Looking for some input on using this seed (or other?) for a hybrid Bermuda lawn. Hoping to use the seed rather than sod right now. Have a predominately DG soil right now and fescue has not responded in a consistent manner - brown patches sporadically. The lawn gets sprinklered/timed water. TIA |

Where do you live? SoCal is not nearly specific enough. You could be in Big Bear, Newport Beach, Blythe, or somewhere else. There might be a better grass depending on your specific soil and climate. Are you ready to mow twice a week from now on? Are you ready to fertilize once a month? Is your soil perfectly contoured for drainage to the sides and out to the front of your house? If not, don't do anything about that yet. P77 is a good grass especially considering the California water situation. You might want to seed with a mixture of Yukon, Riviera, and Princess 77 at a rate of 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Here are the general guidelines for bermuda as reinterpreted from The Bermuda Bible Every month during the growing season Every week during the growing season What is DG soil and what does fescue have to do with anything? Looks like you don't have a lawn at all. Is there grass there that has died? If so then we kinda need to know why it died. How often did you water it and for how long? Please don't do any prep work on the soil until you write back with answers to the questions. Prepping for bermuda is very specific. If you start wrong you'll regret it for the next several years. If you want to do anything for your soil, then add an organic fertilizer. I like alfalfa pellets at a rate of 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. |
We live in the Inland Empire between Corona and San Bernardino where summer temps get into the high 90's-100. The house is actually my daughter's and the soil is DG (mostly decomposed granite) with a high drainage factor. All of the grassy area is flat. There had been grass there at one time, but when they bought the house last year there was nothing as the yard had not been watered for a year or more. (Trees hadn't been watered either, but that's a whole other story.) In the early spring last year her friend repaired the sprinkler system, tilled it, prepped it, planted fescue and watered it heavily all spring and summer. It's a fast growing water needy grass and with the conditions as they are, we'd like to help her get something with less maintenance. We have a tifgreen hybrid Bermuda in our yard (which is predominately clay, so almost the exact opposite of her yard.) My husband and I personally like the hybrid a lot and like the fact that it goes dormant in the winter. We mow once a week in the summer and water every other morning for about 8 minutes a station I think. None of us have the time to do sod right now, so when we read that the hybrid was available in seed form, we thought that might be a good solution. |

Are you afraid to say she lives in the decomposed granite foothills overlooking Riverside? Or that she lives between Chicago and Alessandro? Don't be shy. Every little bit helps. You said they rototilled. The decomposed granite in the foothills overlooking Riverside cannot be tilled. It can be jack hammered but not tilled. How deep is this soil? Can it be dug up without a jack hammer? How deep? Does high drainage factor mean that it drains fast or slow? Again, the decomposed granite I am familiar with is impervious to water. I grew up next to the orange groves (now gone) between Central and Arlington east of the 91. The foothills all around were solid decomposed granite. Princess 77 is not Tifgreen. Calling Princess 77 a hybrid is sort of a misnomer. It is a variety of common. It is more closely related to common bermuda than to the TIF type hybrids. Fescue is definitely not the grass to have in SoCalifornia in 2014. It needs too much water to keep it alive. After you get the lawn changed over to something more drought friendly, you'll be changing your watering schedule to once a week during July and August. The rest of the summer it can be once every 2 weeks and monthly in the fall, winter, and spring. And yes, I realize this flies in the face of what everyone in SoCal does, but everyone in SoCal is wrong. I'm growing St Augustine in the Texas desert and have not watered my entire lawn yet this year. It's a matter of growing deep roots. That's why I need more info about her soil. If she has loose decomposed granite or soil on top of it, that's different. Need more info. |

"Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story, 'The Conjuring' tells the horrifying tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives."

"We wanted to create a keepsake that symbolizes everything the games truly represent, something we could then pass on to future Olympic host nations," explained James Parker, Catholic Executive Coordinator for the 2012 Games.
"As Christians our lives mean nothing without the Cross and so this seemed to be the most suitable object to commission for ourselves and as a future gift to others."
The cross will stand at the Joshua Camp, an international Catholic Olympic gathering to be held in East London from Aug. 1-13, the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales reported. The camp will provide hospitality, organize service projects and create a Catholic presence to foster spiritual growth and evangelization.
Organizers have described the camp as "Olympic World Youth Day."
Fr. Simon Penhalagan, President of the Sion Community, blessed the cross in the presence of young Joshua Camp volunteers from around the world.
The Olympic cross was specially commissioned for the 2012 London Games. Artist Jon Cornwall, from the Walsingham House retreat center in Essex, designed and created the work.
Cornwall said he used 12 different types of wood from around the world to represent the 12 disciples. The wood making up the three-tiered base of the Cross includes three types chosen to symbolize the virtues of faith, hope and love.
Fr. Penhalagan said there is a "growing affection" for the Olympic Cross among those preparing for the Joshua Camp.
"I am confident that those who will travel across the globe to be with us in London next week will also come to honor this Cross and in so doing will fall more in love with Christ," he said.
Parker said the Joshua Camp could become a model for how to combine sports and spirituality at future global sporting events.
"This initiative is a powerful response to Pope Benedict's call to find ways to draw modern hearts and minds to Christ," he said.
The Olympic Cross will remain at the Joshua Camp throughout the Olympic Games.
After the games, the cross could head to Russia for the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games or it could head to Brazil for the 2013 World Youth Day, the 2014 Football World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Forget about cute little garden gnomes, because the Sculpture Park of Veijo Rönkkönen has better-looking statues that are really scary. Veijo Rönkkönen is an artist who specializes in making sculptures, and has been doing so since 1961.
The Sculpture Park of Veijo Rönkkönen is located in Finland; get a sneak peek of what's in store there above. A creepy bonus is that each statue has a speaker hidden inside so noises can enthrall—or scare the heck out of—passersby.

