After dealing with housekeeping items, such as approval of the minutes of past meetings and accounts payable at the May 6 meeting, Mayor Gus Wilson quickly moved into agenda items, which consisted totally of new business items.
The first to be heard from was Ben Elbe, representing Peachtree Housing Communities, a company interested in building an apartment building in the city limits.
Elbe said the project will span 7½ acres off Highway 18 East at Office Park Drive, and the development would consist of 60-64 units. He said the original plan was for a senior development, but new information may mean the development could also include families.
The estimated cost of the development is $5 million. The buildings would be brick and would have no vinyl siding. Elbe said it would have a community room for activities and a full-time property manager and maintenance person.
He said the development will include green space, and benefits to Gray would be an increased tax base and tap-on fees.
The mayor welcomed Elbe to Gray.
"We need affordable housing and appreciate your plan," he said.

The Rotary Club of Charleston Breakfast and Water Missions International announce that the 2013 Rotary Wheels Gala raised more than $108,000 for global and local initiatives.
The event, held on Sept. 12 at Memminger Auditorium, featured fantastic silent auction items, excellent food and drink, and an entertaining live auction led by the masterful Tom Crawford. The event was a smashing success and a great time for all who attended.
The groups are working to boost the proceeds of the event with matching grants available through regional and international Rotary grant programs. The ultimate goal is to provide sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation to a community in South or Central America that will transform the community by eliminating preventable water borne illnesses and allowing men, women and children to focus on education and development.
The Rotary Club of Charleston Breakfast will also reinvest a portion of the proceeds into their endowment fund at the Coastal Community Foundation. Since 2005, the Rotary Club of Charleston Breakfast has given in excess of $130,000 to support approximately 15 Lowcountry charities.
The Rotary Club of Charleston Breakfast and Water Missions International would like to express their most sincere thanks to all who made this event possible. Notably, the evening will have a long lasting impact worldwide as well as in the Lowcountry.

Well said, Kent! As a user of Windows Mobile and S60 devices I have to say that even though there may be other functionality in those devices they are complex and require LOTS of user interaction to get things done. I keep going back to the iPhone, which says a lot for what Apple had done coming from a "power user" like myself.
We can all look forward to a better mobile experience in the future thanks to Apple and the iPhone. It is almost scary thinking what it would have been like without the iPhone, isn't it?
Kent's Weekly Rant: Episode 3
In all the years I have covered mobile technology, I've never seen any single device have such a polarizing effect, or invoke such heated emotional debate in the backwater bars and pubs of the online gadget community, as iPhone has. Make no mistake; there is no middle ground to stand on, no comfort zone. You're either an iPhone lover or a hater. Many, if not most, outspoken critics love iPhone. But to some the very thought of casting an approving eye or complimentary remark on Apple's beloved black slab is akin to publicly condoning Michael Vick's dog fighting hobbies.
Well I say NUTS! to all the haters out there. The time has come to put this argument to rest once and for all. Let me illustrate why you should embrace Apple's ambitious efforts and love , yes LOVE the iPhone.
Let's start with the basics, or rather the greatest point of contention among naysayers. The one argument that rises above all others as the criminal indictment to iPhone's irrelevance; My Smartphone can already do everything iPhone can do! Yes your phone can perform the same tasks, and also sucks bovine testicles in doing so. Feel better now? I do. See kiddies, this isn't about what iPhone does or doesn't do, but rather how it does it.
It's a matter of quality vs. quantity. A beat up 1987 Chevy Cavalier with fuzzy diced mirror and muffler dragging behind on the pavement will get me to the corner grocery every bit as fast a factory fresh Audi TT. The difference is in the quality and the ride. I can sum up the term Smartphone in one word: Compromise. Today's Smartphone platforms are based upon brain dead micro-sized embedded operating systems running primitive software that delivers an altogether crippled user experience. The era of the Smartphone OS is dead. Apple has just ushered in a new era in mobile computing; the age of REAL operating systems running on mobile hardware.
Take the user interface as an example. On a Windows Mobile Professional device I can peck away at the screen using a toothpick-sized stylus like a chicken with a broken beak, digging through a labyrinth of menus – searching in vain for some obfuscated feature. If I'm unfortunate enough to be using the "standard" edition, sans touchscreen, I can regale myself for hours on end by thumbing around a puny screen, launching application through a series of thumb gestures. Turning left, then right, then left, then up, then down again.
