Syracuse, NY -- Here's what some local people said they felt when the earth moved at 1:41 p.m. today.
Downtown Syracuse
"My whole chair was moving," said Evonne Everson, an underwriting assistant at the Medical Liability Mutual Insurance Co. in the Atrium building in downtown Syracuse. "My soda was moving like this," she said shimmying her hand.
The quake moved chairs and rattled bookcases in the Atrium, other workers said.
National Grid workers taking a break in Clinton Square said they felt the floor shift in their offices in the company's building a couple of blocks away on Erie Boulevard.
Rob Halbohm, who works for the USDA National Resources Conservation Service, had been in the men's room at the Galleries, when he felt the quake.
"It felt like the floor in the building was gently shifting," he said. "I thought someone was walking by rolling heavy machinery."
Halbohm said he didn't think anything about his experience until he heard people around Clinton Square talking and he put two and two together to come up with earthquake.
Mary Beth Paul was handling reception duties in the County Attorney's Office on the tenth floor of the Civic Center when the building shook about 1:45 p.m.
"I thought someone was shaking the back of my chair," she said. But when she turned to look, there was no one behind her.
People throughout the office started coming out to ask what was going on, she said. Paul said it seemed that people who were on their feet did not notice the shaking, but it was very noticeable to people sitting down when it occurred.
Paul said the shaking seemed to last about a minute. She immediately called downstairs to the front desk to see if something had happened in the building. The people at the desk on the ground floor didn't feel the tremor, she said.
People briefly evacuated three floors of the Gridley Building between Clinton and Hanover squares in downtown Syracuse, said Joseph Callahan, a lawyer with offices there. People could hear plaster falling but there was no discernible damage there, he said.
About 50 employees at Onondaga Case Management were evacuated from their third-floor office building on Herald Place in downtown Syracuse after several people felt shaking.
"The people here who felt it thought it was pretty pronounced," said Deborah Donahue, executive director of Onondaga Case Management Services, a human service agency that provides services for people with mental health and substance abuse and other life challenges. "I think people clearly connected it with a potential earthquake."
Donahue, who sits on the east side of the office, said she did not feel a thing. But many people on the west side of the Krell building at 220 Herald Place felt enough shaking that supervisors thought, "just to be safe, we'll evacuate," Donahue said. "Better safe than sorry."
Onondaga Case Management employees stood on the corner of Herald Place and Clinton Street for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, about a dozen people were still inside the American Red Cross of Central New York office on the first floor of the building. Donahue said Onondaga Case Management assumed the Red Cross would make their own determination on whether to evacuate.
Ron Fralick, a customer service representative at the Red Cross, said he was sitting at his desk next to the window facing Herald Place. He had just hung up the phone when he felt the shaking. "It felt like somebody tugging underneath my chair from below," he said. "It didn't last too long. I thought it was in my imagination. Then one of my colleagues sent a report saying there was an earthquake."
It wasn't until a mail carrier came inside the Red Cross office about 10 minutes later and alerted the Red Cross volunteers and employees that "there were a bunch of people outside who had evacuated from the building," Fralick said.
"They probably thought that being the Red Cross, handling disasters, we could dig ourselves out of the pile," Fralick said.
Donahue said it's a good lesson to be learned.
North Syracuse
North Syracuse Mayor Diane Browning was working on her computer in Village Hall when she saw the screen shake.
"My screen was moving just very gently," Browning said. "Then I could feel the floor under my feet, just very gently. At first I thought maybe somebody was downstairs with a drill or a piece of machinery. I hollered out and said, 'Are we having an earthquake?' "
No one else at Village Hall seemed to notice.
"They all ignored me," Browning said. "I thought I was losing my mind."
Town of Clay
Milton Johnson, an operator at Onondaga County's Oak Orchard Road Wastewater Treatment Facility in Clay, said he was working at his computer when the console started shaking.
"I looked over and the other console was shaking," he said. "We looked at each other thinking somebody did something."
Johnson then called his wife, Agi, at home in Marietta. "She didn't feel anything," he said.
Syracuse's Westside
None of the animals at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park seem to have anticipated or reacted to the quake, zoo spokeswoman Lorrell Walter said.
Neither did the zoo's humans, herself included, she said.
"I'm a California girl," added Walter, a native of the Orange County area. "I've got earthquake in my blood."
Central Square
Joe Andrews, an Earth science teacher at Paul V. Moore High School in Central Square, was grading his ninth-grade students' Earth science Regents exams this afternoon when he noticed the whiteboards and walls start to shake a little bit.
"It was very mild," he said. "I thought it was the custodians on the roof shaking the air conditioning."
The shaking continued and after about 10 seconds, Andrews said he and some other science teachers knew it was an earthquake.
Others in the high school also felt the tremors but weren't so sure what had just happened. About a dozen teachers and staff ran to the science department.
"They were asking, 'What happened?' 'What was that?' " Andrews said.
Andrews showed his colleagues the United States Geological Survey web site, where he reported the quake.
"Then they started calling their families and they felt it, too," he said.
Town of Marcellus
Patty Weisse, executive director of the Baltimore Woods Nature Center in Marcellus, said she was talking with a colleague with her hands resting atop a cabinet housing the center's butterfly collection. Suddenly, she said, it seemed as though the long preserved Lepidoptera had come back to life.
"I remember being distracted for a minute. I was thinking, 'What's going on in there?' " she said.
None of the registering equipment at either Nine Mile Point I or II or the James FitzPatrick nuclear power plants in Scriba recorded any activity from the earthquake, plant officials said.
But employees at the plants felt the tremors.
Jill Lyon of Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, which owns the two Nine Mile Point plants, and Tammy Holden of Entergy, which owns FitzPatrick, said employees immediately began walking every inch of the plants to check equipment, control panels, structures and other areas to be sure everything is working well and nothing was damaged.

Motorola Droid 4 Coming To Verizon With Dual-Core and LTE
First there was the Droid, followed by Droid 2 and Droid 3--and now, behold the Droid 4. The latest iteration of Motorola's keyboard-equipped phone, announced today at CES, appears to be a considerable improvement over its predecessors.
Running on Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread), with a promise to be updated to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the Droid 4 sports a 4-inch qHD scratch-resistant display and is powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor with 1GB of RAM. Like the Droid 3, the Droid 4 is compatible with Verizon's blazing-fast LTE network and features a full QWERTY keyboard for easier typing.
Like the Droid RAZR, the Droid 4 can use Smart Actions to automate day-to-day tasks and activities. The Droid 4 also takes a page out of the Bionic's book and can be connected to an accompanying lapdock for access to Motorola's Webtop interface. The Webtop interface grants access to various windowed apps like Firefox for web browsing and QuickOffice for document creation.
The handset is due to release in the next few weeks, though we still have no word on pricing.
For more blogs, stories, photos, and video from the nation's largest consumer electronics show, check out PCWorld's complete coverage of CES 2012.
The Droid 4 is the phone to buy if you are looking for a physical keyboard, though the blurry display leaves some room for improvement. Read the full review
- Excellent keyboard
- LTE Connectivity
- Speedy performance
- Non-removable battery
- Display sharpness is lacking

