The Rosa Parks Scholarship Foundation is seeing triple this year, with a set of triplet sisters among 42 recipients of its one-year, $2,000 scholarship.
�The girls are amazing, they made us so proud,� said Khalil Eter, father of award recipients Leila, Maya and Sara Eter, who graduated May 29 from Crestwood High School in Dearborn Heights. �They worked so hard from the bottom of their hearts.�
Eter said he also credits the girls� mother, Ghada Eter, who did �whatever it took� to get the girls to their many extracurricular activities, while also balancing the commitments of the couple�s younger set of triplets, 12-year-olds Mohmad, Ali and Omar.
The girls plan to use their awards to help pursue careers in various medical fields. Leila and Sara will attend the University of Michigan: Leila plans to study dermatology, Sara, nurse anesthesia. Maya plans to attend Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore to study pediatric surgery.
They are the first triplets to be honored since the foundation was created in 1980 by The Detroit News, Detroit Public Schools and the Butzel Long law firm. More than $2 million has been awarded to more than 1,000 graduates since its establishment. The scholarship is open to Michigan graduating seniors and is awarded based on academic achievement, community involvement and economic need.
Also new this year is recognition of the foundation�s first alumnus of the year, Donnell White, executive director of the Detroit Branch NAACP. White was a Rosa Parks scholar in 1994.
�He really reflects the principles that make Rosa Parks so important to us,� said Kim Trent, president of the foundation, who won the scholarship herself in 1987. �We try to give (the scholarship) to people we think have the potential to be real fighters for social justice.�
Trent said the alumnus of the year award was created to connect alumni with current scholarship recipients.
�We thought this would be a really good way to show our scholars how people who have received the scholarship in the past have leveraged it and gone on to successful careers,� she said. �It�s important ... for the scholars to see themselves in our alumni.�
The Eter sisters, White and other award recipients will be honored at a luncheon Wednesday at the Charles H. Wright Museum in Detroit. The keynote speaker is Tonya Matthews, who took over as president and CEO of the Michigan Science Center in October.
Khalil Eter said he will be watching proudly as his daughters receive their awards.
�I don�t have enough arms to hug all three of them at the same time,� he said.

VER SINCE teaching himself to cut silhouettes in 1989 Charles has been looking for information about the way professional silhouettists have worked in the past. Although there is some published literature about the life and times of such artists, there is almost none about their techniques and working methods. Charles has reconstructed these techniques through a combination of artistic intuition and a close study of antique silhouettes. He has written a number of articles and a website on the subject, as well as a book.
Mastering Silhouettes
This book is aimed at artists, both amateur and professional, as well as anybody interested in learning more about the history of portrait silhouettes. It consists of a series of projects, with step-by-step instructions for the reader to carry out, each of which is based on the work of an historical silhouettist; some of the many who have been influential on Charles' own development as an artist. The projects are designed to impart a hands-on understanding of the historical work in question, so that readers are able to experience making many traditional kinds of silhouettes as well as read interesting stories about the artists who originally made them. All the projects make use of easily-available modern materials.
The various project talk about 'capturing shadows', scissor-cut silhouettes, painted silhouettes, caricatures and full lengths, as well as painting on glass, various kinds of embellishments, work in colour, en grisaille and the so-called 'Etruscan' silhouettes. Some of the better-known silhouettists looked at are John Miers, August Edouart, Hubert Leslie, Isabella Beetham, Jacob Spornberg and many others.
The book is well produced and lavishly illustrated in colour throughout, so will make a good present for anybody interested in either art or history. Although the subject, silhouette, is often seen as a black-and-white art, this is far from being a mono-chromatic book. It includes a number of highly colourful projects - such as the young girl in yellow playing 'Peter Pan' - cut from several sheets of coloured paper arranged over black.
Sample spreads from 'Mastering Silhouettes'. On the left is a project for making life-size silhouettes of your friend, for instance to decorate a marquee or other venue. On the right is one of the history spreads, in this case the story of Jacob Spornberg, which introduces the project about 'Etruscan' silhouettes.
'Mastering Silhouettes' was published in early 2012 in two separate editions: by the Fil Rouge Press in the UK, and by Stackpole Books in the USA. Each copy bought from this site is signed by the author, who can include a personal inscription if you wish, and can be ordered from the Shop. Copies are also available in all major books stores.
Cutting-edge technology of the early nineteenth century. This revolutionary physiognotrace was patented by Charles Schmalcalder of London in 1806. The subject had to sit in a chair with his head held immobile against a round metal plate. The silhouettist then traced around his profile with the long pole; this pole was so heavy that it needed to be kept in balance with a series of pulleys and ropes. At the other end was a short pole with a pointer which traced the profile, upside-down, on a small piece of paper behind a screen. Scale could be varied by changing the relative lengths of the long and short poles.

