Among the attractions that make Knoxville, Tenn., a good place to visit are an outstanding regional history museum and four historic homes. Many of Knoxville's earliest settlers had direct ties to North Carolina.
Knoxville is approximately 260 miles from Charlotte, about a four-hour drive, one way.
To see and do
The East Tennessee History Center is a spacious, high-tech museum in a renovated 1874 federal custom house, Exhibits tracing the history of the region from early settlement through present day. Highlights among the many early 19th-century artifacts is a flintlock rifle once owned by Davy Crockett, and a powder horn carried by a member of the famed Lewis and Clark expedition.
James White's Fort is called the "birthplace" of Knoxville. Formerly of Iredell County, N.C., White moved to what was to become Knoxville in 1785 to claim 1,000 acres he had been given for his service during the Revolutionary War. He built a two-story cabin - considered at the time to be very elegant - and later added a separate kitchen and other outbuildings facing a common courtyard. A stockade protected the courtyard against panthers, bears and other wild animals. In 1791, William Blount, appointed by President Washington to serve as Governor of the Territory South of the River Ohio, bought land from White to establish a new capital for the territory. So began Knoxville, named for Henry Knox, Washington's Secretary of War.
Like White, William Blount was a former Tar Heel, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and one of North Carolina's three signers of the U. S. Constitution. The territorial governor built a "civilized" home for himself and his family in 1792, a two-story framed house with additions. Its many windows caused Blount's Cherokee neighbors to call it "the house with many eyes."
Marble Springs Farmstead was the last home of John Sevier, a hero of the Battle of Kings Mountain. Sevier was actively involved in efforts to establish the state of Franklin and served as the one and only governor of this "lost state" (1784-1788). Fittingly, when Tennessee was admitted to the Union, Sevier was elected its first governor. The farmstead includes Sevier's original log home, several reproduction outbuildings and a representative roadside tavern.
The imposing plantation home of Francis A. Ramsey was built in 1797 of native pink marble and blue limestone. Its rooms are quite elegant, with handsome carved mantels, wainscoting, and wooden shutters in most rooms, along with an abundance of fine furnishings. Ramsey was one of the founders of the University of Tennessee.

Do you think Mayor Bloomberg's breastfeeding initiative goes too far?
Yes. If a woman wants formula, she should be able to get it from a hospital - free of charge.
No. Breastfeeding is healthier for babies and this is a good move for mom and baby.

This year has been a pretty damn good one for Guided by Voices fans. Not only did main man Robert Pollard reunite the "classic '93-'96 lineup" for three albums — Let's Go Eat the Factory, Class Clown Spots UFO, and the forthcoming Bears for Lunch (in addition to Mouseman Cloud, another in his torrential downpour of solo records), but the year saw the return of the nation's best GBV tribute band, Secret Fox. Featuring Jim Adkins (of Jimmy Eat World) and members of The Secret Lives of Painters, the band celebrated the return of Guided by Voices with a reunion gig of its own at Crescent Ballroom after 10 years of inactivity. The band didn't stick to the classic lineup repertoire alone, dipping into "Guided by Verde"-era power pop, too, but there were Pollard-style high kicks. Oh, yes, high kicks galore.

A New Faith
"I feel great about turning 40. I'm having the time of my life."
09/27/2007 AT 12:00 PM EDT
Saturday is housecleaning day for Faith Hill, so when on Sept. 15 Tim McGraw cut his wife off from her vacuum cleaner and told her to get lost for a few hours, she knew something was up. She passed the time shopping near their suburban Nashville home with their daughter Gracie, 10, while Maggie, 9, went to the zoo and Audrey, 5, played with a friend. When she finally returned, McGraw was packed and ready to go . . . somewhere. With instructions to grab her makeup and a camera, Hill climbed in the car with her equally stumped girls while McGraw got behind the wheel. "He wasn't saying anything," says Hill of the drive to the airport. "I was dying."
McGraw managed to stay silent about the surprise he had spent months planning – for his wife's 40th birthday on Sept. 21 – for nine hours, but as their private jet started to descend, "He said, 'Guess where we're going,'" recalls Hill. "I said, 'Give us a clue!' And he said, 'Alexander the Great was from there.' And I was like, 'Oh, great, a history question.' I couldn't remember. Then he said, 'The first Olympics,' and I said, 'Rome!' Duh! And then Gracie said, 'Greece!' "
Their touchdown in Athens was only the beginning. McGraw, 40, had booked the famous Onassis yacht, the Christina O, and arranged for 30 or so friends and family members (including her father, Ted Perry, 77, and brothers Wesley, 47, and Steve, 45) to join them. Hill – who was adopted as an infant and later found her birth mother, now deceased, and full biological younger brother Zach, now 37 – was thrilled that for the first time, all her brothers were meeting. "She was in heaven," says her childhood pal and fellow cruiser Gaye Knight. "It was the full circle coming together." The only sad note, says Hill, was the absence of her mother, Edna, 71, who had a stroke a few years ago and is unable to travel. "I never thought my father would travel without my mom," she says. "When I saw him I just started bawling. I was like, 'Oh, Daddy,' and he started crying."

