Information About Frere Jacques
The song is also spelled as "Frere Jaques".
"Frere Jacques" is a famous French nursery melody and is known as "Brother John " in English. According to the earliest known printed version of this song, this song was actually first called Frere Blaise.
Apparently, the song was first recorded in a French manuscript circa 1788 and the words and music weren"t published together until 1866.
There have been more than one potential source of its origin and many different people have been conjectured to be the subject of this song.
It has been suggested that "Fr?re Jacques" might have been written to mock the Dominican monks, known in France as the Jacobin order, for their perceived comfortable lifestyles.

You can get most classics (I think in US cogiyrpht runs out 50yrs after death of author) for free if you look in the right legal places. I download most of my classics from a place called MobileRead, which is also a useful forum. I have a Sony prs 505, but I think you can side load onto a Kindle: not download directly from them but another source using compatible format, onto your computer, then onto the Kindle. More work but saves money. Take a peek at MobileRead for help.

In a big gruff voice you sing 'Daddy crocodile, daddy crocodile (*clap hands in jaws open and shut motion) don't you bite, don't you bite (*waggle finger), I can run away from you, I can run away from you (*pump arms like you're running), out of sight, out of site! (*cover eyes with hands)' Then in a moderate voice you sing 'Mummy crocodile...etc (*do jaw motion with just one hand like a puppet)' and lastly, in a whisper, 'Baby crocodile...etc (*do jaw motion with index finger and thumb in pincer grip)' Actions in brackets (* ) can accompany the lines.

Da Ali G Show is a comedy interview show on HBO. Sacha Baron Cohen, the comedian/actor, plays these different parts and then interviews people in a combination of British English, rap slang, and his own slang. The show has been on HBO for a couple of years, and there was some buzz about Ali G last year that has built up moreso this year.
Then, how do explain assistants and publicists still booking their clients and bosses on the show?
My only answer - revenge. Publicists and assistants are supposed to be plugged into modern culture, into what's new and hip. They know Ali G. They know his show. They know what goes on.
So, maybe it's a karmic revenge for how celebrities treat the assistants and publicists.

UNDP / UNFPA Executive Board : UNDP Strategic Plan and Integrated Budget 2014-2017
Statement by Canada, Germany, Israel, United States and the Netherlands
Thank you Mr. President and thank you Ms. Clark for your opening statements.
I am delivering this statement on behalf of Canada , Germany, Israel, the United States and my own country, the Netherlands.
After a period of intensive exchange of ideas and further refinements, we are pleased to see a comprehensive strategic plan, with theories of change for each outcome and an elaborated and integrated results and resources framework, that are greatly improved when compared with earlier versions. We appreciate the interactive process leading to this document and look forward to continuing consultations in the coming year as work progresses on the results framework to further strengthen the indicators, baselines and targets.
Allow me to make a few comments on the strategic plan, on the integrated results and resources framework, and on the integrated budget.
Strategic Plan
We support the general direction of the new strategic plan and its increased focus on areas of demonstrated expertise and comparative advantage and a limited number of clearly defined outcome areas. We believe it will help UNDP to carry out its mandate as the central and coordinating UN development agency, and achieve greater focus and effectiveness at all levels.
The world has made good headway towards halving poverty, but we cannot ignore the bitter reality of those continuing to live in extreme poverty or conflict. Peace, security and rule of law are key to getting the poorest of the poor out of poverty. In addition, inclusion, participation and gender equality are not only rights but also indispensable for sustainable development and economic growth. Ninety-five percent of disaster fatalities occur in developing countries. It is the poor who live in the most drought, flood and extreme weather prone regions and suffer most when catastrophe occurs.
If we want to eradicate poverty, we need to address these issues. We therefore appreciate the attention in the strategic plan to democratic governance, gender equality, rights, building resilience, disaster risk reduction, early recovery in post conflict and post disaster situations, and transition.
UNDP's areas of work have linkages with other UN organizations, international agencies and banks, civil society and the private sector. In order to avoid duplication and inefficiencies, we urge UNDP to pay systematic attention to coordination and ensure an appropriate division of labor with other actors. In our view, this is especially needed in the work envisaged under outcome area 1 'Growth and development are inclusive and sustainable'. This outcome area remains very broad. It will be important to develop and maintain an informed division of tasks, based on complementarity and institutional and in-country expertise, with other organizations such as the World Bank and UNEP. UNDP has strong added value in the area of governance. With regard to climate adaptation, the added value of UNDP in our view is to give support to the implementation of the governance reforms necessary to build sufficient resilience.
As stated in the Strategic Plan, gender equality is critical to achieving progress on poverty reduction and sustainable development. We welcome the separate outcome on gender equality. We acknowledge the work that has gone into integrating gender equality throughout the areas of work, and we feel this should also be duly reflected in the results framework. In relation to outcome 4 'Faster progress is achieved in reducing gender inequality and promoting women's empowerment' a clear task division with UN Women and UNFPA will be required. We also look forward to UNDP's Gender Equality Strategy, which should be adequately funded, to further elaborate on the gender dimensions of each outcome area in the context of the Strategic Plan.
Secondly, on the results framework
We appreciate the consistent approach towards impact, outcomes and outputs in the results framework. The MDG experience has taught us that using aggregate data based on averages tells us only part of the story, often leaving severe inequalities unexposed. We need disaggregation of data to better identify and address these inequalities and promote equal opportunities. We encourage UNDP to incorporate sex disaggregated indicators, baselines and targets where relevant in order to ensure that gender equality is mainstreamed, and duly reported in all areas, and not just within the specific outcome area on gender.
We expect that, in general, reporting on progress will require considerable efforts and we emphasize that parallel data collection systems should be avoided as much as possible. We appreciate the country office pilot and recommend that UNDP further investigates with country offices possible bottlenecks in data collection systems and suggest developing clear guidelines for data collection and aggregation. Furthermore, in our experience, it is beneficial to provide country offices with an opportunity to "tell their story" so that reporting becomes more than a compulsory counting exercise and provides meaningful input for an analytical narrative that explains UNDP's contributions to change processes.
While we expect the robust results framework to support improved results reporting, we also wish to underline the importance of ensuring strong and independent Audit and Evaluation functions for ensuring accountability and critical feedback and lessons for improving performance.
Thirdly, on the integrated budget
We welcome the increased contribution of other resources to the institutional budget. The agreement reached earlier this year on the new cost recovery policy is an important step towards full cost recovery, proportionally from core and non-core resources, and ending the cross-subsidization of non-core activities from core resources. Like wise, we are pleased to see the decreasing share of management activities in the overall budget and we encourage UNDP to continue its efforts in fostering increased efficiency.
The economic crisis affects program countries, donors and UN agencies. The financial figures in the integrated budget are current estimates and actual funding may therefor require adjustments in due course. Against this background we recommend a prudent but flexible approach to formulating targets and consider the mid-term review an opportunity to make the required adjustments.
We note that some expenditures are still to be covered exclusively through regular resources only. One example is the contribution of UNDP to UN development coordination activities. This in our view does not reflect the principle of full proportionality, neither does it reflect the supportive role of UN coordination for increased effectiveness and efficiency of all UN activities. While accepting this as an interim approach, we feel that it should be revisited in the review of the cost recovery methodology, in 2015.
While we are encouraged to see specific budgets for gender equalit, we are concerned with the amounts allocated. In particular, we are concerned that outcome area 4, dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women, is only allocated 2.7% of the programmatic budget, which translates to 2.4% of the total budget. We expect UNDP to ensure systematic tracking of gender resources allocated to the other six outcome areas, in order to satisfy the requirements of the QCPR.
In our view, the integrated budget document could have provided greater clarity on the allocation of resources to the programmatic components. The additional information provided last week, which also included specifics on the level of resources to be allocated to the important functions of audit, investigation, and evaluation is helpful and crucial for the Board to take an informed decision. We also look forward to more information on the rationale for the lines relating to the Regional and Global windows, and to Development Effectiveness activities. We look forward to engaging with UNDP on the justification for these budget lines based on their performance and fit to the new strategic plan. In this regard we would appreciate to have more information on the structural review, its scope, possible implications and process. A concern is the remaining 10 % of the budget for activities that are not linked to the seven outcome areas. We consider this percentage high and are pleased to have learned that the percentage will be decreasing.
We wish to conclude by reiterating our deep appreciation of the open and collegial manner in which UNDP has developed its strategic plan and budget. We look forward to our continued cooperation and dialogue with UNDP for a successful implementation.
Thank you.

