The western Indiana home in which renowned Hoosier journalist Ernie Pyle was born, and an adjacent museum dedicated to preserving his legacy as a World War II correspondent, have a new owner.
The Friends of Ernie Pyle has taken possession of the property from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and Indiana State Museum. In its first order of business as new owner, the organization renamed the site the Ernie Pyle World War II Museum.
The state operated the property in the Vermillion County town of Dana as a state historic site for more than three decades. In a cost-cutting measure, the state closed the site in the fall of 2009.
The Friends of Ernie Pyle, a nonprofit organization, has been operating the site under a special arrangement with the state since late summer of 2010 pending the property transfer.
Cynthia Myers, board member of the Friends of Ernie Pyle, said the organization is happy to finally have full control of the property and plans to maintain the property as a museum. It will be open to the public for limited hours from May through Veterans Day in November, she said. The museum will also be available for group tours year round.
Myers said renaming of the site reflects the Friends of Ernie Pyle's intent to broaden the scope of the museum and make it a place where visitors can come to learn more about World War II and the generation of American men and women who fought it.
Pyle was on assignment as a war correspondent when he died on April 18, 1945, after being struck by a Japanese machine gunner's bullet on Ie Shima, a small island near Okinawa in the North Pacific. He was 44 years old.
"Primarily, the museum will always exist to honor and commemorate Dana's native son, Ernie Pyle," Myers said. "But we also want to use this special place to honor all WWII veterans and their place in history. We think Ernie would have wanted it that way."
Myers said the organization is planning a nationwide fundraising campaign to help ensure that the site and its Pyle artifacts and exhibits will remain open and accessible in Dana for years to come. The Friends group also wants to reach out beyond Dana to help educate new generations about Pyle's legacy and the legacy of all WWII veterans.
The Friends of Ernie Pyle has also launched a website for the Ernie Pyle WWII Museum. It is available online at www.erniepyle.org.
More details about the fundraising campaign and the museum's future will be announced in coming weeks.
The Friends of Ernie Pyle Development Fund Inc. is a nonprofit organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Indiana as a 501(c)3. It is governed by a 13-member board of directors.

Huntington Beach, CA (PressExposure) August 14, 2013 -- The singer and songwriter of R 'n' B known as Tammy D has released her new flagship single, titled, "Miss F.A.T." (Fierce and Thick). The track has been released on the Track Addict Music record label. Having an approximate total playing time of three minutes and 30 seconds, perfect for radio and nightclub play, Tammy D's new track has already been making waves around the globe for its heavy hitting beats and catchy rhymes and lines, and most predominantly for Tammy D's angelic singing and fiercely female verve.
"Miss F.A.T." is a track with a great back beat and catchy, well-played keyboard accompaniment, one which is suitable for practically every situation, be it the nightclub dance floor, the morning or evening commute, or simply a casual listen on a neighborhood stroll. It is the most significant release by Tammy D to date, and stands to garner her endless amounts of much-deserved and overdue attention for what is one of the most gorgeous singing voices in the industry today.
Also sometimes referred to as "the Curvy Entertainer," Tammy D is also the leader of what she calls "The Curvy Girl Movement."
"This is for all the beautiful plus-size women across the world," she has said of the Curvy Girl Movement and her new single. "If you love yourself and love your curves, then this song is for you. The next time someone calls you F.A.T., say, 'You're right! I'm Fierce And Thick!'"
Although Tammy D is clearly most talented as a singer of rhythm and blues, her enthusiasm for the voluptuous female body type comes partially from being a proud plus-size model herself, as well as an accomplished actress. In addition to creating the song for her fellow fierce females, Tammy D has also created the song for a late friend.
"I dedicate this song to one of our angels, Mrs. Mia Amber Davis, R.I.P." she writes. "Let's keep her legacy going strong!"
"Miss F.A.T." is available online worldwide.

The single "Miss F.A.T." is distributed globally by MondoTunes (http://www.MondoTunes.com) and is available at iTunes for convenient purchase and download.

