The sound of clapping, laughter and smiles fill the courtroom and with that 14-month old Liza Sue now has a mom and dad, plus a 3-year-old brother and a 6-year-old sister.
Not to mention another brother on the way.
"We decided to become foster parents. we let our two biological children pray about it with us and they were part of the decision. so, they've been a part of loving her from the beginning. so, this is a big day for them too," Liza Sue's adopted mom, Lacy Yarborough said.
The Yarboroughs had just welcomed Liza Sue into their home...when they found out they were expecting another child in February.
"The day we found out, they told us that we would be able to adopt Liza this summer and that evening we found out we were pregnant. so we kind of went from 2 to 4 in one day," Lacy said.
The path to adoption all started when they decided to foster children in need of a home.
"We became foster parents and through the foster system we realized that we needed to adopt this girl and we felt the Lord leading us," Luke Yarborough said.
A path that included the whole family including the feels and emotions of their biological children.
"It's awesome because you wonder how your kids will respond and they've been great they treat her like a sister and all the good and bad that goes with that but it's great to see that and see them except her and also our extended family," Luke said.
The entire family showing little Liza the Gift of Love.
"Finally making Liza a real part of our family forever," Lacy said.
The Yarboroughs say they plan to adopt again. It's just a matter a time.
If you'd like to know more about other East Texas children available for adoption call our Gift of Love Hotline, toll-free, 1-888-KIDS-275.

PENSACOLA BEACH: You have to look hard and talk to the locals if you want to know about the BP oil spill 10 months ago. There are few signs of the disaster in the heart of Pensacola Beach, where business owners, tourism officials and hoteliers are focusing on the future.
It's one of the newest hotels on Pensacola Beach, a four-star luxury resort with a popular name attached to it.
But even that couldn't help the gulf-front hotel. They opened July 1st, right in the middle of the oil spill.
"We were very traumatized by it. It was like impending doom coming," said Joe McCay, Operations Manager, Margaritaville Beach Hotel.
Tar balls washed up on Pensacola Beach in mid-June. Two weeks later an oil sheen came ashore just yards from the Margaritaville Beach Hotel.
"Of course when the oil came in, the locals didn't come out and the tourists stayed away," said McCay.
Hotels, local restaurants and beach shops were empty.
It was the worst possible time for a disaster to hit - June, July and August are the money making months for the area.
"For locals it was very disheartening," said Ed Schroeder, VP Tourism Development, Escambia County.
Schroeder says the oil spill did more damage to the local economy than a hurricane.
"This was different. It lasted 5 months. Didn't know how bad it might get," said Schroeder.
It was bad. Some local businesses are gone, others are open but struggling.
"It sure has hurt me. Ninety percent of my income comes from the summer months and I didn't have that income so I'm behind on some payments and it hurt my credit score," said business owner Fred Simmons.
Simmons owns four businesses on Pensacola Beach; vacation rentals, a hotel, a beach bar. He figures he's out $750,000.
"I've still got some problems. BP, Feinberg, Gulf Coast Claims Facility has only paid about a third of my claims," said Simmons.
The Gulf Coast Claims Facility has so far paid out nearly $1.4 billion to Florida businesses and individuals, but there are still about 100,000 people who have yet to see a dime.
Just this week Ken Feinberg announced a staff increase at claims offices in the hardest hit areas including the one in Pensacola.
Feinberg is also asking for patience
"Those who are truly unhappy and feel that they've got the run around or they haven't got a fair shake - please do not lose confidence in the process," said Feinberg.
That's tough for Simmons, who was one step from retirement last year.
"I had hoped to kick back before this happened, but it's going to be a while I'm afraid," said Simmons.
While some individuals on the beach are still waiting for their reimbursement checks - the county has received nearly $3 billion from BP. The money was used on marketing and advertising to promote the beaches.

Doctors were devastated to announce last week that their patient, an almost 4-year-old girl was once thought "cured" of HIV, was found to have detectable viral loads and lowered T-cell counts.
This week, a novel approach to infertility is announced, a new vaginal ring might be able to protect from HIV transmission, and the answer to preventing drug-resistant gonorrhea may be in our own immune systems.
Do we do more harm than good when we bandy about the word "cure" in a case like this?
There's been much talk this week about the "miracle cure" of a child with HIV. But what about the unjust health-care system that failed her mother?
When it comes to making sure taxpayer-funded AIDS programs are comprehensive and designed to deliver the most effective interventions for people in need, the Obama administration's track record has not been good.
For too many, accessing health care is a challenge. Integrating reproductive health and HIV/AIDS services–providing both services under one roof–makes it easier for women to get what they need.
Sexual Health Roundup: HIV Vaccine May Be a Decade Away and Men May Have to Choose Between Baldness and Erections
Scientists now believe an HIV-vaccine that works could be just ten years away; the state of Georgia is adopting a "treatment as prevention" strategy; and the popular anti-baldness medicine, Propecia, has been found to have sexual side effects that last long after men stop taking the drug.
It is critical that the barriers facing women in relation to accessing supportive peri-natal services are fully understood and addressed including structural drivers such as poverty, gender-based violence from partners, in-laws and neighbours, and property and inheritance rights loss. If we do not address these issues, we can not "save the babies."
Greece has been in the news for prosecuting HIV positive sex workers and posting the women's photographs on the Internet. The Greek health authorities and many other governments and local authorities that have taken similar actions against sex workers have both the human rights and the public health very wrong.
HIV-positive women—like all women worldwide—have the right to decide when and if to have children. At a minimum, non-biased pregnancy options counseling and referrals to safe abortion and/or post-abortion care services should be part of comprehensive SRH services provided to HIV-positive (and all) women.

