Cleveland kidnapping survivors Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus receive Hope Award, give emotional speech [Video]
Cleveland kidnapping survivors Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were presented with the Hope Award from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, May 6.
The women were honored for surviving a decade-long captivity at the hands of kidnapper Ariel Castro when they were only teenagers. A third Castro survivor, Michelle Knight, was acknowledged at the event, but did not receive a Hope Award because she was 21 at the time of her abduction.
Amanda Berry was kidnapped by Castro on April 21, 2003, when she was 17-years old. She was repeatedly raped in captivity, and gave birth to a daughter, Jocelyn.
Gina DeJesus was friendly with the Castro family before her kidnapping on April 2, 2004 at the age of 14. She has described being chained, repeatedly raped, and suffering other atrocities at the hands of her captor.
DeJesus, Knight, Berry, and her now seven-year old Jocelyn escaped on May 6, 2013, after Berry was able to summon help.
On the anniversary of their rescue, two of the women were honored at the 2014 Hope Awards for "their courage and resilience and for giving hope to families still searching for their missing children," according to NCMEC's website.
In accepting her award, Berry offered words of encouragement to those searching for missing children.
"If I could say only one thing, it would be this: Never give up hope, because miracles do happen," she said through tears.
DeJesus echoed that sentiment.
"Always believe in hope," she emphasized, "even though sometimes it's hard to believe in hope. Just pray to God, and God will give you that hope."
Berry and DeJesus also met President Obama and Vice President Biden at the White House during their D.C. trip.
The two women are working on a book about their ordeal and life after their escape. Michelle Knight released her memoir, "Finding Me," on May 6.

Has anybody else visited the new, spacious Oceanview Market on Alemany where Cala used to be?
The place is huge and spotless and carries a diverse array of Asian dry goods, housewares, a bakery and a full liquor section and produce that seems much fresher than that at MOM, as well as decent butcher/live fish counters. I was there too early in the day to judge the prepared foods, but they do have a steam table, the usual roast ducks and chickens and a milk tea counter.
I don't know how their prices compare to the best Asian groceries in the Avenues, but this place isn't much further out than MOM and it's much easier to park and navigate. In my quick perusal, I think MOM may have a better selection of fresh soy products and such. However, this store carries some organics, including the soba/noodle line I've been getting at Nijiya, as well as a wide selection of the Wei-chuan products discussed in the linked thread below (many of which are on sale right now). The freezer section is positively vast and a bit difficult to figure out.
I can't find it via google or an archive search, but it's in the shopping center containing a Bally Fitness (3900 block), the cross streets are Kempton Ave & Palmetto Ave.

Comments about PDP by DW Chrome Plated Drum and Cymbal Rack Package:
This rack can be summed up in three words: fast, durable, versatile. I purchased this rack as a replacement for a Gibraltar power rack. For the longest time swore by Gibraltar rack gear only, forsaking any others, until I found this rack. The memory locks on this rack allow you to tear the whole rack down for transportation, then when ready, you can set it back up in minutes. My PDP rack spends a good deal of time in the back of a trailer with lots of other drum/PA gear traveling from town to town. All the hardware is durable enough to survive even the most extreme transportation conditions. All the clamps/locks are solid metal with no cheap plastic parts. I've added on the side wings which integrate with the base rack flawlessly. If you're planning on using this rack as a base to build off of, with the intention of mounting toms, I would suggest another T-Leg rather than the wings, however. The side wings, while perfect for additional cymbals, lack enough support to hold up any drum larger than 12". Adding a T-Leg fixes this problem and gives you even more configuration options. Bottom line: If you're looking for a versatile yet durable rack, you can't go wrong here. This is a great jumping point for any rack and with a large selection of add-ons available you can truly create the perfect drum rack.
Comments about PDP by DW Chrome Plated Drum and Cymbal Rack Package:
I bought this rack back in January and I absolutly love it! Its extremely durable, while at the same time being very light weight so its easy to move. The bottom has rubber feet, so it doesn't slip on a hard surface, and a screw with a pointed end that you're able to tighten with a drum key for when you're on carpet. The clamps for the rack are extremely nice and are easy to use. They open and close on hinges that extend outward, and come in a variety. Some are adjustable, and all of them hav a memory lock. The cymbal stands are excellent, however you want to consider buying new felts, as the ones included are extremely rigid. Overall, this is an excellent quality rack that will last an entire lifetime. A must have for all drummers with big kits!

