I'll never forget January 2nd, 2006 and the days that followed as long as I live. I was sitting in my living room glued to the tv, tears rolling down my face as I heard of the 13 men trapped in the Sago mine after an explosion. I prayed over and over for a safe, happy outcome. I watched as the news showed as much as they could of the rescue effort and my heart broke for the families who gathered at the little church, much like the one I grew up in, praying for their fathers, husbands, sons and friends, the backbone of their families and community, to come home safely.
I've often wondered what those last minutes under ground were like. I honestly believe that they died peacefully. I envision that an angel visited with them and carried them home in his arms, away from the darkness of the underground mine into the beautiful lights of Heaven. They faced death with a great amount of dignity and self-sacrifice and I can't help but think that God made their last trip special.
I would like to dedicate this posting to not only the miners who lost their lives on that horrible, horrible day, but to their families as well. Even though I do not know you, I feel bonded to you. You see, I almost lost my father on two occasions to mining accidents. He is blind in one eye, deaf in one ear and no longer has reflexes. Mining takes so much from families sometimes. It makes men old before their time and sometimes takes them from us and yet, knowing all of this, they lay their life on the line for us, for their families, to make our lives better and to provide a good living for those they love. You see, mining families are always attached, you were not alone during those dark days, all mining families were with you, cried with you, prayed for you and loved you all. We still pray for you and love you. Thank you for your sacrifice and may your loved ones rest in peace.
To Randal McCloy, Jr. and his family: You are an inspiration to everyone. You are God's miracle. I am so glad that you are still here to share in the lives of your wife and children. I would like to honor you as well.
Jerry Groves, 56, of Cleveland, W.Va.
I know how it feels to go through things like this. I am a retired coal miner of 35 years. I worked for 18 year in a Mine in Brookwood Alabama, and on Sept 23, 2001 a massive explosion happened at JWR #5 Coal Mine. I knew several of the men that were killed in that explosion. One of the men was a close family friend.
The event of 9/11 kept this from being on the news, as most of the news at that time was taking place in New York, Washington DC and the Plane Crash Site in Pa.

The following conditions exclusively apply to all deliveries and services of the Genuport Trade GmbH. We hereby explicitly object to any opposing conditions or deviating General Terms and Conditions and/or Contractual Offers from the purchaser unless prior consent was given by the Genuport Trade GmbH in writing. These conditions also apply in the event that the Genuport Trade GmbH carries out the delivery to the purchaser without reservation despite being aware of the fact that the General Terms and Conditions of the purchaser contradict or deviate from our own. Subject to additional explicitly made agreements, these conditions are valid in the respectively current version and also apply to any other agreements made with the client, even if these are not explicitly included in the contract. These conditions solely apply to enterprises as well as to corporate bodies of public law or separate estates governed by public law in keeping with §§ 310 Section 1, 14 BGB.
Our offers in catalogues, lists, shops, etc. are subject to change and do not obligate us to accept an order, unless they are explicitly referred to as binding.
The minimum purchase order value is € 350.00 net.
The subject matter of the delivery or service comprises the goods and/or services offered by us and ordered by the purchaser. Insofar as not otherwise explicitly specified in the respective offer, the versions and prices only apply to the respective item on offer, but not to any other equipment or decorations that may also be depicted.
Guarantees in accordance with the law are referred to under the specific name of "Guarantee" and are only issued by us in writing. Any guarantees from the manufacturer remain unaffected by this.
All deliveries and services are carried out based on the respective version of the Genuport Trade GmbH price list that is valid at the time of concluding the contract. The prices are "franco domicile" (free delivery) but are plus value-added tax at the applicable legal amount.
Provided that nothing else is stated in the order confirmation, the net purchase price (without deduction) will be due for payment within 7 days after the date of invoice. If the purchaser defaults on the payment of any of our invoices, Genuport Trade GmbH reserves the right to add interest for default at eight percent p.a. above the respective base interest rate in accordance with § 247 BGB. The right to claim higher damages due to default remains unaffected. If the purchaser defaults on one of several financial liabilities to us, or we become aware of circumstances that lead us to have well-founded doubts about the credit worthiness of the purchaser, then all of our accounts receivable due from the purchaser shall become due immediately. In this case, we are not obligated to make any further deliveries under this or any other agreement unless the purchaser offers to settle the entire residual debt step by step in return for delivery. The purchaser is only entitled to offset Genuport Trade GmbH payment claims against counterclaims that are legally established, undisputed or acknowledged by the Genuport Trade GmbH in writing. Moreover, the purchaser shall be entitled to exercise any right of retention only insofar as the counterclaim is based on the same contract and the Genuport Trade GmbH is responsible for an infringement of obligations in accordance with § 276 BGB.
We are entitled to assign the claims from our business relations.
