[WISPA] Toledo Stoplight Festival

2010-07-02 Thread Mike
Just so you know that besides running a WISP, community involvement is very
important. Mark your calendars!



SPECIAL - Toledo, Iowa - July 2, 2010

The stage is set.  The preparations are made.  There is a festival coming to
Toledo. 

Friday July 9, 2010, on the Tama County Courthouse lawn, in downtown Toledo,
the Toledo Stoplight Festival will unfold in conjunction with the Toledo
Farmers Market and the annual Tama Toledo Chamber of Commerce Barbecue
Cook-off.

When the Farmers Market whistle blows at 5:00 PM, the festivities will
begin, and continue until 8:00.

By that time the barbecue artists will be ready for you to sample their
creations.  Besides the samples, you will be given a ballot to vote for the
best fare.  A cook-off plate will cost you $2.00 and will be reserved for
the first 200 guests.

At 5:15, Tama County Cattlemen's Association and other vendors will be ready
to serve.  Four Happy Chaps, a local band will take the stage for an hour of
rousing music.  The Toledo Fire Department will host a kid's water fight
north of the Square.  Many other kid's activities will begin at this time,
including a bounce castle, face painting and washable tattoos.

At 5:30 Toledo Christian ATA will provide the guests with a Tae Kwon Do
demonstration.

At 6:00 the Sandhill Kid's Nickel Scramble will begin.

At 6:15 The Chamber of Commerce will have a tribute.

At 6:30, until festival close at 8:00, Mr. Babor's Neighbors, a popular band
from Des Moines will take the stage.

At 7:00 the Barbecue Cook-off winner will be announced.

Commemorative tee-shirts sporting the professionally created festival logo
will be available at the festival for $10.00. 

Organizers are billing the festival as a night of fun on the Square, for the
entire family.  Guests are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs or blankets
and settle in for an enjoyable evening.  Guests may bring their own food and
refreshments, or buy from the various vendors who will be set-up around the
Square.

The Toledo Stoplight has been a fixture in Downtown Toledo since October of
1949.  Similar to many city center stoplights of that era, the Toledo
Stoplight has been the source of controversy over the years.  There are
those who would remove it in the name of progress, and those who wish to
maintain the stoplight for posterity.

The Stoplight has been upgraded over the years, and currently has high tech,
multi-element LED indicators skillfully hidden in the vintage fixture.  The
pole, mechanism and lights sit high on a concrete pedestal which was
recently re-poured and painted.

Mark your calendars, pack your blanket.  You are in for a wonderful night of
entertainment in Toledo.

  SPECIAL - Toledo, Iowa - July 2, 2010
 
  The stage is set.  The preparations are made.  There is a festival 
  coming to Toledo.
 
  Friday July 9, 2010, on the Tama County Courthouse lawn, in downtown 
  Toledo, the Toledo Stoplight Festival will unfold in conjunction 
  with the Toledo Farmers Market and the annual Tama Toledo Chamber of 
  Commerce Barbecue Cook-off.
 
  When the Farmers Market whistle blows at 5:00 PM, the festivities
 will
  begin, and continue until 8:00.
 
  By that time the barbecue artists will be ready for you to sample 
  their creations.  Besides the samples, you will be given a ballot to 
  vote for the best fare.  A cook-off plate will cost you $2.00 and
 will
  be reserved for the first 200 guests.
 
  At 5:15, Tama County Cattlemen's Association and other vendors will
 be
  ready to serve.  Four Happy Chaps, a local band will take the stage 
  for an hour of rousing music.  The Toledo Fire Department will host 
  a kid's water fight north of the Square.  Many other kid's 
  activities will begin at this time, including a bounce castle, face 
  painting and
 washable tattoos.
 
  At 5:30 Toledo Christian ATA will provide the guests with a Tae Kwon 
  Do demonstration.
 
  At 6:00 the Sandhill Kid's Nickel Scramble will begin.
 
  At 6:15 The Chamber of Commerce will have a tribute.
 
  At 6:30, until festival close at 8:00, Mr. Babor's Neighbors, a 
  popular band from Des Moines will take the stage.
 
  At 7:00 the Barbecue Cook-off winner will be announced.
 
  Commemorative tee-shirts sporting the professionally created 
  festival logo will be available at the festival for $10.00.
 
