New year, new oath, new challenges
The Custer County Board of Supervisors kicked in the new year with formal Sine and Die proceedings Tuesday, re-electing Larry Hickenbottom as the board chair for 2013, and Mark Haynes as the vice-chair. "Are there any of you with special goals for 2013?" asked Hickenbottom at meeting's onset, "because I have one." Hickenbottom said he wanted the County to finish whatever steps it needed to take to be 911 compliant ... "So if you call for an ambulance, the 911 center will know where you are." Custer County attorney Mike Borders was rehired as the county's public attorney. Last year's contract actually expired Dec. 31, 2012. He accepted the position and will be signing a four-year contract for $50,000 per year. "We are fortunate to have two well-qualified applicants," said Broken Bow attorney Bill Steffens. Steffens served as the chairman of the judiciary policy committee making the recommendations. "The salary recommendation is not a net," explained Steffens. "From this they have to provide their overhead." He explained that as a rule of thumb, about half of what you take in goes out in overhead. Last year Custer County attended to 31 juvenile cases and 498 criminal cases, excluding trafficking. Gary Peterson also applied for the job. He has served Howard County as its public defender for the last four years. Borders also serves Valley, Sherman and Brown counties. The vote was four to two to re-offer the contract Borders. "There is no question in my mind, either would do a good job," said Hickenbottom. Also on Tuesday's agenda were reports from Zoning Administrator Darci Tibbs, and a year end report from the NE Department of Agriculture presented by Shawn Owens. According to Tibbs, 110 projects applied for building permits through the Custer County Zoning Commission generating $5,990 in fees. Of those reporting estimated construction costs, $8,900,421 in construction was launched in 2012. (Broken Bow Wind, LLC is not included in these figures). The Year end NE Department of Agriculture report noted that 103 noxious weed inspections were conducted with 17 complaints investigated. Owens also reported on the 'Sericea Lespedez' which is under consideration by the Nebraska Weed Control Association to be added to Nebraska's noxious week list. The plant currently exists mainly in southeastern Nebraska, but early reports say that it has the potential of invading 98 percent of Nebraska's lands. It is already considered an invasive or noxious weed in 31 states including Kansas and Colorado. It was first identified in Nebraska in 1974.

Searching for SACD
There are still plenty of SACDs out there if you know where to look
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
"So what's the deal with SACDs?" a friend asked recently. "I'm looking for a new disc player, but I never see SACDs in the stores. Should I even bother getting an SACD player?"
He had a lot of questions, and I answered them as best I could. I told him that the SACD format is still around and doing well. They aren't well-stocked at retail, but they're certainly available online. And in my friend's case, since he had a high-end surround sound system, I thought an SACD player would be a good investment.
An SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) can store much more digital information than regular CD, and labels have used that to good advantage. SACD releases generally have much higher sound resolution than the comparable CD versions. And they often have discrete 5.1 mixing (as opposed to 2-channel stereo), so what you hear in the left rear channel (for example) was meant to be heard there, not filled in by default settings on your receiver.
Most SACDs currently available are hybrid discs, which mean they have two layers of information: an SACD layer, and a regular CD layer. So you can play an SACD on most CD players until you're ready to upgrade.
So what's available on SACD? Not everything. Most SACD releases are those that take advantage of the increased audio quality the format makes possible, and therefore the music is generally that which would appeal to the audiophile. Classical and jazz recordings make up the bulk of the new releases, and remastered classic albums from other genres account for a large percentage, too. Live albums also benefit from the expanded soundstage SACDs offer.
So where to start? Here are some suggestions:
This is great reference site that is probably the best single source for SACD release information. You can search through almost 6,000 titles and reviews, and view lists such as top recommendations, recent additions, top sellers and more.
This superstore of classical recordings has a dedicated SACD section where you can find over 2,000 classical titles.
Speaking of classical music, whenever someone opines that SACDs are finished, I cite PentaTone Classics. They record specifically for and only release in the SACD format. Since their founding in 2001, Pentatone has been doing quite well, thank you, with over 170 active titles and more scheduled for release.
Concord, a respected independent jazz label, has several SACD remasters, including classical albums by Ray Charles, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Poncho Sanchez, and others. Recently, Concord purchased the classical and jazz audiophile label Telarc, and currently has almost 200 of their titles available in SACD format.
This audiophile label has been producing remarkable recordings and lovingly remastering classic albums since 1979. Their multi-channel SACD releases are equally stunning.
Universal offers SACDs of key classic titles from their Deutsche Grammophon, Mercury Living Presence and Phillips catalogs. They also feature SACD releases of Peter Gabriel, Sheryl Crow, Stan Getz, Marvin Gaye, Ella Fitzgerald & Louie Armstrong, The Who, Lee Ann Womack and other popular artists.
The other major labels and the larger independent labels also have SACD releases, although many aren't searchable by format on the labels' websites. But a quick search on a store site such as Amazon.com will pull up most of the SACDS currently available (a little over 4,000 titles when we wrote this post).

