefore is key. Clients need to be able to trust to give them the right advice, always. When you give advice it should always be backed by a great amount of research.

How the Teacher Unions Are Destroying American Education
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2003 12:15 p.m.
Peter Brimelow is a prolific, thought-provoking, and controversial journalist and author. His latest book and the subject of his luncheon talk at Claremont McKenna College is The Worm in the Apple: How the Teacher Unions Are Destroying American Education (HarperCollins 2003)). In his talk, Brimelow will argue that no educational reforms, however worthy, can ever work unless a solution is found to a central problem in the system: the teacher unions. Considering them as a political force, he equates modern teacher unions with the monopolies and trusts that dominated headlines a century ago. Both teachers and students, he maintains, need to be rescued from the grip of an outdated, overgrown bureaucracy. Brimelow is a CBS Market Watch columnist and former senior editor at Forbes magazine and National Review. He is currently an editor of the internet journal VDARE, whose entries focus on immigration and ethnicity. He also serves as President of the Center for American Unity.
Brimelow is also author of The Wall Street Gurus: How You Can Profit from Investment Newsletters (1988), The Patriot Game: Canada and the Canadian Question Revisited (1986), and Alien Nation: Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster (1995), the work for which he is best-known. Brimelow was born in England, in 1947, and educated at Sussex and Stanford Universities. He is now an American citizen. His Athenaeurn lecture is sponsored by the Salvatori Center at CMC.

Under the North American Numbering Plan, telephone numbers in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean are structured as a three digit area code, a three digit prefix or code and a four digit line number. Any device requiring interconnection to the public switched telephone network requires an area code, prefix and line number. Devices requiring interconnection are not limited to telephones but include cars equipped with Onstar, ATM's, burglar alarms and many other systems that would not be considered a telephone.
An area code is a three-digit number assigned to a geographical area in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, used before a seven-digit telephone number when placing a call to, and sometimes from within, that area. As of October 2012 there are 31 area codes assigned to California. New area codes are introduced when there are no more three digit prefixes available for assignment.
Area codes are introduced in the form of a geographic split or an overlay. New area codes introduced in California in the past 5 years are as follows:
323 Area Code
415 Area Code
408 Area Code
760 Area Code
818 Area Code
310 Area Code

Avondale, Ariz. (November 11, 2013) – Trevor Bayne and the No.6 WFG Ford Mustang team finished seventh in Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race at Phoenix International Raceway's (PIR) ServiceMaster 200.
"I was just too tight all day, going to the gas and it was bogging it down, so people could get under me off of turn one especially – down the short chute there they would beat me," said Bayne. "In three and four our car was really good. I felt like we were as strong as anybody, but we were just too tight for those short runs and that hurt us in the end. I didn't need them to keep getting short runs and keep those new tires so they were able to get by me a little bit there. But the first takeoff when I was on the outside of the 31 he got me down in turn three and then I crossed him over and got back to the lead, and I was like, 'Man, we're going to be leading this thing by turn one,' and the caution came out. That's what we didn't need, but that's OK."
With $250,000 dollars on the line for a lucky winner if Bayne visited Victory Lane in his World Financial Group Ford, the team was feeling a little bit of extra pressure for a solid finish Saturday.
At the drop of the green flag the No.6 WFG Ford Mustang quickly began moving to the front of the pack. After a few early cautions, Bayne found himself running at the front of the field until lap 80 when Mike Kelley called his driver down pit road for his first stop of the day. Two rounds in the right rear along with four tires and two cans of fuel was the call. Bayne blended back into the field in 13th.
On lap 105, Bayne once again came down pit road, a track bar adjustment for a tight car was the call. He held his track position of 13th and had moved up to ninth-place by the time the next caution flew at lap 130.
Multiple cautions flew, with Bayne radioing in that his car was still just too tight. Unfortunately the team could never make it back to pit road to adjust on the ill-handling Mustang. Bayne still managed to work his way up through the field to reach the checkers in seventh, moving up to sixth in the NNS Championship standings.

Dr. Afshin Bahador's Ratings
Dr. Bahador is a terrific doctor. I had a complete hysterectomy on April 8th 2014. Pain meds were given in the hospital and I had a 6 day stay was suppose to be 7 but was well enough to leave a tad early. No pain meds after I got home were needed. I give his office staff a very low score due to the fact that nobody returns important phone call post op. I have ovarian cancer stage 1c and need chemo so return calls are a must. I am sure the staff is very busy and over worked but I find leaving messages upon messages that go unanswered unacceptable in this age. I could run the office much better being on chemo then how it is run by healthy women. I do love this Dr. as he did such a wonderful job treating me so if you need to be seen by one of the best just try and push through the office staff so you have the best care.

