Mormonism is a heretical religious movement founded in the early 19th century by Joseph Smith, Jr. It is self-described as a form of Christian Restorationism, and it includes many religious sects and organizations. The largest of these churches today is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), with its headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Mormon Theology
Mormonism as a whole encompasses a mélange of many different religious beliefs, the majority of which are contrary to Church teaching. Joseph Smith obtained inspiration from various religious movements of the time. Campbellite, Restorationist, and Universalist beliefs are prevalent in many aspects of Mormon theology; however, the foundation of Mormon belief is the acceptance of modern prophecy. Smith and early Mormon leaders taught that any person with a testimony of Christ is a prophet. Most modern members of the LDS believe that the current president of the Mormon Church is a living prophet. Another pillar of Mormon belief is their concept of deification. Adhering to some extent to the Trinitarian doctrines stated in the First and Second Ecumenical Councils, Mormons believe that God the Father was originally a human being. However, they believe that He also maintains a corporeal form and resides near a planet orbiting a star called "Kolob" (Doctrines and Covenants, Abraham III). As stated in The Mormon Encyclopedia:
- "There is no ultimate disparity between the divine and human natures; Joseph Smith asserted that mankind is of the same species as God, having been made in God's image (theomorphism) and being eternal, with unlimited capacity." One early LDS leader proclaimed, "As man now is, God once was. As God now is, man may be" (Lorenzo Snow). Latter-day Saints speak of man as a God in embryo" (under section Christology)
Deification, then, in Mormon terminology, is a system of progression by which man becomes a god. For a casual observer, this may seem similar to the Church's teaching of theosis, but this is not so. First, there is a definite distinction in the Church between God and mankind. Second, theosis is a unification between God and mankind, not the creation of an entirely separate deity.
Exaltation is explained as becoming, through the sacrifice of Christ, a co-inheritor with Jesus in all that the Father possesses (Romans 8:16-17); that as children of God we are enabled to become one with God as Jesus is one with God, inheriting the same divinity and perfection they enjoy, eternally acting under their guiding influence and authority.
While the primary focus of Mormonism is on salvation through the atonement of Jesus Christ, exaltation goes beyond salvation. All mankind will be saved from death through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but it is only those whom God judges as obedient and faithful, who receive specific saving ordinances (which will be offered to every person that has ever lived), and who fully accept the atonement of Jesus Christ before the judgment will be exalted.
"The Great Apostasy"
Like many Restorationist heresies that arose in the early 18th and 19th centuries, Mormons believe that the Church entered an age of opprobrium several years after its founding. In their belief, Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the Church after praying about the correct denomination to join. He was then told by God to reject all of them, because none was correct.
Essentially, Mormons reject the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church through their profession that it never was representative of the faith founded by Jesus Christ and promulgated through his Apostles. The Orthodox Church, which as of this very moment traces its unbroken succession to the Apostles themselves, ergo is in apostasy according to the Mormons.
Book of Mormon
In 1823 Smith claimed to have a visitation by an angel named Moroni, who told him of a chronicle of ancient history which was supposedly engraved in an ancient Egyptian dialect on tablets of gold and buried in a nearby hill. Smith was also told that he would be the instrument to bring this knowledge to the world. He allegedly obtained these plates in 1827 and supposedly translated them into English via the use of two seer-stones which he called the "Urim and Thummim" (Hebrew for lights and perfections). These stones are not to be confused with the Old Testament Urim and Thummim, the stones on the High Priest's breastplate used to relay messages from God to his people.
This translation became The Book of Mormon, which is revered as another testament of Jesus Christ by Mormons. The Book of Mormon purports to be a religious and secular history of the inhabitants of the Americas from about 2200 B.C. to A.D. 421. It claims that the Amerindians are descended from various groups of Near Eastern peoples (including Jews) who immigrated during pivotal periods in Israel's history.
Ironically, Joseph claimed that many of these people were Christians before the birth of Our Lord. Additionally, there are other anachronisms as well. The history and civilization portrayed by Smith in The Book of Mormon doesn't match anything found by archaeologists in the Americas. Items like horses, elephants, cattle, sheep, barley, wheat, steel swords, wheeled chariots, shipbuilding, coins, and other Old World paraphernalia have not been found to exist in the Americas until the advent of the Spanish. Furthermore, The Book of Mormon presents a people with one common language, contrary to the multitude of different Amerindian languages studied by linguists. Unsurprisingly, no evidence of these people, Joseph's tablets, or his "seer-stones" has ever been found.
Mormonism and Polygyny
Mormon doctrine states that in order to achieve the highest state in heaven one must be living in polygamy. Many sources say that Smith had as many as twenty to thirty wives. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the mainstream Mormon sect, practiced polygyny until 1890, when they sacrificed the doctrine to ensure Utah's statehood. Today about 70% of Utah is Mormon and around 60,000 practice polygyny (5% of Utah Mormons). Also, there are other Mormon sects practicing polygyny secretly all over the world. Despite the huge publicity campaign the LDS Church has constructed to dissuade people from associating them with polygyny, Mormons and plural marriages are commonly associated in contemporary culture. While such a practice may have been given up by the mainstream, there is no doubt that Mormonism and the unholy practice of plural marriage remain closely entwined.
Obviously, the Orthodox Church teaches that salvation is not contingent on practicing polygamy. Furthermore, the Church condemns all forms of plural marriage as an unnatural practice.

