All orders will receive prompt attention. ^Friends and Fellow Citizens: Ninety-one years ago this very day the Anglo American colonies, acting through their delegates to the Congress at Philadelphia, formally renounced their allegiance to the British Crown and declared their independence. There is one very interesting circumstance connected with that declaration vW_i_h has just been read in your hearing, which I wish to notice. When that-Decxara-ioh of -Independence was adopted there was such a depth of 'principle required among thosa who •signed it as to b_ -ready to seal their .ailachihent with their blood. $ohn 'Hancock supposed that his conspicuous name might -make him distinguished among thoSe who 'might) perish on the scaffold, and in full viewj of such a possible result, they pledged to each other their " lives, their fortunes, and thejir ^sacred honor." The sentiments of all those men are well known, and the language eloquently attributed to one of them (John Adams) will .express the feelings, of patriotism, founded on .principle, which actuated them : " I see, -I see clearly, through' this day's business. You and I indeed' may rue it. We may not live to the time' when this declaration shall be made good. We may die ; die colonists-; die slaves. Die, it mayTtfe, igho-1 miniously on the scaffold. Be it so. Be it so. If it be the pleasure of Heaven that my country shall require the, poor offering of my life, the victim shall be ready at the appointed hour of sacrifice, come when that hour may. But whatever may be our fate," be assured, be , assured ttot -thj&-declaration will S-arid. It may cost treasure, and it may cost blood, but it will stand and| will richly compensate us for both. Through -the- i__iak_.gk>a_o, of. the present, *t ~_e the brightness of the future .a^jthe sun in heaven. My judgment approves of-this measure a«d my whole, heart is in it. All that I ha??,-, and all; that I am, and all that I hope in this life, I am now ready here to stake on it, and live or die;. survive 'i)r perish, I am for the declaration." Such was the< feeling and the principle which animated those men on tin occasion the most' noble that the earth has ever witnessed ;, and we, are assembled, fellow citizens, to commemorate the anniversary of that great day, and the utterance of that momentous declaration. The hand that penned its mighty sentences^ - and the tongue which, with an eloquence that swept all before it, sustained it on the floor of Congress, ceased from among the living at the end of half a century, on the same day,»al_aos_ at'the same hour, forty-one years ago. The last survivor of the signers closed his venerable career six years later, and of the generation sufficiently advanced, in life to take part in public affairs on the 4th of July, 1*17$, not one probably survives to hail this ninety-first anni-! sersary. They are gqne, but their work -.Swnains. It has growhin interest with the lapse of years, begitfhing already to add to its intrinsic importance those titles of respect which time confers on great events and memorable eras, a_ it hangs its ivy and plants its inosses on the solid structures of the past, and we have come together to bear our testimony to the Day, the Deed and the Men. And, as if to consecrate this day forever, some of the most important events in our history, in the Providence \oi. A-lmjghty. God, ifaye sign,ah_ed it. Thus, as we have already remarked, on the 50th anniversary of this, great national jubilee, died John Adams, aged ninety-one years,' and Thomas Jefferson, aged eighty-three years—the two most prominent signers of the Declaration of Independence. After they had accomplished all the .great objects of their lives, and crowned with honor and glory, and with mature years, at the very time that they had desired, on the 4th of July, 1826, in the very hour of public rejoicing, while their own names were on all tongues, and while the sound of a nation's joy—rushing from our cities, ringing from our valleys and echoing from ourhil-ls-=-was breaking on our ears, the freed spirits of John Adams and Thomas Jeffersoji took their flight together, and ascended to the Cod who gave them. It is no less remarkable, that one of the most signal deliverances of -this war shouM have occurred on the anniversary of our independence. I refer to the battle of Gettysburg, fough. four years ago to-day. That was the crisis battle in that great conflict. The re- be-Hon then received a blow from which it never recovered. Our now martyred President acknowledged the four first days of that month the darkest, gloomiest period of his life. It may be profitable to consider for one moment the relation of things as they tbea existed. At Chancellorville, the Army of the Po_tomag|130,000 strong, under Hooker, was driven back, beaten, disgraced, demoralized by rage and shame, by the rebel army 49,000 strong, under Leo. Then Lee waited till 30,000 men or more were added to his force, and 30,- 000 taken from his enemy and he marched northward. He marcK-d northward in utter contempt, and almost total disregard .of the General whom he had beaten so easily, in g^n- 'eralship and on the field, when thair relative strength was almost reversed— 'inarched northward when he fouad that a drunken opponent, who ougit instantly to have been officially tb- rhOved after the retreat across the Rappahannock, was left in command odf the only force that could oppose hj_ hattgh^j' 'rirogress.—marched northwarti. arhundred and fifty miles, to worry.t_ffi free States, to revel ih their June pastures, to show the world that the seat of war was where a rebel pleased, an* that it was the Union, artdf*trot'the re* bellion that was trembling for its l_fe. Did Washington tremble ? It. had never done anything else whe*& xiSi has. turned his field glass toward the" horizon beneath which it lay. But thjs time it had some reason to tremble. Only the Sunday before 2,000 reb* cavalry w§i e hovering about it, and had they been a little more .daring, or a i-itile more accidentally successful, would have camped in the grounds of the White House and the Capitol. But Lee had other Work to be done first Did he mean to take Washington, of ©altimore, or Philadelphia ? He meant: to take any and everything he could if we permitted it. Why 'not ? The rebels were in earnest; they meant to establish their confederacy and they went to their work like men. Of course he would take Washington, if he could, dictate peace on his own terms at the Capitol, send Mr. Lincoln and Mr. S_w"- ard, and anybody else he thought worth the trouble, to Fort Lafayette, and caU in the house cleaners and whitewashed to make ready the White House for Mrs/ Davis. Of course Baltimore, Phil/ adelphia, New York are worth taking if they could he had. And why should not all this be done? The Army or the Potomac waa ih the way, but then its commander .was a man who haij pitifully thrown away his title to confidence^ Lee indeed had to be caw tious, for that army was composed of ninety thousand freemen whom even a Hooker's wine glass could not bewitch from fighting when their northern soil was under the feet of the invader. But. confident in his own resources, bold in" a bad cause, haughty in his contempt for his opponent-, fearful of a brave army which he had always beaten under generals never fit to lead it, Lee marched northward, meaning once m'ore to brush that aside, which had never hindered him, and go on his triumphal way to the establishment of the slave power. And how did the North receive him ? For the most part in despair. Let us not disguise this fact. Pennsylvania is not all copperheads; as; her subsequent elections fully, attest-;; there are :many thousand loyal men witliiin'.h.-* bonders. In what spirit did they meet the invasion ? The apathy' which we know pervaded her1 people, was not, could not, all be disloyalty. What was it ? They said: " Let him corflte. We have given to the government our sons, our fortunes, our faith and our labors—enough to have saved us over and over again- Let us see whethej! an invasion will so change the- situation that it is worth while to continue the struggle, except under new auspices and in new relations." There; is no other way to account for thes apathy with which Lee's approach was greeted; and if it be true, consider its moment. If it be true, the victory at Gettyshurg was hot merely a battle' gained, but a cause saved—the cause of free government, free men, eivijization, the Christianity of this country—all that we were struggling for-^sa'ted at last on that day, from such a loss as would compel us- to do the work over again—the hardest thing man ever has to do. And on how small an issue seemingly (did such great events depend. The general who ought to have been relieved two months before,'a_id. whose successor \y_uld never have -per-; mitted Lee to make that march of a hundred ajid fifty miles down the Shenandoah -Valley, was -taken away from the head of Ms troeps- atipreeise- ly the moment when ■ &uch a step was most critical and might prove most dangerous. Was it human wisdom or an overruling Providence that for'eor-i dained and foresaw ? Lee had ventured where his line of retreat to the mountains could not be easily regained if disaster overtook him, but he trusted, in an over-drinker of wine. But suddenly it was Meade, and not Hooker, who was at the head of the army and who inspired the brave soldiers with his own energy and will. Courage they had enough of, and have never shown the want of it. But mere hard fighting without a head to direct never wins campaigns. The army of the Potomac at last, by official accident, had got a head. The rash rebel is caught where his over confidence in the cdunsels that have governed the war oh our side had literally betrayed him; the manlit- ness> the higher courage, the greater endurance, the better cause of the North are asserted and made manifest over the lower caste of men that Southern slaveholding breeds. The merely material results of this eyent were of immense importanceiid their relations to the South. But their moral influences upon the North were immensely more important. Despair of the successful prosecution of the war from that: moment was over-. From that moment we never despaired of the Republic,- except when contemplating the possibility that McClellan might be elected President; and in that one steiggle the Noy.tii .learned more of its own strength, of its better character, of its better men, of the certainty of success if it chooses, and of the measures necessary to that success than in all the events that have gone before it.': And while all, this was being done, Grant and Sherman, with the grand army of the -Northwest; storme"d the battlements of Vicksburg, planted our flag upon the heights where the rebel flag had floated; and amid rejoicings Lwild and-loud, marched a procession through the principal • streets of the rebel stronghold to the glorious tune of Yankee Doodle, Thus,. on the 4th hf Jiily, 1863, the'fate of the Arhry _f the East and of the Army of the West, and of the war itself was decided. The clouds broke from our political horoscope, and to-day we meet to celebrate' the 4th of July, 17T6-, which established, and the 4th of July, 1863, whie_.*pre- served to us and perpetuated our independence, power and glory as a people. We celebrate the 4th of July, 1776, because then commenced the great experiment whether man is capable of 'self-government. I believe that we have the best constitution and the best mode of government in the world, and' that it is the most "wicked of ate acts that man can do at home, and the most wicked'_f 8_1 'things that nations can countenance-abroad, to attempt to destroy that constitution ahd to overthrow that government We have the whole principle'(^.tha^governrnent.ja the idea that ate.,,jj_>wer oiagih_H)_- from the will of the people; that eacfcrferiSf- zen shall have His equal share' in the burdens-and the priveleges of the government ; that, however men may dif- rer from eacli, other ih any of the elements of hunlan character, ihey are all BqUal before the laws;' that, so far as Civil rights are concerned, each man is nat^superior or inferior to any other man, and is equally bound with every other man to exercise bis powers, his vigilante, designing wisdom and efficiency, in the eternal duty of guiding, preserving and protecting the state, and that i-h all eases the will of the n_a- jority, and not of any favored few, but ofallthe people, shs^ll be the law of the land. Now it is this individual and universal equality which is to save, not destroy, ouf1'Country. Some good men have feared that the approach to universal suffrage might destroy the nation; whereas it is the safety, of .the nation ; It is the great elevator of $ti& niasses, it moulds' the character of the citizens,.produces a superior: nationality, and has exhibjuted. itself in sublime Jesuits, upon the. fntefiigence, physical prosperity,-and glory of the AirieTlcari pfeopJe. It leads■■■__> -the education of the masses' by giving to every man the right to vote, and opening the avenues - of office to the highest and lowest alike. Every boy imbibes the genius of ouf frejfe-nstHutiO-is. Thus the poorfriend- less rail:0plitter; t rises to the highest pinnacle* of human power and greatness. The poor tailor