I just read the complete report. To threaten violence on the internet is a very dumb thing to do and is obviously going to get them monitored by Big Brother. It's just dumb. Unfortunately, it could play into the leftists' plans. However, there is a Silent Majority in this Country. It is finally becoming vocal and it will get louder. Vote, be smart, be active and speak the truth. Mark Twain said: "Speak the truth and shame the Devil."
Maybe thats the reason I'm hearing about foriegn troops being stationed on US soil
I beg to differ. My position on a military Naval Air Station allows me to observe foreign nationals training to be pilots.

Is anyone surprised to hear that people are afraid and willing to take up arms to protect our way of life? The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry. I guess the ADL is a watch-dog for anti-government sentiment? The above is off thier website.

Family planning experts get honest?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The Polar Bears? No way; we are the Jets
Now that the Globe and Mail has assured us we'll have an NHL team next year -- though the principals haven't confirmed what amounts to an adoption -- we are left to wonder what the parents are going to call their new baby.
I don't know, but I have a gnawing gut feeling what they won't be calling it.
The Winnipeg Jets.
That's what I want. Not the Moose, or the Falcons or ---- Don Cherry help us -- the provincially politically correct Polar Bears. And if what the young fans were wearing and waving when they gathered at Portage and Main Thursday night to celebrate the unofficial return of the NHL didn't send Mark Chipman and David Thomson a clear-enough message; if what 60 per cent of the more than 11,000 fans who freely voted in a Free Press online poll doesn't get their attention; or if what local brand strategist Derrick Coupland said when he compared the marketing impact of the Jets name to the brand power of Viagra didn't give them a big visual...
If none of that makes a difference, nothing I write will, either. But that's never stopped me before, has it?
-- -- --
Let's start with the obvious, which often isn't. It was the Winnipeg Jets that took off 15 years ago and it's the return of the Winnipeg Jets we've been hoping would land again one day.
The Winnipeg Jets are us and we are the Winnipeg Jets.
If the world knows nothing else about our city, they know the name of the hockey team that did the most to introduce European players to North American professional hockey.
It's our international brand.
That's why Coupland suggested you don't have to be a marketing expert to know why the Jets should be the obvious first choice. Companies can spend millions of dollars trying to create an identity, a brand like the Jets. A name that evokes memories of childhood, place, pride and customer loyalty. All of which creates tradition. But there is no tradition without continuity.
That's part of what makes the great sports franchises great.
The Montreal Canadiens, the New York Yankees, the Green Bay Packers have all had the same basic logo and uniforms since I was a kid, and before that. Even their current uniforms have a retro look. For the Canadiens, it's the red, white and blue sweaters that link Beliveau, Lafleur and Cammalleri; with the Yankees it's the pinstripes that DiMaggio, Mantle and Jeter have all worn. For the Packers, it was Starr, Favre and Rodgers passing and receiving the torch of team tradition. And for the Jets, it was Hull to Hedberg to Hawerchuk; three great players linked over two leagues by the same team name.
As I write this, I can't believe I even have to.
If people who are going to make the naming decision don't get the value of the Jets name, it's because they never wanted to and they don't understand who matters most.
The fans who buy the tickets.
Of course, the fans will learn to live with whatever name is chosen, but why wouldn't the owners take every advantage they can with a team that's destined to be a financially marginal business at best?
The name National Hockey League, or more specifically, the name of league commissioner Gary Bettman, is associated with memories of rejection and loss for our city.
The return of the NHL should bring us a sense of accomplishment.
Of doing what no one outside of the city, no one outside of a faithful few led by Mark Chipman and David Thomson, thought we could do.
So why not bring back the Jets?
Well, maybe they will, even if my gut tells me otherwise. It tells me otherwise because I don't think we'd even be discussing this if the ownership wasn't preparing us through the media for a different name.
Why another name?
Maybe Chipman wants it to be his own team, his own brand. Maybe because the NHL owns and controls the use of the name. And Bettman, the man who acts as if he's never been wrong about anything, is going to be sure the Winnipeg Jets will never return.
I hope I'm wrong.
Maybe the Jets will fly again. But if they do, it'll probably be the Manitoba Jets.
Can I live with that?
What choice do any of us have?
But first things first.
The Jets haven't landed yet.
Or the Falcons or the Polar Bears. Can you imagine? An NHL team from Winnipeg with an endangered species on its sweater.
Come, Jets, come.

High Contrast Construction Funding Blog Careers Contact Us
To receive the Board Actions newsletter via e-mail, contact Joel Zlotnik at email@example.com or (714) 560-5713.
The OCTA board approved the selection of HDR Engineering, Inc. as the project management consultant for the Santa Ana/Garden Grove Streetcar project.
The contract to manage the streetcar project is for five-year, with two two-year options. Funding for the project comes from Measure M, the county's half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements and from the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program. The majority of funding – nearly 89 percent – is expected to come from federal funds.
Monday's action was another important step forward for the Santa Ana/Garden Grove streetcar project. Earlier this year, the project's environmental impact report won approvals from city councils in both cities, clearing the way for OCTA to take the lead on implementing the project.
The streetcar project will provide "last-mile" transportation for people traveling from transportation hubs to major employment, retail and recreational centers. It will make stops at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, traveling through Downtown Santa Ana and the Civic Center. It will operate along Fourth Street and Santa Ana Boulevard, continuing along the Pacific Electric right-of-way to connect with a transit hub at Harbor Boulevard and Westminster Avenue in Garden Grove.
In all, the streetcar will operate on a route more than four-miles long and will include 12 stops, carrying an estimated 6,000 riders daily by 2035. Construction is planned to start in 2017 and streetcars are expected to begin operating in 2019.
