The above is what I have shared with mvp and others. Is this wrong or an attempt to mislead others or claim prophethood? And how was my commentary regarding you and LJ theology? It was a challenge to your admittedly-innocent exploitation of this Master. My goal is to help you see this, so that you both try to understand Him, rather than use him.
Is insulting one another, being mean-spirited and using Jesus to argue for or against science a Christ-like effort? Or are you two shallow in your knowledge of him and using his message to justify yourselves and your existing, acquired beliefs, forsaking that which does not apply to your acquired knowledge?
These are fair questions that I have brought up, for your sakes and not to hurt you or anyone else. But, instead of addressing them, you see them as an attack, cause for fighting and not cause for thinking about your connection to God or science and, depending on whether or not I made a mistake, correcting me if I was wrong or misunderstood you.
It was spoken thusly:
Your yoke does not seem easy or meek and lowly, fellas. It seems heavy and haughty, which is the fault of those who have misled you. I urge you to take a yoke like that of Jesus upon yourselves, recognize it by its ease, fairness, love and peace.
- "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." -Jesus, Matthew 11:30
I am not interested in fighting your denomination, or that of atheists, K4L. I am simply suggesting that you practice your individual faiths in a way that lets you see more than just what you think is "for" or "against" you [in these wise and sacred words]: which is self-justification, self-righteousness.
And Jesus loves all, and his love and grace judged men with fairness, understanding and compassion. Even the apostles did not know Jesus' methods, for he constantly corrected them for their harshness.

Buy bank-owned properties at fire-sale prices! Banks and lending institutions today own more than one million foreclosed properties, more are in the foreclosure pipeline. Banks desperately want to get these properties off their balance sheets, but there aren't enough buyers. The result is a soft real estate market with prices investors and homeowners may not see again in their lifetime.
In recent years many bargain-hunting investors and homebuyers made the mistake of trying to get foreclosure prices via short sales and pre-foreclosure - before the bank reclaimed the property. They've been burned by endless delays and uncertainty of the messy foreclosure process. With bank-owned properties, that's over. You deal directly with a motivated sellerthe bankand get the foreclosure price without the hassles and complexity of a short sale or pre-foreclosure.

"it's good and read it"
I Like the book and the good about it that the author not asking to sign up in any services. The book simple go over the foreclosure techniques and how you could deal with the lender. But still I need more details. Also, the book gives good internet references to start your own search
"Very informative!"
I loved this book. It provided step by step details not like other books that just give general information. If you want to become an REO investor this book is a must read.
"No regrets"
This one's a keeper. This. is a wholesale book that delivers nicely, it also has some non wholesaling bonuses, so don't think twice about this one
"Skip this book"
The title does not accurately reflect the contents of the book. The book contains some useful information but is often very vague.
"Must have"
Great book with most details and infos. All investors should get this book and keep .Also great story .Thanks Jeff

By Eric Butler, PNT Correspondent
Trying to control his horse after missing his target in the steer breakaway roping, Payson Moore knew he had trouble when the rope got near the horses feet.
That's because his horse had previously had a similar incident — but with barbed wire instead.
But Moore did get the animal under wraps and, after the event, the 11-year-old talked about it with his grandfather on Wednesday morning.
It was just another day of rodeo competition as the second day of the High Plains Junior Rodeo Association Finals took place at the Mounted Patrol Arena in Clovis — except for one thing. This was the day that Payson was told that his grandpa, Keith Moore, was one of the co-founders for the rodeo.
"That's cool," Payson Moore said.
Keith Moore and Bob Bradley were in the stands to watch their grandsons compete in the HPJRA Finals. Both were among a group of five Clovis men — which also included Dan Hardisty, Dwayne Ridley and Johnny Forest — who created the local rodeo circuit in the mid-1970s.
Bradley and Moore agreed that things certainly had changed from the days when they decided to stage rodeos for their kids.
"There were five of us. One weekend, we traveled about a thousand miles. When we got back, we decided we had to do something different," Keith Moore remembered.
That was 1974 and the result was the High Plains Junior Rodeo Association. The original design of the association was to stage rodeos within a 100-mile radius of Clovis.
The men were in their 30s and were in the habit of shuttling their kids to rodeo events throughout the Southwest. Soon, they would be traveling to locations a little closer but with quite a few added responsibilities.
"We'd come to the towns, and they'd give a little help with the chutes, but we actually put them on ourselves," said Bradley, whose grandson Wesley Wright is in the same age division (9-through-12) as Payson Moore.
"My wife kept the books. Bob's wife and Dwayne's wife did the timing. Bob did the announcing," said Moore, who had another son, Hayden Moore, competing in the 13-15 division. "I did all the racing events, Dwayne did the roping events, Dan had the books and Johnny worked the chutes."
The Clovis men also provided the stock animals for the contestants to ride, rope and tie down.
"I can't believe this thing's grown like it has. It's amazing. We never dreamed it would be this big. In fact, we never wanted it this big," Bradley said. "We limited it to a hundred runs a night and we had two nights to begin with. But it just got to the point where we just couldn't hold it (the amount of entries) down."
No longer does Moore have to worry about supplying everything needed for what amounted to a large family rodeo. He still works with his grandsons on rodeo skills at his own property, however.
Does Keith Moore enjoy his new role? "Oh yeah. We get to holler at them a lot," he said. "They all work good."

The Claw
I have some very sad news to report. On Sunday July 19, 2009, Cla "The Claw" Meredith was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for infielder Oscar Salazar.
So, a pitcher was traded, you're thinking. So what? Well, the implications of this trade are very sad for the team and me personally. Let's start with the team.
The Padres got Cla in a trade in 2006 from the Red Sox. Cla and Josh Bard came over to San Diego for Doug Mirabelli.
Cla made an immediate impact in 2006 after arriving. His ERA was 1.07 in 50.2 innings with the Padres.
2007 was definitely his best season with the Padres. He was an anchor in the Padres bullpen all year.
Cla never achieved the same success he had in 2007. He was not that great in 2008. During the 2009 Spring Training, he showed signs of being the pitcher he was in 2007. Maybe his marriage in the offseason and the birth of his daughter had something to do with that. But we didn't see much of Cla this season. He only pitched in 35 games with an ERA of 4.17.
And so, he was traded on Sunday for that Salazar dude. The Padres probably brought in Salazar since Edgar Gonzalez went on the DL on Monday.
Now, the personal side. When my sister found out that the Padres had traded Cla (I was the one who had to tell her the bad news), she slammed the door in my face. She was very upset, since Cla was her favorite player. Trading players is a part of the game, but that's what's turned my sister away from the Padres.
Marcus Giles used to be her favorite player, and when the Padres let him walk after the 2007 season, she walked away with him. Now, she totally hates the Padres. And that's a big bummer for me, though I'm not too big on the Padres right now either. I thought she was starting to come back, but it wasn't meant to be.
And so, that is the sad, sad tale of the trade of Cla Meredith. If you're wondering why I am not writing about the Padres, it's because they lost last night and are now on a three-game losing streak with no signs of breaking out of it. This team cannot win, but worst of all, they cannot act like a team. They can't even pretend. And I can't support a team like that.
By the way, the photo above was taken by my sister on Saturday night. She's going to treasure that one forever🙂
Poor Cla. Hope you do well in Baltimore!!
Oh, and Jordin Sparks' new CD is incredible.
The Padres are playing again tonight, but guess who's not going to be listening…
And guess who's going to get swept…
I'm going on vacation next week.

