KENNETT SQUARE >> Thousands of people flocked to Kennett Square on New Year's Eve to ring in the new year as they watched a 500-pound stainless steel mushroom drop 85 feet to the ground at the second annual Mushroom Drop.
"The Big Apple will never compare to our mushroom," said Tim O'Brien of Kennett Square, just minutes after midnight. "It will never come close to the amazing wonder that happens in Kennett Square every year."
Though temperatures were in the upper 20s, many felt much warmer because of the crowd. Spectators were entertained by the musical group "The Funsters," who played hits from the 70s and 80s. As midnight approached, they played a rendition of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline," and the crowd sung along, and some danced on the street.
"We're a booming town and we're getting bigger and bigger," said Michael Uhle of Kennett Square, his first time at the event. "We're a happening town now."
Tom Friedman said he drove from Annapolis, Md. to see the Mushroom Drop. "It's just wonderful," he said.
Kennett Square Cpl. Richard Bell said there were police incidents. "Those in attendance seemed upbeat and just having a good time," he said.
Many of the merchants along State Street remained open past midnight. Fragale's Barber shop near Sate and Union streets offered hot chocolate, coffee, cookies and pizza to anyone who happened by. "This is a good community," said Barry Fragale.
Kathi Lafferty, organizer of the event, said she couldn't be more pleased with the turnout.
"I think everyone had a great time, and the weather couldn't have been better," she said. "The street looked pretty packed."
At about 10:15 p.m., a fire broke out at 200 East Linden Street, just a few hundred yards from the event. No one was injured, but firefighters battled the blaze right up to midnight. Matt Fetick, Kennett Square mayor, said many people were so caught up in the festivities that they didn't even notice the firefighters. "It required a lot of manpower," Fetick said.
Fetick said he met people who traveled from northern New York to see the event and they told him they bypassed Times Square to come to Kennett Square.
The event was funded by the Kennett Area Restaurant and Merchants Association, in conjunction with the Mushroom Festival, which had been soliciting donations for the past several weeks to pay for things like police and public works department service. The event did not cost Kennett Square taxpayers anything.
Food vendors included Dunkin Donuts, Hood's BBQ, Papa's Kettle Korn, Top Dog and Underground Donuts.
Even parking went without a hitch. Many parked at the Kennett High School parking lot, or the Genesis Building. Bus shuttle service was offered from nearby Exelon Corp.
The Kennett Square Mushroom Drop is one of several growing New Year's Eve events across the nation. In Tucson, Ariz. there's a 15-foot taco that is dropped, in Atlanta, Ga., an 800-pound peach is dropped, in Raleigh, N.C., a huge acorn is lowered down a pole, and in Bethlehem, Pa., a fiberglass peep is dropped from a crane.

Got Your Back
by Autumn Parker
I am a small and precious child,
my Daddys been sent to fight
The only place I will see his face,
is in my dreams at night
He will be gone too many days,
for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud,
my Daddy's got your back
I am a caring mother,
my son has gone to war
My mind is filled with worries
that I have never known before
Every day I try to keep
my thoughts from turning black
I may be sad, but I am proud,
my son has got your back.
I am a strong and loving wife,
with a husband soon to go
There are times I am terrified,
in ways most never know
I bite my lip and force a smile,
as I watch my husband pack
My heart may break but I am proud,
my husband's got your back.
I am a soldier;
serving proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine,
by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing,
the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I come home,
its me that's got your back

(TNS) — AUSTIN, Minn. — This goes without saying: Be careful with what you post.
The Austin Public Schools board approved a social media policy for its employees on Monday night, expressing that those who work for the district must present themselves professionally whether at school or on social media sites.
This marks the first time the district has had such a policy in place, said Mark Raymond, human resources director. The policy takes effect immediately.
"Just like any other policies, the idea is to offer guidance for employees," Raymond said. "That was why the document was put together and to answer any questions that do come up."
Some student organizations, clubs and athletic teams for the district are shifting their communication to social media. The guidelines would help set uniformity in how Austin schools are represented and address other issues, such as who handles accounts if a coach or advisor decides not to assume the responsibility.
Topics explored in the new policy include being transparent, respecting audience and co-workers, use of social media during district hours or on district equipment and representing the school district, whether using a personal account or a professional one.
"The lines between public and private, personal and professional are blurred," the policy states. "Just by identifying yourself as a district employee, you are creating perceptions about your expertise and about the district. ... (Be) ever mindful that in the minds of students, families, colleagues and the public, you are a district employee."
Social media platforms include Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and LinkedIn, as well as personal blogs. There's also language in the policy that describes the use of images and inappropriate language. The policy also explores possible disciplinary action and termination from employee positions if found in violation.
Addressing that social media usage for separate personal and professional use remains in a gray area, Raymond noted many school districts in the state still don't have specific social media policies in place, but he anticipates that will change.
"The school district is making sure we are doing our due diligence when we are producing our own net presence and social media presence," he said.