The board reviewed results of the 2014 Fixed Route Bus Services Customer Satisfaction Survey, which showed that 90 percent of bus riders in 2014 said they were satisfied with OCTA's fixed-route bus services.
OCTA's goal is to create a balanced transportation system supporting the diverse needs of travelers while improving mobility, reducing emissions and ultimately enhancing the quality of life for Orange County. OCTA's fixed-route bus system is an integral part of that goal, with 77 routes operating throughout the county, serving about 160,000 riders per day on weekdays.
OCTA performed the customer satisfaction survey to measure how it is serving riders and to identify potential areas of improvement. More than 2,500 bus riders from a sampling of routes were surveyed. They were allowed to complete the survey on their own in English, Spanish or Vietnamese. Among the findings:
The survey also indicated potential areas of improvement. Riders expressed lower levels of satisfaction with information provided at bus stops (72 percent), the cost of riding the bus (68 percent), on-time performance of the bus (67 percent) and frequency of buses/wait times at bus stops (62 percent).
Board members requested additional information about on-time performance of the bus system to gauge what possible improvements could be considered.
When asked to rate the importance of various aspects of the bus service, riders indicated that buses running on-time is the most important (94 percent rated as extremely or very important), followed by safety of the bus (92 percent), safety of bus stops (92 percent) and travel time for their trip (91 percent).
The board received a report from Eric Woolery, Orange County's auditor-controller and the chairman of the Measure M Taxpayers Oversight Committee, who said that the committee determined that Measure M is being delivered as promised to Orange County voters for the 24th consecutive year.
The 11-member oversight committee held its annual public hearing for Measure M on Feb. 10, looking at how Measure M, the half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements, was being delivered in 34 cities and in the county. Woolery said the committee looked at a variety of factors, including freeway improvement projects, pavement management, signal synchronization and overall expenditures.
In the end, the committee unanimously determined that the Orange County Transportation Authority is proceeding in accordance with the ordinances that were approved by voters in 1990 and renewed in 2006.
Former OCTA director and former Orange Mayor Carolyn Cavecche received a special presentation and accolades from OCTA board members for her work on the Metrolink Board of Directors.
Cavecche, who stepped down from the Metrolink board in January after four years of service, was lauded by OCTA board members as a dedicated public servant, a tireless advocate and a strong voice for transportation.
Cavecche ended her term on the OCTA board in 2012, but continued to serve on the Metrolink board at a time when it faced significant financial and organizational challenges.
OCTA board members who served with Cavecche said that her leadership will be missed but that the contributions she made will forever benefit the millions of commuters who rely upon Metrolink.

Weather this cold must be the dream of every coffee shop proprietor, right? Not so, says Jeff Sommer, co-owner of the T.M. Ward Coffee Company in Newark with his parents, two brothers and a sister. ''It's definitely coffee-drinking weather, but foot traffic is down,'' he said. ''It's tough to get people out.'' Still, on a recent arctic morning, with flurries in the air and the promise of more to come, the register was busy ringing up cups of piping hot java.
Apparently some habits are hard to break, and regulars have had years to develop the habit of dropping by on the way to work. Founded in 1869, Ward's has been in Mr. Sommer's family since the 1920's. It has been situtated near City Hall for 65 years, but it seems straight out of the 19th century, with a pressed-tin ceiling, wooden barrels full of candy (20 lollipops for $1), bags of fresh-roasted peanuts ($1.79 a pound) and coffee beans spilling out of burlap bags. It also has a location at 7 South Passaic Avenue in Chatham.
Ward's brews 12 to 15 kinds of coffee at all times, including the best-selling Ward's Deluxe (a proprietary full-bodied blend) and enticing house-made flavors like Wow, with hints of caramel, coconut and chocolate, and the intriguing Lunch With Elvis, with flavors of banana and coconut. If you don't find a flavor of your liking among the store's 5,000 pounds of beans, you can create your own blend. ''People come in and say, 'I want good body but I don't want a French or Italian roast,' so we'll blend 12 ounces of this, 2 ounces of that, and 2 ounces of a dark roast to bring it to a pound,'' Mr. Sommer said. ''No extra charge.'' Now that's good old-fashioned service. Gretchen Kurtz
The T.M. Ward Coffee Company, 944 Broad Street, Newark; (973)623-1202. Open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Get paid cash by check or Paypal

Free shipping
Price valid for 30 days
Any college student knows how quickly textbooks get replaced with newer editions. That means those old editions can go out of style fast. Therefore, it's always a good idea to sell your textbooks sooner, rather than later, to get the biggest buyback payment you can.
When prices can drop so quickly, we want to make sure the money you'll receive is protected. That's why we guarantee all quotes on completed orders for 30 days. Secure your quote early and send the book when you're ready.
Get more cash and get it sooner. What's not to like?
Books with minor signs of wear and tear: such as staining, discoloration, writing, highlighting, markings, tears, and other general damage from use. All pages included and all text legible. You will receive the whole quoted amount.
Books with excessive writing, highlighting, and other markings; cover damage; torn pages; odor; or severe staining. All pages included and all text legible. You will receive half the quoted amount.
Books with missing pages or illegible text. We do not accept books in this condition. They will be recycled if sent.
Alternate Editions
Some books have the same title but different ISBNs and different buyback values. These include instructor editions, international editions, annotated editions, and others. These editions require all supplemental materials (CDs, access codes, etc.) to be included. Be sure to enter the correct ISBN to receive an accurate quote!
Check the title page of your book. The ISBN will be the 10- or 13-digit number you see there. The ISBN can also sometimes be found above the bar code on the back cover, but we recommend double-checking the title page to make sure you are entering the correct ISBN.
If you are trying to sell an instructor's edition, an international edition, or any other sort of alternate version of a textbook, look carefully! These editions will often have two ISBNs printed on them: one for the normal student version and one for the alternate.
