Just wondering how many kids are in the hogwan that you teach at. I have a lot of kids but I work for a larger company (Little America) There are almost 200 kids here but then I met a guy last week who said he has 12 students at his place. Just curious...

Read somewhere (probably on here) that you need more than a 100 to turn a profit. I get blamed for not bringing in students. The word of mouth about my magical teaching abilities is supposed to have them signing up in droves apparently (I'm the only foreign teacher) I would have thought it was our marketing guy's job to bring in students (silly me) but its a clase of blame the waygook for our business & management failings. Anyone else cop this crap? Back to top captain kirkJoined: 29 Jan 2003 Posted: Mon May 05, 2003 8:09 am Post subject: yes, i am the only foreign teacher and our school also has only 60 students. I didn't know over 100 is necessry to turn a profit. i've thought about asking the boss why he doesn't ask the parents to recommend the school, since we all bust our butts cosying their 'brats'. But it makes sense the parents would resist larger classes, but badmouthing the school? Whatever works for them. The parents 'run' the school, so it makes sense they'd want their hagwon tuition to go farther, buy them a nice little private class. We have a 'returnee' class in the evening, seven to nine pm. Kids who just got back from living overseas for two years. I heard that the kids would make new arrivals uncomfortable enough to leave the class. Maybe at the urgings of their parents to keep the little 'private' get-together cosy. It's a tangled web with the poor boss at the middle of it, looks like. oh well, people call him 'director', and 'sir'. That must be a huge kick, haha Back to top Horangi MunshinJoined: 06 Apr 2003Location: Busan Posted: Mon May 05, 2003 4:19 pm Post subject: Mashimaru.

I've said it before and I will say it again — words hurt. Sticks and stones also hurt but unlike cuts and bruises that eventually heal, the sting from an ill word can last a lifetime. Words hold great power. While they can lift and build people up they can also tear them down reeking destruction. Glance back over your life and while there are a multitude of moments that stand out, I imagine there are words and phrases that pop into your head as well. There is a saying that "people will forget what you did but they won't forget how you made them feel." Our words have the ability to conjure up various emotions and feelings, and even after apologies have been said and a request for forgiveness made, the memory doesn't fade. Because the reality is, when it comes to what you say, people don't forget. And some people will remind you of what you said long after the words fall from your lips.
Recently I read an article on The Huffington Post that identified words that could ruin one's marriage. I wanted to share some of them with you and decided to incorporate some of my own, some shared with me by colleagues. I even reached out to some of my friends for their thoughts. The fact that we were able to give some of our own examples suggests that we have either heard or uttered these words ourselves.
I share them with you not in an attempt to make you feel bad or remind you why you should be mad at your spouse. Rather I share them to help serve as a reminder that the saying think before you speak still holds true.
We all, myself included, say things out of anger and frustration. But somewhere along the way, hopefully we come to the realization that nothing good comes out of using our tongues as weapons. Long after the rush of dropping an F-bomb (aka $#*k @#%!) subsides are the remains of a further damaged relationship. Here are 12 words and phrases we should never say to our spouses:
12 Words and Phrases You Should Never Say to Your Spouse 1 of 13
Click through for 12 words and phrases you should never say to your spouse.
Never 2 of 13
Everyone knows that you never say never when referring to your spouse and what he or she does. According to The Huffington Post the word never "implies a sense of hopelessness and finality."
Always 3 of 13
Also noted in the article by The Huffington Post, the word always suggests that your spouse is doing something wrong and you something right. The word always is considered an "all or nothing" phrase.
Hate 4 of 13
As children we are often taught not to use the word hate. "Hate is a strong" word, the grownups in our lives would say. And it is, especially when it is tied to something your spouse does, particularly something that is a part of who they were when you first met them.
Fat 5 of 13
For some of us our appearance is a touchy subject. Calling your spouse fat isn't going to magically make them get in shape. Instead it might result in hurt feelings.
Stupid/Dumb 6 of 13
An attack on your partner's intelligence is never a good idea. After all they were smart enough to be with you right?
Lazy 7 of 13
Calling someone lazy rarely motivates him or her to be the exact opposite.
He/She got that from you… 8 of 13
If your child does something that drives you nuts or you feel isn't necessarily becoming don't be so quick to point the finger at your partner and say that your child got it from them.
8. This is gross/ugly. 9 of 13
Ever go out of your way to do something nice for someone and instead of saying thank you they say something negative? You may not like her cooking or his taste in jewelry but that doesn't mean you have to respond negatively. Gratitude goes a long ways.
It's not my problem. 10 of 13
Once you make the decision to marry someone their problems become your problems. Marriage is a partnership. Instead of washing your hands of things consider making an effort to help your spouse come up with a solution.
Hurry up! 11 of 13
No one wants to hear their spouse make a request for them to wrap things up in the bedroom when it seemed things were just getting started.
Leave 12 of 13
You're mad and instead of talking things out you and your spouse engage in a war of words and you tell them to leave or even worse mention the dreaded d word — divorce. The next time you argue you again tell them to leave. Doing so sends the message that you don't really want to keep working to make your relationship last. You might also want to consider the fact that should you keep pushing they might oblige you and actually leave.
My ex used to… 13 of 13
OUCH! Nothing bruises the ego quite like hearing what your spouse's ex did except hearing about the fact that they did it better.
For a few additional words you should refrain from using when speaking to your spouse as well as some tips on how to communicate more effectively, visit The Huffington Post. I realize never is a tall order but a little effort goes a long ways. Any taboo words I left out?

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — No one can accuse Doc Rivers of being anything other than a pragmatist.
It makes no sense for the coach of the Boston Celtics to worry himself with the Los Angeles Lakers and what goes on in the Western Conference when Rivers and his crew have to contend with the reigning NBA champion Miami Heat in their own conference.
Rivers said it himself when he uttered this line: "I have my eye squarely on Miami," to Bob Ryan during an interview at the Action For Boston Community Development's Hoop Dreams event (check video, above):
"Honestly, I don't care about the Lakers … I have my eye squarely on Miami. I come up to my players during the year — they're in the facility now — I bring up Miami every single day to them. I want them to hate them. I want them to beat them. That's gotta be our focus."
Rivers is right to keep his focus on the Heat and right to make sure his team does the same. The Celtics pushed the Heat in the 2012 Eastern Conference finals, showing a bit more fight than many of us expected while sending a clear message to the crew in Miami — that they were not going to ride roughshod over Boston on their way to what could be several appearances in The Finals with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh at the controls.
(That has to be painful for Celtics, Bulls and Pacers fans to hear, but it's the truth … we could be in the midst of a Heat championship era unless someone in the East rises up and stops them.)
Kevin Garnett is back and healthy. Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce have never met a challenge they couldn't get up for. Jeff Green returns to action after observing all last season and Jason Terry, one of the league's most competitive veterans and the owner of a championship ring won in the Mavericks' 2011 Finals defeat of the Heat, replaces Ray Allen (now with the Heat) as the Celtics' resident sharpshooter. And there's a strong crop of reserves that includes Brandon Bass and Courtney Lee.
As was stated clearly over the weekend, the Lakers have chemistry issues of their own that must be resolved this season. It's up to Lakers coach Mike Brown and his staff to figure out how to make the Kobe Bryant-Steve Nash-Dwight Howard-Pau Gasol dynamic work. And truth be told, the teams that need to be most concerned with the Lakers right now call Oklahoma City and San Antonio home.
The Celtics need to maintain a near-sighted focus on the one team that stands between them and a return trip to The Finals while there are still a few shreds of their vaunted Big 3 remaining.
That's not say another Lakers-Celtics duel in The Finals wouldn't be as entertaining as ever. They always produce some of the best drama when Larry O'Brien trophies are up for grabs. And if they get there, we'll have our popcorn ready like always.
But before they get to that point, they both have hurdles within their respective conferences to consider. Boston plans to be one big hurdle for the Heat.

