The actions in the fields around Gettysburg Pennsylvania, on July 2nd, 1863, indelibly etched the scenes of carnage into the American psyche. Hill's with the names of Little Round Top, Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill witnessed the terrible human drama that was playing out in the American Civil War. Lowlands and rock out cropping such as the Valley of Death and Devils Den also were named famous. Though, no area more encompasses the true struggle of Gettysburg than the Wheatfield. This small 20 acre filed witnessed heroism and carnage beyond belief. Infantry volleys, mixed with gruesome bayonet attacks, and desperate hand to hand struggles brought an apt description of the fighting in this area, "a whirlpool of death."
For as famous as the Wheatfield is today, another scene of intense fighting adjacent to the field is almost entirely overlooked. It is an area simply known as Stony Hill. To many the fighting on Stony Hill is simply a footnote in the larger story of the battle, for this small rise was wedged between the Wheatfield and the Sherfy Peach Orchard. The fight for Stony Hill is an integral part of the story of Gettysburg. The fighting that took place over a roughly 45 minute time frame, thwarted Confederate efforts to drive Meade's entire left flank from the field, bought time for Union reinforcements to arrive in the field, while also tying up enough Confederates in the area so that Lieutenant Colonel Freeman McGilvery's gunners were not completely over run while withdrawing to redeploy along Plum Run.
The fighting atop Stony Hill, involved portions of the famed Irish Brigade, who, clashed with Georgian's and South Carolinian's of Paul Semmes' and Joseph Kershaw's brigade's. The fighting also involved a relatively unknown Federal regiment, the 140th Pennsylvania Volunteers. This overlooked unit proudly served in the 1st Division, 2nd Corps, Army of the Potomac from Chancellorsville to Appomattox, and everywhere in between. The regiment produced three recipients of the Medal of Honor, was the second Federal unit over the works at the famed Mule Shoe Salient at Spotsylvania Court House, and was named one of Fox's Fighting 300 Regiments. By war's end the unit lost 732 men in combat (K-W-M). Of the 1,132 men that marched out of Western Pennsylvania in the summer of 1862, a mere 293 returned home in June of 1865. For a century and a half their story has been largely overshadowed by other events of that July day, but now it is their turn to have their story told.
The 140th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry was born in the fallout of Major General George McClellan's failed Peninsula Campaign. The "Emergency of 1862", witnessed McClellan and his vaunted Army of the Potomac being bested by the newly named Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by the audacious Virginian Robert E. Lee.
In late July Lee began moving north, taking the war from the backdoor of Richmond to the front door of Washington D.C. In this period President Lincoln made his now famous call for 300,000 more men to defend the Union. A massive rally of over 15,000 people was held in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (now the City of Pittsburgh's North Side). Pro-Union speeches abounded, money was raised for the cause, the spirit of patriotism reverberated through the crowd. In Southwestern Pennsylvania the call-to-arms went out on Monday July 18th, Governor Andrew Curtain called for 15 new regiments to be raised from the Commonwealth. That same day, recruiting for what became the 140th Pennsylvania began.
The first company to be raised for the regiment came from Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Its organizer was the 42 year old District Attorney of Beaver, Pennsylvania, Richard Roberts. Roberts was a staunch Republican, who fully backed Governor Curtain and President Abraham Lincoln.
In 1861 Roberts expounded upon the virtues of the Union and what he viewed as the growing scourge that was the Southern Confederacy. Thorough out 1861 and early 1862 Roberts had talked a big game; finally in July 1862 he put his money where his mouth was. He called on Curtain to allow him to raise a company in defense of the Union, but did not wait for the governor's reply. Instead on July 18th he began traveling to churches in rural Beaver County rallying men to the cause. He must have been a passionate and influential speaker, because instead of filling one company he filled three!
In Washington County Pennsylvania other influential men were flocking to Lincoln's call as well. On July 26, David Acheson, a 21 year old junior at Washington College rallied his classmates, and took to the countryside like Roberts and raised a company for the Union. At Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania Professor John Fraser told his students, "Gentlemen…we will …become Sons of Mars, with 'On to Richmond!' as our cry. Permit me to introduce to you Captain John Fraser and announce that the chair of the mathematics in this college is now vacant." Fraser began his recruiting on the opposite end of the county as Acheson.
At the Harrison House, the principal hotel in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania John McCullough began the recruitment effort in Greene County Pennsylvania. Like their counterparts to the north in Washington County, the Greene County boys began recruiting at the local college, the aptly named Waynesburg College (Today Waynesburg University); then moved to the countryside.
In mid-August all of the companies rallying to the Union cause in Southwestern Pennsylvania were ordered to Camp Howe, a camp of instruction in the modern day Oakland section of Pittsburgh. From there on September 4th the companies were ordered to Camp Curtain in Harrisburg where they were formed into regiments. The 140th comprised companies from four counties. Company A was made up of the men from Greene County. Company B hailed from Mercer County. Companies F, H and I consisted of the men from Beaver County that Richard Roberts had recruited. Finally, Companies C, D, E, G and K were all formed from Washington County. In all 1,132 men went to war under the colors of the 140th Pennsylvania. (All company designations came simply from drawing letters from a hat.)
