Berkeley's strategy has been developed for a cyclical market. Residential development is not about individual reporting periods. It is about creating value over the long-term and this requires financial discipline and balance sheet strength. Berkeley acquires land differently to others. The primary focus is on adding value through its development expertise, for which we have an excellent record.
Above all else, enhancing property value is about having time. This is afforded to Berkeley by its strategy of taking low financial risk through a combination of matching production to demand, selling forward and only gearing when there is sufficient visibility of future cash flow.

For Orgasm Fairy Cammie Witherspoon, frustration is a way of life. She helps people deal with their sexual frustration every day, but nothing and no one can help ease her own. You see, Orgasm Fairies can't orgasm. It's part of their curse.

Boy oh boy, is she in for a wicked good surprise.

An unlikely group of 43 investors just closed a $22.5 million deal to sell property Christ Hospital now uses for administrative functions to a Chicago-based real estate investment fund.
- Filed Under
Albert Smitherman is shaking up the local commercial real estate investment business - testing the power of grass-roots community influence to create wealth.
He helped organize a group of 43 investors - many of them black, female, middle-income or complete novices to real estate investing - to participate in a deal that led to a $22.5 million sale of a building now largely occupied by Christ Hospital.
The unlikely investors won't say how much they earned as a result, but Smitherman said at least one person was able to significantly accelerate retirement plans. ...

It's a horrible idea as far as sound quality goes.
Those speakers aren't designed to fill a space the size of an audio interior.
You're better off buying a $100 headunit that has AUX-in.
Hi, My Project, Teh Van, is on ultra low budget. Fortunatly for me, I am changing my Logitech Z640 speakers for another one soon, so i was thinking about using them on the van, as I know I will listen music watch movies in it. Is it a bad idea to put Computers Speakers in a van? The idea is more saving money, but will they draw much power then car-maded speakers? My 5.1 speakers is only 100w (by a website) and I am thinking buying a 800w inverter.
Just wanna know you guys opignons plz

Why not? You wouldn't be the first to have more value in audio hardware than the value of the vehicle.
Realistcally, you can spend as little as a couple hundred on an audio setup and have decent sound. It's certainly not going to win any audio competitions or anything, but it will keep you rockin' on down the road.

To "know rather than believing or wishing, not being afraid to examine anything and everything, including one's own personal agenda is how one can truly believe in the Buddhist way. In the movie Little Buddha, two characters struggle to find meaning in their life and embark on a journey towards a new way, the middle way. In order to comprehend any given message one must examine and see firsthand. Siddhartha and Dean realized they had to embark on an individual journey in order to fully understand and feel a concept come alive. Only when they are able to see what is true, can then begin to genuinely understand anything. Until then, they have to suspend judgment and criticism and just observe. Dean and Siddhartha had to accomplish similar obstacles on their journey, to put aside preference in order to obtain an open mind, in order for them to have "awareness". Siddhartha experienced helplessness similar to Dean through demonstrating over devotion on their first journey in the search of meaning. In order to find the right "middle path and overcome their self-contained ways, they had to experience helplessness.
To live life through stories is not enough, one must take a journey to expose the self to diversity and begin the path towards the middle way. In the beginning of the movie, the importance of Jesse's important day seemed void to his father, Dean Conrad. His father held a negative view towards the Buddhist priests and their intrusion in his home. His concerns were devoted to his own worries and his friend's fear of bankruptcy. His hindered views affected his sons' ability to experience another way of life, a "myth as Dean said. In parallel to Jesse, Siddhartha is prisoner to his dad's narcissistic views, unable to view the world outside his familiar city walls. You can see in the next scene that Jesse's father as well as Sidd

This year, the luxurious Aussie label Banjo & Matilda have set up their own Christmas themed pop-up shop on William St, right in the heart of Paddington. In celebration of their store, they've introduced a new Christmas colour palette just in time for the festivities. I can already imagine my entire family wearing matching Ruby Red Surfer Knit Cable Sweaters. Cheesy, yes, but you have to admit that it's kind of cute. The store happens to be filled with a selection of presents that make buying for "someone with everything" a lot easier; think travel pillows, eye masks and cashmere blankets. Oh and let's not forget the free gift wrapping, yes you read that correctly, free!

