TE Brandon Williams off to good start at Panthers camp
When the Panthers cut reserve tight end Nelson Rosario on Tuesday, it was good news for more than just Zack Pianalto, the former North Carolina tight end who took his roster spot.
It also was an encouraging sign for rookie tight end Brandon Williams, who is fighting for the third TE spot behind Greg Olsen and Ben Hartsock.
Williams is the epitome of a project. The former Oregon player has been out of football since the spring of 2011, when a collision in the Ducks' spring game led to the discovery that Williams had a spinal condition.
After graduating from Oregon, Williams actually played basketball last winter at Portland Bible College. After hiring a new agent and getting cleared medically, the 6-4, 250-pound Williams went to the super regional combine in Dallas, where the Panthers spotted him.
He missed OTAs and minicamp following minor knee surgery, but has had a good start to camp.
Williams doesn't have blazing speed, but he's fast and athletic enough to get downfield and make plays in the passing game. He's also strong enough to hold up at the point of attack, which was the downfall of Rosario, the former UCLA wideout.
Williams had a nice lock-out block on LB Ben Jacobs earlier this week.
Olsen insisted in the spring the Panthers didn't need to add another tight end following the loss of Gary Barnidge to Cleveland in free agency.
Williams still has a long way to go before making the team. But given his interesting background and promising start to camp, he bears watching.

Panthers sign TE Zack Pianalto, waive Nelson Rosario
The Panthers bulked up their tight ends position with a new addition Tuesday.
Carolina signed former University of North Carolina tight end and third-year player Zack Pianalto on Tuesday while waiving TE Nelson Rosario, the team announced Tuesday afternoon.
Rosario spent all of the 2012 season on the Panthers roster, but head coach Ron Rivera said recently he liked Rosario, a former UCLA wide receiver, as a pass catcher but he struggled to hold up at the point of attack.
At 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, Pianalto brings both size and pass-catching abilities to the Panthers tight end group. He grabbed four passes for 40 yards for Tampa Bay in 2011, appearing in 13 games for the Bucs.
Greg Olsen and Ben Hartsock are 1-2 on the Panthers' depth chart at the position, and Pianalto figures to compete with undrafted rookie Brandon Williams at No. 3. Williams has shown some great athleticism, but the former basketball player has struggled at times this camp with being in the right spot at the right time.

Panthers general manager: Time for Cam Newton to win
Panthers first-year general manager Dave Gettleman believes Cam Newton is the team's quarterback of the future, but said it's time for Newton to win.
Gettleman was hired in January to replace Marty Hurney, who drafted Newton with the first overall pick in 2011. Newton has thrown for more yards than any quarterback in his first two NFL seasons, but has yet to lead the Panthers to a winning season.
"Cam has had the best two years of any rookie quarterback in NFL history. And everybody talks about the other young (quarterbacks)," Gettleman said Tuesday. "What he's done has been completely lost in the sauce because of the elephant in the room – the 13-19 record."
Gettleman was asked whether Newton was the quarterback to build around.
After a pregnant, seven-second pause, Gettleman said; "Yes, he is. But now it's time to win."
Under the new CBA, the Panthers cannot begin negotiating with Newton on a new contract until after this season. His four-year, $22 million deal includes a club option for a fifth year, and the Panthers also could use the franchise tag on Newton.
"Technically, you have rights to him for six years," Gettleman said. "I'm a big believer in letting nature take its course. Things will happen naturally."
As for the Panthers' third-year coach, Gettleman said he set no specific expectations for Ron Rivera beyond winning.
"I didn't set any expectations. I think that's a mistake. My goal was to put them in a position to be successful. … That's been my goal all along," Gettleman said. "I'm giving him all my support and he knows it. We have a very good relationship."

Newton has bad day, throws 2 picks
Cam Newton threw two interceptions, and nearly a third Tuesday in his worst practice of training camp.
Newton, the Panthers' franchise quarterback, was picked off on the first play of a team passing drill by cornerback Captain Munnerlyn, who returned the interception for a touchdown.
Newton was looking for Armanti Edwards on an out route along the left sideline. But he didn't get enough zip on the ball, and Munnerlyn broke in front of Edwards.
Munnerlyn almost had another pick on a poor throw by Newton, who has had a good camp before Tuesday. Linebacker Chase Blackburn had the defense's other interception on a Newton pass across the middle.
"He missed a couple of throws, he was a little bit late coming out (and) throwing to the sideline one time," Rivera said. "And the other time, he made a secondary read and tried to come back to it. He's going to have to speed that up. And those are things that will be corrected."
Newton and the rest of his teammates will get a 24-hour break to rest and regain their energy. The break is mandated under the new CBA.
Because kicker Graham Gano made a 50-yard field goal at the end of practice, Rivera excused players from the scheduled evening meetings. The Panthers will resume drills Thursday.
Several players got an early start on the break. Three veterans were given the day off – wideout Steve Smith, center Ryan Kalil and defensive tackle Dwan Edwards.
Rivera said he had hoped to see a couple of the other receivers step up in Smith's absence.

Mitchell and Campbell competing for starting strong safety
SPARTANBURG It's still early, but the Panthers' secondary--the biggest positional question mark this preseason--is starting to take shape.
Charles Godfrey is holding down the free safety position while Drayton Florence and Captain Munnerlyn have been getting the bulk of first-team reps at the cornerback positions.
Free-agent acquisition Mike Mitchell has been making noise at strong safety this camp, especially the past two days. Mitchell picked off a Cam Newton pass intended for tight end Greg Olsen after making a dive for the grab and holding on.
It was the second consecutive day Mitchell had an interception.
"We always felt his strengths would be once we got into pads," Rivera said. "He's done well, as has D.J. Campbell. It's a very good battle shaping up at the strong safety position. We're excited about what we're seeing right now."
Campbell started the final four games of last season at strong safety after the team slid Godfrey to free safety.
The Panthers showed interest in free-agent safety Quintin Mikell this month, and he's still on the market.
Of note: Panthers owner/founder Jerry Richardson made his training camp debut Monday. He drove around on his golf cart accompanied by two notable friends: NBA legend Jerry West and longtime sports broadcaster Jim Gray.

Kugbila carted off with hamstring injury
Panthers rookie guard Edmund Kugbila's NFL career is off to a rough start.
The fourth-round pick from Valdosta (Ga.) State injured his hamstring Saturday during the Panthers' second training camp practice. The injury comes after Kugbila missed most of OTAs and minicamp with a left knee injury.
Kugbila was carted to the training room after he was injured early in Saturday's practice.
"He tweaked his hamstring," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. "So we'll see how he is and we'll treat him day by day."
Rivera said Kugbila's injury "probably" was related to his inactivity during the spring, but pointed out that he's not a doctor.
Kugbila was working with the second team, behind starting right guard Geoff Hangartner, before leaving practice.

Beason takes pay cut in restructured deal
Panthers linebacker Jon Beason agreed to a significant pay cut this season, although Beason can recoup a lot of the money by staying healthy and remaining on the roster.
Under the terms of his restructured contract, Beason's base salary drops from $5.25 million to $1 million guaranteed, a league source with knowledge of the contract told the Observer on Friday.
Beason earns a $500,000 roster bonus Saturday, and can collect an additional $1.75 million in roster bonuses throughout the season. The contract also includes a $500,000 bonus if Beason makes the Pro Bowl a fourth time.
The restructuring drops Beason's cap figure from $9.5 million to $5.75 million, counting Saturday's roster bonus.
The rest of Beason's base salaries remained unchanged through the 2016 season, creating the potential for another restructuring next year when his cap figure is $10.75 million.

