Junk King joined the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce about two years ago when I first opened this business. Since then my membership has been wildly successful for me, and particularly successful for me has been the leads groups. Recently I performed the largest Junk Removal in Junk King history - a contract I was referred to through a Bethlehem Chamber leads group. I also rely on the professionals I have met through the chamber as my vendors and subcontractors for my business. The Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce is well worth my time and energy.

Doing business with people you know is better than with strangers. Since I became involved with the Chamber, I feel like I have a group of colleagues I can network with and talk to about business. Before that, I used to think of myself as an employee, but with the help of the Chamber I truly became a business owner. I realized how important it is to take the time to get away from my business to join in on Chamber events, and it has been time well spent.

The Bethlehem Chamber has been a major source of networking for my business. Any dues paid have been returned many times over in the activities, support and events with which I've been involved as a member.

My relationship with the Chamber has been invaluable to me in a very short time. I am a member of two networking groups where many relationships have been built. I value the opportunity to hear from and brainstorm with a varied group of business people who are gifted in different areas. All of this has helped me to see things differently, think more creatively, and utilize better business tools and strategies. Many thanks!"

I truly value my membership with the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce. It has presented many opportunities for me within the town and with other businesses. The networking opportunities are fabulous. I take advantage of the breakfast meetings and always leave with valuable information that I did not know before. I enjoy the annual golf outing and look forward to the annual dinner. The Bethlehem chamber hosts mixer events but also joins forces with other chambers broadening the networking opportunities and venues. I am also involved in one of the many leads groups. The Bethlehem Chamber encourages members to submit information for the monthly newsletter. They put great effort to promote the Chamber and its members and to be visible in the community. The Bethlehem Chamber is the only chamber I belong to and I am a proud and satisfied member. "

Any viable business community needs a strong network of people working together. The Bethlehem Chamber is the organization in town that allows us to share contacts and help each other out with leads, and offer each other help and advice individually in order to advance the community as a whole.

Since my Chamber Breakfast presentation on Social Media for the Local Business, I've received four leads. At least one of the leads could multiply if other people in their real estate office are interested in my services too. Even if only one of these leads turns into a paying client, it will cover my annual Chamber membership. If none of them turn into clients, I still benefit knowing four new business people in our community.

Berkshire Bank –Delmar is very committed to help grow our small business and personal relationships in our Bethlehem community. I thank the Chamber for welcoming me to the area and helping support my branch. The networking groups are a wonderful way to meet other members and help grow your business!
Erica Hebler
Branch Officer
Berkshire Bank - Delmar Branch
We have a been a member of the Bethlehem chamber since 1999. Being a small business, we initially joined for the health insurance benefits. We then began to attend leads groups, mixers and other chamber events, which are all included with the low annual dues. Most of our referrals come from local businesses and local residents. Therefore, we would like to thank the chamber for being so instrumental in helping to grow and sustain our self-storage business.
Garo Derian, Glenmont Self Storage
As a new member, the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce has far exceeded my expectations. I have attended two Leads lunches and participated in both the Tuesday and Saturday Farmers Markets. We have had our activities highlighted in your weekly newsletter, and shared to the Chamber Facebook page. As a new organization, this kind of exposure is exactly what we need. Chamber membership has been a very positive experience and I greatly look forward to our continuing participation.

Friends of Bethlehem Parks and Recreation
As the owner of a recently formed local business, one of the most beneficial choices I made was to join the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce. I was encouraged to attend the Leads Groups which has not only allowed me to meet many other motivated local business representatives, but has accomplished its goal of bringing business my way from the very first meeting!
Terri Fish
Owner, Safe Home Delmar, LLC
The Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in giving my company a positive presence in Bethlehem and beyond. My teambuilding training applies to almost any type of business with three or more employees. Events like monthly business leads group meetings, networking events with other Capital Region Chambers, and special events such as watching a local professional baseball game with other local business people are perfect opportunities to give me the personal access and exposure that my business needs. I have been part of much larger Chambers but have found Bethlehem to be the most helpful in growing my company.

LOUISVILLE – Getting 33 points from Miss Basketball candidate Lindsey Duvall and playing a nearly perfect second quarter, the Bullitt East Lady Chargers surged to a 63-54 victory on Wednesday over Manual in the Republic Bank/Coca-Cola Girls' Louisville Invitational Tournament.
Manual came into the tournament as the fourth ranked team in the state and the number three seed amongst the Louisville squad, but a 23-5 scoring edge in the second quarter gave Bullitt East a 37-31 halftime edge and the red and gold never relinquished that in the second half.
LOUISVILLE – Bullitt East's strong run through the Republic Bank/Coca-Cola Girls' Louisville Invitational Tournament came to a disappointing finish on Friday when a cold-shooting second half led to a 73-59 loss to Mercer County in the event's quarter-finals.
LOUISVILLE – The Bullitt East Lady Chargers ran their winning streak to ten games and 15 of the last 16 as they won twice more over the weekend playing in the Raatz Fence/O'Shea's Classic at Mercy High School.
Bullitt East has become a regular in the Mercy event which is one of the most prestigious 'showcase' events in the state each season. The event attracts a lot of college coaches to see the assembled talent.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- After averaging just 41 points a game through the first 18 games of the season, the Bullitt Central Lady Cougars finally found some offensive firepower on Friday, traveling into Jefferson County and beating Atherton 60-44.
The 60 points offensive production was the second most the team had scored in a game this season, surpassed only by the 71 points they scored against Jeffersontown early in the season.
Bullitt Central (6-14) also scored 60 points before Christmas in a win at home over Waggener.
LOUISVILLE — The Bullitt East Lady Chargers have advanced to the quarterfinals of the Republic Bank/Coca Cola Consolidated Louisville Invitational Tournament.
HEBRON ESTATES — Coming off Wednesday night's late-game collapse against Southern, North Bullitt head coach Korey Craddock didn't know what to expect when his Eagles took the floor Friday evening.
But, what he saw was exactly what he was hoping.
His Eagles put together its most complete game.
Even in the 69-66 loss, Craddock was very encouraged by his team's play.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- All three Bullitt County wrestling programs will converge on Bullitt Central on Wednesday for the annual All-Bullitt County Meet.
The teams have all wrestled each other this season in the duals format, but this will be the first and only time they will do so in a tri-match. This will be an important tune-up for all three teams before they take part in the Region 3 Tournament which for the first time will be held at Bullitt East on Saturday, Feb. 11 (with some matches on Feb. 10 if needed).
LOUISVILLE -- Both Bullitt East and North Bullitt will open play in this year's Republic Bank/Coca-Cola Girls' Louisville Invitational Tournament on Tuesday at Bellarmine University's Knight's Hall.
In fact, North Bullitt will play the very first game in the 16-team event when the Lady Eagles take the court at 3:30 against Christian Academy of Louisville. The two programs have met at this stage each of the past two seasons witht he teams splitting those games with CAL winning in 2016 and North Bullitt in 2015.
MOUNT WASHINGTON -- Coming out of the disappointment of a quarter-final loss in the Boys' Louisville Invitational Tournament five days earlier, the Bullitt East Chargers started a new winning streak in a rare Wednesday game as they crushed visiting Manual 79-46.
It has been a tough season for the Crimsons as the normally powerful program had just three wins heading to Mount Washington. Bullitt East made sure they didn't get the fourth victory as the red and gold pulled away from an 18-14 lead after one quarter with a 23-3 advantage in the second frame.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Far from a powerhouse offensive team this winter, the Bullitt Central Lady Cougars may have hit rock bottom on Tuesday as they were beaten by visiting Bardstown 51-20.
The game was the fourth in five days for the maroon and gray and that could well have had something to do with the struggles on offense. The Lady Cougars made just six shots the entire night in 49 attempts (12.2 percent). Bullitt Central was actually a little better outside the arc than inside it as they made three of 15 from long range.