Provided that the claims from our business relations have been assigned, payments with the effect of debt-discharge may only be made to the company or person to whom we have assigned the claims from our business relations.
If the loading or transport of goods is delayed for reasons for which the purchaser is responsible, the Genuport Trade GmbH has the right to store the goods at our own reasonable discretion at the expense and risk of the purchaser, to take all action deemed suitable to preserve the goods and to invoice the goods as delivered. The same shall apply if goods notified as being ready for delivery are not requested to be delivered within four days. The statutory provisions regarding default of acceptance remain unaffected by this.
The period of delivery determined by us shall only commence after all technical questions have been clarified with the purchaser. The compliance with our delivery commitment additionally presupposes the timely and orderly fulfilment of the purchaser's obligations. The right to raise objection to non-fulfilment of the agreement is reserved.
Delivery deadlines and dates are only binding if they have explicitly been specified as binding and confirmed in writing by the Genuport Trade GmbH. Force majeure and any other circumstances beyond the control of Genuport Trade GmbH extend the delivery deadline by the duration of the obstacle. The Genuport Trade GmbH will immediately notify the purchaser of such circumstances.
Should the Genuport Trade GmbH be unable to deliver the ordered goods through no fault of our own because our suppliers have not fulfilled their contractual duties, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract with the purchaser. This right of withdrawal, however, only exists in the event that the Genuport Trade GmbH has a corresponding supply agreement (i.e. has bindingly ordered a sufficient quantity of the goods concerned in good time) with the supplier concerned and cannot be held responsible for the non-delivery of the goods for any other reason. In such cases, the Genuport Trade GmbH will inform the purchaser without delay that the ordered goods are not available and will immediately reimburse any advance payments.
The Genuport Trade GmbH retains the ownership rights to all deliveries until all payments based on the existing business relations up to the date of conclusion of the respective contracts have been settled.
Insofar as a checking account relationship has been agreed upon between the purchaser and the Genuport Trade GmbH, the reservation of ownership rights also relate to the respectively acknowledged balance.
The same applies in the event that a balance is not acknowledged and a "balance is made for cause", for instance because the purchaser becomes bankrupt or goes into liquidation. The purchaser is obliged to treat the purchased goods with care.
In case of seizure or other actions by third parties, the purchaser shall immediately notify the Genuport Trade GmbH in writing so that we may take legal action in accordance with § 771 ZPO (German Code of Civil Procedure). Insofar as the third party is not able to reimburse the Genuport Trade GmbH for judicial and extra-judicial costs for the legal action as per § 771 ZPO, the purchaser is liable for the costs incurred.
The purchaser is entitled to resell the goods in an orderly business transaction; however, the purchaser already now assigns all claims to the Genuport Trade GmbH to the amount of the final amount of the invoice (including value added tax) incurring to him from the resale to his customers or third parties, independent of the fact whether the goods were resold without or after processing.
The Genuport Trade GmbH accepts this assignment. The purchaser retains the right to collect these claims even after this assignment. The Genuport Trade GmbH's right to collect the payment for these claims ourselves remains unaffected. However, theGenuport Trade GmbH hereby undertakes not to collect on the claim for as long as the purchaser meets his payment obligations from the proceeds received, is not in arrears, and in particular no application is filed for the opening of insolvency proceedings or payments are suspended. If this is, however, the case, the Genuport Trade GmbH is entitled to revoke the direct debit authorisation and demand that the purchaser notifies us of the assigned claims and the debtors thereunder, provides all details necessary for collection, delivers the corresponding documents and notifies the debtor (third party) of the assignment.
Any processing or modification of the purchased item by the purchaser will always be carried out on the behalf of the Genuport Trade GmbH. If the goods are processed with other objects not belonging to the Genuport Trade GmbH, theGenuport Trade GmbH shall acquire co-ownership in the new object at the ratio that applies between the value of the goods and the other processed items at the time of processing. The object created through further processing shall be subject to the same conditions as the goods supplied under reservation of title.
If the goods are irrevocably mixed with other objects not belonging to the Genuport Trade GmbH, the Genuport Trade GmbH shall acquire co-ownership in the new object at the ratio that applies between the value of the goods and the other mixed items at the time of mixing. If the mixing takes place in such a way that the purchaser's property is to be regarded as the main item, it is agreed that the purchaser transfers proportional co-ownership to the Genuport Trade GmbH. The purchaser shall safeguard the sole ownership or the co-ownership thus arising for theGenuport Trade GmbH.
The Genuport Trade GmbH agrees to release the securities to which it is entitled at the purchaser's request to the extent that the realisable value of the securities exceeds the obligations to be secured by more than 10 %; the Genuport Trade GmbH is entitled to select the securities to be released.
The risk is transferred to the customer with the delivery of the goods to the forwarding agent or carrier, at the latest however upon leaving the factory.
The Genuport Trade GmbH warrants that the delivered goods are free of fabrication or material defects and correspond with the written specifications.
