I was very impressed at the super elastic boy.

Allowing the public to directly observe what goes on, rather than get secondhand accounts from reporters increases their understanding of the judicial system, increases accountability and increases public confidence. —Media attorney David Reymann
SALT LAKE CITY — For more than a year, a team of judges, attorneys and court administrators worked to craft finely a rule that would allow — for the first time in Utah history — the use of electronic media and television cameras into the state's courtrooms.
Utahns were able to witness firsthand what goes on inside their courtrooms.
But it took just over a year for that presumptive openness to face added restrictions, which were voted in after being proposed at a single meeting of the Utah Judicial Council in April. The rule was changed to separate domestic relations cases, including divorces and guardianship hearings, from all other court cases and require those requesting to record such hearings to explain why they should be allowed to do so.
Previously, all court hearings were open unless a judge could justify barring electronic media coverage.
Court officials maintain it's a privacy matter. But family law attorney Eric Johnson, who has issued numerous requests to record the hearings, and media attorney David Reymann — who is working with the Utah Headliners Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists in opposing the change — argue the restriction was a hasty one made with Johnson in mind that will have negative ramifications.
"It's all about this one person," Reymann said. "When you change the rule to react to one specific situation, it's not good policy. It's an overreaction to one incident."
Brent Johnson, general counsel for the Utah State Courts, said he has tried hard not to make the change about a single person, though he did say that the requests of a specific person "pointed out an issue" that contributed to the rule change.
"Mostly it's a burden shifting," he said. "It still allows recording in those proceedings, it just puts the burden on the person who wants to record. In certain case types, the case files are private and they just decided that in all those case types where the case files are private, they're going to take away the presumption (of openness) in those cases just because of those heightened privacy concerns."
Reymann said the privacy of documents is irrelevant. Just because some court documents are private does not mean that cameras should be kept from hearings that are open to the public.
The initial rule recognized that there is no real difference between a camera and a reporter sitting in a courtroom, Reymann said. The rule change again tries to draw the distinction between cameras and reporters and undermines the benefits of public access to the courts.
"Allowing the public to directly observe what goes on, rather than get secondhand accounts from reporters increases their understanding of the judicial system, increases accountability and increases public confidence," Reymann said.
"It's particularly important for domestic cases, because members of the public are more likely to be involved in domestic law case than any other aspect of the judicial system in the course of their lives."
Eric Johnson said the goal of helping Utahns understand and observe what goes on in domestic relations hearings is the reason he started a YouTube channel called Utah Family Law TV and why he's made requests to record as many as 30 different hearings since January. He said he was allowed to record one, in Provo's 4th District Court.
"What people's expectation of the law and the operations of the courts are, are about 180 degrees different from the way the law and the courts actually work," Eric Johnson said. "And so the reason I established the channel and the reason I'm trying to cover the proceedings is because the news is in the proceedings — not the people or the participants."
He said he doesn't want to broadcast lurid details about people's private lives but wants to show Utahns exactly what they can expect from various hearings. He contends that he merely strives to disseminate the information for the public's benefit and does not use the channel to advertise his own services.
He disagrees that such hearings are especially sensitive.
"There are those people who are deathly afraid that if (a hearing) is featured on electronic news media that it's somehow going to lay their lives bare," Eric Johnson said. "I would encourage someone to go to family law proceedings for a day. There's very little in the way of lurid, sensational stuff. It pops up in these situations no more so than rape cases or kidnappings or burglaries to prostitution. There's plenty sensational, lurid stuff to go around, so family law is not in a class all its own. To claim that it's so special and so unique isn't borne out by the facts."
He said he has sometimes asked those involved in the hearings if he can film, which, he notes, is not required under the rule. Even with their permission, his requests have been denied. The denials come for myriad reasons, including that he is not considered a journalist by judges.
The revised rule eliminates language that defines a journalist as anyone who gathers, reports, records or publishes information to the public and narrows it to those who disseminate news. It reads that a judge may still allow electronic media coverage in cases where the documents are classified as private if the predominant purpose of the recording is journalism or "dissemination of news to the public."
"They changed the rule because of me," Eric Johnson said, pointing to the timing of his requests and the timing of the rule change. "Did they change the rule purely because of me and my efforts? I'm not sure. There are one or two other requests that might have surfaced, but I'm the only person who ever wanted to cover domestic relations cases."
Regardless, Brent Johnson said the amendment is one that "made sense" to the members of the judicial council, prompting its immediate implementation. In most cases, a judge has to justify a closure, but because the burden now shifts to the requestor to argue for openness in domestic law cases, a second request form will be used for those hoping to record such cases.2 comments on this story
The rule is open to revision following a comment period that runs through June 24. The Utah Headliners chapter of Society of Professional Journalists issued a news release urging its members and the public to oppose the change by submitting a comment to the court about the rule.
"The closure of family court to the video camera rule is a dangerous precedent which could lead to further erosion of transparency," said Sheryl Worsley, who is president of the journalists society chapter and news director at KSL Newsradio.
"Courts are open and this move restricts access of citizens who have a right to know what is going on in a court of law."

I just wanted to be loved, says Manson gang killer
Precisely 45 years ago this weekend, Patricia Krenwinkel took part in perhaps the most notorious killing spree in California history.
On August 8, 1969, on the instructions of Charles Manson, Krenwinkel joined three other members of Manson's cult, "the Family", as they murdered actress Sharon Tate, who was pregnant, and four more people at the home Tate shared with her husband, film director Roman Polanski, near Beverly Hills.
Krenwinkel, who was just 21, chased down and stabbed Abigail Folger, a coffee heiress, so brutally that police later thought Folger's white nightgown had been bought blood red. The next night, Krenwinkel killed again, when she helped to butcher small business owners Leno and Rosemary La Bianca a few miles away.
Krenwinkel and two more young female Family members were eventually sentenced to death alongside Manson himself, but all had their sentences commuted to life in prison.
Krenwinkel is the longest-serving female inmate in California, and this week she gave her first on-camera interview in 20 years. Speaking to filmmaker Olivia Klaus for a documentary, 'My Life After Manson', the 66-year-old said she participated in the killings because she was "a coward".
"I wanted to feel like someone was going to care for me because I hadn't felt that from anywhere else in my life," Krenwinkel said. "In giving up and moving on with Manson [I] was just basically throwing away the rest of my life… It is countless how many lives were shattered by the path of destruction that I was a part of, and it all comes from such a simple thing as just wanting to be loved."
In a piece for 'The New York Times', Klaus wrote that during four decades in prison, Krenwinkel "has struggled mightily to reconcile two parts of her life: the 21-year-old girl who committed crimes to win the approval of the man she loved; and the 66-year-old woman who lives each day haunted by the unending suffering she has caused".