Small Business Program
CFL Bulb Recycling
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) help conserve natural resources like coal and gas by using far less electricity than common incandescent bulbs. CFLs last longer, too. Unfortunately, some good things do end and your CFL will eventually burn out.
All compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), including ENERGY STAR® qualified bulbs, contain a small amount of mercury. Yet they are safe to use. They do not emit mercury when they are intact, in use, properly stored, handled, and/or installed. Because CFLs do contain a small amount of mercury, the bulbs should be recycled properly and not thrown in the trash. By recycling the bulbs, you are helping prevent the release of mercury into the environment. Plus, almost all components of the bulbs can be reused.
Stoughton Utilities has an easy way for you responsibly dispose of your dark CFLs, so don't throw them in the trash can! You can take your old CFL bulbs to Asleson's True Value or Stoughton Lumber - Ace Hardware and Stoughton Utilities will collect these old CFLs for free and see that they are properly recycled. This collection program is funded by our Commitment to Community program. While you're there, don't forget to purchase a replacement ENERGY STAR® CFL bulb!
And when outside of Stoughton, Focus on Energy has made it easy for you by partnering with nearly 400 retailers across the state to offer
free CFL recycling
. Simply bring in your expired, unbroken CFLs to a participating retailer near you.

Emerging Technology Incentives
Focus on Energy works with developers and businesses to accelerate the deployment and commercialization of
new energy-saving and renewable energy technologies in Wisconsin
. Businesses in Wisconsin are saving millions of dollars a year in energy costs by adopting emerging technologies with Focus on Energy's help and at the same time making great strides to protect the environment.
An Emerging Technology differs from best practice energy saving technology in that it is relatively new to Wisconsin. Energy saving technologies with proven implementations in Wisconsin are generally considered best practices. But an Emerging Technology is a product that has been fully developed and tested, from which the use will significantly reduce the consumption of energy in a commercial or industrial setting, yet has seen limited implementation in Wisconsin. For assistance with implementation or incentives for best practice energy saving technology visit

Energy Efficient LED Exit Signs
Stoughton Utilities is offering its customers an opportunity to purchase new, efficient LED exit signs for only $8.00 each. The reduced price on these signs is made possible through our Commitment to Community energy conservation program.

ENERGY STAR® Lighting
Lighting accounts for about 20% of annual household electricity bills, or approximately $200 per year. The higher the bulb wattage you use, the more electricity that's needed to make it burn bright and more electricity used means higher energy costs for you. You can save money by switching to energy-efficient lighting. Generally, the most energy-efficient types of home lighting are CFLs and LEDs. Both provide high-quality light, use less energy, and last longer than standard bulbs. By using less energy, efficient lighting reduces pollution and is better for the environment.
Focus on Energy's
ENERGY STAR® Lighting Program
can help you save money and lower energy consumption. Focus on Energy is partnering with retailers around Wisconsin to offer instant discounts or coupons on ENERGY STAR® qualified lighting products at participating retailers for select lighting products, while supplies last.
Recycle Your Burned out CFLs
All compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), including ENERGY STAR® qualified bulbs, contain a small amount of mercury. Yet they are safe to use. They do not emit mercury when they are intact, in use, properly stored, handled, and/or installed. Because CFLs do contain a small amount of mercury, the bulbs should be recycled properly and not thrown in the trash.

The introduction of UK Coach Calipari is the moment UK fans have been waiting for over the past few days.
You could feel the excitement in the air in Lexington as the the big blue faithful watched Calipari make his first comments to his new basketball home.
The new coach is already catering to fans. He stopped outside Memorial Coliseum after the press conference on Wednesday to sign autographs.
Many UK students, who weren't lucky enough to meet the new coach, had to settle with watching his remarks on TV.
Students gathered in the student center to hear from Coach Calipari, many of them decked out in t-shirts featuring the new coach.
And of course, Lexington isn't the only place where fans are buzzing about the new hire. People from Paducah to Perry County wanted to hear about Calipari's plans for the future.

Known as the God's Own Country, Kerala is a blessed land with all the natural beauties. The serene backwaters, calm beaches, hill stations, house boats, wild life, temples, culture and traditions, ayurvedic therapies, greenery, monsoon all these factors make Kerala distinct from any other land in India. The backwater tourism has emerged as one of the popular tourist activity in Kerala. The hill stations like Munnar and Wayanad are alluring.
Farm Tourism In Kerala is an integral part of Eco Tourism but there is a slight difference. While artificially created landscapes are part of Eco Tourism - gardens, pond etc - the goal of Farm Tourism is to show the curious tourist about Nature in her pristine purity. Kerala Farm Tourism preserves the environment. Chemical Farming is also prohibited, as no processes which damage Nature is allowed. Organic Farming and its development give tremendous impetus to Farm Tourism Kerala.
The tourists who come to Kerala expects to see the real beauty that lies in the rural part of the state. They have read About Kerala as true traditional and cultural state with families based in love. But they don't get the opportunity to experience the village life and to live within that atmosphere. Most tourists come from cultures which does not give much importance to family attachments & village or Rural Life. In villages people live in harmony with nature which is otherwise not possible in big cities where people are always business minded.
You get fresh air & fresh water in villages in contrast to polluted air and polluted water in cities. The Government has decided to allow 5 percent of the total farm are for tourism purposes. Government is to implement projects to set up farms and plantations to encourage the farm tourism, This is a positive sign of the development of farm tourism in Kerala.

