that right there is the way out of this mess. brothers reaching out to brothers. even if all you can give is words of encouragement. dont matter what your job is , or mine , we're all in it . and god rules it .
03-13-2009, 08:51 AM #42Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
Jesus Christ & The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Some People spend their whole lives wondering if they made a difference in the world.
Luckily our Service Men and Women don't have that problem.
I do my own IT consulting work on my own terms and I have had some problems for the past 2 years keeping a steady income from that. It's feast or famine, mostly the latter.
I left a grocery retail store job for pocket money on Sunday afternoon for reasons I will not disclose and started working at a local bar/pool hall this morning for pocket money. I open the bar/kitchen, clean, stock, drink diet soda free vacuum, take care of pool tables, dump garbage, etc.... You get the picture. Get in there at 5:30 AM and bust butt until about 10:30-11:00. It works fine for now and I have the rest of my day to look for a job that's better fitting for the value I can add. The thing is that I went out and got that on my own. Nobody handed it to me. You have to be willing to do what you have to do.
We have jobs available in this area, a ton of them actually. They just don't pay $80k a year, not even close. And you have to actually WORK to make your money, not sit on your butt and collect big bucks for doing nothing. (Not to say you guys do that, I'm just venting at the local idiots I see around here).
The local problem here is that the sate of ILLINOIS makes it EASY for people to NOT work. Food stamps (Link cards) are all over this area, bigtime. Some people cheked out of the store with over $800 balances on their food stamp cards. I know because I worked a register from time to time and the balance comes out of the POS system on a paper receipt for the customer.
That's INSANE.....
Perfectly healthy people buying junk food, pop and other garbage on the taxpayers dime. Not milk, cheese, juice, meats, etc.... Garbage food.... Chips, dip, crackers, pop, Red Bull, Rockstar, etc... Geez...
Anybody that wants to get a job for around $8-$10 an hour can work here, assuming you pass a drug screen and security background check, starting Monday... All you have to do is show up and say you can do the job. You'll be hired on the spot. Training is free (and takes 10 minutes)....
But if you walk through the local mall at 2:00 PM, you see a TON of adults that should be working roaming around with their thumb up their butts, buying new cell phones, gym shoes, goofy jeans, etc... Living off of food stamps and other government checks that us working people don't even know exist...
Makes me sick....
And most of us out here are trying to really make a modest living and try to enjoy life...
Off my soap-box....
I sincerely hope everyone has success in finding a job that is out of work. Sometimes you need to do what you need to do though, even if it means doing something fundamentally different for a period of time... All we can do is try and band together and look for a positive. I've done that and I think I'm a better person for it.
Oh, and one more thing, sitting around waiting for that magic phone call for a job is a waste of time. You need to collect your unemployment, figure out what you can make on top of that without affecting your unemployment payment and go out and get a part time job to get out of the house. Being in the house sulking is a big mistake.... It also does nothing to help your situation. Having a job for minimum wage for a few days a week gets you out of the house and keeps you mind thinking and keeps you interacting with people. You don't NEED to put that part time job on your resume, but I think you should because it shows that nobody was going to keep you down long.... And you are a go-getter.
Those are the people I always liked to hire when I was a hiring manager.

I told my small group last night that if any of us wind up a greeter at Wal-Mart we need to praise God for it, and do it to our best.
I am praying for all you guys out of work, or even those that are fretting over the job they have.
There are seasons in this journey, they all have a purpose. From your post yours has built the character of a man.
Thanks for the kind words.
This situation has been going on for a while for me so if I can help somebody out I'm more than happy. It has not been fun, but it coulld be a LOT worse. I just refuse to let it get worse. I've met new people and have a couple of new freinds (networking...), I've been physically active (lost about 10 poiunds since November...) and have had time to do things around the house and look for a better opportunity. Those simple job(s) have kept me going plus I have a few extra bucks in my pocket to use for the range and a beer here and there...
The BEST thing to do is get out there and do something. If it's a greeter at Walmart, so what ? You get so say hello to people and shuffle a few shopping carts around now and then. Man, that's a real luxury when you are mentally smacked down (no ill feelings Mr. Morgan ) and feeling like you got screwed. It keeps your mind off of the bad things and keeps you thinking. I think that's incredibly important.
Everyone needs to think and act positive. We'll all be a lot better for it I believe.
With respect to God I believe in what I beleive in however we have to realize that we need to do things for ourself too. We get out of bed, take showers, get clothes on, go to work, take care of family, etc... When times get tough, praying helps but at the end of the day we need to to OUR part to make things happen. It just don't get delivered to us gift wrapped.

Ron I understand your post completly. I have been looking alot and have been asking around about jobs( that seems the best way to get hired , around here atleast, it not what you know its who you know) and I think i have a few leads( Pray it works out for me guys Please) But I have never been out of work. this long ( since Dec 12th). I know alot of places have laid guys off and told them we'll call you back in a month or 2, thats tough for alot of us.
Now as far as goverment help in Indiana, I have gotten no help from anyone, But I am ok. Dont really want or need it. I have seen more than my fair share of people abusing the system(I worked in grocery when I was younger) and know just what you are saying. My wife worked at the health food store years ago and she seen MANY people come in and pay for a System cleanse(for drugs) with 3 kids on thier hip and pennys in thier hands
It just stinks for alot of us. we had a good job we liked worked hard, dident miss work, advanced in our positions or in our own way, started making a comfortable living. and now due to NOTHING we have done lost our jobs to the recession.(mabey I speak for myself) But that is how I feel. I loved my job and now I dont have it due to NO fault of MY own.Mathews Ovation 60 lbs 29 Dl- Ranger custom Strings

It's just tough out there and we need to be tougher I guess.
When I filed for unemployment for the first time ever about 4 years ago when I got laid off I was almost in tears (and I'm a 48 year old guy).
Never did I think that would happen.
But in the time since then I have learned that becoming a coupon cutter and cherry picking grocery ads have made me challenge myself to figuring out how to save money.
And with the little bar thing I have, which I leave for in about 5 minutes, helps me mentally and physically. A few bucks to boot.
I just think that being positive and getting out there is the best medicine.
Take a break, do something where you're around other people and collect a few bucks. I think things will turn around for most of us and we'll be good.
Well, off to the bar business....

