"A Silent Nite" in Elizabethton Staff Reports email@example.com Bad Weather Cause an A True Friend Elizabethton High By Joe Sulder Have you ever had a true friend? School Student to Lose Most of us think we do. But do we really? I Control of SUV know a lot of people but I don't have many true friends. If you can go through life and Donald J. Treadway have two or three true May 26, 1941 � Dec. 7, 2010 friends you are lucky. I lost one of my real friends this past week. A man I have known for a long time. I worked for and with this man and I feel very lucky to have called him a friend. The man I am talking about is "Donald Treadway" or "Don-o" as I called him. He served 28 years on the County Commission. He was a professional photographer for most of his life. He probably has taken your photo or at least someone in your family's photo. He was a great person, husband, father, and grandfather. He would come by about once a week and talk about football, basketball, and golf. Especially golf, he loved golf. Don was taken from us way too early and he will be deeply missed by a lot of people. All our prayers go out to his family. Dono thanks for all the memories.

And, remember God love you and I do too. Mae's Corner By Tiger Francis Pondering in thought, I often find myself debating the pros and cons of Facebook. One day, I am ready to pull off, maybe it is a waste of my time, I think. Then too, sometimes, folk can be really nasty to one another (like family or husband and wives, do I not have pain already without extending it, I ask myself. ) However, a few days later I find some great merit that will keep me reading and posting. Today, I saw it with a totally new light of thought. I realized I have kept a journal most of my life until lately I had stopped doing so or had I? I ask myself, "Self, has not Facebook become your journal?" Is not FB a journal for most of us? I post a thought of my own site, or I reflection on someone else's thoughts, or I jot down what I have done for the day and make some comment about it. For years I taught journal writing. I always began the class by reminding my students that research shows 97 % of all highly successful people(presidents, inventors, writers, poets, etc) kept a journal. Yet, findings show only 2% of the general public actually keep a journal (at least when the research was done that was the case). Then we would break into a discussion as to why journal writing might produce a groups of highly successful people. With Facebook, and internet blogging one wonders if perhaps that number of journal writers has gone up and if so does that mean more successful people. After all, sharing your journals benefits not just you but others too, with our minds each provides sparks for the others minds. I am reading a book today on how to keep the mind young and more intelligent. It is called Mozart's Brain Unleashing your Brains' Potential. New York Times calls it a personal trainer for your brain. Beside showing Facebook, is it Possible It Keeps Your Mind Young? God Loves you and I do too -Mae Pierson the latest research findings on what keeps a brain young. It has many suggested activities for both raising the IQ and for preventing dementia. Reading a lot and working puzzles are both on the list along with many games to play with your mind. But writing too is listed as good for the brain. It suggests writing down 5 words and then listing everything that comes to you mind with each word. I realized that this is exactly what I do when I read a quote on another's site. I make comments about what comes to my mind as a result. Today a friend wrote this What is there to lose? What is there to gain? If we gain something, it was there from the beginning. If we lose anything, it is hidden nearby. ~ Ryokan I was not sure what the person had in mind by this thought but suddenly it provoked some thoughts of my own. "Who is to say what lose or gain are. How many times have I thought I gained something but it turned out not so good after all like the hybrid car that got 60 miles to the gallon but then nearly killed me when it speeded up on its own and the brakes would not stop. I had it less than a year and sold it taking a great loss, or take the time some other gal took my fellow, boo hoo. But yippee, it turned out to be the greatest blessing in all the world. I found a better guy than the one I lost. And my second thought on this quote was: In reality is not all gain and loose actually a gain if it teaches us something about ourselves or even maybe a loss, if we refuse to learn from it.The bottom line is Facebook teaches us to think, reflect, perhaps to even grow if we choose too. and maybe it keeps the mind young. ~~Tiger Francis Quote For Today: Those who get too big for their britches, will be exposed in the end. Psalm 100, verse 1 reads: Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. I always interpreted that to mean anything in the form of music. And it is, but it could also mean any kind words you might say to someone. If you say a kind word to someone, pay them a compliment, or tell them some good news; that is a joyful noise to them. When you're in a check-out line, with a buggy full of items, and you notice the person behind you only has one or two items, so you tell them to go ahead of you, that's a joyful noise. Sometimes you may pass someone and smile at them and say Hi, that's a joyful noise. Think about it. I had an email this week from a lady named Shirley. She wanted to know if I had any good recipes for Christmas. The first one I thought of, was Cherry- Coke Salad. It's a nice color for the Christmas season. The ingredients are: 1 large (or 2 small) box Cherry Jello, (or Raspberry, Cranberry, etc) 1 (20 ounce can) Crushed