After trillions in taxpayer debt has been foolishly poured into the bottomless black hole of leftist wealth redistribution programs, under the guise of economic "stimulus" or "stabilization" legislation, the new "ONE World" government running Washington DC announces; Geithner, Bernanke Call for New Wind-Down Powers After AIG... and the people still sit silent as they watch Obamanation grow in unbridled power.
Geithner Asks Congress for even Broader Power to Seize private Firmsas the average American stumbles through their daily routine as if nothing is happening. Canada Free Press managing editor Judi McLeod writes No cheerleader for propping up greenback at G20 summitasking, "Is the table being set for One World Government rather than speeding the recovery of the worldwide recession at next week's G20 London summit?"
Obamanation has taken the nation from a trillion in debt to over $4 trillion in debt in the first sixty days, with even more federal spending promised, which could put the nation $10 trillion in debt before the 2010 mid-term election cycle. Amnesty for illegals and ACORN led redistricting will make 2010 and beyond a moot point.
Still, beyond the movement to mail tea bags to members of congress or file another legal demand for proof of Obama's constitutional eligibility for the office he holds, both of which are like whistling in the breeze, the people remain largely silent.
Threatened with a Soup Line Existence
The American people would never trade personal freedom for the false promise of federally redistributed free-stuff under some ill-fated socialist experiment, unless they were first threatened with a soup line existence.
And so it shall be...
50% of their life savings and 30% of their home values have already evaporated into thin air. National unemployment is driving towards double digits as home foreclosures continue to mound.
With their backs against the wall, confused by a daily diet of media manipulated headlines aimed at scaring the public into submission, convinced that our nation's complex woes demand a solution far too complicated for the average peasant to comprehend, the people find themselves in a state of terminal paralysis.
Incompetent Evil in Charge
The same people responsible for the many disasters now surrounding every American household, were elected in 2006 and 2008 to fix what they broke. Instead of reversing course and placing their faith in the principles of freedom, they are installing more of the same failed entitlement policies that created the problem and they are doing so at a fever pace.
The folks currently in charge of the nation don't like anything at all about the nation that once was. They have a very different vision for America, one based on redistribution of free-stuff, not equal access to freedom.
At the foundation of personal freedom is the right to make your own decisions, invest and risk your own capital, own your own property and keep that which you are willing to work and sacrifice to earn. It's called economic freedom, aka capitalism.
But capitalism is public enemy #1 in America today, thanks to decades of class warfare and the art of division via social envy, all for purpose of political gain.
Life, Liberty and the right to individually define and pursue Happiness has been replaced with the right of some to take from others against their will, in the name of a greater common good, better defined as the entitlement mentality.
The Change Agents New World Dictionary
Old concepts have been redefined. Capitalism is now referred to as Fascism. Personal ambition is now called greed. Those who seek access to other people's rightful earnings are called charitable, and those who demand a right to only that, which they earn, are called greedy.
It isn't just the words that have new definitions. The concepts have new meaning as a result.
Words like socialism and communism no longer have a negative connotation attached to them. Most Americans have no idea what they are anymore, or why they don't want to find out the hard way.
The concept of liberal interpretations limits the meaning of words only to one's individual imagination. The Constitution means only what someone imagines it to mean. If the shoe doesn't quite fit, a new definition will solve the problem.
What are Americans Waiting For?
I don't know what it will take to wake up the average American, but whatever it is, it hasn't happened yet...
The people currently stocking up on food, water, guns and ammo in record numbers, causing shortages in all the above at the retail level, are clearly awake and anticipating something, but what? Meet the "extremists..."
The people still trying to get a court somewhere in America to hear the arguments concerning the most secretive corrupt president in US history, have been awake for a long time. Meet the "birthers..." But they continue to have trouble waking anyone else up, including in the so-called halls of justice.
Is it a bankrupt dollar and a new international currency that will get their attention? - A North American Union? - An ACORN Army on their doorstep? What will be the final straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back?
I don't have the answer... Frankly, I expected the people to revolt long before now. Clearly, I had underestimated the depth of apathy and tolerance for anti-American nonsense in the average modern American. But then, so did our nation's founders, whom I'm certain are rolling over in their graves in disgust by now.
The Silent Consent Continues
Nobody knows for how long or at what expense, but so far, the people remain silent and Washington continues to profitably interpret that silence as broad-based consent.
At this late date, I have no idea what will wake up the average American or how they might react once finally awake and ready to engage in self-governance. However, I am sure about two things...
When they finally do awake, they are going to be really angry...
And, the anti-American left won't let up until then...
The clock isn't just ticking. Time has already run out as of the 2008 election. Washington DC is currently dismantling America, individual right by individual right, in an unprecedented massive multi-faceted assault on all things American.
If you are not familiar with the Democratic Socialists of Americaor their legislative branch, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, I strongly suggest that you take time to learn them well. They are in charge of your nation. This is who the average American is up against and they are a very well funded and organized enemy of the state.
You will not be able to take your country back without putting these two organizations out of business. The longer you wait, the tougher the battle, the higher the price.
Clearly, the organizational skills of the average American are equal only to that of the stumbling bumbling Republican Party. Fragmented, distracted and disorganized, the people are no match for the leftist juggernaut running roughshod in DC.
The people are lost, so they are losing... The most complex problems require the simplest of solutions. But the average American is so baffled by a daily diet of elitist B.S., that they cannot even see daylight... – When all else fails, return to the basics!
Here's to the average American waking up in time! - Good luck!