Fantastic find! It's a lengthy read but easy to follow.
Success is a general term that I think most people interpret to mean wealth AND /OR happiness.
i used to think wealth is success but now I realize happiness is more important to me
That article points a nice technic to have some insights.
It may look reverse but I remember hearing this: Success, wealth and everything forms as a side effect of going towards blissfulness. Side effects are impermanent and separate from happiness.
i used to think wealth is success but now I realize happiness is more important to me
+1 i call this the deceitfullness of riches.
success is just a state of mind… think of yourself as a success and you'll become successful… deep I know
Good observation: http://www.ted.com/talks/richard_st_john_s_8_secrets_of_success.html
Awesome video! Loved the 'Get over CRAP ' bit
success is just a state of mind… think of yourself as a success and you'll become successful… deep I know
Even though a lot of people measure success on a scale, usually money-related, you could of course say it's also a state of mind. From that point of view, though, you could say that everything is a state of mind. Sure, you can measure your weight, intelligence, skill (at doing anything) or even happyness but in the end it's all just a state of mind.
Quantum psychics greatly relies on this philosophy – everything around us, everything we do, everything we see is just what we think it is. It's all just a state of mind.
As Sir Charles Lyell first said, back in the 1860s (I did my homework!); "Mind over matter"
Yup exactly , everything is our own interpretation.
Successfull people for me are not necesseraly rich people.
It's someone that reached his goals. If his goal is to make money and he succeed to have a lot, then he's sucessfull to me.
If someone's goal is to live his life meditating in buddah temple, and he do it , then he's successfull.
If someone kills 20 person over 10 years , he is … wait no .. he's a serial killer ! Ok too much Dexter
I think you got the point
interesting….but success comes from God!
I do believe that success comes from God, but I also do believe that success comes from working hard, being patient and so on! So what I want to say is that God won't ever grant you success unless you deserve it, unless you worked hard
(Just explaining my point of view )
Wow : http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html
I liked that a lot.

Grunt is everywhere. JavaScript projects from jQuery to Twitter Bootstrap use Grunt to convert code, run tests, and produce distributions for production. It's a build tool in the spirit of Make and Rake, but written with modern apps in mind. This book gets you up to speed with Grunt using practical hands-on examples, so you can wrangle your projects with ease. You'll learn how to create and maintain tasks and project builds, and automate your workflow with plugins and custom tasks.
JavaScript has moved from being the language you love to hate to the language you need to use. And as JavaScript applications get more complex, you need a process to manage that complexity. While online tutorials just explain how to slap together a configuration file, this book goes further and shows you how to create your own tasks, design your own project templates, combine plugins together to bring a web app to life, and build your own plugins.
You'll start by learning the basics of task creation, error handling, and logging as you create a simple configuration that executes basic JavaScript code using Node.js. Then you'll jump right into file manipulation as you read, write, copy, and delete files. You'll learn how Grunt's powerful multitasks work as you build a task to concatenate files together. Once you've got a grasp on these basics, you'll build a simple app with AngularJS and CoffeeScript, using Grunt to do all the heavy lifting and script processing. Finally, you'll create your own plugin so you can understand how plugins work.
Each chapter contains hands-on exercises and ideas for further study. Whether you rock Ruby or sling C#, Grunt will be a useful addition to your toolbox.

