RVV010 CAREY LAMPRECHT & RICHARD WEBB - "The Angel of Ward 5"
"Songs composed and performed under archways, in the street, in schoolyards, and other places with nice reverb to connect with the spirits who listen to music in such places. Carey (who plays with many bands including Jolie Holland) played the violin and Richard (currently making music with Lullabies for Falling Empires and sound art with Mari Matsutoya) played the guitar. Recorded on a panasonic rq-2102 in Seattle in 1996. Thanks for listening to these memories." Richard Webb, January 2013. To be released early Spring.
Listen: "The church of Al Green"

"You Want Your Man"
To be released September 2012
"THE BORE" by Brendan Kerwin is now complete!
Another sample: White Pine
Embedded in rushing tape noise— the soft but suffocating sadness of Kerwin's compositions slowly creep in.
When he composed and recorded these songs in Asheville, NC he captured the poetic yearning every young man pines for. Few have the depth of intuition to convert such delicate emotions into a beautiful and haunting release such as this.
At times there are echoes of Elliot Smith, Kurt Cobain, Townes Van Zandt and Nick Drake— all the martyred saints of Kerwin's youth. He struggles with his inheritance but only threatens to fall into convention. Throughout the release the decay of the cassettes he recorded on, the soft warble of birds in the landscape and his shuffling, jumping and shimmering guitar keep these heavy songs from feeling flat.
At its best the tape is like Gerard Manely Hopkins' or Oscar Wilde's words resounding softly over ancient hills.

Why be like the competition?
John Dvorak, in this column for MarketWatch, asks an important question that I have asked myself on occasion: Why do newspapers strive to be like other newspapers?
In the marketplace of news, in which national and international news are available to anyone anytime, why do local newspapers, especially ones the size of the Savannah Morning News (circulation 50,000), continue to run news stories that everyone already knows about. Why is there so much redundancy in journalism? As Dvorak writes:
The only papers or news organizations that can expect to survive will be those with lots of original content available only at their individual sites. The operations that rely more on universally available news feeds will be at the mercy of a fickle public -- one that doesn't care where they read a particular story, especially if it is the exact same story with the exact same headline.
Why bother providing information that can be more easily accessed via CNN, et al.? What's the point of redundancy? What's the real value to the reader? Shouldn't newspapers be doing everything possible to not be like the others? Have we ever heard of branding?
At the same time, newspaper are cutting newsroom jobs, handicapping their ability to generate unique local content. They rely increasingly on wire stories, which are, of course, the kinds of stories everyone with internet access and 24/7 cable news already knows about.
Again, Dvorak:
The wire services used to provide local papers with a wide range of stories that local editors could use to enliven their news mix.
Over time, many newspaper owners saw the savings they could realize from loading up on wire stories while minimizing their original editorial content.
Once the Internet arrived, this model was dead, as the Net revealed that many newspapers weren't actually contributing anything new or unique. The fact that people all over the country subscribe to the New York Times, rather than to a local paper, says it all.
Granted, this is a business-minded approach to journalism, not one made by journalists. But in the absence of a business approach that works, perhaps this is one that should gain traction. In a marketplace in which there is so much same-y information, doesn't it make sense that the publication that offers interesting, long-form, investigative, one-of-a-kind reporting, design and mutli-media be the one people would naturally gravitate toward, because all that can't be found elsewhere?
The choice, it seems, is this: Either newspapers, especially small- to mid-sized papers, shift from redundancy to uniqueness or they inspired what Dvorak notes as the current phenomenon of "too many newspapers."
Once a reader hits a stale site, they're not likely to hit it again.
Why should they? There are now plenty of news sites to choose from. I would argue that there are too many newspapers.
The scene has changed from one of minimonopolies to a sector that's crowded and hypercompetitive.

The real drawback for the arts, when it comes to the local-news-is-king business model that is coming to dominate the bigger dailies, is that it kills arts coverage.
Movies, TV, pop and classical music CDs, books -- all of that is, more or less corporate and nationwide. Ergo, in this scenario, unless there's sufficient local activity in those arts -- and frequently, there isn't -- then there's little reason for much of an arts staff or arts section.
The idea that, say, the local classical music critic might have something original to say about the latest Placido Domingo CD is not a consideration. Without enough of a local TV industry or theater community to bother with, those beats get killed or cobbled together under one arts writer-editor-critic or covered by wire stories.
As for the argument that people buy the NYTimes all over the country, and that's proof of Mr. Dvorak's thesis -- it's bullshit. Only people of a certain economic and educated kind buy the NYTimes all over the country. The Times deliberately set out to snare that audience, and the mantra used to be that the Times would sell basically within 5 miles (or 10 or whatever) of any place with a Saks store. In short, college-educated, upper-middle-class- to upper-class people are more alike from Florida to Oregon than they are like their blue-collar neighbors.
Many big dailies began to look alike because they were all striving to be the same thing -- the NYTimes. Mr. Dvorak would take it as evidence for his argument that, despite all the bewailing over the fate of newspapers, small-to-medium-sized dailies are generally doing very well, thank you. And he's right insofar as they stress local content.
But take a look at what those dailies do with arts coverage and see if that's anything you want to advocate.
Much of this discussion over the past several posts presupposes the average consumer is endlessly waiting for breaking news and is obsessed with that media which provides the best source.
I would submit that historically what most consumers wanted, in markets where there was more than one newspaper, was their favorite comic strips. I realize this is an unfamiliar concept to many people since newspapers have broken this important bond a long time ago for a variety of idiotic reasons, but I would like to cite a few examples.
Back in the 50's when the Washington Post bought out the Washington Herald which was a Joe McCarthy supporting newspaper, they kept the majority of their readers because they brought over all of their comics.
I forget the book where this was cited, but a long time later while in college when I stayed over at a friend's house, she insisted in the morning I get what was generally considered a journalistically inferior paper because of a certain comic strip. I was of course miffed a bit because of the journalism but mainly because I felt the comics in the other paper superior (due specifically to the previous citation) and finally, since I normally write about arts in my blog, this from the late Chicago arts critic Claudia Cassidy, apparently Gertrude Stein used to complain that she had to buy two copies of the International Herald Tribune because Picasso and his lover at the time both demanded to be the first one to read a strip called 'The Katzenjammer Kids".
I have heard other similar stories of much more recent vintage, but my point is that once upon a time not that long ago, most people read the front page and then dove for the comic strips. The papers as I mentioned started treating them like excess baggage and once it became a matter of getting just news newspapers lost to nearly everyone else.
By the way one of the problems with the so-called new media is that when people do searches they can gain a great deal of information about the subject for which they are looking, but what newspapers provided-back when they were written for those who were literate-was information you were looking for placed next to information you were not. You might search the paper for something in particular, but you then went on to read the rest of it and thereby gained information you didn't know you were interested in. The internet tends to work against this even while providing a great deal of depth and up-to the minute information on that which interests the individual searcher.