Following on from the first post in my blogging series Building a Blog I'm just going to take a quick look at some of the blogging platforms you can choose to manage your blog. The most common platform that I have come across if WordPress. I haven't really used WordPress to managing any of my blogs. I have installed it and downloaded it but I plumped for Google's blogger mainly because of how easy it was to setup and how little I had to do to start blogging.
WordPress definitely has a lot of advantages you can download it for free from here http://wordpress.org/ You can also find some useful documentation for installing and configuring and some links to potential hosts for you blog. There will be a cost for the hosting.
There are lots of plugin and themes that you can download for free and there some that you can pay for depending on your preference.These can all be used to improve the functionality and services that your blog provides. As I said WordPress is the most popular blog platform out there so you can get a lot of support from people using it to host their blogs and websites.
I opted for Google's' Blogger.com when I started this blog, I did because at the time it seemed like the easiest way for me to do it. It didn't cost anything to setup or host and a for a small fee you get a domain name integrated with Google apps.
Thus far I have not had any problems with it. It is all hosted and housed by Google which does mean its not as flexible as WordPress but it has suited me fine.
If I was starting again now I would put more time and effort into WordPress but as my blog seems to be doing OK on Google I have no intention yet to migrate…For now anyway, maybe at a later date I will attempt to migrate it.
What do you think, what's your preferred blogging platform and why?
If you want to read more about building a successful blog this is a really good book with some really good tips in it ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income

I still experience that numb spacey feeling that comes with chemo brain. Chemo brain is the condition that you become aware of after months of chemotherapy. You know you have chemo brain when you begin to wonder who stole your brain. It produces brain fog, memory loss, slow-wittedness and more. Aside from writing several blogs dedicated to chemo brain over the past year and a half, I also had the opportunity to discuss it in a HealthTalk Live webcast last December. During the year since, I have found the medical community more open to accepting that this condition exists, however, we are still a long way off from understanding how it is caused, or how it can be treated.
The fact that I am still writing about it a year later is discouraging for me; it may be getting better, but it is not going away. Some days, I just notice it more than others. In fact, it might not even be getting better; I might just be getting used to it and compensating for it in other ways. Regardless, I have decided to put my brain to the test. Because of my involvement with this Web site and a keen interest in other health-related issues, I have decided to upgrade my health and science skills. I have actually returned to college and am taking an intermediate anatomy and physiology class.
The class started at the end of August, but I waited to tell you about it until after the first exam. I honestly didn't know if I could do it or not. I find the enormous amount of reading that is required takes me longer to fulfill as I reread portions several times before grasping key points. It was a real challenge to prepare for the five chapter exam last week. I tried to stuff so much into my head that I was afraid to talk before the exam for fear of it falling out! The exam result was a B+. Only four others in a class size of 35+ did better than me! My success (so far) in studying this material has proven something I suspected about chemo brain. It doesn't affect how smart you are, but it does make using your brain more challenging. Also, I do believe the effects of the condition lesson over time.
The point of my story is that just like muscles, the brain needs to be exercised. The more you use it, the stronger it will become. That certainly is what I am trying to prove to myself by taking on this school thing at this phase of my life. What good is it to win over cancer, live until the age of 80 to end up a dim-witted old lady? Sharp and shrewd would make for a lot more fun.

London would be my preference. It's pretty much between London and Paris anyway.
PARIS President Jacques Chirac of France cracked jokes about mad cow diseases and bad English food during a conversation with President Vladimir Putin of Russia and Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of Germany in Kaliningrad on Sunday, a French daily, Libération, reported Monday.
"The only thing they have ever done for European agriculture is mad cow," Chirac joked, eliciting laughter from Schröder and Putin, the newspaper said. As for British food, Chirac apparently said, "You can't trust people who cook as badly as that."
London, beats every other choice hands down. Besides who eats English food in London ? And french food, lets not even talk about that.
Paris, but don't know much about each bid. To go to London to watch the olympics would just cost too much.

Not sure why NY has bid, seeing as it was in the US not that long ago.
I did see that there's a rumour that Moscow, London and Madrid are conspiring that they advice anyone who backs them to switch to ensure they get rid of Paris if they get knocked out in the first round.

As an ex- resident of London I am probably biased , but IMO London is a truly wonderful City.
I loved it when I lived there and couldn't get enough of this truly amazing City with so much to do and so many thousand facets to it . The cutural melting pot , the great variety and a truly Romantic City If you know what I mean !!
I love London !!
London all the way !!!!

Madrid won't get it as a fall out of the RFEF (Spanish football/soccer federation) giving out p***weak fines (less then $2000) to the racial abuse that was dished out by fans (Spain v England is the biggest example) they may as well not have fined them at all. Plus there is always ETA.

