Mary Burke Kerr (1895-1984) and the Music to the North Carolina State Toast
by Fred C. Kerr
This is the story about my grandmother, Mary Burke Kerr, and how she wrote the music to the North Carolina State Toast.
I remember her as a strong, tall and imposing woman. She was a wonderful cook, and a piano teacher who had an incredibly strong grip. I also remember her laughter. Our family visited her often although we lived in Charlotte, and she lived in Clinton. She had two pianos in her home – and our visits often included music with piano playing. When I graduated high school and entered the military, I was able to visit her much less frequently.
Since that time, mainly through my genealogy research, I've learned more about her life. This amazing woman was also a Girl Scout Leader, a Piano Teacher, a Church Musician, a caring mother and neighbor, and the composer of the music for the North Carolina State Toast.
She was born in Willard, NC in 1895. Her parents were James Cooper and Elizabeth Burke. Her father was a building contractor, and her mother was a piano teacher. She attended Flora Macdonald College (Class of 1917) in Red Springs, NC. The College Bulletin for 1917-1918 lists her for both Solfeggio (sight singing) and Voice (1918a).
She married my grandfather (Algernon Hubbard Kerr, Sr., a Veterinarian who also was a Lieutenant in the Army) on December 25, 1918, in the Red Springs NC Presbyterian Church. She was very active in Girl Scouts (as a Girl Scout captain in Red Springs, NC), and had met him on a scout outing. Besides being held on Christmas Day, their wedding was unique and special for another reason too. It went down in history as the "First Girl Scout Wedding" ever held in the United States. Sixteen uniformed Girl Scouts were attendants in her wedding and two Boy Scouts were the ushers. She wore her Girl Scout captain's uniform and my grandfather wore his Army uniform. The newspaper announcement of the wedding said this about her: "Mrs. Kerr is extremely popular here, a tireless worker in church and school and among the Scouts, a talented musician and of most engaging personality…" (1918b).
She taught piano to thousands of children virtually all her adult life. Family members recorded that "She taught piano to anyone wishing to learn, whether or not they could afford the lessons. She continued to teach to when she was about 84 years old, when she entered a rest home."
Her Sampson County, NC connections are deep.
- In 1932, she and her husband (my grandfather) moved in the "old Kerr home" at Black River Plantation in Kerr (Sampson County) NC. This is where he was born and spent his childhood.
- While living there, she composed the music for the NC State Toast.
- In 1940, they moved to Davidson because two of their children were attending college there. Then in 1942, they returned to the "old Kerr home" in Kerr, NC.
- My grandfather died in 1959. In 1966, my grandmother remarried Archie Knight Robertson in 1966 and moved with him to Goldsboro, but returned to Clinton after his death in 1968.
- She remained in Sampson County until her death in 1984.
Composer: Music for NC State Toast
The official North Carolina Toast is a song named "Here's to the Land of the Long Leaf Pine" which has words and music. Both the words and the music took some time to write, and even more time to get officially recognized.
Mrs. Harry C. (Leonora) Martin – sister-in-law to the Governor of North Carolina – wrote the first verse in 1904 as a poem named "A Toast". Later, she had composed the last three verses (1912), which were included in the final poem.
My grandmother composed the music for the official North Carolina Toast in 1932. She'd learned the first verse of "A Toast" as a child, and as an adult, a friend had sent her the entire poem. One day in 1932 while driving, she found herself singing the words to the poem, composing the music as she rode along. When she arrived home she wrote the music – then refined it over several years.
Once it was the way she wanted it, she initially copyrighted it on August 1, 1933. The copyright was renewed on July 31, 1961 (1961, p. 669). She dedicated the music to the school children of North Carolina.
It took even more time to become the official North Carolina Toast. A newspaper article of the time states that "…in 1937, an attempt was made to have the General Assembly name the song as the official North Carolina school song. This didn't come about."
However, in 1957, the North Carolina General Assembly made the song the Official Toast of North Carolina and Mrs. Kerr was honored by the North Carolina's Senators and Representatives and by 23 students of the Clinton Glee Club who sang "A Toast" to the Senate and House (RW06 ; newspaper articles; ("Official Toast to the State of North Carolina," 1957).

Having your own home business can be a lucrative, life-changing prospect. Home businesses can be a perfect career for a stay at home mom, a disabled person or anyone who is interested in taking charge of their life. This article can give you help on the path to home business ownership
Create a schedule that separates your personal time from your work time, and stick to it. Set a specific time after which you will no longer accept business calls. It is important to leave time for friends, family and even yourself.
Designate a room or an area of a room as your "office" for your home business. It can be a whole room or just a part of another room. Having your own office space will assure all of your business materials are in one spot, and it will help you to be more efficient.
Set reasonable goals for your home business. It can be easy to get behind while working in the comfort of your own home. Set reachable goals just like you would at any other job and make sure they get accomplished. Don't let work back up or your home may start to feel like a prison!
If you are interested in running a daycare out of your home, the first thing you need to do is find clients! Put up flyers at the grocery store, doctor's office, library, and other places frequented by parents who have young children. Take out an ad in the local paper.
Ask your customers to provide you with statements about your product or home business. They can talk about their experience with you or what they think about their purchases. Place this information on your website; it is a great (and free!) way to advertise to others. Happy customers will be pleased to provide you with a review, so don't hesitate to ask.
The quickest way to build your home business is to learn from others. There is no reason to start on square one when what you're trying to do has already been done. Find a mentor that you can learn from. Someone who has already successfully started and is running a business will be able to help you.
Set up online payment options if you are selling any products or services via a website. In today's shopping environment, users want to be able to complete their entire transaction in one sitting. Even for home businesses, offering online payment options are quick and simple and improves your customer's experience on your site.
Nearly anyone who plans to operate a business from their home will find it almost impossible to do so with a dial-up connection. A broadband connection is far more fast and efficient and allows you to interact with vendors, partners, and clients more effectively. Furthermore, you can save money by getting telephone and broadband service from a single provider as part of a bundle.
Make your website name easy to remember. If your domain name seems complicated it can prevent potential clients from remembering it. Catchy and simple are the best choices for domain names.
Always remember that your home business is just s business, so you can't take it personally. Breathe deeply and calm yourself in any situation that isn't going your way. There are many resources out there that will help you, especially other entrepreneurs. So never fear. The answers are out there, including the ones above!

