Hospitality at its BEST
January 5, 2014
The cabin was just as expected. Beautiful landscape and environment to have a peaceful stay. Best of all, the owners had taken the time to make sure our stay was perfect. I will highly recommend this cabin for anyone wishing to relax for a few days. I will also make note that my family enjoyed it so much that we will be returning in the near future. Thank you so much Judy for your communication, hospitality, and help in giving my family a peaceful 3 day stay! ( 5 star )

Our family went to the cabin for my father's 82nd birthday. When Mom and Dad arrived they were greeted by the owner and her crew working to clean for our visit. The owner and friends were sooo kind to my parents and that meant so much. We could not have asked for more!!! From the wonderful, clean accommodations to the clear stream that tumbles effortlessly over the natural rocks, it was perfect. I thank them for the beautiful and tasty vegetables that we enjoyed from their wonderful garden on site. I would say that the three F's certainly apply here...family, fishing, fun! Do yourself a favor and take time out to enjoy nature and time well spent with family. I know we will again. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. The Rogers Family

What a great place!
June 24, 2009
I had read all the reviews and they were spot on! We loved this place and it's especially kid friendly! They do a great job making sure anyone can have a wonderful time! Our kids especially loved the creek (they were in it every single day) and the stock pond they have near by was great for fishing! Needless to say, we caught A LOT of fish! Make sure you bring your bug spray (although they even provide that). If your looking for a wonderful, relaxing vacation spot, with all the comforts of home, this is the place. We will certainly be back!! Thanks for the hospitality.

A peaceful retreat
June 16, 2009
I have to admit, I am hesitant to write this because I want to keep this place to myself. I have no complaints. The setting was beautiful and private. The sound of the water is everywhere on the property. The gardens were also really nice. Loved the strawberries. I only wish I could have experienced eating the tomatoes, figs, and other tasty treats when they were ripe, but that's up to Mother Nature. We did make use of some fresh herbs and ate on the screen in porch with pleasure to the sound of the creek. My friends couldn't believe I found this place online and I can't believe it was as nice as folks kept saying. The only thing I regret is not staying longer. Tasteful landscaping, beautiful location (seriously nice piece of property), a gate for security, competitive price, and a comfortable homey cabin made for the perfect stay in the woods. I plan on coming back.

great cabin!
May 29, 2009
I loved the cabin and all the amenities that were furnished to us as guests. From the nicely furnished kitchen to the soft, luxurious sheets, the owners thought of everything! As a city girl, I only wish I had known about the chigger bugs! They ate some of us alive and I'm still paying for it! But our overall experience was good.

My husband and I had a great time. As soon as we drove thru the wood gate, we knew we had made the right choice! The cabin and its surroundings were instantly calming. We will definitely visit again!

Peaceful Haven
October 7, 2008
Wildacre is the most peaceful and heavenly setting we have ever stayed...ever! It was a gorgeous setting and the cabin is adorable...filled with so many homey touches! Two baskets of goodies were waiting for us! One was filled with wine, cheese and crackers and grapes, and the other was filled with S'mores makings! The kids had so much fun playing in the creek and exploring. Judy left fresh flowers and a tub of mums and colorful pumpkins along the front steps! The gardens are so pretty...fairytale gardens, to be sure! The picnic tables, grills, campfire ring, and hammock near the bubbling creek were so enticing to all of us. Judy and Steve oviously love this place very much, and I am so happy to have discovered it. We will definitely be returning many times in the future! It was just what the doctor ordered!!

Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, it was all the website said and more. We take a girls' trip every year and have been looking for the one special place to go year after year--we found it at Wildacre. The creek is crystal clear, cool and refreshing. The cabin is well appointed and the welcome gift of wine and cheese was a most pleasant surprise. We can't wait until next year for our stay at Wildacre. Pam, Cindy, Donna, Brianna, Laura, Jennifer

heavenly peace
October 14, 2007
Our stay at wildacre was truly Heavenly Peace!It was our 2nd anniversary and I have to say it was the best.The minute we drove through the gate I knew that I had done good! You see you never no what your getting when you go online, but we were well pleased! We had all these plans to go see things but we didn't want to leave our little piece of heaven.Its hard to explain but there was such a sweet sweet spirit surrounding the place!We are already planning our next trip back.We would like to see it in all the different seasons! The welcome gift was a wonderful surprise,we thought that was really sweet.And we love the way the cabin was decorated,you could tell that it was a very special place to someone. Thanks for sharing it with us!! Debbie and Jerry Harrell
Dear Steve & Judy,
We can't believe our stay is nearly over. We have had such a good time. We have enjoyed the hammock, walking in the woods and along the creek.My husband has done well without the Internet (Ha, Ha).
We had everything we needed. My two favorite things were the floors and screened in porch. Well, there is a third thing - the floor of the shower. Oh, fourth thing - your blue themed dishes in the kitchen.
We would have loved to stay longer, and hope to come back in the future. While there are plenty of things to do in the area, we were anxious to get back to our little "sanctuary." You all must have a most wonderful house not to live in this "little bit of heaven."
Thank you for letting us visit,
Jimmie & Diana, Tennessee
Judy & Steve,
You're right! this place is a bit of heaven on earth. Gracie wants to know why we have to leave & can't just stay here forever. It seems you all have thought of everything & what gracious & talented hosts you are. We took pictures in the flower garden; Gracie has lived in the stream, played badminton; hiked the trails, made s'mores & roasted wienies! We have just taken it all in. What a desperately needed reprieve for an overworked pediatrician. We can't thank you enough for your hospitality. We are already planning our next trip & have a list of friends to share your secret with :).
God's blessing to you,
Lisa, Mike & Gracie
Wildacre is a little piece of heaven! We've never seen such a beautiful setting. Our girls had so much fun playing in the creek and woods. We had campfires every night and even cooked an entire supper over the fire one night! We love the perennial garden - I love all your unique pottery and artwork in the cabin. The beds are super comfy and soft! We can't wait to visit Wildacre again!

Third generation Texas Ranger Tyler Steele is the last of a dying breed - a modern-day cowboy hero living in a world that doesn't quite understand his powerful sense of right and wrong and instinct to defend those who can't defend themselves.
Despite his strong moral compass, Ty has trouble seeing his greatest weakness. His hard outer shell, the one essential to his work, made him incapable of forging the emotional connection his wife, Andie, so desperately needed.
Now retired, raising their son, Brodie, on his own, and at risk of losing his ranch, Ty does not know how to rebuild from the rubble of his life. The answer comes in the form of Samantha and her daughter, Hope, on the run from a seemingly inescapable situation. They are in danger, desperate, and alone. Though they are strangers, Ty knows he can help - protecting the innocent is what he does best. As his relationship with Sam and Hope unfolds, Ty realizes he must confront his true weaknesses if he wants to become the man he needs to be.