---- — While it may not have been the state championship they hoped for entering the weekend, the IHSAA Girls Golf State Finals were still extremely successful for the Zionsville girls golf team. Shooting a two-day total of 639 (322-317), the Eagles placed third overall — their best finish in school history. "It is the best we have finished in the state tournament and I could not be more proud of them," Zionsville head coach Jeff Anderson said. "We had a rough start of it Saturday morning, and the girls collected themselves and knew they had to turn it on for the back nine. And they showed up." Carmel won the state title with a state record two-day total of 604. Penn placed second with a total of 631. Anderson said all season long that he had a three-year plan for this team when they entered their sophomore years. It worked out pretty well. "It worked out really well," Anderson said. "Congratulations first off to Carmel, they played amazing golf and they were untouchable this weekend. Penn was the standard bearer all season and to finish behind those quality of programs — we are honored to do it. We will take that for sure." The Eagles started the tournament off with a 322 on Friday, good enough for third place. Zionsville was just two shots behind Penn and 18 behind Carmel. While 18 shots back may seem like a lot, Anderson said they believed they still had a good chance. For more of this story, read Tuesday's Lebanon Reporter.

Bellingham Elfrida School pupils are 'world's best spellers' in Mencap competition
Updated 8:55am Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A LEWISHAM primary school's craze for spelling could see them crowned champions of the whole world in a top competition.
There's a real buzz around Elfrida School in Elfrida Crescent, Bellingham, where youngsters are winging their way towards victory in the charity Mencap's online spelling contest.
The competition sees 670 primary and secondary schools race for first prize.
Children from across the nation plus countries like Italy, Spain and Thailand may be taking part, but its the 275 Elfrida pupils who lead the field with 251,188 correct spellings since they started the programme in November.
One of their many talented pupils, Year 5 pupil Joseph Zmuda already tops the individual tables having correctly spelled an astonishing 34,639 words.
Teaching assistant Clair Ross said: "Joseph's top in the country, and I can even say the world, because it's a global event."
The competition is hosted by a bee who is voiced by Stephen Fry, challenging children to practice spelling by playing interactive games, and be sponsored by friends and family, who can make an online donation to Mencap.
Misss Ross said: "It's been a huge thing for our school.
"If they get a spelling right, the pupils get so much satisfaction from it.
"I didn't expect this to take off like it has. It's just been tremendous."
The competition also sees pupils trying to raise as much money as possible for the charity - with the best fundraisers picking up a £10,000 prize.
Head of school Elizabeth Newton said: "The children of Elfrida have amazed and delighted me with their enthusiasm and commitment to this worthy cause.
"What a wonderful situation to be in - children enjoying improving their spelling whilst also raising essential funds for others with learning disabilities."
If you would like to donate, visit their Just Giving page.

make it happen says...
Do most children like spelling?...
Our pupils at Elfrida Primary are so enthusiastic and dedicated to Mencap's spellathon, they definitely deserve to win for their excellent efforts. Please, we need the Lewisham Borough to support and donate to us for our worthy cause. Any amount is gratefully appreciated. Thank you
Miss Ross

Texas A&M Aggies basketball coach Mark Turgeon will be the new head coach of the Maryland Terrapins, according to CBS Sports' Gary Parrish. Turgeon had reportedly received a Maryland contract offer earlier Monday afternoon, according to Andy Katz, and has been expected to accept it for a few hours now, according to Jeff Goodman.
He'll take over a program that's proved it can contend annually when it's at its best, as Gary Williams did for a solid decade that included a national championship. His first order of business: retaining what he can of Williams' final recruiting class, which includes at least two players who've said they plan to re-open their recruitment.
Turgeon isn't the biggest name Maryland could've landed, but he's among the most respected coaches remaining after the school made runs at Butler Bulldogs coach Brad Stevens, Notre Dame Fighting Irish coach Mike Brey and Arizona Wildcats coach Sean Miller over the weekend.
For more on the Maryland coaching search in the wake of Gary Williams' retirement, visit Testudo Times and SB Nation DC.

Nicht is an adverb, and so you will always find it either before or after a verb, adjective or fellow adverb. It usually precedes an adverb or an adjective, but likes to settle after conjugated verbs. (So think opposite of English)
Ich trinke nicht meine Limonade. (I'm not drinking my lemonade.)
Nicht and Declarative Sentences
On the other hand, nicht likes to travel all the way to the end of a sentence at times. This happens most often with declarative sentences.
Sie arbeitet nicht. (She is not working.) –> A sentence with just a subject and verb.
Er hilft mir nicht. (He doesn't help me.) -> A sentence with a direct object (mir).
The same applies with simple yes/no questions:
Gibt der Schüler dem Lehrer die Leseliste nicht? (Is the student not giving the reading list to the teacher?)
Nicht and Separable and Compound Verbs:
With verbs, nicht will bounce around a bit depending on the type of verb:
Wir gehen heute nicht einkaufen. (We are not going shopping today.)
Du sollst nicht schlafen. (You should not sleep.)
Du wirst jetzt nicht schlafen gehen. (You are not going to sleep now.)
Nicht and Adverbs of Time:
The adverbs of time that have a chronological logic to them, will usually be followed by nicht. These are adverbs such as : gestern (yesterday), heute (today), morgen (tomorrow), früher (earlier), später (later).
Sie ist gestern nicht mitgekommen.
(She did not come along yesterday.)
Contrarily, adverbs of time that do not have a chronological logic to them will be preceded by nicht.
Er wird nicht sofort kommen. (He will not come right away.)
With all other adverbs, nicht is usually positioned directly before them.
Simone fährt nicht langsam genug. (Simone doesn't drive slow enough.)
So in a nutshell...
Nicht will usually precede:
- adverbs of time that cannot be organized chronologically
- all other adverbs
- verbs
- separable verb prefix
- verb infinitives
- adjectives
- prepositional phrases
- Adverbs that can be organized chronologically

