The Infinite Realm, a gospel music band organized by a group of Trimble County High School students in the late 1960s, will celebrate 40 years of Christian music ministry with a reunion concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at Bedford Baptist Church.
Veterans Day is Wednesday, Nov. 11, and The Trimble Banner and The News-Democrat are publishing another "sample" issue, similar to the 62-page monster published July 29. Because of the timing, we decided to use the issue to pay tribute to the military veterans from both counties. To bolster the stories we are planning for this is

At this time I would like to thank everyone who made this fund raising event possible and a huge success.

There are so many people and businesses to thank we are not going to do that right now for fear we will leave someone out. We plan to distribute certificates, like last year, to anyone who donated or helped.
Carroll County Fiscal Court will provide $10,000 to a local program battling substance abuse in the county's youth.
Members of the Champions for a Drug Free Carroll County coalition made a presentation during fiscal court's Oct. 27 meeting. Chairman Leigh Ann Roberts said the community coalition was organized in 2006 with the purpose of working within the community to prevent substance abuse among the youth in the county.
Crews of volunteers set out Saturday morning to make repairs to homes of local folks who find themselves "in tough spots" as part of the fourth annual Project Comfort.
Some jobs were as simple as putting plastic over windows to weatherize homes and fend off cold air, while others were more complex, requiring talents such as plumbing, electrical and construction.
Windows, mirrors, jar lids and bottle caps. Marbles, beads, wallpaper and beans. What do these things have in common? They have all been used in Connie Kelley-Jones' art pieces.
"I'm pretty much open to using anything," she said.
Kelley-Jones will be the featured artist for the second time at the Carroll County Library this month. Her work will hang through the end of November, and the Meet the Artist Reception will be held on Monday, Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m.
The boys' basketball team at Carroll County High School will host a Panther Alumni basketball game on Saturday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m. The proceeds from the game will go toward the team's expenses to play in the Sunshine Classic Basketball Tournament at Daytona Beach, Fla.
Any former Panther varsity basketball player that is interested in playing should contact Coaches Travis Snow, John Leep, Duke Boles or Carroll Yager at 732-6195. There is a participation fee of $10 which will cover the cost of each player's game t-shirt.
The Carroll County Panthers are assured a winning season after holding off a determined group of Dayton Greendevils, 27-19, at Panther Field, Friday. The Panther win broke a four-game losing streak and set up a playoff match this week at highly-touted Newport Central Catholic.
Friday's game had barely begun when rain began to fall. The Panthers, who have competed in rain for most of the past seven weeks, were determined to close out the regular season with a win for the team's seniors.

Do you feel safer now that George Bush's and Tony Blair's barbaric attacks on Iraq have brought barbaric attacks to London?
Coordinated attacks on London's transport system have apparently killed 38 and injured 700. It is a terrible thing but hardly surprising. Did Londoners really think that the British people would not be held accountable for electing and reelecting Tony Blair — a war criminal under the Nuremberg standard — who aided and abetted George Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq on false pretenses? Did Londoners really believe that Muslims would have no response to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and the slaughter, torture, and detention of Muslims?
Blair and Bush are on their high horses claiming the morality of "civilized nations" and denouncing the retaliation they have provoked as "barbarism." Their hypocrisy plays poorly in the world. Far more innocent Iraqi civilians, especially women and children, have been slaughtered than British and Americans. Why do Bush and Blair believe they should be praised for slaughtering civilians and only Muslims denounced?
Why do Americans think it is heroic and honorable for our troops to massacre Iraqis with bombs, missiles, gunships, tanks, and heavy machine guns, but cowardly and barbaric when our victims fight back in the only way they can?
The US and Britain started this fight, not Iraq. We should be ashamed that Bush and Blair deceived us, tricked us into a pointless and unjust war, and that innocent people on both sides are paying with their lives and limbs for Bush's and Blair's lies. Our real anger should be directed at Bush and Blair who are responsible for the deaths and destruction.
The American and British people had better wake up, depose their immoral leaders, and put a halt to this war.
There are 1.3 billion Muslims. The Iraqi insurgency has proved that Muslims are not intimidated by a "superpower." Unless the American and British people want a 30-year or a 100-year war with domestic police states for "security" reasons and a draft that will bleed their populations dry, this war needs to be wound up quickly with due apologies and reparations.
No more bluster and heroic talk from the two war criminals. The war is breeding terrorism and cannot be won. Only an even-handed diplomacy that breeds trust and ceases to rule Muslims with puppet governments can isolate and reduce terrorist acts. Muslims are not a few scattered Indian tribes with no place to hide who can be exterminated. America has no chance of imposing its will on the Muslim world. Muslims have their own will. As long as Bush continues to operate with Mao's belief that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, terrorism will prosper and people will die for no reason except their refusal to hold corrupt leaders accountable.