First of all, welcome to the IRMB (Infinity Ring Message Board). I'm Hazel.
There are a few basic questions that almost every new message boarder asks, so I'll provide all the answers here so you won't be confused.
1. What is Infinity Ring about?
Infinity Ring is a book series that revolves around three kids (aided by a group known as the Hystorians) traveling through time with a device called the Infinity Ring to stop the SQ and fix the Great Breaks in history. It honestly will make a lot more sense if/when you read it.
2. Why is no one responding to my posts?
Very few people are active on this message board. It could take hours to over a week to gain replies.
3. Why are very few people active?
3a. I've heard stuff about a war on this Message Board. What is that about?
This thread basically explains everything: http://infinityring.scholastic.com/forums/topics/212027
Please refrain from calling this Message Board a ghost town. While very few of us are left, we don't like being called that any more than you would if it were your own home MB.
And like Eagle Dragon said in his post, please do not have "restart the IRMB" campaigns. New people are always welcome, but we don't need a large community to be a happy one.
4. Who is Emerald? I've seen the words Remember Emerald in many signatures.
Emerald was a very popular message boarder who passed away.
5. I have issues with the Infinity Ring Games. Should I respond to the post the moderators made called "HELP! My game is not working?" or do something else?
Do not respond to the post. The moderators rarely (if ever) check this message board anymore. Instead, contact tech support for any issues you have. Simply hover over "Help" on the bar right next to Forums. There should be an option called "Contact Us". Click on it and fill out the form.
I think that's all the basics. If you have any questions about the MB, games, books, or anything else, feel free to ask me or any of the other active/semi-active MBers in our community.
Respect IR

Introduction & Exploration
BACH Cantata No. 140 "Sleepers Awake," BWV 140
"For a period of several years, Bach produced nearly one cantata every week…the 200 or so surviving sacred cantatas contain some of his greatest music, forged with a consistency of invention and inspiration that comes as close to perfection as it's possible to achieve. They lie at the heart of his output, capturing an astonishing range of expression and musical styles."
Jeffrey Kahane, "an impeccable technician… a conjurer of moods, a teller of stories," discusses the social history of Bach's times, providing an in-depth examination of the creation and significance behind this substantive body of work. The Orchestra and choirs perform excerpts from the featured cantata and others as illustration. After intermission, you'll hear "Sleepers Awake" performed in full.

Claudia Roth Pierpont's title is taken from George Gershwin's original name for his 1924 Rhapsody in Blue. He wanted to call the work American Rhapsody to convey the "musical kaleidoscope of America — of our vast melting pot, of our unduplicated national pep, of our blues, our metropolitan madness." Bursting with the energy and ecstasy of Jazz Age America, Gershwin's Rhapsody gave the American spirit a pulse.
A longtime arts writer for the New Yorker, Pierpont is the author of Roth Unbound: A Writer and His Books and Passionate Minds: Women Rewriting the World. Here, she tracks the American spirit in 12 essays that portray individuals who have created the books, songs, films and architecture "that have become the common air we breathe and that we call a culture." The result is a compelling group portrait of modern America.
The first profile is of Edith Wharton, who serves as a bridge to modernism. Wharton was a creature of the upper class who wrote fluidly about such "new women" as Lily Bart in The House of Mirth (1905) — young women drawn to New York by the promise of jobs and freedom in the early 20th century. Wharton's own economic independence allowed her to live an untraditional life, traveling in Europe, spending time with men she enjoyed and divorcing a husband she didn't. She won a Pulitzer Prize in 1921 for The Age of Innocence but thought her writing had become "the literary equivalent of tufted furniture and gas chandeliers."
She thanked F. Scott Fitzgerald for sending her a copy of The Great Gatsby in 1925. Fitzgerald gave voice to a decade that roared, and although Wharton continued to write, Pierpont describes her later efforts as "elaborately staged and stiffly posed tableaux vivants, like the frozen theatrical scenes put on at society parties in The House of Mirth."
Gatsby's author was the writer who defined America's Jazz Age. In 1924, the same year as the debut of Rhapsody in Blue, Fitzgerald announced to his editor Max Perkins that he was completing "the best American novel ever written." Twenty-eight years old when The Great Gatsby came out the next year, Fitzgerald was already a celebrity because of his two popular Jazz Age novels, This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and Damned. But Gatsby was a surprising commercial failure and achieved success only after Fitzgerald's death in 1940. His lasting importance, Pierpont suggests, grows from his relentless embrace of romance. In his final completed novel, Tender Is the Night (1934), Fitzgerald rhapsodized about ordinary places where "chicle factories fumed and link belts grew link by link in factories." He never stopped relishing the wonder of it all.
Another of Pierpont's revealing profiles describes an architectural "wonder" that sent the modernist spirit soaring. The Chrysler Building, completed in 1930, was the product of automobile titan Walter Chrysler's ego. He felt no embarrassment about naming the building after himself and saw it as a way to generate an "epic of publicity" for his business. Designed by William Van Alen, the art deco skyscraper featured a stunning crown made of always lustrous steel and a spire that was "cloud-piercing." Pierpont writes that the building's "illusion" was essential to its identity: The spire rises to "an impossible slenderness that disappears gradually, like a bird flying out of sight." The implication is that "somewhere in the empyrean, infinitely tall, the Chrysler Building is still rising."
Illusion as a profession is central to Pierpont's essays on Orson Welles, Marlon Brando and particularly Katharine Hepburn. Since Charlie Chaplin leapt off the screen and into the popular imagination in 1914, movie stars have been central to the evolution of America's personality culture. But box office popularity is a harrowing existence, as Hepburn's career testifies. She was a success in the early 1930s but lapsed into "box office poison" by 1938. Playwright Philip Barry soon rescued her with a Broadway success, The Philadelphia Story, and her then-boyfriend Howard Hughes lent her money to buy the film rights. The tremendous success of that film gave her economic independence and control over her career. Ultimately, Pierpont writes, Hepburn created an image that "embodied the most sought-after strengths of modern women ... intelligence, independence, gall."
Three of the 12 essays focus on important African-Americans whose careers spanned the century: performer Bert Williams, writer James Baldwin and musical legend Nina Simone. Each of their lives chronicles a search for inclusiveness in mainstream American culture. The idea of illusion was central to Williams' minstrelsy: Light-skinned, he "blacked up" to perform, a tradition Paul Laurence Dunbar described in 1896 as a mask "that grins and lies, / It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes."
Baldwin wrote about race and yearning amid the civil rights turmoil of the 1950s and '60s; Pierpont writes that although he often left the United States to live in Paris and Istanbul, the '60s "were inescapably Baldwin's decade." His bestsellers Another Country and The Fire Next Time landed him on Time magazine's cover in 1963.
Pierpont's concluding profile focuses on the remarkable but troubled Simone (1933-2003). She has recently been rediscovered, but not without controversy. A new biopic, Nina, stars Zoe Saldana, who is lighter-skinned than Simone. As Pierpont writes, "There is no escaping the fact that her casting represents exactly the sort of prejudice that Simone was always up against."
In one guise or another, illusion plays a central role in each of Pierpont's profiles. Her book is an ingenious and captivating way to spotlight the kaleidoscopic rhapsody of America's spirit.