Never had the chance to meet with this Dr as I was never given an appt by his front office staff. It's been over a month since first contact. She was pleasant during initial contact but all contact after that was rude and 'too busy' attitude. Odd to have someone like this running a busy oncologist office, where the patients are stressed and need a little more TLC. I have chosen another surgeon for this very reason. This Dr came recommended by another well known surgeon in the La Jolla area

I love this Dr!!! Dr Bahador is caring and compassionate. He spent a lot of time with me and patiently answered my many many questions. Others say he is great...well he has a wonderful bedside manner too! I gave the office staff a 4 only because Margie saved them. Margi is the best!!! She is always smiling and ready to help. The rest of the front office seems busy and not nearly as caring.

Best surgeon. Best holistic care. Best judgment in and outside OR. Even ordered to switch my room to the sunshine side for faster healing. In hospital for 5 weeks now. Earned my complete trust. Bordering on genius.

Dr Bahador HAS to be the best in his specialty. I had a laparoscopic/robot assisted hysterectomy + insertion of the Y Mesh for cervix prolapse on Jun 4 2013. Came home on the 5th. Never lost a drop of blood, never took a pain pill after leaving the hospital. He is careful and detail oriented. His bedside manners are perfect. He has the most caring staff and makes the patient feel like she is the only one he has.

I was referred to Dr Bahador by my GYN @ SRS-La Mesa, to see if I was a candidate for laporapscopic repair of a prolapse via robotic surgery. Although the surgery ended up requiring so much more, as well as operation hours, Dr Bahador remained kind, courteous and professional every time he spoke with me. I am now 1 week post-op, and feeling pretty damn good. Thanks so much to Dr Bahador!

Memorable guests at the State of the Union
Beginning in the Reagan years, regular citizens or prominent figures who exemplified a point or a program the president was referring to in his address were invited to sit with the first lady. Here are some memorable guests:

It seems our family's recent experience with the flu supports the vitamin D theory. My son came down with the flu last week. He was sick for six days with a fever. It was the first time he had been seriously sick in almost two years. He must have caught it in his preschool class because some of his classmates were sick at the same time. After six days of fever and him getting very, very sick, I started to do research on vitamins and that is when I stumbled on the vitamin D theory. I woke Alex up in the middle of the night to give him a drink with a drop of the vitamin D. Perhaps it is coincidence the next day he woke up almost better, and the next day completely better after a second dose. For many reasons having to do with food intolerances he had developed, I had stopped giving him his multivitamin or his rice milk which is fortified with vitamin D about a month ago. The next day, I resumed his Multistart vitamin which contains 400IU, which is the suggested daily allowance for his age group. Last year, one member of our family with low vitamin D levels was constantly sick...a year later they are not sick at all--and they managed to avoid the flu this year despite no flu shot and close contact with my son.
I hadn't come down with the flu but I was feeling like I might so I took 2,000 IU (which is two drops) hoping to fight it off. We will never know if it is the Vitamin D or the Diet Pepsi a dear friend of mine gave me when I was feeling almost fluish that prevented my from getting it. There are a thousand other reasons I might not have gotten it. And there are equal number or reasons I should have gotten it (sharing a bed with my son when he was sick, lack of sleep from too many late nights etc.) But isn't it interesting that the very young and the very old are most suseptible to getting the flu--and they are the ones least likely to be exposed to the sun during cold whether.
WHAT TO DO: Make sure your kids are getting the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended daily allowance of vitamin D of 400 IU. of D3 which is found in quality multivitamins, Vitamin D drops or cod liver oil. Also, people with fat malabsorption syndromes, like celiac, can sometimes poorly absorb vitamin D because it is a fat soluble vitamin. If you have celiac or if you are constantly sick, you might want to check vitamin D levels before beginning supplementation so that you can make sure the recommended daily allowance is enough. Of course, if you take a vacation to a sunny place, you won't need the extra vitamin D. If the

