Philadelphia March 18 1777
My dear Miss Scollay
Your Favor of the
11th of Feb'y. By
Mr. Bromfield
did not reach my hand till yesterday. I admire
your Fidelity to our departed Friend, discovered in
your unceasing Anxiety for the Education and future
Well-being of his Children. A few Days before I left
Boston in October last, I had an opportunity of convers-
ing with one of the Mr. Warrens upon the subject. I
told him what we had proposed for Miss Betsy; but there
seemed to be a Difficulty in removing her from the place
where she had been invited to live, upon the Love of Friend-
ship to her late father and had been treated with so
much civility and kindness. With request to the young-
est Son and Daughter, I mentioned my strong Desire that
they might be continued under your care; and that
means might be continued to have the eldest son sent
to Dummers School. I informed him that Master Moody
was a Man of great Benevolence of Heart and that his
warm Affection for the Father, would be a powerful Motive
with him to employ the utmost Attention in the education
of the Son. I urged these things with as much Freedom as
so delicate a Subject would admit if he expressed his
obligation and spoke of you in Terms of great Respect and
Friendship, which induced me to hope that the interview
would be attended with happy Effect. You know how
engaged I was in a multiplicity of affairs during my
short stay in Boston. I wished for opportunities of
rendering more substantial service to the orphans, but
it was not thus in my Power.
While I was in
Baltimore, an opportunity presented
of making a Proposal, which, if agreed to, would be honorary to
my friend and beneficial to his Son. General Mercer having
been slain in Battle, or rather Barbarously murdered, a
Motion was made in Congress for a Monument to be
erected to his Memory, and that his youngest Son
should be educated at the Expense of the Continent.
I did not think my self partial in judging that the
services and Merit of General Warren considered as a
Patriot or as a Soldier were not inferior to those of General
Mercer, and therefore added to the Motion that the
this Sons should be educated -- I proposed the eldest. It
was agreed that my Motion should be first entered on the
Journal, and a Committee was appointed to consider
of them both. Congress soon after adjorned to this
Place. The gentlemen of the Committee are not all of them arrived.
I am persuaded it will be agreed to in the Committee, but as the
Determination in the House may be uncertain, I think it best
that it should not be made known abroad, till we see the event.
Dr. John Warren is now in this City. I have conversed with
him. I freely offered my opinion that the eldest Son should
be sent as speedily as possible to Dummers School and the two youngest Children remain with you. He heard
my opinion with great Candor and said he thought is a good
Proposal, and mentioned you with great Respect. With regard
to Betsy, the same Difficulty which was started in the Convena-
tion with his Brothers, laboured in his Mind. It is indeed a
Difficulty -- I observed to him that she was in a critical Time of Life,
and that I was well advised that the utmost Care would be taken of
her in your Fathers Family. He was of the same opinion, and
thought it best that the three children should be kept together.
As this conversation passed in the Time of the sitting of Congress,
I was obliged to break off sooner than I should otherwise have
done, not without sanguine Hopes that these Matters will
be concluded agreeable to your kind. Just a Conclusion, I
think will be most conducive to the Welfare of the Children of
my most valued absent friend. The Doctor will leave this
place for Boston today. I have not Leisure now to write by
him to my friends but expect to have an opportunity by Express in a few
Days when I intend to forward this. -- I shall then acknowledge a letter I lately received from you
Father! Please to present my friend by Regard to him and his
family, and to Mr. Savage for whom I have long had a cordial
Affection. Pray tell him that one of the South Carolina Gentlemen
was so obliging to me as to forward his letter to his Son with
his own by a safe hand.
Our friends will be glad to hear that we have this Day
a very agreeable letter from Dr. Franklin in France -- The Vessel
which brought the Letter was taken near the Capes of Delaware,
having on board Fire Arms, Lead, Blankets and belonging to the
Continent, the Quantity of neither as yet ascertained -- This is
indeed a Misfortune, but we shall do very well for all.
I shall write to some of our particular Friends, upon the Subject
which you have so much at Heart, and wish to be honored with
the Continuance of your Letters -- You must believe me to be with
great Sincerity your Friend and humble Servant

SJ7965 : Carved woodpecker at Brereton Heath
taken 4 years ago, near to Brereton Heath, Cheshire, Great Britain
Brereton Heath Country Park
Once part of the Brereton Hall Estate, this area was planted with Scots Pine trees in the 19th century- which were then felled during the First World War to provide pit-props for the mining industry. Some of these remain and there have been some new ones planted as a reminder of the past. After this the area began to be taken over by Silver Birch and a gamekeeper was employed by the estate to rear game birds for sport.
In 1959 silica sand was discovered and a quarry was opened, at one point extracting up to 500 tonnes per day for use in the production of glass and making casting moulds for the metal industry. The quarry was abandoned in 1972 after the sand ran out, filling with water and making the present lake, and the site was then purchased in 1982 by Congleton Borough Council for the creation of a country park.
2004 saw the country park being designated as a Local Nature Reserve, and is now managed for the benefit of both wildlife and members of the public.
In 2009 Congleton Borough Council merged with Cheshire East County Council who now, along with a group of volunteers, manage the site. Also in 2009 Brereton Heath was awarded a Green Flag Award, which was earned again in 2010.
There is a varied landscape on the site, with a lake, woodland, meadowland and rare lowland heath. This variety in the landscape also produces a wonderfully varied flora and fauna. There is also a very good visitor centre with toilets, and excellent disabled access including the Brimstone Trail going through the woods and circling the lake. This trail is completely wheelchair and buggy friendly.