"A mans story, a love story?"
Everything that is good and right and the way it should be. This is a story written by a man that understands the mans code, metrosexuals might be confused by the ethic in this tome, or might be, probably be, enlightened by it. As men we often are told by women to "read this and you will understand me" we read it. Well as a man to a woman, I would say, "read this and you will understand me" and leave it at that. This is a well written story, by a man, that also is able to write about the feelings that make a man the way we often are, when a man is the right kind of stuff. The action is good, there is tension and suspense and there is a love story. A mans perspective kind of love story. I really liked this book, I did not know it would be what it was but am very glad I listened to it. A really good find one I would highly recommend.
"Love Charles Martin stories!!!!!"
I can't say enough about this story! Charles Martin has done it again!!!!! Another amazing story! I laughed, I cried, I felt like I was there..... I'll never look at a car on the side of the road w/out wondering "what is their story"? How could they change my life?
Charles Martin does his homework and can write a story as if he was living it personally. He knows all the history and background of his stories inside and out! A+++++ I can't wait for the next one!!!
"Outstanding! Listen, smile, laugh, cry, and learn."
Never read the printed version. It just couldn't be as good as the audio!
The lesson. We run out of hope at times. This book is a reminder of hope. Living is the hard part. Gather the courage to live and the hope of tomorrow. What a great writer! I need more of his books to read and remind me.
All of the characters were performed greatly. The mix of Daniel May and Luci Christian Bell made the story. I so enjoyed hearing Hope as a little girl then as an adult. But, it took both Mr. May and Ms. Bell to put the story on line. Greatly done.
Definitely, I did listen almost in one sitting. Even fell asleep listening.
This is a book I really needed to listen to and plan to listen to more of Charles Martin.
This is the classic struggle between good and evil and includes a John Wayne type character who, I believe, still exists in some places.
"Charles Martin, good listen!"
Classic Charles Martin, always a good story line.
Did a good job
Like the title
Worth the listen.
"Colorfully written and performed"
The performers were excellent in making clear which character was speaking. The emotions were evident and carried you with them.
When cowboy asked Andy to come home.
As above.
Hope, because she is aptly named.
Just like all of Charles Martin's books, you walk away feeling better about the world and God's grace. You are also well entertained during the process. I have only listened to his books but I just love them. Can't wait for the next one.
"great author! great book."
loved the little girls character & voice. Loved the sense of honor & compassion the story incorporates.
When the litlle girl whispers into his ear on his death bed.
Luci, I loved her voice & could really picture her face.
Good is mightier than evil
This is my 2nd Charles Martin book & it was just as wonderful as the last. Can't wait to get another!
"a very well wrote book"
I love how its taken from a serious issue and ends in a wonderful life..
Avid reader of inspirational fiction and faith-based self help. Memoir-style, 1st person pov is ideal. Favs include C. Martin & L. Wingate!
"Good story"
I'm true fan of Charles Martin's work. This piece is a bit different from most of his novels. But well worth it.
The narration is good; however, as a native Texan, I believe there would have been greater authenticity if important names like Brazos and Hereford were pronounced as Texans do... not according to a dictionary pronunciation

Europe — Economic Sentiment Indicator on the up after July's surge
31 August 2010
The Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI), published by the European Commission, continued to improve in both the entire European Union (EU) and the Euro area in August 2010 after the surge in July, albeit at a slower pace.
It rose to 102.7 (up by +0.6 of a point) in the EU and to 101.8 (up by +0.7 of a point) in the Euro area. In both the EU and the Euro area the ESI is above its long-term average of 100.
Among the largest Member States, the UK registered the most significant gain (+1.5), followed by Germany (+1.1) which remains in the lead. Improvements were less pronounced in Spain (+0.9) and in France (+0.4). In contrast, sentiment deteriorated in Italy (-0.9), Poland (-0.9) and even more so in the Netherlands (-2.1).
Sentiment in industry improved (by +1 point) in the EU and remained broadly unchanged in the Euro area. The majority of respondents in this sector reported sizeable improvements in their order books. However, managers were cautious regarding their production expectations.
Confidence among consumers improved markedly (+3) in both the EU and the Euro area. Widely-felt optimism about the general economic situation as well as further considerable easing of unemployment fears set the tone. The confidence indicator in services decreased by -1 point in the EU and improved by +1 point in the Euro area. Managers' pessimistic assessment of the past business situation in the UK explains the difference in trends between the two areas. Sentiment in the retail sector gained +1 point in the EU and remained broadly unchanged in the Euro area. The sentiment indicator in construction remained broadly unchanged in both regions.
After a sharp drop in July, confidence in financial services (not included in the ESI) registered a significant increase in the EU (+7) due to a substantially brighter future demand outlook. In the Euro area the confidence indicator remained broadly unchanged, after having improved in July.