This post is really helpful, both for those people who were out of work, and for those who have but didn't think how lucky they are that they have it. I have a work, but didn't really like what I have been doing, I came across this thread and it sort of changed my point of view. Thanks!
I took a 15% pay cut 2 weeks ago. Last week a classification reduction and another cut of 6%. Even if there were jobs out there I don't think I would want to be low man on the totum pole right now. I got 10.5 years seniority at my job now.Bowtech Sniper 55lb 29" draw

You know, this is the first time I have not had a job since I was in my early 20's, and that was by choice. I am surviving ok, and can deal with the down time, but what bugs me is the lack of insurance. My 17 year old son got pretty sick and I had to take him to the ER. Everything came out fine, but I have no way to pay for it. So I was getting by, just getting by, now I will go under. Really sucks because I have ALWAYS done what I needed to. It is just damned frustrating.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - As he begins the process of refusing to complain anymore about his role, Dwight Howard wanted to make one thing clear about his Lakers future.
"I plan on being here for the remainder of the season," he said. "My focus and team's focus is to do what we can do to get into the playoffs."
Will that sentiment last once he becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1? He could re-sign for five years and $117.9 million instead of a four-year, $87.6 million deal with another team.
"We're not discussing that," Howard said. "Right now, our goal is to win. All I want to do is win. I have to put all my energy and sacrifice whatever I have to do, humble myself and go out there and play."
Those close to Howard say he likes Los Angeles, including the team's championship history and Hollywood spotlight it commands. But another source close to him says he's grown weary of Mike D'Antoni's fast-paced offense.
Nonetheless, Howard said Wednesday he won't complain anymore about his role.
"Dwight is a heck of a player," D'Antoni said. "Hopefully he's a Laker forever."

Crossville to offer HYDROTECT as an optional finish on a majority of its porcelain tile collections.
TOTO, the largest plumbing manufacturer in the world with $5.01 billion dollars in annual sales, today announced the launch of its new cross-industrial strategic partnership with Crossville, Inc., a U.S.-owned and operated manufacturer of award-winning porcelain, glass, and stone tile collections for residential and contract applications. Beginning in June, 2013, Crossville will offer HYDROTECT as an optional finish on a majority of its porcelain tile collections.
"TOTO established 'HYDROTECT Partners' to raise HYDROTECT's profile in the global marketplace and disseminate knowledge about this breakthrough technology worldwide," said Daijiro Nogata, President of TOTO USA. "TOTO continues to aggressively build our global network of cross-industrial strategic business partners. We are proud to announce that Crossville, Inc., is the newest member of our international network. This is announcement is a special pleasure for TOTO as we partner with Crossville on one of our key environmental initiatives – upcycling our imperfect and damaged china for new tile production. HYDROTECT will be available as an option on Crossville's recycled tile line, as well as its other collections," Nogata continued.
Crossville applies HYDROTECT to its porcelain tile during a second firing process, after the tile is traditionally glazed and fired. HYDROTECT will not wash or wear off over time and is not visible -- it does not alter the tile's appearance. "We are very honored to have HYDROTECT power collections by a leading U.S. porcelain tile manufacturer. Our partnership with Crossville will accelerate HYDROTECT's North American brand recognition," said Nogata.
HYDROTECT TechnologyTOTO's HYDROTECT technology utilizes photocatalysts with superhydrophilic and decomposition properties offering the following benefits:
Among HYDROTECT products' secondary benefits are global greenhouse gas reduction; carbon footprint reduction; contribution to LEED points on submitted projects; building maintenance cost savings; reduction in the use of harmful cleaning agents; and a net positive environmental impact as derived from Life Cycle Assessment.
*The product is currently under review by EPA. Data and information herein have not yet been evaluated and approved by the EPA. Information is based on 3rd party testing per ISO standards.

Artist's BiographySaxophonist/Multi instrumentalist Billy Carrión Jr. did not start in the traditional ways that most do: lessons, camps, college; Billy instead started with his love of music. Primarily self taught, Billy believes the baritone saxophone was his voice from the beginning. \"Even though most saxophones and woodwinds came easy enough to me, the baritone saxophone seemed like the challenge I wanted to endure for my career. Learning other instruments like percussion and bass has really brought more confidence to playing my baritone.\"
Billy\'s career started \"the old school route,\" which means he was given a chance when a band was in need. That band was called Cowboy Rhumba, and had some serious musicians including David Oquendo, Professor Joe, Robbie Ameen, among others. That was the turning point. Since then, he has exploded on the music scene, spanning many genres. Billy has been blessed to play as a side man alongside musicians like Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, Ruben Rodriguez, Joe Magnarelli, Tom Vella And The Wayside, United Nation, The Fiendz, Nestor Torres, Jerry Medina Paoli Mejias, Papo Vazquez, Los Pleneros De La 21, and many others. He has been seen in festivals such as Toro Y Salsa, The Caramoor Jazz Festival, The Heineken Jazz Festival, To name a few.
He is currently the baritone saxophonist for Henry Cole And The Afrobeat Collective, the musical director of his fathers orchestra, The Billy Carrion Sr. Orchestra, as well as performs as the horn specialist and arranger for Big Blue Meanie Studios. Billy\'s first album as leader, \"Transformed Conceptions,\" is currently out on iTunes and Google play.

Miranda Lambert pays tribute to '90s country on 'Platinum'
Listen to Miranda Lambert on iHeartRadio
Miranda Lambert says one song on her new album reflects her love of 1990s country music. The singer explains that she pays tribute to the era on "Another Sunday in the South" by incorporating '90s song titles into the lyrics, which she admits was a challenge.
Miranda explains that her co-writers on "Another Sunday in the South" -- Jessi Alexander and Ashley Monroe -- share her passion for '90s country. Lambert adds that she felt "a responsibility" to write the song, because she feels the music from 20 years ago is "not celebrated enough."
Platinum also features Miranda's hit "Automatic"as well as the Carrie Underwood duet "Somethin' Bad." Lambert is supporting the project with a performance Monday on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." On Tuesday she'll make a release day appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Was Iowa bidding against itself for fertilizer plant? From the Quad City Times:
When Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad pulled the trigger on the biggest incentive package in state history, he said he did so, in part, because of competition from neighboring Illinois.
But economic development officials with Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn's administration say they wanted no part of the project after they got wind of Iowa's "excessive" bid for the $1.4 billion fertilizer plant for which the Branstad administration offered up to $240 million in state and local tax breaks.
"To be clear — the state never put an offer on the table. We recognized early on that Iowa's bid was excessive, and we were not going to engage in a bidding war," Marcelyn Love, communications manager for the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, wrote in an email.
True, the word of Illinois politicians isn't the most reliable thing in the world. Then again, neither is the word of people telling you why you should give them money:
Tina Hoffman, spokeswoman for the Iowa Economic Development Authority, said the authority relied on the word of Orascom corporate officials and news reports to determine that Illinois was making a play for the fertilizer plant.
"Company officials indicated the tax savings would be in excess of $130 million. That information was validated when an Illinois senator was quoted in several news outlets about the bill he was sponsoring to assist a project like the one Orascom was proposing," she wrote in an email.
All right, then! If you say so, here's your $107 million!
Subsidizing the fertilizer plant would be unwise even if there were a bidding war with Illinois. It's never wise to take money from your taxpayers to lure and subsidize people. As I've pointed out, it's like taking your wife's purse to the bar to buy drinks for the girls. It's neither effective or impressive. But apparently there was no real bidding war, and Orascom was going to come to Iowa anyway; if so, they just bluffed Iowa into helping pay for it — and maybe also into indirectly helping finance their purchase of The Weitz Company, Iowa's oldest and largest construction contractor. Not exactly a shining moment for Iowa tax policy.

