16 January 2014
London: Safe at School, a parent advocacy group, has expressed serious concern about the so-called "expert" group which the Department for Education has convened to write guidelines for schools on how to teach pupils about pornography.
Antonia Tully, national co-ordinator of Safe at School said: "We are very concerned about the organisations in this 'expert' group. The SEF has already produced suggestions and lesson ideas for teachers on how to teach children about pornography. These lessons are not about warning children and teenagers about the dangers of pornography. The SEF lessons are promoting pornography; encouraging children and teenagers to explore and embrace it."
Safe at School is presenting a petition of over 22,000 signatures to the Department for Education calling on the Secretary of State for Education to prohibit all promotion of pornography in schools.
Mrs Tully said: "We need to be clear that the Department for Education is not changing the statutory guidelines for teaching sex education, which schools are obliged to follow. The expert group is only writing advice for schools. There is a danger that schools will be confused and think that they have to follow this advice."
Safe at School, along with 20 pro-family groups and individuals, including nine MPs, sent Michael Gove MP an open letter calling on him to recognise that parents are the primary educators of their children on sexual matters - see https://www.spuc.org.uk/news/releases/2014/january08 The letter stated any group writing sex education guidelines for schools must include organisations which recognise the primacy of parents.
Mrs Tully said: "Most parents would be horrified to see the approach that the SEF is taking. The SEF message is: 'As long as you can tell the difference between reality and pornography, there's no problem'. Rather, parents are the right people to teach their own children about sexual matters."
Antonia Tully, national co-ordinator of Safe at School, can be contacted on landline 020 8407 3463 or mobile 07926 007175.

Palo Duro Canyon has many opportunities for you to get involved. A popular volunteer opportunity is the PARK HOST program.
Park Hosts are volunteers who supplement the park staff in the operation of the park. Hosts greet campers, greet and provide information to park visitors, assist in the maintenance and repair of the park, assist in interpreting the park to the park visitors, and help serve as the "eyes and ears" of the staff as they perform their duties.
Park Hosts will serve 24 hours per week. In exchange, Park Hosts are provided a campsite with electricity and water at no charge. Some sites have sewer hookups as well. Hosts will be provided an information booklet and will be instructed in the performance of their duties. Park Hosts are provided identification as volunteer workers.
Park Hosts are asked to serve a minimum of one month. Additional length of service is dependant upon the hosts schedule, the availability of the position, and the availability of the sites.
At the time of the agreement, the Park Hosts will be asked to make a firm commitment to the park, as it is very difficult to arrange for substitutes on short notice.

Federal File
A cash-flow problem
For most high-profile federal education programs, Congress gives the secretary of education some money to support experimental national programs.
But a technical mix-up will prevent Secretary Richard W. Riley from spending any money on such national and local projects under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Program until next year.
"It's the only serious glitch that we know about," Undersecretary of Education Marshall S. Smith said last week.
In HR 3755, the omnibus appropriations bill that outlines federal education spending for fiscal 1997, Congress chose not to appropriate any money for Secretary Riley's pet projects. Instead, lawmakers said that the secretary could use $25 million of the $556 million appropriation for his special drug- and violence-prevention projects.
But Congress failed to give him authority to spend that money.
Aides on the House and Senate appropriations committees said Congress will likely restore the authority in a technical-corrections bill early next year.
Because the omnibus bill was crafted during an intense three-day period at the end of September, just before the new fiscal year began Oct. 1, some mistakes were made.
But even once Mr. Riley has the authority to spend the national program money, he'll face another hurdle.
Congress will still require the secretary to submit a request to shift the money from state grants to targeted programs.
"The secretary will have to submit a reprogramming request, and we will probably approve it because that's what the agreement is," a House appropriations aide said. "But I'd like to see what he asks for, given all of the rhetoric" surrounding the drug issue.
For the past several weeks, GOP presidential candidate Bob Dole has blamed the Clinton administration for the recent rise in teenage drug use.
The fund has been used to develop manuals on school uniforms and truancy, which President Clinton has touted during the campaign, model programs for students who have been expelled for carrying weapons, and coordinate efforts with the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services.

321 Bridge 2017 Update: Done
It happened! The day I'd been waiting for came, I drove across the new 321 bridge!
Actually it went more like this: I'm driving home and see they've rerouted the traffic with a whole bunch of barricades and cones and then it hit me! I'm driving across the new bridge!! I rolled down the window and cheered. It was dark out. Nobody saw.
Today I brought my camera and a lens to share a visual update.
Meanwhile, they have wasted no time in moving right over to work on the old bridge that goes right over the dam and the lock.
This is the view of the old bridge from the upstream side.
For the pixel peepers out there, they'll probably see there are a few smudges on some of the photos. They are right. Its from raindrops on my lens. I did not bring a rain coat because "I was only going to be a minute" We're now getting some of the Hurricane Harvey weather here in Tennessee. So I ended up running/walking really fast all the way back to the car.
That's all for this time!

Realizing too, that we were a bit young and short-sighted about things 20 years ago. It was comforting to chat to people about how we might have done things differently back then, with the wisdom we have gained since.. Friendships might have been different had we been able to be more open about what we were feeling and if were were able to comprehend our own teenage shortcomings??
What I am really trying to say I suppose is...that with the added comfort of some champers and in some cases tequila..You go Nell...We all opened up a bit more..Probably just the booze talking..But I had fun.. I really did...And with a bedtime of 4.15am...and a MAJOR hangover today..Yikes..You could say:
I partied like it was 1992:
Oh my the hair in 1991.....
Fast forward 20 years:
Out on the town...First of 2 night club stops..WT??
And a few more from the night:
I think..Well last nigh I thought we scrubbed up pretty well for 20 years on..
This morning...oh boy..not so much...