1. I am NOT obsessed.
2. I blame my stepson for giving me a Kakiri.
3. I am still trying to decide what to buy next.
I am not an addict, I don't attend any KAA (Kife addicts anonymous) meetings.
They're quieter than guns.
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - Lawrence
I got over my knife fetishism early on (thank God), and now I focus on my knife skills.
I appreciate well made knifes, but I'm far from obsessed.
I've like quality knives since I was a kid and caught lots of fish and of course a sharp knife makes all the difference when filleting fish. So since I've been more involved in the kitchen lately and enjoying cooking again I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade my kitchen knives and luckily I found this forum with all you experts of the trade. I've only purchased a dozen or so knives since I joined the forum lol. Its truly addicting.
Started when I was a kid too then I bought my Randall Model 1 field knife in 1973 and a Ralph Bone skinning knife in 1974. I'm a fabricator I like hand made things.
I am in no way obsessed or an addict. I've only just passed the 450 mark. I'm thinking that if it reaches 1000 then I can diagnosed to be a bit of an obsessed addict of sharp pointy things... That is all
Just because they make it in your size doesn't mean you should wear it...
I've always loved knives (and pretty much every other bladed object) since I was little. This was probably enhanced by the fact that my mom was very anti-knife. So not only were they inherently awesome but they were also forbidden fruit. The obsession has been set free now, though is still kept in check by financial constraints. Once that suitcase full of money comes along though....
- Erik
Having a knife fetish helps me justify home cooking more often. I live in a place where convenient food is everywhere, pretty good, and pretty cheap. I never need to cook, and shopping for ingredients and deciding recipes is something I'm not always motivated to do, so the knife hobby helps keep me interested.
For me it started in quite a backwards way . I spent the first few years of my career with pretty dodgy knives and terrible knife skills in hindsight, mainly due to a lack of guidance... But then I got into a great restaurant with some real bad ass chefs who really drove home how little I knew, I think that's when it started, realising my skills were lacking and getting obsessive to improve myself... Now I'm in a more senior position and I can help/guide/teach people and I want to teach them the right way, there is a real lack of care I think by some chefs when it comes to teaching the next generation, I don't want to contribute to that. So in essence I'm obsessive so I can teach others better.... And obviously there are more selfish reasons... They are tools we use all day everyday I sure want ones that I love, loving your knives makes prep so much more fun, we fight over chopping buckets of onions at work because we all love using our knives at peak performance to smash out prep
The real problem is I have no money to fund the obsession! An ironic situation for sure.

Lady With 24-Inch Fingernails Explains How She Wipes Her Butt
Last night's episode of My Strange Addiction featured Jazz, a woman who has been growing out her 24-inch nails for 22 years.

Juanita Beach Park, Kirkland
Benefitting the
Hope Heart Institute
Race Day
Course Map
Kids Dash
Hope Heart
Welcome to the new and improved Eastside Subaru Mother's Day Half Marathon & 5K!
After more than 10 years of being recognized as one of the hilliest and most challenging half marathons in the Northwest, we are excited to announce that this year's half marathon route will be significantly flatter. Turning the event into a point-to-point route that utilizes the flat Kirkland waterfront and the new (and very scenic) Cross Kirkland Corridor trail, our half marathon will now compete as being one of the fastest, if not the fastest half marathon in the region.
The half marathon event will start at Northwest University at 7:30am while the 5K will start at Juanita Beach Park at 8:00am. Both events will finish at Juanita Beach Park.
As the below course route shows, the new start line for the event is at 327 feet above sea level, with the finish line at Juanita Beach Park sitting at 35 feet above sea level. That's more than 290 feet of downhill running that should support a possible PR!
Click here for a larger view
Along with a screaming fast route, the half marathon also provides one of the most scenic routes around including more than 5.5 miles on the new Cross Kirkland Corridor trail, two miles along the Kirkland waterfront, Marina Park and a flat approachable finish through Juanita Bay Park and the wooden boardwalk.
All half marathon participants will receive a gender specific technical fabric shirt and a high quality finisher medal. Participants in the family friendly 5K run/walk will receive a cotton t-shirt and a scenic tour on the route that goes through Juanita Bay Park. Everyone in attendance will then be treated to the finish line festival on the grass in Juanita Beach Park that will have 25+ exhibitor booths, the free PCC Healthy Kids Kirkland Kids Dash and the awards ceremony. Those 21 & over can celebrate their accomplishment in the onsite wine, mimosa & beer garden.
This year's Eastside Subaru Mother's Day Half Marathon & 5K event provides an excellent healthy, community-minded way to celebrate Mother's Day. If you're a mom who runs or walks or you have family members who do, join us this Mother's Day as we all celebrate together!