Pineapple 8 ounce pkg. cream cheese (softened) 16 ounce jar Maraschino Cherries (chopped) 1 Cup Chopped Pecans 12 ounces (or 1 and 1/2 cups) Coke cola (I use Dr. Pepper) Drain the juice from cherries and set cherries aside. Dissolve Jello in heated Cherry juice and pineapple. Stir in softened cream cheese while warm. Keepstirring until smooth. Chill just until mixture starts to thicken. Add choppedpecans and chopped cherries. Add cola last. Pour into mold or a long dish(13" X 9") and chill. You may Aunt Bertha's House also decorate the top with pecan halves. Once you try this recipe, it will soon become a fav o r i t e Christmas goody. Another Holiday favorite is TURKEY DRESSING. Ingredients are: 2 Eggs (slightly beaten) 1 Cup Milk 3 Cups Cornbread Crumbs 3 Cups Wheat bread Crumbs 1/2 Cup Chopped Onions 1/2 Cup Chopped Celery 1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts (I use Black Walnuts) 1/2 teaspoon Salt 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper 2 Tablespoons Sage 1/2 pound Pork Sausage Fry sausage just good & done, but not hard. Drain off grease and set aside. Beat eggs; Add all ingredients, making sure to add crumbed up sausage last. Add 3 Cups of turkey or chicken broth. Mix well. If you're going to stuff the dressing in the bird, use less broth; Otherwise, pour into long baking dish, & bake at 300 degrees, until done. Yum, Yum. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE EASTERN SKY JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON ARE YOU READY FOR HIS RETURN? Bye now, until next time, Aunt Bertha Send emails to: email@example.com Weekends with Rowe THE LAW IS THE LAW So Be It! I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day. I'd like the " US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just another day. I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas break." After all it's just another day. I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct." In fact.... I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God....) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day.... What do you all think???? If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the "minority opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the "majority" of ALL of the American people. SO BE IT........... So " if " the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it. And " if " that same government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it. I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen. I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think that those people have the American public's best interests at heart. BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE? Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings , I don 't believe the Government (Federal, State and Local) and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life. T'was the night before Christmas, He lived All...alone, In a One Bedroom House - made of Plaster and Stone. I had came Down the Chimney with Presents to give, And... to see just Whom in this Home.. did live.I looked All about, a Strange sight.. I did see, No Tinsel, No Presents.. Not even a Tree. No Stocking by Mantle, just Boots filled with Sand... On the wall hung Pictures of a Far Distant Land. With Medals and Badges, Awards of All Kinds.. A sober thought - came across my mind. For... This house was Different, All Dark and Dreary... I Found the Home of a Soldier, After.. I seen it Clearly. The Soldier lay Sleeping, Silent and Alone... Curled up on the Floor, in this One Bedroom Home. His Face was So.. Gentle, the room in such .. Disorder, Not how I'd Pictured a United States ... Soldier. Is this the Hero of Whom I'd just Read?Curled up on a Poncho, The floor for a Bed? I Realized... The Families that I saw this Night,Owed.. Their lives to these Soldiers... whom were willing to .. Fight! Soon 'round the World, the Children would - play, And... Grownups would T'was the night before... Merry Christmas! It was magic, you believed, no matter how cold it was, you never got cold, no matter how deep the snow, you wanted to be out in it, a marvelous world, you were allowed to believe, and dream, and wish, and place your hope in a power, or person, who, in your mind, existed, that the world could not control. You woke up on Christmas morning, and glory of glories, Santa had paid you a visit. No one tried to talk you out of your magic world, you were allowed to let your mind be free. Oh, was'nt it wonderful. The magic! Thats whats missing! Our lives have been subjected, to our own personal limitations. Its OK to be content with such things as you have, but don't stop dreaming. The Bible says many of the heroes of the Faith, died, having never received their dream, but they died, still dreaming. You want to find it easier to get up in the morning, have something you are looking forward to. It will make you a different person. A merry heart does good for you, like a medicine. All because you dared to desire. It is important to talk about your dreams, that keeps them alive. Your wife, your chil- From Chaplain Ron Celebrate.. a Bright Christmas Day. We've All... enjoyed Freedom - each month of the year, Because... Of the Soldiers, Like ..the one Lying here. I couldn't help Wonder - How many Lay.. alone, On a Cold.. Christmas Eve, in a Land - far from Home. The very Thought.. brought a Tear to my Eye... I dropped to my Knees, And... started to Cry. The Soldier, awakened and I heard a Rough Voice, 'Santa, Don't Cry... This life is - my Choice! I Fight for Freedom, I don't ask for More...My Life is my GOD, my Country.. my Corps' The Soldier rolled over and Drifted to Sleep..I couldn't Control it, I continued to Weep. I wept for hours, So...