On iPhone - I just tap on any icon with my finger, and the application or feature is presented intuitively right in front of me. Hmm…which to choose?
Another example, screen reorientation. Switching to landscape view on iPhone requires virtually no effort, other than rotating the device clockwise. Whoosh! You're in landscape. Performing that same task in Windows Mobile requires tapping the start menu. Going to settings. Now go to Screen settings. Select landscape option. Then tap ok. Rinse and repeat. Now, if I'm really clever I could shorten the process by remapping any available hardware button to the task, but not everyone is aware of that trick and making it happen involves a quick lesson in button configuration. Workable, but ever so sloppy from a design standpoint – the hallmark of Microsoft ingenuity.
Mobile internet is another testimony to Smartphone imperfection. Every mobile web browser renders standard webpages in the same manner by running HTML through a virtual paper shredder. Spitting out a confetti mass of pictures and text, all narrowed down into one indecipherable column. Jumping to any part of a page is truly a unique experience. More like a game really – a guessing game. Where do I scroll to find the text block I am looking for? Is it down here? Do I scroll sideways? And if so, do I scroll left or right? Bullocks!
With Safari you experience the full on internet, minus a few luxuries like Flash...but that's totally coming. looks around nervously
Now I don't mean to single out Microsoft. God knows every Smartphone platform under the sun shares just as much guilt. And truth be told, I find many likeable qualities in Windows Mobile and believe the platform holds the promise of one day becoming something quite compelling. But that day won't come until long after version 6 is a memory and project "Photon" is fired from Redmond's torpedo tubes.
So what do my inane ramblings have to do with spreading this peace and harmony I spoke of? Only this. iPhone is far from perfect, as you anti-fanboys are ever so quick to point out. There's no 3G support, it doesn't do cut and paste, has no third party software support, suffers penis envy in the company of other Smartphones. Well it's all true. But there's also something insidious buried beneath that glossy fingerprint covered veneer: It's a game changer. For the first time, someone has entered this muddled, underdeveloped market and forced every player to take software design seriously and rethink the mobile experience. iPhone's greatest impact on the market will be making everything else before it look bad.
And believe me, every handset and platform vendor in the wireless industry is scrambling to develop a user experience on par with Apple's. Many will fail, but the attempt to improve and innovate will benefit every user, in every camp. Slowly but surely, with each new release, Smartphones will get smarter and easier to use thanks in large part to iPhone.
When the industry's largest mobile phone maker humiliates itself in public display before the world, by unveiling a complete iPhone rip-off, in one brazen sloppy move, you can bet people behind closed doors and conference rooms are scared shitless. And that, boys and girls, is a good thing. We all stand to benefit from iPhone.

Kent's Weekly Rant: Episode 3
Well said, Kent! As a user of Windows Mobile and S60 devices I have to say that even though there may be other functionality in those devices they are complex and require LOTS of user interaction to get things done. I keep going back to the iPhone, which says a lot for what Apple had done coming from a "power user" like myself.
I'm so sick of Apple haters. I don't expect everyone to love Apple, but by now I expect everyone to understand what makes Apple (or Apple products) so great. Its *all* about the user experience. No amount of words or pictures or video can convey that. And since most of the world has used or owns an iPod, I expect people to understand that. Especially the geeks out there who are brazen Apple haters.
But I see right through most of those people. Most are haters because its the "in" thing to do right now. Its much like Microsoft in its hay day. You just weren't cool if you didn't hate Microsoft (actually, thats mostly still true today).
I must say though, I don't see that many haters out there in the "real" world. Most are trolling internet forums and the like. Its very easy to sit all alone behind a computer and spew out false information or ignorant points about the iPhone. But when they are face to face with someone who knows their shite about the iPhone, they clam up like Alberto Gonzoles.
Yet all of this sort of thing has happened before, albeit on a smaller scale. These same ignorant voices bellowed when the iPod first was let loose on the world. They quickly were muffled by truth. But these people had an excuse back then. Very few knew the magic of Apple. But now that the iPod is everywhere and reigns supreme as the best digital music player in the universe, these people have no excuse.
So let them bitch and moan. Let them make fools of themselves yet again. It gives me something to point and laugh at.