Subsistence agricultural production is vital to the economies, nutritional
status, and social well-being of small islandsparticularly the small,
low-lying, atoll states where food security is a major concern. The main subsistence
crops include taro, sweet potato, yam, breadfruit, bananas, coconut, and a variety
of vegetables. Production of cash crops such as sugarcane, copra, coffee, cocoa,
rubber, and tea (grown at higher elevations on high islands) also is important
because export of these products earns valuable foreign exchange. Climate change
could precipitate heat stress, changes in soil moisture and temperature, evapotranspiration,
and rainfall that might affect the growth of some subsistence root crops and
vegetables. The consequences of such changes for agriculture are likely to be
more severe in areas that already are under stressfor example, water-scarce
islands. Crop agriculture also can be affected by tropical cyclones and other
extreme events, such as floods and droughts. To the extent that many small islands
are susceptible to these phenomena, it is highly likely that crop production
in these states would be impacted by alterations in the patterns of these events
as a consequence of climate change.
On low islands and atolls in the Pacific, practically all crop agriculture
is concentrated at or near the coast. Thus, changes in the height of the water
table and salinization as a result of sea-level rise would be stressful for
most varieties of taro and other crops, which have low tolerance for salt. It
has been suggested that in general, C3 crops, which include many
tropical crops, will benefit more from the effect of CO2 fertilization
than C4 plants. However, recent findings indicate that the impact
on sugarcane and maize yields would be adverse (Jones et al., 1999).
Singh and El Maayar (1998), using GCM (CCC 11) outputs and high, medium, and
low CO2 emission scenarios coupled with a crop model (FAO) to simulate
crop yields, found that sugarcane yields may decrease by 20-40% under a
2xCO2 climate change scenario in Trinidad and Tobago in the southern
Caribbean. The decrease in yields is attributed to increased moisture stress
caused by the warmer climate. These reductions in sugarcane yields deriving
from climate change are similar to those found for maizeanother C4
cropin nearby Venezuela (Maytin et al., 1995). These results are
supported by similar findings in Mauritius, which are derived from the Agricultural
Production Systems Simulator Model (APSIM-Sugarcane) developed by the Agricultural
Production Systems Research Unit, Australia. The study projects a decline in
sucrose yield by more than 50% with a doubling of CO2 (Cheeroo-Nayamuth
and Nayamuth, 1999).
Although fishing is largely artisanal or small-scale commercial, it is an important
activity on most small islands and makes a significant contribution to the protein
intake of island inhabitants (Blommestein et al., 1996; Mahon, 1996).
The impacts of climate change on fisheries are complex and in some cases are
indirect. As with other renewable resources, an assessment of climate change
impacts on fisheries is complicated by the presence of anthropogenic and other
non-climate-related stresses, such as habitat loss and overexploitation (Challenger,
Many breeding grounds for commercially important fish and shellfish are located
in shallow waters near coasts. These areas include mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass
beds, and salt pondsall of which are likely to be affected by climate
change. Generally, fisheries in the small island states are not expected to
be adversely affected by sea-level rise per se. Higher sea level would be a
critical factor for fisheries only if the rate of rise were far more rapid than
the current succession of coastal ecosystems (e.g., mangroves, seagrasses, corals)
on which some fish species depend (Everett, 1996). In tropical islands, these
ecosystems function as nurseries and forage sites for a variety of important
commercial and subsistence species. In this context, the unfavorable effects
of higher CO2 concentrations on coral reef development, coupled with
widespread coral bleaching, must be considered a significant threat in many
small island states (see Section 188.8.131.52). Fish
production obviously would suffer if these habitats were endangered or lost
(Costa et al., 1994).
On a global scale, it is not expected that climate change and climate variability
will lead to any significant reduction in fisheries production. However, important
changes in the abundance and distribution of local stocks (which may be of direct
concern to some small islands) are likely to occur (IPCC, 1996). For example,
Lehodey et al. (1997) have shown that spatial shifts in the abundance
of skipjack tuna in the Pacific are linked to the ENSO cycle. They note that
catches are highest in the western equatorial Pacific warm pool, which can be
displaced by as much as 50° of longitude eastward during El Niño
episodes and westward in La Niña years (Lehodey et al., 1997).
This must be a concern to Pacific islanders whose access to the skipjack stocks
now appears to be largely controlled by the periodicity of ENSO events.
Several management strategies for minimizing the adverse effects of climate
change on fish stocks have been proposed. These measuresmany of which
already are being implemented in some island statesinclude conservation,
restoration, and enhancement of vital habitats such as mangroves, coral reefs,
and seagrass beds; establishment and management of marine reserves and protected
areas for identified critical species; and implementation of bilateral and multilateral
agreements and protocols for exploitation and management of shared fisheries
(migratory and straddling stocks) (IPCC, 1998; Berkes et al., 2001).
Aquaculture also may be considered by island states as another means of reducing
stress on wild stocks. However, great precaution must be taken to ensure that
this measure does not exacerbate existing problems of habitat loss and competition
for nutrients (Carvalho and Clarke, 1998; see also Section

how's ATI support for freebsd?
I'm planning to install freebsd 8.2 on my Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop which has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 card, and the question is: is there an official driver for ati cards on freebsd so that I can enable desktop effects and so, or as I've heard that the support is only from nvidia folks ?
I am not sure that FreeBSD 8.2 will fully support this card. The Xorg version for FreeBSD is 1.7.7 and the ATI driver used is version 8.881. This wikipedia article indicates that cards up to R3XX are supported fully. The article indicates 2D support for R4xx and R5xx
Radeon Wiki
OpenBSD has support
OpenBSD ATI 4650
Distrowatch is helpful as it lists the xorg version and ati drivers that are utilized in the three major BSD variants. Also, each BSD does have a hardware support page
Last edited by shep; 19th September 2011 at 06:11 PM. Reason: distinguish between 2D and 2D+3D
ATI/AMD has no proprietary driver for BSD, but they do release NDA free documentation and have paid developers working on xf86-video-ati for both 2D and 3D acceleration.
The problem with newer cards is the userland Xorg driver lacks support for modesetting and only supports kernel modesetting, at this time only Linux supports that API.
The open source xf86-video-ati can do userland modesetting for Radeon R200 up to Radeon R700, but the kernel needs to support DRM/DRI to get 3D and XVideo acceleration.
The Radeon HD 4650 is part of the R700 family, OpenBSD has some support for that now, sometimes with some manual effort..
I don't know how FreeBSD is doing, but give it a try.
As for nVidia, they have proprietary drivers for FreeBSD only.. if you choose to use them, that's your prerogative.
2D and 3D acceleration is available for that GPU on FreeBSD 8.2. 3D acceleration is not great, but decent enough to play neverball and openarena, or even enable desktop effects (just don't play games and enable desktop effects at the same time).
xf86-video-ati has bugs that you might be hit with. For example, on one machine if I restart X, the entire computer locks up. Doesn't happen with another machine, though. I also sometimes get visual artifacts. Others, however, have neither of those problems.
Unless FreeBSD acquires support for KMS/TTM on radeon hardware, I only expect things to get worse for currently supported hardware. You should also not expect any newer radeon GPUs to have any acceleration till KMS/TTM is ported over.

1. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7phil_l May 4, 2012 9:54 AM (in response to quadrent)
It sounds like the driver has switched or lost track of which monitor is the default, so once it loads in Windows you lose the display.
Try removing your display completely and booting into Windows and try and log in (blind). Having no display connected might just get the drivers to re-evaluate what they need to do. Try plugging in your display once Windows is logged in, it should get detected and hopefully the drivers wil switch back to it.
If that doesn't help, try booting into safe mode, then from the start menu type msconfig, go to the Startup tab and remove the tick from the Intel Graphics application, then try rebooting in normal mode and see if it is okay now. If it is okay it will at least be running with the correct drivers and not in safe mode anymore, but you have lost the Intel utility to change settings, probably no bad thing.
The problem you have with uninstalling and reinstalling the HD driver is during uninstall it isn't clearing its settings, so once the driver goes back on, it picks up the same settings which results in it failing to send the video to your monitor.
If you are comfortable in doing so, uninstall the HD driver then browse the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software and see if you can find any entries for the Intel graphics, if yes rename the key (you could delete but renaming gives you the option of putting it back as it was). Also look in HKEY_LOCAL_USER. Then reinstall the driver and reboot.
2. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7quadrent May 4, 2012 4:37 PM (in response to phil_l)
Thanks Phil,
Deleting the registery entries worked.
For anyone else with this issue I removed the following entries. Then I rebooted.
HKEY_CURRENT_User/Software/Intel/ICC/Applications/Intel Graphics Driver
Once again, thank you.
3. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7phil_l May 5, 2012 1:40 AM (in response to quadrent)
That's good news. It is something that Intel needs to address with it's driver setup program as when we uninstall something it should remove everything and not leave settings behind for just this sort of reason, as you can't easily get a clean start otherwise if something goes wrong. I wonder how many have bitten the bullet and gone for a reformat and re-install after something similar happening with these drivers?
4. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7quadrent May 7, 2012 7:54 PM (in response to phil_l)Not sure, but its done it again, and this time wiping out the registry entries are not working. Looks like I'll need to get that GTX 680 soon then later. This is a rather annoying bug.This time around I was using the computer. Not even moving the mouse or touching the keyboard when it happened. I was sitting on a page just reading an article. Nothing fancy, and on a legit site. All of a sudden bam, it switches off my display but sound still works. I reboot, nothing but sound. Go into safemode delete the same registry entries and restart. Nothing.This is a rather odd glitch. I wonder if it doesn't like my HDMI to DVI adaptor or something odd and doesn't detect a display.Last time I thought I might have hit a hotkey by mistake, this time not so much.
5. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7kobashi May 30, 2012 4:12 PM (in response to quadrent)
I am experiencing the very same issue using DVI output with a Core i5-3570K on a ASUS motherboard. I've tried everything (different drivers, reseting, formating, other cable, other screens, BIOS update, etc.) but it always ends the same way : DVI output fails to produce a signal at high resolution (1080p) whereas it is working very nicely with low resolution screen (like 17 inches) or at high resolution but without driver installed.
I am not using any converter ou strange cables. Only DVI-D to DVI-D cable brand new working perfectly tested with other computers.
I am 99% convinced it's a bug related to Intel HD graphics driver.
I know it's pretty strange to use iGPU on big screens but the thing is that I don't need better graphics right now so...
Any help or official Intel support would be greatly appreciated (quite impossible to submit a bug through the support website)
Thanks everyone for reading !

I also encountered this particular problem and followed the advice that phil_l gave but to no avail. Finally I decided to re-install Windows but soon afterwards the problems began again.
However, because it was a clean install I was able to narrow down the problem and have finally solved it (system has been stable for a few hours now)
1) Update your Motherboard's chipset drivers.
2) [And I suspect this is the real culprit] Uninstall Daemon tools (or any other virtual drive solution) It seems that the SPTD driver that it uses clashes with the Intel graphics drivers and causes the weird black screen problem.
Hope this help you guys!

9. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7kobashi Jun 12, 2012 3:32 PM (in response to deadlyembrace)
Thanks for your answers to both of you!
My system is very clean, no other software than official drivers. Latest BIOS, latest everything, no Daemon tools orr anything else.
Latest beta drivers do not resolve.
My questionn is: do you use DVI output only like me ?
it looks like you encounter a different issue but still relatedto graphic driver
10. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7hlkc Jun 12, 2012 3:53 PM (in response to kobashi)
Just to recap... when I'm rebooting I've no GUI/boot up/BIOS info until it hits Windows "Weclcome" screen.
I've Asus P8Z77-V Premium with W7 Ultimate x64 and 3770K here. Using HDMI, DP and Thunderbolt.
I just removed the VCD and anything related to the drive and I still have the same problem. Yes, my system is very clean, just installed everything last Sat.

Your feedback is important to us and we thank you for taking the time to communicate this issue. We are aware of this situation, and our engineering group is working on this issue. We cannot provide an estimated time for this to be solved but, all the information was already forwarded to the appropriate department.
12. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7deadlyembrace Jun 13, 2012 2:01 AM (in response to quadrent)
@Lee actually I use an HDMI to DVI cable as my MOBO doesn't have any other gfx output ports and my monitor only support DVI (so in a sense, I guess it's about the same)
I was indeed talking about VCD software, but it seems as this might only be a part of the issue as the problem reappeared late yesterday. It does seem less frequent than when I use Daemon tools though and it has yet to black screen just after the Windows loading screen.
It seems as if it is indeed driver related, which means that the only true solution (at least at the moment) would be to switch to an expansion card. (A bit sad, as the Intel GPU seems quite powerful)
13. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7hlkc Jun 13, 2012 11:28 AM (in response to deadlyembrace)
Just to make sure do you have a black screen AFTER the W7 loads? I sure don;t have that problem. My problem is BEFORE the W7 loads, from beep to W7 loads I've no GUI/boot up info at all, nothing but out of sync picture here.
14. Re: Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7hlkc Jun 13, 2012 11:30 AM (in response to Fred_Intel)
Happy to hear you guys are aware of the problems and working on it. Feel free to email me the next driver if needed, I'll be very happy to help out and testing the beta for us here. Thanks again!

I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. What grammar are you using? Usually the convention with these verbs is that when a multi-syllable word is written with an accent on the final syllable that means it's enclitic.
For both φημί and εἰμί all forms of the present indicative except the 2sg (φῇς, εἶ) are enclitic. Otherwise they accent normally, except, as always, for some oddball behavior in some dialects.


text: MY STORY:I have been creating embroidery art for over thirty years. Having taught myself to embroider by watching the generations of creative seamstresses that came before me, I eventually felt the need to try my hand at new and more challenging ways to express myself. When I was pregnant with my first child I started working with counted cross stitch but found that the patterns available were not always what I wanted or were so overpriced as to make them unattainable at the time. So I began creating my own patterns, one stitch at a time by hand. After my son was born I began creating custom children's toys and clothing for him, and for many of my friend's and neighbor's children. Including personalized embroidery and applique work on my custom designs enabled me to create unique one-of-a-kind creations that the children loved as much as their parents.When I was expecting my fifth child my husband bought me an embroidery machine. I had wanted one for years and I was so excited to put it to work for me. The only problem I found was that the designs were so expensive and the selection was limited. I knew there had to be a better way. When I started creating my own designs I found that others were constantly asking where I had found them and how could they get them. Thus I started putting together a collection of all of the designs I had created and went to work creating more. I wanted to enable other people to enjoy all the possibilities available without the enormous expense. The major embroidery design companies want you to believe that anyone who sells designs for less than they do have stolen their designs or are offering inferior quality designs. This is not the case! I have sold hundreds of my design sets and have never had a dissatisfied customer. Every design, whether for machine embroidery or counted cross stitch patterns, is my own creation. I have put in countless hours ensuring that I only offer the finest quality to my customers as I would expect myself.

