However, I can't seem to find any record of them online (within the first few dozen pages on google).

Anyone in the medical field have a url for the company and a local phone number?

At 1630, 2 July 1863, near Little Round Top, a rocky hill near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain's 358 remaining soldiers of the 20th Maine Regiment were ordered into a defensive line. Minutes later, they came under a violent frontal assault by the 47th Alabama Regiment. While the 20th Maine was repulsing this assault, an officer rushed up to Chamberlain and informed him that another large enemy force was moving to attack their exposed left flank.

Chamberlain immediately ordered a new defensive line at right angles to his existing line, shifting the entire regiment to the left and back, while maintaining continuous fire to the front, masking the movement of his left flank. Minutes later the 20th Maine was assaulted by the 15th Alabama Regiment. During that assault, the 20th Maine fired 20,000 rounds, suffering 30 percent dead and wounded. Chamberlain, wounded in the foot by a shell fragment, was bleeding. His right thigh was severely bruised where a musket ball had struck his scabbard. The 20th Maine miraculously withstood six charges before they ran out of ammunition.

Chamberlain, fearing an overwhelming, annihilating rebel attack, realized that by withdrawing he would be giving up key terrain and the battle too. To the astonishment of his company commanders, he ordered a bayonet charge with the enemy, beginning another fierce charge from only 30 yards away. The left half of his regiment began the charge, stunning the Confederates before them. As they came abreast of their own right half, Chamberlain raised high his saber and shouted, “Fix bayonets! Charge! Fix bayonets! Charge! Fix bayonets! Charge!” Running downhill like a thundering herd of raging animals, Chamberlain and his men had the clear advantage over the tired rebels. The Alabama men were shocked and fell back. A company of Chamberlain's men had formed a screen line on the left flank and began firing into the panic-stricken Confederates who, even though they outnumbered the 20th Maine 3 to 1, did not realize the strength of their numbers.

Fearing the worst for his troops, Oates, the commander of the Alabama regiments, ordered a breakout that turned into a rout and the capture of more than 400 of his men. Afterward, Colonel Chamberlain was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. His actions serve as one of the finest examples of what a combat leader must be able to be and do to exercise effective battle command.

I think Sven and I solved an open problem today. That's my first, if so. w00t. You don't find many "open problems" with closed solutions in system work, really, not since the early 70's rt/scheduling/utilization heyday of Liu and Layland (see this famous article, Sally Floyd's "Questions wanting Answers" and Rob Pike's similar thoughts). Well, maybe anyway -- I don't actually know what I'm talking about, perhaps, but either way it's a bigger coup than I've scored to date =]. Best of all, it's intensely applicable to our current work; we might yet fend off the juggernauts and undernauts all come 'round slinging security for tuppence!!!! Yeeee-haw!

Happy to help!

My car's out of warranty, so I'm done with going to the dealership. So, I'm looking for a good, reliable auto repair place/mechanic in the Emory/Druid Hills area. Right now I need my AC checked, but it'll be for all the standard maintenance stuff, too. It's a higher mileage car (80k+), so that's a consideration, too. Looking for someone you have personal experience using with good results. ETA: It's a 2001 Chevy Cavalier LS.

Thanks for the help!

Anyone out there play or know of an active Abberant game?

Hey.
So, my boyfriend and I are looking for a new place. So far we've had really bad luck with pretty much every apartment building we've tried.
So I was wondering if anyone had any advice. We are on a budget of no more than 800,and we'd like to live somewhere like little five, inman park, grant park, east atlanta, candler park, virginia highlands or midtown.
Any suggestions would be very much so appreciated!

I find the strangest things at work.

I'm a local photographer in need of cheap colourful backdrops or very large pieces of fabric that can be used as such, typically 6'x10'. I've basically been using sheets but they have to be sewn together in order to be large enough for my use, which is a pain. If anyone knows of a place for decent backdrops or has any for sale I'd be very appreciative. Cheers.

Browsing the video game news, I saw a bit of info on Guitar Hero IV. Looks like they’re definitely incorporating vocals and drums. Fine. There’s a create-a-song mode. Sure, whatever.

Then I got to the last two bullet points:

- All songs will be master tracks
- 4 band confirmed - Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime

Me: “Whoa, all master tracks! OF VAN HALEN SONGS FOR ME TO PLAY! YES! And… The Eagles… annnnd my two least favorite modern rock bands of ever. Great.”

Hi all! Been having trouble finding a piece of hardware in town, and I'm hoping someone can help with a reference to a great local store. All of the hardware and home repair stores we've tried so far have looked at us with confused looks like we're asking for something difficult. I need to find S-hooks that will hang over a pipe 1-5/8" in diameter. When we ask, they keep giving us hooks 1-5/8" long, or have no idea what we're asking for at all.

Here's what we're looking for, but large enough to hang over a 1-5/8" pipe: http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/(oc5ayo3babhswfzvcvesyzbk)/productDetails.aspx?SKU=998003491

I see them online, but we need them for a trade show display in a few days, so local pickup is better. Does anyone know of a hardware store anywhere from Buckhead to NE ATL that knows their S-hook from a hole in the wall?

interested in a few things, all of which have been covered here before but damn the lack of tags in this community! for reference, i live in candler park right now but am about to move to midtown/ga tech area within a week.

