There's Something Strange in the Neighborhood. Well, Really, Just This Apartment.
And, yes, I can only assume Haunted Apartment is venturing deep into shark jumping territory, blog-wise, but hear me out.
Do you perchance recall, a few months back, when I recounted the chilling tale of how Lo's musical toy ball—which had been clearly placed in a very specific spot in the living room-—mysteriously not only turned itself on, but FOUND ITS WAY INTO THE BABY'S CRIB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
As I indicated at the time, I believed the explanation to be that this could have been the work of a malevolent baby demon, or some sort of murderous clown, but PROBABLY a sleepwalking toddler. You know, Occam's Razor, and all that. Well, sucks to your Razor, Occam. WE ARE ALL HAUNTED AND SHIT UP IN THIS PIECE.
Ever since that fateful winter night, we've noticed an increased incidence of, shall we say, strange occurrences involving the children's toys. Mechanical wind-up train slowly rolling itself out of the room containing my two SLEEPING kids? Check. Activity table commencing enthusiastic rendition of the Alphabet Song in the living room while we are ALL in the kitchen? Check. Children's books randomly appearing in strange places other than their shelves? CHECK.
Do you think I'm kidding? Exaggerating, perhaps? I assure you I am not. Why, allow me to share with you the discussion J and I just had moments ago:
J: What are you writing about?
Me: I'm telling everyone about the ghost.
J: Whatever, just don't anger it.
Please note that he's normally the level-headed one in this relationship.
We really can't think of a logical explanation here OTHER than ghost, and yet, no one is more surprised than I that we're kind of taking the haunting in stride. After all, some of my supernatural fears over the years have included, but are not limited to, portraits –of seventeenth century despots OR OTHERS--coming alive, demonic possession of dolls and/or action figures, and zombification via freak zoo monkey bite accident. J claims he is generally unfazed by the ghost, since he is, in his words, "familiar with that world, with magic and the occult, on account of [his] reading the Harry Potter series in its entirety."
(My husband, ladies and gentlemen!)
Our general approach has been less Ghostbusty (And…now I've found my perfect name for an adult film geared towards the undead), and more like that of solicitous inkeepers. "Hi therrrrre," we'll trill nervously when the toys, you know, come alive. "We aren't afraid of youuuuu! We know you mean us no harrrrrrm!" We've mulled over the idea of telling the Unseen Presence to leave, but clearly that might just serve to piss it right the hell off, and then you just know I'll be dealing with an orgy of homicidal Elmo dolls and really, who needs that?
I would love to hear similar tales (we CAN'T be the only people who've experienced eerie shit like this, can we? CAN WE?), as well as your ideas for ways in which I can conduct subtle exorcisms, but if, in the interim, I hear a growly woman's voice inquiring as to whether or not I'm a god, I WILL SAY YES.

I'm skeered. That's all I have for now.
- Ladybug's Picnic said...
We too have the (I am thinking same) activity table that ALMOST EVERY NIGHT commences an enthusiastic rendition of the Alphabet Song in the playroom while the kids are sleeping and my husband and I are sitting down eating dinner in the kitchen. Which scares the ever loving shit out of us every single time.
And hee, hee. Ghostbusty. Love it. - 11:08 PM
- rebcram said...
Please tell J that I love him. His response about being familiar with this world because of Harry Potter just made me laugh so hard.
(Not that I'm laughing at your ghost situation, because SCARY. And I don't want to anger it.)
((And p.s. READ HARRY POTTER.)) - 11:09 PM

