Good choice to stay for a few days.
Posted Nov 19, 2013Pros: Its clean and healthy, wifi, the food and professional employees.
Cons: The TV's, GET FLAT SCREENS.
Location: Location was good, Fairbanks is not that big so everything is sort of bunched up, the farthest destinations were Fred Meyers and the airport.
Good wifi, great rooms, need some flat screens in the room instead of those old school TV's though. I'm not trying to compare but I have been in hotels with flat screens and it will reflect back on you guys a whole lot better if you get some flat screens. Just saying.

Fairbanks westmark hotel
Posted Nov 10, 2013When I got to hotel the counter person was very nice but while I was on the phone with expedia trying to straighten out some issues the counter person pulled out a crossword and started doing it. The morning waiter didn't seem to care for us and told us that we could get our beverages from the buffet but was bringing other customers the same beverage from the kitchen.

Lovely hotel, walking distance from downtown
Posted Nov 10, 2013Pros: Staff, location, facilities.
Cons: Just the one member of staff!
Location: Very friendly place. Walk around downtown and along the river, check out the diner and restaurants. Get a bus to North Pole. Visit university.
Stayed here as part of a Holland America tour and then for some extra days to explore Fairbanks. It was nicely located for us to walk into town and to the bus depot. Reception staff were excellent, they accommodated our room move (from tour to our own booking) with the utmost convenience (straight from one to the other). Had dinner in the restaurant which was amazing, wish we'd had room for dessert. There's a nice little gift shop too. My only grumble would be that the older maid in the tour part of the hotel was really rude to us on the day we were changing room as she knocked on the door around 10am (check out is 11am) and we were still there but hadn't put the 'Do Not Disturb' sign up (I got a lecture about it's use!). The maids and the handyman in the other tower were marvellous though, so friendly we had a lovely chat with them each day. There is the option to get a Northern Lights wake up call - do use it. Used the gym which has towels provided - great addition.

Will never return to this hotel!
Posted Nov 2, 2013The rooms did not appear cleaned well. Only the beds were made but thy didn't clean other areas of the room. They took too long to bring us towels and toilet paper. Continental breakfast was bland and not worth eating! Quite disappointed with my stay at this hotel.

for Business Travelersby A verified traveler
Good solid hotel.
Posted Sep 26, 2013Pros: Good price for a full-service hotel. Location is good -- can walk to restaurants.
Cons: Internet service for the rooms!!
I come up for business every year, and the Westmark is just right. Restaurants are decent, access if great. Good restaurants within walking distance -- some within two blocks. Two warnings to consider however: it is a cruise-ship layover hotel, so can get crowded with busloads (literally) of cruisers. (The good news is that Alaska Airlines has bag check-in service counter right in the hotel -- and you can use if even if you're not on a cruise package.) Second, Internet access stinks -- wifi is only available in "common areas." Otherwise, it's a good place for a business or pleasure traveller.

Fifteen pink slips for Lassen County teachers
The Westwood Unified School District issued four layoff notices March 15 to one administrator and three teachers.
Richmond School and the Lassen County Office of Education will not be laying employees off while Lassen High School and Johnstonville face cuts.
Richmond School Superintendent Cindy Nellums said rather than having to give teachers notice, Richmond is looking to hire teachers.
A staff member is leaving the area after 10 years and a temporary classroom was added this year to handle increased enrollment in the second and third grades. The classroom will be come permanent next year so Richmond will hire for that position.
"I personally hand-deliver six notices on Friday last week," said SSD Superintendent David Lutkemeier.
The superintendent said it's difficult making staffing decisions so far in advance, especially when the district state hasn't completed its budget for the school yet.
Lutkemeier said, for example, if the district discovered the number of third grade students would decrease in a hypothetical scenario, the district might decide to let one of two teachers go.
Otherwise, the district goes to the seniority list — according to the state's education code and the contracts that have been signed with the teachers.
"In the last three years, everybody who's been laid off has been brought back," Lutkemeier said.
He added sometimes teachers have decided to move out of the area or have accepted another job and therefore are not interested in returning to the district, and he said he doesn't count those individuals.
"Over the past three years, everyone who's wanted to come back has been able to," Lutkemeier said. "Of course there's no guarantee that will continue as we move forward."
He said laying off even one teacher is "not good," but the elementary school population in Northern California is gradually declining.
SSD's enrollment has been dropping by 10 or 15 students a year for the past few years, a development Lutkemeier characterized as "slow attrition."
Nellums said Richmond's average daily attendance has held and increased over the last several years and it is expected to be at or near the same enrollment next year.
Richmond also continues to remain solvent.
"Although we have an old bond for a building from 1965 and a bond payment for the gym constructed in 1997, we basically have little debt," Nellums said.
Due to school budgeting and enrollment, Johnstonville School gave notice to one full-time teacher and two part-time Title I teachers.
Johnstonville Superintendent Urbanac said oftentimes, but stressed not all the time, teachers are reinstated when the budget and enrollment numbers are figured out.
Three of Lassen Union High School District teachers were given notification.
LHS Superintendent Dan Lewis said the reason three of LHS's teachers were given notice is the teachers have not finished their full credential program, but are nearing completion.
The teachers are working on intern permits issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
Janesville School Superintendent Gary McIntire said none of the district's teachers received a pink slip, but there may be part-time employees who will not be re-hired next year.
In Westwood, Henry Bietz, superintendent of Westwood School District and principal at Westwood High and Fletcher Walker Elementary, said the second interim financial report presented to the board for approval was based on student enrollment numbers from the previous year. While the district was able to remain financially sound this year the outlook was not good for next year.
The loss of more than 50 students this school year will impact next year's budget. The district receives state funds for each elementary student attending.
Bietz said he had decided not to ask the board to make more extensive staff cuts by combining grades at the elementary school even though many classes had only 14-20 students.
A large chunk of the budget covers the district's commitment to retirees. In the past, money from the Federal Forest Reserve Fund has been used to help cover these costs but this funding will probably be discontinued after this year, said Bietz. However age limits on retiree health benefits should reduce the financial load on the district beginning next year.
At press time information regarding Janesville, Shaffer and Ft. Sage Unified School District was not available.

