PORT ROYAL - The village of Spruce Hill may be an unlikely place to see hundreds of religious devotees gathering for a Hare Krishna festival.
But on July 31 the Gita Nagari Farm just outside of town will open its grounds to families from near and far who either are devoted to or just curious about the annual Ratha Yatra, or Festival of Chariots.
An annual occurrence at the farm, the Ratha Yatra is a summer festival to honor the Lord Jagannath's visit to his home community.
The parade of the chariot is the highlight of the celebration when the crowd gathers to commemorate the lord's journey. Dressed in vibrant red and yellow fabrics and strewn with colorful flowers and jewelry, the chariot carries the Lord Jagannath and deities Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra through the symbolic parade.
The crowd gathers around the chariot to sing devotional songs and make music on the drums, tambourines and trumpets.
To touch or pull the chariot is considered a pious act or penance; and devotees believe that seeing Lord Jagannath on the chariot outside of a temple is emancipating, according to a website about the festival, rathjatra.nic.in.
Fact Box
r What: Ratha Yatra, Festival of Chariots
r When: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 31
r Where: Gita Nagari Farm, off state Route 75 in Spruce Hill
For more information, visit gitanagari.org or call 527-4101.
Originally, Ratha Yatra began in the city of Puri, India. Every summer, the city is a pilgrimage destination for hundreds of Hindus who come to march in the parade and help pull the chariot, according to the website.
In the 1960s, the Hare Krishna movement expanded the festival to communities around the world, including the one in Spruce Hill.
The local festival is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 31 at the farm, located off state Route 75 behind the Spruce Hill Lunch.
The food court and vendors will open at 10 a.m., and the procession will begin at noon. At 1 p.m., the farm staff will open the event with a welcome, and live music and dancing will follow at 1:30 p.m.
A free vegetarian feast and light bhajans, Indian devotional songs, will be at 3 p.m.
The farm will host tours of the cows and gardens at 4 p.m. including a milking demonstration. A log sawing contest also will take place at this time.
At 5:30 p.m., the group will gather for a final kirtan, or call and response chanting.
The Gita Nagari Farm is a religious 350-acre farm of about 50 people. Located on the farm is a Hare Krishna temple where those from the farm and community worship at daily services, including a Sunday feast program.
Gita Nagari also is the home to about 20 cows, some of which are milked and others that were saved from slaughter.
For more information about the festival and the farm, visit www.gitanagari.org or call 527-4101.

Confusion regarding TAC document
To the editor: In the March 28 Salem News, Mr. Cahill of TAC said TAC had not planned to close Broadway in any way, shape or form.
TACs 70 page document does state:
A geographical central point in the development area should be emphasized as a focal social, cultural, and meeting point. Broadway and State intersection was one suggested idea, as it could be expanded to accommodate green space for modest investment of parking space, "a handful of parking spaces" could be given up and roadway. A water element (fountain, sculpture) was agreed upon as a good idea to incorporate into this focal point.
I do not see how one can put a fountain at the Broadway and State intersection for a modest investment of parking space, "a handful of parking spaces" could be given up and roadway without closing Broadway at State.
If in fact this part of the plan is now off the table could we please have that struck from the TAC 70 page plan?
Lion and Lamb owner,
Commissioners ignoring situation
To the editor: Most people have probably heard the old joke that someone "couldn't get elected dog catcher." Well, in Columbiana County, the dog warden isn't elected, and it's a bad joke for several reasons.
Any official who refuses to investigate legitimate cases about dogs doing damage to property or livestock or even refuses to return phone calls, can't be worth the money that we as taxpayers are paying them. For those of you who own livestock in this county, you may not know that the commissioners have a program that will pay $500 for animals that are injured by dogs. But only if the dog warden investigates. If she refuses to investigate, you are not eligible for the fund, or worse, any help with the problem.
The county commissioners are aware of the situation, and have obviously chosen to ignore it. A logical person would conclude that the commissioners are far more concerned about the money that is being pumped into and out of this county than they are about the people who live here. And, oh yes, the people who elected the commissioners to office.
Don't blame the 'changing times'
To the editor: Recently I tuned in to a popular talk show and listened to a rather heated discussion about the social problems facing this country. One person was pleading the liberal side of the problem by trying to convince his opponent the decaying movement of our society was due to only changing times.
As the various issues were brought up the man on the left continuously laid the blame on what he called changing times. I heartily agreed with the other one who argued that it was people who changed not time. To blame peoples' behavior on changing times is a pure cop out. Time is used as a point of reference and to record the behavior of humans and other events.
How can we blame changing times for our indifference towards the sanctity of life which allows a million abortions to take place each year?
How do we blame changing times for the thousands of babies being born out of wedlock each year?
How can we blame changing times for the loss of discipline that has over taken our people?
We are the only species on this earth with a free will. This gift that God has bestowed on us gives us a choice of working to rekindle the flame that made this country great or we can sit back and remain in our sad state of complacent indifference.
However in the 93 years I have been around I have never lost faith in the American people and I have to believe we will find our way back and once again be the strongest and proudest nation on this earth.

