Well I was driving my rusty at about 50+ (not top speed) and by the curb and I was looking at my car and not what was ahead. In my path was a big trash can on the street and I slammed into it, and broke my rear
a-arm tats it. What saved my car from being destroyed is........RPM bumper.
So I 110% recommend the RPM bumper.

PRLog - Dec. 21, 2011 - VICTOR, N.Y. -- L-Tron Corporation is pleased to announce the availability of the latest vehicle idle fuel management system control module from Havis. The IdleRight 2 is specially designed to save money and prevent pollution within the emergency response and public safety sectors by reducing engine wear and conserving fuel.
The IdleRight 2 conserves fuel
The technology behind the IdleRight 2 has proven to reduce fuel consumption, resulting in a reduction of operation expenses of up to 80% for public safety units. Emergency vehicle operators are faced with two choices upon arrival at an emergency scene. They can turn the vehicle off and run the electronic equipment on battery power – risking a dead battery at the end of an emergency call, or they can leave the vehicle running idle, burning expensive fuel for extended durations. With these factors in mind, vehicles that run light bars, radios, computers, and other electronic equipment for extended periods of time are well-served by utlizing the IdleRight 2, as the device monitors a vehicle's electrical system, starting the engine to recharge only when necessary.
The IdleRight 2 not only conserves fuel, but also extends the service life of emergency vehicles by preventing engines from running idle at low temperatures and leaving harmful fuel residue that increases engine and exhaust system wear and tear. The IdleRight 2 generates savings rapidly, as it works hand-in-hand with existing aftermarket starter technologies, including the VIPER Model 5101, Python Model 1401/1402P, Clifford Model 4203X, Avital Model 4113. Featuring a straightforward system, the IdleRight 2 does not require an expensive, time-consuming installation process.
In addition to the cost-saving benefits the IdleRight 2 provides, there are also environmental factors to consider. Many states are moving forward with legislation against anti-idling, as a means of decreasing air pollution from burning gas. The IdleRight 2 enables emergency response providers the opportunity to "go green" and help set the trend for other vehicles nationwide.
L-Tron partners with Havis to provide many other convenient, money saving products for the emergency response sector, including an extensive line of patrol vehicle equipment. For more information, please contact L-Tron today.

The streets of Bandung will now be more lively and passionate. The city's government, in cooperation with a big Indonesian company through its CSR programs, will provide free bus tour services for visitors to Bandung. Anyone visiting the city will be invited to welcome the presence of the bus service, christened as Bandros (Bandung Tour on Bus).
The name "Bandros" itself is unique for the city of Bandung. Bandros is actually a type of snack original of the region. It is a baked cake made of rice flour and grated coconut with a pinch of salt. It is an utterly delicious finger food, especially when accompanied by a cup of hot tea. The so-naming of the bus service only adds to the enjoyable characteristic known as typical to the city.
The titular "Bandros" is basically a vintage two-storeyed bus painted in flaming red, easily recognizable during the day and the night. It is modeled after the famous double-decker bus of the city of London with open deck on top. Designed for a maximum of 30 passengers, the bus is scheduled to depart from the Cikapundung street at the heart of the city. The bus will pass the Dago area, where the Sheraton Bandung Hotel & Towers is located. The service would especially cater for foreign and domestic tourists.
The double-decker bus is the first of its kind in Bandung. It was initially launched during the "Car Free Night" event on the New Year's Eve of 1 January 2014. Now Bandros can be enjoy with ticket IDR 10,000 per person. You may need to book it in advance to secure your seat since there's huge demand of Bandros, especially when it comes to school holiday or long weekend.

