Over the years, I've tried to teach my boys a good many things. I tried to teach them to work hard, play hard and always, always treat people with kindness. Lookin' at Jamie and Bobby now, I think most of it must've sunk in. But as all mothers know, you learn from your children, too. You have to learn when to step in and when to step back. When to give up and when to give in. I doubt that there is a harder role for a woman than being a mother. You just hope and pray that you're doing the right thing by your children. And you don't know if you're doin' a good job until it's too late—when they're already off raising families of their own. But being a mother is one of the most rewarding experiences, too. Especially when your children grow into people you admire and respect. I find a lot of peace in that.
I've done a lot in my life; I've raised a family, started a business and made quite a name for myself. But y'all, there is just nothing better in this world than seeing your children build a family of their own. Jamie is the most incredible father. I just sit in amazement and watch him with little Jack. I don't know where he learned his parenting skills, but he and Brooke are a wonderful team. I go to bed every night and I know that the last thing I have to do is worry about Jack because he is in such good hands. And that is truly the way to enjoy a grandchild—to know that they are safe and protected.
So I have a lot to celebrate on Mother's Day. I look at my family, and feel real good about having a hand in creating this much love and happiness. And those feelings just keep growing along with the size of our family. Jamie and Brooke are expecting another baby boy any day now, and my beautiful step-daughter Michelle and her husband Daniel are expecting their first (also a boy) in July. Really, there is no better gift a grandmother could receive on Mother's Day, or any other day for that matter.
Still, it wouldn't be Mother's Day without my boys doing everything they can to remind me that they love me every bit as much as I love them. I'd be perfectly happy with a simple, handpicked bouquet of the most beautiful flowers, but they always try and come up with some sort of special gift. One of my favorite things they have given me is a concrete pineapple. Y'all, I have toted that thing with me no matter where I moved. It's in my yard now, sitting out there on the way to the dock house. It was such a thoughtful, considerate gift—and one that will last forever. Come to think of it, it might even make a decent headstone one day.
But I hope that's a long ways off. Like every mother out there, I've got a few more lessons to share, and probably one or two things I still have to learn. 'Cause that's the thing with motherhood—you never retire.Read More From Holidays and Entertaining.
Paula if u could see me, I have tears running down my face, (after teasing your Morhwrs Day response) from the wonderful relationship you have with your two wonderful Sons I too am blessed with a great relationship with my two sons(which I worked 3 jobs to support as I know you would have done the same). I've always admIred you but through the past few years I've come to realize we are two blessed Mama's. I raises my2 sons most of their lives & I'm blessed every day by the love they show me. I see that with you & your two sons. I too have taught my sons how to cook, I've been complimented many times that i'm the Oklahoma Paula Deen! What a Compliment!!!! I love to cook & blessed that my grandma & mama taught me to be a good cook. I'm teased quite often about more butter is better. I just want you to know I really Admire you and feel like I know you personally. You Rock Missy!!!(I do cook with your pans!) thanks for being such a positive loving romodel. God bless you & I'm praying you'll be able to stop smoking. I did & my sis so I know you will!!!! love you !!!! Jaymie Culver

Your message was wonderful about how being a Mother is truly the most rewarding and demanding job you will ever have. I have one son who is wonderful. It was he and I as he was growing up, his father wasn't around too much(his choice) so we grew up together. I love him dearly and I see what a wonderful father he is and I know in his mind he will be there for his son as I was and still am there for my son. I thank God every night for such a wonderful son/man he has become. PS Happy Mother's Day to you.
By Bonnie Trott on April 18, 2012
Dear Paula, i enjoyed and got interested in your life story as a mother. You really inspire me and give me more hope to be a good and best mother to my three kids though i am miles apart from them. I am supporting financially my kids alone since i broke up with their father long time ago. The only way i can provide their needs is to work abroad to earn enough but I will see to it that i will communicate with them everyday in any ways by phone, webcam or at least to drop a message in their FB or email them. I will give them the assurance and security of my love for them. My only worries is being away from them, they will not be guided in a proper way to adulthood but thanks to our God, I'm sooo proud everytime i will go home for vacation i can see and feel their love for me and how goodhearted and God fearing person they are. My everyday wish and prayer to our Almighty Father is to give my children the best life ahead of them because they deserve to be given a reward with all the sacrifices they have been through away from their parents. I love them with all my heart more than anything else in this world. By the way i will start to learn and cook your recipes so that i can cook new different meals for them on my next vacation. Thank you for sharing. By Jennie of Dubai, UAE

Paula, you are so much fun to watch. I love your relationship with your family. I want to visit your restaurant at Harrah's in Cheroke,NC. But back to Mother's Day....this year my daughter and husband bought me a set of the blue non-stick cookware. It is fantastic!!!!! I love to cook eggs and omlets in the little skillet because it is fun to just tip the pan and slid them out. I have had non-stick cookware before but they have never been this good. Thanks for creating this line. Oh, by the way, I told my hubby that I would rather have the cookware in stead of what he had in mine to buy. You've got to ask for the finer things in life! Love you girl! Nancy

I've been watching your show for years, but watching you and your boys together is the best. My son, 28 yrs., died ten years ago in a car accident. I was so very proud of him. He was in the Boarder Patrol for three years when he died. The love of our sons is something to behold. I hope you keep sharing your's because it makes me smile inside and out. God Bless you all and with much love and appreciation.