Secondhand Smoke for Second Class Employees?
Everybody has the right to breathe smoke-free air, no matter where they work. Current Oklahoma law has created a group of second class employees. It has also created an uneven playing field for business owners who want to do the right thing, but have their hands tied. Caught in the middle are employees across the state – bartenders, hostesses, cocktail waitresses, musicians and others who have to choose between their health and a paycheck.
Secondhand smoke is not a nuisance – it is a real health hazard. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified secondhand smoke as a Group A carcinogen, a substance which is known to cause human cancer.
Secondhand smoke contains over 4,000 substances, more than 60 of which are known or suspected to cause cancer. Some of the deadly substances in secondhand smoke and the cancers they cause are:
Arsenic, benzo(a)pyrene, cadmium, chromium, nickel, and NNK = lung cancer
Nitrosamines = cancers of the lung, respiratory system, and other organs
Armoatic amines = bladder and breast cancers
Formaldehyde and nickel = nasal cancer
Benzene = leukemia
Vinyl chloride = liver and brain cancer
2-napthalymine and 4-aminobiphenyl = bladder cancer
Lead = liver cancer
Three of the above carcinogens — arsenic, benzene, and vinyl chloride — are regulated in the United States as hazardous air pollutants. Two of the bladder carcinogens — 2-napthalymine and 4-aminobiphenyl are banned for use in dye manufacturing.

Second thoughts on kitchen cabinets
So, my kitchen post from earlier this week got the wheels a turnin in my head again. I just couldn't let my idea rest (or put my ultimate plans on hold) until I got a better idea of how much such a project would cost (ie: I needed to comparison shop and see what other deals were out there). Although I'm not big for hiring services over craigslist, I decided to at least do a search and see what I could find. Sure enough, there was an ad for an entire kitchen redo for under $3000. Score! I don't need an entire kitchen redo, only a paltry little 10 cabinet doors, so surely it'll be just a fraction of that cost, right? Not so much. Although this second quote was more reasonable than my $1500 without delivery or installation quote, it's become very clear that to get this job done, and to get it done right is still going to cost between $1500- $2000 when all is said and done. I actually do now think that is a fair price and I completely understand the cost of quality workmanship- it's just that there is so so much more on my list I need to tackle first, so back down on the priority list is goes. And that reminds me- must start working on that list!

Hi all,
I am new here. I started getting a rash last November around my buttock and right thigh. Initially I thought it was nummular eczema, although I have never gotten it before. My dermatologist mentioned it may be psoriasis and he prescribed an ointment. That was 4 weeks ago. I went back to him today and he said it looks much better and he reduced the potency of the ointment. Then, since I work in Cancer Research, I mentioned Mycosis Fungoides!!! He then stated because it hasn't completely gone away, he wants to biopsy it. Nice huh? He was content to state it was psoriasis. Now I have to get a biopsy. I am a 30 year old white male. MF is predominately a rare cancer and is mostly seen in older African American men. There are only 1000 new cases worldwide each year. However, because it resemebles psoriasis and eczema, I am of course concerned. Does anyone have any insight???

Course: Privatization of War: The Role of Private Military Companies
in US Foreign Policy
Instructor: Dan Kenney
Duration: 5 weeks, online
Click here to register now!
This is a course will focus on the use of modern day mercenaries (private military contractors) by the US government. We will cover the history and dangers of utilizing a private military force, as well as the role private military companies play in US foreign policy. The class will also look at the recruitment practices of these companies and the impact they will have on the future of militarism. We will examine the role these mercenary companies play in protecting the interests of corporations around the world and how some have sought to regulate military contractors. It is imperative that we as a society organize and
discuss how to stop this growing threat. This course will be a forum to open/continue that discussion.
Skills/understanding that activists will have for organizing and opposing militarism after taking this course:
- Understanding of the range of services private military contractors provide to the US government
- Knowledge of the new avenue for US military presence through the utilization of contractors
- Understanding of the mechanisms being used to confront this issue

Hands up, who likes Vladimir Lenin? Anyone? Eh, I just hear crickets. While he is arguably one of the most influential men to have ever lived on planet Earth, his policies and ideas were fairly radical during his reign over Russia, almost single-handedly orchestrating massive changes to the country's economy that would both cement it as a world superpower, and simultaneously set it up for the eventual downfall of the Soviet Union. In some countries previously under the Soviet Union, Lenin isn't a very popular figure, and the Ukranian government is trying to rid itself of the many, many statues that dot its landscapes. It's somewhat poetic, then, to see one such statue changed into Darth Vader, one of the most recognisable villians in recent film history.
The statue was remodeled by artist Alexander Milov, who urged the city council of Odessa, Ukraine, to give him the opportunity to change the statue into something more easy on the eye. He transformed the statue into Vader's full garb, including the iconic cloak, and also installed a Wi-Fi hotspot inside Vader's helmet to provide free internet for visitors to the statue. The statue is now a part of Odessa's tourist attractions.
This change isn't happening in isolation either, as I discovered today. Milov's work is a nod to the Ukranian Internet Party running Darth Vader for Prime Minister. That's right, you read that correctly – Darth Vader (that's Darth Alekseyevich Vader to you), as well as Leia Organa Solo, Yoda, Darth Maul, Chewbacca, and others in the party are trying to push forward "an electronic government", where the focus is on education, free access to the internet, and empowerment of the Ukrainian people currently trying to stave off a Russian invasion. Sometimes, even in dark hours, a sense of humor is key to not losing your sanity.
While they certainly aren't looking to trade technology with the Viceroys, the party is certainly taking this as seriously as possible. Their 2014 campaigns didn't earn them seats in parliament, but it is expected that they'll make the cut this year. Darth Vader has already pledged to be in full attire every day that he is in parliament.

