Benefits combined are worth about 30 percent of your total compensation package, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They cost employers an average of $8.81 per hour worked in December 2008.
Suppose you're offered an annual salary of $50,000. Your benefits package would theoretically be worth more than $15,000, so your total compensation would be valued at roughly $65,000.
Take a look at how much your benefits package adds to your overall compensation, based on the Department of Labor's most recent estimates.

TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
- While working water safety on Lake Nocona recently, a Montague County Game Warden received a call concerning a boating accident on Lake Amon G. Carter. A bass boat headed back to the ramp from a morning of fishing fatally struck a 13-year-old boy being pulled on a tube behind another boat. There were two boys being pulled on two separate tubes. The other boy escaped uninjured. Wise and Jack county wardens assisted with the investigation. No charges have been filed, and the investigation is ongoing.
Justice Served
- Full moon patrols were conducted on Lake Fork during the night recently in order to check fishermen for compliance. Apprehensions included 12 for improper navigation lights, 18 for fishing violations, and 23 for other water safety violations.
- Recently, one of the three suspects involved in the shooting incident with Tyler County Game Warden Trey Shewmake on March 17 was convicted in District Court of Angelina County of attempted capital murder and two counts of aggravated assault on a Texas Peace Officer. The second suspect involved was convicted in District Court in Angelina County for Aggravated Assault on a Peace Officer.
- Montgomery County Game Wardens organized a water-safety patrol operation on Lake Conroe. The two-day operation yielded more than 40 citations being issued.
- Recently, a Washington County Game Warden organized a water-safety patrol operation on Lake Somerville. "Team Sport Racing" had scheduled two days of Personal Watercraft racing on the lake. There were 33 citations issued over the two-day period.
Part of the Community
- Lubbock County Game Warden Quentin Terrel and Capt. Rick Gully received certificates of appreciation from Attorney General Greg Abbott for their participation in a task force to roundup individuals delinquent in child support.
- Game Wardens Robert Levens, Keith Gerth, Jeff Hill, Chris Wilson and Jerry Gordon presented a "hands-on" Boater Education class to 25 State 4-H students at Lake Buchanan Dam. The wardens instructed the students in water safety, boat operation, and Personal Watercraft operations and let the kids operate the vessels with the instructors.
- Game Wardens participated in the West Texas Outdoor Camp sponsored by Game Warden Robert Newman. Forty kids were taken to the Buffalo Trail Boy Scott Camp in the scenic Ft. Davis Mountains, near Balmorhea. The cost of the camp and transportation were provided by the Texas Game Warden Association and other generous sponsors. The camp is a one-week instructional camp with courses in shotgun, archery, fishing, boating, climbing, hiking, horseback riding, and much more. Emphasis is placed on safety and responsibility. It is a joint endeavor of the Texas Game Warden Association and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
- By now Brazoria County Game Wardens are probably tired of seeing alligators. As of Aug.1, game wardens there had have responded to and dealt with more than 300 documented nuisance alligator calls in Fiscal Year 2004.
From the Files of the Genius Violators
- Recently, Game Wardens arrested a subject for Boating While Intoxicated on Lake Lewisville. The subject refused to provide a breath specimen. When asked how much he had been drinking, he responded, "Probably too much." Case pending.
- A Grayson County Game Warden cited a Denison man for killing a timber rattlesnake after the man had his picture with the snake put in the local newspaper. The suspect was quoted in the paper as saying, "The only good snake is a dead snake." The timber rattlesnake is listed as a threatened species in Texas. Parks and Wildlife regulations prohibit the taking, possession, transportation, or sale of any animal species designated by state law as endangered or threatened without the issuance of a permit. Case pending.
- Denton County Game Wardens arrested a Valley View man for Boating While Intoxicated on Lake Ray Roberts. The subject submitted a breath sample of .113 Blood Alcohol Content. While being interviewed, the subject was asked if he had any pills or injections. He responded, "No, but I smoked some weed." Case pending.
- A Freestone County Game Warden responded to an 'Operation Game Thief' hunting call in Navarro County. The warden found five students shooting skeet on a lighted range. To enhance their shooting ability, the men were drinking beer and smoking marijuana. One of the subjects attempted to ditch his stash of dope by throwing it out of his vehicle. The warden easily identified the owner of the marijuana since the subject's name was written on the bag. Cases are pending.

Interstate 40 & Raleigh Chapel-Hill Expy
Site Search
Raleigh, N.C. The driver killed in a bus wreck on Interstate 40 in Raleigh Monday is former Wolfpack basketball standout Lorenzo Charles, WRAL News has learned.
Charles, 47, led North Carolina State University to victory with a game-winning dunk in the 1983 NCAA Championship game against the University of Houston. He had a brief career in the National Basketball Association with the Atlanta Hawks in the mid-80s.
No other vehicles were involved in the wreck and no passengers were believed to be on the bus at the time, said Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue.
Charles was a driver for Elite Coach, a limo, charter bus and car service based in Apex. A spokesman for the company said the bus was headed to Durham to pick up passengers and that Charles had recently passed a medical exam.
The wreck happened around 5 p.m. on I-40 West near the N.C. Highway 54 interchange, closing two lanes of traffic and the entrance ramp from Chapel Hill Road for several hours.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

1,000 Years of European Borders-In 3 Minutes
I've always loved history. More people should. Perhaps we'd not be so quick to repeat it. This video gives you a look at just how radically Europe's borders have changed in just 1,000 years. It's almost scary when you realize how much war has been waged in that part of the world. I'm afraid there is much, much more to come. Take 3 minutes and learn a few things you may not have covered in school.

The slit-lamp examination looks at structures that are at the front of the eye.
The slit-lamp is a low-power microscope combined with a high-intensity light source that can be focused as a thin beam.
You will sit in a chair with the instrument placed in front of you. You will be asked to rest your chin and forehead on a support to keep your head steady.
The health care provider will examine your eyes, especially the eyelids, cornea, conjunctiva, sclera, and iris. Often a yellow dye (fluorescein) is used to help examine the cornea and tear layer. The dye is either added as an eyedrop. Or the provider may touch a fine strip of paper stained with the dye to the white of your eye. The dye rinses out of the eye with tears as you blink.
Next, drops may be placed in your eyes to widen (dilate) your pupils. The drops take about 15 to 20 minutes to work. The slit-lamp examination is then repeated using another small lens held close to the eye, so the back of the eye can be examined.
No special preparation is needed for this test.
Your eyes will be sensitive to light for a few hours after the exam if dilating drops are used.
This test is used to examine the:
Structures in the eye are found to be normal.
The slit lamp exam may detect many diseases of the eye, including:
This list does not include all possible diseases of the eye.
The dilating drops may cause increased pressure in the eye with nausea and pain. This is very rare, but you should return to your doctor's office right away if you experience either of these symptoms.

