According to a report filed by deputy Tim Robinson of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, he responded to an 8th Street address and spoke with Barbara Yarber.
Yarber said sometime during the past few days, someone came onto her property and took items from the front yard as well as gaining entry to her house.
Yarber told the deputy she hasn't lived in the house since the storm damage.
The house was under repair, according to the report.
Missing from inside and outside the house were a Frigidaire freezer, a Craftsman riding mower, a Toro push mower, a propane heater and tanks, a wall clock, hospital beds, a recliner, table and chairs, a pipe cutter, three Craftsman chainsaws and an air compressor.
The report noted loss was estimated at $8,300.
Investigation has been turned over to the Bradley County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division.
Detective Brandon Edwards was notified of the burglary.
- Bradley County officials are also looking into vandalism during which someone apparently used paint stripper to damage a Jeep.
Deputy John Davis responded to a Gardenia Avenue address and spoke with John West.
West said his Jeep was parked at his residence and sometime after 10 p.m. Sunday, someone poured a liquid on the hood, fenders and doors.
The paint had lifted from the surface of the Jeep, according to the report.
A damage estimate was not listed in the report.
- Cleveland detectives are searching for a suspect who reportedly broke into a home located on Adkisson Drive this week and took property.
According to a report filed by officer Chris Allen of the Cleveland Police Department, Craig Bennett reported he left his residence in January and when he returned home during the weekend, he discovered someone had forced their way into his home and taken an iPad.
Serial numbers were obtained and entered into the National Crime Information Center computer database.
The iPad was valued at $900.

Today I got a surprise Sammie when she brought over a friend from the gym that is so fucking hot. Shay is an exotic piece of ass, and the fact that she showed us how to blow fire turned me and Sammie on immediately. So we went upstairs, burned a few candles and pored the hot wax on her beautiful body. Wow, her tits are so perfect with piercing that match her clit. This was a wild one so I had to bring out the toys. Enjoy..

Hog Island Oyster Company
San Francisco, CA, 94111, United States
Since 1983, Hog Island Oyster Company has built a reputation for harvesting oysters from Tomales Bay in adjacent Marin County. This small eatery, located on the north side of the Ferry Building, only serves in-season oysters (and clams), so there may be Sweetwaters, Atlantics, or Kumamotos. Oysters come in sets of 6, 12, or 24, and are prepared steamed, raw, stewed, or baked. Daily specials vary, as well, and may include black cod with roasted red potatoes, asparagus, and Romesco. Snag a seat at the L-shaped raw bar or settle into a table for a view of the ferries and the Bay Bridge.
Insider Tip:
All of the bread is freshly baked at Acme Bread Company, which is also located in the Ferry Building.

There are a few ways we could work together. Depending on what you're looking to accomplish, maybe we can make something happen.
I work with solo practitioners and small law firms to help craft marketing campaigns. Most of these initiatives take the form of website design and search engine optimization, blogging and content creation, and effective use of social networking platforms.
- Content Marketing: Everything from blogging to articles, podcasting, video, whatever makes sense for your practice. I begin the process by working with you to nail down a strategy, identifying your clients, and then educating you and your staff to help with with content creation. I will teach you how to create your own content and set you up with the equipment and technology to make that happen, but I don't currently provide creation services.
- Email Marketing: Newsletters and autoresponders are some of the most effectively tools for bringing prospective clients closer to you so that you can educate and influence their hiring decisions. I will help set up your systems and work with you to ensure that you're getting the maximum possible benefit for your efforts.
- Social Networking: You've heard about Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Maybe you've got accounts on some or all of those platforms, but you're not using them to develop your practice. How can you start using these new tools most effectively to find and serve your clients? How do you get started, and what's the best way for your firm to make an impact that helps build your practice? I've built my own law firm using these tools and can teach you to do the same.
Interested? One-on-one coaching sessions are $250 an hour. Just click the button and pay for as many hours as you'd like. Once your payment goes through, my assistant will give you a call to schedule your time.

My garden is planted and looking great... now I am looking ahead to fall (is that silly?).
I live in zone 9. I know there are a few veggies I can plant (or do a second planting) of in the fall. Can anyone list what veggies those would be for zone 9? And when exactly to plant each veggie? For example, broccoli... lettuce? what else? Just want to know what I can look forward to planting after the tomatoes, summer squash, etc, get dug up. |

I live in Sunol, just a bit south of you. In winter I plant, broccoli, spinnach, chard, carrots, parsley, fava beans, peas, mustard, leeks, garlic, onions, lettuce, cauliflower, bok choi (and other asian brassicas), wheat/rye/barley... Oregano, thyme and rosemary are also happy going in during fall though they're perennials. Anything that's a brassica will grow in winter here, as well as many other things. I've actually got more variety in winter, and water is free then... |

