Hi ladies!
Question about your experiences with "growth spurts" affecting your LO sleeping through the night.
Cady has slept through the night since she was only a couple weeks old. In late December, we listened to her cues and figured out what a good "schedule" for her was, since I was heading back to work 1/3. She started sleeping from about 8 pm through till around 6 or 7 am around Christmastime.
Well, the past five days or so, she started getting up around 4 or 5, two nights ago she woke at 3:30 and last night at 2:00, ravenous and nursing like she'd never been fed before.
She turned 3 months this past Saturday.
I guess I'm wondering what your thoughts are on what's causing this... do you think it could be "just" a growth spurt, and she'll go back to STTN soon? Or is this a case of "just as your get used to their routines, they change them?"
I'm at a loss, and am wanting my full night's sleep back! I'm not complaining; I know I was SO BLESSED to have a baby that STTN so early on, and am very thankful for that.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences!
Part hippie-chick, part type-A career woman, all mama. Enjoying life as a wife to my partner of 11 years, and a mama to our smarty-pants toddler, Cadence.
I would say it's probably both.
bedsharing, knitting, toddler-nursing, nerdy, babywearing mama!
I would agree with the pp. I think it really depends on your lo. I don't want to discourage you at all, but my ds STTN until he hit about 4 months old and then it was a long time until he didn't wake at all. My dd hasn't ever slept through the night (she's 7 months)...
I would say DS consistently STTN again at about 14 months. (for months he woke up once in the middle of the night) As a fellow working mama I totally understand the challenges. I just try to remind myself that this too shall pass!
Hopefully your lo will go back to it since there was such a good routine established.
Good luck!
Yeah, I meant to elaborate my earlier post but didn't have time-- Cecilia STTN until maybe 2.5 months old, and then she started rolling over and growing fast, and then hit the 4 month regression, and then started teething, and...yeah, she still doesn't STTN again at 9 months. It will be nice when it happens again!

Oh mama, I sooooo feel you.
I had the most beautiful, sleeping baby from about 8 weeks until 4 months. He slept from 7:30pm-7:30am every night. It was incredible. And then the four month sleep regression. Ugh. We're JUST getting to some kind of normal now that he's eating solids and we've upped his reflux meds.
A piece of advice I got from the Baby Whisperer is that if a baby wakes up at the same time every night, it's a habit. This is particularly true if they're not nursing for any real length of time/taking more than an ounce or two from the bottle. Adults do this too, we just randomly wake up at certain times and go back to sleep. If it's just habit, you're supposed to soothe them back to sleep without eating since that's really not what they want. If a baby is waking up at random times and is STARVING (like it sounds like your baby is doing), they're seriously hungry. Baby whisperer says to try upping their feedings during the day to compensate. If you're working and pumping, that could mean adding an extra ounce of BM to her bottle at every feeding. See if she'll take the extra milk during the day so she won't wake up and be so hungry at night. You could also try clusterfeeding her in the evening so she's superfull. She also could be reverse cycling because you're at work and she's missing the nursing. Is she eating a lot during the day?
It sounds like she's going through a growth spurt.

Ditto this...seems like it's pretty common for them to STTN early on then stop. We get at least "major" wake-ups a night around here with some minor ones in between, and that's the best it's been since about 4 months.

Ditmas Park is taking another step toward being the next big Brooklyn neighborhood with an addition to its scant restaurant scene. There now is the Farm on Adderley, Picket Fence, and a guy that cooks ribs on the street outside of left-wing cafe Vox Pop. But help is on the way, reports the Ditmas Park Blog. Gary Jonas and Allison McDowell, the owners of the Farm on Adderley, are planning on opening a small bistro on Newkirk Avenue, currently best known for its laundromats and ill-stocked Indian groceries. The two will be operating partners with Pacifico and Patois owner Jimmy Mamary. We asked McDowell about it, and she explained the plan: "It's going to be tiny. We're not doing a big, family-friendly neighborhood restaurant there. It'll be more grown-up, European, but there won't be a liquor license, just beer and wine. We'd like Tom Kearney, our chef at Adderley, to do the menu, but that's still up in the air." So, apparently, is the name: We're suggesting the Barn, but only because Lentils & More is worse.

My son started having seizures at age 4, he went to a special preschool for special needs kids, went to kindergarten for 7 days and was put into a behavior school, we fought to get him out, now he's in first grade, but only for an hour a day. He has lots of behavior issues at school, and is also on seizure meds because he was diagnosed w/epilepsy, now they say Aspergers. Are any other mom's going through this? where their child cannot get an appropriate education because of their behavior? school wants to send him back to behavior school and we said NO WAY!! (bad experience their) made his outbursts worse!!
it took 2 years for Aspergers diagnosis!
Comments (5)
I have been trying to get my dd an Asperger's dx for two years. Dh and I are autistic so we could see it way early. No one will take us seriously yet. She is only 3 and still too young for preschool so I don't know when to expect it to happen.

