Teaching the Army values of Duty, Honor, Integrity, Selfless Service and more, five First Army NCOs and more than 60 fifth-graders from W. A. Fountain Elementary School, First Army's partner in education school, enjoyed a morning discussing what traits make good leaders and good citizens May 20.
Organized by Gayle Johnson, First Army community relations officer, the leadership conference gave the students a chance to learn, and reinforce, those positive traits that will serve them well not only in middle school, but throughout their lives.
"The purpose of this conference is to introduce leadership skills based on values - the seven Army values - to students who are headed for middle school and a very different environment from elementary school," Johnson said. "We want to send young leaders to their new school and, based on the response and participation of the students, I'd say we were a success. I attribute our success to the outstanding NCOs who led the conference. Those Soldiers live the Army values and taught what they live to students in a creative way that kept the students' attention."
Dr. Valerie Bennett, an honors class physics teacher at the Westminster School in Atlanta and an acquaintance of Johnson's, kicked off the conference by telling the students "the world is waiting for you to make a difference."
"As leaders, you have to step up and find solutions, so put in that extra study time now," said Bennett. "Leaders also find people to help them solve problems."
Sgt. Maj. Shawn Doucette, First Army Operations, Plans and Training sergeant major, and Sgt. 1st Class Pablo Rivera-Lopez, counter-improvised explosive device NCO for First Army, followed Bennett. Both stated that the Army values they live by are not only for Soldiers, but can benefit anyone throughout their lives.
"You need to apply the Army values to your personal life," said Doucette. "Those values can be summed up by the phrase 'Do the right thing even when no one is looking.'"
Rivera-Lopez asked the students to give an example of doing the right thing.
"Doing your homework and checking it to make sure it's right," said David Pereyra, a fifth-grader in Joel Boyce's class.
"Exactly!" said Doucette. "Doing your homework and checking it is exactly what we do before we go out on a mission. In the Army, we call them pre-combat checks and pre-combat inspections. We check our equipment, weapons and vehicles before every mission to ensure everything works and is where it should be."
It wasn't all serious discussions with Doucette and Rivera-Lopez.
The NCOs brought a complete set of "battle rattle," the body armor, pads, helmet, eye protection and ammo/cargo harness Soldiers wear when they are in a combat zone.
"I didn't know it was so heavy," said Jamari Stewart as he wore the interceptor body armor vest, Kevlar helmet, goggles and gloves.
"Now, imagine wearing all that gear and going on patrol in 120-degree temperatures." Rivera-Lopez said.
After a short break where refreshments were served, the female NCOs took the stage. Sgt. 1st Class Maritza Diaz, enlisted strength management noncommissioned officer in charge for G-1; Sgt. 1st Class Gail Bermudez, G-1 mobilization NCO; and Staff Sgt. Sonja Blue, First Army Augmentation Detachment human resources NCO, performed two skits about personal courage and integrity. In the first skit, Blue was picking on Diaz and took a book from her. Bermudez witnessed the bad behavior and stepped forward to intervene on Diaz' behalf.
Students were asked how Bermudez showed personal courage.
"She stopped the other lady from picking on her (Diaz)," said Cedric Logan.
"And is it hard, sometimes to step forward and stop someone from picking on another person," Bermudez said.
"Yes, it is," Logan said.
"As leaders, aren't we supposed to do the right thing' Aren't we supposed to show personal courage when we see something that is not right'" Bermudez asked.
"Yes," said the entire class.
In the second skit, Bermudez caught Diaz stealing from Blue's book bag. When confronted by Bermudez, Diaz said she was trying to get back at Blue for picking on her.
"Is that how we should handle this situation' Do two wrongs ever make a right," Bermudez asked'
"No," said the class in unison.
"You have to stand up for yourself and what you know to be right," said Bermudez. "When I was younger, my friends sometimes wanted to do things that I didn't think were right. I told them I wouldn't do those things. I stood up for myself - I respected myself and my values. I lost a few folks I thought were friends, but they weren't really friends if they couldn't support me in my decision."
After the conference, the NCOs were asked about working with the students.
"I feel like I was able to make a strong and positive impact on those very young, impressionable minds," Bermudez said. "I do believe that the time I shared with them truly will make a great difference in the choices they make in life. To see the smiles on their faces and to see that they were actually listening to me makes me feel really good."
"As a former teacher, I love to interact with children in general. But, when you're able to grab their attention and reach them it is truly priceless," Blue said. "We have to keep in mind that we are all have a responsibility to the kids in our community, so whether it's volunteering at the schools, mentoring or just letting the kids vent a little, we all have to take into consideration that being a positive influence could really change a child's life."
Added Sgt. Maj. Doucette; "helping kids today understand the importance of learning the basic skills in school will greatly enhance their chances of success."
The Army didn't invent its seven core values, but the Soldiers who visited Fountain Elementary School live them every day, and, the NCOs hope the students will practice those values as they matriculate through school and go out into the world.

I need similar frisbees. They don't come online and I've looked around at the few local shops that have absolutely nothing. I would be willing to pay a good price if I could get my hands on one of these, I doubt anybody has one though.
Also, I would alternately be interested in Chains Aviar.
If anybody has any of these in some old boxes or anything let me know. I can work something out to get it.