I don't know how many people caught this but during her interview she let slip that she was in the first two episode and that they were the two set in the US... of course most of us already suspected this, but this provides a confirmation for us.

"I was working out with my trainer this morning," Garner, 40, said at the premiere of The Odd Life of Timothy Green, which hits theaters Aug. 15. "And she was like 'Yeah, I think it's time. I think we need to put some pleather on!' "
Trainer Valerie Waters credits Garner's enviable figure to the actress's consistent workouts during and after pregnancy.
"She's looking so amazing right now," says Waters, who's worked with Garner for more than a decade. "She looks strong and sexy, and I like that she's rocking her Lycra again!"
Garner may have jumped back into exercising four weeks after having Samuel, but she started slow. "The first couple workouts were 15 to 20 minutes," says Waters, who has since increased the sessions to 40 minutes, three to four times a week.
Aside from cardio twice a week, a typical workout might include a strength training circuits using weights, exercise bands and Waters's ValSlide training tool.
"Getting out of the sweats and into the leggings was a big step," says Waters.
Kids Exercise, TooWhen it comes to staying fit, Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3, look to be taking after their mother.
"We have tiny little weights for them, and they'll come in and lift them over their heads," says the trainer. "They're so cute and they definitely like to do what Mommy likes to do, for sure."
As for her diet, Garner eats mostly organic, with a minimum of processed foods. To curb cravings, she keeps bowls of fresh veggies and fruit – like cantaloupe and raspberries – around the house for easy access.
"Jen can cook, so she's able to make healthy meals that are balanced," says Waters. "She makes the most perfect scrambled eggs, with a little avocado on the side."
"We're at a fine-tuning, sculpting stage now," she adds. "She's strong and can kick it into gear – no question, bring it on!"

Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! Big weather changes are stuffed into the forecast this Thanksgiving holiday. In today's blog we discuss the big temperature swings ahead, and also the threat of rain showers on Thanksgiving Day.
Let's start with a quick overview of the next 24 hours. Mild temperatures will rule from Tuesday into Wednesday with highs well into the 50s. One concern for early morning travelers on Wednesday is dense fog across much of Wisconsin. Also, be careful deer hunters as you head into the woods early Wednesday.
For Thanksgiving Day a south to southwest breeze of 10 to 20 mph will push warm air north. Assuming we see some sun through midday, highs should jump into the low 60s. The record warmest Thanksgiving in Milwaukee is 65 degrees in 1914.
By late Thursday afternoon a cold front will approach the area and bring a chance of a few showers to southeast Wisconsin. Some computer models we use keep the area dry, while others develop a few showers. Either way any threat of rain should hold off until after 3pm.
The GFS computer model forecast below is valid at 3pm Thursday. This ONE forecast pushes a chance of showers into our area late Thursday.
Ahead of the cold front temperatures will surge on Thanksgiving pushing highs into the low 60s. The NAM temperature forecast below is valid at 3pm Thursday. While we enjoy warm weather, colder air is plunging into the northern Plains.
Cold air will arrive in southeast Wisconsin on Friday with highs in the 30s and 40s. All locations should see highs in the 30s by Saturday! Don't put away your winter coat! The GFS temperature forecast map below is valid at noon Saturday.
The colder than average temperatures will linger into at least early next week. The new weather pattern now established looks to support big temperature swings this season, something we discussed in the Weather Watch 12 winter forecast.
For the latest weather information, watch WISN 12 News! For updates throughout the day follow me on Twitter @jnelsonweather
Have a great day!

The Mlive article got me thinking about this.
The majority seems to think that #14 in the rafters is a no-go.
So what works against Shanny the most?
- Not playing his entire career here? This is bull to me for Shanny because anyone who knows of Brendan Shanahan thinks of him as a Red Wing and it's not close.
- The selectiveness of the Red Wings when it comes to retiring numbers? The guys who are up there are legends.
- The fact that the Wings won't retire #91? Maybe if he didn't act like such a ****...
Reality is that when he was here, he was arguably our best player and without question our #1 goal scorer. I personally think he should be retired, but I'm only at about 55/45 with it. I think the argument that works against him the most is the Wings' selectiveness.