changes to druids id like to see for 5.2
Posted 26 December 2012 - 03:18 AM
- Offensive dispels shit on druids and shamans so hard when they're cc'd. 1 cc vs a druid and 2 gcds later all hots gone, same thing with shamans ES / riptide.
- Extremely difficult to pick someone up as a druid, shaman you can riptide / unleashed elements and crit for 260k. Swiftmend hits not even half that.
- Every healer gets shit on by KFC cc that's not unique, the only 1 that can avoid it is pally with sac etc assuming it's not dispelled or priest with a well timed shadow word death.
My main beef with this expansion is 8 second dispels vs instant unlimited offensive dispels. Should put offensive dispels on 8 seconds as well especially with classes that can double dispel / purge. It shouldn't be an option to just spam purge as the healer in certain comps (play KFC all you do is clean people because your pressure is so high)

Man i got the same issue wtf and i dont even play a druid
right but my point is the druid class is supposed to "heal over time" through this if there are full hots on my target and then i use light heals (druids shouldnt have big heals) and that with the already ticking hots SHOULD heal someone to full. druids are beat by swapping when hots are not on target. remove the glyph of lifebloom and increase lifeblooms ticks. its the best fix to give druids a weakness but keep then strong at the job they are supposed to do
pally and shaman are supposed to bomb large heals to make up for the lack of hots or use shields like sacred or ES to deal while ur in cc and again, bomb heals out of the cc.
atm druids seem to "have hots" but still bomb heals. tree form regrowth spams faceroll as fuck and not very HOT like is it?

Druids are actually the best healers currently. Just like Rogues are extremly good defensively, and they have insane pressure. I was helping my friend level the other day, he was a 88 warrior, a level 89 rogue took him to 0% in stun and smoke before I could even help. I then ran after him, but he just blinded me. Basicly 2vs1 and I am level 90. Warriors should have better defense and Mages more mobility.

lmao you have the best healing cd in the game which makes you and your entire team unkillable and every healing class has trouble healing mongo damage.
What is that pic in your profile? Just curious. Trying not to say something mean but thinking it.
You are a hpal, you come of out of cc with holy power charges for instant heals. Do not exaggerate tree form, it makes you look dumb and bias. Arena class representation shows that hpals and rshammys have more success above 2.2k than rdruids, doesn't look like "unkillable entire team mode" does too much good.

Wednesday, May 21, 2014 | 4:33 p.m.
A California man was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison for transporting two girls from Oakland, Calif., to Las Vegas to work as prostitutes.
Seagram Joshua Miller, 21, of Hayward, Calif., pleaded guilty in January to one count of coercion and enticement of a minor in the case that involved a 12-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl, according to Daniel Bogden, U.S. Attorney for Nevada.
Miller was the second person sentenced to jail time in the case. Co-defendant Ray Darnell Webb, 20, also pleaded guilty to the same charge and was sentenced in April to eight years in prison.
In addition to the jail time, Miller must also serve 10 years of supervised release after his sentence, and he must register as a sex-offender, Bogden said.
According to the court records and plea agreements, Webb and Miller met a 12-year-old girl who was working as a prostitute in Oakland in early 2013. Shortly after meeting her, they persuaded her to work for them as a prostitute, Bogden said.
In April 2013, Miller met a 16-year-old girl on Facebook and employed her to begin working as a prostitute for them. It was then that Miller and Webb decided to bring the two girls to Las Vegas to make money, Bogden said.
Before leaving, Webb posted photos of the 16-year-old girl in an advertisement on an escort service review website so they would have dates lined up when they arrived in Las Vegas. Webb, Miller and the girls then traveled to Las Vegas at the end of April and rented a hotel room on Las Vegas Boulevard, Bogden said.
They both worked as prostitutes in Las Vegas until early May 2013, when Webb and Miller were arrested by Metro Police.

About Me
|I started riding horses when I was a youngster - I was a typical little girl who loved horses. My dentist Dad and Mom supported my love, taking me to horse riding lessons every Saturday. In the fourth grade, my Mom purchased a mare for me that had survived a hurricane, for $150 - that included the saddle! Through high school I remained dedicated to riding, and my parents kept me mounted on better and better horses. I showed in 4-H, and began training horses for other people in the tenth grade. When I went to college, I had eleven horses in training, which helped to pay my way. While at Texas A&M University, I met and married Bubba Cahill. Together we trained horses and raised a family.
Today I continue to train and show Quarter Horses from my training facilities in Madisonville, Texas. I have had the privilege of coaching the U.S. Team for the Youth Quarter Horse World Cup five times. I have trained multiple AQHA World and Congress Champions and National High Point Champions including Winona Anhaiser and Quincy Cahill. I won the AQHA World Show Junior Western Riding class in 2003. What a thrill!
|My Philosophy...
After working with horses for 37 years, I have developed a practical and successful philosophy of how to train horses and their riders. While there are different types of riders and horses, they all have some things in common. Communication and horsemanship are two of these things. True horsemanship is when the rider and horse are able to work together. Horses come to this relationship with instincts, built-in behaviors, and personalities. It is up to their rider to take all of these into account when working with, training, and riding the horse. Knowing how best to ask the horse to do what you want is as important as the horse learning to understand what you are asking. Once you both learn this, the fun can begin!
|Do It Yourself with Videos ...
I know I can't personally work with everyone. I'm too far away, finances are a problem, or there is not even a trainer in their area. There is no possibility of taking lessons from a professional. So I designed these videos with no secrets, no information or techniques withheld. Everything I do everyday myself and with my students is here. I am often asked "when will you have more tapes coming out?" Right now, there isn't anything more I can put on a video - because my entire program is on these tapes already. Everything is there.
Some want to show their horses, other just want to be able to ride better and have a happier horse. My intention is that you can watch these tapes over and over, practice the techniques, and get the same results as my resident students (both riders and horses). Whether you intend to show your horse or just ride for the pure pleasure of it, each of these tapes is useful in starting and advancing your horsemanship with your horse in your own backyard.
|Kids and Horses...
I love to work with kids, and have taken many to the top of their field. Their ability to learn new ways to become one with their horse never ceases to amaze me! Of course key in all of this is safety - we can never forget that horses are huge, strong animals upon which we are placing our 100 pound children. So a key focus in all I do with kids is safety, along with lots of fun.