For the second poster, we went to a psychologist and paid $400 to have an ADOS done. It gives a rating scale of whether or not the psychologist feels they are on the spectrum and whether it might be mild (Aspergers) or beyond (classic autism). We were told an ADOS can be given as early as 18 months so perhaps it's something you could do privately if you want to go this route.
I wish you all the best,
My daughter is 6 and was just Dx with Asperger's in August. We were told by the doctor it is not usually Dx until age 7. We knew something was different about her early on (and suspected ASD) and knew she had sensory issues, but the ASD Dx took me taking her to UVA.

I know this is a very old post but I'm just always looking for help with my son. we have been trying to get an autism/asperger's diagnosis since he was 2 years old. We deal with behavior issues on a daily basis. We've had him tested every other year since he was 2 years old and the testing shows nothing. We have a nother testing appt next Tuesday so here we go again. I can't even place him in public school. Since we have no diagnosis they look at it as a behavior issue so they do not have to legally help him. He can't be trusted to go to the bathroom on his own he's a wanderer and I worry about him on the school playground because he would run into the road in a heartbeat. The school will not provide an aide because once again we have no diagnosi for him to need an aide. I have him in a very small private school where the class sizes are 8 kids to a class instead of 30 but it's not something I can afford. We are on medicaid to pay for his therapy for sensory and auditory processing disorder. Our regular insurance does not cover it so I quite my job and reduced our income just so we could get the state insurance to help him. Now my husband who is working full time has to constantly decline raises and bonuses and promotions just to make sure we keep our income below $20,000 a year so my son can get his therapy that private insurance will not cover. I just wonder if anyone else is going through this. We just can't get a diagnosis for him. Testing shows normal but what we deal with on a daily basis is anything but that. We have paid for autism therapies out of pocket for 7 years and have racked up $70,000 of debt doing it. Without a diagnosis of autism the insurance will not cover it. We have seen a lot of improvement over the 7 years but in turn we have so much debt because of it. I can't imagine another 7 years and &70,000 more of debt just because I can't get him a diagnosis that would bring us help. We are so lost in the system now it's insane. We have 4 other children as well so they are suffering through this with us and I hate it for them. If anybody has any ideas or is going through this we would love to get in touch with you. I try to get our story out in as many places as I can because there's got to be something we're missing here with our son.

Hey Mom in NC...
I have a 7 year old un-dx'd Asperger's guy too. His behavior is recently turned bad but does not sound as extreme as yours. What types of behavior does he display? Are you sure it's Asperger's?? Any other terms been thrown into the hat for consideration?

Broadcast Date: Sep. 25, 2009
With a leaked memo, delayed decisions and calls for more troops in Afghanistan, there's a growing public demand to know what direction President Obama has in mind for the war-torn country. JOURNAL guest host Lynn Sherr sits down with Rory Stewart, who shares his vision for a sustainable policy that could benefit both the United States and Afghanistan, which he has called "the graveyard of predictions." Rory Stewart is director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University. In 2003, he was appointed as the Coalition Provisional Authority deputy governor of two provinces in Southern Iraq, and in 2005, he moved to Afghanistan, where he founded the Turquoise Mountain Foundation, an NGO dedicated to Afghan traditional crafts and the regeneration of the historic commercial center of Kabul.Tags:

The assessment appeal deadline in Allegheny County is March 31, 2015.
How much can you save if you win a lower assessment? Use the Allegheny County property tax and assessment calculator
County Office of Property Assessments office is located at:
County Office Building

Pittsburgh, PA 15219
Phone number - (412) 350-4600
Senior Citizen Property Tax Relief Program
Home owners who are 60 years of age or older, or a widow or widower
age 50 to 60 years or are permanently disabled and age 18 to 60
years and have owned and occupied their home in Allegheny county
continuously for at least ten years, may be eligible for a flat 30%
discount on Allegheny County real estate taxes.
The income limit for this tax reduction is $30,000, total gross household income.
Only 50% of social security benefits, SSI, and Railroad Retirement Tier 1 Benefits (except Medicare benefits) are considered in the income calculation. Tax Relief Application.pdf
Allegheny County Homestead Exclusion
Allegheny County allows for a $2,000 reduction in the county assessment. The reduction of $2,000 reduces the county tax bill by $85. The assessment reduction does not reduce the amount of taxes paid to the local government (I.e. town, township, borough, etc.) or school district. Can you answer yes to the following questions?
If you answered yes to the previous questions, you might be eligible for the homestead and farmstead exclusion.
Go to the Allegheny County search page and look up the assessment information on the property. If the building value is lower on the County Assessed Value, then the Full Market Value on the left, then the homestead exclusion has been applied. The values under the County Assessed Value are used to calculate the Allegheny County real estate taxes. The Full Market Value numbers are used to calculate the local (i.e town, township, borough, and city) and the school district taxes.
New applications must be returned before March 1 for the exclusion to be in effect for the applicable tax year. Application.pdf