Selecting Media Venues
Here is a method on how to select media venues to distribute content.
Since we brought Michelle home, she has proven to be a high octane dog who needs some running time. Being the first one up at the Livingston household, I am often chaperone her to the local dog park. I see some amazing parallels at the dog park to the good and bad of online social networks. My dog park consists of about 250 people. Everyone says hi to each other, and we learn a little about each other's lives. I often smoke a cigar in a corner and blog, or work on my iPad. This used to be my writing time, and I don't want to give that up. As a result, I tend to a bit more of an […]
Can you name this song…? vine.co/v/bJjdTLBnwx1 — Paul McCartney (@PaulMcCartney) January 29, 2013 There's much ado about Vine these days. In addition to the usual porn issues, most of the controversy surrounds the video network's six second format. Like it or not, the six second format is ideal for bandwidth constrained 4G powered devices. Marketers are already experimenting with the weeks old social network bolt-on. But to me, it's too early for that conversation. What's fascinating is the medium itself and how it fits into the larger social context. First, consider that Vine is the video short equivalent of Instagram. Load time is critical for a long stream of videos, especially given it's mostly viewed on devices leveraging wireless carrier […]
It's funny how people want LinkedIn to become yet another social network to hang out with their buddies. Ironic, because LinkedIn dubs itself "the world's largest professional network." LinkedIn means business networking and conversations to me. The network itself offers about as much excitement as a stale piece of Wonder Bread. Now that Twitter decoupled its stream from LinkedIn, things have become even more boring.
In the era of niche social networks we are left with many choices for tools and conversations. A recent discussion on Ken Mueller's blog about the creep factor online caused me to reflect on parsing social networks for professional success and personal enjoyment.
Perhaps you saw the epic war of words last week between Twitter and Google. The conflict revolves around Google's inclusion of Plus activity into its search algorithm. Called "Search Plus Your World," this addition of the Google+ data has far ranging implications for online marketers. It dramatically increases the value of Google+ activity in comparison to its primary competitors Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr and, of course, Facebook. Consider how prominent this change is. In the above screen capture, personalized results are featured right above the top search result for "crux." Also one of my Google+ posts is featured as the third result. Search Plus impacts both traditional search marketing and social media. First of all, Google still dominates search with roughly […]

You need to look at all of the elements. Even little things can add interest to your design, and can make the space feel more like it is "yours." For example, instead of changing your decor on a large scale, like replacing your floor or purchasing new furniture, you can change fixtures, cabinet hardware and window treatment to project a unified theme.
If you have children, make sure that you add slip covers to rooms to be child friendly. Slipcovers provide you with variety, while keeping your furniture away from pets and children. Swap out slipcovers seasonally or whenever you want a new look. You are now armed with tips that can help you make your home a more enjoyable place to live. Interior design doesn't have to be difficult. By using the advice you've read here, you are well on your way. When it comes to interior design, even the basement is fair game. This area of a home is usually the darkest and gloomiest. Go ahead and give your basement a better look with brighter colors and by adding in a mirror or two.
A lot of people have smaller rooms that are begging to seem larger. Using light colors can help make any space appear larger. Dark colors will make a small room appear smaller than it normally is.

Moreno represents Chivas USA in Copa América
CARSON, Calif. (Tuesday, July 5, 2011) - A day after Chivas USA's 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire last weekend, one of The Red-and-White's most important veterans was a few thousand miles away, taking part in another draw, a historic result for his country.
Venezuelan forward Alejandro Moreno has been on international duty with his country for the past few weeks, taking part in preparations for the Copa América tournament in Argentina. On Sunday, the Venezuelans played their first Group B game in the tournament, and got a great result as they held Brazil to a 0-0 draw.
Moreno, the only MLS representative in Copa América this year, took part in the match's final 25 minutes after appearing as a substitute. His influence was felt immediately. TV cameras caught him yelling encouragements and directions to his teammates from the moment he stepped on to the pitch.
It's a veteran presence that The Red-and-White have missed recently, according to head coach Robin Fraser.
"I think Alejandro is one of the leaders of our team," said Fraser. "Certainly as we navigate this rough patch of a couple losses and ties I think his leadership is missed greatly. He's the type of personality that I think is critical for our success going forward."
While Chivas USA surely wouldn't mind having Moreno back, both on the field and in the locker room, it's exciting to see him playing and representing The Red-and-White in such a prestigious tournament.
"I think it's tremendous that Alejandro is in Copa América," said Fraser. "You wish your players well, and you hope that they get to play in extremely prestigious venues and places, and then obviously to get to play against Brazil in a very meaningful game is always a good thing. For us it's a source of pride, because he's a very good player for us and it's good to see him achieve that sort of notoriety. To get a call up to your national team is always a prestigious thing, and to play in a tournament like Copa América is phenomenal. We're happy for him."
Venezuela's next match is Saturday July 9th against Ecuador. Moreno and La Vinotinto will round out group play on Wednesday July 13th against Paraguay.

