Last week, one of SAC's family members was sent an urgent email from his Regions bank. At least, that's what it looked like. The email had the bank's logo at the top of it, a professional looking signature at the bottom and the sender email address seemed to be legitimate.
The email itself though was bizarre.
It alerted its recipient that Regions bank was updating their clients' accounts. Any accounts that were not updated would be shut down. But never fear! All the client would have to do is fill out this simple form and email it back to the bank and nothing bad would ever happen to them.
The form asked for basic pieces of PII (Personally Identifiable Information): First name, Last name, Address and Email. But then it went on to ask for a Social Security number and a bank account number. This was a major red flag. Banks should never ask for this kind of information via email. They care about your privacy and would not ask you to put yourself at risk in such a careless way.
So what did our wise family member do?
It took the bank teller all of thirty seconds to conclude that the email was, in fact, not from Regions. It was a scam. The teller asked that the email be forwarded to her so she could report it properly.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you think before you click!

31 Mar Paltrow & Martin Uncouple and Co-parent
With Gweneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announcing that they are separating after 10 years of marriage, they raise the topic of 'uncoupling' and 'co-parenting.' Paltrow and Martin explain via her Goop website that they "planned to "consciously uncouple" and "co-parent" their children."
Uncoupling and co-parenting are concepts not reserved for celebrities, but apply to all parents with children who are going through separation and/or divorce. It is vital for the benefit of their children that separating parents learn new skills and techniques required to separate and thereafter parent their children apart. At Mediation & Counselling NI we provide advice to separating couples and offer mediation to help couples uncouple and co-parent.

The summer months can be difficult for those who are grieving. While the cool air of fall and winter lend themselves to quiet evenings in, spring and summer do just the opposite. The warm weather encourages social outings, outdoor activities, and special vacations. For those who are grieving, this heightened expectation of interaction can be rather intimidating. However, there are ways to cope with the summer months, and even leverage the warm weather (and maybe even a vacation or two!) to help you progress along your grief journey. Keep reading to learn more.
- Go outside
It's amazing what a little vitamin D can do for the body and the soul. It's been proven that just a few minutes of sunlight a day can drastically impact a person's energy, outlook, and general health. Vitamin D has also been proven to lower stress levels. So while it may be tempting to stay indoors, try to soak up some sun for at least ten minutes a day, even if that means just sitting on your front stoop or walking around your backyard.
- Travel
For some, the idea of planning a trip may be incredibly overwhelming following the death of a loved one. However, taking a vacation, regardless of how grandiose or modest it may be, can be extremely beneficial for those struggling with grief. Traveling to new places provides a fresh perspective, and seeing the world on a larger scale can help fight feelings of isolation one may feel while grieving. It shows you that there is a world outside of your grief—one that is still full of new opportunities and joys!
- Enjoy yourself
One of the hardest things many people struggle with while grieving is learning how to be joyful again. Some people may feel guilty for being happy or enjoying themselves following the death of a loved one. While these feelings may be hard to overcome, simply ask yourself "If our positions were reversed, wouldn't I want my loved one to enjoy life again?" So let the warmer weather naturally uplift your mood and simply allow yourself to enjoy life. Take part in your favorite summer activities. If there are emotional memories attached to those activities, then try to explore and find new things that you can enjoy. Enjoying yourself also means you should take care of yourself. Take time to do the activities you enjoy, and turn away from those you don't. Grief is an exhausting journey, so learn what your limits are and how much you can handle on a given day.
- Honor your loved one
Many people believe that the best way to conquer grief is to push memories and thoughts of their loved one to the wayside, but this simply isn't true. Healthy grieving involves remembering and honoring your loved one, the life they lived, and the memories you shared together. Whether you're traveling this summer or staying close to home, try to find a way to honor your loved one. Maybe it's visiting their favorite vacation spot, or traveling to place they always wanted to visit. It may be as simple as preparing their favorite summer meal, or doing their favorite activity. Another simple way to honor your loved one is to thank God for the memories you shared and spend some time in quiet reflection in His presence. You'll find that Christ will always bring wisdom and comfort.
If you're in need of some extra support this summer, please join us for one of our Grief Support groups. Learn more at https://clecem.org/Information/Bereavement.aspx.

The LG G Flex is a pretty evolutionary device. Featuring a curved OLED display and a solid internal hardware, the smartphone can pretty much sell on its own. However, it's customary for manufacturers to spend on advertisements to promote their device and LG did the same with the G Flex.
However, in an attempt to show off the "most human phone ever" LG has managed to come up with one of the creepiest smartphone commercials we have seen in a long time, possibly ever. The videos starts off pretty normally where the birthday boy is gifted a LG G Flex. But soon after he opens the box, a talking hand appears, representing his friend who is away on a trip.
LG probably didn't expect the commercial to backfire this badly as the entire social media is going crazy about this horrendous promotion of a very good smartphone. Strangely, the G Flex makes an appearance for a very short time in the video, which is quite odd as that's what the commercial is actually about. This certainly doesn't look like money well spent by the Korean manufacturer.
Have a look at the video yourself and let us know what you think.