$20 Lottery Scratch Off Tickets
|Email Print
Last week, as my lovely wife was waiting in line at the supermarket checkout aisle, I wandered around. I don't really enjoy waiting around for much of anything. It's a mixture of impatience, attention deficit, and boredom, but in the time between putting the groceries on the belt and taking our bags to leave, I usually wander around the front of the store. I look at the piles of firewood, the coffee stand, some of the headlines on the newspapers, and I ended up looking at the cornucopia of scratch off lottery tickets in the automated dispenser.
That's when I noticed that it sold twenty dollar scratch off tickets. (that's one of them to the right) Twenty bucks… one card. The card probably had a bunch of games on it but the idea that there would be not one but three different $20 scratch off tickets was absolutely mind boggling. I was amazed. (as you can see, the letter "r" on my phone doesn't work that great anymore)
What makes it even more remarkable is that it's generally accepted that scratch off games offer the worst odds. The appeal is in the immediacy of the payoff. You scratch, you win, you walk into a store and get some cash. You don't have to wait for a drawing, you have a little fun in scratching things off, and the ticket itself can be cheap ($1). The problem is that you probably won't win anything.
A lot of other bloggers have done the $100 scratch off lottery game, where they buy a hundred $1 scratch off tickets and share their results. My favorite, and most entertaining, version of this was the $100 scratch off game by J Money. In his edition, he spent 90 minutes of his life and turned $100 into $38. If you want a way to turn $100 into $38 in less than 90 minutes, send me the crisp Franklin and I'll send you back a Jackson, a Hamilton, a Lincoln, and three Washingtons. I'll even cover postage.
Finally, if you are deadset on buying tickets… here are my secrets to how to win the lottery. 🙂{ 77 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Mikey Moore had one question for Mother Nature Monday as he worked behind the desk at the Elkins/Randolph County YMCA - where did fall go?
Moore, who hovered close to his space heater, said Monday's unseasonably chilly temperatures had convinced him that winter was on its way - or already here. Had he somehow missed autumn, he wondered?
"We've gone straight from summer into winter," the YMCA employee said. "We had no fall; we had no spring."
Article Photos
The Inter-Mountain photo by Katie Kuba
Jenna and Aidan Lowther brave bone-chilling drizzle and temperatures in the high 30s Monday afternoon as they hurry down Fourth Street, en route to somewhere warmer.
As a slow but steady rain fell over north central West Virginia Monday, temperatures dropped to 39 degrees. Local residents even reported sprinklings of snow in Mill Creek and Davis.
Despite Moore's fears that winter was already here, Greg Guillot, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston, said warmer weather was on the horizon.
"Temperatures are obviously going to warm up from [Monday] to the upper 50s and lower 60s until the weekend," Guillot said Monday. "Over the weekend, you're going to see temperatures in the upper 60s and even the lower 70s on Saturday and Sunday."
Using data from the Climate Prediction Center, a branch of NWS, Guillot said the mid region of the Mountain State may have a mild winter, temperature wise.
"At this point, there is a better chance - and I say 'chance' intentionally - of above normal temperatures," Guillot said. "All the way into spring, there's generally going to be a better chance of above normal temperatures." Precipitation levels look average, according to the CPC's six-month outlook, he added.
The weather had no effect on public schools or government agencies because both were closed Monday for Columbus Day. However, low temperatures and a faulty heat system forced the Elkins Rotary Club to move its meeting from the YMCA to First United Methodist Church in order to keep Rotarians warm.

5 Ways It's Perfectly Fine to Harshly Judge Someone
Getting to know someone can take a long time. And frankly, who has the patience? This is the 21st century. We're all high-speed Internet and microwaves. But what if there were shortcuts? What if there were ways to get to know someone really well very quickly? Well, I'm here to tell you there are. (I'm also here because this is where I live. I pay rent and stuff, so where else would I be?)
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Hmm, I guess I'd rather be over in this place to tell you, but I digress.
Anyway, here are my techniques to really get to know someone as quickly as possible, whether it's a friend, a potential lover, or your boss. It's all right there for you!
#5. See Them at Their Worst
Have you heard the expression, "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best"? Then congratulations, because you know some awful people. That is just an absolutely awful thing to say, but it is actually very close to something helpful. A more instructive yardstick would be: You don't even know if you want to see someone at their best until you've seen them at their worst. Seeing someone at their worst helps you make an informed decision in the same way you ponder worst-case scenarios.
Do you have a friend who's generally amusing, but at his/her worst has the tendency to get drunk and wreck your apartment or punch you in the face or reveal all your secrets to your enemies? Or maybe they say the most cutting, damaging things they can think to say. Guess what? That worst-case scenario is a deal breaker. But what if someone else's worst is just some harsh words? Petty bickering. Well, if that's as bad as it gets, maybe they're worthy of a further commitment.
For example, let's say you've made a new friend and you want to get to know them better. Sure, you both love Rush's 2112 and hate Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime, but are you really meant to be BFFs?
Jupiterimages/BananaStock/Getty Images
You'll find that last sentence and more in Webster's Big Book of Terrible, Esoteric References.
Here's what you do. Invite them to lunch and very slowly stab them in the eye with a fork. I mean, wow, that's got to hurt, and holy cow, what kind of a dick would do that? But it's OK. Once the retina is reattached and the searing corneal pain ends, you and your new bud will have moved into a new area of trust and it will be worth it. Actually, that's a terrible idea, but I do know it honestly does say a lot about the content of someone's character if they can still not treat you too terribly when they're under duress, so I stand by my advice.
#4. They Say "All Is Fair in Love and War" as Rationalization for Bad Behavior
I've written a lot over the years about stupid expressions. This one expression, however, never really pissed me off until I thought about how (in its use today) it's nearly impossible to say or believe it without being morally bankrupt. If you know someone who enjoys regaling you with this phrase, take two giant steps back. Then grab the rubber mallet you keep 4 feet behind you at all times, take two giant steps forward, and beat them to death with it.
Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.net
Conventional hammers work too.
Let's think about what this phrase means. We'll start with war, which, as most people agree, is pretty awful. Why? Because it is a source of death and destruction, and, as the phrase indicates, despite Geneva Conventions and whatnot, there are no rules in war. The only rule is to win despite all the death and destruction it requires. OK.
Next, this expression equates love with war. Now, that is not necessarily problematic. After all, the point of the phrase is to say that this emotion we call "love" can be as destructive as war. It can drive people to win at all costs. It's not a rationalization. What I'm talking about are the people who use this phrase today when they're unmoved by the inequities of the world. People who see bad behavior and just raise one eyebrow and offer, "Well, yeah, all's fair in love and war," as if that's fine.
"Did you hear the boss gave the promotion to his mistress?"
"Well, all's fair in love and war."
"That rich donor was moved to the front of the hospital's organ transplant list."
"Yeah, well all's fair in love and war."
If you encounter one of these people, try telling them something less generally horrible and more specific to them. You'll get a different reaction:
"Do you know that someone took your parking space?"
"Well, all's fair in ... wait, really? WHAT THE FUCK?!"
#3. They Make Telling Assumptions About You
Here's another way to get to know someone quickly: Watch how they treat you. Where are they defensive? I've found that, typically, people assume that their own worst qualities are present in others. Liars tend to think you're lying. Passive-aggressive people tend to think you have a hidden agenda. Cracked's own Felix Clay tends to think you have a puppy under your bed that you abuse sexually.
Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
So sometimes the best way to get to know someone quickly is to just be completely open and honest with them about what your agenda is and what you want. If you're being honest (and don't have a reputation for being dishonest) and they don't believe you, they're probably liars. If you're being clear and they keep waiting for your hidden ulterior motive, they're probably passive-aggressive types. And if you tell Cracked's Felix Clay that you don't sexually assault a tortured animal nightly and he goes, "Surrrrrre you don't," then please contact the authorities immediately.