The Atlanta Braves had a perfect opportunity to climb near the top of the National League East, but instead lost two of three games against the league-leading Philadelphia Phillies.
I blame it on Bobby Cox's insistence that he pitch to Ryan Howard after he was powering balls over the fence in the first two games. The Braves had some decent pitching outings in the series, but the Phillies were a tad bit better.
Walking Howard could have saved the Braves some runs and earned them a win more in this series.
I will have more on this later tonight.

Lisa Madigan: Illinois counties can allow same-sex marriages now
BY LEEANN SHELTON Staff Reporter March 5, 2014 12:40AM
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan looks on as Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn delivers the State of the State Address to a joint session of the General Assembly in the House chambers at the Illinois State Capitol Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014 in Springfield Ill. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
Attorney General Lisa Madigan suggested in a letter Tuesday that county clerks across Illinois can allow same-sex couples to marry now, citing a recent ruling in Cook County.
Illinois became the 16th state to legalize same-sex marriage when Gov. Pat Quinn signed the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act last year, but the law was not scheduled to take effect until June 1.
In a letter to Macon County Clerk Stephen Bean dated Tuesday, Madigan wrote that "the protections guaranteed by the Constitution must exist without regard to county lines."
Bean wrote to Madigan's office after U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled on Feb. 21 that Cook County could immediately begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. That ruling, in Lee vs. Orr, applied only to marriages in Cook County because the class-action suit was filed against Cook County Clerk David Orr.
"For the reasons explained in more detail in the legal papers filed in the Lee case, my office's position is that current Illinois restrictions against same-sex marriage violate the equal protection rights that belong to all citizens under the United States Constitution," Madigan's letter said.
The letter goes on to say that although the ruling in Lee is not binding on other counties, a "consistent stream" of federal court rulings have declared restrictions against same-sex marriage unconstitutional.
It concludes by urging each county clerk to consult with his or her state's attorney and give "full consideration to the rulings in Lee" in deciding whether to issue licenses before June 1, as well as weigh costs and potential outcomes of litigation challenging any denial.
If a couple denied a marriage license sues before the law takes effect in June, Madigan's office would argue the denial is unconstitutional, the letter says.
"Nobody should have to wait for equal rights when it comes to love," Gov. Pat Quinn said in a news release regarding Madigan's letter. "I encourage every county clerk in Illinois to quickly follow the attorney general's guidance.
"Following this guidance, the Illinois Department of Public Health will now accept all marriage licenses issued by any county clerk in Illinois," Quinn said.
Cook County Clerk David Orr's office has issued 258 marriage licenses to same-sex couples as of last Friday, according to the clerk's official Twitter account.
Clerks in Champaign and McLean Counties have announced that they intend to give marriage licenses to same-sex couples ahead of June 1, citing the federal ruling, according to published reports.
"We applaud the attorney general for her conclusions and urge counties throughout the state to follow through," Bernard Cherkasov, CEO of Equality Illinois, said in a news release.

Staff was amazing, very well located. It's an historical building, it's old. Don't expect a luxury place.
Nothing to complain about.
Very nice "old" hotel, friendly staff, good location, interesting building
I spent five days/four nights at the Asunción Palace, and was very pleased with the hotel. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The rooms and common areas were pleasant and very clean. I particularly enjoyed the aspects of the original architecture that were still part of the hotel, and the sunny, airy breakfast room. The breakfast itself was fresh, varied, and plentiful. Overall, a great place to stay in Asunción; I would certainly be a return guest.
The wonderful ambiance, high ceilings and spacious public rooms. Wide hallways with inviting seating available. I have not enjoyed a hotel so much. It was simply delightful.
Not much. The surrounding area may be cause for a nanosecond of apprehesion, but it was no problem at all.
We stayed here twice...once for a single night and then at the end of our trip for 3 nights. The hotel is located a block away from the end of Palma street - a street with lots of bars and restaurants. It is a few blocks from Loma San Jeronimo. While the area looks a little sketchy, it is actually very safe and perfect for walking around Asuncion. If you are up to it, you can even walk to Mercado 4 in about 40min. Busses run right in front of the hotel and can take you to anywhere in the city. Free parking and wifi. We stayed in 2 types of rooms. The first was a large suite with a huge balcony. We were charged $65/night for this room. The second was a normal room with a window that lead to a small terrace. It was $56/night. The funny thing is that the cheaper room was MUCH better. The suite was old and dated and had very poor wifi. We were not looking forward to returning. However, we were happy that we did because the normal room was modern and had great wifi. Both rooms were very clean and had good bathrooms/showers. There is an English speaking employee - Graciela. The entire staff is very nice.
Poor WiFi in some areas
It is a beautiful, historical hotel with lovely staff.
It wasn't an corporate cookie cutter hotel. You could feel the history in the building and that is always a plus for me. But most importantly the staff was very friendly and helpful and I couldn't ask for more. If you are in Asuncion, I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Every thing muy bien!
Old colonial style hotel Located at the western edge of the easily reached "old town center", while the new town center is quite a bit further to the east. This hotel is definitely of an older generation and possesses its own colonial type of charm. The main people at the reception during the day time have a good to excellent command of English, and everybody is very friendly, kind and helpful, they easily organized for us a day tour of the area surrounding Asuncion. Our room had a small sitting area with a desk/chair and readily accessible electrical outlet. Floors are all tiled which enhances the clean feeling. The medium sized bedroom has a queen sized bed, night tables and a small stand with flat screen TV, bare walls plus a very efficient and quiet air-conditioning unit. The bathroom with bidet has a reasonably sized counter top space at the sink and a tiled shower stall. Good wifi in room, weaker signal in the lounge area. Good, if simple breakfast with cold meats, cheese, breads, freshly baked cake and a nice fresh fruit selection, juice and coffee. Overall, a good place, with very friendly staff, great location and excellent pricing.
The windows and doors would benefit from a upgrade or at least a new paint job. Shower curtain is very flimsy and clinging (suggest the hotel upgrade these), some of the towels had a stale smell.
The location of the Asuncion Palace is very convenient and in the historic center of the city. The friendly and very helpful staff go out of their way to do everything they possibly can for. That is by far the most outstanding aspect of this hotel: the staff. The exterior is quite beautiful and charming, and the neighborhood seems to be quite safe and walkable.
While the exterior is very charming, the upper floors where most of the rooms are located are rather plain and shabby in appearance. The hotel really does need to replace the towels and linen, which in some cases are threadbare. The halls and rooms could stand a new coat of paint as well. All of these negatives are outweighed by the convenient location and kindness and friendliness of the staff.
The Asuncion Palace is a historic and retains most of the splendor of a bygone age. The ceilings are high and the stone and woodwork is fantastic. Also the location is great - just down the street from some nice resturaunts and bars and close to most of the sights in the historic center.
Nice colonial style architecture Very friendly, kind and helpful staff Clean and quiet room with good size and comfortable bed Very good location close to the restaurants and historical buildings
very centrally located, good breakfast, nice and big room, friendly people at the reception
It was a great basic hotel in a perfect location. Both bed and bathrooms were good and functional. The building itself has a lot of charm.
The decor was a bit outdated but nothing that would stop me from staying there again.
Large rooms, colonial style decor, clean, floors accessible by elevator. Public bus from airport to hotel.
Location is not inviting, rolling luggage on sidewalks can be difficult.
The staff was wonderful and the building was a beautiful historic place.
Having to leave early in the morning and missing the breakfast that would have been provided.
This hotel is amazing!!! I stayed here with my girl last week and had the suite which was amazing! The hotel is very beautiful and the staff is super friendly! Beautiful place! A&C
I loved EVERYTHING! The people are so friendly and the place is an historic place and really luxurious! It´s also very good value for money! When in Asuncion, stay here and you won´t regret it! I absolutely loved it!!!
Comfortable and spacious, clean, convenient, ambience and decor, helpful and friendly staff, good location.

