Toll campaigners lose court challenge
Campaigners against tolls on the Skye Bridge have lost a court bid challenging the legality of collecting crossing charges.
Four protesters argued that the toll collectors' employers, Miller Civil Engineering, had no lawful authority to collect the money for crossing without the written consent of the secretary of state.
However, three judges hearing their appeal in Edinburgh called their action "misconceived" and said that such consent was implied.
The four, who were convicted over non-payment of the charges, which have been the subject of protest since the bridge was opened, had turned to the appeal judges to challenge the basis for collecting the tolls.
They argued that, under the main agreement drawn up for the privately-financed bridge, the written consent of the Scottish Secretary was needed for subcontracting of the bridge firm's rights.
They said that under a subsidiary operations agreement there was no direct written authorisation given to the company to collect the tolls.
Margaret Scott, who represented two campaigners, said that there was a breach of the requirement for written consent and the arrangement was therefore void.
Miss Scott said the public was entitled to be told who was charging the tolls and what authority they had to collect them.
Tolls on the Skye Bridge, she said, were being collected by a third party which had not been publicly identified.
Clear authority
Miss Scott said that in the absence of any clear authority for employees of Miller Civil Engineering to collect tolls, anyone crossing the bridge was entitled to refuse to pay.
However, Lord Sutherland, sitting with Lord Marnoch and Lord Cowie, said the submission by the veteran campaigner known as Robbie the Pict, Alexander Smith, Andrew McMorrine and Andrew Miler, was "misconceived".
The senior judge said that the decision of the Skye Bridge company to subcontract the collection of tolls did not require the secretary of state's consent.
Even if his consent was required the judge said he was satisfied that he had given implied consent as it was plain that he was aware of the operating agreement drawn up for the bridge.
He told the protesters: "I am satisfied that nothing has been put before this court to show any ground for saying that the authority of Miller Civil Engineering to collect the tolls on behalf of Skye Bridge Ltd can be impugned."

Salvation Army to Use Square Technology for Mobile Donations
The Salvation Army is expanding its efforts to support the needy by teaming up with the portable payment technology of Square to develop mobile donation solutions.
Now, passersby can donate not only to the traditional workers with bells and buckets, but they can also swipe their credit cards, or simply enter their card information on a volunteer's phone.
The Army plans to put the technology into use in strategic locations in four big cities: New York, Chicago, Dallas, and San Francisco.
Salvationists would receive Android smartphones donated by Sprint, outfitted with the Square mobile card reader, and contributors can donate directly to the Army's account.
By keeping up with the public's dwindling propensity to carry cash, the Army feels they will be able to increase their charitable outcome substantially.
"A lot of people just don't carry cash anymore," said the Salvation Army spokesperson Maj. George Hood to The New York Times. "We're basically trying to make sure we're keeping up with our donors and embrace the new technologies they're embracing."
Jack Dorsey, the cofounder of both Square and Twitter, explained that adapting to existing norms could encourage more people to give. Smartphones are familiar gadgets to the public now, especially in larger cities like New York and Chicago.
"Instead of training people on an entirely new behavior, an entirely new way to pay, we just use what they know," said the entrepreneur.
This is not the first time the 146-year-old church attempted a foray into different forms of donation, however.
The Salvation Army tried to boost collections with the introduction of credit card terminals in 2009, but that aspect of their effort was a spectacular failure. The organization collected $148 million in physical monies in 2010, but only a meager $60,000 from the terminals just a year before.
"The credit card terminals really haven't been a blockbuster, I'll be candid," Hood said. He also cited the "winter elements" as a serious deterrent to potential donors stopping to enter their information.
Dorsey thinks using the technology already implemented by over 800,000 merchants is a smart move.
"(The Square card reader) doesn't require (donors) to learn anything new and it doesn't require the merchant or organization to learn anything new," Hood added.

Long Beach Township Gets a Bit Greener With School Kids' Rain Barrel
A rain barrel painted by first-graders at Ethel A. Jacobsen Elementary School in Surf City as part of the state's Rain Barrel Challenge now has a home outside the Long Beach Township municipal building. Rain collected in the barrel will be used to water flower boxes at the entrance to town hall.
"By making town hall a little greener we are leading by example and taking small steps that have a big impact on the community, and on the quality of the environment, especially when we all follow suit," said Angela C. Andersen, the township recycling and Clean Communities coordinator.
Vic's Seamless Gutters owner Tom Rubel visited the municipal complex last week to install the barrel, which features the image of a great blue heron. The E.J. school kids painted the native bird strolling through marsh grass for their entry in the 2013 New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection rain barrel design contest, created to educate children within the Barnegat Bay watershed about protecting the bay and its natural resources.
"Harvesting and recycling rainwater is a simple way to reduce water consumption," said Andersen, "and it helps to keep runoff from entering the bay."
The average New Jersey resident uses about 100 gallons of water per day, and more in the summer, Andersen pointed out. By installing just one rain barrel, it is estimated that a homeowner could save about 1,300 gallons of water during the peak summer season.
New Jersey averages about 45 inches of rainfall per year. An 800-square-foot rooftop receives approximately 500 gallons of water in a one-inch rain storm.
"The rain barrel is a great community tool to educate everyone on how to live a little greener, to get connected to the rhythms of our ecosystem," said Andersen. "And if nothing else, the barrel is a pretty nice piece of public art that was created by our own little local artists."
Other recent "green upgrades" in Long Beach Township include energy-efficient improvements to lighting and HVAC in the town hall, police station and Department of Public Works garage – all funded through state grants. Also done was a switch to tankless water coolers in the office complex, and community hydration stations installed outside. Another energy-saving step last year was to replace all the windows in town hall and the police building.
For more about the recycling and Clean Communities programs, contact Andersen at 609-361-6641 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