Ten Commandments
1. Do no harm to others. If you are capable of it, do no harm to any sentient creature.
2. Be kind to everyone you meet. Treat them as you would want them to treat you.
3. Do what you can to improve the lives of the less fortunate. They are our brothers and sisters.
4. Do what you can to promote peace in the world. War is rarely, if ever, the answer.
5. Do what you can to preserve and enhance this earth. It is the only home we have.
6. Keep learning throughout your life, and teach what you have learned to others.
7. If at all possible, do not lie. Lies breed conflict, between us and within us.
8. Do not become too attached to material things. They easily become our masters.
9. Make sure to love someone. Love is the meaning of life.
10. Sing and dance, draw pictures and tell stories, make music and laugh.

Two U.S. Congressmen have introduced legislation aimed at improving America's image abroad by promoting international tourism to the United States. The bill would establish a competitive $50 million grant to boost international business and leisure travel to America from five target countries. As VOA's Cindy Saine reports from Washington, the program will also seek to give foreign tourists a friendlier welcome at U.S. airports and other entry points.
At a news conference on Capitol Hill, Congressman Sam Farr, a Democrat representing California's scenic central coast, summed up how fewer foreign tourists are coming to America.
"International travelers aren't coming to America and figures show it," he said. "The U.S. has experienced a 17 percent decline in overseas visitors since September 11, 2001."
A Pew Global Attitudes Project survey from 2006 confirms that favorable opinions of the U.S. have fallen substantially in most of the 15 countries surveyed since the year 2000. The survey says the war in Iraq has had a negative impact on opinion of America not only in predominately Muslim countries, but also in Europe and Asia.
Another recent survey by the Discover America Partnership group found that international travelers ranked the United States as having the world's worst entry process. The study also revealed a general perception abroad that the U.S. is not welcoming to foreign visitors.
Congressman Farr says he believes Americans are among the friendliest, most helpful and most accepting people in the world. But he thinks the current "fortress America" image comes from a combination of factors.
Kids have access to Ipods and media, they've just seen America as a very violent country, they're afraid to come here," he said. "Frequent travelers find that when they come now they get hassled and it's uncomfortable for them, they are distinguished people."
The co-sponsor of the tourism bill, Representative Jon Porter, says the U.S. should be secure and welcoming at the same time.
"The problem is that right now there is this perception that we're not as friendly as we really are," he said. "And because of our emphasis on security, homeland security, I think that the pendulum has swung too far, and that is how we are treating our visitors."
Porter, a Republican from the state of Nevada, represents another popular tourist destination, Las Vegas. His state has used hospitality industry workers to train transportation security employees to be friendlier to arriving tourists and business travelers.
Under the tourism bill, local, state and private tourism initiatives would be able to compete for grants to inform and attract tourists.
The five-year, $50 million tourism bill would initially focus only on five countries that currently have the most nationals traveling to the U.S.: Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Japan and Germany.
The congressmen agree that the best antidote to a tarnished image is for foreign tourists to come to the U.S. and experience its landscape, its people, its music and its food for themselves.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Sex With a Large Penis' started by Imported, Oct 31, 2003.
chipster: Nope.....not in my case.
There's no biological correlation: Cum's produced in the prostate.
prepstudinsc: There are little guys who shoot huge loads, big guys who shoot only drops. There are big guys who have floods, and little guys who just have a dribble. Ball size doesn't have anything to do with it, either, since something like 95% of the ejaculate is produced inside the body. The testes only produc sperm, which is a very small part of the actual ejaculate.
jerkin4-10: *shocked* well jonb...i think thats absolutely the shortest, most to the point answer youve ever given...are you ok there buddy?...*G* jk...allesandra...nope no correllation...im a small fry in this group...7x6 and i have a simmons 20x scope on me...i can shoot the ears off a gnat at 100 paces...
gigantikok: Yea, no correlation. Not the biggest in the group, but pretty large, and I shoot an average load at best.
GuyFromLA: Actually this is partially true, only 30% of the spermical fluid is produced in the prostate, the other 70% is produced in the spermical vesicle.
[quote author=allesandra link=board=sex;num=1067660087;start=0#0 date=10/31/03 at 20:05:47]do guys with great big cocks cum more?[/quote]
I wonder what the condom manufacturers think about this? Do they match a large size condom with more room in the teat? Perhaps Magnum XL users or the customers of the new made-to-fit suppliers can report back on this.
For the record, back in the days when I would have been very grateful for Magnum XL's had they existed then, I would also have needed the other extra provision. Funnily enough, although I had known from way back in my boyhood that I was exceptionally well endowed, it took me a long time (and some research in sex manuals etc) to realise that most other guys did not come like me either from the point of view of force or volume (or frequency for that matter).
Prepstud is right of course, there is no direct link, even with balls size. Though I have sometimes thought that there must be an indirect link in my case between the volume of my testes and the (often inconvenient)strength of my sex drive. Or is it just coincidence?
Beagle8: My ejaculate is pretty average, even though I'm much bigger than average. I don't think there is a correlation between volume and size.
ORCABOMBER: [quote author=allesandra link=board=sex;num=1067660087;start=0#0 date=10/31/03 at 20:05:47]do guys with great big cocks cum more?[/quote]
Most amount of come I've ever seen was from some tiny guy, with big balls. Now that's a better relationship I'd think.
duzyamuthano: there are a number of factors here, none of which is related to the actual size of the cock concerned:
1. the quantity of seminal fluid (not sperm) produced;
2. the strength of the muscles behind the dick;
3. the shape of the opening (the cum slit) at the end of the penis.
1 will govern how big the load is, and i'm guessing (only guessing) that it could be influenced by things like diet, health (e.g. exercise), lifestyle (e.g. smoking). but some guys will just produce more goo than others. 2 and 3 govern how big the shoot is. i'm working on the principle that more exercise for those muscles in 2 is a good thing and i've noticed that guys with a more open cum slit shoot further and more freely than men with a more restricted opening, which tends to make the cum ooze, dribble, or just flow.
so, as others have said, no correlation ... but a big dick shooting a big load a long way is a real treat at the end of session in my book ;D
Well , like gigantikok had mentioned before, I'm not the absolute biggest, but I am up there in the above average category, and have yet to see a load that was like my leaky kitchen faucet.
To the point of condoms, I am grateful for Magnum XL and their great fit. However, I am leary over the durability of the resevoir tip, because somedays I come so hard and fast, it fills it up like a balloon, and makes me wonder if it's going to pop.
ORCABOMBER: I've never used magnums, but the tip is almost useless for me as well. But heck, WTF is average anymore! It sure as hwll isn't here! ;D
rainfletcher: And it also varies so much even for each man. If I'm home for awhile, my cum seems to dry up substantially, although I'm told it's sweeter and easier to swallow.
However, if I'm gone for awhile, we're going to need to change the sheets, and probably the pillow cases and probably get the rug shampooed, too.
I just got back a few days ago, and came for the first time in 4 or 5 days. I think I came for an hour (OK, well, it FELT like an hour). There was so much giz that I could feel it flowing out of her (and around my cock) even while I was still cumming. One of the craziest sensations ever.
ish789: nope... i think someone prolly alrdy went in depth with this just saying nope... lol
axolotl27: With me, it's been about the same amount of ejaculate all my life. But at my present age of 69, I have to wait a day or two in between sessions with the girl who visits me. My urologist sent me to some of his cohorts for a lot of tests. They seem to consider me a curiosity, not just for my size [I've seen lots of them over the years for that], but because my testosterone level is still so high for someone my age,--and my hair is all there and hasn't started to turn yet. I'd better shut up before I jinx myself.
ORCABOMBER: [quote author=axolotl27 link=board=sex;num=1067660087;start=0#15 date=11/11/03 at 20:47:32]I'd better shut up before I jinx myself.[/quote]
You're very luck Axol.
HungRebel: [quote author=Max link=board=sex;num=1067660087;start=0#7 date=11/03/03 at 01:39:36]
I wonder what the condom manufacturers think about this? Do they match a large size condom with more room in the teat? Perhaps Magnum XL users or the customers of the new made-to-fit suppliers can report back on this.
I use Magnum XL's and produce quite a bit of cum (10-15 good sized spurts per orgasm), and I've never had a problem keeping it all in a condom. Yes, it's uncomforatble with that much semen, but some of the girls that my girlfriend and I get in bed don't like it on their body, and I sure don't need a little HungRebel running around right now
//edit: here's a picture of a Magnum XL. You can see the extra room.