boy becomes ah'fl now is our President; the ferry boy the chief justice of the supreme court; ahS the-hnmble tanner boy the great commander who marshals a million of veteran warriors in _he great cause of universal liberty, and holds out the' flaming symbol of emancipation to a whole race of mankind. It elevates labor and assigns to it the nobility which God gave it, and holds out to it the highest stimulus, honors and emoluments. I have not the time to trace th«0^°hderful contrasts between the re^pedtability of labor in xthis country and in those countries of Europe, and in the slave States of our own Bind, where proud and pampered aristoemts looked down upon the vocation of labor as a menial one, and despised the sun burned brow and soiled hands of "small fisted farniers," and "greasy mechanics." Suffice it to say, that in all our free Northern States, labor, whether of the head or the hands, is hohorable; and .that our health and" prosperity spring from-the strong right: arms of our farmers and mechanics, and the moral and intellectual advancement of our cause; and 1while I can highly esteem the glories which my country has achieved in necessary afra self-defensive war, and regard with pride the battle fields which have shed such imperishable lustre' upon Ameri-' can prowess, yet I trust that the future glories of the country shall be those of peace, of free labor, of commerce, of agriculture, of the arts, of religion; when our heroes shall be those of in- dustey j-when upon our prairies lahor, in every county, shall have her fairs and festive days, and the wild wood shall ring with her notes of lofty cheer; and when in processions, in fraternal companionship -with the- stars and Stripes-, another banner shall be borne, and on that other banner be inscribed two golden words, " Liberty and Free Labor." Slavery was always dependent, short witted, too insolent to labor; she never ,learned the use of a.tool, and hung upon keen-witted, hard-toiling Plymouth Rock for every product of skilled labor; A frank Carolinian made the better confession: " In infancy we are swaddled in Northern muslin, and humored with Northern toys; in youth we are instructed out of Northern school books ; in the deoline of life we remedy our eyesight with Northern spectacles, and support our infirmities .with Northern canes. When we die our in- animated' bodies shrouded in Northern- cambric, are borne to the grave in a Northern carriage, entombed with a Nsirthern spade, and memorized with a jSorthern slab." He might have added 5iat'Northern magnanimity^ would-yet plant over the g_ave of this ungodly rebellion one of its own purest marbles, and inscribe thereon, "Died.by the visitation of God and the blows of Christian democracy." » The present period of our nafciftnal history is marked by suah gjj-jvfc events, by such antagonisms of opinion' ia.high -p.a_tes, and by such prominence of individual men, that we are more than ever liable to forget the I eal source of the national life and power, and to judge shallowly and mistakenly of its development and phenbmenen. We say, that if this or that policy should be pursued, if this or that man succeed, if this or that :party prevail, if that measure is carried, then shall we have unity; peace and prosperity, or the opposite of those; whereas these are not dependent upon any man, or measure, or party or policy. They must come and come to stay as the product of permanent forces, starting into the material heart, as the product of an inspiring, moving, governing, conservative-power, whose fountain head is among those affections which are highest and nearest heaven. Ambitious men, and interested selfish parties, and brute force, may for a time-pervert' the legitiiha-te uses of this power» but it is certain, if it save itself from perversion, to overcome all these, and carry its quality into every act. and event that goes to make up national history. Our government is peculiar and complete. Its two great characterizing features are sovereignty of individual States and the sovereignty of the nation over those States-—the ittdepend- ence' of local' interest, and the nationality of Jbhem all, confederated under one governments This government, when we look at it in comparison with any other government ;i<3»-' the face of the earth, and judge it by the things it has been called to do and to suffer, affords us occasion for- admiration and gratitude- No other nation has «ver ad-; vanced so rapidly, 'or 'deVe'ltffied such resources in the same period of time. N6t Egypt, not Assyria, not Babylon, not Persia under Cyrus and his succes- ors, not Greece,' not Rome, not Germany, Gaul, 'or _iritaih: ■ Britain—it Hfras lonj» and slow from the time of the Druids, from the time of Alfred, from 'the time of William the Red-haired, before the resources of the little Island were in any measuse developed—more thaii a thousand years -from the time of Alfred, i And if you ask me why is this 1 let me turn upon you a Yankee trick, and ask, where have you ever found a government that was made up so completely as this has been -. of the people themselves ? In that great pine tree that stands on the top. of the mountain; that defies the seasons; that sings its harsh and wie.d melody through all the blasts of winter and the storms of summer,.and that the year round holds out its branches undepopulated and evergreen—in that'tree there is not one single fibre, from the. root to the highest twig, that does not go to make' up the tree, and that does not minister to its strength, by which -it resists the tempests of' wiate-" and the hurricanes of summer. And bed. in this government there is not one single man that is not a fibre that makes it stiff in trunk and strong in every branch. And ifc- is the vital connection. between the whole -people as represented in thej states and in the nation, that gives to this government a power such as no other nation ever possessed. There are some, I suppose, who are honest in the belief that the nation is to be saved by party polities. W$ judge thus by the resolutions passed at their conventions ana the tenor of their speeches ahd newspapem We hear not unfre- quently of assemblies of 'leading politicians in Washington or New York which seem to be devoted to the business of saving the nation—in this way.. One would imagine from the airs they put on, that the. life of the nation was in tlieir hands, or that it had no life independent"; of party politics. We have a great crisi?, as you know, on the occasion of every national election, on which the national- salvation is understood to depend on the triumph of—all parties. First and last all parties have succeeded, and first and last all partiej have been defeated, and still the nation lives; and it has manifested more genuine vitality, with- a third of 'its subjects ih rebellion, than; it ever did while all were united. The idea of putting a living, intelligent, powerful nation into the keeping, into the conservative embrace^ of: a, few. lean party men,- the majority of whom are working for power or -pay, is .just as ridiculous as Bhe thought'of a great army— whose strength is- in itself-aif it is anywhere—consenting to be led by a band of ep,mp followers and suttfers who had volunteered to save it from destruction. No nation ever conserved its life by gr through a policy. A policy ■ may modify the issues of national life sdme- what, and have a reactionary, effect upon the life itself, but a mere policy has rib life in it to bestow upon anything. Most nations live, indeed most have lived, in spite of the policy imposed upon, and when they died they died, not as the result of 'policy, but of corruption and rottenness among the people. The nation carries its salvation in its own strong heart,.and not in the pocket of any party, i That /which gives me most apprehension for the future of my country, is the fact that the management of its affairs are in the hands of designing politicians, and are likely to be. Theoretically, we are .a self governing nation ; practically, we are governed by designing politicians. I suppose if I were to give utterance to my wishes and my aspirations touching the future of my country, I should be called Utopian. But that which is possible, and that which is desirable on every christian and pateiotic consideration, is not Utopian, and I should be forever ashamed of being scased by ttie taunt. This country is.te be saved to freedom and happines and justice, if saved at all, by the Christian patriotism' of its people,' and by the Institution in the place at party machinery managed by unprincipled men, bf some system of popular patriotism that shall place good men in power-^-and bad men rft prison, where they belongi' it feeasy for tirese politicians to sne-f^-easy to s_y';that this is all impraeticable-sthat tB_ ipebple cannot possibly prevent-them from pulling .the w_re~---and that, moreover, they will continue to "use the'-pcioplc for their own selfish ends, and use them with their .consent. I say it is not impracticable, because it is in the line of -christian and patriotic duty, and is not impossible. I say that this change must be made, or we must, as a nation, be forever going through finamcdal. rey- olutions, social convulsions, destructive wars, and all that terrible catalogue of national calamities! i which attend the management of a nation for. se_fis£ Cruls. The christian and patriotic men of this nation- must rise under Christian • and patriotic leaders, whom they shall choos_,: and depose the hi f'ernal creW of political buzzards, or we must, as a nation-, drift along in a state of constant social warfare, It_ .aria kt last in anarchy. The present century has witnessed a steady decline in the character of our public men. Where shining ability and high-minded patriotism were .once ♦be rale, they have cbfhe to be 'tlkte'ff- ception. To the iJeffersotts, the Adamses and the Clays, has succeeded a race of jobbers and hack politicians. Such are the results of this deplorable system of quadrenial rotation in office, This has" made us, with all our prosper- ity( 'otir __Sp_d growth, .pnd, extended commerce, a i byword and w_u~$eT&j-g among the nations. Since the throne of the worjd was sold at auction to the highest bidder, there has been nothing in its way so base as American politics, So diirfidralizing, so disorganizing, is the . tendency of this systc^rY, that even the rupture of the Uhio-f,"__i the prospect of which we naVe been so distressed) could bring us nothing worse than our chosen and established methods werfc all these years preparing for us. A0 this, rirnst ..be.Tefprmed, or we slide to inevitable ruin, from which our ample territory ' and vast material resources -alone have saved us. Venturing here rio- further into an attractive field of public truth, let me turn your attention to another subject which has been before, the public mind. I refer to, our relations with other na; tions. We have desired sincerely W> be at peace with all the nations of the old world. We have been disposed to make equal and just treaties with them in regard to commerce. We have • sought to take no improper advantage of them. We have been willing to visit with them every distant sea, and every distant part, and to share with them in the fair avails of commerce. We have impressed hone of their seamen into our service. We have made no wars on their peaceful pursuits. We haVe never intermeddled with their affairs, but have aimed to stand) hot bnerely professedly, but really aloof from all the conflicts they have waged among themselves : to maintain not a hollow arid hypocritical, but a real neutrality in regard to the wars, right or wrong, in which they have been engaged. In aij these respects we look with special pleasure and approbation on our trea^- . ment of the land of our fathers. England has been dear to us. There are the graves of the ancesters of our Cajf- vers, our Brewsters, our Hancocks, and. of our Adamses—of our Henrys and our Pinckneys—of Washington. Its language is ours; its religion is ours; its history is ours. We delight to think: that "Milton and Shakespeare, and Newton, "and Bacon, are more theirs than ours. We visit that, land with emotions such as we can have towards no other land—save Palestine; and in Westminister .Abbey we sit dowrrahot weep, for there we " ^ure surrounded T>y tn« monuments, and tread on the graves, of the illustrious dead whose names and works have been familiar to :Us from our cradles. We have Ebt been unwilling to bear much from England,, and to forget all the past when we could show to her^respect and. affection. And we stood a great deal from her. At her demand we surrendered Mason and Slidell—the greatest national degradation, in my judgment, to which this nation ever submitted from any foreign power. Her govern- ' ing classes have sympathized and feasted the rebels they have found jab London. They have built, armed, eiquipjii-d and manned British cruisers to prey upon our commerce,, They have all * the time prayed for and predietedo\Sr defeat, and in our darkest hours ffiavfe given encouragement to the enemy ; and we have uncomplainingly submitted to all these things; but. I would like to inquire just now into a littl_ matter between them and the South, and with this let all past difficulties be forgotten.

