A check in the mail is always a good thing. Two checks are even better. Two unexpected checks are better yet.
Members and patrons of the Southern States Shelbyville Cooperative got checks in the mail last week as the local cooperative dissolved its assets. Last June, the Shelbyville cooperative voted to go out of business and join the larger, regional Southern States Cooperative. The change took effect July 1, and co-op officials marked a grand reopening in mid-September.

Total number of Participants: 79
Reporting of Actions taken by the Agency to Reduce Conference Expenses
As required by Presidential Executive Order 13589 "Promoting Efficient Spending" and OMB Memorandum 12-12 "Promoting Efficient Spending to Support Agency Operations", the Department of Labor has taken the measures below to reduce spending on conferences:
- Established a stringent Conference Review and Approval Process by which agencies must submit all conference plans and proposed expenses for review and approval. The plans are reviewed by a conference review panel and approved by the Department's Senior Executive official for conferences. In addition, conferences that exceed $100,000 must be reviewed and approved by the Deputy Secretary, and those that exceed $500,000 are subject to a process by which the Secretary of Labor must waive federal expense limitations on conferences, review and approve. Experience indicates that conferences in excess of $500,000 are rare within the Department of Labor.
- Promoted the use of Webinar, WebEx, Teleconference and other electronic alternatives to in-person conference attendance, in order to reduce conference and travel expenses.
- Post-Conference Review Process: The Department's Office of the Chief Financial Officer has developed a post-conference review process to ensure that actual costs did not exceed that which was approved through the conference review process.
- Education: The Department's conference review panel regularly meets and confers with requesting agencies to provide agency personnel with guidance on methods to reduce spending, to include reducing the number of attendees in travel status, reducing the level of extraneous expenses, etc. This process has resulted in reduced conference expenses.
Note: OMB Guidance does not require the reporting of net conference expenditures for the fiscal year and therefore the Department is not reporting net expenditures on its website. However, the Department maintains net conference spending data, should this become a requirement and/or if the OMB requests this data in the future.
If there are any questions concerning this reporting, or if additional information is required. Please contact Cynthia Jones, Office of the Chief Financial Officer at email@example.com.

This chapter tells how to backup and restore both small and large directories. It contains these topics:
Introduction to Backing Up and Restoring Oracle Internet Directory
Backing Up and Restoring a Small Directory or Specific Naming Context
You can back up a small directory or a specific naming context by using
ldifwrite. For larger directories, perform an Oracle Fusion Middleware backup. See the chapters on backup and recovery in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
To backup and restore a small directory or specific naming context in directory, do the following:
Back up the node, as follows:
Ensure that the environment variable ORACLE_INSTANCE is set correctly.
Ensure all Oracle Internet Directory servers, both LDAP and replication, are stopped on the node.
Enter this command:
ldifwrite connect="connect_string" basedn="naming_context" \ ldiffile="backup.ldif"
Start the directory server on the new node by entering this command:
opmnctl startproc process-type=OID
Load data into the new node by using the
bulkload utility. Enter this command:
bulkload connect="connect_string" check="TRUE" generate="TRUE" \ load="TRUE" restore="TRUE" append="TRUE" file="/complete_path/backup.ldif"
Note:If you back up data from an earlier version of Oracle Internet Directory, such as 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2), then restore it on a node running 10g (10.1.4.0.1) or later, you must update the password policy entries as described in "Password Policy and Fan-out Replication" on page 30-32.
For instructions on backing up and restoring a large directory, see the backup and recovery chapter in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

Version Information
Manx Gaelic (Gaelg) is the native language of the Isle of Man (Ellan Vannin), which is a self-governing British island in the Irish Sea between Britain and Ireland. It is a Gaelic language related to Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) and Scots Gaelic (Gàidhlig) but with its own orthography closer to English style spelling. The language is regulated by the Manx Gaelic Advisory Council (Coonceil ny Gaelgey). Since 1985 Manx has been an official language of the Isle of Man along with English.
Gospel of John 1936
The New Testament was firts published in Manx in 1767, and the Bible was first published as one volume in 1775. The British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS) published the Manx New Testament (Conaant Noa) in 1810, and then the whole Manx Bible (Yn Vible Casherick), excluding the Apocrypha, in 1819. BFBS reprinted the 1819 Gospel of John (Noo Ean) in 1936. This was reprinted by the Manx Gaelic Society (Yn Çheshaght Ghailckagh) in 1968 with a list of Errata, which have been incorporated into this text as footnotes.
Digital Edition
This text was digitised in 2014 by the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS), from an original in their archives. This was done as part of a programme to digitise the historic translations in the native British languages, and to mark the 250th anniversary of the first Manx New Testament in 1767.

If the assembled video game reviewers were a lazier bunch, they'd simply release a short blurb with each new Madden game calling it the best official NFL console game of the year.
Luckily for fans of the Frankenreview, those game reviewers are made of sterner, more critical stuff. Instead of noting that Madden NFL 12 is the only official NFL game coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this year, they've gone ahead and created a series of neatly organized narratives explaining what the latest installment gets wrong or right. How convenient!
We've taken some of these, cut them into pieces, and stitched them back together here for your critical reading enjoyment. Does Madden NFL 12 make the grade, or am I going to have to bust out another of my startlingly few negative football terms?
Giant Bomb
In researching my review of Madden NFL 12, I decided to go back and re-read portions of my previous Madden reviews over the course of the last decade. As I read those reviews, a trend emerged, revealing a pattern in the developers' goals that went in a cyclical fashion. One year, the offense was the focus. In another, defense. In one year, casual players were targeted, and in another, the more hardcore set. One year saw major graphical improvements, while another worked on the audio presentation. It's a seesaw effect that, while not directly year-to-year, amounts to a sense of perpetual unrest. Certainly this is true of any game on a yearly development cycle, but with Madden, that cyclical pattern often runs counter to the notion of "yearly progression." If anything, it creates just as many years of depressing regression. With Madden NFL 12, this year is such a year.
This year is a "hardcore" year. It's also a defensive year, and a graphics year. Put those together, and you should have a game with great new defensive controls, tons of mode tweaks and balances, and stellar visuals, with some glaring issues left unaddressed in the realms of offense, interface, and audio. I can say the latter is true. Not quite as much the former.
...as flawed as Madden NFL 12 is in some ways, there's no denying that it's a big improvement over its predecessor. The physics are tighter and the A.I. is quite a bit nastier than in Madden 11. Suction blocks are a thing of the past now, and the result is a much more robust pass rush. In general, the defense is tougher than it's been since Madden '05, which should be music to the ears of fans who have tired of beating the CPU 95-7 every single match.
If anything, it's made me realize that I've developed some bad habits in playing Madden 11. I constantly underestimate the new and improved zone defense, which was more or less useless in last year's edition (with a few notable exceptions, of course), and the result has been a ton of picks. I'm not complaining though, because it's forcing me to be smarter and play "real" football — as opposed to the arcade game that was Madden 11.
Games Radar
EA is touting its new presentation heavily, but it's a mixed bag. Visually, player models are crisper than ever, and the new camera angles liven up the game a bit. Gone are most of the oft-repeating in-game scenes from last season. Even so, there are still the occasional gaffes, such as split-second hiccups before and after the snap and the never-solved problem of players magically melting into referees (and each other). Even worse – and less forgivable – is the commentary. Gus Johnson and Cris Collinsworth recycle more material than a Poison-Ratt-Cinderella summer amusement park concert, and make flat-out mistakes on a regular basis too. By about our third game, we were already sick of it. It's a terrible oversight that takes away from an otherwise solid presentation.
Official Xbox Magazine
Madden's ancillary modes continue to grow. We enjoyed Madden Moments Live's up-to-date re-creations of the season's highlight plays and comebacks, but Franchise Mode remains the meat of the game, adding enough new features (hot and cold streaks!) to warrant the bulk of your time. It's just too bad that the menus are pitifully slow and annoying to navigate. You're constantly asked whether you want to overwrite previous save files, and it takes a full three requests to quit out of a game. Worse, load times between menu layers are eternal. We just want to play football!
Game Boyz
The online gameplay seems to have been given a boost this year as well and offers up some of the broadest online feature sets we have seen in a sports game to date. Modes include Madden Ultimate Team, Online Franchise, Head to Head Play, Leaderboards and Online Communities. Your core online modes are all back, so I won't examine the old and instead focus on some of the new additions to the online arena. The online communities appear to be the single biggest boost the Madden online experience. You can create and join a community with up to 2000 other like-minded gamers. You can play head to head against each other with your own rules and even your own leaderboards. Each community can have anywhere between 2 and 2000 gamers. Each gamer can now be a part of five different online communities.
Gaming Age
There really isn't much more to say after all this, except if you haven't played Madden in a while, have been a fan, or just love football, you owe it to yourself to become intoxicated with Madden NFL 12 as it is in the opinion of this reviewer the most polished, accurate, and realistic NFL game to ever grace a video game console. I can't give it any more accolades than that...which just goes to show how impressed with this game I really am. I honestly could write all day about how much this game rocks, but instead, how about we just end this review and you be your own judge. I highly doubt we will be in much disagreement. Finally the Madden franchise can be exactly what the EA Sports tag line says... "it's in the game". For Madden NFL 12 it is truly in the game, it has game, and is the only and best NFL game to date.
Touchdown? Fumble? I'm just going to throw out random football terminology until I get it right.

