Tired of the drama,
sick of all the pain.
Yet I'm stuck with it
like it was put in my veins.
Try as hard as you can
you can never hide.
If you give me some time
we can set the beef aside.
You want it to be over,
but that's implausable.
You wanna dissapear,
but that's impossible!!
I admit that maybe
we both are to blame.
But all that you've done
makes my actions seem lame.
There may or may not
be an end to this fight.
But as much as you deny it,
know that I was always right.

When we began planting Grace Hills, we didn't have the quarter of a million dollars that some church plants in America start out with. We had way less than that, in fact, so we had to figure out how to hack some things together, and I'm convinced it's made us stronger. We learned to do the very best we could with what we had, and we're still doing that.
A lack of resources is merely an opportunity to be extra creative.
The Values of Excellence
The first thing we had to do was clarify our values concerning excellence, and we came up with five. These are not an official statement—just random thoughts that guided some of our early decisions:
Some churches value excellence way more than we do, and that's great. But for us, excellence is kind of assumed while we take action.
Faithraising in a Church Plant
I hate fundraising and donor development, but I love faithraising. When giving is an issue of discipleship, we have nothing to fear in teaching a young church how to become generous. So your budget woes are usually temporary if you're effectively discipling people, excepting an economic downturn.
When it comes to raising funds, I believe it's important to understand your financial values. For example, at Grace Hills:
The Tools We Use
If you're going to do things on the cheap, you're going to need to know where to go for tools and resources, and here are just a few of my own favorites:
And there are plenty more. If you have a favorite or offer resources yourself, feel free to share in the comments below.
Staffing With a Tiny Budget
It's easy to overstaff, but it's dangerous to understaff. I'm a big believer in staffing ahead of growth. I believe in leadership, and so from early on, we wanted to expand our staff as quickly as possible—but we obviously couldn't afford to pay a bunch of full-time salaries.
So we became creative in our solutions. For example:
Going Technical on a Budget
There are companies that do great work for the church at high prices. There's nothing wrong with paying a lot of money for a cutting-edge web presence, but it isn't necessary, especially for a new church plant.
Consider the following:
Promoting on a Budget
Direct mail works well in some locations and not in others. Either way, it's expensive. It's beneficial if you can afford it, but if you can't, it's still possible to promote what God is doing on a budget, especially using social media, which I wrote about here. And in addition to social media, we have had great success using MailChimp for our email marketing. Since Grace Hills started, we've spent $0 on traditional marketing. All of our growth is organic.
Beyond advertising and promotion is good old-fashioned service to the community, which is often cheap or free and speaks more loudly than a well-designed piece of marketing material.
Facilities on a Budget
Property is expensive, and buildings are even more so. They are also maintenance nightmares for a new church plant. And in our present culture, a new church plant needs to establish that the church is a movement of people, not a location. So I have a few rules when it comes to buildings in a new church plant:
Finally, to close out, here's some from-the-hip random advice for creating excellence on a budget:
And at the end of it all, do the best you can with what God provides for His glory!

The coroner has confirmed that the body found in the Des Moines River on June 7, 2013, is that of missing teen Kathlynn Shepard, abducted in late May by a sex offender that her family does not think should have been granted early work release from prison.
The search for missing, abducted teen Kathlynn Shepard, 15, has intensified after the man believed to have been her abductor, Michael Klunder, 42, was found dead four hours after her abduction. Investigators are also looking for a connection between this case and the 2012 abduction and murder of two Iowa cousins.

IAD at Work
The Internal Audit Division (IAD) currently has approximately 90 auditees comprising of the United Nations Secretariat, five regional commissions, select Funds and Programmes and other United Nations entities. With effect from 2008, its annual audit work plan, which details the audit assignments that would be conducted each year, was developed primarily based on the results of risk assessments, while taking into consideration requests from the General Assembly and other relevant factors. Risk assessment involves identifying potential events or actions which may adversely affect the United Nations' ability to achieve its organizational objectives or execute its strategies successfully. It includes assessing the likelihood of such events or actions occurring and the impact they would have if they occur. IAD adopts this approach when developing its annual work plan as it enables the Division to direct audit resources at areas that pose the greatest risk to the achievement of the Organization's objectives.
IAD has conducted over 50 risk assessments since August 2007. The risk assessments were conducted through interviews and workshops with programme managers and their staff. Although the high risk areas varied from one department/entity to another, the risk assessments generally showed that the highest risks to the Organization were in the areas of (i) programme and project management, (ii) strategic management and governance, (iii) human resources management and (iv) procurement and contract administration. Areas of medium risk were (i) financial management, (ii) information and communications technology management, (iii) logistics management and (iv) property and facilities management. IAD has identified 983 audit assignments that it will conduct during the period 2008 to 2010 and beyond which would focus on these risk areas.
Since 2002, IAD has completed 737 assignments and made more than 8,100 recommendations to address weaknesses identified during its audits. IAD also identified cost savings and recoveries of over $200 million, 50 per cent of which have been realized. The areas with the most recommendations are programme and project management, overall administration and management, procurement and contracts management, and human resources management. IAD's effectiveness can be determined by the rate of implementation of its recommendations. As of 30 June 2008, 75 per cent of all recommendations have been implemented and 16 per cent were in the process of being implemented. Only two per cent of the recommendations were not accepted by programme managers.
IAD recently revised its Internal Audit Manual and also streamlined its audit management process. This was necessary due to the merger of the previously two separate internal audit divisions, the need to harmonize divergent audit procedures and practices and to ensure better compliance with the internal auditing standards. The revised manual further clarifies IAD's policies and procedures and provides improved guidance and tools to implement them. The electronic audit working papers system is currently being re-customized to bring it in line with the revised manual and the revised audit management process.