Three hospices of which Max Clifford was a patron, have told how they no longer wish to be associated with the PR guru.
Clifford, 71, of Onslow Road, Hersham, was found guilty of eight indecent assaults earlier today.
Following the verdict at Southwark Crown Court this afternoon, Nigel Harding, CEO of Woking and Sam Beare Hospices, said: "The charity of Woking and Sam Beare Hospices has noted the decision of the court today and will be informing Mr Clifford that we no longer wish him to act as a patron for the charity."
Clifford became a patron of the two hospices in 2009 and since his verdicts were delivered this afternoon, the hospices have removed all trace of the Hersham resident from their website.
Clifford was also a patron of Shooting Star Chase childrens hospice.
In a statement, David Burland, chief executive of Shooting Star Chase, said: "Max Clifford became a patron of Shooting Star Chase children's hospice in 2011. Prior to this, he was a supporter of Chase hospice care for children.
"Safeguarding the children and families supported by Shooting Star Chase is of upmost importance. None of our patrons have unsupervised access to the children or young people and all staff with access to children undergo disclosure and barring services checks.
"Furthermore all staff are required to attend a yearly mandatory safeguarding children training session.
"In light of Mr Clifford being found guilty of indecent assault, Shooting Star Chase can confirm that Mr Clifford is no longer a patron of the charity."
The children's charity has also since removed all mentions of Clifford from their website.
Speaking after the verdicts, Jenny Hopkins, deputy chief crown prosecutor for Crown Prosecution Service London, said: "Today's verdicts provide a long-denied justice to the victims of serious sexual offences. I would like to thank these victims for having had the courage to come forward and give evidence.
"The victims of sexual abuse, whenever it may have taken place, should know that police and prosecutors will listen.
"It is only right that we now take some time to consider our position on the hung count and we will update the court accordingly."

Our Salinas, Calif., reporter Mike Hornick sent in a picture of a billboard beside a highway in his area.
"Supersize This," the sign read, next to what resembled a french fry sleeve with the Foxy organic label on it that was filled with celery sticks.
It caught Mike's eye and made me smile too.
The "Supersize This" campaign is set to run through 2013 in New Jersey, Boston and Buffalo, N.Y., said Matt Seeley, vice president of marketing with The Nunes Co., a Salinas-based vegetable grower-shipper that markets under the Foxy brand.
The campaign seems a nice riff on the 2004 movie "Super Size Me" but not as preachy.
I appreciate the touch of attitude.
We often seem so afraid of alienating someone somewhere that it is nice to see something with an understated piquant taste of snark. A touch is enough.
"We tried to have a little fun with it and have a little edge," Seeley said.
Billboards are a key element of marketing plans at The Nunes Co., Seeley said.
Television and radio advertising is expensive, he said, and the impact so fleeting.
"We've stuck with outdoor advertising — you can't turn it off," he said.
The billboards are concentrated in key locations. In Boston, for instance, commuters and others see them along Interstate 93, which cuts right through the heart of the city. This reaches a wide swath of potential consumers of Foxy products.
It reaches a group of potential consumers that, say, advertising on subways or bus routes could not.
I wonder what marketing of organics can suggest to marketers of conventionally grown produce.
In November, The Packer published an Organics Marketing special section. In it, Simcha Weinstein, director of marketing for Albert's Organics, Bridgeport, N.J., said people don't just buy a product.
"They buy the concept of what that product will do for them or help them do for themselves," Weinstein told The Packer's Melissa Shipman.
So when people buy organic products they are buying more than just organically grown fruits and vegetables.
They are buying a sustainable future for themselves, their families and future generations, he said.
Yes, I tend to agree.
Is that a lot to read into a billboard with two words and a picture placed in key locations? And a smidge of attitude.
And, of course, advertising the product of a competitor for Weinstein's company.
No, it scratches the surface.
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.

This isn't the first time that we've had a Ford Flex in the Car Tech garage. However, the boxy beasts are so rare in the areas surrounding CNET's San Francisco offices that it's easy to forget how large and imposing this vehicle is in the sheet metal. So, I was taken aback when I rounded a corner of the Car Tech garage and was greeted by the wide and long hunk of steel that is the 2013 Ford Flex SEL AWD.
Boxy body and storage space
Depending on where you're getting your information, the Flex is either a gigantic wagon, a large crossover, or an SUV with lower-than-average ground clearance. Long, low, and wide, the Flex's true nature is betrayed by its underpinnings, the D4 platform, which it shares with the Ford Explorer, fairly solidly planting this vehicle in the crossover class as far as I'm concerned.
Visually, the Flex makes heavy use of 90-degree angles in its design with a very upright green house and flattened ends that are contrasted with long horizontal accent lines that run down the sides of the vehicles and across its grille and liftgate. To my eye, she looks something like the offspring of a Mini Cooper, a Land Rover LR4, and -- thanks to our tester's ginger ale metallic green paint -- a large dill pickle.
The boxy shape allows plenty of room for passengers, and the Flex seats up to seven passengers in its standard configuration. However, opt for the $100 second-row console and that capacity drops to six seats.
If you're not transporting a Partridge family's worth of people, the Flex also offers a massive amount of configurable storage space. With all of the seats in their upright position, you've got 20 cubic feet for your groceries and the like. Fold the third row flat and you've got 43.2 cubic feet -- about enough space for a bike or other sports equipment. Fold the second row flat and you've got a massive 83.2 cubic feet of space behind the driver's seat, so you could actually fit a medium-size refrigerator inside of your refrigerator-shaped Flex if you needed to.
Our Flex was equipped with a power liftgate that came as part of a 202A value equipment package. However, the Flex's liftgate is not hands-free like the ones that you get on the 2013 Escape and C-Max. I'd like to see that option added at some point in the Flex's future.
With all of that vehicle hanging out behind the driver's seat, you're probably going to need some tech to help you avoid backing it into something. The rearview camera isn't standard, but it should be. Ours came as part of the aforementioned 202A package and included audible rear proximity detection. That same package included Ford's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), which is another must-have for congested city driving. This system watches the blind spots at the rear quarters of the vehicle for obstructions at highway speeds and beeps if you attempt to merge into another car. BLIS also features a Cross Traffic Alert system that audibly notifies the driver of vehicles approaching from the sides when reversing the Flex's big ol' booty out of a parking space.
Drivers who want help with parallel-parking the long and low Flex should step up to the Limited trim level and option the automaker's amazing Active Park Assist system, which largely automates the shuffling of the Flex into streetside parking by taking over the electronic power-steering rack after using the BLIS system's sonar sensors to automatically measure out a properly sized space. We've seen this system in action in the Ford Focus Titanium, Ford Escape Titanium, and various Lincoln models, so check out those reviews for more details.
Finally, as part of that same 202A package our Flex SEL featured an optional panoramic vista roof that opens up the second and third rows to a bit more sunlight.
Cabin tech
Settle into the Ford Flex SEL's 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat and you'll be greeted first by the MyFord instrumentation sitting just ahead of you. This mostly digital gauge cluster features only one physical dial, for the speedometer. Flanking the speedo are a pair of color LCDs that can display a customizable amount of auxiliary data. The left screen is home to the fuel economy and trip computer data, while the right screen is where you'll find data relevant to the current audio source, hands-free call, or turn-by-turn navigation information, if so equipped. These screens are controlled by a pair of directional pads on the steering wheel and are surprisingly intuitive, giving access to a ton of data -- or a bare minimum of it.
Ford Sync is the Flex's voice command system for hands-free calling and audio playback from a connected USB drive (MP3) or iPod device, and is standard on the Flex SEL. However, our model was equipped with the Sync with MyFord Touch system, which places a large, 8-inch LCD at the top of the center stack.
This interface is familiar to us and features a four-quadrant layout with persistent touchable shortcuts at the screen's four corners for the phone system or navigation or vehicle information depending on the option chosen, climate controls, and audio and entertainment sources. The phone options bear further exploration here because, in addition to the standard hands-free calling system with Sync's excellent voice command, MyFord Touch adds the options to have incoming text messages read aloud while you drive, for canned SMS responses to be fired off to incoming callers and texters, and for a Do Not Disturb mode to prevent any of that from distracting you while you drive.