Parkland Memorial Hospital is behind schedule on two critical government safety mandates — ensuring enough psychiatrists are on duty and developing ways to track the supervision of doctors-in-training.
Both problems rank among federal regulators' top priorities for eliminating dangers at the troubled public hospital as part of a sweeping reorganization. Under the government-imposed plan, Parkland must meet 400 initiatives to remove systemic safety risks to patients over the next year to keep hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicare and Medicaid funding.
Many of the details behind the delays, however, remain unclear. Parkland's board of managers has refused to release monthly compliance reports issued by onsite safety monitors. It has also insisted on discussing the regulatory issues behind closed doors, citing confidentiality protections under the Texas Health and Safety Code and other laws. It met privately for six hours Monday.
During an open meeting Tuesday, Parkland officials released a bullet-point summary of the April compliance report and said the hospital met most of the required tasks in the government plan. They include improving oversight of nurses and the administration of medications.
"We believe Parkland has continued to make measurable progress in April," the summary quoted monitors as saying.
But efforts to correct two problems repeatedly flagged by the government as persistent hazards to patients — poor oversight of psychiatric patients and lax supervision of medical residents — remain in flux.
In a February report, safety monitors said UT Southwestern Medical Center psychiatrists spend little time in the Parkland psychiatric emergency department, working three to four shifts a month. That has translated into "limited commitment" to psychiatric ER care, the report said.
Parkland's first compliance report in March, obtained by The Dallas Morning News through an open-record request to the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said the hospital had missed the initial deadline for beefing up that staff.
Parkland officials noted Tuesday that as of this month, the targeted staff level still has not been reached.
The psych ER has seen turnover of nearly 100 percent in the last year, including firings, reassignments and voluntary departures, following investigations by The News and regulators exposing abuses and questionable deaths.
The good news, according to Parkland interim CEO Dr. Thomas Royer, is that his staff recently reached an agreement with UTSW, which provides most of Parkland's doctors, to provide more psychiatrists. The hospital will hire a new physician leader and add a third medical shift.
In a marked departure from long-standing hospital procedures, Parkland also plans to hire temporary physicians, the first such doctors permitted to work at Parkland since the charity hospital struck an affiliation agreement with UTSW in 1943. The medical school faculty and residents in training provide most of the medical care at Parkland.
"They would work in the psych ED until the new [UTSW] faculty members arrive in July or August," Royer said.
Parkland officials would not comment on whether negotiations with UTSW to change the contract to expand staffing have held up the process.
UTSW said in a written statement Tuesday that it had reached an agreement "in principle" and that the medical school does not discuss contract terms until they are finalized.
In the statement, UTSW also said, "It takes time to find qualified psychiatric emergency practitioners and to ensure they are properly credentialed."
Parkland also has been under pressure from safety monitors to ensure that resident doctors from UTSW are properly supervised by the medical school's faculty physicians, as required by federal billing rules and graduate medical education accreditation standards. The monitors have required that Parkland develop a central data-tracking system as part of the remedies.
Ronald Laxton, Parkland's chief implementation officer, told the board of managers Tuesday that policing resident supervision is highly complex.
"It's a mousetrap," he said. "We need to know exactly where the covering physicians are. No one gets wiggle room."
In response to questions from The News, a Parkland spokeswoman said late Tuesday that "software-related" challenges have also complicated efforts to implement tracking controls.
Board chairwoman Debbie Branson said she is working to find a balance between keeping some of the board's business closed to the public to reduce the hospital's legal risks while keeping the public informed of critical details related to the hospital's turnaround.
"We understand the public has a key interest in these issues," she said.
David Wright, deputy regional director for CMS, said it is too early to gauge what Parkland's efforts mean for the long haul. But oversight by safety monitors gives the government an opportunity to ensure Parkland is seriously tackling the most serious issues.
"We've always had a sense of urgency about the psych department," he said. "Now we've got a better idea of underlying issues, and we'll continue to focus more specifically on those issues that aren't progressing as fast as other ones."

Talking Points -- There's no immunity to financial mess we're all a part of
Way out here in out-of-the-way country, we kind of like to think we're immune from a lot of what happens in the rest of the country.
We like to think a lot of the whacky trends that are all the rage on the coasts will be exposed as just that -- whacky trends -- before anyone out here gets a notion to jump into them.
I've heard more than a few people say that they think it's the same with our current economic situation. We're not Michigan or some other area that was crushed when the economy was in free fall. We're getting by pretty good. We're immune to most of it.
In a comparative sense, that might be true. We're not a Detroit with its gutted auto industry. We're not New York, with its collapsing mega-banks and destitute financial firms.
But we are in no way immune.
Morris-area residents learned last week that Coborn's grocery would be closing this fall. That's 50 jobs and a business that contributed to the community -- gone.
And remember that the DENCO ethanol plant and its nearly 40 jobs are still idle. Several other businesses in the area are suffering from shrinking orders and have needed to lay off workers.
Read newspapers from around the region -- if the newspaper hasn't shut down -- and you'll see that it seems like foreclosure notices take up half the legals.
Even the farm industry, which we lean on to keep things rolling in tough times and good, is dealing with major issues. It doesn't matter if its crops, cattle or cows, all sectors are taking a beating.
A monthly survey of rural bankers in 11 Midwest and Plains states seems to back that up.
It's call The Rural Mainstreet Index, and it dropped to 32.6 in July which is down a few points from what it was in June and May.
That would seem to be good news since the index's numbers are significantly higher than its record low of about 17 points in February. Then you see that, according to the index, that a mark of 50 is considered neutral growth.
Ernie Goss, a Creighton University economist, and a Nebraska banker created the survey, which covers Minnesota, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.
According to an Associated Press report on the survey, bankers are not confident that in six months things will be any better. Farm economists say a drop in farm income is hurting related sales for equipment and land.
Goss told the AP that only 6.3 percent of the bankers believe farm income this year will increase over last year, and that a third believe it will decrease in 2009, despite predictions that yields will be substantially higher this year.
The survey's index for rural hiring fell in July over June, and the report states that it was the 19th straight month that the new-hire index was below the neutral growth levels. Goss said he believes the job losses will continue.
The survey's retail sales index is falling, as is the home sales index.
None of those surveyed said they've seen any real impact from the federal stimulus package.
The survey covered almost 200 communities and that the average population was about 1,300.
That's a picture of the typical heartland community, the ones we might have thought were immune to the economic distress. But we are learning that -- north, south, east or west -- what we all seem to be immune to is any sense of optimism that a meaningful uptick is coming soon.