Newton focused on wins, not contract
When Cam Newton was asked about his reaction to Matt Ryan's new $100 million contract, the Panthers quarterback smiled.
"I didn't think anything," Newton said. "Good for him, but nothing more than that."
Quarterbacks across the league have been cashing in this offseason with monster deals, beginning with Joe Flacco and continuing through Ryan. Newton, who missed out on millions as the first No. 1 pick signed under the new collective bargaining agreement, said Friday he's not concerned about his next contract.
"The only thing that's on my mind right now is a three-letter word. I think y'all know what that three-letter word is," said Newton, referring to his desire to win.
Newton, who is 13-19 as a starter, signed a guaranteed four-year, $22 million deal in 2011 that includes a club option for a fifth year. Compare that to the six-year, $78 million contract Sam Bradford received as the No. 1 pick the previous year.
Under the terms of the CBA, players can not begin renegotiating their rookie contracts until the end of their third season.
New general manager Dave Gettleman has been clearing cap space since he arrived in January, when the Panthers were $16 million over the cap. He'll have to clear more if the Panthers want to lock Newton up after this season.
In the meantime, a lighter, leaner Newton is looking to continue his development after two record-setting seasons that did not include as many wins as he envisioned.
If Newton set any specific goals for his third year, he didn't share them with the media.
"It's easy for people to just go and shoot off goals that they want, and I think it would be cliché right now," he said. "For us it's going to be hard work and dedication."

Dear Editor:
Despite your having to defend your math regarding how many illegal aliens are living among us, you make a good point that legalization seems the only practical alternative to doing nothing. The various estimates of these clandestine residents are on a par with the old arguments of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. I think most of us can agree there are about a jillion and proceed from there. What I find troubling is that this seems always offered as "part of the solution." Without a comprehensive plan that meets the needs of sensible border control, legalization will again be an invitation to another round in the future, just as it was in 1986.

Discussion in 'Black Hat SEO Tools' started by Alexander Dombroff, Oct 13, 2009.
Anyone use UBot?
Didn't find much on the forums, considering buying it.
no idea bro.
Well this sure did spark my interest!
I guess I'm going to have to get this one, I'll let everyone know how well it works.
Am sure this is just like imacros but with extra features like conditional statements. I don find anything different in this.. Well may be the captcha and other few things are interesting...
I've actually watched all the videos and imacro's has nothing on this. It has constants and flow conditions only comparable to "Automate" Automation Anywhere or the likes.
Im considering it because it's built for bots. Like for username all you have to do is select $username and it randomly picks user names based on sex. It has all these built functions like this for Bot making. Where as the other software's are generic and not specific like this.
This is crap.
I have it too and it has a lot of bugs.
The .exe files created with it does not even work.
Since last week they raised the price to $245, before that it was $145.
My personal opinion: stay with imacros
Ah man are you serious, damn they make it sound so good. I was even browsing through the tutorials and seems like it would be better than Imacros. Anyway thanks for the heads up...
Anyone else care to share some experiences with this software?
I was going to purchase it last night, but they dont offer any guarantee, so I hesitated.
You can signup their forum for free there you can read it all.
I don't even understand why they raised the price with $100 and the bugs keep coming.
And you must purchase it because they don't offer a demo of the software.
Believe me it's big crap (at the moment).
Imacros is widely used and is top notch stuff.
I still wait untill the day Iopus let us be able to create .exe files from the macros we create though.
LOL this is like the most complicated way to create bots...it might be powerful, but it looks extremely uncomfortable, unintuitive and messy...it's better to use iMacros or learn VB.NET or C#. The guy who created the software is probably the only person who knows how to use it
(Just thinking out loud.) I should learn about iMacros. It might be interesting. I hope it's free.
Imacros is not free.
Well they have a free version, pretty basic but can do simple tasks.
If you want to make advanced macros it cost $400-$500.
Absolutely agree. Ubot is crap!
Imacros scripting edition is in the downloads section
I have free version that owner shared here. Not sure how different is from this pro one but it doesn't create any .exe's, it just makes some "scripts" that could be used through software itself. Nothing spectacular but since I don't have idea about coding it was handy for me in few things I worked on before.
If that's the same software at all. It does have same name
can i get some opinions here? I currently use automate. Which do you think is better? That or iMarco?
The problem with Automate and Imacros is that they aren't self contained so you cant run multiple instances on one machine unless you use VMWare or something similar. Im curious as to what specifics you guys say is crap about Ubot? It seems to have every feature wanted for making bots and the ability to package into an exe is awesome.
Ubot is nothing compared to Winautomation - it automates windows AND web stuff. You can also create exe's with winAutomation too. It's cheaper as well. And the owners are coming out with a kickass suite directly for Internet marketing. This guy automated a whole suite of bots that set up automated clickbank sites. It does image recognition and also interacts with 3rd party API!
Go with winAutomation, it's the best!
Is winautomation easy to use to create account and submit directory like UBot ?
Must admit I have just bought ubot and its a bit buggy and I thought it would be easy to use as I have a coding background, I was a bit wrong.
Will keep trying and see what happens.
If you read you should already have read it here.
Ubot has lots of bugs and the .exe files that are created with Ubot are NOT working.
If anyone is planning to buy this, there are numerous coupons out there that reduce the price by about $50 I believe. Do a search on Google and you'll find what you're looking for. I was quite interested in this myself...but I'd prefer a bot that specifically does what it's made for and is really good/efficient at it.
Separate names with a comma.

"The first thing I said to him was, 'I want to meet the guy who has had so much to say about me, but knows absolutely nothing about me…"
Ludacris' longstanding beef with Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly is officially over.
Luda deaded his beef with the shock-commentator known for his politically incorrect, biased and often irrational opinions, largely responsible for Luda losing an endorsement from Pepsi.
Luda says after 8 years of brewing issues, he confronted O'Reilly at a recent event and approached him saying,
"I want to meet the guy who has had so much to say about me, but knows absolutely nothing about me…"
He tells RadarOnline.com that he saw O'Reilly's name on the guest list at an event and surprised him by walking over to see him.
"He wasn't expecting to see me, at all. The look on his face when he saw me approaching… priceless."
Unbeknownst to many, Luda tells RadarOnline.com that the unlikely pair ended their feud amicably and even hosted a charity event together.
"From there, we came to a common ground. To be honest with you, we came together and did an event for charity – as crazy as it sounds. Perhaps everything happens for a reason."
Bill O'Reilly called for a boycott of Pepsi after they named Ludacris as a spokesman in 2002 leading to him lose the endorsement deal.
Luda retaliated with several disses in several of his song's including 2003's "Blow It Our You're A**"
Way to be the bigger man Luda, good for you!

McAfee has issued a patch for a flaw in its hosted anti-malware service Total Protection which allowed spammers to hijack customers machines to serve spam.
McAfee said in a blog post announcing the patch that there was no evidence of any loss of customer data in relation to two threats to customers.
"In the first, an attacker might misuse an ActiveX control to execute code. The second involves a misuse of our "rumor" technology to allow an attacker to use an affected machine as an "open relay," which could be used to send spam," wrote David Marcus McAfee's security research director.
Marcus said a patch by McAfee that dealt with a similar issue last August prevented any risk to customer data, however the remaining problems allowed spammers to "bounce off" affected machines, resulting in an increase in outbound email.
Tipping Point, HP's network division security unit, discovered the flaw last April, but released details last week, despite the lack of a patch. The unit maintains a policy to disclose a flaw three months after notifying the affected vendor.
Marcus said customers around the world should receive the patch automatically on either 18 or 19 January.

comparator. These features, along with a wide operating supply range, make the
ADS101x-Q1 well suited for power- and space-constrained, sensor measurement
The ADS101x-Q1 perform conversions at data rates up to 3300 samples per
second (SPS). The PGA offers input ranges from ±256 mV to ±6.144 V, allowing precise large- and
small-signal measurements. The ADS1015-Q1 features an input
multiplexer (MUX) that allows two differential or four single-ended input measurements. Use the
digital comparator in the ADS1014-Q1 and ADS1015-Q1 for under- and overvoltage detection.
The ADS101x-Q1 operate in either continuous-conversion mode or
single-shot mode. The devices are automatically powered down after one conversion in single-shot
mode; therefore, power consumption is significantly reduced during idle periods.