Dried Flower Wreaths
There are no products matching the selection.
Dried flower arrangements are a great alternative for consumers who want to be surrounded by the timeless beauty of flowers without the responsibility of watering. Our dry floral arrangements come in a variety of colors, sizes, and shapes to complement any living or commercial space. From wreaths to tabletop baskets, we have the arrangements that are sure to add a bit of nostalgic flair to any area. Buy our dry arrangements as a gift or incorporate them into your home as part of your decor. Let Kremp Florist guide you to the perfect cluster of dried flowers reminiscent of a meadow in fall.
Consumers opt to buy dried flowers over fresh flowers for many reasons. Low maintenance remains one of the main advantages of investing in dried floral arrangements. While fresh flowers require active care, like watering, dry flowers can be placed in an area for show immediately after receipt. Individuals also buy dried flowers because of their association with bygone eras. These flowers were widely popular during previous centuries, and their presence in homes often lends an air of tradition and vintage sensibility to a house's interior. They can also provide a bit of floral pop and color to a home through every season, even when fresh flowers would otherwise be unavailable. Flowers that have been dried give consumers a way to access the beauty of exotic flowers native to other parts of the world.
Generally, dry flowers can remain vibrant and beautiful for as long as a year. Some types of flowers may even retain their color and look for several years after purchase if they've been properly maintained and stored. Given their durability, dried flower arrangements rank as one of the most cost-effective and smartest solutions when shopping for flowers.
Support the longevity of your dried floral arrangements by carefully considering your display and storage areas. Optimal spaces to store dry flowers include those that are free from heat and moisture. Additionally, the room where you intend to keep your flowers should be thoroughly cleaned and protected against the intrusion of pests before the flower arrangement is set as part of your decor.
To ensure that your dried flowers look as beautiful as the day they were bought, limit their exposure to the elements. Direct sunlight can quickly fade the colors off of the petals of some species of flowers. Moisture, humidity, and heat can compromise the structure of the flowers and the stability of dry floral arrangements. Opt to display your flowers in well-ventilated rooms with cool temperatures. Giving your dried flowers room to breathe often results in better and longer display potential.
At Kremp Florist, we have dry floral arrangements to suit every occasion. Browse our online inventory to find the perfect dried flower wreath, bouquet, or tabletop arrangement as a gift or for your home. Order online or call us at 1-800-34-KREMP for the fastest service possible.

Black Friday Top 10 Tips to Help You Survive it!
The Day after Thanksgiving brings out every bargain shopper looking to find the best deal. Being prepared for this hectic day can save you time and frustration just by following a few simple guidelines. 1. Arrive to the stores early Lines at the stores usually start forming as early as 3 PM Thanksgiving Day. If you are after the limited quantity items, you need to be in this line. Some stores hand out vouchers an hour before the doors open. If you don't get that voucher, you probably won't get the merchandise. 2. Park close to an exit Find a parking spot at a local store that is not open for Black Friday. This way, you won't be stuck in the big rush of people coming in and out of the main store. 3. Dress warm and comfortable. This is not a fashion show. The people in line don't care what you look like. Ladies, leave the heels at home. Guys, don't fix your hair, your going to be wearing a hat anyway. Even if by some miracle, it's 50-60 degrees outside, it gets really cold when you're in line for 8, 10, or even 12 hours. A thick coat, thermal underwear, and a nice pair of gloves will help keep you warm. Two layers of socks and comfortable tennis shoes are a must. 4. Divide and Conquer What better way to plan your attack than at Thanksgiving dinner? Spread out the ads between family and friends, decide who is going to what store and make a list of what everyone wants. Each person buys everyone's items and then you all meet up afterwards. 5. Shop Online Many of the sale items will be available at the same Black Friday price online Thanksgiving Day. Purchase as many items as you can online and get the remainder Friday morning. 6. Make a "Dry Run" the night before Thanksgiving About an hour before the store closes on Wednesday, go to the store and spot where everything is that you want to buy. Some stores, especially Best Buy, set up a checkout maze consisting of 4 foot high DVD players, TV's, and other miscellaneous merchandise. One wrong turn could easily cost you an extra 45 minutes in the checkout line. 7. Leave the kids at home Unless you've taught your kids to get the deal no matter what (which is probably bad parenting anyway), leave the kids with a babysitter or family member. There are a lot of people at the stores that will be more willing to trample your child than help them off the ground. Standing in line for 10 hours is not fun for an adult, what do you think it's like for a child? 8. Protect your money Although big sales attract loads of shoppers, they also attract loads of thieves. Ladies, leave your purse at home. Bring your ID, credit cards and/or cash and keep it close to you. Guys, with 2-3 layers of clothing, it's harder to feel a thief lift your wallet while you're not paying attention. Keep your wallet in your front pocket. 9. Make friends with others standing in line Having a good conversation with someone standing in line can pass the time fairly quickly. Not to mention, if you have to run to the bathroom because you just drank an entire pot of coffee. Your newfound friend will probably be willing to hold your place in line, especially if you're willing to return the favor. 10. DON'T bring alcohol to a shopping frenzy Sure, adding a little something extra to your coffee may seem like a good idea, but there are police officers standing at every corner. They walk up and down the line to see what people are doing. They won't have any problem hauling your butt off to jail because you decided to handle line jumpers your own way. If fighting the crowds is not your style, you can always buy many of the items on your wish list online. Many shoppers don't realize that beginning Thanksgiving Day around midnight, retail stores automatically adjust the prices to reflect Fridays' sale. Simply purchase what is available online, and then decide if you want to pick them up later in the day, or pay a little extra to have it delivered to your front door. Written by Anthony Luna.

