Rolfe's tobacco crop launched a country
In June 1609, while voyaging from England to the Virginia colony, John Rolfe found himself on an unplanned, fateful layover in an island paradise.
A four-day storm (the same one that is said to have inspired Shakespeare's "The Tempest") scattered and destroyed ships, and Rolfe, his wife Sarah, and several other passengers were stranded in Bermuda.
During the next year, while the 100-or-so castaways built two new ships to finish the trip to Jamestown, Sarah gave birth to the Rolfes' daughter, Bermuda. Neither Sarah or her infant daughter – said to be the first English child born in Bermuda – survived for long afterwards, however. A few years after landing in Jamestown in May 1610, Rolfe named his plantation Bermuda Hundred for his daughter.
Some historians believe that during his Bermuda experience, Rolfe found tobacco seeds. But regardless of whether he obtained seeds there, he soon began experimenting in earnest with the blending and cultivating of various strains of tobacco.
Within a few years, Rolfe had created a new variety of tobacco that became immensely popular when it was shipped to England, providing the proverbial shot in the arm to a Virginia economy that was practically in its death throes.
Rolfe's success with the "green gold" transformed the struggling colony into a prosperous commercial center, established the basis for a thriving agricultural economy, and provided the economic incentive Europeans needed for expanded investment and settlement in Virginia.
For its role in saving the colony and shaping the future development of the New World, the success of John Rolfe's tobacco crop ranks No. 1 on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant events in Henrico's 400-year history.
Green gold
Agricultural Specialist Lindsay Gray of Henricus Historical Park, who has cultivated tobacco for 12 years at Henricus and Meadow Farm Museum, can appreciate the challenges Rolfe faced as he developed the new strain (a practice known as "sporting").
Tobacco does not grow easily from seeds, says Gray, speculating that Rolfe probably worked with "sets" of plants – similar to small tomato plants – as he conducted what he called his "trialls." Once he coaxed the plants through the difficult nursery phase, Rolfe still had to fend off insect pests such as the flea beetle.
A pipe smoker, Rolfe determined that native strains of tobacco grown by the Powhatan Indians were too harsh and would never catch on in Europe. Obtaining seeds from strains of Trinidad, Orinoco and perhaps Spanish tobacco, Rolfe most likely planted native and imported sets side by side – "near enough to interpollinate," says Gray.
Although there is no record that Rolfe ever lived at Henricus, it was likely the site of one of the "field stations" where he conducted his tests, says Gray. Through his "trialls," Rolfe perfected a fragrant blend that was not only milder and sweeter than the native tobacco, but also well-suited to Virginia growing conditions.
At a 2004 brown bag lecture about Henricus, Dr. Dennis A.J. Morey described the impetus for what Rolfe did next.
"The Virginia Company," said Morey, "kept urging the settlers, 'Don't send the ships back empty. Send us something we can sell!'"
So Rolfe shipped part of his crop back to England in 1614 -- and soon had a hit on his hands.
In short order, tobacco became the primary crop and export at Henricus. Although considered inferior to fine Spanish tobacco, the mellow Virginia strain pleased palates not only in England, but also among the Dutch and the French.
As Louis Manarin tells it in The History of Henrico County, "By 1619, 'Virginia went tobacco mad.'
"This was a breakthrough," said Morey, "because Rolfe established a commercial justification for the settlement. Till then it was strictly a military presence."
Pocahontas and Varina Farms
Having married the Indian princess Pocahontas in 1614 (visit http://www.HenricoCitizen.com to read a July 2011 article), Rolfe now lived at his farm just across the James River from Henricus.
Because he thought his combination resembled a variety from Barinas, Spain, Rolfe named his tobacco – and his farm – Varina. At Varina Farms, Pocahontas probably worked alongside her husband in the tobacco fields at some point; in 1615, she gave birth to the couple's son, Thomas.
Two years later, during a family trip to England, Pocahontas contracted pneumonia (or perhaps tuberculosis) and died. Rolfe returned home to Virginia, leaving Thomas in England to get an education. He never saw his son again; but at the age of 20, Thomas Rolfe moved back to Virginia and claimed his parents' land.
Continuing to farm tobacco at his Bermuda Hundred plantation, John Rolfe remarried and had a daughter. In 1622, the same year that an Indian massacre wiped out Henricus, Rolfe died. It is not known whether he died in the massacre, but there are indications that he was ill, and he had made out his will the previous year.
From bust to boom
In May 2000, as part of an effort to promote John Rolfe's and Henricus' role in the development of the tobacco industry, Philip Morris USA (now Altria) lent 500 of its employees to the effort to establish Henricus Historical Park's first pathways and exhibit areas.
Today, with the help of additional financial support from Altria, the John Rolfe Farm exhibit includes the tobacco barn and fields where Lindsay Gray and other interpreters use 17th-century tools and methods to demonstrate the fashion in which Rolfe would have tended his crop.
A relative unknown in his own time, John Rolfe likely died unaware of his role in creating the New World's first cash crop and would no doubt be amazed that his tobacco blend has been venerated to such status.
But while Rolfe's crop failed to provide the get-rich-quick scenario that Virginia Company investors may have been seeking, says Gray, it was plentiful – and plenty lucrative.
"This wasn't quick wealth, but it was steady," says Gray, noting that even then, indulging in tobacco tended to become a habit.
And at a price of one to three shillings, it was an inexpensive indulgence as well. "Once they became accustomed to tobacco," says Gray, "they were not likely to give it up."
In contrast to the preceding decade, when commercial interest in the colony had dwindled (along with the population) to next to nothing, the spike in tobacco production of the 1620s produced a corresponding spike in migration.
The wave of new settlers, who scattered their farms up and down the rivers of Virginia's tidewater region, launched a population boom that even the massacre failed to decimate, and yanked the colony back from the brink of economic bust.
Quite simply, as Gray sums up, "Tobacco was Virginia's economic savior."