One of those very VERY good tasting dishes that doesn't taste as healthy as it actually is! :) Just be careful with the onions. I used 1/2 of a large onion and it gets a bit overpowering... next time I'd use a smaller one or cut it down to 1/3.
FNPathome 8 Sep, 2010
Loved this dish! I will definitely be using this recipe many more times. I just used the rice that I had on hand - beautiful and yummy.
magdareichenberg 15 Jan, 2009
you can't go wrong with this salad ... delicious always a hit. I prepared twice as the recipe. The 3rd time I did not have rice I substituted the rice with burgul#4 (can be purchased from Middle Eastern stores)....
ktandan101 19 Dec, 2008
This salad is amazing. You can cut down the quantity for two people if you simply remember the wild rice to brown rice ratio = 1:2. So for every one amt of wild race you take, double the quantity of brown rice.

Seasteading: The TV Show

It would be fabulous to have a drama on TV/Webcast that shows what daily life would be like on a seastead!
In my vision there would be a cast, like "Friends" that lives together on a gigantic floating island (10km by 6km). The show would follow them through their daily lives and document some of the challenges they face and the joys of life they experience on this massive floating city. Of course, the show would be fictional, and some of the technology may be fictional as well. But it would not be like total science fiction, such as Star Trek. It would be 'hard science fiction' like the Culture novels by Iain M. Banks.
A television show could popularize the concept of seasteading, much like the short web videos and interviews involving The Seasteading Institute have brought so much attention already. Is it possible that, as a community, seasteaders could write and produce such a show? If not a show, than how about some 15+ minute videos providing a short introduction to individual ideas and concepts?July 30, 2011 at 1:28 am #14432
A reality tv show, "Shreddy's La La Land". It can feature eductional segments like "How to roll a perfect blunt", "The cocaine diet – three lines a day, keep the fat away" and " 'Shrooming on a budget"July 30, 2011 at 1:31 am #14433

okay, thank you sir. actually that could possibly be one such video. i wouldnt want it to be the first one released, but certainly we could detail some of the new freedoms that seasteading could provide.
nice work ocean!
"Leadership and do-ership are not the same thing"July 30, 2011 at 2:13 pm #14443
What I would like to see, is someone get a production studio to come off the hip with some money to build one of these things that could hold a crew of 8-10. Then, put 8-10 people on it and run a reality show. And the volunteers would take it from "just built and victualling", to starting it's migratory path in the North Atlantic or North Pacific Gyre (but not limited to just those two) to "fully running". It would showcase some of the things you can do on a seastead, like aquaculture. It would give them something to do while they are there.
And the seastead I'm talking about building would be of the "single family" sort, not some huge floating island. What's more, perhaps the show could be run by the Seasteading Institute to gain publicity. They have the $500,000 donated to them. If they were to go ahead and build one single family seastead and use it as a PR machine, then it would show people that this lifestyle is achievable.
On the business side, you link up with an aquaculture company like Open Blue Sea Farms to provide the knowhow, and possibly an initial farm for them to work. This would give open ocean aquaculture a little publicity as well.
I'm sure there's plenty other ideas that I haven't thought up. But if the Seasteading Institute were to start with this, then move on from there, they would be able to have a proof of concept for a seastead, and actually show it in action via their TV show or webcast.July 31, 2011 at 6:33 am #14460
Shadowmane, I like that idea, but the family-size seastead I have in mind, along with multi-trophic integrated aquaculture would need things like minisubs with arms,, diving equipment and such… Not cheap, to say the least, even if built my way…
Never be afraid to try something new…
Remember, amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic.July 31, 2011 at 6:41 pm #14471
Well, I'm more of the sustainability type. You build a spar, or multi-spar platform that would follow the gyre in such a migratory path that you always have fairly mild weather. Or, you build that submarine seastead. Either way, the idea is to showcase how the whole system can be affordable, and doable by the average Joe. If you have 8-10 average Joes on there living a sustainable lifestyle (with a greenhouse on top, as well as windmills and solar cells), it will show the appeal of becoming a sort of sea farmer.
You see, my idea is to start small, with sea farms in the beginning, and build to a city from there. A TV show showcasing this idea, and building towards developing a community (each successive season can add another seastead to the picture, eventually developing a seastead village) would show the feasibility of doing this. You see, the wealthy guys who started this whole thing think big. Practical people like me, with an anual salary of $28,000, think of affordable ways to do this without mortgaging your whole life away. Your going to want to start a kind of family farm and become sea nomads in the beginning.