A long-running legal dispute involving some prime Uptown real estate has been heating up and might soon be decided in the courts. At issue is whether a gate has effectively rendered Newcomb Boulevard a private street. The residential street, which runs from St. Charles Avenue to Freret Street, sits a block over from Audubon Place, a private, gated street lined with some of the city's priciest homes.
The controversy began in 2005 when the Newcomb Boulevard Association asked the city for permission to install a gate at Freret, largely to eliminate speeding drivers from using the street as a cut-through during backups on St. Charles Avenue. On Jan. 31, 2006 -- his last day on the job -- Public Works Director John Shires signed a letter authorizing residents to install a gate.
About a year later, a group of Carrollton and university-area residents, led by attorney Keith Hardie and including the Maple Area Residents Association and the Carrollton-Riverbend Neighborhood Association, filed suit against the city for authorizing the gate's installation. They said the gate constitutes a street closure, an action that only the City Council has the authority to grant.
The Newcomb Boulevard Association intervened in the suit, defending the city's decision and arguing that the street is not closed because vehicles can still access it from St. Charles.
"All the gates do is prevent cars from entering or leaving through Freret," said Charles Gay, a Newcomb Boulevard resident. "We're not using this like a private street where you have to have permission to be here if you aren't a resident. It's still used by the public. Plenty of college kids park on it at night to walk to bars and during the day for class. And people use the pedestrian gates at Freret to walk through to Audubon Park."
But the plaintiffs don't buy that argument.
"The claim that a city employee has the legal power to close a public street without public notice or approval by the Planning Commission and City Council raises serious questions," Hardie said.
Hardie said it is especially troubling because Shires took a different position in 2003 when residents of Trianon Plaza in Broadmoor asked the city to close their street at one end because of heavy traffic from nearby Dominican High School.
The city agreed to install a temporary fence at the Walmsley Avenue end to measure the effect of such a closure on the neighborhood. When a study concluded it was negligible, Shires recommended the closure be made permanent if residents of Trianon Plaza purchased the road bed and assumed responsibility for its maintenance.
Hearings ensued, and the group eventually bought the street for $97,000. No such requirement was imposed on Newcomb Boulevard residents.
Ryan Berni, a spokesman for Mayor Mitch Landrieu, said city officials can't comment on the Newcomb Boulevard dispute because of the pending litigation. But he said "there are many projects, policies and contracts that we inherited from prior administrations."
The Landrieu administration, Berni added, commits that "any proposed, permanent street closures will be done in consultation with the City Planning Commission and City Council."
Civil District Court Judge Michael Bagneris recently asked both sides in the Newcomb Boulevard dispute to prepare motions for summary judgment, which he will review before deciding whether he can make an immediate ruling or whether the matter needs to go to trial.
Hardie said he expects to submit his group's motion by the end of December. Gay said the Newcomb Boulevard Association, represented by Thomas McEachin, would like to see a swift conclusion to the matter.
"The plaintiff is making this out to be something that it isn't," Gay said. "Nothing was done below the radar. All we want to do is get this before the judge."

With two weeks left until Rutgers kicks off the 2014 season against Washington State, uncertainty is clouding the Scarlet Knights defense.
On Wednesday, head coach Kyle Flood made the decision to move sophomore running back Justin Goodwin to the defensive side of the football. One year after rushing for over 500 yards as a freshman, Rutgers decided that injuries and ineffectiveness in the secondary warranted an alteration to the look of the team.
In theory, the move makes sense. By moving an athletic, malleable player to the defensive side of the ball, Flood subtracted from a strength to fill a weakness. Moving forward, though, Rutgers has a major problem: Big Ten passing offenses.
The season opener in Washington State will provide a major challenge for a patchwork secondary, but the real test will come against a suddenly pass-happy slate of teams around the Big Ten.
Last year, five Big Ten schools passed for over 3,000 yards. With quarterbacks like Penn State's Christian Hackenberg, Ohio State's Braxton Miller and Michigan State's Connor Cook on the 2014 slate, Rutgers could be thrown on all year long.
How worried are you about Rutgers pass defense? Do you believe moving Goodwin from running back was the right move? Watch the video and sound off below in the comments section.

HUNTSVILLE -- A Discovery Middle School band director, on leave since being arrested last year, is set for a June trial date in connection with a case that saw his son plead guilty in March to a federal child pornography charge.
John Vardon Nash, 59, faces a misdemeanor charge of failing to report child abuse, stemming from an apparent relationship between his son, 25, a band volunteer, and a 16-year-old student.
Madison County District Court Judge Schuyler H. Richardson granted a continuance this week and the case is set for trial June 4.
Nash's son, John Bradley Nash, entered a guilty plea to a count of possession of child pornography in U.S. District Court in March.
The Madison Police Department reported last July the arrests came after they were notified by the Discovery Middle School administration about a possible inappropriate relationship between a 15-year-old student and Bradley Nash.
In a press release, the Madison Police Department said the relationship had previously been reported to John Nash, but he didn't report his son to authorities, "as mandated by state law."
A conviction on the failure to report charge carries a punishment of up to six months in jail and a $500 fine.
Prosecutors spelled out their case against Bradley Nash in his plea agreement:
Madison police investigators executed a search warrant in late June 2012 and seized computers and cell phones looking for evidence of child abuse or child pornography, the plea agreement said.
On his computer they found images "that were sexually suggestive but not illegal" of an unidentified female.
The investigators were able to identify her, but did not contact her. A cell phone seized from Nash's residence showed images of the same female in "various stages of undress and involved in sexually explicit conduct," according to the plea agreement.
She was then interviewed by law enforcement and told them she was 16 and sexually involved with Brad Nash, who she knew to be 22. She admitted taking the "child pornography images with her cellular telephone and sending them to Nash," according to the plea agreement.
Nash is set to be sentenced Aug. 29 on one count of possession of child pornography. The sentencing range is 1 to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000. As part of the plea agreement, he will not be prosecuted in an Alabama on any related charges, the Madison County District Attorney's office said this morning.

To celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day one ecommerce startup is offering a special deal. Shutterstock / El Nariz
The UpTake: Bitcoin may be young, but it already has a history inspiring new startups to pay tribute to their heritage.
E xactly four years ago today the bitcoin economy was jumpstarted into mainstream consciousness when computer programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoins, valued at about $40 at that time, for two Papa John's pizzas. At today's bitcoin price, those pizzas would be worth $5.2 million. During the currency's peak valuation last year, they would have been worth more than twice that at as much as $12 million.
To celebrate the day that has come to be known as Bitcoin Pizza Day, Huntington, New York-based eGifter, that has raised $3 million in venture capital, according to Crunchbase, is offering a special promotional refund of 4 points using their points system, for every pizza gift card purchased at Domino's, Papa John's, Papa Ginos and Uno Chicago Grill. The company's co-founder and CEO, Tyler Roye, spoke to CryptoCoin News about the significance of the day.
Here are three highlights from his interview:
On why the pizza sale was important—"I think this purchase was a turning point for many due to its simplicity. The digital currency world can often be complex, which is why we're excited about Bitcoin Pizza Day– it's one of the best examples of showing both businesses and consumers a cryptocoin in action, in a way that's easily understandable and applicable to their lives."
On the reason eGifter also accepts Dogecoin and Litecoin—"While Bitcoin acceptance has started to take off, consumers interested in spending alternative coins, in a mainstream space are still faced with limited options, so we're glad to be able to bring them access to hundreds of brands through our marketplace."
On how many brands eGifter works with —"Gifter has made a point to be an early adopter in digital currency acceptance, connecting consumers using Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin to more than 200 major retailers and brands."

Quick & Easy Pecan Pie Bars {S}
I love these bars! They taste just like a pecan pie. :-) Believe me, before THM, pecan pie was one of my favorite desserts. I know my dads favorite is pecan pie. Poor dad... I need to work on that.
This recipe is easy! :-) The only "complicated" (not really, if you do THM) ingredients are coconut flour and almond meal (I use homemade, just grind almonds in a coffee grinder). Coconut flour can be expensive if you buy it at a regular whole foods store, so I buy mine at a local mennonite-owned general store (it's a lot cheaper!).
One of the most convenient things about these is they are fairly quick to mix together and throw in the oven. There's no hour process before you even get them in the oven. You simply beat eggs with sweetener, add dry ingredients (mix), add pecans and vanilla (mix). Then mash them into the pan and bake at 300 degrees F for 30 minutes. That's it. :-)
My top two tips for these bars are... Measure your flours correctly (make sure your measuring cup is level) and cook them no longer than 30 minutes (which means, set your timer!). If you avoid these tips, then you will most likely have dry pecan pie bars. So that means you might want to follow them! :-)
Here's the recipe...
Pecan Pie Bars {S}
- 3 eggs (I only had 1 egg, so I had to use 2 flax eggs too)
- 10 tsp. Truvia OR 8 tsp. THM Sweet Blend
- 1/4 tsp. NuStevia OR THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder
- 2 tsp. Molasses (usually not on plan, but in this case it is, because this small amount is going across a whole recipe)
- 1 1/2 Cups + 2 T. almond meal
- 1/4 Cup coconut flour
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 2 Cups chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Beat eggs with vanilla and sweeteners (sweet blend/truvia, stevia extract, and molasses). Add flours, baking powder, and salt. Mix with your hands (if your a clean freak, use a large wooden or plastic spoon). Lastly, add chopped pecans and mix until fully combined. Press thick dough into a greased 13 x 11.5 x 2-in. baking dish (or one of similar size). Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Fully cool (if you can stand it!) before cutting and serving.
Picture Time!! ;-)

Our New Baby Brother!! :)
Our new baby brother is here!!!! :)
He was born on July 7th at 7:10 pm. He weighed 9 lbs 1 oz (smaller than our little sister Zuzu!) and he's 22 in long.
Barret Earl Clinton Sweat is his name. Barret, after William Barret Travis, a lawyer and soldier who died at the alamo (read about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Barret_Travis). Earl, after our dad (of course), and Clinton after our great grandpa on my moms side.
Look at his cute little fingers!! :-)
Our first time seeing him at the birthing center (my mom doesn't go to a hospital).
I am so happy that he is here! We thought my mom would never have him, it was such a long wait!
No more waiting now! :-)

Running and 5K Races (Father-Daughter Time!)
Last year, around May, my dad and I started running in the evenings to train for 5K (3.1 miles) races. We run about 3 laps each time we go to our community park's 1-mile path. Not only is it great exercise, but I get to spend one-on-one time with my dad. Thats rare with a family of (almost) ten.
Last year my dad ran 7 races and I ran 9 (they aren't as enjoyable by yourself). We ran until late Fall; after that it got to cold. ;(
Thankfully, Spring is here and we're back at it! We ran our 1st race for this year on May 10th. I won 1st in my age group and dad won 2nd in his (he came very close to 1st). A couple weeks ago, on a Saturday (May 24th), we ran our 2nd race. I think it has been my best! :) A friend of my Aunt Kathy's and I ran together the whole time. We even finished together! We both got 2nd overall female. It was great. :)
Early in the morning is my favorite time to run. Most of the time it's in the evening though, because that's when my dad gets back from work (he builds houses. I think thats why he's such a great runner).
Sometimes my Aunt Calley will run races with us, or Tim and Tracy; some friends that dad built a house for.
Besides regular old 5K's, we have also ran a mud run, color run, and glow run.
This is us at the "Pumpkin Run" in our small town last year. We both won 1st in our group.
My dad and I at a Color Me Rad run in Knoxville last year. There aren't any prizes in these runs. They let the people out in waves every 15 minutes!
Before the Mud Run we did with Aunt Calley, Tracy and Tim.
After the mud run!
The race we did Saturday. My dads number kept flying up!
At our house with our medals. We won 1st again! :)

Fooled Ya Cheese Sticks {S}
Words can't describe the crispy, tasty, cheesy, goodness of cheese sticks. Especially, when they've just come out of the oven. And the best part about these is, you actually get a serving of vegetables if you eat a few! :) Ok, you got me. Maybe the best part isn't that it has vegetables in it. The best part would probably be getting to eat the cheese sticks!
Some of my siblings like to eat these with hot sauce. It reminds them of a local pizzeria that we have. They serve the best cheese sticks with a mild dipping sauce. I have to say, I think I like these just as well. They also remind me of Little Caesars! :)
This is a delicious cheese stick recipe I created. I adapted the base recipe of the Fooled Ya Pizza recipe in the book. I wouldn't recommend doing the recipe in the book, because in my opinion that version was way too eggy. It wasn't crispy at all. Or sturdy. We had to use a fork to eat it. I like to do what I call "tweaking", when a recipe isn't how we want it. I'll try something different or substitute in a lot of things. It worked with this one (sometimes my "tweaking is unsuccessful).
Not one of my family members doesn't LOVE these cheese sticks. My brother Kaleb said, "I like this better than Trim Healthy Mama." I replied, "This is Trim Healthy Mama!" I didn't tell him what they were made of until after he had eaten five of them. :)
For all you THM beginners, this recipe requires no specialty ingredients. No almond flour, flax meal, protein powder, or any of that stuff you have trouble pronouncing the name of. You could make a nice pizza crust with this too.
If you want, make yourself some marinara sauce to go with them! I think I will next time.
Fooled Ya Cheese Sticks {S}
- 2 (16 oz.) bags frozen cauliflower, lightly steamed
- Scant, 1 1/4 cups carton egg whites
- 4 lightly packed cups shredded PS mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp. minced garlic, optional
- salt, garlic/onion powder, and Italian seasoning (to taste)
- 1/4 cup ricotta, optional
- 1 1/2 lightly packed cups shredded PS mozzarella
- 1 1/2 lightly packed cups shredded monterey jack cheese
- Italian seasoning, optional
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
After lightly steaming cauliflower (just until warmed all the way through), place in colander and press all liquid possible out with a paper plate or paper towels.