PASADENA, Calif.—Brett Hundley passed for 234 yards and a touchdown and rushed for two more scores as No. 17 UCLA beat No. 21 Southern California 38-28 Saturday, clinching the Pac-12 South title and emphatically snapping a five-game losing streak in their crosstown showdown.
Eric Kendricks blocked a punt and made a fourth-quarter interception for the Bruins (9-2, 6-2 Pac-12), who overcame intermittent second-half rain and USC"s star-studded lineup for a gutsy victory that puts them atop Los Angeles" football hierarchy.
A year after USC obliterated the Bruins 50-0 in a game that led to a coaching change in Westwood, UCLA punctuated its one-year revitalization under Jim Mora with its first win over the Trojans (7-4, 5-4) since 2006—just their second in 14 years.
Matt Barkley passed for 301 yards and two touchdowns, but threw two interceptions in the Trojans" third loss in four games.
USC was the preseason"s No. 1 team, but will return to the postseason in a lower-tier bowl after next week"s regular-season finale against Notre Dame.
Johnathan Franklin rushed for 171 yards and two touchdowns for UCLA, including a clutch 29-yard scoring run with 4:02 to play. Sheldon Price then blocked USC"s field-goal attempt with 1:34 left, and the Bruins stormed the field after the final gun before celebrating with students in the corner of the Rose Bowl.
Shaquelle Evans had eight catches for 114 yards for UCLA, which clinched a spot in the Pac-12 title game in two weeks with its fifth consecutive win. The Bruins also played in that game last year, but only by default after finishing two games behind postseason-banned USC.
Everything has changed in Los Angeles this season: UCLA entered this showdown with a higher ranking and more victories than USC for the first time in a decade, and the Bruins backed it up with a decisive win.
Franklin and Joseph Fauria scored while UCLA jumped out to an early 24-0 lead under a morning mist that turned into serious rain by halftime at the Rose Bowl.
USC trimmed its huge early deficit to 24-20 on George Uko"s fumble recovery in the end zone in the third quarter. The Trojans pulled within 31-28 with Marqise Lee"s 14-yard TD catch and a 2-point conversion with 7:22 to play.
But Hundley and the Bruins coolly mounted an 83-yard drive, converting a long third down before Franklin—UCLA"s career rushing leader, nicknamed Jet Ski—sped across the watery turf for the clinching score.
While Hundley led UCLA with the same preternatural calm he has shown all year, going 22 for 30 without an interception, Barkley threw an interception on the game"s first play and rarely looked comfortable.
Barkley was hammered on a blind-side sack by UCLA"s Anthony Barr with 2:21 to play, spending a long moment on the Rose Bowl turf before walking off gingerly. He watched USC"s final drive from the sideline while backup Max Wittek played.
Nelson Agholor and Randall Telfer caught TD passes for the Trojans, and Curtis McNeal rushed for 158 yards. Lee had nine catches for 158 yards, and All-American Robert Woods had five catches for 68 yards.
The teams both wore their home jerseys on the verdant Rose Bowl turf in a return to the distinctive tradition that was revived a few years ago. UCLA abandoned the tradition last year, inexplicably choosing its rivalry game to debut an all-white ensemble that hasn"t been seen since its 50-point thrashing.
After Aaron Hester intercepted Barkley"s first pass into double coverage, Hundley scored on a 1-yard keeper just 81 seconds in to give UCLA its first lead in the rivalry game since 2008. The interception was Barkley"s 14th of the season, doubling his total as a junior and matching his mark as a mediocre freshman in 2009.
Moments later, UCLA mounted an 18-play, 84-yard drive stretching more than 7 1/2 minutes, with Hundley completing his first 10 passes before the Bruins hit a field goal.
After Lee fumbled while curiously lined up as a tailback, UCLA scored on Hundley"s pretty fade to the 6-foot-7 Fauria. Franklin"s 16-yard TD run up the middle in the second quarter.
USC"s offense finally came alive in the final minutes of the first half, with Barkley leading two drives ending in TD throws to Agholor and Telfer.
A significant rain began to fall at halftime, and it immediately bothered the Bruins on a wacky play during their opening drive. Hundley and Franklin both fumbled before two diving linemen knocked the ball into the end zone, where Uko fell on it.
But after Kendricks blocked Kyle Negrete"s punt, Hundley scored again from 3 yards out for UCLA"s third TD on a short drive set up by its defense and special teams.

|MLBPA Press Release
We were shaken and deeply saddened when we learned about the terrible accident that claimed the lives of Nick Adenhart and others. Just hours before the accident, Nick demonstrated his passion for baseball and his prospects for a very bright future when he pitched six scoreless innings for the Angels. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nicks family, his teammates, the Angels organization and his many friends and fans; It is very painful to lose a son, a teammate and a friend under these circumstances, and we also extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the other victims of the crash.