North Channel - Lake Huron
North Channel - Lake Huron
Fellow sailors,
I plan to spend the second and third weeks of July in the North Channel/Georgian Bay on Lake Huron aboard my H40.5 CATALYST. Those of you that have cruised the area may be able to help me prep for the trip. A few points I am trying to work out:
1) I''d love to borrow or rent a C-Map of area; Lake Huron. We have a Raymarine RC320 chart plotter, it takes the small and thin black rectangle cards (I think all CMAP cards are like this).
2) We draw 5'' and would like to anchor as well as dock at a few marinas along the way. We''re coming from Toledo Beach Marina in La Salle, MI/Lake Erie. I know of nice places from my marina to Port Huron, but north of there is a mystery to me.
3) Where should we go? I''ve seen a few pictures of nice, pristine areas in the N.C, but don''t know where they are. Any good web sites?
4) Is anyone heading that way? I know it''s a popular time to cruise up there. We''d like to find another boat to go with.
5) From Port Huron, is there a preferred route? Any reason not to sail through the night? From prior experience, how many days from Port Huron until I get to see some rugged but beautiful places?
6) Anyone know of cheap mooring around Port Huron (say within 40 miles of there)? We''re thinking of staging the boat there a week before we take the trip, so we can enjoy more time in the N.C, rather than transiting.
Feel free to reply here or email us at [email protected]
Thanks yall!
Fair Winds,
s/v CATALYST
North Channel - Lake Huron
We did the trip last July/August in a C-38 drawing 5 feet.
1.) Can''t help. We used paper charts, compass and knotlog.
2/5.) We went up the Canadian side from Port Huron. We stopped in Goderich (50-60 miles), Kinkardine (25 miles), Port Elgin (25 miles), Tobermory (60 miles), Club Island (25 miles), Kilarney (25 miles) through Little Current to our first stop in the North Channel, Russell Island (I think). We could have saved a day by skipping Kinkardine, but we got a late start that morning. It turned out to be worth it though, just to watch the bagpiper play from the lighthouse at sunset. We could have saved another day skipping Club Island, but we really enjoyed that stop too. We came back the same route. We stayed at a marina at all of the above stops except Tobermory and Club Island. Once we were in the North Channel, we only anchored.
I''ve been told that if you go straight up the lake From Port Huron to Tobermory, you can do it in 24 hours. FYI, there is really no-where to go in between Port Elgin and Tobermory.
There are also some places before Goderich.
3.) Everywhere up there is beautiful. We especially liked Beardrop Harbor, staying there two nights. We took the dingh outside and had a picnic lunch on one of the smaller islands in Whalesback Channel. We picked blueberrys in the Benjamin islands and had fresh blueberry pancakes for two days. Store bought blueberries don''t even come close to these! I HIGHLY recommend getting the "Ports" guide for the North Channel. It''s around $40.00, but well worth it. Also, if you head up the Canadian side and stop in Tobermory, The Chart Shop (yes, that''s what it is called) has all of the charts you will need, and more. They also have the Ports guide there (I got mine a West Marine, but it was not the latest, there was a new version last year. I don''t know if they come out with a new version every year or not).
4.) Nope, we''re doing Erie this year. I hope it won''t be too much of a let-down after the North Channel.
6.) Check some of the marinas on the Canadian side, they may have mooring fields.
This is a very short summary. If you would like some more info, send me an e-mail at rduff AT visteon DOT com
North Channel - Lake Huron
There is a good cruising guide of the North Channel by Ralph Folsom. It is a re-write of Marjorie Cahn Braxer''s "Well-Favored Passage" and has a lot of detail on the NC from history, towns, restaurants, provisioning, anchorages, etc.. An interesting read.
North Channel - Lake Huron
We cruised the North Channel for a few summers in the early 90''s (we sailed further south in 1993 and have been cruising the Bahamas and Northwest Caribbean). Our favorite town was Killarney. Our favorite anchorage was Covered Portage Cove and our favorite sailing was through the Whalesback. We still think the North Channel has some of the pretties anchorages of anywhere we''ve been, although we do like the warmer water down here! If you get over to Georgian Bay, be sure to go to Bad River. A great place to explore.
North Channel - Lake Huron
I am also looking for info on cruising the North Channel. I have the Ports O Call book but that lists mainly marinas. I am looking for anchoring ifo. I will be entering the Channel at the Detour passage coming from the west and will have only a few days to explore. Any sugestions would be welcome. Also looking for any guide that migh contain ifo on good anchorages on the west end.
North Channel - Lake Huron
You want the "Ports" cruising guide for the north channel, not Ports o'' call. The ports guide lists almost all of the different anchorages and islands up there. It is great for gunkholing, showing the best routes between rocks, shoals, and shore.
North Channel - Lake Huron
Thanks! Looks like what I was looking for. I found it online.
I've been up & down both the Michigan & Canadain sides. Lots of choices to stop. You'll only be limited by weather & your own sailing style. If you draw only 5' you'll be fine about anywhere. There are no mooring fields that I have found, but tons of good anchorages in the NC. If you really want to research NC sites Google/join the Great Lakes Cruising Club ($100 +/-) & get all their wonderful harbor reports (now on-line). They give great detail for ports and anchorages --- even down which grocery stores will give you you & your purchases a ride back to the dock. If you are going from Lake Erie plan on either 4 weeks or hammering up & then back home. Eat the white fish!

