Dining In The Dark
Living Sky Casino is hosting an exceptional dining event on Thursday, January 29th, 2015. We have partnered with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind to bring the 2nd Annual "Dining in the Dark" event to Swift Current.
Let us take you on a journey of the senses in one of the most unique dinners you will ever experience. Once blindfolded, let your senses take over and you'll enjoy the smells, the sounds, the textures, and the tastes in a way you never thought possible. With the complete loss of vision – and the resulting heightening of the other four senses – Dining in the Dark is an extraordinary culinary adventure to experience.
Occluders will be provided and each course will be directed by a CNIB Dining Coach. Music provided by singer/songwriter Tommy John Ehman.

Dinner show featuring Daylin James
Daylin James started performing as Elvis in grade school and continued until he was 21. Many said he shared Elvis' vocal technique and dynamics. At 21, and feeling a need to expand and explore, Daylin began performing country rock with a small band. Years passed without performing as Elvis, but audiences would still remark, "Do you ever sound like Elvis!"
After working with three other groups in both Pop and Rock & Roll, as well as some Heavy Metal, his band received an offer to possibly open for "Meat Loaf". Reluctantly resigning from the offer, Daylin chose to study music at the local university. After 2 years, and much disappointment, Daylin left music forever...or so he thought.
In 1996, Daylin was asked to resurrect the persona of Elvis at a private birthday party. Now a successful business man, he was at first reluctant but did finally accept. From this, he received many calls. This resulted in the forming of his own company, ERIGUS PRODUCTIONS, and producing of his own show, "Elvis For Good."
In 1997, Daylin attended the Canadian Elvis Convention and was named the "1997 Canadian National Elvis Tribute Artist Grand Champion" in the professional division. He also placed the highest score overall between the Canadian and International artists.

John Anderson
The story of John Anderson and his platinum-plus album, Seminole Wind, is the story of the country music "come-back" of the decade. It's the story of just reward for a singer who originally took country music by storm and helped keep it true to its roots back in the early '80's.
His memorable hits from that musical era included Wild and Blue, I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal, 1959, I Just Came Home To Count The Memories, Black Sheep and Swingin'.
Recently, John has released "Anthology". This 30 song collection is a culmination of all the hits in John Anderson's spectacular career as well as a few important songs that have been popular in his road show and frequently requested by his loyal following.
John Anderson…an influence to many of today's country artists, a colorful character and truly a country music treasure!

Ron James: Pedal To The Metal
Hailed by critics from coast to coast, award winning comedian Ron James has consistently sold out theatres across the country with his marathon, side-splitting, kinetically charged performances. With a comedian's eye for satire and a poet's ear for language, Ron cuts a wide swath through contemporary culture with a razor sharp wit and machine-gun delivery, making him a stand-out among stand-up performers.
Ron's one hour comedy specials, The Road Between My Ears, Quest for the West, West Coast Wild, Back Home and Manitoba Bound garnered nearly one million viewers. Ron recently wrapped production on the fifth season of his comedy series for CBC, aptly titled The Ron James Show.
When Mike Myers was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2003, he personally requested that Ron be the person to induct him. In 2004, when Late Night With Conan O'Brien filmed in Toronto, featuring Canadian superstars the likes of Mike Myers, Eric McCormack, Jim Carrey, and Michael J. Fox, Ron was the only comedian invited to perform a live set that rocked the jam-packed Elgin Theatre. This was Conan's highest rated show of the season.

One Bad Son
Singer Shane Volk, drummer Kurt Dahl and guitarist Adam Hicks first joined forces in Saskatoon, SK, in 2004. They independently released the albums This Aggression Will Not Stand in 2006 and Orange City in 2007. But it wasn't until Adam Grant joined on bass in 2007 that OBS was truly complete.
One Bad Son's reputation for tight musicianship and explosive, unscripted live shows spread through word of mouth, and before long, the group was playing to sold out venues in its hometown and embarking on a string of well-received national tours. This propelled the outfit to high-profile opening slots for Godsmack, Buckcherry and Default, and the singles "Rustbucket" and "Retribution Blues" received Canada-wide radio play.
The four friends relocated to Vancouver in 2011 — a bold move, considering their loyal following in Saskatoon. Now that the band is finally seeing its labour pay off in the form of a record deal and a quickly expanding fan base, don't expect One Bad Son to compromise its independent spirit and timeless approach to rock music any time soon.

