Federal SS-595 245/45R18 96W BSW Tires
The Federal SS-595 tire is a great performance tire for your daily driver, but is also the tire of choice for drift racing thanks to its extreme wear resistance and durability. These tires will give you the performance you desire and the look and feel of the tire will keep you on the road through anything you throw at it. On the drift track or on the highway this tire gives you the maximum levels of adhesion, acceleration, cornering and braking. If you are looking for a tire to use for performance or just for daily driving, the Federal SS-595 tire is an excellent and affordable option.
very quality--use them for road racing
Great tires, good service, and good price!!
Peter Glawe
Used for Racing!
This is a great wet race tire that we believe is soft and forgiving in the wet. It wears in the dry due to the sticky nature, but the tread pattern and the feel is perfect for basic mid horsepower racing in wet conditions.
Radmann Racing
Great tires!
These hold the road and are very stable, much better than my last set. I feel confident slinging around curves and such in the Miata and can drive more aggressively without worry. And they were a pretty good price too!
Jeff Lucovsky
Would recommend
Tires arrived quickly, very easy to mount and balance. Noticeably Improved the grip, handling and ride quality of my 76 MG midget
I think these are great for the $
I picked up a set of these after watching a bunch of youtube videos; they are really grippy and have them on my 1989 Jetta coupe track day car. I will look at these again.
John Anderson
Affordable performance
Good tires with exceptional performance. The tread design does an OK job in the rain too. Lasts about 22-25k miles, but at this price point, I recommend them to all on a budget.
Perfect fit
Fit great. Project car so don't know how they ride yet.
Martin E.
These tires are GREAT
Affordable performance tire. Replaced all-weather tires on my Miata with these and they revived the spirited handling of car.
Great for the price
These tires are great for the price,the wet traction is awesome with that said they are significantly noisy during highway driving but that seems to be the only draw back.
Grippy tires that are great for summer.
These tires have amazing traction and grip. They are definitely more for summer, but I have used them in the snow once successfully. I have a set on my STI and my 280Z. Both sets handle and feel great with little road noise.
Jon Case
I love these tires!!
I love these tire! They look great and hug the road nice. I'm waiting for snow to see how they preform. So far these tires are my new go to for my 2015 Fiat pop.
These tires are great
I bought 2 tires and. They arrived right on time. Great business
Great all weather tire
Great wet and dry traction. Put tires to the test on a local circle track and they did very well.
These tires are great
Great summer tires
Excellent tires for the price
I've had a set on my Miata for about 4 months now and they are awesome. The looks alone are great but, they stick to the road great as well. I would absolutely buy again.
Glad we did business
Tires performing well. Great value!!
John Girardi
Not the best tires in the world but love them
For the price you can't beat their performance. So far I don't see any wear or hear any noise. They work just as they should
Fantastic tires for the price
I am a very enthusiastic driver and these tires grip way better than expected
Dillon Kropf
Very Happy so far
Great tires, handling on wet pavement is much better than Continental tires. Very pleased
Pretty good
Seem to be holding up well, traction is pretty good. Price was great! I would buy them again
Awesome, Inexpensive Performance Tire
Bought these when replacing the Kumho Ecstas that I had on my car, mounted on Konig Rewinds. These are fantastic tires. The Ecstas were great, but also considerably more expensive. Dry performance- the grip these tires generate is quite phenomenal for the price. Wheelspin through first gear is much more manageable, and cornering limits are much higher than the Ecstas. Braking is improved as well due to the superior grip. And the amount of tread on the tire surprised me. Wet performance- hydroplaning is almost nonexistent. Through really deep puddles at 70mph they may hydroplane a little bit but I have never owned a tire that doesn't, and the tread pattern makes it easy to manage. They still grip way better than the Ecstas in every area in the wet. Snowy conditions- I wouldn't know because I haven't driven in the snow but having a tread pattern similar to the old hakapaleta's(minus the grooves) makes me believe they could get you by in a pinch. I still recommend actual snow tires. Noise- these aren't the quietest tires, but the noise isn't horrendous. Wear- only 1k miles in and no noticeable wear. Overall- hard to beat these. I have owned Firestone Firehawks and Kumho Ecstas, and honestly these outperform both, they offer better steering feel and more communication from the road. I highly recommend and would buy again.
they are just what the ol A6 needed#
Great performance from these sexy tires!!
Jon Smith
Nice tires
No tengo ninguna queja. Aparte que con ese diceño, lucen muy bien en mi carro
Great Tire
Very good price and these tires fit me 94 Pontiac Formula Firebird great. No weight needed to be added.
K Moyer
These tires are awesome
Great tires for the price they are. Awesome traction dry or wet pavement. They ride smooth on our MINI Copper S with very little sound as time goes by. After months of driving putting at least 500 to 600 miles a week on them there is still no signs of wear. Everybody that see's them ask where we got them and I tell them Tires Easy . com... When these do wear out I will purchase these again and hope they are the same price.
Great tires at a great price.
Love these tires. They provide excellent grip and handling through corners. No road noise. Not to mention that they looked aggressive as well. Cannot complain at all.
The Tire Fit On My Car , Holds Air , And Rolls . I Am Happy With It !
Great tires for the price
Daily drive these on my 1993 240sx, very little road noise, sticky enough for spirited driving, cheap enough to not feel bad about doing burnouts!
Scuba Steve
Quiet tires
I am a huge fan of Federal tires. The SS-595 tires are so quiet and grip the road beautiful. I have a heavy foot on twisty windy roads and these tires keep me in my lane. I tested them on county roads and in the rain, could not be happier!
The tires are great
Jeremy Smith
Great inexpensive tire with great tread wear.
Great tires and good long wear. They seem to lose air once in awhile but think it's temperture related. After many miles with lots of tread they seem to blow out. I have know idea why!
Great tires
Great tires
Angel cotto
Value for the dollar
For the abuse I put them thru (14.5hrs of track time) they held up well would recommend for your lemons car

Mark asbury
Very good tires for the cost
Good in rain dry and cold conditions
Great tires
I'm like how well these tires grip the road. Also I've fell a huge improvement on the ride quality.
Hector R.
Just what I needed!
I originally wanted some really grippy tires, but considering I only have 280hp and like to drift I didn't want TOO much. These tires here are perfect for daily driving, even in the rain, and also have sufficient grip for track/drift events as well. All in all, a very good moderate choice. I'm happy with this purchase. So much so, that I'm filling out this review haha.
Alex Bermudez
Tires are great
Tires are great and tread water good also and will do business again.

Ernesto V
Quick, Easy , No Hassle and priced just Right!
These are a great fit for my 96 Mustang GT.
The SS-595 is amazing
The wide SS-595 is amazing on my 2 cars, Stealth AWD twin turbo, and '04 STI modified. I drive insane speeds on hairpin curved, switchback steep mountain roads. These tires hang like the cars are on rails. Real good, hot or cold, dry or rain. Occasional light snow, if I get caught out in the winter. I won't run them in bad snow.
love the tires
I put these tires on my 1989 Ford Mustang GT. They hug the road very well and I've driven them in the rain and I've had no problems.
These tires completes my mustang gt convertable awesome tires
Verry satisfied with looks handling traction and great price 5 stars all way arround
Marvin helton

Brandon Andrews
Impala ss tires
Great tires for the price
Cory t
Could not be happier with the performance and looks of these tires
Price was great as well as ride ability.
Pleasantly surprised
I though these tires were going to be a joke. After i inspected them and compared to a leading brand I had them installed and so far so good. Minimal hydroplaning ( purposely tested) and pretty good traction in the snow. Also, the price was right.
Ed SS
Awesome Tires
Have these Federal tires on my 1994 Mustang GT. Great tires , ride perfect, and best of all excellent price. Thanks Tire-Easy
Jason Holmes
So far these tires are just fine .
It's been only a few months of ownership of these tires but I'm completely sastified , no issues , no complaints . They look great , give a very good ride and compared to anything else out there they are relatively innoexpensive ........ask me again next year with 20,000 / 30,000 miles on them . Can't rate the tires 5 stars .......it's too soon to know .
Raymond Viale
These tires are amazing!
Truly awesome tires for the price you pay. I bought them for my Crown Victoria and they ride way better than my previous tires. Better traction too! They seem to be more durable as well. Would recommend these to anybody that wants a cheap, sporty, and good quality tire.
Gabriel Vic
Great tires