Kris gets really drunk and decides to vandalize Kim's gorgeous mansion on the July 7 episode of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'! You've never seen Kim so angry and what happens will leave you shocked!
Kim Kardashian is not in the mood for fun and games! On the July 7 episode of KUWTK, Kris Jenner takes Khloe Kardashian out to dinner. But one too many tequila shots lead to a wild night that gets Kris nearly arrested!
Kris Jenner Decides To Prank Kim
Khloe is feeling incredibly left out because Kim and Kourtney Kardashian spend every single moment talking about how to plan for baby North West. But unfortunately, Khloe can't relate because she hasn't been blessed with motherhood quite yet. When Khloe runs to her mom for comfort, Kris suggests they have a ladies night.
Khloe isn't exactly thrilled with the idea of hanging out with Kris because she feels like she drinks too much. This is precisely what happens! When they go out, Kris keeps ordering shots and finally Khloe tells the bartender to cut her off. Then Kris gets the grand idea to pull a crazy prank on Kim!
Khloe suggests they toilet paper her house and Kris thinks it's a fabulous plan. The ladies go to the pharmacy to buy toilet paper and Kris is running all over like a drunk teenager! She's trying on sunglasses, brushing her teeth and spraying shaving cream inside the store.
Finally they head over to Kim's and you'll never believe what they do!
Kris Jenner Almost Gets Arrested For Vandalizing Kim's Mansion
Kris climbs Kim's wall with the toilet paper in hand and helps Khloe get into the backyard. The two women proceed to absolutely trash Kim's house. They spray shaving cream all over Kim's doors, windows and flowers. They throw toilet paper everywhere — it looks like a winter wonderland from hell. But the best part is that Kanye West is about to arrive at the house any second!
Kris and Khloe finally leave the house and Kim turns on her cameras and sees the damage. She walks outside with Jonathan Cheban and she absolutely freaks out!
After calling her mom and sister to yell at them, she decides to confront them. The next day Kim and Kourtney go to Kris' house and scream at Kris and Khloe. Kim tells them that she could have them arrested for vandalism and Kris tries to tell Kim that it's a joke and just chill out. Eventually the women work it out but we've never seen Kim so angry!
Tune in next Sunday to E! at 9 p.m. for more KUWTK.

More examples of juvenile vapid scripted shows featuring the ridiculous Kris J. They need some decent writers and real plots to this unreality show. Everyone knows Kim knew all along that the two idiot women were going to ruin her landscaping and that they'd hire it to be cleaned the same day. Drug store scene: ridiculous as usual. This woman needs a psychiatrist if she even agrees to do some of the shows they do. No role models for younger people in any of the adult cast members except possibly Bruce if he'd ever show what I think is his more real, normal self. I so hope he'll stay in his own home and get out of there intact before he goes completely haywire. Screaming at each other and then big group hugs and apologies are not what I'd hope Americans deal with in their family lives. They try so hard to be weird, edgy, and funny, and fail short at all of them except the weirdness. Eab, sorry, but imo Kris is too old to be excused as having a mid-life crisis. Rolling yards and spraying shaving cream around are for 11-year-olds, not grandmothers who pretend they're going to be serious t.v. commentators. Shame on Khloe and her nutso mother. Mason, Penelope, and North will laugh at her when they're older, but not in a good way.

Bigtime. The Kartrashians know that people are tired of their arrogant attitude and care free lifestyle. They've made millions and millions of dollars and continue to get FREE stuff like trips, clothes, jewelry, and so much more. Not to mentions they even make between $50,000.00 and more to tweet. Can't believe people defend them. They are money grabbing trash.

Jury selection is underway in the case of a 20-year-old Volusia County man accused of raping a baby.
Edwin Wren could face life in prison in the felony case if convicted.
Wren was arrested in October of 2011 near New Smyrna Beach after prosecutors say he raped the 9-month-old daughter of a friend. He'd been babysitting the infant.
The baby underwent surgery for trauma to her body.
Wren is charged with sexual battery on a person under 12 years of age and aggravated child abuse.

Beware the Google Adsense "Account Disabled" Phishing Scam
Phishing attempt hits Google Adsense account holders.
With all of the talk about Adsense users finding their accounts disabled lately, users should be aware of a phishing scam playing on Adsense clients' greatest fear: losing their account.
Today I received an email purporting to be from Google telling me my account was disabled. And frankly, it's the closest I've ever come to falling for a phishing attempt. That's partly do to circumstance and partly because the scam is fairly well done.
On the circumstance side, I had an unusually high number of clicks on one of my sites yesterday. It seemed to good to be true, so I was afraid something was amiss.
On the scam side, the phishers appear to have copied an actual email Google uses to inform users their accounts have been disabled. Or at least something very close. There's no broken English. Here's what it says:
While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense
account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since
keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage our
advertisers in the future, we've decided to disable your account.Please understand that we consider this a necessary step to protect the
interests of both our advertisers and our other AdSense publishers. We
realize the inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you in advance
for your understanding and cooperation.If you have any questions about your account or the actions we've taken,
please do not reply to this email. You can find more information by
The Google AdSense Team
The email came from firstname.lastname@example.com, which apparently is a real Google email address that it uses to contact customers, at least according to a couple blog posts. (Surprisingly, Gmail didn't warn me that the email was actually sent from someone other than the return address like it usually does. But it did put the message in my spam folder.)
But there are a few problems with the email. First, there's no email address in the 'to' line. Second, it just addresses me as "hello", rather than a name.
And finally — here's where the phishing takes place — there's an attachment to the email called Invalid Clicks Appeal.html. Well, that file actually opens up a URL at 110MB.com instead of Google's web site.
It makes me think that some people who have been reporting that their Adsense accounts were shut down are actually falling victim to a phishing attempt.
Be alert!

Girl who flipped off judge gives tearful apology

Barat Ali Batoor, recipient of a Documentary Photography Project Production Grant, focused his project on bacha bazi (literally "boy play") in Afghanistan, a practice in which young boys are sold to and kept by male patrons—often powerful warlords, former military commanders, and wealthy businessmen—for entertainment at private gatherings, for use as sexual objects, and as a sign of prestige. The bacha bereesh (meaning "boy without a beard") range in age from as young as 11 to 18 and are trained to dance and sing in women's clothing, with bells tied to their feet.
As many are abducted into the practice or are sold by their families, orphaned, homeless, and underprivileged boys are particularly vulnerable. Although illegal in Afghanistan and condemned as a form of child trafficking and sexual slavery, prohibition of bacha bazi is rarely enforced, as many of its patrons hold positions of power and influence.
Batoor documented the lives of former bacha bereesh in Kabul who were able to escape their owners. In doing so, Batoor aims to shed light on not only how the ancient practice of bacha bazi has been revived, but also how it has affected these youth over time.

17-Bit's much-praised strategy game is free for the holidays on iOS, and it seems like it will stay that way for a while.
The game, which stars a deceased samurai general who rallies troops to conquer the afterlife in turn-based battles, became free before Christmas, and remains so still. It seems it may stay free until at least the new year, but there's no way to be sure, so snatch Skulls of the Shogun while you can.