JJB Sports puts itself up for sale
- 30 August 2012
- From the section Business
Sports clothing and equipment chain JJB Sports has put itself up for sale after it failed to raise new funds to help revamp its stores.
JJB also warned shareholders that any rescue deal may see their holdings in the company rendered worthless.
In July, JJB said that sales had deteriorated owing to poor weather and weak demand for replica football kits during the European Championships.
The Wigan-based retailer has 180 stores and employs about 4,000 people.
Hurt by the economic downturn, it has also struggled to compete with rival Sports Direct.
JJB said that in the six weeks to 26 August, like-for-like sales had fallen by 3.3%.
Falling short
Earlier this year, JJB announced a £30m investment to help turn around the business, including £20m from US retailer Dick's Sporting Goods and £10m from existing shareholders.
However, earlier this month, shares in JJB sank by a quarter after Dick's Sporting Goods said it had in effect written off its entire investment.
In a statement, JJB said it had continued talks over fund-raising and the "restructuring of its store portfolio" to enable it to improve trading.
"However, following these discussions, the directors do not believe that the company will be able to raise the level of funds required to implement the turnaround," it said.
"As a result, the board has decided to conduct a formal sale process of the company."
JJB said it had debts of about £36m.
"Given the level of current debt within the company, there can be no assurance that any proposal or offer that may be made would attribute value to the ordinary shares of the company."
JJB's shares plunged following the announcement, dropping by almost two pence to 0.39p.
David McCorquodale, corporate finance partner at KPMG, who is leading the JJB sale process, said: "While it is very early days, I anticipate significant interest in the opportunity to acquire this leading multichannel authentic sports retailer.
"There is a real place on the British High Street for a retailer of performance gear for the sports enthusiast."

Mentallo (Marvin Flumm) is a fictional comic book supervillain, a mutant who appears in books published by Marvel Comics.
After having been fired for cause after attempting a covert S.H.I.E.L.D. takeover, he has since operated as both a freelance criminal and subversive and a high-ranking agent of HYDRA. He is usually depicted as using technology to increase his power.
Fictional character biography[edit]
Marvin Flumm was born in Watford City, North Dakota. He once worked as a shoe salesman. As a mutant telepath of moderate ability, Mentallo was recruited by the original S.H.I.E.L.D. as a candidate for their ESP Division. However, he teamed with the Fixer in an attempt to take over S.H.I.E.L.D., and clashed with Nick Fury for the first time.[1] He then served as a division leader in the HYDRA fragment led by Silvermane.[2] Mentallo teamed with the Fixer again, and they placed Deathlok under their control. They attempted to make the U.S. President their slave, but were thwarted by the Fantastic Four.[3] Mentallo and the Fixer were employed by HYDRA again, but Mentallo was rendered comatose by the Micronauts.[4] In the custody of Professor Power, Mentallo battled Professor X on a psychic plane.[5] Mentallo was captured by the Super-Adaptoid, impersonating the Fixer, but he was rescued by the Avengers.[6]
Under the name Think Tank, he was a member of the Resistants, which was originally an incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The Resistants opposed the Mutant Registration Act. As Think-Tank, he fought the then-current Captain America (John Walker).[7] He was imprisoned, and resumed his identity as Mentallo. He started a mass breakout at the Vault. However, his powers were briefly amplified and used by Iron Man to compel the escapees to surrender.[8] He then directed an unsuccessful attack on the Hulk and the Thing.[9] Mentallo later attended the A.I.M. weapons exposition.[10]
Mentallo once worked for the Red Skull and partnered with the Juggernaut in a successful attempt to brainwash the Hulk to attack the Avengers. Mentallo managed to mentally impersonate the Hulk's wife-killing father and bully him into submission.[11]
Shortly after the events of World War Hulk, Mentallo was among the members of Hood's Crime Syndicate.[12] He remained with them until they were defeated by the New Avengers.[13]
Some time after, Mentallo was hired by MODOK to be part of a supervillain heist squad. Due to his psychic powers, he realised MODOK was creating a psychic illusion of money to secure everyone's loyalty, and MODOK secretly told him the "full extent" of the plans would be revealed to him, and several other villains.[14] Mentallo quickly decided that instead he was going to sell the villain out to whoever stumped up the cash. After noticing the "Chameleon" had a telepathic shield and Spider-Man's powers and Spider-Sense, he went to him offering to betray MODOK's plans to the Avengers for cash. Unfortunately for Mentallo, it wasn't Spider-Man at all but A.I.M.'s Ultra-Adaptoid which incinerated him to protect its cover.[15] He was presumed dead, but Mentallo was revealed to be alive when he appeared at Ryker's Island to inform the Fantastic Four and S.H.I.E.L.D. about the New Defenders.[volume & issue needed]
In Secret Invasion, a person who look likes Mentallo appears as part of the Hood's alliance with super-powered heroes. The group is intent on defeating the Skrull invasion force of New York City.[16] He was later seen, during an attack on the New Avengers.[17]
During the Heroic Age, Mentallo once again encountered the Avengers. He attempted to control the mind of Reptil, who transformed himself into a dinosaur, with Mentallo unable to control the reptillian mind. Reptil was unable to control himself either, and Mentallo was badly savaged as a result.[18]
Mentallo psychically enslaved the Kaiju monsters of Monster Island on behalf of the Roxxon Corporation (who attempted to seize control of the Island in order to drill for oil). He was stopped and defeated by the X-Men, after he double-crossed Roxxon and tried to flee with his professional fee of a billion dollars. While attempting to flee, one of the giant monsters dropped a cargo hold directly on top of him, which contained the entire billion dollars in cash.[19]
Mentallo later appears as part of the new High Council of A.I.M. (consisting of Andrew Forson, Graviton, Jude the Entropic Man, Superia, Yelena Belova, and an undercover Taskmaster) as the Minister of Public Affairs.[20]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Mentallo is a mutant with limited psionic powers which can be augmented through scientific means often provided by the Fixer. Mentallo has telepathy and can read the thought of any human mind within an approximate five mile (8 km) radius. He has the ability to project "mental bolts" at opponents, create psionic screens to protect himself from psionic assault, control the bodies and minds of other humans, communicate telepathically and cast mental illusions. Mentallo has difficulty focusing his powers on moving targets. He is unusually vulnerable to psionic attack unless he erects a mental screen.
Mentallo wears a modified S.H.I.E.L.D. battle-suit. He has used various weaponry, including conventional firearms, rocket-guns, and a "sonic whammer" which projects intense vibratory blasts. He usually wears a special helmet to protect him against telepathic feedback, background noise and psionic assault from other telepaths. Fixer has supplied him with "electronic masks" (or "servo-pods") which adhere to victims' faces and places them under Mentallo's control. Fixer's "mentascope" enables Mentallo to use his psionic power to locate and attack victims from afar. Mentallo is cabable of flight via Fixer's "anti-grav propellant unit" or "flying discs" and a tank that can bore its way through the ground.
Mentallo also has the ability to send out mental probes to identify the shape and size of objects in his near vicinity, effectively creating some type of radar-sense. He can even locate invisible and intangible objects this way.
As the Resistants member Think Tank, he rode within a small tread-propelled vehicle in which he sat, with his upper body and head still exposed. This tank unit was armed with a wide range of weapons — machine guns, metal grappler arms etc. — which Mentallo directly controlled with his telepathic ability and a special interface helmet.
Other versions[edit]
House of M[edit]
In the House of M reality, Mentallo (alongside Arclight and Wild Child) is a member of the Red Guard that was positioned in Australia to serve Exodus.[21]
Ultimate Marvel[edit]
The Ultimate Marvel incarnation of Marvin Flumm is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. introduced in Ultimate Comics: Ultimates.[22]
After the Maker (Reed Richards) launched a nuclear attack on Washington, D.C. that killed the President and almost the whole cabinet, a new civil war started while he replaced Nick Fury as S.H.I.E.L.D. Director and ordered to bring the Ultimates in.[23] When Captain America (Steve Rogers) is elected President by the majority of the population, Flumm tried to kill the new President under orders from Mr. Morez (aka Modi) but fails and is subsequently fired from his S.H.I.E.L.D. position and replaced by the Black Widow (Monica Chang).[24]