Spartan did what it had to doOctober 02,2013My Sept. 11 Newsgathering and Writing class lesson was to be about social media and the Internet and how it has changed the landscape of newspaper reporting.
I was going to talk about how now, with our newspaper websites and Facebook and Twitter, we can get news out as its unfolding, unlike the days of old when readers had to wait a day later for the print version on the front steps.
I was going to use the text example of how Facebook is a great way to publicize stories on your papers website and how Twitter is a vital, play-by-play tool to report court cases when cameras arent allowed in.
But a press release from the Vermont State Police changed that lesson. When students came in to the 9 a.m. class, I had the Spartan Twitter page and Facebook page on the overhead projector, both announcing that two CSC football stars had been charged with stealing sporting goods from Dicks, where one worked.
Then I showed them the Spartan website, where a short story about the arrests had been posted. From about 8 to 8:45 a.m. that morning, the two Spartan editors wrote, set up interviews, tweeted and posted on Facebook. They tweeted and updated the story for hours, finally calling it a day around 9 p.m.
The Spartan is a club, mind you. Yes, some students get independent course credits to work on it, but its still a club.
The Spartan had the story before almost every area news outlet and by the end of the day the Associated Press had it and people were reading about it in Miami, California and North Carolina.
But almost as soon as the stories and tweets were posted about this news story, the comments started flooding in, many negative, but some defending the editors.
Some commented on how its the role of the Spartan to make the college look good. One frequent tweeter throughout the day even started name-calling (#nerds) and saying it was nobodys business and that the Spartan should stop publishing and updating about the arrests. Those bothered me.
Spartan reporters arent nerds, in my opinion, nor is it their job to make the college look good. I would argue that most issues do make the college look good, with stories about triumphs and awards and profiles about outstanding students and faculty.
I was torn by this story. Students in my Newsgathering class may have seen me as excited about the story. I was more sick about it for the school and the football program and nervous that the Spartan editors, whom I advise, would be ultra careful and accurate with everything they did. My name is in the staff box, too.
I could see in the faces of my colleagues, who had taught one of the two players, how distraught they were. Students who are good friends with the players werent happy about the story, either. I didnt like that the Spartan had to write these stories. But the Spartan DID have to write these stories.
Journalism students at Castleton State need to learn that when a story like this breaks, it simply has to be reported. Do the stories have the potential of putting the school in a bad light? Yes. Do the journalists relish that? No. But they must ask the questions and write the facts as they are presented and give the accused a chance to have their say, too.
Social media played a huge role in the dissemination of the news and the resulting comment fallout on Sept. 11, 2013. I hope the majority of the college community realizes that the messenger in this case was doing what it had to do.

CONCORD, N.C. – The WKA RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup Series is back in action this weekend at Michiana Raceway Park after a two-plus-month layoff.
The Baker Racing Engines Nationals marks the second consecutive WKA national at MRP after last weekend's record Manufacturers Cup turnout for the MKP Nationals.
This weekend's Gold Cup event is the fifth consecutive weekend a national-caliber karting event has been held at Michiana, a stretch that's included the Great Lakes and Route 66 sprint series, Rotax "Shootout" and the Man Cup.
It's the first time the Gold Cup has raced MRP since 2003 and only the third time the circuit has visited Michiana in its history. Only a handful of current series regulars were in attendance in '03 some nine years, and while several 4-cycle teams have tested at MRP over the last few weeks, the track will pose a brand-new challenge for most Gold Cup teams once practice opens Friday morning.
Racing will kick off Friday night with another round of the touted Animal Heavy Money Race, which features 75 percent payback from entry fees and special product awards. Coyote racer Sean Meier won the Money Race at Jacksonville while MGM's Chris Wells took home the cash at Barnesville in April.
A special free barbecue will be held Friday evening during the Money Race for fans and teams to enjoy while watching the action. The barbecue, a tradition a WKA events at MRP, is made possible by recently inducted WKA Hall of Fame member Norm DeBoever and his Target Distributing company.
Saturday and Sunday boast national racing for the series 30-plus classes, including 4-cycle Animal, LO206 Kid Kart, Box Stock Clone and X-30 TaG Junior and Senior.
View the race's entry blank at http://www.worldkarting.com/downloads/eb-2012/mrp_gc.pdf to see the weekend schedule, lodging and other important information.