New Kindle Fires have ads on home screen, lock screen
updated 08:49 pm EDT, Thu September 6, 2012
Amazon opts for ad-supported model for new Kindle Fire range
All of Amazon's new Kindle Fire tablets will include lockscreens with ads, the company has now revealed. Owners of the new Kindle Fire, the Kindle Fire HD 7-inch and the Kindle Fire HD 8.9-inch tablets will be the recipients of special offers and sponsored lock screens. According to Amazon, the ads will also appear on the lower left hand corner of the home screen at all times, with no apparent way to opt out of the service.
Amazon says examples of the ads will include promos for movies, music, books, digital content and deals on consumer electronics products. Other offers will include the chance to get a $5 credit to use in the Amazon MP3 Store. Previously, only Amazon's cheapest Kindle e-reader had the function built into its lockscreen.
Amazon has adopted an aggressive pricing strategy that started with the original Kindle Fire, which was reportedly sold by Amazon at a loss. Amazon's model has been to drive customers to heavily fork the device's Android OS and drive customers to purchase content from its online store to make up for the cost recovery shortfall. Its most recent financial results showed that pricing the original Kindle Fire below cost negatively impacted the company's overall profitability in the short term.
The inclusion of an ad-supported model appears to be a natural extension of that approach -- the new Kindle Fire is priced at just $159 despite a raft of hardware upgrades. While savvy users may choose to root the device to install a custom ROM as a workaround if possible, the average customer may find the devices less appealing if they are constantly forced to view ads, low entry-price notwithstanding.

City Hits the Road to Make Sure The Message is Clear
(West Palm Beach, FL) – West Palm Beach is putting on a full-court press to ensure anyone deciding the fate of the Florida State University Digital Media program understands that taking the program out of West Palm Beach will sacrifice jobs, economic opportunity, and put an end to the creation of a new industry cluster in the state of Florida.
Following media reports of a meeting held earlier in the week, city officials confirmed that Tuesday a delegation from the city traveled to Naples, Florida to meet with Ed Morton. Morton is one of three Florida Board of Governors members examining the FSU program.
The delegation included West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio, Executive Director of the West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Kim Briesemeister, and West Palm Beach City Attorney Claudia McKenna.
"We've invested in this program. We know the impact it will have on Florida's economy. We remain prepared to continue to invest in it. With Digital Domain out of the way and our land back in our hands, we have been moving ahead. There are several companies that have clearly said they want to be a part of the industry cluster we are building," said West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio.
"This program means jobs and economic opportunity for Florida. The opportunity to create an entirely new industry cluster in the state should be encouraged, and we want to make sure anyone weighing the fate of the FSU program understands what is at stake," added Muoio.
Mayor Muoio and other city leaders have been contacting several other members of the Florida Board of Governors, as well as Governor Rick Scott. The city is planning on sending a delegation to Tallahassee next week to meet with several individuals. Members of the Board of Governors are also scheduled to meet next Friday in Orlando to discuss the FSU program.
"We will go to all four corners of the state if we have to," said Muoio. "I intend to fight to keep the jobs here in Florida. I intend to fight to keep the program."

