text: As we all know, the Facebook for Android app is amazing. Notifications work like they should, we can actually utilize the "Places" feature, the user interface is spectacular, and it puts the iPhone equivalent to shame. Right. So, until I can actually say that with a straight face, I'm going to need an adequate alternative - this is where you guys come in, what with all your experience and whatnot. Most of the ones I've seen are just links to either the mobile/touch site, or are worse than the stock app (which is really saying something). I've heard of Bloo, but I've also heard the developer stopped, you know, developing it, and instead handed it to the public - and I have no idea how that worked out. So, any suggestions would be great - I'd just like a working Facebook app that doesn't make me want to throw a perfectly innocent puppy through an incinerator. Thank you.


text: Our defense next year worries me as much or more than our offense. Luckily we have a proven coaching staff that gets the most out of the players we have, but what we have isn't going to be very good. The last three weeks, say what you want about TOP, short fields, and the offense not sustaining drives, but our defense has been absolutely shredded. We are a Defensive team. I expect a more out of the D than the O. Who are going to be our play makers on defense next year? We can't give up 42, 71, 58, and 41 in consecutive weeks and expect our offense to match blow for blow.

What We Believe
Essential Truths That We Believe
The Bible is the Word of God
"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right." 2 Timothy 3:16 NLT
God's Word is the only completely reliable and truthful authority and we accept the Bible as our manual for living. Our first question when faced with a decision is, "What does the Bible say?" We practice daily Bible reading and Bible study. The Bible is the basis for all we believe.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplished salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between God and us. He baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit and will return to earth to consummate history.
You must be Born Again
"When anyone becomes a Christian he becomes a new person inside. The old passes away, a new life has begun." 2 Corinthians 5:17 LB
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they denied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God's saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God's grace - not human effort - and must be received personally by repentance and faith. At the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Only believers will enjoy eternal fellowship with God.
Baptism is identifying with Jesus' death. In Colossians 2:11-12, "...putting off the sinful nature...having been buried with Christ in baptism and raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead."Who should be baptized? Every believer who follows Jesus. Jesus commands it – Matthew 28:19-20; Jesus was baptized – Mark 1:9-11; Victory over sin – Romans 6:1-9 How? By immersion (Jesus was immersed in Matthew 3:13-17)
When should a person be baptized? After you have received Christ as Lord and Savior – Acts 18:8
Believers can be Spirit-Filled and Spirit-Led
"...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you..." Acts 1:8
"...be filled with the Holy Spirit" Ephesians 5:18
We believe the only way possible to live the Christian life is by God's power within us. Every believer can be filled with the Holy Spirit by simply asking. We seek to practice a daily dependence on God's Spirit to enable us to do what is right.
Statement Of Faith
About God the Father
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. God The Father sent His son Jesus to be the perfect sacrifice for the sins of man. The Father is the covenant maker and keeper.
Deuteronomy 32:6; Matthew 6:9; Matthew 7:11 John 5:26; Acts 1:7; Romans 1:7; Ephesians 4:6
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will re-turn again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22, 23; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Acts 1:9-11 Romans 1:3, 4; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15 Titus 2:13; Hebrews 4:14, 15
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved and every New Testament spiritual gift is fully operational today. As Christians, we seek to live under the daily control of the Holy Spirit.
John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 5:1
About the Bible
The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.
Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5 2 Timothy 1:13; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21
About Human Beings
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. People are body, soul and spirit. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Isaiah 59:1, 2; Romans 3:23
About Salvation
Salvation is God's free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
John 14:6, 1:12; Romans 5:1; Romans 6:23; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8, 9; Titus 3:5
About Eternal Security
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot "lose" it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security. Every true believer is a "new creation" and will demonstrate the fruit of salvation.
John 10:29; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25, 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3-5
About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
John 3:16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18

