If you don't have the time to read Dave Ramsey's The Total Money Makeover, but are interested in Christian based financial freedom, The Money Answer Book may be the next best thing. Financial advisor Dave Ramsey has developed a money makeover plan that helps readers find freedom from debt and find contentment with what they already own. Ramsey's proven plan has taken millions of people out of debt and given them the financial freedom many of us envy. Ramsey's uses "7 Baby Steps" to financial freedom:
Step 1: $1000 in an emergency fund (that you can access immediately if needed)
Step 2: Pay off all debt using the "Debt Snowball"
Step 3: Save 3-6 months of expenses
Step 4: Invest 15% of your income into a Roth IRA
Step 5: Start College Savings Plan (if you have children)
Step 6: Pay off your home
Step 7: Build Wealth through investing and give to charitable organizations.
Ramsey encourages readers to follow these steps no matter how long it takes to complete each one. He also suggests getting rid of some of our "stuff" in order to meet our goals. For many of us, completing the first step may seem next to impossible let alone all 7. We don't enter into debt overnight, therefore freedom from debt takes time. Using a little effort and self control, it can be accomplished. Visit your local library and request a copy today!

The Valdosta Daily Times
Veterans are coming home from their nation's wars. They are civilians again. They need education opportunities. They need jobs.
In today's editions, readers will find a story about an education benefits and job fair held Wednesday for veterans. It was the latest such event sponsored by Valdosta Veterans First and Wiregrass Student Veteran's Association.
These programs are designed to get out the word on what's available to veterans returning to civilian life in South Georgia.
"There are a lot of programs in our community designed specifically to help veterans transition into civilian life and to help them as well as their families reintegrate into the community," Tim Oliver of Valdosta Veterans First has told The Times.
Valdosta Veterans First is part of the Community Blueprint project. Valdosta is one of three cities across the nation selected as a pilot city for the program.
The idea behind Community Blueprint is finding ways to "help local leaders assess and improve their community's support for veterans, warriors and their families," according to a mission statement. Representatives from 55 non-profit organizations, military family service organizations, faith-based groups and senior Veterans Administration, Department of Defense and Department of Labor officials identified eight mission areas. These areas are behavioral health, education, employment, family strength, financial-legal services, homelessness, reintegration, and volunteerism.
While the program is aimed at veterans, it is fueled by the dedication of area individuals, businesses, and organizations that want to help veterans find a new place in a new life.
More help is needed. More businesses could benefit from the expertise and discipline acquired by our young men and women who have served in the military. Imagine that discipline, dedication, work ethic and determination to accomplish a mission working for the success of your business.
As they were in the military, American veterans are a force to be reckoned with. All they need is a chance.
More information on how to help, contact Valdosta Veterans First, via Tim Oliver, Lt. Col. USAF (Ret.), (229) 561-5251.