Chāyā (छाया, chhaya), the word–in hindi–is an umbrella term for ghosts, spirits, etc. And this project is a collection of information on supernatural entities as known in different cultures across India.
This is a personal project, where I will be illustrating and writing about the various apparitions. And since it is not based on pure speculation on my part, there could very well be some truth in these stories.
I’ll be focussing on the female entities for now. Because admit it, female ghosts are way more scary! Men, even after death, could only try to scare you; sure, they’d smash stuff around or, at their worst, they’d kill you. But a female ghost would get inside your head! She’d screw your life and would make you wish you were dead, but she wouldn’t let you die. So, yeah, I’m a fan.
Disclaimer: I’ll be dealing with some debatable stuff here and with some very old yet unanswered questions. Of course, I don’t know if ghosts exist, for real, or if they have genders that somehow determine their behavioural patterns. And if there are in fact female ghosts, I have no clue how they would end up in whites! Rationally, I can give reasons that makes it all a part of human imagination. But then isn’t everything a part of that imagination? Reality could very well be an illusion, we could just be a simulation in a game of SIMS, inside a black hole.
Sadly, these questions will remain unanswered. For now, my research is based on people’s beliefs, especially of those who believe in these apparitions. Because life’s so much better when we believe in each other!
The things we think we see, the reality we think we live in; it’s different for each one of us.
The Game Plan
The plan, or more accurately, the goal is to publish the collection as a physical book. Think of it like a mix between a lavish coffee-table book and an ancient codex, if that makes any sense whatsoever. But that’s a long term goal, once the “book” has a substantial number of pages.
An even bigger goal is to do these series of books on ghosts from different parts of the world. But it’s too much into the future, I should step back.
The plan, however, is a tricky thing to answer. I actually don’t have much of a plan. Right now this project isn’t going to pay any of my bills and so it’s not super high in my priority list. But since it’s a passion project, it is in that list.
I plan to keep working on it. And I hope people will support me along the way.
The closest of a plan I have is to post this series on Patreon. Most of this will be open to public consumption, but it will give people a chance to support me and be a part of this project.
Here is a link to the Patreon page. You can support and follow me there.

Even if the United States is continuing to be the only nation that has sent humans to the Moon, the Soviet Union achieved to realize three missions to take samples from the Moon and return them to the Earth to study them.
Missions of sample collecting
The first Soviet robotic mission that landed in the Moon and returned with samples of its surface was the mission Luna 16, launched from the Earth the 12th of September 1970. The spacecraft landed in the North-West zone of the Sea of Fertility, at a 100 km distance from the crater Webb. The Luna 16 reached to collect 101 grams of lunar samples thanks to its extensible perforator device. The samples, afterward returned to the Earth for its study, were sold in an auction for the price of 442 500 dollars in 1973.
The previous mission was followed by the Soviet mission of the Luna 20, which flew as part of the Lunar Soviet program, as a robotic competitor to the six Apollo spatial crewed by American missions. The Luna 20 mission had as objective to collect material from the mountainous formation of the Apollonius, next to the Sea of Fertility, where the Luna 16 mission landed. Unfortunately, this mission only managed to return to the Earth55 grams of lunar samples, half the quantity of the previous.
The Luna 24 was the last mission to return to the Earth samples of the lunar surface. The last mission of this series was the intent of getting back a sample of the unexplored zone of the Moon Mare Cisium. After having passed a day on the Moon, the spacecraft returned to the Earth with a sample of 170 grams of that area of the Moon.
All-terrain Soviet robots
Apart from the Luna lunar missions, the Soviets also sent to our satellite two all-terrain robots: the Lunojod 1 and 2, that arrived at the Moon in the year 1970 and in 1973 respectively. The main objective of the two Soviet missions on the Moon was of exploring the lunar surface and send images from it to the Earth. This completed Luna series missions, which were orbital and sample return to the Earth missions.
The first Soviet all-terrain vehicle in arriving on the Earth, the Lunojod 1, arrived at its destiny on the 17th November 1970. It landed on the Moon and explored widely the Mare Imbrium (Sea of the rains) during the 11 months while it was still functioning, until it finalised its mission on the 4th October 1971. We have to keep in mind that the spacecraft functioned for much more time than it was predicted, exceeding by a lot the 90 days that it was thought it would function. During its period of functioning, the Lunojod 1 covered a distance of about 1o km through the lunar surface and sent around 20 000 images to the Earth. It managed to realise more than 500 experimental tests on the lunar soil, in which it analysed its physic properties in 500 tests and the chemical in another 25.
The Lunojod 1 opened the way to spatial robotic exploration, as it was the first control-remote vehicle used out from the Earth, and it realised measures of the lunar environment through an X-ray spectrometer, an X-ray telescope and a detector of cosmic rays.
The Lunojod 2 landed on the Moon on the 15th January 1973. This second all-terrain took numerous photos of the lunar surface, analysed the solar X-ray, measured the lunar magnetic field and examined the properties of some different materials from the lunar surface. Improved in comparison to its previous Soviet mission, the Lunojod 2 covered a distance of 37 km of distance and it sent 86 panoramic images and more than 80 000 televisual images. Even if it reached more succeeds in this data, it was only operative during 4 months, a month more than it was predicted to.
The cause of its low functioning time was due to that its alimentation source stopped functioning after getting covered by a dust cape that recovered its solar panels. This took place after having cruised a crater near its moon landing place. As it couldn’t produce more energy, when it exhausted it stopped transmitting data to the Earth.
In addition to the data that was collected, the true legacy of the two Lunojod missions is seen reflected in the success of the following missions that were sent to Mars with all-terrain vehicles. The Soviet missions to the Moon have helped us to arrive on other planets with more succeeds.