New Ford Ad Shows MRAP
Mike Paczesny | The Rundown Live
As I was browsing Facebook I came across an interesting advertisement.
It was a Ford ad which contains what I believe to be an MRAP in the background.
I found this to be interesting for a number of reasons, including the subtle placement.
Could this just be showing off the power of a good ole' America PowerStroke engine, or is a hidden message?
These types of propaganda have been proven to influence subconscious thought, even implanting thoughts of say 'acceptance'.
Is this another example of the coming fate of America?
Police state style militarization in ads means one thing to me, that's propaganda.
But hey, maybe they just want good ole' boys to think they can tow a MRAP with their SuperDuty.

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
Meijer rejection of Franklin brings out the rosy glasses
It's been said a picture is worth a thousand words. If true, this one's at least a chapter.
A rather glum Franklin mayor Tom Taylor standing in the snow on an all-but vacant lot, marked by a single, boarded-up rundown building is on the cover of the most recent edition of the Milwaukee Business Journal. It's a sad, revealing photo, a final exclamation point on the 9-month Meijer saga that turned out just to be a tease for the many who supported the project.
Sean Ryan opens his Business Journal article:
"Meijer Inc. is the third company in eight years to give up on a Franklin site that offers the rewards of a prime location, but also challenges that have made it a difficult and time-consuming pursuit for the development industry.
"The decision by Meijer raises the question: If major national retailers can't make a go of developing this attractive location, who can?"
Keep that in mind as you read the remainder of this blog.
Eight years. One site. Three failed economic development efforts.
One would read the two above paragraphs and see the above photo and assume Ryan's article (only available online to subscribers) is filled with doom and gloom. Not so. The headline reads, "Land of Opportunity." It could very well have been "Land of Lost Opportunity" and be totally accurate. We are fed the epitome of positive spin.
For a while it appeared with Meijer that Franklin would succeed in spite of itself, its endless hurdles and obstacles and over-regulatory approach to a business climate that isn't just negative. It's clueless.
A Meijer development would move Franklin's collective head out of the sand, out of the 1950's and squarely into the 21st century. We all know what happened.
Now those of us who are frustrated by this major loss are supposed to smile and feel really good. That is, if you read the Business Journal article. Let me sum it up this way. When it comes to blame for what didn't transpire, Franklin gets none. So smile. It's going to get better.
Sorry. My cynical bone doesn't operate that way.
Since the involved parties couldn't bring in Dick Van Dyke to sing, "Put on a Happy Face," enter the property manager for the owner of the land that has turned out to be a three-time loser. According to his spin, because of Meijer's decision not to come here:
1) The "site is more valuable."
2) The city's approval of Meijer's plan is "evidence that it can succeed."
And my personal favorite:
3) "We are better off more than we have ever been."
Spoken like a true spokesman for someone trying to sell a blighted piece of land for $6 million.
Excuse me. I was born at night but I wasn't born last night.
Want more positive spin? Mayor Taylor told the Business Journal there's still hope Meijer will change its mind and come back. Such a position is breathtaking. And we still might get Kohl's headquarters and we still might get Northwestern Mutual Life to expand here and not downtown Milwaukee and the Tooth Fairy might leave my little girl a million dollars.
Another official interviewed by the Business Journal says it would be wrong to assume the wetlands issue was the only issue that led to Meijer dumping Franklin. It wasn't the only issue. There were the usual moaning and whining suspects about lights on at night, and "those" people shopping here, and where the hell to put a driveway. But wetlands was a BIG issue.
The Business Journal points out that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources rejected the Meijer proposal about what to do about wetlands on the site. Four days later, Meijer called Franklin to say thanks, but no thanks. You connect the dots. Bye bye jobs. Bye bye Franklin moving forward.
Franklin has a habit of refusing to take responsibility for the way it does business about business. Maybe the state was the villain this time. Maybe the DNR didn't cooperate. Ditto the state Department of Transportation. But the city was in this dance as well, and it takes two to tango.
The Business Journal writes, "Mayor Tom Taylor and developers confident right project will come." I hope they're right. Franklin's miserable track record on that site leads me to believe otherwise.

Greetings fellow patriots! Houston we have a problem! A big one. I'm located in South Louisina 337. On February 28 a white SUV pulled up to the house with red DHS lettering with Texas plates. (Texas WTH i thought y'all were with us) I saw them pull in the drive an met them outside at their truck 2 agents late 40s-50s. They say Hi we are here doing a survey. One agent pulls out 3 volumes (looked like phone books almost sizewise) He ruffles through the pages in first then second volume. He finds my list (The 1 that they don't have). he says so we are doing a survey and we are going around visiting everyone and trying to verify if you own or still have these firearms. He proceeds to show me my list. Every gun i bought from a dealer is on this list. Every one from 22s to Mosin Nagants and everything in between. I was blown away and still am. Many bricks have been shat since then! I told them nah i don't have any of those dangerous baby killers gave them all away after Newtown. They left but sat parked down the road for a couple hours. Probably coordinating drone strike. I have ony told a couple of close friends i trust. I've been tryng to keep it together. The first person i told also had a visit exactly 2 weeks before me. He ordered a questionable part off the net an that's what the agents told him they were after. He lives 5 minutes down the road. I was freaked then but I didn't think anything of it you know he brought it on himself. Until i got a visit. All my stuff is legal and above board. No worries on that part. But then why did i recieve a visit? I don't know i've been gripped with fear since. Keeping watch on my porch, almost sleeping outside some nights. And then yesterday my wife's friends parents who are an hour north of us got a visit. Only the mom was home and she told them to hit the street. These people are farmers and have guns but mostly Fudd guns and relics passed down. The father was going somewhere on business this weekend and next week. He cancelled. Even the Fudds aren't safe from this. My only solace in all of this is the 3 massive volumes the jackboots had. I know i'm not the only one. I don't know what to do?! It took this long for me to tell somebody else. My wife and i are scared [crap]less!I'm not sure if they are testing the waters seeing who will comply. Or if it's something else entirely. Why down here? Why not in Commiefornia or one of these other liberal dreamlands? I thougt we were good we just voted to strengthen the 2nd in our state. i just keep saying in my head. WTF?
Zot time?
3/15/13 - start date
In before the Zot, troll. Cue Viking Kittehs in 5... 4... 3...
We've got a live one here!
Would have US Govt plates if from DHS.
Would have had wide diagonal blue stripe on the side of the white vehicle if DHS.
Not DHS.
Wow, joined today to tell us your problems? You voted for your Senator. I'm sure she had something to do with it. In the meantime,keep lookin up.
0/10. Nice touch, lol.
I see you joined FR just today. Welcome, you're obviously full of crap and anyone who reads your nonsense will know it.
Will it be this time??? ... IBTZ!
"No Tinfoil Needed", OK how about some PARAGRAPHS! Or did you FAIL that part of School.
Gee, sounds like they are on to you. Send me all your guns and ammo and I'll keep them safe.
If you were a real freeper you would have told them you lost all your guns in the boating accident.
Must be one of Big Sis's ideas to have someone trolling FR to see who responds. Go away, amateurs.
for later
He doan need no stinkin' tinfoil, he got kryptonite.
Kinda scary that you got this passed the Mods, Zotbait.
We may have a new home over here....
I call bull. Too many things wrong with this. DHS vehicles would have government plates, the logos aren't in red, all government agencies use tablets or laptops now, they wouldn't be lugging around big books, etc, etc.
Either you have some pals of yours punking you or you are a BS artist trying to stir up trouble.
lol Viking kittens.
There's enough holes in this story to drive a freightliner through. Trolling or seeding is is my guess.
"i just keep saying in my head. WTF?"
Maybe it wasn't you saying it, maybe it was the "other" voices in your head you freakin MORON.
Got pictures of your Mosin Nagant? What model is it? Is it a semi auto or do you have the full auto kit?
The "Fudds" got far more on the ball that you ever will.
Oh man! This is really scary! You should be scared! I would be scared if I were you!
Not to mention, does your Mosin have a 100 round clip?
What model Mosin is it? Do you have the AR-47-Glock Mosin?
For your UT consideration...
"I told them nah i don't have any of those dangerous baby killers gave them all away after Newtown."
Ya started ok.. and then lost me right there...
Baby killers??!!?
Beware the Ides of ZOT...
Not only was that authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.
Liar Liar pants on fire.
It's just a liberal idiot posting a prank story trying to get his jollies
I'm sorry but for a cajun.. you sound like a wuss. I'm so scared and WTF? IBTZ.
I thought we already had the OFST today.
Oh well. Kitty is amused.
I'd be interested to see how quickly the federalies leave...or try to get stinky about it.
Same exact thing happened to me!
Right down to the Texas license plates, the DHS lettering—I think it might even have been the same two guys!
I gotta say, this gun & violence & public safety business has been a-weighing on me too, and as they stood there I had a moment of clarity.
They were right! I've been wrong! Obama is king!
Hell, I opened my gun safe and the couple of false panels in my shop, and I gave them everything! Every last weapon, every last cartridge and shotshell, all my cleaning supplies-—I even threw in the gun safe!
You can't imagine the weight off my shoulders. Free at last! Free at last! Now I don't ever have to worry about accidental discharges, or theft, or about these poor overworked government agents ever having to come to my house again!
I don't even have to worry about untimely boating mishaps no more!
I used to own some baby killers but someone told me slavery is wrong so I let them go.
Tell me, what made you decide we are all your new, trustworthy friends?
Is this Undead Thread fodder?
I'm confuzzled.