Benjamin West PRA (October 10, 1738 – March 11, 1820) was an Anglo-American painter of historical scenes around and after the time of the American War of Independence and the Seven Years' War. He was the second president of the Royal Academy in London, serving from 1792 to 1805 and 1806 to 1820. He was offered a knighthood by the British Crown, but declined it, believing that he should instead be made a peer.[1] He said that "Art is the representation of human beauty, ideally perfect in design, graceful and noble in attitude."[2]
Early life[edit]
|Introducing Benjamin West, Royal Academy of Art[1]
|Lecture 7. Benjamin West's Agrippina Landing at Brundisium with the Ashes of Germanicus, 57:08, Yale University
West was born in Springfield, Pennsylvania, in a house that is now in the borough of Swarthmore on the campus of Swarthmore College,[3] as the tenth child of an innkeeper and his wife. The family later moved to Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, where his father was the proprietor of the Square Tavern, still standing in that town. West told the novelist John Galt, with whom, late in his life, he collaborated on a memoir, The Life and Studies of Benjamin West (1816, 1820) that, when he was a child, Native Americans showed him how to make paint by mixing some clay from the river bank with bear grease in a pot. Benjamin West was an autodidact; while excelling at the arts, "he had little [formal] education and, even when president of the Royal Academy, could scarcely spell".[4]
From 1746 to 1759, West worked in Pennsylvania, mostly painting portraits. While West was in Lancaster in 1756, his patron, a gunsmith named William Henry, encouraged him to paint a Death of Socrates based on an engraving in Charles Rollin's Ancient History. His resulting composition, which significantly differs from the source, has been called "the most ambitious and interesting painting produced in colonial America".[5] Dr William Smith, then the provost of the College of Philadelphia, saw the painting in Henry's house and decided to become West's patron, offering him education and, more importantly, connections with wealthy and politically connected Pennsylvanians. During this time West met John Wollaston, a famous painter who had immigrated from London. West learned Wollaston's techniques for painting the shimmer of silk and satin, and also adopted some of "his mannerisms, the most prominent of which was to give all his subjects large almond-shaped eyes, which clients thought very chic".[6] West was a close friend of Benjamin Franklin, whose portrait he painted. Franklin was the godfather of West's second son, Benjamin.
Italian "Grand Tour"[edit]
Sponsored by Smith and William Allen, then reputed to be the wealthiest man in Philadelphia, West traveled to Italy in 1760. In common with many artists architects and lovers of the fine arts at that time he conducted a Grand Tour. West expanded his repertoire by copying works of Italian painters such as Titian and Raphael direct from the originals. In Rome he met a number of international neo-classical artists including German-born Anton Rafael Mengs, Scottish Gavin Hamilton, and Austrian Angelica Kauffman.[7]
In August 1763, West arrived in England,[8] on what he initially intended as a visit on his way back to America.[8] In fact, he never returned to America. He stayed for a month at Bath with William Allen, who was also in the country, and visited his half-brother Thomas West at Reading at the urging of his father. In London he was introduced to Richard Wilson and his student Joshua Reynolds.[9] He moved into a house in Bedford Street, Covent Garden. The first picture he painted in England Angelica and Medora, along with a portrait of General Monckton,[10] and his Cymon and Iphigenia, painted in Rome, were shown at the exhibition in Spring Gardens in 1764.
In 1765 he married Elizabeth Shewell, an American to whom he became engaged in Philadelphia, at St Martin-in-the-Fields.[11]
Dr Markham, then Headmaster of Westminster School, introduced West to Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke,[12] Thomas Newton, Bishop of Bristol, James Johnson, Bishop of Worcester, and Robert Hay Drummond, Archbishop of York. All three prelates commissioned work from him.[13] In 1766 West proposed a scheme to decorate St Paul's Cathedral with paintings. It was rejected by the Bishop of London, but his idea of painting an altarpiece for St Stephen Walbrook was accepted.[14] At around this time he also received acclaim for his classical subjects, such as Orestes and Pylades and The Continence of Scipio.[14][15]
Benjamin West was known in England as the "American Raphael". His Raphaelesque painting of Archangel Michael Binding the Devil is in the collection of Trinity College, Cambridge.[16]
Royal patronage[edit]
Drummond tried to raise subscriptions to fund an annuity for West, so that he could give up portraiture and devote himself to entirely to more ambitious compositions. Having failed in this, he tried—with greater success—to convince King George III to patronise West.[17] The king's first commission was a painting of the departure of Regulus from Rome. West was soon on good terms with the king, and the two men conducted long discussions on the state of art in England, including the idea of the establishment of a Royal Academy.[18] The academy came into being in 1768, with West one of the primary leaders of an opposition group formed out of the existing Society of Artists of Great Britain. Joshua Reynolds was its first president.
In 1772, King George appointed him historical painter to the court[19] at an annual fee of £1,000.[11] He painted a series of eight large canvases showing scenes from the life of Edward III for St George's Hall at Windsor Castle,[20] and proposed a cycle of 36 works on the theme of "the progress of revealed religion" for a chapel at the castle, of which 28 were eventually executed.[11] He also painted nine portraits of members of the royal family,[11] including two of the king himself. He was Surveyor of the King's Pictures from 1791 until his death.
The Death of General Wolfe[edit]
He painted his most famous, and possibly most influential painting, The Death of General Wolfe, in 1770 and it exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1771. The painting became one of the most frequently reproduced images of the period. It returned to the French and Indian War setting of his General Johnson Saving a Wounded French Officer from the Tomahawk of a North American Indian of 1768.
West became known for his large scale history paintings, which use expressive figures, colours and compositional schemes to help the spectator to identify with the scene represented. West called this "epic representation". His 1778 work The Battle of the Boyne portrayed William of Orange's victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, and strongly influenced subsequent images of William. In 1806 he produced The Death of Nelson, to commemorate Horatio Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Later religious painting[edit]
St Paul's Church, in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, has an important enamelled stained glass east window made in 1791 by Francis Eginton, modelled on an altarpiece painted c. 1786 by West, now in the Dallas Museum of Art.[21][22] It shows the Conversion of Paul. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1791.[23]
Following a loss of royal patronage at the beginning of the 19th century, West began a series of large-scale religious works. The first, Christ Healing the Sick was originally intended as a gift to a Quaker hospital in Philadelphia; instead he sold it to the British Institution for £3,000, which in turn presented it to the National Gallery.[11][24] West then made a copy to send to Philadelphia. The success of the picture led him to paint a series of even larger works, including his Death on a Pale Horse, exhibited in 1817.[11]
Royal Academy[edit]
Though initially snubbed by Sir Joshua Reynolds, founding President of the Royal Academy, and by some other Academicians who felt he was over-ambitious, West was elected President of the Royal Academy on the death of Reynolds in 1792. He resigned in 1805, to be replaced by a fierce rival, architect James Wyatt. However West was again elected President the following year, and served until his death.
Many American artists studied under him in London, including Ralph Earl, Samuel Morse, Robert Fulton, Charles Willson Peale, Rembrandt Peale, Matthew Pratt, Gilbert Stuart, John Trumbull, Washington Allston, Thomas Sully,[25] John Green, and Abraham Delanoy.[26]
West died at his house in Newman Street, London, on March 11, 1820, and was buried in St Paul's Cathedral.[11]