Picture: Sheila Hancock 'A Celebration of the Arts' held at the Royal Academy of Arts - Outside Arrivals. London, England - 23.05.12
Late British actor JOHN THAW was stalked by an obsessive female fan who claimed he fathered her child, according to his widow Sheila Hancock.
The star of 1990s TV series Inspector Morse, who died aged 60 from cancer in February 2002, was hounded by one woman in particular who would follow him around London.
Hancock says, "He received 20-page letters and long rambling tapes. They got more and more odd, culminating in her accusing him of fathering her child, presumably by post...
"She changed her name by deed poll to Thaw and took to journeying to London and lying in wait for him."
The actress did attempt to organise a meeting between her husband and the fan but "somehow she slipped past the doorman.
"She was tiny and wearing a red mac. He leaped out of his skin when he saw what he thought was the homicidal dwarf from the film DON'T LOOK NOW."04/10/2004 17:18

The Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Kaeton at her blog Telling Secrets, challenges herself to preach without a text or notes in Preaching from the Heart:
I've tried it, from time to time, over the years. But, I've really been attempting serious application of this theory on Sunday and major holidays.
Here's some of the things I've learned:
First, this is not as easy as it looks. Seriously.
And, let me tell you from first hand experience, it's not for sissies. …
I was … taught that one ought to strive to make The Breaking Open of The Word no longer than The Breaking Open of The Bread. So, 10-15 minutes tops. Which is – generally (ahem) – no problem, if one is reading from a manuscript and reading the Eucharistic Prayer from the BCP. However, if one is "preaching from a prepared heart", the almost irresistible seduction in hearing the sound of one's own voice and connecting visually with the eyes and faces of others is to . . . well, to put it kindly . . . wander….
It takes preparation of study and paying attention to what is happening for the congregation and focus during the preaching of the sermon. Read more about the challenge and breathtaking experience of preaching without a manuscript here.