Kauai Fern Grotto
After all of my times visiting Kauai, I still hadn't been on Smith's Fern Grotto River Tour. So with the morning free, we paid the kamaaina price and got on board!
It was a nice sunny day and we had an informative guide driving us up the Wailua River.
Apparently there were many more ferns prior to Hurricane Iniki. I still think it's pretty though while it is recovering…

Living Grace Christian School Reviews
Champions for God is what we are!!
My kids go to Living Grace and I am So happy I made the choice to invest in their life and their education!! The School is not for everyone it is for Loving, caring people and for The ones who are interested in having their kids have GOD as their Priority. Our Kids are not only Great students but Champions for GOD and Dr Switzer and His Family are really tru God lovers, No better Place for my Kids to BE!!
A Great School
Living Grace Christian school is an amazing experience. We may be small, but we have the chance to learn about God -- something public schools do not have. Also, we have wonderful teachers, who love the Lord and the children. I am so grateful to be a part of this school!
Good School
Ok, I love this school. It raises up champions for God. It may have little space, but out of it will come Davids and Moses'. I should know that the place is full of the spirit of God. So give your child the chance. Place your child at Living Grace Christian School.
This is a small school with an advanced education system giving the teachers and students a better one on one experience throughout. The principal and teachers are great as well as there moral standards. I highly recommend this school for any parent looking to enrich the lives of their children through an great, Christian learning environment.
If you are looking for a small, growing, multi-cultural school that challenges students to be of high moral character, self-controlled, and doing their best to accomplish high educational standards, you will find it here. The classrooms are small but the childern and teachers are engaged. Parents that love the school are well informed, loving and stay involved in their child's education.
VERY DISAPPOINTED, starting with the principal/teacher. They show no loving and caring for the kids. PARENTS BE AWARE!!! The school is very small and rooms are EXTREMELY small. The point is that you should never send your kids to this school. Please take this advice. ( actually rated no stars)

While it may seem like there's plenty of time on the calendar to get your holiday act together, the clock is ticking. Creating the foundation of your holiday plan now will position you for success this holiday season!
Can you believe there are only 200 days left until Christmas? On the one hand, that sounds like a long way off, but if you're a retail marketer, the time to start planning is now. Well, more like yesterday; but if you haven't started, no need to panic - yet! After the gifts have been shipped, wrapped, and opened, we can look back and spot the obvious mistakes we made and things we could have done differently to help sales soar higher than Rudolph. Start Holiday 2013 off right by beginning your planning now with three meetings that should be on your calendar this month.
"I don't have enough resources to________" is one of the most frequently recited reasons, dare I say excuses, for many brands to not enhance and evolve their email marketing programs to apply lessons learned from the previous holiday season that can improve performance for the coming year. The truth is that you have extended teams with your partners like your email service provider and e-commerce platform provider. Just like you, your marketing and e-commerce platform partners get incredibly busy during the holidays. They also go into code freeze and many of the ways they can help you enhance your program and drive additional sales will take time. Your first thought may be, "time and money," but the truth is your marketing and commerce partners likely have tools, strategies, and tactics to enhance your holiday marketing programs, streamline processes, and provide a better customer experience with little or no cost. Now is the time to put your heads together, ask them for ideas, and bring a few of your own.
Review automated processes like triggered messages (abandoned cart reminders, order/ship confirmations, welcome series, etc.), and determine how they could be more effective and how they should change during the holidays. Remember, your customers will begin to shift from shopping for themselves to shopping for others as the holiday season approaches, so it's important for the tone of these messages to reflect that shift.
Internal Team Development
Everyone on your team will have their day-to-day jobs amplified during the holiday season, but the holidays also require going outside of those daily roles to keep holiday campaigns rolling along. Anticipating these situations now and preparing the team will help make crisis situations more manageable. Build an emergency contact list (including your internal team and external partners) that details roles (IT, analysis, deliverability) and when they should be contacted (technical issue, design issue, poor performance). Define roles for aggregating reports across your email service provider and e-commerce platforms. Do dress rehearsals to ensure processes are efficient and productive. Tweaking the processes now will help you get the marketing, sales, and ROI data insights you need in a timely fashion. A subject line team can be essential. Course-correcting low open rates on your jam-packed marketing calendar can be a stressful situation. Having a team in place closely monitoring both pre- and in-season subject line performance will help you achieve optimal results.
Holiday season (not tax season) auditors are essential. You need to go into the holiday season with a complete understanding of last year and with every "i" dotted. Compile performance reports for last year on a campaign level focusing on key holiday periods including Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the lead-up to Christmas. Identify sales trends, peaks, and valleys. Develop plans to combat those low periods and build on the successes. This may sound like a chore or you may be thinking, "I already know how we did last year," but there's always something to learn.
Additionally, audit all of your forms and your checkout processes. Remove extraneous data fields in forms and ensure that they are designed to help the customer opt in and/or check out as quickly and easily as possible (while giving you the data that you must have). Confirm that forms are functional in multiple web browsers, operating systems, and mobile devices. Modifying these processes could take time, so starting now will ensure all the gears are turning during the peak season.
While it may seem like there's plenty of time on the calendar to get your holiday act together, the clock is ticking. Creating the foundation of your holiday plan now will position you for success this holiday season!

