A local spear-fisherman was thrust into an international spotlight this week after pictures of his two-hour, deep-sea fight with a 12-foot tiger shark in June appeared in an adventure-travel magazine.
Craig B. Clasen, 32, who lives in New Orleans, said the dramatic pictures were taken as he dove with a snorkel and spear gun near an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, just south of the mouth of the Mississippi River. They appeared in the March 2009 issue of Outside magazine, which chronicled the encounter as part of a feature story on spear fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
That June day, Clasen and his fishing buddies Cameron Kirkconnell of Florida and Brian Head of Mississippi were in search of yellowfin tuna. Ryan McInnis, a videographer from North Carolina, and D.J. Struntz, a photographer from North Carolina, dove alongside them, fishing and capturing footage for a video on the sport, Clasen said in an interview early Thursday.
Toward the end of the expedition, Struntz shot a fish and began hauling it up to the surface, angling his way past an elaborate system of safety cords. Clasen tried to clear a way for him when he suddenly heard a strange, muffled yell, he said.
Puzzled, Clasen cast a glance toward the direction of the yell. He saw a shark swimming near McInnis, Clasen said.
Seconds later, the shark thrust its snout at McInnis. McInnis, holding his underwater video camera as if it were a shield, deflected the shark's blow. He then pressed the camera against the top of the shark's head and pushed it back, Clasen said.
Clasen decided to act. He paddled toward McInnis and positioned himself in between the shark and his friend, keeping his primed spear gun trained on the shark.
A deadly staring contest followed, Clasen said. The shark spent the next several minutes trying to circle behind Clasen and McInnis. The friends hoped it would give up and leave, but its circles grew even tighter.
The tiger shark then rolled. Thinking it was about to charge, Clasen fired the spear gun and struck the shark in the gills, he said.
The shark dove deep. Knowing the shot was painful and lethal, Clasen swam after it, hoping to put it down so it wouldn't suffer as much.
All told, Clasen shot the shark in the head six times, as his fellow divers handed over their guns one at a time. None struck its brain, and the shark survived each blow. Clasen then tied a rope around the shark's tail fin and tried to drown it.
"It was a 1,000-pound animal," Clasen said. "I tried to finish the job as humanely as possible."
Only the shark survived that move, as well.
Finally, Clasen killed the shark by stabbing it with a long blade. The encounter lasted about two hours, he said.
The friends cut a fillet from the shark and ate it sashimi style, Clasen told Outside.
Struntz snapped pictures as it happened. In one photo, Clasen clings to the upright shark's fins with his left hand as he swims behind it, minutes after the shark charged McInnis. In another, he jabs a knife's blade just under the shark's throat.
Clasen said his phone has been ringing non-stop since about 2 a.m. Thursday, just days after the Outside article was published. "I can't imagine this is happening," he said. "It's unreal."
The New York Post, British tabloids and several Web sites ran pictures and a story about Clasen's experience early Thursday morning.
Clasen has been free diving near oil rigs, which harbor a plethora of fishing life around them, since he was 16. He said he has encountered sharks a number of times, but had never seen a shark openly attack him or a fellow diver.
"I always hoped not harassing them would mean they wouldn't harass you," he said Thursday.
He said he's thankful he saved his friend's life, but regrets how much the shark had to suffer.
"That is one of the few times in my career as a hunter and fisher that I felt truly remorseful at the end of the day," he said.

Embroidery today is not only done by hand but by machines as well. These machines are more efficient in their production as compared to the work of hand and can produce consistent embroidery work in bulk. Working by hand requires expertise, neatness and stability of hand so that you don't mess up the design but in machines all you need to do is feed the designs and the machines draws it for you and decorates it with different threads in the same way an embroiderer would do by his hand but it will take him much longer to do just that as compared to a machine. Nowadays machines are also used in making Custom embroidered Patches that are used for school badges, uniforms for a society, a community or an institute. In some cases, these patches consist of fancy designs that are used on dresses, cushions and quilts as well.
These patches are different from the patches available in market because they depend upon the design, color shades and backing that you requested them to make for you. Custom embroidered patches are usually used by security companies or the army because they have patches on their uniform that are removable or that have a secret kind of seal in the patch that usually comes in security backing where you can add any kind of information in the backing and when you iron it to the cloth this information gets attached to your shirt permanently. Similarly, Velcro backing for patches is used by Army or military members because these patches need to be on and off the uniform a lot.
There are two kinds of edges that are available for these embroidered patches. One is merrowed edge which is basically a very neat form of edging done with a thread with stain stiches in it to fill out all the outer edges of the design. While in Laser edge a laser beam seals the patch in such a way that the edges are clean and no thread is required to make it neat. Such kinds of patches are used on all kinds of materials from dresses to t-shits and quilts or cushion covers etc.
Embroidery Patches are a very convenient way to make your dress or fabric look appealing and attractive without going through the hard labor of making the patch yourself. These patches are mostly embroidered by machines because they require specific form of backing which handmade embroidered patches don't have. No backing or button loop backing is mostly used for such handmade embroidered patches. Other different kinds of backings are only done by machine so it is difficult for a person to do them by hand.
Various kinds of backs for Custom Embroidery patches available in market
You would be amazed by the kinds of materials in which these patches are made so that they can stick to the material they were made for. Some of the major kinds of patches are iron on patches, plastic patches, pin patches, adhesive patch, no backing patch and magnetic patch. In iron on patches, the patch is pasted on the cloth by placing it on the fabric the way you want it and press it on the patch by a hot iron. The glue under the patch will melt and stick to the cloth attaching the patch to the cloth permanently. In Pin patches a pin is attached to the underside of the patch to help it stick to the cloth. These patches are removable. In No backing patches,the threads of embroidery in the back are open and these patches are not as stiff as the others are so they are mostly ordered to be sewn upon a cloth or fabric. In adhesive patches, the back has a particular kind of patch on it that you peel and let the patch stick to the desired fabric. In Magnetic backing of a patch, small magnets are attaches to the underside of the patch. This helps it stick to whatever material you are using for the embroidery to get attached to.
You can buy all types of custom patches online. Our store is like make your own badge service. Its a specialized custom patches service. Our most famous products are:-

