Clinic Blog: 2012 Thailand 2 Clinic Blog
November 29, 2012
Sawatdee Kaa (Hello) from Thailand!
By cschenk
Hello from our group to everyone at home! We have had 2 very busy, successful and fun days of clinic yesterday and today. Numbers from Day 2 came in at 1,000 patients, 131 referrals and 62 pairs of Chabellas, with Day 3 numbers at 1,200 patients, 111 referrals, and 100 Chabellas. Referrals are patients who will be given free surgical care for complex vision problems such as cataracts. Although we can't provide the final step to better vision for those people, we are able to provide a way for them to receive further help in saving their vision – a huge win for all. Chabellas are brand new glasses made to prescription on-site – these are a fantastic way for us to help patients for whom we don't have a similar match in our stock. A huge shout-out to Dale & team for rocking the Chabellas station!
Many of our team members had special moments that they will never forget. A lady brought in a pair of broken glasses that she had received from a OneSight clinic 5 years ago and Jennifer was able to provide her with a new pair – amazing that OneSight has made a continuing impact in her life. Todd had the chance to pull glasses for a 7 year old boy, who being rather large for his age, needed men's frames. He typed in the script and pulled a frame – which just happened to be the exact frame as his personal pair, right on his face! Todd placed them on the young boy and showed him that now, they were twins! I placed a pair of +1 reading glasses on a woman's face, a relatively low prescription, but clearly a huge difference to her, as she hugged me and kissed both of my cheeks.
2 stories from Shannon:
"At the exit there was a lady about 75 years old. She was wearing her new blinged-out Versace sunglasses and working them. Then her husband came out with his Ray-Ban aviators on. They both were beaming from ear-to-ear at each other."
"Simona was trying to find glasses for a young girl with a difficult script. Instead of resorting to Chabellas, Simona put in the extra hard work and searched through the male frames to find a quite unisex pair. The girl put them on and was instantly smiling. She beamed from ear to ear all the way to the exit."

Great to hear the cool stories, guys! Sounds like you're able to help spread some style as well as helping with people's vision! Did the province do any Festival of Lights events with all the cool lanterns?

After seven rounds of the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross series, the 250 West Regional class takes a much needed break allowing for the East Coast riders to finally show what they've got. For Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki, those two riders are Nico Izzi and Blake Wharton. Nico is still on the mend after an ACL tear last fall, but Blake is feeling more confident than ever that this might be his year. Watch on as Nico works his way back to health and Blake makes his final adjustments before heading to Dallas. For more exclusive series like "Top Dead Center", be sure to check out www.motosport.com!

Mythology from around the World
One of the purposes of this site is to bring you mythology from around the world. For this task, we have chosen to bring you creation myths and flood myths as these are often the myths that are at the center of any culture. Because of the value these myths possess in cultures, we feel that it is important for people to read and understand them. One of the reasons this section caters only to creation and flood myths is because hero myths are found very often on the internet and are discussed in much greater detail than cosmogony and destruction myths. Click below to go to one of the sites.*

Holy shit…nice setup
Man… people with sony xplodes that think theyre system is as loud as this truck are just morons…but if they were to listen to it in real life they would need to take a change of underwear cuz they'll shit theyre pants… I live here in fresno and I've heard it and it's just incredible..
reading some of these posts make me laugh.
legal the truck did a 155.3 @ 32hz sealed.
opened up it did a 158.0 @ 30hz
is a beast truck, was a beast truck, and thats all there is to say.O ….and NO, your sony xplodes are not as loud.
thanks, Ray@AI
@xXmuddymanXx bass not base….faggot
@xXmuddymanXx I smell a hater
@stratmemph1 3dbs is twice as loud….haha.
Thats pointless….
how much freaking money did that cost holy s**t
how much freaking money did that cost holy s**t
@xXmuddymanXx its bass not base..
Says the guy who put the mis-spelled word in all caps to advertise how much of a moron he is….Go away, troll.
Man its awesome, screw the haters.
Haters Gonna hate.
Bassheads Unite -
Beautiful! I would love to pop some ecstasy and lay inbetween those.
@xXmuddymanXx its "Bass" not "base" but yeah calm down if you pay for a car u can do what ever u want …
@xXmuddymanXx its not your truck so what the big fucking deal?
@xXmuddymanXx my truck slams pretty hard AND I use it to haul stuff. and in this guys situation, I'm sure he has a trailer hitch. save the hate for something more constructive.
@xXmuddymanXx hes is hauling stuff…PURE SOUND!!!!
just sounds like no bass at all just the seals rattling
i stand corrected… base 10. hahaha! thanks for pointing that out to me, id rather not go around spreading false information lidat
@bbotelhoHI actually +3db is not twice as loud. 3db is the amount it takes for a human to notice there was a change in volume. The correct answer is around 10db to be perceived as twice as loud.
so why didn't you get 4 of them and port it?

A float pushes the inline content in the parent to a side.
An element with position absolute is not in the flow of the text and will not influence it.
So the answer to:
Is that to do the positioning, or for the text wrap?
is "both".