November in New York City November hosts several big events in the Big Apple, such as the New York City Marathon and the New York Comedy Festival. And with the holiday season is fast approaching, the city is alive with the excitement of both Thanksgiving and the upcoming Christmas holidays. From the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to the unveiling of the legendary holiday storefront windows, November is a beautiful time of year to experience the magic of Manhattan. New York City Marathon This annual event which takes place the first Sunday is November has evolved over the last few decades from a modest few dozen runners to the largest marathon in the U.S. The course runs through all five boroughs in New York City, with the finish line located in Central Park. Over two million spectators fill the city to cheer on their favorite athlete, and the event is watched by an estimated 315 million viewers around the world. Entry to the New York City Marathon is gained by a lottery system due to its massive popularity- more than 100,000 people apply each year. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. takes place on the fourth Thursday in the month of November, and lucky travelers who are in Manhattan at this time should check out the incredible spectacle that is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This annual Thanksgiving Day tradition is a popular destination for travelers and home-grown New Yorkers alike. The colorful festivities get started at 9a.m. at 77th Street and Central Park West, and the best place to watch the parade go by is between 61st and 72nd Streets on Central Park West. Arrive early for an optimal viewing area and remember to bundle up. For more detailed information on the parade route, visit the official Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade website.

Timeless Football Wisdom Football FAQ: So You Won't Look Too Stupid Watching Football With Your Date
What are the positions in football? There are two types of position, an offensive position and a defensive position. One of the most essential offensive positions is the quarterback. The protectors of the quarterback are the offensive line. As an additional protection there are the running-the-ball positions of running back and fullback. These positions are located in the backfield, behind the quarterback. The last offensive position is the wide receiver. This position has the main objective of receiving (catching) the ball when the quarterback throws (passes) it.
The defensive positions are: defensive end, linebacker, cornerback, and safety, who has the last thing to say about defense. Safeties are located at the back, while the defensive ends are out front. What does each position in football do? Offensive positions are: quarterback, offensive line, running back, fullback, and wide receiver. The quarterback is the leader of the team. He gets the ball at the beginning of each play and he makes the decision whether to throw the ball or run it. The offensive line's job is to defend the quarterback or the running back, especially while they have the ball. Another thing the offensive line does is block or catch passes. Running backs and fullbacks are the major hurrying unit. The wide receiver is the one who will usually catch the ball when the quarterback throws it. He must be tall and quick.
cannot be used to move the ball. Later, rugby came into popularity, wherein the hands are allowed to be used. American football has been widely influenced by rugby, and is known throughout the world today as (guess what) "American football." Where did they get the shape of the football? The shape of the football comes from the shape of the ball in the game of rugby. Football has an elongated ball with pointed ends. The ball is perfectly designed for the player to hold it easily and have a nice aerodynamic motion when it is perfectly thrown. It also has an unpredictable bounce when it hits the ground. The ball is eleven inches long and about nine inches wide. All of the manufacturers put some laces on one side so the players can grip and hold it easily. This is the reason why rugby and football have almost the same shape of ball, in contrast to soccer, which has a round ball that is manipulated mainly by the feet.
Defensive positions are: defensive end, linebacker, cornerback, and safety. The defensive ends are the outer part of the defensive team. Linebackers are the most important line-up of the defense. They are the quick, hard hitters. Cornerbacks are in charge of defending the wide receiver so he can catch the ball and run with it, while the safeties guard and defend the cornerbacks. Where did the name football originate? A form of football called harpaston was first played by the ancient Greeks. In the United States it was played as early as 1609 in Virginia, though in a simpler form. For the ball, they used the inflated bladder of a slaughtered pig. Most "football" today is played in Europe and South America, and is the sport that North Americans call soccer. Football got its name because in soccer the hands Written by sschelum44.