Review: Eminem and Kings of Leon's MTV Movie Awards performances
Although billed as the MTV Movie Awards, the music channel still managed to squeeze in a few musical performances in tonight's the two-hour show...not that the songs had anything remotely to do with the awards. I know it's a crazy notion, but would it have been so wrong for MTV to have included performances of demographic-appropriate songs featured in some of the nominated movies for performances, such as Paramore's "Decode" (from "Twilight") or "Jai Ho" (even the wretched Pussycat Dolls' westernized version) from "Slumdog Millionaire." The answer is clearly yes.
Instead, we get performances from Eminem, who's plugging his new album "Relapse" and Kings of Leon, who add a hipness quotient to the proceedings.
By the way, I considered it cheating to read my colleague Dan Feinberg's blog of the show, which he did live, whereas I'm watching the West Coast tape delay so I have no idea what he thought of the performances.
First up is Eminem, 23 minutes into the show. With the opening of "We Made You" playing, he's still riding Jessica Simpson, pretending it's she instead of Charmagne Tripp singing the chorus (which is the best part of the song, by the way). As much as I disliked "Relapse," the album which features "We Made You," the tune is one of the catchier tracks on the CD (and one of the few that Eminem can sing on a TV show).
There is something very compelling about watching Eminem perform. Crouched low, hand wildly gesticulating, he commands every inch of the stage, but is smart enough to put other diversions on stage, such as the partial marching band or his rapping partner, Hypeman Denaun.
In what must be a world record, Eminem makes it a good two minutes before he has to be bleeped as he segues into "Crack a Bottle." As masterful a live performer as Eminem may be, he can't save this song. I hadn't noticed it during "We Made You," but is he lipsyncing? I didn't think so at the start, but there are a few times when I still hear his voice, but the microphone is nowhere near his mouth. This segment is mercifully short.
Throughout his performance, the show cuts to various stars in the audience-- Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz, Miley Cyrus-all looking like they should be much more into Eminem than they actually are.
But wait. It turns out Eminem and Kings of Leon aren't the only musical performers. Here's LeAnn Rimes singing "I jizz in my pants" as part of a tribute to the music from host Andy Samberg's digital shorts. Is it a ballsy, so to speak, move or a career killer? My impression is that she's tired of playing by the rules and any of her fans who may be offended aren't watching anyway. Chris Isaak sings "Lazy Sunday" as if its straight from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Then we get Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker delivering a masterful "Dick in a Box." Pointless, but it woke me up.
Oh, look: there is a best song from a movie category. Again-why not have some of those artists perform? Miley Cyrus wins for "The Climb" from "The Hannah Montana" soundtrack. She's the first person to thank God, but even God is probably wondering why she's wearing a dress better suited for someone twice her age.
Now it's 10:37 p.m. and it's Kings of Leon's turn. The Followill boys are performing current hit "Use Somebody." Unlike Eminem, they seem to be singing live. Oddly, the camera shots stray from the band so much, that it's distracting. I'm not sure why a shot looking down from the rafters where the band is barely visible is a good choice. Could it be because the performance-as good as they sound-is damn dull? They show way more personality in the MTV promo following their performance where they're on the golf course than they do during their show appearance.
My award for best musical performance of the night? It came early and it left us wanting more: the Keyboard Cat. Host Andy Samberg teased us with a clip of a piano-playing puss whose music would come on if someone's acceptance speech ran too long. Oh how we longed for his return. It never came...

