BISHOP LOUTTIT'S ADDRESS TO 178th CONVENTION
Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Last year the major part of my address urged you to get your congregation to pray about God's purpose for you. As a reminder, I have asked that the central part of that address and my proposed Vision Statement be reprinted and made available to each of you tomorrow.
A leader's vision cannot be imposed on a community, but a leader is responsible for bringing forth from the people a vision that is of the community. What has happened about the vision the Bishop proposed for our congregations?
A direct response was received only from the vestry of St. Mark's, Brunswick, who, after studying and praying about my address and the Vision Statement for several months, wrote me an absolutely wonderful letter in which they thanked me for proposing a challenging vision, told me that they loved me, and they loved me for trying to get people to have a vision, but that for the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Georgia to double in five years was impossible. What they did not realize, was that I had, sitting on my desk, the hard data of our growth, or lack of it, as measured by attendance on Sundays and giving units. That data certainly suggests that we are sliding into oblivion, not growing. However, the letter was very supportive, and what was interesting to me is that St. Mark's is one of the parishes that is growing. Yesterday, we received the 1999 data showing St. Mark's growth from 200 to 310 members in Sunday attendance– 55% growth.
Despite the negative data, to double the membership of the diocese measured in average attendance on Sundays only requires every communicant to bring one person to church in the next five years who becomes active. To put it another way, it only requires each congregation to add 21 members a year for the next five years. Of course, the reality is that many of us now add more than 21 members a year, but we lose more than 21 members through moves and deaths. So to grow, we have to add 21 above those we lose. One congregation in 1999 added 28 people only to find that they were down four active members at the end of the year. That's fairly typical. Most of us are adding members, and most of us could add those additional 21 without a major change in the makeup of our congregation that so often threatens us as a community.
In spite of this, I can think of three or four places where I believe factors beyond the congregation's control makes any significant growth very difficult.
A year ago seven of our churches were growing at the rate of 15 members or more a year:
St. Andrew's, Darien
Christ Church, St. Simons Island
Grace Church, Waycross
Good Shepherd, Augusta
St. Elizabeth's, Richmond Hill
All Saints', Tybee Island
Good Shepherd, Swainsboro
Also, seven churches were growing at about 10 members a year, one-half towards what we need:
St. Mark's, Woodbine
St. Andrew's, Douglas
St. Augustine's, Augusta
St. Thomas', Thomasville
Calvary, Americus
Trinity, Cochran
Trinity, Statesboro
In addition to these, 5 other churches whose growth were relatively flat in 1998, showed an annual growth of 15 members or more in the proceeding three years:
Christ Church, Savannah
St. Francis', Savannah
St. Matthew's, Savannah
St. Peter's, Savannah
St. John's, Bainbridge
During the last four years, almost one-third of our congregations has experienced the growth necessary to double the membership in our diocese in the next five years. Among them are some of our bigger churches, (those with over 300 people in church on a normal Sunday), and some of our smaller churches, (those with fewer than 50 people in church on a normal Sunday)! They're in cities and small towns! Episcopal churches are growing. Most of our Episcopal churches could grow.
In more recent days I have gotten another formal and serious response to my request for prayer about our congregation's purpose from the vestry of Christ Church, Savannah, which has adopted a concrete growth priority, stating numbers to attain and a plan. Before my address last year, we already had such a priority established in the parishes of:
Good Shepherd, Augusta
Christ Church, St. Simons Island
Grace Church, Waycross
St. Elizabeth's, Richmond Hill
Good Shepherd, Swainsboro
I suspect that many of our other congregations have a commitment to grow – but they have never developed a concrete objective stating numbers to be added in a given year and, therefore, no concrete plans. Many of us have not even found out who the unchurched people are in our cities and towns.
To prepare for this year's 2000 address, I read the address of the Third Bishop of Georgia, Bishop Cleland Nelson, to this convention in the year 1900. He talked about how the larger congregations were interested only in their own ministry to their people. "The fields in Georgia are ripe to harvest, but there was no energy in the parishes to reach out to them." It is interesting to note that the Diocese of Georgia in those days called priests serving small congregations, "missionaries." Unaware of that aspect of our history, we have now been moving towards calling pastors of our growing smaller congregations, "missioners." We've done that to remind ourselves that priests supported from beyond the local congregations are clearly being supported by the other congregations in order to help these smaller congregations grow. The salutary reminder in the 1900 address is that a number of churches in Camden County and Glynn County, as well in the Savannah, Augusta, and Albany areas were present in 1900 and do not exist today. Churches that don't grow, die – it may happen slowly, but they die no matter how much they are loved. On the other hand, congregations that were made up of only one or two people in 1900 are now:
St. Paul's, Jesup
St. Mark's, Woodbine
Grace Church, Sandersville
St. Andrews's, Douglas
This contrasts with the no longer existing congregations of 1900 in Ocilla, Rochele, McRae, Vienna, Blackshear.
Enough about 100 years ago – what's happening among us now? As far a I know, only the leaders of two congregations have studied and prayed about "the purpose of their congregation" in response to my request last year, but as I have gone about talking to vestries and visiting congregations I have seen the Holy Spirit at work in many, many of our communities:
1. In St. Stephen's, Lee County, at my first official visitation for the year 2000, a man of mature years was presented for baptism. He came forward without Prayer Book – he answered all the questions from his heart. The entire congregation – men, women, and young people – were crying. He was radiant. He has found new life in Jesus Christ through St. Stephen's!
We are purchasing a seven-acre lot between Lee County middle school and the new elementary school, across the street from the high school. It includes a ranch style house. A monetary gift to the diocese, over 30 years ago, has grown to a $100,000.00. It was given to help us start a new congregation in the Albany area. This gift from the diocese together with $100,000.00 borrowed by the congregation will purchase the land and develop an appropriate worship space. Their current income should be able to repay the loan. The diocese will provide continuing (but decreasing) support towards the cost of a "church planter" priest for three more years. St. Stephen's, Lee County is reaching people for Christ and it's leadership has pledged to work for the growth of the congregation.
2. I make my first Bishop's visitation to our new church plant in Columbia County, the Church of the Holy Comforter, with church planter, Pastor Cynthia Taylor, this Sunday. They held their first worship service on Christmas Eve with 117 people participating. They meet on Sunday afternoons because that's when the meeting space is available. They have about 75 members. You will meet their representatives to this convention tomorrow. St. Paul's, Augusta, has graciously provided office space and office support to Pastor Cynthia Taylor, their long-time assistant, as she organized and found families this fall for the new congregation. The planting of the Church of the Holy Comforter in Columbia County has been supported by many individuals and congregations of the Augusta Convocation. The Church of the Good Shepherd has placed a line item in their budget for the year 2000 to support Holy Comforter in the amount of $5,000 a year. The last Diocesan Capital Funds drive with the support and leadership of the Augusta Convocation made funds available for the purchase of land in Columbia County to facilitate the planting of their new congregation.
3. You and I provide half of the financial support for our Korean Missioner, Fr. Daniel Lee, who gets half of his support from St. James', Hinesville, which is the seventh Korean speaking congregation in the Episcopal Church and the only one in the South. Fr. Lee is currently forming a second Korean-speaking congregation in our diocese, "nested in" space provided by St. Augustine's Church here in Augusta. It is called St. Francis'. Fr. Daniel Lee has also had a sizeable part in bringing into the Episcopal Church this fall two Korean speaking congregations, one in Tampa, Florida, and one in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition to that, he has inspired at least four Korean pastors of other denominations to seek Episcopal ordination. In my Episcopal visitations this year you have heard or will hear more about our part in sharing the Gospel in the Korean language in the south of the United States.
4. Mr. Frank Logue is one of those who will be ordained a deacon here Saturday morning. After his graduation from Virginia Seminary in May, he will be assigned to Camden County to plant a new congregation in the rapidly growing area around Kings Bay Naval Base. He will be supported by our gifts through the diocesan budget and, I hope, by the love and work of members of our congregations, Christ Church in St. Marys and St. Mark's, Woodbine. Christ Church plans to increase the size of their Parish House by one-third, preparing the way for steady growth in this small parish. They are looking forward to building a larger church building on the corner of their property in the near future.
5. What about growth in long-time congregations who have less than 100 people in church on Sunday? With their commitment to try to grow we have placed priests with special training in "redevelopment and rebirth" as their pastors: Pastor James N. Parker is working with Holy Angels', Pooler, Fr. Kurt Miller is working with Atonement, Augusta, Pastor Susan Panton is working with Holy Cross, Thomson. Then in the west, around I-75, we have eight small missions that have been there a long time. Most of them have at best been able to pay for between one-twelfth and one-eighth of a pastor's time. Fr. Jim Parker, with the part time help of Fr. Jerry Crook, has been named our Western Missioner. Interestingly, 100 years ago we also had a Western Missionary. With Fr. Parker's church growth and church planting skills, we are trying to discover which of these three congregations, Christ Church, Cordele, St. Matthew's, Fitzgerald, and Trinity, Blakely, can grow and how to best responsibly support the others in their ministries at this time. In the southwest, we also have three congregations – St. Barnarbas' and Christ the King, Valdosta, and St. John's, Bainbridge – which are self supporting while paying a full time priest. We also have three missions which are currently self supporting while paying a full time priest and we have St. Stephen's, Lee County, which is paying about one-half of the church planter's salary. All of these expect to be parishes in the near future. Two other congregations are working together to support a pastor, whom they will share. A couple are supplied at this time by retired priests. One has a priest come in once a month from a nearby large parish. We have services in most of them every Sunday, but that is not secured very long into the future. With our experiences in Cordele, Fitzgerald, and Blakely we hope to develop a technique for working with and supporting congregations that have been in their communities a long time, to bring about rebirth and growth in ministry.