It's little wonder that the Republican-dominated Georgia Legislature waited until the closing days of its session to take up HB 87, an immigration reform law inspired by Arizona's controversial move last year to crack down on illegal immigrants.
Two tidal forces within the Republican Party are pulling at the Georgia bill, which has to be resolved by a Thursday midnight deadline. On one side are law-and-order Republicans who form the party's urban and suburban base, reacting to fears that illegal immigrants are in essence part of a large criminal cartel that siphons off billions in taxpayer-funded entitlements every year.
On the other are state farmers and agri-businesses, many of them financial supporters of the state GOP, who say the proposed requirements for them to check the immigration status of their quickly-hired field workers are too onerous and could, in the worst case, leave fields of Vidalia onions and groves of peach trees unpicked. Others worry that HB 87 could spark national boycotts – as the Arizona law did – and hurt the state's New South image as a diverse, newcomer-friendly place to live, work and do business.
RELATED: Arizona immigration law and illegal immigrants: state of extremes
That a Southern agricultural state may line up shoulder to shoulder with a Western border state with a vastly different economic and cultural history shows how deeply the debate over what to do with America's 13 million undocumented residents has cut into capitol dome politics.
The measure also promises to test how a bevy of new state immigration proposals will play in non-border states where Republicans are eager to challenge Washington on immigration enforcement and other perceived excesses and failures of federal power.
"What you're seeing in Georgia is what you're seeing across the country, where the demographics of immigration have changed substantially in the past 20 years," says Kevin Johnson, an immigration law expert at the University of California, at Davis. At the same time, state immigration laws "are a very difficult political issue to peg," he says, because there's dissension in both political parties over how to deal with the problem.
Bills introduced in 30 states
As of March, lawmakers in 30 US states had introduced 52 immigration-related bills, many including language similar to the Arizona law. Fourteen of those measures have failed and 36 are still pending, reports the National Conference of State Legislatures.
So far, Utah is the only state to follow Arizona's lead. Utah now requires police officers to verify the residency status of anyone detained for a serious crime. (Conceding immigrants' role in the agriculture economy, however, the Utah law provides a form of amnesty by making illegals part of a new state guest worker program – though legal experts say such a program needs congressional approval.)
If passed, Georgia's law is likely to look more like the one passed in Arizona, allowing law enforcement to question a person's immigration status based on "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the US illegally.
"It makes perfect sense that Arizona was at the lead of these measures, because it's ground zero for illegal immigration, but it also makes sense that Georgia would be active, because Georgia is now one of the top illegal immigration destinations," says Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a nonpartisan Washington think tank that focuses on the consequences of legal and illegal immigration for US society.
Bill moving toward passage
But the question over how tough Georgia should get has been a vexing one for Republicans. The Senate watered down a tougher House bill on Monday, taking out a requirement that all employers use the federal E-Verify system to check the residency status of workers. (The Supreme Court is expected to hand down a ruling soon on whether states can force employers to use E-Verify for all new hires.) The House threw those changes out the next day, sending the original bill back to the Senate.
On Thursday afternoon, the bill continued to move toward passage, according to Senate sources, as legislators debated giving farmers and businesses a grace period under which to comply with the law before receiving penalties.
If passed, the Georgia law is likely to meet immediate legal scrutiny. On Monday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals joined other federal appeals courts – including the 3rd and 10th – in shooting down local preemption of federal immigration laws. The 9th Circuit, in San Francisco, found that the Arizona law – SB 1070 – went too far by giving police new powers to demand identification from suspects and sided with a lower court ruling that the law treads on federal jurisdictions by establishing state criminal penalties for immigration-related crimes. Like the Arizona law, the Georgia bill also creates new criminal categories related to illegal immigration, including making the harboring of an illegal immigrant a crime.
Fears of Mexican cartels
For many Georgians, the bill addresses growing fears about Mexican cartels using local immigrant communities as cover for drug-trafficking, and in the process bringing the bloody Mexican drug wars closer to home. Announcing over 600 arrests as part of Operation Southern Tempest, which focused on 168 US cities, including Atlanta, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said in early March, "These people are up to the worst sort of violent crimes in the communities they live in. These guys aren't in book clubs, they're in violent street gangs."
"The cartel issue is what drives fears – and they're not irrational or groundless," says Mr. Krikorian.
Critics of state immigration crackdowns, however, point out that the Obama administration has taken action to resolve complaints about federal immigration enforcement, especially when dealing with violent criminals. The Department of Homeland Security deported more illegal immigrants last year – more than 400,000 – than any other US administration in history.
Another way to explain how two vastly different states are reaching the same conclusion on how to tackle the social and economic costs of illegal immigration is that such efforts are, in essence, a burgeoning form of protest by rising Republican majorities in the states, as conservatives tease out themes and policies likely to pay dividends in the 2012 election. It's not a settled debate on the right. On Thursday, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) – a potential presidential contender – said he opposes the Arizona-style law enforcement provisions that are part of an Indiana immigration proposal.
"These laws right now are more symbolic than real," says Mr. Johnson, the immigration law expert at UC-Davis.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- The recent discovery of two vast aquifers in northern Kenya and a third in Namibia has given weight to scientists' claims the African continent is sitting on immense underground reservoirs of water.
But the scientists also warn that Africa faces more droughts because of climate change and could have 25 percent less water by the end of the century, setting the state for possible water wars.
Egypt and Ethiopia, for instance, are facing off over the long-contested waters of the Nile River because Addis Ababa is building a giant $4.3 billion hydroelectric dam, which will cut the flow to Egypt, whose 84 million people depend on the Nile to survive.
The U.S. global security consultancy Stratfor cautioned the September discovery of the aquifers in the drought-plagued Turkana desert of northwestern Kenya near the borders with Uganda and South Sudan raises "the possibility of cross-border conflicts over water rights in the future."
The Lotikipi Basin Aquifer and the smaller Lodwar Basin Aquifer were among five aquifers located by Radar Technologies International of France, in collaboration with the Kenyan government and the United Nations with funding from Japan.
The East African aquifers were discovered using advanced satellite technology and confirmed by drilling. The size of the other three Kenyan acquifers still has to be determined by drilling.
Lotikipi, roughly the size of Rhode Island, contains an estimated 7.3 trillion cubic feet of water with an annual recharge rate of 42.4 billion cubic feet through rainfall in Kenya and Uganda.
All told, some 8.8 trillion cubic feet of underground water was found, with an expected annual recharge rate of 110 billion cubic feet -- an amount roughly equal to 15 percent of the 741 billion cubic feet of water currently available to Kenya each year.
The Turkana region is populated largely by nomadic tribes, who lack regular access to water. Kenya's economic hubs of Nairobi and the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa are around the Lake Victoria and Athi basins, which hold around 60 percent of the country's water resources.
So there's likely to be considerable debate over how to use the new aquifers in terms of national development resources that Kenyan officials initially claimed could supply the entire country with water for the next 70 years.
But Stratfor observed that with a growing population already surpassing 41 million, Kenya, riven by tribal rivalries and heavily reliant on foreign aid for development, is likely to find the new water resources not enough to "support continued population and economic growth."
It noted: "Competition for the new reserves can be expected. Currently, agriculture dominates water usage, accounting for roughly 80 percent of Kenya's water consumption, but oil and manufacturing will likely vie for the resource. ...
"Sustainability will require improvements in both infrastructure and resource management, neither of which will come easy. ...
"Overuse of water resources by agricultural, municipal or oil sectors would further limit the region's potential for long-term growth," Stratfor observed.
Africa's water woes also have been mitigated by the July 2012 discovery of a major aquifer named Ohangwena II under the Namibia-Angola border on Africa's southwestern coast.
On the Namibian side, the 10,000-year-old aquifer covers an area roughly 43 miles by 25 miles.
Because of climate change over the eons that turned the Sahara into a desert, scientists say many of the aquifers deep under the sands were last filled with water 5,000 years ago.
Project manager Martin Quinger, from the German Federal Institute for Geoscience and Natural Resources, says the aquifer could supply northern Namibia "for 400 years" and will help people adjust to climate change.
The 400-year estimate is probably overly optimistic, but scientists writing in the journal Environmental Research Letters recently argued the total volume of water in African aquifers is 100 times the amount found on the surface and probably purer because it's untainted by pollution.
That could be good news for the estimated 300 million people on the planet who are believed to have no access to safe drinking water.
The BBC reported in April 2012 scientists from the British Geological Survey and University College London were able to map Africa's hidden underground water reserves.
Helen Bonsor of BGS estimates there's enough water there to "provide a buffer to climate variability."

