Located in east-central Alabama, Elmore County is the third-fastest growing county in Alabama. Home to some of the most navigable and recreational waterways in the state, it is also scene to some of the most historic events in the Southeast. The county is governed by an elected five-member county commission and includes seven incorporated communities.
· Founding Date: February 1, 1866
· Area: 622 square miles
· Population: 79,303 (2010 Census)
· Major Waterways: Tallapoosa River, Coosa River
· Major Highways: U.S. 231, I-65
· County Seat: Wetumpka
· Largest City: Millbrook
Elmore County was created by an act of the Alabama State Legislature on February 15, 1866, from portions of Coosa, Autauga, and Montgomery counties. It was named for Gen. John Archer Elmore, a veteran of the American Revolution and an early settler of Alabama.
Elmore county is located in what once was the heart of Upper Creek territory. The present-day towns of Wetumpka and Tallassee, located on the banks of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, retain the names of the former Creek towns on those sites. Tuckabatchee, one of the principal towns of the Creek Nation, was also located in Elmore County, near
the town of Tallassee. After the arrival of the French in Mobile in 1702, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, sent an expedition up the Alabama River to what is now southern Elmore County to establish Fort Toulouse, completed in 1717.
Settlers from the Carolinas and Georgia began pouring into present-day Elmore County during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, complicating the already strained relationship between the state and federal governments and the Creeks. In 1812, Shawnee chief Tecumseh led a faction of the Creeks known as the Red Sticks in an uprising that culminated in the defeat of the Creek Nation by Andrew Jackson's troops at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. After the battle, the Creeks were forced to cede their land to the United States in the Treaty of Fort Jackson. Elmore County was home to Alabama's first governor, William Wyatt Bibb, who died shortly after being appointed to office.
After settlers flooded the area, it quickly became a highly successful agriculture and mercantile hub for east-central Alabama. Although no battles were fought in the county during the Civil War, in 1864 Confederate Chief of Ordnance Josiah Gorgas moved the Richmond Carbine Factory from Richmond, Virginia, to the Tallassee Manufacturing Mill along the Tallapoosa River in eastern Elmore County to evade Union troops. The mill was the only Confederate armory not destroyed during the war.
On April 27, 2011, a massive storm, causing numerous powerful tornadoes, struck the southeastern United States. More than 250 people were killed in Alabama, including six people in the community of Eclectic in Elmore County.
Major Cities and Demographics
At the time of the 2010 census, Elmore County recorded a population of 79,303. Of that total, 76.2 percent of respondents
identified themselves as white, 20.0 percent as African American, 2.7 percent Hispanic, 1.4 as two or more races, 0.7 as Asian,
and 0.4 as Native American. The median household income was $52,971, compared with $40,547 for the state as a whole, and
the per capita income was $21,866, compared with $22,732 for the state as a whole. The county seat, Wetumpka, had a population
of 6,528. Other population centers in the county include Millbrook, Eclectic, Coosada, Tallassee, Elmore, and Deatsville.
During the early nineteenth century, present-day Elmore county enjoyed a lively trade among the French, British, and Creek
Indians along the rivers. The town of Wetumpka, located at the confluence of the Coosa, Tallapoosa, and Alabama rivers, became
an important center of agricultural trade. As cotton became the dominant cash crop in Alabama during the antebellum period, farmers began to cart their harvests to Wetumpka's
warehouses, where they were shipped down the Alabama River for sale at Mobile. Because of its location and economic success,
Wetumpka was a leading contender in the contest to become the new state capital in the 1840s but lost out to Montgomery by several votes. The Civil War and Reconstruction devastated the agricultural and shipping economy of Elmore County. During the early twentieth century, the economy of the
county became closely linked to that of Montgomery as residents began to use U.S. highway 231 to commute to work in the Capital
In 1878 the Louisville and Nashville railroad completed a rail line to Elmore County, with a spur line to Prattville. The spur went through Millbrook, which quickly developed into a suburb for those wishing to escape the hectic atmosphere of Montgomery. In 1977, the city of Millbrook became a municipality and quickly developed into the largest city in the county. Prattville, the village developed by industrialist Daniel Pratt, is partially located in Elmore County, and its growth as a retail center over the past few decades also feeds the economy of the county. Development is underway on a casino built on lands owned by the near the city of Wetumpka. The casino is being developed in partnership with Harrah's, the largest casino group in the country.
The workforce in present-day Elmore County is divided among the following occupational categories:
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (16.8 percent)
· Manufacturing (12.6 percent)
· Retail trade (11.3 percent)
· Public administration (10.0 percent)
· Construction (9.4 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (8.8 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (6.9 percent)
· Other services, except public administration (6.7 percent)
· Transportation and warehousing, and utilities (6.4 percent)
· Finance and insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (6.2 percent)
· Wholesale trade (2.6 percent)
· Information (1.4 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (0.9 percent)
The Elmore County school system currently employs 557 teachers who serve more than 10,000 students in 15 schools. In addition,
Elmore County also contains four private schools with enrollment of approximately 1,100 students.
Comprising approximately 622 square miles, Elmore County lies in the east-central area of the state, wholly within the Piedmont physiographic section. It is bounded to the north by Coosa and Tallapoosa counties, to the east by Macon County, to the south by Montgomery County, and to the west by Autauga and Chilton counties.
The Tallapoosa River runs along the eastern edge of the county, where it flows southwest before joining the Coosa south of
Wetumpka. The Tallapoosa's tributaries, Tumkeehatchee and Chubbehatchee creeks, intersect the eastern half of the county.
In 1926, Alabama Power dammed the Tallapoosa to create Lake Martin, which covers the northeastern corner of Elmore County. The Coosa River runs along the northwestern section of the county,
where it flows south of Wetumpka before joining the Alabama River. In 1928, Alabama Power dammed the Coosa River to create Jordan Lake north of Wetumpka. The Wetumpka Crater, estimated to be 83 million years old, is one of the most unique geological features, and the only confirmed meteor crater, in Alabama. U.S. 231, running north-south through the center of the county, is the area's major transportation route.
In addition, I-65 runs through a small portion of the southwest corner near the towns of Millbrook and Prattville. Evans Airport
in Wetumpka is the county's only public airport.
Events and Places of Interest
The waterways of Elmore County are some of the most visited recreational areas in the state. Lake Martin, on the Tallapoosa
River, is one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States and offers fishing, boating, waterskiing, golf, camping,
and swimming. Also located on Lake Martin is Kowaliga, the spot where Hank Williams is rumored to have written his hit song "Kaw-Liga." Jordan Lake on the Coosa River offers excellent fishing for spotted bass,
largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, bluegill, red-ear sunfish, and black and white crappie. Wetumpka and the Coosa River
play host to the Coosa River Challenge, a competition similar to a triathlon that began in 2003 and regularly draws 150 to
200 adventure enthusiasts annually. The race starts at the 8.5-mile trail system of Swayback Bridge Trail and follows the
Coosa River downstream, finishing in downtown Wetumpka. The Swayback Bridge Trail is also home to the annual mountain bike
race Attack on Swayback. Wetumpka is also a haven for white-water sports enthusiasts, attracting paddlers from all over the
country to the rapids around the Devil's Staircase and Moccasin Gap. The city hosts the annual Coosa River Whitewater Festival and was the site of the 2005 U.S. Freestyle Kayaking Nationals. In addition, each year the city of Wetumpka sponsors annual
public tours of the crater in cooperation with local landowners and authorities. The Alabama Nature Center is an education
facility that focuses on outdoor-based, hands-on activities for students, educators, and others interested in learning about
Alabama's natural world. It is open to the general public on the third weekend of every month.