Trailing 75-74 with 1:26 to play, senior Wes Nordquist stepped to the line and sank both free-throws to give the Beavers the lead back at 76-75. Central then turned the ball over on its ensuing possession, giving BVU a chance to extend the lead. Sophomore Alex Savage did just that, connecting on both of his free-throw attempts for a 78-75 lead with right at 35 seconds left.
A quick layup from the Dutch cut it back down to 78-77 with 24 seconds left, and after a Central timeout, Savage was again fouled and made both attempts at the charity stripe with 21 seconds left.
BVU again got the ball back after another Central turnover, and Savage came through yet again with two more free-throws making it a five-point lead with 12 ticks left. The Dutch did make a three-point bucket with four seconds left to cut the deficit to just two, but junior Michael Kaufmannn joined in and made the two game-clinching free-throws with only two seconds left.
BVU led 37-33 at the half and used a quick 7-0 spurt to start the second half and build an 11-point advantage. That lead was short-lived, however, as the Dutch quickly responded with a 21-9 run to take a 54-53 lead with 13 minutes left in regulation.
Central continued to stay in front until senior Troy Ticknor buried a three-pointer to give the Beavers a 61-60 cushion with 9:18 left. The game was tight the rest of the way with seven ties in the half.
The first half was equally as close with 16 lead changes. BVU's six-point lead with four minutes left in the period was the largest lead of the half by either side.
Darrow made 6-of-11 shots from the field and 6-of-9 from the free-throw line. Nordquist fell a rebound shy of his 11th double-double of the year, but his nine boards did send him past 800 career rebounds, making him just the second player in school history to reach 1,400 career points and 800 career rebounds. He finished the game shooting 6-of-16 from the field and making four of his six free-throws.
Savage, who went 6-of-6 at the charity stripe followed with 12 points and two assists off the bench, as Ticknor made a team-leading three long range buckets to chip in with 11 points. Kaufmann dished out a team-leading four assists.
Defensively, BVU forced 18 turnovers and out-rebounded the Dutch 34-33. The Beavers committed just nine turnovers, while dishing out 17 assists.
The win moves BVU to 12-5 overall and 4-2 in league play and just one game back of Wartburg and Luther in the IIAC standings, as both the Knights and Norse each suffered their first IIAC losses.

Remember that on the set location sound recordists are preoccupied with recording the best dialog possible. They're armed with very focused shotgun microphones that hone in on one area. It makes sense then that the other production sounds, such as a door closing, putting a glass down, or hanging up a telephone, will naturally be off access to the microphones, and maybe a little dull. Sweetening is the process of making these dull recordings come to life. You can use sound effects to give dimension and weight to sonic events that were recorded on the set but are a little flat sounding.
Here we're going not sweeten the coffee cup sounds in this scene. Let's watch the scene. (paper shuffling) (coffee cup clinking) (Character: Hi Charlie.) So there are two sounds we're going to work on there. He takes a sip of coffee, which we can barely hear, and he puts the cup down, which we could make a little more exciting. So I've dropped in some markers already to indicate where these two sound effects need to go. So first, we're going to locate the sound effects. Then we're going to look at some different ways to sync them to the events.
Let me use the DigiBase Browser to find first the coffee sip. Option+Semicolon or Alt+Semicolon to bring that up. So here I'm going to search specifically in my directory by clicking the Search tool on the left, and I'm going to look for 'coffee sip'. So there's a coffee sip.wav file; let's take a listen to it and see if it will work. (sipping sound) That sounds good. So now I'm just going to drag it loosely and drop it somewhere on an effect track below.
So I can get back to the Edit window. So the first thing I'm going to want to do before I sync the effect is actually edit the head of the region so that it starts right on the sip sound. So I use F6 to get my Trimmer tool and drag right up to the beginning of that sound. And the next thing I can do is use these markers to get my cursor in the right location. So there, I clicked on the marker and my cursor went right to that spot. Now I'm going to use a quick key to snap this region right to that location. I'll hit F8 to get my Grabber tool and Ctrl or Windows on a PC, click on the region, and the region snaps right to that location.
That's a really easy way to sync up a region. If the head of the region needs to go to a specific location, you can put your cursor there and Ctrl+Click on it with the Grabber tool, and it snaps right to that spot. Let's take a listen. (sipping sound) That looks pretty well. Now the next sound effect we're going want to attack is the coffee cup down. (coffee cup clinking) (Character: Hi Charlie.) So that's the production track. It's not as exciting as it could be. Let's first, again, find that sound. Go back to the DigiBase Browser, and this time we're going to search on cup down, and there's a couple of Cup Down sounds.
Let's listen to one of them. (coffee cup clinking) Okay, that will work. So again, I'm just going to drag it loosely into my track and close the browser. Now this sound is a little different than the sip sound, because you can see there's some sound that happens at the head of the region, and then there is the sound that you could actually use to sync up, and there's some sound after. So in this case we want to use something called the sync point to make a sync point right where the actual action occurs, but we want to keep what's before that sync point. So if I click into this region, I can use a feature called Tab to Transient in Pro Tools, and then I will get the cursor located right to the first transient event.
So Tab to Transient you can turn on and off on the top of the Edit window. Make sure that button is blue. And now if I hit Tab, it'll take us right to the transient event that's nearest where our cursor was. So right there is right where I start to hear some sound of the cup going down. So that seems like a good place to drop a sync point. To do that, we'll hit Command+Comma, which is also Ctrl+Comma on a Windows system. So a little green triangle appears at the bottom of that region. That's our sync point.
Now if I zoom out a little bit, I can again get the cursor right to the location we want to drop that sync point to, which is where the cup-down occurs. So we're going to use Spot mode to do this, and to use Spot mode, we need to know the exact time code. So before I do this, let's look up at the main Time Code reading and find that it's at 1 hour, 9 seconds, and 14 frames. So let's keep that in mind, go to Spot mode, click the Grabber tool, click on the region, and we'll type in where it says Sync Point, 01 hour, 09, and 14 frames.
I'm going to hit OK. The region will slide right to that location, and Pro Tools put that sync point right on that mark. Now let's see how that sounds together with the original track. (coffee cup clinking) (Character: Hi Charlie.) That sounds pretty good. I can hear by itself. (coffee cup clinking) Just to make sure and let's play them together again. (coffee cup clinking) (Character: Hi Charlie.) Great! Another way to sync a region with a sync point without using the Spot mode to specific location is to use a key command.
So let me move this off a little bit again, and again, I'm going to get the cursor to the location I want to move it to, and here I'm going to use Ctrl+Shift+Clicking once with the mouse on the Grabber tool; that automatically spots the sync point to that location. So that's a real quick way, instead of going into Spot mode and typing in numbers, where you can snap a region right to a location. So one more technique I want to show you for sound effects is that you might want to use some EQ to even heighten the impact of some of these sounds.
For this, you can use the equalizing capabilities of the AudioSuite. So let's go into the AudioSuite, and we'll choose the 7-Band EQ. And here I'm going to make this Cup Down sound a little brighter, so basically I'm just going to go in and give it some high end there on the top there. Now before I process this, I want to keep my old version, so I'm going to make another playlist. Just go into the Track Playlist pulldown menu. I'm going to click Duplicate and hit OK.
And let's preview this and see what it sounds like. (coffee cup clinking) So it's a little brighter. I can even push it even more. (coffee cup clinking) That's great! Hit Process, and we have our EQ'd region, and let's hear it in context. (coffee cup clinking) (Character: Hi Charlie) Great! Now remember, if I ever wanted to go back to the original one, I can always go back to the previous playlist and hear the original region before it was processed. So, playlists are a useful way to keep your older versions intact. Using sound effects to strengthen and give dimensionality to the sound is a great way to motivate narrative storytelling.
These tips should help you sweeten audio and add hard effects quickly and efficiently.