(CNSNews.com) - Richard Ellis, vice president of communications for McDonald's USA, recently joined the board of directors of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) to promote the business of McDonald's to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community - a step the conservative American Family Association (AFA) opposes.
The AFA wants Ellis to resign from the board and for McDonald's to withdraw as a "corporate partner" from the NGLCC, in part because they think the organization will lobby for homosexual marriage.
"McDonalds is thrilled to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce team and ready to get to work," Ellis said in a press statement released by the NGLCC in March.
"McDonalds shares the NGLCC's passion for business growth and development within the LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] community and I look forward to playing a role in moving these important initiatives forward," he said.
The NGLCC claims to represent 1.4 million LGBT- owned businesses in the United States. McDonald's, along with a number of other companies, including IBM, Wells Fargo, Coors Light, and Intel, is listed on the NGLCC Web site as a corporate partner.
Randy Sharp, director of special projects for the AFA, told Cybercast News Service that it is not necessary for McDonald's to maintain membership in such a group for the company to deal fairly and dispassionately with its homosexual customers and employees.
"By joining the NGLCC, they [McDonald's] are endorsing a lifestyle we believe many of their customers would oppose," said Sharp. "They should just remain neutral. They should just say we are not going to get involved. America is finding out that when you choose sides, you are going to offend a large contingent of your customers.
Once corporate America gets involved in promoting homosexuality, it's just a matter of time until it starts endorsing same-sex marriage," said Sharp. "We are calling on McDonald's to resign their position on the board of directors and not to renew their membership next year."
The NGLCC Web site does not say anything specifically about endorsing homosexual marriage, but it does have an "advocacy" component that, in part, reads: "Advocacy is a top priority for the NGLCC, whether it's lobbying Congress or the White House, commenting on regulatory issues or working with leaders throughout America's top corporations to bring about equality, opportunity and change. ... NGLCC plays an important role in influencing legislation on a national level."
Sharp told Cybercast News Service that the AFA thinks part of the agenda of the NGLCC is to help promote homosexuality throughout America.
"It's a stepping stone for homosexual activists to get their feet in the door and begin promoting their agenda," said Sharp. "We know the number one goal of homosexual activists right now is to pass legislation and press for same-sex marriage. We believe marriage should only be between one man and woman."
Neither the NGLCC nor McDonald's chose to comment on this story despite numerous requests from Cybercast New Service.

Expo CANACINTRA ´14
CANACINTRA holds an annual event called ¨La Expo Canacintra", in 2014 I had the opportunity to collaborate with the Suite agency on this project.
We´re inspired by 4 very important pillars: family, fun, hot air balloon and the mesh of the company logo, conceptualizing with all this a friendly and very readable logo.
In Mexico, saying "Arriba" is synonymous with encouragement, so the client wanted to be on top of his competition.
That's why we chose the aerostatic glogo as the main element and the tagline "Arriba la Expo"

*Background info update:* Lake Chelan is the largest natural lake in Washington. It's a narrow 50 mile lake bordered by the Cascade and Chelan Mountains, and it fills a deep underwater gorge, 1486 ft. at the deepest point. Stehekin is at the far northeastern point of the lake. At the other end of the lake sits the town of Chelan where you can park in the overnight lot and take one of several ferries uplake. This is the most common method of getting to Stehekin. On our uplake journey we took the Lady of the Lake II, a 4 1/2 hour trip which included multiple stops along the way to drop off hikers , including 70 Boy Scouts. On the return trip we took the Lady Express and got back down to Chelan in 2 1/2 hours.
Linking to Weekend Reflections and Skywatch Friday.

When looking for a new beauty product, word of mouth and reviews often count for more than a fancy advertising campaign. This is why we thought we would collate the Beauty Resource team's go-to beauty products – starting with skincare.
So, take a look at our recommendations and get ready to treat your skin on payday…
Morning cleanser – Aesop parsley seed facial cleanser (£25)
Ideal for combination skin, this cleanser is gentle and clarifying. The reason we keep going back to this product however is the lactic acid which provides a gentle exfoliation, helping skin to regenerate. The trick is to leave it on for a few minutes to work its magic (we apply, brush our teeth and then wash off).
Night-time cleanser – Liz Earle cleanse and polish (£14)
This cleanser is a cult favourite for a reason. We love it because it's gentle yet effective. The scent and hot cloth removal also makes the act of taking off your make-up like a mini facial. We follow up with a swipe of Micellar water for a really thorough cleanse.
Face mask – Superfacialist rose intense moisture mask (£6.99)
This mask is perfect for those times when your skin is feeling dried out and dehydrated. The gentle formula boosts moisture levels, but doesn't leave the skin feeling oily or greasy so is great for all skin types.
Oil – Caudalie polyphenol C15 overnight detox oil (£29)
Helping to regenerate and detoxify the skin overnight, this dry oil is perfect for those times when you overindulge on the naughty stuff (we're looking at you wine and pizza!). The grapeseed oil acts as an antioxidant while healing essential oils purify and soothe congested complexions.
Body scrub – Sanctuary Spa ultimate salt scrub (£11.50)
Exfoliating and moisturising in one step, we love this multipurpose scrub. The salt promotes skin renewal while the jojoba, coconut and almond oils scent and nourish the skin.

