MANCHESTER -- Police photographer Richard Towle was determined to stay a safe distance away while capturing the raging seas of last week's storm on film. Be carefully avoided the beach and stayed near the Singing Beach bathhouse.
"All I know is I thought I was safe and the next thing I knew I felt water at my feet. It was moving at a pretty good clip, and I ended up inside the bathhouse with a door on top of me," Towle said.
On Thursday morning, Towle was recovering at his summer home in Weymouth, with more than 100 stitches in his leg and bandages on his head.
"Needless to say my video camera is not in too good shape," Towle said." He said he was trying to salvage the film, but wasn't sure it could be done.
Towle said he didn't sustain any broken bones, but if anyone wanted to take his picture, "I'd make a beautiful sight."
Towle, who takes photographs for town records, said in the past two big storms, including Hurricane Bob, he took pictures and thought if there was damage from this one, the town would undoubtedly have to apply for relief funds.
"I said to myself, I'm going to be safe. The next thing I knew...," Towle said.
He said the mammoth wave hit him at about 4:45, just at high tide, when it was still light out."
"I just remember getting swept off my feet. I didn't black out. All of the sudden I looked up and I could see a fluorescent light. I thought water and electricity and I got out of there. Somebody gave me a towel for my head," Towle said.
Not knowing how badly injured he was, just that his pants were nearly ripped off, he drove all the way from Singing Beach to a friend's house on Bridge Street.
Friends promptly took him to the emergency room at Beverly Hospital, where he said a nurse told him, "Well, you're not the only one, but you're the best beat up."
"Why I'm alive, I don't know," Towle said.
"This that I do for the town is for the love of it. I was trying to stay out of everybody's way. Afterwards I was going to go to White Beach and try to hook up with (Police Chief Ronald Ramos). Needless to day, I didn't."
Towle's brother amateur meteorologist Donald Towle said he knows of several people, including a 10-year-old girl, who "mis-estimated" the size of some of the waves."
"In a situation like that, a lot of waves that come in are about the same size. Every once in a while you have one come in from one direction, and another from the other direction.
"They meet and phase together so that the energy of two waves become one wave and they can be three or four feet higher," he said. "It's like a ricochet action when they join together."
Towle said he was a little embarrassed that the intensity of the storm took him off guard.
"I don't make the headlines very often. I'll be more careful next time."

Trips and Travelers
Visiting this unusual museum is like taking a walk through the materialisation of this society's spirit that, originally, held an enigmatic secrecy.
La Grande Loge de France: a Masonic treasure chest /
The 'Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite' is a masonic rite based on the Scottish system that was practiced in France in the mid-eighteenth century, primarily in the Paris and Bordeaux lodges. The Great Lodge derived from these, but it has an older affiliation with the fundamental principles of the first French Masonic Order.
In the Seventies, the Great Lodge decided to unveil (much for the world's delight) some of the mystery that has revolved around this group. They opened part of their private collections and archives to the public, and showed beautiful artefacts that ornate the Masonic room: swords, jewels, medals, and thousands of ritualistic objects that had been hidden from the world for two centuries.
To do this, the Grande Loge Museum serves several purposes: centralising and preserving documents that were stolen during the Nazi occupation of France, and sharing the Order's history with the public at large. They sought to reveal the complexity of their symbolism in an attempt to put an end to the satanic stereotypes they were once associated to. Nowadays, the museum also exhibits contemporary art installations made by initiated and non-initiated artists. Their art collections thus boasts of a masonic curatorship and an external one, and together they encompass the mysterious aura that surrounds this discrete institution.
However, just because they have made their ritualistic objects public, this does not mean that the non-masonic audience understands. What the museum does accomplish though, is to superficially include us in a symbolic and elegant mind that can enthrall our imagination. This museum, located in Paris, is completely unusual and they it doesn't have an entry fee. To gain access to the library, visitors must arrange an appointment beforehand. It's undoubtedly worthwhile to get a glance at this seductive secret society.Tagged: trips and travelers, masonry, secret societies

