|At the Unity '99 convention in Seattle in July, held for 6000 journalists of color in the United States, Bishop Federico Pagura of the Methodist Church of Argentina captivated cynical veterans and neophytes alike. He is a "walking piece of history," as one writer commented.
This humble "retired" Methodist bishop has been at the forefront of human-rights struggles throughout his ministry. He has worked for peace and understanding among all peoples, particularly the indigenous peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. In Argentina, he risked his life to support the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. At the time (1976-1983), the brutal military government that ousted Isabel Perón was carrying on what became known in Argentina as "the dirty war." Civilians were routinely rounded up and were never heard from again. No one dared to speak out against the government. But, slowly at first, a group of mothers began a silent vigil in the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires. Soon sisters and aunts and others joined in. Bishop Pagura took part in this silent act of defiance. The vigil became a haunting image on television screens around the world.
Now in his 70s, Bishop Pagura hasn't skipped a beat. Since he had flown all the way to Seattle from Rosario, Argentina, I was worried about his jet lag. So I wanted to let him sleep late on the morning of the human-rights panel on which he would speak. Instead, he said he had heard that Vice President Gore would address the convention. "I must see Al Gore," he insisted. "You know, when I asked President Clinton to lift the embargo against Cuba, he didn't answer me. He gave my letter to Al Gore. So I must see him." Even after I explained that security would be tight and that he probably wouldn't get near the Vice President, he was undaunted. "Yes, we must go now," he said.
At the human-rights panel, Bishop Pagura listened intently to the other speakers and took notes. Although we offered a translator for his presentation, he refused. "It will take up too much of my allotted time," he said. So he translated his speech from his native Spanish into English. Peppering his remarks with timely references to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., he also quoted Chief Seattle [Seatlh] of the Suquamish tribe, the American Indian chief for whom Seattle, Washington, was named. In 1854, Chief Seattle had said to the US President Franklin Pierce: "We know something that the White man will discover some day: that our God is the same God....He is the God of all human beings....All things are connected like the blood that unites us all." After the panel, when I asked him how he knew about Chief Seattle, he said: "Oh, you can find everything on the Internet."
The convention had a huge exhibition hall where everything from cars to network news exhibits were on display. The bishop wanted to see everything. He was quick to pick up items that would be useful back home: pencils for children, solar calculators, baseball caps, and other giveaways. But nothing could match the gift he gave the journalists. It's to be hoped that they will remember his words as well as his humble smile, his deeds as well as their traditional news sources, and that they will be better journalists for having spent a moment with one of God's truly wonderful servants.
Elected in 1998 at Harare, Zimbabwe, as one of the 10 co-presidents of the World Council of Churches, Bishop Pagura will continue to carry the human-rights message on the world stage through 2004. Then he will find another venue from which to share God's word until all people have the right to speak for themselves.

The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU)
The Company deals in money transfer, providing people with fast, reliable and convenient ways to send money around the world, pay bills and purchase money orders.
Western Union is profitable and pays a small dividend, though their stock price has gone nowhere lately. Sooner or later, the market will take notice. Good margins, return on assets, and cash flow. Twice the amount of debt as cash on the balance sheet, which is a concern, but profits and cash flow make me less worried about this debt. I sometimes worry that Western Union could be left in the dust if internet-based, international money transfers become easy and a disruptor company moves into this space. But WU's moat is its worldwide network of physical branches. Rich, western nations might try to move towards a cashless society, but worldwide, the need to convert electronic money into physical currency is not going away anytime soon, and neither is Western Union.