Excellent Grunt Overview
By Anthony
from Shiloh, IL
About Me Designer, Developer
Best Uses
Comments about oreilly Automate with Grunt:
This is an excellent book on how to automate your workflow using Grunt, JavaScript's task runner. Brian P. Hogan has written a lightweight book that is heavy on the content you need, stripping away all of the unnecessary text, and getting right to the heart of the matter: ways to use Grunt.I appreciate how he started the book with the basics of using Grunt – creating tasks, expanding tasks to accept inputs and have one or more outputs, chaining and multitasks, manipulating files on the file system – before moving on to more complex automation exercises. Brian then introduces how to utilize Grunt to execute a real-life workflow scenario, with all of the considerations that must be made when doing so. He finishes up with building Plug-ins with Grunt and, taking things a step further, creating project scaffolds to take care of the mundane setup associated with a new project.All of the Examples Brian uses are practical and apply to things that developers face daily in their jobs and careers. I liked that he introduced Bower into the examples early on, as this is a commonly used package manager for web sites and applications. And though I am not a fan of CoffeeScript, it was easy to ignore that fact when it was introduced, as it did show the true power and potential of Grunt as an automation tool.I would recommend this book to anyone who is new to Grunt and just starting to learn it, or anyone who wants to take their Grunt task runner to the next level in the automation needs of their web projects.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Well i finally broke winamp 2.95
Im not sure what happened exactly but after 6 months of flawless use winamp 2.95 just stopped running or launching. RR playlist was gone and all that was said in the song window is an errie message from 2.95's grave: winamp-
Tried to launch winamp with RR closed and nothing would happen. Reinstall of 2.95 yeilded the same results: I broke poor 2.95 to the point it wont even run on my system. I have logged many, many, many hours of input on roadrunner while driving and winamp 2.95 just could not hande it anymore. R.I.P.
The Fix? A 30 second 5.9Mb download from the internet
Winamp 5.21 (latest release) Is what im running now. Few things ive noticed that I like. During my RR splash boot winamp does not 'flash' for a second before minimizing, like the old version. The << and >> controls are more responsive, sometimes I had LAG with 2.95, seems fixed with the new version.
I still need to fine tune the EQ because of the upgrade I lost my EQ settings. Other than that I only had to run frodoplayer for one 15 mile drive before I had RR fixed. I gotta say though I have a badass MMI audi style skin running on FP that is hella FAST and stable. Just can't get past the sound output.
So im happy to say all is well on the carPC and RR is better than ever now with 5.21 On a side note what ever happened to the winamp 3 series? 3 dissappeared almost faster then it appeared?

Sometimes those little wires can cause problems.
If none of the previously mentioned things in this thread solve your issue; check that pilot bushing and the pilot on the input gear (the smooth tip on the input shaft rides in that bushing or bearing that's in the back of your crank). If you have a needle bearing in there; get it out. If you have a bronze bushing in the crank, check it with a magnet. if the magnet sticks; get it out. Replace with a premium bronze bushing that DOES NOT stick to a magnet. We make them; but if you're not in the northeast, its more cost effective to drive to Napa and rummage through their box, checking the inside dia AND the outside dia with your favorite magnet.
Needle bearings are great if you want to futz around with a dial indicator, trying to dial the bellhousing register within .002. The bushing can take a small amount of misalignment and still work properly. Do NOT use grease on the pilot or the ID of the bushing.
If the tip of your input is discolored, scratched or pitted...it should probably be replaced, although in reality, a bushing shouldn't be bothered by this if the damaged area is very small and localized.
Since you'll be under the car anyway, drain the lube from the gearbox and inspect it. Refill with GL4 multi viscosity 90wt NON Synthetic. We like Sta-Lube's SL24229 (1qt bottle) from Napa
Sorry for the lengthy post
Hate to hijack, but why dont you like the roller bearing pilot? THey are the only thing that I have found to work in racing apps. I have seen some fall apart on high mileage street cars, though.

In honor of that show, I'd like to describe my slightly adjusted version of Bon Appetit's Honey-Glazed Roasted Carrots in the manner of each of the judges.
Yo, yo, yo dawg, listen up - this sauce BRANG IT! I was worried about the carrots at first, but yeah, I feel 'em. I feel 'em. They ended up working with each other, dawg. Yo, did you know I played bass for the magazine that created this recipe? That's right, dawg! YEAH!
The carrots … they're all the colors of the rainbow. And the sauce … it transcends time and space, and I love way it feels and looks around my neck, and … oh, I loved it. Because, it didn't need sparkles or fairies. It just was. It was a purple waterfall that God could smell in heaven. It just was … and I knew it from the moment I saw it. Rainbows. God bless.
Paula … I have no idea what you just said. But … I must say … that … was … ABSOLUTELY … brilliant. I LOVED it. The honey and balsamic were COMPLETELY unexpected, and the carrots, ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS. It is 100% going to be made next week. Also, Ryan Seacrest – your tie is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.
KRIS (Note: not really an A.I. judge)
The sauce alone, man – I could drink it as a shake. I could pour it on cereal. I could use it as shampoo. It rendered me illiterate, or at least somewhat non-verbal. And with the carrots? It even transcends that. Roasting them brings out their natural sweetness, which is only magnified by el Glaze-o. Nicely done.
With that said, I should mention that I think my fat and calorie estimates are kind of high, since a lot of the oil gets left in the bowl and on the cookie sheet.
I should also mention that Bon Appetit's recipe included parsnips, and I'm sure that would go beautifully in here as well.
Oh yeah - and I NEED to mention that Jason Castro is 100% completely the kind of guy I would have swooned for when I was 20, white-kid dreads and all. (I didn't say I was proud.)
Finally, I should mention … the recipe! (Go Carly!)
Honey-Glazed Roasted Carrots
Makes 3 servings.
Adapted from Epicurious/Bon Appetit.
1 lb. carrots (1/2 to 1 inches in diameter), peeled, halved lengthwise
1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tablespoons honey
1/3 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1) Preheat oven to 400°F and place rack in center.
2) Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. In a medium bowl, mix carrots, olive oil, salt, and pepper until carrots have been thoroughly doused.
3) Roast vegetables 16 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Roast 5 more minutes, or until carrots are "tender enough to be easily pierced with a knife." (You can prep this an hour or two ahead, which I did this past Thanksgiving. Just cover loosely with aluminum foil and warm it in the oven for about 10 minutes before serving.)
3) In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. (Do not let brown.) Add honey and vinegar. Stir. Pour over carrots. Serve.