Not sure about a larger volume of cum, I produce a lot of pre cum, can ooze most of the day. Normally manage to fill my girlfriend to the top and beyond.
shortchanged: ....and the MAJORITY of the cum is left in those huge shafts of yours!
......me, i once pulled out of the puspus...... and almost blinded the poor girl! :-/
[quote author=GuyFromLA link=board=sex;num=1067660087;start=0#6 date=11/02/03 at 17:23:49]
Actually this is partially true, only 30% of the spermical fluid is produced in the prostate, the other 70% is produced in the spermical vesicle.

Hello! (´・ω・`)
Last Saturday I met my friends to discuss our trip to London (only 5 more weeks *_*) and Nyanko and I decided to wear our Little Bear's Café dresses! กʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ ก We took a few pictures in front of THE church (the church where all Lolitas take their pictures because it's the only good background nearby xD).
This was just a short post, thank you for reading!

Federal and state laws generally require an employer to pay a non-exempt employee wages for all the time which he or she works. State laws may create standards which are significantly different from federal requirements for employers regarding payment of wages.
Under federal law, an employer is required to pay an employee for all hours worked. "Hours worked" under federal law means the time during which an employee is required to be on duty or to be on the employer's premises or at a prescribed workplace and all time during which an employee is suffered or permitted to work whether or not required to do. It is not limited to hours spent in active productive, labor.
In California, "hours worked" means the time during which an employee is required to be on duty or to be on the employer's premises or at a prescribed workplace and all time during which the employer is aware or should be aware the employee is working whether or not the employer requires the employer to do so. Working time in California is not limited to hours spent in active productive labor. It generally includes time that the employee is working but is not subject to the employer's control, including unauthorized overtime, which the employer has not requested or required as long as the employer should have known the employee was working. This duty requires an employer to pay an employee for off-the-clock work, which is time worked before or after a scheduled shift, if the employer knew or should have known that the employee was working those hours. This may also include time which an employee spends in active labor or under the control of the employer but the employer improperly shaves that time from an employee's hours worked by automatic deduction of meal periods or by "rounding" practices.
Employers may use a payroll practice which only pays employees for the time that they are scheduled to work even though the employee may be under the control of the employer prior to their scheduled shift or after their scheduled shift ends. This practice results in wages which the employer fails to pay the employee for this off-the-clock work.
A complex set of federal and state statutes govern payment of wages. Federal law sets the minimum standards for an employer, but state laws may create higher standards. Numerous exceptions exist which alter an employer's duties for payment of wages. To navigate the complex statutes regarding payment of wages, an employee needs to speak to an experienced attorney who is familiar with the law in this area. The attorneys of Lavi & Ebrahimian, LLP, are experienced in investigating, negotiating and litigating wage and hour lawsuits on a class action basis and on an individual basis.
If you believe that your employer has failed to follow the law in payment of your wages, contact Lavi & Ebrahimian, LLP, today for a free consultation. Our experienced employment attorneys will evaluate your options under the law and can help you obtain the most complete relief possible.