Kent, great piece of work. Personally, I tell people this: I have never owned a single bit of Apple product until I bought the iPhone, but absolutely HAD to have the phone.
As for the downsides, I realized long ago that all movie critics go into every film expecting to see the year's Best Picture. All car critics compare each any every Yugo to the Ferrari. All food critics expect McDonald's should tast like Chez Frou Frou. But it the real world, for those of us that are happy driving our Subarus to get our Big Macs, we don't get every Smartphone that comes down the pike. We get one, use it exclusively for a few years, then maybe get another one. And most importantly, we don't benchmark!
The haters need to stop and consider what the iPhone brings to the game EMOTIONALLY -- we want to use it, we want to be seen with it, we want to show it off. I doubt a Treo ever got someone laid. :)
Yes Kent while some things are arguably much better on the iphone like surfing the net, but if your not in a wifi area your shit out of luck or reduced to a slow crawl.
The sms is cool but i cant view any pictures sent to me unless i go to view my messages and log in with some idiotic log and password. You also cant start an email and attach a photo. you have start with the photo to send it out...stupid.....and finally the battery life sucks......
I'm sure there are a few other things we could complain about but that t for now. oh yeah I cant search for anything in my contacts except by last name. For business use it becomes poor unless you categorize everything. and so the list of little things goes on....
Damn. The more I read your blog the more I think you're the only sane person in the world of creepy, over-zealous iPhone fans/haters.
The thing that so many detractors fail to mention is the simple fact that most of the issues seen with the first gen iPhone (sms, lack of mms, email photo attaching, name search in contacts... oh, hi Doug!) can be fixed with a software update or two. Just an observation!
We are just normal phone users that waited a year to get the new iphone. We planned, saved and couldn't wait. We just bought the 4GB 2 weeks ago (both my husband and I) and now it's discontinued. Don't you think they knew that then? What does that mean for us? We are not IT savey like many of you so we would appreciate your input.
I don't think there is a need to be scared. In fact, i just did buy a 4GB recently knowing it is already discontinued. I have always been a Mac user and even when i buy macs whose line have been discontinued, i could still very much use them without a hitch even 5 yrs later. I bought the ibookG3 after the release of ibookG4 ... today it still serves all my needs even when i bought new softwares. In comparison, i almost always have to change new phone every year ... so i always just get the free ones. But the iphone i bought knowing i can still use it maybe in the next 5 years perhaps.
It's been said before. iPhone is simply a beautifully designed device that does a lot of things well and everything with style and panache. Even surfing with Safari on ATT is acceptable, not blindingly fast but OK. The naysayers are just that, looking for things to complain about. Apple leads the way and have my undying support.

Enroll Now!
I enjoyed this class immensely, simply because you made it as easy as possible to understand this whole new world of stock options. I enrolled in this course because I wanted to learn more about investing my stock shares, and found another avenue altogether. Thank you very much, Mark. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Mark has a knack for tackling the complex and often daunting subject matter and breaking it down into its simplest parts. I had taken stabs at learning about options trading in the past, only to quickly retreat, feeling overwhelmed and dumb. Because of Mark, I was able to understand for the first time what was going on. He is a wealth of knowledge and experience, responds promptly and directly to questions, is never condescending, is easily approachable, and is eager for our success. I would definitely sign up for any other investment class he might teach in the future.
Mark has been a great instructor! His real life experiences gave credibility to the whole course. His examples, his warnings, and his lists of reference materials truly helped build my interest and confidence in options trading. I am excited, as he predicted, to be involved in this aspect of investing.
I absolutely love your teaching method, you're not boring, your lessons stay on track without ever becoming monotonous - which is a rare find! Each lesson left me with a notebook full of answers to questions I had from the previous lesson, and many small nuggets of wisdom to tuck away for future application and a notebook full of questions that left me looking forward to the next lesson - I loved it!
Mr. Quinn is very knowledgeable about stock options, yet he has the ability to explain them to novices like me in such a way that I can understand them. This course was exactly what I wanted; it provided an understanding of the options tools as well as clear explanations of the risks and pitfalls with options. Mr. Quinn introduced tools that I intend to use in my further exploration of stock options. A great course!
I absolutely loved this course!!! The instructor's explanations with supporting examples was crucial for me. This can quickly become a complicated subject, but, the instructor's instructional material layout was perfect. I can only hope that Mark chooses to do an advanced options course some day too!