Swift Current Allied Arts Council Presents Mickey Gilley In Concert
For the first time in over 20 years, the original 'urban cowboy', Mickey Gilley will be in concert in Canada in the (spring) of 2015! The legendary singer has had 17 #1 singles in his long career including "Room Full of Roses", "City Lights", "Fool for Love", "Don't the Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time" and his remake of the soul standard "Stand By Me".
It was "Stand By Me", from the block buster film Urban Cowboy in 1980 that catapulted Gilley from country to pop crossover superstar, taking him out of the shadow of his famous cousins Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart.
As he shares with audiences his career in music and the stories behind the hit songs, it is clear that the 70's brought most of his signature songs, awards and accolades. He is the recipient of six Academy of Country Music Awards from his first in 1974 of Top New Male Vocalist to Entertainer of the Year in 1976. Gilley is also famous for his namesake nightclub with the legendary mechanical bull and was one of the first artists to open a theatre in Branson, MO.
In concert it is a trip down memory lane with classic video snippets that segue into the live performance of favourites, "True Love Ways", "A Headache Tomorrow (Or a Heartache Tonight)", "Lonely Nights" and "Put Your Dreams Away" - songs that set in motion the amazing career of this Oklahoma born veteran performer!

Ballyhooley - A celebration of Irish song & dance
Ballyhooley is derived from the the words 'bally' which means 'town of' in Gaelic, and 'hooley' which is Irish slang for party or celebration, Ballyhooley is literally "the town party."
The evening is a celebration of traditional and new music with a focus on keeping the tradition of Irish music alive. The show incorporates nine musicians plus dancers, in a wonderful fusion of musical genres from the Irish music family, such as eastern European Gypsy and the various forms of modern Celtic music from around the world.
The inventive arrangements and grooves steer the Irish acoustic songs into surprising new territory. Celtic classics are enhanced with electric guitar, bass, and drums, bringing songs that have stood the test of time into the new millenium.
Combine that with thunderous bodhrán rhythms, drumkit, and the traditional Irish stepdancing of the River City Reelin' Rockettes.

Swift Current Allied Arts Council presents Ballet Jorgen � Cinderella
This ballet by Bengt Jorgen is an innovative take on the classic fairy tale. Jorgen's choreography balances the fairy tale elements of the story with a contemporary treatment of Cinderella and her family relationships.
Returning to the original Russian tradition of having women perform the roles of the stepsisters, Jorgen builds a more realistic and human look at Cinderella and her circumstances, and then uses these scenes to both counterpoint and highlight the magical aspects of the story.
Glenn Davidson's set design creates a fantastical environment based on the idea of the natural world reclaiming man-made structures. Inspiration for the set pieces is drawn from ice storms and old growth forests. Costume designs by Robert Doyle playfully echo each character's personality.
Ballet Jorgen Canada's Cinderella is a classical ballet with modern, dramatic sensibilities.

Fiddle Frenzy with Brian Sklar & Donny Parenteau
Brian Sklar
Brian Sklar has built a reputation as a world-class entertainer in Canada, the United States and Europe. His credits include 35 albums, numerous chart singles, and over 310 network and syndicated television shows. Sklar's television series, CTV's Number One West, has won a total of six national awards for excellence. Brain's group, the TEX PISTOLS, is a throwback to the days of country superstars like Ray Price, Faron Young, Bob Wills and the Sons of the Pioneers. The band's originals sound like Nashville 1965, and in some cases, Texas 1933. The group's trademarks are Nudie-style rhinestone suits and interaction with the audience the way entertainers used to in Las Vegas in the 50s and 60s. Brian Sklar and the Tex Pistols are an extremely entertaining trip back to the future; yesterday's classic country played with today's energy.
Donny Parenteau
Donny Parenteau knows WHAT IT TAKES to be successful in the Canadian Country Music Industry. Donny was born and raised in Prince Albert SK, and raised a bow to a fiddle in 1981. After mastering the intricate technique in playing this instrument, he expanded his versatility to play other instruments like the mandolin, electric and acoustic guitar and the unique double neck mando-caster/ electric guitar. With his superior vocal ability added to the mix his performances bring an easy transition of Classic Country to Blues to Easy Rock

Randy Bachman
Randy Bachman, the man often referred to as the "architect of Canadian rock n' roll," has defined over four decades of music history.
The list of unforgettable anthems he's turned into nuggets of classic rock gold over his illustrious career is a long one, having penned such enduring hits as "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," "Taking Care of Business," "Looking Out for #1" and "Let It Ride" for Bachman-Turner Overdrive; and "American Woman," "No Sugar Tonight," "Undun" and "These Eyes" with The Guess Who – songs that seem to have achieved immortality. Since his first hit in 1965 with "Shaking All Over," Bachman has sold over 40 million records and earned over 120 gold and platinum album/singles awards around the world for performing and producing, and his songwriting has garnered him the coveted #1 spot on radio playlists in over 20 countries.
On April 14, the trio, dubbed BACHMAN, will unveil its debut album, Heavy Blues, which has a raw, bruising sound inspired by the British blues of the 1960s, while forging a strong contemporary vibe. There's an immediacy and toughness to Heavy Blues that's impossible to ignore. At the same time, Bachman's songwriting craftsmanship shines through thick, fuzzy coats of distortion.

