vacation rental description
Coastal cottage, Wilmington Willow, is a 6 mile zip across the marsh to the atlantic ocean and small
beach resort of Tybee island. Within that short distance are many of the area's best known seafood
resturants and some of the most beautiful roadway through coastal georgia's marshland. WW offers the
quiet mid ground between sand and surf and the historic downtown of Savannah; reputed for beautiful gardens, good food, lively entertainment, and sophisticated art culture. WW sits on a private sandy road with the marsh in front and expansive in view across the inter coastal waterway of the wilmington river. Willow is of authentic low country style of living and located in a cluster of old cottages, which was once declared a simple fishing village. The original cottage was built in 1945 as a fish camp and has recently been restored to offer all amenities of a vacation home. This charming retreat offers gracious lifestyle for entertaining front porch style while overlooking the subtlety of the ebb and flow of Georgia's shoreline tides. The southern backside of wilmington island offers an unexpected secluded getaway from it all. This tip of the island is abundant in water birds, migratory, and the colorful locals. The tin roofed cottage is canopied by great live oaks, cluster palms, tall old pines. The winding island road is relaxing for long shady winter or summer walks with the delight of bird spotting. The simple tropical setting is just the spot needed away from the buzz of modern lifestyle. Just sit back and do nothing, grill out, or read a good book under the giant old magnolia covered with blossoms surrounded by shadowy drapes of
spanish moss. Sit sipping your favorite drink while watching the vibrant red southern sun setting. The area offers more day trips than there are days in the week. WW is owned and designed by an artist and offers the pleasure of being surrounded by the unique display of art. For sure, the collective visuals make for a vacation out of the ordinary. wilmington willow has a smaller guest cottage designed to resemble a yacht that can be reserved for larger families or separately for couples and guest.

Sept. 13, 2012 — Several Grayson residents have discovered they are victims to bank card hacking.
The Grayson Police Department is conducting an investigation into unauthorized purchases that were seemingly made online and across the country.
"Several people have already reported that their accounts have been breached," Det. Sgt. Travis Steele told the Journal-Times. "There seems to be no rhyme or reason to how the victims were targeted, because it wasn't from a particular bank, or from a particular business."
Steele said that residents should be vigilant about checking their bank accounts for unusual transactions, and contact the GPD if they believe they are a victim.
GPD is working in conjunction with other investigative agencies, so the exact number of victims is unknown. However, Steele expects more people to make similar reports in the near future.