Lay cauliflower out in a thin layer on paper towels and soak up all the liquid possible with another layer of paper towels on top, OR you can wrap up cauliflower in an old dish towel and squeeze out all the liquid possible. (The main idea is to try to get ALL the liquid POSSIBLE out so that your crust will be crispy and not a soggy-eggy mess.)
Place your cauli-flour (although it looks, nor feels nothing like flour) in blender. Add egg whites and pulse to combine. Add cheese and seasonings and blend well for a couple minutes, stopping to scrape the sides every so often.
Plop cauli-crust mixture onto a parchment lined (about 11x15-in) jelly roll pan or rimmed cookie sheet. Spread mixture out evenly, filling the sheet/pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven. Carefully, grab sides of parchment paper and flip the crust over (move the crust back on the pan with 2 spatulas if you miss the pan a bit).
Bake in oven for 20 minutes more.

Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes more or until desired brownness/bubbly goodness is achieved.

My crust missed the pan some after I flipped it, so I took 2 spatulas and carefully (so that my crust didn't rip) pulled it back on the pan.

I think that these are delicious with hot sauce and crushed red pepper. I bet they would be really good with a homemade marinara sauce too!

My Testimony and Bible Time
I feel the need to tell you guys about the best thing that ever happened to me. That's right, it's better than when I started Trim Healthy Mama. It's better than when I first discovered how to ride a bike. It's better than the time I bought my own hamster. It's better than when I got to go to Disney World.
It was the time I accepted Jesus into my heart to be my Lord and Savior; when I accepted his precious gift of salvation and placed all my trust in him. (John 3:16-17, Luke 13:3)
I have always grown up in church. When I was little I knew you had to be saved to go to heaven. I knew you couldn't go to heaven by good works or because a lot of your family members were saved. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5) I just didn't understand it yet and the Holy Spirit hadn't drawn me. I remember being around 6 years old asking my big sis (Savannah), "When am I gonna get saved?" She would reply something like, "You will. Just wait."
That day came. Of course I wasn't expecting it, at the time. Because I had heard that same story so many times. The story about Jesus dying on the cross for my sins. Ms. Lisa, our children's church teacher (at that time) would tell that story at the end of every children's lesson she taught. She would put piece after piece of felt on the board, placing the picture in our mind.
It was October 27, 2007 on a Saturday night. We were at church having Children's Day. On Children's Day we would have games for all the kids and a cookout for the whole family. Afterward, Ms. Lisa or one of the Sunday School teachers would teach a lesson.
That night, as a 7 year old girl I felt it for the first time. I felt the Holy Spirit yanking (not tugging!) on my heart, saying, "GO!" Thankfully I obeyed. The Holy Spirit sure is good at his job. I couldn't sit there any longer. I looked at my mom, who was sitting beside me, and asked, "Can I go to the altar?" "Yeah!" she said.
I walked quickly down the aisle and to the left altar (I was sitting on the left side). I knelt down and asked Jesus to save me forever, on that altar. I remember I cried and cried. Ms Lisa came and read scripture to me, and showed me what the Bible said about salvation. I can't remember the exact verse, but I think it was in Romans. She asked me, "Did He save ya?" I remember nodding my head with joy.
I believe Jesus took me in the moment I obeyed that still small voice and ran to him. No, people don't get saved by going to the altar to pray. Some people go, just to go. Whether it be for a friend or because they want people to look at them. People get saved when they realize they are a sinner, the Holy Spirit starts drawing them, and they OBEY the voice of the Lord. They ACCEPT Him. They no longer wait. They've made the decision in their heart already when they say to God "OK, I'll go to you. Save me."
You know if you've been saved. I have never been the same since. Don't get me wrong, I still sin every day, and I have awful problems with pride (It hurts to admit it). But, when I do fail God or sin against him, I feel terrible afterwards. The Holy Spirit tugs and tugs, telling me, "You shouldn't have done that. Make it right."
Please pray for me. That I would get rid of my pride. That I wouldn't think I am at the same level as my elders. I know God's going to help me. I just have to continue to read His Word every day, pray to Him, and grow in grace. As Paul said, "I die daily." (1 Cor. 15:31).
So, have you been saved? Have you been born again? Do you know that you will go to heaven when you die? The Bible (God's holy word) says Jesus is the only way. You won't get to heaven any other way, but through Him (John 14:6). You may ask me, "How do you get saved?" Romans 10:9 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." And Luke 13:3 and 5 says, "...but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." So, all you have to do is repent, believe and confess. Pretty simple, isn't it? You see, Jesus already did the complicated part when he died on the cross.
After I got saved I followed the Lord in believers baptism. I love to hear my dad read the story about Philip and the eunuch before baptizing someone. My dad said one time, the moment the eunuch said I believe that Jesus is the son of God, he was saved. Then the eunuch showed the world how he had changed by being baptized. Some people don't have the chance to be baptized after they get saved because of disabilities or death right after, so I thank God that he gave me the opportunity to show the world what Jesus had done for me.
I know you are probably thinking, "After a post that long, it must have been the best thing that ever happened to her!" Well, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. If you get saved it will be the best thing that ever happened to you. :)
Just last week I finished reading the whole Bible. Yeah! Now I get to start all over! :)
There's always something else God will show you through a verse or a story. Fellow believers, don't stop reading His word!
Here is a picture of my VERY worn out Bible reading plan. I never go by the day schedule. I just read what's on the paper.
Here is a picture of the Bible I use and the new plan I'm working on. I love it!
Every once in a while, I'll read from a devotion/study book. I like what I've read from this one.
I always drink a cup of coffee while reading my Bible. :)
When do I read my Bible? I have long days, so I usually wake up at 5 am, read my Bible, and go on with the rest of my day.