The following post contains spoilers through Episode 4 of AMC's third season of The Walking Dead which originally aired on 11-o4-2012.
AMC's The Walking Dead is pulling no punches in Season 3. But in Sunday night's episode, they pull all the stops out.
This was probably the most brutal episode of the show so far and there have been many. We've seen many main characters die – more than in any television show I can think of.
I suppose this is fitting given it's a show about the zombie apocalypse, but it still takes guts to kill off your leads.
In Killer Within we lose two more, one of whom is a central character.
Lori's death after the zombies breach the prison was a hard one to watch. While not the most sympathetic character in the show, it was especially difficult to know that her death came at the end of a long spell of silence between her and both her husband and son. Certainly Rick will never outlive the guilt of her death and the weeks leading up to that death. Carl will have to live forever haunted – traumatized – by the fact that he pulled the trigger.
T-Dog was never as prominent a figure in The Walking Dead, but it was still a surprise to see him killed off so suddenly.
But as hard as these deaths were to watch, they also give me faith in the show. Season 2 had me a bit concerned. It had high points and low points but didn't resonate with me the way Season 1 had.
In Season 2, Shane's decline and eventual demise were all pretty well telegraphed over the course of the season. You knew things were going to go badly for everyone at the end, that the farm was too good to be true. Some main characters dying off at the season finale wasn't particularly surprising (though the little girl who lost her way and turned up as a Walker was a terrifying twist and a surprisingly good move on the show's part.)
This time around, I didn't see Lori's death coming.
We were all so focused on Hershel, on the possibility that the baby would come and nobody would be able to deliver it. We thought that maybe Lori would lose the baby, not that Lori herself might be lost.
The show earns points for not flinching. The death of such a major character at a time when none of the problems between her and her family had been resolved keeps us on our toes. It makes watching as we go forward much more tense and interesting.
Rick and Carl and the whole group will need some sort of major conflict to get them past their grief and trauma.
I imagine The Governor will provide that for them soon enough.
Speaking of The Governor, he's doing his best to woo the oh-so-gullible Andrea into staying. She seems inclined to trust him and abandon her trust in Michonne despite the latter's having rescued her and taken care of her in dire circumstances for the entire winter.
This is no surprise. Andrea has shown time and again that she is a terrible, terrible judge of character. She'll likely lead The Governor and his men straight to Rick and company. I continue to find myself annoyed beyond measure during each of Andrea's scenes much like I was during the previous season.
Michonne, on the other hand, is pretty much the exact opposite.
All told, a much better episode than last week, and certainly one of the more emotional and intense episodes of the show so far.

Great fit even with chubby thighs! Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
These are a great training pant, and these fit even chubby toddlers' thighs well without digging in. They do the job and don't leak and are an amazing value for their longevity and durability. The only negative is that they don't have snaps and that is a big deal for me. BUT I still have some of these despite that because the fit is so great. They are perfect for the almost trained toddler while out. (Posted on 1/3/11)
Good for small overnight accidents too Review by Sarah
Price Value Quality
My three year old is potty trained but still has night time accidents. Even though these are meant for day time use, they will catch and hold a little accident at night. I had used disposable pull ups at night, but had these from day time potty training and decided to give them a try for night time before buying specific night time bed wetting cloth pants. They work fine as long as there isn't heavy wetting. They will leak if there is heavy wetting or a couple accidents before they are changed. My three year old likes that they are comfortable and easy to pull up and down. (Posted on 1/8/13)

This week, the Army and Air Force announced a decrease in the number of reservists on active duty in support of the partial mobilization, while the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard had a increase. The net collective result is 873 fewer reservists mobilized than last week.
At any given time, services may mobilize some units and individuals while demobilizing others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease. Total number currently on active duty in support of the partial mobilization for the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 112,268; Navy Reserve, 4,350; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 7,662; Marine Corps Reserve, 7,121; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 415. This brings the total National Guard and Reserve personnel, who have been mobilized, to 131,816, including both units and individual augmentees.
A cumulative roster of all National Guard and Reserve personnel, who are currently mobilized, can be found at http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Jan2006/d20060118ngr.pdf .

Though reliever Alan Embree had an April 15 opt-out date in the minor league contract he signed with the Red Sox last month, a source familiar with discussions between the sides expects the pitcher to stay with the Sox for "a few more weeks." Embree made his third appearance for Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday, tossing a scoreless inning of relief while getting a pair of flyouts and a groundout.
Embree has tossed shutout innings in three of his four appearances, though he got touched for three runs in one-third of an inning in his other outing. In his four appearances, Embree has allowed three runs on two hits and five walks in 3.1 innings while striking out three.

Billy, the much anticipated new resident of Denver Zoo's new Toyota Elephant Passage exhibit can now be seen by guests.
"Billy has cleared a mandatory quarantine and with a full clean bill of health, he ventured outside for the first time today. The Denver community has been asking about him regularly. I know they will fall in love at first sight," says Denver Zoo Director of Communications Tiffany Barnhart.
Denver Zoo imported a male Asian elephant from the Antwerpen Zoo in Belgium in late June. The 5-year-old elephant will support the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan with valuable genetics as he is not closely related to any elephants in the US. The young bull is the third bull in the zoo's newest exhibit, Toyota Elephant Passage, a $50 million state-of-the-art animal habitat
This elephant was born Feb. 17, 2008 at Dublin Zoo weighing 176 pounds. Denver Zoo took numerous measures to ensure the elephants safe transport back to the United States. To prepare for the elephant's arrival, one zookeeper, one assistant curator, the area curator, two veterinarians, the vice president for animal care and one communications staff member flew in advance to Antwerpen Zoo. One zookeeper arrived more than a month in advance to spend bond with Billy and learn his routine.