Bought the sofa and the loveseat for my living room. This room doesn't get much use, so I didn't need a super set. Was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Easy to put together. Took 10 bolts and several screws to assemble. Pay attention to the velcro cover at the bottom that hides where the bolts go. Peel it back and you're ready to go. It really looks fantastic! durable faux suede fabric. I have this fabric on my family room furniture and it is sooooo easy to clean. This would be perfect for a young couple getting started. I have received several compliments already. Just a tip, my UPS guy usually delivers in the afternoon, but because the boxes took up so much space, they came first thing in the morning to get them off the truck.
Very good for an accent piece or in a home office. Not sturdy enough for everyday use. Legs are not of quality. Noticed a large crack in one leg after a few months. Good value and look for the price. Just don't plan to use this in a living room that gets used everyday.
This love seat is cute and looks good in my livingroom. However putting it together was not easy from the directions. The directions are comprised of pictures only. In order to secure the back of the loveseat to the sides there is a velcro panel at the bottom of the back that can be pulled back to fasten the screws. It took a couple of hours before I figured that out. Otherwise I'm happy with the purchase.
I'm very disappointed in this couch. The color was right on, but it's very uncomfortable, the cushions are way to large they hang over and don't stay in place. If I had kept the box I would of returned it.
These couches are very cute but little. They could be more comfy as they are a bit stiff. Hopefully they soften up a bit with time. However, they look nice. I like the color and they are the right size for my small room.
I read the reviews about having to assemble yourself. I always put things together in my house and while I would rather not have to assemble a loveseat/sofa, it really was not that bad. The instructions are only pictures which makes it really hard to see the very small print on some of it. It does not warn you "not to tighten before this other piece goes on" and things like that. But, I have put enough stuff together, it was not as hard as it could have been. For the money and free shipping, I didn't mind it at all. If you are shopping for furniture in the first place from Overstock.com, you are obviously looking for a bargain. I feel like this is a great price for what you get. If you want top quality, you need to go to a furniture store and even then, I have gotten worse than this at a furniture store already assembled and paid a hefty delivery charge.
I purchased the gray, linen loveseat, the matching chair and the ottoman for my bedroom. I had recently purchased a large, expensive, leather living room set. In comparison, the thought put into the bedroom set was far superior to that of the leather living room set! The Tribecca Home set was made with a lightweight wooden frame resulting in lightweight furniture. This is great when putting it together and moving it to where you want it but we have it sitting on a wooden floor and it does slide easily when sitting down. It is not a big deal to me but certainly worth noting. The material itself is wonderful! For those wondering if it is a gray microfiber it is not. I don't know if it is actual "linen" but I love it! The directions on how to put it together are only pictures and leave a lot to be desired. As other reviewers noted, you need to unzip in some inconspicuous places in order to put it together. Once you find where the screws go be warned that the picture only shows one screw that connects the arm to the base but there are two. There is one that attaches to the arm to the back. I had to go back and add that... sheesh! The legs are a little tricky to get them on so they are all facing the right direction. I would suggest paying attention to them before screwing adding the screws that hold them in place. All in all, I love this furniture. I am hoping that the padding will hold up nicely over time.
The color is more of a canvas blue, not a full blue but overall, good couch, great price. Very modern looking. Agree with other reviewers that cushions hang a bit over, look like they'll fall out but they're stable.
I bought this loveseat about a month ago and I absolutely love it! It was very easy to set up and looks sleek in my office. I read previous reviews that this loveseat was small, but in actually it is not noticeably smaller than any other loveseat I have previously owned. I would highly recommend this product if you are looking for a loveseat.
This loveseat, and I would suspect the rest of 'Tribecca Home's' product line (it used to be Ethan Home) is utter garbage. When it arrived, it was obviously a piece of junk and Overstock offered to take it back, however, they required me to pay for return shipping, which would have been significant. It hasn't even lasted a year and the cushions are completely shot. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Prehistoric settlement near the suburbs of Cairo
The predynastic settlement of Maadi is situated on an east-west running desert ridge covering an area c. 1.5 km long and 200-300 m wide. Today, parts of the site are overbuilt by modern houses; the rest of the area is threatened by the rapidly growing city of Cairo (Fig.1).
In addition to Buto, Maadi is the settlement the chalcolithic Lower Egyptian culture of the 4th millennium is named for. The settlement existed for approximately 300 years and was abandoned in the middle of the 4th millennium B.C.
The site is well-known by large-scale excavation directed by M. Amer und I. Rizkana 1930-1953 on behalf of the University of Kairo (Fig.2). Recent investigations were carried out 1999-2002 and 2006/07 by the German Archaeological Institute Cairo.
Apart from agriculture, for the economy of the settlement was the trade with Palestine seems to have played a role which supplied Lower Egypt with a number of goods including copper.
The settlement of Maadi (as well as two nearby cemeteries) was excavated on a large scale by Cairo University from 1930-1953. The excavations were directed by M. Amer and I. Rizkana and were initially (1930-1933) carried out in cooperation with the German Institute of Archaeology (O. Menghin, K. Bittel) (Fig.2). Further excavations were conducted by the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in the late 1970s and by F.A. Badawi (Al-Azhar University Cairo) in the 1980s. Badawi was the first to be granted permission to work in the western part of the settlement which was previously inaccessible to archaeologists due to a military camp with a transmitting station on the site.
Likewise in the 1980s, the previously unpublished material of the old excavations was revised by J. Seeher and published in four volumes in cooperation with the German Institute of Archaeology and funded by the German Research Foundation.
The aim of the investigations carried out from 1999-2002 was to document the archaeological remains of Maadi-West, an area threatened by modern-day construction. The results of the investigations were to form the basis of a recommendation for the Egyptian authorities to protect the area from further building activities.
The investigations also focused on the stratigraphy of the settlement, on re-examining a unique semi-subterranean stone house and on assumed metallurgical activities in the settlement.