Sam's crib aquarium goes off CONSTANTLY, even though a) it is no longer in the crib; and b) no one is in the room. Or even that part of the house. And I swear to you, I've turned it off.
Also, and this is the creepiest, in my opinion, but we have this ridiculous little doll that GIGGLES this evil little laugh when you squeeze it (rather hard, I might add) that, of course, Sam fucking LOVES. I hate it. Hate. Anyway, once in a while -- like every few days or so -- for no reason, I shit you not, we can hear laughing from the living room. LAUGHING. THE GODDAMN DOLL JUST STARTS LAUGHING. ON ITS OWN.
Honestly, Metalia, if you could see this creepfaced little doll, you would die as I do. AND IT LAUGHS. GARHGHT. - 11:12 PM
- Jennifer said...
I am IN TEARS. Not from fear, but from laughing, OMG. At the Ghostbusty line: BRILLIANT. and also at J thinking that Harry Potter gives him knowledge of the ghost world. He is awesome.
Possibly related to your post: I would not want to spend the night in your apartment. *shiver* - 11:19 PM
- Mama Bub said...
No, no, no, not alone. We have more toys than I would like to admit that have souls, er the propensity to shout, "I love you," or "Hug me" or so Yo Gabba Gabba tune when I'm at my most vulnerable (read: engrossed in Tori and Dean.) We also have a ceiling fan/light that turns on and off, usually while we are sleeping. And if you think there's something more terrifying than waking up at 3am with lights blazing and the fan nearly whirring off of its track, you would be wrong.
- Museum Tweets said...
Not sure how to explain the other strange things, but I've had wind-up toys and music boxes start for no apparent reason. My dad explained that it has to do with the springs from the winding mechanism having some latent energy building up enough to move over time. So perhaps that's one explanation for you?
- Jamie said...
Seriously it has to be something with those activity tables. No kidding, our precious 15 month old daughter was nestled in her crib in the other room when all of the sudden we hear what sounds like two adults talking. My husband and I both jump up and run to the back of our house. We peer into our daughter's room. SILENCE. We creep down the hall and coming from the guest room, the noises continue. When we opened the door, after 10 minutes of "no, you do it!", we found the activity table going bonkers! It had been in the room for at least a week! My husband quickly took the batteries out and closed the door! Yes there as been other things but this is way too long. Thanks for sharing your ghostly encounters!
- Angella said...
You're FREAKING ME OUT.
And also have me humming the Ghostbusters song.
Dang it. - 1:25 AM
- Jessie said...
The Ghostbusty thing is genius!
We had a ghostly experience with our daughter at my husband's grandma's apartment. I was upstairs nursing Gabbie, when all of the sudden she pulled off, smiled at the corner, and waved. She went back to nursing, but then a few seconds later, pulled off, looked at the corner and laughed.
I then decided that she had nursed enough and hightailed it the heck out of there. I wouldn't have thought as much of it if I hadn't heard his grandma share ghostly experiences she'd had there before. Eek! - 8:38 AM
- Ali said...
Ray...when someone asks you if you're a god, YOU SAY YES!
now you will be safe from Gozer and other such things that scare the crap out of me. - 8:42 AM
- ammanners said...
My parents house has a ghost - we are convinced of it. Same types of things happen and a lot of electrical problems. The thing is someone did die (of old age) in the house - so it kinda makes sense. I mean if you are into that kind of thing it does.
- justshireen said...
A few years ago I was staying at my parents' house while they were out of town. It was around midnight and I was laying in my bed upstairs reading with the dog curled on the edge of the bed. All of a sudden there was what sounded like someone banging on the door that goes from the house to the garage and banging above my head in the attic. The dog jumped higher than I've ever seen him do before and I accidentally threw my book across the room.
After laying there for a few minutes we went and investigated (with a yard stick as protection, the only thing I could find!) slowly through the entire house. But never found anything. I even went into the basement. I would have thought someone broke in if both banging sounds hadn't happened at the same time. - 8:56 AM
- The Tutugirl said...
Reading the comments, I've determined that all small children contain demonic souls that are released into their toys. I'm assuming these demons eventually return to the children in the form of puberty.
- La Petite Chic said...
I can't believe I'm actually about to admit this, but my aunt and her family were featured on Sightings (remember that show?) and on Sally Jesse Raphael for a haunting in their house.
To this day, my family remains divided on whether or not they were telling the truth or if they were just bat shit crazy. I tend to be on the side that says there was probably something ghostly going on, but when you add claims of ghost molestation (yes, I just said GHOST molestation), the credibility kind of flies out the window.
(Aaaaand there goes any readership I might have had!) - 9:16 AM
- Karly said...
Toys scare the crap out of me. Every night I have to gather up my daughter's dolls and lock them in the playroom. I'm scared that I'll piss them off if I do it, but I can't have them running about the house gathering up weapons and such to KILL ME WITH while I'm sleeping. Toys are creepy.
- bessie.viola said...
I cannot stop laughing... but I sympathize, dude, I sympathize. We have the same occurences in our house, only it's generally with the LeapFrog drum (which is creepy sounding anyway) and this little "Baby Palm Pilot" thing she has with NO OFF SWITCH. It just... GIGGLES eerily at random.
I hate toys too. And now Maddie's getting into dolls, which frightens me to NO end. - 9:35 AM
- Shelly said...
Nope, not alone. Hubby and I have heard (and he's seen) lots of stuff over the years. I heard his voice one morning when he was out running errands. I searched the whole house, and there was no one there. So yes, ghosts, we haz them.
- bessie.viola said...
OH and the Harry Potter comment FTW! I totally share the Harry Potter love. ;)
- Miguelina. said...
Please let J start his own blog. Please?
- SLynnRo said...
Dude, J and Mr. A should totally be besties. They can bond over their mutual love of unnecessary verbiage and making ridiculous claims!
- Laurie said...
Yeah, this is legit stuff. My neighbor growing up had a ghost in their house. The cabinets would randomly open and close (like they would literally watch this happen) and one of the woman's adult children who grew up in that house and even claimed that she saw ghostly feet walking up the stairs.
Crazy stuff! - 10:16 AM
- auntie said...
Ghostbusty = Brilliant
- Jill said...
Sounds like a ghost to me. But if I was going to have a ghost, I think I'd like one that just wanted to play with toys OK. That's my kind of ghost, yo!
- velocibadgergirl said...
There's really only one question to be asked, here. Are YOU the gatekeeper?
- mrssoup said...
Love the fact that Harry Potter = Ghost experience. Infiri for the win.
And I blogged my ghost experiences here: http://mrssoup.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/ghost-stories/
So yes, I believe in ghosts. Absolutely. - 12:01 PM
We have a Noah's ark riding toy that, awhile back, used to make elephant noises randomly, without anyone pushing the buttons. Usually while we were sitting in the den watching TV, and the kids were asleep. And it would make the elephant noises over and over again. Very scary.
- Rhiannon said...
My dad's (formerly my Grandma's) beach house is TOTALLY haunted. Once, a photo fell of the wall, and each piece of the frame was in a different part of the room. Totally impossible to happen randomly. Also, once in my grandma's room, she had some tapes (possibly of the BETAMAX variety, because this was ages ago) that were pushed up against the wall on her dresser and they ALL completely fell forward and on to the floor.
- Barb @ getupandplay said...
I, too, have read Harry Potter- does that make me an expert, too?
- Jen said...
We had that activity table. I put it out on the curb. My hubby travels too much for me to deal with ghosts in the toys. I blame all other strange occurrences on the cat. I don't really like the cat, but if I get rid of her then I have to admit the house is haunted.
- samantha said...
We get like that with those damn Melissa and Doug puzzles. they make noise at that STRANGEST time when no one is around. Other people have told me they have that problem too but dude, freaks me the eff out.
The book thing for you though? Can't think of a reason that doesn't involve needing to call The Ghost Whisperer. Ghosts scare the crap outta me.
Good luck. . .hope to hear from you again. - 1:27 AM
- greyfavorite said...
No personal ghost stories to tell (thank heaven, as I am a total scaredy-cat) but apparently everyone has decided it's time to share. Antonia shared a few great ones a few weeks ago: http://yetanotherbloomingblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/woooooooooo.html
Oh, and: Your husband = hilarious. You married your match, apparently. - 6:42 AM
- Kristabella said...
1) I just went on a Haunted History tour in New Orleans of the Garden District and got to hear all sorts of ghost stories and haunted houses. (We also saw Archie Manning's house, also known as the house that Peyton and Eli grew up in, but that one isn't haunted.)
2) I was just talking with a co-worker about this and she once lived in a haunted townhouse that they ended up selling because it freaked them out too much. Like they heard someone in their bedroom on multiple occasions, pouring water on the carpet. - 12:41 PM
- HollyLynne said...
Kids' toys! A hotbed of haunting activity. Who knew?!
I would dearly love to see/prove the existence of a ghost. But despite my best efforts (sleeping in VERY haunted places on vacation, i.e. Hampton Court Palace, The Golden Fleece in York, etc.) I haven't seen much of anything.
If you ever catch that murderous clown ghost on your video monitor, I'll be very anxious to see the recording! - 5:02 PM
what did our ancestors do for ghost sightings before there were electronic toys?
- Tess said...
When I was home one time on a winter break from college, I heard the downstairs garage door open & slam shut two full floors below me & then I heard the distinctive sound of kids running up the stairs. I assumed it was my younger siblings arriving home from school, and so I called out a hello. When I didn't hear anything, I went downstairs to see who had slammed the door & been running on the stairs - very common and distinctive noises in a bustling family home, right? So anyway, I head downstairs, and not only am I home alone, but the door that I definitively heard slam was dead-bolted shut...I am CONVINCED I heard all that, though...
- lizgwiz said...
"When you need some strange, in your neighborhood...who you gonna ball? Ghostbusty!"
I crack myself up. ;)
I have had kitten ghosts more than once. I hear random noises that can only be a naughty kitten, and then there's nothing there. - 10:54 AM
- Jerri Ann said...
Indeed I believe. We owned a daycare at one time in a building where an old gym had been and there was a distinct smell in this one area of the 4 and 5 year olds classroom. I mentioned to my husband and others the characteristics of this ghost. I was only going by smell and was able to create a vision of what the ghost looked like only by his smell. I based it on the memories of my grandfather and that same smell.
Anyway, we dismantled the ghosts room and painted it. When we did that, he moved. And for months upon months I would smell him in various parts of the building. He was never in the same place twice and finally, he settled in a corner of the 4 and 5 year old's classroom. And, unfortunately, he was sleeping in the kids dress up clothes.
He would leave that room during the day and travel through the building but on the weekends or after everyone was gone, he was always back in the corner with the play clothes.
The hardest part of it all was the fact that the play clothes had to be washed so much more often because he had a really foul smell to him. Not just plain body odor for not bathing indefinitely but more a smell of a man who had worked all day in the garden and had just sat down on the porch before going inside late in the evening.
He had greasy slicked back hair and I suspect he was in his late 60's or early 70's. Everyone thought I was nuts until...........
he moved to the only adult bathroom in the building during the day. When I sold the daycare, he would go to the bathroom by day and the play clothes by night. IT was easy to convince him to leave the bathroom so I could be alone.
One of my employee's was a cousin who knew the smell I was referring to and when she finally smelled him in the bathroom, she too was amused. But, as I said, he would leave for a few minutes if you asked nicely.
I did learn that simply shewing him out with a nasty tone was not going over too well. You HAD to ask him nicely or ..he would simply stay right there with you.
He really appeared to be a nice man. The daycare is still in that building under a new owner and I can't help but wonder if he stayed in the building the 4 or 5 months it was empty or if sought another place to live.
No, I am not nuts....just sharing the tale of the ghost-man. - 6:09 PM
my niece had one of these small toy kitchens. one day the toy started making these really weird slow, deep noises that indicate that the batteries are dying. so we took the batteries OUT and the toy kitchen continued to make noises even with THE BATTERIES REMOVED. creepy.
- Operation Pink Herring said...
we have a ghost too. It turns on our downstairs TV every once in awhile. The first time it happened it FREAKED THE SHIT out of our petsitter, because we were on vacation. She thought the house had been broken into (and that the robbers had watched TV). After that, we just assumed it was the cats somehow jumping up and turning it on... until it happened while I was in the next room, alone in the house, with all three cats sleeping within my sight. Now I know FOR SURE it's the ghost, which i always secretly suspected since we live in a 100-year-old house.
- fromthehills said...
Okay, I have no ghost of my own...and I am skeptical about ghosts and paranormal stuff in general (I'll believe it when I see it, I guess). But, I do read another blog who has been experiencing a friendly haunting...
Maybe you guys can trade notes?