A week or so ago, The Wall Street Journal had an article about a Roll Call on popular sports (see Saturday/Sunday June 9-10). "Governments around the world spend millions to get their citizens off the couch and onto the sports field." Companies work hard to make sports equipment to tantalize people to get going. A report from the National Sporting Goods Association shows that the percentage of participants seven years of age and older participated more in hiking than tennis, soccer, baseball, golf and basketball. So now you know why our Romantic Mountaintop Hiking Resort is such a hit. In 2011 more than 40,000,000 participated in hiking!
So we had such fun when one of our couples (from Florida) decided to take a hike that no one has thought about taking. They left The Swag on the Cataloochee Divide trail, down Double Gap Trail to Caldwell Fork, up past The Big Trees to Rough Fork and Paul's Gap and back home to The Swag. When Dan and I saw them coming home by way of the vegetable garden, they said the hike was just "four miles longer than they would have liked." However, they said it was beautiful.
Last weekend Charles Maynard and a group hiked two excellent hikes. One from The Swag to Cove Creek Gap and back past Taylor's Turnaround and then up via The Purchase, Ferguson's Cabin and home.
The next day they drove down into Cataloochee and walked the beautiful gravel road trail to Little Cataloochee Church. This has always been one of my favorites. I have taken people there to see the dates on tombstones of little children lost to illnesses we no longer fear.Of course each night we heard another story from Charles — some of his "Jack Tales" and some of just fun stories like his adventures in elementary school and Old Cy, the school janitor. Those of you who have been here for Charles' stories, remember the fire drill and "stop, drop and roll."
FYI, Janice, his wife, has hit the big time with her romance novels. Charles continues to write and put together new facts for new books. Each evening, before hors d'oeuvres, he met us in the Chestnut Lodge to tell us bits from new books he will write. One was about the Conqistadores who trod these trails long before the Cherokees did. We learned that man has been in these oldest of mountains for at least 12,000 years. Charles's remarable coffee table book, The Blue Ridge, has fabulous photography and delves into the history of these remarkable mountains and their people.
Charles enthralled us with an account of D.R. Beeson and C. Hodge Mathes's exploration of our great mountains before they had been really discovered by those who put in the trails, roads, and cut down some of our most beautiful trees. (See In the Spirit of Adventure, A 1914 Smoky Mountain Hiking Journal, written by D.R. Beeson.)
Another fantastic afternoon, Charles told us of Horace Kephart's instrumental role in the creation of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Libby Kephart Hargrave will be with us for a book signing October 2 and 3. She is Horace's great-granddaughter. In 2009 she authored the foreward to his novel, Smoky Mountain Magic. The manuscript for this was not discovered until fairly recently and is a real page-turner.
HAPPY 95th BIRTHDAY NANCY TANNER
Also last week we had the honor of helping Nancy Tanner celebrate her 95th birthday. Her family came from all over the country. Those of you who go "way back" with us remember that Nancy's late husband was Dr. Jim Tanner. He was a professor of ornithology @ The University of Tennessee, and one of our first Special Events leaders. He was the foremost authority on the Ivory Billed Woodpecker. Nancy has co-authored a book about this extinct bird and is the only living person to have seen it.
A fun bit of incidental information. A guest finally told us what he did for a living. We had been curious, because he had teased us about it. He farms alligators and currently has 25,000 gators! Guess what he does with them? He sells them to Hermes! They turned out to be such a delightful couple. They were one of our big hikers.
This week we have Bill Harley here with us. A two time Grammy winner, and gifted songwriter as well as story-teller, he has enthralled a full house @ The Swag with hilarious tales. To know more about Bill and his many talents — especially with school kids — look him up at www.billharley.com.
Hot off the Press: Bob and Louise Collier have had a change of plans and are going to be here for the week of July Fourth, getting here on Sunday night for "birding on the lawn" on Monday morning. There is nothing like a stroll in the Park or on The Swag trails with Bob and Louise.
The Hill Country Band here from 5:00 – 7:30 in the Dog Trot.
We will have the ever-popular Lawn Games: Egg Toss, Egg Race with a spoon, Sack Race, Tug-of-War
6:00-7:00 hors d'oeuvres.
7:00 Prayers for our Country, songs around the flagpole and Pledge of Allegiance.
7:15 Chef Keith Davis has gone all-out with his very popular grill menu: Ahi Tuna, Grilled Chicken, Slow-Roasted Baby Back Ribs, Beef Tenderloin, wonderful Caprese Salad, Corn on the Cob, Asparagus, Deviled Eggs, and the fabulous assortment of desserts by Linda Duckett.
We will have the maestro of the keyboard, Dan, playing the player piano with a selection of our favorites, as well as such specials as You're a Grand Old Flag, etc.
At 9:30 we will gather on the Swag steps to see Lake Junaluska's stellar fireworks. (far from the maddening throng, we will wave our own sparklers and thrill to the spectacular fireworks).