And the biggest star in the National Hockey League is...
Not Sidney Crosby right now. Hes out until further notice. And who knows when further notice will be.
Not Alexander Ovechkin. Not when you cant put him in the Top 30 scorers.
Not Chris Pronger, whos out for the season, the playoffs, and fill in the blanks.
Which means what for the NHL?
It means Jonathan Toews, Captain Serious of the Blackhawks is probably the best 200-foot player, combining offence, defence, grit and leadership. Hes followed ever so closely by Pavel Datsyuk of the Red Wings.
It also means in this time of crossover stars be it Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Aaron Rodgers, or the ridiculous Tim Tebow hockey has a deep group of young emerging players of consequence, but not one who can or will transcend the sport, not with Crosbys every step now in doubt.
There has always been a face of hockey, but instead right now, there is no real face, just too many injured brains.
With Claude Giroux out of the Philadelphia lineup, another concussion victim, the opportunity for Phil Kessel grows stronger to remain among the scoring leaders, a place he has never been close to before this late in the season ... The remarkable Pronger can be sour at his best, when hes playing 30 minutes a game and dominating. Imagine just how sour he will be not playing the rest of the season ... If I was picking a Leafs MVP after 30 games, its Joffrey Lupul. Hes made Kessel a better player, has had a down-low presence with a surprising power-forward game, leads the club in scoring on the road, and has performed beyond anyones logical expectations ... What Ricky Ray will soon find out: There are no Fred Stamps to throw to here. There arent any Jamel Richardsons or Geroy Simons either on the Argos roster .... With a name like DeMar DeRozan, shouldnt he playing for the Boston Celtics? Cant you just hear those New England announcers, calling him De-Mah ...
Maybe its the holiday season, but whatever it is, Rogers is clearly in a spending mode. First the communications giant came up with all that money to buy in to the Maple Leafs and then they allowed a monster bid by the Blue Jays in the crazy, seemingly non-ending Yu Darvish affair ... Im not Alex Anthopoulos but if I was going to throw all kinds of money at someone in the off-season, Id spend my money on a proven commodity in Prince Fielder rather than be unsure about a Japanese pitcher ... This is how you know NBA training camps are on: Youll hear with sincerity that Andrea Bargnani is blocking out, rebounding with vigour and committing to playing defence ... It may be pre-season but in Tristan Thompsons first NBA camp, the kid from Brampton wound up on the ESPN highlights of the night, with a crazy athletic shot block ... So if youre Kirk Muller, are you wondering if you left the Montreal Canadiens a touch too early? Odds are Muller would have been the Habs head coach after the Jacques Martin firing had he had not left for Nashvilles farm team which turned into the Carolina opportunity. The Habs dont have much but the Hurricanes have less ... My favourite moments from an otherwise dull first episode of HBOs 24/7 heading to the Winter Classic. The science lessons from Ilya Bryzgalov and the awkward humility of Artem Anisimov ... What a waste of time and money the Barry Bonds trial turned out to be.
The case for figure skater Patrick Chan as Canadian athlete of the year was a strong one, even if youre like me, and werent certain about the choice. He was undefeated in 2011, winning every event he entered, including romping to a Lou Marsh Trophy victory. Like me, you may have seen him fall once, crash into the boards another time, but he still won. My complaint with Chan: The field he competes against is tiny. Maybe there are five people in the world near his ability. The field of play that Joey Votto competes in is 750 players and 18 countries deep. Votto would have been my choice to repeat as Lou Marsh winner, but clearly Im in the minority on this ... Dominant speed skater Christine Nesbitt should run away with the female athlete of the year award ... We interrupt the non-stop Tim Tebow love fest to bring you the following information: Aaron Rodgers is having the quarterback season for the ages. The Green Bay Packers are almost certain to go undefeated and Rodgers will romp to the MVP. Now back to Tebow ... One more Rodgers item: You dont hear much about the great work former CFL quarterback Tom Clements has done with Rodgers. Rodgers is Clements leading advocate ... In light of the Sam Hurd mess, wonder if the Chicago Bears wish they had given more of a shot to receiver Andy Fantuz ... Remember when rushing for 1,000 yards in the NFL meant something? The way I count it, there could be as many as 16 1,000-yard runners in the NFL this season. With four-down football and a 16-game season, that 1,000-yard number needs to change.
Will all NHL players who are not concussed please raise their hands? ... So where was commissioner David Stern when the Raptors traded Vince Carter away for nothing? Why didnt he disallow that trade? And where was Stern was Stu Jackson was running the Vancouver Grizzlies into the ground. Oh, never mind, Stern moved the team to Memphis and hired Jackson in his front office ... Doesnt sound like Mike OShea is going to end up as head coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats the job will likely go to Dave Dickenson but Osh has an offer to stay with Argonauts, an offer to go to Montreal with Marc Trestman, who is probably not long for the CFL. The Double Blue didnt think OShea was ready to be a head coach but clearly hes not far away ... It is almost impossible to do what Mark Hominick did last Saturday night. Losing in seven seconds at last weeks UFC 140 card at the Air Canada Centre. Special Delivery Jones lasted longer against King Kong Bundy at Wrestlemania 1 and that was choreographed ... Best of the holiday season to one and all. Will be back in the New Year ... Happy birthday to Joe Barnes (60), Jim Clancy (56), Roy Howell (58), Charles Oakley (48), Jeff Finger (32), Trish Stratus (35) and Brian Orser (50) ... And hey, whatever became of Rick Tocchet?
The Argos are paying a big price for quarterback Ricky Ray, and it isnt just the $400,000 that Rays salary will take up on the teams salary cap this coming CFL season.
You see, in order to make the deal for Ray, they had to include quarterback Steven Jyles, who had recently signed a new deal with the Argos. In that deal, Jyles was given a $75,000 signing bonus (which counted on last seasons salary cap) and therefore is on-the-book salary will come in around $125,000 for the coming season. Its a good thing owner David Braley has deep pockets: He anted up 75 grand for a QB he watched traded away a few days later, which brought the price of acquiring Ray to $475,000, not to mention the second pick in the CFL draft squandered away.
The Argos probably couldnt have made the Ray trade without the bonus paid to Jyles but the deal was, by CFL standards, a pricey one.
The hiring of Dwane Casey as coach of the Raptors seems a year premature, considering the roster he has been given and the organizational thought to play for a high draft pick this season.
In fact, if it was the Raptors notion to bottom out in this shortened season, maybe they should have left Jay Triano coaching the team and quietly and not intentionally (nudge, nudge) play for last place.
If Casey is the defensive wizard of a coach he is purported to be, then its possible that an undermanned Raptors team may win three to five more games than they might have otherwise managed. And if that moves them back a position or three in the draft, how does that benefit the franchise long term?
Caseys push for as many wins as possible could actually set the Raptors back in their building for that inevitable future.
Within a day of firing Bruce Boudreau as coach of the Washington Capitals, GM George McPhee received a call asking for permission to talk to Boudreau about coaching another NHL team.
This, I have a problem with.
If McPhee fired Boudreau as coach, why should permission be necessary for the coach to seek another NHL position. I know the argument: The team is paying the coaching salary therefore should maintain control over the coach. This is where I think coachs need better wording in their contracts. The job is difficult enough that they should be paid for the length of the contract, but once removed from the job they were hired for, should be free to make their own decisions to pursue their futures. Randy Carlyle, for example, has this season and two more left on his Anaheim Ducks contract. The club made that commitment to him: And now if Carlyle or Jacques Martin for that matter, wants to coach again, he requires permission. It strikes me that NHL clubs have it both ways here and the coaches may get paid but they also get minimalized in the process.

