North Georgia Diamond Announces Valentine's Day Contest Winner!Business March 1, 2013
Heather & Brad Simmons have been chosen as the winner of the "Best Proposal" story. They won a $50 North Georgia Diamond gift certificate. All of the entries that we recieved were outstanding. North Geogia Diamond has decided to give $25 gift certificates to all the runners up. Thank You for your submissions! Thanks to Cortney Ralston, Lexie Steward, Jessica Mazursky, and Candace Hill.Below are samples of romantic proposals submitted by our viewers.
My now husband did the most romantic wedding proposal in October 2012. It took quite a bit of organizing to get it all together. But our friends, Blue & Brenda Patterson, had been wanting to get some photos made of them with their Harley so we set up to take the photos one Friday afternoon and then Brad, my man, starting building his plan off of this. Brenda called me and the plan of taking the photos had got added onto, not only were we going to take some photos around an old abandoned building in down town Ellijay but also included taking a trip up to Fort Mountain to the overlook, a special location where they use to meet when they were dating, before they were married. This sounded like an excellent idea so I asked Brad to meet us up there with our Harley and I was going to get Brenda to take a few photos of us as well. I was so excited. So I spent the entire afternoon with Brenda and Blue where they were constantly checking their phones and told me they wanted to take me and buy me a drink until we went up to Fort Mountain, which had to be at sunset of course. So we had a good hour to kill. As sunset time fastly approached I started getting nervous telling Blue that we had to hurry up that it would be sunset soon and I wouldn't be able to fit all the photos in before it set and I didn't want them to be disappointed, but Blue and Brenda both kept stalling. All I could think is why are you people stalling me! We aren't going to get the photos! I had tried to call and text Brad to let him know we were about to head up the mountain so he could meet us up there but he wasn't answering me, I was getting disappointed that we wouldn't have our pictures made. But Brenda and I followed Blue up on his Harley in my car. Blue took off and left us and when I got to the overlook he wasn't there, Brenda tells me, no Heather were talking about the second overlook just over the mountain on the left. Well I really start to freak at this point because that wasn't what I told Brad and now if he was on his way up he wouldn't know where to meet us because I had no phone service and who the heck calls that the overlook, everyone knows the overlook is the big one up there on the right, right? But I continued on down the road so I could at least get the photos of Brenda and Blue. And as I rounded the curve to where the second overlook was I slammed on the breaks and stopped in the middle of the road because I was in pure shock, there stood Brad with about 20 of our family and friends holding this massive metal sign that reads will you marry me? Awwwwww, so now realizing I'm stopped in a curve I decide I better get out of the way before I get ran over and pulled on the side of the road and met my man where he gets down on one knee and asks me to be his wife. I said yes of course and we were married on 12/12/12 in Las Vegas by Elvis. I was amazed by the organization he had done (with our friend Vic) to get all of our friends together up on Fort Mountain to be a part of our special day without leaking a word to me. I'll never forget it.
My husband and I were dating for 2 years, and suddenly he began asking me to go to different diamond stores in South Florida where we lived, to look at what diamond cut I liked the best and again to size my fingers, I was telling everyone I worked with that it was going to happen, but of course he started being less than nice. Telling me that he was just asking and there was no way we were getting engaged anytime soon… I thought fine, I wouldn't marry you right now any way.
About 2 months after this, we were planning a weekend trip to my parents house about 2 hours away, but the week of he said he wanted to go out to a nice dinner just because on that Friday before heading out of town. This was in October which was the month we had started dating, and since we could not recall the exact date of our "first date" we always just said October was our anniversary. He told me to go shopping to buy a nice dress, then the day before had me go get my hair and nails done. I thought it was a little strange, but also assumed he was just being nice, because this is the kind of thing that Doug would do.
So we ended up at a place called "The Caves" in Ft. Lauderdale, it was a super cute themed upper scale stake place, we had a very nice dinner, and I noticed throughout dinner that Doug seemed a little nervous, he was jittery, and making small jokes, kept looking at me all starry eyed (not normal Doug behavior). After our meal he got up to use the restroom, when he sat back at the table he was followed by our waitress who sat 2 champagne glass on the table. THIS WAS IT! My eyes lit up and his went glassy (tears) he asked me to pick up my glass and share a toast with him "To many years, of health, happiness, and honesty. Be my wife, I love you!" I am now in tears, waiting for him to pull the ring out and place in on my finger, he keeps telling me to drink my champagne… I being smarty pants chugged it, the ring hit my teeth… J He placed in on my finger and he we are 11 years later about to celebrate another year of wedded bliss.
Hello! Here's a little bit about my story and how it all played out. At the age of 29, I was pretty much thinking I was never going to meet my "mister right". I always wanted to find my one true love to spend the rest of my life with and to start a family, but it never happened. Well on September 1, 2009 I started my new job at the Gilmer County Chamber of Commerce. I was super excited considering it was the first job offer I had be given in some time. After a few days at my new job, I checked my face book messages one day and I had a new inbox from a gentlemen I didn't know. The message was from a man named Gerald Hill and he assured me that he wasn't a crazy psycho path lol. He was from Blue Ridge, Ga and we had two mutual friends on facebook. After several phone chats, I agreed to meet him for coffee at Starbucks. I remember on that day while at work at the Chamber, being so scared to death. The minute I got off work and got into his vehicle, I was in awe. He was so dark and handsome and I already knew I liked him. The more we talked the more we both saw how compatible we were. We both were very close to our families and that was important to us. After several months of dating, I knew he was the one! On December 11, 2009, we had planned on going to Lake Lanier Island's Christmas light show. As we left my house he asked me if I wanted to go to the park to walk before heading to see the lights. We always went to the park to walk in the afternoons and weekends. It was freezing cold outside, but we walked anyways. As we were walking, I found myself rambling on about different things and he was super quiet. Once we got to the Veteran's Memorial Bridge he pulled me close to him and kissed me. Immediately following, he pulled away and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was in total shock! With teared filled eyes ,I said yes!! What made this even more special, was to find out that he went and talked to my dad the week before. That meant so much to me, considering I like the old fashioned way of things. We got married on April 24, 2010 and I have never been so happy and blessed in my entire life. We have came a long way in almost 3 years with two precious girls. Olivia Grace, age 2 and Madeline Joy, 9 months. This is my story!!!!
Cortney Ralston was working at a local bank while attending nursing school when Cody Kephart came through the drive-thru one day to cash a check. Even though they caught the other's eye, they were both too shy to act on it. A few months later, Cody finally got the courage to talk to Cortney and asked her to dinner. Immediately, they knew how special their relationship was. The next eight months were hectic with both of them in college but they still managed to see each other almost every day. On December 22, 2012, Cortney and Cody decided to go out to dinner and then back to his house to watch a movie. Little did she know, Cody planned on proposing that night. When they got back to his house, Cody asked Cortney to take a look at a chest x-ray he recently had taken. She told him that even though she was in nursing school she didn't know how to analyze an x-ray, but he asked her to take a look anyway. When she put the x-ray up to the light, Cortney saw the outline of an engagement ring where Cody's heart was located. She instantly turned around and he already had the ring box open and asked her if she would marry him. Surprised and elated, she said yes. Cody and Cortney plan to wed in spring 2014 after obtaining their bachelor's degrees.
High school sweethearts, Randy Steward and I, got married on November 4th, 2012. It was a Family Sunday right after church and we were having a family cookout at our house. No one could decide what movie we were gonna watch so Randy chose one. He slid in the DVD and it was a slideshow of me and Randy and our 6 years together through middle school and high school. Towards the end a video popped up and it was Randy and my pawpaw sitting together on the front porch rocking in the rocking chairs and my sweet man was asking my pawpaw for his grand daughters hand in marriage and my grandpa allowed it! Randy then got down on one knee and asked me to be his girl forever! I love him, and this was the sweetest thing ever! Of course, I SAID YES!!! He is my best friend! He is very romantic! We love NORTH GEORGIA DIAMOND. It's where i got his wedding band and he got My promise ring(in 10th grade), my engagement ring, my wedding band, and my reflection bracelet and charms! We love y'all!