Most borrowers don't shop around before applying for a new credit card and inevitably fail to get the best credit card deal. Most people think they just haven't got the time to sift through all of the information available. With so many interest free credit cards and low interest credit cards on offer, finding the best credit card for you can be a headache. This site makes is easy for you to shop around and compare what is available.
This website summarises what each credit card is offering in a clear and simple format by providing consumers with a comparison service which does the shopping around automatically. You can see at a glance the credit card offers including introductory rates, low interest rates, cashback deals, reward programs and which cards could save you money by providing a 0% credit card balance transfer facility or interest free period on purchases.
Research revealed that more than 60% of people don't know the APR interest rate they are currently being charged on their credit card. Only 32% of people questioned said they chose their card provider because it offered a low interest rate. At the same time 78% admitted they had never changed their credit card and were probably on a deal that was out of date, while 58% said they simply get their plastic from their bank*.
If you've had your current credit card for a couple of years or have a card provided by your bank, it is very likely you are paying significantly more in interest than you need to. The UK credit card market has traditionally been characterised by customer apathy with many people sticking with the first card they receive which is quite often a card provided by their bank. This does not have to be the case as switching credit card providers is very easy and there are some very good deals for credit card balance transfers.

"I live... I love and slay. And I am content."Conan the Barbarian is a 2011 film featuring Conan of Cimmeria, the classic Barbarian Hero created by Pulp Fiction writer Robert E. Howard. It stars Jason Momoa as Conan, Rachel Nichols as the Love Interest Tamara, and Stephen Lang and Rose McGowan as the villains Khalar Zym and Marique. It is directed by Marcus Nispel.It is a Continuity Reboot of the Conan film franchise, again revisiting his Origin Story, though it takes a fair few elements from the first two Conan films which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. On the other hand, the movie retains many quintessential elements of a good Conan story: a Distressed Damsel, an Evil Sorceress, an Evil Overlord, even an Artifact of Doom for everyone to quarrel over. Of course, true to its pulp origins, the movie has a lot of blood and some nudity and is extremely sword and sorcery.Set in the distant past of the Hyborian Age, the story revolves around the Mask of Acheron, a Cool Mask made of the bones of kings, which in the even more distant past let the necromancers of Acheron take over the world - except for the barbarian tribes who combined to overthrow their empire. The mask was broken into many pieces and scattered across the lands. As is to be expected, a warlord named Khalar Zym tries to gather all the pieces and reassemble the mask, in order to bring his late wife Back from the Dead and to conquer the whole world. In the process, he tortures and kills Conan's father and burns down his hometown. Conan survives to become a vagabond warrior and thief, but swears to get his revenge one day.Years later, Khalar Zym has completed the Mask and now seeks the last pure-blooded descendant of the Acheron rulers to sacrifice, in order to unleash the Mask's power. He and his Mooks again cross paths with Conan, who resolves to oppose them. In the course of events he runs into a female monk named Tamara, the very person Khalar Zym seeks...Unfortunately, the film was a Box Office Bomb, only earning less than $49 million worldwide with a $90 million budget. The next Conan film, should it ever escape from Development Hell, will star Arnold Schwarzenegger again. Its tentative title is The Legend of Conan, and it's supposed to be a sequel to the first film alone.

On Saturday Nov. 17, 2007, we adopted three little angels. They had been in our foster home for 2 years and 3 months. These children have been a blessing to our family and will continue to bless us we're sure.
I had already raised three children of my own, and this was a whole new experience.
Looking at these children today you would never know that they were ever exposed to anything but love,joy,laughter,and a loving home. So today I would like to honor God for placing these angels in our home and allowing us to become their parents for the rest of their blessed life. Anyone that reads this please say a prayer for this family and we will be praying for all the adoptive parents across the lands. God bless all you foster and adoptive parents your reward is great.

