Great weekly commuter & weekend workhorse!
by Tuck from Kansas City, MO | April 22, 2012
-This windy input is based on some years of owning various makes & types of trucks & 4x4s prior to purchasing my 2004 GMC w/22K miles in 03/2005 (paid ~$20K & new sticker was $33K)... -7-years later, my base-model non-HD 2500 4x4 has 156K mi. Its aerodynamic design with ext. cab (doubles as a toolbox), LQ-6.0L, & 4L80 trans. has endured workloads that have stranded other trucks while averaging great 3/4-ton truck economy (city-15mpg & hwy-20mpg). Unloaded, the truck effortlessly spins its tires & refuses to downshift while maintaining a ~70mph cruise on hilly hwys. -Routine maintenance & upgrades on this truck can be easily & economically performed by average wrench-turners w/reasonable computer literacy; added to the fact that the GM Vortec & LS-type engines have only improved, adding to increased 2nd-hand & aftermarket support. -Aesthetically, I'm not crazy about the under-bite front bumper or needing fender flares for slightly wider wheels & tires, my cloth seats still look great, but my console lid is now a lift-off.... -I've replaced the recalled gauge cluster & steering shaft. I've also replaced the front hub assys, power steering pump, rear-diff seal, water pump, & crank sensor. To improve fuel mileage, I lessened the intake & exhaust restrictions, lowered the engine & trans temps, upgraded coil packs, & still perform routine maintenance. -From my perspective, automotive wear & tear is so subjective that the true measure of reliability is predictability of failure (not leaving you stranded), coupled with, ease & economy of repair. On that note, it has been my experience that using GM & AC Delco parts will minimize the frequency of repair(s), but bang-for-the-buck, I count myself lucky to own such a great vehicle that doubles flawlessly as a 4wd truck!

Will never get rid of this truck!!!
by FISHUNTER from Columbia, SC | February 3, 2010
GMC has hit the nail on the head with this one. Great truck, comfortable interior, powerful duramax diesel and stunning looks. This is far and away the best vehicle I have ever owned and will drive it til the engine goes or the wheels fall off, i am betting on the latter. Bought truck used with 88k miles and now have over 140k. Only issue that I have heard from several people is the torque converter lugs cracking. In a truck this powerful it has to be braced. Had mine replaced after it craked at 105k, been rocking on ever since. 4x4 is amazing and can go anywhere or pull anything. good leg room in back seat, heated seats are nice. GMC duramax is the only truck i will ever purchase.

Stars? Chiasson Questionable To Return
Alex Chiasson?s surprising hot streak has fallen right in line with the Dallas Stars? unexpected surge back into the 2013 playoff picture. There?s some certain that he might fade out of view because of an injury, though.
Chiasson, 22, needed to leave Monday?s NBC Sports Network game against the Chicago Blackhawks after being hit early in the second period.
The Stars announced that he suffered an upper-body injury and is questionable to return. Some believe it might be a shoulder issue.
A serious issue would be a shame because Chiasson has enjoyed a remarkable run to begin his NHL career.
After failing to score in his league debut on April 3, Chiasson has scored six goals and one assist in his previous five games. He?s connected on an incredible 46.2 percent of his shots on goal so far.
It seems like luck might not be totally on his side if this ends up being a substantial issue, however.
Dallas had some concern that depth forward Vernon Fiddler was injured after taking a puck to the foot earlier in the game, but he returned to action on Monday, so at least they might have dodged that bullet.

Context.— The rapid growth of the Internet has triggered an information revolution
of unprecedented magnitude. Despite its obvious benefits, the increase in
the availability of information could also result in many potentially harmful
effects on both consumers and health professionals who do not use it appropriately.
Objectives.— To identify instruments used to rate Web sites providing health information
on the Internet, rate criteria used by them, establish the degree of validation
of the instruments, and provide future directions for research in this area.
Data Sources.— MEDLINE (1966-1997), CINHAL (1982-1997), HEALTH (1975-1997), Information
Science Abstracts (1966 to September 1995), Library and Information Science
Abstracts (1969-1995), and Library Literature (1984-1996); the search engines
Lycos, Excite, Open Text, Yahoo, HotBot, Infoseek, and Magellan; Internet
discussion lists; meeting proceedings; multiple Web pages; and reference lists.
Instrument Selection.— Instruments used at least once to rate the quality of Web sites providing
health information with their rating criteria available on the Internet.
Data Extraction.— The name of the developing organization, Internet address, rating criteria,
information on the development of the instrument, number and background of
people generating the assessments, and data on the validity and reliability
of the measurements.
Data Synthesis.— A total of 47 rating instruments were identified. Fourteen provided
a description of the criteria used to produce the ratings, and 5 of these
provided instructions for their use. None of the instruments identified provided
information on the interobserver reliability and construct validity of the
Conclusions.— Many incompletely developed instruments to evaluate health information
exist on the Internet. It is unclear, however, whether they should exist in
the first place, whether they measure what they claim to measure, or whether
they lead to more good than harm.

I have tried this skin care line a couple of times because the commercials were very convincing. I really wanted this skin care line to work because Itruly *LOVE* the smell of this product (fresh melon scent). However, the regular day cream causes my skin to break out, which is why I started using the Ultra Cultured Cream. While this one worked better (no break outs) it did not reduce my wrinkles and since I had to import it from the US (I live in Germany), the line was quite expensive for me. The main reason for not using it anymore, however, is that there are a lot of critical ingredients, which I do not want to have on my skin.
I tell ya, aging through my 50s, wasting my time and dollars on products in the vast land of Youth Potions- in parallel I stumbled upon TIA (over a year ago). Immediately I knew I'd found (I know this may sound ... whatever- but I am profoundly sincere) the path to enlightment "for my skincare."
I've learned SO much and brought that to bear on my skin. I can honestly say I look younger at 58, then I did at 55. I wish I'd taken pictures; this from a one who shuns the camera!
I want to thank you again, Marta! you and your crew are lovely. ~jk
I use this product everyday. I'm 38 year old but look all of 28! I highly recommend using this product.
Thanks Marta, for the quick response. I will check those out straight away.
Hi David,