In life, it's important to look spiffy for special occasions like job interviews, parties, or weddings. Unfortunately, not everyone has the means to do so. Animals, for example, may need a little help to look their nicest, which is why Mark Imhof set out to give shelter dogs the grooming they deserve.
After leaving his accounting job in 2015, Mark launched a dog-grooming business called "Mark the Dog Guy." His business provided him with a steady income, so he decided to volunteer his talents to local shelters and groom their dogs free of charge. It was actually his fiancée who came up with the idea of providing free makeovers after seeing the difference a simple bath made for one of their own two rescue dogs. After all, helping them look their best could give them a better chance of getting adopted by a loving family.
So far, Mark has transformed about 50 pooches in the New York City area, and his efforts are already paying off as many of the lucky recipients have already been adopted by doting families. Check out the pictures from Mark's Instagram account below to see his amazing work in action.
Be sure to SHARE these charming pooches with your friends and family!

text: So, the problem seems to be with two game's save files. JUS originally, and after I made the post found Puzzle Quest to have the issue. I narrowed it to the save files in that both games are missing their save files, and I can't write any to the card for those two games. All other games have their saves, and allow me to write new ones. I was using 4.6D loader when the problem started, and have since upgraded to 4.7a to see if it would help. I've also repatched the rom multiple ways, and rewrote the .0 save file, just whatever I could think of. I've had no problems with my G6's save files since I got it in december. To my knowledge, and to my grandmother's knowledge, this is unprovoked, however she doesn't fully understand the DS/G6, only how to click her game, so I can't be 100% on that. Is this a known issue, or is there any solution? Did I screw something up and just don't know it? Anything? Thanks.

It's a million motherfuckers out there that support this raw shit
All the time I'm thinking
Hoping my true motherfuckers know
That the house gang will never fall, never fall!
Against all odds I'm in my studio getting blow
The rap niggas is all I saw!
How I end up here?
Got the blueprint for Biggie and Ozz
Ghetto niggas go and pack them like the 50s and jazz
It's against all odds, should have been a gift shop broads
New niggas out here dressing like Nickie Minaj
Selling their soul to make it wealthy
Wearing women shirts on, and denim skirts on
Instagram taking selfies
I celebrate the minute you die
And I'll be here after the firework (5th of July!)
Here lies a fictional writer, considered a liar
Always rapping about trapping,
Or what an actress did on the wire
Then they ask me why I'm rapping like a killer for higher
Some niggas lock my homies in a trunk,
And lead it on fire!
You can hear my life pain in the way I spit
They don't give a fuck if a dj play my shit
I like my shit, put it in the club!
Hide my shit, I write my shit, real niggas recite my shit
In their labour they owe me, that ain't no least agreement
Please believe it, I got you on your knees and screaming
Looking like you're in a navy with a cold
Cause their dick so far up your ass, hoe!
You sneeze and see me
Then they put you on a single with the same niggas
On ... Man, you're just a bunch of lame niggas, yeah!
You're hot now, but holler with a shit ass
If I don't feel the music, I ain't rapping with your bitch ass!
And I bet I still won't come around broke
Riffles spitting hollow tits right of this hundred round broke
When I'm barely six feet deep, coping internal shit
And all makes sense, I'll be the underground go nigga.
Syllable king, lyrical drink, niggas be like typical means
I'm killing your dreams!
Pop you in your bed dosing
My shooters come out the closet quick as Frank Ocean
Got you! I'm looking at these lyric system them all
I'm taking you niggas to lyrical training
You ain't in my leaning
I'm giving a fuck if you think you're a star
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
I slip… when I set the Apocalypse off!
Shots kill it off, your life will get off
And it will be your own fault
Remember you're on road
Like a bitch with a dildo, you're digging your own hoe!
West Coast, my kingdom is there!
I've been underground for years
You think I would care
Cause main stream…
You'll be counting with one hand
Still have a middle finger to spare
Fuck 'em! I ain't hating, I'm just telling the truth
When I see a real mc, I tell them, "salute"!
Against all odds hoping my true motherfuckers know
That the house king will never fall
Against all odds I'm in the studio and bow
Watching rap niggas sell their soul!
Against all odds!
Yeah, yeah, nigga
House game, house game
Almighty house game!

