Double standard for residency

You allege double standard without any proof, just that you learned... How can you be sure that this family you are talking about is here illegally? How can you be sure the school district knows?
It's not like illegals go about telling everyone they are illegal! How would you know?
on Aug 19, 2006 at 1:30 am
federal law prevents schools from asking parents or children about their immigration status so it's entirely possible that the district, fearing lawsuits, would take a "hands off" approach to those believed to be illegals. however, there's nothing stopping the district from hounding those who wouldn't fall into the illegal category.

Combined with the stupid refusal to sunset the Tinsley monstrosity, there is reason to turn the whole operation over to Mountain View.

In the construction business, perfection is hard to come by.
And if the thing that's being built isn't perfect, then someone
must decide whether it's "good enough."
Say you're looking at the kitchen you just installed and it
looks good enough to you, but the homeowner is complaining
about miters that aren't perfectly aligned, hinges that don't
line up, shelves that aren't level, and he doesn't like the
wood you chose.
How is good enough determined, especially when your customer
is demanding better? Is there some kind of law about
Yes, there is, but your legislature didn't sit down and write
it with you in mind. Sometime after the states adopted the
Uniform Commercial Code to regulate transactions between
retail sellers and their customers, the courts said, "Hey,
selling a house or a remodeling project is kind of like selling
a television or a pair of shoes, so let's apply the implied
warranties in the UCC to construction projects."
So through a process of legal evolution, the implied
warranties of the UCC became the standards for
evaluating the work in construction projects when no higher
standard is specified in the contract. Some states use
different names for these implied warranties, but they all
amount to the same two kinds of warranties: fitness-of-purpose
and workmanlike quality.
What's good enough is also affected by a variety of consumer
protection acts such as asbestos laws and financing
regulations, and it's affected by express warranties in your
contract. But, if you have conformed to all the consumer
protection laws and have not made any express warranties about
that kitchen you built, then the law of implied warranties will
determine if the construction of that kitchen is good
The implied warranty of fitness-of-purpose means that the
building is free from major structural defects and can be used
in the way it was intended to be used: It keeps the rain off.
It will not collapse in the first windstorm. The electricity is
hooked up and working so that people can do the things that
people do in modern houses. It has adequate water and a waste
supply that works so people don't have to use outdoor
facilities. (Think I'm kidding here? I'm not. I'm remembering a
particular lawsuit in which the plumbing stack hadn't been
This may all sound obvious, but these are the criteria that
the building inspectors use to issue an occupancy permit. The
occupancy permit is prima facie evidence that the
builder's work has met the warranty of fitness-for-purpose (or
warranty of habitability). What fitness-of-purpose means to you
as a builder is that you aren't done until your project can be
used in the way it was intended to be used. Fitness-of-purpose
does not require that the building be perfect.
The ugly cabinet wood you chose is not a violation of your
fitness-of-purpose warranty. Your customer cannot
successfully complain about that unless the contract
called for a particular type of wood.
are always
a fertile ground for customer complaints, but if certain
materials or brand models are not specified in the contract,
implied warranties don't give the customer a legal basis for a
complaint about your choices, so long as they will work for
their purpose. If the customer wanted something else, he should
have written that choice into the contract.
However, if, in that kitchen you built, the cupboard door
hinges don't line up, that can be a breach of your warranty of
fitness-of-purpose because that can make those cupboard doors
gap open. If your shelves aren't level enough to keep the
dishes from sliding, that's a breach of warranty, because
fitness-of-purpose requires that the dishes be safe on the
Remember, though, that not every problem is a warranty
problem. If those cabinets aren't in the right place, or there
aren't enough of them, that has nothing to do with warranties;
those are contract problems.
The second implied warranty states that the building or
addition or remodeling project has been built in a workmanlike
manner and is up to the community standard of quality. A
workmanlike manner is not necessarily your customer's standard
of quality. It does not mean perfect or better than average,
and sometimes it doesn't even mean as good as average.
It's what's considered good enough work in your community.
That may not be what's considered good enough someplace else.
Community means the surrounding geographic area.
So whether your miters are a breach of your implied warranty
to build in a workmanlike manner depends on what's considered
good enough work in your community. If most crew chiefs or site
superintendents in your area would tell you to do it over, then
the work isn't good enough. But if those crew chiefs or site
supers would accept it, it is good enough, even if it's a long
way from perfect.
This doesn't mean that there's only one standard of good
miters in your community. What your local builders or crew
chiefs would accept in a high-end house may not be what they
would accept in a commercial establishment or a less expensive
If a dispute about a building's quality actually went to
court, the builder's attorney would bring in local people with
construction experience, such as builders or crew chiefs, to
testify -- not to how good the building in question is but to
what the standards are for that kind of building in that
community. Then the jury or judge would decide whether the
building in question meets that standard.
Many customers want better than good enough. If they do, they
should write that higher standard into the contract, because
there is no implied warranty to do a better job than what's
locally acceptable.

text: As you may have already noticed, this so-called "best of" collection only contains material from Annihilator's first three studio albums (Alice In Hell, Never Neverland, and Set the World on Fire) along with a few choice live cuts form the live album In Command. This buy far is not a "complete" best of release. I highly recommend that if your going to get into Annihilator, just buy one of their albums. Go buy the Alice In Hell/Never, Neverland 2 pack by Roadrunner records instead of this. If you don't, you'll just be cheating yourself.

