Joseph Kellerman was sixteen years old when his mother died. But he didn't care. Joseph had been saving for three summers to put a down payment on a hot Camaro that the local auto repair guy had been lovingly restoring. The car meant everything to him. His family, not so much.
His mom was diagnosed with cancer in May. Her illness was brief, and as Joseph looks back upon it now, mercifully short. "After my mom died, I sort of drifted off into this land of my own. My car, the open road and enough money for gas were all I needed." What Joseph didn't realize was that he was running away from his grief.
At 17, Joseph hit the road. He quit high school, packed his stuff and tossed a flippant "bye" to his father. His father barely reacted, so consumed in his own grief that he was. His wife, Joseph's mother, had been gone for almost 9 months but his father remained stuck in a shell-shocked mode. Joseph took the keys, the few dollars he'd managed to save up, his bank card, and shut the door quietly, for the house was still a monument to his mother - nothing had been touched since she died, not even her make-up and shampoo in the bathroom, or her natty white robe that hung sadly on the solitary nail in the door.
Glancing back at the small white house that had not so long ago been filled with laughter and plans for the future, Joseph blinked back tears and convinced himself that the tears were casued by feasting his eyes upon pure beauty - his car. His escape. His plan.
He pulled away from the curb and almost resisted one last look at the house, trying to freeze the memory in his mind. His mom's begonias, the tilted board under the doorbell that announced visitors before they could press the little yellow button, the windchime that one of his parent's friends had brought back from China "for good luck."
Good luck, he thought angrily. Good luck doesn't take someone's mom away when they were just a kid. But Joseph wasn't a kid any more; he was a grown man, about to go make his new life.
A movement caught his eye, and he watched in the rearview mirror his father step hesitantly onto the porch. Joseph thought about speeding up, but something made him stop. His father was carrying something. Joseph waited.
"Son, can you do something for me? I don't know where you're going. I haven't been the best father since... well, since your mom left us. But," he paused, pushing down the tears. This was important and he didn't want to cry. "See, your mom, well, she always wanted tobe buried at sea."
Joseph looked at what his father was holding and realized it was the urn that contained his mother's remains. His dad held it like an awkward father holding a newborn, unsure what to do lest it break.
He leaned into his son's car, and put it in the front seat. Tucking it inside the seat belt, Joseph watched this loving gesture. He hadn't been planning on going to the ocean, but why not? His father stood there, pale and broken. "Will you do that for her, Joseph?" His hand remained tenderly on the container.
Joseph stuck out his hand. "You have my word, Dad."
His father reluctantly removed his hand from the urn and gripped his son's hand. "You do that. You do that for her, you hear me?"
Joseph nodded because the lump in his throat made it impossible to speak.
His father pulled away first, moving back up onto the curb. He raised his hand in a goodbye salute and Joseph drove down the street, the small, broken man finally reduced to nothing but a speck.
He drove for hours, stopping only for gas. Eating candybars and chips, he refused to look at the passenger seat. "I don't know, it was weird, having that thing here. It didn't feel like my MOM, but it felt like she was there, watching me."
The windows were open all the way, and the sun was shining. Despite his grief, and barreling down the highway with his mother's remains strapped to the seat beside him, Joseph felt good. Unencumbered. Free. Free! He could go anywhere, do anything, meet anyone. He just had to fulfill his obligation to his mother as per her wishes and then there were no ties that bound him.
At a gas station he plotted his route to Florida. Joseph's mother had never been there, but had talked about a few times, so it seemed as fitting place as any.
He drove and drove, listening to whatever music crossed the stations, and only turning off the gospel stations. For a while he drove in complete silence - only the wind, the sound of the tires slapping pavement, and his silent mother keeping him company.
"I started to talk to her. I know it sounds weird, but I really felt she was there. Not IN the urn, but there with me. Taking my trip with me." Joseph talked to her about all the things he had never found time to when it mattered most. He told her about his dreams, dropping out of school, and most importantly, how much he missed her, and how angry he was at the world for taking her away.
"It was the first time I actually admitted to myself that I was mad. And then I got madder and madder."
"Despite his grief, and barreling down the highway with his mother's remains strapped to the seat beside him, Joseph felt good. Unencumbered. Free. Free!"
Joseph's grief stage had finally moved to anger. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He started to drive fast and recklessly, not seeming to care if he lived or died on that long highway. The urn sat there quietly, not judging him.
He was pulled over by a friendly Ohio cop who had the bad luck to ask him, "Did somebody die? Cuz' if somebody didn't die, son, you're going to be coming with me to the station. Do you know how fast you were going?"
Joseph stared straight ahead. "No, sir."
"Well, son, you were going 117 miles per hour back there. I got the radar gun to prove it. Now what in this green earth could be causing a young boy like yourself be driving like such a maniac?"
Joseph considered using the "my mother died" card to get out of trouble, but instead he said nothing. The police man cut him a break and gave him a ticket instead, admonishing him to drive safe and not kill himself on the roads.
Pulling away from the flashing lights, he looked at the urn, still sitting there silently. "Not kill myself. Man, I'm not going to kill myself. I got things to DO!" he gave the urn a thumbs up and pointed the car south.
The drive the rest of the way was uneventful, even for a boy of 17 in a fast car traveling across state lines with some dead ashes. When he got to Florida, he found a cheap hotel room and rented it for a week. Then he called his father to let him know that he'd arrived safely, and was going to fulfill his promise. His father sounded very far away on the phone. Joseph chalked it up to the distance of the phone line and said he'd call his father when he was done. He told him about the trip and how the roads were from state to state, how things looked. But he could tell his father wasn't interested and Joseph could almost hear him nodding absent-mindedly into the phone out of politeness. Joseph sighed and told his dad he'd call him when it was done.
He carried the urn into the room and gave it a small pat before turning in for the night. The next morning he found a place that could charter him a trip out far enough to dump the ashes. He booked a slot for the following morning. Joseph thought about going to the beach and checking out the girls in their bikinis, but the solemnity of the situation made it feel not right. So, he figured, why not take dear old Mom out to the beach so that she could enjoy it with him before being put to rest at sea?
He rented a bike with a basket and strapping the urn in, he made his way down the sandy path. Finding a good spot wasn't easy for the beach was crowded. He made his way with his odd beach prop and found a spot for himself sitting on a dock watching the sun bounce off the water. There were kids playing and families enjoying the weather. And lots of girls for him to watch.
He was so intently eyeballing a young group of females that he failed to notice the kids behind him throwing the frisbee had gotten dangerously close. A few minutes later, one of them leaped for the toss and landed smack dab on top of the urn, knocking it over. The silt-like gritty substance began spilling out between the planks. Joseph jumped up, scrambling to contain the spillage and cursing his head off at the boys, who cowered to the side.
Soon a small crowd had gathered around to see the skirmish. Joseph was a raving lunatic by now, screaming that this was his mother who's only wish was to be buried at sea and now they've gone and knocked her into the water! He called them every curse word in the book and some he made up in his rage.
People clucked their tongues but they didn't leave. In fact they formed a protective barrier around Joseph and the boys, watching. Finally Joseph calmed down and sat down hard next to the urn. It had a big hole in one side, so he laid it with the hole facing up so that no more remains would spill out. And he wept.
One of the little boys hesitantly crept up beside him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Mister. This is the sea. All the water is part of the sea. You said your mom wanted to be buried at sea. We can bury her here." He put his tiny fingers into the urn and scooped up some of the gravely substance. He looked at Joseph for admonishment, but Joseph just watched him, as did everyone else. The little boy went to the end of the pier, and held it up facing the sun, then gently let the dust and stones fall into the water. Plop plop. The crowd was quiet. Then a little girl came up and took a tiny scoop and walked to the end of the pier and let hers drop. Plop plop. The finer dust settled on top the water, carried back out towards the sun. Several others stepped up to take scoops and drop them into the ocean. Some stopped and said a prayer, others wished Joseph's mother good luck on her journey, others were silent in respect.
One by one they came and helped spread his mother ashes. The first little boy then handed the broken urn to Joseph, urging him to spill the rest. Joseph stood at the end of the peer, its long shadow reflecting against the crashing water, and smiling at the sun, he tipped the urn so that the rest of his mother's remains drifted in the cooling air and floated on the water, plop plop, until they could no longer be seen. The crowd drifted away, leaving only Joseph standing on the end of the pier with his broken urn, saying goodbye to his mother.