Extemporaneous preaching works best in a smaller church where one can connect with folks on a conversational level. It is important to be able to summarize the sermon in one sentence with which one should begin and end. Stick to no more than three sub-points which also need to be clearly stated before and after being expanded. If something is mangled or forgotten, forge on, be humorous about it, or even ask the congregation where you were or what the point was from which you departed or the name that slipped your mind. If listeners seem to be wondering, just say "sex," in context or out, and their attention will return. It requires as much prep and discipline as writing out the sermon. It may be less eloquent, but tends to be more immediate and can take a lot of practice to be comfortable with out the security of a text some of which I'm more and more seeing read from laptops rather than scripts.
Paul Woodrum
Preaching from the heart only appears extemporaneous; it is actually a highly-rehearsed, completely memorized sequence of thoughts that lead your audience into a state of bliss.
The way to master this skill is to practice speaking off-the-cuff about primary concepts until your story has "jelled" and you know exactly where you're leading the audience . . . to open up the heart and permit acceptance of a foreign idea.
Famous national leaders and movers do this. Adverts do this. In fact, there is so little verbal room from one statement to the next, there's no way to intercede an objection.
Salesmen are notorious for this skill of moving people to do what is not in their best interest of thrift. Televangelists master the art of speaking to the heart . . . and of course, this is why it's a dangerous and risky skill: Somebody might actually change their behavior, mortify their family, act on a new idea that's been anathema all this time.
Be in the moment and leave the old beliefs, the old practices, the old policies, behind.
God! That would wreck everything if people were to change their opinions about what is an appropriate choice!
I'm a little uncomfortable with the implied notion that speaking from a thoughtfully crafted manuscript isn't from the heart. I've heard way too many sermons that are "spirit led" that end up being clumsy and thin. To put in the genuine work it takes to say something of substance with some precision is an act of care and love. And that is in great part what Mthr. Elizabeth is saying about manuscript free preaching–to be any good one has to put in the work. Like all things, there should be a balance. A good preacher likely does a smattering of every approach. But let's not confuse extemporaneous with heartfelt, to often it's just laziness disguised as earnestness.

nvnet - Can ping and resolve, no web no ftp no telnet
I'm at my wits end here...
I'm having some trouble getting my nForce ethernet adapter to work. When I try the same configuration with another network card in the same machine, all works OK, so I've got to be doing something wrong that's specific to the nForce chip.
I've compiled the tar file version of the nvidia drivers against 2.4.23, and installed them. I've also tried the open-source "forcedeth" driver, but it seems to have the same problem.
I insmod nvnet, run ifconfig to assign a static IP, and assign routes etc...
I can ping other hosts on my local network, and I can resolve domain names (if I do a "host microsoft.com" it works), but I can't telnet to machines on the local network, I can't FTP anywhere, and I can't get web access to work. If I do an ifconfig, I see no packets dropped on eth0.
If I try a telnet and then do a netstat, I see that the telnet is in the state "SYN_SENT", and it seems to just sit there for a long time before eventually timing out. If I do "ifconfig" while it's in this state, I see the tx and rx packet counts both going up.
If I plug in an old NE2K-PCI based card, and change my modules.conf so that eth0 is the ne2k-pci card, everything works fine, with no other changes. Exactly the same configuration.
One thing I did notice is that when I try to use nvnet, ifconfig shows the interface as "UP" but not as "RUNNING", which I thought a bit strange. I don't know if this could be related or not...
Any suggestions are appreciated.
You can only ping on your local network? What about pinging yahoo.com or the IP address for yahoo.com? What about pinging a server at your ISP?
do you have a firewall? Perhaps its blocking you based on your network card MAC address? or perhaps your ISP is blocking that MAC address?
No, I could ping outside the network...
In the end I figured it out. The MAC assigned to every other network card in my house was in the 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx range, whereas my nForce card was in the BA:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx range. I'm guessing my ethernet switch doesn't like big MAC addesses, because when I changed to something lower, everything started working fine.
I'm guessing the reason I could ping and resolve DNS is because these are both connectionless protocols (ping over ICMP, and DNS over UDP). Interestingly, when I tried installing Windows XP, neither ping nor DNS would work.
All very strange. But at least it works now. :P