Pall in the Family
by Dawn Eastman
The debut book in Eastman's "Family Fortune Mystery" series, Pall in the Family takes readers on a mystical trip to Crystal Haven — a small western-Michigan town revered by tourists seeking psychics, séances and contact with the spirit world. Often sought out by said tourists, the Fortune family is famous for their supernatural proclivities: Rose reads tarot cards, her sister Vi is a pet psychic and Rose's daughter, Clyde… well, she is trying to pretend she hasn't inherited her family's "gifts." A cop by trade, Clyde comes home to Crystal Haven to reevaluate her life, only to be thrust into the thick of a mystery when a local psychic is killed.
Going Through the Notions
by Cate Price
A cozy mystery set in the quaint town of Millbury, Pennsylvania, Going Through the Notions is Cate Price's first book of "A Deadly Notions Mystery" series. Daisy Buchanan — whose parents were obviously F. Scott Fitzgerald fans — presides over a shop in the village called Sometimes a Great Notion, a boutique specializing in sewing bits and baubles, antiques and jewelry.

Colorado Avalanche Information Center may move to Natural Resources
the denver post
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center is enduring a game of hot potato.
Last spring, new legislation shifted the country's first avalanche forecasting program to the Colorado School of Mines as part of a transfer of the Colorado Geological Survey.
The transfer was scheduled to take effect on Jan. 31, but new legislation could separate the CAIC from the geological survey and transfer it to the Colorado Department of Natural Resources.
Freshman state Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, D-Steamboat Springs, proposed the new legislation that would reverse last year's bill and return responsibility of the CAIC to the executive director of the Department of Natural Resources.
As the university studied the avalanche center, it became evident that the CAIC's daily avalanche forecasting, avalanche incident review and avalanche education programs fit better with the state department than with a research-oriented institution, Mitsch Bush said.
"The CAIC does research into how avalanches form and what makes a slab but their most important research is for us as consumers, with that report they put up every day," said Mitsch Bush, an avid backcountry skier who hails CAIC as "the best avalanche center in the country" and brought her avalanche beacon and shovel to a House agriculture committee hearing on Monday.

