City bumbles on Chuckanut Ridge extensionPermalink +
Wed, Aug 04, 2010, 10:12 am // John Servais
Our mayor, Dan Pike, has much to answer for regarding Chuckanut Ridge. He and the Planning Department are playing a cozy game with Greenbriar Northwest Associates (GNA) and their development rights to Chuckanut Ridge. Dan is acting against the best interests of Bellingham - and is keeping even the City Council in the dark about what is happening.
Let me lay out some specifics, with some questions.
We learned this week that Bellingham Planning Department interim director, Jeffrey Thomas, granted a three month extension to GNA for their Environmental Impact Statement submittal, from July 30 to October 29. The letter from GNA's attorney, Bob Tull, requesting the extension was sent on Friday, July 23 and the extension was very quickly granted a week later, Friday, July 30. This looks like a quietly prearranged deal because the request letter is very short and the wording is almost gobbly gook, saying a "partial change of ownership" has made this extension necessary. That change took place seven months ago.
To submit this request only a week before their deadline suggests a lot of confidence in getting the extension. It also avoids any public discussion of the issue, as it happens so quickly. A normally reliable source says Planning Director Thomas only checked with David Webster, the mayor's assistant, and someone in the legal department. The mayor has been on a month-long vacation to the East Coast. So whether or not he was made aware of this extension request is a question. Regardless, the City Council has the authority to control such extensions and a check with several Council members reveals none of them knew anything about this.
Here is what I did not know until today: the EIS deadline has been extended at least once before, and maybe several times. It was set to expire at the end of March. But in March, Bob Tull requested, and then-Planning Director Tim Stewart granted, a three month extension to - you guessed it - July 30. In March, Tull cited "internal ownership change" as his reason for requesting an extension. It also appears there was an earlier extension from December 30, 2009 - but I do not have solid evidence of that.
So, here are a few questions. How many quiet and unpublicized extensions has GNA received? Why? And why has the City Council not been told of these extensions? Regardless of the citing of Bellingham Codes by Jeffrey and Tim, this issue of extensions is a Council prerogative. To not even inform them is something the mayor needs to answer for.
Now combine those unpublicized extensions with the closing of Horizon Bank and the transfer of all their assets to Washington Federal in early January - including the GNA and the ownership of the approximately 100 acres of Chuckanut Ridge. The mayor told us in January he was in negotiations with the bank to buy the land for the city. I was told by others involved that the mayor was going to keep the City Council updated on progress. So, many of us kept quiet to allow the negotiations to move forward without any public noise. With the City Council in the loop, we could wait for a good solution. One Council member told me in April, that based on Council briefings by the mayor, his understanding was that an agreement was close. Apparently since then the Council has not been kept up to date.
The city, by extending these deadlines, is actually artificially propping up the value of the land. The city is causing the property purchase to cost us millions more. The mayor is acting against the best interests of the city by allowing the extensions. And it all seems to be quietly arranged by verbal agreement with short cryptic letters serving as the public record.
I've communicated with several City Council members in the past couple days. They know nothing about what is going on. They have no idea where the negotiations are. They did not know of the this latest extension - and only learned about it two days ago on this website. The Herald has had nothing. And of course, the Council members probably did not know of the earlier extensions as I'm posting that information for the first time here.
Since January the city has had a golden opportunity to buy this pristine land for much less than $10 million. Not all the land is needed to preserve the wetlands, springs and stream sources. The southwest third of the land is perfect for upscale home lots and could probably be sold in a few years for almost $10 million. Or the city could buy a third of the property for a few million and the bank could donate property for a park and get a huge tax write-off because the city's purchase price would set the value of the land. The city has had seven months - with the needed money earmarked in the Greenways Levy account - to cut a super deal for this land. And now here we are, eight months into it, and we learn our mayor is propping up the value of the land for the owners. Who knows - they might turn down the city and sell to some other developer - complete with very nice extensions for submitting plans.
The mayor arrives home today from his very long time away. He has much to answer for.

