Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial Project, Inc.
Our Country's Premier Manned Veterans Park
Our Mission Is Healing & Education
A Place For All Of Us
The history of The Highground is described best by the man who started it all, Tom Miller:
"I really began this Project many years ago, in 1964, while serving in the 2nd Bn/7th Marines in California. This is where I met my partner, Jack Swender. Jack was from Kansas City, Kansas.
We landed in Qui Nhon, Vietnam on the 7th of July, 1965. We soon set up our battalions headquarters. It was located 15 miles west of that beautiful city in what was once an old French artillery base during the early 1950's. Set off the road, there were huge pits dug into the ground about 5 feet deep. These pits ended up being internment camps for suspected Vietcong.
The final day came as many came in Vietnam: gray, overcast, heavy-aired, with drizzle, but very quiet. If you want an in depth writing on what happened that day, see Solid Contact for 2/7. We had slept in dirty water, 5" deep, just a few nights before and we were soaked to the bones. We smelled and we were tired to say the least. Some small contact was made during the morning. We had just finished lunch in a hut and were moving through a small market hamlet named Ky Phu, when the 80th Battalion of hard-core Vietcong hit us. We were cut in to two groups with Jack and I being at the end of the first group.
Tom and Rose Marie Miller
Overlooking the Meditation Garden
We didn't have to communicate to each other the fact that we had to hold the town from being overran by the Vietcong as they were trying to move a 50 caliber machine-gun into the middle of it. We held them off for I would say 15 - 20 minutes before a recoilless rifle shell blew apart the rear wall of the house we were in. I like to think and I do believe that our action saved many Marines their lives that day, although it did cost Jack his.
I believe it is needless to say that the day that Jack died in my arms was the saddest day in my life. One grows to love another when they are that close. In late 1983, I again picked up the drive to produce our memorial. The mood of America had changed and I had come in contact with a group of Vietnam veterans (Vietnam Veterans of America - Wisconsin delegation). Through them, the outstanding network needed to produce this Project could be developed. It wasn't until late 1984 that people started to believe that I was really going to do something and then they slowly fell into place and supported the Project."
And so it began.
The Highground has evolved to be a memorial park that pays tribute to the dead, and honors the survivors, their service, and their sacrifices. It also pays tribute to the people who supported them when they were away and upon their return.
Today, The Highground has tributes to Vietnam Veterans, Women Veterans, the Native American Vietnam Veterans, WWI Veterans, WWII Veterans, Korean Veterans and families that supported and lost loved ones through the Gold Star Tribute and Fountain of Tears. In addition, The Highground has a Dove Effigy Mound, A United In Service Tribute, a Meditation Garden, a developmental forest with 4 miles of hiking trails and a Learning Center.
We will continue to pursue our mission of healing and education through added tours, Educational Days, Diversity Day and various expos.
The Highground, once a field with a beautiful view, has grown into a wonderful park encompassing that view, adding to the Spirit of The Highground.

You know, the thing about LAMEbook is that the posts generally portray the LAMEst of facebook.
Lamebook tag line : The funniest and lamest of lamebook. They didn't call it funnybook. It's SUPPOSED to be lame.
Quit complaining.

bradles, I have some arse-munching, limp-wristed, anus-fisting gay mates who would be offended by you lumping them in with the authors of these pathetic attempts at humour.
Keep 'em comin. I like these timelines, esp that last one.
EliteNoob March 3rd, 2012 at 8:15 am
Urrrgh, MORE timelines? God its getting boring round here.
stubbyholder March 3rd, 2012 at 10:36 am
@jed7, you fucking retard. You said that the tag line was FUNNIEST AND LAMEST of Facebook, so yeah, bring the fucking funny would you?
It didn't say FUNNIEST OR LAMEST it said AND… so I expect posts to be funny AND lame, even if the humour is somehow buried in the lamosity…
… and there are no flags in these timelines… luckily I have that picture of flags from a few days ago tucked away in my mental toss archive. Flags make me hard.

The first one would have been better without the text. You'd be like, "ok, Tony Montana, shooting Lionel Richie, I don't get why th… oh, ha, I get it! That's kind of clever". If you have to explain the joke, it stops being funny.
The other two suck. They're just "hey, look at me putting my face on something else". At least the first guy was trying.
ToTheFlames March 4th, 2012 at 2:10 am
So , did the world not know of PhotoShop before FB timelines? Humour will slowly fade if all this bullshit on facebook continues.
freddy2 March 4th, 2012 at 5:26 am
Bacchante likes anal fisting. In other news, these timelines suck.
Bacchante March 4th, 2012 at 5:09 pm
It's your delicate hands that I like, freddy. Small-boned and slender, like a teenage girl's.

this was pretty funny. You guys need to calm down.

Whew, that felt good. Bacchante, thanks for noticing my lady like palms. That $100 for manipedi didn't go waste. -

What the hell is that second one? Is that a flying Space Pop-Tart with a cat's tail crapping out a rainbow? That's grotesque enough as it is without that dude Photoshopping his head on it.
beatusmongous March 5th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
^ It's Nyan Cat, and it's pure evil.
^did I miss a memo?
The one which stated that the new definition of 'pure evil' is 'a mildly irritating and wholly forgettable 2nd rate meme'?