I live in Fremont (actually just about 10 minutes from your promethean) and too am planning for fall. I'm very excited to plant the next round! I'm going to plant some elephant garlic as well as most of what promethean said. |
- Posted by promethean_spark 9b (My Page) on Wed, Apr 29, 09 at 1:48
Problem is that tomatoes and other summer stuff generally survives until november before giving up the ghost. By then it's too late to plant stuff in their place for a fall harvest. Planting in november will still yield in march/april, but Dec/Jan are too cold for even the brassicas to grow very much. I'm planting some determinant tomatoes this summer so I won't feel bad about reclaiming some beds in august/sept. If anyone wants fava beans for next year I'll have plenty of seed to share, I went a little nuts and planted around 1000 of them from last year's harvest. ;) They'll probably be ripe to pick for seed in 2 weeks or so. Just send me a message. Fava beans really like this climate and improve the soil, provide alot of material for compost as well as beans you can eat. I'm planning to try elephant garlic next winter too. I'd like to get shallots to work as well, I tried the year before last but they never came up. Not sure why not. It was just some extra bulbs I picked up at the grocery store - perhaps they were treated with growth inhibitors or something. |
- Posted by cyrus_gardner 8 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 29, 09 at 7:10
Add potatoes to your list. Probably you can plant them around mid August. I also plant all kinds of onion family crops and let them over winter. Especially, garlics. I planted some last August, they overwintered and now are still working on their bulbs. I just pull one up for cooking when needed. Another one, is big radishes like korean and chinese. Even frost down to 18F woud not bother them. Go and pick one when you want all fall and winter long. |
Promethean, there is no problem in underplanting tomatoes. Typically, you can plant lettuce transplants under them, while the tomatoes continue producing. The lettuce will benefit from the partial shade in summer. Come november, cut the tomato vine. Other partial sun crops will make it in the open shade of crops such as okra, eggplant, pole beans and pepper. It is only the "weedblocking" things, such as zucchini and watermelon, that do not let any sun in. |

How do you eat Fava beans? I might like some for the other areas in my yard to prepare for next year. I have SFG this year, but next year I plan to plant some asparagus and artichokes just in the dirt. I think I have a lot of room in my SFG that I think will be done by September. Do peppers and beans last that long around here? |
- Posted by promethean_spark 9b (My Page) on Thu, Apr 30, 09 at 13:32
They do last that long, usually they stop setting new fruit in Oct because it gets too cool, and frost kills the plant in Nov. Before the first killing frost you can take in all the green tomatoes/peppers and let them ripen indoors. It was Jan before all my tomatoes were gone. That's for Sunol at least, I'm 10'F warmer than fremont in the summer and 5'F cooler in winter. A little distance makes a big climate change here in the coastal hills. Dublin climate is very similar to mine. Fava beans are eaten like lima beans, cooked while plump and green in the pod. They have a waxy skin on each bean, but once cooked you can pinch the bean and the meaty part will pop out of the skin (something like edamame). You can also eat the immature pods like green beans. They are extremely easy to grow, I used a hoe to make furrows in some redwood mulch down to the top of the soil and laid lines of pre-soaked seed on the top of the (unammended) soil and covered back up with mulch last november - then never touched them again, no water, nothing. Now I've got corn-rows of plants nearly ready for harvest. I'll try out interplanting winter/summer stuff this fall. Thanks for the tip. 8D |

Thanks for all the info Prom. We are right outside Niles Canyon, so we are about 5* warmer than the rest of Fremont. I'm quite surprised the difference being against the mountain makes. |

How do you eat Fava beans? hollydoll, Fresh Fava ( or LIMA )Beans are very tasty. Much tastier than most beans. But they have to get full. If you shell fresh/green Fava Beans, you will get individual beans. Each individual bean also has a shell that is not edible(too tough) UNLESS THE BEEN IS VERY VERY YOUNG AND SMALL. If you want to saute and add to, say, rice; you cut each bean in half lengthwise. soak them in salt water for about an hour(or less). Now that tough skin will come off. Throw them away(or in your compost).Now each bean is divided into 4 pieces. You do the same with dried ones. But You have to soak them in water to get softer first, then cut them and the rest of process as fresh ones. |

Police: Woman fatally shot at Pa. gun shop
August 22, 2011 - 5:35 AM
YORK SPRINGS, Pa. (AP) — A woman has been shot to death while she and her husband were test-firing weapons outside a central Pennsylvania gun shop.
State police say the 61-year-old woman was shot Sunday afternoon at Miller's Munitions outside York Springs.
WHP-TV reports (http://bit.ly/ptgUQ6) that police believe the woman and her husband were at the rear of the building test-firing weapons when the gun the man was holding went off, striking her in the abdomen. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The shooting remains under investigation.
Investigators say an autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.

Hello folks. My very short story is up and a big thanks to the sffworld folks who took the time to get it up and 'running.' It is under the name of Brian Kay..here is a link below if anyone would like to check it out. I would like it if those who post here would take a few seconds to check it out..it is a very short read and my first attempt at a short story other than fan-fiction. Thanks again. :)

I have bought all sorts of pruning tools and can't seem to find one that will work well cutting bamboo branches off of the culms.
Also, which is the best way to cut down a culm (1-2 inches in diameter?)? I have a hand saw but that is just not working. thanks.teeka |
Follow-Up Postings:
For branches, a high quality hand pruner like Felco. For culms, a lopping pruner, and best if it's a racheting model. |
- Posted by bamboomary 7b Snohomish Wa (My Page) on Sat, Jul 4, 09 at 12:39
If you are trying to limb up a bamboo, I like to use a fine toothed Japanese pull saw. I lightly undercut the branch right where it joins the culm and then snap off the branch from the top. It leaves a really nice clean smooth finish with no stub. Don't undercut too deep, just a little. |
should I get a FELCO lopping pruner but doesn't seem to have the ratchet feature? Other brands have the ratcheting,but they are not the FELCO brand. I saw a FELCO lopper that cuts up to 1.8 inches and there's only that one model that cuts that type of diameter, but not ratcheting. Pls advise.thanks. |
Felco makes high quality tools, and it's worth it to have one of their hand pruners as it will last you many years. While I'm sure their lopping pruners are great, that's a lot of money for a lopper. Here is the inexpensive, non-Felco, racheting model I have that has worked fine for me with bamboo and tree branches. |
Here is a link that might be useful: HF lopper