Restless Heart
John Dittrich, Greg Jennings, Paul Gregg, Dave Innis, and Larry Stewart – the men who make up Restless Heart have enjoyed one of the most successful careers in Country Music history, placing over 25 singles on the charts – with six consecutive #1 hits, four of their albums have been certified Gold by the RIAA, and they have won a wide range of awards from many organizations – including the Academy of Country Music's Top Vocal Group trophy. Those stats aside, Innis feels that their career goes much deeper than that.
With their record-shattering string of hits, such as "I'll Still Be Loving You," "Fast Movin' Train" and "When She Cries." Stewart says it's humbling to know Restless Heart has made an impact. "I'm proud of the fact that we get to hear stories from young artists and musicians that we might have made an impression or inspiring them to come to town – having number one records, and hearing the stories of what they meant to people. To be able to appreciate and feel blessed that we got lucky enough to get together. I feel like it was something that was meant to be."

On Jan. 25, 2012, Kirk Rohle entered a burning building at Hampden-Sydney College to rescue a longtime friend and fellow Hanover High School football standout. Last Friday, he received an award recognizing his heroism.
In a brief ceremony at the Virginia Department of Fire Programs in Glen Allen, Mark Buff, marketing and communications manager, presented Rohle with the "Governor's Civilian Lifesaving Award," bestowed annually to a civilian with no fire service affiliation who "exemplifies a dedication to helping protect the citizens of Virginia against the devastating effects of fire."
The Governor's Fire Service Awards were created in 2002 under then-Gov. Mark Warner and recognize service in eight different categories.
Rohle was originally recognized last month during a full service awards ceremony in Virginia Beach, but was unable to attend.
During the brief ceremony March 22, Buff recognized Rohle for his heroism and briefly recounted the events of the day in question.
"I think for any of us in this room, it's hard to imagine what you did that day. [It was] incredibly brave," Buff said.
After awaking during the blaze that started in the middle of the night, Rohle first escaped his burning residence hall at Hampden-Sydney College before re-entering the building with several others to search for his friend, Ben Rogers, who was unaccounted for. According to Herald-Progress reports following the incident, everyone emerged from the building relatively unscathed except for Rohle, who exited the burning building through a window after sustaining severe burns to his fingers and toes. Rohle was critically burned and underwent a long recovery at VCU Medical Center's burn unit.
He has since completed his studies at Hampden-Sydney and today works for Richmond-based Loveland Distributing Co. Inc. On March 22, he was thankful for the award and for the daily heroism of firefighters.
"I appreciate what you all do," Rohle told Buff. "It's a terrible situation for anyone who's unfamiliar with fire and I learned the consequences of it.
"What you all do, training all of the firefighters out there – they're some of the bravest men I've ever met and I have such a great respect for you all. Thank you all for what you do," Rohle added.

Why Do Europeans Drive On The Left Side Of The Road?
Why Do Europeans Drive On The Left Side Of The Road?
The reason why Europeans drive on the left side of the road goes a long way back to the Medieval Times. Since it was the time of violent feudal societies the swordsmen kept to the left side of the road to keep their right hand free in case they are attacked by opponents. Also, since people were mostly right-handed it was easier for them to mount their horse on the left side of the road and this way they would be able to hold the reins of the horse with their left hand while keeping their right hand free.
In the 1300′s left-side driving became a very important rule since it was mandated by the popes. However, France did not approve of it and changed to the right in opposition to the popes and to weaken their influence. A papal decree was even enforced across Europe during such time which indicated that pilgrims traversing on roads leading to Rome should keep to the left side of the road.
It was also believed that the keep left rule became widespread in Europe during the revolution because of the rule during those times that aristocrats travel on the left while peasants keep to the right. It was Napoleon who enforced the keep-right rule but countries which resisted the rule kept broadly left and these were Britain, Russia and Portugal. However during the dawn of the 1900′s Russia and Portugal had since changed to driving on the right side.
In the present time only the British and Irish people stick to the keep left rule. Since 1900′s more and more countries have shifted to driving on the right side to facilitate easier border crossings and with the onset of more advanced roads and infrastructures. However, British colonies across Europe along with Africa, Australia, New Zealand and even those that is in Asia such as Japan, Indonesia and India remain with the left side rule.