  Organizers are billing the festival as a night of fun on the Square, 
  for the entire family.  Guests are encouraged to bring their lawn 
  chairs or blankets and settle in for an enjoyable evening.  Guests
 may
  bring their own food and refreshments, or buy from the various
 vendors
  who will be set-up around the Square.
 
  The Toledo Stoplight has been a fixture in Downtown Toledo since 
  October of 1949.  Similar to many city center stoplights of that 
  era, the Toledo Stoplight has been the source of controversy over 
  the years.  There are those who would remove it in the name of 
  progress, and those who wish to maintain the stoplight for posterity.
 
  The Stoplight has been upgraded over the years, and currently has
 high
  tech, multi-element LED indicators skillfully hidden in the vintage 
  fixture.  The pole, mechanism and lights sit high on a concrete 
  pedestal which was recently re-poured and painted.
 
  Mark your calendars, pack your blanket.  You are in for a wonderful 
  night of entertainment in Toledo.

Was just informed by our Senator's Aid that this has not been decided yet.
If it is approved half of the funds would come out of the NTIA and the other
RUS.  This would still leave the RUS fund @ $1.5B.

And yes Robert, I hate to see tax dollars spent on a war.

 Since their beam forming is dynamic, I would expect it to work very well
 in that environment.

As Ruckus beamforming is based on selecting a receiver instead of
combining the signals, it should indeed deal with ducting but not too
well with multi-path.

 No Beam forming is expected from Ubiquity... just MIMO...

If Quantenna, Celeno or the other chip makers come up with a
cost-effective 802.11n beamforming solution, and they claim they will,
may be UBNT rethinks this issue.

Chuck, were these other radios 802.11n?

I ask because pre 802.11n, multipath hurt the performance, as
802.11a/b/g were switched diversity (i.e. take the *best* signal and
ignore the other ones). Now that the 802.11n standard has MRC, all of
those signals are combined automagically (in theory, of course).

So, yes...Ruckus has the reputation of making some kickass antennas to
deal with multiplath, but I'm wondering if they can still maintain
that edge now that the standard is solidified by IEEE.  Put
differently, how smart are their antennas now that the standard does
a lot of what they were bragging about before?  Is their secret
sauce now simply a commodity?

[WISPA] Happy Birthday to US!

2010-07-02 Thread RickG
Everyone please have a safe  sane 4th!

- Personal Liberty Digest - http://www.personalliberty.com -

They Signed For Us
Posted By Chip Wood On July 2, 2010 @ 12:01 am In Chip Wood, Liberty,
Personal Liberty Articles | 53 Comments

Happy Anniversary To Us

Tomorrow will mark a full year of Straight Talk columns for Personal
Liberty Digest™. How time flies when you’re having fun! As many of you
know, I also write two other, shorter features for Personal Liberty
Digest™ every week—Chip Shots, which appears at the bottom of Friday’s
columns, and This Week in History, which appears at the bottom of
Wednesday’s.

As it happens, my very first piece for Personal Liberty Digest™ was
about the incredible men who pledged their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor to secure liberty for us. So it seems only
appropriate to repeat that message again today, as we prepare to
celebrate our 234th Independence Day. Happy July 4!

Every schoolchild in America knows why we celebrate the Fourth of
July. Flags and fireworks commemorate the day we declared our
independence from Britain.

On July 4, 1776, after months of heated debate, representatives of the
Continental Congress voted unanimously that, “These United Colonies
are and of right ought to be Free and Independent States.”

Thirteen colonies voted to become something new in history—the United
States of America. Now, all they had to do was win their independence
from a government that would consider them traitors.

Fifty-six men bravely affixed their signatures to the Declaration of
Independence. What sort of men were they? And what became of them?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists, 11 were merchants and nine were
farmers or plantation owners. They were well-educated men of means.
All of them had a great deal to lose when they voted to defy what was
then the most powerful nation on earth. Yet they willingly risked
everything when they pledged to each other “our Lives, our Fortunes,
and our sacred Honor.”

As I said, all of us can explain why we celebrate Independence Day on
July 4th. But how many of us can name even a handful of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence? How much do we know, really, about
the men who risked their lives and everything they owned in the cause
of freedom?

Because the story of the signers is so inspiring, we’ve arranged a
special treat for you today—a free copy of a wonderful little book
called They Signed For Us.

Half a century ago two patriotic ladies in the Midwest wanted to help
others learn more about the remarkable men who signed the Declaration.
Merle Sinclair and Annabel Douglas McArthur wrote a delightful book
about the events of that time, including a history of each of the
signers. They called it, They Signed For Us.

