Introducing the very first DVD dedicated to the iPhone and iPod Touch!
Enjoy an interactive ride into the magic of iPhone with your host, Nick Byrd. A full-length, full-feature DVD that makes learning iPhone magic easy!
You'll discover new and unusual ways to use your iPhone and perform some of this world's most unique street magic!
Turn your iPhone into a Hotrod, with a twist! A spectator picks one of six colored dots from the screen. To prove you knew she was going to pick the yellow dot, all of the dots turn yellow and a note with today's date says, "You will choose yellow!"
After showing off your virtual wallet, you're able to remove any one of the items inside, right out of the phone! You'll never leave home without it!
Same idea as the "iWallet," but you explain the newest iPhone feature is your own personal ATM. Show a picture of a twenty and magically pull one from the phone. No lines or transaction fees!
Go deep and demonstrate the new iPhone X-Ray feature with a quick x-ray of your own empty hand! Uh oh, it's not an exact match. There's something round in the image. Remove the phone from your hand and an actual coin appears!
Use the icons from your home screen to perform a cool prediction effect!
Lovely Assistant:
A chosen card is lost in the deck. After many attempts, you're unable to locate the card so you ask your lovely assistant for help. She appears on the screen and reveals the chosen card, washing away any doubt of your powers!
Why do all the work yourself? A random person from your phone's contact list finds the spectator's freely chosen card! The spectator makes the call, not you!
Card from iPhone:
That's right, pull a chosen card right out of your phone!
Princess Card Trick:
A classic, now better than ever and in your face on iPhone! The spectator just thinks of one of six cards. The iPhone goes to work and makes the spectator's card VANISH!
Penny to Dime:
A penny, displayed on the screen of your iPhone, magically changes into a dime! But wait, the penny you were holding under the phone also turns into a dime! An amazing effect that comes complete with a special gimmick.
Wallpaper Magic:
Use your iPhone wallpaper to perform a trick. Now you're ready to perform whenever opportunity calls!
This amazing magic set for your iPhone includes a DVD with more than 70 minutes of professional quality video, a CD-ROM (PC and MAC Compatible) containing video and picture files ready to load on your iPhone or iPod Touch, plus the special Penny gimmick for Penny to Dime! Works on both PCs and MACs!
Magic with the iPhone works with any iPhone or iPod Touch under regular default settings, and doesn't require third-party software. This product is not associated with iPhone, iPod, or iPod Touch, which are registered trademarks of Apple, Inc.

On July 15, 1950 Albert married his beloved "Tuttie" (Bernice Irene Esse) and they resided between the Fashing and Esseville communities their entire lives. Albert loved softball. He was the pitcher for his brother-in-law Joe Theis's "Magnolia" softball team. He could throw the ball fast or slow, overhanded or underhanded, often tricking the batter into swinging. Later he taught his daughters to play ball and all 3 were pitchers for the Fashing Polecats!
He was an exceptional farmer, often running test plots for DeKalb to determine the best performing varieties and highest yielding sorghums. In 1960, 1961 and 1962 Albert received awards at the National level from DeKalb for high yield sorghums. In 1967 Albert was awarded "Comeback Farmer of the Year" by the Rotary Club in Atascosa County. He served on the Board of the Karnes County Farm Bureau 25 years, and for 10 of those years he was the Board President. In 1986, he served at the state level on the Texas Farm Bureau Blue Ribbon Goals Committee. The Texas Farm Bureau presented Albert with the Pioneer Award honoring him for his pioneering leadership and exceptional service to Farm Bureau and Agriculture. In 1990, Albert received an Award for Outstanding Accomplishments in Resource Conservation by Atascosa County and in 1991 the Pleasanton Lion's Club also awarded Albert as a Soil and Water Conservation Farmer. He served as a director on the Fashing/Peggy Water Supply Corporation for 9 years.
While he loved being a farmer and rancher, his greatest joy came from his devotion to the Lord and to his family. He served as Lay Leader of the Fashing United Methodist Church for 45 years and worked on numerous Emmaus Walks. He walked the talk and lived the word "love". "I love you" were the most used words in his life. All who crossed his path were blessed by his kind temperament and positive words.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, "Tuttie" (Bernice). He loved hearing his wife sing, even to his last moments on this earth. While he was blessed with 3 daughters, he always said that his boys would come later—he loved his son-in-laws as his own. He is survived by his daughter Shirley Jambers and her husband Tim from Whitsett, Sharon Purser and her husband David from Karnes City, Sandra Gibbs and her husband Kip from Corpus Christi.
His grandchildren will never forget the many rides "Papa" gave them in the Jeep, the Yellow Bird Grain Truck, and Tractors/Combines. At a young age they got their hands dirty feeding cubes to the cows. His surviving grandchildren are: John Jambers and his wife Sarah and great-grandson Jack of Conroe; Sharla Jambers Myers and her husband Travis of Katy; Kendall and Jeremy Purser of Karnes City; Justin and Katrina Gibbs of Corpus Christi.
Albert is preceded in death by his mother and father, Albert H. and Charlotte Rex Schroeder; his sisters Elsie Jonas (Walter), Louise Kellner (Herman), Charlotte "Mutzie" Henke (Felix), Alice Theis (Joe) and Helen Johnson (Kyle). His brother, Herman K. Schroeder passed away when Albert was an infant.
He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
Albert's family extends sincere appreciation to every doctor, nurse, CNA and helper that made Albert's last year's so comfortable: Dr. Gutierrez, Annette, Kelly, Anna, Mary, Tammy (Wynette), Melinda, Adriana, Sylvia, Lila, Debra, Leslie, the staff of Nurses In Touch, Serapio and Chaplin Mary Theresa.
Serving as pallbearers were Albert's 6 Grandchildren: John Jambers, Sharla Jambers Myers, Kendall Purser, Jeremy Purser, Justin Gibbs and Katrina Gibbs. Honorary Pall Bearers were, Shelby Henke, Ronnie Retzloff, Serapio Luna and Ernesto Martinez.
Visitation began, Friday, September 13, 2013 from 5:00-7:00 P.M., in the Eckols Funeral Home Chapel, Kenedy, Texas. Funeral services were celebrated at 10:00 A.M., Saturday, September 14, 2013, in the funeral home chapel with Rev. Donna Martin officiating. Interment followed in the Fashing Cemetery, Fashing, Texas.

