Time flies! Two beautiful girls, they grow up so fast! My baby doll is shopping for Prom, seems like yesterday she was playing dress up. But I bet one whiff of those cookies baking brings them right back to the kitchen :) They look delicious!

Such sweet times! Shopping isn't my favorite thing either, but I hope my daughter lets me shop (at least a little) with her. THAT might be fun. :)

Dress shopping with your daughters must be so much fun. When I pulled out a collared shirt for my now 14yo, for last year's 8th grade graduation, he asked, "Why do I have to dress up?"
The cookies look terrific. Thanks for sharing.

Aww, I love this post! It made me tear up a little bit.. I graduated last year and it has been hard for my mom and I to have more distance as I grow up so this hit home. The cookies sound AWESOME though and I love book shopping much more than clothes shopping :)

I'm in my early 30's and, I can happily say, that I still need my mom now and then. And I know she is happy to know that she is and always will be needed. :-)
Daughters will always need their moms.
The cookies look delicious!!

I have to agree. It seems as though my kids grew up overnight! Yesterday, the girls and I went to the mall. Like you, shopping drives me a little crazy. What bugs me most is the loud,loud music! :)

Oh Beth, this just makes me...I don't know--almost nostalgic for a way that I haven't felt yet. My fifteen-year-old will graduating from high school in two years, but I'm guessing her Mom will do the dress shopping with her (Stepmoms don't get the privilege, understandably). My two-year-old has longer, but still. I can see it coming. And when you have food pictures up with a post like this, I can almost taste it coming too :)

It is amazing how quickly our children grow. Funny, my kids are the same age as yours, my daughter is in the eight grade and my son is a junior. I feel like I blinked and they were big.
Your cookies sound delicious. I love oatmeal cookies expecially with chocolate:)

I'm not much of a shopper either! But it sounds like this was 'fun' shopping. The cookies look delectable too - love the toffee!
- March 27, 2011 at 8:56 PM
What a sweet picture of your girls. I'm not big on shopping either, but when the mood strikes--look out! I get tuckered out pretty quickly, as well. I would love to refuel with these cookies.

That's the sweetest photo! What a huge momentous step. =)

I never have any tolerance for in-store shopping, but what a reason to go! Hopefully you'll share the dress with us after the event :)

I'm not a shopper, either, but for such a special occasion it must have been fun! These cookies sound intriguing with the rice krispies. I'll have to give them a try!

I got tears in my eyes reading this Beth. I think I started babysitting the girls when they were just 2 and 4--and so adorable and sweet! Can they really be grad dress shopping now? They've grown up to be so beautiful, kind and intelligent. It's just wonderful to think about.

When I first saw this I thought, her grad dress is cookies? :S But I get it now :) I agree with the shopping, some times more hassle than its worth! But great story and great recipe anyway :)

- shaz said...
Awwww...I'm sure the dress is beautiful. Already I think time flies too quickly, I can't even imagine shopping for a grad (prom) dress yet! The cookies sound like they would be great lunch box treats (once I sub the chocolate ;) )
- March 28, 2011 at 7:53 AM
- Beth said...
Kerry, coming from you that's very high praise. If they grow up to be anywhere near the lovely person you are, I couldn't be happier. We are so proud of you!
Susanne, I had to laugh when I read your comments. But can you believe we both have a thirteen-year-old?
And I'm with you Valerie. I'll always need my mom!

I'm not a big shopper either, but I do have fun taking my girls out shopping. When I pick out something funky for them to try on, they roll their eyes and "humor" me, but my pick is usually the one they end up buying.
Your cookies would be the perfect shopping pick-me-up.
- March 28, 2011 at 3:21 PM
Doesn't time fly fast :) The cookies sound so scrumptious!

You and I could shop well together. Very well. lol. Hope we get to see the dress in June! Thanks for the cookie recipe, you know how my guys hate it when I make cookies.

Oh, I wish I could see the dress. :) I just bought my daughter an awesome prom dress, and I don't like shopping much either, but I'll tolerate it for special events.

Stopping by to thank you for your vote today! We've got a new battle each day this week, so lots of chances for you to enter and win!
I can't believe how quickly my girls have grown. They're 15 and 9 now and I still remember those 2 a.m. feedings like they were yesterday. Not that I wanna go back. Having them potty trained and feeding themselves is way too convenient!

It's bittersweet sometimes - but more sweet than anything. Transitions beget memories and past sweetnesses and make everyone look forward to the future. I think oatmeal cookies with rice krispies are the way to go during "transition time."

That will be me next year, shopping for my daughter's 8th grade grad dress. Time flies, doesn't it? These cookies look perfectly delicious and the toffee bits are a yummy addition.
- March 28, 2011 at 10:15 PM
This is a great story about transitions in life. Time does fly. It makes me look back on the past fondly.
Those cookies look yum.

Lovely post, Beth! It's so hard letting them get ready to leave. My daughter just turned 15. I get sad thinking about her going to college in three and a half years. Then I get hapy thinking about the wonderful joyful moments she'll get to experience. Then we have to sit down and have a talk about what to do about some of those experiences. LOL! Motherhood...who knew it would be full of so many ups and downs???

Oh, what a lovely thing to do together! We don't do graduations like that here, but I had a ball shopping for my formal (prom) dress with my Mum. And toffee bits... is there anything you shouldn't add them to? I think not.

I laughed out loud at the part about getting a personal-shopper & someone to do the laundry too. I need one of those!
This is a lovely, bittersweet post. I enjoyed it so much. My kids are still very young but it's still amazing how time flies & soon my 'baby' (read: toddler) is going to be too big to snuggle in the crook of my arm.
Show us her dress when she allows you go put it up here!

I can spend hours in a book store and yet shopping for clothes could be easily left to my stylist...if I had one that is ;o)
I can't blame your daughter for getting a head start. Pickings become slim as time goes by. This event is too important not to pay attention ;)
Thanks for the cookies...I'm grabbing my cup of coffee to go with these treats ;o)
Flavourful wishes,