Fourth Of W.Va. Water Is Lost
17 billion gallons wind up disappearing in an aging and leaky maze
September 2, 2013
CHARLESTON (AP) — Nearly 25 percent of the water leaving West Virginia's water plants disappeared even before it reached faucets last year, according to filings with the state Public Service......
old crumbling asbestos concrete pipes are a known link to pancreatic cancer and other cancers of the digestive track. Leaking is just the beginning.

Isn't it funny how governments and government entities have an excuse for everything? It cost more to repair the leaks than it will cost in water loss. Same thing with tax dollars lost to theft and fraud. There is always an acceptable amount of loss for these people. Maybe if the regular people start telling the water department; Sorry, I wrote the check for the full amount of the invoice, but I guess some of the digits fell off while it was in the mail. Maybe then they will realize what silly excuses they put out there. And, shouldn't the headline read ONE FOURTH of W.Va. water is wasted.

Just thinking, there are too many people in our jails, they pay no tax, WATER bill or electric, no food costs, and they don't have to buy gas to get there. They can use a shovel and pick and fix water lines as a service due for their free living paid for by tax payers.

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate + (Level 4)
SIZE: One Size About 18 x 80 in. (45.5 x 203 cm)
CORRECTIONS: (applied Dec 2, 2010)
18 sts + 19 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Lace Pattern. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
Lace Pattern (multiple of 12 sts + 6)
Row 1: K3, *yo, k2tog; rep from * to last 3 sts, k3.
Rows 2 and 4: K3, p to last 3 sts, k3.
Row 3: Knit.
Rows 5 and 8: K3, *k3tog, k4, yo, k1, yo, k4; rep from * to last 3 sts, k last 3 sts.
Rows 6, 7 and 9: K3, *p3tog, p4, yo, p1, yo, p4; rep from * to last 3 sts, k last 3 sts.
Rows 10-18: Rep Rows 1-9.
Rep Rows 1-18 for Lace Pattern.
1. Shawl is worked in one piece with a Garter st border on each of the 2 long sides. The Garter st border has been incorporated into the Lace Pattern.
2. The Lace Pattern used in this Shawl requires that you keep track of your sts and of which row you are working on. In Row 1, we will tell you where to place st markers with 3 border sts at the beg of the row, followed by 6 sets of 12 sts each (for the Lace Pattern) and 3 border sts at the end of the row. As you work each RS row, count your sts between markers. You should have 12 sts between the Lace Pattern markers on every row. If you do not have 12 sts, examine each st in your last rep and make any needed fixes (unravel st by st to make corrections) before continuing with the row.
3. Use a row counter to keep track of which rows of the 18-row Lace Pattern you have worked.
With A, cast on 78 sts.
Row 1: Work Row 1 of Lace Pattern across as follows: K3, *place marker (pm) (yo, k2tog) 6 times; rep from * to last 3 sts, pm, k3.
Continue with A until Row 18 of Lace Pattern has been completed.
*With B, work Rows 1-18 of Lace Pattern. Change to C and work Rows 1-18 of Lace Pattern. Change to A and work Rows 1-18 of Lace Pattern. Rep from * 5 more times.
With B, work Rows 1-18 of Lace Pattern. With C, work Rows 1-18 of Lace Pattern. With A, work Rows 1-8 of Lace Pattern. Bind off in pattern.
Weave in ends.

Product Details
Help kids with autism and sensory issues manage sound challenges with our noise reducing headphones. The discreet, flat black, low-profile design of the ear muffs makes them a great choice for school. Originally developed for the shooting range, therapists have found they can help manage stress and anxiety when sound-sensitive kids enter loud environments.
They also reduce the impact of loud noises such as fire drills. Students can also wear them to muffle sound when it's time to concentrate. The comfortable band is adjustable and works well for children and teens, but could be tight for adults or those with larger heads. They are portable and can easily fit in a backpack or class desk. They are also lightweight and comfortable, weighing just six ounces. They have a 25 decibel noise reduction rating (NRR).
Please note these headphones should only be worn on an as-needed basis. People who continually wear them can actually increase their auditory sensitivity.

This can be great tool for kiddos that need it! One thing worth noting is these are a bit of a tight fit for my students. I would have liked them to be more comfortable. The tight fit is a distraction and can cause students to be comfortable thus defeating the purpose.

I ordered these for my 7 year old son who was diagnosed with ASD a few months ago. He mostly has issues with sudden, loud noises. His teacher recommended them for certain times at school so I decided to get him a pair for outside of school too. These will really help during many different outings. They are a little snug fitting right out of the package but I'm sure they'll loosen up a bit over time. I am very pleased with this product and this whole website!

It Makes a Difference

I am very please with the product for my 10 and 11 year olds with autism/sensory issues. My 10-year-old son would become overwhelmed riding on his school bus with all of the different noises and the bus ride was long each day. Once he started wearing the noise reduction ear muffs he calmed down considerably at home and on the school bus. He has fewer meltdowns. My 11-year-old always complained of laughing or applause being too loud, so he wears them also to help with his sensory issues. I bought 2 sets and I am very satisfied.

This comment is for all noise-muffs that use these wire frames. I have purchased 3 different brands and can tell you that the instant you drop 'em, they're junk- the fittings are cheap brittle plastic. My recommendation: if you see wire, don't buy.