General John Buford's Report on His Cavalry's Action at Gettysburg
August 27, 1863.
COLONEL: I have the honor to make the following report of the operations of the First Cavalry Division, from its crossing the Potomac at Edwards Ferry, on June 27, to its crossing of the Rappahannock on August 1: After passing the Potomac on the upper pontoon bridge, the division marched over almost impassable roads, crossing the Monocacy near its mouth by a wretched ford, and bivouacked on the east side of the mountains, 3 miles from Jefferson, being halted there by the whole train of General Stahel's division blockading the road through the mountains.
June 28, the division moved through Jefferson, and went into camp near Middletown, for the purpose of shoeing and refitting. June 29, the Reserve Brigade was detached and moved to Mechanicstown. The First and Second Brigades moved through Boonsborough, Cavetown, and Monterey Springs, and encamped near Fairfield, within a short distance of a considerable force of the enemy's infantry. The inhabitants knew of my arrival and the position of the enemy's camp, yet not one of them gave me a particle of information, nor even mentioned the fact of the enemy's presence. The whole community seemed stampeded, and afraid to speak or to act, often offering as excuses for not showing some little enterprise, "The rebels will destroy our houses if we tell anything." Had any one given me timely information, and acted as guide that night, I could have surprised and captured or destroyed this force, which proved next day to be two Mississippi regiments of infantry and two guns. June 30, the two brigades moved out very early to go to Gettysburg, via Fairfield. At the latter place my advance ran upon the force referred to. I determined to feel it and drive it, if possible, but, after a little skirmishing, found that artillery would have to be necessarily used Resolved not to disturb them, for fear cannonading from that quarter might disarrange the plans of the general commanding. Fairfield was 4 or 5 miles west of the route assigned me, and I did not wish to bring on an engagement so far from the road I was expected to be following. I immediately turned my column toward Emmitsburg without serious molestation, and was soon on my proper road and moving on Gettysburg, where I had reason to suppose I should find some of General Stahel's [Kilpatrick's] cavalry. We entered Gettysburg in the afternoon, just in time to meet the enemy entering the town, and in good season to drive him back before his getting a foothold. He withdrew toward Cashtown, leaving his pickets about 4½ miles from Gettysburg.
The night of the 30th was a busy night for the division. No reliable information of value could be obtained from the inhabitants, and but for the untiring exertions of many different scouting parties, information of the enemy's whereabouts and movements could not have been gained in time to prevent him from getting the town before our army could get up.
By daylight on July 1, I had gained positive information of the enemy's position and movements, and my arrangements were made for entertaining him until General Reynolds could reach the scene.
On July 1, between 8 and 9 a.m., reports came in from the First Brigade (Colonel Gamble's) that the enemy was coming down from toward Cashtown in force. Colonel Gamble made an admirable line of battle, and moved off proudly to meet him. The two lines soon became hotly engaged, we having the advantage of position, he of numbers. The First Brigade held its own for more than two hours, and had to be literally dragged back a few hundred yards to a position more secure and better sheltered. Tidball's battery, commanded by Lieutenant Calef, Second U.S. Artillery, fought on this occasion as is seldom witnessed. At one time the enemy had a concentric fire upon this battery from twelve guns, all at short range. Calef held his own gloriously, worked his guns deliberately with great judgment and skill, and with wonderful effect upon the enemy. The First Brigade maintained this unequal contest until the leading division of General Reynolds' corps came up to its assistance, and then most reluctantly did it give up the front. A portion of the Third Indiana found horse-holders, borrowed muskets, and fought with the Wisconsin regiment that came to relieve them. While this left of my line was engaged, Devin's brigade, on the right, had its hands full The enemy advanced upon Devin by four roads, and on each was checked and held until the leading division of the Eleventh Corps came to his relief.
After the fall of General Reynolds, whose advance troops partially drove back the enemy and made heavy captures of prisoners, the enemy brought up fresh troops, and engaged General Doubleday's command, which fought bravely, but was greatly outnumbered and forced to fall back. Seeing our troops retiring, and their need of assistance, I immediately rushed Gamble's brigade to Doubleday's left, and dismounted it in time to render great assistance to our infantry, and to check and break the enemy's line. My troops at this place had partial shelter behind a low stone fence, and were in short carbine range. Their fire was perfectly terrific, causing the enemy to break and rally on their second line, which made no farther advance toward my position.
Shortly after this, I placed my command on our extreme left, to watch and fight the enemy should he make another attack, and went to Cemetery Hill for observation. While there, General Hancock arrived, and in a few moments he made superb disposition to resist any attack that might be made.
My division bivouacked that night on the left of our position, with pickets extending almost to Fairfield.
The zeal, bravery, and good behavior of the officers and men on the night of June 30, and during July 1, was commendable in the extreme. A heavy task was before us; we were equal to it, and shall all remember with pride that at Gettysburg we did our country much service.
July 2, the division became engaged with the enemy's sharpshooters <ar43_928> on our left, and held its own until relieved by General Sickles' corps, after which it moved to Taneytown, and bivouacked for the night.
The next day, July 3, it moved to Westminster, to guard the trains of the army at that point.
July 4, the division marched toward Frederick, en route to Williamsport.
July 5, reached Frederick, drew supplies, and remained all night. July 6, the whole division (the Reserve Brigade having joined the night before) marched at 4 a.m. toward Williamsport, to destroy the enemy's trains, which were reported to be crossing the Potomac into Virginia.
At about 5 p.m., when near Saint James' College, the enemy's pickets were discovered, driven in, and preparations made to capture the town. The enemy was driven handsomely to within half a mile of his trains, at the town, when he came out strong enough to prevent our farther progress. General Merritt's brigade, with Graham's battery, was on the right, Colonel Gamble's (First) brigade on the left, and Colonel Devin's (Second) brigade on the left rear as reserves. The enemy made an attack upon Gamble, who had posted his men under shelter, and who held his fire until the rebel line came within short carbine range, when he opened upon it, doing terrible execution, and driving it back into its stronghold. This was repeated with similar success. In Merritt's front the enemy made no direct attack, but were so obstinate that General Merritt could not dislodge them without too much sacrifice. The enemy, however, attempted to turn our right with a brigade of infantry. This attempt was most admirably foiled by General Merritt.