Thanks, Dice. When I posted these to my Facebook I put emphasis on the sex change part in the titles. As if a school teacher committing suicide wasn't enough, they had to make a freak show out of it.
Anyone looking for easy money?
so yoichi wada was fired from squenix.... i'm curious to hear the rpgfan message board take on it.
Nah, I doubt a loss of $50 million is going to be met with apathy.No good change? That would be probable.
Orth also got into a minor spat with BioWare employee Manheer Heir. "Sorry, I don't get the drama around having an 'always-on' console," he said. "Every device is now 'always-on'. #dealwithit"

Charles Margolis: – R.R. Donnelley: high-yield junk bonds. – Those of you looking for high yeild might want to consider bonds from R.R. Donnelley.

WSJ: – Bond snags for small towns. – The swelling floodwaters caused by Hurricane Sandy prevented Ship Bottom on New Jersey's Long Beach Island from paying $34,000 in interest due Nov. 1. The issue raises questions about the antiquated methods smaller boroughs use to pay bond holders, which can also result in larger investors avoiding smaller issuers altogether.
@AdaptToReality BTW if Fed would stop buying so much fixed income bond yields would rise and pension funds could get some return.

Some Odd Reason: The Generic Song
This is the track that never made it onto my debut album for my one-man band named "Yvan the Terrible's Some Odd Reason". I played all the instruments myself (including the drums — which were painstakingly programmed using an Alesis HR-16 drum machine). The song never made it on to the album because I couldn't get anyone to do the vocals for me, and I wanted to finish the project before I went away to college.