Just two seasons in, the CBS sitcom Mom has already tackled some not-immediately-funny issues, including alcoholism, gambling, homelessness, and cancer. Even star Anna Faris admits she was shocked when her character's teen daughter turned up pregnant in the second episode.

Jenny from the Block has a new address. Jennifer Lopez is one of the executive producers of The Fosters, a new drama about two moms (Teri Polo and Sherri Saum) with a multi-ethnic mix of biological, adopted and foster kids. Fellow exec producers and the show's creators, Peter Paige and Bradley Bredeweg (Queer as Folk), explain why we should take in The Fosters, which premieres Monday at 9/8c on ABC Family.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jessica Yu makes her feature comedy debut with PING PONG PLAYA, a hilarious and warm-hearted tale about embracing one's culture while still breaking down stereotypes. Christopher "C-dub" Wang (Jimmy Tsai) is a suburban guy who sports an urban swagger, waxes political on all things Asian American, and clings to pipe dreams of a career as a pro basketball player. C-dub lives at home, works a dead-end job, and squirms in the shadow of his older brother, Michael, a doctor and ping pong champion. With a family-run store devoted to all things ping pong, the Wangs' entire world revolves around the sport. But when the Wang family livelihood is threatened by a rival ping pong player's attempts to lure the kids away, C-dub begins to take things more seriously. With the National Golden Cock Tournament coming up and an injured Michael unable to defend his title, C-dub must become the player he pretends to be and defend his family's ping pong dynasty.

First of all, how exciting was the news last Friday morning that Grey's beat CSI in the ratings? Never thought it would happen since CSI has been such a juggernaut ever since it moved to Thursdays from Fridays years ago. CSI (along with Survivor) caused CBS to take away the "Must-see TV" title away from NBC as far as Thursdays were concerned. CSI for me has always stood for Can't Seem Interested or Can't Stand It (and before a bunch of you tell me you like both shows, that's fine I'm thrilled it's just not my cup of tea). But I digress. Grey's beat CSI, and I was shocked. Now, on with the show....Hello - Meredith couldn't choose between Derek and Finn, so she chose both! And shut up that McSteamy's back! But I'll rewind and say that I liked that Meredith kept going back and forth between the two of them. First it was Derek, then Finn. It was funny that Meredith spent the hour being obsessed about who to choose, while simultaneously, Cristina obsessed about not being a...

Discover Ministry Briefing! --> The Best Way To Keep "In The Know"!
Press release:
Mars Hill Church has been ranked the nation's third-fastest growing church by Outreach magazine. In the magazine's most recent issue releasing its annual rankings of the largest and fastest growing churches in the U.S., Mars Hill Church was also recognized as the 28th-largest church in the country. In the last 12 months, the magazine reported, Mars Hill's weekend attendance has gone up by 3,530 to over 13,100, which represents a 37% growth over the previous year when the church ranked 43rd in both categories.
The Outreach 100 report is the result of a survey conducted by Outreach and LifeWay Research of more than 8,000 churches and is based on average weekend attendance. According to Outreach, Mars Hill's 3,530 person increase each week was the fourth-largest numerical gain of any church. Mars Hill is also listed as the church with the most locations, 14, which is five more than any other church in the country.
"Jesus is moving, people are being saved, and we are just a kite in a hurricane of God's grace. Mars Hill Church is on its greatest wave ever, and we're excited to see the growth and opportunities that God has in store for years to come," says Mark Driscoll, founding and preaching pastor of Mars Hill. Pastor Mark, popular for his commitment to bible-based teaching, is also featured in a small article in the special report issue.
In addition to growth in physical attendees each weekend, Pastor Mark's sermons enjoy tremendous viewership via the church's website and podcasts. Regularly ranked #1 on the iTunes Religion & Spirituality podcast chart, Pastor Mark's sermons are downloaded over 15 million times each year, which means that for every attendee of a Mars Hill Church there are approximately 20 more sermons that are played or downloaded each week.
Mars Hill Church was founded in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood by Pastor Mark in 1996. Today, 36 weekend services are held at the 14 locations among 4 states. The church recently announced plans to open a 15th church in Tacoma in 2013, as well as move Mars Hill Everett into the Everett Armorybuilding, and Mars Hill Downtown Seattle into the Daniels Recital Hall later this fall. In addition, the church has four Lead Pastor Residents who are currently being trained with plans to open four additional Mars Hill locations in the fall of 2013.
Sounds like some lousy research. This church alone has double the number of locations as Mars Hill in the U.S., not counting the ones overseas: http://www.ctkonline.com/pages/page.asp?page_id=44128
Perhaps the original research qualified their statements by saying that they are only speaking for the churches that opted in to their survey, or something like that.
Whoa Whoa there thobie1. Easy now. "Lousy research" is a little harsh–considering I'm with LifeWay Research and this is one of my projects.
We have a "no guessing" policy when we report numbers. A church has to tell us. We don't get them from magazine articles, denomination reports, websites, or rumor.
You are on the right track in your second paragraph. On page 31 of the magazine, it's noted that some churches don't participate–even if they have in the past.
I have a ton of respect for Dave and CTK. Having interviewed him for a multi-site project we did a while back, I like their reproduction mindset–not just for churches but for leadership. I think they bring a refreshing simplicity and grace to the church today. And – they have a model that can do well in different cultures–not just suburban America.
Hope that helps!
Lizette, yes, "lousy" may be jumping the gun a little bit. I guess my issue comes with the assumptions in the report about the research that it is nationally representative (and thus could make the claim that Mars Hill has more locations than any other church in the country), when it doesn't appear that the research can be claimed as being statistically representative of a larger population.
I think it's very valuable for understanding the self-selected sample of churches, and perhaps drawing inferences from there, but not saying something representative about all large or multi-site churches in the U.S.
TGBTG! Its amazing when a church is being increased weekly. The Bible says God added daily to the church… This is a testimony of what God is still doing…

