Stan and I had the privilege of going to see the last day of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. They had several days planned of re-enactments and seminar speakers. Being during one of the hottest months of the year we decided to just do the last day when they had a cavalry battle re-enactment complete with horses and a re-enactment of Pickett's Charge. We were so excited to see this and it was estimated that it would be the largest Civil War re-enactment event of all time. It was expected that there would be 8,000-12,000 re-enacters complete with weapons, cannons, horses, etc. Re-enactors do this at their own expense as their hobby. It costs a fortune to outfit yourself and your family (that's right, wives and children can also join in) in history perfect outfits and camping gear, not to mention the military accoutrements, weapons, horse tack, etc. Re-enacting groups determine how far they will go to be period perfect. For instance, underwear, glasses, hairstyles, plastic bags, etc. How far do you go to try and mimic the experiences of the period? It's fascinating. Some are very strict. As local groups they decide their own rules. Some 20 years ago we went with my Mom, Dad, Aunt Judy, Elaine, Ronnie, Jenny, Luke and Lee for a wonderful trip. One of our stops was Gettysburg and it was a very moving experience. When we heard about the 150th anniversary that was planned we determined that we had to be there. We will be dead for the 200th anniversary!
We got there late morning just in time to walk in, go up into the grand stands (you had to pay extra for grandstand seats) and see the cavalry battle. I would think 100 horses more or less were involved between the two sides. It had to have been quite difficult for re-enactors to travel in with their horses. The cost of the hobby of horseback riding has become very expensive. You not only purchase the horse and tack but you have to feed, maintain and vet said horses. Then you have to have land, barn and fencing. And you have to purchase truck and horse trailer and gas is so expensive now. A big truck drinks gas especially pulling a trailer full of horses. But enough did so that the rest of us could have the thrill of seeing a little of what it was like.
It was a very hot day with temps at 93-94 degrees Fahrenheit. There was evidently only one way in and one way out. You were not allowed to bring in coolers and large bags for our own protection but this meant we couldn't bring in any food or picnic. It was a long trek back to the cow pasture where we parked and a hot car is not conducive to eating. And, for some reason, they only had 2 or 3 food tents selling hot dogs and sandwiches. Considering there were tens of thousands of people there this was NOT enough. Drinks were hard to get so I got dehydrated and hot. The re-enactor's camps were very far apart. We wanted to walk through them and see their tents. It was a mistake to try to go to both camps as they were too far apart and walking in the heat was a mistake. Then we walked back to the car because there just wasn't any place to sit to wait for Pickett's Charge. So that added to the walking in the heat. We turned the car on and sat in the air conditioning for an hour.
Clouds had begun to accumulate by 3:00pm when the grand finale began. We got in line to get back into the grandstands. They had oversold the grandstands and the line was almost out to the parking lot. These grandstands were scaffolds at least 50' in the air. Once we got in and got our seats, I made the mistake of going back down to go to the bathroom. This put me back in line to get back into the grandstands. I was afraid I wouldn't make it but I did. By then I had been hot, walked too much, climbed those steps twice, was surrounded by too many people and too high up (I have a fear of heights) so I ended up having a panic attack. Fortunately it was mild and Stan kept me together.
At 3:00pm the two sides started bombarding each other with cannon. We got to see an artillery barrage for 30 mins! It was exciting. Then the Southern line began to cross the field in Pickett's Charge. Lee had tried to soften the Yankee line with hours of bombardment but little did he realize that there were still too many Yankees left so that it would make for a massacre of the Rebels.
The re-enactors did a great job even to the Rebel yells. Meanwhile the storm kept coming and we could see it in the distance. As soon as the charge was over, everyone jumped up to get out of those metal stands as quickly as possible. It was orderly but still a rush. Stan and I went straight to the car and as soon as we got in, the bottom dropped out and it rained hard for 3 hrs. We were all stuck in a muddy cow pasture for 3 hours. It wasn't until the rain let up that the volunteers got out and started to direct cars out.
I'm thankful for the experience and I greatly appreciate the re-enactors who made it possible. I appreciate the hard work that was done but it could and should have been better. As for someone who is disabled with fibromyalgia and hypoglycemia, it was a hard day. Not enough food tents to buy food, couldn't bring in food, dehydration because it's hard to get drinks, the walking. We had assumed, since you couldn't bring in coolers and back packs that there would be food tents that you could purchase from. There were only 3 with 3 extra tents for selling water, lemonade and sarsparillo. That was simply not enough. Parking was so far away that going back and forth to the car was difficult for me. The parking was a nightmare. I just really think the logistics for the spectators might could have been better.
I should have taken a picnic with plenty of fluids and ice and left it in the car. I should have only visited one of the re-enactment camps and not tried to walk to the other one. That time and energy then could have been spent sitting in the air conditioned car and eating a picnic. We would have just had to run the car for a couple of hours but at least it was a comfortable place to sit, eat and cool down, nap. There was no such place inside the grounds!!! They had a couple of shade tents but they were so full of people that they ended up being hotter than the open air and were too crowded to find a seat in.
But, again, I'm glad I didn't miss it. It was an experience. Here are the photos that I took.
I loved seeing the smoke rings from the cannons.
The start of Pickett's Charge
I thought I would share bits and pieces of my life. I am a lifelong Christian. I have been married for over 39 years to Stan. No children. We have 3 Italian Greyhounds named Persephone, Dresden and Capodimonte and a calico cat named Binky. We have 9 nieces/nephews and 7 grandnieces/nephews whom we love. My hobbies are genealogy, reading, digital scrapbooking, history, dogs, homemaking.