17th June, 1928
My dear Prime Minister,
This morning Arthur Duckham [1] called to have a long preliminary talk about the Business Mission. I was very pleased to learn the way in which he and the other members of the Mission are visualizing their job. To begin with Duckham said that they all expected the ten or twelve weeks which they will spend in Australia to be as busy a period as any that they have spent in their lives. Then he strongly made the point that so far as may be they want to avoid the press and publicity, to cut out functions and to get right down to business. Duckham wants, so far as possible, to meet business men, first class agriculturalists and pastoralists, industrialists, and to get to the kernel of the many aspects of Australian production.
I told him that I felt sure such desires would be closely in harmony with your own ideas as to the Mission. [2]
Duckham told me that he had held one meeting with his colleagues [3] and that they had decided not to receive any official delegations in this country but to see carefully selected individuals. He made it dear that they proposed to do a good deal of work in mastering as much information as possible about Australia and Australian conditions before they leave but that their attitude on arrival will be that of learners.
My feeling is that Duckham and Hugo Hirst will make it certain that the Mission will take a Dynamic rather than a Static view of Australia.
Duckham is at present particularly interested in the possibilities of great improvements in the Morwell brown coal developments. He told me that he believes the Germans have, during the last few months, made further great improvements in the hydrogenation of lignite, to produce light oils. He proposes to collect all the available information on that subject before he leaves.
So far as personality goes, I think Duckham will prove a persona grata to Australians and I have little doubt that you will find him both personally pleasant and distinctly useful.
Yours sincerely,

text: This is just a basic flat lay down brush for eyeshadows. The shape and even color is very similar to the Mac 242, which I have and love. The two are very comparable and any differences are insignificant. The red handle and gold farrel is very attractive but other than that very similar brush. The hair type is different, on the 242 I believe its made of a mix of synthetic fibers or its all synthetic fibers and the S113 is made of natural fibers but I find they they perform similarly.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

In "Love Will Guide Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
This activity invites children to learn kinesthetically (through movement and bodily experience) as they explore what happens to us physically when we focus on gratitude versus displeasure. NOTE: It is intentional to have participants focus first on displeasure, then on gratitude. This allows any negative feelings generated in the first part of the exercise to be replaced with more positive feelings, so participants will end the activity on a positive note.
Gather in a standing circle. Briefly ask participants what they think it means to be grateful or thankful. After they've had a chance to respond, say in your own words,
Being grateful means appreciating things. It means we notice and take pleasure when something or someone gives us a gift, or helps us, or does something we like. When we remember to give thanks and to focus on gratitude, it can change how we feel inside.
Today we will be thinking about the things we are grateful for. But first we will think about the things we aren't grateful for—things we really hate.
Invite participants to close their eyes for a moment and think about the things they really hate. After a moment, explain that when you ring the chime, everyone may talk at once, saying aloud the things that really don't feel grateful for. Invite them to move, while they say those things, in whatever way their body feels like moving when they think about the things they hate. Say:
The only rule for the movements is that you cannot destroy items or hurt other people. When I ring the chime a second time, everyone will freeze.
When you are ready to begin, ring the chime. Do not participate in the activity, but pay close attention to the participants. Watch for signs of distress and monitor children's movements to be sure they are not harmful.
Allow participants to rant for approximately one minute. Then, ring the chime and instruct participants to stand normally in the circle. Process, using questions such as:
Now tell the group they will try something different. Instruct them, this time, to close their eyes and think about things they are grateful for and things they love. Explain that when you ring the chime, participants may say out loud the things they are thankful for, moving their bodies in whatever way it feels like when they think about the things they are grateful for.
Allow a minute, then ring the chime. Bring the group back to a standing circle and debrief the experience using questions such as:
For some participants, loud noise and chaos are very overwhelming and stressful. If you know there is a child in the group for whom this will be the case, adapt this activity by providing more guidelines about how loudly participants can talk and what sorts of movements are acceptable. In addition, you can provide plenty of space between participants while they are moving around. Watch participants closely as they engage in this activity and be prepared to offer extra support to any child that may find it upsetting; for example, you might offer a child a quieter space to sit in for a few minutes. You can also engage the child in a dialogue, affirming their reaction and naming the fact that when we focus on things that we hate it doesn't feel good and it can make us act in ways that are unpleasant and overwhelming for others.
If any participants have mobility issues, have the group do this activity while seated.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I have had care credit for a little over 2 months and I haven't experienced any problems - yet. When I signed up, the lady who talked to me about it said that I didn't have to pay the whole procedure off and that I could pay in installments using carecredit without interest for the first year. Her exact words were, "Don't just pay the minimum payment because you don't want to get hit with the interest." Without further thought, I signed up for it and was approved. Some reviews have stated that all you have to have is a pulse to get approved. I personally do not know the validity of said statement. And to be honest, I didn't even know people had such a problem with it until one day I randomly typed it into google and found so many negative reviews. All of them seemed legit and I was really concerned because people not only hated carecredit but were thinking of filing a lawsuit against GE Money. One claim that bothered me was when a person said that carecredit does constant inquiries of your credit, which lowers your credit score. I was nervous because I had just applied for a Marriott Visa card and thought my credit score wouldn't be good enough because carecredit may have ruined it. Low and behold, I was not approved for the Visa card for the very reason that there had been too many inquiries on my credit. Immediately, I called carecredit to address my concerns and the lady was helpful. She told me that they had not inquired about my credit accept once when I applied for it and then to let the credit bureau know that I had given my payments on time. I wasn't sure if she was telling me the truth so I signed up for freecreditreport.com and so far I haven't received any alerts. Each payment that I've submitted has gone through on time and I haven't had any problems getting hit with late fees or anything. My issues right now with care credit come mainly from the people who are selling it to you. They do not know anything about carecredit and from my last appointment, the company I go to has actually stopped using care credit. So I would have to apply for another card (through CHASE, I believe) to get another procedure. I think that's partly to do with the high rates that care credit imposes and possible customer complaints. The second issue stems from the high interest rate. If you do not pay off your procedure in the time allotted you WILL get slammed with a super high interest rate. Carecredit is also inflexible if you need to talk about paying in a lower installment. They do not give you any more time. They basically just want all of your money. And that's not a company that anyone wants to deal with. The third issue is the customer service. I haven't had an issue with anyone personally, but when you call, your chances of getting put on hold for 15 minutes or more is very high. And sometimes your call does not get answered at all. I do not recommend carecredit to anyone. Personally, I believe if you have an expensive procedure such as dental work or a trip to the veterinary hospital for your pet, I would just make sure you have a low interest credit card handy or even a fixed rate card of like 8%. It might take you a little longer to pay it off but it's better than having to worry about a potential scam.