At the end of today’s column, you’ll find a link that will take you to
a free copy of the book. You may read it online or download it and
print your own copy. The file also includes a list of all of the
signers and the states they represented, plus the complete text of the
Declaration of Independence.

To whet your appetite a bit, here’s an excerpt from They Signed For Us.

“SUDDENLY THE BIG BELL in the State House steeple pealed joyously. The
appointed signal! Cheers rose from the waiting crowds.

“‘Proclaim liberty throughout the land….’

“Cannon boomed, drums rolled. Church bells rang, sounding the death
knell of British domination!

“News of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence spread like
wildfire. Ready messengers leaped into their saddles to ride and
spread the word. The Declaration had been ordered printed on a single
large sheet, ‘45.5 x 37.5 cm.,’ or approximately 18 inches by 15
inches. These broadsides were distributed with all possible speed, to
be read in the provincial assemblies, pulpits, market places, and army
camps.”

The story continues:

“On July 8, the Liberty Bell summoned citizens of Philadelphia to the
State House yard for a public reading of the document. Colonel John
Nixon mounted a high platform and spoke the noble lines in a strong,
clear voice. The crowd, now hushed, listened intently throughout.

“ ‘…for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the
protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.’”

It was almost a month later that the Declaration was engrossed on
parchment and ready for signing by the delegates to the Continental
Congress. Members gathered on Aug. 2 for the ceremony.

The only person who had signed the Declaration on July 4 was John
Hancock, a delegate from Boston who had been elected president of the
Continental Congress. He wrote his signature in large, bold letters
and as he did, in a reference to the near-sightedness of the British
king, he declared, “There! John Bull can read my name without
spectacles and may now double his reward of £500 for my head. That is
my defiance.”

As the delegates gathered around a desk to sign the Declaration,
William Emery,

Yes.  Happy birthday to US!  As in us, a collective people.  But,
unfortunately, tomorrow I will have to endure yet another fourth being

Happy Anniversary To Us

Tomorrow will mark a full year of Straight Talk columns for Personal Liberty
Digest™. How time flies when you’re having fun! As many of you know, I also
write two other, shorter features for Personal Liberty Digest™ every
week—Chip Shots, which appears at the bottom of Friday’s columns, and This
Week in History, which appears at the bottom of Wednesday’s.

As it happens, my very first piece for Personal Liberty Digest™ was about
the incredible men who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor to secure liberty for us. So it seems only appropriate to repeat that
message again today, as we prepare to celebrate our 234th Independence Day.
Happy July 4!

Every schoolchild in America knows why we celebrate the Fourth of July.
Flags and fireworks commemorate the day we declared our independence from
Britain.

On July 4, 1776, after months of heated debate, representatives of the
Continental Congress voted unanimously that, “These United Colonies are and
of right ought to be Free and Independent States.”

Thirteen colonies voted to become something new in history—the United States
of America. Now, all they had to do was win their independence from a
government that would consider them traitors.

Fifty-six men bravely affixed their signatures to the Declaration of
Independence. What sort of men were they? And what became of them?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists, 11 were merchants and nine were
farmers or plantation owners. They were well-educated men of means.
All of them had a great deal to lose when they voted to defy what was then
the most powerful nation on earth. Yet they willingly risked everything when
they pledged to each other “our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

As I said, all of us can explain why we celebrate Independence Day on July
4th. But how many of us can name even a handful of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence? How much do we know, really, about the men who
risked their lives and everything they owned in the cause of freedom?

Because the story of the signers is so inspiring, we’ve arranged a special
treat for you today—a free copy of a wonderful little book called They
Signed For Us.

Half a century ago two patriotic ladies in the Midwest wanted to help others
learn more about the remarkable men who signed the Declaration.
Merle Sinclair and Annabel Douglas McArthur wrote a delightful book about
the events of that time, including a history of each of the signers. They
called it, They Signed For Us.

At the end of today’s column, you’ll find a link that will take you to a
free copy of the book. You may read it online or download it and print your
own copy. The file also includes a list of all of the signers and the states
they represented, plus the complete text of the Declaration of Independence.

To whet your appetite a bit, here’s an excerpt from They Signed For Us.

“SUDDENLY THE BIG BELL in the State House steeple pealed joyously. The
appointed signal! Cheers rose from the waiting crowds.