The Council is statutorily charged with the authority and responsibility to condition every development proposal in the best interests of the community. They have generally delegated much of that authority to the Planning Director for routine administrative matters, but also retain the overall responsibility for policy issues.
In this case, there are some very thorny issues related to the questionable vesting of an incomplete and erroneous application, and the application of outdated, inadequate critical areas standards.
The DEIS quite clearly demonstrated that the proposal as framed would have devastating effects on publicly owned wetlands and two salmon streams. The Council may very well want to weigh in on their policy of protecting critical wetlands. How long should we continue to apply standards we already know to be insufficient?

What a trip it was.
Forget all the cultural experiences and think about just the baseball for a moment.
The Anderson Monarchs baseball team, 15 10- and 11-year-olds from South Philadelphia, saw eight Major League Baseball games on their 4,000-mile barnstorming trip around the country. And in the eight pro games the Monarchs watched, the home team went undefeated.
More teams are going to want the Monarchs to visit.

The EU Commission has forecast that the Irish economy will grow by 3% next year. This is one of the highest levels of growth forecast in this morning's figures from the Commssion.
At 3% predicted growth, Ireland is alongside other countries who experienced massive falls in recent years, like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The Commission says that the economy will fall by 0.9% this year. This again is an upward revision from a previous forecast for a 1.4% fall. Its figures say the economy here declined by 7.1% last year. This compares to a previous forecast of -7.5%.
Read the full forecast here
European Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said that Ireland took bold, credible consolidation efforts and fiscal consolidation is paying off now, and that the Irish economy is recovering.
'It is essential Ireland will continue to take measures of fiscal consolidation and if needed take even further measures,' he added.
Meanwhile, the euro zone economy as a whole is set to grow by 0.9% this year, faster than previously thought, the EU Commission said today, but debt-laden Greece's economy is set to contract by 3%.
'The improved outlook for economic growth this year is good news for Europe,' said EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, Olli Rehn.
'We must now ensure that growth will not be derailed by risks related to financial stability. Sustainable growth calls for determined fiscal consolidation efforts and reforms that enhance productivity and employment,' he said.
The 0.9% economic growth forecast for the euro zone contrasts sharply with the unprecedented 4.1% contraction in recession-hit Europe last year. In February, when the commission released its previous forecasts, the growth this year was put at 0.7%.
For the 27-nation EU as a whole the economic growth forecast for 2010 was put at 1%.
But the situation is very different for Greece, as its euro zone partners prepare a multi-billion euros rescue package to prevent it defaulting on its massive debts.
The prediction of a 3% contraction in the economy contrasts sharply wuth the earlier estimate of a much more gentle fall of 0.3% foreseen last November.
For 2011, Brussels still sees the Greek economy in recession, though with the economic squeeze limited to 0.5%. In November, growth of 0.7% was predicted for next year.
For Spain and Portugal, the two euro zone countries considered most at risk after Greek, the commission revised its growth predictions upwards. For Spain it see a rise in economic activity of 0.4% this year, while the rate for Portugal was put at 0.5%.

When it's this hot you can lose up to two quarts of fluids each hour. With hundreds of brands, flavors and varieties of refreshing options on the beverage aisle, how do you choose which one to drink?
Health leaders said the best choice is always water! You've probably heard you should be drinking at least eight glasses of water every day.
This is true, but varies from person-to-person. According to the Washington Department of Health, men should have more than 13-eight-ounce glasses a day while women need nine. If you're active or pregnant you'll need to drink even more than that.

Saucing is when you cum all over a female. Whether it's on her back side, tummy, face or if it's really serious and she doesn't want to waste the "Sauce" then she'll hoover it in the mouth.

Political Potholes: Raising Taxes for Roads By Sue Lincoln • May 6, 2015 Louisiana's $1.6-billion budget hole is doing nothing to help with the state's $14-billion backlog of road and bridge projects. "We kicked the can down the road, but we lost it in a pothole. And we can't get the can out," says House Transportation chair Karen St. Germain.

At one school, many students are adjusting to a change: no more yellow school buses. When Miller McCoy Academy started back up on Monday, many students who had relied on yellow buses had to find a new way there.