Sarasota is an affluent resort community with an interesting history. In the late 1880's, golf was introduced to the area from Scotland, and today, there are more than 30 golf courses near downtown. Leftover Scottish influence defines the appearance of many buildings. Led in part by the Ringling family of circus fame, the area became a top resort and real estate investment attraction in the 1920's.
Today the area is booming once again as a pleasant residential area and retirement destination, and this has impacted housing and living costs. Bradenton is more residential and close enough to the Tampa area that some make the commute, while also being close enough to that area that many weekenders make the trip south to enjoy Bradenton's beaches. Venice is a small coastal city some 12 miles south of Sarasota.
The downtown areas of all three cities are pleasant and walkable, with plain, sprawling suburbs surrounding Bradenton and Sarasota towards the north-south I-75 corridor. Although the economy in general and future job growth projections are strong, this is not a great area for the career-minded to settle; much of the area's wealth and economic base are brought in from elsewhere, and employment is heavily centered on healthcare, government and retail. There is plenty to do, and the area is strategically to provide a smaller city lifestyle while taking advantage of the greater set of city services available in the Tampa-St Petersburg area.
Located on the shore of Sarasota Bay, Sarasota sits on level, sandy terrain across from a long, narrow barrier island. There are areas of banyan trees and other tropical plants. Inland sections contain agriculture and orchards. The climate is subtropical with a substantial Gulf influence. Summers are long, warm, and humid, with afternoon highs of 90 or more and warm evenings in the 70's. Afternoon sea breezes and frequent thunderstorms moderate temperatures. Winters are quite mild with temperatures in the 60's and 70's and lows rarely below 50. Invasions of cold northern air produce an occasional light frost and a cold winter morning or two.
As of 2014, Sarasota's population is 52,501 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of -0.26 percent.
The median home cost in Sarasota is $151,400. Home appreciation the last year has been 14.90 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Sarasota's cost of living is 3.80% Lower than the U.S. average.
Sarasota public schools spend $13,014 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 17.3 students per teacher in Sarasota.
The unemployment rate in Sarasota is 5.00 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Positive. Sarasota jobs have Increased by 5.19 percent.

Is it necessary to take l methyl folate
Comments (3)
There have been successes without it, but I think it's much more common for ladies to continue experiencing miscarriages. Folic acid is a synthetic that even the best of people with no mutation can only process about 50% of. With an MTHFR mutation you can process even less then that 50%. So yeah, for me, I'm not leaving it to chance. I made the switch to the bio actives on my own (later received the blessing/help of my Endocrinologist) and I swear by them. I've noticed changes with them that I never EVER saw in 3 years of prenatals.
It's totally up to you, but if I were in your position, I'd be switching to the bio actives. I'm so sorry for your losses. I can't imagine losing my babies in ICU. *hugs*

Summer is the best time to jump on a motorcycle and just ride, especially for a great cause. Muddy Jake's Sports Grille and Pub will be sponsoring a motorcycle benefit ride, poker run and concert for the Hearts of Life Animal Rescue. The benefit is rightly called "Hawgz 4 Dawgz."
"When people think of bikers, they think we are really gruff, but not all of us are like that. We love to give back to our community," said Hawgz 4 Dawgz founder and event coordinator Lisa Ray.
Three years ago, Ray and her husband regularly volunteered for different motorcycle benefits as a way to give back to Hopkins County. They eventually decided to set up their own benefit.
"A friend of mine has a no-kill animal shelter on the north end of town. I found out he was low on funds to buy enough dog food for all the animals. I thought Hawgz 4 Dawgz would be a great way to raise money for his shelter," said Ray. "We have been doing it ever since."
Hearts of Life Animal Rescue began with only a few pens more than six years ago. Currently, the non-profit organization is responsible for more than 400 adoptions and houses more than 50 animals at a time.
Registration for Hawgz 4 Dawgz will begin at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at Muddy Jake's. The ride will begin at 10:30 a.m.
"Debra 'Bo' Bohannon will begin our event by playing the national anthem and holding a prayer. Then, the bikes will head out and make will head out and make five different stops and pick up poker chips for our poker run. We will be playing with dominoes this year," said Ray. "There will prizes for the best high and low-hands. During the run, we will also be having three judges hold a best bike contest."
At 5 p.m,. live music will kick off with Birthright Blues Project headlining the event, followed by Tyler Lenius. A silent auction will also be held.
"We just want to help our community," said Ray. "We are thankful for the Hopkins County Sheriff's Office and for Muddy Jakes' for helping us with this event."
For more information about Hawgz 4 Dawgz, contact Hearts of Life Animal Rescue at 903-438-8000.