We invited six chicks to the party but two of them couldn't make it. We had four chicks.
The table was set up for "makeovers for four". I found those sweet mirrors and Dollarama and decorated them with a bow. Individual sponges and shadow applicators were put out along with individual mascara, eyeliner pencil, blush and lipgloss for hygenic reasons. Everybody took home their own makeup. I sprinkled Bare Minerals foundation powder onto everyone's plate so we could colour match for each skin tone.
Pepper brought her modeling portfolio out for the occasion last night. It is a major blast from the past to look at. She borrowed some of my totally radical wardrobe for her photo shoots back then. The girls loved looking through it. Totally 80's hair on Pepper! She sported the big earrings in a few shots but still looked so glam. She was a finalist for the Teen Great Model Search in 1983 and her page from the magazine got the girls so excited!
Yes, the flower arrangement stuff is from Christmas. I couldn't resist. Did I ever tell you about decorating an entire mall with candies and M&M's? Someday, I am sure you would love to hear how I turned 4000 paper bowls into hard chocolate candies. Some other day.
Someone had the bright idea to put makeup on Pepper and I too! We declined. Although at this point in the evening we decided that if any one of them was going to put makeup on us, it would be Alexandra. She's got mad makeup skills.
I set up The Secret Weapon's photography lights in the living room. The girls finished their makeup and lounged eating candies while we readied the photo shoot. Pepper gave everyone instructions on how to pose for the camera.
Candy bonanza! Also, little paper games and quizzes downloaded from the 13 going on 30 website.
Umm... by the way, there's still lots of candy left. How much candy can four teenage girls eat in one sitting? Lots. I still had too much, of course.
Razzles! We had to have Razzles! First it's candy, then it's gum. The Fan ran out and found Razzles before the party. Everyone tried to get a "razzle red" mouth.
My goodness, we were thrilled with these shots! We were especially digging the hat shots, for our cover shot purposes. The lights were pretty hot so everyone got lots of turns in front of the camera. This also let everybody switch out hats and accessories, of which I had many scattered out.
We easily had two or three seriously great shots of each girl. Here are the finished covers:
Alexandra looks great in her glasses and this hat. She looks so much like her mother in this picture. We went to high school together, we were both cheerleaders. Just another way this party took us all back in time!
Okay... how cute and funny is this? Alexis is the most shy girl of the group and easily she was the most comfortable in front of the camera! Pepper and I were like, "you are a natural!" She totally worked it! Check out her intese gaze!
Like her mother before her, Macy is a natural too. We had loads to pick from. She also had a brown hat picture we should have used. I'm totally printing it for her. Our goal was to have a different hat on each cover but we got mixed up. I thought Alexis had the brown hat... but her brown hat pictures were awesome, too!
The birthday girl was the only one who required a PhotoShop touch-up to her makeup. She is a real Flinchy Flincherson when she tries to use mascara. But a little flick of the mouse, and voila!
Time for cake! Cupcakes, that is. With hot pink frosting and lime green sprinkles, of course. Did I ever tell you how much I love the Wilton cupcake tree?
We serve the cupcakes and cotton candy ice cream on heart-candy plates. The girls drink milk out of peppermint candy glasses. The milk gets minty. They are starting to overload on sweets and at this point they ask for vegetables. I am not making this part up. We give them carrot sticks.
Present time! Loopy opens Teen Vogue and a gift certificate for MAC Cosmetics from Alexandra. She is thrilled. How perfect for our theme! You did know that MAC is a Canadian company, didn't you?
From Alexis, Loopy gets a gift card at Lululemon. The girls are all mad for Lulu. It's a Canadian company too, by the way. She still has some gift cards from Christmas so she's ready to do some serious shopping.
Ooooh, cozy! Macy brings soft, cuddly Ugg booties with pompoms on them. We need them in this weather! Pepper has hers on all the time, so does Macy.

Michigan State Police troopers were called to investigate an attempted carjacking on Tuesday in the Kroger parking lot on Corunna Road near I-75.
The victim, a 44-year-old Flint woman, told troopers she was seated in her vehicle when a black man entered the passenger side, brandished a knife and told her to drive. Complying with the suspect's demands, the victim drove through several side streets before turning south on Barney Avenue from Corunna Road.
The woman told investigators the suspect told her to stop and get out. As she exited the vehicle, a struggle broke out over her purse. During the struggle, the victim accelerated and the man fell from the partially opened passenger door. Police say the victim suffered only non-life-threatening injuries in the assault.
The suspect is described as black, standing 5'10" and weighing about 180 pounds. The victim described him as having a medium build, dark complexion with scruffy facial hair. He was last seen wearing a brown hat with ear flaps and a black, puffy jacket.
Anyone with information is urged to contact MSP trooper Rodgers at 810-733-5869.

When I post an image to help answer a question,
that image also shows up on my profile. How can
I keep them off of my profile page and still have
them in the forum?
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can't remove them, but you make them
invisible to others by marking them as Private:
Profile Page » view images for... » Image Options ▼ Check All,
and then to Image Options ▼ Make All Checked Images Private.
When you're inserting a new image in a post,
there is a checkbox option for "Hide (Private)".
All in all, it's a good thing because if you ever
have to post an image again, you can pull it
from the archive. I've done that a few times.
Thanks CADastrophe.
Okay I "can't".
Yeah I knew about the private.
Can't organize my images the way I'd like. That's interesting.
But probably not worth anyone reprogramming the software
over though.
Just out of curiosity, what exactly would you like to do to organize
them? I don't imagine that many users are browsing through those
archives. I've only gone to those to view the full-size version of an
image that was illegibly compressed within a post.
The issue:
"have to post an image again, you can pull it
from the archive."
The means:
"what exactly would you like to do to organize
The method:
Searchable image title archive.
The reason:
1800 posts, 300 images posted.
You've got a good point there - Right now,
I have 70 or so to dig through. It would be a
nice convenience to be able to list all of the
images by name instead of digging through
the thumbnail images, especially since the
Insert Image dialog only shows 4 of them at
a time. I would recognize any of my images
by their titles and/or file names.
As a tip: If you have a couple of images that
you reference and repost frequently or even
occasionally, you can set that image as one
of your Macros. And here is how you do it:
Start a New Message somewhere, anywhere.
Insert the desired image into this blank post.
Click on the "HTML" tab and select the HTML
code. Go to My Settings » Macros tab and
paste the code into one of the macro spaces.
Now you can easily insert that image using
the Macros pull-down no matter how buried
it gets in your archive. Hope this helps...
Very nice CADastrophe, thanks for the tip.
Apparently someone at Autodesk seen my concern about
my profile page getting the same images I post in the forum that
I didn't want to go to my profile, and they fixed it for me. Now when
I post an image in the forum, those images don't show up on my
profile page. Now I can have only the images I want on my profile.
Thank you whoever did that for me.