Christchurch: Aware that India have not won a Test series in New Zealand for over three decades, captain Sourav Ganguly on Monday said his side was better equipped to reverse the trend, having been far more consistent in alien conditions this year.
We have played well this year and have been quite consistent. We will try our best, said Sourav, soon after his team landed here on a 47-day tour which will include two Tests and seven ODIs against the hosts.
Sourav, who was mindful of the fact that India have not won a Test series here since 1967-68 and had a 4-6 winning Test record in New Zealand, is just one win away from equalling Mohammed Azharuddins feat of 14 as Test captain.
Coach John Wright was equally upbeat on his teams chances though he cautioned that the conditions in New Zealand would be very difficult and demanding.
Teams find it hard to play in New Zealand because the wicket seams a lot. You could get the odd good wicket but with the ball moving about quite a bit, its not easy. Then it can get very cold and windy and wet so it can be a very demanding tour, Wright said.
Wright drew comfort from his batsmens showing in home and alien conditions in the past one year.
We are a strong batting line-up and have proved formidable not only in India but also away from home.
Wrights allegiance
Wright, however, conceded leading the countrys cricketers on a tour of his homeland would be different but said his allegiance lay with India and the huge expectations the population had from its cricketers.
It is his first tour of New Zealand since taking up the India job two years ago. I know there is a lot at stake, he said.
This tour will be no different from others we have undertaken. I enjoy players success no matter where they come from and I have a huge respect for this team and the people at home in India, who as we all know, love their cricket. Im just a simple coach and I expect a lot from these boys.
Notable omissions from the first stage of the tour, with Tests in Wellington beginning on December 12 and Hamilton on December 19, are medium fast bowler Jawagal Srinath and leg spinner Anil Kumble.
Kumble will join the team for the one-dayers, which begin in Auckland on December 26.
The India tour was under threat because of the recent industrial action by New Zealands top players, but Sourav said the dispute did not concern them.
We knew it would get sorted out at some stage, he said. Indians start the tour with a Super Max International at Jade Stadium on Wednesday, followed by a three-day warm-up game against Central Districts before the first Test.
Wright said the teams build-up was good and even though one or two places were up for grabs in the one-day team, the core was pretty much established.
New Zealand chief selector Sir Richard Hadlee has voiced concern over the fitness of his leading pace bowlers.
Hadlee found his bowlers badly underdone heading into the first Test on December 12, none more than young speedster Ian Butler who was ruled out of Northern Districts weekend game with a thigh injury.
Vice-captain Craig McMillan also underwent a scan after injuring his left wrist in the field though it doesnt look all that bad at the moment.
Hadlee and his fellow selectors have the pace trio of Shane Bond, Butler and Daryl Tuffey in mind when the team is named next Monday.
The guys are just so far underdone, Hadlee said.
The bowlers are suffering from stiffness and soreness after the weekend, and were finding it tough to back up the following day.
Normally youd look at around 100 first-class overs to be ready for a Test match but some of them may only have 20-30.
Hadlee confirmed that captain Stephen Fleming would ask the Basin Reserve groundsman to have the first Test played on the new part of the wicket block which has noticeably more pace and bounce than last season.
Hadlee added Bond, who is a bit sore after Canterburys three-day win over Otago, and Butler were hoping to be fit for Northerns next match against Canterbury on Thursday.
The master bowler though was happier with Tuffeys form, having had a pre-season stint in Sydney club cricket where he took 20 wickets at less than 20 runs apiece.
He was likely to be preferred to Chris Martin, who made a quiet start for Canterbury at the weekend.
Martin, though, would probably be next in line if Butler was ruled out, while Central Districts captain Jacob Oram being eyed as a potential third seamer.
Rely on slow bowlers: Rixon
Former New Zealand coach Steve Rixon has some sound advice for the current team: Rely more on medium pacers to unsettle the mighty Indian batting line up during the forthcoming series.
Rixon, who coached the Black Caps during Indias last tour of New Zealand in 1998-99, said the home side should adopt a positive approach and play to the conditions to emerge successful against an awesome batting line-up.
The Black Caps will have to look to their medium-pacers more than in the past, Rixon said here.
The Indians like the ball coming on to them and theyre very wristy players. That hasnt changed, so New Zealand have to play to the pace of the slower wickets. Take the pace off the ball and make them work.
Rixon also rated Tendulkar as the best batsman in the world, saying: Some people say Matthew Hayden is the best batsman in the world but I say Sachin Tendulkar is number one.
Theyve had an awesome line up and opener Virender Sehwag has just added to that, he added.

Role of dairy buffalo in Egypt food security
The results showed that the average farm gate price of both milk and meat from buffalo was less than the average international market, but it was much lesser for milk than meat. Therefore, the development plan should focus upon raising buffalo milk productivity, particularly that milk price projection, as shown in the introduction, would reach 2.5 folds its current level due to speed demand increase and slow production growth. Among the major targets towards raising milk productivity from the Egyptian buffaloes herd are the annual milk yield per milking head and the herd structure, particularly the proportion of milking herd in the stock. Although milk yield per milking buffalo has raised from 940 kilograms in 1990 to about 1402 in 2006, and at a higher annual growth rate of 2.5%, than the world average (2%), it was less than the comparable milk yield level of the world average. The world aggregate average reached only 1537 kilograms per milking buffalo in 2006, i.e. higher than the same year average of Egypt by 8.8%, (Table10), (Figure 1). Although the proportion of the milking buffaloes in the total herd of Egypt was significantly higher than the world average (Table 11) along the last two decades (Figure 2), it has shown a rate of decrease by about -0.6% a year. In addition, the optimum milking heads proportion in total herd structure should be 50%, (Mohammed Sharaf, Ibrahim Soliman & Ahmed Seleem, 1987). Accordingly as the percentage of milking buffaloes in the Egyptian stock reached 42% in the year 2006, such percentage should be raised by 19% above its current level to approach 50%. Therefore, if the development plan oriented the credit policies, veterinary care programs and feeding plan of buffaloes towards reaching the target improvement of buffalo milk productivity, the total milk production of Egypt would be raised by about 29%.

