South Carolina Military Records
This entry was originally written by Johni Cerny and Gareth L. Mark for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Colonial Wars. South Carolina's military history began in 1670 when the Spanish attacked 'Old Town.' Frequent battles with the Spanish, French, and Indian tribes continued throughout the colonial period. Unfortunately, few records have survived to tell of the participants and the nature of their involvement. Leonardo Andrea compiled a list of soldiers who served in various military capacities between 1715 and 1772 in South Carolina Colonial Soldiers and Patriots (Columbia, S.C., 1952). See also Murtie June Clark, Colonial Soldiers of the South, 1732'1774 (1986; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, Co., 1999). Mention of South Carolina soldiers may be found in works dealing with specific wars of a national or regional scope.
Revolutionary War. South Carolinians were heavily involved in the Revolutionary War on both sides. Although some records were destroyed, the Revolutionary War resources for South Carolina are quite rich.
Patriots who served in the Continental Line may be found by examining the National Archives microfilm publications (see page 9), which are available at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History and the The Family History Library (FHL). Original pension records are available at the National Archives, but a published index (see page 9) is widely available.
South Carolina militia units that participated in the Revolutionary War are not included in the service records listed above. A recent compilation of Patriot records, including militia records, is Bobby Gilmer Moss, comp., Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution (1983; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994). See also Alexander S. Salley, Jr., comp., South Carolina Provincial Troops in Papers of the First Council of Safety, 1775 (1900'02; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1999).
Loyalists may be found in Murtie June Clark, Loyalists in the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War, 3 vols. (1981; reprint, Genealogical Publishing Co., 1999). See also South Carolina Royalist Troops, Muster Rolls, 1777'1783, on two microfilm reels at the South Caroliniana Library in Columbia (see South Carolina Archives, Libraries, and Societies).
Many South Carolinians can be found in the Accounts Audited of Claims Growing Out of the Revolution at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. The Accounts Audited is indexed in the Combined Alphabetical Index (see Background Sources for South Carolina).
Stub indents are another important resource. When South Carolina paid claims for goods, services, or damages from the Revolutionary War, they were paid with certificates called indents. Rather like stub checkbooks, the certificates were in two parts: one part was issued to the claimant as compensation; the other part was a stub on which pertinent information, such as the claimant's name, the nature of the claim, and the amount paid was recorded. The state retained the stub of the indents, and they are found at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History in Office of the Commissioners of the Treasury, Stub Indents and Indexes, 1779'1791, 22 vols. See also Alexander S. Salley Jr., ed., Stub Entries to Indents Issued in Payment of Claims Against South Carolina Growing Out of the Revolution, 12 vols. (Columbia, S.C.: University of South Carolina Press, 1910'27). Irregularly issued reprints may be available. See also Charles H. Lesser, Sources for the American Revolution at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (Columbia, S.C.: South Carolina Department of Archives and History, 2000).
War of 1812. The National Archives has service records, pension files, and indexes to the War of 1812 service and pension records (see page 9). See also Virgil D. White, comp., Index to War of 1812 Pension Files, 3 vols. (Waynesboro, Tenn.: The National Historical Publishing Co., 1989). Extensive manuscript and microfilmed records of South Carolina units and soldiers of the War of 1812 are at the South Caroliniana Library in Columbia (see Archives, Libraries, and Societies). The Department of History & Archives has a card index of South Carolina Pay Lists.
Civil War. The military personnel records of the Confederate States of America, along with other confederate records captured by the Union Army, were taken to Washington and preserved by the War Department. Consequently, service records for South Carolina Confederate soldiers can be found in the National Archives. See the National Archives microfilm publications: Compiled Service Records of Confederate Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from the State of South Carolina; Index to the Compiled Service Records of Confederate Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from the State of South Carolina; and (Service) Records Relating to Confederate Naval and Marine Personnel. These three series are available at the National Archives and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. See also Alexander S. Salley, Jr., comp., South Carolina Troops in Confederate Service, 3 vols. (Columbia, S.C.: R. L. Bryan, 1913'14, 1930). References to South Carolina regimental histories are found in C. E. Dornbusch, comp., Military Bibliography of the Civil War, vol. 2 (New York: New York Public Library, 1967): 84-90.
South Carolina enacted a pension law for indigent Confederate veterans in 1888. Subsequent revisions in 1895, 1896, 1900, 1903, and 1910 added widows of veterans and all veterans who gave service in any Confederate state. A complete revision in 1919 established the Confederate Pension Department and County Pension Boards. Virtually all veterans and their widows qualified for pensions, but everyone receiving or wishing to receive a pension had to reapply. The reapplications are at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History and are indexed in the 'Card File Index of 1919'1926 South Carolina Confederate Pension Applications' at the Department.

McCawley, Guide to Civil War Records: A Guide to the Records in the South Carolina Department of Archives & History (Columbia, S.C.: The Department of Archives and History, 1994); Alexia Jones Hensley, South Carolina's African American Confederate Pensioners, 1923'1925 (Columbia, S.C.: Department of Archives and History, 1998) detailing the activities and some personal information of a group of African Americans during the Civil War; and Patrick J. McCawley, Selected Civil War Bibliography (Columbia, S.C.: Department of Archives & History, 1998), listing over 450 titles published from 1863 to 1996.

Mexican War. The Palmetto Regiment took part in the campaign in the Valley of Mexico. Jack Allen Meyer, South Carolina in the Mexican War: A History of the Palmetto Regiment of Volunteers, 1846'1917 (Columbia, S.C.: Department of Archives and History, 1996) chronicles the formation of the regiment's companies, includes rosters of soldiers, maps tracing the routes they took, and the swords and medals awarded to the soldiers upon their return.