The Lord Mayor`s Show
I made a special trip to London recently, to see the Lord Mayor`s Show.
I had seen parts of it a few times before, but always on days when I was engaged with leading Guided Walks.
I gave myself a vantage point outside St. Pauls Cathedral, but unfortunately it rained heavily, so I did not see the procession at its best.
But in spite of the weather, the Lord Mayor`s Show was still a fabulous occasion, with its inimitable pageantry.
Afterwards, I went into St. Paul`s, to watch a performance of Saint Saens` "Carnival of the Animals", with Ogden Nash`s words.

As a parent there have been times where I have had to ground a child and then the next day I couldn't exactly remember why the grounding occurred. He didn't get out of it completely, but it was greatly reduced. That actually happened this past week. If you are a parent that has probably happened to you as well. With that in mind we're going to talk about the 5th redemptive name:
JEHOVAH TSIDKENU – The Lord, our righteousness
This name is found in Jeremiah.
6 "In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior." ~ Jeremiah 23:6
When we think about God being 100% completely righteous and that his character is that of a pure judge, we have to keep a couple of things in mind. He isn't like us: 1. He cannot forget 2. He cannot lessen the punishment, for any reason 3. He will always exact the perfect judgement without any partiality.
AND even though that is harsh, when we process through it … there is no other way we would want Him to be. What if God let certain people into heaven because He just liked them better, but He just didn't like your personality? What if your punishment was a slap on the wrist, but the same thing tomorrow warranted a death penalty? His character would be flawed and we would have no clue how to please Him. The way to heaven would be completely convoluted and unfair.
There is another side to this coin. The Apostle Paul writes this in His letter to the Romans:
10 "As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;"
If there is no one in all humanity that is Righteous and God is the Righteous Judge, where does that leave us? We would not be allowed in His presence, so, that leaves us banished from his presence for eternity (other wise know as Hell).
Here is the beautiful part of the whole thing. Because of His righteousness, His judgement demanded the payment for our sin. Because of His mercy He delayed the payment (not lessened it, just push the actual punishment date). Then, because of His Grace he paid the full payment of our sins, through Jesus Christ. God had to come to earth in the form of man to be a perfect righteous man and be the only one ever worthy enough to make the payment. AND when he did it was enough for all of humanity.
21 "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:21
Now, because of the blood of Jesus, we have been made completely righteous, because the penalty has been paid. Our problem is that we still have a hard time understanding that great gift that we have been given. I think part of this is because we ourselves have a hard time forgiving and restoring someone's place in our lives. Here's today's questions to ponder on.
Happy Fasting,
P. Sean

It feels like my two weeks off have just flown, and I can't believe tomorrow it's back to work again already!!! Since my last post, I also got the tummy bug. I dislike vomiting more than anything. And it really had me knocked out for 3 solid days. To make matters worse, my nan and aunty arrived to spend some time with the baby, and I didn't get to see them that much for those days and the baby didn't visit until they were sure I was over the bug.
To make matters worse, our plumbing went! We had to have part of the front garden excavated so they could get to the drain, and in between the digging and the fixing there was a big rain shower which filled up the hole causing more headaches. Anyway, $2,670 later, it seems to be fixed, but we still have a big muddy mess at the front.
On the bright side, I did recover in time to spend some quality time with my nan and aunty. Last night I went to The Sapphires show. It was a great night with some lovely girls. First we had a delicious dinner (and amazing dessert), then after fighting the millions of others who had decided to go to the Multicultural Festival in the city for a car park (I seriously don't know where the millions came from, but trust me, they were there). The girls were amazing - Casey Donovan was superb. Then as we were leaving the show, we saw Tom Long!! I was a little excited about that. :)
Some pictures of us and our desserts!!

True to You
series: Bradford Sisters Romance, A
Where to Purchase
After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.
Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. However, when John, an adoptee, is diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his ancestry.
John enlists Nora's help to uncover the identity of his birth mother, and as they work side by side, this pair of opposites begins to suspect that they just might be a perfect match. But can their hope for a future survive their wounds from the past?
The Author
"The author is an exceptional storyteller. She writes with wisdom, creativity and the skill of a seasoned writer. The Bradford sisters have a close and likable bond, and the author drives the reader deep into their hearts, hopes and dreams. She captivates the reader's attention and holds their interest from the first chapter to the end."
RT Book Reviews
"Wade starts this new series off strong, introducing characters that are easy to invest in."
Publishers Weekly
"Award-winning author Wade has written a fun, humorous, romantically heavy storyline with a serious side. . . . She creatively interweaves multiple adoption aspects, family importance, rejection, grace, trusting God, and giving Him control."

Information About Advance America Cash Advance From Around The Web
It is always a good idea to look locally for individual financial services, when you really have an urgent financial need. Depending where you are located, easy check cashing can be ranged by services, to short term loan products like payday loans, also called cash advance loans. Contact the business recorded above to find what financial services can be found in your city. Some may also offer installment loan packages, enabling you to pay back your loan for a set period of time, to larger loans including personal loans, which afford a broader range of lending packages when it comes to interest levels and loan size, depending on your own credit score.
You should investigate other options before applying for online payday loans. Attempt to stretch your finances if there's an emergency or sudden invoice. In the event that you can't pay a bill, contact your lender and make an effort to make a payment arrangement. If your requirement for cash asks a loan for a longer duration, apply for an alternate peer to peer or traditional loan. For those who have security, you can put up property to ensure a low-interest bank loan. If you are denied funds from a traditional lending source you need temporary cash flow until the next pay check or since your credit credibility is shot, simple loans might seem like an ideal solution to get you through a tight fiscal circumstances. Taking out an advance on your own next paycheck from a money lender could be your only alternative in case you do not need a credit card or cash in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up in your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for quick loans on the internet is a good option when sudden crises arise or the amount needed is not worth the ding to your credit score for opening another account. You also prevent the hassle of having to assemble all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packages of paperwork. Then you may be eligible for a higher limit with a current charge card company or a fresh account with another lender which allows you to combine all of your debt into one payment, if your credit is good enough. As the consolidation is processed between both businesses, which puts money in your pocket soon you usually get to skip the following payment. You will likely be paying less complete than you were for the individual minimum payments of the different debts when the following payment is due. Many sources of private credit, including poor credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly if origination fees are included in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online additionally have terms that are comparatively short, often as very little as three months. Rolling them over can prove costly, although it might be possible to refinance these kinds of loans.