We bought these for our son. We think he may be on the spectrum as he is quite bothered by sudden loud noise and overwhelmed by too much all at once"confused" is what he will say. Since we bought these he brings them in the car in case he needs noise reduction, he also has from day 1 elected to use them every-night for bed. We give him a shot of melatonin, he grabs his headphones and off to sleep the first time. He sleeps the entire night now, amazing.

I bought these headphones for my grandson who is autistic. He loves them, and uses them often. So far, they have held up well. They are light-weight and durable. He is 4 but is a big boy and they fit his head well. We have gone from him covering his ears with his hands, to him telling us "I need my headphones". Worth the money!!

LXD75 motor problem
Posted 12 April 2010 - 09:03 PM
I've been using my LXD75 mount for about 2 years now and it's been a champ - I've hypertuned it and then re-hypertuned it about 9 months ago and it's been working great. I generally do astrophotography and with the guidescope giving input commands it does a good job. Tonight, I decided to retrain the drives because it's been overcorrecting a bit with the backlash. However, like an idiot, instead of clicking on the train drives, I clicked on LXD55/75 adjust. The instructions on that are the same as on the train drives and so when I clicked okay, it started moving like crazy. I quickly clicked Mode to exit and it stopped. The scope didn't run into anything - it just moved about 90 degrees about as fast as it could. After that, the RA gear only moves in full speed. I can change the speed and the Dec gear changes, but RA is moving at Max, even when I turn on quiet slew. I ran calibrate drives I tried to train (but have you ever tried that when RA is on MAX?!). It can't park the scope - it can't do anything. If I let it run enough, it'll give me a motor fault (though again, I'm not letting it run into anything or put any undue stress on things). Turned it off and on - same problem every time.
I thought maybe the encoder wheel might have a spiderweb or something (we've had cloudy or windy weather for weeks, but of course I used it successfully for hours last night...), but the RA encoder wheel looks clean and straight - everything looks fine.
Will a handset reset fix this? Is there something else I should do? I'm worried and would love some reassurance. I'm probably going to go ahead and do a handset reset to see (and if it works, I'll post back), but I thought I'd ask around and see if anyone else had run into this.

Okay, I started with the handbox reset command. The handbox reset and the problem was still there. Next, I hooked up the scope to my laptop and I ran the Autostar Updater software and flashed the handbox entirely - wiping it and replacing it with the latest firmware (43Eg). I replaced everything in that thing. I then booted it up, entered the date and time and it ran a calibrate motors command. The calibration seems to move both motors the normal amount and then it was ready for alignment. I changed the speed and sure enough, the Dec gear still only moves at Max speed while the RA gear works fine. I also got a Motor Fault error after moving the thing past about 150 degrees. Tried a couple reboots - still has a problem. I guess I'm going to have to call Meade on this one - unfortunately it's out of warranty.
Any suggestions?

Usually a hard reset will clear any faults. And try clearing out the "stray" bits often leftover from firmware updates. They can confuse the Autostar.

To answer the "visible light" question; Most encoder assemblies use infrared LED's and are not in the visible light spectrum.
Did you double check the ALT/AZ ratio numbers under "telescope setup"? They should reflect the numbers for your scope. If the ratios are blank for some reason, and you can select your telescope type and reset them, it would be a good place to start.
Another possibility here, is that somehow the encoder signals got shifted or damaged.
I've been told that the LDX-75 motor setup is a good one and I have never seen one or had the opportunity to work on one. I just had an LX-200 motor apart and replaced a motor in it, and I am pretty confident that I could repair your motor for you.
If you want to send it to me in SoCal, I'll take a look at it and attempt to repair it for you, and send it back. I won't charge you anything to do this, just pay for the shipping each way.
As one of my "rules to live by" says;
"There is nothing I can break so bad, that a new one wouldn't fix"...
Posted 09 May 2010 - 05:49 PM
I replaced, initially the Dec motor assembly (~$90). This did not solve the problem. I then replaced the RA motor assembly (which contains the connectors for everything) (~$120). When I connected the new RA to the new Dec, attached the Autostar and plugged it in (though I hadn't attached it to the scope yet), the RA gear started running very quickly. However, I could run both motors at lower speeds, but the RA was (when I wasn't pressing a button) running very fast. I went through the setup menu and chose Calibrate Motors. That fixed it.
Sounds good-right? I just had to replace either the RA motor or both RA and Dec (~$210 - compared to $200 for Meade to fix it) right? Um, not so fast. Just for giggles, I hooked up my old motors and the Autostar and plugged it in. It did the same quick runaway RA until I did calibrate motors and then it worked too. Aaaaah! Did I just blow $210? The answer is maybe. I think the hand controller needed to be plugged into another scope to truly reset. I had already flashed the memory of the controller and that hadn't fixed the problem, but once I was able to hook it up to a "different" scope (as far as it was concerned), everything was hunky dory. I had some nice viewing afterward and everything worked perfectly.
So now, I've trained the RA/Dec backlash and tonight, if its not windy, I'll be doing some PE correction. These new motor assemblies are a lot quieter than my old ones and so now i'm using the new ones and have the old ones in storage so if something breaks, I've got spares.
Long story short, if you have this same problem, I'd suggest connecting your hand controller to someone else's (compatible) Meade scope and then back to yours to see if that fixes it.

Posted 16 August 2013 - 12:41 AM
So, do I go back to Meade (This will be a second repair for motor faults...) or try and find replacement motor(s).
May I ask from where the parts may be purchased, if I decide to take that route?
Thanks in advance,
Posted 16 August 2013 - 06:38 AM
Good Luck!