Amazon Investors Sanguine Despite Plummeting Profits
Jul 27, 2012 3:39 PM PT
Amazon reported late Thursday that its Q2 net income had dropped an astounding 96 percent, but the market didn't seem to mind. Its stock jumped nearly 8 percent in Friday trading -- never mind the fact that it posted a net income of US$7 million compared to $191 million in the second quarter of 2011.
The picture these numbers paint is of a company that is barely making money, said Andreas Scherer, managing partner at Salto Partners.
In addition, its guidance for next quarter projects a loss, as expenses are set to grow, he told the E-Commerce Times.
Amazon's explanation apparently rang true for investors. The company posted an estimated net loss of $65 million in connection with the acquisition and integration of Kiva Systems.
As for the loss expected next quarter, that "is due to plans to expand its network of distribution centers," Scherer pointed out.
It certainly didn't hurt that Amazon also posted an increase in net sales of 29 percent, to reach $12.83 billion, compared with $9.91 billion in the second quarter of 2011.
Amazon Is Running With the Ball
What all this translates to is that Amazon is playing offense, Scherer said.
"They continue to upgrade their infrastructure, such as distribution centers and Web services," he pointed out. "This means a better, deeper user experience as well as faster delivery of goods."
All that at razor thin operating margins, Scherer added.
A Plan for the Future
What a difference a plan for the future makes, said Eric Steiman, portfolio manager at ES Capital Advisors and a Covestor model manager.
"We saw negative numbers from Facebook, and the Street is punishing it for them. Amazon, though, is fine -- and that is because it is building for the future, and it has a plan that people can see and understand," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Investors also apparently approved of Amazon's plan.
That wasn't the case with Netflix, which also provided guidance that it would likely post a loss as it expands into another market next quarter. Investors were none too pleased with that news.
Spending on Warehouses
While investors may not understand why Netflix needs to enter, say, Germany, new warehouses to fuel Amazon's expansion is a no-brainer.
"Amazon is spending a lot of money today in order to become a dominant player," Steiman said.
Amazon reportedly is prepping to compete with brick-and-mortar retailers with same-day delivery service, he noted. It must do something different to position itself as the better retail alternative now that it is losing its tax-less status -- or so the theory goes.
The answer is to offer the best of both worlds: the convenience and vast stock that can only be had on the Internet, coupled with the satisfaction of receiving the purchase on the same day.

I am a registered BIBM user.
My major questions are:
- In which order should I install the 3 OSS's thereby preserving the work already invested in Win8.1?
- Which OS('s) should best be installed on the SSD?
Please give your answers in the context of the following story:
Not knowing anything of Windows 8 and UEFI I had bought a new notebook (Medion AKOYA E7223 MD 98462) with Windows 8.1 pre-installed on the internal 500 GB SATA HDD. It is a GPT/UEFI installation with the partitions shown in the Attachment.
Naively I started configuring and customizing my Win8.1. I decided to make it very fast by transferring it to an SSD, which I intended to buy for this purpose.
Thinking that everything would run smoothly as I knew it from Win7 and BIBM, I planned to create a multi-OS boot menu (Win8.1, Win7, LinuxMint with 60 GB each as Primaries on my "Samsung MZ-7TE250BW Serie 840 EVO Basic interne SSD" and the Extended on my internal SATA HDD).
I installed the SSD into the notebook and it was only then that I started reading info about HDD – SSD migration and partitioning. I realized with dismay that all my work on Win8.1 might be lost because I would install the older Windows after the newer one and because BIBM can only deal with MBR/BIOS.
How can I make my plan (penultimate para) work? I do not care about using UEFI. Conversion to MBR would be acceptable. I would also be satisfied with one OS only on the SSD (preferably Win8.1) as a minimum and the other 2 OS's plus the Extended on the SATA HDD. But whatever the configuration, it should enable maximum speed of the SSD.

Back in June, Samsung announced that Jay-Z fans would be able to download the rapper's upcoming Magna Carta Holy Grail a few days before the album's official July 9 release date. Samsung bought a million downloads of the album, for $5 each, to be given away on July 4 through a mobile application, JAY Z Magna Carta, available exclusively on certain Samsung models.
It was a wily business move: a wildly successful promotion that generated substantial buzz. Jay-Z and Samsung's "Magna Carta" app (which appears to have been developed by Samsung as a joint promotion) has been downloaded by more than half a million people since it launched on June 24.
However, it now seems that Samsung was interested in bit more than a well-publicized association with a world-famous musical artist.
In order to access Magna Carta Holy Grail, users must download the JAY Z Magna Carta – available on certain Samsung devices. However, before users could access the album, they first had to give away a substantial amount of personal information. While internet users are used to giving up data like name, age and current location, this app also sought access to the phone's status and identity, users' storage, system tools, location — and even asked for the right to post on the user's Facebook or Twitter account.
The more information users requested about the album, the more info they'd be asked to give up. For example, if you wanted the lyrics to a song, the app posts on your behalf to Twitter or Facebook, alerting your friends and followers. The result has seen Twitter flooded with spam-like tweets, "I just unlocked a new lyric 'Crown' in the JAY Z Magna Carta app. See them first. http://smsng.us/MCHG2 #MagnaCarta." (Don't want to alienate your Twitter followers? Don't worry, Rap Genius already has all the lyrics up and decoded.)
While it's understandable that Jay-Z and Samsung would want fans to share the album over their social networks, the features makes sharing far from organic and is raising many eyebrows. The New York Times' Jon Pareles asked the question on many fans' minds: "Does Jay-Z really need to log my calls?" Gawker wondered, "Why does Jay-Z need your GPS location? Is he going to cruise by on a platinum-coated jet ski, personally chucking out copies of the album to people who downloaded the app?"
The request is even drawing suspicious within the hip-hop community, Run the Jewels emcee Killer Mike (a.k.a. Michael Render), who told XXL back in 2011 that Jay-Z was his "favorite rapper" refused to download the new album, tweeting:
I read this and…….."Naw I'm cool" pic.twitter.com/x8fXPG1tvC
— Killer Mike (@KillerMikeGTO) July 2, 2013
While it's certainly not unusual for companies to want information on their users (after all, even Google maps requires access to your location for GPS purposes), recent events — from the National Security Agency's PRISM surveillance scandal to the ongoing saga of NSA leaker Edward Snowden — have made online privacy a hot topic. And the potential fallout from Samsung's data-mining might be added to Jay Z's list of 99 problems.