I must admit, I was skimming this at first because I was tired but it is so well written that I really had to read this ...twiceYou are one incredible writer, Ms Kris.Emily
She is! She did an excellent job. I'm glad you liked it. It still kind of freaks me out every time I think about it (like giving me goosebumps!) but I think it was a cool tribute - my mom would have liked it. And she would have liked this story. Thanks again. Joseph
Your father I'm sure was very proud of you. You helped ease him through his grief too, and I hope your relationship with him was repaired after all of it. Your mother IS still with you - always, in spirit and love and your memories.
Thanks. I'm enjoying your stories too, especially the pie one. Now I'm hungry!

My first fret job was with one of those with removable burr fret files. My second through current fret jobs were with a diamond file. I can't go back to a toothed file anymore. Diamond files are faster and easier to clean up after. I would suggest the 300-grit. It cuts fast enough as is and leaves a fairly smooth surface (as far as crowning files are concerned). Sure it's a little pricey, but it makes crowning a piece of cake.
The best way I know of to crown frets expeditiously and consistently uniform. A breeze to remove the scratches by using progressively finer grits of sandpaper. To sand the sides I wrap the sandpaper around my least favorite credit card. Lasts for years in professional use. WISH they still had the smaller size as well!
This file makes very hard recrownings a simple task. Combined with the regular file (to remove the scrtaches) is the recrowning perfect tool.
This file recrowns frets superbly! Not only that, the safe ground edges are narrow enough to round and blend bevelled fret ends. Tilt the file slightly off centre to get right into the corners of the fret ends.
I like to recrown frets with the old-school 3 corner file but this is just as good and will be faster once you get the feel for it...
great tool!! simple and fast work, I love it!!!
I picked up the 300 grit file, It works fantastic. Cuts quick and smooth and I appreciate the added length of this file in addition to the more than satisfactory build quality. Great job Stew Mac, I don't think I will re crown with any other tool ever again! If you are on the fence about this one, make the move and you wont be sorry.
Bought the 300 grit file, works great. The only problem I see with it is that the filings get trapped in the file to often. Have to stop and brush them off every now and then. But overall great product.
I used the standard file for years, and when I started using SS frets, I upgraded to the 300 grit diamond file. This file is above and beyone the standard file. I couldn't believe how much easier fret leveling and crowning became when I started using this tool. Highly recommended!
The first time I leveled my frets I recoiled in horror at the flattened mess I made and I knew re-dressing them with a 3 edge file was going to take hours. I bought this tool last year and dressing is a snap. Even when I have to be aggressive with metal removing to get level frets, this tool quickly restores a perfect shape. i wish it were a bit longer and I wish the 2 radii were marked on the tool for fast reference...but other than those petty complaints, this is a must have tool.