Dervla Lacy: Curb drinking
April 12, 2009
Steamboat Springs — The problem of underage drinking is pervasive within our country as well as our community. Routt County has the dubious distinction of leading Colorado in underage alcohol-related infractions, with averages well above national norms, as well. Routt County had the most minor in possession (MIP) and juvenile driving under the influence (DUI) violations in the state in 2005 and 2007. Additionally, underage youths in Routt County report above-average responses related to lifetime alcohol use, binge drinking and ease of obtainment of alcohol. These figures are alarming and eye-opening. It is clear from our local and national statistics that underage drinking is a crucial problem within our society.
Research has indicated that underage youths often procure alcohol at parties where parents and other adults have left them unsupervised. The Steamboat Springs Police Department recently published results from March 2009's alcohol compliance checks: 0 of 13 establishments checked sold alcohol to underage youths, representing a 100 percent compliance rate, as opposed to a 67 percent baseline compliance rate in 2005. As evident from these recent alcohol compliance check figures, underage youths in Steamboat Springs are not obtaining alcohol from our local liquor stores and bars.
Thus, if underage youths are not obtaining alcohol from liquor stores and bars, then how are they getting it? In a survey conducted among youths nationwide, youths reported that 53.4 percent of underage drinkers drank at someone else's home, while another 30.3 percent drank in their own home. Research shows that house parties are the No. 1 setting for binge drinking and other serious crimes, such as sexual assaults and other violence. Often, underage drinking parties occur on private property, but the adults responsible for the property are not present and/or cannot be shown to have furnished the alcohol.
The Social Host Ordinance as proposed by the Excellence Project, which is being considered by City Council on Tuesday, would help to combat underage drinking at house parties. The ordinance would provide a necessary tool for law enforcement to quickly discern the source of the alcohol at house parties. It also will serve as another layer to our community's current comprehensive program to combat and prevent underage drinking.
Similar ordinances are being proposed and adopted in jurisdictions across the country. These laws help to address the enormous problem of underage drinking within the U.S. and are recommended nationwide by many reputable tasks forces. If City Council adopts the proposed ordinance, our community would join numerous others who already have embraced this "tool" as a means to achieving the goal of reducing/preventing underage drinking. Additionally, council would send a clear message to our community that underage drinking is not tolerated within our city, thereby changing existing social norms.
To learn more about Social Host Ordinances, including the one being proposed to City Council, please visit our Web site, http://www.grandfutures.org, or contact me at 970-879-6188 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