NDominguez5 Stars Out Of 5ExcellentDecember 30, 2014NDominguezQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This is the first review I have written concerning curriculum for students. I was compelled to write a review because of how wonderful this science curriculum is. We had used Apologia in the early grades and switched to TIS starting last year in 5th grade. I cannot express how in depth and solid their approach is. They are very good at giving big concepts in bite sized chunks. They introduce worldview concepts, which are so important, and they really teach well the difference between an evolutionary worldview and a creation worldview with the purpose of promoting the latter, and equipping students to defend that position. I can't recommend it enough, especially if your child is scientifically minded. Also, you really can just purchase the "steps" workbooks without anything else if you are on a budget.

Author/Artist Review
Located in: Noble, OK
Submitted: November 13, 2009
Tell us a little about yourself. I am Dr. G. Thomas Sharp, the Founder and President of Creation Truth Foundation of Noble, OK. CTF is an educational research and development ministry that desires to develop Biblical Worldview beginning in Genesis for all levels of Christian believer. We have been in existence since August 1989 and have traveled all over America and the world in this attempt. See creationtruth.com
What was your motivation behind this project? I have been a science educator since 1965 and a minister since 1960. I have witnessed over the past forty years the steady declension of Biblical influence in American society and churches, having seen 60% of the sub-fifteen year olds become secularized in the church I pastored. I then discovered in serious research for a ph.D. that Darwinism and its many ramifications had seriously encroached into all ahead of learning and cultural exchange in the American culture and that by 1962 had laid the base for the eviction of God and His word from all aspects of American society. During the great expansion of Christian education since then many types of curricula have been written and what I noticed is most present good science but poor to mediocre Biblical worldview. I am convinced that Genesis 1:28 indicated that of the CORE (language arts, social studies, science and mathematics), science is the most favorable place to inculcate Biblical worldview. What we have done is to write a science curriculum based on the published standards of science in America and integrate into all concepts delivered the maximum Biblical worldview based on Dr. Henry Morris' tenets of Biblical and scientific creation.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? It is our desire that all who use this curriculum will be exposed to good science delivery without neglecting an optimal Biblical worldview.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? During the research and development phase for this project I was particularly impacted by two salient realities. First, was how little present science curricula seriously treats Biblical worldview and second is how many concepts in elementary science there are available for this exposure.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? My most important personal influences are the Bible, my wife, my children and my pastor. My favorite authors are Dr. Henry M. Morris, Dr. Gary Parker, Dr. Stephen Austin, Charles H. Spurgeon, David Barton, Martin Loyd-Jones, etc. The music I enjoy includes Christian hymns and patriotic songs, specially performed by orchestra or symphony.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: A fact many in the believing church fail to comprehend today is a person can be no more effective as a Christian than their Biblical worldview will permit the.

But any pair you choose will be a tremendous upgrade over stock, creating an appearance that will make your car or truck stand out.

The designers at the manufacturers we carry have crafted lights with LEDs arranged in creative and attractive patterns. These lights are positioned on chrome or black substrates with clear, red or smoked outer lenses. The sheer number of possibilities for variation has resulted in the variety of styles you see on our site. Any of these lights will give your vehicle an exclusive look for a unique presence on the roadway.
We aim to provide our customers with the finest LED Tail Lights the industry can offer, which is why we accept no compromise when it comes to the quality. Created by the most reputable names in the industry, such as Spyder, Spec-D, Anzo, IPCW, CG, Winjet, Recon, Rugged Ridge the LED Tail Lights we've gathered for you feature precise design and everlasting durability.
Beyond appearance, LED lights have many practical benefits as well. LEDs are particularly appropriate for stop lamps and 3rd brake lights because of their faster rise time. They light up 0.2 seconds faster than incandescent bulbs, which may not sound like much, but when you consider that at 60 mph a car travels 88 ft. in one second, that time can give the driver behind almost 20 ft. of additional stopping distance. That extra road can be the difference between stopping in time and a collision. We have a large selection of LED high-mount stop lamps in styles to match our custom LED tail lights.
Along with increasing your safety, LED tail lights are also budget friendly. Once you install a set of LED tail lights on your car or truck, that will most likely be the last time you ever have to touch them because the LED bulbs will last the life of your vehicle. It's estimated that LED bulbs last 50,000 hours or more, far longer than ordinary incandescent bulbs, so you'll never have to buy replacements for burned out bulbs. That's one less bit of maintenance you'll have to do and one less expense you'll incur caring for your vehicle.
Today's pothole and frost heave strewn roads not only jar your fillings when you drive over them, they can also be tough on your bulbs. The delicate filament in incandescent bulbs are sensitive to vibration and continued and excessive shocks can weaken the filament and cause the bulb to fail. LEDs are completely insensitive to vibration, so you can drive over the roughest terrain without any worries about bulb failure. So, LED Tail lights are a definite upgrade for cars negotiating decaying urban streets, but they're essential for 4x4 trucks and SUVs driven off-road.