The share price of IT services company UXC continues to stay low relative to analyst expectations despite strong fundamentals. In early September, the company's share price fell from about 64¢ a share to 52¢ just one month later after its FY11 results, which reported a steep drop in net profit. But much of that was due to the split of the company to remove the less profitable field solutions group from its IT services and consulting units. Independent sources indicate UXC appears to be hitting its milestones and most analysts rate the company a "buy". However, its share price continues to hover between 52¢ and 56¢. This is mainly due to the IT services industry showing signs of slowing as financial uncertainty ramps up, but analysts point out UXC has plenty of major clients on long-term deals who are unlikely to be affected by market turbulence. The company is also in the process of buying back shares.

This is an absolutely amazing chair. I ordered one for my own office after having had the opportunity of sitting in one all day at a client's office. It is very comfortable and more importantly supportive and well worth the investment. If you are like me and spend the majority of your day at a desk this is the chair for you.

This is absolutely "the best" office chair. If you have neck and back pain sitting at your desk all day, it will be gone using this chair. People always look for leather cushy chairs that they think will be super comfortable. But they are not comfortable and force poor posture, which ends up hurting. This mesh chair gives you great support in the lower back and the headrest supports your neck. The arm rests are adjustable so that your wrists can remain straight. If I had this chair in the past, I probably wouldn't have had to have carpal tunnel surgery. Since I ordered this chair my boss and another supervisor have also had me order them the same chair. "Cushy is not always comfortable"!

Be kind to your body and ditch that cheap big box store chair NOW!
July 21, 2014
I have been holding off on reviewing this chair until I have actually used it for a decent amount of time. It has been 1 year and 3 months. I can say that I love this chair and have not regretted the investment I have made in it. For too long I have been ruining my back with cheap high back chairs from the big box stores which I would replace at least every 2 years.
I work from home, so you know that my chair has received a workout. I am 5'9" and this chair fits me beautifully. I can sit here for work all day, and still feel comfortable to sit in it while I surf online at night. The angles to incline are just to my liking. The material does not cause irritation to my skin nor makes it itchy. The neck rest is a must have in my opinion.
If I had one complaint, it would be that the armrests move out of position just a little too easily. Not so much that it's bothersome, but I would prefer them to be stiffer so that accidental movements are avoided.
I know it's an investment, but it has been so worth it. My friends are extremely jealous and really notice a difference between it and cheap chairs. They can't believe the comfort and neither will you. There is a reason it is so highly rated.

What a Chair
March 10, 2014
I wanted to give the chair a 4.5, not due to any shortcomings of the Ergo, just because no chair is perfect.
That said, this chair is fantastic...Is is a chair in which you place your bottom to accomplish tasks at your desk? Yes. Are there other pieces that accomplish the same purpose? Yes.
The difference is the experience. It's one of those things you don't think of until you have sat down and tried it yourself. In 10 years of owning my previous chair (which was a decent chair in its own right), I never once even thought about falling asleep in it. Within the 1st week of owning the Ergo, I wasn't able to stop myself from doing it.
Very expensive, but very worth it if you spend any significant amount of time in your chair.

This chair is very comfortable, well made and ergonomically supportive. I tried a number of other chairs and none offered the adjustments and lumbar support of this chair. The only negative is that the chair does not go low enough for my 5' 4" frame, and I needed to get a footrest to compensate for the height difference. Human Solution shipped very fast and was very communicative regarding the order processing and shipping info.

Great chair. i have back problems all my life and when i sit properly, i am not as sore when i get up. The key is that you need so sit properly as stated to get full affect from this chair. It is well worth the money. I tried multiple chairs over the years and this one turned out to be the best.

Ergohuman ME7ERG
April 19, 2011
This chair is very similar to my previous Herman Miller Aeron but with better lumbar support and a headrest (a huge plus for me). Some have dinged this chair in reviews because the armrests don't tilt back while reclining. I actually prefer the armrests to stay in place, as I find it more comfortable. I can't speak for the durability, as I've had the chair for just one month, but it seems well built and likely to last. I'll be getting more of these for the office.

Good choice
April 5, 2011
I have only had the chair for about 2 months, but so far I'm very pleased. Everything seems sturdy and well built. The grey mesh that I got is comfortable, rugged and there are no problems keeping it clean. I'm 6ft. 215lbs. and I can sit very comfortably with the chair set to it's highest position. Any taller and it could start to be a problem. I tried a HumanScale chair at a store, which is considerably more expensive, and it felt very small and uncomfortable. The Ergohuman is a much better fit.

Love it!

This chair is great. I've had it for about 2 years now. It is just now starting to creak when I lean back. I've modified the distance of the arms to make them lower so my arms would be 90 degrees and not slightly cramped like before. Other than that, I'm really happy!