Florida Southern led from start to finish, ultimately posting a 12-stroke victory over Nova Southeastern on Tuesday to win the title at the NCAA Division II Women's Golf South Regional. The Mocs and Sharks will be joined by Barry, which placed third, at the NCAA DII Women's Golf Championship May 16-19 in Louisville, Ky.
Florida Southern posted a three-round score of 902 (302-296-304) to win the tournament. Nova Southeastern tallied a 914 (308-300-306), and Barry recorded a 922 (305-300-317).
Nova Southeastern's Liliana Cammisa took home the individual championship, posting her second straight sub-par round on Tuesday. Cammisa's final-round one-under 71 gave her a final total of 212 (74-67-71), four strokes better than second-place golfer Meghan Moore of UNC-Pembroke.
Saint Leo's Goeun Lee finished the regional with a three-round score of 222 (73-75-74) to finish sixth and take one of the spots reserved at the NCAA Championship for the top three individual finishers not competing on a qualifying team.
Lee's Saint Leo squad concluded the tournament with a 924 (308-309-307) to finish fourth in the team standings. Lynn was fifth (303-311-312=926), and Rollins tied for seventh (312-308-309=929).
Nancy Vergara was Barry's top individual finisher, posting a tally of 220 (72-72-76) to finish fourth. M.J. Audette paced Florida Southern in fifth place with a score of 221 (73-72-76).
The three SSC teams will look to extend the conference's streak of NCAA DII women's golf championships to 13 straight. An SSC team has won the title every year since 2000. Florida Southern won three straight titles in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Rollins reeled off four consecutive national championships in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. The Mocs reclaimed the top spot in 2007, but the Tars stepped back to the pinnacle in 2008. In 2011, NSU completed a "three-peat" of its own, having also won the DII crown in 2009 and 2010.
The NCAA DII Women's Golf Championship will be played at Perasimmon Ridge Golf Course as part of the NCAA DII Championships Festival.
Florida Southern maintained its spot atop the leaderboard, and the six SSC teams occupied the top six slots in the team standings after two rounds at the NCAA Division II Women's Golf South Regional. The tournament will conclude with 18 holes on Tuesday at the Stonebook Golf Club in Pace, Fla.
The Moccasins extended their lead to seven strokes, firing a second-round 296 to take their total score to 598 (302-296). Barry moved up one spot to second with a two-day score of 605 (305-300). Nova Southeastern assumed third place with a 608 (308-300). Lynn slipped to fourth with a second-round 311, taking their total to 614 (303-311). Saint Leo is fifth (308-309=617), and Rollins is sixth (312-308=620).
NSU's Liliana Cammisa took over the top spot in the individual standings, firing a five-under 67 on Monday. With a two-round score of 141 (74-67), she holds a one-stroke lead over teammate Abbey Gittings (69-73=142).
Barry's Nancy Vergara sits in third with a 144. She has shot an even-par 72 in both rounds thus far. Southern's M.J. Audette is fourth with a 145 (73-72). Rollins' Kayla Sciupider is tied for fifth after turning in a two-under-par 70 on Monday (77-70=147).
Play will conclude with 18 holes on Tuesday. Live scoring is available on the Golf Stat website.
SSC teams dominated the top half of the leaderboard, and Florida Southern held an early one-stroke lead after the opening round at the NCAA Division II Women's Golf South Regional. The event continues through Tuesday at the Stonebrook Golf Club in Pace, Fla.
Southern posted a day one score of 302 to take a one-stroke edge over Lynn, which tallied a 303. Barry was not far behind in third place with an opening-round 305. Saint Leo and Nova Southeastern were knotted in fourth place with a 308. Rollins is seventh after recording a 312.
NSU's Abbey Gittings leads the individual standings, firing the only under-par score of the day. Gittings shot a three-under 69. Barry's Nancy Vergara got off to a good start with an even-par 72. Saint Leo's Goeun Lee and FSC's M.J. Audette are tied for third with a first-round score of 73.
Louise Manalo led Lynn on day one with a score of 74, which tied for seventh. For Rollins, Fabia Rothenfluh is tied for 14th with a 76.
Play resumes with 18 holes on Tuesday. Live scoring is available on the Golf Stat website.
Six SSC women's golf teams have been selected to participate in the NCAA Division II South Region Championship, which will be held at the Stonebrook Golf Course in Pace, Fla., May 6-8.
Nova Southeastern, Florida Southern, Lynn, Rollins, Barry, and Saint Leo will vie for the regional title.
Each super regional will consist of both team and individual competition conducted concurrently with nine teams and four individuals from non-qualifying teams at each site. Participants will complete 54 holes of golf. The top three teams, along with the top three individuals not with a qualifying team, from each super regional will advance to the championships.
The 2012 NCAA Division II Women's Golf Championships will be held May 16-19 at Persimmon Ridge Golf Course in Louisville, Ky.

- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar

In a small bowl, whisk water, brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, pepper flakes and five-spice powder. Pour over chicken. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until chicken is tender, turning chicken occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1 minute or until sauce is thickened. Sprinkle with green onions. If desired, serve with rice. Yield: 5 servings.
Reviews for Asian Chicken Thighs(52)
Sort By :
This was good, but I made it with 1 pound of cubed boneless pork, a sliced yellow onion, a sliced green bell pepper, and a sliced yellow bell pepper. I tripled the sauce ingredients except for the brown sugar (which I doubled). I let it simmer for 10 minutes instead of 30 because of the meat cube size. We had enough sauce for our rice too.
Have done this recipe twice and both times it was a BIG hit! I did this for a small group, about 30, young adults working our church 'Sports Camp' and they loved it. I did it again for the O.W.L.S. (Older Wiser Loving Saints) at church and many asked for the recipe. I couldn't find the Chinese five spice powder so we didn't use it but it had a great taste. Thank you for these wonderful recipes.
Just made this two nights ago, and I'm making it again already! SO good. Better than chinese take-out and super easy. I had everything but the chinese five spice powder, so I substituted a spoon of hoison sauce like another member recommended and it was fantastic! I can't wait for dinner tonight. Ha ha.
Excellent. I used the juice of a whole orange instead of the 1/3 cup water.
I was really surprised by how much I liked this! I usually have a "thing" about eating meat off the bone; while I started my dinner carving off the chicken, I quickly progressed to picking the thigh up for some seriously un-lady-like gnawing. It's that good.
My picky-eaters (9 and 12) ate it slowly, but didn't complain, which is highly unusual for a new flavor. I will be making this again (and again and again....)

It could be anything beyong imgination and not necessarely related to computer world.
What kind of question is this lol? It's a power supply. You use it to power things. Why would you want to modify a computer PSU when you can buy custom power supplies for all kinds of devices & projects.
Huh? What is the point of this thread? You asked what random people would do with a psu? There is only one thing you can do with a power supply: SUPPLY POWER to things. End of story.
There is many projects to do with it other than powering a computer. You're not an engineer...trust me!
use it for arc welding? (1000w translates to 83Amps, so i guess thin sheets can be melted?) normal arc welding typically uses 200amps. use it in a tank for electroplating/electrolisis/etching. making hydrogen from water? and selling it to people? im too sleepy to think of other stuff
It's basically a proprietary PSU (I know because I tore down a dead XPS 700) and is pretty much useless unless you rewire it for use in a regular computer. I doubt it is even 80% efficient.
Heh, it's actually good to see you. For some reason. Anyway, don't bother unless you get it for free. Or maybe if you're planning on running something truly massive on 5/12V, but I have no idea what that would be (besides computers obviously).
I was thinking about wiring it for my computer as supposed and install fans in my bedroom and ligths working on the 12V. Also maybe a docking station to charge my portable dvd player and other stuff at same time using the car adapter.
I had one of these PSU that was a Dell in my old Alienware case. Nobody wanted to buy it. Rather than tossing it, I donated it. The thing is a monster anyways.
83 amps at 12 volts, yes. To get a nice arc you'd need atleast 17-20 volts, and at 17 volts it would barely deliver 58 amps, for a while until you fry it anyway. For comparison I weld with pipewire at around 6000-7000 watts, @ 23-26 volts
You could power a car amplifier with it, but this would only be practical if you already had an amp lying around also.

Catherine Pritchard
Q: Is the N.C. 87/U.S. 421 bypass around Sanford open yet? - R.S., Fayetteville
A: Part of it is.
But work continues on the final section and may not be done until early next year.
Garry Phillips, the resident engineer for the Lee County office of the N.C. Department of Transportation, said the contracted completion date is Oct. 1. But rain and other factors will delay that.
"The weather is obviously not helping us," Phillips said.
Once completed, the bypass will connect N.C. 87 south of Sanford with U.S. 421 to the north. People driving between Fayetteville and Greensboro will be able to drive on continuous four-lane highways without having to deal with slow traffic and stop lights on Horner Boulevard through Sanford.
Q: Could you rerun the information about the dentists who work for sliding scale fees? - R.P., Fayetteville
A: The CARE Clinic at 239 Robeson St. provides free tooth extraction for qualifying county residents. For information, call 485-0555.
And several dental clinics in the area provide discounted care to qualifying low-income people. They include Stedman Family Dental Center in Stedman, 483-3150; Anderson Creek Dental in Spring Lake, 893-5402; and three CommWell Health offices in Dublin (910-879-1020), Dunn (910-567-2646) and Salemburg (910-525-4628).
Meanwhile, the N.C. Missions of Mercy, an affiliate of the N.C. Dental Society, will be in Fayetteville for two days in late July to provide free dental services to 1,000 or more needy patients. The clinic will be at the Crown Expo Center July 26-27, with service starting each day at 6 a.m. There almost certainly will be very long lines.
Q: Is there an 800 number for Facebook? - P.W., Raeford
A: No. Facebook doesn't offer tech support by phone.
Even if you reach a human at the company's regular number - 650-543-4800 - you won't be able to get any help with any Facebook issues there.
Instead, you'll have to click on the "help" link that's at the bottom of just about any Facebook page.
Don't call any phone numbers that promise Facebook tech support that you find through web searches. There are many scammers out there posing as "official" Facebook tech-support outfits.
Q: Can you locate an address for Nancy Grace at HLN? - W.M., Fayetteville
A: You can write her in care of HLNtv at 1 CNN Center, Atlanta, GA 30303. Or call the viewer hotline at 877-626-2901.