Vienna (Jun. 15)
Although the bomb attacks, which featured the outburst of Nazi disorders here this week, have ceased, anti-Jewish outrages are still continuing despite energetic efforts of the authorities to restore order. Austrian followers of Chancellor Hitler of Germany were continuing their anti-Jewish manifestations today with a series of attacks on Jewish shops, breaking windows and tearing down signs.
The panic of the Jewish population attendant on the bomb outrages, in which at least two people were killed and many injured, and the belief that the disorders marked a Nazi coup to gain control of the Austrian Government, has considerably abated. This is largely due to the obvious determination of the authorities to suppress the disorders and to protect the population. Reinforced police guards are patrolling the Jewish sections of the city to prevent further attacks.

Military Discounts
The Philadelphia Orchestra is proud to welcome active military, veterans, and their families to the concert hall.
Beginning on November 11, 2016, is a new discount ticketing option for veterans and active military. The Philadelphia Orchestra's Military Discount offers veterans and active military with valid ID special ticket rates to select concerts at Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall.
Ticket savings range from 10-30% for most concerts in the season. Tickets must be purchased in person at the Kimmel Center Box Office with valid Military ID.
Discounted Concerts include:
Yannick brings two masterworks by Ravel to this program. Each movement of his intimate Le Tombeau de Couperin is dedicated to a friend who died in the First World War, but as a whole, the composition is a tribute to the splendors of French music, which may be best embodied in Ravel's ballet Daphnis and Chloé, a work Yannick calls "very dear to my heart." He leads the complete version of this sparkling and sensual orchestral showpiece, bringing to vivid life the mythological story of the goatherd Daphnis and the shepherdess Chloé. It's a hedonistic tale, with a musical bacchanal in the garden of Pan. Curtis grad and rising star violinist Benjamin Beilman made his Philadelphia Orchestra debut in 2015, performing with "polish and power" (The Philadelphia Inquirer). He returns with Prokofiev's ethereal Violin Concerto No. 1.
This concert is LiveNote™ enabled.
Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Christopher Rouse summons breathtaking texture, color, and volume—much like Verizon Hall's 7,000-pipe Fred J. Cooper Memorial Organ. In celebration of the magnificent instrument's 10th anniversary, Rouse has been commissioned to write a new concerto for the King of Instruments. Grammy Award-winning organist Paul Jacobs returns as Yannick leads the Philadelphians in this world premiere.
Newly appointed music director of the National Symphony, Gianandrea Noseda returns to lead a program that whirls from dance to jazz to Beethoven. The Milanese maestro has been sharing his love of underappreciated Italian repertoire with our audiences for the past two seasons (with the music of Casella inspiring wild ovations). This season he enchants us with Goffredo Petrassi, whose 1932 Partita celebrates traditional Italian dance forms.
"O Fortune! Like the moon ever-changing," the massive choir bellows amidst the opening clash of cymbals and banging of drums, but ever-constant is the enduring popularity of Carmina burana, Orff's heart-pounding and tantalizing tale of drinking and debauchery. It was a hit from the start. Whether you know it from the movies or TV commercials, rappers or Philadelphia's own Mummers, nothing can quite prepare you for The Philadelphia Orchestra's live and lusty delivery, vigorously led in these performances by the Orchestra's own Cristian Macelaru, whose career has quickly taken on international proportions. Beethoven was having his own showdown with fortune when he composed his Second Symphony. He might justifiably have manifested despair in the early stages of hearing loss, but instead wrote one of his most ebullient and life-affirming works.
This concert is LiveNote™ enabled.
Maybe you're new to The Philadelphia Orchestra's holiday music. Or maybe Eugene Ormandy's 1962 The Glorious Sound of Christmas album is a prize in your record collection. Either way, we invite you to make us part of your annual traditions. Our Christmas concerts feature the full Orchestra, choir, and special guests, all led this year by the irresistible Thomas Wilkins, principal conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Buy your tickets early and put this heartwarming holiday break on your calendar now. Come December, you'll be glad you did. 'Tis the season!
It wouldn't be the holiday season without Handel's divine Messiah. French conductor and vocalist Nathalie Stutzmann—who made her U.S. conducting debut with Messiah performances in Detroit and at the Kennedy Center—makes her Philadelphia Orchestra conducting debut leading this most famous of oratorios. With one performance only, this is guaranteed to sell out. Don't miss your chance to be in the hall when the audience stands for the "Hallelujah" Chorus. Wonderful!
Celebrate the arrival of 2017 with the Fabulous Philadelphians! The perennially popular Bramwell Tovey ("… please borrow, steal, and BEG BEG Bramwell Tovey to come back!" one fan implored us) leads the festivities with "his Noël Coward-esque wit and solid command of the Philadelphia Orchestra." (The Philadelphia Inquirer) The Grammy-winning guest conductor promises an evening of delicious music—spiced with a dash of irreverence. Ring in the New Year in style!
There's no denying Mozart was a genius in the most literal sense of the word. Here's an opportunity to experience the full sweep of his astonishing talent, from his first symphony, composed when he was just eight years old, to his last, the complex and majestic "Jupiter." In between he produced a staggering body of work, including his first woodwind concerto, composed at age 18. "We are honored as bassoonists that he chose us first among all the woodwind instruments. It's a masterwork. And it's written for us and such a fantastic privilege!" says Principal Bassoon Daniel Matsukawa, comparing his role in these concerts to "the lucky tenor or soprano who gets to sing the arias" in the midst of two great symphonic works. The esteemed British conductor and Mozart specialist Jane Glover makes her subscription debut in this effervescent program.
