Settling for Mediocrity Part 1: Talking vs Cutting a Promo
by, 10-02-2012 at 11:53 PM (27752 Views)
Hey everybody. DK here with a new mini blog series. Meaning that it's not going to be a regular thing. I have two or three ideas now, and may run sequels as things come up but for now, I have these ideas. And Part 1 is going to be my take on mic skills.
You'll notice I affectionately titled this blog "Settling for Mediocrity" because in my mind, that's what we're doing. There's nothing we can do, outside of stop watching wrestling, to change this mediocre product we call the wrestling industry. But, here's my take nonetheless. Everywhere I turn. Whether it's reading comments on news post, blogs, forums, discussions, etc. There's this term that gets thrown around when trying to determine the value of a superstar. That term is "Mic Skills". Now, I firmly agree that mic skills are an important part of being a star, especially in today's wrestling world. I'm going to call some things out here and you may or may not agree with me. But it's all about perception. It's how I perceive things which could be considerably different than how someone else perceives it. But to me, there's a difference between talking and cutting a good promo.
Wade Barrett and Dolph Ziggler are going to be my examples here of people who 'just talk'. Simply put, that's all they do. They just talk. They don't do anything that stands out to me and makes me think, "Wow, they're really good on the mic". Rather, all they do is talk. Compare that to guys like Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, HBK, Jericho, CM Punk, Mick Foley, Edge, Christian, JBL, Hall, Nash, New Age Outlaws...Okay, you obviously get the point. What these guys had were real mic skills. They were smooth. They could work the crowd. They had unbelievable charisma. And everyone wanted to hear them talk, whether it was to cheer them or to boo them. A big thing that's missing today, with guys like Miz, Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, all these future stars.
Now not to completely discredit all of today's stars, I am going to credit several guys in today's wrestling that do have very good mic skills. Santino is one. Everyone is annoyed at him because he's like a joke and a pure comedy act, but let's face it. He can get the crowd going and especially have them laughing. Damien Sandow is probably the best on the mic today outside of Cena and Punk. Cody Rhodes used to be better when he was wearing the protective mask. He had a dark and sinister attitude that made him out to be pretty disturbing, and always got a reaction. Now, he's back to just talking. I honestly enjoyed Heath Slater. He had sort of an old school Jerry Lawler thing going on. The Big Show is another one who was one of the best. Maybe not so much now, but I remember he held his own in a rap off with Cena. He pretty much talks now, but he is very charismatic.
As you can see, the list is pretty short. In my list of stars from before, I didn't exactly cross any generations, so as you can see, the mic skills used to be a big time thing. Now, people just talk and it all sounds the same. The only difference between Sheamus, Barrett, and Ziggler when it comes to their mic work, is their accents.
So where does that leave everything now? Well, I think the ratings speak for themselves. How many times do you think the channel gets changed when Alberto Del Rio is in the ring with a mic in his hand, spouting off about whatever. Or Miz talking about how awesome he is. Or Ziggler bragging about showing off. People don't want to hear them. They're talented wrestlers who work their asses off in the ring and it shows. But I'll be honest, when they grab the mic, it's crickets and a snooze fest. For the future stars of the company, what we have in the mic work department, IS MEDIOCRITY.
I hope you enjoyed this blog. I know it sounds like I'm ranting but I'm really not. I'm just calling it like I see it. I'm sure people have different opinions, but this is my take on it.
Thanks for reading everyone. If you haven't already, become a fan of Voltage Entertainment on Facebook. www.facebook.com/voltageentertainment. We got some great stuff coming out, and I may even produce a weekly wrestling show and get all you guys included with it.
Also, stay tuned for Sudden Impact on Thursday Night.
Be Safe Everyone.

STAFF at a dental practice on Burnley's Stoops estate is all smiles after it has been nominated for three national awards.
Staff at Ravat and Ray Dental Care, in Venice Avenue, have been shortlisted in the team of the year category in The Dental Awards 2014.
Boss Sharon Fletcher is in the running for practice manager of the year, while receptionist Pauline Garandia is up for dental receptionist of the year.
The practice opened in The Fold Centre for Integrated Health and Wellbeing in November 2011.
Mrs Fletcher, one of five staff, said she was 'really pleased' to be in the running for an award.
She said: "It seems almost everyone has something positive to say about Ravat and Ray Burnley.
"The professional dental team have helped many patients overcome fears and phobias which have prevented many from previously visiting the dentist.
"Patients find the dentist, Dr Mudasser Hussain, very professional and approachable. The rest of the team are very friendly and always happy to help."
The awards ceremony will be held at the Lancaster London Hotel on Friday, June 6.
The practice has also won praise for its Smile4Life programme, which involves visits to schools and nurseries in the area.
Mrs Fletcher said: "Ravat and Ray is also proud to be the first dental practice in England to have a Smile4life champion.
"Our dental nurse Zoe Trayford goes out to local early learning settings and works alongside the nursery staff to educate young children on the importance of maintaining good oral health and a healthy, balanced diet.
"Their aim is to educate children at a young age so that they can get into the habit of maintaining good oral health as soon as possible."
In July, staff from the practice are running the Pennine Lancashire 10K in aid of Pendleside Hospice.