L'Wren Scott Resort 2013
It's no surprise that for her first ever resort collection, L'Wren Scott wanted to have a little fun. "It's happy," she said. "It's how resort used to be." In that giddy mood, nearly all her feel-good clothes were done in nine cheeky prints that Scott designed and showed worn head-to-toe, that is, from her off-kilter officer caps right down to her bow-tied heels. One sundress in chartreuse and sky blue fluttered with peace-and-love doves. A beaded cardigan buzzed with tiny airplanes, while a sheath dress trailing streamers down its back crackled and popped with a mash-up of Union Jack and Old Glory flags, in honor of the elections in both countries, the Olympics, and the Queen's Jubilee.
Aiding in the effort were Scott's retro forties details—the ruffles drizzled down the front of her blouses, the tiny polo collar on her pleat-front dress, or the madcap sizzle of brightly covered buttons down another.
But while Scott's woman is something of a firecracker, she's no show-off. In a continuation of Scott's body-skimming fall silhouette, the look was long and lean to below the knee, but her fluid dresses are built to flatter, not to overstate the obvious. And they offer something much less tangible than overt seduction. They flirt.
One print, done in Scott's own prettily scrolling handwriting, said it all: Liberty. Love. Life. Laugh.

KING JOSIAH sent and gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
1 KING JOSIAH sent and gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
3 The king stood [on the platform] by the pillar and made a covenant before the Lord--to walk after the Lord and to keep His commandments, His testimonies, and His statutes with all his heart and soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to join in the covenant.
6 And Josiah brought the Asherah from the house of the Lord to outside Jerusalem to the brook Kidron and burned it there, and beat it to dust and cast its dust upon the graves of the common people [who had sacrificed to it].
7 And he broke down the houses of the male cult prostitutes, which were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove [tent] hangings for the Asherah [shrines].
10 And Josiah defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben-hinnom [son of Hinnom], that no man might ever burn there his son or his daughter as an offering to Molech.
11 And he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had devoted to the sun from the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the area, and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 And the altars on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, [Josiah] pulled down and beat them in pieces, and he [ran and] cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
13 And the king defiled the high places east of Jerusalem, south of the Mount of Corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abominable [goddess] of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abominable god of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abominable [god] of the Ammonites.
14 He broke in pieces the pillars (images) and cut down the Asherim and replaced them with the bones of men [to defile the places forever].
15 Moreover, the altar at Bethel, the high place made by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, that altar with the high place Josiah tore down and broke in pieces its stones, beating them to dust, and burned the Asherah.
16 And as Josiah turned, he saw the tombs across on the mount, and he sent and brought the bones out of the tombs and burned them upon the altar and defiled it, in fulfillment of the word of the Lord which the man of God prophesied, who predicted these things [about this altar, naming Josiah before he was born].
17 Josiah said, What is that monument I see? The men of the city told him, It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and foretold these things that you have just done against the altar of Bethel.
18 He said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 Also Josiah took away all the houses of the high places in the cities of Samaria which the kings of Israel had made, provoking the Lord to anger, and he did to them all that he had done in Bethel.
21 The king commanded all the people, Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.
23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.
24 Moreover, Josiah put away the mediums, the wizards, the teraphim (household gods), the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might establish the words of the law written in the book found by Hilkiah the priest in the house of the Lord.
25 There was no king like him before or after [Josiah] who turned to the Lord with all his heart and all his soul and all his might, according to all the Law of Moses.
26 Still the Lord did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath, kindled against Judah because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him.
27 And the Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of My sight as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city, Jerusalem, which I have chosen, and the house, of which I said, My Name [and the pledge of My presence] shall be there.
29 In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. King Josiah went out against him, but he slew Josiah at Megiddo when he saw him.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began his three-month reign in Jerusalem. His mother was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all [the evil] his forefathers had done.
33 And Pharaoh Necho put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and laid a tribute of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold upon the land.
34 Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of Josiah and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away to Egypt, where he died.
35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to give the money as Pharaoh commanded. He exacted the silver and gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necho.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began his eleven-year reign in Jerusalem. His mother was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, like all his [forefathers] had done.

