Not sure where to post this... it is garden-related... :-)
We're looking for an outdoor fire pit for a corner of our backyard, to sit and relax around a fire with friends and family. Having NO experience with these, I'm wondering what type to look for, what to avoid, good brands, etc. We plan to get chairs to put around it, unless we can find a good set at a good price. We're willing to pay a little extra for quality. Thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry, Jen. I have no experience either. Just one thing to consider. We have been thinking about getting one too, and when we do, it will probably be a propane-burning one as opposed to wood burning. Reason being air quality. On spare the air days, you could be prevented from using the wood burning version. I also like that the propane ones can be turned on and off when you want it. A friend has one and it's really nice. And you can roast all the smores and dogs you want over the flames just like wood. |
I vote for propane too, although I haven't had experience with a fire pit. I have a wood burning chiminea and one of those tall propane heaters like they use at restaurants, and although the fire is "homey", I more often opt to use the heater. It really warms the air, I can use it on no-burn days, the smoke of the fire can be annoying, and there's no muss or fuss. You simply turn it on and off. Definitely something to consider. wanda |

Ours is natural gas, built in. We used it once! LOL! I guess we'd rather sit in the jacuzzi!! It puts out a big flame, and it's windy here, so better safe than sorry! Good luck finding the perfect answer! Suzi |
Thank you so much for your very helpful comments. This is why I research everything before buying, LOL. Never thought about wood vs. propane. We don't have "no burn" days here, but the smoke is something to think about anyway. |

An initial draft of a solar value methodology was presented by the Minnesota Department of Commerce and Clean Power Research on Nov. 19 at a workshop at the Science Museum of Minnesota in Saint Paul. A summary of the draft was presented and questions were taken from the crowd of about 80. The initial Draft Value of Solar Methodology (pdf) is posted online. Comments on the draft methodology are due by Dec. 10 and may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. The comments will inform the final draft of the Value of Solar Tariff methodology that the Department must submit to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) by Jan. 31, 2014.
Minnesota legislation passed in 2013 allows investor-owned utilities to apply to the PUC for a value of solar tariff as an alternative to net metering. Commerce is required to submit a methodology that includes the value of energy and its delivery, generation capacity, transmission capacity, transmission and distribution line losses, and environmental value. A credit to the solar generator will represent the present value of the future revenue streams of these components. More information is available on the Minnesota Value of Solar Tariff Methodology webpage.

Alfred Hitchcock's "The Wrong Man" was a film he enjoyed doing, experimenting with a narrative genre he had never attempted before. His narration in the prologue marks the only time he ever spoke in any of his movies. The film, starring Henry Fonda and Vera Miles, premiered in New York City on Dec. 22 1956.
Fonda played a nightclub musician and family man accused of an armed robbery he did not commit. We watch him being humiliated in minute detail by the process of justice that is supposed to protect him.
In 1956 the American motion picture industry was in financial straits. Warner Bros., competing with television, filmed the movie on location in Queens andManhattan, shooting in black and white with a newsreel quality to the footage.
Several sites were considered in the Bronx and Brooklyn, but Hitchcock selected 40-24 78 St. in Elmhurst, near the Jackson Heights border, to be Fonda's home. The house was built in 1920 and owned by Harold Greenberg, who leased it out to Warner Bros. and stayed with relatives during the shooting. The famous home was sold to one Enrique Martinez in the early 1960s. Public records show it has been owned by Phairoda Sawetpibul since 2005.
The movie's on-set technical advisor on how the New York Police Department works was Retired NYPD Sgt. George Groves (1901-1990), who resided on Booth Street in Rego Park.
The city has always been a favorite of Hollywood producers and directors. As they would put it, "there is a flavor and feel that cannot be reproduced on any artificial movie set anywhere."

My fiance and I are going to WDW in sept/oct to celebrate our engagement. It will be our first trip alone (neither of our parents). This will be his first stay ever at corando springs and my first since 1999. I know that the resort has undergone refurb and would like to know if anyone who has stayed there recently has info on what I can expect to find different. Im also wondering if the gratuity in the food court is covered under the dining plan.

Congrats on the engagement. Last year, my wife and I stayed at Coronado Springs. Even though it was the first time we are staying there, we decided to stay there this year as well. We really like the pool and the room was clean. It was a bit far for us to walk to the room after a long day at the park if we got off at the front of the resort, but not bad if we stayed on the bus to the bus stop closest to our room.
When we ate at the Pepper Market under the dining plan and we still left a tip for our waiter. They did bus the dishes for us and get us our drinks. We considered it just like eating at a buffet here in LV, $1 a person. One time, we did get great service and I did give a bit extra for it.
You can check out allears.net for pictures or check my trip report. There is a link on each day for pics. If I remember correctly, check out day 1 & 2 for pictures of the resort.
Have a magical trip in September!