Very good tires

Well.. i bought them 5 months ago.. they look great on my wheels... now the car is on jack stands and has been for 4 years... the wheels and tires are mounted and on my tire rack.. they look great. would tell anyone to buy them 10/10 lol p.s: no plans to finish car anytime soon but it is the year of the flex.
Great for the price
A bit noisy on the highway but the amount of grip in the dry and the wet for the cost they are pretty damn good. Have had them for 3-4000 miles and they show no signs of any significant wear despite 5 degrees of camber and a few burnouts.
Great Tires
I love these tires. My Veloster Turbo would slide everywhere when it rained. Never had any problems and will be buying these tires again!!!
Great Tires! No problems
Great tires! I'm glad I purchased them. Good price as well.
Lady C
Amazing tires for the price point.
These ss595s are super sticky in the dry, not bad in the wet considering they are summer tires and have moderate road noise, as far as tire life goes i got about a year out of them with 3-4 degrees of camber and a "few" burnouts.
Perfect tires
Tires are perfect
Great traction, even on the wet. Have had no issues whatsoever
Pricing was awesome for the set. Function amazing. Couldn't ask for better tires
Mike santoro
Great tires
Love them!
Mario alvarado
Great Tires
Excellent tires. grip well and have little road noise. Obviously, in a sports tire...DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN FAST IS A NO-GO!!!
These tires are great!
Great tires for the price especially in drifting! I can go through an entire event with the same set of tires.
Hawaiian Drifta
Love these for the price
I've never been a big tire snob, usually the cheapest is the best for me. However, I have always hated driving my 350Z in the rain and with these on it I can easily due highway speeds in the pouring rain. The tread wicks the water from the center of the tire to provide maximum contact. They have a surprising ammount of grip. Tried to dump the clutch one day and actually just took off. Totally recommend for any car fast or slow.
Mark Fenton
Best tires I have had yet!
Theses tires grip great in the rain and the dry and handle amazing and they last! I got them shipped to me fast and easy and will definitely buy again
Thomas kerner
Tire price is good
Tires hold well. Only have driven about 300 miles and so far tread is good and responds well in wet weather.
Great tires for the price
I put these tires on my 98 bmw 328i and they have a lot of grip in the dry and have decent grip in the wet as well. I'm going to buy another set soon
Tyler d
These tires are great
Great tires !!!! I will buy again
Good tires
Good price
Nice tires
The transaction for these tires were quick and efficient without complications. These tires handle well in dry and wet weather. They hold up well in aggressive maneuverings. I get many compliments from passing motorist and friends on the tires aggressive thread patterns. Will buy again.
These are great! Absolutely the best tires I've bought. No hydroplaning whatsoever! Fast delivery! Will definitely buy again next time.
I am so happy with my all 4 Federal tires worth it!
The 4 tires that I bought ( 2 front 235/40R18 and two rear 265/35R18) was one of my best investments in my car, besides they have a pretty nice profile, good traction on the wet roads, they are quiet and I am very amazed of this excellent quality, 5 stars for you Federal good job.
My experience with these so far is exceptional!
I have to say that more than anything I love the way these tires look!!! That being said, I hope they hold up in the nastier weather (just cruising of course). Dry weather tho, they are more than satisfying especially considering the cost. If your simply on a budget I don't think these tires will disappoint you.
Use these for drifting. They don't shred apart like some other cheaper ones I've used. Great tires. Look pretty good too
Great tires
Very grippy and great in the rain. Great tires for the price
Will be ordering again
Great tires for the price. Haven't had an issue with them at all! I need to order a couple more!
Excellent tire
I would recommend these tires to anyone.
Would definitely buy another set Great tire
Would highly recommend
Good tires for the price
I bought these tires for street/drifting and they are great ! Handle very well and so far after 5k miles, not much tread has been used.
Great performance tire
They give you excellent handling and not so sticky that you can't drift the car. They seem to hold when you want and let loose when you intend for them to do so. They are also predictable and handle well when drifting. I have them on an Evo X.
Rick Ross
Awesome tire for the money
Tire fit nice look good and handle well seem too be wearing evenly and slowly will be buying more shipped fast made it two days early
Great tires
Good for a smooth ride and fun when u want to
Chris bell
Great budget performance tire!
I put a pair of 245/45-18 tires on the front of my Pontiac G8 GT along with some 275/40-18 on the back and the tires are great. They were very reasonably priced. They look good, handle well, and have really good traction. All around great tire, I will be getting more.
So far, so good. 225/45R18's that have been on the front wheels about 4 years are also ok.
Jim Bob
Great tires!!
I was skeptical at first only because I've never had these brand of tires for my wife's car. I figured I'd give them a try since they were such a low price. And wow they are amazing. They are for my wife's 335I xdrive so I needed a good tire that grips good and won't have s lot of road noise. They are amazing on all counts!!
These are very very good tires for the money
Had the tires for 2 or 3 months very good wear and excellent in the rain and handle extremely well
These tires are GREAT! I have pushed them hard in rain and on dry pavement and had zero issues! Plus the aggressive tread looks soooo cooool!!!
M. Lovell
These tire are great

Angel M

I'm extremely satisfied with these tires and a great low cost tire!
Carlos c
These tires did great.
I put a new set of these on my Mazda RX8 and went to one of the most challenging roads in the country Highway 129 the Tail of the Dragon. I drove from Tallahassee Fl to Robinsville NC and spent a week of hard agressive driving on the mountain roads in the Smoky Mountains and they perfomed flawlessly in both wet and dry conditions. I am extremely pleased they look good and ride great. .ot sure how many miles I will get out of them but doing stop and go city driving or 100 MPH the interstate I have confidence that they are GOOD tires.
Quality for cheap
Awesome tires for the price and good quality....been running them for 3 months and still look brand new
Great product
Michael Criswell
These tires are great for the money.
I would buy these tires again and again!
Darnell Byrd
These tires are badass!
Really liked how the look and perform, I put them on my 2013 mustang with a set of RTR gun metal gray rims and they look badass! I always get good compliments. Will definitely buy a set for my C10 truck.
Hector Gutierrez
Great reasonable tires!
These tires are awesome! They are sold at a very reasonable price, they are quiet on the road, fast or slow driving and most of all they look outstanding on my car. The tread is aggressive looking and handles the rain with no problem. It hits on all areas, price, look, traction and sound.
Been Buying These Tire's For Years
This is the Best Place To Purchase Tire's In The World.... ( To me Anyway)
Emiel Cottonham
These tires are great fits perfectly
Bought these for my wife's birthday with her rims and they look flawless.

Ruben aceves
Performance 13's at a competative price
Purchased for my '74 Jensen-Healey. I had been frustrated by the quality of 13" tires currently available. These have the aggressive tread and performance I was looking for. Plus they look great on the car.
Great Tires
Good price and fast shipment
Good balance of grip and low price.
Perfect on my Miata in 205/40/16. Best bang for the buck.
These tires are great
595 are great they can be stretched on pretty well on a 9.5 and hold air and not to bad in snow
Exactly what I needed
These tires look great (sporty) for half the price. Excellent wet traction and as far as I'm concerned they're not to noisy. Definitely will be buying another set when needed.
Very Satisfied Customer
Ordering these tires was one of the best automotive purchases I've made in as long as I can remember. They handle excellent on both wet and dry surfaces. I can feel the difference in the way they hug the road compared to the tires that came with my car. Also, the tread design is slick and everyone who notices mentions it to me.
Curt W
Great price
These tires haven't disappointed. They handle great in the snow. I would definitely purchase from here again.
Jhet Gonzalez
These tires ate great
Great tire for the price. 85 corvette daily driver no reason for expensive tires
Great budget tire.
Great dry traction, wet traction is decent for the type of tire this is and very minimal road noise. I only have about 500 miles on them so I can't comment on tread wear.
Smooth ride
Corner and wears great thanks