NBA News: Injury Update 2/27/14
NBA Injury Updates 2/27: LeBron, Sullinger and More
February 27, 2014
See the Latest Odds
With the relatively quiet round of games in the NBA tonight, this morning seems like a good time to take a closer look at some of the prevalent injuries out there. We've got our usual share of top-tier names fighting various ailments, so let's take a peek at their prognoses and see what we can figure out about their immediate futures. Here's the latest.
LeBron James, SF, Miami Heat: We can't do an injury report today and leave out James, whose nose has been the hottest topic of NBA conversation over the past week. He's missed one game due to the broken nose he suffered against the Thunder last week, but the good news for Heat fans is that he was a full participant in yesterday's practice and is expected to play tonight against the Knicks.
James will be wearing a protective mask for the next couple of weeks while his nose heals. It'll likely take some getting used to, but we don't think it will affect his production much. He's officially listed as a game-time decision for tonight, but that seems to be just a formality.
Mark D. Smith-USA TODAY Sports
Cavaliers on the Mend: There's good news out there for a pair of injured Cavaliers. Both Anderson Varejao and Dion Waiters have started doing on-court work and appear to be closing in on their respective returns to the floor. Counting last night against Oklahoma City, Varejao has missed eight games with a back injury, and Waiters has been out six with a knee issue.
There's still no concrete timetable in place for either player, but it shouldn't be too much longer. The Cavs' next game is at home against Utah tonight.
Jimmy Butler, SG, Chicago Bulls: Butler looks like he's back to form. He missed out on two games due to a rib injury, but was able to return to the floor in last night's tilt against the Warriors.
Butler played well, too, logging 16 points, two rebounds, two assists, three blocks and a pair of steals in the Bulls' victory. He should be fine from here on out.
Goran Dragic, PG, Phoenix Suns: After being listed as questionable for last night's game against the Jazz, Dragic wasn't able to play thanks to his injured ankle. He's been hurt since Tuesday's game, and the quick turnaround didn't really give him much time to recover sufficiently.
As of right now, there's no reason to believe the injury is serious; It's being described as a "tweak." Dragic has today off to rest up before the Suns' next game tomorrow against the Pelicans.
Jared Sullinger, PF/C, Boston Celtics: Sullinger was unable to take the floor last night, either, thanks to the lingering effects of his concussion. He was diagnosed on Saturday and has now missed three straight games due to his head injury.
Sullinger's status for the Celtics' next game on Saturday is still up in the air, but we're not too optimistic just yet. He's still got to pass the league's protocols and start his conditioning with some stationary bike work before he can get back out there.

The lawn is very brown from lack of rain ,it also has thatch build up, can I just go ahead and overseed over the existing turf? Or should I dethatch it then overseed? Any thoughts? I will be using a Bluebird overseeder. Also same lawn has a sink hole about 30 x 6 since the lawn is already brown and struggling can I just fill the sink hole with top soil and seed? Anyone know of a good Fescue blend I am in the Ohio Area? Thanks for the help


text: Specifically, rapid prototyping. The sooner you get the new product in the lab for the engineers to poke and prod, the sooner the product will be done. We have discovered that most product design flows don't allow for cost effective prototyping. That's where QED comes in. We can get printed circuit boards manufactured and populated in quantities of five to 10 in your lab without breaking the bank or taxing your development schedule. Why five to 10 units? These quantities are small enough to keep costs low, large enough to still qualify for quantity discount at parts suppliers and board manufacturers, and provide a good pool to get statistical sampling on the product.

Enlarged Prostate (cont.)
Enlarged Prostate Follow-up
Once your doctor has given you a medical plan, you should stick to it and follow up as recommended. Sometimes men need follow-up with a urologist.
Is It Possible to Prevent an Enlarged Prostate?
There is no known way to prevent prostate enlargement. It is a common part of aging.
What Is the Prognosis of an Enlarged Prostate?
Your condition may improve, remain the same, or become worse. Serious urinary problems from prostate enlargement affect one in 10 older men. If the bladder is permanently damaged from prostate enlargement, treatment may not be as effective.
Prostate enlargement is not cancer, nor does it seem to increase your chances of developing prostate cancer. You can, however, have both prostate enlargement and prostate cancer at the same time.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The owners of the Sacramento Kings will attend the sold-out game versus the Los Angeles Clippers at Arco Arena on Monday, which has become the rallying point for loyal Kings' fans who want the team to remain at the state capital.
In a series of Tweets, Kings' co-owner Joe Maloof said, "Gavin, George, & myself will absolutely be at the game Monday night… Those 17,317 that will be there Monday night are our friends. We will always appreciate the fans and the customer."
Speculation over the future of the Kings has run wild after the Maloofs confirmed earlier this month they were in talks with the city of Anaheim to move the team down to the Honda Center, currently the home to the Anaheim Ducks.
The Kings' owners are waiting for a decision from the NBA as early as Monday to find out if they will receive an extension to the March 1 deadline to apply for team relocation.
A groundswell of fan support, with social networking campaigns like "Here We Stay" and "SacDeflated" gaining quick momentum, focused on Monday's game to demonstrate local love for the team and convince the team's owners to keep the Kings in Sacramento.
Amber Williams, one of the members behind SacDeflated.com, said she believes the fans are why the Maloofs will attend the sold-out game.
"I do think the fans and the people that have shown their support are a part of why they're going to be there, so there is some validation," Williams said. "It's great, we're very excited."
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said last week he wasn't happy that city officials were being kept out of the loop on team negotiations.
"We could have been notified that they were thinking about filing an extension instead of finding out on Google Alert," Johnson said. "That, to me, is not how you deal with partners."