Understanding The Holiday
Thanksgiving to most folks means family and friends and Turkey, or maybe beer and football. Many do not know or even care about the significance of the Holiday. Way back in the 1600's a group of people who were members of the English Separatist Church (Puritan's) in England fled their homeland to escape religious persecution. They boarded a ship and sailed to Holland in the Netherlands. In Holland the people enjoyed a brief time free from the religious persecution they faced back in England, but they soon became frustrated with the Dutch peoples bad morals and what they considered sinful lifestyles. Seeking yet a better way of life, the Separatists made a deal with a stock company in London to finance a trip to America on a ship named the Mayflower. There were others from England that were not separatists, in fact the majority that made the trip on the Mayflower were not. The group arrived in America on Dec 11, 1620 and they set ground at Plymouth, Massachusetts. The first winter season the pilgrims encountered in America was horrible. With extreme cold and blizzard conditions, they lost 46 of the original 102 who came over on the Mayflower.
But the spring and summer of the next year was wonderful with most of the days pleasant and nice and most of the pilgrims staying healthy. The local indians showed them where and how to hunt and trap for the available game, and shared their secrets on growing and storing of the native crops. The harvest of 1621 was very bountiful and the pilgrims along with the local indians who had helped them survive their first year, decided to have a huge feast to celebrate and give thanks. The feast or as it's commonly called 'The First Thanksgiving' was probably held outside on handmade tables and benches, most of the people sat on blankets on the ground while eating, because records show that the colonists didn't have a building large enough to accommodate all the people.
From an original letter of a member of the colony, Edward Winslow, here is the actual account of the First Thanksgiving celebration: "Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, Many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest King Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captain and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty."
From the hand written letter we can see that 1 Indian Chief or King and 90 others (91 total indians) that were invited as guests attended the event along with the pilgrims, and that the feast or celebration lasted 3 days. The celebration or feast was not repeated again until the year 1623, when during a severe drought the pilgrims all gathered and prayed for rain. The next day, a long steady rain occurred, and Governor Bradford proclaimed another day of Thanksgiving, and again the pilgrims or 'colonists' invited their indian friends to celebrate. The next Thanksgiving celebration did not occur until the year 1676, when the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting on the best way to celebrate and give thanks for the good fortune their community had experienced. By voting, they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29th as a day of Thanksgiving.

Other dates that were important to the Thanksgiving Holiday were October of the year 1777, when there was a Thanksgiving holiday that was celebrated by all 13 colonies that had been established. In 1789 George Washington proclaimed a national day of Thanksgiving, and after a campaign of letter writing to presidents and governors, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving. The date was altered a couple more times, but finally in 1941 it was sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, on the fourth Thursday in November, where it remains yet today. Written by Robert W.

