Listed below is some valuable information and tips to help you while browsing our vast online selection of appliances, electronics and bedding products.
- Ask an Expert. Use our knowledgeable and attentive salespeople as a resource. Our sales associates are well versed on both the products we sell and the promotions we have access to in order to assist you in finding the best products to fit both your needs and your budget. Call 888.396.8165 or click here to find the location nearest you.
- Check our promotions page and online Outlet Center. Maximize your dollar with specials from Grand. The promotions page lists all manufacturer incentives and Grand-only specials by brand and product type. The online Outlet Center features floor models, scratch and dent, clearance and discontinued product. Be sure to check both before you buy.
- Carefully measure your available space. Be sure to measure in multiple spots because cabinets and countertops are not always cut or set completely straight. Also, be on the lookout for pipes, valves or other obstructions that may cause installation problems.
- Double-check the fuel for appliances powered by gas or electricity. You may have never thought to check this with your current appliances, particularly your dryer. However, features and pricing vary based on the fuel type so it is important to determine the proper fuel early in the shopping process.
- Accessorize your purchase. We stock all the cables, cleaners, mounts and other accessories you need to complete your purchase. Budgeting for accessories like cables, surge protectors, cleaners, etc. will help you plan for your purchase to include everything you need for installation, proper performance and maintenance of your new purchase.
- Let us deliver and install your purchase. Most people only purchase the products we sell a couple times in a lifetime; we deliver and install them every day. Our courteous, professionally trained crews are capable of delivering and installing your purchase according to the manufacturer's specifications with care and respect for you and home.

Delivery and Installation
Let us deliver and install the products you've purchased. While you may only purchase the products we sell a couple times in your lifetime, we deliver and install these products to customers just like you every day. Our crews can deliver your new purchase with care for you and your home and install the products to perform up to the manufacturer's specifications.
Our goal is to make planning for and accepting a delivery as easy as possible. To that end, here are some ways we separate ourselves from our competitors:
- Quick Delivery Turnaround. We deliver six days per week in most markets in order to be able to accommodate your schedule.
- Accurate Delivery Windows. We use sophisticated software to plan each delivery route so we can provide you with accurate two to three hour delivery windows the day before your delivery.
- Real-Time GPS Delivery Tracking. Our delivery trucks are equipped with GPS tracking devices so we can notify you on the day of your deliver if there are any unforeseen delays.
- Driver Call Aheads. Our drivers will call you 30-40 minutes before arriving so you can meet them back at the home if you need to be away from home at any time during the delivery window. This is especially helpful when receiving a new refrigerator because it gives you an opportunity to clean out your refrigerator while they're en route to minimize the potential for food spoilage.
- Follow-Up Calls. We want to make sure you were happy with your delivery experience, which is why we call every customer the day after delivery to ensure the delivery went smoothly. Calling each customer gives us valuable feedback and allows us to immediately fix any problems that may have occurred.
We don't sub-contract our local delivery service. Each delivery crew is made up of Grand employees driving Grand-owned delivery trucks. Drivers are carefully screened and trained to provide each customer with an excellent delivery experience. We can also provide installation for every product we sell in most markets.
Although we cover a lot of ground, some installations may be sub-contracted to one of our trusted installation partners. Each sub-contracted installer undergoes a stringent screening process to ensure they meet proper certifications, insurance levels and capability to provide the same commitment to quality and customer service that you expect of us.
Delivery FAQs:
- How do I schedule a delivery? If you did not schedule delivery at the time of sale, call (888) 396-8165 or contact your salesperson to schedule delivery.
- How do I get my delivery window? We will call all deliveries the day before delivery with a 2-3 hour window for delivery. We do not deliver on Sundays, so Monday delivery window calls will be made on Saturday. Delivery window calls will begin each day after 5:00 PM. If you would like to contact us for your delivery time, call (888) 396-8165.
- What should I do to prepare for my delivery? The first thing you should do is verify your order particulars. In particular, re-measure your space to ensure the item fit in the intended location and check connections to ensure you purchased to appropriate fuel type. In the event of snow, be sure you've cleared a path to your door so our drivers can get into the home safely.
- Who should I contact with specific questions about my delivery? Prior to the day of your delivery, your salesperson is your best point of contact for most delivery and installation questions. On the day of your delivery, contact customer service at (888) 396-8165.
- What should I do if my product arrives damaged? You have the right to refuse any product due to damage. Look over each product carefully before signing for the delivery. A signed delivery receipt indicates that all items pertaining to the sale or delivery are received in good condition, free from damage or defect.
- What should I do if my property is damaged during delivery? Although we place a very high value on your personal property, occasionally accidents do happen. Grand will take accountability and fix problems when we've caused damage to your property. To report property damage, indicate the damage on your delivery receipt when signing for the delivery. A customer service agent will be in touch with you within one business day to determine the proper solution.
- Is your labor guaranteed? Most labor performed by Grand is guaranteed for 30 days from the date of installation. Water line connections must be inspected before the installer leaves. Future leaks or property damage caused by future leaks are not the responsibility of Grand Appliance and TV. Labor provided by a Grand-certified or other third-party installer is warranted by the installer. Ask your sales associate for details.
NOTE: The information above pertains to local delivery and installation only. Customers that live within 35 miles of a Grand Appliance and TV location qualify for the services above. Customers outside of that delivery range must contact us in order to determine delivery and installation specifics.
Extended Warranties
Grand is an authorized dealer for every product on its site, which means anything you purchase comes with the full manufacturer's warranty. Although most manufacturers only cover their products for one year, the expected life span for most of the products we sell is 10-12 years. Repairing or replacing your product after the manufacturer's coverage ends can be very expensive. Protect your investment with an extended warranty from Grand Appliance and TV.
Here are some key reasons to purchase an extended warranty.
- Affordable and Flexible Coverage. Most five-year extended warranties cost less than one out of warranty service call. They are available for different lengths of time as well to accommodate your needs.
- Comprehensive Coverage. Grand's extended warranty covers things your manufacturer's warranty does not. For example, our extended warranty protects your product from damages due to electrical surges. In addition, your extended warranty covers up to $200 for lost food due to refrigerator malfunction.
- One-Call Problem Resolution. One call solves it all. Simply call 1.888.446.8008 and a friendly customer service representative will make all the arrangements to have your product serviced by an expert technician in a timely manner.
- Protection If You Move. Are you planning to take your appliance or electronics product with you when you move? No problem. Your extended warranty is portable and moves with you. We have a nationwide network of factory-authorized service technicians.
- No Deductible. There are no up-front or backend repair costs. You pay nothing for covered repairs.
- Protection If You Sell. Are you planning to sell your home and leave your appliance or electronics product in the home? Again, no problem. For a small transfer fee, your extended warranty can be transferred to the new owner for the remainder of the contract.
- No Lemon Policy. Your product will be replaced if it requires more than three out of warranty service calls within a 12 month period.
- Fully Backed and Guaranteed. Your extended warranty is fully insured by an A rated insurance holding company.
- Covers Parts and Labor. If you experience electrical or mechanical failure due to normal wear and tear or defects in workmanship or materials, your extended warranty covers all parts and labor needed to return your product to factory specifications.
- Grand's Half-Back Guarantee. If you purchase a 5-year warranty but do not use your warranty within the length of the contract, we'll give you half of the value back in the form of a credit towards any purchase $399 or more. Restrictions apply, call us for more details.
For more information about our extended warranties, call (888) 396-8165 to speak with a customer service representative.