WORK was due to be completed this week on repairing a Whitchurch road that was damaged in the recent flooding.
A temporary road closure has been in place on the road to Ashley Warren, between Cole Henley Road and Hare Warren Lane.
Work to repair the road started on March 25 and was expected to last 21 days.
Councillor Seán Wood-ward, executive member for economy, transport and environment at Hampshire County Council, said: “Ashley Warren has temporarily been made an access-only road due to the damage the recent heavy rainfall has caused to the foundations and surface of the road.
“As the road is drying out, large potholes have started to appear, so engineers are monitoring the area and any safety repairs will be carried out.”
He added: “As this road is mainly used by local residents, they have all been advised to access their homes from the north and to use the road with care.”

A routine traffic stop at Umawera, in the Far North, led to the discovery of a methamphetamine lab at Whangape, police say.
The driver of the vehicle has been charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and possession of equipment for the manufacture of the drug.
Detective Sergeant Mark Robertson said inside the four-wheel-drive vehicle and the trailer it was towing police found what amounted to all the components required for a methamphetamine laboratory.
"We seized equipment, chemicals, basically an entire lab, breathing apparatus and protective clothing," Mr Robertson said.
Two properties in the Whangape area were searched later on Saturday and equipment and chemicals had been found in bush.
A 45-year-old man was due in the Kaitaia District Court today over the find.

Cancellation Of Programs Questioned
A state senator sought the attorney general's opinion Saturday on a matter involving state Treasurer Claudette Henry.
Sen. Bob Kerr, D-Altus, wants the attorney general to determine whether Henry acted properly when she refused to renew two loan programs for agriculture and small business.
The dispute involves the Small Business Linked Deposit program and the Agriculture Linked Deposit program which offer low-interest loans.
In a recent letter, Henry said the Legislature had killed the programs and she didn't have the authority to renew them.
But Kerr says legislators simply suspended the programs until the treasurer could meet her own revenue estimates.
He says the Legislature specifically gave Henry the authority to renew the programs at that point, and he is asking the attorney general to confirm that authority in a formal opinion. BIOG: NAME:

The significant level of these emissions reflects the potential for mining to create a positive legacy, and many of the world’s major miners have already set demanding targets for themselves. However, this rapid transformation is not without its challenges, and mining companies are reaching out proactively to find relevant and sustainable paths to decarbonisation.
The industry has committed to invest many billions of dollars implementing solutions. Identifying suitable solutions and designing the operation around these requirements will need both innovative thinking and extensive experience in mining operations. SRK’s workshop on decarbonisation strategies was therefore another step in its continuous process of integrating its response capabilities. Leveraging its global network of experienced engineers and scientists, SRK brings clients a holistic approach involving various facets of mining.
There have been pioneering efforts by mines to switch their energy supply from fossil-fuelled sources to renewable energy. This will have a particular impact where a mine’s energy is currently being generated by burning coal, diesel or gas. Several remote mines have commissioned a combination of solar and wind power systems with battery capacity to extend utilisation. Some mines in Australia are generating up to 60 % of their power from renewable sources and are looking to increase this to ~80 % through adding additional renewable capacity.
Electrifying mines’ truck haulage system is another potential strategy to decarbonise, as haulage can represent between 30 % and 50 % of emissions. Each large truck in an open pit application typically consumes 800 000 to 1 million l of diesel a year, translating to between 2200 and 3000 tons of carbon dioxide. Available technologies include the trolley assist system, which was largely pioneered in South Africa, and in-pit crushing and conveying systems. These can reduce diesel consumption by 60 to 80 %. However, implementing such solutions requires changing mine designs and plans. This is where SRK can provide the necessary insights, advice and designs – to ensure that any technological changes will be suitable and effective.
Underground mines are adopting battery power in their trackless machinery as the haul distances underground tend to be shorter and flatter. An added benefit of battery power over diesel is the reduced energy needed for ventilation. Consequently, to obtain the full benefit of any investment in battery vehicles requires looking at the whole operation.
Underground coal mines have always been conscious of methane levels due to the safety risk though the traditional solution of diluting any emissions using ventilation now means the methane is too dilute to burn. SRK’s ventilation specialists in California are working on projects to develop solutions to cost effectively destroy this methane. Other specialists are working with clients to measure emissions so that solutions can be targeted.
Ongoing reductions in emissions will require mine teams to work together in a more integrated way, so that the solutions extend across different mine functions. For example, ore can be blasted finer to reduce the energy needed for crushing and grinding or concentrate grade can be increased to reduce Scope 2 emissions from smelters. Alternative technologies such as preconcentration and high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGRs) are available but may only be feasible at the outset of a new project or expansion. Optimal haul road design and maintenance can also contribute to efficiency by minimising rolling resistance and travel distances – all of which reduce diesel consumption.
Mine waste can also sequester carbon – tailings from nickel, platinum and diamond mines extract CO2 from the air to create inert carbonates which are then buried. Understanding the weathering mechanism and how changes may be required to the tailings deposition process without impacting either tailings stability or water use requires a team of specialists, which we have.
In summary, the mining industry has embraced the challenge to reduce emissions and is investing significant amounts of money and effort in new solutions. The “low hanging fruit” of switching from coal and diesel to renewables are being plucked. However, this will not achieve the targets mining companies have set themselves and further efforts are planned. SRK is ready to play its part in helping clients evaluate the opportunities to evolve their operations and reduce emissions.

NOAA has released its global climate summary for January 2015 today. You can read the full analysis at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/2015/1. The latest summary shows that for the Earth as a whole, the average temperature was the second warmest since records began in 1880. However, the distribution of temperatures was varied as usual. The map below shows the global anomalies from the long-term average and indicates that the eastern US was one of the few areas that was colder than average. The record-setting warm ocean temperatures along the West Coast and east of the US may have helped set up the high-amplitude wave pattern which has brought cold air to most of the eastern US this year.
At the same time, NOAA noted that the Antarctic ice cover is at record-setting high levels. Since it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, this may be due to increased melting off of the Antarctic continent or may reflect the unusually cold ocean temperatures that you can see south of South America. In the Arctic, the sea ice extent was the third smallest since records began in 1979.