The 33-year-old center has two games under his belt since signing a professional tryout contract with the Checkers last Thursday, just a day before he entered the lineup. Though he'd been skating several times a week in Vancouver, where he was most recently employed, he's admittedly still working to get back into the rhythm that only game action can set.
When that happens, he's hoping he'll be able to prove that he can still play in the NHL, as he's done for a whopping 864 games over 13 seasons.
"My career's not over, and I want to play until I no longer enjoy coming to the rink and feel like I can no longer contribute," he said. "Those things haven't happened yet.
"Last year I felt the same way, and me not playing was just Mike's opinion."
In making that comment, Malhotra was referring to the decision by Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis to place him on injured reserve last February, ending his season after nine games. Gillis said that he did so because he was concerned about the safety of Malhotra, who suffered a serious injury when a puck deflected into his eye nearly two full years earlier, permanently affecting his vision.
As he had done in the past, Malhotra, having just played his first two competitive games since last suiting up for the Canucks, made it clear that he does not share those concerns.
"That's his opinion of the matter," Malhotra reiterated of Gillis. "At no point do I feel like I'm in danger. I see hits coming. It was never a matter of how I feel, it was just his opinion."
Since suffering the injury, Malhotra has undergone multiple corrective procedures and played a full NHL season in 2011-12, ranking fourth in the league in faceoff percentage (58.5). He even returned to compete in the Stanley Cup Playoffs just months later.
"It's never going to be the same as it was, much like any injury, but I've learned to use what I have," he said.
Based on his first two performances with the Checkers, what he has now does not seem to be much different than what he had all along. Known as a premier defensive player and faceoff specialist, the seventh overall pick in the 1998 NHL draft made an immediate impact in both areas, most notably sacrificing his body to block key shots in both games against the Oklahoma City Barons.
It took even less time than that to make an impression on his coach.
"From day one at the morning skate, he was talking to his linemates about what they were going to do on faceoffs that night," said coach Jeff Daniels. "He's just a true pro."
With Malhotra being the oldest and most experienced player to ever play for the Checkers, his teammates are taking advantage of the opportunity to listen.
"It's huge," said 22-year-old center Brody Sutter. "He's one of the best at what he does, and he's the perfect example of what I want to be - he's really good defensively and can also chip in as a secondary scorer. I've been sticking around him as much as I can, and I've already learned a ton."
"I enjoy that part of it," said Malhotra, cracking a smile. "I remember what it was like to be in their shoes, asking a lot of questions, and it proves how much they want to get better and learn what it takes. I think that's a really positive sign for this organization."
As with any other tryout contract, it's uncertain as to how long this one will last and how long those conversations will continue. If all goes well for Malhotra, he ends up back in the NHL in relatively short order, whether it's with Carolina or another team that could end up being persuaded by a successful return to action.
Until then, he'll continue to try to rediscover his game with Charlotte, a process that could actually be helped by what amounts to a second training camp as the team goes through an unprecedented 14-day break between games.
"There's no replicating game action and I'd like to be in as many game situations as possible, but it's good to get around the guys to build some chemistry and learn the system," he said. "I guess it's a blessing in disguise."

Connie Deming
Connie Deming
Connie Deming, New England daughter of a classical pianist and a baritone, grew up "singing in secret."
From the artist herself: "I watched the way my father presided over my sister's voice, winced as my brother mocked the operatic sounds coming from her throat as she practiced her vocalizations, and decided I wanted none of that kind of scrutiny. I would wait until the piano and I could be alone, savoring the fun and freedom of it, and sing! Thanks to a few years of my mother's piano lessons, I was able to accompany myself. By the end of my senior year in high school, I'd let the cat out of the bag and joined school choirs and talent shows, singing everything I could get my hands on, from Faure and Bernstein to Joni Mitchell and Elton John and the Beatles. I loved it all, picking up the guitar as well, which my father and brother and boyfriend played. When my son was born in 1985, I began to write my own songs."

With an itch to make a scarf, I found myself happily lost in the pages of Barbara Walker's seminal "Treasuries" of stitch patterns. Intrigued by the rhythms and possibilities of her slip stitch patterns, I think I tried them all. And then I finally combined a couple, a bit of Woven Stitch and a dash of Linen Stitch and voila, a reversible stripe!
This magical world of slip stitches has me firmly in its clutches. How else could there be a simple knit fabric with so much complexity and fascination?!? One side of this stitch pattern is smooth and flat, seemingly woven, with impeccably thin horizontal pinstripes; while the other side is textured in deep, hearty ridges, running in vertical stripes like a knotted tweed.
When wrapped, folded, and tucked around your neck, this scarf is delightfully dizzying! It achieves all I hoped for and more. No curled edges and two sides that aren't just both presentable, but whose contrast in pattern and texture actually enliven and complement one another.
In the spirit of the love and generosity of Valentine's Day, I knit up my scarf in Jade Sapphire's unparalleled Zageo 6 Ply Cashmere. An elegant yarn for a timeless scarf, it is amazingly soft and toasty warm. If only I had the heart to actually give it away! -Laura
Update: New Yarn + New Size
October 2013
Pictured below is a new version of the Reversible Stripes Scarf using a combination of Jade Sapphire's Zageo 6 Ply Cashmere and Alchemy's Kozmos, a wonderfully complex yarn that adds texture and shine.
I followed the original pattern (below) with one modification: a cast on of 55 stitches, resulting in a more generous finished dimension of 9 inches wide x 92 inches long. -Laura
Update: New Yarn in Original Size
September 2017
In an opposites-attract spirit, we used two very different Purl Soho yarns to knit up a new Reversible Stripes Scarf. Our gorgeous new Season Alpaca gives this scarf the kind of coziness that feels so good against your neck, while our classic Mulberry Merino brings understated luster and smooth warmth. For more pictures and our new bundle options, visit the Reversible Stripes Scarf in New Yarns post! -Laura
For the new version (left)…
- Yarn A: 4 skeins of Alchemy's Kozmos, 30% silk, 26% mohair, 15% wool, 31% cotton, in the color Silver.
- Yarn B: 3 skeins of Jade Sapphire's Zageo 6 Ply Cashmere,100% Mongolian Cashmere, in the color Ivory.
Or for the original (right)…
- Yarn A: 2 skeins of Jade Sapphire's Zageo 6 Ply Cashmere, 100% Mongolian Cashmere, in the color Pewter.
- Yarn B: 2 skeins of Jade Sapphire's Zageo 6 Ply Cashmere, 100% Mongolian Cashmere, in the color Ivory.
Pictured below are swatches of nine additional available colorways, each using 2 colors of Jade Sapphire's Zageo 6 Ply Cashmere…
- Top Row, from left: Silver Fox (Color A) + Pewter (Color B), Silver Pearl + Cousin Coral, Pink Panther + Silver Pearl
- Middle Row, from left: Ivory + Pink Panther, Ivory + Silver Pearl, Pewter + Silver Pearl
- Bottom Row, from left: Ivory + Cousin Coral, Silver Pearl + Silver Fox, Cousin Coral + Pink Panther
You will also need:
- US 7, 12, 16 or 24-inch circular needle
24 stitches = 4 inches in stitch pattern
- New Scarf (6 Ply Cashmere + Kozmos): 9 inches wide x 92 inches long
- Original Scarf (all 6 Ply cashmere): 8 inches wide by 72 inches long
- Swatches: 3 1/2 inches square
If you would like to adjust this pattern for a different width, simply cast on any odd number of stitches.
Slip stitches purlwise.
Each row in this pattern starts with the instructions to either "Turn" or "Slide" the work:
- "Turning the work" means to do what you would normally do when knitting rows with a circular needle. That is to say, put the needle in your left hand into your right and the needle in your right hand into your left, and flip the work around so the opposite side is facing you.
- "Sliding the work" means to keep the same side of the work facing you and to push all the stitches to the right end of the circular needle. Without turning the work, start the new row as you normally would.
You will know that you're doing this right if the yarn you need to complete the next row is magically there waiting for you! For extra help, check out our Reversible Stripes Stitch video tutorial!
With Yarn A, cast on 49 stitches (or 55 stitches for the 6 Ply/ Kozmos version).
Row 1 (wrong side): Turn, and slip 1 with yarn in front (wyif). With Yarn B, *p1, slip 1 with yarn in back (wyib), repeat from * to end.
Row 2 (wrong side): Slide, and with Yarn A, *p1, slip 1 wyib, repeat from * to last stitch, p1.
Row 3 (right side): Turn, and slip 1 wyib. With Yarn B, *k1, slip 1 wyif, repeat from * to end.
Row 4 (right side): Slide, and with Yarn A, *k1, slip 1 wyif, repeat from * to last stitch, k1.
Repeat Rows 1-4 until piece measure 71 1/4 inches (or 91 1/4 inches for the 6 Ply / Kozmos version).
Repeat Rows 1-3
In Yarn A, bind off in knit.
With Yarn A, cast on 23 stitches.
Repeat Rows 1-4 until piece measures 2 3/4 inches.
Repeat Rows 1-3
In Yarn A, bind off in knit.