To speak with a product expert, call 1.888.396.8165 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Common problems that can be avoided result from ordering the wrong size or wrong fuel product. It is important to carefully measure your space before purchasing. Countertops and/or cabinets are not always cut or set completely straight so it`s important to measure in multiple places to ensure accurate measurements.

If a return is necessary, Grand`s customer service representatives are standing by to help facilitate the return. To start the return process, call toll free 1.888.396.8165 x 222 or email email@example.com. Authorized returns will be given an RMA (return merchandise authorization) number. Policies and procedures for obtaining an RMA vary based on the reason for return. See below for more information.
- Defective Products. Most products sold by Grand include a one year, parts and labor warranty. See your product literature or speak with one of our product experts for details. If your product is defective upon arrival, notify customer service of the problem within 48 hours of receiving goods. If you notice the defect after 48 hours of receiving goods, please contact the product`s manufacturer. Contact information for the manufacturer is included in the product literature. NOTE: Most manufacturers require one service call to diagnose the problem.
- Damaged Products. All of our shipments are 100 percent insured. Products damaged during shipping are eligible for exchange at no charge to you. Product will be delivered by one of Grand`s delivery teams for all local deliveries. Call (888) 396-8165 local delivery area. Upon delivery, inspect your product for damage. If the product is damaged, you have the right to refuse the delivery. Grand customer service will contact you to schedule another delivery. Freight delivery policy varies. Call (888) 396-8165 for more information.
- The Product Does Not Meet Your Needs. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return the product within 14 days of receiving it. To begin the return process, you must notify customer service within the 14 day grace period. Products must be returned in brand new condition and packaged in their original box including all packing materials, manuals, blank warranty cards and included accessories (i.e. remotes, cables, hoses, etc). Products must also be free of any cosmetic damage. Products that do not meet these requirements may not be eligible for return or will incur a 25 percent restocking fee. Any product that has been installed or attempted to be installed cannot be returned.
Shipping and handling charges from our warehouse are non-refundable. Customers are responsible for shipping charges incurred when returning a product. Special order merchandise is not eligible for return or exchange unless it is damaged or defective.

The Evansville City Council plans to vote on whether or not to support a downtown hotel next Monday, September 23.
An earlier scheduled vote was delayed to allow the council more time to look over the project, and to have a third party review personal finances related to developer HCW. Mayor Winnecke says this morning he asked Council to delay the vote until Monday, Sept. 30, but was not successful.
"I'm disappointed, but not discouraged," Winnecke said to a room full of media.
Winnecke says he met with City Council President Connie Robinson, Finance Chairman John Friend and Councilman Dr. H. Dan Adams Wednesday morning. He says he expected to hear recommendations to change the scope of the current hotel project and that a new firm had been "engaged to conduct a third party financial evaluation."
Instead, Winnecke says he was surprised to hear the Council had shifted the focus of their concern. He says the council members he met with expressed to them their desire to attract the IU Medical School expansion project. This is something the Mayor says he, too, wholeheartedly supports. He says Council told him they "recognize the need for a hotel, but believe the medical school should take priority."
Winnecke says he believes the city has the financial capability to do both projects. According to the Mayor, the medical school expansion project is still in the early stages; no decision on location or funding from the State has been made.
Mayor Winnecke says that he's not giving up yet, and will make a strong push to get five members of Council to vote "yes" to the hotel project at next Monday's meeting.
When asked what would happen if the project was voted down, Winnecke replied, "I don't know. If the vote is no, the current project as we know it will be dead. What happens after that is, I don't know yet."

The first installment of this year's Coachella festival took place last weekend, and this Friday, Saturday and Sunday brings the second installment, with many of the same acts returning, among them Lorde , Pharrell Williams , Ellie Goulding , Outkast , Aloe Blacc and Bastille . Those last two acts are performing tonight, and they both agree that playing festivals means changing your live show to capture as many new fans as possible.
"Festivals are a really great experience," Aloe tells ABC News Radio, but notes, "It's a challenge for me because there are multiple stages, and what I'd like to do is try to steal as many fans to come to my stage as possible!"
So how does he do that? "I keep my show really high energy," the "Wake Me Up" singer explains. "I try to make sure that the audience is singing and doing a lot of call and response, and I give 'em a chance to dance in the middle as well."
Bastille's drummer, Chris "Woody" Wood , tells ABC News Radio that it's important to have the right set list for your festival performance, with the main rule being "stick to the hits."
"I think it would be a very brave band who would play too many album tracks," he tells ABC News Radio. "I mean, if you play your own headline show, people'll have bought tickets and they probably have the album, and kind of know all your kind of back catalog. But at festivals you are often playing to people who are maybe a bit interested, so you've always got to try to convert them into fans."
On top of that, Woody adds, "We obviously try to give them as kind of energetic a show as possible."
Following Bastille's performance at Coachella, they'll continue their U.S. tour, which runs through June and includes stops at several additional festivals. Aloe, meanwhile, has a few individual shows coming up, but he's also gearing up for his opening slot on the next leg of Bruno Mars ' Moonlight Jungle tour next month.