Every time I read an article about people protesting the death penalty, I am outraged. I want to ask these same people if they have ever had a loved one killed by one of these people they are trying to protect.
My sister was killed at the age of 25 by a man with a record as long as my arm.
He had all of her personal items in his possession, but they claimed they did not have enough evidence to convict him. He was never convicted of my sisters death but was later arrested and convicted of killing his girlfriend. There were eyewitnesses when he murdered his girlfriend. This man is the kind of person others are trying to protect from the death penalty this man who chose the death penalty for at least two people all by himself.
He did not need a jury or a judge to pass the death penalty. Gov. George W. Bush has to have both of these things.
Whom would we be protecting by repealing the death penalty the murderers in this country of ours, the innocent victims they prey upon or the conscience of those on the jury?
History repeats itself?
I enjoy reading every word of the reprints of historical pages from previous Amarillo newspapers.
Sometimes they remind me of stories long forgotten, and sometimes they provide information I had not known. On Oct. 23, the front page from Oct. 20, 1941 was reprinted.
I had just about finished absorbing all of the old news from that time when I noticed a very small, one-sentence article at the bottom of the page. It was datelined Paris, German-Occupied France, Oct. 19, 1941, and stated:
German authorities announced today that Rene Baudet, resident of a Paris suburb, was executed by a firing squad yesterday on charges of illegally possessing firearms.
That is quite a sobering thought when we consider that some in our nation would like to see our right to own and bear firearms taken away.
JIMMY DeARMOND
Not too dull for Sharp
I read with interest the Oct. 20 story, Sharp says hes ready for return to politics. While I enjoyed my visit to Amarillo Oct. 20, I wonder where your reporter got his story.
No one else heard what he heard.
First of all, I didnt say Im ready to return to politics. Secondly, one person asked me which I found more exciting, public service or the private sector, and I said the public sector was more exciting and the private sector more boring.
From that the reporter writes, Sharps bored and ready to return to politics. What tree did that fall out of?
In all seriousness, it was fun seeing my friends in Amarillo, and while I appreciate people asking me to run for office again, if I do, it will be for better reasons than being bored!
EDITORS NOTE: John Sharp is a former Texas state senator, railroad commissioner and comptroller. He was defeated in 1998 in his race for lieutenant governor.
Time for study time
When, oh when, will someone release a study showing that:
People who commit crimes are more likely to be arrested and go to prison than those who do not commit crimes;
People who use drugs are more likely to become addicted to those drugs than those who do not; and
Those for whom crack cocaine is the drug of choice had the option of using powder cocaine (and receiving a lighter sentence), and an option to eschew the drug completely?