"SIT Cameroon opened my eyes to the wider world by opening my mind to countless aspects of thought and life in that amazing country. I have rarely been in a position to consider immensely meaningful issues in a comprehensive fashion through numerous lenses. The classes and research projects were among my most rigorous academic experiences."
-- Alexander Loughran Lamothe, University of New Hampshire
Examine social, economic, and political development patterns in one of West Africa's most ethnically and geographically diverse countries.
The program is based in Yaoundé, Cameroon's political capital. Students have access to cultural activities, academic resources, and many of the international development organizations headquartered in the city.
The program also spends extensive time in other regions of Cameroon. A two-week stay in the northern town of Ngaoundéré and excursions to western and coastal Cameroon give students insight into how social change is manifested in different regions. Learn more about the program's excursions.
In-country resources and program partners typically include:
- University of Dschang
- Community Research and Development Center of Ngaoundéré
- University of Ngaoundéré
- Cercle Philo-Psycho-Socio-Anthropo of the University of Yaoundé I
- Unity Cooperative Society (UNICS), Microfinance Institution
- Peace Corps Cameroon
- Organization for Environment and Sustainable Development (OPED)
- Women's Promotion and Assistance Association (WOPA)
Home to more than 200 ethnic groups and even more local languages and dialects, Cameroon faces the challenge of finding common ground for its national agenda. Within a nation famous for its folklore, art, and natural environment, Cameroonians are striving hard to preserve their cultural heritage and diversity in the face of globalization and the country's socioeconomic needs.
Against the backdrop of Cameroon's rich ethnic pluralism, the program explores:
- Cameroonian history, including Cameroon before colonization; German, French, and British colonization; the fight for independence; the impact that colonization has had on Cameroonian society today
- Development theories and approaches in the specific context of Cameroon
- Gender, including the role and place of women and men in Cameroonian society; contemporary gender roles and existing gaps between modern and traditional roles
- Minorities, including the "place" of the Anglophone in Cameroon and prejudices against Anglophones; culture and traditions of the Baka-Bagyeli (pygmies)
- Art, tradition, and cultural expression, including history and traditional ceremonies of the Bamilékés and traditional structures like the chefferies (chiefdoms)
- Islam and traditional power in the Grand North, including the interaction of traditional authorities, political power, and modernity
|Study alongside Cameroonian students. Each semester, a small number of Cameroonian students participate in the full SIT Cameroon program. Learn more.
Program alumnae draw upon lessons learned from SIT in building local NGO.
Lindsay Clarke, Sarah Oxford, and Alex Moore were inspired by the coursework, opportunities for independent research, and homestays of SIT's Cameroon program to start an NGO focused on assisting Cameroonians with conducting sustainable development projects.
"During our program with SIT, we were introduced to a vast array of development strategies.... In building Breaking Ground, we tried to take the best aspects of all these different approaches."

1- Training
Born in Paris in 1840, Rodin trained as a sculptor at the "Petite École" (École Impériale Spéciale de Dessin et de Mathématiques, which later became the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs). He failed the entrance examination to the École des Beaux-Arts and so commenced his artistic career in the 1860s as an employee in various studios. His earliest surviving works are paintings or portrait busts of his family and close friends: his models thus included his father, his companion Rose Beuret and, in 1863, Father Pierre-Julien Eymard, who founded a religious community which Rodin contemplated joining at one point.
In 1871, he moved to Brussels to continue working for his employer, Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse. He spent six years in Belgium. During the walks he took in his free time, he tried his hand at landscape painting. He modelled numerous decorative busts while he was there, e.g. The Orphan from Alsace, and also produced his first major works: Man with the Broken Nose (marble, Paris Salon of 1875; the mask shown here is a later version) and above all The Age of Bronze.
Rodin first exhibited this life-size figure in Brussels, then in Paris, after moving back to the capital in 1877. Several critics admired the quality of his modelling, but others insinuated that the artist had used a life cast. Deeply insulted, Rodin defended himself strenuously and his plaster was eventually purchased by the French state in 1880.
Saint John the Baptist, modelled at the very end of the 1870s, marked a decisive stage in Rodin's artistic development.
The saint's half-open mouth, dishevelled hair and nudity, revealing his lean, muscled body, create a striking image of the fervent preacher wandering in the desert.