2014 52 Super Series - Winning both Quantum Key West in January and the US 52 Championship which finished last weekend in Miami, Quantum Racing now head back to Europe for May's start to the Barclay's 52 Super Series as overall US 52 Super Series champions.
Quantum Racing win home' series- 52 Super Series 2014
The American team which is skippered by Ed Baird (USA) won the two regatta series by 14 points ahead of the emblematic Azzurra crew from the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda with Austin and Gwen Fragomen's Interlodge in third completing the US 52 Super Series podium, only one point ahead of Niklas Zennströn's Rán Racing in fourth.
Whilst the Key West regatta was a hard fought affair, most skippers and crews agreed that Miami represented a new level for the 52 Super Series events thanks to the combination of difficult, challenging winds and the strength in depth of the competition.
In Key West owner Doug DeVos steered his team to victory whilst in Miami it was America's Cup winners and past Match Racing World Champion Ed Baird who was on the helm of Quantum Racing.
Both events delivered a very broad range of weather conditions, from squally rain showers and big gusts in Key West – as well as typically picture postcard moderate breezes and sunshine - to a memorable three race day in boisterous 22-30kts conditions in Miami. Hence the final hierarchy ranking after the two events can be considered very representative.
Ontario Sailing Club and Boat Expo
Personally it is was so nice for us as a team to win the US 52 Super Series. It is as near to a 'home game' as we see. It was absolutely perfect from the Quantum Racing standpoint. Miami, our crew agreed, was the best they have ever sailed. There was not an incredibly dominant performance it was very close all the time.' Recalls the Quantum Racing team director Ed Reynolds.
'The boat was always fast in Miami in all conditions there. We did not sail perfectly tactically, no one did and no one really could, it is that type of venue. It was about minimising risks and we did well. I have never seen our team so pumped up about winning a regatta, that reflects how hard it was and how well they sailed.'
'In Key West it was great to win with and for Doug DeVos. Last year the regatta slipped away from us, but the focus and commitment this year was extraordinary. No one we know puts more into the sport and enjoys it more than Doug and so we were delighted to win.'
Last Sunday evening may have been a time for celebration but the mark of champions is that the full team were out sailing on Monday and Tuesday on the Miami waters this week learning the new sail configuration – a longer prod (bowsprit) and bigger gennaker - prior to the boat being shipped to Europe.
'We learned a lot and collected a lot of data but make no mistake there are no 'givens' when we look ahead to Capri. We have to go back and look at the data and see what we learned but we might expect to be back in the pack in Italy. There is always a lot of work to do.' Concluded Reynolds.
Nine 52s are expected line up in Capri 20-25 May (check) for the first regatta of the Barclay's 52 Super Series
US 52 Super Series final standings:
1. Quantum Racing (USA) Doug Devos (USA) 45 PTS
2. Azzurra (ITA) Pablo A Roemmers (ARG) 59PTS
3. Interlodge (USA) Austin & Gwen Fragomen (USA) 66PTS
4. Rán Racing (SWE) Niklas Zennström (SWE) 67pts

Updated 10/06/2014
Surrounded by ramparts, this dramatically beautiful fortress is perched on a hill near the rippleless Maota Lake and grows more alluring as you approach it. The most memorable part of a trip here is standing at the fort's highest point and photographing the parade of elephants, decked in red, regally plodding into the courtyard in the morning. There's a Persian inscription at Amer, added when it was completed, that reads: "Just as the heavens should always be laden with rain, so also this stately building, the foundation of the Maharaja's longevity and wealth, be preserved from any kind of damage," and it has been preserved remarkably well.
Raja Man Singh began building it in 1592; Mirza Raja Jai Singh and Sawai Jai Singh continued the construction over a period of 125 years. For centuries the fortress was the capital of the Kachhawah Rajputs, but when the capital shifted to Jaipur in the early 18th century, the site was abandoned. Although the fort is in ruins, the interior palaces,
gardens, and temples retain much of their pristine beauty. Both the art and the architecture combine Rajput and Mughal influences in felicitous ways; the old rainwater harvesting and lifting systems have been renovated and are paricularly worth a look. You approach the palace complex by walking or, if you arrive very early, by riding an elephant (available from 7 am until 11 am only, Rs 800 for two people, but show up before 7 am) up a sloping incline to the Singh Pole gate and Jaleb Chowk, the preliminary courtyard—or you can drive up from the rear end into Jaleb Chowk. The fort-palace attracts legions of tourists, especially during high season when Indians are also traveling (summer, Diwali, Independence Day and the Christmas holidays) and sometimes the traffic volume is so high the traffic police close the roads to prevent further arrivals. You are best off exiting your hotel for Amer by 8:15 and reaching the fort entrance by 8:45 to beat both the heat and rush and see the elephant parade. You will then need to set aside just an hour to tour the fort. To get the most from your visit, pick up an audioguide at the ticket window.
Two flights of stairs lead up from Jaleb Chowk; to start, skip the one leading to the Shiladevi Temple and take the one leading directly to the palace. In the next courtyard, the pillared Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience) contains alabaster panels with fine inlay work—the kind of craftsmanship for which Jaipur is famous. Typical of the Mughal period, the rooms are small and intimate, whereas the palace's successive courtyards and narrow passages are characteristically Rajput. In one corner is an interesting hamam (Turkish bath) area.
One of the elaborately carved and painted gates is known as Ganesh Pol, after the elephant god Ganesh. From a latticed corridor above it, the queen—always in purdah, or hiding—would await the king's return from battle and sprinkle scented water and flowers down upon him. Each room shows some vestige of its former glory, especially the Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors), with glittering mirror work on the ceiling. Narrow flights of stairs lead up to the lavish royal apartments, and beyond the corridors and galleries there you'll find the small, elegant Char Bagh garden. Take in the views of the valley, the palace courtyards, the formal gardens abutting the octagonal pool next to the lake, and the vast Jaigarh Fort, the ancient fortress on the crest of the hill above you. Also on the upper floor is Jas Mandir, a hall with filigreed marble jalis (screens) and delicate mirror and stuccowork.
On your way out, peek into the 16th-century Shiladevi Temple to the goddess Kali, with its silver doors and marble carvings. Raja Man Singh installed the image of the goddess after bringing it here from lower Bengal (now Bangladesh). Exit the palace by the gate near the temple, and just a few minutes down the road is the 16th-century Jagat Shiromani temple. Dedicated to Krishna, this exquisitely carved marble-and-sandstone temple was built by Raja Man Singh I in memory of his son. Amer village has several other old temples and buildings. Within the fort, before you exit, is a Coffee Cafe Day to catch a cool drink and a few legitimate government-run handicraft stores, Rajasthali, Magical Creations, and Tribes, which are worth visiting. Avoid the handicraft shops in Amer village, even if your guide or driver recommends them.