Israeli minister and rabbis call for Pride parade to be banned
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Yet again religion and its supporters show viciously intolerant and hateful they are.
What a real pity that despite the fact that Israel was founded in the wake of the Holocaust that Jewish religious leaders have no issue with promoting intolerance against a group of people (the gays that is) also persecuted by the Nazis. Shows the sheer irrationality and hypocrisy of religion.
I have studied Jessica Green's report here and my initial thought falls on the recent election of right wingers' like Benjamin Netanyahu (he's very right wing) and things Gay are frowned on. Even right wing politicions in Isreal know there is a Gay community, indigenous to Isreal and not imported. These citizens of Isreal fought and died in the 1948 Arab uprising against them and I have no doubt, the 1967, six day war. There must be many Gay soldiers, Sailors and Airmen in the Isreali Military. I am sure, If the Pride Parade, marched against the 'Right Wing' incumbants in Isreal, then someone would have to sit up and take notice. I really do'nt think it's all down to Religious zelots doing the damage.
Simon, I'm not a bit fan of religion myself, but please understand that a member "of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party" is not just any religious leader. My understanding is that there are many rabbis who do not condemn homosexuality.
Oh, lol he does that every year; he hasn't succeeded yet. And he only represents the ultra-Orthodox. Don't overstate the "rightness" of Netanyahu, sadly that's what happens when labels like "right" or "left" get used in articles about other countries.
Just a note for Brian, 1948 – when other states invaded Israel – surely that's not just an uprising, but a full-fledged war.
Take Mr. Simon Murphy's comments in context. Simon Murphy seems to have a strong objection to all forms of spiritual faith, even those that are quite liberal, gay-affirming and pluralistic. He sees faith, and he seems to instantly see hate, and then he expresses total disdain. And he's perfectly within his rights to feel and say whatever he pleases. But it's nothing new.
Hi Dermot:
You're right, of course, except that Simon Murphy does have his head screwed on right. In fact, there's nothing wrong with him that a little bottle of liquid paper couldn't fix.
You just run this magic liquid over some of those homophobic phrases in the ho-o-o-oly book, and presto, no more poisoning of childrens' minds.
Then we can all be happy together. tra-la-la.
Gay-affirming and pluralistic spiritual faith? Are you into Wicca?
Affirmation. It's the largest LGBT Mormon support group that actually holds that it's okay to be gay. Supports socially progressive causes. And naturally, it is all but ignored by the establishment as being irrelevant and apostate.
Yes, our reform jewish temple will do gay marriages, and so will some of the conservative temples. And a Lesbian rabbi has been appointed as the director of the southern california interfaith council
But, just like any other group, the Jews have their own conservative haters of gay people. The orthodox are stuck in the mud, and the ultra orthodox would do hitler proud on their attitude toward gays. A couple of their Knesset members actually called gays "worse then bird flu". A statement essentially calling for the extermination of gay people. By the very people whose not very distant relatives shared hitlers ovens with the gays of gernmany, another despised group.
My wife is leaving for a two week tour of Israel next week. A once in a lifetime visit. I refused to go, and the $4500 that would have gone to Israeli businesses has already gone to gay civil rights groups here in the states.
Netanyahu, and his gang, and the orthodox, who are leaches on the Israeli society – most don't work – they study there religious books – well, you know where they deserve to go.
Make the religious zealots earn a living and read their holey (sic) books on the weekend. Get these leaches off the back of Israeli society and let them move to Palestine and see what it is like when the shoe is on the other foot.
And yes, israel has gay marriage of a sort- gays married in other nations are recognized as legally married under the law. The problem is that the Zealots control Marriage.
I'm one of those guys who got kicked out of Hebrew School 57 years ago. And now I know, when I look at the orthodox, that I did the right thing.
#5: Dermot: You say: "Simon Murphy seems to have a strong objection to all forms of spiritual faith, even those that are quite liberal, gay-affirming and pluralistic. "
Yes I do have a strong objection to ANY belief system where what people are supposed to belief cannot be proven. And I have a strong objection to any belief system which tries to impose its point of view on all of society.
As far as I'm concerned the holy books of all religions are unproveable; badly written fairytales designed to give meaning to the lives of desert living, illiterate peasants who lived thousands of years ago. These books have absolutely no relevance to the modern day which is why the religions must be watched. These irrational, unproveable belief systems are ALL trying to influence laws to suit themselves.
Religions which claim to be 'pluralistic' and 'inclusive' are all very well. But they still start from the fake premise that there is some 'god' looking over us all. These religions are just as laughable.
Perhaps there is some sort of afterlife but seeing as religions and their leaders have no more idea than anyone else whether it exists, then ALL religions should be ignored.
Interestingly straight people in Israel cannot enter a civil marriage (never mind gay people) thanks to the vile stranglehold religion has in that country.
here we go yet again with the so called religious people hating the gays again. The God of the old testament was made up and vengefull! IF Jesus was God, he was kinder and gentler and never actually condemened gay people!
Having read the ministers comments I think that the response should be that the Orthodox Jewish, Muslim and Christian communities regularly, publicly and overtly decide to cause grave offence to the homosexual community both in word and deed. Given their intolerance we are not minded to cancel any event to satisfy their whims.
So some in Israel want to create a gay ghetto for the Pride march? Did we learn anything from Warsaw or Auchwitz?
Dermot (5):
You hear what Simon Murphy's saying in his post 10? Well, think about it. Why? Because that's what minds are for!
'…no relevance to the modern day…', and that goes for the book of mormons and buffalo chips too. Affirm yourselves but don't deceive yourselves. Ever hear of Thomas Paine?
Not suprising. Alot of Israelis are becoming more rabidly right wing and if things such as UN schools, hospitals, nurseries, mothers, babies, journalists are in the crosshairs don't be surprised when they turn on gays too.
And as I said before, the Pride did take place, and it was wonderful: my friends already sent me pics via email.
That is not true. While Israelis have elected whom they have elected (and there could have been a different combination of parties in the govt), even people on the right are fine with lgbt rights. It is only the religious groups that have issues with that.
And, btw, please tell me what happens to the gays and lesbians in Gaza and the West Bank.
They get murdered along with everyone else, Incognito.
And if you bother trying to justify infanticide or mass civilian death because "they are supporting terrorists" i'm not going to respond.
Simon Murphy did exactly as I predicted. Like I said. Nothing new.