Washington Office Update
Washington Office Update Session
Senior FBI official, whistleblower to address ALA Meeting
The Chief of the FBI unit responsible for administering both the FBI's National Security Letter program for warrantless searches of telephone records and the top secret "special program" will speak at librarians' conference.
WASHINGTON —The Chief of the FBI unit responsible for administering two highly controversial FBI warrantless search programs, will speak at the American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting on Jan. 12 in Philadelphia. The session - "Inside the FBI: A Whistleblower Speaks Out" - will take place at 8 a.m. at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Room 108-A.
FBI Supervisory Special Agent Bassem Youssef is the Chief of the FBI Counterterrorism Division's Communications Analysis Unit. That unit has responsibility for administering two programs authorized under the USA PATRIOT Act. The first is a still-top secret warrantless search operation known as the "special program." Additionally, Mr. Youssef's unit administers the National Security Letters (NSLs) search program related to the telephone records of American citizens and non-citizens within the United States. Both programs are highly controversial.
Mr. Youssef is expected to discuss a number of critical failures within the FBI's counterterrorism program, which undermine basic Constitutional rights of American citizens and threaten the effectiveness of America's counterterrorism efforts
Mr. Youssef is the highest ranking Arab-American agent and fluent Arabic speaking agent employed by the FBI. Prior to being appointed to the Unit Chief position, Mr. Youssef served as FBI's first Legal Attaché in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, responsible for coordinating the FBI's programs in the Gulf region. He is the recipient of the prestigious Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) award for his work on the first World Trade Center bombing case.
In 2002, Mr. Youssef "blew the whistle" to the Director of the FBI and Congress that discriminatory practices within the Bureau were undermining the ability of the FBI to legally and effectively combat Middle Eastern terrorism. His case resulted in widespread media attention to the fact that top FBI counterterrorism lacked subject matter expertise in terrorism related matters. For example, the top FBI manager responsible for Middle Eastern terrorism on September 11, 2001, did not know the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni Muslim.
Mr. Youssef will be speaking on his own behalf, and not as a representative of the FBI. He will be accompanied by his attorney, Stephen M. Kohn, the President of the National Whistleblower Center. Mr. Kohn, the author of Concepts and Procedures in Whistleblower Law, has represented numerous FBI agents, including Dr. Frederic Whitehurst (crime lab) and Sibel Edmonds (translator).
For additional information on Mr. Youssef, please visit http://www.whistleblowers.org/html/inside_the_fbi.html, or http://www.whistleblowersblog.org.
Breakout Sessions
The Washington Office will host three breakout sessions following the main update session:
1. ALA OITP Director Alan Inouye will lead a discussion on "All (Telecom) Politics is Local: What the FCC is up to and what it has to do with your library," including discussion of the February 17, 2009, Digital Television Transition, in which libraries are set to play a big role. Location: PCC 108A.
2. The ALA Government Documents Round Table will features representatives of the Library of Congress, the Federal Depository Library Program, and Indiana University, who will discuss a wide range of topics from digitization to an intergovernmental search engine. Location: PCC 107B.
3. The third breakout discussion will be an exploration of how crucial libraries are to E-government. Location: PCC 105B.
Hot Topics
Friday, December 21st, 2007
WASHINGTON — This week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was ordered by Congress to re-open many of its libraries that had been closed over the course of the past year, as written into the fiscal year 2008 omnibus appropriations bill signed by President Bush.
EPA must "restore the network of EPA libraries recently closed or consolidated by the Administration…" and report on its plans to "restore publicly available libraries to provide environmental information and data to each EPA region…"
EPA administrators have repeatedly alleged that these closings do not affect access to the important environmental and scientific collections and data sets since online functions meet the needs of the EPA staff, researchers, and the public. However, many scientists, EPA staff and librarians continue to dispute this contention.
"The EPA libraries are a vital resource for the health of our country," said Emily Sheketoff, Executive Director of the ALA Washington Office, "and we appreciate the work of Congress, and in particular the Senate, to correct this massive failure on the part of the Executive Branch."
"ALA thanks the thousands of librarians and scientists all over who worked so hard to make sure their voices were heard in Congress."
Thursday, December 20th, 2007
After months of negotiations, the OPEN Government Act of 2007 (S. 2488) was signed by the President after passing both chambers. S. 2488 is a revision of the original bill, S.849, introduced by Sen. Leahy (D-VT) and Sen. Cornyn (R-TX). The House companion bill, H.R. 1309, introduced by Rep. Clay (D-MO), passed in March by a margin of 308-117.
This bill includes reforms to reduce backlogs and delays in responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, provides incentives for agency compliance, and, in general, strengthens FOIA.
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007
WASHINGTON — The American Library Association's (ALA's) Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) is launching a major project to increase the benefit that the nation's public libraries obtain from the federal E-rate program. This effort will include data collection and developing and implementing strategies to make it easier for libraries to participate in the program.
The E-rate is the biggest single source of funding for libraries' telecommunications and information services. And while many libraries rely on E-rate to make connectivity affordable, many others have difficulty taking full advantage of this essential program.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grant will support ALA's work to develop and provide training and consulting services for libraries so that more libraries can successfully navigate the cumbersome E-rate application process. ALA will also work to improve the E-rate program in the long-term, for example, by advocating for simplification of E-rate's application and disbursement processes.
According to the recent findings of ALA's Libraries Connect Communities report (2006-2007), virtually all of America's public libraries now offer public access to the Internet. However, many of those libraries have difficulty funding the ongoing connectivity costs needed to sustain broadband connections to the Internet that are robust enough to support library users' access to key online services like education, E-Government services, small business support, and more.
Dr. Alan Inouye, Director of OITP, says this project is a big step toward helping libraries meet their connectivity needs.
"The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has a strong history of funding free, public computer and Internet access in public libraries," Inouye said. "Their generous support of this project will help to increase the ability of public libraries across the country - especially those with severely constrained budgets - to benefit from the E-rate program and therefore provide their communities with access to essential online services and information such as career development programs, E-government resources, distance learning, and much more."
"Because of the complexity of the E-rate program, many individual libraries don't even apply for funding or are denied funding for simple errors," said Linda Lord, Deputy State Librarian of Maine and Chair of ALA's E-rate Task Force. "This project by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and ALA will be tremendously helpful to public libraries in obtaining the funding that they desperately need for telecommunications services."
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, it focuses on improving people's health and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty. In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people — especially those with the fewest resources — have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life. Based in Seattle, the foundation is led by CEO Patty Stonesifer and co-chair William H. Gates Sr., under the direction of Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett. More information is available at www.gatesfoundation.org.

As a manager you may already know that employee attendance issues can be one long lingering headache that seems to never end. You do what you can with threats and incentives but in the end it is just something that you are going to have to end up managing as best that you can.
Consistently Bleeding Money
What employees don't know is that spotty attendance issues do cost a business money. Aside from the scheduling problems that it creates there is also the issue of having other workers putting in overtime hours doing things that should have been done on regular time if every employee had worked his or her full forty hours in a week.
What Can You Do?
Of course it goes much further and deeper than that but those are some of the basic surface issues that employee attendance problems can bring to bear. So what can you do to get a better grip on employee attendance issues in your business?
Automatic Tracking
Your best place to start would be with employee attendance software that completely eliminates any guesswork or accounting time that you are currently spending to track and manage it. With employee attendance software all the data that you need will instantly be gathered as they clock in and out and automatically processed through the software.
One More Tool In Your Management Tool Kit
Everything that you need to analyze employee attendance records, either on a group or individual basis, in real time or on an extended time frame is instantly available to you in a simple visual format in the form of graphs and charts. In fact, it has already being demonstrated in businesses that are using it that just the fact that they have implemented this new tracking software was enough to inspire employees to be more diligent regarding their attendance.

The good thing about hockey arenas, as opposed to baseball or football stadiums, is that there really are no nosebleed seats. Three Red Wings fans challenged that notion by climbing onto the catwalks during last night's game.
Details are scarce, but we know three people found their way into a restricted area of the fifth floor of Joe Louis Arena. At that point, the section directly below them was evacuated, security perhaps anticipating the return of the Blue Blazer.
Two of them were arrested on the catwalk. One climbed even higher, onto a conduit, before freezing like a cat in a tree. He was eventually coaxed down, and fans returned to section 124, just in time to watch the Wings blow a lead.
The line of the night goes to the Kings announcer who said,
If he falls, that's too many men on the ice for Detroit."