Be sure to pay close attention to the title and description of the item in your cart when selling, to make sure it matches up with the edition of the textbook you are selling.

Reflection Story
"Thanksgiving Anyway!"
Most folks look at Thanksgiving in slightly different ways. I think its all in how we have grown up, what sort of traditions we've had, our current celebration or observance of a time that we all have drilled into our hearts and minds of the first Thanksgiving "meal" between Europeans and Native Americans. If you have ever had an opportunity to take a close look at some of the details of that original meal, it was very different than the Thanksgiving we celebrate today in some fashion or another. Whatever their reasons, and the Jamestown community didn't have too many reasons to celebrate. (many had died from scurvy, different forms of influenza, etc.) And then there was the inherent mistrust between the two groups. A history teacher could go into much further detail than I.

Drovers Inn at Dallowgill destroyed by fire
6 comments
we were actually staying at the Moor house that night. it was the most horrendous and horrific fire ever. Our thoughts go out to Lynn and Steve and their Granddaughter. Also to Jane and Andy. Every one did what they possible could before the fire crews turned up. It was such a tragic end to a Easter weekend. Thank god no one was hurt !!!!!! Mr and Mrs Bostock rallied round and people came to offer warm blankets and hot tea. Still living each moment of the horrific event.
absolutely gutted to see the drovers burned out,went for
evening meal on wednesday 3/4/13 what a shock when we got
there our thoughts are with lynn, steve and family.
all the best,carol and dave st helens merseyside,(winksley banks caravan park) -
Very shocked to hear the news, the day after the fire, from a friend at Ripon. We have a caravan at Ripon and we've gone to The Drovers for our Sunday lunch for several years now, always enjoyed the excellent meals, always greeted with a smile and felt so very welcome by Lynn and Steve, and the regulars, with whom we've built up friendships and enjoyed a chat. So very sorry for Lynn and Steve, devastating to lose so much in the fire, their home and their livelihood, but relieved to know that everyone got out safely. We emailed some photos of the inside of the Inn to Lynn a few weeks ago, so poignant now.
Best Wishes to all, hope to see you around X -
Though I am relieved to know that Lynn and Steve were not physically harmed, I am profoundly saddened to learn of their loss and offer my most heartfelt condolences. I spend my summers at Winksley Banks, and from May through September at least, was among the regulars at the Little Drover's every Sunday for lunch. It was the very essence of a country pub: the hub of the local community where all were warmly welcomed. It will be sorely missed. Scott Caesar, Englewood, Florida.
I have just found out about the fire which happened to the Drovers Inn. My Dad loved this pub and enjoyed a pint whenever he visited his lovely cottage in Kirky Malzaerd. My Dad saddly passed away aged 56 some 14 years ago. The owners of the Drovers very kindly let my sister and I put a bench up outside the pub with a plaque on in rememberence of our Dad. If anyone could please send me the email address of the owners I would very much like to contact them. I hope someone can help. Caroline
How sad, we used to travel for miles from all over Yorkshire, for great food.
Hope it gets rebuilt, although I know Steve's health wasn't too good. Glad nobody was hurt. Our thoughts are with you ….Ian & Paula.. Wirral.

1:15 her gods. A new element is introduced. Up to now it might have been assumed that the daughters had become worshipers of the Lord. Now it becomes clear that the choice of homeland is a choice for or against the true God. Against the background of Orpah's choice, the courage and beauty of Ruth's declaration (vv. 16–17) is all the more obvious.

text: BOY SCOUT TROOP 629 NEWSLETTER February 2008 This newsletter is intended for scouts and their families. Please assist us in sharing this information with other parents and scouts. DOWNLOAD THIS NEWSLETTER AT THE www.troop629.org Scoutmaster Minute by Fran Gillis A good habit to for each scout to get into is to have a written plan on how they will be meeting the goals they have established for themselves. Be it for school or scouting, that plan should probably be based around a calendar with key dates of actions required and it should be clearly visible and/or reviewed on a daily basis – say like on the bedroom door so you get to see it each day as you come and go. Some short term goals and of course the long term goal of making eagle could be annotated on that calendar with notations of each new rank on that trail is desired, upcoming activities and key participation requirements. That long term goal should also have a target for obtaining eagle rank by the summer of your Junior year in high school to obtain the maximum benefit for senior year college and scholarship applications. So why not take a few moments now to put together that dynamic plan and have a pencil handy nearby to add and change those key dates as they become known to update each and every day as you go forward on your personal quest. **********ORGANIZE YOUR FAMILY CALENDAR********** February Reminders (Patrols collect canned food for NFCC): Feb 1st-2nd: Lock-in Feb 2nd: GB TG Training "A" ~ Gwinnett Gladiators Night ('Be Prepared' section) Feb 3rd: Committee Meeting has been moved to Feb. 4th Feb 4th: 6:30 Committee Meeting prior to 7:15 Troop Meeting ~ 1st Summer Camp deposit due ~ Pine Mntn.