DIY Valentine's Day Decor
January 21st, 2014
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and so it seems like the perfect time to share this easy DIY Valentine's Day Decor post. I didn't want to have to go out and purchase anything as I typically do not decorate for Valentine's Day. So, my mission began as I rummaged through my office to find supplies that could possibly work to create some sort of DIY Valentine's Day Decor without spending any money! This is what I came up with for supplies…
I also used hot glue, scissors & white primer for this first project (which I accidentally forgot to put in the photos). I decided to make a DIY vase filled with paper feathers, paper arrows and paper hearts. I thought that it would be a perfect DIY Valentine's Day Decor project as it certainly feels a little Valentinesie (yes, I know that's not a real word, hehe) but doesn't feel like your typical Valentine's Day Decor.
The silver cylinder thing is actually an old bathroom cup or maybe toothbrush holder (not sure which one it's supposed to be) that I had laying around. I used my ever so trusty hot glue gun and glued the bottom of the bathroom cup to the top of the candle stick holder. I then brought it outside and gave it a couple coats of white primer. I wanted it to be a flat white, so I didn't even bother painting it.The final step of the DIY vase, was attaching the studded trim. I had that trim laying around from another project, so I measured out how much I needed, cut it and then just used my hot glue gun to attach it. Voila…vase was complete, all for $0!
The paper feathers are very simple to make.
1. Cut your piece of paper that you are using for the feather to the height that you desire the feather to be (from tip to tip) and then fold the end of the paper over.
2. Cut out the paper feather (or draw the shape first as I did). It doesn't have to be perfect as all feathers are different and it actually looks good having different shapes of feathers.
3. If you plan on adding glitter to your feathers, you can do this before you trim up the feathers or after. I prefer to do it before as it just seems easier to me.
4. Once you are are ready to make the "feathers," keep your feather folded in half and cut in your feather at an angle starting from the top tip and going all the way down to bottom.
5. Open up your feather and that's it, you're done.
To make your paper hearts and arrows, you do it the same way as you did the feathers (step 1 above). I'm sure most of you have made a heart this way before. In case you were unsure of how I made the arrow, here's a picture showing the shape that I drew and then I cut it out and unfolded it to get the full shape of the arrow.
One I had all my shapes cut out, I took some skewers that I had left over from a sunburst mirror project and glued them on the seams of the backs of my paper feathers, arrows and hearts . I then filled my DIY vase with sand, topped it with fake snow and put my skewers in. There you have it, project #1 for my DIY Valentine's Day Decor post.
This second DIY Valentine's Day Decor project is so easy, I mean real easy…real, real, real easy…do you get how easy it is? The supplies that I used for this project were all that you see in the below photo (plus my silhouette cameo, which I used to cut out the shapes that I needed, but you could also use scissors).
Here are the very detailed and extremely hard to understand directions (lol):
1. Cut your paper to the desired width and length.
2. Cut a heart out of it (or any shape that you want).
3. Tape the paper together on the back side of the candle and you're finished!
Mission Accomplished: Two DIY Valentine's Day Decor projects that cost no money to make (only used stuff that I had in my home).
Clearly, you will not want to burn your candle with the paper at the same height as the top of the candle as that's a fire hazard. For me, I just plan on using them for decor purposes only and will not end up burning them until after Valentine's Day when I take the paper off.
Well, that's it for my DIY Valentine's Day Decor post. I hope you enjoyed and learned something. What's your favorite DIY Valentine's Day Decor that you've ever made? Do you typically decorate for Valentine's Day?

Top 5 Dead Or Alive: "He's Just Like Jadakiss W/ The Way He Can Put Words Together"
Friday, Feb 24, 2012 12:05AM
[Each week, SOHH asks two entertainment personalities to name their Top 5 rappers of all-time. To make things tricky, we've created a "Hall of Fame" of emcees (see right) who are universally respected and therefore may not be mentioned. After Erica Mena dished out her fave five, "Love & Hip Hop" star Yandy Smith gives the scoop on her top picks.]
Missy Elliott. Missy is in my top five because she has constantly re-invented herself. She has set the standard for female rappers above and beyond anything I've ever seen in a female rapper. It's not because she's selling sex or overly sexy, it's based on lyrical and solid content that she's been able to maintain who she is. She's doing something different.
Busta Rhymes. Busta is surely on my list for his longevity and the way he also re-invents himself. He stays relevant. Always. He can get on a track with a 15 year-old or he could get on a track with a 45 year-old. He will bring the hotness to whoever and he can attach himself to any demographic and sound dope.
Joell Ortiz. He makes you feel the music and he's just dope lyrically. His delivery is dope.
Jadakiss. Jadakiss is slick and he puts things together in ways that's so clear but in such a slick way. You'll listen to him and be like, "Oh sh*t! That's hot!" He's just slick with it and puts words together that are just meant to be together and you'd never would have thought go together. He's dope.
Juelz Santana. If you remember, him and Lil Wayne were neck in neck and then he just fell back for a second. I've been to his studio a few times and I hear the stuff he has and I'm like, "Juelz, you have some incredible music. It's just got to get out there." He's dope. He's like Jadakiss with the way he can put things together and you'll be like, "Oh snap! Did he say that?" Juelz is dope.

Victims come face-to-face with their offenders
If your house had been burgled, can you imagine being offered the chance to come face to face with the person who did it?
That's what more than a hundred victims and offenders have been doing in the West Midlands. It's a new approach called restorative justice. The pilot scheme has worked so well, it could now be rolled out to other areas.