Hmm, not sure, but I think it probably is from the hall of origin. I've never played Gen 4 however, so I don't know much about the gameplay there.
Wait, if I set my pokemon to private, its legality will never show up, even if the option to display legality for non-public pokemon is selected? How does that work? Does it mean that both public and private must be unticked? (I've unticked that arceus just now, btw, and it's neither public or private at the moment...)

Heads You Lose begins as a concept: two writers, Lisa Lutz and David Hayward, will write a book together. They tried to write together before, but they face this project with a sense that this time it might work out. Lutz and Hayward alternate chapters, attempting to solve the murder with which the book begins. Each chapter ends with a few notes between the two authors. These are the funniest parts of the book, where Lutz and Hayward take cheap shots at each other and their chapters. The novel's chapters have distinct voices for each writer, and feature vastly different ideas of where the story should go. By the time a handful of murders has piled up and a plane crash takes place, the authors find that maybe they can't work together after all. Every chapter has some surprise, as the writers heavy-handedly try to make their solution to the mystery prevail. This metafictional story will entertain you and introduce a new take on the mystery genre.

Looks about as good as Barry's scribble.
He must have gone to public school, then Harvard.
were forced to tolerate Timmy's striking tax cheating....why not?
Is this really the signature of a teenage girl or a grown man? xoxoxo.
Looks more like Obama's name: Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero.
Someone better look at his relationship with his mother.
It is not the nature of the scribble but the hollowness of the man...
The signature has a 'cartoonish' look which is very much in line with the public's view about Congress.
What's next? When our society finally crashes and burns, the next Treasury Secretary's signature will reflect our prospects then too...it will simply be a 'flat-line:' _________________________
That's how many zeros he intends to add to the end national debt.
Anyone who "signs his name" with a "doodle" doesn't deserve ANY position of importance.
From the administration of elementary school thought.
Lew's signature will be a very fitting symbol of the circular economic thinking that dominates Washington these days.
Fits perfectly with BO transparency requirement. His first stop should be a psychiatrists office.
There are official signatures for legal purposes that require them to be legible.
He will probably sign his name more clearly.

The remaining ring beam that made up part of the Metrodome's roof structure was demolished with controlled explosive charges at 7:30 Sunday morning, officials said.
Demolition work had been halted after a portion of the ring beam fell unexpectedly Feb. 17.
After consultation with structural and demolition experts, stadium officials decided the best way to bring down the rest of the ring beam was with controlled explosions.
Neighbors around the downtown Minneapolis site were warned about vibration, dust and noise in connection with the demolition, and several streets around the area were closed, officials said.
Eleventh Avenue, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets, and Chicago Avenue (Kirby Puckett Place) were closed from 5:30 to 9 a.m.
The public wasn't allowed within 250 feet of the site, and the Downtown East light-rail station was closed during the demolition.
The Dome is being demolished to make way for the new $975 million Vikings stadium, which is being erected on the same site.