The Committee will meet in the sanctuary on South Campus (usual Monday night meeting area). Pine Mountain Backpacking This is a fun two-day trip to cover a 12-15 miles trek along the Pine Mountain Trail in Georgia. Hikers depart morning of Sat., Feb 9th and return afternoon of Sunday the 10th. Permission slip and $20 (cost of meals and trail fees) are due Feb. 4th. Backpackers need to coordinate with a buddy to pack in all the gear they need for the overnight trek. See the link in the Flyer section for more details or contact your PL (Patrol Leader), SPL (Senior Patrol Leader) or SM (Scoutmaster). Spring Flower Sales begin Packets will be distributed at Monday's meeting on Feb. 25th. The scouts have 5 weekends to sell. Do not fret over the drought ruining our fundraiser. We will still have our water-friendly planters and hanging baskets on the menu. A single order of one of these items can earn as much (if not more) to a boy's High Adventure account as if he were to sell one flat. Orders are due to be turned in on Monday night March 31st. Upon your return from spring break the flower orders will be delivered for pickup after noon on Friday April 18th at the back lot of the Mount Pisgah South Chapel. Orders can also be handily placed on the troop's website http://www.troop629.org/flowers/index.htm -spread the word to your neighbors. This fundraiser is designed especially to boost the individual scouts' High Adventure accounts. It has one of the highest profit margins of the troop's various fundraising events, and there are scouts who earn hundreds of dollars every year from it. Chad Colopy has agreed to partner with Chris Cotney to run the troop's spring flower sales this year. Thank you Chris and Chad for sharing your Green Thumbs! Camp on your own Private Georgia Barrier Island! Your PLC (Patrol Leader Council) has outdone itself in planning a fun outing for you! Leave early Fri. morning (Fulton Co. teacher workday) March 14th to Ossabaw Island – an "invitation only" Georgia barrier island. A charter boat will ferry you there for a two-night camping adventure (our troop will be only group there) and then ferry you back to the Georgia coast on March 16th to arrive back at Mount Pisgah late afternoon. Service hours can be earned on this trip. See link in Flyer section above for more details. To realize what a rare treat this is, just ask anyone you see if they've visited any barrier island – if they have then ask if it was restricted and by invitation only! Cost for camping fee, food and charter boat service is $65 and is due along with registration on March 10th. "Limited Space" 2008 Summer Camp at Woodruff Summer Camp 2008 flyers are out and registration has begun. Make sure you get your copy and have you submitted your merit badge selections by March 31st so you have the best possible chance at getting your first choice options. The sooner you review the material and make your decisions, the more you'll love summer camp. Important details are on the troop web site under the Camping tab (across the top of page) or see the link in the Flyers section above. The first deposit is due Feb. 4th; second deposit is due March 24th; and final deposit is due May 5th along with your troop permission slip and medical form (Class II or III, depending on activities). Plan ahead as these medical forms involve a doctor's visit and signature ~ appointments aren't always easy to get at the last minute. See your SM with any summer camp questions. **********SCOUT HANDSHAKE********** EAGLE~ LIFE~ STAR~ FIRST CLASS~ SECOND CLASS~ TENDERFOOT~ SCOUT Eagle Congratulations Troop 629's newest Eagle Scout, Will C. has planned his special ceremony to celebrate and receive his Eagle award on Sunday, February 10th. The ceremony will take place at Mount Pisgah, North Campus Sanctuary, upper level in Room S305 at 5:00pm. Eagle Courts of Honor are very special recognition evenings and we hope that all scouts will attend with their families. Moms, don't forget to wear your Mother's Ribbons to these ceremonies. Advancement Congratulations for the month of January go to: EAGLE: (none this month) LIFE: (none this month) STAR: Aroon N. FIRST CLASS: (none this month) SECOND CLASS: Walker B., Nate B. and Conner P. TENDERFOOT: Chris W. SCOUT: Sam Q. Godsend Award for Troop 629 goes to…… Congratulations Leslie & Chris Cotney! Once a year, troop adults vote on a person or couple who significantly impact our troop in a positive way. Leslie and Chris were recognized by the District at the Annual Banquet this year for Troop 629's choice for the Godsend Award. They have given a great deal of their time which has impacted our troop in very positive ways over several years. Thank you for "Team Cotney" for making Troop 629 a better troop. Troop Receives Generous Donation Again this year we have been extremely fortunate to be able to continue our special leadership scholarship fund for all of our developing youth leaders through the generous donation of David Lu, MEHA Engineering, Inc. This fund goes directly into our scouts High Adventure account to reimburse them for any expenses associated with improving their leadership skills and training which comes back to our unit in better trained youth. The annual Green Bar National Youth Leadership Training and trips out to Philmont for National Advanced reimbursed by the Troop scholarship is directly supported by this generous donation for our scouts. Pass along your thanks to David when you see him next time. Annual Re-Charter/Membership A big "thank you" goes to Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church for their continued support of the Scouting program. In early December we finalized membership for the upcoming year. Currently we have 80 Scouts with approximately 50 registered adults which include several Eagle Scouts who are now adult members. We usually have about twenty new scouts on an annual basis that crossover from the local packs to our troop in the spring. Thank you Erica Fica for handling the Annual Re- Charter for Troop 629 which included the update of scout membership records along with fees for each scout. Troop 629 loves its volunteers A double scout salute is in order for two troop volunteers. Thank you, Mike Deaton for tending to our scouts' needs over the past year while pursuing religious awards in the troop's BSA Religious Emblems Program. As Mike steps down from organizing our program, Frank Rocchio has agreed to take over the title of organizer. Thank you both for recognizing and acting upon the needs of our troop and its scouts. January's Court of Honor On Monday, Jan. 28th the Troop held a Court of Honor to recognize many scouts and adult leaders for their accomplishments since the last COH in September. If you've not attended a COH in a while, you are missing out on a very impressive ceremony that speaks highly of our youth who run Troop 629 and adult volunteers who aide them. In summary: 34 Rank Advancements