The purchaser is obliged to inspect deliveries immediately pursuant to § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) and to notify us of any defects in writing without delay.
Faulty goods are to be made available to the Genuport Trade GmbH for inspection in the condition that they were in at the time of discovering the defect. Infringement of this obligation shall lead to an exclusion of any liability by the Genuport Trade GmbH. The aforementioned clauses also apply for over-delivery, under-delivery as well as for incorrect deliveries.
Insofar as the purchased item has a defect for which the Genuport Trade GmbH can be held responsible, the purchaser is entitled to demand, as preferred, compensation in the form of rectification of defects or the delivery of a new item.
In the case of rectification of defects, the Genuport Trade GmbH bears all costs for necessary expenses incurred, in particular transportation costs, route-related transport costs, labour costs and the cost of materials, provided that the said costs are not increased by the fact that the purchased item was brought to a place other than the place of delivery. In the event that subsequent performance fails, the purchaser is entitled to withdraw from the contract and demand compensation for damages instead of fulfilment, insofar as the contract obligation was not insignificant. In all other respects, § 6 applies for the limitation of liability. The purchaser's right of reduction remains unaffected.
If the Genuport Trade GmbH has given a guarantee for the quality of an item, we are held liable in accordance with the statutory provisions.
The aforementioned liability limitations shall also apply in favour of the legal representatives or persons assisting in the performance of obligations of the Genuport Trade GmbH if claims are asserted directly against them as well as analogously for claims to reimbursement of expenses. The provisions of the German product liability laws as well as the liability of the Genuport Trade GmbH for any contractual guarantees remain unaffected.
Place of fulfilment and jurisdiction for both parties is Norderstedt, insofar as the purchaser is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a public-law special fund. The Genuport Trade GmbH, however, is also entitled to bring action against the other party in the other party's general place of jurisdiction. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply under exclusion of the convention of the United Nations concerning contracts for the international purchase of goods. (CISG). Should any of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be or become ineffective this shall not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions.

When I was young, my family always visited The Apple Barn Cider Mill and General Store in Sevierville, TN. We even have a great family story about how I ran straight into a pole while walking into the store. It's a hoot.
Anyway, that is when my love for apple butter began. Ever since, I have loved having toast with peanut butter and a little apple butter on top. When we found out that my oldest has a peanut allergy, I had to come up with some creative ways to use my apple butter.
So for national donut day, I give you Spice Apple Butter Donuts with an optional maple glaze. They go great together or apart. It's a pick your own ending story!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray donut pans with cooking spray.
Melt butter in a pan and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk egg, apple butter, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Be sure that the butter is cool - you don't want it scrambling the egg. Once combined, whisk in the brown sugar.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, they are baked. Remove from pan after 5 minutes.
While they are cooling a bit, make the glaze by melting butter and maple syrup in a pan. Vigorously, whisk in powdered sugar. Dip donuts into glaze and allow to set. Enjoy warm if you can!
They're good for two days in an air tight container or up to two months in the freezer.
Let's all just take a moment and give an air high five (Jim + Pam style for you Office fans) to the inventor of the crockpot.
I make at least one meal a week in my crockpot that usually covers dinner for two nights and lunch for at least one. This recipe could feed a small army, so keep that in mind. 1/2 it if you're unsure. I had a standard size crock pot and it is filled to the brim.
This week, I'm working on some warm, hearty, meaty (terrible word) crockpot chili with my sous chef. Damn, he is good at stirring.
This is a great recipe to keep in the back of your mind and stock up when you see that some of the canned ingredients are BOGO.
Depending on how liquidy you prefer your chili, you can drain the cans of diced tomatoes.
While most millennials are welcoming fall becuase they can finally have their God-forsaken Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I've over here excited to carve pumpkins and trick or treat!
I love Halloween. It is my favorite gift-free holiday. (Let's be honest, I like me some presents.) I love coming up with costume ideas, watching Halloween movies, and baking spooky treats with my sous chef, Brooks.
Brooks is at the perfect age to help. We count A LOT and pracitce pouring. Plus, he always gets to taste test so he's a happy camper.
I came across Halloween Oreos at Target the other day which I scooped up instantly. I also grabbed some Wilton Halloween sprinkles, and let my imagination run away! Since Brooks can only focus for so long, I grabbed the original Nestle Tollhouse cookie recipe sans chocolate chips, and we went to town!
Before I get into the how-to, let me start with a disclaimer. These bad boys did not come out of the oven looking great. The cookies spread and the Oreo part was a giant blemish in the center. However, I baked them perfectly so that the surrounding cookie could easily be trimmed to leave nice round cookies. And plenty of scraps for mom and dad.
Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated after each addition.
Stir in sprinkles. We divided the batter in half and did two different kinds of sprinkles that the sous chef painstakingly selected.