MIKE Hussey's abrupt retirement signals the end of the apprenticeships for Australia's batsmen, opener Ed Cowan has declared, and left them nowhere to hide during challenging tours of India and England.
Cowan will miss more than Hussey's runs, having identified with the fine attention to detail in his preparation and appreciated his warm welcome to the dressing room when he entered it one year ago.
But the combined experience of Ricky Ponting and Hussey, which amounts to 246 Tests and 19,561 runs leading into the latter's SCG swansong, cannot be replaced.
Cowan said their sudden departures, within a month of each other, had left the emerging batsmen in the team with no option but to lift their games on the most demanding of tours.
''We don't really have a choice, do we? I think it's called the deep end. It's the way it's going to have to be,'' Cowan said.
''Some of us have done 12 months which is, I guess, a nice apprenticeship, and there comes a time when you become fully accountable. There's certainly nowhere to hide in Test cricket, and now more so than ever.''
Captain Michael Clarke, the only Australian who has outscored Hussey this year, will be the only batsman entrenched in the team when he has gone.
Hussey also leaves a leadership void, as he had been pencilled in as vice-captain for the third Test against Sri Lanka before quietly breaking the news of his retirement to Clarke and coach Mickey Arthur in the dressing room on Friday night.
''Like Ricky, he's the ultimate professional and has set standards in regard to not only performance on the field but preparation off it,'' Cowan said.
''It's up to the rest of us to let that be their legacy and continue to prepare well. We're obviously going to have to, particularly the batsmen, lift our work rate in terms of pure output. That is up to us now.''
The loss of a No. 6 batsman who averages 80 this summer not only pulls the safety net from underneath the top order but sends a rallying call to the next echelon of first-class batsmen.
Although Usman Khawaja is notionally next in line, the departure of the team's two most experienced players could persuade the selectors to pick a proven century maker such as David Hussey for the Ashes.
Former Australian captain Mark Taylor applauded Hussey for leaving the game at his peak, but said his retirement would make the series in India and England more difficult.
''The batting order is weakened, no doubt, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. It's up to Australian cricket, and up to the young guys out there, to become the next Mike Hussey,'' Taylor said.
''There's been too much of, 'we need this guy because we've got no one else.' That's rubbish. The bottom line is someone will fill that spot, it's up to that person to grab it. Then if he doesn't grab it, it's up to the next person.''
For his part, Hussey expects Australia will be just fine without him. ''I'm not worried about the team whatsoever. We've got some fantastic candidates to come in - probably too many to name,'' Hussey said, then named one. ''Maybe David Hussey could get a run - one Hussey out, one Hussey in.''

I dunno about turkey, I haven't seen them run an article on anything but big game.
When I emailed HF a pic of Christy's Montana buck last fall, they pretty quickly asked for an article, so we kinda knew from the get go it would make it. We usually get a pic or two a year that makes it in the magazine. We typically spend about a half an hour to an hour photographing the animal in various poses. The pics really make the memories :-)

Good luck to all other players!

Manoel de Oliveira, the oldest active director in film history, will be 105 years young on December 11, 2013.
As I wrote in Film Quarterly 66.2 (Winter 2012), "Manoel de Oliveira remarked on the occasion of his 103rd birthday two years ago that 'whether we like it or not, it [death] will come one day, but generally people are not in a hurry, and I personally have never been in a hurry in my life; this is perhaps why I reached this age.'
At 105, the Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira is the oldest living filmmaker still actively working within the industry, and also the filmmaker with the longest career in the cinema, having directed films since 1927, beginning with a tantalizing project on the First World War that was never completed. His first real project was completed in 1931.
If you consider that 1927 project Oliveira's baptism in the cinema, then he's been a director for 87 years – longer than most of us manage simply to stay alive. During all this time, he's developed a style that is so uniquely his own as to be instantly identifiable, something like the rigorousness of Straub and Huillet with a more emotional and less didactic edge, but nevertheless still challenging for most viewers.
But the good news is that the world has finally caught up with Manoel de Oliveira after nearly a century's worth of work; at last, he's being acknowledged as an absolute master of the cinema. And he has a project in the works for 2014 – long live Manoel!"