Patrincia's Wedding Cake
Mar 22, 2007 | From the kitchen of Rose
i received this lovely note and photo, and couldn't wait to share it with you...
Rose, Thanks so much for letting me send this photo. I've been baking from The Cake Bible for years, but this was my first attempt at a wedding cake. I'm so pleased with the way it turned out (like a proud mother of a new baby). The cake was made from your Chocolate Butter Cake formula and it was filled and frosted with your Dark Chocolate Ganache recipe. One of the wedding guests asked me to make her son's wedding cake - all vanilla, inside and out. I'll be sure to use The Cake Bible for the formulas and recipes I'll use for it too! Sincerely, Patrincia, Winchester, VA PS - I can't wait to get your new book when it comes out!

SPNEGO Basics
Before getting started it will help to understand the steps involved in SPNEGO authentication. There are three actors involved, the client, the CAS server, and the ActiveDirectory DomainController/KDC.
Spnego Steps:
This only happens for the first request, when there is no CAS ticket associated with the users session. Once CAS grants a ticket, this will not happen again until the CAS ticket expires
Including the Handler
In the pom.xml file for your CAS Maven2 WAR Overlay, add the following dependency:
Core Classes
This is the implementation of an AuthenticationHandler for SPNEGO supports. This Handler support both NTLM and Kerberos. NTLM is disabled by default. This class supports the following properties:
This class is the configuration helper for JCIFS and the Spring framework. This class supports the following properties:
First action of a SPNEGO flow : negociation. The server checks if the negociation string is in the request header:
Second action of a SPNEGO flow : decode the gssapi-data and build a new SpnegoCredentials.
Set up the Active Directory
A service account should be created. This account is called a Service Principal Name account (SPN account).
Create the User
Now that the user account has been created and updated, we need to create a service principal setting for the created user account. This is automatically handled by exporting a keytab file for the created account.
Create the Keytab File
The Keytab file enables a trust link between the CAS server and the Key Distribution Center (KDC). This file contains a cryptographic key. The ktpass tool, which comes from the Windows Resource Kit, is used to generate this file. Be sure that you are running the command on your server where your Active Directory is installed and you are logged in as an administrator.
In a console, enter the command:
ktpass.exe /out myspnaccount.keytab /princ email@example.com /pass * /mapuser firstname.lastname@example.com /ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL /crypto RC4-HMAC-NT
This command will generate the myspnaccount.keytab file which has to be copied on the CAS server in order to test Kerberos from a bash using the MIT Kerberos V. Additionally when the properties of the spn account are viewed in Active Directory Users and Computers, a new delegation tab is displayed.
The syntax can be confusing. Here's an example assuming the samAccountName of the service account is "cassp", the fully qualified domain name of the CAS server is "cas.gasper.local", and a domain name of "gasper.local":
ktpass.exe /out cassp.keytab /princ firstname.lastname@example.com /pass * /mapuser email@example.com /ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL /crypto RC4-HMAC-NT
Test the SPN account
First configure MIT Kerberos V on the server. The file is <literal>/etc/krb5.conf</literal>. Here is an example:
Then verify that your are able to read the keytab file:
klist -k
Then verify that your are able to read the keytab file :
kinit email@example.com klist
Another test is to try the command:
kinit -V email@example.com -k -t /home/cas/kerberos/myspnaccount.keytab
You should not be prompted for a password. Here's the command using the example domain:
kinit -V email@example.com -k -t /home/user/kerberos/cas.keytab
Set up Browser
Internet Explorer (min 5.01)
Firefox (min 0.9)
Set Up CAS
Set up the login webflow
The CAS 3 Login Webflow needs to be modified. This webflow is located in /WEB-INF/login-webflow.xml. There are 2 new action states which are placed before the state viewLoginForm.
And 2 existing transitions need to be update:
diff against version 3.5.2:
Expand source
Two beans are needed for the login flow. Those beans are:
diff against cas version 3.5.2:
Expand source
In the bean authenticationManager, add:
There is also the jcifsConfig bean which needs to be added.
diff against cas version 3.5.2:
Expand source
Copy or create the file /path/to/WEB-INF/login.conf
Changes for JBoss
JBoss has its own security manager so specifying the login.conf file above has no effect. This was solved by amending a section in the login-config.xml file in the /SERVER-ROOT/server/default/conf directory as follows:
This means that JBoss defaults to using the Kerberos login module when no others are specified. This can be extracted to a custom application policy and specified in a jboss-web.xml file so that it can be explicitly selected.
ClassNotFound jcifs/spnego/AuthenticationException
You need the jcifs and jcifs-ext jars in order to make spnego working. They can be downloaded from http://developer.jasig.org/repo/content/groups/m2-legacy/org/samba/jcifs/
If there any dependency problems, you can run 'mvn compile' in the cas source. After that, your maven repo (~/.m2 by defualt) will contain all the dependency jars, go cherrypick!


text: The staff meeting's finally breaking up and you're eager to dart away. Not so fast. If you flee too quickly, you may miss the debriefing that tends to occur after a formal meeting ends. Your colleagues may privately agree to modify or disregard action plans they made earlier. Or they may raise additional points that affect the outcome of key projects. Play it safe and linger a bit until most folks head their separate ways.

A sentencing hearing for Rod Blagojevich will start Oct. 6, a judge said Monday, and it could last days as the ousted Illinois governor as well as his backers and detractors weigh in on an appropriate prison term for corruption.
Blagojevich technically faces up to 305 years for his many corruption convictions, including attempted extortion for trying to sell or trade President Barack Obama's old Senate seat. But most legal observers expect Judge James Zagel to sentence him to about 10 years, give or take a few years.
In advocating for a sentence on the lower side, the defense intends to call witnesses to speak about all the good they believe Blagojevich did during his six-year stint as the state's top executive, attorney Sheldon Sorosky told Zagel at a hearing Monday.
Supporters will tell Zagel that the 54-year-old Blagojevich "was a good, honest governor" and "cared about the ordinary guy," Sorosky told reporters later. He declined to elaborate, but defense lawyers earlier cited their client's advocacy of free health care for children as a major accomplishment.
Blagojevich, who did not attend Monday's hearing, will be among those to address Zagel and ask for a lesser sentence, Sorosky added.
Prosecutors plan to call their own witnesses, some of whom are sure to argue for a tougher sentence on the grounds that Blagojevich's crimes further dented public confidence in Illinois' political system.
Depending on how many people speak, Zagel said the sentencing hearing could take up to three days.
Jurors at Blagojevich's retrial convicted him in June on 17 of 20 corruption counts, including many related to Obama's old seat. Last year, an otherwise deadlocked jury convicted Blagojevich of lying to the FBI.
Blagojevich's defense has called for a new trial, filing a 158-page motion claiming a litany of alleged errors at the retrial. Prosecutors told Zagel on Monday they need two more weeks to file a response to that motion.
The defense is also expected to appeal Blagojevich's convictions, though that's unlikely to push back any date set for him to report to prison. As a rule, federal judges allow defendants to remain free pending appeal only if it seems more than likely that a higher court will throw out the convictions.
After the father of two is sentenced, he would likely have a few months before having to report to prison. That means he could begin serving time at the end of this year or shortly after the new year.
U.S. prison officials are expected to decide what prison to send Blagojevich to after sentencing.
One option is a federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., where another former Illinois governor, Republican George Ryan, is serving 6 1/2 years for multiple corruption charges.
No matter what low-security prison he ends up in, his life will be strictly regimented. That includes waking each day at dawn and taking a menial job, possibly scrubbing toilets, at a wage of 12 cents an hour.