Bet Rose Bowl
October 29th NFL news ... Bet Rose Bowl at bet-rosebowl.com
Adrian Peterson's potential exit plans from Vikings took hit in losing appeal
NFL Preview - NY Jets (1-0) at New England (1-0) (ET)
Muhammad Wilkerson, the New York NFL Odds Jets' emerging third-year defensive end, showed more than a bit of swagger by telling Newsday that he believes his team will knock off Tom Brady and the New England Patriots when the AFC East rivals kick off Week 2 of the NFL season at Gillette Stadium on Thursday.
"If our game plan is as good as it was (in the season-opening win against Tampa Bay), I don't see why we won't be 2-0," Wilkerson said. "I'm confident in our coaching staff to have a great game plan and us being 2-0."
The Temple product didn't back down on WFAN Radio when pressed about his Joe Namath-like prognostication: "We're going to go to Foxboro and get this win. We're going to be 2-0."
Bluster isn't going to have much of an effect on Brady or New England coach Bill Belichick but injuries could.
The Pats, of course, are coming off a tumultuous offseason during which Brady lost several key offensive weapons, including tight end Aaron Hernandez, who was released following his stunning June arrest on a murder charge. Meanwhile, security blanket Wes Welker bolted to Denver as a free agent, running back Danny Woodhead picked San Diego as his new home, receiver Brandon Lloyd remains unemployed, and All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski remains on the shelf as he continues to recover from offseason forearm and back surgeries.
Despite all that New England persevered in Buffalo last weekend thanks in large part to the gritty play of Welker's replacement, Danny Amendola. The receiver aggravated a groin injury late in the second quarter but returned to play a key role in the Pats' season-opening 23-21 come-from-behind win over the Bills.
Trailing by a point, the New England defense forced a three-and-out against the aggressive play-calling of rookie Bills coach Doug Marrone. Instead of relying on the running game to eat up more of the clock, Buffalo opted to pass and rookie EJ Manuel, the first quarterback chosen in April's draft at No. 16, picked up only four yards on 3rd-and-10.
"It wasn't a situation we felt we needed to milk the clock," Marrone said. "We felt that we still needed to score to win the game."
The Patriots got the ball back with 4:31 to play in the fourth quarter, and Brady went to work, twice hooking up with Amendola to convert third downs, the latter a 10-yard gain on 3rd-and-8 from the Buffalo 39.
Shane Vereen followed with a 15-yard run around left tackle on the next play, setting up Stephen Gostkowski's game-winning 35-yard field goal with five seconds left.
"I was proud of our team today. They made the plays they needed to make at the end to win," said Belichick.
Brady finished with 288 yards, two touchdown passes to Julian Edelman and one interception while completing 29-of-52 throws.
Vereen totaled 101 yards on 14 carries and added 58 yards on seven receptions for the Patriots, who have won 10 consecutive season openers, the longest current streak in the NFL. Amendola made 10 grabs for 104 yards.
However, Vereen broke a small bone in his wrist on his first play of Sunday's game and was placed on the injured reserve/designated for return list earlier this week, which means at least an eight-week absence for the running back.
Amendola, meanwhile, wasn't able to practice much during the short week due to his groin and is unlikely to play on Thursday.
As for the Jets, Rex Ryan isn't dead yet thanks to play of people like Wilkerson and rookie QB Geno Smith.
The presumptive lame duck coach has New York at "1-and-Geno" thanks to a little help from Tampa Bay's Lavonte David.
Smith played well in his NFL debut last week, changing the outcome of a seemingly decided game when it seemed most improbable. At the conclusion of a 10-yard scramble with seven seconds remaining, the former West Virginia star drew a personal foul penalty from David which set up Nick Folk for a game- winning 48-yard field goal, lifting Gang Green to a thrilling 18-17 win over the Buccaneers.
The Jets defense, which was solid for most of the day, made a critical mistake moments earlier when it left Vincent Jackson uncovered on the prior possession. The receiver's 37-yard catch allowed Rian Lindell to kick a go- ahead 37-yard field goal with just 34 seconds left.
With time winding down, Smith first fired a 25-yard pass to Kellen Winslow and spiked the ball to stop the clock before the fateful play that set New York's winning score.
"I stay focused on the game, whatever the situation is," said Smith. "You've got to think positive and try and figure out a way to pull it out."
Smith ended 24-of-38 for 256 yards through the air, tossing a touchdown and an interception in his NFL debut. He also led the Jets rushing attack with 47 yards on six carries.
"I thought Geno did a really nice job for a lot of it. I'll tell you where he really helped us, he ran," said Ryan. "He made some big plays running."
The Patriots and Jets will be meeting for the 109th time Thursday -- including three postseason matchups -- since the series between the AFC East rivals began in 1960.
Last season, the Patriots swept the series for the fifth time in team history and for the second straight season after a 29-26 overtime win at Gillette Stadium on Oct. 21 and a 49-19 win at MetLife Stadium on Thanksgiving night.
The 2012 victories put the Patriots in front in the series, 55-52-1 overall. New England is 29-25-1 all-time in home games against the Jets, including 25-19 overall in Foxborough and 9-4 at Gillette Stadium.
The Pats, though, have spiked in the series (26-14) since Robert Kraft purchased the franchise in 1994.
Smith faces a much tougher task this week when he makes his first road start against the Patriots. The former West Virginia star may make his share of rookie mistakes but offers the run-pass, dual option that is en vogue in today's NFL.
And forget all the criticism regarding Smith's work ethic. He has taken to the film room and already understands what he is up against, showing off an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the Pats' defense and reeling off a bit of a scouting report.
"They obviously present mismatches for anybody, so it's going to be tough for us," Smith said. "We just have to continue to stay smart. They are, a very well coached defense.
"Up front they are very strong. They have (Rob) Ninkovich, who is one of the smartest players I have seen on tape. He constantly makes plays; he is always around the ball. Vince Wilfork, I mean his name speaks for itself and he can be a guy who can change the game at any moment. They have Chandler (Jones) who is one of the up-and-coming defensive ends/outside linebackers in the league. He presents mismatches for tackles and he is constantly around the ball making plays, constantly getting to the quarterback.
"The linebackers, led by (Jerod) Mayo, and they have (Brandon) Spikes; (Dont'a) Hightower from Alabama. All of those guys, they run well, they hit, they come downhill hard and they can stop an offense.
"Their back end I think is pretty strong. They have Alfonzo Dennard, they have Aqib Talib, who they got last year. Then you move in (Devin) McCourty the safety and they picked up (Steve) Gregory from the Chargers, so all of those guys are veterans. They know the game, they've been around for a while now and I think they play well together."
Belichick is already impressed.
"I thought he played very well against Tampa last week," the coach said when asked about Smith. "He ran well, he threw well, he made good decisions, moved the team at critical points in the game. That's the most important thing -- he made the plays he needed to make to win."
Injuries are the big story in New England this week as Vereen and probably Amendola won't be available in the short week.
"We'll see how that all sorts itself out," Brady said. "There's a lot to prepare for in a very short amount of time. We're cramming a lot in but that's what we have to do."
Amendola was the hero last week and the combination routes he ran with Edelman are now off the table because the Pats' young receivers like Kenbrell Thompkins, Josh Boyce and Aaron Dobson are just not up to speed at this point.
Stevan Ridley, meanwhile, was supposed to be the guy at running back but he is coming off a two-fumble game at Buffalo. He's the first option with Vereen sidelined but will have a short leash and LeGarrette Blount, a former 1,000- yard rusher in Tampa, as well as former Jet Leon Washington could be in play for New England.
"That's why you have a deep roster," Brady said. "We have a lot of good running backs, a lot of good receivers."
The Jets front seven is better than people think with Wilkerson on the verge of developing into one of the better lineman in all of football. The back end is a little shakier and rookie corner Dee Milliner struggled a bit against Tampa Bay and Jackson but he and veteran Antonio Cromartie have the physical skills to make things tough on a Pats receiving corps minus Amendola.
Look for Edelman, who had seven receptions for 79 yards and two TDs against the Bills, to be Brady's go-to-guy on Thursday.
You have to think the short week favors the home team with the veteran quarterback over the visitors and the rookie but Belichick is wary.
"I think this is a big challenge for us this week with the limited amount of preparation time and the amount of things the Jets do," the coach said. "They have a real good scheme."
That good scheme and the fact that Brady is going to run out of offensive options soon will make this one closer than people think. That said, expect Ridley to return to form this week at home and "Tom Terrific," who owns a 17-4 record against the Jets as a starting quarterback, will likely cobble out enough plays with his undermanned receiving unit to send Smith packing in his first try away from North Jersey.
"We're just going to have to have a quick turnaround here and get in-tune with what the Jets do," Belichick said.