Paris is home to one of the world's richest mixtures of culture and music. This first of three Festival programs celebrates composers who were based in the City of Light. At the heart of the concert are the gorgeous selections from Joseph Canteloube's Songs of the Auvergne, a work often requested by our audience. Mezzo-soprano Susan Graham will float the exquisite melodies straight into your heart while showcasing the extraordinary chemistry she enjoys with Yannick. Chabrier was a composer's composer; his Joyeuse Marche is a jaunty parade through the boulevards of Paris. Fauré's haunting Pavane has delighted Parisiens (and everyone else) since its first performances in the 1880s. Saint-Saëns's "Bacchanale" is a raucous episode from his opera Samson and Delilah. Ravel's Menuet antique is perhaps inspired by Chabrier, an early supporter. And Florent Schmitt's Suite from La Tragédie de Salomé anticipates the work of another Paris resident, Stravinsky. The lives (and works) of these composers intertwined; we know you'll relish the musical riches that could only have been born in Paris.
On our second visit to Paris, Yannick and the Orchestra feature two brilliant musical expats who made the French capital their home, while never forgetting their native land. Frédéric Chopin wrote his Piano Concerto No. 1 before he left Poland in 1830; political upheaval drove him to Paris, where he remained for the rest of his life, dazzling the city (and audiences and critics throughout the world) with his extraordinary performing and composing skills. The Concerto is thus a fascinating look at a genius in transition. Our soloist, Chopin-specialist Louis Lortie, will bring out all the riches of this piano masterwork. Igor Stravinsky enjoyed remarkable success and support in Paris, but kept strong ties to his roots. His music for the ballet Petrushka, based on Russia's version of Punch and Judy, premiered in Paris in 1911, with the immortal Nijinsky in the title role.
Our final visit to Paris celebrates two composers who reached outside their rich musical milieu to find inspiration around the Mediterranean. Hector Berlioz's Harold in Italy, inspired by Lord Byron's poetry, was written for the devilishly talented Niccolò Paganini. He decided the viola part wasn't prominent enough, and rejected the piece. His loss is the music world's gain; the work is now at the heart of the viola repertoire. Our principal viola, Choong-Jin Chang, steps out front to shine in this wonderful piece. From Italy to Spain, a frequent creative wellspring for Maurice Ravel (his parents both had Spanish roots): Alborada del gracioso uses Spanish musical themes; Rapsodie espagnole celebrates all things Spanish, especially music and dance; and then there's the stunning Bolero. Deceptively simple, yet utterly compelling, it was a sensational success at its Paris Opera premiere in 1928 and brings our Paris sojourn to an ecstatic finale.
The distinguished pianist André Watts regrets that he must withdraw from his upcoming concerts with The Philadelphia Orchestra because he is not yet sufficiently recovered from prostate cancer treatments. Instead, Lise de la Salle, one of today's most exciting young keyboard artists, will perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4, the originally scheduled work.
In advising The Philadelphia Orchestra of his inability to perform this week, Mr. Watts expressed his sincere regret to the Orchestra and its audiences, saying, "Philadelphia is such a special place to me, and I deeply regret not being well enough to celebrate my 60th anniversary with them." The Philadelphia Orchestra is deeply grateful that Lise de la Salle has agreed to perform in place of Mr. Watts this week. All of us at The Philadelphia Orchestra join in wishing him a full and swift recovery, with best musical wishes for the future!
The legendary Herbert Blomstedt turns 90 this season, returning to our podium to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his Philadelphia Orchestra debut. Continuing this season's cycle of Brahms symphonies, he leads Brahms's lush Third Symphony, hailed by a critic of the composer's time as "a feast for the music lover and musician … artistically the most perfect." The feuding partisans of Wagner and Brahms nearly came to blows at the premiere, but the work survived its boisterous birth, and is now a cornerstone of the great Germanic symphonic repertoire. The main theme of the third movement is Brahms at his brooding, moving best. Blomstedt is joined by another great friend of the Orchestra, the brilliant pianist Garrick Ohlsson. They'll collaborate on Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25. It's among the Austrian master's finest creations, the great piano concertos he wrote in Vienna in the 1780s.
Yannick has spoken often of his great passion for Brahms, possibly his favorite composer. The culmination of this season's symphonic cycle features selections from his final musical work, the Eleven Choral Preludes, as well as his last symphony and the Bach cantata that inspired it. The Choral Preludes, originally written for organ, are a natural companion to Bach, the master of sacred organ and choral music, who is represented here by his Cantata No. 150. And in an homage across time, Brahms based the final movement of his majestic Fourth Symphony on the final movement of the same Bach Cantata. Hear the Choral Preludes in beautiful new transcriptions by Detlev Glanert alongside the original organ works in this varied presentation featuring the Fred J. Cooper Memorial Organ. Marvelous works on their own; even better in context with each other; sublime with Yannick and the Philadelphians!
Indulge in Yannick's passion for opera in these three evenings of pure spine-tingling drama! Yannick pairs some surprising selections from Tchaikovsky's dark and gorgeous ballet score with Bartók's sinister one-act opera. If you think the Black Swan is harrowing, wait until you see what happens when Bluebeard's suspicious bride insists on seeing what's behind seven locked doors in her new husband's castle. The electrifying mezzo-soprano and frequent Metropolitan Opera performer Michelle DeYoung is the newlywed Judith, whose high C will give you chills; Metropolitan Opera regular John Relyea sings the brooding Duke Bluebeard. Spoiler alert: Judith might not want to open that last door.

