The National Council of Churches in the USA and the Cuban Council of Churches have expressed "great joy and celebration" at renewed US-Cuba relations.
Following positive progress in relations between Cuba and the United States, the World Council of Churches has welcomed the developments.
His trip to Cuba will be the pontiff's second visit to Latin America, home to almost half of the world's Catholics. Benedict XVI visited Brazil in 2007.
Church leaders from the US and Cuba have wrapped up a five-day meeting in Havana with a call for "normalised relations" between the two countries.
As Cuba moves toward a post-Fidel Castro society, its churches are finding ways to "give a Christian witness with integrity" in a state-controlled country.

HiI have a duomid and need a polejackThinking of using some plastic piping.Does anyone hve any lighter or a brilliant idea?
for a nice, light but long pole jack, get one of those towel hangers for the bathroom. The hollow aluminum tube is perfect, and you can get from 12" to 18" so you don't have to pitch your pole in the middle.
I've never tried it myself but I don't see why a PVC pipe wouldn't work. It would be cheap and easy to customize too. If you wanted to get creative, you can get two different diameter PVC pipes so that one fits perfectly in the other, then drill holes through and through at different heights on the bigger diameter pipe. Then find something that would fit in the holes you drilled. This would enable you to have an adjustable height for your pole by sticking whatever object through the holes at the desired height, then sticking the smaller diameter pipe in the bigger diameter pipe. Once the smaller diameter pipe hits the object you stuck in the holes at your desired height, it would stop and give you the perfect length you wanted. Again, I've never tried any of this, it's just an idea.-Sid
My Duomid came with a pole jack. You might be able to order one from Ron if you want the original. Or you could use an aluminum tent pole splice like available at REI. Or a piece of small diameter PVC from your local hardware store or Home Depot. Or a piece of aluminum tube from the same. The possibilities are endless.
The hardware aisle at Home Depot has a display of aluminum angle, flat bar and tubing.

Our Holy Father's Prayer Intention for:
General Intention:
For Victims of Natural Disasters.
That the victims of natural disasters may receive
the spiritual and material comfort they need
to rebuild their lives.
Missionary Intention:
Christian Dedication to Peace.
That the dedication of Christians to peace may bear witness
to the name of Christ before all men and women
of good will.
I'm going to spend some time, meditating on these, the Holy Father has a deep spirituality, & we can fly to great heights when we follow his lead.
We so often miss the need for spiritual comfort in peoples lives, perhaps because so many seem not to need spiritual comfort, suffering from a type of spiritual anorexia. If we lack with meeting material comfort needed to rebuild lives, where are we with spiritual?
Interesting, in his Mission Intention, BXVI mentions 'men & women of good will'. Hmmm, just like the angels declared to the shepherds proclaiming Jesus birth… "peace to men of good will". This is thought provoking, people who do not have good will towards someone, anyone, will not have true peace, why? Good will towards all man is essential to peace within. We need to let go of all animosity, & pray for good will towards everyone.
Unforgiveness is spiritual cholesterol, blocking relationship, both with God & others. Man cannot be in a state of grace & have unforgiveness in his heart / lack good will towards another. We need to be set free! Free to Love properly, purely, wholeheartedly. Come Holy Spirit!
We pray everyday, the Our Father, as Jesus taught us to pray, asking forgiveness of our sins conditional to our forgiveness of others… it's a pretzel grip! We can't get out of it without letting go of every debt/ grudge we are judging & condemning another of.
"That the dedication of Christians to peace… may bear witness to the of the name of Christ… to men & women of good will." Those who do not have good will, cannot see Christ, because their hearts are hard towards man, Truth, Justice & indeed, God Himself. Their intentions are not pure, an agenda is at play.
Come Lord Jesus & strip us of all that is not You. We want to bear witness to Your Name. We forgive all sins against us, in Your Precious Name. Amen!