All of the rooms are getting either queen beds or kings. The ones getting queen beds have them now, but some that are switching to kinds might still have the full beds. The entire refurb of the rooms is supposed to be done by October this year, so you should be getting a refub'ed room! They're GORGEOUS! I didn't see the new pictures on All Ears, but I might have been looking at the wrong spot.
They have wood doors that slide to section off the bathroom area.
To me, the rooms themselves look more like a deluxe room than a moderate. I'm staying there at the beginning of August, I can't wait!!

This is our favorite resort. Can't wait to see the renovations this September. We're taking some newbies too. I hope I don't over do how much I like this place.
When you wish upon a star.....
Adults are only kids grown up, anyway. WD
...That's the real trouble with the world. Too many people grow up. WD
"For those who get it, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, no explanation will do."
Check out my CSR website for the most to date info and photos. The rehab has moved onto rancho 7b. Eight buildings are complete. The total renovation should be complete by October.
Yes, the 10% gratuity is covered by the DDP.
Rancho 7B is about half way done. Rancho 7A is up next.
Rancho 7B should be back up in a few days. Rancho 7A is also now out for rehab.
Rancho 7b is open!
Ranchos 7A is done and open again. Casitas 2 is down now for rehab and will be all month. So, as things stand, all of the Cabanas are done and all of the Ranchos are done. Casitas 4 and 5 are complete; once they finish Casitas 2, they will only have the first three floors of Casitas 1 and 3 to finish. Looks to me as if they are on schedule and will be done by October 09 as predicted.
According to a CM from CSR, they will no longer use the resort specific mugs. They have begun to use the new WDW mugs.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 A man from the family of Levi took a woman also descended from Levi as his wife. | 1 Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, |
2 When she conceived and had a son, upon seeing what a fine child he was, she hid him for three months. | 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. |
3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket, coated it with clay and tar, put the child in it and placed it among the reeds on the riverbank. | 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. |
4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. | 4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. |
5 The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river while her maids-in-attendance walked along the riverside. Spotting the basket among the reeds, she sent her slave-girl to get it. | 5 Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. |
6 She opened it and looked inside, and there in front of her was a crying baby boy! Moved with pity, she said, "This must be one of the Hebrews'children." | 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. "This is one of the Hebrew babies," she said. |
7 At this point, his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Would you like me to go and find you one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?" | 7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?" |
8 Pharaoh's daughter answered, "Yes, go." So the girl went and called the baby's own mother. | 8 "Yes, go," she answered. And the girl went and got the baby's mother. |
9 Pharaoh's daughter told her, "Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will pay you for doing it." So the woman took the child and nursed it. | 9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you." So the woman took the baby and nursed him. |
10 Then, when the child had grown some, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter; and she began to raise him as her son. She called him Moshe [pull out], explaining, "Because I pulled him out of the water." | 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, "I drew him out of the water." |
11 One day, when Moshe was a grown man, he went out to visit his kinsmen; and he watched them struggling at forced labor. He saw an Egyptian strike a Hebrew, one of his kinsmen. | 11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. |
12 He looked this way and that; and when he saw that no one was around, he killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand. | 12 Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. |
13 The next day, he went out and saw two Hebrew men fighting with each other. To the one in the wrong he said, "Why are you hitting your companion?" | 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, "Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?" |
14 He retorted, "Who appointed you ruler and judge over us? Do you intend to kill me the way you killed the Egyptian?" Moshe became frightened. "Clearly," he thought, "the matter has become known." | 14 The man said, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and thought, "What I did must have become known." |
15 When Pharaoh heard of it, he tried to have Moshe put to death. But Moshe fled from Pharaoh to live in the land of Midyan. One day, as he was sitting by a well, | 15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well. |
16 the seven daughters of the priest of Midyan came to draw water. They had filled the troughs to water their father's sheep, | 16 Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father's flock. |
17 when the shepherds came and tried to drive them away. But Moshe got up and defended them; then he watered their sheep. | 17 Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock. |
18 When they came to Re'u'el their father, he said, "How come you're back so soon today?" | 18 When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, "Why have you returned so early today?" |
19 They answered, "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds; more than that, he drew water for us and watered the sheep." | 19 They answered, "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock." |
20 He asked his daughters, "Where is he? Why did you leave the man there? Invite him to have something to eat." | 20 "And where is he?" he asked his daughters. "Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat." |
21 Moshe was glad to stay on with the man, and he gave Moshe his daughter Tzipporah in marriage. | 21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage. |
22 She gave birth to a son, and he named him Gershom [foreigner there], for he said, "I have been a foreigner in a foreign land." | 22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, "I have become an alien in a foreign land." |
23 Sometime during those many years the king of Egypt died, but the people of Isra'el still groaned under the yoke of slavery, and they cried out, and their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. | 23 During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. |
24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya'akov. | 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. |
25 God saw the people of Isra'el, and God acknowledged them. | 25 So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them. |

