Process of Surrender
This is the story of someone that has said yes to God and they desire to surrender that thing to Him, but the hand is partially closed because they’re still in the process of learning what it means to truly give it up.

I'm SO sorry I haven't posted in so long, thank you for the 4,000 views. You don't know how thankful I am.
School is crazy, life is crazy, and my camera and laptop are crap; so I there's been a huge lack of effort on my part to upload here.
Photo Club starts tomorrow at my school, hopefully I'll have some new photos up soon (:
Sorry about this vid by the way... It's pathetic. I shot it on my Blackberry...
The Battle of Appomattox Court House, fought in Appomattox County, Virginia, on the morning of April 9, 1865, was one of the last battles of the American Civil War (1861–1865). It was the final engagement of Confederate General in Chief, Robert E. Lee, and his Army of Northern Virginia before it surrendered to the Union Army of the Potomac under the Commanding General of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant.
Lee, having abandoned the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, after the nine-and-a-half-month Siege of Petersburg and Richmond, retreated west, hoping to join his army with the remaining Confederate forces in North Carolina, the Army of Tennessee under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. Union infantry and cavalry forces under Gen. Philip Sheridan pursued and cut off the Confederates' retreat at the central Virginia village of Appomattox Court House. Lee launched a last-ditch attack to break through the Union forces to his front, assuming the Union force consisted entirely of lightly armed cavalry. When he realized that the cavalry was now backed up by two corps of federal infantry, he had no choice but to surrender with his further avenue of retreat and escape now cut off.
The signing of the surrender documents occurred in the parlor of the house owned by Wilmer McLean on the afternoon of April 9. On April 12, a formal ceremony of parade and the stacking of arms led by Confederate Maj. Gen. John B. Gordon to federal Brig. Gen. Joshua Chamberlain marked the disbandment of the Army of Northern Virginia with the parole of its nearly 28,000 remaining officers and men, free to return home without their major weapons but enabling men to take their horses and officers to retain their sidearms (swords and pistols), and effectively ending the war in Virginia.
This event triggered a series of subsequent surrenders across the South, in North Carolina, Alabama and finally Shreveport, Louisiana, for the Trans-Mississippi Theater in the West by June, signaling the end of the four-year-long war.

From April 2nd and the Fall of Petersburg to April 9th and the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House, Confederate and Federal armies engaged in skirmishes and battles, including a major battle at Sailor’s Creek. The Confederates were desperate to get to Lynchburg for supplies and to break out to join Confederate forces in North Carolina. The Federals sought peace as Lincoln envisioned it, starting with the destruction or surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia.
The armies confronted each other on the gently rolling terrain in and around Appomattox Court House at dawn on April 9th. Confederates of the Secord Corps, under the leadership of Major General John B. Gordon, swept forward across the ridgelines to clash with the Federal cavalry of Major General Philip Sheridan. Initial assaults were successful, but Federal infantry from Major General Charles Griffin’s Fifth Corps and Major General John Gibbon’s Twenty Fourth Corps arrived after a forced march. These men, including some 5,000 United States Colored Troops, blocked Lee’s army from accessing roads to Lynchburg and Danville.
Confederates under the command of Lieutenant General James Longstreet could not provide support for Gordon because the Federal Second Corps of Major General Andrew A. Humphreys advanced against Longstreet’s troops. Grant, in a letter from April 7, had asked Lee to accept the “hopelessness of further resistance.” With his army surrounded, Lee now agreed with Grant’s assessment and ordered his officers to offer a white flag of truce.
Lee and Grant exchanged letters regarding the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia. Grant’s terms, reflecting Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address and Lincoln’s recent guidance provided at City Point, Virginia, required a promise to surrender arms and not engage in further conflicts against the United States. Grant did not ask for unconditional surrender. Lee accepted the terms.
Sergeant Major William McCoslin, serving in the 29th Regiment USCI, declared in a May 1865 letter that “We the colored soldiers, have fairly won our rights by loyalty and bravery”. In contrast, Brigadier General Armistead Lindsay Long from the Army of Northern Virginia communicated that “It is impossible to describe the anguish of the troops when it was known that the surrender of the army was inevitable. Of all their trials, this was the greatest and hardest to endure”. On April 9, Colonel Elisha Hunt Rhodes, who served as part of the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry, chronicled that the “Rebels are half starved, and our men have divided their rations with them . . . . We did it cheerfully”. Brevet Major General Joshua Chamberlain stated that “Brave men may become good friends,” but Chamberlain further reported that a Confederate officer was more uncertain: “You’re mistaken, sir . . . . You may forgive us but we won’t be forgiven. There is rancor in our hearts . . . which you little dream of”.
On the evening of April 9, Pvt. Hiram W. Harding, who served in the 9th Virginia Cavalry Company D, described this poignant occasion in his diary: the “noble army of Northern Virginia was surrendered to day at ten O'clock & the Cavalry ordered to Buckingham courthouse there to be disbanded”. Federal officials printed parole passes for Confederate soldiers beginning on April 10th from the Clover Hill Tavern; the formal ceremony of the stacking of arms took place April 12th. The American myth of Appomattox, Grant, and Lee and their individual and nuanced symbolism sparked simultaneously with the surrender.