Oh, the Claw. I became a huge fan when I saw him pitch against the Astros and they could not figure out his strange delivery.
I'm sorry y'all have had such a hard time with trading players. I know how that is. The Astros now have three (I believe) players left from 2005, and Luke Scott, my favorite, was traded before the 2008 season. He, coincidentally, is now an Oriole. Maybe we'll all have to get together and wear orange one day.

I feel your pain. Cla was a big part of the Sox before being traded. I thought at the time it would be good for him to pitch for the Padres. As for your sister, I hope she gets though it. My sister did the same thing after Coco got traded. Now, she's all over Jacoby Ellsbury. As for the losing streak, yeah, since the break the Sox are 1-4. Clay Buchholz is their only hope at this point before I throw a fit!! Not literally.
On the up side, you have a vacation coming! That should make you feel better! It's a bummer when trades happen to your favorite player. Then you have the whole decision on cheering for his new team, or staying with the old one, and just keeping tabs on him. I'll be up the creek too if the Rays ever trade Kazmir or Longoria. I'd probably be like your sister for awhile. Hopefully, the doors in your house are strong.
This is the perfect time to blame our lame front office again. We loved Cla as a Padre and he has been a big help for this team. I just want to thank him and wish him luck in Baltimore. This trade is just as bad as losing Scott Hairston AND Jody Gerut this season. Well, Tony is doing great so that's a good sign.
OK, So you want to leave the Padres' fanhood again. Some people don't realize that the Padres are in a rebuilding mode. The Padres had NO NEED whatsoever for Cla, and they needed a bench player that could HIT. They had to get rid of somebody to get Salazar. Just think, Cla can get into a lot more games in Baltimore than in San Diego.
Aw, I know how it feels to get attached to a player only to have him traded away. I'm sorry. http://tribechick.mlblogs.com/ -TC
Sorry. I know how you are feeling about your Padres. Last year the Dodgers were in a horrible slump, a long losing streak. They were many games under .500. Then things changed.
I remember when they traded my all time favorite player Shawn Green to Arizona. He had hit 4 homeruns in one game. He was then traded to the Mets and now is retired. I followed him until he retired. I have many of his baseball cards, most autographed jersey and bat. I was very angry at the Dodger Organization. I now know that baseball is a business. Feelings are not part of the trading process. It doesn't matter if the player is a fan favorite. The Dodgers traded Mike Piazza and Paul LoDuca, both huge favorties.
Think of the positive. You are going on vacation. Take a lot of pictures and post them here on your blog so we know you are doing ok.
II will still root for your Padres while you are gone.
Enjoy your vacation! It is tough when your favorite players get traded. 5 years ago when we traded Nomar – my youngest son for his 7th birthday had finally got a replica Nomar game jersey and not 2 months later, he was traded. When Nomar was in town a few weeks ago, he actually talked about his Nomar shirt.
I'm so sad for you. And sad for your sis! I know exactly what you guys are going through, though. The Rays were horrible and then they would trade every guy who got good. Fred McGriff. Gone. Aubrey Huff. Gone. Victor Zambrano. Gone. But each trade helped to get the Rays to the World Series, so I forgive the Rays for getting rid of all my fave players.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Privacy
A Joint Statement from Access Now, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation
Apple is engaged in a high-profile battle against a court order demanding it write, sign, and deploy custom computer code to defeat the security on an iPhone. As civil liberties groups committed to the freedom of thought that underpins a democratic society, this fight is our fight. It is the fight of every person who believes in a future where technology does not come at the cost of privacy or individual security and where there are reasonable safeguards on government power.
The government recently declassified a secret letter, written in 2002 laying out the executive branch's initial legal justifications for the vast expansion of electronic surveillance after September 11, 2001. Like many others, it was written by former DOJ Office of Legal Counsel attorney John Yoo, and it was directed to the then-presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
The letter wasn't a filing with the FISC: instead, in Yoo's view, it was more of a "heads up"—in the words of the letter, a gesture of goodwill in the interest of "comity" between co-equal branches of government.
The heads up he was giving? The fact that, for over a year prior to this letter, the executive branch had been flagrantly violating federal surveillance laws.
In Saturday's edition of the New York Times, Matt Apuzzo reports that the Department of Justice is locked in a "prolonged standoff" with WhatsApp. The government is frustrated by its lack of real-time access to messages protected by the company's end-to-end encryption. The story may represent a disturbing preview of the next front in the FBI's war against encryption.
If you are a company that collects customer data, it's your job to protect it. Your customers expect it. You can't dodge that responsibility by altering your terms and conditions, especially when finding them is equivalent to playing "Where's Waldo?" on your website.
This is not only outrageous, but in EFF's view, also not legally enforceable.
VTech, Hong Kong-based maker of many children's digital toys, apparently doesn't see things this way.
At 9:04am GMT today, the Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority issued its millionth certificate. This is an amazing success, coming only 3 months and 5 days since a beta version of the service became publicly available. We're very excited to be building a more secure and fully encrypted future for the World Wide Web.

