My mind immediately kicked in to my college days. I would have recommended a daily Bible reading, preferably in the morning, pray, getting in a small group, and finding a church that he liked. As I was thinking about saying something like this, I felt bored. Instead, I blurted out, "I think you need to date Jesus."
What You'll Find When You Stop Running
Our fears lead us to lonely and crazy places. We often run from the wrong things. Sometimes we end up fighting ridiculous battles against imagined enemies. Often what we fight or evade are the very things destined to bless us.
What We Can Learn From Celebrities' Failures
On the way to work this morning, I drove by them—twenty turkey vultures, sitting by the side of the road. Five of them were huddled over a dead fawn in the ditch, digging at it furiously, picking the carcass clean. The rest were gathered nearby, impatiently waiting their turn. It's a gruesome scene, but all […]
What To Say When Everything Is Not "Fine"
She came up to me while I was in line at the bakery. I hadn't seen her for years. "Hi Al!" she said. "Is life treating you great?" The way she asked it, there was only one acceptable answer. I wish you could have seen the contortions my mind was going through in the several seconds between her question and my answer. I knew there were a couple of options for my response.
What Are You Telling Yourself That Isn't True?
Let's face it – we all make stuff up! While we have legitimate questions — Why didn't they call back? Why wasn't I invited? I wonder why I wasn't chosen for this or that? — we often answer them with a negative and active imagination.
Is Your Life Boring All Your Friends?
Last week, looking out the back window of our house, I saw our dog Hobbs standing over the carcass of a possum. He was sniffing it cautiously and had a "what do I do now?" look about him. Finally, he walked away, disappointed with the end of his chase. As he was leaving, I saw […]
Why Jesus Invites the Wrong People to the Party
I have a confession to make that may make some of you dismiss me as having neither taste nor class. Judge me if you will:
I said it.
Refusing To Die Before Your Time
Recently my sons and I went to a soccer match in Upton Park, England (they call it football there). The game was between West Ham United and Arsenal. Arriving early, we enjoyed food from street vendors that would make a cardiologist weep.
Soon we made our way to our seats and as the stadium filled, a man sat next to me. He was in his 60s, dressed warmly in a long, dark coat with a scarf around his neck. He looked toward the field with a blank stare.
What Jesus Would Say To Ebenezer Scrooge
On a chilly December morning several years ago, our family packed into the car and headed to church. When I pulled off the interstate, I saw a man sitting on the curb near the end of the exit ramp, holding a cardboard sign.
I was relieved that there was a car in front of me at the stoplight. Frankly, I was not in a good mood and was irritated that he was there. I heard an inner voice whispering something like "Who knows where he'll spend that money." So I stared forward, anxious for the light to change and annoyed to find out that this particular light was the first prizewinner in the "slowest light in the country" contest!
The driver's window of the car in front of us opened.
How A Homeless Man Taught Me About Heaven
Not long ago, a good friend of mine called me. A friend of his had gotten into trouble, and was now in a halfway house in Nashville. He asked if I would visit him, and maybe take him a toothbrush and some underwear. I agreed and made my way there one evening.
When I got there, I sat with my friend's friend on the back deck of the halfway house and talked about how he ended up there. As we talked, another man came out on the deck, lighting up his cigarette as he sat down. There was a weathered look about him. He had dark, leathery skin, and looked like he had endured the sun, the rain, and the wind for long, long time. I couldn't tell how old he was, but I was sure that he was younger than he looked.
Why Your Anxiety is Probably Unwarranted
I used to have a phobia. Any time a warning light began to blink on the dashboard of my car, a low black cloud descended upon me and I began to sink into anxiety and depression. My mind filled with worst-case scenarios, emptying my bank account.
There was a time in my life (let's just call it my Denial Decade) when I would put a piece of black tape over the blinking light so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
The reason for all this anxiety was this:
I knew absolutely nothing about anything that resides under the hood of a car. (For years I thought a McPherson Strut was some kind of Irish dance.) Thus, whenever I took my car in for repairs, I had this look on my face [...]

PSI Repair Services Keeps Green Energy Efficient With 10,000th Wind Turbine Component Repair Milestone
LIVONIA, Mich., Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PSI Repair Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries and leading independent service provider (ISP) to the wind energy industry, recently reached a service milestone with the shipment of its 10,000th wind turbine component repair. Since 2009, PSI has offered economical repairs, including upgraded/longer-life products, for out-of-warranty electronic, hydraulic and precision mechanical components that drive wind turbines' pitch and yaw systems and down tower electronics. A sample of repaired components include printed circuit boards, PLCs, control cards, VRCC components, IGBTs, thyristors, H-Bridges (a.k.a., hub converters), pitch motors, hydraulic pumps, servo motors and transducers.
PSI Repair Services uses the latest diagnostic tools to detect failures down to the microchip level. Solutions can range from minor repairs to full replacement printed circuit boards, with enhanced designs to improve performance and reliability. PSI also provides comprehensive remanufacturing services for unsalvageable, obsolete components. Unlike other ISPs, PSI can take a cooling plate from a blown IGBT and completely rebuilt it. Service options like these allow operations and maintenance (O&M) professionals to significantly increase mean time between failures (MTBF) and prevent costly downtime and/or repeat repairs.
"The largest wind farms have called on PSI Repair Services for years because they know we have the experience and expertise that they can count on," said Mike Fitzpatrick, General Manager of PSI Repair Services. "No other ISP can match PSI's range of cost-saving services. When you think ISP, think PSI."For more information about PSI's wind energy services, visit www.psi-repair.com/wind-turbine-repair.