Francis Amasa Walker was an economics professor at Yale University, and served as president of the American Statistical Association and American Economic Association, and for a time, MIT. (He was also a general during the Civil War.) In his work, he is generally credited with having demolished the "wages fund" theory by sorting out the roles of rent, wages, and profits, paving the way for John Bates Clark. He had particular interests in the organization of the firm, the role of the entrepreneur, monetary theory, and bimetallism. His Political Economy was one of the most widely used textbooks of the 19th century prior to Marshall.

Eva Mendes was on Ellen yesterday. Not sure why and what she's promoting. But Ellen did ask her about the pregnancy rumours – she is not pregnant – and what she's doing for Valentine's Day. At which point she namechecks The Notebook. It was a joke. Like all she's doing on Friday is watching the movie and crying…
What does it mean?
I think it means she knows about the wishing. The Rachel McAdams/Ryan Gosling getting back together wishing. The judging too. From whatever fangirls who don't think she's good enough for him. Maybe it's a f-ck you to that bullsh-t.
To me, this is the wrong move. To me, the right move is always DO NOT ENGAGE. Because as soon as you engage, it's an acknowledgement. That it bothers her. She just gave them life.

A man is facing a first-degree murder charge after police say he strangled a fellow patient Thursday in their shared room at Aventura Hospital.
Raul Alexander Rios, 32, was found dead Thursday in the hospital room he shared with Alexander Thadeus Jackson, 31. Jackson was found in the room's bathroom, taking a shower, police said.
A witness said Jackson told her "he had done something wrong and that he had killed somebody," and Jackson later told detectives he had strangled Rios with his hands and a bedsheet, a police report said.
Police said Jackson was admitted into the hospital around 10 a.m. and placed into the room with Rios, who was already a patient. Rios' family said he suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and was Baker Acted into Aventura Hospital's psychiatric treatment unit two weeks ago.
"He was in there because he was sad, depressed, didn't want to eat, didn't want to drink, and he said, 'Please take me to the hospital,'" Rios' sister Francis Paloumbis said.
Rios' family said the last time he was seen alive was around 2:45 p.m. A housekeeper found Rios face down on the floor and unresponsive at 3:36 p.m., and although life-saving efforts were performed, he was pronounced dead.
"Now he's gone. We can't bring him back, and they treated him like roadkill at the hospital," Paloumbis said. "One hour, his body was dead on the floor, facing down. Where was security? Where were they? Where were the nurses, the doctors? We have no answers from anybody."
"We trusted him in the hands of Aventura Hospital treatment, and this is what we get," she added.
The hospital said in a statement Monday that it was helping the police investigation even as it also conducted an internal review.
"The security and well-being of our patients, staff and visitors remain of utmost importance and we are committed to providing care in a safe environment to the community we serve. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family during this very difficult time," it added.

Add three full years to Intrepid's standard one-year warranty on your RAD-Star 2.
Warranty extensions can be purchased at any time before expiration of the original warranty period. The additional duration is applied to the original warranty expiration date, not the date the extension is purchased.
For example, suppose your new RAD-Star 2 was delivered on 3/3/2017; this means the standard warranty expires on 3/3/2018. If you purchase a one-year extended warranty on 8/8/2017 (or any other date before 3/3/2018), the warranty will now expire on 3/3/2021.

It's time to welcome back an old tradition in Fayette: the Welcome Wagon.
While conversing with another Fayette resident recently, Karen King noted how much she would have appreciated a "welcome to Fayette" package when she moved back to the community two years ago.
She decided then that the Welcome Wagon tradition would not only be a help to new residents, but it would also be a good way to promote the community.
"I just thought it would be a nice gesture from the community to let people know we're glad to have them," King said.
From what she's heard, it's been at least 10 years since the welcoming effort disappeared in Fayette, but she intends to have it operational by the first of September.
Success depends on the cooperation of local businesses. King formed a committee and members are trying to contact all businesses in the area to urge them to contribute items.
She expects to receive pamphlets about businesses and services, discount coupons, introductory coupons, and items such as pencils, magnets or other trinkets that a company might offer.
King also encourages individuals who offer services to participate, along with churches, services organizations and the school.
When a welcome bag is delivered to a new community member, the information collected will also include a dozen freshly-baked cookies. A survey sheet will be included, allowing people to list interests and talents that would show how the newcomers might fit into community life.
Materials should be dropped off at the village office where they will be sorted into gift bags.
The welcome effort is sponsored by the Fayette Area Chamber of Commerce. Other members of the committee are Dianne Sattison, Cherie Rix, Char Rix, Ruth Schaffner and Barb Wieland.
For more information, contact King at 237-8000.