My Bluestar island trim is stainless steel. It is discolored and has a burned look. I have tried all the usual stainless steel cleaners, but nothing works. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks, peke |

The stainless is permanently discolored from the heat. It's a badge of honor, not a defect. It means you actually COOK and purchased something that you can do it well with! |
What holly said!! It's seasoned, embrace it :) |
Ok. IT has been used a lot. So far I have only had three burners going at a time. I love the really low burner too. What I can't figure out is why I need the island trim anyway. It is just a rangetop...no oven. My largest pot is too big for the back burner. The island trim is in the way and I can't center the pot. I think that is why the trim got discolored. |
I finally got that burned look off the stainless steel island trim piece. I used oven cleaner. It had to stay on a while, and I had to spray it twice, but it worked. Peke |

Just wondering what all you creative folks do to remove your dead and dying foliage.....besides taking a dip.
Was wondering about those mechanical reaching hands.....would they tolerate the water on them? Right now I use a toilet bowl brush attached to a long stick....really only removes the more decaying plant parts. What do you use? Thanks, Flora2b |

At some pet stores, you should be able to find a device with a blade on one end, a trigger on the other, and is long enough to reach into the pond. I can't remember the name of it, but it works great. |
So far, I just take a dip. When the weather and water cool, I will turn 'smurf-colored' doing it, unless I find another solution like you. I will start surfing and see what I can find out for us. |
I had a device with cutting blades. It worked great at cutting dead plant leaves off of the live plant, but was not so good at picking the cut off parts out of the water. The device lasted several years before it rusted and stopped working. This year I came across a grabber device at Harbor Freight. It's all plastic and the two grabbing parts are strong enough to crush stems. Its easy to pull dead parts from the plant and remove them from the water. So far I'm very pleased with it. The HF grabber cost $3 vs $28 for a "pond pruner". |

I got this rose and it's ghislaine de feligonde or supposed to be. I wasn't aware it had pink on the outer petals though. I thought it was apricot, yellow and fades white, maybe it's like this because it's a baby? and in partail shade? any input would be helpful ya'll , Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
well no, not really, but I have been mistaken by GdF's tendency to fade to a very pale creamy white. The kicker for me, in your pic, are the buds - mine are usually the clearest tangerine colour. Pinking, on roses, is so dependent on temperature and humidity that I would be looking for someone nearer to you to chime in with their ideas. The leaves and growth style do look feasible though. |
Thanks Campanula, Hopefully someone else can chime in like you said! I hope it's right because if it's not that will be the second one. The other was Mme. Abel Chateney :( This one atleast is Therese Bugnet right? Please say yes! |

Thanks Tammy, I took a look, guess mines not the right one :( |

Alana, where did you get it? Is there another rose the vendor carries that looks like what you have? Also, here are some pics of the buds, leaves, canes and thorns of mine which is grown in shade. Although I am not anywhere close to you, maybe this will help some. Once I had a Julia Child that bloomed bright orange instead of yellow on its first blooms. I agree with Suzie, bloom colors and even petal count can vary with the weather, and first blooms, too, are sometimes not true to form, anyway. That looks like Therese Bugnet to me! I love the fragrance of TB. good luck and I hope you identify your pretty rose! Gean |

Harborrose, I checked and couldn't find one on their site that matched it, so maybe she will turn out to be right. Her foliage and growth habitat look right, so I'll just wait and see! Thanks! Unless maybe Alexandre Girault? |

Here's some pics of mine from this afternoon for comparision. Hollar at me if you want me to send you cuttings, I have tons to spare, and know how disappointing it is to get mislabled roses :) Tammy |

Just chiming in: like Campanula, the GdF buds I've seen have always been in the apricot to tangerine range. The open flowers have been a little fuller petaled/have had a higher petal count. The shapes of your petals look about right and the leaves look about right. However, if the shade of pink coming through my computer screen is accurate, I can't say I've ever seen a GdF quite so pink. I became curious to learn if anyone on the internet had photographed a pinkish GdF, and I found something rather interesting. Roses Fabien Ducher in France carries a Pink GdF which is described as having "all the qualities of GdF but with pink flowers." Does that information make things more or less confusing? Carol |
Carol that actually makes alot of since, because like you said everything looks right except for the pink buds. It was actually very confusing to me :) Thanks for researching that I tried but couldn't find nothing.Appreciate so much everyone. Tammy if you have some rooted of the yellow/ Apricot one I would love some just email me, I;m not good at rooting yet otherwise it wouldn't matter. I'm gonna keep trying though or maybe you can give me some pointers :) maybe I can send some cutting of the pink one if you like, it's pretty big already and growing really fast! I was looking forward to the apricot one so if you have it that would be perfect, Thanks! |
Alana, I don't have any rooted right now, but I'm starting to root some cuttings for someone else, so I'll just do a few extra for you as well :) |
Thanks! I really appreciate that! Let me know if you want some cuttings of my pink one when it's ready! Your so rose awesome! Can't wait until our babies get big and we can do another trade! Do you have any pointers to rooting? I really want to get good with it. I'm gonna keep trying until I get it. Maybe my soil mix is wrong? I thought it was best to root in winter? Or maybe it don't matter if you know what your doing, huh? :) Have you ever grown from seed, I want to try that this winter, if you have any pointers feel free to email me or respond back on here, Thanks again! |
I'm still in the experimenting stage too...but I'm getting MUCH better at it! I've found that rooting in playsand with Dip n Gro works the best for me. I keep my cuttings in clear plastic cups in the shade in one of those zipper greenhouses on my front porch (so if anything, they get a little morning sun). Then when I see roots, I wash away the sand, and repot them into potting mix. :) Tammy |
Thanks I'll try that! I got a little zipper green house to! Is their any certain time of the year that's better? Or it don't seem to matter? Thanks! I'm definitely trying that! |
From what I've been told, right after a bloom has faded is the best time to take a cutting. I usually put about 3 cuttings in each cup of sand, and then one in each cup after I transplant them into soil. In the fall I do another set of cuttings, and I root those the same way, but in a clear rubbermaid storage bin with the top on to keep the warmth and humidity through the winter :) |
- Posted by organic_tosca 9/Sunset 14 (My Page) on Thu, May 30, 13 at 16:33
Alana, I had a rose called 'Mlle. Jeanne Phillipe'. It was supposed to be apricot, but its first couple of blooms were ivory-white with a lovely rose-pink blush on some of the petals, and it was almost single instead of the double it was supposed to be. However, the next time it bloomed, it was just as it was supposed to be, double and apricot. It did tend to get a tinge of the pink at the edges in early spring and in cool weather, though. Perhaps your rose will settle down and be what you had expected - although MJP never had as MUCH pink as your GDF does. |
Thanks organic tosca but she's blooming her head off now and all of them have been the same so far. maybe next flush could change, IDK, wish I did. :) Guess we'll see! |
Tammy, I can't really tell from pictures , but how big are the flowers on her? Just wondering because mine on my not GDF are like maybe 1 inch. |
I'd say theyre about one inch on mine too. A little bigger than the size of a quarter. :) |
Sorry Posted twice! |