We miss Jack....
A beloved member of our family recently died.
Jack, our 12 year old chocolate Labrador Retriever.
He was our second baby. Scully we got a few weeks before Jack. They were our first set of "twins".
Scully really, really misses Jack.
We ALL really, really miss Jack.
It's not the same without him.
The tears still come and probably will for a while.
The morning after the kids found out was very hard, but they dealt with it through their artwork.
And more tears.
But such is life when you have love to give.
3 comments:
I honestly do not know why these are just showing up in my feed reader today. But I will say this... I am sorry for your loss. I understand why you would miss Jack. He looks like quite a big bundle of love.ReplyDelete
We recently lost our Bear. (Recently is a relative term, am I right? We lost him on Valentines Day of 2005. The tears can still come given the right mood. He was a good buddy.)
I'm glad that you had Jack in your lives.
Just stopping by from crafty crow for a different post and am reading some other posts of yours. I just wanted to say so sorry for your loss. We lost our beloved Athene last Christmas so it's fresh for us this time of year and know how hard it is to loss a dear friend.ReplyDelete
Thank you both so much for your kind words.ReplyDelete

When I click the PDF to open, I get a pop-up window that asks what program to use to open the file. But it won't allow Adobe to be chosen. I have found that if I close the pop-up window, close the new window that opened, then click on the attachment a second time, it will give me the correct pop-up window to open with Adobe. This is obviously a major time waster and probably fixable, but I cannot find any setting or configuration that will correct this nuisance. Anybody have a fix for this? Anybody else have this same situation?
I am using Windows 10 and Firefox browser.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on January 25, 2018 at 03:24 PM
This has to do with the default file association settings on your OS (Windows 10). You can select a default app to the .pdf file type in the systems settings.
Try the numbered steps on the image below.
It may look a bit different on your system, but the idea should still be the same.
Let us know if you are still not able to make it work.
- RobertAnswered on January 25, 2018 at 04:23 PM
Thanks for the reply, but this is not the fix. I have Adobe associated with PDF files already. I can easily open a PDF attached to ANY other email, but when it comes from Jotform I have this issue. Other thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on January 25, 2018 at 05:25 PM
Thank you for the clarification Robert.
But can you share to us the URL/link of the PDF file you were trying to open in your Firefox browser?
And also the steps you did to reproduce the issue.
So far I could not identify the steps on how to reproduce the problem at this time.
We will wait for your updated response.
- RobertAnswered on January 25, 2018 at 05:59 PM
I am attempting to open the attachment from when the employee has entered information into a Jotform and attached a PDF. The form is emailed to me upon completion.
I cannot share a shot of it as it may contain confidential information.
I can reproduce this with almost 100% constancy by simply clicking on the attachment - the first time I click it almost always shows the pop-up that I first put on my request for support. Once I close the pop-up, close the window and click again - it will then open the correct pop-up for a pdf so I can open it.
I would appreciate a way to talk to someone about this as I do not have time to spend communicating in this manner.
Thank you again for your assistance.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on January 25, 2018 at 07:29 PM
Can you please try also downloading the file from the View Submission panel of the form instead. I cannot do further test using the same link that you used since I do not have accessed to the email link you mentioned.
But the uploaded file link in the email should also be the same link that will in the form submission data in the View submission panel -- so you can use that as well.
When I click the PDF to open, I get a pop-up window that asks what program to use to open the file. But it won't allow Adobe to be chosen....
As I have mentioned previously, the problem is not within Jotform. Rather it has to do with your system (OS) or browser settings.
I made test using the link instead from the view submission panel of the form. You can check the screenshots below of the steps I have taken. You can see that I was able to open the file link with different application (I do not have adobe installed) that exist on my computer.
What I am saying is, I could not replicate the issue you described that it wont allow Adobe app to be chosen from the pop up screen when I clicked on the link using my Firefox browser.
I would appreciate a way to talk to someone about this as I do not have time to spend communicating in this manner.
I am sorry but we do not have live support via phone at this time so we will not be able to assist you by call.
Please continue using this support/email to update us on the issue.

Conversations with Sissy Girl
So my son has been doing a day camp thing with church which has left me with some one on one time with Sissy Girl. It has been interesting to say the least since I don't get as much one on one time with either of the kids. There are certain sides to her persona that I have gotten to see in the last two days that I don't normally get to see. One of them is that under the cute sweet little exterior is one extremely inquisitive and creative child. Okay, so I know she is smart and creative, but the conversations over the past few days have left me saying, "Whoa, holy cow! You are only 4!"
My daughter already has plans to become a chef (in addition to her dancing) and open a restaurant outside of town. She not only has a name for it, but she also already knows the theme of it as well as the costumes and demeanor of her future employees. Honestly, if she remembers all of this by the time she is grown, I think she is going to be one successful cookie. I was just amazed about all the details she was telling me when normally you ask her something, and you are usually answered with a stammer or a giggle.
I don't think I realized until this afternoon that she really misses my grandmother too. I don't talk about it much with the kids, but I miss her too. She brought up the subject today as we were driving past some wildflowers. She commented about how Grandma would have liked them, and they should be for her. Then she said something that really got to me, especially coming from a four-year old. She said that she is worried that she is going to forget. I asked her what she was going to forget. She said she is afraid she will forget how Grandma looked, how she sounded, everything. It broke my heart a little to hear her say that. She is so little. I figured that after a year, she wouldn't be missing her great-grandma and probably wouldn't have much of a memory of her. I was so wrong! So I told her that I would call her Grandma (my mom) and ask her to have a special picture of Grandma made just for her. She was thrilled. I have pictures of my grandma, but most of them have me or someone else in them. I thought maybe if I had one with just Grandma in it, it would mean more to Sissy.
It's not that I don't spend time with my children, because I do, a lot. However, my children are so complex that I don't get to see the full spectrum until I have that one on one time with them. I think sometimes as parents we don't truly realize how important that one on one time is to them to, that they can share themselves with us in a different way because maybe right then, they are not afraid to truly be themselves.