Racing into a new conference, with its top four runners back, New Bern cross country coach Mark Robison likes his team's chances of winning a title.
Racing into a new conference, with its top four runners back, New Bern cross country coach Mark Robison likes his team's chances of winning a title.
�We should win a conference championship in this new conference with what we've got,� Robison said. �We raced those teams last year in the ECU Pirate Invitational and did real well against them.�
The boys' team finished fourth in the Mideastern Conference last season. It will no longer compete against the Wilmington schools. Instead, the Bears will run against J.H. Rose, D.H. Conley, South Central, C.B. Aycock, Eastern Wayne and Southern Wayne.
Leading the boys will be last year's No. 1 Marcellus White, followed closely by Jarrett Gingrich. Neither made states last year, but after an offseason of getting better, Robison hopes they can qualify this year.
�I would love to see Jarrett and Marcellus move on to the states this year,� Robison said. �Jarrett has really come on this past year. His last 5K was back in May and he ran a 17:30. He could be at 17 flat by the end of the season.
�We are looking for him, and Marcellous, to start the year there.�
Rhett Simpson and Frank Wood should also contribute to the team scoring.
The girls didn't lose anyone from last season. They even gained six newcomers.
Sara Snyder and Stacy Parton are New Bern's top two runners, while Caitlin Gross will likely be the third.
Last season, the girls came in last in the Mideastern Conference.
�It's kind of early,� Robison said. �Stacy and Sara are my top two right now. I'm looking for a better performance than last year. With what we have, I know we are going to do that.�
Prichard set to pace Rams
HAVELOCK � As a team, last year, the Havelock's boys' cross country team qualified for the state meet.
Only one of those runners is back � rising junior Jeremy Prichard.
Prichard, however, has been to the state meet the past two seasons. He will likely be the Rams' top runner this season.
�He knows what we have to do, how to lead and how we have to run. He know what it takes to get to states.�
Prichard will be joined by John Warfield and John Ballarta with the top three times. Alejandro Gutierez, Nick Lynch and Justin Sabdo are also on the boys' squad.
Havelock lost Zack Bruns, Matt Prichard and Matt Brown from last year's group.
�I have a young team,� said Garvey. �I'm looking for growth from them. I'd like to make it to state, but realistically, it is going to be tough.�
Havelock's girls team has just seven runners.
Lisa Furness, Elizabeth Guevera and Suzy Bean are slated as the top three runners, followed by Leeza Calabrese and Savannah Thornton.
�I'm real thin this year,� Garvey said. �We are real young. I have two freshmen, two sophomores and three seniors.�
Spain, Ehmke tops for Pamlico
BAYBORO � Michael Spain emerged as Pamlico's best runner. It was at a cross country meet at Dixon last season when he set a personal record and declared his role on the team.
He was the team's Most Valuable Runner, a title he hopes to carry over to this season.
�Michael is going to do real good for us,� said Pamlico boys' cross country coach Paul Delamar. �I'm hoping he is going to pick up where he left off. He had a strong finish last year.�
Spain, and last year's version of the Hurricanes, finished 13th at the state championships.
From the out-set of the year, Delamar told his team they have all the potential to win conference and regionals, and then fare better at states.
�I was real clear at the beginning that I think this team has the potential to win a conference and regional championship,� Delamar said.
The Hurricanes lost a strong runner in John Paxton, who transferred. They bring back Justin Spruill, Tyler Ellenberg and Devin Bell, and have a few promising freshmen..
Megan Ehmke returns as the leader of the girls' team. Just like last year, she's expected to lead the pack.
�She comes to practice every day and puts in a good effort,� said Pamlico girls' coach Rusty Meador. �She is excited about doing some good things in her last year.�
Mariah Meador has a chance to push for the top spot, while Olivia Sawyer will most likely have the third best time. Nicole Edwards, Sam Thall and Alexis Edwards, along with freshmen Faith Poole and Lizeth Mendoza are on the squad.
�I'm looking for them to improve their times and return to the state meet, which is our ultimate goal,� Meador said. �We would like to see our team come together and compete strongly with the other teams in the conference.�
Gray, Hoard seeking state titles
McKinley Gray is looking to become the first four-time all-state cross-country runner in the short history of The Epiphany School.
Gray, a rising senior, came so close to winning a state championship the past two years, but settled for second after getting edged out by nemesis Connor Jones from Wayne Christian School.
New head coach Ryan Albertson believes Gray has a shot to eclipse his running rival.
�(McKinley) is a great leader. He is working really hard, and committed himself to a big summer of training,� Albertson said. �He's been a big help, especially for me as a new coach coming in.
�He should have a great year this year.�
As a group, Epiphany's boys placed third at last year's North Carolina Independent School Athletic Association championships.
Albertson said the goal is a team state title.
Joining Gray will be Jake Oros, James Davis, Andrew Haddad and Burke Whaley.
�As a team, we are trying for that state title. We will see a lot more competition, but they are really committed to the process of training hard every day and taking care of the little things.�
On the girls' side, Lake Hoard is aiming to defend the state title she claimed last year.
�She's been great. She's in better shape than when she came in last year,� Albertson said. �She had a good summer and she is healthy.
�She is a competitor. She wants to work and it's going to be exciting to see her run to what she is capable of.�
The Epiphany girls are also relying on contributions from Hannah Russo, Even Johnson, Jane Blackerby and Joy Whittaker.
Eagles guided by new coach
VANCEBORO � West Craven�s boys and girls cross-country teams have a new leader this season.
Eagles� baseball coach Mike McKeel is taking over and he is very familiar with many of his runners, as most of them double as members of the baseball team.
McKeel is coaching cross-country this season instead of helping out with the football team as he did a year ago.
�I wanted to try it and it is a lot easier on my schedule as far as family time goes,� McKeel said. �I have a lot of my baseball guys on the boys� team and there are a couple basketball ladies on the girls� team. We are just going to try and learn together and plug away to be competitive.�
Justin Taylor, Anthony Rossi, Blaze Hill, Jason Parker, Gavin Hill and Hunter Allen are among the boys competing.
Lauryn Cox, Ronkeia Lewis, Mary Latham and Katlyne McKeel are a few girls.
�We are hoping to have somebody break the 20-minute mark at some point this year,� McKeel said. �We�ll set some goals and just run out there and try our best to reach them.�
McKeel said cross country is a great tool to stay in shape for his baseball guys and the girls playing basketball this winter.