My husband David and I tried to have children for several years with no avail. I was working as a property manager for a low-income property when one of my tenant's son was placed in foster care. This child was the cutest, most lovable child, and so I called my husband and convinced him that we needed to see about becoming his foster parents. Upon calling DCBS, I found out that it was not just that simple and so we enrolled in the classes and began our road to parenthood. We graduated classes in July and did not hear anything until February when we received the most awesome phone call about this little 2-year-old that needed an adoptive placement. My husband and I were thrilled, we found out from the foster mom that Eric loved Bob the Builder so that very night we went to WalMart and bought two car seats and everything they had that was Bob the Builder. Upon getting home, we put everything together and decorated his room for his initial visit the next day. That was the longest 24 hours of my life waiting on the visit of our soon-to-be-son that we had already fallen in love with and yet had never seen. As soon as the they pulled in the drive and opened the door Eric began yelling "ball, ball." My husband who coaches basketball just melted. Eric came in and was never once shy with us. We showed him what would soon be his room and he just played and loved on us and we knew then that the Lord had placed us together. Two days later Eric came to live with us. Six weeks later on income tax day we got the best tax return ever and that was our second son Evan (15 months old). Evan and Eric looked enough alike to be twins and yet they were not even related. The boys bonded immediately and now we had the perfect family. Two years later we finalized the adoptions of both boys on the same day and made everything legal even though they were in our hearts the day they came into our home. Three months after the completion of our first adoption we get a phone call for a sibling group and we agreed to take them and our boys accepted them in and now we went from 0 to 4 kids in less than 3 years. The hole that was in our hearts longing for a child was no later there and that my life was full and overflowing with love. There is no greater joy than that of adopting a child and you know that they are now legally yours forever. We are proud to announce that on November 27, 2007, Noah and Kimberly legally joined our Forever Family. The love of a child is the greatest love of all.

I completed the MAPP class around mid-March 2007 and anxiously prepared my home for the scrutiny of a home study. My home study was completed during the month of May and I waited for the paperwork to go throught the state foster care license system. I received my foster care license on 6/1/07. On 6/4/07, after 6 months or so working with the system, I took a break and didn't answer my cell phone after repeated calls from one of the case managers during my lunch that day. After I finished my lunch, I decided to check my messages and to my excitement, it was a phone call about a 6-year-old who needed a home that day! Well, that was 2:30 pm on 6/4, and I met John that night at 7:30 pm when he was dropped off by a caseworker. We settled him in and to my surprise later that night....I discovered that his birthday was the same day and year my beloved Grandpa passed away. It just felt right. A couple days later, as I was driving him to summer camp, I told him of this coincidence. He quite confidently told me he was Grandpa Rocco's place mat. Place mat? It took me a few minutes to understand. Replacement, is that what he meant? Yep, that was it! I fell in love right there! John's adoption was finalized on 10/12/07. While some days are definitely better than others, I wouldn't trade it for the world. He is an amazing kid who has overcome so much. I am blessed to have him as my son.

Toward the end of Sept. 2005, I received a call from my foster care agency that they had a 23-month-old male for placement and he would be coming from a shelter. He arrived the next day with his caseworker. Then, in Nov., I received a call from my agency saying the State needed a home for a 2-year-old female that was presently in a shelter. I said I would be happy to take her, and the next day she was placed in my home (which happened to be her birthday). A year and half later, I adopted them in a mass adoption that took place in San Antonio, TX on April 13 of this year! It was such a blessing for me and them. They both have now been living with me for 2 years, and we are having so much fun! Everyone asks if they are twins and they always answer "yes." I would urge everyone that is interested in adopting to try to adopt the children that are in foster care in your local area. It means so much to the child to have someone that they can call mom or dad. They want to have parents and they want to be loved! I am a single parent this time around. I have two grown children that were totally for having a little brother and sister. My daughter is a foster mom also and is adopting a baby from foster care that has been with her for two years. His adoption will be finalized in December as he turns 3!

Children: Nicole and Cotys
Delores and her husband met their two wonderful daughters when they were six months and two-and-a-half years old. They were being raised by an elderly (83 year old) grandmother.
The girls spent many weekends with Delores and her husband, including summer vacations. As time would have it, things came to be that Nicole and Cotys needed a stable home, some due in part to the grandmother's poor health.
Nicole and Cotys came to live with Delores and her husband as foster children. All along though, their intention was to adopt. Finally, the adoption became final on National Adoption Day 2003.
Though there were many bumps in the road and hills and mountains to climb to get the adoption finalized, Delores said, "I would do it all over again. I love being a parent. My daughters are very happy and loved. We enjoy our lives together."

Judy and her husband have one biological child and adopted siblings Derek and Carissa.
Judy describes her family as absolutely spectacular - Derek and Carissa have helped make their family complete.
She said, "Our biological child is the main reason we decided to adopt. He was not happy being an only child and when we approached him about adoption he was all over it. God has blessed our family through the miracle of adoption and if I can do anything to encourage one more family to take this step I want to do that."

Several years ago, Ivy and her husband began trying to get pregnant. After an incredible amount of heart ache, they went to their doctor for help. A year later, after attempts at using fertility drugs had failed, they found out Ivy had several issues keeping her from getting pregnant.
After much discussion, Ivy and her husband decided not to go through with any more treatments, but to adopt. They submitted their application to an international adoption agency. After about a month, they realized that was not the option for them either.
A week after they decided to explore foster care adoption. They were shown the picture of a beautiful sibling group that would be coming up for adoption soon. They went home and talked about it and decided to wait to make a decision until after the children's court date.
As Ivy and her husband waited, they learned a little about the children's story. The two older siblings had been both neglected and physically abused by their biological parents. Luckily, they were sent to live with a wonderful foster family that helped their wounds heal and taught them what a family should be like.
A week after Ivy and her husband were shown the children's picture, they were freed for adoption. After much talk and prayer, they decided to see if they would be accepted as their parents. The children came home forever with Ivy and her husband on May 6, 2006.
As Ivy put it, "I can honestly say that these children have blessed me in uncountable ways. Infertility became the best thing that ever happened to me."

Children: Brooklyn
Brooklyn was born on February 11, 2000, in Las Vegas. Her birth mother was 15 and in foster care. The two of them came to live with us in November 2000 and we came to love them both.
Unfortunatly, Brooklyn's birth mother was not prepared to raise a child and spent the next several years bouncing Brooklyn from one home to another. Because she herself was a foster child, extra effort was made to try and keep them together. We always stayed connected to them both regardless of where they were living. Whenever her birth mother felt things were unraveling, she would ask to have Brooklyn placed with us. She was determined to live on her own and make her own way. Brooklyn was placed back in her mother's care for the forth time in November 2003.
On April 30, 2004, we received a call that she had fled the state with her. A couple of days later she called and asked us to fly across the county to pick up Brooklyn, which we did. Parental rights were terminated June 3, 2005.
Although we feel very sad for Brooklyn's birth mother and wish she could have accepted the guidance that was offered to her, we are forever grateful that she saw the necessity to keep Brooklyn close to us. Although Brooklyn was not adopted until she was nearly six, she has been bonded to us since she was an infant. She brings joy to our lives every day.