The North Face Verbera Lightpacker GTX
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 1
1-star: 0
Excellent fit and comfort, with interesting design.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: 100 pounds
Excellent fit and comfort, with interesting design. The traction is great, and the support around the ankle and heel are very good without being too stiff.
- Very comfortable
- Excellent grip
- Construction appears solid
- Looks are a little "out there"
Fit: Quoted to be narrow, but I found the fit excellent, and I have a wider than normal foot. Lacing system works well, never any uncomfortable pressure points.
Comfort: Did not require more than a few hours to adjust to them, and no real break-in time as you would expect from full leather walking boots. Fit was good so no chaffing, friction or pressure points, and boots are high enough to keep out debris. I have been dealing with a heel spur, and these are the only boots I have managed to do a full days hike in, and actually be able to walk relatively pain free after taking them off.
Support: The sole is quite stiff and the boot hugs the ankle and heel nicely.
Water resistance: As expected, it does keep outside water out, but the Gore-tex liner also keeps quite a bit of inside water from getting out.
Traction: So far traction appears to be excellent.
Construction and Durability: Initial impressions are very good. However, the previous poster mentioned durability issues after a while. I have not put on as many trail miles so I can't say what the longer term durability is. I do not expect them to be as good as a traditional leather boot, but it may well be that the user has gotten a lemon. I believe the TNF warranty will cover any material construction failure outside of normal wear and tear.
I will update my review after more miles
Conditions: hiking peak district (UK) and Brecon Beacons (Wales)
Wow, not even 100 trail miles and they are wearing…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $110
Wow, not even 100 trail miles and they are wearing out. I really had high hopes, but disappointed.
- Fit was great for my foot
- Rubber separating from cloth
- Soles are already wearing at less than 100 trail miles (less than a year)
When I saw these in a North Face store I fell in love with them. I tried them on, fit great, felt good. I did a couple Long backpacks with these boots and never felt any foot pain.
BUT here is what is so sad... they are wearing out much too quickly. Not that I have abused them either — maybe 80 miles have been trail and off trail (but nothing big) use and the soles are wearing out, and the rubber is pulling away from the tops.
I really liked these boots, kept my feet dry when it rained for 4 days straight on the trail, never a blister or hot spot. Too bad the quality is not what North Face should be known for.

The belt is adjustable for best containment of the bag on the hips.
When you need to not feel what you are carrying and when comfort is essential in outdoor conditions, catch your pack with the Airvent comfort, its channels for moisture management and its specific great padding will make your life easier. On big mountain models, some specific reinforcements increase the grip of the backpack which doesn't move in motion.

Supporting mobility and minimizing environmental impacts, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is installing pervious pavement systems at two park and ride lots in Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties. The new environmentally friendly pavement system supports Governor Martin O'Malley's Smart, Green and Growing initiative and will create 126 new spaces at the two popular lots. By using pervious drainage systems, SHA can limit the size of adjacent storm water treatment ponds and swales used to manage the water from the existing, impervious pavement.
"Incorporating pervious pavement systems in our park and ride lots allows us to increase ridesharing options without increasing the State's impervious surface area. The combination of reduced runoff and fewer vehicles on the roadway contributes to a greener Maryland," said SHA Administrator Melinda B. Peters. "As our park and ride lots become filled to capacity, we are anxious to expand the lots to better serve commuters and try this material at other locations."
Together with bio-swales and tree plantings, SHA is limiting runoff from entering the Chesapeake Bay via tributaries. Runoff contains nitrogen and phosphorus, which foster accelerated growth of algae blooms that deplete life giving oxygen to aquatic life.
Pervious pavement systems require extensive testing of the soil and grading of the area that requires drainage. Additionally, the overall system is built to withstand extremely heavy rain storms. The material is ideally suited for park and ride locations and is maintained using a vacuum truck to remove debris that can clog the porous material.
Southern Anne Arundel County
SHA is doubling parking at the park and ride lot along MD 794 (Southern Maryland Boulevard) just south of MD 408 (Mt. Zion Marlboro Road) near Wayson's Corner. Once complete, commuters will have access to 147 spaces, adding 76 spaces to the existing 71 space lot. The new lot will also contain bio-swales to filter runoff from existing non-pervious surface, as well as energy efficient Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting. Major work on the $800,000 project started in March and will be complete by spring 2015, weather permitting.
Northern Baltimore County
SHA is adding 50 additional spaces along I-83 at the MD 439 (Old York Road) Interchange, increasing the total to 121 spaces. The lot will also include a bio-swale for the existing non-pervious surface and overhead LED lights. SHA started the $888,000 construction in early April and will be complete by spring 2015, weather permitting. SHA awarded both projects to Concrete General, Inc. of Gaithersburg.

70 million father's are celebrating their day today with gifts that probably vary from homemade cards to ties to golf balls, but as Nancy Naeve Brown tells us a dad in Harrisburg got a gift from his daughter that saved his life.
Clayton Sonnenschein is no stranger to exercise. He either runs or bikes every morning. His routine has changed a bit though right now he is limited to riding a stationary bike inside at the Avera Heart Hospital. Clayton is in his first week of cardiac rehab after undergoing open heart surgery. Here's the thing though, he would have never known anything was wrong had he not gone through the Avera Heart Hospital's Planet Heart (Heart Screening); a present for Father's Day from his daughter Cindy.
"Originally, I wanted mom to do it and I decided it would be a good mother's day/father's day present because none of us are good about routine check ups and physicals," Cindy said.
"She didn't think she could get her mother to come in so she made an appointment for both of us and that's why I came in," Clayton said.
Ironically, Cindy's mom Sharon checked out just fine, but while Clayton was in the CT scan to check the calcium in his coronary arteries, the techs discovered something alarming.
"They came in with long faces and I said what's with the long face and she said you are in A-Fib so they immediately took steps to get me in to the ER," Clayton said.
In atrial fibrillation or A-Fib the upper part of the heart beats faster than the rest of the heart. Left untreated it could lead to congestive heart failure or heart attack. After further testing Clayton's Cardiologist Dr. Sean Halligan with North Central Heart discovered his A-Fib was the result of severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the walls of the aortic valve) and two days later he had his aortic valve replaced with a mechanical valve.
"To be honest, when Dr. Halligan called back and said he needed open heart surgery it was scary. It was the last thing you'd expect, Cindy said.
"That valve could have stuck shut and that would have been sleep time. So I've always enjoyed my kids and you can see why, "Clayton said.
"The whole process we think saved my husband's life, "Sharon said.
Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
"I've been raised in a great Christian family and God had a plan for us and this was it. He put me in a position to help my dad, "said Cindy tearing up.
"How can you love a daughter more than you already do, but I can her," Clayton said.
A Father's Day gift that keeps on giving because it keeps the most important man in Cindy's life around to see another day and another Father's day which none of Sonnenschiens will ever take for granted again.
Planet Heart costs $50. Vascular screening also costs $50. You can get both for a bargain price of $75. You can pick up a gift certificate at the Avera Heart Hospital or make an appointment by calling 605-977-7000