Not sure what's funnier - Ghostbusty as an adjective or familiarity with the ghosties through Harry Potter! But seriously, I blame batteries. I was up late one night (playing a Trivia contest, there was a good reason) and one of my son's remote control cars began running across the floor. I couldn't find the remote, so I removed the battery. But meanwhile, I was answering triva questions about a rather creepy movie, and my sleep was disturbed for a week!
I'm behind in my reading but wanted to comment on this one. We lost my late husband in 2003. I honestly think he hides things from me, giggles as I look for them, then puts them right out in the open.
I can't remember what the object was, but it wasn't in the place I always keep it. I looked & looked elsewhere. Later I went to the living room & found it in my seat. It was large enough that there is no way I could have been sitting on it without noticing.
He was a computer programmer. I also suspect him when one of our computers acts up,then when my current husband goes to fix it, there is no problem at all.

OK, that freaked me RIGHT THE HELL OUT. What's worse is, you haven't moved recently, right? I would assume that if you have a ghost, it is there from the start, not that it would just show up when you're all settled in and la-la-la-everything's-fine-here!
I'm glad you have your wits about you. I can't say I'd be as calm! But you're right: if there is a ghost, it seems to be one who just wants to play, so no harm in that, I hope.
Have you tried taking the batteries out of these toys when your kids aren't playing with them? On second thought, don't. I don't think I want to know if the toys still work sans batteries... Yikes. - 9:32 PM

Keeping Hampshire's Streets Safe This Halloween
Thursday, 25 October 2012
Hampshire County Council's Accredited Community Safety Officers (ACSOs) will take to the streets across the county to help try to prevent any nasty surprises for residents this Halloween and Bonfire Night.
Every year police receive calls from people across the county who have been frightened or disturbed by trick or treaters and fireworks. This year, teams of ACSOs will work alongside partners in Hampshire Constabulary and Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service on the evening of Wednesday 31 October and the weekend leading up to Monday 5 November, to help prevent as many of these incidents as possible.
By carrying out high-visibility patrols on foot and in marked vehicles, the ACSOs provide a visible presence in Hampshire's towns and villages to help reduce the fear of crime and deter anti-social behaviour.
The officers deal with low-level crime that has a big impact on people's feelings of safety and security, such as vandalism, underage drinking, untaxed vehicles, cycling on footpaths, fly-tipping and abandoned vehicles.
ACSOs are able to share details of these incidents and any intelligence with local police, councils and Hampshire County Council Trading Standards. In cases of firework, alcohol, cigarette or spray-paint confiscations from youngsters for example, this information may then lead to Trading Standards reminding retailers of their legal responsibilities and carrying out test purchasing operations on premises suspected of selling these age-restricted items.
Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Ken Thornber said: "This time of the year can be fun for many people, but for some of our more vulnerable and elderly residents it can be a frightening time.
"Parents and children should be mindful that some of these members of our community do not wish to participate in Halloween and Bonfire activities and may in fact feel intimidated by groups of people calling at their doors."