You're in college! And that's pretty f-ing sweet. It's going to be weird being away from your parents. For some of you–it'll be the independence you need. You'll seek out that first internship, study late before exams, begin to learn the art of partying just enough, and take note when you party too much. You'll take each moment with stride, call up your family or friends when frustrated. You'll find that college was your right of passage into being trusted by your family, to do your own thing, to be your own person.
For some others, this was the break-free moment you were waiting for–grabbing independence by the horns and riding it to every open door to a party, drinking every shot, shrugging your way through class, and finding out what academic probation really means. To you, college was an escape, but then you'll realize it was a test that you might fail. And maybe it's time to grow up after all.
You don't realize what college is until you've passed it by. It is classes when you want it, it's teachers who don't care about your small needs, it's teachers that make every effort to help you understand, its people smarter than you, people prettier than you, it's people different from you. You play, you study, you try to make money. Each class is one more knocked off your requirements. Day by day. Semester by semester. Till graduation.
Then, whether you've gone through college like a breeze or struggled at every turn. You still whisper the same thing at the end. "What's next?"
Good luck in college, and make it your own.
With love,

Palestinians Held in PA Jails for Zeevi Killing Go on Hunger Strike
At least 37 Palestinians held in Palestinian Authority (PA)prisons under suspicion of involvement in the assassination of Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi began a hunger strike on Friday to protest against their arrests, reported the Tel Aviv-based daily Haaretz.
Al Jazeera satellite channel reported seven more arrests Saturday.
The hunger strikers, who belong mainly to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which claimed responsibility for killing the far-right minister on October 17, said they had been in police custody for eight days.
"We declare that our hunger strike started this morning under the slogan 'freedom or death'," they said in a statement.
The PFLP killed Zeevi to avenge Israel's assassination of their leader, Abu Ali Mustafa, in a missile strike in August.
Israel sent troops and tanks into six Palestinian cities in the West Bank and attacked Beit Reema village near Ramallah after Zeevi was slain, in its largest offensive since the start of the current Intifada over a year ago.
Israel has agreed to withdraw from the re-occupied West Bank cities if the Palestinian Authority keep the areas "quiet."
A gradual pullback is to start Saturday night from Beit Jala and Bethlehem, according to AFP.
Al Jazeera said that a low-profile joint security meeting was being held Saturday morning to prepare for Israel's withdrawal from Beit Jala.
Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said that a significant number of "terrorists" have been apprehended in the 10 days of incursions into PA-ruled areas – Albawaba.com

Mixing alcohol with drugs increases the risk of dangerous side effects. The impact of taking illegal drugs is always unpredictable and if mixed with alcohol effects can range from nausea to death.
Know about… mixing alcohol and amphetamines
Taking amphetamines speeds up heart rate, breathing and blood pressure. A combination of alcohol and amphetamines will put pressure on your heart and could cause death. Amphetamines can also raise your body temperature and cause dehydration. Dehydration will worsen if alcohol is added to the mix. Amphetamines can make you feel like you have more energy and confidence but can also when combined with alcohol, make you aggressive and paranoid.
Know about… mixing alcohol and cannabis
Using alcohol and cannabis together can lead to the cannabis having a much stronger effect than it would normally have. Side effects can be physical and psychological. When using both alcohol and cannabis together you may experience, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, paranoia or panic.
Know about… mixing alcohol and cocaine
People often take cocaine when they are drinking because they think it helps them keep going or sober up. In fact it is dangerous to mix cocaine and alcohol. When both cocaine and alcohol enter into the bloodstream they form a toxic substance known as cocaethylene, which is more toxic than either drug alone. It has been linked with damage to the liver and can cause fatal heart damage. Mixing cocaine and alcohol can lead to aggressive and violent behaviour.
Know about… mixing alcohol and ecstasy (MDMA)
Both alcohol and ecstasy will dehydrate you and taking a combination of both means you will be at risk of overheating and becoming dangerously dehydrated. The combination of alcohol and ecstasy puts pressure on the liver and kidneys.
Know about… mixing alcohol and heroin
Heroin slows down your heart rate and breathing. The likelihood of overdose increases when alcohol and heroin are taken together.
Know about alcohol… and legal highs
Because so called 'legal highs' are relatively new there is little known about them. Negative side effects can include nose bleeds, heart palpitations and, limbs turning blue or changes to behaviour and personality. Some of the drugs are stimulants and carry similar risks associated with cocaine and ecstasy including seizures and fits.