Cynthia Gillow lives in the area of Midtown that has pitted Harriman against Kingston in court and on the ballot for first dibs on annexation.
But the battle that led the two Roane County municipalities to the state's highest court on Wednesday is not what's on the Moses Lane woman's mind.
What's troubling her is problems with her driveway, which she said washes away due to improper drainage along adjacent Hwy. 70 near Midtown Motel.
Cleveland attorney James Logan purchased three tracts of Houston property for $150,000 at a foreclosure sale on the steps of the Roane County Courthouse Tuesday.
Brothers Rocky and Leon Houston showed up to protest the sale, in which Logan was the only bidder.
"I'm very disappointed that more people aren't interested in buying this property at this time, but I understand it," Logan said.
The cable barriers that stretch along interstates in Tennessee are supposed to serve a good purpose, but they are no match for some of the vehicles that travel on the roadways.
A long stretch of cable barrier on Interstate 40 in Roane County was damaged on Dec. 22 when a tractor trailer ran off the road around the 356 mile marker.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the big rig entered and left the median, pulling the cable wire down the interstate. Its fuel tank ruptured and diesel fuel and oil was spilled on the roadway.
Next week's Roane County Commission meeting could see discussion about Tiger Haven.
Commissioner Ray Cantrell has submitted three resolutions regarding the facility.
"There's so many unanswered questions that I feel like we need to have some answers to it," Cantrell said. "The only way we can do that is to get the right people either to write some letters back to us or come before us to answer some questions."
Tiger Haven is a big-cat sanctuary on Harvey Road in East Roane County.
One of Ron Woody's first actions as county executive was cutting the salaries of Howie Rose and Scott Stout by 9 percent.
Now Woody wants to change what has been done.
He's submitted a resolution for the Jan. 10 commission meeting that asks for Rose and Stout, who work in the county's Office of Emergency Services, to be returned to their previous pay grades.
The resolution said the two men have worked diligently.
Know where your loved ones are at all times.
Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton said that's his advice for people who have a sex offender living in their neighborhood.
"Particularly if you have children," Stockton said. "Always know where they are."
A search of the Tennessee Sexual Offender Registry shows 91 sex offenders living in Roane County.
That's more than Loudon (79), but less than Cumberland (114).
It's been a big year for Roane County's resident thespian.
Muse Watson, the actor who calls the area home and whose passion for the arts helped save Harriman's Princess Theater, spent the majority of 2010 working steadily in California.
"We have a home out there, and so we're out there 90 percent of the time," he said during a recent pre-holiday respite in his Harriman home. "We used to spend a third of the year here in Roane County."
Midway Middle School recently broke ground to complete a 94-foot competition-ready gymnasium with a lobby and concessions.
Other work includes adding a kitchen to the cafeteria, allowing school food workers to prepare meals onsite.
At present, food is prepared at nearby Midway Elementary School and taken to the middle school to be served.
The new construction and additions are funded through reparation money TVA is paying the county for the 2008 fly ash catastrophe at the Kingston Fossil Plant.
A 60-year-old Rockwood woman who was injured in a house fire a few weeks ago died on Christmas Eve.
Firefighters rescued Inez Newman from a home on Trinity Avenue in Rockwood on Dec. 12.
Rockwood Fire Chief Mike Wertz said on Thursday he was uncertain about the cause of her death.
He said in initial fire reports that Newman suffered burns and heavy smoke inhalation during the fire.

text: jon, check with the Center for Military History they should be of help. They had an on-going project to catalog photographs of ALL soldiers, as it seems they think that every US soldier has been photographed since the Civil War. Without more research, and checking with my brother - he is well versed in identifying these images, I would place it mid-1890's to around 1905. Let us know if you find solid info, would be interesting to know.