There are only two of us at the table most nights. I really like this recipe but it is one that feeds the multitudes so we only have it occasionally. The recipe contains one special ingredient - sumac. Sumac is a bush that grows all over the middle east and in southern Italy. It is available from mail order spice vendors. It's a souring agent like lemon juice, tamarind or vine vinegar but it's less acidic. It is most commonly used as a dry rub for chicken, meat or fish but it can also be added to other dishes near the end of cooking time. Fattoush is a Lebanese bread salad - like a panzanella but made with stale pita instead of Italian bread. This is great as an accompaniment to grilled lamb. There's a lot of chopping but fattoush is easy enough to do. I hope you'll give it a try.
6 small (6-inch) day old pita bread, cut in 1/2-inch squares
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 serrano chili, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon salt + salt to taste

Our new survey suggests that companies experienced in analytics use are increasingly gaining competitive advantage — but their approaches vary.
Several prominent technology companies recently predicted that a zettabyte of data will soon be racing about the Internet.1
This raises several important questions, including, just what is a zettabyte? The answer: a nearly unfathomable quantity of data, roughly equivalent to the information contained in 100 million Libraries of Congress.
The next big data measure after zettabyte is a yottabyte. It is not named after a Star Wars character. Describing the size of a yottabyte makes you sound like a 5-year-old: "You know, it's a thousand trillion billion bytes…" It would take billions of years to download a yottabyte file at current high-speed broadband speeds.
If Internet traffic continues to grow at current rates, we will likely approach the yottabyte milestone before the end of this century.2 At that point or, more likely, long before, we will have to invent some new words for what comes next. The International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission — the official name givers for this sort of thing — have no words for chunks of data that large.
It is no small problem when words fail to capture the world's immensity. When old concepts fail to keep up with change, traditions and past experience become inadequate guides for what to do next. When the normal ties between what is known and what is wise, between knowledge and practical wisdom tease apart, a gap emerges and the routes to wisdom shift.
The Leading Question
What kinds of organizations are gaining a competitive advantage from analytics, and how?
- There is a widening gap between organizations that are gaining advantage.
- Management support for analytics, including sponsors and top-down mandates, is critical.
- Data-oriented cultures have three key characteristics that can be developed and refined.
For managers, the pressure is on to find new approaches to their portion of the zettabyte — to develop new data-oriented management systems that make sense of the enormous amount of data their organizations are generating. The increasing trend toward the use of analytics in business is driven by the need — and the ability — to use data to create not just business value but also competitive advantage.

As the next part of my project, I am looking at repowering the boat. The transmissions are due for a rebuild and the one engine seems to get water in the oil. I wanted to ask everyone's opinion.
Should I pull the current engines/transmissions at the end of the season and attempt to rebuild those? Should I look for a good deal on a couple of 318s and have them completely rebuilt and then installed after they are complete?
I would have the engines/transmissions pulled. Service the transmissions and then reinstall everything. Sounds simple but it won't be.