Man of steal: Ellsbury swipes team-record five bases
PHILADELPHIA — Jacoby Ellsbury left Citizens Bank Ballpark tonight with an unexpected souvenir — second base.
The Red Sox center fielder stole a team-record five bases in a 9-2 victory against the Phillies. When he returned to the clubhouse, he learned the Phillies sent over a base as a memento.
"It's pretty neat. I wasn't expecting that," Ellsbury said. "I'll put it in the house."
What a turnaround. If Shane Victorino had been healthy 10 days ago, John Farrell might have hit him leadoff and dropped Ellsbury down. Ellsbury was struggling to get on base and had become a detriment to the offense. But without a suitable replacement, Ellsbury remained where he was.
"There was a lot of talk of getting him out of the leadoff spot," Farrell said. "But felt like we started to see some signs of it coming. We stayed with him."
Ellsbury had three hits and a walk on Thursday. The five steals were the most for a major league player since Tampa Bay's Carl Crawford stole six bases against — you guessed it — the Red Sox on May 3, 2009.
Ellsbury did not score after any of his steals. But the runs will pile up if he continues to get on base.
"It brings our offense to another level, that speed factor," Dustin Pedroia said. "He can run at will. It's a pretty big part of our offense when he's playing like that."
The 33-22 Sox split the four-game home-and-home interleague series against the Phillies. With the Yankees getting swept in four games by the Mets, the Sox take a two-game lead into the Bronx on Friday and the start of a three-game series against their rivals.
Ellsbury was 0 for 4 against the White Sox on May 20, grounding to second base four times. That dropped his batting average to .241 and his on-base percentage to .303.
He is 16 of 40 (.400) since with eight walks, six runs scored, and eight stolen bases. Ellsbury is now hitting .268 with a .337 OBP.
"The biggest thing is my work ethic, how much time I put," Ellsbury said. "With that builds confidence. I knew it was just a matter of time before hits start falling."
Ellsbury's 21 stolen bases (on 23 attempts) lead the majors.
Ellsbury was so unstoppable against Phillies catcher Erik Kratz that he even used his speed to gain vengeance.
Teammate Jonny Gomes homered off Philadelphia reliever Jeremy Horst in the sixth inning and the next pitch was a fastball that drilled Ellsbury in the back. He stole second and third, glancing back at the pitcher each time.
"Definitely lit a fire a little bit," Ellsbury said. "I was going to try to get to third as quick as possible."
In case you were wondering, bases are left dirty when they're framed and hung on a wall.
"Looks better," Ellsbury said.
• The Red Sox had 14 hits off four Philadelphia pitchers. Jarrod Saltalamacchia doubled twice and drove in three runs. Jose Iglesias was 2 for 5 with an RBI double. He is 9 of 23 since getting recalled from Triple A Pawtucket.
• Franklin Morales allowed two runs over five innings in his first appearance for the Sox since Aug. 22. Morales have up four hits with two walks and two strikeouts. He has allowed three earned runs in 14.1 career innings against the Phillies, all at Citizens Bank Park.
• David Ortiz had a towering solo home run in the seventh inning. Since 2005, Ortiz has hit 20 home runs in 40 games and 171 at-bats as a first baseman. Ortiz had an uneventful night at first base, too.
"Nobody hit the ball to me. I was out there saying to myself, 'Come on (expletives), give me a shot. I want to make a play,' " Ortiz said.

PC Wakes from sleep, but only partially
The last 3 days or so my PC has woke up from sleep mode, or standby mode about 2-3 times each night. And the weird part about it. Is the PC wakes up. It turns on and my lights and fans and water-cooling kick into gear. The Monitor Turns on, or wakes up as well. But the odd part is the Monitor lights up, but stays this not grey, but not white color. Like backlight only.. No sign in screen, no background. Nothing. And once I move my mouse, or hit a key. It fully wakes up and I'm able to type in my password and log-in.
Very odd, I've build MANY a computers. and none have ever PARTIALLY woke from sleep mode, but not all the way. It's very bizarre and I'm pretty confused atm. It's been on the last 3 days in a row when I get off work also, witch makes me think it's been running all day when I get home.. Now thats ok, I'd just like to figure out what the hell it's doing, and why only partially waking up.
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2010
Here is a selection from out excellent collection of tutorials. I think that you may find the answer, in the section on computer wakes unexpectedly.
Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems - Vista Forums
I am thiking in terms, stop it from waking fully or partially, I think would require the same solution.
The Vista solution should be the same as the 7 solution.

Install all your drivers, starting with chipset and then update the motherboard's BIOS. Out of interest, is nothing tapping the keyboard or mouse while you sleep?
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2010
No the keyboard and mice both side out of sight..
The drivers I could maybe try reinstalling the Nvidia drivers, but updating my Bios and all that is a little much for now. It's not like it's always done this. it just started. Mobo BIOs updates I try not to do unless completely needed.. but I'll try the above tutorials.. thanks

If its a wireless keyboard/mouse make sure nothing is leaning on it. Everything should be up to date on your PC, including any monitor or dvd firmware and especially the BIOS for your motherboard. There could be additional features or support you are missing out on.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
If it is any consolation, I have been experiencing pretty much the same issue. On rare occasion the entire computer will wake up completely in the middle of the night--lights all ablaze.
I figure it is one of 3 things:
1. some random radio interference affecting my wireless mice (I have 2 of them).
2. a Ghost watching over me, who has gotten bored and wants to do some mischief.
3. one of the programs is "kicking on" and partially activating. (Antivirus updating, adobe trying to update (even though I thought I had turned this irritating pgm off), scheduled defrag, etc)
The computer pretty much goes back into dark screen in a couple of minutes so I was never bothered enough to try to figure this out.
Maybe I should take the time and look into it.