After the two-sport athlete was picked last weekend in the 15th round of the Major League Baseball draft, he signed with the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, ending his football and baseball careers at Jacksonville State.
"I couldn't ever bring back the memories I had during my three years of college, and if I could ever do it again I would," Blanchard said. "I'm just thankful and blessed to be in this position right now. I couldn't have done it without my family and the people at Jacksonville State. We're just happy to be here and move forward.
"If the Rays didn't agree to the terms that we were saying, then I was going to go back to football and finish out my senior year how I did everything else."
Blanchard's next move comes Monday when he moves to Princeton, W.Va., and joins Tampa Bay's Rookie League team, the Princeton Rays. Blanchard's first minor league season begins Thursday.
"I'm about to start hopefully a long career. This is where everyone starts, and everyone is at the same level," said Blanchard, who added he thinks the Rays want him to play second base.
However, the Rays' scout for the area, Milton Hill, said Blanchard may be moved, depending on what the team needs. Hill said the last second baseman he signed was David Dietrich out of Georgia Tech, who made his major league debut last month with the Miami Marlins.
"What we need from Coty is to go out and concentrate fully on baseball and see how good he can be," Hill said. "I think he's a major league player. Otherwise I wouldn't have written the reports and drove all the way here to sign him."
This isn't Blanchard's first time being drafted. The Baltimore Orioles drafted him in the 41st round in 2010. Instead of signing, the 2009 Mr. Football winner went to Jacksonville State to play football and baseball.
"It's a long process when you go all the way back to when I first saw him play as a high school player. It's a maturity process that you see them go through," Hill said. "When I saw him as a high school player I thought he needed to get stronger because he'd be playing every day."
While Blanchard knew he needed to continue to develop physically and mentally, there was one man who played a huge role in him choosing Jacksonville State, and that man was sitting beside him at the table as Blanchard signed his contract Saturday — former JSU football coach Jack Crowe, who recruited Blanchard out of high school.
Coty's father, Fran Blanchard, gave thanks to Crowe and JSU baseball coach Jim Case.
"We were able to double up on the great coaches," he said. "You could almost rest your case on that.
"I think it all went back to when Coty was a sophomore in high school and Coach Crowe offered him, and I asked Coach Crowe if he'd be here until the end, and he was."
Along with Crowe, Cherokee County football coach Tripp Curry, Cherokee County baseball coach Jim Garmany, Munford football coach and former Warriors offensive coordinator Will Wagnon and Piedmont baseball coach James Blanchard were also present.
And with everyone who helped Blanchard get to this point, he became a professional.
"To be 21 and now to be about to leave Monday, I think he did his job. It's been fun, though," Fran Blanchard said. "If you look in my office it's like, 'Wow, did you really do all of this?'"

Also in this section…?
Reproduced with the kind permission of the Liverpool 8 Law Centre
The International Slavery Museum presents Toxteth 1981, a series of images of the civil disturbances referred to as the 'Toxteth riots' or 'uprising'.
Toxteth is an inner-city neighbourhood of Liverpool, also known as Liverpool 8. Social and economic factors such as poor housing, high unemployment and a general mistrust of the Merseyside Police preceded the troubles. The police were frequently accused of discriminatory and racist attitudes towards the Black community, such as the misuse of the 'sus' laws (which allowed police to stop and search anyone deemed suspicious).
The resultant disturbances of July 1981, primarily involving Black and white youths against the police, placed national attention on Toxteth and its community members.
The Scarman Report (1981) acknowledged the "racial disadvantage that is a fact of British life" and concluded that "complex political, social and economic factors" created a "disposition towards violent protest".
The spark which lit the fuse was the stopping, searching and arrest of a young Black male on suspicion of taking a motorbike without consent (it was later established that he had permission). On being put in a police van a group of youths came to his assistance and released him.
Several days of disturbances ensued, including street battles, police baton charges, looting and the first use of CS gas by the police for crowd control on the British mainland. A tense atmosphere followed in the prevailing months which saw further conflicts between local youths and police.
The exhibition is a collaboration with the Merseyside Black History Month Group | (MBHMG) and Writing on the Wall | (WoW).