Saint Damien
The story of Kalaupapa, Molokai is one of heartbreak as well as heroes. In the late 1800s, Hansen's disease was rampant in Hawaii. A lack of understanding of the disease and other factors led to the forced exile of patients to the secluded peninsula of Kalaupapa. Over the next century, many Congregational ministers, Catholic priests, Mormon elders, as well as family and friends of patients went voluntarily to Molokai to help, and through their efforts, the isolated community slowly transformed from a place to die into a place of healing. Of the many selfless caregivers, Saint Damien and Saint Marianne Cope are remembered as beloved champions of the patients.
Saint Damien was a selfless man who spent 16 years ministering to those who suffered from Hansen's disease at what is now Kalaupapa National Historical Park. Born Joseph de Veuster in 1840 in Belgium, Joseph traveled to Oahu in 1864 on missionary work. There, he took the name Damien after being ordained at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace, which still stands in Honolulu today, the oldest Roman Catholic cathedral in continuous use in the United States.
Following eight years of service on Hawaii Island, Saint Damien became aware that priests were needed on Molokai, to help those suffering from Hansen's disease, a chronic ailment that can affect the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes. The settlement of Kalaupapa, surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and cut off from the rest of Molokai by sea cliffs, was where those suffering from the illness were forcibly isolated from 1866 to 1969. At the age of 33, Damien arrived at this secluded peninsula, where he would spend the rest of his life.
Along with administering the faith and tending to the sick, he coordinated funding and medical services from Oahu, helped patients construct houses and churches, and even assisted in creating a water system. His willingness to insist both his church and Hawaii's government provide further resources helped raise global awareness of the disease and those suffering from it. Most importantly, he displayed tremendous kindness, easing the suffering and treating the afflicted with the utmost respect, leaving a legacy of selflessness and compassion that the people of Hawaii have never forgotten.
His close contact with those he was helping led to his contracting Hansen's disease himself. In 1889, Saint Damien died from the disease he worked so long to treat. Nearly 90 years after his death, in 1977, he was proclaimed by Pope Paul VI to be venerable, the first step toward sainthood. In October of 2009, Father Damien was named a saint at a ceremony in Rome. In attendance will be proud ancestors of those he cared for while in Kalaupapa.
Kalaupapa National Historical Park, which was established in 1980, is open year round, but only accessible by tour. Once there, visitors can learn more about Saint Damien and his contributions. One of the park's monuments is St. Philomena Roman Catholic Church, where Damien served and was originally buried. Back on Oahu, where he first landed in 1864, you can see Saint Damien's iconic statue in front of the State Capitol in Downtown Honolulu. Another statue honoring him can be found at the National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, D.C., along with a statue of King Kamehameha I.