Ian Cuttler Sala Identified as Victim in Fatal Car Crash Involving Salma Hayek's Brother
The Los Angeles County Coroner released Cuttler Sala's identity Tuesday after notifying his family in Mexico the previous evening, Coroner's Lt. Fred Corral tells PEOPLE.
"It's sad – he died even though he was wearing a seat belt," said Corral. He added that Cuttler Sala, 43, a New York City resident, apparently died from multiple blunt force trauma, and an autopsy was scheduled to begin shortly.
Corral says Sami Hayek was apparently speeding along Sunset Boulevard near UCLA on Sunday afternoon when he lost control of his 2006 Ford GT and swerved into oncoming traffic, crashing into a pickup truck. Both Hayek and the pickup driver sustained broken bones and other injuries.
The LAPD says it has not yet determined whether Hayek was speeding.
Cuttler Sala's website features artistic images of models. It says that, while at Sony Music NY, he worked on "visual campaigns for artists such as Beyoncé, Ricky Martin, Billy Joel, Mariah Carey, Julio Iglesias, Marc Anthony and Destiny's Child."
He won a Grammy in 2006 for best art direction for the "Johnny Cash: The Legend" box set. The site says that he "left a successful nine-year career… to become a full-time photographer," and that his photography clients have included Converse, 7UP, Pfizer, and many magazines including GQ Mexico, GQ Germany and Maxim.

EAST LIVERPOOL - The Columbiana County Port Authority is being asked to relocate to Lisbon and become part of a new office building county commissioners want to construct on the site where the former welfare office currently stands.
Commissioner Tim Weigle attended Monday's port authority board meeting and asked them to consider relocating to Lisbon as part of the plan, and in return commissioners would forgive $373,000 the port authority owes them.
"We're extending that offer to you," he said.
The offer appeared to catch Port Authority Chief Executive Officer Tracy Drake by surprise. "It's something we'll talk about and consider," Drake said, adding that while consolidating operations under the same roof as the county development department makes sense, he is concerned the move might shift the port authority's "chief focus" away from developing the Ohio River corridor.
While that may be the port authority's original purpose when created in the late 1970s, it has evolved into a de facto county-wide economic development agency, creating and operating industrial parks in Leetonia and Wellsville and helping with projects in Leetonia, Columbiana and Salem.
Commissioners plan to demolish the former welfare office building in downtown Lisbon, which was vacated last year when the Department of Job and Family Services relocated to the new county government services building. Weigle said commissioners are considering building a new office complex on the site and moving the development department there.
"If you know where our development office is now, it's pretty small," he told the board.
Weigle said it makes sense to have the development department and port authority under the same roof since they are both working toward the same goal of creating jobs through development. "Everything could be in one office, where we can all work together," he said.
The port authority offices are in the former Patterson Industries building. Last October Weigle questioned whether it was worth continuing to repair the 100-year-old structure because of deterioration problems a study estimated would cost $300,000 to address. Drake went ahead and
spent $92,00 to repair a crumbling section of brick wall.
As part of the offer, commissioners would forgive $373,000 loaned to the port authority as part of the financial package for the B-Telecom project at the Leetonia industrial park. The contract with B-Telecom was later canceled when the company failed to fulfill its obligations, and a new IT firm was hired in its place.
Weigle said they intend to redevelop the property regardless of whether the port authority comes along, although the size would depend on the board's decision. "We just don't want to leave a vacant hole in the middle of Lisbon," he said.
Board President Charlie Presley asked Weigle to provide them with a timetable on when they plan to act and how soon they would need a reply.