The happiest life is the one that is generous
November 20, 2014by Pastor Mike Ramsdell
Early on a Sunday morning, June 8, 2008, Meredith Hatch was riding her bicycle (training for a triathlon) in Grand Prairie. There she was killed by a drunk driver, leaving three children and a loving husband. Meredith was a member of this church family. I had the honor of presiding at her funeral service a few days later.
Meredith lived life right. I would often see her in church and got to know her through her community service. She was President of the Mansfield Rotary Club, on the Board of Directors of the Mansfield Education Foundation, served with the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce, owned and operated Primrose Schools, was an accomplished triathlete and the mother of three energetic boys.
For Meredith, faith, family, love for children and her commitment to the community she lived in was a driving influence for her. She inspired, motivated and challenged others. Her faith was not a private thing. It was lived out in the things she did — in her drive to be the best she could be as an athlete but also in the impact she made upon children, her family and in the community she felt it was her task to build and make better. She knew something about what a Christian was supposed to do because she went to the places Jesus did — into the world around her.
The year after her death, I was asked to say a prayer at a 5K that was put on by her oldest son to raise money for bicycles for needy kids. There were a handful of runners. I was not one of them back then. At her death, a foundation was created to serve the community, just as she had done in life. Since then, the run has grown to 2,000 runners, and the foundation has raised over $100,000 and has given out over 1,000 bicycles.
The signature fundraiser for the Meredith Hatch Foundation is the Miles for Meredith 5K that is scheduled for Saturday, December 13. It is usually held the Saturday before Thanksgiving at Mansfield High School. This year the time has been moved because of potential bad weather. If you are interested in serving this way, go to the foundation's website and sign up today. There is a 1K run at 8:00 a.m. and a 5K at 8:30 a.m. It is a great cause as Meredith was a great example of a life that makes a difference, even now extending that difference. If you have an In the City for the City shirt, wear it — red, gray or even the pink one I have seen.
I hope you are preparing for a special Thanksgiving and Christmas season. We are especially excited about the Christmas emphasis, Christmas in the Holy Land, and our Christmas program, the Noel Christmas Cantata, on Sunday, December 14, at 6:00 p.m. in our Sanctuary. Our Chancel Choir, Chancel Orchestra and the Jubilate Children's Choir, along with soloists and dancers, will tell the story of Jesus' birth through dramatic narration, songs and special effects. You can catch a sneak peek of the secular portion of the program that morning in our 11:00 a.m. Sanctuary service. Make sure you mark your calendar.
I told Meredith's story for a reason. She led a life of impact — faith, family and community. It was cut short on this earth, but in that time, she had made a difference. I think God expects all of us to make a difference. Jesus challenged us to be the salt and light wherever we are. Jesus does this through us, in simple ways such as being part of the run, serving our family and church, being generous financially, volunteering in our community. The happiest life is the one that is generous. This is especially true when we realize that Jesus was the most generous person who ever lived — generous with who he was, what he had and the life he lived.

Living a life of generosity
November 13, 2014by Pastor Mike Ramsdell
I had a friend for more than 30 years. We walked through ministry together. I remember when I was the pastor of a small church in Bangs, he was the pastor of a small church in Cisco. Our lives in ministry paralleled in many ways. As we journeyed through ministry together, we would often talked about the church and learn from each other. I appreciated his wisdom as did many, but especially his persistent spiritual focus.
Ken had a very clear focus when it came to money, something he began as a young man while at Oral Roberts University and something he continued throughout his life. He saved 10% of his income, gave 10% and lived on the rest, also very carefully avoided debt. He did this when he made very little but also when he made more when he became the pastor of First Methodist Grapevine. In many ways, as a Methodist pastor, he was the best of us.
A few years ago he was preparing for a weekend sermon on Super Bowl commercials, something that had become a tradition for him. He began to have a headache and was taken to the hospital. It was quickly discovered that Ken had undiagnosed Leukemia. He died that night. At the funeral thousands grieved his loss as we celebrated his life. But there was another part of the story. Even though he was only 52, his family was well taken care of, as was his soul. The simple decision to live as he had done had already paved the way for his sudden death. I know few who are prepared as he was at such a young age. But Ken was ready for death, spiritually and financially, just past 50. His priorities guided his life, and his example still speaks to many.
I think this biblically-informed way of living has great rewards. Ken's life proved that, not only in that saving is a wise thing to do but that generosity builds life — a walk with God, a changed and growing heart, a balanced existence, a standard that informs the rest of one's choices, even opening the door to a supernatural component in life where God blesses the giver.
This weekend First Methodist is celebrating Commitment Weekend, where we each get a chance to place our 2015 Estimate of Giving card in a special offering or celebrate that we have already made that commitment. All pastors enter these seasons with some fear and trepidation. First, pastors believe in giving and the mission of the church, our heart and soul is wrapped around both. Second, the church cannot be successful in the life and mission God calls us to be about if the church family does not support the mission with presence and generosity. Third, most pastors, me included, are worried that people will think that all we care about is money. It is ironic that few complain that all pastors do is talk about prayer or the Bible or ministry, which pastors and most churches talk about a great deal. It seems most of us are relatively sensitive about money. Why? Because it is very important to us. This is why giving, being generous, making a commitment are equally important and why Jesus talked about money so much.
Be rich. Being rich is living a life of generosity in all the ways generosity is lived out. Jesus was the richest man who ever lived because he was the most generous.