were awarded to 28 scouts and pinned to Mother's Ribbons; 22 scouts received a total of 39 Merit Badges; and 17 Special Awards and Training Recognitions (Troop Leader Training, CPR and Den Chief Service Award) were dispersed among 15 scouts. The spotlight also shone on the troop adults: Awards and Recognitions were given to 14 leaders spanning 8 various programs or events; and 4 adults were acknowledged for pursuing 9 courses in Adult Training. Troop 629 received high recognition in 3 areas: National Quality Unit Award; North Fulton District Honor Unit Award and 100% Boys Life. The evening of recognitions was completed with the Troop's annual Godsend Award being presented to Leslie and Chris Cotney for the positive impact they've made in our troop. Hope you didn't miss this hour-packed, inspiring ceremony which only occurs approximately three times a year. Mark your calendar for May 5th for the troop's next COH. Chances are pretty good that your scout will be standing to receive recognition for his accomplishments and an adult friend will deserve your applause. It Stands Repeating At the January COH, 15 scouts were acknowledged in three areas of Special Awards and Training. These scouts were: Den Chief Service Award to Derrick G. and Aroon N. ~~ CPR Training to Bill R. ~~ TLT (Troop Leader Training) to Jonathan A., Christopher B., Blake C., Grayson C., James D., Chap F., Derrick G., Will H., Philip K., Alex K., Dylan L., Aroon N., Bryan R., and Logan W. Troop 629 is proud of its scouts. No stitches, no casts, no lines!!! Thank you, Fran Gillis and Gregg Brasher for undertaking the detailed organization that went into our two annual ski trips this year to Winterplace and Venture's New Hampshire trip. The careful planning was apparent because the good timing avoided crowds on the slopes and at check-in. We know the scouts and parents are grateful to you both for all your efforts made on behalf of the troop. **********MAKING HISTORY********** (A section dedicated to articles submitted by our Scouts) "Scouting for Food" by Hairy Pig Patrol Leader, James D. Yes it is that time again. Patrols will be collecting food for the North Fulton Community Charities all through January and February. They will be doing it differently this year though. Each patrol will collect as many cans as possible. At the end of the two months which ever patrol gets the most cans they will win a trip to Q-zar for laser tag and all you can eat at Cici's pizza. If the troop gets 10,000 cans or more Mr. Gillis will dress up ridiculously. So talk to your Patrol Leader and collect, collect, collect!!!! Wills Park Service Project by Cory F. For the month of December, the Venture patrol went to Wills Park and picked up trash around the park from 1:30 to 3:30. Afterwards, we had some refreshments and played some football in the park. Will H., Alex K. and Cory F. attended. Norwegian Deer Meat Patrol Service Outing by Blake C. During December the Norwegian Deer Meat Patrol had a wonderful service outing that benefited the community very much. During this Patrol outing Logan W., Walker B., and Blake C. picked up trash and fished junk out of the pond near the playgrounds at Newtown Park for 3 hours. But 2/3rds of the way through we were forced to go underneath the pavilion due to heavy rain and wind and Xtreme temperature. The rain cleared up and we kept picking up junk. Later we messed around with the Frisbee and soccer. It was a pretty good outing, I guess. **********EARNING POWER********** Missed the opportunity to earn H.A. $$$? Don't despair … Fundraisers have provided many of our scouts with additional funds to use for skiing, summer camp and any High Adventure outing. Look for the next (think spring flower sales on Feb. 25th). It's never too early for a scout to start his own individual High Adventure account which the troop maintains. Many boys have been able to fund their entire big-ticket trips from accumulating earnings over the years. Keep an eye on the newsletter, website and troop bulletin board for future to sign up and earn. Troop 629 Scout Activity Scholarships Through a community service work effort, opportunities are available to all our scouts who may have a temporary cash flow problem. Troop 629 believes that no scout should be denied participation in a troop outing or event because of this very solvable problem. We can help each scout earn his own way easily enough by working off his payments with approved service hours. Just ask Scoutmaster Gillis to work out your scholarship plan, then sign up for that outing you want to go on. Fabulous Troop Fundraising Activity: KROGER GIFT CARDS - $$ Turn your grocery shopping into funds for our Scouts in Troop 629 at no cost to you! Why not participate? Join Troop 629 families in this fabulous, painless and easy monthly fundraiser. By just participating in this generous Kroger program at no cost to you and in conjunction with your normal routine of family grocery shopping, our troop receives 5% of our total gift card orders each month. These funds go directly to keep the costs down on each of our monthly activities and to help pay for various troop operational costs and scholarships. The gift cards can be used at any Kroger store or Kroger fuel center [during each use your purchase is deducted and when the amount of the card is depleted, it is kept by the cashier – new cards are issued each month and mailed to you]. There is no service charge – (if you order a $50 Kroger gift card, you will receive a $50 Kroger gift card)! To get started, call or e-mail Susan Cook (678-297-7766) with this information: • Name; Address; Phone #; E-mail address; Amount for Monthly Kroger gift card (i.e. $25; $40; $50; $75; $100, $200…etc.) Orders are placed at the end of the month for the following month. Susan will mail your Kroger gift card to you at the beginning of each month (with enclosed reminder of amount owed and her address to send payment). Return payment in the mail to Susan (she should receive this by the 22nd of the month) or you can bring payment on a Monday night troop meeting and give to her. **********SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES********** Service project opportunities are available almost every weekend and are open to all. Ask yourself when you say you're bored: Am I really bored or am I just being lazy and not really looking to get involved? Active participation for each rank is simple but many are making it difficult to meet this requirement. Active quite literally means showing up and the participation part is just as simple … you've got to get out and do something. Why not sign up for a few exciting service opportunities with one of your scout friends today? Flyers and handouts with details are available at the meetings and on the troop calendar on the website. Express your interest to the SPL and SM as to how you can get involved - it's easy - just ask. Mount Pisgah Scout Sunday Feb 10th will