When was the last time Hollywood gave us a drug dealer as a hero, as comic relief in a drama?
Here is Harling Mays, lifelong pal of substance-abusing pilot Whip Whitaker, the comical candy man whose every entrance signifies emotional rescue, good times and "just say yes" in Flight.
"Just say yes," laughs John Goodman, who plays Harling. "No way I'm owning that."
Flight stars Denzel Washington as the pilot who acts heroically and saves many lives after his plane has a catastrophic mechanical failure. The guy flunks his drug test after the crash. Harling is the guy who can ease his pain, get his edge back — with pharmaceuticals.
Credit the director, Robert Zemeckis, who scores Harling's entrance with the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." Credit the screenplay, which sees Harling as an uncomplicated character in a movie full of moral ambiguity. And credit Goodman, the lovable big man who decided "Harling is stuck in another era" and gave him the clothes, the shades and the ponytail, via hair extensions, to match.
Perhaps only Goodman, who like screenwriter John Gatins has had sobriety issues, could give Harling the credibility and lovability that make the character work and whose contribution has helped Flight become one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year.
Goodman is having quite the fall. He's in Trouble With the Curve, playing a baseball head scout sympathetic to Clint Eastwood's crusty, nearly blind vet of his staff.
As John Chambers, Goodman is the Oscar-winning makeup artist and comical-cynical Hollywood insider who helps the CIA set up a fake film production to free Americans trapped in Iran in the critical and box-office smash Argo.
Screenwriter Gatins says that Goodman, like Washington, masterfully puts flesh and blood on a character designed to create unease in the audience for Flight.
Washington and Goodman, Gatins says, give audiences inclined to see such characters in stark terms "pause. And that's what I hope people are arguing about when they leave the theater."

Used furniture and antiques are quite affordable collectible items for collectors, or general buyers. Used furniture may be considered an inexpensive option for those looking for complete renovation of their home furnishing, or new homemakers aspiring for dream decor without investing much. In Clarkston, used furniture is also a smart option for students and home office makers for whom the functional aspect of furniture is more important than its aesthetic appeal. Quality, design and overall style are the major aspects on which used furniture are to be assessed. Such furniture can be reused by removing the stains, changing the upholstery or restoring a small missing part.
Embassy sales with majestic Victorian style collectibles, lamps, rugs and mattresses, and much more, Garage sales, secondhand stores, auctions, flea markets, antique fairs and charity shops are some of the potent grounds in Clarkston to look for good used furniture.