Spring marks the season of gardens, blossoms on the trees, and the start of the canning season. At first, it seems there is plenty of time for canning specialty items, like jams and jellies. Soon, the daily harvest becomes too much for one canning session, and some practicality comes into play. If you have the canning bug, now is the time to start becoming organized before that overwhelming time of year gets here. Here is the plan that I use, to organize my pantry and stay ahead of the crops that I want to preserve.
Planning for Canning: Get Organized to Save Your Sanity!
First, plan by making a list of the most commonly used foods in your home – On our farm, we use tomatoes, pickled anything, jams and jellies and sweet corn, more than any other food. My husband likes his hot sauce (eww for the rest of us), so that gets added to the list as well.
Now that there is a list, I can plan my garden! By working off that list of foods, I grow dozens of tomatoes, a dozen cucumber plants, as many hot peppers as I can find, and a few rows of sweet corn. That portion of the garden is just for the preserved foods – I still have to consider the foods we eat fresh all season long. The berries and grapes for jams and jellies will take care of themselves as they ripen. Luckily, these items are found wild in my area, so I don't have to plant them.
Once I have planned and planted my garden, I need to plan for the preserving method – Canning and drying are my favorite ways to keep a large amount of food in a small area. Freezing is also useful, but our freezers are usually holding the meat we raise, so it isn't my main choice. If you have an empty freezer, it is a great way to quickly go from garden to storage. Bear in mind that it is also a good idea to have a variety of preserving methods – this keeps your diet from getting too boring. I always say, "cook few foods many different ways, instead of many foods a few ways."
Canning Basics – Assemble the Tools of Your Trade
Now is the time to assemble the tools you'll need when canning day arrives – The day of canning is not the time to count your jars! Buy what you need during the off season (this is always after the actual time that you need things, so look for next year's items this year). Find jars every chance you can – even at thrift stores and yard sales. Chipped jars will still hold dried foods and keep them organized in the pantry. Purchase lids and bands every time you can, and everywhere you see them on sale. I make a habit of tossing a couple of them into my cart every time I shop. This means I have a box FULL of each, but without them, there is no canning session. You can also find dehydrators at thrift stores all year round – they store easily under a bed or in the garage if need be. You may find that your dehydrator sits on the counter year round, all for you to use at a moment's notice. Buy a case of freezer bags for the pantry, and you will have them anytime. Keep salt and vinegar on hand in the pantry as well.
Organize Your Pantry
Are you prepared to store all that food once you've packaged it? Don't forget to organize the pantry itself – Rotate foods of course, do a monthly check to be certain everything is neat and tidy. Check for leaking, torn or worn packaging in your rows. Make a list of not only what you use, but what you don't use as well. I have found that a pantry of breakfast cereal goes stale before my family uses it. I no longer buy any, even on sale! Make room for the canned goods you will be adding this year. Keep canning jar boxes to place your filled jars into, and label everything immediately! I also use food-safe pails for larger items, like flour, sugar, brown rice, white rice, elbow noodles. These sit on the bottom of the pantry, so it frees up the shelves for the jars I will be adding.
Labeling Food For Future Use
Finally, keep track of what you put into the pantry. I label all my canned foods, even if it seems like a no-brainer. Jelly all starts to look the same, when there are cases of it on the shelf. This is the start of the busy season, if you are trying to build up a supply of food. If you are ready, there will be less chance of becoming overwhelmed. Before you know it, there will be a stash of foods set aside for the days ahead.
This is a guest post by Amy Jeanroy from The Farming Wife. She lives a frugal, earth friendly lifestyle on 130 acres in a forest in Northern Main. Amy grows much of her own food (including livestock), and is passionate about food preservation.

Obamacare called 'The fiasco for the ages'
Read the whole thing.Nancy Pelosi told us there would be days like this. The only way to find out what was in Obamacare was to pass it and see what happens. Congress passed it, the messiah signed it, and we're beginning to see what happens.Barack Obama and the gang that can't shoot straight aren't having much fun, but if they think they aren't having fun now, just wait. The "best" is yet to come.The best the Democrats can say about Obamacare is that it's an approaching train wreck, in the memorable description of Sen. Max Baucus of Montana. Mr. Baucus was one of the authors of the legislation and now he's hurrying home to Montana for good, anxious to avert his eyes from all the hair, teeth and eyeballs soon to be scattered along the railroad right-of-way.Pundits and professors are rifling through the thesaurus, looking for the right word to describe what the Wall Street Journal calls "a fiasco for the ages." The Journal editorialists reminded everyone that they "fought the Affordable Care Act from start to passage, and we'd like to apologize to our readers. It turns out we weren't nearly critical enough."The editors of The New York Times, Mr. Obama's most reliable sycophants, are deep in mourning, but working furiously to apply more rouge to the corpse before it turns the parlor too fragrant for a wake. It's summer, and they're running out of ice.The "downside" to the delay in implementing the employer mandate is that it gives Republican critics the facts and figures, the "ammunition to portray the health care reforms as a failure," The Times says. But not to worry, the year's delay decreed by the president will allow the Internal Revenue Service time to figure out "how this mandate will work … it is more important to do this right than to do it quickly."It's ever so reassuring to know the IRS is on the case.

Skip to comments.Tom Brokaw Received Boos at University of Oklahoma/Nebraska Game
Posted on 11/13/2004 9:16:02 PM PST by PhiKapMom
It was announced during the second half that Tom Brokaw was in attendance at the University of Oklahoma/Nebraska game at Owen Field in Norman. The minute he was announced, you could hear loud boos from around the stadium.
Have no idea how he had the nerve to return to OU after his debacle of a speech for graduation last May. I think he received louder boos then when Nebraska came out, and even more than the penalty we got for fans throwing oranges onto the field near the end of the game.
Chalk this one up to flyover country that detests the mainstream news media. You probably will never hear this from the media except our local radio but it was hilarious. Everyone around where we sit are Bush fans and after they stopped booing, they started laughing at the reaction of everyone. Then they launched into a discussion about how biased the so-called mainstream media was in the election and how people like Brokaw should stay out of the red states. It made me really proud of the Sooner fans -- this truly is Bush Country.
AU has been released from this false accusation. They are not on probation.
It really doesn't matter to me that much.
Wow! It never ceases to amaze me how sports fans really call 'em - Hillary gets booed, etc.