Been lurking for a few months now and even came here first when I bought my wife the Brother HE-1. It's been great so far and haven't really had any issues out of it at all. Being limited to a certain number of designs or fonts wasn't an issue because I'm a graphic designer by trade so when she needs a name in a certain font or a certain design, I can whip one up in Illustrator or Photoshop and digitize it for her.
The thing is - it's Christmas time now and she's used it to make probably $2k-$3k worth of sales (stockings, aprons, etc) and I'd like to get her a nicer one.
I looked at the Brother PE770 and it seems like the next logical step - basically the same thing I have now but with a 5x7 area instead of the 4x4 area. What are some other suggestions? I suppose I could consider options in the $1k+ price range, but I don't want to spend more than I have to as most of the money she makes goes back into fabrics, materials, etc and she'll probably be initially upset if I spend too much on one for her.
So what are some logical upgrades for me? I need USB and I need the ability for her to use it sans-computer (spotted some that didn't have an LCD like a Singler sew/embroider combo) and I need a larger hoop like 5x7 at the smallest. Oh and I'd like to be able to order it. I know some brands like Babylock are brick and mortar only (if I'm not mistaken).
If you look down will see the the PE770 on sale at Amazon but you need to use a computer with it. I would suggest a Janome 350E probably around $1500. But a better machine and doesn't need to be hooked up to a computer to use it. I believe it uses a USB Stick.
Sorry was wrong about the computer hook up thing
Amazon -- Edited on 11/26/12 12:31 PM --
and it's fine if it CAN be hooked up to a computer... as a matter of fact I'd much prefer one that CAN be... but there was a Singer I saw that didn't have an LCD on it so it literally had to be hooked up to a computer as best I can guess. With me being able to literally do a custom embroider of anything and export it to a PES file and have the machine do it, PC connectivity is definitely something I need.
Looking at the PE770 with USB connectivity though it looks like it can pull them directly from a flash drive, which is nice. I keep the wife's PES files nice and organized on my PC but she's got a 16gb flash drive and could just basically store them all on there without having to get out the laptop to transfer them to the machine.
Well you might not want to store them all on a usb drive. If like other embroidery machines it may slow it down quit a lot (loading the design). They are usually meant for transfer not for storage. I think it's neat you share your wife's hobby/business. I still vote for the Janome though. I have the 10001 a now retired machine but they are made so well. They are worth the money. Especially if she's doing this for a business.
I highly respect Quilting Wolf's suggestions as she/he is very much into embroidery. I've been looking at the PE770, only as a pipe dream, if I ever want to upgrade from my PE150. Why am I staying with Brother? Because I won't have to convert formats from PES to whatever.
As to storage, I have a Brother PE-Basic external drive that I download designs from my computer to a card, which fits in my machine. I keep all my designs on my computer; not on the card. It's much easier for me that way. And being as the 770 uses a USB stick, which my computer has an outlet, that would be a much easier transition for me.
My suggestion would be to upgrade to the 770. You like the Brother product as you have it now, so why change?

I just checked out the Brother PE770 on Amazon again....
And I think they've dropped the price on that one, too!
These prices seem to be much lower than they were just two months ago.
I don't know if you looked at this:
4 Hoop Set for PE770
That seems like a super good deal! (I basically paid $75 just to get the 5x7 hoop for my EG) ... I'd recommend getting those at the same time so you don't waste as much money on stabilizer. Having to hoop up the 5x7 when you only need a 4x4 (or smaller) will get really old, fast.
Both of these are Amazon Prime eligible - so if you don't already have a Prime account, you can get a 30 day trial to score not having to pay shipping on the machine and the hoops. :winkgrin:
I wound up keeping my Prime account after the trial - it's been a good value for me.

Jellyfish sting halts Cuba-to-Florida swim attempt
Published June 13, 2013 10:05 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Havana • The Australian who had to give up her quest to swim from Cuba to Florida because of jellyfish stings said her run-in with the creatures was unexpected.
Chloe McCardel told The Associated Press on Thursday that she had picked this time of year for her swim because the jellyfish danger is lower.
But late Wednesday, she found herself in a swarm and was severely stung, including painful wounds inside her mouth. The pain was so great that she had to give up her swim after 12 hours, about a fifth of the way through her 110-mile, 60-hour swim.
She was taken by boat to Key West, Fla., where she was recovering Thursday at a hotel.

Personal Training
I am too old to get in shape- really???
How to manage the holidays dietwise!
Academic steroids- a better mind for bigger muscles!
Maik and his team are amazing! I've never met anyone with such deep understanding of muscle physiology. I came in with a passive shoulder injury that I've been dealing with for years.

Equal Opportunity Housing
The sale and purchase of a home is one of the most significant events that an individual will experience in their lifetime. It is more than the simple purchase of housing, for it directly impacts the hopes, dreams, aspirations, and economic destiny of those involved. It is for this reason that the Fair Housing Act and other federal and state laws were enacted to guarantee a right to a national housing market free from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, and national origin.
Civil Rights Act of 1866
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibits all racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property.
Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act declares a national policy of fair housing throughout the United States. The law makes illegal any discrimination in the sale, lease or rental of housing, or making housing otherwise unavailable, because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Americans with Disabilities Act
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in places of public accommodations and commercial facilities.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act makes discrimination unlawful with respect to any aspect of a credit application on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age or because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program.
State and Local Laws
State and local laws often provide broader coverage and prohibit discrimination based on additional classes not covered by federal law.
Here at Rogue Sportsmans Realty, we firmly support Equal Opportunity Housing.
If you have any questions about it, please feel free to take time and ask us!

"Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare"
Q&A with renowned health expert Dr. David Kipper
September 11, 7 PM
Aero Theater
1328 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica
No matter what one's political inclinations may be, both sides can agree that the health of our nation is in a state of crisis. The newest investigative documentary out of Sundance from filmmakers Matthew Heineman and Susan Froemke dives deeply into this frayed and hotly contested world of American healthcare.
"Escape Fire" does not mince words: "we don't have a healthcare system in this country; we have a disease management system." We spend more money on healthcare than any other country, yet our health outcomes would hardly show it. The film not only chronicles the for-profit facets of the industry that place 'quick-fixes' before prevention and proceeds before patients - and the serious repercussions of such priorities - but is also an awe-inspiring journey into the way average Americans and medical professionals alike are working on new and innovative ways to transform healthcare for the better.
Renowned health expert Dr. David Kipper will join host Pete Hammond after the screening to talk about the issues raised in this provocative and compelling film, opening in select theaters on October 5th .
Want to win a FREE pair of passes to the screening? Leave a comment below sharing your question for healthcare expert Dr. Kipper. [Contest ends 9/10 at 4:00 PM] Click here for contest rules.

In 2010, I had multiple strokes and emergency brain surgery at the age of 38. Before 2010, I had a vibrant creative career with full health benefits. The strokes have left me without my ability to write or read fluently and I am now a medicare recipient. As I have to rewrite my place in the world, learning about America's health care system has now gone beyond just my philosophical believes. It is a real world issue that my husband and I have to navigate. I would very much like to enter my name into this contest to see the film and talk.

Kansas City is quickly earning a well-deserved reputation as a coffee town, with several outstanding cafes and roasting companies. We are excited to play a role in the creation of a new player in the specialty coffee scene. In January 2014, the wholesale operation of Benetti's Coffee Experience was spun off to become part of a new endeavor, Messenger Coffee.
We are also enthusiastic about the new model and direction for Benetti's. While Messenger moves forward in sourcing, roasting and distributing top-notch coffees to local cafes such as The Filling Station, Alchemy Coffee, Blackdog Coffee House, Common Ground Coffee Co., One More Cup, Homer's Coffee House, Portico at Graceway Church, Archives Coffee in the Plaza Library and more, we will return our focus to building an excellent experience at a roasting cafe.
Will Benetti's still be roasting coffee?
Absolutely. Part of our renewed experience will be serving espresso from Messenger Coffee, a blend that found its beginnings at Benetti's. Then, we will be working in close collaboration with Messenger and others to source single-origin coffees that will be roasted right in the shop, on our new Diedrich IR-3 roaster. Over the past seven years, we have learned that offering a tasty and consistent espresso requires a certain volume for proper sourcing and roasting. However, single-origin coffees can benefit from being roasted in small batches. With our new model, we will be able to offer you the best of both, without the distractions that come with being in the wholesale world.
Will I be able to get Benetti's coffee outside of the cafe?
We sure hope so. Even though Benetti's is not pursuing wholesale accounts, we do welcome the opportunity to share our coffees in selective, small portions to local purveyors, churches in our community or fellow multi-roaster cafes that would like to feature one of our house-roasted offerings across their counter.
What else is on the horizon?
As we approach our seven-year anniversary, we will be reinvesting in our product, atmosphere and experience. Over the spring months there will be an update to our customer space that reflects the next version of Benetti's. We will also be upgrading the equipment that we use and our processes in the pursuit of precise and consistent coffee extraction. Finally, our product offerings and educational opportunities will be crafted in a way that targets those who enjoy brewing coffee at home.

17-year-old Adam Cianciarulo raced to his second career Eastern Regional 250SX Class victory Saturday night in front of 59,919 fans at Lucas Oil Stadium.
It was an impressive performance from start to finish for Cianciarulo, with the rookie grabbing fastest-qualifier honors, winning his heat race and eventually taking the main event victory.
"I'm definitely happy with my ride, it was more of a smart race for me," said Cianciarulo. "I knew the whoops would be key because they really deteriorated. I had a couple close calls early on, but was able to keep it close to Martin [Davalos]. He made a mistake and I was able to capitalize on it. I almost gave it back a little bit later, but I got back on the bike quick and kept the lead."
Martin Davalos, who picked up his first career victory last weekend, led the opening six laps before crashing in the rhythm section, allowing Cianciarulo to move into first and Matt Bisceglia into second.
Cianciarulo quickly stretched a gap over Bisceglia, and despite a brief fall on Lap 8, went on to win by over five seconds. Davalos recovered to finish second, while GEICO Honda's Justin Bogle passed his teammate -Bisceglia – late to secure his second straight podium result.
As the series heads to Daytona, Fla., Cianciarulo holds a five-point lead over his Pro Circuit Kawasaki teammate Martin Davalos. Bogle sits in third, 16 points out of the lead.Adam Cianciarulo, Indianapolis, Justin Bogle, Martin Davalos, Supercross, Video

Product Description
A few weeks later they bought matching backpacks.
Over a three-year period they climbed five mountains and ran in two marathons. Together they suffered sore muscles, bitter cold, sprung knees, shin splints, and broken spirits. But they also reveled in blazing sunsets, glissaded on a glacier, and celebrated numerous victories great and small. And in the process, they built an unshakable father-daughter bond that will withstand the tests of time.