A DEBT crisis summit has been organised in Altrincham to help hard pressed businesspeople.
The summit is being held at the town based insolvency practice Lines Henry, in an attempt to reduce debt related suicides and breakdowns.
It follows the recent revelation that Altrincham and Hale were dubbed the 'debt capital of Britain'.
The information was revealed by search engine Google, which revealed that people living in the two affluent areas had made more online enquiries about short-term high-interest payday loans than anywhere else in Britain.
The summit will be organised by the Campaign for Awareness of Mental Illness Among Debtors (CAMIAD), which advises professionals across a broad range of disciplines how to signpost individuals on for the appropriate counselling or medical treatment.
Lines Henry director Neil Henry said: "It may well have come as a surprise to many people to learn that Altrincham, which is thought to be a prosperous area of Trafford, has more people than anywhere else in the country trying to find out more about payday loans.
Mr Henry explained that the revelation meant there was no stereotypical person when it came to money worries.
He added: "It is important to remember that you cannot judge a person's financial position by looking at what car they have or how big their house is.
"You need to look below the surface at how all these things are paid for and whether or not they are actually affordable.
"Money worries are not confined to those on low incomes but also those on higher incomes who may have made poor decisions on how to manage their money."
The summit is being held on September 26, at the practice's head office in Altrincham at Tabley Court, Victoria Street.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/8/2013 (1462 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Two years have passed since my husband left the kids and me. At the time, I literally thought I was going to die. I'm writing to tell people how it feels 730 days since I wanted to end it. Pretty good. Not wonderful, but we're surviving. I thought he was the love of my life. He married me when I was an innocent 24 during his mid-life crisis at 41. We had two children who are now in their teens. I'm nearing 40 now myself. While we were still married, he started an affair with a woman around his age. He finally begged to be "set free" to be with his "true love." He was also married once in his 20s. This new woman will be wife No. 3! His boring old friends in their 60s love her; they never liked me. I recently met a nice man in his 40s myself and, wonder of wonders, the kids like him. I feel my self-confidence returning. I have only one question I obsess about: Do you think there will be a wife No. 4? -- Always Wondering, Winnipeg
Dear Sometimes: People often follow patterns. Your husband may have a pattern of marital dissatisfaction with anybody, a dislike of being stuck with one woman "forever" and a curiosity about new women and what they can offer sexually or emotionally. If that's the case, there may well be a wife No. 4. one day, but now he's that much older, the chance of his moving on is less. But does this stuff really matter? It's time to stop obsessing and invest in your new romance.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts This is in response to the letter you received from A Cry for Help, the lady who witnessed an elderly lady being emotionally abused by her son. There is a Seniors Abuse Line in Winnipeg, a 24/7 toll-free number at 1-888-896-7183, and a government website: gov.mb.ca/shas -- Wanting To Help, Winnipeg
Dear Wanting: Consider your message passed on, and thanks for caring and writing in, as many people will take that information and use it, if necessary. Police also encourage people to call 911 if they are witnessing elder abuse. Anyone can file an incident to investigate now, not just the person being abused. In previous times only the abused person could file, and they were often too afraid to do so.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband drinks two pots of coffee a day. To say he's energetic would be an understatement. But once the day is over, he takes a sleeping pill, apologizes for no sex again, and zonks out. I have pointed out to him what two pots a day can do to his body and what a lack of sex is doing to our love life, but he doesn't seem to care. He's an addict. That coffee is more important to him than his health or his wife's happiness. No one recognizes caffeine as a serious addiction. He doesn't take it seriously when I cry. Should I leave him? -- Loves His Coffee, Not Me, Winnipeg
Dear Coffee: Caffeine is a serious addiction with many serious consequences that need to be brought to his attention. Copy the most simple listing of consequences from a website -- one he can't brush aside -- and present it to him over breakfast coffee. Then tell him the most serious one affecting you is the pill he takes to knock himself out before he's expected in bed to make love to you. There's a lot more going on here than a caffeine problem. It's time for marriage counselling. Tell him you're not willing to live as platonic roommates with him and your marriage is in crisis. Then make the first appointment for help, even if it's only you who goes.

Anxiety and Stress Disorders (Children)
Eyelash Pulling and Bipolar Disorder
My niece is 7 years old. She was but on Methylin (spelling?) without the proper testing for bipolar. Her Mom went and spoke to her pediatrician and told them numerous things about her. Without seeing her, he put her on this medication. Her mother decided one day she didn`t need it anymore and took her off of it. She has been on several different mood stabilizers and anti-depressants. She took her off of them. She has twisted out all of her eyelashes and started pulling out her eyebrows. She is uncontrollable, when before she was a normal kid. Could it be possible that she never needed these medications and they are causing her to act out and pull her hair out?
Eyelash pulling is a "nervous habit" which is not uncommon in children, but it may or may not be related to anxiety per se. Methylphenidate is a stimulant which is approved for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
I cannot speak to the accuracy of her diagnosis. If you are concerned about either the medication regimen or the diagnosis, I would suggest that the child be evaluated by a mental health professional familiar with childhood behavioral problems.

Keep the Light On
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — March 2003
After you read the tales of piracy in John S. Burnett's Dangerous Waters: Modern Piracy and Terror on the High Seas, you probably won't want to go above decks in the dark anytime soon.
In 1992, Burnett was traveling solo across the South China Sea aboard his 32-foot sloop Unicorn, when she was boarded by a group of Indonesian pirates. Handing over what little he had onboard, Burnett escaped the ordeal with a nothing more than a rifle-butt-induced headache. This encounter led him to investigate 21st-century piracy. The resulting book delves into the fateful voyages aboard the pirate-prone tanker Petro Concord, which was attacked by pirates twice in 2000. He also details his time onboard a Very Large Crude Carrier and addresses the proactive measures being taking to combat these modern plunderers.
Dangerous Waters is available at most major bookstores for $24.95.

Be inspired by the best creative work from around the world.
In 1995 we set out to create a new kind of network.That was international from birth.That was built through start-ups rather than acquisition.Where the local management has local equity.Twenty-one years later, M&C Saatchi's unique structure, philosophy and culture has produced:A network of twenty-five agencies in all major cities and territories.And nine specialist companies.A federation of entrepreneurs who are free to grow, innovate and create.Who work better together because we are like each other and like each other.
London. 3rd February 2016. M&C Saatchi has created an integrated campaign to drive the relaunch of East Midlands Trains establishing a stronger identity for the brand and deeper engagement with the passengers and communities they serve. he campaign, entitled, Trains on the outside. People on the inside, will run from 3rd February, leading with regional TV. There will be three different TV ads running for several weeks; all based on heart-warming true stories and customer experiences of East Midlands Trains' service.
With East Midlands Trains having reached a key milestone in successfully negotiating an extension to its franchise, M&C Saatchi, along with partner agencies LIDA and Blue449, were tasked with creating a new marketing initiative to refresh the brand, drive awareness and ultimately increase passenger volumes.
This new integrated campaign sees M&C Saatchi convey the message that East Midlands Trains has evolved significantly as a business, moving from a traditional rail operator approach which focuses rigidly on infrastructure and logistics to being genuinely customer service-led. The TV ads highlight this through charming animated stories, detailing the compassionate values that EMT employees have, and are encouraged to act on. The first of the TV ads affectionately retells the real-life story of a child leaving their teddy on a train and becoming very upset. After seeing this, an East Midlands Trains employee replaces the lost teddy with a similar one she happens to have at home.
The campaign will also run across print, radio, online, social and OOH.
Kate Squires, Group Marketing Manager at East Midlands Trains, said: "We've recently announced that our franchise will be continuing to at least March 2018 and as part of that, we're investing around £13 million in a package of customer improvements. It's really important to us that our customers know how much we value them and the ways in which we can make their travelling experience a whole lot more enjoyable. We have some great people at East Midlands Trains, and by working with M&C Saatchi, we've managed to get across some important messages about our people and the service we offer to our customers."
Matt Hennell, Senior Account Director at M&C Saatchi, said: "As so many of us would agree, a great day should start with a great train journey, and with East Midlands Trains this is often the case. With this relaunch we wanted to encapsulate this while bringing to life the friendly characteristics of the East Midlands Trains brand and service. Having heard so many of the warming experiences people have had with this service, it was hard to single out which to focus on. But these three stories stood out, each having a particularly warm and human aspect to them.
This is the first ATL campaign since 2011 following M&C Saatchi winning the East Midlands Trains advertising account in April 2008.