Assassination Classroom's Lead CP from issue #32:
WSJ Issue #33 Previews:
Ginga Patrol Jako will be a 10 chapters series. This shouldn't come as a surprise because we all knew Akira Toriyama won't do another long running series.
Orga777 wrote:
Also, someone said the the volume sales are doing ok? Not really in that either. Each year for the past 3 or 4 years it has dropped over 1 MILLION total units sold a year. That is dreadful, and probably why the series is ending after this arc.
Selling 400k to 500k copies per volume is considered good. Yes the sales have dropped for Bleach, but in no way we can call selling an average of 500k copies a volume is bad.
Those series that are selling over a million copies a volume are the ones that are doing exceptionally great. Then you have One Piece which is on a level of its own selling an average of 3 million copies a volume.
A note about the rankings, no one is actually sure about the number of weeks the reader surveys take to get processed, whether it's 7 or 8 weeks. A recent debate was in the toc thread for mangahelpers.
There's a bunch of people that are pretty sure it's 7 weeks though.
On topic, I wonder how much longer World Trigger sits in the middle.
@op, thank you for this thread, it is nice to see where things fall. I am kinda bummed to see some of the series that I enjoy in the English SJ doing so poorly. It will be sad to see them ending. I like Barrage, and it ended abruptly, I see a similar fate heading for Cross Manage and I am kind of bummed.
Believe It!
Issue 33's toc should be
Galactic Patrol Jako (Cover & Lead CP)

sorry about the previous numbering
Love the top 3! One Piece remains King.
And Bleach on the verge of cancellation.
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