Great course. Tons of information given but in a simple and clear manner. Lots of examples to help illustrate the concepts. Good basic class to help understand the basics and the many different terms and strategies. Definitely recommend.
I really enjoyed this class. The instructor wrote it in such a way to make an intimidating and complicated subject much easier to follow and learn.
This course more than exceeded my expectations. The instructor had a refreshing style of writing that seemed so natural. I enjoyed that he put his own investing experiences into the course. I especially appreciated all the supplementary material he provided. He presented the information in a well organized way, making sure not to throw in advanced concepts into the beginning so we can build on our knowledge. This might be the first class I thoroughly enjoyed and wanted to read all the lessons. Keep up the good work.
Mark Quinn is an outstanding teacher. He is professional, quite knowledgeable, and very helpful. He has a way of transforming even the most abstract material into concrete and enjoyable lessons. As a student, I found his sense of organization most beneficial. Finally, his sense of humor is delightful. I recommend this class to anyone who is interested in successful investing. I would love to take his advanced class.

ALLEN - The Brandon Kinzer Motorsports team opened its 2013 campaign on Saturday at 201 Speedway in Sitka. The weekly Dirt Late Model show drew a strong field of cars and drivers, all of whom were gunning for the $1,500 top prize. Kinzer, who was aboard his new No. 18 MB Customs/Gaerte entry, timed in second-fastest during qualifying and later took the win in his heat race. After starting the 25-lap race from the outside of the front row, Kinzer battled for the lead in the early stages of the race before winding up third in the final rundown behind only winner Josh McGuire and runner-up Rod Conley.
Kinzer and his No. 18 Dirt Late Model team made a number of changes to their racing program during the offseason, not the least of which includes a switch to MB Customs racecars and Gaerte Engines.
Kinzer will be back in Johnson County on Thursday night for Ray Cook's Spring Nationals Series' event at 201 Speedway. The following night will see the Kinzer Motorsports team in action at Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia, as the Southern Regional Racing Series (SRRS) will preside over a $3,000-to-win event Friday.
"The new MB cars have been at our shop for awhile now, but we were just waiting on motors," Kinzer commented, prior to his team's season-opener. "I finally got a Gaerte powerplant in here. We actually tested the other day with a spec motor in the car and I was very pleased with the results. I haven't driven anything in a long, long time - maybe ever - that steered as good as that MB Customs car. That really has me pumped for the season."
Kinzer tested at 201 Speedway last week.

Many a parent has made excuses for a cranky child because the little one missed a precious nap. Or perhaps the parent has dropped everything, barely obeying the speed limit, so the tired tot makes it home in time for some afternoon ZZZs.
There is no doubt about it: Napping is an important part of your toddler's day -- and yours. You count on nap time to get things done, and your child needs to recharge and reboot or everyone will suffer the consequences. But why are naps so critical to youngsters, when will they outgrow them, and how can you make sure naps don't interfere with a good night's sleep?
By following WebMD's no-nonsense, expert-approved napping guide, that's how.
Understand Your Child's Changing Sleep Needs
"Napping conserves energy," explains Charles Shubin, MD, medical director of the Children's Health Center of Mercy Family Care in Baltimore and an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland, also in Baltimore. "When going through a growth spurt, an infant or toddler will sleep more and eat more because the energy demand that growth creates is tremendous," says Shubin, also an assistant professor of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
"To grow, we need adequate calories and ample sleep, and that is why babies sleep more than we do," he tells WebMD. As toddlers get older, they will eat and sleep less, says Shubin.
Some of this sleeping is done as naps, while some of it takes the form of nighttime sleep. Exactly how it is divided depends largely on the child's age and developmental stage, he says.
For example, newborns sleep between feedings all day and all night long, he says. "At around 3 months, they will start developing a day/night variation and their longer sleep will hopefully be at night." This typically doesn't happen much earlier because newborns need to eat every few hours and just can't get the stretch they need at night.
Let Naps Play Out Naturally
"Infants sleep 16 to 20 hours per day, and as time goes on, they outgrow sleeping all day long and only take two naps -- one in the morning and one in the afternoon," says Susan Zafarlotfi, PhD, the clinical director of the Institute for Sleep and Wake Disorders at the Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey.