When the Rev. Daniel Anholzer packed his bags in 2002 to serve a three-year term as the new provincial minister of the Detroit-based Province of St. Joseph, the Order of Franciscan Minor Capuchin priest knew it was unlikely he'd return to his beloved "Rainbow Parish" in Saginaw.
His re-election to a second three-year term in 2005 plus a yearlong sabbatical in Asia pretty much sealed his fate, Anholzer believed.
"When the new provincial was elected, I let him know I was open to whatever he wanted me to do and go wherever he wanted me to go," said Anholzer, 57. "I was stunned when he asked me if I would be willing to come back here, because that just doesn't happen. But I quickly said yes. I couldn't tell you how very happy that made me. Saginaw really is home."
Saginaw's St. Joseph parishioners -- families of Irish, Polish, Cambodian, black and Hispanic heritage -- learned in January Anholzer was returning to the church at 910 N. Sixth.
He succeeds the Rev. William M. Frigo, who filled in for the Rev. Ramiro Trejo. Trejo vacated his post in January to address health challenges.
With his May return, Anholzer becomes the third Capuchin friar leading a Catholic Diocese of Saginaw parish. The Rev. Francis Voris is the pastor of St. Anthony of Padua, 3680 S. Washington in Spaulding Township; and James Hast is leading St. Agnes, 2500 W. River in Sanford.
Prior to his Detroit stint leading the nearly 200-member order, Anholzer served for 18 years as Saginaw's St. Joseph's pastor. After touring the completed $2.6 million, 550-seat house of worship -- he left as construction was just beginning -- he's wasting no time getting back into the swing.
The priest will join St. Joseph parishioners and First Ward residents in a volunteer Community Clean Up Day today from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on North Sixth from Sears to Norman in Saginaw.
A bigger challenge looming is reunifying the congregation, Anholzer said. Barely two years after his departure, members bitterly clashed over the placement of the "Virgin mother of Jesus, Our Lady of Guadeloupe" statue.
"Unfortunately, some parishioners are still hurt about the cultural insensitivity of it all," Anholzer said.
Hispanic members claim Christ's mother appeared to an Indian peasant near Mexico City in 1531. The icon is credited for bringing native Mexican Indians into the Holy See. In the 1940s, Hispanic church members had the statue cast in Mexico and shipped to Saginaw.
It stood at the front of the former sanctuary until the new church opened in April 2003, when church leaders placed the statue out of view in a small chapel area and replaced it with a painting.
For Hispanic parishioners, removing the statue -- from which believers request intercession with God -- ended six decades of cultural sensitivity and tradition at the church, comprising about 85 percent Hispanic, 10 percent African-American and 5 percent white.
Members of the church, which prides its open-door ministry, also butt heads on neighborhood outreach efforts, said Anholzer, who was ordained as a priest in 1981. He lived in Nicaragua for five years, ministering to people in communities throughout the country. He came to Saginaw in 1984 to serve parishioners of the East Side Saginaw congregation, known as the Rainbow Parish.
"I haven't come back to St. Joseph to serve as a 'messiah' who can fix everything that is broken. There's only one Messiah, Jesus our Lord. My goal is to build unity again, to be the 'miracle on North Sixth Street' that (the late) Bishop Kenneth E. Untener dubbed it so many years ago.
"But unity is something you have to work on continuously. 'We' have to replace the 'them and us' distrustful spirit. To do that we have to take steps to heal and admit we were all right and all wrong, learn from it and move on.
"Living the Gospel isn't something where once you sign on, so to speak, everything coasts from there," Anholzer added.
"That's when the real work -- replacing selfishness and individualism with sharing and community, respect and shared commitment -- begins."

40 Indian Field Road reports an accepted offer and its listing shows just 22 days on the market and an original asking price of $775 . All that's good news for the seller, and the listing agent did nothing wrong, played no games here, but because the house was off the market from late May until November its actual history won't go into the data base when Greenwich real estate sales are complied. In fact, this property sold for $765,000 in 2008, the owners installed a new kitchen and baths, refinished the floor and painted, then placed it for sale at $975,000 in May, 2010. As noted, that listing expired last May so the clock's been reset and we no longer will know that the actual days on market were 753 and the original price was 20% higher than the last asking price.
So be careful when viewing statistics from our GAR.

In today's challenging economic climate, getting a job as a recent college graduate appears a daunting task. Many recent graduates have been forced to settle for entry level jobs unrelated to their chosen field. Having a college degree certainly helps when looking for a job, but it is no guarantee of success.
However, despite the national economic downturn, there are still jobs available. Since information technology (IT) departments are a key part of many companies' efforts to save money, there are many openings available. Any job that can help a company to improve their own bottom line is likely to be an area of growth for them.
So how can a recent graduate go about landing that crucial first job in IT?
First, you need to have a great resume. Your resume is not just another college paper that you get a grade on. When looking for a job, your resume is a straightforward pass or fail assignment. If you pass, you get to move on to the next step, an interview. Failing this assignment means you start over from square one with a different company. Fortunately, there are resources online that can help you start your IT resume, such as Monster.com, Dice.com and ITresume.org.
The most important part of writing your resume is making it relevant to the position for which you are applying. Use templates and online advice as starting points, then carefully read the job description for the exact position you want and use relevant language. Remember, your goal for the resume is to make the hiring manager look at this resume and see that you will be a great fit for this position, and ultimately, that you will help the company.
Once you get an interview, you go through a similar process. Although you are not writing it out on paper this time, you are still trying to demonstrate to the person interviewing you that hiring you will benefit the company. If you have a passion for IT, let it show. Mention your skills, and if the interviewer asks about a specific technology or tool that you are not familiar with, talk about how willing you are to learn. No one expects you to be an expert with every tool in the IT world, but they do want employees who have demonstrated an ability to quickly learn new programs.
Throughout the process, remember that you can do the job. Instead of focusing on your lack of experience as a recent graduate, help the company see your familiarity with the newest technologies. Your goal is to convince the company that hiring you is the best decision they can make.

Latest Version: Articulate Storyline Update 10 - Build 1509.1408 (9/15/2015). Download or read release notes.
Currently, Storyline does not support tables. If you'd like to suggest this feature, submit a request to our product development team for review. We take these requests seriously.
In the meantime, here are some alternatives for adding tables to your Storyline courses:
One option is to create a table the way you want it to look in PowerPoint. Then import the PowerPoint slide into Storyline.
Be aware that tables imported from PowerPoint get converted to images in Storyline. As a result:
However, you can workaround this by ungrouping your table in PowerPoint before you import it into Storyline. Click here for instructions.
Another option is to create a table the way you want it to look in another program, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint. Save the table as an image or take a screenshot of it. Then import the image into Storyline.
One option that may work nicely, depending on the design of your course, is to create a table in Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets. (If you use Excel, upload the spreadsheet to a free Microsoft OneDrive account, so it's hosted online.)
Then embed the online spreadsheet into your Storyline course as a web object.
If you need to edit the text in a table at some point in the future or if you want users to be able to search for the text in a table, you could build it from Storyline shapes. Use the rectangle shape for each cell in the table, and type your text into each rectangle.
Another possibility is to create your table in another program, and then attach it to your Storyline course as a resource. You can direct users to view the attachment at any time with on-slide text or narration.