What does the assessment of your wealth look like?
November 6, 2014by Pastor Mike Ramsdell
First Methodist is in the middle of an emphasis called Be Rich. One of the important ideas is that being rich is an attitude. Another is "it's not how much someone has, but what they do with what they have."
On Tuesday I had a chance to vote while my one-year-old grandson was holding onto my leg. I felt rich.
Two weeks ago I got to sit at a table in Boston with my wife Rhonda and her aunts and uncle. The table was loaded with good food, china and a white tablecloth. I had never eaten a Banana Boat pastry before. I felt rich.
I turned in our Be Rich Estimate of Giving card this week. I felt wealthy as I jotted the number for my tithe on the card; it was a far bigger number than the first one I turned in decades ago. God's blessings have been far more than I even imagined as a young married 40 years ago.
I sat out on my porch Sunday night after a full weekend, great worship, got to baptize a baby, visited with a group of new and potential members and spent time internalizing through prayer the Bible verses I had preached on last week and the ones I was looking at for the next Sunday. I felt rich.
I have been invited to give the Christmas message and share communion at Feed by Grace homeless ministry in Fort Worth in December. I felt rich.
I got to talk to both my daughters this week. They are doing well. I also attended a Halloween party with "Groot" and the raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy (two of my grandchildren). We had cheese dip and chocolate-dipped Oreo cookies. I felt rich.
I had the privilege to walk with two families in a season of grief, but also life, family, relationships and faith. I felt rich.
I got to make a donation to a family who needed some help. I was glad I had the money and glad I could. I have been there. I felt rich.
I remind myself that I am rich just because my sins are forgiven. These are the same words that King David said in one of his psalms, a king, but his wealth was in God, "I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness." I remind myself that If I can be generous with myself and what I have, if I can be generous with good deeds, if I can enjoy the life God gives me minute by minute — the small things and the big things — I am rich.
What does the assessment of your wealth look like? This self-assessment was a great attitude check for me.

Know and be known by God
October 30, 2014by Pastor Mike Ramsdell
I love to tell the story about a lunch I had quite a few years ago with several celebrities. The church I pastored at the time allowed a movie to be filmed at a house we owned, including allowing our fellowship hall and parking lot to be a base for the filming as well as to feed the cast and the crew. (We did not charge enough.) They invited me to eat from the food truck anytime I wanted, so on occasion I got my food there and ate in our fellowship hall, often with the actors in the movie. (The food was amazing.)
So, I can say I had lunch several times with Danny Glover, Ed Harris and John Malkovich. Sally Field was also in the movie, but she must have eaten elsewhere. The movie was called Places in the Heart. You might have seen it. At the time, the actors were not well known. Since then, they have all gone on to great success — the Lethal Weapon movies, The Truman Show and more recently Reds.
But the truth is, I don't really know them at all, only the characters they have played and the stories I might have read about them.
For too many, this is their experience with God. They know a few things about God. They might have even touched base with God a time or two. They might know some of the God stories others have told, or more likely, the ones in the Bible — Noah, Samson, even Jesus. But they don't really know God.
Probably the person I know best in life (it's not Danny, Ed or John) is my wife, Rhonda. Why? Because we have shared life together, all the ups and downs of a fascinating journey, some days good and some days bad. We shared the funeral for her mother when we loaded her cremated ashes in our car after the service in Pensacola and then drove them to Key West to scatter them on the grave of her mother's first-born child as she had requested. We shared it when my parents died, and she sat next to me holding my hand as we grieved together.
But we also shared it when we met her mother's sisters two weeks ago and her uncle for the first time since she was 7 and enjoyed many meals, wonderful stories and the great Boston accents they had. We also shared lobster rolls, views of Boston and Gloucester Bay and then stood at the tip of Cape Cod. It was especially cool to stand next to the farm my Dad grew up on and then find the place where Rhonda was a little girl just a few miles from there. It's shared life that makes us know and be known. And, I believe one of the deepest urges in each of us is to know and be known.
The way to know and be known by God is to share life with God. This is God's will and intent when he created us in the first place. Each day we are told that in the Garden of Eden God came down and walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening.
He sent his son Jesus into the world to walk with us all, if we choose to follow him.
Pray about everything. Allow God to share your life experiences. Confess sin and accept forgiveness. Explore the Bible daily. Learn to worship God. Make room in your life for God. Don't compartmentalize your relationship with God to one hour a week or just in seasons of trouble. Give God access to all your life and all your moments. It's about sharing life with God, the ups, the downs, the good, the bad. It is from this place that the Christian life is experienced and lived.
I would like to add that there is still room for men to join us at the Journey for Men Breakfast on Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m. We have a very special guest speaker, Senator Brian Birdwell, a retired colonel from the Army and a survivor of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon. He has an amazing story of courage, faith and heroism. If you have not yet signed up, contact Cindi Blackburn and sign up today. We are having such a great response that we are moving the breakfast from the Loft into the Gym. We anticipate a full house and maybe our largest men's event as we embrace this inspirational story of faith, country and family.