be the day the scouts are honored during church service at our sponsor, Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church. This will be an opportunity for scouts and leaders to wear your uniform and attend a service with your family. It is important that Troop 629 have a good showing to demonstrate our appreciation for Mount Pisgah being our charter organization. Please know you are not required to be there, nor is this a suggestion that you need to convert to being Methodist or in any way suggestive of anything other than continuing your current faith life. It would simply be as a show of support to our chartering organization. We have worked with the Church and they are planning to recognize the scouts during the service. ~~ We need greeters, scouts to stand with the honor/rank board and scouts that will attend the 9:30 am service and/or the 11:00 am service. Please email Gregg Brasher at email@example.com and let him know if you can attend and which service your son can attend. If you would like to be a part of this, please plan on arriving 30 minutes early for the given service. The Church service is conducted in the main sanctuary on the Old Alabama Road. Service Hours for Park Cleanup BSA Good Turn for America is participating with the National Park Service in planning a park cleanup day on March 29th by ridding the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area at Power Island of alien plants. Specially-designed patches will be given to all volunteers http://www.goodturn.net/events. **********BE PREPARED********** Patrol Leaders Council – Next PLC is February 21st, 2008 Once a month our SPL leads his PLC to formulate the plans for meetings and activities. Changes and/or improvements are discussed at that time and all scouts should be making sure their representative is up-to-date on issues, concerns and program request. Meet at 7pm in Room A008. Spring Cleaning? Save those sellable items for the Troop Annual Garage Sale on Saturday, March 29th, 8am to 3pm, Mount Pisgah Church. Hold onto your unwanted items for the troop as you clean out a closet or clear out a space and tell your neighbors to save theirs too. The troop benefits greatly from these sales. Donations of Garage Sale items are gladly accepted Friday, March 28th from 6 pm to 9 pm in the parking lot by the Old Chapel (South Hall). Desired items are: Baby items, toys, clothes, small appliances, tools, hardware, sporting goods, bikes, household items, furniture, collectibles, working computers, books and other items. If you live within a few miles of Mount Pisgah and have a large donation you are unable to deliver, we may be help you out by picking up your donation. Please contact Wendy Kraemer firstname.lastname@example.com. Both scouts and adults should look for the sign- up sheet at the Monday's troop meeting to volunteer. Volunteers are greatly needed and much appreciated. See Adult Involvement section for details on Garage Sale volunteer openings. Friends of Scouting: Scouting families can look for a letter to arrive in the mail from Friends of Scouting (a council fundraising program). The money collected pays for crucial services that support our excellent scouting programs in the Atlanta Area Council. See Flyers section for the FOS link for more information. Please consider answering the plea with your generous support. Thank you very much for whatever you choose to contribute. Green Bar National Youth Leadership Training For those scouts who are 13 and First Class by the end of May, registration is now on-line for you to begin the sign-up process. This is week-long course takes place at Bert Adams Scout Reservation (BASR) and is offered three different times: May 25th – 31st; June 1st – 7th; and June 9th – 14th. Go to the Atlanta Area Council web site www.atlantabsa.org/ (click on Program/Services... Training … Greenbar NYLT) or use the Troop 629 web site (Training … Greenbar NYLT) Advance A Rama Merit Badge Clinic Mark your calendars for March 1st, 2008 (Sat.) for the Cherokee District Spring 2008 Advance A Rama Merit Badge Clinic to be held at Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources @ Univ. of GA, Athens. They plan to offer 20 different classes to 300 Boy Scouts as well as Adult Leader Training on several topics. The last date to register is Feb. 20th. Look for sign up at troop meetings this month with Mrs. Narayanan. A Scout's Responsibility A scout's advancement record is only as accurate as the information he has provided to the record- keeper. It is the individual scout's responsibility when working with his youth leaders and assigned adults on his advancement to make sure all updates are given to our Advancement Chairperson, Mrs. Narayanan. Scouts – Available openings for Den Chief Training We have Cub Scout Dens looking for Den Chiefs. If you are trained and need the leadership position for rank advancement, see Scoutmaster Gillis and Nat Padget. He still has slots available and waiting for you. Remember … Mr. Gillis must approve you for a spot after you have received training. Life to Eagle Candidates Is your project stalled? Do you need fresh ideas or perspective? Does your project plan effectively address the expectations of the Chattahoochee District? Contact Mr. Gillis. Judi Dammann is organizing the troops past Eagle project packages to create a useful binder for future reference material for our Life to Eagle candidates. Court of Honor – May 5th, 2008 All scouts and their families are invited, encouraged (and expected) to attend this special ceremony to recognize scouts' accomplishments over the past few months. Court of Honor is a great place to re-confirm the year's activities (more details on Summer Camp 2008 will be covered) and how they all fit together for each scout. It is also a convenient time to ask about and sign up for open volunteer troop positions. It is also an opportunity for moms to get out their Mother's Ribbon and proudly wear them whether their scout gets to pin on a rank advancement or not. C.O.H. is held in lieu of a regular troop meeting, same time, same place. Hope to see all scouts and their families in attendance. Order of the Arrow meeting on February 14th Every month on the second Thursday there is a district O.A. gathering open to O.A. members. See your O.A. Representative for details: http://www.cdbsa.org/Pages/OA.htm Scoutmaster's Notes on High Adventures for 2008 For those scouts 14 and older adventures include Bahamas tall ship sailing in April and Rocky Mountain backpacking in Philmont, NM in June and if interest is given, a backwoods Canadian canoe trip in July with Northern Tier. If you haven't made your interest known and signed up for your High Adventure – what are you waiting for? See the Scoutmaster at the weekly meeting or check out the Sea Base 2008 flyer http://tinyurl.com/2jbzh3 or Northern Tier flyer http://tinyurl.com/2zm7fm. Trip Paperwork – It is important Prior to each trip we