A Southern Baptist church in Missouri whose pastor is awaiting trial on felony sex charges has been voted out of its local association for failure to report or contribute financially for the last two years.
Lamine Baptist Association voted April 27 to remove both First Baptist Church of Stover, Mo., and another congregation from its membership rolls for non-compliance with the association's constitution and bylaws.
The 100-member congregation located in a rural community on the edge of the Ozark foothills, 50 miles southwest of Jefferson City, drew scrutiny last fall when its 42-year-old pastor, Travis Smith, was charged with forcible rape, statutory rape, sexual abuse and sodomy alleged to have occurred in 1998, 1999 and 2005.
Smith, the church's pastor since 2006, was acquitted of similar charges in 2011. His next court date is May 7 for a status update with a new lawyer after his original counsel was removed from the case.
Rafael Murillo, Lamine Baptist Association's director of missions, said May 2 there was no discussion of the pastor's legal problems when the association removed the Stover church during its regular semi-annual meeting last Saturday at First Baptist Church in Versailles, Mo.
Murillo said the association's credentials committee sent letters to both First Baptist, Stover, and the Church at Osage Hills requesting they come into compliance with a constitutional requirement that churches "be in cooperative support with the programs of the association" in the preceding two years.
Murillo said the Osage Hills church responded that their congregation still identifies with the association, but First Baptist in Stover said its members "no longer feel the association is mission oriented in its use of their financial funding."
The DOM said both churches were invited to reapply "if they comply with the association's constitution and bylaws."
One pastor who attended the meeting — his first in two years – said in a circulated e-mail that the association "has changed attitudes toward the church." One of Smith's staunchest defenders two years ago is now a leading critic, he said, and sentiment is growing to "do something about the problem."
"While they are not addressing the real reason for refusing to seat the messengers, at least they are taking action against a church which has a sex predator for its pastor," the pastor reported.
Lamine Baptist Association's governing documents prohibit the body from exercising "legislative or judicial authority" over any church but reserve the right "to refuse to seat messengers from any church which shows itself to be unorthodox in faith or practice, or which willfully and persistently creates discord by refusing to comply with the spirit of the Constitution and By-Laws."
A Missouri Baptist Convention spokesperson said last fall that state convention officials were "deeply grieved" by the allegations against Smith. The spokesperson said Missouri Baptists "respect the independence of the local church and have no direct authority over it," and that leaders were praying "church members will have the wisdom, grace and courage to act biblically in their dealings with their pastor."
Since October, First Baptist Church in Stover has removed both the Missouri Baptist Convention and Lamine Baptist Association from affiliations listed on the church website, but still lists its affiliation with the Southern Baptist Convention.
The SBC, America's second-largest faith group behind Roman Catholics, says it has no authority to dictate who a local church calls as pastor, though the convention has acted in the past to remove congregations that affirm homosexuality.
The convention's faith statement opposes women being called as senior pastors, but discipline on that issue typically occurs at the associational level rather than the state or national.
Smith stands accused of six felonies involving two different women who were minors when the incidents allegedly occurred. The alleged crimes are all Class C felonies, punishable by up to seven years in prison, with the exception of forcible rape, an unclassified felony that can carry a sentence of up to 30 years.

MMM mmm making turkey gravy with smoked turkey wings with pic... UPDATE
That is a smoked turkey wing that I got at the Market from The Turkey Lady
I m making Roasted turkey gravy with it since I am only doing a turkey breast and I am unsure how much gravy I will be able to make from the drippings. I have made this before and it is wonderful!
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large, smoked turkey wing or 2 small ones
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 ribs celery, chopped
- 1 head garlic, split through the equator
- 4 stems fresh sage
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 6 parsley stems
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken stock
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the wing, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and herbs, and cook for 5 minutes. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place over medium heat. Remove the wing and set aside. Add the flour and let cook for about 1 minute. Add the stock and simmer until it has reduced by about 1/4, about 15 minutes. Strain the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
This was so so good! The smokiness of the turkey wing was not that overpowering at all. I did do some of this ahead of time (last night) and a bit different. I roasted it in the oven per the directions and then added the broth and simmered with the turkey wing still in. I took out the wing and then strained the liquid to remove the herbs and veggies, out the liquid in the fridge overnight. I heated the liquid up today and made a roux that I added the liquid to thicken and added just a touch of heavy cream. So delicious!
This was right before roasting it :)
Good idea. How much of a smoked flavor does the gravy have?
Which I like
Since the turkey breast is an herbed crust on it.
Quoting SweetLuci:

Officers were dispatched to McLaren Bay Region hospital around 3 a.m. this morning, in reference to a 21-year-old man being treated for stab wounds. The victim, who suffered lacerations to his right temple and left bicep, told officers he was walking in the area of 24th and Stanton streets when two men approached him.
One of the men pulled a knife and began stabbing the pedestrian, police report. The injured man was transported to the hospital by a friend.
The victim told police he did not know either of his assailants.
Investigators determined a fight involving multiple people had occurred shortly before the stabbing. Two of those involved left the scene, retrieved the knife and came back for retaliation, police said.
Police said they identified a 20-year-old Bay City man as being the one who brandished the knife. They brought him in for questioning and subsequently arrested him on charges of felonious assault.
The defendant will be arraigned in Bay County District Court Monday afternoon. Police could not release additional details and are asking anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact them at 894-0161 or to call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-422-JAIL.
Saturday night, two men were stabbed during a brawl outside Madison Pub, 1001 S. Madison Ave., also in the South End. Both victims were part of a bachelor party that arrived at the pub on a party bus about an hour before the fight.
Kyle L. Perrou, 24, surrendered to police on Sunday and has been charged with two counts each of assault with intent to cause harm less than murder and assault with a dangerous weapon. Perrou and a friend of his who was present said they were jumped by the bachelor party and only fought back in self-defense, while a member of the party said a friend of Perrou's attacked a member of their group and the two men were stabbed as they attempted to stop the fight.