June 20, 2012 —
May 10, 2004.
That was the blessed day a couple from Kentucky would stand hopefully in a courthouse in Seattle, Washington, while a Family Court judge legally proclaimed that their nine-year dream of parenthood finally had been realized.
A half-dozen other anxious couples, prospective grandparents and assorted relatives-to-be had gathered in the same courtroom to witness final adoption orders.
The children to be adopted ranged from pre-teens to a special 19-month-old toddler whom we hoped would become our fourth grandchild.
The judge's welcoming remarks included his first order of the day in which he instructed everyone present to be joyous because Mondays were "happiness days" in his courtroom.
This day would see no families ripped apart through contentious divorces or bitter child custody battles or accusations of physical or emotional abuse of the innocent.
The judge said it was the best day of the week for him because it made the other pain-filled days in Family Court a bit more tolerable.
"This is a special day when everyone leaves here as a member of a happy family," the judge said proudly.
He also reminded each couple that he had the privilege of having his photograph taken with each new family and that he liked to hold the little ones.
I remember thinking at the time that his comments were hokey but probably good for votes at election time. I soon realized, however, that they came straight from his heart.
A state social worker reported that our daughter and her husband had been approved in all respects to be adoptive parents.
The judge asked them if they were ready to be kind, loving parents for the rest of their lives. They said "yes" or something that choked out through their tears of joy.
The judge then issued the final decree and invited the new family, including grandparents, to join him on the bench. I couldn't wait to get up there as a proud, new papaw.
As the photos finished, the judge asked if he could have one with just him and our brand new granddaughter for his scrapbook.
Later, he told me that he collected those photos because he was just as proud as a country doctor who delivered babies.
"Happy Adoption Day" is how our daughter and her family describe May 10.
They say each year the joy of being parents makes it harder to recall the heartaches of those years before.
And the rest of us feel blessed each day that they went west to complete their family.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The "Splash" statue is not gone after all.
The beloved $50,000, 500-pound fountain sculpture of children playing in the rain was recently stolen from a flower garden at Charlotte's Easter Seals UCP Children's Center – and believed to be chopped up for scrap. Instead, it was found in Annie Sherard's front yard on Walnut Avenue in west Charlotte, about a 10-minute drive from the center.
It appeared to be undamaged.
"That is wonderful news," Betsy Dailey, the local Easter Seals community director, said Saturday. "Annie is a hero. The children will be so happy to have it back. Everyone told us that it was probably melted down and gone.
"God is great."
Yet there was one piece of confusing information: The sculpture had been dumped in Sherard's yard more than two weeks ago. But center officials thought it'd been missing for a few days.
"I got up early – I know it was at least two weeks ago – to take my blood pressure medication and looked out the window to see if the newspaper had come," Sherard said Saturday. "That sculpture was the first thing I saw."
She thought her son had dropped it off. But Thursday, when he paid her a visit after two weeks, "he said, 'That's a nice of piece of sculpture in the front yard, Mama. Where'd you get it?'
"And I said, 'You didn't bring it?"
So Friday morning, she called Wilton Connor, whose house she kept for 20 years, and asked if he might know where Splash had come from.
"I didn't until I saw the story (about the missing sculpture) in the newspaper (Saturday) morning," Connor said. He called her back, and asked her to describe the sculpture.
"She described it perfectly," he said.
The greening 3-foot-tall bronze statue depicts a life-sized girl holding an umbrella, a boy about to skip a rock and another boy with a leg brace and a crutch laid down so he can launch a boat.
It was installed at the center in 2002, a gift from Irwin and Carol Belk on the center's 40th anniversary. The child development center, named for the Belks, is for children six weeks through pre-kindergarten – with and without disabilities.
Dailey is not sure how the sculpture went missing for two weeks before a child noticed it was gone Friday morning. It is a centerpiece for a flower garden and the flowers had grown taller than Splash, They could have obscured the vision from the road.
Dailey's sure she saw it a week ago, and a van driver thought it'd been gone for a couple days.
"This is embarrassing," she said. "We will make sure the flowers are cut back, and that the sculpture is more secure."
Saturday, it took two Charlotte firemen and a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer to load the piece onto a police pick-up truck.
Police have no suspects in the statue's theft.
Monday, Splash will be back home.
"It's always amazing to me how cruel people can be," said CMPD officer B.C. Yandle. "To take something like this from Easter Seals – and children who enjoy it. That's beyond comprehension."

Discover 14-18
Over 1.7 million men and women of the Commonwealth forces and civilians died during the two world wars. The vast majority of our readers probably have forebears or fairly close family members amongst those listed on the website of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). You can use a combination of filters to focus on people of interest who appear in its "Find War Dead" database.
CWGC has recently launched Discover 14-18, a microsite that features richly illustrated timelines and also calendar of events planned to commemorate particular aspects of WW1. Content is themed around major battles and the different roles of the Army, Navy and Air Force, all linking back to the CWGC memorial sites and other online archives.
These new resources provide excellent material for understanding the context and course of the conflict. They will also make locating and visiting memorial sites of relatives killed during the war easier than ever before.

Van Eck Global Hard Assets is a speciality fund whose niche investments have seen some outstanding returns.
As of July 03, 2014, the fund has assets totaling almost $4.77 billion invested in 60 different holdings. Its portfolio consists of companies that derive their profits from hard assets.
This fund focuses on companies that produce, develop, distribute, and explore hard assets. Hard assets include precious metals and natural resources. As such, its portfolio consists almost exclusively of companies in just two sectors: basic materials and energy. As of the end of 2010, its top holdings included Haliburton, Anadarko Petroleum Corp., and Alpha Natural Resources. While the majority of the fund's holdings are based in the United States, it also has significant exposure to international companies. These include the Swiss company Weatherford International and Kinross Gold Corporation, a Canadian business. Derek van Eck, who had been with the fund since its inception, died in 2010. A large team led by Charles Cameron currently runs the fund. The fund has returned 31.76 percent over the past year and 1.82 percent over the past three years.
Over time, this fund has put together some impressive numbers. Hard assets have outrun the broader market over the past decade, and this fund's long-term results bear testimony to that. As of the end of April, its trailing 10-year returns beat those of the S&P 500 by an average of 15 percentage points per year. The fund has returned 11.24 percent over the past five years and 13.77 percent over the past decade.
Investment Strategy
According to the fund's prospectus: "The Fund may invest without limitation in any one hard asset sector and is not required to invest any portion of its assets in any one hard asset sector. The Fund may invest in securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including the U.S. Under ordinary circumstances, the Fund will invest in securities of issuers from a number of different countries, and may invest any amount of its assets in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any capitalization range. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative measures, the Fund's investment management team selects equity securities of companies that it believes represent value opportunities and/or that have growth potential."
Role in Portfolio
Morningstar calls this fund a "speciality" holding.
Charles Cameron, along with a team of researchers, runs the fund.
Van Eck Global Hard Assets Fund has an expense ratio of 1.38 percent.
This is a speciality fund that is quite concentrated by sector.