6 Types of Kisses that Every Woman Hates
The first kiss is the most important thing when starting a relationship. You might be spending days in planning how to kiss your new girlfriend for the first time. However, the first kiss may not be as magical as you have imagined it.
While romantic and passionate kisses leave the girl desiring more, the bad ones can ruin the possibility of building a potential relationship, which is why you have to be aware of certain styles of kissing that every woman hates. Here are the worst types of kisses which you have to avoid.
6 Types of Kisses
Sloppy Kiss
This type of kiss is probably the most disliked one, so when you kiss someone, you should avoid trying to fit your entire mouth inside of hers. Start by kissing slowly and pace up after a while, but don't use too much force right at the beginning.
Suffocating Smooch
As much as you want to make a girl feeling breathless, you should avoid making her feel as if she is dying. So, while the two of you are kissing, you have to let her breathe.
The Biter
Biting can be good, especially if you do it gently and softly. However, you may bite only occasionally. Otherwise, you will scare her away.
Little Pecks
When you and your girlfriend are having a romantic moment, you shouldn't do little pecks. These kisses can kill the passion and make her bored. The little peck can only be good for a goodbye kiss.
Too Much Tongue
One of the biggest mistakes that you can do when you kiss someone is to use too much tongue. Kisses that involve using too much force with your tongue are huge deal breakers since they can make her want to throw up.
Dead Lips
While kissing, you should never let your lips stay still. If you do so, you will give her an impression that you are not that into her, and she will instantly lose interest in you.

The life of the famed newsman in front of and behind the camera.
On March 6, 1981, ABC News and NBC News did the unprecedented: They picked up the end of CBS' broadcast to catch Walter Cronkite saying, "And that's the way it is," one final time before he retired after 19 years headlining the CBS Evening News. Such was the pull of the anchor known as the "most trusted man in America" that even his competitors wanted to bask in his glory.
Written with the cooperation of his family and using personal papers and interviews (including every major living network newscaster), Douglas Brinkley transforms that two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional person in his sterling new biography. The Cronkite who emerges is ambitious -- a true news hound -- mindful of the responsibility that came with being a network anchor, politically engaged but careful not to appear partisan, quick to grasp that TV required an emotional connection with the audience. But he was no saint, capable of astonishing journalistic lapses -- bugging hotel rooms at the 1952 Republican convention or retaping his side of an interview with Lyndon Johnson to enhance his responses -- and more caught up in the ratings chase than is acknowledged. Cronkite is the model anchor and a reminder that the golden age of network news was not so different from our era.
Brinkley shows that Cronkite really became "Walter Cronkite" with his coverage of John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, getting on air first and famously choking up as he announced the president's death. The minute-by-minute recounting displays Cronkite at the height of his powers, mixing a beat reporter's eye for breaking news with a keen understanding of the emotional element of live TV. He invented the modern news anchor at that moment.
Cronkite also was a space junkie and became the go-to anchor during the moon race. His 1968 special report on Vietnam is widely credited with turning public opinion against the war. For Brinkley, Cronkite succeeded because he embodied the conflicted national consciousness of the '60s, professing to being "disappointed by the optimism" of politicians about victory in Vietnam in '68 while celebrating the '69 moon landing as the "golden age of American greatness."
During the '70s, Cronkite, fiercely competitive about ratings, was challenged by ABC's brash Barbara Walters. The book entertainingly chronicles their rivalry, like when Walters chartered a flight from Tel Aviv to Cairo in 1977 (the first since Israel's independence in 1948) to scoop Cronkite and her trying to barge in on his interview with President Ford at the 1980 Republican convention. Walters had him asking, "Did Barbara get anything I didn't?"
By the late '70s, talk of Cronkite's retirement was widespread. The network had an informal age 65 retirement policy, and there was a sense the newscast needed to be jazzed up to stay competitive. Succumbing to the implicit pressure, he retired at 64 in 1981, with Evening News first in the ratings -- as it had been since 1967.
Brinkley argues that though Dan Rather, Cronkite's successor, participated only tangentially in his departure, he wasted no time putting his own stamp on the program, providing some of the book's best comedy. Rather banished Cronkite's chair to the basement, but between Cronkite's last newscast and Rather's first, weekend anchor Bob Schieffer had it retrieved. When Rather discovered the switch, he refused to sit, even though the program was seconds from starting. Instead, he opened his tenure as anchor perched awkwardly on a typewriter table. Recalled Schieffer, "Dan looked like he was going to the crapper."
Without Evening News, Cronkite mostly disappeared from public view. Brinkley points the finger at CBS' shabby treatment of its icon in keeping him out of Election Night coverage and generally off Evening News (evidently under pressure from an insecure Rather) as a major reason for his low profile and an ongoing source of frustration for Cronkite. (Although Brinkley interviewed Rather, their feud is told from Cronkite's perspective.)
Only in retirement does Brinkley flesh out the private Cronkite, especially his growing political activism on everything from the environment to marijuana. Most marvelously, he reveals the anchor's unexpected friendships with people like Andy Warhol, Hunter S. Thompson and Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart.
At Cronkite's 2009 funeral, his friend, astronaut Neil Armstrong, captured the essence of his success: "For a news analyst to be successful, he or she needs three things: accuracy, timeliness and the trust of the audience."