Zesty Herbed Rice Pilaf RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 3 5
The zesty flavor of onion is great with the crunch of celery in this light dish. It's a tasty side dish for a holiday meal. I sometimes add chopped shrimp, chicken or beef to make it into a one-dish meal.
- 2 cups uncooked long grain rice
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- In a large skillet, saute the rice, celery and onion in butter until the rice is lightly browned and the vegetables are tender.
- Spoon into a greased 2-qt. casserole. Combine all the remaining ingredients; pour over rice mixture. Cover and bake at 325° for 50 minutes or until rice is tender. Yield: 8 servings.

Simply the best browser out there. It will make you wonder why you ever used IE.
Why are you still using that outdated piece of crap IE when you can use Firefox?
от Frogbutt 30 ноември 2004
An awesome web browser from Mozilla. It was originally derived from Mozilla's (Seamonkey) code, but now has plenty of coding of its own. It supports W3C's standards and is quite secure. Best of all, it doesn't have support for Microsoft's security hole (read: gate for hackers to enter your computer) known as ActiveX, nor does it have most of the problems Internet Explorer has.
Mozilla will pay anyone $500 bucks for volunteering to fix security holes in its software, which is free (yes, as in speech, but also as in beer). That's pretty generous.

Incredibly good browser overflowing with useful features from the good folks at Mozilla. Tabbed browsing, a near-impenetrable popup blocker and general awesomeness compounded by the fact that you can add just about any feature you want using Firefox's plugin support make for a browser that simply trounces anything else.
The only flaw is the name. They ought to call it Firebox because that'd be seriously awesome.

BEAVER SPRINGS - Radio ads from nearly a decade ago spurred Paula Pheasant to take a leave of absence from her job and embark on a Mercy Ship mission.
When Pheasant was a West Snyder High School student, she said she heard minute-long radio ads titled "Mercy Minute," which quickly detailed the story of a patient the program had healed. Although this was before she decided to go to Cedarville University for nursing, she was determined to become involved with the program.
"Hearing those stories just kind of gripped me," she said. "It became one of my life dreams."

Submitted photo
Paula Pheasant, of Beaver Springs, plans to leave in January to serve on the Africa Mercy Ship as a nurse.
After she earned her nursing degree in Ohio, Pheasant moved back to Pennsylvania to work as a a nurse in the special care unit at Geisinger. Having over three years of experience as a practicing nurse - more than the required minimum of two years - Pheasant decided to act upon her dream, and applied in February to be a ward nurse with Mercy Ships. She anxiously awaited a response, questioning if there was any reason she would not be accepted.
Once she received confirmation, she approached her boss to request a leave of absence.
"It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be," recalled Pheasant. She filled out the necessary paperwork explaining what she wanted to do in her time away, and the year-long leave of absence was approved.
Between her acceptance in March 2011 and her upcoming departure in January , Pheasant has been hard at work raising $15,000 needed for her year-long endeavor. Part of this money will go toward her crew fees, which is the equivalent of her room and board on the ship, as well as her flights.
She said she has raised money through contributions from the Beaver Springs Rotary Club, various area churches, family and friends. Her home church, Community Mennonite Church in Milton, is among those that have pledged to donate a specific amount each month towards her service. She is just $1,200 away from her desired goal.
While Pheasant has been preparing for the past ten months, she still has more to do before she can board the Africa Mercy Ship. On Jan. 7, she will fly to Lindale, Texas, to start a five-week training course. Then, she will fly with the entire team of volunteers to Africa for two-and-a-half weeks of field service training, before they can board the boat. While some of this training will be like a classroom setting, with books to read and assignments, the majority of it will focus on how to prepare for the cultural differences.
Not only will Pheasant be living in Africa, but the team of volunteers she will be living and working with are from all over the world. By March 2, Pheasant will move onto the ship and begin her job as a ward nurse.
For the first few months of her term, she will be docked in Togo. Then in mid-July they will sail to Guinea, where she will finish her time with the Christian organization.
As Pheasant has been prepping herself for this year abroad physically and mentally, she said she also has been strengthening herself spiritually. The verse she is using on her prayer card is Psalm 82:3-4: "Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; free them from the hand of the wicked."
Pheasant is looking forward to serving the poor in Africa, yet admitted she has had some anxious moments. She said her biggest challenge will be the long time away from her family, friends and coworkers.
So Paula won't feel so far away from her loved ones, her mother purchased several plain pillow cases and have everyone sign them with fabric pens. Not only will it remind Paula of all those who are thinking of her, but it is a lightweight, practical gift. She also believes it will be a bit of a struggle to adjust living with people from so many different cultures. While Pheasant has gone to Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria on vacation, she has never done missions abroad before.
The Mercy Ship's motto is "To provide hope and healing to the world's forgotten poor." The Africa Mercy ship is the only floating hospital in existence, and can hold about 100 patients, and has room for 450-480 crew members at one time. According to the Mercy Ship website, they provide free surgery and medical care for those who have tumours, congenital abnormalities, cleft lip and cleft palate, burns, cataracts, or corneal growths. They also provide care for those who have suffered injuries from childbirth, war or work accidents.
Pheasant said the program appeals to her because "they make the lame walk, and the blind see just like Jesus did. They just happen to do it in a different way than he had."
Pheasant will be a ward nurse, which means she will take care of the patients after they have had surgery, but before they are well enough to return home. To contribute to her Mercy Ship fund, visit paulasjourneytoafrica.blogspot.com.