6. St. John and St. Mark's, Radium Springs, with Pastor Joe Clift is the product of rebirth and growth. Two struggling missions destroyed by the Albany floods, one Black and one mostly White, have come together and have been reborn. This year they are self-supporting with a lovely new $200,000.00 parish house under construction. This will house their community which has far outgrown the facilities they currently use, with the exception of the church which itself is comfortably full. The good news is not that they are self-supporting or have a lovely new facility under construction, but they have grown up as St. John and St. Mark's and have discovered a mission of witnessing to how Christ can overcome racial divisions in a culture that, if not racist, still has sizable racist segments.
They are justly proud in their offering of a seminar on Nature Spirituality to which they invited people from the Albany region. They have been drawing 40 to 50 non-members to each session. They are also proud of the growth within their own community of a large adult Sunday school class. Life is everywhere visible in the people and the priest.
7. Last school year we held several conferences for the leaders of congregations with less than 50 people in church on Sunday. We have 22 congregations this size. At these conferences a number of members of our diocese talked about what needed to happen for growth to at least sustain our current size and perhaps to become stronger so that we could do more ministry. All but a couple of our smaller congregations responded and most of the people that came reported being encouraged in their ministries. This year we have had one of two such conferences for small parishes – those between 50 and 150 people on Sunday morning. . At the lower end of that spectrum, we actually have 21 congregations that have 50 to 100 people on Sunday morning. Many of these support a full time pastor, but it becomes more and more difficult to pay the bills. These conferences begin with an overview of the changes that have happened to our culture and the job market, which has placed our congregations in a different situation in their communities. Then there are working groups which the various members of the vestry can choose to participate in:
a. How to prepare for growth
b. How to have a successful Sunday school for one child or a few
c. How to discern and support members in developing their ministries within the congregation and keep them from burning out
d. How to teach and share stewardship in a small congregation
e. How to use the media to make the larger community aware that we are in the community and alive. (Unless they know that we are there we can hardly expect to be an option for someone looking for a church.)
Those that came to the first conference were very positive in their feed back. All wished that more members of their congregation had been able to come. The second of these conferences will be held next Saturday at St. Anne's, Tifton. It's not too late for you and your friends to come. But do please call so that we can plan and provide the number for lunch (free) which we need for those who are going to be there.
8. In my first six visitations this year of our Lord 2000, I was present at baptisms at five including at least the baptism of one adult in each of them! Is the Holy Spirit moving within and among ourselves in our church? Yes! Alleluia!
a. The parishioners of St. Mark's, Brunswick, each Sunday prepare and serve lunch to their neighbors, many of whom are street people. This happens in an inadequate parish house from which they have to move out their adult hospitality and education in order to share with their neighbors. The same congregation has a Spanish Eucharist on Sunday evenings.
b. Grace Church, Waycross, commissioned a ministry team to begin Episcopal worship in surrounding towns. This team is prepared to facilitate worship, hospitality, Christian education, ministry to others, and to gather new folk into our part of the family in branch congregations supported by the larger parish of Grace Church. The towns in which this work will be done are small enough that there is not the expectation that these congregations must be expected to grow to the size to support a full time pastor.
c. Christ Church, Savannah, has a growing number of young couples taking their place in the regular life of the parish.
d. Christ the King, Valdosta, is offering the people in Lowdnes County innovative opportunities to grow in their spirituality through a number of offerings to learn about prayer in a number of different forms.
e. St. Andrew's, Darien, is moving to use some of their endowment fund income to support seminarians from our diocese.
f. Christ Church, Frederica, is moving towards encouraging ministry in mission in our diocese by grants from a portion of their endowment fund to congregations who need funds in order to develop their ministry.
g. Good Shepherd, Augusta, is building a new 2.3 million-dollar addition to the Episcopal Day School. This is a clear statement to the Richmond County area that the Episcopal Church cares about young people.
h. St. Paul's, Jesup, is taking on a ministry with St. Thomas Aquinas' in Baxley and is sharing their priest with the people of St. Thomas Aquinas'.
i. St. Margaret of Scotland, Moultrie, has purchased a beautiful site on Main Street in Moultrie and is preparing to build a church/parish house facility upon it.
j. Trinity Church, Statesboro, has its 1.3 million-dollar church and parish house under construction on a new location on the by-pass.
k. Christ Church, Augusta, has created with endowment income a reading enrichment program after school in their neighboring elementary school, which serves some of the poorest children here in Richmond County. The success rate has been highly encouraging – and interestingly one adult working at that school was so struck that any Christian congregation would fund a program of that kind for other people's children that she came to find out what Christ Church was about and has become an active member.
l. Another sign of the Spirit working among us is the support pledge by most of our congregations for work of our church in the diocese and beyond. We are particularly thankful for those who accept 100% of their asking which make up for those who can not or will not give their share of the budget. (About 17% of parish income would support our budget if everybody gave at that level) A special thanks to those who have moved closer to accepting their asking this year.
19 Congregations who received no subsidy pledged 100% of their asking:
Calvary, Americus
St. Michael's, Waynesboro
St. Mark's, Brunswick
St. Andrew's, Darien
Trinity, Statesboro
Annunciation, Vidalia
St. Peter's, Savannah
Trinity, Cochran
St. Luke's, Hawkinsville
St. Mary Magdalene, Louisville
St. John & St. Mark's, Albany
Trinity, Blakely
Christ Church, Cordele
St. Matthew's, Fitzgerald
St. Richard's, Jekyll Island
All Saints', Tybee Island
St. John's, Bainbridge
St. James', Quitman
Atonement, Augusta
10 Congregations made a significant increase in their pledges for the year 2000:
Good Shepherd, Augusta
Our Savior, Martinez
Christ Church, St. Simons Island
St. Paul's, Savannah
St. Thomas', Savannah
St. Thomas', Thomasville
St. Paul's, Jesup
Christ the King, Valdosta
Holy Angels', Pooler
St. Margaret's, Moultrie
The problem with lists such as this is that my memory is far from perfect. I hope you will forgive this Bishop for any oversights and rejoice in the ministries of your brothers and sisters that I have told you about and remind me of the good stories of God's love at work in your area.
Now to support the ministries God is calling us to do here in our area of Georgia we have to have ordained leaders, priests, and deacons – and some would say we need more Bishop. We, also, clearly need more "exchangeable energy," which is what we Americans call money.
I would report that a year ago the Diocesan Council agreed that the most important thing we could do as 69 congregations together was to encourage good teaching about stewardship. We have a history of this in the Diocese of Georgia, but we have to be reminded and called back to the task on a regular basis. Thus we invited one of the outstanding teachers of stewardship today, Dr. Douglas Meeks, a professor from Vanderbilt and active Methodist leader. He's agreed to come and preach and speak to us Episcopalians about Christian stewardship.
Your Bishop knows that the Gospel is about living for Christ and that there is no way to be a Christian without realizing that everything that we have is God's gift to us. We are not self made – you have been given much. God is a great lover and the greatest giver of all. I hope Dr. Meeks can remind us in encouraging ways and help us remember how to share the good news with our friends so that they will rejoice in God's good gifts to us and share them with others.
We have provided presentations to the clergy and the Diocesan Council and have a conference planned for February 25 & 26 at Honey Creek for your wardens and leaders either currently in place or who might be in place to help your congregation teach and hold up to people "Planned Giving." This is to remind people that good stewardship includes caring for our family and providing funds we leave at our death for charitable causes. To do this, Christians need to have a prayerfully thought out will. For a number of people more can actually be left to a family if there are thoughtful charitable gifts. Otherwise, the government taxes and, if there is no will, the cost of court process and lawyers will use up a considerable amount of an estate. Unfortunately, most people in Georgia die without wills. I know none of us want to think about our own death and so, therefore, we put off writing a will or updating it. But since 1549 our church's Prayer Book has a rubric that directs the priests to make sure members have thought about their stewardship for their family and their on going charitable interests and to prepare a will. You can find it in the Book of Common Prayer on page 445, which states that the duty of Christian parents is "to make prudent provision for the well-being of their families, and of all persons to make wills while they are in health, arranging for the disposal of their temporal goods, not neglecting, if they are able, to leave bequest for religious and charitable uses."
Very few of our congregations have endowments. Costs keep going up. This is a wonderful opportunity for congregations to begin to encourage the development of endowment funds, which will allow the ministry that we appreciate to continue into the future. I hope that you will have members of your congregation present at the wardens' and leaders' conference on planned giving.
In closing, I ask you to pray for our stewardship as congregations in providing active members reaching out in God's love to God's world around us. Pray for our stewardship of our assets both as individual members of the church and as congregations to further Christ's work in the world. Pray for our stewardship of people that we call forth, people with the gifts that we need, to be ordained priests and deacons and to serve in the many ministries of leadership within our parishes. Pray that your vestry will study and pray about the purpose of your congregation from God's view point and that they will prepare concrete objectives to move to fulfilling that purpose. Perhaps you could ask every vestry member in your congregation to read the selection from my 1999 Diocesan Address and to get started in this process of prayer and meditation on God's will for us in this decade and century in south and east Georgia.