Roland Simmons combines form and function as dynamic lines and shapes are infused with light. The Lumalight shade features an innovative design along with a functional zipper that makes assembly quick and simple. Available in your choice of lighting size, shade style and shade color.
Roland Simmons blends unique design with grounded practicality in the Trovato lighting collection. Designed to enhance any room, the Trovato features a DuraSilk shade, an opalescent material extruded from post-industrial polyethylene resin, making it an environmentally-friendly choice.
Today we will continue our talk about interesting and new lamps that are produced by Artemide. Metal petal A sconce that is called Eurialo looks very simple but provokes mixed associations. It is very similar to the fashionable fastener which has unexpectedly appeared on a wall. The sconce is presented in two colours.
Tonerico is a Tokyo based collective of designers with a focus on austere interior design, but the work that really turns my crank isnt their store designs. Its this lamp produced by Cassina. Its not unlike a work I blogged about several weeks ago by Alison Berger where the light reveals letters or numbers. Alisons piece is pretty personal and narrative, but this piece is more accessible in its price as well as its generic quality.
LIGHTS Up!'s clean design and modern, punchy patterns make these lights a must-have in every home. Choose your favorite style and favorite shade to create the not-too-overdone accent to any room. Available in white or natural linen shades on a brushed nickel base.
Designfenziders hybrid objects combine material wit with aesthetic play; they sit on the fat, delicious line between the abstract and the functional. The collection includes domestic objects that range from a minimal fruit bowl comprised of a sleek supporting plate paired with an architectural fence, to a half-function porcelain top that creates a vase when placed on any container, and a chandelier of desk-lamps.
To set the mood in any outdoor space, these modern fixtures are equipped with a high/low dimmer switch. Made from synthetic, waterproof wicker and outdoor fabric, they are designed with a heavily weighted base for wind stability. 47.25H 15" diameter shade
The Fil De Fer floor lamp by Catellani & Smith is designed and hand made in Italy. Fil De Fer is a remarkable floor / table lamp, because the ball formed out of aluminum wire , shines from the inside. It changes its light strength when you touch the ligh and is thereby a light object with high attraction. Its bizarre appearance reminded the designer Enzo Cattelani "of the light, rolling bushes, blown by the wind in the Mexican desert". The dimmer is attached on cord. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Details: Manufacturer: Catellani & Smith

And then after I googled "Mensa" I was all like, "Great. More work for me."
First of all, just getting "in" to Mensa isn't really the issue because: A)Their own statistics say one out of every 50 people qualifies for Mensa; And 2) we don't have any plans to pursue membership for our (soon to be) six year old. The issue (if you want to call it that) is, how do I ensure my "bright" child gets all the stimulation and enrichment she needs to reach her potential in a public school environment?
The public education system in this country is seriously flawed. I am filled with so much anxiety and dread when I think about her starting in public school, even though the elementary school here gets nothing but rave reviews from all our neighbors. In the two years we have lived here, I have literally never heard anyone say anything bad about the school. But that doesn't change the fact that it's part of a flawed one-size-fits-all system that depends on politics and bureaucracy to survive.
The fact of the matter is, "bright" depends on how you look at it. And all children deserve to be taught in a way in which they can learn. Every child - everyONE - has a way of learning that suits him or her best. But they way the system works, teachers don't necessarily have the freedom and/or resources to teach in a way that reaches every child. So children get labeled as smart or dumb, when neither may be true.
As parents we have the ability to supplement our children's education outside of what they receive in the public setting, but only if we have the time and/or resources. And as someone who spent a lot of my childhood in small towns where the income was less than the US median, that strikes me as unfair.
And frankly, all of this scares the crap out of me.
I can barely keep up with my laundry much less keep up with what my children are doing in school. And I stay at home now - what if I had a job outside the home? What if we were living paycheck to paycheck?
With every year that passes I wonder more and more who exactly decided I was qualified to be a mother. Because I do not feel very confident in the position. And you know what? Come to think of it, I blame this lack of confidence on the extremely bright child with which I've been burdened. Well, hell, let's face it - certainly the younger one will also be a genius.
Why me?! WHY, OH, WHY?
The work of my genius child. |

text: Paul Smith's men's soccer team played above and beyond the call of competition by making an outstanding effort on the Vermont Technical College field, after arriving with only 15 minutes to warm-up prior to the start of the game as the officials refused to allow any additional time. VTC scored with 10:34 left in the first half with a crossing pass across the goal and a shot into the net after a PSC player was forced to the ground. Twenty-four seconds later PSC's Jeff Lanschwager took a free kick from approximately 60 yards out and hit the VTC net over the outstretched arms of the goalie tying the score at one apiece. The scored stayed tied through double overtime with both teams having opportunities, but unable to strike for a winning goal. Paul Smith's midfield of Miles Gifford, Robert Cashion, Max Kreuger, and Jim Hartwell contained the VTC attack thru the center of the field while the back line of Jeff Langschwager, Kyle Reidman, Evan Utter, and Richard Odums continually stopped the potent attack of VTC's top scorers. Throughout the game, Paul Smith's frontline of Kamaruzaman Mohammed and Michael Hall along with Anthony Wolcott coming off the bench kept VTC's defense in the back field and unable to assist their attack. In addition, Ryan Turgeon assisted the PSC defense with his outstanding outside-midfield play. Coach Martinez was extremely pleased with his players effort.