The story of the Christian life
October 23, 2014by Pastor Mike Ramsdell
Last year we celebrated Commitment Weekend, which is the season when we turn in our financial estimates of giving for the next year. It is an important time. We are about to begin that season again with our Be Rich emphasis.
I was surprised when it was brought to my attention that my 8- year-old grandson, Cody, had filled out, signed and turned in a commitment card for $65. This was to be given the following year. When they found out that they were moving to Puerto Rico the first week of January, Cody turned his offering in that Sunday, $65, money he had been saving for a long time. His family told him he did not have to do it, but he wanted to. And, with excitement and faith, he placed all the money he had in the world in the offering plate. Can you say "proud moment" for Granddad?
By the way, this divine moment for Cody doesn't mean he is more than eight years old. I played a video game with him not much later where he "killed" me a hundred times, howling with laughter every time Granddad bit the dust. I am sure he has been sent to his room a few times under the disciplinary tutelage of his parents.
A little boy with a divine moment where he experienced God's grace in an act of giving but knowing there are equal human moments where grace is known just as much − this is how love works.
This is much the way we are as adults. We have divine moments that rise in the sea of our own humanity. But this is what grace is and where we connect with God − when we love, give, serve and forgive. But equal grace is experienced when we fail, worry, even sin as God acts in us as much as he acts with us and through us. It's all part of the journey. We love as we have been loved, give as we have received, serve as we have been served. We will never catch up with God, but it is God who we follow as disciples of his Son, Jesus Christ.
I love that I can occasionally rise to the occasion as a Christian, serving in a special moment, reflecting God's love in a special season, giving to a cause above and beyond what I imagined I could do, all the ways that the Spirit works in my life. But I have learned to love equally as God bends down to where I sometimes find myself − a moment of depression, a season of failure, an act of sin. And, God forgives, loves and transforms that moment just as much by his grace in the cross; and from this place I rise again.
This is the story of the Christian life, the story of the church as well. We rise to the occasion in divine moments, but God also bends down to us in the moments that also happen that are only human. Thank you, God, for Jesus, the only one both human and divine.

2. Did the McGlynn family name their son "Four" because "Three" was taken?
3. Is God'sgift Achiuwa somehow related to former Providence star God Shammgod?
4. What are the odds McWisdon Badejo has a McDonald's ad in his future?
5. Could there be a more dream coaching matchup than Drexel (Bruiser Flint) vs. Coppin State (Fang Mitchell)?
And last but not least ...
6. This being college hoops, who's got a more academic name than Hippolyte Tsafack?