By Javis Ogden
The NFL has unwittingly inserted itself into the soup du jour that is kneeling for the national anthem. Much to its chagrin, America’s most popular sport now has to participate in a national conversation: Is kneeling during the presentation of the anthem disrespectful, or is it a needed – albeit uncomfortable – measure that must be taken to force dialog concerning racial inequality for primarily black, but also brown people?
That aside, let us not forget the impetus for this nationwide clash. During the 2016 NFL preseason, then San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was noticed sitting during the national anthem in a photograph that was tweeted by Jennifer Lee Chan of Niners Nation on August 26th. The point of the photo actually had nothing to do with Kaepernick. It was a snapshot taken of the team before kickoff at a meaningless preseason game. But when media outlets picked up the image and noticed that he wasn’t standing with the rest of the team, a story began to brew.
Eventually, it was confirmed, first by the team and then by him, that him sitting was intentional. He indicated that he was doing so as a show of protest in lieu of recent incidents of apparent police brutality against black people. After the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, themselves incidents that were not the first of their kind recently, Kaepernick decided he could no longer remain silent. His exact words to NFL Network: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” He said far more, but you get the picture.
Fast-forward past the season, and speculation begins to mount that because Kaepernick decided to be so bold as to ask that America do right by black people, he might have jeopardized his career moving forward, given his status as a free agent. There is concern that teams would be unwilling to sign him because his “disrespect of the national anthem and the American flag” would fly in the face of the principals of white NFL owners who would then collude against Kaepernick and keep him out of the league. There was belief that he would be “blackballed” by the NFL.
Three weeks into the 2017 season and a reckless, ill-informed tweet from his girlfriend later, and it would appear that such was the case.
Naturally, Kaepernick not having a roster spot is fodder for the pro-Kaepernick, social justice warrior contingent who is screaming that he is being blackballed by the league; and you know what? They’re half-right. Kaepernick is being blackballed, but it isn’t by the NFL. He’s being blackballed by the people. YOU are blackballing Colin Kaepernick. NFL fans have no one to blame for Kaepernick’s inability to be signed by an NFL team but themselves. Aside from those on the side of the aisle who align with Kaepernick’s ideals, it is the people who have decided that Kaepernick has to go. Not the rich owners, and here’s why.
Ladies and gentlemen, with regards to the owners, the situation with Kaepernick isn’t about blackballed versus not blackballed, American pride versus anti-Americanism, racism versus non-racism, or any other dichotomy of good versus evil that one can conjure to describe what is at play with him specifically not being signed (or at least it isn’t about that on a macro level). This is about what it will always be about for NFL franchises: the bottom line. NFL owners operate in such a way that every decision that they make has to work toward the upward tick of revenue, exposure, and positive public relations – the three axioms of pro sports business, if you will.
Those three factors work in concert with one another, and with no particular hierarchical nature. Bad PR facilitates bad exposure, which leads to declining revenues. A decline in revenues can lead to firings and hirings that result in bad press and bad exposure, and so on and so forth. There’s no order to how they work. Rather, all have to work symbiotically with one another in order to facilitate the operability of a stable, money-making franchise. When one axiom within an NFL franchise is compromised, the whole thing comes tumbling down, and Kaepernick is the living embodiment of such a compromise.
The reason why fans are the people responsible for keeping Kaepernick out of the NFL is because they are the ultimate arbiters for the three axioms. Owners aren’t reluctant to sign Kaepernick because he stands for something that is diametrically opposed to their sensibilities. They’re reluctant to sign someone who is diametrically opposed to the sensibilities of their franchises’ fanbase.
They’re constantly involved in meetings and focus groups to ensure that a decision that they’re contemplating won’t have an adverse effect on their fanbase because they know that a bad PR relationship with their fans will lead to lost ticket sales, lost season-ticket holders, lost concessions, and ultimately a loss of corporate sponsors. Put those losses together in a vacuum, and you have what equates to a lost franchise entirely. A BAD business investment.
At this juncture, the majority of NFL fans have spoken; and they want no part of these anthem protests at their beloved games. Although they may be silent compared to the noisey social justice and equality crowd, the “stand for the anthem” crowd remains the quiet conservative majority who, above the owners themselves, would never be able to reconcile the presence of Colin Kaepernick on their team’s roster with any positive impact that he may have on team performance. Owners know this. They know that signing Kaepernick is going to be followed by serious backlash from fans.
What Kaepernick supporters and fighters for equality actually want is for owners to be courageous enough to sign him despite that knowledge because it is for the greater good. The problem with this is owners don’t operate off of intrinsic motivators like right and wrong. They operate off of what will make their product more perpetually viable and what will position them to make as many lucrative corporate relationships as possible. Widespread negative fanfare by signing a polarizing fringe quarterback isn’t going to accomplish that.
I don’t want to miss the opportunity to address the nature of this argument as a generalization, for there are certainly owners who may indeed fall under the blackball umbrella.
Are there owners who are offended by what Kaepernick did and don’t want to sign him on principal because they don’t like his form of protest? Certainly there are. See New York Jets owner and Donald Trump supporter Woody Johnson as an example. I’d even be willing to acknowledge that there are those among the owners who not only hate his form of protest, but inherently disagree with the overarching message of racial equality because they like the way things are; that there are those among them who are latent racists.
What I am challenging is the idea of clandestine collusion on the part of the owners as a collective to keep him from being signed. That is not at play here.
This is a case of suppliers being reticent to make a decision that will ward off their consumer base. This is about economics; and since so many people have taken an affront to what Kaepernick did, there isn’t an owner on either side of the isle who will take the chance on giving him a shot. It has even become too polarizing an issue for them to weigh whether his contributions would be worth the effort. For proof of this, see the Jacksonville Jaguars and aforementioned New York Jets, both whom trot out mediocre quarterback play week after week because doing so is a better business proposition than giving Kaepernick a serious look.
The fatal flaw inherent in those who argue on behalf of racial equality and social justice is that they have a propensity to believe that their war is one that can be waged on any front. They believe that because Kaepernick did what he did, the fight for what’s right can be taken to the doorstep of the NFL and successfully fought. This is not true.
Unfortunately, the NFL is an American institution that is fundamentally rooted in conservative sensibilities. It’s constituency might not say much on Twitter and Instagram, but they will show up to the polls to elect Donald Trump, and they will make it clear that kneeling for the national anthem is in poor taste in their estimation. This doesn’t make them right, but as the majority influence, thy will be done.
Trust when I say that if the NFL owners knew that bringing Colin Kaepernick onboard wouldn’t yield widespread contempt, he would already be on a team. Even if the fear was only mild, and they believed that him producing wins would quell the noise, he would have at least been given ample opportunities to show and prove.
What they do know, however, is quite the opposite: that signing the beleaguered QB would be a bad business decision. It is because of this that it is fans who are truly at fault for blackballing Colin Kaepernick. Perhaps you’re not among this group. Perhaps you are an NFL fan who is of the belief that the NFL has gotten together to keep Kaepernick out. What you need to understand, however, is that just because you’re right, and just because you’re the loudest, doesn’t mean that you’re the majority.
The majority have spoken, and they want no part of him on their Sundays. How many of these conversations have you had with those whom you consider friends? Look to your left and right. You might be sitting next to a certified blackballer and didn’t even know it.
Does this make sense? Is it crazy? Do you agree with me that fans have the biggest role to play in Kaepernick regaining his stature as a viable quarterback, cause aside? Or am I missing the boat and the NFL owners have indeed colluded to keep him grounded? If you think I’m off, let me know how.