Contrary to expectations, after a 5 minute phone call to Meade I was able to place order for a new set of motors. Nor was there any long wait, or confusing multi level list of options - I got straight through to a real person. Delivery expected in ~2 weeks according to the representative. There was the option for return/repair but that would have taken ~4 weeks and incurred extra shipping charges.
Hopefully I can get this thing pointing at the sky again (under my control)!

To answer your question: Two motor assemblies, including the shipping charge came to $290.
Of course I went back to the mount the other day, and turned it on to find it working again as far as I could tell.... but spare motors are a good idea. Besides, I've aways thought the RA motor sounded inconsistent whilst tracking, as if the encoders were suffering a stutter.

OMG: Johnson, Kenseth Text Like BFFs, Not Title Rivals
With a tense NASCAR Sprint Cup points battle coming to a head, how did points leader Jimmie Johnson and second-place Matt Kenseth spend Friday morning at Martinsville Speedway? Texting each other.
(David Banks/ NASCAR via Getty Images)
With a tense NASCAR Sprint Cup points battle coming to a head, how did points leader Jimmie Johnson and second-place Matt Kenseth spend Friday morning at Martinsville Speedway? Texting each other.
That's right, texting.
Just like they were BFFs instead of a pair of past series champions who are among the fiercest competitors in the sport.
And the best part of it?
They were ROTFLMAO funny. At least if you know the two of them and get their respective brands of humor.
Johnson, of course, is the master of Martinsville, having won here eight times. Kenseth, on the other hand, historically has struggled here. But that didn't keep him from ribbing Johnson.
Kenseth texted Johnson Friday morning. Notorious for his dry sense of humor, Kenseth asked Johnson not to bug him for help on how to get around at Martinsville.
"I just texted Jimmie a little while ago though and told him that we're friends and everything, but I would appreciate it if he wouldn't ask me for any advice this weekend," Kenseth said. "He's going to leave me alone. He's not going to ask me for any tips on Martinsville until the weekend is over."
Johnson said Kenseth texted him, "'He hopes that I would understand and I'm not offended.' I told him 'I completely understand and wish I could offer him some help one of these days.' Then it just went back and forth."
Advised that Johnson went for a 20-mile run on Thursday, Kenseth deadpanned, "It would take me a week to run 20 miles even if somebody was chasing me."
Kenseth still figured Johnson will be the man to beat this weekend. Of course, that's nothing new. Johnson frequently is.
"I can't ever recall them running bad," Kenseth said of Johnson and his Hendrick Motorsports team. "Really, I don't. People always say, 'Man, it's a great track for Jimmie.' Is there a bad one?"
As for Johnson, while he was preparing to head to the Martinsville Media Center for his mandatory media availability, Kenseth shot him one last text.
"He just texted me again and said 'be ready for the media center,'" Johnson said of Kenseth.
Then, laughing, Johnson added, "He gave me the heads up what was going to happen in here."
And that was it.
Kenseth's teammate, Denny Hamlin, had his own thoughts on the matter.
"I don't know the extent of their texting relationship, how intimate they really get or anything like that," said Hamlin. "But I'm sure through the texts that I've shared with both of them I'm guessing it's light-hearted and Matt was probably joking around saying, 'Don't beat up on me too bad.' And, Jimmie (Johnson) is probably like, 'Oh yeah, you led laps here in the spring so you'll be fine.' I'm guessing it's more just joking around. Light-hearted head games more than it is anything."
On the track for the first time, the two were virtual equals, as Friday's lone 90-minute practice round ended with Kenseth ninth and Johnson tied for 10th. And in qualifying, Johnson was only 0.031 seconds faster than Kenseth. Johnson will start second on Sunday, Kenseth fourth.

May 24, 2016
Valdosta, GA - They come from miles around to see the Williams' house.
"I have gone to this house every year and I love it so much. It's one of the best houses ever," said Kenzie Eikenberry, Trick-Or-Treater.
Cars lining up way down Wendover Street off Eager Street and tune-in their radios to hear the music that accompanies the big show.
"Then it meshes with the music so the lights go constantly with the music. It's great," said Taquita Zdenek, Trick-Or-Treater.
"There's scary stuff and it just pops out of nowhere and you don't expect it," said Lexi Sutton, Trick-Or-Treater.
It takes quite a Halloween fanatic to put on this kind of a show. So who are these people?
"It's just wonderful. It's just one of the best hobbies in the world to have," said Allan Williams, owner of the Halloween house.
Whoever said Halloween is just for kids never met Allan Williams and his wife Pam.
So even when your hair is too grey to go Trick-Or-Treating, there is still a treat waiting for you every Halloween at the end of Wendover Street in Valdosta.
The Williams' family goes even bigger for Christmas.

MHI Achieves 3000-Hour Operation Of SOFC-MGT System
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has achieved 3000 cumulative hours of operation of a 200 kW class combined cycle power generation system incorporating solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and a micro gas turbine (MGT). MHI began developing SOFC-MGT combined cycle power generation system in 2004 at MHI's Nagasaki Shipyard and Machinery Works under consignment by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
MHI will further pursue reliability enhancement and system downsizing. The company is also working toward a business/industrial use system, combining SOFCs and an MGT in joint development with Toyota Motor Corporation. MHI has been conducting joint development with Toyota Motor Corporation since 2008. Toyota has an affiliate company, Toyota Turbine Systems, Inc. which sells MGTs.
MHI has been pursuing various power generation methods to reduce CO2 emissions, including high-efficiency thermal power generation systems, nuclear power systems, and renewable energies such as wind power and photovoltaic cells. As higher power generation efficiency is expected by combining SOFCs with other power generation systems, ranging from small-scale or under 1 MW, to large scale, several hundred megawatt, MHI views the development of large scale combined cycle power generation systems as a key challenge but with significant potential.