This angle is the key to understanding what the phases of building are. As i understand it this was the site of two old Ore Hearths, the arches can be seen. When the mill was extended towards the beck and new hearths built they knocked off the top of the right hand hearth, partitioned it in the middle and capped it with flags to make a double box section flue. Then they knocked the wall through between the two hearths and used the left hearth and its flue to create a new twin box section flue. This was joined by other flues at cirtain points and made its way up to the new stack on the hilltop. If you look carefully at the right hand hearth you can see on the back wall in the stones the arc of the old flue.

This was with some stuff which belonged to my great-uncle C Russell, USMC. ON the back he wrote "Japanese Colonel, CO of Yap garrison signing surrender aboard a US Destroyer off Yap. Sept 1945, Navy Capt. took surrender."
Sarasota has a 26 foot tall statue called Unconditional Surrender on the Sarasota Bayfront. It is an oversized recreation of a famous photograph from the end of the war celebration in Times Square. The nameless serviceman dipped an unknown nurse for a kiss to celebrate the end of the World War II on August 14, 1945. It is known as the “Unconditional Surrender.”

Saw this at the Chinatown fire station. Apparently you can abandon your children there with no risk of legal action...seriously!
Ví este anuncio en la estación de bomberos de Chinatown. Por lo visto puedes abandonar a tu hijo allí sin que te acusen de un crímen...es para desalentar el abandono de los niños en contenedores, etc.
Otis The Cat
My very first photo of "Otis", the cat I rescued from an area no-kill facility and, quite possibly, my favorite pic to date. I used a newly purchased Canon Rebel XS, also my first DSLR cam away from film.
Below is the backstory on Otis. You can also view his daily antics at otisthecat.tumblr.com/

About Otis The Cat
My name is Otis. And this is my story (so far as I can remember).
I’m a 2 yr old domestic, medium hair, black and white cat. I was brought in to the Carbon County Friends of Animals in July 2010 by some woman who found me in a local Jim Thorpe, PA neighborhood in dire need. Some kids there took a liking to me. Naturally, I enjoyed the attention and decided to hang out with them. What I didn’t know was their intended agenda.
When this woman surrendered me to the CCFOA, she told them that these neighborhood boys took some twine and wrapped it so tightly around my tail that it was hanging off my body when I was brought in. And don’t ask me how a portion of my ear went missing. Maybe I blocked it from memory. However, I am very thankful. Some of my feline friends that were with these boys weren’t quite as lucky as me.
After the nice girls at CCFOA brought me to the Lehighton Animal Hospital, things began to take a down turn. Apparently, my tail was more severely injured and infected than originally thought. Since the CCFOA is a privately run non-profit organization, they had insufficient funds to cover the costs for the corrective surgery to my tail. The only other option was euthanasia. I guess the girls didn’t like hearing that option so they began raising donations and funds right there in the shop. They even put in their own money to help me out. Needless to say, the money was raised and my operation was successful. So now I sport a little stump similar to a Manx. Personally, I think the ladies kinda dig it.
My profile was then listed on PetFinder with a brief history about me. But who wants a busted up old alley cat? About a month goes by when some random guy walks into the shop. He wanted to meet me. Knowing this was my shining moment, I put on a performance worthy of an academy award. He bought it. Hook, line, and sinker. I was adopted that day.
So that’s as much as I can tell you about my past. But I’m really looking forward to the future and intend on posting my journal here for all to see my progress (and daily antics).
Thanks for taking an interest in my story. And remember to support your local “no kill” facilities and animal shelters. They saved my life.