Walter scores game-winner, Bronke tallies first career goal in 3-0 victory
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Suffering a disappointing loss to IPFW last year in Oxford, the Miami University women's soccer team made sure history did not repeat itself Friday night as the RedHawks avenged their 2012 loss with a 3-0 victory over the Mastodons at Hefner Soccer Field. Miami (3-1-0), which has now won its last three matches, fell to IPFW (2-3-0) in double overtime a season ago despite more than doubling them in shots.
"I thought it was a solid, professional effort on our part tonight. IPFW is a tough, competitive team and they came at us hard all night long," head coach Bobby Kramig said. "Our kids did a good job keeping their composure and staying on task all night."
For the second straight match, the RedHawks dominated the opening period and wasted little time scoring on Friday. After earning a corner kick in the 14th minute, junior midfielder Kelsey Dinges sent the ball into the box, where it bounced around until sophomore midfielder Haley Walter connected with the ball and put it in the upper right corner of the frame for a 1-0 Miami lead and her first tally of the year.
The RedHawks continued to keep the pressure on IPFW. In the 26th minute, Dinges nearly scored herself on a free kick, but her blast rang off the crossbar. Miami did double its lead in the 41st minute. After another free kick, freshman midfielder Taylor Jackson found senior midfielder Katy Dolesh, who blasted the ball past Mastodon keeper Sam Pavlika and into the left corner of the net. The goal was Dolesh's second of the year, while Jackson earned her team-leading second helper of 2013 on the play.
Miami almost went up 3-0 in the closing seconds of half one but sophomore midfielder Jess Bronke's rocket from 40 yards out sailed just over the goal. Miami took its 2-0 lead into halftime after outshooting IPFW, 10-0, during the first 45 minutes. The 'Hawks held Belmont without a shot in the first half, as well, in Miami's last game Aug. 30. The RedHawks also earned four corners in the first stanza while giving up just one.
The second half saw more of the same, as Miami forced IPFW into multiple fouls, while picking up three corner kicks in the first seven minutes. In the 63rd minute, Dinges had another good scoring chance, but Pavlika got her fingertips on the ball to tip it over the crossbar. The RedHawks then capped their scoring in the 77th minute when Bronke scored her first career goal at Miami. Following a scramble inside the penalty box, Bronke was able to boot the ball out of midair and beat Pavlika to her left side to complete the 3-0 victory.
Freshman goalkeeper Vic Maniaci made her first career start in net and picked up both her first career win and first collegiate shutout in her first action as a RedHawk. Miami's defense contributed to the clean sheet, playing strong in the back and preventing the Mastodons from even putting a shot on target. The 'Hawks have not allowed a goal in any of their last three games.
"Congrats to Vic on her first collegiate start, shutout and victory," Kramig said. "She wasn't terribly busy but what she needed to do, she did, and I'm pleased with her performance.
Miami finished with a 13-3 edge in shots for the match, including 7-0 in shots on goal, but Pavlika made a pair of saves in each half to keep IPFW in the contest. The RedHawks racked up five more corner kicks in the second stanza and finished with a 9-2 advantage in corners on the night.
The RedHawks look to continue their winning streak Sunday when they host Louisville at Miami Soccer Field at 1 p.m. Senior goalkeeper Allison Norenberg, who had started the first three matches this year and every match the previous two seasons, is scheduled to be back in net against the Cardinals.

A Syrian-American civil-rights lawyer and journalist examines the uneasy relationship that many Arab-Americans maintain with their adopted country.
There are about 3.5 million people of Arabic-speaking descent in America, writes Malek. However, "Arabs account for only about 25 percent of Muslims in America, and Arab-American Muslims still account for only about 24 percent of all Americans believed to be of Arab descent." The author traces personal stories across generations of people who have arrived on American shores. Malek looks specifically at families who represent some fairly typical Arab-American stories, such as the Lebanese, Syrians and Palestinian Christians who made up the first Great Migration starting in 1880. In Birmingham, Ala., these were largely unskilled laborers, like Ed Salem and his family, who found work in the mines, opened grocery stores and shops and were lumped in with other "darkies" (dagos) and similarly discriminated against. When President Johnson signed the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, a new openness allowed entrance to many refugees from the political upheaval in the Middle East, such as Jordanians, Egyptians, Iraqis and Yemenis. Many settled near Detroit, where they anglicized their names and got jobs at the Ford Motor Company. In the late '60s and '70s, they also began to grow politicized, as the country reacted to the energy crisis, PLO terrorism and the Iranian revolution. Arab-Americans, regardless of ethnicity, were stereotyped as primitive and evil, and targeted for violence, such as the bombing death of Alex Odeh in Santa Ana, Calif., in 1985. Malek provocatively explores how the Gulf wars negatively affected Arab-Americans and how 9/11 singled out their communities in both a hostile and more inclusive fashion.
A significant, timely contribution to the understanding of the Arab-American story.

I was feeling a little under the weather, but Vcon's Chickpea Noodle Soup hit the spot! I think it was so dark since I didn't have any light miso. Cool thing about this soup - it turns into a noodle casserole the next day!
This looks like next day's Chickpea Noodle Soup, but is actually some spaghetti recipe from an old copy of VT. It said to roast the spaghetti first in the oven before adding it to broth to cook, as it would give it a nutty taste. I didn't notice any difference and was annoyed at the time it took to do that extra step. It's served with some delicious potatoes from our garden that Kyle cooked up.
Shaved Carrots (garden)
Honey cherry tomatoes (garden)
Beefsteak tomatoes (garden)
Lebanese cucumber (garden)
2 cloves garlic (garden)
Basil (garden)
3 parts olive oil
1/3 part balsamic vinegar
1/3 part lemon juice
Salt-pepper-onion powder
I made VwaV's Gigantoid PB Cookies with a few variations...one of the moms in my mom's group has celiac issues, and the other is severly allergic to nuts! So I made these with soy nut butter (which really doesn't taste like a nut butter at all much to my disappointment) and rice flour. There were OK, but I really do prefer the original recipe and am thankful I don't have any allergies!
Ah, summer...time for Peach 'Custard' Pie! Peaches, sugar, soymilk, flour and nutmeg...delicious! I think I've blogged about this before!
I think this was from VwaV...these Stuffed Peppers were AWESOME! The black bean-quinoa filling is so great and can be eaten as a grain side dish, or a stuffing for squash or anything!
From a recent VT...Peanut Butter Coconut Ice Cream. Of course I added chocolate chips. I think I'll stick with Vcon's Ice Cream recipe since I found this one to be very 'icy' - and I don't mean too cold.
I was watching Ricardo and Friends on the Food Network, and he made this cool sandwich from a loaf of hollowed out round bread. I imitated using layers of pesto, roasted veggies (eggplant, zucchini, peppers and onions), Tofurky slices and VwaV's Tofu Ricotta. I weighed it down and kept it cold. It was delicious!
I was craving something with peanut butter again, so I made up the sauce for the Cold Udon Noodles from VwaV, but added warm noodles, coriander, red pepper, cucumber and cubed tofu that I cooked up. Yummy and easy.
How to make a fast birthday cake - take a graham pie crust, add some softened neopolitan soy ice cream and freeze for 4 hours. Spread some ganache on top and top with nuts, and re-freeze for another 4 hours minimum. Then serve! Just like Baskin Robbins! In this case, I topped with fresh strawberry slices before serving.
Another fast snack - tortilla chips tossed with sugar and cinnamon. The first time I tried it I warmed them in the oven then sprinkled with organic sugar and cinnamon. They were like Beaver Tails that I used to eat as a kid. However, they are easier to make when simply tossed in a bag with a little icing sugar and cinnamon (no photo). This time they were like waffles that we used to get an old southern Ontario amusement park.