text: Palin Death Threats are the Predictable Result of Poor Editorial Judgments by John Sexton 13 Jan 2011 post a comment Share This: From ABC: An aide close to Sarah Palin says death threats and security threats have increased to an unprecedented level since the shooting in Arizona, and the former Alaska governor's team has been talking to security professionals. Since the shooting in Tucson, Palin has taken much heat for her "crosshairs" map that targeted 20 congressional Democrats in the 2010 mid-term election, including that of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was the main target of Saturday's attack. Yes, she has taken much heat from the media and the professional left for that map, including from ABC itself. Over and over again the networks have shown Palin's map without placing it in any context. I asked Jake Tapper about his report (which showed the map) via Twitter. Specifically I asked if it was fair to show Palin's map without at least noting that Democrats have done much the same thing in recent years. He responded that TV has time limits and that the report was fair without it. Jake is one of the best reporters out there in my opinion. He is scrupulously fair and has the track record to prove it. I don't believe any bias can be attributed to him in this instance. Indeed, I think his report went farther than most to point out the utter lack of any connection to Palin. He didn't entertain the idea so much as debunk it. Still, I think ABC's editorial decision, like that of nearly every MSM reporter, was wrong in this case. To show Palin's map in the wake of this tragedy is clearly "prejudicial" meaning it inevitably leads the jury of viewers to being biased against Palin (who was instantly framed as the defendant, often without benefit of counsel). I don't even blame viewers for assuming Palin has done something wrong and well outside the norm of political discourse. What else can they conclude based on what they've been shown? But much of that heat could have been evaporated by simply showing this comparable DCCC map from 2009-2010 which targeted Republicans opposed to the President's stimulus bill (the page has been removed but the official announcement mentioning the map is here and the internet archive of the page is here). Once you see this, you realize that what Palin did is not that unusual. If she is wrong then so is the DCCC. If there's a tone problem, it's no longer her tone or even her party's tone that is the problem. And so, by generalizing the problem, you also diffuse the anger it generates: The surge of anger being directed at Palin, which has now resulted in death threats, is the direct result of this flawed coverage. We know because the threats didn't tick up last week, they did so since the media began connecting her to this shooting. And what is the connection between her and it? It's the map. That's it. The target on Rep. Giffords district is her one and only connection to this case. Notice that I am not alleging some vague "tone" or "climate of hate" is responsible here. That's the kind of unfair, fact-free attack that has been waged on the right all week. I do not assume reporters are all partisan monsters who enjoy seeing Sarah Palin terrorized (though there are some on the left, like Kos, who clearly do). President Obama is right; we can do better than that kind of thinking. I believe this was a mistake, one that can still be at least partly rectified. The MSM should start by accepting responsibility for the error and for the very bad, but entirely predictable, consequences for Palin and her family. The MSM owes her a very big apology, not for a climate of hate, but for its poor judgment in this instance. Next, they should make sure that any future reports using Palin's map also contain the one directly above. That's what they should have been doing all along, frankly. If the MSM can't spare five seconds for a line like "Democrats have used similar maps in the recent past," then it shouldn't have mentioned Palin's map in the first place. Given that there was never any real connection between her and the murders in Arizona, perhaps that would have been the best editorial decision of all.

Once again the Heartland receives beneficial rains. A band of heavy rainfall set up across the metro the past 24 hours. Rainfall amounts ranged from 1 to 2.5 inches generally. Each week we continue to receive abundant moisture which has helped to ease the drought.
Drought intensity has lowered from severe to moderate across the majority of the metro and far southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa are now just experiencing abnormally dry conditions. The drought certainly isn't over yet but the situation continues to improve weekly.
Since March 1st, 9.76 inches of rain has been recorded in Omaha. That amount is over 3.5 inches above normal. So far this month in Omaha, about 4 inches of rain has fallen.

text: Fukushima 'unprecedented challenge': new Japan PM Print article Send a Tip AFP 12/29/2012 7:06:51 AM The clean-up at Fukushima after its tsunami-sparked nuclear meltdowns is unlike anything humanity has ever tried, Japan's prime minister said on Saturday during a tour of the plant."The massive work toward decommissioning is an unprecedented challenge in human history," the newly-elected Shinzo Abe said. "Success in the decommissioning will lead to the reconstruction of Fukushima and Japan."Abe was at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi just days after being sworn in following the triumph of his pro-business Liberal Democratic Party in national elections.The prime minister's trip to the still-ruined site, on which he was accompanied by an AFP journalist, is part of a push by his administration to tackle an issue that has been a major talking point in Japan over much of the last two years.Observers widely expect Japan to restart its nuclear programme on the LDP's watch, despite public concerns that the party was partially responsible for the extent of the catastrophe because of a culture of complicity during its more than five-decade rule.His government said Thursday it would review a pledge by the previous administration to scrap nuclear power within three decades and would give the green light to any power plants deemed safe by regulators.Japan's entire stable of 50 reactors was shuttered for safety inspections in the aftermath of the March 2011 disaster at Fukushima, where a tsunami swamped cooling systems, sparking meltdowns.The reactors at the plant raged out of control for months after the initial catastrophe, spewing radiation over a wide area and forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of people.Abe's visit comes around a year after experts said they had brought the wrecked units under control. However, melted fuel remains inside their cores and their full decommissioning and cleaning-up is expected to take decades.Dressed in a protective suit and wearing a face mask, Abe was taken by bus to see two of the damaged reactors.Thanking workers for their efforts at this time of year, when many people are celebrating New Year at home with their families, he said: "Decommissioning work is hard work, but it is progressing. We owe it all to you.""We, the government, will give full support."The disaster at Fukushima was the world's worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986. Work to clean up at the site in Ukraine is still going on, more than a quarter of a century after a reactor exploded.Before Fukushima, Japan had relied on nuclear for around a third of its electricity needs and there was little public debate about the merits of the technology.The meltdowns generated fierce opposition throughout the country, sending tens of thousands of people onto the streets.Opponents said lax oversight by nuclear regulators who appeared to have the interests of power companies at heart had exacerbated the impact of the accident.Fukushima operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) admitted earlier this year that it had not carried out upgrading and repair work at the site because it wanted to avoid alarming people over how safe reactors were.But the strong vein of anti-atomic sentiment did not translate into success at the ballot box earlier this month for parties championing an end to nuclear power.Abe's LDP won a healthy parliamentary majority, despite being widely viewed as the most pro-nuclear option on offer.