March 15, 2012 —
PENNSYLVANIA — An initiative to share information and management suggestions with the hundreds of thousands of private forest land owners has been launched by Penn State: the Center for Private Forests. Nearly two-thirds of Pennsylvania is covered by forests, with more than 70% of those woodlands privately owned. The overall mission is the retention, stewardship and management of private forests, according to center director James Finley, professor of Forest Resources. Focus will be research, education and outreach. Audiences, in addition to landowners, will include students, the forest-products industry, loggers, conservation districts, agencies, land trusts and the public.
Faculty and staff involved in the center will cut across several Penn State departments and will include agricultural and natural-resource economists, forest scientists, rural sociologists, environmental scientists, biologists and others.
Individuals own forests for privacy, wildlife, recreation, heritage and income-production values. "But we all benefit from the critical ecological services, such as clean air and water and wildlife habitat," said Finley. "The flow of goods from private forests is an important economic driver, providing nearly 100,000 jobs and adding an estimated $14 billion to the state's gross product." Private forests are also a critical source of recreation and tourism.
Finley cited critical challenges that the center will help address: forest fragmentation, estate planning, sustainable forest management and regeneration, cross-boundary cooperation, taxation, ecosystem services and community support for retaining working forest landscapes.

Corsair Memory, a leading designer of high-performance memory modules and other advanced computer components, on Tuesday introduced a new line of DDR3 memory modules designed for enthusiasts that come with robust cooling solutions and moderate clock-speeds and default 1.5V voltage. Judging by the specifications and cooling systems, the Vengeance family has all chance to become the choice of overclockers.
"Customers have been asking for outstanding overclocking memory with a lower price tag, and we have been listening. I believe that our users will love both the exciting new look and the overclocking results they are able to achieve with our new Vengeance memory," said Thi La, vice president of memory products at Corsair.
Vengeance memory modules are based on carefully selected memory chips to enable excellent overclocking results on current- and future-generation platforms from Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp. At least initially, Vengeance DDR3 memory modules will support 1600MHz and 1866MHz clock-speeds (CL9) amid 1.5V voltage and moderate price-points. Since all high-quality DDR3 modules and chips can handle higher that 1.6V - 1.65V voltage settings easily, end-users will be able to increase both voltages and memory speeds without substantial risk. To further improve overclockability, the Vengeance modules feature robust aluminum cooling systems with high fins.
Vengeance DDR3 memory kits are available in single, dual, or triple module kits, with sizes ranging from 4GB all the way up to 16GB. The initial Corsair Vengeance family will consist of seven memory kits. All module kits are compatible with current and future generation platforms from the two major CPU suppliers.

There are various places you can order bulk herbs online. The shop I went to has a website www.smileherb.com Think I paid about $20 for the loose herbs and then some for a little mesh brewing cup. But I'm thinking of ordering more from one of several places so I can get organic.
Yeah, it's hard spending money when you might need to tweak things to find what works best for you, as meanwhile it feels like you are wasting time and money.