Happy Valentines Day
Hey there! Just a note to wish you a lovely Valentines Day.
No matter your opinion of the old V Day, sights of people walking through London today with bouquets of flowers, smiles and even giant bunches of red heart balloons (yes I saw this!) is enough to warm the heart of even the biggest cynic. The sun even came out to say hello a few times, what a miracle!
Enjoy these stunning images (credits listed), inspired by Valentines Day.
L O V E, Justine x

Processes, Processes, Processes
Structured processes are incredibly useful, and often necessary,
beasts. They are, however, almost never the most important things for a
project. We shouldn't hold on to and adhere to processes just because.
Processes are in place to ensure the quality and timeliness of our work.
When they cease to work towards this end, its ok to break the mold.
Live a little sometimes: let go, buck the man, don't mark that jira ticket
even though it's been deployed, it'll be ok, I promise. Say 'no' to a
meeting when you're in the zone getting-shit-done™, tackle a ticket that isn't
assigned to you, or even gasp fix a bug that hasn't even been filed yet.
What process have you ignored recently?

Our paper has Butterball turkeys advertised for $.79 lb, spiral sliced ham for $1.99 lb,whole fresh ham for $1.39 lb, and E-Z carve shank portion ham for $1.09 lb. I am new to OAMC. Until this point we've eaten "convience" foods, so I don't even know what cuts of meat are good to use in dishes and what's not. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
When I can buy fresh turkeys on sale, I buy a number of them. Before freezing, I separate the whole breast and freeze it separately from the legs and thighs which I use for stocks and soups. |
- Posted by Dances_in_Garden (My Page) on Tue, Nov 20, 01 at 9:52
I make several turkeys a year, and not just for holidays. I LOVE turkey. We eat the normal turkey dinner the first night. Some of the meat is turned into sandwiches a few days later. Most of the meat is cut in chunks and frozen for use in casseroles etc. The bones are cut up and simmered with carrots/onions/celery etc. to make stock. I even freeze leftover gravy to have on hand. Instand mashed potatoes taste better with real gravy ROFL. If you don't want the fuss of stuffing, you can roast the turkey unstuffed for a regular dinner. But we like the stuffing. As far as the ham, spiral sliced are normally kind of lean and easy to work with (you could separate the slices and freeze some sliced, some cubed etc.) but usually it has a sweet glaze on it that might not be good in some recipes. Check it before you buy it. Fresh ham is not smoked or cured, so you are buying the equivalent of a ham shaped pork roast. You could roast it for a dinner, then simmer any leftover meat with the bone until you can shred it with a fork. That is good in tortillas, casseroles, etc. Shank ham is usually fattier, and has a bone. You could cook it for a dinner, then use the leftover meat and the bone in soup (bean soup for example). Hope this helps a little! |
I love the fresh pork because they are not expensive and can be used in so many ways. We have market specials here often on them. I buy them, roast them, have roast the first night and all that is left is divided into packages for everything from soup, barbecue, fried rice, stew, stir fry, sandwiches, in casseroles etc...there is just no end of the ways you can use them.... |

Are Lutherans Next? Lutherans Seek Full Communion with Catholic Church Comments
Pope Benedict XVI's first Papal message: 'With full awareness, therefore, at the beginning of his ministry in the Church of Rome which Peter bathed in his blood, Peter's current Successor takes on as his primary task the duty to work tirelessly to rebuild the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers. This is his ambition, his impelling duty.' Continue Reading

I am a Lutheran currently in process to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. My journey has been a long one, and the events of last August with my own ELCA has forced me to make a decision. But there is also a larger question: why are Lutherans still separated from the Catholic Church in the first place? The issues Martin Luther adressed A.D. 1517 are either resolved or out of date. We should have been reunited a long time ago.

It's time to begin an "official" serious discussion/debate on the merits of an expanded married priesthood in our church. As pointed out by this article and some of these comments, there already ARE married priests and clergy in the Latin Rite Roman Catholic Church. The overwhelming success of the permanent (mostly married) diaconate, the over 100 married U.S. married priests ordained under the pastoral provision, the many Eastern Rite married priests, and now the prelature allowing for converting Anglican congregrations with married priests -- all attest to the validity and efficacy of a married priesthood that can (and does) work alongside our very gifted and valued celibate priests!
Celibacy IS a gift to the church and priesthood. It is a radical witness to a call to holiness that reflects the covenantal relationship between Christ and His Church. But so too is the Sacrament of Marriage. If lived sacramentally, marriage too is a radical call to holines that reflects the same covenantal relationship in a different rakical way that can be a powerful witness to our hedonistic society! Married priesthood is a spiritual, radical call to holiness just as a celibate priesthood is. Isn't that what our church really needs? -- Holy priests? -

This article is condescending in many regards, including taking Lutherans into "full communion" into the Catholic Church.
First of all, I know of no conservative, orthodox, confessional Lutherans who would seek this union. If you are speaking about the liberal wing of Lutheranism, perhaps you may get a few of them as their denomination is in a free fall. They have thrown out historical confessional Lutheranism out the door, and are in desperate straits. Do you really want them in the Catholic Church?
As for more faithful confessional Lutherans, you will have a very difficult time convincing them to "sell their birthright" and join something they have historically opposed for centuries.
By making headline news out of a few defectors is not the credible thing to do.
A hard core Lutheran. -

Nino, our Eastern Rite Roman Catholic brothers who are married may be ordained priests. So we would not be introducing married priests into the Church - they are already here and have been forever.
I do believe that they may not become Bishops, tho. As to the Lutherans, I don't know whether or not their tradition in this matter would continue. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Anglicans who are petitioning Rome for full communion will be dropping their tradition of allowing married men to become priests. I would think that it would be the same for the Lutherans and, probably, for any Church that would be considered part of our Western Rite and tradition.
As to the laity's confusion, well, this would be a great time to educate them. You'd be amazed how little Catholic faithful know about their Church. These are things I learned back in Catholic grammar and high school back in the 50's and 60's.
Back in the eighth grade we learned about the different rites and had the opportunity to go to Divine Liturgy at St. Basil's Melkite Seminary in Methuen, MA. It is hauntingly beautiful, AND they were receiving communion under both species as they always had!
Find an Eastern Rite parish and go to Liturgy there some Sunday (it will count as your Sunday obligation). Go and see another panel in the great quilt that God has sewn that is His Catholic Church. -

To me this is an error of immense proportions..just make these 'converts' with their wives and children..Deacons..why make them 'priests' this will only weaken the church even more for if one can come in from error bringing ones wife and children,,then why not a priest already in the door who falls in love with whomever etc..whats fair is fair..no this is the camel in the tent and more then its nose is already in ...............will there ever be light it seems to get darker and darker...