On April 30, 2013, the Steering Committee of the OECD Global Forum on Transfer Pricing (Steering Committee) released a publication entitled "Draft Handbook on Transfer Pricing Risk Assessment" (the Handbook). The Global Forum on Transfer Pricing consists of all 34 OECD member countries, over 100 non-OECD countries, and nine international organizations, and is focused on the need to simplify transfer pricing rules, strengthen the guidelines on intangible issues and improve the efficiency of dispute resolution. The Steering Committee undertakes one project per year that is generally a 'best practices' overview of an important topic in transfer pricing administration that has relevance to both developed and developing economies.
The Handbook is meant to act as a supplement to prior OECD publications, including "Dealing Effectively with the Challenges of Transfer Pricing," a report released in January 2012 which included a chapter discussing transfer pricing risk assessment. Recognizing the need for practical guidance on implementing risk assessment techniques, the Steering Committee of the OECD Global Forum on Transfer Pricing undertook a project on transfer pricing risk assessment in November of 2011. The goal of the project was to provide tax authorities with a practical Handbook that offered a framework for assessing the transfer pricing risk presented by an individual taxpayer's operations. Interested parties are invited to provide comments on the Handbook by September 13, 2013.

(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer issued today the following statement on the death of Associate Justice Stanley Mosk of the California Supreme Court:
"As Attorney General, Stanley Mosk created new sections with lawyers dedicated to antitrust and consumer protection, and used his office to put an end to discrimination in the Professional Golfers Association. On the California Supreme Court and throughout his lifetime of public service, he championed individual liberties and served as a great social conscience for all Californians. His reverence for public service, his sense of fair play and his keen judicial intellect will be missed."

Kids found dead after Amber Alert
(Columbus) - Police in northwest Ohio say two of three teenage boys named in an Amber Alert were found dead after the third teen was located several counties away and told officers where the bodies were.
Ottawa Police said the Thursday morning alert about two missing 17-year-old boys and a missing 14-year-old boy was issued after a mother returned to a Putnam County trailer home and found a crime scene.
Police and the sheriff released no details about that scene, the bodies or where they were later found. Autopsies were planned.
Investigators said one of the 17-year-old boys and a missing silver car was found in Columbus, about 90 miles southeast of Ottawa. Police say that teen was detained and pointed them to the bodies.

I know personally how devastating grief is. When we lose someone or a relationship we love, it feels as if we will not be able to ever recover. Sometimes we get stuck. With a directed grief approach, you can learn how to manage your loss and move through the process. By discussing your feelings and understanding about grief, we will release the pain more quickly and retain what was beautiful, helping you move towards acceptance.

I am committed to helping my patients cope with grieving the loss of a loved one by encouraging them to express their emotions and helping them find meaning in situations that are often tragic. I try to employ a patient approach to help with the essential task of adjustment to such sudden change. Grief therapy also involves the loss of body parts, body functions and adjustment to an illness which is often life threatening

I dreamed of my grandmother's hands. It was an odd dream since Granny Leona has been dead a long time now. Even when she was alive, my days spent with her were few. I grew up in Georgia, a good day's drive from where Granny lived in Church Hill, Tennessee. The town gets its name because [Read More…]

We better go at least 4-2 with some of those schedules. If we go 3-3, I'd say we have about a 20% chance to make the playoffs. Our schedule is definitely the toughest. Thank god we have 4 out of 6 at home.
If we want to win the division, we better hope the Titans continue to go undefeated. If they lose 1, they will rest their starters the 15th game against the Steelers with the division and the #1 seed already being wrapped up.
I know that we control our destiny and we can only blame ourselves if we dont get in the tournament. But still, we should root for our playoff spot competitors to lose. With that in mind, GO BROWNS tonite! Beat the Bills
Re: Playoff Analysis/Rooting Guide
Isn't Denver also 6-4?

Re: Playoff Analysis/Rooting Guide
With SD @ 4-6, I am assuming Den will win the AFC West. The Broncos dont factor into the Wildcard picture then. Since the Browns, Jags & SD are all 4-6, 2 games behind in the Wildcard, I am not looking at their schedules yet.
You gotta think the Colts will be a Wildcard. With Lions & Bengals at home -- 2 definite wins. @ SD with their horrible passing defense & @ Browns (don't see them beating Peyton) ---- 2 probable wins. @ Jags will be a tough game even if the Jags are out of the picture b/c Del Rio will always want to win against the Colts. Titans, the last game...... unless the Titans are undefeated (possible), they will play the 2nd stringers, so win for the Colts.
The AFC East teams play a lot of NFC West teams. This sucks since the NFC West teams, minus the Cardinals, are terrible. You gotta assume that all of those NFC West teams will lose when they travel to the AFC East games. Needlessly to say I am going to be a Hawks, Rams, Cardinals, & 49ers fan in the upcoming weeks.
Also, there are few easy games the AFC East teams play..... Pats @ Oak, Fins @ KC, & Bills @ KC.
All in all, even though we have 4 out of 6 games at home and we are in control of our playoff destiny, the Ravens definitely have the toughest road to get into the 'tournament'. It starts this weekend... Must beat the SquEagles.
Re: Playoff Analysis/Rooting Guide
Just a prediction:
East: Jets
North: Steelers
South: Titans
West: Broncos
WC: Pats or Fins & Colts
I don't see a WC slot coming out of the AFC North
Ravens finish 9-7.
Re: Playoff Analysis/Rooting Guide
I still think it all comes down to winning the Division! Beat the Squeelers, we're in! Lose to the Squeelers, we're out!
I'm still not giving the Squeelers two wins vs Cleveland & Cincy. They aren't exactly lighting it up and could very easily lose one of these games! Especially the last game vs. Cleveland, with probably Crennel & Savage's jobs on the line! If they can beat the Squeelers, that might be enough for them to keep their jobs!
Also, The Squeelers are @ Tenn & NE, with Dallas coming to Squeeltown. They are definitely in a position to lose a bunch of these games!... They shall mount up with wings as Eagles;