Lingual localization of lymphangiomas presents a therapeutic challenge mostly because of the lesions' microcystic characteristics, which make complete surgical excision difficult if not impossible, and because of the functional problems they cause (obstruction, pain, feeding problems, edema, jaw deformities, breathing problems, and bleeding). Partial glossectomies have a high rate of relapse and can result in morphological changes in the tongue; sclerosing agents cannot be used on microcystic lesions. The use of several treatments aiming to resurface microcystic lymphatic lingual lesions with hemorrhagic vesicles, including laser and radiofrequency resurfacing (Coblation [cold plus ablation]; ArthroCare ENT, Austin, Texas), has been reported, sometimes with good results.1
Figure 1. Photographs of patient 1 before and after treatment with cold plus ablation (Coblation; ArthroCare ENT, Austin, Texas) and propranolol. A, At 15 months old, before Coblation. B, At 21 months old, 1 month after Coblation. C, At 36 months old, after recurrence of the symptoms. D, At 39 months old, 1 month after propranolol therapy was initiated. E, At 41 months old, 16 days after propranolol therapy was discontinued, with recurrence of bleeding. F, At 56 months old, the final aspect of the tongue 7 months after propranolol therapy was discontinued.
Figure 2. Patient 2 before (A) and after (B) 2 months of propranolol therapy showing disappearance of bleeding and decreased tongue size.The patient also had improvement in feeding difficulties.
Figure 3. Patient 3 before (A) and after (B) 2 months of propranolol therapy showing slight change in tongue coloration, reduced bleeding, and unchanged tongue size.

Juliana Hatfield (Zoë)
Before Alanis Morissette and Liz Phair, there was Hatfield, alternative rock's prototypical angry young woman. Tough but sweet, she cultivated a devoted following as a singer, songwriter and bass player for the Blake Babies in Boston in the late '80s and early '90s. The standout tracks on this, her fourth full-length solo album (on which she plays guitar and keyboards), highlight what she does best: innocent songs about stormy relationships. Trouble is, the once-precocious singer hasn't progressed much, either lyrically or musically, beyond her signature outraged stance. Hatfield can still wield her girlish voice like a stiletto, as she does on "Sneaking Around," a rage-filled account of an adulterous fling, but the song's snide lyrics and languid arrangement don't cut nearly as deep. It's as if Hatfield were still upset with a lover whose name she can't recall, or as she sings on "Bad Day," "I made my bed all by myself/ Now I don't sleep in it so well."

Toyota Debuts 2014 Tundra, Redesigned Avalon And RAV4, At Atlanta International Auto Show
ATLANTA, March 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pickup trucks, SUVs and NASCAR will be the focus of Toyota's displays at the Atlanta International Auto Show this week. Toyota will have more than 25 vehicles, concept cars, NASCAR racers and a wealth of interactive exhibits for auto show attendees to enjoy. In addition, Toyota will debut the new, redesigned 2014 Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck in Atlanta, the first time this new truck will be seen in the Southeast.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130313/CL76737 )
"Atlanta is one of the top drawing consumer auto shows in the Southeast, and it's one of our most important markets – 15 percent of all cars sold here are Toyotas," said Bryan Robinson, area sales manager for Southeast Toyota. "We also know that 'made in America' is especially important to people living here in the South, and we feel we have a great story to tell, especially with the Tundra. In fact, 70 percent of Toyota vehicles sold in the U.S. are built here as well."
A truck with true American roots, the 2014 Tundra is once again designed, engineered and assembled in the U.S. An award winner of the J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study for seven years running in the Full-Size pickup segment, the Texas-built Tundra is redesigned inside and out, featuring chiseled exterior styling and a refined interior with class-leading features. This is the first major change since the launch of the current generation truck for the 2007 model year. Tundra remains the only full-size pickup to adhere to the SAE J2807 towing standard.
Speaking of towing, the Toyota Tundra half-ton pickup marveled the world when it successfully towed the space shuttle Endeavor across a freeway overpass on the way to its new home at the California Science Center. The bridge would not support the weight of the original towing rig and space shuttle. A stock Tundra CrewMax 4x4 with its 5.7-liter iForce V8 easily handled a "lighter" load of nearly 300,000 pounds. The feat has appeared in ads, marketing materials and on bumper stickers proclaiming: "Yeah, it'll tow your boat."
Also at the Atlanta International Auto Show, March 13-17, Toyota's 20,000-square-foot stand will offer a blend of new products available at dealerships and concept vehicles that could provide a glimpse of new automobiles and cutting-edge technologies. Show-goers can test drive the all-new, American-made 2013 Avalon sedan, all-new 2013 RAV4 compact SUV, the current-model Tundra, the Prius C hybrid, and Atlanta's best-selling car, the Toyota Camry, at the Toyota Drive Center.
Drivers can choose one of three charities – the American Red Cross, AMVETS or the National Park Foundation – to receive a donation from Toyota as part of the company's "Drive for A Cause" campaign.
Along with the Tundra, the 4Runner, Highlander, RAV4, Yaris, Avalon, FJ, Tacoma, Camry, Corolla, Sequoia, Sienna, Venza, Prius, Prius V, Prius C and Prius SE will also be highlighted. Drivers can learn more about the new Toyotas on the Toyota I-Wall, Brand Portal and Info Counter.