Publisher Comments:
The Chairman Is Dead
I gazed with ghoulish fascination at the withered, waxen corpse. The infamous domed forehead and rounded cheeks looked weary and wrinkled, a far cry from the jubilant, plump jowls of the propaganda posters. The embalmed cadaver of Chairman Mao lay swaddled in military uniform, his hands crossed over his chest. An orange lamp beamed through the semidarkness onto his shriveled, death-stiffened skin. His face glowed like a ghastly candlelit pumpkin.
A hushed awe filled this inner chamber of the mausoleum. Nobody spoke above a whisper. The room quivered with palpable excitement. My heart was beating faster than usual; a perverse thrill tickled my skin. I felt a morbid compulsion to stop and stare at the macabre spectacle, at the mortal remains of this man who had, to such catastrophic effect, held ab- solute power over the most populous nation on earth. A few decades ago, a single suggestion from that formaldehyde-plumped mouth could have spelled the slaughter of a man; the disastrous economic strategies that evolved in that glowing amber head had dealt a tortured death to tens of millions. Yet beneath that taut, unyielding skin had also breathed a man who had, against incredible odds, inflamed such passion and loyalty in his people that a vast and diverse country had united and, with almost no material resources, had overthrown the foreign superpowers that threatened it.
The embalming of Mao's corpse had been an anxious affair, according to his personal physician, Li Zhisui, who recorded the procedure in his book The Private Life of Chairman Mao. The problem was that neither Li nor anyone else in China had attempted to preserve human flesh before. Li himself had visited Stalin's and Lenin's remains some years previously and had noted that the bodies were shrunken. He had been told that Lenin's nose and ears had rotted and had been rebuilt in wax and that Stalin's mustache had fallen off. The medical team played for time by pumping Mao's corpse full of formaldehyde.
We injected a total of twenty-two liters, Li wrote. The results were shocking. Mao's face was bloated, as round as a ball, and his neck was now the width of his head. His skin was shiny, and the formaldehyde oozed from his pores like perspiration. His ears were swollen too, sticking out from his head at right angles. The corpse was grotesque.
The terrified medics-who could have been executed for desecrating the semidivine cadaver-tried to massage the liquid out from the face and down into the body, where the bloating could be covered with clothing. One of them pressed too hard and broke a piece of skin off Mao's cheek. In the end, they managed to restore his face to something approaching normal proportions, but then the Chairman's clothes wouldn't fit on his body, and they had to slit the back of his jacket and trousers in order to button them up.
Before carrying out the permanent preservation of the body, Li sent two investigators to Hanoi to find out how Ho Chi Minh's body had been treated. When they arrived, however, the Vietnamese officials refused to divulge their secrets and wouldn't allow them to see the corpse-though someone revealed confidentially that it hadn't been a great success. Ho's nose had already decomposed, and his beard had fallen off.
In the end, Li worked out a method whereby he removed Mao's internal organs and filled the cavity with cotton soaked in formaldehyde while another group worked day and night building a pseudocorpse out of wax just in case it all went wrong and they found themselves in need of a fake.
I wondered whether the body that lay before me was in fact the real cadaver or the waxen substitute. It was nearly thirty years since Mao's death; the pickling process had clearly been experimental at best.
After learning that the Chinese had built enough new roads to circle the equator sixteen times, the author describes how she decided to witness for herself the way this vast nation was hurtling into the technological age and how, upon arriving in China, she discovered that the construction work had not quite been finished. Original. 35,000 first printing.
Polly Evans studied modern languages at Cambridge University, where she learned a little about Spanish and a little more about men. The hours of hard research she poured into these two subjects, plus a four-year stint at Hong Kong's largest weekly magazine, inspired her first three books, all available from Delta. Polly now lives in London, where she is at work on the tale of her attempts to learn to ride in horse-mad Argentina.

Over the past decade, he has been a political money machine, raising more than $100 million for three gubernatorial campaigns and another $50 million for GOP candidates as chairman of the Republican Governors Association in 2007-2008.
But the Texas governor's fundraising prowess will be tested as never before if he runs for president in 2012.