Flip the calendar back to 2008. Aside from the stimulus package, if there was a single measure that split Georgia Republicans last year it was the vote over the $307 billion farm bill.
The bill was vetoed by President George W. Bush. Congress overrode it. Voting in favor of it were Saxby Chambliss — up for re-election — and Johnny Isakson in the Senate, and Phil Gingrey and Jack Kingston in the House.
Opposing it were U.S. Reps. Tom Price, Lynn Westmoreland, Paul Broun and Nathan Deal.
At the time, the split was described as case of division by ambition. On one side were Republicans who had to run statewide, or had dreams of doing so.
On the other were those those could vote from secure GOP bases.
Within his party, Chambliss was derided for voting for the farm bill, its subsidies and its nutrition-for-the-poor programs. But many of the rank-and-file gave Chambliss a pass because of the bill's general election implications, and because of the votes and money behind the ag vote.
Deal, the north Georgia congressman, hadn't planned on running for governor last year. But he's now the only Republican candidate with a recorded "no" vote on the topic who's running statewide.
"Certainly we'll be explaining to the agriculture community the reasons behind that vote," said Deal spokesman Harris Blackwood.
Spokesman Harris Blackwood points to strong support for Deal among poultry farmers in north Georgia. But poultry isn't as heavily subsidized as the row-crop areas of south Georgia.
And keep in mind that, for the first time in the lifespans of most Georgians, we will have an open race for state agriculture commissioner. Farming will be a significant topic in 2010.
Do Tommy Irvin's votes shift from the Democratic column to the Republican one? And if so, where do they go in the governor's race?
Said Blackwood:
"[Farmers] are going to find in Nathan a governor who is very pro-agriculture. He's probably the only one who grew up on a farm."
Blackwood promised more detail than most of us are likely to want. We're going to learn that Deal's daddy was a vocational agriculture teacher in Sandersville, and that Future Farmers of America award that young Deal won.
One easy prediction: Tractor shots galore.

As a constituent, I noticed Nathan's stance on the Farm Bill last year. Deal has always been a friend to Georgia farmers. After checking my facts, the final version of the bill was bloated with excess spending that would not help a Georgia farmer like me. I commend him for being a man who stands by his convictions, rather than caving in to the liberal leaders in Washington. Until this vote, he had supported previous farm bills including those drafted by Saxby Chambliss. I stand by Deal because he stands by the farmers.

Must assume Mr.Jim didn't like my tirade on the politicos. No problem. 'Nuff said to state deal, isakson, westmoreland, chambliss, price & broun are useless, worthless, liars and represent no one but their own agendas.

the blouted farm bill that was crafted by the democratic majority in congress needed to be voted against,but after we see the spending free fall with the new president and dems in the new congress, the previous farm bill pales in comparison.
nathan deal is the real deal who has proven himself as one of georgia's better politicians.
he is one office holder who knows how to be to bring people together and gets things done.
he is definitely a consensus builder.

Republicans were asleep when the towers were hit on 9/11, they created the war which they lost, drove a good economy into a wall, and continue to deny global warming though science proves them wrong. Why would anyone in their right(or left?) mind support any republican for anything? Republicans are problem makers not solvers, they whine and complain and offer no solutions, and what we need now are people who can clean up their messes. The party of No-Nothings had their chance and blew it big time.

Nathan Deal is one of the finest people I've known in my 66 years. If there were more folks like him there would be less need for labels of any kind. I was privileged to be at Mercer Univ with him for 4 years and have him as a role model…and what an outstending one he was and still is.

Sounds to me (and probably to most of us) JDP , you don't know many 'fine' people. We have plenty like deal right now, they are the crooks in both our state government & in DC. Perhaps you should consider changing your parameters in choosing friends.

That farm bill was full of greasy, rank pork fat. And don't use it to tar the Democrats, both parties were equally involved in loading it up. It was a biparisan election year giveaway. I'm no fan of Westmoreland or Broun, but voting for that bill was the easy way out and the wrong thing to do. Score one for Deal.
July 1st, 2009

Sounds like Michelle needs a nap. Everyone was asleep when 9/11 happened and policies of the previous administrations caused our government to be asleep at the wheel on 9/11. It wasn't Republican or Democrat, but our government all together.
In case you haven't noticed, the war they created (Iraq) is now won and our troops are handing over security to the Iraqi government in stages.
Also, what science proves global warming exists? A UN report that has no scientific basis? Then tell me how over 600 scientists across the globe call global warming a sham and nothing but political hysteria. Michelle you need to get a right mind and go back and take some science classes. When you do you will learn that the Earth goes through warm and cool cycles and has since the beginning of time. Try to learn some real science instead of political hysteria that doesn't exist.
Also ma'am, the Republicans are bad, most of them anyway, but the Democrats are no better. If you believe that they are then I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

The basic problem with the Farm Bill is that only about 8% of the bill actually helps the farmers in America. Most people do not realize that 73% of the 307 billion dollars is for food stamps . . . that's right, FOOD STAMPS . . . an entitilement program that has nothing to do with helping to level the playing field for our farmers to compete in the global economy. If our elected officials in Washington could come up with a true and pure "Farm Bill", one that would help to protect our agricultual community from natural and manmade disasters and one that would help them to compete fairly with other subsidized markets, and one that was not loaded with astronomical spending that has nothing to do with our country's agriculture, then I'm sure that Nathan Deal,Tom Price, Lynn Westmoreland and Paul Broun would have been among the first to totally support it. Lets's get realistic folks, if you are knowledgeable with the way bills are written and loaded with everything imaginable, you would be less critical of folks who stand up for their principles. It's a tragedy that our news media and our "columnists" don't report what is actually in these bills.