Celestron introduced the NexStar GPS line of telescopes in 2001. For the first few years the motor control board was not upgradeable and these earlier v1.0 or v2.0 boards had fewer features, more bugs, and made strange noises while slewing or tracking. Celestron offered a free upgrade program for these units for quite a while, but doing an upgrade today requires a purchase of a new motor board from Celestron for a few hundred dollars.
Similarly, these earlier units were shipped with the original hand control firmware, v1.2, which only works with the old motor firmware and also has fewer features and more bugs.
Mike Swanson has an excellent website that gives a great deal of information about and resources for all Celestron telescopes. You can follow this link to see information specific to firmware versions for the NexStar GPS telescopes.
I am now offering a low-cost upgrade service to update v1.0 or v2.0 motor boards to v4.06 and to upgrade v1.2 hand controls to v1.6 or v2.2 as requested.
v4.06 is the latest motor board firmware for the NexStar GPS -- with this upgrade, you will be able to update the motor board yourself using the MCupdate application if Celestron comes out with new firmware updates. (This requires appropriate programming cables.) v4.06 also has a working PEC, and tracking without jumps.
Although v2.2 is the latest non-upgradeable hand control firmware, I recommend v1.6 over v2.2 because it has all the features and fewer bugs. Specifically, v2.2 has a bug where it will fail to detect a GPS link, which can be quite annoying -- this problem is more prevalent with the original GPS units, which is what was shipped with the v1.2 hand control.
Note that original hand control units can not be converted to the newer upgradeable hand controls (at least not without a lot of work), hence I only offer upgrades from v1.2 to v1.6 or v2.2 -- the newly installed version is not upgradeable.
I charge $20 for the upgrade service. This is not a money-making venture and the $20 is intended to cover the return shipping cost, plus a little bit for my time. This fee can be paid in US or Canadian dollars via cash, cheque, or Paypal. If you live very far from me (Ottawa Canada) then shipping cost may be higher and I may ask for more than $20.
I do not offer any waranty for this service. This is partly because of the price and partly because you are responsible for the removal and replacement of the motor board from the fork arm. You have to be very careful to record where the cables go and to ensure that they go back into the correct jacks and in the correct orientation -- if you fail to do that then the board will be damaged. Note that I do test the upgraded boards before I return them and will let you know if I find any problems at that time.
Parcels sent to/from me from outside of Canada appear to take about 1.5 - 2 weeks in each direction. When you send the parcels, I suggest you use regular post and mark them as "used telescope parts" with a $10.00 value for customs if you are outside Canada.
If you are interested in this service, you can email me at andre at astrogeeks dot com to get my full address. If you are upgrading a hand control unit, please let me know which version you would like installed. Paypal payments can be made to the same address.
Mike Swanson includes some useful resources on his website for determining what version of firmware you have and how to remove/replace the NexStar GPS motor board. You can find this info at this link.

Feeling stressed? Need some help to regain balance in your life?
Following the success of "Instant Calm", Paul Wilson has produced a book of advice and inspiration that aims to help readers quickly reach a state of calm. His words of guidance are distinct, with one suggestion per page, so the reader can open the book at any point and find a proven and easy way to achieve calm.
Call it psychobabble, refuse to take any advice from a tiny book with a picture of a cloud on every page, but if you are like the rest of us you might find something here that will greatly improve your day. Today I read, 'Use a soft voice, have you ever noticed a calm person with a loud voice?' That's quite true, and when I stopped shouting at my laptop it seemed to realize that I was more calm and began to behave properly. There are two ways of looking at the fact that this is a mega bestseller, and my way of looking at it is to say that it's full of things we all want to hear. Review by Maeve Binchy, author of 'Tara Road', 'The Glass Lake' and 'Circle of Friends'. (Kirkus UK)