On one night in 2002 or 2003, an allegedly inebriated Foley showed up at the pages' dorm after a 10 p.m. curfew and tried to gain entry, according to an account provided by two congressional sources, who declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. Foley was turned away by a guard. It is not known if the pages were ever aware that Foley lurked outside their door, but word of the incident reached the House Clerk, who notified Foley's chief of staff, Kirk Fordham. This was not the first time that Fordham had learned of his boss's behaving, in that modern all-purpose euphemism, "inappropriately." Fordham decided that it was time to go to a higher authority, so he went to see Scott Palmer, chief of staff to the Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert. That, at least, is what Fordham is prepared to tell investigators, according to a knowledgeable source who requested anonymity in discussing the probe. Voters may not understand the legalistic ins-and-outs of campaign-finance scandals or know much about an influence peddler like Jack Abramoff beyond his name. But they can follow the details of a sex scandal, especially one that they can imagine harming their own children. It was not necessary to read Foley's leering (and worse) e-mails and instant messages to former congressional pages—in one, he asks "Do I make you a little horny?"—to be disgusted by an obvious abuse of power and trust. If enough voters express their feelings about the scandal at the polls in November (or by just staying home), the Republicans could lose control of Congress. There are plenty of theories about why the leadership did not take the matter more seriously. In the Washington power culture, incumbents are generally protected from the consequences of their own actions. That's especially true in a Congress where one party has ruled both houses for years; the concept of meaningful oversight has been essentially forgotten. And in a party ruled largely by conservatives, and built with the help of evangelicals, many of whom view homosexuality as unnatural and homosexual acts as sinful, leaders may also have had a special reluctance to scrutinize the sexual behavior of their colleagues or their staffs. In the end, the Republicans may not be able to escape the irony of the Foley scandal. In 2004, the GOP helped get President George W. Bush re-elected by turning out the base, especially the Christian right, to vote for state bans on gay marriage. In 2006, the GOP may lose control of Congress because it didn't try harder to investigate a gay congressman who was also a sexual predator.
Behind the scenes, attention increasingly focused on Foley's after-hours visit to the pages' dorm several years ago. If Foley were really behaving that outrageously so long ago, why hadn't more been done to stop him? The answers may start with the testimony of Fordham, the former Foley chief of staff who is now cooperating with federal investigators.
Fordham is prepared to tell investigators that he was warned "on two or three occasions" about Foley's "overly friendly" socializing with young male pages.
He was informed by Jeff Trandahl, then the Clerk of the House, who oversees the page program. On one occasion, sometime in 2002 or 2003, Trandahl told Fordham about Foley's nocturnal adventure to the pages' dorm. Trandahl told Fordham that Foley "appeared intoxicated," according to the source who provided Fordham's account to NEWSWEEK.

Biography Summary
Treatment for childhood cancer has come a long way in the last 50 years. A. Kim Ritchey, MD, is doing his part to ensure that Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh maintains its position as a leader of that progress. Dr. Ritchey is chief of the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Children's Hospital, professor of pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and president of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology.
Dr. Ritchey also is the principal investigator for the Children's Oncology Group (COG), which is now the only pediatric clinical trials organization funded by the U.S. National Cancer Institute. In his position, he is responsible for overseeing clinical research trials in different types of childhood malignancy. The COG currently has more than 75 active clinical research trials for children with cancer. Children's is one of only 20 select institutions within the COG that has approval to perform experimental studies with new drugs and treatments for children with cancer, also known as Phase I studies.
In the research studies he is overseeing at Children's, Dr. Ritchey is helping to increase the understanding of why some children are difficult to cure- for example, why some tumor cells have the ability to rapidly develop resistance to chemotherapy while others are responsive to therapy.
Dr. Ritchey is experienced in central nervous system leukemia and led a national clinical research trial in this area, which resulted in some of the best therapy published to date. He also is knowledgeable in hematologic disorders and has participated in clinical trials in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura1, anemia of malignancy, and sickle cell disease. His clinical interests include general cancer management, coagulation and bleeding disorders.
1 "Idiopathic" means that the cause is unknown. "Thrombocytopenic" means the blood doesn't have enough platelets. "Purpura" means a person has excessive bruising. In people with ITP, all of the blood cells are normal except for the blood platelets. A person with too few platelets bruises easily and bleeds for a long time after being injured. Tiny red dots on the skin, called petechiae, might also appear. When the platelet count is very low, the person with ITP might have nosebleeds that are hard to stop, or might have bleeding in the intestines.

About 55,000 peoplea 16% yearly decline and the events lowest turnout since its 2007 peak of about 92,000attended the annual exhibition held on Feb. 2-5. However, the thin crowds mood was more upbeat this year, visitors said, and exhibitors were selling more, tooa sign that the economic slump may be near the end.
I think, overall, the people are pleasantly surprised, said Tom Cindric, show director with Hanley Wood Exhibitions. Were hoping that the industry continues to move forward.
As usual, contractors attending the show scoured the aisles for tools and tricks to give them a competitive advantage. Its getting better, but were not out of it yet, said Trevor Barrett, owner of trucking and excavation firm Barrett Enterprises in Nantucket, Mass. Everyones just trying to get the edge. Power-tool firms took a safety tack, showing off dust guards and shop vacs aimed at reducing the risk of silicosis, a growing health concern.
Some equipment exhibitorsmany of whom trimmed down their booth spaces to save costspromoted existing products over new ones. Terex salespeople showcased a Bidwell paver and talked about how the 50-year-old design costs 85% less than $1-million slipform machines. The pitch helped the paving unit grow sales 110% last year, while other suppliers posted double-digit losses. Also on display was a remanufactured Terex Advance mixing truck, or glider, which costs almost half that of a new, $200,000 rig; it was on its way to buyer Pocono Transcrete Inc. of Pittston, Pa.
Disappointed so far with outlays from last years federal stimulus package, infrastructure suppliers said they were heavily targeting Latin America and particularly Brazil, which is ramping up to host soccers 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. Rios a mess, said Jeff Thress, regional sales manager for Terex-Bidwell. You are talking about almost third-world modernization down there.
Meanwhile, contractors in the States suffering from low sales, low utilization and high inventory have resorted to cannibalizing their fleets to save money. Concrete pumps look like Frankensteins, said Michael Wasserfuhr, CFO of Sturtevant, Wis.-based Putzmeister America Inc., who added that the parts business is starting to pick up again, a sign that the U.S. economy may be turning around.
Because of the scaled-down booths, smaller firms usually in the weeds at past shows now had a chance to shine. Thats allowed a lot of exhibitors to become a little more visible and get closer to the front of the action, said Cindric.

