D-----Here's a tip if you missed the deadline for taking a payout from a plan or IRA: Ask for a penalty waiver. Failure to take a required minimum distribution can lead to a stiff penalty of 50% of the shortfall. But you needn't pay the fine if you can show you had reasonable cause for the goof, such as serious illness or bad advice from a bank, and you've taken steps to withdraw the amount. If you believe you are on solid ground, follow the instructions on IRS Form 5329 and attach a letter of explanation. The fine will be due only if IRS denies relief.

By: Kay Christopher Cry Babies Having Babies
When I was young, a woman had a baby without all this wimpy technology and medical advances they have now. A woman got married and she and her husband planned a baby. It wasn’t like it is now, where the girl ends up pregnant and the dad doesn’t even care enough about them to marry them. And what gags me is that he’s usually referred to as “the fiancée”. Honey, if he ain’t married you by the time the baby is born, chances are, he’s not going to. Then during the pregnancy, the mama gets to choose when she wants to have the baby. How convenient to be able to sit down with a calendar and work around vacations, holidays, and other events. And talk about the pain of childbearing! These female whiners don’t even feel pain anymore. They are connected to a monitor that controls their pain to make it feel like a little pressure going on down there, or they are given a shot to make them feel nothing. Where is all the screaming and cursing that women used to do when their pain was literally unbearable? Then, here comes the “delivery”. She’s laying in a hospital bed, with a room full of relatives seeing her most private parts, watching the baby being born. Gross! After the baby is hurriedly born, it is immediately handed off to the dad or other family members who are impatiently waiting to pass it around to each other. Talk about unsanitary. I think we should go back to the days when a woman got married, got pregnant, went to the hospital, when the baby decided its ready to be born, and at least share in the discomfort of feeling your baby coming into this world. Childbearing is not what it used to be, and women nowadays will never be as tough as they were in the old days either.
Fahrenheit to Celsius, Why It is so complicated?
Subtract 32, multiply by five and then divide by nine. For example, to convert 77 degrees Fahrenheit, first subtract 32 from 77 to equal 45. Then multiply 45 by five to equal 225. Then divide 225 by nine to equal 25 degrees Celsius.

GERDAU SCHOLARSHIP WINNER INSPIRED TO STUDY NURSING AFTER ACCIDENT When Maleah Hipsher was a freshmen in high school, her brother, Tyler, was rushed to the hospital after the car he was working on fell on top of him. She watched the nurses rushing around him, working to save his life. That’s when Hipsher knew she wanted to be a nurse. “They were willing to do whatever it took,” Hipsher said. Now a senior at Tennessee Technological University, in Cookeville, Hipsher is studying to become a nurse. This year, she applied for one of 15 highly coveted Gerdau scholarships. Her father, Roger Hipsher, works in Knoxville at Gerdau, a steel manufacturer. The scholarship is open to children of Gerdau North America employees and is worth $2,500 per year for up to four years. Part of the selection process includes writing an essay on an inspirational figure in an applicant’s life. Hipsher played softball at Roane State Community College for two years before she earned her associate’s degree and transferred to Tennessee Tech. She chose to write about her former softball coach at Roane State, Jessie Hackworth. “She was helping people any way she could,” Hipsher said. “She was there for us no matter what time of day. She didn’t care if we played ball after we graduated; she just cared if we were happy.” Hackworth’s emphasis on health, hard work and dedication was a driving force for Hipsher to study nursing. “She inspired me to better myself,” Hipsher said. In addition to her essay, Hipsher’s many accolades helped her snag one of the 2017-18 Gerdau scholarships. Hipsher has been on the dean’s list and president’s list; has volunteered at her church’s clothing drive, a local food bank and Greenback High School in the athletic program, and she shadowed a nurse at a children’s hospital; and she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Hipsher is the only winner from Tennessee.

Where To Eat Out
If you need to ask where to eat, start by finding people who themselves love good food and take pride in it. Ask people between 35 and 55 years old for a tip, because they are especially likely to be eating out frequently at good places, and to have a lot of experience with good food. Look for someone who is prosperous or middle class but not necessarily very rich. Ask people who are geographically mobile in their professions and thus accustomed to eating out and collecting information about food. Ask a firefighter for a good, cheap local place; drive to the fire station if you have to. Ask a cabdriver. I have found that regional textbook salespeople—who are traveling and dining out all the time—are a good source of food information. If you ask people for a food tip, and their eyes don’t light up with excitement, ignore them.

Insects and Animals Discourage ants in house. Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda or powdered borax of cloves on shelves and drawers. Bay leaves also helps. Sprinkle black pepper in cracks and crevices. Deter flies. Place cotton wool balls sprinkled with drops of lavender oil on saucers. Basil or mint grown in pots on windowsill. Prevent flying insects. Hang fresh bunch of stinging nettles to front of door. Don't slice your cantaloupe until you've washed the outside. Cutting through a melon can draw in bacteria from the surface, contaminating the inside. Wash the rinds with hot soapy water and then rinse well. The same goes for other melons, like winter squash and pumpkins! Are snails getting to your garden? Sprinkle some white flour around the plants you think are being eaten by the snails and it will get rid of them! Keep squirrels away from garden. Put dog hair in nylon stockings and hang around garden. Sprinkle lose dog hair around plants. If you don't have a dog, go to an animal grooming place and ask to take their hair.

“It’s an incredible feeling that you got selected over so many other applicants – that you stood out from the crowd,” Hipsher said. The Gerdau scholarship program has been going on since 1981 as a way to recognize and encourage academically talented students. The competition was conducted through an independent and impartial third-party administrator, International Scholarship and Tuition Services Inc. ISTS has more than 30 years of experience in managing global scholarship programs. Awards are based on the student’s academic performance (including GPA, types of courses and standardized test results), extracurricular activities, community service, awards and honors, and work experience.

Woodstock...Who's gone and who's still around? (Part 2) JIMI HENDRIX Hendrix was the closing act at Woodstock. His scheduled Sunday night performance didn't happen until mid-morning Monday, long after all but a few thousand of the original crowd of half a million had gone home. He died just over a year later, reportedly choking to death after consuming an excess of wine and sleeping pills. His Woodstock bandmates included bassist Billy Cox, who went on to do solo and session work; Juma Sultan (congas) recorded with a number of jazz artists; and Jerry Velez (percussion) who has collaborated with a variety of artists, and worked as an event producer and music director. Larry Lee (vocals/guitar) died in 2007; Mitch Mitchell (drums) died in 2008. JEFFERSON AIRPLANE Marty Balin (vocals) has remained active in the music business, releasing eight solo albums and performing with the band's successor, Jefferson Starship. Grace Slick (vocals) retired from music in 1988 after a stint with Starship and took up painting and drawing. Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals) stayed close to home, occasionally performing with the Starship until his death in 2016. Jorma Kaukonen (guitar, vocals) and Jack Casady (bass) formed Hot Tuna after their Airplane ride,
and both continue to tour with Tuna. Nicky Hopkins (piano) worked as a solo and session performer until he died in 1994 at age 50 of complications from intestinal surgery. Drummer Spencer Dryden was in and out of music, and died of colon cancer in 2005 at the age of 66. JANIS JOPLIN Like Jimi Hendrix, Joplin lived for just a little over a year after Woodstock. During that time, she was on and off drugs and alcohol. In October 1970 she died of a heroin overdose while in the midst of recording what would become her best selling album, MELANIE (SAFKA) Melanie had recorded just one album prior to Woodstock. Another 33 followed, the most recent, Ever Since You Never Heard of Me, in 2010. She still performs a few concerts a year and continues writing music, including the theme song of the Beauty and the Beast SANTANA Perhaps no other band was launched further faster than Santana after their Woodstock performance. The band has continued, with a wide array of personnel, under the direction of founder and lead guitarist Carlos Santana (with the exception of a brief period in the early '70s when the band played on without him.)