House Republicans pass bill to give states ability to regulate coal ash from power plants same as municipal waste, shift authority away from EPA; legislation unlikely to be considered in Democratic-controlled Senate
October 14, 2011
(Associated Press)
– House Republicans pushed through legislation Friday that gives the states the power to regulate coal ash from power plants as if it were municipal garbage, pre-empting pending federal regulations that could be much tougher.
The vote on coal ash disposal was the latest of several passed by the GOP-controlled House that would shift authority away from the Environmental Protection Agency and reduce federal regulations that Republicans say are burdensome, hamper economic growth and cost jobs.
Other bills have dealt with toxic emissions from power plants, cement plants and incinerators. Like those bills, the coal ash bill is unlikely to be considered in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Under the measure, sponsored by West Virginia Rep. David McKinley, garbage must be disposed of in landfills that have liners to protect groundwater, monitors to test water for contamination and equipment to control dust. The bill would not cover coal ash sitting in surface ponds or impoundments now. The vote was 267-144, with 37 Democrats voting "yes."
McKinley said his legislation was "a jobs bill and a public health bill; protecting the livelihoods and the health of our working men and women are not mutually exclusive ideas." His office pointed out that, unlike the other GOP-sponsored EPA bills, the White House had not issued a veto threat and that 14 Senate Democrats had expressed support for the bill's approach.
The Environmental Protection Agency is currently considering several options on how to regulate coal ash, from giving it a special status as a hazardous waste so it could still be recycled to classifying it as a solid waste, which comes with fewer requirements. The industry has said that even a solid waste classification would prompt the closure of some existing coal ash ponds and landfills, costing jobs and raising energy bills.
"The results of EPA's regulations would have been devastating on the effects of jobs, higher utility rates at home, and cripple a very successful emerging biproducts industry," said Rep. John Shimkus, R-Ill., chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee's environment and economy panel.
The bill allows the EPA to get involved if a state chooses not to act or the agency finds the state program deficient. But the White House said it strongly opposed the bill, saying it was insufficient to address the risks of coal ash disposal and undermined the federal government's ability to ensure requirements that adequately protect human health and the environment.
Without a minimum federal health standard, "the result will inevitably be uneven and inconsistent rules by the states; some states will do a good job, others will do a poor jobs," said Rep. Henry Waxman of California, top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee. "And when they do a poor job, the public will pay the price."
The EPA's role in coal ash increased after a 2008 spill from a disposal pond at a Tennessee Valley Authority power plant in Kingston, Tenn., flooded hundreds of acres of land, damaged homes and killed fish in nearby rivers.
A federal survey conducted after the spill found the toxic leftovers of burning coal for power at nearly 600 sites in 35 states. Spills have occurred at 34 of those sites over the past decade, the agency said. Without federal guidelines, regulations of the ash disposal vary by state. Most sites lack liners and have no monitors to ensure that ash and its contents don't seep into underground aquifers.
Over the years, the volume of waste has grown as demand for electricity increased and the federal government clamped down on emissions from power plants.
In 2001, the EPA said it wanted to set a national standard for ponds or landfills used to dispose of wastes produced from burning coal.
Ash is produced in the burning of coal and is caught by scrubbers required to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide.
The coal ash regulation is one of a host of environmental regulations targeted by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., in a memo to House Republicans in August.
But unlike previous bills, which target regulations the EPA has either proposed or finalized, the agency hasn't made any decision on coal ash. An inspector general's report released earlier this year found that the EPA promoted the reuse of coal ash in wallboard and as filler in road embankments without properly assessing the environmental risks.
Coal ash contains arsenic, selenium, lead and mercury in low concentrations. But like many other types of energy waste - such as drilling muds - is not classified as hazardous under waste laws.