The city of Winchester, Virginia, and the surrounding area were the site of numerous fights during the American Civil War as both contending armies strove to control that portion of the Shenandoah Valley.
Ties between Winchester and the American Civil War are considered to begin with the involvement of the city in the suppression of John Brown's Raid in 1859. Colonel Lewis Tilghman Moore of the 31st Virginia Militia of Frederick County assembled 150 militia men from the Marion Guards, the Morgan Continentals, and the Mount Vernon Riflemen in October, 1859 and moved them by the Winchester and Potomac Railroad to Harper's Ferry. Ironically, the first death of Brown's raid was Heyward Shepard, a free black from Winchester, who was buried in Winchester with full military honors.[1] Following the raid, Judge Richard Parker of Winchester presided over the trial of John Brown, sentencing the insurrectionist to hang. One of the sons of John Brown and two other raiders (John Anthony Copeland and Shields Green) were later examined at the Winchester Medical College in Winchester as cadavers for medical training, an action for which the Federals later burned the College to the ground.
Neither Winchester, nor the commonwealth of Virginia were particularly fond of secession from the Union. Virginia was not a cotton state, and the Valley's economy and culture centered around small family owned farms producing wheat and cattle. However pro-Union sentiment was often conditional. Historian William A. Link writes:
On December 14, Robert Young Conrad, subsequently the Unionists' leader at the Richmond secession convention, composed resolutions adopted by a Frederick County meeting in Winchester. Although Northerners had launched an "insane war"against southern institutions, Frederick citizens regarded slavery "as perfectly consistent with civilization, humanity, and piety." Virginians would not "tamely submit" to any limitations of their rights. The resolutions appealed to the North to repeal obnoxious laws regarding fugitive slaves and to suppress abolitionists' activities that led "to invasions of other States, seducing slaves to abscond, harboring runaways, and otherwise disturbing the peace of sister States."[2]
At the same time, the resolutions renounced secession, promised "unfaltering attachment" to the Union, proposed boycotting imports from some northern states, and called for, if necessary, a national convention to resolve the sectional issues.[3]
In January 1861, Virginia's Governor John Letcher and the State Assembly called for and sponsored the Peace Conference of 1861 which ended up failing in its purpose to get the U.S. Congress to review an agreed upon compromise. Virginia ran an election on February 4, 1861 to elect delegates to a special state convention to deliberate on the question of secession. Of four candidates (two pro-union and two pro-secession), Winchester and Frederick County elected two pro-union delegates:
Two thirds of the votes went to the two pro-union candidates, revealing the strong union sentiments of the town and county at that time.[4] On April 4, the convention voted, and secession was defeated by a vote of 88 to 45. However, later that month the firing upon Fort Sumter prompted newly elected President Abraham Lincoln to issue a call for 75,000 volunteers, including a call to Virginia to provide troops. Governor Letcher responded on April 15 on behalf of the state refusing Lincoln's request. In response, the convention passed an ordinance of secession on April 17 by a vote of 88 to 55, which was ratified by popular vote on May 23, 1861. Immediately after this vote, Governor Letcher ordered the capture of the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry, and Winchester companies of the Virginia militia were among the first to arrive, under the command of Colonel Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson.[5]
Located at the north end of the lower Shenandoah Valley at a latitude north of the Federal capital city of Washington, D.C., Winchester's location was the hub of key roadways linking the Ohio Valley to the eastern United States coastal plains. Sitting just south of the Potomac River, Winchester lay on the only route between the east and western United States with direct connections to Washington, D.C. Passing through or nearby Winchester are these major transportation and communications routes:
Winchester was a base of operations for several Confederate incursions into the Northern United States, at times threatening the Federal capital city. Winchester also served as a central point for troops conducting raids against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and turnpike and telegraph paths along those routes and the Potomac River Valley. For instance, in 1861, Col. Thomas J. Jackson removed 56 locomotives and 386 railroad cars, along with miles of track, from the B&O Railroad and ultimately closed down the B&O's main line for ten months. Much of the effort to transport this equipment by horse and carriage centered in Winchester.
Winchester was a key strategic position for the Confederate States Army during the war. It was an important operational objective in Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's and Jackson's defense of the Shenandoah Valley in 1861, Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign of 1862, the Gettysburg Campaign of 1863, and the Valley Campaigns of 1864.
Including minor cavalry raids and patrols, and occasional reconnaissances by various forces, it is claimed that Winchester changed hands as many as 72 times during the course of the war, and 13 times in one day. Battles raged all along Main Street at different points in the war. Both Union General Sheridan and Stonewall Jackson located their headquarters just one block apart at various times. During the war, Winchester suffered greatly under five major periods of Union occupation:
During the Federal occupation of Winchester, many residents were exiled from town, personal property was stolen, citizens rendering medical assistance to wounded soldiers were shot and murdered, homes were illegally stolen, occupied and destroyed, a medical school was burned down, and the citizens of the Commonwealth were not allowed to vote on re-admittance to the Union under the reign of Major General Schofield.
MajGen. Banks primary objective in the Shenandoah Valley from 1861 to 1862 was to defend Washington, D.C. from possible attack by the Confederates, as well as defend and protect the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. During the winter of 1861, Banks headquartered his troops of the V Corps in Frederick, Maryland. A pontoon bridge crossing the Potomac River was completed in early March 1862, allowing Banks to begin crossing and marching up the Shenandoah Valley with superior forces against Major General Stonewall Jackson. MajGen. Jackson evacuated Winchester, retreating up the Valley. During the summer of 1862, two major battles were fought in Winchester between Banks and Jackson:
During Banks first occupation from (March May 12 to 25, 1862:
Following the First Battle of Winchester, Banks retreated down the Valley. Shortly thereafter, by May 31, MajGen. Jackson departed Winchester up the Valley and Banks re-entered the town, occupying it with forces from June 4 to September 2, 1862)
Winchester was occupied by the 2nd Division of the VIII Corps of the Federal Middle Department from December 24, 1862 until the Second Battle of Winchester on June 15, 1863. The primary objective of the Federals during this period was to protect and defend military approaches to Washington, D.C. and especially to guard and defend the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Confederate Raids. Major General Robert Milroy, commander of the 2nd Division, entered in force at the beginning of the year in 1863, coincidental with the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation. Milroy, a radical abolitionist, was intent on using Winchester as a place to enforce this new proclamation in the strictest and harshest terms possible. MajGen. Milroy is most famous for his edict that:
Milroy was noted for his harsh treatment of women. When Milroy felt that a lady had "insulted Gen Closeret ... her fine mansion was immediately taken for a hospital".[7] In one particularly disturbing incident, on April 4, MajGen. Milroy arrested Mrs. Logan on charges of possessing contraband, and had her and her daughters escorted to the outskirts of town, without time to even gather medicine for one ill daughter, and "exiled" from Winchester. He then moved his wife, Mrs. Milroy, into what was one of the finest and most exquisite homes in Winchester. Ladies of Winchester eventually took to walking in the middle of the streets rather than risk accidentally brushing up against Federal soldiers.[8] Milroy summarized his sentiments toward the ladies in town by noting that:
But the ladies of Winchester had brought some of this harsh treatment on themselves. From the very first Union occupation, they had treated Federal soldiers despicably. Going to church one Sunday, one woman accidentally dropped her Bible or prayer brook. A passing soldier immediately picked it up and offered it to her. She glared at him hatefully and refused it. When the Union army was retreating through town during the First Battle of Winchester, the civilians, but most particularly the women, uttered the vilest language, hurling at them anything that came to hand. Then they began shooting from their windows or yards. Any of a number of soldiers were killed by women firing at them. One cavalryman, wounded in the foot, sat on a doorstep. The woman of the house opened the door and asked him if he could walk. "No," he told her. Could she see his pistol she asked. Innocently, he gave it to her. She put it to his head and told him to get off her doorstep. As he tried to limp away, she shot him in the back. That night, several young soldiers took a vow to punish the women of Winchester for murdering their comrades when they returned. This is the context within which Milroy was operating.
Most notably, Milroy was feared for his rash desire to execute Virginians, and his reputation for this from previous Alleghany campaigning precede him, striking great trepidation in the town, as Milroy set up his tribunals, without constitutional authority, and sentenced townsfolk to execution by firing squad.[10]
Many of the local blacks freed in January 1863 under the Emancipation Proclamation fled the area, presumably fearing reconquest by the Confederates (as in fact happened later in the year).[11]
Major General Philip Sheridan rampaged up the Valley from Winchester and destroyed "2,000 barns filled with grain and implements, not to mention other outbuildings, 70 mills filled with wheat and flour" and "numerous head of livestock," according to the Official Records. Not mentioned in the official records are the many private homes that were destroyed, and innocent women and children injured and killed. Unsurprisingly, several Winchester Unionists were noted for changing their sympathies after these occupations. At the end of 1864, Maj. Gen. Sheridan stated that "The crow that flies over the Valley of Virginia must henceforth carry his rations with him".
Winchester and Frederick County fielded five infantry companies, six cavalry companies and one artillery battery, as well as two regiments of militia. These units were either assigned to or operated under the auspices of what was ultimately called the Army of Northern Virginia which was also known as the Department of Northern Virginia:
In spite of Winchester's wartime hardships, a few residents made great contributions to the Confederate cause, such as Dr. Hunter McGuire, Chief Surgeon of the Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, who laid foundations for the future Geneva conventions regarding the treatment of medical doctors during warfare. Winchester served as a major center for Confederate medical operations, particularly after the Battle of Sharpsburg in 1862 and the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, and set the stage for advancements in the practice of medicine, internationally and during combat operations.
Many citizens of Winchester recorded diaries of events during the war. The Federal Secretary of War Edwin Stanton summarized his impression of Winchester after visiting there by noting that "the men are all in the army" and "the women are the devil", while Maj. Gen. Milroy said that "Hell is not full enough ... There must be more of these Secession women of Winchester to fill it up." Noted diary accounts include:
Among those who took part in battles at Winchester were future U.S. presidents McKinley and Hayes, who both were officers in the Union IX Corps.
Winchester was heavily fortified by forts and lunettes circumferencing the town, as well as along the outlying turnpike routes entering town . Within Winchester Milroy constructed or improved upon a total of ten defensive fortifications numbered Battery No. 1 through Battery No. 10, making improvements on many pre-existing forts and fortifications left by prior Confederate and Federal occupations. The fortifications were linked in places with roads and trenches.
Today, Winchester provides a wealth of exploration and tourism for Civil War enthusiasts. Jubal Early Drive snakes around south of downtown Winchester, along the central location for many of the battles.
Civil War Tourism Sites:
The modern flag of the city of Winchester closely resembles the first congressionally proposed national flag of the Confederate States of America. Both flags were composed of a field of red, upon which a saltire (Saint Andrew's Cross) is laid, with a heraldic shield in the center of the flag. The primary differences in the flags are the addition of a center blue saltire, and an English "Norman" lion instead of a 13-pointed star on the shield in the Winchester flag.