While our hottest contest was in progress, General Kilpatrick's guns were heard in the direction of Hagerstown, and as they grew nearer, I sent word to him to connect with my right for mutual support. The connection was made, but was of no consequence to either of us. Just before dark, Kilpatrick's troops gave way, passing to my rear by the right, and were closely followed by the enemy.
It now being dark, outnumbered, and the First and Reserve Brigades being out of ammunition, Devin was ordered to relieve Gamble and a portion of Merritt's troops. This being done, I ordered the command to fall back, Devin to hold his ground until the entire road to the Antietam was clear. Devin handsomely carried out his instructions, and the division bivouacked on the road to Boonsborough.
The expedition had for its object the destruction of the enemy's trains, supposed to be at Williamsport. This, I regret to say, was not accomplished. The enemy was too strong for me, but he was severely punished for his obstinacy. His casualties were more than quadruple mine.
Colonel Chapman, with his regiment, dashed off to the road leading from Falling Waters to Williamsport, and destroyed a small train of grain, and returned with about 40 mules and their harness.
At Williamsport, Captain Graham fought his battery with marked ability, and to the admiration of all witnesses. The officers and men behaved with their usual courage, displaying great unwillingness to fall back, and requiring repeated orders before they did so.
July 7, the division moved to Boonsborough, the Reserve Brigade camping well in advance on the Hagerstown road, after having a successful cavalry brush with the enemy's advance, of which I have as yet received no report.
July 8, the enemy attacked at 5 a.m., and the fighting lasted until about 5 p.m. He was driven back about 4 miles, when the division then bivouacked for the night.
July 9, attacked the enemy at 4 p.m. and drove him handsomely about 2 miles.
July 10, attacked the enemy at 8 a.m. and drove him through Funkstown to his intrenchments beyond Antietam, when he came out with a heavy force of infantry and artillery and gave battle. The division held the crest on our side of the town like veterans until its ammunition was exhausted. Howe's division, of the Sixth Corps, was in easy supporting distance, but had no orders to aid me. At 3 p.m. I could no longer reply with carbines, for want of cartridges, and consequently ordered the division to fall back. A brigade of the Sixth Corps then began to advance, but did not occupy the position that I held when I left the field.
There was splendid fighting on the part of the division on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. There was no faltering or hesitation. Each man went to work determined to carry anything in reason. For the particulars I refer you to the reports of the brigade commanders.
July 11, the First and Second Brigades moved in the afternoon to the vicinity of Bakersville. The Reserve Brigade was detached.
July 12 and 13, remained at Bakersville, and pushed pickets to within 800 yards of the enemy's intrenchments at Downsville.
July 14, at 7 a.m., the division was ordered to advance, and at 7.30 o'clock it was discovered that the enemy had evacuated during the night. The few remaining scouts were run into the rear guard of Lee's army, which was soon seen in front of Kilpatrick, who had advanced from the north. Kilpatrick was engaged. I sent word to him that I would put my whole force in on the enemy's rear and flank, and get possession of the road and bridge in their rear. The division succeeded in getting the road, and attacked the enemy in flank and rear, doing him great damage, and scattering him in confusion through the woods and ravines. Our spoils on this occasion were one 10-pounder Parrott gun, one caisson, over 500 prisoners, and about 300 muskets. General Merritt came up in time to take the advance before the enemy had entirely crossed, and made many captures. The enemy's bridge was protected by over a dozen guns in position and sharpshooters on the Virginia side. As our troops neared the bridge, the enemy cut the Maryland side loose, and the bridge swung to the Virginia side.
July 15, the division moved to Berlin. July 16, moved camp to Petersville. July 17, remained at Petersville.
July 18, crossed during the afternoon, and encamped near Purcellville.
July 19, marched through Philomont, and encamped on Goose Creek, near Rector's Cross-Roads.
July 20, marched to Rectortown. Detached General Merritt with his brigade to hold Manassas Gap, Gamble to hold Chester Gap, and Devin, with all the train, moved to Salem.
July 21, Merritt in Manassas, Gamble near Chester Gap, finding it already in possession of a superior force of the enemy. General Merritt and Colonel Gamble each had a fight and made captures, for particulars of which see their reports.
July 22, wagon train sent to Warrenton in charge of Sixth New York Cavalry. Devin moved toward Barbee's Cross-Roads.
July 23, whole division concentrated at Barbee's Cross-Roads, and remained until the 26th, when the division took position at Warrenton and Fayetteville, picketing the Rappahannock River from Sulphur Springs to Kelly's Ford.
During the whole campaign, from June 27 to July 31, there has been no shirking or hesitation, no tiring on the part of a single man so far as I have seen; the brigade commanders report none.
To General Merritt and Colonels Gamble and Devin, brigade commanders, I give my heartfelt thanks for their zeal and hearty support. Neither of them ever doubted the feasibility of an order, but on its reception obeyed its dictates to the letter.
My staff–Captains [Charles E.] Norris, Keogh, [Craig W.] Wadsworth, and Bacon, and Lieutenants Mix, P. Penn Gaskill, Dean, [Albert P.] Morrow, [Malcomb H.] Wing, and [George M.] Gilchrist–were always on hand, and gave me much valuable information from where the fire was hottest, and were of immense assistance in conveying orders on the field of battle, and seeing that they were obeyed. During the campaign they were all under heavy fire on different occasions, and for coolness and gallantry cannot be excelled in this army.
Lieutenant [Aaron B.] Jerome, signal corps, was ever on the alert, and through his intrepidity and fine glasses on more than one occasion kept me advised of the enemy's movements when no other means were available. Surgeon Hard, Eighth Illinois Cavalry, surgeon-in-chief to the division, deserve great credit for his zealous and untiring attention and labors with the sick and wounded. Through his exertions their sufferings have been greatly alleviated, their wants supplied, and many lives saved. Many wounded soldiers are indebted to him for his timely aid on the battle-field, who, but for his energy, would have shared the fate of many poor fellows who had less attentive surgeons.
I transmit with this the reports of the brigade commanders.
The First Brigade captured 854 head of beef-cattle and 602 sheep at Chester Gap, which were turned over to the subsistence department at Markham, July 24.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Brigadier-General of Volunteers, Commanding.
Lieut. Col. C. Ross SMITH,
Chief of Staff, Cavalry Corps.
General Buford participated in the fall Bristoe Campaign, but had to leave the field after contracting Typhoid Fever. On December 16th, 1863, the bedridden, gravely ill Buford was promoted to Major General. He died later that day.

