It is about 1920s India under the British colonial rule, there two kinds of people came from UK, one is for business another one for saving the souls as missionary.Inthose days, there are the missionaries came to Godavari Delta after the construction of bridge over Godavari at Dowleswaram, it makes the people to get civilization and hand to mouth, That time one of the Missionary Brown came to Ambajipet stayed over there in the mission centre, Every day he and his wife visiting the weekly market in konaseema that time my great grandfather Navuduri Pullayya, who is a village doctor visiting weekly markets in the surrounding village,,thoug he originally come from Cobbler community which is a heinous job in the India Hindu society. Because this community people make shoes for all communities, they do cremation services for high caste Hindu people and bring the cloths of dead people. This way the cobbler Dalit people lives under the mercy of high caste Hindu people in all manners
One day Mr. Brown and his wife visited the weekly market that time my great grandfather selling his medical products and taking care of patients, nearby by place Mr Brown preaching the gospel to all by standing on a wooden chair in order to focus them toward him and his voice. My great grandfather hearing the gospel he believed, his hard heart changed and invited Mr. Brown to his house, he is the head of the community in those days so the whole community people came and hear the gospel, that is the First gospel service and Sunday service around the radius of 25kms in this area, praise the Lord
As Brown is coming often and other Indian gospel ministers are visiting pullayya family
One day there are about 10 people Baptized along with Pullayya, that day Mr. Brown gave Glaxco Dhoti to new clothes to the Baptized ones., As they wore the new clothes, the high caste Hindu community people get furious about these untouchable people because they used to work for them day and night as slaves and scavenger work, now these new born Christians practicing health and hygiene, taking bath regularly, wearing full new clothes first time in their life, previously they were all half naked means cover their secret part only
Now they were saved physically and spiritually, by observing their new life the Hindu community leaders not able to digest the truth and new life style so that Hindu elders attacked on these new Christians when they are going to meet in a house where they would get together as church( called out or redeemed ones), on the way these Hindu leaders strip off the clothes of my grandfather, they make naked him totally, that time a women threw a piece of cloth over him so he hide himself with hat cloth, that Sunday they all get together and just prayed no preaching, the very next week Mr. Brown came and hear the total grievances of the believers, so that Brown took courage and again lead all the believers in the high caste Hindu people street and lead them to a canal for Baptism of one believer, so none of the Hindu came forward to attack because the land being ruled by Britishers.
That time some of our community people and my great grandfather declared that we are not untouchables_ Madiga-cobblers) we are touched by Almighty God- born again christens, since then we lose all kinds of privileges which were reserved for untouchables, so that we become a equal to high caste people, we are socially and economically minority people but more power ful by the leading and guidance of the holy spirit from time to time. We are not dominated like Hindus but we are precious , chosen generation and priestly hood for the glory of God
As the church is going on increasing the membership of the believers that the brown asked the believers to come forward to take hold of the priestly hood as minister of God, none of them come forward, that time my father is a new born child about months so they dedicated him for the service of the Lord by holding him with their hands, after many year finis of my father education, so he was miraculously called by Lord in a one gospel meeting, then he did not turn back and go further in the ministry by preparing for the greater call in the ZION BIBLE COLLEGE Vijayawada, after finishing his studies and graduation, he was lead by the Lord to work for the toughest place where is the strong hold of communist GANNAVARAM, started ministry, there we are 6 of his children born, my mother from Krishna district, so she supports him faithfully in the ministry in all up and downs.
I and my brother Raju were twins and first born, so that my mother is physically weak unable to feed to of us, so that my grandmother took my brother Raju to Katrenikona where my father's brothers stays and works, so here was under their care, as the days passes my parents decided that we should not separated the twins let them live one place, so they brought me to katrenikona, I and my brother we bother get education at Z.P.H.SCHOOL till 10th, then we moved to Vijayawada where my father is pasturing, we live with parents and sister, the devil attacks suddenly on my family unity as the form of death on my brother Raju, that year a year of experience of bitterness 1979
Since then we are fine and doing well, in 1996 November the cyclone and floods devastated the total area of East Godavari district of konaseema, that time my first boy John Thomas born, the same month I travelled to katrenikona with some amount of money to help the first generation Christian in my place, I have distributed some basic food stuff rice dual salt oil and etc
After few months I have helped the people to rebuild the houses new clothes, fish nets, income generating projects. All the projects were successful and faithfully done. 4 churches were established
Praise the Lord, I left that place I visit after yearly once occasionally
Very recently I supposed to teach my children who we are where we are how we live in this area and who is our siblings, earlier my children studying in a Hindu schools , it impacts a lot in their spiritual and physical life so that I searched for a Christian school, later I found ParamJyothy Public School in Amalapuram, I have made joined them in 2012. They were good physically spiritually and educationally glory to God
As a result of my children studies I have been visiting Amalapuram monthly twice, so I have visited some of my friends, pastors churches and own community people and relatives, some of them were really under the rule of Satan and clutches of poverty, it is my desire where there is need I have to rush there and do faith in action , lot of children wondering on the streets, catching the fishes in small brooks and canals and tributes even on the bay, so it is my strong desire that the children are the tomorrow leaders of the nation and the church , It is my prime aim to educate them with excellence, bring them unity for growth and touch the lives with charity, so that the Lord guided me after much prayer and consultation of my friends and Elders lead me to start the charity in the name of UNITED CHRISTIAN FAITH GROUP OF MINISTRIES, it is a non denominational and non racial charity for all human beings do to good love thy neighbor as thy self, in this great work please join your hand , open your heart and walk your feet towards needy.