I'm leaving my Typepad diggs behind for the "land of the free!"
Wordpress is my new home because I really like free. I also like the feel a tad bit more. I regret leaving behind the incoming links. But, there is more to life than your Technorati authority. So, make sure you update to the travisjohnson.net address or to travjohnson.wordpress.com. Also, update your feeds. It may be the same if you've already subscribed...depending on how you did it. And, if you're not a subscriber, click here.
Anyway, go here or here and make your mark. Grab a coffee. Say hello.
I've been blogging for about 2 1/2 years. I moved from Blogger to Typepad. It was a good move to leave blogger. It was an OK move to go to Typepad. My next home will be great. I do hate walking away from quite a few links...huge bummer.
All blogs entries have been exported. Links are updated. A new design is in place. I have a few tweaks to make. In the meantime, you can double check your links and make sure they are pointing to travisjohnson.net instead of my typepad address.
Maybe I'll show you tomorrow!
I'm enjoying Life Pointe, ministry, my friends, and family more than ever. I feel incredibly blessed and loved. Life is not perfect...not anywhere close. There are definitely challenges, stresses, etc... But, God is really good. My Sunday-wrap up is just to say that I am so blessed to be a part of an incredible family that is bigger than my last name.
This may be the funniest video I've ever seen. Quotes:
Kourtney, McKenna, and Blake.
We are working on getting our own movie posters to insert in the movie poster picture boxes. For now, we use vinyl banners as a cover and turn the light off in the picture box. The light is on here, making a pretty cool effect. Check out some more pics from our weekends on our slideshow.
Today, we (the family) went to the beach...no HUGE outing, just a walk, lunch, and walking in the sand. Kourtney, McKenna, and I played around in the surf. Then, I took Blake and dabbed him in the water. It's a really big ocean. It's a big world. I know he's going to take it by storm...if his sisters don't beat him to it that is. Kourtney, McKenna, and now Blake have made life pretty awesome. I really love being their dad.
With Blake coming on the scene, everybody has been really incredible...making our life easier. We haven't fixed a meal in over two weeks. Let me tell you that there are some women at Life Pointe that can throw down in the kitchen! I've gotten more voice mails, emails, and blog comments than I could ever return. Today, we even got flowers from a cool-as-heck pastor and his wife Stephanie from right up the road.
I'm a blessed guy. My son put his feet in the ocean and I feel like I have more friends than a beach has sand.

The Snowys Trailer
Next week sees the release of The Snowys, the second film from The Rapha Continental Australia. The Snowy Mountains, the 'Snowys' of the film's title, are home to Mount Kosciuszko, at 7,310ft the highest peak in Australia. Their place in Australian folklore was secured in 1890, with their appearance in The Man from Snowy River. Arguably Australia's most well-known poem and penned by its best-loved poet, Andrew 'Banjo' Patterson, it is a lyrical tale of frontier heroism and the triumph of the underdog.
Shot in the middle of winter Down Under and directed by Joel Harmsworth, The Snowys presents an Australian landscape unfamiliar to those who have not visited the region and which, draped in snow for several months of the year, is part of the larger Australian Alps.
Set to a haunting score and produced in association with The Sweetshop, The Snowys contrasts the traditional transport of the Aussie stockman, the horse, with the modern bicycle; in so doing, it offers a lament for a way of life that has all but disappeared. Featuring hard road riding and big landscapes, The Snowys will be available on rapha.cc in high definition at the end of next week.

USGA Equipment Lists The United States Golf Association has compiled a list of driving clubs that do not conform and golf balls that do conform. These clubs are prohibited from use in any round of golf conducted under the USGA Rules. This includes competitions conducted by the American Junior Golf Association. They have also added a Conforming Driver Head list.
The AJGA will have an updated list on non-conforming drivers, conforming golf balls and conforming driver heads at the starting tee at all tournament rounds and at the registration table at all qualifiers and shotgun rounds. The AJGA also administers an equipment survey during the first round where each player must acknowledge what type of driver and golf ball they use to an AJGA official. It is recommended that all players check the status of their driver, golf ball and driver head prior to their round. The penalty for playing a shot with equipment not allowed by the USGA is disqualification.
Please visit the links below to make sure your equipment is within USGA standards:

This program helps to fulfill the AJGA's mission of developing young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.
What is Leadership Links?
Leadership Links is a new program whereby the AJGA is able to further its mission to help develop young men and women by teaching charitable giving skills and service-oriented practices at an early age. This program gives juniors all the tools necessary to donate their time, talent and resources to local charities and the AJGA youth development programs.

The Mitchell Home for Homeless Animals has increased its population by one. Jenny hastens to add that it's only temporarily. At least, we hope so.
It's been an Advil week around our house. It all started the weekend before last, while we were walking our dogs around the neighborhood. Jenny was admiring everybody's yards.
The temperature was warm, but not too warm, and a gentle breeze Saturday made for an idyllic setting on the balcony of an apartment overlooking Bankhead Street in downtown New Albany.
The day I turned 16, my parents took me to the driver's license office to take the test. I had studied the book a lot, had practiced driving on country roads, and was confident I would pass. I didn't.
After years of having a little old dog whose only goal in getting on the couch was to curl up and go to sleep, our current situation has taken a little getting used to.
It's the "tweener" season at our house. Yes, I know "tweener" isn't a real word; I knew that even before Microsoft Word put the red line under it on my computer screen.
How many aquariums can one family buy in a week? Unless you've bought three or more, we've got the New Albany record. And we already had two.
It sat on the closet shelf for nearly 50 years. I didn't use it, but because it was something I had when I was growing up, I never wanted to give it away, either.
Maybe I should have worn my navy blazer after all. Jenny had talked me out of it, saying that it really didn't matter what I wore for the photograph.
We watched the big game last weekend. Well, actually I watched the big game. Jenny started out watching it with me, but she kept nodding off. I had to nudge her a few times so she could watch the replays of the most exciting parts.