I know. I've been posting a lot this week about Platform University. One big reason: Enrollment only happens twice a year—and today's the cutoff for the fall semester. Tonight, after 11:59 p.m. Pacific, the doors close for another six months.
But there's an even bigger reason: I am seriously passionate about the content and community at Platform University. Based on what I've seen so far, every new member added means the potential to transform more lives because of the insight and experience each new person brings to the party.
I've also noticed something interesting since we opened registration last week: Many people see the word platform and think, "I'm not an author or a speaker. This thing isn't for me."
Not so fast.

We have the permanent pizza thread... how about a permanent CT energy price thread? The goal would be to post and compare prices to help forum regulars find energy suppliers charging lower rates or offering deals in progress. In Connecticut we pay some of the highest energy rates in the country... maybe this is one small way forum members can save some money through the collective wisdom of the group.-------------------------Energy Formulas:Oil:1gal of oil gives ~138,000BTU, if you burn it into an average 83% efficient burner you end up with ~114,500BTU/galGiven a hypothetical $3.50/gal price that is ~32,700BTU/$----Propane:Propane gives 91,500BTU/gal. If you burn it in a very efficient 95% furnace you get ~87,000BTU/galGiven a hypothetical $3.25/gal price that is ~26,750BTU/$.
Just got filled up today 2-20-12:Northeast Propane: $2.125/gal (including .10 per gallon premium for payment within 10 days, price based on customer-owned 500 gallon propane tank)- Price went DOWN from last fillup!!-----Norwich Discount Oil: $3.67/gal (125 gallon minimum, no quick payment premium) called to get comparison on same-day as propane delivery.Bottom line:40,941 btu/$ for propane31,198 btu/$ for oil
My current contracts for energy are 3.99 for home heating oil from Peterson in Portland, and 3.49 for propane (120-gal tank) from Daniels in Middletown. I don't expect these prices to drop this coming year, given we're about to see $4+ gasoline and crude will be staying way above $100.
I got in a pre-buy of oil at $3.79. I bought 800 gallons upfront.So far, I've lost because the price on the day they deliver has been lower than $3.79.It's a crap shoot. Last year I won big.
I filled my oil tank at the beginning of December at 3.60I still have 1/2 of the 275 gal tank.I win.
I filled my oil tank at the beginning of December at 3.60I still have 1/2 of the 275 gal tank.I win.
How does the heat pump work out mathematically?
How expensive was the system to buy and install? What kind of payback time frame did/does your system have?I ask only because you have an awesome btu/$ value (highest of anybody posting so far!), but what is the upfront cost to be able to get that ratio.
System itself was some 18k starting from the scratch.It wasn't made with the primary intention of saving, it was made to 1)have central air and 2)get rid of the ugly baseboards.The payoff obviously depends largely on the oil/electricity price and usage, but based on current prices, the 5900kWh extra I used in Nov-Feb (vs the spring/fall baseline) generated some 53MBTU for a cost of ~$944.If I were to make them with oil that would have been $1710. Give or take, it is important to note that the efficiency of the ASHP depends on the outside temperature and I am *way too lazy* to compute the numbers that I have for an exact answer. It will be close to $1000 by spring. But also we had to keep the house warmer all day long because of a baby... so normally it wouldn't be this much. But then again, in 2008 the price of oil hit $4.30/gal...
I filled up my oil tank in June 2010. Skipped 2011.. Had about 1450 gals left as of last summer. This winter, so far, have used about 45 gallons of oil in the furnace. Normally by this time, a couple hundred. Some factors: finished the roof, which has super insulation now. Installed vent dampers in the furnace and hot water heater flues. They keep the heat in the boilers after they shut down. Really saves on having to reheat the boiler from zero, next call for heat. But this winter's been fairly mild. When the temp is above 30F, the furnace doesn't have to run, as the sun does a pretty good job heating the upstairs. The computers heat the downstairs effectively. I'm still waiting for this peak in oil prices to pass, before ordering again. Depending on how much oil is left when this June rolls around, I will have to decide on whether to buy or wait until we have an oil-friendly president in the Oval Office.
The computers heat the downstairs effectively.
disconnected, do you get a discounted rate because of the size of your tank(s)? How much capacity do you have? I'm curious as propane is priced in large part on capacity of the tank at your home... I'm curious if you can get better prices with larger oil orders for your large tank.
Yes, the PCs in my studio editing suite use about 1490 watts, according to Kill-A-Watt P2, when rendering h.264 streams for BD production. About 1100W idling. The studio is about 980sq ft and it stays about 66F in there without the main heating system's help. Yes, expensive indeed. $430 a month for utility bill. Used to be $590 until I switched all the lighting over to LED.Our oil tank is 2000 gallons. Back in the day, we used to burn 1200 gallons a season. Then I moved to more efficient oil burner in 2007, smaller nozzle size, flame retention, etc. Then put on a Intellicon Heat Manager. That got us down to 450 gallons a season, both hot water heater and furnace combined.This past fall, I finished my roof, which is now super insulated. The difference is dramatic. Furnace only comes on if the outside temp is below 30F. This fall, I installed a Field Controls Oil Vent Damper. One of the best investments ever. The cellar stays warm now without the air being sucked up the chimney constantly, which was happening before this change. Furnace jacket stays hot between firings and osmosis seems to keep the radiators upstairs hot for hours.I'm thinking of putting an hour meter on the Bock 32E hot water heater, so I can calculate the approx oil usage (hours x GPH) on that. I have a hunch the hot water heater uses the most oil because of the family's heavy use of hot water. It runs several times a day, whereas the furnace may run in the morning on a very cold day and late at night before the setback. The Heat Manager shows low hours for this season's burner run time so far.Anyway, yes, I get significant discounts on large purchases, usually saving 20 cents a gallon or more. I have a list of 20 or so local oil companies and call each one every time I need a delivery. The policies and discounts vary from year to year. With the large tank, I hedge my fuel purchases and buy only when I see the price bottoming out. My neighbors must be panicking every time they buy oil, at these prices. I see the oil truck go down our private road twice a month in January and I know that can't be a modest bill. We originally got the large tank because the road is unmaintained and impossible to negotiate in winter. So need to have enough to last through the winter.
We are signing a contract (hopefully today) to build our new home. I'm burring a 1000 propane tank that we will own outright. We plan on using propane for heating, the cooktop (oven will be electric), and hot water and of course running a line for the grill outside. Fireplace will be wood with a stub in the wall if we ever choose to get a propane insert. A line will be run for the dryer as well if a future owner chooses to go that route.Sound like a plan?--Rich.