Beside collections of surface material, core drillings yielded quick and good results. This simple method makes it easy to determine the extension and thickness of the settlement layers which may subsequently investigated in greater detail by archaeological sondages.
It turned out that geomagnetic measurements are not suitable for Maadi as remains of foundations of reinforced concrete and iron girders from the military camp and transmitting station affect the measurements considerably.
The recent work complements the overall picture of the settlement achieved by previous excavations. The settlement consisted principally of light huts and was economically based on agriculture and cattle breeding, although the trade with southern Palestine and the Upper Egyptian Naqada Culture seems to have played a role, too. Beside imported raw materials and objects, semi-subterranean stone dwellings point to influences from the southern Levant. The import of copper and copper ore, respectively, might have been of special importance but their origin is not yet fully clarified.
During the work 1999-2002, carried out in cooperation with the Cairo University (during the first campaign) and the Supreme Council of Antiquities, it was possible to determine the extent of the remaining settlement and to make a recommendation to the Egyptian authorities to classify approximately two-thirds of the area as a historical monument.
The settlement layer is approximately 50-70 cm thick, sometimes 1 m or 1.20 m. Remains of wooden posts, probably from huts, windbreaks and fences, partially stone-lined hearths, pits of varying size and shape, small pits with burnt mud lining – perhaps cooking pits - and sunken storage jars (Fig.3) illustrate the general nature of the settlement. In some areas, thicker layers of ash were evident that seem to indicate not only normal household fires but also technical activities. Small beads of smelted copper could suggest the processing of metal. Most probably, the majority of the ceramics was produced locally. The ceramic inventory includes bowls, dishes and large storage vessels as well as ovoid and spherical vessels of differing size and shape, either with a smoothed surface or sometimes painted red, often with black or brown, polished surfaces (Fig.4). In addition to flint and bone tools, jewellery was probably produced in the settlement, too (Fig.5). Wool was also processed (Fig.6). Additionally, trade seems to have played a role, although in comparison to the earlier excavations, imported objects and materials are not common in the newly examined settlement area. Connections to the southern Levant can be traced to some ceramic fragments and so called tabular scrapers made of flint; the latter probably come from the Sinai or the Negev Desert. Some vessels from Upper Egypt were also found in Maadi, as well as a large flint knife (Fig.7) which probably had its origin in Upper Egypt, too. The finds show that connections to Palestine and Upper Egypt existed; however, it is quite likely that agriculture formed the economic basis. Emmer, barley and some pulses have been identified in Maadi; grinding stones and querns for processing grains are common finds. Goats, sheep, pigs and cattle were kept and consumed, fishing also played a role. Hunting was of little importance, unless it was the hunting of water fowl.
The newly examined area of the settlement existed for approximately 300 years (c. 3700-3500 B.C.) without distinctive changes in the material culture.
Two extraordinary finds contrast with the light huts and wind-screens of the settlement: the sunken stone house that was excavated by F.A. Badawi in the middle of the 1980s and cleaned during the new excavations; and a second subterranean structure, a "cave dwelling", that was discovered during the core drillings and subsequently excavated which resembles similar structures revealed during the old excavations in the eastern part of the settlement.
The fairly precisely east-west oriented stone house (Fig.8) has a rectangular floor plan with rounded corners (the interior measures ca. 8.5 x 4 m) and is approximately 2 m sunken into the ground. The walls were very carefully built of undressed stones and pebbles, originally plastered with mud mortar. On the northern side is a wall-lined entrance that leads above ground. Three large holes for thick posts that supported a roof construction are aligned in the middle of the room. There are numerous small depressions in the floor, apparently imprints of storage vessels (Fig.9). The roof was most likely at the same height as the surrounding surface. It probably consisted of beams resting on the posts which were covered with mats and mud plaster (Fig.10).
In the second structure, stone steps lead from the south (Fig.11) to a slightly sloping corridor that is made of carefully built and plastered stone walls (Fig.12). The corridor leads to a subterranean room with a dome-shaped ceiling that was cut into the bedrock. The floor of this room is approximately 4 m deeper than the present-day surface (Fig.13). The corridor was presumably lined with flat limestone slabs and mud plaster (Fig.14). After a fire had destroyed the wooden support posts and had caused the structure to collapse, the remaining cave continued to be used as depot or hide-away for ceramic vessels and other objects. It seems to have also been used as a workshop, e.g. for producing tools made of bone. Over time, the pit filled up with sand and was subsequently covered by the surrounding settlement (Fig.15).
So far, the function of these two buildings has not been clarified. There is no evidence of a use as graves or shrines; thus it seems plausible that they were utilized on a practical, daily basis. Maybe they were used e.g. as central storage rooms in which perishable goods were protected from the heat. In Egypt, such buildings have only been found in Maadi. During the earlier excavations in the eastern part of the settlement, four similar, yet simplified, structures were discovered. There are comparisons in Palestine where subterranean dwellings and storage rooms were typical for the southern part of the country during Chalcolithic time, and rectangular stone buildings with rounded corners (however, not sunk into the ground) are known from early Bronze Age settlements. The numerous goods and objects imported from the southern Levant which came to light during the earlier excavations provide clear evidence for close contact between both regions. There are some indications that "Canaanites" may have lived in the settlement for a time. The idea for these buildings must have been the result of interaction with Egypt, but there is no archaeological prove that the structures were actually built and used by people from the Southern Levant.
Currently, there are no ongoing excavations in Maadi. However, the settlement became the focus of attention in the frame of another project which investigates the copper supply and the origin of copper in predynastic Egypt [www.dainst.org/project/kupferversorgung]. Maadi is especially important because the settlement is, to date, the only Egyptian location where copper ingots (Fig.16) were found in addition to copper ore (malachite) and various copper objects. The copper ingots seem to match moulds that were discovered during recent excavations of the Orient Department of the German Archaeological Institute in Hujayrat al-Ghuzlan near Aqaba in Jordan, and it is not unlikely that the two settlements had trade relations with each other. Archeometallurgical investigations of ores and slags from various locations and a comparison with archaeological finds are supposed to help to determine the sources of the copper from the settlement of Maadi and to answer such questions.