South Georgia is getting its first scenic byway. The Georgia Department of Transportation created the program to recognize scenic routes around the state. Today Albany city commissioners gave the go ahead to proceed with a byway that starts in Albany.
There are more than a dozen scenic byways around the state, but this will be the first one in south Georgia. City officials say this will help boost tourism and attract visitors to Albany.
Old Highway 3 was once called the Dixie Highway. It was a route created in the early 1900s to connect the midwest with the South.
Now, with unanimous approval by the Albany city commission, this will be designated as a scenic byway.
The route will start at the Bridge house and run south to Oglethorpe Boulevard and east to Radium springs road. It will continue south along Old highway 3 to Thomasville.
"This will get people off of the four lane highway and off I-75, bring people off I-85 to the scenic byway, those who are not in a hurry to get from point A to point B and are just looking for the scenic byways."
City officials say this will help boost tourism for Albany.
"It will give people a chance to go to the flint riverquarium, Chehaw, just learn about everything that albany has to offer, whereas, they might not take that opportunity seeing a scenic byway."
The only requirement is that no more billboards can be posted along the route.
"In some towns that's a good thing, they like having the open space and being able for people to enjoy the canopy of oaks,the agricultural , the fields, all of the things that we have here in soutwest georgia, many people don't know how cotton is grown, we are find out that some travelers think peanuts are grown on a vine."
The route will pass through Dougherty, Mitchell, and Thomas counties.
Convention and visitor bureau officials say it will take one to two years to get the designation listed on the Georgia department of Transportation maps.
The route passes through Albany, Baconton, Camilla,Pelham, and Thomasville.

ATLANTA (AP) - The employer of a 60-year-old Idaho executive says it has suspended the man after authorities charged him with slapping a 2-year-old boy aboard a flight to Atlanta.
In a statement released Friday by the parent company of Unitech Composites and Structures in Hayden, Idaho, states that its president, Joe Rickey Hundley, was suspended pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
Al Haase, president and CEO of parent company AGC Aerospace and Defense, Composite Group, said in a statement the company is "taking this matter seriously."
Hundley was charged with simple assault after Jessica Bennett of Minneapolis told authorities he slapped her crying boy in the face and used a racial slur.
Hundley's attorney, Marcia Shein, said Friday that "it is important to let the case develop."

By JENNIFER MEIER
GOSHEN – This is not the track team. Nor is it just an after school program to train elementary girls to run a 5K.
"Girls on the Run is so much more than that," said Chamberlain Elementary School Counselor and the program's head coach Kelly Johnson. "I know and I think they are realizing that they are learning how to be confident, how to choose friends, how to stand up to bullying – really how to be your best self."
On Tuesday, nearing the end of Girls on the Run 10-week, 20-lesson program, 16 girls stretched to prepare for a practice 5K.
Then they began 31 laps around the school yard, stopping every third lap to earn a sticker.
"In practice we've gotten up to two miles," Johnson said. "So today they'll see and feel what 3.1 miles is really like."
Although Girls on the Run has several sites locally, Johnson heard about the program while on Twitter with other school counselors across the nation.
"Unfortunately there's a lot of relational aggression even in elementary schools today," Johnson said. "I know the positivity that running brought to my life and I thought it would be a perfect program for this school."
The 10-week curriculum for third through sixth-grade girls includes walking and running exercises and interactive discussions about healthy eating, leadership, cooperation and giving back to the community while debunking commercial images of beauty.
Another goal of the program is to arm young girls with the tools to fight against substance/alcohol abuse, eating disorders, sexual activity, sedentary lifestyles and depression.
The program that began in 1996 with 13 girls now boasts Girls on the Run programs in 200 sites across North America with more than 130,000 participants.
"I began talking with the Girls on the Run Michiana volunteer coordinator last summer," Johnson said. "She told me to spend the next school year finding sponsors for the program."
Maple City Healthcare stepped up to the plate almost immediately and became the Chamberlain School sponsor.
"I never thought it would happen this year. It is amazing," Johnson said. "And IU Goshen Health wants to sponsor us next year. We couldn't have done it without the help of the school and the Goshen community."
The interest the program sparked also amazed Johnson.
"We have a waiting list!" she said. "I wish all the girls who signed up could do this."
Chamberlain teachers Lani Iemma and Carol Kinchen help coach with Johnson. And Nayla Jimenez, Chief Operating Officer at Maple City Healthcare donates her time to practice with and help motivate the girls.
On Saturday, May 18 local Girls on the Run Chamberlain site will meet up with other sites at South Bend John Adams High School for their first 5K run.
"It's not a competitive race, it's a celebration," Johnson said. "They all wear bibs – but they all have the number 1 on them."
Each girl will run with an older female 'running buddy' who will assure that they stay safe and motivated throughout the race.
For Chamberlain students like nine-year-old Nevaeh Dzialak and 10-year-old Jasmine Medina, the journey to the 5K has already brought benefits.
I had trouble with confidence. I would never have gone out for a sport before this," Dzialak said. "Now I'm in volleyball and I think I will try out for cheerleading. Now I feel like I can stand up for myself. I would recommend this for all girls."
The soft-spoken Media also felt like she had a confidence problem.
"I can really be myself now and not just try to act cool," she said. "I don't make fun of people anymore because that's just not right. I think I've always been shy. My mom tells me that everyone makes mistakes. So with my mom and this program, I can do more things."
Johnson is also pleased with the progress so far.
"You know, pre-teens and teenage girls are much more alike than different anywhere you go. So the program is perfect for this school – it's perfect for any school," she said. "Last week in practice I asked the girls to raise their hands if they felt they could completely be themselves in this group. Everyone raised their hands."