The Beatles Greatest Hits
The Beatles Greatest Hits
The Beatles greatest hits are a review of their songs and how they charted in the United States from 1964 through 1970. Many teenagers remember the invasion of the Beatles which was known as "The British Invasion" in 1964. Their first hit single released in the United States was "I Want To Hold Your Hand", which went on to be the top single of the year and was number 1 for seven consecutive weeks on Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
They were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The group's best lineup was John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The band built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over a three-year period from 1960. They gained some popularity in the UK with their single called "Love Me Do" in late 1962. They gained their nickname called the "Fab Four". The Beatles have had more number-one albums on the British charts and sold more singles than any other act. Lennon and McCartney wrote most of the Beatles songs.
During their seven year reign on the U.S. national charts, they had 20 number 1 songs. They came to America in January, 1964. On January 18th, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" debuted at number 45 on the chart. Two weeks later, it was number 1.
The Beatles first charted single in the United States Hot 100 chart was "From Me To You" in 1963 and reached the Bubbling Under chart at #116. It was re-released in 1964, and hit #41 in March.
The Beatles also hold a record that no other act or solo artist from 1958-2011 has ever done. That is holding the first five places on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. This feat the Beatles accomplished on April 4, 1964. Here is how the chart looked for that date:
1. Can't Buy Me Love
2. Twist And Shout
3. She Loves You
4. I Want To Hold Your Hand
5. Please Please Me
The Beatles as a group had a total of 20 singles that made it to the top spot on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart, which is the most for any artist in the rock era. Elvis Presley had eighteen. Another record they held was the #1 position for 14 consecutive weeks with three different charted singles in a row ("I Want To Hold Your Hand" (7), "She Loves You" (2), and "Can't Buy Me Love" (5)). This was broken by Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men with their song "One Sweet Day" when it was #1 for 16 weeks in 1995 and her record was broken by Goo Goo Dolls with their song "Iris" which held the #1 spot for 18 weeks in 1998 and this is still the record holder today.
Also, in 1964, the Beatles had six singles that charted at #1, the most of any artist for a given year.
For the record, the Beatles had a total of 73 singles that made Billboard's Top 100 chart in their career from 1964 to 1970. The single of longevity was "Hey Jude" with 19 weeks on the chart. Also, "Hey Jude" was their all-time best single being at the top of the Hot 100 chart for nine weeks. This is also one of the longest singles in time, with 7 minutes and 11 seconds. The longest single in time is "American Pie" parts 1 & 2 totaling 8 minutes and 36 seconds.
After the recording of "The Long And Winding Road" in 1970, which topped the chart for two weeks, the group split up. This was also their last #1 song on the Hot 100 chart. Their last top ten song was "Free As A Bird" #6 in 1995. Their last song on the Hot 100 chart was "Real Love" #11 in 1996.
Billboard has ranked the Beatles as the #1 artist from 1960-1969, and #2 artist of all-time from 1955-2010. They were voted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, in 1988.
All told, the Beatles had 20 #1's, 33 top ten, 41 top 20, and 50 top 40 hits on the Hot 100 chart. They also have 30 top ten albums.

Though still in the midst of promoting its recent single Day by Day, T-ara is already gearing up for the release of its next single next month.
According to T-ara's Core Contents Media, T-ara will release its new single Sexy Love, off of its repackaged album Mirage, on August 15.
Sexy Love is described as an exciting electronic club dance track and was produced by Shinsadong Tiger, making it the fourth collaboration between the famed music producers and T-ara.
T-ara previously worked with Shinsadong Tiger for the smash-hits Bo Peep Bo Peep, Roly-Poly and most recently Lovey-Dovey.
T-ara will also look to make another sensation with the dance for Sexy Love.
After previously popularizing the 'cat dance' for Bo Peep Bo Peep, the hustling retro dance for Roly-Poly and the shuffle dance for Lovey-Dovey, T-ara will now be doing the ′pantomime robot′ dance for Sexy Love.

You apparently are NOT informed. Robert Bentley did in fact lie. According to both my memory, and the excellent article written by the Mobile Press Register last Sunday, which exposed Bentley, he repeatedly told people that he was an "innocent bystander" to the efforts of the AEA to discredit Bradley Byrne, and that he "had nothing to do with it." That's not just disingenuous. That's called a lie. He was BUSTED, fair and square. Please don't insult those of us who actually DO know what we're talking about.
What I want to know is, why hasn't the Alabama Republican party disqualified Robert Bentley for partnering with Paul Hubbard? Do they not realize that Robert Bentley ONLY reported receiving help from the AEA last Thursday - probably AFTER he discovered the Mobile Press Register article would appear in Sunday's Paper? Are they afraid of losing the race more than losing their integrity? I feel that if given the right publicity - which would inevitably ensue, they could lay down the facts and properly explain why Robert Bentley's candidacy has been withdrawn. Republican leader Mike Hubbard has both the right and the responsibility to do this on behalf of the Republican party.

Penguin by Design a Cover Story 1935 to 2005
written by Phil Baines
Penguin Books Ltd | ISBN 9780713998399
Paperback – 256 pages
Member's price: $40.50
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Ever since the creation of the first Penguin paperbacks in 1935, their jackets have become a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture and design history. Rich with stunning illustrations and filled with detail of individual titles, designers and even the changing size and shape of the Penguin logo itself, this book shows how covers become design classics.
By looking back at seventy years of Penguin paperbacks, Phil Baines charts the development of British publishing, book cover design and the role of artists and designers in creating and defining the Penguin look. Coupling in-depth analysis of designers – from Jan Tschichold to Romek Marber – with a wide-ranging look at the range of series and titles published – from early Penguins and Pelicans, to wartime Specials, fiction and reference, this is a distinctive picture of how Penguin has consistently established its identity through its covers, influenced by – and influencing – the wider development of graphic design and the changing fashions in typography, photography, illustration or printing techniques.

HLN (formerly "CNN Headline News") is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by Cable News Network, Inc., a unit of the Turner Broadcasting System division of Time Warner. The channel is a spin-off of the U.S. cable news channel CNN.
The channel was originally structured to feature a tightly-formatted, 30-minute newscast that was rebroadcast each half-hour, 24 hours a day, with freshly-updated information that briefly covered various areas of interest (such as national news, sports, entertainment, weather and business). Since 2005, however, its format has increasingly shifted to long-form tabloid-, opinion-, crime-, and entertainment news-related programming.
As of August 2013, HLN is available to approximately 99,010,000 American households (85.82% of households with at least one television set) in the United States. Since the mid-2000s, HLN has been available internationally on cable and satellite in parts of Asia, the Caribbean and South America.

We have no idea who the creator of the sign is, and we don't have any idea if he actually was given a moose -- however I'm sure Ghostcrawler will want to hand deliver him one after reaching international fame and stardom from this brief moment on the Colbert Report.
A larger image, full of more truthiness, can be viewed here. You can also view the entire Colbert Report episode over at Hulu. The moose sign comes in around 20:43.
Many thanks to Sean for the tip!