An Old Photo of Harvey D. Monroe
Back in October of 2012, a cousin of mine gave me some copies of some old photos she has,
of which I posted the other day. This is another one she had. It is of my great great grandfather, Harvey Dennis Monroe, husband of Olive Feener. The date of the photo is unknown. I presume the location of this photo to be Massachusetts, probably in Brockton on the outside of his home. Harvey died Jan. 8, 1948.

washer stops in the middle of washing cycle
Model Number: wtw6200vw0 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 1 - 5 years
My Whirpool washer "Cabrio agi" model # wtw6200vw0 stops in the middle of the washing cycle. For testing, I selected the shortest cycle which is 30 minutes. When start button is pressed the water supply works fine as I hear the water dispensing into the tank and also hear the agitator and motor operating as they should, but when the timer reaches 24 minutes left to complete the cycle, the washer stops and I hear a loud buzzing noise apparently coming from the solenoid valves, then after 10 minutes or so, the "LF" code starts flashing as well as every LED in the panel around the selection knob. At this point, I stop the cycle and select the "drain and spin" cycle to evacuate the water, which also works fine. I disassembled the entire washer including both pumps, motor, agitator, and top cover and every single hose, looking for obstructions or kinks, also the filter is clean and I didn't find any objects between the basket and the tank, the lock latch also works fine. After assembling back the washer, I tried to run some tests as described in the owner sheet "test #2" on sheet 2 (Press any button for 3 seconds and release for 3 seconds.....etc.) with no success. Using a multimeter, I checked the resistances on connectors P1 and P2 and they check okay. Then I purchased the Electronic Control Board thinking that is faulty but it is doing the same thing, so i replaced the old one back. Please help.......Thank you Related Models |

Well darn, I would have bet good money it was the control unit.
About the only thing I can think of is the rotor position sensor Part number: AP4539632 but you will have to replace it to test that theory. If you buy from this site and the part does not fix the problem you can return it.

No luck after replacing suspected parts
Thanks again |
Okay like you I am just about at a complete loss, not for the first time on these models.
At this point I would recommend changing out the lid lock assembly. Why? Because other than the motor, machnine/motor control board and RPS part I cannot think of any other component that would cause the machine to stop operating. Again I can only say that if you buy from this site you can return the part, so all you are going to be out is your time and shipping costs.

Okay, after some more research forget the door lock thing, it was an uneducated guess anyway.
The 24 minute time on this model is the time the machine sets for the Rinse and Spin cycle. It appears what your machine is trying to do is to go into the Rinse and Spin cycle, and that it is then trying to let water in to start that process. But since water is already in, nothing happens for a while and you get the LF error message. Changing the machine control unit should have fixed this, but since it didn't and since you have changed out the valve assembly I am now wondering if there is a wiring issue. The next think I think you should do is to start from the beginning with an empty washer, set the machine on Rinse and Spin and see what happens. Also, make certain the pressure tube is clear, although since it fills correctly for the wash cycle that would not seem to be the problem. Good luck, let us know what you learn.

24 min
Its at 24 min the normal cycle goes into drain mode. I have had Thais happen twice. First time a pair of t backs were lodged in the pump. Bottom right side as if your looking at the front of the machine. The second time one of the wires came out of the connector. Both very Eazy repairs if you are mechanically inclined.

We propose to establish a Johns Hopkins (JHU) Clinical Trial Unit (CTU) with three affiliated Clinical Research sites (CRS): two in Kampala, Uganda, and one in Manning, China. The proposed CTU structure includes joining of two CTU leaderships and clinical research sites with outstanding performance over the past grant cycle. The successful performance includes high enrollment of over 3700 participants and retention rates between 83% and 97%;a consistent track record as the leader of network scientific contributions;and successful conduct of high priority HIV Prevention and Therapeutic clinical trials within three of the current NIH HIV Clinical Trial Networks. The Johns Hopkins Kampala -Nanning (K-N) CTU proposal will be led by two PD/PIs, Professors Mary Glenn Fowler and Brooks Jackson, who have worked collaboratively in various roles over the past 22 years to conduct clinical trials on HIV prevention and HIV therapeutics and its complications. This CTU will have its central administrative base at JHU in Baltimore, MD and will conduct the network HIV clinical protocols at two CRSs in Kampala, Uganda and one CRS in Nanning, China. 1. The Makerere U. Johns Hopkins U. Research Collaboration (MU-JHU) CRS will be affiliated with a) the Clinical Research Network for HIV/AIDS and HIV associated Infections in Pediatric and Maternal Populations focusing on PMTCT and treatment of HIV infected infants and young children;b) the Network on Integrated Strategies to Prevent HIV Infection;and c) the Network on Microbicides to Prevent HIV Infection. 2. The Pediatric Infectious Diseases Clinic/ Baylor College of Medicine Children's Foundation of Uganda Institute (PIDC) CRS, an independent nonprofit NGO entity in Uganda will focus on pediatric and adolescent HIV treatment trials and will be affiliated with the Network on Infections in Pediatric and Maternal Populations. 3. The Nanning CRS site in Nanning China will be affiliated with a) the Network for HIV/AIDS and HIV associated Infections in Pediatric and Maternal Populations focusing on PMTCT and treatment of HIV infected infants and young children;b) the Network on Integrated Strategies to Prevent HIV Infection;and c) the Network on Therapeutics for HIV and associated infections.
The configuration of the JHU K-N CTU/CRS is designed to maximize the capacity for high enrollment of diverse at-risk international populations (adult injection drug users, women at risk, pregnant women and children) and to carry out the state-of-the-art HIV research agenda proposed within four clinical trial networks to significantly reduce HIV related morbidity and mortality in these populations.