I'm sorry to report that instead of being 21" x 33" as described, the bath mats were actually 20" by 30 1/2" -- really too much difference to ignore. I was also disappointed in the weight of the mats. They're more like very light-weight hand towels..

Although the color, shape, and size of these towels all are excellent, the 900 count makes them very rough to the touch and one MUST use a very high quality fabric softener each time they get wet and then are dried before use. This means that when the wash cloth gets wet and then dries it is very rough to the touch unless it is rinsed in fabric softener before it is dried. - not good!

I purchased this product in an XL based upon the reviews. I am 5'4", 130 lbs. It was HUGE! It is also much heavier than I expected. If I needed a beautiful robe in a colder climate (not SC) I would have exchanged it for a smaller size. Since that is not the case I did return the XL.

I bought the espresso set for our 2nd home in the mountains. I received them and washed and the color faded spotty so it looked as if they were exposed to bleach in some areas. The towels were good otherwise, but the color was an issue so I am returning them. Maybe one of the light colors would have been fine.

This robe is my new favorite. The fabric is soft, drapes beautifully, and there is enough of it to cover you up. The kimono style means that it wraps from one side all the way to the same spot on the other side. You wrap the right side to the left and then vice versa. then you tie the belt. Because it wraps so far around, it doesn't gap in the front if you sit down and cross your legs. I washed it in warm and dried it on low and it came out of the dryer wrinkle free.. It is a medium weight which is what I wanted. You'll love it.

A dense bath mat for use around the toilet. It keeps the floor dry because my dogs use the toilet as an everlasting fountain and make a watery mess all the time. The mat washes well but I would avoid putting it in the dryer because repeated exposure to the heat will cause the rubber backing to deteriorate.

We did not see too many children on this trip, but because children 17 and under travel free, I am sure that many will advantage of this opportunity. The children we saw seemed to be having a wonderful time. We really never saw them much as they were so well taken care of. The entertainment in the theatre was some of the best we had every experienced, from the Italian Tenor, the magician, to the wonderful soprano and the juggler, etc., we were constantly entertained. With the many lounges and other amenities on board, after dinner, Mom usually went to the casino and Daughter to the Lord Nelson Pub, something for both of us definitely!
I might add that we never went hungry, Daughter was always at the pizza bar on deck at 3:00pm and both of us eagerly awaited the pasta of the day at lunch. The dining room staff was very attentive and we took advantage of the wine package at the beginning of the cruise and the wine steward was very knowledgeable. They even would bring us our iced bottle to the pool, where we would enjoy a glass while watching the sun go down. I could not review the ship properly without mentioning the spa! We normally go at least once on a trip, but after experiencing the first Balinese Massage, we booked two more! Ahh!!!!!!
We also want to mention the staff, a wonderful group of energetic people from all over, who were so friendly and fun, they made you feel like part of their family. We got off the ship still speaking Italian and gesturing with our hands, Mama Mia, Bella, and Magnifico!!
Is this cruise for everyone? If you want to be on the shiniest, largest ship on the seas, probably not, if you want to have an experience like you have never left home, with everyone speaking English NO, but if you want a wonderful adventure with old world charm, this cruise line is for you. The food could be better to suit the American palate, but ordering from the Italian menu was wonderful and they are making great strides into updating their menus to please diverse cultures. They have added some beautiful new ships which we hope to try out soon and review, but as for now, you can find us back on the MSC Lirica, soon, this time going to Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Columbia and DR. We will be by the pool with our bottle of wine and our "old, new" friends. If anyone ever has any questions on this cruise line feel free to contact us and we will try to answer them from our unique points of view.

Question: What is Yiddish?
Answer: Yiddish (meaning "Jewish") is a Jewish hybrid language that has been spoken by Ashkenazi Jews (Jews from eastern and central Europe) since the Middle Ages.
Hybrid Language:
Yiddish is mostly German in its linguistic structure and vocabulary, but it is written in Hebrew characters. Originally, Hebrew words pertaining to Jewish religious life were added to German. Later, when the bulk of European Jewry moved eastward, Slavic words were added. Yiddish today is about 85 percent German, 10 percent Hebrew, 5 percent Slavic, with traces of Romanian, French, and other elements.
Yiddish originated in the Rhineland cities of Germany in the early Middle Ages (c.1000-1250). The first recognizable Yiddish texts date from the 14th century. Yiddish spread all over Europe over the next few centuries. More Jews have spoken Yiddish than any other language. Prior to the Holocaust, Yiddish-speakers accounted for 75 percent of world Jewry, or about 11 million people. During the Holocaust, about 75 percent of the world's Yiddish speakers were killed.
Today Yiddish is spoken by about 4 million Jews, located primarily in Argentina, Canada, France, Israel, Mexico, Romania, and the United States. In the late 20th century, a Russian-Yiddish dictionary and a few novels in Yiddish were published by Russian Jews. In Israel, Yiddish is a second language to Hebrew and is cultivated mostly by older Israelis who have an eastern European background. In America, the study of Yiddish language and literature is enjoying a revival on some college campuses. Some common Yiddish words found in English today include shlamazel (unlucky person), mishugana (crazy person), shlep (drag), kvetsh (complainer), goyim (non-Jews), nosh (snack), and mentsh (gentleman). SPECIAL CHARACTER: Since Yiddish was spoken by ordinary people rather than by scholars, its vocabulary is simple. Since European Jews had little contact with nature, Yiddish has few words descriptive of nature. In contrast, Yiddish has a wealth of words and expressions descriptive of character and of relations among people. Terms of endearment and proverbial expressions are considerable. Thus, Yiddish has a uniquely warm and personal flavor.