Drop dough by tablespoon onto baking sheets. (I used silicone liners, which may be part of the reason I had so much spreading. Try an ungreased sheet if you don't have the liners!) Put an Oreo in the center of the dough and push down gently. Drop about 1/2 tablespoon of batter on the Oreo. Use your fingers to completely cover the Oreo with the batter.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown on the edges and chewy in the center. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; trim any excess. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Roughly 12-15 covered Oreos with a little left to eat raw. I know it's not good for your body, but its good for the soul!
Now that Vance (8 months) is venturing out into table foods, I have to think about how I can translate one meal into something that a toddler will try, a baby will be able to gum, and that will pair nicely with a beer once the littles are asleep.
Below are 3 meals that I always have on repeat because they are so versatile. The ingredients can easily be amended based on dietary restrictions or the toddler protest of the week. Most of these ideas have a decent amount of ingredients, but whenever possible (and still remotely healthy) I will buy canned or frozen items to cut prep time down.
Usually the kids versions are much faster to prep since toddlers seem to go from content to I'M STARVING AND I'M GOING TO DIE in 3 seconds.
Taco Seasoning - Since this is a weekly item, we buy the huge one at Costco. Saves a few bucks. Or make your own. Here is a simple recipe using spices that you likely already have.
I assume we all know how to make tacos, so I'm not going to belittle you by explaining that. You do you - just don't add cilantro, that's gross.
How to for Toddler: Deconstruct everything. Right now, nothing on my toddler's plate can touch another item except for greek yogurt. His plate usually has tortilla shells, protein, corn, chopped avocado, and blue chips with greek yogurt.
How to for Baby: Get that paring knife out! We do the black beans for the protein, cheese for the fun, and avocado so that we make a huge mess. Chop everything into teeny pieces.
Variations for the rest of the week: Nachos! Chips become the base and throw everything on top!
Helpful tools: Taco stand - Make those tacos Instagrammable!
That donut was from an adventure in "offering dessert with the meal to deglamorize it". It went so-so.
My husband and I usually opt for this Chipotle Chicken variety with a few adaptations, and we keep it simple for the kiddos. Again, mixing and touching ingredients is not flying in our house.
How to for Adults: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook in olive oil until thoroughly cooked. Top Naan with shredded cheese, diced red peppers, and bacon pieces. Pop that in the oven for 5-8 minutes just to melt the cheese and warm everything. While that cooks, combine equal amounts of greek yogurt and rmayo with a few tablespoons of taco seasoning (to taste) for a simple chipotle-esque dressing. Throw that concoction in a ziploc bag. Seal with no air inside and snip a corner. Drizzle the dressing on the warm flatbread, add the chopped avocado, and enjoy!
How to for Toddler: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spoon marinara sauce on to Naan. Sprinkle cheese on top. (If your toddler enjoys any particular veggies, add those now.) Pop in the oven until warm and the cheese melts. Serve with some of the chicken from the adult version or some fruits and veggies.
How to for Baby: Shred the chicken to baby size and serve with pieces of avocado and some greek yogurt for protein.
Remember how we all thought breakfast for dinner was such a treat as a kid? The reason parents opt for this is because it is easy and usually doesn't result in tears. Childhood memories ruined!
Sausage or Bacon (whatever is on sale) I like the kind that you microwave, its easy and tastes the same.
How to for Adults and Toddler: Double whammy here! Prep pancakes or waffles according to the directions on the box. Ditto with the sausage and bacon. I am not opposed to using the griddle for the bacon then cooking the pancakes on that same griddle. Honestly, I don't really even remember how to do anything to eggs other than scramble so this one is user's choice!
And if all that fails, its ice cream for dinner, and we'll try again tomorrow!
Once this behavior became a trend rather than a rare occurrence, I decided that hiding veggies into foods that he liked was the only option. Baking seemed like the safest place to start, so without further ado I give you Monster Muffins!
These shockingly tasty (and predictably unappealing looking) muffins include spinach, carrots, bananas, and blueberries with only optional added sugar. And you can do most of the hard work in a food processor or blender so it is easy clean up too!
2. Melt the butter and leave to cool.
3. Combine the dry ingredients - All Purpose Flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (optional)- in a large bowl. Whisk together.
4. Place spinach and carrots into a blender or food processor and blend or pulse until the vegetables are pulverized. Add the remaining wet ingredients- milk, honey, applesauce, vanilla, banana, and optional brown sugar- and the cooled melted butter to the vegetable mixture, and blend until combined.
5. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients stirring to combine as you go. Do not over stir.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
As you can see, Brooks loves bananas. He also loves his carbs, so banana bread is a no-brainer in our house. I was jealous watching the rest of the family enjoy banana bread while I'm dairy free (while nursing Vance). So I mixed and matched some recipes to create this dairy-free banana oat bread recipe. This does make a very dense bread, so if you are looking for light and fluffy, this is not the right recipe for you.