How Much Fat Calories Do You Burn a Day?
Losing fat is a never-ending battle, even if you're committed to good eating habits and a high-octane exercise routine. Your body is committed to converting fat into muscle, but burning fat boils down to a science when trying to lose weight. Health and fitness experts contend that the best way to burn fat calories is through sufficient exercise. A high level cardiovascular exercise program helps maximize the amount of fat calories you'll be able to burn each day.
Types of Fat
The human body stores different types of fat. Body fat, or adipose tissue, contains protein, connective tissue and water. Nutritional fat, also referred to as dietary fat, is pure and doesn't contain excess substance. Body fat contains just 7.7 calories per gram, in comparison to nutritional fat, which holds 9 calories per gram. The difference in weight is generated from the effect of water in body fat, which has no calorie content. A pound of fat is comprised of 3,500 calories. This means you can lose 1 pound of fat per week if you burn 500 calories daily in excess of what you eat.
Calorie Intake
For sustained weight loss over time, doctors recommend eating foods that are low in calorie content, but rich in fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins, according to WebMD. Males and females are subject to various levels of calorie intake, depending on activity level and age. For example, a physically active adult male between the ages of 31 and 50 should consume 2,400 to 2,600 calories per day to maintain his current weight. In contrast, an adult female that lives a similar lifestyle should ingest just 2,000 calories each day.
Diet & Exercise
Light physical activity typically isn't strenuous enough to burn sufficient calories, particularly the fat calories you need to burn for substantial weight loss. Exercise is an effective complement to dieting when trying to lose weight. Calorie intake is essential for all bodily functions; the body stops functioning at a high level if calorie intake is depreciated on a massive level. The average sedentary adult burns about 2,000 calories per day, depending on age, gender, height and weight. In contrast, a physically active adult sheds up to 3,000 calories each day.
Physiological Factors
Physiological factors make loss weight difficult to quickly achieve. The human body can store enormous amounts of fat at an incredible rate. Eating small, balanced meals throughout the day counteracts the process of the body storing excess fat. Fat cells utilize foods like broccoli and oatmeal in the same fashion as ice cream and peanut butter. Overeating is never beneficial, however, regardless of the type of food you've ingested. Too much vegetable intake forces your body to store extra fat just like overindulging in ice cream does. Starvation-oriented diets are also never the answer to weight loss success.

Herbert Herman Fiedler Photograph Collection
|1 of 2
Finding Aid for the Herbert Herman Fiedler Photograph Collection, 1909-1920
Profile Description
|2012 August 31. Encoded in Exchanger XML Editor by Tyrrell Historical Library staff.
Descriptive Summary
|Tyrrell Historical Library, Beaumont Public Libraries, 695 Pearl St, Beaumont, TX 77701
|Fiedler, Herbert Herman, 1886-1982
|Herbert Herman Fiedler Photograph Collection
|2 boxes; approximately 0.75 cubic feet
|Creator Abstract:
|Herbert Herman Fiedler was the personal chauffeur of Mrs. Frances Ann Lutcher of Orange, Texas. The Lutcher family owned vast tracts of timber in and around the Orange area and ran the Lutcher Moore Lumber Company. As prominent citizens of Orange, the Lutcher family owned two Pierce-Arrow touring automobiles and traveled extensively on sight-seeing trips throughout the United States, Canada, and western Europe. Many of these early road trips were documented in photographs by Mr. Fiedler.
|Content Abstract:
|The photographic images depict the lack of good roads during the early 1900s and the difficult terrain and conditions that automobile drivers faced in cross-country excursions. One photograph of particular importance is Mr. Fiedler as the honorary chauffeur driving President William Howard Taft in a Houston, Texas, parade on the date of October 24, 1909.
|Materials are in English.
Organization of CollectionThis collection is organized into 25 folders in two flat boxes, with photographs numbered consecutively.
Scope and Content Note
This collection contains the photographs taken by Herbert Herman Fiedler during his automobile travels across several states, from Orange, Texas, to Denver, Colorado, to New York, New York, and then back to Texas again. As he drove Mrs. Francis Ann Lutcher of Orange, Texas, and her companions, he made contact with city and town newspapers who reported of the road travel hardships and advertised the reliability of the Pierce-Arrow automobile. His photography includes diverse scenery and documents the difficult travel of the automobile in the early 1900s. The accompanying newspaper articles report Mr. Fiedler's route progress and road conditions encountered.
Biographical Note
Herbert Herman Fiedler was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, October 26, 1886, son of Herman and Pauline Fiedler, German immigrants of twelve years at the time of his birth. At the age of thirteen he had the occupation of messenger while living with his family in New York. His father was a night watchman at one of the New York factories. By the 1910 New York census, Herbert H., age 23, had gained employment as a chauffeur and his younger brother was a delivery boy for a drug store. By 1920, a Herbert Fiedler, born in New Jersey, with German immigrant parents, had made his way to Orange, Orange County, Texas. At this time, he gave his occupation as machinist or mechanic at a private home. He had met and married Ruth, a Texas born woman, in about 1915.
In 1909, Fiedler was chosen to drive President William Howard Taft during his visit to Houston, Texas. Then, shortly after the New York census of 1910, Herbert Herman Fiedler was hired by Frances Ann Lutcher to drive her and her friends from Orange to Austin, Texas, to visit her grandson Lutcher Stark, graduating from the University of Texas. After Henry Lutcher's death in 1912, Herbert drove Mrs. Lutcher on several trips including the cross country trip in the United States which he photographed.