I left my native Lebanon to New York City back in 1987. The war was still raging and the political and economic situations were highly unstable if not volatile. Today, almost 27 years later, the Lebanese struggle with rationed electricity, unstable economic and political situations, living on the brink of another war, receiving a flood of refugees from another neighbor and the only difference from then to now is how much thicker the pockets of our political leaders are getting. Corruption is their religion and money their God. How will the web of greed be ever dismantled?

adapting to a changing world
a future we never bargained for~ Shanghai
During the last few days, Shanghai was submerged in a large cloud of gray pollution that seemed to call over terms like 'apocalypse' and 'end of days' from many of its residents. A look of worry shrouded everyone's face and all conversations centered around the same theme: the toxic smog. It felt so bizarre to walk around in a dark city with masked people and alarmed eyes everywhere you looked. The pollution was literally off the scales (over 500) and no comforting answers anywhere as to when and if it will end. Now, a few days later, it has dropped to 195, still an alarming number in any country, but here in Shanghai, it calls for a celebration. What kind of world are we bringing our children into? What levels of abuse are we subjecting our planet to in the name of progress, money and power?
Derailed humanity~ Tokyo
The human story has its sad chapters; the ones that star as the unfortunate characters; the ones we look away from when we pass them in the streets. This post is for them; a gentle reminder…
harsh realities~ Qibao
In Qibao, and old area of Shanghai, is a neighborhood(if you can call it that) of green lanes. Confronting realities wait there behind each door and in front of some where young women prepare to sell themselves for a living. As much as this practice is as old as civilization itself, it remains heartbreaking to witness people's daughters going through this to survive. And most painful of all was seeing a little girl forced to grow up in that strange world of green lanes.
Love you~
أحبك "I love you"
Reem is 9 years old. She is a Syrian refugee living in a camp in North Lebanon. I learned today that she lost both her parents in the recent conflicts. The only message written on her hand is : I love you
displaced destinies
Today two good friends and I went for an adventure in a remote Shanghai neighborhood where mostly migrant workers from the provinces live and where their children go to special schools. These are the workers responsible for lifting Shanghai from the ground up to soaring levels with its new high rises and luxury hotels that mushroom at an impressive speed around the jewel of China. The residences are extremely modest and the children struggle to learn as best they can under their current circumstances. On this day the teacher said that they would be celebrating children's day (normally on June 2nd in China) and strangely enough they pointed out a few of the girls who they consider 'beautiful' and explained why they were dressed in party clothes and not the usual school uniform. The declaration of their beauty was done openly in front of all the other students, a concept I found incredibly alien and difficult to understand. "She is the most beautiful girl in the class" the teacher announced loudly, " and this is why she will be presented on stage today".
Modernization at any cost
Shanghai, the pride of China, races towards its future, bejeweled with glitzy sky scrapers, glowing with billions of energy consuming lights, employing the largest work force in the world, day and night, 7 days a week and waiting for no one to be ready for this epic change. In neighborhoods like this one, people are given very little notice before their homes get demolished giving room to bigger, more modern and more expensive buildings. The people themselves are moved to housing outside the city to start a new life with little character, with no traditions and with not much choice. Every week that I visit these alleys, I find that more and more of them has disappeared…
The future is not waiting
The thing about the future is that is seems to happen on time and not wait for us to be ready to receive it. And always things appear to be later than we think, don't they?
Today I was with a friend on a photo walk in an old Shanghai neighborhood condemned to demolition and we saw that from week to week homes were being demolished leaving in the rubble, shoes, clothing, old furniture, toys… It would seem that people had very little time to pack up and leave their homes before they were destroyed and we wondered at the levels of stress this must have caused a family that lived there possibly all their lives. Change is often associated with pain, even if it was a change were seeking all along.
Life in the old lanes~ Shanghai
Behind and right next door to the glitz and glamour of Shanghai, real people live their real lives in the old lanes. The first shock you get walking through the very old parts of town is the extreme narrowness of the alleys and the very small size of the overcrowded rooms people call home. It is quite a wake up call that I make sure I take myself through at least once a week so as not to be fooled by the fake reality that expats tend to exist in in a place like Shanghai.