Dag bro got me excited for tonight's game...it is still on right? I have no idea how though, isn't parts of NYC flooded
There is reason for optimism for our Knicks. The time for rebuilding, tweaking, trading and changing is over. The time to win is NOW. There has finally been a bit of continuity over last year or so. It's time to step up and these player are ready. Here is a break down of why you should be hopeful for a great Knicks season:
Melo is coming off of an amazing period of time since the end of last march. April was an amazing month for Melo who battled mostly alone against the Heat to get us 1 win against the chumps. Following the season Melo was put on a mission to come back more fit and basketball ready then ever.
During this time he happened to grab up a gold medal in London Olympics and look like a new player while doing it. Setting new records in the Olympics he lead the team in scoring to bring the gold home to USA. Melo played positions 2-5 while proving himself a more versatile scorer then any one knew. His athleticism, shooting percentage, shot selection and passing vision all seemed to take a step to the next level. Granted this was on a team with superstar talent With players he could "trust" as teammates Melo shared the ball more and with better efficiency. He "let the game come to him".
But are the Knicks built much differently? With players at positions 1 though 5 with experience, talent, skills and hustle Melo has a team around him that can make the right play. On offense we have Kidd and Felton running the point. Both of these players are experienced vets with plenty left in the tank. Kidd is battle tested and ready to step his game up. Felton is playing with a chip on his shoulder after being labeled a bust and a "D'antoni product". He has had success in the big city before and should shine under the bright lights again. His conditioning and skills work have paid off and he entered camp and the preseason in shape and ready to
Tyson is Tyson. A consistent source of defensive mindfulness, the greatest thing about Tyson is that you know exactly what you are going to get from him. He quarterbacks the defense in a way like the best PG's orchestrate offense's. Placing players on their assignments, while shutting down big's in the post and helping on drives to the lane. He can defend the 2 to 5 positions and is quick and long enough to get steals and help blocks from anywhere near the key. On offense his rebounding skills and put back baskets give us an edge on the glass. This allows Melo and our shooters the comfort of knowing that there is a mismatch downlow fighting for your rebound.
Tyson and Melo played on the olympic team together, providing them with a great chance to get their chemistry right. I suspect that the floor spacing issue is worked out between them and I expect to see more 2 man game from 2 of the best big men in the league.
Amar'e is out injured but has worked himself into a potential beast for us this season. The major concern has to be his knees. After succesful surgery his rehab will be scrutinized and many hands will be wrung over his progress. Amar'e has a lot of heart and no one wants to be out there now more then him. His work in the offseason was to set us up for a great year. However when he does return he will have a plethora of new skills to show us. His extensive 1 on 1 work with hakeem was reinforced by a visit from hakeem to knicks training camp. Amar'e takes some of the scoring burden off of Melo and will help take the team to a different level when he returns.
JR Smith comes into the season hoping to prove himself a starter. His opportunity is now as our 2 guard rotation is pretty light and we will see plenty of J.Kidd at the position. JR is ready to prove himself on the biggest stage and comes into the season with something to prove. He is motivated and hungry. weather we starve him on the bench and let him eat defenses alive as a 6th man scorer, or put him on the floor as a 2nd scoring threat on the floor behind Melo as a starter we have a player who IS starting level talent (see James Harden comparisons).
On the bench we have:
Ronnie Brewer: a defensive specialist that Woody has nothing but praise for.
Marcus Camby: a defenisive and rebounding specialist who can shoot and pass.
Kurt Thomas: a veteran post player that can knock down the open shot and provide the savy defense that frustrates smaller opponents.
Pigroni: After watching him in the preseason we have a potential spark off the bench who can provide adequate PG direction and give valuable rest minutes to Kidd and Felton.
Copeland: an offensive spark off the bench that can drive, shoot, pass and run the floor well. He's a bit of a defensive bust but coach Woodson's guidance and this team his deficiencies should be more then made up for.
Rasheed: A veteran big that can drain the 3 ball and defend PF's like no body's business.
Iman Shumpert: Shump will come back in the new year with a better shot then ever. I've been following his progress and rehab and he has spent his time mostly working on his shot mechanics and release. As a defensive specialist he is fantastic. if he can add in a deadly jumper we have a great 2 guard who can do it all.
Novak: 3 point shooter who's been working on his game and hopes to bring more to the table this year. His Discount Tripple Check will be in full effect. Lets try to keep a tally and see how many he throws up this year.
James White: The guy can dunk. Looking forward to his garbage time minutes as he will surly throw down some amazing dunks on the fast break.
All of these players put together is better then any NBA team Melo has played on. How this translates against the competition, in particular the Heat, remains to be seen. The heat's big three are nearly indefensible and attack in a vicious and unrelenting manner that any team with a fragile psyche will be dominated. The knicks are built with that toughness in mind. It will be a case of an immovable object meeting a unstoppable force and the fireworks from that will keep everyone entertained.
Dag bro got me excited for tonight's game...it is still on right? I have no idea how though, isn't parts of NYC flooded
Just reitterating that this is the best Knicks team assembled in my life time. refer to the last 2 games for proof.
^ Agreed.
Everyone is playing perfectly within their skillset.
We have a 3 headed PG monster who are all looking to pass first.
Melo's effort on defense combined with his lethal scoring turns him into the MVP calibre player we all hoped for.
Brewer and Novak adding huge to the team this year. Novak is no longer a 3 pt specialist only, he can play. Brewer is just all round looking solid.
I really hope we continue to play great all the way up until STAT's return. I hope we have a high w/l ratio at that stage so that it will be immediately measurable how well he slots into the team chemistry we have now.
If it looks to be working, great. If not he needs to be part of the 2nd unit. Can't f*ck with the swag the Knicks have right now.
This is by far the best Knick team in my lifetime I'm 21 and coming from someone who like the Knicks but they aren't my favorite team from an unbiased strictly based on potentially when healthy the Knicks can be the best team in the league especially if Amare and Shump can make a smooth transition into the team.
My gosh, after 2 games you fellas want to crown them?
Knicks are winning the 2012-13 Championship.
Damn saying the Knicks is better than the you-know-who Knicks is a big claim seeing as how we havent proven nada yet. Lets get battle tested before we make such a claim. We all see how the Eagles did with their "Dream Team".
We are getting a little ahead of our selves, wouldn't you say.We still have to see how Amare meshes when he returns, all though this has been a great start, finally.
In terms of talent, depth & leadership this team assembled for the 2012-2013 season is probably the THIRD BEST NYK team I've seen.
Obviously, the best team in NYK history is the championship squad with Clyde & Co.
But, the next best team (IMHO) would be the 1998-1999 sqaud. I think the 1992-1993 / 1993-1994 team would be just behind that.
But that's just me. The manin reason, that 1998 team had continuity, for the team had been playing together for years... and then they injected SPREE & CAMBY. Van Gundy more proven than Woodsy. The early 90s squad was TOUGH and had Harper &/or Doc.
BUT THIS TEAM seems to be focused and locked in. We have a go-to star in Carmelo. We have the 3-headed Kraken beast in our big vets (KT, MC & RW) to clog the lane. We got a legit beastly defensive-minded center (Chandler). We got moxy and HOF talent at the point in Kidd-Felton-Pablo. We have wing players to guard LB/WADE, and knock down shots (Brewer & Shump), we have instant offense off the bench in JR Smith (and eventually Amar'e). We have one of the best shooters in the NBA in Novak.
This team is buying in to what the coach is selling, and he knows defense. If this teams plays defense and wins 60 games... grabs the #2 seed... They'll avoid MIA until Conf Finals. Then, if they get there, they'll be playing great bball (and hopefully healthy).... We could give MIA a run.
We'll have Pbal-SMith-Amare dominated 2nd units; we have Carmelo to make shots in the 4th and close games. We have KIDD's brain, and the size & strength of KT-MC-RW. We have guards and forwards and we are big. We have vet leadership.
The only thing that this team lacks is chemistry (or continuity) for they were just assembled, and we're not healthy (yet).
This could be our year.
But we must play with an attittude every game. Listen to Kidd-Chandler-Wallace-Thomas. BUy into team and sacrfice. Dare we dream?