June 13-16 2006, Moscow, Russia
Center for Civilizational and Regional Studies in cooperation with the Institute for African Studies (both under the Russian Academy of Sciences) is organizing in Moscow on June 20-23 2006 the Forth International Conference "HIERARCHY AND POWER IN THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATIONS".
The First Conference held in Moscow by the Center for Civilizational and Regional Studies in co-operation with the Russian State University for the Humanities in June 2000, brought together over 150 scholars. While the majority of participants were from Russia, others came from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Spain, UK, Ukraine, and the USA. The work of the Conference was organized along 8 panels. Billed as a discussion of 'the general trends and mechanisms of sociocultural evolution and the processes of sociopolitical evolution in their regional and temporary variation', it turned into a series of debates about the relationship between an-thropology and history of the longue durée, with contributions from (and implications for) those work-ing in philosophy, political science, sociology, cultural studies, and related disciplines. The success of the First Conference suggested to its participants an idea to ensure the biannual regularity of further conferences. Furthermore, it was decided to broaden its disciplinary diapason by inviting to participate in the Second Conference not only anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, and sociobiologists, but also political scientists, sociologists, jurists, geographers, and specialists in other related fields aiming at the creating of a world-wide network of scholars concerned with all the possible aspects of the Con-ference's general problematique.
The Second Conference took place in Saint Petersburg in July 2002. The Conference was held jointly by the Center for Civilizational and Regional Studies and the Institute of Oriental Studies (St. Peters-burg Branch). This time the Conference brought together 180 scholars. 93 of them represented research centers and universities of 14 Russian cities while 87 participants came from 30 countries of all the in-habited continents of the Earth: Australia, Austria, Belorus, Canada, China (including Taiwan), Co-lombia, Czech Republic, France, French Polynesia, Georgia, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Ice-land, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Malaysia, Mali, Netherlands, Nigeria, Slovenia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, USA. The work of the Conference was organized along 18 panels. The Conference was supported financially by the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ire-land (London) and the "Uchitel" Publishing House (Volgograd).
The Third Conference was held in Moscow by the Center for Civilizational and Regional Studies in cooperation with the Institute for African Studies (both under the Russian Academy of Sciences) and School of History, Political Science and Law of the Russian State University for the Humanities in June 2004. 189 scholars from 16 cities of Russia and 27 other countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Republic of China, South Africa, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates , United Kingdom, United States) participated in the event. 202 papers were presented at the plenary session, 24 panels, and 1 "round table". The Institute for African Studies, Russian State University for the Humanities, and "Uchitel" Publishing House (Volgograd) supported the Conference financially.
The immediate objective of the Forth Conference is to discuss the following issues:
The working languages of the Conference are Russian and English.
The Organizing Committee will be glad to consider any panel proposals (within 500 words in any of the Conference working languages) which will be received by March 15, 2005. The information to be submitted alongside with the proposal, includes the panel convenor's full name, title, institutional af-filiation, full mail and e-mail addresses, and fax #, as well names, institutional affiliations, and e-mail addresses of not less than two other possible participants of the panel, at least one of which should rep-resent a country other than that of the convenor.
The Organizing Committee will inform the applicants about the results of their panel proposals' con-sideration by April 1, 2005. Besides that, the Organizing Committee reserves the right to establish one or two free communication panels. It is suggested that each of the panels will eventually include about a dozen papergivers, and the list of all the participants is to become known in the beginning of the year 2006 due to the activities of both the Organizing Committee and panel convenors. None of the propos-als may be accepted or rejected on the basis of its submitter's previous academic credentials, ethnic or national origin, sex, or otherwise, but only on the basis of the proposal's relevance to and importance for, the Conference's general problematique. Proposals emphasizing theoretical and cross-regional ap-proaches to the "hierarchy and power" problematique are strongly encouraged. In the case the proposal is accepted, the Organizing Committee will send you the list of documents necessary to support your and your panel participants' visa application process at the Russian Consulate or Embassy in the re-spective countries.
The Conference participant's registration fee is 100 euros (or the equivalent sum in US dollars or Rus-sian rubles) which includes the visa application support at the Russian Foreign Ministry, culture pro-gram, Conference Book of Abstracts, reception, coffee-breaks, is to be paid on the spot upon arrival.

Bright purple. Complex, highly perfumed bouquet of candied red and dark berries, potpourri and Indian spices, with a bright mineral topnote. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering fresh black raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors. Closes with excellent clarity and length, leaving violet and star anise notes behind. This wine's balance and light touch are distinctly Old World in style.

Police made an arrest after a stabbing in Glen Burnie on Friday evening.
Authorities said they were called to the 400 block of Browning Court about 7:15 p.m.
Investigators said a 27-year-old man had been stabbed by Joseph Dumsha, of Pasadena.
Dumsha was still at the scene of the attack.
Officials said the victim, Dumsha and a witness were in Brooklyn Park when an argument began. They left in a vehicle but got into a fight at a traffic signal.
Authorities said the argument subsided but began again when they arrived at Browning Court, and that's when the stabbing happened.
The victim was taken to Shock Trauma for treatment, and Dumsha was taken into custody.
Dumsha faces several charges, including second-degree murder.