- Wires should cradle the breast tissue - never press against it. Your bra should support, not cause discomfort.
- Breasts should not bulge out of the cup either at the top or at the side and, equally, the cup should not gape.
- The band should sit horizontally across your back in line with the wires at the front.
- Adjust the length of your straps to give support but they should be comfortable.
Our guide to measuring your breasts will help you to find the right bra for you
- Find your band by measuring around your ribcage just below your breast tissue, the tape should be snug but don't pull too tight.
- If this measurement is an even number add 4 to give your back size, if this is an odd number add 5. For example if you measure 28 inches, add 4 to get 32 or if you measure 31 inches add 5 to get a back size of 36.
- Measure around the fullest part of your breasts, again don't pull the tape too tight.
- Calculate your cup size by working out the difference between this measurement and your back size. If your bust measure 1 inch more than your back size this is an A cup. 2 inches more is = B cup, 3 inches more = C cup and so on.

By KBB.com Editors - Updated Date: 9/26/2012
There was a time, not long ago, when muscle cars and high fuel prices were about as compatible as oil and water. But, despite record fuel prices, the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro and other modern muscle cars continue to defy the odds and post strong sales numbers. Boasting impressive horsepower and mpg to match, the Camaro is a spirited performer that's also reasonably practical for everyday use. The fierce rivalry with the fellow domestics, the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger, is back in full swing, as each manufacturer offers efficient yet powerful standard powertrains plus high-horsepower performance variants. From the fun-loving convertible models to the near super-car performance of the mighty Camaro ZL1, there is a Chevy Camaro flavor for just about every need and budget.
Sports car buffs looking to get a great deal of horsepower for the money will find the 2013 Chevy Camaro an enticing proposition. And for those looking to turn some heads, the Camaro has plenty of show to match its go.
The 2013 Camaro's striking visual appeal does not carry over to the interior, where inexpensive materials and hard plastics produce a rather uninspiring ambiance. Although the Chevy Camaro offers exceptional horsepower at an affordable price, the same does not necessarily hold true when it comes to handling.What's New for 2013
The Chevy Camaro receives a number of improvements for the 2013 model year, highlights of which include an available MyLink Infotainment system with navigation, hill-start assist for manual-transmission models, electric power steering for SS trims and a new track-ready 1LE package designed to bridge the performance gap between Camaro SS models and the range-topping ZL1.
We were given the opportunity to spend equal time in every 2013 Camaro trim, from the V6-powered LS to the 580-horsepower ZL1. Admittedly, we enjoyed all the cars, but spent the lion's share of our time testing the well-rounded SS equipped with the 6-speed manual (our gearbox of choice, as automatic transmissions feature an Active Fuel Management system that reduces horsepower output by nearly seven percent). With its ever-present torque and seemingly endless horsepower reserves, it's easy to make the SS go fast. Aided by GM's electronic launch control, our Camaro SS was able to tackle the zero-to-60-mph run in 4.4 seconds, a mere half-second slower than the $56,000 ZL1. On the other hand, tossing nearly two tons of American muscle around a race track required plenty of finesse, and the somewhat portly Camaro's weight could be felt in situations demanding a high level of precision and agility. Furthermore, limited outward visibility made it difficult to judge the Camaro's dimensions and, despite its sensible proportions, parking in tight spots was an overly frustrating task.
Certainly beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we are of the opinion that the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro looks like a car that could command a much higher price tag. The details like the grille, rear roof pillars and taillights are simply gorgeous.
Camaros of old were great in a straight line, but a lot less great around corners, especially if the road surface was uneven. The 21st century Camaro – particularly in 1LE or ZL1 form – is much more at home in those challenging situations.
Standing in sharp contrast to the brilliant execution of the Camaro's exterior is its lackluster interior. Large expanses of hard plastics on the doors and center console look and feel cheap, and will likely scratch easily over time. But, what the Camaro's interior lacks in execution it more than makes up for in design, with two large hooded binnacles housing the speedometer and tachometer, and an available gauge package comprised of oil temperature, oil pressure, volts and transmission-fluid temperature placed at the end of the center console. Some drivers did complain about the absence of any form of adjustable lumbar support for the front seats, and everyone agreed the absurdly small sun visors were all but useless when positioned to block the sun at the driver's-side window. As for the Camaro's backseat, let's just say it is as small and confining as you would expect.
Some cars attempt a retro feel that just looks odd or over the top, but the Camaro's design team nailed the spirit of the original without insulting it. A stunning looker from every angle, the 2013 Camaro's visual appeal is striking. Nowhere is this more evident than the intersection between the massive rear fenders and the crisp-edged rear roof pillar, a joining that makes a bold statement as well as a massive blind spot for the driver. The aggressive recessed grille and headlamp treatment add an air of wickedness, as does the SS model's massive 5-spoke wheel and tire package. Rounding out the look are classic hooded Camaro taillights and a subtle rear-deck spoiler.
The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro offers both coupe and convertible body styles and over a half-dozen trim levels. While this wide array of Camaro models might seem overwhelming at first glance, Chevrolet's trim-dependent ordering structure helps simplify the purchasing process by minimizing the number of individual options and packages. Base LS models (coupe only) include a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, 18-inch steel wheels and 6-speaker audio system with Bluetooth and a basic auxiliary audio jack, while LT versions add alloy wheels, power-adjustable front seats and Chevrolet's new MyLink audio system interface with a 7-inch touch-screen. Stepping up to the SS model will get you 20-inch alloys, a limited-slip differential and, most importantly, the 426-horsepower V8. Safety and security equipment consists of six airbags, GM's StabiliTrak electronic stability control and emergency/concierge services via OnStar embedded telematics.Notable Optional Equipment
2013 marks the triumphant return of the 1LE package, and brings with it massive 20-inch 10-spoke wheels with high-performance tires, track-tuned suspension and revised gearing. Outside of conventional niceties such as navigation, heated seats and xenon headlights, the 2013 Camaro offers a wealth of appearance enhancements ranging from racing stripes to ground effects. LT and SS models take personalized styling to the next level with the available Dark Special Edition package, which adds an extra dose of sinister to the Camaro with halo rings for the headlights, Blue Ray Metallic paint and a 2-tone interior color scheme.Under the Hood
The 2013 Camaro offers four engine choices: A 323-horsepower 3.6-liter direct-injected LFX V6, 400-horsepower 6.2-liter L99 V8 with Active Fuel Management, 426-horsepower 6.2-liter LS3 V8 and a 580-horsepower supercharged LSA V8. The V6 and the LSA can be backed by either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The L99 is accompanied by a 6-speed automatic with steering wheel-mounted paddle-shift control, while the LS3 has a 6-speed manual.
3.6-liter V6
323 horsepower @ 6,800 rpm
278 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/27 mpg (automatic), 19/30 mpg (automatic 2LS), 17/28 mpg (manual)
6.2-liter V8 (L99)
400 horsepower @ 5,900 rpm
410 lb-ft of torque @ 4,300 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/24 mpg
6.2-liter V8 (LS3)
426 horsepower @ 5,900 rpm
420 lb-ft of torque @ 4,600 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/24 mpg