Flipping giant truck tires, pushed heavy metal sleds across a parking lot for no practical reason and doing something called the Fran—as many pull-ups and barbell "thrusters" at one time before someone yells to stop. If you've seen these mystifying feats of strength typical of the CrossFit Games, to be held July 25 to July 27 in Carson, Calif. this year, you've likely wondered what the hell these people were doing and why. And perhaps you've even asked yourself, can I do that, too?
The short answer to both questions is that it's called CrossFit, and yes, anyone can do it, including you, although it takes some time—and certainly successful completion of the following seven steps—before you can flip a 1,000-pound tire, which was a murderous exercise at a recent annual Games competition. Here, past Games champ Jason Khalipa, who placed second last year, and two-time bronze medalist Ben Smith explain the seven steps you need to take to get off your couch and get yourself to the CrossFit Games.
Perhaps biggest step for the CrossFit-curious is overcoming the apparent widespread notion that the fitness approach is too difficult or baffling for the everyday exerciser to undertake. "CrossFit is for everyone. You just have to want to do it," says Smith. And what it actually is, according to CrossFit founder Greg Glassman, is "constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity." In simpler terms, this means cramming a myriad of workouts taken straight from the training books of gymnastics, Olympic lifting, power lifting, running, rowing, and plyometrics into one non-stop session, usually an hour-long, completing each workout for time to guarantee a lung-searing, muscle-burning level of exhaustion by the time you're all said and done. "All CrossFit did was bring a bunch of different fitness programs together that we already know work, like gymnastics and running, and put a stopwatch on it," says Khalipa, who won the 2008 Games.
We're not talking about a box on which to do box jumps (which, by the way, you'll being doing plenty of if you take up this sport), but a CrossFit "box" or affiliate, otherwise known to the layman as a gym. Today, there are more than 7,000 CrossFit gyms in the world; find one near you by visiting the official affiliate locator online at map.crossfit.com. Anyone is welcome to stroll into a box and catch the vibe there, maybe even nose into a class, says Smith, who owns CrossFit Krypton in Chesapeake, Virg. "It's like finding a doctor: Every gym is a little different, and you have to find one that fits you," he says. Many affiliates offer introduction classes or weeklong courses that let you get a feel for the sport while teaching you its basic movements. Sign up for one and learn this acronym: W.O.D., or workout of the day. Most classes start with a warm-up and strength work before taking on the WOD—often a series of grueling strength and cardio exercises combined—with vengeance.
There's a reason this process takes seven steps: Go full-speed ahead from couch-sitter to professional CrossFitter, and you'll likely return to your couch just as quickly. "I think what happens is people jump in too hard—they become diehard about CrossFit and start eating a strict paleo diet [recommended by the program]," says Khalipa, owner of NorCal CrossFit in San Jose, Calif., the base for one of the largest affiliate chains in the world. "If I have someone come in off the street [to a gym], I have them start slow and try to help them realize fitness is a lifelong journey." Adds Smith, "You wouldn't walk onto a golf course the first day and expect to know what you're doing. Everyone has to start somewhere. And if you're starting block is a little further back than others, that's OK—just stay on it."
Get a few classes under your (weight) belt, and it's time to set your eyes on a prize—and almost any prize will do. "Without a goal, you're really just treading water," Smith says. "You gotta have a goal or something you're striving for, something you're living for." While this may sound transcendental when speaking about exercise, both Smith and Khalipa emphasize that a target, whether to lose weight, add muscle, or simply do 20 real pull-ups in a row, helps members stay motivated in the challenging CrossFit environment. "If people don't have a goal, they don't have a reason to be doing what they're doing," Smith says. "That's why some people call CrossFit a cult: because we're so focused on our goals."
Visit the official website for CrossFit, and you'll find a nice, pithy summary of the program entitled "World-Class Fitness in 100 Words" that, ironically, doesn't begin with fitness, but with diet: "Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat." This is the nutritional mantra of CrossFit, and many who get involved choose to adopt a paleo diet, espoused by the program's founders, on which it's encouraged to eat only what our ancient ancestors ate, meaning no dairy, alcohol, or processed carbs. "Without good nutrition, you're not going to change much of your physique. It's hard to outwork a bad diet," Smith says. Going paleo doesn't mean, though, that you need to hunt boar and forage for berries after CrossFit classes. "I tell my clients to work at changing one thing at a time until they've changed their whole diet," Smith says. Khalipa outlines a more specific program: "First, get rid of sugar and soda—they're empty crap and calories. From there, you can start pinpointing little things to change. And if you just start eating real, whole foods, that's a good way to make those changes."
You've heard CrossFit is a cult—and in a way, it absolutely is. According to Merriam-Webster, a cult is "a small group of very devoted supporters or fans." Spend time with anyone who's super into CrossFit, and you'll see the fitness program isn't just a gym membership, but a way of life that affects the work life, social life, eating habits and, oftentimes, overall priorities of its members. "To me, CrossFit is a way of living your life," Khalipa says. "You feel like you're part of a community and that makes you never want to leave." And guess what happens when you never want to leave your gym? You get stronger, faster, leaner, and better. Join the CrossFit cult, and you'll be one crucial step closer to punching your ticket to the Games.
Once you're hooked and training five to seven days a week, you can start considering whether you have the physical and mental fibers to go to the Games. The first step, says Khalipa, is to take a hard look at why you want to compete in "The Fittest on Earth," as CrossFit calls its world championships. "If you want to compete in the Games for the money or fame, you're far off," Khalipa says. "If it's because you want to get more dedicated than you've ever been in your life, that's the reason." If your dedication odometer is ready to rev, the next step is to participate in the Open, a five-week-long, international competition in the spring when anyone is encouraged to complete specific workouts at his or her local gym, judged and scored by fellow members; more than 209,000 people completed the 2104 Open. If you finish top 60 in your region (there are 17 regions in the U.S.), you earn a berth to the Regionals Games. If you place top three at Regionals, congrats: You're going to the Games. And then you'll not only be a world-class CrossFitter, you'll also be able to flip your couch instead of just sitting on it.

Okay, everyone knows that if you want to see a tornado, go to the nearest mobile home park. Right? I mean Beavis and Butthead proved that theory. Next, If one does come through your neighborhood, could you record it 10 minutes at a time? And lastly your buddy Balcom… Make sure he doesn't have the Balcom blades on him when the tornado swings by the neighborhood.
Oh yeah, One other thing… To your buddy's in Long island, There is a slight possibility of a partially built 1/6 scale Model F-105 heading your way.
Have fun Bob! And no loafing around. :^P

My best friend had arrived from Pune for Diwali.I always wait for Diwali and summer-the two parts of an year when I get to meet her.
I share everything of my life ONLY with her.This time she was going to stay for 1 full month due to her training from college.
We had the best times of our lives in this 1 month.November 2008 was the most amazing time of my life.
And the best part,as I've already stated on my b'day[If you've read it],she was here for my birthday after "two" years.
It was very very special for me.She's the most special person of my life.
But time flies sooooooo fast.Finally it was time for her to leave.It was 30th November.
Really missing her a lot and feeling very nostalgic.Looking forward to meeting her in June 2009.
Will cherish this time all my life.....
"Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will...."