Why 2014 Won't Matter Without Voter ID
Voting integrity must be returned to the voting booth and it is a monumental task. The DFF (Democrat Fraud Factor) has permeated all states in the Union. But most of us know that where there was Voter Photo ID, Obama lost. In 2014 and beyond, it is my contention that the only way Dems can win elections is through fraud. And they will, if not stopped BEFORE 2014. Literally EVERYTHING you need to be a DAILY PATRIOT is included in this blog. GIDDY UP!Read More »

Thunderous resonant sounds call from beyond the depths
And the winds of gravity change,
In memories of the consciousness of the ancient rocks,
Nature's answer to the eternal question
The tunnels of the sky
Meet under oceans
And fall into the vortex of Bermuda
The secret of the poles
Where the Eskimo never where
The lightning,
The megatons of water
They fly within
A spinning thunderous vortex
At the poles of the world
In the labyrinth of lost directions
Mankind's falsehood is the weight of gravity
Current current current
The sun has moved where the lines of the compass lay vertical at the gates
Where the world inside
Stands alone in front of eternity
In the 4 fields of the hollow earth
I search for the riddle of the clouds
Where the new world shall form from clouds
Gouging funnels in the great abyss of the sky
In the shape of the one stream
Where tunnels open into the great nothing
And the giant spaces that rent gravity
Unto the depths of the earth
Alight becomes the riddle of the labyrinth
Where the channels of the junction
Reform the ethos
And forget
I search for the riddle of the clouds
From where a new world shall form
A tunnel gouges in the shapes
Of the stream in the great abyss
Of the sky

In child care centers, diseases can spread easily because large numbers of children from different families spend hours together in one place every day.
Contagious diseases are spread by germs. Germs are so small that you cannot see them without a microscope. Yet just a few germs on a hand or on a toy may be enough to spread a disease.
Germs spread through body secretions. Intestinal tract infections spread through stool. Respiratory tract infections spread through coughs, sneezes, and runny noses. Other diseases spread through direct contact.
People can spread germs without being sick themselves. A person with a disease is often contagious before he develops symptoms. Sometimes people, especially young children, spread disease germs to their families and caregivers without ever getting sick themselves. This means that steps to prevent diseases must be followed ALWAYS, not just when the person is obviously sick. It is inevitable: children will get sick. They will get sick whether or not they are in day care. There are steps parents and day care workers can take to keep ONE child's illness from spreading through the center to the other children, their families, and staff.
Be sure your child receives all immunizations on schedule. Several diseases that used to be terrible problems for adults and children can now be prevented by immunization. This group includes measles, mumps, German measles (rubella or 3-day measles), polio, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis), Haemophilus Influenza Type B (Hib) and Hepatitis B. Some people think these diseases no longer exist or are no longer problems. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Cases still occur. The reason these diseases are no longer widespread problems is that people are being IMMUNIZED. If people stopped getting these protective shots for themselves and their children, these diseases would once again become common problems.
Because young children in child care groups are likely targets for disease, ALL children in day care centers need to have ALL recommended immunizations to protect themselves, their families, the other children, and the center staff. Arrange to take your children to the doctor to receive these immunizations on schedule. Also, inform your Child Care Program when your child has received an immunization so his record can be updated. Your child cannot attend school, according to NYS Public Health Law (PHL) 2164, unless his or her immunization history is up to date, or in progress.

Letters to Parents [re: Influenza Vaccine Requirement] (PDF) Other languages: [العربية] [বাংলা] [中文] [ Kreyòl ayisyen] [Français] [한국어] [Русский] [Español] [اردو] [ײִדיש]
Keep your child at home if he or she is diagnosed as having any of the following contagious diseases. Some of the diseases on this list are common, others are rare among children who stay in day care or at home. The uncommon infections are included in this list so that information will be available should a case occur in your child's center.
Bacterial Meningitis or Viral Meningitis
When the Health Department indicates it is safe.
Chicken Pox
One week after the rash begins, or when all chicken pox are scabbed over.
When he or she no longer has diarrhea.
Campylobacter, Cryptosporidiosis, E. coli 0157:H7, Giardia, Salmonella, Shigella
When your physician or the Health Department says it is safe.
When your physician tells you it is safe.
Hepatitis A
One week after the illness begins.
24-48 hours after symptoms resolve.
5 days after the rash appears.
After the swelling subsides (or 5 days after the swelling begins).
Pertussis (whooping cough)
4 week after intense coughing begins, or 5 days after antibiotic treatment begins.