The End of Harry Potter "Hasn't Sunk In Yet" for Tom FeltonFelton
In a recent article Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) speaks about how though he's finished filming all the Harry Potter movies the fact that the series is over "hasn't sunk in yet" for him:
"'I was expecting this big emotional breakdown but instead the first AD (assistant director) got out the microphone and listed the names of people who it was their last day and forced the crew for a ripple of applause and then we walked off and that was it,' Tom revealed.
'The reason why it perhaps hasn't sunk in yet is because we always feel like we're going to be asked back for something or other, I'm sure it's not the last time we've seen those studios,' he laughed."In the article Felton also speaks about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park and how it might help the cast's "withdrawal symptoms" in the future.

Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens welcomes the Year of the Snake with vibrant and alluring floral designs created rich in Chinese tradition. Guests are invited to celebrate now until March 3.
The Conservatory uses the early practice of Feng Shui in designing its tranquil temple. Feng Shui is an art that uses surroundings to invite balance and harmony as well as positive life energy. Every garden in the Chinese New Year display includes water which ensures a positive flow of energy. Pine, plum and bamboo – three friends of winter, are also visible in the display which symbolizes perseverance, modesty, and integrity, respectively.
Welcoming the guests is the 8-foot-tall, custom-made, Chinese, money tree located at the entrance of the Conservatory. The bold centerpiece has 384 large, gold-leafed coins are attached to the branches as mounds of Chinese's traditional symbol for money- I-Ching coins, which surround the base of the luck tree. Two ding pots are located at the garden's edge. The ancestral vessels serve as a protection against the bad fortune. Burn the incense sticks from its peak to experience good luck.
A friendly King Cobra snake, with a height of nine feet, is covered in 5,000 yellow and blue luminescent scales. The snake is perched above the mound of gold coins which protects the good fortune and wealth for the coming year. A waterfall nearby gushes over Taihu Rocks which is believed to encourage the circulation of ch'i, the natural energy.
Inspired by the old-style 15th century fishing vessels, a 35-foot Chinese Junk Boat is added in the spectacular display of the exhibit. The 3,000-pound boat with a 38-foot mast is created from cedar, teak and mahogany that float in a pond full of over 200 Koi fish.
All six "lucky" children are embellished with 1,800 flowers which include spider mums, carnations and Fuji mums. The children dance and play near the Chinese-style pavilion bringing life to the display with oversized fire crackers that are hang above. Bad spirits and negative energy will definitely have a hard time entering as a zig-zag bridge is extended from both sides of the serene pavilion.
Celebration will be complete with the presence of music. The Las Vegas-based Beijing Trio will enhance the lively Conservatory setting with its traditional pop and folk music every day from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. The trio will use authentic Chinese instruments to accompany their performance.
According to legend, the cunning snake is the Asian zodiac's sixth animal that came when the 12 animals met Buddha on Chinese New Year. People born in the Year of the Snake are likely to be refined, enigmatic, introspective and intuitive.
Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens' Chinese New Year exhibit is on view until March 3, 2013 and will be open 24/7. The exhibit is complimentary to the public.

Murfreesboro police officers are on the scene where they say a mobile meth lab has been found inside a backpack.
A Zaxby's employee found the backpack near a trash can.
The restaurant on Old Fort Parkway remains open at this time, but police have an area next to the trash can taped off with crime scene tape.
Police say the backpack contains ingredients for making meth, including muratic acid, a 2-liter bottle vented with a hose and drain cleaner.
The meth task force has been called in and have rendered it safe.
Officials are working to dispose of the materials.

I have a IH 140 that I believe need a new transmission bearing and seal (27 and 25), it's for the transmission shaft (20) can't post photo that I got from Rudi.
I know that the tractor will have to be split but it appears that I might be able to get at the bearing and seal if I remove the retainer (28). Is that possable? Is the bearing pressed on the shaft?
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
Is this the page from Rudi?
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
Yes that's it. Do you know if you can get to the bearing?
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
No I don't about that bearing.
There are a bunch of guys like BigDog and David Bennet and Barnyard and may others that can do this stuff in there sleep. They should be able to help.
Give them a day to look over your message if no one reponds send them a PM.
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
David Bennett will be much more familiar with the 140. I'm gonna hope he can bail you out. I can't get the image large enough for my failing eyes to see the details and numbers.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
Been quite a while since I have been in one, but am about 98% certain it goes this way:
Remove the drive flange (30) then you can remove the retainer (28). The seal (27) will come off with the retainer. You knock the old seal out of the retainer after it is removed. Then you can get the bearing (25) out the front.
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
sorry for this one, this is one manual that I haven't resized the pics.. so it is going to be a bit on the large size.. as in size of pixels ..
It is from the purl=http://www.cleancomputes.com/Cub/Super%20A%20-%20Super%20AV/TC-39B%20Parts%20Catalog/index.html]TC-39B Parts Catalog[/url], on the Cub Manual Server..