calist Gregg Rolie went on to become one of the original members of Journey in 1973. He continues to perform with his Gregg Rolie Band. Drummer Michael Shrieve, the youngest Woodstock performer at age 20, went on to work with a number of other rock acts. Today he performs in his own band, a jazz fusion group. David Brown (bass) died in 2000 of liver and kidney failure. In 2016, Santana, Shrieve and other surviving members of the original group gave a series of reunion concerts in Las Vegas. JOHN SEBASTIAN Sebastian had left The Lovin' Spoonfulin 1968. He was in the audience enjoying "Country Joe" McDonald's set when a concert staff member recognized him and asked him to play an impromptu set because so many of the scheduled performers were still stuck in traffic jams far from the venue. In 1970 he released the first of a half dozen solo albums. Since the late '70s he has concentrated on writing and performing music for film and television, and instructional videos for guitar students. SHA NA NA Their outfits, hairdos and music were strictly from the '50s, conspicuously out of place even in the eclectic mix of musical styles at Woodstock. In spite of lukewarm reception, they went onto appear in the movie Grease and had their own network TV show from 1977-1982. They released 21 albums (in addition to being on the Woodstock soundtrack.) The band is still active, with two original members, Donny York and Jocko Marcellino, featured.
RAVI SHANKAR The most famous sitar player in the world was invited to Woodstock on the basis of his collaboration with The Beatles (especially George Harrison) and his appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. His music wasn't intentionally psychedelic, but that's how it sounded to audience members high on various illicit substances (which, ironically, Shankar heartily disapproved of.) He had released 16 albums prior to his Woodstock performance, and managed nearly two dozen more up until his death at the age of 92 in 2012. SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE
The band had just broken through with its fourth album and its first hit single ("Everyday People") in the months prior to Woodstock, so they weren't as hungry for exposure as were many of the Woodstock acts. Nonetheless, they gave what is considered one of their best live performances. Things went down hill rapidly in the months following, as Sly Stone became more and more immersed in the drug scene. After the band finally dissolved in 1975, Sly made a few solo albums but his career never regained traction. Sly's brother Freddie wrote and produced music and today is a minister. Sister Rosie worked as a solo and session singer. Sister Vet is now fronting the Sly-sanctioned tribute band, Family Stone. In 2011, Stone released an album made up of versions of the group's standards, I'm Back - Friends & Family. It was not favorably reviewed. SWEETWATER Sweetwater were riding high going into Woodstock. They
had toured with The Doors and opened for Eric Burdon and The Animals. They were early adopters of the psychedelic style eventually popularized by Jefferson Airplane. Just a few months after Woodstock, a car crash left lead singer Nancy Nevins with severe brain and vocal cord injuries that stopped the band in its tracks. Drummer Alan Malarowitz was killed in an auto accident in the early '80s. Albert Moore died of pneumonia in 1994. THE WHO Two of the four original members of the band didn't live to see many Woodstock anniversaries. Drummer Keith Moon died in 1978 of a drug overdose at the age of 32. Bassist John Entwistle died of a cocaine-induced heart attack in 2002 at the age of 57. In the years since, Roger Daltrey (vocals) and Pete Townshend(guitar/vocals) have occasionally toured and recorded with various supporting personnel. Endless Wire, their first new studio album in 24 years, was released in 2006, and supported by occasional tours. JOHNNY WINTER Many (if not most) in the Woodstock audience were hearing Johnny Winter for the first time, but the gritty blues rocker had them standing in the aisles (if there had been aisles) by the end of his set. In the late '70s and early '80s he produced Muddy Waters' last three albums, two of which won Grammy awards. His 18th studio album, Roots was released in 2011. He continued to captivate live audiences, albeit at a slower pace due to health problems in recent years, until his death in 2014 at age 70, while he was on tour in Europe.

Who is the Winner?
Honor Thy Father.....
The father of five children had won a toy at a raffle. He called his kids together to ask which one should have the present. "Who is the most obedient?" he asked. "Who never talks back to mother? and "Who does everything mother says?" 2/21/2017 11:38:56 PM Five smallRehabAd_Final_Print.pdf voices replied in1 unison. "Okay daddy! You get the toy."
Fathers have been one of the most beautiful gifts given to us by God. Their constant presence in our lives makes us feel secure and protected. We can't even imagine losing them and they are as integral to our existence as our beloved mothers are. However, most of us don't express gratitude to them the way we do to our mothers.

For those of us who still use a key and a lock, you might have noticed a tiny hole at the bottom of your lock. The first reason for its existence is to let water drain out of the lock in order to avoid rust or the water freezing. Secondly, it is there to be lubricated by oil so that the lock can keep working well.
Ever wonder why there is a little hole at the end of a tape measure? It is actually designed to hook onto nails and screws to ensure that you can measure safely without having to worry about the tape measure slipping. The serrated edge at the end of the tape measure is designed to leave a mark. If both your hands are occupied using the tape measure to measure something wide (or long) then all you would have to do is press the sharp edge into the wall so that it leaves an indent where you want to work on. there will always be someone who can’t see your worth. don’t let it be you.

Ever carved your initials in a tree? What better symbol of everlasting love? It may be romantic, but carving L-O-V-E spells O-U-C-H for a living tree. Like a cut in your own skin, tree carving creates a gateway for pathogens, says Andrew Land, neighborhood trees specialist with Friends of Trees, a volunteer group that has planted more than 500,000 trees in 25 years in the Portland-Vancouver, Salem and Eugene-Springfield metro areas. "Trees can heal most efficiently from proper pruning cuts made at a branch collar by compartmentalizing, which forms a doughnut-shaped callus over time," he says. "Random cuts in the trunk's bark heal far more slowly, if at all, leaving the tree open to pests and diseases." Girdling -- making a deep cut all the way around the trunk -- is a method of killing unwanted trees. That's because right below the bark are the cells that transport a tree's food and water (the phloem and xylem) and other cells that are responsible for the tree's growth. Slicing through these layers disrupts the flow of water, sugar, and nutrients throughout the tree. In bad cases, the tree can decline or even starve to death. In Portland, carving isn't the only source of bark damage. Botched parallel parking jobs, lawnmowers, and careless weed-wacking injure valuable trees every day. Considering how much good work trees do for people -- cleaning our air, absorbing storm water and beautifying our neighborhoods. We owe it to our trees to keep them from injury.

Peanut Butter is Good For You!
It helps you lose weight Calling peanut butter a diet food, with 180 to 210 calories per serving, may seem counter-intuitive. But it has the enviable combination of fiber and protein that fills you up and keeps you feeling full longer, so you eat less overall. Plus, there's nothing more indulgent than licking peanut butter off a spoon--and indulgence (in moderation) helps dieters fight cravings and stay on track. It's packed with nutrition A serving of peanut butter has 3 mg of the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, 49 mg of bone-building magnesium, 208 mg of muscle-friendly potassium, and 0.17 mg of immunity-boosting vitamin B6. Research shows that eating peanuts can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions. One study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that consuming 1 ounce of nuts or peanut butter (about 2 tablespoons) at least 5 days a week can lower the risk of developing diabetes by almost 30%. It's got the good fat Peanut butter is chock-full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. A recent study found that insulin-resistant adults who ate a diet high in monos had less belly fat than people who ate more carbohydrates or saturated fat. PS: If you're buying reduced-fat peanut butter because you think it's better for your waistline, save your money. The calories are the same (or even a little higher) thanks to the extra ingredients that are added to make up for the missing fat (including more sugar).
There are many dilemmas about invention of glasses. According to some sources the invention of the first wearable pair of eyeglasses occurred in the 13th century in Italy. Salvino D'Armate probably invented eyeglasses in around 1285, though various sources suggest an earlier origin. He shared the invention of his new device with Allesandro della Spina, an Italian monk, who made it public and is often credited with inventing eyeglasses. The first eyeglasses had frames made of metal or bone and had lenses made out of quartz because the ''opticians'' of that time didn't have the capabilities of producing flawless lenses in glass. In the 14th century, Venetian craftsmen were making "disks for the eyes"'. Italians gave these glass disks that were finely ground the name lenses because they were similar in shape to lentil beans. The earliest lenses were convex, they bulged outward in the middle, and they were used to correct far-sightedness. By the fifteenth century, spectacles had found their way to China. In 1451 Nicholas of Cusa in Germany produced eyeglasses to aid people who were near-sighted using concave lenses that were thinner at the center and thicker at the ends. Early eyeglasses had glass lenses set into heavy frames of wood, lead or copper. Natural materials of leather, bone and horn were later used for production of frames. In the early seventeenth century, lighter frames of steel were invented. The modern style of eyeglasses frame, which could be placed over the ears and nose, was invented in 1727 by British optician Edward Scarlett. American scientist and philosopher Benjamin Franklin is credited with the invention of bifocals, dividing his lenses for distant and near vision. These two lenses were held together in a metal frame. Sir George Biddle Airy, an English astronomer and mathematician, invented glasses to correct astigmatism in 1827 which were meant to be held by hand. Later glasses were designed to be held in place by ribbon or by exerting pressure on the bridge of the nose, such as with pince-nez. Construction of frames also improved over the centuries, and today they are made in wide array of styles and designs. Frames are generally produced of metal or plastic, and lenses are produced of glass Fast Fact or plastic. Behram, an Indian thug, holds the record for most murders by In 1955 the unbreakable lenses were invented and in 1971 a new lens was developed which combined a single individual. He strangled 931 people between 1790-1840 the properties of plastic with glass. with a piece of yellow and white cloth, called a ruhmal.