The Crap We Missed – Friday 5.16.14
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed where we're kicking off the weekend with some barely legal sideboob and why not, really? We've traveled so far down into the celebrity bunghole that we're now analyzing their boogers, so the answer is no, there is no bottom here. That said, enjoy Clown Tits (That's her name now, we're all in agreement.) showing of her clown nipples, Hugh Jackman going for the awkward kiss of the century award, and Kristen Stewart holding a baby goat because it's so cute and not-at-all because it will lick anything and fits easily into the backseat of any vehicle.
Almost forgot Jimmy Jellinek. That's a real thing that exists in your life now. I'm just going to let that simmer,

Pre-participation physical examinations help ensure the health and safety of children as they participate in sports.

Did you know?
Maluti is the Sotho word for Drakensberg - the highest mountain range in southern Africa.
The Maluti Cave Route Trail nudges the Lesotho border in the eastern Free State, a stone's throw from the imposing Drakensberg Mountains.
It's one of the few hiking trails in the Free State's Phuthaditjaba area, and takes in the rolling valleys of the Kgotjwane River before climbing up the foothills of the Drakensberg escarpment to look-out points some 2 500m above sea level. As the name suggests, the trail is home to several caves, including the massive Wetsi Cave and several smaller caverns featuring original San (bushman) rock art, dating back thousands of years.
The trail starts at Tseki, just outside Phuthaditjaba, and branches out east and west into circular trails that can be done either independently or as part of the greater four-day trail. Although most of the route is suitable for hikers of moderate fitness, there are some sections that are rated difficult, and therefore only appropriate for experienced hikers.
On the 9km trail from Tseki to Thabaputswa chalet you'll pass the Wetsi Cave and several water features, including clear mountain pools and a waterfall. You can overnight here before setting out on one of three trails – back to Tseki camp along the 10km river route; proceeding along the guided 5.5km Drakensberg route 850m up to Dagga Nek (with breathtaking views down the Tsehlanyane Gorge and waterfall); or advancing along to the Matsieng chalet and the Thabana-Tshowana Dam.
You'll have ample time to take in the stunning landscape, with scenic lunch spots and rest stops dotted along the route. There's also abundant birdlife in the area, with a hide at Thabana-tshowana Dam providing the perfect place for birdwatching and photographic opportunities.
Accommodation on the Maluti Cave Route Trail is provided in four, eight-sleeper chalets, complete with a bathroom (and hot running water), lounge and kitchen with wood stove and gas plate.
The trail is accredited by the South African Hiking Trail Owners' Association (SAHTOA) and the Hiking Federation of South Africa (HFSA).
Nearby attractions include the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, the Sterkfontein Dam Nature Reserve and Royal Natal National Park.

Hi, I am new in social media.i am not undastand that how can i work in social media? Please help me.If you interest visit in <snip>
Your question is kind of broad but I'll try and answer it. If you are looking to work in social media for a company, many like to hire those with experience in PR. It is typically communications departments within companies that look for these sorts of professionals.
If you are thinking of going it alone, you can offer marketing work for small businesses using social media.
Here are some more ideas for you,
Just and FYI, if you are just getting into social media I'm not sure you will have much luck finding a job doing it professionally.
Seriously, if you are looking to work in social sites for a company, then try to hire more and more likes on your posts, status, etc.
There are positions for social media managers, however, I don't think that as such has a promising future in terms of a career path. If all the social media platforms decide to shut down one day, you are out of a job. However, social media along with some other designation makes more sense. Content writer and social media manager, for example. Any business would need people to produce quality content at any given point of time. So if you can get into content, marketing or design and do social media marketing along with that, you are likely to contribute more usefully to the organization and you will have a better sense of satisfaction plus your contribution would be more valued long-term.
Creating different social media profiles and you need to gather different people and actively participate in discussions and should build more followers , you need to post fresh and updated content which attracts users and drives good traffic.
Check their "careers" page.
You can find openings in Social media industry on major job sites and for this you should be well prepared according to their requirements.
If you want to popular social media accounts then Be active on Social media accounts on daily basis..If you that then you can promote your business easily...
Create accounts on various social media sites and share your website's information like blogs and articles on that.
Hello friends,
If you want work on social media, Then I suggest you you improve our follower and increase like and also use most social site for you business.
Look for local web design agenecies, they are always working with social media one way or another.
Try to work on facebook pages, twitter and pinterest google it and you will learn how to do it
LinkedIn can provide you with information about companies looking to hire Social media experts. If you are just starting with social media - try to create some pages and profiles of things that you find interesting and maintain them for a while to get the hang of it. If you are doing good (getting likes, followers etc.) try contacting a local small busineses which are ready to outsource to a freelancer. And when you have the needed experience and portfolio - you can try for something bigger. I am saying this because most sompanies are hiring folks with 3+ years of eperience and degrees in marketing. Keep this in mind.
You open a account in various social media sites. Just make a page for your business and post daily in your account wall for your business, idea, products.
I certainly hope that you're wrong - I'm a Community & Social Media Manager.
In social media work to first of all create account and save correct information about your business or your self.and share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks.In this you can follow targeted audience and make a friend,and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content.
I'd say the poster is very much wrong. As you and I know, social has been around long before the networks and the idea of interaction, well that's not going away any time soon. I do think the role will morph further into a communications part of companies working across teams and products (kind of like how you don't just work on the community side of SPF but seem to talk product, content, etc).
This of course relates back to the OP because, one it means a future job, and two it should be an indicator to get involved beyond the tactics. Knowing how to tweet may get you an interview but it won't build a social career... Getting why you tweet, why a company could benefit from it, and why the customer cares, now that's how you work in social and build something.
As for making it into a job... get experience. Not just as a user but running / moderating a community, operating a page, working or becoming a content creator (blogger if you will) and if you aspire for a bigger role, then as an intern. Social roles are like any other job: experience counts. Since they're so visible experience must be as well.
I've run social teams and am considered a social strategist at times so obviously biased here but glad to dive in deeper if it helps...
Yeah - that is where I see the line between the Community & Social Media aspects of my job. Part of SM is definitely brand management, as well as marketing. It's not the part that I prefer though....
It is very easy to use social media to work and no need any help,an it is very useful to promote the business for business purpose.
Being Active on social media requires calculated efforts. However, this may as simple in the beginning you must put in efforts to engage people sharing common interest. merely having an account is not enough. There are millions of fake accounts that popup and destroy everyday on different social media websites. So, you must be aware of the technical knowledge that is required by the site.