Hey Gil, have you been to Kubota garden? I saw quite a few different types of bamboo species growing there! |
OMG, all the $$$$ I spent on those HD pruners, what a waste and this one is AMAZING! I even found a left-handed version and I was pruning away today...this is going to change my life and my entire relationship w/ my bamboo:) I also bought the loppers you recommended and I'm waiting to get those and try them out...I desperately need to cut some culms down that are just too close to my neighbor's fence. Thanks so much for bringing me up a notch in terms of garden tools. |
teeka- Glad to hear that. I'm quite frugal, but sometimes you need to spend the money for a quality tool. Now, just learn how to sharpen the blade with a sharpening stone and touch it up every couple of months, and you won't have to replace the cutting blade for a long time. The ratcheting pruners take a little practice to use: at first my wife didn't like them, but, once she got the hang of it, I couldn't get them away from her... |
I *LOVE* them!!!!! OMG, my life is forever changed in the garden. I cut down a dozen culms and chopped them into manageable sizes (and my two lab puppies LOVE to chew on them,too!) and after 2 1/2 yrs of not knowing how I was going to manage my bamboo, I feel like I have control over my garden once again. Of course, ideally I'd get to the culms I didn't want when they are just coming up, but they come up so fast I don't notice them till they are 20' tall and leaning into the neighbor's yard. Thanks again, now I just need to keep them razor sharp..I guess I'll get online to learn how to do that. teeka |

I prefer either a chain saw or a bat'leth. As to the Bamboobill how to cut branches video... Socks with flip flops on the job? I don't know who to alert first: the fashion police or OSHA. |

OMG!!! you have got to get the BLACK & DECKER 18V Electric Cordless Alligator Lopper. This is PERFECT for bamboo. I do not think that there could be any other cutter out there that can even compare! I got mine at Home Depot and LOVE IT!!! |
Perfect for bamboo how? Removing branches (the topic of this thread)? Cutting culms off at ground level? |
An 18 volt reciprocating saw is *very* useful for cutting off culms at ground level. I prefer loppers in general, but sometimes you don't have the proper angle and clearances necessary to spread the handles and close them down. |

Le Vero - a Tokyo-based design company - has just come out with its newest collection: Business is Pleasure. The name really says it all as the inspiration for the collection came from the two designers' love for passion in the work place. The new line includes personalized wallets, passport holders, computer bags, and business card cases. Backed by Kickstarter, every piece of this collection is super chic with a retro flare. I totally know what I'm getting my sister for her birthday now.
Two Royal typewriters were bought and restored in Tokyo and are now used to put a name, initials, or really anything you want on your Le Vero accessory. This adorable man restored the two Royal typewriters that personalize every accessory made by Le Vero:
Mr. Fukunaga!
Take a look at the collection below and bask in its awesomeness with me:
Thanks to Le Vero