PEORIA COUNTY, Ill. -- Sunday's event started out much like an Honor Flight.
With the younger generation paying respect to their elder veterans.
And at an event held at a gun range, you didn't have to go to far to find some veterans.
"We've got a lot of veterans first of all in the group," said Peoria Skeet & Trap board member Dennis Kerns. "I think a lot of people are supporters of the military. They much appreciate what they've done for the country and continue to do. So it's just a natural fit for us."
Sunday's fundraiser included a $50 dollar entry fee for shell boxes and lunch, as well as raffle tickets and merchandise.
Organizers hoped to raise more than $5,000 dollars which would push them over their goal.
"All the money we raise today is pure profit that goes to that $80,000 dollars needed per flight," said Greater Peoria Honor Flight President Lesley Matuscak. "The great thing about this flight, the honor flight hub in general is that 31,000 veterans in this Greater Peoria area do not have to travel far to go to the airport to DC and back."
"A lot of them did not get a great welcome home when they came home," said Kerns. "Maybe in World War Two but certainly not in Korea and Vietnam and so they've received that now and it means a lot to those people."
"Soldiers come home, you know they have a lot of people that come out and give them praise and we never had that," said Vietnam vet and club member Mike Walter.
Something the Honor Flight is hoping to correct.
Mike Walter and his friend Steve Ellison are a couple of those veterans hoping to participate in an upcoming honor flight.
"I think it would be a good experience to see and to tell," said Ellison. You know, what it's like. The honor of it."
The club plans to hold the fundraiser again next year, in hopes of showing continued appreciation and support of all veterans.