580 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
556 lb-ft of torque @ 4,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/19 mpg (manual), 12/18 mpg (automatic)
The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 1LS has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of just over $24,000, with convertible LT models starting above $31,000. Opting for the V8-powered SS adds roughly $8,000. High-performance ZL1 variants begin above $56,000, including the federally-mandated gas-guzzler tax. The Camaro's closet competitor and arch nemesis, the Ford Mustang, starts right around $23,000, while a base Dodge Challenger will be about $2,000 over a base 2013 Camaro. Before heading to the dealership and to see what buyers in your area are really paying for the Chevrolet Camaro, be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book's Fair Purchase Price. In terms of resale value, the Camaro is expected to retain the highest residual values in the segment.

CHICAGO (AP) — How much will an Illinois fast food cook pay for insurance under President Barack Obama's health care law? How about a preschool teacher? Or a freelance writer?
Price information has been difficult to come by because of technical glitches on the federal health insurance marketplace where Illinois residents must buy insurance if they want to take advantage of new tax credits that will help them pay the cost. Frustrating delays and error messages have prevented users from seeing prices.
The Associated Press asked an independent consulting company, Chicago-based Stonegate Advisors, to run an analysis of Illinois rates and find the average monthly costs for three hypothetical households: a single 30-year-old fast-food cook, a single 50-year-old preschool teacher and a 40-year-old freelance writer with a family.
The analysis found:
• FAST FOOD COOK: A 30-year-old fast food-cook living in Chicago and making $18,000 a year could expect to pay, on average, $98 a month for a bronze plan after receiving financial assistance. The same worker could expect to pay $156 a month for a silver plan, also after a subsidy.
In Springfield, the fast food cook could get a bronze plan for $31 a month or a silver plan for $101 a month, after subsidies. In Belleville, the cook could get a bronze plan for $23 a month or a silver plan for $89 a month, after the tax credit.
• PRESCHOOL TEACHER: A 50-year-old preschool teacher living in Chicago and making $30,000 a year could expect to pay $261 a month for a bronze plan, or $352 a month for a silver plan, after qualifying for a tax credit.
In Springfield, the preschool teacher would pay $157 a month for a bronze plan or $267 a month for a silver plan. In Belleville, the teacher would pay $144 a month for a bronze plan or $249 a month for a silver plan.