Interesting report:»www.eia.gov/analysis/petroleum/n···/update/Short summary: If Sunoco proceeds with its plan to shutdown its Philly refinery in July 2012 instead of selling it, we up here in the northeast are going to be in deep doo-doo...
A very wise investment meskinct. A suggestion or two if I may...1) if you are buying an underground tank (which I would really recommend!), ask for the 3/4 poly gas line from tank to house. It's not much more money (if at all) and can carry substantially more load than the standard copper tubing in case you decide to install a backup generator or other higher BTU device down the road. It also will require an iron pipe at your house regulator... which will be much less prone to weed wacker or incidental damage as well!2) If you are going forced hot air with A/C, then I strongly recommend a tankless propane hot water heater (199,000btu model is what I have). It saves a boatload of money and has endless hot water (mine is a Quietside, and it has been great!).3)Make sure secondary regulator (the regulator attached to your house) has it's venting point meet NFPA codes ( »Second Stage Propane Regulator Vent Distances )And yes, get the dryer roughed in... and have a 110v outlet installed along the 220v for in the spot for the dryer so you have electrical hookups for both (gas dryer uses 110v, not a 220v, but if you have both, you can choose gas or electric, a big selling feature).I think you are making a wise choice and investment. Let me know if I can answer any questions.Good Luck! (And tell us what you are getting for your propane prices!!!)
Here are a few shots of my outside setup. Hopefully they might help you in your planning.A few things to note:The white pipe is schedule 40 PVC and was used to "back pipe" the regulator vent away from the intakes of my gas appliances (Furnace and hot water heater) and an electrical outlet on my deck. You may not need to do that, but I had to because of my land topography, I had no other place for the regulator to go (plus near the deck gave me a lot of options on future appliance connections, like a generator). This setup fully meets code. Note the iron pipe rather than copper to affix the regulator to the building. That iron pipe meets up with the 3/4" poly gas line underground and runs to the tank.Also, That white box is my quick disconnect. I have it setup to accept my gas grill and my portable propane generator (one at a time). The short run of copper tubing was sized to deliver the btu's needed for the generator under full load. You may want to think about alternate power generation in the event of a power failure. Buying a main panel that can accept an interlock kit like mine ( »GE Generator Interlock Switch done! ) might make sense now while you are planning. Have the electrician wire an inlet near the propane stub and get a propane portable generator down the road, put a quick disconnect on it, and you'll be ready to rock in a power outage! Just a thought... it's what I did! You could go with a standby setup with your tank, and it doesn't need to be installed now... just plan for the possibility with the propane company if that's what you want... they may have some placement suggestions if you go that route.Note the shutoff valve right at the start of the copper run on top of the regulator pipe. It's always a good idea to have that in place so you can shut off deck propane in case there is a leak or some other unforeseen problem (very unlikely, but possible). That way, you can still supply your house while the deck is shut off. There is a check valve and shutoff in that quick disconnect box, but the redundancy is a good idea (at least IMHO).Anyway, hope this helps. Let me know!
Damn! Good ideas. Thanks.I will definitely go with the tank less water heater. And like your suggestion about poly and iron pipe. I will talk to the installer and get these things lined up.Small question as I'm a total noob to propane. Let's say I run out in the 1000 tank. Is there a way I could use a 5gal/20lb gas grill tank to get by while waiting for a fill? I know it'll be sucked dry in a jiffy. But is there a way?--Rich. My Website
I took a pic of my tankless hot water heater for you- it's a 199,000 btu unit- the largest Quietside makes (at least at that time). It's more or less the size of a bathroom medicine cabinet. I've had 3 simultaneous showers going with no problems... hot water and normal water pressure for all bathrooms.Unfortunately, you can't use a smaller propane tank to get through a run out (at least that I'm aware of)... it's not like oil where you can dump a 5-gallon pail of diesel to get through... you really need to make sure the tank doesn't get below 20%.A propane tank can only hold 80% of it's volume- so your 1000 gallon tank can only hold 800 gallons at max capacity. There needs to be space for expansion and contraction of the propane. There will be a dipstick in your tank that will read the liquid volume level in the tank... pressure is NOT an accurate measurement of how much is in your tank- the dipstick is.The basic idea is that propane boils at about -44 degrees Fahrenheit, so you have pressurized propane liquid in your tank that gives off vapors when it boils. The bigger the tank, the more boiling surface area and the more pressure you can harness. As your devices call for vapor, it creates space in the tank, propane boils, and more vapor is formed, and so on.In the case of a runout, in the old days of pilot lights... weird things would happen to your system when your tank got to under 20%.. with modern electronic ignition, it's not as big of an issue, but still a good idea to call for a propane delivery if the tank hits that 20% or below mark.EDIT: The 2 main reasons that the little tank wouldn't work are that:1) Since it is small, and understanding it can produce a tiny fraction of the vapor that your 1000 gallon tank can, it would freeze as it can't produce enough vapor to keep up with the demands of your propane appliances. The boiling process requires heat to make the vapor... if there isn't enough surface area to meet demand, the temp can get too low and literally freeze the tank... You won't have that problem with a large tank, but you will with a 100 pound or less tank (depending on the temp outside as well!). A gas grill needs only a small amount of propane as it needs a relatively low amount of btu's to operate... and that won't be the case with big appliances like water heater and furnace.2) Your 1000 gallon tank is physically connected to your system in a permanent manner... it's not practical or really possible to make it "disconnectable" so you can attach a smaller tank.. it would create too many potential fail points and you want to minimize on leak points as best you can.Hope I explained that well!?! EDIT 2: Here is a video that might shed some light on the boiling concept. It might make more sense than my explanation (or at least clarify it):
meskinct, one thing that will substantially impact your propane consumption is your home's insulation. What is your builder planning for house insulation (wall size and insulation type)? That's one place where you can potentially get a huge return on investment in energy savings.
We haven't really gotten to that point yet. We are still reviewing the contract and I' trying to get a detailed material list once we have the floor plan set. Looks like 2x8 outside framing with std fiberglass. But they don't use Tyvek. They use some other wrap very similar to the ice dam material they use on the roof. Its rubbery and shrinks to fit the house. They say that Tyvek is not the problem really, it's the installation that is (it's not supposed to be stapled). So I guess this stuff self seal around any staples, nails, etc.--Rich. My Website