By Karl Terry: PNT columnist
The Terrys are once again a two-dog family.
After last summer's death of a dog we'd lived with for 13 years, we had been a single-dog family. But I knew it wouldn't last. We've had more than one pet for most of the 27 years my wife and I've been married.
My wife had been dropping hints all fall. I left specific instructions with my sister, mother and niece not to aid and abet in a trip to the animal shelter while I was in the woods hunting this fall. The holidays arrived with just one dog in the house and all seemed well as far as I was concerned. The lady of the house was a little sore that she didn't receive a new dog for Christmas, though.
It hadn't helped matters any that in the interim my sister and niece each got new dogs. The deck was stacked against me.
I dragged my feet and made it clear that the first thing she needed to do was make sure the resident dog would tolerate a new canine in the casa. A new dog had to be young enough to be trainable but hopefully not a puppy and all the extra effort that would require.
I had scarcely laid down the ground rules when adoption opportunity appeared out of nowhere. A local service business owner was in our home doing some work and told my wife about another customer of his who had a dog that needed a new home. He gave her the woman's phone and before I was ever apprised, the dog had a play date tryout at our house on New Year's Day.
The meeting went well. The two dogs ran around the back yard together. The young dog was contrite and rolled quickly if the other dog got irritated so they got along. Both had a snack and water inside and the resident dog taught the new dog how to use the dog door.
The new dog was cute and we agreed to keep him if things continued smoothly between the two.
Naming the new dog was the first chore. I nixed my wife's first suggestion of New Year. Another idea was Tiger since his brindle coat is striped. Lately the name Tiger has gotten a bad rap and my wife already has a childhood stuffed toy Tigger so she put the kibosh on that moniker.
My sister named her new dog after her watch — Seiko — so I figured I could name mine after one of my vehicles. Accord wouldn't cut it and Camry was better but not great, Ranger, however, was a winner. After all it's a traditional dog name. I told my wife that when the older dog dies, the new one can become Lone Ranger. She wasn't amused.
So far Ranger has chewed up one TV remote, a half-cord of firewood, a couple pair of my wife's shoes, a phone book, three Christmas ornaments and a roll of Christmas wrap.
I purchased the little varmint a package of the biggest rawhide chews I could find. Still, when I sat down at the computer to write the other night he sat under my office chair and gnawed the wheels.
Ranger thinks the dog door is pretty cool but the ground rules of this canine convenience haven't sunk in yet. He has brought one dead bird inside and somehow managed to pull his dog bed and a pillow outside.
My next move in his training is to rent the movie Marley and Me and point out to him the scenes where Marley is being bad. If that doesn't work I'll tune in a Dog Whisperer marathon and lock him in the office in front of the TV.

Many of La Crosse area residents woke up to some thunder, lightning and lots of rain Friday morning.
The downpour caused flooding in several intersections throughout the city, but this isn't a new issue.
The solution to the problem comes down to money.
While some homeowners are spending thousands to clean up the damage after streets flood, city leaders said they need much more than thousands to prevent it from happening.
Flooded streets wasn't something Deb Johnson wanted to see when she woke up this morning.
"My car was in the street (and) it got into my car," said Johnson. "That's how high it was."
Johnson has lived through flooding on Diagonal Road in La Crosse before.
In 2010, the damage was so bad she said it destroyed her basement.
"It was actually like reliving it all over again because I opened my door and it was all water again," said Johnson.
She said it's time for something to change.
"I would like to see them clean the gutters and do something with the drainage," said Johnson. "(Maybe) try to drain it somewhere else."
"We've been addressing for pick a number, six, eight, 10 years or even better," said Dale Hexom, director of the La Crosse Public Works Department.
Hexom said the city has poured millions of dollars into the sewer system to try to fix the problem, but even so, some of the intersections on Market Street as well as parts of Losey Boulevard and Moore Street are still prone to flooding after a heavy rain.
While he said there is a solution, other things have to come first.
"It's a fixable problem," said Hexom. "It's a multimillion-dollar fixable problem. Our capital improvement budgets, on an annual basis, are for the most part fixed with other priorities, streets for instance, park and recreation improvement, city building and facility improvements. All of our infrastructure is aging."
Hexom said the city recently did some work on King Street to help with street flooding.
He said when more funding becomes available work on the site will continue.
The La Crosse area could see another round of storms Friday night.

Keepin' It Real with Mr. Krause
And for most of us, Friday = Fun day!
But then there are some of us, like my loquacious and oft-curt colleague, Mr. Allen Krause, for whom Friday = yesterday was a bad day. Again.
Let me explain:
Hate me 'cuz I don't know pain like a Lions fan knows pain, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Happy Friday!
P.S. Al loves Matt Millen.
3 Comments
HAHAHA. That was hilarious. Sad but hilarious! Thanks for the laugh/cry.
You could of replaced the Lion logo and jerseys in 1999 and been a D-Rays fan.
Just like fans of teams like the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Pirates, you know the future is bright in the Motor City. Problem is that that young guymight be into hyis Junior years in High School before the Lions look like the terror on Thanksgiving Day.
Funny video. More for the realism that for the laughter…But that is Detroit Rock City right now.