wow 40 pounds lost. I never realized he was such a fat baish.
hope he does good this season.
I can't beleave they signed davi again what a waste of money and what a goon they could of got someone who at least wants to win
You're an idiot, Nightfox. JGR signed Stewart, and I believe he's the rider capable of getting wins. Millsaps is showing some determination to get back up there, hence the 40 lbs he lost. And Millsaps is hot and cold, depending on the weekend. There're times when he can be one of the fastest guys on the track. Hopefully losing weight and getting his bike dialed in he can put in a good strong year. But you're an idiot for bashing Millsaps. Who else could have JGR signed? Uhhh, Wey? Hahn? Everyone else already signed deals. Plus, I think it's ironic when fans of the sport rag on professional racers calling them "goons".
lol hardly an idiot! No doubt you have to be good to race at that level hands down but davi turned into a wimp! I liked him when he was in the lites and just didnt give a rats ass and went for it! And would win. Now he will just come up with every excuse in the book why he wasnt up there in the front where he should be but time will play out and you will see he will prob get hurt or come up with some excuse why he cant race makes the team look bad and a waste of money.
I like Millisaps, but they should have and could of had Kyle Chisholm. That would have been a way better sign. No doubt about his desire, to want to win, and probably could have got him a little cheaper. Just my opinion.

Furthermore, we also find that by controlling the breath in various ways we actually gain control over immense amounts of energy! Most of the really difficult postures I've gotten into in yoga were entirely a result of conscious breathing, and not about my muscle strength.
The practice of pranayama can give us access to power, but it also increases our ability to focus. When your mind is scattered and you are trying to accomplish a hundred things at once, and it seems you can't get anything done at all, steady your breath. Suddenly, your brain mimics the regular pace of your lungs and diaphragm, and the thoughts are all still there, but have organized themselves into clear categories. You find you have the ability to put one task in front, and accomplish it from beginning to end with out distraction, and then onto the next, and so on.
Pranayama is a key to unlock our most powerful and most intelligent potential. After all, how are we able to function if our electricity is just spiraling out of control all over our mind and body? Control the breath, and you control the nerves which are the conductors of our lives. Each human is like a mini orchestra made up of many vibrations. With out a conscious conductor, we are just a mess of noise. With a conductor, the symphony roars in harmony and even improvises better on the spot. And so, if you want more control over your life, practice pranayama. Just 5 minutes a day of controlled breathing. It's harder then it sounds. The minute you sit to just practice breathing your brain starts freaking out, as if this is such a waste of time, and it has so many other things to do. But get passed that moment, and you'll be amazed at what you find!

Book Description:Recent legislation requires that all states makes provisions for the disposal of their low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) by 1993. This comprehensive new reference on LLRW serves as an important step towards helping them comply with these strict regulations. Accessible to non-experts, "Low-Level Radioactive Waste" examines the sources of LLRW, the history of LLRW disposal, current management and disposal alternatives (including all of the latest technical methods), and future trends in waste disposal. It addresses the risks and "cradle to grave" liabilities associated with LLEW and how our society has responded to this increasing threat and related issues. Although the chapters are integrated, they can be read independently as essays with documentation on specific subtopics. In addition, an appendix contains an extensive glossary for non-technical readers, a question-and-answer section (useful to government agencies and private organizations involved in LLRW disposal). "Low-Level Radioactive Waste" should prove useful to professionals who must understand the nature and hazards of LLRW, especially to those individuals who are researching, evaluating or developing the multiple LLRW disposal sites that must be in place by 1993. This book should be of interest to professionals involved in environmental health, waste disposal.

Weidmann says ECB is not the only crisis manager: paper
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Bundesbank chief Jens Weidmann warned against relying on the European Central Bank as the only crisis manager, telling a Finnish newspaper that its bond buyback program me was risky.
"Central banks in recent years have been pulled into the role of a crisis manager. Some think that central banks are the only able ones. I consider this thinking wrong and dangerous," Weidmann, also ECB Governing Council member, told Helsingin Sanomat in an interview.
His comments were published in Finnish on the newspaper's website on Sunday.
Weidmann reiterated his criticism of the ECB's program of buying bonds on the secondary market of highly indebted euro member states.
"The program can bring considerable risks to the monetary policy. Those risks now have to be limited and prevented," he was quoted as saying.
Weidmann said the greatest risk is that the cheaper financing takes away the incentive for fiscal reform.
"Monetary policy can only buy more time. It is like a painkiller which will not erase the reasons but can cause risks and side effects," he said.
He also warned against Europe depending on the ECB to supervise banks in the banking union.
"That would mask the conflict of interest between the supervision task and monetary policy. I hope that the ECB would only serve as a helper," he said.

A man has gone on trial accused of strangling a prostitute to death in an abandoned home.
Dubai Court of First Instance heard how the Bangladeshi allegedly used they woman's scarf to kill her after they had a dispute over Dhs100.
Official records said the woman's body lay undiscovered in the empty house for six months until her skeleton was found by an inspector from the municipality who had gone to check the building before it was to be demolished.
The inspector called cops after making the grim discovery.
Police investigations found that the 27-year-old Bangladeshi was the last person to be seen with the woman.
"We arrested him. At first he denied any involvement but then he confessed he knew she was a prostitute and they had gone to the house to have sex. He said that after they finished he gave her Dhs50 but she demanded Dhs100," an Emirati policeman said in official records.
"He claims she insisted she wanted more money and threatened to have him beaten up so he strangled her to death with her own scarf."
In court he denied the charge and the case was adjourned.