Obama 2012: 'Osama Bin Laden Will Never Again Walk the Face of This Earth. That's What Change Is.'
10:31 PM, Jan 9, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
At a campaign event this evening at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C., President Obama indicated that he had successfully brought about "change"--an ambiguous 2008 campaign promise--by killing terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. From the official White House transcript:
The president also listed Obamacare as a change he was responsible for, though he failed to mention the unpopularity of his signature legislation.
And the president warned that Republicans threaten the "very core of what this country stands for."
Supporters of President Obama's reelection effort paid at least $100 for tickets to attend tonight's event. A reported 700 folks were in attendance.

Kids' Club
If you would like to enroll your child in Kids' Club 2014-2015, please visit our Registration Information Page.
Kids' Club on Wednesday afternoons is for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. Every Wednesday from late September to mid-May, we gather at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church (MAPC) for a special afternoon of singing, learning the Bible, building friendships and playing games. Kids' Club at MAPC is one of the ways the congregation fulfills its promise at baptism to raise the children of this community in the knowledge and love of God.
The Kids' Club program is made up of three key components that serve to help children achieve a firm foundation of faith and strong relationships with one another that will last throughout their lives:
Taught by MAPC pastoral staff, the educational program at MAPC reflects our serious commitment to providing a solid theological foundation for our children. Our education program is designed not only to nurture our children's personal faith, allowing them to grow up secure in the knowledge of a God who loves them, but also inspires them to become peacemakers who care passionately about the welfare of our world.
Choir Program
The Kids' Club choir program is under the direction and leadership of Mary Huff, our Associate Director of Music. Dr. Andrew Henderson, the Director of Music at MAPC, also conducts, accompanies, and teaches our Kids' Club choirs. During the course of the year, the Children's and Cherub Choirs are regularly invited to sing at MAPC Sunday morning services and perform at holiday events.
The sacred music repertoire of the Children's Choir encompasses a wide range of choral literature for young voices, including the works of classical composers, African-American spirituals, traditional and modern hymnody and newly composed works. The children learn the fundamentals of reading music notation, practice healthy vocal technique, and experience the joys of singing together in a nurturing and challenging environment. Younger children in the Cherub Choir enjoy activities that include vocal exploration, rhythmic play, simple and partner songs, and healthy beginning vocal instruction. Participation in these choirs has proved to be a wonderful way for children to learn to enjoy and appreciate corporate worship.
View a gallery of kids participating in the Children's Choir.
Please note preschoolers in our Wee Kids classes do not participate in the choir program, but do have a music component to their class.
At MAPC, we believe that it is important to foster strong relationships with one another in our community, beginning with our youngest members! Our recreation program, which features both structured and unstructured times, gives kids opportunities for play, teamwork, and lots of fun.
One of the special features of Kids' Club is our weekly Family Dinner, which begins this year at 5:30 pm. Parents, siblings, and guests are invited to join the children, pastors, and staff during this meal. Family Dinners will also often include special presentations and events drawing Kids' Club into the greater MAPC community. This is a great way for families to get to know one another, and to interact with the teachers and volunteers on a more personal level. We strongly encourage all parents to participate as often as possible!
Ways You Can Serve
Kids' Club depends upon the participation of our parents to make this program a success. Come once, or come on a regular basis throughout the year!
You can serve in the following ways:
- Bible Study assistant teachers
- Recreation leaders and supervisors
- Supervise choir rehearsals on Sunday performance days
- Help plan our special events, such as our Christmas pageant
- Plan a special meal theme or event for our Family Dinners