Click here to register online now!
If this ghoulish event still spooks you, keep reading for more details…
What is Cyclocross?
Cyclocross is a form of bicycle racing. Races typically take place in the fall and winter and consist of many laps of a short (1-2 mile) course featuring pavement, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles requiring the rider to quickly dismount, carry the bike while navigating the obstruction. Races are generally between 30 minutes to an hour with the distance varying depending on conditions.
- Race 1: October 8th
- Race 2: October 15th
- Race 3: October 22nd and a part of the Roanoke Outdoor Circus and Virginia Cyclocross Series

The pilot program will run every Saturday for three months beginning May 4. The shuttle will run every 15 minutes from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. from the parking garage to three stops in Old Town: 6th Street, 4th Street and 2nd Street.
The trolley will be run by Brewen's Empire Trolley, which also provides trolley service throughout Temecula and Temecula Valley Wine Country. And for the first three months, the trolley will be paid for by ads from Old Town merchants.
The pilot period will cost $2,250 per month for Saturday morning service, said Amy Brewen of Brewen's Empire Trolley.
Should the service continue past July, Brewen estimates it would cost $4,500 per month to run the shuttle from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
An expanded program would see the shuttle traveling through Old Town three days per week on two, six-hour shifts. That level of service, Brewen estimated, would cost $9,850 a month.

Well it might just end up with have the linebacking core of the Steelers from 2006 only a few years older and hopefully a few years more mature (Porter). Signs are pointing to Porter landing in AZ according to DDNN (Darnell Dockett News Network branch of OCNN). If Porter does sign and Foote comes in for a visit and the Card offer him a decent salary can Foote resist hooking back up with Haggans & Porter? I am calling my shot now, starting linebackers are as follows for 2010 Arizona Cardinals. OLB - Joey Porter, ILB Gerald Hayes, ILB Larry Foote, OLB Clark Haggans.
Question is whether or not they can all still bring it.

Mike Trout's Timetable
Every now and then ESPN has a decent article. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. "I don't like hearing Mickey Mantle's name when people talk about Mike, but shoot, the kid looks like him,'' Bane says. "He's got '80' power, and he'd be more than an 80 runner if you could go that high. What's the ceiling for guys like that? I've heard people say, 'If he has a lousy career, he'll be Kevin McReynolds.' And Kevin McReynolds was a heck of a player.''

Potential contributors understood the challenges of the Republican-drawn district and were being pressured to support Democrats in competitive U.S. Senate elections. At the beginning of October, the campaign decided to use some of its precious resources to pay for a poll. Cook didn't have money to hire a traditional pollster to pay for a thorough survey, which could cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Instead, the candidate paid $3,000 to Public Policy Polling to conduct a shorter survey, conducted with interactive voice response technology instead of live callers. The plan was to demonstrate viability in order to encourage outside Democratic groups to get involved or, at a minimum, raise enough money for one final cable television ad buy.
Unsurprisingly, the results weren't spectacular. Despite months of campaigning, Cook still suffered from a significant name identification gap and so the campaign released partial and selective results in a fundraising email.
"[I]f we just amplify my message, we're looking at a race that's too close to call: Wittman 46% and Cook 43%, with many still undecided," Adam explained in a subsequent fundraising email.
The initial ballot certainly was much worse, but releasing those numbers would likely have sucked all of the air out of the race. In the end, it may not have mattered. According to Cook, an average fundraising email yielded between $700 and $1,000. The email with the polling numbers brought in about $2,500 and the effort lost money compared to the cost of the survey.
Overall, money wasn't likely the defining factor of the race. Wittman outspent Cook $765,000 to $180,000, but in 2010, Democratic nominee Krystal Ball outspent the congressman $1 million to $972,000 and still came up short.
In the end, Cook lost 56 percent to 41 percent, about six points better than Ball's 35 percent showing in 2010 and about 5 points less than Obama and Kaine did in the district in 2012.
The Next Step
After the election, Cook's next step was not immediately evident, since all losing candidates in the 1st District of Virginia are apparently not guaranteed a job co-hosting a national cable television show. Cook will probably run for something again someday, but it would need to "fit into the rest of my life," he explained.
Cook and his wife Melody simply can't afford another campaign right now. For the last race, he left his job as general counsel at the Social Security Administration and the couple lived off of Melody's salary and burned through most of the $25,000 they saved up while Adam served in Afghanistan before he became a candidate.
"I was campaigning full-time, but I think the real sacrifice was made by Melody," Adam said.
His wife worked full-time, was the campaign's graphic designer, and spent every weekend knocking on doors and being a surrogate at events. She even made fundraising calls—"the single most painful part of campaigning."
"She was a rock star," Cook said. "I very literally couldn't have done any of it without her."
Along with family considerations, Cook is also considering whether any Democrat can win Virginia's 1st District.
"It's so hard to separate yourself from what's going on nationally," he explained.
But that would be required to win a Republican leaning seat along with what Cook called "a perfect storm," at least until long-term demographic changes in western Prince William County make the district more diverse and potentially more competitive.
For now, Cook still has the political bug. He put his campaign email list to use to solicit support for fellow Democrat Mark Herring who is running for attorney general this year and will likely look for the opportunities to help others. Next time, maybe more people will do the same for him.

0Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are expecting their second child!
Frankly, I didn't think Frozen was as great as everyone else makes out (I mean, it's good, but nothing spectacular), but I still love Kristen Bell. She's adorable! She's talented! She loves sloths! What's not to like?
In any case, here's another reason to love Kristen Bell: adorable babies! She and husband Dax Shepard already have a daughter, Lincoln, who's just over a year old and now they're reading to bring baby #2 into the family!
From Entertainment Tonight:
Kristen Bell is pregnant with her second child with husband Dax Shepard, ET can exclusively confirm!
Bell, 33, and Shepard, 39, are already parents to daughter Lincoln Bell Shepard, 1.
"I can confirm that Kristen and Dax are expecting their second child and a sibling for Lincoln," a spokesperson for the couple tells ET. "The whole family is beyond excited."
Cute! Good for them – congrats to the happy couple.

2Kristen Bell got naked on the beach for 'Allure'
Kristen Bell is a new mom, so a lot of attention has been paid as of late to her "post-baby body" and how much weight she can lose in a certain amount of time. Well, Kristen wanted to put her money where her mouth is when it comes to body confidence, so she did what we all do when we're having a good day: she got naked on a beach for a major magazine.
As she told Allure:
"I talk a big game about being comfortable in my skin. I wanted to put my money where my mouth was."
Well, good for her, I guess? I like Kristen Bell, so fair play or whatever, but the whole nudes thing is kinda tacky and unnecessary (for anyone – not her in particular). It's nonstop! Alas, the whole "no clothes = sexy" thing will be with us forevermore, I fear, so I suppose we need to just accept it. She does look great, so good for her for feeling it, too.

Amy Poehler never knows what length of dress to wear. She always finds one that is exactly the wrong length and cuts her off. This would be so much cuter if it was short.

1Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Had the 'World's Worst Wedding'
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard finally tied the knot earlier this month, but it wasn't the grand affair you might have come to expect from Hollywood stars. In fact, they exchanged vows at the Beverly Hills courthouse, which doesn't sound all that romantic or special (but sounds AWESOME because I would do the same – fuck a big ceremony! What a waste of money!)
Dax Shepard was on Jimmy Kimmel's show on Tuesday night, where he admitted that they may have had the "world's worst wedding" – at least as far as outsiders are concerned. It was perfect for them, however.
"So we went to the Beverly Hills Court House and all in, with fuel to get there, $142 out the door. Friends of ours came to the courthouse, and it was just Kristen and I at this lonely Court House, so they brought us this cake afterwards.
"'World's Worst Wedding.' How many people can say they threw the 'World's Worst Wedding'?"

1Kristen Bell Got Married At The Beverly Hills Courthouse
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard got quietly and spontaneously married at the Beverly Hills courthouse. Apparently they weren't planning to wed yesterday (October 17) — they just wanted to get their marriage license — but somehow, it happened. From TMZ:
The couple had a no-frills ceremony at the Beverly Hills County Clerk Office. We're told there was a photographer present, and Kristen was crying.
According to eye witnesses, Kristen and Dax went to the clerk office just to get their marriage license — but when a court employee offered to marry them on the spot, they agreed … and conducted the ceremony in a nearby courtroom.
Well, that's sweet. They just had a baby, too. A daughter they named Lincoln. So many damn celebrity weddings lately. Rose McGowan got married earlier this week.