Re: Playoff Analysis/Rooting Guide
Like I said, we better root for the Titans to stay undefeated by that 15th game against the Stillers. You know if they get beat beforehand, they are going to rest their starters the last 2 games with the #1 seed already wrapped up.
Re: Playoff Analysis/Rooting Guide
I have taken (and am still taking) the approach of enjoying each game and not sweating playoffs. If it happens, then great. But no big deal if we don't get in, with the M*A*S*H unit we have.
That being said...ahem...I agree that if we don't pick up 4 more wins then it's lights out. And I think we need at least 2 of those to be against AFC teams.
Re: Playoff Analysis/Rooting Guide
This week is key. if the Ravens knock off a team that beat the Steelers, i think they will be in good shape the rest of the way to go at least 3 and 2. As long as they than beat the Steelers, they should win the divison on tiebreakers if they finish with the same record.

View: Letter to L.A. requesting mediation
Special Section: LA/Ontario International Airport
Ontario and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors will join Inglewood and Culver City in a legal battle over an environmental plan for LAX approved by the Los Angeles City Council last week.
The three cities and the county announced Tuesday that they are seeking legal mediation with Los Angeles over its approval of a $4.8 billion plan to modernize Los Angeles International Airport.
Officials believe the modernization program can further negatively impact LA/Ontario International Airport which has already seen a 40 percent drop in passenger traffic since 2007.
Los Angeles now has five days to either respond or deny the request. If the request for mediation is denied the four entities have 30 days to file a lawsuit.
"They have starved its satellite airport (ONT) to siphon traffic to LAX. They are extorting money under the auspice of the LA system to build up LAX," said Ontario Councilman Jim Bowman.
The two-page report was filed by environmental attorney Barbara Lichman, representing the three cities and San Bernardino County.
The Alliance for a Regional Solution to Airport Congestion, a Westchester community group long opposed to the plan, filed a request asking for mediation on Friday. L.A. officials have five days to respond from that date.
Douglas Carstens, an attorney representing ARSAC, said he would be interested in joining efforts with the three other cities and the county.
"We share a number of concerns about regionalization and the lack thereof," he said.
Inglewood, Culver City as well as ARSAC were involved in a 2006 settlement agreement in which LAWA agency agreed it would redistribute air traffic throughout the region to avoid a lawsuit. The three entities were concerned, among many reasons, about traffic and air quality impacts that could result if LAX is modernized.
Ontario was not involved in that agreement.
But the recent action speaks volumes to the amount of opposition there is to this plan.
"When you have more than two agencies questioning you, you have to ask yourself 'maybe we are doing something wrong,' " Carstens said.
Tuesday's action is a separate action to the claim filed by Ontario on April 11, seeking to dissolve the 1967 joint-powers agreement that rescued ONT from failure but now is blamed for strangling the airport's prospects because, Ontario officials contend, LAWA is putting its resources into LAX and mismanaging ONT.
The city is still waiting for a response and could potentially file a lawsuit on the case by the end of this month.
Ontario has been in a battle with LAWA for more than four years in effort to regain local control of the airport, arguing it could better manage and market the facility.
"We need control of the airport. We can't continue to listen to the empty and shallow words of LAWA regarding our airport - it's simply too important," Bowman said.
News of the mediation comes as the airport's governing board, after years of delays, approved incentive and marketing plans to attract new service to ONT.
But Bowman, who referred to it as a "band-aid fix," said the effort is too little too late. The only reason the board presented the item was in response to the increase pressure from Ontario, he said.
"In a partnership of any type, if you have to exhaust all legal options just to get them to see your point, then that is not a good relationship," Bowman said.
The San Bernardino County supervisors gave their approval to get involved in the ONT issue during Tuesday's board meeting. The action also allows the county's counsel to discuss joining any future litigation with the three cities.
"We believe it would allow for LAX to handle more air traffic that would otherwise go to Ontario, and that affects the regional economy," San Bernardino County spokesman David Wert said.
Supervisor Gary Ovitt, whose 4th District includes Ontario, said ONT plays a vital role in the county's future economic development, which is dependent on a vibrant airport.
"It just makes sense for San Bernardino County to support something that is going to have tremendous economic impacts and implications for the future of our region," Ovitt said following Tuesday's board meeting. "If they (LAWA) were to continue to expand (LAX) would be at the expense of Ontario and our region. We're not going to stand here and allow that to take place without at least fighting for our future. "
Bowman commended the supervisors decision to get involved in the battle.
"They get it. They understand the importance of local control and the destiny of our economy," he said. "There's reason we have to consider a lawsuit, because L.A. doesn't get it. "

Graduate students: your feedback is needed!
How satisfied are Laurier graduate students with their experience?
Mar 12/13
In March, Laurier is requesting that all graduate students complete the 2013 Canadian Graduate and Professional Student Survey (CGPSS). The CGPSS is now open and will be used to identify strengths in their graduate experience as well as areas of possible improvement.
Graduate students registered in the current academic term have been invited by email (Laurier student e-mail address) to complete the survey. The survey invitation contains a unique log-in code and the external web address for accessing and completing the CGPSS.
The survey was started by MIT and Duke University in 2001 and was widely administered in Canada for 1st time in 2007. Since 2007, Laurier has participated in the CGPSS three times. In 2010, 38,600 graduate students participated across Canada. All Laurier survey participants will be entered in a draw for a chance to win 1 of 2 Apple iPads.
Participation in the CGPSS is completely voluntary. Analysis of the final survey responses will be kept strictly confidential.
Students who have any questions on the survey are encouraged to contact the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at email@example.com, or Wally Pirker at firstname.lastname@example.com

I was out last friday in a 3/2 and 3 gloves/boots...needless to say I didnt last long with that wind. I was wondering whats a good 4/3 with hood built in? any help is appreciated :)
At this point go 5/4/3. check out the xcel infiniti drylock 5/4/3. I have about 7 sessions in it so far. I have to say best suit i have ever purchased. light weight. usually making the jump from 3/2 to 4/3 or 5/4 is substantial difference. Not in this suit. Great flex, super warm. I will be rocking this puppy till I throw on my 3/2 in May.
The O'neill Mutant has built in hood....but have heard and experienced lots of problems with the knees wearing out on them...
I use a 4/3 all winter long im a little chillie after awhile but you will be fine
If you have the cash, definitely go Xcel. If you want to save some bucks, I love my new Hyperflex Flow 5/4/3 - I chose it over a Rip Curl Fireskin 4/3 with a hotskin/hood for winter, and it's been great so far.
Oniell mutant and the knee pads are just as good as the psycho series now.
I have a couple of dozen days in my '08 Mutant 4/3. It could provide a little more flex but it's a warm suit and not as crazy expensive as the psycho. The neck entry feature means that not a lot of water gets into the suit unless you're really getting worked. I've been out in water in the upper 40's with 3mm booties and 1.5 gloves. Gonna upgrade gloves and booties and try to get through the winter with the ol' 4/3 and a couple layers underneath. Guess I'll keep an eye on the knees but so far, so good.
Took the first dip in the used 3/2 psycho 2 I got off here today I will be in that for a while now that I am not in that damn billabong that leaks like a sieve.