The trace element iodine is naturally present in some foods such as potatoes. Your body needs it to produce certain thyroid hormones and for other functions. In fact, it's critical to health in all life stages. While you can gain nutrients from supplements, the dietary guidelines in the United States call for meeting most of your need for iodine and other nutrients through foods such as potatoes.
Soil in different locations contains varying amounts of iodine. This, in turn, affects the iodine content of crops such as potatoes. That means nutritional information on iodine content in potatoes is approximate. In general in the United States, 100 g potatoes provide 13 percent of your daily iodine requirement. The recommended daily intake of iodine is 150 mgc. The tolerable upper intake level is 1,100 mcg.
Fast Facts
Iodine is absorbed by potato plant leaves during tuber growth. When you consume a food like potatoes, iodine is rapidly absorbed in your body in a form called iodide. Other food sources of iodine include spinach, almonds, saltwater fish, seaweed, dairy products and eggs. A top source for this trace mineral is iodized salt, which many people add to baked potatoes. About 70 percent of households worldwide consume iodized salt.
Iodine-Added Potatoes
Some food manufacturers sell potatoes that feature extra iodine. An Italian food manufacturer, for example, launched an enhanced-iodine potato in 2007. The potatoes come in 3.3 lb. bags. They are purported to supply 30 percent of your iodine need for a 200 g serving, or 15 percent per 100 g serving. A medium potato is about 173 g.
Iodine deficiency can cause developmental and functional abnormalities such as mental retardation. In fact, iodine deficiency is one of the most important causes of preventable brain damage and retardation. Unfortunately, billions of people in 118 countries are at risk for iodine deficiency, according to "Food Additives," by Alfred Larry Branen. In the United States, the average iodine intake ranges from 138 mcg to 353 mcg a day.

There is no doubt that the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 are in high demand with both devices listed as "Sold Out" on the Google Play Store again. Customers who were looking to order one of the devices will have to wait until Google gets their next batch of stock in. Albeit customers waiting for the Nexus 4 could potentially be waiting for an extended period of time, as Google UK & Ireland boss Dan Cobley explains LG's supply as "scarce and erratic." In addition to the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 listed as "Sold Out," the 16GB model of the Nexus 7 has also been sold out. Albeit it should be in stock shortly if Google plans on selling 1 million units this month.
The high demand is definitely a good sign for Google, but the Nexus 4 shortages have been more than frustrating for customers and potential buyers alike. Hopefully Google will be able to prepare for such a high demand like this next time. I have my doubts that we'll be seeing another LG-manufactured Nexus device after this fiasco though.
Regardless, we'll make sure to let everyone know when Google receives their next batch of stock! In the mean time, if you're really desperate to get a Nexus 4 for your loved one(s) for Christmas, there are a plethora on e-Bay brand new, albeit at inflated prices.

Commodore US*8 Desktop Calculator
I found this calculator at a Goodwill Industries thrift store for $2.00. It works great.
This machine, based on the date code on the single LSI IC inside, is from early 1973. It is a desk-top style calculator, AC-powered. It uses a single Texas Instruments IC (TMS0103NC, one of TI's first 'all on a chip' calculator IC's) for the calculating brains, with an assortment of plastic-case transistors and discrete components for power supply and display driving functions.
The display is a Burroughs Panaplex-style display, with standard seven segment digit arrangement. The display panel has 9 digits, but the left-most digit is used only for sign (-) and error/overflow indication.
The machine is very conventional in operation, with adding-machine style +=, -= keys for accumulating sums and differences, and multiply/divide keys, with the += key used for calculating the products or quotients. A slide switch selects several fixed decimal point, or full floating decimal modes.
Commodore was a major player in the early electronic calculator market, being one of the first to 'mass market' calculators for use in homes instead of business.

Man has always been inspired by the wonders of nature. He has always been curious to know the secrets of nature and remained in search. Physics plays an important role to understand this physical world. In our daily life, we hardly find a device where physics is not involved.
Consider pulleys that make it easy to lift a load. Consider the means of transportation such as cars and airplanes, domestic appliances such as air-conditioners, washing machines and microwave ovens. Every invention is born out of the concept of Physics.
To add to the essence of this very important subject, we are very glad to launch our yet another journal, the Physics Journal 'Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications (J. Nucl. Phy. Mat. Sci. Rad. A.). It is a venture to promote research in the field of Physics and an exchange as well as an acceptance of intellectual ideas. The aim behind this initiative is that the journal should go far beyond its regional and national boundaries and it must promote a culture of free exchange of research and ideas among the academicians.
The Chitkara University Physics Journal will include an in-depth study of the various branches of Physics. I am very confident of the fact that 'Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications(J. Nucl. Phy. Mat. Sci. Rad. A.)' will serve as a platform to promote research in the vast and dynamic field of physics between the academicians.
Dr. Ashok K Chitkara

Physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through various dimensions of space and time along with various other related concepts. Broadly speaking, Physics is the general analysis of nature in order to understand the behaviour of nature and various phenomenons related to it. The inclusion of astronomy in Physics as one of its branch has made it the oldest academic discipline involving research.
The various researches in Physics have contributed significantly towards the advancement in Science and Technology as the boundary of the subject are not just limited and bound in water tight compartments but are interdisciplinary. The development of Physics has not only contributed in formulating various theories and answering many queries but has also raised many new questions for scientists to research for.
We feel very pleased to announce the upcoming release of our Physics Journal 'Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications (J. Nucl. Phy. Mat. Sci. Rad. A.)', through which we also aim to contribute our best to the world of Physics. This journal is an endeavour to abreast the scientists, budding researchers and academicians with the latest developments in the discipline of Physics and its contribution in the advancement of science and technology. Also, this journal will provide a platform to raise fundamental philosophical questions underlying modern physics by means of various investigations.
I am very sure that this journal will provide an unparalleled opportunity for the growth and innovation of all those involved in the study of nature and its various phenomenon. I would also congratulate the Editorial Board for their extraordinary efforts in bringing out this journal successfully. I wish the All the very best for all their future accomplishments.

It is with great pride, enthusiasm, and pleasure that I invite you to read the inaugural and forthcoming issues with so exciting scope and subject specific Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Science, Radiation and Applications (J. Nucl. Phy. Mat. Sci. Rad. A.). The aim of this innovative Journal J. Nucl. Phy. Mat. Sci. Rad. A., is to create and develop a platform for researchers globally, giving scientific strength, promotion and sharing of latest theoretical and experimental developments in the fields of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences and Radiation. It publishes papers that meet the needs and intellectual interests of researchers working in physical sciences and closely related fields. As there is a plethora of Physics journals available, how do we expect J. Nucl. Phy. Mat. Sci. Rad. A. to be different from others and how will it compete with others, this is a question that can arise in a scholar's mind. This is true, but we, with our world-wide reputed Editorial Team members, will focus on the quality and quantity with rigorous evaluation criteria which is followed by quality research journals and I assure our readers of quality publications of our Physics journal. The journal ensures a wide indexing policy to make published papers highly visible to the scientific community.