While at Camp Curtain the men received their uniforms, which included the standard issue forage cap, blue trousers, and frock coat. Other necessities of war were issued and officer's elections were held. Roberts was voted Colonel, John Fraser was elected Lieutenant Colonel , and Mercer County native Thomas Rodgers selected as Major. The senior Captain of the regiment was David Acheson of Company C.
The regiment spent its first few months of service guarding a rail line near Parkton Maryland. Luckily for the green unit they missed both the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg, arriving on the banks of the Rappahannock River just days after Ambrose Burnside's defeat at Fredericksburg. Upon their arrival at the front the Keystone state men were dubbed the "walking artillery" by members of the Irish Brigade because of their heavy outdated armament of Vincennes muskets. The newbie's settled into the dull routine of winter camp life. While in winter camp in Stafford County, Virginia the regiment built winter huts, stood picket on the banks of the Rappahannock, often trading insults and coffee with the Rebels on the south bank of the river.
The regiment was attached to Colonel Samuel K. Zook's brigade of, Brigadier General Winfield S. Hancock's 1st Division, 2nd Corps. Zook, a fellow Pennsylvania, took to the regiment immediately. Hancock though did not. Upon drill one afternoon one of Hancock's aides, Major George Washington Scott, found the regiment deficient in its battalion evolutions. The poor evaluation brought the harsh response by Hancock of revoking furlough privileges for the regiment. This did not sit well with Zook. He confronted Hancock by flat out saying that "Scotty lied". Hancock rescinded his reprimand on the regiment, and Zook won the hearts of his Pennsylvania boys forever more. (This would not be the last clash between Zook and Major Scott, whom Zook had no respect for as an officer.)
This was not the first clash that Zook and Hancock had got into. The two men respected one another, but their personalities were such that the men were too similar to one another. During divisional drill Hancock "…usually does a lot of swearing." When Zook felt the ire of his division commander he "…gives it as good as he gets without fear of consequences…" The two men "…think it great fun." To Zook's loyal staff officer Josiah M. Favill "…it is amusing to hear them go after one another."
Preparations continued for the pending spring campaign, which would take Hancock's Division to the Chancellorsville Crossroads. On the march Zook and Hancock yet again went at one another. Hancock was not pleased with the way Zook's Brigade conducted themselves on the march towards Chancellorsville, thus he went into an expletive filled rant towards Zook. According to one onlooker, Zook bided his time until Hancock took a deep breath. The brigade commander then parried Hancock's thrust and went into an expletive filled rage of his own. The onlooker stated "It was the greatest cursing match I ever listened to; Zook took advantage of Hancock, by waiting until the latter got out of breath, and then he opened his organ pipe, and the air was very blue."
On the eve of their first battle J. W. McFarland wrote "Coffee is cooked and we lie down to rest. The coming fight is discussed. Swearing, coarse, jesting and laughter are heard. At length this subsides; nothing is heard but the lonely voice of the Whippoorwill. The moon and stars look down as peacefully and sweetly as if there were no strife on the earth."
On May 1st, 1863 Zook's Brigade marched out the Orange Turnpike toward the enemy and the 140th witnessed their first taste of combat. In a letter home Captain Acheson penned his thoughts on his first taste of combat. "It would be impossible to describe the feelings of a green soldier in such a position. A holy horror seizes him at first but he soon becomes accustomed to the whizzing and bursting of those fiery messengers and trusts to fate."
The heaviest fighting of the Battle of Chancellorsville took place on Sunday, May 3rd. Confederates attacked the Federal position from three sides for almost five full hours. In the melee the 140th was called upon to help rescue the guns of Captain George F. Leppien's 5th Maine, Battery E. Leppien's horses and artillerists fell by the score. The guns were hauled to the rear by a detachment of men from Company D, H, and C. Lieutenant Charles Linton oversaw this action until they reached a safe point, from which members of the Irish Brigade finished what the Pennsylvanian's had started and hauled the guns farther to the rear.
Captain Thomas Henry of Company F was dispatched to the Chancellor House itself. The home, which served as Joseph Hooker's headquarters, was ablaze. Wounded soldiers had to be evacuated. In the basement of the home too were the Chancellor women, who were withdrawn from the house. Henry saved three women himself, having one under each arm and another holding onto his coat tails.
Hancock's Division was one of the last of the line on May 3rd. They served as the rearguard of the army as Hooker redeployed his men in a new line of battle north of the crossroads; a line he abandoned on the evening of May5th/morning of the 6th.
The Pennsylvanian's had engaged in their first real combat and passed with flying colors. The regiment was relatively lucky, only sustaining 65 casualties. Colonel Roberts considered himself lucky to survive the battle unscathed and sent a quarter dollar piece that he carried in his pocket home to his daughter Emma. He told her to "… have a medal made of it."
The game was all about to change for the men of the 140th Pennsylvania. Since joining the Army of the Potomac in December, 1862 the strategic initiative was squarely in Union hands. With the defeat at Chancellorsville all that changed. Lee planned to move north; by doing so he put the Union army on the defensive and tried to make that army bend to his will.