When Easton residents walk down the Karl Stirner Arts Trail—a mile-and-a-half stretch along the Bushkill Creek connecting the Williams Arts Campus on North Third Street to the proposed Silk Mill arts community on 13th Street—they'll see a unique sculpture designed by a diverse team of Lafayette students.
As Ed Kerns, Klapp Professor of Art, says, "Students love real projects." And through the support of the College's Mellon Foundation grant, a team of nine students got to sink their teeth into a sculpture that required engineering, artistic, and environmental know-how. They spent about a year designing a miniature clay ziggurat to be located on the floodplains of the arts trail.
View and share more images of the project on Flickr
They chose the ziggurat as a monument to the ancient Mesopotamian culture and its close relationship with waterways and rivers. About 13 feet in length, it will slowly erode from contact with the water and wind to reveal another sculpture inside, which will be a monument to the ziggurat that disappears. When the students return to campus this fall, they will build the actual sculpture out of mud bricks to be installed on the trail.
Art and mechanical engineering double major Ritesh Maharjan '13 (Katmandu, Nepal) is the team leader. He is joined by civil engineering majors Se Hyung "Daniel" Kim '13 (Willow Grove, Pa.) and Sarah Hardy '14 (Rowley, Mass.), art and engineering studies double major Christa Martinez '13 (Houston, Texas), self-designed architecture major Xinyi "Sandy" Ma '13 (Nanjing, China), recent art graduates Imogen Cain '12 and Sam Strong '12, Katie Panto '12, who graduated with a self-designed major of media and communication, and Kayo Yamada '12, who graduated with a self-designed major of computer science and art.
In addition to Kerns, the team was advised by Nestor Gil, assistant professor of art, Jim Toia, director of the community arts program, and David Brandes and David Veshosky, associate professors of civil and environmental engineering. Dru Germanoski, Van Artsdalen Professor and head of geology and environmental geosciences, is in charge of the Mellon Grant at Lafayette and first approached Kerns about assembling an artistic team, allocating about $40,000 for the project.
"This was an opportunity to design and install a major piece of public art and what more can an art student want," says Maharjan. "It brings together students from various disciplines, which is something Lafayette has always pushed as an invaluable skill in the modern world."
The ziggurat's disappearing act is a comment on the interplay between human development and the environment, says Kim, who was the team's structural designer and environmental consultant. He designed the foundation and the inside sculpture to withstand the floods. Along with Hardy and Ma, he chose a trail location that will cause the least disturbance to the local ecosystem.
Kerns explains that the ziggurat is art as social practice at its best, the idea of art that engages with issues of the day—sustainability, the environment, politics, etc.
"The students learned that when you work with the natural environment, there is no longer any such thing as a value-free question," he says. "It impacts something or someone. Ethics, morality, behavior, and balancing the needs of the land all play a role."
In addition to faculty, the students were mentored by three professional artists, who also designed individual proposals for the trail. Nancy Cohen, William Lamson, and Lauren Rosenthal consulted with the student team, helping them push their boundaries and explore all possibilities in their design.
Like Maharjan, Kim enjoys the opportunity to blend engineering and art. He says working with such a multidisciplinary team made him see his own major in a whole new light.
"Who would have thought that I would be working with artists during my time at Lafayette as an engineering student," he says. "But this got me out of my civil engineering bubble, and I faced new challenges with people who have a different background and different mindset. Art can be anything—drawing, singing, cooking, etc. After this project, I realized it can refer to engineering as well. The sculpture itself represents the idea of human interactivity with the environment through the erosion of one sculpture and the permanence of another. It's so powerful."
The campus and local communities will be able to see the student team's proposal as well as those of each visiting professional artist in an exhibit at the Grossman Gallery this fall. Kerns hopes the exhibit will attract donors who will help turn the artists' proposals into reality. The Mellon Grant will support the building of the student proposal.

Max, a Shepherd mix, came to us about three years ago. He had been abandoned in East Nashville; obviously "one man's trash"....Max was skinny, dirty, and in much need. We did the normal stuff to get him ready for adoption, but guess what,???? He now works to help protect the same "species" that dumped him. Max is a search and rescue dog in West Tennessee...Love this dog! He is a "treasure"...
Destiny's Story...
Proverbs 12:10 helped Cheatham County Animal Control by rescuing about 28 dogs from the many who were surrendered by a family in November 2009. Elbert is shown (below left) with Proverbs Director, Lavonne, at the time he was rescued. He was obviously extremely thin, was covered with bed sores as well as being heartworm positive. Lavonne provided him with one-on-one attention, home cooked food throughout his heartworm treatment and he is now available for adoption.