Thanks Tammy! |
Altorama, Did your's turn yellow and apricot after it matured some? Thanks! |

Adding to Carol's info on the Fabien Ducher Pink GdF, Vintage Gardens imported the pink sport from Ducher and I have a band plant of it. When it blooms, I'll post photos. When large enough to take cuttings, I'd be happy to share. Judy |
I would love to see pics rosybluemoon. I'll post some of mine when it blooms as well! Mine started turning the right color so I'll be excited to see how she blooms this year! Looking forward to your pics! |
I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet, because this looks like Ghislaine de Feligonde to me. The flowers on mine, and others that I know, are highly variable. It is not at all unusual for flowers to be pinky/apricot, especially in the fall or when weather is cool ... just as it is normal for buds to be orange and flowers to open buttery yellow and fade to cream. |
I'm not I actually like the color :) I Just wanted to see her pics and all , looking forward to see how she looks this year! This is a old thread :) I'm happy to know she changes with the weather! |

As the only team to advance from the Village News coverage area to the state tournament, the L.C. Bird Girls' basketball team earned a first round match-up with tournament favorite Princess Anne at Old Dominion University.
The Central Region runner-ups fought hard the whole way but fell to Princess Anne 50-41. The Skyhawks finished their season at 21-8. Taja Cole, who led the way for Bird most of the season, had 22 points and 12 rebounds in the loss.
Still a young team with good postseason experience, Bird has much to build on for 2013-2014.

Where was it that I finished last week? I feel that I blabbered on about me and my career too much. So this week I want to take up where I left off; not more about my life story, but something about possibly a strange civic passion of mine – sidewalks. Pedestrian mobility engagement that is one of my highest priorities.
The revamped stretch of highway along the front of Chesterfield Meadows Shopping Center, passing the Old Courthouse and the Government Complex and ending just short of the, what I call the new Courthouse, (officially from Greenyard Road to Frith Lane), has no sidewalks. This one seems like a no brainer. The center of our county government, the county seat, where every potential big business is in the evaluation of business properties and ends up on their way to visit the economic development department should be wowed.
That section of highway should not just be a wide section of pavement, but a demonstration of where we are headed as a county. A demonstration of how we value the health of the work force they will eventually hire.
Think about it this way: There are 2500 employees that work for the county. Granted, not all work at the government complex. How and where do they get lunch? Some go to Burger King: many eat at Martin's; some at Tropical Smoothie Sub Shop; Ledo's; Hunan Garden, Wendy's, El Patron, Ichibon, Geno's; and for a mid-morning coffee, Starbuck's and the (gas station) and many more restaurants and shops. How do employees get to those shops? They drive their car for the most part. They're certainly not walking the sidewalk and burning some of that Wendy's number 1 they just consumed. And, where does that brand new sidewalk that CVS build go? Did the county require that or did they do that on their own.
Healthwise, maybe they have taken the marketing step, telling their customers that it is healthy to walk once in a while, offering a means to do so. Come to think of it, the new CVS free standing stores all have sidewalks. And, they lead to nowhere.
On other projects, let's take those just on Iron Bridge Road from Chester to the courthouse: Uppy's corporate headquarters; Grand Oaks Apartments; Iron Mill Townhouses: Magnolia Lakes and Tyler's Retreat. Only Uppy's and Grand Oaks connect. Were these part of the proffer process? And why were they such an important part of the developer's proffers? Does the county's transportation department push developers for sidewalks or are the developers concerned citizens that realize how important they are for the health and safety of citizens?
"Walking is our most basic form of transportation. Every trip we make, even by car, we begin and end as pedestrians," according to Project Universal Access.
Even the ancient Romans, when building roads that had the heavy traffic of carts and horses, built sidewalks to make their pedestrians safer. Wider pedestrian sidewalks were built where pedestrian use was more intense.
What is our cost for sidewalks? According to a study done by Knox County, Tenn., the cost of a typical project on a major thoroughfare is $70 per foot for each side. That means that the cost of the widened Route 10 at Centralia Road would have been a little over $500,000 for one and $1.1 million for both sides of the road.
The Romans thought it important enough to protect their citizens from horses and carts zooming by pedestrians. Think about today when 40,000 cars use a section of highway every day. Just because those who make decisions on such things never walk anywhere doesn't mean the rest of us don't.
I see a number of people and "children" walking in the street where I live when I'm coming and going from work. How many walk on my street when I'm not there to observe?
I see hordes of school kids walking from Thomas Dale annex to the main high school continuously. If there were no sidewalks there, what would be the result? Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't there been at least two children crossing the street on bicycles hit there? Not on the sidewalk, but it is an example of the growth we have experienced and the need for pedestrian ways on all busy roads.
There were at least three people killed crossing the railroad tracks near the proposed new bridge to be built on Jefferson Davis Highway north of Perrymont. If you explored the area, you will also see trails that lead down to the tracks on each side for pedestrians to cross the tracks. I also see some walking along the curb on the pavement of the same bridge because there are no sidewalks.
There will be no sidewalks on that bridge when it is rebuilt. During a public hearing on the proposed bridge someone asked, "Isn't there a state law that requires sidewalks?" The answer?
A defensive no.