From The Peanut Gallery
May 20, 2011 by Chip Wood
*Please, Mr. President, shut up. There's a lot I love about the South, particularly my adopted state of Georgia. But there's one thing I am definitely not proud of: the wacky pronouncements from incredibly ineffective do-gooder Former President Jimmy Carter. Did you hear his latest? He said we are guilty of a "human rights violation" because we "deliberately withhold food aid to the people of North Korea." After all, "one of the most important human rights is to have food to eat." So every hungry person in the world has a claim on what we grow? Only a peanut brain — excuse me, I meant a peanut farmer — would say so.
*Someone should tell the Feds to butt out. The U.S. Department of Justice has promised to investigate whether college football is unfair in the way it selects its national champion. I kid you not; the Federal agency says it is concerned that the Bowl Championship Series may violate Federal antitrust rules. It wants to know why college football doesn't use a playoff system, as so many other college sports do. If you think this issue sparks some heated debates now, just wait until Washington tells us how to pick the winner.
*Elvis no longer makes the list. For the first time in 55 years, "Elvis" is not one of the 1,000 most popular boys' names in America. When he heard the news, Commissioner of Social Security Michael Astrue, whose agency tracks baby names via applications for Social Security numbers, said: "I was all shook up." The most popular boys' name continues to be "Jacob." The most popular girls' name is "Isabella." Also continuing a very old tradition, "Barack" did not make the list.
*Aren't you glad you didn't bid? Here's another example of how quickly computers can screw things up. It happened when two booksellers offered the same title on eBay — but one instructed the auction house to list its copy for a little bit more than any other copy. When a second seller told eBay to price his copy at 99.83 percent of the highest price, a robotic price war broke out. Before it ended, eBay was offering "The Making of a Fly" (surely not the most popular book it ever offered) for $23.7 million. You will not be surprised to learn there were no takers at that price — or even .01 of 1percent of it.

