Hua Hin, Thailand, January 29, 2009 – Governments from across Asia's tiger range countries (TRCs) sent a powerful message that new efforts to save wild tigers from extinction would begin immediately and called for total protection of critical tiger habitats as the 1st Asia Ministerial Conference on Tiger Conservation concluded today at the resort of Hua Hin, Thailand.
The Royal Government of Thailand hosted the meeting. Thailand's Minister of Environment and Natural Resources Suwit Khunkitti pointed to commitments in the Hua Hin Declaration, and urged other TRCs to follow through with consolidated technical recommendations that resulted from an earlier meeting in Kathmandu on tiger conservation: "We shall reach up to the highest levels of our governments for support at the Year of the Tiger Heads of State Summit in Russia. Let us join together boldly to save the wild tiger."
Thailand made a number of new commitments at the conference:
7 ministers, along with senior delegations from 13 tiger range countries, gathered with top wildlife conservation experts and representatives from international organizations and donor institutions such as the World Bank, Global Tiger Initiative, WWF, Save the Tiger Fund, Wildlife Conservation Society, USAID, FREELAND, and TRAFFIC, to energize the wildlife conservation agenda, update national action plans, and announce specific proposals to reverse the continuing decline of tiger populations.
President of the World Bank Group Robert B. Zoellick, who launched the Global Tiger Initiative (GTI) in June 2008 together with the Smithsonian Institution, Global Environment Facility, and other partners, delivered a video message to the ministers and delegations, promising support for the range countries' efforts and to spearhead sustainable development in Asia: "The World Bank stands ready to support regional projects in the tiger range countries and to mobilize the donor community and develop innovative financial instruments to support tiger conservation funds." Populations of wild tigers have declined to only 3,200 worldwide, according to latest estimates, from 100,000 a century ago. The GTI is one of the drivers of the World Bank's commitment to new strategies that balance economic development with nature conservation, biodiversity and environmental protection. Another significant development in Thailand came from Prime Minister Vladmir Putin and the Government of the Russian Federation, who officially announced plans to host the Heads of State Summit in September.
The Hua Hin Declaration reflected agreement among the TRCs to redouble efforts on the ground to halt the decline of tigers and assist in recovery of habitats. An international donor conference is also planned later this year to support the countries to bring increased resources for integrated game-changing policy to save the species from extinction. Michael Baltzer, Leader of WWF Tiger Initiative, said: "We are delighted to see a ray of hope for the tiger as represented by the tiger range countries' commitment to work together to double wild tiger numbers by 2022. We look forward to seeing their pledges turn into firm actions in Vladivostok."
All 13 tiger range countries were represented in Hua Hin. They include Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Russia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Univision Radio, the radio division of Univision Communications Inc., the leading media company serving Hispanic America, will host its annual St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza ® (Promise and Hope) radio event to be held on Feb. 7 and 8 to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ®, one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other deadly childhood diseases.

Univision Radio stations in 17 participating cities across the country and Puerto Rico will dedicate two days, more than 30 hours of programming, to help St. Jude provide pioneering research and exceptional care to children battling deadly diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for anything. The radio event highlights St. Jude patient testimonials and radio promotions to encourage listeners to become Angeles de Esperanza (Angels of Hope) by making a donation of $20 per month.St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza will continue this year with the support of Univision's local television stations, online, mobile and social media platforms in addition to the Univision America AM radio network. During the broadcast, donations can be made using a debit or credit card by calling 1-800-998-8432 at no cost , which entitles donors to a St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza t-shirt; or by visiting promesayesperanza.org from any desktop, tablet or mobile device. Fans can also join the conversation on Twitter via @StJude and using the hashtag #StJudeUvn. "Univision Radio is committed to supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital," said Jose Valle, president of Univision Radio. "There is no place like St. Jude. Its doctors and scientists use a pioneering approach to develop and identify promising new treatments and drugs to help children in the United States, Puerto Rico and around the world have a chance at life." Since its inception in 1997, St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza has grown to be one of the most successful radio fundraising programs in the U.S. Hispanic market, raising more than $80 million in cash and pledges to help thousands of children like seventeen-year-old Susy. At St. Jude, doctors confirmed that Susy suffered from Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Susy's treatment includes eight weeks of chemotherapy and 17 rounds of radiation. To her family's relief, Susy has responded well to treatment and will finish treatment soon. Many children like her are able to dream of a future because they are receiving exceptional medical care and their families will never have to pay St. Jude for anything.