Fast Boot is a feature in BIOS that can help to reduce the time it takes to boot Intel® Desktop Boards.
The Fast Boot option has three optimization settings that allow General, USB and Video Optimization to be turned on or off separately. By default, all Fast Boot options are disabled.
To enable Fast Boot:
RAID devices are bootable, but not configurable.
USB Optimization cannot be enabled if a User Password or Hard Drive Password is installed.
Enabling this feature will prevent using a USB keyboard to enter BIOS setup. This feature can be temporary disabled by unplugging the computer. The USB optimization feature will be disabled for the first boot after restoring power to the system.
Fast boot recoveryThe BIOS can tell if the previous boot was unsuccessful. When the computer is booted, if the previous boot failed during POST, Fast Boot is disabled and the following message displays: The previous boot attempt failed. Would you like to restore Fast Boot on the next boot? (Y/N)
If the boot attempt fails after POST, such as OS boot failure, no message is displayed and Fast Boot is still active.
Power button recoveryThe power button can be used to recover if you encounter Fast Boot problems.
From a powered off state, press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds (release it when you hear three short beeps). The BIOS will follow a normal boot path as if Fast Boot were disabled.
If Fast Boot is enabled, the following message displays: Fast Boot failsafe trigger was detected. Would you like to restore Fast Boot on the next boot? (Y/N)
Back to BIOS recoveryThis method can only be used for Intel® Desktop Boards that include the Back to BIOS feature.
Pressing the Back to BIOS button on the back panel of the board triggers a recovery boot process. It forces the BIOS to boot directly into the BIOS Setup, where you can disable Fast Boot if needed.
BIOS recovery with the configuration jumperThis method can be used with any Intel® Desktop Board.
A/C power loss when Fast Boot is enabledIf your system loses A/C power during the POST process, the board detects the A/C power loss on the next boot and this message displays: The previous boot attempt failed. Would you like to restore Fast Boot on the next boot? (Y/N)
This applies to:

Make a Gift to the Salvation Army
Latest News / Nothing has the Ability to Change the Life of a Ch...
Nothing has the ability to change the life of a child quite like a week at summer camp. Unfortunately, many inner city children will never experience hiking in the mountains or sleeping in a tent beneath a starry sky. To remedy this, The Salvation Army offers the opportunity for inner city children, like 8-year-old Marquise Brown, to experience life outside of the city in the great outdoors.
Hailing from West Philadelphia, Marquise is headed into his second summer at The Salvation Army Camp Ladore in the Pocono Mountains. After having a great experience last summer trying out everything that Camp Ladore has to offer, Marquise is ecstatic to head back to camp. His mother, Monet Brown, recounts the first day she sent Marquise to camp.
"I was so nervous to send him and he was really nervous as well," said Monet. "Now he can't stop talking about it. We have over a week until he leaves and he already has his bags packed."
Marquise is Monet's only child, and was always a very shy. Without any siblings, Marquise was reserved and had trouble breaking out of his shell. Monet, who attended The Salvation Army Camp Ladore with her siblings when she was a child, thought Marquise could really grow through an experience at camp. After Marquise got back from camp, she noticed an immediate change.
"He grew tremendously from his time at camp," said Monet. "He talks a lot more and really appears to have broken the shy barrier."
After Marquise's time at camp, he could not stop talking about all of the things he learned and activities he participated in. Marquise spent his time doing everything from camping and hiking to fishing and learning about nature, all the while meeting new friends. Monet mentioned that not only was the experience terrific for Marquise, but the staff was caring and attentive when monitoring Marquise's asthma.
"As soon as he got home he couldn't stop talking about different types of trees he learned about or how much fun he had," said Monet. "The staff was absolutely awesome. I was nervous when I let him go but I knew he was in good hands."
Now Marquise is heading back for his second summer and bringing a guest, his 8-year-old cousin Zahirah. Monet believes that despite financial barriers, it's important for every kid to experience camp at least once.
"With so much violence in our neighborhoods, kids aren't allowed to play in the park or even sit out on the stoop alone," said Monet. "Camp is different. Camp gives a kid the chance to just be a kid outdoors. Everyone who goes has a blast."

PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- As Pearl Harbor survivors become fewer in number with the 70th anniversary approaching Dec. 7, one man continues to honor them.
Retired Master Chief Yeoman Jim Taylor, burial-at-sea coordinator for the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, estimates he has conducted internment ceremonies for hundreds of these World War II survivors.
"I've been the only one that has done any of them, I'd say for the last ten years," Taylor said. "I have been privileged to meet hundreds of Pearl Harbor survivors at the various ceremonies that are here and also the ones that live here locally and I just enjoy being with them."
Each service member Taylor inters at the USS Utah and USS Arizona Memorials has a story, and he tells these stories at their ceremonies. In the last few years, Taylor has buried Sailors who served on these ships like Petty Officer 1st Class Jimmy Oberto, Chief Gunner's Mate Raymond Haack and Lt. Wayne P. Maxwell in the presence of family and friends.
"To me, they're heroes," Taylor said. "Anybody and everybody that served in a military uniform are heroes."
Taylor said he believes the full story of Pearl Harbor will never be told, as he learns something new about it each day, and he appreciates his relationship with this special group of people.
"Pearl Harbor was the home port and still is of the finest Navy in the world," Taylor said. "The families are the ones that really should attend that ceremony so they can carry on the legacy of their loved ones who served."
Taylor said this year's ceremony will be especially significant for him, as it could be the last of its kind.
"It's going to be kind of a sad event for me, simply because I won't see these guys again alive," Taylor said. "It is a big deal and unfortunately it's going to be the last visit for an awful, awful lot of Pearl Harbor survivors that are coming for the event. Most of them now are unable to travel because of their physical condition. I'll see them when their families bring them here."
When people ask Taylor why he has done this job for years without pay, he says he is paid "in love."
"I think the reason that they want their ashes scattered in the harbor, in Pearl Harbor in particular, is because their shipmates, their brothers-in-arms were killed that day. The ocean does draw people - it's like family. And they want to be with family when they go. I'm hoping and praying that I can stay healthy enough to keep on doing this until they are all gone."