Great American Art Works' has discovered new materials, techniques, and equipment they use to create uniquely excellent pastels. These handmade soft pastels are richly pigmented, and have superb brilliance of tone.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
iron oxides
Burnt Sienna is a warm, mid-brown color formed by burning the yellow-brown limonite clay called Raw Sienna. It ranges from semi-opaque to semi-transparent due to the combination of its opaque, red-brown mass tone and its transparent, orangey undertone. It is an excellent mixing complement for blues and greens and creates salmon or peach colored tints when mixed with white. It can be useful for subduing bright colors and does not get chalky in dark mixtures.
Burnt Sienna has good permanence and is considered one of the most versatile of the permanent pigments.
Burnt Sienna has no significant hazards.
Burnt Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, but its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.
Caput Mortuum, Italian Earth, Natural Brown Iron Oxide, Sienna, Spanish Red, Vandyke Brown.
iron oxides with manganese silicates or dioxide
Fe2O3,MnO2 or Fe2O3 + MnO2 + nH2O + Si + Al2O3
Burnt Umber is a more intense reddish brown pigment that results from heating the clay pigment Raw Umber. It has medium to excellent tinting strength and high opacity, and it is quick drying in oil form. Burnt Umber is somewhat more transparent than Raw Umber. It has excellent color properties and can create a variety of subtle, clear tints when mixed with white. It can tend towards chalkiness in dark mixes in oil form, but overall it mixes well with other colors. To create a black color in oil form, mix Burnt Umber with Phthalo Blue or Ultramarine. To achieve a similar color in watercolor form, mix it with Ultramarine or Payne's Gray.
Burnt Umber has good permanence.
Burnt Umber itself is considered non-toxic. If contaminated by manganese compounds, it may be highly toxic if inhaled and moderately toxic if ingested.
This pigment gets its name from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow or shade. Its full name is listed as terra di ombra, meaning earth of shadow/shade, due to its original extraction from the area of Umbria, Italy. It has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. Currently, the finest umber comes from Cyprus.
Chestnut Brown, Euchrome, Jacaranda Brown, Mars Brown, Mineral Brown, Raw Brown, Spanish Brown, Van Dyke Umber. Cyprus Umber, Turkey Brown, and Turkey Umber are the best quality umbers.
calcium carbonate
Calcium carbonate, the mineral constituent of chalk, is a low tinting strength, inexpensive white pigment that is often used is a buffer and filler. Because of its low tinting strength, it is overwhelmed by other colors. It is used in gesso and other coatings to give the surface more tooth, a desirable characteristic for some painting techniques.
Calcium carbonate is lightfast. Like all carbonates, it reacts with strong acids
Calcium carbonate is completely non-toxic, and is used in many food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. However, excessive consumption is not recommended.
Naturally occuring chalk deposits have been mined since prehistoric times. Rocks and minerals that contain calcium carbonate include aragonite, calcite, vaterite, chalk, limestone. marble, and travertine. Calcium carbonate is the principle component of lime, used in many agricultural and industrial applications.

Sonu: I thought about it for a long time, and then at church the pastor was asking is there anything that God has been telling you to do that you have been ignoring?? I knew he was talking right to me!
Indie:5!! You go girl!! And I am sure your organs will be worthy of such praise (Our Father made them specially for you )
Hope:Where are you at in your cycle? I need to keep a journal to keep track of everyone!
I start Gonal-F tonight! Very excited to start stimming. I had a job interview and it went well. It will be hectic if I get the job, but will help to save up money before my bfp .
Hope all you ladies are having a great day (I know Princess is!!). Where ever our roads lead us I pray they lead us closer to God, with or without a child!
Beth Moore talks about Peace in her study Living Free:
"If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea." Isa. 48:18
Moore writes:
The obstacles of life cannot stand against the power of God's river of peace.
1. A river is a moving stream of water: God's word does not say pond! When was the last time you saw white-water rapids? We can have active exciting lives without suffering through a life of turmoil. To have peace like a river is to have security and tranquility while meeting the many bumps along the way. Peace is submission to a trustworthy Authority, not resignation from activity.
2. A river is a body of fresh water fed by prings and tributary streams. I've found that I can't retain peace in the present by relying on a relationship from the past. Peace comes from an active, ongoing, and obedient relationship with the Price of Peace.
3. A river begins and ends with a body of water. EVery river has an upland source and an ultimate outlet or mouth. Rivers are fully dependent because they are always connected to other bodies of water. Likewise, peace like a river flows from a continuous connection with upland source Jesus Christ, and is a timely reminder that this life is not our destination, hallelujah!
Hope this encourages you today as it does me!!