Sinclair Lewis
From MN150
Winning Nomination
Main Street, Sinclair Lewis's 1920 breakaway novel, was initially criticized for taking aim at the small-town status quo and its values. Not to mention, its setting of Gopher Prairie is widely said to be a thinly veiled Sauk Centre, Lewis's hometown. Main Street is perhaps one of modern American literature's rarest gems. I say this without hesitation, especially because of the frankness and freshness with which Lewis paints a picture of small-town America's reluctance to accept change, especially coming from outsiders from the big city.
Runner-up Nominations
First American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Born in Sauk Centre. Main Street. Sinclair Lewis not only put Gopher Prairie on the map but the whole Midwestern culture. He writes of the prejudices, poverty and struggles of a country trying to grow up using the phrases of the time. He won both the Pulitzer and Nobel prize for literature. A Sauk Centre native, was the first American author to receive the Nobel prize for Literature. He had written a series of novels, including Main Street, Babbitt, Elmer Gantry, and others, 24 in all. He changed American literature for all time, with his photographic style of description, and his chosen social issue topics.
History(1885-1951) Small-town Minnesota's most subversive native son
It's not often that a novelist's characterizations are so sharp and well defined that new words are added to the dictionary because of them. But Sinclair Lewis was no ordinary novelist—he was a social critic who saw himself as a rebel against the constraints of American institutions and prejudice. Lewis was born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, in 1885. He attended Yale University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1908, and held several jobs with publishing companies and magazines. A prolific writer, he could complete a novel in a month and tried to publish at least one every year. He became famous when Main Street, a satirical account of a small town modeled on Sauk Centre, was published in 1920 and soon became a best seller. It was followed by Babbitt in 1922 and a number of other widely popular novels, including Arrowsmith (1925), which won a Pulitzer Prize that Lewis declined, Elmer Gantry (1927), and Dodsworth (1929). Sinclair Lewis became the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 1930. As the story goes, Lewis answered the telephone the morning the news broke, and heard an excited man with an accent announcing that the prize was his. The caller was a Swedish newspaper correspondent, but Lewis thought it was one of his friends making a crank call. He mocked the caller, who finally hung up and asked an American friend to call Lewis instead. Once the news sunk in, Lewis was overwhelmed. Breathing heavily and somewhat dazed, he called his wife, who thought he was ill and asked him what was wrong. "Dorothy, I've got the Nobel Prize," he shouted. "Oh, have you? How nice for you," answered his skeptical wife. "Well, I have the Order of the Garter!" "Sinclair Lewis's 1920 breakaway novel [Main Street], initially criticized for taking aim at the small-town status quo, is perhaps one of modern American literature's rarest gems. I say this without hesitation, especially because of the frankness and freshness with which Lewis paints a picture of small-town America's reluctance to accept change, especially coming from outsiders from the big city."

I would love to say that I had a love of photography from a very early age however, that would be a small white lie. In fact, when my mother took me to buy a camera for my trip to Europe I remember pronouncing that I wanted something simple with very few buttons that you could just point and shoot with.
Fortunately, my love for travelling and my desire to record my travels meant that I was able to take loads of pictures and learn that there was a bit more to photography than just pointing and shooting.

Palm Springs
Palm Springs, CA, 92262, United States
Locals arrive early to avoid waiting in line for the famous brunch at popular Cheeky's in Palms Springs. The 20-seat restaurant, with an outdoor patio that doubles dining space, serves from a menu that changes weekly. Chef Tara Lazar insists on fresh, seasonal ingredients, preferably local and organic. Great care and enthusiasm go into the food she prepares, which often reflects a Mexican influence from her childhood. Cheeky's takes no shortcuts, does not use mixes, and juices are squeezed by hand. Try an extraordinary persimmon sandwich or five varieties of bacon served as a flight.

Coffee cream arrives in small milk bottles, and the restaurant welcomes dogs. How "cheeky" is that?

A team of young energetic professionals and students are engaged in Spreading Smile in under-privileged senior citizen and children by visiting various old-age / children homes in their free time voluntarily and sharing with them the bright side of life.
A single volunteer adopts a couple of senior citizen / children for providing them emotional support to make them feel happy. This is a movement, where the youngsters are motivated to take care of under-privileged outside their home and share quality time with their parents and grand parents.
The team is lead by S N Bagchi, a noted administrator and motivator, who has been visiting various old-age / children homes for the past 12 years in his free time to share happiness with the inmates.

The change in feeling is immediate. The pavement is choppier, the chill heavier, and the shoulder of the M10 is covered on both sides with cups, bags, and other human detritus. It would be hard to find a discarded cigarette butt in Finland, a country so law-abiding that if you cross against a Don't Walk sign you're obviously a tourist.
We have been warned (repeatedly) to watch out for the omnipresent traffic police, known to harass foreigners and relieve them of hefty fines. They are not, however, particularly successful at thwarting Russia's diesel-spewing army of trucks and Ladas, which are all happy to pass us at virtually every opportunity—around turns, with other vehicles barreling toward them, and in one case even on the dirt shoulder.
After less than an hour of bobbing, weaving, honking, and praying, I have fully assimilated myself into this byzantine blood sport, realizing that if I don't play it myself, it'll take us 10 hours to cover the 155 miles to St. Petersburg. In Finland, the roads are so smooth you could cruise in a car made of porcelain; Russian highways only occasionally have sections of smooth pavement, and for the first time I feel justified in having chosen a Land Rover for the trip. Though not the best car for drafting behind the Mercedeses with blacked-out windows that frequently kick dust in my face, the Land Rover swallows up the shoddy Russian road.
The route is dead straight on this side of the border, as the landscape transitions from thick pine and birch forests to fields that lie fallow. Like a river of blacktop, the M10 forms the main street of town after town of once beautiful, now teetering wooden peasant homes. Along the roadside, women in babushkas—revelation: it's not a myth—sell pickled beets and potatoes, pots of steaming coffee, folk dolls, and, bizarrely, beach towels, which they hang from rickety lean-tos.
Outside St. Petersburg, magnificent old dachas tilt and threaten to collapse. Wires illegally tapped into electric lines run across the road and into shanties. These conditions persist right up to the town border, where apartment buildings begin to appear and line the road until the Old City unveils itself.
Czar Peter the Great's bold experiment has held up surprisingly well. Two years ago, St. Petersburg celebrated its 300th birthday, and President Putin spared no expense to brush the grime off of this architectural marvel. Most of the city's more than 1,000 palaces received fresh coats of (primarily yellow) paint, and the polished golden spires of Peter and Paul's fortress in the Neva River glimmer, even in the gray light that makes you feel as if it were perpetually late afternoon.
By five, we've checked into the Hotel Astoria and are preparing, in honor of the road, to eat like kings at the Grand Hotel Europe's Caviar Bar, a sedate room with flawless food and a lounge singer who has already grown tiresome before we have finished our first plate of beluga—a problem easily resolved by stepping up the consumption of Russian Standard Vodka.
And then we sleep like kings.
If you want to get technical, the King's Road actually ends in St. Petersburg, Peter the Great's "window on Europe" and the seat of power from which succeeding czars ruled over Finland. But since the Russians haven't bothered to get aboard the King's Road Tour Train, I have decided to forge my own modern extension, and push on some 400 miles, to Moscow, with a stopover in Tver, where Catherine the Great used to rest while making the same trip.
Lenin moved the capital back to Moscow to add precious distance from Germany, a tactic that proved prescient. After turning on Stalin, Hitler and his war machine got bogged down in the brutal winter some 19 miles outside of the relocated capital, across from what is today a BP Connect filling station and mini-mart. The Soviets erected a monolith of a memorial there, thrusting up at the gray sky, surrounded by gray walls decorated with the face of a defiant Russian soldier and the dates 1941-1945, known to Russians as the Great Patriotic War.
Past the memorial, a number of old Soviet suburbs line the road. Huge blocks of concrete adorned with story upon story of tiny porches covered in hanging laundry. Beyond those, the road widens. Another BP, a Shell station, then a massive—and massively ugly—sportsplex that appears to have been designed by a drunken set decorator from Lost in Space. Then the road improves, the building density thickens, and Western stores begin to appear on both sides of the road, their names transliterated into Cyrillic.
Finally, ahead, the red spires and brick walls of the Kremlin—more magnificent than I'd imagined them. According to the maps, our destination, the Hotel National, should be here, at the foot of Tverskaya, in the shadow of the Kremlin walls. We have come this far without speaking Russian, and to miss the hotel, in the center of this huge, sprawling mass of foreign energy, bustling with traffic and traffic police, would be, well...but that's beside the point—we miss it. Caught in a swell of taxis and buses, we push left, and I can come up with only one plan. "All right, my friend," I say. "We're going to have to circumnavigate the Kremlin."
Jason laughs. "That has to be the first time anyone's ever said those words."
We circumnavigate well enough until the Kremlin walls lead us to the Moscow River, which we must cross, and then things get sticky. I make a wrong turn, then panic and pull a U-turn. Bad idea.
We've made it all the way to Moscow without being stopped, passing at least 50 checkpoints and numerous speed traps, and now I see blue lights in the rearview mirror. I've already been warned to not sit in the car and wait to be approached. Russian cops see it as a sign of respect if you get out and come to them, so I open the door and hop into the Lada, handing over my paperwork. "My English," he says. "Very bad." "My Russian," I answer back. "Terrible." Stymied and frustrated, he hands back my papers and waves his hand. "Go."
And then I know we are going to make it. Outside the majestic Hotel National, just a few hundred yards from the gates into Red Square, a bellman moves aside a rope and points our truck, filthy from dirty roads and diesel fumes, to a prime spot just feet from the hotel's door.
We planned to hop right back in the Land Rover the following morning and begin the two-day return trip, but as we contemplate the hotel bar's rows of fine vodkas, with the twinkling Kremlin behind us and a meal of caviar and blini ahead of us, the thought of more cops, more whizzing Ladas, more swerving trucks is all too much to bear. Plus, this is Moscow, so long a forbidden fruit...
"You are here for just one night?" the smiling desk clerk asks us. Like so many Russian women, she has the chiseled face of a model.
"How far to the border?" I ask Jason, knowing the answer.
"685 miles or so," he says, catching on.
"We can do it in a day," I say.
I look up at the clerk. "Make that two nights."