Item #27 IH Part # 42 177D Oil Seal, Transmission Spline Shaft
Hope this helps..
This is one manual that will need to be resized for tne new format.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
I sent David a PM regarding our bearing problems.
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
Sorry for the late reply, I have the flue or some type of bug that has been a bit rough on me the past two days.
The 140 front bearing can be replaced without going too deep into the trans. Take the top off the trans and put it in two gears tp get the flange bolt loose[ the 140 unlike the cub had a 2 piece main shaft..If the front bearing is bad I would check the back bearing too. the top ones go bad before the bottom ones. Just use caution just like splitting a cub. 140 is just larger. chuck the front end so it want topel over You will need a bit of help as it is much heaver than a cub.
All others pay cash

Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
Thanks David,
what do you mean by "two gears tp"?
Hope your feeling better.
Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
I think he meant "two gears to get the flange bolt loose", speaking of moving the sliders on the top shaft to lock into two gears at once so you can remove the flange bolt (7/16 bolt on the end of shaft #20, not pictured) without the shaft moving on you. David, hope you're feeling better soon. I'm sitting here with laryngitis for the 2nd day, so I feel for you!

Re: Long Time reader First Time Poster
Stan and David
Happy New and I hope you, David, are feeling better.
I got the 140 split. Everyting went smooth except for the key. That was a pain.
I agree that the upper rear bearing should also be replaced.
Is that pressed in. How do I get it out?
It appears that a snap ring holds the back gear. Do I remove that and pull the shaft? Or do I remove the 90 degree pulley and pull it out through the rear of the trans??
Thanks for all your help.

This gal painted her shower frame oilrubbed bronze. Has anyone done this? She did not explain what type of paint she used or technique. The master bath in the house we are purchasing has this eyesore. I would love to do this technique an a shoestring budget. Anyone attempted this? Would love feedback. This will be on my must do list!
"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt"
I did a search on the topic and found several sites addressing this topic.mThis is one...
ha! i found the tutorial on You tube! wow!
Saving this here so I won't lose it. Labor of Love! But I'll check into just replacing the frame. See how valuable my time will be This message has been edited. Last edited by: rubyruby,
"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt"
rubyruby, I have two of those (brass-toned shower enclosures on tubs), and had also seen someone somewhere who had painted them. Although I haven't gone to the links posted, I could tell just by thinking about it that it would be very labor intensive. I think that basically they would have to be removed, taken apart, painted, and re-installed. I decided I'm not going to do that...for my own purposes I have just hidden them behind fabric shower curtains. However, in the next year or so we may be putting our house up for sale, and I am curious as to whether I should leave them alone (although I know they will be a huge turn-off for buyers), or remove them, which will leave a couple of holes in the tile. If I removed them, I would try to patch the holes as much as possible, but still it wouldn't be ideal. Any input on that?
i don't know Nitalynn....we are buying a house with outdated features at full asking price and the appliances are probably original to the house. No granite either. some people can see past the gold, some people cant. I am going to do as much updating of light fixtures and so forth on a budget. I will take on the shower frame painting. I am not working right now, and wont be working until I get our new home set up. I'll probably take off from working 6 months to a year.

I guess it just depends on the market. When we get closer, I will consult with a realtor about it.
Good luck on your projects, and be sure to show us pictures!
Labor intensive and not durable at all. One of the links mentioned painting a faucet. Bad idea! Water and cleansers will peel the finish right off.
Glad to hear you're making progress with your move-in and decorating, Ruby. Yes, that's a big job!
Nitalynn, for staging/updating purposes, it isn't the first project I recommend to sellers. You might want to take a few other factors into consideration, e.g. the market in your area when you're preparing to list, the strength of your competition and any other negative factors affecting your sale, e.g. bad location or proximity to commercial buildings, etc. If those situations exist, you may wish to have your home in pristine condition.
BTW, if your shower doors are also dated, you might consider replacing the entire unit as part of a minor bathroom update.
Good Luck!
My thoughts exactly. I just bought a resale house with the dreaded brass framed shower enclosure and the last thing I would do is repaint it. Replace it perhaps, but no DIY for me.
I watched the video and as soon as I saw the hazmat-type ventilator mask, I said fuggehdaboudit. Too dangerous and too much effort for meh results. (If you read her blog, she disavows any knowledge of how well her efforts have held up. Remember, she repainted her friend's bath, not her own.)
Eventually, we plan to do a minor budget-wise updating of the bath. I will embrace the brassy brassiness of my shower enclosure and pray that polished brass comes back into vogue soon.
Put yourself in a buyers position. Would you want to purchase a home where they had painted metal trim and fixtures? I would be very upset to find the finish flaking off on what I presumed to be a factory finish.
I am going to agree with those who say to leave the finish alone. Painting is a temporary quick fix, that will not be durable at all.
And I would not assume that brass is deplorable. Many people, me included, find brass just as valid as any other metal finish.
I know this is not my thread, but I want to thank those who are giving input to me as well as to rubyruby.
AguaBella - thanks for your input. I will definitely consider all the aspects.
Cocok - I totally agree with you, and your second paragraph. In fact, I am seeing brass and gold paint coming back. However, the "brass" enclosures that I have are the type that do the word brass a major disservice...cheapest looking "brass" finish imaginable. And I actually chose it (sight unseen) which is a long story, and for me to choose anything for my home sight unseen is unimaginable, but I was under pressure at the time. I consider it the biggest decorating mistake I have ever made.
IKWYM, Nita -- I've got the same exact one in my home. I, too, love brass finishes, just not that kind.
Although our shower doors were not brass framed we removed them due to the hassle of cleaning the track. We use an extra long vinyl curtain and the holes remain in the tile. Since our bathroom will be gutted soon, we lived with the holes. I believe you can remove the row of tile that includes the punctured ones and create a vertical
Border effect for minimal labor and materials and then replace the removed door with a pretty curtain.
I would not advise you try to paint over the brass either as this is a wet and well used area. The link I provided earlier suggested possible durable techniques, but I don't know if you read them.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Froo Froo,
If you remove the shower doors, it is pretty easy to fill those screw holes in tile so they are nearly invisible.
I mixed up some two part CLEAR epoxy, once I had a small amount of artist OIL paints mixed to the closest color match to the tile. (If you are not good at this, get an artist friend to help?)
Add some of the color matched oil paint to the fresh mixed epoxy, and over fill the screw holes slightly. Once the epoxy is mostly cured, take a new single blade razor and holding it flat, trim off any that is "proud/raised" of the hole. Done!
does anyone remember what Martha did to her brass fixtures? (light plate covers)she treated them with something that took the protection off so the brass would age and have a patina...now I know that can't happen on the shower as those aren't "real brass"...but if you have a vintage home??
Thank you, Conrad!
Nitalynn, This technique has worked great for several homes of friends too with just the right amount of surface gloss, from the epoxy. I do recall starting out with Titanium white tube oil paint and adding tiny amounts of other colors to get a perfect match. Nice thing about oils, is the color stays true even after it dries...not so with acrylics (which tend to change slightly).