Here comes a new adventure in
raising dog bait chickens. Yesterday, the mail man brought 44 Light Sussex chicken hatchings egg. As I type the incubator temperature is stabilizing and my mind is racing along all things poultry. Of all of God's creation that you can pasture, perhaps, I love chickens the best. When I look at chickens and watch them, when I collect the eggs they have laid, when I watch the baby chicks scratching at the ground and growing feathers it brings a deep satisfaction. A satisfaction that I've only found in being a wife, raising children, gardens, and chickens. Perhaps the reason is that in the very beginning God told man to go forth and multiply, keep and tend to the ground and the animals – the dominion mandate.
Light Sussex is a not a common breed of chicken you can buy through any hatcheries in the United States. And while I'm from the
Confederate States of America the South it seems I have a propensity toward poultry and gardening in a UK fashion. When I first saw the Light Sussex breed it was love at first sight. They inspired me to start thinking chicken again and to not be discouraged by previous dog attacks. Especially after seeing the following design for a poultry fence at the Ag Expo.
Last night I dreamed of chickens, there were chickens everywhere, they were standing on my stomach, they were nesting in my hair, they were pecking at my pillow, they were hopping on my head, they were ruffling up their feathers as they raced about my bed.
They were on the chairs and tables, they were on the chandeliers, they were roosting in the corners, they were clucking in my ears, there were chickens, chickens, chickens for as far as I could see… when I woke today, I noticed there were eggs on top of me.

OGDENSBURG – When Bruce and Yvonne "Bonnie" LaRose, owners of the Stonefence Resort, retired from the business in 2005, they never anticipated they would buy it back eight years later.
But for the last three months the couple has been restoring the 12-acre resort at 7191 Route 37 and training a new generation of hotel owners.
When the couple first bought the motel in 1985, it was a small roadside 12-unit motel run by George and Carol Erwin. The LaRoses lived next door in a white house that is now known as the Manor House on the resort. The Erwins approached the couple to ask if they would want to take over ownership of the motel.
"I remember it was a little rundown and had a man in a sombrero and a cactus on the roof blinking in neon lights," Mrs. LaRose said. "It was kind of a like a joke at the time, 'What would we want with that motel'
Eventually, the LaRoses acquiesced and began to fix up the motel. There was one colored television and one air conditioning unit between the 12-units. The husband-and-wife team worked hard to fix up the motel. They started out renting rooms at $27 a night.
"We liked it right away. We enjoyed it," Mr. LaRrose said. "It was profitable. We started right away with such good business that we started building and adding on."
Mr. LaRose eventually drew up his own plans to add extended-stay townhouses behind the motel. Eventually a front lobby, a marina, tennis court and a restaurant were added. The pool was moved to the back. Another extended stay unit by the river was built and completed in 1992.
While Mr. LaRose worked for St. Lawrence County as director of Data Processing in Canton, Mrs. LaRose managed the hotel.
"Bonnie built the business, and she worked very hard at it," Mr. LaRose said. "She was excellent with customers. She was in the office almost all of the time for at least 12 hours a day. She didn't mind it that much because she enjoyed the customers. We still have customers that come back even though we have been out of it for eight years that ask for Bonnie. I am sure we are going to have them coming back once they find out she is involved in it again."
The Stonefence Resort got its name from the thousands of feet of meticulously manicured stone fence that surrounds the property. The fences were built by the late stone wall builder Erwin K. Quigley.
"A lot of the stone comes from when we dug foundations for the buildings," Mr. LaRose said. "We had to do something with it so we built fences. He didn't build it all at once. It took nearly 10 years. Each year he would build a little more. We never dreamed we would build as much fence as we did."
Mr. LaRose said he is training his grandson, David Troiano, 20, to become general manager of the hotel one day.
"He is spending his time learning how to run it," Mr. LaRose said. "He is a people person, and he has some ideas on what he likes to see done."
Several other family members have also joined the family business, Mrs. LaRose said.
"It's not just David," she said. "His mother, Beth, is also helping. Our granddaughters will help with the housekeeping and computer work. Jack, our 13-year-old grandson, does all of the grass cutting. It truly is a family affair. We wouldn't think of doing this again without them."
In the last three months, Mr. LaRose said he has been working with his grandson to renovate the townhouses and restore several rooms after a fire destroyed a portion of the motel in February. He said there are no plans to expand the resort as of yet. The resort's restaurant, The Dining Room, which was heavily damaged by smoke, will remain closed for the time being.
"We just want to get the hotel back in order and build our customer base up again," Mr. LaRose said. "Bonnie and I very much enjoy the motel. We enjoyed the customers. We had a lot of repeat business which we value very much. Probably close to 40 percent of our business was goodwill, repeat business. We enjoyed having repeat business and having our customers come back. It got to be more like a family then."
Mrs. LaRose said that with the bulk of reservations done on the Internet business has changed drastically over the years.
"When we owned it we tried really hard to be a three-diamond, AAA-rated resort motel and that was what helped our business back in those days before there were reviews on the Internet," she said. "We also used to have the customers settle their bill when they checked out so we could greet them that morning. We enjoyed that. Now they leave anytime they want to leave. That's really different than what it used to be."
But despite the changing times, Mrs. LaRose said customer service is still Stonefence's number one priority.
"I never could stand it when a customer would complain," Mrs. LaRose said. "That was my biggest thing. I couldn't stand not having everything pleasing to people. That is what we are aiming for again - satisfied customers."
The couple said they hope to once again make the resort a destination, not just another roadside motel.
"Ogdensburg is centrally located to Ottawa, Lake Placid, Montreal and the Thousand Islands," Mr. LaRose said. "The St. Lawrence is a pretty good attraction all by itself. For years we had a family that came for a few weeks just for Muskie fishing. I always tell people this is the best place on the St. Lawrence River."