For the past few months I've been nurturing, what can be kindly referred to as, a serious interest in exploring Japanese cuisine. What exactly does that mean? Well aside from the almost weekly visits to my favorite, local sushi bars, there's been a bit more exploration at home. It all started out so simply, with a little bit of dashi. Following the always sound advice of Alton Brown, I was soon in possession of nearly two quarts of superb miso soup, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. What followed were first cracks at homemade shabu shabu, sukiyaki, katsudon and even homemade roux for Japanese curry.
Of course this revitalized obsession wasn't limited to home exploits and a few California rolls for lunch. Okonomiyaki, takoyaki, onigiri, any standout from the average sushi menu, I couldn't get enough of them. It even turned into a game of how many different ways could I get Sam to join me in another round of natto based treats (For anyone that has read Bourdain's second book ACook's Tour, natto is far from universally appealing). Naturally this new found appreciation for the relatively more eccentric Japanese cuisine led to a revitalized interest in the Izakaya. I say revitalized because I've been enjoying the food at Shoya Izakaya in Atlanta for a few years now, but it's reached the point that when I'm on the road, the first thing I search for is a local izakaya. Being in the south, I'm disappointed more often than not, but there was a beacon of hope the last time I was planned a trip to New Orleans.
After schlepping through the dying embers of the quarter fest and making it to Frenchmen Street, I saw a white sign with kanji script and the word YUKI beneath. Stepping inside, I secured a table in the small dining section and, with beer in hand, took in my surroundings.
Asahi black, not quite as dark as a stout but a fast favorite.
Asahi black, not quite as dark as a stout but a fast favorite.
In between watching a Godzilla movie that was projected on the far wall and listening to the offbeat but captivating band, I decided to delve headfirst into the Yuki Izakaya menu. As with so many Japanese meals, this one began with a little tofu.
Agedashi tofu has quickly become a personal litmus test and Yuki's version passed with flying colors. Well fried and not at all greasy, this tofu did have a rougher texture than I was expecting, but still satisfying.
A sweet sauce and green onions rounded out the bowl as each bite of tofu was punctuated by the sweetness of a dashi based sauce and bright green onions.
With the takoyaki and chicken skin kushiyaki unavailable, the next place to turn was to the chicken yakitori.
Deeply glazed and grilled dark meat chicken with a side of ground sansho pepper, it's the next best thing to chicken skin kushiyaki.
That's not quite true. While this chicken may have been a bit juicy, it was also salty, very salty and overcooked. At least the sansho pepper added a pleasant lip tingling sensation.
That's not quite true. While this chicken may have been a bit juicy, it was also salty, very salty and overcooked. At least the sansho pepper added a pleasant lip tingling sensation.
I rarely encounter eel in such large portions and for good reason; this was almost too much eel to handle.
Juicy and tender, char grilled crispiness on the edge with a creamy interior; the only thing that kept this eel grounded was a seemingly endless amount of tiny bones.
Usually I'll see beef tongue braised or roasted to the point where it will fall to pieces at the slightest breeze. This tongue was different, thick slices had been seasoned heavily with salt and grilled. What resulted was a fatty and chewy piece of muscle that was also brimming with delectable beef flavor. I would have preferred either thinner slices or a slower cooking time but, even with the chewiness, this beef tongue was superb.
When in doubt, you should look to an order of fried chicken or in this case karaage.
Flavored with salt, ginger, and green onion, coated in starch and fried to a crisp, even with a taste of raw cornstarch here and there, this was fine fried chicken.
The dipping sauces, chili garlic sauce and what tasted like lemon juice, seemed like an odd combination but it worked well with this chicken.
Since the meal began with a relatively healthy dose of fried tofu why not end with decidedly unhealthy French fries and mayo?
A disappointing end to the meal at Yuki Izakaya, these were little more than Ore Ida crinkle cut fries. Granted they were crispy and well fried and the dusting of sichimi togarashi was a nice touch.
Maybe Ore Ida fries wouldn't get such a bad rap if they were this well cooked and came with a side of wasabi mayo. That little bit of nasal clearing mayo made these French fries pretty decent.
It's hard to compare Yuki Izakaya to other Izakayas in the southeast. Stacked up to the gleaming space of Shoya Izakaya in Atlanta and its expansive menu, Yuki Izakaya doesn't even come close. But that really seems to be missing the point. Yuki Izakaya truly is a place for drinks first and food second and when that atmosphere of Japanese B movies, local bands, and porno wallpaper in the bathroom come together on Frenchmen Street, Yuki makes perfect sense. So while I may miss the fluttering katsuobushi of an okonomiyaki, Yuki still serves up quality snack food and plenty of tasty sake, beer, and shoju, more than enough to warrant a walk to and from Canal.

How far would you go to support someone that you love during a life or death battle with cancer? What one husband decided to do while his wife was in a period of strict isolation during her radiation treatment is going viral all over the Internet. Last October, Marci Newman was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and anyone that has ever had thyroid cancer can tell you how excruciating the treatments can be. She was forced to spend last week in isolation in her bedroom due to another round of radiation treatment, and her husband Jon decided to show his support by setting up a desk right outside of the door to her room. Their 17-year-old daughter MacKenna was so touched by this gesture that she posted a photograph of her father sitting at this desk on Twitter along with the following message… (Read More...)
The Big Business Of Cancer: 100 BILLION Dollars Was Spent On Cancer Drugs Last Year Alone
If you are an American, there is a 1 in 3 chance that you will get cancer during your lifetime. If you are a man, the odds are closer to 1 in 2. And almost everyone in America either knows someone who currently has cancer or who has already died from cancer. But it wasn't always this way. Back in the 1940s, only one out of every sixteen Americans would develop cancer. Something has happened that has caused the cancer rate in this nation to absolutely explode, and it is being projected that cancer will soon surpass heart disease and become the leading cause of death in the United States. Overall, the World Health Organization says that approximately 14 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed around the globe each year, and the number of new cases is expected to increase by about 70 percent over the next 2 decades. There are very few words in the English language that cause more fear than the word "cancer", but despite billions spent on research and all of the technological progress we have made over the years this plague just continues to spiral wildly out of control. Why is that? (Read More...)

Research Spotlight on Alternative Routes To Teacher Certification
NEA Reviews of the Research on Best Practices in Education
Alternative routes to teacher certification are having a profound impact on K-12 education. What began in the early 1980s as a way to ward off projected shortages of teachers and replace emergency certification has rapidly evolved into an accepted model for recruiting, training, and certifying those who already have at least a bachelor's degree and want to become teachers.
In addition, these programs offer individuals, regardless of whether they have a background in education or not, the opportunity to become licensed/certified by meeting requirements prescribed by the state. Every state in the nation and the District of Columbia report they have at least some type of nontraditional route to licensure (Source: National Center for Alternative Certification).
The NEA recognizes that there are – and should be – multiple pathways for entrance into the teaching profession and for attaining full licensure. The pathways should provide options so that individual candidates may select the one that best provides them a pathway to full licensure. None should be considered superior or inferior to the other. Further, the NEA believes that alternative pathways must be equal in rigor to traditional programs and that every teacher candidate must meet identical standards and measures in order to receive a professional teaching license in a given state. These standards and measures should ensure that processes for teacher licensure adequately address the skills, knowledge, and dispositions needed for effective teaching.
Most teachers entering the profession through alternative routes are recruited for areas where the demand for teachers is greatest – in large cities and rural areas – and in subject areas in greatest demand – special education, mathematics, and science. Alternative route programs are created and designed specifically to meet the needs in those areas, as well as the specific needs of prospective teachers who come from other careers and with considerable life experiences. These programs get prospective teachers into the classroom early, usually as a full-time teacher, earning a salary, while working with experienced teachers (Source: State Policy Trends for Alternative Routes to Teacher Certification, 2005).
Although the research on alternative routes to certification isn't substantial, there is enough to justify some modest conclusions and to provide guidance for policymakers. For instance, the research suggests that the following features are important to successful programs:
- Strong partnership between preparation programs and school districts
- Good participant screening and selection process
- Strong supervision and mentoring for participants during their teaching
- Solid curriculum that includes coursework in classroom basics and teaching methods
- Sufficient and relevant training and coursework prior to the assignment of participants to full-time teaching(Education Commission of the States, 2003)
Regarding the effectiveness of alternative route versus traditional certification programs, Linda Darling-Hammond et al.'s research on Teach for America recruits finds that those "who become certified after 2 or 3 years do about as well as other certified teachers in supporting student achievement gains; however, nearly all of them leave within three years. Teachers' effectiveness appears strongly related to the preparation they have received for teaching." (Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2005)
Amid the proponents and the opposition, what does seem apparent is that alternative certification programs have the potential to recruit more minority, male, and older teachers into urban and rural areas. With federal programs providing increasing support and oversight, alternative certification programs are not only evolving, but also gaining wider acceptance (Education Commission of the States, 2004).