|Global Amphibian Assessment Coordinating Team (Simon Stuart, Janice Chanson, Neil Cox and Bruce Young)
Listed as Critically Endangered because its Extent of Occurrence is less than 100 km2 and its Area Of Occupancy is less than 10km2, all individuals are in a single location, and there is continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat.
|Date last seen:
|Range Description:
|This species is known only from the type locality: "Santa Rita Creek, fourteen miles north of the village of Mesopotamia in the southern part of the Department of Antioquia, Colombia", at 2,472m asl. It is unlikely to range more widely.
|Countries occurrence:
Possibly extinct:Colombia
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|This species is known from only two specimens collected in 1914. Searches of the type locality since then have not found it, and it is possible that it is now extinct.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The type locality was forest when the specimens were collected, but the exact habitat requirements of the species are still unknown. It presumably breeds by direct development like other species in the genus.
|Major Threat(s):
|At the type locality there has been significant logging in the past, and there is now high human population density in this area with accompanying increased infrastructure development for human settlement. Agriculture, including the planting of illegal crops, is also a threat in the area as well as fumigation of illegal crops.
|Conservation Actions:
|The type locality is not within a protected area. Further survey work is needed to establish whether or not the species still occurs at the type locality or in any location outside the type locality, as the species might already be extinct in view of the scale of habitat destruction in the general vicinity.

- Fact: I carry my iPad almost naked (the iPad is naked — not me thank God).
- Fact: I often want to prop the thing up in portrait mode to use with a Bluetooth keyboard
- Fact: Penguins and polar bears would never meet in the wild.
- Fact: Most portrait-capable iPad stands are just too unwieldy to live in a bag permanently.
Considering these amazing facts, it should come as no surprise that I'm about to tell you about a stand which will in fact hold the iPad in pretty much any orientation. What's more, it does it whilst looking like a love egg that has sprouted a long, long pair of huggy arms. Let's be honest — it's pretty creepy-looking.
The stand is called the mŌna, which (if you're speaking Spanish) could variously refer to its eggy aspect, or the (debatable) fact that it's cute. Whatever, the mŌna is an egg which acts as a hinge for a wishbone section that grabs the sides of the iPad like a clown reads a newspaper. It gives a steady third leg to keep things propped up, and it also works as a keyboard stand it you lie it on its side and put the iPad on top.
Bonus: hide one of these in your female traveling companion's carry-on and watch her face grow bright red when the "security" folks pull this out and start waving it around.

Energy Conference Season Roundup: Podcast
If you were interested, you could probably go to a conference discussing some aspect of the energy business every single day of the year. From huge halls to intimate boardrooms, the complexity and scale of the energy business makes meeting with competitors, partners and stakeholders compulsory.While events continue throughout the year, there are two "rush" seasons when energy executives spend as much time in the air as on the ground. Starting in late January, financiers and policy experts seeking to firm up budget and regulatory priorities for the year ahead begin gathering in warm-weather ...

Lines to a World-Famous Poet Who Failed To Complete a World-Famous Poem; or, Come Clean, Mr. Guest!
Listen (RealAudio) | How to listen
Poem:"Lines to a World-Famous Poet Who Failed to Complete a World-Famous Poem; or, Come Clean, Mr. Guest!" by Ogden Nash, from Verse from 1929 On.© Little, Brown, 1959. Reprinted with permission.
Lines to a World-Famous Poet Who Failed To Complete a World-Famous Poem; or, Come Clean, Mr. Guest!
Oft when I'm sitting without anything to read waiting for a train in a
I torment myself with the poet's dictum that to make a house a home,
livin' is what it takes a heap o'.
Now, I myself should very much enjoy makin' my house a home, but
my brain keeps on a-goin' clickety-click, clickety-click, clickety-click,
If Peter Piper picked a peck o' heap o' livin', what kind of a peck o' heap
o' livin' would Peter Piper pick?
Certainly a person doesn't need the brains of a Lincoln
To know that there are many kinds o' livin', just as there many kinds o'
dancin' or huntin' or fishin' or eatin' or drinkin'.
A philosophical poet should be specific
As well as prolific,
And I trust I am not being offensive
If I suggest that he should also be comprehensive.
You may if you like verify my next statement by sending a stamped, self-
addressed envelope to either Dean Inge or Dean Gauss,
But meanwhile I ask you to believe that it takes a heap of other things
besides a heap o' livin' to make a home out of a house.
To begin with, it takes a heap o' payin',
And you don't pay just the oncet, but agayin and agayin and agayin.
Buyin' a stock is called speculatin' and buyin' a house is called investin',
But the value of the stock or of the house fluctuates up and down,
generally down, just as an irresponsible Destiny may destine.
Something else that your house takes a heap o', whether the builder came
from Sicily or Erin,
Is repairin',
In addition to which, gentle reader, I am sorry to say you are little more
than an imbecile or a cretin
If you think it doesn't take a heap o' heatin',
And unless you're spiritually allied to the little Dutch boy who went
around inspectin' dikes lookin' for leaks to put his thumb in,
It takes a heap o' plumbin',
And if it's a house that you're hopin' to spend not just today but
tomorrow in,
It takes a heap o' borrowin'
In a word, Macushla,
There's a scad o' things that to make a house a home it takes not only a
heap, or a peck, but at least a bushela.
Literary and Historical Notes:
It's the birthday of poet Edgar Guest (books by this author, born in Birmingham, England (1881). He was one of the last poets who wrote primarily for newspapers. He published a poem a day, almost every day of his adult life, totaling more than 11,000 poems. He is perhaps best known for having written, "It takes a heap o' livin' in a house t' make it home."
It's the birthday of Jacqueline Susann (books by this author), born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1918). She was 44 years old and a failed Broadway actress when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1962. So she went to a wishing hill in Central Park and made a deal with God. If He gave her 10 more years, she would become a success.
Four years later, Susann published her novel Valley of the Dolls (1966). It's the story of a woman struggling to become an actress, and it describes the sex lives, drug abuse, and catfights of starlets. When her publisher first read it, he thought it was awful. But then he gave it to his wife, and she loved it. The book went on to become the best-selling novel ever published at that time, selling more than 28 million copies.
Susann developed a system for promoting Valley of the Dolls that helped to revolutionize the way books are marketed. She went on coast-to-coast tours, appeared on local radio and television stations, and made personal appearances in bookstores to read and sign autographs, becoming one of the first modern celebrity authors.
It was on this day in 1977 that Voyager 2 was launched by NASA to explore the planets of our solar system. It was the first of the two spacecraft launched for that purpose, and it's a mystery why Voyager 2 was launched before Voyager 1. Both Voyagers went on to take the first up-close photographs of the giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Each of the Voyagers were each equipped with a gold-plated phonograph containing a variety of earthly sounds, including a heartbeat, a mother's kiss, wind, rain, surf, a chimpanzee, footsteps, laughter, the music of Bach and Mozart, and the Chuck Berry song "Johnny B. Goode." There are also greetings in 55 languages, including ancient Sumerian, and a message from then-President Jimmy Carter.
Today, the Voyagers have traveled farther from Earth than any other human-made objects in history, more than 5 billion miles away from the sun. Voyager 2, which launched on this day in 1977, is currently headed toward Sirius, the brightest star in the sky.
It's the birthday of a man who would have shuddered at the thought of the Voyager missions into space: H.P. [Howard Phillips] Lovecraft (books by this author), born in Providence, Rhode Island (1890). At a time when most horror stories were about ghosts and vampires, Lovecraft began to write a new kind of horror story, based on his fear of modern science. His work had a big influence on Stephen King.
H.P. Lovecraft said, "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