WhyQuit - #1 quit smoking site
Visited by 2.2 million unique annual visitors, welcome to WhyQuit. While most arriving are trying to stop smoking and seek motivation enhancement, insightful articles, free quitting e-books, tips guides, video counseling or group support, WhyQuit is a nicotine cessation site. So, whether addicted to smoked nicotine from cigarettes, cigars, beedies, a pipe or hookah, whether slave to vaping e-cigs or dependent upon smokeless products such as dip, chewing tobacco or snus, or hooked on the cure and nicotine replacement products such as the gum, lozenge, spray, inhaler or patch have become life's #1 priority, you're in the right place.
What most visitors find shocking is that WhyQuit is a cold turkey quitting site, or more accurately a "smart turkey" site. Why abrupt nicotine cessation? Because it's fast, free, safe and substantially more effective than gradual weaning schemes. It's also highly productive. As suggested by a vape devices 2013 U.S. Gallup Poll, more smokers stop smoking cold turkey each year than by all other methods combined.
Those selling Nicorette, NicoDerm, Nicotrol, Nicobate, Nicotinell, NiQuitin, Habitrol, Zyban, Chantix and Champix want your money. They need for you to believe the marketing falsehoods that stopping on your own is nearly impossible, highly ineffective and that few succeed. It's a lie. Don't buy it. If anything, that message is backwards.
As suggested by the Gallup Poll, nicotine is not medicine and its use not therapy. In fact, here in the U.S., after 30 years and billions spent marketing Nicorette, only 1 in 100 ex-smokers credit nicotine gum for their success. And according to the Poll, only a tiny fraction of all successful quitters used approved quit smoking products (just 8 percent). Talk about quitting fraud, the tail has been wagging the dog. WhyQuit exists to share insights into how the vast majority succeed.
Their common thread? They did not allow nicotine back into their bloodstream. Quitting is all or nothing. It's called the Law of Addiction. Nicotine dependence is real drug addiction. It's as permanent as alcoholism. The wanting and urges you feel for more nicotine flow from the same brain dopamine pathways as the wanting felt by the alcoholic, and the heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine addict. As suggested by the Law, there is only one rule to successful quitting. It's that one equals all, that we cannot cheat the design of dopamine pathways already compromised by nicotine. For us, one puff will always be too many, while thousands never enough.
If uneducated and unsupported cold turkey quitters are already clobbering approved quitting product users in real-world quitting, imagine the victory margin smart turkey is capable of producing.
Knowledge is power. If new to WhyQuit, we invite you to pour yourself into Joel's Library and to not come out until far smarter and wiser than nicotine's influence upon your brain, subconscious, emotions, thinking, health and life. Use understanding to diminish or even destroy fear driven anxieties. Consider using the following quit smoking tips video as your your first lesson. WhyQuit is our gift to you. Just one lesson, recovery insight and hour at a time, yes you can, we all can!

When I began my career with H&P more than 25 years ago, a regular contributor to the magazine was The Old Timer from Royal Oak. This gentleman submitted regular contributions for about five years.
The Old Timer always wanted to be kept anonymous because he wrote about situations his employer might've had problems with. I still don't know who the Old Timer was. His contributions were edited by then-editor Dick Schneider, but, after 25 years, he doesn't remember.
But we can still learn from and be entertained by the Old Timer's lessons, so I'll be reproducing most of them in the coming weeks in this blog. Here is my first entry, which was originally published in the October 1986 issue of Hydraulics & Pneumatics:
Anatomy of a weekend rush job
The Old Timer, a 30-year veteran of the fluid power wars from Royal Oak, Michigan, combines several real events in this reminiscence, parts of which will probably sound familiar to many readers.
The circuit diagram and the command came down to engineering from the Ivory Tower on Friday afternoon:
"Put together a hydraulic system to run this press. It must be ready to go at 8 AM Monday or our company will down the drain. Do it any way you can — but no overtime for the engineers."
On the positive side, the press already had a cylinder; there was a pump system we could tap into; pipe, fittings, and hardware were in stock; and maintenance people were scheduled to work over the weekend anyhow. All we needed was a 4-way valve, a pressure switch, and a counterbalance valve — just three simple components. On the negative side, it was too late to order anything from outside and get it delivered, so we had to find these components in our own shop. Time to get on the phone.
We found one unit that had several rebuilt 4-way valves. We could have one but they were without bases. Another unit had some bases and would trade for one. Pressure switches were in Central Stores, and our own department's secret cache of surplus components included a couple of counterbalance valves. One of them probably would work.
So all we had to do was copy the sketch and issue instructions to our weekend people:
·get rebuilt 4-way valve from Unit A
·get subbase from Unit B
·requisition pressure switch from Central Stores
·clean up one of these counterbalance valves, and
·pipe up the system per the diagram.
My home phone rang at 2 AM Monday. "Better get down here. The press won't work."
At the plant we verified that this report was correct. Energizing either solenoid produced no reaction. We knew the valve had been completely rebuilt. Could the sub-base be the problem? A little checking revealed that the old style valve had an external pilot and an external drain. The newer sub-base was set up for internal pilot and internal drain. Did we want to experiment with changing the plugs around? No, it was easier to scavenge another valve from one of the machines on that new production line that wasn't scheduled to start up for two weeks.
With he new valve installed, something finally happened when we energized a solenoid — we got an oil shower. Some of the bolts used to mount the valve were a fraction too long and bottomed out before they squeezed the O-rings. Time out to grind down the bolt ends.
With everything reassembled we tried solenoid a. The press started down, then stopped, sat there, started again, stopped again. We knew we had plenty of pump flow, so it was time to examine the counterbalance valve. We changed the external pilot to an internal pilot on the incoming side and wound the spring down considerably. Now the press came down smoothly and quickly — but it wouldn't go back up.
A closer look at the counterbalance valve revealed that it had no bypass check valve passage. (Where did that old dog of a valve ever come from?) Three aisles over, another press was being rebuilt. We borrowed a true counterbalance valve from that machine. After we installed that valve, the press cycled properly, but the pressure switch worked erratically.
Checking make and model number, we learned that Central Stores had unloaded an ancient obsolete model on us. The box was wet and the switch was rusty — clues that it had been stored near a roof leak. One of our guys remembered seeing some new switches in incoming stock. All we had to do was pop a lock and climb a fence to acquire one.
The tooling guys moved in for their work, and when they were done, the press was ready to start production — except that after 15 minutes, the press slowed down, then stopped. We thought everything was okay on our end, so maybe there was bearing and guide misalignment.
After a call to the mechanical guys and another 15 minutes of shimming and alignment, the press started up and ran fine — but only for another 10 minutes. The mechanical guys said they couldn't do anything more so we went back over the hydraulic side again.
One of the piping guys recalled that he had to turn a cap around on the counterbalance valve to pipe the drain. We got out the book on the valve and studied it. Sure enough, it was a model that had a multiple-position head: one position for internal pilot, another for external drain, another for internal drain, etc. The head on our valve had been turned to a blank spot, so there was no drain. After 10 or 15 minutes of operation, enough leakage built up in the spring chamber to create a hydraulic lock, and the counterbalance couldn't open.
With the head turned around to the correct position, the press ran beautifully for the next three years until a model change eliminated the operation. On that early Monday morning we had violated a slew of company regulations and broken a couple of union rules — but we were in production, and management was happy. However, I still shudder to think what might have happened if the project required more than those three simple components.