It began with a samba in my chest,
a crow beating its wings
in furious tempo against my rib bones,
an ardent performance that plucked
the breath from my throat.
I ignored him,
blamed the dance on spicy food
and opened a second bottle of wine.
He returned a week later with friends,
a murderous crew
determined to get my attention.
Vengeful beaks tore
at the wires of my heart,
a rampage that shot bolts of electricity
through my back.
I shut my eyes to ward off fear,
a feeble barrier
that crumbled beneath
the fluorescence of panic.
Terror crept around my neck
like the blade of a scythe,
no end to the frenzied dance in sight.
One hour bled into two, then three,
me frantically pacing over the splintered floor,
shaking my hands at the earth,
as if the action would dispel the demon
trapped and blooming in my chest.
I looked at my husband,
helplessness welling up in his eyes,
and told him it was time to go.
The hospital was across town,
a thirty -minute drive
or more, if there was traffic.
There was always traffic.
We clambered into the car,
willing it to creep down Sunset Boulevard,
the best our old green pickup could do.
The truck was a gift from my father,
an offering to keep me safe.
I smiled and pressed my palms
against the chaos in my heart.
My father had also given me the crow,
a time bomb wrapped in a parcel of his blood.
Middle age warps the clock,
folds flesh into my belly
and demolishes my sex drive.
I am a hostage of passing seasons
that crack lines into my face,
pushing unforgiving fingers
through memory and sleep.
I wake up on fire,
a chaos of hormones
burning my skin from the inside,
pooling in the hollow of my throat.
The pillow is saturated
with the reminder
that I am barren, undesirable.
I throw off the stifling covers
and feel my way into the night,
an inferno driving heat
through the tips of my fingers.
Maybe I’ll write a poem
about the ways time
tears women apart.
I keep my ear plugs in
to quiet the ache of the city,
and bury myself in a cocoon of words,
settling into the familiar company of ghosts.
A welcome chill from the blades of a fan
creeps over my shoulders,
until I become so cold,
my fingers shake,
and all I crave
is the warmth of a well-loved blanket.

I just received this and it worked well for me. It works well for small gaps (around windows, between studs), but probably not the right tool for larger gaps (>1" or 2"). If used in larger gaps, it works OK if it is layered in. Spray a little and wait for it to set, then layer another on top, etc... This is pretty much noted by the seller. It is pretty much exactly as described and priced right, so 5 stars. If you need to do larger gaps, buy 2 part.
Heat which is created elsewhere that is transported by means of a fluid, such as water or in our case air. Spray foam insulation's most important attribute is the ability to air seal creating a custom airtight envelope within the building structure. The added benefit to air sealing is the ability to block convective heat transfer from interior to exterior during heating months and vice versa during cooling months, as the heat cannot escape through gaps in the buildings envelope without the aid of air movement from infiltration as a means of transport. https://www.youtube.com/v/ggLAUsiuI_o&feature=kp
SPF application is fast and effective. Unlike traditional insulation types like fiberglass, which require a separate air-sealing step, spray foam can air seal and insulate a structure in one step, thus keeping the project moving forward. Combining these steps coupled with a spray-on application decreases installation time and delivers the ability to fit into hard-to-reach places, like eaves, odd-sized cavities, and rims. In addition to installation efficiencies, spray foam can provide excellent thermal, acoustical and indoor air quality performance in any climate.