Izturis' walk-off single gives Reds improbable win
Bruce doubles in two during three-run rally in 13th
CINCINNATI -- The Reds have tasted wins of various flavors during a strong homestand thus far -- from crisply pitched games to routs, to extra innings and even a suspended game that had to be picked up the following day.
But Monday's 5-4 victory over the Cubs in 13 innings required an added dash of fortitude. Struggling Chicago, now 5-13 and without a road win since April 4, broke a 2-2 tie on Luis Valbuena's two-run homer in the top of the 13th only to see Cincinnati win it in the bottom half with three runs.
It was all capped by Cesar Izturis' walk-off single that scored Jay Bruce with two outs.
"It almost had our hearts torn out in the top of the 13th. We'll take it," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "That's just a team that keeps fighting back and fighting back. I kept telling them after that home run, 'We haven't lost this game yet.'"
The 4-hour, 35-minute game had the Reds beating themselves at times, especially after three late errors -- though a pair of two-out miscues in the top of the 10th did not come back to haunt. But then Welington Castillo led off the top of the 13th against Alfredo Simon with a routine grounder to third that went right between the legs of Todd Frazier.
Next up was Valbuena, who attacked a 2-0 pitch over the heart of the plate and sent it over the fence in right for a two-run homer.
"We didn't play a pretty game. It was an ugly game, really," Baker said.
In the bottom of the 13th, Xavier Paul lined a leadoff single to right against Cubs reliever Michael Bowden. Brandon Phillips flared a one-out double just out of reach of sliding right fielder Dave Sappelt to put runners on second and third.
Bruce, who led off the seventh with his first home run of the season, lined a two-run double through the gap in right-center field to give himself three RBIs and re-tie the game.
"I was waiting for a pitch I could handle," Bruce said. "You have an idea what he throws and an idea of what he was trying to do to me."
Cubs manager Dale Sveum had considered walking Bruce with first base open.
"I didn't want to put the winning run on the base and he hadn't been swinging that good anyway," Sveum said.
Frazier's check-swing groundout to second advanced Bruce to third. On a 1-1 pitch, Izturis lined an outside fastball for a single into left field to end it. As Bruce crossed home plate, teammates mobbed Izturis near first base.
"I was just thinking up the middle and trying to get a base hit," Izturis said. "It was a long night for everybody. It was a good moment."
The win put the Reds at 7-1 on their homestand with two games remaining against Chicago. It was also their second 13-inning win in three days.
"To have the wind out of your sails a little and come back and not give up, that says a lot about our team," Bruce said. "It was huge. These things never get old. The walk-offs and everything like that are always a ton of fun."
One constant the Reds have gotten throughout the recent stretch is quality pitching. Mike Leake made it seven quality starts in eight games for the rotation, as he gave up two runs over seven innings.
In the ninth inning, Aroldis Chapman struck out the side. J.J. Hoover inherited a bases-loaded, two-out jam from Sam LeCure and escaped with a lineout in the 11th, and returned to strike out the side in the 12th.
Cincinnati's pitchers combined for 16 strikeouts, which gave the staff at least 10 strikeouts in five-straight games -- the first time the team has achieved that feat since 1900.
However, the Reds were faced with a dilemma had the game remained tie. Baker had burned through most of the bench and had exhausted most of his bullpen. Starter Homer Bailey was poised to pinch-hit for Simon in the 13th had the ninth spot in the order come back up.
"I'm worn out from thinking," Baker said. "We were double-switching and trying to keep the pitcher in the game as long as we could. We were about to run out of them. It was a great one to win. That's one of the great comebacks I have ever seen. That's what you call a reverse takedown. That was some victory."

Regal 2860 Window Express — By Capt. Bill Pike
— April 2006
Light Show
Want a bright, open ambiance below decks? Check out this stylish express cruiser.
So I'm a boat nut, and for no good reason other than my inalienable right to pursue happiness in these United States, I took the 2860 out for an impromptu spin later in the day, after I had finished the official test. Sea conditions were different—messy, confused three-footers prevailed, not two-footers. And guess what? The boat felt different, too. Where the morning's smoother sea state had favored sporting crisply around at the top of the rpm register, rougher conditions were now keeping me well within the midrange, a realm that seemed less oomphy and responsive by comparison.
I've been a fan of Faria Instruments since the company rapidly replaced a defunct dashboard gauge for me some years ago based on a mere phone call. My intuition at the time was that the customer-service guy I called had no idea I worked for a marine magazine.
SPOTLIGHT ON | Diesel vs. Gas
While shooting the breeze with Randy Gills, Regal's manager of propulsion engineering, about the 2860, some rather compelling information came to light regarding the testing that Regal performed on the boat. The company ran numbers on two identical 2860s with different propulsion pack-
ages: one a set of 160-hp Volvo Penta D3-160/DuoProp diesel stern drives, the other a set of 225-hp Volvo Penta 4.3/DuoProp gasoline stern drives. The complete findings are too lengthy to go into here, but the highlights are intriguing.

Southern California is home to a prominent group of pastors with hearts truly on fire for God. However, mixed among these diligent servants of the Lord is a small, destructive cadre who poses as godly leaders without caring for the spiritual wellbeing of their flocks.
Serving message after empty-calorie message concerning the material trappings of the world, their preaching provides 'Exhibit A' examples of sermons that are 'all sizzle and no steak.' But these misguided ministries are not all the pastors' fault. With pressure from influential trustees, deacon boards, and congregations more interested in quenching their fleshly appetites than their spiritual ones, pastors are often only giving the people what they want.
Under the guise of 'more' being 'better,' some pastors try to become 'all things to all people.' In so doing, their congregations never learn that while varied preaching styles and ecclesiastical temperaments can exist, God's message must remain uncompromised, never bending to the times, but rather, the times bending to it.
Christ never expected His message to appeal to everyone. In fact, Jesus meant for His word to provoke division between His disciples and Satan's. But with some pastors presiding over glorified social clubs, one can hardly distinguish between the Church and the world.
Consequently, some souls that hunger for spiritual nourishment figure, 'The Church can't help me when there's as much #!?%& going on there as in the world.' For this reason, disciples of Jesus must keep God's 'Main Thing', the main thing.
What is God's 'Main Thing?' Sacrifice in obedience to God, and in service to His people. Not a happy message for those living only to satisfy their flesh. For them, repeated sermons concerning 'money cometh' are much to be preferred.
Consumed by an unquenchable thirst for things, it never occurs to materialistic Christians that while they possess the promise of salvation, they have no spiritual power in the 'here and now' to obtain the material trappings they recklessly charge to God.
And because they don't keep God's 'Main Thing' the main thing by, "…seeking first the Kingdom of God…(and all these things shall be added unto you"– Matthew 6:33), they constrain God's desire to add the other 'things' to them.
Why did God say, "… think of others as better than yourselves." (Philippians 2:3), and Jesus, "…it is more blessed to give than receive." (Acts 20:35)? So that we'd be able to experience, 'The joy of the Lord.'
That's 'JOY' as in Jesus first, others second, and yourself last. When Christ returns, He won't care about the size of our homes, cars or bank accounts, only how we used them to feed, shelter, and transport the less fortunate that they too may hear about the good news of the 'Joy' of the Lord.