On a sweltering summer day at the Lubbock Country Club Par Buster, Tyler DeHay and Josh White outshined the rest of the competition.
Entering the day two shots behind leaders David Bolen and Scott Rundell, DeHay and White shot a 4-under par 68 on Sunday to finish at 15-under overall and won the Par Buster by two strokes over Bolen and Rundell.
After seeing Bolen and Rundell both miss potential birdie opportunities on No. 9 that would have forced a playoff, White was ecstatic about the victory and the plan the tandem set coming into the Par Buster.
"It's amazing. I think this is the best tournament in Lubbock," White said. "I told Tyler going into the weekend 5-under a round and 15-under overall would be our number to put us somewhere close. Knowing who was in the lead today, it was a big deal chasing them down."
Bolen was trying to win his third Lubbock major title in a row, and Rundell had a shot at his sixth Lubbock title since the beginning of last year.
Like Saturday, the championship flight began their round on No. 10. DeHay got the day going with a birdie on No. 11, a 543-yard par-5. On No. 13, White sank a birdie and did so again on No. 15. DeHay and White made the turn at 3 under and were tied with Bolen and Rundell at 14-under overall.
When asked about White's birdie putt on 15, DeHay said it was a putt that gave them momentum for the final nine holes.
"I had 60 yards and hit it just too far over the pin," DeHay said. "Then Josh makes a 25-footer for birdie to keep us going."
The duo made par on holes 1 through 3, followed by a bogey on No. 4, a 456-yard par-4 to drop them to 13-under.
The biggest shots of the entire day for DeHay and White came on No. 6, a 513-yard par-5. After shanking his tee shot far to the left, DeHay hit a dazzling 3-iron that left him 8 feet for eagle.
"My tee shot was far enough left that I still had a good shot and Josh told me I had 225 left," DeHay said. "I told myself, 'This is the shot of the tournament right here.' I hit it on the green and I told him, 'I've been riding your butt all day long. I'm going to make this one.'"
Just like DeHay promised, he proceeded to sink the eagle to move them to 15-under and into a tie for the lead.
Two more pars at Nos. 7 and 8 paired with a bogey by Rundell and Bolen on No. 7 had DeHay and White up by one heading into the final hole. A birdie to put them two ahead would have sealed the tournament, but White left the door open for a potential comeback.
White thought his drive on No. 9 was the best drive he hit the entire weekend. He was left with 142 yards to the hole — and some jitters.
"I've never been so nervous for a 142-yard shot in my life," White said. "Someone told us on No. 8 we were leading by one, but I didn't want to hear any of it."
White's birdie putt slid just to the left of the hole giving Bolen and Rundell a chance to tie. But Bolen saw his birdie putt slide by the hole, and Rundell's chip-in for birdie came up short. They ended up bogeying the hole to finish in second place at 13-under.
Following Bolen and Rundell in the standings were Ross Tyler and Michael Pruitt and Conway Jordan and Ryan Heller, who tied for third place at 12-under.
It was the first major victory for White and the first one for DeHay since winning the LakeRidge Stampede and Men's City Championship in 2008. Prior to the start of the this year's Par Buster, DeHay had never competed in the event.

AFTER the criticism attracted by his recent playboy antics, the Duke of York might be tempted to ditch some of his new chums. Peterborough respectfully suggests, though, that the Prince hangs in there with Jonathon Eliasch, who generously hosted his recent Phuket jaunt.
Eliasch is already one of Britain's richest men; he has made about £400 million since rescuing Head, the sports company, from collapse five years ago. Soon he will become richer still. As grandson and heir to the late Swedish property tycoon G A Svensson, the 38-year-old Eliasch will receive a second fortune on his 50th birthday.

Everyone keeps bitching and moaning about the next ten games but if you look at it, its no where near as bad as our first stretch where we played Miami, Boston and OKC.
@Suns: The Suns SUCK. Nash has no Offensive Weapons. the only problem is they can also work in a fast paced game. I think we will win this one though.
@Lakers This is a big one. The Lakers are sinking. Phil Jackson no longer gives a ****. We can win this game Easy if we
Push the Tempo
Amare locks down gasol
and Kobe has a bad game
@Portland I think this one is 50-50 much like the LA game. I think they have alot of size like LA and thats something we DONT have. I wouldnt be suprised if we lost but also if we won.
@Utah: Well were screwed here. Unless Felton Amare and Will all have big games like last night.
VSKings We got this. They Suck. There 2 lottery picks away from being decent.
VSPhionex: alot of this game really depends on how the first game goes. If we beat Phionex at home, look for them to win here. If we lose look for us to win here
@Houston: Easy Win.
@San Antonio: Loss. The Spurs are gone be PISSED after last night.
@OKC: Loss. We raped them last time we played and there gona be Mad as hell. We might win if Durant or Westbrook is out though.
@Washington: Easy win.
I say we go 6-4 or 5-5. Not to bad for a team that was supposed to be the 8th seed.

In a town that is all about being seen, the latest trend in four-wheel fashion could be called a reflection of the times – literally. Owners of high-end exotic cars are having them wrapped in chrome.
Rappers and athletes have taken to the shiny trend, and even Justin Bieber, has signed on. The pop superstar's chrome-finished Fisker Karma made headlines in July when he was pulled over on the Hollywood Freeway while speeding away from paparazzi.
Holly Melikoff, who works in fashion design, recently gave her car a makeover.
"The big trend was matte black and now the big trend is chroming, so I'm going to stay up with the trends," Melikoff said.
Melikoff loves her Mercedes S65 AMG sedan. But she brought her $200,000 car to Specialty Car Craft in Los Angeles to have it wrapped in vinyl chrome.
"She wanted a little more bling to it," said Specialty owner Steve Saghdejian. "This is the new trend for 2012."
Wrapping cars in vinyl started in Europe five years ago and has finally caught on the U.S. market, he said.
"We went from matte black now to chrome, from the dullest finish to the shiniest," Saghdejian said.
The process costs about $10,000 and also comes in a red or blue chrome finish. Melikoff said the price is worth it, adding that she sees her car as a form of self-expression and a fashion accessory.
"It's like a hand bag or a new pair of shoes," she said. "You have to get a new wrap on your car like you get a new wrap on your nails."
And just like makeup or an expensive sweater, if she gets tired of the look, she can have it peeled off without damaging the original paint job.
But some consider the mirror finish a road hazard that can reflect the sun into the eyes of other drivers.
Saghdejian responds that a chrome wrap is no more dangerous than chrome fuel tankers. However, Specialty Car Craft requires drivers to sign a waiver, protecting the company from lawsuits.
Melikoff plans to drive her dazzling car at night and can't wait to turn heads on the Sunset Strip.
"We'll take it out on Sunset Boulevard and it will be a show stopper," she said. "Everybody will stop and look at it. It will be fun."