Hey GOP, Can't We All Just Get Along?
Republicans blasting Republicans is no key for success.
President Obama and the Democrats blame the Republicans. The Republicans blame themselves. Even the chairman of the Republican National Committee revealed that voters see the GOP as "scary." After its brutal loss in November, the lingering question is whether the GOP will survive, rebuild and strengthen or become part of political history.
The report released this week by the Republican National Committee is the first step in acknowledging the technological, grassroots and messaging deficiencies in the party and the tools needed to compete for votes. Republicans also need to learn from the states where 30 Republican governors are succeeding and growing their grassroots efforts.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Republican Party.]
If CPAC was any indication of the future of conservatism and the Republican Party, the GOP will make a strong comeback. The halls of the Gaylord hotel were filled with energetic young students, women and men making the case for a more accountable efficient government and individual empowerment. The speakers spoke passionately about the need to fight for freedom (both economic and religious) and limit government intrusion in our lives as well as protecting the most vulnerable in our society.
What hurts the GOP is when we have leaders placing the blame on other leaders within the party. Governor Sarah Palin's attack on Karl Rove was unnecessary. Their petty back and forth does not advance the cause. Trying to make Karl Rove enemy #1 and pit so-called establishment against the Tea party movement further breaks down the party. All the while President Obama and his followers are smoking cigarettes on the White House balcony and laughing at how silly the Republicans appear as they attack their own.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Is Karl Rove's Conservative Victory Group Good for the GOP?]
The Republicans should heed the advice of the first Republican president Abraham Lincoln: A house divided against itself cannot stand. Republicans need to unite to succeed. They also should focus on President Obama's inability to govern and his weak policies that fail to lift Americans out of despair and poverty. Health care premiums are rising; more people are receiving food stamps; children are stuck in mediocre schools with few options and more government spending is simply resulting in a bloated inefficient government.
The Republicans have a chance when poll after poll shows that the majority American people do not agree with President Obama's policies although they may "like" him and the Democratic Party. The soul searching is over and this is moment for the Republicans to unite, market themselves effectively and not let the other party define them.

George, thanks for dropping me an email to remind me to check in once in a while. The dark part of the year never fails to send me into a sort of creative zone where I lose track of all time and space. Aside from that, I've been traveling to fun locations researching my next novel. I still say it's one of the best parts of writing--discovering new people and places. I'm glad you enjoyed Sacred Prey. Thanks for picking it up! I promise to check in more regularly. Until next time -- Cheers!

Comments: Hi Keith ... Thanks! Adapting Sacred Prey into a novel was the best thing I ever did for myself as a writer. It gave me new freedom and control within an industry that can leave you feeling completely powerless. Congratulations on making this step! I love to hear of screenwriters taking the plunge into novels. It doesnt work for everyone, but when it does, it opens a whole new world of story-telling. You may struggle at first, wanting the story and characters to go exactly as your screenplay. As theyre completely different mediums, you have to be open to change. The characters will take on their own voices and the story will most certainly shift. It wasnt until I started thinking of the screenplay as a mere outline for the novel, that I began to enjoy the whole process. Without the restrictions of screenwriting, I was overwhelmed at first, but once I realized I could jump into my characters thoughts, go back in time, not worry about film budgets
-- basically write exactly what I wanted -- I found it a truly liberating and fantastic experience. My only other advice would be to read novels. Not necessarily in your genre, but outside of your genre. Read classics. Theres a reason theyve been around for so long. Lastly, have fun with it! Good luck to you and keep me posted on your progress.