"At the end of his life when asked which was his favorite work, [Beethoven] unhesitatingly said, the 'Eroica,'" says Michael Tilson Thomas. "It's a real epic for orchestra, but it's also a vast and contradictory masterpiece." The charismatic conductor returns to lead Beethoven's landmark—and truly heroic—Symphony No. 3. Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos left Verizon Hall audiences rapturous after his 2015 performance of the Sibelius Concerto. He also returns, applying his "off the charts" technique (The Philadelphia Inquirer) to another early-20th-century masterpiece, Berg's Violin Concerto. The daring American composer Ruth Crawford Seeger dropped in—unannounced—on Berg while in Vienna on a Guggenheim Fellowship. It was shortly after that meeting—and before her immersion in the folk movement that would make her stepson Pete the famous one in the family—that she was composing the experimental music from which her Andante for Strings is plucked. Her concise and compact piece opens these enthralling concerts.
Conductor Laureate Charles Dutoit returns to lead a massive ensemble in one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of music: Britten's War Requiem
Principal Percussion Christopher Deviney calls 20-time Grammy winner Pat Metheny and his composing partner Lyle Mays the "most important duo to come along since George and Ira Gershwin." Deviney has orchestrated three Metheny jazz tunes into an all-new percussion concerto starring She-e Wu on marimba and himself on vibraphone. "To have a solo is a dream come true but to then premiere it with The Philadelphia Orchestra—my own orchestra—is beyond what I ever thought would happen," he says. Audience favorite conductor Bramwell Tovey brings his impresario's touch to a clever program that combines the world premiere with Dvorák's lofty final symphony—"From the New World" indeed, as it was written in New York City—and Bernstein's jazz-infused Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs, a jazz-hall style work for clarinet and orchestra premiered by Benny Goodman
While the young Russian prodigy Daniil Trifonov is busy becoming an international celebrity, Philadelphia Orchestra audiences already know and love him: In 2015 he made his subscription debut and recorded the Grammy-nominated Rachmaninoff Variations with the Philadelphians. He returns to perform Mozart's "Jenamy" Concerto, as technically demanding as it is joyous. American composer Mason Bates will also be on stage activating the electronica elements of his fascinating and futuristic Alternative Energy. And speaking of energy, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to man; Beethoven and Liszt give us equally inspiring gifts in their tellings of his tale, as ballet music and symphonic poem.

Principal Guest Conductor Stéphane Denève brings his considerable flair to this musical buffet. We begin with Finnish composer Esa-Pekka Salonen's symphonic poem Nyx (she's the Greek personification of the night). Salonen says he aspired to convey Nyx's elusive character; if you see shadows flickering around Verizon Hall, well, don't say we didn't warn you. To Norway and Edvard Grieg, whose Piano Concerto is one of the most popular works in the keyboard canon. Soloist Lars Vogt will scale its soul-stirring heights. We return to Finland for our finale from Jean Sibelius. Coming at a time of Russian oppression, his Second Symphony boosted his patriotic credentials. Today we can appreciate this wonderful work on its own terms, as simply great music.
We honor the composer with perhaps the closest ties to The Philadelphia Orchestra, presenting all four of Rachmaninoff's piano concertos, with two dynamic and contrasting soloists: the renowned Russian Nikolai Lugansky (Concertos 2 and 3) and the Chinese phenom and Curtis-trained Haochen Zhang (Concertos 1 and 4). For good measure, Lugansky will also solo in the gorgeous Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Principal Guest Conductor Stéphane Denève also leads the Orchestra in the Symphonic Dances. In a perfect world you'll hear all three concerts and all four concertos. Additional Rachmaninoff Festival events surrounding the concerts will be unveiled in 2017. Join us for these unforgettable nights and revel in the heavenly Philadelphia Sound!
Looking ahead to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Leonard Bernstein in 2018, Yannick conducts the great American composer's first symphony, "Jeremiah," based on the prophet's lamentations "as he mourns his beloved Jerusalem, ruined, pillaged, and dishonored after his desperate efforts to save it" (Leonard Bernstein), and the young composer's own struggles with faith. Critics extol Radu Lupu, the "enigmatic and almost willfully individualistic pianist" (The New York Times), as an artist who simply must be heard live. A leading interpreter of Mozart's music, he performs the mesmerizing Piano Concerto No. 24, in which the composer makes full use of the orchestra. We conclude with Schumann's Symphony No. 2, which includes "probably the most profound music Schumann ever wrote for orchestra," says Yannick, "on the one hand very simple, but also heartbreaking in its depth and richness of harmonies."