“‘Proclaim liberty throughout the land….’

“Cannon boomed, drums rolled. Church bells rang, sounding the death knell of
British domination!

Bob, I agree with you to a point. It is US, as a collective. But, only
one group has offered and continues to offer the ultimate sacrifice.
Many of our great leasers such as Washington was military. They didn't
just the talk, they walked the walk. I did not take the opportunity to
serve, but after visiting Washington DC and seeing all those grave
markers, I realize I do not know the meaning of true sacrifice. Just
because they don't own the 4th, doesn't mean they shouldn't get
priority. They are the only ones who actually fight against tyranny
and for freedom. Dont let others tell you differently.

Do you have any law enforcement, EMS, Fire or Military experience in  
your background?
While working 9/11 - I lost many friends.   While I survived with only  
cancer (and a bunch of weight gain) much of our platoon of EMS and  
Fire fighters got much worse.

My children have had Tumors (the ones born after 9/11 and after my  
service there... )

Last I checked the parade in town had both the VFW, PBA, Fire Dept,  
Churches, Bikes with kids riding them, and yes - EVEN just as you call  
it EQUAL AMERICANS on the streets walking.

Please don't take this as if I am attacking you - but I am wondering  
if you have paid any sacrifice towards the freedoms you hold so dear...
Not saying that you have not - not done anything either...  It was  
however through Blood, Sacrifice, Tears, Death, and yes ... EVEN WAR
that our freedoms were given to us.

It is through Blood, Sweat, Sacrifice, Tears, Death - and yes EVEN WAR  
that they have been maintained and guaranteed...

The ultimate sacrifice.  The freedom riders, the miners and families at
Matawan West Virginia, the protesters at Kent State.  These people ALSO made
the ultimate sacrifice, they died for what they felt was right.  These are
the ones I also feel should be remembered and thanked and if you get down to
it, they took it upon themselves to fight for our freedoms, to fight for us.
In reality, these are the people who are the epitome of Americanism more
than the military for these stood up in defense of the moment with not
thought to safety but in pure defense of an ideal.  No one ordered them to
do a thing, they just did what needed to be done and died for US.  No one
should get priority.  This is to be for all of us, at least for me.

We all are supposed to fight for all of us.

 Liberty Digest™. How time flies when you’re having fun! As many of you 
 know, I also write two other, shorter features for Personal Liberty 
 Digest™ every week—Chip Shots, which appears at the bottom of Friday’s 
 columns, and This Week in History, which appears at the bottom of
Wednesday’s.

 As it happens, my very first piece for Personal Liberty Digest™ was 
 about the incredible men who pledged their lives, their fortunes and 
 their sacred honor to secure liberty for us. So it seems only 
 appropriate to repeat that message again today, as we prepare to celebrate
our 234th Independence Day.
 Happy July 4!

 Every schoolchild in America knows why we celebrate the Fourth of July.
 Flags and fireworks commemorate the day we declared our independence 
 from Britain.

 On July 4, 1776, after months of heated debate, representatives of the 
 Continental Congress voted unanimously that, “These United Colonies 
 are and of right ought to be Free and Independent States.”

 Thirteen colonies voted to become something new in history—the United 
 States of America. Now, all they had to do was win their independence 
 from a government that would consider them traitors.

 Fifty-six men bravely affixed their signatures to the Declaration of 
 Independence. What sort of men were they? And what became of them?

 Twenty-four were lawyers and

Doesn't matter.  Score keeping isn’t necessary.  The fourth is to be for the
country as a whole.  To celebrate our independence,.  In this we are to be
equal.  Is one American better than another American?  I think not.
Celebration of independence in which we are all to play a part.  Too much
Glenn Beck where separation and categorization of Americans happens.  We are
one.  One country and one people no matter the sacrifices and no matter the
political views.  We are Americans and for that we should celebrate.  

That's my point.  We are all a part of it.

Bob - out of interest...

Do you have any law enforcement, EMS, Fire or Military experience in your
background?
While working 9/11 - I lost many friends.   While I survived with only  
cancer (and a bunch of weight gain) much of our platoon of EMS and Fire
fighters got much worse.

My children have had Tumors (the ones born after 9/11 and after my service
there... )

Last I checked the parade in town had both the VFW, PBA, Fire Dept,
Churches, Bikes with kids riding them, and yes - EVEN just as you call it
EQUAL AMERICANS on the streets walking.