US Olympic Committee YMCA of the USA Who Attends the Nonprofit Executive Summit? Nonprofit executives seeking strategy-level insights from thought leaders in the areas of risk management, finance and human resources Conference Tracks Advanced Finance The finance track at the Nonprofit Executive Summit is designed for experienced CFOs, CEOs, COOs, Finance Committee Chairs, Board Chairs and other senior leaders with finance oversight or management responsibilities. The four-session program offers practical insights and tools for strengthening the financial management and fiscal oversight functions in a nonprofit. Enterprise Risk Management If you've mastered the fundamentals of operational risk management, but see gaps in risk awareness at the strategy-setting level of your nonprofit, you won't want to miss the ERM track at the Nonprofit Executive Summit. Suited for senior leaders as well as Board and Committee Chairs, the ERM track will help you evolve the risk management capabilties in your nonprofit and gain confidence that you understand and are managing enterprise-level and enterprise wide risks. Strategic HR The workshops in this track are designed for experienced nonprofit leaders. Topics that will be featured in the track include Values-Based Management, a unique model for supervising and supporting employees in the nonprofit sector, Best Practices in Hiring/Firing/Training: How Staff Reductions May Cost You More Than You Thought, and the Top HR Risks Facing Nonprofits. Workshop Descriptions Advanced Accounting and Finance for Nonprofit CFOs This session will explore a range of issues on the minds of experienced nonprofit CFOs, from programmatic investments, to accounting for affiliates and recent developments at FASB that may impact financial statement presentations in the years to come. Enterprise Risk Management: The Executive's Role This workshop is designed to help you lead your nonprofit into the deep space of enterprise risk management. Find out what exactly ERM means in the vast galaxy of nonprofits and how an ERM capacity will fortify your mission. We promise that you'll leave this session wanting to learn more and ready to engage others to embark on an adventure in advanced risk management. You'll also learn about your role in shaping the "tone at the top," and how to inspire key personnel as well volunteer leaders to enthusiastically join you in the journey. Great Governance, Financial Health and Your Mission: Perfect Harmony or Perfect Storm? Nonprofit leaders face extraordinary scrutiny when it comes to where money for mission comes from and how it's spent. This scrutiny necessitates thoughtful financial management and fiscal oversight. Your board members may be donors of substantial time and money and passionate about your mission, but are they equally engaged when it comes to fiscal oversight? Most nonprofit board members acknowledge their fiduciary role, but wrongly believe that fiscal oversight is the job of the finance and audit committee, leaving members "here for the mission" off the hook. The truth couldn't be any further from this assumption. What role do staff play in ensuring good fiscal health to advance the organization's mission? This session explores the top finance risks facing nonprofit leaders in 2014 and practical examples to explain how and why great governance and informed fiscal oversight are a must if your mission truly matters. Hiring, Supervision and Discipline: A Legal Perspective During this dynamic workshop employment attorney Theodora Lee will share her unique perspective on the array of legal risks that arise in the employment relationship. Attendees will receive practical advice on how best to avoid illegal discrimination, from hiring to termination. Learn about the most common mistakes made by managers and executives, and how to coach your team to skillfully manage employment risks. Hiring/Firing/Training...How Staff Reductions May Cost More Than You Think This session will look inside the employment cycle and focus on areas where an employer can possibly reduce their personnel costs. A review of how the cost of unemployment can be reduced by having an understanding of the ins and outs of how the unemployment process is administered. Make Finance a Language Everyone Understands Leaders in many nonprofits take internal communication for granted. However, "I sent an email with an explanation!" won't save the day when critical information is misunderstood or ignored. Miscommunication between teams in a nonprofit, especially when finance is involved, can erode trust and worse, corrode an otherwise collaborative environment. Attend this workshop to learn why program staff often point the finger of blame for poor communication at the finance team, and find out how to get everyone with budgetary or financial leadership responsibility on the same spreadsheet. Managing and Surviving Organizational Change This workshop is ideal for leaders of organizations facing conflict resulting from any type of internal change. The session focuses on understanding how real change happens for people and for organizations. Takeaways include practical strategies to maximize the likelihood of a successful change process, and how to assess your own personal/organizational style of responding to change. Managing Governance Risk A nonprofit can't thrive or even survive without a dedicated board. While board members bring varying perspectives to the table, their deliberations add another dimension of risk. This workshop explores governance responsibility, challenges that are common but difficult to address, and practical steps to fortify a nonprofit board to govern well. You'll learn how to hold board members accountable, ensure that fiscal oversight is understood and embraced, and pragmatic tips for anticipating and managing conflict and dysfunctional behavior. Presented by an experienced nonprofit CEO/nonprofit board member, this program gets to the heart of governance risk and present strategies to ensure a "win" for the mission and strategic goals of your nonprofit. Mission Accomplished: Designing or Updating the Risk Management Function in a Nonprofit A question on the minds of many nonprofit executives today is, "Who should be responsible for enterprise risk management?" While a growing number of large nonprofits employ a professional risk manager, many others ask a CFO, compliance director, HR manager or general counsel to play the role of risk champion. In the Center's experience, nonprofit organizations are like picky eaters; every nonprofit needs the ability to pick and choose the ingredients for a satisfying repast. We advise leaving pre-packaged "ready to eat" risk management programs at home. Learn the design principles that will enable you to craft an exceptional risk management function that satiates your nonprofit's appetite for risk taking and mission success. Risk Oversight: Equipping and Engaging Your Board Trying to get your board focused on strategic issues? Risk oversight is an ideal way to focus board discussion and action on the direction the nonprofit is headed. This workshop explores the responsibility of a nonprofit board for risk oversight. Learn what the term "risk oversight" means and how it intersects with the board's legal and fiduciary responsibilities. Join two respected risk management thought leaders for a close-up look at risk oversight in the complex world of nonprofit organizations. Learn how to integrate risk oversight into the work of your board. Values Based Management Supervision is the "second most important job we're ever given to do and not told how." It involves assuming responsibility for the lives of others and for the success of the organization. Values Based Management is a concrete approach to professionalizing supervision in the nonprofit sector. It provides a framework which any agency can adopt to ensure that workers will feel supported as well as a set of survival skills to prepare supervisors to function as professionals. Participants will come away with a clear definition of supervision, a model for providing what workers need, a simple way to implement a "system of supervision", and an answer to the basic question of why workers do not perform successfully. Values Based Management has been presented to thousands of nonprofit managers in hundreds of organizations across the country and continues to receive outstanding support because of its unique tailoring to the needs of nonprofit workers and organizations.

Country Songs About Country Music
by Jim Allen | June 2, 2014
People talk about rockers and rappers being self-obsessed, but when it comes to getting meta, country music probably contains more songs about itself than any other style does. From Johnny Cash's 1950s ode to his guitarist, "Luther Played the Boogie," to Brad Paisley's "This Is Country Music," country singers have never been shy about shining the spotlight on their sound. Of course, the perspective isn't always a positive one -- plenty of artists have used their music to express their dismay with the ever-changing face of Nashville (see The Bellamy Brothers' "The Night They Killed Country Music"), and others have simply documented the difficulties of a country career (Tom T. Hall's "The Year That Clayton Delaney Died"). But whether their voices are raised in celebration or sorrow, the singers you'll encounter here each document a different thread in the constantly expanding story of what country music means.