Multiyear Effort
Why Now?
Recently an engaged couple told me
that they weren't having a Catholic
wedding ceremony because they
thought the Catholic Church, with all
its requirements, makes it too hard to
get married. "I should hope so," I
replied, "because marriage is hard."
What I didn't tell them was that I
don't think the Church does such a
good job at helping people stay married.
My husband, Mark, and I will be
married 13 years this August. Before
we got married, we took the FOCCUS
assessment, met with a married couple
in our parish, attended an Engaged Encounter
weekend, and met with our
parish priest and the priest who was
officiating at our wedding. We and the
Church put a lot of energy into getting
our marriage off to a good start.
But that day in 1995 after we said "I
do" and walked back down the aisle
was the last time we heard anything
from the Church concerning our marriage.
Sure, I know there are programs
available such as Marriage Encounter to
help couples maintain their relationship.
But with three kids, a weekend
retreat for Mark and me is just not feasible.
Desirable? Yes. Feasible? No.
If the U.S. bishops have their way,
though, married couples soon won't
have any excuses for not fostering their
marriages. That's because the bishops
are currently right in the middle of an
all-out push to help married couples—not just Catholics—strengthen and
grow their marriages.
Beginning in November 2004, the U.S.
bishops embarked on a multiyear project
known as the National Pastoral Initiative
for Marriage (NPIM). Its purpose
is to communicate "the meaning and
value of married life for the Church
and society." In short, the bishops want
to bring "Catholic belief into dialogue
with contemporary needs."
The initiative consists of three phases,
the first being research and consultation
which occurred between 2005 and
2007. In 200 focus groups conducted in
64 dioceses, the bishops consulted married
couples in every stage of married
life. Summaries of these focus groups are
available at www.usccb.org/npim.
The second phase—from 2007
through 2008—is focused on communication,
and will include a pastoral
letter which is currently being written.
In 2007, a series of TV ads, billboards
and the Web site www.foryourmarriage.org were launched as a
means of publicizing the initiative.
And finally, from 2008 to 2011, the
bishops will focus on implementation,
development of pastoral resources and
evaluation of the program.
When he first introduced the initiative
to the bishops in November 2004,
Bishop J. Kevin Boland of Savannah
said, "As leaders of the Catholic Church
in the United States, we can help to
create a positive climate that places
healthy marriages at the heart of strong
families, a strong nation, and a strong
and holy Church. This is a pastoral
moment we should seize upon."
And seize the moment they have.
The initiative is now under the watchful
eye of Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of
Louisville, who has headed the bishops'
Committee on Marriage and Family
since 2005. Last year he said, "Healthy
marriages are the bedrock of our
Church and our society. The Church
seeks to do all it can to encourage what
goes into a solid marriage: prayer,
fidelity, commitment and the little
things that count."
To say that the bishops' initiative is
comprehensive is an understatement.
But is it too much, too late?
Don't get me wrong: I think the initiative
is a great idea. In fact, when I
first checked out the For Your Marriage
Web site, I found myself quickly immersed.
An hour passed before I realized
how long I'd been on the site. It's
loaded with informative articles, daily
tips, video clips and even fun little
quizzes—with a new one each month—
that couples can take together. And for
those who think the Church is seriously
lacking in the fun category, yes,
some of the tips and quizzes—such as
how well do you know your spouse's
past—are actually fun.
So I guess my only question would
be, what took so long? The divorce rate
peaked in 1980. I know the Catholic
Church is not known for its expediency
on things, but why wasn't an initiative
like this fast-tracked in the face
of those numbers?
According to The National Marriage
Project: The State of Our Unions 2004,
the projected rate of divorce still stands
at around 50 percent.
For the past 18 years there's been a
steady decline in the number of
divorces, but that has been attributed
to a number of factors, especially the
fact that people just aren't getting married
and are choosing to live together
instead. One thing's for sure, though:
That decline certainly wasn't because of
anything proactive the Church was
Having said that, I don't want to get
caught up in this initiative's timing.
The fact is the bishops are on the ball
now and have put quite an effort into
this initiative. And in the process
they've raised some questions, learned
some things, started a discussion and
posed a very good question that all
married couples—from newlyweds to
those celebrating 50-plus years—should
think about: What have you done for
your marriage lately?—S.H.B.

What's in it for us? We're supported by advertisers. The ads on our site enable us to make this service free for you, the consumer. Rest assured Credit Karma is truly a pro-consumer site interested in helping you manage healthy finances and healthy credit at NO COST to you.
Dear Credit Karma,
How often do scores change?
Credit scores can change at any time, depending on when your credit report is updated and what new information is added to your report. Any derogatory or positive action that deals with your credit lines such as an auto loan, credit card, mortgage, business loans, joint accounts, etc has the potential to change your credit score at any time.
Since every person's credit report is unique, it's difficult to tell when exactly a credit score will change; a late payment on a credit report may immediately ding your credit score, while it may take months of on-time payments to reflect positively in your credit score. The frequency of updates to your credit report, which is what your credit score is comprised of, varies between the credit bureau and the lender. In most cases, you can expect your creditors and lenders to report new balances, payment activity, credit limit changes, or late payment information to the credit bureaus every 30 days. For that reason, it is a good idea to check your credit score for accuracy at least once a month.
Dear Credit Karma,
What exactly is the Credit Report Card?
The Credit Report Card is a snapshot of your credit report that helps you better understand the key components impacting your credit score.
While a credit report shows all the details of your credit history, it's often unclear to consumers how their credit history and behavior results in the credit score they have or how to improve their credit health. So Credit Karma developed the Credit Report Card to help consumers easily understand their credit score and identify areas they need to improve on by providing comparative metrics against other Credit Karma members.
The Credit Report Card has seven metrics based on components of your credit report, and gives you a grade from A-F with details to show you how your grade is determined and how it measures up to other members. For example, you might get an A on your overall credit utilization metric because, as the Credit Report shows you, you keep your credit utilization under 30% (recommended ratio of credit use to total credit).
It is important to understand that the letter grades are determined by average score of users within each range. This does not mean that all users with a D or F in one particular metric will have a low credit score, but that *on average* users within that range have a lower credit score.
Keep in mind that the credit grade that Credit Karma has determined will help you evaluate your credit health, but won't actually affect your score. It's a great, easy-to-understand way to look at your credit behavior and tackle your credit issues to polish up your credit score.
Submit a question now, and maybe Credit Karma will answer your question on our next Q & A blog post!

UPDATE: Assault charge dismissed in 2011 Occupy Dallas fight between members of movement
A 2011 charge against an Occupy Dallas protester accused of assaulting a fellow member of the movement has been dismissed, according to public records.
Stephen Benavides was arrested in November for allegedly assaulting Glynn Wilcox, a group adviser. In an interview following the arrest, Benavides acknowledged that a heated discussion turned physical and he said he apologized to Wilcox.
In April, however, the Dallas County District Attorney's office filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Benavides "in the interest of justice," the records said.
That motion was granted in May.
Benavides is the same Occupy Dallas protester who earlier that month was shoved by a Dallas police officer during a downtown protest. The officer was disciplined after a video surfaced online showing him push Benavides apparently without provocation.
Police also arrested Benavides that day on charges that he assaulted a different officer and for resisting arrest.
Prosecutors ultimately reduced the more serious assault on a public servant charge in that case to resisting arrest, to which Benavides pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to six months of deferred probation and given a $500 fine, according to public records.
ORIGINAL POST: Nov 16, 2011 @ 12:14 P.M.:
A heated political discussion amid Occupy Dallas leaders over the direction of the movement turned physical Tuesday night outside a Deep Ellum restaurant, according to a Dallas police report.
Glynn Wilcox, a group adviser, said Stephen Benavides (right) assaulted him outside BuzzBrews in the 2800 block of Commerce Street. (Read the full police report below.)
Wilcox told reporter Roy Appleton this morning that protest leaders have been trying to keep the local movement nonviolent.
"Stephen's actions are outside of that," Wilcox said, adding that Benavides has said he believes Occupy Dallas is too soft and conciliatory with the city.
Benavides, whose brother was murdered last month, told me this morning that he hasn't dealt properly with all that's gone on in his life the past few weeks. He said he has apologized to Wilcox for the attack, which happened during a heated argument about the future of the Occupy Dallas movement.
"One thing led to another, he turned and pushed me a little bit, he got in my face, he was yelling, I was yelling at him and the situation escalated a little bit to where it became physical," Benavides said. "The police report is fairly accurate, but the response is because of these guys stealing the movement away from the people."
Among those who were at the restaurant at the time is Jonathan Winocour, the attorney for Occupy Dallas who has been leading the group's court battles with the City of Dallas. Winocour said this afternoon that he did not witness the incident.
Benavides is the same member of the movement who was arrested earlier this month on charges he assaulted a police officer. Days after his arrest, a video surfaced that appears to show another officer shoving Benavides to the ground off of a planter outside the Bank of America building downtown.