Joe Kelly, author of Dads and Daughters: How to Inspire, Understand, and Support Your Daughter and The Dads & Daughters Togetherness Guide: 54 Fun Activities to Help Build a Great Relationship
As a mother of three teenagers, ages, 16, 17 and 18, Dont Let Me Go came at just the right time in my life...in our lives. Many parenting books preach to the mind, story always reaches to the heart. At this point in my journey as a mother, I need a gentle nudge, a hope-filled example, tender encouragement for this rewarding, yet often treacherous climb. I am grateful for the privilege of discovering such trustworthy guides as David and Chera Pierce.
Lisa Whelchel, author of the bestseller Creative Correction, Taking Care of the Me in Mommy and The Facts of Life and Other Lessons My Father Taught Me
David Pierces accounts of the adventures he took with his daughter are as refreshing, funny and exhilarating to read as the actual activities were challenging and strenuous. Each chapter is its own fast-paced expedition; each page a quick step of a fantastic journey. If Im ever on a path up a mountain with either of my daughters or heading any place else, for that matter I hope I run into David Pierce, who can help show me the way.
Dean Batali, Television Writer (That 70s Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
David Piece and his daughter climbed more than one mountain. The physical struggle of conquering a physical mountain pales in comparison to the mountains of faith, transparency, honesty, devotion, and forgiveness they each scaled. This gut-honest narrative of parental love and vulnerability evokes tears and laughs while providing valuable insights on how to be a positive influence on young people.
Dr. Dennis E. Hensley, author of How to Stop Living for the Applause
The common push me, pull you of parenting is joyously explored in David Pierces new memoir of mountain climbing with his daughter in Dont Let Me Go. Pierce is the rare author and exemplary father who can combine warm humor with paternal anxiety. His story of reaching for the sky from the tallest peaks in America allows readers insight into what it means to hold tight to a teenage daughters handand when to let go.
Randy OBrien, author of veteran book reviewer and journalist, author of the critically-acclaimed novel Judge Fogg
I fell in love with the writing style of David Pierce over 30 years ago when he wrote, Do you wanna go steady? on a note and passed it to me in the 11th grade. So, I married him. Our journey together has been filled with as many ups and downs as there are switchbacks on Mt. Rainier. One thing we have never wavered on is our devotion to our children. They have always taught us more about ourselves than any wisdom we could instill in them. And I am so excited to have you read along and see for yourselves what God teaches all His children on the mountaintops and in the deepest valleys of our lives.
Chonda Pierce, comedienne, author, and recording artist
Author Bio
Press Release
Told from the father's point of view, David slowly reveals his experience of the woman his daughter is becoming, from the 15-year-old she was when they started. Don't Let Me Go is a remarkable, hope-filled account of a father's coming-of-age, learning how to draw closer to his daughter, and that he isn't letting her go so much as inspiring her to ever greater freedoms. Woven into this adventure story is the minor parallel story of David's personal climb to fatherhood that began before his daughter was born, as a son of a difficult father. The quote that sets up this parallel account comes from Gregory of Nyssa: "The knowledge of God is a mountain steep indeed, and difficult to climb." Like climbing, David's story takes us through eight chapters of valleys snd summits, representing the primary challenge of parenting - the shifting landscape between the influence of one's own parents, and the parent one hopes to become. The rhythm that's created becomes a powerful experience of alternating joys and sorrows, of losing and finding, but most of all, of reconnecting with that essential, fundamental pull toward one's progeny that tugs at the heart of every parent.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Adam Dunn isn't trying to forget how the Chicago White Sox came apart in the final two weeks of last season.
"I'm sure everybody's going to say 'start over with a clean slate,' but I don't want to forget last year," Dunn told the Chicago Tribune at White Sox camp in Arizona. "That's something I want to remember, how it felt basically getting knocked out of first place, because I know I didn't like it very much, and I don't want it to happen again."
In eight of the past nine years, Dunn has hit at least 38 homers. Last year, when he hit 41, he could have played in his first postseason. ...

New information about an Eastern Kentucky man police call the "Duct Tape Bandit."
Kasey Kazee's trial was supposed to start next week in Boyd County, but the judge says Kazee needs a psychiatric exam before the case can go forward.
Police say Kazee robbed an Ashland liquor store over the summer with his head wrapped in duct tape. He later said he was innocent during a jail house interview.

The Tiny Country That Beats U.S. Econ Growth
A year ago this summer, on this very blog, I wrote about my trip to Israel where I interviewed Israel's Ben Bernanke, central bank chief Stanley Fischer. Back then Fischer explained that Israel would be fiscally responsible as the global economy pulled itself out of the financial crisis.
Today, one and a half years later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined me and David Asman to-- okay call it like it is-- crow about its growth.
Israel has posted 4-5% GDP for the past FIVE YEARS.
"We are a speed boat, while the U.S. is a cruise ship," Prime Minister Netanyahu said in defending America's anemic 2% growth.
Okay, we get that the U.S. is huge compared to Israel (population around 7 million) but Israel scores major points when it comes to being fiscally responsible in both good times and bad.
We interviewed him at noon at the Regency Hotel. David and I had to go through rigourous security measures: x-ray machines, our hands swiped for explosive powders, bomb-sniffing dogs. The Israelis could teach the world a thing or two about air-tight security, and, so it seems, about how to grow a business-friendly economy.
Please listen to the 2 clips below... and remember, they're pulling off pro-business policy with the overhang of constant Arabconflict.