FDR and Chief Justice Hughes: The President, the Supreme Court, and the Epic Battle Over the New Deal
James D. Simon
Simon & Schuster, 480 pp., $28
Reviewed by Stewart Pollock
This book centers on two heroic 20th century public figures — Franklin Delano Roosevelt, one of the most popular presidents in modern American history, and Charles Evans Hughes, one of the greatest chief justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.
In the 1930s, Roosevelt and Hughes fought vigorously over the roles of the president and the Supreme Court, raising timeless issues about the separation of powers and judicial independence. When the contest ended, FDR said of Hughes: "He is the best politician in the United States."
If you like a blow-by-blow account of a fight between a president and a chief justice, you will enjoy this book.
In alternating chapters, the book traces each man's personal and professional life. Although their backgrounds differed, they shared some common ties: each was an only child, each graduated from an Ivy League university (Hughes from Brown, Roosevelt from Harvard) and attended Columbia Law School (only Hughes graduated), each practiced law in New York City and each held several prominent public positions, including FDR's service as governor of New York.
n 1930, President Herbert Hoover appointed Hughes as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The court over which Hughes presided was divided among four conservative justices ("the four horsemen"), three liberal justices and two swing votes, which included Hughes.
Two years later, Roosevelt was elected president in the depths of the Depression. Offering a "New Deal," Roosevelt attacked the underlying social and economic problems with innovative legislation. For various reasons, the court ruled much of the legislation to be unconstitutional — rulings that prompted FDR to blast the court as "the nine old men" with a "horse and buggy" mentality.
In fascinating detail, the book recounts the history of the battle between a president determined to pull the country from the Depression and a chief justice equally determined to preserve the independence of the judiciary.
After his landslide reelection in 1936, FDR proposed legislation that authorized him to nominate an additional justice for every sitting justice over age 70, his "court packing" plan. He justified the plan by arguing that, because of the age of its justices, the Supreme Court was behind in its disposition of cases. Hughes demolished the argument. The public and congressional representatives from both parties were outraged at the president's attack on judicial independence.
In the "switch that saved nine," the court started to sustain the New Deal legislation. In rich detail, the book explains both the opinions that initially struck down and those that later upheld the New Deal.
On June 2, 1941, Hughes sent a letter to the president announcing his retirement. In response, "Roosevelt invited Hughes to have lunch with him the next week at the White House, where the two men talked — 'governor to governor'; president to chief justice; American to American."
The fight over the constitutionality of the New Deal legislation and the independence of the judiciary was over.
Stewart Pollock, former New Jersey Supreme Court Justice, is of counsel to the law firm Riker Danzig.

INDIANAPOLIS (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White has been indicted by a Grand Jury on voter fraud charges.
White admitted to voting at the wrong precinct during the May primary, and claimed it was a simple mistake.
He surrendered to authorities Thursday afternoon.
Despite the indictment, it is business as usual at the Secretary of State's office.
Jason Thomas says, "We are continuing to work in the Secretary of State's office. We're incorporating businesses, working to help elderly fraud victims and continuing our business as normal."
White faces seven felony counts.
Legally White can stay in office unless he is convicted, however in a statement from the Governor late Thursday, Governor Daniels is calling for him to step down from his duties for the time being until a verdict is reached. The chairmen of Indiana's Democratic and Republican parties also agree that White needs to step down while facing the charges.
Governor Daniels says, "This news is sad and regrettable, but the only course of honor is for Mr. White to step down from his duties, at least during the duration of these proceedings until a verdict is reached. It would be neither credible nor appropriate for the state's top elections official to continue to perform his duties while contesting criminal charges, some of them under the very laws the Secretary of State implements. I have consulted with each of the other statewide elected officials and our judgment about this is unanimous."
White says, "I think that issue is going to work itself out, and let the investigation go as it goes. I need to concentrate on the job I was elected here to do and that's what I'm gonna do."
If White is convicted, Governor Daniels could name a successor.
White is currently out on bond.

Some local Toyota dealers are teaming up with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs baseball team to strike out hunger.
Three local dealers -- Krause, Bennett and Milham -- joined the IronPigs to collect food items for the 4th annual Toyota Tundra food drive.
A convoy of pickup trucks delivered 8,600 pounds of food to the Second Harvest Food Bank in Allentown on Wednesday.
The food will go a long way to feed those in need, officials said.
"8,600 pounds of food means probably close to 7,000 meals that will be on the tables of people who might not have had the means to put the food on the table themselves," said Ann McManus, director, Second Harvest Food Bank.
To find out how you can help, you can head over to the food bank's website.

Ryan Terpstra, host of the appropriately titled "Sports Talk With Ryan Terpstra" on WGHN-AM (1370), came to me for a little Valentine's Day advice during our weekly Friday afternoon chats.
Not his best move.
Fortunately, we had other topics of interest to discuss, including the tabloid king that is Alex Rodriguez, the Detroit Pistons' trade options and the credibility of sports blogs. Just like this one!
(In case you're wondering, credibility ain't exactly what I'm shooting for. A minor chuckle or guffaw with my lame jokes and tangents? Now that I'll take.)

Hibbing, MN (Northland's NewsCenter) - The teen accused of biting the Mayor of Hibbing in the face has pleaded not guilty to the eight criminal charges against him.
Police say 17-year-old Thunder Cloud Jose Rodriguez allegedly bit Hibbing Mayor, Rick Cannata, following an attempted robbery and attack in May.
A Judge ruled earlier this summer there is probable cause for the eight charges against the teenager, who is being tried as an adult.
A Pre-Trial is set for September 22nd.
Two other suspects are also facing numerous charges for their alleged involvement in the incident.

A Beaverton parent told the school board Monday night that she has concerns about the district meeting the required 130-hours of annual course instruction time.
Parent Michelle McHugh was reacting to news about Portland Public Schools, which has been required by the state to reschedule its high school classes after failing to meet the mandatory hours per course.
"I urge you to re-evaluate the high school class times to ensure the 130 hours are met," said McHugh, who ran the numbers at the district's five high schools and found discrepancies.
Later, McHugh said the news about Portland put Beaverton parents "on alert" because they didn't realize the schools were not hitting the mark. Asked if she planned to file a complaint as Portland parents did, which lead to the state reprimand, McHugh said she's waiting to see what Beaverton does before making that move.
She was the only parent to speak on the issue Monday night.
Beaverton Superintendent Jeff Rose said the district is seeking clarification of the class time rule from the Oregon Department of Education.
"It's too soon for us to say specifically where we are and what we're going to do relative to meeting 130 hours," he said. "We will determine the best and cleanest course of action."
Rose said so far discussions with staff about solutions have come up with few results.
Beaverton is one of many districts in the Portland area that are not meeting the rule but believed they were compliant based on their interpretation of the mandate.
The rule says students can earn credit by successfully completing classroom or equivalent work, Jon Bridges, district administrator for instructional accountability, told the board. "We are in compliance based on the wording of that rule. If that changes… we will develop a plan of correction."