"I would not be an old man if I had not been an armed young man." JTJ
I was taught to respect my elders but they are getting harder to find.
I've been saying 5 years it less, but I keep shortening the time frame. I'm now thinking 2 years, tops. Unless there is some serious appeasement coming our way.
Imo, there are a number of things that have perculated up to be taken notice of. I feel no need to list them again in this post, as they drip thru this forum with great frequentcy.
Any of the scenerios which we talk about could be the catalyst for what we fear most, the safety of our families and friends and our ability to protect them. Civil unrest and martial law are hand and glove.
I'll go with the Mayan calender. Atleast that gives us 1 full year to the day.
I didn't read it all, but I'm guessing he's after your money by useing scare tactics. A sound financial strategy is to generally ignore guys named Porter.
There is certainly some sort of sales pitch aspect to this or use the article at the very least to draw attention to his services for investment info/strategy. The info and stats seem pretty accurate and is worth the read. The only issue I have with the investment aspect is that if this guy really believes SHTF is less than year away why would anyone bother with T-Bills,etc...?! Seems like a waste of funds when you could put them to much better use for ammo, food, etc...
I think the scariest thing about the possibility of SHTF in the very near future is that it could happen very quickly when it does go. Also, I believe that it will not necessarily take a large event such as a coordinated terrorist attack, full financial collapse, etc... I think it could possibly happen from a much smaller event which may cause, at first, localized panic which then leads to much more wide spread panic and so on. Much like the rush on gas stations that we have encountered here a few times in the last couple years. Where all it takes is a few ill placed news reports or rumors of gas shutdown or heavy shortages, then you hear the news report and may be a little concerned but don't believe it enough to run to the gas station, but then some others who are feeling the same see much longer lines than normal at the stations and of course start thinking "wow, there is really something to this!" and stop as well thinking that if they don't fill up while they can.... and then the wide spread panic starts to set in with people scrambling everywhere, traffic jams, etc...
That is my fear anyway, that it may not take an event that, in and of itself, would really warrant an all out collapse, but due to the current state of things with unemployment, banks, general unrest and uncertainty that it would quickly turn into a self fulfilling prophecy due to a wildfire of wide spread panic. I am sure I would be sucked in by it as well because if something happens then you see the news reports hyping things up, traffic begins to build with people rushing home from work to try to get to their families - who is really going to be willing to take the gamble that it is not really the beginning of the big SHTF? Will we know 100% certain - "This is it!" ? Will it begin as a whisper? Or a thunder clap?

Greeenville Area Interfaith Hospitality Network
"The Mission of the Greenville Area Interfaith Hospitality Network (GAIHN) is to assist local congregations to share hospitality (in the form of emergency lodging and meals) with homeless families, and to help those families achieve self-sufficiency and self-fulfillment.
Our goal is to alleviate homelessness by fostering the development of Networks that provide shelter, meals, and assistance for homeless families, and that increase community involvement in direct service and advocacy."—From www.gaihn.org
This ministry has had a positive impact on our membership because they are directly involved in providing hospitality to those who are struggling. Our members have learned more about the problems facing homeless families and how easy it is to become homeless by our interaction. We have been amazed at how much the participants work to better their lives not only for themselves but for their children and what sacrifices they are willing to make. We host families three times a year and it is a church wide effort with multiple Sunday School classes as well as many individuals cooking meals, playing with the children, sleeping in the church with our families in case they have any needs during the night.
We even had the opportunity to open our doors for a family that had their house burn down because they had family already staying at our church.
If you would like to participate in this ministry please contact the outreach committee at email@example.com or sign up to HOST!

Grand Central Terminal may be one of the world's most recognizable structures, but the building most New Yorkers know today was not what the original architects had in mind. NY1's Jill Urban filed the following report.
It's one of New York's most magnificent landmarks. With its Beaux Arts design, cavernous corridors, star studded sky and massive marble staircases, Grand Central Terminal is a true symbol of grandeur. As NY1 celebrates its centennial, the station looks back at how the structure took shape and shaped the area around it.
For starters, it was not originally designed to be one station.
"Originally designed to be three railroad stations under one roof to take care of three different kinds of traffic: The long distance incoming traffic, the long distance outgoing traffic and the suburban traffic." said John Belle of Beyer Blinder Belle Architects.
During the restoration in 1998, architect John Belle and his team devised a plan to reconnect those three circulation systems so they could work as one. Among their other projects was the creation of a second staircase in the main hall that was in the original plans but never built.
"It was not built because at that time, 1910, the building was being finished, there really was no place to go on the east side of the terminal. It was still tenements and slaughter houses, an undesirable place to be. So they saved some money by not building it. And we thought it was our mission to complete the thought that Whitney Warren had," said Frank Prial of Beyer Blinder Belle Architects.
The original plans also called for a Beaux Arts-style tower above the station to serve as home to the railway companies. But with changing times and the increase popularity of the highway system and air travel, those plans were scrapped and years later a new tower was built above underscored by Pan American Airlines, now the Met Life building.
While the main building is on 42nd Street, many people do not realize Grand Central Terminal technically goes all the way up to 97th Street underground and it's those underground tracks that paved the way for Park Avenue.
"They covered over the railroad tracks and then leased or sold the air rights and those air spaces or air rights we'd sell is what we call midtown Manhattan," said Urban Historian Justin Ferate.
So, 100 years ago, when the architects designed one iconic building, they also put the future of a city on track.