OWENSBORO, Ky. (7/16/13) --Hospice of Western Kentucky's 20-year dream is about to come true with the construction of their new in-patient care facility on Old Hartford Rd. in Owensboro. The facility is expected to open in October.
"With everything we've done, we were missing an in-patient facility," said Rod McFain, President & CEO of Hospice of Western Kentucky.
The Old Hartford Rd. location, named the Heartford House, will be a 15,000 sq. ft. residency, with 12 rooms and 13 beds. There will also be a great room, family room, children's activity room, reception area, meditation room, and isolation room.
The new location is definitely off the beaten path with a private gravel road leading up to the serene setting of the Heartford House.
"We wanted to give our residents a place to get their pain and symptoms under control, but also keep a beautiful, home-like atmosphere," said McFain.
The Western Kentucky location serves 600 families a year who have a member in the final phase of a life-limiting illness. They provide nurses, personal care, social workers, spiritual counselors, personal care specialists, equipment, pharmaceuticals related to diagnosis, all paid for by Hospice, said McFain.
Hospice of Western Kentucky is non-profit, Medicare and Medicaid certified. They service Daviess, Hancock, Muhlenberg, and Hopkins Counties.
The funding for the new facility has come from Hospice's Capital Campaign and reserve accounts. For every dollar raised for the campaign, Hospice will match it. Gifts and donations including pledges, stocks and securities, and individual gifts will also be matched. The company is hoping not to borrow any money for the construction of the approximately $4.5 million project
Hospice of Western Kentucky's mission for the Heartford House is to "provide high-quality physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and comforting care, through a team approach, to individuals living at the end of life and to their families," according to their Capital Campaign.
Hospice is hiring 35 nurses for the new facility and applications are currently being reviewed.

November 1930: "Contrary to the usual discussion, we now have 'Are Cougars Lonesome?'
During the night the Calamity Butte Lookout would hear something about the cabin, and one night when he had fresh meat, he heard something scratching on the screen door.
These visits continued for several nights, and one day about 2 p.m. the lookout noticed his visitor sitting near the flag pole -- which was about 30 feet from the cabin. He decided he would make Mr. Cougar disperse, and made a wild dash at him. Mr. (or Mrs.) Cougar gave him a casual glance and took his time about getting off the ridge. This animal was seen several times during the summer, and never seemed in a hurry. Several deer were found that it had killed." (Six Twenty-Six)

September 17, 1937: "Lookout fireman Cecil E. Jackson handed over his Guard badge last week and resumed his duties as principal of John Day school. Ex-Guard Jackson says the summer on Calamity Lookout has been very profitable from several view points. He not only carried on advance studies through an extension course but contained a working knowledge of fire detection and suppression. He also learned that cutting a section out of a telephone ground wire to use as 'haywire' may interrupt telephone communication. Anyway we hope to see Cecil back next summer." (John Day Valley Ranger)
1996: A new octagon shape cab on a 50-foot round timber tower was started.
2001: The new lookout structure was completed.

September 2, 1950: "In the living quarters atop the lookout tower at Donnelly butte, Ernest Hunt Jr., member of the Ochoco national forest staff, and his bride, the former Gloria Wiegers of Seattle, are spending their honeymoon. The couple was married by starlight under a canopy of pines at Cedar Springs forest camp east of Paulina August 21." (The Bend Bulletin)

June 13, 1929: "The Snow mountain road crew is completing a motor way from the upper Silver Creek section to the summit of Dry Mountain on which Mr. J.T. Choate will serve as lookout-fireman for the coming summer. A new telephone line was constructed there last year, so with these improvements more efficient fire protection can be given to that extremely hazardous portion of the forest." (Central Oregonian)
July 18, 1929: "Ranger E.W. Donnelly, assisted by Fireman Jack Choate and Road Foreman W.J. Baur, is constructing a platform near the top of a yellow pine tree on the summit of Dry Mountain. On this platform will be mounted a telephone, fire finder, etc., for use of the lookout who will occupy that station. The platform will be more than 100 feet from the ground and will afford a much better view than can be obtained from any point on the ground, since the top of the mountain is pretty well covered with timber." (Central Oregonian)
September 1929: "Jack Choate, who occupies the 'crows nest' 110 feet from the ground in a yellow pine tree on the summit of Dry Mountain, says he now feels perfectly at home since four 3/8 " guy cables have been placed on the tree and the ladder improved to such an extent that he can run up and down the tree in high gear. Road Foreman Baur assisted in fixing up this lookout tree which is the highest platform occupied by a lookout on the Ochoco." (The Ochoconian)
December 1930: "A fireman's cabin was constructed on Dry Mountain at the base of the steel tower site." (The Ochoconian)
March 19, 1931: "A 75-foot steel lookout tower was received at the forest service warehouse in Prineville on March 17. The tower is to be placed on Dry Mountain in the Snow Mountain district. This will greatly facilitate detection in this vicinity, since heretofore the lookout has been obliged to climb a tree in order to see over his territory. This will be the first steel tower on the Ochoco." (Central Oregonian)
March 1931: "The Dry Mountain steel tower is here at last. We have been getting it for just about a year now. The material which has come from Aermotor Company in Chicago weighs a little over 11,00 pounds. It will be shipped to old Riley by Forest Service truck and then to Dry Mountain by team. The tower will perhaps be put up in May, or at any rate, before the start of fire season. This tower is 73 feet from the ground to the floor of the observation tower, and has a stairway of wooden steps." (The Ochoconian)