Strategists: Dems must retake state seats, reach out to moderates
WASHINGTON — Seven months after President Obama won a second term, his Democratic Party can brag about successes but has much to worry about, analysts say.
Minorities, women and youths again voted in record numbers for Obama, and the party held onto its majority in the Senate. It gained eight House seats from Republicans, despite redistricting that made it all the more difficult.
Yet the Democratic National Committee is $20 million in debt, and its leaders acknowledge hurdles ahead: winning control of the House and retaining the Senate in 2014, and trying to win governors' seats and control of state legislatures. They must lure back some conservatives and moderates who quit the party.
This party that touts itself as a family of sorts, with people of differing opinions who find a way to come together, can act more like the Kardashians of catfights and sarcasm fame on reality TV than the idyllic family of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson in their 1950s show.
"Certainly, we have our spats, but we are a family and blood is thicker than water, and so we move forward," said Burns Strider, co-founder of American Values Network and the director of faith outreach for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.
Howard Dean, former Democratic Party chairman, Vermont governor and presidential candidate, believes the party "is in great shape from the outside."
"We have a Democratic president, and whatever party in America has the presidency has the biggest megaphone in America," Dean said.
But against Organizing for Action, the spinoff issue-advocacy group that led Obama's re-election campaign, and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg's powerful, well-funded gun restriction advocacy group, the Democratic Party faces a growing relevancy problem.
All three groups compete for money and influence as they build voter databases that hold the treasure trove of information about people's voting, donating and volunteering habits — along with where they shop, eat and spend down time.
Because of this, party strategists already are working toward next year's elections.
Finding crossover appeal
In their office attached to an old tobacco warehouse along the canal tow path in Georgetown, John Lapp and Jason Ralston plot ways to win House and Senate races and the Arizona guberna-torial election.
Lapp worked alongside Obama gurus David Plouffe, David Axelrod and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. He retains decidedly un-Beltway-like optimism about the Democrats' chances.
He points to a type of candidate the party needs: "Kevin Strouse, who is running in the 8th Congressional District in Pennsylvania, is this outside-of-the-box candidate that I think is good for the party. He is an Iraq war veteran, former CIA officer and a good problem solver."
Strouse of Bensalem, Bucks County, has something in common with candidates that Lapp and Emanuel recruited to win a Democratic House majority in 2006: They're post-partisan thinkers who did not emerge through traditional machine-politics. An Army Ranger who was deployed to Afghanistan before Iraq, Strouse has crossover appeal among all sorts of voters, Lapp said.
"The only office I have ever run for was student council in high school," said Strouse, who counts his Army and CIA experience with helping to shape his analytical mind. "Politics didn't matter. What mattered was finding the solution and getting the job done."
Most of the "Class of 2006" House members have left office; their moderate political instincts clashed with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Obama's progressive stimulus and health care legislation in 2009.
Dane Strother, another Washington-based Democratic strategist, believes the party must make room for moderates.
"There is no struggle for the 'soul of the party' anymore; the party is Barack Obama," Strother said. "The party has shrunk in the last few cycles, and we have shrunk (toward the) left," enabling progressives to dominate.
Issues that Obama pushes — gun control, gay marriage, immigration reform — play well with educated professionals in cities and college-age voters, but the 2010 midterm elections showed Democrats that Obama's appeal doesn't necessarily transfer to other candidates when he's not on the ballot.
If the progressive influence begins to fade, other factions in the Democratic Party almost certainly will fight for power.
Bottom-up rebuilding
Strother and Strider (known around Washington as the guy who can pry the evangelical Christian "God vote" away from the Republicans) voice concern that the party has no "grassroots bench" in state House and Senate seats across the country.
In the past decade, Democrats lost dominance in many state legislatures and local governments, giving potential stars no place from which to start careers.
That stings, Strider said, because the party prides itself as one that encourages "bottom-up" politics.
"It is essential to win state chambers back," he said. "They are the link, or the bridge, to the grassroots of the party. If one link is weak, eventually the whole (party) is going to suffer."
Losing control of state governments matters "because that is the party infrastructure," Strother said, referring to the Washington-based Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee in charge of winning state chambers.
"Every election cycle we have lost more statehouses," Strother said. "The DLCC has had the same leadership and structure for 15 years, and we keep losing."
At the local level, candidates and voters tend not to be as progressive as "Obama Democrats" at the federal level, the strategists say.
"I think that our party infrastructure has to be as strong and inclusive as the party it serves, and grow it in every place of the country, with all of the voices," Strider said. "That is our challenge."
Ideology and enthusiasm
Three fault lines run through the Democratic Party, said Sean Trende, senior elections analyst for RealClearPolitics and co-author of the 2014 Almanac of American Politics.
"The first is the ideological gap between the downscale minority branch, the middle-class suburban branch and the upscale liberal branch of the party," he said.
"A lot of times, they see things the same (way), but when Democrats are in power, it never seems to take long for things to fall apart."
The second crack shows itself in midterm elections, Trende said, "where you have a bunch of highly enthusiastic voters in the presidential election who won't turn out" in 2014.
The third is the speculative split over whether Hillary Clinton could win the presidency if she runs in 2016. Many people say it's hard to imagine anyone beating the former first lady, senator from New York and secretary of State to become the Democratic nominee. Others quickly remind you that everyone said that in 2008, when she lost to Obama.
Those close to Clinton suggest she has in place people to help raise campaign money and gain grassroots support. She just needs to decide soon whether to run, in order to build a campaign machine.
Other presidential hopefuls likely will become evident in the leadup to the midterms, by gauging the level of involvement of Vice President Joe Biden, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and anyone else who tries to demonstrate clout in helping Democrats win seats.
"Given that the 2016 Democratic race is 'Hillary and everyone else,' I'm sure we'll be overanalyzing every campaign appearance she does or doesn't make," said Kyle Kondik, a political analyst with the University of Virginia.