Sit down, guys. I need to tell you something important. We might be coming to an end of an era. Sure, it's one that's kind of been over for a few years now, but still might be completely, 100 percent, done-and-done over by the time everything shakes out. Naturally, it's happening in Portland, where careers go to die.
I don't know how to say it, but Adam Morrison could be officially retired by the end of the month. From CSNNW.com:
After being out of the league the last two years, Morrison, 28, told CSNNW.com that if he didn't make the Trail Blazers' regular season roster, he has plans to end his professional playing career and start a new one.
"I'm going to finish school and start coaching (If he didn't make the Trail Blazers roster)…I did the Europe thing and it just wasn't for me," Morrison told CSNNW.com. "Not saying the (Europe) culture or anything like that, (or) the people, it just wasn't for me. So, yeah, if it doesn't work out, I'm willing to look myself in the mirror and say, 'I gave it a honest shot' and turn the page. Do something else."
Can you imagine a world where Adam Morrison lurking on the fringes of the NBA doesn't exist? Where we don't have annual Adam Morrison updates? Where we don't get to see pictures of him looking like a different bass guitarist two times a year? It's scary to think about that reality. I imagine it'll be something like the majority of "I Am Legend," but we'll just have to wait and see.
While the natural inclination might be to feel bad for Morrison because he'll be done with a career he dreamed about as a little kid at age 28, don't. He actually seems pretty OK with the possibility.
"It's funny, people act like just because it didn't work out, my life is just, horrible. You know what I mean?," Morrison said with a chuckle. "It's not that bad. Ok, it didn't go well, but it's not like I'm destitute, and broke, and homeless. There's a lot of people who have had worst things happen than not making it in a certain career.
"I'm a father, I enjoy other activities. Life's alright."
Let's get the zings out of the way first. Yeah, he's not homeless, geez — he just looks homeless. And also: Well at least he enjoys other activities. Felt good. Moving on.
Now that we're done with that, this is a pretty solid way to deal with the end of your career, especially when you're kind of the first guy who completely busted out of the league during the internet age. Like, there have been other busts in history, but you can easily track Morrison's progression from dominating college to crying during his last NCAA game to being drafted by Michael Jordan to being immediately criticized for being drafted too high to blowing out his knee to becoming a punchline during two Lakers titles to playing overseas and showing up on various summer league teams. He's the league's first wholly modern bust and that's why he's talking about his retirement before he's even retired. Even Kwame Brown and Michael Olowokandi never had to deal with that.
It's a very weird situation and it's impossible to know how well he's handling it because he's the first one to ever do it. Sure seems like he's got the right mindset though, kind of just saying he tried his best and it turned out he wasn't up to the task. That has to be incredibly tough when you're 28 and spent the first 21 years of your life being the best player on the court.
Of course, if we've learned anything from basketball and rap, it's that premature retirements never stick. Maybe Adam Morrison will get cut and maybe he will retire, but that doesn't always mean it's the end, unless he's Barry Sanders. Still, this might be the end of the Adam Morrison era, so let's enjoy it while we can.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I just ordered a "Tomuri" and 2 "Vincent" plants and am planning on pots at first as they will be small and then going more permanant if they survive for a while I know they grow quickly in the right condidtions, but before I go and build an arbor or trellis system, does ayone have experience with them in Arizona, I looked up the best varieties for my area and that is what I ordered. I can shade them, but am concerned that even the ambient temperature in my area may be to much, in the summer reaching upwards of 110 or even more in the glory of it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd think to have any hope in your heat you'd need at least a 50% shade cloth overheat and on the west. The best shade cloth I've seen is aluminet. It's expensive and not the most durable but is good at heat reduction. Kiwi isn't the most heat tolerant fruit by any means. Also not tolerant of much wind. |

Thanks, fruitnut. I know from what I have read that it could be quite a stretch, but I am going to try because the plants are going to be here soon. Do you know how much wind is too much I have a light breeze that blows through regularly but, where I plan to put them is in the southwest corner of my yard that is protected by a brick wall, this helps with the afternoon sun coming in from the west as well. |

A light breeze is OK but they are less tolerant of wind than grapes in case you have experience there. Mainly the wind breaks out the young canes. Later in the year it's less of an issue. |