Disenrollment from Native American tribes leaves families 'culturally homeless'
Swartzy Arlington, TXJan. 21, 2014 11:56 a.m.
as long as there are reservations, there will be poverty, and greed. Casinos gave them money but it hasn't really raised their level of living. Alcohol and drugs are so prevalent that it is an every day occurrence. We are really keeping them in servitude by letting them believe they are still warriors on their tribal lands. Those days are long gone, and will never return. What happened to the Indians here in the US was horrible, but we are still doing it to them today by letting them destroy themselves and all the in fighting. I grew up in Arizona and was on the reservations many many times. The money really isn't helping that many of them, what a tragedy. It sounds cruel, but we need to cut off all Federal aide and make them pick themselves up and make something out of their situation Living on Federal funds is not the way for a people to prosper. Main stream the Indian people and make them a part, a proud part of America , and help save the Indian. Other wise they will not survive.
thunderbolt7 DUTCH JOHN, UTJan. 21, 2014 5:26 a.m.
Disenrollment from Native American tribes is racist, but it is instigated by the US Govt, which designated special & separate status to Indian tribes. Wouldn't it be nice if inhabitants of the USA considered themselves "American?"
My2Cents Taylorsville, UTJan. 21, 2014 4:38 a.m.
This issue is not about individuals or tribal disputes, its a loophole glitch in how the governemnt has chosen to establish tribe and who's who. By all definitions then this tribe still has the power of independence with no treaty with the US government therefore the nation is not dissolved, but open to be its own nation without and federal access to their lands. The land is still theirs by eminent domain and a tribal ancestry is the final rule of law as to their identity. They can reclaims all lands any americans is occupying or used without tribal permissions or contract. The tribe can declare its own member's and conditions.
This is an opportunity for them to renew their tribal rights since the government has no treaty with them its an open book. Unlike other immigrates, natives are an independent nation not under the control of our Constitution or bill of rights as declared by previous government conciliation's to native americans and treaty agreements.
Mike Richards South Jordan, UtahJan. 21, 2014 12:21 a.m.
With today's DNA tests, determining who is a member of a tribe should not be a problem. Take the test. If the test shows that you are related by blood to members of the tribe, then you have sufficient proof to claim membership.
kiddsport Fairview, UTJan. 20, 2014 2:46 p.m.
Having worked and lived in and around Native American reservations, my personal observation is that the division between tribal and non-tribal, and now it appears even within tribes, is exacerbated by a separate-but-equal notion whose time has come to discard. The tribal cultural heritage can still be maintained while mainstreaming into America's vibrantly diverse society. We have seen in our history the assimilation of formerly sidelined nationalities- Irish, Asian, Hispanic, African, even at times European, such as Germans, Polish, and Italians. What lingers with all groups to one degree or another are those who want to divide us by pitting one group against another or by attempting to gain preferential treatment for their victim status- real or perceived.
Tribes that have been most successful are those who have embraced free enterprise and self-sufficiency. Unfortunately, those who built their well-being on the mirage of the casino enterprise are seeing the dark side of that business where greed and envy magnify natural human weaknesses.
It is time to graduate American Indians to the mature status of the everyday citizen. Those who say they cannot handle that only display their lack of understanding.

This recipe makes 12 individual tartlets, but you could easily halve the recipe and just make 6. And if you don't want to bother with the fancy black-and-white swirl, pipe each color of pudding side by side in each shell. This recipe is from Elske in Chicago, IL.
Cupcakes are kid stuff, right? That's why we chose to use chocolates on the sweet end of the spectrum. If you're baking for a more mature crowd, sub bittersweet or semisweet instead. This recipe goes well with our Devil's Food cupcakes.
One of those dreamy cookies that elicits a silent reverence in every chocolate lover who tastes it.
This technique will silence all those white-chocolate haters in your life.
Caramelized white chocolate forms the base of this rich ganache confection; the snowballs are more like truffles than cookies.
Yes, it's a long recipe with several parts, but each step is easy enough, and it can all be made ahead.
From foie gras to lobster, chefs around the country are infusing their savory dishes with the once-scorned white chocolate.

text: Ok, the Al deal still isn't done and I know a lot of us are getting very anxious. This is a simple question to ask but given the circumstances it's a very difficult one to answer but here it is, How much longer? How much longer will it be before Al is a Pacer again? Are there any others besides me that are getting just the least bit nervous about the entire thing? Your thoughts please.

I'm so so happy to see Thalion as today's dog of the day. If anyone deserved to be dog of the day it was Thalion and I bet today is a really special day. He was a true inspiration and I know how much you still miss him. Thinking of you today. Hugs.x
What a handsome boy you were Thalion! Such a nice story of your life. You must have been a wonderful dog!
I hope your family has a special day today seeing you honored as DOTD!
Forever in my heart...
Dear, precious Thalion~
*Tears* are falling as I look at your photo album, that sweet face; read your Mommy's beautiful, heart wrenching, love filled tribute to her precious boy.
I'm so, so sorry you had to leave for the Rainbow Bridge, sweetheart, and I can only imagine how your Mommy aches for you, for a return to all of those happy days you shared traveling the country together, both of you working tirelessly, but happily, to help deserving Greys such as yourself find their forever homes; simply having fun, two best friends heading out for a day of adventure; hitting the beach, hiking the trails, sharing a quiet moment of reflection beneath that glorious blue sky.
There isn't a doubt in my mind that a higher power led you to your Mommy, assigning you a very special job; that of helping her to heal not only emotionally, but physically, after her devastating diagnosis. I truly believe that. And while you may no longer be there with her in body, your spirit and your love for her, and hers for you, live on in her heart, held safely there until that wonderful, joyful day of reunion. You truly are a Dog of a Lifetime, Thalion, and your Mommy the luckiest soul on earth to have had a best friend; a teacher, healer and soul mate in you, to have been loved by you. So continue to look down on her from above, sweetheart, and send down lots and lots of love to comfort her. She misses you so very much.
To Thalion's Mommy~
Thank you so very much for giving us the chance to pay tribute to your beautiful boy, and all that he means to you. How lucky he was, having a Mom as devoted as you. You gave him the best life imaginable, and he left this world knowing just how loved he was. I hope with all of my heart, that seeing him being honored here today, reading the heartfelt words of caring and condolence from fellow dog lovers give you some small measure of comfort. And I hope and pray you are doing well. I know no pup can ever take Thalion's place in your heart; he was one in a million. But hopefully some time in the future another deserving dog will come into your life; you have so much love to give.

Congratulations on DOTD
.((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( hugs to your mom)))))))))))))))))))))
Thalion, so very nice to see you here and celebrate your being DOTD!!! We followed your battle with osteo on COG, your Mom will know us from there. Hopefully you are playing with Jamey at the 'Bridge. You were a beautiful hound, Thalion, you remind Mom of one of our greys.
Any dog, cat or pet being featured is special, but these magnificent Greyhounds just light up one's day so much!
Well, I, too, have spent the last few minutes crying. What a wonderful tribute to such a perfect dog, Thalion. You are surely missed by your Mom and friends.
I loved how your Mom told us all about your adventures and travels. You certainly were fortunate to have so many trips to other places and were "on the go" for a long time.
I trust your RB time has been relaxing for you. I am sure you have many new friends there. Rest in Peace sweet Thalion.
What a handsome, noble face you have Thalion. You're such a comfort to your Mom and I know your spirit will always stay close by her. I hope you've met our Basil at the bridge, he enjoys a good "ahrooo" too. Well deserved Dog of the Day!