No mine wakes up.. all lights and fans a blazing.. BUT THE MONITOR. it turns on. and lights up my entire room being an IPS Panel 24" but it doesn't fully turn on. so the LCD is activated, and brightens up. but never goes to the sign in, or login screen or anything. it stays Grey.. lol. very odd.
Thanks Rich and Frost.. Yea my Bios is a little old and 7 wasn't out back then, but then again it's worked fine with this bios since the first builds of 7 so I can't see it starting now. thats my only thought on that. but I'll try updating a few drivers and things of that sort.
I have Wired G11 and G9 Key/Mouse

PHOENIX, July 8 (UPI) -- Job satisfaction among U.S. workers varies based on location, education level, age and the size of one's employer, a national survey found.
Results of a survey of 1,600 workers, conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of the University of Phoenix, show that more than half of adult workers -- 55 percent -- are considering changing careers with 24 percent considered extremely interested in a change.
Only 14 percent of respondents indicated they were in their dream career, the survey found. Arts and science, business management and technology made up the top three careers in terms of workers who considered it their dream career, the University of Phoenix said.
But many variables came into play. Seventy-eight percent of workers age 20-29 indicated they were considering a career change. That dropped to 64 percent among respondents in their 30s and 54 percent among those in their 40s.
In the next two age groups, 51 percent of respondents in their 50s and 26 percent of respondents in their 60s indicated they were considering a career change.
Location mattered, too. In San Francisco, 60 percent indicated they were not considering a career change at all. That compares with 45 percent nationwide, the survey found.
On the other side of the country, workers in New York City indicated the lowest percentage of job satisfaction with 33 percent indicating they were extremely interested in a career change, compared with 24 percent as a national average.
The survey found 52 percent of workers in companies with under 100 employees indicated they were not considering a career change. In companies with 100 to 10,000 workers, 38 percent indicated they were not interested in a career change. But that figure rose to 42 percent among employees with companies with 10,000 or more employees.
As might be expected, given the investment in time and money, those with a college degree are more likely than others to have followed the path they envisioned when they were younger.
The survey found 79 percent of respondents without a bachelor's degree who indicated they had career plans when they were young also indicated they were no longer working in that career. That dropped to 63 percent among respondents with a bachelor's degree or higher, the study found.
The Working Adult survey was conducted online between April 18-26. Harris Interactive said the survey "is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated."

The first player signed by the Vancouver Whitecaps when it made the jump up to MLS isn't going anywhere soon.
Jay DeMerit has re-signed with the club, the 'Caps announced on Monday.
Per Major League Soccer and club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"Vancouver has always felt like home and together with my wife, we have a sense of purpose and belonging here in BC," DeMerit said in a statement released by the club. "The fans of this club have always been tremendous. They deserve to have success and they deserve players who reflect the loyalty that they show us. With the strong nucleus we have created over the past few years, together with the young talent we will help grow, I believe the future of this club is bright and I look forward to being a part of it."
DeMerit, 34, has been an integral part of the Whitecaps since they joined MLS in 2011, wearing the armband as the club's captain since day one and starting 64 matches in all competitions.
Last season saw him suffer a ruptured Achilles tendon in the season opener, but he returned from the injury in early September and helped the 'Caps nearly snag a second-straight playoff berth.
- Get all the latest Whitecaps news from WhitecapsFC.com
In 2014, under first-year coach in Carl Robinson, DeMerit is expected to be a calming presence on the backline.
"As he has proven over the last three seasons, Jay is an important member of our club," Robinson said in a statement. "He's a total leader. His dedication and professionalism were on full display last season when he returned from a serious injury earlier than expected and proved that he could still compete at a high level. The experience, energy, and standards Jay brings to our group is second to none and we're delighted that he has committed to continuing his career with our club."

Club Resort Intervals Offers Tips to Reduce Common Travel Complaints
The Club Resort Intervals complaints prevention team gives travels suggestions on how to avoid issuing common travel complaints.
One complaint that travelers commonly have involves personal belongings getting lost, stolen, or damaged while traveling. This can be devastating and ruin a vacation, especially if the item is difficult or expensive to replace. The easiest way to avoid this from happening is to be selective about items that are packed. If something is irreplaceable, it should stay at home and travelers should have a limit on the number of valuable items on a trip.
Additionally, it is helpful to back up data on laptops in case of damage. Knowing airline insurance policies ahead of time is important to understand what they will cover in regards to loss or damage of expensive items as well as to guard against these issues while traveling.
Another common complaint that many people have while traveling is unexpected fees. These can include the cost of certain meals or added on fees for survices while while on vacation. The Club Resort Intervals complaints prevention team also has some suggestions on how to avoid these kinds of problems. First, consider trying to cut food expenses by packing snacks and food ahead of time. Having sandwiches packed away in a cooler while on a road trip instead of stopping for fast food will help cut down on costs. Additionally, when parks or events allow it, bring in sealed water bottles instead of buying beverages. To avoid unexpected fees, read the fine print on offers and fully research the costs of things like ticket prices and any service fees.
If travelers prepare ahead of time and know what to avoid, Club Resort Intervals is sure that they will be able to have an enjoyable and complaint free vacation. To find out more about the expert service and unique offerings of Club Resort Intervals, visit http://www.crivacation.com.