Phone the RSPCA on their national animal cruelty helpline number 0300 1234 999 to report an animal at risk or to ask for the contact details of a Hampshire branch of the UK charity.
Profile of the RSPCA
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, known as the RSPCA, is a charity that strives to protect both wildlife and domesticated pets throughout the United Kingdom. The RSPCA aids animals in a manner of ways from housing rescued animals, to running charity shops and even lobbying the UK government in the way of animal welfare legislation.
National Animal Cruelty Helpline – 0300 1234 999
You should phone the RSPCA national animal cruelty emergency contact number 0300 1234 999 whether you are in Hampshire or not, so that a rescue volunteer can attend to the distressed animal as soon as possible. Callers should leave note of the location that any crime is taking place so that an inspector from the nearest Hampshire rescue centre can handle the case accordingly. Furthermore, if you see an injured animal on the side of the road then it is advised that you do not move it but call the national RSPCA helpline so that they can send out a rescue volunteer to assist the situation.
Solent Branch (Hampshire) – 01329 667 541
Call the Solent Branch of the RSPCA on their Hampshire contact number 01329 667 541 to discuss the process of rehoming a pet. For instance callers can discuss the best time to view the rescue cats, dogs and even horses available at the Hampshire adoption centre. Moreover, you can use this number to check your eligibility for adoption as sometimes the RSPCA will refuse to rehouse animals in certain environments, such as if you live with young children or by a main road. This number is therefore ideal for anyone who requires advice before adopting a pet anywhere in the county of Hampshire.
Furthermore, callers should use this number to discuss their donations to the charity. For instance, you can make a cash donation to thank the Solent RSPCA staff who have provided veterinary assistance to an injured pet or even support the charity with a monthly direct debit from your bank account.
Information about RSPCA Call Costs
All of the RSPCA helplines use a local rate contact number meaning that you will only be charged the same standard per-minute rate as any other geographic call made from a UK mobile or landline telephone. However, you may be able to contact a member of RSPCA for free if you are using up any inclusive free minutes that have been offered by your service provider as part of your monthly tariff agreement.

Health Net Stands Behind Fake Tweets
Back in September we shared a story about health provider Health Net which used fake tweets to promote its services. We called the work "a juvenile marketing move and yet another example of testimonials gone wrong."
Now, the brand is doing a bit of back peddling presenting us with what they claim to be the real people behind the Twitter accounts they used in the campaign. The move is laughable as the accounts - NonStopMom2, HealthNut_2 and Biz_Guy1 - have just one or two tweets, all of which read "Thank you for your interest, learn more here" with a link that points to three "testimonials" from the "owners" of these Twitter accounts.