The lyrics make reference to a sad situation on the part of the narrator. It would seem that he's poor, hungry, and disappointed. And between the image of the jailor in his own cell and the snowball in hell, one definitely gets the impression that the guy feels hopeless about life.
But this is the part that really screws you up: The song does not sound much different than any other They Might Be Giants song. That is to say, it sounds a little whimsical, and the instrumentation is...unique. Plus, they stick in a snippet from some random motivational tape John Flansburgh was given. It definitely sounds low-key for TMBG, but by no means sad. Of course, many of TMBG's songs sound happy but are about breakups and the like, but Snowball in Hell has a desperation about it that's all its own. It would have made the perfect closer for the album Lincoln, but they stuck Kiss Me, Son of God after it. It's a travesty.

Men should be aware of their testosterone levels as this can affect several functions and characteristics of the body. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for the "male characteristics" of a person which are excreted by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus and produced by the testes. Furthermore, it is important to know that testosterone levels may be influenced by several factors such as aging, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.
Studies conducted by the Endocrine Society revealed that low testosterone may also be a result of a renal and lung disease, infertility and osteoporosis. Some studies also found that low testosterone level is also linked to some sexual dysfunctions like decrease in sex drive, stamina and libido. There are several ways to address low testosterone, and one of them is by using Androgel 1.62%.
Androgel Overview
Androgel 1.62% is a gel-based formula designed for males who have low or no testosterone. As a Testosterone Replacement Therapy or TRT, it aims to bring back males' T level. T level is the normal level of testosterone among males. By using Androgel 1.62% daily and properly, it is expected that its users will benefit from several health improvements as well as address issues on sexual health.
Androgel Precautions and Side Effects
Before using Androgel 1.62%, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor and undergo several tests to assess testosterone level. There are two tests for testosterone levels: one is to measure the "total" testosterone in the body. On the other hand, the "free" testosterone test refers to the level of testosterone in the bloodstream. These two tests can help determine if you indeed have low testosterone, while other tests may be performed to rule out other factors or conditions.
This is used by using a pump that's designed to release a prescribe amount of gel per use. The formulation must be used on the upper arm and shoulders only, and not on the other parts of the body. It should also be applied the same time every morning, after taking a bath and with dry skin. Once dry, the skin with the applied gel should be covered with clothing. Lastly, only your doctor is allowed to change the amount of gel you should apply. Do not alter your dosage without consulting your doctor first.
Furthermore, users who are interested in using this product are advised of the following:
- It can be transferred to other people by rubbing the area applied with the gel. Androgel 1.62% users should be careful regarding contact with children and women as they may have an effect on them. If this situation occurs, women and children are advised to wash the area with soap and water immediately.
- You should also stop using the formulation and talk to your doctor when you notice changes such as having acne, changes in body hair and symptoms of puberty.
- Side effects are also expected when using this product like skin irritation in the applied area, increase in blood pressure, mood swings and increase in prostate specific antigen.
As a prescription drug, it is important to use this product with care to avoid any untoward incidents and achieve optimum benefits.