Watch while I prove it you.’ The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, ‘Which do you want, son?’ The boy takes the quarters and leaves. ‘What did I tell you?’ said the barber. ‘That kid never learns!’ Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. ‘Hey, son!

Just in Case You Were Wondering...
Using expired makeup products can be greatly detrimental. It can cause rashes, skin infections or breakouts. These are all things that you want to avoid, so ladies please make sure to avoid the use of expired makeup! You might think it’s ok to do it once, but once is all it takes to ruin your skin. There is a hole on the end of almost every lollipop stick you’ve ever had. Well, the holes are actually there for a reason. They are designed to allow a little bit of the candy to melt into the hole. This helps the candy on the lollipop hold more firmly onto the stick. Most plastic containers have symbols on them. The symbols represent what type of 7 plastics the containers are, and also act as recycling symbols. The other symbol found on the bottom of plastic packages also tells you whether the plastic is safe to use in the microwave or the dishwasher. The little plastic ring that is wrapped under the cap of a bottle helps to avoid spillage or leakage. While it does help with some bottles that can be closed, it doesn’t help with bottles that can’t be re-closed like beer bottles. It turns out that the plastic is there to help hold the gasses of the liquid inside so that it doesn’t go flat. The extra piece of fabric that comes with your new clothes has long been thought of as additional cloth to patch up holes. In reality, they are actually used to test out how different laundry detergents would react to your clothes! The more you know.

The hole on the window of an airplane is designed to compensate for air pressure. This is to ensure that when the plane ascends there isn’t a huge difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the plane. It is also there to prevent windows from fogging up. Why are there holes in your Converse All Star shoes? No, not because you’ve outgrown them and deserve another pair but because they are designed to provide insulation for your feet. Many people originally thought it was for basketball players who wanted to lace up their shoes for a tighter fit. Ever noticed why there are little holes at the end of rulers? No, they are not used to draw perfect circles, although that would be a brilliant idea. In fact, the reason is much more straightforward. The holes are there so that people can hang them up! Besides being a fashion statement metal studs actually serve a practical purpose. When Levi’s first created their jeans, they encountered several problems since the jeans would rip due to the workers and miners who would wear them while at work. So they implemented the metal studs to strengthen the jeans. The little pocket on your jeans has long been used to store loose change, tiny buttons or just some Hershey kisses. In reality, they were designed to store pocket watches! When these jeans were first created the pocket was there for cowboys and miners to store their pocket watches!

steel wool in the kitchen
1. Clean garden tools. Dampen a piece of extra-fine (000) steel wool with household oil to clean the tool surface and edges. Then wipe the tool dry with a clean rag. 2. Sharpen scissors. You can keep your scissors sharp by simply using them to cut through a piece of steel wool on a regular basis. 3. Start a campfire. Tuck some small pieces of steel wool wrapped around cotton balls into an airtight bag along with your camping gear. When it’s time to start your campfire, simply fluff one of the cotton balls and ignite the steel wool by rubbing a 9V battery’s leads over it. As it sparks, toss it on your tinder, and you’ll have a fire going in no time. 4. Keep out mice. Steel wool is an inexpensive and easy way to block small holes around baseboards, pipes or other small entryways into your home. Stuff some steel wool into cracks and crevices, and then seal the area with heavy-duty tape. Voila! Your rodent problem is solved. 5. Finish or refinish woodwork. Use super fine (0000) steel wool on a piece of furniture you have shellacked or stained. The steel wool will remove dust particles and give you a smooth surface for your final coat of shellac. You also can use steel wool to achieve a distressed look on your furniture projects. It is easier to hold and to manage around the shapes of your wood than sand paper. 6. Keep a screw in place. Steel wool can tighten and keep a loose screw in place. Simply wind a bit of steel wool around the screw before putting it back into the hole. 7. Polish brass. You can use extra-fine (000) steel wool with a little salt and lemon juice to clean and polish your real brass. Caution: Use on real brass only, not plate brass. Not sure if it is real brass? Try sticking a magnet to it. If it is sticks, it is brass plate. 8. Spruce up sneakers. Clean the scuffed sides of your athletic shoes with a bit of fine (00) grade steel wool, a little water and some elbow grease. Let them dry and go back out and play. 9. Remove heel marks. Get rid of unsightly floor smudges from rubber-soled shoes. Just rub the surface with a steel wool pad and a little water. Then wipe clean with a clean damp sponge. 10. Perk up tires. Have you washed your car, but your tires still look dirty? Apply WD-40 spray on some superfine (0000) steel wool and then scrub your tires. It works on both black walls and white walls. 11. Say goodbye to rust. Use some steel wool to remove rust on outdoor furniture or railings. If you are painting the surface after removing the rust, the steel wool does a great job of roughing the surface for your paint. 12. Remove crayon marks from wallpaper. If your kids like to color outside the lines — way outside the lines — then you can use a piece of damp steel wool and water to (very) gently clean wallpaper. Be sure to gently skim the surface in one direction. While the pre-soaped kind is sold in the cleaning aisle of your supermarket, you will find standard steel wool in home centers and hardware stores. Many online sites sell steel wool in inexpensive bulk quantities. Steel wool is a versatile and inexpensive product, and you will probably find even more uses for it around your home and garden.

You can cut defrosting times down by about 30 percent this way. It also works on soups, stews, and anything frozen Take Care of flat.
Your Utensils
"Season" wooden kitchen utensils by washing and drying them well (several hours). Dip them in very warm vegetable or olive oil, making sure the entire utensil, including handle, is covered. Allow this to set for a few minutes, then wipe off and dry with paper towels. This will prevent the wood from absorbing moisture.

Buy inexpensive packages of deli meat in the plastic deli-style containers to take care of 90 percent of your plastic storage needs. It's easy to see what's inside them, they're flexible, which makes them great makeshift pourers and funnels, they stack super-efficiently, they're dishwasher safe and reusable, they have tight-fitting tops, and best of all, provided you stick with one brand, they all use the exact same lid. Don’t take your change to one of those machines in the grocery store, they charge a percentage. Go to your bank, most of them have coin counters and it is free. Do not run the dishwasher unless it is full, it wastes water and electricity. Just rinse your dishes and put them in, takes only a few minutes. Now you are saving money not only on electricity and water, but the dishwasher detergent as well. Tomato ketchup can make your copper gleam better than an expensive polish, also. Simply mix ketchup and water in equal parts. Apply it to your copper with a soft cloth and wipe off..

Since the 2011 tops, precious metals investors have had their patience tested…
that question, we need to take a slightly longer perspective. Since the beginning of this century, gold has outperformed most asset classes. *The Dow for example is down 61% against gold since the beginning of 2000. Thus, gold has been an outstanding investment as well as being the ultimate wealth preservation asset in the 2000s. But since 2009, gold has not reflected the massive money printing and credit creation that has taken place. Many investors are comparing gold to Bitcoin. Bitcoin was $3 in 2011 Six years later, silver is down 66% from the $50 peak and gold 35% off the $1,920 peak. We must not forget and now $2,700 a truly remarkable rise. I have previously noted that Bitcoin could Bob Tonachio of course that these metals started this century at $280 be an excellent investment and that is proving to be the case. But Bitcoin has nothing and $5 respectively. But that is no consolation for the investors who got in near to do with wealth preservation. Just like with paper money, there is no tangible asset the highs. The best time to buy an asset is when it is unloved and undervalued backing it. Also, crypto currencies are totally dependent on an electronic world and like gold and silver were in the early 2000s. What few investors realize is that the internet. So *while Bitcoin could continue to go up in a speculative frenzy, it will never replace the only money which has survived for 5,000 years.* Bitcoin is only one the current levels of gold and silver, when real inflation is taken into account, of many crypto currencies. New ones are being launched continuously and created in are very similar to where the metals were in 2000-2. Gold was at $1,265 and a similar fashion to how paper money is printed, thus without an underlying service or silver was at $17 is an absolute bargain and unlikely to remain at these levels exchange of goods. The one major advantage that Bitcoin has and which makes it so for long. popular is that is not controlled by governments and can therefore not be manipulated Why are asset markets booming and gold static? by them. If crypto currencies become too successful that could of course change. As the precious metals have corrected for six years, many markets have boomed. Money Governments are controlling the rise of gold… So currently Bitcoin is an investment printing and credit creation can do wonders to asset markets. Since 2009, stocks in the US which is not influenced by governments or manipulation. Investors love that they can for example have trebled and many other asset classes such as property have appreciated buy something that is not interfered with by the powers that substantially. Global debt since 2006 is up by 75% or $100 trillion and short term and be. Sadly, the same cannot be said about gold and silver. long term rates in the Western world are down from 5-6% to anywhere from negative to around 2%. This has fueled stocks and property but so far had limited effect on gold and silver. Bob Tonachio is CEO of Robert James & It was the sub-prime mortgage market that started the 2006-9 crisis. Since then, there are property bubbles in many parts of the world. Canada, Australia, UK, Scandinavia, Hong Kong and China all have property markets which are likely to crash in the next few years together with the US one which is still a bubble. With most asset markets surging since 2009 why haven’t gold and silver? To answer

The only unpardonable sin is There's no turning back now ! I will live the rest of my life serving rejecting Jesus Christ as one's Gods purposes with God's people on God's planet for Gods glory. personal Savior.