Last month, author and New York Times Book Reviewer Christopher Beha wrote an excellent essay about why the Times devotes more space to reviewing literary fiction than genre fiction.
"Genre fiction... Is by and large not very interesting to talk about, although it often happens to be interesting to read. Such fiction, even when very well made, is designed to conform to the expectations of its genre or subgenre, and usually the best that can be said about any given example of it is that it does or does not succeed in conforming to these expectations. [...] There is nothing shameful or ignoble about that goal. But once you have weighed in on whether U is for Undertow has succeeded in delivering the familiar experience of reading a Sue Grafton alphabet mystery, what more of interest is there to say about the book?"
SEE ALSO: T-ara receive praise for their hilarious skits on 'SNL Korea'
K-Pop presents the same challenges to a music reviewer as Sue Grafton does to book reviewers- how, for example, does one write about an awesome Sweetune song, when its awesomeness is largely due to the fact that it sounds like a Sweetune song, using all the same instruments and composition tricks that he always uses? I love Nine Muses' "Wild", but how do I tell you how great it is without saying, "it sounds like INFINITE but sung by girls"? How do I explain that "NoNoNo" turned me into an A Pink fan without mentioning that they owe a debt to S.E.S's old concept, and that it was about time for someone to pick up the S.E.S baton now that Girls' Generation has moved on? Should I just pretend that Sunmi's fantastic "24 Hours" doesn't sound like miss A's "Goodbye Baby" 2.0?
Nobody illustrates this dilemma more than T-ara with their "Number 9" comeback. "Number 9" is awesome, but it's awesome because it sounds like a T-ara song. This song is "Bo Peep". It's "Roly Poly". It's "Lovey Dovey". It's "Sexy Love". It's everything I love about a Shinsadong Tiger / T-ara collaboration, and I wouldn't ask for or want anything else from their big return. The girls have been through their fair share of scandals but through it all, they returned back to 6 members, back to what made them who they are - their roots. I guess you could sum it up as, "They were lost but now they've found themselves again".
So when I say that "Number 9" is your typical T-ara song, know that I absolutely mean that as a compliment. Because your typical T-ara song is pretty freaking great. Welcome back.

[AMERICANS ABROAD] Erika Tymrak, the NWSL Rookie of the Year who debuted for the USA last week, make her first appearance for German club Bayern Munich Saturday in its 1-1 tie with defending German and European champion Wolfsburg before 8,249 fans in Wolfsburg.
Tymrak came on for the last 20 minutes of the
season opener. Three other Americans started -- Nikki Cross, Amber Brooks and Sarah
Hagen -- for Bayern.
-- Christen Press scored a hat trick in Tyreso's 8-0 at Sunnana on Tuesday to give her 19 goals in 15 games in Sweden's
Damallsvenskan. Tyreso, which also started Ashlyn Harris, Ali Krieger and Meghan
Klingenberg, still trails Malmo by two points.
-- Lindsey Horan had her first goal of the season for Paris St. Germain Sunday in its 4-0 win
over AS Muret. French international Laura Georges, who played at Boston College, had two goals for PSG.
It will be an American affair when Tyreso and PSG meet in the round of 32 of the UEFA Women's Champions League in October. A fifth U.S. international, Whitney
Engen, will join Tyreso after her season with Liverpool Ladies ends. Tobin Heath has returned for a second season at PSG.

I just decided to catch me a little snack, and mom was watching my technique. Lots of people have heard of the "Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retreiver". I am now officially going by "Southern Louisiana Fly Tolling Consumer"!!!
Dang, finally! I've been trying to get mom to let ME type a journal entry for a while now, but she keeps letting Storm or Meridian go first. She says she feels bad and hadn't relized I hadn't gotten a turn in well over 6 months!
Well, I guess the newest thing is that there's a new dog next door. Her name is Xena. Kevin and Mandy moved in, too. I've met Kevin a bunch before, but I haven't gotten to hang out with Xena or Mandy before. The wierdest thing is that from the sniffing I've been able to do at the fence, I noticed that our house used to smell like her when we first moved in. Her smell is old now, but every once in a while I get a whiff. Wierd. Mom says she used to live here. I like Xena OK, but she's kinda making me and Storm look bad. She likes to bark at the fence for no aparent reason. When she does this, Storm and I like to shout back at her, but then we get yelled at! We are trying to be better, and haven't torn down that little chicken wire barricade in a while. Boy did mom get mad about that! I think she is finally understanding that Xena starts it, and she even went so far as to tell us we're good when she watched Xena start barking, then us running up to the fence but staying quiet. I guess I can live with that. I like being told I'm good.
Let's see.... Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten? Mom and I were on a walk and went up to Scotsman's Hill. I was having a good time, and mom told me that since I was being really good and there weren't any other dogs or people around that she was gonna let me off the leash to go run and sniff. I don't understand why I don't get let off the leash there more often. Lots of 0ther dogs do, but mom says it's illegal, what ever that means, so we only do it when no one's looking. Illegal must be like when no one's home and something in that metal container with the plastic bag full of stuff that gets put outside once a week and taken away in a loud truck smells really really good, and since no one's watching you take it out and eat it. You don't get in trouble as long as it's on top, and you don't have to go digging around. You get yelled at and put in time out when you make a mess. That must be like 'illegal'. So anyway, we were walking and mom was just about to let me off the leash, when a bunch of giant birds started flying in circles above us. Mom said, "Oooohhhh look, Natty, hawks! They must be riding the thermals just off the bluff. We'll go over here and you can run around". I was looking forward to being let off the leash, but then those stupid birds started following us over to the other part of the park. "Oh s**t, Natty, I think they may be interested in you!", Mom said. "I don't think it's a very good idea for you to go run now. I think you're too big, but they might try to hurt you, anyway. Lets get you brushed, then we'll go home". So instead of getting to run free, I got tied to a pole, and mom started brushing me. I had gotten my first little ear hair dreadlock in Kelowna, and mom didn't like that too much. I don't get it, because dad used to have a whole head of them. She didn't cut them out of his head, and wonder out loud what got stuck in there! So I'm tied to this pole getting my long flowing ear fuzz brushed and those darn birds were getting even closer! Mom was mesmerized by them, but I could tell she was kinda freaked out, too. They were really close. They would fly overhead, then swoop down only about 4 or 5 feet above her head, and then go higher again. She kept talking to herself or me (I have a hard time telling the difference sometimes) about how they couldn't possibly be interested in us, could they, and how I was too big to carry off for food, but how they were obviousy intersted in us. Well, we started walking really fast for the house, and guess what? They followed us! They were being really loud, too. We got home, and mom grabbed her camera and went back out without taking one of us, but when she came back a little while later, she said that they must have been protecting something against me, or something, because only two had gone back to the hill, and they just stayed perched on the telephone poles. Since then mom and Kevin have developed a theory that they have a nest on the roof of the rich person's house on the corner. They patrol the hill and the park, and mom's scared to take me to either place, which sucks, because I'd rather be at the park than just take boring old walks.
Mom and dad have been talking about New Orleans, where we used to live, a lot. They keep saying the names of some people I haven't even thought about since we moved, and talking about a hurricaine and flooding and chaos in our old city. They talk about how glad we live up here now. I couldn't agree more, although I did like it down there. I happen to like the rain, and during the tropical storm that hit when we lived there, they had to force me to come inside from the back yard. I wanted to ride out the storm in my bush-cave, but they wouldn't let me. They say this storm was a lot worse than that one, and that now a lot of the city is destroyed and lots of people and dogs and stuff don't have houses to live in, or worse.
So we went to Kelowna a couple weeks ago! That was fun. I've never been to BC before. I've never met aunt Robin, great-uncle Jimmy or my cousins Devon or Kayley before, either. We had a big back yard to run around in, but we weren't allowed inside, and had to sleep in the truck. I didn't mind that too much, but I really wanted to check out the house. Near the end of our trip mom and dad left for the day and I snuck inside the house! Hah! Showed them! I didn't go after the cats, because I noticed mom and dad's stuff in the living room just sitting there in that strange place with no one guarding it! Someone had to do it, so I took a shift and sat by the stuff. When they caught me inside, they tried to shoo me back out, but I tried to carefully explain to them that it was my job to protect our stuff, and if they took one step closer I would have no choice but to hurt them. They left me alone. We went to the lake with Sarah and Ryan and Hobo and Lukiah and another guy and a human kid, which was fun. I'd never met them before, either. I hope we can take another vacation soon.
Well, I've written to my heart's content. Hopefully mom will let me write again soon.
So, I've been hearing little noises in the wall, but when I run over to where the TV is, I can't find anything! I go to the TV, because there were mice in our house in New Orleans, and they liked to run behind the TV into a hole by the fireplace and go under the house. The mice are different here. I just figured out that they are in a space probabaly under the kitchen sink, but I made my mom think that they were getting into our computer room/laundry room by freaking out in the corner. OK, so I'm not perfect. They are right around there, though! I think they are living in the basement here, which is kinda like them being under the house in N.O. I will catch one eventually, and they will be so proud of me! I killed 2 of those little monsters when we lived in Readymade, and I used to love to chase things in New Orleans. I miss living there because of all the critters I could catch. I always ate roaches, and I killed a couple mice, but the best was that day I caught that lizard and really freaked out my dad!
I remember it like yesterday. It was shortly after Mike and Anika took me to live at their house with Meridian and Storm. They loved it when I caught bugs, and this one day I was out in the back yard minding my own business when I saw this scaly-skinned, long-bodied, meaty-lookin' green bug! I snatched him right up, and went to show my dad how good I was, but when he saw me, he wanted to take it! F**k that, I thought to myself, and I ran under the house. Just to show him, I ate it! He was trying to coax me out from under the house the whole time. First he was nice, then he yelled, then he pleaded, but I just sat under there out of reach and chewed on that big (but bitter) bug. He got my mom, and she told him not to worry about it. He was afraid I would get sick, but it was only a little one, and I felt fine. Later I figured I owed him an apology, so when I finished that thing, I came out and said "I'm sorry". He probably wanted some of it, and I hogged it all sitting under the house. That's why when I see those fuzzy grey bugs with the naked tails and funny teeth, I just kill them and leave them for him. He likes it better that way. I gotta' keep 'em happy!