Candles in the Window
My brother Willie and I are alike in our desire for order; he likes to have things just so, and so do I. We like lists and plans and knowing what to expect. Unexpected changes to our usual routines do not sit well with us. And though this can pose difficulties at times, it also presents us with moments of beauty, shared experiences of continuity and tradition. In the midst of this holiday season, I think of the traditions that my brother has begun, the small ways in which he shows his love for our family through his acts of service. For example, Willie likes to run to the mailbox and pick up our family's mail each day. He enjoys taking empty plastic, metal, and glass containers out to the garage for recycling, and helping my dad unload the groceries from Costco. He takes pride in his ability to contribute, and becomes frustrated if he cannot complete his usual tasks. For Willie, as for all of us, service to others and a sense of personal success are inextricably linked.
At times I lose sight of this; at times, I cannot see past Willie's support needs, and how much my parents do to care for him. Yet it is important for me to remember that Willie cares for them as well. He gives as he is able. Though at times I forget this truth, the holidays help me to remember. In this season, I am reminded that, in fact, we all need each other's small acts of love more than we know.
In a way, seeing how Willie values his acts of service prepared me for life in the L'Arche community (a faith-based non-profit with group homes across the world, where I lived for two years). In working with the core members there, I learned about the humility and dailiness inherent in real love. I learned that sometimes, the most heroic actions are the small, consistent ones, the ones that no one will applaud or herald. And nowhere was this more apparent to me than at L'Arche's nightly prayer-times. Most often, prayer-times are very simple: Community members pass a candle around the table and share something that they're thankful for, or their favorite part of the day. But at one L'Arche supper I attended, the person leading prayer asked us to share an insight about the nature of the person to our left. Specifically, we were asked to share "what filled them". Cassandra, who was seated to my right, shifted to face me when it was her turn to speak. With a smile on her face, she said, "I believe that you are full of love." That unexpected statement has sustained me through many dark times. When I doubt myself, I have held on to Cassandra's words, knowing them to be both an affirmation and a challenge.
People like Cassandra and Willie have taught me that small acts of love are what light our way in dark times, literally and figuratively. Case in point: When my husband and I visit my family for the holidays, I know what we'll see as we drive up the dead-end street at night. As we approach, we'll see a house full of light, a home with candles in every window to welcome us. Turning on the electric candles has become Willie's responsibility, something he does with clockwork regularity each night of the holiday season. I always thank him for doing it, though I'm not sure he understands why I value it as I do. And, in truth, I do not fully understand it myself. All I know is that, when I see those lights in every window, I feel connected to my brother. Whenever I see those small lights illuminating the darkness, I remember all that Willie has to offer, and I give thanks.

2006 Saab 9-7X
In its quest to make Saab into a profitable division and give its dealers and customers more choice, General Motors has added the Saab 9-7X to its lineup. The 9-7X is Saab's first truck-based SUV, and the first-ever Saab available with a V8 engine.
As American as apple pie, the Saab 9-7X is built in Moraine, Ohio, on the same truck platform as the Chevy TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Buick Rainier. However, it's been given a Swedish massage inside, outside and underneath.
We think the 9-7X may be the best execution of this solid truck platform to date. The combination of blocky good looks, Saabesque design cues, improved handling and ride quality, with reasonable power and fuel economy make the new Saab 9-7X worth a long look. Inside, it's thoroughly Saab-like, nicely finished and comfortable.
The 9-7X is built on the shorter of the two wheelbases used for the GMT 360 platform, which is the one we prefer. It rides lower and the chassis is a bit stiffer than the other GM models, and comes with a retuned suspension and bigger brakes.
Overall, the Saab 9-7X offers a lot of value for $40,000, which comes in the form of luxury and safety features, both active and passive. Among them: six airbags, all-wheel drive, electronic stability control. Leather upholstery is standard.
A superb inline six-cylinder engine comes standard. A more powerful V8 is optional. Saab says major competitors will include the Volvo XC90 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, both excellent SUVs. We suspect Saab's new truck will also compete with GM's in-house brands.
Model Lineup
The 2006 Saab 9-7X is available in six-cylinder and V8 versions, delineated and distinguished by displacement badges on the decklids and wheel/tire combinations. That's it. No other trim levels, no other external differentiation, which we count as a blessing. The V8 version adds the power powerful engine, good for towing up to 6500 pounds, and a limited-slip rear differential as standard equipment.
Safety features that come standard on both versions includes six airbags: front, side-impact for torso protection, and side curtain for head protection. Also standard: all-wheel drive, StabiliTrak yaw control, anti-lock disc brakes, rollover sensing, child seats, knee bolsters, canine restraints and other safety features Saab owners have come to expect.
Saab justifies the price of the 9-7X with an impressively complete list of standard equipment including leather-upholstered seats, 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, the OnStar security and concierge system, and XM Satellite Radio, a list that would pump the Chevrolet version up to a high price if ordered separately.
The exterior makeover from the Chevy/GMC/Buick version features Saab's signature three-port grille, multi-element headlamps, rear quarter windows that wrap around the D-pillars, Saabian taillamps, and a flat hood (it opens from the front, Saab fans).
When you see so much giant-grille, aggressive, I'm-coming-to-get-you, high-riding military styling on the roads, it's refreshing to see an SUV with a borrowed body that looks so good when treated to the understated Saab nose and lamp and fender treatment, with its stylized airplane at the center of the grille opening (Saab built airplanes long before it built cars). We think, as far as exterior Saabness, they have pulled it off beautifully, much more so than with the Buick Rainier. This is a luxury SUV much more in the vein of the understated Acura MDX than a chrome-grille Buick.
The rear end of the GMT 360 has been remade as a Saab with an extended, big-cornered rear bumper and cool Saab taillamps and graphics. Not to mention the tasty wheels, one style for the I6, another for the V8. It really does look like a Saab from the back.
Interior Features
Apparently, the designers and marketers fought hard for this much interior redesign, and they certainly got it. We don't know how much it cost GM to retool the interior in such a thoroughly Saab fashion, even to the extent that the ignition key and wiring have been moved to the customary Saab location on the center console behind the shifter, antitheft interlock and all, but we like it.
The 9-7X interiors we experienced during a driving introduction along the edge of the Saint Lawrence Seaway in Quebec, were understated, nicely stitched, beautifully wood-trimmed, with thin chrome surrounds on the instruments to add a touch of class, white-on-black gauges with sharply defined graphics, and a dashboard architecture lifted directly out of a current Saab 9-3. All of the major items were easy to find and use.
The instrument panel is reshaped, rounded and angled toward the driver on the right-hand side, and it mimics the interior design of the current 9-3 successfully, if simply and quietly. All of the controls were in their customary Saab locations, including the Saabesque air vents and the hidden dual cupholder assembly in the right side of the dashboard.
The seats were continuously comfortable at 160 kph and every other speed. Very nice. Front-seat head, leg, and shoulder room is generous, even for a 6-foot, 4-inch driver. The seating position is commanding, which adds to the Saab feel. Rear-seat room is less generous, but good enough for most children.
The behind-the-scenes security of OnStar and the optional XM Satellite Radio made the 9-7X a delightful companion, especially in a fierce rainstorm we encountered on the way to Quebec City airport at the end of the second day. The 9-7X is relatively quiet, with the fat tires contributing to most of the little bit of noise that was there. This is typical of all the GMT 360 trucks, to a greater or lesser degree.
SUVs sooner or later have cargo-hauling duties to perform, and when the time comes, the Saab 9-7X delivers nearly 40 cubic feet with the rear seat up, and 80 cubic feet with the rear seat stowed. The rear seat splits wider than usual, Saab says, at 65/35. An extra bonus is the onboard air compressor system, normally used to pump air into and out of the air suspension sysem, which can be used, along with a standard 22-foot hose, to inflate tires or recreational gear.
Driving Impressions
We really like the silent-servant way in which this Saab drives. It would be even more silent with a fifth gear, but Saab makes do with lots of engine torque, the right-size tire, and the right gear ratios to present a very pleasant four-speed automatic overdrive in a highway cruiser that can hold, haul and tow like the big boys, because underneath, this is a Chevy truck. Body on frame, gutty engines, isolated cabin and all.
But the Saab tuning guys have done a remarkable job in improving the chassis. They lowered it one inch. The front end of the frame has been stiffened, as has every spring, shock, bushing and stabilizer bar in the entire vehicle, up to 15 percent stiffer, keeping the body roll, nose pitch, and a big portion of the usual harshness out of the Saab version. It steers much more tightly than most trucks in this class, with a nice hefty feel at the wheel rim, it rides quietly, handles the big bumps and holes quietly, and doesn't feel like a racing yacht in the corners. It just hunkers down and all four wheels work together whenever the electronic system is triggered by conditions and velocities.
The Saab guys also tweaked the entire steering system, its mounts, and components for more stiffness and greater isolation. They stiffened the shock absorbers as much as 70 percent compared to the stateside brands.
The six-cylinder version feels lighter in front than the V8 model and in that respect we like it better. The 4.2-liter inline-6 is rated at 290 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 277 pound-feet of torque at 3600 rpm. The six-cylinder gets an EPA-rated 15 mpg city, 21 mpg highway. The inline-6 features double overhead cams, four valves per cylinder and continuously variable valve timing.
The 5.3-liter V8 is rated at 300 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 330 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Its greater torque helps the V8 version achieve a tow rating of 6500 pounds. All models come with a hitch receiver and receiver cover as standard equipment. The 5.3-liter V8 engine, the latest in GM's 50-year development program of the smallblock, overhead-valve V8, features displacement on demand, which automatically and imperceptibly deactivates four of the engine's cylinders at light loads, and puts them right back to work instantly when called upon to do so. GM says DOD is worth up to 8 percent in increased highway mileage. It's a prime reason for the V8's good highway mileage, even at a curb weight approaching 4800 pounds. The V8 is EPA-rated rated 15 mpg city, 19 mpg highway.
The Saab development team enlarged the brakes to 12.9-inch front and 12.8-inch rear ventilated discs, and they were extremely powerful, smooth, and linear in getting the 4800-pound 9-7X down from interstellar cruising speeds to small-town puttering speeds on Route 138. The automatic self-leveling rear air suspension made a huge difference in the Saab's braking behavior and quiet ride.
The world of $40,000-$45,000 entry luxury SUVs offers lots of worthy choices that have been designed from the ground up, and lots of others that have been adapted for the task at hand, either from cars or trucks. We think the Saab 9-7X is by far the best iteration of the GMT 360 platform, regardless of brand name, and we think the price is right for either the I6 or V8 models. And you can get serviced and fixed at a nice, quiet Saab dealership instead of a Chevy store.