Florida Memory is excited to announce that the papers of Florida's third and fifth territorial governor Richard Keith Call are now online and accessible for viewing. The collection was made available for digitization with the assistance of the Florida Historical Society, which holds the original documents.
Call was twice the territorial governor of Florida (1836-1839, 1841-1844), as well as a general in the state militia, a state legislator, and a Congressional delegate for Florida prior to statehood. The documents in this collection illuminate several aspects of our state's territorial and early statehood history, including territorial politics, the challenges of the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), and the emergence of Florida as a state. Moreover, the collection provides intriguing portraits of Call and his family, whose personalities and contributions make this a most useful addition to the State Library and Archives' Florida Memory website for researchers and Florida history enthusiasts.
Although Call is most often remembered for his service as a military commander and governor, his Florida journey began much sooner, before the territory was a United States possession. Call accompanied General Andrew Jackson on his controversial invasion of Spanish Florida (1818) during the First Seminole War, and defended the general against the criticism that followed. Although the Spanish government protested Jackson's intrusion, it was at that time in no position to force a showdown over the matter. Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1819, and following ratification of the transaction in 1821 President James Monroe appointed Jackson to become the state's provisional governor. At Jackson's request, Call went to Pensacola to prepare for the general's arrival. Call and Jackson both had hoped that President Monroe would appoint Call as the Secretary of West Florida, but Monroe chose instead to appoint George Walton, II of Georgia to that post, citing the fact that he had already granted Call the favor of a commission as captain in the Army at a time when the military was downsizing.
Despite this setback, Call served the young territory in a number of other ways. He represented Pensacola in the legislative sessions of 1822 and 1823, with broad support from his constituents. In 1823, Call was elected as Florida's delegate to Congress. Although as a territorial representative he was unable to vote, Call worked diligently on behalf of Florida's interests. He persuaded Congress to provide a quarter section of land for the territorial capital that would eventually be built at Tallahassee, and he argued for bills excluding foreign commercial fishermen from Florida waters and authorizing the layout of new public roads in the territory.
Following a period of indecision over whether to run again for Congressional delegate, Call left Washington and returned to Florida in 1825 as the receiver of public monies for the government land office in Tallahassee. He also pursued a lucrative law practice, and used the proceeds from both of his positions to buy up public lands in the fertile Middle Florida region, especially in Jefferson and Leon counties.
Although Call was generally popular, he was known for having a terrible temper at times, and he was not entirely without enemies in Florida. Call's political opponents often made thinly veiled jabs at the cluster of officials close to him at the government land office, referring to them as "the land office circle" or "the Nucleus." Perhaps Call's most ardent enemy was Colonel Joseph M. White, who had replaced him as Florida's Congressional delegate in 1825. Call and White had been on the outs for years, but the politics surrounding that election made matters much worse. The two politicians traded insults that ultimately drove them to the brink of a duel, which they avoided only through careful negotiations and the assistance of several intermediaries.
Andrew Jackson, who had been elected President of the United States in 1828 and again in 1832, appointed Call territorial governor of Florida in March 1836, elevating him to the highest political post of his career. Call's first administration was dominated by the difficulties of the Second Seminole War that had begun in 1835. As an increasing number of settlers moved into Florida, they came into conflict with the resident Seminole Indians, who still occupied much of the territory. The federal government struggled to resolve the problem diplomatically, but ultimately tensions broke out into open conflict. The United States Army entered Florida and attempted to pacify and expel the natives, but they refused to go quietly.
The conventionally trained Army and its commanders were ill-equipped to deal with the situation, and months passed with little progress to show for their efforts. Governor Call fumed over the delays in bringing the war to a close. He called the Army's performance disgraceful, and complained that the Navy had done little to stop maritime trade between the Seminoles and foreign powers. Firmly believing that he could do what the regular generals had thus far failed to do, Call wrote directly to President Jackson outlining a plan for victory. In June 1836, the governor got his chance. Secretary of War Lewis Cass informed him that he would have command of the militia and enlisted forces in Florida. It was, of course, an unusual situation for a sitting governor to take the field as commander in such a broad operation, but Call set himself to the task with enthusiasm, calling for supplies and reinforcements from other states as he prepared to march.
For all his confidence, Call's performance as a commander was mixed, and following a series of questionable moves in central Florida, President Jackson and Benjamin F. Butler, Jackson's acting Secretary of War, elected to relieve the governor of his command. Call was hurt by the episode, especially since he believed his friend Jackson had made his decision without having heard all the facts of the case. The two were never as close afterward.
Call's political fortunes also began to sour around this time. Martin Van Buren succeeded Andrew Jackson to the presidency of the United States in 1837, which left Call without one of his most powerful allies in Washington. Furthermore, the governor made something of a nuisance of himself with continued critiques of the federal government's efforts to end the Seminole War in Florida. The changing political landscape of the times played a role as well, as the lines between parties became firmer and Call and Van Buren found themselves on opposites of the developing political spectrum. In 1839, the President appointed Robert Raymond Reid to succeed Call as territorial governor of Florida. Call felt snubbed, but he understood that party politics had been to blame.
Call campaigned on behalf of William Henry Harrison, who succeeded Van Buren to the presidency in 1841, and Harrison promptly restored Call to the territorial governorship of Florida. The problems of Call's second term were mostly economic, as the territory's banks had gotten themselves into serious debt through irresponsible speculation and poor management. Foreign bondholders were putting increasing pressure on the territorial government for some kind of solution. Call worked with the legislature to hammer out a way of resolving these debts without bankrupting the government or tarnishing the credit of the territory. As the end of Call's term approached, he began hearing rumors that President John Tyler would not reappoint him. These reports turned out to be true, and in August 1844 John Branch succeeded him as territorial governor.
Meanwhile, Florida's territorial delegate David Levy and his political allies had convinced Congress to elevate Florida to statehood. On March 3, 1845, Florida became the 27th state in the Union, necessitating an election for a new state governor and legislature. Call had already determined not to run for the office of governor, but a group of petitioners urged him to stand for election, and he did. The Democratic party, whose national leaders had been at odds with Call for some time, held the political high ground in Florida at the time, and Call was defeated in favor of William Dunn Moseley, who took office June 25, 1845.
Relieved of political office, Call turned his attention to his law practice and the cultivation of his land. By this time he had purchased a second plantation, Orchard Pond, located north of Tallahassee, where he began conducting agricultural experiments in order to find an alternative to hemp fiber that could be raised in Florida. One of his most promising leads came from a species of yucca called "bear grass," which he promoted.
Call's final major contribution to Florida politics occurred in connection with the secession crisis that preceded the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War. In the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, Democrats across the South began gathering in state conventions to discuss the possibility of leaving the Union rather than stay and face the chance that slavery might be undermined. Call, while a staunchly conservative slaveowner, considered secession a dangerous path for Florida to take. Although he was not selected to represent Leon County in Florida's secession convention, he took to the press with an appeal calling for calm and cautious action rather than a hasty or rash response to the national situation. Call's suggestion went unheeded, and the convention voted on January 10, 1861 for Florida to secede from the United States. Ellen Call Long wrote in her book Florida Breezes that upon being told by some of the delegates what they had done, Governor Call raised his cane above his head and said, "And what have you done? You have opened the gates of hell, from which shall flow the curses of the damned, which shall sink you to perdition."
Governor Call died September 14, 1862 at The Grove, his first plantation, located in Tallahassee. This house, later owned by Governor LeRoy Collins and his wife Mary Call Collins, a descendant of Governor Call, is now owned by the State of Florida and operated by the Division of Historical Resources in the Florida Department of State. Once opened to the public in fall 2014, The Grove will feature educational exhibits on all three of its meticulously restored floors, as well as the surrounding grounds.
In addition to the topics discussed here, Governor Call's papers contain a number of materials relating to his eldest daughter, Ellen Call Long, who was an avid writer and historian of Florida, as well as other members of his family. Click here to access the full collection.

Important Changes for 2014-2015
Baggage Allowance to the Ice
The baggage allowance on the Ice flight between Christchurch and McMurdo is reduced to 85 pounds (34kg).
The LC-130 fleet will be the primary intercontinental aircraft for most of the 2014/2015 McMurdo/ South Pole season. Because of the cargo limitations of the LC-130, all passengers are restricted to 85 pounds of personal baggage for all flights into or out of Christchurch. Additionally, all passengers are limited to 15 pounds of hand carry luggage that must fit into a standard airline sizing box. Passengers will be weighed wearing their ECW. ECW weight is part of passenger weight.
Commercial allowance remains two bags up to 50 pounds each, plus carry on.

Ridley Scott, Cormac McCarthy Team Up for 'The Counselor' Trailer
You could call this "Lawyers, Guns and Money: The Movie," and you wouldn't be too far off.
"The Counselor," directed by Ridley Scott ("Gladiator," "Alien") and written by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy ("The Road," "Blood Meridian"), is about a lawyer (Michael Fassbender) who gets too involved with the seedy, sexy and violent world of drug trafficking.
It's McCarthy's first original screenplay to be turned into a feature film.
The film, which opens in the thick of Oscar hype season on Oct. 25, has a star-heavy cast including Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and Cruz's husband, Javier Bardem, who won an Oscar for the adaptation of McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men."
Reportedly, Ridley Scott dedicated the film to the memory of his late brother and fellow director, Tony Scott, who took his own life last year. It appears to be a perfectly fitting tribute, as the subject matter looks like something Tony would have taken on.
Watch the trailer.