Extracts From The Journal of the Rev. Francis Asbury, Bishop of The Methodist Episcopal Church, From August 7, 1771, to December 7, 1815 (New York: N. Bangs and T. Mason, For The Methodist Episcopal Church, 1821)
June 2
Preached at Martinsburg - afterward returned to Brother Bruce's: he is a lily among the thorns.
June 3
Preached to about one hundred and fifty serious people, and was blest in meeting class.
June 4
I preached to a few lifeless people at Stroud's. I find myself given to God in prayer, and am not peculiarly exercised; yet my spirits feel depression.
June 5
Had a rough ride over hills and dales to Guest's; Here brother Pigman met me, and gave an agreeable account of the work on the south branch of Patomac. I am kept in peace; and greatly pleased I am to get into the woods, where, although alone, I have blessed company, and sometimes think, Who so happy as myself?
June 6
We had twelve miles to R.'s, along a bushy, hilly road. A poor woman with a little horse, without a saddle, outwent us up and down the hills, and when she came to the place appointed, the Lord met with and blessed her soul.
June 7
I set out for the south branch of Patomac, a country of mountains and natural curiosities. Blessed be God for health and peace! The enemy strives against me; but I look to God from hour to hour. We found some difficulty in crossing Great-Capon River; three men very kindly carried us over in a canoe, and afterward rode our horses over the stream, without fee or reward; about five o'clock we reached W. R.'s; I laid me down to rest on a chest, and using my clothes for covering, slept pretty well - here I found need of patience.
June 8
Not being able to cross the South Branch, we had to bear away through the mountains, and to go up one of about two hundred yards elevation; in some places the breaks in the slate served for steps, in other parts of the ascent there were none; we at length reached the place appointed, and preached to about twenty, as I think, prayerless people, on Isaiah 1v. 6, 7. I hope some felt the word.
June 10
I preached at eleven o'clock to about two hundred people with a degree of freedom. I then rode to R. Williams's. On my way I had a vew of a hanging rock that appears like a castle wall, about three hundred feet high, and looks as if it had been built with square slate stones; at first glance a graveller would be ready to fear it would fall on him. I had about three hundred people; but there were so many wicked whiskey drinkers, who brought with them so much of the power of the devil, that I had but little satisfaction in preaching.
June 11
I rose at five o'clock, with a determination to live nearer to God. Here are a few believers groaning for full redemption, but many more are dying through controversy and for the want of urgent exhortation to purity of heart: it is hard for those to preach this doctrine who have not experimentally attained it, or who are not striving with all their hearts to possess it. From Williams's I crossed the South Branch and went to Patterson-Creek. I came to a Dutch settlement: the people love preaching, but do not understand class-meeting, because they are not enough conversant with the English tongue: and we cannot all do as J. Hagerty and H. Wydner, who speak both languages: could we get a Dutch preacher or two to travel with us, I am persuaded we should have a good work among the Dutch. I love these people - they are kind in their way. We have many trials and threatenings; but God is with us. I have lately been reading Fletcher's Checks, and they have been greatly blest to me: however he may be now treated, and his works held in light estimation, ages to come will bless God for his writings, as I have done for those of Baxter and other ancient divines.
I am now in a land of vallies and mountains, about ten or fifteen miles from the foot of the Alleghany; a mountain, that at this part of it, is two days' journey across; thither some of our preachers are going to seek the outcasts of the people. Blessed be God, I am kept in constant peace and love, and am not so subject to dejection as in times past.
June 18
My soul enjoyed great peace in family and private prayer. There is much talk about some of our preachers being taken up - I have no fears from that quarter.
June 19
I was led to wonder at myself when I considered the fatigue I went through - travelling in the rain; sleeping without beds, &c. - and in the midst of all I am kept in health: this confirms me in the persuasion that I am about the work I am called to, and the Lord gives me strength according to my day: so let thy work spread, blessed Jesus, and let not thy servants labour in vain!
June 21
We had hard work crossing the Fork-Mountain, being sometimes abliged to walk where it was too steep to ride. I was much blessed in speaking to about ninety Dutch folks, who appeared to feel the word. Here is a spring remarkable for its depth, and the quantity of water it discharges sufficient for a mill within two hundred yards from the source, which sometimes in freshets throws its mass of waters considerably above the ordinary level of the surface.
It does not appear that I do any great good; yet I am constantly happy and measurably holy: I bless the Lord for this.
June 23
Last evening I rode a mile and a half to see some of the greatest natural curiosities my eyes ever beheld - they were two caves, about two hundred yards from each other: their entrances were, as in similar cases, narrow and descending, gradually widening towards the interior, and opening into lofty chambers, supported, to appearance, by besaltic pillars: in one of these I sung,
"Still out of the deepest abyss,"
The sound was wonderful. There were stalactites resembling the pipes of an organ, which when our old guide, father Ellsworth, struck with a stick, emitted a melodious sound, with variations according to their size: walls, like our old churches; resemblances to the towers adjoining their belfries; and the natural gallery, which we ascended with difficulty - all to me was new, solemn, and awfully grand. There were parts which we did not explore - so deep, so damp, and near night. I cam away filled with wonder, with humble praise, and adoration.
In journeying through this mountainous district I have been greatly blessed, my soul enjoying constant peace. I find a few humble, happy souls in my course; and although present appearances are gloomy, I have no doubt but that there will be a glorious, Gospel-day in this and every other part of America.
There are but two men in the society at Lost-River able to bear arms; they were both drafted to go into the army; I have them what comfort I could, and prayed for them.
June 30
I got alone into a barn to read and pray. The people here appear unengaged: the preaching of unconditional election, and its usual attendant, Antinomianism, seems to have hardened their hearts.
July 1
More people attended preaching than I expected: I had some liberty in speaking but no great fervour, neither seemed there much effect produced. I retired to read and pray in the woods, the houses being small, and the families large.
July 13
For some days past my congregations have not been very large, which is in part owing to the harvest- home. I fasted from yesterday noon until four o'clock to-day; though much tempted, I have been blest. I have kept close to-day, and have read two hundred pages of Baxter's Saints' Rest; surely this is a most valuable book - a book I should like to read once a quarter.
July 16
We set out through the mountains for quarterly meeting. It was a very warm day, and part of our company stopped after thirty miles travelling; brother William Partridge and myself kept on until night overtook us in the mountain among rocks and woods, and dangers on all sides surrounding us: we concluded it most safe to secure our horses and quietly await the return of day; so we laid down and slept among the rocks, although much annoyed by the gnats...
July 12
Rode to the north Branch, crossed the Nobbly Mountain; at its foot we stopped, ate a little bread, drank fine water, prayed, and then went forward to Cressaps. I was pretty plain on Isaiah lv. 6, 7. Here Colonel Barrett met me, and conducted me two miles up the Alleghany: we were riding until near ten o'clock, the road was dreary, and the night was dark: I wanted rest and found it. We had nearly two hundred people to hear in this newly settled country - they were attentive; and I hope God will do something for them. After preaching on John vii. 17. we set out on our return: I was much fatigued, and it rained hard; my poor horse too, was so weak from the want of proper food, that he fell down with me twice; this hurt my feelings exceedingly - more than any circumstance I met with in all my journey beside.
July 14
Was rainy - however, it cleared away time enough to get to Williams's, on the south Branch. Brother Hagerty preached an excellent discourse on "Hoe would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth" - after which, I spoke about forty minutes on Prov. i. 23-25. I am not so pious as I want to be, I pray much, but I do not watch and pray enough: in the course of the labours of the day I purpose to do it more. Since Thursday we have rode sixty miles along incredibly bad roads, and our fare was not excellent. O what pay would induce a man to go through wet and dry, and fatigue and suffering, as we do? - souls are our hire.
July 16
We proceeded along to great and little Capon, over rough and stoney roads.
July 17
We went on through devious roads and arrived at Guess's - here I set on a scheme to prevent my horse from falling lame, that had yesterday lost a shoe; it was to bind round his foot a piece of the neck of a bull's hide - my contrivance answered the purpose well.
July 18
I preached at Stephen Harland's under the spreading trees, on David's charge to Solomon. Thence rode on to Boydstone's, where we staid one day, which afforded us the first leisure time since Monday morning, we have had to sit down and write. I am at times greatly concerned that there are no visible movings, and instantaneous conversions among the people.
July 20
Preached at Sheppard-Town, to about two hundred people: from thence, crossing the Patomac, came to Wood's.
June 18
After preaching at Shepherds-Town, I rode to Boyds-Town, and rested one day.
May 25
...From Sharpsburg I hastened on to Shepherdstown, where the Lord set home his word. Came to sister Boydstone's, one of the kindest women in Virginia; here all things were comfortable: I was sleepy, weary, and feeble, but my body and soul was refreshed: thanks be to God for every friend! I covenanted with God to be more in prayer; my soul is humbled before the Lord.
June 17
Lord, strengthen my resolution to be thine in heart more and more: make, and keep me always watching unto prayer!
I preached at Martinsburg to a hundred people or more, and was led out while I enlarged on "What is the Almighty that we should serve him" &c. Thence to Stroud's at seven o'clock, and spoke with great plainness; the people stared upon us; next morning we had all the workmen to prayer. The mother and two daughters appeared tender, and wept when we took our leave of them; who knows what God may do for them?
June 2
I reached Shepherd's Town with difficulty, and in pain. I was blest, and delivered my own soul. The people here are displeased with me because I do not send them brother Vasey. Riding through so much wet and damp weather has caused the inflammation of my foot, and I am afraid of being stopped: this is a great trial to me; Lord, give me a perfect resignation! We have had rain for eighteen days successively, and I have rode about two hundred miles in eight or nine days; a most trying time indeed...
June 17
We had a heavy ride to Morgan-Town: I was to have been there at four o'clock, but missing my way, I made it six.
June 18
We had a great day. When I had done preaching brother M. exhorted with life and power, and the power of God was felt among the people. I suppose there were nearly six hundred hearers present.
July 31
Rode to the springs (Bath) much tried in spirit. I gave myself to reading and prayer.
August 1
Preached at Bath.
August 5
Preached on Pet. iii. 9. to a large congregation, with but little liberty.
August 6
I began my lectures on the Prophecies by Bishop Newton, and had more hearers than I expected. The weather is very warm; many are sickly; and continued changes of comers and goers - all this leaves but little opportunity for prayer. I forbear reading on account of my eyes, lest I should not be able to read in public.
August 7-8
Had very few to hear, so I gave them up: every thing that is good is in low estimation at this place. I will return to my own studies: if the people are determined to go to hell, I am clear of their blood. My soul is clothed in sackcloth and covered with ashes before the Lord.
August 9
I enjoy some peace.
August 10
I feel a clam within, and the want of more life, and more love to God, and more patience with sinners. I read my Testament. Oh! What a weariness would life be without God, and love, and labour. The first two weeks of my time at Bath have been spent in carrying on the building of the new chapel, reading Newton on the Prophecies, visiting, bathing, &c. My soul has been under great trials, at times, but hitherto the Lord has helped.
August 21
O how sweet will labour, and Christian society, and the solitary woods be to me.
August 23
I have been under great exercises, but was divinely assisted in preaching on "The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous," &c.
August 26
I preached on "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings," &c. It was a solemn time - my soul was stayed upon God. We had a melting sacrament and love-feast, and many spoke. The devil is angry, and so are his children: brother Whatcoat spoke at the steps, and it was with difficulty the people kept themselves within decent bounds of respect.
August 31
I gave them my farewell address at Bath, and had many hearers.
September 1
I set out in the rain, and came to the widow Stroud's, where I met with T. V. who made some acknowledgments for what he had said in the heat of his zeal at Philadelphia and at Bath.
September 2
I attended at a place where every one has liberty to preach; but it so happened that no one had an appointment there but myself - The Methodists would do well to withdraw from this as a preaching place in their circuit. I had a large congregation at Shepherds-Town, to whom I spoke on Luke iv. 18. I have had some trials and great consolations; and at times, it is Paradise Regained with me since I left Bath and the wicked there.
June 30
Crossed the high mountains, and came to H___'s in Green-Brier.
July 1
I enlarged on Gal. iii. 22. We then rode to M'Pherson's, a serious family on Sinking Creek, where I preached with some freedom. After crossing some considerable mountains, and preaching occasionally, on Friday we arrived at the Sweet-Springs: here I preached, and the people were very attentive.
July 5 and 6
I had large congregations at Rohoboth; I preached with some satisfaction.
July 7
Our troubles began; it being the day we set out for Clarksburg. Thirty miles brought us to W___'s, on the Great-Levels.
July 8
Reached M'Neal's, on the Little Levels, where almost the whole settlement came together, with whom I found freedom on Matt. xi. 28, 29, 30. Our brother Phoebus had to answer questions propounded to him until evening.
July 9
We rode to the Clover Lick, to a very remote and exposed house: here we found good lodgings for the place. The former tenant had made a small estate by keeping cattle, horses, &c. on the range, which is fertile and extensive.
July 10
We had to cross the Alleghany mountain again, at a bad passage. Our course lay over mountains and through valleys, and the mud and mire was such as might scarcely be expected in December. We came to an old, forsaken habitation in Tygers-Valley: here our horses grazed about, while we boiled our meat: midnight brought us up at Jones's, after riding forty, or perhaps, fifty miles. The old man, our host, was kind enough to wake us up at four o'clock in the morning. We journeyed on through devious lonely wilds, where no food might be found, except what grew in the woods, or was carried with us. We met with two women who were going to see their friends, and to attend the quarterly meeting at Clarksburg. Near midnight we stopped at A___'s, who hissed his dogs at us: but the women were determined to get to quarterly meeting, so we went in. Our supper was tea. Brothers Phoebus and Cook took to the woods; old ___ gave up his bed to the women. I lay along the floor on a few deer skins with the fleas. That night our poor horses got no corn; and next morning they had to swim across the Monongahela: after a twenty miles' ride we came to Clarksburg, and man and beast were so outdone that it took us ten hours to accomplish it. I lodged with Col. Jackson. Our meeting was held in a long close room belonging to the Baptists: our use of the house it seems gave offence. There attended about seven hundred people, to whom I preached with freedom; and I believe the Lord's power reached the hearts of some. After administering the sacrament, I was well satisfied to take my leave. We rode thirty miles to Father Haymond's, after three o'clock, Sunday afternoon, and made it nearly eleven before we came in; about midnight we went to rest, and rose at five o'clock next morning. My mind has been severely tried under the great fatigue endured both by myself and my horse. O, how glad should I be of a plan, clean plank to lie on, as preferable to most of the beds; and where the beds are in a bad state, the floors are worse. The gnats are almost as troublesome here, as the moschetoes in the low-lands of the sea-board. This country will require much work to make it tolerable. The people are, many of them, of the boldest cast of adventurers, and with some the decencies of civilized society are scarcely regarded, two instances of which I myself witnessed. The great landholders who are industrious will soon show the effects of the aristocracy of wealth, by lording it over their poorer neighbours, and by securing to themselves all the offices of profit or honour: on the one hand savage warfare teaches them to be cruel; and on the other, the preaching of Antinomians poisons them withe error in doctrine: good moralists they are not, and good Christians they cannot be, unless they are better taught.
July 15
I had a lifeless, disorderly people to hear me at Morgantown, to whom I preached on "I will hear what God the Lord will speak." It is matter of grief to behold the excesses, particularly in drinking, which abound here. I preached at a new chapel near Colonel Martin's, and felt much life, love, and power. Rode to the widow R___'s, and refreshed with a morsel to eat: thence to M. Harden's, where, though we had an earth floor, we had good beds and table entertainment.
July 18
Rode forty miles to quarterly meeting at Doddridge's; where we had a melting season.
July 20
From twelve o'clock to-day we rode forty miles - my soul in sweet peace.
July 29
Reached Barratt's where we had a little rest and peace. We had left our horses at Old Town on the other side of the river, but I thought it best to have them brought over, and so it was; for that night there were two stolen. On Monday we rested; on Tuesday rode down to Capon; and on Wednesday visited Bath. I took lodgings at brother Williams's, was well fixed, and found the waters to be of service to me.
August 10
Preached at Bath. I received heavy tidings from the college - both our teachers have left; one for incompetency, and the other to pursue riches and honours: had they cost us nothing, the mistake we made in employing them might be the less regretted. I have read one volume of Church History, by Mosheim, containing an account of the state of ecclesiastical matters in Germany, and the different churches.
August 17
I attempted to preach at Bath, on the lame and the blind: the discourse was very lame; and it may be, I left my hearers as I found them - blind.
I am now closely engaged in reading, writing, and prayer - my soul enjoys much of God. We have great rains, and are obliged to keep close house; but we have a little of almost every thing to improve the mind - the languages, divinity, grammar, history, and belles-lettres: my great desire is to improve in the best things.
August 24
Preached at Bath on Isaiah lxiii. 1. with little liberty and poor attendance. But we have some stir among the poor people in the country.
August 29
We left Bath, and on the Saturday and Sunday following attended a quarterly meeting. I felt enlargement on Peter's case, and also in the love-feast.
August 7
Came to Bath. I took lodgings with our Virginia friends, Adams and Summers.
August 8
My soul has communion with God, even here. When I behold the conduct of the people who attend the springs, particularly the gentry, I am led to thank God that I was not born to riches; I rather bless God, that I am not in hell, and that I cannot partake of pleasure with sinners. I have read much, and spoke but little since I came here. The water has been powerful in its operation. I have been in great pain, and my studies are interrupted.
August 19
I left Bath; which was much sooner than I expected.
God was powerfully present at Hendrick's, where there were twelve or fifteen hundred people: many professed to be converted to God - Glory be to his name! My body enjoys better health; and blessed be God! My soul is wholly kept above sin: yet I blame myself for not being more watchful unto prayer; and I sometimes use unnecessary words. We made a tour through Berkeley circuit, where I had some freedom; and where we found not a little living affection in the congregations.
August 23