Plaza Theatre
42 East 58th Street,
New York,
15 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 141 comments
My name is Julio Torres and I also worked at the Plaza Cinema for Alexandra Jones. When I started working there, Diva was being shown followed by the Pasant due San Souci. I can't remember every movie we had there but I do remember those I worked with. I would like to know of what happened to them. What happen to Ms. Jones, the old janitor who looked like he was 120 years old when I worked there. Tara Leigh Spitzef concession it's along with me. Gary Smith Usher. There was once a beautiful cashier who was from Belize. Mr. Joyner who managed the DWGriffith. Any feed back would be appreciated. I am living in Florida and am a public school teacher.
Thanks, Vinnep. I hadn't seen the obit. Neighbor Eddie Eisner lived next door to the Plaza in the same building where I and my siblings were raised.
I was sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Lawrence, the "Old Philosopher". In the late 1960's Eddie used to come by the Plaza and try out some of his new material on us. He was a kind and gentle man.
Uploaded the small grand opening ad in the photo section for this cinema.
D-B: I was a shareholder and went to the meetings around the corner at 595 Madison and I don't remember Alexandra. I think she came on board after my time.
D-B: It's a shame that you never saw the theatre. It was terrific. The reason that I asked about the basement is because Mr. Evans let me go down there a few times and, with flashlight in hand, I could readily see the old stonework that made up the corrals for the horses. It was amazing. Don Rugoff stored a lot of old Cinema V papers down there.
jay58: I was never in the Plaza. By the time I came to Cinema 5 "The Queen" (aka Alexandra) was reigning there. OMG the stories about her! She claimed Mr. Rugoff gave her a lifetime contract to manage the Plaza. Ass't mgrs had a shelf life of a week, new floor staff about a day. By all accounts she was a terror so I steered clear of the place because I was new and needed my job, although I really wanted to see the inside of it. She lived over near the Beekman somewhere, and she always had the armed Burns guard walk her home at night because she thought one or all of the ass't mgrs or staff members that she fired would kill her on the street. An older woman usher at C I&II, a very nice pleasant lady who never had anything bad to say about anybody, was sent over there to be the assistant. After two days she came back boiling mad, slamming doors, and using some very colorful language to recount her adventure at the Plaza and exactly what she thought of Miss J. – we'd never seen her in such a state. needless to say, she did not return there.
D-B: Indeed, I did know Mr. Shafron. He had a mighty, bony handshake. He used to comp me regularly on the nights he was at I and II because of our relationship at the Plaza. Are you sure that he was Austrian? We used to talk about European politics and I'm taxing my brain trying to remember his heritage. He had been with the Company a very long time. Yes, he did work at Saks. You have a very good memory. So, I sure would like to find out about Robbie, the Plaza's Jamaican porter/handyman. What a lovely guy. I remembered a Plaza anecdote: Arthur marks couldn't stand the Plaza's little office. Literally. It was immediately to the right and was built under some steps or the balcony or something so that there was hardly any headroom. As tall as he was, he had to hunch down and that was hard for him. Did you ever look around with a flashlight in the Plaza basement?
jay58: I worked at Cinema 5/City Cinemas from 84 to 94. Mr. Marks was not there when I was. I went to Loews in 94. Did you know Gene Shafran, an Austrian guy who would mumble to himself in German? He was a manager at the Plaza at one time. When I started at Cinema I-II in 84 he was a part-time mgr there, Tue & Thur evenings. During the day he worked at Saks. He had plenty of stories about the Plaza, where he met and was supposedly tight with John Cassavetes, Gena Rowland and Peter Falk.
There are a million stories from all these theaters – I once worked with a cashier who always said "With all the stories that go through this place I ought to write a book!" I think a book could be written about every theatre, but who would read them other than us?
Hi, dave-bronx. Thank you very, very much for the information about Arthur. The first time we met was when Mr.Evans' health started failing and he was brought to the Plaza to fill in. You're so right about his reputation…he could be a doosey to the employees. He suffered some sort of injury that caused him a permanent limp. Not sure what that was. I remember that (cashier) Polly paid absolutely no attention to him and, given her seniority and her senior years and her oddities and her reputation, he could do nothing about it. Very funny story about his shoes! From time to time, he would visit us upstairs. Yes, very nice guy. Again, thanks so much for the info.
jay58: Arthur Marks was the Managing Director at Loews 84th. You could set your watch to his routine, and one day in the fall of 1995 he failed to show up at the theatre. The police were sent to his apartment and found him, he had passed away from a heart attack. Prior to 84th St. he worked at Loews Ridgefield Park over in Jersey. Prior to that, he owned a sports bar on 3rd Av-34th St. That business failed and he came to Loews. I didn't know he worked for Rugoff, or maybe i did and forgot. And yes he was very tall but was haunched over a little. In his youth he played basketball for Tulane. And huge shoes – once when I came to work evening shift and he had opened the theatre in the morning, I rushed up to the boxoffice and asked the cashier, with an urgent tone, "did Mr. Marks come in today?" She said yes of course. I said "thank God – i was worried – last night when I was going home I saw a tugboat pushing one of his shoes down the East River!" He put up a gruff facade, but once you got to know him he was a nice guy, as long as you did your work, that is. He didn't put up with a lot of nonsense from the people at the home office, either. His demeanor actually scared a number of them.
I saw "My Own Private Idaho" there its opening day. It was just a TAD out of focus (meaning less detectable to the disinterested eye). I went out in the lobby to complain and one of the (young) staffers took a look and saw nothing wrong. So I told him/her to have the projectionist check it anyway, a request met by rolled eyes. It never went into sharp focus UNTIL the end credits began. Guess it was already a platter house. I later found out that the Plaza projectionist was doubling at the Ziegfeld as well.
I recalled seeing the movie "Montenegro" in a Manhattan theatre when it first opened in 1981. I checked the NY Times movie review archive to see what theatre it was,thinking it was The Sutton. It turned out to be The Plaza, but I recall nothing at all about the place.The film was not all that memorable either.
Vinnie, do you remember anyone who lived next door? Do you remember the kid who kept his bike in the alley on the west side of the building and was friendly with Robbie, Mr. Evans and Mr. Marx?
I worked there after graduating high school in 1963 and left after graduating college in 1967.
NY's Channel 13 had abroadcast this weekend of the original Bedazzled with Dudley Moore & Peter Cook. This little gem, not to be confused with the recent re-make, was the quintessential film to premiere at the Plaza.
I may have been the 6th person who saw the Hunger, but not at the Plaza, but at the Kips Bay with a double feature with a Viveca Lindfors film, Night Games. Both were dark, b/w, depressing, Scandinavian films, Per Oscarsson received accolades for his acting in the Hunger. Would certainly not want to sit through either one of these again.
Vinniep: What years did you work at the Plaza? Do you know what happened to Robbie? Arthur Marx? Polly? Mr. Evans?
During the time I worked there Mr. Lopert brought over a foreign language film called "The Hunger". It had to be the most boring film I ever saw. The typical audience consisted of no more than 5 people. I recall Mr. Evans saying that even for Mr. Lopert this film was pretty far out there.
A movie-going experience like no other. Warm and intimate, with dedicated and professional staff. Preferred it to the Sutton, and even the Beekman. Frequented it during the Rugoff-Cinema V era. Only recently did I learn that Ilya Lopert a reknown producer and foreign film importer was an owner preceding Rugoff. I recall an off-handed comment in the original Auntie Mame movie where the characters are returning from a classics matinee at the Plaza. Can't fully describe what a unique experience it was to put the world behind you and be enveloped in the theatre's rarefied atmosphere.
Good day Cptblood & Jay58. I am also an alumni of The Plaza from 1978-80. I do remember Polly (older worman, always made up & Robbie who was the custodian. I'm suprised nobody mentioned Morris, the elderly jewish gent who was the doorman (I always had to lock the door open for him as he couldn't reach the latch). Also Mike Snyder (Asst Mgr), Lori the cashier with the jealous hubby and who could ever forget (as much as one might try), Ave Jones (it's Miss Jones to you..). Also met Mr. Rugoff (he hired me) & found out as a kid, he went to the summer camp I used to work at. It was a beautiful looking theatre. it closed up while I was living in Germany. Came back to find an Asian restaurant in it's place. (Movies I worked: Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe, Who killed the Great Chefs of Europe, Premiere of "The Kids Are Alright," The Innocent, and countless other foreign & first run films like "The Wiz."
Hi, Capt: I grew up next door to the Plaza in the same building that housed the 58th Street Pharmacy. Unfortunately, all of the people that I asked about clearly pre-dated you. They were well-known in the Community and to the Plaza regulars. Polly was a former thespian — about 4 feet tall — who sold tickets long before there was a candy cart, an item that I don't even remember. The only candy in my time was in ancient, mechanical machines in the basement. Polly had quite the style and worked until she was in her 80s. Robbie was the Jamaican custodian, a classy, affable man who had the task, among many, of polishing all the brass on the beautiful front doors. Mr. Evans, the Manager, was a Plaza legend. I don't remember his background but he was always well-dressed and a gentleman. He, too, worked until he was in his 80s. Mr. Marx was a relative newcomer. He was very tall and walked with a marked limp. He replaced Mr. Evans but was ultimately transferred to, I think, the Murray Hill.