Turkey: The Old-Fashioned Way
There are many delicious ways to prepare and serve turkey. It might be deep-fried, brined, poached, grilled...to mention just a few methods of preparation. This article, however, will focus strictly on tips and techniques for preparing perfect turkey the old-fashioned way – oven roasted. Basic Technique for Roasting a Turkey... 1. The safest method for thawing a frozen turkey is by allowing the turkey to thaw in the refrigerator. Be certain to plan ahead...it will take approximately 3 days for a 20 pound turkey to defrost.
8. Set the roasting pan on the lowest rack of the oven to keep the turkey away from the top, which is the hottest part of the oven. 9. Once the turkey is cooking in the oven, resist the temptation to 'peek' inside by opening the oven door. Opening and closing the oven door will cause the temperature to fluctuate, which will only increase the likelihood of a dry turkey. Avoid opening the oven door until approximately 45 minutes before the turkey expected to be done.
2. Everyone wants to prepare enough turkey for the number of guests they serve, and generally desire to have some turkey left over. To determine the correct turkey size that will be needed, see the section below entitled 'How Much Turkey is Enough?'
10. After checking for doneness (see 'When is the Turkey Done?' guidelines below), remove roasting pan from the oven, tent the turkey with foil and let it 'rest' for approximately 15 minutes before carving (see tips on 'How to Carve a Turkey' below). If additional time is needed to prepare gravy, heat up side dishes, etc., the turkey may be allowed to sit at room temperature (covered) for up to an hour without losing too much heat.
3. Cooking time will differ depending on whether the turkey was purchased fresh or frozen. Calculate approximate cooking time in a 350F (175C) oven based on the following: 20 minutes per pound for a defrosted turkey, and 10 to 15 minutes per pound for fresh.
11. Refrigerate any leftover turkey within 2 to 3 hours of preparation. Store in airtight, shallow containers to allow adequate circulation of cool air; date and label the containers. Turkey may be safely stored refrigerated for approximately 5 days and frozen for up to 4 months.
4. A turkey will cook more evenly if it is not densely stuffed. As an alternative, flavor may be added by loosely filling the cavity with aromatic vegetables and/or fruit -- carrots, celery, onions, apples, oranges, kumquats or garlic. Carefully tucking fresh herbs underneath the breast skin will also add flavor.
How Much Turkey is Enough?
5. Before roasting, coat the outside of the turkey with vegetable or olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 6. For even roasting, it is best to truss the turkey, and especially so if roasting stuffed poultry. (See 'How to Truss a Turkey' below.) 7. Set the turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan to promote maximum air and heat circulation and to ensure that it cooks evenly. To yield moister, juicier white meat, place the turkey 'breast-down' on the rack. This technique will prevent the turkey breast from overcooking and becoming dry.
On average, to provide 2 servings of turkey for each guest (and allowing for leftovers), the suggested weights are as follows: 10 pound turkey for 6 people 12 pound turkey for 8 people 15 pound turkey for 10 people 18 pound turkey for 12 people 21 pound turkey for 14 people 24 pound turkey for 16 people - If you will be serving more than 16 guests (a recommended turkey size of more than 24 pounds), buy two turkeys that equal the total suggested weights. - If the recommended turkey size is less than 12 pounds, you may wish to buy a turkey breast to roast.
How to Truss a Turkey... To 'truss' means to secure poultry or meat into a compact shape. Trussing will ensure even roasting. The following technique is recommended when roasting poultry, especially a stuffed turkey. 1. To truss with string, take a piece of butcher's string about three times the length of the turkey. Place the turkey on its back, tail end nearest to you. Slide the string underneath so that it is cradling the turkey in the center of its back.
roasting; if they are clear, the turkey is probably done. (Try to insert the thermometer as infrequently as possible, to prevent the juices from escaping.) Another way of checking for doneness is to move the leg up and down. The looser it becomes, the closer it is to being done. How to Carve a Turkey...
2. Gently pull the string up the sides...then around the wings. Pull the strings toward you, close to the breast, so that the wings are held against the body. 3. Cross the strings at the base of the breast, then wrap each string around the end of a drumstick. 4. Tie the ends of the string together, cinching it tightly so that the legs cross. 5. Finally, lift the turkey so that the tail end is up and wrap the string around the tail. Tie the string, pulling tightly so that the cavity is covered by the tail.
To carve a turkey, it is essential that you use a sharp carving knife and a good, heavy-weight fork. The following instructions will make carving a turkey almost effortless. 1. Begin by cutting through the skin where the leg meets the breast. Pull the leg away from the body with the fork and continue to cut down, close to the body, to find the joint where the thigh meets the body. Pull the leg out further and slice right through the joint to remove the leg and thigh. 2. Place the leg skin-side down and locate the line at the joint where the thigh and the drumstick meet. Holding your knife along this line of the thigh, you can slice easily through the joint. If you hit resistance, adjust your angle and try again. Cut down through the line and separate the thigh from the drumstick. Repeat this process with the other leg.
When is the Turkey Done? You will want to test your instant-read or traditional meat thermometer a few days before preparing the turkey to ensure it is properly calibrated. Place the thermometer in a pot of boiling water. It should register 212F (100C) -- water's boiling point at sea level. If the reading does not reach the desired temperature, you will want to buy a new thermometer. Keep a careful eye on the thermometer during the last half hour of cooking since the internal temperature may rise rapidly toward the end. Using a meat thermometer, test for doneness in the thickest, meatiest parts of the turkey: Test the widest section of the breast near the wing joint; the temperature should be 165F (73C). Test the legs at the top of the thigh, near the hip joint; the temperature should be 180 (82C). If cooking a stuffed turkey, determine the internal temperature of the stuffing as well; it should be at least 165F (73C). If using an instant-read thermometer, insert it deep enough to reach the heat sensor (the indentation about two-inches from the tip). Also examine the juices and oils at the bottom of the pan that are released during cooking. If they have a pinkish tinge, continue
3. Remove the wishbone (actually the collarbone) from the turkey. Removing the bone will prevent it from splintering when you carve the breast meat. 4. Next, run your knife through the skin along one side of the breastbone. Then cut down along the ribs, pulling the meat gently away from the bones in one large piece, leaving behind as little meat as possible. 5. When you reach the wing joint, cut through it and continue to remove the breast from the body. Repeat with the other side. 6. Finally, remove the wings and slice the breast meat before serving. (For even, attractive slices, cut the meat against the grain.) So, there you have it...everything you need to know about successfully roasting a turkey. As you can see, preparing a turkey by adhering to the techniques above is not at all difficult. The small amount of effort you invest will be well rewarded when the final product reaches the serving table and your guests rave about how absolutely marvelous it is. Just remember one thing – serving a juicy, flavorful roasted turkey does not have to be reserved solely for the holiday season – it's wonderful anytime of the year. Written by Janice Faulk Duplantis.