Skip to comments.Why Your Doctor Secretly Hates Obamacare
Posted on 04/30/2012 4:16:33 AM PDT by Kaslin
Your doctor wont tell you this when youre sitting in his office, so I will: He hates Obamacare. Its time you know why your doctor is concerned about Obamacare.
Doctors already live in constant fear of malpractice lawsuits. The last thing they want to do is stick their necks out and publicly attack Obamacare. Doctors also do not have an effective D.C. lobby group or public advocate.
A 2011 survey by Jackson and Coker reports that most doctors believe the mega-lobbyist group, American Medical Association (AMA), fails to represent docters interests on Capitol Hill. Forbes reports: Much of that dissatisfaction stems from the organizations support for President Obamas contentious health care reform package. [The AMA] has backed a law that would force some physicians to work longer hours for less pay and others to operate in perpetually overcrowded emergency rooms.
Doctors question how the AMA can represent them in D.C. while cutting back-door deals with the government. Doctors have been effectively forced to fund the AMA by purchasing Medicare and Medicaid billing code books. Dr. Jane Orient, a privately practicing doctor in Arizona, blew the whistle when she discovered that, beginning in 1998, the Health Care Financing Administration gave: the AMA the exclusive copyright on the codes reports The New American.
Since the AMA does not speak up for doctors, I will try to be a voice for doctors. Here are two primary reasons why your doctor hates Obamacare:
1.) Doctors Need Ownership
Dagny Taggart is the heroine of Ayn Rands novel, Atlas Shrugged. At one point, Dagny asks a renowned medical doctor named Dr. Hendricks why he left the medical practice. He says: I quit when medicine was placed under State control Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating devotion that go to acquiring that skill [performing brain surgery]? I would not let them [politicians] dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward. I observed that in all the discussions that preceded the enslavement of medicine, men discussed everythingexcept the desires of the doctors. Let them discover the kind of doctors that their system will now produce. Let them discover, in their operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man whose life they have throttled. It is not safe, if he is the sort of man who resents itand still less safe, if he is the sort who doesnt.
Obamacare removes ownership from the medical field. An individual doctor no longer owns his education, career or even day-to-day lifestyle choices. Under Obamacare, he goes from feeling a sense of caring ownership for his patients and his craft to feeling over-worked, under-paid and micro-managed.
Obamacare effectively steals from doctors by confiscating the skills, energy and time they have devoted to medicine. When you steal a mans life-long passion; his hard-won goal; his lifestyledo not expect him to be happy or to maintain his conscientious passion for practicing medicine.
2.) Doctors Need Motivation and Compensation
A better name for Obamacare is the 16.7 Percent Paycut, because that is what it means for doctors. In order to save Medicare, Obamacare asks doctors to take a 16.7 percent paycut. And, guess what? Patients will suffer, not just doctors. Patients will suffer because smart and caring young men and women will forfeit their dreams of entering the medical profession and choose alternate careers that promise less stress and higher pay.
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to visit my brother at his medical school and meet some of the other medical students. They were intelligent and hard-working individuals who clearly cared about helping people. I did not get the sense that money was their primary motivation in becoming doctors.
Indeed, 60 percent of doctors are concerned that Obamacare will diminish their ability to care for patients, finds a Feb. 29, 2012 survey completed by The Doctors Company Market Research, Americas largest surgeon and physician medical liability insurer.
Money simply allows smart young Americans, like my brother and his peers, to justify spending an additional four-to-ten years after college holed up in a library just to graduate with $160,000 in debt (the median debt load for medical school grads according to a 2010 Mayo Clinic study).
There are 70 million baby-boomers out there who will be looking for geriatricians soon. But there is only one geriatrician for every 2,600 Americans over the age of 75, according to the American Geriatrics Society. Why is this? Money. Geriatricians made a median salary of $183,523 in 2010, reports the Medical Group Management Association. America desperately needs more geriatricians, but young doctors are choosing to specialize in other areas because they can earn two-to-three times more.
Money is a suitable incentive, especially when you are asking people to give up their youth studying while amassing debt. But Obamacare removes the practical profit motive of capitalism and replaces it with the idealistic poverty motive of socialism.
A Better Way
I think trying to save something that is hopelessly broken, like Medicare, is a mistake. Ultimately, I think its a choice between complete government control over limited medical care resources or a more freedom-based system where prices are lower because competition exists and health insurance is actually insurance (now, insurance covers basic, common care which is ridiculous and causes overall healthcare costs to rise). Insurance should only be involved in major medical care; otherwise, its not insurance, its maintenance.
When it comes to medicine, you get what you pay for. As patients, I think we should be willing to pay a little more in exchange for the highest quality of care. Sorry, President Obama, but your plan is JurassicParkCaredoctors go extinct and their patients go untreated while your buddies in Hollywood cheer.
I just retired last week earlier than I thought I would ten years ago. I have many doctor friends and acquaintances who have done the same (retired early) with ongoing evolution toward nobamacare. It is easier and retains your integrity to retire, watch over your investments and watch the sun set...rather than buckle under to the government control nobamacare entails. nobamacare = stay healthy or die. Good luck everyone.
I have two doctors, a GP and a dermatologist (all old redheads need a dermatologist) and neither one keeps their thinking about obamacare a secret. I haven't kept my views a secret either.
If your doctor doesn't hate Obamacare...you're putting your health in the hands of a moron.
(At least you're not gambling with something important.)
My family doctor at the time of the election told me he was voting for Obama. I switched doctors, I didn't want anybody that damn dumb taking care of my family.
The next doctor (same clinic) I had moved my chart to also quit.
The area has expanded so fast with the oil boom, the clinics aren't accepting new patients.
So, thanks to Barry's wonderful universal health care, I have no doctor.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits!
I would have too.
I'd go farther than to assume your doctor who likes Obamacare is a moron. If he loves Obamacare, ask how he feels about the other Obama financial policies and the social policies - like euthanasia.
Investors Business Daily had predicted 2 years ago that 40 percent of doctors would quit
My doctor hates Obamacare; he told me so.
The doctor that I'd been going to for about 15 years stopped practing medicine last year and I needed to find a new physician fto be my "Primary Care Physician". Reason: Besides practicing medicine himself, he'd built his practice up over many years and now owned 26 clinics. Obamacare says if you own a hospital, and for some reason his 26 clinics qualified, then you can't practice medicine in your own hospital, because it's a conflict of interest.
I don't think it's a secret.
I don't think it's much of a secret. Only Obamacare backers could say that except denial would be a more descriptive term.
Nothing secret about it. In fact, it's the best tool for convincing liberals Oldbumcare is bad—just tell them to ask their doctor what they think about it. All my doctors (the ones who are still in business) hate it, and are becoming noticeably more irritable.
Really? That's about all I hear! On occasion, he manages to squeeze in a few words of advice about the problem that brought me to his office!
Because of the AMA's support of Obama care...their membership numbers are declining. All the doc's I know are against Obama care.
None of my doctors make it a secret either!
In countries where medicine is fully nationalized, such as UK, doctors are obviously just highly educated civil servants.
As such, their compensation is determined not by their medical or business skills, or by how hard they work, it's determined by politics.
In UK a few years back, doctors won a major pay increase, but this only prompted other civil servants to complain about the unfairness.
AFAIK, US is the only country where a medical degree is assumed to be a ticket to wealth. It is perhaps significant that even here this is a relatively recent phenomenon.
The best and the brightest (doctors) used to go into academic medicine.
They wanted to pass on their knowledge to the students, enjoyed teaching and also the challenges of working in teaching hospitals.
Teaching hospitals is the place the very sickest go because that is where the very best were located....not so true any more
The best and brightest either retired or moved to private practice.... we can only guess the trickle down effects this has on our current and future health care
No secret about it. My doctor will tell you flat out that when it goes fully into effect he is retiring. He is not selling the practice, he is closing it.
And so ends a practice that has been open for over 60 years.
I just got out of the hospital and received excellent care. My doctor had to call in 2 different specialists to work with her to diagnose and cure my problem. It was a lung infection. Under Obamacare I know that treatment would not have happened. It wouldn't have been cost effective.
People will receive very basic care under doctors and nurses who no longer see patients as human beings but as numbers to be dealt with as cheaply as possible. It will not even be our doctors deciding how much care we need but government panels. It's sad but true.
My wife of more than 30 years is a general surgeon who has been in private practice since 1985. She typically works 12-14 hour days, with call every 5th weekend and rounds every third, plus "time-saving" electronic medical records (previously known as charts) to complete over each weekend. She is tired, and demoralized by Obamacare's implications for her many Medicare patients who are very fearful they will lose her to Obamacare. And, guess what? They will lose her, and many, many physicians who are in their prime of experience.
We were outraged by Barack Obama talking two summers ago about greedy, overpaid doctors who amputate limbs and remove tonsils needlessly to make more money. Barack Obama and his minions know NOTHING about the sacrifice and hardships that are secondary to being a private practice physician in today's regulated market.
I am angry - white hot angry - at what Obama has done to our country. Even more, I hold a raging, burning contempt for people who support Obama and his policies. I know it is anti-Christian, but I wish harm to those who would vote for him knowing what he has done to the USA.
"The best and the brightest (doctors) used to go into academic medicine."....
And how do you know this sweeping "fact"? In my experience, and that of my general surgeon spouse, most of the top-tier academic physicians - at least in surgery and the "hand-on" specialties - spend more time on airplanes than in the OR. Too many of them can't find their rear ends with both hands because they simply aren't operating daily. Just an observation......
It's no secret between many of my patients and me. I choose the ones I talk to about it a bit carefully, but many of them bring it up from their side. Even libs offer unsolicited worries about where medicine's going, how long I'll stay in practice, what will become of them when I take down my shingle.
Secretly??? Roflmao! I am friendsvwith all my doctors and everyone tells me their disgust every time I see them.
"....what will become of them when I take down my shingle."
I believe my primary doctor was asking himself the same question about all of his patients, perhaps causing him to remain in practice for a few additional years.
My doctor has been retired for about 8 months. He was my doctor for the last 40 years. He delivered both of our children and for the past 10 years, my health issues caused him to see me every 6 to 8 weeks, sometimes more often.
We became friends over the years and I will always miss him. I was fortunate, in that his son became my new doc, but it's just not the same.
I am certain that many older folks, perhaps with medical issues far more serious than mine, will be devastated to find themselves locked in a cold heartless and unfamiliar doctor-patiant environment.
I suspect that 'trust' will be one of the first casualties of state run medical care. For me, trust is a very big part of the doctor-patiant relationship, greatly effecting the desired outcome, thus the patients health.
Thank you for all that you do....
There you go again, Frank, painting the sky blue. ;>)
It's going to get very ugly.
Nahhh...I ran out of blue paint a long time ago...
As of today, I'm officially on Medicare (well, actually it was the first of the month), so it's gonna be weird next time I go to a doc and present that and my Plan F Supplemental cards.