A civil servant, as mayor Bob, is one to be praised. He puts aside His own income and goes to do business, not where the hotheads sit, but where the people meet and gather.
That is a sign of a man that is not willing to change his grassroots to become a white collared dweeb.
These four are that epitamy of breakroom gossipers that have nothing else to do in the great halls of Debary. I say, throw them out, keep Mayor Bob.

Intercultural studies (ICS) will give you a broad understanding of the cultures, beliefs, value systems and worldviews of people throughout the world—equipping you to effectively communicate with and relate to others while living and working in an increasingly diversified world.
Kuyper's ICS program will provide you with professional knowledge and skills within the framework of a biblical world and life view. Through the study of anthropology, world religions, intercultural communications, and other related courses together with field experiences, you will become an effective ambassador of hope, truth and reconciliation in a variety of settings around the world. At Kuyper, you will not only receive a degree in intercultural studies, you will also earn a Bible and theology major. Your intercultural studies degree will also serve as a strong foundation for further graduate work in fields such as business, Islamics, missiology, TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), applied linguistics, social work, intercultural communications, and law.
Intercultural studies graduates from Kuyper College are serving as educators, administrators, missionaries, human resource specialists, diversity trainers, immigration counselors, pastors and youth pastors in settings such as: • Higher Education • Community Organizations • Churches • Health Care • Mission Organizations • Para-Church Organizations • U.S. & International Schools • Human Service Agencies • International Agencies • Communications
Kuyper's intercultural studies curriculum is made up of twelve dynamic and challenging courses that will educate, equip and train you with real life experiences for a successful career. Below is a sample of what some of these courses cover. • In Intercultural Communication You will develop skills in communication behavior necessary for building and maintaining relationships and communication across cultures. You will examine the influence of perceptions, verbal and nonverbal styles, thinking modes, symbols, and values on communication between individuals of different cultures and backgrounds. • In Ministering Interculturally you will find an emphasis on incarnational ministry, this course will prepare you to live and minister in cross-cultural situations through an immersion experience in Guatemala. The course includes lectures, discussions and visits with people living and working cross-culturally who combine word and deed in their ministries. You will see, feel, experience and learn cross-cultural behavior, beliefs and values as well as the influence of history and politics on Guatemalan society and the church—all within the context of ministry. • In Introduction to Cultural Anthropology you will be introduced to a study of how human societies create and sustain cultural patterns and systems, including religion, economics, societal groupings, law, communications, and leadership—all with direct application to mission contexts.
Experiential learning is a key component of every student's experience. Your 400 hour senior level internship will provide you hands-on experience applying the principles, skills and techniques from the classroom.

Potential internship locations include: • African Inland Mission • GR Literacy Council • Veritas: Mission to the World • New City Ministries • Bethany Services Refugee Program • Roosevelt Park Ministries • Partners Worldwide • Living and Learning in Ecuador • Grand Rapids International Fellowship • Christian Reformed World Missions
When students complete the Intercultural Studies program, they will be equipped to find employment in the intercultural field or go to graduate school. They wil have both a solid theoretical foundation in missiology and a variety of practical experiences that have allowed students to test theory in real life. This preparation provides a solid foundation to successfully move to graduate study in missiology anywhere in the country or to apply to any mission agency. Upon completion of the Intercultural Studies program, students will be able to:
Professor Lisa Hoogeboom joined the faculty of Kuyper College in the fall of 2006 to teach introductory Greek as well as advanced Greek, which focuses on reading portions of the New Testament. Since then, Professor Hoogeboom has also taught various biblical studies classes. In 2010, she added the role of Program Director of the Intercultural Studies program to her role at Kuyper.

Volunteers are the heart of our efforts
Over the course of 25 years, hard-working ONDA volunteers have planted thousands of trees, restored dozens of miles of streams, decommissioned old roads and removed enough barbed wire to stretch from one end of Oregon to the other. They've also toiled endlessly in our offices, written letters, attended meetings and events, all toward one goal: giving our deserts a voice.
Every year, ONDA offers dozens of volunteer trips into some of the most scenic and sensitive landscapes in Oregon's high desert. With activities including pulling out barbed wire fence, planting trees, surveying potential wilderness areas and monitoring sage grouse breeding grounds, there is an ONDA trip fit for desert lovers of all abilities and ages. Best of all, most trips are FREE, so join ONDA today to get in on the fun!
Improving habitat for wildlife! One way we do this is by removing obsolete barbed-wire from our public lands. This is critical to restoring habitat for native species like the sage grouse and pronghorn. For example, the pronghorn antelope is North America's fastest land mammal. Approaching speeds of 60 miles per hour, an unseen fence can be a rude awakening and is one contributing factor to the long-term decline in pronghorn populations across the West. Learn more about all our stewardship and restoration projects HERE. Take a look at our current calendar of volunteer work trips HERE.
Office and event volunteers are the best! We also need volunteers to help out in our Bend and Portland offices with a variety of administrative tasks and to assist with our annual calendar of outreach events. Helping ONDA to broaden our scope through these activities is vital to our success. Support Oregon's deserts with a gift of time. To get involved, fill out our volunteer info form and contact us today for current opportunities.

The Oscars celebrate movies, the Grammys for music, but I look forward to a more lively show. To be more specific, a conference.
The E3 conference in LA is on this week, and it's a perfect time for people who love all things video games and technology to geek out essentially at the titles that are soon to come out.
At CDWOW, we're essentially giddy with excitement seeing gameplay footage of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3, Deus Ex 3, Gears of War 3, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3 -- Jeez, a bit of a pattern here, right?
I highly recommend you pre-order these games, because they are going to be phenomenal.
What tends to be misunderstood about video games is how they're more than just an outlet for teenage kids to zone out and not do their homework. They're artistic, cinematographically crafted pieces of film that help people of all ages zone out.
Take for example the Encharted series. The first game caught the eyes of gamers for its ability to absorb the player into the story. Through motion-capture and terrific voice-acting, they managed to make essentially an interactive movie where you couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.
So what did the team at Naughty Dog decide to do? Make an awesome sequel. Not only was the main character of Nathan Drake still as charming, witty and bad-ass as he was in the first game, but because technology never stops improving, it was knocked up a massive notch.
So what did the team at Naughty Dog decide to do? Make this:
They even re-created Tomb Raider (which yes, at first I was skeptic of pretty much everything about it).
For gamers out there, your thumbs are going to get pret-ty sore.
That is unless you have Kinect for the Xbox 360, in which case your whole body will be.
See anything you can't wait to see?