Dear Paula, You are such a special person. You're beautiful inside and out. You amaze me with your talent, love, words of thought, wisdom, and love. You are a great mother and grandmother, commedian, cook, commentator, and a great Southern lady, too. You are just what we need to perk up our lives. Happy Mother's Day to you. You also deserve it along with many other mothers on this Mother's Day. We were blessed with a boy and girl and now, with their families, God blessed us with five grandchildren (3 boys and 2 girls). The next step is the great-grandchldren added to the chain of events. Our first grandchild and her husband married a little over a year and half may fulfill that, (or the others still growing up may). We're waiting with great anticipation. My mother is 97 and is also waiting for her first great-great grandchild from my side. Mothers of all ages love their children and the grands, too. We never quit being Mothers! Have a great Mother's Day, too.

The Doctrines and Practices of the Church
Why Doesn't the Church Mention These Truths?
The term "anomalies" is referring to the unexplained absence of these obvious Bible realities in orthodox religious teachings. Even more anomalous is that fact that not only are these very important points ignored, the violation of many are practiced as church doctrine or condemned as sinful. It is a fact that even though these concepts are solidly based in scripture, the mere expression of some will get you labeled a heretic.
The subjects contained in this section are of a nature that have strong doctrinal implications. It should be again stated that this work has no affiliations with any religious organization. This area is intended to show that the mainstream church ignores more than just text in the Bible relating to the technological nature of the Elohiym. It also violates many other important Bible principles.
It may be assumed, by the content contained herein, that this is a direct attack on mainstream religion. For all practical purposes it is, but since the source is scripture, complaints and claims of heresy should be addressed to the one responsible for inspiring the authors of the Bible.
The church is ignoring some glaring realities, mainly that they are in direct violation of almost all biblical doctrine. In fact, we are hard pressed to find any biblical doctrine mainstream religion is actually following. How is this possible, for the church to proudly boast that Jesus is their Savior and head of their church, yet blatantly violate his doctrine? It seems Jesus has an answer:
Matthew 15: 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Here is what the church practices and teaches,
Why is such a work undertaken, and what is the value?
Church Symbols
What are the origins of the most prominent symbols used by the church?
The Tithe
Is it scripturally legal for the church to demand a percent of your yearly income?
The Tax Exempt Status of the Church
What is the justification for the churches being exempt from paying taxes?
Is Heaven a divine retirement home or something right here on Earth?
Is this a place of eternal fiery torture and damnation or a hole in the ground?
The Revelation
What is Beast, who is the Antichrist, and why does God seem to attack humanity, without warning?
Is faith a special gift from God or something you learn?
The Law
Does the Bible teach that you are required to follow any laws and if so which ones?
Is there a type of prayer that is condemned in the Bible? And is the church practicing that condemned form?
What is Salvation, what are you saved from, and how are you saved?
The Holy Spirit
Is the Holy Spirit a being and part of Holy Triad or the Force of God?
The Holy Days
Why does the church ignore the High Sabbaths of the Bible while observing the days and practices of ancient Pagan religions?
Women in the Bible
The status of women in history and modern times has been formed and
influenced in whole, or in great part, from the religious beliefs of
the times.
The questionable nature of time
Who actually did the creating according to Bible text?
The Flood
What really caused the flood and did it change the course of history in more ways than we are told?
Evil UFOs
Does the Bible teach that Satan will deceive mankind using flying vehicles?
The Beings of the Bible
Angels, devils, giants, cherubim, seraphim, elders, saints, watchers, and Hosts, the literal Army Of Yhovah.
The Nature Of Satan
Is Satan a UFO pilot trying to turn gullible sinners to alien worship, or is he working a little closer to home?
Demons, Devils and Evil Spirits
Are Demons minions of Satan or something altogether different?
Biblical Paranormal Evidence
How much of the Bible can be interpreted as paranormal and what is the difference between paranormal and miraculous?
The Occult Arts
Sorcery, astrology, familiar spirits, divination, and ghosts in the Bible.
The Biblical Bestiary: Cryptozoology
Dragons, Unicorns, Leviathans, Flying Fiery Serpents, and more.
Church Symbols
The many questions about the
integrity of the church extend well beyond its less than divinely
inspired origins. The very appearance the church presents to public
has its origin in the same manmade and pagan inspired concepts as
the foundations upon which it was established.
What's here and how to get there.

Americans Andy Roddick and John Isner, and world No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France highlight the field at the 2012 Winston-Salem Open beginning with qualifying Saturday and running through Aug. 25. Isner returns to the tournament as the defending champion after defeating Julien Benneteau in the 2011 final.
Tsonga will be Isner's biggest impediment to winning back-to-back title. The charismatic Frenchman, like Isner, made it to the quarterfinals at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London before bowing out of the competition. Tsonga lost to world No. 2 Novak Djokovic while Isner lost to No. 1 Roger Federer. Both lost in straight sets.
World No. 21 Alexandr Dolgopolov from Ukraine will be another interesting player to watch. The 22-year-old is known for big serves and daring shots, and will do his best to throw a wrench into the proceedings.
Television coverage begins Thursday. ESPN2 and the Tennis Channel will host coverage of the quarterfinals and semifinals, with CBS airing the final next Saturday beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET. You can learn more at the tournament's official site.

PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: Backstage With Manila Tarzan Star Dan Domenech
By Matthew Blank
Broadway's Dan Domenech (Rock of Ages) has taken a journey across the globe to star in the Manila production of Disney's Tarzan. As the show comes to a close, he shares some photos from backstage.
"How exciting it is to be in Manila with Disney's Tarzan," said Domenech. "Eight weeks of fun, family and a lot of monkey business! My journey started from NY, passed through Los Angeles, stopped in Tokyo and landed in Manila."
"A trip that has proven to be more than worth the distance traveled!"
Viva Atlantis Theatricals' production of Disney's Tarzan plays Manila's Meralco Theatre.
Based on the smash hit animated film and Edgar Rice Burrough's classic novel, the show "tells the story of a baby taken in and raised by a tribe of gorillas in West Africa. As Tarzan grows up, loved and cared for by his adoptive mother, Kala, he desires to gain acceptance from his father, Kerchak as he struggles with his uniqueness. Soon he meets Jane and their worlds are changed forever. Tarzan must decide to accept his identity and choose who his family is."
This well loved tale of high flying jungle adventures has been reimagined for the stage with a book by David Henry Hwang and the award winning songs of Phil Collins.
Swinging into Manila from New York is Dan Domenech. Last seen on Broadway as Drew in Rock of Ages, Domenech has also appeared on the hit musical TV series "Glee." Multi-awarded recording artist, TV host and actress, Rachelle Ann Go plays the role of Jane.The production is helmed by Chari Arespacochaga with choreography by Cecile Martinez.
Tarzan runs at the Meralco Theater from June 14 – July 7, 2013. For details, visit vivaatlantistheatricals.com.

Private Parts: At Basel's Beyeler Foundation, Jeff Koons Unveils, Explains New Work
Going by Adam Davidson's logic in his recent New York Times Magazine article—the art market is "a proxy for the fate of the superrich themselves"—fans of the 1 percent will be thrilled to hear that sales were full speed ahead at least week's Art Basel fair, despite Greece and Spain and myriad other global economic woes. One afternoon, an artist turned up outside the convention center with an unsanctioned artwork—a giant mousetrap poised to snap on a bunch of giant euros—and was swiftly removed by a bunch of guards, Masque of the Red Death-ishly.

There are new developments in the Amy Bishop Anderson lawsuit.
The judge granted a motion to have UA-Huntsville turn over thousands of emails and phone records, but it will not come cheap, and the school will not have to pay for it.
The plaintiffs in this case want to know if university officials knew Bishop Anderson was a serious threat before the shootings.
There are 60 UAH hard drives with information from October 2009 through February 11, 2010 - the day before the shootings that are sitting in a warehouse, and they will remain there until the plaintiffs pay a vendor to process the data.
The plaintiffs are the families of two of the three co-workers Bishop Anderson shot and killed in the Shelby Center.
Judge Ruth Ann Hall granted the plaintiffs' motion to compel UAH to turn over the computer data, but she also told the attorney for the family of Dr. Maria Ragland Davis that the plaintiffs would have to pay a reasonable price to get that information processed.
Bishop Anderson, her husband, and UAH provost Dr. Vistasp Karbhari are defendants, and the plaintiffs want emails and phone call logs. They are looking to find out if the provost, the university's former president, or any other school staff could foresee Bishop Anderson as a threat. They are looking for any calls made to security and any emails that referenced her.
Hall is giving the attorney's 30 days to come back with what they think is a reasonable price to pay. Hall said it could cost around $900,000 to process the computer data. She advised them that the processing costs could be reduced if they streamlined their search, using key words like "Bishop" or "security."

WEST POINT, KY (WAVE)- Life in the small town of West Point is getting back to normal, if you can call it that.
"It's going to take a little bit to just get back to the pace of everyday life," said Laura Schermerhorn, of West Point, whose family was evacuated.
Schermerhorn and her family are just one of the many families who are moving back into their homes after a P&L train derailed not far from her home as it was carrying hazardous chemicals. Her family was in the 1.2 mile evacuation zone. She said officials knocked on her door and they had 30 minutes to pack up and leave. She didn't even have time to finish making her children's lunches.
"It's been total chaos since, trying to take care of seven people in other people's households," she said.
Her family was staying with her mother.
"You're homesick you want your own bed back, for real," said Schermerhorn.
Then they moved to a hotel for two days in two rooms. The railroad gave her and many others vouchers for the rooms and reimbursed her for some expenses.
"Such a small community that you kind of feel like you're gonna get forgotten," she said. "But, they took care of us very well and I appreciate it so much."
Now, they are home for the first time in a week. But there's a lot of work to be done.
"It feels good," she said with a smile. "But it's gonna be a big process trying to get everything to the way we're used to living."
Not to mention the dishes and a mountain of laundry needing to be put away, washed and folded. Plus a new concern.
"I'm worried about the water situation," she said.
The Mayor Greg Fischer said the water is EPA tested and is safe. Schermerhorn also said she and her family now suffer from headaches. But she's at least glad to be almost rid of this headache of the train derailment. The Mayor also said after Dixie Highway is opened, representatives from the railroad will be around for a number of weeks to help residents with things like claims.