Special education, prekindergarten tuition and magnet school admission procedures are among the items that will be discussed Monday at a meeting of the Jefferson Parish School Board's academic affairs committee.
The meeting will take place at 3:30 p.m. at Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School in Kenner.Earlier this year, the School Board commissioned a comprehensive study on special education covering a wide range of disabilities, including autism, developmental delays, emotional disturbances and physical impairments. Special-needs students make up about 12 percent of the system's 45,500 students.
Officials said they were concerned about inequities in special education and want to make sure that students are receiving comparable services.
The committee will also discuss possible changes in prekindergarten tuition as well as admission policies for advanced academy elementary students moving up to an advanced secondary school.

Grassy Place, a Nature Conservancy of Canada protected site along the Robinsons River, is seen in this submitted photo.
After spending many long hours alone at Grassy Place during the winter, biologist John Gosse was encouraged by results of trap tests on the threatened Newfoundland pine marten.
The Glovertown man spent three to four days at a time at the location between late February and the end of March, staying in a tiny log cabin and checking hair snag traps he put out on his first outing.
"A lot of animals visited the traps and there were lots of samples, which have now been sent on to a laboratory for DNA testing," Gosse said in a telephone interview on Monday.
That testing will prove how many different Newfoundland pine marten visited the traps. While awaiting the results, Gosse suspects several different animals will be identified.
"There was a lot of drifting snow when I was up there and fresh tracks spread over a large area, so that's encouraging in regards to multiple animals," he said.
He visited the remote property by snowshoe and skis while monitoring the sites.
Gosse said this area hasn't been checked for some time, so this is new information for that particular part of the province.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada was pleased to hear Gosse's news about the threatened animal, whose species has a population estimated between 600 and 900 in the world.
The conservancy launched the project to investigate whether the species can be found using Grassy Place — a 3,700-acre Nature Conservancy of Canada protected site along Robinsons River in southwest Newfoundland — as habitat.
A species at risk, the Newfoundland pine marten has a slender body, short limbs, and a long bushy tail. Its dark brown fur is contrasted by a distinctive orange patch on its throat. Swift but small, the skilled hunters weigh about a kilogram and measure 50-60 centimetres in length.
Lanna Campbell, the Nature Conservancy of Canada's program manager said with the field portion of the research completed, the Nature conservancy is now working with the Core Research Equipment and Instrument Training Network at Memorial University to establish individual identification of the hair samples.

THE PROBLEM: obtrusive steel columns
Pipes used to be hidden behind the undulating walls and podlike rooms. Once those had been removed, Meyer and Davis had to figure out what to do with the loft's prominent steel columns.
THE SOLUTION: an organic, open layout
The architects stripped the painted pillars, exposing their natural charcoal tint, then used them to separate the shared area into three distinct zones: dining room, lounge, living room. "Instead of trying to radically reinterpret the layout, we let those divisions inform us," Meyer says.
The kitchen, however, proved a sticking point. Meyer and Davis wanted to paint the custom cabinetry high-gloss black to complement the columns and help give the room a stronger voice. Lemieux, a fierce minimalist, was adamant that the kitchen blend seamlessly with the rest of the loft. Standing her ground, she insisted on off-white paint but happily went with the architects' idea of embellishing the cabinets with raised framing and mounting herringbone panels on the walls of the island.

With the SEC season set to begin for No. 6/7-ranked LSU, one thing is certain: No matter who is on the other side, there won't be a shortage of talent.
RECORDS: Auburn 3-0, 1-0 SEC; LSU 3-0
WHEN: 6:45 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Tiger Stadium
RADIO: WWL (870 AM, 105.3 FM), 98.1-FM in Baton Rouge
That's certainly the case for the opponent this week, as Auburn invades Tiger Stadium for a Saturday night tussle.
Here are '5 player to watch' from the orange-and-blue Tigers from The Plains of Alabama.
1. Robenson
Therezie (27): For a defense that has survived
allowing chunks of yards with timely turnovers and occasional stinginess on
third down, Therezie has been a huge shot in the arm. He came up with an
interception in the end zone late in a 31-24 victory against Washington State
and also leads AU with 17 tackles, 13 solo, with a pair of stops behind the
line of scrimmage. Much like LSU got from Tyrann Mathieu in 2010 and '11,
Therezie gives Auburn a game-changing playmaker on defense.
2. Nick Marshall (14): Any remaining questions about Marshall's readiness as an SEC quarterback were answered when he connected on 6-of-8 throws for 84 yards on AU's game-winning march, an 88-yard drive that yielded an 11-yard TD pass with 10 seconds to go in the game. His 339 passing yards last week were the most ever for an Auburn QB in his SEC debut and that's an attention-getter against an LSU secondary that has shown a propensity for allowing an occasional downfield throw.
3. Tre Mason (21): His 1,002-yard rushing season a year ago put Mason in the SEC spotlight, not to mention his constant threat as a home run threat on kickoffs. Mason scratched out only 34 yards on 10 carries last week, but he led Auburn with 63 yards on the ground against LSU last season when offense was a struggle for both teams. He's quick enough to do some damage on the edges if the LSU defense has any breakdowns.
4. Dee Ford (30): He re-emerged in the AU lineup last week after missing the first two games and got stronger as the game went on, finishing with 5 of his 6 tackles on the last two Mississippi State drives. Last year he led AU with 6 sacks among his 36 tackles and that was while playing second fiddle to Corey Lemonier. Ford is still managing a tender knee, but if that holds up and he can get the edge once in a while, he could have a huge impact.
5. Jake Holland (5): Auburn is going to get a full dose of Jeremy Hill and then a Terrence Magee chaser. How the AU linebackers stand up against the LSU running attack is a major storyline, and that thrusts Holland into the spotlight. Much like former LSU star Kevin Minter, Holland is capable of setting the tone if he is able to get to the ball carrier and either make the stop himself or redirect the play. He is also a key in different blitz packages - he led Auburn with 12 QB hurries last season.

The Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Louisiana has been around since 1965 providing the youth of Louisiana with programs and activities in sports, leadership, education and the arts. Hundreds of children have participated in activities that have helped them spend afternoons and summers building their futures under the supervision and mentorship of qualified and caring staff at the club.
"The Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Louisiana Covington Unit provides programming in the Arts, Character and Leadership Development, Health and Life Skills, Education and Careers, and Sports, Fitness and Recreation. These programs are designed to enrich the lives of the young people we serve and provide them with valuable experiences to positively shape their futures and impact their lives in a meaningful way," said Jessica Beck, Unit Director at Boys & Girls Club Covington.
"During the school year the Club operates an afterschool program and in the summer a day camp. The Club offers children a safe place to come during times when the may otherwise be unsupervised. With the community's support we can continue to provide this much needed service in the community," said Beck.
This year the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Louisiana's Covington Unit adds another event to the list: A fundraising event called the Great Futures Bike Challenge. The event will take place in Terra Bella Village on May 3. Check-in takes place from 8 to 8:45 a.m. with the first participant challenge beginning at 9 a.m. The event will last until about 11 a.m., with other activities will also be available for the kids entertainment including a bike washing station, face painting and more. The St. Tammany Parish Homebuilder's Association's Raising the Roof for Charity Raffle will also take place at the event.
The event will consist of participants riding his or her tricycle or bicycle around a course in an attempt to reach their lap goal. There are three participant categories, Tricycles and Parent push/pull; Bicycles with training wheels; Bicycles without training wheels (up to 12 years old). Other riding toys such as scooters, big wheels, razors, etc are not allowed in the challenge.
All participants must be registered prior to the event in order to participate and must bring their own helmet and tricycle/bicycle. Any participant without a helmet will not be allowed to ride in the event. Completed Sponsor Worksheets and all donations will also be collected at the time of the event.
"The Great Futures Bike Challenge is a fundraising event for the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Louisiana's Covington Unit that allows the youth in our community to raise money and awareness for the Club. Leading up to the event, each participant will ask friends and family to sponsor them by giving a donation towards their lap goal. On the day of the event, each participant will ride their tricycle or bicycle around a course and will attempt to reach their lap goal. All of the money raised will go towards the Boys & Girls Club in Covington," said Steve Tujague, Jr., Board Member of the Boys & Girls Club in Covington.
This is the first year the Great Futures Bike Challenge put on by the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Louisiana's Covington Unit. The Bike Challenge was created to give families in the community a chance to participate in an event together to serve others and to raise money and awareness for the Club.
"There will be other activities during the day to include a bike washing station and face painting," Tujague said. "Most of the events geared towards kids are for their consumption only but this event gives kids a chance to give back while having fun. Holly and I intend to use this event to teach our kids how to love and serve others."
The Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Louisiana's Covington Unit is in desperate need for funds to continue the operations and to continue to educate the community about the value they bring to the youth of the area. They chose the date and location at Terra Bella to bring attention to the St. Tammany Homebuilder's Association Raising the Roof for Charity Raffle House. The Boys & Girls Club is one of the four beneficiaries of the Raffle House proceeds. The Raffle House will be opened for a private showing for attendees of the Bike Challenge.
"This Bike-A-Thon has been created to support the club financially, but also in an effort to raise awareness and to teach our own children about kindness and the importance of giving back to our community. These sweet children need to know that their community loves them, supports them and truly cares about their futures!! Please consider joining us on the morning of May 3rd for a fun, family event while supporting those children whom are often overlooked," said Holly Tujague, Bike Challenge committee member. "Get your neighborhood friends, church friends and school friends together and come out to support these kiddos and the club that means so much to them and their futures!"
According the Boys & Girls Club in Covington Facts & Figures Statistics, "This past year, the Boys & Girls Club in Covington provided a safe and positive place for young people to go every day after school and during the long days of summer when school was not in session. They kept 210 young people engaged in positive and productive activities while keeping them off the streets, out of gangs, off drugs, and in school. Provided homework assistance and tutoring to club members resulting in dramatic increases in their academic achievement and school participation; provided character and leadership development opportunities for youth through community service and other civic-minded activities. The club also provided over 2,400 hot and nutritious meals and over 14,000 snacks to young people last year. They also provided over 77,000 hours of service to youth and families."
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Louisiana Covington Unit asks participants to register as soon as possible to give them time to ask friends and family for sponsorship, but there is no deadline for registering, providing a sponsorship, or giving a donation. The Bike Challenge is open to the public. The club is also in need volunteers for the event.

A postcard view and warm atmosphere make it worth the amble to Walsh Bay, even if you don't have theatre tickets.
A great restaurant meal can be a piece of theatre. Though when you're going to the actual theatre, you don't necessarily want your dinner to be the star of the night.
This is why it was a problem that for so long the dining space at the end of Pier 4/5, home to the Sydney Theatre and Sydney Dance companies, was taken up by the sort of reverential, white-tableclothed establishment that served tiers of finicky courses and collectively bristled when patrons buzzed out the theatre doors. Like Benedict Andrews directing a sitcom, the two institutions just didn't click together. If you're going to an 8pm show, you want to eat fast, you want to eat light, and you want to eat fun.
The new establishment, with the charmingly literal title of the Bar at the End of the Wharf, provides in spades. The focus is on share plates that will line your belly enough so your attention doesn't drift while Romeo and Juliet still look like happy newlyweds. These belly-liners might be a classic Ploughman's Platter for two ($18), a buttery and tender Roasted Mushroom Bruschetta ($10), Crispy School Prawns with Chipotle Mayo that go down like chips and the prettily plated-up Seared Scallops, Sweet Corn and Morcilla ($14). If anything, the food is a little too fast and too light — it comes out snappily from the kitchen while your companion is still waiting to order drinks at the bar, and you might have to order a dish more than you'd count on (two per person is a good bet).
House cocktails start at an enticing $12 and include simple mainstays such as The Tempest (A Dark and Stormy with a theatrical alias) as well as a special themed around the show of the moment — for Les Liaisons Dangereuses, it's By the Ears, a delightfully tart and salty combination of coriander-infused Beefeater gin, lemon juice, sugar and Perrier Jouet champagne that sets the mood for the evening perfectly. There's great variety in the seasonally adjusted list, which tops out at the World Famous Fifty-Dollar Long Island Ice Tea, top-shelf and strictly one per person. Beer and cider comes from Newtown brewer Young Henry's.
The Bar at the End of the Wharf also offers something no other small bar in Sydney can: a jaw-dropping view of the likes normally hogged by tourist traps. You can perch your drink on the rail of the decking and gaze over the Harbour Bridge and Luna Park. This, plus the warm atmosphere, makes it well worth the detour to Walsh Bay even if your evening is unticketed. The classically cool warehouse cavern has been maximised by designer Alice Babidge (STC's resident set and costume designer), and the set-up includes a 'serious' corner with books and pool table and 'fun' corner with couches and a ping-pong table (often so dramatically positioned that it could be called the Ping-Pong Table at the End of the World. They lose a lot of balls.)
The Bar at the End of the Wharf is the perfect theatre bar, and a whole lot more.
Update 8 May 2014: This bar is now titled the Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf.

On May 22, the teams and their former owners, Portland Baseball Investment Group, announced that an agreement had been reached to sell the franchises to Paulson and Shortstop, LLC. The transfer was subject to an approval and finalization process. Today's announcement completes the transaction.
Portland Baseball Investment Group, led by majority investor Abe Alizadeh, purchased the teams in 2005.
Paulson, 34, will assume effective immediately the positions of president of the Beavers and Timbers, and general manager of the Beavers.
While Paulson owns a majority of the teams, his father, Henry M. Paulson, also has a percentage of ownership, due to his small minority interest in Shortstop, LLC. Henry Paulson is currently the Secretary of the Treasury for the United States.