A grant from CapCityKids has enabled our school to fulfill the dream of educating every child who walks through these doors. The funding of a math specialist has supported our efforts to raise the achievement level of our homeless and at-risk students. Students and their families gain hope when school becomes a successful experience. In turn, the likelihood increases that these young people will stay in school-and break the cycle of homelessness.
The mission and accomplishments of CapCityKids inspired me to take a more active role in the organization. When asked to serve on the Board, I enthusiastically agreed!

PORTSMOUTH — Accused of committing a masked home invasion, when he clubbed two people with a baseball bat, a Maine man was indicted by a Rockingham County grand jury on seven felony counts of first degree assault, a felony count of burglary, and a felony alleging his possession of cocaine.
Terrence Hartley, 47, of 179 Tardiff Road, Clinton, was indicted for the charges by a Rockingham County Superior Court grand jury earlier this month, according to court records. The indictments allege that early on Sept. 22, Hartley forced his way into a Suzanne Drive home with the intention of committing an assault.
Using a metal baseball bat as "a deadly weapon," Hartley struck a woman in the hand, left thigh and right knee with the metal bat, three of the indictments allege. According to an affidavit by officer Chris Worthington, when he responded to the home, he found the woman lying on her back with injuries on both legs and her hand.
Four of the indictments allege Hartley used the metal bat to club the male homeowner on his back, ear, thumb and knee.
One of the victims told police the masked man ran off after the assaults and a police K-9 team was called in to track for the suspect, the officer's report states. Another officer found a suspect matching the description of the alleged assailant, saw blood on his leather jacket, then took him into custody, the police report states.
The assailant was identified as Hartley, found to be in possession of cocaine and his relationship to the female victim was established, according to the police report.
The indictments mean the grand jury found enough evidence to take the case to trial.
Police have not disclosed a motive for the alleged attacks, but court records indicate the female victim is Hartley's former sister-in-law. During Hartley's Sept. arraignment, the male victim was described by police prosecutor David Colby as the woman's "new friend."
Colby said during the arraignment that Hartley's criminal history includes convictions for aggravated felonious sexual assault, two domestic assaults, and probation violation. He said Hartley is also facing a pending charge alleging he failed to register as a sex offender.
Hartley is being held on $150,000 cash-only bail.

Actor Mark Wahlberg said a sequel to "The Fighter" might be in the works, picking up where the original left off and including the trilogy of epic fights that made Micky Ward into a boxing legend.
"I'm trying to plant the idea in everyone's head that we should do — not five or six "Fighters" like "Rocky" — but one more, because the big thing Micky Ward was famous for was his three epic battles with Arturo Gatti," Wahlberg told collider.com. "So we're talking about possibly taking one more run at it."
Wahlberg, who portrayed Ward in the original, said he believes the original cast would happily return for a sequel.
"Everybody had such an amazing experience making the movie that I can't imagine they wouldn't want to go back," he said. "But it's still kind of in the early stages."
Melissa Leo and Christian Bale won Oscars for their roles in "The Fighter," and Amy Adams earned a nomination.
Wahlberg currently is in New Orleans shooting "Contraband," an action thriller that will co-star Kate Beckinsale, Ben Foster, Diego Luna, Lukas Hass and Giovanni Ribisi.

On Sperm Banks and the Law (Lots of Law)
Someday law professors might make hay out of this decision, handed down last week, about a 13 year-old girl who was allowed to sue a sperm bank for failing to detect that a sperm donor had a genetic defect. The decision has it all: tort law, contract law, family law — with some instructive civil procedure lessons (Statute of Limitations! Choice of Law!) thrown in for good measure.
In his 23-page opinion in Donovan v. Idant Laboratories, Philadelphia federal district court Judge Thomas O'Neill cleared the way for a 13-year-old mentally retarded girl from Pennsylvania to bring tort and contract claims against a New York sperm bank. The theory: the sperm used to conceive her had a defect known as "Fragile X," a mutation known to cause a syndrome of maladies that include mental retardation and behavioral disorders.
O'Neill, however, dismissed all claims brought by her mother, Donna Donovan, after finding that the statute of limitations had long expired because the test done over a decade ago showed that the sperm donor was the source of the Fragile X genetic defect in her daughter. Brittany Donovan's claims, however, are still viable, O'Neill found, because the Pennsylvania Minors Tolling Statute provides that the clock does not begin to run until two years after the minor reaches the age of 18.
But the plaintiffs' lawyer won the much more significant legal battle over which state's laws should apply — Pennsylvania's or New York's.
For a case involving sperm, the differences between Pennsylvania and New York tort law are significant. Both states have enacted so-called "blood shield statutes" that prohibit products liability suits stemming from blood or blood products.
But while Pennsylvania's blood shield statute includes human tissues other than blood, New York's statute includes only blood and its derivatives.
O'Neill found that there was a "true conflict" between the laws of the two states because "semen is not a blood derivative," and Brittany Donovan would therefore have a valid cause of action under New York law, but not under Pennsylvania law.
The plaintiffs' had argued that New York law should apply because New York's interest in regulating its corporations outweighed Pennsylvania's interest in providing redress for wrongs committed against one of its citizens.