Merlin's principal business is the facilities management of communications operations, primarily for the BBC in relation to the BBC World Service and for the Ministry of Defense (MOD). It also operates a global short wave and medium wave transmission network. Merlin will complement and extend VT's existing skills and experience in the provision of technical services and is and important step towards VT's target to more than double turnover from its support services business over the next 3 financial years. For the year ended March 31, 2001, Merlin reported operating profit, excluding a business to be discontinued, of $7.2 million on turnover of $74.6 million. Merlin is being acquired with sufficient cash balances to fund the expected closure or disposal costs of the business to be discontinued Merlin has recently signed a number of new contracts including the 280 m Submarine Fleet communications Service PFI and the $34 million contract to replace the BBC World Service transmitter relay station in Oman. The consideration of approximately $95 million is being satisfied by a combination of cash, loan notes and the issue of up to $1.38 million new ordinary shares in VT. Acquisitions are expected to be completed by November 30, 2001. Application will be made to the UK listing Authority for up to $1.38 million new ordinary shares in VT to be admitted to the Official list and application will be made to the London Stock Exchange.

Working Toward Better Outcomes for Children in Foster Care
Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, this week I introduced the Fostering our Future Act of 2006, along with my colleague, the distinguished gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Hart).
This is a bill to help our Nation's foster youth by strengthening dependency courts and requiring accountability.
Foster care is a critical safety net for half a million abused and neglected American children. It is, however, a system in need of support and reform. 20 percent of all foster kids will be forced to wait over 5 years for a safe, permanent family. Even worse, almost 20,000 older youth age out of the system without the assistance of a permanent family every year.
Frequent foster home transfers create turbulence and insecurity that heighten the emotional, behavioral and educational challenges faced by these youth. The doubling of the foster care population since the early 1980s compounds this problem by creating enormous caseloads and taxing the capacity of foster homes.
The end result is that foster kids through no fault of their own are more likely to experience homelessness, unemployment and other life course problems despite their resilience and courage. Imagine what it is like to be 8 years old, neglected by your parents and then taken away from them. You are told that you must live with a family that is not your own. You would be confused by court proceedings that govern your future and frightened that you might be transferred to yet another home. You would certainly feel alienated from your peers who talk about mom and dad. Imagine what that must feel like.
These children deserve better. They should be guaranteed physical and emotional safety. They should have continuing relationships with caregivers and loved ones. They should have an informed voice in the legal decisions made about their lives. And they should enter adulthood prepared to live a happy, healthy and productive life. We have a responsibility to these children to meet these goals. Anything less is unacceptable.
Practitioners and policy experts have conducted thorough analyses and advanced proposals to overhaul the foster care system. The most prominent example, a comprehensive 2004 report by the bipartisan Pew Commission on Children in Foster Care identified several areas where the Federal Government could support these kids by strengthening the Nation's foster care systems.
The Pew Commission found that State dependency court systems were failing to sufficiently track cases and train personnel, because they do not receive Federal funds to do so. Inner-agency collaboration and performance measurement where they exist have been inconsistent both within and between States and tend to focus on bureaucratic needs rather than outcomes.
I was pleased earlier this year when under the leadership of the Ways and Means chairman of the subcommittee, Mr. Herger, the committee passed legislation that included $100 million in new funding to improve our foster care system. These funds have been allocated to improve juvenile and family courts, help track and analyze caseloads, train judges and other court personnel and bolster collaboration between State courts and State child welfare agencies. While this is a critical first step, it is time we implement the rest of the court-related provisions recommended by the Pew Commission, and this legislation we introduced will do exactly that.
Our State foster care system struggled to retain qualified dependency attorneys who are often burdened by substantial debt. A recent survey found that one-third of practicing dependency attorneys graduated with over $75,000 in outstanding loans, and 44 percent of them currently owe more than $50,000. High turnover among dependency attorneys has led to a dearth of experienced lawyers who have a comprehensive understanding of the system and maintain valuable relationships with their young clients.
The Fostering Our Future Act that we are introducing responds to these shortcomings. It encourages Statewide interagency collaboration and data sharing. It ensures effective representation is available to children and families. It establishes a loan forgiveness program to attract and retain qualified child welfare attorneys. And most importantly, by focusing on child welfare outcomes, this legislation will keep the needs of children and families rather than the needs of bureaucracies front and center.
I commend the child welfare workers of America for the invaluable services they provide and for constantly struggling to get this issue the attention it deserves. Foster care plays a crucial role in the Nation's child welfare safety net, but it is in desperate need of change and support. I call on my colleagues to join us working for the day when all of our Nation's children are protected, nurtured and loved. And I invite you to join me in that quest by co-sponsoring the Fostering Our Future Act of 2006.

609 N. Carroll St. | Carroll, Iowa 51401
Thanks to the advancement of fire alarm systems, gone are the days where the only option for fire alarms is a small device on the ceiling of each room. Sure, this has been a very reliable solution that has kept families and employees safe for years, especially in small homes and offices where the alarm sounding can be heard throughout the entire space. But what about for larger homes, buildings, or campuses where everyone needs to be warned of a potential fire or when to evacuate?
Drees Co. offers the most cutting edge fire alarm systems that will not only provide safety for buildings of all sizes, but will also come with a variety of features. Some of these features include:
It may seem easy to simply place a basic fire alarm in each room, but with more advanced and modern options, that may not be the safest or most efficient solution to protect your building and its occupants from fire. Contact us and let us help you find the safest solution.
Along with providing a wide variety of residential and commercial fire alarm systems, Drees Co. also offers the fire alarm and prevention services below to protect your home or office.
Whether you are coordinating the build-out of a new construction or are just looking to upgrade your current system, our certified technicians will handle all of your fire alarm installations.
Both in a restaurant setting and in the home, being able to properly vent smoke from any heat-producing equipment is key to preventing a fire. Make sure your kitchen is safe with one of Drees Co.'s hood suppression system inspections.
If you are technician or professional who regularly interacts with fire alarm systems, such as installation, inspection, and repair, a fire alarm certification is a must, and we are here to help you obtain it.
Having a fire extinguisher available in the workplace is important, but what is even more important is that employees know how to use it correctly in case of an emergency. Keep you and your employees safe by providing them with a fire extinguisher certification.
For more information, to schedule a service, or to sign up for your next certification, contact Drees Co. today.