How You Can Help Newtown Kids on First Day Back at School
Snowflake creators from throughout the country say they want to join the effort.
People across the country have had the families of Newtown, CT, on their minds during the holiday season and are searching for ways to help. What can you do? The Sandy Hook Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) recently announced that Sandy Hook students will be relocating to another building to continue school in January. To brighten the students' first day, the PTA is asking for handmade snowflakes from well-wishers across the country, to hang in their new building. "Please help these students have a 'winter wonderland' at their new school! Get creative. No two snowflakes are alike," they said. Snowflakes can be made and sent by Jan. 12, 2013 to: Connecticut PTSA 60 Connolly Parkway Building 12, Suite 13 Hamden, CT 06514 Click here to see …

An indexprint or contactsheet is an image that traditionally contains the negative images of an entire roll of film. Photographers used such sheets to index prints or as a proof page to decide which prints to enlarge.
Indexprint is a very useful tool to show the contents of a folder, for web design projects and galleries, personal work, or just to have a record of any archive folder in your (external) hard drives. Indexprint let you easily preview and catalog groups of images by displaying a series of (small) images on a single page or multiple pages.
From version 3.20 on indexprint has the possibility to show the exif information 'date and time', 'iso', 'speed', and 'F-number' if exist otherwise 'no exif data' will be printed. With the latest version 3.31 also JPEG XR formats can be printed. From v4 on the interface has been rebuild and also some new features has been added.
The pictures below are samples how indexprint/contactsheet works. For the default indexprint I have defined only three pictures on a row and three rows. I also wanted the filename including the extension printed. As result all pictures are scaled and centered within there respective minipages.
Default indexprint. Images are complete printed | Indexprint used as a mosaicprint |
Indexprint with ratio 1:1 choosen. Images are cropped. | Indexprint with ratio 16:9 choosen. Images are cropped. |
Indexprint with ratio 16:9 and rotate images checked. Images are cropped. | .... |
Read and Save page | Page options page |
Image options page. | other page. |
Indexprint is the same program as contactsheet v2.xx (http://registry.gimp.org/node/120) but has his own GUI designed with Glade, v2.xx uses PF-widgets. Reason is that a few problems with v2.xx cannot be easily solved i.e. the small screen problem, choosing a mix of imagetypes and size/ratio. These problems are solved in this new version. V3.xx uses also tooltips, also not possible in v2.xx.
This updated version works with version 2.6/2.8 of The Gimp, several imagetypes are supported.
Updated versions are first published on my website at http://www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl --> GIMP.
The Indexprint plugin is tested on Windows XP SP3 and Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (both 32 bits).
Installation notes given here are for windows only. On Linux: don't forget to make indexprint.py executable.
Indexprint can also be installed with Gimp Extensions Pack: http://registry.gimp.org/node/27656
Installation Gimp v2.6 and Indexprint v3.33
See my website http://www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl --> GIMP for details.
Installation Gimp v2.8.x and Indexprint v3.33
Download from the file attachments:
-Indexprint v3.33.zip
-add glade Gimp-2.8_32bit.zip (needed also for Lineborder 2)
1. Unpack Indexprint v3.33.zip and copie all the files (including the directories) to the user plugin dir of The Gimp.
2. Unpack "add glade Gimp-2.8_32bit.zip" and copie all the files to the appropiate directories of The Gimp.
3. First time you start Indexprint an "error" can occur. Indexprint don't know the location of your images and the location where you want to install your indexprint.
For JPG XR, raw and ps/eps files and exif information you need also to download and install:
- UFRAW plugin,
- Ghostscript/ghostview,
- pyexiv2 (needs also Python2.7.2/2.7.3 installed),
- JPEG XR plugin (it is possible you get a .dll error, search the registry for it)
Installation Gimp v2.8.x and Indexprint V4 development
Installation same as v3.33 except download "Indexprint development version" instead of Indexprint v3.33.zip.
This version is the bleeding edge towards v4. See my website for more details what has changed.
At the moment do not use this version for commercial use for home use it is oke. This means that you should know your way around Linux or windows systems and that you should have an interest in tracking down bugs. On my systems it is working except sorting on exif and not all exif information can be included.
News about Indexprint V4
Soon I will release a second release of the development version it contains a lot of improvements and of course a few bugs are corrected. This new release contains also a hidden tab for controlling some constants there is even more control about the number of columns and rows.
Changelog can be found on my website http://www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl --> GIMP..
For some reason translations aren't working anymore on windows (bugzilla 574520); Linux users have no problem. Affects also Lineborder 2.

She let the blood skim down her chin, the cooper taste warmed her throat while her jaw muscles feel the giving slack of life flee from the creature's body and finally released. Her wound was still inflamed from the fight, not wanting it to become infected; the hurt cat gently pulls her hind leg out and began to sharply lick it clean. Her rough tongue made it sting but gripped away the dirt, clearing of bacteria that would cripple her. It was a painful necessity. Her tiny toes spread wide as she tasted the remains of animal's struggle upon her thick fur, shifting it with short, quick strokes before turning her attention back to the mangle body. Still the animal scanned the corner of her eyes looking for any sight of sudden movement. The pupil dilated wider to sharpen the distance, almost like a high tech zooming lens with constant refocus at each delicate bob of her small head.
The Boro was exhausted but Nyr was weak from lack of a meal. Once she managed to get past the large, sharp claws then the fight was long over. She dug her teeth beneath the jaw, the place where that thick vein of pulsing blood was. The one to make the animal's body go limp most often. Nyr got a shiver of delight over the idea, the very emotion that made her tail flick with enjoyment and eagerness. Now it was time to feast.
Nyr, savored the meat, the slender body held between her paws as she lapped up the blood and stringy sinew of the torn body. Her head twisted and pulled away, two sets of incisors worked their way about and into the soft tissue between the joints aided by the much smaller front teeth to peel all the meat from the very bone. Loud crunching noises betrayed her delight while her forepaws manipulated and tore the carcass apart. Gorging herself on both the animal carcass as well as the tiny spores, uncertain of her next nourishing meal Nyr greedily ate with increasing speed. This was her first fresh kill in a month as she scavenged alongside larger predators the long dead bodies of other animals ranging from starved herbivores to murdered carnivores for a scrawny meal, her body now budged with content, Nyr felt happy enough to purr. Sounds. Her large ears perked, flicking in limited motions of turns to locate the source.
Crack, crackle…a rumbling sound from above made her look up.
It took mere seconds to watch a black stone descended, much too quickly for the strange bat-bird peering over the ledge to catch it. Nyr couldn't pry her now black pupils on white, her vision vibrate color followed the odd little thing until it landed near her kill. She tilted her head. Curious, her one ear pulled back against her head while eyes were wide with interest at what item fell from the heavens. Muscles moved before she could think of the after affects or realize how dangerous it was to provoke a strange animal, instincts took second place to her natural need to know about new things.
Very near she drew, stopping just a paw reach from the egg as she balled her body up in a similar pouncing stance from before. Her back legs bunched up, tense and ready to leap out upon the black stone. It wobbled and shook. Nyr felt her shoulders readjust, shifting like an Olympic runner before the gun shot, vision never left her target. A paw flicked out batting the shell slightly across the ground. Scriink, the sound cause Nyr to jump back startled, before just as fast reaching out the same paw, claws hidden, and purred. It was clear she was enjoying playing with her new found toy.
She shuffled it from one side, then to the other and finally took it up in her front paws. Her body flipped over with the egg pulled close to her chest, the pliable hairs folded harmlessly against her side, it continued to shake and quake making it hard to keep between her paws while her hind legs kicked out aiding in its hatching. It came loose from her surprisingly gentle grasp. She yowled as if calling it back, of course it didn't. Nyr wasn't that easily detoured, her lithe form stalked behind the skittering egg and her tail flicked lazily keeping a time of sort with the egg's movements. Paws were nothing more than thick skin, immune to the gravel that scratched at it and voided of any nerve ends except for between the toes, so she easily took her time creeping closer to the item. What was it doing, she thought still eyeing it, not attentive to Jinijz in the least while the cracks multiplied across the surface.