Airline staff travel
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
One of the perquisites that the airline industry provides its employees is free or discounted travel. Since the traveler in this case is the staff of a particular airline, the benefit is widely known as staff travel and is either offered internally within a company or by independent companies. By and large, staff travel does not bring much revenue to the airline and is hence referred to as non-revenue or non-rev in some parts of the world.
Staff travel[edit]
The airline industry sees staff travel to be one of the most sought after motivational and retention strategies. On the flip side, most of the staff travel that happens in the industry is standby. This would mean that a confirmed seat is not given to the staff member for this travel. Rather, a listing and no booking happens for staff travel. This makes staff travel unpredictable and there are chances of the staff being "bumped off" from the flight, in case the flight is full and there are revenue passengers that receive priority. Although staff can receive heavily discounted tickets, it can sometimes become a costly journey if they are bumped off flights. This results in them having to purchase last minute full price tickets to get back to their home port. Many companies have strict rules that if staff travel privileges are utilized, the staff member MUST be back for their next shift, otherwise it could lead to suspension of privileges or termination of job.
Since the staff travel is a privilege given to the employee, most airlines also maintain a policy for administering staff travel. The staff travel function generally falls under human resources and in some cases under customer services or marketing. If the airline's employees are numerous enough, a separate department is also maintained to cater to this process.
Staff travel departments[edit]
In most airlines the staff travel department (also referred to as a Pass Bureau) handles all the activities related to staff travel. Leisure travel (standby and confirmed) for employees, spouse and dependents, companions and/or domestic partners, leisure travel for executives, furlough travel, retiree travel, travel for dependents of deceased employees all comprise the regular activities of the staff travel department.
Yet another major activity that comes under the purview of the staff travel department is duty travel (also referred to as business travel). This would involve the arrangement of flights, accommodations and occasionally car rentals for employees who travel for company business. This travel may be on the company's airline or another airline depending on the travel destination. Unlike leisure travel that the employee does at their own will, business travel is more critical because employees are traveling for business purposes, and ensuring a smooth service to them is important, but there is a cost involved and optimizing it is critical.
Apart from this, the staff travel department also becomes responsible for arrangements for visiting consultants to the airline, which may be grouped along with business travel and travel of temporary employees. Other activities that may be done by the staff travel department include jumpseat travel, vendor travel, travel agency travel, and deadhead travel. At times, the responsibilities related to staff travel for a partner airline may also be handled by the main airline's staff travel desk.
The touch points of the staff travel team within an airline organization include the human resources team, payroll, revenue accounting, finance and IT. The staff travel services get used by almost everyone in the organization, including retirees. Being an internal service department, the staff travel team is often evaluated based on the feedback from the staff. Maintaining positive public relations and keeping the employees happy remains one of the key goals of this team.
Some of the challenges that staff travel team faces include the high volume manual process, cost, resources (manpower and materials), having a proper form of payment, revenue analysis, employee relations and communication, and limited operating hours. Other difficulties include the cumbersome refund processes associated with staff travel, assessing eligibility (or lack thereof), assessing applicable taxes, taking credit cards and security issues surrounding forms of payment, record keeping, interline pricing and taxes, interline billing, accruing IT help to automate the process and the development cost in automating staff travel.

Handheld Vs. Non-Handheld Traffic: Implications for Campus WiFi Networks
Smartphones, portable music players, and other handheld devices have become a major computing platform. Wherever users go, they utilize 3G and WiFi connectivity to access a wide array of Internet services. The small, mobile nature of these devices results in a uniquemix of application and network usage. As more handheld devices connect to campus, enterprise, and community WiFi networks, administrators need to adjust their network's configuration to cope with the unique traffic characteristics of handhelds. Other studies have used WiFi and 3G wireless traces to analyze session, mobility, and performance characteristics for handheld devices.