An average price about $1,905 to insulate a standard home. This is more than half the price to install other sorts of insulation materials like the fiberglass insulation. Be reminded that the price of labor in installing these insulators cost more than the insulator material itself since you need to rely on professionals in putting in the open cell foam insulator.
This depends on the geographic location, insulation, and cost of electricity. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), and several roofing material manufacturers have computer programs that can estimate the savings.

I had a hole in the drywall in our bathroom that was about 2 in x 5 in that I used Great Stuff to fix. I am impressed with the characteristics of the filler. It filled the hole completely in a few seconds of application. I will warn anyone using it though to make sure you don't fill the hole entirely flush to the wall because this stuff continues expanding after you apply it. I didn't think about that but no big deal really because you can sand it which is exactly what I did, and then applied spacial and paint and it is almost as good as new. For the price this was a heck of a deal because I only used a tiny amount and now am left with nearly a full can. I guess I will have to find somewhere else to use it now.

How Much Does It Cost For Spray Foam Insulation
There are several types of reflective roof coatings that impart varied reflectance rates/ values. Typically, the reflective coatings are what are commonly referred to as white coatings and there are also aluminum coatings typically used with asphalt. Highly reflective white roof coatings are typically comprised of acrylics, urethanes, silicones, SBS, SEBS, and other types.

It may be easiest to use closed cell spray foam within the areas of the joists. My question is when spray foam is used in this situation do I need to worry about how the joist members may be thermal bridges? It is not common to provide a little bit of rigid insulation to protect the joist members? The additional layer of outboard insulation will require an extra layer of plywood above the insulation which will add to cost.

Just shut it down D Rose.
No one is going to hold it against you (well, maybe a few people, but they will get over it) if you decide not to play this season.
It is clear, mentally he is not in the right mindframe to come back on the court, so what is the point? The Bulls are unlikely to be a legitimate challenger in the playoffs with or without Rose.
Since it is so late in the season, they might have a better chance without him, since he would be so rusty. Instead of these teases every day, I think it is time to just let it go and come back strong in 2013-14.
Thibs said D. Rose is “close” to a return but still doesn’t quite feel ready. Said only he knows when he’ll be good to go. Won’t speculate.

State officials almost certainly can impose whatever quarantine rules they want and the federal government probably can, too, although the law in this area has been largely dormant since widespread quarantines during the 1918 flu epidemic.
The U.S. Supreme Court has extensive precedents governing when mentally ill patients can be confined against their will, for example. But the law covering the mentally ill assumes there is evidence patients are a danger to themselves or somebody else. That’s not much help with quarantines, since the whole point is to isolate people before they have manifested the signs of the disease and to release them when it is clear they aren’t a threat.
“The truth is, nobody knows much of anything about this because the modern case law postdates quarantines,” said Michael Dorf, an expert on constitutional law and civil liberties at Cornell Law School.
Some have questioned whether the federal government can interfere with state efforts to quarantine potential Ebola carriers. New York, New Jersey and Illinois have imposed 21-day quarantines on people who have had direct contact with Ebola patients in West Africa, leading the Obama administration to complain that the rules may discourage U.S. aid workers from helping fight the epidemic in Africa.
States unquestionably have the power under the U.S. Constitution to impose reasonable quarantines to protect public safety, Dorf said. The Constitution leaves most such police powers to the states, and unless state officials do something unreasonable like locking up political opponents or members of a racial minority on the pretext of fighting Ebola, he said, they are free to take appropriate measures.
The word “quarantine” isn’t in the Constitution, but Article I refers to state powers to enact and enforce “inspection laws.” And in the landmark 1824 case Gibbons v. Ogden, striking down a New York law regulating steamboats, Chief Justice John Marshall described laws “most advantageously exercised by the States themselves “ include “inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description.”
Federal powers are less clear but Washington probably can do as much as the states to control the spread of a disease that doesn’t respect state or national boundaries.
“There’s no question the federal government can implement all kinds of quarantines at the border,” Dorf said. That authority probably extends to controlling the movement of people within the country because of its obvious impact on interstate commerce, he said. Indeed, federal law authorizes the Surgeon General to adopt quarantines to prevent the spread of communicable disease into the country or across state lines.
What the federal government may not do is command the states to implement a quarantine, Dorf said. The 1997 decision Printz v. New York prohibited the feds from commandeering local police departments to enforce a federal system of background checks on handgun purchasers. Justice John Paul Stevens protested, in a dissent, that the decision would leave the federal government powerless to confront an emergency like “an epidemic” requiring a broad response before federal personnel can swing into action. But he was overruled, so Dorf said the federal government may not have the power to order the states to enact quarantines.
What are the constitutional limits on quarantines? If a police officer walks up to your door tomorrow and says “we’re taking you in,” because of the visa stamp on your passport indicating a recent trip to Sierra Leone, what can you do?
Not much, Dorf said. There’s always habeas corpus, “the Great Writ,” which gives courts the power to inquire into the legality of someone’s detention. But the standards for slapping somebody in quarantine are necessarily broad and haven’t been tested for decades because there haven’t been any epidemics to force the question.
“You don’t have an absolute right” to avoid quarantine, he said, “although you probably have a right to challenge any particular quarantine.”
Indeed, the American Civil Liberties Union considered filing suit to challenge the quarantine of nurse Kaci Hickox while she was being held in New Jersey. The case became moot when Hickox was cleared to leave, but University of Houston law professor Josh Blackman, over at his blog, notes the irony of the ACLU’s opposition to the quarantine. In order to win, Blackman says, the ACLU would have to get past Jacobson v. Massachusetts, a 1905 decision that upheld the state’s power to forcefully inoculate people. The ACLU cited Jacobsen favorably when it was arguing in favor of Obamacare’s restrictions on individual rights, Blackman says, but it would have to abandon that support since mandatory quarantines are far less of an imposition on individual rights than mandatory vaccinations.
The closest analogy to quarantine law, Dorf said, may be mental health laws that allow people to be locked up if they are dangerous to themselves or others. But the Supreme Court has held those laws require the authorities to establish the danger by clear and convincing evidence, which might be too high a standard for a disease like Ebola. Ebola is believed to be spread only by bodily fluids, and it is believed to be communicable only when patients have obvious symptoms like fever and diarrhea. But can an overly cautious state official decide that the public needs to be protected against anybody who’s set foot in West Africa in the last three weeks? Even a 1-in-1,000 chance may meet the standard of public safety, even if it doesn’t meet the clear and convincing evidence standard for confining a mental patient.
The biggest limit to aggressive quarantine rules may be practicality. Make them too stringent and people will just lie about their exposure history. Beyond that, Dorf said, “the courts will likely be deferential to quarantine authority.”