ask for a permission slip for a scout's participation to ensure we have the parents' concurrence and have the latest info on that scout. This permission slip is important for each activity and should be carefully completed. Include details if you can help with the driving to and from any activity. Please fill them out completely and have them in by their deadlines so we can gather the proper resources to carry out each and every activity. Please make your intentions known early so we can properly make reservations for everyone and have the food and travel arrangements ironed out. Adults wishing to participate are always welcome and appreciated. However, we do require each to be registered, complete the minimum training and have an updated physical. Details and troop website links can be found in the ADULT INVOLVEMENT section in this newsletter. Troop meetings start at 7:15 PM and end by 8:45 PM each Monday. Full uniform is expected unless otherwise noted. Time spent on Merit badge work is limited to the designated "game time" only at each meeting. If it is a patrol competition night, there is no merit badge time at those meetings. Scouts are expected to be active members of their patrols and cannot be constantly away working on their own advancement. Scouting is not just about the individual scout – Scouting is Outing, using the patrol method and working with the group. Please dress appropriately for the weather as some activities are outside at night. (Be Prepared) "YOU'VE GOT TO READ THE BOOK" Scouts in our troop earn merit badges only after they have read the entire merit badge book and have met with a designated approved adult who will verify the completeness of all the requirements. Clinics and camp-earned badges are to be verified with this process as well to ensure quality control over the process being used to help a scout actually learn the expected materials. When a scout is ready to get checked out by a counselor, he needs to ask Mr. Gillis to direct him to an approved counselor for that particular merit badge. Troop meetings are not the normal place to accomplish merit badge verifications, but rather with adult counselors at separate settings. Advancements to achieve Scout through First Class are conducted during troop meetings and that is where new scouts need to be concentrating their time. Merit Badge Help Nights are on the second Tuesday of each month from 6-7pm. The next MB Help Night is scheduled February 12th, 2008. Council-Sponsored Events Check our website for more opportunities for activities and training through the Council. Individuals from our troop are welcome to participate in any of these special events. You will see some on our troop calendar, i.e. Gladiator Scout Day, Kennesaw State University Basketball, Scout Night at the Circus, CPR Saturday, Philmont 2008 slot and Summer Camp 2008 staff openings to name a few. http://www.atlantabsa.org/. Some are listed below: AAC has Philmont 2008 slots available – must act fast though Troops are not allowed to apply for a Philmont trip for two consecutive years, so Troop 629 will not be organizing a Philmont 2008 crew because we sent a crew this past summer. The Atlanta Area Council Philmont 2008 expedition is accepting applications for Provisional Crew 1. This crew will be filled with scouts from council troops who have no crews going to Philmont and who otherwise would not have an opportunity to experience Philmont. A few openings for scouts are available. Philmont 2008 is June 17 - June 29, 2008. Estimated cost is $1100, pending final transportation costs. Questions may be directed to Mr. John Pelick, 404-630-5595. SCOUT NIGHT WITH THE GWINNETT GLADIATORS (Council Activity) Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 7:35 PM. Tickets are $14 which includes parking. SCOUT DAY WITH KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL (Council Activity) Saturday, February 16th at 6:30 PM. All seats include a hotdog, soda, and a special Scout patch for only $12. Reserve your tickets by February 14th. SCOUT NIGHT AT THE CIRCUS (Council Activity) Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 7:00 PM – Tickets are $18; Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 7:30 PM – Tickets are $13; Friday, February 22, 2008 at 7:30 PM – Tickets are $18. Regularly prices are $28 & $22 a seat. Price Includes Patch! Scout CPR SATURDAY - March 8, 2008 (Council Activity) "Be Prepared" is more than just the Boy Scout Motto. Atlanta Area Council Boy and Girl Scouts in coordination with the American Red Cross have already begun sign-up if you would like to be one of the 750 participants in Scout CPR Saturday, March 8, 2008 or one of the 100 volunteers needed to run it… sign-up at www.goodturn.net. Training for Atlanta Area Council Scouts and Adult leadership will be Thursday, February 7th, 6pm – 10pm and will include First Aid skills that can save a life and at the same time support the program by serving as volunteers running the event. We need to train six Audio/Visual technician volunteers to run the A/V systems and have them familiar with our system. Please have them contact me firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Cost to take the course is $25.00 for Adult CPR/AED skills or $35.00 for training for both Adult and Child skills which (each course includes manuals, skill cards and supplies). 2008 Summer Camp Staff (Council Activity) Applications for youth and adult positions at both Robert W. Woodruff and Bert Adams Scout Reservations are being accepted. The application form is available at the Program Service Center and on the two camp websites. http://tinyurl.com/35zpuq **********A SCOUT IS THRIFTY********** Lending Closet A lending (and donating) closet of items from gear to uniforms is available to Troop 629 scouts. Our closet holds recycled items that any scout can seek to use or have just for the asking. Those who have items to pass along are also encouraged to do so for the next thrifty scout. Check frequently as scouts are always outgrowing their clothes or going to college after earning Eagle. Grubby Details During some troop outings, patrol food is purchased by scouts working on advancement requirements (Grubmasters). A scout buying food will get a menu to use with a budget to follow. It's important to follow the list of items/quantities specified as the menu has been planned for patrol guest and other program considerations. Families are asked to purchase designated food from the list and then they are reimbursed by the Troop Treasurer. Families can ask for an advance and handle reconciliation after the trip. Non-perishable (leftover) food from camping trips that can be re-used needs to be turned in with the patrol gear at the end of each trip and is stored by the troop in special patrol containers. This will help cut back on costs for future trips and eliminate waste now on-going. Why Pay Full Price When You Can Get It At A Discount? We