COMPANY G, 17th MISSOURI INFANTRY
COMPANY E, 1st MISSOURI ENGINEERS
At 11:00 on the night of June 23 after a nine-hour drive, my son Dominic and I found ourselves crossing the Peace Bridge at Buffalo, NY. At Canadian Customs the agent asked us, "Why are you entering Canada?" We told her we were there for the reenactment of the Fenian Raid; she pointed over her shoulder and said, "It's over there." She explained that there was no $50.00 fee for our muskets because they were to be used in an educational activity. We had no pistols with us since we were warned in the event kit and during two phone conversations with Tim Warnick, the event organizer, not to try to bring them into Canada. A short drive to Old Fort Erie, Ontario, brought us to the camps of what was billed "The 135th anniversary 'Battle of Ridgeway' Fenian Raid".
At the center of the "raid" was the June 2, 1866, Battle of Ridgeway, which was the largest Irish stand-at-arms between the Rising of 1798 and the Irish War of Independence in 1919. Nine hundred Irish soldiers of the Fenian Brotherhood, commanded by Col. John O'Neill, met and defeated thirteen hundred soldiers of the Crown in what was supposed to be a diversion to draw Crown forces away from Montreal and Quebec City. In the end the diversion amounted to the whole fight. US President Johnson, after giving his tacit approval to the planned invasion, reversed himself after Britain paid claims remaining from the Civil War and threatened war if the US did not stop the Fenians. The overall Plan of Attack of Maj. Gen. Thomas Sweeney, commander of the Fenian troops, involved upwards to 30,000 men, the largest part of which were poised in upstate New York for a dash at Montreal once O'Neill's diversion had its effect.
We were beginning our eighth year as reenactors when we saw the announcement of the 135th reenactment of the "Fenian Raid" in the December issue of Camp Chase Gazette; we vowed to attend. We were further enticed by the promise of it being a "One-time living history weekend." We had always portrayed Fenians in our Civil War impressions and always made their cause part of our presentations to groups and spectators at Civil War events. To some extent it was art imitating life in that we were also active in Irish causes when not lost in the '60's.
We pulled into the parking lot on the west bank of the Niagara River. Across the wide stream, the lights of Buffalo glowed. We donned our equipages. We travel light. Since the 135th Gettysburg event, we had moved from "A" tent, to dog, to bedroll or pack and shed coolers, carrying a pound of salted meat per day, a pound of hardtack per day, and coffee. We drifted into this without knowing there was a name for this quest for authenticity. We turned to head for the camps and Old Fort Erie loomed above us. Crossing the road, we entered the Fenian camp. We were greeted by Provost Lenny Denommee (Second Mississippi) and soon the event organizer Tim Warnick (Co. A, Ninth NY Cav.), both Canadian and their units are Canadian. They expressed appreciation and a bit of puzzlement at the fact that we traveled a third of the way across the continent. Our only explanation was that the Fenian "cause" will make you to do things out of the ordinary. We then swung into discussions of events attended, the Canadian reenacting scene and the Missouri reenacting scene. With that we spread our rubber blankets next to a fire, wrapped ourselves in our double blanket, and slept. Our slumber was interrupted by a predawn shower, which caused us to decamp to a huge ancient tree for a few more winks. We rose at dawn to face the day.
The light of the new day revealed a camp of men dressed in a mixture of civilian cloths and Civil War accoutrements. Few of the Fenian units were uniformed. They moved around camp preparing rations, drilling and generally performing camp duties of soldiers in the 1860's. At the far end of the field others were moving about their camps in the same manner but their uniforms were green, with black accoutrements and red, with white accoutrements. They drilled, were inspected, and drilled some more. We had little time to observe our opponents. Dominic and I fell in with the third company portraying the Seventh Fenian Regiment. The drill was the same and, as always, slightly different. It was apparent from the beginning we were with a veteran unit (155th NY).
At the appointed hour the red coats of Brockville Infantry Company and the green jackets of the Queen's Own Rifles and the York and Hamilton Rifles formed up and moved out and disappeared. We were called into ranks. "Right Face - Forward - March!" The ground we marched on and had slept on was not the actual battlefield; that was several miles inland. It was the sight of American earthworks from the War of 1812 whose contours are still plainly visible. Aware of the ground tread over, with Old Fort Erie off to the right, I looked up and caught sight of the Fenian banner. It was green, with the Harp of Erin on it, and the initials "IRA" prominently displayed. The first time "IRA" was used was in the Rising of 1798. Imagine the thrill of those Civil War veterans at the sight of that banner. All the terror, friends lost, relatives lost, the horror, the sickness, and bloodshed had been for this. All the good men lost, Meagher, Cochrane, Roarty, O'Rorke, and, might I add, Cleburne. The heroic stands and charges, all for this. The Irish Brigade at Fredericksburg, the 69th Pennsylvania at the Angle, the 116th Pennsylvania at the Mule Shoe, the Seventh Missouri at Vicksburg, the Fifth Missouri, C.S.A., at Champion Hill, the 23rd Illinois at Lexington, and many more, all for this chance to strike a blow for Ireland's freedom. All that Irish blood spilled for this. Seize British North America, and trade it for Ireland's freedom, or use it as a base to free the Emerald Isle. After all the horror, how could they put one foot in front of the other, one more time? The "cause" will make you do things out of the ordinary.
We are on the field. "Company - Deploy as skirmishers - On the left file - March!" We moved quickly maintaining our intervals. To our front across the field, the enemy was forming into line of battle. Someone said, "Now; we'll get our chance to shoot redcoats." The redcoats advanced, with the green jacketed Rifles as skirmishers. They looked formidable. Those redcoats really work. We've faced greater numbers of gray and butternut troops across that deadly space, who did not seem as ominous. "Skirmishers forward - March!" " Fire! Fire! Fire at will!" We load and fire. The drill takes over. The battlefield shrinks as the lines close. No panorama here just a green jacket, then a red coat. "Extend to the left! Don't let those fellows get through!" A group of Canadian militia had joined their skirmish line. Their line began contracting, "What are they doing?" It was a square. "Haven't seen that since Bull Run," was heard from the ranks. There, with them all bunched up, we did our best work and poured it into them. All that horror did make a difference. This scene drove home to me with all the understatement of a sledgehammer slicing butter the salient difference between the two forces on that field. Though outnumbered, the Irish were veterans to a man, their enemy, though formidable on the drill field, had never been in combat.
I was surprised at my reaction to the field strewn with red and white crumpled shapes. I had anticipated a great thrill at seeing the "enemy" of my people portrayed as cut down. What happened was a soldier's reaction. They had fought well. Their officers thought they were Wellington at Waterloo. There were few rifles at Waterloo. Those soldiers paid the price soldiers always pay when their officers don't know what they are doing. I felt bewildered, if not cheated, but I knew that some of the Fenians would have had the same reaction. Another days work in the soldier's trade.
On the 25th there was a joint memorial service for the dead of both sides. A reenactor portraying John MacDonald, who within a year of Ridgeway would be the Dominion of Canada's first Prime Minister, spoke on the significant of the Battle for Canadians. The Fenian Invasion was the event that finally convinced the colonies of British North America to form the nation of Canada in 1867. Before the reenactment, Mayor Wayne Redehop of Fort Erie spoke, as did Brian Merrett, a Member of the Niagara Parks Commission and Member of Parliament John Malone. The battle was reenacted again before a large and enthusiastic crowd of spectators. Some sported tricolors and there were even Cadets, the equivalent of the Junior ROTC, in the crowd. The Battle on both days was narrated by Ben Maryniak, who is best known for his portrayal of Father Corby in the movie Gettysburg. With the end of the Battle we marched back to camp. We said our good-byes all around and thanked our hosts for providing us with a unique reenacting opportunity. At their advice we did a "drive-by" of Niagara Falls, never having seen the place, and then moved out for the long haul to St. Louis.
All reenactments pale in comparison to the actual event, Pickett's Charge at the 135th being the only exception we've witnessed. On the other hand, the planning of the event organizer and the skill and dedication of the reenactors often create an educational experience for spectators that classrooms and movies never achieve. Often at small events, one hundred fifty reenactors at this event, we still come away with a sense, a feeling, a moment that deepens our understanding of the history and the men we portray. The 135th Anniversary of the Battle of Ridgeway was all of these.
The actual Battle of Ridgeway involved nine hundred Fenians and thirteen hundred Canadian troops, both regulars and militias. Col. John O'Neill, the Fenian commander, had enlisted in the US Army in 1857 and served in the 2nd Cavalry during the Mormon War. During the Civil War, he served as an officer with the 7th Michigan Cavalry and the 15th Colored Infantry. His force contained elements of the 7th, 13th, 17th and 18th Fenian Regiments, and an independent Company from Terre Haute, Ind. They came from New York, Nashville, Louisville, Cleveland, and Terre Haute. The Crown forces included the Queens Own Rifles, the 13th (Hamilton) Battalion, the York and Caledonia Rifle Companies and the Welland Canal Field Battery, sans cannon, but armed with Enfields.
O'Neill's objective was to establish a bridgehead on the west bank of the Niagara River, for the several thousand Fenians waiting in Buffalo. They landed just north of Fort Erie, a crumbing ruin at the time. They then turned north and south pushing aside small detachments of regulars and militia. Once their flanks were secure, the main force pushed west to capture rail transport and the bridges across the Welland Canal. Learning there was a large force on his left flank approaching from the south, O 'Neill determined to fall across their line of march at Ridgeway.
He deployed his forces in two lines with skirmishers out front. The first line was partially masked by the lay of the land with left flank refused to provide enfilading fire. O'Neill took seriously the saying, "five men on the flank are worth fifty in the front." A reserve line was posted behind the first line. The skirmishers were to engage the enemy and then withdraw bringing them into effective range of the first line.
The battle commenced according to plan. The skirmishers engaged the enemy and then withdrew. Unfortunately someone in the first line fired revealing the trap. The Crown forces began to conform to meet this new threat. They advanced, and the Fenians fell back on their reserves. Then the Canadians formed a square. Their officers had seen horseman, and, in the tradition of Wellington, adopted his tactics from Waterloo in 1815. The Fenians, being offered a stationary target in-depth, let them have it. The Fenians had no horsemen with them; no one is sure who they were. The Crown forces retreated in some disorder. O'Neill, not knowing the disposition of other enemy forces in the area, did not pursue. The Fenians soon learned of the US Government's change of heart. O'Neill led a fighting withdrawal.
U.S. Grant had arrived across the Niagara with troops and two gunboats to "observe." Once back in Buffalo, O'Neill and his men joined five thousand of their brothers in a mild detention, while friends in Congress debated repealing the Neutrality Act of 1811, or recognizing the Fenians as belligerents and/or sending troops to help. These efforts led nowhere and resulted in no change in the Fenians position. The debates ended around the 15th of June. The Fenians were paroled and sent home by train at government expense. In some cases their arms followed soon thereafter. Some unfortunate Fenians were captured, twenty-four were condemned to death, but the Canadians did not carry the sentences out, and they were released in the early 1870's.
Canadian re-enacting units that participated as Fenians, in the 135th Anniversary Battle of Ridgeway included Co. A, 9th NY Cavalry, the 2nd Mississippi, 18th Mississippi, 21st Mississippi, 10th Louisiana, and the 49th New York. We were impressed at the events attended by some of these reenactors: the 125th Gettysburg and performing in movies such as Gettysburg. The only US unit there was the 155th New York along with Dominic and I. Portraying the Crown Forces were the Queen's Own Rifles, actually an official Canadian Militia unit, similar to the National Guard and the oldest continuing unit in the Canadian Defense Forces, 12th York Battalion, Brockville Infantry Company, and the Caledonian Rifles. The Queens Own Rifles' Maj. Eric Simondson commanded the Crown forces. The Canadian Defense Forces take the history of their units very seriously.
The after action report from Tim Warnick is very positive. The Provincial Parks Commission had a change of heart. They were impressed by the positive comments of spectators that reflected Civil War reenactors emphasis on their role as living historians. They were also relieved that the current situation on the north of Ireland did not draw the Fenians' cause into the 21st century at the reenactment at least. The commission has moved from tepid support for a 140th event to enthusiastic support for a preparatory event to the 140th on June 29 and 30, 2003. Warnick is already moving ahead to create an event that will not only involve more reenactors but will more accurately portray the action at and around Ridgeway.