Monday, December 03
Partners for Advanced Transportation TecHnology (PATH)Mr. Wei-Bin Zhang, Program Manager, PATH Program, University of California, Berkeley, Richmond, CA
Energy & Transportation Science Division Seminar
Contact: Andreas Malikopoulos (firstname.lastname@example.com), 865.946.1529
AbstractFounded in 1986, the California PATH Program was the first ITS research program in the United States. PATH's mission is to develop solutions to the problems of surface transportation systems through cutting edge research. Since its inception, PATH has participated actively in major national ITS research programs in the U.S., including the original ITS Architecture development, National Automated Highway Systems Consortium, Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI), Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration (VII), IntelliDrive and SafeTrip-21. PATH collaborates closely with Caltrans and local and regional agencies in California to develop, implement and evaluate advanced systems solutions for improving efficiency and safety of the transportation infrastructure. PATH researchers have also worked closely with industrial partners on a wide range of enabling technologies for mobility, traffic and safety applications. In this presentation, Mr. Wei-Bin Zhang will provide an overview of PATH program, covering research areas involving eco-driving, connected vehicles, vehicle assist and automation, and transit.
About the speaker: WEI-BIN ZHANG is a Research Engineer and a Program Manager at the California PATH Program, Institute of Transportation Studies of University of California at Berkeley (UCB).
Between 1980 and 1986, Mr. Zhang was a Lecturer at Northern Jiaotong University and was involved in earlier development of railway computer control systems. In 1987, Mr. Zhang joined Institute of Transportation Studies and participated in the early founding of the California PATH Program. For the past 25 years, Mr. Zhang has been a national leader in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) research. Between 1987 and 1994, his primary research is in the area of Advanced Vehicle Control and Safety Systems (AVCSS) technologies, among which he developed magnetic guidance system that was later adopted for various applications worldwide. Between 1994 and 1995, he was the Technical Director of National Automated Highway Systems Consortium (NAHSC), a $210M national program led by the U.S. Department of Transportation and General Motors. He was responsible for overseeing the technical activities of the overall program. Between 1996 and 1997, Mr. Zhang managed the preparation for a major demonstration for Demo '97, a Congress-mandated national technical feasibility demonstration of Automated Highway Systems. Since 1997, Mr. Zhang worked with Caltrans, federal DOT and local agencies to establish various research and deployment programs, including advanced technologies for highway winter maintenance vehicles, transit ITS research, Transit Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI), Vehicle Assist and Automation (VAA), Integrated Corridor Management (ICM), and Next generation traffic control technologies. He has led the efforts to transform PATH from a Caltrans-focused research program to an entrepreneurial multi-faceted applied research and development organization, obtaining and delivering many internationally-renowned ITS research projects.
Mr. Zhang has published over two hundred papers and reports in the areas of automated vehicle control, advanced transit and traffic control technologies and ITS systems issues. Mr. Zhang is a senior member of IEEE and is currently a member of Board of Governor of IEEE ITS Society. He has contributed to many ITS conferences, among which he was the co-chair of 2011 IEEE FIST Conference 2011 and the Program Chair of 2012 IEEE ITS conference. He also served on various Technical and program committees for TRB, ITSC and APTA. Mr. Zhang is a member of ITSA International Council and was the Chair for ITS America's China Committee. He was a founder for North America Chinese Transportation Association (NOCOTA, now COTA) and a founding member of Society of Chinese American Professors and Scientists (CoCAPS). He was the board member of International Chinese Professional Association (ICTPA) and President of Northern California Chapter.

March 23, 1951 - Ron Jaworski has come a long ways since his days in Western New York. It looks like he was one of the lucky few who won't need to get a job without a football connection.
Jaworski was the classic three-spot standout (football, baseball, basketball) when he played high school sports in Lackawanna. His right arm was good enough to attract the attention of the St. Louis Cardinals, who drafted him out of high school. Jaworski wanted to sign and try his luck, but his dad -- who worked in a lumber yard -- wanted his son to go to college.
Therefore, it was off to Youngstown State. His father got to see Ron hold for place-kicks before he died in 1971. Ron's career took off shortly after that. He was a standout at Youngstown, and even played in the Senior Bowl to solidify his ranking as a top prospect.
Jaworski was drafted in the second round by the Los Angeles Rams in 1973, and spent four years there. Then his rights were traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. There coach Dick Vermeil helped him reach the top of the profession Ñ Super Bowl quarterback. The Eagles lost to the Raiders in 1981.
Jaworski started in 116 straight games at quarterback, the NFL record until Brett Favre broke it. Along the way he became known as "Jaws," a nickname placed by basketball player and coach Doug Collins who said Ron's mouth was always open.
Jaworski became a free agent in 1987 and played briefly for Miami and Kansas City before retiring in 1990. There it was on to broadcasting. Jaworski worked his way up the ladder there, and is now an analyst with ESPN.