Beyond "cold feet," dysfunctional future in-laws and reports of upcoming inclement weather, brides and grooms have plenty to worry about.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable home insurance now.
Travelers, an insurance company that offers a Wedding Protector Plan, released an analysis this week of the top reasons policyholders filed claims in 2011. "Vendor- and venue-related" issues made up the largest percentage of claims - 31 percent. Such claims include a facility or vendor going out of business, undelivered flowers and photos, and DJs missing appointments, according to Travelers.
Other wedding day heartbreakers included:
"Couples should seriously consider the financial risks associated with planning a wedding and protect their investment and budget accordingly," Chantal Cyr, vice president for Travelers Wedding Insurance, said in a statement.
Travelers also expanded its "special events" plans to cover bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, birthdays, anniversaries and other noteworthy occasions.
Besides Travelers, a few specialty insurers sell wedding insurance, including WedSafe, Wedsure and Event Insurance Now. Fireman's Fund also offers special event coverage, which includes weddings and receptions.
How much will a couple typically have to pay to insure their wedding? Like most insurance plans, it depends on how much coverage you want.
"A basic insurance policy that covers loss of photos, videos, attire, presents, rings, and deposits usually costs anywhere between $155 and $550, depending on the amount of coverage you want. General liability insurance, which covers up to $1,000,000 for accidents, costs around $185," according to the wedding website TheKnot.com.
Travelers' $160 wedding insurance plan provides $15,000 in protection, including $7,500 for cancellations or postponements, $1,500 for photograph or video problems, $1,500 for clothing issues and $1,000 for lost deposits, according to its Wedding Protector Plan website.
But for those with bigger dreams, the bottom line accelerates rapidly. The firm's most expensive policy (the "level 10") goes for $1,025 and includes $175,000 protection for cancellations or postponements, $10,500 for photographs and videos, $10,500 for attire, and $10,000 to cover lost deposits. An extra $200 will buy you $1 million in liability and another $1 million in property damage coverage.
Peter Kuhnmuench, the executive director for the Insurance Institute of Michigan, says wedding insurance could be a reasonable purchase for a dewy-eyed couple, if only to make them feel calmer during a loving, but hectic and stressful time. (For tips on how to purchase wedding insurance, see "Wedding insurance and you: The perfect match?")
"It could be a resource to protect you against the unexpected, which certainly can happen during a wedding and what's going on around it," he says. "You really hope that day will be as perfect as possible and something you can enjoy. If the insurance gives you peace of mind by removing some financial risks, then I see nothing wrong with it."
Couples spent an average of $25,631in 2011 on their ceremonies and receptions, according to The Wedding Report, a research firm that tracks the industry. So it may make sense to spring for a policy that can protect your investment.
"The average price tag of a wedding decreased last year by 3.4 percent, yet couples actually spent nearly 21 percent more on the reception location," Shane McMurray, The Wedding Report founder and CEO, said in the Travelers statement.
Regardless of whether you insure the big day, once you do get married, be sure to review your car insurance and health insurance policies. Life events such as marriage can significantly impact your rates and coverage. For more information, see "Getting married: How wedding bells change your insurance needs."

text: I see where the Seahawks have fired another shot in the Hutchison war. They have offered a reserve Minneapolis WR, a so called $49 million offer, "guaranteed "if he plays 5 games in any year in Minneapolis (i.e stays in Minneapolis). Burleson did not get $49 million. As a matter of fact he will get nothing, if I am correct There is an old principle of logic called "Reductio ad absurdum" in which you demonstrate the falseness and fatuity of a supposed logical choice, by tracing it to its absurd extreme. Its used in mathematics and the Law as a method of argument. The Seahawks are excised about the theft of Hutchinson by Minneapolis, and the apparent willingnesss of the League to go along with the "poison pill" that prevented them from competing for thier All-Pro player. They are determined to get the Hutchison ruling overturned, and the Burleson maneuver is just that. If the Hutchison, and consequently the Burleson reduction to absurdity, is allowed ot stand, than the whole system of FA collapses. When players complete their contracts they would be free to sign anywhere with no compensation. This would destroy the basis of the just signed CBA. Players would never sign anything but one year agreements or only fully guaranteed longer constracts, if this were allowed to continue. Well done on the part of the Seahawks legal staff. I predict the League will be forced to negate the Hutchinson deal and consequently the Burleson absurd "phoney offer" as well. For the Patriots it means that Burleson is, or will shortly be, still on the market.