The Soldier rolled over, with a Voice, Soft and Pure, Whispering...... Carry on 'Santa, It's Christmas Day.. All is Secure' One look at my watch, I knew he was Right... Merry Christmas my Friend... GOD Bless, And... Good Night! Written by 'Santa dren, by example, help them to dream. I talk to the young people at the schools, and they can be bold to say, I want to be this, or that, whatever it is they have decided for themselves. They are not afraid to dream, to look forward, to plan. I think our job, as the adults, is to encourage them to be all they can be in life. Help them to develope their dream, help them believe there is still magic in the world. God wants to help them with the desires of their hearts. Help them to desire, to dream, to purpose, to believe, and never give up on themselves. There are no losers in the Kingdom of God, only quitters. Don't give up. I believe the greatest gift we could give to each other this Christmas, is a new spirit. Have the kind of spirit that your wife, your husband, your children, enjoy being around. Have the kind of spirit that makes the rest of the family look forward to coming home. Have the kind of spirit that makes it easier to work together as a community. Be the magic, that changes every part of the world, you touch. Carry the spirit of Christmas, as far through the New Year, as you can, dare to give, the new you, as a gift, to your family, friends, and community. Merry Christmas, Peace on Earth, through the Holy Child, Jesus. Gazette * Page 3 Good News Fellowship Church Bluff City, TN 37618 1684 Weaver Branch Pastor. Rev. Jamie Ferguson Rd.