Some cyclists are vehicular in nature - they want to be treated just like cars on the road. Others are fans of specialized bicycle infrastructure like bike lanes and cycletracks. Many of us employ a combination of these two views to get where we're going safely and quickly. Whatever your opinion on the subject, a new report in the Injury Prevention Journal provides some very interesting data on urban bike paths.
From the Montreal Gazette:
The Montreal-based study, done jointly by researchers from McGill, Harvard and Northeastern universities as well as the Universite de Montreal and Montreal's public health department, was published Wednesday in the Injury Prevention Journal. The study concludes that cycle paths encourage cycling and they lessen, or at least do not increase, crash and injury rates. The construction of cycle paths should not be discouraged in urban areas, the researchers conclude.
I suggest you read the whole article - and the journal article if you're feeling froggy - then hash it out in the comments below.

September 27, 2011 Getting Found through Search Advertising [DMA11]
One of the many ways that companies get themselves noticed online is through search advertising, the method by which online marketers pay to get their ads placed on the search results page of a given search engine, depending on the keyword entered. This is also called paid search and will usually result in a text-only ad appearing on the sidebar of the search engine page.
But where a lot of companies get into trouble with search advertising is in failing to target the right keywords and seeing very little result for their efforts. As with most methods of gaining visibility online, there's a science to search advertising. And there are about as many ideas and opinions on how to find success at it as there are experts on SEO for marketing. So what's a company with a healthy budget to do?
Some might say throw money in all directions and hope that something sticks, but the buckshot approach isn't one that should be taken with any sort of online marketing. Your best bet is to learn from experts and to test drive some web analytic software which will help you arrive at the most effective methods of targeting your audience.
To find both, all you need to do is get yourself to Boston in October for the DMA2011 Conference & Exhibition. This event will feature hundreds of vendors offering services to help hone your online marketing craft, as well as workshops and labs dedicated to a variety of topics on digital marketing – search advertising included. For more information on the classes being offered and the vendors that will be present, visit www.dma11.org and register to attend today.