Albany--A south Georgia soup kitchen struggling to stay open is getting some much needed help from some caring children.
A month ago, we first told you how the Tifton Soup Kitchen had to reduce its hours due to lack of funding. Since our story first aired, the kitchen has been flooded with food donations.
And on Thursday, third graders attending Annie Belle Clark Primary School did their part to also help out the soup kitchen.
They may be little, but their hearts are big.
"We want to do anything we can to help the people who don't have as much as we have," says third grader, Mason Manning.
Manning is one of thirty-five third graders who's helping the Tifton Soup Kitchen feed those less fortunate.
"Christmas is also about giving," says Manning.
"We have everything that we want. And all the other people really don't have anything to eat. Their Christmas present would be to get a meal," Hannah Helwig.
Students like Helwig did more than just fix plates of food for the hungry. She along with fellow classmates also spent several weeks collecting food supplies the kitchen desperately needed.
"I hope that it really helps the soup kitchen a lot," she says.
In the end, they collected and delivered over eleven boxes. "Lots of cake mixes. Lots of muffin mixes, sugar, and flour," says Susan Nimmo.
Nimmo organized this special field trip to teach her students its much better to give than it is to receive. "We did have our Christmas lists out and it was a lot of 'I want, I want, I want.' So I thought let's turn the tables and experience the other side," says Nimmo.
And for that, soup kitchen director, Betty Willis, is grateful. "It just makes me feel so good that the kids are concerned about their neighbors," says Willis.
Not only did these students learn an important lesson in community service, but they say they've also learned a few other things:
"Not to be so greedy and have to have everything that I want and be nice to people that don't have as much as I do," says Helwig.
You can still donate to the food kitchen. You can reach them at 229-382-8438. Or you can send your donations to the following address: Tifton Soup Kitchen, P.O. Box 2203, Tifton, GA, 31793.

1230 Hendricks Avenue
Jacksonville, FL 32207
Barbara Denman
LEESBURG—Learning of a $642,107 budget shortfall in 2012 Cooperative Program receipts, the State Board of Missions approved 2013 funding cuts for the Baptist College of Florida, Florida Baptist Children's Homes and Florida Baptist Witness and the elimination of four Florida Baptist Convention board-elected staff during the Feb. 7 meeting at Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center.
A new budget incorporating these cuts will be presented to the Board in May that reduces the Florida Baptist Cooperative Program budget for 2013 from $31.6 million to $31 million.
The action to reduce the funding to the agencies and staff according to Executive Director John Sullivan was based on three factors as the Convention prepares its 2014 budget: a commitment not to deficit spend; final funding reductions by the North American Mission Board on jointly funded emphases; and the commitment to increase the percentage of funds earmarked to the SBC Cooperative Program.
In 2011 at the urging of the Great Commission Resurgence task force, Florida Baptists voted to increase their giving through the SBC Cooperative Program from 40 percent to 50 percent, evenly dividing gifts in half from Florida churches between state and national mission causes. The State Board of Missions created a seven-year plan to accomplish that, earmarking 41.5 percent of the budget for 2013, with the goal of increasing the percentage each year.
Yet throughout this time, giving by Florida Baptist churches has decreased, from $41 million in 2007 to $31 million in 2012 forcing the Convention to steadily cut staff and expenses.
The action taken during this meeting was the first time the agencies and institutions have received a decrease in their Cooperative Program percentage funding, while the Convention has downsized its staff by more than 30 percent or 61 employees. As approved by the Board, BCF will receive a $101,150 cut in its operating budget for the current year; FBCH will receive a $79,080 decrease; and the Witness gave up $19,770.
Sullivan pledged to each agency, however, that if budget overages in excess of the original $31.6 million are received in 2013, the money will be reinstituted at the end of the year.
After learning that according to the Convention's seven-year plan, 50 percent of any overage would be sent to the Southern Baptist Convention, Dennis Littleton of Palm Coast made a motion to "consider revising the current convention mandate to split the budget overages 50/50."
That motion, along with an amendment for the Board to readdress the entire 50/50 percentage proposal in light of the current financial crisis, made by Jack Roland of Ocala, sparked an hour-long debate among Board members. The amendment subsequently failed to garner a majority of support.
"We are cutting back staff members, we are cutting back funding to the Children's Homes and to our college," said Roland. "At what point do we recommend readdressing the 50/50 issue and the shared ministry issues and those things that are affecting what is going on?"
"So the Convention will understand where we are going and what appears to be a downward spiral," he urged.
Rob Arnold of Orlando said he was concerned that "if churches ramp up their giving, anything over $31 million, half of that goes out of the state. I struggle with that," he explained, adding, "I feel like we are beginning to cut into muscle."
Walter West of St. Augustine noted that the 50/50 commitment was "based on the commitment of churches to increase their support of the Florida Baptist Convention. It seems to me in structuring what we are doing that everything has been based upon the accountability only going on the side of the Florida Baptist Convention."
Curtis Clark of Tallahassee said he voted for the decision to split Cooperative Program 50/50 during the 2010 state convention because he wanted more dollars allocated for the international mission field.
The split was "contingent on greater cooperation of our churches," Clark said. "It's not the economy; it's not the 50/50 split, it's that our churches are not cooperating as they have done in the past."
Mike Tatem of Lake City disagreed. "We have been mandated by the churches to go to 50/50 split," he said. "The implication of the mandate of the churches is to have a smaller, leaner, more effective Convention doing the work of what we are called to do."
"Listening to the pastors that really want this to happen, they want the Convention to do less with less," Tatem noted. "They are not going to give until the Convention bleeds. I know that it hurts when we cut."
"We talk about why churches aren't giving, if we go back and say we need to revise the 50/50 we are going to lose a whole lot of prospective donors because they will see the same product in the area of missions being put out there that we have always put out there. That is possibly part of the concern in the reduction of giving."
Tatem referred to earlier comments made by Sullivan that despite the cut in the workforce, Florida Baptists still lead the SBC in baptisms and church planting. Even with a "reduced budget of 10 million and 30 percent of staff we are still that effective. How much more out there can be cut so we are still 50/50?"
Mark Coleman of Davie expressed concern "if we give the Convention an indication or smell," that the Board was reconsidering the 50/50 split, it "would create a distrust" which would "affect the confidence of the churches" and create a "potential division."
Clayton Cloer of Orlando cautioned the Board from making "a knee jerk reaction" without analyzing giving by the churches.
Citing statistics provided by the Florida Baptist Convention staff, he noted that 2,050 Florida Baptist churches gave through the Cooperative Program in 2012, compared to 2013 in the prior year, an increase of 37 churches.
Also, he said, 829 churches or 42 percent increased their giving in 2012, while 58 percent decreased their giving. Churches showing a decrease, he explained, could have actually increased their percentage giving but because of fallen receipts in their own struggling churches, their total giving is less.
"We are basing it on the assumption people aren't stepping up. There may be in fact 829 churches that are stepping up and it could be these other 1,100 churches that are on decline is because their total church budget is on decline to begin with."
The reconsideration of the 50/50 split, he said will "cost us great momentum, I think, hurt and trust among the whole convention because we have said in almost a unified vote that we were going to move toward 50/50."
At the conclusion of the discussion, the Board agreed to reconsider the overage distribution; but the amendment to address the 50/50 split failed—39 opposed; 28 in favor.
Addressing the Board, Sullivan added, "I hope that no one has the misunderstanding that this Board, this staff or this executive director is opposed to going to 50/50 in Cooperative Program giving. You have misunderstood if you believe that I think there is anything other than movement toward the 50/50 process."
But Sullivan noted that while some additional budget revisions may be necessary "if we continue in the current situation, 50/50 is still the goal."
Following the debate, the Board adopted a recommendation to express appreciation and pray for Sullivan as he "makes difficult administrative decisions to balance diminishing budget resources against the growing mission priorities in Florida."