Hi, a couple of things,#1 there is dispute about the shoplifting, he may have paid for the items. That said he was being thugish and rude, a product of his environment, like we all are.
#2 the shooter is more than just a 'white guy', he is a white police officer. that scales it up
we all have to rise above our base feral natures, we sqwawck about them rioting and looting but as an organized white race we bomb and burn the shit out of nations not neighborhoods.a matter of scale

That is no kid. He is an adult committing felonies. He was a leader on his way to college though right? He threw his own life away. He assaulted a store clerk and a cop in the process. He is no kid stealing candy. His partner in crime incited a riot to cover his tracks. The only question is whether the officer was justified and that may never be answered sufficiently. If I was a cop and was being assaulted (whether I knew his motivations or not) I would probably defend myself in a similar matter. Once you reach the point where pulling the trigger is justified you might as well make sure the threat is taken away.
The question is answered very sufficiently; the shooting was justified. The large, violent criminal had attacked the officer (his broken orbital socket is proof of that) and the location and angle of the kill shot is proof that this large violent criminal was lunging at the officer when the shot was fired. There are no unanswered questions here.
#26133 Aug 20, 2014
hi, just learned of the eye socket. Plan A is courts dispense justice, but assaulting a police officer is begging for trouble.
The thug/gangsta lifestyle to me, seems counterproductive, and yes you reap what you sow and mike reaped the whirlwind and so did the cop and so did Ferguson and St. Louis,
whole lot of karma comin down. but disrespectful behaviour is to me unacceptable. mike was rude, I don't know yet but maybe the cop said something to offend Mike and it escalated
Instead of so many factions working at cross purposes and against each other forward progress is difficult.
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. get worse, I live by the words of Tecumseh

Tasha Banks gave birth to her second child on November 5. Tasha's little Zoë was born early at 26 weeks.
Since being born, Zoë's favorite activity has been sleeping.
"Now will you do that when we go home?," Tasha asked Zoe.
On Wednesday Zoë weighed 5 pounds and 13 ounces. But back on November 5, she weighed just 1 pound and 5 ounces, leading to an ongoing stay in Grady Memorial Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
"Over four months I've been here with her," Tasha said. "Every single day. Everyday."
During the beginning of Zoë's stay in the NICU, Tasha would worry about her daughter when going home at night. She also found herself making plenty of phone calls when away from the NICU.
"Calling the nurses, 'Is she okay? How is she doing? What is she doing? Alright, okay, she is okay? She is upset, she is awake, do I need to come up there?'," Tasha recalled.
In late February though Grady became the first hospital in Atlanta to install little cameras called NicView next to the beds in its NICU.
PHOTOS: Grady keeps parents and babies connected
Parents are given a secure log-in for their child's camera and then can watch 24 hours a day from a smartphone or other device with an Internet connection.
"I check it all the time, every hour on the hour," Tasha said. "I can't help it."
Grady NICU director Jacqueline Jackson said NicView cameras have led to her staff answering fewer phone calls when parents leave the NICU for a period of time, giving nurses more time to care for the unit's patients.
But more importantly, the cameras are bringing relief to families.
"They're very curious and anxious about what has changed on their baby. Being able to see their baby on the NicView camera system, it eliminates all of that."
Nurses are even able to share short messages with families through the video streaming program.
"The nurses can let you know Zoë took all of her feeds just well. She is having a great night. Just changed her diaper. The last one was hi to all my friends and family that are checking on me," Tasha said.
She also shared her log-in for NicView with Zoë's grandparents so they can keep an eye on her too, as they don't live in Atlanta.
"For them to be able to see her every single day, all the time is phenomenal. They absolutely love it," Tasha said.
Currently 12 cameras have been installed in Grady's NICU. Staff hope to expand the use of NicView cameras to all 37 beds in the unit.

Last week Lisa Freeman and I had lunch together. For three hours we talked of faith, love, death and hope.
Quite a conversation for two women who, after months of sporadic emails and phone calls, were meeting face-to-face for the first time.
If you know what a Gold Star Mother is, you will understand why I thought of Lisa with sadness on Mother's Day. But my eyes did not flood with tears for her until I read an email from Afghanistan that morning.
The message was from Col. Skip Johnson, the Base Commander for International Security Assistance Force Headquarters in Kabul. ISAF troops are the "good guys" in the Afghanistan war — the U.S. and its NATO allies. Col. Johnson wrote about the increased security at headquarters since bin Laden's death, then switched to thoughts about troops away from home on Mother's Day.
With his permission I have excerpted and clarified the words he wrote.
"I am responsible for a lot of young Airmen and Soldiers here, and it's times like these that they really start to miss home. One in particular said that he has missed more Mother's Days in the last five years than he has been home. So yesterday afternoon during my shift I invited any and all that wanted to come to the tower to take a Mother's Day picture with me, or by themselves, so they could send them home.
"My mom passed away almost 10 years ago," Col. Johnson continued. "A couple of the guys that came up had lost their mothers as well. I told them that I am a person of faith, and if we take a picture together with the card, I think their moms will know."
In their hands the troops hold a hand-lettered sign that reads, "Happy Mother's Day." They stand before a low wall of sand bags atop the tower, burdened with body armor, weapons at the ready. In the far distance rise the Hindu Kush mountains.
His message ended with these words: "A final thought on Mother's Day from a war torn country full of very proud and courageous volunteers away from home with worried moms. There are many mothers that are not celebrating today. Their worry has turned to anguish because their children will not be coming home. Ever. The cost of these efforts is high for families, but to me, the highest is the sacrifice of a mother."
That's what a Gold Star Mother is, a woman whose son or daughter has fallen in combat.
Lisa's son, Marine Capt. Matthew Freeman, was killed in Afghanistan in August of 2009.
Lisa is a tough lady — she voluntarily recounted hearing of her son's death without so much as a quiver in her voice. Friends, family and faith have brought her to this point. But there is one more factor undergirding her remarkable composure.
A few days prior to his death, Matt had asked his mother to gather school supplies for him and his fellow Marines to give to the Afghan children in their combat area. "Mom, these kids would rather have school supplies than food," he told her.
Before Lisa could send even the first box, Matthew was killed.
In his memory, Lisa started The Freeman Project (for more information, go to www.freemanproject.org). Individuals, schools, businesses and clubs all over the country collect school supplies, and with a little help, Lisa manages to get them to Afghanistan and into the hands of our troops. Her first shipment, collected by a high school in Gulfport, Miss., weighed one and a half tons.
Recently, Gen. David Petraeus's staff has stepped up to help distribute the supplies efficiently. "This is mission essential," one of them said in a phone conversation.
Gold Star Mothers display a special license plate on their cars. The words "Gold Star Family" on the tag are difficult to see because they are so small.
But if you happen to see one, say a silent thank you to the woman behind the wheel. She has given a life to our country more precious than her own. The highest sacrifice that war demands.