The FAQ for Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game is online |
Death Angel | Published 19 October 2010 |
The FAQ for Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game (pdf, 464 KB) is now available on our support page!
Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Death Angel is a cooperative card game for 1-6 players. Taking on the roles of Blood Angel Space Marines, you and your allies must enter an infested Space Hulk and terminate the Genestealer infestation.
Created by Corey Konieczka, Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game combines strategy, teamwork, and grim combat into a suspenseful and fast-paced card game.
Players choose from six different combat teams, each consisting of two Space Marines with different abilities. Each player receives three Action cards for each of his combat teams. As wave after wave of Genestealers attack from every direction, it will take all the teamwork (and luck) you can muster to survive in the claustrophobic hell of this massive Space Hulk.
Download the FAQ and gather your battle-brothers. It's man versus alien in the grim darkness of space. The mission seems impossible. Survival seems unlikely. Failure is not an option.

Excellent, now I should be fully prepared when the game eventually gets to me!
I packaged my order with LOTR The Card Game for a hoped-for before-Christmas arrival...

Hand in Hand for Haiti was founded in response to the 2010 earthquake that rocked Haiti, claiming more than 230,000 lives. After determining that the best way to help people rebuild their lives is through education, the project focused on building a school in Saint-Marc. The school, Lycée Jean-Baptiste Pointe du Sable, will house and run classes for more than 700 students from pre-school through secondary school. Students at the school also receive two nutritious meals every day and learn at the highest academic levels, with bilingual English-French classes taught by foreign and local teachers.
Although he earned his fortunes as a businessman, Charles Deering's true passion was for art and culture. He filled his home with sculptures, drawings, paintings, and other works?some of which he created himself. After he passed away in 1927, The Deering Estate at Cutler has kept his spirit alive; his former home and its surrounding natural landscapes now operate as a cultural meeting place for the community?one that hosts art festivals, artist lectures, and The Living Artist Concert Series.
To combat the scourge of sickle cell disease, the Miami-Dade County Chapter of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America goes beyond simple lip service. They frequently educate the public about the disease, an inherited red blood cell disorder that causes a debilitating form of anemia. They also pair their education with cold, hard cash, raising funds through events such as 5Ks and conferences. These resources help provide social services for afflicted Sickle Cell patients and families.

Even for those who traffic in stories of the paranormal, Marilyn Egan is unusual. Where most ghost tours focus on vengeful spirits and doomed lovers, she believes that the ghosts of Delray Beach are happy ones. In an interview with the Sun Sentinel, Marilyn stated that the area's spirits aren't bound to the world of the living by curses or vengeance, but because they simply don't want to leave the pleasant village. There are some grim tales at hand, however; people who take the tours will hear tales of the 1903 sinking of the S.S. Inchulva just off the coast of Delray Beach, and of visits by notorious gangsters to the Colony Hotel. Tours also swing by such stops as the former Power's Lounge, Johnnie Brown's, The Blue Anchor Pub, and the tracks of the East Coast Railway in search of lingering spirits.

Yes, the Roy/Minnie bench statue concept is not the original intent as that was added much later, even the concept for it came much after Partners.
Anyways, his arm is off to the right a bit; I used to like to think he was walking the park with Mickey, pointing a Guest to the nearest restroom (just off to the right past Casey's Corner....)
Very interesting(tho long) read. I think I like Sam I am's version the best.
It's a Disney thing. If you understood, your only question would be "can I go?"

Many of the other girls opted for monochrome looks, which I love, but I'm feeling partial to Dree's refreshing white and pastel combo for the season. It's so pretty and she looks like she should be frolicking on a grassy Chanel knoll. Love the mint pumps, and I am certifiably obsessed with the light, breezy hair and makeup — more on that later.

Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. - 3/27/08
A Transformational Grant
WSU researchers, led by Wendy Brown of the Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology, recently reported on a new finding that promises to speed the development of vaccines. The team focused on a bacterium that causes disease in cattle, but their research also offers great promise in the search for immunizations against persistent human diseases, many of which are prevalent in developing nations.
This is a most timely example of the outstanding work that happens every day in our labs at Washington State University. Our university is a leader in exploring the connections between human and animal diseases, and that effort received an enormous boost this week.
Monday, we announced the largest private grant in WSU's history, $25 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support our new School for Global Animal Health . The money will go toward a $35 million building, to be constructed on the Pullman campus, which will be the focal point of research university-wide in this important area.
The Gates Foundation is known for its transformational work on global health and development. The foundation is dedicated to helping people, at a grass-roots level, lift themselves up from lives of poverty and disease.
In this regard, the efforts of the Foundation and of our School for Global Animal Health are very much in concert. As Warwick Bayly, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, pointed out at the announcement ceremony, the health of people in developing nations is inextricably linked with the health of their animal populations.
This grant moves WSU closer to our goal of becoming an internationally recognized center for the study of vaccine development, disease detection and zoonotic diseases, diseases that spread from animals to humans. They account for 70 percent of human infectious diseases worldwide.
The director of the School for Global Animal Health is Guy Palmer, a National Academy of Sciences member. In recent years, Palmer's research has focused primarily on tick-borne pathogens that cause millions of dollars of losses in cattle herds, particularly in tropical regions. It is hard to overstate the economic impact such diseases can have on a poor farming community in a developing nation.
I am extremely pleased and proud that the Gates Foundation has chosen Washington State University to be a partner in this most important work. I congratulate those WSU scientists whose work has placed us in the forefront of global animal health and I look forward to more advances in the ongoing battles against poverty and disease in the years ahead.

Design Basics: Kitchen Islands
Countertop islands add work space, and create a pleasant gathering area, in the kitchen
By Kevin Conrad
Lighten Up
As the center for so many different activities, islands require a versatile, multilayered lighting scheme. Recessed canisters throughout the area can provide general illumination, but youll also want to supplement them with overhead spotlights or pendants for close-up work. If the countertop is made of a reflective material such as stainless steel, be sure to fit your illumination sources with bottom diffusers or use half-chrome-mirrored bulbs to prevent glare.
Sync The Style
By virtue of its location, size, and bulk, an island acts as a focal point in many kitchens. But rather than visually dominate the space, it should fit in with the overall design scheme; this is especially true for units that function as transitional points between the kitchen and adjoining spaces. Designers can also switch up an islands appearance by giving it furniture-look paneling, varying the finishes on its countertops and surrounds, and experimenting with its shape by adding curved edges, for example.
By creating an island that combines form with function, you will help your kitchen look and perform better. Keep the above principles in mind when mapping out your multitasking unit, and it will serve you well for years to come.

"Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship." — Benjamin Franklin, early American political leader, scientist, and polymath
Key Ideas:
- Overhead is the minimum ongoing resources required for your business to continue operations.
- The lower your Overhead, the less revenue you need to keep going.
- Overhead is critically important if you're building your company on a fixed amount of capital. The faster you spend it, the more quickly you'll need to bring revenue.
- A lower Overhead means more flexibility.
Questions for Consideration:
- How much are you spending each month, even if you don't sell anything?
- How can you minimize your business' expenses without decreasing critical capabilities?