Weird June Holidays
Flag Day is observed in the United States on June 14. It commemorates the day in 1777 when the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as our flag. It then had only 13 stars, to match its 13 stripes. It's not an official national holiday, but in Pennsylvania, it is a legal holiday. The President has proclaimed a public flag day observance every year. It was first observed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the selection of the flag. President Harry S. Truman officially recognized June 14 as Flag Day by signing the National Flag Day Bill.

The Best Places to Live in Tennessee
So when we selected the cities to appear on this list, we factored in more than where to get the cheapest mortgages. We included living costs, average annual income, attractions, quality of life and much more. All of which helped us determine the five best, low-cost Tennessee cities that you’d love to live in. 1. Murfreesboro As many people began escaping the high prices of Nashville, Murfreesboro emerged as an excellent location known for good schools, a plethora of job opportunities and a low cost of living. The median household income is about $50,000, while the median home value is $176,500. But you won’t have to sacrifice fun or entertainment with a move to the outskirts of Nashville. You’ll be able to try out some of Murfreesboro’s rave-worthy restaurants, like The Bunganut Pig Pub And Eatery, attend a performance by the Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra, or venture through the Stones River National Battlefield. 2. Smyrna U.S. News and World Report named Smyrna one of the top 10 cities in which to retire, and for good reason. This city has a small-town feel with a very low cost of living, as well as the third-lowest property taxes in the state. On top of this, it’s only 30 minutes away from downtown Nashville, which means you’ll have easy access to all of its great amenities. A city that’s constantly growing, Smyrna is attracting more quality employers, including Nissan. And if you are looking to further your career with higher education, the city is home to Motlow State Community College. 3. Johnson City Housing costs like rent and mortgage can eat away at your bottom line. But if you live in Johnson City, you’ll enjoy housing costs that are less than the national average. The median monthly mortgage is only $1,167 while the median rent is $652. But what’s even more impressive is that about 71.3% of owners and 45.6% of renters pay less than 30% of their income toward housing expenses. You can put all the money you’ll be saving in housing costs toward trying out some of Johnson City’s attractions and restaurants, such as the Johnson City Brewing Company and the Hands On! Regional Museum. 4. Clarksville Your dream of owning a home might not be possible in most cities, with the average new home costing about $350,000. But in Clarksville, the median home price is $135,600. And with a median household income at about $50,000, you’ll be well on your way to homeownership. These low prices are surprising considering that Clarksville is the fifth-largest city in the state, with a population of about 137,000. And a city that size means education and employment opportunities, a major one being Austin Peay State University. 5. Chattanooga A Livability favorite, Chattanooga has landed on several lists, including The 100 Best Places to Live and Top 10 Downtowns. It’s widely regarded as having a very high quality of life. But what folks may not know is how affordable the city is. Reasonably priced shopping and dining options will make your income go further (the median household income is $38,000). Not to mention all the cost-effective entertainment options waiting outside your doorstep, like visiting Ruby Falls or Lookout Mountain, as well as these waterfront activities.
The June Bug
My Home: Found all over North America, I hide in trees during the day. As adult beetles, we swarm in great numbers in early summer, usually at dark and are strongly attracted to lights. What I eat: As a larva, I live underground and eat the roots of grasses and other plants. As an adult, I feed at night and eat vegetation, usually the leaves from trees and bushes.
What I look like: I am less than one inch in length, am dark brown to blackish in color, have a hard casing and have wings. How I am born: I go through four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa and adult. My egg is laid in the ground, and I can live for two to three years in the ground as a larva before surfacing to become an adult. My total lifespan is up to four years.

U. S. Census Bureau Local Update of Addresses Operation The Local Update of Census Addresses Operation (LUCA) is a voluntary decennial census operation. LUCA is the only opportunity prior to the 2020 Census for tribal, state, and local governments (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) to review and update the U.S. Census Bureau’s residential address list for their jurisdiction. The Census Bureau relies on a complete and accurate address list to reach every living quarters and associated population for inclusion in the census. The LUCA operation was designed based on requirements specified by the Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994 (Public law 103-430) which provides an opportunity for designated representatives of local, state, and tribal governments to review the addresses used to conduct the decennial census. If a government lacks the resources to participate in LUCA, they can arrange for a higher level of government, such as a county; or an organization, such as a regional planning agency or council of governments, to conduct their address review. The accuracy and completeness of the address list is critical to the accuracy and completeness of the decennial census. Participating in LUCA can help ensure an accurate census for communities. Although the primary purpose of the decennial census is to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, census data are used to distribute federal funds for over 1,000 programs administered by 26 federal agencies to tribal, state, and local governments. Census data also provides statistical support for grant applications that fund community and regional development, education, agriculture, energy, and environmental programs, as well as other needed community improvements and enhancements. For more information about LUCA, call 1-844-344-0169.
Addiction...An Enemy To Everyone Everybody has their own opinions on drug and alcohol addiction, but until you've been there, your opinion remains insignificant. Yes, they chose to abuse a drug or alcohol thinking they would be one that would be able to control it. You don't control a drug or alcohol, it controls you. There are some lucky ones who have beat it, but don't think because they're still alive that life is gravy. They fight everyday all day to stay clean or sober. It's a constant battle from the time they open their eyes until they close them and it never goes away. Most are good people who made a bad choice. Battling a drug or alcohol addiction is a beast for the person addicted and the ones who love them.

The enemies of Christ stand bold; Their self-righteousness they hold. Rejected by the men of old, "Away with this Man," they told. They would not have this Man rule them: Without a cause, hated Him. Men today are doing the same. They blaspheme His Holy Name.
I came to know God in my youth when my heart was tender and life was fresh. I accepted the Lord at age thirteen Upon that cruel tree and my life has truly been blessed. Darkness and fear are no more God says to remember Him in our youth All my sins He bore Before sin takes hold of our mind ... Hope and light all around Causing our hearts to grow colder, Leaving the Savior behind.

Sow the Seed
by: Pinky White The Lord tells us to sow the seed So many to Heaven we will lead The seed of kindness, peace, and love Will surely how others to that home above The seed of faithfulness along the way Help others see a brighter day The seed of seeking souls to be saved Helps snatch them up from hells dark grave The seed of compassion we can show every day Shows others how to seek His way The seed of joy which we all need Let others see its all worth it indeed So all these seeds we sow each day Shows others to see that Jesus is the way.
What if I were there at the cross: Would I have known of sin's cost? Would I have known that I was lost? Would I have known 'why the cross'? The Lord of Glory made me see On the cross Christ died for me, From wrath and guile to set me free, Who was once His enemy. The good news is Jesus Christ came To save all His own by name. On the cross He was made their sin: Bore the wrath that was due them. Gave His life that they may have life; He made sure they saw His Light. Once for all He put away sin; Made this enemy His friend.

MOSQUITOES
•
vu No~s·ucK FAT INSTEAD OF BLOOD?!
A man in a movie theater notices what looks like a mosquito sitting next to him. "Are you a mosquito?" asked the man, surprised. "Yes." "What are you doing at the movies?" The mosquito replied, "Well, I liked the book.
Once a boy was killing mosquitoes. The girl asked him "How many mosquitoes have you killed?" He replied "3 female and 2 male." She asked "How did you know that they were male or female?" Two mosquitoes were buzzing round when they saw a drunken man. One said to the other, "You bite him ? I'm driving." What did one mosquito say to another when they came out of the cinema? Fancy a bite?