Melody A. WilsonDecember 12,2013
Melody A. Wilson
Melody A. Wilson
NORTHFIELD Melody A. (Brown) Wilson, 57, died unexpectedly in the early morning hours of Thanksgiving, Nov. 28, 2013, at her home in Northfield, Vt.
She was born Sept. 21, 1956, at Otis Air Force Base, Cape Cod, Mass., the daughter of Robert and Barbara (Mullen) Brown.
She graduated from Bellows Free Academy in St. Albans, Vt., in 1974.
She married James Jim Wilson in Northfield, Vt., on Dec. 17, 1999.
Melody spent her childhood as an Air Force brat, traveling with her family until moving to Vermont in her senior year of high school.
Her most cherished times in childhood were her teenage years spent at Loring Air Force Base in Maine, where she made so many dear and lifelong friends. Keep the faith ...
Melody worked for more than 20 years in administration at the College of Science and Mathematics of Norwich University in Northfield, Vt. She had so many fond memories of her time there with students, professors and staff, who became her friends and supporters.
Melody was an avid reader, talented writer, animal and nature lover, and music aficionado. She was unconventional, loyal, generous, liberal, free-spirited, and had a quirky Irish wit. She adored her pets, felt a kinship with wildlife, amassed a large library of books and music, and took every opportunity to see the world. Most of all, Melody was a collector of people. She had the rare ability to travel in any circle, converse on any level, and refrain from ever passing judgment. Therefore, she was one of the lucky few who could genuinely call a widely diverse group of people her friends.
In addition to her husband, Jim, she is survived by her sister, Tammy Brown, and husband John Poulin, of Georgia, Vt.; niece Abigail Ledoux, of Boston; brother-in-law Charles Chuck Wilson and wife Gidget, of Quincy, Mass.; stepson Corey Wilson, of Burlington, Vt.; former husbands Anthony Tony Bean, of Roxbury, Vt., and Rocky Preston, of St. Albans, Vt.; aunt Joyce Comings, of St. Albans; several cousins, friends and soulmate Mark Mars, of New York City.
She was predeceased by both her parents; sister-in-law Annmarie Wilson; several aunts, uncles and close friends; and in 2010 by her beloved dog, Timmy.
Special thanks to her sister-like friend, Linda Gray, for her time, energy and love, and to respiratory therapist Steve Cothalis for his calm and dedication to Melody.
A memorial service for friends and family will be held at White Memorial Chapel on the campus of Norwich University in Northfield on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013, at noon. Casual attire requested.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Melodys memory to an animal charity of your choice.

Locks of Love event planned
BURGETTSTOWN, Pa. – Heaven hair salon will hold its eighth-annual Locks of Love fundraising event, beginning at 11 a.m. March 23 at the Pepsi-Cola Roadhouse on state Route 18.
The event will include hair-cutting, massage therapy, a buffet, live musical entertainment, a cash bar, a 50/50 drawing and Chinese auction. The buffet will be available from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and a headline act to be determined will take the stage at 8 p.m. Food will be available for purchase from the Roadhouse following the closure of the buffet.
Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides wigs to children who have lost their own hair because of chronic illness. This local event is hosted by heaven co-owners and mother-daughter team JoAnn Alexy and April Alexy.
"It just feels like the right thing to do," said JoAnn Alexy.
Those donating ponytails of 10 inches or longer will receive a free hair cut. The only requirements for donating hair is it must not be bleached. Grey hair is accepted, and men, women and children are welcome to donate. Those planning to have their hair cut at the event are asked to call and make an appointment prior to the event to avoid long waits and ensure there are an adequate number of stylists available throughout the day. Stylists will be available from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and seven stylists have agreed to donate their services during the event.
Five massage therapists will be available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
All those who are not donating a ponytail pay a $10 cover charge, which includes either a hair cut or a back massage, the buffet and entertainment. The proceeds from the cover charge will be donated to Locks of Love. Those who intend to have their hair cut, but are not donating a ponytail, also are asked to make an appointment prior to the event.
The event will be child-friendly, with Rainbow the Clown entertaining from noon to 4 p.m. and the Easter Bunny available for pictures during that same period. Those wanting pictures are welcome to bring their own cameras. A special, child-friendly buffet will be available, and there will be a drawing for prizes exclusively for children.
"There will be a special buffet geared toward kids," said April Alexy.
Those children 8 and under arriving at the event between noon and 4 p.m. will have a special 50 percent off cover charge of $5.
The event also has a large Chinese auction, with more than 50 prizes being donated last year, including Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins tickets. The Alexys are accepting prize donations at the salon.
"We always get new (donors) every year," said April Alexy. "We love getting new people. We more than welcome any donation."
A gift certificate for LeMont Restaurant on Mount Washington has already been donated for the auction, and past prizes have included over-night hotel stays and gift certificates for local businesses.
The event continues to get larger each year, having moved to the Roadhouse, its largest venue yet, two years ago. Last year, the event raised $4,800 and garnered 37 ponytails, the longest of which was 22-inches long. There is a special gift basket for the person donating the longest ponytail. Over the past seven years, the event has raised a total of $12,800 and helped residents donate 140 ponytails. April Alexy said a wig costs around $3,500 to make or requires between six and 10 ponytails, meaning the event has helped in the distribution of at least 18 wigs.
JoAnn Alexy said she would like to have someone who has benefited through the Locks of Love program to speak at the event and talk about how the organization impacted their lives.
"I think to have someone talk about it would be that much more meaningful," she said.
Those who have had their hair cut elsewhere, but would like to donate it to Locks of Love, can drop off the bagged ponytail or braid at the salon during regular business hours.
Locks of Love organized as a nonprofit organization in 1997 under the direction of Madonna Coffman, a retired nurse who developed alopecia in her 20s after receiving a hepatitis vaccination. She was able to recover, but 15 years later, her 4-year-old daughter also developed alopecia and lost her hair. It was at this time Coffman directed all her volunteer efforts toward Locks of Love. The organization has recipients in all 50 states and Canada.
To make an appointment for the event, make a donation toward the Chinese auction or for information, call the salon at (724) 947-7866.

Red Sox officially sign Mike Napoli for 1 yearthe associated press | January 23,2013BOSTON Mike Napoli has signed a one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox after a multiyear deal fell through because of health concerns.
The $5 million contract signed Tuesday includes possible bonuses that could raise its total value to $13 million. Napoli, a catcher-first baseman, originally agreed to a $39 million, three-year contract at last months winter meetings, subject to a successful physical. But that wasnt finalized after the team became concerned about the condition of his hip. Napoli spent the past two seasons with the Texas Rangers after playing his first five for the Los Angeles Angels. He batted .227 last year with 24 homers and 56 RBIs and was chosen for his first All-Star game.
The Red Sox also designated right-hander Chris Carpenter for assignment.
Mariners to induct Griffey into team
Hall of Fame
SEATTLE Ken Griffey Jr. will be inducted into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame as its seventh member.
The Mariners announced the induction Tuesday. Griffeys ceremony will take place Aug. 10 before the Mariners face the Milwaukee Brewers.
Griffey spent 13 of his 22 seasons in the majors with the Mariners. He was drafted by Seattle in 1987, made his debut at the major league level two years later and went on to have one of the finest careers in baseball history.
Griffey finished with 630 home runs sixth all-time and was a 13-time All-Star and the 1997 American League MVP.
After time in Cincinnati and Chicago, Griffey returned to Seattle in 2009-10, his final game coming on June, 2, 2010.
DeRosa signs 1-year deal
Mark DeRosa has agreed to a $775,000, one-year contract with Toronto, giving the Blue Jays more infield and outfield depth as they try for their first playoff berth since 1993.
DeRosa gets a $750,000 salary this year under Tuesdays deal, and the Blue Jays have a $750,000 option for 2014 with a $25,000 buyout.
The 37-year-old hit .188 with five doubles and six RBIs in 48 games last season for the Washington Nationals, playing all four infield positions and both corner outfield spots.
He has a .270 average with 93 homers and 458 RBIs in 15 seasons with Atlanta (1988-04), Texas (2005-06), the Chicago Cubs (2007-08), Cleveland (2009), St. Louis (2009), San Francisco (2010-11) and Washington.