You may have been able to prevent debts if you had realized who you currently owe money to and just how much you owe. There is no better time than now to work on repairing past mistakes that can be adversely affecting your credit rating. The following advice is easy to follow and can help you repair your credit score.
While repairing your credit, look to get multiple credit types. How much credit and what kinds you have available both affect your credit score. Handling several different types of credit obligations including a mortgage, car loan and credit cards can hwlp you work towards improving your credit while paying for your credit obligations in a timely manner. Prior to agreeing to a debt settlement agreement, find out how that process is going to impact your credit score. Some ways of dealing with debt repayment are better for your credit score than others, so make sure you are achieving the best outcome for you before you sign anything. Some creditors have no concern over how your credit score can be affected by entering into certain agreements. These people just want your money. Having to deal with debt collectors is often very stressful and distressing. Cease and desist instructions can be used to ward off debt collectors to a point, but only really to prevent harassment. This will stop the calls from collection agencies, but that doesn't mean consumers can keep ignoring the debt. Checking your credit report annually is essential to maintaining a strong credit score. Many changes can take place on your credit report over a years time, some even unknown to you. These can have a negative impact on your score. If you don't know about them, you can't fix them. Be sure to check your report with all three reporting agencies to keep your credit in top notch shape. Maintain both a savings and a checking account. Having these active accounts will show creditors and banks that you have income coming in on a regular basis and that you manage your bills properly. Keep those accounts in near perfect standing to show you are responsible. This means avoiding bounced checks and over-drafting your accounts. If you are having trouble creating or maintaining a budget, discuss your situation with a credit counseling service. They may be able to talk to your creditors and figure out a repayment plan; they can also assist you with your long-term financial goals. It will also teach you about how to use finances in general, as well as how to be responsible with past obligations.
Paying cash for smaller purchases will not only save ones credit cards from being overused but it will also help one repair their credit. By keeping down the amounts on their credit cards by paying cash whenever one can will not only limit the bill one has to pay but repair credit.
To have a better credit report, pay your bills as quickly as possible. Create a schedule of your monthly payments and stick to it. Your debt will not keep on growing and your report will not contain any late payments. Late payments is something banks and financing agencies look at when granting you a loan.
Paying everything on time is key to a good credit score. Pay the minimum requirement at worst, but try to send something in. Even a single missed payment can damage your credit. If your credit card is carrying more than half of its credit limit, your first priority should be paying it down until it is below 50%. When your debt is over 50%, credit ratings usually go down. With that said, try to spread out the debt that you have or try paying it off.
Maintain both a savings and a checking account. Active accounts demonstrate income and bill paying, which is a sign of financial responsibility. People with good credit have checking and savings accounts in good order without overdrafts and bad checks. This is a basic requirement that all creditors desire. Find a legitimate credit repair agency to work with. Unfortunately, the credit repair business does have a significant number of companies that are not reputable. Slimy operators are quite common, so beware of credit repair scams. Check online reviews about the company, the Better Business Bureau, and even the State Attorney General's office to find out what their reputation is before signing anything or giving them any money or account numbers.

I've lived in Minnesota all my life. I grew up in a bad part of Minneapolis with my twin brother and single Mom. I attended Augsburg College and then married my high school sweetheart and we were together till her passing 32 years later. After that, life took me on a few paths that had some challenging twists and turns and only now have I reached a clearing where I truly see blue sky and a great desire to pursue my plans and goals for my future. I've worked for two fortune five hundred companies as well as starting my own small landscaping business 20 years ago. Im a very positive, honest and trustworthy person. I enjoy variety and change in day to day life, a flaming romantic and would love to share the rest of my life with someone very special to me..