Only 6 months for HSV-2
I have had genital herpes for almost 3 years. I am looking for some friends who are willing to talk about it. I only had one outbreak when I was diagnosed, but I don't know what to do if I have viral shedding or if some day I get another outbreak. I am afraid I will never find anyone who would spend his life with me because of this. I took every precaution that I know. I was very depressed. I'm really hoping to hear of some new treatment for this. Thanks for your advice and response.
HSV-2 is not that big a deal. Something like 1 in 8 men and 1 in 4 women have it already. It is likely that a good many potential sexual partners you meet already have it.
It's not too much of an inconvenience, I've heard, after the first few outbreaks (which can be severe). There are antiviral medications you can take during an outbreak to shorten its length and lessen its severity, and those are best talked about with a doctor, not me.
Avoid sexual contact when you have an outbreak--it's the time you're most likely to pass it on. The disease can shed asymptomatically, also, though that is much less common. Also, use condoms. It doesn't totally negate risk, but it really helps.
I don't have any HSV, but a guy I'm seeing (Sven) has HSV-1. He has had it for many years and rarely gets outbreaks anymore. My husband and I talked about how we were willing to assume the small risk of my getting HSV-1. Sven has had one outbreak (the first for several years) during our involvement. I didn't engage in any contact with his mouth until it had cleared up. It was a little over a week. Not a big deal.
Don't panic. You'll be fine! What you have is common.
Oh, also, I'm not sure whether you are a man or a woman. If you are a woman, and are pregnant and have an outbreak around the time of delivery, they will do a C-section to avoid passing the virus to the baby.
Also, most people have had at least some kind of herpes in their lives--chicken pox is also herpes! It just has less stigma because we don't associate it with sex.
Shingles is a form of herpes also.
Some people feel that herpes is something horrible, others just consider it a pesky skin condition. I guess it depends on where your outbreak occurs. Some people get genital herpes right on their genitalia, others on their butt cheeks, and you can get it on your face. You can have oral herpes (HSV1) on the genitals, too. I assume you know where your outbreak occurs and how often.
A close friend of mine has HSV2 and I spent many nights talking with him about it and helping him find info on it. But he did some fantastic research on his own. I will share what I remember...
Once exposed to the virus, it lives in the spinal nerves. The virus is considered latent while hiding out in the spinal column, but can still become active, usually during times of stress. When an outbreak happens, the virus replicates and travels through the nerves to the skin. The outbreak will always stay localized to the area of the skin that is "served" by the nerves it lodges in (that region is called a dermatone). So, there is no reason to worry about it spreading elsewhere on your body. Some studies have shown that having HSV2 might offer a little resistance to getting HSV1, but apparently there's a lot of debate about that.
HSV can also "shed" its "particles" (and make it possible to infect someone) without any obvious symptoms. Suppressive therapy with a drug called Valtrex, or its generics acyclovir or valacyclovir, is supposed to be very helpful. It prevents outbreaks and suppresses asymptomatic shedding of the virus. It can be taken once a day (this is what my friend does). This family of drugs inhibits viral replication (and therefore shedding) by providing phony DNA building blocks. The virus needs the DNA building block to replicate, grabs the drug's molecule, and is fooled by it. When it goes to attach the next molecule in order to replicate and create a chain that leads to the skin, it can't find where it's supposed to attach. The drug doesn't provide the right attachment for it. Hence, no outbreak or shedding.
Apparently, the drugs in this family seem to work a little differently for different people. So someone he knows had to switch to Valtrex, but my friend found valacyclovir to work really well for him and he doesn't have outbreaks anymore. He also takes supplements like Lysine and herbs to support his immune system. It seems that the reason outbreaks happen during times of stress is because stress affects our immune systems. So, if you strengthen and support your immune system, it can help prevent the herpes virus from finding a "reason" to show up again. Your doctor should be willing to work with you on finding the right suppressive drug for you. My friend says there are no side effects.
Of course, it's still important to use barrier protection during sex, even if you are taking drugs for it.

The reality is that up to 85% of the population has ALREADY been exposed to either HSV1 or HSV2. That means that already have the virus in their body - regardless of symptoms.
This comes from years and years of people thinking that cold sores are "not a big deal" (let me tell you - as someone who has cold sores, they are a VERY big deal)
You CAN avoid transmission. I have it - my husband has never had an outbreak - but we assume he has the antibodies.

I forgot to add that other good ways of strengthening your immune system include proper diet, exercise, and rest.
Having a cold sore is 'no big deal' - in that it doesn't have the same social stigma of being a "diseased whore" - you're just unfortunate that your mother or grandmother or aunt or uncle who had cold sores kissed you as a child.
The reality is that genital herpes is a 'gentler' virus, and that oral herpes is more likely to move around on various parts of your body, potentially causing blindness and other issues if it gets into the brain.
Both viruses like to stay in their "home territory" but will happily take up residence in other locations (IE: oral on the genitals and vice versa)
The viruses share about 50% dna - so they are fairly similar.
What pisses me off the most is the social stigma.
Oh. And the excruciating pain when you pee because you're stressed and having a fucking flare.

I can see now that you're talking about how genital herpes has more of a stigma than oral herpes, and that's probably true. Just like I pointed out that chicken pox has less of a stigma than either of those other herpes strains. The more they have to do with sex, the more people judge you for getting it. Because sex is bad, apparently, and you're a bad person if you have sex.
My husband has been dating somebody with HSV-2, when she found out she had two people she'd been dating who pretty much broke up with her immediately. She has dealt with a lot of rejection she says. Of course she has also met a lot of people who haven't rejected her, and she has a pretty active dating life. She discloses to people in the first or second message exchange.
The worst part for me is that she said two different poly guys she met on OK cupid said they have it, but only told her because she has it, and they do not tell people they date that they have it.
I went to get tested because after seeing the statistics I figured I should not assume that I don't have it (including that 80% of people who have it don't know) so that my husband wasn't precluded from being more intimate with her on the assumption that we don't have it. I haven't been exposed, but ironically while I was waiting for my results my boyfriends girlfriend ended up testing positive, so there's a holding pattern while they decide what to do. I don't WANT HSV-2 of course, but I do not think the having it is as bad as the social stigma surrounding it, and would not stop being intimate with him because of that. I think a lot more people are willing to take a risk with HSV-2 than you might think/feel at this moment - there was a thread about it recently on fetlife in the poly and kinky group, and mainly it seemed people with compromised immune systems that were more vehement that they couldn't take the risk.
So I would say be matter of fact about it, don't feel ashamed or treat it as if it's something horrible. Have the research read so you can answer questions if people have them. If you meet somebody you really like, don't feel like you can't gently suggest they get tested too since so many people don't know they have it. The less you make is seem like a "big deal" the less others are going to jump to the conclusion it's a "big deal"
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.