Our librarians
Anyone who has ever encountered a computer glitch knows it can be a jungle out there, as far as getting competent, affordable, technical support is concerned. That is why I continue to praise Patrick McCullough and Cindy Menges of the Western Public Computer Center to the sky. Funded by the Federal Stimulus Program for its first two years, the center has since become an integral part of the Western Sullivan Public Library, with branches in Jeffersonville, Narrowsburg, and Callicoon. But folks from elsewhere should also be aware that ultra-patient, ultra-knowledgeable Patrick and Cindy are but a drive or phone call away, five afternoons a week. I, for one, cannot thank the duo enough for such kind, expert assistance.
Agriculturally speaking
Ag remaining the answer to socioeconomic prosperity in our area, New York State, and across the U.S. as a whole, I have been overjoyed to read about the new curd plant headed to Sullivan County. Hope being one of the best medicines known to man, the articles about the new plant alone have probably boosted the spirits of our hard-working, price-squeezed dairy farmers and their families. But what a huge blessing it will be for them and the Sullivan economy in general, when the new curd business actually begins processing local milk to make its delectable products.
Outside Sullivan County, leave it to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg when it comes to shaking things up. For instance, I have been pleased by his plan to do away with polystyrene foam trays, cups, etc. used by eating establishments, since such items do indeed remain in landfills or elsewhere in the environment forever. My idea, however, is that the mayor or federal government hold two competitions, one for designing an affordable, bio-degradable alternative to polystyrene, the other for developing a process whereby polystyrene foam is degraded into "eco-friendly" substances.
Baseball (love those Yanks)
On the baseball diamond, the greatest relief pitcher in history, Mariano "Mo" Rivera, may well have done himself and the New York Yankees a disservice by announcing his retirement weeks before the start of the regular season. What was Rivera's rush? Could he not have waited until the post-season? No matter how great an athlete and closer Rivera has been, such an early March proclamation could negatively impact his own competitiveness and pitching prowess, not to mention teammate performance and overall club morale. As a Yankee fan, I certainly hope I am "off-base" about all of this, but only the months ahead will tell.

Moving upJuly 24,2013
For generations young people from Vermont and other rural areas have migrated to the cities to seek their fortunes. Nowadays its no different.
The towns they leave behind may be pleasant, prosperous, lovely places, but for significant social mobility people often go elsewhere.
The findings of a new study of social mobility in the United States were the topic of a story in The New York Times on Monday. The study was described as one of the most detailed and thorough examinations of social mobility ever conducted.
A map accompanying the story showed that in most of Vermont slightly fewer than 10 percent of the children from the bottom fifth of the population whose household incomes were less than $25,000 were likely to make it into the top fifth making $70,000 by the age of 30 or $100,000 by age 45. Southern Vermont had a slightly poorer percentage the shading on the map suggesting it was closer to 5 percent.
The study found wide disparities in social mobility among regions of the country. One of the worst areas was Atlanta, where about 4 percent of the lowest fifth were likely to rise to the top fifth. Regions in the South and Midwest fared poorly, including Charlotte, Raleigh, Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.
The regions showing the greatest opportunity included many of the metropolitan areas on both coasts, such as San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and northern New Jersey. There were some inland regions where advancement was more likely, such as Salt Lake City, Pittsburgh and Minneapolis.
Some of the greatest opportunity is available in parts of the Midwest and the Plains states, particularly North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, where the energy boom has brought rapid economic growth.
The authors of the study suggest that geography plays a significant role in ones economic prospects. Vast low-income neighborhoods around Atlanta trap people in low-paying jobs even though the larger Atlanta area is relatively well off. But if young Atlantans move to Boston or New York, their opportunities improve. It is the sort of migration that has shaped the nation forever.
The map showing degrees of social mobility suggests a split between the familiar red-blue political maps, with red, Republican-dominated regions of the South plagued by limited social mobility. But there are important exceptions, such as conservative Midwestern regions that are booming.
There are also racial components to the studys findings. The South, which historically has consigned African-Americans to a secondary status, shows that lack of social mobility among residents is one of the consequences. But the authors findings show that whites in the South are hurt by lack of social mobility just as blacks are.
The study suggests that regions willing to spend on social betterment by supporting schools and important social services offer better opportunity for economic advancement than regions that neglect education and other services. Opportunity abounds in regions that recognize that good schools matter.
The study shows that those who are born into the top fifth are far more likely to remain there than those in the bottom are likely to arrive there. In New York 36 percent of the top fifth are likely to remain. Ten percent of the bottom fifth are likely to rise to the top fifth.
Vermont and New Hampshire fare well among rural regions, though not nearly as well as the energy-rich states of the Plains. People can come to Vermont and still advance, as they have since the influx of outsiders began in earnest in the 1960s. But young Vermonters also understand that significant opportunities exist in the nearby metropolitan areas, as well as the high-tech centers of the West Coast.
Vermont political leaders have sought to foster opportunity that will entice young Vermonters to remain. Its worthwhile doing so, particularly since those opportunities will also entice enterprising outsiders to come here and improve the prospects for future generations.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