As thousands proudly wave rainbow colored flags across America, one gay couple in Sulphur Springs has received their marriage license. After being a couple for 28 years and adopting 2 children, one Sulphur Springs family is happy they are finally going to tie the knot.
"We are just a normal everyday family," said husband Donny Foster. "I was born and raised in Hopkins County. It has always been our home."
Their story began decades ago in Hopkins County when Foster and Joe Autrey were in their 20s.
"We met 28 years ago at a party on July 4. Over time, our relationship progressed and we knew that we needed to be together," said Foster. "Actually, when we first met, he said he didn't even like me. I think he thought I was a bit of a jerk. I guess I grow on people. Now, we, purchased a house together."
Their dream of being recognized by the United States as a legally married couple has now come true. Just wanting to be like everyone else, the Supreme Court decision has not only positively affected them spiritually but financially as well.
Foster, 52, owns a no-kill shelter called Hearts of Life Animal Rescue while Autrey works at a local pet store.
Tragedy struck the family when Foster had a pulmonary embolism last January. Severely weakened by the medical emergency, Foster has been adapting to receiving supplemental oxygen 24 hours a day and being unable to perform physical activity.
"That is one of the many reasons we are so happy to be married. I cannot work anymore and do not make enough money to pay for [health care]," said Foster. "We pay taxes like everyone else. It seems like we were being discriminated against because my job would allow partner benefits, but we couldn't be married."
He continued to say that if the worst happened, his loved ones would be in a financial crisis. Most importantly, Foster and Autrey have to provide for the their two children.
Eight years ago, they made the decision to became foster parents. After more than 40 children had gone through their home, they decided to adopt J.P. and Shannon.
With that in mind, they are both relieved that Social Security benefits will transfer if something happens to either one of them.
Foster said that he and his family have been subject to discrimination in Hopkins County, but it has been on a limited basis. He said friends they have had for years are now offended that they have decided to be married.
"I am disappointed in how some people are posting really hateful messages on Facebook," said Foster. "I try not to impose, but I have upset some people and lost some friends. I have been the same person all these years. If I am excited about something that affects my family, why am I supposed to be quiet and ashamed of it? It is truly beyond me."
Refusing to be discouraged by discrimination, Foster and Autrey are focusing on their wedding day and making sure their kids learn to accept others for who they are.
"Our plan is to have a reception, after we pay for all the expenses," said Foster. "We have already had a few people tell us they cannot attend because they do not believe in it."
Although not all the RSVPs have been returned, Foster believes several hundred people will be showing up for their wedding reception.
"Joe and I are in this for the long hall and are committed. We are going be like my grandparents and be together forever," said Foster. "We are raising our kids to be agreeable with people and not teach hate. It's sad that some people look for all the bad things in people and can't be happy for others."
Rodeo extraordinaire Mike Pribble was posthumously honored at noon Wednesday with a plaque at the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center's Equine Pavilion. The community gathered as Pribble's daughter and granddaughter, Cathey Williams and Meredith Caddell, spoke at the event alongside their extended family.
"Our family is so elated. There are no words to describe how much everyone has done. I can't believe it's actually going to happen," said Williams before the dedication. "I don't think I have ever been a part of something so exciting and as moving as this process has been to memorialize daddy."
More than 50 people attended the Pribble plaque unveiling. Hopkins County Regional Civic Center Manager Adam Teer opened the event by inviting Williams and Caddell to the front of the pavilion to speak.
Williams invited her family to the stage along with KSST radio host Enola Gay Mathews, Billy Wayne and Charles Helm.
"Enola Gay was the one who had the vision in 1990," said Williams. "She knew that something had to be done and founded a chili cookout and worked so hard. She ended up going to the city, Civic Center and everyone she could trying to get something done for my daddy."
Williams said Mathews talked to Helm, who is on the Civic Center board, and they began to work together to raise money and find a way to have the plaque displayed in the pavilion.
"I remember when Charles Helm came to the Chamber of Commerce one day and said, 'Something has to be done for your dad,'" Williams said. "He went before the county commissioners and got it approved."
Williams' speech ended by talking briefly about her father and how he brought the first rodeo to Sulphur Springs. She said that although he came originally from Fort Worth, his hometown became Sulphur Springs.
She continued to say that Pribble began his career in Sulphur Springs at a young age. He purchased a horse at age nine and began practicing every day to become the best rider and roper he could be.
"Back in the 1930s, everything in Sulphur Springs happened in city park. Daddy wanted to hold a rodeo and got permission from the city. He held the event in the football stadium for the first two years," said Williams.
One of Pribble's signature tricks would be to stand on his head while roping eight galloping horses. He also would perform a Texas skip for 200 yards up and down the arena, vaulting stunts off the back and side of his horse, suicide drags and many different standing tricks. Eventually, he was recruited by Will Rogers for Western movies.
In 1938, Pribble built a large arena in Buford Park. Pribble soon became a public figure by performing tricks and fancy roping displays during his rodeos. For more than four decades he held a huge rodeo on Independence Day weekend, attracting 20,000 fans annually.
Pribble became a rodeo producer and director and local goodwill ambassador from 1911 to 1972. By 1954, Pribble upgraded his facility to be Texas' largest and finest all-steel, 6,000-seat arena.
The plaque unveiling ended with refreshments and dozens of photos temporarily displayed to commemorate Mike Pribble's life.
Hopkins County D.A.R.E. officer and friends are gearing up for the Third Annual Hopkins County Music and Comedy Review on July 24; the deadline to obtain raffle tickets for chances to win a 2015 Chrysler 200 has also been extended.
More than 100 people turned out for an evening of spiritual contemplation and humility during a community wide devotion and vigil. The event focused on praying for America in light recent tragedies, like the shooting in Southern Carolina, and by publicly proclaiming the message of God.
Minister Valanderous Bell hosted the prayer evening which included Sulphur Springs Mayor Kayla Price, Sulphur Springs Independent School District Superintendent Mike Lamb, Eighth Judicial District Judge Eddie Northcutt and Sulphur Springs City Manager Marc Maxwell.
"I feel like the more our community has events like this, where we get to know one another and pray together, when hard times come, we will know we can count on each other," said Price. "This is a real blessing for our community."
Price's speech focused on hope. She said that through education, teachers and parents should inspire children not to hate but accept each other. The power of religion was also discussed during the speech.
"Parents, no matter how old your children are, take them to church with you. Make sure your children are surrounded by other Christians," said Price. "Our faith in God gives us the hope to persevere and overcome all of life's challenges."
Lamb followed Price to stage. His speech urged the Hopkins County community to humble themselves before God.
"I don't know if there are any non-believers listening right now, but I would encourage you to find out what this Jesus is all about, ask questions," said Lamb. "No matter how bad things are, there is hope in Him. He is the only way out of the troubles we are in as a nation."
Lamb ended his speech by asking everyone to join hands in the audience. All the attendents in the square joined hands in large circle. Lamb asked everyone to bow their heads and pray. The prayer was followed by song.
"American society has taken God out of everything, but until we individually ask God to come into our hearts, nothing is going to change. There are some problems that we, as a people, will never be able to get rid without God," said Bell
The evening ended as everyone, still joining hands, sang "Amazing Grace." Lamb stated, no matter the race or background, everyone needed to join together and unite as a community.
The main Bible verse used throughout the evening was 2 Chronicles 7:14. Bell read the verse during the evening.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land," repeated Bell. "Honestly, as a community we are not praying enough and it is creating divides in our culture."
"This devotional is not about race, or any other difference, it's about people," said Bell. "We need to see each individual as a creation of God, look into our own hearts."