Lily in the Moonlight
by Mad Scientist Journal • May 8, 2017 • Fiction • 0 Comments
An account by Professor Fia McCauley, as told to Maureen Bowden
Art by Luke Spooner
My namesake, Saint Fiacra, is the patron saint of gardeners, so I was destined to be a botanist. I specialised in lilies, the loveliest of flowers, but their beauty has too brief a life before it suffers, in Shakespeare's words, "The wrackful siege of battering days."
My life's work was to produce a hybrid lily possessing longevity. Obtaining seeds from the most long-lived species, I cross-pollinated again and again. The lilies didn't like it. Virginal by inclination, they prefer to reproduce asexually, by splitting their bulbs, allowing each segment to grow into a new plant. It was necessary, however, for me to subject them to the indignity of seeding, in order to achieve my goal.
I had friends in those early post-war days: former students from university, clinging to bizarre nicknames, hanging on to old relationships, before making their way in the world to find their niches, and leave me to mine. They visited me from time to time.
"What's the plan, Fi?" Jinks said. "Propagating man-eating plants to protect us against the next potential invader?"
"Don't be an ass," Bunty said, helping herself from my dish of assorted nuts and berries. "If Fi was doing that, the government wouldn't let her tell us. Do you want to be hanged as a spy?"
Corky picked up my mandolin. "Give us a burst on your banjo, Fi."
I forced myself to smile as I took it from him. "It's a mandolin, not a banjo."
"What's the difference?"
"A mandolin's more feminine."
I led them into the garden, where they were less intrusive, and I laughed at their lunacies until they left.
In time, the visits grew less frequent, then they stopped. I was happier without the distraction.
The last crop of lilies I'd grown from seed showed promising results. They were past their normal life span and still in full bloom. With each passing week, my optimism grew, but after six months, all but one started to fade. The survivor, with her pure white petals and crimson-tipped stigma, stood solitary and graceful: a perfect lily, surrounded by her wilted sisters.
I planted nothing more in the flowerbed. It was hers alone.
A compulsion to link our lives prompted me to dust her stamens for a sample of pollen. "My apologies, Lily," I said. "You'll not have to endure this again." I poured boiling water onto the sample, allowed it to cool, and drank it.
Forty years later, I still looked no older than twenty-five, and my Lily remained in bloom. She was my closest companion.
The college administrators had long forgotten me, but the current students still visited me for advice and encouragement. Kimberly, Cynthia, and Troy replaced Jinks, Bunty, and Corky.
"What do you think of Mrs Thatcher, Prof?" Kimberly asked.
"I don't understand, politics, Kim," I said. "Flowers are complicated enough for me."
"You like music, don't you, Prof?" Cynthia said. "I'll lend you the new Paul Simon album, Graceland. It's well crucial."
"You're very kind, Cyn, but I don't have anything to play it on. I make my own music."
Troy looked up from his copy of the Radio Times. "Have you seen the new Doctor Who, Prof? Sylvester McCoy. How gruesome is that?"
"Just for you, Troy, I'll set my man-eating plants on him."
They amused me, and I daresay I amused them, but I discouraged them from overstaying their welcome. I preferred to spend my time with Lily.
In the evening, I sat beside her flowerbed, playing my mandolin. I sang songs of my younger days: Bing Crosby's "When the Blue of the Night Meets the Gold of the Day," and "Beautiful Dreamer." I imagined Lily and I were harmonising with Bing and the Andrews Sisters as I sang, "Don't Fence Me In," "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby?" and, most fitting, "Magic is the Moonlight." She was at her loveliest by moonlight. It bathed her in a soft satin sheen. Before the need for sleep called me indoors, I sang "Goodnight Sweetheart," the late-night benediction that long ago, Al Bowley had crooned in London ballrooms while death's shadow stalked the land and the Luftwaffe did their worst overhead.
England in the latter half of the twentieth-century was a good time to be alive, and Lily and I were content. It was relatively peaceful, although, not so in other parts of the world, and nowhere can we long remain in isolation from the rest of humanity.
The twenty-first century brought a colder, more hostile dawn.
"The dogs of war are straining at the leash, my girl," I said. "Shadows are gathering again, but maybe you and I won't see them fall." We were long-lived, but not immortal.
I found a grey hair on my pillow when I awoke, one morning, and in the mirror I saw the signs of age around my eyes. My body's increasing frailty indicated that my decline would be swift, and I was not sorry.
Lily's head drooped a little lower these days, and her stigma's vibrancy was fading to pink. She was still beautiful, but she had mellowed. My instinct told me that it was time for her bulb to split. She would wilt, and her babies would blossom.
I visited the solicitors, Prys-Jones, Tudor-Jones, Parry-Jones and Assoc., to draw up my will.
Mr Tegwin Parry-Jones showed me into his office, "Coffee or tea, is it, Professor?"
"Coffee, please."
"Tidy." He pressed a button on his handset. "Bronwen, two coffees please. Quick as you like, isn't it?" He turned back to me. "She's my daughter. Helping out in the school holidays, see?"
I nodded, realising how much I'd stepped back from the human world, and I felt a momentary regret that I'd never had a daughter to help out in the school holidays. It soon passed. I'd made my choice, and I'd given Lily life. She would have daughters. For me, that was enough.
Mr Parry-Jones and I drank Bronwen's coffee and I gave him his instructions. "I want to leave all my property to the horticultural college," I said, "on condition that they maintain my gardens. I'm naming you as my executor and trustee, and I expect you to make sure that they do."
"What's occurrin' as to your funeral, Professor?" This Welshman didn't mince his words.
"I wish to be cremated and my ashes raked into my empty flower bed. There will already be bulbs in the soil. Nothing else is to be planted."
My bones would nourish the earth where Lily's babies would grow.
At moonrise, I took my mandolin and a garden chair to Lily's flowerbed, and I sat beside her. "You're looking good, Lil," I said.
"So are you, Fi."
I didn't hear her say that, of course. I may be eccentric, but I'm not barking mad, yet the tilt of her head in the night breeze told me that she would have said it if she could. I sang to her, one last time: words I'd set to "Lily Marlene," a wartime favourite.
"Together in the garden, we greet the midnight hour,
age-old companions, a woman and a flower.
Time comes upon us, as it must,
soon we'll crumble into dust:
my Lily in the moonlight,
my Lily and my life."
"The wrackful siege of battering days" (William Shakespeare, Sonnet no.65, Line 6.)
Professor Fia McCauley was born in 1920. She studied at the Northern England University College of Horticulture, making a valuable contribution to the development of farming practices and food production throughout World War II. She obtained a PhD, and when the war ended, she purchased a smallholding from university land and turned her attention to botany. She died in 2016, bequeathing her estate back to the university. The students still tend her flowers.