The buzz surrounding Lana Del Rey's 'Video Games' has been fast and furious. A phenomenon of the internet age, del Rey is all sultry vocals, home made vids and bee stung lips. Her performance last week on Jools Holland proved her voice really is that gorgeous. But what's really fascinating is the controversy surrounding her. Before she was a Julia Roberts look-alike, cooler than cool, with the baddest attitude since young Angelina (with her phials of Billy Bob's blood), she was called Lizzy Grant, with blond hair and OMG……thin lips.
Allegedly she was dreamed up by marketing men, who had a job lot of collagen on their hands. The Lizzie Grant thing epically failed, so they rebranded her and just like a Marathon bar, she came back as Snickers, all American and nutty. But should this provoke such an outcry? Every, but every popstar gets a makeover as soon as they get famous….., even Shane MacGowan got his teeth done eventually (well, what was left of them). Lady GaGa and Madonna just go on reinventing themselves. Spice Girls, Girls Aloud, Boyzone, every X Factor winner has been manufactured by millionaire marketing moguls. In a mass market where sound and image are so closely intertwined, I'd rather listen to Lana del Rey than a whole lot of other people. But wherever you stand, you won't be able to avoid her, lips and all. You might even get sucked in!

Historical Traveler Reviews Stonewall Resort Roanoke
Remote, but very nice.
I visited the Stonewall resort for a conference in June. It is a new lodge/resort/golf destination. However, it is the only option for food and dining within 10 to 15 miles. It is in the middle of nowhere.
The lodge itself is very sharp and modern. The staff is helpful and friendly. The pool is impressive. The whole place was very clean. The guestroom exceeds what you would expect from a typical Radisson, Marriott, etc.
The only complaints (other than location) have to do with the food and the golf. The restaurants are overpriced ($11 for a grilled chicken club). The service is also underwhelming at the bar and the restaurants. The golf course is an Arnold Palmer design, but tough. My gripe is with the staff at the course. In the days we played there seemed to be any interest in ensuring golfers were happy and accomodated. For example, an overnight rain forced the course to open late. This meant our group would not have time to play 18 holes. Despite the fact that there were several groups waiting for the tee, the pro would not allow us to begin on #10. This made little sense. He also would not allow the waiting groups to use the driving range (included as part of the greens' fee) because the staff was not able to pick up the balls from the previous night. We also could not use the putting green because it was near the driving range and they were worried someone may begin hitting balls...I'm not making this up.
When you pay $75 for golf, you should be treated like a valued customer, not an inconvenience.
I would return again, but could not imagine staying anymore than 2 or 3 days simply because there is nothing to do outside the resort.
Not What We Expected
Although the area was nice, Stonewall Resort is now what we expected. The food is over priced, and leaves alot for the appetite to desire. Unfortunatley, the front desk staff took it upon themselves to charge our credit card for whatever they wanted to, without our authorization. The restaurant charged our credit card several times for one meal. We spent more time getting our charges straighten out with the resort and the bank than we did vacationing.
Peaceful and relaxing....
My husband and I visited Stonewall Resort for four nights in May. I grew up in WV and have since moved away. The resort proved to be a little slice of heaven, just like West Virginia herself.
The resort seems to be more geared toward conferences, but they do have leisure visitors. The conference areas are huge, new and very nice.
The spa was small, but nice. We were there to relax, so I did a 3 hour session with a manicure, pedicure, facial and massage. The massage therapist was very good and the mani and pedi were great. I did not care for the facial. After having been to the Nemacolin Spa in Farmington, PA, this spa does not compare, but for WV and the prices, it was just what I needed!
My reason for not giving Stonewall 4 stars is the food. 1- They're over charging. 2- The food is just average. 3- Of the three different resaturants, they serve the EXACT same thing at 2 of them, and a small variation of the first 2 at the third restaurant. They did have a nice bar area with good drinks and the food wasn't horrible, just not enough of a selection and too overpriced.
We rented bikes, which was nice, but they need to label the trails better. We were going to go on a evening dinner cruise, but they didn't have enough people to go, so it was canceled. I think their season is not in full swing, so I'm sure the summer cruises regularly have enough to do them.
Overall, a great relaxing weekend and I would definately recommend Stonewall.
A first class escape to the beauty of West Virginia
we spent four days at Stonewall at the end of August and cannot wait to return. Children, ages 9-18 and adults all had a wonderful time, enjoying the scenery, lake and abundant wildlife. The lodge is spacious, rooms are kept very clean and a great effort is made by the hotel staff to be of service. The only downfall of the resort is the food service at the lodge, expensive, sometimes poor in quality, and limited in selection. The alternative is the restaurant on the golf course, Lightburns - there service, selection and quality are excellent.
The spa is small but very pleasantly managed and you will find a full array of services in a very peaceful environment. Be sure to visit them.
THere is a very nice gift shop with beautiful WV items.
We look forward to our return.
Stonewall Jackson Resort - a little piece of heaven
We recently spent a week at the Stonewall Jackson Resort in northern West Virginia in our travel trailer at their campground. The camprgound is surrounded on three sides by a 2,000 plus acre lake with some of the best bass fishing in northern West Virginia. The entire resort, which features a golf course, spa and several fine restaurants, is breathtaking. The wildlife, deer in particular, visit all areas of the resort and are very tolerant of people. Does and little ones, still with their spots, were as numerous as the people all over the park. Hiking, mountain biking, boating and fishing took up all of our time. The facilities are extremely clean and well maintained all over the resort. The marnia features pontoon boat, canoe, kayak and fishing boat rentals. They also rent houseboats so that you never have to leave the lake. This was our first visit and one that we will certainly do again. We were less than two hours from home and it seemed like a world away. The people we encounted during this trip, folks from the resort, our neighbors in the campground, folks working at local businesses, were all extremely friendly. It is located just off of Interstate 79 at exit 91.
Suite life with children
Trip date June 27-30, 2004. We were thrilled with our summer visit back to our roots in central West Virginia - what a lovely resort tucked over the hills from I-79. Stonewall Resort has rustic charm with all the modern conveniences. We booked a room with 2 queen beds adjoining one of the 6 parlor/suites. Every room overlooks the beautiful Stonewall Jackson Lake and most times of the day you could easily spot deer and fawn enjoying the scenery too. The parlor/suite was very spacious w/kitchenette and huge bath w/jacuzzi tub and separate shower, pull out sofa bed as well. The queen bedded room had a lovely spacious bath equipped w/2 sinks. The indoor/outdoor pool w/2 hot tubs is great and well maintained - the well furnished fitness room sets along side the pool with lovely locker room facilities. My children enjoyed the playground every day. We were fortunate to have our stay coincide with the arrival of the resorts cruise boat, the Little Sorrel. We enjoyed a 2 hour sightseeing cruise one afternoon to the dam on the lake. This cruise is an experience not to miss - they outfitted the children with their own life vests. The menu in Stillwaters is full of variety and staff very helpful. The fire pit glowed every evening and seemed to be a nice spot to recap your day spent in this beautiful section of West Virginia. The golf course was simply breathtaking and there were also all sorts of recreation available on the lake, kayaking to fishing to jet skis. We highly recommend this little jewel in the hills!
Loved it over the 4Th!
Love it! I have been there twice already and I can't wait to go back. Service was great, spa was the best ever they really give you the full time you paid for, and the food was to die for! Loved the fire pit and we enjoyed fireworks over the lake on the 4th!
Unique combo of luxury and low price
I've been here twice... once in the summer and once in the winter...
and loved both visits. Everything from the golf course to the food at the resort lodge restaurant is first rate. Yet it is relatively inexpensive. It's right off Interstate 79, so access is a breeze. The outdoor section of the pool was actually still open in the early winter. We hung out in the hot tub while the snowflakes flew around!
The fire pit outside the lounge is ablaze at night as people gather around for nightcaps and hot chocolate. This place is amazing. My wife loved the big, comfy leather chairs in the main lobby by the huge stone fireplace and the adjoining library. The whole resort was decked out for Christmas. Take time for a massage if you get the chance.
The ultimate in relaxation
We have stayed at this resort on two different occasions and have dined here numerous other times. We were very impressed by all the resort has to offer. The lobby is so relaxing with the large stacked stone fireplace and comfy chairs. The charming rooms contained all the necessities plus a beautiful view of the lake. The staff was very polite and friendly. If you enjoy golfing, this place is for you. The course is challenging and the views are breathtaking. The cuisine is exceptional, even if it is a little pricey. The menu is extensive and the wine list is very good.
Really nice resort!!
This place is one of the best kept secrets in WV resorts!! The cost of staying the night is triple less than the cost of staying at the Greenbrier! The lodge stretches along the banks of the Stonewall Lake so every guestroom has a great view. All rooms are equipped with necessary items like coffee pot and iron, etc and every room has windows that open! The staff is very friendly and they not only help carry luggage but they have a shuttle bus from the parking lot! The main lobby is beautiful in woodwork and style; complete with a fireplace. Halls lead down to a pool and spa area. The same pool inside the building runs outside! And both areas have a hot tub. There is a fitness center and a Mt. Laurel Spa. An Arnold Palmer Signature Golf course and a Marina are next door. If you bring your own boat to the marina you can park it for free if you are a guest at the lodge, in the cabin or staying at the campground. Downstairs is the Dining Room and a Lounge that has nightly entertainment till midnight. There is a deck area outside if you prefer to sit there and they bring the food to you as you sit comfortably in the deck chairs and watch the lake activities. Also in this deck area is a huge fire ring that is on at night. Some children were actually roasting marshmallows! Music flows out to the deck via a speaker. The rooms are situated away from all the activities and noise from the deck and pool areas. On the road to the Resort, people were walking and jogging on the hiking trails and pathways. Will go back again!!