Tesla Model S Autopilot 2.0 Stunt Is Overated?
Earlier this week, Tesla announced that it will be updating the Autopilot system entirely and the newer version will have even greater autonomous capabilities. Tesla added that they will demonstrate it all through the Model S by getting the car to drive from LA to NYC.
It might sound like a huge stunt but we actually find it overrated based on what we have been hearing on the surface. For starters, we don't see why the current Autopilot system can't do so because the major highway linking LA and NYC are of high quality and this will complement the autonomous sensors.
In addition to that, the self-driving skills won't be tested much as it will just be about the Model S cruising for a couple of days. Speaking of duration, a normal drive on a normal car will normally take 3 days to complete the journey. With the Model S needing charging times, the duration is expected to stretch until 5 days.
We just don't see what the Model S can accomplish through demonstrating Autopilot 2.0 in this stunt. It would be better if Tesla simply place the Model S with Autopilot 2.0 in NYC and get to drive around the block while looking for a parking spot. Now that would be worth a watch.

Kentucky Press News Service
Frankfort – The Energy and Environment Cabinet Monday announced that about $1.36 million in grant funding has been awarded by the Kentucky Pride Fund for cleanup of 129 illegal dumps in 24 counties across the state.
These counties have been awarded grants: Breathitt, Bullitt, Carlisle, Christian, Clark, Crittenden, Cumberland, Elliott, Green, Hart, Henderson, Lee, Leslie, Lincoln, Logan, Madison, Magoffin, Marion, Mason, Warren, Wayne, Whitley, Wolfe and Woodford.
Rev. Billy Jenkins asked those gathered Sunday afternoon at Lebanon United Methodist Church to turn their Bibles to the Book of Esther.
In that passage, King Ahasuerus had plans to attack the Jews, but instead, the Jews defeated those who sought to harm them.
Just as God turned the tables on those who would attack his people, God is still helping to turn tables, Jenkins said to the audience at this year's Martin Luther King Day program, hosted by the Marion County Chapter of the NAACP.
Steve Beam has enjoyed MoonPies — the chocolate covered, marshmallow-filled, graham cracker dessert sandwich — since he was a kid.
"I had one in my lunchbox every day. My bother and I both did," he said.
Today, he and his brother, Paul, have another reason to like MoonPies even more. Their business, Limestone Branch Distillery, soon will be selling MoonPie Moonshine.
"We're hoping for the first week of February," Steve Beam said.
Recent subzero temperatures created problems for many Marion County residents, including multiple reports of frozen or busted water pipes.
Jimmy Mudd, superintendent of the Marion County Water District, said they received between 35 and 40 reports of damaged water pipes, and John Q. Thomas, director of Lebanon Water Company, said they received 60 to 70 calls either asking for water to be cut off or reporting busted water pipes.
Mudd and Thomas also indicated that each of their agencies had leaks in their own lines as a result of last week's subzero conditions.

As John Wilcher laid sleepless in his Army bunk not far from areas of Afghanistan pockmarked by bombings, he could think only of a promise he had made his daughter two years earlier.
Wilcher, a Marion County native, didn't know if he would ever see his family again -- but he had vowed to his little girl he would return home safely.
Now a Realtor in Sarasota, his combat deployment stands in stark contrast to a recent crowning achievement.