THE body tasked with improving health and wellbeing in Oxfordshire will be given more 'clout' in a major restructuring.
The approved proposals will see a change in membership on the Oxfordshire Health and Wellbeing Board aiming to bring together decision makers from local councils, the area's health providers and commissioners.
The change will aim to make the HAWB a 'doing board' rather than a 'monitoring board', according to Oxfordshire County Council's cabinet member for health, Hilary Hibbert-Biles.
The move follows a scathing review of the area's health services by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) earlier this year, which slammed the lack of joined-up working between health bodies in the county.
In its system-wide review, the health watchdog also criticised the HAWB by saying it did not have a 'clear role' in supporting the joined-up delivery of services.
The new board will be supported by five sub-groups which will focus on specific areas such as children's health and adults with support and care needs, while a referencing group made up of members from the voluntary sector and patient group representatives will meet twice a year to discuss key issues.
The latter will also be able to recommend topics for 'deep dive' investigations.
However, critics say the proposals risked 'fragmenting' the system further.
Speaking at the HAWB meeting on Thursday, Liz Peretz of Keep Our NHS Public said: "The large board proposed, with many staff at different levels in their own organisations, looks inclusive, but cannot provide the necessary grip."
She added: "As for the proposed subgroups – for children, adults, and so on – delegated subgroups working on their own will not produce the necessary full joined-up plans."
Others said the proposals did not offer sufficient detail on how health and wellbeing will actually be improved in Oxfordshire.
Oxford city councillor Marie Tidball said last week: "I have some concerns this could be a missed opportunity.
"I was really impressed with the process that was gone through but feel the content of this paper does not reflect the detailed input that many people made."
However, director of public health on Oxfordshire County Council Jonathan McWilliam said the proposals were merely the 'skeleton', with the flesh needing to be added once the new, larger board had been formed.
He added: "It doesn't look like much but it's radically different to anything else we have ever had in this county."
The approved proposals will go before the full meeting of the county council today.

WASHINGTON — The Ebola patient at a Dallas hospital had no symptoms when he boarded a plane in Liberia or for days after arriving in Texas. He'd been screened before takeoff. But without an active infection, it's impossible to detect whether a person is poised to become a bleeding, contagious threat.
So why don't U.S. authorities restrict travel from West Africa?
The consensus among public health officials is that a ban is too draconian to keep out a handful of people who pose no immediate threat — and that such steps might hamper the fight against the outbreak by breeding mistrust in the regions most affected.
"We've had this one case. The likelihood that we'll get any epidemic of Ebola is pretty remote," said Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.
Hotez noted that even in West Africa, Ebola has killed about half the number of people killed by drunken drivers each year in Texas. But more cases probably are coming, he said, and as the toll grows, so will pressure to curb travel.
"Imagine what happens next week if a patient comes into a Seattle emergency room. And the week after that you have patients in Boston and Washington," he said.
At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest declined to say what would prompt the president to order travel restrictions.
"We live in a global world, and what we're confident that we can do is to both protect the safety of the traveling public and protect the broader American public," he said.
He noted that people flying from West Africa are screened for active cases of Ebola or recent exposure that would have posed a risk to fellow travelers.
"There's nothing about this case that we know so far that would indicate any weakness or any flaws in that system," Earnest said.
Pressure may be mounting.
On Tuesday, Rep. Pete Sessions of Dallas, a member of GOP House leadership, asked the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "to thoughtfully reassess the risk of travel from Liberia … to mitigate the threat of a future outbreak." On Wednesday, top Democratic lawmakers called for exploring ways to tighten screening in Africa and at U.S. points of entry.
The World Health Organization has declined to call for cutting air ties with the affected region of West Africa. The CDC has cautioned against nonessential travel to Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Some African nations have suspended flights from those countries.
But "as long as this epidemic is raging in West Africa, we should expect that people are going to leave the country" and bring it to the United States, said Dr. Andrew Pekosz, who studies infectious diseases at The Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Travel restrictions can be a key tool for controlling influenza and other diseases spread when a carrier lacks symptoms. Since Ebola is only contagious when someone is obviously sick, Pekosz said, "we're doing what we're supposed to be doing."
He and other experts cautioned against a ban that keeps out a handful of infected travelers while making it harder to get aid to stricken areas.
"Countries like America are well-equipped to control imports of the virus," said Dr. Adam Kucharski, an expert in infectious disease at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "We can't cut off these regions and hope the virus will burn itself out."

It came as a great surprise to everyone when Google updated its Pagerank standings yesterday entirely out of the blue. Apparently this came about due to the Google team working to fix another backend service and as part of this they simply ran a Pagerank update while they were at it. At least that is the story according to Matt Cutts twitter update regarding the Google Page Rank update December 2013
Why does Google Page Rank matter
These days it really doesnt. Well that isnt entirely true. Page Rank is a solid representation of the authority of a given website. The infrequency with which Google updates this ranking system however makes it a low priority in terms of Search Engine Optimisation targets. At least that is how it has become. While it has had its day there are many more useful metrics to track the authority of a website.
One such set of metrics are those in use by Majestic SEO which runs a joined set of metrics known as Citation Flow and trust Flow collectively known as their Flow metrics. With these kinds of regularly updated reliable metrics at our disposal many SEO companies can better tailor their marketing strategies as we can see changes far more regularly than with the dinosaur that Googles Page Rank has become.
How did Webdevo fare after the Google Page rank Update December 2013
On a personal note for Webdevo though, if indeed a company can be personal, the majority of the websites that have been created by and are managed by Webdevo increased in Page rank despite many sites seeing a decrease in rank.
Simply put the update may have been something to fear for some but those of us that followed good SEO practices have had little to worry about.