Publisher's Description▼▲
What is the most effective way to grow a church? It's not a new methodology or cultural outreach strategy, it's...the Word of God. In this book, Jonathan Leeman wants you to realize that the Word, working through God's Spirit, is responsible for the growth of God's church and we need to trust it! Leeman not only informs and equips the leadership of local churches for greatest effectiveness in their preaching ministry but explains how to translate that into the life of the church throughout the week. The book also deals with two errors - not trusting the Word (resulting in a pragmatic ministry philosophy) and not living in light of the Word, (resulting in a ministry philosophy of "preaching is enough").
Reverberation explains the pulpit ministry and traces the theme of how the Word continues through the life of the church. Both theological and practical, Reverberation focuses on how the church hears, responds, discusses, implements and is transformed by the Word. No high-octane production, superstar personalities, or postmodern entreaties, just stuff that is really old, really good, and really powerful!
Author Bio▼▲
As Jesus told Martha in her busyness (which was on His behalf!), "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:41-42). Leeman's appeal to leaders to refocus on Gods words and less on techniques is a wake-up call to those trying to be hip or culturally relevant.
The first part of Reverberation covers the ministry of the Word. The author explains how it not only pulls some seemingly hostile people into the family of God, but also drives others away who have chosen to reject God. And although we are tempted to make the gospel more appealing so that we don't offend potential Christians, Leeman assures us that our role is to be faithful to God's Word and allow the Lord to do what He will in the lives of others. Also covered in this section are the truths that God acts, frees his people, and gathers his church by his Word. Basically, God's power is unleashed through his Word.
Addressed primarily to pastors and teachers, the second section stresses the importance of preaching the Word within the local church. Leeman gives three main functions that Scripture fulfills in a sermon: it exposes what God says (without changing or embellishing it), it announces the good news of Jesus Christ (gospel), and it confronts the listener's reality and replaces it with God's reality. All of this, it must be asserted, occurs through the power of the Holy Spirit who gives wisdom, discernment, and enlightenment to the Christian who hears.
In the last section, Leeman describes the outer rings of the reverberation of the Word: singing, praying, discipling, and evangelism. He is brief, but makes his points plainly and effectively. When we sing, we sing truths from the Scriptures. When we pray, we pray the way the Bible demonstrates. When we disciple, or counsel, one another, we do it in the wisdom of the Word. With evangelism, he rightly points out that our mission on earth is not to evangelize, but to glorify God, and in the process we will naturally be sharing our faith in the Lord with others.
Overall, Jonathan Leeman writes with simplicity and biblical accuracy, grounding each point in Scripture and exemplifying it in real-life scenarios. In addition to ample biblical support, the author lists excellent recommended reading at the end of each chapter. My immediate reaction to reading this book was one of relief! As a sincere follower of Christ, I can easily get wrapped up with trying to do all the right things within ministry, and lose the beauty of God's power and plan. Only one thing is necessary to sit under the teachings of God and let the Spirit change my heart and those in my care. Reverberation is easily the most important book pastors, elders, and other church leaders could read this year. Stacy Oliver, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

David GoughAlexandria, VAAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5The far-reaching impact of God's WordJune 27, 2013David GoughAlexandria, VAAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Jonathan Leeman is a "churchman" and 9 Marks ministry is committed to the importance of the local church. Together they have combined to provide a number of helpful resources for church leaders who sense the need to recover the New Testament pattern of practical ecclesiology. Methods and gimmicks for church revitalization have been tried and found wanting by well-meaning pastors and their staffs for the past several decades. Leeman's suggestion is both simple and profound: make the Word of God central and allow it to "reverberate" like a sound wave in every aspect of the church's life. Perhaps the most valuable part of the book for pastors is the section that deals with "the sermon." No matter how long one has been preparing and preaching sermons, he never "masters" his trade. There is always the need to take stock of the effectiveness of his ministry. Leeman serves to remind pastors that it is God's Word, faithfully exposited, that the Lord uses to change lives. The author also urges local assemblies to evaluate other aspects of the church's life when it gathers to worship (such as singing and praying) and then scatters (evangelizing and discipling). Leeman's writing style is clear yet challenging. This book is recommended for those who may not have been able to tackle his "The Church and the Surprising Offense of God's Love" or as a helpful follow-up to that title.
cterryIndianaAge: 25-34Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5Sadly, this book is extremely necessary today.June 20, 2013cterryIndianaAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4Reverberation by Jonathan Leeman
I received this book as a review copy from Moody Publishers in exchange for an honest review. This work was something about which I had heard some time ago prior to requesting it as a review copy. Leeman is involved with Nine Marks, which is a para-church organization that grew out of the local church ministry of Capitol Hill Baptist Church. Nine Marks produces some very high quality resources for the church. The resources are certainly reformed, congregational, and baptistic. Overall, I appreciate what Nine Marks does.
Prior to reading this book I have read articles by Leeman and listened to interviews he has done. He comes across as humble but unwavering in his biblical convictions. In Reverberation he says some very important things about the sufficiency of Scripture. Leeman holds to the doctrines of total depravity, election, and irresistible grace with which I am personally in agreement. As a result of such convictions, Leeman looks at Isaiah 55:10-11 and rightly recognizes that God's Word always accomplishes His will. At times the Word brings judgment, and other times it brings repentance and salvation. Leeman does not entirely dispose of ministry strategy, architecture, musical style, and attire. But, he does properly regard those things as subordinate to the place God's Word should have in the church. He continually points to the Holy Spirit's use of Scripture to bring light, life, and freedom to hearers. Everything else is secondary and should be seen as such. Leeman calls for a proper perspective in local churches.
Jonathan Leeman seeks throughout the remainder of the book to expound the implications and applications of such a Bible-centered life and ministry. The Word reverberates through preaching, teaching, singing, praying, and discipleship. As we study and are taught the Word, it informs how we should think and live. The Word determines what is true and proper for believers. Leeman argues that Scripture should effect everything we do. Our conversations away from church gatherings - in the home, workplace, coffee shop - should be filled with and guided by Spirit-enabled application of God's Word.
Sadly, this book is extremely necessary today. Leeman communicates nothing ground-breaking, nor does he intend to do so. He writes what genuine believers, who have held to the sufficiency and authority of Scripture, have practiced and called others to do so for almost 2,000 years. It appears to be a battle that must be fought in each generation. This is a quality book and message.
Book NerdyAge: 25-34Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5Sound & clearOctober 9, 2012Book NerdyAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4The book is a book about expository preaching and the sufficiency of God's Word to change people. The thesis and premise of the book is solid throughout, especially within the beginning pages of the text. Overall, the text does magnify the Word of God and gives the reader a deep appreciation of the scriptures. The book is a tool to encourage readers to find their hunger, thirst, and ultimate satisfaction in the truth, power and feast of God's Word. Leeman did an excellent job in protruding forth the power of the Holy scriptures. Leeman was sound and clear in his approach of writing about The Word, The Sermon, & The Reverberation Effect.
However, like other readers have noted, Leeman does take numerous jabs at the evangelical church (as a whole) throughout the book. One must understand that just because a church offers programs, various ministries, does not imply that the Word is not the focal point of it all or central to the overarching purpose of the existence of that local congregation. Perhaps these ministries are a part of the reverberation effect that the Word has on it's hearers/doers.
As for preaching, this book would be a great tool of refreshment to the pastor's soul as well as a source of an eye-opener to the layman, who needs to reminded of the power and sufficiency of the scriptures. Whoever reads this book, will find themselves with a greater appreciation and a renewed hunger for the Word of God, therefore, finding themselves growing in the grace & knowledge of the Lord, Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).
I was provided this book from http://mpnewsroom.com/ for the purpose of review. The above thoughts are my own.