Former D.C. United Academy player Collin Martin (Wake Forest University; Chevy Chase, Md.; Olney Boys and Girls Club) has been chosen as one of 24 players to participate in a week-long U.S. U-20 Men's National Team training camp. The camp will take place from Dec. 15 to Dec. 22 in Sunrise, Fla., and will feature two-closed door matches – including a friendly against Venezuela – ahead of the CONCACAF U-20 Championship, which will occur from Feb. 18 to March 3 in Puebla, Mexico.
Martin, one of 19 players in the camp with Academy ties, excelled in his freshman year at Wake Forest University. After graduating high school a year early, Martin appeared in 20 games for the Demon Deacons, tallying one goal and six assists, a team best. On December 7, Martin – along with fellow Academy teammate Jalen Robinson – was selected to one of TopDrawerSoccer.com's All-Freshman teams.
Most recently, Martin was called into the U.S. U-20 camp on April 9 in Portland, Ore., the only high school junior to be selected. In 2011, Martin scored 13 goals for United's U-16s and was subsequently named to the U-15/U-16 Development Academy starting XI.

Review: 'The Wolverine' is a Welcome Return with Edge & Excitement
by Jeremy Kirk
July 26, 2013
After 13 years and 5 movies - some none too good - it's pretty undeniable that Hugh Jackman OWNS the Wolverine role. The people's champion of X-Men needed a powerhouse actor flicking his claws and snarling his…snarl to make his cinematic version as iconic as the comic book character. With The Wolverine, the character's second standalone film, Jackman has never been more fierce, but it's exciting to note that the film is just as fierce. The Wolverine is unlike most blockbusters in terms of scope, but makes up for its grounded dryness with thrills that come when they're needed and an edge the character so richly deserves.
Immediately being better than the character's first stand-alone film, The Wolverine chooses to continue the mutant's age-old story in the present, after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand. After a brief prologue set in 1945 Nagasaki, we jump to the now where Logan, nicknamed The Wolverine for his indestructible, metal claws and perfect facial hair, lives alone in the wilderness. He's haunted by nightmares of the death of Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), the X-Men teammate and Logan's most recent love who fell under darker spells. The Wolverine is content with living out eternity in the woods, hunting and killing food, and generally being so much cooler than Bear Grylls.
He's out of those woods and off to Japan quickly, though. A mysterious woman, Yukio (Rila Fukushima), finds and confronts Logan on orders from her employer,Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), a Japanese soldier whose life was saved in Nagasaki by the Wolverine. Now an old man, he feels in debt to Logan and offers him something the mutant never thought he could get, the chance to grow old and die. Yashida explains he has a way to take Logan's powers from him, so the old soldier can live forever and the Wolverine can finally live out the final years of his long life.
Even at its setup, The Wolverine isn't loaded with action. The story, written by Mark Bomback and Scott Frank, takes its time, builds itself up before any real action kicks in. There are a few moments early on where Logan gets to brandish those claws, but the necessity to use them as lethal weapons doesn't show up until all the pieces have been set for a decent story. It continues to grow, and the twists and turns brush up against convoluted territory. You're never lost, but don't zone out for more than 30 seconds.
When it decides its time for some heavy-hitting action, that story allows these more exciting moments to have both a visual and mental impact on the movie. Director James Mangold - always an under-appreciated favorite - keeps most of the action on the ground, at eye-level. In a Summer movie season where planets are exploding and cities of millions are being demolished, The Wolverine chooses to stay low on scale, and it's a welcome change of course.
The blockbuster moments are in there. Yashida's granddaughter, Mariko (Tao Okamoto) has a way of getting chased by the Yakuza, and the resulting fight on board a speeding train with Logan is pretty damn breathtaking. The Wolverine doesn't get into real summer territory until the final act. It's a predictable resolution to the story. That's the worst you can say about it, because the marriage of genuine drama, interesting and well-crafted - given the CG - final villain, and big budget stunt-work blows you away. The action, if nothing else, in The Wolverine is legit.
And it's impossible not to say the same for Jackman. He embodies the character of Logan, as if he and the character are one and the same person. That's not an easy thing for someone to do even with six films under his belt to grow the Wolverine in his image. In The Wolverine, he doesn't have a myriad of colorful mutants to back him up in every scene, not that they're needed. But Jackman's ferocious yet superb turn in this film proves what most of us had already suspected, that any problems X-Men Origins: Wolverine had can in no way be placed at the actor's feet.
The franchise didn't exactly need new life injected into it. X-Men First Class pretty much took care of the downward spiral the series was taking after X-Men: The Last Stand and the first Wolverine movie. However, The Wolverine, choosing character over spectacle and something of a mystery thriller over massive-budgeted actioner, delivers the most solid Wolverine story we could have possibly hoped for. There's no "if" about it. This film and the five that precede it are a clear indication of just how well Jackman fits as the iconic character. But, if The Wolverine is any indication of the level of subdued storytelling and quality execution the X-Men series is ready to take, let the next six films do their worst. At the very least, we'll know Wolverine's claws will continue to keep their edge.

SONOMA — Courtney Force has suddenly become one of the most recognizable NHRA drivers, and not just because of her racing bloodlines or recent victories on the Funny Car circuit.
The youngest daughter of NHRA legend John Force and the sport's reigning rookie of the year, Courtney Force is bringing new attention to the niche sport of drag racing after she posed nude for ESPN The Magazine's The Body Issue.
The slender but muscular blonde, who is competing at this weekend's NHRA Sonoma Nationals, was among the eight athletes selected to grace regional covers of the annual edition that came out earlier this month.
Though Force would rather be known for what she's accomplished on the drag strip — like the win she posted over her father at the New England Nationals last month — she said she has no regrets about shedding her clothes for the cameras.
"I thought it was a great way to show that it takes a lot of hard work in the gym to handle a 10,000 horsepower racecar and keep up with the men," she said this week.
Feedback about the photos, which were taken near the Mojave Desert and included various racing props, have been positive for the most part, she said.
"I didn't want to look like a pinup model where I'm posing with a car," Force said. "I have a lot of pride in what I do, and I don't want it to be downplayed at all. That's the cool thing about how the pictures turned out. They weren't sexy photos, they were bold and strong.
"You want to be taken seriously as an athlete. I actually had a lot of the drivers come up and say, 'I didn't know you were that muscular under your fire suit.' "
Force had the full support of her family, including her father, who posed for the Body Issue himself a few years ago when he was 62 years old and recovering from a gruesome crash that mangled his body.
"It's my kid, and I'm going to be proud of her as a father," John Force said in a teleconference with reporters earlier this month. "As an owner, it got us great exposure so far. I think it's a positive note for NHRA and all the sponsors, and I'm going to stick by her no matter what anybody says."
In her second season driving a Funny Car, Courtney Force is also making headlines on the track. Besides beating her father in the final in New England, the 25-year-old won the season-opening race at Pomona and is seventh in the Funny Car point standings.
John Force sits fifth in points, with his lone victory of the season coming on Father's Day after he beat his daughter in a qualifying round.
The family rivalry on the track is something Courtney Force cherishes.
"I grew up dreaming about racing my dad," said Courtney, who had the seventh-best qualifying time Friday — 4.057 seconds at 314.46 mph. "I couldn't wait to be out there in a Funny Car competing. I remember the first time I raced him I wasn't nervous at all. I was like. 'I don't care who wins, this is so much fun.' "
Courtney's older sister, Ashley, was the first of John Force's daughters to break into the family business and was the 2007 NHRA rookie of the year. Now a mother of two, she no longer competes.
Brittany Force will also race in Sonoma, though not against her family. The 27-year-old is a rookie in the Top Fuel division.