Why You Should Sell Your Home Now
Reasons You Should Sell Your Home Right Now
In 2006, you saw the housing industry completely crash and burn, which put buying and selling homes at a near standstill. Homes were being foreclosed on, even people with good credit couldn't get loan approvals, and sellers who were getting offers on their properties stood little chance of selling them for their true worth.
As a result, at the time that everything went awry, many people who had their properties up for sale decided to make a hasty exit from such a hostile and unpromising environment. They had hope that better… Continue reading

Can Justice Be Bought? Yes, If a Justice Can Be Bought
Money can't buy you love. At least that's what a famous song tells us. However, citizens of Illinois are claiming that money can buy a seat on the Illinois Supreme Court, and along with that seat comes justice…or injustice. An Illinois Supreme Court Justice may soon be required to answer questions under oath about allegations that he voted to overturn a $1 billion verdict against a powerful corporation that secretly spent millions of dollars to help him get elected. A lawsuit now pending in an Illinois federal court alleges that State Farm, the insurance giant, essentially funded and ran a multimillion-dollar campaign to elect Justice Lloyd A. Karmeier to the state supreme court in 2004. This case is being followed by legal experts who are concerned that judges (trial level and appeals court judges) can be hand-picked by giant corporations or political action committees that have a particular agenda. The information is this column is derived from the allegations set forth in the lawsuit, as well as a recent report issued by the Center for American Progress, authored by Billy Corriher and Brent DeBeaumont. On August 5, 2013, the plaintiffs in the federal lawsuit (Hale v. State Farm) informed the judge hearing the case that their intention is to ask Justice Karmeier to answer questions, at a deposition, regarding the allegations. The plaintiffs contend that State Farm violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, better known as RICO, by using the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Illinois Republican Party, and other entities as conduits to hide its role in funding and operating the justice's campaign. RICO allows plaintiffs to sue persons or businesses involved in a conspiracy to engage in improper activities such as bribery, fraud, or violent crimes. In May 2013, the federal court judge denied State Farm's motion to dismiss the lawsuit and ruled that the plaintiffs can continue with depositions. The trial could disclose details about the extent of State Farm's involvement in Justice Karmeier's 2004 campaign. Hale v. State Farm is a lawsuit that arises out of an insurance scam (by the insurance company, not someone trying to deceive an insurer into paying money). In 1997, more than 4 million policyholders filed a class-action lawsuit in an Illinois state court against State Farm. The 1997 lawsuit—Avery v. State Farm—concerned a clause in State Farm's automobile insurance contract that stated the company would pay for replacement parts of "like kind and quality" to restore a vehicle to its pre-loss condition after an accident. State Farm was accused of breaching this promise by installing inferior replacement parts. A jury in Williamson County, Illinois, agreed with the plaintiffs in Avery v. State Farm and awarded the 4 million policy holders approximately $300.00 each for their losses. Given the large number of policy holders that State Farm had ripped off, the total verdict ($1.18 billion) sounded high, and it received a fair amount of media coverage. Most of the award ($1.05 billion) was affirmed on appeal by the Illinois Court of Appeals. State Farm then appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court. That court heard oral arguments in the case in 2003, but it left the verdict pending for more than two years. (Justice delayed is justice denied). In the meantime, a seat on the Illinois Supreme Court opened up. The two candidates were then-Judge Karmeier, a Republican trial court judge from Washington County, and Judge Gordon Maag, a Court of Appeals judge. The 2004 Illinois Supreme Court race turned out to be the most expensive campaign for a judicial position in the history of the United States. More than $9 million was spent by (or on behalf of) the two candidates. Judge Karmeier's campaign received more than $4.8 million in campaign contributions, and Judge Maag received almost $4.6 million. A 2008 Chicago Tribune article reported that Justice Karmeier won "with the heavy financial assistance of business and insurance interests hoping to obtain a reversal of" the $1 billion-plus verdict against State Farm. On Election