text: Candy Samples (born April 12, 1940 in Kansas City, Missouri) was a busty pornographic actress. She was often credited as Mary Gavin (which is believed to have been taken from her real first name, Mary, and a family name, Gavin), though early in her career she sometimes appeared under the names Vivian Andresen and Candy Mosler. In this regard, it was rumored (unsubstantiated) that she was an heiress to the Mosler Safe fortune. [Candy claimed, in a purported interview in 1978 in a publication entitled Candy & Uschi, published by American Art Enterprises, Inc., that she had inherited "a fair amount of money" prior to getting into hardcore. However, she "met a car salesman who I fell madly in love with and he took me for a long ride...And I ended up penniless."] She appeared in numerous films and magazines during her heyday. Much of her work tended more toward the softcore, though she made appearances in hardcore. Despite her large breasts, she had a relatively lean body overall (her measurements reported as 48DD-24-36). Candy was reportedly illegitimate. Her upbringing was rather harsh as her mother did not want what had happened to her to happen to Candy. Candy admitted that it was very, very late when she started having sex and that she was 28 before she knew about oral sex. Candy reportedly came to Los Angeles from Kansas City in 1964. She was widowed and was a single parent raising her child (a son) on Social Security. Subsequently, she began tearoom modeling in the San Fernando Valley. According to Candy's Web site, "I've always been a nudist at heart, which is surprising as I'm from the conservative midwest. However, when I was bouncing down the street in Marina Del Rey, California and Dick J. approached me to model for him and when he said it was nude modeling, I thought maybe. About two weeks later I called him and my career was launched." This appears to have happened about 1968/1969. During this period, Candy did 4 or 5 hardcore films, later opting not to make any more because of her fear of being prosecuted and because actors (at that time) didn't make any money doing hardcore. Later, in the 1980s, Candy returned to doing hardcore films. Candy was a feature dancer for many years (1970s to 1990s) and later appeared in several hardcore films in the 1980s. She has had a monthly column, Candy's Column, in Juggs magazine for a number of years. Candy has retired from the dancing circuit and from films. Toward the end of her career, it was obvious that she had had her breasts enlarged (taking her measurements up to 48EE) and plastic surgery on her face to reduce an aquiline nose. A natural brunette, she often wore blonde (both yellow and platinum) wigs for photos, movies and on the dancing circuit. Candy has been immortalized by the Zodiac Killers in the song, I Want A Girl Just Like Candy Samples According to a recent Candy's Column in Juggs magazine, Candy is reportedly "happily married and happily retired."

Improve Your Body's Shape
Laser Liposuction Leesburg, Ashburn, Reston
Diet and exercise are the ideal ways to achieve a slender, toned physique, but they may fall short of delivering the results you desire. Weight fluctuations, aging, heredity and pregnancy can lead to stubborn accumulations of fat that cannot be eliminated with even the most rigorous fitness routine. When this is the case, liposuction provides a valuable solution by removing excess fat, as well as slimming and reshaping the body. Liposuction can be performed alone, or in conjunction with breast reductions, body lifts, or tummy tuck procedures. To achieve a smoother silhouette with liposuction, contact Dr. Mountcastle in Ashburn, Leesburg, or Reston today.
Who Is a Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is a procedure designed to shape and tighten the body by removing pockets of localized fat. However, it is not intended as a weight loss surgery. The ideal candidates for liposuction should
- Be at an average or slightly above-average weight, and in overall good health
- Have pockets of stubborn, localized fat that are resistant to diet and exercise
- Have good skin elasticity, although this is now beginning to be less important with the advances of laser procedures such as SmartLipo™
It is also important that candidates for liposuction have realistic expectations of the surgery, which will be discussed thoroughly during the preliminary consultation with Dr. Mountcastle.
The Liposuction Procedure
While anesthesia is always used during the liposuction procedure, the level of sedation varies with the technique being performed and the amount of fat requiring removal. The vast majority of Dr. Mountcastle's liposuction is now SmartLipo™ laser liposuction, which he performs in the office using a local anesthesia. A small amount of relaxation pills are usually given to control anxiety. Patients are extremely comfortable during the procedure, and being able to perform this procedure with the patient awake allows for a much better final result. The patient can work in concert with the doctor, rolling and changing positions to allow better sculpting. The patient will also not have to deal with the side effects of general anesthesia.
When performing the traditional liposuction procedure, Dr. Mountcastle will make several discreet incisions in order to access the excess fat located in pockets between the skin and muscle. Once the necessary incisions have been made, a sterile, diluted numbing fluid known as tumescent solution will be infused into the area being treated in order to prevent bleeding. A thin, hollow, stainless steel tube known as a cannula is then inserted and moved in a controlled series of back and forth motions in order to dislodge excess fat. The loosened fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum, suction pump, or syringe attached to the cannula. Traditional liposuction is typically performed in the hospital when combined with a procedure such as tummy tuck. Hospitals in general do not have laser liposuction machines due to their costs.
SmartLipo Laser Liposuction
For patients seeking a less invasive way to remove unwanted fat and recontour their bodies, Dr. Mountcastle is proud to offer SmartLipo™ laser liposuction at his Leesburg, Reston, Ashburn and Fairfax locations. Being the medical director of Radiance Medspa in Fairfax, Dr. Mountcastle performs a majority of his laser liposuction at this location.
Because the system uses laser energy to destroy fat cells and promoting collagen deposition for a tighter, more toned appearance, SmartLipo™ provides a minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction techniques. Laser liposuction only requires a local anesthetic, and recovery time is significantly reduced. Despite the less invasive nature of the procedure, it can usually accomplish your liposuction goals in just one visit. Although having liposuction performed under local anesthesia is not for everyone, the vast majority of patients complain of minimal discomfort during the procedure and many return to treat other areas.
During the SmartLipo™ procedure, a cannula is inserted through the necessary incision site. A laser attached to the cannula emits energy that dissolves fat more easily than traditional liposuction methods, allowing it to be easily drained away. The result is less bruising, less swelling, and post-procedural downtime. One of the main benefits of SmartLipo™ MPX is that it has two different wavelengths of laser, each designed to perform different functions. One wavelength is used to melt fat, while the other tightens the skin and increases collagen deposition. To learn more about this innovative alternative to traditional liposuction, contact Dr. Mountcastle today.
Because liposuction is often performed as an outpatient procedure, the recovery time is relatively short. Patients are able to return to work within a matter of days, and resume normal activities within approximately two weeks. Bruising and swelling is expected after surgery, and Dr. Mountcastle will prescribe any medications that may be necessary to manage discomfort. The full results of the liposuction procedure will be apparent after several months.
Maintaining Liposuction Results
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body, which means that if you gain weight after the procedure, it will not accumulate in the same localized deposits. However, although fat is permanently removed, the procedure itself will not prevent you from regaining weight. It is important to maintain your attractive new shape with a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
Learn More about Liposuction
If diet and exercise are not achieving the tight, toned appearance you desire, you may benefit from liposuction. Contact our Ashburn, Leesburg, or Reston practice to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mountcastle, who prides himself on providing patients throughout Northern Virginia with exceptional results.