Naps tend to work themselves out, agrees Greg Yapalater, MD, a New York City pediatrician in private practice. This pattern usually is established when the child is an infant and often revolves around feeding schedules. This helps shape the schedule going forward. "You are probably feeding every three hours, which is four bottles a day, so things start falling into place and then what you are going to do about naps becomes very straightforward," he says. For example, some parents may choose an hour after the first bottle for the morning nap and then an hour after the midday bottle for the afternoon nap.
"If your child goes to day care, shoot for the same schedule that the facility imposes regarding naps," suggests Rafael Pelayo, MD, an associate professor of sleep medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and a sleep specialist at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, both in Palo Alto, Calif.
Know When It's Nap Time
"Tune in to your kids' signs that they are ready to nap," Shubin says. "Some kids sit there and stare. Some get fussy and some kids cry when they are ready to nap."
"They may start blinking their eyes, yawning, getting cranky, rubbing their eyes, or start zoning out when they need a nap," Yapalater says, warning that "this can happen quite quickly."
Create an Ideal Napping Environment
"Try to put your child in the same environment for each nap," Yapalater suggests. "Don't let your child nap in the crib one day, a day bed the next, and in your bed the day after that," he says. Why? "You really want the napping environment to be as consistent as possible so your child will associate it with going to sleep," he tells WebMD.
"You can't force anyone to take a nap, but you can create the environment for sleep," Yapalater says. "Tell your child 'you can sleep, be awake, or sing, but you have to stay put,'" he says. "Don't make an appearance as you would at night because there are more distractions during the day, so it doesn't take much for them to say 'there is too much going on here for me to nap.'"
Don't Let Your Toddler Nap in the Stroller
This may be convenient, especially if your sleepy tot doesn't transfer well, but it can be dangerous, Yapalater warns. "Do not let your children nap in strollers, bouncy seats, or car seats that are parked on the floor because these places are not made for sleeping unless they are constantly monitored." Accidental strangulation, suffocation, and/or entanglement can occur due to all the buckles and straps.
Let the Morning Nap Drop Out Naturally
In most children, the morning nap drops out by 12 to 18 months because they need less sleep. "Let this happen on its own," Shubin says. "Your child will stick to an afternoon nap until they are anywhere from 2 1/2 to 4 years old. Some 3- or 4-year-olds still take an afternoon nap, but 6-year-olds don't nap."
Don't Pay Attention Too Soon to Signs That Your Child Is Outgrowing a Nap
"There is not a hard-and-fast rule about outgrowing naps," says Mary Michaeleen Cradock, PhD, a clinical psychologist with St. Louis Children's Hospital in Missouri. "You may start to see signs that the child wakes up earlier from a nap, or they may not show any signs that they need one."
Nap refusal in an 18-month-old is not a sign that he or she is outgrowing their nap (however, it may be in a three-year-old). "If a child doesn't want to take a nap, this can be mistaken for having outgrown their nap, but he or she may just be overtired," Craddock says.
"If it's a day or two of protesting, don't subtract the nap too fast, but if nap protesting goes on for a couple of weeks, then it may be time to give it up," Yapalater says.
Don't Sweat Nap Time
Some parents are really uptight about their toddlers napping schedule. "They get carried away and the whole day is centered around the napping schedule," says Stanford's Pelayo, author of the forthcoming Sleeping Makes Me Tired. "If getting your toddler down for a nap is interfering with your life, it's a problem. You have to be flexible. You can always slip in a shorter nap or a later nap."
Shubin agrees: "Nap schedules are more about parents. There aren't rigid guidelines about when and how long a child should nap. Most tables are pure approximations."
Keep Naps Short and Sweet
"If nap is more than one hour and 45 minutes, your kids may wake up cranky," says Pelayo. "Ninety minutes is just right."
Don't Trade in a Nap for an Earlier Bedtime
This may sound like a good plan, but it doesn't work and may even backfire, says Cradock. "If you keep them up to make them more tired, they will be too restless and unsettled to use the normal self-soothing routines that put them to sleep at night," she says. A better plan is to tweak the nap or nap schedule by shaving off 15 minutes or starting the nap earlier in the day. Later naps are not always the best call because your child needs to get a certain amount of daylight, and napping until its dark may prevent this from occurring, Cradock says.