NASCAR and Walmart announced a new relationship
The program, branded "Race Time" is designed to give Walmart customers and race fans not just new NASCAR branded merchandise but also special savings on race tickets available for select races on see.walmart.com/NASCAR. The deal represents a convergence of merchandise and sponsor product in more than 1,500 Walmart stores, reaching the length and breadth of the country.
This partnership represents the first time Walmart has entered into a direct source relationship of this depth with a major sporting league. Walmart serves customers more than 200 million times a week at 8,800 retail outlets in 15 different countries. In fiscal year 2010, Walmart had sales of $405 billion and moving forward this new NASCAR program "Race Time" will only help add to that bottom line.
"We know our customers are NASCAR fans, and we continue to look for ways to provide unforgettable family experiences as well as greater value in every aspect of their lives," said Stephen Quinn, Chief Marketing Officer, Walmart U.S. "We're very pleased to introduce this program to our customers and help them save money while fully experiencing the excitement of NASCAR."
Participating Walmart stores will offer exciting merchandise such as T-shirts, racing flags, and tailgating food and beverages with even more selection of merchandise on see.walmart.com/NASCAR. In addition, Walmart customers and NASCAR fans can save money by purchasing a discount ticket package, one that's available exclusively on the dedicated area of the site. These special deals include four race tickets, four hot dogs, four beverages and one race program for just $99, a savings of approximately $100.*
Paul Brooks, Senior Vice President of NASCAR is just one of many executives excited about how these types of deals can develop ways for fans to add NASCAR into their budget while saving money. "This program will allow us to get even deeper into product development over the coming years," he explained. "With Walmart helping us deliver exciting new products at affordable prices to our fans."
Walmart will also create specialized NASCAR fan events at several stores in every race market throughout the 36-race, 10-month season featuring real stock car race displays, special appearances by professional drivers and racing simulator machines enabling fans to get safely behind the wheel of a 3,400 lb stock car and to feel the sheer power and adrenaline rush that is just part and parcel of the country's most popular form of motorsports.
The partnership came together under the aegis of the NASCAR Team Properties group, which was founded in July of 2010. This new entity, which represents a large majority of the sports' most popular drivers and teams, continues to bring on world class companies to handle licensing categories and retail programs. The formation of this group allows for new and aggressive partnerships that would not have been possible without the consolidation of rights by teams and the sanctioning body. The massive Walmart deal is just one example of the sort of agreement this new group is looking to forge.
The NASCAR Team Properties, which is open to any NASCAR national series race team that chooses to participate, explores merchandising opportunities in four key categories – apparel, collectible die-cast, toys and trackside retail. Team Properties currently consists of 11 teams, as well as NASCAR and represents more than 30 top drivers.
As the partnership continues to grow across the 2011 season and beyond, more and more merchandise and sponsor products will be added to the line creating one of the most comprehensive "one-stop shop" style locations for NASCAR fans anywhere and with special extremely competitive ticket packages also on sale as well, there will be something for every fan in the new "Race Time" program.

No complaints?August 13,2014
Its Saturday afternoon, and before I sit down to complain over what I read in The Times Argus Id better reflect on an issue raised at our meeting yesterday. It dealt with encouragement through team building concepts. Earlier today I had a (little) opportunity to work with a community action team from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters cleaning up refuse from a rivers edge in Barre. Coming down Route 302 at that time was the Toy Run, that traditional conglomerate of motorcyclists from all over the country. An impressive sight and a great cause. For a moment my thoughts centered on the public exposure of such an event airtime on WCAX-TV and possibly front-page coverage in The Times Argus, but how many people know what the CAT teams from GMCR, Ben & Jerrys, Bond Auto and the COAT team from Washington County Mental Health Services do for the community at large without much fanfare? The encouragement I receive is to know that there are more businesses than noted here that are advancing their socio-economic mission statements in addition to their profit margins showing real and practical ways of loving their neighbors. Im also a bit proud to have several of my children and stepchildren directly involved in the process.
Now, back to my complaining. Wait a minute. God always had something to say about complainers, didnt he? As I recall, it wasnt a very pretty picture.

Reading more deeply and talking to several customers while icing my ankle, it seems that most companies deliver modeling to help organizations fully visualize, comprehend, and document business processes in order to close the gap that exists between an organization's lines of business and IT's understanding of the business drivers. Given that a business process is a defined set of activities leading to specific results, modeling provides the added assurance that best practices are well documented and communicated throughout the organization before deployment.
For example, one large insurer is having their business analysts use modeling to define alternative scenarios, differing in resource allocation, branching assumptions at decision points in the flow, and other parameters, and see which alternative results in the lowest cost, fastest average cycle time, lowest percentage of service level agreements violations, or other optimum business measure. In addition, tbecause they leveraged simulation can help reveal bottlenecks in the process, allowing new alternative scenarios to be analyzed -- resulting in significant time and cost savings before they are implemented throughout the SOA.
I believe that BPM with SOA is the keys the kingdom and SOA will help facilitate the next phase of the business process evolution. The evolution is occurring now because of the heightened need for enterprises to compete more effectively by adapting to market changes faster, continuously improving efficiencies and streamlining collaboration across traditionally siloed departments.
Well, at least it may be the key that opens the door that allows you to explore all the benefits to SOA. What are your thoughts? By the way, I have now proceeded in my recovery and hope to be walking with my cane at the NYC SOA summit -- that is sold out!
If you are one of the lucky 400 that got a seat, I'll see you there!
Til then....back to icing the ankle!