Dr. Flowers is a wonderful doctor!!! One thing about this article, however is incorrect, and we were discussing this with Dr. Flowers, just this morning... The lab at JCH has all new, state of the art equipment for labs. We do everything that is commonly done on site at local hospitals. We have a brand new urinalysis machine, as well as a brand new Siemens Chemistry Analyzer. Our coagulation EXL machine is used by quite a few hospitals around. Our CBC analyzer is also brand new... We are adding some drug testing to the chem. analyzer so time will be shortened in an emergency as per Dr. Flowers' request.
Something I've noticed about JCH in Edna, is the wait time is shortened. If you would like an outpatient lab done, we do it at YOUR convenience. Weekends included.
Kudos to Dr. Flowers!!! He has an awesome RAINDANCE, too!!!April 21, 2010 at 4:44 p.m.
It's Uncle Jeff! Miss you!April 20, 2010 at 9:30 a.m.
One of the finest, kindest, benevolent and competent physicans I ever had the pleasure of being a patient of. That drawl, those boots, that comforting hand on my shoulder along with his patience, humor and big heart always made me feel better no matter what the diagnosis. I cried when he left private practice to continue at Citizens. There will never be another gentle giant of a physician like Doc Flowers. He has some mighty big shoes, ah, boots that I figure will never be able to be filled with the same down-home horse sense and compassion. Not only is Doctor Flowers an amazing physician and old time healer, ths man is a wonderful testimony to rearing, providing for and loving, not only his biological children but the many children he and his wife fostered and adopted. Kudos to Victoria Advocate for this interview and update on a wonderful, wonderful human being.April 20, 2010 at 7:20 a.m.
its a fact,would be rare indeed to find another so careing and kind with a sense of humor that wont quit-almost makes ya want to feel bad just so you can go shoot the bull with him.edna,indeed is honored to have such a grand doctor.April 20, 2010 at 6:56 a.m.
Dr Flowers is one of the best doctors I've known. I wish we could have more around like him. All these young Drs could take a lesson from Dr Flowers.April 20, 2010 at 6:42 a.m.
I could not believe what I saw (Dr. Flowes) in the paper, what a surprise. Dr. Flowers is a very good Dr. and Victoria misses him.I think I need to use Edna ER.April 20, 2010 at 5:20 a.m.
What a great article. I had no idea Dr. Flowers was practicing medicine. Wish he was in private practice. Still very handsome. Thank you for posting, this is really enjoyable to read.April 20, 2010 at 1:28 a.m.