I have come to believe that somehow I am being led from place to place just to meet these incredible people! You may never see them again in your life, but there is something perfect about the bonds you make in those special random coincidental meetings.
You're part of the here and now, part of the daily experience of living life and of appreciating every moment.
Walking means freedom. It's primal, stretching the physical limits of heart and feet to become less cerebral creature and more wild animal. I love the remarkably simple, positively monotonous rhythm of my own footsteps; a soothing mantra that quiets the concerns of a spinning mind.
Walking for me is slow travel, slowed right down to its most basic form. It continues to amaze me that, one step after the next after the next, I actually cover very long distances, much longer than I could have imagined. What's better, compared to other forms of travel, walking affords me a much deeper connection to the landscape and the villages and fields I journey through.
Participating in California history through hiking the El Camino is an exciting experience. It melds the past with the now and allows hikers of all abilities to be a part of the wonderful story of California.
[Pómniv] covers all of the 21 California Missions from San Diego to the northern most mission, San Rafael Arcangel. Most of us have covered all of this or some of it by car and perhaps think we know it. But on foot it comes to life in a way that you could never imagine. It was my pleasure to spend four days walking with Ilia from the Santa Barbara Mission, Buena Ventura Mission and almost all the way to the San Fernando Mission. It was a blast from the neighborhood markets, unknown cafe/restaurants, the scenic serene back roads of Santa Barbara, the glorious vistas along the coast from Carpenteria to Ventura, traversing the Santa Susana Pass from Simi Valley to the San Fernando Valley and walking around and through in awe at the historical beauty of the missions themselves. If you have only half the enjoyment and pleasure that I had then you will feel that you had experience much more than you had hoped for.
A journey into the history, sights, and culture of CA.
Pómniv (meaning both 'trail', and "his/her/its past tracks" in the Luiseño/Payómkawichum/Pechanga Indian language) is an 800 mile historic urban and rural route. It can be completed at one time or in sections.
The route is educational, encourages people to exercise, provides mental well-being, and promotes creativity.
Multiple route choices.
With countless things to see and do, there's something for everyone! Visit the 21 CA Missions, walk through botanical gardens, ride a roller-coaster at Knott's Berry Farm, see where the Monarch Butterfly hibernates for the winter, eat fresh CA cuisine, dine in a multitude of ethnic restaurants, stay at historic hotels, and spend the night in an actual Mission.
Signage along the route keeps you informed of where you're headed. Our website provides up-to-date information on what to see, local restaurants, and where to spend the night. Future plans include digital experiences to keep you informed and entertained throughout the entire 800 mile long journey.
where to stay
As a Pómniv member, you'll get exclusive deals on hotels and be linked into home-stay partners like Servas. A bed and shower will be waiting for you at the end of each day.

Almost everyone has some sort of debt. Nobody can buy their house without a mortgage for instance, not many people can buy their car outright. Debt is something we all have and all live with day in day out. However in these financially trying times, it can be awfully depressing just thinking about all the bills you need to pay, not to mention the ever-mounting pile of money you owe the bank. And for some, they may think that the end is nowhere in sight. Thankfully, that isn't true at all. There are plenty of ways to manage your debt and even pay it all off eventually! It's just a matter of knowing how and a bit of discipline.
The first thing you need to do to manage your debt is to set a budget. Properly budgeting your money and keeping to its specific allotments will ensure that you don't spend money you can't spare and still get to pay those whom you owe. So, make your budget and stick to it!
The second thing you need to do is to work out your payment plan. Try to figure out how much you can pay off each month while still being able to buy your basic necessities. If it's the bank you owe, try to ask for lower interest rates. You should also practice setting aside a certain amount of money each month that will be used to pay off your debt.
Another way to help you manage your debt is to pay off the small debts first. It's easier to save up money to get rid of a small debt. In addition, ignoring a small debt over a big one that will take a long time to pay can cause your interest in the small debt to increase eventually. And you just might end up with more unmanageable debt that when you started out.
Cutting down on unnecessary spending is an excellent way to help you towards your goal of paying off all your debt. Make sure that you only spend what you need. Change your lifestyle. Instead of always eating out, try eating at home more. While that coffee from Starbucks is great, it's also expensive and unnecessary. To successfully clean out your debt, you'll need to take stock of what's important and what's not. And like what was mentioned before, stick to your budget!
Shopping with a list can also help you manage your debt. Shopping with a list in your hand will ensure that you only buy what you need and will stop you from doing some impulse purchases. It's also best to use a calculator whenever you shop to make sure that you don't go over the budget that you have allotted yourself. With this kind of structured shopping, you avoid overspending and you may even learn how to look for deals and discounts along the way.
Now, while all of these methods are great ways to help you get out of debt, you should never forget to reward yourself from time to time. Small rewards are a great way to keep yourself motivated towards sticking to your plan and reaching your goal.

New Delhi: Top Maoist ideologue Kobad Ghandy, accused of trying to set up a base for banned outfit CPI (Maoist) here, has been granted interim bail for three months by a Delhi court on health grounds.
The court said that 65-year-old Ghandy, who is in custody in this case since September 2009, was suffering from various ailments and his condition has "visibly deteriorated" during the period of trial.
"In these facts and circumstances, I admit accused Kobad Ghandy to interim bail for a period of three months on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs one lakh and two sureties of the like amount," Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Reetesh Singh said.
The court is currently recording prosecution evidence in the case in which Ghandy along with co-accused Rajender Kumar alias Arvind Joshi is facing trial.
Ghandy is facing trial for alleged offences punishable under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act(UAPA) and various provisions of the IPC. The court had framed charges against Rajender Kumar under several IPC sections.
During arguments on bail plea, Ghandy's counsel told the court that his client was suffering from multiple ailments for which he required constant medical treatment which was not properly provided in the jail.
The court had called for a report from the superintendent of Tihar jail regarding Ghandy's medical condition and after perusing it, the judge said, "it is apparent that Kobad Ghandy is suffering from a host of medical ailments".
"He (Ghandy) is aged about 65 years. His condition has visibly deteriorated during the period the trial of this case has progressed before this court," the court said.
Ghandy, an alumnus of the prestigious Doon School and St Xavier's College Mumbai, is facing prosecution in around 20 criminal and terror cases in different parts of the country.
According to the police, he was said to be part of the top leadership of erstwhile CPI-ML (People's War Group) since 1981. He allegedly continued as a Central Committee member in CPI (Maoist) after the merger with People's War Group and elected to the Maoist Politburo in 2007.

I'll start with one of the items I love, love, love...
These are lamp worked glass curved rectangles. They have holes on each side and are meant for bracelets. They would make pretty bracelets, but I plan to use them for pony tail holders. They are really pretty in
person and even have some gold sparkles. Now, to figure out how to attach them to the hair elastic...
I bought a few strands of stone beads, but nothing precious or very expensive. I'm happy with all of these, even though there are always some little surprises.
I love these carved jade rectangles. They have carving on both sides and remind me of an elastic bone bracelet that I used to wear to death in college. It had a very similar flower. The surprise on these babies is that they are not center drilled. They are top drilled across the long side. Not a big deal, but it does mean they won't be a tile style bracelet!
I was definitely in the mood for some bright jewel color stones, and even though they are rustic, I love all 3 of these strands. The top one is lapis lazuli diamond shape beads - and what is surprising is the deep blue color and the amount of gold flecks in them. They are probably dyed - but I still think I can make good use of them. I think they next two strands are reminiscent of ruby and sapphire or kyanite - but so much cheaper since they are dyed jade. I've already used some of the blue squares, and they are super.
I'm not sure why I had to have these moonstone diamonds except that the price was right and I love stones with chatoyance. Surprisingly, these stones have a good amount of flash and rustic appeal.
And here is my impulse buy - an assortment. I always have to buy at least one surprise - and this is it. This is a 5 strand assortment of fancy shaped dyed jade. Starting from the bottom, there are green cubes, melon drums, turquoise blue diamond cubes, berry hearts and small green barrels. The turquoise seem unlikely to ever get used by me - and the hearts seem like a stretch too, but you never know! The other 3 strands are definitely shapes and colors that will work for me and actually nice quality - straight drill, nice polish, nice color. I can't complain. So, that's my latest bunch of supplies that I don't really need!
This weekend, I'll be participating in the Pearls, Pearls, Pearls Blog Hop hosted by Shel of MiShel Designs. The reveal is on Sunday - and since I love pearls, I've made several pieces for the post. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