B.L.O.G Featured Ministry Spotlight: Grace Pregnancy Resource Center
By Myckelle P Williams "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings, and curses….Now choose life, so that you and your children may live!" ~Deuteronomy 13:19 As an 18 year old girl, I was once faced with a painful decision. The choice to abort my second child or to be a struggling mother of two with no education and resources. In my mind, I had no other options. I felt that this child was an inconvenience, and a hindrance to my life and well-being. I share my story in my book, "Choosing The Road Less Traveled: Finding Grace on the Path To Purpose" which details my painful past, and struggles from homeless, pregnant teen, to successful mother and wife. It was not an easy road. But the most impactful moment was when I stood at a fork in the road in my own life, and had to make the ultimate choice…between life and death. We all have similar choices in our own lives. Each choice either takes us closer to the God-Given purpose that we are created for, or further away. As a young girl, I had no idea of the options that are available to me, but felt that my choices were limited. God showed me, however, that even in the midst of my struggles, I can come to know Him. A few facts: Each year, approximately 126,000 Women have a legal abortions in the United States. That is approximately 4,400 per day. 50 million abortions performed since 1973 (Guttmacher Institute, 2011), almost 40% of which are on teenagers. A woman can have a legal abortion for any reason, and 93% are done for social reasons (inconvenience, no money, problems with the father, etc.) And in some states, you can abort up until the 7th month of pregnancy. Many of these women that abort are not fully informed about the risks involved, nor given all the information that is required to make an informed, educated choice. Many times, abortion advocates say that they are protecting a women's right to choose. But interestingly enough, when I walked into an abortion clinic seeking an abortion, I was not only not given all of my options, but I wasn't even voluntarily shown the baby on an ultrasound. Everything was very secretive. Adoption was not mentioned, neither were resources that could help me in my situation. I was only told the price of the abortion, and the risks of the surgery involved. The child within me was simply referred to as the "product of Pregnancy" and I was made to feel that I would be easily 'rid' of a tragic mistake. I believe that is a dis-service to women. In order to make an adequate choice, especially one that is life-altering, there should be a fully informed decision, which involved all of the options available. In any normal surgical procedure, you are shown by a physician the x-ray of your injury, talked to about every option available, and a treatment plan that will assist in healing you. Abortion is one of the only surgeries that is 'hush-hush", with no options offered, the ultrasound is hidden, no long term treatment plan is discussed, or on-going support, and results often in long term feelings of guilt and shame. That in my opinion is not the definition of a 'choice'. However, God gives us choices every day; we have the gift of free will. We can choose life or death, blessings or curses, and sin or sanctification. Our choices are not hidden from us, and in Deuteronomy, He is loving enough to recommend a choice…"Choose life, so that you and your descendants may live" But the ultimate final decision rests on us, along with the consequences of those choices. On the day of my scheduled abortion, I also at the last minute contacted a Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC), and my question to them was at first simply rhetorical and sarcastic, "What can you do for me?" Little did I know those 6 little words would change my life. I originally, like so many women, thought that a Crisis Pregnancy Center was just a place that they give you a few baby items and where radical anti-choice protesters slammed abortion, screaming "Don't kill your baby!" and forcing religion on you. This is what I was told, and therefore formed my opinion before ever visiting one. As a non-Christian growing up, I didn't want any pressure when making my choice, nor did I particularly value my life, nor the life that was growing inside of me. I was surprised that the people at the center were genuine, loving, non-judgmental, and concerned. Not only for my unborn child, but, surprisingly, it seemed as if they cared for ME as well. They discussed all of my options, and asked me what I needed help with in order to get on my feet and be a good mother to my son. They even offered parenting classes, and explained to me the various risks of abortions, which I previously believed was totally safe, since becoming legal in 1973. I had no idea that women die each year from complications from "safe" abortions, including hemorrhaging, infection, and blood clots…over 400 deaths in the U.S. since abortion became legal. These are things that are never even discussed in the media. I also was unaware that in certain states the abortion clinics are not required to be licensed, and therefore are not being regulated as they should to protect women's health. The CPC made it clear that they also respected any choice I was to make, telling me that in the event that I did choose abortion, they would assist me through the healing process, even offering post-abortion counseling and support. I also indicated my need to have a place to stay with myself and my son, who was 17 months at the time. Within two weeks I was placed in a home with a family who assisted me with my needs, from getting adequate medical care, to learning to drive. This family also became my second set of parents, and listened to my problems, loved on me, and taught me about the Love of God. I'd never felt such love and encouragement, and I felt confident in my decision to choose life. Before the end of my pregnancy, I was born-again, baptized, and planning my wedding. The family that I lived with assisted in the delivery of my daughter, and watched me walk down the aisle two weeks later, beaming with love and pride. A chance experience with a Crisis Pregnancy Center changed my life forever. There are hundreds of these CPC's in almost every city across America. Grace Pregnancy Center, was founded in 2006 and is located in Nashville, Tennessee. The mission of Grace is to provide support and information about pregnancy options to women experiencing crisis pregnancies. Its director is Sandy Neison has been director for approximately one year. In the Nashville community, Grace Pregnancy Resource Center has assisted over 2,000 clients, first time and ongoing. These woman are of childbearing age, with diverse ethnicities and backgrounds, from Tennessee and surrounding states. Sandy is optimistic about the work being done at Grace Center, but also faces struggles as the new director. Because Grace is located next door to an unlicensed Abortion clinic, women walk into Grace mistakenly almost every day seeking abortions. The abortion clinic seeks to shut down Grace center because they feel that Grace is interfering with abortion profits. Grace neither offers or refers these women for abortion, but will counsel them in making an informed choice. CPC's generally believe that no one should be forced to choose between their preborn baby and their future, empowers life-affirming choices by providing accurate information in a compassionate environment. Grace provides resources that will not only help the baby, but provide support to the WHOLE woman, assisting her throughout her pregnancy and beyond with her physical, spiritual, and emotional needs. For physical needs: They provide free pregnancy testing, community resources, such as medical referrals, information on local health departments, Doctor referrals, Medicaid application assistance, .and school and employment referrals for those women who need a job while pregnant. STD testing information, and information on Domestic Violence Shelters, Maternity Homes, Food Banks, Utility Assistance, and local Housing assistance. To assist with information about the pregnancy, they provide free on-site ultrasounds (that the client is able to view), and abortion and adoption information. If the woman is tested discovered not to be pregnant, they offer Abstinence education and family planning information. If the woman decides to continue the pregnancy, there are baby stores with items such as diapers, wipes, bottles and clothing for mom and baby, usually up to age 2 For emotional needs; CPC's assist with classes and offer free counseling for both parents. There is both pre- and post- abortion counseling, and support groups, as well as pre-marital counseling, and couples counseling to assist the father as well with his emotional needs. They also provide on-site mentors that you can meet with anytime to assist with any emotional support that may be needed on an ongoing basis. If a woman has had an abortion in the past, and is suffering from Post Abortion Syndrome, there is counseling available and support groups of women who have experienced her pain as well. For Spiritual Needs: Crisis Pregnancy Centers provide Church referrals, ministry assistance, Spiritual guidance and mentors who will pray with and for you daily. Unfortunately, despite the tremendous impact that Pregnancy Centers have on women in the community, many of these pregnancy centers as shutting down due to lack of funding and community support. Many times, simply because people are unaware of what they do in the community and the support that they provide women in crisis situations. Says Sandy, " Fundraising has been a challenge recently because we have been understaffed and focused on meeting the needs of our clients." They also are not eligible for government funding because they are faith-based organizations and would be restricted from ministering Christ to their clients. While most Planned Parenthood Organizations (The largest abortion Providers) gross approximately $30 million dollars per year towards their goals of assisting women with abortion, Crisis pregnancy Centers are lucky to gross $50,000 per year. In fact, Grace Center is usually in the red (negative) by $10,000 at the end of each financial year. Sandy points out that Grace has a need for funding, resources, and volunteers. Needs include baby items and furniture no longer needed, maternity items and clothing, and volunteers are needed to assist with filing, handling calls, and sorting baby items that are donated, and even mentoring, for which training is provided. Other ways to assist your local CPC include being a translator for women who don't speak English, Hosting a baby shower/diaper drive in your community, and offering your skills and talents to your local center, such as pedicures for expectant moms, or leading a class that may empower the clients. If you would like to donate to Grace Pregnancy Center, Please visit their donor site at http://www.partnersofgrace.com/ To volunteer, individuals can come to Grace Pregnancy Resource Center at 409 Welshwood Drive in Nashville, TN 37211, or call and leave a voicemail message if necessary. The phone number is 615.331.8958 To find a local pregnancy center in your area, visit: http://pregnancydecisionline.org/get-help/ Today, because of what a local pregnancy center did in my own life, I am now a wife, mother, mentor, speaker, and author, assist other women who were once in my position of helplessness and hopelessness, letting them know that despite what it looks like today, His Grace is truly sufficient! Take time to research and get involved with the crisis center in your own area, and allow your tests to become your testimony. You can make a difference! With Grace Myckelle P. Williams CEO, B.L.O.G.

Confessions of a Duke fan
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011I have a confession to make.
I don't hate Duke.
In fact, I used to love Duke.
I know. I know. College basketball fans — especially those Arizona Wildcat fans who know the history of the series between the programs and who are hyper-tuned to the frequency of East Coast Bias — are supposed to despise the big, bad Dookies.
It's like hating the Dallas Cowboys (I do) or the Los Angeles Lakers (I really do) or the New York Yankees (I really, really do).
But Duke? I kind of feel like I was there from the beginning with Mike Krzyzewski.
Let me explain.