There's a numbering mistake for the last five. You made two series share 13th place and another two share 14th.
Alright so this ToC is somewhat unusual. World Trigger rose to 6th place. I don't have a problem with it, since I enjoy the series so it's good to see it up there. It's also good seeing Beelzebub rise up a little. Still, the unusual thing is Kuroko's and Saiki's rankings are low comparing their recent rankings.
I need to mention that the next cancellation round will begin next week. So we will have a series ending in Issue #34 and another one ending in Issue #35. It's probably going to be Cross Manage and Koisuru Edison.
WSJ Issue #33 Cover: (What's up with those LQ covers these couple of weeks)
WSJ Issue #34:

LOL, I was super tired at the time of typing. I fixed the numbering now.
I was most surprised with Kuroko. I feel that you're probably right about those two ending. Edison and Cross Manage.
And Bleach is still being cushioned by a few bottom dwellers. Also I think the sales for it are still alright. I'm interested in knowing the sale numbers for World Trigger when volume 2 comes out.
Yep you're right about Bleach. It's still selling fine.
Some people are already saying World Trigger will end because of volume 1's sales being less than 12k copies. They tend to forget that most new series sell like that. Kuroko's first volume sold less than 23k copies in its first week which is low, but look at it now . I still have hope for WT as its rankings are good, so hopefully the volume sales will increase. Also they already requested a second printing for volume 1 which means there is more demand to it than they originally thought.
Weekly Shounen Jump Rankings~?!!
I am overjoyed to see One Piece at the top, but that's quite expected of it.
Also Assassination Classroom, Shoukugeki no Soma, and Naruto are some of my favorite series to read so I'm also happy with their rankings.
Fee Fi Foe Fum
So I read Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, and it was a decent first chapter. Going into it, I didn't expect much, so I wasn't totally disappointed. As many might've predicted, this will feel more like Dr. Slump and early chapters of Dragon Ball than later chapters of DB.
I love how Toriyama gave the old man a Luffy like Straw Hat just like how Oda gave Luffy the Master Roshi mustache and beard for the Coliseum.
Oda gave Luffy a Master Roshi beard and Toriyama gave the old man a Luffy hat... Why do I not notice these things?
I was disappointed in the first chapter of Jako. Thought it would be funnier. Basically it was just 2 characters talking for 37 pages. I'll still read the next chapters to get a better idea and see the other characters. The drawings were nostalgic though.
I look forward to seeing what those new serializations, Kurokuroku and Hime Doll, look like. Hope they are Jump worthy.
Mr. Stealyogirl aka King Koopa. ;)
Yeah despite Bleach's sales (which have been slowly rising, though nowhere near what they once were), the series is generally being torn apart in the rankings...
Saw a post in mangahelpers stating that One Piece will be absent in issue #35, the July 29th issue. True or not, I hope Oda is alright.

Yes it's true. People are freaking out about this? This looks like a regularly scheduled break to me.
Update: Bleach will be on a break from Issue #35 till Issue #40. It will be back in Issue #41 which will be released in Japan on September 9th.

There Once Lived a Girl Who Seduced Her Sister's Husband, and He Hanged Himself : Love Stories, by Petrushevskaya, Ludmilla; Summers, Anna; Summers, Anna
Note: Supplemental materials are not guaranteed with Rental or Used book purchases.
- Cover: Paperback
- Copyright: 1/29/2013
Love stories, with a twist: the eagerly awaited follow-up to the great Russian writer's New York Timesbestselling scary fairy tales By turns sly and sweet, burlesque and heartbreaking, these realist fables of women looking for love are the stories that Ludmilla Petrushevskaya-who has been compared to Chekhov, Tolstoy, Beckett, Poe, Angela Carter, and even Stephen King-is best known for in Russia. Here are attempts at human connection, both depraved and sublime, by people across the life span: one-night stands in communal apartments, poignantly awkward couplings, office trysts, schoolgirl crushes, elopements, tentative courtships, and rampant infidelity, shot through with lurid violence, romantic illusion, and surprising tenderness. With the satirical eye of Cindy Sherman, Petrushevskaya blends macabre spectacle with transformative moments of grace and shows just why she is Russia's preeminent contemporary fiction writer.