To day the boys are still at work hoeing & replanting corn in the bottom field. Charley Hall came out from Crockett to see me. I am busy working in the garden. Charles Leaverton & Frank Stewart came up on a visit. after dinner Charley Leaverton left for Crockett. Frank & Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] went fishing and had some success. Frank remained with us all night. Sam ground 47 bushels of corn. weather changeable & warm in the evening however the wind hauled around to the N.E. & blew very hard at the same time it clouded up & there was a very hard rain for about one hour attended with severe thunder & lightning & some hail.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.

Greek Gods Match packet - Section 1: Activator
The Cyclops's Cave
Lesson 3 of 16
Objective: SWBAT demonstrate understanding of a myth by applying comprehension strategies and identify the common characteristics in a myth by citing specific details.
Today's class starts by reviewing the homework assigned the previous day: complete the Greek Gods and Goddesses packet. The purpose is to review the identity of the 12 Olympian gods and to introduce students to their Roman names. That information is contained in a this document, which was distributed in an earlier lesson. The more familiar students become with this information the easier it will be for them to keep the characters straight when we begin reading a variety of myths. An answer sheet is available here.
Then it is time for a pop quiz on the common characteristics of myths. On a small sheet of scrap paper, they number 1-8 and write as many of the facts that they remember. Answers include that myths often:
- teach a lesson/ explain a natural phenomena
- contain many gods and goddesses
- gods and goddesses possess superhuman qualities
- gods and goddesses have human emotions
- contain magic
- gods and goddesses often appear in disguises
- good is rewarded/ evil is punished
- contain violence
Resources (2)
Time to Read
Most of the remainder of today's class is spent reading, annotating and searching for evidence of the common characteristics of myths in The Cyclops's Cave by Bernard Evslin.
I read it aloud to students with great feeling and inflection, pausing at just the right the places to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The action, suspense and even humor are attention grabbers. I stop along the way to check for comprehension, address questions and make connections.
Since I also teach social studies, I plan this unit to coincide with our study of ancient Greece so everything from the geography of the region to the influence of religion comes up for discussion. I find it particularly gratifying when the students use newly acquired knowledge in their comments, such as the reference to the fact that island of the Cyclops must be somewhere in the Aegean Sea because Ulysses had departed from Troy and was headed back to Greece. Another example is when a student remarks that Ulysses should have known that "the gods considered hubris to be the worst offense, deserving of the worst punishment."

Common Characteristics Chart
I give the students 5-10 minutes to go back through the story and mark up the examples of the common characteristics of myths using this graphic organizer.
Then I lead a class discussion of the their findings. I require a specific text reference when they complete the chart or share with the class so, that they get used to doing so. An example of how a student marked up the text appears here and two versions of completed characteristics charts appear here and here (this one includes some direct quotes). Some thoughts on the difficulties students had in identifying the characteristics appears here:

My highlight? Wandering around the ramparts of the fortified town of Galle and ending up at either the Amangalla or the Lighthouse for a stiff G&T with a view….
Rosie, Original Traveller
The fortified old town of Galle is enjoying an artistic renaissance and its revival has in turn influenced its coastline, whose turquoise seas and palm-fringed beaches are now home to super-luxury and charming boutique hotels where guests can enjoy a fabulous luxury holiday.
Why we think you'll love it
- The miles of rugged, tropical beaches with local fishing boats and traditional stilt fishermen aplenty are colourful and beautiful
- The cuisine is worth a trip alone - particularly the amazing seafood and gentle curries
- There's plenty to do in the area when sun bathing gets too much, from shopping for gems to saving baby turtles and spotting blue whales
From the gallery
Luxury Beach Holidays in Sri Lanka
Historically, Galle has been an important trading port, and various nationalities have all left an indelible stamp on the rich history and character of the town. Although an important cultural site, Galle Fort remains a 'living' monument with a thriving community within.
In addition to Galle, Bentota and Tangalle are the best beach holiday destinations in the island, and also excellent bases for exploring its major wildlife parks and cultural heritage.
Galle is also the gateway to the coastal villages and sandy beaches of Unawatuna, Thalpe, Koggala, Habaraduwa and Ahangama. The sea is generally calm and in Unawatuna, the reef shelters more fish than the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
If you grow tired of lounging on the Sri Lankan beaches, local attractions include the Mulgirigalla Rock Temple and the Bundala and Uda Walawe National Parks, where animals including elephants, monkeys and water buffalo can be seen. Buddhist temples, tropical rainforests, and mangrove-lined lakes and waterways home to numerous species of birds and monitor lizards makes this area interesting for nature lovers as well.