Bruce Drake Coach
Inducted in 2006
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee 1973
Bruce Drake played forward and guard at the University of Oklahoma and after graduating became assistant coach at Oklahoma, then head coach in 1938. Coach Drake led his undersized Oklahoma Sooners (known as the "Roundball Runts") to consistent winning seasons. Employing a ball-control weaving offense known as the "Drake Shuffle", his teams captured six Big Six titles in his 17 seasons. Three of Drake's "Runts" became All-Americans, and five became Olympians. Drake led Oklahoma to three NCAA tournaments in 1939, 1943 and 1947. After leaving Oklahoma following the 1954-55 season, he coached the U.S. Air Force team to the armed services championship. He conducted basketball clinics all over the world, was a leading proponent of goaltending, and chaired the NCAA Rules Committee for five years.

"I think these sneakers are a little narrow but as with most sneakers, they should be roomy for you to wear socks with. Overall, the sneakers does its job if you need something simple as you do beginner exercises. They are comfy so what more can I ask for!"

"These shoes are way cuter than the pictures (I got the light grey with bright pink accents) and they are SO comfortable-like barely there slippers. As light as they are, they have been very comfortable to walk in, although, admittedly, I haven't had a chance to wear them that much yet. They are somewhat narrow (I don't have wide feet), but to me they run true to width since there are no thick seams or heavy fabric to leave room for around your foot. If you have wide feet they might not be for you. I would say buy your regular athletic shoe size (which for me, and I think most people, is 1/2 size larger than your street shoe size). They are my new faves and I look forward to wearing them a lot!"

Comfort and fashion!
"A great look! Very lightweight on the feet, but comfortable enough to wear for working-out and then the rest of the day. Works well with jeans, yoga pants, or shorts. Choosing one color was very difficult...I may order more! The standard shipping option was quicker than the estimated time of delivery. :)"

I AM OSCAR MIKE from OSCAR MIKE on Vimeo.
If there's one thing we're always up for supporting, it's our military. C'mon. It's a no-brainer. We're veterans and we know what veterans have sacrificed for this country. So, when we heard about The Oscar Mike Foundation, we couldn't wait to do our part to help this amazing cause.
The Oscar Mike Foundation is a charitable apparel line and foundation founded by a former U.S. Marine named Noah Currier. Now, Noah is an amazing guy. After a tragic accident left him paralyzed, Noah went on to found this organization, which is completely supported by veterans. The mission? Use comfortably engineered materials, better fitting apparel, and fresh designs to build a powerhouse military clothing brand that's designed to help disabled veterans.
Today, the Oscar Mike Foundation is a proud supporter of Paralyzed Veterans of America and Disabled American Veterans. Its hallmark is an extensive veterans apparel line that's designed to take military clothing to a whole new level. These military t-shirts and sweatshirts feature fresh designs that stay true to the organization and our military. The best part is that 10% of the proceeds from the sale of any Oscar Mike Foundation t-shirt, sweatshirt, or item goes directly to The Oscar Mike Foundation, which uses 100% of its donations to help disabled veterans. This is more than looking good in military apparel. This is about doing good – real good – with made in the USA clothing by veterans. That's right. Not made overseas. Made in America – with quality in mind.
Patriot Surplus is the only authorized distributor of Oscar Mike Foundation apparel besides the foundation itself. We are proud and excited to work with Noah and his foundation as we offer service members, veterans, and their supporters high-quality clothing that honors our own. To shop the selection and help disabled veterans, just visit our Oscar Mike Foundation Apparel brand page.