Last Saturday I found a $1.50 pork chop in the clearance bin at the grocery store so I bought it and hit it with some Weber seasoned salt.
There was also a small, already-rubbed rib section for $2.50 so I grabbed it as well.
I used hardwood briquettes alone and didn't bother with any smoke wood. The ribs grilled indirect for awhile at around 350 and when they were looking good I put the chop directly over the coals.
Mrs. Chicken had bought a big bunch of asparagus for $3 at the farmers' market so I diced half of it and added an 8-oz. package of white mushrooms that I bought on sale for 99 cents. Seasoning was simple; just olive oil, salt, and pepper.
For $6.49 plus a few pennies for the salt, oil, and whatnot we ate pretty darn good!

text: Woman pleads guilty to manslaughter in boyfriend's death By Zac Taylor January 18, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Charleston woman accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend pleaded guilty Friday to reduced charges in light of an autopsy that revealed that a medical procedure caused the man's death.Stacey McCormick, 30, who was originally charged with murder, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the stabbing of her boyfriend, David Snyder, 50.Snyder died in CAMC General Hospital in August, three days after the two had an altercation in a West Side home.Kanawha County assistant prosecutor Dan Holstein said Friday that, according to medical examiners, Snyder's 1.5-inch stab wound was "healing just fine" -- but when doctors removed a tube they placed in Snyder's chest, he began to bleed internally."He would not have died but for the bleeding where the chest tube was removed," Holstein said, citing the medical examiner's report.Snyder checked out of the hospital on Aug. 19, against his doctor's orders, McCormick's lawyer, John Sullivan, said during a September bail hearing. Snyder died later that day.On Aug. 16, police responded to a call at 1506 Washington Ave. and met with Snyder, who was bleeding from his chest, according to the original criminal complaint.McCormick told police that she stabbed her boyfriend during an argument. She was later charged with malicious wounding. Sullivan also has said that, during the dispute, McCormick was upset and Snyder was trying to prevent her from leaving. That information was relayed to police by McCormick's brother, who was the only other person at the house at the time, Sullivan said.Sullivan declined to comment Friday.When Snyder was admitted to the hospital, doctors installed a tube on one side of his chest, according to Holstein. The tube was removed three days later, when Snyder was released.Holstein said the state could show only a "causal relationship" between the stab wound and Snyder's death. Based on the autopsy report, which cited internal bleeding as the cause of death, they could not prove that McCormick intended to kill him.Snyder's mother, Delores, said the family does not agree with the plea."If she hadn't stabbed him, he wouldn't be in the hospital," Delores Snyder said. "I'm just not happy with the situation at all."Snyder said her son did not voluntarily leave the hospital the day that he died. He was discharged and sent home in a wheelchair and family was not there to pick him up, she said. He did not have medical insurance, his mother said. McCormick faces up to a year in prison when she is sentenced March 1.Reach Zac Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5189.

Nichol's Landing Paddling Trail Launch Set for April 30
SPRING BRANCH, Texas — Paddling and nature enthusiasts will celebrate the official opening of the newest Texas Paddling Trail in scenic Spring Branch April 30.
Officials from the Water Oriented Recreation District of Comal County (WORD), the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority (GBRA) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Nichol's Landing at 10 a.m., Wednesday, with refreshments following.
After the ceremony, guests are invited to paddle the initial 5-mile stretch of the Nichol's Landing trail for a chance to experience the river first hand. A limited number of canoes will be provided, and private equipment is welcomed. Shuttle service also will be provided back to the starting point.
The initial stretch of the trail begins at Nichol's Landing, flows through beautiful scenic areas and gentle rapids, and ends at the bridge at Farm-to-Market Road 311. An additional section continues on past FM 311 to Rebecca Creek Crossing, for a total trail length of 9.9 miles. This section of the upper Guadalupe River becomes the state's sixth inland paddling trail, and is characterized by clear, cold water over a limestone bed.
"In a state that's about 94 percent privately owned, public waterways are important," said TPWD Nature Tourism Coordinator Shelly Plante. "We want to help people learn where they can access rivers in our partner communities."
The Nichol's Landing Paddling trail is the result of work by WORD spanning several years. The Nichol's Landing trail joins the Goliad Paddling Trail (San Antonio River), Luling Zedler Mill Paddling Trail (San Marcos River), the Columbus Paddling Trail and the Bastrop-El Camino Real Paddling Trail (Colorado River), and the Victoria Paddling Trail-Riverside Park (Guadalupe River) and seven coastal paddling trails.
As part of TPWD's Texas Paddling Trails network, the Nichol's Landing Paddling Trail will include highway signage, maintained put-in and take-out locations, and interpretive information and maps to help visitors get the most out of a day on the water.
"Designating this stretch as a paddling trail will help show people the natural beauty of the area, and afford them the opportunity to enjoy a serene experience on the water," stated W.O.R.D. Manager Mike Dussere, "It is one of the most peaceful floats I've ever experienced. Flows on the Upper Guadalupe can vary wildly depending on rainfall, but the majority of the time, it's slow and quiet."
"We are especially proud that two of the six inland paddling trails in Texas are located along segments of the Guadalupe River," said GBRA General Manager Bill West. "The demand for trails are proof-positive that people are eager to enjoy our beautiful river and Mother Nature at her best."

It was cause for celebration at Le Bistrot Pierre on Brook Street, Ilkley, when lucky customer Mary Hamilton won £150.
"We have our own exclusive Christmas crackers," said manager, Richard Paterson. "We've put thousands of pounds worth of gift vouchers into the crackers, so some customers, like Mary, will have more to celebrate than they are expecting."