Tickets for the 2014 River Worship Center's Fall Fashion Show on at Lee University's Dixon Center are going fast.
The annual charity benefit, set for Sept. 6 at 11 a.m., is promising to be even bigger and better than last year's fashion show which paid tribute to the "Great Gatsby" era.
The theme for this year's red carpet event is, "My Hero Is Coming to My Rescue," inspired by the lyrics of worship artist Catherine Mullins. The runway show, with a hint of Cinderella charm, will feature fashions that lend themselves to an enchanted evening of eye-popping fashions and chic designs laced with the latest in shrugs, boots and new wave wedding gowns.
Last year's fundraising gala raised more than $10,000 for Mercy's Door Children's Homes to benefit needy youths ages 6 to 18. Mercy's Door founder, Paula Malone, and makeup artist Machelle McCulley said they are excited about this year's event and hope to shatter the record set in attendance and funds raised last year.
The twofold goal, according to McCulley, is to raise funds for Mercy's Door and empower women by teaching them the importance of dressing for success and maximizing their beauty.
"Some people ask, 'What's the big deal about clothes?'" McCulley said. "I think clothes, hair and makeup makes you the total package. You feel better when you have more self-esteem. I find a lot of gratification in teaching women to see themselves in a beautiful light. It's very fulfilling. For me, to be able to teach someone how to dress and wear makeup is as helpful as teaching a baby how to walk. As women, we need to realize that it's a privilege to be able to take pride in ourselves."
According to McCulley, there will be 78 models wearing two outfits each. They have been working 10 and 12 hour days with a team of 12 people getting them ready.
"Some of the girls cried because they looked so good and felt so good about themselves," McCulley said. "To help women move forward with their style, I pulled out items that are easy, some hard and some in the middle. This triangle approach works for people who aren't sure of themselves. It teaches them to get out of their comfort zone and try new styles."
This year even the lobby will be transformed into a runway, adding to the glitz and glamor of the occasion, according to McCulley.
"This year will feature the layered look, shrugs, long sweaters with short boots, modern chic, including knee boots and out-of-the-box brides with vintage and bohemian brides — one dressed in a black wedding gown and another dressed in a gold wedding gown. That's the big thing right now — colored wedding dresses. It's going to be absolutely amazing!" McCulley said. "We're going to have stiletto high heel shoe chairs — you sit in them! We're going to be auctioning them off as well as vintage furniture that was donated."
In fact, all of the name brand outfits, voguish shoes and accessories modeled will be available for purchase after the show. A special treat for those attending the fashion fundraiser will be Tria Montgomery, the director of Onstage Dance Company, presenting a special live stage performance of a dance from the blockbuster Disney motion picture "Frozen.'
"We believe this show is going to be bigger and even more exciting than last year!" McCulley announced. "Of course, we want to break the record this year, but personally, I'm more excited for all the girls involved and the new businesses that have come on board."
All of the models are local volunteers as well as girls from Mercy's Door children's homes. Area hair designers, makeup artists and cosmetology students from Cleveland High School and Bradley Central High have also volunteered to get the models ready for their big runway walk.
The clothes will be coming from various thrift stores in Atlanta, hideaway boutiques in Florida and other areas, according to McCulley, who added, "They are not going to believe the items we've found! These are very, very different fashions. I'm really excited!"
When asked about the theme, "My Hero Is Coming to My Rescue," McCulley explained, "Of course, Jesus is our hero who saves us. But we can also be heroes to these children. We can be used as a rescue for them. Last year, the money we raised for them was exactly what their deficit was. We do not realize and we cannot know what this will mean to these children in generations to come."
Mercy's Door Children's Homes was founded in 2004 by Paula Malone, who was inspired to help needy children going through tough times after her mother was murdered when she was a little girl. Three homes are used to house children from a variety of backgrounds.
According to Malone, who shares a passion with her husband, Randall, to help children in need, Mercy's Door is a place designed "to allow children to heal in heart, grow in character and experience peace of mind."
Malone said, "The RWC fashion show has been such a blessing to the girls, staff and myself at Mercy's Door in so many ways."
McCulley, wife of Patrick McCulley, who pastors the River Worship Center, said, "We're grateful to all the people, churches and businesses in the community who are helping us raise money for these special children."
Advance tickets for the 2014 Fall Fashion show can be purchased at the Headquarters Beauty Salon at 3423 Keith St., Cleveland and by contacting Machelle McCulley at 309-8346, or visit: www.riverworshipcenter.com.

Sophomores at James Madison Preparatory School in Tempe marched in formation Tuesday as their history teacher — dressed as a Union officer in authentic Civil War regalia — barked orders.
The outdoor exercise was a re-enactment of the manual of arms developed in the 1850s at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point for young volunteers.
Teacher Gordon Scheaffer, who grew up in Pennsylvania an hour from the Gettysburg battlefield, made sure everything was authentic for his students — even the stale hardtack he fed them at the end of the activity.
Scheaffer travels to Gettysburg annually for a reenactment of the Civil War battle, playing the role of his ancestor, 2nd Lt. Jefferson Truitt from Company D
of the 62nd Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Scheaffer said he considers the Civil War a turning point in U.S. history that students need to appreciate.
"I think it's important for them to understand the sacrifices that were made, and the American Civil War was the ultimate sacrifice," Scheaffer said.
Sophomore Tony Vieweg, 16, said many schools gloss over the Civil War period and don't take the time that Scheaffer does to make the period come alive.
"You don't really get the details that he gives us," Vieweg said. "It's a wake-up call."
Students spend two years studying American history and 13 weeks studying the Civil War.
"We don't believe you can be an effective citizen if you're not educated about your history," said David Batchelder, the charter school's director.
Instead of rifles, the students Tuesday carried broomsticks, hockey sticks and mop handles — which Batchelder said was also authentic.
"Young men would have started out with broomsticks because they didn't have enough rifles," he said.
The school has about 126 students from seventh through 12th grade.

