... from flagstaff, Arizona ... just a thought while reading a few of the posts herein, and upon joining this fellowship:"The soul would have no rainbow, if the eyes had no tears; the act of weeping."But the things associated with death will be eliminated as we carry our cross, mortifying the power of the fleshly lusts thereof. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Revelation 21:4)Now this is a promise of total health care!Hope no one has been banned, nor received maledictions on their first post.Blessings to each and everyone. peacemaker
You're banned for being too positive...let's not have that around here! . God's blessing, and welcome...James.
Ha! No cats for me...I don't eat much Chinese food. Jabcat is a nickname I got from my sister when I was about 5 years old...JAB are my initiatls, and she just added 'cat'...the 1960's you know, when we were "cool cats"....

Think back to the four years of Spanish, French or German you took in high school. Don't remember much? You're not alone. Language instruction in America is notoriously ineffective. There's a heavy focus on grammar and vocabulary with almost no practical application or cultural connection.
That's why the Languages Across the Curriculum (LxC) (http://lxc.binghamton.edu/) program at Binghamton is such a revolutionary idea. LxC is not a language instruction program, but a language use program. Its ultimate goal is to give absolutely every Binghamton student — from the most basic language learner to the near-fluent speaker — the opportunity to apply their language skills and intercultural knowledge to a wide range of academic subjects.
For example, back in 2004, a Binghamton history professor gave an assignment to the Spanish-language LxC study group in her class. They were to search Spanish-language newspapers newspapers for articles on the U.S. presidential election and report back on what writers in Spain, Venezuela, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru were saying about Bush and Kerry.
"The students, in addition to learning a variety of perspectives on the elections in the U.S. from the Spanish-speaking world, plus new vocabulary, got an idea of which newspapers fell into what political group," says Dr. Suronda González, director of LxC. As they were learning how to critically read texts, students also gained information about the historical foundations shaping perspectives on relations with the United States.
Every semester, about 10 courses at Binghamton offer LxC study groups. All it takes for LxC's traditional model is five students with an interest in the same language in the same course to form a group. In past years, LxC has supported study groups in Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, French, Hebrew, Japanese and Global English, a group for non-native English speakers that explores English-speaking perspectives worldwide.
In the spring 2008 semester, the World of Business course had LxC study groups in Cantonese, Global English, French, Italian, Korean, three Spanish sections and a multi-lingual section. Multi-lingual study groups are for languages with at least two high-level speakers, but not enough students for a stand-alone group. A multi-lingual group might include two German, two Japanese and two Italian speakers.
The study groups are lead by trained members of Binghamton's remarkably diverse international graduate student population. These Language Resource Specialists (LRS), says González, spend much more class time offering first-person cultural insight than grammar lessons.
What's remarkable about the LxC program is that it works just as well for foreign language novices as for "heritage learners," the over 30 percent of Binghamton undergraduates who grew up speaking a language other than English at home.
"In some instances, there's a disconnect between the language of home and the language of the academic world," says González. "We're trying to emphasize that knowledge is constructed in all of these languages."
González credits the overwhelming success of LxC to the caliber and curiosity of Binghamton students.
"They are the ones who are pushing this program," says González. "They are the ones who are going out and recruiting professors. They are the ones who are saying, "We need this!"

CRESTVIEW — It's understandable that Andrew Linares has garnered a Spanish accent and struggles not to lapse into the language.
The Crestview High School alumnus returned home this week after two years as a missionary in Chile with the Crestview Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
PHOTOS: See photos from Andrew Linares' mission experience in Chile and his homecoming>>
Linares, 21, served in nine sectors in the Santiago area, including two rural communities outside the country's capital city.
Missionaries, referred to as elders, don't get to choose where they will be assigned, but Linares said he requested to serve outside the United States.
"It's really amazing the way we can serve people when we talk about God," he said. "You don't go there as a tourist. You create a brotherhood with them."
He and his partners made most of their rounds and appointments on foot, and experienced Santiago's humid weather.
"It was the hottest place in Chile to be in," he said. "It was like an oven."
Spanish immersion
Though he's now fluent in Spanish, Linares said when he departed two years ago, he could barely speak the language.
"I spoke just a few phrases," he said, laughing. "I had all the animals memorized."
For his mother, Amy, a clinical home health liaison, Andrew's missionary trip was a mixed blessing of pride and maternal concern.
"The hardest thing was in two years I spoke to him only six times," she said.
Missionary rules allowed Andrew to call his mother twice a year, on Mother's Day and Christmas, though he was also allowed to call on two emergency occasions: when he lost his credit card and when a death occurred in the family.
Andrew was allowed to email his mother on Mondays, elders' weekly planning day, when in addition to grocery shopping, housekeeping and doing laundry, they must write to their mothers and the local bishop.
Life experiences
"If anything, (the mission) teaches them vigorous scheduling and time management," Amy Linares said. "He turned 21 over there. He came back acting like a 50-year-old man in terms of life experience."
In addition, Andrew returned 2 inches taller, she said.
Swapping experiences with fellow CHS alumnus Justin Mozina, who returned in October from his missionary trip to Zimbabwe, Andrew said he was warmly welcomed by his Chilean hosts.
"They accepted us from day one," Andrew said. "They love our presence even if some of them don't want to hear our message."
Now that he's returned home, Linares wants to find a job and head to college.
"My next mission in life is to have a family, and I want to study medicine," he said.
He also offered advice for his church's next missionaries.
"Be really humble about what the people say to you and tell you," he said. "They really pour their heart out to you."