British pornstar Cyprus Isles skinny dipping
Gorgeous Cyprus Isles was a sweaty British pornstar as the sun rose and the heat of the day set in. She knew the guys next door were out for the day and lustily looked over at their swimming pool. Deciding she was feeling naughty, she nipped over the wall and took off her little white mini-dress to go skinny dipping. Then while feeling naughty, she slipped a finger into her pussy… then hopped out of the pool and stuck a finger in her ass too, until she came with a shuddering orgasm! Another stunning British pornstar shoot for SexyUKPornstars.com – part of the UKXXXPass Network


text: People suffering from addictions, whether they are in recovery or still active, should be outraged by the recent Visual Viewpoint cartoon by Jerry Holbert (Feb. 22). This cartoon perpetuates the stigma of addiction. It is attitudes such as these that keep people from seeking treatment, keeps some doctors from treating addicts and some pharmaceutical companies from working toward developing new treatments for addicts. Stigma is an enormous obstacle to more effective drug abuse treatment. Widespread perceptions that addiction strips individuals of basic human qualities lead to self-fulfilling predictions that those who are addicted cannot recover or ever play positive and productive social roles. Addiction is a major public health problem that impacts society on multiple levels. Directly or indirectly, every community is affected by drug abuse and addiction, as is every family. Drugs take a tremendous toll on our society at many levels. Substance abuse costs our nation more than $484 billion per year. Why would a person suffering from addiction seek treatment if the opinion shown in this cartoon is deemed acceptable and the general public is lead to believe addiction is not a serious medical condition? Are we part of the problem or part of the solution? Suzi deFosset, certified alcohol and drug counselor II, Auburn

One of the toughest realizations when you are a new mom is that you can't do things like you used to. Your hands are always carrying something (usually a baby), and you absolutely don't have the time to do what you used to. While baby carriers are nothing new, they have gained in popularity thanks …

There is no doubt Whitney Houston was, is and always shall be a simply monumental artist. As a pop female solo recording artist, she has the RIAA's highest certified album of all time, with "The Bodyguard" at 17 million units sold. Until the launch of the RIAA's digital certification program in 2004, she reigned as the QUEEN of singles, having sold more than any other female solo artist in history, with 16.5 million units sold.
With THAT VOICE, Whitney made YOU feel what she felt, what she sang. When she wanted to "Dance with Somebody," we did. When her voice reflected her feeling like a "Million Dollar Bill," WE did. That voice. You could get lost in it, listen to it endlessly, never grow tired of it – or ever crack the code of what made it so completely singular. Songs like "You Give Good Love," "Where Do Broken Hearts Go," "Saving All My Love" or "Didn't We Almost Have it All" could be studied, imitated, emulated – but never, ever matched. Every song on the "My Love is Your Love" album got you moving and feeling something – whether it was hurt, vulnerability, sass, fun, loyalty or ultimately triumph.
But . . . it was when Whitney SOARED that we soared. Grounded in Earth but reaching to the sky, her "National Anthem" summoned our pride. Her 1988 Summer Olympics song "One Moment in Time" made us wish for our own someday. But, we were glad it was hers, that so many were hers. And they always will be.

Unwillingness to accept help may be hampering your success. Piya Khanna explains why it's important to know how to receive and shares tips on how to flex your receiving muscle!
Receiving is a gift. It is also an art. Unfortunately, many people (especially women) have forgotten how to receive. We are taught to be independent, strong and careful that we just say a big fat NO when people try to offer us gifts of help, compliments, dinner, support or love. This can make the giver feel rejected, unwanted, unnecessary or unvalued. You're not alone; I am also afflicted by this condition and have been practicing receiving for a while now, not always successfully.
We have been taught that a person's worth is defined by their productivity, their ability to make things happen, to manage and control. We are hell-bent on showing the world how tough and independent we are. We worry that we don't deserve a gift or, even worse, wonder "what do they want in return?" Women especially have been so preoccupied with trying to succeed in a man's world that the simple art of receiving has almost disappeared.
Recently, I complimented a dear friend on her scarf and she just brushed it off and told me it was a cheap thing she had picked up for a tenner in some supermarket. This got me thinking: if a person can't or won't receive a no-strings-attached compliment from a friend, how will they ever receive anything else? I often rejected offers of help at work and then wondered why I was so overwhelmed. I also know ladies who insist on going Dutch even when their partner really wants to treat them, which deflates the wannabe giver and hurts their feelings too.
By not being open to receive, you are denying someone the joy of giving
Think about it — doesn't it feel great to help some one out? Don't you love it when someone likes something you've given them and really shows their appreciation? For me, it's the best feeling in the world! A friend's son recently had his eighth birthday party. As he is interested in tennis, I hunted around for a good book about the subject (harder than you'd think in Delhi!). He texted me specifically to thank me and was thrilled! I was even more thrilled that he liked it and felt the warm and fuzzy feeling of self-approbation all day.
Giving feels amazing — it feels so good to know you've made someone's day or made them smile or feel good about themselves with a simple compliment or a small gift of something that they appreciate. I really feel that the gift-giver receives as much benefit as the recipient. So why deprive another of the joy of giving? Why not receive their gift with a smile and a thank you? Do you accept help from people easily? Or do you say, "No thanks — I can manage". How will you accept help in your new career if you're used to being a one-man show? It's time to learn to receive if you want to make your career-shift successful and smooth.
Put yourself in the giver's shoes. If someone rejected one of your gifts because they can easily buy it themselves, or feel that they don't deserve it, how would you feel? Would you want to give them a gift again? I wouldn't!
If you cannot accept a compliment or help from another easily and gracefully, how will you receive success in your new role or the fruits of your labour — financial or otherwise? Is there a belief lurking deep inside you that you're not good enough? Are you ready to be successful and prosper in a new career or are there mental shifts that you still need to make?
How to learn to receive
Here are some simple practices you can adopt to grow your receptivity muscle.
Set an intention of openness and receptiveness: For one week, start every morning with an intention to receive. Say something like "I am open to receiving all the gifts that life brings me today with grace". Watch what happens and how people react.
For one day, every time someone offers you a compliment, simply smile and say thank you. That's all — not "Right back at you", or "You're looking great too" or "It's just an old thing" or "It's nothing…" Just a smile and a "thank you".
Sincerely compliment your friends and colleagues and notice how they respond and how you react to what they do. How do you feel when they receive your compliment graciously? How do you feel when they brush it aside or deem themselves unworthy of it?
The next 5 times someone offers you help of any sort — TAKE IT! Perhaps someone offers to carry your bags at the airport, or gives you a lift, or helps with chores — anything. Just accept the offer with a smile and a thank you.
Ask people who have made the change you want to make who and what helped them to succeed. Chances are, they had to learn to accept help and support along the way. And so will you.
Pay it forward — help someone out and feel how good it feels.
Do you pride yourself on not receiving help from others? Might this be hindering your acceptance of success too? Leave a comment below.