Every town has its' colorful cast of characters and Lake Providence is no exception. From thieves to murderers, L.P. has seen it all through the years. Here are just a few of Lake Providence's Infamous. Disclaimer: All criminals...I mean, all persons, are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Jesse Caston
Jesse Caston fits squarely into the murderer (alleged murderer to be politically correct) category of infamous. Jesse James Caston was born and bread in East Carroll Parish and he and his brother, Frank James Caston (get it? Frank and Jesse James), have generally raised hell and terrorized the community ever since. The two have served time in prison on various charges, including murder. But, Jesse joined the ranks of "America's Most Wanted" when he allegedly murdered his wife and her friend April 10, 2000. The story goes, Jesse shot his wife to death in her home and went to the friend's home with the intent of killing his own daughter who was staying there. The daughter hid and when the friend wouldn't tell him where she was, he shot her while she was lying in her own bed. He spared the life of her boyfriend, who stood by traumatized.
Caston then took his show on the road and was hiding from the police when 2 deputies happened upon him that same night. He shot at them at close range but neither was seriously hurt. One of the deputies, Renee Jones, is now our Chief of Police and is doing a very good job. A few days later, Caston "kidnapped" a Lake Providence man and forced him to drive Caston to Texas. After the truck broke down just across the Texas line, Caston reportedly walked away, leaving the man and the funky truck behind. He then proceeded to evade capture for the next eight months. In that time, Caston was placed on the FBI's Most Wanted List (the 459th to be added to the list) and appeared on the television program, "America's Most Wanted."
On the morning of December 18, 2000, 2 bodies were found on the levee south of Lake Providence. The two men, father and son, had been shot to death. It has been determined that Caston had links to the two men and was supposedly in the area at the time of the killings. He has not been officially charged with these murders but he is the number one suspect.
Two days after the discovery of the two bodies, FBI agents, Louisiana State Troopers and the Lake Providence Police and Sheriff's office happened upon Caston at the home of his father in Lake Providence. He was reportedly laying on the couch watching television! Caston brandished a semi-automatic rifle and an hour and a half stand-off ensued. After much negotiation, Caston surrendered without incident and is now being held at the Angola Prison. His home away from home.
It has been 4 years since the murders and Caston has yet to stand trial due to legal appeals and other under-handed-ness. His trial is now set for August of 2004 and will take place in Tallulah, Louisiana.
*Update: Before the selection of Caston's jury, his attorney entered a plea of guilty. He will serve a life sentence in Angola State Prison.
Former Sheriff Dale Rinicker
Greed and power are two qualities that can get humans in trouble rather quickly and that is exactly what happened to former East Carroll Parish Sheriff Dale Rinicker. His abuse of his office for personal financial gain landed him in the pen and in the twisted history of Lake Providence. Below is an excerpt, edited and in some portions paraphrased for this purpose, from court records explaining his crime, it can be found in its entirety http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/98/98-30434-CR0.htm
"In 1990, Dale Rinicker, then Sheriff of East Carroll Parish, asked Wyly (see below), to finance the construction of a private prison in the parish to house state prisoners. Wyly agreed to construct a prison and lease it to the Sheriff's Office. Rinicker testified that Wyly offered him 38% (later reduced to 30%) of the profits of the corporation (ECCS) that Wyly planned to form for purchasing and constructing the facility. The corporation was formed by Wyly in April 1990 with himself as President and his 62 year old legal secretary, Dorothy Morgel, as secretary-treasurer. 35 of the 100 shares of ECCS were issued in her name (5 for her and 30 for Sheriff Rinicker) and the remainder to Wyly, his family members, and a local land-owner and businessman, Jack Hamilton."
"The Sheriff's Office entered into a lease agreement, wherein the Sheriff would pay ECCS (Wyly's corporation in which the Sheriff had hidden interest) 25% of the funds it received from the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections for housing state prisoners."
"In order to conceal the Sheriff's interest in the corporation, Morgel opened a checking account in nearby Oak Grove and deposited the ECCS distribution checks in that account. She would then make out checks to one of Rinicker's friends on behalf of Rinicker. These checks were cashed, by Rinicker or the friend, at a Monroe bank where Rinicker's sister worked."
When the legislative office and the FBI got wind of the scheme and began questioning, everyone lied to cover-up the crime. Finally, it was the friend who began spelling out the correct info to the authorities.
"Wyly, Morgel, ECCS, Rinicker, and Jackson (but not Rinicker's friend), were charged with mail fraud, conspiracy to launder money, and money laundering. The indictment sought forfeiture of: the prison, a certificate of deposit purchased by ECCS, all funds in ECCS' bank account, all funds in Morgel's Oak Grove account, ECCS' assets and propertiey, and approximately $340,000 paid to Rinicker. The charges on Rinicker's sister were dropped.
"Rinicker pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 months imprisonment and a $10,000 fine." He served his time, was moved to a half-way house in West Monroe and eventually made his way back to East Carroll Parish. He is, of course, barred from serving in any type of public office from here on out!
Captan Jack Wyly
Captan Jack Wyly is practically a legend in his own time in the parish of East Carroll. A lawyer, who was known for his suits and hats that men had not worn since the '60s, he was a force to be reckoned with in Lake Providence. His wealth was massive and he had the power and prestige to have his hand into ever aspect of the town's government. Rumors of shady deals and a supposed ability to "beat" the common man out of his money and land did not dampen public opinion about him. Captan Jack finally met his match when he became involved in the Sheriff Rinicker scandal. He spent time in a minimum security prison in Texas and was barred from practicing law. Now in his 80s, he lives with his daughter and her family in Lake Providence, and he is not seen much around town anymore. There are speculations that he is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.
Judge Alwine Ragland
Judge Alwine Mulhearn Smith Ragland had a reputation of being a strict, to-the-letter Judge, who kept a tight reign over her courtroom and the local attorneys on a short leash. It is also said that she had the tendency to make up her mind on a case before hearing the evidence. This resulted in many appeals during her time on the bench and many hard feelings. But, this was a lady who commanded respect and had the accomplishments to back it up.
She was born in 1913 in Monroe, Louisiana. The fifth of seven children, Judge Ragland learned from an early age that hard-work was a necessity, particularly during the Great Depression. Her family was hit hard but it did not stop the judge from graduating high school in 1930 and attending pre-law school at Principia College in St Louis, Missouri. Judge Ragland continued her law degree at Tulane University. She graduated 10th in her class in 1935 and was one of only a hand-full of women to attend college at that time. In 1975, at the age of 62, she graduated from the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada. With the completion of her schooling in 1935, she returned to Madison parish to set up her law practice.
Unfortunately, business was not good. Soon, she found herself working a job with a Vicksburg company as a debts collector. It offered no pay but did get her the attention necessary to build up a client base for her practice. She was soon representing the poor and the black in various legal situations. She married Leroy Smith in 1947 and had 2 children with him. Her son, Leroy Jr., is now a practicing attorney in Madison parish. After Smith's death in 1970, she married Percy Ragland in 1978 and moved to Lake Providence with him. After his death in 1991, Judge Ragland packed up and moved back to Tallulah.
In 1990, at the age of 77, Judge Ragland was declared the oldest sitting Judge in the state of Louisiana. She had been a 6th Judicial District Court Judge for 16 years. In 1990, she lost re-election to a young Felicia Toney Williams. Judge Ragland continued to be involved in the communities of East Carroll and Madison Parishes after her retirement from the bench. Judge Ragland died April 30, 2006, at the age of 92.