[Birkenfeld] told Bloomberg: "I'm the most famous whistleblower in the history of the world. It's a question of doing the right thing, and that's what I did."
What would have been right was not participating in tax evasion in the first place.
The author of the whistleblower law that so benefited Mr. Birkenfeld was none other than prairie populist Sen. Charles Grassley, who issued a statement this week: "An award of $104 million is obviously a great deal of money, but billions of dollars in taxes owed will be collected that otherwise would not have been paid."
This is the same Mr. Grassley last heard calling for AIG workers "to resign or commit suicide" during the 2009 retention bonus furor, which also saw the New York Attorney General implicitly threatening to publish the names of innocent AIG employees who didn't "voluntarily" relinquish money they were legally entitled to.
This is the same Mr. Grassley whom Wikipedia baldly states "repeatedly introduced measures that increase the level of double taxation on American citizens living abroad, including retroactive tax hikes."
Need we add that Mr. Grassley's longtime aide, who actually drafted the whistleblower law, now represents Mr. Birkenfeld and stands to collect an interesting percentage of the award Mr. Grassley so obligingly applauds?
Senator Grassley has been a major play in tax policy for nearly three decades. The state of the tax law today isn't exactly a tribute to the senator.
I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this press release. From a Department of Justice Press Release:
Today's announcement is part of efforts underway by President Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF) which was created in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes.
OK, if it's President Obama's task force, it's also President Obama's IRS that is letting $5 billion annually go out the door to identity thieves. It's President Obama's IRS that is tormenting innocent Americans for paperwork foot-faults so that President Obama's Justice Department can slap internationa tax criminals on the wrist. Glad that's cleared up.
Mike Ralston, Iowa View: Time to stop a tax hike on all Americans' dividends:
The current federal tax rates on investment income — dividends and long-term capital gains — expire at the end of this year. Today, the top tax rates for both dividends and capital gains are capped at 15 percent. But if Congress and the president don't act to extend them, the top tax rate on capital gains will rise to 20 percent and the top tax rate on dividends will rise to 39.6 percent.
It's worse than that. With the Obamacare tax hikes set to kick in, the actual top rate for dividends will hit 43.4% — nearly tripling the old top rate of 15%.

SALISBURY, N.C.- Brevard College men's lacrosse (2-3, 0-1 SAC) faced off in their first South Atlantic Conference game losing 17-6 while visiting Catawba College (1-3, 1-0 SAC) on March 1st at Shuford Stadium.
Stepping into the second quarter, Brevard trailed Catawba by one goal but BC's Alsharif Blackman quickly found the back of the net after winning the faceoff against Indians Tyler Ulrich. Ryan Taylor grabbed the groundball and passed it back up to Blackman for the quickly executed goal, tying the game 3-3 at the 14:29 mark.
Catawba kept control of the game gaining their largest lead in the fourth quarter when they posted six goals. The Indians John Scheich contributed two of his five goals during the last quarter.
Blair Alexandersen skipped in the first goal of the game during the 9:33 mark of the first quarter after Blackman picked up a groundball from Mathew Dropuljic's deflected shot. Alsharif Blackman led the Tornados with three goals and one assist while Brevard's Mathew Dropuljic added two goals.
Andrew Reilly saved 21 of the 56 shots he was faced with while in goal for the Tornados. This is a new season high for the Delmar, N.Y. native.
Brevard will face the Crusaders of Belmont Abbey on March 5th at 3:30 p.m.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by RS12, Jan 30, 2013.
He seems like an LT to me.
I like Fluker alot. He may not look the smoothest or fastest out there but he's a football player.
Kinda developing into a pet cat, I think
I think his arms are too short for LT but if he could be a LT, that's not a bad problem to have. We could move Smith back to RT, where he played much, much better anyway. Either way, I think we could probably draft Long a little later and get very good value there.
Can we all agree that Fluker, Faulk and even Long are likely upgrades over what is being trotted out there now. Only question is value, where do you get em.
Yes, I think that's a fair thing to say.
Fluker is a less athletic, more assertive Cordy Glenn. And for the record, I'll take that trade off. I really liked Cordy last year because of his position flexibility. I figured at worst, here's a guy that'll be a darn good OG that could bump out to either OT spot in a pinch (or to RT full time if Free struggled).
Fluker doesn't have a high ceiling as a pass protector at OT, but his 37" arms certainly help. With some minor technique tweaks, I think he'd be adequate there. And he could be the game's best run blocking RT. An A+ run blocker and a B- pass protector (where Romo can see the rush anyway). Yes please.
But initially I'd play him at OG, where his run blocking is highlighted and his pass pro concerns diminished. He'd be a Day 1 starter at OG, and a really good one at that. He allows us to release Free, start Parnell, and bump out there if need be.
That's a much better OL (particularly run blocking) than in 2012. And it could only cost a 2nd rounder.
Nut shell at worst pass blocking stays same and run blocking takes huge step forward. I totally agree.
We could really use a massive run blocking tackle or guard on this team. Fluker is ideal. I really liked Glenn last year, but I like Fluker better--because of his strength and assertiveness (as mentioned above)
Cordy Glenn
6056, 345, 5.15 forty
I don't expect Fluker to break 5.5 in the forty.
then we shouldn't ask him to block anyone 40 yards down field??
that's a very weak complaint imho.
in the SEC he proved plenty able to block down field for multiple seasons.
he was a day 1 starter on a great collegiate ol.
dont think nate newton had any speed. many other guys along our ol either. we need guys who can actually block, we have guys who can run pass people and whiff or get driven back into the QB now.
i hope he runs a slow 40 and falls to us in r2 because he projected much higher right now.
anyone who watched the games saw a guy destroy people play after play.
If we're going OL early, this is the type of guy I would want. A G/RT swing who plays guard initially and sticks there for 10 years because he's so dominant or a guy who could replace Free at RT down the road. A potential Alex Boone, Josh Sitton or Marshal Yanda type.
If Lane Johnson isn't there, I'd love to pick him at 18.
Watch Fluker against LSU and Bark or watch him
manhandle Jenkins#6 in the Georgia match. He'll do fine
in the NFL at RT. He'd be an instant Pro Bowler at G.
This guy has great football instincts and I've never seen
a college tackle be as dominant as he is in the running game.
Take him at 18 without a doubt. He'd bring an attitude to
the OL it hasn't seen in a decade.
The forty is a general indicator of quickness/athleticism. I would prefer 10-yard time, but it's not always available.
I just look for the measureables to match what I see in game footage when comparing players. Measureables aren't the end-all-be-all but they can be informative.
Even if Fluker can play RT in the NFL, I would expect him to be much better at OG. If the Cowboys were running a power-man blocking scheme, then I would be in favor of drafting him as a Guard.
Fluker going against Mingo in college is different than Fluker against Mingo in the NFL. NFL defenses are more complex in terms of blitzing, etc.. Also, pass-rushing against Alabama was difficult because defenses had to make stopping the run the top priority. That will not happen consistently in the NFL. There will be games in the NFL where the pass-rushers can just Tee-off on rushing the QB. College defenses rarely, if ever, did that to Alabama.
I see Fluker as a less athletic Leonard Davis. A guy that was a disappointment at OT but dominant as a Guard in a power-man blocking scheme (until the got too fat).
Either way, it's all opinion. It will be fun to come back and revisit this in a year.
great link man, thanks!
what the HECK are some of you watching? This guy was DOMINANT in the SEC...I mean, he isn't perfect but who is? I'd be a tad nervous at 18 but a trade down to 23ish and he could be had plus the extra picks: just a thought.
I understand that Fluker doesn't fit the zone blocking scheme, but the two free agents that Dallas signed last year was not zone blocking linemen. As I said in a previous post, when players such as Warmack, Warford and Fluker don't fit the scheme, the scheme needs to go. I don't care about linemen blocking at the second level when they can't get a push and block at the first level. Dallas tried these small quick linemen and found out that they get no push at the LOS. The lack of size and power is one reason that the Cowboys can't run the ball in the red zone. 290lb linemen just can't get it done IMO.
Give me a line with the likes of Warford, Warmack or Fluker and I'll actually be excited for the next season.
This team is deficient in strength.
I think Livings and Bernadeau were not the Cowboys first choices. The cap penalty, the Carr signing and the 29.77M of dead-money might have caused the Cowboys to just grab some bodies to fill out the roster.