UK 'one of worst breastfeeding rates in the world'
The UK has one of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world, with breastfeeding rates varying significantly, depending on where you live, scientists from the University of Sheffield said.
In a new feasibility study which will see women being given vouchers for breastfeeding, Dr Clare Relton said it was vital to look into creative ways to boost the levels of breastfeeding across the UK.
The UK has one of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world and breastfeeding rates vary very widely across different parts of the country.
If you are a six-week-old baby the chances of you being breastfed vary depending on where you live. If you live in an affluent area you are four times more likely to be breastfed than if you live in a deprived area.
Babies who are breastfed have fewer health problems such as upset tummies and chest infections, and are less likely to develop diabetes and obesity when they are older. Breast milk is perfectly designed for babies and provides all they need for the first six months of their life.

Baseball Sweeps Season Series With FAU
BOCA RATON, Fla. – After four lead changes, and 16 pitchers by both squads, the FGCU baseball team won their 34th win of the season as they scored late to win 8-7 over FAU on Tuesday night at the FAU Stadium.
The Eagles outhit the Owls 14-11 to improve their record to 34-17, and the Owls fall to 27-23 on the season. The Eagles are now 4-0 all-time against the Owls, sweeping the two-game series for the second straight year.
The Eagles used six pitchers on the night with Craig Crumbly (Winter Haven, Fla.) earning the win. Crumbly improved his record to 7-3 on the season. Crumbly threw one inning, allowed four hits and two runs.
The Owls used 10 pitchers on the night with Alex Pepe receiving the loss. Pepe (3-1) did not record an out, and allowed one run.
The Owls opened up the scoring in the first. David Wilson singled up the middle to lead off the bottom half of the first inning. After a throwing error by FGCU starting pitcher Ryan Horton (Orlando, Fla.) advanced Wilson to third, Jeremy Griffitns flew out to center to Wilson.
The Eagles would take their first lead of the game as Zach Maxfield (North Port, Fla.) leadoff the second inning with his 19th home run to left center. The Eagles would plate another run in the inning as Brad Roberts (Tampa, Fla.) singled to left field with two out, and Robert Greene (Cape Coral, Fla.) drove in Roberts on a double to left field to put the Eagles ahead 2-1.
The Owls regained the lead in the third on a two-out, two RBI double by Tom Hatcher.
The Owls added two more in the fifth on a two run home run by Wilson, his sixth home run of the season. After five innings of play, the Eagles trailed 5-2.
The Eagles took their second lead of the game after Maxfield added his A-Sun leading 20th home run in the sixth with one out. Josh Chester (Weston, Fla.) followed Maxfield's home run with a single up the middle to extend his hit streak to 24-games, the longest in FGCU history. Stephen Wickens (Whitby, Ontario) reached base on a hit-by-pitch, and Roberts cleared the bases with his sixth home run of the season to put the Eagles up 6-5.
The Eagles loaded the bases in the eighth after a single by Wickens, a double by Roberts, and hit-by-pitch by Greene. Josh Upchurch (Cape Coral, Fla.) stepped up the plate and drew a walk on four straight pitches to increase the Eagles lead to 7-5.
Trailing by two, Griffiths leadoff the Owls eighth inning with a single up the middle. Three pitches later, the Owls tied the game on a home run by Hatcher.
Tied at seven, the Eagles loaded the bases once again in the top of the ninth to bring up Greene. Greene ran the count full, and drew a walk to score Chester.
With a one run lead in the bottom of the ninth, senior Derek Shaw (New Port Richey, Fla.) was able to get his sixth save of the season as the Eagles went on to win 8-7.
Four Eagles recorded multiple hits. Upchurch went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Maxfield went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, and two RBI on two home runs. Wickens also went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, and Roberts went 4-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI.
The Eagles look to win another A-Sun regular season title as they host Stetson for a three-game series beginning on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Game two is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Friday, and the series concludes on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. The Eagles only need to win one game in the series to win their second straight A-Sun regular season title.