Tibetan Healing Australia: Thinley Tsering
Rarely do we find anything that is still truely authentic and original. Here at Tibetan Healing Australia, you have such an opportunity. Thinley Tsering - your teacher, is an ex Tibetan monk, who has been studying the art of meditation and healing since the age of 6, when he first entered monastic life in Tibet. Thinley was priveleged to be taught by the highest lamas (teachers) of his monastry and he now passes his wisdom onto you.
Several years ago Thinley decided to really test life and apply his Buddhist knowledge in the outside world. He left the Monastry and opened his own 'Spiritual Healing and Massage Practice', in Dharamsala - home of the Dalai Lama, where many international patients continued to seek his healing experience.
Thinleys approach to is based on the 'Core Principal' of the "Blue Medicine Buddha" - positive energies transmitted to his patients with the use of chanting, the vibrations of the singing bowls and massage. Individuals are treated specifically for their personal problems with individual case by case programs to maximise the healing results.
He has recently arrived in Australia where he continues to offer his healing and spiritual gifts to you.

Tibetan Singing Bowls
The sound vibrations emitted by the Tibetan singing bowls are rich in natural harmonics, which are the healing component of music, triggering alertness, concnetration and deep relaxation. During the harmonic healing, the singing bowls emit intriguing sound pulsations.
The Way of the Bowl requires Acceptance, Openness and complete Surrender to the Sound - becoming ONE with the sound.

I've been looking forever for an after market intake manifold that will fit the car. I've found some from edle Brock that say they are unversal on thier site http://www.edelbrock.com/. Also how many motor mounts would I need and which ones?

Suggestions for a new intake manifold, high performance motor mounts, torque dampener
Hey guys, I have found OEM has just made a brand new intake with a re-enforced flange. Just got it in today and I'm going to install it Saturday and see how it goes. By the way I am boosted I was running 18PSI and I have after market coil overs. I won't be able to lift my engine for the mounts for a while so I also ordered an ingalls torque damper. Thanks for the info guys. Ill post pictures and progress.

What do you mean by OEM? Did you mean to put something different company wise or are you saying you got another factory intake manifold with a reinforced flange?
If you truly want an intake manifold to perform and benefit your turbocharged 4g64, I say have a custom intake manifold made. You could use the existing factory intake manifold flange with at least 2-3 inches of all 4 of the port tubes still connected. Then cut more tubes from another factory intake manifold to weld onto the other 4 tubes already on the flange. Or you could use any other tube as long as it's around the same size and same material. Then you could use a fire extinguisher to weld onto those tubes then use the factory intake manifold neck and weld that onto the fire extinguisher end where the throttle body would go. After all that you then just make vacuum ports and other ports needed for any other hoses that connected to the factory intake manifold. Here are threads where it has actually been done. I included all 3 so you can get more pictures and a better understanding of how he did it. 1badrs Comeback 70% complete Just broke 357whp at 15psi ruff intake manifold pics |

New intake. Almost looks stock but it seems much heavier duty. Hopefully it'll do the job.. Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App |

Referring to your old manifold: It's a pretty easy fix when you have the right tools. I could make a new flange for the TB on the mill then weld it in place.
However, I wasn't talking about repairing it. I want to cut the stock flange & injector ports off of it, then weld on new runners & a custom plenum. It would resemble most of the aftermarket evo intake manifolds, but cost far far far less. |

Why if it's unnecessary? That's way more work and money than fixing a manifold ten times.
If you know it's going to brake then take half an hour with the wire brush and half an hour with the welder and hit each seam then put it in with the factory brackets. |

Yep. I cracked my intake manifold neck early last year. I took it off, bent the large cracked portion slightly open and prepped it by sanding that area where it will be welded. Took it to Muffler King and told them to weld it. It would have cost $20 but the guys like me so they didn't charge me. It's a cheap and easy fix that will last a good long time.

Sparse crowd at Carroll book signing
July 19th, 2010, 5:12 pm by Doug TifftLOS ANGELES—Maybe those wounds Pete Carroll inflicted on USC are still a little too fresh.
Carroll had a signing for his book, "Win Forever," Monday afternoon at ESPN Zone in Los Angeles. In more than an hour sitting under the giant televisions next to a stack of books, Carroll spent a lot of time staring at his phone and chatting with assistants, as the crowd was inconsistent at best.
Carroll, now the coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, used his Twitter account to encourage fans to come over on their lunch breaks, but few Trojan fans made an appearance.
The signing occurred 39 days after the NCAA placed USC on a two-year bowl ban, four years of probation, removed scholarships and forced the Trojans to forfeit a year of games because of improper benefits and recruiting violations.