Daily Meal names Philadelphia home of best milkshake in US
In the wake of yet another brutal wave of mercury-shattering temperatures, there's no better place than Philadelphia to beat the heat – at least when it comes to frozen treats, according to one food blog that claims the City of Brotherly Love is also home to the country's best milkshake.
Retro soda shop Franklin Fountain topped The Daily Meal's America's 17 Best Milkshakes list.
"Named for Benjamin Franklin who began his adult life just blocks away, the shop aims to exhibit 'forgotten flavors of the American past,' according to its website," Daily Meal staffers wrote in the ranking:
"The Homemade Franklin Ice Cream was first served in 2006, and the shop has come a long way since the original Philadelphia vanilla bean flavor, offering 21 flavors every day like cherry vanilla, teaberry gum and green tea, as well as seasonal sorbets, sugar-free flavors, non-dairy ice creams and featured flavors. Any flavor can be made into a shake. … A true example of American history and small business, The Franklin Fountain's homemade ice cream makes their shakes extra tasty."
Philadelphia-based Bassett's Ice Cream Company also made an appearance on the list, clocking in at a respectable No. 4, below Fenton's Creamery in Oakland and Edzo's Burger Shop in Chicago. Website writers raved:
"Since 1861, Bassett's Ice Cream Company has been providing the Philadelphia region with delicious homemade ice cream, making it America's oldest ice cream company. A fifth-generation family business, its customers have included Dr. Phil and President Obama. With more than 40 ice cream flavors, the milkshake possibilities seem endless. The top 10 most popular flavors include vanilla, chocolate, butter pecan and English toffee crunch."
Other eateries among the lists's Top 10 included New York City's Lexington Candy Shop, the Lunchbox Laboratory in Seattle and Ted's Bulletin in Washington, D.C.

A water project designed to deliver quality drinking water to small towns and rural areas of western North Dakota is nearly ready to make its first water deliveries.
The Western Area Water Supply Project - or WAWS - is moving forward at breakneck speed - while organizers prepare to ask state legislators for more funding to expand their reach.
(Jaert Wirtz, WAWS Executive Director) "Probably the fastest pace of its kind."
That's how the leader of WAWS describes the project that was authorized barely 18 months ago and is now about ready to deliver drinking water to several oil-country towns.
(Jaert Wirtz, WAWS Executive Director) "We have put a pipeline in to Watford City and hope to turn on the city of Watford City in the middle of December. There's a pipeline from Wildrose to Crosby that was put in and Crosby should be getting service in mid-December as well."
Another customer that was scheduled to receive water in December will likely have to wait an extra month - the service to Ray, Tioga, and Stanley probably won't be ready until January. Meanwhile, hookups to rural customers are also about ready to be turned on.
(Jaert Wirtz, WAWS Executive Director) "There's another rural water system in McKenzie that is being currently put into use and that will begin as well so there's quite a few things happening."
Quite a few things happening because of a very aggressive schedule that's been pushed since the governor signed the bill authorizing WAWS back in May of last year.
(Jaert Wirtz, WAWS Executive Director) "We've put in 120 miles of transmission lines plus all the distribution and rural lines we've put in McKenzie and Williams County so there's been a lot of things done."
WAWS got its start about two years ago as communities in western North Dakota voiced concerns that they could not meet the water needs of their suddenly-growing populations. And legislators set up a unique way to pay the 150-million dollar price, allowing WAWS to set up depots to sell water to oil companies for use in exploration including hydraulic fracturing. Wirtz says while pipelines and water system work is pretty much on schedule, the water sales end of WAWS has been lagging.
(Jaert Wirtz, WAWS Executive Director) "That has been going slower than we thought, the depots weren't opening as fast as we expected. But we anticipate large amounts of sales once they do open because a lot of the private sellers are out of allocations and we have a supply to feed the needs of the industrial side."
The director of WAWS says all of the activity of the past 18 months has shown that legislators were right in getting WAWS going.
(Jaert Wirtz, WAWS Executive Director) "There was discussion of whether this thing was overbuilt and we've cleared that up and if anything there are plans of getting even bigger."
In Williston, Jim Olson, KX News.
Tomorrow, we'll report on plans for WAWS to expand - and what the project's board members will be asking for at the state legislature.