Over the years, the GPD building at 721 NW Sixth St. has been renovated quite a few times. This week, however, the building will be demolished, and a shiny new one will rise in its place.
Before August 1953, the Gainesville Police Department was headquartered in the basement of the old City Hall building downtown. Back then, the department boasted 40 officers, six patrol cars, four plain cars and four motorcycles.
Today, the number of officers in the force hovers near 300.
Over the years, the GPD building at 721 NW Sixth St. has been renovated quite a few times. This week, however, the building will be demolished, and a shiny new one will rise in its place.
"The existing building served GPD and the community for many years," GPD Chief Tony Jones said, "but we are excited to see what the new headquarters can do for our community and the department."
The demolition is scheduled to start by the end of the week, according to a GPD spokesman, and will take approximately three weeks.
Gainesville City Manager Russ Blackburn said the project costs about $10.9 million, and includes the demolition and the construction of a two-story, 40,000-square-foot building with a red brick, stone, stucco and glass exterior.
A 9,000-square-foot warehouse also will be renovated into a training facility. Construction should take about a year, and the city is using a mix of funding sources to pay for design and construction.
Blackburn said those sources include some $3.9 million remaining from the initial pledge to the headquarters construction, $1.5 million from a Federal Law Enforcement Contraband Forfeiture Fund, $2 million from a bond issuance approved in 2011 and $3.5 million from reserves.
Some police operations have relocated permanently to the Police Administration Building around the corner on Northwest Eighth Avenue.
Other units have been moved temporarily to other city-owned property. Detectives, for instance, are in an office building downtown, while Internal Affairs is in the Loblolly Woods Nature Park at 3315 NW Fifth Ave.
Officer Marc Trahan is an investigator in GPD's forensics unit, but in his spare time he serves as the department's de facto historian.
"I have a history degree from UF," he said, "and I thought it would be nice if we knew more about some of the old pictures we have in the archives. You go to a lot of (police departments) and they have pictures of chiefs on the wall, so I said, 'we ought to have that.' "
Trahan helped organize some of the old photographs and helped put together the timeline of the police force for the GPD website.
He said the first police force was established in 1853 along with the establishment of the town. It wasn't much at first, he said. Just one or two people. In 1908, the department got its first car — a Model T Ford.
"The whole department could fit into it," he said.
Things picked up a little in the '20s. The first 24-hour desk sergeant position was created in 1926. In 1928, Trahan said, the first official uniforms were instituted by then Chief Edward D. Vestel. By 1935, the department was up to 10 officers and added its first radio transmitter. The first African-American officer, Oscar Lewis, joined the force in 1946.
By the mid-'50s, Trahan said, the town was growing so fast that it was time for the department to move out of the basement of City Hall, so the building at Sixth Street was built.
The building also held a municipal court and a jail by 1957.
By 1962, Trahan said, the building essentially doubled in size and a second floor was added.
In the '70s, the jail moved to its current location, and more space was added on the back of the building. The old jail area became the home base for the forensics unit, Trahan said.
"You can see in a sense we've been doubling in size to accommodate for the increase in population," he said.
By 1983, the force was up to 240 officers, 120 patrol cars, 50 plain vehicles, 10 motorcycles and a helicopter.
Since then, most of the renovations have been cosmetic, Trahan said, but recently code compliance and asbestos issues made a complete demolition and rebuild more cost-effective than a renovation.
Currently, Trahan and the forensics unit is in trailers, and he said the new building will have plenty of space for what the department needs. Current GPD Chief Tony Jones said everyone is looking forward to the new building.
"This has been a long time coming," Jones said, "and the entire police department is excited to see real progress on a new home for us."

I'm not a monogamist when it comes to travel but if forced to choose one country I've fallen completely in love with it would have to be Turkey. Why? The Turks are incredibly hospitable to the visitor and have a great sense of humour. Mouth-watering food, spectacular and varied scenery and some of the best and most beautifully located Greco-Roman sites anywhere. Simply put, I feel at home there.
Wherever I travel I take a phrase book – for me travel is all about connecting with the local people, and taking the trouble to communicate in their language makes a huge difference, especially when you get really off the beaten tourist track.
The other thing I always do is a bit of reading before I go. It's great to go to a new place ready to be surprised, but a bit of prior knowledge and insight adds to your understanding and enjoyment no end.

Twitter is a powerful marketing tool. But have you considered using the power of Twitter to enhance marketing efforts—social media or not? This article will show you how.
Most people talk about Twitter in terms of getting to know people, building lists and using followers. But for marketers and business owners, that's just the start.
The Laser Focus of Twitter
One of the reasons I prefer Twitter to Facebook is that it's much more focused, and in that regard, is much more business-oriented. As opposed to Facebook, where business and social are separated by pages and profiles, Twitter combines it all together in an easy-to-follow format.

What wildly underfunded climate solution can achieve all of these goals simultaneously:
- Slow global warming by increasing the reflectivity of the Earth (geo-engineering)
- Reduce local temperatures in the hottest cities (adaptation)
- Reduce fossil CO2 emissions (mitigation)
- Save U.S. consumers and businesses billions of dollars in energy costs
- Reduce urban smog and hence cardio-pulmonary disease
- Create more than 100,000 jobs in two years?
The answer is a major effort to make roofs (and pavements) whiter and/or more reflective, which should be coupled with a major urban tree-planting effort.
This "urban heat island mitigation" (UHIM) may well be the single most cost-effective energy and climate strategy (see background here plus "White roofs are the trillion-dollar solution").
Now Energy Secretary Steven Chu has announced new initiatives to promote and install "cool roofs" on DOE and other federal buildings. CAP's Laurel Hunt has the story.
The release of the DOE cool roofs initiatives is important step towards President Obama's vision of greening the federal government as outlined in his Executive Order on Sustainability (E.O. 13514), which commits the federal government to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 28 percent by 2020. Just yesterday, President Obama announced the expansion of the GHG emission reductions listed in E.O. 13514 by calling for an additional 13% reduction in GHG emissions from indirect sources by 2020.
Cool roofs, which improve building efficiency by reducing cooling costs and offsetting carbon emissions, will necessarily play an essential role in achieving that goal. Cool roofs effectively reduce heat by using lighter-colored roofing surfaces or special coatings to reflect more of the sun's heat. A study conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Davis Energy Group found that installing a cool roof reduced the daily peak roof surface temperature of each building and could reduce energy use expended to operate cooling equipment up to 52%.
In a memo released June 1, 2010, Secretary Chu extolled the many virtues of cool roofs:
Cool roofs are one of the quickest and lowest cost ways we can reduce our global carbon emissions and begin the hard work of slowing climate change. By demonstrating the benefits of cool roofs on our facilities, the federal government can lead the nation toward more sustainable building practices, while reducing the federal carbon footprint and saving money for taxpayers.
Secretary Chu's leadership on the cool roofs initiative is a critical step in reducing the nation's greenhouse gas emissions – buildings account for 40% of U.S. energy use and about 35% of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions. Implementing strategies like cool roofs, roads, and pavement throughout the nation could become the equivalent of "taking every car in the world off the road for 11 years." Researchers also found that,
Implementing cool roofs and cool pavements in cities around the world can not only help cities stay cooler, they can also cool the world, with the potential of canceling the heating effect of up to two years of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions.
Furthermore, installing cool roofs effectively helps combat the urban heat island effect – increased warming of urban areas in comparison to rural surrounding rural areas, caused in part by the combined heat of numerous hot roofs. Reducing the urban heat island effect will both improve air quality and lower ambient air temperature.
Specifically, Secretary Chu instructed that "all DOE offices to install cool roofs, whenever cost effective over the lifetime of the roof, when constructing new roofs or replacing old ones at DOE facilities." DOE also released a new resource on the roof selection process, Guidelines for Selecting Cool Roofs. Secretary Chu also announced Monday new international cool roof opportunities to provide technical support to partnering nations, as well as a ramp up of the Roof Asset Management Program (RAMP) for roof retrofitting, which currently saves around $500,000 a year within the DOE agency that houses it; it is expected to save $10 million over the next 15 years.
Other cool roof projects are proliferating throughout the nation, too. These range from the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science & Management, a two time LEED certified platinum building at UC Santa Barbara, to the McDonald's Restaurant at Abercorn Common in Savannah, Georgia. A UCSB spokesperson at UCSB states that although "greening" the building initially added to costs, "it's safe to say the building is quickly recovering the additional costs," saving the University money.
These projects and many others nationwide demonstrate that cool roofs are cool for the planet as well as the wallet. Cool roofs are yet another example of a currently available, low cost technology that can make a huge economic and environmental difference now. Even as the Senate debates a comprehensive clean energy and climate bill, which would spur further clean energy investments and energy savings, this 'low hanging fruit' must be aggressively harvested.