I am new to gardening let alone SFG and really need some help. Last year in my NON-SFG I had 6 bush beans going across a 4 foot wide bed, when looking at the SFG method, it is telling me to plant 9 per square foot? Is this going to be too crowded or what? Same thing with the romaine lettuce. This is just a couple of examples.
I really could use some help from folks that have been SFG gardening for some time now. Does this method work better than row planting? Or just make the garden super crowed and hard to take care of? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ha Ha No they do not get to crowded. The thing I have found on spacing is this, How mature do you want your vegetables to be when you harvest them . and just what cultivar are you planting. Some times I wish Mel would have put spacing into a range Like( radish 9-16 per square ) carrots (Nantes 25 spring 16 summer) .. Now do you get the idea. So does it work better than row planting I think so. weeds are surly not a problem. The need to irrigate increases due to the close planting especially as plants mature. In all other matters it seems to be easier to square foot than row crop for me. When you get into the successive inter cropping that's when the square foot way really shines. Curt |

Monroe/Oswego Counties - Many roads are still slick, especially near the lake, after several inches of lake effect snow fell overnight.
Other parts of New York like Oswego County were hammered
More than two feet of snow has caused headaches on the roads - and left many scrambling to dig out their cars.
"I woke up about 3 o'clock, I look out of the window right up there, and all I could see was white!" said Lonnie Newsome of Oswego County.
Gusts of up to 35 miles an hour in some parts of the state could cause more problems during the day Thursday.
Temperatures across the northeast plunged to dangerous lows in the teens and even below zero in some areas.


text: Hi! I don't know if anyone has posted about this on here. I couldn't find anything about it, but has anyone done the cast member chat on the Walt Disney World website? I was searching hotels the other day when a cast member started chatting to me. I find myself going on there about every other day now just to get some Disney magic. Am I pathetic?

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
Sometimes the first Sunday after Labor Day. The kick-off of the church year for many congregations. Some congregations include the Water Communion ritual in this service. This ritual involves congregants who have brought small amounts of water to the service, taken from special places they have been over the summer. Or the water is collected from a rainstorm or is otherwise significant or symbolic in some way. They can pour the water into a large bowl and tell the congregation where it is from and the meaning it has for them.
Themes often used in homecoming include: reunion; re-gathering; re-covenanting as a community of faith; hospitality; returning home to the church community that holds us; hope; looking forward with excitement to church year. The service may be intergenerational in whole or in part.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Big Brother, a Windsor Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Windsor, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Windsor.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Windsor already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Windsor breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Windsor paves the way for another one to be saved.

An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith Willson's family classic follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize - this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall. This award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution. Family entertainment at its best!

Questions About This Project?