One hundred and eighty people gathered in North Carolina for four days in October to go three- by-three to meet with state leaders in every county in the state. This Adventure was modeled after Luke 10 where Jesus sent out the sometimes scaredy-cat 72 disciples two-by-two to every town to pray and lift up Jesus' name. Wow ... what an opportunity and privilege.
I flew in from New Orleans and didn't know anyone. I left North Carolina understanding the power in multiple bands of three brothers stepping out in faith. I expected we would be handed a script to use with our conversations ... we were reminded the Holy Spirit would give us the words. I expected we would have pre-arranged appointments set up for us ... we were led only by God in every town and to every person. I thought we would sleep in hotels ... God provided the home of a man and woman of peace (and we didn't have to shake off the dust from our feet). I expected to see North Carolina ... but Jesus led us to see the plentiful harvest and not look through, past or by human beings ... to truly see them. Jesus blew up all of my expectations and I was left with nothing ... but Jesus. Guess what? He was enough.
The power of three going out in Jesus' name yielded open doors in every town ... mayors, county managers, half-way houses, Indian reservations, jails, police chiefs, parks, college presidents, churches, etc. Leaders and people were asked, "What is your biggest problem?" The reoccurring themes were - Racial division, lack of housing, the churches are divided, Meth, lack of peace, and people complaining. Everyone sensed the trouble in our nation and local communities was bigger and deeper than what Republicans, Democrats or Organized Religion could solve. I met the head of the North Carolina Supreme Court. In response to the problems in the state, he said, "We are just putting our fingers in the dykes, and we are running out of fingers to plug the holes."
Our message of hope to every leader and person was that there is a solution for our human predicament. The solution is in the only Leader who can transform a human heart and bring about real reconciliation. His name is Jesus. We didn't say the answer was in Christianity but in Christ. The answer is not throwing stones, demonizing, endless complaining, but lifting up the name of Jesus and learning to love God and love people in a Jesus fashion. This has the power to bring about a great awakening of one or even a nation. One young 6'5", rough around the edges, country boy said it this way, "Everybody just read the book with red letters and everything will be OK."
We didn't get booted out of any public official's office. People were intrigued, curious and drawn to Jesus. Leaders everywhere were exhorted to start little groups in their offices, or a coffee shop, and get to know the real Jesus. A fire got lit in North Carolina. May it spread? Now I will go out two-by-two in Louisiana. How about you? Check out Luke 10 yourself.
Divine Appointment
You never know when God will bring a divine appointment. This happened the other day:
Stranger: You look familiar. Where are you from?
Me: New Orleans
Stranger: I'm from New Orleans, too.
(It turns out we didn't know each other. He asked what I was doing and I summed it up in a sentence.)
Stranger: I don't want to talk to anyone about Christianity!
Me: It sounds like you have had a very bad experience with Christianity.
Stranger: When I was 12 years old my parents divorced and all three of us got excommunicated from the church!
Me: Sometimes I don't like talking about Christianity either. Would it be alright if I talked to you about Jesus?
Stranger: Oh, that will be okay.
Me: One thing I know for sure ... Jesus would never have excommunicated a 12-year-old boy from His church. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I know Jesus cares about you and wants to have a relationship with you.
(Off we went into a wonderful conversation about Jesus. Jesus wasn't a Christian; he was a Jew. We don't pray in Christianity's name but in Jesus' name. The gospel is the good news of Jesus, 1 Cor. 15:1-4)
Prayer for Colorado
A couple of weeks ago eight leaders who have faced devastation from the recent floods in Colorado, flew in to Louisiana. The leaders from Estes Park recounted the damage, and leaders from the Longmont area spoke of a town being washed away and losing their entire church building. They asked me to come preach and meet with community pastor/leaders. My aim was to encourage these leaders by sharing our Katrina story and put a copy of my book in their hands. Pray. May God work His exploits and faithfulness like He did in our times of anguish. I am still convinced that God works great works in the middle of disasters.