Went to plant sale today.....
very early in a town about 20+ miles from my house. They had 2500 plants for sale and a huge crowd that wouldn't quit. Hadn't been to this one before-but it waas well worth it. Lots of little red wagons. Got some bugbane(black cohosh)(Actae/Cimicifuga), Boltania-Snowbank, Virginia Bluebells, crested iris, and red lobelia.....
Our local town garden plant sale is next weekend (I'll have to try to stay away!!)
Good for you. Were they good buys? I love plant sales.
Everything was in quart/gallon pots and went for $5/ea. So basically, yes.
Wonderful choices! Great summer fun!!! Waiting
to see you fruits of you labor at the end of the summer!
"Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>)
That sounds like a great haul! Glad you got some nice plants. ((thumbs up))
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
Good for you. Sounds great. Enjoy.
Score!!! Wanna lay money on you staying away from the local plant sale?
Well, you see, it's like this......the local plant sale is super cheap!!!! And I lost my coneflowers and can't wintersow them till next year.....and then there's those plants the wood chuck ate....and I'm revamping the back yard garden....so.....you are probably right about the odds. And I have this disease (CHAD)-remember???>>? LOL!!
Lucky you! Lots of good choices!
Pretty much all I've ever gotten at our local Master Gardener sales are invasive stuff...that's why they have it to sell...LOL!
Happy planting!
Jvelo-That's what I did all weekend..pull invasives. Years ago thought they were real bargains...before realizing what a pain in ensuing years. The more I dig LOV the faster it fills in. That and periwinkle. Then the birds leave me scads of bittersweet. And so much more.
Sigh-that's why spring is such a chore.
Oh goodness, I planted periwinkle ONCE! Never again! That was way back before I knew better!
That was at a house we rented...it may still be going strong there!
And LOV won't grow down here. It might live for a couple of years and even put out a bloom stem or two...but then it dies. Too much heat here!
But we have our own invasives down here...a whole different set.
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
The only invasive I ever planted that spread was mint. And then it did not upset me because I love the smell. What is LOV?
Been there, done that with mint. Now I keep it in a pot. Well it sounds like you got some nice things at the plant sale. I don't know how you can resist the other one if the prices are good.
Lily of the Valley is LOV.
I've gotten gooseneck loosestrife and a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head, that are very invasive. The worst are the ones that travel under the soil surface. So hard to pull out!
Mint I know to plant in a pot, not the ground.
Several years ago I planted three obedient plants. They bloom in late summer so I thought that would give me some late color. Now, over half my garden is overgrown with the stuff, and I need to pull it out everly year. (It twoo grows by spreading under the soil so you never get it all out.)
There is supposedly an obedient plant, called "Miss Manners" (white), that is no so aggressive. I don't have it. Like you I pull the stuff constantly.
I bought something from Blue Stone a few years ago. I don't remember what it was other than it was cherry something or other. It has low growing leaves that look sort of like a grape leaf and it gets a stem that comes up and had pink bell flowers.
The info on their sight did NOT say anything about it spreading, but boy does it ever! Since I got 3 & planted them in different places it is trying to take them all over. I "think" I've finally gotten it out of one are but there are 2 more to go! I'm going to have to just sit down out there & keep pulling to get it all!
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
I think that is what I have. Someone gave it to me and last summer it was really pretty but now it looks like it's really spread quite a bit. Pink flowers, bloomed later in the summer than anything else. Between that and the bee balm, I've got quite a little patch going. Bet it will be pretty this year but hopefully not too difficult to maintain.
Fluff-Can't remember if it's a native or not, but I think it is. However, if you can keep it under control it's a great pollinator. Bees, etc. love it. Wish I had more room for it...and yes, it is the pink one.
I'll have to post a pic this summer and see if you can identify it. They were really eye catching!
GAKaren, What a pain! I wonder what that one is.

To appraise a vehicle, please select a model below:
The Chevrolet Avalanche is one of the more versatile vehicles on the road today. It successfully blends the comfort and passenger capacity of an SUV with the cargo flexibility of a pickup truck. While these two main attributes are also associated with full-size crew cab pickups, the Avalanche goes one step further with its distinctive fold-down midgate that extends the bed into the cabin for greater hauling capability.
Since its debut, the Chevrolet Avalanche has been based on General Motors' full-size SUV platform. This means that its basic underpinnings and powertrains are similar to those of other GM full-size utes. Though it costs a bit more than the average crew-cab pickup, the versatile Avalanche has proven to be a reasonable sales success. For the shopper in need of a jack-of-all-trades vehicle, either generation of this unusual truck should make for a smart choice.
Current Chevrolet Avalanche
The Chevrolet Avalanche is a full-size SUV with an open bed in back as opposed to the normally covered, wagonlike cargo compartment. The midgate feature allows one to quickly change this rig from a five-to-six-passenger crew cab pickup with a 5-foot 3-inch cargo box to a two-to-three-passenger pickup with an approximate 8-foot cargo box. Bonus features include removable cargo covers and storage compartments placed along the outside of the cargo box.
There are three trim levels: base Avalanche LS, midgrade Avalanche LT and plush Avalanche LTZ. All models are equipped with a 5.3-liter V8 (320 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque) that's matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. LS and LT 4WD models get a single-speed transfer case, while a two-speed transfer case with low-range gearing is standard on the LTZ and available as an option on other trim levels.
In reviews, we found the Avalanche to be comfortable and smooth-riding for such a capable workhorse. Performance is sprightly considering the Avalanche's heft. The big truck is relatively easy to drive on open roads, thanks to precise steering and predictable handling. Maneuvering in tight spots is tough, however, due to the Avalanche's massive size and considerable blind spots astern.
Used Chevrolet Avalanche Models
The present, second-generation Chevy Avalanche debuted for 2007. Sleeker exterior styling, a sharper and more precise driving feel and increased interior refinement are the chief advantages compared to the first-generation Avalanche. Apart from the availability of an optional 6.0-liter V8 (with 366 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque) from 2007-'09 and the addition of a six-speed automatic for '09, changes for this generation since have been minimal. Prior to 2009, the 5.3-liter V8 was rated slightly differently (310 hp for the 4WD and 320 hp for the 2WD) and all Avalanches had a four-speed automatic transmission.
The original 2002-'06 Chevrolet Avalanche established itself with its innovative midgate. The foldable midgate allowed the rear seats to be lowered and the cargo area to be expanded to the length of a long bed on a normal pickup. In terms of passenger room and cargo bed versatility, this truck is very similar to the current one. At its debut, the first-generation model was offered with two- or four-wheel drive and in 1500 (half-ton) or 2500 (3/4-ton) designations. The 1500 came with a 5.3-liter V8 good for 285 hp. The 2500 model had a 340-hp 8.1-liter V8 as well as higher towing and payload capacities. Both engines came standard with a four-speed automatic transmission.
In reviews conducted on the debut model, the truck received high marks for its versatile and innovative cab configuration, comfortable seating and more nimble nature compared to true crew-cab pickups of the day. Downsides included compromised outward visibility, low-grade interior materials and awkward exterior styling. That last attribute was frequently attributed to the truck's standard-issue gray-color lower body cladding. Chevrolet wisely made it an option starting in 2003.
Shoppers interested in a used Chevy Avalanche should keep in mind that small but notable changes were made for most of the vehicle's run. These include a special North Face Edition for '03 as well as the addition of optional stability control and a slight drop in rated power for the 8.1-liter V8 the following year.