The Orpalata Review is pleased to announce that we have discovered a new mold remediation and cleaning company in Atlanta. The name of the company is Atlanta Mold and Cleaning, and it is located on Carter Road in Decatur.
The company is owned and operated by Mr. Parnell Hall, and it presently serves not just Atlanta, but also Alpharetta, Athens, Canton, Covington, Conyers, Cumming, Covington, Dawsonville, East Point, Douglasville, Marietta, Jonesboro, Sandy Springs, Roswell, and Winder.
Mr. Hall has been in the field of mold remediation and cleaning for many years now, and until recently was working for one of Atlanta's leading mold removal specialists.
The customers all took a very strong liking to Mr. Hall, coming to prefer him to his own boss, who was very well-known in the market. And it was that fact that encouraged Mr. Hall to start his own company.
Mold, of course, is a big problem in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, because Atlanta has a very humid climate, and mold will grow wherever there is moisture.
Although it is true that mold can cause a wide variety of health effects, it is also true that often mold doesn't cause any health effects at all.
It all depends on the person. If you are not sensitive to mold, you will not be bothered, no matter how much mold may be around you.
If, on the other hand, you are sensitive to mold, then you will be bothered. Your throat or eyes may be irritated, you may begin to experience nasal stuffiness, and you might even start to experience skin irritations.
If you are actually allergic to mold, your problems could be much more severe; they could be so severe, in fact, that in extreme cases mold can cause death.
So people with allergies to mold should stay away from any and all areas that are likely to have mold, such as wooded area, heaps of cut grass, compost piles, and also pipes and corners in their own homes where moisture has caused the growth of mold.
The good news is that with a competent professional such as Parnell Hall, all mold can be safely, and very economically removed. So we recommend that you call his company, Atlanta Mold and Cleaning. Their phone number is 770-824-9301.

My goodness thought I would never see the day but LE is feeling the emotion of shy!
We got his end of Year 7 report which is excellent but states that he lacks confidence talking in front of the other children and volunteering his ideas.
Of course we want to build his confidence up but part of me wants to celebrate as this is new for us. LE being more reserved and shy fantastic as he has up until the last year or so been completely oblivious to these feelings and that he is more thoughtful in his approaches is a huge milestone for us.
Isn't it strange that something that would be a great worry to some is actually a milestone to us.

Why do so many people love to run? For many, the answer is obvious, and comes in the form of "For my health," "To relieve stress," or "Because I like to." All are valid, of course, but in Japan, one tradition inspires another response.
Each year, thousands of runners sprint to the Nishinomiya shrine in Nishinomiya, Hyōgo, Japan, to be the first to reach the finish line. It is believed that the winner of this race will be bestowed with a full year's worth of good luck.
Who wouldn't want that?
Check out the clip above to see more scenes from the race, and to see how long this tradition has changed over the centuries.

He's more likely to tell you to get off your butt and go to the gym than prescribe you a pill.

But what about those that do not get well from a placebo??? Like lets say you have some naive parents with a very ill child and then decides to go for homeopathy instead when there are real treatments that actually works?? This actually happens in real life...
I dont understand why this is so hard for you believers to understand.
And why are you still acting like it is wrong to call it a placebo when all studies show that this is the case??
There is not even a single logical reason why it should work since there is no damn active ingredient in any of those homeopathy bottles. They all contain just water and nothing else.
So please explain how drinking pure water could even do anything more than a placebo does?

Last night we had a great meeting about some new developments at MBCC, adapting to our growth. We have been trying to figure out how to better centralize church information so we can REALLY begin to share leadership, encourage more involvement from people who are taking charge AND be able to keep up with such a rapidly and constantly changing community. This shift has to be made as we move from everything running through me, the pastor, to sharing the wider community connections. We have no administrator, so up until this point, as the main contact, I AM the church database system.
In English . . . We need to have an effective church database tool so Bruce doesn't have to be the holder of the info and gate keeper of connections. I can't tell you how many times people have had to eMail me to get someone's eMail. Yeah, THAT'S a good use of time 😉
And then along comes Toby and Stafftool, a newly launched online church database program. We will be one of the first churches to really put it to the test as a central component of our congregational life, so this is pretty exciting.
Did I mention that I was excited? Well I am. I can feel the information shackles slipping off. Shackles may be a little strong, but you get the idea. This has the potential to help unleash our community's potential for relationship building! It is REALLY user friendly, looks great and because we are an early adopter, we get to help shape and form it's real world application. Plus it addresses all the issues that we had been thinking about when we first started to try and create such a thing using Drupal.
- Security and Privacy;
- Multiple Administrative Levels
- Online Usability;
- Events and Calendars;
- Event integration into current websites;
- Tagging and Smart Groups;
- Family Relationships;
- Slick user interface;
- iPhone integration – not that I have one ;-(
- and much, much, much more . . .
I particularly like that fact that StaffTool is not trying to be another Social Network, nor is it meant to replace eMail. It is what it claims to be, a really effective online church database. Plus Toby is extremely responsive to our suggestions and comments and has some great ideas for future upgrades and features.
I believe that you can just go on over to http://stafftool.com to join, but if you would like an invitation, please let me know. I have absolutely no problem recommending Toby and Stafftool. To find out more and/or stay in the loop, you can watch a video HERE check out the Stafftool Blog and/or become a Facebook Fan.


text: ALTHOUGH the National Aeronautics and Space Administration may not have planned it that way, its manifest of nine space shuttle missions for 1992 reads like a salute to the Columbus 500th anniversary year.Not only does it have a strong international flavor, but it features the ascent of the first Italian Space Agency astronaut aboard Atlantis in July. Franco Malerba - who like the great 15th-century navigator was born in Genoa - will help test a novel Italian space satellite system. Astronauts from Canada and the European Space Agency will fly on several missions. And, in August, Japan's first professional astronaut - Mamoru Mohri - is to ride on board the new orbiter Endeavor, which is scheduled to debut in May as the replacement for the lost Challenger. This will be Japan's first major manned spaceflight mission. Its space agency is joining NASA in materials processing and life sciences experiments in the Spacelab that fits into the orbiter's cargo bay. As NASA's manifest now stands, the first 1992 flight of Spacelab should be on board Discovery in January. It is to carry out an international mission with 14 materials processing and 33 life sciences experiments planned by 200 scientists from 13 countries. A mission to study Earth's atmosphere from the orbiter Atlantis should follow in March. The new orbiter Endeavor's maiden flight is scheduled for May. It is an ambitious mission in which astronauts are to try to rescue an Intelsat communications satellite now stranded in a useless orbit. They hope to replace a failed booster rocket. Endeavor is more than just another orbiter. It carries modern electronics. It also has been designed for missions up to 28 days - three to four times the length of typical shuttle missions. In June, Columbia returns to service after extensive overhaul. It, too, now is equipped for longer stays in orbit, although not as long as those Endeavor can sustain. Columbia is to carry out another Spacelab materials and life sciences research mission. This is to last 13 days - the longest shuttle flight so far. Then, in July, Atlantis is to orbit Dr. Malerba and an all European payload. The Italian astronaut will help operate a Tethered Satellite System. The satellite, carrying scientific instruments, will be reeled out of the shuttle on a cable, moving up to 12 miles away. Atlantis also will deploy the European Space Agency (ESA) Eureca recoverable space carrier. This is designed to orbit on its own for about 10 months, carrying out materials and biological experiments under weightless conditions. Then a futur e shuttle mission is to bring it back to Earth. The remaining 1992 missions now planned include: * Endeavor's Japanese Spacelab flight in August. * A mission by Columbia in September to launch a geodetic satellite and conduct Canadian scientific experiments. * An October Department of Defense mission for Discovery. * Endeavor's third mission, in December, to deploy a tracking and data relay satellite. This is a very ambitious flight schedule, given NASA's strained shuttle resources. Technicians have identified several thousand defects that need correcting. These have already caused the orbiter's debut to slip from April into May. Shuttle program managers now have tight limits on funds and personnel. They have to try to cut spending by 3 percent a year for the next five years. Forrest McCartney, retiring director of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, has said he thinks NASA will be hard pressed to maintain a launch program of eight to 10 missions a year as it now hopes to do.