NC Skiing
December 23, 2010 by Gary · Leave a Comment
Winter started early in December and we've already had about 19 inches of fresh snow during the last several weeks. Christmas is promising to be a "white" one with several more inches expected. This is great for skiers, snowboarders, snow tubers and anyone who enjoys seeing and being in the white stuff. We're fortunate to be close to Ski Beech ( 14 slopes are open with a 40-70 inch base ), Sugar Mountain ( 15 slopes open with a 38-72 in. base and 5 700 foot tubing lanes are open plus ice skating ), Appalachian Ski resort ( 12 slopes open with a 57-85 in. base plus ice skating ). Hawksnest Resort boasts a 20 lane tubing park with lanes up to 1,000 feet long ! These resorts are a 30 minute drive from our inn except for Beech Mountain which is about 40 minutes away. Whatever your favorite snow activity is there's plenty of action nearby.

Holiday weekend ahead
January 12, 2010 by Gary · Leave a Comment
Today, while we were talking about & planning our week, we suddenly
realized that next Monday January 18th ( a week away ) is a Federal
holiday. So,if you have Monday off from work, is the coming weekend
a time when you want to get away for a night or 2? If it is then
consider coming to the Baird House. Tonight, as we write this,
room availabilty & selection is at its best. We still have a lot of
snow on the ground which adds to the beauty of the area, our roads
are in excellent condition and we are finally out of the "deep
freeze" frigid air mass we've been under for weeks ( weekend
forecast high temps are much milder,in the upper 30's/low 40's
range ).The ski slopes and tubing runs are rockin' and probably are
in the best shape they've been in in many years.
We'll provide you with a
complimentary bottle of wine upon your arrival if you make a
reservation for this weekend. Just let us know if you prefer a red
or a white when reserving. We're also trying to arrange restaurant
discounts for our guests ( ask us which restaurants will participate
when you reserve ).

Huge snowfall excites skiers
December 22, 2009 by Gary · Leave a Comment
Last weekend 12 inches to 24 inches of snow fell ( depending on one's elevation )over the High Country, a huge launch to this winter's ski and snow tubing season. Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain and Appalachian Ski Resort ( near Blowing Rock ) are now in full swing. Sugar & Appalachian are 30 minutes from the Baird House bed and breakfast inn. Hawksnest, located in Seven Devils, has the longest snow tubing park on the East Coast and is 25 minutes from the Baird House. According to a local reputable weather forecaster Valle Crucis and surrounding area will have more snow this year than last year with projections of upwards of 90 inches. The town of Boone is a short 15 minute drive from the inn. A common question people ask is ," do we need a four wheel drive vehicle ?" and the answer is "not really" . Since tourism is the #1 industry here the county does an excellent job of cleaning the roads.
Make your plans now to visit our beautiful area !

Campaign Video by M. Historia Natural
The Shorty Interview with M. Historia Natural
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That is a frivolous and useless thing-in-the-Internet, instead of being valued for what it really is: a powerful tool of communications.
Twitter or Facebook?
Let us put it this way: if there was a "social media marriage" Facebook and Twitter would be a match made in heaven. Inseparable.
How do you decide what to tweet?
We follow the editorial line of the museum, even when something important or urgent occurs. The rule is not to go far from the museum themes.
How do you make your tweets unique?
Basically putting in humour, or at least an amicable and accesible language, it's a key element to get the general public closer to scienceView M. Historia Natural's complete Shorty Interview

I have a 1980 FLH with belt drive like the other review side so I got it all together to find out the screw holes didn't match up with the stock outer cove and the screws were smaller then the stock one's so I had to fix the hole's the best I could and tap to make it work. P.S Check it to see if it will work before you grind on if.

Fits the 77 shovel wonderful. Changed over to a drive belt 1 1/2" and had to do some shaving on the inside to make it work. Still no biggie looks good! If I were to leave it wet, woulda worked just fine

The new Superman v Batman poster has got fans turning to Photoshop to brighten up Clark Kent.
Zack Snyder's moody Man of Steel angered many Superman fanboys and fangirls, who weren't expecting Superman to be a tortured anti-hero.
Judging by the cloudy skies, rain and darkness in the movie's poster, Snyder is sticking with a grim tone for its sequel Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice.
But thanks to Photoshop, one Superman fan made his desire for a cheerier Big Blue (a nickname for Superman) known.
Superman looked miserable so I cheered him up a bit, bless. pic.twitter.com/aGs5eiJOAp— Lee Binding (@LeeBinding) July 3, 2014
Now that's the super-cheery Superman we want to see.