How many of you use Instagram? I would bet that a good percentage of you do. If you do, you have probably felt the same push as I have: to feel that satisfaction that comes from the orange notification at the bottom of the app, showing that 55 people have liked your photo. I know that you have probably craved the satisfaction of cropping a picture just right, so that all of your unattractive features are blended into the magical land of perfect pixels. And I'm sure that some of you have done what I sometimes do: arrange that latte and that book in a perfect position, angling it just right, and slapping on a caption about how perfect your day was.
Last week, I was laying in bed, binge-watching One Tree Hill on Netflix. I got up to make a cup of coffee, and before I knew it, I was crafting this perfectly staged photo. I set my steaming hot mug down on the section of my white comforter that I didn't spill pen ink on, set a book next to it, and spent about 10 solid minutes trying to get just the right angle--one where the sunlight poured in through the window and put a pretty face on my afternoon. In reality, I spent so much time trying to take the picture that my coffee got cold before I could drink it. I certainly wasn't reading a book, I was on my sixth episode of One Tree Hill. And before I had opened the blinds for lighting, I had been burrowing in my covers all day.
If I had wanted to post an honest Instagram photo, I would have taken a picture of my makeup-free face and included the huge bag of popcorn I was eating. I would have taken a snapshot of my down comforter, which has a giant stain on it from when I didn't realize there was an open pen on my bed. Instead, I took my often not super exciting, sometimes lazy, not always perfectly lit life, and put it in a staged photo. In a lot of ways, we all do this. Instead of embracing the not so Insta-worthy moments, we hide them behind filters. Instead of taking a few moments (hours) to be unapologetically lazy, we try to make it look like we live lives full of constant excitement. And, especially in my case, we spend time comparing our lives to those of fashion bloggers and food photographers, when, in reality, a square photo shows nothing about our actual lives.
I challenge all of you to stop fitting your lives into a perfect square, even if just for a couple of days. There are many days that I am doing good to put a bra on. There are many days where I do not want to wash my hair, much less take it out of a ponytail. There are many days where I watch Netflix until the message pops up on my screen asking if I'm still watching. And that, those kinds of days, are what make up about 80% of my life. I'm all about the pretty lattes and the Farmer's Market visits, but those aren't my life. And so I challenge all of you, including me, to take a step back from lives in a perfect square and instead live the life that you have so graciously been given. I challenge every single one of you to stop comparing yourselves and staging yourselves and just be the beautiful person that you are.
Let's Chat! Can you take Susannah's Inst-challenge and show the world your amazing, authentic, beautyFULL YOU? Tell us what happens here!

Man poses as political candidate
Sat, 12 Jan 2013 04:19:45 GMT —
An Alamo man finds himself behind bars after playing ~catch me if you can, TM posing as an Alamo city commissioner candidate to local businessmen, making off with their political donations.
Lorenzo Gonzalez has owned Ventura Towing in Pharr for seven years.
When a man professing to be Alamo commission place three candidate Riche Chavez came promising to use his business for the city if elected, Gonzalez donated to his campaign.
After Chavez made it to the runoff election in December, the man came back and Gonzalez donated another $500.
But when he came back a third time, Gonzalez became suspicious.
"But this time he told me he needs to have cash, $1,000 cash. And that didn't sound right," Chavez said.
Gonzalez called up a friend in Alamo.
"And he says ~Riche Chavez? What does he look like? Is he missing an arm? TM I say no. He says, ~No Riche Chavez is a old man and lost his arm, TM Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez reported what happened to Pharr Police and when the imposter came for the money on December 31, they arrested Luis Martinez, the brother of Alamo mayor, Diana Martinez.
Unfortunately Sgt. Lupita Valdez says Gonzalez wasn't the only one deceived.
Alamo Police had a pending warrant for the arrest of Martinez for imposing as Mr. Chavez's treasurer last fall.
"As far we can tell he started doing this randomly to business owners. The routine, they give out money to people running in a campaign but no one is verifying anything," Valdez said.
Action 4 did speak with Mr. Chavez who declined to comment saying he will leave it up to the authorities to handle the situation.
Valdez says you can do a lot to prevent becoming a victim to a scam like this one by doing your research.
"Nowadays people have all the information of who is running, who the treasurer is, they have on websites, so verify that info before you hand out money and do not pay in cash," Valdez said.
"There are a lot of good people in politics but there are a few bad apples out there and this guy is a con-artist, Gonzalez said.
There may be other victims too.
If you or someone you know has been scammed report it to your local police.

Ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes, 44, has found an alternative to energy bars and packets of caffeinated gel. Come race day, the so-called "fittest man in the world" fuels up on...muscat melon? With athletes spending an estimated four billion dollars a year on sports nutrition products and recent studies questioning the benefits of vitamins and supplements, opting for all natural seems almost revolutionary.
For Karnazes, bucking the trend in favor of "slow carbs," monounsaturated fats and fruits with a low glycemic index has paid off: "My body fat decreased and my percentage of lean muscle increased without making changes in my workouts," he says. "And I have more consistent energy levels throughout the day."
This whole-foods approach is also the mantra of Suzanne Girard Eberle, a sports dietitian in Portland, Oregon, and author of the highly regarded handbook Endurance Sports Nutrition (Human Kinetics). "Vitamins and minerals don't give us energy," she says. "That comes from carbs, proteins and fats in healthy foods." (See "Menu of the Mighty," below.) Packaged power may goose you during a hard run or ride, but eating au naturel, it seems, can help separate the winners from the also-rans.
Menu of the Mighty
Some dietary standouts can boost both health and performance. Here sports dietician Suzanne Girard Eberle prescribes wholesome power foods for everyday athletes.
Low-Fat Milk: Has protein, calcium, vitamin D and riboflavin. In one study, even low-fat chocolate milk helped athletes recover after a strenuous workout.
Edamame: A source of the highest quality plantbased protein--soy--which may reduce heart disease and cancer risk. It's the red meat alternative for vegetarians.
Peanut Butter: With four grams of protein per tablespoon along with heart-healthy fat, it can reduce diabetes risk and, in moderation, keep weight in check.
Lentils: High in protein (18 grams per cup), iron and complex carbohydrates; also has 16 grams of fiber per cup, which helps maintain digestive balance.
Albacore Tuna: Two ounces provides 15 grams of protein. Opt for troll-caught (available canned) for more healthy fat and less mercury per serving.
Lean Red Meat: A leading source of dietary protein; contains loads of heme iron (the bestabsorbed form of this mineral); and provides muscle-healing zinc.