What a great look at the small aspects that played roles in landing Reggie White. I remember the day he signed.. I was selling cars in Green Bay and going to UWGB. The city was electric with the signing.
Green Bay - Decades of sound practices on the financial front and one year of savvy leadership in the football operation have delivered Reggie White to the smallest city in the National Football League.
"We shocked the world, didn't we?" agent Jimmy Sexton said.
White, the superstar defensive end of the Philadelphia Eagles, chose to play for the small-town Green Bay Packers rather than 26 big-city franchises.
Shortly after noon Tuesday, negotiator Mike Reinfeldt poked his head into team President Bob Harlan's office and announced the stunning news: The free agent had agreed to terms on a four-year contract worth $17 million.
They walked down the hall to inform general manager Ron Wolf and coach Mike Holmgren of their master stroke.
"Mike [Reinfeldt] had been telling me that Mike [Holmgren] and Ron wanted him in the worst way," Harlan said. "There was no embracing, just quick handshakes and congratulations.
"All I said to Holmgren was: 'This improves your football team, doesn't it?'
"He said: 'It sure does.'"
Sexton sat in his New Orleans hotel room Monday night, unable to use his ticket for the National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball championship game at the Louisiana Superdome. He was placing calls with the Washington Redskins, the San Francisco 49ers, the Packers and White, who was at home in Knoxville, Tenn.
Harlan feared the agent was using the Packers. Several indicators suggested he was correct.
Sexton said Green Bay's offer of $16 million for four years stood until the $1 million increase Monday. It was the best offer of the three teams, but sources indicated the agent fully expected free-spending owner Jack Kent Cooke of Washington to match it, at least.
Cooke, however, recoiled at the idea of offering a 31-year-old defensive lineman more than $13 million over four years. One source said the high-payroll Redskins never made a formal proposal for even $14 million.
"Washington is close to home, but we just could never get onto the same page financially," Sexton said.
Then the 49ers, under new NFL financial limitations, were permitted to offer no more than $19.5 million over five years. Their offer included a $4 million signing bonus, and base salaries of $1.9 million, $3.7 million and $4.3 million.
"I feel the dollars offered by Green Bay were just far too much to overcome," 49ers President Carmen Policy said. "Without guaranteeing the contract, which we wouldn't do, we couldn't come close to matching the deal."
The Packers, with about $30 million in cash reserves, had the money to front-load their offer that basically blew away the opposition, including Cleveland, which was fourth in line. Without the financial restrictions, the Packers feared they would have been outbid by Debartalo. But the 49ers were handicapped.
"It wasn't so much how much money he got, but how it was structured," an official with the Browns said. "Obviously, the Packers could structure their deal."
Sexton said the Browns were the choice of White's wife Sara, who comes from Cleveland.
The Packers poured $6 million, or 35.3% of the total package, into bonus money that White can receive without putting on a uniform. The signing bonus was $4.5 million, and he is set to collect $1.5 million of his $4.5 million base salary this year just by reporting for training camp.
Included in the contract are base salaries of $3.15 million in 1994, $2.85 million in 1995 and $2 million in 1996. White's final contract in Philadelphia, which was fully guaranteed, averaged $1.513 million. His new one averages $4.25 million.
White became the third-highest paid player in league history, trailing only Denver quarterback John Elway ($4.75 million) and Miami quarterback Dan Marino ($4.43 million). The Packers refused to guarantee the base salaries, although the incredible bonus package and $9 million payout in the first year were guarantees in themselves. The contract contained not a single perk or incentive clause, Sexton said.
I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.

Reggie talked a little about the process in his book
Reggie White: In the Trenches.
He thought he would end up in SF almost the whole time.
Not a bad book. A little self serving but I have read worse. I wish the book would have gone through the 96 or 97 season.

Sara was all about the money.

Incredible how John Elway was the highest paid at $4.75 million per year and now, 20 years later, we're looking at guys who make $20 million.

Bears' Hester ruled out for Sunday
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Chicago Bears wide receiver/kick returner Devin Hester has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Seattle Seahawks.
Hester sustained a concussion in the first half of last Sunday's 28-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings and was unable to return to the game.
Running back Matt Forte, who left Sunday's win in the third quarter with an ankle injury, practiced on a limited basis on both Wednesday and Thursday and said he expects to play against the Seahawks.
Cornerback Charles Tillman and linebacker Lance Briggs both missed practice on Wednesday with ankle injuries, but the pair returned to the field on Thursday on a limited basis.
Guard Chris Spencer (knee) also has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Seattle.