At 60, most people are researching retirement options, making plans for another chapter in their lives. Secondary school teacher Judy Craig Hartley, however, explored a new path within her profession by way of Virginia Tech's online Instructional Technology Master of Arts program.
"I enjoyed taking courses online and knew I had the discipline to do so," says the Giles County, Va., resident. "But as a full-time teacher, I didn't have the time or energy to drive across the mountain to pursue my degree on the Tech campus. So it was exciting to have the opportunity to earn a master's degree without compromising my daily teaching."
Even before graduating from the program, Hartley, who's a quick study in electronic environments, was hired by Giles County Public Schools as an instructional technology resource teacher. Hartley is one of thousands who have taken advantage of electronic education at Tech since 1995.
Guided by a holistic approach to education, "the institute has provided not only an engaging environment where Virginia Tech students and faculty can be successful but also a philosophy grounded in the belief that eLearning is an academic endeavor focused on teaching and learning, not teaching and money," says Tom Wilkinson, associate provost for distance learning and summer sessions and the primary author of the original proposal to establish the Institute for Distance and Distributed Learning.
Virginia Tech's investment in distance and distributed learning has yielded unprecedented opportunities. As barriers of time and place are overcome, students have a greater possibility of realizing their potential, while faculty members engage in research that transforms the educational experience.
Alumni continue to look to Virginia Tech for lifelong learning. This union of people and technology is a powerful combination that facilitates Virginia Tech's ability to fulfill its core missions of learning, discovery, and engagement.
The graduate certificate in liberal arts program celebrated its first three graduates last spring. Appropriately enough, in light of eLearning's international reach, the program was created in Finland by Virginia Tech professor of interdisciplinary studies Michael Saffle while he was serving as Bicentennial Fulbright Professor of American Studies.
After a phone call from his director requesting some ideas for an online graduate course in interdisciplinary studies — needed in 24 hours — Saffle strolled around Helsinki's harbor with his wife, Sue, an English professor at Virginia Tech, discussing ways to reach out to graduate students. After dinner, he returned to his office and created the syllabus for the nine-hour certificate program.
One of Virginia Tech's eLearning pioneers, Saffle, a 2007 recipient of the university's William E. Wine Teaching Award, first entered the online environment in 1997, when he learned that one of his summer humanities courses might not launch.
"It was either go online with the course or cancel it," he admits. "I hired a colleague who knew HTML to help me transform the course into 10 Web-based 'lectures' and 'worksheet' assignments."
The course was a success. The following summer, Saffle taught two sections; the next year, three.
In addition to its expansive offerings, the eLearning experience at Virginia Tech is a good fit for many students. Such was the case for Superior Court Judge Michael Clark of Lawrenceville, Ga., who, searching for courses to learn more about the circumstances preceding Sept. 11, was led to Virginia Tech's online graduate political science courses.
"I looked around for a program that offered an understanding of American foreign policy and could be pursued without interrupting my career and that would have minimal impact on my family and personal life," Clark explains. "The professors were well-informed, and classmates brought a tremendous range of experience and expertise to the class."
A recent eLearning undergraduate student, Claire Elpi, feels similarly. "The format of the courses was perfect," she notes. "It gave students the opportunity to have a choice in their studies, which I thought was a marvelous idea. As well as being a creative outlet, the course gave me a preview of what graduate school would be like, allowing me to enthusiastically prepare for my post-graduate studies and employment."
Instructional Technology Master of Arts graduate Hartley says that her Virginia Tech eLearning experience changed the face of her career.
"Obtaining my master's degree has met every professional expectation I could ever wish to have," Hartley says. "It has inspired me to continue working in the educational field well past the usual age of 65. I look forward to each day with a spring in my step and a smile on my face."

Thread: Thurman suspended for four games
07-13-2006, 10:03 PM #1Prophet Guest
Thurman suspended for four games
POSTED 4:53 p.m. EDT, July 13, 2006
Mike Florio
A league source tells us that Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman has been suspended four games for violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy.
The suspension helps to explain the team's surprising decision to select linebacker Ahmad Brooks in the third round of the Supplemental Draft. However, Brooks has had his own history with banned substances; he was once arrested for possession of marijuana, and Jason Cole reported for the Miami Herald last month that Brooks failed two drug tests while at the University of Virginia.
As to Thurman, word is that he is making a conscientious effort to rectify the problem. We're told that he wants to comply with the rules and to play football. With that said, a four-game suspension is imposed only after a player has progressed through several levels of the substance abuse program, which means that the problem has been around for a while. Here's hoping that he can get on the right track, because he definitely has the talent to be a force in the NFL.
The four-game suspension takes effect after the final preseason game on September 1 at Indianapolis. He'll miss games on September 10 at Kansas City, September 17 at home against the Browns, September 24 at Pittsburgh, and October 1 at home against the Patriots.

Detroit Lions starting running back Jahvid Best is out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a concussion, already his second of the 2011 NFL season. This has the Lions (5-1) concerned because the speedy Best has been an intricate part to their offensive success.
Head coach Jim Schwartz says Best will play when given medical clearance but given the severity of concussions, it's been in question whether Best could even return this season.
According to Detroit offensive co-ordinator Scott Linehan, the all-purpose back will return to action this season but optimism is expected from the coaching staff. As it stands, the second-year back out of Cal will be evaluated on a week to week basis.
At this point, having sustained multiple concussions on the year and yet to be halfway through the season, he should consider his future. Best will certainly want to be there for his teammates but it would be advisable for him to consider sitting the season. Elite players like Ed Reed have made it public that their health comes first, and Peyton Manning's status is a living example. Best could be a tremendous contributor to any NFL team, if he could manage to stay healthy.
In addition to Best's injury, his backup Jerome Harrison recently discovered a brain tumor that will remove him from this season. Detroit will be leaning on runningbacks Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams to get their ground game going, but neither have the athletic tools Best brings to Detroit.