|My latest acquisition over the last few weeks
It's Monday and it's time to syiok sendiri the books I bought between last month and this. I have been waiting for some time for Gretchen Rubin's Happier at Home (ISBN: 9781444757781) to be available on paperback, and I was beyond happy when I saw the edition at Borders with a discount! I've enjoyed tremendously her inspiring and very readable The Happiness Project (read my posts here). This time, Rubin takes it to the next level and goes deeper into matters for home. I read the first chapter "Preparation" while having dinner earlier tonight, and loved the recap and introduction to this new endeavor.
While reading Agnes Keith's Land Below the Wind which I bought during my Sandakan trip last weekend, I was inspired by her sketches and drawings. She had reminded me to start drawing again. I have my own sketch books and crayons and color pens and stuff. I wanted to draw but I don't know what to draw. Until I saw Michael Nobbs' Drawing Your Life (ISBN: 9780399161131). What's so great about this book is that it's a guided journal that encourages us to discover the meaning and joy in the mundane. I've finished reading the whole book, pending execution i.e. to actually DRAW in the book based on the suggestions on what to draw.
Speaking of the mundane, another book that caught my attention is Keri Smith's The Pocket Scavenger (ISBN: 9781846147098). There's nothing "mundane" about the book, but to "go on mini adventures no matter where they are, especially in the most mundane of circumstances." There you go. I was very attracted to this book the moment I saw it. I loved the idea! I'm planning to "integrate" the idea of scavenging with my upcoming vacation to Langkawi.
So... from the look of things, Drawing My Life and The Pocket Scavenger will definitely be following me everywhere I go, especially this Saturday when I leave for yet another weekend vacation trip. It's going to be exciting. More about this soon!
The other books in the picture above to have made their way into my personal library are:
- White Man Returns by Agnes Newton Keith
Description: This book relates how, after the release from captivity of Agnes Keith, her husband and her young son during the Japanese war in Borneo, they returned to the shattered British colony in North Borneo.
- Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness
Back cover: Book Two of the All Souls trilogy plunges Diana and Matthew into Elizabethan London, a world of spies, subterfuge, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the mysterious School of Night. The pair's mission is to find traces of Ashmole 782, but as the net of Matthew's past tightens around them they embark on a very different—and vastly more dangerous—journey.
- Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard
Back cover: Enigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a well-respected Dante specialist by day, but by night he devotes himself to an uninhibited life of pleasure. He uses his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to gratify his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past and consumed by the profound belief that he is beyond all hope of redemption.
When the sweet and innocent Julia Mitchell enrolls as his graduate student, his attraction and mysterious connection to her not only jeopardizes his career, but sends him on a journey in which his past and his present collide.

During those years, the TOCDF eliminated the single largest stockpile of aging, deteriorating chemical weapons under the international Chemical Weapons Convention treaty. The building used as an office by international treaty inspectors was the first building scheduled to be demolished.
The destruction of more than 13,500 tons of lethal nerve and blister agents was completed in January 2012 at the TOCDF. The workforce of 1,200 has been reduced to about 230 employees since the project was completed.
The buildings in which destruction of chemical weapons occurred have been decontaminated and certified as safely decommissioned. The safe disposal and recycling of waste will heed Utah's environmental regulations.
Some buildings will remain for use by Tooele Army Depot, which took control of the Deseret Chemical Depot. The depot began storing chemical weapons in 1942 and ultimately stored more than 44 percent of the nation's original stockpile. The area is now known as the Tooele Army Depot, South Area.
Envirocon, a URS subcontractor based in Montana, will conduct demolition during the nine-month project.

I haven't attempted to solve the problem that way yet, mostly because I feel the feature is important enough to exist without users having to install additional modules. That, and it exists in Apache 1.3.x. In the meantime, I have found where to add one line of the code to make this feature happen.

Over our dead bodies maybe. But while we are still alive and breathing, those promoting this treason will be dealt with, a hangmans noose, or a bullet to the back of the head.
I know of NO American, No Mexican, and NO Canadien that wants ANY part of this Globalist GARBAGE. Death to Tyrants and their Owners.
Declaration of united Americas
To form a better association
We, the undersigned, the founders of this constitution, unite as one to the proposition that all people may live in happiness, prosperity and peace.
That the aspirations of all human beings are bound by the practical function of their societies. Corrupt and dangerous societies breed evil and sadness. Well constructed societies breed happiness.
1. A Constitution as a blueprint to a better Union
We believe a constitution is the blueprint of a society. It defines our structure, our essential rules and beliefs. It enshrines our culture and who and what we think we are. Therefore, the structure of a society is always determined by the strength of its constitution.
It is because of the vision and courage of the founding fathers of the United States constution and their aspirations for an enlightened and free society that has helped America become the most successful economic nation the world has ever known. Yet even with their foresight, the founding fathers could not envisage the repercutions of the right to bear arms in the context of a sordid prohibition on drugs and street crime. Nor could the founding fathers have considered that special interests would so hold the economic future of this nation to ransom.
No matter how many good people exist in the Americas, no matter how many honourably intended acts of kindness are provided, poorly constructed constitutions will inevitably lead to poorly constructed societies and to the kind of sadness and evil that has plagued many American nations.
An ideal constitution is one that enables any democratic society to function to its optimum so that all its citizens live happy and fruitful lives and that there is harmony and peace.
2. Current constitutions and organized associations are less than ideal
Whole organisations currently exist with goals of uniting American nations and providing union of economic matters, they lack to moral and visionary cohesion that is required. Power must not only be bestowed to an institution, it must have legitimacy and enable a framework for growth and the flow of power throughout its structure.
In some cases, the constitutions of united entities have robbed a member state from effective security of its citizens. In some cases, the constitution fails to protect the majority of its citizens for the favour of a few.
3. The need for a new plan
Happiness and peace will only come when societies change. Societies will not change unless their constitutional model changes. Therefore this new model of change is proposed being a Union of states for the purpose of a common market and common vision for the benefit of all citizens.
We believe it is possible to define a better world with better structures enabling society to be happier and fairer to all its citizens. We believe it is essential that such ideas that enhance the quality of life of people be properly structured into a constitution capable of assisting a nation of people to function to its best potential.
4. A better world, a happier society
This constitution represents our belief in a blueprint for a happier, prosperous and more peaceful world for our fellow citizens.
Happiness and peace will only come when societies change. Societies will not change unless their constitutional model changes.
5. Enaction
We enact the validity of this document today with our signatures and our action to approve this document through the appropriate process into its position as prime law.
We solemnly swear this document to be the one and only true Constitution by which the Americas Union shall exist now and every point in its future.
NAU Constitution - Declaration of united Americas
Illegal Immigration needs to be stamped out now. Repatriation of illegals to their country of ORIGEN needs to happen now. Support Chris Simcox and the Minutemen Projects coming to a border state near you.