Rated 5 out of 5 by costa 580G or 580P Glass lenses or Plastic!? maker sure these are GLASS lenses at this price point! 580G is the model you want. January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ron Best fitting ever This is the best fitting pair of sunglasses I have purchased yet. The frame fits so natural to my face like it was just suppose to be there. I usually wear Oakley's but I wanted to try Costa. Glad I did. The 580 lenses were worth the extra 60 bucks by far. That fuzzy glare I see during sunrise and sunset while driving is almost eliminated. January 12, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by Htoddf Love them. This is my 6th pair of costas I will not wear anything else. April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shotgun Sam Fantastic Glasses for the Water!!!! I originally purchased the Costa Manta Ray 400's (which are fantastic), however after the purchase I had buyers remorse....buyer's remorse for the fact that I didn't spend the extra $80 and get 580's.....so I returned them and I did!!! What a great pair of glasses. I used them in Costa Rica, while ocean fishing. I could see every Sailfish strike...and I could see deeply into the Pacific. These have now become my Water Sport glasses "ONLY". I use an older pair of Oakleys for everyday use. It's hard to resist taking the Costa's out of the hard case and using them daily (which you can certainly do), but I save them for the water. I highly recommend these glasses for fishing and boating. No Guessing!!! You can't go wrong with these!!! March 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by equestriancolt "This is the only product I will buy" I just bought a pair of Costa Del Mar Fathom Sunglasses. I have a pair I bought last summer that have lasted me for over a year now. I am a wrangler on a dude ranch in Colorado I am in the sun all day long and do a lot of rough work like throwing saddles feeding and maintenance. They have been the toughest sunglasses I have ever had. I have had Revo, Oakley, Maui Jims,and Bolle. Costa Del Mar's have been by far the strongest toughest sunglasses I have ever owned. They are the only sunglasses that handle the work I do. The lenses take a major beating before they ever see a scratch. They are the only sunglasses i will buy anymore and will recommend to anyone looking to spend the money on the best sunglasses. August 2, 2011

Saying Goodbye — and Thanks — to Chris Carter
For two years, Chris Carter has been one of the best hitters in the International League. This season, he leads Pawtucket in all of the Triple Crown categories, batting .284 with 15 HR and 59 RBI.

On Saturday night, he'll play his final home game as a member of the Pawtucket Red Sox. In case you haven't heard, Chris is one of the players-to-be-named later in the Billy Wagner trade and will become a member of the New York Mets organization when the season is finished.
I've written about Carter's unsurpassed work ethic and his obsession with getting to the big leagues before, but on the day of his final home game I want to share another side of Chris. It involves a 7-year-old fan named Dylan Guindon.
A few weeks ago, Dylan was distraught. His grandfather Bruce soon learned that the reason was Carter's trade to the Mets.
"He started crying and we were trying to figure out why he was so broken-hearted about it," Bruce said. "His problem was that Chris would never get to realize his dream of playing for the Boston Red Sox. I tried to explain that it's part of the business of baseball, but he was very devastated thinking that if somebody could ruin Chris Carter's dream, then at some point in time, somebody could also ruin his dreams."
Bruce is the official scorer at McCoy Stadium and part of his nightly duties is to go into the clubhouse after each game and give box scores to the coaching staff. The night after discussing the Carter trade with his grandson, he brought Dylan into the clubhouse with him.
"The first player we ran into was Chris Carter and he said, 'Hey buddy, how are you doing?' and rubbed my grandson's head," Bruce explained. "Dylan's eyes got big and he became speechless. Chris shook his hand and introduced himself. As we walked away I noticed my grandson's bottom lip start to quiver so I asked him what was wrong. He said that he had one of Chris Carter's baseball cards and could have had him sign it but forgot to bring it."
So Bruce trekked back up to the press box where he knew where to find one of the PawSox 2009 baseball card sets.
"I know we're not supposed to ask for autographs," Bruce said, "so I went into the clubhouse and explained the situation to Chris and he said, 'Bring him in.' So I brought Dylan in and he spent about 8 minutes talking to him, asking him about school, asking him if he played baseball, and stuff like that. The whole time Dylan's not speaking. Then Chris said, 'Would you like me to sign that card?' because Dylan was holding it the whole time. He said, 'Yes, I would.' So Chris signed it and said, 'I bet you're one of my biggest fans and I've got something special for you.' So he reached up into his locker and got a rookie card, signed it, and gave it to him. The only word that came out of my grandson's mouth was 'Wow!'
The next night I made it a point to find Chris and thank him because it meant so much to Dylan and he said, 'Is he here tonight?' I said, 'He's in the corridor,' and Chris said 'I'll be right out, I've got something for him.' I had no idea what he was going to do but he walked out with a bat and said, 'Hey Dylan, do you remember me?" Again, he becomes speechless – this is from a kid that blabs, you know? And Chris said, 'I've got this bat that I've used – would you like to have it?' And Dylan just shook his head because he still wasn't speaking. Chris signed it: To Dylan, Best Wishes, Chris Carter."
Dylan Guindon has a keepsake that he'll probably cherish forever. And Chris Carter received a gift too.
"Dylan is a good boy – not because he's my grandson – and he wrote a thank you note to Chris," Bruce Guindon said. "He plays T-ball and has his own card. And he signed and put it in the thank you card that he gave to Chris Carter."
The New York Mets will be getting a great hitter when the Billy Wagner trade is finalized. And Dylan Guindon is proof that the Mets are getting a great person too.
* * * * *
If you can't make it out to McCoy Stadium on Saturday night for the home finale, you can catch the game on Cox Cable throughout Rhode Island. I'll join former Red Sox catcher and broadcaster Bob Montgomery for the call, with pre-game coverage starting at 6:00.
* * * * *
Rochester's Stan Cliburn is one of the best managers in the International League and one of my favorite people to talk to, but I'm not so sure about his fashion sense. We were talking on the broadcast a few nights ago about the fur vest that Stan wore to a team function last winter and I promised to post a photo on my blog. Enjoy.
4 Comments
Good luck to CC. I'll always remember the night I got to see his pitch hit against Tampa at Fenway. From six rows behind home plate I was cheering him on like it was the World Series.
On another note…with that vest on, Stan has a striking resemblance to Fred Flintstone.
I, too, nearly cried when I heard that Theo traded Chris. He has been such a joy to watch at bat these two years, a man with a true gift, and no elderly Mets pitcher is worth Chris' bat! Then I realized what a great opportunity it would be for him if he got to play for the Mets in September. I was furious when the Yankees threw a monkey wrench into those plans, because Chris is the one who has been hurt by that political move, even more than the Sox. Sure, it's playing the game politically, but what a low-class move by Cashman et al. My only solace is that we have been able to watch Chris do what he does best these past 2 weeks, and boy has he stepped up. Chris has also been a good sport about it, doing everything he can for the team he was traded by. He is truly one of the good guys.
I will miss him, will watch his career progress, and will wish him all of the best wherever he ends up. Should he ever find his way back to McCoy, I will stand and cheer for him every time he bats. But for Chris' sake, I hope that doesn't happen. He belongs in the majors.
What a great story about Chris Carter! Thank you for sharing it. He will be missed – not only for his playing skills, but because he is a class act.
wow. that is a GREAT story about CC. amazing how far small gestures can go.