text: Cruz: Obama 'Absolutely' Abusing Power Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 30 Oct 2013 post a comment Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told Fusion TV host Jorge Ramos that President Barack Obama is "absolutely" abusing his power. In an interview that aired on Monday, Ramos mentioned a speech Cruz's father, Rafael, made in which he compared President Barack Obama to Fidel Castro. Cruz told Ramos his father was referring to a "statement President Obama made at the State of the Union where" Obama said "if Congress doesn't act to enact his agenda that he will do it anyway on his own." When Ramos pressed Cruz on whether he felt Obama was a dictator like Castro, Cruz said there were differences but said he was concerned about the "explosion of power in the federal government" under Obama. Cruz specifically cited the NSA surveillance program scandal and Obama's expansion of "presidential power in a way that is contrary to the constitution." When Ramos asked Cruz if he thought Obama was abusing his power, Cruz said Obama "absolutely" was. "I think he has absolutely been abusing his power and when you have a president who says 'regardless of whether Congress acts I'm going to force my agenda on the American people,' that's wrong, that's not consistent with our constitutional protections," Cruz said.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - A lawyer for a 73-year-old Sparks man accused of murder in the fatal shooting of an unarmed trespasser has waived his preliminary hearing and says they are ready to go to trial to prove he acted in self-defense.
A judge has scheduled a hearing in Washoe District Court Wednesday to consider lowering Wayne Burgarello's $2 million bail.
The ex-school teacher is charged with killing a 34-year-old man and seriously wounding a woman he found inside a vacant home he owns in February.
His lawyer, Theresa Ristenpart, says there's been a rush to judgment among some regarding the applicability of Nevada's "stand your ground" law.
Ristenpart says such laws have become a "politically charged issue" nationally. She's asking the public and media not to "imply such political overtones" in Burgarello's case.

All hard drives fail; that's just a fact of computing. Three years into a computer's life, I start to worry. Eventually, every drive will give out. That's why you should always back up your data.
Sometimes a drive will let go without warning. But many times, there will be signs in advance, like unexpected noises.
Fortunately, there is a better monitoring solution than listening for noise.
All new drives and computer motherboards have a monitoring system called S.M.A.R.T. This keeps records of drive statistics to determine its health. You just need a program to read the stored information.
CrystalDiskInfo is such a program. It gives you all the technical and S.M.A.R.T. information about your drive and can even include temperature.
Most of the information is very technical, but don't worry; the program also includes a simple Health Status meter you can read at a glance.
To download the program, click the green Download Now button in the middle of the page. You will be redirected to another page, but your download should start automatically. If it doesn't, click the small blue text link at the top of the page.
Select the option to run CrystalDiskInfo after installation. This will let you see a snapshot of your hard drive.
Note that this is a portable program so some antivirus will flag it as a malicious program. Don't worry; it's perfectly safe.

UK, 2006 (MIFF 2007, Jaguar International Panorama)
Director: Nick Broomfield
"A valuably tactless, steady, clear-eyed look at the tragedy and cruelty of the new globalised serfdom." - The GuardianIn February 2004, 23 illegal Chinese immigrants were drowned while cockle picking in the northwest of England, cut off by the incoming tides on an empty sandbar in the darkness of the night. It was this incident that momentarily shed grim light on the realities of the English workforce and the illegal immigrants who make up so much of it. Documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield's brutish account exposes the shame of a modern-day slavery that is ignored by an unsympathetic government and greedy enforcers. Most tellingly, he takes one of the survivors of the February 2004 incident and uses her as an 'actor' to recreate the journey from China to the mudflats of England's north.