Wittenberg University Hosts Annual German Language Epiphany Service Jan. 6
Springfield, Ohio – Wittenberg University's annual German Language Epiphany Service will take place at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 6, in historic Weaver Chapel. Pre-service music begins at 7:15 p.m.
The service, a campus tradition since 1985, brings the Christmas season to a close. The service is conducted entirely in German and uses a format from a contemporary German Lutheran hymnal. The worship music comprises German Christmas carols and Epiphany hymns with Professor Emerita of Music Trudy Faber playing the organ.
Rev. Stephen Foster, interim pastor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Springfield, will preach and conduct the service. Special music will be provided by the Liedertafel Singers, directed by Keith Ward, as well as pieces played on the organ by Faber.
Wittenberg was founded by a group of pastors of German background who created the English Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Ohio. While respecting their German tradition and language, the pastors believed that the English language was a way to foster the inclusiveness of the new American nation. In 1842, the new synod voted unanimously to establish a theological and literary institution that would serve the educational and cultural needs of new immigrants and new communities, and Wittenberg was founded in Springfield three years later.
The German Language Epiphany Service honors the heritage of those whose vision lives on today at Wittenberg University.
The service is open to the public, and Weaver Chapel is accessible to those with disabilities.

Anatolian Lamb Rub
A complex, rich and balanced blend from the Turkish tradition. Can be used for roasts, quick grills, stews or hot pots. Key notes are allspice, fennel, thyme, garlic, paprika and a few more.
This fiery recipe from Ethiopia and Eritrea is a complex blend of spices and is used in stews (called wats) of meat, vegetable or lentils, and also to coat foods to be fried or grilled. Key spices used are chillies, ginger and cloves, Cumin, allspice, cinnamon, fenugreek and ajowan…among others
Blackened Jerk Rub
A dry seasoning blend which is used primarily in the preparation of grilled meat, with flavors of chiles, thyme, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, garlic and onions. Jerk seasoning can be either rubbed directly onto meat, especially chicken or pork, or blended with a liquid to create a marinade.
Cajun Creole Bayou Blend
Cajun Creole can be used in many ways but one of our favorites is making crawfish. Corn and tomatoes are always a needed for a great crawfish dish. Some call this Cajun smothered corn. You can also use canned whole kernel combined with cream style corn. Another cool recipe is to add an ounce of CCB to a pound of ground beef and fry some Cajun sliders…delicious.
Chaat Masala
Chaat Masala is from India, but is totally unlike curry powder. Sour mango powder (amchoor) and tangy ajwan seeds are the key notes of this complex blend. Sprinkle this spice on warm flatbreads, salads, yogurt dips, and best of all, fresh cut fruit. Prepare to be addicted.
There's a place in Morocco on the beach, and every summer, they are blending various spices to go with the different fishes. This is our blend that will bring you there. Greatest to soak the fish, fry and then indulge…
Chile Powder
Our version of a traditional chili powder but better! Made with freshly ground cumin, Mexican oregano and New Mexico, pulla and/or guajillo chiles.
Coconut Colombo
This French Caribbean curry mix originated from Guadeloupe, and has little to do with curry blends from India. Very similar to Sri Lankan curry powder, it's a versatile way to enhance many dishes that need flavor and heat.
Crazy Chicken Rub
A very versatile spice blend to have in the house, for roast chicken, stews or drumsticks. Mix with flour and deep fry Kentucky style – the list of what you can do with this blend is endless.
Everyday Cajun Rub
The Gumbos and Jambalayas, blackened grey-fish and grilled meats of the Cajun and Creole cooks of Louisiana are all flavoured with this spicy mix. Ingredients: Paprika, pepper, fennel, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, garlic and onions.
Fines Herbes
Fines herbes is a delicately balanced combination of finely flavoured herbs found in French cuisine. They go well in egg dishes like omelets or quiche and insauces and butters. Note though, that if a recipe calls for fresh fine herbs, use only one third of what is called for when using a dried blend.
ORIGIN: France
First Friday Fish
A herb based mix of Dill Pollen, Parsley, Onion, Garlic and green peppercorns, with mustard, lime and other spices, this goes well with steamed or foil-baked fish.