I had an awesome day today. GMan and I went out to lunch in this really pretty restaurant that is in the middle of the big central park of SD, Balboa Park. We took the Wolf Cub with us and sat out on the terrace under an umbrella. We had a lovely lunch. I had a calamari salad and a bowl of paella. I also had a couple of pomegranate margaritas. Oh those are good. Instead of the sticky sweet typical margarita mix they use pomegranate juice and it really goes well with the tequila.
We then went for a slightly drunken rambling walk in the park until sober enough to drive back to my place and tumble into bed for the rest of the day.
*sigh* I like being retired.
I had a really good day today. One final round of paperwork needed signing at the escrow company, took the dog for a walk, went grocery shopping at Sprouts then came home and cooked the most delectable meal. I had a surf and more surf combo of a wild salmon fillet with two little lobster tails all cooked in a metric crapton (I measured) of butter. A little garlic salt and voila.
I really don't get the threads griping about how hard it is to cook. Toss fat and food in pan and heat. Done.
Yep. Put critter in a pan in the oven or in the slowcooker. (salt and pepper to taste) It's not that hard. I guess some people were probably raised by people who couldn't cook (or didn't have time/energy to cook) and they just feel apprehensive about it. But really it is faster to throw some meat in a saute pan and make a salad than it is to get pizza delivered.

Narsaak-Vatra 7" (1997,Per Koro Records)
Vatra was released by Per Koro in 1997 and consists of three songs of dark, metallic emotional and crusty hardcore with rough vocals reminding the ferocious heavy crust of His Hero is Gone, though it's mistake to say "they sound like HHIG" since Narsaak existed before HHIG, The description in Per Koro's site about Prasina 7" which was released after a long hiatus says "NARSAAK played (and still playing) melody driven scandinavien hardcore long before WOLFPACK and long before TRAGEDY turned a million americanised trendhoppers onto that stuff." Criminally underrated band.. Dzini the singer sings in German language and lyrics are printed inside the gatefold cover. Unfortunately the record lasts for only 6:40" since two of the tracks are fast and end soon while the third is slower and a little longer.
This is an old rip of mine (and the title is mispelled "Valtra"), i did it sometime in 2009 in the same "ripping session" with Degarne's The Last Dance but never posted it since it was still available from Per Koro but not anymore. And since is an old rip here you got the all the scans. This is probably the last post for this year so have a happy new year and blah blah blah, see you the next year with more crust, cheers!

It goes a long way for us that Jeezy has been in our shoes dating back to the release of that first album. "I remember when I first started and I was on tour with Jay. We came out on stage with Gourmets on. We didn't know who would change, but I definitely kept mine on," stated Jeezy.

The Enemy of Democracy Rears It's Ugly Face In Madison
What we witnessed this afternoon in Madison was not only a rear-ended assault on the civil liberties of nearly 150,000 civil servants in our state, but also an all-out declaration of war against the middle class. Their legislation tonight makes all state employees second-class citizens and we should be ashamed, outraged and ready to face-off with our enemy.
"The labor movement is people. Our unions have brought millions of men and women together, made them members one of another, and given them common tools for common goals. Their goals are goals for all America - and their enemies are the enemies for progress. The two cannot be separated." ~ John F. Kennedy
The Republican Party has just shown that they are the enemies for progress, the enemies for all of working America, the enemies of civility and the enemies of democracy.
It is time to recall the Republican Senators who voted for this bill and will vote for the budget repair bill to strip $800 million from public education and $500 milion from Medicaid, BadgerCare and SeniorCare.
Join the fight to bring back democracy.
"All that harms labor is treason to America." ~ Abraham Lincoln, (Republican)

Fri., 10am: Trumbull gets $3.2M for housing demolitions
COLUMBUS — The Ohio Housing Finance Agency is expected this morning to award Trumbull County $3.2 million for housing demolition.
The Trumbull portion is part of the approximately $60 million being disbursed statewide from the federal government's Hardest Hit Fund. The Hardest Hit Fund was created in 2007 to help Washington, D.C., and the 18 states hardest hit by the housing crisis.
The money goes to the Trumbull County Land Bank, which is operated by Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership.
Complete coverage will appear in Saturday's Tribune Chronicle print edition.