A 401(k) plan is a self-directed, qualified retirement plan established by an employer to provide future retirement benefits for employees. Employee contributions are made on a pre-tax basis, and employer contributions are often tax deductible.
401(K) Planning
A 401(k) plan is a self-directed, qualified retirement plan established by an employer to provide future retirement benefits for employees. Employee contributions are made on a pre-tax basis, and employer contributions are often tax deductible.
If you have a Roth 401(k) option, contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but qualified distributions after age 59 1/2 are free of federal income tax. To qualify for a tax-free distribution, the distribution must also satisfy the five-year holding rule.
Fixed annuities provide an option for an income stream that could last a lifetime. The guarantees of fixed annuity contracts are contingent on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
Many employers are now enrolling new hires automatically in 401(k) plans, allowing them to opt out later if they choose not to participate. This is done in the hope that more employees will participate and start saving for retirement at an earlier age.
If you elect to participate in a 401(k) plan, you can allocate a percentage of your salary to your plan every paycheck. The maximum annual contribution is $17,500 in 2013. If you will be 50 or older before the end of the tax year, you can contribute an additional $5,500. Contribution limits are indexed annually for inflation. The funds in your account will accumulate tax deferred until withdrawn, when they are taxed as ordinary income.
Employer contributions are often subject to vesting requirements. Employers can determine their own vesting schedules, making employees partially vested over time and fully vested after a specific number of years. When an employee is fully vested, he or she is entitled to all the contributions made by the employer when separating from service.
In plans that offer loans, you may also be allowed to borrow money from your account (up to 50% of the vested account value or $50,000, whichever is less) with a five-year repayment period. Of course, if you leave your job, the loan may have to be repaid immediately.
The assets in a 401(k) plan are portable. When you leave your job or retire, you can move your assets or take a taxable distribution. However, if you leave a company before you are fully vested, you will be allowed to take only the funds that you contributed yourself plus any vested funds, as well as any earnings that have accumulated on those contributions.
Within certain limits, the funds in your 401(k) plan can be rolled over directly to your new employer's retirement plan without penalty. Alternatively, you can roll your funds directly to an individual retirement account (IRA).
Generally, you must begin taking required minimum distributions from 401(k) plans no later than April 1 of the year after you reach age 70 1/2. Distributions from regular 401(k) plans are taxed as ordinary income and may be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty if withdrawn before age 59 1/2, except in special circumstances such as disability or death.
A 401(k) plan can be a great way to save for retirement, especially if your employer offers matching contributions. If you are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan, you should take advantage of the opportunity, even if you have to start by contributing a small percentage of your salary. This type of plan can form the basis for a sound retirement funding strategy.