So I ordered an Old 'boo
Just ordered a 9' ,3/2, 5/6wt Horricks- Ibbotson Vernley Registered refinished 'boo rod. It'll be used out in Colorado, thats why I went longer and heavier. Anyone have a clue as to what type of line I should throw on it and if an orvis BBS II would work as a reel.
Talk to Daniel at LRO and get Walter Babbs information. He is one of the best I can think of on knowledge of cane rods. Another well educated person on cane is GMREEVES who is a builder and very talented young man who is on this board. GMREEVES goes to the nth degree on his work and his knowledge even though he is still a young and newer builder. I have been to both mens shops and talked extensively with each. Either of these men could probably give you some very sound advise on this subject.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
Thanks for the kudos Flyred! As far as what line to throw on your new acquisition, I would say take it to a local fly shop that has several lines rigged for demo rods and cast them. I'm not familiar with the rod but it won't hurt to cast as many different lines as you can on it. I have cast just about every type of modern line on my cane rods and they all seem to have there place. I have cast DT, WF, SA GPX, SA XPS, Several different Rio's, some Teeny Sink Tips, Cortlands, and Wulff Triangle tapers. One thing to consider is the size of the guides. If they are really small, as most older rods were built for casting silk lines, you may need to go with a smaller diameter line. Depending on the year your rod was made, this could be a factor. I did some quick research and it looks like the Vernley was from between the 30's and 50's and the first plastic lines started showing up in the 50's. Enjoy the rod and post pictures of your fish with it for all of us cane junkies.
Probably looking at getting a Hardy Cascapedia or Bougle for a reel. In the diameters for 5/6/7 weight lines they weigh in at 5 to 6 oz.
The description of my rod says it's impregnated; whats that mean?
Also I've seen sveral reels, on dare I say it, E-bay. Am I wasting my time looking there? Several Hardy's and other neat looking reels under $200.00. Getting pretty confused, as modern reels for modern rods, are listed by line weight, not diameter or model number.
Last edited by bones; 02-28-2010 at 11:14 AM..
If you're going to swing a classic Boo rod then you need to spool it up with some Silk DT fly line. There is a fellow that sells hand woven silk dt lines on EBAY.
My humble Opinion.
IT GOT HERE TODAY!! Pretty rod to look at, stickers are all there and the bag is original and in mint condition. Yes, as everyone has told me, it weighs a ton but is very supple in action (I'd rate it at a true medium) just a little faster than my Hardy glass. Lawn cast it with a WF6F and a DT5S throws each equally well. Both lines are Cortland 444. gmreeves said, the guides may be small, very true of the stripper but the rest seem just slightly smaller than usual. Them old timers must ahve spent a lot on lines, seems as if a guide this tight would fray something like silk.
Gonna take an anchor to balance it!
Very cool. Once you get an older reel (not space age technologh) that rod will balance out a littel better and not feel so heavy in the hand. If you wanted to go on the chearper side and still get a vintage reel to go with that rod, you could look at the Phlueger Medalists from that time frame. That is most likely what was used on that rod since it wasn't a high end rod of the day. I doubt many anlgers back then were fishing Hardy reels.I'm no reel expert but most of the produciton rods were probably paired with reels made by Ocean City and that type reel with the Medalist as being the more expensive. There are definately more expensive vintage reels out there like the Dingley's, Hardy's, J.W. Youngs, etc but they would have been on the higher dollar cane rods of the day. As far as silk lines are concerned, they are supposed to last a lifetime if they are treated well. You can still find them on old reels and restore them to almost new conditions. That's another project for you right there. The are quite a bit smaller than today's plastic lines so they will shoot through those smaller guides but I think you will be fine with the modern lines. If you are concerned about it, you could buy the Corland Sylk lines which are smaller in diameter and supposed to be closer to silk lines. I have heard mixed reviews about them though. All that said, lets see some pictures so us cane nuts can drool!
Here she is
Pristine bag
Nice. It looks like it is in great condition.
That is a nice rod. I'm intrigued by the multi-color wrappings. Never seen that before.

Barry Heim, director of the Pike County Humane Society, says the needs of the animal rescue society are extreme. "We need a steady stream of funding if we are to survive in this bad economy," Heim said at the meeting of the Shohola Township board on July 14.
"Economic conditions for humans and animals are dire. Many have lost their homes. Some people are living in their cars. You wouldn't believe it. When that happens to people, they usually abandon their pets and then we get a call."
In 1998, the Pike County Commissioners gave about $3,000 a year at a time when 50 animals were being handled, he said. "Over two years, we handled 1,895 animals in distress," he said. "We take in all domesticate animals, farm animals—we even had a peacock in a tree in Masthope and an emu that was loose in Ranchland. If it's loose, we get the call, and refuse no one."
The society used to get 60 or 70 strays a year; now they get that many in a month, he said.
The county increased its contribution by $1,000, while the increase in animals handled grew by 1,200 percent, he said. "The present commissioners in Pike are not animal friendly," Heim said.
The cost of taking in a stray animal that is not vetted is around $178, with spaying, neutering, anti-rabies shots, vaccinations and microchips for identification, he said.
In the shelter at present were 45 dogs and 65 cats, he said. Adoptions of a healthy, young dog with all required shots costs $200. There is no charge for a cat that will go into a good home. Only 8% of stray cats get adopted, Heim said. The shelter does not euthanize.
The society receives about $15,000 a year through the state through licensing fees but that isn't enough to overcome its problems.
"We are branching out into Monroe County because of the lack of funding from Pike County," Heim said. "We're setting up a meeting with the Council of Governments down there to see if we can get more contributions."
The society has eight employees counting Heim; three are full-time and five work part-time. About 15 people are currently volunteers at the center. "We could use a lot more volunteers," he said.
Shohola Township board said it would welcome a proposal from the society based on cost per residence to help defray some of their costs. "We're going to have to visit all the townships if we want to stir them up," Heim said.
"A lot of good people donate food to us, but it's money we need," Heim said.
"After being in business for 13 and a half years, we should be passed this," he said. "Until we get some regular funding, we're not able to do any of this and we'll have to close. We have no alternative."

Because Eric Dampier is terrible.
Given how OBVIOUS it is that Turiaf is a difference-maker for this team, and how his energy-presence s almost impossible to make up for when he's not playing....
You would think the role he serves, rebounding and interior defense, would WAKE PEOPLE UP. So, instead of having Rautins, Mason, Williams on the team, wouldn't it be wise to get another BIG in here to supplant Turiaf at times, and fill-in when he's not playing.
E-Dampier anyone? He would mean more wins than Roger freaking Mason.
Because Eric Dampier is terrible.

No use having Rautins-Mason-Williams taking up space. Especially now with Azu and Curry close to returning.
Dampier might suck but he's better than Mozgov. He's useful.
I really hate Dampier.. Even knowing we need another bg who can rebound.. He sucks so much..
Dampier isn't the man we need. he'll ask for too much money and isn't good enough anymore to be effective. we'd be better off scouring D-leaguers and prospects, much like how we brought in Barron last year.
Mozgov is pretty raw and needs more time to get into the NBA game. Giving turiaf a decent backup is important for our depth. More then a mason jr/rautins bench can provide.
Ha mafra you got a great sense of humor bro. Keep it up.
tbh, I'll take Mutumbo (again) over Dampier. All the trade bait we have on our team should go to getting Mello.
2 Reasons!
This horrible contract that Dampier is just finishing playing out was nearly on our payroll if Isiah had his way!
That would be like The Thunder (formely The Sonics) bringing in Jerome James!
If you dodge a bullet once why stand in front of the gun again!