By Kate Stafford It's cold! It's more than cold!! I dread seeing our electric bill this month and I'm sure a lot of other people do as well. I have to admit that when it's cold and dreary I often feel a little down and blue. No, it doesn't last very long, but still, sometimes the darkness seems to loom; those are the times I feel myself crawling into my little hole where I want to hide for a while. I want to be alone, keep to myself and wait until the sun comes out again. I used to wonder if other people get this type of depression, the kind that happened on these dreary days. Actually, after doing a little research, I found out that "SAD" or Seasonal Affective Disorder, affects around 6 of every 10 people in America. Most of them are adult women although men are affected as well. This disorder is also known as the "Winter Blues" although a small percentage of people have some type of depression in the late Spring and Summer. At least I found out I wasn't alone with this I am trying to learn how to deal with things differently . I am learning to go to my "happy place" and leave my cares there...leave them with God and NOT take them back. It is difficult for some people � like me - but I am trying to re-learn some things that I have done for over 40 years. It's a slow progress, but the Lord will get me through..He always does. Here is a poem I found that also encourages me when I get the "Winter Blues." God Gets Me Through HOW THE LORD SUSTAINS Christian, when thy way seems darkest, When thine eyes with tears are dim, Straight to God thy Father hastening, Tell thy troubles all to Him. Not to human ear confiding Thy sad tale of grief and care, But before thy Father kneeling, Pour out all thy sorrows there. Sympathy of friends may cheer thee, When the fierce wild storms have burst,But God only can console thee, When it breaks upon thee first. Go with words or tears or silence, Only lay thee at His feet: Thou shalt prove how great His pity, And His tenderness how sweet. Far too well thy Savior loves thee To allow thy life to be One long, calm, unbroken summer, One unruffled, stormless sea. He would have thee fondly nestling Closer to His loving breast; He would have that world seem brighter,Where alone is perfect rest. Though His wise and loving purpose Clearly yet thou may'st not see, Still believe with faith unshaken, All will work for good to thee. Therefore, when thy way is gloomy And thine eyes with tears are dim, Straight to God thy Father hastening, Tell thy sorrows all to Him. That poem helps remind me that God can get me through even the darkest days I face. He can do that for you, too, if you'll let him. I pray each of you have a wonderful week ahead and that you all stay warm and safe. We all need to remind our children that Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Thanks for reading! Til next time,Kate KCB Consultings Stacie Ciferno and Paul Kaldy, together with their families, are pleased to announce their engagement. Wedding date is set for January 1st, 2011 In Mercer, PA. Engagement and Wedding Announcement By Greg Miller Miss MerciMae, a fifth-grade teacher, asked the youngsters in her class to write a poem that described their feelings about winter. Marcus Mason penned the following poem, which won first place in the contest. Once upon a time in the heart of the South Lived Icicle Snowflake, who had a real big mouth."Look at me," she seemed to say, As she gleamed and glistened with each new day. She shone in the sun and the blistering wind. Her shimmering beauty could never offend. She was sent by her maker to make people see That creation's beauty God designed to be. "God gave me my shape; He gave me my form. "I'm very unique, but I came with the storm. "My true worth can't be measured or weighed. "Except on the earth when a canvas I made." "God is the artist, and He uses His paint "To make things beautiful, and also so quaint. "I'm just a mere snowflake, but He in His plan "Has a purpose for me, and a purpose for man." "The plan for us both is to honor our maker. "All of us are to be movers and shakers. "Lifting our voices real high to the sky, "We'll praise the Creator `till the day that we die." "Your poem was very eloquent, Marcus Mason," Miss MerciMae bragged to the class. "Thanks, Miss MerciMae," said Marcus Mason. "I believe the Lord has given me a talent for writing poetry, and I want to use it to Youngster writes poem about snowflake honor and glorify Him." I'm going to give you an opportunity to use that talent in your homework," said Miss MerciMae. "From now on, I challenge you to complete all of your homework assignments in the form of poetry. For each assignment that you complete in poetry form, I`ll add 10 points to your grade." "Thanks, Miss MerciMae," said Marcus Mason. "That's very nice of you to do that." "I just want to make sure that you really use your poetic ability as much as you can to honor God," said the teacher. Marcus Mason used poetry to complete all of his homework assignments. History was his favorite subject, and he thoroughly enjoyed using poetry as a learning tool. In a paper about the history of America, he wrote: "Throughout our history, in God was our trust, so in our future trust Him we must." For a current events class project, Marcus Mason wrote: "The roads are covered with ice and snow, and it's only by faith in God we can go!" Marcus Mason realized that God was in control of everything, but he realized he was responsible for studying and doing his homework. At the top of a test paper, he wrote: "O, Dear Lord, help my mind to recall everything I've studied. Help me remember it all!"