A 'save' is the principal skill of a goalkeeper, whose main job is to keep the ball out of his goal. A save refers to the stopping of the ball from going into the goal by the keeper, usually by using his hands, but can be with any part of his body.
Scissors kick
See 'Bicycle Kick'
There are two meanings: firstly, the score is how many goals each team has at any point during or after a match. Football matches start with the score at 0-0; secondly, to score a goal is the main job of the strikers and you win a football match by scoring more goals than the other team.
The football calendar works in 'seasons', not years – so the Barclays Premier League season runs from August to May.
These are what the spectators sit in when they are watching a match in the stadium. Barclays Premier League grounds are all-seater, so every fan is expected to sit down during the match.
Second half
Football matches are split into two 45-minute halves. After a 15-minute interval spent mostly in their dressing-rooms, the teams come back out on to the pitch for the second half.
Sending off
See 'Red card'
Set piece
A set piece refers to the returning of the ball to open play following a stoppage. Set pieces generally refer to free-kicks which are in an attacking position, corners and penalty kicks, and sometimes even throw-ins. Set pieces are a crucial part of football, and an ability to attack or defend them is considered vital at both ends.
Shin guards
Shin guards or shin pads are protective padding that players wear inside their socks to try and avoid serious leg injuries. Shin pads should cover the leg from the ankle to the bottom of the knee.
The art of shooting is vital for all attacking players as this is how they score goals. A shot is when an attacking player hits the ball towards the opponents' goal with the intention of scoring. Often times if you are present at a match and a player is within 25 yards of the goal, people in the crowd will shout 'Shoot!'
See 'Penalty shootout'
This is a term used to describe a goalscoring chance so easy (but ultimately missed) that it should be taken while sitting down. It might be a striker who has gone past the goalkeeper but shot wide in front of an empty net, or someone heading over the bar from two yards out when it looked as though they had to score. Usually uttered in the context of 'He's missed a sitter!'
Sliding tackle
A tackle is when a player tries to take the ball away from his opponent, so a sliding tackle is when this happens and the player trying to win the ball slides along the ground, mostly using one leg as a pivot and the other to try and take the ball away. A sliding tackle performed correctly is not a foul, but the margins for error are small and the punishments can be big for mistimed and/or dangerous sliding tackles, as they are easy to misjudge.
Another word for the sport of 'football', or 'association football'. It is an abbreviation of the word 'association', but is generally not used in England. Mostly used in America, where 'football' is the name for 'gridiron'.
The 11 players who make up a football team are part of a bigger group of players, which is generally known as the 'squad'. Football squads can make up any number of players, but usually between 20-30.
See 'Ground'
Stewards are officials who sit around the ground watching the fans to ensure they are behaving themselves and also to ensure the safety of all the spectators present. They usually wear brightly coloured jackets so they are easily recognisable to fans and must have a qualification to be able to be steward at a match.
Stoppage time
See 'injury time'
The 'stretcher' is used for taking an injured player, who can no longer walk, off the pitch. He is placed on to a stretcher by physios and doctors and is carried off to receive further treatment either by the side of the pitch or in the dressing-room.
Arguably the most important position in the football team, because it is the strikers who are expected to score the goals that win matches. A striker is different to a forward because strikers usually play in a central position right at the front of a team, whereas forwards can play anywhere along the forward line.
See 'Kit'
Studs are attachments on the bottom of a football boot designed to give the wearer better grip on a slippery surface. There are different types of studs depending on the condition of the surface.
The players who do not make it into the starting XI but are instead on the bench, available to be called upon at any stage of the match, are called substitutes. In the Barclays Premier League, teams are allowed to put seven players on the substitutes bench, but can only call upon three of those 'subs' during the match.
See 'Fans'
If a player receives a red card in a match, he will be banned, or suspended, for the next match his club plays. Suspensions can vary, from one match for two yellow cards to three matches for violent conduct. A player who picks up several bookings in a season can also be suspended.
This is a player who plays behind the other defenders and is said to 'sweep up' if one of the opposing players manages to breach all of his team-mates. The sweeper is almost like an insurance policy for a team, but he can be versatile too and start attacks from the back as well. In modern football, sweepers are quite rare.
The rankings list of the Barclays Premier League is known as the Barclays Premier League table – this puts clubs in their correct order depending on how many points they have won and, if points are level, their goal difference. Whoever finishes top of the table at the end of the season wins the Barclays Premier League trophy. Also known as 'standings' or 'classification'.
This is a technical skill crucial for defenders and midfielders to learn as a tackle enables a player to legally win possession of the ball from someone on the opposing team. Tackling is always done by a player's feet, and they must win the ball before making contact with the player who has possession of the ball otherwise they are likely to commit a foul. See also: 'Sliding tackle'.
The formation in which a team sets itself up and style in which it plays is known as 'tactics', and this is an important facet of the match as there are many different tactics which managers can employ in order to try and defeat their opponents. Often, a manager will change his team's tactics during a match to try and steal an advantage over the opposition.
Target man
This is the term given to a striker who is usually tall and is adept at winning the ball aerially, making him a target for his team to play the ball forward to. He is good at retaining possession and bringing his team-mates into play, making him the focal part of his team's attack.
The 11 players who represent a football club on the pitch are known as a 'team'. This is different to a 'club', which encompasses all the playing and non-playing staff. A team can also be called a 'side'.
Ten men
When a team has a player sent off, they are a man down, and hence are described as playing 'with 10 men'. If a player is having a particularly bad day but is still on the pitch, his team might be described as playing with 10 men due to his poor performance.
Before grounds were turned into all-seater arenas, there were standing areas where some fans would watch matches, known as 'terraces'. There are no terraces in Barclays Premier League stadia, but sometimes 'stands' will be called 'terraces', purely as a colloquial expression.
When the ball goes out of play on one of the two touchlines that run down the side of the pitch, whichever team did not touch the ball last before it went out will take a throw-in to restart play. A throw must be taken with the player's two hands, from behind and over his own head and with both feet on the ground, otherwise the referee will award the throw-in to the opposing team.
A fan buys a ticket to a match to enable him to watch that match from the stadium. 'Season tickets' are those tickets which are bought for an entire season – you can get home season tickets and away season tickets too at some clubs.
Time added on
See 'injury time'
These are the longer sides of a football pitch, which must be the same length and run from the end of one 'goalline' to the other. Next to the touchline, off the pitch and either side of the halfway line is where managers and the substitutes usually sit in a ground.
See 'coach'. A trainer is someone who trains, or coaches, the players.
When a player moves from one club to the other, it is called a transfer.
Transfer fee
This is the cost involved in a player moving from one club to another, ie the amount of money the buying club is paying the selling club for his services.
This is the name for the barriers which are in place at football grounds, which mean you have to give a ticket to the attendant before you are allowed into the stadium. Turnstiles are usually made of metal and once you are allowed in you must push them round to get through. The number of spectators in a stadium for a match is sometimes called "the number of people who passed through the turnstiles".
Two-footed tackle
This is a dangerous tackle and one which means the player making the tackle has both feet off the ground and has jumped in to try and win the ball off an opposing player. There is potential to injure an opponent with this sort of challenge, and often a player will be shown a straight red card for this tackle.