Asheville's proximity, snuggled into the Blue Ridge Mountains, provides guests to this Asheville Bed and Breakfast easy access via car and no shortage of opportunities to see the rolling landscape from the crest of the mountains that run primarily southwest – northeast. North on the Blue Ridge Parkway: Craggy Gardens and Mount Mitchell. A short drive north from Asheville (24 miles from downtown) will take you up about 3,000 feet in elevation to Craggy Gardens and their Visitor Center (where you can pick up a trail map) with great views to the east and to the west. There is a large picnic area and a short hike to the top of Craggy Pinnacle. Continue north on the Parkway for nine miles and turn left onto N.C. 128 to Mount Mitchell State Park. This peak, the highest east of the Mississippi River, provides 360 degree sweeping views. In addition to expansive views, the Park offers an observation tower, hiking trails, picnic areas, a natural history museum and a restaurant. You can return to Asheville via the same route.
South on the Blue Ridge Parkway: Mount Pisgah and Graveyard Fields. Drive south on the Parkway for a gradual climb with lots of tunnels and beautiful vistas. About 15 miles from Asheville is Mount Pisgah, a favorite hiking and picnic spot. The Pisgah Inn there offers good food and views from 5,000 feet in their restaurant that is open from April-October. Continue another 10 miles to Graveyard Fields (another popular hiking spot). Just before Graveyard Fields are great views of Looking Glass Rock. Return the same route back if you want a leisurely return or drop off the Parkway via Rt. 276 to Brevard (stopping for ice cream before taking Rt. 180 back toward I-26 and Asheville.
Cold Mountain Loop
This approximately 85-mile loop drive is a beautiful, hilly, curvy drive through a very rural area around Cold Mountain, made famous by the novel and major motion picture. From Asheville, travel south on the Blue Ridge Parkway. To view the famous peak, stop at Cold Mountain overlook at Milepost 411.9. (The views from the overlook are spotty with overgrown trees blocking most of the view. For the best view, go to the Wagon Gap Road Parking area at Milepost 412.2. Then walk back north on the Parkway a short distance.) At Milepost 423.2, take N.C. Highway 215 north for 13 miles. If you want to drive an extra 8 miles roundtrip to go to the base of the hiking trail, turn right onto Little East Fork Road. Views of the mountain here are very limited. Back at N.C. 215, continue for 5 miles. N.C. 215 will turn into Highway 110. Continue 5.3 miles. In Canton, turn right onto U.S. Highway 19/23 north. Turn left onto Church Street, and right on Newfound Road. Go 1.6 miles to I-40 East to return to Asheville.
Black Mountain Rag to Chimney Rock
Take exit 64 off Interstate 40 at Black Mountain to follow the Black Mountain Rag, a scenic route named for an old fiddle tune about the dark green Lauada Firs that give the Black Mountains their name. In musical terms, a "rag" is a tune with multiple twists and curves up and down the scales. This scenic route twists and turns through the mountains like the music itself. Coming from Asheville, turn right off the exit ramp at Black Mountain and follow N.C. 9 south towards Bat Cave. The road winds along the Rocky Broad River, joining Hickory Nut Creek near the intersection of U.S. 64, U.S. 74 and N.C. 9 at Bat Cave. Turn left and follow N.C. 9/ U.S. 64 east to the village of Chimney Rock. At Chimney Rock Park you can drive to the top of the Chimney overlooking Hickory Nut Gorge. Continue past Chimney Rock to see beautiful Lake Lure. Turn around at Lake Lure and head back. Instead of returning via N.C. 9 in Bat Cave, follow signs for U.S. 74 back to Asheville.
Our beautiful Pinecrest Bed and Breakfast in Asheville is close to everything you want to do and see this fall! For details and reservations at our inn visit www.Pinecrestbb.com.

This Summer, Spread the Sunscreen
Join SLU Health News on Facebook to SHARE the message
Help remind your friends and family to wear sunscreen every day and encourage them to join you in committing to this healthy habit. Over the next several weeks, visit SLU Health News on Facebook for tips from SLU dermatologist Dr. Michelle Tarbox about protecting your skin and SHARE them to spread the message.
ST. LOUIS -- The data is in and there's no question: We should wear sunscreen to protect our skin and dramatically reduce our risk for developing skin cancer.
While the message is clear, we have endless reasons that keep us from adopting the cancer-preventing health habit. We forget, the lotion is expired, too sticky or we aren't sure what kind to buy. Sometimes we're not clear about the extent of sun damage under the skin's surface or we're not aware of how much sun exposure we get each day, even while driving in the car.
According to the American Cancer Society, more than 1 million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year. As many as one in five Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime.
Michelle Tarbox, M.D. a SLUCare dermatologist and assistant professor of dermatology at SLU, will share tips on SLU Health News to help tackle the obstacles that may be keeping you from adopting this simple healthy habit. For example, Tarbox suggests setting the sunscreen bottle next to your toothbrush so you'll see it each morning. Soon, applying it will be as automatic as brushing your teeth.
This summer, commit to wearing sunscreen every day. Your skin will thank you and by September you'll have established a life-long habit that will cut your risk of skin cancer, keep years off your appearance as you age, and allow you to enjoy the outdoors in a healthy way.
Read about the success of skin cancer screening at this year's "Race for the Cure."