I have owned several Ergohuman chairs for years now and would not think of settling for another brand. Over the years I my weight has fluctuated greatly and yet I'm always comfortable in my Ergohuman chairs. That's their secret; "long lasting phenomenal comfort" as the chair positions you in a stress-free posture.

I bought this chair because my husband has the exact same chair and he loves it and when I tried his, I loved it too. It is very comfortable and I like that you can adjust it to so many positions. The mesh fabric keeps it cool especially on a hot day. The adjustable arm rest is also a nice feature. I think you should kee selling this chair. I would recomment it to friends.

Resolved Neck Pain
July 23, 2010
Five years ago we purchased a $400 ergonomic chair, that had a tilt seat and back. The company promised it would resolve my lower back pain. It helped at first but after using it for three years, my back pain worsen and then I developed severe hip pain.
My doctor suggested to change my office chair, because I sat for hours typing reports and research papers. After sitting in my doctor's Herman Miller and Raynor chairs, the Ergohuman felt better for my body, however, I did not want to spend $900 on a chair.
For months, I used various pillows and cushion supports in different chairs but I still never could sit for more than a few hours without some back or hip pain.
I am short, heavy thighs and butt with a very curved lower back. Therefore I really needed a chair with full back support, and not an ergonomic task chair.
This year, I experienced a neck injury that required weeks of therapy. So I had to get a chair that would support my neck and shoulders.
The lower price of the chair, free shipping plus a discount motivated me to open my wallet and buy the Ergohuman mesh chair with headrest.
First day using the chair, I noticed that my back and neck are fully supported. This chair allows me to sit correctly, without slumping my shoulders or straining my neck forward. Even when I lean forward and backward my neck, back and shoulders are touching the chair. Don't wait and wait like I did because of the cost, get this chair to help your body feel good.
I have the mesh chair in the blue color which is closer to navy blue than aqua blue.
The only minus is that I am short and I can not adjust the head rest low enough to reach my neck. At the lowest point the head rest touches my head and I wish I could get it to move down 2 more inches.

Best chair I've ever owned
July 20, 2010
I recently upgraded from a $50 office supply store chair to the Ergohuman Mesh chair from TheHumanSolution, and I'll never look back!
The mesh is supportive and cool, the lumbar support and other adjustments fit my body perfectly, and I'm 6'4" 200lbs!
The only thing I would change would be to add a tilt limiter, where the maximum recline angle could be set by a toggle. Sometimes I find the deep recline of the Ergohuman to be a little too far for my regular programming activities.
Thanks TheHumanSolution and Raynor!
Here's an affordably priced high-end ergonomic chair that we recommend to people between 5' 3'' and 6'2''. Approximately ninety-five percent of the population falls within this range, so this is a great choice for many people who are experiencing minor to moderate pain or discomfort, along with those who are just looking for an office chair upgrade. The Raynor Ergohuman offers good support at a good price, comes with a great lifetime warranty, and fits many body types. No wonder it's such a crowd pleaser.

How would I go about splitting a young plant in two? It is sending up two shoots and both of them have nice foliage. It would certainly be a help as I have lost a few to rot. Pat |

Why not take a cutting? |
- Posted by steve22802 7a VA (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 13:31
You could probably carefully excavate one side of the plant until you can see if the two shoots have separate root systems and then shear off one of the shoots along with part of the roots and tubers. If you planted a single tuber then this will likely not work because the bases of the sprouts would be very close together and difficult to safely separate, but if you planted a clump of tubers then you would have a better chance of dividing it into two pieces. |
That means I would have to sacrifice a plant because two shoots from one tuber gives you a shorter, less vigorous plant. I don't know how to take a cutting? Will it grow if I do that? |
- Posted by CCvacation none (My Page) on Sun, Jul 7, 13 at 0:36
It's pretty late in the season to be taking cuttings with the intention of getting fully blooming plants this year. If they were my plants, I'd leave them alone, and plant clearance annuals from all the sales going on right now in the empty spaces you have. In trying to gain more plants, you might very well destroy healthy growing and soon-to-be blooming plants. Cheers! |

Someone recorded me at my job asking questions about treated lumber and about M.D.S (material data sheets) that you can ask for to get ingredients for products. He claims to have gotten cancer from the treated lumber. Hes says that I said that "if the customer is too stupid to ask for one than its not Lowes' (the company I work for) fault". He threatened my managers about taking it to court to sue for several million dollars. I believe that recording someone without their permission is inadmissible evidence in court but I cant be sure. Can someone let me know?
I live in NC by the way.
He recorded me without my permission, I had absolutely no idea he recorded me.