Roane County The Way It Was...
By: Robert Bailey, Roane County Historian
Have You Heard About the Poisonous Wedding? What should have been a very happy day turned into the worst mass murder to occur in Roane County’s history. November 1880. Mary Jane Dail was the daughter of Col. James I. Dail and the marriage took place at his home near the Emory River, three miles from Kingston. As this was a great social event, many prominent families from this area attended the wedding. Forty seven guests were in attendance. After the marriage ceremony, the guests were invited to sit down to a dinner around noon. That night and the next day, nearly all who ate became sick at the stomach. Six people died: Katie Lowry (age 9 years), Robert Dail (the brother of the bride), Rosie Dail (granddaughter of James I. Dail), Albert Gallaher, Mike May (a relative of the groom) and Jim Fields (a colored servant). At least 30 others were sickened. There was much speculation as to whether the poisoning was accidental or intentional. It was finally decided that it was done on purpose. It was determined that the poison was sprinkled on the turkey and the center cake. All those who became sick partook of at least one of these two items. A month after the event, the body of Katie Lowry was exhumed and tested. The tests showed that it appeared that the poison used was antimony which has the same effect as arsenic. Much speculation was brought forward through the years about the murderer. At the time some said that a man named Jack Isham did the deed. The Ishams were Union while the Hembrees were Confederate and that this was done in revenge for the murder of the father of Jack by rebels. Through research done by Alvin Hembree, there is speculation that it may have been done by a sister of Mary Jane Dail out of jealousy. Or she may have gotten someone to do it. No one was ever charged and this mystery will always remain unsolved.

__________________________________ Look At The Bright Side
One day while in the country running my insurance debit I stopped at one of my policyholder's houses. As I unlatched the gate and walked into the yard, I noticed a young boy about six or so with a baseball and a bat. When he saw me look at him, he tossed the ball into the air and swung at it. He missed. "Strike One, I called out. He picked the ball up and tossed it into the air again and swung, and missed. "Strike Two, I called.. This time he bent over and got some dirt on his hands, rubbed them together, got the bat all squared away, had his eyes all beady and ready. He had a look on his face that even Babe Ruth could not come close to. I thought of the poem "Casey At Bat." He was going to murder the ball this time..He tossed the ball and again gave a mighty swing.., but he missed again. "Strike Three I called out ...He looked at me and said, "Hey Mister, Ain't I the best pitcher you ever saw."? I guess there are two ways at looking at everything....

Things You Should Buy At A Thrift Store Companies are basically making things so they break. In fact, built-to-fail is becoming such a problem that last year the French government mandated that companies give a suggested lifespan for their products—and replace them if they break within that time. (No plans yet to do that here in the U.S.) Older items—especially those produced before mid-century—tend to be built with longevity in mind. If you can access certain things on a secondhand basis you’re going to get a real quality benefit. Not sure where to start? Here are eight items you'd do well to purchase secondhand. Wooden Cutting Boards Plastic has become the go-to for many manufacturers, since wood gets a bad rap for holding onto germs. But research from UC Davis shows that this actually isn’t the case. Wood is more porous, but the bacteria tend to crawl into it and then die. With plastic, the bacteria stay on the surface and re-infect whatever you cut next. WHY OLDER IS BETTER Your grandmother’s thick wood cutting boards will last forever, and they won’t dull your knives the way plastic boards do. Plus, you don’t have to worry about tiny bits of plastic being shaved off the board and into your food while you cut. Staplers You don’t have to love the movie Office Space to appreciate a vintage Swingline stapler. These things were built to work. If you see one at a thrift store, snag it. WHY OLDER IS BETTER You'll get decades of authoritative stapling out of one of these vintage beauties versus the months or years you’ll get from a cheap, plastic version. (Kearns also seeks out old-school metal pencil sharpeners, which will chew through thousands of pencils without cracking or breaking the way newer plastic versions do.) Dresses The premise of fast fashion is that if clothes are made cheaply (and quickly), customers will buy new things every season. Skip the trends, and go for dresses from the vintage section of your thrift store or eBay. These timeless classics were meant to be worn for seasons—plural! WHY OLDER IS BETTER You need not be a skilled seamstress to see the differences between how a Forever 21 shift and a vintage party dress are constructed. The vintage item will almost always use natural fabrics—Kearns says to look for 100 percent cotton, silk, or wool—since these fabrics hold up to years of wear. Silk linings, seams that don’t have ragged edges exposed, and fine tailoring—like darts on the bust and hips—all indicate a quality garment. Treat one of these vintage pieces correctly (hand wash or dry clean it, depending on the fabric) and you’ll hand them down to your kids. Spatulas If you're in need of a spatula, skip big box stores in favor of the thrift store's kitchenware section. WHY OLDER IS BETTER Unlike today’s plastic versions, they won’t melt if you accidentally drop them on a burner, and you’ll never find bits of spatula plastic in your scrambled eggs. One note, though: You probably shouldn’t use these on a Teflon-coated pan, since they could scrape that coating off. Leather Shoes A vintage pair of cowboy or work boots will last forever. In the good old days, leather items were often hand-stitched and cut. WHY OLDER IS BETTER Few leather goods produced today are meant to age gracefully. The leather is usually lower quality. Plus, the factory farming and slaughterhouse conditions faced by most animals are hard to reconcile with ethically. Metal Strainers Give me a really nice strainer over punched plastic any day, Plastic strainers are a mess. Sure, they’re cost effective, but when you put a large load of pasta or another heavy material in them, they twist, turn, buckle—the handle can even snap. WHY OLDER IS BETTER A metal strainer will do its job without complaint and never let you down when you’re trying to move three pounds of pasta from the sink to the stove. Bicycles For those looking to win their next race, a vintage tank of a bike may not be for you. But if you just want to cruise to and from the library, an old Schwinn single-speed can be the most glorious way to go. WHY OLDER IS BETTER Most new bikes are made of aluminum—which is lightweight, reasonably sturdy, and won’t rust: all good things. But steel is a much more comfortable ride, and though it’s heavier, you’ll find no shortage of cyclists who prefer it to aluminum. Steel has a ride quality that feels warmer than the buzz of most stiff aluminum. Wooden Furniture Thanks to stores like IKEA, Americans expect furniture to be cheap, says Kearns. We won’t pay a lot for a table or chairs, so companies cut costs with sub-par materials and rely on low-wage labor versus employing skilled craftsmen (unless you shop here—these guys are great!). Joints buckle, drawer pulls fall off, and within a few years these pieces land in dumps. Older furniture, in contrast, was made to last for generations—get a bureau that's old enough, and you'll be able to pass it on to your kids instead of leaving it at the curb in a few years. WHY OLDER IS BETTER When you buy antique furniture, you generally get all-wood construction. If the piece is old enough, that wood may even contain beautiful old-growth wood with stunning grain patterns. That’s something you literally cannot buy new, no matter how much money you have, since almost all old growth forests are gone. If you can, look for pieces with dovetailed joints in drawers. The really top-of-the-line old furniture—e.g. Texas walnut, pine from the 1840s, Mexican colonial, and French provincial— use mortice and tenons (two super-steady joint techniques) and often pegs instead of nails. Now everything is screwed and glued—which is functional but not good craftsmanship.