Harmonious Japanese target Patagonia survival
By Alastair Himmer
TOKYO (Reuters) - Four Japanese adventurers have tweaked the nose of fierce seas, unforgiving mountain terrain and hypothermia to enter one of the world's most dangerous races.
The first team from their country brave enough, or mad enough, to enter the hair-raising Patagonian Expedition Race, the Japanese are more concerned about being nice to each other.
"Some of my scariest moments have come when we have had arguments during the race," professional racer Masato Tanaka told Reuters before the brutal nine-day, 600-kilometers test.
"We'll try to avoid that. Our biggest challenge may be the kayaking sections -- I'm a bit nervous about the rough ocean. We will also be careful about hypothermia in the mountains."
Tanaka's sage advice to his three inexperienced team mates comes after two Americans got lost while trekking last year and needed to be rescued by helicopter.
Chile's Tierra del Fuego hosts much of this year's race where survival is the priority for the 16 four-person teams kayaking, trekking and cycling across grueling terrain.
"We have some beginners in our team so we'll take things carefully," said Tanaka before leaving for the high-endurance event that begins on Tuesday.
"This is one of the toughest races in the world so we have to treat it with respect." Continued...

BILLIONAIRE Clive Palmer's plan to dig one of the world's biggest coalmines has been rocked by the cancellation of a contract to buy half the mine's coal.
Mr Palmer's ambitious China First Coal mine has parted ways with a company that had offered to buy coal valued at $40 billion, a Fairfax investigation has revealed.
The loss of the backer sideswipes a project that was labelled ''Australia's biggest export contract'' when Mr Palmer announced it with fanfare alongside the then Queensland premier, Anna Bligh, in 2010.
The setback also puts a spotlight on the contrast between Mr Palmer's fondness for bold statements and the eventual results he achieves.
Yesterday he gave a confusing news conference in which he appeared to back away from his earlier statement that he would run for Liberal National Party preselection in the seat held by federal Treasurer Wayne Swan.
Now one of the original supporters of the central Queensland coal project no longer has a $40 billion contract to buy coal from the mine.
Swiss energy trader Vitol had agreed in 2010 to buy half of China First Coal's production over the next 20 years.
But a spokesman for Vitol wrote this week: ''Vitol confirms that the contract has been terminated.''
The mine, in Queensland's Galilee Basin, would export 40 million tonnes of coal a year if it were to become operational, representing exports of about $80 billion over 20 years.
But it will cost at least $8 billion to build, including the mine, a 500-kilometre rail line and port infrastructure.
In an emailed response, Mr Palmer said the loss of Vitol had ''no impact on the project''.
And he said his company, Resourcehouse, was responsible for terminating the contract.
China Power International Holding (CPI), which had previously agreed to buy the other half of the mine's coal production, ''remains committed to the project'', Mr Palmer said.
Resourcehouse failed in its fourth attempt to raise billions from investors to develop the China First Coal project when it tried to list in Hong Kong last year.
But the agreements with Vitol and CPI were not explicitly conditional on the success of the float, giving the project potential to be revived with their support.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
"That's just my opinion, then again I might be wrong." Dennis Miller
The exact same thing has just happened to me. I utilized the company's "open-door policy". My manager was commiting time fraud. I reported it. I was terminated. I was an at-will employee, but I am determined to fight any way that I can.
Did you find any recourse for your termination? It's been 3 years since you last posted. Please let me know.
For anyone who would like information on At-Will employment and join the cause in abolishing this law, please visit my website at www.NO-AT-WILL.webs.com Together....we CAN make a difference!!!
You realize that if they were to abolish at will in the 49 states that have it, it would run both ways. You would need a reason spelled out in law to quit, not just because you didn't like the job. I don't think you really want to go that way.