And I'm Proud to be a Basset Hound
…Where at least I'm loved by fleas.
Here's a Monday list. Because it's Monday and not Thursday.
1. Charlie isn't really proud to be a Basset Hound, because he does not yet know he is a Basset Hound. In order to be proud that he's a Basset Hound, he would have to first recognize that he is not a human, and that he is not a king.
2. It is my strong belief that soft, mushy abdomens should be back into style.
3. I can't sing. There have been times I've thought I could sing, but all this time it turns out I really can't. I sound really good if my voice is barely above a whisper; after that, it starts to crumble.
4. I'm quite lazy. Have I ever told you that before?
No? Oh, sorry.
I was probably too lazy to tell you.
5. I once knew a girl who dated a boy whose friends said they'd give him $20 if he licked bird poop off of a picnic table, and he did it.
6. I wish I'd never met that girl. In twenty years, I haven't been able to shake that mental picture.
7. As a baby, my biggest fear was eating bananas. As a teen, my biggest fear was being pale. As a young adult, my biggest fear was Charlie Manson. Now, my biggest fear is eating bananas.
8. Sometimes I can bake bread, but lots of times I fail miserably. But I eat it anyway.
With softened butter.
9. I wonder why I can't drop this baby weight?
10. My baby just turned six last week.
11. Marlboro Man doesn't like soup.
12. I, on the other hand, like soup very much.
Dear Ann Landers: Is there hope for us?
13. Speaking of my brother Mike. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was pulled over in my hometown because I hadn't yet put the license plate on my car after having gotten the license plate seven months earlier. So when the cop asked me why I hadn't put the license plate on the car yet and I answered (truthfully) that I hadn't been able to find a screwdriver, I knew I was probably going to get a ticket. But then the police officer paused, looked at me, and said, "Hey, aren't you Mikey's sister?"
"Yes." I said. "I am Mikey's sister."
Then you know what that nice law enforcement officer did? He went back to his squad car, retrieved a screwdriver, and put my license plate on my car for me. Then he asked me to say hi to Mike and he hopped in his car and drove away.
I was seventeen.
I think I still had a lot to learn about the world.
14. Speaking of my brother Mike. Last week he declared that he now wishes to be called Michael.
15. I think I'll call him Bub next time I see him, just to see what he does.

Oh, Charlie–holds a special place in my heart–what a lovey, dovey doggie friend that he would be…
Great story about Mike, ahem Michael. I love your randomness.
Ambur On Monday, June 7 at 5:54 pm
The sister's requirement to bug/harass her brother is a time honored tradition. Glad to know you are doing your part. Hope he gets worked up enough for you to now he still cares. Happy Monday!
Sarah On Monday, June 7 at 5:58 pm
I'm also deathly afraid of bananas. They come from Hades, I'm sure of it!
Melissa On Monday, June 7 at 6:07 pm
Wait, I thought the baby just turned 5.
Molly On Monday, June 7 at 6:13 pm
I hate bananas too. I remember being forced to try one when I was very young, and I hated it. I still loathe 'em. XD
Ivy On Monday, June 7 at 6:28 pm
Be careful calling Mike "Bub", he might say "Turkey Butt Ass Hell" if he doesn't like it!
Genesis Wheeler On Monday, June 7 at 6:28 pm
Yes, soft mushy abdomens SHOULD be back in style. Amen.
Erika S. On Monday, June 7 at 6:28 pm
I am glad #2 is a strong belief of yours and we sure can tell since there isn't one bit of info about exercise on your blog which is one of the reasons I keep coming back to read it BTW my baby turned 25 last month and I still blame my squishy belly on him. Of course he will tell you its because I have been boycotting sit-ups for as long as he's been alive
dana On Monday, June 7 at 6:29 pm
Glad to hear you have come full circle with the banans! Love the Mikey/Michael progression! AND THANKS FOR SHARING THE BIRD POOP STORY. NOW I WONT GET THE IMAGE OUT OF MY HEAD EITHER. EWWW
DJ On Monday, June 7 at 6:30 pm
You are SO funny! Hey my brother did the same thing. Everyone in the family called him Mike, but she called him Michael because she had a brother Michael. So at about age 40 he decided everyone should call him Michael. But my mom refused.
Casey On Monday, June 7 at 6:38 pm
Great list. Too funny. I've been wondering when I'm going to drop the baby weight, too. It's been 4 years since my last baby. I was thinking I might start soon, maybe, but then I just made my first Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich tonight. That weight's gonna be around for a while. I'm hooked.
Kim On Monday, June 7 at 6:42 pm
You write how I think.
I can't sing either ~ and I love soup.
Maybe we're long lost sisters.
Which would be awesome ~ bc many times, I could use a brother Michael, too.
Thanks for the Monday smile~
Karen On Monday, June 7 at 6:44 pm
Bub will be angry with P-Dub if she doesn't call him Michael
meghan @ spicy magnolia On Monday, June 7 at 6:47 pm
I'm proud to tell you that I was dared to lick dried ice cream off the wall of our college hang out and I did it, just to impress a boy. It wasn't impressive, and I take it back, I'm not proud of it. But I did receive something greater than 20 bucks for it…the man I was trying to impress. He's now my hubby! Does that make you feel sorry for him???
Charmings Mama On Monday, June 7 at 6:58 pm
What?! Doesn't like soup, that's just plain un-american.
Bob Hayles On Monday, June 7 at 7:01 pm
#100…Darla…that is one of the best descriptors I've ever heard. "…they just go sit right in the middle of your heart."
Way cool.
Salty Mama On Monday, June 7 at 7:03 pm
I better number 15 gets you called a sting of Michael-esque four letter words!
linda@Limeinthe coconut On Monday, June 7 at 7:05 pm
I say Michael saved the day. Maybe even the decade. Carrry on.
Holly B. On Monday, June 7 at 7:05 pm
I LOVE the "mike's sister" story. I laughed out loud.
marilyn d. On Monday, June 7 at 7:05 pm

Amy from She Wears Many Hats (missamy) On Monday, June 7 at 7:08 pm
Oh, to be a fly on the wall inside your cranium. You crack me up.
Carol On Monday, June 7 at 7:14 pm
And now I can't get that picture out of my head, either! Gag!!!
Madeline St Onge On Monday, June 7 at 7:19 pm
I haven't lost all my 'baby' weight yet either and my baby is *34*
Cheryl Barker On Monday, June 7 at 7:22 pm
I love bananas. They're not scary — I promise!
Kristina On Monday, June 7 at 7:31 pm
Thanks to you, I now have "Proud to be an American" stuck in my head. Curses!!!! *shakes fist*