The Venomous Snakes of Tennessee Tennessee is home to 32 species of snakes; 4 of which are venomous. Poisonous is not the correct terminology (poison is ingested and venom is injected). All of Tennessee's venomous snakes are from the Pit Viper family. They get that name from having a heat sensing pit just behind each nostril, which they use in sensing their prey. The 4 Venomous Snakes of Tennessee are: ● Northern and Southern Copperhead ● Timber Rattlesnake ● Western Cottonmouth ● Western Pigmy Rattlesnake The venomous snakes of Tennessee have elliptical (cat eyed) shaped pupils. If a snake in Tennessee has round pupils, it is nonvenomous, also most have thick bodies and blunt tails. They have triangular shaped heads but some larger nonvenomous snakes appear to have the same head shape. They have a single row of scales on their bellies above their anus, whereas all of our nonvenomous snakes have two rows of belly scales. If you find a snake skin that has a single row of belly scales, then it is from a venomous snake. Of all the venomous snakes in Tennessee, the Cottonmouth has the meanest temperament. They will stand their ground when encountered, and they will give you a good dose of venom with each bite. Contrary to old wives tales, the Cottonmouth can bite underwater. All snakes in Tennessee have white mouths; so do not base your identification of a Cottonmouth on that criterion alone. The Timber and Western Pigmy Rattlesnakes are easier to identify because both have a button at the end of their tails that they rattle in self-defense, to warn predators away (they add a button each year as they shed their skin). The buttons are extremely fragile, so determining the age of the snake cannot be determined from the amount of buttons present. If the Rattlesnake is startled and must defend itself in an instant, then it will not rattle its tail. The Copperhead is a relatively shy snake, but they account for the most reported bites each year in Tennessee. They will inject venom based on the amount required to render its prey inactive. They know that they cannot digest a human, so roughly 50% of their bites are dry bites; meaning that when they bite, no venom is injected. *Notable mention; the Scarlet King Snake in Tennessee resembles the venomous Coral snake of the Southern United States. A way to distinguish between the two is an old rhyme that my mother taught me when I was young. "Red and black, friendly Jack, … red and yellow, kill a fellow." Meaning that if the red color band of the snake touched the black band; then it is a harmless Scarlet King snake, but if the yellow band of the snake touches the black band; then it is a venomous Coral snake. Most of the venomous snakes of Tennessee are non aggressive, with the exception of the Cottonmouth. Of all the bites reported in the United States, most occur from handling or stepping directly on the snake. Two of the best ways to avoid being bitten are, to be aware of your surroundings while trekking through the woods, and by all means do not pick up a Copperhead and play with it. There are 50,000 deaths worldwide from venomous snakebites reported each year. Of those, only 12 - 15 are in the United States, and within Tennessee, only 4 deaths have been reported since 1960. The venomous snakes of Tennessee are not as lethal as the snakes of states, such as: Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. It doesn't matter how stylish your shorts and tank top ensemble are for the summer, if you are going to be walking in wooded areas, "Wear a pair of boots". Remember that in the woods, you are in their back yard and not just your own. Snakes have no intention of biting humans, but are forced to do so by the ignorance of people not watching where they are walking. Most Tennessee snakes are nocturnal during the summer months and only lay in the midday sun to warm their blood. During the early spring and late fall they are more prevalent during the daylight hours, as the temperatures are at their highest. Therefore you are more likely to get snake bit during these seasons. During the winter months, snakes hibernate thus lowering your chances of an encounter. The next time that you complain about the amount of frogs or lizards around your home, realize that it means that you have no snakes to eliminate them, also realize that the snakes will be coming once they find out that the food supply is there. To keep the snakes out, the best defense is to keep your lawn mowed. A snake will not travel across a field in plain view of a hawk looking for a slithery meal. Also keep all debris cleaned up. Snakes tend to love something to hide under. The First thing to do is remain calm. You have been bitten by a snake and there is nothing you can do to reverse it. Snakebites in Tennessee carry a lower risk of death, than just getting into a car and driving through rush hour traffic. Your most severe problem is not the chance of death, but tissue damage to the bite area. Remove all Jewelry around or above the bite area. More than likely your worst problem from the bite will be swelling. • Keep the Bite area below the Heart. • Do not apply a tourniquet; if you restrict the flow of venom into a small area, then you will suffer greater tissue damage to the bite area. • Do not give the victim aspirin; it will thin the blood, and cause the venom to spread more than it normally would. The same applies for giving the victim alcohol. • Do not try to capture the snake. Anti-venom is the same for all Tennessee snakes; so capturing is a futile attempt, and only heightens the chances of a second snakebite victim. • The telltale signs of a venomous snakebites are swelling and an intense burning sensation of the bite area. • Do not try to suck out the venom. By cutting the bite area, you suffer a greater chance of dying from blood poisoning than from the bite itself. • Do not apply ice to the bite area.. The most severe problem with snakebites is tissue damage. The application of ice greatly increases the chances of amputation of the limb containing the bite area.

5 stresses firefighters deal with that others don’t know about
There is always the chance that something will happen that we have no control over; it’s those fears that keep us up at night. We love this job and thank the good fortune that was bestowed upon us that we are firefighters. And what‘s not to love? We eat like kings, occasionally get paid to sleep and watch TV, have a home away from home and form friendships like no other. It‘s as good a life as anybody could expect. We proudly display our union stickers on our cars, and most of us have a few fire department T-shirts in our wardrobe. The public respects us, and we have earned it. We know this, and believe in ourselves for the most part, but nothing in our lives is absolutely perfect. There is always the chance that something will happen that we have no control over. And it’s those fears that keep us up at night. Every firefighter holds a few secrets that they typically keep to themselves. 1. THE WEIGHT OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE BEAR IS CRUSHING. Maintaining the illusion of an aloof but invincible know-it-all, can-do firefighter is work. Believe it or not, we do it not for ourselves, but for those who depend on us. Firefighters are always on duty. There is no down time. The mind is never at rest. People depend on us to know what to do when they don‘t. There are a million things that could go wrong at any second, and firefighters are expected to perform. We keep this knowledge buried for the most part, but it is always there. 2. WE ARE NOT BORN WITH THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO BE GOOD FIREFIGHTERS. We have the aptitude for the job, but that’s not enough. It needs to be nurtured and constantly challenged. There is a word for what needs to be done to ensure competence: training. And training never ends. It is as constant as breathing. When a skill is learned, it needs to be re-learned at every available moment. There is always something new to perfect, and perfection is elusive. The training is the foundation that everything else depends upon. Having the skills to perform embedded in you through repetition helps when the real deal comes your way. 3. FEAR OF FAILURE IS THE GREATEST UNSPOKEN FEAR THAT EVERY FIREFIGHTER CARRIES WITH THEM. We border on arrogance, saunter through town like we own the place, respond to emergencies with a can-do” confidence and bask in the glow of public confidence. But in the middle of the night, when there is nobody but you and the thoughts that run through your mind, things are not so clear. A million scenarios play out before you, and you question whether or not you have what it takes to respond. The what-if game knows no end. • What if the train that usually rolls through town unnoticed derails, and a toxic cloud of chlorine gas and anhydrous ammonia escapes? • What if the baby that normally sleeps through the night is found not breathing at three in the morning? • What if a truck carrying scrap metal takes the Thurber‘s Avenue curve too quickly and rolls onto a car full of college kids, trapping them, cutting them to shreds, and all you can do is watch them bleed to death while the crane that will free them slowly creeps up Rt. 95?

• What if the kid who decided to hang himself changed his mind at the last second, and you arrived a second too late? • What if the fire is too hot, and a family of five burns to death 3 feet from where you stand, charged hoseline in hand, unable to get even 1 inch closer, and the echo of their screams is all that is left of them when you finally force the door? Failure is not an option. There is no “nice try” in firefighting. There is success and there is failure. Success is what makes firefighting great. Failure is soul-crushing, confidence stealing, character-destroying misery — it’s the greatest unspoken fear that every firefighter carries with them. 4. WE LIVE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE RISK OF DEVELOPING CANCER IS EXTREMELY HIGH. Nobody wants to die. The myth that we will die so that others may live is just that, a myth. What we will do is take ridiculous chances at rescuing people — if, and only if, there is a chance we will come out alive. None of the firefighters who die in fires, collapses, accidents or explosions do so willingly. It is an insult to the integrity of life to think otherwise. But die we do. Most often it isn‘t during a daring rescue, where images of a heroic firefighter are flashed across the screens of an adoring public. Most often we die alone, in bed, in agony, pain numbed by morphine, with a few people by our side, the ones that stayed with us during the struggle, when the lights are gone, and the cameras no longer roll. We die from cancer. The things that burn emit toxins that we breathe in long after the fire is out. • The diesel fumes in the station that no system can capture. • The million and one chemicals that are created when a car catches fire. • The asbestos we breathe. • The dust that settles in our lungs and on our skin. 5. THE THINGS WE SEE IN THIS PROFESSION ARE WORSE THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE. Going to work knowing that there is a very good chance something will happen that will eat away at your soul becomes business as usual. Mentally preparing yourself to face death, disfigurement, madness and disease becomes the norm, while working or not. It eats away at your humanity, your compassion, and your ability to love freely and without guile. The feeling of impending doom will always be with you, consciously or subconsciously, it matters not; what does matter is how you handle it. The toughest among us are actually not that tough at all, they are simply the healthiest. Those who joke about the dead and make small talk of the mentally unstable are those of us who suffer the most and disguise their hurt with bravado. The rest of us just cope, and get through each day the best we can. Firefighting is more than a way to make a living. It‘s a way of life. But nothing in life is free. Even those who are fortunate enough to have the greatest job in the world know the price we pay, but for the benefit of those we love and those we protect and serve, we keep it to ourselves. And it‘s killing us, slowly but surely.

Fun outdoor games to play Sponge Ball Dodge Ball - What could be better on a hot, scorching day? Split into two teams and knockout every player on the opposing team by throwing and hitting them with — not hard-hitting dodge balls, but — soft, water-soaked sponge balls. Make a set of your own kitchen sponges, drench them in water, and get ready to get wet! Soak a bunch of t-shirts in water, place them in plastic bags, and then stick them in the freezer overnight. The next day, hold a race to see who can "defrost" and pull on a frozen t-shirt the quickest. This is a great choice to play on a sweltering day--you'll want to keep the chilly t-shirt on even after the race is over! This one is pretty self-explanatory: dodge ball... but with water balloons. Just don't aim for people's faces. Do you have long toes? They may come in handy (or foot-y) while playing this game! You stick your feet into a tub of freezing water and try to pick up as many marbles as you can using your toes. Make a chalkboard to put on the side of your garage (or a fence) and use it to play a giant outdoor version of Pictionary (basically charades, but with drawing). You can also use the board to keep score for any other yard game. Add glow sticks into ten bottles of water to make bowling pins you can use at night. Grab some blankets and attempt to pull your partner across the lawn as fast as you possibly can. Obviously things will be a lot easier if your partner is under 4 feet tall! Players have a balloon tied to each of their ankles and everyone runs around the yard trying to pop other player's balloons using their feet--whoever keeps their balloons intact the longest is the winner.