Please don't take this as if I am attacking you - but I am wondering if you
have paid any sacrifice towards the freedoms you hold so dear...
Not saying that you have not - not done anything either...  It was however
through Blood, Sacrifice, Tears, Death, and yes ... EVEN WAR that our
freedoms were given to us.

It is through Blood, Sweat, Sacrifice, Tears, Death - and yes EVEN WAR that
they have been maintained and guaranteed...

Blessings,

 Bob, I agree with you to a point. It is US, as a collective. But, only 
 one group has offered and continues to offer the ultimate sacrifice.
 Many of our great leasers such as Washington was military. They didn't 
 just the talk, they walked the walk. I did not take the opportunity to 
 serve, but after visiting Washington DC and seeing all those grave 
 markers, I realize I do not know the meaning of true sacrifice. Just 
 because they don't own the 4th, doesn't mean they shouldn't get

 and for freedom. Dont let others tell you differently.

Bob, I hope my previous post didnt come off negatively as it was not
meant to be that way. I'm just hoping your thoughts about the military
are more positive no matter how much you hear about them tomororow or
any other day. While its a wonderful thought to give all priority,
isnt that like saying we should all get prioirity parking when the
handicap places take up the first row? I'm not sure that works.
Furhtermore, there are plenty of people in the country who dont
deserve it. At any rate, my main point is that I dont think the fourth
was hijacked by the military but rather WE (US) chose to honor them on
on Independence Day because if it werent for THEM it wouldnt exist and
the right to celebrate it wouldnt exist either. So, they earned
everything coming to them on a silver platter. As for me and many
others, we have done nothing and do nothing to deserve the honor.

In regards to most of these folks - have you been to their town parades?

In PA - you cannot go to a coal mining town and not see a tribute to  
the miners.

We could say the same for the many who died building the large  
buildings in our cities.

Can you name others who are fighting - and putting it all on the line  
right now?

I can - Sheriff Depts across the nation,  Fire and EMS across the nation
Probation Officers,   Highway Workers (yup they die quite a bit) and  
yes our military.

Fayette County Hospital has representation in the parade, so do the  
churches, as does even McDonalds -
Community Action, and even Farmers - just check how much farm  
equipment goes in the parade...

so ... again - where do you find that there is less representation?

The ideal you speak of is the simple fact that while many in this  
nation think its okay to burn the flag we have those who will stand up  
and take a bullet defending the freedom to burn the flag.

In regards to the miners - they were doing it for a paycheck.  PERIOD.
I am willing to bet if you would like you can pay homage to those  
folks - and I think many here in Fayette County would join you.
I fail to see where they are getting priority.

In regards to Kent State - how many folks were injured in trying to  
protect Property and Lives?
Slashing a hose line on a firefighter in my opinion is nothing short  
of Attempted Murder.

Don't believe me - let me put you in a burning building without a  
water line   - Any other firefighters on the list care to comment?

In 1999 Kent University constructed an individual memorial for each of  
the students in the parking lot between Taylor and Prentice halls.  
Each of the four memorials is located on the exact spot where the  
student fell, mortally wounded.

Crosby Stills  Nash went to Kent State campus for the first time on  
May 4, 1997, where they performed the song for the May 4 Task Force's  
27th annual commemoration.
Something tells me that if your requesting that the military not be  
given any homage on the 4th - than I am right in stating since May 4th  
every year pays homage to the 4 who died @ Kent state...   its okay  
for us to ignore them on the 4th as well...

July 4th is about the Birth of a Nation - It is not about the Memory  
of those who Died in keeping its freedom.Thats a different Holiday  
called... Memorial Day.

If that is your argument I can agree - but the rest - seems like scatter

Ah, but it's not just the military that protects us.  The military protects
us on the foreign front but what about the domestic?  Think about that.  Who
protects your freedoms here?  Not the military.  I have 100% respect for the
military, many of family members were in the military.  But again, who
protects you HERE?  We all do, as a collective.  You see, there are 2 parts
to this.  Foreign and domestic.  In my part of the country, it's all
military with no mention of regular Americans who stand up and take it.
Hijacked, as in only one side being represented.  If we have no defense of
the Constitution and our freedoms domestically, then what?Who is here to
protect you?

That's what I'm saying.  There is more to our freedoms than the military.
We are the protection.  All of us.  Together.