About LasikLASIK (Laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure that can benefit patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reducing dependence on eyeglasses and contact lenses. LASIK is performed with an excimer laser, which uses a cool ultraviolet laser beam to precisely remove ("ablate") very tiny bits of tissue from the surface of the cornea (the transparent part of the eye in front) in order to reshape it. Nearsightedness or myopia refers to the condition when you can see near objects clearly but distant objects are blurred without glasses. Minus powered glasses or contact lenses are used to correct myopia. Hypermetropia or farsightedness refers to the condition where you require plus powered glasses or contact lenses to see distant and near objects clearly. The best candidate for LASIK is an individual above 18 years who desires to be less dependent on glasses or contact lenses and whose power of glasses has not changed for minimum 6 months.
During LASIK the eye surgeon uses a mechanized blade called microkeratome to create a thin surface flap of the cornea. This exposes the underlying tissues (stromal bed) to which the surgeon applies the Excimer laser beam to reshape the cornea changing its power. Once the laser ablation is completed, the surgeon gently replaces the corneal surface flap.
+ Go to Top Before the procedure, a few tests are conducted to evaluate for the patient's fitness for Laser procedure. These may involve 1-2 visits to the LASIK centre over 2-3 days. The evaluation process may take a couple of hours and also involve dilatation of eyes with eye drops. Dilatation of eyes result in inability to focus for near objects and increased sensitivity to light which last for 3-4 hours. Also:
+ Go to Top
The LASIK procedure last only 20 - 30 minutes and the laser delivery itself takes less than a minute. You can return to home an hour after the surgery and return to work after one to three days. The procedure is typically performed under topical (eye drop) anesthesia. During the surgery you will asked to lie down on the operating table and focus on a light above. The corneal flap is made and the Laser is done. The same procedure is then repeated in the second eye. The vision is expected to be blurry immediately after your LASIK surgery. It improves significantly next morning and continues to improve over the next few weeks.
+ Go to Top
The postoperative schedule of visits are at 1 day, 1 week , 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and "Its a key question in anybody's mind who wants to undergo LASIK. It is a relatively safe procedure with very low chances of complications. LASIK been around for around 20 years and millions of people have undergone this procedure with good results. The procedure has been proven to be safe, if performed by an experienced surgeon. The patients need to be carefully screened before surgery to exclude patients who have more than normal chances of developing complications. Most of the complications are minor and include over or under correction, temporary development of red spots over the eye, transient dry eyes, decreased contrast sensitivity and glare. Serious complications like infections which can cause serious loss of vision are extremely rare in good LASIK centers where the procedures are performed in a proper operation theatre like environment." This is a new innovation in LASIK surgery which allows the procedure to be customized to each particular patient. While routine LASIK corrects the refractive error in the form of spherical and cylindrical power, wavefront LASIK also attempts to correct finer irregularities in the eye which may also contribute to poor vision but may not be amenable to correction by spectacles only. Correction of these finer irregularities means that the quality of vision might be better than routine LASIK with reduced symptoms of glare, haloes, ghost images and improved contrast sensitivity.
PRK or Surface Ablation
PRK or Photorefractive keratectomy is the original Excimer laser procedure introduced before LASIK in the 1980s. The only difference in the surgical procedure involves the flap creation in LASIK which is not done in PRK. The Excimer laser beam is applied on the surface of cornea without making a flap.
+ Go to Top There are distinct advantages of PRK over LASIK which makes it the preferred technique in some patients.
Advantages of Surface Ablation / PRK:
The patients who can benefit from Surface Ablation/PRK include those with:
Advanced Surface Ablation (LASEK/epiLASIK)
The term refers to newer versions of Surface Ablation and includes LASEK and epiLASIK. These are a cross between LASIK and PRK and attempt to combine the advantages of both. These involve raising a flap much thinner than that in LASIK. Though considered advancement over PRK, the results are not very much superior to it and visual recovery is still slower compared to LASIK.

Comments about Shun Shun Classics Paring Knife, 4 in Blade, D Shaped PakkaWood Handle:
This is my 2nd Shun knife and I absolutely love it. I love to cook, but I hate chopping and cutting things, until now. Now I go out of my way to use these knives because they are such a pleasure to use. I am already working on how to ask my husband for another one for our anniversary. Maybe if I promise to let him use it! ;-) Although they claim that it is dishwasher safe, I woud never put these knives in the dishwasher!

Pinball games are one of those genres that you feel a bit loathed to spend money on. Generally they don't offer that much gameplay or storyline and you get over them rather quickly. When this game was first announced I was skeptical and assumed Nintendo had yet again decided to tarnish one of its most famous franchises to get a quick buck but how wrong I was. Metroid Prime Pinball is one of the best games on the DS and the fact it comes with the rumble pack, required for some future games, is just a bonus.
For those who don't know the storyline behind Metroid, it tells the story of a young bounty hunter named Samus, traveling the galaxy riding the world of space pirates and metroids, her one true enemy. The storyline of the pinball game (yes this game actually does have a story) somewhat follows this and encourages you to keep playing. The storyline unfolds as you perform tasks on the various boards. There are no cut scenes however which is disappointing.
As you would expect, the game plays much like any pinball game; you basically have a number of paddles and have to keep the ball from falling below. However Metroid Pinball does this in a way which keeps you interested and the developers have really worked hard on providing a compelling game experience. For the most part they have succeeded in doing so. To give you an example of a typical game, you generally play for around ten to twenty minutes on a board gathering artifacts before taking on a boss and moving to another table. This is where the storyline comes in as the bosses and boards are taken directly from the famous Metroid game's.
Where Metroid Pinball falls down is as you would expect - the longevity. It is definitely a game for travel rather than home play. It provides one of the best travel games on the system due to the fact switching off at any point is not going to lose you too much game progression, other than a new high score of course. However this appears to be made up by the heavy use of the Metroid universe in the game and the number of missions on offer. On each table there is an area where you can hit the ball and a mission will be triggered. Once triggered the game turns into more a Space Invaders style game rather than pinball as with some Samus will become combat ready, spin out of her ball and start firing away. This is a very cool part of the game and it's nice to see the developers wanted to cover Aran from all her gameplay past.
There are five boards in the game overall which may not seem like much but each has a depth and complexity to a level you don't usually find in these games. There is, as mentioned, a number of game modes to trigger and this extends the longevity. The visuals of the game also enhance the gameplay. The boards are split across the two screens allowing you to always see the paddles and plan further hits rather than the scrolling style we've come to expect with games of this type. Samus is reproduced well in both ball and human form
Metroid Prime Pinball is one of the surprises for the DS and continues to show why, in some quarters, the DS is seen as superior to the PSP. High quality gaming, perfect for traveling and the rumble pack for future games - you really can't go wrong with this one if you're a fan of bouncing balls.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
In "Windows and Mirrors," a Tapestry of Faith program
The Mirror question for this session is "What do I understand about my place in racial/ethnic diversity in my world?" The Window question is "What do I understand about my world's diversity?"
First ask the participants what kind of people live in the community: Are there people who speak different languages? People who sometimes wear special, cultural clothing? People with different skin colors? People who eat different foods? While many of these are indicators of culture—as opposed to what we typically think of as racial or ethnic diversity—these questions are a way to circle around "race" and ethnicity before zeroing in on the presence of people in your community who are Native American/Indigenous, African American, Latin American, Asian American, Arab American and/or immigrants from other countries.
Lead the children to look at the community where your congregation meets, through images in the local media. The objective is not to conduct a media critique, but to elicit observations and build awareness. Ask children, "Who do you see in the images? Yet, who actually lives/works in this community?" and "What are the people doing in the pictures? What does that say about people who belong to the same racial/ethnic group in our community?" Share with the participants whatever facts you have about populations represented in your community (percentages of community population, neighborhood location, country of origin, and so on). Ask participants why they think the local media do not have many (or any) images of these groups.
Finally, ask "How true do you think the impression is that we get from our local media? What could be done differently in our newspaper/magazine to make the pictures look more like our real community?"
Next, invite children to look at national media samples. Encourage them to compare the mainstream media with examples you have brought of magazines/media owned by minorities. Ask participants to note differences and similarities. Of particular images, you may like to ask:
Listen to what participants have to say and make notes on newsprint. Of course, you should correct any overtly racist remarks. At the same time, remember these are youngsters who reflect the perspectives they have learned from families, friends and schools as well as media. Keep discussion focused on exploring what we know and what we do not know about racial/ethnic groups in our community or the nation and how media images help or do not help us learn more.
Conclude this activity by asking the participants how we can learn more about the racial/ethnic groups in our community. Ask what they think could be done so the media are more true and fair. Record their responses on newsprint. Say:
We can all be social justice, anti-racism allies. We can let the publishers and reporters and newscasters know the problems we saw in the media images here today.
Make a commitment to convey some of the children's observations or suggestions to the correct person at a local newspaper, television station or other media outlet. Be sure to follow up and tell the children when you have done so and let them know if you receive any response.
If the group will do the Faith in Action activity, Congregational Audit, tell them they can come up with more ways to be allies later.
Avoid making any child feel self-conscious, especially if they are a racial or ethnic minority in the group. If the group has only one Asian Pacific Islander child, focus on representation of another minority group in your community. If a child asks, "Why aren't there any images of (my people)?" you can respond, "For some reason, I could not find any images. That isn't very realistic, is it? How can we all make sure that in the future more of (your people) are in the media?"