And as the Spurs look to get win No. 14 in a row, here are five things to watch for in tonight's game:
- The Spurs are 11-0 in the month of March.
- The Spurs are 22-0 when Tiago Splitter scores in double-figures.
- Sixers' Young has scored 20+ points in each of the past six games.
- The Sixers have not scored above 93 points in any of the past seven meetings vs. the Spurs.
- The Sixers have lost 10 straight road games.

Banners promoting the Think.Eat.Save campaign were carried onto the pitch in front of 17,000 fans.
Think.Eat.Save is a worldwide campaign promoted by the UNEP, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), and other partners to encourage consumers and retailers to take action to reduce the 1.3 billion tons of food wasted and lost worldwide each year.
Flamengo is one of the most popular football teams in the world, and boasts over 35 million supporters in Brazil alone. More than 17,000 fans were in the stadium to watch the match with Portuguesa, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Brazilian National League match took place in Brasília at the Mane Garrincha National Stadium, which is among the arenas built for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The stadium boasts a number of sustainable features, including installed solar panels to meet electricity needs, and a rain water collection system to irrigate the pitch. Last July, the arena was assessed by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certificate, offered by the U.S. Green Building Council for sustainable constructions.
UNEP continues to support the Brazilian government in other greening efforts in the run-up to next year's FIFA World Cup. A sustainable procurement initiative is in place to ensure that large-scale purchases are as resource-efficient as possible, and that sustainable consumption and production practices are followed. A new version of UNEP's Green Passport - which provides participants and visitors at major sporting events with advice on local sustainable tourism - will also be released in Brazil in time for the World Cup.
Among other upcoming activities, the Think.Eat.Save - Reduce Your Foodprint campaign is set to feature at the Milan Expo 2015 under the theme 'Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life'.

Jeweled Makeup Compact
By: Lisa Bychowski for Kandi Corp
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Turn an empty mint tin into a high-glamor purse compact for makeup essentials. This fun craft from Kandi Corp. uses heat-set rhinestones to cover the top of the tin. Add a mirror on the inside of the tin for beauty on the go.
● 3/4" x 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" candy tin
● 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" decorative mirror
● 16ss 4mm heat-set rhinestones*: 95 Clear, 320 Rose
● Ultra fine pink glitter
● Silver leafing pen
● Laminating liquid
● Permanent glue
● Fine-grit sandpaper, paintbrush, paper plate, pencil, ruler, toothpicks, tweezers
* Quantities indicated allow for extra rhinestones
Let tin dry after every leafing pen and gluing application.
- Sand paint off tin; sand in one direction. Clean tin with soap and water; wipe dry. Use pencil to mark center top of tin.
- Use toothpicks to apply glue to tin top; use tweezers to arrange rhinestones. See picture for placement. Work from middle row and out to each side. Glue row of Rose rhinestones along each side of pattern. Glue row of Rose rhinestones around bottom edge of lid. NOTE: Avoid gluing hinges.
- Use leafing pen on inside of tin top and outside of tin bottom.
- NOTE: Avoid gluing and glittering sides, as this will prevent lid from closing. Use paintbrush to apply thin coat of glue to entire inside bottom of tin. Hold tin over plate; sprinkle glitter to coat all sides. To remove excess glitter, turn tin over and tap. Repeat with inside of tin top. Use paintbrush to apply laminate to glittered surfaces.
- Glue mirror to inside of tin top. Glue Rose rhinestone on each side of mirror.

text: Imagine what it would be like to get married in a charming historic church surrounded by beautiful landscapes and taken away by a horse-drawn carriage. The Old Peace Chapel offers this and so much more to those wanting to tie the knot. The Old Peace Chapel was built in New Melle in the 1800's and was originally a general store and dance hall. At the turn of the century, the building was bought by a German Evangelical congregation and remodeled into a church. The church was brought to the Daniel Boone Site in 1983. Today, it is the centerpiece to the village. Guests not only enjoy the craftsmanship and detail of the church, but also love the sound of the pipe organ playing from the overhead balcony. Weddings, Vow Renewals, and Baptisms are offered each day (with the exception of certain holidays) and can be held at a time suitable to your needs. The church can seat up to 100 guests comfortably and there is ample free parking. The Old Peace Chapel is available for viewing by appointment only. For more information please call 636-949-7535 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