Councilmember José Huizar was joined Wednesday by City officials and a large coalition of pedestrian, bike, greenway and DTLA advocates to officially launch his DTLA Forward initiative, which is focused on improving traffic flow, pedestrian and bicyclists' access, as well as increased green and public space in Downtown Los Angeles.
In May, Huizar issued a series of DTLA Forward motions that came out of an inter-departmental planning workshop sponsored by Huizar and included the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), and a host of other city departments. The workshop was hosted by Gensler, a Pershing Square Renew partner.
On Wednesday, Huizar joined Seleta Reynolds, GM for LADOT, to announce one of those motions will lead to a reconfiguration of Main and Spring Streets, from Cesar Chavez Avenue to the north and Olympic Boulevard to the South, with those streets' current bike lanes slated to be upgraded to protected bike lanes, bringing added safety for bicyclists and motorists in Downtown Los Angeles. While the details of that plan will be finalized soon, protected bike lanes often involve shifting bike lanes to the curbside of streets where automobile parking normally is, with street parking moved to the traffic side, creating a "parked car" wall of protection for bicyclists between them and moving traffic.
And earlier this month, Huizar and Reynolds joined Metro officials to announce that 16 Pedestrian Headstart signals had been installed in Downtown as part of DTLA Forward, after Huizar made the request of Metro as mitigation for the 2nd and Broadway Regional Connector construction and closures. LADOT installed the crosswalks, which have proved popular with Downtown stakeholders, giving pedestrians a four-second head start when walking in the crosswalks, increasing visibility and lessoning chances for auto/pedestrian collisions. The City's first two Pedestrian Headstart crosswalks were installed in 2014 as part of Huizar's Bringing Back Broadway's Master Streetscape Plan and the expansion was laid out in one of the DTLA Forward 2015 motions. Community building is also a key point of DTLA Forward and through the efforts of Downtown residents, Joe's Parking and Huizar's office, a new community garden will soon be opening on Spring Street.
"Every great city needs a great Downtown and 'DTLA Forward' aims to bring smart, innovative public space policy and programs to a rapidly growing Downtown Los Angeles that will not only make DTLA more functional, accessible and safer, but greater," said Councilmember Huizar.
Huizar announced Wednesday that another DTLA Forward motion will be voted on today in City Council, directing City departments to create a "Green Alleyway" program, using three current DTLA green alley proposals as pilots to gather feedback on which models are the best moving forward. Green Alley programs have been successfully adopted in other cities and offer opportunties to turn often blighted alleys into pedestrian destinations. The three programs to be studied include:
South Park – pilot from the South Park BID
Arts District – pilot from a community organization, Industrial District Green
Harlem Alley, – pilot from a private property owner, Tom Gilmore
The City Council will also vote today to approve a fourth DTLA Forward motion, instructing City staff to adopt the South Park Tree Guidelines and incorporate those guidelines into an updated Downtown Design Guide as the standard for any tree planting within the public right of way in South Park. Additionally, a Master Tree List will be created specifically for Downtown and is scheduled for consideration by the Citywide Planning Commission this summer.
DTLA is one of the fastest growing downtowns in the U.S. and growth is expected to continue with over 80,000 residents expected to call Downtown Los Angeles home in the next five years and $11 billion worth of development currently underway. As a major economic engine for the Southern California area, DTLA is also home to more than 500,000 workers, with an additional 10 million people visiting the Downtown area each year.
Councilmember Huizar is leading other initiatives throughout his district, including Bringing Back Broadway and Pershing Square Renew in Downtown Los Angeles, with an upcoming public presentation for the four design finalists set for April 28, 2016 at the Palace Theatre on Broadway.
Among those expected to be on hand or send representatives for Wednesday's DTLA Forward launch include Seleta Reynolds, LADOT GM; Heather Repenning Public Works Commissioner; Kevin Regan, Recreation & Parks; Enrique Saldivar, Sanitation GM; Danielle Brazell, Cultural Affairs GM; Vince Bertoni, Planning GM; Romel Pascual, Exec. Dir. CicLAvia; Ron Lorenzen, BSS Urban Forestry; Jessica Lall, South Park BID; Blair Besten, Historic Downtown BID; Patti Berman, DLANC; Miguel Vargas, Arts District BID; Nick Griffen, Downtown Center BID; Carol Schatz, CCA; Gabrielle Newmark, Katherine McNenny, Industrial District Green; Rob Jernigan, Gensler; Eduardo Santana, Pershing Square Renew; Shane Phillips, Los Angeles Streetcar, Inc.; Nat Gale and Valerie Watson; LADOT Vision Zero & People St. programs; Lucas Rivera, Grand Park; Chris Fuderich, LARABA; Chris Komai, LTCC; Qathryn Brem, Artwalk; Ari Simon, Get Downtown; Carmen Zella, Do Art; Rubina Ghazarian, LADOT Bikeshare; Deborah Murphy, LA Walks; Tamika Butler, LACBC; Joe Linton, Damien Newton, LA Streetsblog; Anisha Hingorani, Multicultural Communities for Mobility.