The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, located in the towns of Okuma and Futaba in Japan, gained international attention on March 11 of this year when the country was ravaged by earthquake and subsequent tsunami. After months of effort to prevent a nuclear meltdown at the site, the power plant has, according to NPR, "leaked about 45 tons of highly radioactive water from a purification device over the weekend, its operator said, and some may have drained into the ocean."
Tokyo Electric Power Co. (also known as TEPCO) has pledged to shut down the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant by the end of the year amidst much criticism about its construction and handling of the meltdown.
NPR reports that TEPCO released a statement on its website indicating that "a pool of radioactive water was discovered midday Sunday around a decontamination device" and that "after the equipment was turned off, the leak appeared to stop. Later, workers found a crack in a concrete barrier leaking the contaminated water into a gutter that leads to the ocean."
The power company has estimated that approximately 300 litres leaked out from the power plant before a crew was able to plug a hole and stop the leak. The concern is that radioactive water containing the harmful Celsium-137 may be released into the ocean and impact the seafood in the water that many fisherman and citizens rely on.
TEPCO is utilizing purification devices "to decontaminate water that has been cooling the reactors. Three of the plant's reactor cores mostly melted down when the March 11 tsunami knocked out the plant's cooling system."

Pimp your Guide!
Unfortunately, I couldn't produce a custom guide for every sub-region in the province. For those who don't stray far from their home turf and want a guide that focuses on their local species, there's a simple solution. Your local Field Naturalist Club probably maintains a checklist of the butterfly species that are found in your area. Alternatively, you can consult some of the resources I've listed on my reference page and work out your own list of species for your area ( this would be a great exercise! ). Once you have a list of the species for your area, you can pick up some inexpensive stickers and use them to customize your guide with your own notes.
Don't just look at the Pictures!
When you're trying to identify a butterfly you've seen, it can be tempting to just look at the photos and pick something that looks similar. Unfortunately, there are a number of lookalikes that can be difficult to tell apart, especially for the untrained eye. Even experts have trouble distinguishing some species visually. Other clues can help you zero in on the correct ID:
- compare the size of the butterfly in question to the size code in the guide
- check the flight season chart to see if the species you're considering is normally flying at the time you made your observation
- consider the status codes - is the species you're considering rare or common?
- Consult a field guide to get more precise ID criteria, and more detailed information about the habits and habitats of the species in question. This information may also be available on the Butterflies of Canada website ( see links page ). Some butterflies are localized to very specific types of habitats, and where you saw the butterfly in question can factor into the identification.
- Your local Field Naturalist Club probably maintains a checklist of the butterfly species normally found in your area which can help you narrow things down.
- Use eButterfly to get an idea of the normal range for a species you think you may have seen, but note that the eButterfly database has limited data for some areas of the province. You can help fix this by contributing your own observations ( click here to find out more ).
- If you have a photo, you can post it to one of the butterfly observation listserv groups to see if someone can help you with the ID. Alternatively, you can report your observation via eButterfly as an "unknown species" and include the photo. An expert will review your record and may be able to provide an ID. Include information about where and when you saw the butterfly in question, and any behavioral observations that may provide additional clues to its identity.

Last few days I found out that when I open Google Chrome and the laptop's fans start working really hard and I can not touch the mousepad because of heating.
I use Ubuntu 11.10 on my Toshiba A350-22z laptop and monitor CPU and hard drive temperature. Both cores reached 104 Celsius and I read somewhere "if your processor reaches 105 Celsius it harms itself". I cleaned the inside of of laptop a year ago but there is a point when the weather reaches about 20 Celsius there was no problem. I know hardware cleaning is the best solution but how can I solve with another way? I think the problem is related to the hot weather outside. Is there anybody that has the same problem? In addition to Google Chrome, I realized that when I open online video, the processor temperature increases very quickly.

The automotive industry has faced hardships in recent times, but it can and will survive by renewing itself through innovation. After enduring a $14.6 billion loss in 2008, Ford reported a $2.7 billion profit in 2009 and applied for a total of 119 patents for the 2010 Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid. Clearly, now more than ever, inventive thinking is key to any automaker's success. In the process, automotive engineers have not gone it alone — collaborations with various scientific disciplines continue to inspire and reinvent the design of safer and more efficient vehicles.
Aerospace and Automotive Partnerships
Automotive and aerospace engineers have long fostered a fruitful relationship, stemming back to NASA's first manned space missions. In the 1960s, General Motors (GM) worked with NASA to develop navigation systems for the Apollo missions, while Ford was instrumental in building Mission Control for the historic Moon landings. The collaborative partnership between members of these two industries remains strong today.
NASA's Johnson Space Center (Houston, TX) and GM recently teamed up through a Space Act Agreement to build a humanoid robot, dubbed Robonaut 2, or R2. The robot's hands are capable of performing more complicated work than previous humanoid machines, and it is able to work safely alongside humans to serve both space and Earth applications. GM plans to implement the robot in manufacturing plants to help decrease health and safety risks for workers. Meanwhile, NASA plans to use the robot to assist astronauts during hazardous space missions.
"For GM, this is about safer cars and safer plants," said Alan Taub, GM's vice president for global research and development. "When it comes to future vehicles, the advancements in controls, sensors, and vision technology can be used to develop advanced vehicle safety systems. The partnership's vision is to explore advanced robots working together in harmony with people, building better, higher quality vehicles in a safer, more competitive manufacturing environment."
The idea of using dexterous, human-like robots capable of using their hands to do intricate work is not new to the aerospace industry. The original Robonaut, a humanoid robot designed for space travel, was built by the software, robotics, and simulation division at NASA Johnson in a collaborative effort with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) ten years ago.
In another example of collaboration that has the potential to benefit both Earth and space, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and NASA's John H. Glenn Research Center (Cleveland, OH) announced the development of a Moon tire to transport heavy lunar vehicles over longer distances. This non-pneumatic "spring tire" includes 800 load-bearing springs that lend durability and fuel savings. Some speculate that the design could someday benefit Earth-roving vehicles because it consumes less energy than a conventional tire and will not blow out if punctured, making it suitable for off-road applications on Earth.
The aerospace and automotive engineers at Ford Motor Co. and United Space Alliance (USA) use the same kind of virtual reality animation software to evaluate real-life scenarios involving their vehicles. While USA engineers use the technology to track and characterize launch debris during ascent, Ford uses it to test the overall feel of a vehicle before building a prototype. The two organizations recently pooled their expertise, as USA advised Ford on how to improve response time to create a more realistic environment, while Ford assisted USA with human simulation software for simulation of spacecraft repairs.