Earlier this year we introduced the world to a whole new realm of mythical winged creatures with McFarlane's Dragons: Quest for the Lost King. McFarlane Toys is now set to expand on this concept with the unveiling of McFarlane's Dragons Series 2 -- a whole new set of six reptilian action figures, including a five figure assortment and a deluxe boxed set, made up of six all-new species representing the various dragon Clans established in the original series...
KOMODO CLAN DRAGON 2 -- Making their nests deep beneath the planet's surface, in caverns as dark as a moonless night, Komodo Clan Dragon have an almost unending hunger. Hunting and consuming any living creature that dares venture into its territory.
FIRE CLAN DRAGON 2 -- Only known through rumor and second-hand tellings, this rare breed of Fire Clan Dragon are said to be as fierce as any beast on the planet and impervious to any weapons made by man. Quicker than lightening with a roar to rival the thunder of the Gods, they are also said to be the guardians of a great and unimaginable treasure.
SORCERERS CLAN DRAGON 2 -- High up in the mountains, and hidden away from man, the Sorcerers Clan Dragon conjures and plots, using as an aid the mystical powers of the amber quartz to focus its energy and boosts its considerable power.
WATER CLAN DRAGON 2 -- Gliding through the murky depths of an unknown sea with an ease and grace that contradicts its monstrous appearance, this species of Water Clan Dragon has become legend amongst man. Scarcely seen (even less-so by those who live to tell the tale), it is known as the "Serpent of Death" - destroyer of ships and haunter of many a sailor's fitful dreams. An ill-fate waits for any who happen to cross the wrong shipping lanes.
BERSERKER CLAN DRAGON 2 -- This beast is on a rampage, ready to pounce and devour its fleeing prey. Short-tempered and ravenous, the whole of the Berserker Clan is feared by man.
ETERNAL CLAN DRAGON 2 (deluxe boxed set) -- Wings spread against the swirling winds, an Eternal Clan Dragon, with a storied rider upon its back, takes flight over the mountain peaks. If ever a war were at hand, these massive, agile and swift creatures will no doubt prove to be a deciding factor in the bloody outcome.
With the introduction of these new dragons the mythos of the McFarlane's Dragons world is set to grow as another chapter in what is to be an ongoing and ever-evolving story, written by Todd McFarlane, will be included along with the Eternal Clan Dragon deluxe boxed set.
McFarlane's Dragons Series 2 is set to be released later this year. Stay tuned to the news section of Spawn.com for more details. Enjoy the photos.

The Goose Creek chapter of the NAACP received a short course in politics Monday night.
Incumbent District 15 Representative Samuel Rivers Jr. and Kayin Jones, standing in for Democratic challenger Marian Redish, spoke to the crowd of about 30 people gathered at the chapter's monthly meeting.
Rivers, a Republican in his first term, stressed the importance of creating and maintaining a healthy business climate.
"I have worked hard for my constituents," he said. "I've introduced pro-business legislation to help ensure South Carolina is a business-friendly state. BIPEC (Business and Industry Political Education Committee) commended me for one of the highest scores in the General Assembly this year."
Jones said Redish, who was unable to attend due to a death in her family, wants to make sure social programs such as Medicaid remain intact.
"We will help South Carolina's citizens (if elected)," Jones said. "We're going backward. We need to do better."
Questions from the audience included subjects such as the use of education vouchers, rebuilding of roads and bridges and technical college job training for high school graduates.
Jones said Redish will be a voice for a brighter future: "She will do all she can to provide a better state of being for residents of the 15th District."
Rivers mentioned the controversial voter identification laws in his closing statement, and related a story about his deceased grandmother and her diligence in getting her ID issues sorted out.
"My grandmother, back in the 1980s, drove back and forth from Moncks Corner to Columbia to get her ID problem fixed. Her name had been misspelled on her birth certificate, but she kept at it until she got it fixed.
"You need an ID to fly, to pick up a certified letter," he said. "Are we suggesting African-Americans are that ignornant that they can't get an ID to vote? Of course not. We're better than that."