Skip to comments.Iraqis stage mass anti-US rally
Posted on 10/18/2008 12:29:18 PM PDT by austrian
Supporters of Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr have staged a mass demonstration in Baghdad in protest against plans to extend the US mandate in Iraq.
An estimated 50,000 protesters chanted slogans such as "Get out occupier!".
Iraqi and US negotiators drafted the deal after months of talks but it still needs approval from Iraq's government.
Under the agreement US troops would withdraw by 2011, and Iraq would have the right to prosecute Americans who commit crimes while off-duty.
The UN mandate for US-led coalition forces expires at the end of this year. About 144,000 of the 152,000 foreign troops deployed there are US military personnel.
Political battle
Chanting slogans and waving banners, tens of thousands of Shias, mainly young men, marched on the eastern suburb of Sadr City towards the centre of Baghdad. The BBC's Jim Muir in Baghdad says Moqtada Sadr's militant opposition to the US presence has strong grassroots support among many Shias - and this was a physical manifestation of that opposition.
He says leaders of the 30-strong Sadr bloc in the Iraqi parliament will have expressed that rejection at a meeting of Iraq's Political Council for National Security late on Friday.
The meeting of top political leaders and the heads of parliamentary factions was convened to discuss the draft agreement covering the US military presence after its mandate expires.
No decisions were taken but the Council is to meet again to hear back from military experts on what is a very complex and detailed document.
Our correspondent says its passage through parliament may follow naturally if it is approved by the Council, but this is by no means assured and a tough political battle is already shaping up.
In Washington, US defence chief Robert Gates has been courting support for the deal from key members of Congress...
(Excerpt) Read more at news.bbc.co.uk ...
I wonder if Al Sadr is looking at the American Presidential polls and betting that help is on the way from Obama?
There fixed it.
This will be the only Iraq story to make the news today.
i guess iraq is a No win situatian right now. if the troops stay they will be seen more and more as occupiers. if they leave civil war will break out
No question at all.
Guaranteed. The last thing islamo facist want is McCain elected.
Exactly. This is the Obama effect kicking in early.
"i guess iraq is a No win situatian right now. if the troops stay they will be seen more and more as occupiers. if they leave civil war will break out"
Iraq became a no-win situation when we decided to nation-build with our military instead of doing what our military does best.
They should have started, on day one, to shoot looters on the spot. That would have made an enormous difference in the entire relationship.
snip "An estimated 50,000 protesters chanted...."
50,000? In whose estimate? I don't believe any numbers these people put forward.
Show me an aerial photograph.
Where are the pix of Green Helmet Guy and Saddam's old information minister?
hit the link to the bbc page.
there is a short video of the protests
Why have we not gotten Mookie yet....?
"They should have started, on day one, to shoot looters on the spot. That would have made an enormous difference in the entire relationship."
It would have been a good idea, to be sure, but in the end, it's the whole concept of nation-building - that somehow, some way (and with enough money) we can pull an Arab democracy out of a camel's @ss.
"Iraq would have the right to prosecute Americans who commit crimes while off-duty."
Just before our troops submit to sharia law, Hillary will sign on as a `Victoria's Secret' model.
My question exactly. (Well, not quite. My language was a little more um, colorful...?)
Iraqis stage mass anti-US rally
Some Iraqis stage mass anti-US rally
There. That's better.
STFU, Sadr and your little Iranaian thugs. Go back to Iran where you belong.
Some Iraqis stage mass anti-US rally
There. Thats better.
Here, I'll take it one step further.
A few Iraqis and a bunch of Iranian scumbags stage mass anti-US rally.
Thank you.
That is MUCH more accurate.
"if the troops stay they will be seen more and more as occupiers"
They, the U.S. troops will always be less than desirable to those, like the radical Shia militia leader Sadr, who want to use violence to pressure others to bend to their way.
Your statement serves only such people, because it telescopes their excuses about the American troops into a national sentiment - which it isn't.
Even in Sadr City, the U.S. troops are in joint patrols with the Iraqi forces.
Sadr will always have complaints and will always use the U.S. forces as his excuse. It's in his political DNA with his ties to Iran.
So, my question is, why do YOU parrot his excuse????
Opps. I thought this thread was about the rally in St. Louis today.
I was going to ask if someone could post the picture of the StL rally on this thread...
He knows for certain that he will get the help if 0bama is elected.
Are you still in country?
Give us the low down.
"..Hillary will sign on as a `Victorias Secret model."
Underwear or bathing suits?
"Iraq became a no-win situation when we decided to nation-build..."
It is my understanding that after running off the bad guys we helped them build schools, hospitals, infrastruture and arranged for them to hold free elections.
Presently, we are helping them maintain a relatively stable countryside. Relative, for instance, to Los Angeles County and its gangs.
We have a large number of unannounced accomplishments, including the opening of ur military facilities to treat the disproportionate rate of diseases and congenital defects suffered by their children due to Saddam's toxic environment.