Suns picked up Barron since Robin Lopez got injured
here we are in the 3rd year of the walsh/NO-D 'antoni era , and we are talking about bringing in dampier.... not much of an improvement from the days of the mormon and moron era's...


text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Chiropractic Medicine What is chiropractic medicine? Chiropractic medicine is based on the link between the alignment of the spine and the function of the body. A core tenant of chiropractic medicine is the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself if given proper support. The word chiropractic comes from the Greek words cheir and praxis meaning hand and practice. The words refer to treatment done by the hands or hands-on therapy. With use of manual manipulation of the spine, chiropractors believe they can improve a person's health without surgery or medicine. They believe most illnesses are due to blockages along the nerve bundles in the spinal cord. These blockages are found through physical exam and X-rays. Some chiropractors also prescribe exercises to do at home. Chiropractors may do lab testing, diagnostic imaging, and other testing. Some also practice nutrition and complementary medicine. Treatment may involve lying on your stomach on a special table, while the chiropractor uses his or her hands and elbows to realign the spine. Chiropractic treatments have proven to be effective in treating certain lower back pain symptoms and muscle and other bone pains. Chiropractic training is not equal to the training licensed medical doctors receive, but it is extensive. Doctors of Chiropractic Medicine have had at least 3 years of college with an emphasis on biology or basic sciences. This is followed by a minimum of 4 years of training at an accredited chiropractic college. Medical Reviewers: Fincannon, Joy, RN, MN Marcellin, Lindsey, MD

I exclusively pumped for my DS so I didn't really have this issue since I never got him on the breast to begin with.
How soon after my LO is born should I pump and store milk? I plan to give EBM 1-2x a day in a bottle as soon as our nursing relationship is established. I do not want to have over supply which is why I am asking.
Also when is the best time to pump? right after she nurses or before? I'd like to start a nice freezer stash asap and I'd also like to donate milk. My fear is pumping and then there being nothing in the breast when she nurses if I pump to close to her next feed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

text: I had a very very rough start when my son was born. I had almost no milk for days. I pumped and pumped day and night to only get an ounce at the most and that too, only once a day. Of course my baby wasn't getting enough milk so he started screaming and crying whenever I would put him to my breast. I still did and would hold him there for as long an hour in anticipation of increased milk supply. Everything I tried failed. So, after a struggle for a month and a half I gave up. Now my son is three months old and I want to try again. I only get few drops when I squeeze my nipples. I don't get anything when I pump. My son refuses to go back on breast. I planned to increase my milk supply from those few last drops (even if its an ounce) and then try putting him. I tried fenugreek seeds, mother's milk.. pumping.. nothing is working. What should I do? Did anyone else experience this?

Furthermore, if the ice bucket challenge wasn't going on right now, would ALS even be in any of your minds? Let's face it, when was the last time that anyone even spoke about ALS to you or to the millions of people that are sharing it today?
First of all, what is ALS? The ALS association is the only national non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease on every front, according to the foundation. Whereas, Lou Gehrig's Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
As of Tuesday, Aug. 26, the ALS Association has received $88.5 million in donations compared to $2.6 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to Aug. 26), according to the ALSA homepage. Donations, which were at $22.6 million a week ago, have been increasing by an average of $9 million per day. This dramatic increase comes from the social "hashtag activism" going on all over the web.
Though the awareness of ALS and its cause has spread like a wild fire, thanks to social media and the ice bucket challenge, there are a lot of controversial views as to whether or not it is a "good thing."
Across Sinton, school personnel, including the Board of Trustees, and other entities, such as the Texas Highway Patrol, are accepting the challenge and taking the plunge. Last Friday, Mrs. Jennifer Puente, wife of Dr. Joseph Puente, in Sinton, their five kids, and six members of Dr. Puente's staff, volunteered to start the ice bucket challenge.
They received a donation of the ice from their neighbor, Last Stop Liquor, and, in turn, challenged Dr. Rene Acuna and his office, as well as the Sinton Community Action staff. Additionally, the Puente staff and family donated $500 to the cause, which was on behalf of Dr. Puente's children, Alex, Josh, Leandra, Zachary and Lindsey.
Though the ice bucket challenge has brought about a significant increase in donations and awareness, there are still those who's belief strays a little from the popular fad. Many online blogs are raging about the challenge, calling it a "Would-You-Rather" game, where people have the option of either accepting the challenge or donating $100 to an ALS charity at alsa.org.
"Some say it's an attention getter, but I believe if it's bringing about awareness, then it's a good thing," said Melinda Barajas, the Player Agent for Mathis Little League. Barajas, who supports research to finding a cure for Lou Gehrig's Disease because a close friend of hers lost her half brother to the disease, has already helped 18 people in Mathis record five videos of themselves accepting the ice bucket challenge and donate hundreds of dollars to the ALS Association.
"I understand that there are some people who are uncomfortable about donating to ALS because of rumors about the organization supporting embryonic stem cell research," Barajas commented. "That's why, when I challenge someone, I allow them the option to donate to a charity of their choice." The point is to offer support to something you believe in, regardless of the organization, according to Barajas.
There are many, such as the Sinton ISD Board of Trustees (see picture on Education page), who believe the ice bucket challenge is all good and it's good people having some fun while raising awareness to help a good cause like ALS.
Another view involves Father Patrick Serna, the priest at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Sinton. Recently, Father Serna posted a scripture from Matthew 6:1-4, which says "not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them," but to know "that your almsgiving may be secret...and your Father who sees in secret will repay you."
As far as the rumor that the ALS Association supports the use of embryonic stem cells for research, information on this can be found by going to http://www.alsa.org/research/about-als-research/stem-cells.html. On their homepage, ALS talks about how it is a successful way of researching cures for Lou Gehrig's Disease, though it poses ethical concerns. This is the reason that ALS is working with iPS cells, or stem cells that can be created from skin cells, for the time being.
"I am 100 percent for charity that does not support, directly or indirectly, abortion or research based on the use of babies killed by abortion. I judge no one, this is my belief for me and my house," Father Serna stated. Though Father Serna believes he will lose popularity by going against something that is supremely popular right now, he says his goal is not to be funny, or liked, or popular. He emphasized that, in devoting himself to the church, he has given up family, children and grandchildren because of zeal for the Lord and for wanting to help people get to heaven.
"At the end of the day, that is who I am, and what I want. Have an informed conscience, and make informed decisions, with Heaven always as your goal. If we can bring comfort or a smile, while people strive for Heaven, then we are doing something good," Father Serna said.
The largest reasons for the controversy with the ice bucket challenge revolve around "attention" and the fact that embryonic stem cell research is either supported or utilized.
"Because I am pro-life, I cannot support the ALS Association specifically, because of their funding of embryonic stem cell research, which can only come from aborted babies," said Randy Schmidt, a Sinton native and newly published author. "While I support finding a cure for ALS, I also support ending abortion, a horrific practice that ends over 1 million lives in the United States per year (making abortion actually THE leading cause of death in our country)."
By the time the summer heat cools off and ice water no longer feels refreshing, people will have completely forgotten about ALS. Unfortunately, people don't understand that social problems continue even after you stop hashtagging them.
No matter what side you are on, hopefully, instead of raising a debate on the pros and cons of the #IceBucketChallenge, instead, when you get the chance, you'll raise that ice water bucket real high and take the plunge, or write a check to a charitable organization and help the cause...the choice is yours!