On Wednesday evening, without fanfare or explanation, Nigeria's acting president Goodluck Jonathan fired the entire cabinet. The reason is clear: feuding and dysfunctional, he regarded the cabinet as an impediment to his stated aim of wholesale reforms.
For ExxonMobil, Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and the other energy groups who rely on Nigeria for significant chunks of their revenues, the biggest question now is what changes are in store at the petroleum ministry and the national oil company.
The US, which in December imported more crude from Nigeria than anywhere except Canada and Mexico, will be watching closely too.
The labyrinthine creeks of the Niger Delta, under which lie most of Nigeria's oil and gas reserves, confound all but the most skillful navigators.
The same could be said for Abuja. The shimmering federal capital – built with oil money, much to the chagrin of the Delta's benighted inhabitants – is a grid of wide, well-signed avenues. But the corridors of power are another matter. Abuja, generally in a state of ferment , is particularly feverish as Goodluck Jonathan, the acting president, wrestles for control with allies of Umaru Yar'Adua, the ailing head of state.
Oil revenues constitute not only 80 per cent of government income, but also the lubrication for the patronage network that is the foundation of Nigerian politics. In a country of big men and weak institutions, personal relationships are everything. But charting the connections can be as bewildering as canoeing through the delta.
It may be that Jonathan will retain many of the sector's leading men. Rilwanu Lukman, the petroleum minister, has clout as a former Opec secretary general. He is old, and wants the Petroleum Industry Bill – the monumental overhaul of the industry currently before parliament – to crown his career. That it has not been passed years after inception may count against him, as could the lobbying of foreign oil groups who fiercely oppose the tougher terms the bill would impose.
Lukman's number two, minister of state Odein Ajumogobia, is a fast-rising lawyer with a cut-glass British public school accent who has handled the tough negotiations with oil groups over the renewal of leases to some prime blocks. Industry chatter has it that Lukman is less than thrilled by his deputy's increasing sway. Some insiders predict that he will replace his boss in the reshuffle.
But Ajumogobia has enemies too and, unlike Lukman, is not a veteran of the industry. If Lukman were to go – or even if not – plenty of senior oil men are convinced that over at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mohammed Barkindo's days as chief would be numbered.
A close Lukman ally, Barkindo might carry the can for the national oil company's failure to get enough of Nigeria's bountiful gas to power stations so hopeless that most Nigerians get at best a couple of hours of electricity a day.
He could feel aggrieved, given that the responsibility hardly rests on just one person's shoulders. But the top job at the NNPC is a hugely influential position and Jonathan doubtless wants someone who owes his job to him rather than his predecessor, rather than a man who, like Lukman, was appointed by Yar'Adua.
All the while, the company that in theory would be transformed by the new legislation into a Nigerian Petronas remains largely opaque, described by one consultant as "un-auditable".
The frontrunner to take over at the national group is Aminu Babakusa. In charge of marketing, one industry figure describes him as "one of the most influential people in the NNPC".
Importantly in a nation where ethnicity colours every political move, Babakusa is, like Lukman and Barkindo, a son of the predominantly Muslim north. Ajumogobia, like Jonathan, hails from the delta. A mass promotion of southerners at the expense of northerners would cause severe rumblings, even if the south is where all the oil actually is.
Another contender for the minister's chair is Emmanuel Egbogah, Yar'Adua's special advisor on petroleum matters. Egbogah's signature was on the correspondence between the office of the presidency and the representatives of Cnooc, discussing the Chinese state-owned group's audacious offer to buy one-sixth of Nigeria's oil reserves for some $50bn. He is also the brain behind a plan to quell resentment in the delta by diverting 10 per cent of net income from the joint ventures that pump the crude to the communities of the creeks.
Egbogah is generally well-regarded by the industry. By contrast, foreign groups' nightmare would be an augmented role for Tim Okon. The NNPC's strategy chief, he is the most fervent of the nationalists who give vent to a long-held suspicion in Nigeria that country is being fleeced. His vision of the bill would vest as much power as possible in the NNPC, a prospect that terrifies the western energy companies.
The coming days will see furious horse-trading. New names could emerge as compromises are brokered. Whoever emerges at the helm will have a year to chart a course to reform before elections that could see the map redrawn once more.

Warren Buffett take note: Don't get involved in the RV business. It's full of wealthy rednecks and sometimes they like stealing cash directly from the office vending machines.
That's at least what one executive of a Berkshire Hathaway-owned RV company has alleged in a recent lawsuit filed after he was denied the CEO position and fired from the company. The former exec, Brad Mart, said he helped orchestrate the $800 million sale of the RV company, Forest River, in 2005 by simply submitting a two-page summary of the business to the Oracle of Omaha, who "surprisingly" called Mart a few hours later and bought the company shortly after.
"Mart was surprised that Buffett made the decision to purchase the company with virtually no due diligence, including no onsite visit to Forest River," he said in the complaint.
But the real charges come against former Forest River owner and current CEO Peter Liegl, who Mart accuses of taking cash from factory vending machines and depositing it in his personal bank account. If that wasn't enough of a crime, Mart also says Liegl keeps Forest River employees on the payroll even though they had retired and required the company to purchase RV parts and supplies from National Supply, a company wholly-owned by Liegl, at inflated prices, "pouring millions of dollars into Liegl's pockets over a period of years," according to the complaint.
Mart said he talked to Buffett six times in 2008 about the alleged frauds committed by Liegl, but the Berkshire chairman said through an assistant that, "he just can't get involved in issues like this at subsidiaries."
"Mr. Mart did not alert Mr. Buffett to any unethical, fraudulent or illegal activities" at Forest River, a Berkshire Secretary said in an interview with Bloomberg News. "In the course of the investigation, these allegations came to light," Krutter said of the fraud claims. "My investigation did not identify any fraudulent, unethical or illegal activities." the secretary said he's seen "no evidence or indication" that allegations of death threats from Liegl are valid, and that the reasons for Mart's dismissal aren't related to his claims.

Oh well, if some Republican, or Democrat for that matter, redneck sues Buffett, he can always apply to become an "Apprentice" for Donald Trump!
This is standard practice at Berkshire Hathaway. Executives of small, fully-owned subsidiaries inflate earnings all to hell while simultaneously employing unimaginative ways to drain assets from the company (typically through related party transactions). As the internal auditor, E&Y is willfully oblivious to anything (including financial statement fraud) that happens at subsidiaries below a few billion in annual sales (as it's more concerned with the prestige of the client). E&Y absolutely refuses to investigate such issues. For his part, Buffet is totally disinterested in hearing about the unethical or fraudulent activity occurring throughout his company.
In fact, Buffet's quote regarding the "newspaper ethics test" couldn't be more misunderstood. When he implores businessmen to consider how they would feel if their actions were reported on the front page of a newspaper when trying to determine whether such actions are ethical…what he was really driving at was that before partaking in or approving of some shady shit you'd better be damn sure you won't get caught and let it tarnish the company's image. Berkshire Hathaway's stellar reputation is in large part due to an organizational structure that systematically refuses to investigate or even acknowledge what goes on at many of its smallest (and most profitable) companies.
I don't know I'd side with WB if he wasn't balls deep into that Dilly Bar.
you can't spell for shit.
I swear by the power of grayskull that you better not mess the Oracle. -
@2 if you've got serious information you've got a book deal. otherwise shut it crazyhead
No sex, didn't read.
"Rednecks," Zachery? Isn't that a racist slur?
If you look at the dates (October-December 2008) you will probably realize that Buffet had much bigger things to worry about that petty theft at a subsidiary. In the weeks that followed the fall of Lehman Buffett was surveying deal across the markets that would make or lose billions for Berkshire and he probably just didn't have time to concern himself with these issues. Imagine being him and trying to decide between figuring out if an RV executive is stealing a few million here or there or if he should invest in Goldman or buy toxic assets off distressed financial firms.
who spells their name "Zachery?"
@2 – go back to Going Concern and check your motivations!
where did zach lift this article from?
I like this website very much. I'm a follower of your weblog and wanna say thanks for all this interesting stuff on it. Please take a look at my website also??? Thanks!