Candy Memories
In my younger years back in the 1960's my brother told me about this wonderful invention called the credit card. You could buy things now and pay later he said. All you had to do was show them this card and you could walk away with all kinds of great stuff. Wanting to get in on the action before the stores figured out this wasn't going to work, I went down town to get me one. I filled out lots of applications and patiently waited. Over the new few weeks I received several rejection letters but finally to my surprise a letter arrived with a brand new Sears (cardboard) credit card inside. My limit was an amazing $100. How foolish could they be. I immediately went down to the store with card in hand and stated cruising the isles. Well, I have to admit, there was not one thing that I was interested in buying until I finally hit the candy counter. For some reason the bright Orange Slices were to hard to pass-up. My first ever purchase on my very first credit card was one pound of Orange Slices from the Sears candy counter. I have been hooked on the golden gems ever since. Even today when my grandchildren visit we love sitting around putting Orange Slices in our mouths and beaming at each other with bright orange smiles. ~ Dave from Oregon

Commissioner Terry Roland says promises by the board to fix problems are not enough. He sent a letter to Shelby County DA Amy Weirich saying missing assets deserve more attention.
The letter was sent a day after Shelby County School leaders discussed a so-called "staggering" audit.
"It's disturbing, it's alarming, and it's unacceptable," said Shelby County Schools superintendent Dorsey Hopson.
Roland is talking about taking things a step further.
"If a normal business had done this. They would be out of business," said Roland.
Roland requested that Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich launch her own investigation into missing assets at Shelby County Schools, which total an estimated $48.4 million according to the outside audit.
"I'm also writing letters right now to the state treasurer and state comptroller asking them to look into this," said Roland.
Roland requested a special called county commission meeting to discuss the SCS audit. Something, he says, the commission chairman has yet to schedule.
"The taxpayers of Shelby County deserve an answer," said Roland.
A DA's office spokesman said they have received Roland's letter but no decision regarding an investigation has been made.

Warren St. John grew up in Alabama and went to college in New York. He remembers listening to the Auburn-Alabama football game on the radio and being depressed after Bama lost.
Id gone off to Columbia to study humanism and the great books to become a rational being, he wrote years later in his book about hyper-devoted Crimson Tide fans. Crying ones self to sleep over the failure of a group of people youve never met to defeat another group of people against whom you have no legitimate quarrel in a game you dont play, no less is not rational.
Theres much to be said in favor of big-time college sports. Theres also much to be said against them. The abuses at UNC-Chapel Hill show the dirty underbelly of high-dollar college sports, including the role of agents and the efforts of the athletic-industrial complex to keep players academically eligible.
Our recent report showed that former UNC football star Julius Peppers never had at least a 2.0 grade point average at Chapel Hill. But under UNCs rules at the time, Peppers was eligible to play.
Extreme brand loyalty
Big-time college sports (football and mens basketball) are entertainment enterprises. They wouldnt exist in their current form without loyal fans who spend lots of money on tickets and lots of time watching television.
Based on email Ive received, many of these fans have their personal identities tied up with the success of their schools teams. I didnt believe it could be done, but youve reached a new low with the Julius Peppers story you son of a b---h, wrote a Carolina fan who graduated from UNC in the late 1970s. I absolutely loathe you. Hopefully, Julius will sue the crap out of your sorry rag.
I cannot say for sure (he declined my invitation to talk on the phone) but Im betting my Carolina pen pal feels better about himself when UNC wins and worse about himself when UNC loses.
Thats not unusual. A survey of University of Kentucky basketball fans found 33 percent of respondents said this statement best described their level of interest in Kentucky basketball: I live and die with the Wildcats. Im happy if they win and sad if they lose.
Duke University economist Charles Clotfelter wrote about these hard-core fans in his 2011 book about college sports. These consumers exhibit extreme brand loyalty, he wrote. Psychologists describe them as being heavily identified with a particular team or university and have shown that the self-esteem of these ardent fans can be affected by their teams success in competition.
Good tradition, within reason
This is good for the athletic departments because it gives them loyal customers to pay the bills, including those rising coaches salaries. But its bad for these hard-core fans. If their emotional well-being depends on a student-athlete from their school hitting a free throw at the end of a game, they ought to look for a new passion.
If you like college sports, this is the best place in the country to live. I go to about 30 games a year at Duke, Carolina, N.C. State and occasionally at smaller schools. I almost always take a family member, as my dad took me. My father, a former college baseball player, had the right attitude: Respect the other school, respect the other players and coaches, respect the game.
The beauty of sports is watching well-prepared teams compete with everything they have. If thats not enough for some if only a Duke or a Carolina or a State win makes them feel fulfilled then I feel sorry for them.