Over the last several years, support for expanding Social Security benefits has moved from the political fringe to the mainstream, with 79 percent of likely voters—a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and independents—supporting expansion. Last year, almost the entire Democratic caucus voted for a Senate budget amendment in support of expansion.
2015 offers a major opportunity to discuss the future of our earned benefits. Not only is Medicare celebrating its 50th anniversary and Social Security its 80th, next month on July 13 the White House will hold its once-a-decade White House Conference on Aging. This is an opportunity to discuss ways to address the retirement income crisis looming over future retirees. Unfortunately, the conference's recently released draft policy brief has a glaring omission—there is no discussion of Social Security expansion.
The Economic Policy Institute is working on this issue, but they need the help from the UBC. Join EPI and our partners in calling on the White House Conference on Aging to include Social Security expansion in any discussion about retirement security. We must protect and expand Social Security!
In recent years, members of Congress have introduced legislation to expand Social Security through modest across-the-board benefit increases; cost-of-living adjustments that better reflect costs faced by seniors; and provisions targeted at vulnerable groups, such as a higher minimum benefit and a restored student benefit for older children of disabled and deceased workers. Importantly, these bills—eight introduced in the 113th Congress alone—would also raise revenue and strengthen the system's finances.
With one-third of seniors relying on Social Security for virtually all of their income and an average annual benefit of just $16,000, it is critical that the White House Conference on Aging go beyond a simple discussion of protecting earned benefits.

Jury just announced verdict in David Moffitt trial
Jury just announced verdict in David Moffitt trial
DES MOINES, Iowa —
A Polk County jury has reached a verdict in the David Moffitt trial Wednesday afternoon.
Moffitt was found guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of 30-year-old Justin Michael.
Officers found Michael on May 8, 2014, when they were sent to his Grimes home to check a report about a shooting.
An Iowa prosecutor said Moffitt meticulously planned to kill his former girlfriend's fiance, but a defense attorney said mental illness and side effects from a medication caused his client to commit the slaying.
The attorneys said Moffitt and Angie Ver Huel, a Waukee schoolteacher, dated for about three months in spring 2013, but they broke up after Ver Huel met and started dating Michael that June.

Robert D. Morrison: Husband, Father, Soldier
1940's Carlisle
4th Infantry Division
Fallen Soldier
Primary Sources
"Bob" Morrison: From Boy to Soldier
Early Years
Robert Morrison was born on September 21, 1914, to Andrew and Della Morrison. His parents were married at a relatively young age, 24 and 19 respectively, and had eleven children together: Archie (b.1911), Martha (b.1913), Robert (b.1914), Chester (b.1916), Anna (b. 1918), Edna (b. 1919), Roy (b. 1922), Mildred (b. 1927), Grant (b. 1929), Teddy (b. 1932), and Della (b. 1933). Robert lived on his parent's farm in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. His only education was grammar school which would be the equivalant of a middle school education. With the end of his education, he focused on tending to the family farm and became skilled in making shoes and boots.
Adult Life
Robert and Carolyn's first child, Robert Lee
Robert got married in his twenites to a Miss Carolyn Goodyear Killian (1915-living) and had three children: Robert Lee (b. 1934), Thersa Mae (b. 1939), and Donald Leroy (b. 1942). With his marriage, he moved out of his family's home and into a house on B Street, also in Carlisle. Robert soon found a job at the Bedford Shoe Company located in the area. Then on Novemeber 11th, 1943, Robert enlisted in the U.S. Army at a center in Harrisburg, PA. His younger brother Roy enlisted with him the very same day.
Military Career
4th Infantry Division on Utah Beach, June 6th, 1944
After enlisting, Robert was placed in the 4th Infantry Division within the 8th Infantry Regiment. From Pennsylvania, he travelled to Fort McClellan, AL where he received his basic training. He was later stationed at Fort Meade, MD. His first journey overseas was in May of 1944, where he spent some time in England before heading for France. Robert's division was one of the first allied forces to land in France on D-Day. From that day on, Robert continued to make his way deeper and deeper into France in an attempt to overthrow the German command. On July 28th, he was killed in action, leaving behind his wife and three young children. His heroic actions during the war were rewarded posthumously with a Purple Heart.