But it was her fourth, a self-proclaimed "chick book" starring none other than herself as a bright and lovable flake, that catapulted her to celebrity status among womenfrom midlife working mothers to twentysomething book clubbers. In Gilbert, women many, many womensaw themselves, or the self they wanted to be, or the best friend they wish they had; in her journey, they saw a way to change their own frustrating, guiltridden, or simply stalled-out lives. Which is partly why so many people love her, or at least love the memoir that's got her wit, vulnerability, and humility in every line. And when I say love, I mean worship. On an EPL Facebook fan pagecreated by an anonymous Gilbert acolyte "to spread the joy received from reading the book"some 3,095 diehards (and counting) can't stop gushing, "Loving and savoring every moment," and "This book is me right now. I am in her shoes. I am walking this path."
And then there's Oprah. "I haven't been this excited since Bono was here," she effused at the first of two (yes, two) Gilbert appearances in late '07. The second show featured fans of the book who, inspired by Gilbert, made either mini life changes (an art gallery owner threw a birthday party featuring food from all the EPL countries) or major ones (dropping out of law school, taking off for their own trips to Italy or Bali to sample the pizza, meet the medicine man, try the same multivitamin lunch special "Liz" did).
"She tapped into the middle-aged woman culture of self-reinvention," explains Sara Nelson, the former editor in chief of Publishers Weekly, about Gilbert's almost cultish fan base. That, and she nailed the voice. "There are other books about food in Italy that we don't all know about. The truth will out in the writing and the sensibility."
Of course, like anyone who rises from mid-list "literary" author to giga-selling, internationally known guru-star, Gilbert also has her skeptics and detractors, most of whom can be found online at Amazon.com or on blogs yapping about how she's "whiny" and "culturally oblivious." The New York Post 's Maureen Callahan wrote that the book demonstrates "the worst in Western fetishization of Eastern thought and culture, assured in its answers to existential dilemmas that have confounded intellects greater than hers" (to which Gilbert responded, in USA Today, "Mine is just a simple old human storyof one person trying, with great rigor and discipline, to comprehend her personal relationship with divinity"). And then there are the snobs, initially spurning EPL as another fluffy It Memoir only to find themselves eventually sneaking it onto the subway (hidden inside The New Yorker, of course) or at home, turning pages in bed. "I was prepared to hate it, to roll my eyes at her narcissism and deplore the mealymouthed New Agespeak," says one anonymous convert who works in publishing. "She writes so precisely about delicately shifting mental states, and so palpably about pleasure physical, spiritual, sexualwithout dipping too far into blowsiness. I felt annoyed with myself for having avoided the book for so long." In the end, her fans and admirers well outnumber her disparagers a fan base that could remain, grow, or shift with the release of her next book, loosely scheduled for publication late this year or early next.

Simple innovation & fear
I met a really smart person yesterday. It was a stand up conversation after a business breakfast seminar where like minds often gather to share a few ideas before parting ways. In this short time, it must have been less than 10 minutes, she managed to impart upon me two very innovative ideas that I immediately wanted to share on startup blog. They may not be new, but she put a certain spin on them and I'm yet to see them in market. A smart brand that actually cares would find a way to implement them.
1. The Full Supermarket Trolley:
Supermarkets should have an isle for their most valuable customers – those with full shopping trolleys. Instead what they have is specific isles for their least valuable customers – those with hand baskets. What supermarkets should have is a policy that says if your trolley is full – you never have to wait behind a person with one or two items or a hand basket. Maybe you press a button for the 'golden trolley lane' and someone comes from out the back to help you or something. Counter intuitive sure, but this is the type of thinking real marketers do, while engineers and logistics managers chase efficiency based on non customer metrics. While it's easy to argue that it is all too hard, and that there is no quick way to scan all the items of a full trolley, it really is just old world thinking getting in the way of actually caring. In the age of 'self scanning' checkouts, surely every person using a trolley could self scan their items with a mobile scanner as they place them in the trolley.
2. The 19 hour Hotel Room:
We check into hotels in order to have somewhere to sleep and it is expected that this is largely overnight. But in this day and age, why should it be? With hectic business travel and strange flight times, surely the period of stay should be up to the customer. So why don't any 5 star hotels allow you to choose the 19 hours you need? It is because they are more concerned with the rostering of their cleaning staff than they are with their paying customers. The regular business hours or work day is yet another legacy relic based on a passed era. Surely the staff can be reorganized around the customers?
Both of these are simple innovations we are yet to see. Both are technically possible. Both would create interest and attention. Both would reward valuable customers. Both are yet to happen because of inertia and fear.
A funny thing about these innovations and fear, is that the person who shared them with me didn't want me to link back to her in this post. I immediately told her that I wanted to share her ideas with my readers and give her the due credit, but she didn't want it. When I asked her why, she mentioned that some of her clients where large supermarkets and she didn't want to upset them or big note herself. She said I could blog away, take the ideas….. And while I can see her point, and respect her decision, I can't help but think that the world (and maybe her business partners) are missing out on more of her wisdom because someone just might be offended.
Ironically, the same fear that stopped her ideas being implemented in hotels and supermarkets, is the fear she is suffering from. The fear of upsetting the status-quo for a minority, at the expense of making things better for the majority. In reality almost all innovations have a cohort of detractors, it's just the way it is. We should push things forward regardless.
Startup blog says: Ideas need to be free and shared, and if our sentiment is positive, nothing should stop us.
Dubai Series: Hotel Sampling
Once you pass through the customs area in the Dubai International Airport they have a very interesting area reserved for Hotels as can be seen below.
The area has all of the 5 star hotels from the city represented. The general idea is that each hotel has a mini foyer with the exact styling and ambiance of the actual hotel. The mini foyer has Video footage of the hotel, details on menus and hotel services, samples of the haute couture fragrances in room and some even have masseurs for weary travelers to encourage / reward bookings. Concierge salespeople are there to explain the benefits and convert the sale. For those already booked they have a comfortable waiting location where they serve refreshments until the hotel driver arrives.
A simple idea, but one which makes sense for such a burgeoning metropolis and shows that even the oldest industries can innovate too.