July 20, 2011 - Kirby Lester Announces New KL1 Compact Tablet Counter
The KL1 is Kirby Lester's smallest, most affordable tablet counter ever.
Lake Forest, IL (July 20, 2011)
- Kirby Lester, LLC, the world's leading pharmacy automation provider, unveiled its latest innovation: the KL1 compact tablet counter. The KL1 is the smallest and most affordable pharmacy counter ever: at just 6 pounds and 6" wide, the KL1 will fit into even the most crowded pharmacy workspace.
Kirby Lester will introduce the KL1 in Las Vegas, NV today at the Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference.
In 1971, Kirby Lester changed the way pharmacists dispensed medications with the introduction of the first tabletop counter. Over the next 40 years, the Kirby Lester tablet counter became a mainstay atop pharmacy dispensing stations. Each new model that Kirby Lester released (KL7, KL8, KLX and the KL15e) was an improvement over the preceding model. The new KL1 is the product of Kirby Lester's expertise in counting accuracy, ease of use and overall efficiency. The KL1 makes the fifth new product launch in five years from Kirby Lester.
"The Kirby Lester name is synonymous with accurate medication dispensing. While we have spent the past six years designing highly advanced, computerized dispensing systems, we have always stayed true to our heritage of building the simplest, most accurate and affordable tablet counters the world has ever used," says Garry Zage, R.Ph., Kirby Lester's President and CEO. "I am very proud that we have been able to develop and release our newest table top counter, the KL1 and our KL60 robot in the last 18 months. Kirby Lester alone can offer pharmacies a full line of options from accurate and fast tabletop counting to robotic dispensing."
Kirby Lester will continue to offer the classic KL15e tablet counter alongside the new KL1. The KL1 is the ideal tablet counter for any volume pharmacy, and especially helpful for space-constrained pharmacies. With the world-renowned Kirby Lester counting technology inside, the KL1 includes innovative features such as inventory mode, partial pill indicator and an ergonomically designed tray.
The KL1's major features are:
Compact design inspired by feedback from our 40,000 customers worldwide (just 6"W x 12"H)
Fast operation (15-18 tablets/second)
Partial pill indicator maintains filling integrity
Inventory mode: keeps count when the tray is being emptied
Ergonomically designed tray with left/right pouring
Simple cleaning
No calibration needed; counts any size tablet or capsule up to 22mm long
Patented counting technology inside allows the KL1 to count tablets much faster and more accurately than any competing technology
About Kirby Lester
Kirby Lester is by far the world's longest-operating pharmacy automation provider. Established in 1971, Kirby Lester maintains the largest market share of automatic tablet/capsule counter sales in the United States, plus 40 other countries. More Kirby Lester counters are used to dispense prescriptions in retail, mail order, hospital and long-term care pharmacies and manufacturing facilities than any other automated counting system; 40,000 pharmacies worldwide rely on Kirby Lester for their counting needs...exactly!