Last weekend, while wasting time on the internet looking up magic eyes, optical illusions and mind games, I stumbled across something I had never seen before in my life- the spinning lady illusion. I spent (embarrassingly) the next three hours researching how it worked, and how I could use the power of my mind to control her movement.
A week later, and I'm still thinking about her.
So here's the deal: Which way does she spin for you? Clockwise, or counter-clockwise?
Supposedly, if she spins Clockwise for you, you are predominantly Right-Brained. If she spins Counter-Clockwise you are predominantly Left-Brained. (To find out what all this Left-Brain, Right-Brain mumbo-jumbo supposedly means click here)
And here's the extra special fun part… if you can make her switch directions at will, I've heard it means your IQ is over 160.
In all truth, she really does spin both ways. Just have someone look at it with you and see if they say she spins the opposite direction you see her spinning. For me, she initially spun Clockwise. That makes me a Right-Brainer, but that makes sense since I'm a lefty.
Personally, I was more interested in how the dang thing worked. And I wanted to see her go in both directions. I won't ruin this illusion for you if you don't want it to be, but if you are curious as to why she can be seen spinning in both directions at once check out this article, or this NY Times article, or the Wikipedia article. (And if you need it explained in plain english, shoot me a comment and I'll fill you in).
Now that I know how it works, not only can I see her spin in both directions, but I can see the illusion for how it really works when I look at it in the right way. And just to note, I know my IQ, and while it's an impressive number, it's no 160. Take that for what it's worth.

ARIES [March 21–April 19] The 1906 earthquake that hit San Francisco also demolished downtown Santa Rosa, about 50 miles to the north. During the rebuilding process, Frank Doyle, a local businessman who referred to himself as a "champion of the future," pushed a radical agenda: "When we construct our new downtown thoroughfare," he said, "let's make it wider than it has been in the past. That way, it will accommodate the promising technological innovation called the automobile." Draw inspiration from Doyle's prescience, Aries. As you regenerate your world, do the equivalent of creating wider roads. Be a champion of the future.
TAURUS [April 20–May 20] There were some medieval alchemists who tried to make a fortune by literally converting lead into gold. But the authentic practitioners of the art were interested in a subtler kind of experimentation: beautifying the shadowy aspects of their own psyches. That explains their motto: "For a tree's branches to reach to heaven, its roots must reach to hell." You have to work hard on redeeming your less flattering qualities in order to earn the right to exalted states of consciousness and spiritual powers. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to carry out this alchemy.
GEMINI [May 21–June 20] Entomologist Justin O. Schmidt categorized the discomfort caused by stinging insects. The attack of the bald-faced hornet is "rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door." A paper wasp delivers pain that's "caustic and burning," with a "distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut." The sweat bee, however, can hurt you in a way that's "light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm." By telling you this, I hope to inspire the rebel in you. Your homework is to create an index of experiences that feel good. You will be able to call on tremendous reserves of intelligence as you identify the numerous modes of pleasure that are available to you, and define them in exquisite detail.
CANCER [June 21–July 22] A famous YouTube video shows a crab perched on top of a jellyfish swimming in the ocean. The graceful rock crab not only grabs free rides on jellyfish, but also steals food from them as it does. This creature is your role model, Cancerian. See if you can develop a safe and symbiotic relationship (perhaps temporarily) with a big stinging blob. At the very least, wangle some benefit out of a clueless behemoth.
LEO [July 23–August 22] "One of the healthiest ways to gamble is with a spade and a package of garden seeds," says comedian Dan Bennett. Come up with three other smart risks you could profit from taking. You're entering a phase when you'll be rewarded by leaving your comfort zone and heading toward the frontier—but only if you're fully armed with crafty discernment and a realistic (not cynical) understanding of how the world really works. Please stay away from rash dares, unresearched shots in the dark, and crazy plunges rooted in blind faith.
VIRGO [August 23–September 22] A Polish scientist toiling in Antarctica was consumed with longing for a woman he'd left behind in his home country. He gathered a mass of penguin dung and used it to spell out a large "M" on the frigid ground. It was the first letter of his girlfriend's name, Magda. To this day, two species of flowering plants have thrived in that M-shaped area, fed by the fertilizing power of the dung. Your assignment in the coming week, Virgo, is to create something equally enduring and unique for someone you care for deeply.
LIBRA [September 23–October 22] If you find yourself driving on a major highway anytime soon, there's a chance that you'll come upon a place where a truck has accidentally spilled a few tons of french fries or thousands of bottles of beer or a huge load of sex toys. According to my analysis, you will be exposed to an abundance of some resource that is too much to use all at once or is not really yours to take or is not exactly what you need. A highway spill is just one form this could take. Don't get distracted by confusion. Instead, use it as motivation to go get the precise stuff you need in the right amount.
SCORPIO [October 23–November 21] After extensive analysis, I've concluded that you won't serve any time in hell for the shock therapy you'll unleash this week—with one caveat: The shock therapy must be motivated primarily by love, not a lust for power. In dropping your bombshells, you may even rack up some karmic credit, not debt—if the things you destroy are truly beyond repair and certain to keep causing pain, and if you institute a plan for building a shiny new creation to replace what's lost.
SAGITTARIUS [November 22–December 21] "Though the seas threaten, they are merciful," says Ferdinand, a character in The Tempest. "I have cursed them without cause." Please consider the possibility that you could honestly make a similar declaration about some influence in your world. What's wild but mostly beneficent? What's primal in a way that draws you back to your deepest sources and reminds you about what's really important?
CAPRICORN [December 22–January 19] Study the following terms: refuge, sanctuary, bunker, asylum, fortress, haven, shelter, safety zone, storm cellar, hideaway, retreat, halfway house, cloister, cell, ashram, clubhouse, lair, foxhole, nest, pit, inner sanctum. Now use some of those words to formulate descriptions of actions you'll take to enhance both your freedom and security: "When I'm longing for privacy and renewal, I'll retreat to a haven, not a bunker" or "If I need to seek refuge from the unnameable insanity around me, I'll make a pilgrimage to a sanctuary, not to a foxhole."
AQUARIUS [January 20–February 18] No one really knows when the Piscean Age ends and the Aquarian Age begins. Astrologers have been arguing about the issue for years. But here's what to watch for: When the transition gets underway, fewer and fewer people will be invested in belief systems, and an ever-growing contingent will thrive on asking questions and keeping an open mind. For those of us in the latter category—the Aquarian Agers—we will prize the virtues of curiosity. We will avoid being addicted to dogmatic theories and rigid certainties, knowing that they tend to shut down our fluid intelligence. We will get a kick out of shedding our own emotional biases so that we can strive to be more objective in our understanding of the ever-evolving truth. I mention this, Aquarius, because it is an excellent time for you to charge headlong toward the Aquarian Age.
PISCES [February 19–March 20] Some of the best-selling Japanese novels in recent years have been composed by young authors entirely on their cell phones. The small screens encourage narratives that are animated by terse rhythms. Flowery descriptions are rare, and character development happens fast. I believe that in the coming weeks, you will have a capacity akin to the cell-phone storytellers, Pisces. You'll be able to compress complex material into simpler forms; you'll have a knack for being very creative as you cut away frills and strip things down to their basics.