Szechuan pasta salad with hot pepper vinaigrette
Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper in the dressing for this Asian pasta salad to make it mild or fiery.
8 ounces bow tie pasta (farfalle)
3 cups broccoli florets
1 ½ cups (about 4 ounces) snow peas
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, preferably toasted
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (Tabasco sauce), or to taste
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Pinch of cayenne pepper, or to taste
To complete the recipe
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
3 scallions, cut into ½-inch-long pieces
Garnish (optional): toasted pine nuts
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the bow ties. When the water returns to a boil, stir occasionally to separate the pasta. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for about 12 to 14 minutes, or according to package instructions, until al dente. While pasta is cooking, blanch the broccoli and snow peas. Also, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl.
When the pasta is done, drain and rinse well in cold water, then drain again.
Transfer the pasta to a large bowl. Add the broccoli, snow peas, bell pepper, and scallions; toss. Add the vinaigrette and toss again. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Advance preparation
This salad will keep for up to 3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. (It's best to refrigerate the dressing and salad separately; toss together up to 1 hour before serving.)

60° bolt lift
Adjustable Feather Trigger
Free-floated barrel
Gray composite stock
Inflex Technology recoil pad
The first thing you notice about the synthetic gray X-Bolt Hunter is its stealth appearance. Its tough, gray composite stalk sets it apart from other composite stock models. Of course, it's also packed with all the standard X-Bolt features like the adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger system that offers the best feel on any Browning rifle ever. The X-Bolt is free-floated by bedding the front and rear of the action for stability and to help maintain barrel to stock spacing for consistent accuracy, while a recessed muzzle crown helps protect the rifling from damage. A bolt unlock button works with the top-tang safety to offer enhanced safety while unloading. To ensure the stability of optics, scope bases are attached to the receiver using four screws per base. Constructed from a durable lightweight polymer, the detachable rotary magazine is designed to feed cartridges directly in-line with the bolt, instead of offset as with traditional leaf-spring magazines, for a straight shot right into the chamber. The proprietary construction and material of the Inflex Technology recoil pad promote a directional deflection of recoil forces, pulling the stock comb away from your face to reduce felt recoil and muzzle climb. 60° bolt lift. Sling swivel studs installed.

For Immediate Release
March 23, 2004
(Springfield) - The Governor's current proposal to transfer
the state's school construction program to the Capital
Development Board will leave nearly 200 school districts
in a lurch as well as deprive them of the ability to manage
their own school construction projects, the Illinois State
Board of Education announced Tuesday.
"This is a frightening proposition for school districts
statewide," State Superintendent Robert Schiller
said. "The Governor's proposal will empower the Capital
Development Board to control $2.2 billion in bonds for
school construction projects and will remove the Legislature's
priorities for the program."
Senate Bill 3001 will remove the current priorities set
forth by the Legislature when it first approved the School
Construction program in 1997. The State Board of Education
currently prioritizes school districts whose buildings
are aging and whose communities are expanding, as prescribed
by the Legislature. Distribution of the grant money comes
through the Capital Development Board.
The Governor's most recent proposal will fund 24 schools
that have been waiting for funding since fiscal year 2002.
It does not address the remaining 194 school districts
that have submitted applications over the past two years.
Because SB 3001 will wipe out the Legislature's priorities
for the program, there is no guarantee that the projects
applied for by the 194 school districts will be approved
"Removing a fair process set into law by the Legislature
with a program that is discretionary can not possibly
serve all of our schools equitably," Schiller said.
The Governor's proposal also empowers the Capital Development
Board to procure all architectural, engineering and land
surveying services for the authorized projects and also
authorizes it to charge a one-percent administration fee
to the school district for CDB oversight of the projects.
Currently, some school districts use their business managers
as project managers, while others pay a small percentage
of the total cost to a contractor to oversee the construction,
Schiller said.
"Taking away a school district's power to choose
who will build its schools may not be in the best interest
of its community," Schiller said. "This proposed
change in the law should definitely raise the brows of
school board members and administrators statewide."
Also of great concern to Schiller is the addition of
a new category in the bill which includes construction
of shared use facilities that provide for school districts'
joint use for recreational, clinical, library, pre-school
or before or after school programs with other governmental
units including State Institutions of higher learning.
Schiller fears that instead of building schools with the
grant money, communities could push for baseball diamonds
and community centers under this provision in the bill.
Schiller corrected the Governor's assertions regarding
the funding of the School Maintenance Grant Program. The
Governor said that "ISBE has not funded the program
since Fiscal Year 2000."
Schiller said, "ISBE does not appropriate - we advocate."
The School Maintenance Grant Program was funded in FY
2000 for $52 million, again in FY 2001 for $73 million,
and ISBE requested $58 million in FY 2002 but that was
not appropriated. ISBE has repeatedly advocated for the
quality program.
"This bill dangles $2.2 billion over the heads of
districts in exchange for their support of the Governor's
takeover of the State Board of Education," Schiller

Last week, we brought you word that industry analyst Michael Pachter thinks Call of Duty's multiplayer will soon cost something to play, and that the release of Black Ops will likely bring this nickle and diming to us all. Obviously, gamers were upset.
Today we have a YouTube video that purports to show a MW 2 menu reading "no memberships available at this time." Check it out:
According to the YouTube poster:
"The title of the menu reads, "Modern Warfare 2 Membersh". The last word is "Memberships" according to the message given in the menu. Could Activision be planning on charging us for CoD multiplayer?
Was trying to join a friend's session when this menu popped up. I don't know what caused it to appear, and I haven't been able to get it to appear again."
I smell "fake" all over this. The timing is too convenient. Pachter (who has no official connection to Activision, BTW) mentions the possibility of fees for COD multiplayer late last week, and early this week a video appears? I'm not buying it. Plus, this menu just happened to appear while someone was capping game footage?
I am, however, buying the possibility/likelihood that Activision will start charging for some aspects of multiplayer shooting. When has a huge corporation ever turned down a guaranteed money-maker? And charging the millions of people who buy Black Ops a little extra for the "best" parts of the game seems like a no-brainer to me. It's sad, but logical...