Two weeks ago, Mayor Rendell smashed a guitar to christen the new Hard Rock Cafe at the historic Reading Headhouse. Returning to City Hall, he was ambushed outside his office by PHA tenants angry about his choice of a new public housing director. By afternoon, he was on a plane to California to pitch the city as a Republican convention site.
With two years left in office and counting, Rendell isn't slowing down. But he's likely to find it rougher going.

Our memory tests have turned out to be fruitful. That reminds me - When Dad and Mom moved into the Albany house, 1929, they planted six peach trees in the back yard. All thrived and produced for many years.
But when it comes to memory, E. C. is a wonder. Examples: Ice cream cones @ 5 cents; a loaf of unsliced bread, 11 cents; Campbell's Pork and Beans, 10 cents a can; butter cut from a wood barrel, 15 cents lb.; lard from a wood barrel, 10 cents lb. E. C. remembers all this, he writes, because he worked as a grocery delivery boy (with my red wagon) for ten cents an order. Some times five miles away to the homes in the mts. of our village - you remember - So. Orange village, 1932-37.
"May I go on?" he pleads. "Of course," I say. So . . . "Tom Mix, Ken Maynard, Richard Dix, Leo Carillo, Caruso - all my heroes! (Still!)" And he almost forgot - "milk in glass bottles, topped with heavy cream with cardboard seal." And now he can't stop: "National Biscuit Co. clerks retrieved all grocery items from shelves, wrapped them all in brown paper, tied with string with those wonderful wire-cardboard handles." Thanks, E. C. Rest up a little; then come back.
Fay Reeve, Friona, I calculate, wasn't born yesterday either. She remembers "hoeing for a dollar a day, riding in the rumble-seat of a Model-T Ford; buying gasoline for 25 cents, or less, a gallon; women and men separated in church, sitting on opposite sides; drinking cool, clear water (or having a water fight) from well at school or at church; having to slice a loaf of bread, if you could afford one; Or, "feeding hoboes who stopped at your back door; driving thirty-miles-per hour and thinking you were flying (not during WWII); cranking an old Model-T and getting a broken arm; using a lap robe to keep from freezing in a car with no heater; in cold weather driving a car with isinglass curtains (partly so you could see out); getting ice on Saturday for making ice cream and having some left for tea on Sunday - then, as Wes Izzard used to say, 'You're too old for the draft."' Fay is a retired junior high English teacher. You could write a book, Fay.
The strain of all this remembering brings but faintly to mind a 1928 song named "Memories."
It starts like this "Memories, memories, Dreams of love so true[something] Childhood days, wildwood days Among the birds and bees"[Yipes] [something something] HELP.