What is the difference between component av cable and composite av cable
- Asked by Yong Won K from Orangeburg
- Dec 2, 2010
Best Answer
The Composite AV has 3 connections to your TV - the combined video signal and audio left and right. The Component AV cable has 3 connectors for video (separated into Red, Blue and Green signals to produce a better picture) and the left and right audio connectors.
Most older TVs that have AV inputs will have a set of composite inputs as will as some HDTVs, but typically only HDTVs have the Component inputs. Check your TVs inputs to see what you need. If the input on the TV has only 3 connectors (yellow, white and red) it is composite and if there are 5 connectors in the input grouping together you need the component cable. …- Answered by Brian B from Montgomery

Lexington, KY —March 8, 2012— Equestrian Events, Inc. (EEI), producer of the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event and Ariat Kentucky Reining Cup, is excited to announce that the famed Country music group Exile will perform at this year's event. The performance will be part of a free two-hour concert for ticket holders to either of the two equestrian events on Saturday, April 28 from 3:30–5:30 pm.
The American Saddlebred Museum is accepting consignments to be considered for inclusion in the 2012 Equine Art, Antique and Rare Book Auction. The auction will be held on Saturday July 14 at the museum's Showplace for Saddlebreds (at the Kentucky Horse Park) in conjunction with the Lexington Jr. League Horse Show. Deadline for submission of consignments is March 26, 2012.
Lexington, KY, March 5, 2012 - The Kentucky Horse Council (KHC) is providing coordination for the U.S. Equine Disaster Relief Fund to support horse owners affected by this past week's tornadoes. KHC has experience responding to equine crises through this fund and the Save Our Horses (SoHo) Fund.
"In the past, we have supported many victims of flooding and disasters in other states, and now it is Kentucky which needs this support. Our hearts and prayers go out to all who have been affected by this tragedy. The U.S. Equine Disaster Relief Fund will help Kentucky horse owners with temporary feed and fencing as they work to recover from this disaster," remarked Anna Zinkhon, President of the Kentucky Horse Council.
"We are also in touch with the Indiana Horse Council to determine the extent of the need there," she continued.
The Kentucky Horse Council has been contacting officials in those areas most affected by the tornadoes, to assess the impact of the extensive tornado damage on horse owners.
"We are relieved that over the weekend, horse organizations such as the Northern Kentucky Horse Network have already relayed important information among horse owners regarding temporary shelter and how to assist those victims who have horses. Buffalo Mounted Patrol has traveled to West Liberty, where the devastation was incredible, to patrol damaged areas until rescue efforts could be fully mobilized," commented Ginny Grulke, Executive Director of the Kentucky Horse Council.
When any state needs assistance due to a natural disaster, KHC notifies its members and the Kentucky horse community and begins the process of responding to the needs of the affected horses, typically by purchasing feed which the local response agencies then distributes to affected horses. For the tornadoes that hit this past weekend, it is Kentucky who needs the help.
Donations to the U.S. Disaster Relief Fund can be made at www.kentuckyhorse.org/disaster-relief/.
ABOUT THE KENTUCKY HORSE COUNCIL - The Kentucky Horse Council is a non-profit organization dedicated, through education and leadership, to the protection and development of the Kentucky equine community. The Kentucky Horse Council provides educational programs and information, scholarships, personal liability insurance, trail riding advocacy, horse show support, and an annual statewide equine industry directory.