I love my new smile! I am very happy with my results and I am always feeling right at home thanks to the amazing staff! I have told multiple people to check out Dr. Sheffield's office and that I am very happy!! It is the best!
- Barbara L.
Because of Tori's reluctance to smile, we decided it was time to pursue some orthodontic treatment. Her teeth were pretty bad, and definitely affected her self confidence. We were referred by some neighbors, and couldn't have been more pleased with each visit. The staff were amazing. Her braces are now off, and we are not only happy with the results but proud that her smile is back! Thanks to you all.
- Ronda N.
I have been very satisfied with the process and particularly the efficiency of the staff and time. It has been a very positive experience for my daughter and I appreciate the care for each and every visit.
- Jolene C.
We've been very pleased with our daughter's care. The staff has been very friendly and capable, and any emergencies have been quickly accommodated. Our two oldest children now have gorgeous straight smiles, and we'll definitely be bringing our youngest to Dr. Sheffield as well.
- Sarah S.
Thank you! Everyone deserves a beautiful smile. It inspires confidence and presence before a word is spoken. Our first child looks amazing and handsome, and now our second child, too. I will spend my life adoring theses two, handsome men and their beautiful smiles!
- Darlene F.
We have completed Joseph's second phase with Dr. Sheffield. We are thrilled with the results! Thank you to all the staff who have always been courteous, friendly & helpful. Thank you to Dr. Sheffield for the excellent care and attention to our son's treatment.
- Joseph D.
Dr. Rob + Staff were very gentle and kind. It was such a great orthodontic experience. We are very happy with our beautiful new smile. We never felt any pressure to proceed with treatment. The kids really love all the fun prizes and the feeling of fun & family!
- Havana M.
Our experience has been wonderful here at Dr. Sheffield's office. All the dental assistants have been extremely wonderful. Sarah has been especially instrumental in this experience for Cecilia. She has always answered all questions, and has demonstrated professionalism and extreme patience with both Cecilia and us. Dr. Sheffield has been very nice to work with, and Cecilia loves his personality. We would like to thank you all.
- Letty S.
Both my daughters have gone through full orthodontic treatments and both have beautiful smiles. Thanks to the office staff for your organizational skills, setting our appointments to work with school and after school activities. Also making my girls feel comfortable and answering all our questions. Great experience overall and two beautiful smiles to show off.
- Lynn F.
I had a good experience with my braces. Glad they are off. Some people don't usually smile with their braces but I was proud and I still am.
- Haley M.
The staff here are excellent! They always put the patient first and are really sweet. Thanks so much!
- Amanda H.
My whole family has had braces, except Dad. My Mom trusts this office and so did my brother. Now I do, too. This was a great experience and has taught me what I need to do to keep my mouth healthy. Thank you Dr. Sheffield & staff!
- Tyler F.
As far as braces go, this experience was much better than my first time when I was a child. The fact that I had to have them again is an indicative of how much they didn't know 20 years ago. I am confident that this time will be the last time!
The staff are excellent and Dr. Sheffield's observations and treatment were spot on! I now have a great smile that I have no doubt will last forever. Thank you all!!!
- Lisa W.

http://pvaworld.info/sample-page/imac/ iMac Review: Now all iMac models come standard with Intel Core processors built on a new architecture. Based on Intel's 32-nanometer process technology, these processors set new benchmarks for iMac performance.The available quad-core Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor in the 27-inch iMac puts four processing cores on one die, so data doesn't have to travel far to get from core to core.Many iMac models now benefit from Turbo Boost technology built into the Intel Core series processors. If you're using a processor-intensive application such as Aperture 3 or Final Cut Pro that benefits from extra performance, Turbo Boost dynamically increases the speed of available cores.Every iMac includes powerful discrete graphics, meaning the graphics processor is separate from the CPU. So whether you're an amateur filmmaker or an avid gamer, iMac gives you faster, smoother, crisper graphics no matter which model you choose.The 21.5-inch iMac offers fast graphics performance with either the ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256MB of dedicated memory or the ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB of memory. Which one is right for you? The greater the memory, the faster the performance for graphics-intensive applications such as games and video editors.When you step up to the 27-inch iMac, you can choose the ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB of memory. Or enjoy amazing performance with the ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. You'll notice the speed boost every time you run your favorite 3D applications and games.Games scream on iMac, thanks to advanced ATI graphics. The discrete ATI Radeon HD 4670 processor delivers faster performance compared to the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M processor in the previous-generation iMac. That'll keep you on your game, even inside the complex 3D environments of Call of Duty 4 or EVE. For faster graphics performance, choose an iMac with the ATI Radeon HD 5670 or ATI Radeon HD 5750.