Has anyone ever used this product? It's supposed to absorb water and then slowly release it back into the soil. How does it compare to water polymers? Any feedback would be appreciated. Marg |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry, no feedback for you on that product. My concern is the cost and the work involved to retrieve the balls from the soil if you were refreshing the pot/container or changing out. Is this for indoor plants or outdoors? I'd read on one forum (cannas, I think) that someone placed a disposable baby diaper on the bottom of his outdoor containers to extend the watering schedule because he was out of town a lot and couldn't water as often as needed. Would that idea help, or is that the same as the polymers you mention? |

Marg, those are the product used in hydroponics aren't they? Were you considering using them for houseplants or your outside pots? Lynn |
I was wondering if they were like the product used in hydroponics or if they could be mixed with the soil like polymers. When I looked at them again, I guess they are similar to the product used in hydroponics. On another note, I just got the Plantstep program installed and am working on entering all my plants on it. Who knows, it may help me get organized! LOL. Marg |

James Holmes: Timeline of CU e-mails in twelve hours after shooting shows confusion, fear
Just before 9 a.m., Jenny-Lynn Ellis, a counselor at the CU-Denver Counseling Center and a key member of the Behavioral Evaluation and Threat Assessment Team, e-mailed colleagues "on the off chance he was a client of ours." It would later be revealed that a psychiatrist who was seeing Holmes reported him to the BETA Team.
Kennedy soon sent an e-mail to faculty and students "to meet at 10 a.m. to discuss James Holmes." She asked that they not post anything on Facebook or Twitter.
E-mails from the media began to pour in after 9 a.m.
At 9:30 a.m., molecular biology professor Lee Niswander sent an e-mail to a colleague wondering if Holmes had been kicked out of the neuroscience program.
By then, the media was reaching out to professors who knew Holmes. One of the first to be inundated with interview requests was associate professor Jason Tregellas, in whose class Holmes had reportedly done a presentation on "MicroRNA Biomarkers."

Here at TeenCamBoy, TBIM, SockBoyZ and ThatBoyTube (just to name a few) we work with some of the most famous, sexiest and outright horny gay twink boys – both on Live Webcams and full Twink XXX porn. While it's true that fame totally ruins the personality of some of them, there are some special boys who don't let it go to their head. These boys are always ready to respond to fans, and offer a genuine, unfiltered glimpse into who they really are – both on and off screen. They aren't afraid to show their true colors. Of course we're also biased to those models who understand and respond well to what we do as bloggers to help promote them because, believe it or not, many of them either don't understand, don't care, or don't think they need any endorsement. We believe that these special models stand out above the rest and will continue to do so throughout their lives, no matter what path they choose to go down. At this time we'd just like to highlight some of the most prolific boys that we've worked with in the past few years, to acknowledge their hard work and great interactions with us and their fans. We'll be doing more of these highlights in the future because we have a few more to add. If there's a model we've overlooked or that you feel should be here, please let us know.
It has been an amazing run for us here on TeenCamBoy.com, since it's inception back in 2009. We've built a great following and enjoyed meeting each and every one of our wonderful members, beautiful models, and porn studio connections. However, in order to direct our focus more precisely with our other website projects, we feel it is time to pass this great keyword domain on to someone who has more time than we do to bring it to the next level. It is a great base for webcam and studio affiliates either starting out or looking to add to their portfolio. TeenCamBoy is a very lucrative, established website, with combined net annual affiliate sales north of the $100,000 mark, giving you far greater earning potential than starting a new domain.
At this time we are just testing the waters to see if there is interest, so if you are interested in taking over the domain, with or without the current website, you can email us at email@example.com to discuss. You can also find the listing at GoDaddy Auctions if you're ready to make an offer.
For our readers – rest assured that we will continue to operate in the same manner until sold and you will continue to find great picture sets, video clips and live teen boy webcams. If we decide not to sell, we will be hiring a new person to maintain operations. Thank you for your time and interest.