Iceland is keen to make a profit out of its abundant, renewable energy sources but critics are asking if it is worth the loss of so much pristine wilderness.
Even in the bitter wind and driving snow, the view is like nothing else on Earth.
No trees, no grass, no colour.
It's small wonder astronauts came here to train for their missions to the Moon.
Beneath a leaden grey sky and the slopes of jagged, black mountains, there is a deep fissure in the ground where a steep-sided gorge winds away towards the horizon.
Until recently this was one of the most isolated parts of an isolated country, Europe's largest wilderness. It was so rarely visited that some places did not even have names.
Now it is the site of the massive new Karahnjukar dam, holding back the waters of a 57 square km reservoir.
Iceland's national power company, Landsvirkjun, is building the dam to provide power for an aluminium smelter operated by American multinational Alcoa.
"The hydroelectric resources of Iceland are stranded here in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean," explained engineer Sigurdur Arnalds.
"The sole purpose of all of this is to sell electrical power to foreign industries. If you look at it globally, this is clean energy."
It is estimated that by using this "clean" energy, carbon emissions from aluminium production are reduced by some 90%.
Abundant resources
There is more green energy available than the 300,000 people living here could possibly need - from glacial rivers to the underground reservoirs of hot water which can be tapped for geothermal power.
But not everyone is convinced that utilising all this renewable energy is worth the cost.
"This is the greatest irreversible environmental impact possible in Iceland," said Omar Ragnarsson, one of the country's most respected journalists.
After covering the story for the country's national broadcaster, he has ditched his career to campaign against the three new smelter projects that are now being proposed.
"The effects go all the way down to the shore and the shore will go inward. All this area will be hit with such destruction that Iceland will be shy of showing it to the world," he said.
He is not alone in his concerns.
Environmental campaigners are coming here from across the world, and Icelandic singer Bjork has written songs about Karahnjukar.
Like most people who oppose the dam, Omar is less concerned about pollution from the factories themselves than the environmental consequences of exploiting clean energy to power them.
Local excitement
However, travel down the valley to the pretty village of Reydarfjordur, the site of the Alcoa smelter, and there is tangible evidence that it is bringing a new lease of life to the area.
You will struggle to find anyone who has a bad word for Alcoa.
I visited the home of Gunnar and Lulu, who have returned to Iceland from Denmark.
"A few years ago the future here was not very bright with people moving away. Now though there're 50 new houses every year," Lulu said.
"When you look at the faces of the people who work with me and see the excitement about this huge change in this society, you can't do anything but be pleased."
As for Gunnar, he sums the new optimism up in one phrase: "Jobs create jobs."
Political issue
Although it is too late to stop the Karahnjukar dam, the political opposition is confident that people will vote against any party that proposes more dams or smelters.
And even the government seems to be rethinking its policy of attracting heavy industry.
"There's no need to attract more and more to Iceland," said Iceland's newly appointed Minister of Industry and Commerce, Jon Sigurdsson.
"Aluminium is a good addition to our economy, an important part of our development, but only a part."
So which is worth more - green energy or unproductive wilderness?
With three new projects in the pipeline, Icelandic voters will need to decide whether embracing heavy industry is worth the sacrifice.

The Underground Gourmet might have worn glasses since the third grade, but is not so blind as to blithely mistake a Nolita garage for Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. That, however, is the sleight of hand the owners of Fonda Nolita are attempting to perpetrate at their new taquería, a Stateside facsimile of a beachside operation that launched five years ago in Playa del Carmen. The Manhattan branch is artfully and somewhat theatrically housed inside a lofty, concrete-floored space outfitted with tropical plants, a flat-screen looping an endless surf video, and dozens of folding tin-top backgammon tables. An open kitchen is camouflaged as a surf shack in the back, and front and center a retrofitted VW bus functions as a taco stand. Dario Wolos, who jettisoned a career in finance for the taco-bus lifestyle, has christened the vehicleone of a fleet of threea Tacombi (Taco plus Combi, the VW model), and he himself has gained some social-media notoriety as Señor Tacombi. (In New York, he's partnered with chef and Food Network personality Aarón Sánchez, who devised the menu.) While the accumulated effect doesn't quite conjure the sound of the surf or the scent of sea air, it does make for a somewhat transporting change of pace on the downtown dining circuit, not to mention a nifty destination for a laid-back taco binge. The unconventional venue baffles at first. An unsuspecting passerby might wonder whether he's stumbled into a private social club, or inadvertently crashed some sort of backgammon convention. The carnival-style ordering procedure does nothing to dispel the feeling. Corn-tortilla tacos are sold at one station, flour-tortilla ones at another, drinks somewhere else. American dollars must be exchanged for the local currency (blue poker chips worth $4 each, the price of a taco), but you do this at a station that also sells tall glasses of aguas frescas, like sweet horchata and tangy Jamaica, for cash, though, not chips. (When the beer license arrives, taps will dispense Mexican-style beer from a local brewer.) Once you've secured your poker chips, step right up to place your order at the Tacombi, which will likely be swaying with the balletic exertions of the taco cook. Before assembling your taco, he'll blanket the griddle with tender, flavorful corn tortillas from the estimable Tortilleria Nixtamal (the Corona microfactory that grinds corn for its own masa), then fill them with each taco's specific combination of slow-cooked meat, deftly seasoned sauces, and crunchy, fragrant toppings. They're served on small tin plates, each double-tortilla'd taco sporting enough filling to subdivide into two. You'll want at least one cochinita pibil, the achiote-marinated pork shoulder swaddled in banana leaves, cooked until tender, and garnished with house-pickled jícama and chayote. Also compulsory are the rich and juicy barbacoa tacos, made from wine-and-ancho-chile-marinated brisket, in the style of Jalisco, the Mexican home state of Tacombi manager Oscar Hernandez, the guy who keeps the Tacombi running and sauces simmering while Sánchez is off on official Food Network business. Of the remaining lineup, the mole poblano chicken taco is distinguished not only by its remarkably moist thigh meat but by the novel inclusion of mashed sweet potatoes, and both vegetarian varieties (corn and poblano with tomatillo salsa, and black bean and nopales) outshine the lackluster griddled haddock, which perhaps shouldn't be penalized for the U.G.'s unequivocal preference for the crunchy fried variety. If it's crunch you want, though, we recommend the tostada, topped simply with avocado and a vibrant tomatillo-avocado salsa. The bus also vends a trio of plump tamales (pork, chicken, or huitlacoche and corn). But you'll want to save some chips for a trip to the makeshift kitchen in back, which serves northern-style breakfast tacos made with a larger flour tortilla crisped up nicely on the griddle. The meat version features a good housemade chorizo with potatoes and chile de árbol salsa, and the vegetarian combines egg with poblano pepper and nopales. Both are hot, satisfying, and served all daya breakfast requisite in Mexican beach towns and converted Nolita garages alike.Ideal Meal
Chorizo breakfast taco for breakfast; cochinita pibil and barbacoa tacos for dinner; horchata for dessert.