Kelley Boyd, LMT
Kelley Boyd is a NYS licensed Massage Therapist. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences. Kelley integrates western techniques, including myofascial release, trigger point and Swedish massage, with eastern techniques, including shiatsu and Tui Na, to create a unique healing experience for each individual. She has worked with triathletes, dancers, cancer patients, and those suffering from fibromyalgia and Parkinson's. Kelley recently had the pleasure of volunteering with Global Healthworks Foundation on a medical mission to Chichicastanengo, Guatemala. While on the mission the team, composed of acupuncturists, massage therapists and reiki practitioners, provided more than 1,500 treatments in five days.
Kelley was first introduced to the benefits of massage therapy as a dancer with the American Ballet Theatre where she was a member of the corps de ballet for thirteen seasons. As a young professional dancer, she suffered a fracture to the fifth metatarsal of her left foot. After surgery to put the bone back together, she went through months of physical therapy, which also included massage sessions, to literally get her back on her toes. This experience led to her desire to pursue manual therapy and has given her a greater understanding and empathy for what patients go through as they rehabilitate their bodies to get back to doing what they love.
In her free time Kelley enjoys spending time with friends and family, traveling, going to the theater and enjoying the many culinary delights of NYC.
That was nice of you! SPEAR thanks you, and welcomes your friend. We know their life can't wait, so our scheduling and insurance concierges will email or call them right back to schedule their appointment.
If you want to be even nicer, you can help them prepare for their first visit by reading our New Patient FAQs

One of the practices we encourage search and rescue personnel to adopt is to use electrical kit that all uses the same size of battery – AA.
By doing this you only need to carry a few spare batteries.
I used to use two small plastic bags for the rechargeable AA batteries I carry, one for fully charged and the other for spent batteries. Additionally, packed in my waterproof box containing my emergency first-aid kit, was a spare set of Lithium AA disposable batteries, still in their original packaging – my failsafe.
Now because of some Law of Physics to do with a guy called Sod, my batteries invariably ran-out at the most awkward times:
- If it was my head torch then fumbling around using the low light left in the torch searching for my spare batteries or worse still, in no light determining which bag contained the fully charged batteries and which the discharged.
- My rucksack gets some pretty heavy use and as a consequence my kit inside is knocked about, and frequently the batteries either got dented on the outside or would end up with their terminals touching other batteries and thereby self-discharging.
So we purchased these Powerpax Storacell battery caddies, made out of tough polypropylene, and have trialled them on lots of trips, in addition, we have used them on our MR training and call-outs.
Firstly they hold batteries securely in place with a unique locking feature, and secondly, they protect the entire battery plus the terminals of the batteries at both ends. These features in themselves would be enough to prompt me to recommend them.
I also adopted the simple technique of placing all the charged batteries with the anode at the top and spent batteries the other way up so you could easily identify which were which.
But the really good thing about the glow in the dark version was something frankly I thought was marketing speak, it doesn't just glow it SHINES. Whatever technology is used to give them their luminosity, it is the best I have ever come across.

Social media is one of the most unique and direct ways to reach your consumers. Initially, many businesses entered the social media arena to only disseminate information, quickly learning that was not going to cut it. The very essence of social media is to have a conversation, be engaging and, of course, be social!
As brands adopted social media into their strategy, they quickly realized customers were going to use it as a vehicle to reach out for customer complaints. If handled correctly, social media can be an extremely useful customer service tool. If handled poorly, a brand can find itself in hot water.
Comcast, Taco Bell and The Limited have strong and effective customer service strategies in place for social media. However, brands like Subway continue to ignore customer complaints and, in some cases, even compliments.
In a recent example, Subway customer Patrick Balfour found a cockroach in his sub. Balfour chose to initiate contact with Subway through its customer service phone number and regional Twitter account, @SubwayOntario. Eventually, the chain's Twitter handle asked him twice for his contact information but never took the next steps to fix the situation.
Balfour escalated his complaint to @SubwayCanada by responding to its promoted tweet campaign. As Subway continued to ignore him, Balfour kept reaching out for help. Eventually, Subway provided him its customer care number, which Balfour described as a 24-hour voicemail.
Balfour then executed a novel idea – why not promote his own tweet?
This promoted, customer complaint tweet received more than 130 retweets. This would be alarming for any brand. Viral content, especially complaints, can permanently damage a brand. After 11 months, Balfour felt compelled to implement a promoted tweet strategy.
According to PR Daily, Balfour remarked: "It doesn't make sense. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to tell a story that they should want to hear. I don't want money; I don't want subs. All I know is that the way they currently use social media is not doing them any favors."
With multiple news outlets starting to jump on this story, it begs the question if Subway's social media strategy needs an overhaul. After all, the company is completely missing the point of social media and not taking advantage of the true power of these platforms. (Just look at how Pizza Hut used Twitter to come to the rescue of a student who won a basketball shooting contest, but was denied the prize money. Huge PR win!)
In the digital age, it's absolutely essential customers are being heard and respected, within reason. If you're looking for help with customer service through social media, we can help! Email us – or even better – send us a tweet! We can help train your employees and guide your social media strategies before they turn into crisis communications disasters.

A KingCast Moment of Silence on Franconia 5/11 and Notation of former NH AG cum U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte Coverup.
Today is 5/11. When Liko Kenney awoke today 8 years ago he was in a good mood and was having a great day at work, according to Mickey deRham, who saw him that afternoon. He had no idea that he would never make it home after Norman Bruce McKay violated several specific police policies as he Pepper sprayed Liko and bashed his car out of public view, without any specific directive. The rest is a history of coverups by former NH Attorney cum U.S. Senator General Kelly Ayotte, as noted in Casey Sherman's book "Bad Blood: Freedom and Death in the White Mountains, and as more fully detailed herein.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots should be ashamed of themselves. If you haven't heard by now, it was recently discovered that the New England Patriots were in fact deflating footballs of their opposing teams. It was also revealed that Tom Brady had knowledge of the sneaky acts that his team was pulling.
The NFL organization has found clear evidence that the New England Patriots cheated their way to a Super Bowl. However, the Super Bowl did not suffer from any deflated balls, but Tom Brady and his team cheated the entire season. Many people think that Tom Brady should be stripped of his Super Bowl ring, and I happen to agree with these people.
The NFL recently suspended Tom Brady for four games of the new season, and the New England Patriots have also been fined one million dollars. However, I believe that the Super Bowl championship should be stripped away from the New England Patriots as well. They did not earn their victory with honor. If they didn't deflate the balls of the other team, it is highly unlikely that the New England Patriots would have even made it to the Super Bowl. My friends at NexBank and James Dondero agree that Tom Brady should be ashamed of himself, and he should retire from the NFL before he ruins his legacy anymore.