Eon wears the "scepter," a jewel on his hand with a variety of utilitarian magics, including the ability to restore destroyed objects to their original state and "store" equipment until Eon enters a fight.As Eon progresses through his quest, he encounters allies intent on helping him accomplish his goal, as well as the remnants of an ancient empire believed to have caused the calamity in the first place. But the situation is not as cut and dry as it appears to be, and Eon will learn, before his journey is over, that he has more of a hand in matters of fate than he believes...Combat in Granstream Saga is real-time, and is initiated by touching a wandering enemy whilst in a dungeon. Combat is one-on-one between Eon and a single enemy. Enemies fight in a variety of ways, from fast opponents that are easy to stun but hard to catch, to lumbering brutes who don't get stunned and must be fought using Eon's superior agility.

The Planner Plans
By Molly Dolinger | Photography by Kristin Vining Photography
Posted: Friday, Jun. 21, 2013
This March, Tiffany Ratliff switched gears, stepping out of her role as wedding planner with Weddings and the City to take her own turn on the aisle. We went behind-the-scenes to see just how a planner goes about planning her big day. So from Tiffany to you, here is some insight to help you relax, enjoy, and learn to let go:
The Point of View: The biggest difference between planning my own wedding and planning someone elses was that Ive never had problems making decisions. If I gave my brides three choices, I always had my favorite. For some reason as a bride, I found that very, very difficult. So I gave my vendors a lot of free rein. I just kind of trusted that all of my friends would deliver. The Vision: Ive never really had a dream wedding in mind because I love so many different styles. If it had been a December wedding, it would have been totally different than a March wedding. If it had been in August, I probably would have done more color. Sometimes a lot of my dreams express themselves through my clients weddings. I knew I wanted it to be a tone-on-tone palette, neutral, clean, but other than that I didnt really have a dream.The Bachelorette Party: For the bachelorette party, my maid of honor, Lindsey, got us rooms at The Market Pavilion Hotel in Charleston. It was February and the weather was phenomenal. It was in the 60s so we were able to sit out on the rooftop and relax. It was probably one of my favorite weekends ever, just a chance to hang out with all my girlfriends, no drama, and let loose. It was awesome, it really was.The Planning: The planning I did myself. For the designing, Kristin [Vining], Lindsey [Regan Thorne] and I had a brainstorming session at Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar one day. We sat down and sort of hammered everything out. The Vendors: My vendor selection was pretty easy. I already knew who I would choose for what. For food, Best Impressions, hands down my number one choice. For photography, Kristin Vining, hands down. For music, Split Second Sound, hands down. The only thing I didnt know was the venue, and that was it, really. I feel like I had the best of the best of the vendors in Charlotte. I never had a fear or a concern that I wasnt going to love what they would do for me.The Food: As far as the food, Ive worked with Best Impressions a lot in the past. Of course, I have my favorites from over the years. Rudy and I and his mom went to the tasting and loved it all. Needless to say, we ended up having a lot of food at the wedding. My favorite was the fajita barthey served miniature margaritas and baby Coronas. It was so cute. For a late night snack we had little sliders with Parmesan cheese string fries and strawberry milkshakes. The Style: Lindsey is my best friend. When it came time for hair and makeup, I said, Whatever. I totally trust you. Just go for it. We did my bridal portrait the Thursday before, and I loved it. I normally dont like my hair up, but I absolutely loved it, so we recreated the same exact look for the wedding day.The Photography: Kristin was my bridesmaid and my photographer. I feel like she is superwoman, so she can do anything. Look, Kristin, I told her. I know youre going to want to get a camera and get up in there shooting. But I want you there first and foremost as my friend. I think she did a phenomenal job of doing both.The Dress: The dress shopping was fun. We went to J Majors, and there was one dress that the owner, CJ, had said, Oh, this is the one. I know it is. I walked by a dress on a hanger and said, Oh my gosh, I love this. I had no idea it was the one CJ had picked out!The Weekend: I know how important it is to have someone there to make sure everything goes smoothly the weekend of the wedding. Katrina from Come Together Events had reached out to me about doing the weekend-of. I had heard nothing but great things about her, so it was pretty easy for me to trust that she would do a great job.The Reception: For the reception, [my husband] Rudy had the idea to get shutter shades and some other fun accessories. At the end of the night, we had all these boas and caps and things. One person went and got something, and everyone was like, Whered they get that? By the end of the night, I think everybody dancing had something on.Letting Go: I have to tell you that the days leading up to the wedding or even the weeks leading up to the wedding, I had a really hard time letting go. Im used to being the go-to person, the project manager. I wasnt doubting anyone, but thats just the planner in me. When it came to that weekend, I let it all go. I didnt even worry one bit. I dont know what happened those two days, but all the control I wanted, I let it go. I knew all of my friends would do a fantastic job because they always do.My Advice: My biggest piece of advice for brides planning their own weddings? I have two things. First and foremost, you cant make everybody happy. You have to plan your wedding to be the one you and your husband want, not what everybody else wants. My second piece of advice would be to have someone help you on the day of. I cant imagine me, alone, having to coordinate all that on the day of, and being able to enjoy time with my bridesmaids, and getting my hair and makeup done.The Charlotte Observer welcomes your comments on news of the day.