The gospel according to MaryDecember 26,2013
One Sunday morning a few weeks ago, Hal Taussig, co-pastor of the Chestnut Hill United Church in Philadelphia, chose one of his favorite bits of scripture to build his sermon upon. Its called The Thanksgiving Prayer, and the portion of it that Taussig chose goes like this:
O light of life we have known you/
O womb of all that grows we have known you/
O womb pregnant with the nature of the Father we have known you/
O never-ending endurance of the Father who gives birth, so we worship your goodness.
If you are thinking that youve never come across such a prayer in the New Testament, youre right, of course. The prayer was part of a treasure trove of early Christian documents, written in Coptic, discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. The Nag Hammadi find was, in turn, among the 75-plus early Christian documents that have been unearthed over the last century and a half. Collectively, these works were once known as The Gnostic Gospels, and they were viewed by many theologians as the work of early Christian heretics, as their interpretation of the life of Jesus was often quite different than the one recounted in the four gospels of the New Testament.
In addition to his responsibilities at the church in Philadelphia, however, Taussig is a professor of biblical literature at Union Theological Seminary in New York. One of his areas of expertise is those early Christian texts that are not part of the New Testament. Along with Karen King of Harvard Divinity School and others, he has championed the idea that the Gnostic Gospels were not necessarily heretical but were rather an example of the diversity of thought and ideas that Christians were grappling with in the first and second centuries. Many of the academics who study these texts no longer use the term gnostic because of its connotation of heresy.
Whats more, Taussig believes that many of these texts are, in their own way, scriptural, as worthy of meditation and prayer as the texts in the 27 books of the New Testament. He often preaches from the early Christian texts. And in February 2012, he and a group of nationally known spiritual leaders and scholars got together in New Orleans to conduct an interesting exercise: to choose texts that might integrate well with the New Testament itself. They chose 10 of them, and the results were published in a book titled A New New Testament. This year, the book landed on my desk, which is how I stumbled across Taussig and his work.
Those early Christian texts can seem quite astonishing. Several of them are told from the point of view of a woman, something that is not true of any of the New Testament. The Gospel of Mary, for instance, tells the story of Mary Magdalene, who is portrayed as one of Jesuss closest associates, as Taussig writes in an introduction to that gospel, and has been given teachings from Jesus that she passes on to his male disciples. A second book that is written mostly in the female voice is The Thunder: Perfect Mind. A poetic work, what is particularly amazing about it is that the female voice is that of the deity Herself.
Another book, The Gospel of Thomas, has no narrative at all; it is, instead, a collection of 114 of Jesus sayings, some of which are familiar and many of which are not. In A New New Testament, Taussig and the other spiritual leaders decided to place it in front of the four traditional gospels because, as Taussig writes, it is a near perfect example of how these additional books offer both ... strong connections to the traditional New Testament and eye-popping new content not previously known.
One point Taussig and other academics make is that we really have no idea why certain books are in The New Testament and others are not. The making of the New Testament took 500 years, Taussig told me, who also notes that we have no idea, in fact, who wrote many of the books that make up the New Testament or the early Christian texts. What is almost surely true is that they were not written by Luke or Mark or Mary Magdalene, for that matter. Even the earliest of them was written decades, if not centuries, after Jesus life. The matter of heresy came centuries later as well.
In his sermon about The Thanksgiving Prayer, Taussig used it to offer a meditation on the difficulties of both societal and personal growth. There is a womb pregnant with divinity itself, he said as he neared the end of his sermon, making us ready for taking that next step forward, in the relationship that is hurting, the psyche that doesnt know what to do, and the society that needs help.
Scripture indeed.