Earlier this morning I was watching a tiny ant struggle to carry a morsel of food. After a traveling a distance with much difficulty, the ant stopped, looked at me and said, "This burden has become more than I can handle. As you can plainly see, it's huge! I've done what I can, but I'm exhausted. It's much too unwieldy for me to manage on my own. I know it's a lot to ask, but do you think that you could help me with it?"
As you can imagine, I was stunned. Who knew ants could talk? And yet, as smart as this ant was, his perspective was lacking. From where I was standing, his problem was minuscule, not huge. Unlike his limited, horizontal vantage point, my view was comprehensive. Helping him with his problem would have required virtually no effort on my part.
Why spend a lifetime viewing life at ground level — seeing only what is immediately in front of your face — when it's possible to take the expansive view? That huge load you're struggling to carry? Ask Him to help you see it from His vantage point.

Nusa Dua: Where the Journey Began
I was assigned for a business meeting in Bali last year. I recalled from an article in my school book that Nusa Dua was described as the beach where the elderly goes due to its calm waves and sunrise spot. What an understatement, this beach is splendid for all ages! It has a long shoreline with glorious golden sand and calm crystal clear water; safe for swimming.
At first, my expectation was just to attend the meeting and relaxing on the beach afterward. They have some nice beach cocoons like these:
Ha… I know you wanna go there too!
The hotel is located in the Bali Tourism Development Centre's (BTDC) complex where the international conferences and summit meetings held. That's why this complex is a relatively sterile tourist enclave.
The meeting went on for 3 days from 8.30 am to 4 pm, and every time I got the chance, I just rushed to the beach or the poolside. Life's good…
|Me relaxing between meetings at the poolside.
On the second day, I felt like to catch the sunrise, so I got up at 4.30 am and walked to the beach. It was very dark. Later I learned that the sunrise was not up until 6 am. I got bored of waiting and start to walk, that was when I stumbled upon the biggest starfish I've ever seen. When the streaks of ray appeared, I realized that this beach is a very rich ecosystem.
So this is where my journey began…

HOUSTON --It turns out the man who pulled a gun on a Houston mother Wednesday doesn't work for the city, but police hope a valuable clue the gunman left behind may help find him. There are several agencies involved in this investigation: the Houston Police Department, the Office of Inspector General and the Public Works Department. The victim, a single mother of three, says she thought the man was a City of Houston worker until he pulled a gun on her and demanded cash. Laquisia Brass was responding to a knock on the door of her southeast Houston home Wednesday morning. She says she saw a City of Houston truck parked outside and she is certain the city seal was on the side. Next, the worker said there were some water issues in the area. "He said, 'All the water is contaminated in the neighborhood. I need to check your water,'" said Brass. So she let the man she says was wearing a badge and safety vest into her home. "The guy had the City of Houston clothes on, the City of Houston hat, he had everything on him," said Brass. He asked where the kitchen sink was, then the bathroom and called Brass into the room. "I bent down like this and then he put the gun up to my head and said, 'Give me your money, all that you got,'" Brass said. The noise had disturbed her three sleeping children ages 11, 12, and 13. "My little boy said, 'You'd better get out, leave my mama alone.' He said, 'You'd better get your kids before I kill them,'" she said. Brass ran to her drawer to give the man the only money she had, $400 to finish her Christmas shopping and buy food for Christmas dinner. The thief also put a gun to her daughter's head. "I said, 'Please, sir, she is just a child,'" said Brass. He grabbed her children's computer but after begging him not to take it, he threw it onto the couch. "I'm glad he didn't get the gifts under the tree," Brass said. It was a whirlwind of scary moments endured by the single mom who works two jobs to provide for her family. Brass says she saw the uniformed man running down Maggie Street and claims the city truck was right behind him. "Just don't open your door for anybody," said Brass. While he took several hundred dollars, he left something behind - his clipboard. It's now in the hands of police. he city says public works employees do not go into homes unless they have an appointment.
The suspect is described as a black man about 5'10" tall, around 200 pounds and 25-35 years old. He was clean shaven and had a chipped front tooth.
Call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS if you have any information.