Use the Same Routine for Napping as Nighttime Sleep
"If you have a good nighttime sleep routine such as doing something calming or reading a book to your child before bed, you can repeat this ritual for nap time to increase the likelihood of a successful napper," Cradock says. "If at night, you hold and rock your child until they fall asleep and at nap time, you put them in their room and suggest a nap, it's probably not going to happen."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Land of Israel is a special, sacred place for those who believe in the Bible. Like the ingathering of the Jewish people into the land of Israel, the restoration of the land itself is the unfolding of prophecy.
When Israel's restoration began, the land was largely barren. Today it is fully of lush green forests lovingly planted by the Jewish National Fund. There is still much work to do. What better way to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel than by planting a tree.
Partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land.
Trees are the silent heroes of nature. They provide food, medicines, oxygen, shade, a home for birds and animals, and more. But trees were created not just for their many practical uses; they also provide fascinating spiritual lessons. There are countless scriptures about trees and their relationship to the Jewish people. Listed below are a few trees mentioned in the Bible.

Amuro wrote:Don't really blame the people for walking out it's there right to walk out but he also left out how people did not want slaves to know about god. They did not want slaves to know about Moses because they might try and lead their people out of slavery to the promised land. Savage did kind of bully the people who walked out that's like someone going up to Savage who is white and blaming him for slavery. So your talking about bullying and you bully people who you have no idea if they bullied someone or not. Now also talked about how people are dying I hope he's not talking about suicide because they killed them selves in most cases someone can't bully someone else to death. In most cases those people had some other issues going on that also contributed to there depression and there early exit from life. I was bullied as kid and I was a small kid and I am a small adult. I beat the crap out of my bullies if they bigger were than me I'd pick up something and start swinging. I'm mostly just saying that you can't fight bullying with bullying and that's exactly what Savage did. He's the adult in this situation and he's bullying kids.

I plan to write three different columns each week for all of 2013.
There are guidelines I use every time I sit down to write. I carry two blank cards and a pen in my pocket so I may jot down any new idea that comes to my attention.
There are always in my office dictionaries and lexicons of various kinds, numerous books on how to write correctly and in a manner that will engage the reader's attention. I attempt to use proper grammar, effective sentence structure and spell each word correctly.
The one classic book to which I often refer is small, 4x7, 92 pages, The Elements of Style, by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White. A must for very writer.
When I have written a column and sent it to the newspaper office, I know an editor, reviser, rewriter or copy editor will review it. These people are collectively what Elbert Hubbard defines as "A bit of sandpaper applied to all forms of originality." I appreciate any extra polish given to my work.
There was a day when newspapers and magazines had "proof readers" who looked for the smallest mistake. That liberally used "blue pencil" meant you could count on newspaper accuracy.
It takes many well-trained people to put together a newspaper, magazine or book. We sometimes become annoyed by too much advertising in the newspaper. That is what makes it all possible. The price paid for subscriptions or copies does not even pay the cost for the ink or paper.
Some of my best friends work in newspaper offices. They are people I have known in many parts of the country. They have worked for small weekly newspapers, the large weeklies, and the small and the largest of the daily newspapers. They have had different assignments. Some are editors; others work in circulation and distribution, advertising, some write news, sports, obituaries, weather and others are cartoonists. Every newspaper has all these talented people and together they produce your favorite newspaper with the features you like best.
Please, do not ever imagine that newspapers are perfect. Just because you read it in the paper, does not make it true. If it is not true, it should never appear in the newspaper. Newspapers, radio, television, magazines, books all must be known for their accuracy. If they cannot be trusted, why must they exist?
On one occasion, I wrote a story that I thought was accurate and said exactly what I wanted it to say. When it appeared in the newspaper, it was a mess, totally unlike what I had written. I agreed with all those who did not like what I wrote. I did not like what had my name on it. It was taken out of context and scrambled like an egg.
Another splendid newspaper used my picture with my column, but at the end used five column lines telling readers how to reach a staff photographer.
It amazes me that so many people can be involved and still produce a readable and accurate newspaper every day. I give the newspaper and magazines I write for an A-plus every day. You are now reading one of the finest newspapers in your state and nation. Read every issue.
Examine James 4:1-17, for effective instruction about how to live the entire year of 2013 and underscore verse 15 that states, "Instead you ought to say, 'if the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that'."