A closer look at one of the Earth Ships. I really do love these designs, so intuitive and well thought out, taking all things into consideration from a 'permaculture' perspective!
Elly and I are in the planning stages of our earth bermed house project which we hope to be living in in a year or so. About a mile or so from our current house is an "Earthship", a particular style of earth bermed house, originally designed and promoted by New mexico architect Mike Reynolds. It is built with walls made out of earth-filled automobile tires that are then covered with clay and cement.
It uses south-facing solar windows and a number of other things (like greywater cisterns) which we are planning on.
While this is not the method of building we are looking at, it has enough of the same features that we felt it would be a source of information for us. Owners Larry and Karen spent four years doing much of the building themselves and they were a fountain of information answering all of…

I found your blog through Bloglovin. And just in time! :). I love your idea if using MATH for the rotations. Thank you for the freebie. I currently flip my math time and am looking for a way to implement Math Worshop. I love your idea! With flipping my whole group instruction, I could do Math Workshop 4-5 days a week. I can't wait!

Minimum wage raises have been so little, so late that even with the increase to $7.25 on July 24, workers will still make less than the $7.93 minimum wage of 1956, adjusting for inflation. It would take $9.92 to match the buying power of the minimum wage of 1968. That's why the Let Justice Roll Living Wage Campaign says the minimum wage raise on July 24 is good, but not good enough.
"It can get very difficult when you have to decide which bill to pay each month," says Anjail Hafeeza of New Jersey. "I'm constantly scrambling to keep from getting evicted or have the lights cut off. I'm a mother of 2 young boys, working two jobs, but one paycheck from being homeless."
The owner of The Progress Bakery in Springdale, Ark., Jose Herrera, says, "The minimum wage increase is a good investment. From a business owner's point of view, I think it's great because it would help my workers and customers earn more -- bringing in more business in the long run."
Jose Oliva is Policy Coordinator for Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United, which has chapters in Chicago, Los Angeles, Maine, Miami, Michigan, New Orleans, New York and Washington, DC, where the minimum wage is also going up because it's tied to $1 above the federal level. Oliva says, "Restaurant workers do some of the hardest and most underappreciated jobs in our nation. It's time they were guaranteed fair compensation. While the minimum wage increase is progress worth celebrating, we can't forget that tipped workers are waiting for additional reforms."
Almost 15% of waiters and waitresses live below the federal poverty level -- which is itself below the actual level needed for even basic necessities. The minimum base pay for tipped workers has been frozen at $2.13 since 1991. Tipped workers, such as restaurant servers, delivery workers and others will benefit from the July 24 increase because base pay plus tips must add up to the minimum wage or else employers must make up the difference. But too many managers take advantage of workers by illegally underpaying them. The $2.13 rate will not increase with the new minimum wage. To help remedy this unfair situation, ROC-United is encouraging Congress to pass the Working for Adequate Gains for Employment in Services "WAGES" Act (H.R. 2570). The bill would increase tipped workers' base pay to $3.75 immediately and later index the rate to 70% of the federal minimum wage.
In Nashville, Tenn., small business owners, faith leaders, minimum wage workers and living wage advocates will hold a press conference on Friday, July 24 to celebrate the federal increase but also emphasize that it's not enough.
Rabbi Saul Strosberg of Congregation Sherith Israel in Nashville will speak at Friday's press conference, saying, "When the Bible tells us to let the poor glean from the corners of the fields, we can translate that to paying workers enough to feed their families. The strength of our society lies in how we take care of those who have the least. A raise in the minimum wage is in accord with our religious values."
Maryanna Clarke, Founding Artistic Director of the Tennessee Women's Theater Project, said, "It is important to me that artists, and all workers, make a living wage. I don't believe in the theory of trickle down economics. If people make enough to live on, they will put money back into the economy in the form of purchases -- they will stimulate the economy. But beyond that -- paying workers a living wage is the honorable thing to do!"
Let Justice Roll is calling for a minimum wage of $10 in 2010 to make up the ground lost in minimum wage buying power since 1968 and bring us closer to the "minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency and general well-being of workers" promised in the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act.
"The minimum wage was enacted during the Great Depression to put a floor under workers' wages and stimulate the economy," said Holly Sklar, Let Justice Roll Senior Policy Adviser and author of Raising the Minimum Wage in Hard Times and Raise the Minimum Wage to $10 in 2010. "The fall in worker buying power is a big reason we're in the worst economic meltdown since the Depression. You can't build a strong economy on poverty wages."
Rev. Paul Sherry, Executive Director of Let Justice Roll, says, "It is immoral that the minimum wage does not cover the cost of basic human needs. We need a wage ethic to go with our work ethic. We can start by raising the minimum wage again to $10 in 2010."
More than 600 faith leaders from all 50 states have endorsed Let Justice Roll's letter calling for a $10 in 2010 minimum wage, and more are signing on every day. You can find the Faith Leaders Letter and growing list of signatories at our website.
With over 100 member organizations, the Let Justice Roll Living Wage Campaign is the leading faith, community, labor, business coalition committed to raising the minimum wage to a living wage at the state and federal level.

Changing my prompt
05-07-2008 #2
I don't see how that matters...
$ is displayed when you login as a user and
# means you're on a root shellGraham - You'd better Use Linux!
I'm registerd Linux user #397030. What about you?

echo $SHELL
In any case, once you know the shell that you are using, we can orientate you better on how to setup your shell prompt. For example, bash sets the prompt variable PS1 into ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile, depending on what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks a lot. The reason why I think it matters is because I have an application installed on both servers and I import some data into directories on these two servers. I have not been successful in importing to the one with $ and/or #, but the one with > has been the only one that goes through.
Below is the command issued:
incadmin@ipmanagement:/opt/incontrol...tChildblock.sh -u incadmin -p identity -f imports/RichCoreblock.csv -e imports/RichCoreblock.err -r imports/RichCoreblock.rej
Works only on the servers with the > prompt and the ones with $ or #.
How much confussion have i casued?
By the way, the command above is supposed to make something happen in the application in question.
what are your thoughts?
05-08-2008 #5
There shouldn't be any reason why one shell would carry out an execute command differently than any other. What is the program you are trying to run there? I can't find anything about it so I am guessing it's a homemade shell script, obviously the first two parameters are username and password, the next imports a file of comma separated values of something to block (who knows what) the next is the error reporting file. Ah but the last parameter, I've seen rej files in LDAP commands, they are used to log changes in slurpd, or slapd, I forget.
So my final assesment is that this is a script that logs you into an LDAP server, alters a database using the values from RichCoreblock.csv, reports any errors to the next file, and records changes in the rej file.
Just a guess.

export PS1="> "
Shells have a number of prompt variables, PS1 being the one you usually see, and PS2 is used for continuation lines (this is usually >). man bash for the rest.

The thing is that the prompt has nothing to do with you being able to run that command or not, it's just a cosmetical/informative thing.