|What Scripture Says
Elisabeth Elliot: This is what God says. This is the pattern for us godly women. Now how can we do this?
Lisa Barry: That's a question Elisabeth Elliot will pose to her special guest, Gayle Sommers, on today's Gateway To Joy program. All this week, they've been discussing the issues that concern mothers. Things like the relationship of a husband and wife and the difference in having to work and wanting to work. We all know there are situations where a family would have to go on welfare if the mother didn't work, but this isn't the case for most. Today, they'll look at what the scriptures say about a mother's priorities. If you'd like to follow along, take out your Bible and open it to the book of Titus, specifically Chapter Two. I think you'll appreciate the wisdom found in the verses. And now stay with us for an interesting discussion right here on Gateway To Joy. Here's Elisabeth.
Elisabeth Elliot: You are loved with an everlasting love. That's what the Bible says. And underneath are the everlasting arms. This is your friend Elisabeth Elliot talking again today with my friend, Gayle Sommers, about the subject of mothers and whether or not to work. I want to ask you, Gayle, what would you say is the cornerstone passage of Scripture that bears on this subject?
Gayle Sommers: Well, I would say that it has to be Titus, the letter that Paul wrote to Titus. In chapter 2, let's just read the first verse of chapter two here, because this explains what Paul had on his mind when he wrote what he did to Titus. Chapter 2 in Titus: "Teach what is in accord with sound doctrine." That to me says that what follows here is how are you going to teach your people to live out their lives in a way that lines up with the doctrine that we believe? That was the purpose that Paul had in mind in writing to Titus.
He goes on to talk about what to teach the older men, and in verse 3 he talks about what to teach the older women and that is really the paragraph I am going to look at right now. It says, "Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, to teach what is good, then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands so that no one will belittle the Word of God."
Now I think here, very conveniently, Paul has given us a good description of what those of us who fall in this category are supposed to be doing with our time. If we are wondering if we are supposed to live in this age, we can't do much better than to look right here in verses 4 and 5. The older women have a responsibility to help the younger women to understand that this is what you are supposed to do, this is how life is supposed to look to you. You are to love your husband and your children, you are to be self-controlled and pure, you are to be busy at home. He spells it out that way. It really isn't left to how do we feel in the 20th Century. We are to live out Christian doctrine. Paul says that this is how it is supposed to go. You teach people and they teach each other.
Elisabeth Elliot: Okay. I dish out this advice all the time, but I feel as if people can write me off because they say, "Well, you come from a generation a thousand years ago. You don't really know the hard realities of life today." But you told us the other day that you are 40, but you are an older woman, aren't you? If you teach in a college as you described yesterday, this means that you do have influence on younger women; and sometimes I've reminded audiences that every single woman in this audience is an older woman. If you are 20, you are old. You have a tremendously powerful influence on a 15-year-old. So, this passage is one that I don't think any of us can escape. We are all meant to set an example for younger women. Go on and tell us what else Paul is talking about here.
Gayle Sommers: Well, I think that the thing to go for right away is that most women today would get extremely squeamish with the phrase "to be busy at home." Now that would make a lot of women very squeamish, and the first thing that they would want to say (and I've heard women say it lots of times) is that Paul was writing to a very different culture from ours--that women in that culture would never have expected to do anything else. They wouldn't have jobs. They didn't have education. There would never have been a thought to anything but staying at home--being busy at home, taking care of domestic matters. What I want to say in response to that is that it really doesn't matter. It doesn't really matter what was going on in that culture in that century and in that time.
Elisabeth Elliot: Why do you say that, Gayle?
Gayle Sommers: Paul has--this, of course, is the hot question--this is what women will go for every time. What kind of authority does Paul have? Why should we listen to Paul? Of course people were quite happy to listen to Paul until the feminist movement began to suggest notions about the role of women that were directly opposite to what Paul had to say. Let's face it, Paul is the one who gives most all of the teaching about the role of women. Peter gives a little bit, and Jesus doesn't really talk that much about the role of men and women. It was left up to the Apostle Paul.
So, when the feminist movement came along and started suggesting that women's roles were very different from what Paul was saying, unfortunately, I am afraid, Christians started running to the writings of Paul to see how they could lessen his authority and disconnect us from what he had to say.
Elisabeth Elliot: His authority was apostolic.
Gayle Sommers: Right. So, they started saying things like, "He was speaking from his background as a Rabbi, he was speaking from a patriarchal society, and of course he was limited in that, so he spoke what he knew." Those of us who are so enlightened about the 20th Century now, we can look back on poor, pitiful Paul and we can just sort of break up what has authority and what doesn't. This patriarchal stuff now, now that we know that the patriarchal form was rubbish, we can sort of junk what Paul had to say that suggests or touches on that theme and go from there. We're not really talking about somebody who wants to know about the roles of men and women, we are talking about a person who has real questions about how to interpret the Bible.
Are we at liberty to take something that Paul has written, and from the 20th Century look down on it and say, "This just can't be true for us." If we could do that about the role of women, we could do that about homosexuals, which of course we know some Christians want to do. We could then move onto a lot of other things Paul talked about, like the blood of redemption, the blood of the lamb.
Elisabeth Elliot: Just take whatever you are comfortable with, right? People are always feeling as if they must feel comfortable, and they say, "Well, I don't know about this guy Paul. I don't really feel very comfortable with him. I think he was sort of a male chauvinist."
Gayle Sommers: Yes, exactly right.
Elisabeth Elliot: I say to people who talk that way, "I don't think you have read Paul very carefully, because nobody was more appreciative of women and of what women did to contribute to his ministry. I think he had an amazing understanding that would be beyond the scope of a bachelor or widower, or whatever he was when he wrote his epistles." He was apparently a single man at that time. Obviously, he was inspired by the Holy Spirit of God and you and I take what he says very seriously, so this passage in Titus is the cornerstone passage, isn't it?
Gayle Sommers: Well, I believe it is. There is another passage in 1 Timothy that also speaks about the role of women in kind of an indirect way, but I actually think this is an extremely helpful passage to those of us who want to get serious about living godly lives in this age. It has to do with how the church in that day drew up the list of widows, those women for whom the church was responsible, those women who had no other family members to take care of them. And in doing that, Paul gives a very clear and helpful summation about what the life of an adult Christian should have looked like by the time she got to widowhood.
I think that that passage is one that we need not neglect. Let me just read it quickly here: "No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over 60, has been faithful to her husband and is well-known for her good deeds--such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the saints, helping those in trouble, and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds." What could be more helpful, what could be clearer than that? This is what the adult Christian woman should be doing with her life, so that by the time she is a widow and goes on the widow's list--of course that was a practical matter for Paul--but it is a helpful, everyday matter for us now.
Elisabeth Elliot: It is a summary, isn't it, of what a godly woman was expected to be doing in New Testament times. Should godly women be expected to be doing totally different things, are we not also responsible to take seriously what was the standard in those days? I am so grateful to you for your emphasis on the fact that this is what God says, this is the pattern for us godly women, now how can we do this? We are being told that it is impossible, it is unrealistic, and there's no way we can make it. But you have been encouraging us to believe that maybe God does have an answer.
And I have had some amazing testimonies from women who did not think that they could make it financially, yet after having read the Scriptures and wanting to submit themselves in obedience to God, they prayed and said, "Lord, is there another way? Can you show me some way that we can survive without my income?"
And it has just been amazing some of the stories that I have heard from women to whom God has shown a way that never entered their heads until they got down before Him and said, "Lord, I really want to obey you. I want to do anything you say. Now show me." God has shown them. The first thing I want to do when a woman says to me, "No way can I do it," I want to say, "Have you really tried God? I challenge you to trust God for a different answer."
Lisa Barry: I hope today's talk by Gayle and Elisabeth has helped you see your own situation in light of God's principles. The decisions you need to make concerning your children may not be easy, but you can rely on God to give you the wisdom you need if you ask him. I would also like to encourage you to get a cassette copy of this series entitled Called to be Mothers. It's one of the things we've included in a very timely Mother's Day packet. You'll receive a brand new book that includes hundreds of pages of Amy Carmichael's poetry called Mountain Breezes. Also, a study journal, Elisabeth Elliot's greeting card sampler, and heartwarming readings. It's all available for $30.00 in our Mother's Day Packet. To get yours, you can send that amount along with a note to Gateway To Joy, Box 82500, Lincoln, Nebraska, 68501. Or you can call toll-free 1-800-759-4JOY. That's 1-800-759-4569. On the Internet we're at gatewaytojoy.org. Today's program has been a production of Back to the Bible and please pray for us that we will continue to do God's work in God's way. I'm Lisa Barry. Thanks for listening, and I hope you'll plan to join us again tomorrow when we meet again Gateway To Joy.