The transport system Mobiler used by Rail Cargo Austria (RCA) allows the transport by rail to any destination, even places that lack a railway connection. No special infrastructure, like a terminal or a crane, is needed to load the containers from the train onto a truck. At the end of the railway, the container is loaded directly by the truck and the transport continues.
In order to make the system more flexible, German company Sirch GmbH & Co. KG has developed a container for the transport of both bulk and general cargo.
"RCA required a lightweight container that could be entered from all sides", says Markus Sirch, managing partner of the company. "The challenge was to make the container light despite the extra doors."
The solution was high-tensile Domex steel for the floor beams and the floor steel sheet and Docol for the side walls. This made each and every container one ton lighter."Mobiler meets the highest environmental standards since more transport can be handled by rail," Markus Sirch says. "With this ultralight container, a typical train can take up to 30 tons more per trip, which adds another great advantage from an environmental perspective."
At RCA, 20 of the special Mobiler containers are already successfully in use. At Sirch, this kind of container is now part of the regular product range.

A crappy whiney band with no talent. They tend to repeat a line over and over again if they can't think of another lyric. They threaten to kill themselves over teenage relationships! They aren't guitarists, any beginner can bash a few power chords. No diversity to lyrics, and horrible influence on our youth, soon enough the trendy little emo kids, and also the teenage girls that this music is marketed towards, will begin killing themselves over failed teenage relationships. Overall a damper on music and society.
Emo kid: I learned how to play a Taking Back Sunday song!
Me: Congrats you are officially crappy at guitar!

Football Wins 31-24 Over Toledo to Improve to 4-1
MUNCIE, Ind. -- Ball State's football team tallied a 31-24 victory over Mid-American Conference West Division rival Toledo Saturday in Scheumann Stadium to improve to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in league play. The Rockets fall to 2-3 on the year and 1-1 in conference action.
"We told the guys two things Sunday -- one was we had a home game this week and number two was we needed to go out and have a good Tuesday practice," third-year head coach Pete Lembo says. "We had a decent week of preparation. We have guys practicing harder with a little more focus, a little more detail and a little more sense of urgency. Usually what you see out on the field is a byproduct of that. "
This marks Ball State's first 2-0 league start since 2008, and a seventh straight league win dating back to the 2012 season.
"We came out and started really strong on both sides of the ball," Lembo says. "We did some good things on special teams early in the game. We tackled really well, especially in the first half. They leaned on us a little bit in the second half but it was still pretty good keeping things in front of us."
After opening the game with a two-yard Jahwan Edwards touchdown run, Ball State becomes the only team in the country to score a touchdown on its opening drive in all five games this season. Edwards added another rushing TD in the second quarter to give Ball State a 17-10 lead over Toledo, and a third score with three minutes remaining in the game for a three touchdown game and a 31-24 Ball State advantage. It marked the seventh career multiple TD game for Edwards and his fifth career game with three scores.
In a game that came down to the fourth quarter, Toledo tied the game 17-17 with 14:56 to play when Terrance Owens threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Alonzo Russell.
Ball State answered quickly to take the lead after Wenning ran the ball in for seven yards to put the Cardinals back on top 24-17 with 12:11 to play in the game. The Rockets quickly scored again to knot the game at 24-24 at the 6:20 mark, but Ball State would march down the field allowing Edwards to run in a four yard game winning score with 3:01 left on the clock.
We wanted to win the fourth quarter because we knew we would be in a really tight game," Lembo says. "We were able to get some really good kickoff returns in the second half after a bunch of touchbacks. We had a lot of big conversions. It just seemed like our receivers did a nice job of getting to the sticks, knowing when they were at the sticks and then going down."
Wenning enjoyed his fifth straight 300-yard plus passing game of the season and became just the second Ball State player ever to surpass 9,000 yards in total offense for a career. Wenning completed 27-of-38 passes for 335 yards and is one of only two Football Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks in the country to record five 300-yard passing games this season.
Edwards rushed for 89 yards on 20 carries with three scores, while Horactio Bangs managed 50 yards on 10 rushes. Wenning added one rushing touchdown on the day.
Jamill Smith led the Cardinals with 11 receptions for 99 yards, while Willie Snead added seven catches for 131 yards. Jordan Williams managed six catches for 92 yards for Ball State.
Defensively, Brian Jones led the Cardinals with 13 tackles, while Ben Ingle managed 11 tackles. Kenneth Lee added eight tackles with one sack and one interception, while Jonathan Newsome tallied seven tackles and one forced fumble. Zack Ryan tallied seven tackles and one fumble recovery on the day.
The Cardinals travel to Virginia Saturday for its last non-conference contest of the season. The game will kickoff at noon in Scott Stadium. The Cardinals will return to Scheumann Stadium, Oct. 19 for homecoming game against Kent State beginning at 3 p.m.