Yes, God loves soldiers
On Easter Sunday, Jake Tapper interviewed Rick Warren on ABC's This Week, asking the influential pastor a series of questions on faith and politics. Of particular interest were his comments on soldiers and war (which did not make it into the aired segment but are available here). At the end of the interview, Warren exclaimed, "God hates war, but loves every soldier."
As a combat veteran, I was impressed by and grateful for Warren's statement. The Bible makes clear that war is at best a necessary evil--the idea at the core of the just war tradition. And yes: God loves each and every soldier. But I want to look more closely at the latter thought, especially in light of the suicide epidemic that currently afflicts our nation's veterans and soldiers.
A 2007 CBS study found that 6,256 veterans committed suicide in 2005. That's 17 a day. More recently, the Veterans Administration released data indicating that 94 veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan alone succeeded in taking their lives (out of 1,868 attempts) in fiscal year 2009. Pentagon data suggests that active duty suicides outnumbered total combat fatalities in 2009-10. These numbers are the highest our nation has ever seen.
Perhaps more than any other identifiable demographic in America right now, soldiers need to be reminded that God loves them. But to love is to recognize weakness along with strength, to celebrate virtue and rebuke vice. To do so, we need to dig deeper into the dueling identities many soldiers face.
In the interview, Warren highlighted a wonderful biblical passage about soldiers: the story (in Matthew and Luke) of the Roman centurion who impresses Jesus with his great faith. Jesus makes no mention, however, of the man's duty to Rome--only the centurion himself does. The story emphasizes his humility, not just his service. In Luke, the military commander won't even "presume to" face the indigenous holy man, instead sending friends to ask for healing in his stead. Soldiers today are often just as humble, shrugging off feats of incredible valor by claiming they were just taking care of their own.
But soldiers often also shrug off hidden pain as well. Aware of this, Tapper asked Warren how he counsels veterans when they have "maybe even done horrifying things." Yesterday, today, tomorrow: 17 veterans will kill themselves, an act that takes an overbearing burden of self-condemnation and doubt. How can this be?
I found it poignant that this interview immediately followed Holy Week. The gospels' crucifixion narratives illustrate well the guilt and pain soldiers carry.
After all, it's the soldiers themselves who crucify Jesus: they are doing their duty in carrying out an execution. Carried away in the horror of martial fervor, they abuse and mock their detainee, even gambling for the war trophy of his bloodied garment. In church last Friday, I remembered Operation Baton Rouge in 2004, when I saw members of my own platoon assault handcuffed detainees, vying for cheap intelligence or an easy scapegoat. They may have gone too far, but they were there out of duty.
Through duty-bound soldiers, Christians can recognize our own complicity in the violence that took Jesus' life. The same person who would yell "crucify, crucify, crucify" before the governor will yell "kill, kill, kill" on the bayonet range. That person was me when I wore the uniform of a U.S. soldier. But it also you, whether you served or not. On Good Friday, we are reminded of exactly where we stood in the mob, and where we deserve to stand before God.
But through the cross, the victim has redeemed the villain. Love has overcome evil; the soldiers who crucified Jesus proclaim him good, and he them. And it's the soldiers' example we follow in proclaiming that "surely this man was the Son of God."
God loves every soldier, but not blindly. God has seen not just the good they've done, but each and every torment they've inflicted as well, each and every time they've overstepped their authority. Holy Week reminds us that soldiers are in need of confession, of being seen wholly and reminded that they're capable of being holy. Time prevented Warren from elaborating on his statement, but I think he would agree that sharing God's love with soldiers includes listening to their stories, feeling their pain and wrestling with them toward redemption.

Product Review: Hampton Creek Foods vegan chipotle mayo and vegan cookie dough! »
Hampton Creek Foods is the latest, Bill Gates-backed egg replacer taking over the nation! I think they are coming out with a fake egg at some point? But for now they have used their egg replacer to make vegan mayo AND vegan cookie dough! They sent me some gratis samples to try.
Let's just pretend for two seconds that I didn't immediately eat the cookie dough and had my dinner first. So I hear this is weird, but I grew up eating veggies with mayo. I thought that'd be a good way to test these out. Enter: broccoli! I steamed some broccoli and tried the Chipotle Mayo and the Just Mayo on it. I was scared of the Chipotle Mayo because I'm scared of spicy stuff but I totes liked it! It's not that spicy, it's more smokey. Sometimes I find smokey stuff gross and meaty but this wasn't like that. Just good.
I liked the plain mayo too. It had a hint of lemon or something and was less sweet than I usually think mayo is but it's very good. And it wasn't super heavy like some vegan mayos and there was no weird aftertaste I sometimes find. I give it all my thumbs up! I can't wait to try it on my next vegan hoagie.
But more importantly: chocolate chip cookie dough time! Of course none of the dough made it to the oven (hey, it was just a sample!), I ate it raw. Which is the beauty of vegan cookie dough, am I right? It was totally delicious! Not better than Eat Pastry but I'd say on par.
In conclusion: why do we ever eat food that's not cookie dough?

Mission controllers for NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander decided Saturday afternoon, May 24, to forgo the second-to-last opportunity for adjusting the spacecraft's flight path.
Phoenix is so well on course for its Sunday-evening landing on an arctic Martian plain that the team decided it was not necessary to do a trajectory correction 21 hours before landing.
However, the team left open the option of a correction maneuver eight hours before landing, if warranted by updated navigational information expected in the intervening hours.
Sunday at 4:53 p.m. Pacific Time is the first possible time for confirmation that Phoenix has landed. The landing would have happened 15 minutes earlier on Mars, but the radio signals take 15 minutes to travel from Mars to Earth at the distance separating the two planets today.
The following was posted Saturday, May 24 at 1 p.m.PDT.
Highlights from Phoenix News Briefing at JPL -- Sat., May 24, Noon PDT
- A decision will be made this afternoon, Sat., May 24, about whether to perform one more trajectory correction maneuver later tonight.
- A dust cloud that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been tracking is moving across the landing area today. It is not expected to pose any hazard to the landing.
- As of noon PDT today, Phoenix had 1.28 million miles left to travel out of its 422-million-mile flight from Earth to Mars.
You can also follow landing events on the Phoenix landing blog at www.nasa.gov/phoenixblog .

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A federal lawsuit seeking damages against a Wyoming-based wilderness training academy over the death of a hiker on a 2011 trip to India will be heard in Wyoming.
The lawsuit filed by Elizabeth Brenner of Minnetonka, Minnesota, against the Lander-based National Outdoor Leadership School was transferred to U.S. District court in Cheyenne last week.
Brenner accuses the school of negligence in the September 2011 death of her son, Thomas Plotkin. The 20-year-old man died during a backpacking trip in India that was led by the school.
Bruce Palmer is spokesman for the school. He says the school discloses the risks of its programs to students in advance.
Lawyers for Brenner had fought to keep the lawsuit in federal court in Minnesota. Attempts to reach them for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful.