My prayer was answered in such a specific way, and now all I want to do is give praises!
My husband and I have always been *pretty good* about managing our money. Granted, there are decisions I can look back on now and wish we'd made differently, but we've always had a savings account in place, and aside from the rare occasion we drew from it to help cover an unexpected expense, it was always growing little by little.
By the time I got pregnant, we were married, living in a small but nice apartment, had found our church and were tithing 10% of our income, he was working his current job bringing in about $3500-$4000 each month, and I had graduated college and started my career bringing home $2000-$2500 each month. Both of our cars were paid off, as well as my student loans. We were in a very good financial position in terms of being ready for a baby.
We had been debating buying a house, and once I was pregnant, we knew our apartment would be too small for our family. We found and fell in love with our house, and were moved in by the time I was 7 months along.
Then things took a turn.
In the last year and a half, we've had to buy another vehicle (mine died), buy a new rim and four new tires for his SUV, and have had other unplanned expenses; I was unable to breastfeed as planned because of previously-undetected medical issues, had to do a major repair on our home, etc. Before buying our home, I left my job to be a SAHM until our son starts school, and we bought our home knowing that we would need to live frugally in order to make it. Looking back, we didn't leave enough room for error.
Our mortgage is $1500/mo, which includes paying about $60 extra each month toward principal. Our son, as it turns out, was very sensitive in what type of formula he could take, which meant added expense, and my husband received a "promotion" that actually has become a pay cut because he is unable to work overtime in this position (but it does afford more opportunity for advancement). I recently started a part-time job to help make up the difference, but it hasn't been enough. This week, our savings officially reached $58.
Fast forward to present. We both got paid yesterday (him $1400, me $200), and our mortgage will be due the first, which meant I would need to pay the mortgage late and use these funds to pay all of our bills (utilities, homeowner's insurance, car insurance, phone bill,credit card that we had to use recently) and provide everything else we need for the next month. I babysat yesterday for a bit and used that $20 in cash to run to the store today and grab some small items. On the way home, my low fuel light came on, and I finally gave in and started to cry. I pulled to the side of the road and just let it out.
I realized that although we'd been doing charity work and helping others, I hadn't been truly humble in that I had an attitude that WE were doing well, WE were keeping ourselves in a good situation, etc. Then I prayed. I said "God, I realize why you've brought us to this place of uncertainty and what we are to gain from it. I am so incredibly grateful for this lesson, and that we've been able to learn this lesson while still having a comfortable home. I know YOU will provide for us, and have been all along. The things we have been 'going without' are so trivial in comparison to what you've given us, and I pray you will continue to keep us able to afford the home we are in."
I drove the rest of the way home, grabbed the mail out of the box, and started weeding through it (dreading finding any bills). There was an item from the bank we have our mortgage through, and my heart absolutely sank, thinking that it was some kind of bad news...
It was a money order for $2,045.23 as a refund for overpayment into our escrow (our property taxes were overestimated, and this much is left over)! I just broke down and said a prayer of thanks. I wanted to share this story with anyone who is struggling in hopes of showing people that prayer is a powerful thing.
Keep your chin up, be humble, and give it to God. He'll take care of you!
1 Peter 5.6-7:
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because he cares for you.
Deuteronomy 31.6:
Be strong and bold, have no fear or dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.
Please know that you are not going to shake my faith. I am open to respectful discussion, but bashing will just go unanswered.
AMEN! glory be to God above! what most Christians dont realize, or forget is that prayer and supplication is so so powerful! thank you Jesus for giving this woman what she needs!
you dont understand because you are not a believer, you put your faith in the world. the world is not good. This woman became humble and the Lord answered her prayers. Yes there was an error in math, however whos to say that the Lord saw what was going to happen and was just waiting for her to turn to Him? He is all powerful and could have set this in motion from the get go...its a God thing.
Quoting Anonymous:
So god put the check there? I'm lost
Quoting gingerwife:
God is great!
I got really sick about 6 years back. The doctors had no clue what the issue was, all my tests were fine, but I was miserable. My family decided 2 weeks into it that waiting it out was taking too much of a toll on me. They preformed a ritual of healing the next night and in a few days I started getting back to normal.
I hope you don't mind me sharing that.

WATCH: Pat LaFrieda Fondles A Tiny Leprechaun Over St. Paddy's Day Hangover Breakfast
In spite of his robust Eye-talian heritage, Pat LaFrieda is actually Patrick III, rather than Patrizio, thanks to his grandfather's serendipitous birth on St. Patrick's Day. Thus, Pat, king of beefs, was the perfect guest to accompany host Carrie Keagan on a very special St. Paddy's Day edition of VH1's Big Morning Buzz.
He stopped by with car bombs in tow to demo a corned beef hash on Irish sodabread sandwich for the inevitable St. Patrick's Day Hangover Breakfast, of which the Irish and non-Irish alike will be partaking this weekend.
There was also a tiny leprechaun on hand, whom Pat rubbed (unsolicited, mind you) for luck while he was enjoying his sandwich. Ahem.
Check out the clip below, and try to resist rushing into your kitchen and making corned beef has right this very minute because meat.