Thank you for expressing an interest in interning in the office of Rep. John D. Dingell! As an intern, you would be a welcomed member of our team, which is dedicated to offering the best service possible to the people of Michigan's 12th District.
Washington, DC
Washington is a great place for students to learn how their government works, but it is much more. The Washington experience, and in particular the experience of working for Congress on "the Hill", teaches valuable work and social skills. It is an experience that is enormously beneficial to students as they prepare for their professional future.
Students chosen will perform a variety of duties for our office, and will play an active role in performing the daily tasks that face a Member of Congress. Interns will have the opportunity to learn and assist all members of my office, assisting with legislative, press, and administrative duties.
An internship on Capitol Hill is what one makes of it. Dedicated interns have the opportunity - provided they are motivated, energetic, and creative - to learn how legislation becomes law and affects peoples' lives. Many of our former interns have later chosen government service as a career.
We are always looking for hard working students who are interested in entering public service or learning how Congress functions.
Congressional Internship Form - Washington
In my Michigan office, interns may be asked to do a variety of things, including day-to-day office work such as answering phones, writing letters and assisting with media clips. In addition, interns may be assigned to assist in various constituent case work or work on District-based projects of importance.

Oldham homeowners and business owners are now required to register alarm systems with Oldham County Police.
According to an ordinance approved by Oldham fiscal court, alarm owners must obtain a permit within 30 days of obtaining an alarm system. Permits must be updated or renewed only if the property changes hands.
After a 7 to 1 vote by members of the Oldham County Fiscal Court, a red light was issued concerning a proposed ordinance to permit the use of golf carts on public roadways.
The golf carts must be operated by licensed drivers and must within five miles of a golf course and on roadways with speed limits under 35 miles per hour.
BUCKNER – There's not an "under new management" sign around the Oldham County Piranhas swimming scene – but there could be.
For the first time in the history of the program, John W. Black Aquatics Center director Laura Feese isn't leading the team. Instead, a trio of swimmers who came up in the Piranhas' program, Erin Esterle, Shane Wisecarver and Nicole Althoff along with Cy Tucker and Megan Burns are running the show.
Tucker is a long-time assistant leaving Burns as the only newcomer.
Residents of the city of Prospect won't see a property tax increase this year as the Prospect City Council approved the same rate as last year, a rate of 21.25 cents per $100 of assessed property. At that rate, those residents of Prospect who live within Oldham County paid a higher rate than any other residents of Oldham. Other cities in the county have yet to approve a rate for next year.

Sewer district officials avoided having a second rate increase this year, but they're telling customers to expect rate hikes during the next five years.
Members of Oldham fiscal court reviewed the Oldham County Sewer District's budget Tuesday and approved a revenue option that doesn't include an increase in rates but does include debt refinancing.

Teachers aren't the only employees losing their jobs due to budget cuts at Oldham County Schools. Two central office positions and two career center positions will be eliminated effective July 1.
Superintendent Paul Upchurch said he decided to eliminate positions for a district communications director and a facilities consultant. Those positions save a little more than $100,000 in district funds.
"It's strictly a financial decision," Upchurch said.