The principal trumpeter for the Kansas City Symphony is accused of possessing child pornography.
According to online records, Gary Alan Schutza of Prairie Village was charged with sexual exploitation of a child. He was released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned before a judge on Wednesday.
Neighbors described their shock as they saw Schutza placed in handcuffs and hauled away by police on Tuesday. He moved into a rental home last fall.
Bernard Cline, who saw the arrest, says there are too many children in the neighborhood and he hopes Schutza doesn't return.
"Whatever he's doing, guilty or innocent, he doesn't need to live around here," he said. "This is a nice quiet neighborhood. There's a lot of kids."
KCTV5 has reached out to officials with the Symphony for a comment, but they have yet to reply.
As of Tuesday night, Schutza's bio and his answers to 10 questions remained on the Symphony's website. Click here to read it.

Secure Border Initiative:
DHS Needs to Address Significant Risks in Delivering Key Technology Investment
GAO-08-1148T: Published: Sep 10, 2008. Publicly Released: Sep 10, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6256
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Secure Border Initiative (SBI) is a multiyear, multibillion-dollar program to secure the nation's borders through, among other things, new technology, increased staffing, and new fencing and barriers. The technology component of SBI, which is known as SBInet, involves the acquisition, development, integration, and deployment of surveillance systems and command, control, communications, and intelligence technologies. GAO was asked to testify on its draft report, which assesses DHS's efforts to (1) define the scope, timing, and life cycle management approach for planned SBInet capabilities and (2) manage SBInet requirements and testing activities. In preparing the draft report, GAO reviewed key program documentation, including guidance, plans, and requirements and testing documentation; interviewed program officials; analyzed a random probability sample of system requirements; and observed operations of the initial SBInet project.
Important aspects of SBInet remain ambiguous and in a continued state of flux, making it unclear and uncertain what technology capabilities will be delivered and when, where, and how they will be delivered. For example, the scope and timing of planned SBInet deployments and capabilities have continued to be delayed without becoming more specific. Further, the program office does not have an approved integrated master schedule to guide the execution of the program, and the nature and timing of planned activities has continued to change. This schedule-related risk is exacerbated by the continuous change in, and the absence of a clear definition of, the approach that is being used to define, develop, acquire, test, and deploy SBInet. SBInet requirements have not been effectively defined and managed. While the program office recently issued guidance that is consistent with recognized leading practices, this guidance was not finalized until February 2008, and thus was not used in performing a number of important requirements-related activities. In the absence of this guidance, the program's efforts have been mixed. For example, while the program has taken steps to include users in developing high-level requirements, several requirements definition and management limitations exist. These include a lack of proper alignment (i.e., traceability) among the different levels of requirements, as evidenced by GAO's analysis of a random probability sample of requirements, which revealed large percentages that were not traceable backward to higher level requirements, or forward to more detailed system design specifications and verification methods. SBInet testing has also not been effectively managed. While a test management strategy was drafted in May 2008, it has not been finalized and approved, and it does not contain, among other things, a high-level master schedule of SBInet test activities, metrics for measuring testing progress, and a clear definition of testing roles and responsibilities. Further, the program office has not tested the individual system components to be deployed to the initial deployment locations, even though the contractor initiated testing of these components with other system components and subsystems in June 2008. In light of these circumstances, our soon to be issued report contains eight recommendations to the department aimed at reassessing its approach to and plans for the program, including its associated exposure to cost, schedule and performance risks, and disclosing these risks and alternative courses of action to DHS and congressional decision makers. The recommendations also provide for correcting the weaknesses surrounding the program's unclear and constantly changing commitments and its life cycle management approach and processes, as well as implementing key requirements development and management and testing practices.