My name is Kevin Kleinfelter. I'm an amateur radio operator in the United States. I received my General Class license in 2012 and my Extra in 2015.
My radio chief interest is in SOTA. In short, I hike to the tops of mountains, set up a portable radio station, and make contact with other amateur radio operators around the world.
When one makes contact from a mountain, this is known as 'activating' the summit, and the people who do this are 'activators.' There are people who enjoy making contact with activators, and they're known as 'chasers.' Activators and chasers do this in order to acquire points. The points have no value, they're just a way to keep score. (Nobody cares about your score but you.)
If we have spoken via radio and I have asked you to "spot me," it would be a big help to me if you would do so. When an activator is 'spotted,' it means that someone has posted the frequency where he is operating to a web site. Chasers watch this web site. Once I am spotted, a bunch of them will try to contact me. If I make 4 contacts, I'll get my points. Otherwise, I'll have to climb this hill another day and try again. To spot me, you'll have to
I operate mostly in Georgia. Georgia has 14 summits which are 10-point summits (the highest number of points available for a summit). When a summit is activated for the first time, this is (cleverly) called a 'first activation.' I first-activated 7 of Georgia's 14 summits. Other people got to the remaining 10-pointers before I did. I went on to activate the remaining seven 10-point summits in early 2013. I was the first activator collect the full set of all 14 of Georgia's 10-point summits. In December of 2013, I completed my 50th activation. In September of 2014, I activated for the 100th time.
My favorite summit was Stratton Bald. My then-12-year-old son and I activated Stratton Bald on an overnight camping trip. This was my first summit. It was also my first QSO. I had planned this trip months in advance. Shortly before the trip, I received notice that the manufacturer would ship my radio to arrive a few days before our trip. I wasn't going to cancel the trip, but I still wanted to play with my new toy. Then I read about SOTA. My son thought that the idea of first-activating Stratton Bald sounded pretty cool, so that's what we did. We lucked out and I spoke with people in Germany, England and Canada, and I had a summit-to-summit contact with someone in Canada!

Anthony De Longis and PALPABLE HIT PRODUCTIONS are pleased to announce that its first instructional video on combative period swordsmanship. La Verdadera Destreza: The True Art and Style of Spanish Swordsmanship, is now for sale in both DVD and VHS formats.
This 2-volume introductory video set is designed to present the Spanish School of Swordsmanship, La Verdadera Destreza, in a simple basic form so that it is comprehensible to the modern swordsman training without a master. It will provide you the most fundamental elements of the Spanish School of Swordsmanship so that as potential Diestros, you may practice basic skills, techniques, and drills so that at the end of your basic practice you may begin to engage in light assaults.
Based upon the texts of Spanish masters Don Jeronimo Sanchez de Carranza and Don Luis Pacheco de Narvaez, La Verdadera Destreza is a two-volume instructional guide to the correct combative fighting style of the Spanish School of Swordsmanship gleaned from over twenty years of research and study of the historical Spanish treatises by Maestro Ramon Martinez and his partner, Maestro Jeannette Acosta-Martinez.
Building upon the foundation of skills presented in Volume 1, contents of Volume 2 include instruction and drills covering:
With the assistance of Jeannette Acosta-Martinez and Anthony De Longis, Maestro Rarmon Martinez teaches these skills in short, sequential lessons which include simple drills that illustrate the techniques of La Verdadera Destreza. Because these volumes contain instruction in true combative historical fencing, it is highly advised that you invest in the appropriate protective gear before beginning your training - including fencing mask, chest protector, jacket and gloves.
Ramon Martinez has devoted over 28 years to the study and teaching of classical fencing. He studied classical fencing for ten years with the late Maitre d'Armes Frederick Rohdes in New York, who conferred the rank of Fencing Master on Mr. Martinez in 1982. He has also done extensive research in historical fencing, carefully and thoroughly studying treatises of the most prominent masters of the past centuries in an effort to accurately reconstruct the varied styles. These ancient and historical forms are then taught as authentically as possible. Maestro Martinez' goal is to teach, promote, and preserve this rare martial art.
Maestro Martinez is a member of the Council of Advisors of Swordplay Symposium International and is the current president of the Association for Historical Fencing. He is one of the founders of the International Masters at Arms Federation and is associated with the Federazione Italiana Scherma Antica e Storica and British Federation for Historical Swordplay. He is also a research consultant for the American Society for Chivalric Research.
Jeannette Acosta-Martinez is a professional restorer of antique furniture who specializes in works of the 17th and 18th centuries. Maestro Acosta-Martinez has spent a total of 18 years studying traditional fencing, both classical and historical, under the tutelage of Maitre d'Armes Frederick Rohdes and Maestro Ramon Martinez. In 1995, she became an instructor at Martinez Academy of Arms.
In preparation for her Provost's and Master's certification, Maestro Acosta-Martinez devoted time to learning the art of teaching, as well as extensively researching the fencing treatises of the classical and historical periods. In May of 2000, she received her Master's certification from the International Masters at Arms Federation and a second certification from the Martinez Academy of Arms the following November, becoming the only other Master certified to teach the Rohdes system of classical fencing and the Martinez system of Spanish rapier fence. Maestro Acosta-Martinez is also the Vice President of the Association for Historical Fencing and a founding member of the International Masters at Arms Federation.