The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!
NEWS BRIEF: "For Love Of Israel: An Activist
Expresses Her Basic Beliefs", by Julius Liebb, Associate
Editor, THE JEWISH PRESS, Friday, February 28, 1997, p. 3.
"Shifra Hoffman's 'Overview' column in THE JEWISH PRESS has attracted a large following of readers who find a mine of information there in the political scene in Israel. She relies heavily on the first-hand personal knowledge she gleans from her activities in Israel, and from her frequent trips to the U.S. during which she takes the pulse of the American Jewish community. Shifra Hoffman makes frequent trips to the U.S. to fire up interest in her campaign to foster aliya and support for her pet project, VAT, the Victims of Arab Terror."
At this point, I should define this word, aliya.
This Jewish word means the return of Jews back to their ancient
land of Israel, from wherever they may be scattered. The Zionists
of the late 19th Century formally created this concept, as they
urged all Jews to pull up their roots and migrate back to their
ancient land. Little by little, from the 1890's to the present
time, Jews have migrated by the several millions to Israel, giving
her great vitality and citizens of unique skills she could have
attained in no other way. Of course, the greatest single motivation
for this return was severe persecution against Jews in the lands
in which they were residing. The most intense persecution, of
course, occurred in Germany under the heavy whip of Adolf Hitler.
But, lately, Jews have been returning to Israel by the hundreds
of thousands from the old U.S.S.R., again spurred by intense persecution.
Make no mistake about it: Jews are returning back to their land,
from all parts of the globe except for one: the United States.
In this land, the Jews do not feel threatened, and they love
our standard of living. The lifestyle offered Jews here not only
keeps American Jews here, it attracts Jews to migrate from Israel
to America. But, basically, Jews are returning to Israel from
most points on the globe.
This return back to the land was prophesied in the Old Testament, primarily in End Times passages, as we will discuss in a few moments. But, now let us return to this article about Shifra Hoffman. "Shifra is returning to Israel this week after another hectic 15-city swing across the country where she delivered over 50 lectures in synagogues, schools, and Jewish centers. She has championed her cause against anti-Semitic advocates. Her arguments are skillfully presented as she fearlessly meets her challengers with a substantial measure of common sense, truth, and passion. Shifra is completing her 25th year of activism, imbued with the spirit and influence of her guide and leader, Rabbi Meir Kahane." Let us stop here for a moment to examine who and what Rabbi Kahane was. He was a global leader of a mystical group of Orthodox Jews. These Jews felt very strongly that Rabbi Kahane was the prophesied Messiah; even after his death, many feel he will be resurrected to be presented to the world as Messiah! Therefore, when Antichrist does arise and shows many "signs and wonders" to "prove" his Messianic Office, he will likely find ready support from the followers of Kahane.
But, for the purposes of our study, Kahane was an interesting person because he was urging American Jews to consider migrating to Israel, before the persecution he thought he saw on the American horizon came to fruition! Let us return now to this article, speaking of Shifra Hoffman. "She brings Kahane's warnings to the fore, appealing to the Jews of America to seriously consider aliya and make the move that will give Israel a more solid basis, a quantitative as well as a qualitative edge in its struggle for survival. Like Kahane, she points to the disintegrating power of American Jewry."
What could she possibly be talking about? After all, Jews occupy many important posts within the power structure of Washington, D.C. Even Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, and a key leader in the New World Order Plan, is Jewish. Many, many key business leaders in America are Jewish, including owners of several newspapers, magazines, etc. So, what does Ms Hoffman, and other followers of Rabbi Kahane, see that we perhaps do not see?
"Jewish prestige in America is waning as racial and economic reasons force policymakers to consider investing social security funds in the stock market. Who is to blame? The public blames the super-liberals, who are somehow linked to and identified with the Jews. The large minorities, sensing the possible loss of their government benefits, hold the Jews responsible for their predicament. They believe that too much of U.S. money is going to Israel. 'I see this attitude gaining acceptance throughout the country, with some groups devoting all their efforts to bashing Jews', warns Shifra." In other words, Satan is sparking the same type of anti-Semitism in this country as he has successfully sparked in other countries throughout history! But, we are not surprised at this, because The Cutting Edge has received the most virulent anti-Semitic email imaginable. Many Americans today possess an incredible amount of anti-Semitism in their hearts, just in time for Antichrist to burst on the scene, to direct this hatred in the way he wants it to go!!
Now, let us return to this article with Shifra Hoffman. "Shifra points out that Rabbi Kahane's book, 'Time To Go Home', analyzes how a once great country is running sour." Wow!! This conclusion sounds very much like our warnings, which are based upon Biblical doctrine and/or prophecy. But, here, an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Rabbi is able to see the same national decay, without the benefit of Scripture. But, we should not be surprised, for any serious student of history, or society, can see the "handwriting on the wall". If you look carefully, you can see the handwriting on America's national wall, reading " MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN." [Daniel 5:25] And, just like God was telling King Belshazzar of Babylon that he kingdom and his reign was over, so God is telling America today. America, as a nation, has turned her back on the God of the Bible, the God which was enough honored by our Forefathers that they established a government that was based upon Christian principles to an unprecedented degree. We have forgotten God's warning, in Jeremiah 12:17, "But if they [any nation] will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD." Do not be deceived: America is due for Divine Judgment, and it can be found in the Book of Revelation. In Seminar 1, we devote 6 hours of intense study to this subject, but today, all we can state is the bottom line -- American society is decaying rapidly, even though everything on the surface still looks strong. As a nation, America is finished.
Rabbi Kahane can see, and so can we. But, he can see coming persecution of the Jew in America, from his unique perspective born of the Holocaust. What does he see in our society that tells him we are close to persecuting Jews?
1) Large minorities, sensing the loss of their Federal Government handouts called "Entitlements" are beginning to blame the "rich Jew" for their problems.
2) During the 1973 Oil Embargo, during the gasoline shortages, America seemed to proliferate with anti-Semitic signs like, "America burns on gas, not bagels"; "No U.S. troops for Israel"; "We need Arab oil, not more wars"; "We disclaim the Holocaust; It's just an excuse to win reparations".
3) At the Million Man March, Farrakhan called the Jews "bloodsuckers". Then, Lenor Fulani of the New Alliance Party, supposedly speaking for Louis Farrakhan, warned of a "Zionist conspiracy against people of color"
4) On February 25,
1996, Abraham Lincoln's tomb was desecrated
"Tell me,"
Shifra asked, "How safe are Jews in America?"
This is a shocking
question for most Americans to ponder, because America has always
thought of itself as a haven for a persecuted peoples, and we
have certainly thrown the door open to the Jews. Our Constitution
and our laws prohibit discrimination of anyone based upon race
or religion, just to mention a couple of prohibitions. But, America
is changing, and Jews sensitive to the changes can see them occurring.