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Currently reorganizing my landscaping business and hope the upcoming economy will assist me in my business goals for 2014. I Work out at the gym about five times a week, hate going but feel great when I'm done. Shopping for a new camera to start my love of photography again. Enjoy going out to dinner to new restaurants I have yet to try. Love to sing and slow dance at local kareoke dive bars once and a while. Also, my son just signed me up for broomball...good God.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Landscaping. We did alot of the Parade of Homes model locations over the years. I love music and sing pretty well...country love ballads...not the old twangy stuff. lol. Enjoy writing short stories mixing non-fiction and fiction to add a bit more color to the plots. Wish I had more time for photography, have captured some great moments over the years. Interior design..something I may persue more once I'm worn out from landscaping.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I usually have a smile on my face and I'm told a confident way I carry myself in large and small crowds.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
My favorite book would be "To Kill A Mocking Bird". My favorite movie "Bridges Of Madison County". On T.V., mostly cable news or old reruns to just get me laughing. I like Jazz, Celtic a bit but mostly country music... Garth, Allen Jackson, Clint Black, Sawyer Brown, Zak Brown and George Strait. Food...Mexican, pizza and all American mashed potatoes and gravy, Jucy Lucies and don't get me started on cheesecake. My favorite Restaurant is W.A. Frost's in St. Paul rated no.1 in the Twin Cities for outside dining...on a warm summer night with the lights strung throughout the tree tops like a canopy over you it's almost mystical looking and quite romantic to say the least.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
I have two wonderful adult children and a lovely granddaughter, does that count as 3? Hate th cell phone, hate th internet, hmmm.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
where I've been, and now, where I'm going..and with who.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Lately, at home painting my living room. Prior to that, out a few nights a month for either a nice dinner or pullin on my faded Levi's, white tee shirt n boots and finding the local kareoke dive bar for some singing and a few slow dances..I'm a two drink per evening out kinda guy by the way. Jack & coke in a short glass...not as easy to tip and fewer trips to the bathroom.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Here? nothing. To my significant other...the possibilities and list could be endless.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
...you'd like flowers sent to you for no reason other than being the person you are, or would like to maybe sleep together under the stars in our front yard on a hot summer night and in the morning, have our neighbors wishing it had been them. Message me if you'd like to be at a party together sometime and from across the room, with just a glance, we can connect so easily as to what the other is thinking... or maybe letting me wash your hair in a warm steamy shower at times or to hold the door for you even when no one is looking. To maybe sleep in my old tee shirts at night when I'm away. Someone to gently wipe the tears from your eyes after a sad movie has ended or to pull up the covers for you when your sleeping so you don't get cold in the night. Or maybe our first cup of coffee together out on the front porch during a rare morning thunderstorm. To share a carton of ice cream together in bed with just one spoon n a good classic movie. Or to come up behind you for no reason other than desire, and gently lift the hair from the back of your neck and slowly kiss you there and listen to you breath. If you want someone to be there for you, if only to be held a bit and assure you everything will be ok..message me.

Core DirectorJohn C. Lieske, M.D.
Nephrolithiasis is common, affecting up to 10% of the population. Symptomatic stone episodes produce significant pain and suffering, as well as great individual and societal economic costs. Much effort has been directed towards understanding metabolic abnormalities that can increase urinary supersaturation, which is clearly one key factor that initiates and favors stone growth. However, crystal–crystal and crystal-cell interactions also appear to be critical events during the early stages of stone formation. Therefore, increased understanding of the factors that modulate the interface of urinary proteins and crystals, and hence their subsequent interaction with other crystals or cells, is a necessary prerequisite for identifying new therapeutic targets. Such knowledge will in turn enable development of new strategies for the treatment and prevention of renal stone disease.
Therefore, the urinary phenotyping core serves 4 key functions in support of this Urology O'Brien Center:
The Urinary Phenotyping Core directly supports Project 2 and Project 3, and Pilot Project 2, although it may also be of value for pilot projects initiated during later years of the Center's activities:
Given the explosion of proteomic techniques and its ready applications to urine, this core will provide Urology O'Brien Center researchers ready access to a modern proteomics tool kit, taking advantage of resources and expertise of the Mayo Proteomics Research Center (MPRC). This includes access to the latest mass spectrometer technology available, as well as bioinformatics resources necessary to analyze and interpret the large data sets typically produced in modern proteomics experiments.

5. Anna Wintour hates Silvio Berlusconi (so does Donatella's Versace's brother), but has befriended Nicki Minaj. Meanwhile, Carine Roitfeld is mounting a return to the magazine world. Also, they both had to stand at Balenciaga.
6. The Duchess made quite a comeback! Kate might cover Vogue, even though the Palace says it isn't going to happen. More importantly, Kate went shopping at Topshop! She also wore a red lacy frock to a friend's wedding and a cream dress on a hospital tour.
7. Fashimals! Fashimals! Fashimals!
8. People did stupid things on the internet! Scott Schuman slammed Tavi Gevinson, the Twitterverse freaked out over a false YSL rumor, a Canadian MP's picture was Photoshopped on account of cleavage, and a retail store sent the rudest email ever. In related news, is the fashion blogger agent bubble about to burst?
9. The Occupy Wall Street people are making some bad sartorial choices. They should really look back in history for inspiration.