WFAN sports radio host Mike Francesa tore into the Sunday Night Football theme song on his radio show, saying it is "the dumbest song ever created."
The theme song, Waiting All Day for Sunday Night, is performed by Carrie Underwood, who took over theme-song duties from Faith Hill this year. It should be mentioned that this is the introduction song, not the famous SNF instrumental theme penned by John Williams (which our own Chris Chase ranked as his No. 3 sports theme song ever).
What particularly rubbed Francesa the wrong way are the lyrics that imply the viewers of the show have been "waiting all day for Sunday night."
"No one waits all day," he said. "They watch football all day! They waited all day for Sunday night … no one waited one minute for Sunday night! They watched football all darn day."
He's right. He's absolutely right. That's a good job by you, Mike! Good job by you!

Garden or a Pond?
If you want a garden or a pond that looks like it belong in fairy tales, install pond fountains to create that eye catching drama. With the right people and the right idea, you can definitely have a garden or pond that will be the stuff of fairy tales.
Installing pond fountains is really not that difficult
There are kits that are available that will help you get started. The kits are widely and easily available ensuring you that you have the basic tools and supplies that you will need.
Once you locate the place where you want the pond fountain to be installed, you need to measure the depth that would be required. You need to have the cords and hoses to run through the basin to attach the pump to the fountain. You can place the whole set up where you want, though make sure that everything is installed correctly.You can do this yourself or have people install it for you if you are not really the DIY type.
Going with the flow of saving the environment, there are solar powered pond fountains that are available in market. You can join the movement of going green, thus eliminating the need for electrical wiring and added on expense to the electric bill and at the same time you are helping to save the environment. You get the beauty that you want will less expense.
As for maintenance, if there is a basin, make sure that you have these cleaned out regularly so that algae do not form there. You can turn of your fountain while cleaning so this will not be a big hassle for you. Again, if you are not the DIY type, you can have regular crew look into the maintenance of your pond fountains to make sure that it's clean and functioning properly.

Why Is SEO Important
What is SEO?
SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is basically the work carried out to make sure that a website can be found in search engines for key phrases and words that are specifically related to the product or services offered by that website
Website Traffic
The majority of web traffic is driven by the major commercial search engines, Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Everyone is always striving to have their website appear on the first page of google
Although social media and other types of traffic can generate visits to your website and any web page search engines are the main method of navigating the internet for most users.
This is true whether your site provides content, services, products, information, or just about anything else.
What are SEO Keywords?
SEO keywords from single words to complicated phrases are used in website text in order to attract relevant, organic search traffic.
Keyword integration is just the beginning of the process, targeted SEO keywords can also use to influence and prompt all web page content in order to attract Google search results
Simply put keywords are the terms typed or spoken into a search engine.
Keyword research is very important as when effectively researched and optimized, keywords act as a channel for people to find content on your website.
Search Engines
Search engines are unique in that they provide targeted traffic for people looking for what you offer.
Search engines make this happen.
If search engines cannot find your site, or add your content to their databases, your website will miss out on incredible opportunities to drive traffic to your site.
Search queries—the words that users type into the search box are very important.
Search engine traffic can make or break an organisation's success. Targeted traffic to a website can provide publicity, revenue, and exposure like no other channel of marketing. Investing in SEO can have an exceptional rate of return compared to other types of marketing and promotion.
Why Cant Search Engines Figure out my site without SEO?
Search engines are smart, but they still need help. The major engines are always working to improve their technology to crawl the web more deeply and return better results to users.
However, there is a limit to how search engines can operate. Whereas the right and successful SEO can net you thousands of visitors and increased attention, the wrong moves can hide or bury your site deep in the search results where visibility is minimal.
In addition to making content available to search engines, successful SEO also helps boost rankings so that content will be placed where searchers will more readily find it.

The °Climate Group has expanded its weekly Greenhouse Indicator to the Australian State of Queensland. The Weekly Greenhouse Indicator was first launched in Victoria in January 2007, followed with one for New South Wales. It provides real-time information on the greenhouse gas emissions produced from coal-fired electricity, natural gas-fired electricity and petroleum every week.
Queensland's Greenhouse Indicator accounts for about 75 per cent of the State's total energy emissions and 50 per cent of its total greenhouse gas emissions. Remaining emissions come from agriculture, land use, waste, industrial processes, electricity generated on-site by industry and fugitive emissions from coal mining. Greenhouse gas emissions in Queensland not included by the Indicator are estimated to be on average 1.6 million tonnes per week.
Queensland's Sustainability Minister Andrew McNamara welcomed the introduction of the Greenhouse Indicator. "It's a simple format that puts climate change front of mind, where it must be. More importantly, it's a constant reminder to every one of us that we can make a difference."
The °Climate Group's Australian Director, Rupert Posner, said the initiative was designed to assist people in understanding the issue and to help track greenhouse gas emissions.
"Each and every week we release greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere but because they can't be seen it is difficult to understand how much is being produced.
"This initiative puts a figure on what is happening and enables everyone to follow how much we are emitting each week," he said.
"The people of Queensland can then make decisions about their energy use that will immediately decrease the weekly figure, like buying green electricity or using less energy at home and work.
"Here in Australia, as in other countries, the Australian Government releases an annual report. But that comes out a couple of years after the emissions. This information, while comprehensive and critical for policy planning and scientific assessment, is too slow for us to respond to in the manner that is necessary to tackle this problem."
The °Climate Group would like to thank the Purves Environmental Fund for providing funding to enable this project to occur.

One person has been taken to hospital after a five-car pile-up in Lurgan this morning.
The incident happened on the Portadown Road between the Gilpinstown Road junction and Roundabout one near Pinebank and the Eastway.
The road had been closed to traffic for some time while the emergency services dealt with the incident. The road is now passable with care, say the PSNI.
A Northern Ireland Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "The NI Ambulance Service was called at 08:47 this morning following reports of a five car RTC on the Portadown Road, Lurgan.
"A Paramedic Officer and two Accident and Emergency crews were dispatched to the incident.
"Following assessment and treatment at the scene by paramedics, one patient was transported to Craigavon Area Hospital.
Firefighters also attended the crash.
A spokesperson for the NI Fire and Rescue Service said: "A female casualty was out of a vehicle on arrival of firefighters and was taken to hospital. Firefighters rescued another female casualty and she was taken to hospital by ambulance and another male casualty made his own way to hospital. The incident was dealt with at 9.23am."
The PSNI said: "Diversions on the Portadown Road, Lurgan have been lifted. The road is now passable, however motorists should exercise extreme care when using this road."
Police are requesting that drivers take an alternative route in and out of Lurgan.
The incident happened around 8.45am with staff from the nearby Eurospar helping to redirect traffic along the Gilpinstown Road.