Students from Head Start to eighth grade competed in wheel barrel racing, three-legged races, football toss, sack racing, an egg carry, medicine ball throw and many other activities. Seventh- and eighth-grade math teacher Kim Wilson, who is also a sponsor of the school's Beta Club, said the Relay For Life of Walker-Jasper contacted her at the beginning of the school year and asked if she and her students would be interested in participating in the school-related event.
"I thought it was a great way for our Beta Club to do some community service and show our kids at Lupton that they're never too young to support a cause," Wilson said. "It is an official Relay program that they're promoting, so it's for kids to be active and promote fundraising for cancer research and awareness."
Wilson said she and the other two club sponsors, junior high teachers Candice Alexander and Megan Bolton, sent flyers home with students that asked if the kids would like to have sponsors back them in the activities they completed Friday or if they would like to give a donation toward the American Cancer Society.
"I think the activities we have planned for today really show kids that they can get out and be active without any gimmicks or materials. We use mainly our bodies to be active the entire day, like wheel barrel racing only requires them moving and a sack, a football, etc., so minimal materials in order to stay active," Wilson said. "I think that's one of the most important things about putting on this Field Day Relay."
Activities were moved to the school's old gym because of the rain Friday. Wilson said they were scheduled to hold a balloon release as well "to honor and to remember those who have battled cancer," but she said they postponed it until Tuesday when the weather is forecasted to be nicer.
"It is our inaugural year, but it's been really fun and I hope we will continue it," Wilson said.
Students displayed their coordination skills as they competed in a three-legged race and laughed as they pushed their teammate in a wheel barrel race across the wooden gym floor. Assistant principal Chris Mc-Keever said events like Friday allow students a chance to help others in ways they may never dream of.
"I think it's important that the kids are aware of things outside of their normal area here. They need to be taking a vested interest in things going on around them and with this particular event, it affords them the opportunity to give back and to be a part of something bigger than themselves," Mc-Keever said. "They are able to realize that there are people that are affected by things that they need to be helped with. This is just one of the many things we do."

Mystery over copper plaques missing from Newport's Tredegar Park (From South Wales Argus)

Mystery over copper plaques missing from Newport's Tredegar Park
12:40pm Monday 17th September 2012 in News
MYSTERY surrounds the whereabouts of two commemorative plaques missing from the entrance of Newport's Tredegar Park.
The copper engravings were displayed at the gates on the Ebbw Bridge roundabout back in 1928 to mark the opening of the park to the public.
But recently, Argus reader Ian Brewer noticed they were missing and fears they were taken by metal thieves.
Newport council, which manages the park, has no idea where they are and was not aware they were missing.
Gwent Police also has no record of them being reported stolen.
The plaques were positioned on pillars which stand either side of a now permanently closed entrance gate.
One reads: "Presented to the Mayor and Corporation of Newport for the use of the public by the Rt. Hon Viscount Tredegar CBE and the Hon Evan Morgan for and during the life of the survivor of them."
The second states: "This park was opened on the 28th September 1928 by councillor Frank Quick, Mayor of Newport. Treharne Morgan, Town Clerk.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A yearlong investigation by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services has led to the licenses of 18 day care being revoked after allegations of fraud.
After the investigation the state stopped child care assistance payments to the following 13 child care providers:
The centers have 20 days to appeal the license revocation, if they fail to do so, they shut down. Ashley Jennings has a son that goes to A Alphabet Academy, she says, "unfortunately I don't have any other options until that happens. This is an awesome day care, everything is up to par obviously except whatever they're going through."
At one of the day care centers, Trina's Treehouse II on Cane Run Road, we talked to a day care worker who was there when the state dropped off the letter.
Day care employee: "We had called them and they said no, it's not that we are closing up, they just got a complaint and so they have to investigate."
Reporter: "Complaints of fraud?"
Day care employee: "That's what they say, but we have got all our paperwork and we have not done anything wrong."
According to state documents, investigators found that the center failed to keep proper records of the children they watch.
Day care employee: "They sent us a paper of correction of plan and we did that, because like we told the lady, we have nothing to hide."
Reporter: "What did they ask you do correct?"
Day care employee: "What are we doing about our sign-in sheets. That's what it is all about."
The employee said that as of Wednesday night they have made the necessary corrections.
"The people in there are very nice and I think they treat the kids right and they are teaching them a lot," said John Robinson, whose grandson attends Trina's Treehouse II.
The parents and guardians we talked to at Trina's Treehouse II only had positive things to say about the day care on and off camera.
"I hate for something like that to happen, because I really liked the daycare," said Robinson.
The cabinet says it will continue to aggressively crack down on child care providers, hoping to prevent financial fraud and abuse as they aim to raise the quality of child care.
These cases are very similar to the one levied against Lavonia Lewars who owned the now closed Heavenly Angels Day Care. In February, Lewars pled guilty to theft and fraud charges for getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the state of Kentucky for children who didn't actually attend her day care.
A Heavenly Angels van crashed last year, killing an adult monitor and sending more than dozen children to the hospital.

I met Annie and Dave back in the summertime in Windsor where they asked me to be their wedding photographer, and loved them immediately. Annie and her family are from Australia but settled over in the UK like myself. Their wedding was at the Alverbank Hotel in Gosport and we were blessed with incredible weather for the end of September. We managed to escape to the beach for a few wedding photos and although it was a little cold, we're glad we did. We also had a VIP guest at the wedding. See if you can spot him in the photos!
Here's the link for the Alverbank Hotel if you fancy a stay. http://www.alverbankhotel.co.uk
Congratulations to the happy couple. x
I met Matt and Martin over a year ago and they booked to look after their wedding photography. I was thrilled to have photographed their big day.
Matt and Martin married at Portmawr Country House in Crickhowell. It was another one of those jobs where I stayed in the area for a day or two before the wedding to have a good look about. The area is amazing and their venue was full of great wedding photo locations!
One of the things I love most about wedding photography is that I get to meet lovely couples and travel the UK doing what I love. I had a great time at their wedding and we still keep in touch.