A new female mountain lion cub will make her home at the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park, after the zoo acquired her Thursday.
According to a news release from the zoo, the cub was one of three that had been orphaned recently in southwest Oregon. Her two siblings were relocated to the Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, Kan.
The zoo said the unnamed cub will join 2-year-old Ninja on exhibit next spring.
According to the zoo, mountain lions live mostly in the western United States and Canada. They weigh 75 to 150 pounds and have a carnivorous diet both in the wild and at the zoo. Females are either pregnant or raising cubs most their lives.
After three months of gestation, two or three cubs usually are born in a litter and live with their mother for up to two years.
The zoo also said that with the exception of Florida panthers, cougars are not listed as endangered, but they do face many challenges because of human encroachment and habitat destruction.
The zoo credited Michelle Schireman of the Oregon Zoo, Portland, with passing it information about the cub.

Trading Up: The New American Luxuryby Michael J. Silverstein and Neil Fiske and John Butman
"No longer just for super-rich blue bloods, the 'luxury' experience has become thoroughly middle-class, even prole (two words: 'Gucci T-shirt'). But is this good news or bad news? In the view of Michael J. Silverstein and Neil Fiske, the authors of the depressingly hilarious and hilariously depressing Trading Up, it is good news. Particularly if you're the CEO of Bath & Body Works, which Fiske is, or the head of Victoria's Secret ('a $3.5 billion multichannel brand'), as is the book's preface writer." Sandra Tsing Loh, the Atlantic Monthly (read the entire Atlantic Monthly review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A fascinating look at why millions of consumers are "trading up" to premium goods, and how companies can profit from this phenomenon.
Middle-market consumers have more discretionary income than ever before and are willing to pay extra for "new luxury" goods and services — items that deliver higher quality, technical advantages, and superior performance to conventional products. Above all, consumers are looking for emotional engagement — they look to products to help them manage the stresses of everyday life, and to help them realize their aspirations. A new luxury good may be as simple as a shampoo ($9 from Aveda, versus $3 from Suave) that brings moments of comfort and sensual pleasure, or as complex as a car ($26,000 for a bottom-of-the-line Mercedes, versus $20,000 for a Pontiac) that delivers feelings of safety and excitement.
Clothing, cars, beer, coffee, kitchen appliances, lingerie, personal care, pet food, restaurants — in dozens of categories, new luxury goods occupy a sweet spot in the market, because they can sell in much higher unit volumes than "old luxury" goods, but command much higher profit margins than ordinary products. But new luxury leaders — such as Callaway Golf, Victoria's Secret, Panera Bread, Belvedere vodka, Whirlpool Duet, and Williams-Sonoma — create and market their goods very differently than do conventional companies. Trading Up explores what's driving this move to premium goods, tells the inside stories of many New Luxury companies and their leaders, and offers insights and methods that can help the reader take advantage of this remarkable phenomenon. The book is based on the authors' experience in helping clients create billions of dollars worth of New Luxury products as well as on exhaustive supporting research.
"Despite the book's slight technical flaws, including a high degree of repetitiveness, its insights into a highly lucrative market...make this a must read for anyone interested in practical economics." Publishers Weekly
The Boston Consulting Group is a $1 billion private company with 3,000 employees in fifty-six cities worldwide, and a leader in retail and consumer product strategy.
From Williams-Sonoma to Victoria's Secret, Trading Up explores what's driving the move to premium goods, tells the inside stories of many New Luxury companies and their leaders, and offers insights and methods that can help the reader take advantage of this remarkable phenomenon.
Trading up isn?t just for the wealthy anymore. These days no one is shocked when an administrative assistant buys silk pajamas at Victoria?s Secret. Or a young professional buys only Kendall-Jackson premium wines. Or a construction worker splurges on a $3,000 set of Callaway golf clubs.
In dozens of categories, these ?new luxury? brands now sell at huge premiums over conventional goods, and in much larger volumes than traditional ?old luxury? goods. Trading Up has become the definitive book about this growing trend.
First published to media acclaim in October 2003, Trading Up revealed how today's middle-class consumers are seeking higher levels of quality, taste, and aspiration than had ever been possible beforein their choices of cars and clothing, vodka and beer, golf clubs and dolls, and much more. The book identified a major opportunity for entrepreneurs and innovators, managers and marketers, in every category of consumer goods and services. Now Michael Silverstein and Neil Fiske have thoroughly revised this BusinessWeek bestseller with new research and new insights into the still- growing phenomenon of trading up.