Bluegrass Rape Crisis Center partners with Central Kentucky Riding for Hope
on innovative program that needs support
Lexington, KY (February 16, 2012) – "Beautiful." "Balance." "Strength." "Friend." "I trust you." These are just a few affirmations written in chalk that appeared last fall on the shiny coats of the horses of Central Kentucky Riding for Hope (CKRH) at the Kentucky Horse Park. The words were written by survivors of rape and childhood sexual abuse who participated in a unique pioneering collaboration between CKRH and the Bluegrass Rape Crisis Center.
Called the BRCC/CKRH EAST Group, the innovative experience built upon the existing eight-week BRCC Building Blocks Group curriculum and provided equine-assisted skills experiences that capitalize on the long-established horse-human bond to promote healing. The name EAST (Equine Assisted Survivors of Trauma) fits perfectly with the collaboration's objective to provide survivors of sexual violence a new day filled with hope and promise.
The program resulted from CKRH's desire to expand its mental health programming at its facility at the Kentucky Horse Park and BRCC's commitment to offer cutting-edge healing opportunities to survivors of sexual violence.
Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) are based on a team approach by individuals who are licensed and credentialed in their respective professions. The pilot EAST Group therapy team consisted of Lee Ellis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a therapist at BRCC; Leigh Koetsch, B.A., a crisis counselor at BRCC; and Charlotte Easley, a graduate student in the Master of Social Work program at Asbury University who is interning at CKRH. Easley, who graduates in May, had interned at BRCC last year; with the support and encouragement of CKRH Program Director Denise Spittler, she approached Ellis and Koetsch about the collaboration. The four women worked enthusiastically to create a brave new model for healing and hope in Central Kentucky while realizing the potential power of the partnership – both inter-agency and with the equine.
"When Charlotte first approached me with the idea of a collaborative group to maximize healing for sexual trauma survivors, I immediately knew that it would be a fantastic way to enrich healing through the unique strengths of both BRCC and CKRH" Ellis said.
Easley, who has specialized training and certifications to provide equine assisted learning and psychotherapy, explained the program: "All EAST sessions consisted of non-mounted activities where group members partnered with their horses to complete tasks designed to put the skills learned in BRCC's Building Blocks group into practice. The Building Blocks Curriculum was developed by BRCC and has been used successfully for group work many times. We just understood that adding the equine component would take the results to the next level."
Over eight weeks, participants met as a group for the BRCC psycho-educational component, Building Blocks, and met individually with their therapists. Once a week they gathered at CKRH for the EAST Group, which combined psycho-education, skills building, and equine-assisted learning to create a personal journey of therapeutic healing. From walking to the field to catch and halter their horses to meditating, from serpentine walking to grooming, survivors participated in exercises designed to assist them in working through common symptoms of trauma, such as trust issues, relationship challenges, hyper-vigilance and post-traumatic stress.
Results of the initial program
Equine-assisted activities and therapies have been documented to be an effective experiential approach to emotional and intellectual growth. Based on pre- and post-surveys of the inaugural EAST Group, participants improved their coping and relational skills and reduced their traumatic symptoms by 33%. Responses included:
"I gained confidence in my ability to handle stress."
"I feel calmer and more confident in how I handle my relationships."
"It helped me make relationship connections."
In addition, participants gained confidence in working with horses and in their abilities to interact successfully with their horse and others:
"I feel more confident in how I read people and relationships and learned from the horse about the signals I send."
"I learned a lot from group and the work with the horses. I think my horse made the difference."
When asked about the value of the combined group and the ability to better manage emotions, symptoms and interpersonal relationships, the overall consensus was that adding the equine component enhanced the therapeutic process for clients:
"The personality of my horse matched mine so well; he taught me so many things I could not have discovered on my own."
"Animals and music cut through the layers of my defenses faster than anything else – awesome combination."
These results have encouraged continued collaboration between the two agencies in a commitment to provide the best possible services to survivors of sexual trauma in Central Kentucky. However, financial support is needed for the program to continue.
CKRH and BRCC need your help
CKRH (www.ckrh.org), which was founded in 1981, is dedicated to enriching the community by improving the quality of life and the health of children and adults with special physical, cognitive, emotional and social needs through therapeutic activities with the horse.
The Bluegrass Rape Crisis Center (www.bluegrassrapecrisis.org) provides free counseling, therapy and advocacy to survivors of sexual assault and abuse, adult survivors of sexual abuse, and anyone impacted by sexual violence. In keeping with that mission, the EAST Group is offered to participants free of charge; however, the program needs financial help to continue. For BRCC and CKRH, the cost to provide a two-hour session for up to eight people is approximately $660. Therefore, both organizations invite businesses, individuals and others to support a person or a session at the cost of $660 OR sponsor an entire group for $3,300.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 15, 2012) The Kentucky Horse Park is pleased to announce a new state-wide horse grooming contest to be held on March 31.
The contest will to provide 4-H Clubs, Future Farmers of America, United States Pony Clubs, and other youth groups an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to work together in a safe and humane manner to groom and prepare horses for showing. Both senior and junior divisions will be offered, and champion and reserve champion awards will be given.
Participants will need to dust off their grooming supplies and get in groom-ready shape. The Kentucky Horse Park will provide the horses, and park staff will make sure the animals are all in need of a good grooming before the contest.
Teams of three will be assigned a horse and then given 30 minutes to brush, dust, detangle and polish their way to the champion groom team honors. The contest also will include a written test on general horse knowledge as well as a showmanship class at the end of the day, to show off all of the polished ponies.
This is sure to be good, "clean" family fun and a great opportunity to kick off the summer show season, which is just around the corner.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 14, 2012) The Kentucky Horse Park will open something akin to a school in a barn, to engage school-age children in discovering the wonder of horses. The new attraction is a joint project between the public and private sectors and it will be the first attraction at the park that is dedicated solely to children. The Kids' Barn will feature interactive exhibits, while the park's education department staff will host daily hands-on activities with the park's resident horses.
"Children have a tremendous curiosity and natural affinity for horses, and since one of the most important missions of the Kentucky Horse Park is to raise awareness of - and interest in – horses, our new Kids' Barn will be a wonderful expression of our dedication to that goal," said John Nicholson, executive director of the park. "It will expand their knowledge and appreciation of horses and the horse industry in a fun and memorable way, through lots of hands-on interactions and other learning experiences."
With a face like this, Moon must be the George Clooney of the Thoroughbred world -- and he has a bod to go along with it!
Moon is a 9-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, 15.1-hands tall, who is coming along very well under saddle in the retraining program at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center while he waits for a new home.
He is solid, quiet, and sound for any discipline.
He has been used as a pleasure horse in the past, so Moon should also make a great trail horse.
He is friendly and stands well for the farrier.
If you adopt him now, you'll have plenty of time to get ready for spring and summer horse shows and trail rides!

LEXINGTON, Ky, USA/Imphal, Manipur, India (January 20, 2012) The Secretariat of His Excellency Gurbachan Jagat, the Governor of Manipur, and the International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, are pleased to announce that a unique gift of traditional Manipuri Polo (Sagol Kangjei) gear has been donated by His Excellency to the museum on behalf of the people of Manipur. The donation was arranged by Dr. R.K.Nimai Singh, Secretary to the Governor and L. Somi Roy, a film and media arts curator, of New York.
The gifts were designed and fabricated by Meisnam Khelen of Khurai Thongam Leikai, former captain of the Manipur Polo team following the most authentic process and materials. They include the traditional Manipuri wooden saddle, braided bridle, braided leather whip, a full set of traditional polo player's attire, two traditional polo mallets and a ball. Mr. Roy made an additional gift of traditional Manipuri darts (arambai) with peacock feathers, also made by Mr. Khelen.
The Governor of Manipur is pleased that he was able to donate the items on behalf of the people of Manipur. Even though Manipur is the origin of modern polo, most people do not know this and he expressed that this small gift will at least provide a window to the glorious polo tradition of Manipur to the outside world. He expressed his gratitude to the museum for accepting the gifts for display.
"We are extremely grateful to the governor and the people of Manipur not only for the significant donation of ethnographic materials related to the Manipuri Pony* and polo in Manipur, but also for allowing us to do our small part to raise awareness of these historically significant animals and the current threat of their extinction," said Bill Cooke, Director of the International Museum of the Horse.
The gifts will be displayed in the museum's permanent exhibit called "The Horse in Sport." An exploration of the contemporary uses of horse in recreational activities, the exhibit features sections devoted to rodeo, polo, Thoroughbred racing, Standardbred racing and more. The exhibit was renovated in the summer of 2010 and now features a major section devoted to eight disciplines of the World Equestrian Games, which the Kentucky Horse Park hosted in 2010. Manipuri sagol kangjei will be featured alongside English polo, tracing the origins and history of modern polo. Expected to open to the public in the Spring of 2012, the exhibition panel will display Manipuri sagol kangjei and English polo in traditional attire as well as video and photographic displays.
In addition, the museum will add the Manipuri Pony, or the Meitei Sagol, to its online exhibit "Horse Breeds of the World" and will highlight the breed's special characteristics, its importance in the region and culture of Manipur and its present endangered condition.
The governor's Secretariat and the International Museum of the Horse are pleased to acknowledge the contributions to this addition to the museum by Dr. Evelyn Knight, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Health Behaviour, University of Kentucky College of Public Health; Becky Ryder, Director of the Keeneland Library at the Keeneland Association Race Course in Lexington; Mary Molinaro, Associate Dean for Library Technologies at University of Kentucky Libraries; and Rachel Roberts, Digitisation Studio Manager at the British Library in London.