Submission + - SPAM: How to build a solar panel
With continually rising energy costs, plus the stress that conventional energy production puts on the environment, many people are starting to Go Green. The use of solar panels to supply a home with energy is one great answer for both issues, though the initial cost of having them commercially installed can be prohibitive. However, for the handy person who can use a few simple tools, learning how to build a solar panel is also an option. Even though it might seem like a very complex ordeal, construction of solar panels fairly easy, and much more cost-effective than having panels installed commercially.
How to Build a Solar Panel – Research!
Solar cells/solar wafers come in a variety of types and watts, which all dictates the amount of the sun's energy each cell can harness. Knowing that, and the amount of electricity used by a household, the number of solar cells and panels needed to power a home can be estimated.
How to Build a Solar Pane1 – 3 Standard Cell Types
There are three kinds of solar cells used for panels:
How to build a solar panel: An Amorphous Solar Cell
Amorphous Solar Cell : How to build a Solar Panel
Amorphous – Least expensive, least efficient, requires a surface of almost twice that of more efficient cells. Not recommended.
Mono crystalline – Most expensive, most efficient, uses least surface area. Cost $4-$7 per cell.
Polycrystalline – Less expensive than mono crystalline, slightly less efficient, still much better Amorphous. Cost $1.50 – $3.00 per cell.
For this article mono crystalline solar cells are used.
How To Build a Solar Panel – Materials List
1 2x4 sheet of pegboard
1 2x4 sheet of pressure-treated plywood, 3/8 or 1/2 thickness
1 2x4 sheet of plexiglass
2 1x2x10 wood furring strips
36 mono crystalline solar cells
Wood Glue
Deck Screws
1 Drywall Screws
Silver Solder
Rosin Flux Pen
Tabbing Wire
Bus Wire
Transparent Silicon Caulk
UV Protectant Sealant (like deck sealant), white or light color
Tools Required
Drill Bits
Hand Saw
Paint Brush
Caulk Gun
Soldering Iron w/flat tip – 40 to 65w
Scissor (for cutting tabbing wire)
Volt Meter
Junction Box
How to Build a Solar Panel Step 1 – Making the Frame
For a solar panel to be most efficient, cells should cover as much of the panel as possible and frames should have low-profile edging that will not cause shadows. Standard sized monocrystalline cells allow room for 12 cells down the board, three cells across, with a 2.5 border on the edge for the furring strips and about 1/4 between each cell. 36 cells are always required, no matter what the cell size, to make a functioning solar panel.
Use furring strips to build a frame around edges of the plywood, laying them flat so they have the lowest profile. Using wood glue and deck screws, attach the strips to make a nice, tight frame.
Cut the pegboard so it fits comfortably into frame. It does not need to be perfectly tight; the pegboard acts as ventilation for the solar cells.
Set the plexiglass sheet on top of the frame to make sure it fits to size, which it should, with no modification. Clamp plexiglass sheet to the frame for drilling. Then, with a small diameter bit, carefully drill a pilot hole through the plexiglass, into the wood frame; this will help keep the plexiglass from cracking. Drill again with a slightly larger bit, gradually increasing bit size until drywall screws will fit snugly, yet still bite into the wood frame. Lastly, drill a countersink with a larger bit for a seat for the the screw heads. Once the whole sheet and frame is drilled every 4 to 6 all the way around, remove the plexiglass and set aside.
Paint the frame and the pegboard with 2-3 coats of UV Protect ant Sealant. Make sure to paint both sides of the frame and the pegboard. Be sure to allow time for each coat to dry before applying another one.
After all surfaces of the frame and pegboard are painted and have dried, fit the pegboard into the frame and attach securely to the plywood with decking screws. Paint over screw heads afterward.
How to Build a Solar Panel Step 2: Tabbing the Solar Cells
Lay two cells top to bottom on a clean, flat, rigid surface face up. Measure out a length of tabbing tape that spans from the top of the first cell to the bottom of the second one, leaving 1/4 to 3/8 between them. Cut two lengths per cell. For 36 cells, 72 lengths should be cut.
For each cell, using the rosin flux pen, apply flux down the entire line of the existing tabbing contacts that came on the cell (there are 2) to prepare them for soldering. Apply a tiny blob of solder to the top end of each contact, making sure none flows over the edge. Then, take the pre-cut tabbing tape and carefully solder ends down with the dab of solder already on the cell. This provides a means to steady the tabbing tape for proper soldering.
Holding the strip of tabbing tape flat against the cell, over the fluxed contact tape, carefully solder over it, connecting it to the contact on the cell. Getting a flat, seamless application for a good connection is critical. This may take a little bit of practice. Do both strips on the cell. Repeat the same thing for all 36 cells.
How to Build a Solar Panel Step 3: Connecting Tabbed Solar Cells
Once all 36 cells have their two tabs securely attached they need to be strung together. Lay 12 cells face down in a long line on a clean, flat surface (soldered-on tabbing tape will be underneath), but with the extra lengths of tabbing tape brought up to the top, overlapping the next cell in the line. The cells have square tabbing contacts on their backs, rather than strips.
Flux each square tab contact, then proceed to solder the tabbing tape from the front of the first cell to the back tab contacts of the second cell, leaving 1/4 to 3/8 between them. All of the tabbing tape should now be attached, with the front of Cell #1 soldered to the back of Cell #2, except for two 'leads' coming off the last cell in the line. Do not cut those off!
Repeat until 12 cells are soldered together to make one long chain. Create 2 more chains of 12 cells each the same way.
How to Build a Solar Panel Step 4: Arranging and Wiring Solar Cells on the Frame
There are now 3 strings of 12 cells each. Arrange them on the frame. Place all three strings face-up, spacing them so they are evenly placed to make straight rows. Take the middle string and rotate the whole thing in the frame by 180 degrees to change the direction of current flow. Once they are again evenly placed, carefully put a blob of clear silicon caulk on the underside of each cell IN THE CENTER ONLY and gently affix to the pegboard. Don't press too hard as the cells are fragile and could crack. Do this until all 36 cells are affixed, making 3 neat rows.
Connect the three strings together with some bus tape, which is thicker than tabbing tape to carry more current. Starting with the upper left tile, go to the bottom of that string and solder a bus wire onto those two tabs, spanning to the cell on the row next to it (the row that has been rotated). Solder a tabbing wire "lead" to the tabs on that cell if necessary, extending the tabs, then use those to solder to the bus wire. The bus wire should be soldered to 4 tabs, connecting to the two cells.
Follow the second string back up to the top and solder in a bus wire from the tabs sticking up on that cell, to the top cell on the third string. Those two connections are all that's needed. At the last cell in the last string, tab wires should be soldered together with a length of bus wire, completing the circuit.
Set the panel in the sun for a while and test it with a voltmeter to make sure it works. If there is a reduced wattage reading, check to make sure strings are actually wired negative to positive to negative.
Wiring from the bus wire at the end of the circuit, connect to a junction box that can be placed on the back of the panel. Drill a hole through the frame to put the connecting wires through, then seal the hole with silicon caulk.
How to Build a Solar Panel Step 5: Sealing the Panel
Now that everything is finished and working, screw the plexiglass cover back into place and test the panel again. If all seems well, the panel can be sealed silicon caulk and allowed to dry. The solar panel is ready to be used by being wired into a battery or controller.
Besides what is listed above,there are many other types of solar cells which we will update this article on How to build a solar panel at Energy-Geek.com. For another method try this method on How to Build a solar panel from Ehow."

Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy Carbon/SRAM X0 Complete Bike $0.00
Dangle a two-pound hammer between your thighs, and you'll understand why chassis weight is a big deal. Given that, Santa Cruz's Tallboy Carbon reduces the mountain bike pendulum anywhere from a pound-and-a-half to two-pounds compared to similarly outfitted tin-can 29ers.
By reducing the weight that you have to drag uphill, Santa Cruz heightened the trail experience for the way up the mountain. And, just as importantly, this weight reduction increases the Tallboy's maneuverability while you send the trail down back down. Complementing those positive qualities is a SRAM X0, Easton EA70, Avid, and FOX Complete Bike Build. In other words, this means that the shifting, braking, and steering are just as responsive to bio-inputs as the chassis is itself.
Index fingers and thumbs are treated to left and right X0 shifters which control a 2x10 drivetrain. This consists of TruVativ's X0 GXP crankset with 26/39t rings upfront, and an 11-36t, PC-1050 cassette outback. Guided by the shifters is an X0 front and X0 Type2 rear derailleur. The index fingers also get to enjoy the carbon levers that are found on Avid's powerful X0 Trail brakes. The rear rotor is 160mm, but at the front is a 180mm rotor. And, given the 120mm-travel FOX FLOAT that's leading this Tallboy Carbon, the increased leverage will nicely offset the higher downhill speeds that it warrants. Like the CTD dampened FLOAT occupying the rear, the fork also has FOX's easy-to-use Climb, Trail, and Descend dampening settings to optimize ride quality for the conditions at hand.
However, what's connected to these FOX goodies is what makes this crosscountry bike the sought after beast that it is. Santa Cruz's time-tested formula for carbon has become the industry standard. Santa Cruz's engineers use a one-piece layup and curing process, as opposed to assembling joints. Essentially, this eliminates any excess material or weight. However, when compared to standard layups, the resulting Tallboy structure better distributes loads and absorbs impact energy with far more efficiency.
Furthermore, this structure creates a strong and light chassis for Santa Cruz's proprietary, 100mm-travel VPP suspension to work its magic. VPP features upper (carbon) and lower (aluminum) links that permit trail inputs to be controlled by the shock. Concurrently, VPP is filtering chain, braking, and bio-forces from the picture. Additionally, this neutralizes brake-induced lockout, pedal-bob, and squatting during acceleration, which ultimately creates one of the most efficient, yet active, suspension designs available.
For durability, Santa Cruz added easily-serviceable grease ports in the aluminum alloy lower-link. The pivots are also oversized with 15mm locking axle pins that run on intricately-sealed bearings with one-way purging seals -- this ensures long maintenance intervals. Additionally, Santa Cruz topped it off with titanium hardware, where applicable, in order to keep the weight as low as possible. And for rolling stock, this X0 Complete Bike rides on Easton EA70 XCT wheels that have been cased in 2.2-inch Geax Saguaro tires. Completing the build is an EA70 steam, an EA70 XC Carbon handlebar, and an EA70 seatpost that's supporting a Selle Italia SL saddle.
The Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy Carbon/SRAM X0 Complete Bike is available in the sizes Medium, Large, X-Large and in the colors Carbon/Red and Blue/Black/White.

Awesome Value!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is one of the better mtn bikes we offer on CC and probably the best value for your money. The Tallboy is a light weight, agile Xc bike that performs well under lots of different types of terrain. It climbs extremely well and is ultra-comfortable on epic rides but can be a deadly racer on the circuit. I have had the opportunity to ride this bike several times and i must say it always leaves a smile on my face. If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up.
These are custom builds so components are changeable. I would be happy to assist you with any questions or price quotes for upgrades. My direct line is 801-736-6396 x 4074 or e-mail email@example.com
** if you dont see your size available we could switch the frame for a Tallboy 2-still at an amazing deal. Contact me for details.
I"m a fan!!

I purchased the Santa Cruz Tallboy in December and have several rides on it now. Coming off of a Stumpy Elite 26", I was a little worried about a 29er's handling in tight trails but this thing is 4 pounds lighter and just as nimble. The main difference was that it climbs and descends with confidence vs. a 26. I have more clearance at the chainrings and the integrated XO bashgard is great. I love this bike and won't look back. I would suggest changing out the wheels and installing pads at the end of the cranks to keep from banging up the carbon near the pedal. I put a Mavic Crossmax wheel set on mine as they are bullet proof. Very worthy bike for the money.

I love this bike. Fast. Climbs unbelievably well. The shock controls are superb and easy to adjust mid-race. Most notably is how it eats rocks while others are trudging through them. I am a very satisfied customer.

One of the best all around full suspension 29ers. Climbs and descends superbly. Great for all day adventures or XC racing. I have it in medium. SC makes the top tubes a little short so check the numbers and if anything size up. A true Jack of all trades !

By Chris King, Special to the NNPA from The St. Louis American –
There is no mainstream institution in the St. Louis region that addresses, head-on, the issues of race more consistently or effectively than the Missouri History Museum under the direction of Robert R. Archibald. With American I AM: the African American Imprint at the museum through September 25, we asked Archibald about the exhibit and his tenacity in hosting shows like this in St. Louis.
The St. Louis American: Tell me about American I AM and why you wanted to show it in St. Louis.
Robert R. Archibald: When organizations were solicited for proposals and expressions of interest, we made sure we had somebody there at the first meeting with their hands up first. We were not the first venue to show it, but we were first on the list.
The exhibit is a journey of 300 or 400 years of African and African-American history. From an object standpoint, there are African art objects that Dr. Suggs tells me are of extremely rare and beautiful quality. It has the African cultural background to the enforced enslavement of African people – for instance, the doors from a castle where people were imprisoned before shipment. There are some macabre instruments of slavery. And there are some just amazing things, like Langston Hughes' original manuscript and typewriter. It has the real stuff in it.
It also documents the ways African Americans have persisted and achieved and made huge contributions, despite all the obstacles placed in their way. The message of the exhibit is these are really strong people who learned to be strong and had to be strong and who represent in many ways the best of what humans are. For people of African descent, we are looking at something really empowering that underscores all the things we know to be true. For people who are not of African descent, this is an opportunity to stand in the shoes of African Americans and view the world from their extraordinary perspective.
The exhibit is set up with a quote from W.E.B. Du Bois: "Would America be America without our Negro citizens?" The answer the exhibit gives is a resounding, "No!" To be American is to be an inheritor of the African-American experience.
I wanted to bring it here because we are looking at a community that self-evidently is grasping at all kinds of fixes (and I don't mean to minimize them), whether it be a cargo hub or attempting to attract this business or that business, but in the end we need to create a community where people want to live. And, people want to live in places where there is reasonable equity and people get along reasonably well and civic agendas are pursued with respect for democratic process and there is not a huge discrepancy between the richest people and the poorest people and where the community is not segregated.
And, when we look at St. Louis, deep down in our hearts and souls we know something is wrong that we are even reluctant to talk about, and that thing we are reluctant to talk about is the fact that our disparities too often are based on race and it is those disparities that hold us back. So, my hope in bringing the exhibit here is to make one more little effort to build bridges and get people to stand in each other's shoes and build a better understanding of people in St. Louis of African descent.
The American: You must sometimes get pushback and hear from the public or from your board members, "Enough with race!"
Robert Archibald: As for pushback, not very much, really. I get crank calls from racists, probably the same people call you as well, but not many.
We come at it at different angles. Last year we did Are We So Different?, which was an anthropological look at the idea of race, at whether skin color makes genetic sense as a basis to make distinctions between people. It wasn't about people of African descent specifically, but all people. American I AM celebrates a specific people and their history.
Yes, you're right, they do both deal with race, but it isn't accusatory, we are not accusing anyone of racism. We are trying to overcome the barriers and boundaries and distinctions between people based on race.
People expect us to be a neutral forum for these debates and exhibits. If we don't get some reaction, then what we're doing is not very important. It's important to deal with difficult topics but never to push people away, because in doing so you lose audience, and when you lose audience you lose effectiveness.