RECYCLING more will become the New Year resolution for households across the borough as rubbish collections become fortnightly.
Councillors approved plans to move to an alternative weekly waste collection which will see black bins collected one week and blue bins another week.
Signalling the change Clr David Keane (LAB - Penketh and Cuerdley), executive board member for environment and public protection, said: "This is something two thirds of councils already do. Perhaps we have been a bit remiss not joining on this one earlier.
"More than 2,000 tonnes of waste would be diverted into recycling bins. People are pushed to take more waste from their black bin and put it in their blue bin. It changes residents attitudes to recycling."
He told an executive board meeting on Monday the changes would not result in compulsory redundancies for front line staff and instead the council would not rely on agency staff as much.
And Clr Keane said Eric Pickles scheme to offer grants to councils to keep weekly collections was not viable because funding was for three years but councils had to keep running weekly collections for five years - losing out on annual savings of an estimated £900,000 a year.
The council will now seek the public's views on how to bring in the changes.
Clr Keane added: "There will be some demand for second bins, we are prepared to consider these applications but they may be subject to waste mini audits."
Council leader Clr Terry O'Neill added: "We are trying to encourage more people to recycle and compost. I'm sure the majority of people understand, most people's black bins aren't full enough to put out every week.
"We have a waste strategy in place and we can confidently convince our residents to do this."
Clr Ian Marks, leader of the Lib Dem Group on the council said he could understand the change to save money.
But he criticised how Labour had gone about it: "They appear to be imposing the change on the public without proper consultation. Their questionnaire does little more than ask people what problems they would have. This is typical Labour arrogance.
"They need to sell the scheme to those areas where there are much lower levels of recycling."
Clr Marks also called on Labour to raise its ambitions on recycling rates to more than the 55 per cent aim for 2020 from 43 per cent now.
A further report to the executive board on the changes will be heard in February.

In keeping with my recent HTTP theme, I want to provide an update on a change to HTTP content encoding supporting in AIR 2.0.3, which has just been released.
The HTTP protocol permits server and clients to agree on encoding a document for transfer. For text and XML documents, this can significantly reduce transfer time, as they typically compress well.
Prior to the AIR 2.0.3 update, AIR supported gzip and flate encodings only on Mac OS and Linux. On Mac OS, this was a result of using the default OS HTTP stack, which supports those encodings by default. On Linux, which has no default HTTP stack, we implemented direct support for these options.
On Windows, the capability was not available because AIR uses the OS HTTP stack, but Windows did not support these encodings prior to Vista. Therefore, AIR could not depend on this capability being present and did not enable it. Developers could work around this by managing the HTTP content encoding header themselves and performing the decompression in ActionScript, although that's not a particularly fun option to implement.
As of the AIR 2.0.3 release, we've added support for gzip and flate encoding for all versions of Windows, thus bringing it to parity with Mac OS and Linux. This change applies to all applications using the 2.0 (and later) namespaces. Applications using the 2.0 namespace will automatically benefit from this change when run on the 2.0.3 and later runtime; there is no need to re-publish.

Much is being made of Starbucks' plan to open an outlet in Ho Chi Minh City in February – "taking on Vietnam's coffee culture", as the FT headline has it.
In fact, Starbucks is a little behind schedule – it intended to open in Vietnam in 2012 – and, in any case, I wonder if the significance of the move is not in the headline but in the small print, where the Seattle-based group makes its now familiar commitment to "work closely with local farming communities".

By popular demand, here's the new Miley Cyrus sex doll with it's not-at-all-creepy-product-name "Finally Mylie!" According to The Sun, it sold out within 48 hours of going on sale, so I believe I speak for a deeply concerned America when I say, "They're all in Billy Ray's End Times Bunker* next to the Corn Pops and taco mix.

Topic: Hi CC family!!
Hi to all my cc family,
Hope you are all ok. It has been a long time since I posted but I promise I do check in on the site often. Often from my phone so it's more difficult to post. The last few days in the UK have been wet, wet, wet so I'm curled up by the fire on the laptop.
It's been 21 months since I lost my precious Dad and I really don't know where that time as gone. Writing it down it seems a long time but it feels like only yesterday. This year has been worse, perhaps because the first year seemed to be a haze. It will be Dads 65th birthday next month and of course Christmas. This year, for the first time in my 37 years we will be having Christmas at our house with Mom and Nan. Nan is 85 and still very active, she has always cooked Christmas dinner but it's so hard seeing Dads empty chair at the table so we are having a change of location. Nan will probably still help though, I don't think she will be able to trust us with the Turkey lol. I am looking forward to putting the tree up and decorating the house and Christmas table!
Mom is still up and down, birthdays and Christmas are hard, as many of you know, so at the moment she is a bit down. The dark, damp weather doesn't help either. BUT she has made lots of progress and I am really proud of her. My husband has been wonderful with Mom to, he certainly has kept his promise to Dad that he would look after her.
My son is now 11 and at secondary school, which he loves, so that is a relief! He loves the fact Dad went to the same school. He's still keeping me on my toes!!
Lainy, from your question on the other post, yes Jacket Potatoes are potatoes cooked in the oven with skin on, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.
I managed to meet up with Julia and Liz from the site, which was lovely. We had a lovely time and I'm sure there will be many more get togethers.
Dads work friends are holding another Charity Quiz night in Dads memory next month, in total we have raised £3400 ish for AMMF, Dad would have been overwhelmed by this and it's lovely that they are keeping his memory alive, though how could we ever forget such a wonderful man.
Take care and hugs to everyone of you

TEN-year-old Tabitha Wood, of Burley-in-Wharfedale, is celebrating after winning four piano classes and subsequently being awarded two prizes - the Ashbrook Memorial Trophy, and the Kitching Memorial prize, a cheque for £50 - at the Wharfedale Festival of Speech and Drama for the most promising young pianist under 12.
Tabitha won the ten and under class, the fourteen and under class, the ten and under duet and the ten and under trio at the festival. She was invited to pay at the Celebration Concert at Christchurch earlier this month and played Allegro in G by Mozart . She was given her prizes by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire Roger Whittaker at that concert.
Tabitha attends Giggleswick school where she recently won the Giggleswick Young Musician of the Year for the second year running. She loves piano, and plays the cello and sings as well.
She has had an exciting month as she has qualified her little dapple grey Welsh pony for both the Royal International horse show at Hickstead next month and the Horse of the Year Show at the NEC in October.


text: Nick Karasch 171 Report post Posted December 28, 2012 I'm trying to learn the modern, full programmable OpenGL using LWJGL. At the moment I know how to parse files for models, use them in VBOs and draw them to the screen. I also have a first-person style camera that lets me freely move around and look at whatever I want. Is glLight completely out of date? All lighting should be done with shaders, right? I know how to apply shaders to models, is there a way to create a fragment shader that acts on everything? Is that the modern approach to light? My render code for models looks like this: glPushMatrix(); glRotatef(rotation, rx, ry, rz); glTranslatef(x, y, z); glScalef(sx, sy, sz); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbos[0]); glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbos[1]); glNormalPointer(GL_FLOAT, 0, 0L); glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glEnableClientState(GL_NORMAL_ARRAY); glUseProgram(shaderProgram); glColor4f(r, g, b, 1f); glMaterialf(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_SHININESS, 10f); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, model.getFaces().size() * 3); glUseProgram(0); glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glDisableClientState(GL_NORMAL_ARRAY); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0); glPopMatrix(); Am I enabling and disabling the shader program at the correct times? Are glColor4f and glMaterialf worthless if shaders are used properly? Am I pushing and popping the matrix at the right time? Thanks! I've read a lot but even with my Linear Algebra experience a lot of the math is hard to visualize. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The coverage of Adair Turner's Mansion House speech has rightly focused on his radical ideas for jolting the UK back to growth. But it has also added cheekily to the canon of musical metaphors about the financial crisis:
Remember Chuck Prince of Citigroup, and his comment to the FT in 2007, just before it all went bad?
"When the music stops, in terms of liquidity, things will be complicated. But as long as the music is playing, you've got to get up and dance. We're still dancing."