HOME ON THE RANGE: Bluegrass is in the blood for the pickers of N.C. outfit Balsam Range
By Steve Wildsmith (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Like the men and women who play it, bluegrass is inextricably tied to the land.
The rolling twang of the banjo, the mournful sigh of the fiddle, the high and lonesome call of the mandolin: Together, those instruments make music that celebrates Southern ground. From the toil of plowing rocky fields to the blood spilled in countless battles to the raising of cabins that provide shelter for generations of families, that soil is as much a part of its native sons and daughters as the blood that runs in their veins. And when they play the music that gives it voice, they do so with an authenticity that's can't be duplicated.
"It really comes down to it being authentic," said Darren Nicholson, the mandolin player for North Carolina-based bluegrass band Balsam Range. "It's like when George Jones sings a drinking song — it's makes more of an impact because he knows about it. The music in Western North Carolina, and to a larger degree the South, is a cultural thing.
"I remember growing up, every Friday and Saturday night, there were 10 or 15 people in our house making music. We would move all the furniture back, and it was a jam. People would dance — clogging and mountain-style dance. And there are a lot of schools in the mountains where they teach that as part of the curriculum. It's a way of life and a culture, and we've seen that spread out from the living room and into the bluegrass and Americana scenes.
"That's why everybody is so friendly at these big festivals," he added. "We're all kind of like a big family."
That kinship is the driving force behind Balsam Range, which kicks off WDVX-FM's "World Class Bluegrass" concert series on Saturday night in downtown Knoxville. Nicholson and his bandmates — bass player/resonator guitarist/lead vocalist Tim Surrett, fiddler and tenor vocalist Buddy Melton, guitarist/vocalist Caleb Smith and banjo player Marc Pruett — all come from similar backgrounds, and all came to the Balsam Range table with plenty of experience beneath their belts.
Nicholson grew up in Jackson County, N.C., listening to the Grand Ole Opry and developing an affinity for bluegrass and traditional country. He received his first mandolin when he was 16, dabbled with it for a year and put it aside for another before getting serious at 18. How serious? A year and a half later, he was on the stage at the Grand Ole Opry with fellow bluegrass musician Alecia Nugent. He was originally brought along as a guest of the band, but when a position opened up, Nugent asked him to join full time.
"I was right out of high school, and I thought, why not?" Nicholson said. "That was the time in my life when I could go and see the world and experience music. I hadn't been playing the mandolin that long, and I remember going down to the Grand Ole Opry and seeing all of these great players, but instead of leaving there defeated because I knew I wasn't at that level, it just inspired me. I thought, 'If I'm going to come down here and embarrass myself, I'd better practice.'"
He did, and in so doing proved himself as an invaluable member of Nugent's band. When he came off the road in 2007, he recorded a solo album, and the genesis of Balsam Range was in that work.
"Buddy and I did records about the same time, and Marc and Tim both played on the same records," Nicholson said. "We found ourselves in the studio with them; Tim had come off the road about the same time I did; and Marc had been with Ricky Skaggs but was playing with a local band. We found ourselves at home in Haywood County at the same time.
"Here we were, five guys who all lived three or four minutes from each other. It was just so rare to have that kind of talent nearby — before, I had been in a situation where I was driving from Canton (N.C.) to Nashville every week to meet the band. So we all decided to get together and have a jam session at my house, and it went pretty good."
From the beginning, Nicholson said, Balsam Range felt different. For one, the talent of his bandmates was equal to that of the players he was driving all the way to Nashville to meet on a weekly basis. The bluegrass community around Waynesville, N.C., on the edge of the Cherokee National Forest, didn't take long to discover the new band, and within a short amount of time, Balsam Range was being heralded as the next big thing.
"Right off the bat, our home folks and our home county made us feel like we were a lot more than we really were," he said.
Over the course of four albums, however, Balsam Range has turned heads nationally as well. The band was nominated as Emerging Artist of the Year at both the 2010 and 2011 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards, earning Album of the Year and Song of the Year nominations as well for the song and record "Trains I Missed." The increased visibility led to a friendship with John Driskell Hopkins — the bass player for country music giant the Zac Brown Band, also in Knoxville this weekend — which in turn led to Balsam Range being brought into Brown's Southern Ground Music family as an unofficial distant cousin. The guys not only played at the Southern Ground Music Festival last year; they also acted as the backup band for Hopkins' recent solo effort, "Daylight."
"What an awesome thing, being on the same bill as Gregg Allman and Grace Potter and John Mayer," Nicholson said. "John loves bluegrass, truly loves it, and he's really gotten into it. He has a big respect for it, and I kind of compare it to when Del McCoury and Steve Earle teamed up: It opened the eyes of Steve's fans to bluegrass. Del didn't change what he did; basically what it did was get him in front of a different audience.
"Working with John didn't change Balsam Range's music; it just allowed other people to see us, and that's just awesome. We have people who come up and say, 'I never listened to bluegrass before, but you guys are great. I love bluegrass now!' And that's a great feeling."
It's also been a two-way street. Recently, Hopkins traveled to North Carolina to perform with Balsam Range on the band's home turf, and Nicholson admits that he and his bandmates were apprehensive over how their fans — many of whom are purists who feel "forsaken" when their beloved artists cross genre lines and dabble in "popular" music, no matter how talented such collaborations might be.
"This was the first time it was kind of on our turf, and we were nervous about how people would accept it, but it worked so beautifully because John's such a great guy," Nicholson said. "He's down to earth and genuine in his love for music and the way he likes Balsam Range, and the crowd felt right at home with him immediately. They connected instantly.
"Besides, his record is a lot like Balsam Range live. There's some country, some acoustic rock and some bluegrass-sounding songs, so it's really a great marriage with what we do. And he's in one of the hottest acts in music right now, period. We came out and did our thing, then John came out, and we did some songs from his record. It was nice to see two completely different worlds come together and work."
Country and bluegrass may not seem that different, and where the Zac Brown Band (arguably one of the more authentic groups in contemporary country today) and Balsam Range are concerned, they're not. But the artists themselves travel in two completely separate worlds. Hopkins and his bandmates live in a land of tour buses, spectacular stage productions, television appearances and endorsement deals from major sponsors. Nicholson and the boys in Balsam Range ... well, they come from a simpler world.
Not less talented; simpler. Nicholson knows this, because he's grown up around guys who play the same style of music he does. He's learned from them, and he knows that in his world, men like that will never have the same opportunities with which he himself has been blessed. And that's OK, because they do not seek it.
"A lot of these older guys who have been around music for a long time, they just want to see it go on. They want to encourage young people," he said. "That's the real deal. I know so many talented people, probably more so than the people you hear on the radio, who make a living by working on cars or farming, but music is a part of their life, and they've played their whole life. It's a part of them and a part of who they are."