That's the best answer - true and total escapism from the daily routine.Originally Posted by foreverducky, post: 250854
For us living in a sometimes-harsh winter climate, it's also a break from the long, cold winters we have here in Minnesota.
I could never go to Florida/Disney from May to December. Why? WE have great summer weather here. We put up with 4-5 months of winter to have 5-6 months of summer and fall! I would never trade our low humidity 80-90 degree summer weather for Florida's higher temps and high humidity!
For us, it's the winter escape. One week of wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the middle of winter season is a great escape from reality and gives you hope that winter will soon be over!

An object has an intrinsic identity within the computer. You could think of this identity as the pointer to the object; but this is an approximation at best. Some languages expose the numeric value of that pointer, and some don't. Others allow an object to have more than one address. So, although an object is a tuple, the notion of a key as one of the fields of the tuple that uniquely identifies the tuple, is not part of OO.

ABA Approved Since 1969
Northeastern University
School of Law offers the nation�??s premier
Cooperative Legal Education Program, combining rigorous academic study with
practical legal work experience. The law school is accredited by the ABA and is a member of
the AALS.
Northeastern�??s unique approach to legal education attracts a diverse and
talented student body. Admission to the School of Law
is highly competitive. More than 3,000 applicants from across he nation and world compete for approximately 200 seats in
the first-year class. Entering students come from all parts of the country,
with more than 124 undergraduate schools and 26 tates currently represented. Women have comprised at
least half of the student body since 1972 - currently women comprise 59% of the
entering class. Additionally, students of color constitute approximately 28% of
the entering class and the average age is 25. Forty-eight percent had worked
for one to three years between undergraduate school and law school and fourteen
percent entered law school with at least six years of work experience, in a
variety of fields. This diverse student body appeals to employers seeking to
enhance their own diversity.
graduates are consistently successful in obtaining legal employment. Graduates of
the School of Law
are employed throughout the United
States and abroad with private firms, government
agencies, legal services, public defender and advocacy organizations, the judiciary,
labor unions and corporate law departments. They are also faculty members of
many distinguished law schools.
Northeastern University School of Law and its graduates are particularly
committed to public service and each year a significant number of graduates
from the School
of Law begin their legal
careers as judicial clerks. Traditionally, Northeastern graduates have entered
public interest law positions at a rate three to five times that of the
national average for graduates of all law schools. Northeastern graduates are
consistently successful at obtaining prestigious public interest fellowships,
and in recent years include those granted by Equal Justice Works, the Center for
Reproductive Rights, National Women�??s Law Center,
the ACLU and the SEIU. Recent graduates have also began
their careers in the US Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange
Honors programs.
in the school�??s unique and extraordinarily successful Cooperative Legal Education
Program ( 9 co-op 9 ) is an integral part of the
academic regimen as well as a graduation requirement. Students complete a
traditional first year of academic study; then, for the remaining two years,
they alternate every three months between attending classes and working as
full-time legal interns. Co-op employment spans virtually every area of
practice in more than 800 settings nationwide, including private firms (large,
medium and small), legal service and public defender organizations, judicial
internships (state and federal), government agencies, corporations, unions and
advocacy groups. Many students also develop co-ops abroad in both the public
and private law realms.
As a
result of co-op, students develop practical skills through hands-on experience,
gain wide perspectives on the legal profession and the practice of law, and
experience firsthand the diversity of opportunities, challenges and
satisfactions that are available to them as lawyers. Northeastern believes that
the combination of its academic and co-op program produces enthusiastic,
realistic and well-trained attorneys who are assets to the profession.
In order
to provide a strong foundation for Northeastern�??s
experiential learning focus, Legal Skills in Social Context (LSSC) is a
required first year course which delivers fundamental research and writing
training while it challenges participants�?? values and helps sensitize them to the
formidable task the legal system faces in addressing societal difference.
Research and writing are introduced in carefully controlled hypotheticals.
Simultaneously, the course provides students with the opportunity to develop
team lawyering skills grounded in readings and
supported by simulations. During the second semester of the first year, all
first year students are assigned to a 9 law office 9 and participate in a
closely supervised clinical experience representing and assisting a non-profit
community based organization in solving a societal problem involving issues of
diversity and law. Each law office team is responsible for producing a
publishable report detailing its findings with extensive legal and anecdotal
field research. Each student also produces a brief and argues a motion for
summary judgement in a simulated case. This mix of
theory and practice, real client and imagined, provides the foundation for Northeastern�??s unique requirements for work and classroom
limited enrollment of approximately 200 students in each entering class
encourages individual recognition and participation, as well as ensuring access
to the 34 full-time faculty members. The distinguished faculty provides
students with a thorough grounding in legal doctrine, legal analysis and
practical skills, coupled with an exposure to a variety of perspectives based
on years of legal practice. Northeastern�??s wide range
of course offerings introduces students to areas such as environmental law,
intellectual property, bioethics, international law, comparative law, legislation, antitrust and domestic violence.
In addition, all students must fulfill a public interest
requirement as a condition of graduation. Public interest under this rule is
defined as employment or service with a government agency; a legal aid, legal
services, public defender, victim advocate or similar agency; an organization or
attorney advocating law reform or performing pro bono legal representation; or
any placement the dominant characteristic of which is service to
under-represented groups. Judicial internships and private firms operated for
profit are not included in this definition. The requirement can be satisfied by
a student successfully completing one 385 hour public interest co-op, one of
the law school�??s clinical program, or one 30 hour pro bono legal project.
The School of Law has no alphabetic or numeric grading
system, class ranking or law review competition. Students receive narrative
evaluations of their work in each academic course; cooperative employers also
submit written appraisals of professional performance which become a part of
each student�??s official transcript. This system, unlike traditional grading
systems, helps employers thoroughly evaluate candidates by providing an
extensive law school record that indicates clearly the quality of each student�??s
Berkowitz Law Library, located on five floors in the Knowles
Law Center,
includes a comprehensive collection of U.S. legal materials in print and
electronically. Of particular note are the library�??s collection in the areas of
public interest law, international human rights, law and public health,
domestic violence, death penalty issues and progressive lawyering.
The law library�??s print collection includes almost 300,000 volumes. The growing
electronic collection includes Lexis, Westlaw, HeinOnline, BNA and CCH electronic collections, the
U.S. Congressional Serial Set (1817-1980) and numerous other legal databases.
The law library is host to three computer labs, network connections for
laptops, and a wireless network on the 4th floor of the library.