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix together, in a medium bowl, the quinoa, parsley, garlic, black eyed peas, sunflower seeds, red pepper, celery, lemon juice and shoyu. Lightly oil the squash skin, with Eden Safflower Oil, to prevent splitting. Stuff each squash half with the quinoa stuffing. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice over each stuffed squash. Place on a baking sheet, cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until the squash is tender.
The squash may be steamed for 45 minutes instead of baking. Any Eden Beans may be substituted for Black Eyed Peas.

Grand Scale,
I just did a search and discovered this is also the Buffalo Wing thread from weeks ago. We made the wings this weekend and they were great. I still have a few adjustments to make like reducing the margarine and increasing the garlic. I know they'll be even better the second time around. This is the first time I've ever attempted buffalo wings and I just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration.

Venture capital investors appear to be growing increasingly wary of European companies. In 2011, they put just E4.4bn into 1,012 start-ups in the region, a 14 per cent drop from the previous year, according to Dow Jones VentureSource.
This was the lowest annual deal count since Dow Jones began tracking investments in Europe in 2000. Read more

Big Freeze theory reported in ScienceDaily 20 August 2012 and ABC News in Science 21 August 2012. The universe is very large, but according to the Big Bang theory it started out very small, which means two incompatible theories need to be unified. James Quach, from the University of Melbourne explained: "On the one hand you have quantum mechanics, which describes the physics of the very small, like molecules, atoms and sub-atomic particles. On the other hand you have general relativity which describes the physics of very large things like planets, solar systems and galaxies". Einstein's general relativity, assumes that "space and time were continuous and flowed smoothly".
Quach and his colleagues think they can solve the problem with a new theory known as "Quantum Graphity". This theory suggests the universe is made up of extremely tiny particles, smaller than the Higgs boson. These particles are too small to see, but their presence may be deduced using a mathematical model that starts with the early universe being like a liquid with no definable form. Quach explained: "Think of the early universe as being like a liquid. As the universe cools, it 'crystallizes' into the three spatial and one time dimension that we see today. Theorised this way, as the Universe cools, we would expect that cracks should form, similar to the way cracks are formed when water freezes into ice". Quach's team think they can find evidence of the cracks because they claim "Light and other particles would bend or reflect off such defects, and therefore in theory we should be able to detect these effects".
Editorial Comment: Wow – just a few weeks ago the Higgs Boson was the ultimate particle. Now they predict a smaller one. What a short reign the Higgs Boson had! These bizarre speculations remind us that the Big Bang theory is not an observed scientific fact, but the imagination of those who refuse to accept the Creator's Word that He made space, time, matter and energy in fully functional states in just 6 days.

ONLY eight per cent of 'troubled' families in Bournemouth are receiving the support they need from a government programme.
The Troubled Families scheme is aimed at getting truanting children back to school, getting unskilled adults into work and cracking down on anti-social behaviour.
However, of those families identified as being in need of the programme in Bournemouth – where it is known as Turnaround – only eight per cent are receiving help, compared with 35 per cent across Dorset as a whole, and 36 per cent in Poole.
The government claims the number of families "turned around" has almost doubled in the past six months and saved £3 billion, with 39,480 families where children have now been to school for three consecutive terms, anti-social behaviour has been reduced and adults have been in work for at least three months.
Eric Pickles said: "Progress is being made in all corners of the country and I'm proud that this government is taking action to help change the lives of the families most in need."
Ann-Marie Dodds, Troubled Families Co-ordinator, at Bournemouth Council said: "We are working effectively with those families facing challenges with education, anti-social behaviour and unemployment with positive progress being made with the 260 families that we are supporting in Bournemouth.
"Before considering these families to be 'turned around' their progress must be sustained.
"However, we are confident that with continued efforts, working closely with the families, the numbers whose lives have been improved through this programme will increase significantly."

Shrug Bar: Olympic Size
Excellent for deadlifts, farmer's walks, traps and shoulder work. The shrug bar deadlift is a cross between a squat position and a deadlift, but with more control and safety than a dumbbell deadlift. The lift feels like a mix of a squat and a deadlift, giving you an upright position similar to a front squat. No other lift is quite like it. In fact, it is so unique that it is an official lift in the USAWA.
Here are the Official USAWA Rules for a Trap Bar Deadlift:
"H9. Deadlift – Trap Bar
The rules of the Deadlift apply except a Trap Bar must be used. The Trap Bar must not be of the type that contains elevated handles.
X. Rules of the Basic Movements
These basic movements are not official lifts of the USAWA. Many individual rules of the lifts will utilize these rules of the basic movements with noted exceptions.
A. Deadlift
The bar will be placed on the platform at the lifter's feet, directly in front of the lifter. The lifter will grip the bar with both hands with any grip and any hand spacing. The lifter may use an alternate grip in which the palms of the hands are opposed. The lift begins at the lifter's discretion. The bar may be uneven during the ascent, but it must finish evenly. The bar may touch the legs during the ascent, but must not be rested on the legs, bounced, hitched, or lowered. Width of feet placement is optional, but the feet must be parallel and in line with the torso. Heels and toes may rise during the lift, but foot placing must not change. No substance of any kind may be applied to the legs. When the legs are straight, the arms are straight, the shoulders erect, the bar motionless, the lifter will receive a command from an official to lower the bar. The bar must be returned to the platform under control for the lift to be complete. "
"Made in the USA. Not just a slogan, it's national security."