But, then Shifra Hoffman
makes a bold statement, based upon the Bible. Listen. "The
bottom line, however, is that G-d has promised and given us the
land of Israel to live in. It is time to leave the US. ... Shifra
appeals to all Jews to come home to Israel, if not for their own
sake, then for their children's sake. If you remain in the U.S.,
at best you'll be tolerated, and at worst, annihilated."
These are most powerful
words, but they are words which speak the same warning we have
been giving for some time now. The handwriting is on the wall:
American society has undergone tremendous changes since World
War II, and is now most anti-Christian. Or, at best, Liberal
Christian. Both types of people have proven themselves deadly
enemies of Jews.
Now, we want to focus on another aspect of this article. We want to focus on the assertion by Rabbi Kahane's organization, that God has promised to the Jews all the land of Israel. Certainly, God promised the land of Israel to Abraham and his descendents, but many people believe that His promise has been revoked, because of the Jew's sins against Him, and especially, because of their sin in killing Jesus Christ. However, this anti-Semitic position is simply not Biblical.
First, my Bible tells me that both Jew and Roman [Gentile] killed Jesus Christ. Both groups will stand in judgment for this crime.
Second, the Bible also declares that God will restore Israel to her ancient land, after she has been out of it for many, many years. This national restoration, God said, would occur in the "Last Days". We have devoted much time in discussing this issue, and we encourage you to download Radio Transcript, CE1054, "Modern Day Miracle of Israel's Rebirth" to see full Biblical documentation that God fulfilled many Bible prophecies when He brought Israel back to her land in 1948, against all historic and contemporary odds!!
Thirdly, God also
declares, at several points within the Bible, that He will bring
all the Jews back to Israel, after she has been restored!!
We shall study these wonderful promises in this article, showing that the call from Rabbi Kahane's organization for all Jews to return to Israel is a great and mighty fulfillment of Biblical prophecy during these "Last Days". Get your Bible and open it so you can follow along with us.
1) Amos 9:11-15, but especially verse 14, "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom ... Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt." [Israel will be very, very prosperous]
[vs 14] "And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, [literally reads, 'And I will bring back the exiles of my people Israel'] and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them."
[vs 15] "And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God."
prophecy has been partially fulfilled, as Israel has become prosperous,
but you haven't seen anything yet! Once God clears away the Arabs
of the House of Esau, Israel shall possess all her
former land, and shall be the most prosperous in history. We
have detailed these prophecies in NEWS1056 and NEWS1057,
and we encourage you to reread them now, to get detail too numerous
to go into here
2) .Zephaniah 3:20, "At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD." Notice here that God uses the words, "I gather you".
3) Zechariah 10:1-12, especially 6-8, "And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them ... I will hiss for them [as the keeper does for his bees], and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase [again] as they have increased [before]."
Isn't this choice
of words interesting? God says he will hiss for his people like
a beekeeper hisses for his bees, to draw them into the hive.
God is hissing for His people now, through Rabbi Kahane. But,
this "hissing" for His people has just begun!
4) Ezekiel 36:21-28, After God reviewed His dispersion which He had caused, scattering the Jews throughout the nations which surround them, God then speaks to the subject of restoring Israel back to her land, "But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went."
"And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes."
"For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land."
"Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you."
Verse 24 is most
interesting for God again uses the words, "gather you out
of all countries and will bring you back into your own land".
We know, from verses 26-27, that the timing for all these events
is at the End of the Age, when the Jews will "recognize Him
whom they have pierced", and will begin to live in the Second
Covenant of Jesus Christ, as the Church has been doing for the
past 2,000 years. God will do all this for Israel, for the glory
of His mighty name, which has been profaned for so many years.
You see, when God threw Israel out of her land, in 70 A.D., and
then finally in 135 A.D., many people laughed at the fact that
the Jews' God was so weak that He could not stop the Romans from
slaughtering the people and annihilating the country. But, in
the "Last Days", God promises to reinstate Israel, and
then call all her people back home, in the face of such incredible
odds that the entire world will know and understand that He exists
and is all powerful, after all!! We are seeing the fulfillment
of all these prophecies right now, right before our eyes!
5) Hosea 3:5,
"Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek
the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD
and his goodness in the latter days." In the "latter
days", the Jews shall return back to the land of Israel,
seeking God. Again, we see that all the Jews are going to come
back to Israel.
6) Micah 4:1-7, "But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it." Thus, we see God's promise that He will reestablish His power, authority and might in Israel generally and Mount Zion specifically.
But, then in verse
6, God specifically states that He will gather the people of Israel,
"In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth,
and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have
afflicted" An alternate reading might make this verse more
clear, "I will assemble the lame, and I will gather those
who have been driven away, and those whom I have afflicted."
7) Micah 7:19-20, "He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Thou wilt perform
the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast
sworn unto our fathers from the days of old."
In so many places in the Old Testament, God has promised to not only restore Israel back to her land as a nation in the "latter days", but to prosper her and defend her against all her enemies. But, in these verses, God is promising full reinstatement of the nation, to whom Jews from all over the world will flock to live! No longer will there be more Jews outside Israel than inside; no longer will there be any hint of a Diaspora. God will call His people, all of them, home. And, when they get there, the Jews will find an Israel whose borders have been enlarged, to include all the land God promised to Abraham. These borders include Lebanon, most of Jordan, a lot of Syria, and even some of Iraq! This coming war in the Middle East will probably accomplish this border enlargement, thus preparing the way for the fulfillment of the prophecies to bring all the Jews back to Israel.
Thus it is that this article is most interesting, as the organization of Rabbi Kahane's is calling for all Jews to make aliya, to come home to Israel where they truly belong, and where they will be truly safe. American Jews are not safe in America? Kahane and his people feel they see the beginning signs of persecution, and they are right. Kahane feels that America is no longer the great nation she once was, and he is right. Does Kahane know that Jews are one of the specific targets of this coming New World Order? I do not know, but I do know that he is very astute in his perception of our national scene.
God is calling His people home, through persecution and the threat of persecution, thus further demonstrating that we are in the very last days of time. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually. If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
Finally, we would love to hear from you. You can write us at:
God bless you.