Perhaps you can give us a few examples of the disadvantages of using our military to nation build.
Give us the low down.
Say "please." :)
A lot of the Mehdi Army is made up of Iranians. Not Iraqis who were trained in Iran (although there are some of those, too), but America-hating, mullah-worshiping trash from Iran.
Iran hates this democracy. They hate that Iraq is free. They know there's not much they can do about it other than stir up people in the streets about this security agreement and even that's being largely ignored.
I doubt they'll even start launching their stupid mortars and rockets at us again like they did this past spring, since they had their asses royally kicked for that.
So, they're just making some whiney noise with these stupid demonstrations they have here on Fridays. They've been doing this; for some reason the media is just now cluing into it.
You've got it right.
"Occupiers out! Occupiers out! Muqtada al-Sadr! Muqtada al-Sadr! Muqtada al-Sadr! Long live IRAN!!"
I really don't think Obama is that stupid. He'll wait until after the election (IF he is elected) to give that speach.
Err...that was humor.
Thank you!
You are a jewel!
Now that's sad.
I know. I wish my post was.
Has Obama/ACORN been talking to Sadr?
"Perhaps you can give us a few examples of the disadvantages of using our military to nation build."
I do not mean any disrespect to you, but if you truly must ask this question, you truly do not understand the nature of warfare, or the soldiers that engage in it.
I will give you this opinion: Iraqi's are not worth the money or lives that we have spent on them in futile pursuit of an impossible pipe dream of an Arab democracy.
Your first statement is extremely reckless in light of the fact you know nothing of my background.
Further, that was not a question, it was an invitation intended to help you support your no-win assertion; an invitation you apparently wish to avoid.
Your second statement appears to be an attempt to change the issue. It reminds me of the liberals who are squealing that Joe the Plumber is unlicensed.
In total, your response indicates to me there is nothing to be gained by continuing this discussion.
"Your first statement is extremely reckless in light of the fact you know nothing of my background."
Ok Rambo, why don't you tell me your background? If you think our military is for nation-building, then you are completely misguided. If you think that, you may also be our commander-in-chief, but that's another discussion.
Sorry. It was. It was late at night my time and my brain was entering "dead" phase. :)
"Occupiers out! Occupiers out! Muqtada al-Sadr! Muqtada al-Sadr! Muqtada al-Sadr! Long live IRAN!!"
No. I mean I wish I WAS joking (okay, I was joking, but the more I think about it - it isn't a joke). Obama will wait until after he is elected (IF he is) to say this. Maybe not in so many words, but he will.
"As can be seen by the majority of Iraqis - and Americans, they want the U.S. occupation army out, and that is what we will do. The Occupation of Iraq is over".
"al-Sadr, the popular leader of the Province, has agreed to meet with us regarding a coalition leadership in Iraq. This is a huge step forward in bringing all leaders into the process of rebuilding Iraq" (shoot - I think President Bush practically said this a long time ago making a brief treaty with Sadr for awhile!?)
"Iran's quest for clean and efficent Nuclear Energy is a noble quest. By the U.S. providing them with Uranium and technology, we can not only make sure that these materials are going to civilian programs, but we can can bring Iran into the fold of our friendship. And rather than be enemies, we can both fight together our common enemy of Global Warming".
(Okay - that bit about the global warming was over the top. The rest wasn't - at least not for Obama.)
LOL, that's even better and much more accurate!....
In this particular case, it was the right thing to do. Every conflict is different.
We went to war against a regime, not the nation's people. One of the many reasons for doing so was to establish a strong and stable ally in a very volatile and dangerous region.
In order to do that, it was incumbent upon us to stabilize the country. Leaving it in smoldering ruins would have given Iran a much larger territory from which to operate. Since the war drew a large contingent of al Qaeda into the country, it was almost like a two-fer. While the reconstruction of the nation has been underway, there has always been concurrent combat action, and the enemy has been engaged far from U.S. shores. The battles only abated earlier this year, allowing the reconstruction to really get going. We are doing it now with Iraqi funds, by the way.
This is not a no-win situation by any stretch. This is a very successful operation and the media has managed to conceal that from the American people for the most part.
Think the financial backers of this rally want Obama as President? A way of helping Obama without having to donate directly to his campaign?
"We went to war against a regime, not the nation's people. One of the many reasons for doing so was to establish a strong and stable ally in a very volatile and dangerous region."
You and I have gone 'round before on this. I appreciate your view on-the-spot. This is a noble goal, quixotically so. There is very little likelihood of us having a strong and stable ally in Iraq. They will be an islamic state. Republicans will blame a democratic congress or Obama, if elected for the failure, but in the end, nation building does not work in the third world - and that is the reason why it will fail. We don't have enough time, money, or patience to force them into the first world. Their third world corruption, cronyism, and incompetence stands in the way.