Readers' Favorite Christmas Memories
"What are your favorite Christmas memories?" I asked my readers last week with the promise that I would post the best one. The stories that were submitted were so special that I wasn't able to choose just one. So, here for your enjoyment are the favorite recollections of several readers.
From Deb Traverso of Falling Waters, West Virginia:
"I think I'll sit this one out because my favorite Christmas tradition annoys my son. On a day in December when he least expects it, I crank up the stereo speakers and wake him to the joyful (and VERY loud) tunes of the Muppets singing the "Twelve Days of Christmas." He always forgives me by at least 11 a.m., when he realizes I can make him lunch. It's great fun."
From Jana Sloan Hall of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:
"Some of my fondest childhood Christmas memories are centered on the dime store nativity set in our living room. It had a light in the top for the star. Many evenings as my mother was preparing dinner and darkness filled the room my mother, brother, and I would gather around the nativity set and softly sing Christmas carols. It became a holy time. For us, God's Incarnation was there in our living room. We were filled with awe and wonder. My brother treasures that little nativity set and puts it out each year in his home. I treasure my memories."
From Twyla Boyer Hajdukiewicz of Long Island, New York:
"One of my favorite Christmas memories won't bring any awards, but perhaps smiles and understanding. I was single, living in the Pittsburgh area, working full-time, singing in the church choir, and (as a single person) invited with some insistence to FOUR homes for Christmas dinner – two in the North Hills, one in the South Hills, and one in the Mon Valley. It would have taken about 8 hours of driving to go to all of them and though I loved each friend dearly, I wasn't looking forward to rushing about and spending most of Christmas Day in my car. Well, it seemed God knew I needed rest because I started to come down with bronchitis, beginning Christmas Eve morning. It sounds terrible, but I was actually gleeful about it. I knew that with enough cough drops and Chloraseptic I could make it through Christmas Eve services and that I would have a very good reason to just stay home, which was what I really, really wanted to do. I called each friend and explained that I'd be unable to make it, went to the video store and rented five movies I'd been wanting to see, stopped at Boston Market and the grocery to buy enough Christmas dinner stuff to last a few days, made it to church and through the singing, then went home and spent all day on Christmas being a slug on the couch, watching wonderful movies (some rented, some on tv), sleeping whenever I felt like it, eating roasted chicken, stuffing, potatoes, spiced apples and pie whenever I wanted. It was totally peaceful, totally relaxing, and I enjoyed every second of my respite from the craziness of how the world does Christmas. I got to see my friends later, on different days over the course of a couple of weeks, allowing me to thoroughly enjoy my time with each one in a totally unhurried manner. It's definitely not the stuff of Normal Rockwell, but it sure was nice for a year to be able to take Christmas off from everything."
Thank you, Deb, Jana and Twyla for being my guests today on SOAR WITH EAGLES and for sharing your Christmas memories!
I wish all of my readers a wonderful Christmas. As we celebrate with our families and friends, let us remember the priceless eternal gift from our Heavenly Father – the birth of our Savior. Without the birth of Jesus Christ, not one of us would have the hope, the promise of spending eternity in heaven with God, our Father. While on earth, Jesus taught each one of us how to live according to God's Will, and in doing so, our lives are rich no matter what our circumstances may be.
And so, this Christmas season, whether you face prosperity or hardship, know that God loves YOU so deeply and unconditionally that He has given you a gift that will never break, fade or tarnish. If you don't know this blessed Jesus, I invite you to seek Him. He is right here, waiting for you. All you have to do is call His name and He will show you how to know Him.

Do you have a favorite Christmas memory? One you remember when you sit back with a cup of eggnog and think of past Yuletides? (I'll bet you have more than one!)
My husband and I both love to recall a certain Christmas when we lived in Philadelphia. Our two sweeties were very little, and were filled with anticipation of Santa's arrival. Being so young, they were also more than a little fearful that Santa, a stranger they only saw at the department store once a year, was coming inside their very own home.
After the Christmas Eve church service, Daddy Tim drove our little family home and directed me to take the wee ones upstairs and get them ready for bed. He would stay downstairs and get milk and cookies ready for Santa's snack when the jolly elf arrived during the middle of the night. Sounded like a plan.
In various states of undress, our sweet ones had a total freakout and meltdown at the sound of jingle bells ringing in our kitchen. A leather strap lined with large sleigh bells hung on the door to our basement. Everytime we opened the basement door, they jingled. But this sound was no delicate, brief jingle. Nooo. It was loud and endless, as though Santa was already inside the house and his mission was to see how loud and long he could jingle those blessed jingle bells.
Amidst shrieks of fear and tears and outright screams of horror, someone (with a silly grin on his face, I'm certain) stood in the kitchen shaking the living bejebbers out of those bells and thinking he was oh, so clever. Unable to calm her babies, Mommy was getting more and more miffed.
"Daddy," I called out sternly from the top of the stairs, "do you hear your children?" The jingling stopped.
"You need to come upstairs now and tell these children exactly who was ringing those sleigh bells if you expect anyone in this house to get sleep tonight!"
In seconds, a child stuffed inside my husband's body appeared and tried his best to calm his children as the child within him giggled out the true explanation for the shaking of the sleigh bells.
"I'll hide those bells next year," I told the man-boy five hours later when the children had finally fallen asleep.