A nickname used in reference to Oakland, California. Founded in 1852, The Town is the eighth-largest city in the U.S., but what makes it stand out amongst other American cities is its diverse communities,distinct neighborhoods and turfs, and its culturally rich activities such as Sydeshows, Going 18 Dummy and the historically significant Pimp Game. The Town has birthed some of the most notable musicians and rappers of the 20-21st century, such as Tower of Power, Sly and The Family Stone,Too Short, Richy Rich,Keak Da Sneak, Keyshia Cole and DU. Also emerging from Oakland were The Black Panthers, The East Bay Dragons, The Hells Angels, and many other impacting culturally iconic groups.

I love this shirt, it's adorable. I believe I have it in the smallest size, and it fits me exactly the way I wanted it to. Tight and perfect. It stops just above my belly button or right underneath depending if I pull it down or not. It's great quality. I definitely recommend this. Pair it with black disco pants!!! Looks great.

We investigate morphological structure parameters and local environments of distant moderate-luminosity AGN host galaxies in the overlap region between the HST/ACS observations of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS/ACS) and the two Chandra Deep Fields. We compute asymmetry and concentration indices and near-neighbor counts for ~34000 GOODS/ACS galaxies, including ~350 X-ray-selected AGN hosts.
Both the near-neighbor counts and the z850 asymmetries of the 233 resolved, z850<23 AGN host galaxies are consistent with the field values, implying no close connection between galaxy mergers and moderate-luminosity AGN activity out to appreciable lookback times (z <~ 1.3) approaching the epoch of peak AGN activity in the universe. The z850 concentration indices for the AGN hosts are clearly skewed towards larger values; this 7-sigma discrepancy is much larger than could be explained by the contribution of the nuclear point source to the hosts' optical emission. From this we infer that the tight correlation observed locally between supermassive central black hole mass and host galaxy properties (including concentration index) persists to the substantial redshifts of our AGN and control samples.
The multicolor GOODS/ACS imaging allows us to track the comparative evolution of these morphological and environmental indicators in rest-frame B-band out to z~1.3 using volume-limited samples constructed from AGN redshifts in the literature and ~10000 GOODS/ACS field galaxy photometric redshifts. The results described above for z850 also hold for rest-frame B-band in each of three redshift intervals spanning 0.4 < z < 1.3.

Indiana Rep. Mike Pence announced Thursday he won't seek the Republican nomination for president in 2012, but hinted a possible run for governor.
"In the choice between seeking national office and serving Indiana in some capacity, we choose Indiana," he said in a letter being sent to supporters. "We will not seek the Republican nomination for president in 2012."
The Indianapolis Star reported Pence said he would make a decision "later this year" about his next political steps.
The 51-year-old finished first in a presidential straw poll among social conservatives last September.
Many analysts predict Pence could easily win the GOP nomination to succeed Gov. Mitch Daniels. State law bars the Republican governor from seeking a third term.

Who is Patrick Finn
Born in England and raised in Ireland, Patrick Finn began his successful career as a carpenter in England at the age of eighteen. He soon achieved master craftsman status and was recognized for his integrity, attention to detail, old world craftsmanship, and genuine personality.
Patrick's fine craftsmanship and love for his work led him to pursue a larger market. He came to the United States in 1987 with his experience, dedication, determination, and desire to show his craft. In just a few short years, Patrick's work in the historic areas of Chicago and the North Shore took notice from prominent architects and designers. Patrick's name started to emerge and he took a leap of faith, sprinkled with some luck of the Irish, and founded his own construction company, Patrick A. Finn, Ltd. Custom Homes and Remodeling.
Patrick believed that quality and consistency were maximized through hiring his own team of talented employees. He wanted craftsman, laborers, and designers to share his same vision to complete a project on time and within budget that exceeded his customer's expectations. Patrick's reputation for fairness, value, and high quality quickly spread.
Since 1991, Patrick A. Finn, LTD has grown from a few remodeling projects to an impressive list of hundreds of award-winning remodeled and custom homes throughout Hyde Park, the North Shore, and the Northwest suburbs, primarily Arlington Heights and Barrington. Patrick's involvement with the customer and personal attention to each project assures that the high level of craftsmanship he learned about in England is incorporated into all of his homes today.

Q: I have a pair of umbrella cockatoos that are 7 years old. The female has laid eggs twice, but they have been infertile. It is now springtime here, and the male is very aggressive. It seems as though the female does not want to go into the nest. The male enters the nest. Is something wrong?
Kashmir Csaky explains:
Yes, your hen might not be healthy or they are not cycling together, and the bond between them might not be strong. You have had two clutches of infertile eggs and the female is reluctant to go into the nest. This is an indication that the pair might not have successfully copulated in the past. When one bird is cycling faster than the other, the best way to get the birds in sync is to encourage them to work their nest. You can accomplish this by making the wooden opening to the nest box small so that the birds will have to chew at the opening to gain entrance. Thus slowing down the eager bird and stimulating the bird that is not ready to nest.
Getting cockatoos to cycle together is very important. When pairs are not cycling together, the males are more likely to kill their mates. The deaths normally take place inside the nest box, so the design of the box should allow the female an avenue of escape. A T-shaped nest box with two entrances on the front is not very effective. The male can stand between the entrances and prevent the female from exiting, trapping her at the bottom of the nest. A nest box with openings in the front of the box and on the side increases the odds that the hen can escape. Once they are able to go inside the nest, make certain that both entrances are large enough to allow for a quick escape. Place a divider in the middle of the box to help prevent trapping of the hen by an aggressive male.