THE couple accused of killing Halesowen pensioner Cynthia Beamond are expected to make their pleas to the charge in October.
Leo Barnes and his partner Chantelle Moran-Stokes have both been charged with the murder of Mrs Beamond who was found dead at her home in Juliet Road, Howley Grange - two days after she was reported missing.
Barnes, 32, has also been charged with a second murder at an address in Belsize Park, London where the body of 67-year-old Philip Silverstone was recovered by police.
Moran-Stokes appeared before Judge John Warner at Wolverhampton Crown Court and she was further remanded in custody.
Mr Tarlowchan Dubb defending the 24-year-old of Latches Close, Darlaston told the court he would be making a bail application on her behalf in the near future.
Barnes of Runcorn Road, Balsall Heath, Birmingham did not appear before the Judge and he was also further remanded in custody in his absence.
Mr Robert Price prosecuting said police still had a great deal of work to carry out in both cases involving the checking of CCTV and mobile telephone records.
It would be an "extensive investigation," he added and a large number of "leads" had to be fully checked before the case could be finalised.
He said it was expected a Plea and Management Hearing for Barnes and Moran-Stokes would take place on October 10th and a subsequent trial was scheduled to last for four to five weeks.
Moran-Stokes who wore a blue top and a pair of grey tracksuit bottoms spoke only to confirm her name before being taken back into custody.

Zacuto assembled a team of top-flight cinematographers and crew to scientifically evaluate the differences between many of the leading cameras out there for filmmakers today in this shootout. And if you don't happen to look away around the 20:00 mark right after @planetmitch 's comments, you might see my mug talking briefly about what I saw in the latitude tests relating to 5D, F3, etc.
It really is astounding to me how far digital cameras of all ranges have come- especially since the 3-CCD betacams of the late 80s. In short, there are many excellent choices as a shooter/filmmaker, so don't get hung up on which camera to rent or buy- just understand how to use what you have to its fullest potential in the context of telling your particular story.

Junior Giants Kickoff and Clinic Success
Eureka-The Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods hosted a youth baseball clinic for boys and girls ages 5-10 on Sunday, April 6th at Winship Middle School. The event was to promote their new summer program, Junior Giants, which will launch in Eureka this summer. We had a wonderful turn out at the free 4-hour clinic that was put on by a group of students from Humboldt State University, and supported by members of the California Conservation Corps, Cutten Ridgewood Recreation Association, Kohl's and other community volunteers.
Junior Giants Summer Baseball is a FREE program for boys and girls ages 5-10 that combines health, education and violence prevention with the fundamentals of baseball. Throughout the eight-week summer program, players will learn the four bases of character development: confidence, integrity, leadership and teamwork while developing healthy habits like good nutrition, reading and striking out bullying. Rewards are given throughout the summer to incentivize players to meet the goals of the program: from rulers and notebooks, to baseball gloves and even a team trip to AT&T Park as guests of the San Francisco Giants.
Online registration for players and volunteer coaches is now open at www.bgcredwoods.org
More program information can be found online at jrgiants.org, by calling the Eureka Junior Giants program at (707) 633-8784 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com

Can You Imagine? The Brutal Rights Violations of Afghanistan's Girls
For women and girls in Afghanistan like Sahar Gul, violence continues to be a part of everyday life. An exclusive interview with Women for Women International's Afghan County Director Sweeta Noori.
-Diana Denza
When my younger twin sisters were in their early teens, most of their time was consumed by the three Bs: boyfriends, best friends, and buying clothes. And let's face it: so was most of ours. Many of us reminisce about those innocent years spent taking the laws and parental guidance that protected us for granted. But 7,000 miles away in Afghanistan, countless young girls have witnessed and experienced rights violations that are almost unimaginable to women in this country.
When 15-year-old Sahar Gul was rescued just days ago from the basement of her in-laws' residence in the northern Baghlan province of Afghanistan, her hair and nails had been torn out, her fingers broken, and her body burned with hot irons.
Afghan officials told CNN that this monstrous act of torture was carried out by the girl's husband and his family because she refused to become a prostitute. For six months, Gul's 30-year-old husband and her in-laws kept her locked away in their underground chamber of horrors.
According to nonprofit organization Women for Women International's Afghan County Director Sweeta Noori, this type of horrific abuse against women is occurring all too often in the country.
"Sahar Gul's story is heartbreaking and, unfortunately, her experience is not uncommon in today's Afghanistan," Noori told BettyConfidential in an exclusive interview.
"Over a decade after the fall of the brutally oppressive Taliban regime, women in Afghanistan continue to live under a constant threat of violence, both within their homes and out in their communities," said Noori. "Although the government has implemented laws to protect women, discriminatory practices in Afghanistan's informal and formal justice systems has allowed violence against women to continue. Honor killings, early and forced marriages, and sexual abuse and slavery are still prevalent."
Just how prevalent these acts of violence are might shock you. According to an Oxfam report released in October 2011, 87 percent of Afghan women have been victims of physical, sexual, or psychological assault or forced marriage. Meanwhile, the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission found that there were 1,026 reported cases of violence against women in the second quarter of 2011 alone. The year before, approximately 2,700 cases in total were reported.
And Gul's story comes on the heels of another high profile case in Afghanistan. A woman known only as Gulnaz, now 21, was sentenced to 12 years in prison when she was a teen for being raped by her cousin's husband –considered the crime of adultery in Afghanistan. After bearing her rapist's child in prison, she agreed to wed the man to gain freedom for herself and the daughter conceived in the attack. President Hamid Karzai finally pardoned Gulnaz after she spent two years behind bars — where she gave birth to her daughter.
According to the BBC, half of the female prisoners in Afghanistan are in jail for so-called "moral crimes."
Though women like Gulnaz have been brought up on charges for "dishonoring" their families by having sexual contact out of wedlock (even when forced), Gul's marriage was never officially sanctioned by law in the first place. The legal age for marriage in Afghanistan is 16, but Gul's family was nevertheless able to arrange their daughter's wedding.
"This law is not strictly enforced," Noori explained. "Nearly half of Afghan women are married before they turn 16. In a practice called baad, women and girls can be given away as brides to settle a family's debts or pay for a relative's crimes. Practices like these can be used to marry off young girls."