Portage mom egged cars while driving impaired: Police
By Erin Guerra Post-Tribune correspondent April 5, 2013 4:52PM
Tarian Hepner
Updated: May 7, 2013 6:09AM
PORTAGE — A Portage mom is accused of blaming her 8-year-old son for vandalism she committed.
Tarian Hepner, 27, allegedly took several young children with her when she threw eggs at vehicles in their neighborhood Thursday night and nearly drove over one of their owners, according to a police report.
She also allegedly was driving impaired with a 5-year-old and two, 2-year-old children in the back seat when police arrested her at 10:10 p.m. at Clem Road and Hickory Street.
The 5-year-old, with her father's permission to speak with officers, said that before picking up her father from work, "Mommy threw eggs at someone's cars," according to the police report.
Hepner is charged with felony impaired driving with a child in the vehicle, felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor charges including false reporting and criminal recklessness.
About 9:45 p.m. Thursday, a couple living in the 2500 block of McCool Road reported someone had scratched their vehicles — a 2002 Dodge Caravan and a 2006 Chevrolet Impala — and vandalized them with raw eggs. The victims told police they saw Hepner in their yard just before they discovered the damage, and as she left in a silver van, she nearly ran the man over when he stepped into the street to stop her. They said Hepner was upset because they owe her $600.
Hepner's version of the events was that she was looking for her dog when her son threw the eggs, but she did not know who scratched the vehicles.
She failed field sobriety tests but said she had consumed only her prescribed medications, according to the arrest report.

Once youre done, you can fast forward or jump ahead to catch back up with the progress of the match. Directed Camera By engaging Directed Camera mode you can allow the computer to guide your perspective, automatically selecting the most interesting action on the field. While this mode is engaged, the computer will analyze everything that is currently happening in the game and select the most significant event, whether its First Blood, a team fight or a baron attempt. You can even select a specific player that youd like the Directed Camera to focus on, or jump to another event by pressing the space bar.

Life is all about grace. No one is entitled to his or her first breath or next breath. Each breath is a gift from God, according to North Cleveland Baptist Church Pastor Jay McCluskey.
"I really believe the best way to project your life is to say it's all about grace. Grace is God's goodness and kindness to us that we don't earn, merit or deserve," he said during a recent interview. "Everyone is a recipient of grace."
People try to eliminate aches and pains, they would like to have more money in the bank, drive nicer cars or rid themselves of some of the negatives in life, "but if we think about the positive things, it really is all about grace."
The wise way to relate to others, he said, is to make the effort to be a kind person and show grace to others, even if they do not return it. McCluskey adopted that line of thinking while shaping up his theology during his college years.
"Our basis for forgiveness and our promise of eternity in heaven is all by grace. It is a gift." By understanding all that God does for us is a gift, "it wasn't too much of a journey to understand that's how you should treat other people."
McCluskey, 53, was born in 1960 to the Rev. James and Elizabeth McCluskey in Knoxville, where he was raised. In 1959, his father began his work at Wallace Memorial Baptist Church, serving there for 37 years until he retired in 1996.
"Staying at a church for pretty much your whole vocational career is the model he gave, and it is the same kind of thing I'm enjoying by getting to know people and seeing their children and their children's children come along — it's a great illustration of a good way to do pastoral ministry," he said. "It's God's work and calling, of course, but it is a special blessing when you get to stay."
McCluskey is happy he could provide the same stable experience for his two sons, John and James, that his father provided for him. He is also thankful for his wife, Michelle, a nurse practitioner who works in Rhea County. The two met at Carson-Newman College where he first felt God calling him to some form of ministry.
"I wasn't sure what it was at the time, but He had something for me so I moved in that direction," McCluskey said.
The young, green and wet-behind-the-ears minister began getting a few opportunities to preach by filling in for other pastors. After graduation, he worked a year doing orderly work at Baptist Hospital in Knoxville while Michelle finished her degree.
"In May 1983, we were married and in August we loaded up everything we had into one car and a U-Haul trailer, and moved to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. Those were the only three years of my life when I haven't lived in East Tennessee," he said.
During that time, he had his first part-time pastorate at a small-town church in Indiana.
"I've always said the greatest contribution that little churches like that make to the Kingdom of God is probably just letting young preachers learn how to preach," he said. "I finished up my masters in divinity and that's part of the story that brought me to Cleveland."
He graduated from seminary school in May 1986 and one week later, he and Michelle's first son, John, was born. At that same time, North Cleveland had an interim pastor who knew the elder McCluskey and had other roots and ties in Knoxville.
"Doyle Suits vouched for me. I really don't think this church would have looked at a guy with no experience at that time," McCluskey said. "But in one of those great acts of faith, they took in a young pastor."
James was born two years after their arrival in Cleveland. He is now a teacher at Ocoee Middle School and is engaged to Megan Valadez, a member of North Cleveland. John is a graduate of Lee University who is working on a doctorate in musicology at the University of Kentucky. He and the former Julie Gibson have been married two years. She is the daughter of First Baptist Church co-pastor Jim and Mary Beth Gibson.
"We've been blessed with two boys who are married or marrying good girls by the grace of God," he said.
McCluskey said the people in church are on the frontlines of ministry. They leave the church building on Sunday morning and show grace in their neighborhoods, schools and workplaces, because every Christian is a minister.
"We are all ambassadors of Christ wherever we may be," he said. "The Jesus I love and read about in the Gospel was out there in the marketplace. He was out there in the community being a voice and showing grace," McCluskey said. "I think that's a good way, not just for pastors to be, but that's part of God's plan for everybody, for all Christians. Jesus said we are salt and light. There is a lot around us in this world that's in darkness, so let's go shine a light."
He said people get into trouble when they compare their lives with the lives of others.
"But if we would take inventory of our own lives, I would say everyone would say God has been good to me," he said.