Might be a noobish question, but what do i have to do to switch off the Dingoo, after i installed this image (the 4bit one btw ^^ )? edit: Nevermind, found it myself, had to add this to dmenu:QuoteMenuItem Poweroff{Icon = "res/system/reboot.png"Name = " Poweroff"Executable = "poweroff"WorkDir = "/"}Note to myself: first seek, then ask
Reboot is reboot. You reboot the hole dingoo and you can press select during boot again to boot dingux or leave it and boot the native firmware.I have both menu items. One with a red button for shutdown and a yellow one for reboot.
MenuItem Reboot{Icon = "res/system/reboot.png"Name = " Reboot"Executable = "reboot"WorkDir = "/"}MenuItem Poweroff{Icon = "res/system/shutdown.png"Name = " Shutdown"Executable = "poweroff"WorkDir = "/"}
I also release the modified zImage in which the MMC interface mode is set to 4-bit. (Faster R/W speed, but more probabilities to corrupt your SD card. In fact, it works well in my dingoo so I'm using this one. Freaks only!! )
If your dingux wont boot, then the fs is corrupt

what causes squibs?
So, using same cases, treated the same way, same powder, same primer, same bullet, same everything and all from same batch, what might cause 1 round in say a test batch of 24, to be a squib, that leaves a bullet lodged 3/4 of the way down the barrel? [.38 spc, win brass, 6 grains HS-6, CCI 500 small pistol primers, 125 grain Rainier copper plated Flat point] all weighed, exact same charge, so what happened, why?
No two things are exactly the same, not even identical twins.
The best any scientist can do is to refer to the numbers.
First, measure everything and establish the baseline.
If everything measured is within tolerance, then check for barrel obstruction.
Since a loader cannot determine a faulty primer, a weak primer could be suspected.
Then there is moisture; one case may have the presence of an unacceptable level of moisture.
The human factor cannot be disregarded. We all have lapses. There is always the possibility one of the cases did not get sufficient prowder.
It MAY have been light powder charge, but poorly burning primer is also a likely suspect. Be very careful in handling primers once they are out of the package- sizing lube will degrade or completely kill a primer. With a bad spark plug, powder does not get lit properly.
I have a dillon 650 that will give me a case with no powder in about 1 in 2000. Nobody can figure out why. "Murphys" enforcement teams keep a close eye on amunition loading also I guess
With small powder charges, any deviation is major, by % of change. My machine operated powder measure has a practical tolerance of +/- .1 grn, so when I am loading at 4.0 grns, a deviation of .1 grns is 2.5%. This is noticeable enough that I can feel and here it in my 1911.
My load range in 3.7-4.2 for a 200 grn bullet in my .45, using VV N310. That's a total range of 10-11%. You are changing 14% by dropping to 6 grns from 7 grns.
I have never seen a squib load that had unburned powder in the chamber/case.
Some have reported powder contamination, but I have never seen it.
Thus, it is almost always due to NO powder or just a few kernels (operator or measure error).
The solution is to use an RCBS Lock-Out Die and inspect the inside of each case before seating the bullet.
One problem people have is admitting that they may have made a mistake and will blame any thing but themselves.
I had one KB. I load test rounds on my Dillon 1050. I have station 6 set for expand/powder charge, with station 5, the standard powder drop station, empty.
I raise the ram and then pour the powder into the case. Lower the ram, inspect the powder charge, put a bullet on the charged case, and raise the ram--so I can charge the next case.
Once, I lowered the ram and, getting out of rhythm (never get out of rhythm), I poured the charge into the PTE die and poured powder over the case and shell plate. I cleaned off the shell plate, emptied the case, and continued. I had a KB. I assume that some powder got into the empty case in station 6 and I did not inspect it. I thought I had, I am "convinced" I did, but that is the only explanation I can come to.
Thus, now, my rule is if any thing "funny" happens, I clear the shell plate, fix the problem, inspect every case, dump out any charged case(s), and work those cases through singly--knowing that they are out of process and must be treated individually.
Be careful with stuff like WD40 on your firearm or around your ammo. It will trash your ammo.

Other donation rules still applyOf course, the general tax laws regarding all charitable gifts still apply to automotive gifts.
Of course, the general tax laws regarding all charitable gifts still apply to automotive gifts.
First, the timing of your donation is critical. All charitable gifts must be made in the tax year for which you are filing the return. To claim a donated auto on your current tax return, you must have given the vehicle to a charity by Dec. 31 of the tax year for which it is claimed.
Be sure to check out the charity before dropping off your auto. Thousands of philanthropic groups accept gifts of vehicles. The important thing is to make sure that the one you select is a reputable and tax-qualified organization. Unfortunately, some con artists take advantage of people's good intentions and accept cars that never go to philanthropic causes.
Other groups may well do valuable community work, but they are not approved charitable organizations under IRS rules. Ask for copies of the group's federal tax-exempt status documents. You also can check out the IRS' website directory to see if the charity is on the approved list or peruse GuideStar's registry at GuideStar.org, which provides information on millions of U.S. nonprofit organizations. Finally, you can use IRS' online search tool, Exempt Organizations Select Check, to determine if the charity meets IRS rules.
Next, to write off your auto gift, you must itemize instead of claiming the standard deduction. That means you have to keep track of what you give and file the long Form 1040 and Schedule A on which you list itemized deductions.
If your old car is the only deduction you can claim on Schedule A, giving it to a charity may not be worth it from a tax standpoint. But if your itemized expenses are close to your standard deduction amount, adding the value of a donated car could be just what you need to make itemizing the right tax choice this year.
Also keep in mind that as a tax deduction, the value of your car does not directly cut your tax bill. Deductions are used to reduce your taxable income, which usually does mean you'll owe less taxes. But a deduction's actual worth depends on your tax bracket. That means a donation of a $300 auto translates to a tax cut of only $75 for a filer in the 25 percent tax range.
So if you would rather have the cash instead of a comparatively small tax break, sell your old auto. If, on the other hand, you're feeling generous -- or don't want to spend what it would take to get the clunker in sellable shape -- giving it to a charity might be the better route.