2005 Hyundai Santa Fe ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
More standard equipment boosts value.
The competent Santa Fe compact sport-utility is an even greater value for 2005 with its extensive list of standard convenience, safety, and trim features. The styling has been revised for 2005 with a new grille, refined body cladding, new tail lights, and a new rear bumper. Santa Fe looks ready for the outdoors, and its tall seating position and generous cargo capacity add to its utility.
The Santa Fe drives well on and off paved roads with decent handling and good brakes. The 2.7-liter and 3.5-liter V6 engines both deliver good acceleration, particularly in front-wheel-drive models. The four-wheel-drive system available with the 2.7-liter engine works well for light off-road duty. A new electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system available with the 3.5-liter engine provides solid footing for more challenging off-road and bad weather conditions. The 3.5-liter engine comes with a five-speed automatic transmission, an unexpected level of refinement for this class.
Side-impact air bags are standard. GLS and LX versions come with a 218-watt Monsoon stereo. Best of all, the Santa Fe is backed by Hyundai's long and comprehensive warranty, making it one of the most attractive small SUV's on the market. They say you get what you pay for, but with the Hyundai Santa Fe it seems like you get a little more.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is available in two trim levels: GLS and LX. Both levels come standard with front-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is available on both models ($1500).
Santa Fe GLS ($21,499) is powered by a 2.7-liter V6 engine, coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual shift control. GLS comes standard with a long list of features, including air conditioning, tinted privacy glass, power windows and door locks, outside power-adjustable heated mirrors, cruise control, keyless entry system with alarm, roof rack side rails, new-for-2005 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, rear intermittent wiper with washer, contrasting bodyside cladding and bumpers, 218-watt Monsoon AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers, leather-wrapped steering wheel, carpeted floor mats, a cargo net and retractable cargo cover, and a first aid kit (comprising sunscreen, poison ivy balm, bandages, and a thermal blanket).
GLS is also available with a 3.5-liter V6 engine ($22,099) with five-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual override.
The GLS can be upgraded with an in-dash six-CD changer for the stereo ($395), and a Convenience Package ($495) including fully automatic temperature control, and a photochromic auto-dimming inside rear view mirror with Homelink programmable transmitter. A power tilt/slide sunroof with sunshade ($750) is also available.
Santa Fe LX ($23,499) comes standard with leather upholstery and the 3.5-liter V6 and five-speed Shiftronic automatic transmission, all features of the GLS plus automatic air conditioning, heated front seats, a Homelink transmitter, an electrochromic rear-view mirror, the Monsoon stereo with an in-dash six-CD changer, chrome door handles and brushed-stainless scuff plates'. Optional: the power sliding glass sunroof ($750).
Safety features on all Santa Fe models include four-wheel disc brakes, an anti-lock braking system with traction control, dual front airbags and front-seat mounted side air bags.
All Hyundais come with one of the best warranty/service plans in the business: 10 years/100,000 miles on the powertrain, five-years/60,000 miles bumper-to-bumper, five-years/60,000 miles on corrosion, and 24-hour roadside assistance for five-years with unlimited mileage.
The proportions of the Hyundai Santa Fe are nicely balanced. A friendly front end blends smoothly into gentle flanks. The design suggests sufficient robustness for off-road capability. Large wheel arches filled with 16-inch alloy wheels and high-profile 225/70R16 tires (standard for 2005) reinforce this impression of strength. The glasshouse is adequately sized.
Santa Fe was designed to have a softer, more subdued visage than the rugged facade prevalent on other SUVs. Nevertheless, contrasting body cladding, bumpers, and restyled front grille give the 2005 Santa Fe a no-nonsense appearance of being able to cope with underbrush and tree limbs out on the trail.
The rear liftgate works well. The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 have tail doors hinged on the right, which works well in Japan but in the U.S. the open door gets in the way when unloading curbside. By hinging the hatch at the top, Hyundai provides a universal solution. Opening the rear hatch is a cinch with its pistol-grip latch handle and gas struts. Closing it is just as easy with a pull-down grip mounted inside. When open, the liftgate easily clears six-foot foreheads.
Getting in and out of the Santa Fe is easy, thanks to its big, comfortable door handles and low step-in height. You don't have to climb up to get in or climb down to get out. Rear-seat passengers don't need to turn their feet sideways to clear the doorjamb.
Once in, the interior is friendly to the touch. All controls are big and thick. The shift knob is big. The stereo controls are large, offering easy adjustment. The climate controls are big and easy to operate, though they look and feel like plastic. Bright trim dresses up the inside door releases and parking-brake handle.
The shift knob and shift quadrant are brightened by chrome trim in the GLS and LX. Illuminated power window switches and a lighted glove box add convenience at night. The driver's cup holder is conveniently located, making this a good vehicle for that morning cappuccino. The digital clock is located in the middle of the dashboard where it's easy to see. Big outside mirrors provide an excellent view rearward.
The front seats are comfortable, though flat, without much side-bolster support. The driver's seat adjusts eight ways to accommodate different body shapes and preferences, though the adjustments are a bit awkward.
The Santa Fe offers roomy rear-seat accommodations, with lots of headroom and legroom. Rear-seat cup holders are molded into the door-mounted map pockets. The rear seatback reclines for better rear-passenger comfort. But the windows in the rear doors don't roll all the way down, a shortcoming shared with other small SUVs.
ISOFIX child-seat anchors are provided at both outboard rear seating positions. Head restraints and three-point seatbelts are provided for outboard passengers, while the center-rear passenger must make do with a lap belt only. The outboard shoulder-belt anchor loops are fixed, not adjustable (though we sometimes wonder whether anyone actually adjusts the adjustable kind). The restraining loops for rear seat-belt buckles don't appear to be very durable (but that isn't a safety item).
To fold the rear seats, flip the rear seat bottom forward, remove the headrests from the seat backs, then fold the seat backs down. This provides as much or more cargo space than any other compact SUV. We noticed the latches for the flipping the rear seats forward were made of plastic rather than metal. The cargo floor isn't perfectly flat. But nine tie-down loops are available to keep your gear from shifting around. Sub-floor storage bins provide a place to hide valuables or road gear. A retractable cargo cover and cargo net are standard.
Driving Impression
The Hyundai Santa Fe offers good handling, particularly in the two-wheel-drive version. The front-drive Santa Fe proved to be more fun and more responsive than the heavier four-wheel-drive models. It doesn't feel top-heavy like some SUVs. The brakes are refreshingly responsive, even before the ABS (standard) steps in.
The 3.5-liter V6 comes paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. It offers lots of throttle response once it's going. It's a little lethargic off the line and the throttle response isn't linear, but the owner should be able to calibrate his or her foot to it. The 3.5-liter engine develops 200 horsepower and 219 pound-feet of torque. Indeed, only the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute, which share an optional 200-horsepower 3.0-liter V6, offer similar power in this class. EPA-rated fuel economy drops to 17/23 city/highway mpg. The front-wheel drive 3.5-liter Santa Fe, equipped with trailer brake, is rated to tow up to 3,300 pounds, enough to handle a small boat trailer. With its cast-iron block and multi-valve aluminum cylinder heads, this is the same engine Hyundai installs in its flagship XG350 sedan.
The 2.7-liter V6 produces 170 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Those are good numbers when compared to the V6s offered in other compact SUVs. The 2.7-liter V6 Santa Fe can accelerate more quickly than the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, which offer four-cylinder engines only. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 19/25 mpg city/highway for a front-wheel-drive 2.7-liter Santa Fe, and 18/23 for a 2.7-liter with four-wheel drive.
Santa Fe models equipped with all-wheel drive use one of two different systems, depending on whether the 2.7-liter or 3.5-liter engine supplies the power.
We found the mechanical full-time four-wheel-drive system that's available with the 2.7-liter V6 capable for light off-road driving in Southern California. The system appears to do a good job of sending the torque where it's needed, especially with the traction control (standard). This system is compact and clever and was developed by Austrian four-wheel-drive specialists Steyr-Daimler-Puch. The system combines proven engineering in innovative ways. A planetary differential inside the front transaxle splits the drive torque equally between the front wheels, and 60/40 between the front and rear axles. A viscous coupling between the front and rear axles overrides the differential if the wheels at either end begin to slip. This is a simple, purely mechanical system that's been around for decades, and it works very well with no attention whatever from the driver. All four wheels are driven all the time, with the coupling limiting the difference in speed between the front and rear axles. So if a front wheel starts to spin, torque is immediately re-directed to the rear, and vice versa.
Santa Fe 3.5-liter models come with a new and more sophisticated electronic system that Hyundai calls InterActive Torque Management (ITM). This system still requires no driver input. It drives only the front wheels most of the time, but monitors their traction with a computer, and distributes torque to the rear wheels only when necessary. The main advantage of ITM is optimized fuel economy with all-wheel-drive traction. A 3.5-liter Santa Fe with all-wheel drive gets an EPA rating of 17/23, equal to the lighter front-wheel-drive version. The electronic ITM system available with the 3.5-liter V6 was developed by U.S. gearbox veteran Borg-Warner. It relies on a series of wet clutches mounted just ahead of the rear axle. A computer monitors wheel speed, throttle position and steering angle, and engages the clutches when necessary.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is fun to drive, particularly the V6 front-wheel-drive models. The optional all-mechanical four-wheel-drive system improves traction in slippery conditions, but places a burden on the 2.7-liter V6 engine. The all-wheel-drive system available with the 3.5-liter engine should work better. If you're in the market for a compact SUV, the exceptionally well-equipped Hyundai Santa Fe, with its attractive styling and competent manners, may be just what you're looking for.