At least once each year, write a note or make a phone call to your newspaper and say a sincere, "thank you." I'll do my best to write one of your favorite columns each week.

War Machine Injured and Out 4 to 6 Months; Fight with Paul Daley Delayed
War Machine Injured and Out 4 to 6 Months; Fight with Paul Daley Delayed | MMAWeekly.comThe planned first fight for Bellators debut on Spike TV wont go down as scheduled after fans voted to see British slugger Paul Daley face former UFC fighter War Machine.
According to Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney, the Daley vs. War Machine match-up overwhelmingly won the vote by the fans promo the organization had put together to determine the first fight that would air on Spike TV when they debut in 2013.
Unfortunately, War Machine suffered a pretty serious training injury that left him with a fractured fibia and a torn ACL in his knee that will keep him out for at least 4 to 6 months.
War Machine later updated his status on Twitter saying that the tear in his ACL is only a partial tear and will not require surgery.
*Surprise, surprise... the guy who just got out of jail and jumped into a full on training camp gets hurt. Gee, who'd of thunk it.

The Swans will host the Romanian side in the first leg, having already seen off Malmo FF with a 4-0 aggregate win in the previous round of qualifying.
Former West Bromwich Albion midfielder Filipe Teixeira is amongst Petrolul's ranks, but Laudrup says that his men have had plenty of homework to do in preparation for the tie.
"I had not heard of any of their players before the draw," he said.
"That's why on Wednesday we sat down with the team and showed them videos. When you play a game in the Premier League we all know each other. But with this team I don't think any of my players will have heard of them.
"Maybe they will know much more about us than the other way around. That's why it is important to know as much as you can.
"For example, if I'm the wide player on the right then who am I playing against? Is the full-back left-footed or right? Is he fast or is he slow?
"If I am a defender I would want to know if the opposition striker is short or tall. It's important the players watch the videos because my players need to see what kind of players they are up against.
"It's not like when we play Spurs on Sunday and you say to the players, you are playing against Aaron Lennon or Moussa Dembele. We all know who they are. But no-one knows Gheorge Grozav, Younis or the other guys.
"It's not being disrespectful, but the less you know an opponent, the more work you have to do."
Laudrup's side are strong favourites to progress, but he confessed to being wary coming up against unknown opposition following Celtic's shock defeat to Shakhtyor Karaganda in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
"I saw Celtic's result but didn't see the game," said Laudrup.
"But there are a lot of teams that maybe, if you look at the name, you haven't heard of them, but you have to be careful as then suddenly you could become the victim of a team that was not so well known.
"From Romania, look at FC Cluj. Who knew them five years ago? Now they have been in the group stage of the Champions League and were quite close to moving on to the knock-out stages.
"You have to be careful. Seven or eight years ago no-one knew of teams like Shakhtar Donetsk and then suddenly they are a huge team. That's the way it is with teams from Eastern Europe."

Local filmmaker's work noticed by LA producer (UPDATED)Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Local filmmaker Steven Boatman has been defying the odds all his life.
The 23-year-old Toledoan lost his hearing from bacterial meningitis at age 1 and was deaf for four years before receiving a cochlear implant at age 5.
"I'm an unusual filmmaker in that I am completely deaf, but I use a cochlear implant to artificially hear. It's like a bionic ear, which makes me a pretty cool cyborg," Boatman said.
Two years ago, against the advice of family members, Boatman dropped out of Bowling Green State University after three years to pursue filmmaking full time.
The gamble is starting to pay off.
Boatman's five-minute narrative film "Mowing Through Misery," a dark comedy about the frustrations of a man trying to mow his lawn, was screened at the Northwest Ohio Independent Film Festival in Lima in July where it caught the attention of actor and producer Russ Russo, who asked Boatman to be director of photography for his upcoming independent feature-length film "Heat Wave."
Russo will direct as well as act. Other actors will include Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier, who portray werewolves Embry and Jared in "The Twilight Saga"; Natasha Alam of "True Blood" and "Entourage"; Amanda Clayton from "John Carter"; Jessica Andres of "Liberator" and "Gossip Girl"; and more.
Russo, who lives in Los Angeles but often travels to film festivals across the country, said he was impressed by Boatman's creativity and ingenuity.