Praise God for the release of John Short, an Australian missionary who was detained in North Korea for distributing Christian leaflets. John, who is 75 and based in Hong Kong, was reported to security officials in Pyongyang after he was spotted leaving a Christian leaflet at a Buddhist temple, an act that is illegal in North Korea. Further Korean-language Christian pamphlets were subsequently found in his hotel room. John, who was released on 3 March after two weeks in custody, was required to sign a confession probably scripted by the authorities. Other foreign missionaries arrested in North Korea have been given long prison sentences. Give thanks to God that John has escaped further punishment, and pray for him as he recovers from his traumatic ordeal.

Pray for Barnabas Fund partners in South Sudan who have been supporting Christians forced from their homes by violence. Conflict between supporters of President Salva Kiir and his sacked deputy Riek Machar in December and January displaced around 860,000 people. Churches were burned down and a number of pastors killed, while many people lost their belongings and were left destitute. Give thanks that churches in and around the capital, Juba, were able to provide food and other essentials to many families with help from Barnabas. Pray that they may continue to be salt and light in their country at this unstable time (Matthew 5:13-16), and that it will soon be safe for displaced Christians to return home.

Pray for the residents of a mainly Christian village in Borno state, Northern Nigeria, in the aftermath of a horrific attack by Boko Haram militants on 15 February. Ask for God's comfort for the relatives and friends of the 106 people in Izghe who were gunned down and slaughtered in their houses or in the open as they tried to flee. Pray for strength for the numerous residents who were wounded or whose properties were looted and torched. Pray too for the many Christians who fled into the neighbouring state after the attack, and ask that the Christian community in the North of Nigeria will be preserved in the face of Islamist violence.

Violent attacks by militants from the Islamist group Boko Haram continue unabated in Northern Nigeria. On one horrendous day of violence on 26 January, at least 138 people were killed. A church in Wada Chakawa village in Adamawa state was targeted; the attackers locked the congregation inside and then detonated bombs, shooting and cutting the throats of people who tried to escape. They then went on a four-hour rampage in the village. Later the same day, Kawuri village in neighbouring Borno state was burned to the ground. Boko Haram is fighting to establish an Islamic state, and Christians are among its main targets. Pray that the Nigerian authorities will succeed in containing its insurgency.

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we give You thanks on this Easter Day for the living hope that You have given us and all Your people through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead (1 Peter 1:3). We pray that the prospect of an enduring inheritance and future salvation will encourage our persecuted brothers and sisters to persevere in their faith, whatever may happen to them. We pray that we too may be sustained by this hope in the sufferings that we experience for the sake of Christ. We ask that the joy and resurrection power of the Lord will give strength and peace to persecuted believers today and every day.

Flying Alarm Clock

It's not that we've gotten lazy as a species, far from it! We're more productive now than we've ever been, but with more and more work to do, we have to create time by cutting down on late night raids on Molten Core, ordering fast-food, talking on the phone while driving The only time we have left is spent sleeping. Now you have to stay up late and get up early in an effort to get more done.
Waking up after a pitiful five hours of sleep has its own challenges, though. At ThinkGeek, we're always looking for new ways to haul your lazy butt out of bed. Normal alarm clocks wake you up with loud noises to jar you into wakefulness, however we've become accustomed to the snooze-bar Now, it's become muscular instinct to flail your hands roughly in the direction of the noise, and smack! Nine more minutes of blissful unconsciousness. No more.
The Flying Alarm Clock wakes you up with a loud shrieking alarm coupled with a little propeller-driven key that leaps off your nightstand. To turn off the horrible racket, you have to get out of bed and retrieve the key. The propeller flies the key high into the air and off into some dusty corner. You have to force your sleep addled brain into wakefulness, move your stiff legs and retrieve the key before the alarm goes off. By the time you've done so, you're awake enough at least to go make a pot of coffee.