Police Brutality and Black Lives Matter Protests: Portrayal in the Mainstream Media and the Effects on Audience Perception examines newspaper coverage of the #BlackLivesMatter protests following the police killings of Baltimore resident Freddie Gray in 2015 and Korryn Gaines in 2016. The thesis seeks to analyze newspaper articles written by journalists of mainstream presses and Black American presses to interrogate the audience's perception of #BlackLivesMatter protests. In other words, how is the audience's perception about #BlackLivesMatter protests cultivated after reading the news? Through qualitative research, findings determined that The Washington Post and The New York Times occasionally published articles associating unlawful acts with African American protestors without properly contextualizing the #BlackLivesMatter movement's intentional civil disobedience. The thesis utilizes Critical Race Theory to address the narrow analysis of newspaper content to ascertain The Baltimore Afro and The Washington Informer's approach to the protest coverage alongside the mainstream newspapers. Alongside discussing acts of rebellion among protesters, The Baltimore Afro and The Washington Informer, independent Black newspapers known as "The Black Press," published interviews with community members about how they were personally affected by the protests, providing a humanitarian touch to the news story that suggests the subtle ways Black newspapers are intentional about the concerns of their readership. Conversely, among the mainstream newspapers and The Black Press, what is lacking in their coverage is a dedication to African American women victims of police brutality and the protests in their memory. Therefore, this thesis argues for the necessity for journalists to accurately depict #BlackLivesMatter protests and the intentionality of African American protests, particularly when creating newsworthy narratives that affect audience perception.

The entertainment industry has received a lot of backlash lately for the lack of support rearing it’s ugly head amongst the artists. A lot of big names in the industry who are appalled by the “pull him down” syndrome is our very own outspoken Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur, Yvonne Nelson.
Yvonne Nelson who could not fathom why a lot of hate is projected in the industry took to her Twitter page to express her disappointment.
according to Yvonne Nelson, instead of discrediting Shatta Wale’s nomination in the Grammy’s, he should be rather celebrated for putting Ghana on the Global market.
Yvonne Nelson is not the only one against the issue under discussion.
The likes of Fuse ODG spoke strongly against the non support meted out to Shatta Wale after he posted on his Twitter page of his Grammy’s nomination on the ticket of Beyonce’s nomination. He quizzed why Ghanaians hated supporting their own and rather pledge their allegiance to foreigners.
Yvonne Nelson wrote;
The HATE in this industry..Shatta Wale has put GH on the map!!! Y’all should be happy for him. I can’t believe even radio discussions are trying to discredit him, what at all should one do?? Ghana is proud of you SHATTA! Congrats”.
It is about time the disunity in the entertainment industry is brought to an abrupt end else the future generations are doomed.