Be sure to tell Bob that we all said "hey!"
LBDDiaries On Monday, June 7 at 7:48 pm
Alpha Hubby doesn't like soup either and I love it! He hates peaches (that fuzz thing) but bananas are OK in our house! My baby is 27. We aren't going to talk about that.
Your list just made my day – feel good and laughing – thanks!
Married to an Aussie in OK On Monday, June 7 at 7:49 pm
#2 is SOOO awesome. I'd love it. And I love that Mike (Michael) story!
LBDDiaries On Monday, June 7 at 7:49 pm
By the way – is that title sung to the tune by Lee Greenwood, "I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free…"?
Sarah On Monday, June 7 at 8:06 pm
i know a woman who told the story of her husband lifting a piano and accidentally pooping himself while lifting. i can never look at him again.
Kimberly Loomis~The Musician's Wife On Monday, June 7 at 8:10 pm
You're greatest fear was Charles Manson and you named your dog Charlie? That is an awesome way to take the power away from a name, let me tell you! Way to go!
Mary On Monday, June 7 at 8:13 pm
Not like soup!!! How can anyone not like soup? As for Mike….Bub is a great name.
Cindy in GA On Monday, June 7 at 8:14 pm
1. Ree, I have something I've been meaning to tell you. Brace yourself. Are you sitting down? Good. It's just that I…
I love bananas.
I'm sorry!!!! Can we still be Facebook friends? Please???? I can't help it! They're so creamy & sweet and delicious! They're awesome in muffins with chocolate chips or in a cream pie or in fruit smoothies or in a bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce! I tell you what. If we're ever out at a fondue place together and they put banana slices on the dessert plate to dip in the chocolate, I'll eat them all and leave the little cheesecake squares for you. 'K?
2. I can't sing either. Thank goodness at least one of my children is still too young to know that.
Dorothy Hinds On Monday, June 7 at 8:16 pm
Too funny! and speaking of your brother…MY brother is Mike (Mikie) also and now that he is grown….I call him Bub! (Uncle Bub to my kids!)
And BTW I iwll now be haunted by the bird poo story sooo not worth $20!
Amy On Monday, June 7 at 8:18 pm
Love the list. Good stuff, Ree!
stevie On Monday, June 7 at 8:20 pm
what's the rush on losing baby weight? my baby will be 39 next week and I haven't lost it yet.
ok, maybe i did once or twice – but every time I gain it back I still blame him.

It's about time you wrote another Mike (or Michael) (or Bub) post. I miss hearing about your sweet brother.
Leslie On Monday, June 7 at 8:33 pm
I love Charlies lips. LOVE them.
I just had to tell you that.

Here in the City of Angels, I was so groggy from the after effects of the 2:17am earthquake, I had to have Starbucks twice today!
It's okay with me if my perfect spouse to be doesn't like soup, but he must like sushi and sashimi. Must.
Deb On Monday, June 7 at 8:46 pm
You crack me up!! I thought I could sing too. My sister was nice enough to tell me years ago one day while I was singing, (in only the tone that teenage sisters can use) "I used to wish I could sing. Now I just wish you could!!"
I still love her, well most days anyway : )

Alex On Monday, June 7 at 8:53 pm
I just repeated the bird poop story to my hubby. He topped it with a DISGUSTING story that I can't even bring myself to share… now I have 2 mental images I wish I could forget. Sigh.
Southern Gal On Monday, June 7 at 8:55 pm
Oh, please record Mike when you call him Bob. Pretty please?
Janet On Monday, June 7 at 8:55 pm
The moment I read the word "Mike" I smile and then I laugh out loud when you tell us he wants to be called Micheal. I love him so much. Don't you tease him too much Ree. On second thought……..if you do, can you record it please?
Rene Foust On Monday, June 7 at 8:56 pm
I just had the discussion about mushy stomachs with my friend we both said that we couldn't wait for the day that is was considered extremely fashionable to be pudgy because when that day does come I will be the highest paid model on the cover of Vogue!
Janet On Monday, June 7 at 8:57 pm
@Soutern Gal…..great minds think and post alike!!!
barG On Monday, June 7 at 9:10 pm
Rethinking it…maybe Sir Charles likes the bachelor's life with Cowboy Josh. Oops sorry that wasn't on your list.
Does Charles like soup? BTW you can expect to lose your baby fat when your punk is 30 years old. LOL
Megan On Monday, June 7 at 9:11 pm
Loved your list. Especially because it was random.
Now I must cut this comment short because my fingers feel like jello after having done the shred for the very first time ever.
I will punish someone for telling me about the shred…I just can't remember who told me first.
Caryn On Monday, June 7 at 9:16 pm
You are SO silly! And consider MY next blog post a "tribute", not plagirism – ok? You always inspire me to write how I think – thank you!