Once Upon a Time in the West Reviews
July 24, 2009
Leone's film, authentic yet hyper-stylised, complete with the coolest cowboy fashion (gunslingers in long coats has never been bettered), mainstreet shootouts and raw, memorable characters, is a tough, leathery sundried masterpiece.
July 24, 2009
There are plenty of unforgettable moments, such as that sublime crane shot over the new settlement of Flagstone, accompanied by Ennio Morricone's achingly romantic music.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
July 24, 2009
Stunning big-screen cowboy film.
July 24, 2009
Sergio Leone's frontier parable is a landmark in Westerns, and features not only one of the greatest opening sequences ever made, but also the best use of a harmonica in cinema.
July 24, 2009
One of the greatest ventures into the myth and legend of the Wild West.
November 20, 2007
What fun.
| Original Score: 5/5
Top Critic
January 26, 2006
The Western is dead - or so they tell us. Long live Leone's timeless monument to the death of the West itself, rivalled only by Peckinpah's Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid for the title of best ever made.
Top Critic
September 29, 2005
Leone (1921-1989) is here at the peak of his epic powers.
Top Critic
September 27, 2005
If only the first 10 minutes of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West still existed, this most hyperbolic of oat operas would still be acknowledged as one of the genre's greatest exhumations.
September 20, 2005
Leone's insistence on style trumped the need for substance.

It is mostly fun for the way it cherishes movie styles and attitudes from the past.

March 7, 2005
The 165-minute feature doesn't always make perfect sense, but it's a thrill to just sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Top Critic
October 23, 2004
The movie stretches on for nearly three hours, with intermission, and provides two false alarms before it finally ends.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
August 24, 2004
Explores legends and entombs myths into a film that is timeless and will live on as a work of art even if the western as we once knew it disappeared alongside its heroes.

'even the quieter romantic or reflective moments are filled with a sense of energy coming from the expectation that at any given moment something huge is going to happen.'

Visualmente espetacular, este cl�ssico cerca a bela Cardinale de atores fant�sticos, que duelam n�o apenas com suas armas, mas tamb�m com suas �timas performances.

January 26, 2004
A Leone masterpiece: its deep-focus panoramas, looming widescreen closeups and brilliant sound design are as distinctive as the ballistic signature of a bullet.
January 6, 2004
Leone's masterpiece, the pinnacle of his storied career

One of the greatest face movies ever made.

Only thing I know how to do is keep on keeping on. My friend Lisa helped me this weekend xerox the pages for my book, The Crossroad I'm gonna debut at Stone Soup. We have an eerie amount in common, and it made me really happy that the girl who sat silently that one time at Stone Soup who I thought seemed so interesting came and said she liked my poem. Her poems rock, too. I wish I could write like that when I was 20, and I wish she wasn't leaving so soon.
We are obsessive, foolish girls. And it's okay. And it's fine. We're writers, we're melancholic, and that's okay. Emo? Meh. Labeling something as emo when it's genuine doesn't help. It never helps to apologize or feel bad for one's feelings. We have to experience what we feel in order to really grow, to really live, and to really move on.
Saturday night Open Bark and a full house. Tonight Stone Soup with a surprising range of young people. Chad asked Al and me afterward if we knew them. We did not. "You think all the people in Boston under 30 know each other?" I asked. "Well, sort of," he said.
I read some older poems from my book. Afterward, Jack Powers came up and tried to tell me something, but I couldn't understand him. Al concurred that it seemed like he was trying to compliment me. The only word I really understood though was, "okay."
Jack and I both are Virgos.
Two days off from work in a row now. I don't even know what to do with myself. Hopefully I won't get too depressed. Part of me wants to take off and go to Maine, where I've never been. Just drive, sleep on the rocky beach somewhere. Eat fish chowder and talk to the men with white beards.
But hopefully I'll get some writing done. And some reading. Hopefully I won't get too depressed.
Now back to PBR and the long stapler.

I know. It's always a good idea not to continue eating things if they taste like death :)
I'm so glad I met you Jade, seriously, you have no idea how much I respect you and look up to you as a writer. Your poems are some of the most amazing ones I've come across, and I really think you are going to be successful.
Of course we'll hang out before I leave, and I'm definitely going to come visit during the school year...

Jose Mauri has completed his move to Milan, signing a four-year deal at San Siro.
Teenage midfielder Mauri provided one of the few positives for Parma in Serie A last season – impressing for the cash-strapped club.
And he has now been snapped up on a free transfer by Milan, who are undergoing a close-season of transition under new coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Having confirmed Mauri was undergoing a medical earlier on Monday, Milan announced the completion of his move in a brief statement on their official website.
It read: "AC Milan announces that Jose Mauri has signed a contract with the club until the 30th of June, 2019."

Just Released: Roya's Interior D
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) October 10, 2009
Roya's Interior Décor, a Rockville, Maryland company is pleased to announce the launch of their new website — www.RoyasInteriorDecor.com. The website marks Roya's first foray into the Internet world.
Roya's Interior Décor has been providing interior decorating services in Rockville, MD for years. With classical tastes and a loyal following of customers, Roya has operated largely by word of mouth and referrals. But as with any decorating business, the challenge Roya's Interior Décor faced was how to display samples and an impressive portfolio of work to prospective clients. Hard copy photographs and carrying around a portfolio is not a reasonable tactic for marketing on any scale.
"Even when we get a strong personal referral, the client still wants to see work that we have done in the past," said Roya Teymourian, of Roya's Interior Décor. "Decorating is such a personal service, prospects must be comfortable with the designer's eye and inclinations before they will become a client, and the new website will help do just that," she added.
With a specialty in whole house interior decorating, Roya has a keen eye for things that many decorators over look. Continuity from one room to another and coordinating not just colors and patterns, but also the feel of a home is what separates Roya from other decorators. Even for single room projects, the existing elements of the rest of the home come strongly into play. The room must fit the overall theme of the house.
Roya's Interior Décor has also expanded operations to include commercial decorating projects in addition to consumer projects. Commercial spaces are quite challenging because attention must be paid not only to the tastes of the client, but also to branding and corporate objectives.
The new website will highlight Roya's consumer home decorating in Rockville, MD and also the commercial decorating services offered nationwide. The site will display highlights from various decorating projects and provide an easy way to engage Roya for decorating services. The new website went live on August 1, 2009. The official launch will coincide with Roya's appearance in Home and Design magazine in November 2009.