The Infinity Group, established in 2004, is a WBE certified company built on over 35 years of commercial and residential construction experience. The Infinity Group has roots into mainstream construction beginning back in the late 1970's along the Gulf Coast of Alabama and early 1980's in Orlando, Florida. Over the years the principals of our company have built a solid reputation in the field of development and construction for maintaining high quality standards while completing our projects on time and within budget.
Construction knowledge, project control, planning and scheduling are the key elements of success to every project. With construction experience from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, through Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and down the peninsula of Florida, our company has a Southeastern market focus that delivers on the specific needs of our developers and real estate investors.
The Infinity Group's mission is one of excellence and hard work. In every project we undertake we will strive to be competitive with our pricing, sensitive to the needs of our clients and the quality standards their projects require, on task with our schedules, contributors to our community, and devoted to our families.
Our goal: be better, work harder and raise the bar on our standards every day.
The Infinity Group is best known as a full service general contractor and construction manager. We focus on the "team" approach to project development because it consistently offers the owner the highest investment value. Using our concept of relationship building with architects, engineers, developers and owners, our projects are developed to maximize cost-efficiency, quality, versatility and longevity through idea sharing and experience. Using value-engineering analysis to compare initial costs versus long term return on investments we are able to offer design change options and/or material selections and methods of construction that achieve the same results by different, more economical means. As an important team participant, you are kept informed as to available options and receive objective recommendations. Free flowing lines of communication are established from the outset of the program that can offer other advantages down the line in terms of schedule and quality control.
The stability and longevity of The Infinity Group has a direct connection to our people. Our expertise, commitment and resources allow us to offer full project control from initial conception to ribbon cutting. Developing and controlling budgets, meeting deadlines and maintaining high quality standards are just what we do. By insuring the complete satisfaction of our project owners, our company has grown and prospered in a very competitive industry. The Infinity Group offers a wealth of experience needed to build and manage for our customers. Our comprehensive resources bring financing, investment counseling, design, engineering, construction, construction management, teamwork, quality control and precise scheduling to every project we handle. We welcome the opportunity to serve as your development and construction partner.
General Contractor
As a General Contractor, The Infinity Group would join your project team near the conclusion of the design phase, providing owners a traditional design-bid-build structure. Our team can perform general contractor duties on either a negotiated contract or bid contract basis.
Construction Management
As Construction Managers, The Infinity Group can provide service as either an owner's agent or on an "at-risk" basis where we become responsible for guaranteeing budget, quality, schedule and performance. Whichever means suits your project needs; we join your team through a negotiated contract or bid process and utilize our diverse experience to bring value to your project.
The Infinity Group has the resources to bring together the components required to establish and manage design-build teams, acting as the single point of contact for our clients and accepting responsibility for both design and construction phases. The design-build approach provides owners with an efficient way to interface with engineering, architectural, and construction team members early on, and facilitates an efficient, cost-effective parallel coordination structure.
David A Gethers
David Gethers is the Founder and Managing Member of The Infinity Group. Mr. Gethers graduated from Auburn University in 1983 with a Bachelors Degree in Building Science. After graduation, Mr. Gethers worked in the Orlando, Florida area as a commercial and industrial concrete and masonry subcontractor for Carter Concrete Services Company, Inc. In 1989 Mr. Gethers became Chief Estimator and Project Manager for McCree, Inc., a design/build company in Orlando. In 1996 Mr. Gethers returned to Alabama and settled in the Auburn area where he became Vice President and Director of Construction Operations for Charter Construction Management Company, Inc., a developer/contractor of Multi- Family and Light Commercial projects.
Mr. Gethers founded The Infinity Group in 2004 with the goal to "create a professional general contracting and construction management organization that can offer project management, development and coordinating services for our real estate, investment and development community."
Margaret F Gethers
Margaret Gethers is a Member, and majority shareholder of The Infinity Group as well as Managing Member of Infinity Services, a company that specializes in construction renovations and remodeling. Prior to helping her husband found The Infinity Group and starting Infinity Services, Mrs. Gethers was Construction Coordinator for Charter Construction Management, Co., Inc., a developer/contractor of Multi-Family and Light Commercial projects. Mrs. Gethers is a past member of Women in Construction and has established herself as a company liaison and primary point of contact with our clients. Mrs. Gethers heads up The Infinity Group's quality control division, performing walking-through inspections and "punch" lists for our projects before owner occupation.
"I have worked with David and Margaret Gethers for almost ten years, and have been consistently impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and expertise. They go over and above to provide their customers with quality construction."
Sean M. Foote, AIA, SR&F Architects
"We've worked with David and Margaret Gethers for 14 years. David has completed every job he ever built for us within the budget. The quality of his work was always good, but became even better when Margaret joined his team. Their attention to detail, and ability to plan ahead, set them above most others in the building industry. We'd recommend them without qualification.
Fred Bennett, Founder, The Bennett Group

DOTHAN, AL -- Family and friends gathered together for the Neighborhood Fun Day at the Ussery housing complex in Dothan today.
The Neighborhood Fun Days have occurred at each of the five housing complexes in Dothan during the summer. Kids had the chance to play on inflatables, eat hamburgers and hotdogs and spend the day celebrating summer.
They even had a special visit from the Honeysuckle Middle School teachers and faculty.
Coordinators said this is a great way to get students excited to go back to school.
"It just made a tremendous difference for them to be able to come here today to see that their teachers are looking forward to them, and they're thinking about them over the summer," Coordinator Anita Dawkins said.
The fun days are sponsored through donations from the community.