Being the parent of a troubled teen or adolescent may be one of the most difficult challenges you will face during your lifetime. It is crucial that your child gets the treatment needed before it is too late.
Adolescence is a very crucial time of a child's life as it is a time to prepare for adulthood. This period is difficult enough without having your child experiencing '"abnormal" behaviors. Parents often think this troublesome behavior is a phase that will cease. However, it is not worth waiting until your child transitions into adulthood since the recovery period will be more difficult. As the old adage says, "the sooner the better." Early intervention is the key to a positive outcome.
But parents may not know where to turn for help/ Residential Treatment Centers (RTCs), have been known to provide successful outcomes for children and families. They are not for every child, however in some cases these centers can be the "turning point" to a child's success and recovery.
An RTC is a facility that specializes in the treatment of a number of mental health issues. RTCs are dedicated to the complete rehabilitation of your struggling child. Placing a child in a residential setting may make parents feel guilty they are sending their child away, but sometimes removing your child from the family environment is necessary for a successful recovery. Also keep in mind that RTCs support family involvement because professionals know that family plays a large role in the success of the child's treatment and healing process. RTCs are also temporary, with the goal of having the child return home upon successful completion of the treatment program.
An RTC offers a personal atmosphere where your child is in the company of others who suffer from similar issues. Living and undergoing treatment with other youth experiencing similar difficulties provides a strong support structure, which results in better awareness, faster healing and personal growth. The children are able to share feats and defeats and encourage one another.
An important advantage of an RTC is that the environment may be less threatening and more healing than a psychiatric hospital. Children in an RTC setting often function like a family, and it allows for a much deeper connection between the child and the treatment team. An RTC provides food, clothing, individual and group therapy, therapeutic recreation and social and life skills training. The children also attend schools that meet the education requirements placed by the Board of Education so there is no danger of them falling behind in their studies.
If you are a parent of a troubled teen, perhaps an RTC is the solution to your problem. Kidspeace offers residential treatment in four states and has a proven success rate for more than 130 years. Treatment is essential as it provides the tools needed by youth in crisis to turn their lives around. As always, KidsPeace is there to give hope, help and healing to children, families and communities.

All interested:
What a world this has become.
I've just poked through a thread on these here message boards wherein the opening poster wondered aloud why one of King's recent novels contained so much profanity, disturbing themes and blasphemy. Wouldn't it be possible, the poster asked, to place the equivalent of a warning on the cover (the OP had received an e-version of King's novel) that would announce that these sorts of things were to found inside. Going one better, the OP asked if a sanitized version of King's novel was available, wherein all of these things were edited out.
So far the response of the message board's community has been predictably balanced; kudos to all for not blowing their stacks after having their lids flipped.
I guess we all realize that there are folks who love their "litterachure" sanitized: No use of the term 'nigger' in Huckleberry Finn; no reference to slavery in 'Roots'; no reference to war in 'War and Peace' and so on and so on. More often than not, these same sorts of folks believe an author like J.D. Salinger was out to corrupt the morals of American youth, and therefore it made perfect sense that his books ought to be banned in all public schools; that Salman Rushdie ought to be put to death for offending Allah and Islam by mentioning an inconvenient fact of history; that Alexander Solzhenitsyn, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, ought to have been shot for questioning the excesses and insanity of authoritarianism (and even today, in Putin's Russia, journalists that attempt to expose the excesses and corruption of government are considered fair game for execution by Putin's ultra-nationalist allies). Just like me, folks who see merit in sanitization are entitled to their opinions. Just like me, they can exercise their choice not to purchase (and read) things that are likely to upset their sensibilities. Unlike me, however, they *believe* they're absolutely and unquestionably justified in dictating to others what that range of choice ought to be.
King himself has addressed this sort of issue a long time ago in an essay titled, 'Book-Banners: Adventure in Censorship is Stranger Than Fiction'. It makes worthwhile reading, and I'm certain it's posted somewhere around here. Whether you agree with any of his observations or not is likely a moot point. But his closing comment pretty much sums up what the real situation is. It reads: " If there's one American belief I hold above all others, it's that those who would set themselves up in judgment on matters of what is "right" and what is "best" should be given no rest; that they should have to defend their behavior most stringently. No book, record, or film should be banned without a full airing of the issues. As a nation, we've been through too many fights to preserve our rights of free thought to let them go just because some prude with a highlighter doesn't approve of them."
Freedom of thought is inextricably linked to the freedom of expression. You cannot have one without the other. True, you may not always agree with what others think and feel, and sometimes the opinions of others will prove themselves downright inane, if not offensive. But herein is the challenge of being a thinking human being and a responsible citizen. We're all attempting to make the wisest choices possible when it comes to moral, ethical and legal issues, and there's no offense in making a suggestion that's entirely based on one's own faith. But perhaps instead of putting the cart before the horse, one should attempt to exercise better judgement by *thinking* before acting.
Looking forward to reading the responses of others!