text: Review Notes for Joe Dinoffer's "Ball Machine Drills" DVD Price $34.95, including shipping, for the two-DVD set (about 2 hours worth of combined material, including ball machine drills with the bonus backboard drills DVD). Ordered on a Wednesday and received on Friday, two days later (quick response and shipping). OK, I have basically watched these two DVDs one time apiece (each is about an hour long). I took notes as I watched, and what follows is basically nothing more than those notes with some very light editing so it could be posted here. Most of the machines used for these videos are VERY high-end machines costing several thousand dollars. Not your basic Tennis Tutor or Silent Partner or Lobster. And I feel I must repeat that this is more series of notes than a true review. Since I wasn't getting paid to do this and rushed my way through it, I made sure my organization of content and writing style both sucked... The first DVD is Joe Dinoffer's "Ball Machine Drills" DVD, which is a combination of his earlier video "Millennium Tennis" and some new material in called "Ballmachine Breakthrough." The second DVD is focused on backboard/wall practice and drills. I think the "Millennium Tennis" portion of the first DVD is unchanged from its original content, but not having seen that video, I don't know for sure. "Millennium Tennis" is basically a bunch of drills that can be done for individuals or groups of players using high-end ball machines. I get the feeling that the video was developed as part of a sales tool to help sell PlayMate ball machines to tennis instructors. While there are quite a few concepts expressed in this video that could be taken by an individual and used as a basis upon which to develop his/her own drills, the video does not seem to have that purpose as its intent. It is definitely not focused on the individual ball machine owner, but seems more geared toward the professional instructor who might be considering the acquisition of a ball machine to help in putting together group instruction. I think this was a way for PlayMate to sell PlayMate machines to instructors who want to expand their group offerings. Some items on the DVD have nothing to do with ball machines but are there to make a point about good practice "progressions." I don't say that as a bad thing, but a bit of a divergence from the ball machine topic. Covered in the "Millennium Tennis" portion of the DVD are sections on: 1. Blocked, Serial, and Random Practice. Blocked practice is same shot over again, Serial practice is the same sequence over and over again. 2. Grooving Shots 3. Shot Specificity 4. Decision-making Drilling (depends in part on a machine that can do a form of random oscillation/random feed, variable shot ball machine, varied feed frequency, sophisticated programmable options, rather advanced features). 5. Directionals 6. Rhythm Skill Development 7. Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Training 8. Footwork Patterns 9. Perception and Awareness 10. Tactics and Positioning 11. First strike tennis 12. Beyond Endurance and Conditioning All in all, I'd say that "Millennium Tennis" is kind of like a beginning instructor's guide to setting up ball machine drills for students, and some of the philosophies behind different drills. "Ballmachine Breakthrough" is the second portion of the first DVD. This second part of the DVD is better than the first part. Covered in part two of the DVD are: 1. Safety, Benefits of ball machines, 2. Use of ball machines to accelerate the learning process, 3. Guided discovery 4. Teaching tools 5. Flexibility 6. Video replay in conjunction with ball machines 7. Creative drilling. The machines used in "Ballmachine Breakthrough" are the Matchmate Coach ball machine, Ultimate Coach (I think I have that right). This is also a very high end machine. Many of the drills will not be able to be emulated on less expensive machines. (Programming deep and short balls, mixing lobs with groundstrokes, variable speeds within the same sequence, etc.) Drills covered: 1. Forehand drills 2. Ball on the rise 3. Mid-court alley (no-man's land) 4. Close-out volleys 5. Approach and volley 6. Quick doubles 7. Poach and volley 8. Read and direct (calls for an advanced ball machine) 9. Out of the diamond 10. Return of serve (calls for an advanced ball machine) 11. Overhead and volley (calls for an advanced ball machine) 12. Hit deep and close (calls for an advanced ball machine) 13. Retrieve without reprieve (calls for an advanced ball machine). There is also a second bonus DVD included as part of the purchase that focuses on the use of backboards. "Backboards" – Three Sections: 1. Off the Wall 2. Bag of Tricks (semi-sales pitch for "Bag of Tricks" teaching aids with drills) 3. Mini Champ (semi-sales pitch for "Mini Champ" miniature, portable, angled backboard with drills, a couple including ball machine coupled with Mini Champ) Benefits and strategies for using straight and angled backboards as well as dual curved walls are discussed. (Angled and curved backboards are pretty cool. I've never hit on either, but can see their obvious value.) Material covers: 1. Basic groundstrokes 2. Mobility variations 3. Backboards as used for other sports 4. Racquet controls 5. Drills with more than one player Volley Wall Skills represents a good set of drills, but some of which must be practiced with an angled wall or angled/curved wall (and how many people have those available?). Criticisms on Video Production Values: 1. Average production values. 2. Inability to skip around except to the most major sections. 3. Fast forwarding or reversing takes time. 4. It seems more like several VHS sections strung together. 5. There are occasional volume spikes and drops. 6. Many sections are way too short and lack substantial detail. 7. Scripting (writing needs some work) and delivery of lines lacking (Dinoffer's delivery of lines will be too slow and deliberate for some, but that's a bit nitpicky) Many of the drills are possible only with very high-end ball machines costing several thousand dollars. Modifying those techniques to any ball machine is not necessarily going to be possible without drastic modification that would lose the overall purpose of the drill and in some cases drills will be impossible to modify to accommodate a lesser machine (the kind of machine most individuals will own). Overall conclusion? Is this DVD set worth the price? That depends. One of the problems about locating material focusing on ball machine drills is that there's a lack of such material generally available. From that standpoint, this is nice to have or at least nice to watch. Is it worth close to $35? If you've got a ball machine and a bit of extra cash burning a hole in your pocket, perhaps so. Some folks will hate it. Some will get a few valuable items from it, or at least ideas on how to apply the techniques to their own ball machine practice. The inclusion of the second DVD on wall/backboard practice makes a nice little bonus and perhaps pushes the overall value to an "it's worth it" level. But personally, for what you get, I think you're paying a lot. If you can share it with friends who also have ball machines, so much the better. Each ball machine owner might get something different of value from this DVD set. And the backboard drills are interesting, too. Not a bad addition.