Read MoreHer Heart's Desire
What is your heart's desire? Everyone has one. It's something you would love to have, but it's difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. Come find out how God fulfilled Grandma Alice's heart's desire one special Christmas.
For my mother's family, Christmas during the Great Depression was non-existent. By the time my mother was six years old, she and her siblings had never received a Christmas gift nor had a Christmas tree stood in their house. It wasn't that Mother's parents didn't believe in celebrating Christmas. Rather, a severe lack of finances prohibited it.
As Alice went about her chores in the days following Thanksgiving, the celebration of Christmas weighed on her. She knew all too well that there was no money to buy a Christmas tree at the lot in town, so she didn't bother to speak with her husband about that. No sense making Ed feel worse than he already did that he couldn't purchase a tree let alone gifts for his wife and children. But there was someone whom Alice could speak with and she earnestly confided in Him.
All she wanted was to buy a Christmas tree for her children to enjoy and maybe a small gift for her husband and her children. It was alright if there was no money for a gift for herself. It was her family that she wanted to bless in a small way.
For days, Alice prayed for a miracle – for extra money to come to her and Ed. But now it was the week before Christmas and her prayers were unanswered. She knew that God hears and answers all prayers, sometimes saying "yes," other times "no" and at times "wait." She wiped a tear and resigned herself that the answer to her request was a no, and she asked God to give her the grace to accept His Will.
As she worked in her kitchen, a thought came to her. Their elderly neighbor, Mrs. Martin, had a grove of pine trees on her farm. Fresh pine trees! And some of those pine trees would make perfect Christmas trees. Alice spoke to the Lord about those pines and her heart's desire.
The next morning, she hurried into the kitchen and after mixing some yeast dough, she set it aside to rise. By the time breakfast was over and the kitchen cleaned, Alice worked her magic with the risen dough. Before her marriage, she had been a cook at a local hotel and was known far and wide for her excellent culinary skills.
When the cinnamon rolls were cool, Alice covered them with a cloth and put them in her market basket along with several dozen sugar cookies shaped like stars and a hatchet. Alice quickly glanced out the window. It was beginning to snow. She filled the cookstove with wood so the kitchen would be warm for her little ones, then gave the children some books to look at with the admonition to stay inside and away from the stove while she was gone. Ed was working inside the barn and wouldn't be able to see her leave.
Pulling her worn coat around her, Alice hurried down the lane to the dirt road. Lowering her head against the biting wind, she realized that she'd forgotten her gloves but she was too far in the journey to go back.
Mrs. Martin opened her door and invited a snow-covered Alice to step inside, happy for the company. Alice handed the cinnamon buns and cookies to Mrs. Martin and asked if they could serve as payment for a small pine in the grove. Her four little ones had never had a Christmas tree, she explained.
Mrs. Martin looked at Alice in amazement. A recent widow, she, too, was suffering the effects of the Depression and was out of flour and sugar. The rolls and cookies were an answer to her prayer for some baked goods for Christmas.
It wasn't easy chopping down a fresh pine with a hatchet, especially with the snow making the ground slippery, but God gave Alice a determined spirit. By the time she arrived back in their lane, the heavy snow was deepening and weighing down the pine. Alice's fingers were numb and her stockings were in shreds as she prayed for strength to finish her task. It came in the form of her husband who rushed to her and took over pulling the heavy tree as four little faces, pressed against the kitchen window, watched.
After Ed shook the snow from the tree and carried it into the kitchen, he and the children filled the air with squeals of excitement.
That afternoon, Alice and the children sat at the table and made paper ornaments and strings of popcorn. Ed joined in, too, once the chores were finished. As Ed lifted the children to the top of the tree so they could hang the last of the decorations, Alice realized that even though life was difficult, God could be counted on to provide for them. And even a little extra like a heart's desire.
What heart's desire have you had that the Lord provided? Share it with us!
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires." Psalm 37:4.
Oh, Lord, my times are in your hands.

Read MoreThe Path to Winter
Good stories serve a purpose. While the objective of some stories is met immediately, the lesson of other stories can be years in the making. Such is the case with this story about my grandmother, Alice. Come with me as we visit my grandparents' farm near Muncy, Pennsylvania.
A nip in the September air caused Alice to reflect that her four children had grown out of their winter coats, leggings and boots at the end of the previous winter. If the truth be known, the children outgrew the coats just as they fell apart from years of use by previous owners. Alice opened a canning jar that she kept hidden in a kitchen cupboard and counted the bills and coins it contained. There wasn't enough to purchase winter clothing for one child let alone four.
With the Great Depression in full force, Alice and her husband Ed were having a difficult time making ends meet. As she so often did when adversity confronted her, Alice lowered her head in silent prayer. If there was anything good coming from such troublesome times, it was that Alice was learning to depend on the Lord to meet her family's needs.
That afternoon as she hung laundry on the clothesline in the backyard, Alice turned her head and looked across the cornfield to the woods where several hickory trees grew at its edge. Their golden leaves made them easy to spot. She felt a strong urge to walk over to them and when she saw that the trees and ground were covered with an abundance of hickory nuts, an idea came to her. After filling her apron to overflowing with the nuts, she hurried home.
Each day, Alice and the children returned to the hickory trees and gathered the nuts. At night, they sat at the kitchen table by the light of an oil lamp and picked the nuts out of their shells. After weighing the nuts on a scale, each pound was poured into a small paper bag. It occurred to Alice that had she not followed the strong urging to walk over to the trees, she would never have thought of harvesting the nuts.
That Saturday, Ed loaded his wife, the bags of hickory nuts and a small wagon into the car and they drove into town. Ed drove to a residential area and after he unloaded the wagon, he and Alice filled it with the bags of nuts. Ed left as he had errands to do in town and Alice had a mission.
She pulled the wagon behind her as she went door to door seeking customers. It was now November and not only did she know that women were starting their Thanksgiving and Christmas baking, she also knew that hickory nuts were scarce due to the Depression, as were many things. In no time at all, Alice sold all of the bags for 25 cents each and even had several orders for more nuts.
For days, Alice and the children repeated the chores of gathering the hickory nuts, shelling, weighing and bagging them, and every Saturday, Alice walked through town and sold the nuts. When nature provided no more nuts, Alice counted her earnings. The harvest not only provided enough money to buy new coats, leggings and boots for all four of her children but much-needed winter coats and boots for Ed and her as well.
Because Alice faithfully turned to the Lord in the midst of her troubles, God always provided a way for Alice. He didn't necessarily answer her prayers exactly the way she hoped or thought He would, but He answered in ways that were better than she could have imagined.
For as long as I can remember, my own mother relied on her faith and childhood memories to get her through the difficulties that visit a person's life. And she loved to share these precious recollections with my siblings and me. Over 80 years later, when my own family and I found ourselves in the midst of severe misfortune, it was my mother's stories about her parents' faith and persevering spirit during hardships that provided examples for my husband and me.
When Christmas came and my husband and I had no money to buy presents for our own children or food for our usual feast, I thought of Grandma Alice and Grandpa Ed and I knew what I needed to do. I gathered our children close to me and explained that we already had the best presents – our love for each other and our faith that God would see us through our troubles. And just as He had done for my grandparents and parents, God faithfully provided for us.
What gifts are you giving your family? Are they tangible presents that are here today and gone tomorrow? Or will you pass on your faith which will last for generations?
"I will be glad and rejoice in Your love, because You saw my suffering; You knew my troubles." Psalm 31:7.