- 23 November 2012
- From the section Entertainment & Arts
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures - and for the BBC these are extraordinary times.
That is why BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten approached Tony Hall to be the new BBC director general without going through the normal recruitment process, and why Lord Hall of Birkenhead - to give him his proper title - accepted the offer to return to the corporation, even though he'd not applied for the job earlier in the year.
BBC Newsnight: Entwistle says 'wrong' to air film
- 10 November 2012
- From the section UK
After weeks under fire for not broadcasting Newsnight's report of child abuse allegations against Jimmy Savile, the BBC has now had to apologise for a child abuse investigation it did broadcast.
This second episode is even more damaging than the first.

Press give verdict on Entwistle evidence
- 24 October 2012
- From the section Entertainment & Arts
The director general of the BBC, George Entwistle, has admitted to MPs that the reputation of the BBC has been called into question by the scandal over the revelations that Jimmy Savile sexually abused young girls.
When George Entwistle first volunteered to answer questions from the Culture Media & Sport committee about the Jimmy Savile scandal, it seemed a good idea.
Savile allegations 'will not go away'
- 9 October 2012
- From the section Entertainment & Arts
The BBC director general has apologised to the alleged victims of Sir Jimmy Savile and promised a "comprehensive investigation" once the police have completed their own inquiries.
But if George Entwistle hoped this would kick the issue into the long grass - as some have suggested - he may be out of luck.
The media and the Olympic Games
- 11 September 2012
- From the section Entertainment & Arts
The huge crowds packing the streets for the Olympic and Paralympic parade were the final endorsement - if any were needed - of the triumph of London 2012.
"Thanks a million" trumpeted both the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror, reflecting estimates of the size of the crowd.
How is Paralympics seen by media?
- 1 September 2012
- From the section Entertainment & Arts
The first weekend of the Paralympics is under way. But has it captured the public gaze in the same way as its sibling the Olympic Games?
"Thanks for the warm-up" proclaimed Channel 4 in a much-applauded advertising campaign, the day the Olympics ended. Its ads positioned Paralympic competitors as "superhumans", suggesting the achievements to come would be even more inspiring than those at the earlier Games.

Design considerations
Recommended shaft and housing fits
Accuracy of seats and abutments
If a super-precision axial-radial cylindrical roller bearing is to obtain a high degree of running accuracy and low operating temperature, its associated components must be manufactured to similar levels of precision.
The recommended shaft and housing diameter tolerances, relative to the bearing bore and outside diameter tolerances result in a transition fit, tending towards clearance. In some cases, however, an interference fit may result for either the bearing inner or outer ring. When this occurs, preload on the radial roller set will increase, as will contact stresses, friction and frictional heat.
To optimize operating conditions and running accuracy in applications where there is inner ring rotation, the fit between the shaft and inner ring should be a loose fit that is as close to zero as possible. A near-zero loose fit should be applied to the outer ring and housing when the outer ring rotates.
To help obtain a near-zero loose fit on a shaft, SKF supplies axial-radial cylindrical roller bearings with an inspection report. The report includes the measured deviation from nominal of the inner ring bore diameter. It also includes the measured deviation from nominal of the bearing height and measured running accuracy.
Attachment bolt holes
Axial-radial cylindrical roller bearings require threaded holes for attachment bolts in the shaft and housing. Details about spacing and thread sizes are listed in the product table. At the position of retaining bolts and removal threads, no attachment bolt holes are required.
Bearing NRT 80 A should be fixed with 12 attachment bolts each in the inner and outer ring. For this bearing, the retaining bolts and removal threads are positioned between the attachment bolt holes, evenly spaced at 120°.

The GLA.
Grow up. Your way.
Catches the eye. And holds it.
Follow new roads, off the beaten track, out in to the unknown terrain. When it comes to curiosity and the spirit of adventure, the new GLA is a genuine off-roader. On the other hand the waistline trim strip and load sill guard in chrome conveys a dash of attitude. The bumper features the twin-pipe exhaust system with chrome-plated tailpipe trim elements integrated in it, which reinforces the dynamism of the new GLA. The front bumper and typical SUV type rear bumper comes with a simulated underride guard in silver chrome: to be seen and admired.
Letting go. But staying connected.
Climb into the new GLA and just head off: to where it's quiet. To where you can hear the murmur of the sea and the call of the mountain. Avoid the traffic jams, courtesy of the optional realtime navigation system, and let the sophisticated driving assistance systems take the strain out of driving. Revel in the solitude, yet share it with everyone – yes, even this is possible: state of the art connectivity services, together with many purpose designed apps, can connect you as you wish with your whole world.
Space for loads
Whether it's a shopping spree or the voyage of a lifetime – the new GLA has everything on board that you need for your next expedition. As just one option, you can open the load compartment at the touch of a button or with a kicking movement, making loading up child's play.