text: by Amelia Holliday — Staff Reporter�HAZARD — As a state police investigation continues into the death of a Perry County inmate, a report filed with the Kentucky Department of Corrections (DOC) has given insight into what may have happened at the jail in the hours before the death.�Larry Trent, 54, of Upper Second Creek, was involved in an altercation with staff at the jail on July 9 at around 7:30 a.m., according to the extraordinary occurrence report (EOR) filed with the DOC three days after the incident by jail administrator Tim Kilburn. Trent was found unresponsive three to four hours later in his cell and pronounced dead at Hazard ARH at 12:20 p.m. that day.�Kilburn recorded the type of extraordinary occurrence in the report as aggravated assault on staff and the homicide of an inmate. Kilburn did not return calls seeking comment this week, but declined comment for the Herald's initial story on this case on the advice of the jail's attorney and insurance company.�The report, which the Herald obtained through an open records request with the DOC, lists the names of the staff involved in the occurrence as Damon Hickman and William Howell, both of whom are listed as having been placed on administrative leave. The names of witnesses to the occurrence are listed as "several."�In a short narrative included in the EOR, Howell described the details of the incident, citing the cause of the altercation as Trent having "items he was not allowed" in his cell, and when deputies tried to take those items from Trent, he allegedly initiated the altercation.�"Myself and Deputy Hickman opened the door to get the items. He (Trent) came out fighting. I tased him. He didn't stop," Howell wrote.�Howell wrote that Trent ran to the booking desk, at which point at least two other deputy jailers came to assist Hickman and Howell.�"We got him (Trent) to detox. He then took the Taser from my hand; we kept it under him till (sic) we could get it back and got him under control (and he) was placed in the cell," Howell wrote.�One deputy jailer was apparently reprimanded after the alteration, according to the report. James C. Combs was sent home by Howell, his supervisor, and told to call the jail administrator because he allegedly would not help other deputies restrain Trent.�According to an employee warning report filed on the day of the incident, Combs is listed as being careless, violating the rules, and having unsatisfactory behavior. Howell wrote on the report that Combs "would not help in a fight (and) stood and watched, then walked off."�Combs did not sign the report before it was filed.�An observational log was included in the EOR for the hours between the altercation and Trent being found unresponsive. Hickman wrote that he checked on Trent every 20-30 minutes beginning at 7:40 a.m., and initialed each entry. He reported the "inmate seemed 10-4 at this time" until 9:38 a.m., at which time he recorded Trent was moving around the cell. A log for 10:36 a.m. gives no observation but is still initialed.�A preliminary report from the state medical examiner's office on July 10 notes Trent had sustained injuries as the result of a "jail beating" which included "blunt impacts of head, trunk, and extremities with multiple skeletal and visceral injuries." Officials with the Perry County Coroner's Office said an official cause of death has yet to be determined and it could be several months before the medical examiner's office is able to conclude.�Trent was being held for a DUI charge from July 5 and a bench warrant for charges from 2012. At his arraignment on July 8, the judge had set a $1,000 surety bond for Trent.