Hundreds of pregnant women and small children can rest a little easier now, knowing they're protected from the H1N1 virus.
Health officials with the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department say Friday's H1N1 clinic was a success.
They say doors remained open an hour longer than scheduled, and at least 750 people received the vaccine.
Officials say they were glad to see so many people line up for the vaccine.
"That indicates that people understand the importance of the vaccine at this time, and the importance of getting vaccinated as soon as possible," Sherif Ibrahim, MD with the MOV Health Department, said.
Health officials say all pregnant women and 4-year-old children were able to get the vaccination.
However, the vaccination for children three years old and younger ran out.

Nelson Global Products specializes in exhaust and fabricated
tube assemblies for the on-highway
markets, including light-, medium-and heavy-duty trucks; off-highway
machinery such as agricultural and
construction equipment, industrial
machines and equipment, material
handling equipment, small engines,
commercial turf and lawn and garden
equipment, and even larger applications such as locomotive, marine
and power generation systems.
The company's product line spans
an equally broad range to encompass
exhaust systems and fabricated tube
products, including exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system components,
charge-air tubes, coolant tubes, exhaust
tubes and its newest line of Thermal
Management Tubing (TMT) to support the thermal requirements of complex diesel emissions systems. Nelson
anticipates that the TMT segment will
be a strong growth area going forward,
as the products are a key contributor
to the performance of aftertreatment
systems and end-user safety.
The advent of Tier 4 interim and
final off-highway emissions standards,
as well as the EPA 2010 on-highway
regulations, has driven the industry
toward a 100% insulated product, as
thermal performance is a key ingredi-
ent to the proper operation of aftertreatment technology. Nelson offers
a range of insulation technologies,
including double-wall air gap, double-wall insulated, ceramic coated tubing,
metal encapsulated insulated tubing
and thermoplastic wrap insulation.
According to Frank Gould, engineering team leader, Exhaust Products,
double-wall air gap or double-wall insulated is the most mechanically robust
option. This insulating technique utilizes
a 16- to 18-gauge aluminized (or painted mild) steel outer shell that follows
the same centerline as the uninsulated
inner tube assembly. The outer shell is
bent, cut down the center line, pieced
over the inner tube assembly and welded shut. The result is a product with
the look and function of the uninsulated
inner tube assembly with the addition of
a (typically) 1 in. thick insulation barrier.
Brackets can be hung or welded to the
steel outer shell.