( www.psi-repair.com) PSI Repair Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, is the world's largest independent component repair company for electronics, hydraulics, robotics and precision mechanical assemblies.

A cost-effective solution for the demanding needs of today's acoustic guitarist.
The Identity Series guitars are handcrafted with a focus on functionality, ergonomics, and quality construction. The Identity Jumbo features a vertical lift neck that allows on-the-fly action adjustments with the turn of an Allen key! It also utilizes the "icZ" Acoustic System, an innovative bridge design that increases the instrument's sonic range and dynamic response. By removing the strings from the bridge and anchoring them to the top of the guitar, lateral compression is created and the soundboard becomes fully energized. This results in a new level of sonic purity. Because there is very little stress on the center of the soundboard (the most flexible part), standard X-bracing can be replaced by a much more delicate and lighter bracing pattern. Notes ring true past the fifth fret, and the classic "choked" bass notes are freed once and for all.

Score from 35 reviews Good
it had beds
handicap access;facilities
Tv channels were good Wi fi was good signal
handicap can't get around The rooms were dirty The building is ran down The only place that still uses keys Carpets stained Not organized took a good 15 min to check in and at least 20 min to check out Extension cords plugged everywhere
The room was dirty and it smelled horrible. We had to get air freshner just so we could sleep in it.
The staff were exceptionally friendly. The price couldn't be beat.
The whole motel needs a complete make over. The bed was the worse I've ever slept in. The room was a non smoking room with many cigarette burns in carpet, on the furniture, etc. and it smelled bad (tolerable for one night). We had to sign a waiver to pay $300.00 for deep cleaning if we smoked in the room. I'm guessing that, in the past, none of that money went for cleaning; deep or otherwise.
The room was comfortable.
Nothing. Everything was very pleasant.
cable selection
The pool was great and well maintained. The desk clerk, Sara, was excellent.
No negative comments
They need to up date phone book. Really 2011 phone book.
Customer service
Better TVs
It was quiet
Wifi didn't work. TV poor
Location was close to our activity. The staff was especially helpful. The room was good for the price.
The pool area and passageway to the pool was a bit cluttered. The access from the street was not the best.
The staff
The carpet in the room was gross, everything is very outdated.
Convenient location, good price, stuffs are friendly.
Could not use wi-fi in the room, dirty carpet and thin wall.
wifi worked great
it stunk outside bad, the carpet was filthy in my room, noisy all night long
good location
Room was dirty screen on window broke carpet was dirty walls were dirty.
We were placed in the basement, down a dark dingy hall into a dark dingy room. We were charged $100 for this room which was 50% more than similar hotels used during a one week trip while the other hotels were 100% better. Our first and last Shilo experience!
Absolutely nothing......
Location to restaurant.
we were not told there would not be maid service the day of thanksgiving big disappointment and the rate was the same.
I stay at your motel mainly because it's the only one in Nampa with an outdoor pool. Secondly, price is good.
Carpeting is worn and a little stained but I knew that before I made the reservations.
Not very clean. We asked for extra towels 3 times from office staff and cleaning staff and finally had to go to the front desk to get them ourselves. Also we had to wait 15 minutes at the front desk to be checked in, and we finally called the hotel and they came to the front desk to check us in. Run down hotel, feels old and smells old. Beds were sagging in the middle, and the soap and shampoo was awful! Scary pool and hot tub.
Smelled bad
Staff we kind and knowledgeable. Breath of fresh air with a long trip. Denny's next door was convenient and had great service! Coffee and water too in hotel was nice.