We had alarming words at Winchester, from Ezek. xxxiii. 11. I feel the worth of souls, and their disobedience gives me sorrow of heart. Oh Jehovah! Work for thine own glory!
August 29
Our quarterly meeting began in the woods near Shepherd's-Town: we had about seven hundred people: I felt energy and life in preaching, and power attended the word. Brother Willis spoke, and the Lord wrought powerfully.
August 30
Was a high day - one thousand or fifteen hundred people attended; sinners began to mock, and many cried aloud; and so it went. I was wonderfully led out on Psalm cxlv. 8-12; and spoke, first and last, nearly three hours. O, how the wicked contradicted and opposed!
July 10
We had a tedious, tiresome journey over hills and mountains to Pott's Creek. After a melting season at brother C___'s, we came to brother W___'s, where we were informed of the dath of dear brother John Tunnell.
July 11
Brother Tunnell's corpse was brought to Dew's chapel. I preached his funeral - my text, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." We were much blessed, and the power of God was eminently present. It is fourteen years since brother Tunnell first knew the Lord; and he has spoken about thirteen years, and travelled through eight of the thirteen States: few men, as public ministers, were better known or more beloved. He was a simple-hearted, artless, childlike man: for his opportunities, he was a man of good learning; had a large fund of Scripture knowledge, was a good historian, a sensible, improving preacher, a most affectionate friend, and a great saint; he had been wasting and declining in strength and health for eight years past, and for the last twelve months sinking into a consumption. I am humbled. O, let my soul be admonished to be more devoted to God!
July 12
The morning was rainy. About noon I set out for the Sweet-Springs, and preached on 1 Cor. i. 23-29. A few of the gentry were kind enough to come and hear - and some were enraptured with the sermon; for - it was very like the subject. The three following days I rested, and was very unwell. I had no place to preach, but under the trees, and preaching here seems unseasonable with the people except on Sundays.
July 16
Rode to Rohoboth, where brother W___ preached, and brother A___ and myself spoke after him, and the people appeared somewhat affected.
July 17
We had twenty miles to Green-Brier court-house: here some sat as critics and judges. We had to ride thirty-one miles without food for man or horse, and to call at three houses before we could get water fit to drink - all this may serve to try our faith our patience.
July 18
Some very pointed things were delivered relative to parents and children from Gen. xviii. 19. After being in public exercises from ten till two o'clock, we rode in the afternoon twenty miles to the little levels of Green-Brier. On my way I pre-meditated the sending of a preacher to a newly settled place in the Kenhaway county.
July 19
We had a warm sermon at M'Neal's, at which many were highly offended; but I trust their false peace is broken. There are many bears in this part of the country; not long since, a child in this neighbourhood was killed by one.
July 20
Rode to Drinnon's, whose wife was killed, and his son taken prisoner by the Indians.
July 21
I believe I never before travelled such a path as I this day rode over the mountains to reach Mr. Nelson's, in Tyger-Valley.
July 22
I preached at Wilson's. Here many careless people do not hear a sermon more than once in one or two years; this one of them told me; and that he and his wife had not been to preaching since I was here on my last visit. I endeavoured to apply "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
July 23
My horse lost a shoe on a bad raod, and next day on the mountains dropped two more; so I rode my old baggage horse along a most dreary, grown-up path to brother C___'s.
July 25
Attended quarterly meeting at Morgan-Town: I spoke on superstition, idolatry, unconditional election and reprobation, Antinomianism, Universalism, and Deism.
July 26
Preached on Matt. xxv. 31. to the end, brother W___ also gave us a sermon; and a Presbyterian minister two - so here we had it in abundance.
July 27
Preached at B___'s; and the next day at H___'s.
May 16
We came to Russell's old place, at Seven Mile Ford; and next day set out for Greenbrier, and reached C___'s. My spirits were too lively and disposed to gayety, which indulged, perhaps too far, made me feel mean before the Lord.
May 18
Rode to Hogg's; and next day to M___'s; forty miles each day: the roads were better than I expected.
May 20
Rode twenty miles. My weary body feels the want of rest; but my heart rejoiced to meet with the brethren who were waiting for me. I am more than ever convinced of the need and propriety of annual conferences, and of greater changes among the preachers. I am sensible the western parts have suffered by my absence; I lament this, and deplore my loss of strict communion with God, occasioned by the necessity I am under of constant riding; change of place; company, and sometimes disagreeable company; loss of sleep, and the difficulties of clambering over rocks and mountains and journeying at the rate of seven or eight hundred miles per month, and sometimes forty or fifty miles a day - these have been a part of my labours, and make no small share of my hinderances.
I crossed the Kanhaway at Paris's ferry. Here I conversed with a man who informed me a brother preacher had called there, and, as he said, was peevish: the dear man was just at death's door, and though his exercises and bodily infirmities may have pressed him sore, and excited expressions of discontent, he was, nevertheless, a meek and holy servant of God. My informant also mentioned another, who had been a member, and who would swear horribly and drink to excess: it is proper I notice, that I did not receive these accounts from a professor of religion. I though within myself - See how we are watched: ah! we little think oftentimes how narrowly our conduct, our tempers, are observed by the world; and poor sinners still less imagine how strictly we watch them, and how well this habit of observation, and the intimate knowledge we gain of our own hearts, makes us competent judges of their cases, and enables us so justly and so powerfully to condemn their wickedness.
May 21
I preached at Rehoboth on Isai. lv. 12. there was no great move: brothers H___ and C___ both spoke after me.
My mind and body feel dull and heavy, but still my soul drinks deeper into God. We rode about one hundred and sixty miles from the Rich Valley to Greenbrier conference; talking too much, and praying too little, caused me to feel barrenness of soul. We had a hope that not less then [sic] ten souls were converted during the conference: at preaching, I myself having a violent headach, retired; the Lord was with them at the sacrament; after which, the doors being opened, many came in and the meeting continued untill nearly sunset.
We had a most solemn ordination on Thursday morning. Afterward we rode through Greenbrier by the town, on to brother W___'s, a distance of thirty-six miles. My headach still continuing, brother Hope Hull preached, and I retired to rest.
May 26
We rode twenty-six miles to the Little Levels. O what a solitary country is this! We have now one hundred and twenty miles before us, fifty of which is a wilderness: there is a guard at two houses on our route; but I do not feat: nature is spent with labour; I would not live always - hail! happy death: nothing but holiness, perfect love, and then glory for me!
May 27
My body is much wearied; my bowels being much disordered, the water, the milk, and the bread, are like physic to me. We now thought it necessary to be moving; it was dreary work as we rode along the dreary path to D___'s; one of my companions, as well as myself, was unwell. From D___'s we had still forty miles to go, over hills and mountains: this, I think equalled, if not exceeded, any road I had ever travelled: we at length reached Tygers Valley. We stopped at Capt. S___'s, where there were several families crowded together, for fear of the Indians. The upper end of the valley has been depopulated, one family has been destroyed since I was last here. The Captain's wife was decent, kind, and sensible. Thence we went on to W___'s, where I got some fowl soup; thence a few miles to ____, where the woman of the house was kind and attentive but a still, a mill, a store, causes much company, and some not of the most agreeable kind.
May 30
We hasted to O___'s in the Cove, where we met with a most kind and affectionate reception. But O the flies for the horses, and the gnats for the men! And no food, nor even good water to be had. I slept well, although forced, ever and anon, to stir a little.
May 31
We had a dreary path, over desperate hills, for fifty miles; no food for man or beast, which caused both to begin to fail very sensibly: my bowels continued to be disordered, and had I not procured a little wine, I suppose I should have failed altogether.
June 19
Rod to Bath. Here I had the opportunity of writing to all the connected preachers in the district.
June 23
In the evening I preached with some assistance on Luke xix. 10.
June 24
I attended quarterly meeting at the widow Flint's. Here I had the first sight of Mr. Hammett's and brother Thos. Morrell's attacks on each other - or rather Mr. Hammett's against the Methodists, and brother Morrell's reply. Had brother M. known more, he would have replied better. Mr. H.'s quotation of a clause in my confidential letter to brother S_____d, is not altogether just. He has also misquoted the caution, leaving out the word "District," which, when retained, shows it to have been American, and to have been directed against American apostates and impostors.
June 25
We had a living love-feast, although the house was crowded, and warm, almost past sufferance.
June 27
I had a sweet opening at the quarterly meeting, on Ephes. ii. 12. I met the preachers, leaders, and stewards, and they resolved to enter more fully into the spirit of discipline. Next day I preached on "My Spirit shall not always strive with man."
May 25
Came to Rehoboth, in the sinks of Green-Briar; where we held our conference. I was greatly comforted at the sight of brothers B. J. and Ellis Cox. We had peace in our conference, and were happy in our cabin. I learn that mischief is begun in the lower parts of Virginia; J. O'Kelly, and some of the local preachers, are the promoters and encouragers of divisions among the brethren.
May 29
We passed the Sweet Springs, and crossed a rough mountain to brother Drew's, on Pott's creek. I wrote many letters to the south district of Virginia, to confirm the souls of the people, and guard them against the division that is attempted among them...
June 7
We rode to Bath, that seat of sin: here we continued to rest ourselves: my public work was a sermon on the Sabbath. A number of our society from various parts being here, I have an opportunity of receiving and answering many letters. I am afraid I shall spend nine or ten days here to little purpose; I employ myself in reading a Kempis, and the Bible: I also have an opportunity of going alone into the silent grove, and of viewing the continent, and examining my own heart. I hope for some relief from my rheumatic complaint which has so oppressed me for six months past. The people here are so gay and idle, that I doubt there being much good done among them. The troubles of the east and west meet me as I pass.
May 20
We rode forty miles to Indian-Creek, about fifteen miles above the mouth. We had no place to dine until we arrived at father C___'s, about six o'clock. If I could have regular food and sleep, I could stand the fatigue I have to go through much better; but this is impossible under some circumstances. To sleep four hours, and ride forty miles without food or fire is hard: but we had water enough in the rivers and creeks. I shall had rode nearly one thousand miles on the western waters before I leave them; I have been on the waters of Nolachucky, to the mouth of Clinch; on the north, middle, and south branches of Holstein; on New-River, Green Briar, and by the head springs of Monongahela. If I were able I should go from Charleston (S. C.) a direct course, five hundred miles, to Nolachucky; thence two hundred and fifty miles to Cumberland; thence one hundred to Kentucky; thence one hundred miles through that state, and two hundred to Saltsburg; thence two hundred to Green Briar; thence two hundred to Red-Stone, and three hundred to Baltimore. Ah! if I were young again! I was happy to have a comfortable night's sleep, after a hard day's ride, and but little rest the night before. I have now a little time to refit, recollect, and write. Here forts and savages once had a being, but now peace and improvement.
May 23
I rode to Rehoboth chapel in the sinks of Green Briar, where we held conference with a few preachers. Here I delivered two discourses. Thursday crossed Green Briar River, and had to pass along a crooked and dangerous path to Benton's. My mind is in peace.
May 27
I felt myself very heavy: my mind unprepared for the congregation at Gilboa meeting-house, and could not preach with any satisfaction. After meeting the society, I came away much clouded. We came off from brother C___'s about four o'clock, aiming at the Little Levels; but darkness came on, and we had to climb and blunder over the point of a mountain, in descending which my feet were so squeezed that the blood was ready to gush out of the pores: I could hardly help weeping out my sorrow: at length we came to brother H___'s, where the kindness of the family was a cordial, and we went to rest about ten o'clock, and all was well.
May 29
I was very warm in body and mind at M'Neale's. In the afternoon (contrary to my sentiment and practice on the Lord's day) we took our departure, purposing to reach Morgantown on Wednesday evening, in order to attend an appointment made for me on Thursday, the second of June. We reached my old friend Drinnon's, who received us gladly, and entertained us kindly. Next day (Monday) we opened our campaign through the mountains, following a path I had thought never to travel again. Frequently we were in danger of being plucked off our horses by the boughs of the trees under which we had to ride. About seven o'clock, after crossing six mountains and many rocky creeks and fords of Elk and Monongahela Rivers, we made the Valley of Distress, called by the natives Tyger's Valley. We had a comfortable lodging at Mr. White's; and here I must acknowledge the kindness and decency of the family, and their readiness to duty, sacred and civil. Thence we hastened on at the rate of forty-two miles a day. We had to ride four miles in the night, and went supperless to the Punchins, where we slept a little on hard lines.
After encountering many difficulties, known only to God and ourselves, we came to Morgantown. I doubt whether I shall ever request any person to come and meet me at the levels of Green Briar, or to accompany me across these mountains again, as brother D. Hitt has now done. Oh! how chequered is life! How thankful ought I to be that I am here safe, with life and limbs, in peace and plenty, at kind brother S___'s.
August 15
We rode twenty-eight miles to Charlestown. We had a very rocky, uneven rode. We stopped at Key's ferry, and were kindly entertained. Friday at eleven o'clock we held a meeting in Charlestown, and then rode on eighteen miles to Millborough.
August 30
At Charlestown I preached under the shady oaks to perhaps fifteen hundred people, upon Hebr. x. 39, it was a gracious season: truth had its dominion in some minds. We administered the sacrament. I ordained to the office of deacons, John M'Pherson, and Thomas Littleton. I rode home with John Davenport.
August 19
At Charlestown I preached from 2 Cor. vi. 1.; some souls felt the energy of the word. We dined at brother Englishe's, and rode on to John Davenport's to lodge.
September 5
We rode ten miles to John Beck's, near West-Liberty. I preached on Act iii. 26.; one soul who had been convicted at our quarterly meeting, professed to find peace with God, and shouted glory! with a loud voice. On Tuesday I preached near this place to a crowd, at John Spaugh's. I came with Rezin Pomfry down the great hill, to the Ohio. Wednesday brought us to Charlestown, the capital of Brook county, situated at the mouth of Buffalo, eighty miles from Pittsburgh. We found the Ohio so low, that the boat of Colonel Lewis, who is going to explore the Mississippi, would not float over the flats.
September 9
At Charlestown I preached in Brook court-house, on Joshua xxiv. 19. We came to Nicholas Pomfrey's to lodge in the evening. On Saturday we crossed at Pomfrey's ferry, and attended West-Wheeling quarterly meeting at Hopewell chapel. I ordained brother Wrenshall to the office of deacon, and then came to the stand, and preached on the Sabbath day on 1 Peter v. 10. We had love-feast and sacrament. There was a cry raised very soon, and it was with difficulty I could keep the thread of my discourse whilst they were singing and shouting upon the top of the hill. At candle light the cry began again, and continued until the break of day on Monday morning: it was judged there were twenty souls converted to God. I came away, keeping up Indian Short-Creek to Isaac Meek's, ten miles; on this stream are some of as fine lands as any in America.
September 12
We came to Morrison's tavern, twenty miles, our route laying along upon the branches of Short Creek, Wheeling, and Stillwater - the land still fertile...
August 22
We had showers to brother Reynold's: we passed through Sharpsburg, and lodged at Sheppard-Town. I was informed of a camp-meeting, held near Charlestown, Jefferson county, at which between sixty and seventy souls professed to be converted to God: the meeting held nine days. On Thursday I started, and next day breakfasted with Mrs. Gough at Bath. I found Mr. Lyell here; his mind deeply engaged with his new design; he was very attentive to me. After resting three hours, I came away to William Dimett's.
October 5
We forded Patowmac about a mile above the south forks, and called in to see mother Pool. We came on to Capon, and lodged at Mr. Largeat's.
April 1
...At Charlestown my Sabbath day's subject was 1 Cor. vi. 19, 20. We lodged with Mr. Key. On Monday we reached Fredericktown; on Tuesday Joshua Jones's, Sam's Creek: and on Wednesday 10, came into Baltimore.
August 19
We set out and came to the Old Fort; crossed the Monongahela, and lodged with Dr. Wheeler, he and his lady are Londoners; and Oh, how kind they were! How did the salvation of the souls of these kind friends rest upon me! The Doctor's mother had been in band society with Mr. Wesley. From six in the morning to seven in the evening of Thursday, we made about forty miles, over some rough roads and desperate hills: we wished to redeem time, that we might refit at John Beck's, near West Liberty; so we ate not on the route, though we fed the horses twice. I had had pain of a rheumatic kind for some days.
August 21
Marked letters to transcribe, read, took medicine, and nursed myself. On Saturday I preached in Beck's new house on Philip. ii. 12, 13. On the Sabbath I preached in an excellent stone meeting-house, at Short-Creek, to about one thousand souls, from 2 Cor. iii. 7, 8. We crossed over into the state of Ohio on Monday; and I gave them a sermon in the court-house at St. Clairsville.
July 31
At Bethel chapel, Short-Creek, I gave them a sermon. I spoke in great weakness.
August 1
I preached in the court-house at Wheeling. I have great pain. At Colonel Zane's, where I lodged, the aged people were kind indeed...
August 20
...We crossed into Virginia and preached at Brook county court-house on the evening of Thursday. Our lodging was the stationed preacher's, William Sandinin. My brethren were kind enough to make appointments for me, at least to publish in the public prints more than I had designed: I might murmur at this, and perhaps I do; well, elders must be better and do more than other men - granted. I can truly say my life is like a daily death. God is my refuge and my reward. I preached on Saturday at Beck's.
August 27
At Short-Creek chapel my subject was 1 Thess. iv. 3. I contemplate two chapels; one of forty feet square, and the other of fifty feet; the first in Charleston, Alexander Wells to give the lot; and the other in Wheeling, the ground to be bestowed for its erection by Colonel Zane. Our appointment for Monday was in Wheeling court-house; I spoke with light, and life, and power. The following day, (Tuesday) brother Boehm spoke at St. Clairsville.
September 2
Saturday, I hear of a camp-meeting at Little Kenhaway, and must needs go there. After toiling through bad roads, and accidents at the ferry to detain us, we are here this Saturday night at nine o'clock, safe at the house of the brother of Wilson Lee. Lord, prepare me by thy grace for the patient endurance of hunger, heat, labour, the clownishness of ignorant piety, the impudence of the inpious, unreasonable preachers, and more unreasonable heretics and heresy!
September 9
I preached at the camp twice. Souls were converted, and we hope much good was done. We ordained John Holmes an elder. Monday, came away. At B. Wolf's, we gave them Dutch and English sermons. Tuesday, preached at the Point-Wood's court-house, to a large congregation. We lodged at Mr. Browning's, on the other side of the river. On Wednesday I preached in a school-house on a bluff opposite Blannerhassett's island. Colonel Putnam, son of the renowned General of that name, invited me to the house of Waldo, grandson of the old chief: I had a very interesting interview with several revolutionary officers, emigrants to this country, from good old Massachusetts. Thursday, we took our departure from the banks of the beautiful river, (the Ohio,) beautiful indeed!