Beginning of Arbys Classic During the 1982 basketball season, the Tennessee High Vikings traveled to Louisville, Kentucky to play in the King of Bluegrass Tournament. After returning to Bristol, Coach Dale Burns discussed with then Athletic Director Bill Bingham the possibility of having a similar tournament to take advantage of Tennessee High's tremendous facility, Viking Hall. The original goals were to promote basketball in the region, and to expose the fans to outstanding players and teams in the country. The Arby's Classic has accomplished those goals and more. It has not only been a boost to basketball in Bristol and the region, it has been a boost to the area financially. Exciting teams and individual players resulting in packed houses have made the Arby's Classic one of the top high school basketball tournaments in the country. This is a tribute to Coach Dale Burn's astute selection of talented teams. Originally called the Mountain Empire Classic, the Arby's Classic has been sponsored by Arby's since it began. Don Shawl, President of Arbico East, Inc. has been instrumental in building the tournament into what it is today. His hard work in funding and planning the Arby's Classic has given the tournament that special edge in quality. Although many local groups have assisted in the growth the tournament, no organization has given more time than the Viking Booster Club. Approximately fifty people volunteer their time with many of them taking vacations from work just to be part of the Arby's Classic. Another group of people who have given special time to the development of the tournament is the T e n nessee H i g h Coaching Staff. The Te n n e s s e e High Staff gives up much of their Christmas vacation to assist with the tournament. Their dedication and hard work produce a class event with precision timing which appears to spectators to run effortlessly. Much of the credit for the growth of the Arby's Classic has to go to our local media. Several visiting coaches have made mention of the tremendous coverage in our area. This is a tribute to all media-newspapers, television and radio. In addition, tournament games can be heard live on local radio stations. Through the combination of these people, the Arby's Classic has become one of the most talked about high school basketball tournaments in the country, truly living up to its name as a classic.

30 August 2013 17:17 [Source: ICIS news]
(updates with comment from Total)
LONDON (ICIS)--Total is considering a "future project" at its Carling petrochemicals site in northeast France, a spokesperson for the French energy and petrochemicals major said on Friday.
However, Total spokeswoman Victoria Chanial would not comment on a press report that the company may be preparing to close its naphtha cracker at Carling.
"I can confirm that a work council meeting has been planned for 4 September" to discuss a "future project" at Carling, Chanial told ICIS.
"Under French law, I cannot give you further details," she added.
Business daily Les Echoes, citing a union official, reported earlier on Friday that Total may be preparing to close down the Carling cracker within the next two to three years.
According to ICIS's plant's and project's database, Total's Carling cracker has a capacity of 320,000 tonnes/year of ethylene. Four years ago, Total had already closed down an older cracker unit at Carling.

The cleric rolled the saving throws for the bird-man. He rolled low and knew he hit. He rolled high and knew he missed. He rolled a 12, and the hit/miss response from the DM came immidiatly, since he was already looking at the paper.
It was also done for defense. Rolling the to-hit for the monsters. Again, the fighter rolls low and knew he was missed, rolled high and knew he was hit. And with the DM having his sheet right in front of him, the response came immidiatly.
DM still rolled damage.
Unless the DM spends time memorizing all the monsters (like players tend to memorize their PC's), he needs to look it up every attack or defense from every monster. Removing the die roll from him ment less tmie juggling objects, and more story (or possibly just room for juggling other objects, like mini's)
And not only does it speed up the DM's side, the players are now more involved. As they get to participate on monster's turns.
DM: The monster swings at you, (thinking of numbers) 19 AC.
Player: Hits
DM: (thinking of numbers) 5 damage
Player: Ok.
DM: The monster swings at you, with a (thinking of discription).
Player: (rolling) that's a 19.
DM: 5 damage
Player: Ouch.
Overall the game went faster and more fluid, as well as feeling more dynamic.