Get ready for alliances, backstabbing and evictions because Big Brother is back!
While we have enjoyed watching the drama unfold for 14 seasons, we can't help but hope that love will brew again this season. From Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd to Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly, Big Brother has been home to reality romances.
Here are 10 couples, who joined reality shows to win big and get real, but left with unexpected prizes.
Jordan Lloyd & Jeff Schroeder
Courtesy of Jordan Lloyd/Twitpic.comSparks flew when Jeff and Jordan met on season 11 of Big Brother in 2009. But their reality relationship didn't end there. They returned to the small screen for season 13 of Big Brother and for The Amazing Race. Jordan and Jeff dated long distance for two- and-a-half years before finally moving in together in L.A.
Brendon Villegas & Rachel Reilly
Paul Archuleta/FilmMagicWhen Brendon and Rachel lost season 12 of Big Brother, the couple continued their showmance on season 13, where Rachel took home the top prize. The two also appeared on season 20 of The Amazing Race, snagging 3rd place. The cute couple got engaged on Valentine's Day and tied the knot on September 8, 2012 and it later aired on David Tutera's My Fair Wedding.
Sammi Giancola & Ronnie Ortiz-Magro
Kevin Mazur/WireImageWho could forget the drunken fights at Karma and room-trashing arguments at the Jersey Shore house from Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro? Although many didn't think the guido duo would last (we didn't!), the couple proved haters wrong. When Ryan Seacrest asked if Sammi would join her fellow engaged guidettes, Snooki and JWoww, the beautiful brunette replied, "Not any time soon, but we are living together in New York, right now…he's actually sleeping, but no marriage any time soon, we're not thinking about that right now."
Trista Rehn & Ryan Sutter
Trista Sutter, Ryan Sutter, Reality TV CouplesWe have seen romance and heartache form on countless seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Although final roses have lasted longer than most of the relationships, Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter actually found true love -- and they are still going strong! The first successful couple of the reality dating show currently lives in Colorado with their two children, Max and Blakesley. "Did I think when it all started that I would be married for almost ten years and have two children? No!" said Trista in an interview with People.
Jason Mesnick & Molly Malaney
Courtesy Molly Mesnick/Twitpic.comIt was the breakup heard around the world -- mainly because Jason Mesnick did it on national television. The single dad shocked everyone when he confessed that he made a mistake by choosing Melissa Rycroft and wanted Molly Malaney back only six weeks after The Bachelor finale. Molly accepted, leaving Melissa heartbroken. The two are now happily married and welcomed their first child, Riley, in March.
Ashley Herbert & J.P. Rosenbaum
Courtesy Ashley Herbert/Twitpic.com
When Brad Womack rejected Ashley Herbert on The Bachelor, it was a blessing in disguise for the contestant. She went on to become the new bachelorette, and found true love with J.P. Rosenbaum. The couple said 'I do' on December 1, 2012 in a televised ceremony. They then jetted off to Bora Bora for their honeymoon.
Spencer Pratt & Heidi Montag
Danny Martindale/WireImageSpencer Pratt was the villain of The Hills when he tore Heidi Montag away from her BFF Lauren Conrad. The Colorado cutie then entered a world of plastic surgery, magic crystals, and just plain weirdness. Heidi filed for divorce in 2010, but later admitted that it was just a publicity stunt, no big deal. What are they up to now? Well the duo were so convinced that the Mayan Apocalypse was coming that they spent $10 million dollars before December 21, 2012 hit. Just a normal day in the Speidi household!
"Boston Rob" Mariano & Amber Brkich
Alexandra Wyman/WireImageWe bet when Amber Brkich signed up for Survivor: All-Stars she didn't expect to take home the prize and an engagement ring! Rob Mariano put a ring on it during the season finale of the show. In May 2005, the couple tied the knot in a televised event. Since then, the couple welcomed three daughters, Lucia, Carina and Isabetta. Their love for reality television didn't stop there. The couple appeared on The Amazing Race together, while Rob appeared on (and won) Survivor: Redemption Island and Around the World in 80 Ways.
Sean Duffy & Rachel Campos
Courtesy of Sean Duffy/FacebookWhat happens when people stop being polite and start getting real? They get married! That's what happened when Sean Duffy and Rachel Campos met on Road Rules: All Stars in 1998. They are now married with not one, not two, but six children! Sean and Rachel reside in Wisconsin where Rachel is a television personality and author, while Sean is a U.S. Representative of the northwestern 7th Congressional District. Do we have a future Real World president on our hands?
Suzy Preston & Matt Hoover
Jason Merritt/FilmMagic
Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston were the first to tie the knot after meeting on season 2 of The Biggest Loser in 2005. Matt proposed to Suzy on The Today Show in March 2006 and the couple got married on September 2006. Since their wedding, they welcomed sons Rex and Jax.

Family Celebration
We got our family members together to celebrate my father's 60th birthday. We rented the cabin and the farm house together in order to accommodate everyone comfortably. The weekend was fantastic. Not only was the setting extremely peaceful and beautiful, but the accommodations were some of the best I have experienced for renting a home. They provided EVERYTHING from paper towels to hand soaps. Both homes were clean and comfortable. We will definitely return.
Thanksgiving on the River
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and the house made it all possible. We had 6 adults and 1 toddler and it was fantastic! The layout of the house made it possible for everyone to have their space, but we were also able to gather in the family room for movies, coffee or to enjoy the view of the river and mountains. We cooked our Thanksgiving dinner at the house and we had everything we needed to prepare for the feast!! One of our favorites parts of the property was walking down to the river and then returning up the HILL! What a great workout at the end of the day. We went into Winchester one day to shop. It was only 30 minutes away and a very charming town. Kathleen was so pleasant to work with. She called right before we left and went over any questions we might have. She left us a welcome bag full of goodies for the week. What a treat! We are already talking about going back in the near future.
Idyllic Location
Great home in a completely isolated location so beautifully quiet and the perfect retreat. Immaculate inside, kayaks provided and the river was perfect for cooling off. Highly recommended.