Food o' del Mundo On Monday, June 7 at 9:30 pm
I hate bananas too. But I LOVE banana bread. This weekend I was forced to make a carmelized banana lime pie with a coconut crust. Forced because hubby didn't eat all his bananas this week and I had six staring at me. The freezer already had an over-load of bananas and we just had banana bread. I just knew I'd HATE this pie, but I tried it anyway. DAMN if it wasn't DELICIOUS! I have been told your taste buds change every seven years, but I'm not about to eat a raw banana – no way no how!
anna On Monday, June 7 at 9:41 pm
Your story of Mike made me chuckle. I got pulled over a couple of weeks ago for speeding (my fault, I didn't know the speed limit) and I resigned myself. However, I'm pretty sure that the officer let me off with a warning because of my brother, who was in the passenger seat and very nervous because this was the first time he had ever been in a car that had been pulled over before. Also, I think my brother was anxious that he would be late for bowling with his Special Rec. league. Despite my previous speeding ticket (back in college), I was given a warning and told to slow down the entire length of the road.
And, I don't call him by his name or his preferred nickname of "Captain". It's much more fun to call him baby names.
Jamie Perleberg On Monday, June 7 at 9:48 pm
My husband and I, along with our 3 year old, went for our normal walk around the neighborhood tonight. As we got closer to this one house I could see we were going to have to stop for a while…there was a gentleman outside letting all 7 of his basset hound puppies run around in his yard with momma. Our 3 year old immediately had a smile from ear to ear (he's never been around puppies before). He were there for about 30 minutes just watching the little ones run around growling and whining (they were 6 wks old). Too cute and SO precious..I can now understand your love for basset hounds. I just wish I had my camera on me!!
Jeanie On Monday, June 7 at 9:51 pm
#1 made me think of the following Douglas Adams quote:
"If somebody thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you just give 'em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves." ~ Douglas Adams
Unfortunately, I don't think it works that way with dogs. *g*
Jennifer On Monday, June 7 at 9:54 pm
Happy Pride Month, Charlie!
Robbie On Monday, June 7 at 9:59 pm
I'll never understand the childhood fascination with licking feces.
Kim On Monday, June 7 at 10:10 pm
Awww shucks. What is it that Mikey says when he's mad–you know, at the dinner table? I tried to find it in your love story, but can't just re-read the whole thing. I think if you call Mikey Bub, he's gonna let loose! Tread lightly lady!
btw, my brother Eric, known as Rick until he graduated from college decided then to go by Eric. It took me years to get used to it. Nowadays, if someone asks how Rick is, I have no idea who they're talking about.
Calli Makes Do On Monday, June 7 at 10:14 pm
My kids just asked me why I laugh so hard every time I read Pioneer Woman. I tried to tell them what was so funny… and I couldn't. It was lost in translation. But anyway, I love having a good laugh at least once a day.
Deb Wisker On Monday, June 7 at 10:22 pm
question…who died so Charlie could become King? Last I knew he was Prince Charles…..was there a koo and he took the throne by force? Did someone abdicate? Do tell!
trista On Monday, June 7 at 10:35 pm
I love #13–I think I still have a lot to learn.
Jocelyn A. On Monday, June 7 at 10:35 pm
Too funny!
My Mom still claims that she hasn't lost her baby weight yet. I'm the youngest and I'll be 28 in September…
I think if she can count that, then I can call mine baby weight too. (In spite of the fact that I don't have babies yet.)
Mary Weinstein On Monday, June 7 at 10:41 pm
Oh no – now I can't get the bird poop licking image out of my head!!! Twenty years of that image in my head – ugh!
lori McKenna On Monday, June 7 at 10:47 pm
Thanks for the visual on the bird poop. Now I'll never get it out of my mind either.
Lucky you to have "Michael" for a brother. It's always good to have friends (or relatives) in high places.
Greenbeam On Monday, June 7 at 10:50 pm
My brother informed me that he wanted to be called Ron, not Ronnie. He'll always be Ronnie to me.
Barbara On Monday, June 7 at 10:53 pm
You are so freaking entertaining. I need to get out more. wait, I'm a home school mother. I never can get away. So keep the laughs coming, please. I bought 15 copies of your cookbook and gave them to all my friends for Christmas. We love it and compare PW recipes. Then in Jan and Feb. I went on a diet and lost 20 lbs. so I was unable to eat anything from that cookbook for two months. My husband loves Marlboro Man's Sandwich so I make it for him and just "taste" it. Yum.
Kathy Kennedy On Monday, June 7 at 11:11 pm
What about hearty soups? Certainly he likes hearty soups?! C'mon!
And we are long overdue for a Mike story. C'mon!
Cristina On Monday, June 7 at 11:27 pm
Don't worry, it took me six years to drop my baby weight too! Don't lose faith.
Mary S On Monday, June 7 at 11:36 pm
who doesn't like soup? or bananas for that matter? I'm afraid of loose meat . It has to be formed…no sloppy joes, no
meat sauce (yes to meatballs)…I hate tiny pellets of meat that may have hidden gristle..and I can't even talk about gristle. And Mike…well Mike has given you compassion.
Jennifer On Monday, June 7 at 11:52 pm
I'm with ya on the mushy belly thing. My baby is four. Bananas are scary. And evil. And they make me quiver in fear. And disgust. I don't have a brother named Mike or Michael. Actually, I don't even have a brother. I always wanted an older one but my mother wouldn't comply.
Lynann On Monday, June 7 at 11:56 pm
Ok, now, I don't want to call you a liar or anything… but lazy? Really? You homeschool your kids, take a gazillion photos, process said photos, cook a ton, wrote a book and had a book tour. Not to mention raising those four kids you are homeschooling and being a farm wife. If you'd like to see what lazy looks like, come to my house!
Bev On Monday, June 7 at 11:59 pm
A delightful mishmash of thoughts.
tifferrific On Tuesday, June 8 at 12:02 am
Great list!
I also do not like soup… excepting tomato and sometimes chicken noodle. But, my whole family loves soup!
Sharon On Tuesday, June 8 at 12:09 am
I really like your Monday list. My brain is random like that on Monday also. It's also random on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday my random thoughts seem to flow free because it's Sunday.
Mary On Tuesday, June 8 at 12:12 am
That was the best random, mumbo-jumbo reading I have had in ages. Hilarious! Thanks for sharing your brain dump with us.
Blue Penguin On Tuesday, June 8 at 1:07 am
Oh, love a good random list! My family has an utterly mad (trifle-eating) Siamese cat, who reminds me greatly of your basset hound. The said cat does not know that he *is* a cat, and is convinced either that he is human, or that we are all very large kittens put there for his general amusement. And I like soup, too (know it's not a terribly unusual thing, but just felt like sharing the soupy love!).
Erica On Tuesday, June 8 at 1:57 am
Boys. I once offered a friend a dollar to drink all the juice from a can of jalapenos, and he did it.
Vanessa M Design On Tuesday, June 8 at 3:23 am
You have a basset hound that thinks it's a king, me I have a labrador, that thinks she is my personal ottoman. I don't want to tell her the truth.
Lynn from For Love or Funny On Tuesday, June 8 at 5:08 am
Frankly, bananas are terrifying. I fear that Hollywood will eventually make a banana horror movie, and then I'll never be able to look at a banana again. P.S. My kid LOVES bananas, so there are always some bananas in my house.
mai On Tuesday, June 8 at 5:27 am
Now I don't feel so bad when the baby screams whenever I sings to her….she's only 5 weeks old! Sigh everyone's a critic.
Ann Marie On Tuesday, June 8 at 6:08 am
OMG!! I so needed that. Thanks Ree
Lynn On Tuesday, June 8 at 6:12 am
Oh Ree! You HAVE to make this soup recipe for MM. It's full of meat! Hubby, also not a big soup fan, loves it. It's so chock full of heartiness that I dare MM to not like it. If he doesn't, you can make fun of his manhood or something. LOL Try it you must! Here's the link: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Italian-Peasant-Soup