Top Orange County Divorce Attorney
Believe it or not, the term "divorce" is actually out-dated. The current legal reference to the process involved to end a marriage is referred to as a "dissolution of marriage". California is a no fault divorce state – this means that, typically, the reason for the dissolution will likely not be a central issue. The most common basis for a dissolution in California is "irreconcilable differences".
The "no-fault" nature of California dissolution law does not mean that a case should be handled without any attention to the parties' factual background. In fact, our experience has proven that understanding a client's family dynamics and history are important in effectively representing a client through the dissolution process. A good family law attorney will navigate a client through the family law process; and, thus, needs to learn about the family dynamic, the needs of the parties' children, the financial structure of the family and the client's goals for the future. At Bayati Law Group, we invest the time required to know our clients, their families, their goals and their plans moving forward. This allows us the ability to successfully navigate our clients from where they are to where they want to be.
Top Orange County Child Custody Attorneys
How do the courts determine which parent gets custody of the children? What schools will my children attend after divorce? How much child support will I pay? What if my spouse wants to move out of state with the children? Can my children testify in court about which parent they want to live with? How does domestic violence affect custody? Can I contact my children if my spouse has a restraining order? How does the court determine a child's best interest?
If your case involves custody of children, you may have given thought to some of the questions listed above. Child custody is a complex area of family law that requires experienced legal counsel. At Bayati Law Group, we have extensive litigation experience with child custody and visitation. Whether your case is amicable or if your case involves complicated custody issues, we will provide you with the expertise you need to ensure your children's best interest in conjunction with ensuring your time with your children.

After Friday's devastating school shooting in Newtown, CT, many parents are left wondering how safe their own kids are at school, and if more should be done to ensure their safety.
Speaking out on how to avoid these tragedies are parents from all across East Texas. Some parents are skeptical anything can be done to prevent such a tragedy. On Facebook Friday, some East Texans expressed their wish for teachers with concealed handgun licenses to be armed in the classroom. Others feel strongly that would only bring more risks. Many people say they're in favor of armed officers and metal detectors at every school entrance. But at what point does a school stop feeling like a school and start feeling like a maximum security prison?"It's not like a prison, it's just what we do normally to keep ourselves safe," says Jennifer Steele, the associate director of the Texas School Safety Center in San Marcos, Texas.Gone are the days when just anyone could step-foot on campus. Now, it's a priority for the Texas Education Code to outline safety standards in place to prevent these emergencies."There's access control regulations, standards, they practice drills and lock downs. They're prepared for these types of emergencies where strangers aren't supposed to be able to get into a school," says Steele.For East Texas schools, events like Friday's are a stark reminder of the importance of daily safety procedures. "We do review those continuously. We have training in place and we're currently looking at best practices to continue to ensure the safety of our staff and students," says Tyler ISD Director of Communications Dawn Parnell."We are deeply saddened by the events that took place in Connecticut. Tyler ISD's thoughts and prayers are with those families and the victims and. Just pray for the best for them," she says.
The Texas School Safety Center says Texas has regulations and standards in place to make sure schools practice prevention and response to emergencies like these. However, there is not a law that regulates how often schools must practice those drills.

Editor, the Gauntlet,
With regards to the article "The birth of the atheist evangelical" [Tyler Wolfe, Jan. 22] Wolfe's comparison of the atheist bus ads with religious proselytizing is absurd. In no way does the atheist campaign tell you how to live your life or what to believe, it specifically tells you one thing not to believe in: the existence of a god. And this is perfectly legitimate, in that all evidence points definitively in the direction that a god probably doesn't exist. Even the wording of the ads is incredibly fair, with the use of the word probably.

Works and Days
provides a scholarly forum for the exploration of problems in cultural studies, pedagogy, and institutional critique, especially as they are impacted by the global economic crisis of late capitalism.
Whereas most scholarly journals publish groups of relatively unrelated essays, each volume of
Works and Days
focuses on a specific issue, and contributors are encouraged to share their work with each other.
Recent special issues of the
Works and Days
journal have focused on the effect of globalization on women and the environment, the attacks on academic freedom, the privatization of higher education under neoliberal capitalism, the increasing exploitation of part-time, temporary faculty, the shift from print to electronic media, and the politics of knowledge.
We are eager to hear from anyone already at work on projects suitable for publication in
Works and Days
. We also encourage proposals for joint projects and will assist in their formation. In addition, we invite participants in symposia, conferences, and other research groups to consider developing their work through online collaboration and publishing their outcomes as special issues of