Buddy Bench

How many playgrounds are there in this country? How many kids feel alone on those playgrounds? How many parents worry about this kids being one of those lonely kids on the playground? This little dude came up with a solution. And we think it's rather brilliant. The beauty of this story is it's simple. If every school had a Buddy Bench, just think about the smiles and friendships that could bloom as a result. Way to go Christian. We'll be your buddy any day of the week. Kids, can YOU convince your principal to add a Buddy Bench on YOUR playground?

A new level of arrogance, ignorance and shameless greed has been put on display in Newark.
Newark City Council President Mildred Crump said in today's Star-Ledger that by not being provided with a free luxury box at the new Prudential Center in Newark, the $210 million taxpayer-funded ice rink in hockey-obsessed Newark, the New Jersey Devils are "dissing us at a level that's disrespectful."
Excuse me, but what exactly does "dissing at a level that's disrespectful" mean? Should city officials who think it is more important to spend $210 million on an ice rink and concert arena instead of putting cops on the street, building affordable housing or repairing, replacing or rebuilding crumbling schools think that they should only be "dissed' at a respectful level?
This is the same woman who, after her chief of staff was arrested for accepting cash bribes to steer school board insurance contracts, said that she holds herself to a "higher standard*."
By a higher standard, apparently she means the free luxury box standard.
The Prudential center has its supporters. It is a beautiful glass, steel, brick and concrete structure that certainly sparkles in a city that needs a little sparkle.
I'm not one of those supporters. I love hockey and the New Jersey Devils, and I have an office just a few blocks from the Pru-Center. But, I just think there are better ways that the city could have spent the several-hundred million dollar windfall it received from the Port Authority than on an arena.
The money that Newark spent on the arena came as a result of a remarkable settlement of several years of unpaid rent from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for the land that Newark Airport occupies. The 2004 agreement with the Port Authority provided an immediate $265 million payment to the city and decades of additional payments to settle the long standing rent dispute.
It was found money, an unrestricted windfall. It was like being the sole winner of a super-charged mega lottery and getting both the cash payment and the annuity. Rather than save the money, lower property taxes or invest in cops or kids, Newark built an arena.
That's yesterday's news. The arena is nearly completed and will open in a few weeks with a Bon Jovi concert where tickets will cost as much as $300 a seat.
Today's news is that Mildred Crump feels "dissed" and several of her fellow council mates will protest by boycotting Bon Jovi's opening concert because they didn't get a luxury box for free.
In a show of ultra-disrespect, I'll bet they won't be missed.
The city council wasn't "dissed" by the Devils. If there is any level of disrespect being shown by anyone, it is the contempt and disrespect for the people of Newark being displayed by Ms. Crump and some of her colleagues on the city council.

|[TowerTalk] Radial connections and insulation
|firstname.lastname@example.com (James W. Fisher, Jr.)
|Sun, 14 Sep 1997 13:39:24 -0400
I'm putting up a number of verticals in free-standing and 4-square formats. My future radial fields will include some elevated systems where practical and not too obtrusive plus some on-the-surface systems. For some, I may use the ON4UN-described combined approach of two elevated radials plus an extensive ground radial system (the latter connected to the shack end of a coax choke feeding the antenna). Question 1: what commercial or homebrew approaches are appropriate for connecting a growing number (as I get time) of radials at the center of the field? I seem to recall an aluminum wheel with 32 bolts at the perimeter but don't know if or where such a thing is available now. Question 2: what's the latest thought on whether on-the-surface systems should be bare or insulated? If respondents wish to reply directly to me I'll summarize for the reflector. Website or article references also welcome.

The nice feel to the air, and the leaves beginning to change are signs that Halloween is near. As costumes and Halloween treats fly off of store shelves, I must warn you. There is something really scary brewing in our community: Lynn Oaks' second annual Haunted Hayride.
The plush acreage on the school grounds in Braithwaite makes for the perfect setting for the family event that also will feature a pumpkin patch.
Hayrides will be available Friday and Saturday and Oct. 28 and 29 from 7 to 10:30 p.m. at the school, 1 Lynn Oaks Drive.
The cost is $10 per person; cash only.
There also will be a nonscary hayride for younger children for $5 per person, which will include a pumpkin, crafts and activities.
Brave souls who opt for the haunted hayride will experience a 20-minute spooky ride on a partially enclosed flatbed trailer throughout 11 acres of land surrounding the school campus.
Parents are encouraged to ride with any child under the age of 16 years.
Lynn Oaks Principal Kim Duplantier said this is a great way for families to come and do something "fun and exciting together."
Without revealing too much, Duplantier said hayriders will be in for shock this year. The creative juices were flowing as the hayride committee came up with an ingenuous idea. It all came about when a discovery in the school's attic led to a well-kept secret.
"We needed to find the original plans for the school for a FEMA project, and discovered that Lynn Dean's original plans were to build a hospital on the school's site," Duplantier said.
Duplantier said they, "ran with the idea" and developed a fictitious 10-scene scenario. She also said some parents were so excited that they "contacted us to get in on the action."
Last year, former Lynn Oaks student and NOCCA graduate Jessica Farizo lent her filmmaking expertise to create a film introduction prior to the hayride. This year, Gillham Farizo, the film company Farzio created with fellow filmmaker Trent Gillham, will be working with the school's eighth-graders to create a film introduction before hayriders take to the brush.
For those who made it to last year's hayride, Duplantier promises that this year will be different, and even better.
"We're even doing a completely different route," she said. "You really won't be disappointed if you made it out last year because this year will be bigger and better."
For more information, call the school at 504.682.3171.