Health Insurance Essential for Health and Well-Being, Report Says;
Action Urgently Needed from President and Congress to Solve Crisis of the Uninsured
WASHINGTON -- The evidence shows more clearly than ever that having health insurance is essential for people's health and well-being, and safety-net services are not enough to prevent avoidable illness, worse health outcomes, and premature death, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine. Moreover, new research suggests that when local rates of uninsurance are relatively high, even people with insurance are more likely to have difficulty obtaining needed care and to be less satisfied with the care they receive.
The number of people who have health insurance continues to drop, and employment-based coverage -- the principal source of insurance for the majority of Americans -- is eroding, a situation that is getting worse with the current economic crisis, the report notes. In 2007, nearly one in 10 American children and one in five non-elderly adults had no health insurance. The average amount employees paid per year for family coverage in an employer-sponsored plan rose from $1,543 in 1999 to $3,354 in 2008. If there is no intervention, the decline in health insurance coverage will continue, concluded the committee that wrote the report.
The committee called on the president and Congress to begin efforts immediately to achieve health coverage for all Americans. Steps must be taken to reduce the costs of care and the rate at which health care spending is rising to make that coverage sustainable for everyone, the report adds.
"Policymakers and the public can no longer presume that those without health insurance are getting the care they need through safety-net services such as charity care and emergency departments," said committee chair Lawrence S. Lewin, an executive consultant in health care policy and management. "The evidence clearly shows that lack of health insurance is hazardous to one's health, and the situation is getting worse because of the erosion of employment-based health coverage due to the current economic crisis. The nation must act now to solve the uninsurance problem."
The report responds to key questions being raised in the national debate about health care reform, including whether having insurance is essential for gaining access to necessary services given the availability of charity and free emergency care, and whether lack of coverage has wider ripple effects on whole communities. Written by a committee of experts in medical care, emergency medicine, health policy, business, economics, and health research, the report provides an independent assessment of published studies and surveys as well as newly commissioned research on the impacts of lack of coverage.
A significant amount of new evidence about the health consequences for individuals -- particularly from comparisons of participants' health before and after they enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program -- has emerged since the IOM last studied the consequences of uninsurance in 2004. In addition, new research suggests that that high rates of uninsurance in communities can have spillover effects on the insured.
With health insurance, children are more likely to gain access to a regular source of care, immunizations and checkups, needed medications, asthma treatment, and basic dental services. Serious childhood health problems are more likely to be identified early, and those with special needs are more likely to have access to specialists. Insured children experience fewer hospitalizations and improved asthma outcomes, and they miss fewer days of school.
Adults without health insurance are much less likely to receive clinical preventive services that can reduce unnecessary illness and premature death. Chronically ill, uninsured adults delay or forgo checkups and therapies, including medications. They are more likely to be diagnosed with later-stage cancers that could have been detected earlier, and to die when hospitalized for trauma or other serious conditions, such as heart attack or stroke. Uninsured men and women with cancer, heart disease, serious injury, stroke, respiratory failure, pulmonary illness, hip fracture, and seizures are also more likely to suffer poorer outcomes, greater limitations in quality of life, and premature death. New evidence demonstrates that obtaining coverage lessens or reverses many of these harmful effects.
Based on the available evidence, the committee concluded that when a community has a high rate of uninsurance, the financial impact on health care providers may be large enough to affect the availability, quality, and cost of local services for everyone, even people who have insurance. For example, survey data show that privately insured, working-age adults in areas with higher uninsurance rates are less likely to report having a place to go for care when sick, getting a checkup or routine preventive care, and seeing a specialist when needed. They are also less likely to be satisfied with their choice of physicians or to trust their doctors' decisions.
This report follows a series of six reports the IOM issued between 2001 and 2004 that evaluated how children, adults, families, and communities are affected by lack of health insurance. The series established principles for expanding coverage and culminated with a call for the president and Congress to act by 2010 to achieve coverage for all Americans. The current report reiterates the call for efforts to ensure everyone has access to effective health care services, a need that has not been met through reliance on safety-net services. The committee underscored the urgent need to begin now, given that coverage nationwide continues to decrease as more people lose their jobs and employer-based plans.
The study was sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Avalon Diner III Restaurant Review: If you're looking for real down-home diner food, Avalon has it. And while the décor isn't of the authentic '40s-style of the original in River Oaks, the food is every bit as good. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, regulars belly up to the bar for huge plates of eggs done every way, buttermilk biscuits smothered in sausage gravy and crispy bacon early in the day. Later, they may opt for a big, juicy burger or an even bigger salad for lunch and then a blue-plate special for dinner. Traditional Texas chicken-fried steak is offered on Monday and there's homemade meatloaf on Saturdays. Be sure and bring your appetite, and don't pass on the soda fountain treats --- big milkshakes, ice cream floats and even a light and fresh limeade topped with a cherry. |

At the turn of the twenty-first century, the United States contended with a state-run biological warfare program, bioterrorism, and a pandemic. Together, these threats spurred large-scale government demand for new vaccines, but few have materialized. A new anthrax vaccine has been a priority since the first Gulf War, but twenty years and a billion dollars later, the United States still does not have one. This failure is startling. Historically, the United States has excelled at responding to national health emergencies. World War II era programs developed ten new or improved vaccines, often in time to meet the objectives of particular military missions. Probing the history of vaccine development for factors that foster timely innovation, Kendall Hoyt discovered that vaccine innovation has been falling, not rising, since World War II. This finding is at odds with prevailing theories of market-based innovation and suggests that a collection of nonmarket factors drove mid-century innovation. Ironically, many late-twentieth-century developments that have been celebrated as a boon for innovation--the birth of a biotechnology industry and the rise of specialization and outsourcing--undercut the collaborative networks and research practices that drove successful vaccine projects in the past. Hoyt's timely investigation teaches important lessons for our efforts to rebuild twenty-first-century biodefense capabilities, especially when the financial payback for a particular vaccine is low, but the social returns are high.Create a review