What makes a rooster decide to crow? A rooster crows because he has an internal clock that helps him anticipate sunrise. Like all birds, roosters sing – or crow – in a daily cycle. Almost all animals have daily cycles of activity known as circadian rhythms that roughly follow the cycle of day and night. Roosters anticipate sunrise to get a head start on their daily hunt for food and defense of territory. But if one rooster in the neighbor has an internal clock that’s set a little early, he can stimulate other roosters to crow early, too. The rooster’s sunrise song is actually a way of establishing his territory. When a rooster crows, he’s sending a signal to other roosters that if they trespass, they’re asking for a fight. A rooster will often crow from a vantage point above his territory so he can make others more aware of his presence and so that his songs travel farther. Even though roosters are the most famous crooners of the chicken world, hens aren’t exactly silent, either. When a hen spots a hawk, she’ll let out a harsh scream to send her chicks into hiding. But if she sees a less-threatening human, she might just cackle.

Rainbows
According to the Bible, the rainbow is the sign of God's promise to mankind that he will never again flood the Earth. Indeed, rainbows often indicate that the rain has passed. Generally, it will be sunny when you see a rainbow, but rain clouds (usually cumulonimbus ) will be just a short distance away. In order to see a rainbow you'll need two ingredients: sunlight and raindrops. Prism of water Sunlight is a mixture of colors. When it passes through a glass prism, some of the light is bent, or refracted, more than other portions. Light leaving the prism spreads out into a continuous band of colors called a spectrum. Colors go from red, which is bent least, through orange, yellow, green, and blue all the way to violet, which is bent the most. And just as sunlight passing through a prism is bent, so is sunlight passing through drops of water. This produces an atmospheric solar spectrum in the sky for all to see: a rainbow. A rainbow is simply a group of circular or nearly circular arcs of color that appear as a huge arch in the heavens. The raindrops act like miniature prisms, refracting or breaking sunlight into various colors as well as reflecting it to produce the spectrum. Rainbows are frequently seen in the wake of a rainstorm. They come when the sunlight breaks through rain clouds. You can create an artificial rainbow for yourself with a garden hose. Simply stand with your back to the sun and adjust the hose to a fine spray. Rainbows can also be seen against the spray of a waterfall. A single, or primary, rainbow has red on the outside or top of the bow and blue on the inside. Usually the radius of the arc is equal to about one-fourth of the visible sky, or 42 degrees, to the red. When there are showers nearby, simply look in the part of the sky opposite the sun at a 42-degree angle from your shadow; if there is a rainbow, that is where it will be. The primary bow is due to light that enters the upper part of the drops and leaves after one internal reflection, so this bow is always brighter than the secondary bow where sunlight is reflected twice within raindrops. Sometimes a secondary bow forms outside the primary. It will be fainter, with the colors reversed: red on the inside, violet on the outside. The secondary rainbow forms at a 51-degree angle from your shadow; it's always fainter and usually disappears more quickly than the primary. The region between the two bows appears relatively dark, for it lacks entirely both the once- and the twice-reflected rays. There is even evidence for a third or tertiary rainbow that has been seen on rare occasions, and a few observers have even reported seeing quadruple rainbows in which a dim outermost arc had a rippling and pulsating appearance.

Signs You're Too Young to Get Married You're counting down the days until you get your braces off (and we're not talking about Invisalign). You've been grounded in the last year.

Your boyfriend wears a letter jacket. You can't get One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" out of your head, and you're pretty sure it was written about you. You still have a curfew.

“Little River” - Chapter 18 by: Rachel Holbrook
The late August sunshine reflected off the river, making Caleb squint. He had forgotten his sunglasses at home when Robbie and his dad, Jim, picked him up that morning. He hadn’t been fishing with them in a long time. Jim had been working a lot of overtime and hadn’t had time. “How are you liking staying with your uncle?” Jim asked Caleb as he cast his line into the water. “It’s fine,” Caleb answered. Jim nodded, but didn’t say anything. He was a man of few words. After a few minutes of fishing in silence, Caleb said, “We may be moving to Knoxville.” “What?” Robbie jerked his head up to look at his friend. “You didn’t tell me that!” “It’s not for sure yet.” Caleb didn’t look up from his line in the water. “Uncle Titus is putting his house up for sale, though. If he can sell it, we’re going to move.” “Hmm.” Jim spit a stream of tobacco juice onto the grass by his feet, but didn’t say anything else. “That sucks,” Robbie said, flinging his pole on the ground. “Yeah,” Caleb agreed. He wasn’t going to tell his friend he actually wanted to move. Robbie was one of the biggest reasons leaving would be hard for Caleb. They had grown up together, and Caleb had never had another friend he was anywhere near as close to as he was with Robbie. “When were you going to tell me?” Robbie demanded. “I don’t know,” Caleb muttered. “Soon.” “Did you tell Megan?” Caleb felt his heart speed up. He hated when people got mad at him, and he could tell Robbie’s anger was growing. “Yeah.” “Typical.” Robbie glared at his friend. “I’ve got to take a leak.” Caleb watched his friend stomp off toward the woods, and sighed. “He’ll be alright,” Jim said, still watching his line. “He’s just gotta get used to the idea.” Caleb nodded. Jim reached over and clapped a big, rough hand on Caleb’s shoulder. “We’ll miss having you around, though. You’ve been just like a son to me.” Caleb looked away, not wanting Jim to see the tears welling in his eyes. He had wished so many times that he really was Jim’s son. Robbie stalked back to his spot beside his friend and picked up his fishing pole. “I guess it’s not that far away.” “Uncle Titus says you can come over whenever you want,” Caleb offered. “And he says he will drive me back to Little River sometimes to hang out.” “You can spend the night at our house,” Robbie said. Jim nodded in agreement. “You know you’re always welcome. Whenever you want.” “Thanks.” Caleb felt a tug on his line, and gave it a jerk. He started reeling, feeling the pull of a fish on the other end. “Looks like a big’un!” Jim reached for the net leaning against his camp chair, and stepped down to the water’s edge to dip it out. “Oh, wow!” Robbie exclaimed. “I bet that weighs three pounds.” “At least,” Jim agreed. Caleb’s cheeks hurt from grinning as he pulled the hook from the bass’ mouth. The fish gleamed in the sunlight. “I think it’s the biggest fish I’ve ever caught!” “He’s a keeper,” Jim said solemnly, smiling at Caleb. Caleb had a funny feeling he wasn’t talking about the fish, and he had to turn away again. “The sun’s hurting my eyes. I should have brought my sunglasses.” Caleb walked slowly down the street. His stomach hurt. He had eaten too much. Robbie’s mom was such a good cook. She cooked like Caleb’s grandma–cornbread, pinto beans, fried potatoes, and fried fish. “Caleb!” Caleb turned his head at the sound of his name, scanning the street and the park across the way. He couldn’t find the source. “Up here!” Caleb’s eyes finally landed on Megan, sitting on the landing of the first of two wooden towers on the play structure in the park. She waved at him. Caleb’s heart sped up as he smiled and jogged over to the park. “What are you