Ronan's Chief of Police is suspended for 15 years, and stripped of most of his state law enforcement certifications, after a state board determined he falsified an application for his son to attend the Montana Law Enforcement Academy.
The Public Safety Officer Standards and Training Council, or POST handed down the punishment to Dan Wadsworth last week, after finding he signed paperwork certifying his son, Trevor Wadsworth was a sworn Ronan police officer and qualified to attend the academy.
POST found Trevor Wadsworth wasn't sworn in until mid-2011, after he already left the academy, because he wasn't able to prove he worked at the Ronan Police Department. Wadsworth argues everything they did was under the advise of the county attorney, and the case was never properly investigated.
"I don't care if i have to put another $2,000 into this, as long as we get to a point where they're not going to do that, and railroad another police officer in the state of Montana ever again.
Wadsworth said he plans to appeal the suspension.

- Studio: Yari Film Group Releasing
- Release Date: Feb 23, 2007
- Starring: Bridget Moynahan, Heather Graham, Tom Cavanagh
- Summary: A romantic comedy about a brother, a sister and the girl of their dreams. (Yari Film Group)
- Director: Sue Kramer
- Genre(s): Comedy, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 19
Mixed: 11 out of 19
Negative: 8 out of 19
While Kramer's well-conceived screenplay features much amusing dialogue, there's a forced quality to the proceedings that makes the comic premise seem more artificial than it needs to be.
Some of it works, most of it doesn't. But the real problem of the movie is that it's so utterly lacking in freshness and originality. This is exactly the kind of formulaic indie gay comedy that was so overdone in the '80s and '90s that it became a film festival cliché.
Mildly diverting but slight, the screwball comedy Gray Matters changes it up, more or less creating its own genre, the curveball farce.
Kramer shows zero feeling for the nuances of a midlife sexual awakening.
For all of 10 minutes, Gray Matters looks like it might have accomplished the impossible: uncovering a romantic-comedy scenario audiences haven't seen a million times before.
Every once in a while you catch glimpses of originality and see what Gray Matters might have been if it hadn't gone soft and safe.
Coming from the strangely vacuous Graham, in a Manhattan this preposterous, the staid social message is as ludicrous as its surroundings.

Herein I make my (simple) case for why Masai should be in the running for this award:
- Lost 3 players to China, all former starters/important rotation players (Smith, Martin, Chandler)
- Jettisoned Felton for Andre Miller (Felton is playing like garbage this year by all accounts)
- Acquired Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer, both now important rotation players, for only a second round pick
- Picked Kenneth Faried and Jordan Hamilton in the draft, acquired Julyan Stone as undrafted rookie
- Extended Nene, extended Afflalo, extended Gallinari, extended Koufus, all with reasonable contracts
Most teams that lose a player of Carmelo's caliber get significantly worse for a long while, not significantly better, as the Nuggets have. Ujiri has made the most of the assets he got in the NY trade and continues to make sound GM decisions that improve the Nuggets. I'm thrilled he's GM, and he should be as much in the conversation as any GM is.