With Stampede around the corner, I need a new outfit and the prospect of saving 1.64$ on it is too much to pass up!
The federal government does not possess a monopoly in foreign affairs but it is appropriate for it to coordinate Canada's external presence to work together with provinces to ensure that Canada speaks with one voice, even if the voice that speaks for Canada comes from a province.Browsing through Ignatieff's speeches, you can also find countless references to decentralization and of staying out of provincial jurisdictions.
Tories may have taken $2M in illicit donations
Updated Wed. Jun. 28 2006
Canadian Press
OTTAWA -- The Conservative party may have illegally accepted millions in unreported donations last year because it didn't understand political financing laws.
That's the startling conclusion drawn from testimony given to a Senate committee by the Harper administration's point man on cleaning up government.
Treasury Board President John Baird has told the committee that his party did not consider fees paid to attend its March 2005 policy convention to be political contributions.
But the Elections Act stipulates that convention fees do constitute a donation.
The Tories' 2005 convention was attended by about 2,900 party members, who paid a regular fee of $600 each, although discounts were available for some.
That means the party stood to rake in as much as $1.7 million, all or some of which should have been reported to Elections Canada as donations.
-Various Arrested Development characters
Age: 64
Background: Hedy was born in Trinidad & Tobago. However, I have been unable to confirm anywhere whether or not she is a Trinidadian or a Tobagan. Like Carolyn Bennett, she has a medical background.
Political History: As she is so fond of reminding everyone, Hedy defeated Prime Minister Kim Campbell in 1993, in Vancouver Centre. Of course, given the campaign Kim Campbell ran that year, this was really more a case of her finding the corpse than actually slaying the giant. In 1996, Hedy was named Secretary of State for multiculturalism and the status of women. Last election, she prevented Svend Rovbinson from stealing her seat. And, yeah, there was the cross burning incident.
Not at all interesting or relevant fact which I include only because I can't think of anything else to write about Hedy Fry: Hedy shares a birthday with Geri Halliwell.
Rejected Campaign Slogan: "Catch Fire With Hedy Fry!"
Rejected Campaign Launch Location: Prince George
Pros: Female, visible minority, from the West. Over a decade of elected experience as a Liberal.
Cons: She certainly isn't a french Fry, to put it mildly. Is rarely taken seriously. Oldest candidate in the field.
My Take: I do think the cross burning incident got blown a bit out of proportion, but Hedy does have a reputation for making controversial and ill-advised comments. It's a shame too, since having a strong visible minority female from Western Canada in this race would be a big plus for the Liberal Party.
Chances: Stranger things have happened. None come to mind right now, but I'm sure in the history of mankind, there may be an instance of a bigger upset win than this one.
I think you've got to take his statements over time. He supported the war in Iraq. He described the war in Iraq as an extension of the duty to protect and he said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So neither of those I think pass muster.
And I think that's the context in which we have to face a lot of the debate and arguments since that time.
"I've always been against it. I will have other ways to get there."
[Dion] said he does not understand Mr. Ignatieff's comments. After speculating on imposing a carbon tax, Mr. Ignatieff added he would not want to hit any part of the country harder than another.
"The first sentence he said is we need to protect Alberta. And in the second sentence he said carbon tax," Mr. Dion said in an interview.
Another leadership contender, former Ontario education minister Gerard Kennedy, said there are better ways to get the resource sector to reduce pollution, including incentives, possibly some trading of emissions credits as part of a transition to a cleaner industry, and incentives to encourage
consumers to choose newer, greener technologies.
"I think a carbon tax is the clumsiest of the options that we've got so far, and therefore it's not part of my plan," Mr. Kennedy said. And he raised concerns that a carbon tax will divide Canada along regional lines.
"I lived in Alberta when the national energy plan came in, and fairly or not, people associated that with an undermining of the energy sector.
OTTAWA — Canada should impose a tax on gas-guzzling SUVs and cut the GST on hybrid vehicles to help meet its Kyoto commitments, says Liberal leadership candidate Gerard Kennedy.
Kennedy said Thursday that those two measures would yield a ``much more practical" reduction in greenhouse gas emissions than the carbon tax floated by leadership frontrunner Michael Ignatieff.
13, 2006
TORONTO - It is with great pleasure that I officially announce today my support for the candidacy of Mr. Gerard Kennedy for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. Over the past years, we have had the opportunity to work together to improve the French language education system in Ontario, both at the policy and financing levels. We put in place a new Policy on French Language Development to strengthen French-language education in the province, thereby giving young people fuller access to French language and culture, allowing them to realize their full potential at school and in society and helping to enhance the vitality of the Franco-Ontarian community.
The improvement in the results of Francophone students in reading, writing and math is tangible proof of Mr. Kennedy's commitment to Franco-Ontarian youth.
Gerard Kennedy is a great defender of the rights of minorities. He has an extraordinary capacity to rally people around a cause and to focus everyone's energies on the goal of improving service to citizens.
I am certain that Mr. Kennedy will continue his efforts to protect and promote French language and culture in Canada. His visionary qualities and personal courage have guided him in his decisions, for the well-being of all Ontarians. He is an exceptional leader who is strongly committed to improving
people's quality of life. That is why I am backing Mr. Kennedy for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada.
A carbon tax would disproportionately hurt the Alberta and Saskatchewan economies, Brison said. But a more broadly based tax, perhaps applied to hydro and other forms of energy as well, wouldn't increase the overall tax burden on Canadians, he said.
Brison said investment tax credits could foster research into clean energy and its development and commercialization. Tax breaks could also be given for environmentally friendly purchases, such as hybrid vehicles.
Ignatieff told the Herald he'd never propose levies that increase the overall tax burden on any industry or pit one region of Canada against another. Rather, the system might be shifted toward "taxing polluting behaviour and rewarding environmental behaviour," he said.
"Energy policy and environment policy are national unity issues," said the Toronto MP and former Harvard University professor. "You can't be discriminatory against a province. You can't be discriminatory against an industry."
In Ottawa, Prime Minister Stephen Harper seized on Ignatieff's weekend comments, suggesting during question period the leadership hopeful was referring to some form of "new National Energy Program."
Kennedy told the Herald editorial board he wants to see a blended environmental and energy policy, but warned it could cause "some pain" for individual consumers.
The government should reaffirm its targets under Kyoto or any future climate change treaties, said the former Ontario cabinet minister.
"The government's role is to put its foot down," Kennedy said. "The government's role is not to roll over and create confusion the way the Harper government has."
However, Kennedy said he'd rather promote new environmental strategies and technologies than impose a "crude" carbon tax.
"I would worry that anyone would see a carbon tax as just another National Energy (Program)
kind of approach."
Edmonton -- An infamous piece of Alberta's political history is being put on the auction block.
The Alberta Liberal Party has announced plans to sell on eBay the copy of their health-policy booklet that Progressive Conservative Premier Ralph Klein hurled at a 17-year-old legislative page earlier this year.
The 63-year-old Premier later apologized for the outburst, which garnered national attention
Seoul — In times of political hardship, which occur often these days for South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, the embattled politician takes inspiration from the boy from Baie-Comeau. The President consoled officials in his ruling Uri party last week after crushing defeats in local elections by citing the example of Brian Mulroney.
Like the former Canadian prime minister, Mr. Roh is pushing for a new goods and services tax in his own country, despite opposition from most residents and his political rivals.
Mr. Roh praised Mr. Mulroney as the man who saved Canada with the GST. According to JoongAng Daily, Mr. Roh paid tribute to Mr. Mulroney during a meeting with government officials after his party won only one of 16 races for mayoral and governor seats.
The article, featuring a prominent photo of Mr. Mulroney, is followed a few pages later by a scathing editorial with the former Canadian prime minister as a cartoon character.
"Mr. Roh seems to think of Mr. Mulroney whenever he meets a crisis," Lee Chul-ho wrote. "Why does the President choose wicked people as role models?"
The Liberals say the Mounties should look at a lawsuit filed against Rob Anders by James Istvanffy, who alleges he was fired from his job as manager of the Calgary West constituency office after questioning the way Anders handled his finances.
In a statement of claim filed in Calgary Court of Queen's Bench, Istvanffy alleges Anders borrowed from him thousands of dollars for expenses that the House of Commons would not cover.
Istvanffy alleges Anders then used salary increases, false travel expenses and even bookshelves purchased for his office to pay him back.
The Liberal Party leadership race has been a pretty uninspired affair so far. No candidate has yet to position himself/herself as the favorite, and the leading candidates haven't distinguished themselves anymore than as "that guy who taught at Harvard".
Out of this pack of mostly middle-aged white men comes an original immigration-based platform from Gerard Kennedy. While a middle-aged white man himself, Kennedy is distinguishing his campaign by positioning himself as an advocate for current and future immigrants to Canada. In fact, part of Kennedy's Immigrant Success Platform calls for the creation of an immigration advocate position within the federal government.
Kennedy seems to have grasped the economic and cultural importance of continued immigration to Canada, and our need to better integrate immigrant populations into society at large. This includes working with the private sector to better recognize foreign credentials and reduce immigration income-gaps, and reworking the points-based immigration system to attract more diverse skilled workers that are currently shut out.