Since we started in Genesis last August, kids in Starting Blocks have been hearing the teaching truths, "God had a plan to rescue the world from sin," and "God always keeps His promises." They heard them again this week with the additional truth that, "Jesus will come again." Take a few minutes to let those truths sink into your heart. As I do, it makes me want to shout Revelation 22:20, "Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!"
HIGHLIGHTS from Sunday…
This week your child learned that John, while a prisoner on the Island of Patmos, was visited by Jesus. Jesus instructed John to write down all that he was about to see and hear. Jesus revealed His glory and all about the eternal home He has prepared for those who love and follow Him.
Where's It Found?
Revelation 1, 4, 5, 19, 20, 21
Teaching Truths
- God has a plan to rescue the world from sin.
- God always keeps His promises.
- Jesus will come again.
Memory Verse:
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever."
Psalm 107: 1
Here's a simple song to help your children (and you) memorize this month's memory verse!
3 Fun Family Activities to Remind Us of Heaven
1. Mobile Craft
Help your child make a mobile to remind him that heaven is an incredible place. Grab a couple of sheets of white card stock, help your child fold each paper in half and half again, so you have four squares per paper and cut them apart. Using six of the squares, have your child write one letter to the word "HEAVEN" on one side of each of the squares. Let your child decorate the squares with crayons, stickers and jewels. On the other side of the squares write these phrases H is for Happy E is for Eternal Life A is for Angels V is for Very Beautiful E is for Every Believer N is for No Evil. Once the squares are decorated, punch a hole in the top of each square and tie a ribbon or yarn to it. Then tie the ribbons to a hanger in the order that spells the word HEAVEN.
2. What Is Heaven Like?
Grab an empty shoe box and cover the outside with shiny wrapping paper and let your child decorate it with jewels, crayons and stickers. On the inside of the box have your child decorate it in rainbow colors. Cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the opening of the box, leaving a little on each edge so you can tape it to each side. Cut the card stock in half down the middle and let your child decorate the gates to heaven. Once he has finished, tape the sides of the gates to the box so it will open in the middle. Inside the box, place a dollhouse size chair and figure to represent God sitting on his throne or have your child make a chair and figure out of Legos. Once the box is finished talk with your child about what the Bible says heaven will be like. Here's some questions to talk about it afterwards.
- Who is coming back to take us to our forever home?
- What will our forever home be like?
3. Toddler Tune
Say this chant with your child having him fill in the blank with friends or family members names. Heaven is a wonderful place It's full of love and full of God's grace In heaven, there will be no wrong And I want to take ______ along.
Dear God,
Thank you for paying for my sin so I can be with you in my forever home. You have a special place for me. Help me to serve you well while I wait to go to that home. Amen.

Hello friends,
- Height:
- 5'3" (160cm)
Just a brief update. I'm currently in a relationship at the moment, so I will still be active for friends, but nothing further, till I see where this goes. Thank you for understanding.
Hi folks, I'm a divorced white female, 47, who has had many wonderful experiences with the interracial lifestyle. I admire those who look for ways to improve themselves, mentally, physically, and spiritually, and I've dated many black men who fit that bill.
I seek professional, respectful black men who work hard and play hard. It doesn't matter what you do for a living as long as you do your job with pride and look for ways to improve yourself every day....that's what I do, and I'm drawn to those who follow those goals.
Finally, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so here's to new friends and good times!

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. I know that the O.N.U.'members stay (because of the Western sahara conflict). It s a 4 stars hotel.
The staff was very kind. Great really.
Food at the restaurant is not delicious, only basic (but expensive).
Rooms are OK (but not a 4 stars as announced... a little 3 or 2). You re in the sahara in a 4 star and there s no AC !
Nice views to the lake and the city.
The collective hotel ventilation was very very loud (so i didn t sleep all night).
But the worst of the stay were the crabs (des morpions chers compatriotes français) !!!!!! My friend and I caught that horrible parasite. And we are sure we caught then there.... I don t wish it even to my worst enemy... 2 weeks being treated.
For the price of the hotel, better stay at the camping!