In recent years Evangelicalism has experienced a pattern of church growth with an emphasis on methodology using a cultural outreach strategy. In his book "Reverberation," Jonathan Leeman establishes the premise that "God's Word working through God's Spirit, is God's primary instrument for growing God's church."
In a natural progression Leeman presents the evangelist, the theological foundation of the Word, the individual's heart, the local church, the sermon, and role of the Word in music, prayer, discipleship, and mission. He demonstrates why we can have faith in God's Word to "create, sustain, and empower daily obedience to the Word." He warns of the danger of the growing loss of confidence in God's Word among Evangelicals.
Leeman's writing is Biblically sound, thorough in presentation, analytical, and convincing in content. "Reverberation: How God's Word Brings Light, Freedom, and Action to His People" is important and timely in light of the recent emphasis on contextualizing, spiritual formation, renewal, and the missional church.

Credit History and Reports
- 529 Plans: The Ins and Outs of Contributions and Withdrawals
Understanding the rules that govern contributions and withdrawals will help you take full advantage of your 529 plan. For example, both prepaid tuition plans and college savings plans limit the total amount that may be contributed on behalf of one beneficiary. Some plans also have minimum contribution requirements. Withdrawals from a 529 plan that are used to pay qualified education expenses are tax free at the federal level, but beware of nonqualified withdrawals, which don't enjoy the same tax-favored treatment. The timing of your withdrawals is also an important consideration.
- How Student Loans Impact Your Credit
Your student loans can have a big impact on your credit score and credit history. Establishing a good repayment record and paying down your student loan debt is important if you want to obtain new credit.
- Understanding your credit report
If you're about to apply for credit, get a copy of your credit report so you can see what lenders see when they evaluate your creditworthiness. To make sure your credit record is correct and consistent, obtain a copy from each of the three major credit-reporting agencies; the reports may be free or have a low fee. Among other things, the reports contain information on your accounts with each lender, the type of account, your payment history, and current account status. You can formally request an investigation to dispute incorrect or misleading information on your report.

I can think of a better way to acquaint myself with a new town than to run a scavenger hunt run. So with a tip of my hat to AllieKate and no further adieu:
1) A sign of Spring
The ice is melting and some of the waterfowl are actually floating
2) Something out of place
A windmill downtown. It was spinning in the breeze
3) Something with at least 4 colors
This colorful sign caught my eye right away
4) A favorite place to run
I'm still very new here, but the Linear Trail runs right by work. I expect it will be my go-to path for many a summer mile
5) A fancy house or building
Two pictures of the building where I now work. It used to be an Army hospital, but before that it was the Kellogg Sanitarium. Now it is the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Building. It dates back to 1866. If you're ever in the neighborhood, stop by and I'll show you around. It's a really cool building.
6) Something starting with V, W, X, or Z
I saw this within the first few yards of my run
7) A green car
Will a camouflage pickup work?
8) Something with numbers combining to 10
Sometimes you just have to push the Easy button. 2*5=10
9) Something with a Loop in it
I'm not sure what's going on in the first pic. Three naked people on a bike, maybe. Or something I just don't want to know about. The second one I saw at the end of my run. The loopy bike rack made a loopy shadow
10) Something making a funny face
This billboard saved you from a goofy selfie
11) Bonus - Something sarcastic
Apparently, this sign thought I was running a bit too slow
I was going to take a pic of the two homeless guys camping as a sign of spring and me running through some interesting neighborhoods as something out of place, but you know what they say about discretion.
So that's about it. I got the privilege of running 11.5 miles in the snow with Speet yesterday and then another 6.5 in the warm sunshine this afternoon.
Thanks again, Allison!

When setting out to learn LabVIEW, or when starting to use a new area of LabVIEW (e.g. events, VI Server, etc.), what approach do you prefer?
I am interested in hearing about your past experiences with the various kinds of learning resources. In particular, I would like to know which approaches were the most enjoyable and which approaches (not necessarily the same ones) were the most effective (i.e. made you successful with LabVIEW).
Here are a few of the kinds of resources I would like your opinions on:
- Presentations (e.g. at NIWeek or special events around the world)
- LabVIEW documentation (e.g. the Getting Started with LabVIEW manual, Help, or other manuals)
- Example VIs
- Developer Zone or other areas of ni.com
- Other web sites
- NI Tech Support
- info-labview, OpenG, LAVA, or other user groups/forums
- Books
- Training courses

Hi Christina
I second Rolf and Uwe's approach.
e.g. I started out with the example on Xcontrols in LV8 and now I need more information, The document I found somewhere helped me to implement my own Xcontrol but I had a hard time looking at why is this event happening and when does it happen. Until I understood a little about the events that probably are very natural for a labview developer !.
The thermometer example is one thing but do you have more examples already and a discussion on the possible events.
I still have trouble to when to update a display feature and it is not as easy to use yet as a control developed by NI.
Another problem in this special case is where to leave the developed Xcontrol? Where to put the project where to put the doc etc.
The problem is of course what structure is right. All stuff in an .llb simply does not look ok for me anymore and the project already looks structured but my folders don't.
So I like to learn from examples with a red line of going from easy to difficult and with a real idea what structures are kept in mind when developing this stuff.
Greetings from an again wet country, the cold is over and skating is not getting gold medals today.
Started to read the LV3.1 User manual and function reference (Yes, there was a printed manual)
(in these days I had an hour train ride to my desk, so a lot of time to read)
I still prefer paper to learn! But I see that this would be hard to handle nowadays.
Now LV8.0 is knocking on my PCs drive (but it was the same before) and take a look in the box: The what's new in LV8 booklet is a shame!
All the NI programmers that put so much work into LV8 and you only can find most of it by accident or because you get a hint here and there in the forum. All these new features just named at the end of this booklet (and isn't there even more??). I'm shure I missed some nice concepts and ideas behind some of these new stuff.
Now, how do I want to learn the new stuff ?
# Application notes and slide shows to give me an idea of the new concepts
# In deep articles (now mostly buried in answers by the experts in the forum)
# the complete handouts of all your training courses
(Since my boss won't let me go to all of them)
Have a nice weekend