By Kevin Sitek updated on 07/08/2009
This weekend I stumbled across the ESPN ScoreCenter app. And let me tell you this app is a must have for any sports nut or even a non-sports nut like myself. First off being a designer, this app is beautifully designed compared to 95% of the other sports app out there. Secondly, it's F-R-E-E! And third, it is for both the iPhone and iPod touch.
When you first launch the app there is a loading screen that gives you a "Did You Know" factoid that is relevant to what is going on in sports for that day. For instance, yesterday was the Mens Wimbledon Final and the factoid informed me that the last American to win the Mens Wimbledon Final was Pete Sampras in 2000. I definitely used that little nugget to impress my wife who is a tennis fanatic.
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
The app loads all the scores fairly quickly 10 - 15 seconds (of course this depends upon your 3G or wireless connection). The interface is beautiful and simple to use and lets you customize what sports & teams scores you want to have displayed. They have everything including Rugby and even the English Premier League for "Football" or Soccer as we call it over here in the states. And that is just scratching the surface of what is available for the Soccer.
Here are just some of the sports offered:
• Football/Soccer
• Baseball (MLB)
• American Football (NFL)
• Basketball (NBA)
• Ice Hockey (NHL)
• NCAA College Football, Basketball
• NASCAR, Formula 1, Indycar
• Golf
• Tennis
• Cricket
• Rugby
The best part is that you can arrange the order of your sports and teams to your personal preferences.
Once you have your preferences set up you are returned to the main page and it acts very similar to the iPhone's Weather app. Each sports has it's own screen. You just flick and you are taken to the next sports screen. ScoreCenter uses the same little white breadcrumb dots (that you see at the bottom of your home screen) at the bottom of each sports screen so you can see where you are and how many sports pages you have set up. At the bottom of the screen is ESPN's trademark sports news ticker which is a great bonus with all the current sports news of the day.
The MLB scores screen is very impressive and well thought out. It shows the scores of the games for the day and if you want more detailed information you tap on that game's button and it launches a another window with all that is currently going on for that game. It is highly detailed including, balls, strikes, outs, who at bat, whose on base, who is currently pitching, etc. I have to say I was quite impressed when I was following the Yankees vs Blue Jays game on Saturday with ScoreCenter.
Once a game is final and you can find out who the top performers for both teams were, the season series score between both teams, the standings for your teams division and options to get even more in-depth recap by tapping on a link to the ESPN Mobile Web.
The only thing that this app is missing is push notification for your teams. That would be awesome to have. So I hope you folks at ESPN are listening.
This definitely receives my iPhone Life Editor's Choice Award for an app.
Click here to download ESPN ScoreCenter and enjoy!
All the best,

It's hard to talk about Australians without mentioning beer.
You obviously don't talk about the non-beer-drinking Australians, then!
Remember, a Dragon is for life!
I've always believed they had landed,BUT,FOX really had changed my mind to some degree.
What about the ODDs.
7 missions without any casualties.Give me a break!
I am not convinced.
On the the other hand,when they came back safe and sound,
some of them died in all kind of accidents.
Don't know what to think.Confused!
And I also have a problem,with pres.J.Kennedy's plan"to send man to the Moon by the end of the 60-s".
What are the ODDs,that it actually would had come true right on the target in 1969.
I am talking about the ODDs only here.
Russians didn't have technology those days to prove anything in deep Space this way or another.
"Why didn't Russia even bother to land a cosmonaut on the Moon after the
Americans beat them to it??? Many people would say that its because it was too
late, but if you want to look at it like that, why didn't this apply to NASA
the Russians beat America in putting the first satellite, animal, man, woman
and space station into orbit? Russia would not have thrown in the towel just
because America had beaten them at one single thing in Space!"
I have to add to the list also the "first spacewalk".
But I guess soon we all will know the truth.Was it really possible?:
And more:
Has anybody found my comments helpful?
Seven missions without a casualty? Tell that to Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. Granted they weren't actually in space, but they were killed in the Apollo 1 fire. To say that it's impossible because nobody died in space is ludicrous. Astronauts were pilots first, and often test pilots. Even after traveling in space, they still tended to enjoy this or other risky behavior. They weren't timid people, after all, and so they tended to die in accidents. I'm not sure if their death rate at a younger age was appreciably higher than the average though, but I tend to doubt it.
As for getting to the moon just at the tail end of 1969, it didn't just work out that way. There were tens of thousands of people working their asses off to get it done before 1970. It was a deadline that everyone desperately wanted to make, and the fact that they did it is a testament to all of their determinations.
As for why the Russians didn't do it, there's a big difference between reaching space and landing on the moon. The cost of landing on the moon was many, many factors higher than getting a man inTO space. Russia just couldn't justify the expense if there was nothing to be gained from it politically. Even America only did it for the prestige, there was nothing else to be gained from it.
Russians didn

The dead ones don't, or so I've heard.
Ray Bradbury.
"What are the ODDs,that it actually would had come true right on the target in 1969."
What's so odd about that? I'm sure JFK had his science and engineering people do a lot of work on the feasibility of a moon landing before making that historic challenge. After the announcement, it was just a matter of executing a carefully laid out plan (and having a blank check from Congress). In fact, if it wasn't for the Apollo 1 tradgedy they probably would have accomplished it two years early.
As for those astronauts who died after returning, like Chary said, the lifestyle of fighter pilots and test pilots gives them a good chance of dying young and in unusual ways. Some died in jet crashes (surprise!), car and motorcycle accidents, the same as the ones who never flew in space or were in training. I heard a statistic, which I haven't been able to confirm, that claims, of all military pilots who are in the service for 20 years or more, 25% are killed. And that doesn't include wartime. It's a dangerous business.
I'm guessing you were born after the Apollo missions. For those of us that were around, it was an exciting time. Sorry you missed it.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
Sorry if this is a repeat question. I am new to the whole VMS/Pathworks environment. My company currently runs OpenVMS v7.1 for VAX with Pathworks Advanced Served v6.0A as our PDC. The clients are all Win NT 4.0 Workstations with Pathworks 32. We want to add a BDC to the domain. Can we add a Win 2000 Server to be the BDC or is that not supported (does the BDC have to be NT Server 4.0)?
The Answer is :
HP PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) and its follow-on product, HP Advanced Server V7 for OpenVMS, are both implementations of the Microsoft LanManager 3.0 file and print server, an implementation based on and interoperable with the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 platform. Microsoft does not support Windows 2000 configured as a Backup Domain Controller (BDC) to a Windows NT 4.0 server, and as such neither would OpenVMS support Windows 2000 being a BDC to a PATHWORKS server. To add a Windows 2000 server to the domain would require making the Windows 2000 server be configured as the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) for the domain. Further, PATHWORKS V6.0A for OpenVMS is no longer a supported version. PATHWORKS V6.1 is the supported version. PATHWORKS V6.1 introduces support for what is known as Member Server Role, which would then allow you to configure the Windows 2000 server in native mode. Windows 2000 is supported only with PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS, or with Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS, and (potentially) with later Advanced Server releases (as available).