In no time, the sense of calm that pervaded Monet's work will envelop you, too.
Through May 12, the Cincinnati Art Museum celebrates the talents of the renowned 19th-century impressionist painter with "Monet in Giverny: Landscapes of Reflection," a retrospective comprising a dozen of his most famous images — including the iconic images of the Japanese footbridge, water lilies and wisteria.
"Monet's work truly appeals to the senses," muses Benedict Leca, the Cincinnati Art Museum's curator of European Painting, Sculpture and Drawing. "From the very beginning of his career, he understood reflection. His early work is defined by shimmering, moving water.
"But," the curator adds, "in later years, the artist shifted to a more contemplative, reflective practice. The crispness he used to depict fleeting light conditions in early works gave way to a preoccupation with pattern, overall effect and visual impact."
The result: a mood that's irresistible.
This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

The Brooklyn Nets are looking for a permanent replacement for the recently fired Avery Johnson, and they need to move past any cockamamie idea of hiring Phil Jackson to coach the team.
According to Howard Beck of the New York Times, the franchise has its sights set on hiring the Zen Master and plans to make him its No. 1 target when the hiring process begins in earnest.
No deal is imminent, no formal discussions have taken place, and it is not even clear that Jackson wants the job. But the search will start with Jackson and only Jackson, according to multiple people monitoring the process.
While Jackson would be an ideal coach for this underperforming squad—he does have 11 championship rings and is widely regarded as one of the best basketball minds of all time—he's highly unlikely to want such an undesirable position.
Aside from D-Will, Brooklyn has Gerald Wallace, Brook Lopez, Joe Johnson and a plethora of role players locked into long-term deals, and there is barely any wiggle room to make roster adjustments.
Any casual NBA observer will realize that while the Nets roster has some big names and a lot of firepower, they do not have the stars or roster makeup to win a championship—especially with a team like the Miami Heat capable of dominating the Eastern Conference for the foreseeable future.
Jackson has to be keenly aware of this, and it would take a Godfather offer to pry the 67-year-old Hall of Famer out of retirement. While Russian billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov has the deep pockets and desire to win, the cost of Jackson will likely be prohibitive.
Remember, Jackson was highly interested in returning to Los Angeles to coach the Lakers after Mike Brown was fired early in the 2012-13 season, but he made demands so ludicrous that the franchise by which he is revered had no choice but to rebuff them and go with Mike D'Antoni.
Considering that the Zen Master's interest level in the Nets gig will likely be much lower, we expect it'll take countless millions and other accommodations to bring him to the Brooklyn sideline.
Will the Nets land Phil Jackson?
We're not saying that Phil isn't going to end his retirement to coach the Nets, but the odds are long and the price will be exorbitant. Expect Brooklyn to go a different direction when it comes time to make a permanent hire.

Nickname: Hawks (1-8)
Coach: Angelo Sciandra, 13th season
Outlook: The Hawks' best player might be Chari Wright, a three-year starter. Anthony DiFrancesco returns for his third year at QB and honed his skills this offseason at the Cross Training skills camp for QBs and WRs. Senior WR Pat Castile and junior WR Zach Glowicki are both coming off broken legs. The line is big question with only 6-1, 210-pound senior guard Keith Carter returning. He will be surrounded by four sophomores. In the secondary Castile will play one corner and Glowicki the other. Depth is an issue with 120 boys in the school.

Coach: Dennis Gilbert, 3rd season
Outlook: Nigel Davis earned second team All-WNY DB as a sophomore last year. Leading a big line is senior LT Frank Spina (6-4, 250) is a three-year starter on the line. Wes Harvin (6-2, 240) returns at center. Two newcomers give Joe's even more size. Austin Greenwood (6-5, 250) is an incoming freshman from Kenmore. Tremaine Shelton (6-7, 250) is a transfer from Buffalo Arts. "We're going to be big, for sure, and we've got three stud skill guys back in Nigel Davis, Ilo Noble and Rod Payne, so we're really excited about what's going to happen," said Gilbert.

Nickname: Lancers (4-5)
Coach: Dave Hersey, 3rd season
Outlook: The Lancers will be led up front by LT Andrew Hoffman and center Robert Desiderio. They will open holes for junior RB Nick Vallone, who's coming off a 1,300-yard season. "Nick will only be as good as his offensive line, so those kids up front will have to be the leaders," said Hersey. The Lancers are looking for big things from senior WR/LB Alex Horvatis, a three-year varsity player. Sophomore Justin Hersey gets the call at QB after a strong JV year. The Lancers are hoping FB Bryan O'Neill has made a full recovery from last year's broken ankle. Junior Nate Keith returns at LB. Justin Green is a two-way tackle who had a strong offseason.

Two of the Vikings' top tacklers are coming off big freshman years, LB Kenny Williams (60 tackles) and Steve Glinski (52 tackles). Will LaHood, Andy Welchoff and Mitchell Shaw will be counted on for their line play. Nichols is playing all Section V teams except for O'Hara. Eight return on both sides of the ball.

I heard that when we buying face cream we have to look for the following ingredients: palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (matrixyl) and acetyl hexapeptide-3 (argireline) - it works like Botox ( I have read in a book "to younger thinner you"). So I decided to try this eye cream and I am surprised how good this cream is. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends and also it is much better than my favorite Lancome Absolute eye cream (is cheaper too). A+
Fantastic Product
Posted by Reviewer2538485 on Jul 27, 2009
Does exactly as it says. Removes crows feet wrinkles. I use matching wrinkle reverse serum for my face and it removed the wrinkles from my face. I have tried many different products, many high end and this product truly delivers. I am a convert to Derma E. now.
A very good eye creme
Posted by Reviewer3106204 on Aug 03, 2009
After a year of using this eye creme, I find the results are good for my mature skin. No eye creme removes wrinkles completely, but this creme softens them better than any I have tried. It works well and has safer ingredients than most eye cremes.
Posted by Reviewer2665010 on May 29, 2010
This eye cream is velvet soft, rich and exquisite. It has done wonders for the lines around my eyes. It softens the look of skin around your eyes and makes you look refreshed. Not heavy, absorbs well and you can put your eye make-up on after 10 minutes without it smudging. I love Derma E products.
Love this eye cream
Posted by Reviewer2704497 on Jul 06, 2010
Very nice eye cream, light texture - sinks in nicely and has almost no scent, I found this eye cream excellent for my very sensitive eyes - the wrinkles haven't disappered yet but skin around my eyes is sure a lot softer.
Absolutely Gorgeous
Posted by Reviewer2101940 on Nov 04, 2010
Love this eye and beleive me I have tried many. Also my sister is using it as we are both on the mature side. This cream makes the skin around my eyes feel moisturised all day without that tight dehydrated feeling. Well done Derma E 'a quality product' at a great price.
Posted by Reviewer1907255 on Nov 30, 2009
This is a really light non greasy eye cream that really sinks in well and moisturizes the delicate eye area. Also noticed a slight reduction in surface lines.
I thought it didn't work until I stopped using it!
Posted by 5694645127274172379 on Sep 18, 2015
The changes to my appearance were so subtle in time, so I did not really manage to notice that until I stopped using the cream and woke up with all my old wrinkles one not-so-fine day! I'm currently testing another Derma E cream, but planning to return to this one after.
doesn't irritate my eyes
Posted by Reviewer1008136 on Mar 08, 2010
almost every eye cream ive tried has irritated my eyes. this doesn't and it makes my eyes look young and refreshed.
Very good product