NORMAL, Ill. -- The "It's Poppin'" gourmet popcorn shop officially opened its doors Tuesday.
Customers can choose from more than 20 flavors, like caramel, pizza, and loaded baked potato.
Co-owner Sylvester Davis says the store serves a niche the Twin Cities had been missing.
"We had one in the mall that I believe closed down in December of 2009, and after that there was a void," said Davis. "So, they just really enjoy popcorn. We eat popcorn at the movies. We microwave popcorn. Now, you have a gourmet flavored popcorn and allows us to do movie nights at home, so it just enhances everything."
"It's Poppin'" is located at 1520 East College Avenue in Normal and is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

@FGCU_MTEN Aims to Lock up A-Sun Tournament Berth in Regular Season Finale at Stetson
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Sitting just one game behind Stetson heading into the regular season finale in DeLand, Fla., the FGCU men's tennis team can clinch a spot in the Atlantic Sun Tournament for the second straight year with a win on Saturday against the Hatters.
Standing at 10-9 overall and 4-3 in the A-Sun, the Eagles can also clinch a berth into the conference postseason with a Mercer loss against No. 74 ETSU on Friday. A win would also make FGCU the No. 3 seed going into the A-Sun Tournament on Friday, April 19 hosted by ETSU.
FGCU's 10 wins are its most since the program's inaugural Division I season in 2007-08, while it will aim for a program record fifth A-Sun win at Stetson. The Eagles are 0-6 all-time against the Hatters and were eliminated in last year's A-Sun postseason by Stetson.
Two of the Green and Blue's three losses in A-Sun action have come by a 4-3 margin, as they haven't lost back-to-back games since the first weekend of February. FGCU is coming off a 1-1 weekend in which it took down 13-win Bethune-Cookman, 5-2, before dropping a 4-3 heartbreaker at A-Sun unbeaten and No. 1 seed UNF (12-7, 7-0).
Singles play has the been the strength of FGCU's turnaround from finishing in sixth place in 2011-12 to putting itself in position for a possible third place regular season showing this season. The top 3 spots in the lineup have all reached double figure wins, as sophomore Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain/IES Ferran Tallada/USC), junior Dean Tsamas (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS) and sophomore Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China/Bayshore HS-FL) have combined for 37 singles victories. Bao leads the trio with six wins in A-Sun action, while both Vives and Tsamas have five in the seven matches. Senior Jackson Moore (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch HS/Georgia State) has moved into the No. 4 spot in league play, going 5-2.
Stetson's 14 wins are a league-best, as two of its three losses and have come against ranked foes. The Hatters began the year 10-0, highlighted by a 5-2 victory over then-No. 56 St. John's. Stetson's hot start helped it break into the rankings at No. 71.
The match is slated for 10 a.m. with live stats available on www.FGCUATHLETICS.com and www.GOHATTERS.com.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Shane Doan scored a power-play goal at 3:05 of overtime and the Phoenix Coyotes beat the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Thursday night to extend their winning streak to a season-high four games.
Doan's game-winner came 58 seconds after Calgary's Mikael Backlund was called for tripping. With the victory, Phoenix moved into the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Flames defenseman Blair Jones was hit by a shot in front during the overtime power play and was left ineffective. With essentially two Calgary defenders on the ice, Doan was set up by Radim Vrbata at the left faceoff circle and ripped a one-timer past goalie Leland Irving.

You will be charmed by Brunei's many beautiful markets, incredible museums and unspoiled nature. Within the capital, Muara, you will find breathtaking landmarks. The Sultan's lavish residence is not to be missed, as it has achieved legendary status as the largest palace in the world and features a unique blend of contemporary and traditional Islamic architecture. But there is nothing traditional — or expected — in this small country in Southeast Asia. Be prepared to be surprised at every turn.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
An eye-opening study in contrasts, this tour presents the extravagant world of Brunei's sultan, followed by a look at life in a village built on stilts in the river.
Starting off from the pier, you will first travel inland toward the majestic Jame Mosque, Brunei's largest, where you will pause briefly for photos. Nearby, you will have a second photo stop that offers you a distant view of the Sultan's Palace which is situated on the leafy banks of the Brunei River.
Continuing on, you will arrive at the white-domed Royal Regalia where you can wander through exhibits of luxurious items from the Sultan's lavish coronation and other celebrations. Some of the items you may have the opportunity to see here are His Majesty's royal chariot, ceremonial swords, a model of the palace and various gifts from foreign dignitaries. But as you will soon see, there's more to Brunei than the extravagances afforded by its abundant oil and natural gas.
Making your way to a nearby jetty, you will board a boat and cruise to Water Village where you will witness firsthand a much different side of life. More than 30,000 people live here in thousands of structures built on stilts in the Brunei River. The village is an amazing assortment of homes, restaurants, mosques, shops and hospitals, all connected by wooden boardwalks. Surprisingly, some of the homes are quite elaborate, and you will have the unique opportunity of stopping by one for a cup of tea. Amazingly, people have lived in the Water Village for more than 1,300 years, making it one of the most historic areas in Brunei.
Following your time at the Water Village, you will retrace your route as you make your way back to the pier.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of easy to moderate walking. Some of the walking is over uneven surfaces and a wooden walkway. There are some steps to negotiate and guests must be able to enter and exit the tour boat on their own. This tour is not available to wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Long cotton pants; cotton shirt; a hat; sunglasses; sun screen and flat, comfortable walking shoes that are easy to slip in and out of are recommended. Low cut tops, shorts and short skirts or dresses are not considered appropriate. Shoes must be removed at the Royal Regalia and at the home visited at Water Village. Photography is not allowed in the Royal Regalia or mosques and all cameras and handbags must be left at the entrance to Royal Regalia.