Ah, summer. That time of year when the fridge is covered in cream-colored envelopes with fancy fonts. It's wedding season, and if you're spending all your time buying gifts from registries and listening to a bridal march for what feels like the 100th time this summer, why not take a break from all those taffeta bridesmaids dresses and have yourself a little vacation to southeastern France in Ellen Sussman's new book A Wedding in Provence?
Olivia and Brody are excited to spend their wedding weekend at a charming B&B owned by their friends in Provence. In their 50s, they are optimistic at their second chance at a loving marriage. Their family and friends are in attendance, ready to celebrate with them. However, even in this idyllic setting, old family jealousies and new problems threaten to overturn the joy of their wedding weekend. Olivia's daughters, Nell and Carly, are coming from two disastrously different romantic situations: Carly's longtime boyfriend has decided to skip the wedding altogether, and Nell, mourning the loss of her dead boyfriend, picks up her seatmate on the plane to attend the wedding with her.
Carly and Nell are not the only ones with secrets to keep. Emily and Sebastien, the owners of the B&B, are weathering a difficult time in their marriage, Brody's father has just left his mother after 55 years, and then there's wild card best man Jake, who seems harmless, but has his own hidden agenda.
Fans of romances with an edge and of Sussman's other novels, such as French Lessons or The Paradise Guest House, will find this novel a summer soap opera to read while waiting for the bridal party to have their photos taken and cocktail hour to begin.

Economic Development Sedalia-Pettis County and The Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) announced today that QC Supply, an international distributor of agricultural goods, will open a new distribution center in Sedalia. The Schuyler, Nebraska based company sells livestock equipment and supplies and provides installation of specific lines of products for livestock and poultry equipment. Mr. Lonnie Kitt is president of the company.
"We are so excited to be here in Sedalia, we've been working on this for well over a year, looked at various sites in Missouri, and Sedalia stood out in many ways," Kitt said. "A progressive community of agriculture that we could be involved with, and we were excited when we learned about Tyson's and the many opportunities (available), working with them a little closer and some of the other producers."
The expansion will include a capital investment of $1,120,000 and is expected to bring nine new full-time jobs at an average wage of $35,556 in addition to new Distribution Center Manager, Mr. James Sampson.
Founded in 1982, QC Supply, offers thousands of brand names and a wide variety of products for agriculture, poultry, livestock and commercial use, as well as hard-to-find products. QC Supply also has its own, patented line of clothing (Five Rock), fans (Durafan) and heaters (Scorpion). Customers return to QC for in-house technical support experts trained in a wide variety of products. These experts are able to answer technical questions, aid customers in product selection and support after the sale. This level of customer assistance is a primary differentiator from competitors.
"It started out as a catalogue business and expanded from there. We've made some acquisitions in the past few years, but our main revenue is derived from poultry and livestock equipment sales," Kitt said. "We employ about 150 people, and Sedalia is our eighth location." The only other QC Supply in Missouri is located in Nevada. "We will cater to some of the livestock and poultry producers here. Some of the projects will bring people into town from a 50- to 150-mile radius of Sedalia," he noted.
Opening a new distribution center in Sedalia will put QC Supply nearer to some of its major clients. The Sedalia facility, to be located at 2700 South Limit, (in the former Instrumental Influence building) is slated to open in mid-June. Instrumental Influence downsized to a smaller space in the Thompson Hills Shopping Center, it was reported.
EDSPC President Rusty Kahrs thanked the QC Supply reps for coming to Sedalia, adding that he was happy that the company found value in Sedalia, and pledged support from the corporation.
Sedalia Mayor Elaine Horn welcomed the QC Supply entourage to the State Fair City. "We are proud to have you here to able to show you how we can help you and grow and be a great addition to our community," she said. "We look forward to working with you."
Pettis County Presiding Commissioner John Meehan noted that at the root of the county's economic base is agriculture. "And you're going to compliment that," he told the QC Supply executives. "So thank you for choosing Pettis County."
To assist QC Supply with its expansion, the Department of Economic Development has authorized a strategic, performance based, economic incentive package that the company can receive if it meets strict job creation and investment criteria. Photos by Randy Kirby, Sedalia News Journal.

What Do Greeks Really Want? Meet the Voters of the Country's Extremist Parties
May 09, 2012
Athens, Greece—The big winners of Greece's election this week were parties far removed from the political center. From the leftist SYRIZA, which came in second place with 17 percent of the vote, to the far-right Independent Greeks, who ended up with 11 percent, and the racist extremists of Golden Dawn, who gained 7 percent, the non-mainstream parties received an alarmingly large share of the total vote. What's less clear, however, is what the vote tallies mean. Were they simply a reflection of anger against the ruling parties that have presided over the country's current economic freefall?