Arm of God
With the help of 16 Tyler School of Art sophomore glass blowers I made this arm inspired by Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel. It's an example of how to make something seemly more complex out of repetitive basic forms, consecutive blown feet. It was also an exercise in organizing and relying upon community.

Scared to leave my car
Scared to leave my car
Just carry a knife and you'll be okay haha
Okay. Just Be careful, bro. Don't say or do anything to instigate anyone and stay away from the drunk Philly fans. Do that and you should be fine.
Did you go by yourself, or with someone?
Much respect brother.... Hope you make it out of there safe above all...
Actually pulled up next to some huge giants fan. He's weirdly from the same town in va I am!
Screw those fake tough guys. Get out get loud and proud. Hammer them all night long.

"I do not get my information from a website like Townhall. " Excellent choice. But, TH supposedly represents conservative thought. Allegedly Republicans also represent conservative opinion (some do, most don't). IF seniors are being denied care due to a lack of doctors (and I contend that they are denied care) then wouldn't you think that allegedly conservative voices like TH and Republicans or any other would voice this very obvious problem instead of wasting time on what might happen years from now? Just curious.

@moviegeek I can't wait to read your foreseen negative review of this movie, should you see it and review it. It's gonna have an epic argument in it. Unless the movie completely misses the mark.
I like.

@skywise Of course, but if I was 10 years younger I'd be going crazy with it for wallpaper in my room
3 years agoby @bawnian-dexeusFlag
@bawnian-dexeus i was thinking something along that line but not quite as grand..i was thinking of a poster similar to that famous Marvel poster that was put out several years back with the entire Marvel Stable.
I think i will settle for a desktop wallpaper....does that count?
@skywise@rexspinas Would be cool to have this as wallpaper for a room, that way you can see all the Corp

Couldn't care less about this movie a few weeks ago, but I'm starting to like what I see. Fingers crossed.
And on another note, I wonder if this movie being successful could help get Deadpool shooting by next year, with RR possibly being in higher demand if Green Lantern is a hit.
That actually looks pretty cool. If only it was bigger...
3 years agoby @rexspinasFlag
I'm ready for this movie to come out already!!! There isn't much more they can show without spoiling the whole movie. I think GL has the potential to the #1 comic book movie this year. Well Transformers is a comic book too so scrap that cause T3 is gonna own the summer of '11

We are celebrating over 20 years of success and I firmly believe everyone should create a supplemental income stream alongside their core business to provide an annuity for their family's future.