Ambitious GHG Targets for California Drivers
On September 23, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced the adoption of ambitious, though aspirational, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets associated with the total miles traveled by California drivers. This is the latest step in the process of implementing Senate Bill 375, signed by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2008. The significant increase in stringency of the CARB target levels over recommendations made by Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) last May was surprising and although praised by some, has received significant criticism.
The law provides incentives, not mandates, for MPOs to use regional transportation strategies that encourage smart growth. Incentives for MPOs, which meet the GHG targets, can include easier access to federal funding and exemption from certain environmental review requirements. Although called 'precedent setting' by the media, it establishes growth policies considered similar to others that have already been implemented in California, and this law would not have a strong impact without stringent GHG reduction targets. SB 375 required CARB to set the targets, giving it the power to determine how seriously MPOs would have to invest in new development plans if they wish to take advantage of the incentives. Using 2005 as a baseline, the GHG emissions per capita reduction targets set by CARB for 2020 and 2035 were, respectively:
|2020 Target
|2035 Target
|San Diego Area
|Sacramento Region
|Bay Area Region
|Southern California
|San Joaquin Valley (to be revisited in 2012)
|Targets for the remaining six MPOs making up 5 percent of the population match or improve upon their current plans for 2020 and 2035
The targets CARB defined were more ambitious than what the largest MPOs recommended in May. For example, recommendations for the Bay Area were 5 percent per capita for 2020 and 5 percent for 2035 (the same to account for projected population growth, which would make higher targets more difficult to achieve in 2035). Critics complained that these targets were "hijacked" by environmentalists, as CARB did not provide an explanation for the increase.
While more stringent targets are a victory for champions of climate change policy, some Californians have claimed CARB's numbers as irresponsible because MPOs cannot afford to implement the plans needed to meet the targets. Given the state's budget deficit and lingering impacts from the global economic recession in 2008 and 2009, budget crises for transit agencies have resulted in decreased service and increased fares. To combat expected costs, CARB has promised to help seek out more state and federal funding, although CARB member and San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts is pessimistic about their chances. Business groups angrily predict that such funding will have to come from increased transportation taxes such as vehicle miles traveled fees, parking fees, and congestion pricing. Critics (Example 1, Example 2) also cite the prediction by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) of San Francisco that gas would reach a cost of $9.07 per gallon if there were a carbon or 'vehicle miles traveled' (VMT) tax.
CARB could address these concerns by clarifying the rationale for its decision and exposing half-truths propagated by some of its critics. For example, whether or not targets are too ambitious, SB 375 requires CARB to review them regularly and consider revisions based on economic and demographic conditions, as well as actual results achieved. The critics' references to the MTC's $9.07 per gallon gas are disingenuous warnings. The MTC's gas price forecast is actually for 2035, not the immediate future, and the MTC considers a carbon or VMT tax as just one of multiple policy options. Only when this tax is added to the MTC's unlikely forecast of gas prices (a linear extrapolation based on gas prices in 2008, the highest price ever, hitting $7.47 per gallon by 2035) does the cost of one gallon reach $9.07 in 2035. This forecast is significantly different from that of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which, as of 2010, expects a national average of $3.91 per gallon gas in 2035. In addition, sustainable development experts Calthorpe Associates' 'Vision California' study highlights attainable smart growth savings for Californians that would provide a significant boost to the economy. It quantifies savings, potentially achievable through SB 375, at $6,400 per year per household by 2050, among other significant opportunities.
While it is natural to be wary of the ambitious goals, California has previously defied naysayers and achieved ambitious policy goals at lower costs than initially predicted, as happened with Title 24 building energy efficiency standards in 1978. Furthermore, it is worth noting that SB 375 will remain intact no matter the fate of Proposition 23, which seeks to suspend the Global Warming Solutions Act, Assembly Bill 32, in the upcoming elections. By providing incentive-based aggressive targets, MPOs now have greater reason to invest significantly in future transportation and land use plans. With such an investment, Californians can look forward to a more comfortable life with shorter commutes, reduced air pollution, and long-term economic growth.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department responded to a fire in the 9400 block of Haven Avenue, on Thursday morning.
Firefighters located the fire inside the utility closet of a single-story office building. Water and light smoke was pouring from a side door.
A sprinkler had activated and kept the fire contained until firefighters arrived.
The business sustained heavy water damage with flooding throughout the building and firefighters used water vacuums to remove most of the water.
Fire officials credit the sprinkler saving the business hundreds of thousands of dollars in further property damage.


text: 09:30 AM ET 11.04 | Within the past year, the multiyear contract extension the Saints announced for Sean Payton in September 2011 was voided by the NFL, making the suspended head coach a free agent after this season and casting questions on how long he will remain in New Orleans, according to league sources. Payton is expected to become the NFL's most sought-after head coach after this season and there already is speculation in league circles that he could wind up returning to Dallas, where he worked as the assistant head coach from 2003 to 2005, during which time the Cowboys brought in quarterback Tony Romo, who attended the same college, Eastern Illinois, as Payton.

Lenovo Classroom Director
The Lenovo Classroom Director (LCD) solution allows teachers to monitor and control PC computer technology in the classroom while making learning a more interesting and effective process for students.
Computers are powerful tools with the capability to simultaneously empower teachers and distract students. The challenge is to:
- Harness and control the power of PC technology to enable teachers to deliver lessons that combine text, graphics, motion and sound to make learning interesting and effective
- Prevent students from distracting themselves with Internet excursions, email, games, instant messaging and a growing list of other temptations vying for their attention.
- Expand the ability of teachers and administrators to track, measure and improve teaching methods and learning effectiveness.
- Lenovo Classroom Director achieves all of this and much more. The most effective way to evaluate its capabilities and impact is to look at it from the perspective of each of these audiences: Teachers, Students and Administrators.
Lenovo's Classroom Director gives teachers simultaneous, real-time and interactive control of all classroom PCs, or just a single PC for individualized attention. Using "Show" features, teachers can share their screen or a student's screen with all, one or just a few students. This is a feature that is very helpful when walking students through complex lessons or showing the class how one student solved or approached a problem.
Teachers can keep students focused on the subject at hand by monitoring their screen and using other LCD capabilities to limit access to web sites, software and printers. Or, the teacher can blank all screens at any time to gain attention or focus the class in some direction.
The expansive ability to test students gives new meaning and value to the phrase "pop quiz". Along with more traditional testing, teachers can create, store and populate student screens with short progress tests designed to act as chapter quizzes. These tests can provide a series of snap shots to measure the student's understanding and retention of material as it is being delivered.
Valuable for class and individual student measurements, this function also provides teachers with immediate feedback on the success of their teaching methods. This allows them to adjust their methodology or perhaps to segment the class to assist those who may be falling behind. With LCD you don't wait until a student is failing to take remedial action. You can begin to take corrective action at the earliest signs of trouble.
The polling tool can also be both fun and functional. Students will feel that their voices and opinions are important and frequent polling provides teachers with another data point on student interest, attention and enthusiasm.
Simple, icon driven controls make it easy for even the least technical teachers to quickly master LCD and to control and direct the classroom technology.
From the students perspective the LCD tools are the same as those used by the teacher, however the impact on them is very different. For students, the teachers ability to gather information at both the class and individual level, means that students experience fewer prolonged periods of time when they are not processing information and feeling frustrated or left behind. And the personalized screen sharing capability and one-to-one messaging allows students to get individual teacher assistance as needed, but without the stigma of a teacher hovering over their desk for prolonged periods.
So at the same time LCD is providing teachers with classroom control and feedback on both a macro and micro level – for the student it opens a more effective and personalized channel of communication with their teacher.
The primary challenge facing teachers and administrators today is to improve teaching effectiveness. All too often traditional testing and evaluations indicate when a student (and possibly the institution) is failing. LDC provides real-time information that can be translated into educational intelligence which can translate into immediate corrective action. And "failing" students can be supported before they become "failed" students.
Lenovo Classroom Director can also take the micro and macro data accumulated at the classroom level and provide interpretations that Administrator's can use to measure and improve institutional effectiveness. And LCD is very resistant to attempts to disable or disrupt its performance, which is a major plus for Administrators.
Lenovo enriches their product offerings through partnerships with hardware, software and services providers including Intel, Microsoft, Adobe, SAS, VitalSource, LANDesk, Absolute, Targus, and a network of professional development partners.