Art Jewelry Elements Summertime Design Challenge
The Art Jewelry Elements team chose 'Summertime' as the theme for their June design challenge. I signed up to participate, even as I was thinking "How I am going to get inspired by my least favorite season?" Initially I planned to design jewelry that represented what first comes to my mind when I think of summer. But how would I translate "sweltering" into jewelry? Continue reading
We're All Ears Design Challenge: Strawberries

Does Crafting Count as Exercising?
Last month I joined the FitBit Nation when I received a lovely turquoise blue FitBit Charge for my birthday. I was not in the market for a FitBit for many reasons, not the least of which is I tend to run the opposite direction from any fad or trend. If "everyone" is rushing to get one, it's the last thing I want. I think that makes me what the technology industry calls a "late adopter." Continue reading
We're All Ears Design Challenge: Ferns
The inspiration for April's We're All Ears earring design challenge was images of fiddlehead ferns. There are many design elements to choose from in the images, from the spiral shapes of the coiled fiddleheads to the feathery unfurled green leaves.
I've had fiddlehead ferns in salads and stir fry when I lived in Alaska. They're quite tasty. I've looked for them in the produce section of my local Whole Foods here in the Mid Atlantic and have not seen them. Maybe I need to visit an actual farmer's market for something so exotic?

Art Jewelry Elements Design Challenge: Eye Love Beads
I'm so glad the Art Jewelry Elements design team is continuing the open challenges this year. I had a great time with the themes last years challenges. And the theme they chose to kick off 2016 is another fun one: Eye Love Beads. As in, jewelry with eyes.
No, not actual eyes. That would be a little too Silence of the Lambs. Rather, the challenge is to design a piece of jewelry, an art bead, or a component with eye symbolism. I had been hoarding an "evil eye" component and this was a perfect opportunity to set it free from my stash. Continue reading
We're All Ears Design Challenge: Arabesque

We're All Ears February Earring Design Challenge
The inspiration for the February "We're All Ears" earring design challenge was a photo of a statue on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The statue is an 18th century standing Buddha.

Aaragorn symbolizes Jesus and it's just out there and it's a great way to portray him in such an epic adventure/story like the Lord of The Rings. Frodo and Sam's bond is like what we(Christians), should have with one another.Even tho in the film Sam was supposed to go with Frodo with the Elves( he helped Frodo bear the Ring), to a "heaven" like place, as a reward for bearing the ring. It's an EXCELLENT example of Christians going to heaven for living for Christ and having a personal relationship with Jesus and having eternal life. :P

The Passion Of The Christ (2004)
I can't handle gore well, so I'm unsure about seeing the film, but I know it's well done and has made an impressive impact among the world.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Everything C.S. Lewis does is awesome and he's one of my Christian heros, so to speak and he knows a lot about Christianity and about Jesus' love for us, portrayed through Aslan.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
My favorite movie, but the whole idea of Fellowship is a symbolism of the fellowship us Christians have, should have..with one another. Sticking together, conquering evil, it's all good man! haha
4crazyweldermen's rating:
^^Same as Lion Witch and the..yea.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
The book is filled with Christianity and I'm assuming the film will have it to.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
The Ten Commandments (1956)
Some things are off, but it's a movie and it's utterly amazing and impressive.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Ben-Hur (1959)
what can I say! Classic!
4crazyweldermen's rating:
The Road (2009)
It doesn't seem to be a Christian film, but the message is very similar to Christ's similar sacrifice, for mankind's sins. You have to see it.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Not a Christian film, persay, but Tolkein was a Christian and the characters have morals and he uses a lot of Biblical implications.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
The Lord of the Rings (1978)
Surprized I haven't watched this..hmm.
Want to seeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

I carn't wait to seeeeeeee!!
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Dead Man Walking (1995)
Sean Penn is supposed to be excellent in this. I want to see it pretty bad.
End of the Spear (2005)
Based on a true story of a few missionaries. It's sad, but worth watching.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Facing the Giants (2006)
Sad/happy movie with great Biblical references and a man's struggle with his relationship with The Almighty.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Chariots of Fire (1981)
Inspirational, only word to describe it really.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Tender Mercies (1983)

Made me cry, it's a great story and filled with emotion, struggle and redemption.

The Mission (1986)
Left Behind: The Movie (2000)
One of the first modern, popular Christian films.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Based on Revelations.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
The first two are decent, this is a much better understanding of some of "Revelations".
4crazyweldermen's rating:
A Man for All Seasons (1966)
A great classic story and very interesting.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Babette's Feast (1987)
The Keys of the Kingdom (1944)
The Song of Bernadette (1943)
looks killer! Amazing book.
I Am Legend (2007)
At first I didn't think this would be on here, but when talking with a friend, the end made me realize why it should be one here.
4crazyweldermen's rating:
Not a list necessarily about films that are about Christianity, but movies that have strong faith/moral/biblical based implications. Some have influenced me a lot as well.