March Paranormal and Fantasy Event: The Wolf of Tebron by C.S. Larkin
Read the Prologue at http://www.gatesofheavenseries.com/
Read the reviews!
"If this first installment is any indication, The Gates of Heaven promises to be one of the best fantasy series to come along in quite some time. One of the signs of this potential is its ability to hook you into its world at page one and leave you saying, 'just one more page' or 'just one more chapter,' That has happened to me before with Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising. Now C. S. Lakin has done the same."
~ Jonathon Svendsen, Narniafans.com
"The Wolf of Tebron is a fine take on the fairy tale, highly recommended."
~ Midwest Book Review
"The Wolf of Tebron is a grand, sweeping tale of one man's journey to the truth and to rescue his true love. While I joined the dots fairly early on as to the wolf's true identity as well as what he represents in the story, it is carefully constructed to allow different readers to discover the connections at their own pace. This fanciful, whimsical, wild tale can truly inspire you to perseverance - highly recommended. My personal tip: watch this author, she's going places!"
~ Grace Bridges, Splashdown Reviews
You can read my review at http://childrensandteensbookconnection.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/the-wolf-of-tebron-by-c-s-lakin/.
Lakin's three fantasy novels in the Gates of Heaven series have been contracted with AMG-Living Ink Publishers. The first book in the series, The Wolf of Tebron, released July 2010. The Map across Time (March 2011) and The Land of Darkness (September 2011) are the next installments to follow in this stand-alone series of fairy tales for adults.
Her contemporary mystery, Innocent Little Crimes, made the top one hundred finalists in the 2009 Amazon Breakout Novel Award contest, earning her a Publisher's Weekly review that noted her book was "a page-turning thrill-ride that will have readers holding their breaths the whole way through."
Lakin grew up collating television scripts for her screenwriter mother. As an adult, Susanne assisted in developing series for television, and while raising two daughters and running a bed and breakfast inn in northern California wrote her first three novels and a cookbook. She currently works as a freelance copyeditor and writing mentor, specializing in helping authors prepare their books for publication. She is a member of The Christian PEN (Proofreaders and Editors Network), CEN (Christian Editor Network), San Francisco Editors Guild, CAN (Christian Authors Network—regular blogger), ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers), and two regional writers' groups. She edits for individuals, small publishing companies, and literary agents, guest blogs of the craft of writing, and is an occasional contest judge.
She recently completed her ninth book: Conundrum (her fourth psychological mystery) and her tenth: The Unraveling of Wentwater, book four in the fantasy series. She has also written the first book in a Young Adult sci-fi adventure series: Time Sniffers. She is currently writing Intended for Harm, a contemporary take-off on the biblical story of Jacob and Joseph.

In this episode, we'll be taking a look at the 1985 film Fright Night, a classic horror flick from an era when vampires were actually scary. I'll give a little background about the film and its hard-to-find sequel, Fright Night Part II. Then we'll take a look at the 2011 remake starring Colin Farrell and see how it compares to the original. Finally, I'll give the Fright Night DVD my final recommendation.

If you have an RSS feed, you should (if you haven't already) go set up a Feedburner account and burn that feed. What does Feedburner do, exactly? Well, simply put, it dresses up your RSS feed, gives you greater control over the look and feel and gives you the ability to set-up email subscriptions. Sounds good, doesn't it? Here are some quick tips on how to optimize your Feedburner feed:
- Make it compatible to any feed reader. If it's not activated, you should browse to the Optimize tab and activate the SmartFeed option.
- Give your readers the tools to share your content easily. You can include options to allow the reader of your feed content to email it to others, email the author, share it on Facebook and more. To look at all of the built-in options, navigate to the Optimize tab and then to FeedFlare.
- Allow readers to subscribe to your content via an email subscription. Not everyone "gets" what an RSS feed is (or what the heck to do with it!). In this case, giving those users the option to subscribe to your content via an email that automatically gets sent out whenever you publish new content is preferable. You can even enable options to customize the email address that sends out the emails, the font and color of the email text and more. To see all of the options available for email, click on over to the Publicize tab then Email Subscriptions.
- Make sure your feed is branded! When someone is searching for feeds to subscribe to, make sure yours stands out with your company or blog logo. To add a logo to your feed, you can go to the Optimize tab then select the drop down menu option "Specify custom image URL" in the Feed Image Burner section.
With some quick changes here and there, you can truly make your Feedburner feed stand out above all others!