Arenberg Tubular Tire
Issue : Jun 2012
Editorial Review
We're constantly surrounded by new technology, and sometimes you need to take a break by going back to any old standard. Tubeless tires have several benefits backed by science, but the ride feel of a nice tubular tire never disappoints. We recently got a pair of Veloflex Arenbergs and were excited for the opportunity to go old school. Gluing them to a pair of Mavic wheels gave us the first indication of their quality. The tread and base tape are incredibly straight, making it a hassle-free job to center the tire on the rim. Spinning them in a truing stand showed that the tread is also straight, without any bumps or hops. Unlike many tubulars, the base tape is black, so you don't have a visually incongruous white stripe around the circumference of your wheels, where the tire meets the sidewall. The Arenberg, available only in a 700x25mm size, is intended for rough pavement or dirt surfaces. Larger than typical racing tubular tires, it has more tire volume to soak up the bumps, and while the maximum pressure is listed at 130psi, we found that it rode best at 100psi. At this pressure, the tires rolled along smoothly and tracked beautifully through twisty turns, feeling eager to be pushed harder.—Brad Ford

William (Bill) Charles Lenart Sr.
William (Bill) Charles Lenart, Sr., 80 of Wichita Falls, passed away Saturday, January 28, 2012. Funeral Services are scheduled for 3:00 PM Saturday, February 4, 2012 at Hampton Vaughan Funeral Home Chapel with Chaplain Antonio Rigonan officiating. Visitation will be from 6:00 until 7:00 Friday evening at the funeral home with a Rosary to be recited beginning at 7:00 PM.
Bill was born on July 26, 1931 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey to the late William Michael Lenart and Anna Sarisky Lenart of Carteret, New Jersey. He attended school in Carteret and on February 14, 1952, enlisted in the US Air Force during the Korean War. Upon completion of his first enlistment, he returned to Laredo, Texas where he was previously stationed and first met his wife to be, Maria Medina. They were married on July 8, 1956 in Laredo and were married for 55 years. Bill and Maria both decided a career in the Air Force would be a good choice. Bill retired from the Air Force in May of 1972. Bill, Maria and their children, Katharine and Willie, Jr. retired to Wichita Falls where he had been previously stationed. Bill's Air Force career, mainly in the Logistics (Supply) and Aircraft Support Sections led to a similar career of 23 years plus at Sheppard Air Force Base, doing what he did in the military. He worked for the ENJJPT program on Sheppard, starting with Northrop and retiring with DynCorp. After retirement, Bill and Maria spent years traveling until health conditions (COPD) prevented further travel. Bill's hobbies included gardening and a love for music and downloading of music. He also enjoyed his workshop where he was a talented craftsman and handyman.
Survivors are his wife, Maria Lenart of Wichita Falls; daughter, Kathy Lyons and husband, Ray of Waco, TX; son, Willie Lenart, Jr. and wife, Gayle of Wichita Falls; grandchildren Bryan, Daniel, Kayla, James, Matthew and Alicia; a sister, Nancy Lenart Kuchma of New Jersey.
The family suggests memorial donations to Hospice of Wichita Falls, 4909 Johnson Rd., 76310, to Faith Mission, 1300 Travis St., Wichita Falls, 76301 or to any favorite charity.

McKinney used life experiences for 'Home'
CORPUS CHRISTI - On his latest album, "Home," Mark McKinney, takes his rootsy Red Dirt sound and mixes it with the lyrics of his life, his emotions and his experiences.
"Home" is McKinney's third album and the reason for the CD's name is that instead of recording the album in Nashville, McKinney decided it would be best to cut the album near his home base in Austin. What also made it feel like home was that he decided to mainly use his band in the studio instead of hiring outside talent.
That, and he wrote a song called "Home." "That's part of it. I also just wanted to do this album in Austin where I live. Everything about this album just felt like home," he said.
Even though the CD was released earlier this spring, his upcoming co-headlining gig with Rich O'Toole will be a CD release party. McKinney said if there's a market he hasn't covered as much, he'll use the performance as an introduction to his latest album.
Also, McKinney, who wrote every track for the album himself, once again used producer, Rob Dennis. Dennis, who has also produced for Lynyrd Skynyrd and Cross Canadian Ragweed, is also owner of McKinney's current label, Super Loud Music.
So far, the boy from Big Spring is confident about the success of his latest project, as his last two albums made some serious records.
"Get It On" and "Middle America," produced seven consecutive top 10 hits on the Texas Country music charts. His latest single, "The River Song," has spent several weeks in the top 10.
In addition to getting a lot of spin on the radio, the video for McKinney's latest single just got picked up by Country Music Television's "Pure Country."
McKinney also is excited about a possible live album. It was going to be part of the "Live at Billy Bob's Texas" series, but plans for the project fell through. Details on the project are still sketchy as McKinney still is in the process of choosing a different venue in which to record. When asked which venues were on his short list, McKinney played coy.
"I'm not sure yet, man," he laughed. "Maybe we'll do it someday. Maybe we should do it at Brewster's."
As for his CD release party at Brewster's, McKinney is confident Red Dirt and Texas country fans will get a good feel for his latest album as well as O'Toole's. Fans will also have a chance to get twisted off to a lot of McKinney's other hits, including "Bonfire," "Stompin' Ground" and the title track from his "Middle America" album.
"Man, Rich always puts on a high energy show and I'm known for the same thing," he said. "I'll probably stage interrupt him and he'll probably do the same to me. Me and Rich are like best friends and we've done about a million acoustic shows together, and so we know each other really well. For sure, it's gonna be a rowdy, rowdy show."
Who: Mark McKinney and Rich O'Toole with Neil Austin Imber
When: 9 p.m. Thursday
Where: Brewster Street Ice House, 1724 N. Tancahua St.
Cost: $10 advance and $13 day of show