Once it's working, you'll want it to load on bootup for next time. That's kind of specific to each system, but for Debian-based systems you just add the module to /etc/modules, and the corresponding options to /etc/modprobe.d/options.
One more thing I feel is worth mentioning, since I had a heck of a time finding it, is specifying options for multiple cards. Everything's the same, but use commas to separate the options; ie, modprobe saa7134 card=42,42 tuner=17,17 if you had 2 TVFM cards.
Video Cards
Now assuming that all worked, there should be a new video device in /dev. Next install xawtv if you don't have it; it's good for testing and has some very useful utilities packaged along with it. Once that's done, run v4lctl -c /dev/video0 list to see some of the details about the card. That should give something like this:
Now we'll setup webcam. This will grab a video frame from the device at a specified interval and save it to a folder. Webcam is pretty simple too, read the man pages if you need help. here's what I came up with:
Something that wasn't made very clear in the man pages is what the "input" parameter should be set to. If you look in the v4lctl list output, in the "Comments" column, it gives a list of possible values for the input for that *particular* card. We want the composite one obviously, but this is different for each parameter you can load for the card, so use v4lctl list to get the right one. Webcam won't be able to start otherwise. Now go to the image location in a browser and see if you've got a good picture. If not, unload the modules and try a different parameter. Don't forget to do a v4lctl list and modify the webcam config file to match that.

EducationI'm a recent English PhD (2015) Rice University with an M.A. in English from Rutgers University, where I also received my B.A. in English and Economics.
ExperienceAs an experienced writing and literature teacher, copyeditor, and proofreader.
I approach helping students with their papers and writing assignments from three helpful perspectives. For one, I know the expectations of a teacher because I've administered and graded many assignments. Secondly, as a graduate student, I know that writing can be extremely challenging, so I'm sympathetic to problems with writing--from just getting words on a page to thesis writing to finessing word choice. Finally, I've worked as a professional editor and have cultivated an eye for grammar and style. I combine these perspectives and skill sets to help students strengthen their reading and writing abilities and get better grades.
I have 5 years experience tutoring anything writing- and reading-related at Writing Centers, for a contract company, and independently. I've also taught numerous Composition courses (upper level and remedial) at Rutgers University, Lonestar College, and Essex County College. Currently I'm teaching an introductory English literature course at Rice University. I worked as an Assistant Editor in commercial publishing and Editorial Fellow for an academic journal.

Former Florida Rep. Allen West declared President Obama an Islamist who is intentionally working against the security of the United States."The only plausible explanation for many actions taken by President Obama and his administration is that they are working counter to the security of the United States of America," the former Florida congressman and retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel wrote in the post published Wednesday.Among six example he gives to back up his point is Obama's decision to release of five Taliban in exchange for Sgt. Bergdahl in May, providing weapons of support to the Egyptian government led by the Muslim Brotherhood, and negotiating with Hamas.He also writes at length about Obama's recent decision to lift a ban on Libyan's attending U.S. flight schools and studying nuclear science, which had been in place since 1983.
Hoo boy.........Allen's got courage, that's for sure!

- Overcoming depression: When we start saying yes to our self
Overcoming depression: When we start saying yes to our self
Written by listed counsellor/psychotherapist: Jenny Roberts, MBACP Accredited Counsellor, PG Dip, B.Sc. Hons
1st May, 20160 Comments
Current thinking leans to the belief that depression starts off as an adaptive response to protect ourselves from a situation which isn't right for us or is hurting us in some way. From losing someone we love, to circumstances we feel we can't get out of, losing a job or sense of identity, feeling our needs can't be met, or when things that happened in the past continue to affect us deeply.
What happens next is we can get stuck in this response, withdrawing from others to a greater or lesser degree, and selectively noticing negative information whilst tending to ignore the positive. Our biology can also kick in by developing pathways to support this, reinforcing a negative cycle.
What started as a signal that something is hurting, calling us to stop and withdraw energy from whatever isn't right so we may take stock, reconsider what needs to happen next and start something different gets stuck. Our self is denied the possibility of change.
Something very different happens when we recognise what isn't right for us and start saying yes to our self. This isn't always the easiest of steps but it can be the most rewarding.
So what does saying yes look like?
On the one hand it involves re-engaging our capacity to affect change in our lives, understanding how things aren't working, or what may support us more in our life. Counselling can help you to get back in touch with your strengths, skills and resources, increasing your self-confidence so you can create new opportunities in the types of environment that can best support you in who we are.
It means noticing what works and what doesn't, and having the patience and resourcefulness to start all over again when things fall apart. Of course there can be blocks along the way. Saying yes means taking the courage to confront these, one at a time, systematically breaking through the obstacles towards something that sustains you more fully.
It means saying yes to vitality by re-engaging with exercise, movement, and any type of physical activity that feels pleasurable. Counselling can support you in learning how to use breathing to increase your self-support and vitality. It can help you connect with feelings which, left unexpressed, are keeping you stuck.
Saying yes means doing things for pleasure not obligation, more of the time, and finding the key to doing this when it may not seem obvious how.
It means calling back to ourselves all the parts we may have pushed away, to protect them, discarding their relevance or longings that couldn't be be fulfilled, or even skills we may have brushed aside.
It's about really getting how much we count, and how each one of us has a unique contribution to the world, even though we may not always know what that is at first.
Notice what you predominantly say no to, and what you say yes to. Notice what you feel you can't change, and what would make all the difference if you could change it. Each person has their own key to experience life differently, although in the labyrinth of our experience, it isn't always obvious where these keys lie. A counsellor can be very helpful in these moments, supporting you to untangle your situation into a wider range of choices and possibilities.
This is just one of the many reasons we need to connect with others when we can't see alternatives in our situation. It also nourishes our basic human need for connection and relationship, supporting us back to a sense of wholeness and trust in ourselves and our lives.
About the author
I specialise in supporting people through self-esteem and self-confidence issues, as well as anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship difficulties. I feel passionate about assisting others in creating a positive connection with themselves, improving relationships and experiencing more possibility and fulfilment in any life situation.