"Peace be to me, the holy Son of God.
Peace to my brother, who is one with me.
Let all the world be blessed with peace through us."
See complete instructions in separate document.
A short summary:
* Read the commentary paragraph slowly and personally.
* Pray the prayer, perhaps several times.
* Morning and evening: Repeat the idea and then spend time in Open Mind
* Hourly remembrance: Repeat the idea and then spend a quiet moment in
* Frequent reminders: Repeat the idea often within each hour.
* Response to temptation: Repeat the idea whenever upset, to restore peace.
* Read the "What Is" section slowly and thoughtfully once during the day.
This is for all practical purposes the last "regular" lesson of the
Workbook. The last five days of the year will be spent on a single lesson,
which gives us an idea of how every day can be spent by a Course "graduate,"
if we can use that term. This final lesson, then, sums up and concludes the
practice of the Workbook.
Peace be to me; peace be to my brother; peace be to all the world through
us. That is one way of summarizing what the Course is all about: finding
peace within ourselves, sharing that peace with another, and together
sharing it with all the world. Finding it within ourselves is the basis.
Sharing it with another confirms it within us, and the relationship gives us
a microcosm in which to learn to extend that peace. Having learned to share
together, we then extend the peace to all the world.
Father, it is Your peace that I would give, receiving
it of you. (1:1)
The peace we receive and give is God's peace. It is the peace that comes of
knowing we are God's creation: "In holiness were we created, and in holiness
do we remain" (1:5). "I am Your Son, forever just as You created me, for the
Great Rays remain forever still and undisturbed within me" (1:2). Nothing
God placed in me in creation has been lost. God, eternally at peace,
extended Himself to create me, and His peace extended into me and included
me in its stillness. That stillness always exists. There is a place in you,
and in me, that is at perfect peace always. We can find that peace at any
instant we choose to do so. To find it all we need do is to be still, to
stop our interference. The peace is always there.
I would reach to them [the Great Rays] in silence and
in certainty, for nowhere else can certainty be found.
Peace be to me, and peace to all the world. (1:3-4)
This morning, close your eyes for a time-for as long as it takes. Let the
thoughts that have been occupying your mind just float away, detached. Do
not push them away; do not hold on to them. Just let them go, and try to
become aware of that place within yourself that is always at peace. Do not
strive to find it; let it find you. Simply be still. Simply make yourself
receptive to the peace and it will appear, because it is always there. Sit
in silence. If a noise comes to your attention, don't let your mind "stick"
to it. You have no other purpose than to be still. You have no other goal
right now but to say, "Peace be to me."
And when you touch that peace, or when it touches you, however briefly, let
yourself add, "and peace to all the world." Gently wish that peace for all
your brothers and sisters. That is all we are here for. That is all that
really needs to be done. It will be enough.
Your Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness. And with
this thought we gladly say "Amen." (1:6-7)
The thought of perfect sinlessness brings the Course to its conclusion; that
is its goal.
But the content of the course never changes. Its central
theme is always, "God's Son is guiltless, and in his
innocence is his salvation." (M-1.3:4-5)
When I have accepted my own perfect sinlessness, and have extended that
thought to include the entire world, salvation is accomplished. To do so is
to perfectly forgive all things. Sinlessness and peace go together. Only the
sinless can be at peace; only the peaceful are sinless. The message of the
Course is one of radical innocence. All are innocent, and no one must be
condemned for others to be free.
Part 10: W-pII.14.5:3-5
Our function here is to "bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought
he suffered" (5:3). The Son of God who thought he suffered is you, me, and
everyone who comes into our life. What a wonderful calling! To announce, as
the prophet Isaiah said in the Old Testament:
...to preach good tidings unto the meek; ...to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the
opening of the prison to [them that are] bound; ...to
comfort all that mourn; ...to give unto them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness. (Is 61:1-3)
This season of Christmas is said in the Gospels to be a time of "great
joy...to all people" (Lk 2:10). In the Course we have a continuation of that
message, and we are its heralds. We can announce, "Now is [the Son of God]
redeemed" (5:4). The way is open for every one of us to find our way home,
and to know first our perfect forgiveness, and then the immensity of God's
And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him,
he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God.
As these "glad tidings" are received, we will all, in the end, enter in
through the heavenly gates, symbolic of entering into the awareness of
perfect Oneness. In that Oneness we will disappear into the Heart of God.
That word "disappear" does not, in any sense, mean that we shall cease to
exist, or that we will be absorbed and somehow blotted out by the
absorption. It is just that all sense of difference and separateness will be
gone, along with all desire for it. We will disappear in the Oneness, but we
will be in that Oneness, profoundly a part of it, radiantly fulfilling our
function, shining forever in the eternal glory of God.