1) where can I get an OK womens haircut fairly immediately for reasonably cheap at a place on MARTA? I've had a bad experience with Supercuts, so am unwilling to go to that kind of place unless someone can recommend a specific stylist. I don't want something elaborate . . . I just want the haircut to be, uhh, straight and not something I have to pay to get fixed. Also willing to pay an LJer as long as you either have a haircutting license or verifiable references.

2) does anyone here hang out in any online communities, livejournal or otherwise, that are focused on meeting fun, intelligent, geeky, open-minded local people who want to do things? i have difficulties with the bar scene and am also very shy so online is the easiest way to meet people. when i first moved here i met all my friends via livejournal, and now they've all moved and i need to meet new people. i'm on meetup.com . . . have had conflicts so far with most of the meetups i was interested in but hope to make it to one soon.

3) related to that, does anyone know a place to go to play games? all sorts of games, board, online, whatever? preferably one that's not 100% male. also appreciated would be an organization that bikes/walks/runs/promenades/recreates in Piedmont Park.

4) I am moving on Thursday. I have a pretty new full-sized bed and boxspring that has a couple small stains (you could turn the mattress over and it would not be an issue) and an old office chair and a square folding table. I'm not inclined to move either one cause in my next place I won't need them. I live in Candler Park: you would have to pick them up. The bed would have to go on Thursday: the chair and table could go earlier. Folding table free to good cause that can use a folding table for tabling at events; make a reasonable offer for the other things. I might sell/give away some smaller things in my LJ between now and then. museumfreak@livejournal.com.

As of late I've started fixing on the idea that my moods are similar to the weather... something I can adjust to based on conditions but something I have no control over. One can't expect to feel super spectacular all of the time, nor would one want to because it would mean one's body chemistry was seriously screwed.

This comparison has a ring of truth to it but is ultimately invalid. There are always environmental factors at work.

Lately I've found my ADD medication to have little to no effect if I have not eaten recently. Due to the appetite suppression that both drugs offer I rarely find myself ravenously hungry. Instead the lack of eating manifests itself in more destructive ways, primarily in an ultra floaty attention span and wildly pinging mood swings. Earlier today I found my head feeling like a rock with waves crashing wildly against it, having all sorts of dark thoughts which hit right to my latent insecurities. Needless to say, one does not get much work done in such a state, and the lack of action usually results in further spiraling until a ridiculous desperation manifests itself.

I left the house and got something to eat. Ten minutes later I felt better.

Despite this I have not been doing as well as I have in the past. I would wager my baseline mood is about as low as it has been in many years. I can cite various abrupt changes for triggering it I suppose but this doesn't solve the problem. I find myself searching various periods of my life for the clues to a more level existence where I feel on top of my various projects and actually get things done. The answers I find often contradict themselves.

So I'm left with the things I know that work:

1) Being reasonably physically active
2) Eating correctly
2) Being reasonably social
4) Working WITH (not FOR) others on creative projects

Luckily my job supplies a lot of physical activity. Unfortunately I think it has made the last two things more difficult due to scheduling problems. As far as #2, I think I could do better, though I've certainly done a lot worse.

My sincere hope for this Fall is that first of all, the school thing works out. This also includes getting reasonable student loans. I think that the less I have to work while going to school the better. I'm willing to live extremely lean to avoid having to work at all too. Unfortunately my years of full time work have probably made that nearly impossible since my score on my FAFSA qualifies me for less student aid based on my wages than I might like.

Thus I will likely work part time and go to school full time. Thankfully part-time I should be able to constrict my availability to the point of being able to count on certain days being consistently free. Which would help #3 + #4 save for the fact that I'm going to have to devote more free time to schooling. At any rate it will have to be better than it is now with 630p-330a shifts all summer long.

I'm already resigned to toughing out the next three-four months full time at the theatre living a semi-hermetic existence solely so I can retain the job since it will be close to Tech campus. However, continuing as I have for the last couple of weeks is not going to work as I may go crazy. Judicious use of vacation time may help, though I'm doubtful on that. I'll just have to do the best I can in the interim months.

I think the most crushing thing is that right now I have no creative projects going... not a single one. When I get back to this zero point over the years I find it harder and harder to start something new. For the first time I've considered selling off the majority of my musical equipment and just giving it up. I'm sure that would not last but that it is even being considered is a bit troubling.

Right now I feel okay. Nobody needs to worry too much. The rebound shall come soon enough.

I haven't posted much of an update lately (it's been at least a week), so here ya go, warts and all. Adult language not withheld, so I'm putting this behind a cut tag...

A belated Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are mothers (and/or grandmothers, aunts, teachers, etc.) or have mothers and/or grandmothers, aunts, teachers, etc.

I'm sleeping, enjoying whatever the hell I'm dreaming of when the alarm goes off. "Good things never last long" I think to myself as I swing my arm over to the clock radio, trying to put an end to the annoying buzzing. I grumble a little as my hand fumbles around the night table, looking for the right button to push. After a few minutes I realize that I've hit every possible button and I can't turn off the damn thing. "Must be the backup alarm-radio" I immediately think, still in a sleepy haze. I swing my arm further down the table. "Wait, I got rid of that thing years ago. Must be the cell phone or something else". The "something else" must have hit the right neuron, cause there is no "something else" that loud and annoying in near my bed. That's when I woke up and turned the damn thing off for real.

I really hate it when reality seeps into my dreams.

It's one of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