Most children love to play outside! There are endless games to be played and many things to be discovered outdoors. Furthermore, here is a list of 6 fun activites to try with your kids.
Name-It Ball: Have the kids form a circle. You can also draw a circle using chalk to make it visible to all the players. Give one player a bal.l (could be a rubber ball or bouncy ball) The person who you give the ball to gets to choose a category such as "candy." Then he or she bounces the ball to another player in the circle, who must catch the ball after one bounce. That child must say something that belongs that category. For example, the category was candy so the child could say something like, "skittles, lilipops, m& m's." They then bounce the ball to the next player. If the player can't name an item, holds the ball too long, or repeats an item, he or she is must step outside the circle and is out of the game until it starts over again.
Hopscotch: All you need is some sidewalk chalk to make the picture shown above. You can make up your own rules depending on the age of the child. Here is a set of rules you can go by but you can tweak it however you want. First, you want to get some kind of marker to throw (for example a stone, coin or bean bag). The first player throws the marker in the first square. The player then hops on through the course, skipping the square with the marker in it. The single squares must be hopped on with only one foot. You can start with any foot you want. With the side by side squares you hop in the squares landing with both feet. When reaching the last square, the player must turn around and return through the course (square 9, then squares 7 & 8, next square 6 and so forth) on one or two legs depending on the square. The person continues until he or she reaches the square with their marker. They then must pick up their marker and continue the course without stepping into another players marker.
Next, the player continues his/her turn by tossing the marker into square number two, and repeating the pattern.
If while hopping and the player steps on a line, misses a square, or loses balance, the turn ends and the next player gets to go. Players can begin their turn where they last left off. The first player to complete one course for every numbered square on the court wins the game.
Hide and Seek: Good old hide and seek around the yard can be a fun one! Hiding and finding is a common interest of small children. There are all kinds of variations of this game. Sometimes there is a home base that you can run to and tag, and that is "home base or the safe zone," sometimes you just wait to be found. Whatever way you choose to play, generally one person is "it," and that person closes his or her eyes and counts to a certain number without looking. Then he or she yells out something like, "Okay, I'm ready to find you!" That person tries to find the people that are hiding!
Body Race: Divide the group into two teams. Give each team a blanket. Have one player from each team lie down on the blanket. The teams must drag the blanket with the person from one end of the yard to the other. Whoever crosses the finish line first, wins.
An adventurous nature walk: Take some masking tape and fold it into a circle/bracelet, putting it on your child's wrist. Make sure the sticky part is facing outwards so it doesn't stick to their wrist. Take a walk with your child and let them collect things from your walk like sticks, leaves, grass and flower pedals. They can place those things they collected on their sticky bracelet. By the end of the walk they will have an exciting collection of nature.
Picnic in the park: Pick a fun theme for your picnic. For example, you can plan a beach themed picnic even if you don't live near a beach that's okay you can bring the beach to you and your guests. Have your child plan parts of your picnic, it's great for their imagination too!
A beach theme could include things like a volleyball game, Frisbee, swimming, sandcastles and bonfires. Find a park with some sand and bring buckets, shovels etc.. Does the park have a bonfire pit. If they do make sure to bring some wood. You can also plan all sorts of food. An easy way to go might be fingerfood so you don't have to worry about bringing silverware etc..Good picnic foods include grapes, berries, sandwiches, carrots etc..
Most all kids love being outside and getting some fresh air, so whether you're running through the sprinkler, picking weeds with your kids in the garden or blowing bubbles just spending quality time together is the most important! Have fun!!

Acre resident Hassan Sobach became the latest victim of a "price tag" attack Saturday, when car was vandalized at a parking lot near Nahal Hashofet, in the north of Israel. The vehicle's tires were punctured and graffitied with the words "price tag" and a Star of David. Sobach called the police, who have begun an investigation.

Sobach expressed frustration that the authorities have not put an end such attacks, carried out by extremist Jews opposed to any concessions to the Palestinians or demolition of illegal settlements outposts.
In Yokneam, there has been a string of attacks on Arab and Druze property, including attacks on cars. In one incident, a Star of David was spray painted on the wall of a clinic operated by a Druze dentist in the city.
On Wednesday, two men were arrested for suspected involvement in arson at a mosque in Umm al-Fahm. On Friday, the police reenacted the attack at the mosque in order to film it on the building's security cameras, which had also recorded the suspects fleeing the scene, and compare the two sets of footage.