In people with type 2 diabetes, the body does not use insulin properly and, over time, cannot make enough insulin. Some people with type 2 diabetes will need treatment with insulin.
Diabetes is a condition that causes high blood sugars. Diabetes affects long-term health in many ways. It can affect the heart, kidneys, and vision if it is not well controlled. When pills and other medications are not enough to control diabetes, insulin treatment is the next step. Insulin is usually injected under the skin with a small needle. Injections are needed at least once a day and sometimes multiple times a day (such as after each meal). Sometimes an insulin pump is needed for continuous delivery of insulin into the body.
Many patients are worried or scared about starting insulin. Some do not want to start insulin until it is "absolutely necessary." This can mean delaying the start of insulin treatment from when a doctor would have otherwise recommended it. Some of the reasons patients do not want to start insulin include
Fear of needles and having to do daily injections
Fear of weight gain
Fear of low blood glucose
Feelings of personal failure in controlling diabetes
Concerns about complicated regimens that will disrupt day-to-day life
These concerns are understandable. But it is important to know that none of these concerns are as serious as the complications of poorly controlled diabetes. Insulin treatment is like any other life change that you make for the sake of your health: it may not be the easiest to adopt, but eventually it will do you good.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you might have about insulin. This conversation is very reassuring to most patients. Some things your doctor might tell you include
Current "ultrafine" needles are very thin and nearly painless. There are also pen injections available in which the needle is hidden so you don't have to see it.
There is usually a small amount of weight gain after starting insulin treatment. If weight gain is a major concern, certain types of insulin can be chosen that cause less weight gain than others.
A low blood glucose level that is a serious concern happens very rarely with insulin injections (about a 2% risk, and even lower with certain kinds of insulin).
Starting insulin is in no way a sign of personal failure in controlling diabetes. Diabetes is by nature a progressive disease. The longer someone lives with diabetes, the more likely he or she will need insulin treatment.
There are many different options for insulin regimens. They can be changed to suit your needs. It takes some time to get used to taking insulin, but after a while most people would say it has very little effect on day-to-day life. Talking to someone who has been taking insulin for a while may help as well.
In the June 11, 2014, issue of JAMA, a review article discusses all aspects of insulin treatment for diabetes, including some barriers to starting insulin.

Matt Leinart's ex-girlfriend, Brynn Cameron, reveals that when it comes to parenting, she's the star quarterback.
"It's kind of hard for me as the mom, I'm with Cole" – her 9-month-old son with Leinart – "probably 99.9 percent of the time – to open a magazine or read a newspaper article with Matt saying, 'Oh, I love being a dad. I love changing diapers. I love doing this.' I'm like, Wait, what?" Cameron, 21, tells the Ventura County Star.
"It's been hard when I'm doing all the work, but he gets all the credit," she says.
Arizona Cardinals 6'5" quarterback Leinart, 24, and University of Southern California basketball Cameron dated briefly but later split in 2006. Cameron currently lives with her parents and the baby, whose full name is Cole Cameron Leinart.
Although Leinart recently gushed about being a father, Cameron has her own strong feelings. The former USC quarterback "comes and goes whenever he wants," she says.
"I don't want to sit here and bad-mouth his lifestyle," she says, "but it is hard because we are different people. He likes that Hollywood stuff and I don't like that."
Leinart, who has been linked to Paris Hilton, will join his Cardinals teammates at training camp in late July. Cameron plans to return to campus this fall.
"It's hard, but I have to raise Cole to be a strong, secure kid so he knows what's right and wrong, what's good and bad and what really matters in life, which isn't what's going on in Hollywood or who's dating who," says Cameron. ''That's not what it's all about, and I think he'll know that being raised by me."

Ricky Skaggs
Share This
By the time he was in his mid-thirties, Kentuckian
Ricky Skaggs
had already produced a career's worth of music. At age seven he appeared on TV with
Flatt & Scruggs
; at 15 he was a member of legendary
Ralph Stanley
's bluegrass band (with fellow teenager
Keith Whitley
). None of his '80s peers, male or female, had better musical credentials than
. The term "multi-talented" lacks the power to characterize this extraordinary singer and instrumentalist. Not only can he sing and pick with the best in progressive country, his broad and deep experience in traditional music separates him from the crowd. In the estimation of many, he is without peer as a combination vocalist and instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo). After playing with
Ralph Stanley
for three years,
moved on to progressive bluegrass bands
the Country Gentlemen
J.D. Crowe & the New South
. With his own band,
Boone Creek
, he mixed the old and the new, even referencing the swinging Gypsy jazz of
Django Reinhardt
Rodney Crowell
's place in
Emmylou Harris
Hot Band
in 1977, and the band's excellent
Roses in the Snow
album showcased
' versatility. Two number one hits came out of his 1981 album
Waitin' for the Sun to Shine
, and the awards started arriving.
is largely responsible for a back-to-basics movement in country music. He showed many that a bluegrass tenor with impeccable taste and enormous talent could sell traditional country in the '80s, a time when pop music had invaded the land of rural rhythm.
began playing music at a very early age, being given a mandolin from his father at the age of five. Before his father had the time to teach
how to play, the child had learned the instrument himself, and by the end of 1959 he had performed on-stage during a
Bill Monroe
concert, playing "Ruby Are You Mad at Your Man" to great acclaim. Two years later, when
was seven, he appeared on
Flatt & Scruggs
' television show, again to a positive response. Shortly afterward, he learned how to play both fiddle and guitar and began playing with his parents in a group called the Skaggs Family. In addition to traditional bluegrass,
began absorbing the honky tonk of
George Jones
Ray Price
and the British Invasion rock & roll of
the Beatles
the Rolling Stones
. In his adolescence, he briefly played in rock & roll bands, but he never truly abandoned traditional and roots music.
During a talent concert in his midteens, he met
Keith Whitley
, a fellow fiddler. The two adolescents became friends and began playing together, with
's brother
on banjo, at various radio shows. By 1970, they earned a spot opening for
Ralph Stanley
. Following their performance,
invited the duo to join his supporting band,
the Clinch Mountain Boys
, and they accepted. Over the next two years they played many concerts with the bluegrass legend and appeared on his record
Cry from the Cross
also appeared on
's solo album
Second Generation Bluegrass
in 1972.
Though he had made his way into the bluegrass circuit and was actively recording,
had grown tired of the hard work and low pay in
the Clinch Mountain Boys
and left the group at the end of 1972. For a short while, he abandoned music and worked in a boiler room for the Virginia Electric Power Company in Washington, D.C., but he returned to performing when
the Country Gentlemen
invited him to join in 1973.
spent the next two years with the group, primarily playing fiddle, before joining the progressive bluegrass band
J.D. Crowe & the New South
in 1974. The following year, he recorded another duet album with
That's It
, and then formed his own newgrass band,
Boone Creek
, in 1976. In addition to bluegrass, the outfit played honky tonk and Western swing.
Boone Creek
earned the attention of
Emmylou Harris
, who invited
to join her supporting band. After declining her several times, he finally became a member of her