Berkshire Wedding Photographer, 31 Down photography, photographed Sarah and Nicks wedding at the Bradfield College in Berkshire. It was our first visit to Bradfield College and it's an amazing wedding venue.
Friends and family travelled from all over the UK and all the way from South Africa for their lovely wedding and reception at Bradfield College.
It was a delight to photograph their wedding day. All their guests were in the mood for a good fun party and we ended up getting some great fun wedding photos.
Considering it was August, the weather was a little gloomy and a few showers interrupted the day. I'm pretty sure that no one was too bothered about the rain. The venue was a delight to photograph a wedding at with photo opportunities literally round every corner!
Congratulations to Sarah and Nick.

Budget Deal To Prohibit DC from Funding Abortions
by Charles Lemos, Sat Apr 09, 2011 at 07:15:03 PM EDT
The budget deal agreed to Friday night between Congressional leaders and brokered by the President to avert a government shutdown includes a provision banning the District of Columbia from spending its own funds to subsidize abortions for low-income women.
Specifically, the rider reads as follows:
Prohibits the District of Columbia from using its own, non-federal funds to pay for abortions beyond the very limited circumstances in which federal funds are currently available (in circumstances of rape or incest and to save the life of a pregnant woman). Sec. 1590.
Republicans also managed to retain a rider prohibiting the District of Columbia from using Federal funds for a syringe exchange program even though such programs have long been proven as a cost-effective means of preventing transmissions of deadly diseases. However, the GOP did find the necessary funds to restart the city's controversial school voucher program, the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program, that is really no more than a boondoggle for religious schools. The program has been a priority of House Speaker John Boehner, using Federal tax dollars to subsidize private-school tuition. Both DC Mayor Vince Gray and DC's non-voting Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton oppose the school voucher program.
It's pretty evident that GOP is captive to the interests of the Christian Right. Bill by bill and whenever they can, they inch us forward towards a theocracy.
UPDATE: Via Politico, the reaction of DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton to the riders concerning the District in the budget:
"This morning, District residents learned that the administration and Senate Democrats were willing to let the House Republicans treat them as second-class citizens," Norton wrote in a statement. "I am relieved that the bill did not include the national policy riders I abhorred. …However, this entire city of 600,000 taxpaying Americans has every reason to be angry that the administration and Senate Democrats did not draw a similar line in the sand that stopped at the District, and the self-governing rights of its citizens."

In Their Own Words
Dec 23, 2008
"The Taliban's continued terror attacks threaten the progress that has been made in Afghanistan. Today, Afghan women are attending school, running for political office, and serving as police officers. Afghanistan has more than 60 female judges and 400 female journalists. Women make up 28 percent of Afghanistan's parliament, and more than six million children – including two million girls – are now in school. The United States and our allies are working with the government of Afghanistan to build more schools where children can learn, open additional roads so that commerce can grow, and provide basic health care for the Afghan people. These cowardly and shameful acts are condemned by honorable people in the United States and around the world."
--- First Lady Laura Bush on the acid attacks on Afghanistan, November 13, 2008
"As long as one in three women and girls may be abused in their lifetimes, ending violence against women must be everyone's business… We thought that the more names we collected, the stronger our case to make ending violence against women a top priority for governments everywhere… A lot of [the Say NO to Violence Against Women] campaign is about trying to make it a part of our conversation, a part of the vernacular. I can use my voice to help their voices be heard."
--- Actress and UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman presenting a petition with five million signatures to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Associated Press, November 25, 2008
"One of the lessons of aid work in the last 20 years is that foreign assistance often won't work unless women are front and center. For example, educating boys has many benefits, but there's pretty good evidence that educating girls is even more effective – primarily because it does more to reduce the number of children in the next generation. Moreover, men already tend to be in the labor force, while educating girls and training them or giving them capital tends to encourage them to participate in the economy in ways that bring real benefits to the household and to the entire economy… Abundant research shows that when women get money, it's more likely to go to educate children or start small businesses."
--- Nicholas Kristof, "Women, Front and Center," New York Times, December 17, 2008

Groundbreaking Bill Integrates Teen Pregnancy & Violence Prevention
Jul 28th, 2011
The "Communities of Color Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Act" was introduced by U.S. Representative Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) and tomorrow by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), two long-time champions of efforts to reduce health disparities and violence among Latinos and other ethnic communities. The bill breaks ground as the first federal program to integrate teen dating violence prevention and teen pregnancy prevention, and in recognizing the need of racial or ethnic minority and immigrant communities for culturally appropriate information and education on these issues.
The US has the highest teen pregnancy rates of any developed nation. Each year close to 750,000 teens become pregnant, and 82% of those pregnancies are unplanned. The impact is dramatic in communities of color; in 2009 the teen birth rate for Latinas, African Americans and American Indians/Alaska Natives was more than double the teen birth rate of non-Hispanic Caucasians. Disparities in contraceptive use are closely connected to social and economic inequities in communities of color; for example, a Latina girl is three times more likely to be without health insurance than her white counterpart.
The number of teens facing violence and coercion is equally striking, with 1 in 4 adolescents reporting emotional, physical, or sexual violence each year. Adolescent girls in physically abusive relationships are three times more likely to become pregnant than non-abused girls.
The Communities of Color Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Act would:
- Fund teenage pregnancy prevention program interventions with a focus on supporting community-based organizations that are well-positioned to serve youth in ethnic and racial groups with the highest teen pregnancy rates have experienced barriers in accessing federal teen pregnancy prevention funding and can serve youth in ethnic and racial groups with the highest teen pregnancy rates;
- Fund multimedia public education and awareness about teen pregnancy and related social and emotional issues, such as violence prevention;
- Study factors that contribute to disproportionately high rates of teenage and unintended pregnancy in communities of color, and the role that violence and abuse play in the decisions young people make about relationships, sex, pregnancy, and childbearing.
The legislation has been advocated by the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, Futures Without Violence (formerly Family Violence Prevention Fund), and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.