Today I went to the downtown main Fort Worth Public Library. I arrived there shortly after it opened at noon and left at almost 3 o'clock. Why does the time matter. 'Cuz I'm cheap, that's why. You can park for free at a nearby parking garage, but only for 2 1/2 hours. This little research trip cost me $1.25! 🙂
So, how did my trip go?
Started out kinda slow & frustating. My first stop was the city directories section, looking for my grandfather (trying to figure out when he divorced my grandmother and trace his steps after that period).
- 1928 living with mother
- 1929 living with wife at her parents' home (my Dad was born in 1929, so that puts the marriage at 1928-1929, which is what I had already decided on)
- he is present in the 1932 directory, shown living in 2 different residences (with his mom and with his mother-in-law). Interesting…
- doesn't reappear in the Fort Worth directories until 1942, then is gone again until 1947. He married my step-grandmother in 1938 in Denton County (north of Fort Worth), so I'm guessing he lived there until his return to Fort Worth
Also looking for Dovie and all her husbands in the city directories. I found her several times with Hubbie #3, LW Epperson and then several instances of her living alone (with different last names). Didn't really clarify or learn anything here. On my next library trip, I need to concentrate strictly on Dovie and The Boys, I think!
Next stop was the Tarrant County Marriage Index 1876-1945. This was a very frustrating and oh-my-head-hurts experience! The very nice Genealogy Library Lady gave me a USB drive containing the index. Cool, glad I brought my laptop!
Problem was, the index is in it's original, huge-image form, saved in .tiff format. My Picasa won't show a .tiff image, so I tried the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Since the images were so large, it was taking forever for them to open, then forever longer to zoom in enough to be able to read them. I ended up opening each image in my Paint Shop Pro. Here I could zoom them easily, but it was still taking forever and I only had 2 1/2 hours, remember?
I browsed for (oh yeah, no search capability either) my grandparents' 1928-1929 marriage for an hour, until I thought my eyeballs were gonna fall out. Still haven't found it. The solution? I copied the file to my hard drive so I can search it at home. I promise not to sell it or post it online or anything like that. I promise!
By now, it was almost time to go. So my last stop was the newspaper-archives-on-microfilm section. The last time I went to this library and needed the microfilm, all the rolls were back in a separate room and could only be provided by this not very nice library lady. I was dreading meeting her again!
Well, I guess it's been awhile since my last trip, 'cuz now all the microfilm is out in the main library in self-serve fashion. Wonderful! I quickly found the film I needed and almost as quickly found all 3 obits I was looking for. Snap, snap, snap with my Sony digital camera and I was done.
Time to go, my head was about to split in half and my stomach was growling…loudly.
When I got home, I went to the marriage index file and started looking for that elusive great-grandmother of mine again!
I finally found her with husband #4 Priddy, but… a different Priddy that I thought! John Otys Priddy, not Hugh Frank Priddy!
Oops, sorry Hugh Frank, if you're up there looking down here!
I knew she had married a Priddy, as I have her 1942 signature as Ruby Hall Priddy, but I didn't know his whole name. I hunted around Ancestry.com and found a Priddy (Hugh Frank) that seemed to match the age and location and assumed he was my man. I had his death certificate, WWI registration and a couple of census entries and he seemed to fit pretty well. Oops again!
I have corrected my database with the correct Priddy and in the morning I'll add in all the new data that I got today. And make a new list for my next library trip!