Just had a minute to pull my propane data for this winter to date:Since August 8th, 2011, I've burned 544 gallons costing $1205. There have been 3 fillups since that date- high price was $2.288/gal and low price was $2.125/gal.Given our very mild winter here in CT, looks like I'll come in under my yearly budget of $1800 (based on my early season pricing assumptions). Included in that consumption amount is heat, hot water, cooking, BBQ grilling, and clothes drying for 5 people including a baby.
Thanks again. We really just need to see 2x8 vs 2x6 and see if it's worth it. 2x6 will be minimum. Plans are here if you want to take a peak. Again, very rough at this point. »www.thisispico.com/test/harvest_···r_plans/My notes:Ignore the pantry part in the kitchen corner. We asked for a walk in pantry so they tried to draw it in. We are not going to do that. Also ignore the island. Probably going to be an L. We will put a window in the garage as well.Not too many changes that I see. Just window placements in the Great room, bedrooms, etc. We want to make sure theres enough room between them for the TV. And we may take one out in between the fireplace and the slider to the deck. We arent too happy with the powder room door. Well work n that as well. Also add two feet to the garage width.--Rich. My Website
Just called to price propane from the three local propane dealers who service my area (6-20-2012):Amerigas (Hampton, CT): $2.299/gal as a first fill-up price only... then who knows...Osterman Propane (Plainfield, CT): $1.999/galNortheast Propane (Danielson, CT): $1.619/gal (including discount of 10 cents per gallon for payment within 10 days)I'll have to dig in the archives to verify, but I'm pretty sure that's the lowest I've ever paid per gallon of propane. Northeast wins with 53,737btu/$
That's pretty good. Currently futures are at $.82/gal so I figure adding about $.85 to the futures price gives me the delivered price. So that's $1.67/gal right now. Pretty darn good if you look at the 5 year chart. The 5 year low is about $.60/gal futures.--Rich. My Website
I see heating oil for $3/gal now.
That's pretty good. Currently futures are at $.82/gal so I figure adding about $.85 to the futures price gives me the delivered price. So that's $1.67/gal right now. Pretty darn good if you look at the 5 year chart. The 5 year low is about $.60/gal futures.
I haven't even moved yet. Moving in Sept and house will come with 800 gallons. With any luck the next fill should be around May 2013. I think Paraco will be the first choice.--Rich. My Website

Has anyone seen the Chargers defense?
Going into week two, the Bolts were 31st in the league in defense, allowing 437 yards per game. That's landed them at 0-2, looking up at a Broncos team who could gallop away with the division if the Chargers don't turn it around.
Why is the defense sputtering? To paraphrase Occam's razor, "all other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best." So the answer must be: no Shawne Merriman.
Sounds reasonable to me. No one is putting pressure on the quarterback. The team has one sack, and it was a fluke.
While Merriman's absence is significant, it does not account for the San Diego corners getting torched on the field. Week 2 saw Brandon Marshall for the Broncos catch 18 passes.
Antonio Cromartie needs to step it up. The linebackers need to step up. Opposing quarterbacks are dropping bombs on the San Diego secondary and it will continue.
A leader must emerge on defense. A playmaker must turn the tide.
On the other side, offense hasn't been a problem. Even with an anemic LT, they're 5th overall in the league and 3rd in passing yards per game. They've put up 62 points in two games. The Chargers can score, thankfully.
Taking the offensive production and defensive struggle, it's no wonder the Chargers have lost both games by a combined 3 points.
The Jets figure to come out firing on Monday Night Football. The Brett Favre led offense has been average, unspectacular. If the Chargers defense can muster marginal play I think they can put enough points up to win. The only intangible is the Favre Monday Night Magic. The guy loves to shine on the big stage.
This game provides an excellent opportunity to not only end this early season rut, but it can be a springboard for the defense to get their momentum rolling.
Charger fans should hope tonight's game doesn't resemble week three from last year. Favre threw for 369 yards and 3 TD's in Green Bay against a better San Diego defense. And the Jets haven't been to Qualcomm since the '05 playoffs… you know how that ended.
It could be a long night.