What Happened After The First Thanksgiving?
Various stories of the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving exist. Some are conflicting while others have been greatly embellished. But, everyone concurs that the first winter at Plymouth was brutal, and deadly, with half of the colony losing their lives. It is not my intention to prove or disprove some of the stories told about that first Thanksgiving. Instead, I hope to share with you a story you may not be familiar with.
While there are many stories that have emerged around that first Thanksgiving, you may not have ever heard what you are about to read. It is more than a story. It is based on accounts from the diary of William Bradford, the first governor of Plymouth. Anyone who takes the time to read what Bradford wrote will not only learn a great deal about the early days of the Pilgrims, but, in many cases, gain an accurate and true account of what really happened. Some may even been shocked to find out that some of the things that have been told about the Pilgrims are absolutely false. What happened after the first Thanksgiving, after a very brutal and deadly year? The colonist decided to make a major change. They agreed that what had been set up was not working, and, that their very survival depended upon making a drastic change. Before they sailed to America, the investors financing the trip entered into a contract with the Pilgrims on July 1, 1620. It was a seven year partnership. In the contract, the investors were called, "Adventurers," while the Pilgrims were called, "Planters." At the end of the seven years, all profits would be "equally divided betwixt the Adventurers and Planters." The contract called for all property, as well as the fruits of all labor, to go into a common pool to be divided equally among all the Pilgrims. There was to be no private property. They called this arrangement a "commonwealth." Today, it would be easily identified and labeled as, socialism, or communism. But after that first Thanksgiving, the leaders of the colony decided to make a very big, and in their eyes, a very critical change in how the colony operated. Seeing the results of the commonwealth, they chose to replace it with a system of private property. In observing how the commonwealth operated, they noticed the resentment by those who were working very hard only to have the fruits of their labor given to others who chose to not apply themselves equally as hard.
The leaders realized that in a commonwealth society people could not be expected to do their best work without some personal incentive. The solution was more than just private property. Each family was assigned its own parcel of land to work. They not only kept and enjoyed the fruit of their own labor, but they could then market what they did not need. Bradford later wrote, "This had very good success, for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been." They began to set up trading posts with the Indians. With their profits they were then able to pay off their debts to the Adventurers back in London. And as you might imagine, news of their success traveled fast. Their prosperity began to attract more and more Europeans who also wanted to live in a society where there was promise and reward for hard work. The Great Puritan Migration began. Even though this account is rarely taught in schools, it was recognized by the founding fathers as they labored to put together a viable government and constitution more than 150 years later. The phrase, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" echoes what the Pilgrims decided to do. They worded it as, "the pursuit of happiness," not "the guarantee of happiness." One of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, James Wilson, who was later appointed as an associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, mentioned that critical decision by the Pilgrims. In 1790 he wrote, "The introduction of exclusive property immediately produced the most comfortable change in the colony, by engaging the affections and invigorating the pursuits of its inhabitants." On that first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims were grateful to God for all that they had. They were thankful to God to be alive. They celebrated their thankfulness to Him. And then they made a very important decision. A decision we ought to be very thankful for, and never forget.
Bradford noted this at length in his diary: "For this community was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort." He also referred to those who imposed such an operation, "vanity of that conceit...as if they were wiser than God."

Boston, MA The city of Boston is frequently referred to as the gateway to New England. It is the capital of Massachusetts, and the largest city in New England. There is plenty to do for young and old alike in Boston, making it a great destination for a holiday to New England. Boston lies on a peninsula, with the Massachusetts Bay on one side and the Back Bay on the other. It became one of the wealthiest cities in North America during the 18th and 19th centuries, which led to a great many cultural buildings being built during this era.

Random Facts
This month's random fact gives us further insight into one of Thanksgivings most mysterious culinary traditions Stuffing the Turkey.
Some of the first references to this rather bizarre practice are found in ancient Roman texts pertaining to cooking. After dressing out whatever poor animal was destined for the table they would stuff the main cavity with anything from old bread mixed with spices to another smaller animal! Strange as this practice sounds there is some common sense behind it. Stuffing the cavity helps to retain moisture and therefore should help to produce a juicier product.
Stuffing as it was known kept both it's name and it's place of honor at dining tables everywhere until the victorians took umbrage at the name stuffing. It was so offensive to them that they changed the name to "dressing" and served it on the side instead of the traditional form, still in the bird. That was the beginning of the end for poor stuffing! Before too long someone figured out that while it does not taste exactly the same, the bird cooks faster without stuffing and the stuffing it's self can be cooked separately and more quickly as well.
The real death nell of traditional stuffing however was not the Victorians changing it's name or some over worked cook conniving to same time. It was the USDA! They claim that stuffing your Turkey at Thanksgiving does not allow the temperature to get high enough to throughly cook everything, possibly resulting in, GASP!, food poisoning! So Stove top Stuffing is now the be all and end all of stuffing and not many people stuff their turkeys anymore. Sad but true!
So on Thanksgiving day before you tuck into your turkey, ham, tofurkey or whatever it is that your family honors the holiday by eating, take a moment of silence for the once great side dish stuffing, aka, dressing.

Old note on homework quizzes: In my class, we do a Homework Quiz every Monday. So for my calendar this lesson is landing on a Monday, so we will take about 10 minutes out of class to do that. I am not posting my homework quizzes at this time because I like to be selective of the problems I put on the quiz based on whatis happening in the classroom. If students are really struggling on a particular topic as a whole then I won't put that question on the quiz. Or if we have gone over a problem in class, I won't put that on the quiz but would probably choose a similar problem. So for minimal prep work, I would recommend having students do a written homework quiz. Just make a list of problems that you want to check in more detail and give students an allotment of time to copy down their work and answer for this problem. I also sometimes have students do their homework quizzes in their clickers. I will share an example of that, once one is made.

I plan to assign the polynomials test review for homework for this entire week. For my classes, we aren't going to have much time for in-class review leading up to this test. So students will be expected to complete their test review before coming to class on the review day and be prepared with any questions that they have.