After a historic decision last week from the U.S. Supreme Court to legalize same-sex marriage, Hopkins County has begun dealing with repercussions of the decision and struggling with who will conduct a marriage ceremony after a licence has been issued.
In previous years, justices of the peace, county and city judges have conducted marriage ceremonies in Hopkins County. Currently, all county officials have declined to hold ceremonies going forward. In accordance with the Supreme Court decision, the Hopkins County Clerk's Office will issue wedding licences for same-sex couples.
"Right now, I do not know of any judges or clerks who are conducting marriage ceremonies," said Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom. "I am not going to be doing any more due to religious reasons."
Government judges have the priviledge to conduct wedding ceremonies, but they are not legally obligated. To keep from discriminating against same-sex couples, Hopkins County officials are declining to perform any marriage rites.
"We want the public to know that conducting wedding ceremonies was never a part of our judicial responsibility. It has always been a privilege for the public. There are some judges who have never performed a wedding in their lives," said Justice of the Peace Brad Cummings.
"I am exercising my right not to do any marriages, period." said JP B.J. Teer.
On Sunday, Attorney General of Texas Ken Paxton agreed with Hopkins County officials after publishing an opinion on the very subject. Paxton said that personal religious freedom of local government officials is being affected by the Supreme Court decision.
"County clerks and their employees retain religious freedoms that may allow accommodation of their religious objections to issuing same-sex marriage licenses. The strength of any such claim depends on the particular facts of each case," said Paxton. "Justices of the peace and judges similarly retain religious freedoms."
With local officials declining to hold any marriage ceremonies, Hopkins County residents will have to reach out to local ordained ministers to conduct wedding ceremonies. For same-sex marriages, that could be a substantial problem. So far, the News-Telegram has not found any clergymen in the county who will perform a same-sex wedding.
The Southern Baptist Convention released a letter standing against same-sex marriage.
"What the Bible says about marriage is clear, definitive and unchanging. We affirm Biblical, traditional, natural marriage as the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. The Scriptures' teaching on marriage is not negotiable," said Southern Baptist Convention President Pastor Ronnie Floyd. "Consequently, we will not accept, nor adhere to, any legal redefinition of marriage issued by any political or judicial body including the United States Supreme Court. We will not recognize same-sex 'marriages,' our churches will not host same-sex ceremonies, and we will not perform such ceremonies."
The United Methodist Church released a similar letter to the Clergy of North Texas Conference.
"Please remember that ceremonies that celebrate homosexual unions shall not be conducted by our ministers and shall not be conducted in our churches," said Resident Bishop Michael McKee.
"I would have to think long and hard about that decision. In the Bible, a marriage has always been between a man and a woman," said First Presbyterian Church Paster Charles Moore.
On Tuesday morning, the News-Telegram tried to reach out to more than a dozen churches in the area, but so far no denomination has verified that they are willing to host a same-sex marriage ceremony. For any same-sex couples looking to be married in Hopkins County, it might be easier to find a willing minister somewhere else.
There had not been a request for a same-sex marriage license by 10 a.m. Tuesday, Newsom said, but the County Clerk's Office had received several calls.