More than 758,000 registered voters in Pennsylvania do not have photo identification cards from the state Transportation Department, putting their voting rights at risk in the November election, according to data released Tuesday by state election officials.
The figures - representing 9.2 percent of the state's 8.2 million voters - are significantly higher than prior estimates by the Corbett administration. Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele has repeatedly said that 99 percent of Pennsylvania's voters already had the photo ID they will need at the polls in November.
The new numbers, based on a comparison of voter registration rolls with PennDot ID databases, shows the potential problem is much bigger, particularly in Philadelphia, where 186,830 registered voters - 18 percent of the city's total registration - do not have PennDot ID.

With chocolate eggs being exchanged all over the UK this Sunday in celebration of Easter Day, it's only right that today's blog is a chocolaty offering…
A brief history
One of the oldest cultivated plants, cocoa originated in the Amazon basin in South America and travelled north as far as Mexico. Indigenous tribes believed cocoa was planted by gods. Cocoa beans were so highly valued that they were used as money until the 1800s.
Aztecs and Mayans first created xocolatla – a hot chocolate drink often mixed with vanilla or chilli peppers. Ecuador was once the primary producer of cocoa, but today about 80 percent is grown in the West African nations of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana.
The cocoa tree
Cocoa beans come from the cacao tree. The cocoa belt is found exclusively around the equator, with most cacao trees growing within 10° of the equator. Cacao trees need a humid climate with a lot of rain. They grow best in the partial shade of large rainforest trees. As a result, the rainforest does not need to be destroyed to grow cocoa.
The cacao tree is an evergreen that grows to be 15-25 feet tall. The fruit, which is called a pod, grows directly from the trunk and can reach 4-12 inches in length. The pods ripen into a variety of colours such as red, yellow and purple. Each pod contains 20-60 cocoa beans, enclosed by sweet pulp.
Each tree produces only 50-60 pods a year, yielding 15-20 pounds of beans. A single pod can contain 20-40 beans, and it takes around 400 beans to make just one pound of chocolate! And here's how the chocolate is made…
The cocoa harvest takes place twice a year from November to January and May to July. The fruit is handpicked to protect the trees. Once harvested from the trees, the pods are opened and their seeds are removed.
First, the beans and pulp are laid in fermentation boxes. The process of fermentation produces heat requiring the beans to be stirred. At the end of the five-day fermentation process, the beans become brown, bitterness subsides and the flavour develops.
After fermentation, the beans still contain too much water to be turned into chocolate. The beans are spread out in the sunshine to dry. Most beans are sun-dried for up to 14 days. After drying, the beans are inspected and separated.
Roasting takes place at 210F for 10-115 minutes. Roasting sterilizes the beans, enhances flavour, and makes the next step much easier.
Winnowing is the process of taking the shells off of the beans. What is left over is the "nib," the most desired part of the bean.
The nibs are then ground, either by machine or between two stones. A liquid mass called cocoa liquor is produced. With more grinding and the addition of sugar, chocolate is made!
Conching is the process of mixing the cocoa mass (not yet chocolate). It is continuously mixed at a certain temperature to develop flavour, remove moisture and break down large pieces. This can take hours to days, depending on the desired outcome. The finest chocolates are conched for five days.
The next step is tempering. The chocolate is slowly heated and cooled allowing the cocoa mass to solidify and stabilise. Without tempering, the chocolate would separate and would not harden sufficiently.
Today, cocoa is the world's 3rd most traded agricultural product after coffee and sugar.
Cocoa and the Rainforest AllianceThe Rainforest Alliance works with cocoa farming communities to protect ecosystems and the people and wildlife that depend on them by transforming land-use practices. Companies, cooperatives and landowners that participate in our programmes meet rigorous standards that conserve biodiversity and provide sustainable livelihoods.
Plantations Arriba chocolate, which comes from Ecuador, was the first-ever chocolate bar available to consumers to carry the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal.
Mars, Inc., has committed to sourcing its entire supply of cocoa sustainably from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms by 2020. That will be over 100,000 tons of cocoa each year!
Happy Easter!

Longtime sheriff's chaplain Wayne Heintze has a new calling as part of his ministry: removing tattoos.
In the unassuming Houston clinic where he works, ink -- along with negative self-perceptions -- vanish, one session at a time.
"It's almost like you're able to erase a chapter of their life and turn the pages back in that book and give them the opportunity to take that different road," Heintze explained.
Many who come to the clinic are ex-offenders, like Thinisha Wright, who is a former prostitute. She believes her disappearing tattoos represent a new, drug-free life with a plan to become a social worker.
It's painful to get a tattoo removed, but for Wright, it's worth it to no longer be labeled "hated," as her tattoo reads. She and her sheriff's department counselor watch as the tattoo is "erased."
"I can't erase all the years that I've done, and I've done a lot of damage in my life," she said. "But I can start by making a new statement about how life should be."
Her former life involved time at the county jail.
Almost all the female inmates wish they hadn't "tatted up" their bodies. Chaplain Heintze meets a lot of his tattooed clients at the jail. The removal of tattoos is part of a re-entry program for offenders that also includes drug and job counseling.
"Until they get rid of the tattoo, they're not going to be able to get a good-paying job," he said. He provides the women with the tools and help they need when they leave jail.
"He knows where we've been because he's worked out there," Wright shared. "But he also knows where we could be, if we chose to change our life."
Chaplain Heintze removes the tattoos at a big discount to ex-offenders in exchange for community service. The gesture comes at a great cost, however. The chaplain revealed the clinic still hasn't broken even.
Still, for Chaplain Heintze, it's not about the money.
"I guess the easiest way to describe it is that everything in our life works great," he shared. "We have wonderful kids. We both have jobs. And for us not to try to help somebody else? That's just wrong."