John Howard Moore was born the fourth son of Cyrus and Catharine Ann McKinney Moore near Four Locks, Md. on September 29, 1862. It might be possible that he was named for a friend of the family in Clear Spring – Jonathan Hower – though the name had been modified somewhat from Jonathan Hower to John Howard. Jonathan Hower was married at the time to Elizabeth Margaret Moore, Cyrus Moore's oldest sister. Jonathan and Elizabeth Moore Hower named their only child Kate Sanders Hower – Kate possibly for Catharine, Cyrus Moore's wife and Sanders for Elizabeth's mother's maiden name. John Howard Moore grew up during the Civil War in the area of the town of Clear Spring until his parents moved to Martinsburg after the war.
Having gone to school in Martinsburg, he is listed in the 1880 census in Martinsburg while 18 years old and living with his parents and three younger siblings. He could read at this point while his younger siblings could not. His older brother James Drayden Moore was at this time already working on the railroad, I believe).
Between 1882 – 1885, John Howard finally got the bug to head west. At some point, perhaps 1885, he and Mary Davison met. They married in Desoto, Kansas on Sept. 30, 1886. When they were heading out west to settle, Molly was pregnant and had a breach birth (Katie W. Moore who died 9/30/1887, the day after she was born). When she went into labor they placed hot coals in her hands to distract from birth pains. When the baby died the plans to head west changed. Eventually, they made their way back to Kentucky (their first son, William Cyrus Moore was born in Hardin County, Ky. on 12/22/1889) and then, I think western Maryland/Southern Pa. At this point, they gave up on going west, probably returned to her parents house and then went to his parent's house which, at the time, was probably in Chambersburg, Pa.
Supposedly after he had secured a job with the railroad and while he was working on the railroad that went into Shenandoah at sometime, saw the farm land that he wanted on Naked Creek. This is what brought him eventually to Shenandoah, after purchasing the land which was originally divided up into three deeds.
One thing does throw off this theory of living in the Martinsburg area during the time frame of the late 1880's. William Cyrus Moore was born in Kentucky in late December 1889. It could have been that they were at the time visiting with Mollie's parents for Christmas.
After moving to the homeplace on Naked Creek, Nell was born in June 1891, Hume was born at the homeplace in August 1896. On May 24, 1896, Howard signed a new deed for "Lots No. 26 and 27 in Block No. 3 of Miller's addition to the town of Shenandoah, fronting each 50 feet on Third Street, and running west 130 feet with Milnes Street to an alley…." He paid $157 total "to be paid as follows…. Forty Dollars cash…. and eleven bonds for Ten Dollars each, payable one each month for eleven months from this date…." Apparently they did not move to the new address on Second Street until sometime after Hume was born. Annetta followed as the last child in November 1898.
Howard, also referred to as "Blinky" because of an eye spasm type of twitch, worked for the Norfolk & Western R.R. at Shenandoah, making his first run with T.B. Davis (who attended his funeral in 1942) in 1890. A story passed down says that he was known for climbing out on the engine and taking off the train whistle and replacing it with a steamboat whistle. He then commenced to playing music as the train came down the mountain. Sometime during his years as a trainman, a boiler exploded and he was severely scalded. The scars were plainly visible for years on his legs.
Though residing in Shenandoah, Va., in 1894 he was serving as an officer ("receiver") with the Antietam #512, Brotherhood of Local Firemen and Enginemen, in Hagerstown, Md.
He was a member of the Episcopal Church and became a Freemason and member of the Ashlar Lodge #125 in Shenandoah, Va. in 1900. (However, obituary states member of 43 years as of 5/1942). From the official lodge records, Howard's application was read 8/11/1900 (petition was signed by Charles H. Donn & L.F. Brown). Initiated to 1st degree 9/22/1900. Examined as entered Apprentice 1/12/01. Passed to fellowcraft 3/9/1901. Examined on the fellowcraft and raised 7/13/1901. Listed as Tyler 12/27/01. J.M. Haney was Worshipful Master at the time (1900 – 1903). On November 20, 1902 the lodge bought the old bank building for use as a lodge. Paid $450 for some, $100 down and borrowed the balance from J. Howard Moore over a period of 5 years and he took a deed of Trust against the same. Was "well known as an instructor among the candidates…." J.D. 2/14/03. JW, 7/4/04. WM 9/10/04.
On July 8, 1911, the Ashlar Lodge was called upon to lay the cornerstone of St. Peter's Church. J.H. Moore was Worshipful Master (1911 – 1912, and 1936 – 1937).
After retiring from the railroad he became active in the coal and transfer business with my grandfather (Howard's grandson), Robert Fenton Moore. Also helped in founding the Shenandoah Union Store Corp. serving 12 years as VP and ten years as President.
After suffering from diabetes and "infirmities of age" for several months and having been a patient of Rockingham Memorial with surgeries in a five month time frame, John Howard Moore passed away at about 6:03 p.m., Tuesday, May 19, 1942. The Masonic funeral was conducted (by Mr. Julian Price of Luray) from the Baptist Church beginning at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 22. Reverends E. E. Sumpter and J.E. Tucker conducted the funeral. The active pallbearers were H.L. Kiblinger, I.W. Judd, H.H. Darr, J.W. Henderson, John Callary and F.C. Wilkes. Honararies were W.H. Strickler, H.B. Reid, F.A. Lankford, T.B. Davis, J.S. Price, G.C. Steele, A.J. Stepp, and H.C. Bickers. He was laid to rest in the United Brethren Cemetery, Shenandoah, Va.
Mollie, though she had long wanted to be laid to rest in her home state of Kentucky, was laid to rest beside him in December, 1951.