Lawmakers aren't happy with RetreatThe Associated Press | March 27,2013BRATTLEBORO — Members of a Vermont House committee say they're not pleased with the information they're getting from the Brattleboro Retreat about the care of state patients there.
Committee members Tuesday criticized the Retreat for slowness to keep the state informed about recent incidents at the facility, including one in which a patient reported improper sexual contact to a staff member, and the staff member failed to report the issue.
Hospital vice president Peter Albert agreed that the report should have gone immediately to the state's adult protective division.
In another case, an adolescent patient was improperly placed in seclusion.
And in another, a patient with both medical and mental health issues was reported to have been subjected to an emergency medical intervention too soon.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

Londonderry man charged in aggravated assaultBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | April 19,2013BRATTLEBORO A 21-year-old Londonderry man pleaded innocent Thursday to charges of aggravated assault on a housemate after he came home Wednesday upset about something his sister had posted on Facebook, according to court records.
Timothy Slade also pleaded innocent to a related charge of simple assault by menacing.
Judge John Wesley released Slade on conditions, including that he not have any contact with Jacob Johnson, 21, the man he allegedly tried to choke, as well as not to harass family members who witnessed the attack.
According to police, Slade grabbed Johnson around the neck and went nose to nose with him, and pushed him into a couch and started attacking him.
Johnson told police that Slade kept on telling him he wanted to fight him, but he refused.
Police said they saw scratches and red marks on Johnsons neck.
According to court records, Slade and Johnson, and other people, including Slades sister and young son, all live with Slades father in South Londonderry.
Slade had been ordered held without bail by another judge Wednesday afternoon after he was arrested at his familys home. At least two family members said that Slade was in a rage when he came home Wednesday, upset about a comment posted on Facebook by his sister Kimberly.
But his anger at his sister later turned to Johnson, according to court records. Slade told police that he was upset with Johnson not doing any work and not contributing any money to the expenses of the household.
Windham County Deputy States Attorney Ashley Harriman said that Slade was ordered by the judge to stay 300 feet away from Johnson and his vehicle. Slade was given permission to return to the home once in order to retrieve some possessions and his vehicle from the home on Thompsonburg Road. Harriman said that Slade will live somewhere else.
Slades father tried to break up the fight, at which point Kimberly Slade called 911 to report a fight.
Terrance Slade told police that he was trying to hold his son down and pull him off Johnson. He told police he didnt know what the argument was about.
But I feel that he needs emotional counseling and help, the father wrote in his affidavit.
The aggravated assault charge carries a potential sentence of 15 years in prison.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

Athlete Biography
In 2009 I spotted a weblink mentioning the British Disabled Triathlon Championships and decided to enter for the fun of it. A first place in my event and I was hooked. My favorite ITU has been the Hyde Park International - fantastic venue, well organized, great crowd and professional commentary; it was a great experience. During an average training week, I swim for two hours, bike for four, and run for two. My personal best swim time (750m) is 13:06, bike (20km) 45:57, run (5km) 20:06. My triathlon goal is to medal at this year's Europeans. I'm chairman of Somerset Wheelchair Sports Club, Disabled Persons rep for the British Canoe Union Southwest region, and am involved in coaching wheelchair racing for young athletes in Taunton. Something the triathlon world doesn't know about me is that I have been a level two kayak coach for 15 years and have taught many dozens of children and adults how to kayak. The biggest obstacle I have overcome in life is probably the lack of opportunity to get involved in sport, as I was perhaps the only disabled child at my school. The person who has had the most influence on my sporting career is my wife, for her support and encouragement.

All log furniture is subject to the natural process of checking as the wood "seasons". Checking occurs because we use the whole tree in our log furniture, the logs may have cracks or checks. This is a natural phenomenon that is part of the drying process of logs. As the logs are dried for use in furniture, the wood shrinks in length, width and radially around the heart of the tree. As tension develops in the wood due to shrinkage, the log splits to relieve tension. These splits or cracks are known as "checks" in the log and are visible in many of our pieces of log furniture. All logs that contain the heart of the tree will develop these lengthwise cracks or checks and the check will not go deeper than the heart. Consequently, the structural integrity of the log is compromised very little. The checks are natural and are part of the beauty and character of log furniture. All of our Rustic Cedar Furniture has a Five Year Manufacturers Warranty. sitemap

Walking with lions
I've followed lions on many occasions from the safe seat of an open game vehicle, and watched them hunt, fight, mate and make a kill. But when I was asked if I would like to walk with lions, I jumped at the chance. What an opportunity – to walk with three young lions through natural bushveld as zebra and impala grazed not too far away.
The walk was supposed to last for an hour, but we walked, watched and took hundreds of photos for over two hours as Michael, the white lion, and Coa and Sesame, the two younger tawny ones, ambushed each other from behind bushes, climbed trees, rolled over and over as they played in the grass, and washed their whiskers. They even went into a dam to cool down, and shook themselves like huge dogs as they climbed out and up a bank.
A cool grey heron eyed them cautiously but didn't stop its own fishing activities.
Where was I for the walk? At Ukutula Lion Park & Lodge in North West province, where Willi and Gillian Jacobs and their family run a game lodge that breeds lions (and other big cats), and where they and a team of international researchers are studying lions in all their shapes and forms.
They shredded our curtains, ran away with the washing, ate the furniture, but stole our hearts.
Gillian spoke about the time she and Willi had five young lions staying with them for months: 'They shredded our curtains, ran away with the washing, ate the furniture, but stole our hearts.'
Ukutula has strong research links with two South African universities and three European ones. The day I walked I met young volunteers from Norway; Elaine from Glasgow on her third trip, who has 'adopted' a lion (i.e. made a financial contribution towards the animal's welfare at Ukutula); and Selen, a lecturer in business studies from Yale, who is on her fourth trip and has also adopted a lion. There was also a big group of children on a school expedition who were staying in the big dormitory.
Willi was adamant that his lions are never used or sold for hunting. 'They are research animals solely, and we always make sure that they go on to wonderful new homes, such as other game lodges and nature reserves, where they quickly re-establish themselves in the wild.'
Ukutula is only just over an hour-and-a-half's drive from Johannesburg. Go for the day, stay the night in one of the lovely self-catering cottages, or go as a volunteer.
But whatever your purpose, just make sure you do go.
Walking with lions is an experience that I – and you – will never forget.