Mash up 3 bananas (or have your toddler do so).
Combine the bananas, olive oil, eggs, and brown sugar and whisk until well combined.
Add the flour, cinnamon, and oats to the wet mixture. Stir until combined.
I'm always looking for ways to change up recipes since Brooks's tastes change hourly. How did you remix this recipe to better suit your family?!


The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) was introduced by the government under the Higher Education Legislation Amendment (Student and Amenities) Act 2012 to support student services.
Each student pays a yearly SSAF fee for student services that be charged to your HECS. This money is collected by the university and distributed between various student service providers at Monash. SSAF is not a compulsory student unionism fee, because the money does not go directly to Student Unions.
In 2015, the total SSAF money was distributed according to the allocation principles approved by the Monash University Council.
20% of the total SSAF money was allocated to student initiated projects.
17% of the total SSAF money was allocated to funding initiatives such as student health and welfare services.
The remaining amount is distributed for emergency student grants, campus based events, and improving student facilities.
MONSU Caulfield believes that a student union run by students and for students has the best understanding of how to serve our members.
Despite the increasing number of students enrolled at Caulfield, our funding from the university has not increased. Unfortunately this impacts our ability to guarantee the best experience for each and every Caulfield students.
If you have any other inquiries, please contact president@monsu.org.

The books that have been banned across the world - and you can now pick up at Barrow Library
By Michael Thomas Barrow and Ormsgill reporter
BARROW Library has been celebrating peoples' freedom to read without censorship.
The team have been busy setting up their display of books that have been banned or challenged for various reasons across the world.
The thought-provoking display has been created ahead of the Banned Books Week national campaign.
Cathy Fidler, community services officer at the library said: "It's been fascinating for us to see how many books have in fact been challenged at some point.
"It includes a lot of the most popular and mainstream books.
"They're not niche or obscure.
"It's just interesting to see how some of the most popular books are also the most challenged."
Banned Books Week UK is a nationwide campaign for radical and rebellious readers of all ages to celebrate the freedom to read.
Between September 22 and 28, bookshops, libraries, schools and publishers will be hosting events and making noise about some of the most sordid, subversive, sensational and taboo busting books around.
Banned Books Week UK aims to capture the the imagination of people of ages and backgrounds, celebrating the freedom to read while at the same time educating and informing them about key issues relating to book censorship, from outright banning of books to more subtler forms of silencing, such as traditional publishing structures or taboo topics.
Ms Fidler said: "Often the reasons for books being challenged were linked to issues like sexuality, offensive language, witchcraft or they don't promote a certain lifestyle.
"I think book censorship needs to be challenged and the freedom to read should be promoted because reading is key to understanding the lives of other people."
The banned books include:
Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar, 2000.
Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher, 2001.
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, 2005.
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, 2007.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, 2008.
The Color of Water by Dong Hwa Kim, 2009.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, 2012.
Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan, 2013.
Death in the Spotlight by Robin Stevens, 2018.
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, 2017.
Beyond Magenta by Susan Kuklin, 2014.

"How to Cope with Climate Anxiety: Saving the Earth and Saving Ourselves" at Erb Memorial Union (EMU)
Britt Wray's fascinating and hopeful talk demonstrates the emotional and existential effects of living in a warming world—and how we can get through them together. Although anxieties surrounding the climate crisis can cause us to burn out, give up, and question deeply personal decisions like whether to have children, working through these anxieties can unlock a deep capacity to care for and act on climate issues. We need to look at the climate crisis as a whole—not just the political or technological issues, but the mental health consequences as well.

Danish Public Prosecutor for Serious Economic Crime (SØK) has filed criminal charges against several individuals employed at bankrupt OW Bunker under suspicion that they committed fraud, Mikkel Thastum, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office, confirmed.
The individuals targeted by the charges include OW Bunker CEO Jim Pedersen, the company's former CFO, Morten Skou, and Lars Moller, former CEO of OW Bunker's Singapore subsidiary Dynamic Oil Trading (DOT), local media said. The exact number of individuals being charged has not been disclosed.
The fraud charges are linked to a fake bunker contract with the Italian Navy worth USD 50 million.
However, Pedersen reportedly told the Finance Watch that the charges were groundless.
Danish marine fuel supplier has been entangled in a number of court cases since its filing for bankruptcy in November 2014.
At the time, OW Bunker issued a statement saying that the company was investigating an alleged fraud committed by senior employees in its Singapore-based subsidiary DOT, adding that preliminary findings suggested a potential loss of around USD 125 million.
OW Bunker also said that a review of risk management contracts had revealed a significant risk management loss in addition to the loss of USD 24.5 million announced on October 23, 2014.