Queen Anne Park had so much appeal that other areas wished to adjoin it. One such was Hill's Queen Anne Park Addition of 1929, which ran from Seventh to Fifth avenues West. A City Council ordinance ensured that the owners would construct and maintain the streets and sidewalks. Much of that development later became the property of what is now Seattle Pacific University.
As discussed in Part One, there have been ongoing rumors about Queen Anne Park. Neither the plat for Prosch's Queen Anne Addition nor the plat for the Queen Anne Park Addition shows that Queen Anne Park was to become a golf-course community. Nor do we have evidence that the home at 3042 10th Ave. W. was to have become a club house. Perhaps that confusion stemmed from numerous news accounts about the Queen Anne Club (now The Seattle Gym), which was being built at that time.
In the beginning, the house at 3042 10th Ave. W. served as the demonstration model home and office for the Queen Anne Park development. On Nov. 5, 1928, J.L. Grandey purchased the home from his corporation. Today's owners have renovated the home, keeping its original style and beauty.
Leaving a legacy
Queen Anne Park was not intended to be a speculative subdivision. Purchasers were to select their lot and then have a home of their design built on it. There were skilled architects and contractors available to assist with designing and building homes.
The finest materials were used. A mill and cabinet shop were located on the site to turn out exquisite built-ins and woodwork at the best possible prices. The cost of homes began at $5,600 and ran up to $22,000 for George Morford's home at 3219 10th Ave. W.
Grandey was a man ahead of his time. In an era when women were just beginning to come into their own and had recently received the right to vote, Grandey realized that their ideas and opinions were important, especially in the realm of the home. To showcase those ideas and the quality of local materials, he and the Seattle Daily Times teamed up to sponsor the Northwest Model Home Contest. The contest was limited to designs by women and set out to demonstrate that building materials in the Northwest were at least as good, if not superior to, products elsewhere and that a modern Northwest home could be affordable to the average family.
The rules of the contest were for a six-room house on one or two floors. More than 300 entries were received. First prize was $100 in gold; the winner was Katherine H.K. Wolf. The home was built at 836 W. Etruria St. and received much attention, with Mayor-elect Frank E. Edwards breaking the ground.
The home sold in 10 days, so a third model home, designed in a stucco Tudor style by the winner of a Lehigh Cement Co. contest, was soon opened at 816 W. Etruria St.
LeRoy Grandey, who was previously listed as the owner of Queen Anne Park, turned over a significant number of Queen Anne Park properties to F.W. Keen Co. before the Depression and before Keen died of an extended illness in August 1929.
Harry DuBois, assistant secretary-treasurer of F.W. Keen, was let go in 1930. He was given Lots 18 and 19 in Block Three as compensation. His lovely home was demolished about 2000, and two large, modern homes were built on those lots. Keen's son-in-law, George E. Morford, continued at F.W. Keen until at least the mid-1930s.
J.L. Grandey and T.N. Fowler incorporated as Grandey Homebuilders in July 1936 and continued building in Broadmoor and Washington Park. In addition to these areas, Grandey left behind a number of exquisite homes in Winona Park and Queen Anne Park. He was a talented man whose vision enriched many lives. His legacy lives on in the neighborhoods he created.
Changing with the times
Like some other developments of the era, there were restrictive covenants for the Queen Anne Park development, which were to run with the land until Jan. 1, 1958; however, the racial restriction was dropped early on, and it is doubtful if any of the covenants could have been enforced.
Although Queen Anne Park's covenants made it an exclusive community, the streets and sidewalks were given forever for public use and access, so it could not have been private and gated like Broadmoor and the Highlands. The restrictions also required a certain quality of residence and restricted the keeping of animals other than household pets. These covenants are a vestige of a bygone era.
At one point, buses were to run along the lovely curving streets, but fortunately, that did not last. Residents now have access to several bus routes but do not need to deal with bus congestion, noise or pollution.
Initially, there was no mail delivery service to Queen Anne Park; its residents needed to pick up their mail in Ballard.
Queen Anne Park has evolved over the years. Ramblers were built among the elegant Tudor, Colonial Revival and Spanish-style homes. The neighborhood became a happy haven for families with children; then, there were the years of white flight from Seattle Public Schools when there were very few children. Now, there is a racial mix and many lovely families with children. The neighborhood schools are excellent, and there is a lot of parental involvement.
Today, Queen Anne Park remains a beautiful, conveniently located, peaceful neighborhood, close to top-of-the-Hill shopping, yet not far from downtown. Excellent universities, medical facilities and cultural events with nearby public transportation, walkways and bicycle paths make it a terrific place to live.

I can see the problem, as MMA doesn't have a grading system how do you know who is good/bad/ugly, and who out of those good/bad/ugly should be instructors?
WAKO as a large proffessional body want to get involved and need to set some ground rules for MMA coaches to ensure they are the right people for the job. I guess, coz i dont know, that they presumed most MMA fighters will go to more than one MA instructor from list of MT/KB/K/TKD/Judo/JJ/BJJ to cover their whole fight game, and therefore thought you must have a BB in something to instruct.
What are the other options?
MMA has no grading system (yet) and ability is measured by fight/win ratio, so the best guys should be the top fighters.. this isnt often the case, fighters like to fight not teach.. and being a good fighter doesnt mean you will be a good instructor.
If you went down this route, what about those great instructors who are now getting on a bit (like me), who in their days (before MMA) won loads of comps but are not wanting to jump in the cage with some superfit 20 year old to prove they are a great instructor/coach?
On another forum I suggested setting out an MMA syalbus (mainly for the guys I train, to give them some form of progression) but the issue with this is you could end up with a MMA BB who has never fought in a cage or won a fight.. which makes it seem a bit of a retrograde step.
The only other way I can think of ,measuring it, which follows the way things happen anyway, is that the good fighters will naturally find the good instructors, ("when the student is ready the instructor will appear") so you could base it on the number of clubs wins?
The BB in something is a good pointer, but definately not the right answer.
Suggestions on a postcard to WAKO c/o John Higo?