Brandi Carlile - ABC2, Glasgow - Saturday 19th April 2008For the uninitiated, Brandi Carlile is a 26 year old singer songwriter, hailing from Ravensdale, Seattle on the west coast of the USA. Her style is heavily influenced by country and bluegrass music but add in some blues and soul and wrap it all up with a rock ribbon and you've still hardly scratched the surface of this amazing talent.
I first heard of her back in 2006, when one of her songs was used as backing music on an episode of "Grey's Anatomy'". Within minutes of the show ending, by the power of the internet, I had hunted down the track in question and ordered her self titled debut album from an American website. Since then I have been hooked and the release, in April 2007, of her sophomore album "The Story" only added to the admiration. Now, one year on, the album finally gets a UK outing and this show is part of her first headlining tour of the UK in support of the release.
Backed by twins, and co-writers of many of her songs, Phil and Tim Hanseroth on guitars, plus the services of her drummer and cellist (not something you see often at a gig!), the sound created on stage by Brandi and the band was something truly wonderful to behold.
Kicking off with the opening tracks from both her albums to date, 'Late Morning Lullaby' and Follow', these tracks showcased Brandi's vocals perfectly and the hugely appreciative crowd spurred her on through a varied set of ballads and rockers, which demonstrated a vocal talent which was, by turns, both heartbreakingly fragile and tender and then devastatingly raw and powerful.
Her own catalogue of songs, although only two full albums old, is already bursting with potential classics and my highlights of the night could run to the whole set. However, forcing myself to choose... the stripped down country of "Have You Ever" was authentic and very effective, the ballad "What Can I Say", the aforementioned song which started it all for me, sounded even better live. New album highlight "My Song" nearly blew the roof off the place, and new song "Love Songs" is an absolutely beautiful track which signals the great things still to come for this girl. Last, but definitely not least - "The Story", which was the song I was waiting for all night and it didn't disappoint. Quite simply, the song is a gem, a future classic, and went straight into my list of all-time favourite songs from the first time I heard it. That song, much like Brandi's voice, is something I will surely never tire of hearing. Legendary.
As if her own songs weren't enough she also scattered four cover versions throughout her set, brilliant choices which to any true music fan are required listening - starting with a truly stunning rendition of the first two verses of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (simply performed by herself at the keyboards), this was followed later in the set by Radiohead's "Creep" (sung with the passion of at least ten Thom Yorke's), then later still, a hugely entertaining and energetic version of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues". And as if that wasn't enough, the final song of the night was another solo performance, just Brandi and her guitar providing us with a raw, powerful version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". Now this song has been covered many, many times in recent years, but never quite so well and as heartfelt as this and it brought this fantastic show to a fitting and emotional end.
Once the show was over, despite giving her all during the 90 minute set, Brandi was soon back out front, signing autographs and chatting to fans - a nice touch that very few performers bother with these days, and for me, a chance to meet and chat with, what I hope will one day be, a well deserved huge star. She is a unique, genuine talent that deserves to be heard by a much wider audience and given the proper exposure, there is no reason why this can't happen. If you haven't heard her already, check her out - you won't be disappointed.

BRITS 2008 - THE OFFICIAL MIKEY RANTSo the annual embarrassment to the British music industry has came and went, and I felt it only appropriate to comment on the highs and lows of the occasion: -
Firstly, the ominous selection of the unpredictable Osbourne clan was actually genius - in fact, it was probably the slickest presentation in quite a few years (not that THAT's much to go by, but still...!) and Kelly Osbourne (looking WELL fit, even if she DOES have the jawline of David Coulthard!) provided the comedy moment of the night by telling perennial arseholes the Arctic Monkeys (i'm NOT a fan) to "F**k off the stage". Class.
As for the highlights - KYLIE (for it is she!) winning Best International Female, and her fab performance of new single "Wow" was tops for me, closely followed by LEONA LEWIS' effortlessly flawless rendition of "Bleeding Love" - what a stunner. MARK RONSON running through his set was enjoyable - although I still prefer hearing Amy Winehouse to seeing her. KATE NASH picking up an award was a pleasant surprise. Frankly, she gives me the horn... and finally, Fearne Cotton's presence is always a highlight. Mmmm.
And the lowlights - the Arctic Monkeys (i'm NOT a fan) conning everyone into believing their own hype and carrying off two awards that should have had better homes. The Arctic Monkeys (i'm SO not a fan) dressed like a bunch of twonks showing themselves to be the arrogant immature kids that they are on stage. Its NOT rock'n'roll, it's not even roll. Mika - please don't sing live often, its not a good idea and ruins your otherwise poptastic tunes. Beth Ditto - have a wash love, what a state. And WHO let the Klaxons onstage with Rihanna? Killing the melody of 'Umbrella' stone dead was NOT a good plan. And neither was dressing Rihanna in two foot heels and a duvet...and finally, Chris Moyles - why oh why? Twonk.
BUT as with all awards shows the main problem I have is that the awards never go to the right people. As far as I am concerned, awards should reward success and Leona Lewis had both the biggest selling single AND album last year - yet no recognition given. Rihanna spent 10 weeks at number one, probably the biggest bona-fide hit for several years - plus three more hits and a top 10 album, recognition - NONE!! Its a joke!
Lastly, if awards are meant to reward success, then why create an award to give to people who have yet to have success? It makes NO sense - and, whilst I am a fan and have no doubt she WILL have major success this year - Adele did NOTHING last year, so....why receive a Brit?!?
At least the finale was a well deserved hat doffing to Sir Paul McCartney, but I always feel that these Outstanding Achievment awards should warrant a half hour at the end of the show, not "three songs and your off"!!
All in all, a reasonable show, better than some in recent memory - i'll give it a 6/10! Comments please, always welcome!

Canon EOS 550D software and 10.8 Mountain Lion
I recently installed the Mountain Lion DP on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro and I love it. Sadly my Canon EOS software Utility will not work. I try to launch it and it says "Cannot be used with this version of the Operating System". Is there a fix or a way to get it to run? I downloaded the 10.7 Lion Update Installer but it gives me the issue "Don't have enough privilege to install. Log in as administrator and try again." I currently am the Admin on my mac so I have no clue why its saying this unless its just the buggy Dev Preview. Any ideas?