Red Wings Firesale
OK, let me get this straight: The Minnesota Twins are apparently so rich in talent throughout their farm system that they can keep giving players away to divisional rivals. In April, outfielder Jon Knott was sold to the last-place Lehigh Valley IronPigs for a dozen baseballs (or something like that). Today, infielder Chris Basak was sold to the first-place Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees for two tickets to the final game at Yankee Stadium (or something like that).
Actually, I'm not sure the monetary value of Basak. No one is saying. But I'm told it could be as little as $1. Hey, the Twins could open one of those dollar stores.
I'm confused by this move. My understanding is that Basak wanted to go where he could play more regularly, and that's fine. But get a Single-A or Double-A player in return. Get something, someone.
A week ago, the Wings were forced to use pitchers as hitters. Now, they're deep enough to just remove an infielder from their roster?
I never felt Basak should be starting, but I think he was a decent enough utility infielder. His last game with the Wings was one to remember: two errors and four hits in a 10-9 loss to Louisville on Tuesday.
As I've said many times before, I like the Twins execs personally, but I have to tell it like it is: They are not having a good season with their Triple-A affiliate. You'll never get a Red Wings exec to say it, but it's the cold, hard truth.
What do you think? Am I overreacting? Being provincial? Or is there smoke where there's fire?
Be sure to check out J.C. DeLass and Chuck Hinkel as they broadcast Friday night's game from Frontier Field between the Batavia Muckdogs (or as I call them, the Chuckdogs) and the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. It's on Time Warner Channel 26 at 7 p.m.
Admission is $6, $5 and $5, and there will be postgame fireworks.
I can't think of a worse time to have this game at Frontier, with the local media covering the Wegmans LPGA Tournament and the Rhinos playing one mile away the same night, but I hope fans come out and support the Chuckdogs. Baseball is baseball, and there are few places I'd rather be than a ballpark on a summer evening.

The new guide to facial hair
Beards are fine
The good news is that facial hair is now fully acceptable in every situation: in the office, going on a first date, even at weddings. Thank you George Clooney.\r\n
The exception
\r\nThe above rule is void if you work in the city.
On second thoughts...
Rule one is also void if youre rocking a chinstrap. Youd be better off staying indoors altogether.\r\n\r\n
But I want the hipster look, you say. Stop it. Just stop it.\r\n
Keep it short
If you want the full Ben Affleck, but arent a fashion designer or French rugby player, ensure your hair is short. Unless youre Joaquin Phoenix.
Dye hard
Dont colour grey hairs. Grey looks dignified. Beard dye on your skin, not so much.\r\n

Gear Question
Can the tent be set up without the vestibules...
Member since
Can the tent be set up without the vestibules to save weight so it is more like the guiding light?
Member since
The vestibules are attached (sewn) to the body of the tent, as you can see in this video as the guy seals the seam between
tent body and vestibule: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q-jk9R_vMI
Hope this helps.
Member since
Hola, soy Dakka.
Good call Tim. Adam, The vestibule has an area of 20 sq ft, if you have 3-4 people in your group, the vestibule will no doubt get used. Also, with that # of people in your group, have someone carry the tent and another poles and stakes. This will help you save weight.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on March 26, 2013
Mike Bloomberg is spending $12 million on attack ads designed to force U.S. senators to vote for national gun control laws that will supposedly save lives. However, the New York mayor's commercials running in 13 states over the next two weeks could cause injury or death by showcasing irresponsible handling of a firearm. Mr. Bloomberg's organization, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, produced two ads featuring a man holding a shotgun, wearing plaid flannel with a camouflage cap and sitting on the tailgate of a pickup truck. While a child swings on a tire in the background, the man says, "I support comprehensive background checks so criminals and the dangerously mentally ill can't buy guns." The ad does not specify if the man is an actor, but the text accompanying it says he is a "gun owner." Either way, the man violates all three gun safety rules taught by the National Rifle Association (NRA). Read the article: The Washington Times