A Manchin-Huntsman ticket?
The question now is whether Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is thinking along the same lines as an Associated Press reporter in New York City.
Earlier this month, Manchin and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a Republican, spoke during an event at a hotel in the Big Apple. Manchin and Huntsman "heaped praise on each other in an appearance that almost looked like the makings of a presidential ticket," wrote the AP reporter.
Well, now. There's a thought.
It's one Manchin has laughed off, at least in public, in the past. He just wants to continue serving his beloved state, the former governor insists.
But that could be accomplished quite well from the Oval Office.
While Manchin and Huntsman were governors, they worked well together despite being of different political parties. That friendship may have helped lead to the No Labels movement they unveiled in New York. They were joined by more than 1,000 people, including some members of Congress, governors and mayors.
The idea behind No Labels is to get party affiliations out of the way of doing the right thing for the American people. Too often, Manchin and Huntsman agree, disputes in Washington occur simply because leaders of one of the two major parties dig in their heels on ideology without being willing to compromise. No Labels is sort of a political version of the late Rodney King's "Why can't we all just get along?"
Manchin's political pragmatism has served him well among Mountain State residents, much as the late Sen. Robert Byrd's conservative Democrat policy got him re-elected term after term.
It's true some Democrat leaders don't like Manchin because they don't consider him liberal enough. Some Republicans think he's not conservative enough. But Mountain State voters are sold on him, and that's all that matters.
What about Manchin as a candidate for president? That might be a tough sell for Democrat Party leaders who, because of the power wielded by President Barack Obama, tend to be more liberal these days.
But in politics, the perception of a candidate's ability to win is everything. Consider how Manchin might do in early indicator states such as New Hampshire and Iowa. My guess is he'd be very popular among voters.
How about potential campaign donors? In a primary, some special interest group leaders would shun Manchin. But those involved with conservative causes would embrace him, as would many business people.
Why business people? Because they understand the bottom line. While he was governor, Manchin did an excellent job of working with legislators to pay down the state's unfunded liabilities and, in a few cases, reduce taxes.
If it can be done in one of the nation's poorer states, why not in Washington?
There's still plenty of time for Manchin to explore the idea before deciding for or against running for president. Reception of his No Labels campaign among both voters and Democrat and Republican leaders will tell him a lot. My guess is his ideas – members of Congress should work at the Capitol five days a week, deficit spending has to be curbed, Americans should be risking their lives in the military only in well-defined missions, etc. – will sell very well in many regions of the country.
How will he do in the big cities, which decide national elections? He'll have to determine that, too. Any questions about why he and Huntsman picked New York City to unveil No Labels?
Both Byrd and our other current senator, Democrat Jay Rockefeller, considered throwing their hats in the presidential ring in the past. Both decided against it. Why should Manchin break with the pattern?
Because in four years, Obama's brand of expensive socialism will be seen by many voters as a failure for them personally. A charismatic Manchin, with a record of fiscal discipline, could be appealing in 2016.

So, my husband, in an unstable frame of mind, took my son to his moms house for two days. I was not legally able to take him back, since that is his father, and technically he was doing nothing illegal. That is an issue in itself, and I am taking care of it, trust me.
Anyway, neither DH nor my MIL bathed my son or brushed his teeth the two days he was gone. Not to mention that my son still breastfeeds, not only at night, but during the day as well. I don't pump, so he just randomly went two days without breastmilk. He is 20 months old.
My question is, my son got home last night, and his pee is darker and has a bit of an odor. I know DH and MIL were giving him undiluted juice to replace breastmilk. He never, ever drinks undiluted juice. Could this be why his pee is darker? I am keeping an eye on it, and will be taking him to the doctor in the morning if his pee doesn't clear up, now that he's back to nursing and WATER to drink primarily.

More about the crisis and how to help: state.gov/haitiquakeAbout the Author: Cheryl Mills serves as the Counselor and Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Earlier today, a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 struck Haiti. Reports are still coming in, but it appears that many schools, hospitals and other buildings have collapsed, adding more suffering to an already impoverished nation, the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
Reports continue to pour in from all over and we are extending all our thoughts and prayers to those who have been affected.
As Secretary Clinton said earlier, the U.S. government will offer assistance to Haiti and others in the region in the form of civilian and military disaster relief and humanitarian assistance.
For those interested in helping immediately, simply text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.
Or you can go online to organizations like the Red Cross and Mercy Corps to make a contribution to the disaster relief efforts.
The State Department Operations Center has set up the following number for Americans seeking information about family members in Haiti: 1-888-407-4747. You may email inquiries to: firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll provide more details and opportunities to help as we learn more. To stay up-to-date, follow us on state.gov.

I wish that my message could reach President Obama, yet I doubt it will.
For years, I followed the misery of what has happened to Haiti, our poorest neighbor.
I guess that,as I have been for years, puzzled; as to why the United States cannot do more for this island nation.
To the degree that I can, I understand it's awful history, the corruption that goes on, and on.
Yet, these are people who live there, and shouldn't we be doing more?
For all of the power that humans can do, we seem to just let these people suffer, and suffer unimaginable horrors.
I often wonder, if we should just annex them to the U.S. and pore in money, management, and a totally agressive rebuilding campaign, given our ability to rebuild, almost anything, or anyplace.
I live in South Florida, which has a huge Haitian community, and they are some of the nicest, thoughful, and loving people that I have ever met.
I am doing my part to contribute money, and yes; prayers. I am also thinking of going there to contribute my time to help a nation that is so desperately poor, and deserves better.
Speak out, Mr. President; and speak loud. Tell us, that we still have enough decency to help the poorest of the poor. If we fail at this, we better never, ever look in the mirror again. Because, we will be looking at a very thoughtless person, who could have done so much more; yet we did not.
Thanks for accepting my comments.
"Rock on", Mr. Obama. Be a good and kind President.
Thank you, with respect.

For the past couple of weeks I have been using a new kind of bass saxophone stand. It was invented by Andreas Kaling. Andreas is a member of the bass saxophone quartet Deep Schrott, from Germany. Andreas designed this stand so that it could be used as a playing stand while sitting or standing. The stand even allows for transverse angles which many bass players find comfortable.
I have written a series of 3 articles about the stand for my blog that you might find interesting. Two of the articles are photo essays, and 1 contains a video of Deep Schrott performing with the stands.
This is a really great new product, and one that bass players might really benefit from. My bass has never felt as natural for me to play, without me having to wear it around my neck or on a harness. It has fundamentally changed the way I interact with my horn. It is really quite amazing.