Structural Fund Programmes of the EU 2007–2013
The EU 2007–2013 Structural Funds programmes are designed to reinforce the attractiveness of the Member States and their regions and cities; promote innovation, entrepreneurship, employment and the knowledge-based economy; develop regional economies and create new and better jobs.
During the 2007–2013 programming period, Finland will deliver the objectives of Regional Competitiveness and Employment, and European Territorial Cooperation.
The Regional Competitiveness and Employment objective highlights the need to focus on research, innovation, accessibility and the creation of jobs. Investment in human capital is of major importance in adjusting to economic and structural change.
The European Territorial Cooperation objective and the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) programme aim to reinforce integration in border regions and in wider areas of cross-border cooperation, and to promote the creation and strengthening of inter-region and inter-city networks. During the 2007–2013 programming period, Finland will participate in nine European Territorial Cooperation programmes and three ENPI programmes.
The Structural Funds programmes are closely linked to the national programmes, particularly in the policy sectors of employment, entrepreneurship, innovation and energy. Creating broad-based efficiencies and synergies in development efforts is sought by aligning and coordinating Structural Fund measures and national measures.
The EU support provides additional funding for Finland's national development efforts. During the 2007–2013 period, Finland will receive approximately 1.7 billion euros. In addition, the EU programmes will incorporate around 2.01 billion euros of national public funding (central government 75%, municipalities 25%), and an estimated 2.3 billion euros of private funding. The benefit drawn from the funds will be greater than their total sum, thanks to new models of operation and excellence created by the funded projects.
The 2007–2013 National Strategic Reference Framework
Finland's National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) sets out the objectives and focus areas for the delivery of funds for development projects. The NSRF and the ERDF operational programmes for 2007–2013 were adopted by the European Commission in September 2007.
The NSRF is implemented with the help of operational programmes. These set out measures in line with the NSRF focus areas, centring on those measures which offer the best support to national and regional development trends.
The Finnish
NSRF is designed to strengthen national and regional competitiveness,
employment and well-being. The Structural Funds programmes will advocate
measures which respond to increasing national and international competition,
anticipate and react flexibly to changes in the world economy, create
attractive business, skills, working and living environments, and narrow
development disparities between areas. The NSRF takes account of regional
characteristics, allocating measures in particular to the East and North of
Finland, sparsely populated areas, and the challenging areas in the South and
West of Finland. In cross-border cooperation, Finland's priorities focus on the
Community's external borders (Finland/Russia), the northern regions and
partnerships around the Baltic region.

RNA is at the center of all steps of gene expression. Cells can be defined by their transcriptomes, not by their genomes. We are interested in discovering many regulatory elements that are part of the RNA regulon and in identifying their interacting partners and their targets. To achieve this goal we adapted the classical SELEX procedure to be used in combination with genome sequences and deep sequencing. Genomic systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) allows the isolation of protein binding RNAs independently of computational predictions and expression conditions. We...