As Harrisburg gears up for its 11th quarterfinal appearance in the IHSA football playoffs, the Bulldogs are hoping all their gears are good to go.
After clicking on all cylinders for the past two weeks in the playoffs, Harrisburg gets another home game Saturday when they take on Alton-Marquette at 2 p.m. at Taylor Field.
A win against the Explorers would be Harrisburg's sixth semifinal appearance, either taking on Rochester or Peoria Notre Dame next week with a trip on the line for Harrisburg to make it's fourth state appearance in the championship game, with the last one coming in 2000, a season in which Harrisburg was in Class 3A.
Alton-Marquette comes in at 10-1 and winners of nine in a row. The lone loss came in week two at home to Quincy Notre Dame.
Based out of Madison County, the Explorers come in averaging over 47 points a game on offense, something that head coach Jason Roper knows will be key to containing.
"Defense wins championships and so far our defense has been really good," he said. "They don't throw the ball much, but they run the ball a lot out of the spread."
Roper added that a big part of Alton-Marquette's offense is designed around the option. A particular type of offense they haven't seen much of this year, but with three talented running backs, Roper is well aware of how important tackling and wrapping up will be.
"They get in some formations that are a jet or wildcat look, where it allows them to use the speed they have. It will be a challenge for our defense. We have to tackle well, that has to be one of the biggest keys. We have to take good angles."
When it comes to defense, no one has been better in southern Illinois than Harrisburg.
The Bulldogs are giving up an average of 14.9 points per game and haven't allowed more than 48 in a week three loss to Marion. Since then, Harrisburg has surrendered no more than 25, in a 28-25 Week 4 win at Murphysboro.
The Bulldogs are plus-13 in turnovers this year, recovering 13 fumbles, while losing nine and picking off 11 interceptions, while throwing just two.
Brandon Pate leads the defense with three interceptions, while Logan Hartley and Cooper Thompson both have two and Dakota Upchurch, Capel Henshaw, Just Younger and Daniel Lewis each have one.
"Every offense we see poses some kind of different problem," Roper said of the 11 teams Harrisburg has played this far. "You have to have flexibility in your defense to cover multiple formations and multiple fronts.
"(Alton-Marquette) can do a lot of different things and fortunately our kids being able to adjust on the fly to a lot of those things without adjusting personnel. That's been one of the keys to our defense."
Page 2 of 2 - As good as the Bulldogs' defense has been, the offense has been as efficient.
The Bulldogs, coming into Saturday, are averaging 29.2 points per game have amassed 3,728 total yards of offense, with 3,047 of that on the ground.
Dylan Hathaway comes in as Harrisburg's top rusher with 26 carries for 1,498 yards and 20 touchdowns.
Roper said that despite some nicks and bruises, the Bulldogs come into Saturday with no one missing action due to injury.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
If you're burned out then just play other genres of games until you get the itch to return.
Personally, I'm not feeling MMOs and if I play anything it will be GW2 which is what I played last. As a LOTRO lifer I will eventually buy the ROR quest pack for my free points and then quit once I hit the cap.
I'm more likely to be playing LOL, TL2 or sport sims than an MMO. Actually, I've gone back to reading for a while and skipping games.
I'd go with any asian mmorpg.
Tera got wester-rapenized but I think there's still hope for other titles.
Blade & Soul will be great contender (being #2 in korea at the moment) unless they wester-rapenize it aswell.
FFXIV : ARR is probably the best choice for people who are bored with the western mmo's, since it's pretty much maintained and created in asian (japanese) standards and having global service it will not have difference in the versions. It's the asian mmorpg that will stay Asian.