Celebrating 50 years since the introduction of this seminal solidbody design.
Gibson USA unveils the SG Standard 24, a guitar that captures all the classic ingredients of Gibson's great double-cutaway solidbody model, with a few clever twists to make it even more versatile for today's demanding performer. Like the best SGs of the past 50 years, the SG Standard 24 starts with a solid mahogany body and glued-in quartersawn mahogany neck, a pairing that ensures ringing sustain, superb tonal depth, and plenty of clarity and richness. The body's thin dimensions make this a pleasurably light guitar to play, while its classically beveled edges also make it comfortable on the forearm. To update the format for the 21st century, however, Gibson USA gives the SG Standard 24 the 24-fret neck that its name implies, with even the uppermost of its medium-jumbo frets easily accessible thanks to the SG's legendary deep double-cutaway design. Combine this with a beautifully ergonomic rounded neck profile, and you've got one of the sweetest playing rock machines available today.
Two of Gibson's popular PAF-style '57 Classic humbucking pickups translate the SG Standard 24's sonic goodness to your amp of choice, yielding anything from deep, warm vocal tones in the neck position to endless growl and roar in the bridge, to round and snappy tones in between. The classic pairing of a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece keeps it all rock-solid and resonant, while up at the other end a PLEK-cut Corian nut ensures clean intonation and singing sustain. Top it all off with a set of vintage-style tuners with pearloid buttons, a unique "50 Years" headstock emblem, and a high-gloss nitrocellulose finish in Antique Ebony, and you've got a spectacular celebration of one of the world's favorite electric guitars, all wrapped up in an instrument you can gig with today. Each guitar includes a Gibson hardshell case and owner's manual, and is covered by Gibson's Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 Customer Service. Check out your own SG Standard 24 today, and prepare to rock for the ages.
The SG Story
Way back in 1961 when the SG Standard temporarily replaced the Les Paul Standard in the Gibson line up, few were aware that a future icon of rock guitar was being introduced to the scene. Originally called the "Les Paul/SG", this radical, double-cutaway electric with two dramatic asymmetrical pointed "horns" and a thin all-mahogany body was worlds away from the single-cutaway maple and mahogany Les Paul that it replaced. It proved to have similar power, punch and versatility, but also expressed a voice all its own, one that has grabbed many heavy rock and metal players in particular, alongside countless classic rock and blues artists. By the time the single-cutaway Les Paul returned in the late '60s, the SG Standard was already a legend, and had forever claimed its place in rock history.