Indigenous people and policy makers were brought together to discuss the best way to preserve tropical forests at the IUCN World Conservation Congress.
Leading policy makers, such as Barnabas Suebu, Governor of the Indonesian province Papua, and a Quechuan indigenous leader from the Ecuadorian Amazon, Johnson Cerda, discussed how saving forests could alleviate poverty and help fight climate change.
"Conserving and restoring forests for existing carbon markets is seen by many as an important opportunity for achieving effective climate change mitigation and saving biodiversity and benefiting livelihoods," says Dr Joshua Bishop, IUCN's Chief Economist. "Policymakers have begun to recognize the importance of tropical forests in climate change mitigation."
Deforestation and land change contribute at least 20 percent of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. All major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, including emissions from tropical deforestation and degradation, must be dramatically reduced to avert catastrophic impacts on people and biodiversity due to climate change.
The importance of involving indigenous peoples at high level negotiations – a technique used by IUCN – was highlighted.
REDD, which stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, is one example of a technique that can be used to ensure forest carbon activities conserve biodiversity as well as help alleviate poverty.
Other participants of the workshop included Glenn Prickett, Senior Vice President for Business and US Governmental Relations, Conservation International, Jill Blockhus, Senior Policy Advisor, The Nature Conservancy, and Johannes Ebeling, Senior Consultant, EcoSecurities.