If you want to help out struggling post office employees you can send more letters, and while you're at it you might want to make the address as illegible as possible. 95% of our mail is sorted by computer, but last year 714,085,866 letters with incomprehensible writing were deciphered the country's two Remote Encoding Centers in Salt Lake City, Utah and Wichita, Kansas. There 1,900 clerks see scanned images of the letters and try to make sense of what the machines couldn't.
If the clerks still can't figure out what the envelope says, it's labeled a "nixie" and another clerk takes a look at it. Rejects go to the Mail Recovery Center in Atlanta. Workers open the nixies that look like they may contain cash or documents and shred the rest. For now people who write "GALLERY303FIFTH-AVESUITE1603NYNY" or "Hello Big daddy Its your Sexymama!" on letters are ensuring that clerks will keep their jobs, but it's possible that at some point the postal service will decide that if you can't properly address an envelope, that's your problem, not theirs.

ASP.NET with Apache
Describes how to show ASP.NET-sites under Apache by using Mod_Mono.
From Mod_Mono's site:
- "Mod_Mono is an Apache 2.0/2.2 module that provides ASP.NET support for the web's favorite server, Apache (http://httpd.apache.org/)."
The setup requires mono and mod_monoAUR for Apache compliance. Package xspAUR is a simple webserver for ASP.NET, optionally installed for testing the configuration.
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add the following line:
Include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/mod_mono.conf
Finally, restart apache with:
systemctl restart httpd.service
Now, Apache should be able to show ASP.NET-pages.
- Further details: http://www.mono-project.com/AutoHosting/
With this setting, configuring apache for each deployment is no longer needed; just place the application in any directory within html-root and it will be promptly auto-configured. Add the following lines to
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to enable the option:
# Choose ASP2.0 support instead of the default 1.0 MonoServerPath "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server4" # mono 4 MonoAutoApplication enabled
If xsp is installed and html-path is
/httpd/html, then open a browser and access http://server/xsp/ to see an overview over the ASP.NET-testfiles.

|History of Fort McClellan 1917-1999
|Fort McClellan has a proud and fascinating history which dates back to the Spanish-American War. The seeds of military life were fostered during the first World War and raised to maturity during World War II.
The Choccolocco foothills, part of the Appalachian Mountain chain, surrounds the post. A spur ridge of the Choccolocco foothills crosses the main post from north to south. The ridge first attracted military interest during the Spanish-American War, when the mountains were discovered to form an excellent background for artillery firing.
The War Department formally established Camp McClellan on July 18, 1917. The camp was named in honor of Major General George B. McClellan, General-in-Chief of the U.S. Army from 1861 to 1862. McClellan was also the Governor of New Jersey from 1878-1881. Although it is unusual for a Southern fort to be named for a Northern general, there are strong indications that McClellan's name was a logical choice. Camp McClellan was a mobilization camp used to quickly train men for WWII. General McClellan is credited with the quick training and mobilization of the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. Most of the first soldiers arriving at the camp were from the North. In fact, the first group to train at Camp McClellan were from McClellan's home state of New Jersey.
The newly activated 29th National Guard Division from the Mid-Atlantic states, commanded by Major General Charles G. Morton, arrived in August 1917. Two months later there were more than 27,000 men training at the camp. The 29th went to France in June 1918 and suffered almost 6,000 casualties in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Morton Road, near Baker Gate, is named in honor of MG Morton.
Camp McClellan was redesignated Fort McClellan, a permanent post, on July 1, 1929. New construction began immediately and the post grew rapidly. The 27th Division arrived from New York during October 1940. One of the first units to depart for combat in WWII, the 27th had orders to report overseas 12 days after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The Division fought in the Marshall and Gilbert islands, Saipan, Guam and the Philippines, and was later on occupational duty in Japan. A reunion took place here in the summer of 1980, bringing many old soldiers back to where they first smelled gun powder and heard taps.
A 3,000 capacity Prison Internment Camp for prisoners of war was built during 1943 when Fort McClellan became the temporary home for many captured enemy soldiers. Their artistry talents are preserved in Remington Hall, formerly the Fort McClellan Officers Club. While held here, many POWs painted murals on the walls of Remington Hall, depicting memories of their homeland. A memorial cemetery located near the western corner of the post is the final resting place for 26 German and 3 Italian prisoners of war who died during captivity.
Nearly 500,000 men were trained at Fort McClellan during WWII, including a company of Japanese-Americans who helped familiarize American troops with methods used by Japanese soldiers. Many individuals and units trained here received the highest military honors and decorations during the war.
During 1943, the Branch Immaterial Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan was replaced by the Infantry Replacement Training Center, which trained recruits in basic soldiering skills. When the war ended, the center trained soldiers for occupation duty until November 1946, when the fort became a recruit training center. The Recruit Training Center was inactivated and the number of soldiers on post dwindled rapidly after the war. The installation was placed on inactive status on June 30, 1947. Only a small maintenance crew remained on the post. Plans were made during 1950 to again use the area for National Guard training. The replacement training center for the Chemical Corps was activated during 1951, with Fort McClellan as its permanent home. In 1962, the name of the activity was changed from the Chemical Corps School to the U.S. Army Chemical Center and School, until it was disestablished in 1973. The Women's Army Corps School was founded at Fort McClellan on September 25, 1952. Approximately two years later, official ceremonies were conducted to establish the post as the first permanent home of the U.S. Women's Army Corps Center. Fort McClellan remained its home until the Corps was disestablished and its flag retired in 1977. Participating in the final ceremony was Major General Mary E. Clarke, the last director of the Women's Army Corps and destined to later become the Commanding General of Fort McClellan, the first female officer ever to command a major Army installation. Another activity, the U.S. Army Combat Developments Command Chemical Biological-Radiological Agency, moved to Fort McClellan in 1962. It was later disestablished along with the Chemical School in 1973. To meet the requirement for the Vietnam War, an Advanced Individual Training Infantry Brigade was activated in 1966. With the mission change, the fort was renamed the U.S. Army School/Training Center and Fort McClellan. Due to continued force reductions in Vietnam, the brigade was deactivated in April 1970, after training more than 30,000 men. Official ceremonies were held July 11, 1975, marking the move of the U.S. Army Military Police School from Fort Gordon, Georgia. A major reorganization of the post began in the fall of 1976 and was completed on May 13, 1977, when the colors of the Women's Army Corps Center and School were retired during ceremonies on Marshall Parade Field. After reestablishment in December, 1979, the U.S. Army Chemical School relocated here from Aberdeen, Maryland, and joined the Military Police School and the Training Brigade to make Fort McClellan the only military installation in the United States with three major missions. Fort McClellan has been 'home' for an average military population of about 10,000 people, including about 5,000 who are permanently assigned and employed about 1,500 civilians. In 1995 the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission voted to permanently close Fort McClellan. The official closing ceremony ending Fort McClellan's illustrious past was held on 20 May, 1999. At the time of closure, Fort McClellan was home to the U.S. Army Chemical School, the U.S. Army Military Police School, the Training Brigade, and the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute. The Chemical School, Military Police School, and the Training Brigade relocated to Fort Leonardwood, Missouri, integrating with their Engineer School to form the U.S. Army Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN). The DoD Polygraph Institute relocated to Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The history of Fort McClellan extends beyond this military presence. Prior to the Army's arrival, farmers and tenants, shopkeepers and manufacturers shaped the landscape on this stretch of the north Alabama hillside. Their legacy is still present on the post and witnessed by historic cemeteries, old home sites, the remains of iron furnaces, and other tangible pieces of the past.