By Adrienne Trevathan
Anna has been much on my mind. A few days ago was her official commemoration day, and I had the honor of reading some highlights from her life in a worship service. Since then, her wisdom and strength have been a breath of fresh air for me throughout the week as I think about her struggle with the Methodists.
Anna Howard Shaw was the first woman to be ordained by the Methodist Protestants, a group who separated from the Methodist Episcopal Church in the early nineteenth century. In 1875, The Methodist Episcopal Church refused to ordain Anna on the grounds that she was "inferior." Anna writes about the event:
And when they came to read out the names and all the young men went up to be ordained they read out our names and the Bishop refused them. Then afterwards we went to him and asked what we could do. We said we had been trained for ministry and that we believe the Lord intended us to preach and that the church refused to ordain us: we both had parishes where they were perfectly satisfied with us, except that we could not baptize or marry them, and we had to be ordained to do that; and what were we to do [?] He said we had better get out of the church. I asked what kind of encouragement would he think that was to a young man who had spent years preparing for the ministry to be told to get out of the church! He said he was sorry but that was all he could say. And I said I would not get out: that it was hard enough to get on anyhow and I wouldn't waste my strength trying to fight the Church too, that I was going to be ordained and if they wouldn't ordain me, I'd go where they would.
[Nancy N. Bahmueller, "My Ordination: Anna Howard Shaw," Methodist History 14/2 (January 1976): 126-131. Excerpts.]
At the advice of a male colleague who advocated for women in ministry, Anna went before the Methodist Protestants for ordination. After the interview, the committee of the Boston Conference took two days discussing Anna's character before they finally called her back:
The next day they had me come back and they asked me a whole lot of questions. The first ones they asked were about [Saint] Paul of course. Did I know what Paul said and did I believe it. And I said yes. Then they said what did I [think] about his having said "Wives obey your husbands." So I told them…and they hadn't heard of that. Then I added, but even if he did mean as they said, it didn't apply to me for I had no husband to obey. But they said I might have. I said I might have but if they believed in Paul the only thing for them was to ordain me, for I might have a husband who ordered me to preach and if they would ordain me now I could, whereas if they ordained me and he ordered me not to preach I could stop if I married. Well, of course that made them terribly mad…
Oh, they asked me all sorts of questions of that sort, but I had the best of them, for they were not educated people at all, and of course I was straight from studying the Bible in Hebrew and knew a great deal about it. And then of course I'd taken special pains with that part of the subject and knew all about it.
Finally, Anna was accepted for ordination as a Methodist woman. As she stood for ordination, she was surrounded by a large crowd of people, most fascinated to see a woman ordained, some likely amused that it was happening in the first place:
I nearly died of shame. I was the only one being ordained and when I had to stand up there all alone I thought I should faint. The wife of Mark T., such a tiny little woman she was, just about a head and shoulder shorter than I, saw how I felt…and she came and stood with me and held my hand. I thought it was so nice of her. I've never forgotten it, it was one of the kindest things anyone could do. And she was an Episcopalian, too!
I find many things about her account powerful, not only for me, but potentially for all people who struggle with the Church and its definition of freedom.
First of all, Anna knew her limits. She knew the struggle she would have as a woman, and she chose to find another community. I think it's important to recognize that she didn't just leave her community out of frustration; she left it because she didn't have the strength to fight it. For Anna, being faithful to her call meant using that strength instead to walk through another door and prepare a way for other women. She used the opportunity she had to be faithful. Some LGBT brothers and sisters have found themselves in a similar situation and have been met with the choice of staying in the church or leaving it. While it may be easy to critique them, perhaps we should remind ourselves of how much strength it takes to struggle for basic freedom and rights that the hetero-normative world takes for granted.
Secondly, as we can see from Anna's story, she was a woman who "knew her stuff." Not only did she know it, but it became such a part of her that those around her couldn't deny it. I also love her sense of humor in other sections of her account. Who's to say that the children of God can't toss out a zinger every now and again? I wouldn't say that it's only those fighting for rights, however, that need to speak and teach a new language to the church.
This brings me to my last point, which is that someone was there to hold her hand in her time of need. I can only imagine what it must have felt like to be the first woman ordained, to stand in the spotlight of skeptical men who were calculating future failures. Thank God for the "wife of Mark T." who stood up next to her, gently grabbed her hand and gave her a breath of fresh air. Thank God for everyone who has stood with anyone "Other" in this society and affirmed them. Thank God for the people who have shown me that my sexuality is only one part of the beautiful story of God.
As I think about freedom today in conjunction with Anna's testimony, I am reminded
of what I've heard several people tell me in the last few years: Freedom is not the ability to make a choice. Freedom is the ability for all people to have what God wants and desires for all to have.
I truly believe that God prepares a way for everyone; I guess you could say it's part of my implicit theology. It took me longer than I care to admit to realize this, but I can't turn back. My hope and prayer as an ally is that I can be one of the people who stands up to hold a hand and offer my love and energy.
I am haunted by the conclusion of Anna's story:
So that's how I was ordained. It wasn't very glorious. It was rather like sneaking into the ministry by the back door. But if they won't open the front door to you, what else can you do? Some day they'll open all the front doors and make a proper use of the enthusiasm for service that women have got—not only in ministry but everywhere. But until then we've got to keep climbing in the best ways we can. And there's a good deal of fun to be got out of it if you can keep from being bitter and angry.
Keep climbing, people of God. Keep reaching out for all God wants you to have.

To Please Your Turkey Day Guests, Buy a Wine That's Hard to Pronounce
In the market for a bottle of wine that goes with turkey and stuffing? If you don't know much about varietals or aging, you can always choose one with a tongue twister name. Research shows that not only are people willing to pay more for wines that are difficult to pronounce, but they also prefer the taste of tongue twister wines to simply-named bottles. (The reason: A wine we can't pronounce—even before a couple of glasses—seems rare and unique, so we may think it's worth a premium.)
Want a bigger guarantee that your guests will enjoy their libations? Choose one of these easy-to-find Thanksgiving wines, hand-picked by Real Simple's food department.