In his home in Calera, the oldest-living Detroit Tiger sits at his office desk, surrounded by mementos of his past. At nearly ninety five years old today, he is also the oldest living pitcher to have thrown a Major League no-hitter. His office walls are adorned with photographs signed by his friends, some of the best and brightest of their time, and a fan-made plaque commemorating his own achievements. Even a bobble head made in his likeness sits perched on a shelf above his head. These keepsakes help the memories stay alive and well in the mind of Virgil Trucks.
He sets to work opening each package that has already arrived for Virgil "Fire" Trucks this week. Few of the letters come from fans who ever got a chance to watch him play; yet they adore his legacy nonetheless. He fulfills each request for an autographed card from his own stash in the drawer. "When I answer the mail, I've got a little fire truck that I stamp," he says smiling, holding up the rubber stamp. "The kids really like that." When someone sends a ball, Virgil readies his ballpoint pens. He carefully signs Virgil Trucks in blue, leaving enough space between to write "Fire" in red. He is happy to oblige. His daughter Carolyn Beckwith believes it's his feeling of responsibility to the fans that keeps him going. "He has always adored his fans," she says. "When I was little, I would help him sort through his fan mail," her eyes lighting up with admiration for her father as she recalls those days of her youth. "He always made it a point to reply to every single one."
In Virgil's day, baseball meant much more than it means today, to fans and players alike. He notes one of his main reasons for his waning interest in watching Major League Baseball: today's superstars don't take enough time out for the fans. He also feels that a deep camaraderie between teammates that existed when he played, has been lost in the modern era. "The ballplayers of our time stayed in touch with one another much more than they do today," he claims. Virgil looks longingly back to those golden days of baseball, when it truly was the great American pastime. When almost every town had a ball club and every boy had a hero, Virgil Trucks remembers it all.
Virgil Oliver Trucks was born in Birmingham in 1917, when talents like Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb thrilled spectators on MLB diamonds. During the Great Depression, baseball became more widely broadcast into homes, reaching more people than ever before through radio, and the period produced more Hall of Famers than any other in history. Young boys grew up idolizing history's greatest ballplayers while their fathers played sandlot ball for company teams. For many, the game was more than just sport. It worked its way into people's daily routines and became an indistinguishable part of the American way of life.
The Legacy Begins
Virgil summons tales from his past quickly, his mind still sharp as ever, and he tells his stories with ease. He has surely told them a thousand times, yet each retelling brings the recollections rushing back, and he seems to enjoy the trip down memory lane. Virgil's deeply rooted love of the game took hold when he was just a boy. Raised in a family with nine boys, he practically grew up on a baseball team. He remembers playing ball with his father and siblings out in the yard. "My dad played sandlot ball here in Birmingham when I was a kid." Virgil remembers the time from his childhood fondly. Young Virgil, only seven or eight years old at the time, would walk to the nearby ball field just to catch a glimpse of his dad, the pitcher. "He'd see me and chase me home," he says. But Virgil kept coming back, hiding behind the hedges just close enough to see but not be seen. "He didn't know I was out there," he says. Virgil recounts how he loved to stuff paper in the toes of his father's much-too-large cleats and walk around the house feeling like a big-time ballplayer. "Of course I took the paper out, but he still knew that I was putting those shoes on."
Virgil's father's love of baseball was only overshadowed by his love for his family. At one point, Virgil recalls his dad having to make the choice between a higher-paying career at TCI and professional baseball. With 13 children, he gave up on the ball dream to support his family instead. It seems Virgil never forgot his father's sacrifice and when it came time, he took the opportunity for the both of them; although, he says he never felt any pressure to do so. "If anything, he would have discouraged me from playing baseball if I didn't love the game," he states.
But he did love the game and Virgil began to play baseball every chance he got—with his brothers, at the sandlot, and later for different teams in the Birmingham City League. He was quick on his feet, so he often played infield or outfield positions. He says he was a pretty good hitter too, but not much of a pitcher back then. Today, however, pitching is what he's known for.
Moving on Up
It was 1937 when Virgil signed his first contract to play for Detroit, but it was 1941 before he stood on the mound as a Tiger. During those four years in between, he took every chance he could to begin making a name for himself as a pitcher, playing semi-pro ball around the state. "My first year in the minor leagues was my greatest. I won twenty six and lost six (games)," he recalls. Virgil struck out 418 batters in that 1938 season, which is still the American Baseball record for most strikeouts in a season. During his five years in the minor leagues, Virgil added four no-hitters to his tremendous stats. Virgil quickly earned a reputation as a formidable opponent on the mound. Each batter that marched into the box was a new battle in Virgil's war against the opposing team. He'd glare with piercing eyes as he firmed his grip on the ball. Everything about his demeanor told the batter "you don't mess with Virgil Trucks." If a batter crowded home plate, he'd sling a blazing inside fastball as a warning to back off. That plate was his territory and he was never afraid to let a batter know it.
One evening, a sports writer for the Birmingham News went to Andalusia to check out the talented Trucks. "I was clocked at 105 miles an hour," he says, and "I struck out about 18 guys that night. He gave me the nickname of 'Fire' because I could fire the ball and my last name being Trucks, it fit right in." From that day on, Virgil was known to his fans as "Fire Trucks". And his career was on fire, excited by his love of the game. A rash decision out of inexperience nearly got Virgil in trouble when he signed with the Andalusia minor league team, while still under contract with Detroit. After weeks of anxiety, Virgil confessed his mistake. He learned that Detroit had pigeon-holed his contract because they didn't have an open spot on the roster and he belonged solely to Andalusia after all. He remembers the time well: "On opening day, Detroit sent the scout that had signed me before. They told him if he didn't get me back from Andalusia he wouldn't have a job." In the days before players had any rights to speak of, teams bought and sold their talent at will. "They sold me back to Detroit for $10,000," he notes, adding, "I didn't get any of that money." The following season, Virgil was off to fulfill his commitment to play ball in Detroit. "My first contract salary was for $400 a month," he remembers, "and that was just for baseball season. The bat boy makes that much now."
Birmingham's Major League Star
As a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers from 1941 until 1952, Virgil "Fire" Trucks saw a whole lot of action, both on the field and off. He pitched two shutouts in his rookie season and faced arguably the best hitter in baseball history in one Ted Williams. His career seemed to be off to a roaring start; but 1941 was not the best year for the game, as baseball began to lose players to the draft with World War II heating up. After Pearl Harbor, many more enlisted and willfully traded their dugouts for trenches. Baseball suffered the loss of superstar talents like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, among many others and it began to affect the level of play. After finishing out the 1943 season with 16 wins, Virgil realized it was time to step up and join the fight himself. He knew it was simply a matter of time before his number was called, so he joined the U.S. Navy in early 1944. As luck would have it, Virgil was assigned to the Great Lakes Naval Station, which had a pretty good ball club of its own. It wasn't the Major Leagues, but he got to play some ball. "Even though people say those could have been my best years, I don't regret joining the Navy," Virgil states. He received his honorable discharge in the fall of 1945 and returned to Detroit just in time to pitch a World Series Game 2 victory, helping the Tigers clinch the title that year.
In 1949, Virgil made the cut for the American League All-Star team, leading the league in both strikeouts (153) and shutouts (6) that season. He was on top of the world…until he was forced to face the frightening reality that athletes dread most: injury. His injured arm kept him out of the game for the 1950 season and it didn't look good for future seasons either. Yet in 1951, the tenacious pitcher defied the doctors and made his comeback. It was the very next season that Virgil "Fire" Trucks cemented his place in baseball history. Although Virgil only recorded a disappointing five wins in 1952, two of those were no-hitters. To date, only four other pitchers have matched the feat of throwing two no-hitters in a single season: Johnny Vander Meer, Allie Reynolds, Roy Halladay, and Nolan Ryan.
After joining the record books, Virgil was traded away from the Tigers, although his career in the MLB continued. He led the American League in shutouts (5) for the second time in 1954. Virgil "Fire" Trucks made his final appearance on the mound for the New York Yankees in 1958, but was left off the World Series roster that year. Although his playing career had ended by the time he was 40 years old, Virgil didn't leave the game entirely until retiring as a pitching coach in 1974.
In the 1980s, "Fire Trucks" was inducted into both the Michigan and Alabama Sports Halls of Fame. While he has still not been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, his character and integrity make him a hall of famer in the hearts of many nonetheless. He showed the world of baseball that a man could be a ruthless, even mean, competitor on the field without ever losing his humility and humanity off of it. "Dad's a gentleman," says Carolyn. "He always has been."