Spawn.com Chats with Figure Subject A-Rod in the Flesh
Friday, September 10, 2004
On Sept. 1, McFarlane Toys was centerfield at Yankee Stadium as 18,000 fans 14 and under left with a unique collectible. The Yankees gave away an Alex Rodriguez/Derek Jeter 3-inch two-pack featuring both players in pinstripes. The two-pack also featured a coupon for the night's sponsor, Modell's Sporting Goods.
Here are photos of some very happy fans and members of the McFarlane Staff who made it out to the game:
McFarlane Toys got a few moments with Alex Rodriguez before the game to get his thoughts on the two-pack featuring him and his teammate.
Q: So how do you feel about a figure being made of you for this giveaway?
Alex: I think it's cool that I get to be paired up with Derek and see myself in a Yankees uniform. McFarlane puts out such high-quality items, the detail is amazing in a figure that small. I am honored to be a part of it.
Q: What is it about McFarlane figures that appeals to you?
Alex: I just think it's a unique way for fans to connect with their favorite players. They did not have such things when I was a kid, we collected baseball cards, because that's all there really was to collect.
Q: If you could have us create a figure for you of a favorite player, what would it be?
Alex: Keith Hernandez as a Met, charging toward home plate to field a bunt; he made that play countless times like no one else could.
Q: What other products would you like to see?
Alex: I think it would be cool to capture great moments in history. I can picture Kirk Gibson's home run in the '88 World Series, with him pumping his fist, or Fisk waving his home run fair in the '75 series, Jackie Robinson stealing home in the World Series against the Yankees, or one of my favorites, Cal Ripken when he broke Gehrig's streak.
Q: You will likely have a new figure in 2005. If you could pick your pose what would it be?
Alex: I know they have made me as a Ranger with a follow-through swinging (like the mini figure), and backhanding a ball, but I'd like to see me in another hitting pose, wearing the home pinstripes, maybe in the batter's box, ready to swing ... I'm just excited to get a new figure.
Q: Did you know that we make athletes in retro uniforms from their previous teams, like Barry Bonds as a Pirate, Roger Clemens in a Red Sox uniform and you as a Mariner?
Alex: Really? I didn't know that, but I 'd love to get the Mariners figure; then eventually, I can have a figure from all three teams I've played for.
Look for the Yankees and McFarlane Toys to partner up for another giveaway during the 2005 season.

Hi there, Bratzies! It's Cloe and I'm hereto dish about Fall Beauty trends that I'm totally into this season. With so many trends out right now it was hard to choose, but I narrowed it down to my top 2. What do you think is the best Fall Beauty Trend right now?
Trend 1: The Cat-Eye
I talked about the cat-eye in post a few months back & I am so excited to see that it was a hit on the runways this year. This beauty look always comes in-and-out of fashion and this year it is SO IN! I love the trend because it looks awesome on my eyes and it's perfect for the nights I want to get glammed up. To get this look take eye pencil or powder eyeliner…depending on eye, hair & skin color you can use different shades of black, brown, gray or even blue. First, lightly outline the eye on the top and bottom lid. Next, extend a line of color on the outer corner of you eye, but be careful not to extend the line too long. Voila, you completed the cat-eye! Now bat those lashes because you look great!
Trend 2: Nude Lips
Nude lips have been totally trendy for some time now and I'm hoping it never goes away. As a total sports junkie sometimes I don't have time to get all dolled up after a soccer game, so I like being able to throw on some chapstick or clear gloss and call it a day! Plus, nude lips goes from day to night and looks good on every gal. Grab your favorite flavored chapstick or gloss, swipe it across the lips and showoff that beautiful smile!
As always Bratzies, remember to ask your parents for permission before trying any of these makeup trends.
Happy Fall, beautiez!

The three eccentric, ambitious and funny sisters Rosensweig gather in a posh London townhouse to celebrate a birthday and lots of unexpected fireworks ensue.
"The Sisters Rosensweig" centers on three accomplished American Jewish sisters who reunite for a birthday dinner where unexpected guests, romance and sibling rivalry set off unexpected land mines and unexpectedly sky rockets the evening's entertainment.
The late Pulitzer Prize-winner Wendy Wasserstein received the William Inge Award for Distinguished Achievement in American Theatres for this play and is one of America's best loved playwrights.
Fun Fact: In South of Broadway's production the 'Sisters' are all played by actresses named Linda (or Lynda). They are played by the highly accomplished and local favorites: Linda Eisen, Linda Esposito and Linda Harvey-Carter.
The play is directed by South of Broadway's (SOBTC) Artistic Director, Mark Gorman, whose work consistently receives high praise. Past accomplishments includes "Season to Season" (co-production with Contemporary Theatre Lab), "The Last Flapper," "More Fun Than Bowling," "Gideon's Knot" and most recently "No Exit".
"Mark Gorman is clearly expert at knowing how to use every inch of the stage from an infinite number of angles." - Charlestontoday.net, Carol Furtwangler, 9/13
The sisters Rosensweig are three extraordinary Brooklyn-born Jewish women. Sara is managing director of the European branch of an international bank and she lives an ostensibly happy, man-free-life in London with her intelligent daughter, Tess. Pfeni is an eccentric travel writer who pursues an unsatisfactory relationship with Geoffrey, a bisexual theatre director. And Gorgeous (the role for which Madeline Kahn won a Tony in the 1993 Broadway production) has the perfect husband and family in Massachusetts, where she pursues a "funsy" career as an advice-giving radio show host.
When the sisters meet up at Sara's house in Holland Park, London to celebrate her 54th birthday, reawakened familial bonds cause each women to confront her past and her future. This self-exploration is sometimes painful, but the reunion is made very interesting by the arrival of the New Yorker, Merv, a furrier who takes a shine to Sara. Falling in love at 54 is not impossible, but who said it was meant to be easy?
The performances are at South of Broadway Theatre Company, 1080 E. Montague Avenue (in the Olde Village Park Circle Area), North Charleston Oct. 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 26, at 7:30 p.m. and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20. All shows are $18.