December 22, 2014
State insurance investigators say 47 year old Lorrie Laurel overstated the value of the home and they couldn't find any trace of 15 items supposedly destroyed by the flames. The fire gutted the lake home near Crystal Lake in December 28th.
Laurel and her husband own the home, which was occupied at the time by her brother.
The fire occurred one day before Laurels policy with Cotton States Insurance was to be cancelled.
She filed a claim for more than $435,000 in damages.
State investigators say claims for the 15 items were more than $64,000. But, they say they couldn't find any evidence of those items in the destroyed home. But they says they did find some very similar items, including a totem pole, a carved bench, and some diving gear in Laurel's Chipley home when they interviewed her.
Laurel is free after posting a $10,000 bond on the insurance fraud charge.

|Hi there,
I have been doing on indoor shows but would like to start doing some outdoor craft fairs as well. I do have a canopy to protect from rain and sun, but, I'm worried about humidity.Has anyone run into problems with their soaps? Is there any other precautions I should be looking at or is outdoor sales not a great idea?
Thanks so much for any info.
I do both MP and CP soap and they are double packaged for freshness. (except for the sniffers)
Thanks again
Follow-Up Postings:
|If your soap is double packaged, then I would think you wouldn't have a problem at an outside fair.
We have them all of the time at the out door crafts shows; they come in block form and you can buy by the slice, cigar band soap, and packaged the way you described.
In the southern states, in extreme heat, some have problems with the humidity and sometimes the soap may collect glycerin drops; but I do not live there so I have no experience, it's just what I have read.
The drops will re-absorb out of the humidity though.
- Posted by thesarasmile (My Page) on Thu, Jun 3, 10 at 15:28
|Yes, you definitely want to keep your soaps dry. If the double-packaging that you're talking about is with plastic then your soaps should be fine. I don't know if heat would be a factor if you have hot days though? Could the soap melt somewhat in extreme heat?

Goodwill Ambassadors
Ambassadors share human development concern and commitment.
They are at the top of their field, whether it's broadcasting, the literary world or the football stadium, with talents and achievements that have made them household names in their own, and in some cases, in many other countries.
Despite their diverse claims to fame, however, they all share a deep concern for the world's poor and a commitment to making the planet a better place for all, ridding it of poverty, combating HIV/AIDS, ensuring environmental sustainability, protecting human rights, and empowering women.
UNDP, along with other UN agencies, has long enlisted the voluntary services and support of prominent individuals as Goodwill Ambassadors or Youth Emissaries to highlight these causes.
Their fame helps amplify the urgent and universal message of human development and international cooperation, helping to accelerate achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
They articulate the UNDP development philosophy and programmes of self-reliant opportunities and motivate people to act in the interest of improving their own lives and those of their fellow citizens.
They give their time freely to help UNDP in its challenging mission, and travel often to developing countries for first-hand observation so that they can bring the human development message to the industrialized world.

Payday loan lenders put their name on the line every time that they give a loan out to a new customer. They are trusting that the customer will pay them back on time. In some cases this is not what happens and the lender will have to tack on interest to that customers money owed.
Every week that you fail to pay back your loan on time it will take longer to pay back. Interest is a way to get people to pay back the money owed to these lenders but it could end badly if you keep failing to pay off the debt. It is never a good idea to let the loan go for months on end. You would be surprised at how much debt will accrue in only a few months.
To ensure that you pay back the loans on time only take out one loan at a time. You never want to take out more then one loan. You want to be able to pay off one loan and then take out another. If you take out more then one loan at once you will more debt to deal with. The more debt that you get in the longer it will take to get out of it. It could take years to get back on your feet because of a few mistakes that you made.
It is a good idea to also save up a little before you take out a loan. This way you an ensure that you have the money to pay back the first payment on the loan. Take at least a hundred dollars out of your pay for a month and you will have at least the first payment ready. The payday loan lenders take pride in knowing that they will get their money back one day. It could take years for some customers but in the end they will get their money.
If you want to ensure that you pay as little interest as possible make sure that you pay the loan back on time. This will enable you to get on with your life. You will want to only take out a loan if you really need it. These lenders only give out a certain amount of money before people will have to wait to get a loan. This will make other people not be able to get the money that they need to get by.
Since these lenders give out thousands of dollars a year it is only fare that they charge interest. This interest is used to not only fund their operation but give them a little money as well. A lender could potentially be any business online and in some cases businesses team together when creating a loan site. This is why these lenders will put their money on the line and trust all of their customers. If you fail to pay back one of these lenders word could spread that you are not a good customer.
This is the main reason that you need to ensure that you will always have the money to pay back these lenders. You will be able to get the money that you need when you need to pay bills on time. Just make sure that you only take out a single loan at once so that you can stay out of debt. See also in this site.