I would like to see a picture of that. Here's what it should look like.
Just remember to "polarize" the 2-terminal roundcan cut-off at the front of the steering column under the battery tray. Just "arc-spark" the 2-terminals together, engine OFF. I use a pair of pliers handles, but you can use bailin'warr iff'n you want. You can "re-polarize" as many times as it takes to feel warm'n'fuzzy ...er... charged.
HOWSOMEVERS: remember YOU are the voltage regulator to the 1-terminal 3rd-brush on the END casting of 11-amp 2N-genny. Adjust the 3rd brush for about 3-4 amps charge (+) on the dash panel ammeter at about 1/3-throttle. Yeah, that means some walkin'round stuff. Normally, ya don't haffta do nuttin after the original 3rd-brush setting ...unless... you have dealer installed OPTIONAL headlites. It should be intuitively obvious that when you turn yer headlites ON, ya better re-adjust the 3rd-brush for more charge ...or... yer gonna KILL yer battery. ...and... conversely re-adjust yer 3rd-brush when you turn yer headlites OFF ...or... you will BOIL the acid out and warp the lead plated and haffta buy a NEW BATTERY.
Unfortunately, all this is automatic in yer 12V Belchfire-V8 and all you ever see is the idiot lite on the dash iff'n sumptin' is wrong. ........electrical Dell