Camp Chase Rail Trail
Does anyone know if the gap in the Camp Chase Trail just east of Wilson Road has been completed? Also - What is the status of the trail from Lilly Chapel to Columbus? Any information would be appreciated.
From your question, you may already know this but the trail is paved from Lilly Chapel to Georgesville. I was out there in mid April and it looks great. I think I read somewhere that Metroparks had resolved the land issue in the little section east of Wilson Road to Lilly Chapel. When I was out there I did not ride all the way to Lilly Chapel so I don't know if that section is complete or if the work has started. I am excited for the day when the whole Camp Chase project is complete so I can ride out of Columbus all the way to Cincinnati on dedicated bike trail.
I cannot believe no one in the Columbus area has chimed in on this thread in over two years. The last time I was out to check the trail's progress it was paved to Alton Darby road east of the Big Darby metro park. That was probably two weeks ago. By now it may be paved all the way to Galloway. The next phase will be to Sullivant Avenue in west Columbus. I think I read where Columbus will pick up the project from Sullivant and paved the Camp Chase trail all the way to the Hilltop connector bridge over the Scioto River.

Ruger LCR 9mm Release
Recently Ruger has released a new caliber option for the Ruger LCR. Ruger has now introduced to the revolver market the new 9mm LCR. The 9mm has been a popular round for new gun makers in the recent years. Most have been focusing on smaller handguns and slim designs such as the Ruger Lc9. In the recent years manufacturers have been pursuing revolvers with the option of selecting 9mm, 40, and 45 calibers. What could be a better combination then having the LCR in 9mm? Ruger known very well for its LC9 & SR9, 40, and 45 have put together a phenomenal piece for those who choose revolvers over the semi automatic pistols. See the specs of the new Ruger LCR 9mm below:
Model Number: 5456 | Caliber: 9mm Luger

It's had it's time in the sun, and with the merger on the horizon for Yahoo with Microsoft/Bing, ComScore has let some numbers show from the past year. And while the numbers are mildly surprising, they're not shocking at all. Introducing the up and comer, the new kid on the block; Facebook.
Facebook is well on its way to taking Yahoo's spot as the third largest Web property in the world. Last summer Facebook took the No. 4 spot globally, displacing AOL. In December, 2009, Facebook attracted 469 million unique visitors, up an incredible 31 million visitors from the month before.
For perspective, in a single month Facebook gained as many new visitors as Yahoo did all year.
For the year (2009), Facebook grew by nearly 250 million uniques. A repeat will be difficult in 2010, but even at half that pace, and Yahoo remaining stagnant, Facebook could overpass Yahoo within a year to become the third largest site in the world. Passing Microsoft (No. 2) or Google (No. 1) in unique visitors will take a little longer.
By other measures, Facebook is already larger than both Yahoo and Microsoft. Its pageviews grew 141 percent last year, nearly double Yahoo's (down 2 percent) and Microsoft's (up 54 percent). Google is still the largest pageview generator on the web. With Facebook growing monthly by such leaps and bounds, it is only a matter of time before it catches Googles numbers in pageviews though.

Apple owes much of its extraordinary success to an uncanny ability to stay one step ahead of consumers' expectations. Now, some customers have a new demand: ethical iPads.
The hi-tech giant must show it takes the labour conditions of those who toil in its overseas supply chain partners as seriously as it takes the nifty design of new products. Otherwise, the company risks harming its brand.
The company's recent decision to become the first hi-tech company to join the Fair Labour Association is laudable. While critics question the independence of the association, which was founded in 1999 by universities and advocacy groups, there is no doubt it has helped end labour abuse in factories El Salvador, and other countries in Latin America and Asia. Labour inspectors have begun entering mammoth plants as FoxConn city in Chengdu and Shenzhen, China, where iPads and iPhones are assembled. Workers there have long complained of 12-hour shifts, crowded living conditions and excessive overtime. In 2010, there was a rash of suicides.
Last week's protests organized by watchdog groups SumOfUs and Change.org at Apple stores around the world regarding the health, safety and environmental conditions inside these factories brought the issue to the fore. The groups also delivered petitions signed by more than 250,000 people. One former Apple executive told the New York Times: "Most people would be really disturbed if they saw where their iPhone comes from."
Apple already has a supplier code of conduct with detailed standards on labour issues and safety protections, and also publishes its own annual audits of suppliers. Last month for the first time, it made public its list of suppliers.
However, the company must take more responsibility for enforcing its own manufacturing standards. Changing the workplace culture at overseas suppliers without sacrificing quotas and profits will be a challenge. But it is also an opportunity. Through its own example, Apple could inspire industry-wide change. Public outcry and advocacy campaigns forced Gap, Nike and other apparel companies to end workplace abuse, including the firing of pregnant women, in Latin America in the 1990s.
Apple doesn't want to be associated with foreign workers who are so despondent they would rather jump out their dorm window than assemble another iPhone 5. Instead, it has a chance to be a transformational leader and inspire other blue-chip hi-tech companies to take labour violations in China and elsewhere more seriously.Report Typo/Error

Adam Harrington joins the FT Partners Investment Banking team as a Vice President.

Mr. Harrington earned his MBA from Wake Forest University. "I am delighted to have joined a firm with a remarkable track record of successfully executing transactions for marquee companies in the financial technology industry," said Mr. Harrington. "In an environment where many investment banks are contracting, I am very excited to be part of a growing platform built on delivering unparalleled results for its clients."
"This is an exciting time for FT Partners and we are pleased to bring both Larry and Adam onto our winning team," said Steve McLaughlin, Founder and Managing Partner of FT Partners. "Their combined financial services and technology experience adds significant senior depth to the strong FT Partners bench at a time when we see our business and the markets picking up steam."
McLaughlin added, "With three of our senior team members being long-time, close-knit Goldman Sachs alumni, and other senior members bringing a wealth of experience from firms such as Credit Suisse and Banc of America Securities, the firm is having its best year ever and is in its strongest position to date as we enter our 9th year in business."

The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear. Though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to see Him in His temple. (Psalm 27:1-4)I have nothing but I have everything. So I will rejoice.