you are too funny. Thnaks for the laughs to start out my day – i didn't get to read these yesterday – so i am reading them this morning. =0)
Gretchen On Tuesday, June 8 at 6:56 am
Can Mike come help out my young, dumb son in court next week? (Speeding ticket). The cop might need some persuasion.
Terri Ab On Tuesday, June 8 at 7:16 am
1. I can't imagine being the girl to kiss the boy who licked bird poop.
2. If you're lazy, then I'm comatose.
3. I wish I could lose my baby weight, but since I don't have a baby, I have no one to blame that on.
4. Great Mike story!
Janet On Tuesday, June 8 at 7:17 am
Can't wait to hear what Mike, (sorry, Michael), has to say about that. PS-love the new banner, with the silhouette and the changing photo. Perfect!
wendy m On Tuesday, June 8 at 7:34 am
your brother totally pulled strings for you without being there, just by being himself. he has quite an image on people huh? I love your your blog, and your openness, I look forward to your tidbits. Have a great day!
Babychaser On Tuesday, June 8 at 7:39 am
I call my 3 year old precious son Bub… and I often feel weird about it. Really "Bub" is short for "Bubby"… and that was a morph from something else. Really, the way it happened is that I used to call him "Baby", but my sweet husband said I couldn't call him baby anymore after he turned one. So I started calling him "Buddy", but half the time I combine the two and it became "Bubby"… with shorter version being "Bub". I am certain you wanted to know the whole story. I may just have to blog about it now. Thanks for the inspiration!
Bonnie On Tuesday, June 8 at 7:44 am
Thanks for making me smile!
Redmagda On Tuesday, June 8 at 7:49 am
I LOVE it when you ramble like that….
Emily On Tuesday, June 8 at 7:54 am
You very patient husband and mine should be sainted. They have to put up with wives who's thought process is very disjointed. They just don't understand that we just have so much to say and so little time! Have a great day.
Lori On Tuesday, June 8 at 7:56 am
I finally put my finger on what I like about you – you are a big kid. You act I did when I was a kid, when life was fun and we laughed alot. I'm sitting here with big grown up problems today and you totally brought a smile to my face. Thanks for that.

It's been quite a while since we've come out from hiding and actually released something for our fellow, loyal user base to review and acknowledge.
Jerry P. – "The website has come a long way from just a few months ago. My wife and I look forward to the future of Hanahan and what M. Cochran is bringing to the Police Department."
A few things we've done recently that are right on par with what our overall goal is.
- We've created a "House Check" form that the citizens can register your houses/property while you are away on business, vacations, etc. We ask that you complete the form two weeks in advance to allow time to allocate through the online verification system, the department and straight to your zone officers.
- We've created a "Property Registration" page. We encourage ALL residents to Register your personal property trailers and your bicycles. This will allow the Police Department to better protect the citizens from property theft. In the future we might even do a serial tagging system that will better help identify the equipment, trailers, bicycles.
- We've added a City Ordinance page that will allow users to scan, search or browse through different City Ordinances that effect the citizens of Hanahan. Currently we do not have very many, but will be trying to increase that number over the next several weeks.
There have been several other changes, a lot of behind the scenes stuff. We are adding the function for mapping local crimes as it relates to Sex Offenders. Our hope is to go back over the next 5 years and add them to the crime map. A lot of larger cities display their crime data on charts similar to this for every crime. We are going to limit it to just Sex Crimes for community awareness reasons.
Web Stats
Some time has passed since we have paid close attention to our statistics of users, user locations, pages hit, number of contacts, etc. What we have found has been astonishing.
Mobile visitors has steadily been on the incline. We believe this is because the website is completely mobile. You can do everything that you do from a personal computer on a cell device, tablet, etc. We are also looking at the possibility of creating a few different versions for different devices. For instance, the site will render differently on an iPad vs. a Chromebook vs. a Blackberry device.
Feature Request
As always, we are looking to expand the website, community to reach more citizens and provide more information. What exactly would you like to see? What do you think we do now that we could do better? Everything we have/do now worthwhile? What about the application process?

I went for the first time 2 days ago and have already been back twice! The food is color coded for allergens, and absolutely delectable. Try the cold cut!

In addition to its current theme, the Institute embraces ongoing initiatives in public and global history.
Public History Initiative (PHI)
In both method and subject, public history involves broadening the definition of historical investigation and historical topics through collaborative practices. The Institute's Public History Initiative (PHI) aims to contribute to the theory and practice of public history, both bringing history to the widest possible audience and critiquing the ways history is produced and consumed, for and by "publics." Mindful of our geographical location in southeast lower Michigan, the PHI will explore social, political, environmental, and economic issues that are particularly resonant in this historical moment and that align with the Institute's current theme. The approaches of public history can also be applied to other regions and time periods, since one of the central goals of the initiative is to make scholarly findings as accessible as possible, recognizing that different constituencies engage the past in myriad ways.
To this end, the PHI will bring speakers who are conducting innovative work in public history. It will encourage historians to reach beyond disciplinary boundaries, too, collaborating with other groups, including other professionals, to document and analyze their own histories. Finally, the PHI will facilitate cooperation between academic historians and other educators to cultivate a reflective, integrated approach to the teaching and learning of history, both in classroom (K-16) settings as well as with adult audiences. We will also harness opportunities for partnerships with museums, historical societies, and preservation groups to contribute to a more sophisticated historical discourse in American popular culture.
Global History Initiative (GHI)
The Global History Initiative (GHI) grew from the May, 2009 Seminar "Teaching and Thinking in Global Dimensions." It is our hope that the GHI will aid and inform faculty and graduate students in sustaining future initiatives in global and world history; generating new proposals for new undergraduate and graduate courses in world history or adding global dimensions to existing courses; helping to prepare graduate students for an academic job market that increasingly calls for applicants with training in global/world history; drawing attention to the particular pedagogical challenges of teaching history beyond national frameworks; encouraging stronger connections among units on campus responsible for preparing K-12 teachers of history and the social sciences; and increasing opportunities to extend outreach to practicing Michigan area teachers in world history.

The Housing and Redevelopment Division oversees, manages and facilitates affordable housing programs similar to a Housing Authority. The Division also operates and links to other supportive services for those living in affordable and federally subsidized housing programs. Our primary focus is to provide affordable rental housing. On occasion, we develop, operate or link to homeownership programs for families that earn less the 80% of area median income.
The Division is committed to sustaining and expanding the supply of affordable and subsidized housing. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding for the core of the City's Public Housing operating budget, modernization program, youth after school programs, family self-sufficiency opportunities, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, and other federally funded supportive programs.
The Division is the clearinghouse for tax credit proposals to the Arizona State Department of Housing and serves as the City's liaison to the Industrial Development Authority on projects pertaining to affordable housing. Through these and other resources, this predominantly grant funded division of government provides affordable/subsidized housing opportunities and supportive services for low and moderate-income families in Chandler.

A shortcut placed on a LBC dock behaves differently from the same shortcut placed on my desktop.
The key is that LBC is not setting the "Starts in" properly, as coded in the link. In each case below the Starts in is coded: %USERPROFILE%\publishing\RW (as shown in the Properties of the lnk file). The shortcut invokes a Rexx script that executes the DIR command to show the starting directory.
Running the DIR command from outside LBC shows that the starting directory is properly set. Running from a LBC dock, the starting directory is set to C:\Program Files (x86)\LaunchBarCommander. This causes my application to fail.
Yes, I could change the script to set the directory, but I have hundreds of these, and I think LBC should do its job properly.