Open Positions at SWAG Project
The SWAG Project farm team is excited to offer various seasonal internship opportunities this growing season to students and community members interested in taking an initial step into the world of urban farming and community development. Please see the list below and attached descriptions.
– Communications + Social Media Intern: Communications Internship_SWAG 2015
– Market + Farm Intern: Farm and Market Internship_SWAG 2015
– Community Outreach + Volunteer Coordinator: Community Outreach Coordinator_SWAG 2015
Please review the description and send a resume and cover letter with the heading 'Position Name – Your Name' to firstname.lastname@example.com
Although the opportunities are unpaid positions, these experiences will provide participants with a fundamental understanding of key issues in our food system and their relationship to urban agriculture, helping interns to develop and hone the necessary skills and knowledge required for employment in the non-profit, community development and food system sectors. We will work with any student's academic institution to assist the individual in receiving college credit if possible, or pay a small stipend for transportation costs.
#FundSWAG Fundraising Push
Thanks to all of you dear friends, family and partners who donated yesterday to help SWAG Project create stronger communities through food. Because of you we raised over $700 in donations yesterday alone.
This pushed us past our halfway mark of $3000! Please continue to share our fundraiser throughout the next month. We have until the end of March to make our total goal of $6k to fund sustainability and the 2015 season at SWAG. Funding this year will go to supporting new sustainability interns, creation of a new composting program and the construction of a new greenhouse!
And if you haven't already, PLEASE Donate to the project – $25, $50, $100 – any amount helps continue our food justice and community development efforts in Newark and beyond! To donate, follow this link: http://bit.ly/SWAG_IOBY #fundSWAG
Heros in Our Backyard!
Last year, SWAG Project was chosen by ioby as one of their 2014 Hero projects. This lovely video, made by Good Eye Video, gives an overview of our community development and local food project and it's goals. We are incredibly thankful to ioby for highlighting our work, for helping us raise funds to continue making our neighborhood a more livable and lively place, and for making us a part of the creation of this short film. Were also incredibly thankful to all the local community members and partners who have made SWAG what it is!
Below is the blog published by ioby as part of the 'Hero' highlight, we hope you enjoy!
And please remember to support sustainability at SWAG through this years ioby fundraiser here.
Last year, we started cooking up a video series designed to feature some of the real heroes of the ioby community – projects and leaders we wanted to set squarely in the limelight, and hold up as role models and as inspiration. Among those we featured was SWAG of Newark: a thriving urban community farm that today educates around 700 local students per year, sells wonderful fresh produce at its own market, and has become a source of great pride and pleasure in the South Ward of Newark. The farm has even served as a wonderful resource for the unemployed or underemployed who seek a creative, confidence-building, social outlet while they search for new work.
In fact, so much has happened at SWAG since the video went into production – not least of all their latest ioby campaign, to which you can still donate here – that we wanted to accompany the video's release with a little update. Here's where they are now:
The last year has seen SWAG delve deeper than ever into an analysis of what sustainability means for the farm, and for the South Ward community. Becoming sustainable with a capital "S" will mean closing loops on environmental impact, on financial self-reliance, and in terms of community leadership. SWAG co-founder Alexandra Payne is thrilled about the developments on all three.
"In a lot of smaller communities that are poor communities," says Payne, "you see these big ups and downs in how well projects work based on funding or based on how well things are going in the city or based on these small pots of money that are available. What this sustainability project is partially about doing is making it possible for the farm to continue its basic operations without having to worry about that. So without having to worry about issues like where will our seed money come from every year, or can we afford to buy seedlings and supplies, or can we afford that outside organic fertilizer, or can we afford to pay the neighbor for water? Can we afford local interns?"
How will SWAG close those loops? Well, first, they'll make their own soil, for free. Plans are in the works for two huge new compost bins will turn organic farm waste into fresh soil for next year. "For a quarter-acre farm," says Payne, "you do need a decent amount of soil additives to keep soil healthy, and we prefer not to buy those, not have them all be purchased cow manure or mushroom compost. We prefer to make them because you get a better mix of components, and because it means that we can do it right on farm and have more of a closed loop." Second, a hoop-house for germinating seedlings will go up in the fall, so that SWAG won't have to look to expensive nurseries at the start of each growing season. Taken together, these two new initiatives will mean greater security through the unpredictable ebbs and flows of external funding.
Another hugely important part of SWAG's vision for its sustainable future is that they be able to afford to pay local interns. Some of the interns they've had have come back year after year, both shaping the project and being shaped by it – even choosing college majors according to new passions they discovered on the farm. "It's really great for us to have interns who can really run small pieces of the project," says Payne, "and who feel comfortable leading the classes and who when they're at the market can talk to people about 'this is why we're doing this and these are our goals' and who can really start to internalize that and see the project as their own."
But Payne and the SWAG Team don't want those dedicated interns to have to choose between the farm and earning money. Starting with their current ioby campaign and moving forward, she plans to offer interns a stipend, as well as lunches and travel reimbursements. "We really want to invest in interns from the local community," she says.
As part of that transition toward even stronger community-directed leadership, Payne would like to see volunteer numbers going up, so that each person takes on fewer hours. "Like a co-op," she says, so that the joy of the work spreads further, but the burden for each person is lighter, reducing burnout.
Meanwhile, an exciting transition is afoot at the farm. Payne and her team are readying the farm for a passing of the baton, in terms of leadership. SWAG belongs, she says, to the South Ward community, and that is where its future leaders will be found. "We're there to give some direction and help raise funds and help people dream about what the farm could be, and in the future I'd love to step back and have a group of residents and students who've been there really take the day to day reigns of the project," Payne says.
She and her team plan to step back a bit, starting this spring – very slowly and consciously, of course – and she's excited to start talking about where the first satellite projects might pop up. They already have small satellites in Baltimore and outside of Philly, and want to continue to expand in the model of SWAG. "I don't think we ever see ourselves not being a part of those projects; I just think it's important at a community level to have them be very community directed. So once it's stable and on its feet, that's what I see happening."

I don't have a dream proposal, but I don't want a public one. Lol. Too awkward.
If I got asked right now, my boyfriend would have to ask my stepfather, because of his culture. And I would want him to get down on one knee.
Would I propose? Hmmm. Idk. Lol. I like the traditional. I always joke around with my boyfriend and ask him to marry me. But if I were going to ask him for real, I wouldn't get on one knee. I would ask him if we were laying down in the grass, or at the beach next to eachother. And i'd casually bring it up, nothing too dramatic.
I'd feel like a guy if I got down on one knee. :P