Quick fix: City offers free do-it-yourself plumbing repair class
By Kenny Green, firstname.lastname@example.com
According to city officials, the average home loses 14 percent of its water due to leaks. The city is hosting a do-it-yourself plumbing repair class at 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 5 at Rutherford Community Center, 900 Rutherford Drive. The goal of the class is to learn minor repairs to save water and lower your water bill.
�We have been in water conservation mode for a long time. If we can conserve more than our water supply can continue to be sustainable for a long time,� said Paige Swiney, executive director of Keep Mesquite Beautiful.
Among the topics that will be covered at the class are checking for leaky toilets, faucets and hose bibs, replacing toilet flappers, fixing leaky faucets, installing aerators and low-flow showerheads and other water conservation tips.
Charlie Brown from GWS Plumbing Services will be leading the informative demonstration. Attendees will receive free aerators and low-flow showerheads when they attend the class.
�He is a certified master plumber. He does plumbing workshops in Dallas and came to us highly recommended,� Swiney said.
The workshop is offered free of charge to Mesquite residents by the city of Mesquite and Keep Mesquite Beautiful to encourage water and energy conservation and sustainable living practices.
�The city is always trying to help the community. When we are able to provide things that can help them then it helps us achieve our ultimate goal,� Swiney said.
Although the class is free, pre-registration is required due to limited space. For information on the class or to register contact Kathy Fonville at 972-329-8300 or Paige Swiney at 972-329-8331.
The class is part of the city of Mesquite and Keep Mesquite Beautiful�s Sustainable Living Series. The next class on Feb. 9 will focus on green living. For information on upcoming classes visit www.cityofmesquite.com/utilities.
�We have several of these helpful classes coming up. It�s important for us to offer these types of resources to our community,� Swiney said. �It takes a lot of time and energy to learn things on your own. If we are able to educate people on something in a two hour class then its beneficial to them.�

Why Buy a Solas Aluminum Prop?
Solas aluminum propellers surpasses regular stainless steel propellers in terms of thinness, corrosion resistance, and quality. Every Solas aluminum prop is squeeze-cast to remove tiny air bubbles that can form in the casting process for increased density and toughness over a traditional die cast aluminum prop. As shown to the right with 400x magnification of a propeller blade root cross-section the squeeze cast aluminum propeller is almost non-porous, with finer grain size than the die cast aluminum prop.
Each Solas aluminum prop is then finished with 4 layers of paint to ensure superior anti-corrosion properties and to keep your Solas Propeller looking good year after year.
Numerous tests conducted by major media authorities have proven that Solas Propellers stand up to collisions better than the competitors', and long-term durability studies have shown that Solas Propellers' resistance against rust and corrosion outperforms all the others in their class.

Care to be buddies?
Hi, you made a good post about today's news item "National average breaks rising streak". In my opinion, we need and deserve relief at the pump now. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
I hope you and yours have a happy, healthy, safe and prosperous 2013. Happy New Year!
Best wishes to you and yours for a Merry Christmas and joyous holiday season!
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for your service.
Here he is at his best on the "blame him..." http://www.allamericanblogger.com/15310/flashback-obama-2008-blames-bush-and-cheney-for-high-oil-prices-promises-change/
The whole headline reads "Obama Delays Oil Pipeline, Neb. Claims Victory"Nebraska officials including its Republican governor pushed against the project
1,) It's inconsistent for Gore to leave a car running; you rely on an anonymous blogger of dubious credibility, accepting his assertions as gospel, right? Why? Wouldn't Gore want to appear to be consistent because he'd be more effective if he were seen as being consistent. Makes no sense to do otherwise. I don't think he's that careless, incapable, or neglectful. 2.) In debate and argument, ad hominem attacks focus on belittling the person, not his ideas. Propagandists use ad hominem attacks; Hitler was a master at ad hominem attacks. They enabled him to do what he did. Do you like that style? I don't.
Oh and thank you for your service to this once great country of ours.