Inspiring stories for evolving communities
Other articles by the same author
LINC Up First Friday is an event that LINC Community Revitalization, Inc. sponsors every first Friday of the month. On February the 3rd my granddaughter and I attended the First Friday event. This was my third time attending and my granddaughter's second. We set out to have a good evening together.
The evening's agenda was to mix and mingle and to share and enjoy. When we arrived the sounds of relaxing music filled the room. Live music was provided featuring THE ISAAC NORRIS PROJECT and they played old and new jazz arrangements.
There was a very nice buffet and a cash bar. In keeping with the theme, Mardi Gras 2012, many Creole dishes were prepared by Donald Everette with Sanchel's. Later in the night, the mic was opened up for some spoken word. Two talented young ladies took the stage, reciting their own poems, and I must say we were in for a very nice treat.
One of the poets was my granddaughter. Her poem was so moving you could hear a pin drop in the room. Syreeta Nelson recited one that she had written, Crack Owes Me Reparations. She had a story to tell for she has lived through it. Doing so has given her positive structure and made her the person she is today. She continues to strive to spread the message of this poem for others to hear and to give them strength and encouragement to deal with this issue, along with family and friends.
I asked Syreeta why she wrote this poem and she replied, "I wrote this poem for many reasons. It started out as a purging process because I needed an outlet and I didn't want to be consumed by pain and grief and because I love my parents and I can remember our relationship prior to the drugs. I embraced the fact that it has to be me; I have to be the one from among the people for I have witnessed the torment of addiction and I am not willing to allow anyone else to remain bound or die in this deception and most certainly not on my watch!"
This young lady also has given me and others so much strength with this poem to help them keep faith and to carry on and for that I thank her!
When we were leaving the LINC Development Center, a gentleman approached us and asked Syreeta if he could give her a hug, saying, "Ten years ago I was that father."
This evening was one of the best evenings I've had for a long time.
Come out and join us at the next First Friday Networking Event at LINC on March 2nd!
I have lived in Grand Rapids all my life and am very involved with my community. I hope to give back and hope in any way I can.
Reports on: Community involvement and changes happening within the community. I hope to make a contribution to my community by telling these stories.

Eating My Words
7 comments:
Anna--I know, right? I think they make the tree much more festive. I hope your puppy isn't reveling in similar activities!
Sheri--Let's make it happen in 2012! She is incognito up there in the branches.
Anita--LOL. I actually think that kitty posts are probably the lowest common denominator of blog posts. But oh well. Real life keeps sinking in!
Dianne--ROFL. Maybe I'll leave it up all year long for them. We could have a forest of cat tree toy hangers in our living room. They would love it!Our two youngest cats play CalvinBall every night (The only rule in CalvinBall is that you have to play it differently every time you play it) and the Christmas Tree has featured a lot in their games of late. We think they're simply changing the scoring mechanism every night.
Yesterday, as we started taking down the tree, Bonn looked at the floor and said, "Can you believe the amount of broken ornaments here?"
I'm not sure why she was surprised.
-- TomWe figured out early on, that breakable ornaments and our family don't go hand in hand. Most of our ornaments are stuffed. It's a little sad, though, that as our kids get less destructive, that our pets get more so! We had one breakable ornament to put on the tree this year, and my youngest child dropped it on the tile, trying to show it to my husband. Sigh. We just can't have nice things. LOL.

Bikini Anyone???
Earlier today, I went to the Mall to pick up my contact lenses (No shopping allowed). I told myself… SELF: U R NOT going to do any shopping… U R only here for one thing and one thing only! If you go into a store you can only L@@K!
I mean who can really go into the Mall w/o even l@@king? Right?
So while at the MALL browsing… I come across a RACK of Swimsuits!!!!
That little rack of Swimsuits was only a teaser – seeing those swimsuits only made me crave for more! So, once I got to the PC I started searching Swimsuits… here are some of my FAVES!
If you don't do Bikini's... you can opt for a Tankini
If you are still NOT feeling it... go for a CLASSY but SEXY one piece
Don't forget about your Beach Cover-up... *added touch*
Picture Source: Victoria's Secret.com – but don't sleep on Macy's they have some really cute styles too… I just didn't want to overwhelm y'all with pics!!!!
Oh & before I go… I wanted to share this picture that was sent to me by one of my accessory vendors. I was told this was a HOT ITEM & a BEST SELLER!!!! If you know where they are wearing this at please let me know!
I posted the pic on my Facebook page cause I needed more explanation as to why & where can you wear this too? It look like it hurts… OUCH!!!!
I have ROCKED a few bikini's in the past but I've kind of shy away from them but this year I think I'mma work on these ABS & get myself a BIKINI!!!!
Do you prefer 2 piece or 1 pc Swimsuit and why???!!!
Note to You: Don't allow other opinions to clout your judgment!!!!
If you want it… FLAUNT IT!!!!
Peace, Love, & Fashion