"I grew up with the best mommy in the world," she says. "She was very adamant about teaching the real reason for each season. Easter was one of those times where we celebrated what Jesus did for us. Not only did He die; He was resurrected. We were always seeking ways to honor that sacrifice. "That rings so true for me now," Melinda continues. "In my everyday decisions, I want to honor that. I love the way they're coupling Easter with service." Melinda's transparency, enthusiasm and conviction pulse through her every word. Those very things helped catapult her to international renown on "American Idol." Fittingly, her character, yucca root Cassie Cassava, has also been quite successful on a similar platform—"America's Got British Judges." When her celebrity drives others to make some not-so-good decisions, she is "pulled in a lot of directions. Hilarity ensues…everything goes wrong…" No need to spoil the ending, but suffice it to say that as Easter dawns, the garden brigade has learned a lesson or two about self-sacrifice, generosity of spirit and, of course, how to win over British judges. "At the end of the day, they all realize that helping someone doesn't have to be a huge act. It can be simple," Melinda says. Don't miss out on this must-see film for kids of all ages! Editor's Pick: Don't miss out on another out-of-the- ballpark project from Veggie Tales, Hosanna, a collection of worship songs featuring all the favorite veggies with special appearances by Amy Grant and Mark Hall. As the mother of a toddler, I give this two-thumbs-up for keeping my son entertained and me very happy!

My brilliant response? "Umm… so… what were you?" (Sadly, I couldn't identify the vegetation she was portraying.) "I was a Yucca root," she says with a laugh. "It kind of looks like a sweet potato which is my favorite thing ever. It's also what World Vision uses in Africa to help feed impoverished people in Africa." I shouldn't be surprised… when it comes to vegetables, ministry and Melinda, symbolism is rife throughout. The vegetables to which we are speaking are, of course, our dear, sweet friends at Veggie Tales. Their latest, Twas the Night Before Easter, takes a look at helping others… and how the simplest of things can bring great blessings. Partnering with World Vision, Big Idea (the creators of Veggie Tales) are encouraging folks to do the simple act of sponsoring a child to change a life. "At the end of the day, it can be as easy as helping someone next door," says Melinda. "It doesn't have to be a huge act. It really can be as easy as sponsoring a child." 30 CCM

A toddler from Indonesia has already got a 40-a-day habit after his father introduced him to smoking when he was just 18 months old.
Two year old Ardi Rizal is totally addicted to nicotine, if he doesn't get his favourite brand of smokes he loses his temper and bangs his head against the wall until he's allowed to light up. Ardi's 26 year old mother Diana has been trying to get her son to quit, but says she hasn't been able to.
The little boy is a proper little fatty, already weighing in at four stone and just two years old. Ardi just trundles along on a toy truck chain smoking as he is too unfit to run around playing with the other children in his neighbourhood.
Mohammed Rizal, the child's father a 30 year old fishmonger gave him his first cigarette when he was just 18 months old, and is totally unrepentant.
"He looks pretty healthy to me. I don't see the problem" Mohammed said.

Museum to host cigar-box guitar workshop
Bob Johnson's unbridled passion for making cigar-box guitars began innocently enough, when a friend asked him to do a simple favor.
In the process, Johnson stumbled across the world of cigar-box guitars, and the favor almost didn't get done.
"I started making these cigar-box guitars, and it took me close to a year before I got around to (fulfilling the favor)," Johnson says. "As I kept making the guitars, I got fairly good at it. It's fun, it's interesting, there are no rules, and each guitar presents its own set of challenges, because every cigar box is different."
Johnson, of Hillsborough, will lead a cigar-box guitar-making workshop Saturday afternoon at the High Point Museum.
Starting with cigar boxes, lumber from a hardware store, minimal guitar hardware and hand tools found in most garages, Johnson will craft two high-quality cigar-box guitars over the span of a couple of hours. He'll cover everything from materials acquisition, tools and cigar box preparation to internal bracing, neck shaping, fretting, stringing, tuning and intonation.
He'll also cover the history of cigar-box guitars and the different styles of cigar-box guitars, and his presentation will be interspersed with musical demonstrations by a couple of experts, Justin Johnson and Wes "Moaning Mule" Yates.
"Justin is a wizard with cigar-box guitars," Johnson says. "You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him playing a cigar-box guitar and Chet Atkins playing a traditional acoustic guitar."
Johnson began making the unique guitars several years ago, after a schoolteacher friend asked him if he could make some canjos — stringed musical instruments fashioned largely from a coffee can and a piece of wood — for his young students.
"I did some online research on how big to make them and how to make them to scale, and in doing that I bumped into this burgeoning subculture of cigar-box guitar building," he recalls. "Having been a cigar smoker in the '80s, I had a bunch of old cigar boxes, so I decided to make one, and I forgot all about the canjos."
After several years of making the instruments, Johnson has become picky when it comes to the cigar boxes he uses.
"People look at me pretty strange when I go to cigar stores, because I'm picking up the empty boxes and tapping them, listening for the sound," he says with a chuckle. "I look at the cigar boxes probably as closely as a lot of people look at the cigars."
Johnson's nickname, "Maduro Bob," refers to a type of cigar — the only kind Johnson would smoke when he was a cigar aficionado.
During Saturday's workshop, he'll go through the entire guitar-building process, demonstrating that it requires a certain amount of patience and precision, but you need not be a master craftsman.
Johnson typically sells his cigar-box guitars for anywhere from $125 to $350. They can be found on his website, www.madurobob.com.
"I think what really draws me to this is that my day job is a desk job," he says, "and like so many people with desk jobs, I work and stress all day long, and at the end of the day I can't point to something and say 'That's what I did today.' But at the end of the day, I can go in my shop and build a guitar, and it's something I can point to and say 'That's what I did.' And it's music, so it's fun."