Monarc Suburethral Sling Procedure
I had a monarc suburethral sling procedure on 8/17/09. Immediately after I complained that my bottom was hurting on the left side around the rectum. Is this normal or could it possibly be a hemorrhoid? I do not have any itching or bleeding, but I do have pressure in one area around the rectum. I did go home the day of surgery with a catheter and had removed the following day, only to go back 3 days later and have another catheter placed for 3 days. I just had it removed and so far I am voiding but feeling a spasm toward the end of voiding (200cc). Is this normal? Plus, how long are you sore in the groin area where the incision is?
Pain in the buttock area could be due to position, nerve entrapment or trauma. It should clear with in few days unless it is nerve entrapment. Inner thigh pain may last for few weeks and bladder spasm is not that unusual to have following any type of urethral suspension.

Oct. 5 Board of Supervisors Meeting Features 7 Presentations
Oct. 2, 2009
News Highlights
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on Monday, Oct. 5, scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m., will make the following presentations to residents and county staff. For more information, call 703-324-3187, TTY 711. More information on the Oct. 5 meeting, including an agenda, can be found online.
Fire Prevention Week
The Board of Supervisors will designate Oct. 4-10, 2009, as Fire Prevention Week in Fairfax County. The National Fire Protection Association's theme for this year, "It's Fire Prevention Week ? Stay Fire Smart! Don't Get Burned," reminds residents to take precautions to remain safe from fire at all times.
Disability Employment Awareness Month
The Board of Supervisors will designate October 2009 as Disability Employment Awareness Month. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 promotes independence, empowerment and quality of life. During October, emphasis will be placed on the progress that has been made since 1990 as well as the work that needs to continue to ensure the goals of equal access and full inclusion for everyone.
Nysmith School for the Gifted
The Board of Supervisors will recognize the Odyssey of the Mind Team from Nysmith School for the Gifted for its accomplishment. The team won the Virginia state championships in Newport News, Va., and placed 10th overall in Division II at the worldwide Odyssey of the Mind competition at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, May 27-31, 2009.
West Springfield High School
The Board of Supervisors will recognize the West Springfield High School forensics and debate teams for winning their respective 2009 Virginia state championships. This is only the second time in the history of the Virginia High School League that both teams from the same school have won championships in the same year.
Chris Godart
The Board of Supervisors will recognize Chris Godart for 26 years as a head coach of girls soccer in Fairfax County Public Schools and Northern Virginia. Godart has coached 400 games during his tenure, and his teams have won numerous championships, including seven district titles, five regional titles and the state title in 1990.
Elizabeth M. Fairchild
The Board of Supervisors will recognize Elizabeth Fairchild for her gift to Fairfax County of more than eight acres of property along Richmond Highway that were once part of the Historic Spring Bank estate. The estate dates back to 1809, according to the county's inventory of historic sites. This gift will enable Fairfax County to help preserve, protect and restore Quander Brook in the Spring Bank community.
The Board of Supervisors will recognize WEST*GROUP, GreenSpur, Inc. and CharityWorks for their effort and contribution to develop GreenHouse, one of the first carbon-neutral houses in the U.S. The GreenHouse is projected to use 80 percent less energy per square foot than a comparable new home, and includes plumbing fixtures and appliances designed to reduce water consumption and collect and store rainwater to be used for outdoor landscaping. More than 95 percent of the materials from the circa 1950 home originally on site were recycled or reused in the new house.

Event Coverage Sponsored by
(from the left) Tomoko Yamagishi-Dressler, senior vice president, marketing, Shiseido Cosmetics America; Silvia Galfo, senior vice president, marketing, U.S., Lancôme; and Charisse Ford, senior vice president, global marketing, Estée Lauder; talk prestige skin care innovations and consumers at CEW's November 2012 event.
CEW held its Women & Men in Beauty Series for 2012 with a focus on prestige skin care's top innovators November 29, 2012. CEW chairwoman Jill Scalamandre welcomed attendees, noting that skin care, largely fueled by anti-aging, is a category crucial to the beauty industry. She then introduced Charisse Ford, senior vice president, global marketing, Estée Lauder; Silvia Galfo, senior vice president, marketing, U.S., Lancôme; and Tomoko Yamagishi-Dressler, senior vice president, marketing, Shiseido Cosmetics America; to share their strategies and insights into marketing prestige skin care in a changing consumer environment.
"It's been a great year for Lancôme and innovation and performance have been driving the category; serums have been very strong. We'll finish the year with $40 million at retail," said Galfo, citing the strong performance of Lancôme's eye care category as well as the success of Lancôme's Visionnaire launch, an anti-aging skin corrector.
"Newness, innovation and technology in the prestige market are key," added Yamagishi-Dressler. "This includes anti-aging and premium products. The customer today is looking for beauty targeted solutions." Ford supported reinvention, saying, "What's old can be new," citing Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum. "It's been in the market for 30 years, and we've been able to introduce it to women around the world. We have been able to express older products in a new way." Ford, who spearheaded the launch of Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex, also created innovative 360-degree marketing programs for Re-Nutriv Ultimate lift Age-Correcting Collection and the Double Wear Foundation franchise.
Yamagishi-Dressler, noted the ongoing potential and growth in brightening and BB creams (what she considers a "killer category"), saying, "The brightening category will continue to grow, as well as the successful BB cream category. The success of the BB cream indicates that the customer wants products that offer multiple benefits. These areas, as well as growth in at-home treatment products with professional level efficacy for use in the comfort of the customer's home, will also grow."
Galfo said women seek performance in their beauty products, and in response to a query about whether BB creams might be cannibalizing other products, she said, "Women want instant results without losing long term effect, so better-performing or enhanced moisturizers are sought by women. BB creams are not cannibalizing, as women want choices." Ford concurred, noting that women are taking a lot better care of their skin, so BB creams are a "perfect solution."

What teams qualify as small market? I usually see Minnesota listed as a small market team, but I've been there and that's a big area. Oakland as well. What criteria are we using?