Day 2004, Justice Karmeier defeated Judge Maag, and soon thereafter, he joined the Illinois Supreme Court. Following Justice Karmeier's victory, the plaintiffs in the Avery v. State Farm case asked the Illinois Supreme Court to bar his participation in the case's final decision, citing State Farm's financial contributions to Justice Karmeier's campaign. The plaintiffs were aware that State Farm and its employees had made direct contributions amounting to $350,000 to Justice Karmeier's campaign and that more than $1 million had come from groups that included State Farm as a member or to which the insurance company was a financial contributor. The Illinois Supreme Court issued an order stating that Justice Karmeier's recusal decision was one that he alone should make. The state's code of judicial conduct instructs Illinois judges to recuse themselves from any "proceeding in which the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned." The Code does not mention campaign contributions as a source of questions about a judge's impartiality. Justice Karmeier refused to recuse himself from the decision in Avery v. State Farm, and nine months after taking office, he voted to reverse the judgment against the insurer. His was the deciding vote on a portion of the ruling. The plaintiffs in the new case hired retired FBI Special Agent Daniel Reece to investigate the source of Justice Karmeier's campaign funding. The plaintiffs contend that as much as $4 million given to Justice Karmeier's campaign came from State Farm or entities strongly influenced by State Farm executives. According to the plaintiffs, the evidence supports the assertion that State Farm deliberately concealed the extent of its financial support for Justice Karmeier's 2004 campaign by funneling money through a trade association, a political action committee, and a political party—all with the goal of reversing the $1 billion verdict against the company. In 2004 State Farm gave the pro-business lobbying organization, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, $1 million. The chamber then contributed $2.05 million to the Illinois Republican Party. Justice Karmeier's campaign and the Illinois Republican Party received the majority of the chamber's judicial-campaign contributions in 2004 - 73 percent of all contributions given to judicial campaigns on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that year. The Illinois Republican Party gave a series of contributions totaling $1.9 million to Justice Karmeier's campaign. Of particular significance, according to the plaintiffs, on the same day that the Chamber of Commerce gave the state Republican Party $950,000, the party donated $911,282 to Justice Karmeier's campaign. State Farm's $1 million donation to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was public information in 2004. However, the role of State Farm's CEO, Edward B. Rust Jr., in directing chamber funds to Justice Karmeier's campaign has only recently come to light. The plaintiffs have found evidence that Rust was part of the chamber's task force that selected judicial races to target in 2004. As a result, the plaintiffs now contend that the $2.05 million given by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the Illinois Republican Party was specifically designated by Rust for use in the 2004 Illinois Supreme Court race. The plaintiffs say that under Rust's guidance, almost 95 percent of the money given by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the Illinois Republican Party was eventually used in support of Justice Karmeier's election efforts. Investigator Reece also claims that he has uncovered evidence that prior to the 2004 election, and while Avery v. State Farm was pending in the Illinois Supreme Court, the Illinois Civil Justice League, a pro-business, anti-consumer organization, spent $718,965 to help Justice Karmeier's campaign. The head of the organization in 2004 was Ed Murnane. Reece's investigation concluded that Mr. Murnane was chosen by State Farm lawyer and lobbyist William Shepherd to head the Illinois Civil Justice League in 1993. With their additional evidence of State Farm's financial influence on Justice Karmeier's campaign—adding up to more than $4 million, substantially more than the $350,000 that State Farm's attorneys originally acknowledged—the plaintiffs brought the current lawsuit in federal court. The remedy the plaintiffs seek is a new review of the appeal, this time by a supreme court that is impartial. Regardless of whether the plaintiffs prevail, the larger lesson is clear: If the allegations are true, and State Farm truly did secretly funnel $4 million into the winning campaign, ultimately allowing it to avoid paying a billion dollar verdict, the justice system is not quite as just as we may think.