Edith Matilda Thomas
Biography of Edith Matilda Thomas
Edith Matilda Thomas was an American poet who "was one of the first poets to capture successfully the excitement of the modern city."
Born in Chatham Center, Ohio, Edith Thomas was educated at the normal school of Geneva, Ohio, and attended Oberlin College (though she had to drop out). She taught school for two years, and then became a typesetter.
She began writing early for the local newspapers, then was encouraged by author Helen Hunt Jackson to send verse to more important periodicals. She "gained national attention with her poetry.... Scribner's, The Atlantic Monthly, The Century and other prominent magazines published her poems." Jackson's "enthusiasitic endorsement produced almost immediate literary celebrity."
In 1884, Canadian poet Charles G.D. Roberts wrote of her that "as far as I am aware her poems are not yet gathered in book form, and are therefore only to be obtained, few in number, by gleaning from the magazines and periodicals. Yet so red-blooded are these verses, of thought and of imagination all compact, so richly individual and so liberal in promise, that the name of their author is already become conspicuous.... We are justified in expecting much from her genius."
Her first volume appeared in 1885 entitled 'A New Year's Masque and Other Poems'.
In 1887 she moved to New York City, where she worked for Harper's and Century Dictionary. She lived in New York for the rest of her life. She published over 300 poems between 1890 and 1909, although "the demands of the leading literary magazines constantly exceeded her supply."
On her death she was called "one of the most distinguished American poets" by the New York Times.
Her Selected Poems came out in 1926, a year after her death.
Canadian poet Sir Charles G.D. Roberts wrote that "Miss Thomas's work, in some of its best characteristics, recalls to me Shakespeare's sonnets."
In Modern American Poetry, Louis Untermeyer called her "the author of some dozen books of verse, most of them lightly lyrical in mood, although a few of her poems have a more dramatic quality. The best of her work may be found in Lyrics and Sonnets (1887), The Inverted Touch (1890), and The Flower from the Ashes (1915).
Thomas acknowledged Helen Hunt Jackson as a major influence on her work.
The biographical dictionary Notable American Women says that "she drew her principal literary inspiration from the lyrics of John Keats. She was a classsic poet in her prosodic regularity and in her continuing attention to Greek subjects. She was romantic in her emphasis on the self, although an aura of sentiment and pathos kept her from developing a constructive romantic position.... She was one of the first poets to capture successfully the excitement (the "ardent bulbs") of the modern city, and one of the most consistent in crying out against the inroads of the dollar sign on American culture."

Winter Sleep
I know it must be winter (though I sleep) --
I know it must be winter, for I dream
I dip my bare feet in the running stream,
And flowers are many, and the grass grows deep.
I know I must be old (how age deceives!)
I know I must be old, for, all unseen,
My heart grows young, as autumn fields grow green,
When late rains patter on the falling sheaves.

There is never a day I wake up and feel beautiful or special. Ever. Having a hot fianc� doesn't help. Deep down having someone that attractive want me made me feel special but it did and still does make me feel inferior. That people look a me like how could he want her. I love clothes and fashion but have rarely made any effort because it is like lipstick on a pig. That I look like a fool because none of my adornment makes me look better. Nothing. No matter how positive I try to be it always feels like swimming against the current. Please do not tell me it is ok, and chin up etc. I am not fishing for insincere compliments that I am pretty. This is about getting how the truth. The root of why I don't take care of myself the way I want too. The root of why I dated men who abused me and used me and hit me and cheated on me. Because I didn't then and I don't now feel I am interesting or have value. I wish turning that smile upside down made it better but it just doesn't. I know how it all started but I wish I could just feel better and then I wouldn't have this compulsion to eat. I wish I could look at him and not feel like this amazing man who loves me and thinks I am beautiful is just delusional and he will figure out that I am a fraud and leave me.
When I started on SP I think the biggest lesson I learned was that I needed to live the life I want to have, not live waiting to have that life when I was thin. Once I started living for myself in the moment I became a happier and more confident person. I began living the as the healthy person I wanted to be. Following through on the things I needed to do to be that person made me feel good about myself. Then I had a string of difficult times this past year that derailed me and I let them be excuses. I kept telling myself "when things get better" "when I get past this" and then more and more time would pass.
Today I decided no more excuses. Time to start living the life I want to live again. It actually took this pair of boots to have one of those aha moments that kick you in the butt and change perspective.
My fiance bought them for me as a gift because he was so happy to see me start to care again and they are a symbol of getting back to basics and doing things that make me feel good about me.
It is pretty hard to take a picture of myself wearing a pair of boots but I think it came out pretty good. A stranger came up to me when I was trying them on and said to me "you have to buy those boots, they look amazing on you." It is rare I think when things fit that well and interestingly enough I had spent the whole morning looking at boots online and saw nothing I was super excited about. I tried on 4 pairs at this store and they were all too big but these fit perfect. It feels strange to be an inbetween size but I am no longer a wide shoe anymore but I have a larger calf so sometimes wide calf boots fit and sometimes they are too big.
I had stopped caring about my appearance anymore and that is a big part of my self esteem. When I get up and take pride in my appearance I feel good all the time and it spills over into all aspects of what I do. I work out more, I make better food choices, my relationship is better, work is better. When I got divorced I ate, drank and shopped constantly. I blew the downpayment on a house in probably a year on nothing. Sure I have a closet full of coach bags but nothing else is left from that time and it was an embarrassing period for me. I realized I was trying to fill my self esteem with stuff and shiny new pretty clothes and bags made me feel good for a few minutes. Since that time I have gone the other way and almost refuse to buy myself anything nice and it isn't a healthy mindset either. I can't fix my past mistakes by denying myself things now. It isn't wrong to buy a new pair of boots. It is when that is all I did that it became a bad thing.
I decided today to get back to taking care of me. To nurture friendships instead of cutting people out of my life everytime they hurt me once. To stop expecting people to read my mind and ask for help when I need it. To start taking pride in my appearance again and buy a few good quality items instead of only buying 15 sweaters out of necessity that look like crap after 3 washes. When I look good, I feel good and I show others l feel good about myself as well.
The doctor told me I can back to working out next week and I am excited about it. I didn't realize being told I couldn't work out would make me so eager to do so! Eating right and living healthy made me be the person I want to be and I am going to continue to live this way. Thank you for all for your support. Healthyashley is back. Woot!
Yesterday I heard the pop of a can of soda in my office and immediately thought. Who would be drinking a soda? Then I realized, I am one of the only people in the office who doesn't guzzle diet soda. I don't guzzle any soda for that matter. I have had one soda in the last year and it tasted so gross I couldn't even finish it. Apparently this revelation makes me "weird" to my coworkers. They stared at me mouths agape. "You don't drink soda?" "Really?" "Why?" "OMG I would die!" It surprised me that something so benign would elicit such a strong reaction. Truly I would like to see everyone eat healthy but food police make me nuts and I never ever talk to people about what they or I eat unless they ask me. It does happen to come up a lot since food is what we do but there is never any judgement on either side.
Last night I thought a lot about how my "normal" has changed so much in the last year. Yes, I still eat some things that people on here would freak out over. Donuts happen to be a favorite but they are very rare. I have never really been a packed food person. It has been more than 10 years since I purchased a frozen meal at the store. They just don't taste good to me, then or now. However now when I do buy prepared foods I spent a lot more time reading the labels and making the best choices. I always worry about sodium which was something I had never worried about. I look for items with the least number of additives and preservatives. There is even a local brand of ice cream that is cane sugar, cream and ginger. That is it. I consider myself lucky to really enjoy eating healthy and making informed choices. No one is perfect and I love me some baked goods which are one of the worst choices I can make but being conscious everyday of making better decisions is a habit now and it is something I am proud of. It is a choice what we put in our bodies and I am happy that I am taking control and accepting responsibility for my choices. I don't miss soda and as someone who drank 6 cans a day in college that is a pretty awesome change.
I am angry that I finally got everything going in the right direction again and was being consistent and I am having it ripped out from under me. Again. It isn't right or fair. I am angry that have to go through all this. That I have to go to work and tell them I need to take time off. I hardly ever take personal time. I have not called in sick, ever, at this job. I pride myself on my dependability. Frankly I can't afford to take any more personal time unpaid because we are trying to save money but that is what I will have to do.
The only positive thing is seeing how my fianc� is supporting me 100%. How he is listening to my emotional rants and approaching this as our illness, not just mine. It has made me lose any doubts I have had about if I am doing the right thing or if I am with the right person. I knew he was the one but having had someone abuse me in the past I have serious SERIOUS trust issues with everyone and it has been a problem in our relationship. This experience has made me lose all my doubts about his sincerity or love for me.
Everything in life happens to us to teach us something and make us stronger. It isn't always what we want to happen but it is up to us to take the good or bad from it. Yes, I am angry but I will not let this beat me and as soon as possible I am going to be right back at it working out and living the way I want to live.
Thank you, all of you, for your amazing love and support. It has meant more to me that you all realize. Love you. Hugs
I haven't been feeling well most of the summer. I also despite actual serious effort have not been able to lose any substantial amount of weight. We decided to return early from vacation so I could take some tests and we received some very upsetting news on Wednesday. I am not going to go into it anymore on here than I need to have some surgery and the doctors feel that should take care of it and I should not need any further treatment if it all goes according to plan.
Needless to say weight loss is not the priority right now and is pretty much not even possible so I am going to be focusing on being healthy and staying positive. It is not life threatening. I wish that my last few bad days could be cured with an attitude adjustment or a it will pass mindset but it is not quite that easy. I appreciate everyone's support. I will do my best to stay active with all of you but I have to say my focus is elsewhere for right now. Love you guys.