Want to go?
Bob "Madurobob" Johnson will lead a cigar-box guitar-making workshop Saturday, from 1 to 3 p.m., at the High Point Museum, 1859 E. Lexington Ave.
The workshop will be interspersed with live performances by Justin Johnson and Wes "Moaning Mule" Yates, demonstrating various cigar-box guitar playing techniques.
The two guitars created during the workshop will be raffled by the museum, with all proceeds benefiting the museum.
In conjunction with the workshop, a new exhibit, "Homegrown Harmony," will be open through mid-April in the museum lobby. The exhibit features examples of handmade banjos from a local collector, as well as one from the High Point Historical Society's collection — a wooden cigar-box banjo made by Levi White Johnson of Thomasville around 1900. He was a brickmason, carpenter and blacksmith until he lost his sight in 1935; he played music until his death in 1964.
For more information, call the museum at 885-1859 or visit www.highpointmuseum.org.

Kids do change everything -- from the hours you keep, to the clothes you wear, to the friends you make. The new film FRIENDS WITH KIDS is a daring and poignant ensemble comedy about a close-knit circle of friends at that moment in life when children arrive and everything changes. The last two singles in the group observe the effect that kids have had on their friends' relationships and wonder if there's a better way. They decide to have a kid together – and date other people.
There are big laughs and unexpected emotional truths as this unconventional 'experiment' leads everyone in the group to question the nature of friendship, family and, finally, true love.
After all, once "we" becomes "three" (or more), your relationship with your partner can reach an entirely new level as the two of you marvel over the amazing little people who've changed your lives -- and the amazing things they say. In fact, the next time you and your mate put in an all-nighter with a toddler who's afraid of the dark, or you're covered in the peas you can't get your picky eater to eat, remember the free comedy show that's also a part of your parenting routine.
Yep, the stuff that comes out of a kid's mouth often puts a seasoned comedian to shame. You're laughing, gasping for air and slowly sliding off your seat while thinking, "I can't believe he just said that!" That's why we asked moms to pitch in their fave wise words o' their wee-ones, and picked the best of the bunch for your reading pleasure. (P.S.

A New Year, A New Start
Amy Campbell
January 5, 2009
Happy New Year! I hope you all had enjoyable and restful holidays. I was fortunate enough to have almost two weeks off from work. But vacation is over — it's back to work for me this week.
Now that a new year has started, it's inevitable that one might begin to think about how 2009 will be different. It's like starting with a clean slate. Some folks make resolutions to lose weight, eat better, exercise more. Others clean their houses, organize their closets, or move their furniture around. And then, some people don't change anything. It's just another day, another month, another year.
Whether or not you believe in New Year's resolutions, or starting fresh, or wiping the slate clean, you might think about using this time of year to take stock of how things are going for you and your diabetes. It's a good idea to do this periodically, anyway, just as you'd take time to review your investments, clean out your sock drawer, or even evaluate your career, for example. Yet at the same time, many people resist this evaluation process.
Change can be hard, and sometimes things get so overwhelming that it's easier to just ignore them. For example, take the person who is overweight and needs to lose 30 pounds. Thirty pounds is a lot of weight to lose, and chances are this person has made previous attempts to lose weight, but didn't manage to keep that weight off. So, why try again, only to fail again? this person may be thinking.
This year, maybe it's time to think about things a little differently. Rather than biting off more than you can chew to make changes (i.e., "I'm going to go to the gym every day" or "I'm only going to eat salads for dinner") or just not doing anything at all, why not resolve to work on one or two things that are doable and relatively easy? Has your physician or diabetes educator ever advised you to set achievable goals or work on one thing at a time? Well, maybe now is the time to put that advice to good use.
Below is a list of some simple, yet significant, suggestions that you're more than welcome to use. Or, if none of these suggestions are appealing, think about some steps that you might take this month either to get yourself back on track or keep yourself on the straight and narrow. Don't worry if something you decide to try seems trivial or unimportant. The fact that you decide to do something is a step in the right direction. As the saying goes, "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step."
Diabetes Management
Healthy Eating and Weight Management
Physical Activity
Did you find anything that you can try over the next few weeks? If not, think of some of your own. And feel free to share some tried and true methods that have worked for you here with a comment!
I just reread this article and the website that Amy suggested at Walgreen's was great! the fit in a minute section is really informative as well as being short and to the point. I will be checking this site periodically for new articles.