Friends and family are honoring the memory of James Ware Sr. He was laid to rest in a Pratt City church on Wednesday.
Ware died last week, nearly 50 years to the day his son Virgil was killed. Virgil was riding bikes with his brother in 1963 when two white teenagers shot him. It happened hours after four girls were killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing.
The family had felt the bombing overshadowed Virgil's death. In August, the city of Birmingham unveiled a bust of Virgil Ware and added him to the gallery of distinguished citizens. Family members say it was perfect timing.
"It was a blessing. Unfortunately, my grandmother wasn't able to see it. She passed away in 1996, but I think my grandfather was so content. And three weeks later he's gone. I'm so glad the city did something to honor our family," said Melony Ware, the granddaughter of James Ware, Sr.
Officials with the Civil Rights Activist Committee say they will work to have Virgil Ware posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, the same honor that was awarded to the four little girls on Tuesday.

Allison is in her early 20s and needed an updated style to reflect a more sophisticated image. Her new blunt cut gives her a professional edge that's still young and fresh, while the addition of warm highlights brightens her face and skin tone.
- A sleek, straight cut looks best with vibrant shine. After styling, spray with BioSilk Shine On to tame frizz and add the perfect sheen.
- Allison's natural hair is a level 8 with an ashy tone to it. Biosilk 9g with 10 vol was used for the base and Chi lightener with 10 vol for her highlights. The Biosilk hair color created shine and vibrancy.

I've been debating between the 70-300 and the 70-200 f4 is. Now that they are equally priced, it makes the decision that much more difficult. I have shot the 70-200 f4 is and on occasion wished I had more reach, but who doesn't?
If you're going to be using the lens outside, then the 70-300L is a fine choice. I like it for travel, zoos, etc. The question is whether or not you can live with a sllightly slower lens at the longer end.

It is a bleak Saturday afternoon and I am watching the Alabama-Texas A&M game at my house in rural North Alabama. The wife is at work, the girls are in the other room, and the season is slipping away.
My great-grandaddy Elmo is with me. Elmo's been dead since '90. He sits on the sofa, giant black dress socks rising up out of his slippers and climbing halfway up his old man legs. His dentures pop in and out of their moorings with each new play, waggling around in his lips like a real-time barometer of Alabama's performance,
Johnny Football spins out of a sack, mumblety-pegs the ball to himself, and wings a touchdown pass to the same white receiver he's been throwing to all game. Shades of South Carolina in 2010.
"AW GREAT GOD THEY'VE LOST IT." Elmo roars. His hand twitches reflexively for the remote, but it is not there. This is my house, and the remote is on my side of the couch.
"TURN THAT MESS OFF." he insists, as is his wont. When Alabama sputters, they must be punished, and this is done by turning the game off for a few minutes and pretending to not care anymore.
The phone rings. It is my neighbor Martha, who is watching the same thing we're seeing. She is next door, thirty feet from my living room, hunkered down in her den, which is covered wall-to-wall with Daniel Moore prints and commemorative Alabama trinkets.
"Matthew," she says gravely, "What's wrong with these boys?"
For the next few minutes I listen as Martha empties her craw of grievances. Someone has paid one of our freshmen to throw the game. Our offensive coordinator refuses to run the ball because he's trying to get McCarron the Heisman. Sunseri and Hee-Haw Clinton-Dixon can't cover anyone. Then the game returns from commercial, and Martha ends the conversation. The action demands her attention.
Elmo points a scraggly finger at the television.
"Bill Curry callin' these plays?" he barks.
Saban's good, Grandaddy. You'll like him.
"Bear'd be running the ball."
We buried Elmo in Maple Hill next to Nana. I was just a kid when he went. He left us before things picked back up, before Stallings came back and gave us a glory run for the old timers. The DuBose and Shula years would have killed him all over again. Mike Price wouldn't have fooled him for a second.
The boys are rallying. Yeldon pushes the ball into A&M territory. The kid goes low, snaking forward for an extra yard, and suddenly the ball pops out. Elmo doesn't wait for Verne Lundquist's delayed garblings.
"We've lost it." he proclaims instantly.
I can't listen to Gary Danielson's incredulous post mortem, so I hit the mute button. I can't turn the game off either, though. Sometimes when one slips through your fingers you just have to hang on for a few minutes and linger where the victory would have been.
Elmo's dentures have gone back in his mouth. He takes off his George Smiley glasses and begins cleaning them with his shirt. He's the man who gave me my first baseball glove. Who passed down the DNA of what it meant to be an Alabama fan.
"Your momma and daddy still living in South Huntsville? Your momma used to make the best homemade gravy. Put a drop of that stuff on the top of your head, your tongue'll beat your brains out tryin' to get to it."
No, Grandaddy. Mom and Dad split up. She moved down to Fayette County.
He says it is no matter. Says he will take me and Jean down to the Piccadilly if I am hungry.
Jean passed, Grandaddy. Sharon, too.
Elmo and I just sit. The television is still on mute. The A&M players are gathering in front of their fans and singing the Aggie War Hymn.
Things ain't like they used to be. Elmo's gone, and it's just me and Martha, trying to teach the girls how to say "Roll Tide" even when it hurts.