Seat Leon SupacopaDoes the Seat Leon Supacopa have superpowers?
It hides in plain sight. It means only to fight the evils of mediocrity and blandness. It wants to make the earth a better place to be. Is it a bird? No. There are no wings here. Is it a plane? No, it's still lacking in the wind department. It's the SEAT. Yup. SEAT has released its first ever super automaton, the Leon FR+ Supercopa. Now, what looks like a jazzy new body kit to you and I is actually the result of a radiation extent in a region of Spanish countryside. This actually used to be a humble e [unk] commercial model. It really did. However, its superpowers are as yet unknown, or SEAT knows is it rocks up at the factory in a giant carbon fiber cradle curled up in a blanket with lots of tiny little SEAT logos on it. So, they fussed us to find out exactly what superpowers it has. Let's get testing. So, is the Supercopa, like the Incredible Hulk, super strong? To test this, I'm gonna try push it away, a sort of battle of wills. Let's find out. And-- Yes. It is. As long as the hand brake's on. Otherwise, get a friend and don't try and push it up a hill. In a typical British summertime, it's ideal to have the superpower of Storm from the X-Men. She could change weather. So, can our Supercopa make it less drizzly and cold, and more into a balmy summer's day? Sun, come on. We could have like a nice time together. We could drive our nice dry road, decent corners. Get quickly within the national speed limit, of course. And sun, sun. No drizzle. Sun. No. It can't change the weather. Nightcrawler from the X-Men can instantly teleport from place to place. So, can the Leon? Ready? It works. Brilliant. Supercopa, take me elsewhere. Can it, like Sue Storm-- the invisible girl, and Jessica Alba look-a-like-- go invisible and whatnot? Let's find out. Yes. But only with lots of post-production. Lots. Lots. Actually, yes. Well, kind of. You see, the FR+ Range comes with two engines. A 211 brake horsepower petrol straight out to the Golf GTI and a near as 870 brake horsepower diesel add to the Golf GTV. So, what you get is a blisteringly fast car that, in this case, looks a lot better than the Golf. That said, so does a hangnail. Thing is, the 170 brake horsepower in diesel we have here is good for the 0-62 run in 8.2 seconds and [unk] 133 miles an hour. But-- I hear you say. "That's not fast at all." Well, on paper, you're right. However, once you actually get in the thing, and stick your boot down, oh, it's quick. It's really, really quick. You see, FR+ Leons are the best-performing SEATs you can buy. Yes. The Leon Cupra R has more power and is faster, but this has far more balance, and it's more controllable. It's actually the perfect mix of chassis ground. Also, a vaguely superpower note is the fact that its power and talk are delivered through the front wheels and they don't spit the car off the road. And that's all down to a trick electronic XDS differential. It essentially uses electricity-- and well, magic-- to keep you stuck to the road. It's pretty impressive. So, on the speed front, it pretty much whoops The Flash. The Flash, in fact, can suck it. And also, as in as Red Spandex is this season, we much prefer the look of the Supercopa. It's more threatening. It's angry. She's an angry car. We like angry cars. We like them-- of course, love, actually. Anyway, before we finish on a fade to a comic book-style in the end panel, we have one more challenge for Leon Supercopa.

Everything You Never Knew You Wanted to Know About Berlin
Here´s an event to look forward to: Berlin Art Prize exhibition and awards ceremony at the historic Kühlhaus (cold store) at Gleisdreieck in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
After the closed (sic!) opening ceremony on June 14th – with the usual line-up of events including the awards, the opening of the exhibition, the after-party with a music medley by a prime selection of DJs, and the performances – on June 17th, the event is going to become available to all and sundry and shall remain so until June 28th. For free!
Our two particular favourites on the list of events for that week and a half at the Kühlhaus Berlin are obviously the presentations of the Berlin Art Prize nominees on June 24th (7PM) and the enigmatically sounding night of "the supernatural performance by internet healer Labanna Babalon".
For further details (names of the nominees, members of the jury, dates and hours of the events), please visit their official page by clicking the image below.

For most of the twentieth century, traditional mass media has had a prodigious and ubiquitous effect on the political process in America. For the most part, students were omitted from these institutions. Now in today's digital society, Web 2.0 has become, in many ways, the new mass media. Now, students are not excluded. We can not be excluded. We are the generation of Web 2.0. We are Web 2.0.
Professor Burton's lecture on Digital Activism and the remix culture influenced me to use the new digital tools available to consume, create, and share a message that I believe to be of great importance.

If you're covering the Super Bowl on Sunday instead of watching it (or just watching the commercials), you probably know the correct style to use for every player and play. In case you're not a sports reporter and may end up writing about the game, the fans or the players anyway, here's a quick look at some common football terms from the Associated Press Stylebook.
Some football positions:
Cornerback, defensive end, defensive tackle, fullback, halfback, left guard, linebacker, lineman, running back, quarterback, tailback, tight end and wide receiver.
In a 2012 Super Bowl style guide, the AP advises:
Spell out a player's position on first reference. In follow-ups, mix in QB for quarterback, RB for running back, FB for fullback, WR for wide receiver, TE for tight end, DE for defensive end, DT for defensive tackle, LB for linebacker or CB for cornerback (though never just corner).
Some game terms:
Blitz, out of bounds, end line, end zone, pitchout, fair catch, place kick, field goal, play off (verb), playoff (noun, adjective), goal line, goal-line stand, halftime, handoff, kick off (v.), kickoff (noun, adjective), touchback and touchdown.
According to the AP on phrasing: "yards passing, yards receiving, touchdowns rushing, etc. Not passing yards, receiving yards, rushing touchdowns."
Years vs. Roman numerals:
Use the year the game is played.
Except in formal reference as a literary device, pro football Super Bowls should be identified by the year – not the season – played, rather than the Roman numerals: 1969 Super Bowl, not Super Bowl III.
Also, use figures for yardage and yard lines.
Don't use 'fumblerooski:'
Finally, from 2012, a few more distinctions:
A field goal clears the crossbar, not the goal posts.
Avoid "Hail Mary." Use desperation pass instead.
Don't use "fumblerooski" for a strange turnover. Describe the play.
It's end zone, not pay dirt.
No such thing as a "forward lateral." A lateral is tossed sideways or backward.
Only a quarterback gets sacked. Other ball carriers are tackled for a loss.

dr.fone - Recover (iOS)
Recover deleted data from iOS devices, iTunes and iCloud backup files.
If you are a loyal Apple fan, it is likely that you might have encountered the infamous white screen of death at some point. This bothersome glitch appears most commonly after a hard impact, but it can also come about from an unfortunate software error in an Apple device (e.g. iPhone 7, 7 Plus, SE, 6s, 6s Plus, iPad, iPod, etc.).
For those who are lucky (or careful) enough to avoid the Apple white screen of death, hooray! Unfortunately, for the rest of us, this glitch can be a highly annoying problem; it locks users out of their device, and effectively transforms any Apple gadget into a glorified paperweight.
Do not lose hope, however. Here I am going to show you 4 solutions to fix iPhone white screen of death:
If you are looking for a fuss-free way to your 'white screen' woes, dr.fone - Repair (iOS) can help! This software caters to all problems relating to iOS devices and capable of providing a quick-and-easy fix to the white screen problem.
More importantly, you don't have to worry about backing up your data before starting the repair process; dr.fone's software helps to protect your precious messages, contacts, music, videos and more!
Fix iPhone white screen with no data loss!
Step 1: Download and install dr.fone to your PC. Upon completing the installation, connect your iOS device to your computer and launch the dr.fone program.
Step 2: From the main window, select 'Repair'. Click on 'Start' once your device has been detected.
Step 3: dr.fone will begin the repair process by downloading the latest iOS firmware. Simply hit 'Download' and wait for file to complete.
Alternatively, you can perform a manual download, before clicking 'Select' and importing the relevant firmware package that matches your iOS device.
Step 4: As soon as the firmware download is completed, dr.fone will enter the final recovery process for the 'white screen' glitch. And within 10 minutes, your device will be repaired and ready for use!
It's just that simple! By following the above instructions, your iOS device should be up and running in no time. And all your contacts, messages, photos and other precious data are still intact on your device. Also, dr.fone can help you recover data from broken iPhone which is beyond repair.
Despite being a much derided piece of tech advice, 'turn it off and on again' is often a surprisingly effective solution for most minor glitches. iPhones are no exception as a hard reset can be used to recover a frozen device with ease.
Here are the steps needed to perform a force restart in the event that you encounter a white screen glitch.
When encountering iPhone white screen, you can try to restore you iPhone with iTunes. Now let's check the following steps to restore iPhone and fix the white screen issue:
Note: This method will clear all the contents and settings on your iPhone.
Performing a hard reset might be a simple way of resolving common iPhone issues, but what if your mobile still refuses to work? Answer: Try booting your gadget in Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode.
As its name implies, DFU mode is typically used to modify the firmware of a mobile phone. For instance, if you wish to install a custom firmware (or hush hush, perform a jailbreak), DFU mode will come in handy.
In this context, DFU mode can be used to restore an iPhone with a previous backup, or to restore factory settings. Be warned though, the latter will result in a complete reset of your phone's data (contacts, videos, images, etc.), so always remember to make a copy first!
With that said, here's how to enter DFU mode:
Note: Normally, we can enter DFU mode to fix white screen of death. But this method will clear all your settings and data on your iPhone. And you are unable to backup your iPhone when it stuck in white screen. Therefore, dr.fone's solution in Part 1 might be a better choice since it can save your precious data.
As the famous proverb goes: "Prevention is better than cure".
Sometimes it's simply better to take care that a problem does not occur, rather than spending precious time and effort on solving it. dr.fone has these simple tips to share that will save you the pain of having to repair a damaged iPhone:
Tip 1: Reducing your phone's exposure to environmental stress is a surefire way of keeping it safe. Damp surroundings and dusty spaces are some physical risks that you should guard against as they can result in the 'white screen' problem, among other handphone woes.
Tip 2: Another common problem that smartphone users should watch for is overheating. Warm environments aside, this issue comes about when there is extra stress on the battery or other hardware resources of a smartphone. Be sure to give your phone a break every now and then by shutting it down!
Tip 3: Protective accessories, such as a simple cover, can help to prolong the longevity of your smartphone. Cases with extended edges can help to cushion the impact of a fall and reduce the chances of hardware damage occurring.
Tip 4: Software glitches are another common reason for the 'white screen' problem, and they appear more frequently in iPhones running earlier iOS builds (i.e. below iOS 7). Therefore, one effective preventative measure is to simply keep your iOS devices updated with the latest software.
Recover deleted data from iOS devices, iTunes and iCloud backup files.
Repair your iOS system issues at home, without data loss.