Creative SB X-Fi: Speakers refuse to mute upon inserting headphones.
As it stands right now, my Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card will not allow me to plug in my headphones via the front panel of my desktop. (This makes sense, as the onboard audio solution was disabled upon installation of the card.)
Thinking that this would only be a minor setback, I purchased a simple Y audio cable that enabled me to plug in both the speakers and the headphones at the same time.
Unfortunately, this does *not* work as well as I intended. (It merely reduces the output of each, while simultaneous emitting sound. Nothing is muted.) Furthermore, it seems I can not get my card to actually *detect* the headphones. Whenever I insert them, it still tells me I have a 2.1 system installed.
Is there anything I can do about this?
|My System Specs
|15 Jun 2012
Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8.1.1 Pro 64 bit
Have you tried changing the front panel headphone/mic jacks from the Integrated audio (connection on the motherboard) to a connection on the SoundBlaster? I know that is not possible on some factory PC's (older Dell's had this problem) but on others they have a standard HD audio connection on the motherboard and in those models you can unplug it from the motherboard and connect it to the sound card (in this case the SoundBlaster).
Check the Lenovo documentation on this model and see if there is a separate cable that you can move to the SoundBlaster.
If this is not possible, and you have an open 3 1/2" bay or a 5 1/4" bay (a CD drive bay) you can buy an I/O panel that will give you the headphone/mic capability from the SoundBlaster.
There should be adapters available at places such as www.newegg.com or www.compusa.com
Here is one that I found doing a google search: FRONTX - FRONT PANEL COMPUTER PORT ( front usb, front ieee 1394 connector, etc )
|My System Specs
|15 Jun 2012
I would advise connecting your computer case's audio jacks to the header pinouts found on the your Xtreme Audio card, then get rid of the "Y" cable and connect your speakers to the output jacks located on the back of the card. Once that is done use the Creative Console to detect your headphones.
When using the "Y" cable, it is not possible for any sound card to detect your headphones.

What Will the Next Generation Farm Look Like?
Changes are coming to America's cattle ranches. Operators and their employees will have new technology at their fingertips, and will require a new set of skills to employ it; the operators themselves will be changing, as will the sizes of their enterprises. And they'll be less independent than they've been in the past.

The final project is an opportunity for you to
combine your research and writing skills and develop a project that
reflects aspects of Roman history that interest you. Your main source
of material is Shelton's As the Romans Did. You are to
select one chapter, read all of the primary source materials and
Shelton's commentary, and over the course of the rest of the semester
write two 300-word essays and one 3000-word paper.
The first short paper is due in class
on Friday, November 12th, and will focus on what chapter and issues
you have chosen to address. Feel free to write the paper in the
first person if you so choose. Compose it as you would any paper,
with an introduction, a body of a few paragraphs and a conclusion.
In that essay, explain why you have chosen that chapter and what
issues you intend to consider.
The second short paper is due in
class on Wednesday, December 1st, and will consist of a sample of
your final paper. This could consist of the introduction or any
other part of the final version. It should include your own prose,
crafted to form a portion of the final thesis you will present,
and some of the primary sources either as quotations or as citations,
to substantiate your arguments with evidence. This last issue is
critical; the second essay is not only an opportunity to demonstrate
your thinking and your cogent writing, but as well that you know
how to use, cite and analyze evidence to persuade your audience.
For proper citation of ancient sources (the primary evidence) and
modern scholarship (Shelton's book), see the department's webpage
on citation.
Please read this webpage carefully, as it is the standard to which
I shall hold your citation of the sources.
The final, longest paper, approximating
10 pages (3000 words), is due on Thursday, December 16th, at noon
and in my office. No late papers will be accepted; this is absolute.
If you wish, you may take a fictional
stab at papers two and three. That is, you may utilize the sources
just as you would in a research paper, but could do so in a creative
way. You might, for example, reconstruct the life of fictional slave,
or create a fictional scenario among various characters from the
Roman world. If you choose this path, you still must use, cite and
analyze the evidence to persuade, but can do so in a more creative
fashion. If this is the tack you decide to take, please indicate
as such in the first essay.

I am a little confused, you say you have every upgrade you can get with frost emblems, then you ask about t10?
So you have the Cataclysmic Chestguard, Corroded Skeleton Key, Cloak, and Gauntlets?
Or is it that you don't want the gauntlets because you are hoping for a drop?
If you are counting on drops, keep saving and run 25 man ICC. Don't buy anything until you have the armor token to upgrade it... You'll be wasting more on gems/enchants than it's worth.