One of the most popular features requests for Picasa Web Albums is to show the number of views. It's difficult to know if your photos are popular and the number of views is a simple way to measure popularity. Now you can find this number below each photo.
"The 'Views' metric allows you to see how many people have viewed a certain photo or video. Views from all sources are included: Picasa Web Albums, embedded photos (if applicable), image search, etc. The view count, updated every 24 hours, is located on the bottom-right of an individual photo or video and is visible to anyone who can see the content. The number of views for each photo or video dates back to June 30, 2009. All views before this date are not included," explains Google.
Picasa Web Albums started as a service that helped you share photos with your friends and family, but it gradually added features from community-oriented services like Flickr: search, tags, Creative Commons licensing, comment moderation.
The service was launched as an online extension of the popular photo organizer Picasa, but this was an important factor that limited its development: it's difficult to upload multiple photos if you don't use Picasa, there's no photo editing feature and the name isn't very attractive. In addition to the integration with Picasa, Google's service offers only 1 GB of free storage, a great semi-automatic face recognition feature, a simple way to geotag photos, embeddable slideshows and some nice keyboard shortcuts that save time when you browse through photos. How would you improve Picasa Web Albums?

AT&T strikes back with NEXT, accelerated upgrade program that'll let you get a new phone or tablet every year
AT&T has just gotten into the accelerated upgrade game in a big way with their new Next program. Here's the gist, if you're a new customer or are currently eligible for an upgrade, you can buy a new phone or tablet with no downpayment, but with monthly installments. After 12 months, you can switch to a new phone or tablet, also with no downpayment, and keep on with the installments. Or, you can keep paying down on the original phone or tablet for a total of 20 months and be free and clear. AT&T Mobility president and CEO, Ralph de la Vega said in a prepared statement:
With AT&T Next, customers can get the newest smartphone or tablet every year with no down payment. That's hard to beat, and it's an incredible value for customers who want the latest and greatest every year."
No word yet on how the math works out for iPhone customers, but AT&T offers the following Android example:
The interest-free monthly device installments range from $15 to $50, depending on the device selected. For example, a customer purchasing a Samsung Galaxy® S 4 would have no down payment and pay $32 per month, in addition to the monthly wireless service plan they choose, with the option to trade in their device and upgrade after 12 payments or to keep using the device and pay off the installment plan in full after 20 months. There's no penalty for paying off the installment plan early.
We'll have to run the numbers and see what ends up being cheaper, AT&T's new Next deal or the Jump program announced by T-Mobile last week. But in the meantime, check out what AT&T is offering and let me know, if you're an existing customer, will you hop on Next, and if not, is Next enough to make you consider switching?