State police have identified the victim of Saturday night's fatal crash on an icy bridge in Augusta County.
Troopers say 34-year-old Tina Schrenk from Stuarts Draft was driving a yellow Saturn on Route 608 when the car was hit head-on by a Dodge Durango.
Police say the SUV skidded out of control on a patch of ice. Schrenk died on the scene.
The Durango's 16-year-old driver, an adult passenger, and Schrenk's 16-year-old son are all being treated for injuries at Augusta Health. They are both expected to recover.
State police say the commonwealth's attorney will decide whether to file charges.

CAC {B-19, BB-192} The Regular Date AMERICAI has an estimated population of 600 to 1,100 in all grades. Only 25 to 50 exist in AU-50 to AU-58. {CAC Population 2, Only 3 Higher}
Ron Guth: The 1800 "AMERICAI" variety features a die flaw that mimics the letter "I" immediately following the word AMERICA on the reverse. The flaw is not an actual letter "I", which would have been the engraver's error; rather, it is simply a flaw that looks like an I, in perhaps the most fortuitous position possible. This is considered a major variety in the Bust Dollar series, as it is visible to the naked eye. Two varieties (BB-191 and BB-192) comprise the entirety of this variety. As expected, both varieties share the AMERICAI reverse, but were struck from different obverses.
The PCGS Condition Census for this major variety features coins ranging in condition from AU-55 to MS-63, thus collectors have several high-grade options from which to choose. The finest examples certified by PCGS (as of March 2012) are a pair of MS-63s.

|Even I make a few good shots
By Will Maines
ONE THING I'VE learned about being laid up with a nasty bout of bronchitis is that you tend to spend a lot of hours tilted back in a recliner watching TV shows that really aren't much worth watching.
Tiring of "Law and Order" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" reruns, as well as even the highly entertaining "Duck Dynasty," I found — much to my wife's chagrin — several hunting shows on the outdoor channels that demanded my viewership.
It was actually quite humorous watching some of the duck hunting shows and observing that, just like me, a lot of the duck hunters blasting away at hundreds of ducks and geese invading their decoy spreads are just as lousy at wing shooting as I am.I'm telling you, there are an awful lot of

Dublin Mazda - a New & Used Mazda DealershipKen and I recently opened Dublin Mazda as an exclusive Mazda dealer in Dublin to sell and service Mazda's in the Tri-Valley. I have been a Mazda dealer over the hill in Tracy since 2005 and have always wanted to add the Dublin location as a logical expansion of the Harvey family of dealerships.
Mazda is a high quality fun to drive car that fits well into our business model of selling cars that are fast, fun and cool! From the fun little Mazda2 to the 7 passenger SUV CX9, all the Mazda vehicles drive differently than the competition- with a sporty, connected feel that is not like driving an appliance. If you want a dishwasher that drives you came to the wrong dealership! (They sell them right around the corner!)We are a small but friendly bunch, and we vow to give you personal service that will stand out from the usual dealership crowd. We pride ourselves on honest open communication- no BS and no games. You want a price we'll give you one. Ask a question and if we don't know the answer we'll find out. We don't make stuff up. I make an honest living and all my staff has to abide by my rules!
For years I have driven and raced Mazda's products. From being a driver in the very first Pro Spec Miata race at Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca back in 2002 ( qualified 5th out of 72) to winning the E2 Class in a MX5 at the 2010 25 Hours of Thunder hill, I have a lot of seat time in Mazda cars and enjoy every minute behind the wheel.Buying and owning a car should be fun- see the difference a little enthusiasm makes, and thanks for your business!
Taz Harvey - Owner
Our services include trusted Mazda service, original Mazda parts, and financing to help our customers purchase the car of their dreams.Call Dublin Mazda or come visit us in person. We're conveniently located at 6363 Scarlett Court and look forward to helping you with your automotive needs.