Data collected to serve you with relevant advertising
OneTime and its affiliated websites are committed to providing you with relevant content and information across our sites. To do this, we may collect information about your travel-related searches, such as whether you are looking for airline flights or hotels, and use this information to serve you with ads on our sites or elsewhere online that match your apparent interests. So, for example, if you search for a flight to Florida on OneTime.com, you may see an ad for a Florida travel package on OneTime.com or on another website you visit.

HUNTSVILLE,AL -- In Rio de Janeiro, more than a million people were in the crowd when Chuck Leavell - keyboardist for the Rolling Stones - took the stage.
That, he acknowledged, was memorable.
And in 2006, the Alabama-born Leavell entertained the Motor City, and the rest of the world, during the halftime show at Super Bowl XL.
"That," he said, "was very, very special."
But Leavell can't forget Prague and the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels Tour in 1990. A year earlier, the Berlin Wall had been torn down. The Stones' posters promoting the show read: "Tanks roll out, Stones roll in." On that night 126,000 people were on hand to watch the Stones, Leavell said.
"There was just this amazing sense of freedom," he said.
On Friday, Leavell will perform at Merrimack Hall. "An Evening with Chuck Leavell," a benefit concert for Merrimack's Dance Your Dreams program that gives special-needs children a chance to take dance lessons, starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $40.
Born in Birmingham and raised in Tuscaloosa, Leavell was first exposed
to rock 'n' roll piano music courtesy of a legend. A 13-year-old
Leavell saw Ray Charles play at Memorial Coliseum (today called Coleman
Coliseum) in Tuscaloosa.
Merrimack Hall, Flying Monkey Arts Center to show independent films
Two years later, Leavell left for Muscle Shoals, eventually moving to Macon, Ga., and later joining the Allman Brothers Band in 1972, shortly after Duane Allman died and prior to the death of Berry Oakley. Leavell first appeared on the Allman Brothers Band's "Brothers and Sister" album, which featured the hit "Ramblin' Man."
Leavell joined the Stones in 1982 and has been on each of their tours since. Guitarist Keith Richards once said, "Without the continuity that Chuck brings to us, the Stones would not be the Stones."
During his 30-year-career, Leavell has lent his talents to Eric
Clapton, George Harrison, the Indigo Girls, Blues Traveler, Train,
Montgomery Gentry, Lee Ann Womack, the Black Crowes and more
Today, Leavell, 57, lives outside Macon on a 2,200-acre tree farm called Charlane Plantation. He and his wife, Rose Lane, raise trees and bring awareness to tree conservation and forestry. Leavell also founded the Mother Nature Network (www.mnn.com), which is dedicated to all things environmental.
"I've been blessed in both careers," Leavell said.

I have had only HP printers over decades. In April I spent thousands on a new HP laptop and 8600 printers. Little did I know that HP Management, hard and software Engineers seized control away from the customers to confiscate control for themselves about how we use ink so they could DEMAND we WASTE AND BUY MORE ink than necessary from HP. Disgraceful and shameful! I cannot even print black & white copies within going to buy more color ink. PLEASE POST the names of printer BRANDS (by the way, that HP made previously) that DO NOT have software imbedded to WASTE INK but allows the printer, like previously, to continue printing until it completely runs out of ink to print and you see this on the paper coming out of the printer. (by the way, I've never had ANY DAMAGE to my print heads) I will gladly trash all my 8600's and buy the new printers and buy ink from the new company. It's the principle. HP you DID NOT become more CLEVER than your customers.

There are different printhead technologies with different requirements. Printers with integrated printheads (ink supplies and printheads on the cartridge) typically allow printing until the ink supplies are deleted or even removed. Printers (like the Officejet Pro 8600 series) that have separate ink supplies and printheads generally require ink in all colors and black to prevent clogging of the printheads. See here for information on how ink is used, the Officejet 8600 is an IIC printer in the terminology of that document.
Running a printhead without ink available will generally cause clogging as the ink dries out in the "plumbing", or worse, an electrically damaged printhead. Replacement of the printhead (for models with replaceable printheads) or service (for models with permanent prints) would then be required. For printers with the printheads built into the cartridges this is not so much an issue since a replacement cartridge will have a replacement printhead, but for models with separate printheads it can be an expensive proposition.
The above is generally true regardless of the manufacturer.