The vast majority of Virginia's waterfalls are products of mountain streams – mountain streams that are carrying a great deal of water after a good, soaking rain. At the time of this writing, the conditions are perfect for lacing up your hiking boots, grabbing your camera and experiencing a waterfall with someone you love.
We've given you waterfall ideas before – those that are beautiful with fall foliage, those that shimmer in winter, and those that are paired up with fantastic hikes. Today we give you even more. Plot them out and head for the hills after a good rain.
Upper Doyle Falls
Shenandoah National Park has quite a few waterfalls and most are showing off right now. You'll find several mentioned in the links above, but here are five more we haven't previously mentioned.
1. Rose River Falls is accessed from MP 49.4 on Skyline Drive. The Rose River Loop Trail is 2.6 miles round trip, but the jewel that awaits is a cascade that has the potential to grow to four cascades with the recent rainfall. MAP
2. Jones Run Falls can be accessed from MP 84.1. Take Jones Run Trail, a 3.4-mile roundtrip hike, to the 42-foot cascading Jones Run Falls. It's a serene setting with flat rocks for a time-out. MAP
3. Cedar Run Falls is actually two separate cascades that are accessed from MP 45.5 at Hawksbill Gap Parking. Make it an out-and-back hike if you're less than enthused about the 8.2-mile strenuous circuit. If a strenuous workout excites you, you'll be rewarded with the very popular series of falls in Whiteoak Canyon. MAP
4. Lewis Falls is 2.2 miles from the parking lot at MP 51.4. The trail can be considered difficult with a stream crossing and rocky, steep areas, but it leads to an observation point and an 81-foot-high waterfall. MAP
5. Doyles River Falls are two cascades (28′ and 63′) along the Doyles River Trail. Park at MP 81.1 and look for the blue-blazed, moderately difficult trail. It's 3.2 miles out-and-back to the lower falls (63′) or 2.7 miles for the upper (28′). MAP

Fallingwater Cascades Hiking Trail
The Blue Ridge Parkway has its share of waterfalls. Try these two in Virginia.
1. Apple Orchard Falls is accessed from MP 78.4 at Sunset Fields Overlook, just north of Peaks of Otter. The trail is considered strenuous at a steep 1.4 miles downhill hike (uphill on the way back!), but the 200′ falls are calling …
2. Fallingwater Cascades can be accessed from MP 83.1 and is a moderate 1.6-mile out-and-back trail. It's also designated a National Recreation Trail – a designation given to existing trails that contribute to health, conservation, and recreation goals in the United States.
A hike for waterfalls is a perfect getaway. Be safe on slippery surfaces, wear sturdy shoes and bring your bug spray.