Utility has also restored electric service to more than 100,000 customers since Tuesday, just three days after completing massive restoration effort triggered by Hurricane Irene
Vast majority of remaining affected customers should be restored by late this afternoon
BALTIMORE, Sept. 9, 2011 – Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) today announced that it is working very closely with the City of Havre de Grace in Harford County to address issues associated with major flooding caused by ongoing torrential rains and the rising of the Susquehanna River. For safety reasons, the utility began suspending natural gas and electric service to customers last night, and as of this morning, natural gas service had been suspended to approximately 200 customers and electric service had been suspended to nearly 90 customers. However, the number of customers affected is expected to increase with the opening of additional floodgates at the Conowingo Dam this morning and the forecasted cresting of the Susquehanna River tomorrow morning. Service will be restored to the affected customers after the water recedes and BGE has completed a thorough inspection of its equipment, made any necessary repairs and determines it is safe to restore service.
"BGE has been working very closely with the City of Havre de Grace and Harford County emergency management officials to ensure the safety of residents affected by the historic rainfall and subsequent flooding that have triggered mandatory evacuations in some areas," said A. Christopher Burton, senior vice president of gas and electric operations for BGE. "This continues to be a very fluid situation and we continue to monitor the rising flood waters and expect additional customers will be taken out of service to help ensure their safety and to minimize damage to our gas and electric infrastructure."
In addition to BGE's efforts in Havre de Grace, the utility is also aggressively working to restore electric service to customers affected by the recent heavy rain and thus far has restored service to more than 100,000 customer since Tuesday, just three days after completing the massive restoration effort associated with Hurricane Irene. The utility expects service to the vast majority of customers affected by this latest round of outages to be restored by late this afternoon. Many of the outages were caused by large trees and tree limbs falling onto power lines and other equipment. Many of these trees were weakened by Hurricane Irene and have been further weakened by the continued rainfall. Important restoration information is available via www.bge.com, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr.
Customers should have basic items on hand in advance of a storm, including the following:
Flashlights – not candles
Fresh batteries
Battery operated clock radio
Corded telephone
Fully charged cell phone
Non-perishable foods
Customers are always reminded to stay away from downed power lines and to report them immediately by calling 1-410-685-0123. Power outages should be reported by calling BGE's automated system at 1-877-778-2222.
Customers also should consider filling the fuel tanks of their vehicles in the event a power outage affects service to neighborhood gas stations. For customers who rely on well water, filling a bathtub with water in advance of severe weather is strongly encouraged.
BGE's restoration priorities are public safety issues and critical facilities, such as 911 centers, hospitals and pumping stations. Then restoration is generally scheduled so that the greatest number of customers can be restored as quickly and as safely as possible. However, in cases of extended power outages, consideration is also given to customers who have been without service for the longest.
In addition to monitoring current and approaching weather conditions which could result in service interruptions, BGE regularly conducts emergency training drills during which all aspects of storm related service restoration are tested. BGE also reviews its Electric Delivery Emergency Response Plan to ensure that storm response procedures are up-to-date and in line with industry standards.
BGE, www.bge.com, headquartered in Baltimore, is Maryland's largest gas and electric utility, delivering power to more than 1.2 million electric customers and more than 640,000 natural gas customers in Central Maryland. The company's approximately 3,000 employees are committed to the safe and reliable delivery of gas and electricity, as well as enhanced energy management, conservation, environmental stewardship and community assistance. BGE is a subsidiary of Constellation Energy, www.constellation.com, a FORTUNE 500 company also headquartered in Baltimore, with subsidiaries that generate, sell and provide other energy-related services to customers throughout North America.

I was expecting to see a white micro fiber backing and was pleasantly surprised that the fabric was the same on the back and front of the drape. The panels are very high quality and the fabric has a thick softness with a satiny feel. I ordered two panels for an over-sized sliding door along with the grommet top 104" wide thermal curtain panel pair for another room. They turned out to be from the same manufacturer and matched perfectly. I took a chance that the drapes were similar and it paid off! But there should have been a cross reference to make shopping easier.
I was concerned after reading other reviews on other black out products across the web that this product may look tacky in my luxurious top end bedroom. NOT SO! I am so glad I chose this product. Only a slight sheen to the fabric so seems very nice and most importantly, blocks out 100% light. Also glad I chose one panel that easily slides across entire window instead of 2 seperate panels. I can finally sleep! Now I want to order more by this same company for my front windows!
These are easy to hang and after about a week the wrinkles just seem to magically disappear. Good looking in my bed room. Just remember to order two of them if you have to cover more than a single paned window.
These curtain panels were everything I was looking for and then some. I looked and looked and looked for the perfect panels to cover my porch sliding glass door and could not find anything the right color, length, width, AND price until I found these. The look amazing in the living room, the color was exactly what I expected,they block out light incredibly well, and they are super stylish. I would recommend them to anyone looking for thick, light-blocking, brown curtains to cover a large window.
First, these are pretty nice curtains. The quality of the fabric is very nice. But a few things for those considering them. First, they are NOT blackout curtains. The sunlight showed through clearly, and if I put my hands behind them, I can see the shadow. That is NOT blackout then. Also, it's the listed procedure to use the drier to get out the creases only worked sort of. That said, they are pretty nice quality. Just don't expect them to truly black out all the light.
I bought these curtains for my daughters room. She was waking up really early and not sleeping well during her nap time. They have helped her to go back to her normal routine. They are not complete blackouts like other people have said but they are good especially for the price. I have true blackout curtains in my nursery and they make the room completely dark during the day. If these curtains were paired with a pull down shade you could probably get completely dark. They work good enough for what I wanted them for.
The curtain panels are perfect for my needs. I needed something for a 9 foot sliding glass door and window. Perfect for blocking out the heat, cold and light.
These are nice drapes for the money. They were all of equal length, so they hang nicely. I love the color, a rich, soft beige. My only suggestion to improve these would be to put a little weight in each bottom corner. It would make them hang better right away.
We purchased the olive panel -- it's a wonderful, blendable choice. However, the 84" width of the panel doesn't extend all the way and so any thermal benefits are lost. It does darken nicely, however, if that's one's ultimate needs.
I've been looking for thick thermal curtain panels in a light color for a long time. Finally I found these at Overstock. They are well made and the material is solid, heavy, and the color is pleasantly gentle. Price is good, not as expensive as Macy's.

Okay, first i clicked the little "iPod Touch" button next to "Jailbreak iPhone" and it did that. Then I read that I want to fix the NVRAM thing, so I did. In the middle of that, I cancelled because I decided I'd rather just use online applications. So I clicked the "Refurbish" button. It said "Searching for iPhone..." and that's all it does. I've restarted my computer, iPod, and iTunes, but nothing helps. I looked in the My Computer folder and the iPod never shows up there either. On my iPod Touch, it keeps saying:

The Lady Lion's junior varsity team is finding success this season with a record of eight wins and four losses. The young hoopsters have won their last four games in a row, and all these wins have come while the coaches have been experimenting with different line-ups. The JV team is coached by Jason Maguire; assisted by David James, under head coach Sandy Mitchell.