Boone Creek
One Way Track

Tony Rice
(1978's Take Me Home Tonight in a Song, 1980's
Skaggs & Rice
), and finally, his first solo album,
Sweet Temptation
, which was released on Sugar Hill.
Sweet Temptation
was a major bluegrass hit, earning the attention of the major label Epic Records. The label offered him a contract in 1981, releasing
Waitin' for the Sun to Shine
later that year. The album was a big hit, earning acclaim not only in country circles, but also in rock & roll publications. By the end of the year
had become a star and, in the process, brought rootsy traditional country back into the consciousness of the country audience.
During 1982 and early 1983 he had five straight number one singles -- "Crying My Heart Out Over You," "I Don't Care," "Heartbroke," "I Wouldn't Change You If I Could," "Highway 40 Blues" -- as well as earning numerous awards. Later in 1982 he was made the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry. For the next four years, he was a major artistic and commercial force within country music, raking up a string of Top Ten hits and Grammy Award-winning albums. His success helped spark the entire new traditionalist movement, opening the doors for performers like
George Strait
Randy Travis
. Toward the end of the decade,
wasn't charting as frequently as he had in the past, but he had established himself as an icon. Each of his records sold well, and he collaborated with a number of musicians, including
Rodney Crowell
the Bellamy Brothers
Johnny Cash
Jesse Winchester
, and
Dolly Parton
During the early '90s,
and his traditional music were hit hard by the slick sounds of contemporary country, and consequently, his records ceased to sell as consistently as they had ten years earlier. Columbia Records dropped the musician in 1992 due to poor sales. However,
continued to perform concerts and festivals frequently, as well as host his own syndicated radio program,
The Simple Life
, which hit the airwaves in 1994. The following year,
returned to recording with
Solid Ground
, his first album for Atlantic Records.
Life Is a Journey
followed in 1997, and two years later he released
Soldier of the Cross
Big Mon: The Songs of Bill Monroe

on his own Skaggs Family label, followed by

in 2004, A Skaggs Family Christmas in 2005 and
in 2006. He joined forces with
the Whites
for 2007's
Salt of the Earth
Released in 2008,
Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass
paid homage to
Bill Monroe
's classic mid-'40s lineup of
the Bluegrass Boys
and featured the only surviving member of that band,
Earl Scruggs
, as a guest player. For 2009's
Solo: Songs My Dad Loved
, dedicated to his father,
Hobert Skaggs
, he played all the instruments and sang all the vocals himself, while 2010's Mosaic, co-produced by
and Gordon Kennedy, found him singing gospel-inflected country songs with more of a pop and rock feel. Released in 2011, Country Hits: Bluegrass Style saw
returning to some of his country hits and reshaping them as bluegrass pieces. 2011 also saw the release of a second holiday album, A Skaggs Family Christmas, Vol. 2, a ten-song CD that featured both studio and live recordings and came packaged with a bonus DVD, A Skaggs Family Christmas Live, presenting the family's holiday concert filmed at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. A live set with Bruce Hornsby, Cluck Ol' Hen, appeared at the end of the summer in 2013.

The singer got a black-and-grey cake from the Cake Boss at the New York City launch party for her new album, Rated R on Tuesday night at Juliet Supperclub. The cake was decorated to match her chosen "dark" theme, and included mannequins, barbed wire, and two televisions with images of art from her album. It was all crowned by a silver "R."
Of course, Rihanna's lucky she got a piece at all. She showed up three hours late to the party, though she made her usual splash in a short, gold-sequined dress by noir jewelry for The Blonds, dazzling the likes of Diddy, Jay-Z, Fabulous and Christian Siriano.

In addition to the original 12-mm insert, Iscar Helido Round H400 fine-pitch mills offer 10- and 16-mm inserts to improve profile machining and ramping over a range of applications. Matching cutters measure 1" and 1.25" in diameter for end mills and 1.5" to 4" in diameter for face mills.
Unlike true rounds, these inserts have a periphery consisting of bounding arcs with radii that would be found on pure rounds twice their size, the company says. Each insert has four 120-degree arcs that enable the cutters to increase their number of flutes, which results in increased feed capability. The double-sided inserts feature helical cutting edges designed for gentle entry, and top-face geometry creates 10-degree positive-rake inclination. Sumo Tec post-coating treatment is said to improve performance.
The cutter's dovetail clamping design directs forces to the body, which relieves the clamping screw of the impact loads. The insert shape creates four fixed indexing positions per side and firmer, no-twist seating able to withstand high cutting forces, the company says. Fixed indexing positions also ensure that all four edges are used and eliminate the uncertainties that lead to discarding of rounds that still have good edges, the company says.