 Bob, I agree with you to a point. It is US, as a collective. But, only 
 one group has offered and continues to offer the ultimate sacrifice.
 Many of our great leasers such as Washington was military. They didn't 
 just the talk, they walked the walk. I did not take the opportunity to 
 serve, but after visiting Washington DC and seeing all those grave 
 markers, I realize I do not know the meaning of true sacrifice. Just 
 because they don't own the 4th, doesn't mean they shouldn't get

 Fire fighters got much worse.

 My children have had Tumors (the ones born after 9/11 and after my

 Last I checked the parade in town had both the VFW, PBA, Fire Dept,

 Please don't take this as if I am attacking you - but I am wondering

 Not saying that you have not - not done anything either...  It was

In regards to most of these folks - have you been to their town parades?

In PA - you cannot go to a coal mining town and not see a tribute to the
miners.

We could say the same for the many who died building the large buildings in
our cities.

Can you name others who are fighting - and putting it all on the line right
now?

I can - Sheriff Depts across the nation,  Fire and EMS across the nation
Probation Officers,   Highway Workers (yup they die quite a bit) and  
yes our military.

Fayette County Hospital has representation in the parade, so do the
churches, as does even McDonalds - Community Action, and even Farmers - just
check how much farm equipment goes in the parade...

so ... again - where do you find that there is less representation?

The ideal you speak of is the simple fact that while many in this nation
think its okay to burn the flag we have those who will stand up and take a
bullet defending the freedom to burn the flag.

In regards to the miners - they were doing it for a paycheck.  PERIOD.
I am willing to bet if you would like you can pay homage to those folks -
and I think many here in Fayette County would join you.
I fail to see where they are getting priority.

In regards to Kent State - how many folks were injured in trying to protect
Property and Lives?
Slashing a hose line on a firefighter in my opinion is nothing short of
Attempted Murder.

Don't believe me - let me put you in a burning building without a  
water line   - Any other firefighters on the list care to comment?

In 1999 Kent University constructed an individual memorial for each of the
students in the parking lot between Taylor and Prentice halls.  
Each of the four memorials is located on the exact spot where the student
fell, mortally wounded.

Crosby Stills  Nash went to Kent State campus for the first time on May 4,
1997, where they performed the song for the May 4 Task Force's 27th annual
commemoration.
Something tells me that if your requesting that the military not be given
any homage on the 4th - than I am right in stating since May 4th  
every year pays homage to the 4 who died @ Kent state...   its okay  
for us to ignore them on the 4th as well...

July 4th is about the Birth of a Nation - It is not about the Memory  
of those who Died in keeping its freedom.Thats a different Holiday  
called... Memorial Day.

If that is your argument I can agree - but the rest - seems like scatter

My office is next to yours - basically...

In your part of the country? Are you serious?

Let me ask a silly question - if those in our part of the country  
were to read this message thread - what do you think they would say?

In regards to domestically - there are tons that protect our freedoms.
But the 4th is about the Birth of a Nation.

I seriously think your opinion here is Jacked.
And thats just my opinion.

We can agree to disagree - and we can also agree to agree that there  
is more to our freedoms than the military.

Anyhow - since the WISPA list is not for this kind of discussion -  
feel free to hit me up in person - via email etc.
Bottom line - lets keep the politics for the WISPA list to be about 1  
thing - the politics that surround being a WISP.

My apologies to the group for going down this path
bob - we can continue - just hit me off list - so we don't break the

 That's what I'm saying.  There is more to our freedoms than the

Re: [WISPA] Happy Birthday to US!

2010-07-02 Thread RickG
Like everything, there is a who, what, where, how,  why.
Who Independence Day really about? Surely, it is not about me or you is it?
What does Independence Day for? As you said, our Independence, to be
more precise, independence from England.
Where did Independence Day start? Not at my house. We just OBSERVE it
like most Americans.
How did Independence Day begin? By the Declaration of Independence.
Why is there an Independence Day? To commemorating the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence.

Here is my favorite bullet on the subject on Wikipedia:
*In 1778, General George Washington marked July 4 with a double ration
of rum  for his soldiers and an artillery salute. Across the Atlantic
Ocean, ambassadors John Adams and Benjamin Franklin held a dinner for
their fellow Americans in Paris, France.
Note the military, no others, we're the recipients of a gift for the occasion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_%28United_States%29

Maybe I just ramble but I am grateful for the men  women of our
military who actually protect our freedom, while the rest only watch.