The Lyons Lions boys' basketball team took on the powerful Strasburg Indians (13 and 2, 5 and 1 in league play) last Friday night (January 31). Despite playing some tough defense right from the start of the game, Lyons found themselves down 18 to 11 after the first quarter. Zach Christiansen was hot with shooting three pointers for the

What are the risk factors for Castleman disease?
Next Topic
How is Castleman disease diagnosed?
Do we know what causes Castleman disease?
The main feature of Castleman disease is an overgrowth of lymphocytes (immune cells) called B cells. The cause of Castleman disease (CD) is not known for sure, but doctors suspect it is related to problems with the way a person's immune system is working. Many people with CD have abnormally high blood levels of certain substances produced by immune system cells.
Some scientists believe that some cases of CD may be caused by the body making too much of a protein called interleukin-6 (IL-6). IL-6 normally helps regulate immune function. Too much IL-6 seems to cause lymphocytes to grow and divide too quickly. High levels of IL-6 are often seen in the multicentric form of CD. But it's not clear what causes the high levels of IL-6.
A virus seems to be involved in at least some cases of CD. Human herpes virus type 8 (HHV-8) is found in the lymph node B cells of many people who are HIV-positive and have multicentric CD. This virus is also known as Kaposi sarcoma-related herpes virus (KSHV) because it has also been found in people with Kaposi sarcoma (a rare type of cancer). In fact, some people with CD also have Kaposi sarcoma. HHV-8 has also been shown to cause infected cells to make a form of IL-6.

The SPCA is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the individuals responsible for the deaths of six dogs that were found dead and stuffed in garbage bags in South Philadelphia.
Officials were called to 26th Street and Washington Avenue by workers making a routine inspection of railroad tracks in the area, when found black trash bags with six adult pitbull remains in them. All of the dogs had extensive injuries and wounds.
George Bengal, Director of Humane Law Enforcement at the PA SPCA tells FOX29 that all of the dogs died within 24 hours of being discovered.
The SCPA says they do not want to speculate on the cause of death, although they know the animals did not died of natural causes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pennsylvania SPCA's Anti-Cruelty hotline at 1-866-601-SPCA.

Sometimes—perhaps often—it's what students learn outside the classroom that has the most influence on their life's work. That's certainly what D'Angelo Bailey '05, the current director of the Jeter's Leaders program of the Turn 2 Foundation, has discovered.
As a basketball player at Kalamazoo College, Bailey was required during his freshman year to volunteer once a week at Kalamazoo's Woodward Elementary School. The oldest of 10 children, Bailey felt he'd put in enough time being around kids at home while he was growing up. But the Woodward experience, he soon discovered, made him feel less homesick, and he enjoyed it, so much so, in fact, that he continued to volunteer there throughout his years at K. Bailey also became involved with Keeping the Doors Open, the math camp of John Fink, the Rosemary K. Brown Professor in Mathematics and Computer Science. The program selects and works with high-aptitude middle school math students in the Kalamazoo Public School system to keep their passion for the subject aflame.
Bailey's time on the basketball court while he was at K also had a huge influence on his future. A point guard, he played his first three years at K, with the team making it to the NCAA Division 3 tournament his sophomore year. Then, during his junior year, a torn meniscus forced him off the court. Instead of playing, he spent his senior year coaching the junior varsity team and serving as an assistant coach of the varsity team. Like his family, his teammates always made him feel like he was part of a close-knit unit, Bailey says.
Bailey's graduation coincided with a tough economic downturn. "The economy was tanking," he says. "Jobs were short for my class." He was ready to move back home to Chicago: "I was going to take any job." He wasn't looking forward to doing that, since, throughout college, he had been the one held up as an example to his high school friends, most of whom—among those who had gone to college—had dropped out along the way and returned home to live with their parents.
Then his Kalamazoo friends and K connections kicked in. A week before he was going to leave Michigan, a friend offered him a room in his townhome, so Bailey decided to stay on a little longer. He got a job with Residential Opportunities Inc. (ROI), which provides services to disabled children and adults. Then he got a call from Fink, urging him to contact the Turn 2 Foundation about an opening they had for a program coordinator.
Turn 2 is a not-for-profit organization founded by New York Yankees shortstop, and Kalamazoo favorite son, Derek Jeter. Named for Jeter's Yankees uniform number, as well as baseball jargon ("turning two") for an infield double play, the Foundation aims to give young people a group they can "turn to." The mission of the Turn 2 Foundation is to promote healthy lifestyles among young people and to help them avoid drugs and alcohol. Since its launch in 1996, the Turn 2 Foundation has awarded more than $12 million in grants that have benefited thousands of young people. It has programs in Kalamazoo, New York City, and Tampa, Florida.
Bailey applied for the Kalamazoo-based Turn 2 job, kept his ROI job, and also accepted a coaching position at K, continuing to work with both the men's junior varsity and varsity basketball teams. In 2006, with a few minutes still unaccounted for in his day, he decided to go back to school. Somehow he managed it all, and earned a master's degree in public affairs from Western Michigan University in 2009.
Today Bailey is down to just one job, and he's able to devote all his attention to the Turn 2 Foundation, where he describes his work as leadership development for young people. In the nearly seven years he's worked at the foundation, Bailey says that more than 50 Jeter's Leaders have graduated from high schools in the Kalamazoo area. (Bailey notes that some of those graduates were among the Woodward School students he tutored in his undergrad days at K.) The Foundation's Kalamazoo program consists of Jeter's Leaders, for high school students; Proud to Be Me, for elementary students; and Youth in Action, for middle schoolers. To enter the high school program students must have a 3.0 GPA, plus a commitment to serve the community. Most of the applicants are athletes, and many
"Our job is to enhance their leadership skills."attend the Kalamazoo Area Math and Science Center as well as their regular high school. Turn 2 participation involves more than 120 volunteer hours per year, says Bailey, so it's a big commitment for already-busy youth. "These students have the potential to be great leaders, and they possess a lot of leadership skills," says Bailey. "Our job is to enhance their skills."
Some of the skills they enhance are public speaking, global awareness, and preparation for college. Jeter's Leaders students are taken on college tours each year, and a summer service project brings the New York and Michigan youth together. The 2012 summer trip was to Washington, D.C. Previous summer projects included a post-Hurricane Katrina service project in New Orleans.
Bailey credits Derek Jeter and his family, all of whom are involved with the foundation, for making Turn 2 run like a family. "They make sure they're available for us," he says, "and none of us wants to let each other down."
Bailey says he has seen changes at K in the area of diversity in recent years. When he first moved to Kalamazoo, Bailey recalls that he was one of just 30 or so students of color at the school. Today, some 20 percent of the nearly 1,400-member student community are students of color. Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran became president of Kalamazoo College the year Bailey was a senior, and he could feel the change. "She reached out to make everyone feel welcome," he says.
Now, he says, he feels more like he and fellow students and alums of color are more "a part of the fabric of K." He recently became a member of the College's Alumni Association Executive Board.
Although Bailey's college education came from K, he says, "I learned a lot outside the classroom, and I found my career outside the classroom." But when his family asks him, "Would you be doing the same thing if you had gone to a different school?" he answers, "Probably not."
Inside or outside the classroom, on the basketball court or meeting with tomorrow's leaders, Bailey feels that his Kalamazoo College experience played a major role in the person he is today.