Meet congressional, legislative candidates at forum
October 9, 2012
Hear from the candidates for offices in Olympia and Washington, D.C., at a candidate forum cosponsored by The Issaquah Press, the American Association of University Women and the League of Women Voters.
The lineup for the Oct. 18 forum includes candidates for the state House of Representatives and state Senate, plus a candidate to represent Issaquah in Congress. The forum includes candidates in contested and uncontested races.
The event is not a debate. Candidates offer opening statements to the audience and then answer a series of questions from the moderator, Publisher Debbie Berto.
House candidates in 41st Legislative District focus on education, economy
October 9, 2012
The candidates in the 41st Legislative District race for a state House of Representatives seat cast the contest as a choice between experience in business or experience in government.
Voters elected the incumbent, Renton Democrat Marcie Maxwell, in 2008 and again in 2010. Republican Tim Eaves, a political newcomer and a longtime Issaquah resident, decided to challenge Maxwell days before the candidate-filing period closed in May.
Both candidates said education is the top priority among the 41st District electorate, and Maxwell and Eaves often field questions about education policy as they canvass the district.
Eaves, who owns a small business in Lynnwood, said he sees a link between education and the economy.
Local legislative candidates join chambers' forum
October 2, 2012
Voters can hear from candidates for the state House of Representatives and Senate on Oct. 9 at a forum organized by the Issaquah and Sammamish chambers of commerce.
The lineup includes the contenders for a 5th Legislative District House seat — Republican Chad Magendanz and Democrat David Spring — and the Senate seat — Democrat Mark Mullet and Republican Brad Toft.
The candidates in the 41st Legislative District, state Rep. Marcie Maxwell, D-Renton, and Issaquah Republican Tim Eaves — plus state Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, and Mercer Island Democrat Maureen Judge — also plan to attend.
State Rep. Jay Rodne, R-North Bend, the uncontested candidate for the other House seat in the district, is also expected to attend.
The forum is from 3:30-5 p.m. at Blakely Hall, 2550 N.E. Park Drive. Organizers plan to focus on business and economic issues.
Under Initiative 1240, local charter school is unlikely
September 25, 2012
On Nov. 6, people across the state will cast their vote whether to allow charter schools in Washington, and locals stand on both sides of the argument.
Supporters say the schools could pursue innovative educational techniques, free from most state regulation and without unionized teachers.
Opponents say charter schools have insufficient oversight and would drain money from traditional public schools.
"We have great schools, we have great teachers," said Jodi Mull, an Issaquah High School parent who said she had no problem gathering signatures to get Initiative 1240 on the ballot. "Maybe it's not going to help me in my community, but it will help others."
How did Issaquah vote?
September 18, 2012
Data from the Aug. 7 primary shows how Issaquah voters decided — and offers clues to how the local electorate might vote in the November general election.
Voters endorse property tax measure, incumbent candidates
August 14, 2012
King County voters endorsed a $200 million property tax measure to build a juvenile justice facility to replace the aging Youth Services Center, a juvenile detention facility in Seattle.
The property tax measure, Proposition 1, appeared on a crowded primary ballot alongside federal, judicial, legislative and statewide contests.
Voters endorse property tax measure, incumbent candidates
August 7, 2012
NEW — 8:40 p.m. Aug. 7, 2012
King County voters endorsed a $200 million property tax measure to build a juvenile justice facility, as King County Elections released initial results Tuesday night.
Officials asked voters to fund a replacement for the aging Youth Services Center, a juvenile detention facility in Seattle.
The measure appeared on a crowded primary ballot alongside federal, judicial, legislative and statewide contests. Voters in Issaquah and throughout Washington returned ballots in recent days, as the calendar inched closer to the summer primary — and the Tuesday deadline to postmark or return ballots.
The electorate chose the top two candidates, regardless of party affiliation, in the all-mail primary election. The top vote recipients then advance to an all-mail general election Nov. 6.
Candidates receive boost from Municipal League of King County
July 10, 2012
Issaquah candidates for the Legislature received top marks from the Municipal League of King County, as the nonpartisan organization ranked candidates a little more than a month before the Aug. 7 primary.
The league ranks candidates through a rigorous process during each election cycle. The ratings provide a tool for voters — plus fodder for candidates' campaign mailers and websites.
Evaluators scrutinize candidate records, check references, review candidate questionnaires and interview the electoral hopefuls. The league rates candidates on a set of criteria: involvement, character, effectiveness and knowledge.
Issaquah candidates receive boost in Municipal League rankings
July 2, 2012
NEW — 1 p.m. July 2, 2012
Issaquah candidates for the Legislature received top marks from the Municipal League of King County, as the nonpartisan organization ranked candidates a little more than a month before the Aug. 7 primary.
In the 5th Legislative District, state Senate candidate Mark Mullet and state House of Representatives candidate Chad Magendanz impressed Muni League evaluators.
Mullet, a Democrat and Issaquah City Council member, earned a very good rating from the group. The league ranked Mullet's GOP opponent, Snoqualmie businessman Brad Toft, as good.
Magendanz, a Republican and Issaquah School Board member, received a coveted outstanding rating from the Muni League.
State Rep. Marcie Maxwell garners education honor
May 29, 2012
State Rep. Marcie Maxwell received the highest honor from the Washington Education Association — a Friend of Education award — for efforts to address critical issues facing public education and improve students' lives.
Maxwell, a former Renton School Board member and a Renton Democrat, is a longtime advocate for improving the public education system in the Evergreen State. In the state House of Representatives, she led efforts to pass education funding reform bills.
Maxwell represents the 41st Legislative District — parts of Issaquah, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Newcastle, Renton and Sammamish.
In the House, she serves in a legislative leadership role as the deputy majority leader for education and opportunity, and as co-chairwoman of the Quality Education Council.
Maxwell faces a challenge from Republican Tim Eaves on the November ballot.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"There's nothing more satisfying and delicious than these tasty, quick-cooking, beef burgers served with a creamy mushroom gravy."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (10.75 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
My husband really enjoyed this. I used a really lean ground beef and also added a clove of minced garlic, served with mashed potatoes...it's very comforting!
Followed the recipe to a T ... and the burgers came out so mushy and tasteless. I ate 2 bites
27 Ratings
A very nice and easy patty. I simmered it for an extra 10 minutes and served it over whole wheat pasta. I will definitely be adding it to my recipe box. Thanks for the recipe.
yummy, easy comfort food. I made mine even easier when I found pre-formed turkey burger patties on sale. The pre-formed patties, one can of soup, a bit of water, a can of mushrooms, and a splash of worcestershire and dinner was ready in less than 20 minutes. (I served with rice and steamed veggies)
very good except I didnt make it as burgers. I added black pepper, onion powder instead of a real onion & added some milk & more water then served as a sauce for pasta. its good even when its cold
These are delicious. very filling but a savory meal. good on or off a bun!
These were very YUMMY....followed the recipe exactly...tripled the recipe, due to three big eaters in the house and they ate them all!!!!!....very moist!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Great recipe. My husband loved this. I only had Golden Mushroom soup so that is what I used. I substituted minced dried onion for the fresh (2 Tbl worth). This really needed a lot more gravy though and it barely covered the burger patties. I will definitely make this again with the Golden Mushroom soup and double the sauce part. I left out the extra mushrooms since the soup had plenty.