It is the privileged role of the Art Smiths, the William Pelleys, and the George Christians to lay only the cornerstone of fascism. It is in their rudimentary organizations that the petty bourgeoisie receives its first elementary schooling in dictatorship. It is from the Smiths and the Pelleys that it learns to scrap its democratic scruples, to hate the Jew as the Mephistopheles responsible for depressions and to detest the Communist as the companion creation of the Devil.
It is in their lecture rooms that the small shopkeeper and the petty officers avidly absorb the bombastic emotional rantings of the would be American Hitlers who intoxicate their listeners with glorious hallucinations of the past and still more glorious visions of the future under the aegis of fascism. Religious animosity is of course, stressed more than anything else.
–Class Struggle, Vol 4, No 3 March 1934 (http://www.weisbord.org/FourThree.htm)
Tennessean George W. Christians, chief officer of the fascist Crusader White Shirts, was an odd combination of comedian and sinister revolutionist. "Does our Commander in Chief have ideas," he asked, "or is he just the world's greatest humbug?" In another handbill, Christians wrote of the president: "Some neck—for a rope." He was characterized by one-time Roosevelt braintruster Raymond Moley as a 'harmless lunatic.'
"The Crusader White Shirts," Christians stated, "known as the American Fascists, is a military auxiliary of the Crusaders for Economic Liberty [CFEL]…. It embraces the Fascist idea of personal leadership, unity, force, drama and nationalism."
Christians once issued orders to seize control of the government: "The first- objective should be to take control of the local government in the following manner: March in military formation to and surround the government buildings. Then, by sheer numbers and a patriotic appeal, force the officials to accept and act under the direction of an economic adviser appointed by the President of the CFEL."
One night when FDR was scheduled to arrive in Chattanooga, TN, Christians threatened to cut off the city's electric power and warned grimly, "Lots of things can happen in the dark!" Followers took this as a veiled reference to consider lynching Roosevelt.
This protege of the American Liberty League was from then on kept under surveillance by the Secret Service. On March 27, 1942, Christians and Rudolph Fahl, onetime physical-education instructor at a Denver high school, were arrested for disseminating material that could demoralize the army. Christians was accused of violating the Smith Act by "communicating to soldiers statements designed to impair their morale."
In early April, five more seditionists were arrested. Meantime Christians, held in Chattanooga under $10,000 bond, said, "I consider myself a political prisoner rather than a criminal and should get better treatment." The President took pride in the operation during his "Fireside Chat" late in April: "this great war effort . . . must not be impeded by a few bogus patriots who use the sacred freedom of the press to echo the sentiments of the propagandists in Tokyo and Berlin." All of those from the March-April group were convicted by the end of the summer of 1942, except Fahl.

andrew Burrington Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula on April 13, 2010, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, ANDREW BURRINGTON, a 23-year-old resident of Missoula, pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Sentencing has been set for July 22, 2010. He is currently released on special conditions.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara J. Elliott, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
Starting in approximately September 2006, BURRINGTON began obtaining five pound quantities of marijuana from a source of supply (SOS#1) every week until approximately February of 2008. BURRINGTON estimated that he purchased between 100 and 150 pounds from SOS#1.
BURRINGTON later began purchasing marijuana from a higher level source of supply (SOS#2). BURRINGTON estimated that he purchased 250-400 pounds of marijuana from (SOS#2).
P.C. stated that he met BURRINGTON on July 29, 2008. A week or two later P.C. went to BURRINGTON's residence and observed BURRINGTON with 14 pounds of marijuana. BURRINGTON fronted one pound of marijuana to P.C. for $2,700. P.C. estimated over the next two months that he obtained 30 pounds of marijuana from BURRINGTON. P.C. stated that between August 2008 and September 2009, he estimated that he had obtained between 400-600 pounds of marijuana from BURRINGTON. P.C. stated the most he obtained at one time was 10 pounds. P.C. stated on one occasion he observed BURRINGTON with 50 pounds of marijuana at BURRINGTON's residence. P.C. also stated he counted $75,000 in cash with BURRINGTON in August 2009.
On September 3, 2009, P.C. was robbed by Jeremiah Lettiere of approximately five pounds of marijuana and $12,000. P.C. stated that the five pounds of marijuana had come from BURRINGTON. P.C. intended to distribute the five pounds to Lettiere, collect the cash, and then purchase another five pounds of marijuana from BURRINGTON to distribute to Lettiere.
On September 3, 2009, the Missoula High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration conducted a search warrant at BURRINGTON's residence in Missoula. Agents seized $46,048 in cash and approximately 10 pounds of marijuana.
Lettiere pled guilty to federal charges and has been sentenced.
BURRINGTON faces possible penalties of a mandatory minimum of 5 years in prison and could be sentenced to 40 years, a $2,000,000 fine and at least 4 years supervised release.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Missoula High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
A copy of the Offer of Proof can be obtained by contacting Sally Frank at (406) 247-4638.