(Please note: To save space, I just put everything under Hiders. That way you can find what you need faster]
Once Upon A Time........
There were three kingdoms that lived in peace and prosperity, ruled over by their own king's.
Above these 3 kingdoms was a 4th kingdom, ruled by just one person.
She was a prosperous and righteous person, who would do everything in her power to find peace for the three kingdoms.
They would go to her seeking guidance where they could find none, and she would guide them to where they needed to go.
Until she, and the 4th kingdom, disappeared.
It was said that one of the Three Kingdoms had her, and was keeping Her for themselves.
Hiding her somewhere within their kingdom.
Fingers would be pointed, attacks and searches would be made.
The three kingdoms fell apart, and war started raging on.
Years after the beginning of the Three Kingdom War, the W.A.R. was created.
This group was put in charge of creating arena's for the war to happen in........
No one really knows how the story started, but they do know it continues on, it is known as the never ending story. A story, that has thousands of endings, based on choices made. The choices made at the beginning of this story, must not be repeated, or doom shall fall. But what are these choices that the ancestors made? No one in the Three Kingdoms know. It's said that the story is told in the Forth Kingdom, but it's not that simple, as for the Forth Kingdom is said not to exist, it is but a rumor now, a rumor told over camp fires, and in small groups. A ghost story as some would put it. Even a dream place many people would love to go to...
And so this is where your story begins.
A war rages in between the Three Kingdoms. A never ending war, that no one remembers how it started. A war that is said to bring peace to the coming year.
Except this isn't a simple war. No, these kingdoms live at peace, somewhat, during the year when they are no in the arena. But once a year, during a whole month, there is the War. The War is named so for the group that was created to make sure the War ran smoothly. A small group is chosen from each kingdom, and sent to an arena each week to fight. The arena's are different each time, with different objectives.
Each Kingdom picks a leader of the group once a year. The leader picks who is in the group based on their own strategy, and trains the group as a whole. At the end of the year, the real fun starts, and the War begins. Everyone travels to the Central Kingdom. The kingdom that hosts the War, a neutral Kingdom that was special created just for this. The Kingdom (Better known as W.A.R.) is mainly full of architects and builders to build the arenas. Only the heads of the building teams know what the whole design is, as for the teams are only assigned little sections.
And so it begins. What will you choose?
Alright and here comes the fun. It's time for you to choose which side you are on.
The Elf kingdom provides great power, for they live within the forest that surrounds all the other kingdoms. They live with the trees, and move within and on the trees. They provide art, and beauty along with natural elements. A lot of the time, the Elf's will speak in their own language, or are seen tending to the forest and the animals. They are also usually seen defending it from anyone that wishes harm on it. Their main weapons are bows and arrows, staffs and spears. They usually would rather have long range weapons then close combat.
The Magic user's are their own group. They excel in using magic for everything they do. They make potions for healing, and possibly to kill and poison. Each person excels in only one area of magic their whole life. So at a young age, their magic is tested and they are split up from the others in their age group, and are sent to classes that match what their magic allows them to do.
Extra: (Anything I didn't touch up top that you wanted to add)
The Human kingdom is like the Elf kingdom, except they don't work with nature. Instead they work more with mechanisms, creating new and advanced (for the time period) weapons and armor. The Human kingdom is farther along then the other two kingdoms, but even so, they lack in many places. People are always getting sick. The rulers are always doing something (invading the citizens houses, attacking innocent, etc.), for personal reason's, or to strike fear in the people so they don't rally against them. But when in the military for the Human Kingdom, they are above all the other citizens. Only those in the military (said by the King's) are allowed to join in the War. Whether they are of a lower rank, or a high rank. They are to work together, and only they can win.

My cs's
Name: Rose Sayura
Age: 22
Personality: Rose is quiet, and shy. But very outgoing and will speak her mind at times. She watches and plans, but when her emotion's take over she is impulsive.
Race: "Elf"
History: She doesn't remember much from her past. She just remembers waking up in a room 4 years ago in a Elf kingom room, and a man taking care of her. It took her a while to get back on her feet, and able to get back to life. Ever since she woke up, she's been living in this mans home, and training. Always training, for the day she has to go to war. The man she lives with, Adrian, is the leader of the Elf group that goes to the Circle this year. She's grateful to know him, yet sad that he has to go to war. She would give her life to protect this man, and make sure he doesn't die at anyone's hand. She owes him for everything he's done for her. She doesn't look like all the other Elf's. For she doesn't have the pointed ears, but she has been taken in, and cared for by the others. And assured that she was one of them, that ever since she was a child she had been a "special case", that her ears had never grown in, but she was always born an elf.
Strength, above average, but not by much.
(The rest of these will come in story)
Hand to hand combat
Swordsman ship
House chores (cleaning, sewing, cooking, tending, etc.)
It is nicknamed as such for obvious reasons. The sheath matches the sword
(Just the bow) The roses on the bow are closed when she is not using it, they open, creating a string for her to use. The arrows are regular arrows, but with special roses at the end that she crafted to be as affective as feathers.
Other: She is always seen with two wolves, Husk said she was found with them cuddled against her, and protecting her. They refuse to leave her side.
Name: Adrian Sayura
Age: 23
Personality: Adrian is a quiet guy, always watchfull of what goes on around Rose, makeing sure she was always safe. He's outgoing and open when times go on, but he just watches. He's strong, and doesn't show it off. He also has an impulsive side, but he is able to hide it more.
Race: Elf
History: Adrian has lived an Elf life, his family are elves. Infact they are the rulers of the elf kingdom. His father known as the "elder" (In other terms the King), and his mother as his Advicer (in human terms, the Queen). Adrian would be known as the Prince of the Elf Kingdom. But he doesn't like the title. Instead he left his parent's home, and he found a new place on the outside of the kingdom. One day he was on a walk, he found a lady lieing on the ground, with two wolves. The wolves being very protective jumped up in a hurry to protect her, but calmed down as he got closer. Adrian carried her back, craddled in his arms, to his home. Where he waited until she woke up. When she did wake up, she was confused about everything. When Adrian questioned her, she didn't know anything. Not even her own name. A few days after she had awoken, she had wandered outside to his garden. Where she sat infront of a rose bush and tended the roses. He wandered outside and sat next to her. That was when he gave her the name Rose, for her love of roses. 4 years after that day, they still live together, training. He would give his life up for her now. Still protecting. The people in his kingdom have accepted her, and he's greatful for it. His life has changed alot since he had met her. And now they plan to fight together in the War Circle.
Desicion making process, can make plans faster in tight situations
Strength, he's trained all his life, so he has lots of strength
Being an elf his hearing is above average.
Swordsman ship.
He can cook and build shelter when him and Rose go to the forest for days on end
Can hunt.
He fights with a sword, and bow and arrow (Their in the picture I wish I could find better pics of them)
Other: Nothing else, unless I come up with something in the story.