We study the impact of risk on mutual fund flows. Consistent with prior literature, we find evidence that net flows show aversion to risk. We show, however, that gross inflows and outflows are positively related to risk. While this result appears rational for outflows, it appears anomalous for inflows. We find that inflows are positively related to idiosyncratic risk, rather than systematic risk, and that institutional investors and incumbent investors are less susceptible to this behavior. Our results extend a growing body of evidence that finds certain investors making sub-optimal investment decisions, such as buying past winners, regardless of risk.

Gavin is at such a cute age. I was hanging out with him in the living room one day while Cara was getting ready and he kept running over to the hallway and yelling "Mamma! Mamma!" after Cara. I would successfully distract him for a few minutes, then he would lose interest and sneak away to yell for her some more. I can't wait for Rowan to call me Mama, all in due time I suppose. I had a hard time picking my favorite of Cara and Gavin, but I think one captures the joy of a 14 month old best.

Portrait #21: Old Friends
One of my oldest friends came to visit recently. Cara and I have been friends since grade school; something like 20 years now! Her youngest son Gavin is 7 months older than Rowan. We sat them down together for a little photo shoot and the results are pretty hilarious. I had a hard time choosing one as they are each quirky in their own unique way. This particular one made Ian and I laugh the longest and hardest. They make such cute little buddies; from old friends come new friends!
I couldn't resist, a few more outtakes...

Posted by Lauren_Doran at 9:47 AM No comments:
Portrait #18: Me Da
Growing up I often wondered where I came from, where I fit in. As a strong willed/self indulgent/myopic teenager I felt my creativity and wanderlust were completely out of place and unique in my family. In the years since, I have come to know my parents as people. When I learned of my maternal grandmother's travels my desire to travel became a family legacy instead of a freakish urge. My father and I have always been alike; we are calm, reserved, steady yet questioning. In recent years he began writing poetry and I realized that we share something beyond personality traits; the desire to create.
During a summer in Ireland I attended an art exhibition; The Fantastic in Irish Art. One of the artists believed that the Irish were an inherently spiritual and creative people. I loved this idea and thought about my own creative wellspring being connected to this deep and vast aquifer; an aquifer my father's well pulls from too.

Portrait #16: My Mother
I usually read to Rowan before naps and bedtime. He seems to enjoy it unless he is overtired and cranky. We both have our favorites- he likes In My Den with a little bear cub that I move around while reading to him. I like one called My Mother is Mine. It is illustrated with soft pastel drawings of animal mothers and babies and describes a mother:
My mother is soft
My mother is strong
My mother watches me long and long
My mother is pretty
My mother is brave
My mother still loves me when I misbehave
I hope Rowan will one day think such things of me. It is very likely he will think these thoughts as a child, but what will he think when he is an adult?
I recently asked my mother to sit for some portraits which made her squirm in discomfort. She hates photographs of herself, though I am not sure why. I think she is beautiful. I also think she is forgiving and amazingly strong. In crisis or tough times I am glad my mother is mine.

Hearing held for rezoning of Jefferson County wetlands
January 14, 2013
CHARLES TOWN — Just more than a mile west of Charles Town lies the habitat of many plants and creatures so unique that the Nature Conservancy of West Virginia makes sure those species and their home......
there is nothing so simple that Dale Manuel can't skru it up. Tell them about route 9 and Bill Mims and the state line deal. Then explain how you are not a tree hugger in a "concerned elected official"'s body.

Don't know why they're bothering. It's a sad, but true statement that, with the exception of a few bunny huggers, nobody in West Virginia really gives a crap about the environment. They'll care when all the coal is gone, the mountaintops are all stripped, the trees are dead, the water irrevocably poisoned, and the fish are all dead. But what the heck - we'll all be dead and gone before that happens.

Zoning can be a good thing if done without the political cronyism like the way it was attempted when it was voted down. How can you justify when an adjoining property is zoned for a lower tax class and would be allowed to have low income housing built next to your property which was zoned for the highest tax bracket just because some of the county commissioners were in favor of the low housing plans of the property owner. Guess what that would have done to our home values.

eed017, Yes, that is true. And I've always been someone who see both side of that issue. However once you give up your rights for sake of peace of mind, so often you lose both.

The problem with the lack of zoning is that anyone (like a firing range or moto-track) can move next door to your property and create all sorts noise, traffic, and other nuisances. Your property becomes next to worthless and there's precious little you can do.

The problem with zoning is that it never stops with the initial ordinance that most people support enough to vote for. It is then modified to the point it does what wvu2422 is referring to and becomes overly restrictive as to infringe upon the individual's rights. As far as the marsh in question is concerned, leave it alone. It's fine the way it is.

Memoirist Dilue Rose Harris was born April 28, 1825. Above is the Dilue Rose Harris House Museum in Columbus
On this date in 1825, memoirist Dilue Rose Harris was born in St. Louis, Mo.
She and her family came to Texas in 1833. She made bullets for men going to the Alamo and was in the Runaway Scrape.
After the war, she moved to Bray's Bayou, near Houston. She married Ira A. Harris in 1839. They lived in Houston until 1845, then moved to Columbus.
An acquaintance of the leaders of the Republic of Texas, Harris published her memoirs in the Quarterly of the Texas State Historical Association when she was 74. Those served as a primary source for early Texas history.
She died in Eagle Lake in 1914.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A judge has refused to issue a gag order against the Richland County sheriff in the case of a missing teen.
An attorney for the man charged with kidnapping the teen asked for the gag order after Sheriff Leon Lott called the suspect a monster and saying that Freddie Grant made him sick to his stomach.
Judge DeAndrea Benjamin's order Wednesday did warn the sheriff and others they need to follow rules of professional conduct that say statements by law enforcement need to be limited to informing the public or explaining law enforcement action to ensure the defendant's right to a fair trial.
Gabrielle Swainson hasn't been seen since her mother left for work on Aug. 18.

The company is now focusing on technical collaboration with international partners to increase its foothold in the manufacture of engines for four wheelers and construction equipment. It is also giving serious consideration to expanding its low cost and high margin after sales services business segment. The stock price, however, currently trades near its 52-week low, factoring in the negative sentiment and margin pressures.
Engineers India is one of the leading engineering consultancy companies of the country. While consultancy is the company's core business, it is gradually establishing itself as a complete turnkey EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) solutions provider. For EIL, its high-margin consultancy business has significantly helped the company post better margins than its peers.