A few months ago, my husband's schedule changed to a standard five-day work week.
I thought that I had finally got this stay-at-home-mom gig down. I had four kids and I loved the chaos of it, and congratulated myself on how well I managed this life. Turns out, I was just propped up by an alternate work schedule that let my husband give me one solid day to myself every week. Now that his work schedule has changed, I've lost my day of solitude.
And everything else got harder.
Without that day away, the whining feels even more like a knife in my ear. The demands are more constant. The clinging wears me out more quickly. I try to get a little solitude by getting up earlier than the kids, but they catch on quick, and one or two will get up when they hear my shower, and there is no time for a cup of coffee by myself.
I can do this. I don't doubt I can do this. But I wish it were a little easier.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has fumed that he is responsible for his side's 1-0 defeat to Granada on Saturday evening.
A bizarre Cristiano Ronaldo own goal - the first of his career - handed the hosts a fairytale lead, when the winger's attempted clearance of a corner glanced wrongly off his head and flew into Diego Lopez's net.
Karim Benzema had the opportunity to cap off a Blancos fightback at the death, but shockingly side-footed wide from point-blank range to epitomise a miserable outing for the Spanish champions.
"When we win and everyone plays well it's the result of self management, but when we lose it's the responsibility of the coach," an irate Mourinho thundered at reporters. "So we didn't play well today, we weren't ourselves, so now I'm the one responsible.
"We didn't manage a draw, and the result bothers me. It bothers me also that in the first half we were terrible, and, even if we tied in the second half, there would have been very little to be satisfied about."
The 50-year-old found fault with Barcelona again, citing the Liga leaders as having an extra day to recuperate after their Copa del Rey encounter on Wednesday night.
"It's been clear for a long time that teams do not have control of their calendar. It was a huge and physically exhausting game on Wednesday, yet one team plays today, while the other plays tomorrow. It has always been the case," he continued caustically.
"A few of our players who played today were tired, because they worked tremendously in the full game against Barcelona.
"But I don't know why there were others who played today and were tired, yet they were either on the bench, or in the stands, on Wednesday."
Mourinho's season with Madrid has become dogged with frequent public run-ins with his squad, leading to rumours of him losing the support of his players growing in number.

A monkey joins Jane Krakowski in her new Trop50 commercials, but that's not the only cuddly set visitor she's had.
Son Bennett Robert, 4 months, was a hit during his first trip to see Mom at work, Krakowski tells PEOPLE.
"He loved it," the 30 Rock star, 42, says. "He had a great time meeting everybody — he's a people person."
Bennett, who arrived in April, got his name because the moniker was "always stuck" in Krakowski and Robert Godley's heads after a search.
"It's an English name on my fiancé's side," she explains. "We went through all the names on both sides. He came out and he looked like a Bennett! It suited him."
And it appears Bennett has inherited more than just his name: he's also a redhead.
"[His hair] was quite strawberry blonde when he was born, but it's gone more red now," shares Krakowski. "Both of our moms have red hair so we think he got that recessive gene!"
Krakowski, who's nominated for an outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series Emmy for her role as Jenna Maroney, is excited for the ceremony — and fitting into her dress.
"Good old-fashioned hard work is the way I'm getting rid of the baby weight," she notes. "I've been spinning a lot and working out with a personal trainer. I'm excited to get into my Emmy dress!"

DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove School District 58 Board approved its tentative property tax levy Oct. 15, requesting an increase of 1.7 percent over last year, plus any new construction.
The school district won't know the amount of new construction until the spring, but the tentative levy estimates an increase of 1 percent. Controller Jim Popernik said that new construction will probably be closer to a half percent when numbers come in this spring.
The state caps school district's property tax levy increases by the prior year's consumer price index, or 5 percent, whichever is lower, plus any new construction. CPI is essentially the inflation rate. Last year it was 1.7 percent.
The total levy, if counting a 1 percent rise in new construction, plus the 1.7 CPI increase, would come to $51,826,874. That's a 2.7 percent increase over last year's levy of $50,427,316.
"A 2.7 percent levy increase just kind of maintains what we already have," Popernik said. "We are pretty close to running a balanced budget every year, so that levy increase is designed to keep all of our programs in place, and not make any radical changes."
A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 12, and the board would officially adopt the levy Dec. 9.