How to Make a Leotard from an Old T-Shirt
How boring the ubiquitous cotton leotard is! If you or your kid regularly participates in an activity in which the uniform is a cotton leotard, then you have no doubt long grown sick of it. Cuter leotards can be obtained, but they're pricey, and how much money can you really justify spending on such a small scrap of fabric? Learn how to make a leotard from an old tee that's cuter than the ones at the store.
This particular leotard that my kid is wearing cost probably a couple of bucks, and that's including the fold-over elastic. It's made from my old Obama 2008 election T-shirt, so whatever else you may have to say about it, it's not boring. And it was actually surprisingly easy to make, with one of the kid's other [boring] leotards as the pattern.
If you, too, have a well-fitting leotard to copy, then you can make your own comfy cotton leotard out of a T-shirt. Here's how to make a leotard from a tee.
How to Make a Leotard from a T-Shirt
You will need:
1. a well-fitting leotard. You can use a regular leotard or a biketard for this, but for now, keep it sleeveless. Sleeves are just a little more complicated, and we'll talk about creating and sewing them another time.
2. T-shirt. This leotard that fits my eight-year-old is made from a shirt that's a woman's medium. Make sure that the shirt that you use is very soft, on the thin side, and that it drapes well in a body-hugging way. T-shirts that drape well are usually made from fabric that's cut on the bias, and that will also make an excellent leotard that moves well with the body.
3. newspaper and Sharpie. You'll be drawing your pattern pieces onto yesterday's newspaper.
4. fold-over elastic. It's usually abbreviated as FOE, and it's become much more mainstream, which is great, as it's easy to use, and makes sewing with stretch fabrics SO much easier.
5. scissors, cutting mat, iron, and the other usual sewing supplies. Don't forget a ballpoint needle that's suitable for jersey knit fabric!
1. Lay out a well-fitting leotard as a template. There are a few tricks to using an existing piece of clothing as a pattern, all of which I lay out in this tutorial on how to copy a vest. The most important thing is to make sure that the existing garment lies completely flat, and for that, you need to use masking tape. If you tape along the seam lines, you'll have a neater time tracing the garment.
Trace around the leotard onto newspaper, doing the front and back of the leotard separately, and then labeling each piece; I label with the garment, size information, and usually which kid the pattern is for. Cut out the pattern, then fold it in half lengthwise and trace it again, neatening curves and straight lines and dealing with all the little ways in which your first pattern wasn't symmetrical. Label this new pattern, and cut it out, as well. This is the one that you'll sew from!
Repeat these steps for the second pattern piece.
2. Cut your leotard from the T-shirt. Cut the T-shirt into front and back first, and iron it well, and then trace your pattern in chalk directly onto the fabric. I add seam allowance by hand at this step–usually about 5/8″, for me, but whatever seam allowance you like will work fine for this.
Cut out each piece, and then move immediately to the next step. If you let the cut pieces sit too long, the edges will curl up and make the next steps more difficult.
3. Iron and starch. I talk more about this in my double-sided T-shirt quilt tutorial, but the gist is that jersey knit fabric will not curl and will sew more evenly in your sewing machine when it has first been starched. It's highly worth it not to skimp on this step.
4. Sew the crotch of the leotard. Sew the two crotch pieces together, right sides together, using a zig-zag stitch. Iron the seam to one side, and then zig-zag over it again to finish it flat.
Make a lining for the crotch by laying out the leotard over a scrap piece of the T-shirt fabric, and tracing the two sides of the crotch onto it. Lift up the leotard, and use a ruler to connect the two sides with straight lines. Cut out this piece, iron it, and starch it well.
Pin the crotch lining to the crotch of the leotard, wrong sides together, and then zig-zag stitch just the long sides to the leotard.
5. Sew the rest of the leotard. Sew the sides and the shoulder straps of the leotard together, each time using a zig-zag stitch and finishing each seam by ironing it to one side and then zig-zag stitching it flat. Be mindful not to pull on the fabric or otherwise stretch it as you sew.
6. Enclose all edges in fold-over elastic. Use this method to bind the leotard's leg holes, armholes, and neck with fold-over elastic. I like the binding to be a tightest at the leg holes, to keep wedgies at bay, and then less tight at the arm holes, and not very tight–perhaps 80%–at the neck.
This method should result in a workable leotard right off, but there will undoubtedly be little things that you'll want to change. This leotard pattern, for example, needs the shoulders to be a little longer, the leg holes a little more narrow, and a lot more room in the booty. Another time (after I buy some more FOE!), I'll show you how to make these easy modifications to your pattern, so that your next leotard will be longer, leaner, and more booty-full.
10 Responses to How to Make a Leotard from an Old T-Shirt
This is SO CUTE! I wish I were handier with a sewing machine. My daughter is a gymnast and a dancer so we have need for a LOT of leotards. I have had good luck with thrift stores and Craigslist for inexpensive leos. I wonder how easy these would be for a more inexperienced seamstress though?
The pattern is super easy, but a beginning sewer might struggle with sewing knit fabric. I'd suggest starching REALLY well, going nice and slow, and not starting with a favorite T-shirt. Even experienced sewers are pretty comfortable with a few flubs at first, so I always expect to go through a few drafts when I'm trying to create or modify a new pattern.
I might try my hand at this. I've sewn knit fabric before and it is intimidating but I didn't know the starch trick. And, as an art teacher, I have PLENTY of spare Tshirts (i.e., paint shirts) laying around to mess up first. 🙂

Great tutorial! If I get to lock myself away tomorrow with the sewing machine, a biketard and a bathing suit will be made.
A biketard for Willow is my next project! You're starting with a biketard that fits, aren't you? I'm afraid that I'm going to have to figure out my biketard pattern using a leotard and a pair of boy shorts, and it's bugging me how I'm going to make enough room for the booty.
can you just start with a good fitting pair of pants/shorts and build up? Emma's biketard is two pieces in the back and I think that is to account for the buns. I finally took pictures last night of her wearing it, just to get a blog post written.

She shouts." The super PAC Correct The Record, which focuses on defending Hillary Clinton from attacks, quickly pounced with an online video juxtaposing Woodward's comments with a montage of several of the men running for President. There is a lot of shouting, just not from Hillary.