Using Social Media to Share Your Travel Photos
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
If you look at the history of photography, you'll find that photos are meant to be shared and to be seen. As a kid, I remember sitting at my grandfather's house watching slideshows (yes, actually slides) of his photography from all over the world. Now that I'm on my own trip around the world, sharing photos with my friends and family has taken on a whole new meaning.
Everyone takes lots of photos when travelling abroad or on any holiday vacation. On a single one-week vacation, you might come away with over 1,000 photos. How do you sort, save and share all of that content? Luckily, there are a lot of tools at a traveller's disposal to help spread and share their travel photos (and stories, too). And with an increasing amount of our personalities stored online, it's never been easier to share using social media.
Use Instagram and Twitter to share instantly
Services like Instagram are ubiquitous among iPhone and smartphone users. With the ability to snap a photo on just about every handheld device, you can also share that moment with just a few extra clicks. If you think about it, Polaroid film was one of the first photo sharing networks. Even though it took three minutes for the photo development process, it was still much quicker than most other cameras.
Nowadays, you can use your phone to take a photo and instantly upload it to any number of online services for immediate sharing. With the real-time aspect of social networks, combined with easy & accessible internet access across the world, you can share every moment of your trip with your friends, family and followers.
Instagram allows users to instantly add filters and share their photos as soon as the photo is taken. Because so many social networks are inter-linked as well, posting a photo to Instagram could easily be automatically sent to your personal Facebook and Twitter networks. So a quick photo you snapped of yourself in front of the Coliseum in Rome becomes immediately available to all the people you're connected to online. Rather than having to sit your friends down to show them an album or some tricked out slideshow on your MacBook, they'll get real-time updates.
Microblogging with services like Tumblr or Posterous
Microblogging platforms such as Tumblr and Posterous allow users to quickly upload photos which are then instantly available to their followers. With social media increasingly dependent upon live updates, microblogging sites (Twitter included) are a great way to keep friends & family updated on your travels with your travel photos. They also provide space for comments and feedback (along the lines of a "like" button). As a photographer, instant feedback on your photos can be both a burden and lifesaver.

Social media is increasing day by day and today it has become the necessary part and useful platform when it comes to videos and images.

How do you forward your pics from camera to another persons email??

- - Looking at a new bike - Ninja 650 or SV 650 (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/off-topic-general-discussion/50355-looking-new-bike-ninja-650-sv.html)
Looking at a new bike - Ninja 650 or SV 650
Hi guys,
Looking at picking up a new used bike. Very late in the season but there a few deals around. I was looking at an 07 SV 650 but have found a 09 Ninja 650 that I like. Any thoughts on which one is better? I am new to riding and will be doing more highway riding than anything else.
You should probably post this on a bike forum or somewhere else...but back when I was looking into bikes, the ninja was more aggressive and more geared towards intermediate/advanced riders, while the sv650 is more of a beginner bike. If they're both the same price I would definitely get the ninja...but chances are the sv650 will be cheaper and better suited for a novice rider.
I had a 09 ninja 650 before moved on to a rc51. The ninja 650 is a great started bike. The sv650 is a great bike also. I know a bunch of riders that do track days and regional racing on sv650s. I would go with which ever is in the best shape for the price but I would learn towards the sv650
SV all the way...
I've been riding and doing trackdays for quite some time now. If I had to choose between those two I would go with the SV hands down. The aftermarket support is much more developed than the Ninja 650.
My first bike was an SV, then a ZX6, now an R6. I absoultely loved my SV and it was the perfect starter bike. I'm actually considering getting one again to start club racing.
What are the people asking for the bikes? I'm on the moto forums pretty much every day and have a pretty good idea of what's a fair deal for those bikes.
I rode an 01 SV650 for my first bike and it had plenty of power. Not too sure about the ninja, but the SV is a 90 degree V Twin which means it's a very torquey bike. I sold mine and moved to a CBR600RR because I liked the 4 cyl better along with a smoother power band. The SV is a sweet bike with a set of SM bars on it for sure.
Thanks for the feedback guys. The two bikes in question -
2009 Kawasaki Ninja - Alberta Sport Touring Motorcycles For Sale - Kijiji Alberta Canada.
Suzuki sv650 - Edmonton Sport Bikes For Sale - Kijiji Edmonton Canada.
The SV I orginally talked about is from a dealer so its not online. Because of the short season here the bikes are not that cheap but I really like the look of the Ninja and the great ridding position. Having said that I just keep hearing very good things about the SV
I would say the most imporatant thing for you to do is to sit on both bikes and see which feels best to you. Both bikes will be equally good for you IMO but the SV may retain it's value a bit better over time.
I'm sure you've done a fair amount of reading but here is a decent comparison of both bikes. Page 4 sums it up pretty well.
Let us know what you choose. I'm sure you will be happy with either...and be sure to wear gear at all times while riding.
How much speed are you looking for? Kawasaki has the new Ninja 300 coming out that looks very promising as a commuter and can be had for under $5k. That said I would place the Ninja 650 and SV650 basically equal. As said, see what feels best. Though I would take the SV simply because I dislike the way parallel twins sound. My current/first bike is a 1983 Honda Nighthawk 650. I'm probably getting an SV650/Gladius next spring. I keep trying to convince myself to buy the Ninja 300 but I bought a sensible car (2012 Mazda 3 skyactiv) I can't have too sensible of a bike.
Now... I started on the FZ6, put about 25,000 km on it over two years and then bought myself an R1. The FZ6 (and anything in the sport touring segment) are much more comfortable to ride for long distances, and I somewhat regretted the R1 purchase. If I were to buy again it would be an FZ8 or FZ1.
Funny story though, after I sold my R1 there was a group ride coming up with some old friends. One of the riders let me borrow her daughters Ninja 250 for the day. We were out on public roads of course so no crazy riding, but that little 250 was able to hang with R6's and many sport touring bikes no problem. So on one hand I'm saying don't buy something underpowered, and on the other I'm saying that the rider makes the bike instead of the other way around.
The only trouble with the Ninja and SV series is that you may get bored sooner on them. An inline-4 based sport tourer will have a much higher revving engine (and much higher peak HP) which can make things fun when you want. The smile factor on an FZ6 is pretty big! :D
The FZ6, SV650 and Ninja 650 all have roughly the same peak torque (although it occurs much higher up on the FZ6), and roughly the same curb weight. The FZ6 has the largest fuel tank of the bunch (don't ignore this stat!)
If you can sit on a bunch, do it... And if you want any help test riding, I still have my helmet and gear. :D
I think the perfect size would be a 400 cc inline 4. Something like the old FZR400: They had 60 HP (close to the SV650 and Ninja 650), but weighed about 350 pounds instead of 400+, and to get at that power you had to wind them up. Would make for a fun bike!
Damn you all are making me want to get back into the sport, and an FZR400 is what I want.