Pricing, Availability and Final Thoughts
Hitting at $699, the new GTX 780 Ti 3GB is going to cost anywhere from $110 - $150 more than the AMD R9 290X 4GB. The main reason for the range in price is because while the official price for the R9 290X 4GB is $549, they're being listed as high as $589. This is about what we would expect from NVIDIA, in no way would we expect them to come out and offer the new model at the same price as the AMD one - it's just not what they do. Plus, if they did that, it wreaks havoc on a whole bunch of other models from NVIDIA.
When it comes to performance, the card is a beast, and it really has to hurt anyone who bought a GTX TITAN for $999. As much of a beast that card was, the price tag was always painful. The performance of the new GTX 780 Ti 3GB is really quite exceptional, though, and you can see against our MSI GTX 780 3GB Lightning, which is overclocked to over 1000MHz on the core, more often than not, the new Ti variant manages to perform ahead of it.
The new GTX 780 Ti 3GB competes against the AMD R9 290X 4GB in the sense that it's AMD's top single GPU model against NVIDIA's top single GPU model. But with over $100 separating the two cards and more than $200 separating them when you're talking about CrossFire or SLI, there's a decent price gap between the two cards. It's really enough that the NVIDIA offering could just simply not be in your budget.
What we're really excited about, though, is what partners do in the coming weeks and months with both the GTX 780 Ti 3GB and the R9 290X 4GB. Let MSI loose on the models with its Lightning label and ASUS with its MATRIX one and we're going to really see what happens. Then you've got the solo partners, what will EVGA do to the GTX 780 Ti? And AMD partners like Sapphire and HIS with the R9 290X?
If you're a fan of NVIDIA video cards, you're going to be really happy with what NVIDIA has brought to the table today. Is the NVIDIA offering the faster out of the two? When two cards perform this well, it's hard to give a clear winner. Sometimes we see the NVIDIA offering ahead, other times the AMD offering is ahead. And there's also times where both cards perform almost the same as each other.
We do feel that AMD has a bit more going on when it comes to the feature side of things with stuff like Mantle, bridgeless CrossFire and TrueAudio to name just a few. On the other hand, it feels like NVIDIA just turned around and slapped a beast of a video card on the table. They simply let the numbers do the talking.

Back to School & Back to Bullies? School and work can be stressful enough… dealing with deadlines, assignments, and outside obligations. Throw in maintaining friendships- or dodging bullies- and you've got quite a full plate! Especially for children and adults suffering from ADD/ADHD or other learning and concentration difficulties, making friends or keeping the peace with others can be frustrating and difficult. While popularity in youth does not always correlate to success as an adult, certain traits that popular kids often possess, such as an outgoing personality and good people skills, undoubtedly can give them an edge later in life. In addition, research has shown the health benefits of friendship, including relieving stress, overcoming bad habits like smoking. Friendships can also provide great emotional comfort, which in turn affects social, emotional, and physical health.
Learning and concentration difficulties can cause various kinds of disturbances with human interaction and limit one's ability to get close to others. Sometimes, children and adults are embarrassed or shy in group situations and withdraw from normal socializing. While some people may overcome their shyness with age, for others, extreme shyness may lead to social phobia or anxiety in adulthood. Individuals may avoid working in an office, or avoid social situations at all costs.
While common and mild shyness may result in physical symptoms, such as blushing or stammering – extreme shyness can be accompanied by panic attacks – causing symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, nausea and shaking. Combined with the symptoms often accompanied by ADD/ADHD, this could spell trouble for healthy interactions and maintaining focus on priorities at hand. Try SocialFear Relief ™ or AgoraFear Relief ™
The opposite scenario may be individuals who have outbursts, hyperactive and/or uncontrollable behavior – all which may offend or scare others off – whether in the classroom or the boardroom, resulting in a different kind of negative response from others. Try Focus ADDult ™ for adults or Focus Formula™ for children
Regardless of the types of concentration challenges at hand, social skill building is pretty much the same. Start slowly by introducing new types of social activities. If your child has never participated in a team sport or club, encourage him or her to join a team or attend a hobby club meeting of their choice. It may push them out of their comfort zone temporarily, but having interactions outside a structured classroom setting can help them gain confidence and release pent-up energy. Just be sure to monitor activities, as ADD/ADHD children may have a strong sense of competitiveness that may need to be tamed. For adults, joining a gym or taking an adult continuing education class can provide the same benefits, as we tend to get accustomed to our routines of work or other obligations and often end up in the same social circles – not growing our communication skills. If your child appears to be stressed about interactions with peers at school, try and talk to them and figure out what's causing the problem. Sometimes a sibling or big brother/big sister mentor can help provide a different perspective and help them build self-esteem to overcome social challenges if they seem uncomfortable reaching out to you. As adults, bouncing situations off a trusted friend can help shed light on a frustrating situation and help you find a way to work through it. In addition, acknowledge the challenges unique to ADD/ADHD or other learning and concentration difficulties. By keeping these in mind, you can help your child adapt to different situations, or remind yourself that while you may have to put in a little extra effort, the benefits of improved social interactions will be worth the health rewards!