text: How Lottery Winners Celebrate their Jackpot Wins Posted: Monday, 8 May 2017 What's the first thing you would do if you were to find out you'd just won a massive lottery jackpot? Hundreds of people around the world win life-changing lottery prizes every week – so it should come as no surprise that some of these lucky lottery winners celebrate in… surprising… ways. "Sitting in a dark room with a cup of tea" We can guarantee you have never heard of anything more British than this. Ferry worker James Couper, 43, from Inverclyde struck it rich earlier this year in a £4.3 million UK National Lottery draw. Instead of cracking out the champagne or going out and painting the town red, Couper opted for a calmer strain of celebration: "sitting in a dark room with a cup of tea". The lucky winner told local reporters that he was "just casually sitting chatting on [my] lunch break when my workmate came across the Lotto results in the newspaper. Source: The National "I got my ticket out as he read them aloud and was so confused that they were all my numbers. "I thought that he'd gotten a hold of my ticket somehow and knew my numbers, meaning it was all a joke, so I grabbed the newspaper to check it for myself. "When I saw them there in black and white and as clear as day, I just couldn't get my head around it. I was so confused and in utter disbelief. "I was so stunned that I just went home and sat in a dark room with a cup of tea. "I just sat there shaking. I think more tea ended up on the floor than in my mouth." What an image: a shell-shocked millionaire Scotsman spilling tea in a darkened room! We're sure Mr Couper will have enjoyed some livelier celebrations since then. According to the UK National Lottery, over half of UK lottery winners make themselves a cup of tea after they hear the good news. "What would you like for Christmas? You can have anything you want." Prepare to read what could quite possibly be the most heart-warming lottery winner's story of all time! Kevin and Michele Jones of Crewe, England had challenging lives up until their £6.1 million lottery win last year. Kevin, a former bus driver, had worked 12 hour shifts throughout his career to keep the couple financially afloat – so we can only imagine the relief they both felt when they found out they had won the jackpot. Source: Crewe Chronicle As the Jones' big win arrived near Christmas time, the couple decided to celebrate by putting up a beautiful 18-foot Christmas tree in their front garden, complete with baubles decorated with their winning lottery numbers. Mr Jones told reporters: "I'm in a position now where I can say to my family "What would you like for Christmas? You can have anything you want. "In all honesty I don't think they are going to take advantage of that but it's just nice to be in a position to be able to say it." What would you buy for your loved ones next Christmas if you won a multi-million euro lottery jackpot? We've put together some great ideas in our Lottery Winner's Christmas Wishlist. A whole town heads to Benidorm The little Spanish town of Brea de Tajo became one of Europe's richest neighbourhoods last Christmas, when a group of local residents won a € 100 MILLION prize in the world-famous Spanish Christmas lottery. This one-of-a-kind lottery allows groups of people to buy single tickets as a syndicate – you can find out more about it in our article on the world's greatest ever lottery commercials. Source: Daily Express The nine-figure prize was shared between people from throughout the community, leading to celebrations in the streets that lasted well into the next day – and the people of Brea de Tajo didn't stop there. After learning of the astonishing win, the resident responsible for organising the community's bets, Antonia Reyes decided to arrange for the entire town to visit the resort town of Benidorm for what must have been one of the greatest New Year's Eve celebrations of all time. We think this is an incredible example of the power of lotteries to bring people together and enrich communities. Imagine the amazing times the future now has in-store for the people of Brea de Tajo!

The day after the Boston bombing, former Democratic congressman Barney Frank expressed the belief that budget cuts make emergency response, such as that seen in Boston, more difficult. Seems like a pretty rational statement of fact but this comment sent Bill O'Reilly even further over the edge to which he is precariously clinging. As News Hounds Ellen reported, O'Reilly wasted no time in attacking Frank for having "politicized" the Boston bombing. But in the interests of "fair & balanced," O'Reilly brought Frank on The Factor so he could defend his position or, as noted on Fox News Insider, "take Barney Frank to task." And in so doing, O'Reilly scolded Frank about not waiting longer before making a political statement. But funny, O'Reilly didn't apply the same standard to a Republican sitting member of congress who did just what O'Reilly accused Frank of doing! What????
When congressman Steve King said, less than 24 hours after the bombing, that immigration reform shouldn't be rushed because the perpetrators might be foreign nationals and possibly Saudi, O'Reilly lightly chided him in the name of "fair & balanced." On the other hand, he attacked Frank in three segments. Oh, right, King is a conservative Republican and Frank is a liberal Democrat. Silly me!!!!!