MACON – She's not a scorer by nature, and she only had 4 points when she got the ball with 12 seconds left, down by 2 points, 80 feet from the basket.
But somebody had to score. And it might as well be the junior.
Jade Davis drove the length of the court to tie the game with 7.8 seconds left. Then, No. 2 St. Francis hit eight straight free throws in overtime to beat No. 1 Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy 62-56 for the Class A Private championship.
It's the first basketball state title in school history for St. Francis (24-8), who also upset SACA (28-4) in the Region 6 final last month.
When Amber Brown's free throw went off the mark with 14 seconds left, Davis knew the Knights had a chance when the ball fell into her hands.
Described as a "defensive specialist" by coach Alisha Kennedy, she wasn't the most likely candidate to drive all the way for a crucial basket, but she was ready when the opportunity came her way.
"I don't normally look to score," Davis said. "But something kicked in, and I said, 'I have to go. I have to go.'"
She did that, dribbling into the lane, taking on two defenders and getting fouled in the process of rattling the tying basket home.
She missed the free throw that could have ended it, but the most important part was behind her – the Knights still had 4 more minutes to win a title.
SACA scored the first overtime basket, but the Warriors wouldn't score again until the game was decided. Candice Williams answered that first SACA basket with a layup, and then St. Francis went on a free-throw binge that put the game away.
The Knights struggled at the line late in regulation, missing four out of five after a 17-4 run allowed them to erase a 9-point third-quarter deficit, but they were able to make them in the extra period.
"We talked about it," Kennedy said. "Step away from the line. Take your time. Don't come up to the free-throw line and just wait for the ref to give you the ball. A lot of them have never been here before. They settled down, and they knocked them down when they counted."
Antoinette Brown led St. Francis with 22 points and 9 rebounds. SACA's Alexis Carter had a game-high 25 points and 10 rebounds. SACA outrebounded St. Francis 41-27. The Knights attempted 22 more and made 16 more free throws than did the Warriors.

I am so proud of that St. Francis girls basketball team, I have watched them play for about four years, when Diamond henderson was there and I have watched Coach Kennedy make this team better and better evry year…so proud of her, she deserves this. My girl Jade, she is so quiet but and shy, but when she gets on that court, she is a different girl, pride doesn't explain what I feel.

Congrats to St. Francis on your big win. Coach G (married name, Kennedy?) is wonderful!

OCEAN CITY, Md -In response to the plane crash earlier, local businesses in Ocean City are offering their support to the Police Department.
Kathy Jacobs, director of community relations for Brandywine Senior Living at Fenwick Island, made calls to many different local businesses asking for support to OCPD.
"When it first happened, my heart went out to them. I didn't know the officers who died. I know friends of friends who have been touched by it but not directly. In family, when someone passes, that's what you do. The family and friends are in churches, rallies and I decided to take that concept and bring it to the police department,"
Jacobs also says that she could not have done what she's doing without the support of the community.
"I have received phone calls from restaurants as well as local business owners. I had a hotel say 'look, I don't make food her but can I order food from a restaurant and have it delivered?' and I said absolutely!"
As for the Ocean City Police Department, they say they are fortunate to have such a caring community.
"I've been here for 25 years and every time there's a major event or crisis, this community just jumps right into support, whatever operations that are going on. It's been amazing for us, the kind of reception we're getting from our community in regard of the support. Thank you very much, everybody that is helping," says public affairs officer Mike Levy.
Some of the local businesses that gave out support to the OCPD included Seacrets, Mug & Mallet, General's Kitchen, The Original Greene Turtle, Atlantic Bed & Breakfast, Lombardi's Pizza, Billy's Sub Shop, Ponzetti's, Sea Hawk Hotel, JR's Ribs and Desserts by Rita.
To reach Kathy Jacobs in order to give support to the OCPD, the number is 302-436-0808

text: What I really love is the non-apology that FHM and Bela gave. Bela Padilla acted as if she had NO idea what was going on. Of course she made the typical "But we have Indigenous Black Filipinos. How can we be racist?". Hmmm, maybe because black Filippina women don't make the cover of your magazines, and are dissed on a daily basis? Maybe that's a start. The racism is so ingrained that no one out of their 200+ staff saw anything wrong with this? Being fair is all the rage, and darker skinned people are penalized in all aspects of life in the Philippines. The racism is so ingrained that they still just don't get it. There is NO beauty in that cover FHM. NONE! Dark people aren't shadows or something to graduate from being, nor is fairness something to be attained with "coming of age". Le sigh. Idiots I tell ya.

This is a wonderful alternative to heavy cardstocks,a truly a diverse selection of patterns and themes. I found it to be a creative inspiration for a number of projects. I'd buy this again in a heartbeat!
Just received this for my Garden Club Scrapbook I'm putting together and love the different pages with all the flowers. Will look great. The price was also incredible for 150 pages.
Lots of different picture design to chose from. If you like flower design this would be the great book to get.
This was a great purchase and can be very versatile for cards or scrapbooking.
Always on the look out for quality paper. This has a nice hand, as well as enough variety to keep the senses stimulated, and the price for the quantity is also rather exceptional. I'd take a look, and it makes me curious enough about other paper packs by the designer.

This is a really nice thermometer. When I first placed an order, I received the product after 4 days. The product didn't work, so I immediately gave a call to Flipkart. They reverted to me after a day and promised to replace the product. After 3 days, I received the replacement product also (that works in the intended way). So, from Service point of view, I don't have any complaints so far.
Regarding the product, it is a really nice, quick reading thermometer. Within 10-15 seconds, it gives a reading. This is really helpful when you are using it on very young children who cannot hold it in... (Expand)
I was searching for the thermometer for my KID and was confused with lot of options but finally I decided to go with the brand name and I am happy for my decision.
It give nice beep sound after taking the reading.
Its shape is nice slim and ergonomical.
Since it is water proof can wash the surface once done.
Overall buy this if you have a kid.The price is bit costly as you may not require to use it frequently.
5 Stars for Flipkart service.4 star for product.

Totally satisfied with the product and its simple to use functionality. I would surely recommend any one who wished to buy this product.