"I wanted an invitation for my husband's 60th birthday, that I knew he would be comfortable with. While this invitation is more on the formal side it reflects his interest in wine and his taste for more classic styles. I was so happy to find it was an option! The paper and envelope are very nice and I'm glad I didn't pay for an upgrade. The rush service went as planned. The return address printing on the envelopes appears to be limited to two lines. If you live in a multiple dwelling this could be a problem."
"The paper was excellent quality & thick stock. The text print was great & the customer service superb. The colors & design of the card were great so I didn't change that. I appreciated the free review & normal etiquite changes. Although this was seen originally for a birthday celebration, it was able to be changed/personalized for a wedding rehearsal dinner since it followed the theme. I was unable to find anything like this with other print businesses."
"We used this for a birthday party invite for a baby. Love how it is completely customizable. Very quick review process. Incredibly fast shipping. I have bought multiple items from this site and have always been very impressed."
"This one was for a tough client...my FAMILY. When the request came in for us to handle design and decor for our grandmother's 80th surprise b-day, hands down I knew where to turn. The fam liked the sample so much, we just ordered them for the event and will base the theme around its' design. Slam dunk babee!"
"I ordered this for my daughter's 30th Birthday party and it was her exact colors for her party and the invitations were well received by all."

The award was presented to Graham at the agency's 55th annual summit held in Savannah.
Graham was appointed Jones County's EMA director and fire Chief in 2009 by the Jones County Board of Commissioners.
Commissioner Tommy Robinson is the chairman of the county's EMA Committee and has worked closely with Graham. After hearing about the award, he commented that the director has been a tremendous asset to the citizens of Jones County.
"Don brings with him his seemingly unrelenting energy, fortitude, and fervent love for emergency management. He has constantly exceeded the call of duty and is very adept at planning, recruiting, and training," the commissioner said.
He added that Jones County is very blessed to have such a professional and dedicated individual on board.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga linebacker Nakevion Leslie is the Southern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league office announced today. Leslie recorded a game-high 14 tackles in the Mocs 20-10 win over No. 15 Wofford on Saturday.
With three of the Mocs top-5 linebackers out or limited with injuries, Leslie stepped into the starting strong linebacker position. His 14 tackles were 10 more than his previous high for a game and more than doubled his season total.
Leslie also posted his first career sack in the game. The Powder Springs, Ga., native has played in every game this season and Saturday was his third start of the year. This is the first freshman honor of the season for a Moc.
Chattanooga defeated Wofford 20-10 on Saturday to clinch at least a tie for the Southern Conference Championship for the first time since 1984. UTC can win its first outright SoCon title since 1979 with a victory Saturday at Samford.
Kickoff against the Bulldogs is set for 3:00 p.m. (E.S.T.). The game will broadcast live on the Mocs Sports Network on ESPN 105.1 FM The Zone and online on ESPN3.com.