In an American sports landscape dominated by four primary sports (football, baseball, basketball, and hockey), Major League Soccer has always faced an uphill battle since it's inception in the mid-90's. Some would say that the saturation point may have been reached long ago, especially with the increased popularity of fringe sports such as NASCAR and Tiger Woods'-generation golf.
But Don Garber and MLS have survived. Yes, many point to a strict financial model that restricts competitiveness on the global scene. That would be a fair argument if money was being thrown at you from networks (and 50,000 fans) to cover your sport. It is true that in the early days, MLS did have a network television contract with ABC, but between a lack of interest at the stadium as well as poor ratings, the league was hurting near the turn of the century. Eventually, MLS had to accept modest financial cable network deals from ESPN (and later FOX Soccer) to broadcast matches in what could often be described as "one-off" settings. Boom, here's the game. Boom, there it goes. No coverage, no insight, and only a fractional growth for the league.
Where the league has found success is growth through the local market. Garber has focused the owners on obtaining stadiums in markets that fit MLS. Many new venues have opened, and in those parks you often find vibrant supporters' groups and a bright base from which to build these franchises. An even more interesting case is the Seattle Sounders, who fill the lower bowl of the Seahawks' CenturyLink Field with more than 30,000 people per match. These types of fan bases create excitement, and help to attract those who may have written the league off in previous seasons.
It is at this point where Garber, US Soccer President Sunil Gulati, and the other powers that be can begin to see the fruits of the labor. Has MLS grown to the vibrant state we'd all like to see? Of course not. That's where this television deal can benefit.
As we stated in the post which contains audio from the MLS/USSoccer/NBC press conference last night, this reported $10 million per year deal for 3 years isn't as lucrative as the deal that MLS may have looked for in the past from FOX Soccer. That doesn't provide the full story, though.
With NBC merging with Comcast, it is clear that they have a network, Versus, that has lagged far behind ESPN in terms of viewership and content. The rebranding of Versus to NBC Sports Network certainly has ramifications beyond buying a few new polo shirts with a peacock logo.
NBC Sports has typically been one of the classier media entities in sports, in my opinion. Versus, on the other hand, has less polish. The two networks are rather opposite, in fact. I'd imagine that the target demographic for Versus is probably 10-20 years younger than the typical NBC Sports fan. The fact that NBC will rebrand Versus to incorporate its own call letters is a signal that legitimacy is important for the cable network going forward.
What remains to be seen is if NBC Sports Network intends to rival ESPN in all aspects. One point is crucial: Versus is carried in most cable and satellite packages, which will allow for the network to reach nearly as many viewers as ESPN. I, for one, am a sports fan that would love to see a direct competitor to the Worldwide Leader. Accompanying an established NHL product, MLS could provide an additional plank for NBC to begin to build a platform. If you then consider the possibilities of new programming surrounding Notre Dame football, the PGA, as well as Wimbledon, NBC Sports Network could blossom into a robust sports carrier, gaining legitimacy with fans across many generations and sports backgrounds. As the network grows and establishes itself, MLS is bound to benefit in ways far beyond what they could gain from a channel already serving the soccer niche in this country.
MLS has definitely grown. While it may not be the growth some would like to see, it has used somewhat limited media avenues to marginally grow the sport on a national level, while concentrating on invigorating a concentrated fan base in the local market. With this NBC Sports deal, MLS now has the chance to use this local popularity to expand to a broader audience. As NBC touts MLS matches in its' 2012 Olympics coverage, fans who may not have had access to FOX Soccer through their local cable provider could instead flip to the new NBC Sports Network to catch an LA Galaxy/Real Salt Lake match. While we'll have to wait to see if NBC Sports follows through with their declared intent, we can only hope that this marks a turn for the better in terms of media coverage of the league.

It's an answered prayer more than 60 years in the making.
A war veteran from Mercer Island has reconnected with a precious heirloom thanks to a boy from a small town in Iowa.
During his three years in the South Pacific, Ted Mogil always kept his military-issue prayer book close to his heart, carrying it in his breast pocket. He says the book helped carry him through the brutalities of World War II.
"It was just a feeling of being home. It was something that was close," said Mogil, now a spry 85 years old. After the war, Mogil returned home to his native Nebraska where he married his wife, Etta, 64. The couple moved to California in 1948, but the book was lost and left behind. "I didn't know where it disappeared to," Mogil said.
The Marine's prayer book was MIA for 61 years - until last week, when the phone rang. Twelve-year-old Wil Beach from Harlan, Iowa was on the other end. Mogil thought it was a crank call at first, but then heard the boy's excited shouts to his dad. "He turned to his father and said, 'Dad, dad! This is the man!'" Mogil said.
The prayer book had ended up in a pile of books the Mogils had donated to their synagogue before leaving Nebraska. Young Wil recently bought it for $15 at a book fair while visiting Omaha, and made it his mission to find its owner. "He did what's called a mitzvah, a blessing," Mogil said. It's a blessing that Ted Mogil says he couldn't appreciate more. "That book carried me through some really tough times. It was one of the things that really helped me a lot," he said. "Now that I'm 85 years old maybe it will help me a lot right now." (King5)

text: Titanic is a 1997 American epic romantic disaster drama film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. A fictionalized account of what happened to the RMS Titanic, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage. Cameron's inspiration for the film came from his fascination with shipwrecks; he felt a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to convey the emotional message of the disaster. Production began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. ... more on Wikipedia