AUSTIN (AP) - President Bush's 19-year-old twin daughters allegedly tried to illegally purchase alcohol at a popular Austin restaurant, Austin police said Wednesday.
Police said they received a 911 call at 10:19 p.m. Tuesday from the manager of Chuy's restaurant in south Austin, who said that minors were attempting to purchase alcohol.
Officers who arrived said Bush's daughters, Jenna and Barbara, "were alleged to have been involved in this incident," according to a statement released Wednesday afternoon by the Austin Police Department.
"As no offense was witnessed by APD officers, following routine procedures, further investigation is required to determine if any charges will be filed," the statement said.
Police said Jenna Bush tried to purchase the alcohol using someone else's ID. Barbara did not, police said.
The legal drinking age in Texas is 21.
Jenna Bush's attorney, William P. Allison, could not immediately be reached for comment.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan declined comment.
"If it involves the daughters in their private lives, it is a family matter," he said.
When asked whether President Bush was aware of this latest incident, McClellan repeated the statement.
Less than a month ago, Jenna Bush pleaded no contest to a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol in connection with another incident.
The no-contest plea stemmed from a ticket police issued while checking for minors in possession of alcohol at nightclubs along the popular East Sixth Street entertainment district April 27.
She was ordered to pay $51.25 in court costs, serve eight hours of community service and attend six hours of alcohol awareness classes.
Jenna Bush is a student at the University of Texas in Austin. Barbara attends Yale University.

WASHINGTON - The House on Friday overwhelmingly approved a major expansion of federal farm supports, defying the White House and repudiating the free-market policy enacted by Republicans in 1996.
The Bush administration stopped short of threatening a veto but said the cash will benefit big farms that need it the least while promoting more price-depressing surpluses of crops.
Rep. Larry Combest, R-Lubbock, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, said in a news release, "Today, we are exactly at the point where I wanted to be two years ago, when I set out to make needed permanent improvements in our farm policy. It is the product of more than two years of earnest and bipartisan work by the House Agriculture Committee.
"It is a balanced approach that recognizes the very real economic and societal problems that are pressing rural America and employs market-oriented and proactive policies to fix them. The bill also makes important and significant changes to improve the administration of our food assistance programs and to help ensure no American goes hungry."
U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon, defended passing the bill over White House objections, saying the White House gave no opinion on the bill until it was on the floor of the House.
"We needed to pass the bill this year," Thornberry said. "This bill has a real safety net when prices are low and keeps people in business. That's why we needed the bill right now. It's a good bill for our region.
"I think it passed by an impressive margin, more than two-thirds. I hope that gives us some momentum in the Senate."
The bill, which would cost $170 billion over 10 years, creates a new subsidy program to protect grain, cotton and soybean growers when prices are low and revives supports for sheep and honey producers that were eliminated in the 1990s.
Authors of the legislation, approved 291-120, say the existing financial safety net for farmers has proven inadequate.
"The 1996 farm bill is an utter failure," said Texas Rep. Charles Stenholm of Stamford, senior Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee.
The "Freedom to Farm" law was supposed to wean farmers from government supports, but when grain prices collapsed in 1998, lawmakers responded with a series of multibillion-dollar bailouts that discouraged growers from cutting production.
The bill would boost commodity programs by $49 billion, or about 63 percent, over existing supports, with the bulk of the money going to the grain, cotton and soybean farmers that have traditionally dominated farm programs.
Conservation spending would grow by $16 billion, or about 75 percent over current programs, with much of those benefits going to livestock operations and fruit and vegetable growers.
Farmers have "outmaneuvered nearly every other interest group in terms of capturing more federal dollars. It's mind-boggling how effective they are," said Bruce Babcock, an agricultural economist at Iowa State University.
The legislation "returns predictability to government farm support, and ensures a level of security to our farming operations that has been missing the last several years," said Dusty Tallman, president of the National Association of Wheat Growers.
The Senate Agriculture Committee is expected to start work on its version of the bill later this month.
The administration unsuccessfully appealed to the House to delay work on the legislation, saying it was too soon after the Sept. 11 attacks to commit as much $170 billion to farm programs. By increasing subsidies, the bill also would undermine U.S. efforts to lower foreign trade barriers, the White House says.
The administration wants more money put into conservation programs that reward farmers for cutting back on runoff of fertilizer and animal waste.
"We do believe there can be additional things added into the bill to reach a broader number of people and a broader number of farmers," Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said.
With the federal budget surplus vanishing, farm lobbyists are pushing the Senate to work as quickly as possible. The House bill uses $73.5 billion in surplus funds that were set aside in a congressional budget agreement this spring before the economy went sour.
The Senate committee's chairman, Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin, wants to steer more money into conservation programs. But his home state is the biggest beneficiary of existing programs, and the committee is dominated by senators representing midwestern and southern states that are major producers of subsidized crops.
The House agreed to move $1 billion in crop subsidies into rural development programs, but narrowly rejected the biggest challenge to the legislation, a proposal to use $19 billion in crop supports for conservation. That would have benefited states in the East and West that traditionally receive little farm assistance.