have some outdoor equipment stores in the area that want your scout's business and will offer a discount on some or all of their products just because he is a scout. Here are a few that our adult leaders have found (email Sue email@example.com with your own discoveries of stores that support scouts by giving a scout discount). Most stores want to see your scout membership card and it is always a good idea to verify with an employee prior to purchase that the discount is still offered: ~REI: 10% off at Customer Service; 3 local locations; 770-901-9200, 404-633-6508, 770-831-0670 ~Dick's: 10%-off-coupons on specific items (posted on troop bulletin board); Northpoint Pkwy; 770- 521-1195 ~Brigade Quartermaster, Marietta: 10% off by showing your BSA card; 770-428-6870 **********ADULT INVOLVEMENT ********** Behind the scenes of any great Troop are many helpful adults doing their part to keep the activities and events running smoothly. If you could find some time to help out, please see our Committee Chair, Wendy Kraemer, to learn about the available open positions. ~~3 Coordinators needed immediately to help with Garage Sale Baby steps may be the best way to get involved in this fundraiser. Three areas of the Garage Sale need adults to coordinate the volunteers: 1) Someone in charge of sorting and organizing donations Friday night between 6pm – 9pm; 2) someone in charge of concessions Saturday; 3) someone in charge of picking up larger donations (within a few miles from Mount Pisgah) that donors are unable to deliver themselves. ~~Troop Garage Sale Organizer This annual fundraiser has been very successful each year, bringing in anywhere from $600 to $1,000 annually. This also generates money for High Adventure accounts for those scouts who wish to participate. Usually work begins in February (flyers and announcements) with the garage sale taking place in March or April. ASAP please email Wendy Kraemer at firstname.lastname@example.com to tell her that you are perfect for this job, or find her or Fran Gillis at the next troop meeting. ~~Christmas Tree Pickup Elf – please apply! Chris and Leslie Cotney have been long-time volunteers with our troop and have organized the Christmas Tree Fundraiser during several past winter holidays. Thanks to them the troop has just completed another successful year of tree pickup and they are willing to share their secrets. Please contact Wendy Kramer firstname.lastname@example.com to let her know you would like to step into these well-documented pointed shoes. ONE SIZE FITS ALL! ~~Eagle Court of Honor Ceremony Coordinator Needed Lu Ann DiPietro has been organizing the position of coordinating all of the details for celebration ceremonies for new Eagle Scouts for the last three years. Once a scout has achieved the rank of Eagle, she requests letters of congratulations from government officials and companies around the United States. She also coordinates the Eagle Court of Honor ceremony with the families and attends the Court of Honor to serve refreshments. We really need a couple of parents to do what Lu Ann has been doing for the troop. Please let Wendy Kraemer email@example.com know that you would like to help the troop by taking over this position. ~~Troop Secretary Needed We need a volunteer to take notes during Adult Leader Committee Meetings, which usually fall on the first Sunday of the month at 6pm at Mount Pisgah UMC in the dining room. After meeting notes have been recorded, they are then edited by a few committee members via email, and then final notes are emailed to all committee members. ~~Parents Needed for Troop Boards of Review A troop Board of Review (BOR) provides a great opportunity for parents to better understand rank advancement and to get to know the Scouts. Each Board consists of three troop parent volunteers. Boards of Review are typically held each month for those Scouts who have completed all requirements and Scoutmaster Conference for rank advancement. If you are interested in participating as a Troop BOR member please email Kathleen Narayanan or call her at 770-740-8496 so she can add your information to her list to draw from when we have an upcoming BOR. No experience required. (Unfortunately, unit leaders and assistant unit leaders may not serve as a BOR member.) ~~ Troop Merit Badge Counselors Needed Being a Merit Badge Counselor is an easy and fun way to be involved in the Troop. All Merit Badge Counselors must complete a Merit Badge Counselor application and Adult Leader Registration form (both can be found on our Troop website Forms page). To learn more about your role as a Merit Badge Counselor visit the merit badge website. Please give completed forms to Kathleen Narayanan. We are seeking counselors for all BSA merit badges; however, we currently have no one registered for the following merit badges: Archaeology Dentistry Plant Science Skating Whitewater Bugling Medicine Railroading Textile Climbing Model Design Reptile/Amphibian Waterskiing NESA Eagle Scout Search is Underway! National Eagle Scout Association has launched a national Eagle Scout search program. NESA has partnered with Harris Connect Inc., the nation's membership publication experts, to help locate all Eagle Scouts and to produce Roll Call: The National Eagle Scout Registry--a publication that will capture the tradition, history, and honor of our nation's Eagle Scouts and will be available only to bona fide Eagles. If you know an Eagle Scout, please alert him about this important project and pass on this link. http://www.nesa.org/misc/essearch.html. Adult Training (Reasons to Be Prepared) All adults wanting to participate in any of our activities have a number of pre-training requirements we like to and need to have accomplished depending on the activity. It's best to get your qualifications completed early so when that trip comes up that you want to go on, you aren't scrambling to get in. Many of the courses are held on limited basis. Check our website under Training for the minimum needs and look for notices of when the classes are coming up.

Imperial Stout By Gran Habano Reviews
Showing 11 through 12 of 12 reviews
Imperial Test Flight
"Spend money elswhere"
Imperial Test Flight
Really only one or two smokeable sticks in the whole bunch. I really tried to give them a chance, but inconsistant contruction, nasty aftertaste, and poor burning were hard to overcome. Some of them would not stay lit, one in particular hit a dead spot in the stick that once I sut it off, found that it was hard as a rock in the center. Don't buy these, I have a feeling these are really just a re-wrapped Famous brand that usually costs less than .70 a stick.
Jeff in Sierra Vista, AZ September 23, 2010
"Very nice surprise"
New cigar smoker and learning fast. This cigar was an amazing surprise to me and has become my favorite. Very smooth, lights easily, great taste, burns excellant, just can't say enough.
Jack D in Centre, Al September 18, 2010