Worst Attempt at Selling Out Ever Made?
I'm going to have to find a more lucrative way to sell out.

I guess that people find the fact that you just changed your mind philosophically just too far fetched. LOLReplyDelete
Seriously, I do question my own beliefs all of the time. There are some things that I haven't found the definitive answer to, while others I've solved in my own way. I am never opposed to changing my own opinion, I've done it many times in the past and will probably do it many more in the future. That is what thinking people do, they change their mind when shown what they think to be a better solution. I certainly wasn't always a libertarian, and there is no guarantee that I always will be.
If I only made friends with those that thought the way I think, I would be a very lonely person. As it is, I have many friends that I never agree with. LOL
They also ridiculed you for not having a job.ReplyDelete
I know! The probability of you getting money for your sell-out was zero, but not impossible.
I don't know. I think you have a bank account somewhere in the Carribean, receiving monthly paychecks from a top secret government bureau designed only to pay academics to support the state.ReplyDelete
Pfft. You don't fool us, gubmint-lovin' backstabber! Everyone knows the dividends of such treachery are only evident after the quenching of the ancap revolution, when the Oceanian state rewards you with a comfy cubicle in the Ministry of Truth. And what is Java, anyway, if not some modern variant of Newspeak?ReplyDelete

We owe it to North Carolina's youth to provide them with every opportunity to keep their lives on the right track.
It's not only the right thing to do for the kids, but it's also the smart thing to do for our state. After all, these young people will either grow up to be responsible, tax-paying citizens or burdens in an over-crowded prison system.
That's why our state has decided to fund hundreds of locally-based programs and services, like mentoring and peer support, to help North Carolina's young people to grow up to be responsible adults and leaders.
Unfortunately, legislators are considering large cuts to the collection of state agencies and services that fund community intervention programs for youth – Medicaid, Mental Health and Juvenile Justice.
Let's do the right thing for our kids by continuing this investment in our future.

Greatest Show!,
|reviewer: Joy from Carmel, IN USA
|This is my forth time to see this show. I've never get bored no matter how many times I see it. Rather, each time, I got more excited, and can't stop that my heart is pounding. I sing and cry with them. This show is extremely intensive, powerful, and beautiful. It gives me strength and enjoyment. The end of the first act, ending with 'One Day More', all the audience take a breath and say just "Wow..." And we all are naturally invited to the second act. Three hours length feels very short because of its depth and quality. Every single cast is very professional and performs enthusiastically. In the end, we all stand up and give a thunder of applause to the company. We don't want you to end! Please come back to Indianapolis again soon... this is my only wish! Thank you for giving us the wonderful and memorable night...

Former Rangers lenders suing Tom Hicks
According to our Gary Jacobson, who is currently reviewing paperwork from a lawsuit filed this morning in Dallas, those that lent money to the Rangers during Hicks' ownership claim he ignored his fiduciary obligations while working on real estate projects.
(To clarify: Initial reports that current ownership was suing Hicks were incorrect. Rangers Baseball Express is not involved in this suit. This is not a Nolan Ryan-Tom Hicks showdown)
From the story, which is developing:
A year after the Texas Rangers emerged from bankruptcy court with new owners, former owner Tom Hicks' old team – the bankrupt entity – is suing him, alleging that he enriched himself at the expense of the club.
The complaint, filed Monday in district court in Dallas, centers on Ballpark Real Estate, L.P., a Hicks-owned company that controls parking lots around Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, serving both the Rangers and events at nearby Cowboys Stadium.
Hicks ignored his fiduciary obligations to the Rangers from the beginning of his ownership in 1998, the complaint states, "and embarked on a scheme to build a real estate empire on the backs of the Texas Rangers' players and creditors and fans of the team."
Monday, a spokesman for Hicks said he would have no have no response at this time.
The complaint states that Hicks used more than $30 million from the Rangers to pay for land and build parking lots and other infrastructure for BRE. The team and the real estate company "do not share any of the same direct or indirect corporate owners," according to the complaint.