Is fanfic the new folklore?
That's the thought that's been pacing in my skull for seven days (and counting). Ultimately, my answer is probably no. But I can't stop thinking about fic in relation to other things. I've spent half a decade avoiding fan-communities/works, because as much as I love it all, getting involved is hugely invasive and hungry for attention–and then Mjolnir struck me in the ribcage, cracking it open for heart-access, and when I got up, it was with obsession. The THOR/Norsk fandom wriggled in past my cracked ribs, crawled up my throat, and eventually settled in with my (very few) intellectual faculties.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about folklore, and literature, and the headstrong crossover between the two, mythpunk*. With the appearance of an old obsession (fanfic/art), all these electrochemical signals naturally collided with all the force of mid-Ginnungagap (am I giving myself too much credit? I am.), and I began noting the similarities between fanfiction and folklore.
(Warning: most of this is brain-vomit. I'm just letting my thoughts dance about unchecked.)
Obviously, there's a lot of fic that spins around rewriting lore, replacing traditional characters with, say, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin; tweaking gender roles; contorting tropes to better fit plotlines and character arcs; and, of course, the addition of lots (and LOTS) of sex (not that folklore shies from fucking–it just tends to be more graphic and long-winded in fanfic). This use of lore is especially prevalent in the THOR fandom–which is only to be expected, given the source material, though in this case, replacing the characters isn't always necessary. However, the re-imaginings are frequently slant, are often re-imaginings of re-imaginings, as a lot of fic is based on the movies, which are based on the comics–etc, etc, you know what I mean; stories are reincarnations of stories are reincarnations of stories; it's just the nature of the beast…
Anyway, my point is folklore can be like fanfiction: a retelling.
Call them tropes, stereotypes, fanon, canon, tale-types, or motifs plucked from the Aarne-Thompson Index–fanfiction, like folklore, is full of repetition, darkened mirrors, and doppelgangers. Think of the endless pairings, the descriptions (hurt/comfort, angst, AU, PWP, etc)–they're all filters, methods for us to pick and choose how we like to feel. To find a new iteration of the familiar. I often read fanfic for the experience, to get that certain clutching of the upper-chest and throat, to find an emotion catharsis, to experience the characters I obsess over, until they're more, deeper, than obsessions–until they become human.
Perhaps that's elevating fanfic too high. But maybe not. What do we seek in fanfic? Humanity–a potent, emotive dose of humanity. And isn't folklore for learning about humanity, for feeling it like a punch to the gut? The stories aren't always right, sometimes they say wrong things, and in this way, reveal the many, amazingly snarly, nasty truths about the nature of human creatures–but all the repetition that occurs in lore, all the circling, all the characters with news faces, but familiar hearts? Sometimes, it's all just the human-beast's collective voice speaking to us.
So maybe folklore and fanfic are just two different voices speaking to, and of, the same spinal things in us. Folklore's a primal, bone-fed voice; fanfic is a spitfire tale-spinner that feasts on and subverts our memetic hearts.
*For the record, I don't think mythpunk has much to do with the bridge between fanfic and folklore, as I don't feel that bridge is particularly anarchic in nature. But mythpunk's been on my brain, so I mentioned it. I think the reason it came to mind is that there may be a parallel relationship between mythpunk and myth-driven fanfic (mythfic?)…

The Need for Cultural Sensitivity in Multicultural Special Education
July 7, 2011
The Need for Cultural Sensitivity in Special Education
Teachers in this changing multicultural society need to be aware of challenges in teaching English Language Learners as well as African-American students. Labeling students immediately as having a learning disability is a disservice not only to the student it is affecting, but also the entire school system. Teachers must learn to incorporate multicultural activities into their teaching style, which would allow them to connect with as many of their diverse students as possible. "For many multicultural learners, the noble ideal of leaving no child behind has not yielded the desired dividends in general and special education."(Obiakor 148). I believe that students of all ethnic backgrounds would benefit from their teacher being more sensitive to their diverse cultures and backgrounds. Festus E. Obiakor's article regarding" Effective Intervention for Today's Schools" portrays a 9 year-old student named Ricardo whose teacher does not understand his culture and diversity. Ricardo spoke English with an accent, and had a hard time relating to his classmates. The teacher actually had made a note that he was trouble and did not get along with his peers (148). Ricardo was ultimately labeled as having a behavior disorder and was put into a special education classroom. Unfortunately, this is an alarming trend that is occurring in our nations

schools. "Students learning English were disproportionately identified as having a disability in the three largest urban districts."(Turnbull 79). Obiakor notes in his article, that according to the U.S. Department of Education in 2001 that although Hispanic students made up 4% of the general public school enrollments, there was a national average of 14% of these...

Doc Wagamon did not have to write in for publication. This time he was written up in an off-the-opinion-page story reported in the Huntsville Item, honoring his World War II service, with a sentimental twist.