Totem Talk: Understanding your stats in Cataclysm
When I was a young shaman, wielding my Vanir's Right Fist of Brutality with pride, I gemmed strength. Bold Crimson Spinels were the order of the expansion, because every point of strength was worth two points of attack power and scaled with Blessing of Kings. Agility gave us absolutely no attack power but did contribute to our melee critical chance. With no attack power gems in existence, Bold strength gems were placed in every available gem slot ever.
Wrath of the Lich King saw a change in our gemming strategy. Out went our plate-wearer style stat formulas; in came agility gear! One agility became equal to one attack power and a small amount of melee crit, while one strength gave us just one attack power. Unfortunately, we still didn't get nearly enough of a bonus from our agility. Attack power gems gave twice the attack power of an equivalent agility gem, and the extra crit wasn't enough to make up for an extra 20 attack power. Later on in the expansion, haste was such a brokenly good stat for us that it eclipsed even attack power. Agility spent a second expansion playing second string.
Now, Cataclysm is here, and it is finally agility's turn to shine. Much like the past two expansions, enhancement shaman gearing in Cataclysm is a very strange beast. This post is here to explain what each stat does for enhancement and where it's valued when you're gearing.
Agility is the star player of enhancement shaman gearing in Cataclysm. If your stats were all cast members of The Breakfast Club, agility would be Molly Ringwald. Agility gives us two points of attack power for each point of agility, and it scales with the 5% stat bonus afforded by Blessing of Kings and Mark of the Wild. Additionally, you get 1% melee crit for approximately every 262 agility. Agility is beyond our best stat.
The unfortunate thing about agility is that you can't reforge into it. It's so far and above the other stats that this would be drastically overpowered. Since you can't reforge into it but you can reforge into other needed stats, agility takes priority for gemming. You can reforge all of your other gear to reach needed caps, so you want to save every one of your gem slots for use with a +40 agility gem. As Agile Shadowspirit Diamond requires three red gems to activate, there is no real reason to go outside of the red gemming scheme other than for an excellent yellow socket bonus (where 20 agi/20 mastery is worthwhile).
Even beyond basic gemming, you want to be looking to fill up your enchants with as many agility enchants as possible. While it's fine to use Precision to boots or bracers to reach your hit cap, those are some of the first enchants you want to look at getting rid of. Hit your epic bracers with the costly +50 agility whenever you have the resources available to do it. Throw on an Enchant Boots- Major Agility as soon as you can maintain 1,742 hit rating without hit rating on your boots. Agility is your friend; use it liberally.
Hit rating is different. There are a number of different hit rating caps, some of which you need to worry about and some of which you have no concern for. First off is the "yellow" hit cap. This caps our special attacks, Lava Lash, Windfury, and Stormstrike. You reach this cap by having 8% melee hit. Since being specced enhancement gives us 6% hit rating while dual wielding, we only need 2% melee hit to cap specials. This is only 240 hit rating, and it's the first thing you will cap.
The more important hit rating to cap is the spell hit cap. Every boss has a built in 17% chance for spells to miss them, which we want to see brought down to zero. Unleash Elements, our Shock spells, Lightning Bolt, and Searing Totem all work off spell hit, as does the always important Wind Shear. You don't want any of these abilities to miss, which is why spell hit is the second most important thing for us to cap. We currently have no spell hit talents like a retribution paladin's Sheath of Light. As a result, we want to reforge and enchant into the full 1,742 rating. Do your best not to gem hit unless you're extremely close to capping and can't reforge anything else in.
Finally, we have the "white" hit cap. This is the cap for your auto-attack damage. Auto-attacking makes up a really low portion of your DPS, between 20-25%. It's never a good idea to try and cap your white hits, as the hit rating required would do more good as another stat. The dual wield hit cap is 27%, and we get 6% through talents. You'd need 2,520 hit rating to cap white hits, and that extra 800 hit could all go towards more desirable stats.
Please note, these numbers are relevant for all non-draenei. Draenei need 120 hit rating for specials, 1,640 for spells, and 2,400 for dual wield white hit.
Expertise is the third most important stat on our list. Expertise reduces the chance for the boss to dodge or parry our attacks. Bosses have an intrinsic 14% chance to parry attacks, but that chance to parry is entirely removed by attacking them from behind. Specific fights like Pit Lord Argaloth make this impossible, but we don't gear around specific fights. Since you're attacking from behind, you only worry about the boss dodging your attacks. They have a 6.5% chance to dodge, which is removed by having 26 expertise. This is 451 rating if you're playing a dwarf with maces or an orc with axes or fists. If you're playing a cool race like a tauren, you need 541.
Mastery is your bread-and-butter secondary stat. 179 mastery rating gives us 1 point of mastery, and every 1 mastery gives us a 2.5% increase in fire, frost, and nature damage. Instead of listing everything that our mastery effects that we use, I'll just list what doesn't get affected: Windfury procs, Stormstrike, and white hits. Together, these make up about 35% of your damage, meaning that 65% of your damage is effected by mastery. Additionally, the flat increase nature of mastery means there is no random number generator tomfoolery like critical strike rating. It is simply damage added to nearly every attack
This makes our mastery incredibly good and something you really want to look for on items. Ideally, you want to try and find items like the Treads of Malorne, itemized with mastery and hit rating. Items like those boots are so good that you don't need to touch them with a reforger unless you're slightly over hit cap and need expertise. Mastery is your last choice to reforge out of and your first choice to reforge into once your caps are met. If you have any non-reforged crit or haste on your gear and you're capped with expertise and hit, make them mastery.
Critical hit and haste
Critical hit and haste are both really bad stats. Haste was king when our damage was dependent on white attacks, but changes like the Static Shock change that made it activate on button presses makes haste less desirable. There simply isn't enough benefit to increasing our attack speed when compared to a flat damage increase like mastery. Mastery's flat increase is also one of the contributing factors to crit's poor showing, as critical hit is dependent on RNG and only increases the damage of some attacks.
You won't be able to get gear without either of these on them, but you want to reforge them into something ASAP. Most importantly, don't go for critical hit/haste items like the Voltage Source Chestguard or Arion's Crown. These are largely worthless and would do better with a hunter friend.