Tags: Luis Scola
Tags: Luis Scola
Scola may not fit into the Suns' long-term plans but he's a great addition at a bargain price. I am really looking forward to watching the new Suns play this season.
Scola is so unathletic … Dudley is going to look like the Lord of the Dunks compared to Scola.
I also think Scola's lack of athleticism ought to preclude him playing C. He doesn't block shots, and he's not fast enough to keep up with a small ball group, either.
What he'll provide, I believe, is some essential veteran leadership, a role model in practices, and a scoring option close to the basket near the end of games when the pick and roll with Gortat isn't unfolding.
BTW, it's hard to believe the Suns have so many authentic bigs this season, with Morris, Scola, Frye, Gortat and O'Neal.
Scola's lack of athleticism precludes him from playing as a starting C. His strength and smarts makes him more than a match for most bench 5′s but I doubt he'll be called on to play the 5 in Phoenix much. He doesn't block shots but he does have good, quick hands that strips other players of the ball before they can get up a shot that he knows that he can't block or try to draw a charge while the other player is trying to get off a shot. Yes he's a flopper but this year he will be flopping for the Suns
I think he and Gortat will complement each other offensively. Perhaps not in the same games but when one is having a tough time inside then the other will be the go-to guy inside. Their inside strengths are so different that defending them both could be difficult for many teams. Then you also have Morris, Frye and O'Neal to bring in off the bench. The 4 and 5 positions for the Suns should be very solid this season.
At the point, so many people moan over the loss of Nash but Dragic, Telfair and Marshall should be a strong trio.
Beasley will be a weak defender at the 3 but should be a strong scorer. Johnson should be almost the exact opposite at the 3. Dudley falls somewhere in-between the two at the 3… a good scorer and a good defender but not great at either.
The 2 guard spot is where the Suns are really weak from a scoring point of view. Brown could be a great help there IF he can just learn to think about what he's doing before he does it. Everything I said about Dudley and Johnson playing at the 3 also goes for them playing at the 2. But there may also be times where Dragic shares the 1/2 position with Telfair or Marshall. That's another wild card the Suns have to play this year.
I've been keeping up with the ESPN player rankings this year and so far we have Frye at 191, Brown at 235, Morris at 238, Marshall at 296, Johnson at 322 and Telfair at 369. Unless everyone's gone crazy and rated Tucker in the top 180 – of course he was probably just left out of the balloting for the top 500 this year – that still leaves Beasley, Dragic, Dudley, Gortat, O'Neal and Scola to be ranked. There are 150 starting players in the NBA every season. The Suns should have at least 3 of those players starting for them this year AND at least 3 other players who rank just below the top 150. If all the new parts mesh together, I expect the Suns to be a much better team than all the "experts" seem to think they will be.
Scola brings his incredible flopping skills (which are accentuated by his flowing locks) to the Suns.
Scola was a great addition at a low price. When was the last time that the Suns had a hard nosed savvy player like Scola? He wont back down at all and those are the type of players we need
I totally understand that he isn't a shot blocking threat, but the video used had very poor examples. A couple clips there wasn't even an opportunity for him to try and half of them were him against Blake Griffin who is an athletic power player the exact opposite of Scola I bet they gave each other fits in those games. That said I thought the video showed that he is a solid defender that doesn't leave his feet so he is never going to jump then get burned leaving open path to basket. I think that makes his understanding of angles that much more valuable.
I agree with Ty-Sun. It's nice to have so many options. It's also nice to have a legitimate starting line-up, which I didn't think we had last year. We still need an upgrade at the two spot, but other than that we're pretty solid.
@ Mike Schmitz I like the music for the "How he won't help" segment. Nice. Thanks for putting these video analyses together.
another great video, Mike.
Are you going to do one on Dragic and Jermaine as well? Hope so. These are great for "field guides" this year- on what to expect.
Scola is a good player on a very reasonable contract. he may do well here and be a keeper for more than this year, depending on how the season goes. Since Gorat is so good on PnR, scola can sit just outside of the lane in his spots for 15′ shots, which is great. That'll give Goran and Gorat a great chance to use the two man game. This could actually work well.
Plus we have good defenders now at the 1, 2, 4, & 5 spots, with Beas potentially our only really weak spot. And if Turner can turn him into a reasonable defender, they could be good on that side of the ball.
This all gives me a somewhat higher expectation than I was thinking.
I really think how well the Suns do this season will depend on defense more than offense. We have more solid defenders this year than any recent year I can remember. No one expects Phoenix to play tough defense. I think that they can. But that also depends on the focus of the coaching staff. There are so many new players on this team this year that, even with a full training camp and preseason, they can't be completely ready before the season starts. But I think they should give at least equal time to developing the defense as they do to developing the offense.
Gortat just scored 27 pts and grabbed 21 boards in the EURO game vs Finland (which lasts only 40 min, not 48). Together with Scola they really could be one of the best frontcourts in the West!