Took some time to review this product as i wanted to give a proper test before feedback. So far it's working fine and definitely worth a buy. (View complete review)

State Police Recruits Report For Training
Date of News Release: 05/22/2011
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Seventy-nine men and two women reported to the Kentucky State Police Academy in Frankfort today to begin a rigorous, 23-week training program that tests mind, body and spirit. It will be a challenge for each one and some will drop out along the way. Those who complete the course will earn the right to wear the distinctive gray uniform and campaign hat of a Kentucky State Trooper.
Physical testing started almost immediately with bench press requirements, sit ups, pushups, a 300 meter run and a one-and-a-half mile run.
"We focus on individual physical conditioning, sound judgment and strong mental abilities during training," says Capt. Phil Crumpton, commander of the KSP Academy. "These are fundamentals that might someday result in life-saving benefits."
The cadets will have to prove themselves on a daily basis, he explains. "They must repeatedly demonstrate the ability to perform under stressful conditions and successfully overcome adversity."
During their training, the cadets will have to complete more than 1,000 hours of classroom and field study that includes subjects such as constitutional law, juvenile and traffic law, use of force, weapons training, defensive tactics, first aid, high speed vehicle pursuit, criminal investigation, computer literacy, hostage negotiations, evidence collection, radio procedures, search and seizure, crash investigation, drug identification, traffic control, crowd control, armed robbery response, land navigation, electronic crimes, sex crimes, hate crimes, domestic violence, bomb threats and hazardous materials.
The dropout rate is high, says Crumpton. "Historically, 20 percent of the cadets do not complete the program."
"Despite this situation, we cannot compromise our training standards," notes KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "Law enforcement is a tough job in these times and it gets tougher every day. Our training reflects that reality."
Among the recruits, 18 have prior law enforcement experience and 13 have military experience. Twenty-seven have bachelors degrees and 10 have associate degrees.
Geographically, the cadets represent 52 communities throughout Kentucky. Eight are from Richmond, six are from Berea, five are from Louisville and four are from Lexington. Three are from Columbia. Independence, Lancaster, Leitchfield, London, Murray, Partridge and Shelbyville are each represented by two cadets.
The following Kentucky communities are each represented by one cadet: Barbourville, Beattyville, Bowling Green, Burkesville, Busy, Cold Spring, Corbin, Cumberland, Drakesboro, Edgewood, Elizabethtown, Florence, Flemingsburg, Frankfort, Georgetown, Greensburg, Greenville, Hazard, Hopkinsville, Horse Cave, Houstonville, Hudson, Lagrange, Lawrenceburg, Lebanon, Liberty, Livingston, Manchester, Mayfield, Morehead, Morganfield, Moselle, Owensboro, Pikeville, Pineville, Russellville, Stanford, Symsonia, Versailles and Whitesburg. Two of the cadets are from Cincinnati, Ohio.
The cadets are tentatively scheduled to graduate on Oct. 30, 2011.
The progress of Cadet Class 89 can be followed throughout the training cycle by logging on to the Kentucky State Police website at www.kentuckystatepolice.org. Photos will be posted periodically showing various training activities.
KSP is currently recruiting for a new cadet class that is tentatively scheduled to begin in May of 2012. Application materials and details on testing location and dates will be posted to the KSP website in early June. Visit www.kentuckystatepolice.org and click on Career Opportunities, Recruitment Home for more information, including an 18 minute video, or to download an application. Anyone interested in obtaining more information after visiting the website can call 1-866-360-3165 from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (ET), Monday through Friday, or leave a message any other time.
Applicants must be 21 years of age, a U.S. citizen, in good health and possess a valid drivers license with no more than six driver demerit points. Applicants must also possess a minimum of 60 semester hours or an associates degree from an accredited college or university or be a high school graduate with at least two years of either active military duty or experience as a full-time, sworn law enforcement officer.

Rivera RockCrusher Power AttenuatorThe RockCrusher is invaluable and unbeatably versatile because you can place it between your amp and speaker cab as a power attenuator, or use it in place of your speaker cabinet as a load box while sending its balanced XLR or unbalanced 1/4" line out to another amp as a slave, or even send its output to a mixer for recording or live performance!Taking a preamp output or turning down your volume doesn't give you all of your amp's tone, because getting your favorite tube amp to perform and sound like it does when it is turned up means that you need the power-amp section to add that rich overdrive character. Unfortunately, there are not enough venues that allow for high levels that come from an amp running at full tone and power through speakers.Rivera designed and built the RockCrusher to maintain your tone. Built into the RockCrusher is a reactive load network for proper speaker-amplifier interaction. Rather than a purely resistive load like many other power attenuators, the Rock Crusher ensures that the amplifier and speaker see each other in a proper relationship of impedance and inductive/capacitive reactance. This translates to a superior tone, regardless of level. To enhance tonal balance, warmth, and shimmer, there are Edge and Warm switches that put you in total control of the final output.In addition to providing superior tone, impedance matching is critical for your tube amp's health and longevity. Rivera gave the RockCrusher an 8/16-ohm selector switch so you can use either value to accurately match your cabinets and amplifiers.Additional features that ensure the Rock Crusher is easy to use both onstage and in the studio include a front-panel bypass switch that lets you use the amp with a speaker cabinet when full output level is desired.When low speaker volume is desired, there is a Studio position of the Attenuator Level Selector that enables the Studio Level control to adjust from low to quiet output—perfect for home, project, and studio recording.Balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4" phone jacks with a convenient front-panel level control allow interfacing with practically any audio equipment. Two speaker jacks allow easy connection with up to two speaker enclosures.Bullet-proof construction, a standard feature of Rivera equipment, is also engineered into the RockCrusher: Within the 16-gauge welded steel chassis of the RockCrusher are heavy-duty and rugged industrial-grade components designed to give you years of reliable, cool-running service. In addition, both sides of the RockCrusher chassis facilitate mounting rack ears or other brackets for professional road case installation.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Jenkins, Nexus and LiveRebel in Continuous Delivery harmony
Building Your Own Continuous Delivery Pipeline - ZeroTurnaround CEO Jevgeni Kabanov
When you send a package through FedEx it goes through a tracked, automated process that makes sure that the package arrives promptly at the destination. The same should apply to every commit that you check into the trunk. Continuous delivery describes how this process can be made fully automated and transparent and we will show you how your commits can be "fedexed" to production on application servers like JBoss, Tomcat, Weblogic and others with the help from Jenkins and LiveRebel. The main idea of continuous delivery is the deployment pipeline. Every commit that enters the pipeline should go through automated integration and testing and if successful, produce a release candidate. We will show how Jenkins can be used to orchestrate the process all the way to the staging environment. Once we're there, the most complicated phase begins. The release candidate needs to be deployed to production, without disrupting the users or introducing risks. LiveRebel makes production updates quick, automated, non-disruptive and reversible. It finishes the job and delivers the updated version right into the users hands. In this talk by ZeroTurnaround CEO and founder Jevgeni Kabanov at JAXconf 2012, we will build a full clustered environment and a deployment pipeline so that commits into the trunk would update a live chat server while you keep on chatting.

