North Florida/South Georgia ICARE (by the VA Funky Dancers)
Created by the 2015 class members involved in the VHA VISN-level training program called 'Competency Development for Leaders (CDL) in the 21st Century'. The CDL team from the North Florida/South Georgia region of VISN 8 worked together to create a music video with the theme 'ICARE about MyVA' and rewrote the words the popular song 'Uptown Funk.' Volunteers in the VA and in the community participated to make the production of this video a success. This video will be judged by VISN 8 site directors (i.e. the directors of North Florida/South Georgia, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Bay Pines, West Palm Beach, and San Juan). They will vote for the best video and the winning site will get to keep 'the crystal vase' for the year until the next year's video competition.
OLUSTEE BATTLE IN FLORIDA
presents the 2012 Battle of Olustee Civil War Battle Reenactment.
Every year, we travel about an hour west to the Lake City, Florida area to participate in the Olustee Civil War Battle Reenactment. This year was my 17th year doing so and was really looking forward to another year at Olustee. Unfortunately, the weather did not really cooperate....well, it did, just not on the right schedule.
The Battle of Olustee or Battle of Ocean Pond was fought in Baker County, Florida on 20 February 1864, during theAmerican Civil War. It was the largest battle fought in Florida during the war.
In February 1864, Major General Quincy A. Gillmore, commander of the Union's Department of the South at Hilton Head, South Carolina, ordered an expedition into Florida to secure Union enclaves, sever Confederate supply routes (especially for beef and salt), and recruit black soldiers. Brigadier General Truman Seymour, in command of the expedition, landed troops atJacksonville, in an area already seized by the Union in March 1862. Seymour's forces then made several raids into northeast and north-central Florida. During these raids he met little resistance, seized several Confederate camps, captured small bands of troops and artillery pieces, liberated slaves, etc. However, Seymour was under orders from Gillmore not to advance deep into the state.
Seymour's preparations at Hilton Head had concerned the Confederate command in the key port city of Charleston, South Carolina. General P. G. T. Beauregard, correctly guessing Seymour's objective was Florida, felt these Union actions posed enough of a threat for him to detach reinforcements under Georgian Alfred H. Colquitt to bolster Florida's defenses and stop Seymour. Colquitt arrived in time to reinforce Florida troops under the command of Brigadier General Joseph Finegan. As Colquitt's troops began arriving, Seymour, without Gillmore's knowledge, began a new drive across north Florida with the capture of Tallahassee as a possible objective.
Following the Florida, Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad, Seymour led his 5,500 men in the direction of Lake City. At approximately 2:30 in the afternoon of February 20, the Union force approached General Finegan's 5,000 Confederates entrenched near Olustee Station. Finegan sent out an infantry brigade to meet Seymour's advance units and lure them into the Confederate entrenchments, but this plan went awry. The opposing forces met at Ocean Pond and the battle began. Seymour made the mistake of assuming that he was once again facing Florida militia units that he had previously routed with ease and committed his troops piecemeal into the battle. Finegan and Seymour both reinforced their engaged units during the afternoon and the battle took place in open pine woods. The Union forces attacked but were savagely repulsed by withering barrages of rifle and cannon fire.
The battle raged throughout the afternoon until, as Finegan committed the last of his reserves, the Union line broke and began to retreat. Finegan did not exploit the retreat, allowing most of the fleeing Union forces to reach Jacksonville. However, the Confederates did make a final attempt to engage the rear element of Seymour's forces just before nightfall, but they were repulsed by elements of the famous 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and the 35th United States Colored Troops, both composed of African-American soldiers. The Confederate cavalry commander received criticism for failing to pursue the retreating Union forces.
We arrived at the Olustee National Battlefield on Friday, got registered, picked out our campsite and set up camp. We no more than get our tents up than the skies open up. It rained for most of Friday night and the Weather Channel was predicting more of the same (and worse) for Saturday afternoon and night. The forest rangers closed our exit road Friday night and we were afraid that they'd do the same on Saturday night; keeping us locked in until late Sunday afternoon.
Between thunderstorms and being locked in with several 6-8 year olds, we decided to pull up stakes early Saturday morning. As you'll see in the video, we did manage to visit the sutlers and pick up a few goodies before heading home. To our dismay, Saturday and Sunday turned out to be beautiful days and we should have stayed in camp. Oh well....if we'd stayed, it would have poured. At least that's how I justify it.
What would you have done? What would make you end a vacation or travel adventure early?

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Florida had joined the Confederate States of America in advance of the Civil War, as the third of the original seven states to secede from the Union, following Lincoln's 1860 election. With the smallest population, nearly half of them slaves, Florida could only send 15,000 troops to the Confederate States Army. Its chief importance was in food-supply to the south, and support for blockade-runners, with its long coastline full of inlets that were hard to patrol.
On the outbreak of war, the Confederates seized many of the state's army camps, though the Union retained control of the main seaports. There was little fighting in Florida, the only major conflict being the Battle of Olustee near Lake City in February 1864. However, wartime conditions made it easier for slaves to escape, and many of them became useful informers to Union commanders. As southern morale suffered, deserters from both sides took refuge in Florida, often attacking Confederate units and looting farms. In May 1865, Federal control was re-established, slavery abolished, and the state governor John Milton shot himself, rather than submit to Union occupation.

World's Largest Rattlesnake Found in Florida!
Popper Tool Kit:
RESTMORE (30 Day):
Thinergy:
Here is the claim: 15 ft. Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake caught yesterday at the St. Augustine Outlet biggest ever caught on record. What a monster! I made a call to the St. John's County Sheriff’s office and the lady who answered the phone said it is real and happened about two months ago which would put it in September or October, 2009. I have heard of Eastern Diamond Backs being killed that were in excess of 8 feet long which is huge but this is almost twice that size. Makes you want to not go outside without a powerful flashlight at night.