Penn State has lost another football recruit in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex scandal and subsequent firing of longtime coach Joe Paterno.
J.P. Holtz, the jumbo athlete from Shaler, informed Penn State interim coach Tom Bradley earlier this week that he was going to reopen his recruitment, Scout.com's Bob Lichtenfels reported on Thursday afternoon. Holtz is a prospect who could project to play tight end, fullback or linebacker at the next level.
Holtz appeared to be on the verge of decommitting in interviews immediately after Paterno's firing. He since has visited Purdue and has scheduled a visit to Pitt.
In an interview with Scout.com, Holtz said he would still consider Penn State if Bradley was hired as the Nittany Lions head coach.
Holtz is the third player to decommit since Paterno's firing. Four-star Colorado guard Joey O'Connor was the first, followed by Mechanicsburg linebacker Bryton Barr. Barr was coming to Penn State as an invited walk-on but received a scholarship offer from Cincinnati around the time the Sandusky scandal broke.
O'Connor has left the door open to return to Penn State's class - according to an Internet report, O'Connor was expecting visits from several college coaches this month but only scheduled a meeting with the Nittany Lions' Bill Kenney this week as he prepared to play in a state championship game.

Toyota was the first to bring out a mass market hybrid all the way back in 1997. The Prius, which made its way to our shores in 2000, remains the most popular hybrid in the world. But Toyota knows that can't last forever, and an all-new Prius is now in the works. Recently, Motor Trend spoke with an anonymous source from Toyota on the subject of what to expect from the next generation of Toyota's big-volume hybrid, and here's what is rumored to be in the works.
The most important thing about the new Prius is that it will have a completely new hybrid drivetrain. The new THS (Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive) will be radically different from the current system. This is partly because there is so much competition from other manufacturers using similar systems that if Toyota wants to maintain its sales lead, it will have to bring out a car which is as big a game changer as the original Prius. Not only is Toyota facing competition from Honda and the Civic Hybrid (which on paper is largely identical to the Prius), but many of the patents on Toyota's current hybrid system will expire in 2013, and by then competition is really expected to heat up.
This is why Toyota's original plans called for a new Prius in 2014, although economic factors have pushed that back to 2015. The new THS is now essentially complete, but what remains is for Toyota to design the car to use it. The drivetrain and the rest of the car are being designed by two different departments, so the rest of the car was on hold until the THS design was complete. This is why news is only just coming out that Toyota is mulling a new look for the Prius, because they haven't been able to being work until now.
Toyota and its subsidiaries have sold more than 4 million hybrids over the last 15 years, far more than any other company. This is not only because their technology is good, but also because Toyota understands the business side of hybrids better than anyone. They know how to make consumers excited about the new technology, and the new Prius will not only be more technologically advanced, but we'd bet that it will also be an even bigger sales success.

Fire destroyed a century-old Lancaster County mansion Friday evening. The three-story Gammache mansion on New Holland Avenue in Manheim Township caught fire around 4:30 p.m.
Firefighters let it burn itself out because the building was vacant and scheduled to be demolished.
Firefighters say the cause of the fire may never be known.
"We think it could have been kids inside, squatters or something that lit it on fire. Was it intentional? Probably not, but we'll never know from our perspective," said Chief Mike Elliott of Neffsville Fire Company.
A new charter home development is slated to take its place.