Maar, small crater blasted by a low-temperature volcanic explosion and not associated with a volcanic cone. The rim of ejected fragmental material around the crater often is very low and inconspicuous. The best known of these are in the nearly horizontal, nonvolcanic rocks of the Eifel region in Germany; many contain beautiful little blue lakes. Similar explosion craters have been found in flat-lying rocks in other regions.

The purpose of assistive technology is to facilitate the student's participation in his or her education program and to enable the student to receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). For example, the technology may provide an alternative means of accessing the curriculum (e.g., listening to and following along with a digital textbook), an alternative means of learning, or it may provide access to the school program. Keeping the mandates of the 1997 and 2004 reauthorized IDEA in mind, assistive technology should support the student in the general curriculum and in the least restrictive environment to the greatest extentpossible.
Yes. Under consideration of special factors, the IDEA states "that the IEP team shall consider whether the child requires assistive technology devices and services."
No. AT must be considered for all students with an IEP. The IEP team will determine if AT is required based on the results of assessments/observations, etc.
The IEP team makes the decision of whether students need AT to receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). The IEP team may need to rely on an AT evaluation or consultation from a team of professionals. The team could include: a speech/language pathologist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, special education teacher, psychologist, computer specialist, hearing specialist, vision specialist.
Some school districts may have an assistive technology team identified and trained to provide the assistive technology evaluation on a local level. Parent input and participation is important in the evaluation process and as a member of the IEP team.
A comprehensive AT evaluation is tailored to the individual student's needs. Depending on those needs, the evaluation might address communication, written work, seating, positioning, mobility, academic and nonacademic concerns, access to the general curriculum, access to extracurricular activities, software and hardware options, environmental modifications, training, maintenance of the device, and other issues specific to the student.
AT assessment is a systematic process to ensure that decisions regarding the selection of AT devices are based on information regarding the student's abilities, needs, environments, and tasks. AT assessment includes a team approach, assessment of educational tasks and routines, and is ongoing in nature. Although most AT assessments are not standardized, the assessment process should be replicable and use a framework for effective decision making.
Parents are members of the IEP team and provide input in all decisions regarding AT and the IEP. Parents, and the student, if appropriate, should be invited to participate in all aspects of the process. Parents have information about their child that other team members can use to fit, customize, and adapt technology to meet their needs.
IDEA regulations do not specify a timeline for the provision of assistive technology. However, if AT is determined necessary for a FAPE then it must be provided in a timely manner. "Timely manner" is defined as, "at the same time typically developing peers receive their similar materials." The school district may not delay or deny the provision of AT due to funding issues, if a child requires AT to benefit from the IEP.
The IEP team decides on a case-by-case basis what AT a student needs to benefit from special education and related services. With the exception of cochlear implants or other surgically implanted devices, if a device is included in the IEP, the school is responsible for the provision of that device or ensuring that it is provided at no cost to the parents.
The school system is responsible for acquisition and provision of AT devices. Sometimes, parents may choose to purchase devices and send them to school with the student. Schools may use various funding sources to provide needed AT devices with
parental consent, including but not limited to the following:
It depends on who purchased the device. If the school purchased the device, the school maintains ownership. If the parents' private insurance purchased the device, then it belongs to the student. If Medicaid purchased the device, then Medicaid maintains ownership. A family or other entity (For example, Department of Rehabilitation Services) may enter into an agreement with the purchaser and buy the device(s) at a depreciated amount.
Yes. As stated in the IDEA regulation 34 CFR §300.308 (b), "On a case-by-case basis, the use of school purchased assistive technology devices in a child's home or in other settings is required if the child's IEP team determines that the child needs access to those devices in order to receive FAPE." The IEP team will decide if a student requires the use of school-owned equipment in environments outside the school environment, including the student's home.
The local school district is responsible for:
It may not be possible to provide the same device in the interim. During the development of the student's IEP, IEP teams should identify: the steps to take if the device needs repairs; how they will secure a substitute system; and/ what other technology options used on a temporary basis during the repair process would offer an acceptable substitute to the student's device.
Local school districts should consider transferring the equipment with the student. Participating agencies should discuss the transfer of AT equipment for a student transitioning from school to post-school programs, using Memoranda of Understanding or Interagency Agreements between agencies that procure AT.
The AT team should begin the assessment process again by first gathering information about the student, environment, and tasks then continue the process with a trial of new device(s), collecting data, making a decision, and documenting in the IEP.
Yes. AT devices and services contribute to an appropriate education for a child with disabilities and are subject to the procedural safeguards required by the IDEA, including the right to request a due process hearing. As specified in the Policies and Procedures for Special Education in Oklahoma, parents or guardians may request a hearing to determine whether an educational program is free and/or appropriate for a child with disabilities or for a child alleged to have a disability. Mediation in special education is also available to assist parents and schools in resolving disagreements regarding the education program of a student with disabilities.