Hagan Campaign Releases Report On Speaker Tillis' Promise To Eliminate Department Of Education
Tillis Said Eliminating Dept. Of Education Would Be "The First Priority When I Become Senator"
GREENSBORO – Today, the Hagan campaign released a report showing the dangerous consequences of eliminating the federal Department of Education, which Speaker Thom Tillis said would be his "first priority" if elected to the U.S. Senate. The report details, with specific numbers, the effect this would have on North Carolina's students, classrooms and teachers, which have already suffered under Speaker Tillis' irresponsible education budget in Raleigh.
The new report shows that eliminating the Department of Education could:
- Reduce or eliminate academic support for 585,000 North Carolina students and cut 7,000 teacher and staff jobs
- Force North Carolina college students receiving Pell Grants to pay up to $5,730 more per year for college. For a 2014 graduate with a four-year degree that would have meant up to $22,295 in additional costs
- Slash federal work-study aid for more than 19,000 students
- Shift the cost of providing special education for over 190,000 North Carolina children to the state
- Eliminate $28.5 million from all technical education programs
For video of Speaker Tillis promising to eliminate the Department, click HERE.
"Eliminating the Department of Education is a fringe, out of the mainstream idea that runs against our commonsense North Carolina values," said Kay. "It would put thousands of our students and teachers at risk at a time when they've already been asked to shoulder the burden of Speaker Tillis' irresponsible education budget. After doing so much damage in Raleigh, promising to eliminate the Department of Education as his first action is just one more reason Speaker Tillis has the wrong priorities."
Kay was joined by North Carolina students, teachers and parents who oppose Speaker Tillis' dangerous plan to eliminate the Department of Education.
"Kay has always been there for North Carolina teachers like me, and she continues to make education a top priority," said Dawn Davis, 12th Grade English Teacher and co-chair of Educators for Kay. "As a North Carolina teacher, I already know that Speaker Tillis has the wrong priorities for education because he slashed almost $500 million from public education to give tax cuts to the wealthy. Now he has promised to eliminate the Department of Education if he makes it to Washington, and it's clear we just can't trust Speaker Tillis to do what's right for our students."
"As a North Carolina student I am appalled by Speaker Tillis' destructive education agenda that he promises to bring to Washington," said Ebony West, a student at Eastern Carolina University who attends school with the help of Pell Grants. "Speaker Tillis' agenda has already hurt students like me and if the Department of Education was eliminated, as a Pell Grant recipient I would be forced to pay up to $5,730 more per year for college. That would be a huge burden to middle class families and it is clear that Speaker Tillis' education agenda is wrong for North Carolina and especially wrong for students."
The full report can be read HERE.
North Carolina has already seen how Speaker Tillis' wrong education priorities hurt our state after he chose tax cuts for the wealthy and cut public education by nearly $500 million. Last week, it was uncovered that he used a budget gimmick that means student growth won't automatically be factored into education budgets, threatening to make class sizes larger and leave problematic funding shortfalls for North Carolina schools. The Superintendent of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools called the change "radical".