text: William 5,939 Staff #1 Posted February 13, 2015 by David Mathis The term hypostatic union is much easier than it sounds, but the concept is as profound as anything in theology. The English adjective hypostatic comes from the Greek word hupostasis. The word only appears four times in the New Testament—maybe most memorably in Hebrews 1:3, where Jesus is said to be "the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature." Here the author of Hebrews uses the word in reference to the oneness of God. Both the Father and the Son are of the same "nature." Jesus is "the exact imprint of his nature." However, in early church discussions, as Greek thinkers tried to find agreeable terms with those who spoke in Latin, the word hupostasis came to denote not the sameness in the Godhead (God's one essence) but the distinctness (the three persons). So it began to be used to refer to something like the English word person. The Personal Union of Jesus' Two Natures So "hypostatic union" may sound fancy in English, but it's a pretty simple term. Hypostatic means personal. The hypostatic union is the personal union of Jesus' two natures. Jesus has two complete natures—one fully human and one fully divine. What the doctrine of the hypostatic union teaches is that these two natures are united in one person in the God-man. Jesus is not two persons. He is one person. The hypostatic union is the joining of the divine and the human in the one person of Jesus. What Is the Significance? Why bother with this seemingly fancy term? What good is it to know about this hypostatic union? At the end of the day, the term can go, but the concept behind the term is infinitely precious—and worshipfully mind-stretching. It is immeasurably sweet—and awe-inspiring—to know that Jesus' two natures are perfectly united in his one person. Jesus is not divided. He is not two people. He is one person. As the Chalcedonian Creed states, his two natures are without confusion, without change, without division, and without separation. Jesus is one. This means Jesus is one focal point for our worship. And as Jonathan Edwards preached, in this one-person God-man we find "an admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies." Because of this hypostatic, one-person union, Jesus Christ exhibits an unparalleled magnificence. No one person satisfies the complex longings of the human heart like the God-man. God has made the human heart in such a way that it will never be eternally content with that which is only human. Finitude can't slake our thirst for the infinite. And yet, in our finite humanity, we are significantly helped by a point of correspondence with the divine. God was glorious long before he became a man in Jesus. But we are human beings, and unincarnate deity doesn't connect with us in the same way as the God who became human. The conception of a god who never became man (like Allah) will not satisfy the human soul like the God who did. One Person, For Us And beyond just gazing at the spectacular person of Jesus, there is also the amazing gospel-laced revelation that the reason Jesus became the God-man was for us. His fully human nature joined in personal union to his eternally divine nature is permanent proof that Jesus, in perfect harmony with his Father, is undeterrably for us. He has demonstrated his love for us in that while we were still sinners, he took our nature to his one person and died for us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has been a very busy year for our family again and I have not really blogged since the New Year. But here we are again in June and I need to pop up this year's birthday bash.
The decision was made quite early on for a spa party, the Monster High theme came later.
The girls had a wonderful day and I have a few thank you's as well.
Firstly, to Lyndall Gravis for doing an awesome job of making the girls look freakishly fabulous with her amazing face painting and make up.
Then to Cheryl Glidden of Decor-Cake for Isabella's beautiful and delicious Monster High cake!
Lastly, many thanks to Lisa Schmidt Photography for the beautiful images she created for our day. Also see Lisa at Lisa Schmidt Photography
There was a lot of emotion on this day also as we had just received the most amazingly wonderful news the day before that Dan, My husband and Isabella's Daddy has finally achieved complete remission after battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma for the past 2 and 1/2 years.
So please enjoy the pics and feel free to ask about anything.
Welcome to the party!!

Staff writer
George Spohn of Burns didn't bother looking at the price of his bottled water; he knew it could be too expensive. And then, he got to the cash register.
"Your total comes to $10.28," the store worker said, looking at him expectantly.
His jaw dropped instantly, shocked that someone would pay that much for "a little bit of aqua." Still, he was thirsty and needed a drink. So, he begrudgingly got out his wallet and found a $10 bill and some change. It was then that he realized something: he wasn't in Kansas anymore.
George and Amy Spohn visited their children Emily and Alexander the week before Easter in New York City, and spent some time by themselves, looking at various tourist attractions in the city. They were able to see sights — like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building — but they said they learned a more important lesson: to budget more money when they go on a trip.
"I never thought things would be so darn expensive," he said. "It was highway robbery. If anyone tried to pull that kind of thing around here, they would be out of business in a heartbeat."
George Spohn said the only way they could stay on budget was to eat at McDonalds and other fast food restaurants in the city. Once, he said, their children took them out to dinner. It was a lovely meal, but it cost almost $200.
"I only ordered spaghetti," George Spohn exclaimed. "You can buy that here at the store for 99 cents. Mind you, it was good but it wasn't that good."
George Spohn said the trip opened his eyes to the importance of keeping a budget.
"I haven't always kept track of my personal finances; I just bought what I needed, when I needed it," he said. "But now, I am more careful. Just seeing all that frivolous spending made me nervous."
Spohn said he remembers one time in particular during the trip when he saw a man in his 20s buy a small bag of peanuts for $5 at a corner convenience store — and then threw it away seconds later so that he could go into a department store without any food in his hands.
"There were benches right there," he said. "He could have sat down, eaten his peanuts, and then gone into the store. I like shopping as much as the next person — but that is just ridiculous."
Amy Spohn said her husband hasn't taken much interest in the household's finances and welcomes his newfound desire to make sure that they have enough money for what they need.
"He's no longer spending money on his sweet tooth; he used to go out and buy gummy worms every day," she said. "Now he sticks to what we have in the house. He's wants to balance the checkbook. I don't know how I feel about that, but at least he cares."
The Spohns are currently trying to persuade their children to keep an expense record and to care about the money they spend.
"They'll go out to dinner or the movies every night — just because they feel like it," George Spohn said. "That's just not a good enough reason. They're going to have to learn that one day they're going to have a family and children to support — and they'll want to have a little nest egg. A little planning goes a long way."
He said he is proud of Gov. Sam Brownback and President Barack Obama for passing proclamations, encouraging Americans to be smart about their finances.
"We used to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt," he said. "Now (almost 20 years later) were doing pretty good, if I do say so myself. We've paid off our mortgage and we don't have six credit cards."
He admitted that was mostly due to the dedication his wife had to keeping their cost of living low, but said he is now on board.
"If we are able to save now, we'll be able to have a decent retirement," he said. "If not, we might end up in the gutter. It's a motivation, that's for sure."