The Health Insurance Exchange and Marketplace that helps people buy insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act is closed until November. But that doesn't mean you can't get health care coverage through other options. Here are some things to consider if you still haven't signed up for health coverage.
CHIP: The Pennsylvania Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, is a program to help uninsured children and teens who are not covered by Medical Assistance. This affordable and comprehensible health care coverage can help youth who need insurance for health, dental, and vision services. It can also help those with existing coverage that doesn't go far enough. Enrollment is open anytime.
Medical Assistance: Medical Assistance, also known as Medicaid, can help people with eligible low income or high medical expenses get access to important physical health and mental health services in Pennsylvania. Qualification is based on income and those who are eligible can sign up at any time during the year. If you qualify, your coverage can begin immediately.
Have coverage but experienced a life change: If you have health care coverage but have married, divorced, lost a job, had a baby, moved to another state or experienced another kind of major life change, you must update your status. It's called a qualifying life event and you could be entitled to more benefits based on your current situation. These changes must be reported by phone or online.
Help is available: If applying for CHIP, Medical Assistance or making changes through the healthcare marketplaces is daunting, there is free help available. Keystone Health Outreach Enrollment Navigators can help locate health insurance options through CHIP or Medical Assistance, as well as connect anyone who doesn't qualify for these services to other community assistance options.
Where to enroll: Keystone Health Outreach Enrollment is available by calling 709-7969 or visiting one of these offices from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays-Fridays:
• 830 Fifth Ave. or 51 S. Main St., Chambersburg
• 7 S. Carlisle St., Greencastle
• 35 E. Main St., Waynesboro
Or call the county board of assistance at: 264-6121 (Franklin); 485-3151 (Fulton); and 1-800-269-0173 (Cumberland)

Victoria Beckham Clothing – Autumn/Winter 2011-2012First published on the Last Modified on the
Striking Colours and Feminine Silhouettes
Read more about Victoria Beckham, or view recent Victoria Beckham Collections on the London Fashion Review Blog.
The Autumn/Winter 2011-2012 collection featured an important landmark for Victoria Beckham and her namesake fashion label – the 100th dress she has designed, which was a fitted saffron dress with the signature Victoria Beckham exposed zip snaking an elegant path down the spine. The collection was a departure from Victoria's usual bodycon designs, with the lady herself explaining "As I've become more confident in my own skin, I realised I wanted to give women the freedom to be more comfortable" – the silhouette for winter 2011-2012 was looser and slightly more relaxed than previous collections, yet maintained a certain structural elements and femininity.
The collection was mostly made up of an elegant plethora of dresses in a range of vibrant block colours – saffron, sunflower yellow, scarlet, Bordeaux, taupe, grey and teal. Coming in a variety of lengths and silhouettes, stand out dresses included a tight to the hip magenta gown with a pleated floor length A-line skirt; a slim-line kimono-influenced dress in striking sunflower; a Bordeaux tube dress with high neck and asymmetric shoulder detail; a beautiful jacquard cocoon dress; and a pleated floor-length scale print number with bandage mid-section.
The collection also featured an impressive selection of separates and outerwear, including a chic taupe mac with interesting fold over detail and a black coat with dropped waist and pleated skirt. The garments were accessorised with knee-high boots and shoes, designed in collaboration with Christian Louboutin an a smattering of stunning over-sized leather bags and clutches.
With the effortless chic of her collection – produced in partnership with showbiz entrepreneur, Simon Fuller – it isn't hard to see why her Victoria's designs have become a firm favourite of the Hollywood elite, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Blake Lively, Drew Barrymore, Elle Macpherson and Trudie Styler.
So without further ado, we present the Autumn/Winter 2011-2012 collection from Victoria Beckham…Enjoy!

Private Chef Services
Why go out for dinner when a great dining experience can come to you!
Private chefs are becoming a popular way for everyone to be able to indulge in a great meal. Why use my services over a night out at a restaurant?
- Your table is always ready. You may have your meal at a time that is convenient for you, not at a time when the restaurant can fit you in.
- No delays because the restaurant hasn't turned the table over for your reservation.
- Your menu is customized to suit your tastes and needs. You aren't limited to what is on the menu and worrying about having to make changes that may or may not happen to your satisfaction.
- Purchasing your own wine for home is a substantial savings over buying wine at the restaurant.
- You won't have to worry about having a dinner party and spending most of the night in the kitchen. Enjoy your guests – everything will be taken care of, even the dishes!
- Drinking and driving laws are now even tougher. With your dinner prepared for you at home, you can have a glass of wine, or two, without the need to drive.
- If you do have a few drinks at the restaurant, taxis can take a long time to arrive and can really add to the cost of your evening.
- Maybe the best of all, you get to tell your friends about one of the best meals you've ever had - at home - and you didn't even have to lift a finger.
I'm available where you need me.
Now that I've mentioned some of the reasons why my chef services are a good choice for you, it's up to you to decide where to use them:
- At home with family and friends is a great place to start.
- Maybe its the lake or the cottage for the weekend. Wouldn't you rather spend your time "playing" than in the grocery store and kitchen? Wouldn't it be great to come in from your fun filled day and be able to sit down to a fresh hot meal?
- Maybe you are in town on business and just don't have the time to cook and just don't want to eat out every night.
Whatever your needs, please contact me to find out how I may of assistance to you.
Custom menu prices in the Ottawa area start as low as $65/person!