FIFA Soccer 13's coming out Sep 25th... but if soccer's not your thing, there's The Testament of Sherlock Holmes too.
Hmmm... Those may be pretty good, but I'm looking for a good MMO. A very good MMO and it has to be released on the 25th.
Rift is the best themepark out right now and the expansion will only solidify that title.

Rift is a great game but overall find GW2 a much better game overall.. seems poll shows others agree but honestly OP if you are burned out on themeparks or MMOs in general there's no point in really forcing yourself into one. Perhaps give borderlands 2 a shot to kill some time?
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

swtor of course,
Swtor is my main game of all times, only one that was able to move long years king Wow in my heart to very close 2nd position (or at best would say they share trone :-)), ... but have been playing without interruptions swtor for 7 to 8 months, something never ever happend in past with any game. But to keep interest fresh I think some detour from time to time is a must. And I like also other games and want to try. Even if one love pizza, can not eat pizza for years and years and 6 times per day and still having a blast. At least short break is mondatory.
After MOP I guess will go back to Rift, but maybe will stay for some time with GW2 which is imo one of the best releases ever.
Ultima, AO, EQ, ... ye, they were fun. At THAT time. As there was time I had a blast with pacman even before PC era. But that was at that time. Pacman no longer apeal to me. Have great memories about, but now is the past. Same for EQ & co. It sims pretty silly to say ... wow, pacman (eq, ultima, ...) is best game of all times. But to some maybe it is. Have hard times to understand, but ...
Final Fantasy 14 and Vanguard are wayyyyy laggy. Ultima Online and Minecraft have ugly graphics. Sims 2 is cheap (thru Amazon.com), has awesome graphics, is completely customizable, but is not an online multiplayer. I mention it because Sims 2 is what I've chosen to play until something better comes. GW2 cost to much and looks like themepark which everyone is bored of now. Eve Online and SWOTR are space games which don't jive with fantasy freaks (unicorns, elves, dwarves, alluring mermaidens).
Basically there is nothing to play until Otherland or ArcheAge gets here and I'm betting ArcheAge has lag issues as well.
This thread is more like popularity contest, than anything else. So I kinda jump in.
I'd go for The Secret World, there's 3 days trial availble (plus, if you manage to make 30 quests in 3 days, you get extra 2 days of trial and 1200 points for cashshop goodies).
Despite whatever fancy stuff OP is looking for, please just go for trial. This game has proven to me that people judge it completly different than I expected them to. Usually, in positive way. This is a game with quite stable better positive reviews from users than from critics, which is very rare these days. So, this game kinda makes players happy. I haven't seen that one since few hyped game releases.
Of course, TSW is a bit of aquired taste. But you have to try it first, while most people just go with people's opinion - usually negative ones as they stand out more.
Well.... I think this Thread is really hitting it. He's right.. If you think about it. Don't you think this might be why you feel burnt out on MMO's? Because I too feel like I am, kind of.

Even though there are a few that want to bash GW2 it appears the community has spoken pretty loud so far.