My sister was hit by a traveler insured driver at an intersection. The Travelers insured driver ran through a stop sign at a T intersection going 55 and hit my sister passenger side door while she was traveling 40 on the road obeying all traffic laws. She fractured her neck. This was back in 2004/2005. Although the police report holds her absolutely unaccountable, Travelers refuses to pay her medical bills. They have done nothing but delay the trial. Meanwhile my sister had to drop out of school where she had a 4.0 and played collegiate sports.. she is in constant pain and will need at least 2 or three surgery's in the next 20 years.
Right now she has extreme injury throughout her back and experienced traumatic brain injury (her memory is clearly been altered since the accident, we all notice a change). Her life has been on hold for 5 years. They have been hiring private investigators to follow her and found nothing. They now "hired" a doctor to exam her which she just left and apparently he did not xray her, MRI her, and barely touched her back saying she mysteriously developed fibromyalgia and the fact she can't lift her arms above her shoulder are because of this disease that developed and not because she was t-boned in an accident in which the combined speed was 110 mph and the only reason she lived is because of her air bag.
WHY WHY WHY!!! They are ruining her life! She was a victim of a Traveler insured driver.. she will never play college sports again, she can barely make it through the whole day without pain... TRAVELERS IS EVIL! This is not right! Please help me get this company its due! I will go on television. I will talk to reporters. I will do anything!!! This is not right... they should pay for her medical bills so she can go through a day without extreme pain!! Anyone with suggestions please let me know!!! Apparently, because she has soft muscle damage the insurance company sees this as a pass in which they can get out of paying her on behalf of their client. My sister does not deserve this!!
This is an email I sent to travelers last week and have received no response. I am hoping after 3 months to finally have my vehicle back this week-- "The accident occurred on May 5, 2009 and my car is still not repaired. The adjuster on the project was less than adequate as he was neither timely nor accurate. The slow response time and approach of one thing at a time resulted in the longest lead time item not be ordered until at least 3 weeks after the accident. I had even contacted Mercedes Benz Corporate directly to try to expedite the new wiring harness but was told that the earliest it would be delivered would be 7/31.
Yesterday I stopped by the body shop and I found out the harness came in late last week and the vehicle had to be flat bedded over to the local MB dealer for installation that cost $3000. All toll, as of yesterday the vehicle has cost about $40,000 to repair, required over 200 individual replacement parts and has been unavailable to me for nearly 3 months. When you add in the rental car cost of approximately $5000 that will be reimbursed by the other insurance company (the accident has been deemed 100% the other drivers fault as she admitted to running a red light and was sited by the police at the accident scene) which means the other company is out $45,000 repairing a vehicle with a RETAIL value of $57,190.
Initially, and I am working on memory here given the time that has passed, the adjuster wrote the claim for well under $20,000. Because the adjuster was clearly incompetent and failed to listen to either me or the owner of the auto body shop as to the real cost of repairing my truck what has occurred is both a disservice to me as the policy holder and the other insurance company as the cost skyrocketed.
You don't need to be a (supposedly) trained adjuster to realize that the salvage value of a 2008 Mercedes GL320 CDI far exceeds the difference between what it cost all in to repair and the retail value of the vehicle and the both fair and wise thing to do would have been to total the vehicle as I had requested soon after the accident occurred.
Even worse is that I will never be convinced that having sustained the kind of damage my vehicle suffered that it will ever drive the same. This has been a total disservice to all involved and I would like someone to follow up with me and explain why this happened and what action will be taken to rectify this. I need this resolved to my satisfaction or I intend to move my policy to another carrier.
HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA -- I have great credit, great driving record. All was going well and then they stated since my roommate who is disabled does not own a car but has a license has to be put on my insurance. I told them he had a heart attack and was on medication and would not be driving my car. However, they will not insure me unless a doctor gives them a note stating my roommate can drive. Got to love an insurance company that will not ensure you for having a disabled roommate. This tells me this company is a sunny day friend, and the first time something happens they will drop you. I will not be doing business with a company that denies coverage based on disablement.
LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA -- Travelers has located their claims agents and Enterprise Rental centers within full-service auto-repair centers. You drive your damaged auto to one place, get the claim settled, and drive out in the rental. Return is just as convenient. I brought in my daughter's car to a Travelers Concierge in the pouring rain. We drove into a huge garage bay, while the Travelers agent processed the claim the Enterprise agent drove the rental next to our car, we transferred items to the rental, signed the forms, and drove off. TIME: less than an hour! I'm 55 and have never had such an incredible experience. And co-location must also make good business sense.
NEW JERSEY -- Travelers were very helpful in the initial call when my wife and I decided to change insurance companies. we were in the process of trying to save a couple of dollars and they seem keen on helping as with most companies. in any event just after ONE month their underwriting department did a re-evaluation of the homes and found that the cost to rebuild would be twice as much as they originally quoted in addition to a $395k home it would cost them over a million dollars to rebuild... yes 1 million dollars... to say the least when we made the switch we saved $600 a year at least that's what we thought!
We called and they simply said it is what it is! We're now in the process of seeking new insurance quotes! This business practice STINKS! Bait you in with a low quote and stick it to you 30-60 days later... hope you found this helpful and not becoming a victim to TRAVELERS!
CALIFORNIA -- Just had an insurance claim processed for damage to my BMW which was rear ended on the way home from Thanksgiving with my family on the 5 freeway. Travelers adjusters and everyone were great is taking care of my claim over the holiday weekend, making sure I had a rental car immediately and an adjuster out to help expedite the repair of my vehicle. I was able to use my own mechanic's recommendation of a body shop to use, which was important to me as a single women, feeling like I was dealing with people I trusted. The claim was paid and settled without any drama, and they are pursuing reimbursement from the other party's insurance. Highly recommend Travelers Insurance.
Travelers Insurance refuses to pay damages even if damages are written in police report. Police report specifically states their driver was at fault, and that I was NOT. Report also states damages were caused as a result of the accident to sections 3 and 4 of my car, and Travelers only wants to cover section 4. Since section 3 is damage done to passenger rear door, it is obvious why they do not want to cover it, as this would be more costly. This insurance company is rude, and horrible to work with. They state they try to contact you "multiple" times, even though they only leave ONE message.
Stay away from Traveler's Auto Insurance. I had the worst claims adjuster ever. She was very aggressive, rude, and spent time berating me after my recorded interview concerning the accident. She announced that she was turning off the recorder, then proceeded to blast me! She was very condescending and preached to me about what I had to do to avoid the accident I had been in.
How can Travelers put this kind of person on the phone to settle claims? People are upset enough when they have an accident. They don't need claims adjusters verbally attacking them. I have been checking out complaints and reviews on them since my experience and see that I am not alone. I'll research better before choosing my next Insurance company out my next company.
I am insured by Travelers and was involved in a collision with another car, where the other driver received a ticket for improper use of lane. The police officer told me it was the other driver's fault, and that he had no business driving where he was driving. Of course, the other driver's company denied responsibility for the claim, so I asked Travelers to pursue it.
They refused, saying that I was at least 1% responsible for the accident. They would NOT listen at all to the facts, that the other driver should not have been driving where he was, insisting that I should have yielded to him. My explanation of the impossibility of yielding to someone who shouldn't have been there in the first place fell on deaf and patronizing ears, and the claims supervisor told me, "Ma'am, I am a licensed driver. Don't tell me how to drive." They had no interest in helping me at all.
However, the part that REALLY got me upset was when the claims supervisor told me, "You really would have been better off if your child had been injured." Excuse me?!?!?!?!? Yes! He suggested that I would have a better chance of getting my insurance company, who I have paid on time for years, to help me if my child had sustained an injury! What kind of person says such a thing? That is when I hung up. As soon as my car is repaired and the claim closed, I am terminating my policy with this company and advise all of you to think twice about dealing with a company with such values.
I got into a wreck with one of Travelers' insurers. It was not my fault to start with, however, the adjuster wanted a tape recorded conversation, then wanted to visit my house. As if I were lying, even though the other party admitted to be at fault, I felt like the adjuster was interrogating me. Then, the adjuster offered pennies for my loss and they're concierge center gave the lowest estimate to fix my car. The estimate they gave would not be half way enough to fix my car. Dealing with this insurance company is a big headache. I feel sorry for anybody who has to deal with them. They will give you the run around and they care nothing for their insurers or the loss claimee's.
I think they should be outlawed. So, don't look forward to resolving any claims with Travelers unless you retain an attorney. These people are non caring and ruthless. I would recommend that consumers run far, far, away from this company because they do not have no one's best interest but theirs. I am completely dissatisfied with them and plan to contact The Federal Trade Commission and The Insurance Commission. This is the only way to resolve conflicts like this because these agents don't respond, so a Government official is likely to be able to put fire under their noses!!!!!!!!

Buying Tips
Take a break in the shadea canopy or screen room is a must for your next outing. Think about how you will use your canopy:
Pop-up or instant canopies are constructed of lightweight materials for simple assembly. These mild-weather canopies can be set up in a matter of minutes. They usually come with ground stakes for added sturdiness.
Beach shelters are designed for lounging ocean-side in the sand. For added utility, choose a shelter with sun-resistant vinyl. And your team can cool off on the benches beneath a team shelter, designed for use on the sidelines.
Expert Advice
Always consider the components of your shelter, most importantly the tarp and the frame.
Polyester tarps are durable and water-resistant, but not waterproof. If youre setting up a semi-permanent structure, look for a polyethylene tarp. This material is both waterproof and UV-ray resistant. Polyethylene canopies with vinyl coating are also flame-retarding.
Steel frames are sturdy and ultra-durable, but heavy. If youre looking for a structure thats easy to carry, look for an aluminum frame. This material is resistant to corrosion and rust but does not handle well in windy conditions.