Hi all!
Im fairly new to Vulnerability scanning. Im using Backtrack 5 r2 running on a virtualbox i uninstalled nessus 4 and installed the 5th version.
I tried scanning targets in my local network and found that the scans give incomplete results.
My main pc is a macbook pro running snow leopard, i installed nessus on it and did a self scann it gave me a bunch of critical, high and medium vulns, however when i did the same scan with the Backtrack box i found none of this vulns and found only 5 info and 1 medium.
So i scanned the backtrack box using the nessus scanner inside it and again found a big pile of vulns in int from mysql to some flash and java holes.
My question is: Why scanning targets in the network gives incomplete information whilst scanning the localhost gives the complete info?
How can i configure the scan so that i can obtain info on all my network computers?
BTW the same happens with openvas... Could it be my network configuration? is it a router issue?

The gravestone one is really nice
My brother just got a new camera so I took some pics with it. When he sends them to me i'll upload them.
He got a Canon Rebel XS T1i. I like it alot more than the one he had before. The Canon Rebel E05 XS. Which one do you think would be better for a starter? I like both of them but the new one takes a lot better pictures but is like $500 more.
tripod, manual focus
and for that street pic, i would open the aperature more and have a shorter exposure

Don't use a-dep. It's a waste of time.
The fuck is ADEP?
depends on what your after, for the best picture quality, shoot at the lowest ISO you can, 100 or similar, and f stop depends on what your after also, for long light stars and shit like that use a small fstop but for sharper images with more in focus use higher f stops like 5.6 or 11.
alright fasho. Its freakin hard focusing well at night. I came back with so many blurry ass pictures.
shitty and blurry
me likey
take a torch to shine on whatever your subject is so you can focus, use manual focus dont bother with auto focus in pitch black it's useless.

Luxury goods companies increasingly seem to inhabit a parallel universe.
Many ordinary shopkeepers – at least in the recession-blighted west – are grappling with slumping sales, falling share prices and the threat of bankruptcy.
In the US, in an effort to offset worse than expected post-Thanksgiving trading, many stores caused confusion, according to the New York Times, by bringing forward "Super Saturday" – a day of pre-Christmas discounting – to December 17. In the UK, the bleak outlook for the likes of HMV, Peacocks and Blacks Leisure, is a symptom of what one analyst forecasts will be the worst Christmas for a decade.
Contrast that gloom with the great expectations of the luxury brands. On Wednesday, Mulberry announced it would appoint Bruno Guillon, a director of Hermès, the high-end French company, as its next CEO. He'll lead the UK bagmaker's push into Asia. The group's shares added another 3 per cent, having risen 60 per cent in the past year. Read more

I think with that generation, so many of their hopes have been so dashed that nihilism is really a natural response.
Or better, and to speak like Nietzsche, art with a hammer that practices, and then reverses and reevaluates, nihilism.
Journey to the End of the Night does not offer readers much more than nihilism as a response to a detestable world.
It's arguably the best film of the '90s—a postmodern pop culture smorgasbord awash in nihilism and dripping with retro cool.
To understand better the nihilism of Thiessen's thinking, I must now quote his column at greater length.
The very faults which nihilism seeks to remedy are kept alive by its existence.
A period of reaction has set in: Despotism and nihilism meet face to face.
But his liberalism is not in the least akin to nihilism or Anarchism.
nihilism was not to be rooted out by the removal of any particular set of men.
You prate of stultifying yourself by taking the oath of nihilism, and repudiating your word to Alexander.
1817, "the doctrine of negation" (in reference to religion or morals), from German Nihilismus, from Latin nihil "nothing at all" (see nil), coined by German philosopher Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (1743-1819). In philosophy, an extreme form of skepticism (1836). The political sense was first used by German journalist Joseph von Görres (1776-1848). Turgenev used the Russian form of the word (nigilizm) in "Fathers and Children" (1862) and claimed to have invented it. With a capital N-, it refers to the Russian revolutionary anarchism of the period 1860-1917, supposedly so called because "nothing" that then existed found favor in their eyes.
nihilism ni·hil·ism (nī'ə-lĭz'əm, nē'-)
The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is necessary for future improvement.
A delusion, experienced in some mental disorders, that the world or one's mind, body, or self does not exist.
An approach to philosophy that holds that human life is meaningless and that all religions, laws, moral codes, and political systems are thoroughly empty and false. The term is from the Latin nihil, meaning "nothing."

Results 1 to 1 of 1
Product Review - Pacific Bow Butts, Porta Butt
Pacific Bow Butts is one of the new Target companies that are definately worth looking at. Their targets are made of compression molded straw. This acts as a friction brake to stop the highest kinetic energy bows. The result is a long lasting system that can handle the fastest bows. Pacific Bow Butts are also biodegradable and therefore environmentally friendly.
We recently tested the Porta Butt target. The targets produced by Pacific Bow Butts are quality targets. This is not a cheap light weight target. This "portable" target is 70 pounds and very durable. We shot arrows of every size imaginable into the Porta Butt target. The arrows did not sag even after countless arrows shot into the same area. One of my concerns was pass throughs. So we purposely put the target at close range and continually hammered a quarter size spot. We used many arrows with saunders combo pounds which should produce a lot of penetration on this type of target. We also switched between large diameter arrows and very small diameter carbons. The result, not a single pass through. We didn't even get one arrow up to the fletching.
Overall, we feel this is a very good target and should last for many, many shots. Pacific Bow Butts estimates 50,000 shot or more and we believe it. They also state that using broadheads on the target will make it last even longer. We did not test this target with broadheads. The only issue we see is you can only shoot two sides because of the bands that wrap the target and hold it together. If the target lasts for 50,000 shots, then it isn't really and issue is it. Whether you need a personal target or targets for your range, Pacific Bow Butts are definitely worth a look. Click the link to learn more about Pacific Bow Butts
As we get closer to the hunting season, we will be shooting some broadheads into this target and will let everyone know the results. I expect it will be just as good as the field points. Stay tuned.