Ryan Murphy Explains How Glee Will Go On Without Cory Monteith
"The right thing to do for the show, at least at this point, is to have that character pass."
A week after the death of Glee star Cory Monteith in a Vancouver hotel room, series creator Ryan Murphy gave The Hollywood Reporter some idea of how the show will go on without Finn Hudson. (It seems that recasting the part was never an option.) Glee's fifth season premiere has been pushed back to September 26, with production set to begin in August rather than the previously scheduled July. As for Monteith's character, Murphy said, "The right thing to do for the show, at least at this point, is to have that character pass. When we do the tribute episode to that character, we'll have to do it in a way where the cast members will not have to re-create feelings of grief that they've had this week — but do it in an upbeat way." That somehow upbeat episode will be the season's third, following a "long-planned" two-episode Beatles tribute that "will need to be tweaked slightly."

Fire Truck Fun!
|Fire Truck Fun!
|Red Valdez
|Zaibatsu Village in Residential District, Anywhere City
Fire Truck Fun! (known as Flame-It! on the PlayStation version) is a mission in Grand Theft Auto 2 given to protagonist Claude Speed by Zaibatsu leader Red Valdez. The mission is available from the top of the two green Zaibatsu phones in The Village of the Residential District.
The Scientists have developed a new Flamethrower which is being taken across town in a Security Van. Valdez tells Claude to jack a Cop Car to pull the Security Van over, then steal it. He then orders Claude to return the Van to the Zaibatsu Village. After he has delivered it, Claude brings a Fire Truck so the Flamethrower can be attached to it. He does so, and Red tests the new weapon out by having Claude kill 30 Rednecks (10 on PlayStation) at the Mobile RV.
Red Valdez: "Gecko! Red Valdez here. A new SRS Flamethrower is being transported across the city in an SRS Security Van - and I want it."
Red Valdez: "The Security Van has a new locking mechanism which can't be opened by conventional methods. The driver might be persuaded to get out by the Cops."
Red Valdez: "Okay, Gecko, here's the deal - steal a Cop Car."
(Claude jacks a Cop Car)
Red Valdez: "That's useful - a spare Cop Uniform. Nice fit!"
(Claude drives to the SRS Security Van and pulls it over)
Scientist: "Can I help you, officer?"
(Claude jacks the Security Van)
Red Valdez: "Excellent, Gecko. Bring the Security Van to The Village and park it in my Garage."
(Claude drives to Red's Garage and parks the car inside)
Red Valdez: "Fantastic, Gecko. This particular Flamethrower will only operate in conjunction with a Fire Truck. So what are you waiting for? Go get a Fire Truck!"
(Claude jacks a Fire Truck)
Red Valdez: "Bring the Fire Truck to The Village!"
(Claude drives to Red's Garage)
Red Valdez: "Super, Gecko! My Z-Technicians will have the Flamethrower attached in seconds."
Red Valdez: "Now the new Fire Truck is ready, let's put it to the test! Head for Mobile RV and barbecue at least 30 Rednecks!"
(Claude drives to the Mobile RV)
Red Valdez: "Great! Get cooking, Gecko!"
(Claude kills 30 Rednecks (10 on PlayStation) with the Flamethrower)
The reward for completing this mission is $30,000.

The Man Who Did Not Kill Hitler
Tormented Loyalty
There are few greater agonies in the world than that of divided loyalty. Especially is this true for most men when they reach the point of decision to follow a course of conduct which may lead to the destruction of their fatherland in order to assure the preservation of its soul and its ultimate rehabilitation as a member of world society.
This was the choice and the decision which confronted the members of the Resistance Movement in Germany in the Thirties and Forties, and it is the study of this conflict which forms the basis of Christopher Sykes's biography of Adam von Trott zu Solz. Mr. Sykes has written with infinite fairness, and great understanding and compassion. His book is one of the best to appear so far on the German Resistance Movement. It is remarkable both for sympathy and for honest judgment. It is, moreover, beautifully written.
The resolution of an individual or a group of individuals to resist tyranny and oppression by their own fellow-citizens presupposes a searching reappraisal of the meaning and interpretation of the term patriotism, which the dictionary defines as "love for, and loyalty to, one's country."
Those who banded themselves in Germany against Hitler had at the very outset to make clear to themselves how far their actions would cut across their traditional concepts of patriotism, how far they would go in the evolution of a new patriotic concept, and how far they were themselves prepared to be called traitors in the course of so doing. Some arrived at this clarity of thought at an early date, some at a much later period; some never achieved it and only jumped belatedly upon the band-wagon of Resistance at a moment when "treason was no crime" and might indeed serve to erase the stain which earlier Nazi associations had placed upon their records.
The number of those in Germany who saw clearly from the outset was pitifully small. When Hitler came to power in 1933 he had the support, either open or tacit, of the majority of Germans, a fact which certain schools of contemporary German historians are at pains to deny but cannot disprove. The parties of the Left were in opposition from the first. The Communists in absentia and the Social-Democrats by their active vote opposed the passage of the Enabling Act through the Reichstag, but apart from the Nazis the rest of the political parties, together with the Army and the Civil Service, representing "all that was best" in Germany, in varying degrees of hope or belief entertained the thought that Hitler must be given his chance, that he was ultimately expendable and disposable, and that in the meantime he might do something for Germany. They consoled themselves for the many aspects of the Nazi regime of which they disapproved with the age-old aphorism of political "realism" which acts as a cover for moral cowardice, that "one cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs."
It was against the general condonation, this mass…

Since then, system expansions have increased the length of the dual-lane system to 4.0 km (2.5 mi.). Operating in an underground spine, the current fleet of 49 INNOVIA APM 100 vehicles serve 15 stations. The system operates 20 hours a day with a nightly shuttle service, seven days a week, and moves in excess of 80 million passengers a year between the landside and international terminals and five airside concourses.