Diagnosis of CdLS
The diagnosis of CdLS is primarily a clinical one based on signs and symptoms observed through an evaluation by a physician, including a medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests.
Although three separate gene mutations have been identified as causing CdLS, not every person tests positive for one of these gene changes. If you suspect your child has CdLS, a genetic specialist can help.

What Should I Wear?
You will get wet and muddy! We suggest you wear lightweight fast-drying clothing, gloves for enabling better grip on ropes and sneakers. We do not recommend you wear jewelry.

We encourage you to dress up (we may choose costume contest winners!), but please think of safety and comfort first.
What Should I Bring?
You will be wet and muddy at the end of the race. Depending on the temperature, you might be cold too! We recommend you bring a change of clothes, shoes and a towel.

CATEGORIES Reviews, Cinematical, Best and WorstIt goes without saying that we love movies. You don't work for places called "Moviefone" and "Cinematical" if you're not willing to chance a bad film every time you hit the cinema. So while we're loyal (and sometimes even charitable) moviegoers ... we're not fools. And we know a cinematic stinkpile when we see it. So with much chagrin and a small amount of snark, we put our movie minds together and came up with the worst of the worst.
In other words, lots of movies are good. Here are 15 of the other kind:
15.'Cop Out' -- "A comedy disaster like this one is far less fun than a drama -- like Willis' own 'Color of Night' -- or a sci-fi turkey like 'Battlefield Earth.' A disaster drama can be funny, but a disaster comedy is not." -- Jeffrey M. Anderson (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 29 positive / 125 negative = 19% -- Domestic Box Office: $44.8 million
14. 'The Wolfman' --"Despite all that production mess, 'The Wolfman' will either be seen as a squandered opportunity to pay homage to the golden years of Hollywood horror or a kick-in-the-pants bit of stupid, noisy fun. Both are true." --- John Gholson (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 66 positive / 133 negative = 33% -- Domestic Box Office: $61.9 million
13. 'Leap Year' -- "The fact that (Amy) Adams, through the sheer force of her feisty screen presence, almost makes this debacle tolerable is a testament to her talent. More resonant, however, is the disappointing realization that she agreed to make such an unfunny, dunderheaded comedy in the first place." -- Eric D. Snider (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 25 positive / 94 negative = 21% -- Domestic Box Office: $25.9 million
12. 'Yogi Bear' -- "Prevents Anna Faris from being funny, which I wouldn't have thought was possible. In a way, though, the film is faithful to the old cartoons, in that it's grating and tiresome and not suitable for anyone over the age of 4. The animation is better, though." -- Eric D. Snider (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 8 positive / 49 negative = 14% -- Domestic Box Office: $21.7 million(+)
11. 'The Back-Up Plan' -- "Yes, you will get to see (Jennifer) Lopez eat chili with her bare hands, but that's only half as disgusting as a close-up on a pregnancy test sinking into a pile of fresh dog vomit. A scene in which Robert Klein, playing Zoe's OB-GYN, shows off his blood-covered hands while repeating, 'Vagina! Vagina! Vagina!' won't have Judd Apatow losing any sleep." -- John Gholson (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 26 positive / 104 negative = 20% -- Domestic Box Office: $37.4 million
10. 'Legion' -- "The only people who can gain anything from it are the unscrupulous cinematic scroungers who have the time and the (lack of) will to watch whatever trash comes their way. Even if you think you normally fall into that category (I know I often do), skip this one. There are no hidden junkyard treasures here; just junk." -- Peter Hall (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 17 positive / 77 negative = 18% -- Domestic Box Office: $40.1 million
9. 'When in Rome' -- "Beth and Nick are supposed to have some sort of believable attraction, but it's impossible to build one if most of the movie is spent trying to duck a shirtless Dax Shepard. When they do try and get to know each other, it's through wooden monologues about magic and family and other supposedly character-developing details that just add to the jumble." -- Jenni Miller (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 16 positive / 86 negative = 16% -- Domestic Box Office: $32.6 million
8. 'Grown Ups' -- "This is usually the place in a review where one writes, 'but at least the actors all looked like they had fun making it,' except in this case they really don't. Everyone in 'Grown Ups' looks like they showed up, hit their marks, said their lines, and collected a paycheck. There's no real joy here, just a product churned out to sell tickets, and one that's destined to be forgotten in a few months by anyone who bothers to see it." -- Dawn Taylor (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 15 positive / 139 negative = 10% -- Domestic Box Office: $162 million (not a typo)
7. 'Valentine's Day' -- "Stay home and rent 'Love Actually,' or better yet, spend quality time with a loved one. I guarantee you'll learn more about relationships with a companion than you will by watching this movie, and best of all you'll have an enjoyable experience that doesn't require you to temper your enthusiasm before it even starts." -- Todd Gilchrist (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 30 positive / 143 negative = 17% -- Domestic Box Office: $110.4 million
6. 'Clash of the Titans' -- "Does the new 'Titans' have a slightly bland lead actor? Yup. Does it have pacing issues in Act I and a small sense of confusion when it comes to keeping the peripheral characters involved? Indeed it does on both counts. Is the dialogue often pulpy and are the characters frequently a bit goofy? (Especially the Greek God characters?) Yes, yep, and absolutely on all counts." -- Scott Weinberg (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 65 positive / 167 negative = 28% -- Domestic Box Office: $163.2 million
5.'A Nightmare on Elm Street' -- "The nightmares are where (Samuel) Bayer would be expected to step up and assert his own vision. After all, this is the man who has made hundreds of stylish music videos and commercials, so he should know a thing or two about snappy visuals. The nightmares are ... er, fine." -- Peter Martin (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 20 positive / 136 negative = 13% -- Domestic Box Office: $63 million
4. 'The Bounty Hunter' -- "Unfortunately, (Jennifer) Aniston and (Gerard) Butler stay firmly in their prescribed roles-- burly, slightly dim-witted man versus smart, exasperated woman -- until the last third of the movie, when the ice begins to break between their two characters and they try, in a shallow, rom-com sorta way, to figure out what went wrong in their marriage." -- Jenni Miller (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 9 positive / 114 negative = 7% -- Domestic Box Office: $67 million
3. 'Sex and the City 2' -- "Besides clocking in at a bloated 146 minutes, 'Sex and the City 2' is more about the opulence of their vacation and their wardrobes than the dialogue between women that won the HBO show so many loyal viewers." -- Jenni Miller (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 30 positive / 162 negative = 16% -- Domestic Box Office: $95.3 million
2. 'The Last Airbender' -- "(M. Night) Shyamalan's oppressive, self-serious direction help(s) to create a summertime adventure that's frigid and unenjoyable, almost on purpose." -- Todd Gilchrist (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 10 positive / 155 negative = 6% -- Domestic Box Office: $131.6 million(!)
1. 'Jonah Hex' -- "A jumbled mess of poorly-assembled images; you can't tell who's doing what to whom, it's just sound and fury, gunshots and explosions, accompanied by the heavy metal guitar-heavy power-chording of the musical score by Marco Beltrami and Mastodon, and then it's over and someone is running away and bodies are everywhere." -- Peter Martin (full review) -- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 19 positive / 123 negative = 13% -- Domestic Box Office: $10.5 million
(Special thanks to Rotten Tomatoes and Box Office Mojo for making this painful assignment a whole lot easier.)