Sauerbraten (a.k.a. Cube 2) is a free multiplayer/singleplayer first person shooter, built as a major redesign of the Cube FPS.
Much like the original Cube, the aim of this game is not necessarily to produce the most features & eyecandy possible, but rather to allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, to create fun gameplay and an elegant engine.
The engine supporting the game is entirely original in code & design, and its code is Open Source (ZLIB license, read the docs for more on how you can use the engine).
In addition to the FPS game which is in a very playable state, the engine is being used for an RPG which is in the preproduction phase. Additionally, Proper Games ltd are the first to use the engine commercially. dot3 labs is a company started by the creators of sauerbraten that offers commercial support.
About Cube Conflict with 6 comments by JeanOnche on Sep 13th, 2014
Hello, ModDB fellows. We are the team of Cube Conflict, a small FPS which has launched its beta in France on the 5th of September.
The game has been in Alpha for nearly one year, and is developed since July of 2013. It is a nervous, yet simple FPS based on the open Cube 2 Engine, you can play on the official game servers online or alone against up to 49 bots !
One the many particularities is that you play as smileys in a cubic -somewhat insipred by minecraft- world.
Cube conflict has plenty various weapons from the classics to the funniest, the best classic game modes, and a class system very different than the ones you see in many other FPS such as Tf2 or Battlefield.
You can play as many "Skills", from the kamikaze who wears explosives to the magician who casts spells, the Camper who has more accuracy, the Ninja who has two melee guns, and more !
By the way the game is full of cultural references, from popular video games to geeky stuff and easter eggs in the various maps of the game.
In Cube Conflict, you play in big maps from a simple Village, a crazy Factory, some middle-age Castles, and even a low gravity map on the Moon ! The maps look different each time you play since the game loads a random weather, from an afternoon sun to a rainy day and even Apocalypse !
You can also create your own maps with the built-in editor which is as simple as complete.
Despite the game being indie, it has an account system like a professional game ! You can log in and check out you stats from the game or on the official website, thanks to the Cubelog, the account system whose name is a parody of EA games Battlelog and Autolog.
Customize your characters ! The game menus has a store to purchase Hats, Capes and other smileys to be unique and fancy on the battle grounds ! As opposite to pay-to-win games, you can keep you wallet in your pocket, since you pay with Cislacoins, the official money that you win when playing !
By the way the store does not sell weapons, allowing the gameplay to be fair no matter what level you are, since what time you play or how much money you have.
In the future, if the game has success, we expect to add awesome features such as more guns and maps, the compatibility with 3D screens and Oculus rift thanks to the fork Tesseract, and maybe even a solo/campaign mode.
We hope you guys to enjoy playing Cube Conflict,
The Cube Conflict Development team.

Ok, was running a co-op edit server password protected editing a map. Some guy with [GM] at the end of his name comes into the server, wipes out a massive chunk of our map then leaves. What the F!@# man?!
His name started with J, ip is 220.127.116.11. Something like that should NEVER happen when I'm running my own server not listed on master server. Well never should happen period.
Was loving this game/engine/editor but if people have god access to any server and can do whatever they want, whats the point?
Anyone know I should contact about this?
is this game fun????
Of course! If you like Old-School fps, its a great alternative to quake (well, quake is a bit dead these days anyway) .
hey guys mine wont open a window just pops up but quikly shuts down help
who wanna fight me on the game hay
Update this please? It kind of sucks that I have to install the latest version through my browser rather than updating from Desura.
Also, the Desura version appears to have broken source code, or at least, when I try to run any game through a client rebuilt using the provided source code, Sauerbraten throws up a fatal error that I can only see and close the game by Ctrl-Alt-Deleting. D:
This doesnt happen to use .bsp map file type does it? I wonder what it would be like to port Hl1 to this engine...
Please make the invasion (DMSP) for multiplayer: Invasion(MP) and you can build with ctrl+e and make a house then wait for invasion. it can be endless it can be like set to how much monsters: 20 -200 - 4000 etc.
or waves.
Time to update! Collect Edition is out!
Highest Rated (2 agree) 8/10
Very fast playing game. Has nice graphics and is not hardware intencive. Quake 3 like. But it's not suitable for modding, the source code is hard to understand and modify, strange forums and no tutorials.