Battles proved major turning point in war
Motorists zipping along Route 360 or Interstate 295 through eastern Henrico may seldom think about it, but their travels slice across some of the most hotly-contested, strategically-significant territory of the Civil War. Over the course of the week ending on July 1, 1862, the area was the scene of six major battles. These conflicts, which we now know as the Seven Days Battles, are occasionally labeled the Seven Days Campaign. But rather than being a true, separate campaign, the battles actually represented the culmination of the Peninsula Campaign – Union General George B. McClellan's unsuccessful effort to capture the Confederate capital at Richmond and end the war. Eventually coming within seven miles of the capital, McClellan's troops were in prime position for a strike at the region's transportation hubs and the Confederacy's economic and manufacturing centers, which supplied iron and small arms that were crucial to the survival of the army. With nearly 125,000 men, McClellan had amassed the largest army in American history, outnumbering the Confederate troops almost two to one. In addition to their smaller numbers, the Rebels were also disadvantaged by fortifications that were far from complete. Excavations had begun on only four of 18 batteries ringing the city; powder magazines frequently held as much as three feet of water; and uncleared woods still obscured the line of fire. Yet instead of capturing Richmond, the Federal forces ended the Seven Days Battles in retreat and eventual withdrawal. Under the leadership of a new commander named Robert E. Lee, the Confederates took the offensive, and the war would go on for another three long, hard years. As a major turning point in the Civil War, the Seven Days Battles rank number six on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant events in Henrico's 400-year history. 'Four tables amputating all day' General Robert E. Lee was less than a month into his tenure as commander when the Seven Days Battles took place. On the last day of May, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston – in what some say was his greatest contribution to the Confederate cause – had suffered a wound at the Battle of Seven Pines that set the stage for Lee to take charge of the Army of Northern Virginia. Headquartered at Dabbs House, Lee spent the month of June extending his defensive lines and fortifying the earthworks that ringed the city. Early on, his fondness for ordering shovel duty had earned Lee the nickname "King of Spades" from his grumbling troops. Meanwhile, McClellan – who had struggled through such boggy conditions on his march up the peninsula that one historian said the Army of the Potomac "seemed to ooze instead of march" – camped nearby and obligingly waited for dry weather and roads. Lacking his expected reinforcements, and concerned that the Confederate build-up on his right flank threatened supply lines north of the Chickahominy, McClellan arranged to shift his base of supply to the James River at Harrison's Landing. Beginning on June 25, the opening clashes of the Seven Days Battles took place at Beaver Dam Creek and Gaines Mill in Hanover County. On the night of June 27, after hard fighting at Gaines Mill, part of McClellan's army began withdrawing toward the James across the Grapevine Bridge (today the site of the Route 156 bridge across the Chickahominy). The Yankee wounded were brought to a field hospital at Savage Station, where one wounded New Jersey soldier recorded in his diary, "Four tables amputating all day." Although he still held the advantage, McClellan was unnerved by the Gaines Mill battle and convinced that he was surrounded and outnumbered. Instead of merely shifting his supply base to the southeast, he abandoned his siege of Richmond and ordered the troops to head for the relative safety of Harrison's Landing. Savage Station: the land Merrimack On June 29, Savage Station became the scene of the third battle of the Seven Days Battles. Maj. Gen. John Magruder's Confederate forces attacked the rear guard of the retreating Federals, who were hampered by a lack of north-south routes. Most roads below the Chickahominy River ran east-west, so it took McClellan's troops three days to march southeast, then turn south at White Oak Swamp. But without help from Stonewall Jackson, who was still reconstructing the Grapevine Bridge, Magruder could not capitalize on the situation. The Confederates, however, did fire at Federal units with a siege gun that was mounted on a railroad flatcar and pushed into position with a locomotive. Dubbed the "Land Merrimack," the siege gun bombarded the Union front, with some of its shells reaching as far to the rear as the field hospital. The use of the gun marked the first-ever instance of railroad artillery used in combat. Forced to leave behind their field hospital, including 500 medical personnel and more than 2500 sick and wounded, the Yankees moved on to face new challenges at Glendale and Malvern Hill, the final two battles of the Seven Days Battles. Glendale: the lost opportunity The dual names designating the June 30, 1862 conflict – Frayser's Farm and Glendale – suggest just one of the communication problems that dogged the Confederate Army's movements in the unfamiliar ground around the Chickahominy and James rivers. Duplicate or misleading place names (including two Cold Harbor crossroads in nearby Hanover, and the locally-known-but-absent-from-maps Darbytown Road) and unreliable directions frequently confused orders and delayed troop movements. Of course, exhaustion was another factor contributing to Confederate woes, and the wet weather and treacherous mud continued to pose obstacles to maneuvers for both armies. As one solder wrote of his travails around White Oak Swamp, "Wet ground to sleep on, mud to wade through, swollen creeks to ford, muddy springs to drink from." It was in White Oak Swamp on June 30 that Stonewall Jackson's troops stalled as they pursued McClellan's army in its retreat toward the James. Unable to cross a stream protected by Yankee fire, Jackson never made it to Glendale to join the attack planned by General Lee. With Union brigades positioned around the bottleneck at Glendale crossroads, unaware of Rebel plans to strike, the attack represented Lee's last best chance to intercept the Federals and cut them off from the James River. Lee had so outmaneuvered McClellan's scattered troops that – had he only gotten early support from Jackson and Huger (slowed by downed trees on Charles City Road) – historians believe a defeat of McClellan was virtually assured. Instead, the Confederates could manage only a piecemeal attack, notable for some of the fiercest bayonet and rifle-butt fighting of the war. As one Northern colonel described the scene: "It was muzzle to muzzle, and the powder actually burned the faces of the opposing men." By nightfall the battle at Glendale has sputtered to an indecisive finish, and Federal forces were able to regroup and escape. With the dying daylight, it's been said, also died one of the South's greatest opportunities for victory. Many historians identify Glendale as the penultimate battle of the Seven Days, pointing out that had the day gone differently, the entire history of the war – and perhaps the nation – could have changed. As Confederate General E. Porter Alexander's famously lamented, "Never, before or after, did the fates put such a prize within our reach." Malvern Hill McClellan's forces settled atop a natural fortress – one historian called it a mini-Gibraltar – at Malvern Hill, a mile-wide plateau that must have seemed a paradise after six weeks in the swamps. July 1 dawned so hot, however, that soldiers on both sides suffered sunstroke as the Confederates attempted one final offensive. But once again, the Rebels were unable to coordinate their attack, and again confusing instructions and mapping mixups played key roles. Magruder's brigades, for instance, wasted a long march in the wrong direction following "Quaker Road" – a name applied locally to two neighboring but different routes. With Federal gunboats also lobbing shells from the river, the Confederate charge was futile. Despite great loss of life on both sides, Malvern Hill was clearly a victory for the North. Yet the demoralized McClellan continued his withdrawal to the new supply base at Harrison's Landing. "For Lee, Malvern Hill was a tactical defeat," wrote historian Ernest B. Furgurson. "But the Seven Days Campaign was a major strategic success. McClellan pulled back to Harrison's Landing, 19 straight miles from the city, much further by crooked roads or winding river." Just three months earlier, as McClellan prepared to march up the Peninsula, the end of the war had seemed to be within his grasp. In the wake of his retreat, Northern morale plummeted – while Confederate morale skyrocketed. Jokes about "changing my base" made the rounds of the Rebel forces, inspiring great hilarity – and even a few derisive verses. One of the more popular examples went, "Henceforth, when a fellow is kicked out of doors, he need never resent the disgrace; but exclaim, 'My dear sir, I'm eternally yours, for assisting in changing my base!'" In an article about the Seven Days Battles, University of Virginia historian Gary Gallagher wrote, "[The battles] saved Richmond and inspirited a Confederate people buffeted by dismal military news from other theaters. The victory also caused Lee's reputation to shoot upward, beginning the process by which he and his army would emerge, by the late spring of 1863 at the latest, as the principal national rallying point for the Confederate people. " Day is done Not only did the Seven Days Battles play a key role in the outcome of the Civil War, but they also helped produce a lasting musical legacy. At their miserable encampment on Harrison's Landing, Northern soldiers endured crowded, hot, unsanitary conditions. On July 15, one soldier's journal recorded a temperature of 103 in the shade. It was on such a hot July evening that an officer showed his brigade bugler a melody he had sketched on the back of an envelope, asking him to sound it out in place of the "lights out" call that traditionally signaled day's end. According to one version of the story, Union Army Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield was not fond of the standard "lights out"call, which he considered too formal. With the help of brigade bugler Oliver Willcox Norton, Butterfield tinkered with the tune and developed a replacement. Norton, of Erie, Pennsylvania, was the first to sound the new call, which soon spread to both Union and Confederate forces. Not long afterwards, a corporal in Captain John C. Tidball's unit at Harrison's Landing passed away, and Tidball was refused permission (for military reasons) to fire three guns over his grave. Wanting to bury the corporal with full military honors, Tidball had the idea to play Butterfield's call. Within a short time, it was adopted officially by the army for use in military funerals. With only a few modifications, that same haunting bugle call first played at Harrison's Landing – otherwise known as "Butterfield's Lullaby" or "Day is Done" – has come down to us today as "Taps." |