Third-ranked Michigan managed to squeeze out an overtime win last night at home over number-10 Ohio State 76-to-74, allowing the Wolverines to avenge their loss to the Buckeyes last month in Columbus.
Michigan had 14 three-pointers in the game with six from Tim Hardaway, Junior, who hit 5 straight triples and also blocked a shot right under the basket in the final seconds of the extra period to preserve the victory.
After the game, Michigan Coach John Beilein praised his team's play, especially that of Hardaway, junior
Hardaway finished with 23 points while Trey Burke had 16 points and eight assists as the Wolverines improved to 21-and-2 overall and 8-and-2 in the Big Ten and tied for second in the conference with Michigan State behind top-ranked Indiana, which is 9-and-1.
The Wolverines play Saturday at Wisconsin and then next Tuesday at Michigan State. Tonight, number-12 Michigan State hosts Minnesota while in the Mid-American Conference Western Michigan has a home game against Kent State.
Back to last night, there was an upset in the top five as second-ranked Florida lost 80-to-69 at Arkansas.

The Manitowoc County Coroner's Office has released the identity of the person killed in a southside Manitowoc house fire last night. Coroner Curtis Green said an autopsy performed this morning confirmed the victim as 90 year old Arnold Goeke of 1711 Phillipen Street. Goeke died from carbon monoxide and smoke inhalation after his house caught fire last night.
He was the only person in the home when firefighters responded around 8 o'clock Tuesday night. They were told there was heavy smoke, visible flames, and a possible victim inside. Officials said Goeke was removed and taken to a hospital, where resuscitation efforts failed.
Fire Battalion Chief Tim Herzog said the blaze was brought under control about an hour after units were called, and one crew stayed overnight. Five other fire and rescue departments responded. The Salvation Army provided hot beverages for firefighters working in sub-zero temperatures. A city bus was used as a warming shelter. The state Fire Marshal is helping Manitowoc authorities investigate the cause of the blaze.

The Glenbrook Apaches dropped to 1-2 with their 43-8 loss to Wilkinson County Christian Academy in Woodville, Mississippi.
The Apaches fell behind early, as the Rams scored 23 straight points in the first quarter, which set the tone for the game.
"We just put ourselves behind the eight-ball early," Glenbrook head coach Greg Tibbitt said. "We turned the ball over five or six times in the first half and three or four of them led to touchdowns."

Grovetown, GA (WJBF) -- Warriors coach Rodney Holder says he wants his team to improve on a 3-7 season in 2012. To do that, they'll have to find a way to replace electrifying senior quarterback and return man (and FFN Carolina Panthers ALLCSRA team member) Juwan Biggers. Biggers finished the season with over 1,500 yards of total offense. There is reason for hope since the Warriors were decent in region play last year going 3-4 in their first year in Region 2-AAAAA.
This is year 5 under Coach Holder. He says he's seen more underclassmen coming out for football each year. He thinks it's only a matter of time before the Warriors are annual contenders for the region title.

:: To celebrate the release of ELLT 002, we asked the mysterious Magic Nanna, to sit down with us for a little chat on Texas, the world wide web, and his musical beginnings. ::
::Kj: Why have you chosen to release with ELLT?
::Josh: I really liked what the mission statement of the label is, and it is something that I identify with. I like the communal attitude, care and attention the label puts into each of its releases.
::Josh: This album is my baby. It is the first "concept" album I have created, and in my opinion, is my seminal piece.
I wanted to create something that forces the mind into a state of reflection and contemplation.
::Josh: I try not to let my environment influence my work too much, but I find that I am more productive in some locations rather than others. Growing up in the desert in West Texas is rather discouraging for a musician, being so far removed from everything.
::Josh: Many people have asked me what my favorite color is, to which I can only respond that it is combinations of colors, rather than one singularly, that I find moving. Music, for me, is digested in a very similar fashion.
There are combinations of chords, textures, and rhythms that I find aesthetically pleasing, so naturally I gravitate to people who cater to those elements in their composition. I have very broad taste as a result of this. Of course I am madly in love with Flying Lotus, Tokimonsta, Mr.Dibia$e and the other experimental musicians on brainfeeder, as obviously evidenced in my work, but I actually spend more time listening to classical music from the impressionist period and Jazz than I do beats.
I grew up as a classical musician, and it is embedded in my understanding and interpretation of musical ideas, but have played in every type of project from Death Metal to Country. Composers like Debussy, Satie, Ravel, and Bach really show up in my tunes if you know what to listen for…
In fact that is really what I do, take my interpretations of classical concepts, distill them electronically, and reinterpret them for a more contemporary audience.
I love any artist that challenges convention, destroys genre, and evades description.
:: Thanks for reading, and be sure to get a copy of ELLT 002- Brainilingus this Wednesday March 6th, 2013 on http://emlalaterra.bandcamp.com/
Much thanks to Josh, for answering all our questions, and his patience with this release. ::