ARTSBEAT; 'Trapped in the Closet': More From R. Kelly
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: March 22, 2012
In the space of a blog post we couldn't possibly summarize the story to date of R. Kelly's musical serial ''Trapped in the Closet,'' the continuing narrative of a homewrecker named Sylvester; Cathy, the married woman with whom he had an affair; her cuckolded husband, Rufus; and such dramatis personae as Roxanne, Twan, Pimp Lucius and Rosie the Nosy Neighbor. It's 22 chapters long (so far), and boy is it confusing, even if you've seen it. But R. Kelly will have further opportunities to untangle this narrative -- or to complicate it even more -- in a new series of ''Trapped in the Closet'' episodes that have been ordered by the IFC cable channel.
IFC said it would begin showing new installments of R. Kelly's ''hip hopera'' later this year, as part of a programming lineup that emphasizes new comedy shows. The channel said it was also ordering a new series tentatively titled ''Maron,'' starring the comedian and podcaster Marc Maron in a fictionalized version of his life, and a new animated program called ''Out There,'' chronicling the lives of three small-town adolescent boys and created by Ryan Quincy, a former animation director for ''South Park.'' Both shows are planned for 2013.
IFC also said it was ordering a third season of ''Portlandia,'' its popular comedy series starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, as well as two ''Portlandia'' specials, one that will be shown in the summer and a second that will be shown around the Christmas holiday season. The channel has also ordered a second season of ''Whisker Wars,'' its reality series about the world of facial-hair competitions.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

Faith-based networks expand to prevent HIV
By Robert Few
CHIANG MAI, July 2005 – Phra Wanchai is a hard-working monk, but that doesn't mean you'll find him at the temple he runs in rural Chiang Mai. He's just as likely to be at one of the up-market shopping complexes in town. Or he could be out with DJs and guitarists discussing his next pop concert. So if you really want to speak to him, you should try to ring him on his mobile – that is if he's not already using it to haggle over royalties for the sales of his new album.
Phra Wanchai's life is not one of traditional clerical asceticism. But there is a very good reason for this unorthodox approach to his duties: he runs a youth network called Khrua Khai Fao Rawang Yaowachon Chiang Mai (Network to Protect the Youth of Chiang Mai) and spends much of his time trying to protect its members and their friends from HIV/AIDS. This means raising awareness and encouraging young people to live safer lives. It means taking the message to young people – wherever they are.
"At first I didn't dare go into the shopping complexes," says Pra Wanchai between mobile phone calls, smiling as he recalls his initial fear. "Such places are forbidden to monks. But if you want to reach out to young people, you have to go where they go – you have to balance your aversion against the good you can do for people." Then his face turns deadly serious as he adds, "But I didn't buy anything."
Among the activities Phra Wanchai organises at such youth hangouts are music concerts and competitions for young performers that raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and encourage safer behaviour.
"It is very unusual for a monk to organise a concert, so many young people come to see what it is like," he explains. "I think they are happy to know that a monk is interested in them and wants them to stay away from drugs and be safe."
AIDS rates are starting to rise again in Thailand as risky behaviour including early sex and drug use put increasing numbers of young people at risk. Monks like Phra Wanchai are highly respected in their communities and important partners for raising awareness of HIV/AIDS and encouraging young people to act responsibly.
Phra Wanchai received training from the UNICEF-supported Sangha Metta project, which works with Buddhist clergy to raise awareness, prevent new infections and offer care and support to people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. As monks like Phra Wanchai go on to establish their own projects, the benefit of that initial training spreads far and wide.
"Sangha Metta taught me a lot about HIV/AIDS and how people can protect themselves," he explains. "For example, I learned about homosexuality and transsexuals – that these groups also have a problem with HIV/AIDS. Now our programmes reach out to people of all sexual preferences because everyone can transmit the virus and everyone needs to know about protection."
This new knowledge is included in Phra Wanchai's sermons and the instruction he gives to Buddhist novices. Many young people enter temples during school holidays to become novices for a few weeks – but they don't stop being teenagers just because they are wearing orange robes.
"This is an important opportunity for us to influence the way young people think and to teach them what they need to know," says Phra Wanchai. "Most young people do not know much about how to protect themselves from HIV/AIDS – and novices are no different from other youth. As soon as they take off their robes, they go back to their normal lives, visiting discos and bars."
Other young people who enter the temple more permanently provide an important link to the youth community. Their friends still come to see them and the novices can pass on what they learn about HIV/AIDS.
Outside the temple, Phra Wanchai also runs another project called Kon Dee Sri Chiang Mai (Good People of Chiang Mai). It involves 33 schools whose pupils keep a diary of all the good things they do, based on Buddhist precepts concerning respect, self-control and love. These range from wearing motorcycle helmets to playing with children affected by HIV/AIDS.
"Our schools hold periodic exhibitions showing how they have contributed to social development," says Chainimit Paengnoi, a student at a local university who helps organise events. "These exhibitions are a good chance for young people to share their ideas – and they create a sense of unity among children and encourage them to use their free time more productively."
The good people of Chiang Mai have recently released an album of songs by young people – winners at Phra Wanchai's competitions in the shopping centres of Chiang Mai. The album has been produced by one of Thailand's leading music labels. The message of hope and help is spreading even further.