My Lai Massacre Memorial Site - Vietnam - Main Monument
The My Lai Massacre was the Vietnam War mass murder of between 347 and 504 unarmed civilians in South Vietnam on March 16, 1968, by United States Army soldiers of "Charlie" Company of 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade of the Americal Division. Most of the victims were women, children (including babies), and elderly people. Some of the bodies were later found to be mutilated.
Dear Buddha, please bless these poor souls in their lives. This event happened yesterday, back in 1968. It's sad how Americans can get away with this kind of bloodshed.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email MOULTRIE, GA (WALB) - Big crowds were on hand in Moultrie for the second day of the Sunbelt Ag Expo. Students were bussed in from classrooms across southwest Georgia.
More than 1,200 exhibitors are set up at Spence Field for the 3-day show. Field events postponed because of recent rain were up and running on the second day.
It was tough to navigate the streets here in some areas because of the good attendance. Many FFA and 4 H students were also here, learning more about agriculture.
While the streets were filled with people, colleges like Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College say getting those passing by excited about agriculture isn't always easy. Many farmers are concerned the next generation isn't as concerned about working the family farm as past generations have been.
That's why ABAC has created a Rural Studies degree that focuses on rebuilding small town America.
"My generation doesn't want to stay on the farm, they want to go to the big cities and get the big corporate jobs that pay six figures in the first year and they forget about the underlying aspects of agriculture and how important it is," said ABAC Rural Studies Student Sara Ervin.
"We have to make sure students understand that all of those career opportunities are not on the farm that they have opportunities with Agra businesses like the ones that are here working at Sunbelt Ag Expo working direct with producers, but working on marketing," said Dr. Tim Marshall of the ABAC School of Agriculture.
ABAC Professors say students at a middle school level need to be taught more about agriculture in the classroom. The Farm Bureaus are helping with that by providing teachers with materials.
Organizers are hoping the crowds will be just as strong tomorrow as they were today. The Expo wraps up a little earlier on Thursday the gates close at 4:00.

Tose naina lage piya saware,... tose naina lage..umm beautiful song hammie, luv it . Perfect for the couple besotted with each other, wanted to share with readers the lyrics of the song, so here it is,.. ab you know full well the lyrics are in urdu my national language..but i also know you warm to the language.. glad you put it up.. any excuse to her it again..
Hammoo your dutta is a sure shot narcissist n he has the cheekines to chide naku for taking time, another common man woman area of conflict,lol Hmm, role reversals here, naku asking him to choose her jewellery, now i know where this is coming, dutta choosing jhumkas hahahaaa! Good choice Dutta oyeee ab apne tai wale loud ear wear tu chose kerne sa raha..waise i would pick jhumkis too.. yehe suna tha tune..chuckle chuckle..hooo haa . me going baji.. now nautanki..
ok next naku wants to wear pencil stilettoes, what a makeover for the demure naku ! ... any reason to fall into his waiting arms. aaand he lets her.. so gare us ke bahoon mein aur woh tham le use hayeee..I hope rose is reading this..
But thank goodness she wore something comfortable nahi toh would make a fool of herself if she twisted her ankle or had a fall n dutta crying dhoka...haaa hooo true Cough, cough, naku pallu teekh karle.. her beauty only for his eyes.yeshhh
And what is it with dutta 24/7, 365 obsessed with naku n yet he thinks his lov for her is not carnal...ohhh haaa hoo, oyee nehi he likes to give the impression that platonic bhi hai, oh come on , she too ,allures him, and woh bhi, loves to take up a challenge, but choo hai ..according to you.. its always a challenge for naku to keep him at arms distance. Unknowingly she has certainly him tied to her pallu or even her little finger. He is a goner for eternity. Ofcourse her ravishing beauty doesnt help matters either.you have said it, i guess to be wholesome and comely looking does help both the man and the woman.. although attraction mein other things like personality of person does count a lot..
Ok after his approval the two finally make it downstairs, Its amusing to see dutta blushing when naku is being adored by the family.yess do remember these little moments of his personality in LTL 1..ab sab ke samne ek kiss naku ko dene sa tu raha dutta.. mind you.. if he is in a temper tu above the wrist se zaroor drag ker leta hai naku ko..
Baji the chauffeur for DN in the merc, dutta at his chivalrous best, instantly remembered a kadoos dutta in LTL1 when he orders her to get in his jeep post FR when he says "Aa bait" What a change for him too! Umm cosy seating for the two before they part in the party. And dutta instead of carryin on the job at hand is drawn to an unpleasant memory ... slapping naku in the party.I reckon I must have written this piece originally after that episode where he smacked her..so cross referenced it. He is also anxious if she would be able to fit with the crowd, natural concern with naku,s background n upbringing, only a caring spouse would go to such lengths well it also means that he hopes that she knows that he is not going to be sticking to her side,. Hamesha mauke ka talash mein rehta hai aur jab mauka mila toh kahi khogaya, aaargghh GADHAAA! welll that's colors and now hammie for you.. somethings are cascaded to maintain the flavour.. ab har koi Major ke theran nehi hota target, aim, fire!
Waiting for the party sharty hammoo... smiles n lots of sunshine to you...
thanks bart for your brill comment video.. etc etc.. aur mera liya peeeyaar.. with much love,as ever yours hammie..