3 Ways To Stop Yourself From Helicopter Parenting
Do you know what lurks in nearly every family in America, even the happy ones? Fear. Although I may try to hide my fears, the feelings come across, and my kiddos pick up on them anyway. All of us just want to keep our kids safe and give them the best life possible in an all too uncertain world, but here's the thing: If we don't balance our focus on safety with the valuable, life-lesson richness of risk-taking, we're robbing our kids of invaluable growth opportunities. What's more, the latest research shows that kids with helicopter parents can grow up to feel inadequate and unprepared for adulthood.
"OK, I hear what you're saying," you might be thinking, "but how do you expect me to let go of all this fear and worry? It's a scary world out there!"
It's completely natural for us to worry about our kids, but adding an additional layer of awareness for ourselves can set us free from being enslaved by fear. What's important to remember is that, under all of this fear and worry, we will find our insecurities, not our children's. Of course it's OK—great, in fact—to love and support our children through every phase of their lives, but our fear and anxiety do little for them.
Mindfulness helps us let go of fear.
When I get clear on what I'm afraid of, particularly in the parent-child dynamic, I actually give myself a chance to put those fears aside. I certainly prefer to be with life as it really is rather than looking through the lens of my fears, and mindfulness is what helps me to gain that perspective.
Here are some easy mindfulness practices you can try to start allowing life to unfold without clutching to the unhelpful illusion of control. The very practice of becoming mindful of "what is" helps to dissipate the fear of all those unknowns and what-ifs.
1. Intentional breathing.
Taking intentional breaths throughout the day feels like a parenting superpower to me. Focusing on the breath can be a beautiful centering practice, but you have to build on it the same way you have to build your muscles at the gym. Repetition is the key. Remind yourself to take these breaths by adding them to your calendar, writing yourself reminder notes, or setting an alarm on your phone—whatever it takes. You can also call upon intentional breathing whenever you find yourself feeling out of sorts. Taking a few moments of stillness can put things in perspective, get you back on an even keel. and even help you observe whatever you were thinking or feeling that triggered a reaction.
2. Explore your triggers.
Sit down with a journal or piece of paper and write out what triggers you most in the course of a day. Think about the morning, afternoon, and evening. Consider the home environment as well as the outside world. Which people seem to trigger an unwelcome response? What is it that they do? We can't change or make shifts in our lives without awareness of where we struggle. Make this list without beating yourself up over any of it. Think it all through in a matter-of-fact way, as if you were a researcher collecting data. Don't take it personally; just get to know it. This will help you eventually decode patterns with your kids.
3. Mindful listening.
For the next few days, listen to your child without any plan or desire to respond. Just listen. Notice if, as they are speaking, you are already planning what you are going to say next. As soon as you notice yourself doing this, bring yourself mindfully back and attune with them again, listening even more deeply to whatever it is they are sharing with you. What have you been missing?
As we practice becoming more mindful throughout our days, we naturally become less inclined to the overreaction and fear-based choices that result in helicopter parenting. Through this, we can give our children the gift of natural consequences—give them the chance to learn from what they do, not from what we tell them to do.
For example, my teenage son went to basketball practice with a long-sleeved shirt under his jersey. My initial instinct was to tell him to take it off, that he would be too hot and uncomfortable playing in that. In a moment of mindful awareness, before opening my mouth, I realized that experiencing the natural consequences of his choice would be more effective than anything I would tell him.
It's choices like this in small moments that give us an opportunity to begin reeling back our helicopter parenting and bring ourselves in for a landing. Each chance we give our kids to make their own decisions and discover the consequences of their actions helps them more on their path to adulthood than any of our fears can. We want the best for them, and now we have a new way to support their ultimate well-being. To the surprise of many of us, it's by healing ourselves first.

Vacationers and wilderness enthusiasts have been flocking to West Canada in recent years to explore the Canadian Rockies and, just looking at the photos, it's easy to see why. Composed of vast valleys, expansive mountains, and colorful lakes, the Canadian Rockies is home to some of the most spectacular national parks and untouched wilderness in North America. If you're planning an adventure to the snowy white north, you'll want to head to these awesome national parks and attraction along the way!
Banff National Park
As Canada's first National Park, Banff is well-known among travelers for its gorgeous lakes and impressive mountains. Receiving close to four billion visitors each year, Banff is the centerpiece of the Canadian Rockies.
Your base of operations for most adventures will be the alpine town of Banff, just an hour from Calgary, which offers a thrilling gondola ride to the top of Mt. Robson, day trips to Lake Minnewanka, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, and the soothing Banff Hot Springs. Whether you love hiking, skiing, photography, or water-sports, Banff National Park has something for you!
Johnston Canyon
Whether you're heading to the Rockies in summer or winter (hint: winter looks amazing!), Johnson Canyon has something for everyone. Formed from years of erosion by the Johnston Creek, the Canyon walls host a fascinating array of rock layers, waterfalls, and trails to wander down.
Located in Banff National Park, Johnston is a must see attraction year round. But I'll admit, I think this attraction shines best in winter when you can go ice walking.
Jasper National Park
With well over 2,500,000 acres of wilderness, Jasper National Park is the largest park in the Canadian Rockies. It is also regarded as having the most varied and thriving wildlife population of any Canadian national park.
A bit less traveled than Banff, the park works to preserve the ecosystems of the unique species that live there and minimize human disturbances, which means for you this is a great destination if you're looking to get lost in the peaceful backcountry.
Columbia Icefield
And, if you're going to explore Jasper, you can't miss a trip to Athabasca Glacier (especially since its 6 km (3.7 mi) long). One of the "toes" of the Columbia Icefield, Athabasca offers visitors the unique experience of walking across the glacier's surface.
With the specially designed Ice Explorer bus, you can ride out over the glacier's surface and get out for a stretch on this amazing natural wonder. If that's not thrilling enough for you, at the nearby Columbia Discover Center you can step out onto the Glacier Skywalk, a glass walkway akin to the Grand Canyon Skywalk that lets you stand over a 918-foot drop and receive untouched views of the Canadian Rockies.
Yoho National Park
Yoho National Park is one of the most accessible of Canada's parks, making it an easy escape for nature lovers. Relatively small, you can easily drive through the park and take in its lakes and mountains with a day trip from Banff. Hiking and photo opportunities are ample in this small slice of Canadian wilderness!
Whether you're traveling from Seattle, Vancouver, or Calgary, there are numerous ways to explore the Canadian Rockies and see Canada's Wild Side.

Like I said earlier I'm lost on the calendar dates. I'd like to have Dale write a scroll or two, but I'm not going to do it if it was on the day we were attacked, because he wouldn't have had spells ready for that battle. I'm not opposed to having him do it on a seperate thread though. Let me know what you would like me to do.

Leif Ericson
Leif Ericson Day – October 9, 2013
He was here first! Five hundred years before Christopher Columbus discovered the "New World," Viking explorer Leif Ericson stepped ashore somewhere on the north east coast of North America. Ericson was born in Iceland around 970 CE. His grandfather was exiled from Norway to Iceland and his father (the infamous Eric the Red) was in turn banished from Iceland. The family eventually settled in Greenland and when Leif came of age he was sent back to Norway to establish trade. While in Norway, Leif converted to Christianity and was encouraged to spread the word among his pagan countrymen when he returned to Greenland. Several Norse sagas relate his expeditions to the coast of North American and interactions with the native people he found there. While it is unclear exactly where Ericson landed, archaeological evidence has been found on several sites in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
To honor Leif Ericson and celebrate our Nordic-American heritage, the Congress, by joint resolution (Public Law 88-566) approved on September 2, 1964, has authorized the President of the United States to proclaim October 9 of each year as "Leif Ericson Day."
Read more about Leif Ericson in books from the JCC libraries. (Try searching the catalog for "Vikings.") Several databases (http://www.sunyjcc.edu/library/databases-by-title) contain entries about Leif Ericson: Gale Virtual Reference Library and Salem History – also try searching in National Geographic Virtual Library for "Vikings" for more information about this fascinating character.