WALNUT – The Tippah County clash between Falkner High School and Walnut High School, better known as the Joe Bowl, scheduled for Thursday night has been postponed after three cases of the Swine Flu were confirmed at Falkner.
Falkner Eagle coach Nickey Nance said he doesn't have any confirmed cases on his team, but as of today, he has nine players out with flu-like symptoms, leaving 16 healthy players.
Walnut coach Timmy Moore said that he has talked with Nance by phone all week about the situation, after the flu-like symptoms began to surface at Falkner, Monday.

Kiefer Sutherland says making sure 24 could proceed without a hitch was his top priority when he served seven weeks in jail last winter following convictions for DUI and violating probation – which he called a "dumb mistake."
Sutherland served 48 days behind bars in Glendale, Calif. during the writers' strike.
"It made what I had to do – obviously a very stupid thing that I did – it made that easier because I could go and the show was not affected by it," Sutherland, 42, said Monday during the Television Critics Association conference in Beverly Hills.
"I made a really dumb mistake, and to be able to go back to work, which is something I feel comfortable doing, it's a safe place for me, I was grateful to have that opportunity," he told a group of reporters. "I've had very good friends that have made similar mistakes and have not been that lucky. So, I was very aware of how lucky I was to have that opportunity."
Friend and 24 costar Robert Carlyle added that Sutherland is doing "very, very well," and called his jail sentence "like squashing a fly with a mallet." Sutherland is "very healthy, very fit," he said.
Sutherland returns as Jack Bauer in the 24 prequel movie scheduled to air on FOX in November. The show's seventh season is scheduled to air in 2009.

ROK-U.S. Military Committee to Issue Warning Against North Korean Provocations
An ROK-U.S. Military Committee meeting, cochaired by the chairmen of the Korean and U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, was held at the Korean Ministry of Defense this afternoon to jointly cope with the series of North Korean incursions over the Northern Limit Line (NLL) by its patrol boats that started on June 7 and the exchange of gunfire today between the navies of the two Koreas. Attending the meeting were top military leaders of the two countries including Gen. Kim Jin-ho, chief Korean delegate, and Gen. John Tilelli Jr., Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Forces Korea, who represented the U.S. in place of the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The meeting has determined that the North Korean Navy's initiation of firing against ROK navy ships was a clear violation of the 1953 Truce Agreement and an act of provocation timed with the opening of the General Officers Meeting at Panmunjom. The ROK-U.S. Military Committee decided to closely cooperate to jointly tackle the situation as follows:
First, the U.N. Commander-in-Chief in Korea will issue a strong warning to North Korea and demand that North Korea refrain from repeating such provocation.
Second, Korea and the U.S. will maintain a system of close military coordination.
Third, from this moment on, the United States will swiftly provide the necessary added support for the combined defense posture.

I want to rule out everything else so I can concentrate on the adrenal fatigue. I'm going to ask for the usual battery of normal tests such as testosterone, T3 & T4 etc that have been coming back normal for 25 years.
Jeez, yes it has been that long since I first complained to a doctor of fatigue!
I'll also ask him to test my D levels and inquire about saliva testing for cortisol, but I suspect that I'll have to arrange that online myself.
Any other tests you think would be worthwhile that won't be routine for a 48 year old guy?

My primal log
I have hemochromatosis so my iron is regularly monitored and I have iron rich blood drained off every so often.
They actually throw it away and I have often wondered why they don't save it and give it to some poor soul that needs a transfusion and has an iron deficiency. Two birds with one stone ;-)

B12. Maybe CRP or ESR to see if you have any chronic inflammation.
If you have continue to have fatigue and don't find a cause, you may want to try a low lectin version of PB. No eggs, coffee, dairy, nightshades, or nuts for a month or so to see if you improve. Then add each group back one at a time to see if you are impacted. This helped me immensely.