As a major research and referral center, the urologists at Wake Forest Baptist are experts in caring for the most complicated and difficult cases. So it only makes sense that patients also turn to them for common conditions such as urinary tract infection and enlarged prostate. Our physicians are experts in the full range of urologic conditions for both men and women. For example:
Painful Bladder Syndrome: Because its symptoms are similar to endometriosis, kidney stones and urinary tract infection, it takes the average patient five years to be correctly diagnosed. While interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome isn't curable, the condition can be effectively managed. With the right treatment, IC patients can get better. LEARN MORE HEREPelvic organ prolapse: Our surgeons specialize in using mesh to support the organs through a vaginal approach – reducing recovery time. Hospital stays average one to two days, compared to six days for traditional surgery. In addition, recovery times are cut in half, from four to two weeks.

I have started with Nagevi shoes in 2001 and have tried all of theri models. I have tiny feet so italian shoes are the only that fits me. I like the "low" trekking shoes for short hikes with light backpack.
I had about 6 pairs of Navegi shoes and I will always recommend them. Only the Nagevi IV had some problem with the sole and it broke after a month of use.

Materials: leather
Use: Hiking and daily wear
Break-in Period: One week
Price Paid: $35
For the last two years the only shoe outside of my trusty Birkenstocks that I would ever wear were my well worn Merrell Chameleons. Sadly, my Merrells reached the end of their days and when going to buy a direct replacement I found the Nagevi's for a great price so I decided to give them a try.
I must say I don't regret the purchase at all. Not the best trail shoe I have ever had but it still gives a very sure footing on any surface and stays comfortable all day. It is a little tight in the toe but nothing that doesn't go away after being properly broken in.

Helping your student face emotional difficulties: Resources for Parents
Communication with Parents
Eight rules for parenting a college student
Parents' guide for college eating
Although starting college is often a challenging transition for students to make, people sometimes overlook how difficult these changes can be for parents, as well.
Parents are expected to be strong and steady—a well of confidence and reassurance for their children. For many parents, however, there is an underlying uneasiness and deep lack of certainty during this time. The effort to manage these conflicted feelings can be emotionally exhausting and confusing.
One problem you will need navigate—and it's, perhaps, the most difficult one—is how you can most effectively and meaningfully participate in your child's college life without working against his or her developing independence and autonomy. The links on the left may provide you with some advice and assistance.

The low bidder on a project to supply the Phelps County Jail with a generator transfer switch wanted to know why his company was not awarded the bid.
Marty Elmer, of Central Security Enterprises (CSE), the low bidder, spoke with the county commissioners Thursday morning about their decision to award the bid.
At Tuesday's commission meeting, all three commissioners agreed to award the bid for the generator transfer switch to Live Wire Communications Inc. that submitted a bid of $45,298.75.
Live Wire was the higher of the two bids, which were opened Feb. 5. CSE submitted a bid of $39,845.
Normally, the commission awards the lowest and best bid, but Sheriff Rick Lisenbe wrote a letter, explaining his recommendation for choosing the higher bid "due to the emergency nature of the generator being down and our need to have it repaired as quickly as possible."
Lisenbe wrote that CSE indicated it could not respond to the sheriff's department's needs in the timeline that the department requested.
Lt. Matt Shults, who is responsible for the operation of the jail/transport division of the county jail, said he was told that CSE could not get the job done until September, but Elmer said Thursday that is not the case.
Presiding Commissioner Randy Verkamp said the timeline was a crucial factor in the commission's decision.
District Two Commissioner Gary Hicks agreed, saying, "That swung our thoughts from the lowest bid and to get it the quickest way."
No decision to overturn the awarded bid was made. It is not clear where the miscommunication occurred and Verkamp said he would like to know what happened.
In other business
Also at the meeting, county department heads and the commission heard from Edwin Van Weelden, of Anytime Fitness, who talked about the benefits Anytime Fitness can offer to county employees.
Additionally, it was noted that the county will hold a surplus sale, which will be open to the public Wednesday, April 17, and Thursday, April 18. People will have the chance to bid on surplus items from county courthouse offices.
The commission unanimously approved a final financial statement for the years 2010-12 for the county senior companions program. According to a copy of the statement, federal funds authorized and spent totaled $1,062,027.
The local in-kind contributions and donations for the program totaled $273,278.54, which exceeded the program's required share of $271,145. Jan Boatright, director of the Phelps County senior companion program, said her office is funded for 76 volunteers who serve about 400 people in the county.