Acer Aspire V3-771G

Reviews for the Acer Aspire V3-771G
Goodbye Ethos. Acer uses the change to the new Intel Ivy Bridge processors as an opportunity for completely renaming single ranges. For example, the prior Ethos range will now be called Aspire V3. However, the alignment remains unchanged: we are dealing with the premium multimedia sector.
Source: Engadget
For a sub-$1,000 15-inch laptop, the Acer Aspire V3 delivers the goods. A quad-core Ivy Bridge CPU and NVIDIA Kepler graphics give it multitasking and gaming chops, while the keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience. Sure, the display has a plain ol' 1,366 x 768 pixel count and the whole package weighs a backpack-unfriendly 5.8 pounds, but you at least get a DVD drive, strong selection of ports and decent audio.

Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
An Ivy Bridge-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.3 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4000 GPU running at 650-1100 MHz on a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

CALL NOW TO WINPosted Wednesday, February 23, 2011, at 2:18 PM
You jump in your car, flip on the radio and the DJ says, "CALL NOW TO WIN ..." Or maybe you are at home or work and those words come over the speakers. So, like crazy you grab your phone and start dialing. Tons of people do this ritual every day, several times a day.
For me it has become a hobby, and luckily it has paid off very well. The very first time I believe I ever won anything was when I was around 7 or 8 and the local grocery store was giving away a washer and dryer set. Needless to say, every time we went shopping, I would put my mom and dad's name in the box. Well, that paid off for mom and dad. I'm in my 30's now, and that dryer worked until about 3 years ago. I would love to go back and revisit that moment, just to hear what my mom and dad might have said.
In my teens all I remember winning was tickets to local gospel concerts traveling through. Then in my early 20's it was country concerts. I moved to a large city in the early 2000's and I kept right along with trying to win things. I have been very fortunate to see a lot of bands that I normally would not have had the money to see, gone to Broadway musicals, movie tickets, have met a few celebrities along the way, and last but not least the ever popular radio station t-shirt.
One year, I won tickets to a concert in the city I live in, and the concert was cancelled. I was looking forward to this particular concert, not that I don't look forward to them all, but this was one of my all-time favorite bands. I was bummed, and a friend of mine decided to take me out to dinner that night to keep my mind off of the concert cancellation. As I was going out the front door, my phone rang (before cell phones), so I answered. It was a gentleman who said my name and asked was I bummed that the concert was cancelled. I replied yes, and he asked me would I like to see this band in another large city? I told him of course I would! He then told me that I was one of the lucky 5 winners that were being flown out of state to see this popular band. I could not believe my ears. I had never flown anywhere in my life. So 2 weeks later a friend and I flew out of town, was then picked up by a limo, taken to the concert and then put up in a nice hotel for the night and flew back home the next day. Whew! What a whirlwind of events. I felt like I was on the CBS television show "The Amazing Race". We didn't know where we were going, how we were getting there, and were rushing around from place to place. It was a crazy trip, but a memorable one, nonetheless.
One of the latest winnings was front row seats to a sold out concert for a singing "teen idol". Once we got to the show, my sister and I found out that we would be going on stage with this singer, as his backup singers. I will never, ever forget that night. We were both so star struck, and giggling like little girls.
So, the next time you see a sweepstakes box or hear "CALL NOW" on the radio, go ahead try it. It just might be your lucky day.