Ya I do the same kind of work.Funny about the wifi.
Microsoft is great, without them I would be working on minimum wage or doing pysical work. Also the likes of the orange box and bt homehub have been a great money spinner, I've seen so many that have needed a full factory reset on day 1( not so easy as 123 on day one as they tell their customers ). I even had 1 lady who thought the usb wifi adaptor plugged into the usb socket on her router lol. People hate spending hours on the phone waiting to talk to customer support so they call in people like me. I should have started working for myself years ago!
Any one else getting this sort of work? Would love to hear from you, exchange tales of the work ect.
Don't discount Windows, I would be a poor man without it ;)
Ya I do the same kind of work.Funny about the wifi.
yeah we all blame microsoft when at the same time we would not have jobs if it wasn't for windows
-Google is watching you
-June 1, 2001, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer: "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches."
While my business model used to be break-fix, like you guys describe, I've shifted away from that. Other models are more lucrative in the long run.
Rather than point fingers, I became a Microsoft Partner. Do that, and you might make some real cash.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Ya i know.. All of my work is from word of mouth ..
linx is great but seriously not for the normal end user.I really like linux but there is not enough support for the os itself.. You need to know what ur doing to set it for client specific users or tryiing to "sell linux itself".. windows is great as far as useability goes .. security suffers as everyone knows but at the same point there are alot more users that "run mc os's"...Anyway to make this short , trying to win someone from a ms based os is crazy.. irrevalent of liking the os or not .. most of the public is ms based and so forth will always have exploits and we will all still have a job ..so what is Back Track for anyway ?!?!....
BackTrack is the most Top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes...
...Currently BackTrack consists of more than 300 different up-to-date tools which are logically structured according to the work flow of security professionals.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
Plus with only having C&G qualifications this is about as far as I can go for now. Also I'm quite happy as I am for now. Job satisfaction is key for me and I enjoy what I do. I know theres more money to be made in programming, web design server maintenance ect but all that ( especially programming ) bores me to tears. Yeah meeting different people every day traveling about the area and working the hours I want to work, cant get any better than that for now. I'm earning alot more than any one else I know personally at the moment.
I guess I titled this thread incorrectly to start with I was just interested to see if any one else here was doing similar work. But really god bless it!
Don't discount Windows, I would be a poor man without it ;)
May I ask how you got yourself started? How and where do you advertise to get this sort of and other work?
Any advice would be great, as I am thinking about going solo in the future.

You've probably heard the phrase "super moon" being bandied around about the full moon this weekend.
The full moon appears a little bigger in the sky this weekend, but not all that much bigger or more dramatic than the average full moon.
This weekend's full moon will be physically closer to the Earth, about 221,000 miles away. That will make it 7 percent larger than an average full moon and about 14 percent percent brighter.
The reason it's a super moon is that it's in the right place at the right time. The moon's orbit around Earth is not quite a perfect circle. It's a slightly oval ellipse.
Because of that shape the moon's distance from us varies more than 30,000 miles as it orbits Earth every month.
Its farthest distance, called apogee, can be as far as 252,000 miles. Its closest approach is called perigee and can be as close as 220,000 miles.
So the full moon this weekend will occur when it's nearly at perigee, making the lunar orb appear slightly larger.
When a full moon occurs when the moon is at apogee it appears slightly smaller than average. Some call that a "wimpy moon."
The next wimpy moon will occur Jan. 15.
You can see the relative difference in size in the photo where a super moon has been superimposed on the photo of a wimpy moon.
Make sure to watch the big orange moon when it's rising in the southeast around sunset tonight.
The full moon always seems much larger when it's rising than it does when it's higher in the sky and that optical illusion will be even more extreme tonight.
You'll notice that the super moon o is taking a low track across the southern sky.
That happens with any full moon around the summer solstice, or first day of astronomical summer, which occurred Friday.
This time of year the full moon takes pretty much the same low path that the sun does around the winter solstice, the first day of winter.
This makes sense when you think about it because the full moon is always on the opposite end of the sky from the sun, so this time of year as the sun takes its high arc across the summer sky the full moon is a low rider.
Around the winter solstice in late December there's a flip-flop. The sun takes its low trajectory in the southern sky and the full moon around Christmas takes a high arc.
Physically the full moon always makes the ocean tides a little higher and the closer super moon may add a tiny bit to that.

Spring is in the air….. The whites and grays of Winter are stepping aside for FRESH and VIBRANT COLORS! They are back!
As most of you, I'm inspired by the weather, my mood, trends, other artists, etc. But most of us get our inspiration from popular magazines. It's all about what's in NOW! Fortunately, I'm in total agreement with most of the designers out there and the contemporary vibe of color and it's big comeback! I love color! I'm known for color and as much as I love white on white on white……… I LOVE COLOR!
Clients come in weekly with their mags and wish lists and new ideas they've seen. I love it! I spend a small fortune myself on mags and couldn't live without them. I need visual stimulation at all times! Seriously!
I have a pretty creative mind and I've been blessed with vision. I design, I build, I create. I see things in my dreams and I literally wake up and sketch. But for most people they have a hard time with this. They know what they like when they see it, but have a hard time organizing there thoughts and making a room complete from scratch. That's where designers, magazines, books and shopping comes in!
So……. Don't be afraid of COLOR!!!!!!!!!!! There are many ways to bring it into your existing rooms….. NOW….. without a lifetime commitment! You can make a start with art, pillows and small occasional pieces like tables or a chair. JUST DO IT! AND LET US HELP!
Stay connected and see the new items brought back from this weeks trip and other local artists….. Photos should be posted on our facebook page soon!
Thanks and keep the feedback coming in! We love hearing from you…… it's what we do! Cindy