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
Paladin - A technological steampunk mecha-warrior. His steed is an automaton and his armor is fitted with gears and a small engine. A machine in his armor produces his auras, and his holy symbol is a clockwork device that repels undead.
Wizard - Like SE, I can see this going either way. But given 3.5's approach to wizards as magicians who use written knowledge rather than inherent abilities, I would go technological. The magic itself could be scientific - I see a staff with vacuum tubes and vials, not unlike an alchemist but with more an emphasis on the usage of energy for spells.
WuJen - Again, based on 3.5 setting, a technological magic user, but with more eastern flavor. Alternatively, this could be a wild hedge-wizard who relies solely on the elements. So maybe both.
Ninja - A technological sneak who uses chemistry and mechanics to make himself disappear.
Swashbuckler - Going naturalist, a boastful warrior like Beowulf but who relies on finesse. Arm with some more primitive weapon than a rapier (a handaxe or even a short spear would play the part) and they can sail a longship as an wandering warrior.
Favored Soul - Innate and untrained says naturalist to me.
Samurai - I'm seeing a variation of the samurai that uses wooden armor plates and armed with macuahuitls. They keep the dedication to honor you'd expect, but don't rely on steel.
Artificer - Depending on how developed your industrial society is, this would be the automaton-repairing folk. But if they're not that far, I might suggest naturalist: they scavenge material they find to create wondrous items, relying more on ingenuity than technology.
Archivist - A naturalist shaman who knots her spells on khipu wrapped in coils around her body rather than in the wizard's scrolls and books. Her knowledge comes from experience, stories of ancestors, generations-old khipu entrusted to her, and strange dreams from the gods she must interpret.
Monk - Instinct says naturalist, but it's also plausible to imagine a character that withdraws from the noisy industry of a technological society to contemplate and develop their mystical body.
I get the argument about monk more readily. It makes sense for a monk to be abhorrent of technological society. But it could also be an enclave within that society, reflective and hermetic. If you want to take it up another techno-notch, perhaps that various monk abilities are replaced with bio-tech enhancements that have to be installed when acquired (e.g., a mechanical arm replacement that provides the oomph in a ki strike).
Although I'd figure if they aren't enemies, they at least would have different enough viewpoints to not share much culturally.

Both of them are photographers, and Keva admired his work enough to inquire about him taking some birthday photos for her. "Initially, Keva wanted to shoot in Nassau," Leo explains, "but I was persistent insisting about shooting in her hometown Bimini because I've always wanted to visit." Their connection was instant, and there were many signs from the Lord up above that told Leo he should make Keva his wife. With the help of Keva's pastor, family and close friends, he pulled off a memorable engagement that is wife will cherish for eternity. "I felt his words with every fiber of my being and I said YES! ," Keva remembers. "There were no tears on the outside, but inside, my heart was crying and leaping for joy."Thanks to the help of their inner circle, Leo and Keva received help with their DIY accouterments which allowed them to stay on budget.

Charlie Hugh Armstrong, 87, of Chattanooga, passed away on Monday, August 5, 2019, in Jacksonville, Florida.

The only thing I buy from the U.S. is some of our greens that we use to make arrangements. We get stuff from the west coast, the northwest of the United States, and we get some stuff from Florida. In the summer, we use a lot of locally grown flowers, like sunflowers. There's an Amish family that we've worked with for like 15 years that grows a lot of our sunflowers that we use during the summer. We don't get any greenhouse-grown flowers anymore."BW: How often do you or someone from Royer's travel out of the country to inspect flowers? TR: "At least two or three times a year. I go to all the farms that I buy roses from to go inspect them. While they're in the process of cutting them, harvesting them, I'm there seeing what they're doing to make sure that the cut point on the rose is right: it's not too far open, it's not too tight, I check on the head size to make sure the size of the flower is the right number of centimeters and also to make sure they're fresh. After I do that inspection, I'm there for two or three days, and then I fly into Miami where we fly our flowers and they clear customs there, and I inspect them again to make sure everything is OK, then we load them on our refrigerated trucks to ship them up here to Pennsylvania."BW: How has the internet changed the flower business? TR: "I would say about half of our business runs through the internet. It's been very helpful for us for communication and showing people what we have. One of the biggest issues we had at Valentine's Day before the advent of the internet, we couldn't handle the volume of business on Valentine's Day because we didn't have enough infrastructure to be able to deal with it. We needed 100 phone lines instead of 12. We just didn't have enough structure. People waited until the last minute. It's been a wonderful thing."BW: Are there any plans for additional Royer's locations? TR: "We're always looking at potential growth through acquisition. There are always things out there that we're aware of, nothing that I can report. We're always looking to grow."BW: Do you think your grandparents would have ever imagined the company would get as big as it is? TR: "No. My dad told me when he was younger he wanted to be the largest florist in Lebanon County. Back then, there was a lot of flower shops in Lebanon. It was very competitive. There was a lot of really good family businesses that were florists. It was a constant struggle with competition, but he eventually realized his goal of being the largest florist in Lebanon County and now we're probably the largest florist in the country because of our size. They never had an idea that it would grow to the size it is today."BW: Are you indeed the largest florist in the country? TR: "I'm pretty sure about that, because I know all the biggest florists in the country, and we're bigger than all of them. Grocery store chains sell a lot more flowers than I do by sheer numbers. But a traditional retail flower shop, we're the largest in the country."— Interview by Brad RhenFYIAge: 63Residence: Hummelstown, Dauphin CountyEducation: Penn State, 1977, business; Lebanon High School, 1973Work History: After college worked at a Whataburger in Texas for two years.