Unique reunion makes everyone happy at HEARTS Veterans Museum
By Brandon K. Scott Staff Reporter
Charles Wagamon, left, leads Linda Woltkamp and her
brother Tom on a tour of the HEARTS Veterans Museum.
HUNTSVILLE — One of the things on Linda Woltkamp's bucket list was to finally meet her father's pilot from their days serving in the United States Army Air Force during World War II.
Woltkamp's father Fred died nearly four years ago, but not without making it known to his children that former Walker County Judge Charles Wagamon was "the one who brought him home."
Wagamon and Fred Woltkamp, members of the B-25 Mitchell Bombers that carried out missions over Italy and Germany, never saw each other after the early 1940s. But the two kept in touch for more than 50 years, even up to just two days before Woltkamp's death.
Letters were exchanged and phone calls were made throughout the years. Linda and her brother Tom finally met Wagamon in person Friday for a tour at the HEARTS Veterans Museum in Huntsville.
The Woltkamp siblings flew into Houston from out of state — Linda from Denver, Colo., and Tom from Kansas where their father lived.
Both of them told the Item how their father spoke highly of his days as a tail gunner on B-25s with Wagamon and the rest of the crew.
Woltkamp trusted Wagamon with his life.
"Otherwise we wouldn't be here," Tom Woltkamp said.
The meeting also meant a lot to museum founder Charlotte Oleinik, who started the museum to reach out to veterans' families and people who could appreciate their stories.
"I was just buying and collecting so many military items 20 years ago," Olenick said. "We just wanted the soliders to tell their stories."
Wagamon showed the Woltkamp siblings a photo of the six-person crew, lined up from tallest to shortest. He recalled how young the soldiers were, making decisions at age 17 that would impact the lives of people all over the world.
|Charles Wagamon's WW II B-25 bomber crew.
"It's just the beautiful thing about this generation," Tom Woltkamp said. "They did their duty, were very humble about it and didn't talk about it much. It's amazing to see what they've done with this museum."
As those born in the immediacy of World War II get older, it puts more perspective on life. That's why Linda Woltkamp wanted to scratch this particular item off her bucket list.
Wagamon is 89 years old, six months older than Fred Woltkamp.
"Fred was the youngest of our crew but he was bold. We all had to be," Wagamon said. "Even as Fred got older, he still maintained that same sense of humor. And his voice, when I heard him speak over the phone, I couldn't tell he was aging the way he was."
Wagamon pointed to the photo again.

He and his friend Fred Woltkamp flew bombing missions over Italy and Germany with the 486th Bomb Squadron of the 340th Bomb Group in the 12th Air Force.
Doc stayed on to serve a cold war warrior as well. We just found this 1956 photo, documenting his service, published in the Lubbock (Tex.) Morning Avalanche.

Thank you for your service. Way to go Doc!

i knew you'd come around
still least favourite sufjan album
Legitimately in my top 10 favourite songs OAT.
just heard about Little Brother recently
let's get it
holy shit this album is long but fuck it im goin in
edit: ok dis hard
time for j bole
Idk too much about these guys, Spillage Village, but the album features Bas, J. Cole, Earthgang and Quentin Miller so it was intriguing to get started on.
Revisiting this album this week because I enjoyed Fall In Love and Goldlinks features, and I thought why not go back and refresh myself on this album. I really enjoy it after coming back to it, idk why I didn't return to it earlier.
I would link DWTW but it has't come out on spotify yet
Death Grips - Get Got
first time listen
oh boy I hope it lives up to the hype, so far its great by the 3rd track
yo what did you end up thinking of the first two
also finally getting into the three amigos today
I really liked them. I thought before my listen of Aquemini that ATLiens was my favourite of the ones I had heard, but now I can say that's changed to Aquemini. Seriously all dope listens that I should probably cement with more listening but I have to get through Speakerboxx and Idlewild, idk if I should listen to idlewild cause idk if it's good or not
fucking why
Mostly because Slim Thug and Paul Wall are on it, but also because I wanted to see if RiFF RAFF is as trash as everyone says he is. I personally think he often is, but he's not bad on this song.
instrumental artists , hip hop rap main genre , experimental chillout

We need to have all competent marketers in our community running delegates in this critical phase up to the 1.0 launch! Its better to vote in too many and then vote out those who dont perform well enough later, so dont be afraid to vote right now, it will be worth it!
We're Stakeholders for Delegate: media.bitscapeand we approve this message.
I will vote for you as soon as the next client release comes out, I cant vote for anyone atm.
I would love to see a succinct list of the delegates that the "community" feels urgently need to be elected, and maybe a brief discussion of each. I think must here would find it helpful if the information was all in one place (a thread?).
I agree, we need funds and work done now, not later. If we had been a centralized company we would be going to investors right now offering them some percent of our company for cash infusion. I am trying this on a small scale, offering future delegate pay (given back 6-12-24 months from now) in return for capital now. Obviously it won't be huge sums, but I think if a lot of us pursued this strategy we could avoid sell-pressure (in fact increase buy pressure) and have the funds required to go full-steam on launch and the subsequent 3-6 months before all our competitors shape up.Maybe I am dreaming, I will know more next week, but for now I am fishing with optimism.
This is a very powerful way for delegates to plan for the future and explain that plan! I like it!
Did any of you check out the awesome BitShares Delegate Outlook Graph that roadscape made?
Some days being an aspiring 100% delegate feels a little like this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFntFdEGgwsIn DPOS we trust!
Haha, that's exactly right. Standing on the precipice before the abyss, reading cryptic how-to manuals, and then having to walk confidently out into the unknown.

Breakfast Buffet at Hotel St. Ellis
Published on February 28, 2013
The PHP3,490/night at Hotel St. Ellis includes complimentary breakfast for 2 people. Because we paid almost double the Ellis Ecotel's rates, we expected a better breakfast buffet. For starter, we ate in a real and air-conditioned restaurant. Although the morning breeze and the smell of the sea at Ellis Ecotel were both nice, their setup wasn't really inviting. In the case of Hotel St. Ellis, the ambiance of the restaurant matches the elegance of the reception area and our rooms. Plus, walang pagala-galang pusa for breakfast. Harharhar!!! :p
We were the first guests to arrive at 6 AM so we immediately grabbed the couch area.
The breakfast buffet may not be as extensive as those we had at Taal Vista and One Tagaytay Place, but there were definitely more food choices compared with Ellis Ecotel. The breakfast choices were quite ordinary though. Even with my eyes closed, I already knew that there would be tapa on the table. Surprisingly, they also served stir-fried noodles. Unfortunately, both were just so-so.
They also served a fish dish, but I find the smell too fishy. Tuyo lang ang masarap sa almusal, anober?! :|
Thinking that a fish dish is already weird, I was surprised to find another weird breakfast choice.
Who eats okra for breakfast? I even need to bribe my husband just to eat okra. But even if I normally eat okra, I don't think I'll do it for breakfast. I was actually thinking whether it is a tradition in Bicol to eat okra in the morning. Malay niyo baka parang taho o pandesal lang natin sa umaga sa Maynila. =)) Pero seryoso! OKRA!!!!! Haha! That's okra, right? It's not that it's granola bars in disguise. :p
I was hoping they would have pancakes, cereals or waffles. But only very few kinds of bread and limited choices of spread were available.
Almost everything was a let-down. Fortunately, there were a couple of things which balanced out our disappointment. First, their omelet was really good! We asked the chef to put everything on our omelet. Aside from the rich flavors, the eggs were perfectly-cooked.
Next are the fruits. Although the selection was a bit limited, the oranges, pineapples and watermelons were really good. The orange slices I had at Hotel St. Ellis were probably the sweetest (in a good way, of course) I've ever had. I even had to come back for more servings.
The brownies were quite good too. I kept on comparing their brownies with the ones baked by Joie. Joie's version goes beyond miles, but the brownies at Hotel St. Ellis were not that bad.
I fell in love with our hotel room. Sadly though, their breakfast buffet isn't included in my list of favorites.