I don't think it makes sense to render it that way in English because it does not make sense at all in English. If I had to put it into proper English I would have no choice but to render with the past tense, as Stephen pointed out in his first post:davidmccollough wrote:Eeli Kaikkonen wrote:You have missed the obvious. All your examples have a (main) verb of human cognition: seeing, understanding etc. In many respects they behave in the same way that verbs of speaking etc. so that the subordinate verb is in the present tense - as if it were "direct discourse". I don't have any books at hand, but I remember seeing something about it in Rijksbaron's book about Greek verb, and possibly also in Robertson.
This explanation is strictly grammatical, but I find it easy to understand it from an experiental standpoint. It is like taking the place of the person who perceives: They saw: "Hey, he eats with sinners".
Thank you! So if Acts 8:18 is seen as direct discourse then would it be rendered with the reader experiencing it firsthand, as in, Simon saw: "the Spirit is given through the laying on of the apostles' hands"?
"Simon seeing that the spirit was given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles,"
Correct; the present tense denotes present fact with respect to the time in focus, which in this case is the time that "[the] Lord saw" / "Naomi saw" / "[the] woman realised". It brings us to view the event from that perspective.davidmccollough wrote:1) Present tense used to state a fact valid in the storyworld at a particular time in the storyworld:
a. (Gen 29:31). "And the Lord, having seen that Leah is hated, opened her womb…." In this case, no one would think that the narrator hates Leah. The narrator uses the present tense to state a fact valid in the storyworld at a specific time in the storyworld. There is no metalepsis.
b. (Ruth 1:18). "And Naomi, having seen that she is determined to go with her, stopped speaking to her anymore." Again, the narrator uses the present tense to state a fact valid in the story world at a particular time in the storyworld.
c. (Lk 7:37). "…and having known that he is reclining in the house of the Pharisee…." A Lukan example of the same idea.
No; the present tense still denotes the present fact, that at that time (though not just one point in time) the scribes saw that he ate with sinners and tax collectors. Like before, the present brings us to view the situation from their perspective at that time. In their shoes we would say, "Look! He eats with them!", and it would be right to use the present tense for it is a present situation.davidmccollough wrote:2) A general statement of fact valid in the story world and unrelated to any specific point in time. (Mark 2:16) "And the scribes of the Pharisees, having seen that he eats with the sinners and tax collectors, were saying to his disciples…." The idea here is not that his eating occurred at the time of their seeing, but that they recognized a characteristic – he eats with sinners.
No; for the same reason. Just because the statement is true at other times does not mean that the present tense is not used to denote its present truth with respect to the time in focus. Whether or not the island was previously called Malta or still called Malta at the time of the writing of Acts is irrelevant. The present tense simply means that at the time those people recognised the island, it was called Malta. It is to me exactly the same as when someone introducing a place to us for the first time says, "This place is ...". In English we can only use the past tense to describe a recollection of that event, which is in the past with respect to our time of recollection, but in Greek we can use the present tense to re-enact the perspective at that time.davidmccollough wrote:3) A statement of fact unrelated to any specific point in time and valid for both the storyworld and narrator's world.
a. (Acts 28:1). "And having been brought safely through, we then recognized that the island is called Malta." The island is called Malta, both at the time of the event narrated in the story and at the time of the narration of the story.
b. (Acts 8:18). "And Simon, having seen that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Spirit is given, offered them money…." Simon, at a specific point in storytime observed a general principle which the narrator himself considers valid. This shift from reality in the storyworld to reality in the narrator's world is metalepsis.
For the same reasons I don't really consider the historical present to be really a different usage of the Greek present tense. In similar manner the present tense in Acts 8:18 is portray Simon's perspective at the time he saw it. Anyway this is just my opinion and nothing more.

When you're traveling to or through Virginia, there are places you really must see. A lot of them, actually, but here are nine that rise to the top when considering historic, national and natural significance. Indeed, I'd call them "bucket list" worthy.
Monticello was the home of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States. Jefferson began construction of Monticello in 1769, but was known to redesign and remodel. One large, final remodeling effort began in 1796 and was completed in 1809.
In 1987 Monticello was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the same time the Great Wall of China, the Acropolis in Athens, the city of Venice and its lagoon, and the Roman City of Bath in the United Kingdom were also tapped. That's quite a distinguished list, and Monticello is the only home in America to be recognized as such.

Colonial Williamsburg was the Capital of Virginia from 1699 to 1780. The 301 acres include 88 original 18th-century structures, and hundreds of reconstructed houses, shops and public outbuildings that stand on their original foundations. Wherever you venture in this historic district, you'll be greeted by costumed interpreters depicting life at the edge of Revolution.
Mount Vernon was the plantation home of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Considered the most popular historic estate in America, Mount Vernon is comprised of the main mansion, more than a dozen original structures, a working blacksmith shop, and more across nearly 50 acres.
Appomattox Court House National Historical Park is the site of Lee's surrender to Grant to end the American Civil War in April 1865. In 1930 Congress passed a bill to provide a monument at the site of the old Appomattox courthouse. The monument was never built, but the buildings of the village were either restored or reconstructed. Of note is the actual surrender site, the McLean House, and Clover Hill Tavern, the oldest structure within the park.
More than 200,000 veterans and their dependents are interred at Arlington National Cemetery, a site of more than 612 acres. Every conflict in which the United States has fought is represented by those laid to rest. Memorial sites include the Tomb of the Unknowns and the eternal flame at the grave site of John F. Kennedy.
The Virginia State Capitol was designed by Thomas Jefferson and first occupied in 1788 by Virginia's General Assembly, America's oldest English-speaking legislature. It is the first American State Capitol designed after the Revolutionary War and the first public building in the New World to be constructed in the form of a classic Roman temple. Free one-hour guided tours are offered daily or visitors may also tour on their own.
The aptly named Humpback Bridge in Covington is the oldest of Virginia's surviving covered bridges, and is a rare example of an arched bridge. It was built in 1857 and spans 100 feet. Traffic has not traveled over it since a steel replacement bridge was constructed upstream in 1929.
A natural rock arch, the Natural Bridge serves as a witness to history. It was surveyed by a young, pre-presidential George Washington, and was later owned by Thomas Jefferson. It served as a shot tower during the Revolutionary War, and ammunition was manufactured for both the War of 1812 and the Civil War up the trail from the bridge at Saltpeter Cave and Lost River. Prior to any of that history, however, is Monacan Indian lore that includes the bridge appearing as an escape route when an enemy tribe was in pursuit.
Skyline Drive is a Virginia treasure spanning 105 miles through Shenandoah National Park until it meets the Blue Ridge Parkway. Travelers of the drive can expect to see plenty of wildlife – as many as 200 species, in fact, including black bear, deer, fox, and raccoon.
What other sites would you add to your personal list of "must see" destinations in Virginia? Leave a comment!