Spring training ticket sales are brisk
Individual spring training tickets went on sale for the first time this morning in both Philadelphia and Clearwater…in person, by phone and online on this site.
Describing the sales as brisk is putting it mildly. Lines formed outside the six Bright House Field ticket windows which were to open at 9. Seeing the long lines, the windows opened 30 minutes early. Citizens Bank Park's two windows that also opened early.
Online and by phone sales also began at 9. Online is the easiest way to be a fan these days.
The first game that sold out was March 17, St. Patrick's Day, when the green-jersey, green-cap Phillies host the World Champion Yankees and their large green payroll.
A couple decades ago, tickets in spring training was an entirely different story. We didn't start to sell tickets until a few weeks prior to camp opening. The ticket office consisted of one room and three windows at Jack Russell Stadium. It was the only place tickets could be purchased. Once in a while, there would be a line of fans purchasing tickets. That was rare.
Even longer ago, we used to carry tickets in our pockets and give them away to people. "Would you like to go to a Phillies game? Here are four tickets." The Clearwater Bombers were a pro, fast-pitch softball team back in the 1960s that was better known in Clearwater than the big league Phillies.
Times have changed. A Grapefruit League game at Bright House Field is some kind of fan experience, the best in Florida.
I can't wait and apparently neither can the fans.

Got mine this morning for Phils/Yanks on 3/22. Watch out Florida!
You know me, I got my little porch seats for the Rays and the Phillies match-ups where I can chat with Danys Baez and JC Romero as they come out to the Phillies Bullpen.
Always look forward to a day in the sun in Clearwater.
Hope you get there again this year!
Rays Renegade
Brisk is an understatement! I was poised to purchase tickets to the 3/17 game the moment the clock hit 9, and there was already nothing left but berm tickets! Bought them anyway of course. Can't wait to get back to the warm sunshine and palm trees!

The Rescue 915 crew of the Canadian Forces' 103 Search and Rescue Squadron.
AgustaWestland has awarded the 2012 Cormorant Trophy to the Rescue 915 crew of the 103 Search and Rescue Squadron at Canadian Forces Base Gander in Newfoundland. The Rescue 915 crew was recognized for their October 2011 rescue of two walrus hunters that were stranded on an ice flow in the Arctic Sea. While the AgustaWestland AW101 was en route to the hunters, the crew received word that two SAR Techs from the 424 Squadron at Canadian Forces Base Trenton in Ontario—which had parachuted from a CC-130 into the water to assist the hunters—had activated their personal locator beacons. Upon arriving, Rescue 915 was greeted with wind gusts of 55 mph and 32-foot-high waves that tossed large chunks of ice into the air. Using a hoist and rescue horse collar, both the hunters and 424 SAR Techs were rescued from life rafts. The Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators (GAPAN) recognized both SAR teams with the Guild Award for Gallantry.

The European Commission helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to overcome weaknesses in the financial markets by working with various financial institutions to provide them with funding.
This is done using EU financial instruments (see below) to increase the opportunities for small businesses to obtain finance from banks, through guarantee providers, and via venture capital funds.
The Commission also helps EU countries to share good policy on improving access to finances and to benefit from the experience of others in areas.
Initiatives exist in the areas of:
EU financial instruments are risk-sharing schemes such as guarantees backed by EU funds to financial intermediaries who provide lending, lease finance, or co-investments with venture capital funds.
This support is channelled through reputable financial intermediaries such as banks, lessors, mutual guarantee societies, microfinance providers, and venture capital funds, who are closer to the final beneficiaries and are well qualified to judge their needs.
Decisions to provide loans, guarantees, or venture capital are made by the local financial institutions. The exact financing conditions (such as the amount, duration, interest rate, and fees) depend on the financial institution.
EU financial instruments are market-driven – there are no country allocations and the availability of funding depends on the interest of local financial institutions taking part in the scheme. It is the financial intermediaries who create individual products suited to the needs of SMEs in their market.

masterson of the universe
It seems that now with addition of Souvaniers that Groundspeak is trying to tie into social networking? There isn't enough info out there yet in regards to what exactly these souvaniers actually are. Im assuming that just like Foursquare, Gowalla, Waze, Yelp, etc, that these will just be virtual status symbols added to your profile. The About Souvaniers (http://www.geocaching.com/about/souvenirs.aspx)page doesnt give much info either. I'm assuming that there is very little actually ready to go on this as it states that you're already found caches will generate a souvanier if you've located a cache in a designated area. I know I only have 640 finds but they are scattered all over the state so perhaps Maine doesnt have any designated areas yet? Also, they reference searching for the zones on phones. Im assuming that only the Groundspeak paid app will display these zones. Any one have more information in regards to this new addition?