Is this 12 day schedule overly aggressive?
We didn't want to move hotels every 2 days but based on this schedule we change 6 times in 12 days. we also don't want to miss the Cinque Terre or really anything we've listed. Would you keep this or remove one leg for more hang time? Is this just too aggressive? I notice Rick does several trips that move through cities like Siena and the CT quickly. Thoughts? 27. Travel 28. Rome 29. Rome 30. Cinque Terre 1. CT 2. Siena 3. Siena day/ Montepulciano 4. Montepulciano 5. Montepulciano 6. Florence 7. Florence 8. Venice 9. Venice

Those layers above and around will expect that you be conversant in the progress and status of the work. The employee may be capable of running solo but if you are queried on project status and "I don't know, I assigned the work to someone else" is an unacceptable response, you will need check-ins that are frequent enough to keep you on top of the work's progress.
Delegation never means dump a task and run away. It means assigning the work and monitoring it with whatever frequency is needed to ensure success.

We're well into the month of April and that means it's time to unveil our latest Scarf of the Month!
In 2015, FC Dallas unveiled a beautiful new alternate blue and white jersey and while we haven't worn it yet, that time is coming soon.
Rumor has it as early as next weekend you could see the blue and white strip at Toyota Stadium and our April Scarf of the Month is a nod to our new 2015 alternate jersey.
Remember, while five of the first seven are at home, seven of the next nine after that are away from the friendly confines of Frisco and there's no better accessory to your FCD blue and white jersey than our April Scarf of the Month.
All elements on the scarf are taken straight from the new jersey including the hoops, new MLS logo and LH logo. The opposite side is the inside neck tag.
It's important to accessorize and there's no better way to do that than with our new April SOTM. Remember this lovely scarf is available only in the FC Dallas Team Store at Toyota Stadium and will sell out quickly so be sure to come up this week and nab yours or snag one at Friday's game vs Colorado.

4. After a washout on Friday, the weather is set to clear up on Saturday with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid to high 60s.