Power Color has done a great job at bringing the powerful and expensive ATI Radeon 9800 XT to the market at the most affordable price possible while not substituting for a poor package or overall poor quality product. The amount of games included in the package is incredible and will keep you happy for a long time.
As far as performance goes, the 9800 XT with 256MB is able to beat the 9800 Pro with 128MB in every test - just like we suspected. The margin is not very large but it is enough to count. More over, we will start to notice the 9800 XT take charge in 4 - 6 months once newer and more demanding games such as Half Life II and Doom III are released which will suck up every last bit of performance from the graphics processor - and hopefully bring them to their knees, just like we saw in Quake 3 Arena all those years ago. As this is the case, we think the Radeon 9800 XT is a little ahead of its time but we don't suppose ATI counted on Valve delaying Half Life II from its originally intended September 30 launch date.
As of now it would be almost pointless upgrading to the Radeon 9800 XT over the Radeon 9800 Pro, unless you have the cash to blow. However, if you want an impressive game bundle at the cheapest possible price and are on the market for a high-end graphics card or are upgrading from a graphics card which is a year or more old, the Radeon 9800 XT from Power Color would be a good move to choose as we await intensive games to be released next year.
- Pros
Very impressive game bundle
Good Overclocking
VPU Recovery
More affordable than other 9800 XT cards
- Cons
Probably a little ahead of its time
Rating - 9 out of 10
Find the lowest price on Power Color graphics cards!

With any type of security software, questions will arise regarding the trustworthiness of the system. Consumers are not quick to trust just any system and often assume that there is no such thing as privacy in this day and age.
In the novel 1984, George Orwell's tale of a dystopian future, the stage is set for the idea of a society under constant surveillance.
Written during the beginning of the Cold War when technological advances were occurring at a rapid pace, the post-war generation grappled with the concept that privacy was under assault by technology. A great mistrust of technology ensued that lingers to this day.
Fast-forwarding half a century, after the Wikileaks scandal of last year, Umberto Eco opined that true confidentiality does not exist, claiming that putting any information online is like to putting it out onto the street corner. (Incidentally, the information that was leaked was provided by a whistle-blower—not by a successful hacking attempt.)
Eco's point is similar to what Callpod addresses with our security software—in a world with public, open Wi-Fi networks and wireless telecommunications, Smartphones, laptops and tablets represent opportunities to access the most important information that users need to protect. Hackers, fraudsters and electronic thieves account for billions of dollars in annual loss and damages.
Callpod understands the concerns of consumers over whether or not Keeper® truly keeps their information private. Major issues arose recently with Dropbox's privacy and security safeguards questioned. This also happened to RSA, a world-leader in the banking security space. Now is a good opportunity to explain how the software works for any customers with lingering doubts.
Any information or data that is entered into Keeper is immediately encrypted with a 128-bit AES cipher, an encryption standard that was recognized and adopted by the U.S. Government to be used in the protection of classified data.
Without the master password, the data that exists within Keeper® is absolutely undecipherable. Approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for use as security software, its encryption standards are military-grade.
Subscribers may backup their information to our Cloud Security Vault™. Some consumers might feel an immediate reluctance to store data on any server or in the cloud as a way to revert to the deep-seated generational mistrust of technology, but one thing must be understood insofar as Keeper® is concerned: Callpod personnel do not have access to the user's information. No one but the holder of the master password can decipher the data.
Furthermore, unsuccessful attempts at accessing the program are thwarted by the self-destruct function. Keeper® gives users the chance to type in the correct password 5 times, but on the final try it recognizes that it is experiencing a security attack and self-destructs, wiping out the data that had been stored within.
In a world where true privacy does not seem to exist anymore, Keeper provides consumers with a refuge within which they know their information is secured and most importantly, is theirs and theirs alone.