First, I'm so grateful that you guys are safe. Second, I'm so glad God has created within you this amazing heart that sees this situation through His eyes in just that special way you do. Praying for and with you – for provision, beauty from ashes and connections made for Him because of this situation. Love you guys!
You and your family are in my prayers. I had no idea about the fire as we live in Tulsa. Thank you for sharing and showing what it looks like to trust God fully.
Your strength has always amazed me. My heart breaks for the what ifs but rejoices in the "5 beating hearts". My prayers are with you. Hugs my sweet friend.
This is a beautiful testimony to your faith and your understanding of many human experiences that would quite frankly, kill the spirit of someone else. Your words are an inspiration to me and I am quite sure to anyone else who reads it. I have not been able to see you or talk to you personally since this tragic event occurred, please know that if you all need anything, please do not hesitate to contact us. We love your family!!
Love you, dear Cindy!! You have a way with words. Praying for you guys!
Cindy, you are truly one amazing lady… You guys have been in our hearts and prayers, and we will continue to left you up.. We both know that God doesn't waste a heart break! You have demonstrated that to us on every level! Everyone here in Griffin, Georgia love you dearly!
This post encompasses everything I know and love about you. I'm so sorry for your loss. I couldn't contain my tears reading what has been lost. I'm amazed and encouraged by your strength at a time we should be encouraging you! I love you deeply and cherish the real, honest and loving friend you are!
Your heart is good CB. Your faith inspires. Love you friend.
Love you. Hugs.
Cindy I do not know you personally but I have read about your loss due to the fire. I truly sorry this tragic situation happened but I have such admiration for the love and grace you show. My heart is heavy right now with a few personal issues but after reading this beautiful message you wrote, it opened my eyes on a much better approach and outlook on life. Although you lost the material things in your home, you were blessed with the safety of your family. Life is certainly more precious. God is good. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt thoughts.
We have been and are praying for you in Georgetown! What remarkable thoughts and words you have shared, and a very inspirational challenge for us day to day. You have been through so much and yet your spirit never breaks. Thank you and God has just got to have something amazing in store for you and your family.
Maybe you already know about her, but I found Edie's blog when she went through the same thing…
There are some beautiful entries that she wrote when their family home burned down…
Praying for y'all
Oh, Cindy…I had no idea. As someone who lost everything on May 20th in the tornado, I GET IT all too well. And I'm so broken hearted for you!!! Oh my word, I'm so sorry.
We go to the South LC campus, and our Life Group literally walked us through starting the very next morning after the tornado. I never dreamed we'd be in the tiny percentage of people on the globe who lose their home to a natural disaster. But here we are. I will pray for you as I know EXACTLY each feeling you are experiencing. For Father's Day, I was making my husband a homemade carrot cake and realized I had no shredder for the carrots in the middle. You will remember something new that you didn't think about nearly every hour. It does hurt, but I know God will carry you guys as He is carrying us. The unexpected blessings you will find through this are unbelievable, as I'm sure you know. I will hold you guys close in prayer. I wish I could come hug you and have coffee with you as two women who completely get what each other is dealing with.
Although I am crying with your for the material things that were lost, I'm praising God for sparing your lives! It means I still get a chance to hear you sing, Smiles and hugs to you! I can't even imagine.
Cindy and Chris,
I can only imagine the loss you are experiencing. I love your perspective of the situation and how you see the many blessings of love and life. Thankful everyone is safe. God is good and as you know well, He will take these ashes and make something beautiful out of it.
Prayers lifted up for the days ahead.
Love to all, Mary and Dave
Thank you for showing us how to walk through unfathomable loss and still see the "gifts".
You are an inspiration to many. Your attitude in a difficult situation inspires many to step back and see what God is doing. I pray you receive a double blessing for your loss. God bless you.
Amazing. Love your God-given perspective. He is amazing and He has blessed you with the rare ability to see beauty in the midst of the ashes…quite literally. We are praying for you and we are blessed by your heart. Lots and lots of love coming from Texas.
Oh sister, I had no idea. I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for encouraging all of our hearts by setting such a great example to us. We will be praying for you.
Have been praying for you, friend. Such a wonderful perspective God has given you – showing His work in you and future work through you. Much love.
I was stunned to see this had happened to you and your family. Your strength, God's presence, His grace and provision over you are evident in the beautiful words you have shared. I'm praying for you now.
Cindy, I can't help but cry while reading this. So sorry for your loss but so very thankful for life. May the Holy Spirit stay close to your side and bring comfort as you walk this path! I can't help but think you must be doing something right since the enemy is fighting so hard against you! May you continue running the race to gain the prize that can never be taken! Thank you for sharing your story it inspires me to stay the course no matter what!
God, please give the Beal family strength, comfort, peace and meet their every need as only you can! Be an ever present help in their time of trouble! You alone are faithful!
Made me cry, CB! Your strength and grace is beautiful, just like you 🙂 I love you!
We are praying for you Beall Family!!
You know, I really didn't want to be in tears again today. I put my big-girl panties on this morning and went to work with a stiff upper lip. Now I see I need to take another lunch break in the St. Jude chapel so I can cry it out after reading this. So poetic, so hopeful, so strong..you are my idol. As usual, sending much much love from me to you!
God loves you guys very much. Your words, straight from your heart, inspire so many. We are so blessed to know you, so thankful you are safe, and so excited about the ministry opportunities that lie ahead! The Holy Spirit has been reminding us that we were created for one purpose: to bring glory to Jesus' name! You do that so beautifully. Father, please bless the Beall family. We love them so much!
Powerful testimony hard to hear the loss of photos and things your children made for you but your words " I see 5 beating hearts." is a miracle and God's hand on your family. We need to cling more to our families because we cannot replace them. This scripture came to my heart
" Come to me, all those who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. For I am gentle and humble in heart. You will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matt 11:28-30
My husband and I keep praying for you, you guys are so humble and when those memories come back and get hard remember God is right with you. God always uses us and He will use this your right to help someone else. I love you sending you hugs. 🙂
Amazing story of God's strength within you! Thank you for sharing… and I am praying for you in Honduras! Many blessings to you and your family… and to those who stood by you. May God bless you as you endure through this!
Beautifully written. Beautiful Truth.
I love you Cindy Beall! You are such an inspiration to so many. Thank you for your example. You ROCK!
That last line… Just so incredibly encouraging! Love that you are able to stand through this with such beautiful strength and faith. Love you friend!
I have been praying for you and yours since I heard on L&LI…I can only imagine the range of feelings that come with this and have been praying specifically that the Lord would be your portion, your strength, your song, and your shield. That no spirit of fear would take root in you or your sweet boys as they lay down on their pillows at night. That you and Chris' relationship would be as strong as an oak, and He would be in the details of making your "new normal" as you begin to rebuild. Much love to you and will continue to pray for you!!
In 1999 our home burnt down. We lost *nearly* everything. A few photos survived, but it was mostly old stuff tucked in the bottom of a closet. Everything from the previous 10 years was gone. Every video of our kids – gone. Souvenirs from a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe – gone. Pet snakes – gone. All of our clothes – gone.
But God showed us just how much "crap" we accumulated and put way too much worth in. We quickly discovered how happy we could be without all that stuff.
I wish every Christian friend I know could go through that. Lose it all. It forces you to really rely on God because you HAVE to, not because the pastor says so.
Honestly –
People feel sad for me that our house burnt down.
I feel sad for them because their house did not burn down.
They will never experience our freedom.
American Christians have much wealth and it makes it hard to live out our lives in real faith.
No words, deep sighs, abundant tears, sure Faith, greater Hope, an Almighty Healer, Sustainer, and CREATOR!!!!
Cindy, there are no words. I'm thankful you and your family are alive and safe, but the loss of all those treasured photographs — I can only imagine. I'll admit that it's one of my greatest fears.
I'm so glad people are surrounding you with love and support at this time, and continue to think of you and pray for you all the way across the pond…
God bless you Cindy and Chris
you never cease to amaze me! My heart hurts for all those things that you can never replace ( Christmas ornaments kids made and baby books etc..)
but I Praise God that the 4 of you are alive and well. Don't forget yall were great at sending updated pictures to your mom and my mom so they will have many pictures of your boys as they grew up. All of you are in my prayers daily as i know even though you have a wonderful outlook on this (as does chris) i know this is a very difficult journey just the same. Love you guys!
ps..luckily i have plenty of pictures of turkey bowl each year and who won so you are ok in that departmen, and luckily the Roselius' won last year so the trophy is still with us! lol
Thank you for sharing this. You have many powerful stories to share about how God has sustained you. And we have much reason to praise because of it. Thank you.
Your momma's Sunday school class is praying for you and your family. I'm looking around at all the stuff in my house that I consider treasures and realizing anew that the only treasure in my house is my sleeping husband. Thank you for your honest thought-provoking words. And may God especially bless each of you during this time of your loss–and renewal.
Cindy, You dont know me but I am Jackies oldest sister. I was horrified when finally made me realize whose house I was watching burn. I am so thankful all of you are safe. I was very impressed with you "new file". It reminded me of the message we had this Sunday about how material things can be taken away in an instant but the spiritual things remain forever. That is something no one can take away from us. When you said standing on you lawn and watching all your posessions going up in flames but your thought were that 5 hearts were still beating spoke volumes about you. We have all been shaken to the core by this tragic event and I'm praying for your family and mine.
Dear Cindy,
I was shocked to see the photo of your home in flames on Instagram. I am, again, inspired by your strength and the way that you turn immediately to the Lord. As you do this, more & more, in the face of devastating circumstances your decision to choose to see the grace of God in ALL THINGS is truly a rich testament to your deep faith. Your response delivers hope to others, to me. Thank you.
Indeed, 5 beating hearts, more precious than any possesions this world will ever offer.
Prayers & virtual hugs to the Beall family
Thank you for sharing your heart. Praying for you and your family!
Cindy, I sit here at midnight with no words….
I FINISHED your book yesterday. I am just shaking my head. I've been married 24years to the man of my dreams. NOW I find myself trying to breathe. God is confusing at times. I have prayed for your situation to be honoring to Him. Thank you for the words and honesty in your book. I hope your family stays strong.
Hello Cindy,
Never met you nor had I ever heard of you until I bought your book from Joel Osteen's church in Houston a couple of weeks ago.
I just finished your book and wanted to contact you only to see you had suffered a great loss. I am so so sorry for your loss.
You know what if you have life and a great family, nothing is as great as those things to me.
I would willingly give up all I own on this earth to have a wonderful family and a loving husband.
I would really appreciate you contacting me when you can.
I do not live in the states but live in Nigeria.
Thank you and God Bless you and all of yours; amen.