What a difference a day makes.
During a 24-hour period last week, The Shield went from being the most dominant faction in pro wrestling to a fragmented unit with the surprise heel turn of Seth Rollins.
One night after The Shield (Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns) dominated Evolution at WWE's Payback pay-per-view, eliminating all three members without losing a man,
the tables were turned on Raw.
When a disgruntled Batista announced that he was leaving Evolution, it appeared that the feud between the two groups had taken a decided turn. Only Triple H and Randy Orton remained to go up against the seemingly unified Shield.
But at the conclusion of Monday night's show, Rollins turned on his partners, walloping Ambrose and Reigns with a chair, before joining Triple H and Orton as an apparent third member of Evolution.
Rollins' act of betrayal caught many insiders by surprise, with the consensus being there was still plenty of gas left in the tank for the rogue faction, and that the swerve may have come a bit too soon.
And with his dark charisma and commanding presence behind a microphone, the unpredictable Ambrose might have been a better choice in a heel role alongside Evolution.
Mick Foley once described him as being "disturbingly poetic in his style and movements," while Jim Ross saw traits of Roddy Piper and the late Brian Pillman in Ambrose.
Rollins, though, is more athletic and will likely fill in as the workhorse for his new team.
The next step in the dissolution of The Shield appears to be the eventual singles push of Reigns, who many feel could be in the main-event picture at next year's Wrestlemania. The current plan is for Reigns to collide with Triple H at Summer Slam.
Before that happens, though, there is some business to take care of at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view June 29 in Boston where members of the two factions will undoubtedly lock horns once again.
And if Rollins' new allegiance with Evolution doesn't fare as well as expected, the creative staff could always have him set up his new partners and rejoin the Hounds of Justice.
Batista gone
Batista, whose much ballyhooed return to WWE was nothing short of disappointing, is gone for the foreseeable future, off to promote his summer action flick "Guardians of the Galaxy," the 10th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise.
With the movie release set for Aug. 1, it's a good bet that Batista will return to WWE in time for a match at Summer Slam and in time to hype the movie.
The film stars Batista (Dave Bautista) as Drax the Destroyer, Chris Pratt as Star-Lord and Zoe Saldana as Gamora. Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close and Benicio del Toro round out the cast, while Vin Diesel provides the voice of Groot.
Third generation
Bo Dallas (Taylor Michael Rotunda) is the latest member of the Blackjack Mulligan (Bob Windham) dynasty to make a splash in the wrestling business.
The third-generation performer is the brother of Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda), the son of former wrestling star Mike Rotunda and the grandson of Mulligan. His uncles are Barry and Kendall Windham.
Taylor was a highly touted linebacker and qualified for the state wrestling championships his final two years of high school at Hernando (Fla.) High in 2008. When a scholarship offer for football fell through, he turned his attention to the ring.
Older brother Windham won a state wrestling championship as a heavyweight at Hernando High and earned a football scholarship to Troy University.
The two brothers, under the names Duke and Bo Rotundo, teamed in FCW, WWE's developmental territory at the time, and held the tag-team title there. Duke Rotundo (Windham Rotunda) later changed his name to Husky Harris before hitting it big as Bray Wyatt.
Lesnar vs. Bryan
The current plan is to pit Brock Lesnar against Daniel Bryan for the world title at Summer Slam.
That is, of course, if Bryan's rehab from neck surgery goes as smoothly as WWE hopes.
It was reported, however, that Bryan has suffered a snag in the process that could threaten his planned comeback at the Money in the Bank PPV in three weeks.
If Bryan is a no-go for that show, where he is scheduled to battle Kane in a stretcher match, the title could be put on the line in a MITB match.
Big Time Wrestling
Kudos to promoter Steve Perkins for putting on a quality show last weekend at the Charleston Area Convention Center.
Although the Big Time Wrestling event drew little over a thousand fans, considerably less than similar shows Perkins promoted in Spartanburg and in Virginia, the effort was well received by those in attendance.
The card featured WWE Hall of Famers Ric Flair, Ted DiBiase and Jimmy Valiant who, at age 71, is marking his 50th year in the business and wrestled on the show. Former WWE tag-team champs Jeff and Matt Hardy also made a rare tag appearance.
Perkins says he is looking to book another show in the Sumter area and hasn't ruled out a return to the Lowcountry.

George Galloway scored a dramatic victory in the Bradford West by-election, securing a 10,000-plus majority in what he called a "massive rejection" of mainstream parties.
He claimed the result represented a "Bradford spring".
"By the Grace of God we have won the most sensational victory in British political history," the maverick Respect candidate wrote on Twitter as votes were counted.
Respect swept from fifth place at the 2010 general election to a commanding victory for the ex-Labour anti-war campaigner against his former party on a swing of 36.59%.
It was "the most sensational result in British by-election history bar none", he said on stage after being declared the victor with well over half the total votes.
The reverse is a serious blow for Labour which entered polling day as overwhelming favourite to retain the seat at the end of a fraught week for the Government.
Instead, it became the first Opposition party to slump to defeat in a mid-term poll since the Liberal Democrats took Romsey from the Tories in 2000.
Party sources pointed to a massive slump in the Conservative vote as evidence of the Government's unpopularity. The Liberal Democrats lost their deposit.
Labour today pledged to learn from the stunning defeat.
Its press team tweeted: "Extraordinary result for Galloway.
"Disappointing we didn't get enough support across BW but we'll learn lessons & fight hard to win it back."
Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman admitted today: "It is a very bad result, there's no denying it."