Dept. of Health to spray for mosquitoes in part of Brooklyn tonight
Dept. of Health to spray for mosquitoes in part of Brooklyn tonight
**Update: The spraying has been moved to Thursday evening due to inclement weather.**
I have received word that the Department of Health will be spraying for mosquitoes tonight, starting at 8:15 P.M., in some areas around Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery (see the map at the right of this page and the DOH announcement linked to below for details). They are doing so to reduce the risk of West Nile Virus this summer.
The agency says it will be using a low concentration of the pesticide and will follow U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines, but also recommends that you stay inside during the spraying if possible.
I am concerned that we had such short notice of this spraying and my staff is in touch with DOH representatives.
Here are excerpts from the DOH announcements:
Health Department Will Spray Pesticide to Reduce Adult Mosquito Populations
Spraying scheduled for parts of Brooklyn and Queens to help prevent West Nile Virus
August 1, 2011 - To reduce mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile Virus, the Health Department will spray pesticide from trucks in parts of Pomonok and Holliswood in Queens, and parts of Greenwood Heights, Park Slope and Windsor Terrace in Brooklyn, on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 between the hours of 8:15 p.m. and 6 a.m. the following morning, weather permitting. In case of bad weather, application will be delayed until Thursday, August 4, during the same hours.
Ground-based spraying will occur in Far Rockaway on Thursday, August 4 between the hours of 8:15 p.m. and 6 a.m. the following morning, weather permitting. In case of bad weather, application will be delayed until Monday, August 8, during the same hours. Recently, the Health Department received several mosquito nuisance complaints from the neighborhoods of Arverne, Somerville, Edgemere, Bayswater; Edgemere Park and Dubos Point Wildlife Sanctuary. Some mosquito breeding sites in these areas are inaccessible. The Health Department believes that the proposed nuisance ground application of adulticide will reduce the population of nuisance mosquitoes.
For these sprayings, the Health Department will use a very low concentration of Anvil®, 10 + 10, a synthetic pesticide. The use of pesticides in New York City is conducted in accordance with guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). A complete Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is available at www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/wnv/feis.shtml.
And from the Department of Health's website:
If the City sprays pesticides in an area where I am, what should I do during the spraying? If pesticide spraying occurs, DOH recommends that all individuals take the following precautions to avoid direct exposure to pesticides and reduce the risk of reactions:
- Whenever possible, stay indoors during spraying.
- Some individuals are sensitive to pesticides. Persons with asthma or other respiratory conditions are encouraged to stay inside during spraying since there is a possibility that spraying could worsen these conditions.
- Air conditioners may remain on. But if you wish to reduce the possibility of indoor exposure to pesticides, set the air conditioner vent to the closed position, or choose the recirculate function.
- Remove children's toys, outdoor equipment and clothes from outdoor areas during spraying. If outdoor equipment and toys are exposed to pesticides, wash with soap and water before using again.
- Wash skin and clothing exposed to pesticides with soap and water.
- Always wash your produce thoroughly with water before cooking or eating.
Anyone experiencing adverse reactions to pesticides should seek medical care or call 311 or the NYC Poison Control Center at (212) POISONS (764-7667).
For more information on West Nile virus, call 311 or visit nyc.gov/health/wnv.
Take Action
Transparency and fairness in Brooklyn parole facility siting
While I am a strong proponent of ex-offender re-entry and community-based justice programs, I have deep concerns about the consolidation of all NYS parole operations in Brooklyn to a single location on the Gowanus Canal that is inconvenient to transit, with no information provided by DOCCS, and no engagement with residents, businesses, or schools nearby. Sign our petition.
Reduce Single-use Bags in NYC
Plastic bags are designed to be used only for a short period of time, but their negative impacts are long-lasting. Even when properly disposed of, plastic bags often blow away onto the street or into waterways, where they become eye-sores, clog storm drains, and endanger wildlife. Our bill aims to reduce the use and negative impacts of carryout bags by requiring a 10-cent charge for carryout bags in NYC grocery and retail stores, and stores would retain the cost of the charge.
Help End Credit Discrimination
The use of credit reports to discriminate against job applicants is on the rise, with over 60% of employers nationwide using the credit histories of prospective employees to inform their hiring decisions.
Update: 10/6/2014: NYT Editorial Board: Bad Credit? Big Problem. A favorable credit report shouldn't be a condition for employment. "New York could be a leader in reversing this unsavory trend."

Has anyone used gluc powder to make mayo more DD friendly?
I was thinking about thinning the kraft olive oil mayo (already just 45cals per Tablespoon) about 1/2 and 1/2 with water or almond milk, then adding some gluc powder to make it gel like mayo.
Has anyone tried this?

Thim, how was your birthday??
I have 14 days of school left!! After that, I have four days before I start my graduate classes. I'm kind of excited about starting classes, but also a little nervous. Studying again?? YUCK! I'm just no good at reading. I sure hope that I get some good teachers!
|Thu, 05-08-2003 - 10:01am
hey, school will be great for you - it's a great opportunity to meet some new people, eh?
|Thu, 05-08-2003 - 10:02am
do you like teaching? i went to grad school, graduated in 2001. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
have a good day.
|Thu, 05-08-2003 - 12:04pm
What was even better - my secretary said I was right on target!! I also advised that if her daughter has any artistic/musical abilities to add that in to show how well rounded she is (she does). Now, one of the other secretaries wants a copy to use for her son next year when he is that age. It felt so good to write this for her and also to "make good" on my offer to do anything to help her get through this day, given her mother's illness (and I am sure my secretary was up all night because of her mother).
Just wanted to share - have a good day!