Klopp aims to emulate Liverpool legends
Jurgen Klopp hopes to draw on the experience of past Liverpool managers and oversee a sustained period of success at the club.
Klopp, 49, was appointed in October 2015, and led the Reds to eighth in the Premier League, as well as the finals of the League Cup and Europa League.
The German wants to replicate the success of Liverpool "grandfathers" such as Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.
"Sometimes you can use the experience of other people," he told the BBC.
"I don't live in the past but there is a reason why we are here – because of our fathers and grandfathers. These people are like the grandfathers.
"Life is so quick. What keeps you in the race is the experience."
Klopp was speaking to Gary Lineker on The Premier League Show, a weekly magazine programme which airs for the first time on BBC Two at 22:00 BST on Thursday.
Shankly won the First Division three times, the FA Cup twice and the Uefa Cup once while managing Liverpool between 1959 and 1974, while Paisley won three European Cups, six First Division titles, the Uefa Cup and three League Cups from 1976 to 1983.
Klopp 'wants to drive on big bus through Liverpool'
Klopp signed a new contract in July that will keep him at Anfield until 2022. His side started the season with a 4-3 win at Arsenal but lost 2-0 at Burnley on Saturday.
"I would like to celebrate something each season over the next six years," he added. "Not the small thing, really celebrate something – driving on the big bus through Liverpool. That would be nice.
"I've said it before, but it is not important what people think when you come, it is important what they think when you leave. That is when you need to be judged."
Klopp moved to Liverpool after seven years at Borussia Dortmund.
The German club are famous for their 'Yellow Wall', a stand packed with 25,000 fans that creates one of the most intimidating and impressive atmospheres in world football.
However, Klopp says the atmosphere generated during Liverpool's dramatic comeback at Anfield against Dortmund in the Europa League quarter-finals in April eclipsed anything he had experienced before.
He said: "When I was at Mainz there were 20,000 people going nuts, then I went to Dortmund and you would get 80,000 – not too bad – but then the last half-hour against Dortmund was the best I've ever had.
"I felt no-one could stop us."
'People should be excited to watch us'
In The Premier League Show, Klopp also gives an insight into his managerial philosophy.
He explains how he deals with leaving players out of his matchday squads, and also said he could understand why people might think he "is crazy" with his emotional antics on the touchline.
Klopp also said his number one aim as a manager is to excite fans.
"Having memorable games in a row, that is my first target," he said.
"People being unable to wait for the next game, that is what football should be. If you can do this very often then you will be successful."
Klopp keen for winter break
Having experienced the benefits of a winter break in Germany, Klopp is keen to see it introduced in the Premier League.
He highlighted England's performance at Euro 2016 in France as a reason why it would be beneficial for players.
England were knocked out at the last-16 stage by Iceland, and Klopp said: "They played good football but they didn't score enough.
"I know a lot of these players, they have a good attitude and want to work. Dele Alli, what a season, but then maybe it felt like 500 games in his legs – he was not 100%. Harry Kane – what a season, and then he cannot show it at the European Championship.
"You need fresh legs."
Watch The Premier League Show online and on BBC Two at 22:00 BST on Thursday.

LAKE CHARLES, La., Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A man was in custody Saturday in the shotgun slaying of a Louisiana pastor killed while preaching, authorities said.
Woodrow Karey Jr., 53, of Lake Charles alleged walked into the Tabernacle of Praise Worship Center about 8:20 p.m. CDT Friday and shot Pastor Ronald J. Harris Sr. twice before fleeing the church on foot, KATC-TV, and KLC-TV, Lafayette, reported.
Calcasieu Parish sheriff's deputies said Karey called the sheriff's office soon afterward and surrendered without incident, the TV stations said. He was being held in the local corrections center on a second-degree murder charge in lieu of $1 million bail.
Investigators found a shotgun and a .22-caliber pistol in a nearby wooded area.
Deputies said Karey has no known criminal history and it wasn't clear why he would have shot Harris.