Day 1
Visit a branch to confirm your identity within 5 days of applying for a switch. Then we'll contact your old bank to start the process.
It's simpler than you think
When you switch current accounts to us online, we do all the paperwork and keep you updated every step of the way.
The Current Account Switch Service is a free service that lets you switch a current account from one participating bank or building society to another – in 7 working days 2. It's designed to be simple and stress-free, and the full switch option is backed by the Current Account Switch Guarantee. As part of the full switch, we transfer all your payment orders in and out (such as salary and Direct Debits) to your new Barclays account, and also set up a payment redirection for any credits or debits from your old account for a minimum of 3 years.
Step 1: Open your new account online. Or visit a branch if you already have a Barclays current account
Step 2: Give us a few details and choose a full or partial switch
Step 3: We set it all up and tell you when it's done
Current Account Switch Guarantee 37.3 KB
A full switch takes just 7 days – and we take care of everything for you.
Visit a branch to confirm your identity within 5 days of applying for a switch. Then we'll contact your old bank to start the process.
We'll text you to confirm the switch is under way.
We'll send you a letter confirming the date of your switch and confirming that your old bank has agreed to it.
We'll keep you updated by text.
Your switch will be complete and we'll text you to confirm this.
With a full switch, we'll move all your regular credit and debit payments, such as Direct Debits, standing orders, bills and your salary, to your new Barclays account.
We'll then close your old account for you and set up a payment redirect from your old account to your new Barclays one for a minimum of 3 years.
A full switch is covered by the Current Account Switch Guarantee. After you apply, you'll have 5 working days to visit one of our branches and confirm your identity so the switch can start. The process completes 7 working days after you've done this.
With a partial switch1, you'll need to contact your old bank for a list of your debit payments for the account you're switching from. Then, let us know which ones you'd like us to move to your Barclays account. We'll switch these for you but we won't be able to switch any individual future-dated payments.
We'll leave your old account open and you'll need to arrange the transfer of any credit payments (eg, your salary) to your new Barclays account. It takes longer than 7 working days and isn't covered by the Current Account Switching Guarantee.
A funding limit is the maximum amount you'd like us to transfer to your old bank to clear an overdraft or overdrawn balance. You'll need to deposit this amount into your Barclays account, or have an overdraft in place with us for the day of the switch.
We'll transfer an amount up to the funding limit you've chosen to your old account. You'll be able to change this amount up until 5pm on day 6 of the switch by coming into a branch. We'll need to agree to the amount and it needs to be enough to clear any overdrawn balance or overdraft so we can close your old account.
You can use your Barclays account as soon as you open it. We'll contact you to let you know when the switch is complete. When it is, any money coming from your old account will be available.
Your switch could be rejected if the personal details you give us when opening your Barclays account don't match those held by your old bank.
If you think your details might be out of date, you'll need to update them with your old bank. Also, if you apply for a full switch, you have 5 working days to visit one of our branches and confirm your identity. If you don't do this, the switch process can't go ahead.
If your switch is rejected, you can re-apply, but you should make sure you've taken the necessary steps to ensure it doesn't fail again.
The quickest way to switch to us is online, using the full switch option. Some banks don't offer a full switch – these include Bank of England, Brown Shipley, Citibank NA, ING Bank NV, Secure Trust Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, Turkish Bank (UK) Ltd, EFG, Prepaid Financial Services and RBS. Instead, you can use our Paper-based Switching Service (this can take a minimum of 12 working days), or you can continue with the partial switch.
If your bank is signed up to the full switch service, you won't be able to do a paper-based switch.
If you choose a paper-based switch, you'll need to print and complete the form 1.13 MB 2 and then return it to us.
Please note
This form can also be used for switching currency accounts within the UK. You'll need to include all relevant information (including any named people on the account) and sign it. We'll return it to you if it's incomplete and will only begin the switch once we've received the right information.
We'll arrange a transfer of your Direct Debits, standing orders, your remaining balance and, if you tell us to, we'll transfer your incoming and other outgoing payments from your old bank or building society to your new account – we'll then contact your old bank to close your account with them.
In the meantime, you should keep enough money in your old account to cover any regular fees or payments you may have.
If you've set up regular payments from your debit card, you'll need to update your payment details to those on your new Barclays debit card number – as we can't transfer debit card payments.
Accounts made for you
We have many accounts for you to choose from – so you can find one that's right for you.