Alliance Data Systems Corp. (ADS) said charge-offs and delinquencies on the private-label credit cards it oversees decreased in April from a year earlier.
The loyalty program and private-label credit-card operator, which oversees accounts for retailers such as Victoria's Secret, Ann Taylor and Pottery Barn, has posted strong results lately, as credit quality and credit-card sales improved.
Charge-offs, or loans it doesn't expect to be able to collect, fell to 4.6% last month from 5.3% a year earlier but increased from 4.4% in March.
The delinquency rate was 3.6%, down from 3.8% in March and a year earlier.
Alliance last month said its first-quarter earnings rose 12% as another strong performance in the company's core private-label credit-card business helped lift Alliance's quarterly revenue above $1 billion for the first time.
Shares closed Tuesday at $177.23 and were inactive premarket. The stock is up 22% this year.

Three Steps To Greatly Increase Your Patience Patience is a characteristic we could all learn. In my professional career I have met some impatient people. I also have met some patient ones. In my opinion the ones who have more patience get farther, have more successes, seem happier and less stressful, and overall enjoy better lives. Doesn't that sound great? I don't know if some of us are born with it or maybe if we learn it at some point in our lives. Myself,

I am planning on moving to Munich at the moment. I visited it before (just for one week) and would love to go back for longer. I havent decided how long I will stay but probably atleast a month to see if I like it.
Can anyone tell me if it is hard to find work in Munich? I dont really mind what kind, bar or restaurant work would be fine. I also speak some German but I am not fluent.
It would be great to hear if anyone has done this themselves.

The costs of good health
Increasingly, though, high-deductible plans make sense for families and older individuals as well, as Health Savings Accounts enable tax-deductible health-expense budgeting of up to $5,800 yearly for a family to be deducted from taxes, representing $1,450 federal tax savings in the 25 percent tax bracket. The accounts allow for funds to roll over to the next year if unused.
The key is in budgeting for both premium and out-of-pocket expenses and having enough in the HSA to cover them. If the health plan paired with them has no copays or coinsurance, an HSA might even make sense for individuals with higher expenses. Frequent doctor visits and prescriptions will meet deductibles quickly, and the rest of the year's eligible procedures will be covered in full.
Roadside Doctoring
Trucker-friendly clinics help ease suffering of drivers in need of health care
By Randy Grider
OK, so you have insurance or cash in your pocket for health care services – what are your choices while on the road?
Most truckers will tell you, they are few and far between.
In most places across the country, truckers' health care opportunities are limited to urgent care-type facilities, hospital emergency rooms and local physicians – if you're lucky enough to talk one into seeing you.
"It hasn't been easy getting health care on the road," says 53-year-old Wayne Helton of Memphis, Tenn., a former owner-operator who now drives for SMS Trucking of Cabot, Ark. "I've had to reach into my own head and pull my own teeth."
Helton, who can recall numerous personal health emergencies during his 27 years of driving a truck, says his experiences are not uncommon.
"There are many drivers out there driving up and down the road sick," Helton says.
There are myriad reasons drivers cannot, or will not, stop to seek health care while on the job, among them a lack of insurance, the high costs of walk-in services and fear of losing their jobs if they shut down their rigs while under a load. "Some companies out there brainwash their drivers into believing they can't put themselves out of service for health reasons," Helton says. "These type companies use the drivers and run their health into the ground."
But an equally influential deterrent to health care on the road is a lack of available facilities that fit the trucking lifestyle. The majority are located in areas not easily accessed by commercial vehicles.
Joyce Nolte, a 64-year-old Texarkana, Ark., resident who retired from trucking four months ago after 13 years of over-the-road driving, says having a medical problem on the road is a helpless feeling. She once suffered gall bladder problems that confined her to her truck in California until the condition forced her to call for an ambulance in Tennessee to rush her to the hospital.
"A lot of times, truckers have to wait until they get home," Nolte says. "When you're driving a big truck, there's no place to go with them."
Finally, some relief.
Dr. Ronald Rush, who is Nolte's hometown physician, was moved to act by another trucker patient, who came to his office with a broken ankle.
"I asked him when he had injured his foot," Rush says. "He told me he had done it two weeks earlier when he was jumping down from his truck. He said he was on the East Coast and couldn't find a doctor, so he waited until he got home to see me."