Celine Dion meets man who made viral video in Las Vegas airport
Canadian singer Celine Dion has made good on a promise to invite Richard Dunn, who filmed a video that went viral of him singing her version of 'All By Myself' alone in the Las Vegas airport, to one of her shows.
Dunn and his family met Dion backstage at her Caesars Palace show on American Independence Day after she invited the former-Moncton man to her concert in a YouTube post of her own.
In a video of the visit, Dion can be seen telling Dunn about her favourite parts of his video, which has received more than 16 million views on Vimeo, and posing for photos with his family.
"She didn't rush the time, it was so conversational and so warm and inviting. She is as personable as you would think she would be," Dunn told CBC News. "To say that I'm flattered is just a massive understatement that they have been so comfortable and confident with what I would do with this that they have allowed us free reign with the video and interviews and sending these pictures out."

The Browns fell to the Denver Broncos 34-12 on Sunday, and Cleveland's two first-round draft picks departed the game with injuries.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
Quarterback Brandon Weeden left the game with a right shoulder injury after being slammed to the turf by Broncos pass rusher Von Miller on a brutal third-quarter sack. Backup Colt McCoy took over the rest of the way as Weeden -- wincing in pain -- headed for the locker room.
"I'm all right," Weeden told the Akron Beacon Journal after the game, in which he finished 12-of-19 passing for 104 yards without a touchdown or an interception.
Running back Trent Richardson suffered an ankle injury late in the fourth quarter and was carted off the field after the game ended. He left the stadium in a walking boot, but he told the Beacon Journal that his ankle wasn't broken. The rookie rushed for 53 yards on nine carries and broke Jim Brown's franchise rookie rushing record in the process. Richardson has 950 yards in 15 starts.
Both players have been durable participants for a Browns team that committed this season to infusing the roster with youth. Progress was made, but not enough, and vast changes appear to be ahead for the organization. Richardson's spot is secure, but Weeden will be examined thoroughly as new ownership -- and likely a new coaching staff -- decide if the team has found its passer of tomorrow.

Personal Perspective: My Body and My Mind
Summer 2005
Little did I know when I tested positive in 1987 that such a cruel fate awaited me. I probably would have made a deal with the devil if I could live into the new millennium with my wife and children some eighteen years after my diagnosis and still be relatively healthy. Over the last nine years, when I look in the mirror, I think I did just that.
Lipodystrophy is a cruel reminder of living with HIV and the medications that I've taken for most of the past seventeen years. I only expected to be on medication for a short time, since most of the people I ran with were dying of AIDS, drug overdoses, suicide, or toxicity from AZT.
Oh yeah, I had a real good shot at a decent life. I started taking AZT in 1988, Videx in the early '90s, and then a combination of two nucleosides (if memory serves me). Life was going along pretty damn good despite my diagnosis. I was married to a wonderful, supportive woman, had two healthy, beautiful children, had a good job, and was in relatively good health. All that changed in 1996 when I started a new cocktail that included Invirase from a new class of drugs called protease inhibitors (PIs), that would make AIDS a chronic illness. But at what price?
Six to eight months after starting this new cocktail, I felt the first of what would be many changes in my body. My nipples started to hurt -- and not in a pleasant way. I had breast enlargement, buffalo hump, and wasting in my face, arms, legs, and butt. My neck felt as though it belonged on a man much heavier than me. I weighed about 187, but I looked like I weighed at least 220. The glands on both sides of my face were always swollen. It was like having a balloon full of gelatin wrapped around my neck. If I leaned to the right, my neck took the lead and hung away from my body. And if I leaned to the left, the same thing happened on that side. When I walked fast or jogged slowly, the fat around my neck would swing in the opposite direction from the rest of my body. When my movement took my body up, my neck and chin lagged behind, and when my body came down, my neck and chin would still be on the rise and then come crashing into the bottom and sides of my face. I was not a happy camper. I felt like a cross between Humpty Dumpty and Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein! Yikes! I didn't understand that all of these things were related. Lipo was a new phenomenon, so the whole package was pretty startling to me. What would I do?
The first thing I did, in 1997, was to switch from Invirase to the non-nuke Viramune. I developed a rash and had to switch that regimen. It was 1998 now and Sustiva had come out, but again I had a bad reaction. I felt like a zombie from lack of sleep, and when I did sleep, I felt like I was possessed by the devil with crazy, crazy dreams. I stuck it out, even though the side effects never went away. But my body started yet another metamorphosis, for better and for worse. To my surprise, my chin and neck shrank back to normal (pre-Invirase) size and my buffalo hump shrank (but didn't disappear). Unfortunately, the lipoatrophy in my face and limbs only got worse. This may have been because I lost about thirty pounds without trying to, although no cause was diagnosed. I certainly wasn't on any diet. Quite the contrary. This was a time when people with the virus were encouraged to eat as much as possible and anything we could. Weight loss and weight gain seemed to have a direct effect on my body changes. The less I weighed, the better I felt my upper body looked, and the more I weighed, the more severe the body changes seemed. So I was much happier on the nukes and nonnukes -- even with the bad side effects -- than I was on the protease inhibitors, which made me gain weight.
In 2001, I went to a new doctor and tried a structured treatment interruption for about eight months. I felt a lot better, but my numbers weren't working in my favor, so I started yet another regimen. This one included the protease inhibitor Kaletra. My chin and neck started to balloon again.
I dealt with the body changes the best I could. It was difficult at times, especially when someone would ask a question like whether I had been in an automobile accident. Or whether I was taking steroids. I developed a standard response to these inquiring minds. I would tell people that I was lifting weights with my head. That usually quieted them down -- although I had one guy ask me if I could show him how it was done. People don't mean to be hurtful, but these comments can really mess with your mind.
Anyone who thinks that these body changes aren't physically painful has probably never had lipo or doesn't have a severe case. Just imagine carrying a ten-pound weight around your neck 24/7, 365. It puts an unbelievable amount of strain on your back and neck to the point that discomfort becomes pain. My back now has a permanent arch from hauling around this extra weight all these years.
About two years ago, I started acupuncture to help deal with some of these problems. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. A sense of well-being engulfed my whole body. We worked on the lipo without much success, but my acupuncturist was instrumental in getting rid of my buffalo hump. I was getting my treatment one day when she pointed out a little discolored mole on my shoulder. She encouraged me to have a dermatologist look at it. The dermatologist biopsied the mole, then told me it was a malignant melanoma that I would need to have removed by a plastic surgeon. He gave me some documents to give to the surgeon. He also wrote a letter asking the surgeon to remove my buffalo hump, remove the fat under my chin, and fill in my cheeks Wow! Was this guy aggressive or what?
The surgeon told me I couldn't do it all in one shot, so he asked which one was the most troubling. I didn't have to think twice. Get this hump off my back, pretty please. I had the melanoma and buffalo hump removed together. I asked about payment for the hump, and the plastic surgeon told me that my insurance company (private insurance) covered it since I'm resistant to the nukes (all except Viread) and have a very bad reaction to the nonnukes. Therefore I have to stay on a PI regimen -- I'm now on Reyataz, Norvir, and Viread -- even though the lipodystrophy inhibits my mobility, causing insomnia and neck and back pain, which only gets worse with continued PI therapy. So something good came out of what I thought would be a nasty experience.
I'm now in the process of getting my chin done and am waiting for approval from my insurance company. It may be a struggle because I have a new carrier. The message here is that sometimes the most unlikely sources in life can become our allies. Between my acupuncturist, my doctor, the dermatologist, and the plastic surgeon, everything and everyone came together for a wonderful outcome. I sleep much better these days and have less pain in my back and neck. I hope to have the neck surgery this summer.
So don't isolate yourself and don't give up. Get out there. See different healers and doctors. You can't know when an opportunity will present itself. Be well and stay healthy.