Categories can be hateful, but they start discussions. So here's one to chew on.
"Hard" geniuses of jazz piano — like Earl "Fatha" Hines, Art Tatum, Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk — chisel their sonic signature into the air with one or two notes.
"Soft" geniuses, nimble and adaptable, go with the flow while propelling it forward. They have just as much to say, but don't poke your chest while saying it. They play exceedingly well with others.
One of the greatest living jazz pianists, 72-year-old Kenny Barron, is a paragon of the soft genius.
Barron arrived Monday for a week-long residency with MSU Jazz Studies students, culminating in a concert Friday with MSU's Jazz Octets and MSU faculty members.
Barron, a jazz legend with hundreds of recordings under his belt and a longtime teacher at the Juilliard School, tells students not to worry about finding their own voice.
"This emphasis on finding yourself is misguided, because it's going to happen anyway," he said. "It winds up being contrived. You're trying to do something that's not really organic. You will find yourself. You just have to play. But if you're constantly checking yourself, you're going to get lost."
That's Barron's career arc in a nutshell. He started out as a dazzler in the bebop mold, playing clubs in his home town of Philadelphia before he was old enough to drink. In his mid-teens, people lined up to hear "the kid from North Philly," according to record producer Joel Dorn.
"They weren't necessarily coming to hear me. They were coming to hear the music," Barron demurred.
He joined trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's combo before he was 20.
"It was intimidating," he confessed.
Barron can still bebop with the best of them. He loves Monk and fills the pianist's chair in a long-running tribute band named Sphere, in honor of Monk's middle name.
But when it comes to his closest influences, Barron named three lesser known pianists: Tommy Flanagan, Hank Jones and Barry Harris, all arguably "soft" geniuses.
"That was my kind of style," Barron said.
"They are all lyrical and have a nice, light touch. That was very important to me."
They had one more thing in common.
"They are all Detroit cats," Barron noted. The Detroit-Philly connection is a longrunning theme in Barron's life. He has worked on and off for decades with spiritual reedman Yusef Lateef, another jazz great with Detroit roots.
Along the way, Barron has earned the reputation of a consummate team player, in small or large groups.
Among Barron's many sublime collaborations is "People Time," a valedictory set of duets with saxophonist Stan Getz, who died in 1991 just a month after the sessions. The music, all of which is now available in an absorbing five-disc set, is almost painfully raw. Supple and songful, Barron is the perfect complement to Getz's gutsy thrusts.
In Barron's liner notes to the collection, he called the music "real, honest, pure and beautiful." Virtuosity for its own sake doesn't interest him.
"People don't necessarily respond to music that's very intellectual, very heady," Barron said. "I can appreciate it on an intellectual level but it won't bring a tear to my eye. That's one of the reasons I started playing, hearing the passion of John Coltrane's group, or Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers."
College has a way of intellectualizing jazz, Barron said. He has to keep pulling his students back to the essence.
"If you say 'composition' to a jazz student, they say, 'Oh, how complicated can I make this?'" he said. "The lyricism and simplicity are lost. It becomes a head thing. You need both the intellect and the emotion."
At MSU, Barron will tell students volumes about every facet of jazz.
"I'll talk to them about what it's like to be a jazz musician, the things that are expected of you," he said. "You have to deal with the business end of it without forgetting the most important question: Why do I want to play jazz?"
In the unlikely event that they fall short on reasons, Barron can add a few.
"Studying music, especially jazz, does something to your personality," he said. "You become kinder and gentler person. And you become more disciplined. People who study music do better academically."
Barron is a living embodiment of jazz tradition, but no stickler over it. He's made forays into electric funk and world music and just finished writing a classical string trio.
"That was daunting," he said. "The guys that commissioned it don't improvise."
Like a long-flowing river, jazz is being shunted into tributaries that snake around the globe. Barron is proud that a former student of his, Sunny Jain, started his own India-influenced funk group, Red Baraat.
"He's taking jazz roots and mixing it with Indian ragas and been very successful," Barron said.
International cross-pollination fascinates Barron. He welcomed African-born guitarist/vocalist Lionel Loueke as a guest on his last album, "The Traveler," and wants to work with him again. He's also planning a follow-up to the offbeat "Swamp Sally" LP with French multi-threat percussionist and electronics master Mino Cinelu.
"It was mostly stuff that was foreign to me, using a lot of overdubs," he said. "I played electric keyboard bass, upright bass."
Barron's versatility will be on full display in San Francisco this April, where he'll do a week-long residency with a different group each night. There will be a trio, a quartet with vibraphonist Stefon Harris, a night of Brazilian music and a night of strings featuring violinist Regina Carter, bassist Dave Holland and the cellist Mark Summer of the Turtle Island Quartet.
It's a long way from Barron's bebop days, but he shrugs off any notion he's changed very much.
"Well, it's the same 12 notes," he said. "At this point I'm just trying to have fun. I'm 72 years old. I don't take anything too seriously."

This little creature, also called walputi or banded anteater, is the only surviving member of the Family Myrmecobiidae. This is one of the four families that make up the order Dasyuromorphia, the Australian marsupial carnivores. It is an endangered species and is protected in Australia.
As you can see in the picture, this animal is small and looks like a squirrel. When first discovered in 1831 by a European expedition, it was described variously as a cat, weasel or squirrel. It subsists entirely on termites and eats up to 20,000 per day. This animal occupied the same niche in Australia that is occupied by ant-eaters in Asia and Africa.
They used to be found all over Australia but have now shrunk in range to only small colonies around the the Dryandra Woodland and the Perup Nature Reserve. There are efforts being made to re-introduce them in small reserves in South Australia and New South Wales.
The only marsupial to be active by day too, these creatures have wide territories that are defended against animals of the same sex. They are usually solitary but come together for mating once a year during February or March.
Unlike other marsupials, the females don't have a pouch and the young, typically four, attach to the teats when born. They stay locked in place until July or August.
The Numbats are threatened because of loss of habitat due to European habitation and if they are to survive, such efforts like multiple secured territories will be necessary. We hope to see them expand all over the gracious Australian landmass.
Please support the Project Numbat initiative and help make this happen. You can shop for really swanky Numbat memorabilia here.

Janet Jackson has been hospitalized in Montreal, Canada.
The singer "got suddenly ill during the sound check" before her concert in Montreal and had to be rushed to the hospital, according to People.
A statement was released by her PR firm, W&W Public Relations.
Jackson, 42, is being monitored at a Montreal hospital, and there are plans to reschedule the show.
This isn't the first canceled stop. Last Friday, she called off her Detroit show due to "production constraints," according to TMZ.
She plans to reschedule that show as well. The Rock Witchu Tour also features LL Cool J, and is slated to continue until Oct. 22.
While promoting her new album, "Discipline," in April, Jackson canceled an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" due to bronchitis, according to boyfriend and producer Jermaine Dupri.
Get better soon, Janet!
That album reportedly needs more promotion.