Two decades on and they're still in fine voice.
Twenty years ago, a choir got together for a one-off performance at St Mary's Church in Eccleston to help celebrate its 900th anniversary.
The choir – The Good News Singers – was formed from the three churches and anyone else in Eccleston that wanted to join. It took its name from the piece of music it sang, Sing Good News.
It's still going strong today – and on Sunday celebrated its 20th birthday, once more rolling back the years and performing Sing Good News.
Original choir member Ann Singleton, of Eccleston, said: "After 20 years, you wouldn't think a choir formed for a one-off performance would be as active and thriving as we are.
"Well, nothing could be further from the truth.
"Over the years, we have sung at so many places with so many different people and we always have fun.
"We have sung from Abba to classical, Christmas hits and Christmas carols with a recorder going around the village to the older people to a brass quartet at the chapel."
She added: "We have raised more than £30,000 over the years doing two concerts a year and having different charities supported at each one.
"We have sung on Radio 4 Sunday Morning Worship four times – three in Eccleston and once at Blackpool.
"We have sung for Children In Need for a premier performance at the Guild Hall which was on radio and also with a mass choir for another performance at the Guild Hall.
"We have also sung at the Bridgewater Hall with, again, a mass choir, singing a piece, by a local musician, called Ano Domini.
"We have been to Wales, Morecambe, Lancaster, Orrell and been invited to many more places to sing. We have also sang at St Mary's Catholic Church in Leyland with the Guild Singers in two concerts.
"As a one-off, we have done really well and hope to continue for many years to come. We always welcome new members."
There from the very start, Susan Guenault and her husband Mark, the organ player, are still the organist and conductor.
The choir has many original members and some of the children that took part in the anniversary concert now have children of their own and are still members.
Another member Ann Worthington, who joined in 1995 after hearing them sing at the church's 900th celebrations, said: "I was absolutely blown away by the choir and the music they were performing and I just had to join.
"Since then we have performed twice a year at least, not only in Eccleston, but we have been asked to sing at other churches and venues, most notably at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, where we joined other choirs to perform Anno Domini which was written by Mr Raymond Smith, from White Coppice.
"During the time I have been in the choir I lost my husband, very suddenly, and Sue and Mark gave me such support at a very difficult time in my life that I will never forget what they did for me, and indeed the choir helped me to come to terms with my loss.
"We all love Sue and Mark, and their children Rebecca, Christopher and Connor who have performed with us at some stages of their lives when they have been able to do so, and we look forward to many, many more years of Good News."

Missouri CourthousesContact and other information about this county is available on the National Association of Counties website, http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx.
Wayne County is one of Missouri's oldest counties. At one time the county embraced a vast portion of the state. Fire destroyed two Wayne County courthouses, one in 1853 or 1854, the other in 1892, at which time all county records were burned. Therefore, the early history of the courthouses depends on secondary sources.
For several years courts were held in rented facilities. The county is believed to have had six courthouses. The first courthouse, a two-story, log structure, was located on the square in historic Greenville and financed through the sale of lots. This building was used until 1849.
The second courthouse, a brick structure built in 1849, was used for about five years before it burned in 1853 or 1854.
For the next courthouse, built in 1856, the county appropriated $2,500. This two-story, brick building was damaged by fire Dec. 14, 1892. The extent of architectural damage is uncertain, but a fire insurance policy paid the county $4,300 (Figure 1).
Figure 1Wayne County Courthouse, Old Greenville, photo undated. It is either the 1856-1892 courthouse or after the 1893 rebuilding. (From: Wayne County Journal, Jan. 25, 1912)
The fourth courthouse of the 19th century may have been a rebuilding of the 1856 courthouse. The court approved plans for a two-story, brick building with hip roof in 1893. C. Lindeman and Son, Cape Girardeau, contracted for the building at $4,350. Final costs, including vaults and interior finishing, amounted to about $7,000. The building was completed and accepted by the court Dec. 20, 1893. In 1912 the exterior was painted, and benches in the courtroom were replaced with opera chairs. A report in the May 24, 1923, Wayne County Journal described the courthouse and said the main section had been built before the War; an addition to the north had been made more than 30 years before (which would have been the 1893 project). The building was razed in 1924.
Grand juries had recommended for years that a new courthouse should be built; records were kept in offices all over Greenville. In May 1923 the grand jury called this a shameful arrangement, before they condemned the courthouse and ordered all officials to vacate.
A November 1923 election authorized a bond issue of $50,000 for a red brick and white algonite stone building designed by Martin Laubis, Poplar Bluff, which had been simplified from an earlier, more elaborate design to keep within the $50,000 limit (Figures 2 and 3). The structure was to be as substantial and convenient as originally planned, but not as ornamented. The size was reduced by narrowing hallways; the Circuit Court room was on the north part of the third floor and not much larger than the previous one. Cornerstone ceremonies were held May 21, 1925. Completed in December 1926, this courthouse was in use less than 20 years when the government condemned it and compensated Wayne County about $70,000; Wappapello Lake, formed by a government dam project, would soon inundate old, historic Greenville.

Twice petitions asked for removal of the county seat from Greenville to Paterson; twice they were defeated. Piedmont was another contender, but Greenville remained the preferred site. F. W. Carlton, a former banker, was given the responsibility of selecting a site on higher ground and procuring courthouse plans. Eugene S. Johnson and Albert Maack, members of a St. Louis firm who had provided preliminary sketches, were retained as architects. They completed the plans and supervised construction of the three-story building, which cost about $98,000 and was funded in part by W. P. A. Construction began in March 1941 and was completed in September 1943 (Figure 4).