92-year-old Louis Venditti of South Chicago Heights, one of the last surviving heroes of the D-Day invasion, laughs as he tells about his experience of receiving the French Legion of Honor medal and of meeting President Barack Obama. | John Booz/ For Sun-
Article Extras
Updated: July 7, 2014 6:22AM
Seventy years ago, Louis Venditti, then a 22-year-old from Chicago Heights, found himself lost, alone and scared somewhere in France.
Hours before dawn on June 6, 1944, he'd leapt from an airplane behind enemy lines, part of the leading edge of an unprecedented military deployment dubbed Operation Overlord. While Venditti and the paratroopers of the Army's 101st Airborne Division who jumped with him had no idea at the time, the D-Day invasion and subsequent campaign would signal a major turning point in World War II.
Now 92 and living in South Chicago Heights, he can't forget the six anxious hours he spent waiting for the first wave of Allied bombers to cross the English Channel and soften up German defenses.
"It was the most terrifying six hours of my life," Venditti said.
Buddies he'd trained with died within hours of touching down on French soil, near Normandy and Utah beach.
"A lot of them (were killed), oh, sure," he said.
While Venditti would be wounded a few months later in Holland, he came through D-Day relatively unscathed.
"How I survived that night I have no idea," he said. "It was a miracle."
Scrapbooks filled with photos and medals he received, including the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, recount the time he spent overseas and his part of history. Photos depict the trip he took five years ago to Paris, where he received the Legion of Honor for his contribution to the liberation of France.
The books ultimately will be handed down to his son and daughter and their two grandchildren.
"You want to let your children know what you did; that's your history," Venditti said.
Wooing the grocery girl
At Bloom High School, Venditti ran track and played football, and was crazy for the girl whose parents owned a grocery store across the street from where he lived. He said it was obvious her family had money, while Venditti's family was poor, and he figured he'd never have a chance of wooing her.
But the girl, Catherine, would become his wife about a year after his honorable discharge from the Army in November 1945. He's now been without her for almost seven years.
After coming home, Venditti worked for 30 years for the Chicago Heights Fire Department, retiring in 1979 with the rank of captain. He also worked as a roofer.
Drafted in November 1942, Venditti was first sent to California, then to Fort Benning in Georgia, where his paratrooper training took place. To prepare them for the real thing, he and the other men strapped on their chutes and hurled themselves off towers, then they were carried aloft in a C-47.
"It was my first plane ride and my first jump," Venditti said.
Guys who hesitated or outright refused to make the leap of faith were quickly washed out, but Venditti did what he was told.
"It was scary," he said. "Like I tell everybody, I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane."
From Georgia he went by ship to England for an additional eight months of training, including parachuting at night.
What their training finally would lead up to was, like so much of Overlord, a closely guarded secret.
"We never knew where we were going until the last minute," he said. "We found out Normandy was our objective and it would be a night jump, which frightened us."
Lost on foreign soil
Paratroopers studied aerial photographs of Sainte Marie-du-Mont, near the Normandy beaches where troops would land, specifically one that would be called Utah. They closely examined photos of a church that was to be their rendezvous point.
Allied commanders had timed Overlord to coincide with a full moon, which would have given pilots and paratroopers a better view of their targets.
"We thought we would be jumping under moonlight, but it clouded over," Venditti said.
Their planes encountered heavy anti-aircraft fire, forcing pilots to take evasive maneuvers.
"It looked like the Fourth of July," he said of the flak from German 88 mm guns trying to knock Allied aircraft out of the sky.
They wound up missing their jump target, with paratroopers scattered over the countryside. With a map, Venditti tried to get help from a farmer in finding his way, but the obvious language barrier didn't make it easier. Venditti was able to determine he was 11/2 miles from where he was supposed to be.
Trying to gain his bearings in the dark and on foreign soil, he tried to keep his wits about him and focus on his objective.
"Mostly you think about yourself, you think about surviving," he said.
Making his way to the rendezvous point, he and other soldiers discovered some paratroopers had landed atop a German encampment, and some became ensnared in trees and were shot, Venditti said.
"We had to go later and cut them down," he said. "The boys that were hanging in the trees that were killed; to this day that still bothers me."
But Venditti said paratroopers accomplished their mission of disrupting and derailing German efforts to muster more men and equipment to counter the Allied invasion.
"We kept 'em busy all night," he said.
Bombers were to begin dropping their payloads at 6 a.m., and then Navy warships began shelling, which was the signal for paratroopers to move up toward the beach, Venditti said.
"I'll never forget the first guy who came up" from Utah, who was part of the 4th Infantry Division, Venditti said.
"He said, 'Boy, am I glad you're here,' and I told him 'You got it all wrong, I'm glad you're here because I'd be stuck behind enemy lines.' "

The earnings season has been a mixed bag so far. Mark commented about it on CNBC yesterday morning and the fact that IV is not really taking off. VXX is making year lows today and the IV in the SVXY (Pro Shares Short VIX futures ETF) is making a 52 week low today. Even with VIX cash up the VIX futures compressed a bit. The only thing cheaper than the IV is the realized volatility clocking in a at 7.27 for the SPX. The low volatilities seem to set a table for something higher down the road but we will need a catalyst. The earnings season has not provided one and the muted movement is having an effect on the skew in FB.
Besides a slight scare from the Speaker of the House today, the market rallied in fine style. It could not break out over 1422 on the SPX but most of the market did well. Volatility did come down a touch too as the short end of the market started to catch up with what the longer end of the volatility market has been doing. It looks like we are setting up for a rally to the end of the year as long as some sort of something comes out of Washington. We would have a nice Hollywood moment if the politicians got it together before Christmas. Wishful thinking anyway and I won't bet too heavily on it.
Two years into the Euro Crisis and the only thing I have to show for it is a joke. How long does it take a Euro Finance minister to screw in a light bulb? Two years and counting…. Anyways, the strange state of the equity markets usually spill out into the volatility markets, and today was not a whole lot different.
The market is getting the flush this evening, as JP Morgan announces trading losses coming out of their CIO (Chief Investment Office). It was widely reported that this group was, pretty much, single-handedly crushing the insurance market for name CDS and other similar securities in the 1st quarter of 2012. Now it appears that the risk management office in the bank sold a little too much prior to the recent upswing in volatility. This is probably a good time to review "synthetics" (what JPM said they had on) and "selling volatility", which, somewhere, it is assumed they are long.
After hours, JPM stock looks down around $3. In an iffy market like this, it won't take much to have that crater- like opening market participants are getting used to.