real nice guitar!! happy about the purchase , no complaints, gibson quality all the way
Comments about Gibson Limited Run 50th Anniversary SG Standard 24 Electric Guitar:
I've had this guitar for a few months now, and I find myself playing it more than any of my others. It plays like a dream, and the 24 frets are a nice bonus. Love the sound of the '57 classics; they're great for just about any musical style. The glossy ebony finish is beautiful and the '60's pickguard looks sharp. Some drawbacks: The rosewood board was very dry, and had some gouges in it. However, playability was unaffected, so I kept it. Guess that's par for the course for Gibson these days...: ( Also, there were several finish flaws, especially between the neck pickup and the board. Saw some scuffs on the side of the body (near knobs), but not too noticeable with the black finish. Bought this as a mint condition used model, so I was a bit surprised. Overall, though, great sound, good looks and playability. Very happy with it!
Comments about Gibson Limited Run 50th Anniversary SG Standard 24 Electric Guitar:
I would recommend this guitar to anyone. The fact that it's a 50th anniversary model makes it unique. I will keep this guitar forever.
Antique ebony finish is beautiful. 24 fret rosewood fretboard with crown inlays. Tune-o-matic bridge. Pearl tuning keys. 2 gibson '57 PAF humbuckers. This guitar looks and sounds cool. It's very light and comfortable to play. CLASSIC.
Gibson quality all the way. They are making really good guitars. I can tell that alot of time and craftmanship was utilized in the making of this guitar.
The price of this guitar was perfect. I have always wanted a '61 reissue in black. The only problem was whenever I would see one for sale it always had gold hardware. I always wanted a black one with chrome hardware so this model was perfect. The 24 frets is an added bonus. The Gibson case is black exterior with beautiful plush white interior.....smells like a Gibson.
Comments about Gibson Limited Run 50th Anniversary SG Standard 24 Electric Guitar:
An anniversary model well worth the price! 57 Classics sing. Cool hardshell case. Black never looked so tough!! Back in Black!! Insanely rocking guitar!! I stressed over getting this one. Absolutly worth it!!
I've wanted an SG for 20 years... When I saw this model, I knew it was the one! You wont be disapointed!! Plays like a dream!! Easy access to 24th fret, deep cut aways.. Beveled edges front and back... Neck is more meaty than 60's, but feels perfect.. Sustain for days!!
Has a few fleas, but nothing tragic! Not the smooth glossy finish. If you look close, and you will cause this guitar is soo hot, you will see the grains and pits in the mahogany. Neck binding is off a little, can feel a little groove between paint and binding.. Miniature..Minutia.. Felt that on several new Gibsons at GC, on Pauls and SG's.. Hardly noticable.. No problem with tuners..(yet)..
A little more than a Standard, but with 24 frets, totaly worth it!!
Comments about Gibson Limited Run 50th Anniversary SG Standard 24 Electric Guitar:
Sweated and dreamed of this gem since I first saw it. Overall quality is good, only gripe is where neck meets body looks as if a little glue wasn't wiped completely off before they painted it. Minute flaw. Neck feels great, guitar is typical Gibson. Quality all around. Humbuckers are the best, the inclusion of 57's, `61 pickguard, being a 50th Anniversary and 24 fret neck made it irresistible to me. I'm sure some people will get this only for collector aspect and treat it like furniture. But this baby is a players dream. Set up was spot on and action is so low it makes playing a breeze. I sweated on finding one for a little bit. Get this sweetheart while you can and don't even think twice about it.
Comments about Gibson Limited Run 50th Anniversary SG Standard 24 Electric Guitar:
I got mine couple a months ago.I can't put it down.This is a keeper for life.This is my third SG I have the Standard and the 61'reissue in heritage cherry.I got the 50th because its a great deal for this price for a limited time.Get yours soon.Or pay an auction price years later.

Eddie Money Artist Bio and Lyrics
Eddie Money was born on March 21, 1949 in New York, but he moved to California before starting his successful music career. His career yielded many chart- topping singles and albums throughout the late-1970s and 1980s.
Eddie Money's first album of the 1980s was his third release. Playing For Keeps was released in 1980 and rose to number 35 on the US album charts. The album included, "Let's Be Lovers Again," a duet with Valerie Carter.
The Next Eddie Money album in the 1980s came in 1982 with, No Control. No Control was Money's fourth album, and it climbed to number 20 on the US album charts in 1982.
In 1983, Eddie Money released Where's The Party. This album was considerably less successful, only charting number 67 in the US. His next album however, would establish his true fame.
In 1986, Eddie Money released Can't Hold Back. This album sold platinum several years after its release, and peaked at number 20. The main single on the album was, "Take Me Home Tonight," a duet with vocalist Ronnie Spector. That single rose to number 4 in the US, and really helped boost the album into its platinum sales position.
Finally, in 1988 Eddie Money released, Nothing to Lose. From this album on single, "Walk on Water," was very successful, but the rest of the album never really caught on with the public, the album peaked at number 49.

33 year old man | Marina del Rey, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-31 within 15 miles of Santa Monica, CA
Stiff drink ... spicy sandwich
I am an energetic and curious outdoorsman with a thirst for knowledge that never quits. I love a good mystery but I also like to accrue information on different subjects in the hopes of improving my life. I keep my body and mind equally active with an array of hobbies, and enjoy passing on what I learn to others. I can be fairly blunt, but I just believe in telling it like it is and living an honest life. Everyday I try to branch out a little more and try something new. Humility is the key to learning! I'm healthy, happy and stable in my personal and professional lives. There's not much more I could ask for but I do know that the road of self-improvement never ends. I would be a great partner because I never stop trying, especially when it comes to being a good man in the eyes of those I care about. I am very responsible, but also a lot of fun because of my positive perception and high hopes for the future. Honestly my partner could be any of a number of people in terms of lifestyle and personality. Ideally they embrace their strengths and imperfections, and use their integrity for the sake of getting better along the way. My match is undoubtedly smart with a fairly healthy figure that proves she practices what she preaches. She must enjoy being active and value her relationships to the point of being able to admit when she's wrong and recover for the benefit of all. My match tells it, does it and sees it like it is!