I was enthralled by the testimony offered in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the federal trial challenging the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8. And even though I had to follow the proceedings on Twitter (since the U.S. Supreme Court blocked any broadcast of the trial), I felt the magnitude of the words spoken by the plaintiffs and their attorneys, Ted Olson and David Boies.
Regardless of the outcome of this case at the district, appellate, or high court level, there's been a ground shift in the way so many Americans think of our civil rights (if only insomuch that they're thinking about them). And the catalysts behind this ground shift are the 40 men and women profiled in this issue, The Advocate's annual Forty Under 40.
Whether it's our cover subject, Chad Griffin, who is the mastermind behind Perry v. Schwarzenegger and the Boies-Olson collaboration, or Selly Thiam, who was motivated by the 2004 murder of a gay activist in Sierra Leone to begin documenting the lives of LGBT Africans, these 40 are just a sampling of the thousands of amazing folks (as many over 40 as under) whose stories come across our desk every year. They're proof that activism knows no age limit and that—41 years after Stonewall—we're as determined as ever to win every inch of our full equality.

Jury Returns Verdict In Favor of
the Defendant in $50,000
(By Associated Press.)
Oklahoma City, Okla., Feh. 18.?Uni
ted State? Senator Thomas P. Gore
today wa? exonerated of charges of
improper conduct by a verdict in his
favor returned in district court here
in the suit for $:>0,000 damages insti
tuted by Mr-.. Minnie E, Bond, of Okla
homa City.
The verdict was returned at 5:40 p.
m., ten minutes after the case was
given to the jury. Only one ballot
was taken.
"We find," the Jury stated in the
verdict, "the evidence submitted by
the plaintitT entirely insufficient upon
which to base a Bult; that said evi
dence wholly exonerates the defen
dant, and had the defendant, at the
conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence,
announced that he desired to intro
duce no evidence and rested his case,
our verdict would have been the same
in that event as now returned by us,
in favor of the defendant."
"Despite the efforts of baiiffs to
maintain order when last words of
the Jury the verdict "in favor of the,
defendant" were read, the crowd,'
which taxed the capacity of the court
room, turned into a cheering throng,
orderly, but no less determined to
give vent to their feelings.
Those displeased by the verdict
forced their way to the doors and
left in ellence amid the bantering of
the senator's friends.
Senator Gore heard the jury's de
cision without change of countenance.
Mrs. Gore was the first to grasp his
hand. When she torhed and shft9kY
hands with Henr^'^.Caril'e^'tef.;i0t^?
foreman, tears were'bn the cheeks crj
both herself and the aged fftrmjsr. *
' "The verdict confirm
triith will triumph
Gore. "I never for a

" From the time the jurors left the
room t? prepare their verdict unt'l
the demonstration was under way,
Mrs. Bond sat !n silence, leaning on
a tabla, and scribbling on a piece of
paper. She seemed In no haste to
leave the room until she wa s ap

Phillip Roffercy
Race: Men
Faction: Magic Kingdom(?)
Class: Caster (Predictamancer)
Proposed Canon
Strengths: Good with animals, Nice hat, Can tie his own tie
Weaknesses: Spoilers, Growing facial hair, Using both hands
First Appearance: LIAB 71
Phillip is apparently part of the conspiracy of Hippiemancers and Predictamancers, as he is assisting Janis and Marie in Parson's run through the Magic Kingdom and blocking the Thinkamancers from hijacking Parson for the War on Charlie.
So far, Phillip has shown up on the scene of an impending conflictErf-b2-p071, stacked up with Parson, Wanda, Jack, Janis, Marie and the other Predictamancers Erf-b2-p081, and mocked the Thinkamancers Erf-b2-p082 and the Carnymancers Erf-b2-p094.
Real World References
Phillip bears a striking resemblance to the Punxsutawney Phil Inner Circle, a select group who take care of the iconic groundhog of the movie Groundhog Day, who is supposed to be able to predict when winter weather will end. Members of the Inner Circle are recognizable by their top hats and tuxedos.

BEATRICE, Neb. – Exmark announced it is making a record donation to the Gage County United Way's 2013 annual campaign. The $66,519.49 donation is a combination of pledges by Exmark employees and a donation by Exmark and the Toro Giving Program.
According to Emily Shockley at the Gage County United Way, Exmark is a strong supporter of the United Way fundraising effort for 2013, as it has been in the past. She credits the strong team of internal supporters – Exmark program coordinators David Rayburn and Rod Benson – for their diligent work on the campaign each year.
Exmark and the Toro Giving Program have donated to the Gage County United Way for a number of years, with record-setting donations made for the 2012 campaign and the current 2013 campaign.
The donation will benefit nine agencies that support the needs of people across Gage County. Agencies served include the American Red Cross, Gage County Christmas Wish List, Pioneer Foster Grandparents, Girl Scouts, Mother-to-Mother Ministry, YRI, YMCA, Salvation Army and Boy Scouts of America.
Exmark began raising funds in August and completed fundraising efforts October 31. Exmark United Way coordinator, Rod Benson said funds were raised through a combination of employee pledges, one-time donations and special events such as meals, a computer surplus sale, a garage sale (featuring Exmark clothing and merchandise), a jeans day badge sale, and assorted raffles.
"Our values define who we are and that includes being engaged in our local community where we work," Benson said. "Through the Gage County United Way, our contributions impact the people who live and work in Gage County.
"The United Way is a great way to assist various organizations and help numerous people in our community. The vast majority of the funds stay right here in Gage County and the Gage County United Way has very low overhead expenses."
To arrange a donation to the Gage County United Way's 2013 annual campaign, contact Shockley at (402)806-3494 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