Back in October of 2007 I blogged about the launch of the Kerberos Consortium and how Centrify was a "Founding Sponsor" of the Kerberos Consortium, joining fellow sponsors and supporters such as industry vendors Google, Sun and Apple in supporting this important initiative. Since then a number of universities and US government agencies (e.g. NASA and the DOD) have joined the Consortium, but probably the biggest news of late is that Microsoft has also signed up as a Founding Sponsor and joined the Consortium's Executive Board.
For me this is significant for a number of reasons, namely
(a) when you have industry giants such as Google, Sun, Apple and Microsoft (representing 95% of all desktops out there and probably over 60% of all servers) involved in this Consortium, there is now consensus that this is the forum to make things happen with respect to the future of Kerberos. As a founding sponsor of the Kerberos Consortium, Centrify is pleased to be able to get a up close "pulse" on the direction of Kerberos, collaborate with these other large vendors regarding interoperability, and help contribute to the future of Kerberos. Centrify is the only vendor that focuses on cross-platform (e.g. 110+ flavors of UNIX, Linux and Mac) authentication leveraging Kerberos to participate in the Kerberos Consortium.
(b) it shows Microsoft's continued and growing desire as of late to work with the open source community and industry consortiums around interoperability, as one of the goals of the Kerberos Consortium is to ensure interoperability and compatibility across vendors. [Side note: I am surprised that the folks at Port25 are not using this as another example of Microsoft's outreach efforts.]
So why does Microsoft even care about Kerberos? Because starting with Windows 2000, Microsoft bundled Kerberos as part of the Windows platform, with Active Directory domain controllers not only supporting LDAP but also playing the part of a Key Distribution Center (KDC). Microsoft implemented its own version of Kerberos but obviously leveraged the innovation that the inventors of Kerberos at MIT created and submitted to the IETF standards body. [For an overview of what Kerberos is, read the first section of my blog entry on the Future of Kerberos.]
Because Kerberos is turned on and utilized by default in the Windows platform, clearly the Windows platform represents a huge chunk of the systems actively running Kerberos, and Microsoft to their credit has probably done the most of any OS vendor to unlock the value of Kerberos (i.e. integrating Kerberos and LDAP into a distributed authentication infrastructure that is the foundation of Active Directory). As we all know there are many out there that like to beat up Microsoft regarding security, but it is ironic that Microsoft by default delivers the added security of Kerberos as part and parcel of the Windows platform while Kerberos is turned off by default in the *nix world.
This adoption of Kerberos by Microsoft led to a market opportunity for Centrify. One of the motivations behind our DirectControl solution is enabling the use of Kerberos in the non-Microsoft world much like Microsoft has provided that capability by default in the Windows platform. We do it by integrating the Windows and non-Windows world together with Kerberos acting as one of the key underlying technology that enables that integration to occur (LDAP is another example). Centrify DirectControl supports strong Kerberos-enabled Active Directory authentication and single sign-on for over 110 operating system versions of Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X systems. Centrify DirectControl effectively turns a non-Microsoft server, workstation or device into an Active Directory client, enabling an organization to secure that system using the same authentication, access control and Group Policy services currently deployed for its Windows systems.
DirectControl also enables Kerberos-based authentication to the most popular J2EE and web application servers including Apache, JBoss/Tomcat, BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere. In addition, databases such as Oracle and IBM DB2 as well as enterprise applications such as SAP can take advantage of the Kerberos-based Active Directory integration provided by Centrify leveraging the GSSAPI interface to provide end users with strong single sign-on authentication. Finally, as a convenience for customers, Centrify has a resource center where customers can download precompiled binaries and documentation for a number of popular Open Source applications such as OpenSSH, PuTTY and telnet that have been Kerberos-enabled by Centrify to work seamlessly with Active Directory.
It is great to see that this three-headed dog is barking quite nicely with strong support from vendors such as Microsoft, Google, Apple and Sun as well as innovative up-and-coming vendors such as Centrify.