USGA Announces Annual Service Award Winners(February 08, 2014)
Village of Pinehurst, NC (PRWEB) February 08, 2014
In celebration of the individuals who have given back to the game in extraordinary ways, the United States Golf Association (USGA) today presented its annual Service Awards during a gala dinner at the Pinehurst Resort & Country Club.
Hosted by Golf World senior writer and Golf Channel/NBC contributor Tim Rosaforte, this years USGA Service Awards celebrate the leadership, dedication and outstanding contributions of 21 individuals who have used their time and talents to serve and promote the game in many ways.
We are proud to bring the golf community together to celebrate the extraordinary work of each of our Service Award winners, said Thomas J. OToole Jr., USGA president. Their selfless dedication and contributions have made a significant impact on the USGA and our mission to serve the game. They have inspired us all to continue our work to sustain golf for future generations and we hope their efforts encourage many more people to participate in and serve this wonderful game.
As part of the USGA Service Awards, the following individuals were recognized:
Joe Dey Award
Presented annually since 1996, the USGA's Joe Dey Award recognizes an individuals meritorious service to the game as a volunteer. The award is named for the late Joseph C. Dey Jr., who served as USGA executive director for 35 years, from 1934-69, and was later the first commissioner of the PGA Tour.
The USGA is proud to honor Michael Cumberpatch, of Annapolis, Md., a tireless contributor to the game on local and national levels for 20 years, with the 2014 Joe Dey Award. Affiliated with the USGA since 1993, when he joined the Associations Regional Affairs Committee, he has worked at 20 USGA championships, including the U.S. Open, U.S. Senior Open, U.S. Mid-Amateur and Mens State Team Championships. He currently serves as the official-in-charge of U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying for the Washington, D.C. region.
To be honored like this is pretty special, and to be honest I was floored when I heard the news, said Cumberpatch. It has been a lot of fun over the years to work alongside all the volunteers throughout the USGA who do so much for the game of golf. They are just really good, solid people and to be associated with them and be part of so many great championships has meant a lot to me.
Beyond his dedication to the USGA and regional golf activities, Cumberpatch has provided extraordinary volunteer service to other organizations, including the Special Olympics and the U.S. Armed Forces. He is a past president of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, where he earned recognition for his efforts to bring together neighboring golf associations and for instilling a sense of community among USGA committee members in the region. The Middle Atlantic PGA Section presented him with the David Wortman Citizen of the Year Award in 2009.
Herbert Warren Wind Book Award
Established in 1987, the Herbert Warren Wind Book Award recognizes and honors outstanding contributions to golf literature while seeking to broaden the publics interest in, and knowledge of, the game of golf. Wind, who died in 2005, was the famed writer for The New Yorker and Sports Illustrated who coined the phrase Amen Corner at Augusta National. He is the only writer to win the Bob Jones Award, the USGAs highest honor.
Author Jeff Silvermans Merion: The Championship Story is the 2013 recipient of the USGAs Herbert Warren Wind Book Award. This extensively researched and carefully crafted book explores every aspect of one of the most respected and beloved clubs in the game. Merions successful hosting of the 2013 U.S. Open, 32 years after it last hosted the championship, was the final chapter in Silvermans work. The club has hosted more USGA championships (18) than any other, making it a rich subject for a work of this magnitude.
Its an honor beyond belief to win an award that is named after Herbert Warren Wind, said Silverman. For anyone who writes about golf, this is one of the ultimate achievements.
Added Silverman: Golf truly is the greatest crucible for testing character. All of the champions at Merion from Jones to Hogan to Trevino to Rose prevailed because they were able to pull from their inner strength.
Green Section Award
Presented annually since 1961, the USGA Green Section Award recognizes an individuals distinguished service to the game of golf through his or her work with turfgrass, including research, maintenance and other areas that positively impact the arena upon which golf is played.
The 2014 recipient is Dr. Peter Dernoeden, of Milton, Del., a nationally recognized turfgrass researcher and educator and professor emeritus of plant science and landscape architecture at the University of Marylands College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Over an extensive career, he led the design and management of turfgrass research programs focusing on weed and disease control, integrated pest management and sustainable fescue species.
In 1999, he was responsible for the discovery of a new pathogen and disease that affects creeping bentgrass. His work is widely recognized as having contributed significantly to the quality of turf on golf courses both regionally and nationally.
Ike Grainger Award
Established in 1995 as part of the USGAs Centennial Celebration, the Ike Grainger Award recognizes those volunteers who reach 25 years of service to the Association. Grainger served on the USGA Executive Committee and rose to become president from 1954-55.
This year 18 individuals earned the award for their distinguished service to the USGA:
Dr. Joseph Beditz; Jupiter, Fla., Bob Jones Award Committee
Donnie Bowers; Wilmington, N.C., Regional Affairs Committee
Steven M. Brinton; Salt Lake City, Utah, Mid-Amateur Championship Committee
Nancy Chaffee; Warren, R.I., Regional Affairs Committee
David Chalmers; Bryan, Texas, Green Section Committee
James Cissell; Cincinnati, Ohio, Public Links Championship Committee
J. Richard Dosek; Advance, N.C, Regional Affairs Committee
Michael Hughes; Daniel Island, S.C., Regional Associations Committee
Pasquale Pat LaRocca; Phoenix, Ariz, Regional Affairs Committee
Adele Lebow; Royersford, Pa., Regional Affairs Committee
Cathy Mant; McDonough, Ga., Girls' Junior Championship Committee
George Marucci Jr.; Villanova, Pa., Mid-Amateur Championship Committee
Louis Miller; Louisville, Ky., Green Section Committee
John Nakamura; Sacramento, Calif., Public Links & Regional Affairs Committees
Matt Pekarek; Glen Ellyn, Ill., Regional Affairs Committee
Randal Reed; Gaithersburg, Md., Regional Associations Committee
Douglas Smith; San Antonio, Texas, Mid-Amateur Championship Committee
Richard Woulfe; Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Mid-Amateur Championship Committee
This years class of Ike Grainger Award honorees comes from all walks of life and from every region of the country, said USGA Executive Director Mike Davis. For a quarter century, each has served the USGA and the game purely for the privilege of giving back. Our mission and the game are stronger because of their service, and we are proud to honor them in this way.