Interim Phase II Data Of Merck's Investigational MK-5172 In Combination Therapy In Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 Infection To Be Presented At The American Association For The Study Of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Annual Meeting
Other data to be presented on MK-5172 at AASLD include results from a preclinical study evaluating the antiviral activities of MK-5172 in combination with MK-8742, an oral HCV NS5A inhibitor in Phase I development.
Indications and Usage for VICTRELIS (boceprevir)
VICTRELIS is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 (G1) infection, in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin (PR), in adult patients (18 years and older) with compensated liver disease, including cirrhosis, who are previously untreated or who have failed previous interferon and ribavirin therapy.
The following points should be considered when initiating VICTRELIS for treatment of chronic HCV infection:
- VICTRELIS must not be used as monotherapy and should only be used in combination with PR.
- VICTRELIS efficacy has not been studied in patients who have previously failed therapy with a treatment regimen that includes VICTRELIS or other HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors.
- VICTRELIS in combination with PR has not been studied in patients documented to be historical null responders [less than a 2 log 10 HCV-RNA decline by treatment week (TW) 12] during prior therapy with PR. The clinical studies included patients who were poorly interferon responsive. Patients with less than 0.5 log 10 HCV-RNA decline in viral load at TW 4 with PR alone are predicted to have a null response (less than a 2 log 10 viral load decline by TW 12) to PR therapy.
- Poorly interferon responsive patients who were treated with VICTRELIS in combination with PR have a lower likelihood of achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR), and higher rate of detection of resistance-associated substitutions upon treatment failure, compared to patients with a greater response to PR.

What are the most effective, powerful ways to help manage your defiant child at home? Surprisingly it's not the use of tough consequences. When you respond harshly to a defiant child, you are only fueling the defiant behavior. The more self-discipline you have to stay in control of your negative reactions, the more you will model healthy discipline for your child.
Think of it this way, the more you keep your cool, the less you will look like a fool with your defiant child. I am a "yeller in recovery." Looking back, I remember times in the past when my own emotional reactivity with my kids made me clearly look quite inept as a parent. In efforts to learn from my own mistakes, I am grateful to have gained at least a bit of wisdom over time. I'm hoping that my sharing with you what I learned the hard way, will make effective discipline with your child easier for you.
So, if you want to inspire positive, lasting changes in kids, you must manage your own strong reactions, and respond in a calm, systematic way. Here are five proven tips for handling defiant children.They are detailed in my book, 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child.

Location & area
Slightly more than 100 Kilometres from Rome and 120 Km from Naples, Terracina lies on about fifteen Km of coastline, along the wide gulf marked off by the Circeo and Gaeta promontories. By taking a short walk in the old town you will discover characteristic shops and establishments, including small wineries, with history everywhere around you. Piazza del Municipio also offers a view of the two symbols of Terracina, the incredible sea and the Temple of Jupiter Anxur. On especially clear days you can see the jewels of Campania, the islands of Ischia and Capri. Pompeii and the Vesuvio volcano are pretty close too (150km).Terracina is full of fine restaurants and is really good for shopping. Very distinctive are the colourful fishermen's port-canal and two basins for pleasure-craft, and the arm of the port where the ships depart for Ponza (in the summer) and for Ventotene. Those who enjoy the countryside as well as the sea need only venture a few miles into the interior to reach many interesting places. Terracina is definitely a must for everyone who loves Italy and it's beauties.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

While true, the effectiveness of this fact as a case for alumni support has long been debated. Katie Masterson from The Chronicle of Higher Education just published an article that addresses this very point. Click here to read it. Then you can be the judge.

Auction to raise funds for victims of Japan earthquake and tsunami
Posted on | March 13, 2011 | 15 Comments
Watching the images from Japan it is easy to feel helpless. I've stopped watching TV as it just leaves me so terribly sad. However, one thing that I've learned first hand this past month with our Librarithon and work with families in Christchurch is that the blogging community I'm part of can make a difference, not just practically, but also in terms showing human solidarity, support and kindness.
Having been encouraged by Tokyo-based Jo over at A Bit of This and a Bit of That, my sister, Kate, a fantastically talented jewellery maker, and I have teamed up to raise money for victims of the Japan earthquake and tsunami, through a series of auctions and raffles.
For our first auction, Kate is offering this beautiful, handmade cherry blossom brooch, created out of beaded and embroidered felt:
Kate used silk hankie fibre,organza, wool roving, silk velvet, wool nepps, cotton scrim and silk tops to create the brooch. It's embellished with tiny sequins, glass beads (including some vintage) and detached fly, colonial knot, bullion knot, detached chain and seed hand embroidery stitches. For more images, including how the brooch was made, click here. Had the brooch made it to Kate's Esty shop it would have been priced at $45.
How this auction works:
Thankyou for participating and happy bidding!
This auction is being held in cooperation with Tokyo based A Bit of This and a Bit of That. We are not affiliated with Global Giving, that's just our chosen method of getting funds safely to the affected area.
If jewellery isn't your thing (although you could bid on this lovely brooch and give it as a gift to someone), later in the week there will be a raffle for a signed copy of Brian Wildsmith's Animal Gallery.