I am SO in! I went last year and have to say there was a VERY poor Jedi turn out. Let me know what the deal is closer to the event!
P.S- I live in Hamilton, about a hour's drive from TO and I have crash space if anyone's interested.

We've got 4-5 people (1 pilot, a Padme?, and a RC) in our car alone, plus another 2 coming up from the Toledo area, you guys, PLUS our Canadian friends...this is gonna be frelling awesome!!!
I notice the group shots usually happen at the same time most times.
I know we usually do one pic of just 501st...one of RL...then dog-pile together for one BIG "family picture." If that helps anyone not miss out on being in a picture, I'd offer that suggestion to our Canadian hosts.
That being said, we're all guest in your backyard guys, ya'll call the play and we'll be there.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news (as my wife and I are going to this as well) but there are strong indications that Hayden is canceling his appearance. No official word yet so hopefully something can yet be worked out but it is not looking good. It should still be a good time but that is a bit of a bummer...

Ben at OPX for one (although his comment may have since been removed from Rebelscum because I can't find it). Allegedly he received an updated flyer from the SFX organizer at SDCC stating Hayden's cancellation and this was why he was holding off on sending out Hayden pics to suppliers. An acquaintance on TFN has also been in touch with one of the marketing dudes for SFX who also confirmed (intel from him has been spot on so far). Tem was apparently booked as Hayden's replacement, and if that is the case then the organizers have known this for a few weeks already...not nice, IMO.
Still, there is supposed to be an announcement today since today is when info is to be sent out and...nothing yet. Perhaps something is being worked out

Its official now. Check Hobbystar for the details. I'm sure it isn't the position the organizers wanted to be in but it is reality. I don't know why they say postponed though, they make it clear they don't have anything lined up in the future with him.

Well, that's a shame...I know alot of people were looking forward to meeting the guy. And I like the fact that they're doing:
If you purchased a Hayden Christensen VIP package from any outlet, Fan Expo Canada will refund you the same as above, but we will honour your VIP reservation with a complimentary Deluxe Pass to the this year's Fan Expo Canada as an apology and a thank you for your support.
So no Hayden but Temuera Morrison seems like a cool guy?

Yes, Tem Morrison is a very nice guy by all accounts. He was quite pleasant to us at C4 although we weren't with him for too long. Still, I've never heard anybody say anything bad about him.
Ironically, Kim and I are now planning on adding a day and going for two days instead of one. Go figure.
The organizers seem to be handling the situation as best they can. Props to them, and condolences to your sister, Krash

I am very glad to see so many Rebels are wanting to come out to the event!
If I can get a list from each Base of who is coming and if you like what costumes and I can pass that along to the proper channels.
I will update the main page with a confirmed list and we can get all this rolling before the convention!
Thanks all!

There are no plans with Meet and Greets and such. The group photo was in limbo as we only had a few RL members express interest, and as the 501st one is not even set in stone, I figured we could cordinate it at the convention after everyone got there and work things out.
There has been no one stepping up to arrange these things either, and the only point in contact so far has been Krash.
For now my only suggestion is to meet at the 501st table to arrange some RL things. Due to such low RL numbers (at least of posted here) there was no way for us to get a table.
With the number we do have coming out it will be a blast, and I am sorry you feel there are no plans being made. JediXXL pointed out last page that teh group shots happen at the same time usually so when the times for the 501st photo are given we can plan to have them at the same time, just after or just before.