After a short battle with cancer, hemangiosarcoma to be exact, my husband and I are putting our dog, Bo, down on Tuesday. The tumor, which was removed only 3 weeks ago, has grown back and is starting to bleed from the old stitches site. I have been terribly upset all day. I know everyone here has lost a human, but none the less, it hurts so bad. He is the "favorite" of my 2 dogs. I rescued him after he was thrown out ot a truck in someone's yard. Drove over 4 hours (which was only half way) to get him. That was 4 1/2 years ago. I know he was an old hunting dog, and I know we have given him the best years of his life, but still I am sad. Just wanted to express my feelings, I haven't been able to stop crying all day. SOmetimes I think the anticipation is worse than the actual "putting to sleep". I know how bad this hurts, I can't even imagine if it was one of my children, my husband or my parents. Thanks for listening.

Follow-Up Postings:
Laney *HUGS* Knowing you are doing the right thing and making the decision to make sure Bo doesn't suffer any more doesn't make it any easier. We had to put down our 14 year old Terrier cross just five days after my Dad had died - she had a stroke and although the vet could have saved her she would never walk again and would be in pain - she was already on medication for arthritis and some days seemed hard for her so we regretfully said goodbye and it hurt a lot. And yes the loss is as traumatic as it is to lose a human, we make these animals part of our families and love them dearly. Nothing I say can ease the pain you feel but this is the last act of kindness you can give Bo and it's an act of great love. My thoughts are with you. |

Relish these days while you can still pamper and pet your dear doggie. You gave him a wonderful life; he's very lucky to have become your dog. We lost our Sheltie two years ago. |

We had a dog named Bo, once. He was like family and we missed him terribly when he had to put down. My husband couldn't bear to take him; he went to the vet's and paid the bill and then our son took the dog. Excerpts from Jimmy Stewart's poem "Beau." He never came to me when I would call |

We also had a family dog named, "Bo". I'm so sorry that you have to put your Bo to sleep. I'm sorry for your pain. Bo was so fortunate to have you has his owner. If it hadn't been for you, he may not have lived these last four years. He will always be in your heart, just as our loved ones always will be. Lu |
Thank you all for your kind words. It really does help to know there are caring people here. I keep telling myself, that as Lu said, he probably would not have survived this long if not for us. He has had numerous health problems in the last 1 1/2 years - another small tumor removed from his penis, several teeth removed and his left eye removed in June. Yes, he is really a pitiful site now. I just remember how beautiful a dog he was before. And how beautiful a dog he is inside!! He is truely the sweetest dog I have ever owned. After being worked so hard for years, by the time we got him, all he really wanted was a warm bed, food and an abundance of chewies. He never like toys or balls or really running around with our other dog. I think he just wanted love. He sure got that with us. He will be missed. I am spoiling him in his last couple of days - no more hard dog food. Right now I have a crock pot of round steak cooking for his meals tomorrow! |
You have my sympathy. I've been close to animals my whole life, and losing one never gets easier. This past year was a hard one for my pets and those who love them. Several cats died of old age, and on July 4 we lost our sweet 14-year-old collie shepherd, Caroline. In the spring our youngest dog was attacked by a wild animal, apparently a bear, and fatally injured. The thread about little Turpie is linked below. What has helped me most is exactly what you said: We give them so many more years of life than they would otherwise have had. All my pets were either adopted from shelters or, like your dog, found. Your love has been everything to him, and that won't go away. Susan |

Laney - You are doing the last, hardest, part of taking care of an animal ... making sure they don't suffer. It means taking the emotional pain onto yourself to spare them the physical pain. It's never easy, so go ahead and cry all you want. |
I lost my Cinnamon to hemangiosarcoma; I know what its like and I feel for you to the depths of my heart. You have done everything else you could, now you do the hardest, most painful, most loving thing of all. Peace. |

Laneym, I hope everything went smoothly for you yesterday. Here's a poem I ran across which you might like. It's message is heartfelt and true. Best wishes.... |

Dark Void isn't the kind of game you should bring round for tea with vicar, and that's not just because it stars a hero who smashes human skulls for larks. According to Dark Void's storyline, the true nature of the gods is quite removed from the sugar-coated version used to keep church donation boxes rattling.
The gods we've worshipped for millennia, Dark Void tells us, were in fact an evil Alien Race who, in turn, were the minions for a powerful nebulous ancient force. Millions of years ago, this race - who would come to be known as 'The Watchers' - came to our planet and created the human race (hey, we said it was a powerful force). We came to see them as gods and willingly enslaved ourselves to them - unwittingly aiding their dark purposes.
At some point in history, a group of humans - who came to call themselves 'The... Adapts' - developed super powers and were able to banish their rulers to an alternate dimension. (We're sure there was more to it than that, but that's the version of events Capcom are releasing for now). Ever since, the gods have impotently watched their usurpers - but soon, these gods will return, and in a big way...
The religious subtext of Dark Void's plot sounds controversial enough to whip up a tornado in middle America - so it's fortunate then that anyone who plays it will be too busy shooting gods in the face to ask any questions. While the plot might sound like a supply teacher's RE lesson, the gameplay is a veritable breadbasket of blammo. Dark Void's as-yet unidentified hero isn't afraid to kick some holy arse, and he's not particularly choosy about the way he does it.
He's equally adept at meeting his makers strolling around on foot or hovering about the place in a futuristic bi-plane (of all things). Airtight's previous (the excellent Crimson Skies) means it's the latter sectors which will garner the lion's share of attention (and they seem to retain the ferocious dogfighting that was Crimson Skies' trademark) but here's a thought to get you in the mood for some third-person godsmackery: think Capcom has the market cornered in epic boss fights? We've only seen our hero fighting humanoid minions, but just imagine what their take on a god might be...
A developer with excellent credentials married to a publisher renowned for their quality control. All things being equal, this'll be the this-gen Capcom shooter that Lost Planet couldn't quite be.