Goblin Market
by Christina Rossetti
Stanza 10 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 215-218
At length slow evening came:
They went with pitchers to the reedy brook;
Lizzie most placid in her look,
Laura most like a leaping flame.
- That evening, Laura and Lizzie head down to the brook to fill their "pitchers" with water.
- Lizzie is calm, or "placid," as usual, but Laura's all hot and bothered, like "a leaping flame."
Lines 219-227
They drew the gurgling water from its deep;
Lizzie pluck'd purple and rich golden flags,
Then turning homeward said: "The sunset flushes
Those furthest loftiest crags;
Come, Laura, not another maiden lags.
No wilful squirrel wags,
The beasts and birds are fast asleep."
But Laura loiter'd still among the rushes
And said the bank was steep.
- After they've gathered the water they need, Lizzie pauses to pick some flowers ("flags" are a kind of flower).
- Lizzie also takes the time to notice the beautiful sunset – it makes the distant "crags," or cliffs, glow.
- Then Lizzie reminds Laura that it's time to go in. They're the last "maidens" out, and it's not good for young women to loiter by the brook after sunset.
- Even the "squirrel[s]," "beasts and birds" have all gone in for the night.
- Laura's not interested in the sunset, the flowers, or the "beasts and birds." She can't see the details Lizzie appreciates anymore.
- Laura "loiters" along the stream, making up excuses for staying. She says the "bank" of the brook is too "steep" to climb back up with the pitcher of water.

By Chris Larsen
Big rivers like the Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri can be daunting for anglers fishing them for the first time. One of the best river patterns to fish is wing dams. Wing dams are man made structures built to keep the river channels deep for barge traffic and limit shoreline erosion. Many were built by the Army Corps of Engineers with boulders, rip rap, rubble, and rock. Some are marked by buoys, but most can be easily identified by ripples on top of the water.
While motoring down a river channel, look to the sides for a line of ripples running perpendicular to the shoreline. Anchor your boat upstream from the wing dam and cast into it. Professional walleye angler, Tommy Skarlis, advises fishing the upstream side of a wing dam. "This is their dining room. The backside of a wing dam has restricted current flow too but I would refer the backside of almost every wing dam as their bedroom. That's where they sleep. You might mark a ton of fish on the backside of a wing dam and you can catch them occasionally. But when it's game on or time to eat they are on the front side of the wing dam."
One thing to keep in mind while looking for wing dams is to stay in the channel. The worst way to find a wing dam is with the lower unit of your outboard. Some wing dams are just a foot or two below the surface. The best wing dams to fish are three or four feet below the surface. These wing dams will have larger scour holes, or low current resting areas. The scour hole is where walleyes wait for meals to fall in front of them.
Wing dam walleyes are feeding. If you fish a wing dam for more than 20 or 30 minutes with no results, it's best to move on to the next. If the scour hole fills up with sediment it won't hold fish. One of the more popular ways to fish wing dams is with jigs. Some anglers like three way rigs, but it's a matter of preference. Anchor the boat 20-30 yards upstream of the wing dam and cast toward it. Let the jig fall short of the wing dam and allow the current to take it into the scour hole. Wing dam walleyes are aggressive and the bite is usually unmistakable.
Crankbaits are another popular lure for wing dam walleyes. Some anglers will troll over wing dams with planer boards but casting is the most popular method. Again, anchor the boat upstream of the wing dam. However, with crankbaits you want to cast over the wing dam and reel the bait over it. Divers like the Lindy Shadling and Shad Rap are best in these situations. Rebel Bombers are also popular. Your looking for a bait that can get into the strike zone quickly. You should feel the bait bounce off the rocks and then into open water. That split second after your bait clears the rocks is where most strikes will occur.
Fishing wing dams for walleyes is one of the most effective ways to catch big numbers of trophy river walleyes. It is a productive strategy almost all year long. The best part is that you really don't need that much knowledge of the river to locate and catch them.

The Lamoille County Sheriff's Department said a woman died in a crash on Route 15 Monday afternoon.
Deputies said Christine Haley, 30, of Cambridge, was pronounced dead on the scene around 3:30 p.m.
Investigators said it appears Haley crossed the centerline, colliding with a commercial dump truck. They said the driver of the truck, David Whitcomb, 50, of Elmore, attempted to swerve out of the way.
The road was closed for more than six hours, deputies said. No one else was hurt, they said.
Anyone who may have seen the accident and who has yet to contact the department is requested to do so at 802-888-3502.

I would really appreciate hearing from people who have previously used Go2africa. Please feel free to private mail me if you'd prefer.........
We used them, as I think you probably already know. They even fought to get us a partial refund from one of their contractors...and we didn't even ask! I just deposited the sizeable check today!
I recommend them.
Oh my gosh! I cannot rave enought about go2africa.com My husband and I just returned from a 2 week trip to SA, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Everything went perfectly--and we had numerous flights, tranfers, excursions and hotels. Our agent was Ms. Rikke Williams. Give them a try--you won't be sorry. Feel free to e-mail me with any specific questions.
Thanks Barb.
Did I say something wrong?!
OMG - I'm so sorry.....thanks to you CA-vol also! How rude of me....half asleep!
Phew, just making sure. I tend to tick people off, but only on Internet message forums. I guess I don't convey what I am trying to say very well when I'm online, so now I am paranoid about it!
Anybody else used them?
Are you nervous about something in particular?
I'm in the process of chatting with them about an overland tour, and so far they've been extremely helpful. I'll let you know how the deal turns out.
I've done a lot of research and asked quite a few questions, on this forum and on lonely planet's thorn tree forum, and pretty much everyone had good things to say. Almost all people who had even slight issues had them with the tour operator, not with go2africa themselves. So, I highly recommend that whatever agent you choose to work with, you ask what operator will be conducting the tour and do some research on them. This is a bit harder task, as I've found little information on operators (most is on agents).
I'd actually really like it if tripadvisor started a rating section for tour operators like they have for hotels. (Power's that be, are you listening?)