Now she's hiked this mountain all by herself. It was glorious, she thinks, as she peers through her binoculars at the Snake River churning below. And then she sees the man and woman on the opposite bank. Arguing. Fighting. Suddenly, he's on top of her, his hands around her throat....
Enjoying a moment of solitude a bit farther down the trail is a gruff loner named Brody. But by the time Reece reaches him and brings him to the scene, the pair is gone. And when authorities comb the area where she saw the attack, they find nothing - no signs of struggle. No freshly turned earth. Not even a tire track.
No one in Angel's Fist seems to believe Reece. After all, she's a newcomer in town with a reputation for being jumpy and jittery - maybe even a little fragile. Maybe it's time to run again, to move on. But Reece knows there's a killer in Angel's Fist, even if Brody, despite his seeming impatience and desire to keep her at arm's length, is the only one willing to believe her.
When a series of menacing events makes it clear that someone wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in Brody - and herself - to find out if there is a killer in Angel's Fist before it's too late.
©2006 Nora Roberts; (P)2006 Brilliance Audio
"A slow-burn start combusts in a satisfying denouement; Roberts's legions of fans will be enthralled." (Publishers Weekly)
"Roberts's hallmarks are seamless narratives and powerful characterizations, and Joyce Bean takes full advantage." (AudioFile)
"Great Nora Roberts book"
Yes, I will listen to this book again. There was more character development in this book than in the majority of romances.
Of, Reece
The "voices" used the narrator were often difficult to distinguish--- one gravelly voice for all men, some women.
"Angels Fall"
This was another great listen from Nora Roberts. Always reliable for an easy restful read. Just what one needs at times. :)
I have a busy career, travel a lot and don't have much time to read, so I listen to Audio books. I love reading!
"Easy listening!"
I look forward to Nora Robert's strong female characters and the men they fall in love with. A little predictable, but good easy listening. Angel's Fall is another good recipe with a good story line and that good bit of a twist and excitement to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Another Nora Robert's winner with a good narrator in Joyce Bean bringing the characters to life.
"Not Nora's Best"
I would recommend this story because it will appeal to fans of romantic suspense
Reece's past and the reasons she is on the run were the most interesting aspect of the story. The least interesting was the loose ends with the identity of the killer and what happened to him.
Riveting, engaging and clear
This wasn't the best by Nora Roberts in terms of her standard romantic suspense titles, but I did enjoy the story. I thought Reece was a likeable character and once I learned why she was so jittery and tense, I felt a lot of empathy for her. She came across as a very believable character, having experienced what she went through in her previous life and I thought she was very brave for taking charge of her life and trying new experiences, despite her anxiety. I liked Brody immediately and didn't let his gruff exterior fool me. Reece's boss, Joanie and coworker, Linda Gail were wonderful supporting characters. The story flowed well, but was a little predictable, especially when the killer started stalking Reece, trying to make her think she was going crazy. I guessed early on who the killer was, but enjoyed finding out why he did it at the end.
Overall, this was a good story and fans of Nora Roberts and romantic suspense stories will enjoy it, but may not be blown away by it.
"Murder and Malice in the Grand Tetons"
Good narration by Joyce Bean. No complaints. Her performance was excellent. This book was also made into a LIFETIME movie starring Heather Locklear, but I never saw it.
As for the story, it's a good thriller, but a fairly weak mystery. I guessed who murdered the woman immediately, but was never sure till nearly the end.
The thriller aspects were stronger. I really felt for the heroine as the killer tried to drive her into la-la-loco land. He was so malicious. Shudder.
As for romance, this one is laid back, matter-of-fact, and seemingly emotionless, compared to some love stories. Nonetheless, I quite liked Brody's gradual transformation from grouchy, hard-edged journalist and mystery writer to protective, devoted -- but still slightly sarcastic -- lover.
I liked seeing the heroine come into her own, and fight her way back to serenity.
Good pacing. Good dialogue. Good secondary characters, especially Joanie. Good entertainment.
I wish Roberts would leave out the religious profanity. Bugs me.
"Excellent narration, story gets a little lost"
I enjoyed listening to Joyce Bean narrate so much so that I looked up other titles she has performed. Angels Fall is a good story, but it gets a little lost in the lengthy descriptions of all the main character's issues (paranoia, OCD etc.). The ending is not unexpected, but it is confusing. I'm still not quite sure how it all panned out. Usually Nora Roberts is much more on point with descriptive storylines, but I feel this story fell a little short.
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Classic Nora Roberts"
I enjoyed this book it was well narrated and easy to listen to. I would recommend this book
"Angels Fail"
Whiny wounded heroine witnesses event. Then several (audiobook) hours of stalkerish/gaslighting pranks alternating with "OMG! Am I crazy! I'm not crazy! I swear!" Then big confrontation with baddie who was obvious about halfway through the book, and *wham* book is over. No reactions/responses from anyone other than the hero and heroine.
Seriously. Bad.
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"Angels Fall"
This was another great listen from Nora Roberts. Always reliable for an easy restful read. Just what one needs at times. :)
"Fantastic book!"
Great novel by great artist! Amazing story! Absolutely keeps you on the seat of your pants.
"Another great Nora Roberts"
Excellent story, well read at just the right pace and characterizations. Have listened to this story before and can still enjoy it.
"Angels Fall"
I really enjoyed this book. Narrative was done to perfection. Story gripping and you really didn't know until Reece did. Excellent!!