This week in the Southeastern Conference there are six conference games highlighted by two ranked matchups.
Childhood favorites matter in the world of recruiting and last week, we saw several major prospects commit to schools they grew up watching.
The Missouri Tigers ended Georgia's 15-game home winning streak and in doing so put themselves in the driver's seat for the Southeastern Conference East Division title.
For all you passionate fans, you big-time stats guys, you BTSG's. Here are some notes, nuggets and tidbits of all things College Football. Impress your friends it's time to kickoff!
The road teams came out with victories in the Southeastern Conference this past weekend, but the most impressive was Missouri's dismantling of Vanderbilt in Nashville.


text: I absolutely cannot stand Christians. I hate having friends who are Super-Christians, I hate having to listen to Christian(especially contemporary, just kill me now)and I HATE going to Church. I feel like a harlot(which I'm not) everytime I walk into one. I think devotionals are f**king retarded. I can't stand having to be around super Christian people because I feel like I have to act proper around them. When one of my roomates forces me to go to church with them I feel looked down upon and preached to. The funny thing is though, is that I actually consider myself Christian. I've always felt this way. When I talk to people about this, including people like my own sister, they don't listen to what I'm saying and just write me off as some kind of atheist. They just suck the fun out of everything. Is this normal? What gives? Sorry for the long post.

LANSINGBURGH, N.Y. - Thick, black smoke billowing from the second floor could be seen from blocks away of 468 9th Avenue in Lansingburgh Sunday evening.
It was Dorothea Zuchniewicz's husband, a neighbor of the home, who first spotted the blaze around 5:30 Sunday evening before alerting Zuchniewicz of the fire.
Zuchniewicz tells NEWS10 they could see flames coming out of a bedroom window.
She said they ran to the house, her husband breaking down the front door. Both of them trying to get up the stairs to make sure the family of four was not at home. But Zuchniewicz tells NEWS10 the smoke and heat were just too intense.
"It was very, very frightening. I've never been that close to a fire before," Zuchniewicz said.
As for her actions, Zuchniewicz downplayed the danger. "There were no cars there but we just couldn't take that chance. It was just instinctive, to just go in and do what you have to do," she said.
Once firefighters arrived on scene, they used ladders and even a chainsaw to release some of the heat and get water on the flames.
In all, Fire Chief Tom Garrett said it took them about 45 minutes to put out the fire he called challenging.
Garret says three firefighters were blown down a flight of stairs as the result of a flash-over. "They are lucky they're not burned. The gas blew them down, the explosion blew them down the stairs," Garrett said.
Garrett said another firefighter also suffered minor injuries after falling off a ladder at the back of the home.
Garrett said it is too early to tell the cause of the fire, but explained it didn't appear to be suspicious.

Do you know these two? Maybe it has happened before and she was protecting herself.He should have not threw her keys away, because if she would have had her keys. maybe she would have left before all of it got this bad. There are some females that needs to be charged for CDV, but I don't think Jessica is one of them. She had to prtect herself, because there is not much telling what he could have done to her. If someone like that had thrown my keys away, I would have done the same thing. And has far as her calling her dad, he is going to do what he needs to do to protect his daughter. Any parent would protect their children.Maybe more females should be more like her.... WTG Jessica
I agree that any parent is going to protect their child. That having been said, you expect us to believe that this woman had to defend herself to the point she allegedly had no choice but to punch this man in the nose? Violent men punch back my dear. If her rendition of the story were true she would have more than a grab mark on her arm. He did not hit her, not once - not even in jest or it would have been noted in the police report.
If her father truly was there to protect her, then why was she the one throwing punches and not her father? The only person with true domestic violence marks on him was the husband. I for one say, he has great restraint not to have hurt her.
Perhaps he shouldn't have thrown away her keys, however that is nothing more than a man (the fool) desperate to save the relationship with the woman he loves. The fact is he did not hurt her, PERIOD. He wanted to talk to her and this gesture proves it. If he had wanted to hurt her, that could have been accomplished before her father arrived and before the police arrived. If she was truly that scared she should have called the police.
But she wasn't scared, she was setting up a man foolishly in love with her.
No this story does not work. This woman is not abused nor was she protecting herself. She is a devious spoiled brat. She pulled her father in to cover her back side. My guess (and this is only supposition) she is likely seeing one of the police officers that helped her set her husband up.
I sure hope the judge and jury can see through this ridiculous story she is spinning to hurt what seems to me to be a very self controlled young man.
I hope he has a good attorney. (And, NO - I do NOT know either of these people. I don't think I've even met them before.) Of Course this is simply my conclusion based on the facts presented. I only know what has been presented in this article.