ITSS manages technology in all general-purpose classrooms on campus. Funding for these classrooms comes from student technology fees and the ITSS recurring budget.
Academic units control some special-purpose classrooms on campus. Technology for these classrooms is funded by the academic unit using collegiate technology fees or other collegiate budgets.
Units that control special-purpose classrooms are encouraged to work with ITSS to provide technology services in these rooms. ITSS can provide the best equipment repair or replacement services if we have been involved in the purchase and installation of that equipment. ITSS will provide spares of standard equipment when needed. ITSS staff have many years of experience designing technology enhanced classrooms and have learned important lessons along the way. Take advantage of our expertise to assist you in creating a functional instructional space.
Please note the following disadvantages of working independently of ITSS. If you choose equipment that is different from what ITSS recommends, ITSS staff may have difficulty assisting you with trouble shooting. If the equipment is broken, the vendor repair process may take several months to complete. Vendors typically do not provide replacement equipment during this process.
Services Provided by ITSS
Room Design & Layout
ITSS staff will work with your unit to design layout of teaching station, screens, projector and other classroom equipment. First estimates from ITSS are free, but subsequent estimates may be billed. If ITSS needs to work with another department, e.g. Facilities Management, that portion of the estimate may be billed by the other department.
Equipment Purchase & Installation
ITSS and Facilities Management staff will coordinate the planning and installation of network and electrical work needed in the classroom. ITSS staff will help you select the equipment you need for your classroom. Our staff will purchase, accept delivery of, set up, and install equipment for you. ITSS staff time and equipment purchased for special-purpose classrooms will be billed to collegiate budgets.
Standard equipment ITSS installs in classrooms:
- Ceiling mounted computer projector:
- Teaching podium with installed:
- Classroom control system
- Electrical power
- Network, laptop and projector connections
- Screen(s)
Other options may be added as determined by department needs.
Projector contract pricing:
ITSS has access to purchase projectors for a substantial discount through a University wide contract. We have been asked to manage any purchases on this contract. These are the projectors we install in all general purpose classrooms on campus and make available for checkout.
To take advantage of the contract price contact Jason Davis by:
- Phone 726-8782
- Email firstname.lastname@example.com
Ongoing Support
We recommend an annual cleaning and general checkup for each piece of equipment. This takes approximately 15 minutes per device and is charged according to our hourly consulting rate. Periodic checks for battery replacement and proper operation of equipment are included in this rate.
ITSS will assist you when your equipment needs repair or replacement. ITSS staff can repair some equipment. For other equipment, including most projectors, repairs require that the machine be sent back to the company. ITSS staff will work with you to diagnose a problem and oversee the repair, whether they do it here or send it to the company. All repair work, including bulb replacement, will be billed. ITSS will provide spares of standard equipment when needed (based on availability) for up to two weeks at no charge.
Participation in the University insurance program for electronic equipment is strongly recommended in order to have stolen equipment replaced at a reasonable cost (usually a $500 deductible). This program is announced each year, at which time lists of insured equipment are updated. The ITSS contact for the University insurance program is Steve Patterson (firstname.lastname@example.com, 726-8785).
We recommend that equipment be locked in a podium or cabinet. Ceiling-mounted projectors can be secured to the mount. Access to the cabinet or podium containing equipment is essential to ITSS support, therefore key access to all equipment under ITSS support will be added to our AV master key.
ITSS staff will be happy to negotiate installation and monitoring costs with our outside vendor for security systems when extra security is needed (and with Facilities Management when conduit is required). Installation costs depend upon the project, and monitoring is billed monthly by the vendor. ITSS staff will supervise installation and provide 24 X 7 response when the vendor reports a problem. ITSS response will be billed on a per-incident basis.

Some explicit song lyrics may be linked to sexual activity among teens, according to a study by the University of Pittsburgh.
Researchers compared the lyrics of music that teens listened to and their sexual behaviour.
Overall, 31 percent of the teens in the study had sexual intercourse.
Of the teens having sex, 44.6 percent listened to degrading lyrics.
And of those teens who were less exposed to the lyrics, only 20.6 percent had sex.
A lead researcher said it is not the music itself causing sexual behavior but it does help mold the perception and is therefore a "likely" factor in sexual development.

Conferences: A Cheat Sheet
No matter where and what conference I attend, there are always similarities among the writers. I've gotten quite good at knowing who is ready for publication and who still needs time to find their voice, as eager as they may be. Of course, the best times are when writers surprise me.
In 2011, I wrote a post on how to pitch to an agent at conferences, or rather, how not to pitch. Since then I've been to a lot more conferences and met a lot more writers. More than just pitching to an agent, here are a few tips to keep in mind when attending a writer's conference:
1. You Will Not Leave a Conference With an Offer of Representation
OK, I'll say you will very very rarely get an offer of rep at a conference because I'm sure there have been exceptions to this rule somewhere. But, 99.9% of the time, you will not get this offer at the actual conference. Going to a conference based on who the faculty will be is great, but keep in mind that even if your dream agent (which you should not have!) attends, he or she still needs to read your work before making an offer. Your pitch, premise, and overall demeanor could be perfect all weekend, and you may even make a personal connection with the agent of your choice, but that doesn't mean we can magically pull a contract out of our back pockets. Your job is to pitch your project to an agent. Even if they say "yes," that "yes" is usually followed by "send me your query and sample pages." I've had writers stare at me blankly even after I told them to send me material, as if they expected more from me. Do you really want an agent who doesn't even read your work first? No.
2. A Conference is For Learning
Meeting agents and editors is great, but the main reason to attend a conference is to learn. Conferences provide more than just pitch sessions. Agents and editors often critique work, and the organizers of the conference offer several excellent seminars and workshops for writers to attend. It's about learning the craft, learning the business, and learning that just because you finished your novel doesn't mean it's ready for publication.
3. Writer-Friends Are Valuable
Regional conferences are the best way to meet other writers in your area. Your friends and family can provide all the support in the world, and a few of them may even be skilled enough to read your work objectively. But writer-friends? They are a special breed. They can turn into Real Friends, but unlike your non-writer friends, they know exactly what you're going through. They're going through it too. They know what writer's block is; they know what querying is like; they know the hell that is the revision process. Having them in close proximity means you can also get offline and grab a drink (or a cupcake) with them, which is just as important as sharing your work sometimes.
4. No One is Forcing You to Attend a Conference
Conferences are expensive. Organizers need to pay for the location, provide meals, cover travel and hotel costs for faculty, and a lot of other minor expenses that add up. That means you, the writer, have to pay to attend. You get quite a bit for your money, but it's still your money. Remember that you volunteered it for the opportunity to be there. It's amazing how many writers yawn their way through seminars, become defensive over critiques, and ask questions such as "what good is an agent anyway?" during Q&A sessions. It makes one wonder, why are you even here???
5. Agents and Editors are People Too
Please treat us with respect. This post at From the Write Angle is one to bookmark and memorize about this point. Also, understand that the time to pitch your book is not when we are chewing our food or going to the bathroom. Thanks. :)
How many of you have attended writer's conferences? What do you wish you knew about them before you attended that you know now?
16 comments:
Great points, especially about it being a learning experience. Critiques are a huge help at these events. One thing I didn't know going into SCBWI was how much of a difference getting involved and working events would make: writer friends, critique partners, being a part of the conference process. It really opened up an opportunity to build relationships and learn from others.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips here. So many people attend conferences without knowing what they want to get out of them--and that's key. Go with goals in mind, provided the goal isn't "have an agent contract in hand as I pull out of my parking space." Good goals: make 3 new writer friends; share a brief chat with 2 agents you're interested in; attend and write up notes to sessions that can give you real information. And so on.
ReplyDeleteI've been to one conference so far. I am amazed at the number of people who didn't have any way to take notes. In one workshop, the unpublished writer was arguing with the faculty, who had a bazillion books traditionally published. *shakes head*
I've been to five Pitchapaloozas put on by The Book Doctors (you pitch to a panel of agents and publishers). There, people would leave as soon as they finished their pitch. Whaaa? Also, as soon as the event was over, they'd bolt for the doors. Fully three quarters have no stomach for the meet and greet afterwards.
Hello! This is your great, grand chance to meet an agent up close, in person! You might get a chance to pitch a paragraph or so, or get a card, or ask a question. And you walk out! Some folks have spent serious coin to even attend--I want to be the last one out of there. When you attend any kind of writer/author event, suck all the wisdom you can out of the professionals there.I've never been to a writer's conference, but want to rectify that. There's a few writer's groups here in the Tulsa area (where I live) that meet to give peer feedback, but they always seem to meet when I'm otherwise busy. I've typically been very private about my writing and only recently starting sharing portions of my novel with friends. Having a blog helped me gauge what kind of interest people would have in my writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pointers you elaborately shared. It is good to hear from experienced writer the insights for use now or as future reference. It is really important to have the correct mindset in attending the conference and your inputs will surely be guiding for many writers out here. Keep up on helping with others to cope with their chosen field.
PhD in FinanceWonderful blog & good post.Its really helpful for me, awaiting for more new post. Keep Blogging!
Go to Meeting ConferenceAttending a writer's conference once a year is about right for me. Some people just click when they meet. You might even click with an agent. They may offer to let you send a manuscript to them when they don't usually accept submissions. Go there alert. You get all kinds of help from all kinds of places. I was once sharing with a peer (another writer) about what we were writing and an agent overheard the conversation and asked me some questions and finally said, "Send me that one. I'd like to look at it. It sounds interesting." It was not the manuscript I was there to pitch. It was a fortunate coincidence that I was sharing about it when I was.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this post.I hope you will post again soon.Kind regard Glass protection net india
ReplyDeleteThanks for the guide.Very useful and informative.great job done keep posting more!!
Custom Logo DesignWhat a helpful post. Thank you. I appreciate your comments and the post from "Write Angle" about seeing agents as humans. What's funny/ ironic/ irritating is I so see agents as human, I don't want to bother them because I respect their space. I see this poor, swarmed soul and back off. Obviously something to work on, so I'll do my best to say, "Hi" at a conference in May!
ReplyDeleteI can see that you are putting a lot of time and effort into your site and detailed articles! I am deeply in love with every single piece of information you post here!

Funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the ORCID Adoption and Integration Program provides external funding for universities and science and social science professional associations to integrate ORCID identifiers, supports the collaborative elicitation and documentation of use cases and open source code, and establishes a collaborative venue for disseminating best practices.
After a competitive solicitation, the following nine projects were awarded grants:
- Boston University, to directly integrate ORCID into the upcoming release of Profiles, available to 30+ institutions using this researcher profile platform; expand adoption beyond faculty to postdocs, graduate students and undergrads; and establish a Wiki to support ORCID resource sharing.
- Cornell University, for integration into the VIVO open source researcher profiling system, first at Cornell and then in VIVO source code available to other VIVO users
- University of Notre Dame, for integration of ORCID identifiers into the UND Institutional Repository (IR) and creation of a Hydra ORCID Integrator Plug-in that can be re-used by any Project Hydra institution implementing the Hydra stack/Fedora Commons open source IR tool.
- Purdue University, for integration of ORCID identifiers into HUBzero open source platform for supporting research collaboration, including research data life cycle management, open educational resources, and data archival and citation support. The integration will be piloted on three different HUBzero instances: nanoHUB, the Purdue University Research Repository (PURR), and HABRI Central and integration source code will be available to the other 50+ institutions using HUBzero.
- Reactome, for integration of ORCID identifiers into an international biological pathways knowledge base data center.
- Society for Neuroscience, for integration of ORCID identifiers into its Association Management System (AMS) (Personify) to support management of information about its 42,000 members.
- Texas A&M University, for integrating ORCID identifiers into the open source Vireo electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) workflow, the university's digital repository, and the internally-used VIVO profile system. TAMU will develop outreach materials for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers and will disseminate project outcomes to the ETD and repository communities.
- University of Colorado, for integration of ORCID identifiers into their Faculty information System (FIS) to support access and reporting at CUBoulder and CU-Colorado Springs; support the FIS publication data ingest process using Symplectic Elements and other sources; and share ORCID iDs through SPARQL endpoint with the American Psychological Association.
- University of Missouri, for integration of ORCID identifiers into the DSpace open source institutional repository application (in collaboration with @mire) and the UM MOSpace institutional repository, and for development and testing of graduate student outreach materials.
Grantees began their ORCID integration projects in Fall 2013 and presented on their prototype integrations at the Spring 2014 ORCID Outreach Meeting in Chicago on May 21-22, 2014. Slides and video recordings are available online from that event.
Partnering institutions will:
- Complete their integrations by September 2014
- Share integration source code and lessons learned with the ORCID community through our GitHub open source repository.
- Document use cases and share with the community
- Serve as reference sites for organizations planning similar integrations.
To support these projects, ORCID is committed to providing a supportive development environment for Adoption and Integration program participants. In addition to direct grant funds, ORCID is providing:
- In-person support to elicit use cases
- Priority technical and development support to ensure the ORCID system supports integration use cases
- Opportunities for program participants to directly collaborate through regular interactions with each other and the ORCID team.
ORCID aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in research and scholarly communications by providing a registry of persistent unique identifiers for individual researchers and, through embedding in key workflows, links between ORCID, other ID schemes, and research works. Adoption of ORCID by the research community enhances discovery and reporting processes by supporting systems interoperability.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ruby!
Facts about Ruby
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Ruby's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
An unbelievably charming yound lady. Her foster mon says she is a star. Loves to play and be held.
Other Pets at The Little Cats' Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ruby, a Elfers Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Elfers, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Elfers.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elfers 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 Elfers 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 Elfers paves the way for another one to be saved.