text: Architects, graphic designers, painters, interior designers, carpenters, electricians, art handlers: it takes a small army of people to create the presentation of the museum's special exhibitions as well as to design and install the works of the museum's permanent collections in the galleries. The skills needed are varied and specialized, and many of the talents and resources are found in the museum's Collections Management and Design and Architecture departments. Often, these internal teams are supplemented by a cadre of local, national, and international contractors. But it is always a highly detailed, skilled, often frenetic, and wonderfully creative process that takes a curator's idea for an exhibition or gallery and brings it to life in a dramatic, exciting, and enjoyable experience for our visitors.

My 75-year-old cousin was making chicken soup for the holidays two weeks ago. All of a sudden she complained of a severe headache, passed out and died of an aneurysm. No warning; otherwise healthy. Now her husband is left to muddle through all the paperwork because her "affairs were not in order." My father, the lawyer, was speaking to me on the phone from Florida and 20 minutes later had a heart attack that killed him. It took us months to sort through his stuff to find the papers we needed to settle his estate. My friend had brain surgery for a tumor, is now exhibiting memory deficits, and her husband and business colleagues cannot figure out her password to access her home or office computer. These scenarios are but a few examples of events from my life. My point? All of us should take the time to organize our important paper work before a crisis occurs.
As we reach middle age we all should have three basic documents:
- A will to denote how we want to dispose of our assets and care for minor children or disabled adults under our guardianship.
- A Durable Power of Attorney who will carry out our wishes should we be incapacitated.
- A Living Will/Advanced Directives/Health Care Power of Attorney-a document stating our wishes medically and the designation of someone to carry them out.
Consider creating a "map" that would lead others on the path to finding your documents so they know what it is they are looking for and where exactly to find it. Start the list by going through all the places you keep the important papers and list the location and contents. For example "In the back of my top dresser drawer are the insurance policies and my living will."
Then make some master lists with as much contact and access information as you can provide:
- The location of home desks, hidden cabinets and drawers, home safe with combination or locks and any other non-obvious document storage locations.
- Information about your lawyer and all his contact information.
- Banking information including lists of the institutions, types of accounts, account numbers,
account owners, safe deposit boxes along with the box number and keys. Also note the name and contact information for any accountant, stock broker or financial advisor who may have other information on file.
- A listing of all credit card accounts noting the provider and account numbers.
- All insurance policies (health, life, property, auto, long term care, etc.) along with the name
and contact info for the agents.
- List all irreplaceable items that are locked up (either home or in a safety deposit box)
including jewelry, heirlooms, and documents such as marriage license, birth certificates, passports, stocks, bonds and death certificates. Make a photocopy of those documents for your household files and consider taking pictures of the jewelry or other items.
- Other important information; list all dates and places of birth, relative's names and contact
information, employers with dates of employment, all property, mortgage information, utilities with names of companies, account numbers with schedules of payments, and recent tax returns.
- Label your keys for your car(s), office, house, vacation home, boat, etc.
- A list of all regular deliveries such as newspapers, milk and all regular service providers such as lawn and snow removal.
- Waste collection schedule.
- Your password to log into your computer and passwords to all your online accounts.
- When you have finished, store a copy of this document:
- In a clearly marked folder in your home or office in a place that is safeguarded but will be able
to be found by the appropriate person.
- With your attorney, friend or family member or other trusted person who does not live with you.
- In your safe deposit box if you have one.
This exercise will take some time; especially if you need to create a "map" for those you might be caring for. But it will be well worth the effort. Let me know if I left something off my list or if you have other suggestions for tracking these all important items.

Meteoroid impact triggers bright flash on the moon

By Irene Klotz
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - An automated telescope monitoring the moon has captured images of an 88-pound (40 kg) rock slamming into the lunar surface, creating a bright flash of light, NASA scientists said on Friday.
The explosion on March 17 was the biggest seen since NASA began watching the moon for meteoroid impacts about eight years ago. So far, more than 300 strikes have been recorded.
"It exploded in a flash nearly 10 times as bright as anything we've ever seen before," Bill Cooke, with NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, said in a statement.
A NASA satellite orbiting the moon is now on a hunt for the newly formed crater, which scientists estimate could be as wide as 66 feet.
The flash was so bright that anyone looking at the moon at the moment of impact could have seen it without a telescope, NASA said.
After reviewing digital recordings made by one of the program's telescopes, scientists determined the space rock was about 1 foot in diameter, and traveling about 56,000 mph when it slammed into the moon and exploded with the force of five tons of TNT.
That same night, cameras detected an unusually high number of meteors blasting through Earth's atmosphere as well. Most meteors burn up well before reaching the ground.
But not always. In February, an asteroid estimated to be about 66 feet in diameter exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, damaging buildings and shattering glass, leaving more than 1,500 injured. It was the largest object to strike Earth since 1908.
"The Russian fireball was many orders of magnitude larger and possessed 100,000 times more energy," than the lunar impact, Cooke wrote in an email to Reuters.
He believes the lunar impact and the March 17 meteor shower on Earth are related, the result of both bodies traveling together through a region of space sprinkled with small rocks and dust.
"We'll be keeping an eye out for signs of a repeat performance next year when the Earth-moon system passes through the same region of space," Cooke said.

Sleuth the Scene
Write a story about these scenes
In 1929, Edward Hopper and his wife Josephine traveled to Charleston, South Carolina. In the countryside surrounding Charleston, Hopper encountered a woman standing in front of her cabin. Amost a quarter of a century later, Hopper painted the scene, perhaps from sketches, or from his memory and imagination.
In the early 1970s, William Eggleston began to take road trips with curator Walter Hopps, leaving from Memphis, Tennessee and venturing as far as the Pacific Coast. While in Huntsville, Alabama, Eggleston photographed a man in what appears to be a hotel room. Each artist created a specific mood in this pair of works depicting scenes from the American South. With your students, view and compare Edward Hopper's painting South Carolina Morning (1955) with William Eggleston's photograph Huntsville, Alabama (1971).
a. Ask students to spend some time looking at the figures in these two works. Study the poses, facial expressions, and body language of the man and woman. How would students describe the figures? Why?
b. Compare the setting and composition of each work. What are the similarities and differences? Encourage students to consider color, light, space, perspective, and point of view. Discuss the mood of each work. What details contribute to the mood? If students were to assign a genre to the story implied in each work, which genre would they assign? Why?
c. What do students think just happened in each of these scenes? What might happen next? Ask students to choose one of the characters in these works and write a story about the scene. Encourage students to incorporate details of what they see as well as using their imagination to compose their narrative. Share and discuss students' stories with the class. What narratives did they create based on their own observation and imagination?