MT. JEWETT – Do Mt. Jewett residents want the borough government to spend about $2,000 a year to have recycling bins returned to the borough?
This is the question posed Monday by the Mt. Jewett Borough Council at its meeting at the borough building.
According to a report from Borough Secretary-Treasurer Barb Harp, Casella—the current operator of the former county landfill near Hutchins—is willing to place recycling bins in Mt. Jewett at a fee.
Casella would empty the bins weekly at a cost of $145 per month—plus a fuel surcharge.
MT. JEWETT -- More police services are coming to Mt. Jewett.
Acting at its meeting Monday, the Mt. Jewett Borough Council voted 4-0 to authorize Police Officer Matt Guthrie to work up to 16 hours for the borough every two weeks.
Guthrie, who is a police officer in Bradford, will assist Mt. Jewett Police Officer Steve Hale.
Council previously agreed to give Hale full-time status as the borough police officer. Hale now is authorized to work up to 40 hours a week. Hale also works on a part-time basis in Kane.
Websites on the internet play a major role in the marketing of businesses in today's "high tech" world.
Just ask Jeff Andrulonis, who spoke Friday at a Kane Chamber of Commerce breakfast forum at the Kane Manor on Clay Street.
"Every business with a website has the potential to be found," Andrulonis said. "People are now researching on-line before making a buying decision. More than half of all consumers say their internet searches are important in their decision-making process."
Stunning new hand-crafted wooden signs are planned at the five major gateways to the borough of Kane.
Two signs already have been erected.
One is located on Route 6 to greet motorists traveling east into Kane from Ludlow. This sign is near the blinker light for Kane Community Hospital.
The second sign is located along Route 321 to welcome motorists traveling north into Kane from Wilcox. This sign is along the northbound lane of Route 321, just north of Hemlock Avenue.
Another page has turned on the reading assistance program at the Kane Middle School.
For 14 years, community residents have made weekly visits to the school to help sixth-grade students with their reading assignments.
"They're dedicated, patient and understanding," reading teacher Julie Jubon said in praising the volunteers. "They've really made a difference."
Many of the volunteers are retired persons or "stay-at-home moms," Jubon said. She said the volunteers faithfully show up every Tuesday morning from September to May to help students with their reading.
Fallen electrical power lines ignited a wildfire late Wednesday afternoon on the west side of James City Hill on Route 66 south of Kane.
The Kane Volunteer Fire Department and the Highland Township Volunteer Fire Department responded to the blaze about 4:20 p.m. Wednesday.
Kane Fire Chief Tim Holt said it is believed that gusty high winds toppled a dead tree that took down the power lines. The arcing live wires started the wildfire in the woods, Holt said.
According to Holt, the winds continually whipped the flames in the brush and created heavy smoke.
JOHNSONBURG – Perry Swanson of Kane has been named as the 2012 Logger-of-the-Year.
He received the award Tuesday evening at the 44th annual Loggers and Saw-millers Safety Meeting at the Johnsonburg Fire Hall. More than 100 attended the two-hour program sponsored by the Kane-based Allegheny Hardwood Utilization Group (AHUG).
"I'm extremely proud and very honored to receive the award," Swanson said. "I've always wanted to be a logger. Luckily, my dream came true."
More than 35 attended the 14th annual Women In Timber Luncheon held Monday at the Colonial Inn restaurant on Fraley Street in Kane.
The event is sponsored by the Kane-based Allegheny Hardwood Utilization Group(AHUG) for women involved in the timber industry.
Featured speakers for the luncheon included Jill Thompson of Kane, the local legislative representative for State Rep. Kathy Rapp (R-Warren, and Fritz Buehler Lecker of St. Marys, a legislative representative for State Rep. Matt Gabler (R-DuBois).
A 14-year-old Kane boy is facing charges in connection with a stabbing that caused injuries to a Kane man and the alleged assailant.
The boy has been charged with aggravated assault and "other charges," Kane Borough Police Chief Brian Hillard said Monday.
Kane Police Officer Bill Nichols responded to the stabbing at 1:16 a.m. March 18 at 335 Bayard St., Apt. 1.
Police said Brian Kopp of the 300 block of Welsh St., Kane, had been stabbed in the left hip area by a "large kitchen knife." Police said the man was visiting the residence as a "friend" of the boy's mother.
Registration for 2012-13 kindergarten classes at the Kane Elementary School is scheduled Thursday at the school.
To enter kindergarten in the next school year, children must turn 5 on or before Aug. 31.
Parents are asked to bring their child to registration in accordance with the following times on Thursday:
*Last names beginning A through G—3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
*Last names beginning H through P—4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

An easy way to dress up a simple pork roast is to wrap it in bacon. The bacon fat brings extra juiciness and flavor to the roast.
Bacon-wrapped Pork Roast Recipe
- 1 pork loin (1 1/2 pounds)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 lb bacon, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white wine
1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat pork roast dry with paper towels. Season pork roast with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Sear pork on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes total. Remove from heat.
2 Rub pork with chopped rosemary; wrap with bacon, overlapping strips slightly. Tie pork roast wih kitchen string.
3 Roast in oven, basting occasionally with cooking juices, until internal temperature is 145°F on a meat thermometer, 35 o 40 minutes. Remove from oven. Transfer pork to a serving dish.
4 Make pan sauce. Place the roasting skillet on the stove top over low heat. Add the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrap up any browned bits from the pan bottom. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan. Skim off the fat. Reheat to serving temperature if necessary.

It would be nice to walk around the stockyards. Just to talk and get to know each other. Pick up some lunch & decide from there.
Coffee or cocktails - something low key and chill.
I think first dates can be a bit intimidating. So, when meeting up for the first time it might be nice to be a little more laid back about things and just meet up for drinks or coffee.
Going at a restaurant,a karaoke place,etc any places where we can get to know each other better ;)
Somewhere neutral where we can just relax and talk over drinks. Nowhere creepy. I'm not high maintenance... I'm perfectly content with coffee at a diner after work.
Lets talk about it we can put together something nice between us
Surprise me, I think it can be a great date even if it's a surprise.
Just somewhere that we can talk and hear one another is great.
Some place that will make the uncomfortable comfortable.

Eben Franckewitz: The Next Justin Bieber?!?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
When it comes to shaggy hair, supportive parents, a strong voice and a humble attitude, be warned Justin Bieber: you now have competition.
On American Idol's foray into Pittsburgh last night, viewers met Eben Franckewitz, a 15-year old from Milford, Ohio. We were first introduced to him via home video, as the show drove home just how close Eben is to his parents.
He then only needed a few seconds in front of the judges to earn a Golden Ticket for his rendition of "Ain't No Sunshine," with all agreeing the kid was adorable and Randy Jackson telling him: "You definitely have a God-given gift that is pretty amazing and spot-on."
Also serving notice in the Steel City? Hallie Day. The 24-yar old waitress means singing business.
he's amazing and he will be more famous than justin bieber:)
I LOVE EBEN!!! HES ADORABLE AND SOOOO TALENTED! and no i dont think he will be the next justin bieber, because he will be the next Eben Franckewitz! Dont get me wrong, the Biebs makes AWESOME music, but i think Eben will find his own style and maybe end as successful as Justin! :)
I love Eben he's the cutiest and the hottest boy on earth I do love him and I say hes hotter then my bf.
Just want him to be famous already!!! But I guess judging by the response from all the fans he already is! Record contract or not everybody I know thinks American Idol made a huge mistake letting him go and they'll be sorry!!!
Eben is the best there is!!!!!!!!!!!
Still can't stop thinking about Eben!!! and his amazing voice!!!

Montana woman dies in Texas electrical accident
Updated On: Jan 13 2014 11:53:26 AM CST
A Montana woman visiting family in Southeast Texas has died after picking up a lamp from some wet ground and being electrocuted.
The accident happened Sunday night in Texas City.
Fire Marshal Dennis Harris says the victim, whose name and hometown weren't immediately released, was barefoot in a wet yard. A table lamp being used outside was connected to an extension cord plugged into a socket inside the house. Harris says the woman was electrocuted when she touched the lamp.
Inspectors after the accident found electrical work not up to code at the house that had several additions.
Harris had electricity cut to the house following the accident. He says the wiring must meet code requirements before power will be restored.

But now I know that he is wrong, because in my whole life, anytime I have heard people tell stories like, "Doctors said I would never walk again," or "Doctors said I would never come out of the coma," the next thing the people always say is how they did exactly the opposite of what the doctors said. They walked again. They came out of the coma. so you should now listen to the doctors, because they're always wrong when they tell you "never again".