AT&T strikes back with NEXT, accelerated upgrade program that'll let you get a new phone or tablet every year
Probably.... AT&T looks for any opportunity to push its unlimited users into a tiered data plan. That's why I switched to Verizon (well, that and AT&T coverage is sh1t where I'm at, and their customer service sucks).
I'm confused. How exactly is $32 a month a "good deal??"
GS4 example:
$32x20 months = $640
$32x12 months = $384, more than the 2 year pricing.
Or pay the $199 up front, whenever you want sell the thing for $350-400 (or even more maybe), use less than that $384 for the next year at $32/month combined with the money you sell it for, and buy the next phone outright. The next year u have 2 year eligibility again and put the extra money from selling the phone away to re-buy the off year. Do this process every year if you want and you come out ahead.
Been doing this with iphones since the 3GS. First was a 2 year pricing, next year the above model, then 2 year pricing comes again, then sell and buy a full price phone, back and forth. Since the iphones retain so much resale, its a minimum investment every year even buying full price- $100-200; less than this $30+ per month. And I have a new phone every year.
This model is too expensive.
Very true. It's not a deal other than to people that don't know better or just don't want to deal with the hassle of selling.
I am sure AT&T will figure out some way to force us into this as a SOP. Let's not forget that the $199 we pay for an iPhone today is a subsidized amount. If I go with this next plan are they going to give me a break on the monthly bill? I guarantee they won't!!! This will be their way of sucking all of the expendable income out of their customer base. T-Mobile didn't do us any favors by strting this.
Why in the world does one desire a new phone every year nowadays? These phones are so powerful. They will easily last beyond two years. Hell, new mid-range Androids have last years top of the line specs. There just isn't much to differentiate between next month's and last year's phones.
Couldn't have said it better myself. When a person knows what they want, and knows how to use what they have they upgrade when they want to not whenever the seasons change.
I dont feel like this is a good deal at all. I like T-Mobiles version a lot better. I would rather just pay a small fee and have the ability to upgrade my phone every year with discount pricing versus paying $30 or more (most likely for iphones) per month.
Does jump require that you trade in your phone because if it does not its clearly the better deal.
That's stupid and not a good deal at all. Ridiculous.
i am extremely excited to see the 5S. I am sure 5S will as expensive as this model.
Thanks for the information.
One of the main reasons I was loyal to Sprint was having a (former) Premeir customer (a status achieved after 10 years of being a member or by being on a certain plan or something like that) status which allowed me to upgrade every year but they ended that program last year so now I've been eyeing other carriers. With this movement by AT&T I expect Sprint and Verizon to follow suit shortly so I'll wait around a bit and see what happens.
I'm not biting on this deal. We have 3 iphones on our family plan (2 with grandfathered unlimited). All I do is i always get the latest phone with whichever line is eligible and then I pass down the previous model to my hubby! He could care less which model he's using.
** Requires 20-month 0% APR installment agreement & qualifying credit. Wireless service req. (voice & data for smartphones/data for tablets). If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on device becomes due.Sales tax due at sale. Qualifying devices only. Upgrade after 1 yr.: Req. min. 12 installment payments, acct. in good standing, plus trade-in of current device in good & functional condition & purchase of new device/wireless agreement & service plan. After upgrade remaining unbilled installment payments are waived. AT&T Next available only at AT&T owned retail stores & att.com. If device is returned, restocking fee up to $35 for smartphones or 10% of tablet sales price may apply. Terms subject to change.
How is this a comparison to T-mobile's Jump in any way?
T-mobile does not require a credit check. Att does.
T-mobile monthly payment $20. Att $30+
T-mobile no contract plans. Att contract plans remain aswell as still paying the premium price because there was no mention of plans being reduced. Also within that premium price includes the tax and extra cost which they use to subsidze the phone.
Tmobile upgrade twice a year. Att once a year.
This look to be swinging in tmobiles favor if the buyer is concerned about price, eligibility, and frequency. If coverage and data consistency are what your looking for then you may have to reconsider.
32 * 12 = 384
384 + 35 = 419 a year and you trade in your phone for new one
199 + 250 = 449 a year and you keep your old phone to sell
449 - 419 = 30 cheaper BUT you loose your phone
I don't see the benefit, based on these numbers on the old you can sell your phone every year for $280 to break even, this would cover the difference, 199 for new phone and 36 for activation
I see no benefit to NEXT.

The City of Scottsdale cannot provide referrals for professional services, but the professional organizations that license and/or govern the professions often have referral services.
For architects, the American Institue of Architects has an online referral service at www.aia.org/architect_finder. Architectural designers are not licensed or tested so they have no governing/organizational board to register with for us to refer clients to.
For structural engineers, the Arizona branch of the Structural Engineer's Association has a list of engineers who will do smaller projects. www.seaoa.org -- Scroll down the column on the left & click on "Small Project List"
Contractors should be registered with the state Registrar of Contractors, and clients can check with the Better Business Bureau for more information, but there is no overall organization that has a referral service. Two resources that may be helpful are:
- www.azroc.gov/clsc/AZROCLicenseQuery (602-542-1502)

EGR Valve at 1A Auto
What is an EGR Valve and where is it Located?
The exhaust gas recirculation valve - EGR valve for short - in your vehicle is a critical part of the emission reduction system. Most commonly located on the intake manifold, the EGR valve uses vacuum from the induction system or a signal from the vehicle's computer to open a passage and allow the engine's exhaust gasses to be reintroduced back into the engine, combined with incoming air / fuel mixture. These exhaust gasses reduce the temperature of the combustion, which results in the reduction of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions being released into the environment.
EGR Valve Failure
EGR valves can fail by becoming stuck open, allowing for too much exhaust gas to enter the intake; or by being stuck closed, preventing or limiting the amount of exhaust gas to enter the intake. When an EGR valve is stuck in the open position it may result in rough idle, decreased engine performance and increased fuel consumption due to the fact that your vehicle is not burning and using the fuel that is available to burn and use. When an EGR valve is stuck in the closed position it may result in increased NOx emissions and pre-ignition (knock). Failure of any other component of the EGR system such as the EGR pressure sensor or a cracked vacuum line may also result in an inoperative EGR valve. OBDII Check Engine Codes related to EGR valves include:
P0400 - EGR Flow Malfunction
P0401 - Insufficient EGR Flow
P0402 - Excessive EGR Flow
P0403 - EGR Circuit Malfunction
P0404 - EGR Circuit Range / Performance
P0405 - EGR Sensor A Circuit Low
P0406 - EGR Sensor A Circuit High
P0407 - EGR Sensor B Circuit Low
P0408 - EGR Sensor B Circuit High