Hanwag Sizing Chart
Hanwag Sizing Chart
- Trekking and hiking footwear should fit comfortably, without rubbing. Check to see if the heel fits properly by trying the shoe on with the laces undone. If it's loose at the sides, the heel is too wide.
- You should be able to measure a finger's width of space between your toes and the tip of the shoe – this is particularly important for descents, where you don't want your toes hitting the front of the shoe. In particular, if you are buying lightweight, multifunctional footwear with a more flexible textile upper, you will often need a slightly longer fit to ensure that your toes don't get bruised at the front of the shoe. Even if a shoe feels comfortable when you try it on in the shop, always try the next half size up to compare.
- Alpine rock climbing boots are the exception to the rule. For more ambitious mountaineering a closer fit is important. Boots should not be too long to ensure direct contact and sure footing on rock. This takes precedence over comfort for descents...
- Again, make sure that the heel fits securely and that the toes have enough space. This will ensure a more comfortable fit.
- Hanwag's particularly stiff alpine boots (Omega and Eclipse II) should not be too narrow at the toes, to prevent frostbite from occurring. Hanwag's alpine boots feature the triple-adjustment HANWAG Vari-Volume system with an exchangeable inner tongue and a second set of insoles to make sure they fit with one or two pairs of socks (including thick mountain socks). This means they can be adapted to suit all conditions.

Should You Get A Playstation 3 Only For Its Graphics?
Being the latest introduction, the Playstation 3 has some of the best audio/video features seen in gaming consoles so far. This console offers the best ever life-like look, especially in games like Fight Night: Round 3 and Call of Duty 3. The pixel shading, smooth blending of the background and anti-aliasing has been created to perfection. There is hardly any other game available in the market today that can really compare with the superb quality of Playstation 3 graphics. This image quality makes the game look very real and elicits great response and feedbacks from the users.
Let us now analyze some of these games.
* Call of Duty 3
Though this game has already come out with other gaming console versions, the Playstation 3 Graphics stand head and shoulders above the rest. The backgrounds, shadows, even explosions seem to be happening in actuality. The Playstation 3 graphics for this game are simply too good and there isn't one flaw one can make out.
* Fight Night: Round 3
Playstation 3 graphics available for this game is a cut above the rest of the gaming solutions. Even the models' skin texture and expressions are so real, one can actually believe this is reality happening out there, not a game! The knockout punch replay is the most realistically created graphic. The contortion and distortion in the model's face is so real, it can actually send a chill down the player's spine!
* Genji: Days of the Blade
The superb quality of Playstation 3 graphics is brought out through this game yet again. Though the gameplay isn't really great, the graphics more than compensate for it. The legendary Japanese characters actually seem to come to life during the course of the game and the experience is fantastic beyond description!
One thing has to be understood about these gaming consoles. Graphics, though important, is not the be-all and end-all of the game. It is a clever combination of several factors that make a game worth it. The Gameplay, audio/visual experience, clarity of speech, all go to make a perfect game. Omission of any one of these ingredients will make the game look like a perfect museum piece, beautiful, no doubt, but lifeless!
Happily enough, the PS3 also includes a list of games with great Playstation 3 graphics. The above-mentioned games have some of the best Playstation 3 graphics.
PS3 gamers and programmers are always trying to find ways to improved Playstation 3 graphics and other effects. Because this programming is very complex and because the console itself is very new, it is bound to take some time for this genre to rise up to people's expectations and emerge as the truly ultimate gaming solution, offering the best Playstation 3 graphics!

OTTAWA — Dave Yoder, of Ottawa, was among the 193 Korean War Veterans who were honored in a ceremony in Dayton on July 19.
Korean War, which began June 25, 1950, was initially a civil conflict
between North and South Korea. As it progressed, the conflict became a
war against the forces of international communism. The United States
joined twenty other United Nations countries in defense of South Korea,
and provided 88 percent of the soldiers. The war officially ended on
July 27, 1953. Over 36,500 Americans lost their lives during the war. It
has been referred to as "The Forgotten War" or "The Unknown War"
because of the lack of public attention it received both during and
after the war.
Yoder, who served in the United States Army from
January 1953 through July 1954, was a corporal stationed in Busan
(pronounced pus' an), South Korea, in a construction engineer outfit,
behind enemy lines. He worked near Incheon, Yong Dong Po, and on Geoje
Island, which was a prison war camp.
Yoder recalled his company
built two big airstrips, and a smaller one. One of their more lengthy
projects was building a road around a mountain. The mountain was used as
an ammunition dump, the troops had to come up with a unique solution.
twenty yards or so, we made a bay to store the ammo," Yoder described.
"If it (the mountain) got bombed, the only ammo that would blow up would
be in one bay."
The Dayton Korean War Veteran Memorial and All
Veterans Walkway were dedicated on September 9, 1995, to honor Veterans
of the Korean War. This is the only memorial in the continental United
States with a complete listing of the 8,182 soldiers who are missing in
This year, The Dayton Veterans Administration Medical
Center joined the Dayton Area Korean Association and the Korean Veterans
Memorial Association to recognize the veterans. The VA had invited all
Korean War Veterans they serve.
Yoder did not realize there was a memorial in Dayton until he received a letter in early July about the ceremony.
e-mailed the lady, and she e-mailed me right back," he related. "Later
that day, a man called to confirm my application (to attend the
Yoder and his daughter, Tona Franz, of Miller City,
traveled to the event. "Dad was probably one of the youngest vets
there," she noted.
The Korean Consulate thanked the veterans and
their guests for attending. "They were very appreciative of what was
done for them (the country of South Korea)," Franz recalled. "South
Korea would not be the country it is today, if not for the veterans'
The Deputy Consul General of the Korean Consulate of
Chicago personally presented one veteran an Ambassador of Peace medal
during the ceremony. The rest of the medals were distributed to veterans
at booths. The medal was an expression of appreciation from the Korean
government to the United States servicemen and women who served during
the war. The veterans must have served during the dates of the war in
order to be eligible for the medal.
Six people spoke about the
accomplishments the veterans had made to South Korea. In addition,
Korean women from the Dayton Area Korean Association Staff executed a
native dance and musical performance.
"All in all, it was a very nice ceremony," Yoder concluded. "It was very well done."

A SEX offender from Burnley is being hunted by police.
Dilshad Miah, 32, was given a suspended sentence of 19 days in jail after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in November.
Miah, who was placed on the Sex Offenders' Register until December 2020, is wanted after failing to notify Lancashire police of a change in his address.
As well as having links to Burnley, it is believed Miah could be in the Rochdale or Manchester.
DC Andrew Ashworth appealed for anybody with information about his current whereabouts to come forward.
He said: "Miah is a registered sex offender who has failed to notify the authorities of his whereabouts. If anybody knows where he is currently or has been in contact with him recently then I would urge them to contact police.
"Sex offenders are managed in the community by police and partners, a system which aims to prevent them from committing further offences.
"If they do not comply with the obligations of their licence or notification requirements, then we will take positive action to locate them, as we are doing in this case."
Miah is described as being around 5ft tall, of proportionate build with brown eyes and short dark hair.
Anybody with any information can contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or online at www. crimestoppers-uk.org.