Comment on Raising the Stoltzfus Barn, Horse-and-buggy Mennonites, and a 6th NY Amish funeral by Ellie.
Welcome back to the (very hot) States, Erik thanks for posting the address for the Amish Relief fund, as well as for all the interesting information. The house looks like one I remember seeing when I was "into" researching my family's genealogy about 10 years ago, but as far as I remember, my only link to Amish was a Beiler who married a Fisher, whose children all left the Amish long ago! Now I'll have to double check that. There is a group of Old Order German Baptists ( if I have the name right ) near me, who still use horses & buggies. A teenage boy was killed in an accident on his way home from Wal-Mart a few months ago – so sad! To think, in the accident you described, 13 orphaned children! Definitely a tragedy. The sheer number of those attending the funeral is hard to imagine – I've read that sometimes a funeral is held in 2 adjacent locations when there are a lot of attendees (eg, one service in a home, one in a barn) — does this really happen? Hope you had a nice weekend back on this side of the Atlantic!

LEE COUNTY- Oscar Dan Davis, 24, of Fort Myers was sentenced to nine years in prison on Thursday.
Davis was arrested by Cape Coral Police in 2008 for a series of armed robberies he committed throughout the city. Davis would confront his victims in the early morning hours, threaten them with a handgun and steal their money and/or property.
In one such robbery, Davis stole the victim's wallet and used his credit card to pay his cell phone bill. This is how detectives were able to identify him as a suspect and eventually arrest him on armed robbery charges. Davis would later be back out on the streets and resume his criminal activity.
This time, he started committing burglaries. Davis was again identified as a suspect in a string of residential burglaries occurring from Feb.-March of 2010.
Davis was arrested by Cape Coral Police in March of 2010 on charges of burglary and dealing in stolen property stemming from a home break-in on Feb. 14, 2010. Davis broke into the home and stole jewelry and later sold it to a pawn shop in Fort Myers.
Davis was sentenced to nine years in the Florida Department of Corrections with a Career Criminal designation of Habitual Felony Offender.
When the judge sentenced him to nine years, Davis thanked him for his leniency.

Happy holidays. To you.Tuesday, December 07, 2010
While I love Christmas, there are so many other wonderful holidays to celebrate in December. According to Seventh Generation, it is national hand washing awareness week. F-U-N. Danny Tanner would be all over this one.
I like to think that you all wash your hands on a regular basis. If not -- that's just gross. There are so many lovely varieties of soap out there so there's really no excuse. Here are a few of my favorite natural soaps. As you know...I like things as close to nature as possible. No harsh chemicals. Also gross.
But not as gross as not washing your hands.
Clockwise, from top left.
Method {sweet water is my favorite}
What's your favorite hand soap?

On June 27, 1944 in the St. George's Roman Catholic Church, Worcester, England, she married Jerome J. Fritz of St. Marys, who preceded her in death on Jan. 1, 1994.

The school's playground organizing committee anticipates they can raise $30,000 by the end of the current school year.
The end of the 2014 summer season also marked the end of an era at the St. Marys Community Pool as longtime pool manager Greg Snelick retired following more than 20 years of service at the facility.
Snelick got his start at the pool in the late 1980s as the assistant to Jim Wortman, who was the pool manager at the time. Wortman eventually stepped away from that position, which resulted in Snelick taking over. He remained manager for more than 20 years before deciding that this summer would be his last.

Pointing to the dangers of tobacco consumption, actor and former union minister Shatrughan Sinha today asked children to become ambassadors of the anti—tobacco campaign.
"Children should act as ambassadors of the crusade against tobacco use at home as well as in society," Sinha said addressing the silver jubilee function of DAV school, New Shimla.
Children can play an important role by dissuading their parents and elders from consuming tobacco. "Ask your parents and elders that you will not accept any gift on your birthday except a promise that they will not smoke cigarette, bidi, hookah," the BJP Lok Sabha MP from Patna Saheb in Bihar said.
Quoting figures, he said that "every 10 seconds a person dies of tobacco related disease in the world and in India every 40 seconds a person dies of the same."
Keywords: Shatrughan Sinha, tobacco, smoking