Second of two battles that led to the British surrender at Saratoga (American War of Independence). After failing to even reach the American lines in his previous attack (Battle of Freeman's Farm, 19 September), Burgoyne had waited in the hope that a supporting attack from New York would force General Gates to split his army. When it was clear that this was not happening, Burgoyne made the unusual (for him) move of calling a council of war. Those of his senior officers who were willing to give advice were in favor of a retreat back towards Canada, but this was not the advice Burgoyne wanted, and instead he decided to attack again.
Since Freeman's Farm, the American position had increased in strength. Gates now had 11,000 men and outnumbered Burgoyne by two to one. Burgoyne's plan was to punch through the American left wing, and by a rapid march reach Albany before Gates could react. Burgoyne was still hoping to find British troops at Albany, but General Clinton's attack from New York never reached Albany, stalling once it captured the Highland forts upriver from New York. A second weakness in the plan was that Burgoyne's army had shown no ability to move quickly, and was in very poor condition. Burgoyne's plan was a desperate attempt to avoid disaster.
Unsure of the American positions, Burgoyne decided to start the day by sending out a reconnaissance in force. Fifteen hundred men with ten artillery pieces advanced slowly towards the American lines. After an advance of three-quarters of a mile, they had discovered nothing. The advance was halted and the troops formed into a line, then stopped to wait.
It was now the Americans turn to act. Their scouting was far superior to the British, and news of the unsupported advance soon reached Gates, who ordered Poor's brigade (New Hampshire regulars) to attack the British left. This attack was supported by Daniel Morgan's regiment, which was able to reach the British rear. Also prominent in the American attack was Benedict Arnold. Although he had been relieved of his command by Gates, Arnold had remained with the army, and when battle developed Arnold dashed into the fray, and soon appears to have taken command of the American attack. As a battlefield commander he may have been the best on either side during the war. He led from the front, and the American troops were willing to follow him into battle in a way that few other commanders could imitate.
Under the stress of the repeated American attacks, the British line crumbled. General Simon Fraser was killed by sniper fire, ordered by Arnold, as was one of Burgoyne's aids sent to order a retreat. Burgoyne was initially able to get the main body of the army back into their entrenchments at Freeman's Farm in remarkably good condition, but once again Arnold came to the fore, leading a wild attack on the British right, which succeeded in capturing part of the British defenses. However, after Arnold was forced off the field by a serious wound the American attacks began to tire, and the British managed to avoid total disaster.
Even so, the days fighting left the British position at Freeman's Farm untenable. What had started as an attempt to punch a hole in the American lines had ended with the British being forced to retreat from their own camp. Burgoyne was now faced with the inevitability of surrender.
Mintz, Max M (1990). The Generals of Saratoga: John Burgoyne and Horatio Gates. Yale University Press.
Fort Stanwix (site of modern Rome, New York) occupied a strategic western portage known as the Oneida Carrying Place between the Mohawk River, which flowed southeast to the Hudson River, and Wood Creek leading to Lake Ontario. Built by the British in 1758 during the French and Indian War, the fort had fallen into disrepair. The site again became strategically important when the War widened in 1776.
battle that resulted in heavy casualties for both sides following bloody hand-to-hand combat. Herkimer received an injury to his leg, and died.
The Americans lost 385, while 50 were wounded and 30 captured. The British lost 95, 57 wounded and 10 captured.
The Battle of Oriskany ended in victory for the British, but significantly affected morale of Loyalists and Native Americans due to militia from Stanwix sacking and destroying several homes and villages while the enemy was away.
The attack was finally broken when American reinforcements under the command of Benedict Arnold with the assistance of Herkimer's relative Hon. Yost Schuyler, convinced the enemy that a much larger force was arriving. This misinformation, combined with Indian fighters upset over their losses from the raids, and not liking siege warfare led St. Leger to abandon the effort and retreat.
Although St. Leger reached Fort Ticonderoga in late September, he was too late to aid Burgoyne which contributed to the surrender at Saratoga in October 1777.
The first official US flag was flown during battle on August 3, 1777, at Fort Schuyler. The Continental Congress adopted the following resolution on June 14, 1777: "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white, on a blue field, representing a new constellation." Massachusetts reinforcements to Fort Schuyler brought news of the adoption by Congress of the official flag. Soldiers cut up their shirts to make the white stripes; scarlet material was secured from red flannel petticoats of officers' wives, while material for the blue union was secured from Capt. Abraham Swartwout's blue cloth coat. A voucher showed that Congress paid Capt. Swartwout for his coat for the flag.
Fort Stanwix saw little action after the siege, although it was a dangerous and unpopular post because of regular harassment by Loyalists and hostile Iroquois. In the spring of 1779 the Continental Army used the fort as a staging ground for the destruction of Onondaga Castle. In 1780, the garrison was blockaded for several days by a large force of Indians led by Joseph Brant. Finally, in the spring of 1781, when flood and fire (probably arson) destroyed most of the fort, the Americans evacuated the post.