There's already lots of information and commentary in circulation about these two companies and what they're up to, but if you want a peek behind the scenes to understand how they came into being, you should absolutely read this post by Keith Smith, BigDoor's CEO and co-founder.
Instead of talking about what BigDoor does, Keith's post tells the story of how his company got off the ground, what role my partner Andy Sack and other early investors played in that process, and how Brad and his partners at Foundry engaged over a period of months before coming to a decision to invest. Here are a few choice quotes to whet your appetite for the full text:
On Andy's response to BigDoor's decision to scrap their first six months of work:
"Andy listened intently, probed with questions and within 30 minutes said, 'Great, let's do it.'... We had made commitments to Andy and our other investors, and changing direction like this meant he was willing to forget every one of those prior promises and start down a new path. We needed more capital and more runway than initially planned, and our investors immediately got behind us."And on Foundry's evaluation process:
"Never once did anyone at Foundry ask us for projections or historical financials. We didn't talk about the deal, valuation or board composition and we never talked about exit timing or how much money they needed to make. Product, customers and philosophy – that's where we spent our time."Keith is an incredibly capable and disciplined entrepreneur, and everything he's accomplished to date is a result of his total commitment to making BigDoor a success. What's most gratifying about his post is his appreciation for the role that investors can play in building a new business, and his candor about the type of investor interaction and support that "feel right" to an experienced entrepreneur. In Keith's words:
"Brad and Andy are cut from the same cloth... and are both passionate to their core about helping startups."I'm proud of the role that Andy and Founders Co-op played in Keith's early success, and incredibly excited that Keith and his team now get to work with Brad and his partners at Foundry Group to take BigDoor to the next level.

TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings, Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Rookie safety Harrison Smith was one of two first round selections made by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2012 NFL draft. He was a four year starter at Notre Dame and is looking to make an immediate impact in a very weak Vikings' secondary. Smith is a big safety as he is six foot two inches and 213 lbs. However, he is a smart and athletic safety as well and will be vying for one of the starting safety positions. He is very strong as a zone safety and that is what the Vikings will be looking to use him as. In college, he started all four years as a defensive back recording seven interceptions, shockingly all in 2010, and 186 solo tackles in his career. Smith's stats really are not flashy, but sometimes the best defensive backs' stats are not very flashy. If a defensive back is doing his job, he is keeping the ball from coming into his zone. So who is competing with Smith for in the free safety position? As of right now, Smith is listed as the back up to Jamarca Sanford. Sanford ...

Better Business Bureau Tips for Purchasing Gift Cards
Gift Cards. In my opinion they have become the de facto present. It's easy for people to purchase them and the recipients like them because they get to choose what to purchase. Since January, however, the BBB has received more than 440 complaints about the gift card industry, up from the 33 complaints received in 2010. In

Hope for Orangutans: Kellogg's committing to sustainable palm oil
Over three years ago, I wrote about two Girl Scouts challenging Kellogg's to drop palm oil from their Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies in order to protect endangered animals such as the orangutans and tigers, rainforests and tribes in Borneo and Sumatra. It may have seemed like a long time coming, but we finally have [...]

Act now to protect the Amazon
I know I've mentioned the Amazon rainforest on here multiple times, but to say it is important to our world is an understatement. "The Amazon is the world's largest tract of tropical rainforest, containing the Earth's greatest biological reservoir – around 30 percent of all terrestrial species are found there." (Source: BBC) And that's not [...]

I love simple features that make something automatically go from bland to extraordinary. These wooden, hand painted chalkboard gift tags do just that to anything they're attached to.

Why it's important to protect the Boreal Forest
Today on Care2, I watched this short but very informative video about the Canadian Boreal Forest. I realize that not everyone thinks like me and protecting something because it is part of nature isn't always descriptive enough. By protecting one place or species, like the Boreal Forest, you are protecting so much more. This video [...]

Are you unknowingly supporting rainforest destruction?
With most negative things in this world, the main reason they're still around is because people just aren't knowledgeable about the consequences.

(Which to…) Choose. Bike. Be Happy.
The accommodations in which I live are a bit further from my university campus than the others and I've strongly been considering riding a bike to school.