Paramount must be extremely confident in what it saw with the recently wrapped "Terminator:Genisys" - it has already put two more sequels on the schedule for 2017 and 2018!
To be specific, the sequels are set for May 19, 2017 and June 29, 2018!
That is a lot of faith for a franchise that hit it's high point 23 years ago, in the summer of 1991, when "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" raked in $204 million domestically and $519 million worldwide.
Of course, that film had both director James Cameron and star Arnold Schwarzenegger in their primes.
The next installment, "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines", was hurt by Cameron's absence and franchise fatigue and a TWELVE year gap between films - and it's box-office declined noticeably as a result. It grossed $150 million domestically and $433 million worldwide.
The absence of Schwarzenegger and another SIX tear gap between films caused the franchise to drop again at the box-office, with a disappointing $125 million domestic haul and a worldwide take of $371 million for "Terminator Salvation".
With inflation taken into account, it is even more clear that are fewer fans and interest in the franchise with each subsequent film released since Guns N'Roses ruled.
With "Escape Plan", "The Last Stand" and "Sabotage" all bombing at the box-office since January 2013, it is clear - for now, at least - that Schwarzenegger's star has dimmed considerably. Couple that with another SIX year gap between "Salvation" and when "Genisys" hits in 2015 and it may not be as sure a thing as some think.
But Paramount had to see something it liked to green light to TWO sequels already, right?
I guess we'll all find out a year from now.

I'm creating a Kendo Grid from an existing HTML table. Everything works exactly as I need and expected...with one exception. Text alignment.
My table has a few columns with numeric values and I need these right aligned.
I thought it would be as simple as defining a col like this: <col style="text-align:right;" /> But that doesn't work. Oddly, this works: <col style="width:20px;" />
So, I next tried to format the alignment in the
 section, but I couldn't find a solution there.
Total
I know I could write a template that is applied on a row by row basis, but I don't want to do that. We have a large existing website with lot's of tables and would like to use Kendo UI to replace them...but with minimal dev time.
Any ideas? Cheers

AVS is a source configuration management software that embedds a bug tracking feature. It is based on a common file "check-out / check-in" procedure, which eases early conflict detection. A file can have parallel versions. A proprietary 3-way merge tool is bundled to help merging. AVS uses a development task concept, which allows grouping checked-out files for the same purpose. Users can then work on several tasks at once without confusing files. Each development task is natively linked to a change request, which can be linked to several tasks. The build manager then relies on a change request selection within a set, while still being able to unselect some tasks if needed. A user management feature, with groups and access rights, is provided to restrict access to users upon their profile.

The past few years held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner ever could have anticipated. Yet through the dizzying high of first love to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she could no longer deny was that she was never meant to have a normal life.
Since discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods, Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that follows her...even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving town seemed like the best option, so she's headed back to California - and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that started her on this journey in the first place.
As Clara makes her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he's not the only one.... With the battle against the Black Wings looming, Clara knows she must finally fulfill her destiny. But it won't come without sacrifices and betrayal.
In the riveting finale of the Unearthly series, Clara must choose her fate once and for all.

"Love Triangle from Hell."
I think these books had great potential. There is interesting world building and a few characters I really wanted to hear more from. Unfortunately, when the book was over all I could really remember is the love triangle from hell. Why? Why must there always be a stupid love triangle? It takes over and everything else is colored by it.
Other then the love triangle that wouldn't die these books are middle-grade. Not change your life fantastic but good enough. Plenty of fluff, adventure, and tension to keep you interested.
If you like angel stories its one of the better ones!
"A fun series"
A fun and light series made for teenagers. I am 41 and still enjoyed it. Worth a credit.
"Loved this series but it could have been better"
I wish the epilogue wasn't so short! I wanted to know do they have children! What happens! I sure hope there's another book but I'm not holding my breath! I'm team Christian! I wish there was more romance in this series than therer was.
"Please Learn How to Pronounce Words"
This could have been a better listening experience if the reader pronounced the words correctly! Especially of national forests that EVERYONE knows how to pronounce!!
Explain what happens to everyone!
Great concept, just didn't like the ending.
"Left hanging"
Feel like the story was left unfinished.. no real closure.. for me at least.. Christian got jipped..
"Wonderful conclusion to a great series!"
I fell into the first book and could not get enough. This was a great ending to a great series. Makes me want more.
"Absolutely loved it."
Very fun imaginative read. Loved the character development. Don't leave us hanging, I need to know what happens next.
The reader has clearly never been to the Tetons and I cringed everytime she pronounced it wrong. The story itself was beautiful and very enjoyable. I would have picked a different ending, but hey, it's not my book.
"great great great"
love this book and the two before it. a must read for the family. just great
"so much better"
starting this series was very bland, almost completely dry. moving to book 2 was better, but still not much going on. book 3 was the story to bring them all together and make the series everything it should have been. In the end, it was worth fighting through the first 2 books.