Lights Out in Suicide City, the full-length debut by this spunky local quartet, has been garnering kudos ever since it came out late last year. The band is giving the disc a fresh pressing, making this show a relaunching of sorts. Lights Out is a brash set of glam punk, not too long on originality but loaded with catchy riffs and dripping with punk ethos. Songs like "Bloodshot Eyes" and "Dead to You" don't say anything new, but they do have a cool way of making their perspectives sound fresh.
The Valentine Failures have been around since 2005, playing just about any area dive that would let them set up. Tattooed and pierced in just about every location, Justin, Wayne, Dillon and Bombs (first names only—this is punk) all look like the kind of bad boy that the girls dream about and all of the parents abhor.
And they parlay the best aspects of bands like D Generation, Lords of the New Church and Social Distortion while still maintaining that one element that eludes some bands who mine similar territory: authenticity.

|can you or would you advise against using pure compost in houseplants for potting mix, or would it be recommended to mix it in with a sterile potting mix??
i have heard something about insects being attracted to then indoors, i know my dog sure likes to sniff on em :)
Follow-Up Postings:
|The primary problem with compost, peat, or coir-based potting soils is that they are very water retentive right out of the bag and they become MORE water retentive as the particle size breaks down after planting in them. Compost based soils are not a good choice because if you water properly (so that a good portion of the water you applied exits the drain whenever you water) the soil retains so much water that it creates anaerobic conditions and roots die or rot. If you DON'T water properly, salts accumulate in the soil and slowly kill the plant. Mixing it (compost) with another fine product like peat or (sterile) seed starting mix doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
If you mixed 1 part of compost with 5 parts of pine bark fines and 1-2 parts of perlite and a little garden lime, you would have a very good houseplant soil, but there are still soils even better than that you can easily mix yourself, if you're willing to go to a little effort.
|i'm all ears.....er....um eyes....
|You'll find the open end of a long discussion about container soils for houseplants, here.
You'll find the same original post here, but lots of additional conversation on the same topic.
The basic soil requires you to find a few ingredients, but once located, you'll be able to build a soil less expensive than commercially prepared soils, but more importantly, a soil that is far more forgiving and much easier to grow in. I promise your plants will love it - especially if you cultivate a couple of very basic fertilizing and watering habits.

|Just from past experience.....
It is known out in the market that "vermicompost" is one of the best products and compost to mix in your soil for houseplants..They call it Black Gold!
I did just that. I used only a few teaspoon per 1 gallon pot in most my citrus and other tropicals a few years ago..Unfortunately I lost most of them to root rot because this product causing my once beautiful open and airy soiles mix to compact, breakdown and suffoctae the roots to my plants in just one growing season..
All the leaves showed signs of vibrance at the begining, then stress within just 6 months,for a lack of a better word. I will never turn back to these ways, especially since my local nursery took a good look at the roots and couldn't believe himself what manure could do in a pot..
After reading what Al as suggested you do, you will be opend to a whole new growing expereince for the better. My plants do awsome without the need of any of the compost you think they might need.
If you decide to take the gamble, goodluck..I am sure there must be some out there that know how to grow in this type manner, but that is not the chance I am ever willing to take, ever again...

|West, 'in my older plant books,' authors recommended using compost in certain house plants. Ferns are one example. Nowadays, there are other mediums that takes the place of compost. Offhand, I can't recall what they are..lol.
If I ever decided to use compost, 'yuck' mice, spiders and worms, lol, it would definately need baking..Use a disposable pan, bake at 375 for 40 mins..But I must warn you..it stinks up the house..lol..Still, if you feel a need to use it, it's worth the odor..
I don't know if it was you who mentioned manure. If you use it, the manure should sit at least 1 yr..fresh Manure WILL burn roots. Do you plan on adding compost/manure to your indoor plants? If so, which plants? Toni
|As noted, compost is a poor choice as any significant fraction of a container soil because of its fine particle size. Trying to amend it with products like perlite is like trying to amend pudding with perlite. Perlite does not change the drainage characteristics of compost, only the total volume of water the compost holds. If you start with a given volume of compost and add even as much as an equal volume of perlite to it, the perched water table remains at the same height and aeration remains minimal.
Manure is also a poor choice in container soils. It is extremely high in salts, it clogs air pores as it very quickly breaks down into sludge, and it's high N content makes it very difficult to add enough fertilizer to satisfy the plant's needs for other nutrients w/o elevating o/a fertility levels higher than favorable. It simply provides NOTHING in the way of nutrients you can't get in a good fertilizer and is a structural disaster, presenting a laundry list of issues to be dealt with.

|Compost used indoors is not the best of ideas, it won't have the opportunity to interact with other things of nature (germs, microbes maybe) which it would if used as an amendment in outdoor plantings.
If anything, I've used Worm Castings (earthworm poop) collected for this purpose. The recommended amount was something like 1 Tablespoon per pound of mix. I think I used a bit less (2 tsp per lb. of mix). The plants perked up nicely.
|1 part turface
1 part soil conditioner
1 part grani-grit (growers)
1 tsp. epsoma lime granules
is that what i was supposed to get from that? lol
|Scratch the lime and use gypsum in the gritty mix.
If I knew where you live, I might be able to help with the 'where' part. The bark is best if it's main fraction is very close to the 1/4" size range or slightly smaller (1/8-3/8) and uncomposted.