 Glenn Beck where separation and categorization of Americans happens.  We are
 one.  One country and one people no matter the sacrifices and no matter the

 That's my point.  We are all a part of it.

 Bob - out of interest...

 Do you have any law enforcement, EMS, Fire or Military experience in your
 background?
 While working 9/11 - I lost many friends.   While I survived with only
 cancer (and a bunch of weight gain) much of our platoon of EMS and Fire
 fighters got much worse.

 My children have had Tumors (the ones born after 9/11 and after my service
 there... )

 Last I checked the parade in town had both the VFW, PBA, Fire Dept,
 Churches, Bikes with kids riding them, and yes - EVEN just as you call it
 EQUAL AMERICANS on the streets walking.

 Please don't take this as if I am attacking you - but I am wondering if you
 have paid any sacrifice towards the freedoms you hold so dear...
 Not saying that you have not - not done anything either...  It was however
 through Blood, Sacrifice, Tears, Death, and yes ... EVEN WAR that our
 freedoms were given to us.

 It is through Blood, Sweat, Sacrifice, Tears, Death - and yes EVEN WAR that
 they have been maintained and guaranteed...

 Bob, I agree with you to a point. It is US, as a collective. But, only
 one group has offered and continues to offer the ultimate sacrifice.
 Many of our great leasers such as Washington was military. They didn't
 just the talk, they walked the walk. I did not take the opportunity to
 serve, but after visiting Washington DC and seeing all those grave
 markers, I realize I do not know the meaning of true sacrifice. Just
 because they don't own the 4th, doesn't mean they shouldn't get
 priority. They are the only ones who actually fight against tyranny
 and for freedom. Dont let others tell you differently.

Cacti is pretty easy to get going.  Smokeping is easy once you 
understand the syntax of the config file.  Nagios has a learning curve, 
but it's a very powerful platform for monitoring.

Each has it's own usage, depends what you are looking to monitor.

Re: [WISPA] Happy Birthday to US!

2010-07-02 Thread RickG
Glenn, the list is dead and the timing is appropriate for a short
thread on the subject.
You are exactly correct, it IS about the birth of our nation, which
was made so by those that dearly sacrificed towards that goal, and by
those that continue preserve it. Pure  simple. While we say Happy
Birthday to US - as nation! That does not mean it is about US, but
rather FOR US, at least in my mind. Personally, it means that I can
own a WISP without government tyranny. Well, so far anyway. Which is
why this subject is so important. I get a bit emotional when you read
surveys that say 1 in 4 Americans dont know who we fought against for
our independence. Or other historical facts about this great country.
I'm sure the percentage is much higher in our ranks though!

Have a Happy 4th! Remember who, what, where, when, how  why!

 My office is next to yours - basically...

 In your part of the country? Are you serious?

 Let me ask a silly question - if those in our part of the country
 were to read this message thread - what do you think they would say?

 In regards to domestically - there are tons that protect our freedoms.
 But the 4th is about the Birth of a Nation.

 I seriously think your opinion here is Jacked.
 And thats just my opinion.

 We can agree to disagree - and we can also agree to agree that there
 is more to our freedoms than the military.

 Anyhow - since the WISPA list is not for this kind of discussion -
 feel free to hit me up in person - via email etc.
 Bottom line - lets keep the politics for the WISPA list to be about 1
 thing - the politics that surround being a WISP.

 My apologies to the group for going down this path
 bob - we can continue - just hit me off list - so we don't break the

 Hijacked, as in only one side being represented.  If we have no

 That's what I'm saying.  There is more to our freedoms than the

 We are the protection.  All of us.  Together.

 Bob, I hope my previous post didnt come off negatively as it was not
 meant
 to be that way. I'm just hoping your thoughts about the military are
 more
 positive no matter how much you hear about them tomororow or any
 other day.
 While its a wonderful thought to give all priority, isnt that like
 saying we
 should all get prioirity parking when the handicap places take up
 the first
 row? I'm not sure that works.
 Furhtermore, there are plenty of people in the country who dont
 deserve it.
 At any rate, my main point is that I dont think the fourth was
 hijacked by
 the military but rather WE (US) chose to honor them on on
 Independence Day
 because if it werent for THEM it wouldnt exist and the right to
 celebrate it
 wouldnt exist either. So, they earned everything coming to them on a
 silver
 platter. As for me and many others, we have done nothing and do
 nothing to
 deserve the honor.
 BTW: We should only worship GOD as the good book says.