Saudi Arabia has executed at least 19 people since August 4, 2014. Local news reports indicate that eight of those executed were convicted of nonviolent offenses, seven for drug smuggling and one for sorcery.
Family members of another man, Hajras bin Saleh al-Qurey, told Human Rights Watch on August 17 that they fear his execution is imminent. The Public Court of Najran, in southern Saudi Arabia, sentenced al-Qurey to death by beheading on January 16, 2013 for allegedly smuggling drugs and attacking a police officer during his arrest.
Saudi Arabia beheaded 19 in seven days
Saudi Arabia has executed at least 19 people since August 4, 2014. Local news reports indicate that eight of those executed were convicted of nonviolent offenses, seven for drug smuggling and one for sorcery.
U.S. Avoided Threat to Act on Israel's Civilian Targeting
United Nations officials and human rights organisations have characterised Israeli attacks on civilian targets during the IDF war on Gaza as violations of the laws of war.
During the war, Israeli bombardment leveled whole urban neighbourhoods, leaving more than 10,000 houses destroyed and 30,000 damaged and killing 1,300 civilians, according to U.N. data. Israeli forces also struck six schools providing shelter to refugees under U.N. protection, killing at least 47 refugees and wounding more than 340.
But the Barack Obama administration's public posture during the war signaled to Israel that it would not be held accountable for such violations.
Obama's Pentagon Covered Up War Crimes in Afghanistan, Says Amnesty International
The human-rights group reports the U.S. military systematically ignored evidence of torture and unlawful killings in Afghanistan as recently as last year.
The U.S. military has systematically covered up or disregarded "abundant and compelling evidence" of war crimes, torture, and unlawful killings in Afghanistan as recently as last year, according to a report by Amnesty International published today in Kabul.
The human rights organization alleges that the U.S. military has routinely failed to properly investigate reports of criminal behavior and, in some instances, tampered with evidence to conceal wrongdoing. On the rare occasions when servicemen are held to account, the report found that the compromised military justice system seldom secured justice for the victims of enforced disappearances, killings, and abuse that included torture.
These Undocumented Teens Outsmarted MIT—and Still Can't Get Real Jobs in America
The film tells the story of four undocumented Mexican teenagers who are members of a robotics club at Carl Hayden High School in the barrio of Phoenix; their parents speak no English, and their own horizons are limited.
With the help of dedicated teachers, they build an underwater robot and enter a grueling collegiate competition held at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2004. The boys figure they might learn something from the older college-age engineers showing off their robots.
Gaza raids further traumatize children suffering from PTSD
The traumatization of young people in Gaza looks set to become a lingering wound of the latest Israeli airstrikes, adding to the burden of mental-health experts whose work to heal child PTSD sufferers in the territory has, yet again, been set back by renewed shelling.
The latest wave of bombardments has made it impossible for child psychologists to finish the delicate task of rebuilding the mental health of kids suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from previous waves of conflict, according to a children's rights group on the ground.
Meanwhile, parents report renewed signs of anxiety and stress among the young. Umm Fadi's daughters have begun wetting their beds at night. It is a common phenomenon during the past offensives.
Files on UK role in CIA rendition accidentally destroyed, says minister
The government's problems with missing files deepened dramatically when the Foreign Office claimed documents on the UK's role in the CIA's global abduction operation had been destroyed accidentally when they became soaked with water.
In a statement that human rights groups said "smacked of a cover-up", the department maintained that records of post-9/11 flights in and out of Diego Garcia, the British territory in the Indian Ocean, were "incomplete due to water damage".
Video shows Arab-American cousin of murdered Palestinian teen being beaten by Israeli police
Tariq Khdeir, 15, of Tampa, Florida was allegedly beaten and detained by Israeli security forces, according to Palestinian media reports.
Khdeir is the Palestinian-American cousin of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, who was murdered on Wednesday in a suspected revenge attack following the discovery of the bodies of the three abducted Israeli teens.

The Ideal Aesthetic Doctor: Are Emotional Needs or Competency More Important?
Chako S. on 24 Apr 2014 at 9:28pm
We asked the RealSelf community to describe the ideal aesthetic doctor in five words or less and the stand-out words might surprise you. You'd assume "steady hand" or "meticulous" or even "smart" would bubble up to the top of the list, but alas, no! The top three adjectives used to describe the ideal doctor are "experienced," "honest," and "caring." And there are even more emotional words ranking up higher like "kind" and "nice," which are adjacent to "perfectionist" and "competent." In the graphic below, you can see the balance between wanting a doctor who can satisfy a consumer's emotional needs (honest, compassionate, attentive) versus one who is super-knowledgeable and professional. In fact, one look at the word cloud below, and you might think we asked our community to describe the ideal psychologist, not the ideal doctor.
With the rise of the Internet and sites like RealSelf, consumers can seek out an unbiased, 360-view of any treatment or procedure at any time. This means they are taking a much more active role in the doctor-patient relationship — with an emphasis on relationship. In the case of the elective procedure, the consumer is making a decision that is much more personal, which is why an emotional connection with the doctor is just as valuable as the doctor's depth of knowledge.
Oh, yeah, and lest we forget: RealSelfers even threw a "sexy" in the list of ideal doctor attributes because why not!

The world's best athletes may be competing for medals in London right now, but a different kind of Olympics is occurring in communities around the U.S., with different rewards for its participants. Senior Olympic games are held in almost every state, with the chance to move on to the National Senior Games. The athletic feats of the participants are impressive, but the medals are not the only reward for these seniors.
Many senior athletes who participate in the Games enjoy the social atmosphere more than anything else, according to The Tennessean. Joe Saggione, 53, who participated in the Tennessee Senior Olympics, said he loves getting together with other Olympians.
"We meet other couples and sometimes travel together as friends," he told the news outlet. "It's more in keeping with fun road trips than competitive tournaments. Basically, it's the social aspects that we enjoy more than anything."
Of course, the Games are also an opportunity to keep seniors active and fit. The National Senior Games Association is the nonprofit member of the United States Olympic Committee that governs the Summer National Senior Games and oversees other state games. According to its official website, the Association's aim is to improve senior living and motivate senior men and women to lead healthy lifestyles.