Barth is a Hoggard High School and University of North Carolina alumnus.
Wilmington native Connor Barth, the starting kicker for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is out for the season after tearing his right Achilles tendon at a charity basketball game on Friday night at Brogden Hall.
Barth, a Hoggard High School and University of North Carolina alumnus, had surgery on Monday, according to a team press release sent out Wednesday. Barth said his surgery was in Charlotte, but could not comment further on how the injury happened.
"I wish I could," he said via text message, "but my agent said he doesn't want me talking to anyone right now."
Barth has one of the league's biggest contracts for a kicker. He signed a four-year deal worth $13.2 million – with $4 million guaranteed – before the 2012 season. He is scheduled to make $2.3 million this season.
He made 28 of 33 field goals in the 2012 season after setting a franchise record in 2011, making 26 of 28 attempts. After starting his career with Kansas City in 2008, he's spent the last three and a half seasons with Tampa Bay.
The team placed Barth on the non-football injured list and signed veteran Lawrence Tynes. He's made 81.5 percent of his career attempts over nine seasons and went 33-for-39 in 2012 with the New York Giants.
"We are disappointed to lose a productive player like Connor, but are very fortunate to be able to sign an experienced kicker at this time of year," Bucs general manager Mark Dominik said in a press release. "Lawrence and his agent, Ken Harris, had other standing opportunities, but we are pleased that they thought this was the right place for Lawrence to continue his career."
Sports editor Dan Spears and correspondent Brett Friedlander contributed to this report.
A look at Connor Barth's professional stats, including field goals and extra points made and attempted. Barth will miss the 2013 season because of a right Achilles tendon tear:

The Book of Blood and Shadow (Paperback)
One night. One body, broken in a pool of blood.
One killer, lost in the shadows.
One girl, left behind.
Left alone, to face the consequences.
To find the truth.
To avenge the dead.
One night is all it takes to change Nora Kane's life forever. Her best friend is dead; her boyfriend has vanished. And the trail of blood leads straight back to her: The person who might be responsible. The person who might be next.
Desperate to save the people she loves and determined to find justice for the ones she's lost, Nora unearths a dark web of secret societies and shadowy conspirators, all driven by a mad desire to possess something that might not even exist. Something to which Nora herself might hold the key. It turns out her night of blood is just one piece in a puzzle that spans continents and centuries--and solving it may be the only way she can save her own life.

text: Well I sat there for days afraid to start digging into all this entaglement of wires, i kept putting it off for other things. I probably read the Painless book 5 times and the haynes manual quite a few times as well. Just decided I was over engineering everything and jsut have to dig into it. I've decided to mount the fuse box under the hood, and im building a cover for it out of plexi glass and I'm going to put a running horse logo on it when im done. The wiring not all that difficult and it seems like it sure eliminates a lot of wires from underneath the hood and in the dash.

In the canyon of Krupa river, SE Velebit, looking into the canyon of Krnjeza river, its tributary whose mouth is close towards left. Water-lily's stalks show how water is crystal clear. If on rafting or hiking you can freely drink it anywhere. This is untouched nature with no industry in hundreds of kilometers around.

If I create a template with portfolio + sidebar, it will show the widgets in "sidebar blog".
How do I stop this from happening?
Also, how do I choose which sidebar I want to appear with the portfolio template?
It depends on how you go about creating the portfolio. There are two ways of going about it. The best way is to
1) Create the portfolio individual pages, add them to portfolio categories
2) Go to Choices > Template Builder and create a template (example) My Cool Portfolio and click save
3) Click 'My Cool Portfolio' on the left menu, and from the dropdown box in the center of the page select "Dynamic Template Page Layout' , here is where you can decide if you want a sidebar on right left or none.
4) Add Element 'Portfolio' from the second dropdown. and click the little arrow on the right side of the Portfolio Tab.
5) You will see all the presets for your Portfolio. Play around with them , add the appropriate categories, and click Save. (see http://i.imgur.com/DzJRo.png)
6) Create a new Page , just give it a title, and on the right bottom area select the 'My Cool Portfolio' from the drop down list of Layout: Overwrite default Post Layout.
Based on what your selection is in step 3 , you portfolio will have no sidebars, or right / left sidebar
Good luck,
The topic 'Stop "Sidebar blog" from appearing on portfolio templates with sidebar' is closed to new replies.


text: The Australian Brumby is a controversial subject for many. Unfortunately there are extremists in every area of argument and emotion can be a powerful motivator but too much can be a powder keg where there is no solution just destruction. While so many people become so damn determined to prove they are RIGHT and no one stops to listen there will be no satisfactory outcome for anyone. Everyone will lose in some way. As long as only 2 options are considered satisfactory, being 1.eradicate or 2. leave them where they are and let them be, there will never be suitable solution found where all parties can benefit. Now the Australian brumby has a proud history in that they are credited with being a major factor in our world war as the Light Horse Brigade for us winning the battles in the middle east and bringing that part of the war to an end. Another group of brumbies are stock horses raised on stations and then bred with Arabian horses to create a horse with the quick footed maneuvering for station work the trade mark of the stock and quarter horses and the stamina and endurance to perform the work needed by station owners to preserve their livelihoods, under very harsh conditions, and so that the animals they farmed could them be sold throughout Australia to feed the millions. There are in fact environmental reports showing how the brumby actually help preserve our native flora and are an important part of the ecosystem in which they live. These horses have had to overcome drought and disease and due to this what we have today is a horse that is extremely hardy and healthy as in the wild it is survival of the fittest. Okay so it doesn't seem possible for them to stay in the habitats that they currently live in with the numbers that are reported by some agencies but the solution is not to kill these very valuable Australian assets either. At this current time all over Australia there are both organisations and experienced private citizens who have placed themselves in a position to be able to assist the relevant government agencies in catching these regal animals and rehoming them so that they can be trained in disciplines celebrating their natural attributes which make them such a stunning horse. In the time that I have become interested in these horses I have had the pleasure of meeting people who have successfully caught, trained and rehomed brumbies and it came as quite a surprise to me that these wild horses could display such a natural affinity with those that were handling them and training them. I imagined, at first, horses that were caught in the bush and then brought back to properties and trying to escape their new holdings and being resistant to human contact in any way let alone training them in suitable disciplines. That was my ignorance through a lack of understanding of these horses which was born from a total lack of knowledge of what these horses were truly like and what they are capable of. Now after some time I have been able to watch brumbies be caught by organisations equipped to do so and then just a matter of days they are positively responding to human contact and training. The intelligence of these horses is abundantly apparent as they move through training sessions and accomplish their benchmarks with such precision and acceptance and display such even temperaments. The temperaments of these horses are anything but wild and the eagerness they display in pleasing their trainers and working with their trainers is a sight in itself not to mention the snuggles with their carers that they just adore. So I say this, we need to preserve these Heritage Horses and the strengths they have developed in mind, body and spirit. At this time the government and relevant agencies feel that the numbers need to be reduced as the land cannot be sustained with the brumbies in their current numbers and so to them the most cost effective way was to eradicate them altogether. The responsible solution would be to reduce current numbers with licensed capture by appropriate brumby associations and then to reduce the capabilities of the brumbies to breed in the wild by selective sterilisation of a portion of mares, fillies, colts and stallions. This could mean that the brumbies and the relevant farmers could live in harmony in the areas where the brumbies live. Now if for some reason there is no possible way to allow any brumbies to remain in the wild then again the solution is not to kill them. All the relevant agencies have to do is work in partnership with the associations and knowledgeable private citizens in catching the brumbies so they can be trained and rehomed to responsible carers which the relevant associations will ensure and do ensure. The Bottom Line to the argument is please don't kill as there is no need to kill! There are easily manageable solutions within grasp so please grab hold and support the lives of Australia's Heritage Horses. Lets work together so we can all be happy!!!!