Case Race
Scores of Apple fans were disappointed Tuesday when the long-awaited iPhone 5 – which was to be thinner and have a wider screen than its predecessor – never materialized. Instead we got the iPhone 4S, which is smarter and faster but looks the same.
The good news, though, is that if you're getting the 4S and want a case to protect it, you don't have to look far. The iPhone 4 cases already on the market will fit the new phone just fine, and there are plenty of very cool ones already on sale. While people on the train won't be able to tell that you got the new phone just by looking at the 4S, you can at least wow them by picking up one of these cool cases.

Five things I don't want to hear about in 2013
As with the (sort of) good, so comes the bad. Here are five things that I don't want to hear a single word about in 2013 but, because the world is an unforgiving place, I will nonetheless read about on a daily basis.
1. Round-the-clock updates about Kim Kardashian's uterus.
I could give a flying fuck about celebrity babies, but this one even more so. I mean, we're talking about a woman whose claim to fame is making a lackluster sex tape with the brother of a washed-up '90s R&B singer. Oh, and she then sued the company that released the tape for $5 million. (Actually, as far as business investments go, that's not a terrible rate of return. But I digress.)
I was so hoping that 2012 would be the last time I'd have to hear about this idiot, her insipid social climbing, and what's going in or coming out of her vaginal canal. Nope; instead today I had to Google the phrase "Kim Kardashian ultrasound".
Thanks for nothing, universe.
2. Round-the-clock updates about Kate Middleton's uterus.
While I have a secret love of the Duchess of Cambridge—she's just so damn classy—I really don't need a play-by-play of any woman's pregnancy, least of all hers. At least Kate and her handlers will hopefully do their best to keep the media at bay during the next several months, while Kardashian will be breathlessly updating us on the thousands of luxury baby onesies she'll be purchasing while Kanye Instagrams her delivery.
3. Anyone claiming there's a War on Men.
There isn't one. Stop trying to make it happen.
(Why yes, I am a bitter, man-hating communist feminazi who just needs a good boning. Did I cover all your comments, gentlemen?)
4. The pathetic state of Vancouver's dating scene.
It feels like every other day I'm reading another impotent screed about how unfriendly, cold, and clique-y Vancouver's dating scene is. Do you know how to fix the problem? Stop acting so damn shitty to each other! PROBLEM SOLVED YOU'RE WELCOME.
5. The continued proliferation of hipster "culture".
Maybe, just maybe, if we ignore them, they will finally crawl back under the rocks from which they came. Wait; were they living under those rocks ironically? I can't even tell anymore.
Just my 2 cents. I enjoyed your post, Miranda.
Global warming, pipelines, tankers, fracking, Any member of the royal family (other than Harry), The NRA, fasting (or any other pissed off about everything) natives, Justin Bieber, Gary Bettman, Tom Cruise, Gregor Robertson, bike lanes, vegans, David Suzuki, the Kielburger brothers, the Dalai Lama, Stephen Harper, James Cameron, Ben Mulroney... ah, the list is endless...
I'm sick of media propaganda, spin, narratives, stories, news speak, obfuscation and attempts to ignore what doesn't jibe with the accepted views of news outlets. Just the facts, please. Just report the actual facts.

Most church leaders who don't have a plan for engaging financial leaders in their church lack one for these two reasons:
1. The belief that engaging financial leaders will make them feel as if all the church cares about is their money or it shows favoritism to certain givers.
2. The lack of confidence to engage financial leaders in a way that encourages them to become significant givers.
However, as churches look to climb out of the tough times caused by the recession, we can no longer exclude anyone—including those with financial means—when it comes to developing a giving ministry. At the same time, confidence is developed when we know the proper techniques to use and the right questions to ask.
Financial leaders are a part of funding your church's vision for the future. Doing your homework on the front end will not only help you feel more confident, but it will also ensure you're maximizing the moments of your meetings.
As you prepare for your conversations with financial leaders, here are some general rules of engagement:
There are financial leaders in your church right now who are waiting for you to connect with them, inspire them and help them see how they can be part of God's plan. If you do these five things, you'll discover what so many other church leaders have already discovered: Financial leaders know they have the ability to significantly impact the trajectory of the organizations and causes they are passionate about.
You can learn more about the mindset of a financial leader, how to identify them and how to fund your church's vision by developing financial leaders in our newest eBook, The Ministry of Giving.
How are you going about engaging the financial leaders in your church? What part do they play in God's plan for your church?

NAB Adds to Government Relations, Legal Teams
Washington - Jan 17, 2008 - The National Association of Broadcasters has added two staffers to its advocacy team. Erin Dozier has joined the legal and regulatory affairs department as associate general counsel, and Myra Dandridge has joined the government relations team as director. Dozier will report to NAB Executive Vice President of Legal and Regulatory Affairs Marsha MacBride, while Dandridge will report to NAB Executive Vice President of Government Relations Laurie Knight.
Dandridge, who joined NAB in January 2007 as director of public affairs for the DTV transition team, will continue to spearhead congressional outreach efforts on DTV-related issues, in addition to other legislative issues affecting broadcasters. Prior to joining the NAB, Dandridge served as communications director for the Congressional Black Caucus, where she was responsible for all media outreach, public affairs activities, educational campaigns, as well as message development and implementation.
Dandridge served as Florida state press secretary for the Kerry-Edwards 2004 presidential campaign and was a Clinton-Gore presidential appointee at the Department of Labor.
Dozier, who joined the NAB earlier this month, previously worked at the Washington law firm of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter and Hampton, where she was one of three senior attorneys to launch a new communications regulatory practice. Prior to that, Dozier spent four years at the Federal Communications Commission, primarily in the Media Bureau, working on a range of issues including media ownership, the DTV transition and content regulation.
Dozier is an adjunct professor at the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law; a member of the board of advisors for the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council (MMTC); and a trustee for the Federal Communications Bar Association (FCBA) Foundation. She is also a member of the American Bar Association (ABA) and American Women in Radio and Television (AWRT).