Add your story…
These images are digitized from NARA microfilm publication M666 which reproduced unbound letters, with their enclosures, that were received by the Adjutant General during the period 1871-80. They are a part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office.
The information below is taken directly from the descriptive pamphlet (DP) published by the National Archives (NARA). It can be viewed or downloaded from this link.
On June 16, 1775, the Continental Congress resolved that there should be an Adjutant General of the Continental Army and on the folloving day selected Horatio Gates for the position. Although there have been numerous organizational and functional changes and some variations in rank and title, an Adjutant General has been continuously in office since that date.
During the l870's the Adjutant General's Department was the department of records, orders, and correspondence of the Army and the militia. Its major duties Included recording, authenticating, and communicating to troops and individuals in the military service all orders, instructions, and regulations issued by the Secretary of War; preparing and distributing commissions and military decorations; managing the recruiting service; and consolidating the general returns of the Army.
Document types
The letters and enclosures in this collection were received from officers and enlisted men of the Army, the Secretary of War, the President, officials of other Government departments, Members of Congress, Governors of States and Territories, private persons, and business firms. They relate to such topics as the appointment, recruitment, transfer, pay, promotion, leave, discharge, and other personnel actions affecting officers and enlisted men of the Army; orders, regulations, and other issuances of the War Department; military expeditions and campaigns; military installations and organizations; and Indian affairs. The letters encompass the years from 1871 to 1880 and are part of the largest series of letters received by the Adjutant General's Office. The entire series extends from 1822 to 1889.
Using the records
According to the recordkeeping practice of the time, letters received were entered in registers, generally in chronological order by date of receipt, and numbered consecutively within each year. The letters are arranged to correspond with the arrangement of the numbered entries in the registers. The letters received are endorsed on the back or on a separate cover sheet with the name of the writer, the date of writing, the place of writing, the purport of the contents, the date received, and the file number assigned in the register. The file designation consists of the number assigned to the letter, the symbol "AGO," and the year the letter was received.
Because the letters were numbered and entered in the registers according to the dates of receipt rather than the dates of writing, and because there often was a considerable lapse of time between the date of writing and the receipt of a letter in the Adjutant General's Office, there is some overlapping of dates covered by the registers. This overlapping is reflected in the filing arrangement of the letters.
Some of the letters bear file citations other than those of the Adjutant General's Office. These citations indicate that at one time or another the letters had been filed in some other office. Occasionally drafts of orders, replies to letters received, and related working papers were filed with the letters received to which they relate. There are other variations in the arrangement pattern. (1) Some years after the original filing of these letters the Adjutant General's Office attempted to bring together files relating to certain subjects, which resulted in "consolidated files." For the 1871-80 period, these "consolidations" generally varied in quantity from a few to several thousand papers. Cross-reference slips appear throughout the file and indicate the file number under which the letters were consolidated. Following these introductory remarks is a list of 102 of the more significant consolidations and large files and of the rolls on which they have been reproduced. (2) The annual reports of War Department bureaus and geographical commands are filed together at the end of the letters for each year. After the list of consolidations mentioned in (1) above is a list of annual reports for the same period arranged by year and showing the numbers of the rolls of microfilm on which the reports have been reproduced. (3) In some instances errors were made by clerks when the letters were entered in the registers; sometimes registry numbers were omitted and at other times numbers were repeated. When the numbers were repeated, the Adjutant General's Office added "1/2" to the number of the second letter to distinguish it from the first one bearing the same number. Where this has not been done, the National Archives has added, in brackets, "No. 1" and "No. 2" to the file designation.
Some of the documents originally filed in this series are no longer in the series, others are incomplete, and some enclosures have been separated from their transmittal letters. Some of the registered communications were referred to other offices or agencies and eventually became incorporated in the files of those agencies. Others were removed and filed in different series of records of the Adjutant General's Office. Removals frequently were documented by means of cross-references. Some of the cross-reference slips give the name of the writer, the file number, the date of transfer, and the name of the office to which the records were transferred. Others simply give the file number and the name of the office or person to whom the records were transferred. Where a cross-reference slip or the register of letters received indicates a document was transferred to another series of records in the Adjutant General's Office or to another office, the National Archives has not searched the records in these series to locate the letter entered in the register.
Sometimes the Adjutant General's Office inserted a cross-reference slip bearing one of several special stamps to denote the removal of records, (1) A stamp signifying "To JAG, June 6, 1894," was used to document the transfer to the Judge Advocate General's Office of papers relating to the acquisition or sale of military reservations or public lands under the jurisdiction of the War Department. (2) A stamp stating "Insane Soldier; Papers to Regimental Records Division for file with personal papers; G. W. Pratt," was placed on the cross-reference slip whenever papers were removed relating to insane enlisted men of volunteer units of the Union Army. Many of these papers are now with the Union Army compiled service records. (3) A stamp reading "With records 'Provost Fund' Archives Div., R. & P.0., Feb. 24, [19] 04," was used to denote the transfer to the Records and Pension Office of records relating to the provost fund, which was composed of unexpended balances in the hands of provost marshals at the end of the Civil War and disbursed for various purposes under the order of the Secretary of War. The records that were transferred were added either to a series of letters received or to a series of vouchers relating to the fund. Both series form part of a group of records collectively known as the "Provost Fund Records."
In the same record group are other related records. Available on microfilm are Letters Sent by the Office of the Adjutant General (Main Series), 1800-90 (M565); Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General, 1805-21 (M566); Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General (Main Series), 1822-60 (M567); Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General (Main Series), 1861-70 (M6l9); Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General (Main Series), 1881-89 (M689); Registers of Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General (Main Series), 1812-89 (M711); and Indexes to Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General (Main Series), 1846, 1861-89 (MJ25).
These images are digitized from 593 rolls of NARA microfilm publication M666, Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General, Main Series, 1871-1880.
A selected list of consolidated files and files with enclosures (and rolls on which they are located), a list of annual reports (and rolls on which they are located), plus a list of the year and range of documents on each roll of film, is available in the descriptive pamphlet (DP) published by NARA. The DP for M666 can be viewed or downloaded here.

Lamar Odom rejects rehab
One of the summer's biggest sagas has been the revelation that Lamar Odom is addicted to crack cocaine. And now sources close tot he NBA player and Kardashian in-law, say that he is determined to sober up…. without rehab!
Sources connected to the troubled baller tell TMZ that Lamar believes in what he calls "self-healing" and says he has the willpower to kick his drug habit on his own.
Lamar says he's done it successfully before and is convinced he can do it again. Step one of the process is that he is telling people he is removing certain "friends" from his life so he doesn't relapse.
While he thinks that he can do it on his own, Lamar says he's open to getting professional help, but only in private and not in a rehab facility. He has not yet committed to getting such help.
Lamar's biggest motivation for getting sober isn't his rocky marriage, but it's actually his NBA career. Lamar is very mindful of the fact that training camp has just started. Although he wants to save his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, our sources say his motivation for sobriety seems to be more focused on his basketball career. Lamar believes once he's achieved a level of sobriety, he can re-join a team.