Fort Stanwix was completely destroyed in the 19th century. The site was designated a U.S. National Monument in 1935, although the land itself was then occupied by private businesses and residences in downtown Rome, New York. In 1961 the site was designated a National Historic Landmark, and in 1966 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.The fort was reconstructed in the 1970s by the National Park Service, creating the current Fort Stanwix National Monument.
The site (Battle of Oriskany) is known in oral histories of the Iroquois nations as "A Place of Great Sadness." The site has been designated by the United States as a National Historic Landmark; it is marked by a battle monument at the Oriskany Battlefield State Historic Site.

LIVERPOOL will beat Manchester City to the Premier League title this season, claims Manchester United legend Phil Neville.
Liverpool are looking to win their first top-flight title since 1990.
The Reds are top of the table heading into this weekend's action, two points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
However, City have a game in hand as they look to win successive titles for the first time in their history.
City visit Crystal Palace on Sunday before Liverpool host Chelsea at Anfield later in the day.
Neville, who won six titles with Manchester United, believes it is always easier for a team to play first when it comes to the business end of a championship race.
But he reckons Liverpool will win all of their remaining five matches and sees City slipping up at least once.
"Man City play first on Sunday, which is psychological," England women's manager Neville told Premier League Productions.
"The Liverpool players will be driving to their game and they'll be listening to the radio, watching it on TV, and if City take the lead, that will subconsciously make them think 'oh no, we've got more pressure on us to win today'.
"I always think it's best playing first in a day, get your points on the table and put the pressure on the opposition.
"But I've got a feeling that if Liverpool win all those games, they'll win the league.
"I said from day one I think this is Liverpool's season.
"I think they're better than the team that played five years ago, they've got more experience, more quality, more depth.
"But it's going to be a brilliant title run in.

Chaos in Calgary
by Maria Irizar May 22, 2014 May 1, 2020 / 3 mins /
An annual event at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, is Bermuda Shorts Day. According to the student newspaper, its purpose is simple: "For those wanting to get the full BSD experience, we recommend drinking from sun-up until you decide to stop drinking due to lack of vertical stability. In short: when you can't stand anymore." This year it ended in a tragedy which prompted Maria Irizar to write to the University President, Dr Elizabeth Cannon.
Dear President Cannon,
My name is Maria Irizar and I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Calgary. I'm writing to share my concern about the University of Calgary's legendary event: Bermuda Shorts Day. Early this morning I received an email from the University of Calgary, and I was deeply distressed to hear of the five stabbing murders that took place in Brentwood, during a party that I assumed was the aftermath of BSD.
As a freshman student, last year I was shocked by the university's initiative of BSD (the only celebration event that is sanctioned by the University of Calgary) where students are given the opportunity to "celebrate their successes, blow off some steam after a hard-working term and party one last time before heading into exams."
Not knowing exactly what this meant, I went to campus to deliver an English presentation accompanied by two peers in the Education Block. To my horror, as soon as I stepped into the building I could smell alcohol, and it was clear that four out of five people that I encountered had had a bit too much to drink, to the point that they did not know what they were doing – throwing up, urinating in public, and such. To top this off, one of my peers presented himself in such a state that he could not deliver the presentation with us.
This academic year, after carefully thinking it over, I decided not to be present at campus for BSD. I figured that I did not have to put up with this social disorder, but if my peers wanted to, I'd respect their choice. However, the incident of this year has made me realize that I cannot simply ignore this and pretend that nothing is happening, when five young people were killed in a party that was probably just a continuation of U of C's BSD event.
BSD is the University of Calgary's way of giving its students the chance to party as hard as they can in a very unhealthy manner. According to statistics;
"Every year, 599,000 [US] students between the ages of 18 and 24 are unintentionally injured under the influence of alcohol, while more than 696,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking." (Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)
"Drinking negatively affects college students' academic performance, social relationships and health. Frequent drinkers are 21 times more likely than non drinkers to miss classes, fall behind in schoolwork, engage in vandalism, be injured or hurt, engage in unplanned sexual activity, get in trouble with campus police, or drive a car after drinking. (Harvard University School of Public Health College Alcohol Study)
Despite all this, the University itself is mindlessly handing over drinks to its students, harming not just their academic performance, but most importantly their integrity as human beings. We just have to take a look at the recent BSD, which turned a young man, with his whole life ahead of him, into a delinquent.
I am a student caller in the student calling program, and my primarily role is to connect our alumni to the university, informing them of the many aims and initiatives that the University of Calgary has. This includes the Eyes High Campaign, which describes itself as "the University of Calgary's new strategic direction, a bold and ambitious vision to become one of Canada's top five research universities, grounded in innovative learning and teaching and being fully integrated with the community of Calgary, by the university's 50th anniversary in 2016." Several times I've told our alumni that we are striving to "prepare future leaders for the complexities of this dynamic and rapidly evolving industry"
There seems to be a discrepancy here. On one hand we are seeking to make the "future leaders" of society, but on the other, we are promoting alcohol intoxication among our "potential leaders," leading to inappropriate behavior and impaired judgment, and death knocking at our campus doors. Can the University truly have its eyes high?