Discover the beauty of the fairy of the Dolomites
Just over the border in Val di Fiemme, the first town you come to is Moena, the largest of all the Val di Fassa and the first "Alpine Pearls" of Trentino. Moena was born on an alluvial basin surrounded by some of the most important features of the Dolomites, such as the Latemar, Valaccia and Costalunga passes. Known in Italy and in the world as the "Fairy of the Dolomites", the legacy of an ancient legend starring King Laurin and his daughter, owes its charm to the fairy-tale pink colour that covers the peaks surrounding it. The area is extremely pleasant aesthetically and retains the classic Alpine style combined with a certain sophistication. A holiday in Val di Fassa, Moena is ideal for sports shopping, but that's not all, as this picturesque village also has some very well-preserved architectural gems for visitors, like the tabià walk to discover the typical rustic buildings made entirely of wood.
Moena in Val di Fassa is also gastronomy: its typical cheese "Puzzone Moena" is part of the slow food movement and there are also many events dedicated to food such as Dinner with King Laurin in the winter and Flavours of Autumn in September.
During the summer, the most important sporting event is dedicated to bikers: Val di Fassa Bike, which has more than 4,500 participants each summer, making it the largest bike marathon in Italy. In winter, the most famous event is the Marcialonga, the top international marathon race organized for over thirty years with unparalleled success. Those who enjoy skiing can take advantage of the nearby Tre Valle Ski Area, which takes skiers to the peaks of Alpe di Lusia and the San Pellegrino Pass.
The Val di Fassa, which preserves the village of Moena as a precious treasure, is nestled in an alpine landscape of rare beauty that led to its inclusion as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Both in winter and in summer, Val di Fassa offers the best for sports fanatics: 9 ski areas with 200 kilometres of pistes divided into 78 stations, more than 70 kilometres devoted to cross-country skiing and fantastic hiking in the area of Cima Bocche, to the lakes of Lusia, delle Selle Pass and San Pellegrino Passes, where there are still trenches and fortifications from WWI battles fought in the Dolomites.

Attic insulation
Hey guys new to the site hope i'm posting in the right spot.i want to spray exrta insulation in the attic rent the machine from home depo and do my self my problem is that my roof overhangs my deck and there is no insulation in that spot there really ain"t no need for any insulation there i was wondering if i should build a wall out of riggit insulation in the attic to close that off before i spray any ideas would be great i live in cambridge ontario and it gets cold here.
The overhangs need to be left open to allow cool air in as the hot air is expelled through the attic vents at the ridge. You want to install baffles in all the rafter bays so you don't seal the openings.
I just tackled this project myself this past weekend.
I have a wall of the family room that seperates my attached garage. The ceiling of the FR is accessed via the garage. The garage is unconditioned and could equate to an outdoor space. What I did was made sure I blew in about R60 over the FR ceiling. Then I overlapped 12 inches into the garage attic area. I stapled some left over material I had to create a wall to keep the loose fill insulation in place so it just wasn't spilling into the garage attic. This way I felt I was overlapping where the interior ceiling and garage attic meet. The previous insulation stopped exactly where the top plate of the wall would be.
I took about 2 hours the day before to added all my baffles, box out other fixtures I needed too and added the "insulation measuring guide" all around the attic. I had some cathedral ceilings and man it was a pain to get some baffles in. It was well worth the prep the day before though.
HD rents the Attic Cat unit here in Michigan for the whole day if you buy 10 bags of insulation. I simply bought the product and took the machine home the night before so I was ready first thing in the morning. Took me less than 3 hours to add and additional R30 to about 1300 sq.ft. I would also buy several extra bags in case you need them. You can always return.
Have fun.. oh I also picked up a painters suit (8 bucks). 1 piece, light paper suit you can just take off and toss out when your done.
To the OP, and as others have mentioned, yes, put up your insulation panels to block off the overhang over the deck.
Just make sure you allow for insulation to cover the top plate of the wall below. See the "pink" in the last photo. And as that picture shows, you should end up with air flow through the soffit and and up the baffels (or as its labeled in the pic, "Air Chute") and out the ridge vent.
There is no need to crib it up with rigid foam insulation. This stuff is expensive!
You could make a crib from a sheet of mahogony panelling, for instance! Cut a 4X8 sheet into 2, 2X8 sheets!

First, I read all the laws regarding what and where I can carry. So, please don't quote the laws.
What I am after is the local LEO attitude toward concealed carry, especially one who is from out of their state. ( yes, I have a Florida resident permit)
The areas which I will primarily be in are Suffolk, Va and Williamston, N.C. I know in NC I can open carry, but choose to carry concealed.

I mean, come on – representing human beings and animals with colored or labeled blocks of wood? What kind of representation is that? These were real, live people involved in this, not slabs of oak or maple or poplar or what-have-you.
Talk about de-humanizing the whole message.
And you can imagine my reaction when I saw this abomination:
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Joseph and Larry, the Holy Family.
Cross-eyed and infuriated doesn't cover it, my friends. And it just gets worse – here's the
True, it may not be biblically accurate – but neither is having the holy family dressed in Mexican folk costume, or even having the shepherds and wise men at the scene at the same time. And it was an immaculate conception after all.I'm surprised the author admits that Jesus was born of a virgin.
Look, it doesn't matter if the figures in the crèche are dressed in modern garb, or 'Mexican folk costume', or whatever; it doesn't matter that there were no wise men at the birth (though there's a good argument that the shepherds showed up); it doesn't matter whether there were animals present; it doesn't really even matter if Jesus was born in a stable, a sheep-pen, a cave, or somebody's spare room where they kept their livestock. All of that stuff is peripheral to the story of Christmas. What is not peripheral - in fact, what is central to the story - is that for Jesus to be truly God and truly man, He had to be born of a woman. Sorry, folks, but neither Joseph nor Larry, there, had the requisite equipment to gestate a baby (it couldn't be said of either Joseph or Larry that either could 'conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus' (Luke 1:31)).
Having sheep, goats, cows, wise men, a stable, a rock cave, a back-room - none of that is blasphemy.
Joseph and Larry? That's some blasphemy right there.
God really doesn't appreciate that kind of thing:
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. (Galatians 6:7)

Father's Day with a special father figure
PALM DESERT, Calif. - As a volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert, Nan Lanrose wants to show her "littles" the good in the world.
"When Savannah was born, she was only one pound. She was premature. She has turned out to be just so intelligent and amazing," Nan said.
Nan's other "little", Violet, is in foster care, hoping to get adopted by the same woman who adopted Savannah.
Despite all the ways Nan has impacted the girls over the past few years, though, something is still missing.
"I'm not a man," she said.
If you ever wonder how much a father figure figures, look at the person in Nan's life who she says the girls really cling to.
"My son is 21. He is really great with kids," Nan said.
Just two minutes with Justin and the girls and you can see how they're drawn to him.
"It's special to think they see me in that light. It makes me want to do everything right to show them there are better things," Justin said.
Neither of the girls have ever known their dads. Through Nan's volunteerism, Justin has stepped into that role model.