Texarkana, Texas Police are investigating the city's first homicide of the year. The crime occurred over the weekend, and police say it is a result of domestic violence.
Police say Lela Cason, 26, and Daniel Bourg, 31, were together as a couple for nine years, but that relationship ended on Sunday. The two were found dead inside their home from apparent gunshot wounds.
"Based on the evidence at the scene, Mr. Bourg had, in fact, shot Miss Cason one time, and then turned the gun on himself," says Texarkana Police Sgt. Steve Shelley.
There were four children, ages 10 months to 9 years, inside the home at the time.
The oldest child is being credited with taking the children to safety and calling 911. Police say the 9-year-old apparently witnessed the incident.
"He is a remarkable young man. I hope he is not scarred for life," family member Lu Sepulveda says.
Neighbor Jason Smith says the boy "told me that his father was collecting guns, and he shot his mommy and he shot himself."
Smith says that he and other neighbors are praising the boy's actions.
"I believe myself he is a brave little boy to do all that on his own," Smith says.
Police say the children were taken to child protective services. The bodies of Cason and Bourg have been sent to Dallas for autopsies.

The No. 10 Ohio St. Buckeyes barely escaped Evanston, Ill., with a victory over the Northwestern Wildcats, but they did to the tune of a 75-73 victory. It was a far cry from the double-digit leads the team had throughout the game.
The Wildcats were down, 73-70 with 47 seconds left on the clock, but Alex Marcotullio came up big time with a 24-foot three-pointer to tie the game at 73. That was with 7.7 seconds left on the clock. The Buckeyes, countered, though, with an in-bounds pass from its own end of the court that wound up in the hands of Jared Sullinger, who nailed the game-winning layup on an assist from Aaron Craft. John Shurna attempted one last heave-ho, but it fell short.
Sullinger led Ohio State with 22 points and 18 rebounds while Deshaun Thomas added 19 points and 10 rebounds. Aaron Craft's 14 points and Lenzelle Smith Jr.'s 12 points rounded out the double-digit scorers for the Buckeyes.
Drew Crawford put in 23 points for the Wildcats, one more point than Shurna's 22. The team lost the rebounding battle, 42-16, to Ohio State.
The Buckeyes (24-6) have alternated wins and losses in its last six games and will close out the regular season against the No. 5 Michigan St. Spartans on Sunday.

Here's a matchup to watch in the Week 16 game between New England and Buffalo:
Bills NT Kyle Williams vs. Patriots C Dan Koppen
For the most part this season, the Patriots have done a great job of keeping QB Tom Brady on his feet and not on the turf. That includes a string of five games in which the O-line allowed just three sacks (Weeks 8-12). But the veteran front has looked vulnerable of late, allowing three sacks in each of the last three games.
Now, the Patriots won all three of those games and have won six in a row. In fact, in their two losses, the Patriots allowed just one sack in each, so teams are not taking advantage when they get after Brady.
A weak spot seems to be up the middle, where 4-3 defensive tackles and 3-4 tackles are finding their way into the backfield past veteran C Dan Koppen and OGs Logan Mankins and Dan Connolly. The Pats' backs, BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead, can also take some blame if a DT gets to Brady.
Of the 24 sacks Brady has incurred, nine have come from defensive tackles, most recently being taken down twice by Packers NT B.J. Raji. One of those nine sacks came from the Bills' top D-lineman: Kyle Williams in Week Three.
Williams has five sacks this season, including two against the Steelers in Week 12. He got some high praise from Patriots head coach Bill Belichick: "Every time we play against him, every time I see him play, he's strong, he's quick (and) he's making plays in the backfield." On Sunday in Buffalo, Williams will be called upon to get after Brady in the Bills' attempt to slow down the Patriots' attack.
Koppen needs to win the point of attack with Williams and keep him in check from the snap. If Koppen needs to pick up a blitzer, it will be on the Patriots' backs to stop Williams. While teams have failed to translate sacks into empty drives for New England, the Bills could gain an advantage if they can force long downs by getting Brady down, and Williams is their best option to do so.