Game 5: Baldwin 53, Longwood 32
The Nassau/Suffolk Challenge finale goes to the Bruins of Baldwin.
Travais Hylton had a game-high 20 for Baldwin as they ran past their Suffolk foe Longwood, 53-32, on Sunday night at the Hicksville Athletic Center.
The Bruins jumped out to a quick 11-8 lead after a quarter, but the second quarter was where they really took over. Baldwin outscored Longwood 13-5 to close out the half, with Hylton scoring 15 of his 20 in the first half. It was much of the same in the second half as Baldwin would outrun the Lions 13-7 in the third quarter en route to their 21-point win.
Jordan Williams and Elijah McMillan each contributed mightily in the win with eight and six points for Baldwin.
Stephon Odle was the high scorer for Longwood finishing the night with seven points.
Game 4: Deer Park 65, Uniondale 63 (OT)
Suffolk County has claimed the inaugural Nassau/Suffolk Challenge.
Aaren Edmead led the way for Deer Park with 20 points as the Falcons edged Uniondale, 65-63, in overtime Sunday evening at the Hicksville Athletic Center.
Uniondale controlled much of the pace throughout the game and led 39-24 at the half. Aaron Cust was a big reason for the success of the Knights throughout the contest. He finished with a game-high 24 points.
Edmead and Bay Shore surged back in the second half. With 21 seconds remaining in regulation, Edmead fed Carrell Joseph (7 points) in the low post to tie the ballgame at 56 to head into the extra session.
Bay Shore outscored Uniondale 9-7 in the overtime period. Edmead hit three free throws in the final seconds to build a 64-61 lead, but Alan McDonald would drain a pair of free throws to cut the lead to only one. Edmead would hit 1-of-2 free throws to make It 65-63. Uniondale would have the ball with 0.3 seconds left under the Deer Park basket, but Cust's acrobatic shot went off the rim as the Falcons held on for the victory.
Game 3: Smithtown West 55, Hicksville 49
Suffolk took back control of the Nassau/Suffolk Challenge after a tightly contested second half that saw the Comets of Hicksville cut the lead to as close as four points.
Ryan Hickey led the way for the Bulls with 15 points and six assists as Smithtown West edged Hicksville, 55-49, in game three of the 1st Annual Nassau/Suffolk Challenge late Sunday afternoon at the Hicksville Athletic Center.
Hicksville was down by 13 points after the first half at 40-27, but the Comets led by Terrence Danns' 21 points and 9 rebounds battled back into contention.
Eric Joseph had a double-double in the win for the Bulls scoring 12 points and adding 10 rebounds.
Game 2: Farmingdale 64, Central Islip 60 (OT)
Photos: Gallery 1 - Gallery 2 - Highlights
Nassau evened things up, but not without some dramatics.
Dalique Mingo had a game-high 32 points as Farmingdale staved off a hungry Central Islip quad, besting the Musketeers 64-60 in overtime as part of the 1st Annual Nassau/Suffolk Challenge Sunday afternoon from the Hicksville Athletic Center.
Central Islip stormed back from a 36-24 deficit in the fourth quarter by outscoring the Dalers 26-17 in the final frame. The Musketeers were led by Isaiah Booker's 24 points.
Kevin Petit-Frere had a double-double for Farmingdale, adding 13 points and 13 rebounds.
Game 1: Amityville 75, South Side 65
Photos: Gallery 1 - Gallery 2 - Highlights
Score one for Suffolk County.
Kavione Greene led all players with 28 points as Amityville bested Nassau County's South Side, 75-65 in the first game of the 1st Annual Nassau/Suffolk Challenge Sunday morning from the Hicksville Athletic Center.
Four different Amityville (10-2, 7-0) shooters had points in double figures as the Warriors pulled ahead from South Side (5-5, 4-2) in the first half. Travis Dickerson completed Greene's monster effort with 18 points of his own.
The Cyclones had five different shooters in double-figures as they trailed for most of the contest, cutting Amityville's lead to as little as 7 points at one point. Gerald Mitchell led his team with 15 points, while Paul Pandolfi and Alex Sorensen had 12 each.

Book Review: Grin with Grace by Kathy Carlton Willis
Have you ever felt the need to bite your tongue or grit your teeth? Grin with Grace explores ways to genuinely smile in the face of adversity and challenging circumstances. Sometimes, we just need to grin with grace! God blesses us with His grace, and it impacts our relationship with Him and with others.
Each chapter features five sections:
• Grin with Grace contains real-life stories and observations. You'll laugh at the humorous confessions and wacky insights, and relate to Kathy's transparent honesty. Be inspired to see grace in your everyday life.
• Grow with Grace features a grace word study. Kathy examines Bible verses and personalizes the meaning to your situation. Workbook prompts allows you to write down your thoughts as you read along.
• Go with Grace offers life application. Pick one action step and make it work for you, or pick all of them—but do something to live out your grace-walk.
• Give with Grace advances life application further, equipping you to become an instrument of God's grace to others. You'll be inspired to take what you've learned and give it away to others. This is when faith becomes ministry—when your focus expands to see the needs of others.
• Your Grin with Grace Challenge describes a grace-challenging scenario to give you an opportunity to exercise your newfound grace. It allows for speculation and judgment calls, to prepare you for the what-ifs that happen in life.
I love an authentic Bible study. I don't want to read someone who has life all together because I know it's a lie. Kathy Carlton Willis is transparent and downright funny as she shares her own stories as well as Biblical and word accounts that all are about grace. From corn abundance in the bathroom to having grace in your speech when the other person isn't giving the same—Kathy covers it all and does it well.
This is easy-to-read with things to think about and work on when it comes to grace. I think it's a great study for any level of faith—from the beginner just learning the Bible to someone who has been walking in faith but needing a refresher in grace.
I highly recommend.
I received Grin with Grace in exchange for an honest review.

Love the site. Grin with grace is sometimes the only thing you can do. At least that is pleasing to God.