Man accused of offering alcohol to teen for sex acts held on $250,000 bail
Updated On: Dec 26 2013 02:20:50 PM EST
A man accused of having sexual contact with a 15-year-old girl appeared before a judge in Laconia on Thursday morning.
Click to watch News 9's report.
Authorities said David Ferland, 37, actually met two underage girls behind a Cinema 8 theater in Gilford, where police say Ferland provided alcohol for sex acts.
Ferland is a registered sex offender with an extensive criminal past that includes convictions on more than 30 counts.
"His criminal history includes multiple felonious sexual assaults, possession of child pornography and criminal solicitation and use of a computer," said Sgt. Eric Bredbury of the Gilford Police Department.
Due to those prior convictions, Ferland is banned from using the Internet.
But according to court paperwork, Ferland had posted multiple ads on Craigslist and sex-oriented websites for various forms of sex with men or women.
The paperwork said he often used the name "NHhick4u1" and included his telephone number.
Police said more charges involving the second teenage girl, who also met Ferland behind the movie theater, are likely.
Ferland was ordered held on $250,000 cash bail.
If he were to make bail, he is not allowed to return to the town of Gilford.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has arrived in Haiti, an impoverished nation struggling to overcome post-election violence and a cholera epidemic.
Palin arrived Saturday with the Rev. Franklin Graham as part of a humanitarian mission by his Samaritan's Purse relief organization.
Group spokeswoman Roseann Dennery says details about Palin's itinerary are not being released for security reasons.
The potential U.S. presidential candidate is expected to visit the Haitian capital and stop by cholera-treatment centers and other projects of Graham's charity group.

Motherzone Lyrics - Deathstars
Oh, human doll - you know I am the one
Now, broken doll… Now all ethic's gone
Because I'm the shelter and the knife ,The infernal tramp and the lies
And I'm inside you deep, The greatest tear when you weep
…The virus in your heart…
And this is how my name will shine and shine again
Above you child…
Alight and scarred I'll leave you alone in this place
Enter this world
I am the one
This is home
I am the Motherzone
Enter this world
I am the one
Return home
To the body of the Motherzone
Get in line, kids - you know I am the one
Oh, walk away with me… dead daughter and son
Well, I'm the source and the field, The shiny scythe that you wield
And I'll be the drug in your blood, The first wave of that flood
…The D in Darkness…
Come to me now, little child!
Motherzone, Motherzone, Motherzone
Come to me, you're the first in line!
Motherzone, Motherzone, Motherzone
Come to me…
Lick me dry!

Buttermilk Pound Cake Recipe
Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This cake is the one I make most often. It is a truly Southern recipe, and one I think can't be topped - once people taste it, they won't go back to their other recipes. —Gracie Hanchey, De Ridder, Louisiana
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2-1/2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
- Confectioners' sugar, optional
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking soda; add alternately with buttermilk and beat well. Stir in vanilla.
- Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 325° for 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 16-20 servings.

How to make a direct mailing break through the clutterMarch 24, 2007
The most successful business-to-business mailing I ever produced was early in my career, for a company called Acro Automation (http://www.acro.com*). It was a lead generation letter, mailed in a standard window envelope. But the envelope was stuffed with a wad of real shredded money. I bought the tangled remains of one-, five-, ten- and twenty-dollar bills direct from the U.S. Treasury, in eleven pound boxes. Each was enough to fill approximately 2,500 envelopes. Showing money fragments through the window of the envelope, along with a printed teaser that explained their relevance, was enough to trigger an 11% response rate from a notoriously non-responsive audience of production engineers.
Shortly after that mailing the government called an abrupt halt to the sale of this byproduct of monetary obsolescence. They apparently didn't appreciate my use of ex-money to generate more of the real stuff. But the lesson had been duly noted. I had learned how to reach out and grab the reader by the imagination: Be unique and outrageous.
I was reminded of this lesson when I read Seth Godin's account of marketing one of his books. Read his story and take heed. Reconsider that me-too mailing you were planning for your next promotion. Why settle for average when you can break records — and in the process, accumulate great stories, such as mine about the Treasury, and Seth's about his similar, bureaucratic battle with International Paper?
*I had nothing to do with their current web site, by the way, but I was involved in the acquisition of their four-letter domain name. At the time I had no idea how rare these would become. I was also responsible for another one of those: www.sofa.com. If I only knew then what I know now, I would have treated these as the valuable client assets that they are!

I used to operate a Direct Mail program at a newspaper. I told my clients that the piece had to capture the attention of the reader between the time they picked up the mail and walked to their trash can.
This is a great example!