Topic: Does anyone know about capecitabine (xeloda) ?
Hi Everyone,
I 've found some information about capecitabine (xeloda) in of the website which is a chemotheraopy medicine. It is said that Capecitabine is a special medicine which has not any side effects to the normal body cells, it only effects the cells which have cancer. It is generally used for colon , breast and some gastrointestinal cancers like cholongiocarcinom and stomach cancer.
The article says that it is not found in Turkey where we live but it is known in all European countries , USA and Israel.
Is there anybody who has heard about it ?

At the very least, a playoff berth is the Colts' to lose.
That's a lot different than being the lovable underdogs they've played most of the season.
"That's the fun part because if you stick with the process, you'll reach (your goals)," Colts interim coach Bruce Arians said. "If you start looking at the final goal, you'll probably get beat. Like I say every week, it gets boring, you've got to respect the process."
The Colts cannot clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. Not officially.
But with an 8-4 record, the Colts are at most two wins away from a sure-thing playoff spot where they'll likely get the prize of traveling to Denver, New England or Baltimore. (No, really, it'd be fun. Great learning experience.)
First things first. The Colts cannot afford to lose to the Titans. It would be blow to their wild-card standing, their improving stature in the league and their confidence. It could even ruin the season. That's no joke. With road games coming up at Houston and Kansas City, a loss Sunday could have the Colts sitting with an 8-7 record heading into the final weekend. That might even put them on the outside of the playoff picture looking in.
So to borrow a phrase Andrew Luck has often used, they haven't accomplished anything yet.
Now comes some real pressure.
My guess is the Colts will be up to the task. "Respect the process" is not a new phrase for Arians. He picked it up from coach Chuck Pagano and carried it over. It means worrying about the day and task at hand and no more.
The fact he's been preaching that all season helps it to resonate this week, now that the end of the season – and that playoff berth – is within sight.
Arians said the older players, and that surely means Robert Mathis, Reggie Wayne and Cory Redding, for starters, won't let the younger guys get caught up in the media or fan love that's been drifting the Colts' direction.
"You've got to think one team, one game, one week at a time," Mathis said. "Just don't look past anybody because if you do that, they'll make you look bad. Unfortunately, we've had a couple of those experiences this year."
Those moments of exposure have been on the road, of course, primarily in New York and New England.
It hasn't been easy at home, but the Colts are 5-1 at Lucas Oil Stadium, losing only to the devastating combination of defensive brain freeze and Cecil Shorts III.
The Colts have played the Titans once, winning in overtime in Nashville on running back Vick Ballard's Fosbury Flop into the end zone. Theoretically, this will be a big boost to the Colts offense since Luck can study his own performance and tweak it for the better.
Luck completed 26 of 38 passes for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception at Tennessee.
"It's always easier when you have yourself to evaluate," Arians said. "You've played a team and you see yourself and your own offense out there. The game should slow down, especially third down and red zone, the two most difficult areas.
"You've seen what they do; they haven't changed much. You should be able to perform better the second time you play them."
The Colts defense must still deal with Chris Johnson, but it'll face a different quarterback in Jake Locker. Matt Hasselbeck played well in the first game (22 of 29, 236 yards, one touchdown).
If the Colts can limit Johnson's breakaway plays and avoid getting burned by Nate Washington or Kendall Wright, they might not need much more than 21 points from the offense.
The win at Detroit was a credit to resilience, coming back from two scores down in the fourth quarter. This game needs to be a credit to consistent play.
It'd be nice if the Colts could build a lead and have some breathing room at the end.
That's not their style this year. They control their own destiny now. But, until further notice, Colts fans should keep holding their breath until the clock expires.

Kristin and Alan Hudson have been in angst over a lawsuit filed against them by the Waterkeeper Alliance, an environmental activist group.
In the video shown above, Kristin Hudson chokes back emotion as she describes what it is like to have her daughter ask "What if they take away daddy's farm?"
The Hudsons are overwhelmed by legal and medical bills related to the lawsuit, according to the same video produced by SaveFarmFamilies.org
Area farmers pitched in and held several benefit dinners to help pay the Hudsons pay their bills.
The Hudsons grow corn, soybeans and hay, and raise cows and chickens on a 200-acre farm near Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Now there is word that agricultural organizations and businesses from around the country, including 13 state farm bureaus, Southern States Cooperative, Rabobank International, as well as the Maryland Pork Producers Association, have pledged their support to the Hudsons.
"We believe what the Waterkeepers are doing is a grave injustice, and this legal fight goes well beyond just one farm family," said Andy Dietrick, director of public relations for the Indiana Farm Bureau. "We feel the Waterkeepers' tactics could negatively impact our farm families here in Indiana and we want to stand up and tell them what they are doing is wrong."
Jason Scott, president of the Maryland Grain Producers Association, adds, "This lawsuit is a pivotal moment for agriculture and we are supporting the Hudsons and SaveFarmFamilies.org because we are concerned that this lawsuit could be the first of many."

Forget the flowers and candy; what would really blow mom's socks off this Mother's Day is a new car, and some celebrities don't think twice about picking out a new set of wheels to celebrate mom. Web2Carz.com, an automotive and lifestyle website, recently picked its top five cars that celebrities gave to their moms.
5. Currently the youngest player in the NBA, the Charlotte Bobcats' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist bought his mom a Mercedes with some of his endorsement money before he even signed an NBA contract.
4. For Mother's Day 2011, the lead singer of boy band One Direction, Harry Styles, gave his mom a silver Mini Cooper convertible. Unfortunately, reports Web2Carz.com, mom sold it on eBay for $9,500.
3. Former wrestler and Hollywood celeb Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson gave his mom a Cadillac Escalade for Christmas last year, and it was received a little better than Harry Styles' mom's car, as evidenced by The Rock's Tweet: "At 14 I saw my mom crying about our only car being repossessed. This felt good. #MerryXmasMom."
2. Kanye West displayed some serious celebrity lavishness on girlfriend Kim Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, by buying her a $200,000 Bentley with her initials custom embroidered on the upholstery.
1. Topping Web2Carz.com's list was the Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 that Elvis Presley gave his mother, which was custom painted in a special one-of-a-kind pink color called Elvis Rose. Funny thing was that Elvis' mom never had a driver's license!
While it may be very appealing to buy a car for mom and have it sitting in her driveway with a giant bow on Mother's Day, it's actually a far better idea to get mom's input and let her pick out the car. That way, she can be sure the car is comfortable for her to drive and suits her needs. Then maybe she won't sell it on eBay like Harry Styles' mom! Plus, you can take your time and shop around for the best deal, using these "10 tips for buying the right car in 2013."
What did you buy for your mom this Mother's Day?