And the main reason I, or anyone for that matter, scrapbooks is so that they can preserve the memories; have photos, and journaling in an album, documenting their everyday life. We thus create a record of our family history for our kids and future generations to come; something for them to remember us by in the far far future.
Every family has a history. A story to tell. One day, while thinking on this topic, I realized that my little daughter didn't really know much about our ancestors. Learning our family history gives each of us a place in the family structure and explains where we came from, how we fit in and how the family has grown and changed over time. So out came the old ring albums with my parents' photos. You probably have one album just like that too. But with age, the album has disintegrated and all the photos have become fragile and have started to lose their color. That was when this project was born.
Project: Protect our ancestors' photographs and heritage in an archival safe way.
These days there are many options available to preserve your old photographs. You can use archival safe photo boxes, which look like shoeboxes, but are built with archival safe adhesives, to store your photos and prevent fade. This way, you photos can be organized and protected so that they can be enjoyed for years to come.
Alternately, you could create a scrapbook of all old photographs, and include any and all old scriptures or documents available. Make sure that the adhesives you are using are archival safe and so are any inks. I would suggest that you scan these documents and photographs and make copies of them to use. This can easily been done at any photo/scrapbooking store or online.
To document our family history, I chose to make a family wall art canvas. This project can easily be modified into a scrapbook layout that would go into an album. I wanted the photographs displayed up on the wall, so that my daughter could see them often and we could talk about the people in the photographs.
To begin, I chose a 16 by 20 inch canvas and primed it with white acrylic paint.
While the paint was still wet, I spritzed the canvas with some yellow mist and patted into the canvas. I let it dry for a couple of hours. This will make the canvas looked a bit aged.
Once the canvas dried, I chose few patterned papers and punched out 2.25-inch squares from them using the new 3X lever punches. I then arranged them onto the canvas. I matted them with cream cardstock and inked all the edges with some brown ink. I also ran the inkpad along the edges of the canvas to distress it a bit.
I scanned our entire ancestor' photographs, and using a photo editing software, added a title to each photo. I then printed my photos and trimmed them to size. You could instead include your handwriting and write who is in the photograph using an archival safe pen.
I added a couple of blocks without photos, as decorative blocks to add some interest to the canvas. For these I used squeeze punches and buttons. I then adhered all my photo squares onto the canvas using glue dots.
I finally added the title "family" and added some cardstock beneath it and ran a strip of burlap to finish the canvas. I cut the V shape from cardstock using the Microtip scissor and then used a regular pencil to give a slight curl to it.

The Fort Gibson Tigers aren't exactly where they wanted to be at the beginning of the season heading into the first round of the Class 4A playoffs, but there are 16 other schools whose seasons are done that wouldn't mind trading places with them.
The Tigers (6-4) finished in fourth place in District 4A-4, meaning they will head to Wagoner, 10-0 on the year and No. 2 in the final Associated Press 4A poll, to open the playoffs at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
"We're ready to go," said Fort Gibson coach James Singleton. "We're one of the 16 teams and we have a chance to go win a gold ball. There were 16 schools that were packing up (Monday) and we're not."
For the first time since the 2009 season, the Bulldogs, the District 4A-3 champions, have no surprises when it comes to moving the football. Senior Lawrence Evitt, who ran for 2,980 yards last year, is the featured back again this year in Wagoner's attack, having rushed for 1,783 yards on 159 carries while reaching the end zone 22 times.
"Lawrence is a great athlete," Singleton said. "He's a burner, a 4.38 guy. There's not a lot of those in the state of Oklahoma so it's not like (Wagoner coach Dale Condict) is plugging in an ordinary guy. The guys he's plugging in are going on to play Division I football."
The Tigers are looking to remove from their minds what happened to them last Friday. Fort Gibson committed six turnovers in a 47-28 loss at Sallisaw and Singleton knows if that happens Friday, his guys will be cleaning out their lockers on Saturday.
"You kind of want to ring it up as one of those nights," Singleton said. "We had some big drops in key situations."
Wagoner, on the other hand, enters the postseason fresh off a 31-15 win over Vinita. While the Bulldogs completed their first undefeated regular season since 2010, to a man they feel there best football is yet to come.
"Even in our players and coaches minds, there's more room for improvement than we've normally had at this point and time," Condict said. "To be honest, I'm not sure that can't be a good thing, as long as we know we still need to and can improve. I don't feel by any means we've played our best game yet."
And while the Tigers' defense will focus on limiting Evitt's production, the Bulldogs will be looking to keep Fort Gibson quarterback J.R. Singleton in check. Coach Singleton's son, in his third year as a starter, has completed 84 of 180 attempts for 1,569 yards while rushing for 875 yards on 137 carries and 17 touchdowns.
"Beyond just his skill set, you see the competitor in him," Condict said. "You see his toughness and I'm sure that spills over into the other players."
While on paper this is a matchup between a first-place from one district and fourth-place team from another, Condict is emphasizing to his squad that the placing does not tell the story about the opponent.
"The scary thing for us is I don't think that district put out a fourth-place team this year," Condict said. "I think the caliber of opponent we have this year is better that in previous years. That's what great about playoffs – it's all going to play out."

Listening to the songs on the Avalon album. Great name and the songs rock. I am going to get my copy soon. As soon as I can afford it. Bills to pay and animals to feed. . Godsmack rocks, no doubt about it. Sully has an awesome voice. Can't wait to hear the whole album.