As a student I cannot remain indifferent, and see my university attempt to diminish the harm that BSD has. I urge you to do your part, to allow the University of Calgary to be able to truly lift its eyes high, by encouraging healthy, responsible behavior and discontinuing the BSD event in future years. Thank you.

Review: Erasure at the Ogden Theatre, 9/27/11
Bree Davies | September 28, 2011 | 10:00am
ERASURE at OGDEN THEATRE | 09/27/11
Like two ethereal beings dropped from the glittery synthpop heavens, Vince Clarke and Andy Bell's slim and nimble figures made larger-than-life-appearances last night at the Ogden Theatre. Legions of fans stood in polite awe as Bell sashayed his way through Erasure's greatest hits and more, Clarke standing a watchful guard while he created the tracks for his musical partner to stand on.
Flanked by two beautiful and statuesque back-up singers donning black, floor-length flowing pants, red shimmering corsets and delicate mohawks made of plumage, the four humans looked small in comparison to the elaborate get-up the stage itself wore. Crammed front and center were two angled pillars of faux steel, a multi-level set of round platforms and several fog-breathing gargoyles. One of the gargoyles housed Clarke's synth station, from where he conducted silently and with a fragile smile.
Bell was well aware of his role being the center attraction, appearing first in a gladiator helmet and sequined blazer and opening with "Sono Luminus." Light reflected off of the lead singer's jacket, giving him the illusion of a pink speckled beard as his operatic voice filled the venue. The shining overcoat was then removed to reveal a corset-vest and, as the first few notes of "Always" began to trickle out, the audience went wild.
"When I Start to (Break It All Down)" was the first of a few songs from it's latest album that Erasure brought to life, blending well with old favorites for a crowd seemed more than pleased regardless. With his trademark kicks and shuffles, Bell danced and danced and danced, grinning with a deviant sweetness through songs like "Drama!," "Ship of Fools" and "Chains of Love" while he winked and scowled with each verse's movement.
Clarke was called down from his synth pedestal to cut Bell out of his corset, and the lead singer changed once again, this time into a rhinestone Sex Pistols muscle t-shirt and aviators. "Breathe" played out in perfect time before Clarke once again descended from his podium to play guitar alongside his bandmate.
Though perhaps not intentional, there was humor in all of Bell's imaginary hair-flips, toe-taps and drag queen-without-the-make-up quivering lip snarls -- and the back-up singers were on to it all. So much so that at times, it was hard to to stare directly at the women, not just because they looked and sounded gorgeous, but because they too were smiling at Bell's inherent silliness.
"Chains of Love" started out on an awkward foot, Bell coming in a little off-time from the beat, but he swung right back and the rest went off without a hitch. "Sometimes" let Bell's voice echo though the cavernous venue and Clarke again picked up the guitar, his tiny frame swaying back and forth to the beat. "Respect" closed out the set, turning the Ogden into a massive and gleeful singalong.
Shortly after the lights went out, Erasure returned for an encore of "Oh L'amour," the stage's previously grey background now becoming a bright kaleidoscope of colors. "Stop!" sent the duo out with the perfect bang, a sea of peachy hands throwing up "stop" motions to the song's addictive chorus. And with that, a pretty close to perfect evening was over.
Opener Frankmusik was hardly worth a mention. The singer's recycled samples -- like Steve Winwood's "Valerie" and Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" -- came off lazy and uninspired. Tracks like "Better Off As Two" and "Do It In The AM" sounded like they were manufactured specifically for Forever 21 and H&M in-store soundtracks, and live was no different.
Dressed in I Dream of MC Hammer-inspired white spandex, Colette Carr came out to join Frankmusik for the duo's collaboration, "No I.D." It felt like a low-quality Disney production, complete with stagey smiles, too much make-up and not enough originality. The highlight was Frankmusik's live drummer -- who, well, played drums live.
CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK
Personal Bias: I am secretly a gay man on the inside. Seeing Erasure is like going to the church of gay and getting spiritualized. I cried last time I saw them at Red Rocks when they played "Love to Hate You," but I kept it together at this show. Random Detail: Though I had read in previous interviews that due to some health issues, Andy Bell didn't dance very much on stage anymore, he kept us more than entertained with all of his glorious and fancy moves. By the Way: Bell's on-stage banter was quirky and on-point -- early on in the night Bell said, "What a perfect day. The third day of fall, and I can smell the grass. You're pretty laid back here. I think we can all safely say we're in the Mile High Club."