Thought Switch Higher level build that grants upto 14 attacks on turn 1. If your allies play along, it's broken.
Elven Critters Crit op with crit generation. 5 of these will end anything. Broken.
King Fisher Optimized net user. Moderate.
Boominator Fun catch-22 booming blade build with either strong or completely broken damage depending on your reading.
Very Distracting Warlock Lot's of dazing and major penalties to hit. Overpowered.
Pocket Protector Pixie Stealth Knight. Maximizing the defender's aura by being in an ally's/enemy's square.
Yakuza NinjIntimiAdin: Perma-stealth Striker that offers a little protection for ally's, and can intimidate bloodied enemies. Very Strong.
Chargeburgler with cheese Ranged attacks at the end of a charge along with perma-stealth. Solid, could be overpowered if tweaked.
Void Defender Defends giving a penalty to hit anyone but him, then removing himself from play. Can get somewhat broken in epic.
Scry and Die Attacking from around corners, while staying hidden. Moderate to broken, depending on the situation.
Skimisher Fly in, attack, and fly away. Also prevents enemies from coming close. Moderate to Broken depending on the enemy, but shouldn't make the game un-fun, as the rest of your team is at risk, and you have enough weaknesses.
Indestructible Simply won't die, even if you sleep though combat. One of THE most abusive character in 4e.
Sir Robin (Bravely Charge Away) He automatically slows and pushes an enemy (5 squares), while charging away. Hard to rate it's power level, since it's terrain dependent.
Death's Gatekeeper A fun twist on a healic, making your party "unkillable". Overpowered to Broken, but shouldn't actually make the game un-fun, just TPK proof.
Death's Gatekeeper mk2, (Stealth Edition) Make your party "unkillable", and you hidden, while doing solid damage. Stronger then the above, but also easier for a DM to shut down. Broken, until your DM get's enough of it.
Domination and Death Dominate everything then kill them quickly. Only works @ 30, but is broken multiple ways.
Battlemind Mc Prone-Daze Protecting your allies by keeping enemies away. Quite powerful.
The Retaliator Getting hit deals more damage to the enemy then you receive yourself, and you can take plenty of hits. Heavy item dependency, Broken.
Dead Kobold Transit Teleports 98 squares a turn, and can bring someone along for the ride. Not fully built, so i can't judge the power.
Psilent Guardian Protect your allies, while being invisible. Overpowered, possibly broken.
Rune of Vengance Do lot's of damage while boosting your teams. Strong to slightly overpowered.
Charedent BarrageA charging ardent. Fine in a normal team, overpowered if there are 2 together, and easily broken in teams of 5.

Having fun in a 'Quest' for knowledge
Good things come in small packages. And sometimes they're just as good years later. So writes News Editor Jonathan Scott as he tells about the first set of Brain Quest cars his son received nearly 20 years ago. (August 30, 2012, Page 4)
Getting close to not-so-favorite things
Editor Don Whitten admits it – he's not a big fan of most of our bugs and worms and such. However, in the interest of education, he writes, he's helping with a school project that involves two well-known varieties – silkworms and pray mantises. (August 27, 2012, Page 4A)
Would student surveys really be that helpful?
Editor Don Whitten, after reading that it's been suggested that student surveys might be helpful in teacher evaluations, pondered how he and his friends would have answered questions about their teachers when they were growing up. (August 23, 2012, Page 4)
Meeting challenges in South Africa

Take a look before following Bush's ideas
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush recently urged Mississippi to follow the lead of his state in making changes in the education of children.

Gaming devices, other tech give rise to millennial maturity

Letters question group's efficiency
It's one thing to get a letter asking to be part of something you've had an ongoing or past relationship with. It's quite another, local columnist T.J.

Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
Thanks for your comments, caberg. You're right - I need to redo the Kindle formatting. The hard copy from CreateSpace is much better. I need to base the new Kindle edition on the pdf doc used by CreateSpace. No easy way to do that - the technology is quite new.
To clarify, it wasn't that I was "too ugly to get a mate," it was that I was "too short and fat to get a mate I would find appealing." Big difference! I don't think I'm ugly at all - but I have found (big surprise) pretty girls don't like fat guys the same height they are, at least if they're not millionaires.
I did feel this was vital to the story. First, if not for the repeated rejections I experienced in 2000 and 2001 (the drive-by rejection being an example) I would not have bought the boat. Second, I thought there was a nice degree of irony how my voyaging did not allow me to escape rejection, but instead sort of amplified it and even turned it around. To me, rejection and disappointment were intertwined with the core story of outfitting the vessel and actually making the voyage. I tried to be careful not to overdo the non-sailing part, but there will be differences of opinion as to how much was appropriate.
Best regards,