"It's as if one sense gave way to another sense, which was his eye. The camera was always moving, always presenting something and coming into the next scene. What he was doing was something on a studio level. It's presented in a way that feels very much like a big Hollywood feel film," Russo said. "I saw Steven's film right at the end of the festival and I thought, 'Wow I'm actually in the midst of writing something and that kind of filmmaking is what I picture.' I was just really impressed with the creativity and ingenuity. To go into a garage and build camera equipment? Usually it takes a studio and thousands and thousands of dollars to decide, 'I'm going to build a crane today.'"
Russo said he happened to talk to Boatman at the festival before viewing his film.
"I saw this kid just kind of standing to the side. I walked up to him and found out he had a film in the festival," Russo said. "I wasn't sure what to expect, but I like to root for the underdog. 'Rocky' is one of my favorite movies. I was really rooting for the kid. But the festival had about two hours of technical problems before his film. I didn't even know if it was going to get shown. Probably 20 to 30 people walked out and didn't even get to see the best film at the festival in my opinion. I was totally impressed. I had no idea that by coming to Ohio that discovery was going to be made."
"Heat Wave" is a dark comedy that addresses modern day society, Generation Y friendship, moral decay, narcissism, self-discovery and more as two friends take a cross-country road trip from Los Angeles to New Jersey.
Filming will start in November in Los Angeles if $20,000 is raised through the online fundraiser Kickstarter by Aug. 31. So far more than $19,000 has been pledged. To donate or learn more, visit www.HeatWaveFilm.com.
Boatman writes, directs, films, edits and acts in his films. He also built most of his own equipment, including a dolly platform with metal pipe tracks, an 8-foot aluminum crane and a computer for video-editing. He also designed his own website. Boatman's father, Glen Boatman, helps with filming when Steven is acting.
"'Mowing Through Misery' was originally written as a narrative example of what one can do with my crane," Boatman said. "Then I saw it could stand alone as its own independent film and showcase not only my filmmaking skills in the technical sense but demonstrate my skills as a filmmaker and storytelling ability all in about five minutes."
Boatman was homeschooled until enrolling at BGSU to study visual communication technology. His first taste of filmmaking was a "Star Wars" parody he made with his sister growing up, but it was at BGSU that Boatman realized he wanted to make narrative filmmaking his career.
"Filmmaking is one aspect of my life that I derive the most joy from," Boatman said. "The summer of 2010 was when I knew that I would regret not following my passion, so I quit college. I knew I was more than capable of being an excellent narrative filmmaker. However, the problem was convincing people of how talented I am. I couldn't just convince them with words; instead I had to show them."
"Mowing Through Misery" was screened at the International Indie Gathering Film Festival in Hudson, Ohio, in August, where it was awarded third place in the drama category for microfilms (no longer than five minutes).
The film is also part of OneCloudFest, the first film festival held via Facebook. Users can view films through Aug. 31 and "like" their favorites with the top three films in each category moving on to the finals. To view films and vote, visit apps.facebook.com/onecloudfest.
Glen Boatman said he is proud of his son's opportunity to work on a feature-length film.
"He's doing very well. Fortunately he has me to bankroll him, but this is going to be big payback," Glen said, laughing. "He's getting started now."

Apple airs iPad mini ad 'Piano'
To coincided with the launch of the iPad mini, Apple has started airing a new television ad called "Piano" that focuses on this new device. The ad actually begins with an iPad 4 running GarageBand and a hand comes in to play the intro to the popular piano duet Heart and Soul. When it's time for the second pianist would join the song, an iPad mini slides in and a hand begins to play the melody of the song. As the song is played, the camera slowly pans and zooms into the iPad mini so that it's the only featured device. There is no voiceover for this ad, just music being played by iPads.
What do you think of the new ad?

Apple airs iPad mini ad 'Piano'
Beautiful ad
simply effective. design. advertising. marketing.
Very nice. I much prefer Apple ads to the over-the-top Android ads that show nothing of the product's capability beyond space suited users and gamer blowing holes in concrete walls.
Awesome! Simple, subtle, and effective. Can't wait for the LTE minis to come out in a few weeks!!
That's not Samsung's fault, that's the fault of whoever owns the site.
It's simple, but it doesn't do anything to show why the smaller size is better than the bigger size.
I Love this Ad, it reminds me of the film "BIG" (1988)