Attending my local Writing Project's Invitational Leadership Institute in the Teaching of Writing has given me confidence not only in my own writing, but also in my ability to give my students the skills they need. Before becoming involved with the Writing Project, I second-guessed myself constantly about how I should approach writing with my students. I also found myself only doing a couple of writing projects a year with my class. Writing felt like a chore with my students. No one was having any fun, including me. Now my students write everyday. Writing is tied across the curriculum in all aspects and is used as a source of assessment in content areas. Writing has become a fun activity in class, especially with students being allowed to use digital tools to publish their work.
The Writing Project has made me a more creative writer. I find myself enjoying the task of writing and looking forward to writing examples for my students. UCMWP has made me realize that we all have things to offer within our writing, and I shouldn't get stuck on achieving perfect technique. I find it easier now to sit down and just let the writing flow.
I have discovered I have a lot to offer other teachers when it comes to mixing writing, technology, and content across the curriculum. The Writing Project has encouraged me as a Teacher Consultant to go out and share my knowledge and experience within the classroom. I have started presenting at different conferences across California. I enjoy sharing how I utilize what I learned in the Writing Project and how technology can be incorporated with it.
I now believe it is important to write everyday. It doesn't always have to be tied to a specific purpose, but can be a means of reflection and relaxation. That with daily practice, the thoughts from pen to paper, or from fingers to keyboard, writing becomes easier. Each time I write I discover something new about myself. I try to stress to my students that writing is never finished. We always have room for improvement and inspiration can come from anywhere.
I would highly recommend reading Teaching in the Connected Learning Classroom. I would also suggest reading anything written by Lucy Calkins. I enjoyed her book The Art of Teaching Writing immensely. She provides inspiration and great ideas for the classroom. I feel it is important to take time to read and learn from others.

Fave Jim picsI didn't know that they fall out...I thought their there 4ever.
I wonder how expensive it is..Can you do a few at a time?
I don't know what that would be in...Canadian or US funds
WowowowowowowowoThose are some very expensive pearly whites.
I wonder why they don't last longer? Especially for that kind of money. I wonder what it costs in Mexico?
Finally read the post....Breast implants
what happens when they start to go? One is more lopsided than the other? No thanks, I'll stick with au natural, less is best. I guess with the teeth though it's probably better to get put out all at once then it's a one time recovery time. But the $ would sure hurt. I feel sorry for what the stars do to look in tip top shape. Do they have a calendar for when the stuff starts to go? Do they make pre-appointments for their replacements... eg. 2009 Get R Breast redone 2011 get back molar redone Replace hair 2015, sounds like their all walking replacements. 20 years from now we'll wonder who is real and who is not.
Has Jane ever been in a movie?I saw a movie recently and the lead actress reminded me of Jane.
Does she act also, I know she sings, has she ever had a part in any movies lately?

Debian Looking to Vote More Quickly and Talk More
The Debian project secretariat can call Debian developers to vote via Article 5.2 of the Debian Constitution. The aim is to shorten the Project Leader election and to become more communicative.
The election procedure for the new Debian Project Leader (DPL) will start six weeks before the previous leader's period of office is due to end, and not nine weeks beforehand as previously. The nomination phase will just be the first week of the election period, rather than the first three. Following this, just two weeks will be allowed for canvassing instead of three. Project members will be voting on the change to the constitution between September 23 and October 6.
The draft also describes the election activities of the candidates in slightly more detail. For example, candidate will no longer be allowed to nominate themselves, but will be required to submit their plans for their potential period of office.
The Debian project drafted its first constitution late in 1998 – and assigned a version number of 1.0. The current constitution, v1.3, dates back to September 2006.