Ratings for Dr. Scott I. Zeitlin
Prostate biopsies are not my favorite sport, but Dr. Zeitlin was very conscientious in performing the procedure and in contacting me afterwards to tell me that the results were negative.
He prescribed a way too hight dose of Cipro and floxed me. Its been two years now and I have eye damage, ear damage, High pitch tinnitus and CNS damage.
My husband and I were both very impressed with Dr. Zeitlin. He took his time examining my husband. He explained all of our treatment options. My husband had low testosterone and low sperm count. He was well worth the money. We now have a beautiful little baby girl. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. ZEITLIN!
My husband and I were very happy with Dr. Zeitlin. He is very respectful, easy to talk to, and excellent at his job.
Dr. Zeitlin was very knowledgeable, and spent an hour with us during our first meeting. We felt great after seeing him. HOWEVER, it has been almost a week, and he has failed to call in my husband's prescription. I do not know whether the problem lies in his staff not communicating with him, or he not being responsive to messages. Waiting a week for an RX is ridiculous.
Dr. Zeitlin is very knowledgeable and seems to really love what he does. The fact that he is also a researcher impressed us as he really is up on the new protocols for various urology issues. He is also supportive of natural remedies. My husband has suffered from recurring prostatitis for years, and Dr. Zeitlin is the first one who helped him, after seeing 3 other urologists...who just took our money and offered no solution. We are very pleased with what Dr. Zeitlin now has my husband on, which he has been taking for several months now, and the difference in how he feels is monumental.
He meant well ,but offered no cure for me.I was there for a clinical trial for prostatitis.No one yet grasps the understanding of this disease, too bad
He fixed my low sperm motility (10~20%) problem. Before him, I saw 7 or 8 urologists for 1.5 years. They either told me to keep trying or they have done their bests. Dr Zeitlin is the most caring and most knowlegable one. He does a lot of research in UCLA besides his private practive. Compared with other urologists I saw, he gave his patients much more time. Two month after the visit and the prescription, my sperm motility went to 80%. Half a year later, my wife was pregnant. The only down side is that he doesn't take insurance (no coverage for HMO and partial coverage for PPO). But hey, if you want a baby, $300 a visit is really nothing. I spent $450 for 2 visits (the second time I have ppo) and this $450 is the money that is best spent ever.

Borscht Belt Studies is Jamie Saft's first record on Tzadik since 2009's stellar Black Shabbis, a death metal meditation on the historical persecution and homelessness of the Jewish people. Obviously, Borscht Belt Studies is stylistically different. Saft returns to more familiar territory here, playing only piano and Fender Rhodes throughout. He is accompanied by Ben Goldberg's clarinet on six of 11 cuts, and by his current group, the New Zion Trio with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Craig Santiago, on one. Saft divides the album into musical sections that alternate by cut. Some compositions are based on blues, jazz, and Yiddish melodies, some in modern composition and vanguard classical music, and the closing track in reggae! The set opens with "Issachar," with Saft on Rhodes playing a soulful jazz melody with Yiddish overtones with Goldberg, and vamping on the changes. This is contrasted with "Hellenville," an acoustic piano piece that delves into improvisation before resolving beautifully on variations of three sequential chords. "Pinkus" is a blues that Saft introduces on the Rhodes. His melodic invention, chord voicings, and harmonic restraint are feints when juxtaposed against his phrasing, colors, and the textural possibilities afforded by the instrument. When Goldberg enters, he extends Saft's lines almost exponentially. The most difficult piece here is "Jews for Joseph (Maneri)," but it is also one of the most satisfying, as a tribute to his advanced improvisation teacher. In duet with Goldberg, Saft explores various threads of microtonal improvisation based on Maneri's ideas, but he reflects back an extended harmonic line by paradoxically reining it in almost pointilistically; he moves that line further, almost imperceptibly, in increments, ending in a very different place than the point of origin. The dynamic exchanges between the duo in improvisation are instinctive. The set closes with "New Zion," the signature tune of Saft's new trio playing reggae jazz in near dub style (listen to Grenadier's rock-solid bassline). It's jazz all right, but it juxtaposes (with beautiful glissandi and ostinati) how close to reggae Yiddish folk song is as a form. It's a mysterious, labyrinthine piece that is a stunner in the end -- it reflects the rest of Borscht Belt Studies beautifully. ~ Thom Jurek

what did you find out with your employee when viewing his routes?
Gotrack sounds like a cellphone plan...it does all this stuff, but first you have to buy the unit and then a data plan!
Can use a little help on installation. I understand needing gnd and +12 then there is white wire to come off inition. I guess this is what they use for
determining time spent at a location. Question is....on chev how far into the steering column will I have to go to get that signal.
Mine is a locator and works real time. I got it running out of the cir outlet
and seem like a miracle. It identified my truck as setting in front of my house just like it was. And it did that in just a few minutes after I turned it on.
No more hiding from the boss.
If you wanted to use mobile the app life360 is excellent
Omega gps 4550. You can set a geophysical fence and if your trucks go out of your designated service area, you get a text. You can also set a max speed and if exceeded you will get a text. Can also track unlimited for 5 years for $79. Unit cost more than others but works great.

Buying GPS in vehicles is a total waste of money... unless your worried about your vehicle getting stolen... which insurance should take care of at that point...I'd worry about GPS in your equipment and then investing thousands of dollars in firearms and ammunition and alibi's!!!