Austin: Our wacky neighbor 196 miles to the south.
This weekend: Packed bumper-to-bumper and buttock-to-buttock for SXSW.
Your alternative: Skip the traffic and catch many of the same bands tomorrow at South By So What?
Now in its sixth year, this music festival is building momentum by featuring many of the bands performing in Austin all in one venue for a fraction of the cost. Catch more than 60 acts spanning metal, rock, pop, indie rock, hip-hop, and electronic genres.
Fan favorites include Oh Sleeper (above), Motionless in White, Upon a Burning Body and Riff Raff.
It's a full day of all-you-can-hear music that's so much closer to home. And free of buzzwords like "live stream" and "gamify" and "next big thing."
We're all for keeping Austin weird -- it's just that sometimes a rockin' Grand Prairie is even better.

Sence their is nothing specificly on moss, i figured i would ask. What are good things to do with moss ( know it grows VERY slow, but like i just thought it would be cool to grow moss and do things like that) Like what kind of moss would you recomend? Where to get it? wich looks cool? Could i get it from outdoors? If iw ere to get it from outdoors how would i get it? Could i start growing it from just setting some wood or rock or something and keep it moist and stuff?
Cheers |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you do an internet search for "propagating moss" you'll find that many recommend that you get a small amount of moss (from wherever), shred it up and mix it with a little yogurt or buttermilk. Then put it over where you want it to grow (a piece of wood, a rock, a soil area) and keep it moist. Some people take a piece and transplant it directly without breaking it up. There are many different mosses and some like to grow on wood, some on compacted soil, so try to replicate similar conditions to where you find it. |

TAsk 1 finding moss in a dry enviroment (theirs bound to be some place) Task 2 And aproxomitaly how long would it take for this moss to grow? cause i know i have projects in school from time to time. (this would give a 3-d moddle that realisitic effect instead of using that fake moddle grass) CHeers |
Why would you look for moss in a dry environment? You can get it from anywhere. Sidewalk moss is very compact, moss in the woods is fluffier almost fern-like. Yes, you can certainly chop up the moss and not use a blender. I think it would take several months for this to grow. Mist it to keep it moist. |

THe trouble is i cant find any its dry most of the year hear, so theirs not much moss. that i have seen of at least I can chop up the moss just as fine with out a blender, but thanks. I will keep an eye out for moss, I think i might have located some but i didnt have the time to check, ill think about the blender. And, what about the yogurt would i have to buy plain yogurt? And are their other substatutes other than yogurt and buttermilk? Cheers |

I finaly found some. Ok im just going to skip the wholeChopping and spreding part im just going to atempt to grow it, misting it every day, letting it grow in a small pudding cup. (that should be fine right?) once it gets full (in several months)But slowly it will take over its new small enviroment getting litle to no sunlight,next to my computer to keep it warm. Does this sound good? Cheers |