doing?” “Just hanging out.” Megan was smiling down at him, looking radiant in the fading sunlight. “I’m bored out of my mind. Papaw’s having an old man convention at his house.” Caleb laughed. “What’s an old man convention?” “All his old geezer friends are playing cards and stinking up the house with their nasty food.” The two towers of the play structure were joined by a swinging bridge. The first tower had a ladder to climb up; the second tower had a slide to get down. Caleb crossed the bridge and joined his friend. “You look pretty,” he said softly, and looked away, afraid eye contact would make him blush. “Thanks.” Megan scooted closer to him, her hip pressed against his. “How long have you been up here?” “A while.” Megan held up a book from beside her, and said, “I brought this old book I found in my bedroom closet. I think it used to be my mom’s. “ “Is it any good?” “Not really.” Megan laughed. “I need to get a library card or something.” Changing the subject, she asked, “What have you been up to?” “Fishing with Robbie and his dad.” “Cool. Did you catch anything?” “Yeah.” Caleb couldn’t help but grin. “Biggest bass I’ve ever caught.” “Did you take a picture?” Caleb shook his head. “No camera. But it sure tasted good!” Megan laughed. “I’ve not been fishing since I was a little girl.” “We should go sometime.” Caleb glanced over at her from beneath the brim of his ball cap. Megan nodded, and then asked, “Did you tell Robbie about moving?” “He’s not happy about it.” “I figured as much.” “He was really mad at first. And,” Caleb took his cap off and ran his fingers through his hair, “he was mad at me for telling you before I told him.” “Sorry.” Caleb shrugged. “It’s not your fault. He’s just used to being the only person I tell anything to.” Megan reached for Caleb’s hand, and turned it over, holding it in her lap. “I’m glad you tell me stuff.” He wished he had known she was going to hold his hand, so he could have wiped it on his jeans. He was afraid it felt sweaty. “I don’t know what I’m going to do if you move before I go back home.” She leaned her head on his shoulder. “Meeting you was the only good thing about getting stuck in Little River this summer.” The scent of her shampoo rose off her hair, and Caleb took a deep breath. “I’m really glad I met you, too.” Megan lifted her head from his shoulder, and turned to look at him. She smiled, expectant. Caleb had seen enough movies to know this was his moment, but he had never kissed a girl before. He swallowed, glanced away, and wet his lips with the tip of his tongue. When he looked back at her, she was still watching him. As he was gathering his courage, she laughed and said, “You are completely adorable, Caleb Salt.” For the rest of his life, when Caleb thought about his first kiss, he always remembered that laugh and the taste of her strawberry lip gloss. “Little River” is an ongoing serial which debuted on 6-30-15. New installments will be published every month in The Roane Reader. If you enjoy this serial you can purchase “Little River” Vol. 1 from Amazon in paperback or as a Kindle book for easy reading on your e-reader devices. Rachel Holbrook writes from her home in East Tennessee, where she lives with her husband and six children. She is currently seeking representation for her first novel.

Urban Coyotes Coyotes are highly adaptable and can survive in urban areas as long as food and shelter requirements are met. In urban areas coyotes will feed on almost anything including garbage, pet food, small cats and dogs, and other wild animals such as rodents, skunks, raccoons and birds. Coyotes typically hunt alone, however they may hunt in groups when food is abundant. Coyote pups are born in dens. In urban environments, dens can be storm drains, culverts, under storage sheds, under porches, holes in vacant lots, parks, golf courses, or any dry area. Coyotes are sighted more often these days due to several factors. The human population has increased greatly over the past few years combined with a decrease in open farmlands (natural coyote habitat). Many well meaning residents have promoted an unnatural boldness in coyotes by intentionally or unintentionally feeding them. This has encouraged coyotes to become accustomed to the sights, sounds, and scents of humans. In areas where they are hunted and trapped, coyotes are extremely wary of humans. However, in urban areas where they are less likely to be harmed and more likely to associate people with an easy and dependable source of food, they lose the fear of humans. Coyotes will come up on porches and decks if food is regularly present. Animals that have lost their natural fear of humans (associating humans with food) become dangerous to humans and that animal's lifespan is shortened. Coyote attacks are extremely rare. In recorded history only 30 coyote attacks on humans have been recorded. Three million children are bitten by dogs each year. A child is millions of times more likely to get attacked by the family pet than a coyote. The vast majority of coyote attacks in the United States are the result of a coyote attacking a small dog or cat and the pet’s owner trying to stop the attack by getting between the animals. When the pet’s owner gets between the animals, the coyote will bite the pet’s owner. Many attacks occur when coyotes become comfortable around humans, often a result of people feeding them. If a wild coyote bites you, seek medical attention immediately. Notify the state health department as soon as possible.

Pet’s Page Teach your dog to be around children Start an obedience program Having a well-behaved dog is the first step in ensuring the safety of children in your home. Teach your dog basic commands, such as sit and down, and you will be able to teach him how to behave around kids. For example, if his first impulse is to jump up to kiss visitors, teaching him to lie down instead will allow you to direct him into more appropriate behavior. Don't let your dog jump up. You may not mind your dog jumping up on you to say hello, but not every visitor to your home will feel the same way. It can be especially dangerous when your visitor is a young child who can be injured if your dog knocks them over. Your best bet is to not allow your dog to jump up at all. If your dog jumps up when you walk through the door, you can ask him to sit instead. If this doesn't work, try walking right back out the door when he jumps. Give him lots of attention and praise for keeping all four paws on the floor when you walk through the door. The dog will soon learn that it's far more rewarding not to jump up on people. Practice handing exercises Even the most well-behaved child sometimes can't keep himself from throwing his arms around a dog's neck or tugging on a dog's tail. Prepare your dog for this kind of attention before he runs into a child. Give him lots of praise and maybe even a few treats while you gently pull his tail, hold his paws, hug him, and check out his ears.
Training your cat
Stop all reprimands and punishment. Concentrate on making your relationship fun, rewarding, playful and interesting. Sometimes this change alone will solve your cat training problems. Cats are known to become overly active and destructive when bored. Daily play sessions and relaxing massages help your cat calm down. Cats that feel neglected will often stop using their litter box. If you schedule regular sessions to give your cat undivided attention and to play games with him, even litter box problems can disappear almost overnight. Set up your cat to succeed in performing those behaviors you want her to learn so she can be rewarded. The most effective method of cat training is through rewards. This will give you the opportunity to reward and praise him for good behavior. Set up the cat's environment so that his misbehavior is not a rewarding experience. Let's take a look at furniture scratching as an example. While making your cat's scratching post fun, rewarding and exciting, the training process also requires you to make the furniture unattractive as a clawing item. Instead of you telling the cat to avoid the furniture, let the furniture itself tell the cat to stay away. It's up to you to find something your cat does not like. Maybe you are into training your cat to jump through a hoop; maybe you just want him to stop climbing the drapes. Whatever the case, remember that cats learn best through the use of rewards, praise and positive reinforcement. Set kitty up to succeed. Set yourself up to succeed with your cat. It works, and it simplifies training your cat. It's a lot more fun when training succeeds for both of you.

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card and the Democratic Party Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts. Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed. Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised: 1.) That participation in the Program would be "Completely voluntary", No longer Voluntary 2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program, Now 7.65% on the first $90,000 3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year, No longer tax deductible 4.) That the money the participants put into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program. Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent 5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put away' -- you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it? A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? A: The Democratic Party. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? AND MY FAVORITE: A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! ------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- --------Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve.

Fidget spinner is a type of stress-relieving toy. A basic fidget spinner consists of a bearing in the center of a design made from any of a variety of materials including brass, stainless steel, titanium, copper and plastic. The toy has been advertised as helping people who have trouble focusing or fidgeting (such as those with ADHD, autism, or anxiety) by acting as a release mechanism for nervous energy or stress. Experts were divided on this claim, with some supporting it while others refuted its scientific basis and argued the toy may actually be more distracting. Although they were invented in the 1990s, fidget spinners have become a popular toy in 2017. Often marketed with health benefits, the toy began being used by school children, resulting in some schools banning the spinners, arguing that the toy became a distraction in classrooms. Other schools are allowing the toy to be used discreetly by children in order to help them concentrate. When fidget spinners rose in popularity in 2017, many publications discussed their claimed benefits for individuals with ADHD, autism, or anxiety. As money detailed, fidget spinners were "created and marketed as a calming tool used to stay focused." Some fidget spinners sold on Amazon were advertised as "stress relievers." Hettinger accounted her knowledge of "a special needs teacher who used it with autistic kids, and it really helped to calm them down." James Plafke of Forbes explained, "ultimately, though, there isn't enough research regarding whether or not these spinners can actually help people from a mental health standpoint." Experts themselves were polarized on this claim, as some supported the notion of its benefit for those with ADHD and autism, while others argued the spinners could actually be more distracting than helpful with focusing
If everything seems to be coming your way.... you're probably in the wrong lane
Hummingbird facts A hummingbird’s brilliant throat color is not caused by feather pigmentation, but rather by iridescence in the arrangement of the feathers. Light level, moisture, angle of viewing and other factors all influence just how bright and colorful the throat may appear. Hummingbirds cannot walk or hop, though their feet can be used to scoot sideways while they are perched. These birds have evolved smaller feet to be lighter for more efficient flying. They will use their feet for itching, however! The calliope hummingbird is the smallest bird species in North America and measures just 3 inches long. The bee hummingbird is the smallest species and measures 2.25 inches long. It is endemic to Cuba. Hummingbirds have 1,000-1,500 feathers, the fewest number of feathers of any bird species in the world. Not only do they not need as many feathers because of their tiny size, but fewer feathers also keeps them more lightweight for easier flight.
