Lovely Lakeland: Relationship between Tigers, spring training city longest in MLBWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Down in Lakeland, Fla., the boys of summer actually start arriving prior to the onset of spring and have been doing so since 1934.
Save for three seasons during World War II, when the team played its spring ball in Evansville, Ind., Lakeland has been the spring training home for the Detroit Tigers, a relationship that's in its 76th season, the longest between a major league team and a spring training city.
Tigers fans from across the country flock to Tiger Town each spring to take in the historic atmosphere surrounding Joker Marchant Stadium.
"Every day, you come across people that this has been something they've wanted to do their whole life is come to Joker Marchant Stadium and see a game, or come to Tiger Town and just see it," said Ron Myers, the Tigers' director of Lakeland operations, who started as an intern with the organization in 1981.
"The exciting part is to see how many people know about this place, and it's always been on their list of things to do. Once they see it, they feel it, they experience it, you can see the smile on their face, and I think any time I see that, it just makes you feel pretty special."
'Smokeless factory'
In Lakeland, the Tigers represent more than just a professional baseball team to check out each spring. Since Detroit first started playing spring ball at Henley Field in 1934, the organization has became a fixture in the community.
"We're a smokeless factory in the community," Myers said. "And our job is to produce major league players."
"The real magic, I think, to the Lakeland and Detroit relationship has been the longevity," said Bill Tinsley, who serves as liaison to the Tigers and is manager of community resources development for the City of Lakeland. "Jim Campbell as the [former] president and CEO for the organization had a great relationship with the parks and recreation department and other city officials."
Tinsley has worked for the City of Lakeland since 1971 and became the city's parks and recreation director in 1993 prior to his current position. With more than 40 years of experience, he has seen the relationship between Lakeland and the Tigers grow into what it is today.
"The Tigers have been engaged in the community since their inception here, or their first arrival here, back in the days when they came in on a train," Tinsley said. "The Chamber of Commerce and the city have recognized their value to the community and the contributions here. They used to meet them at the train and carry their bags to the hotel downtown that they stayed in back in the early years."
As times have changed and baseball has evolved over the last century, so has Detroit's relationship with Lakeland. What used to be an eight-week spring training process is now a yearlong courtship between the city and the Tigers.
"Now, 12 months out of the year the Tigers have a presence in the community with operations and activities that are going on," Tinsley said. "They're engaged, and the facility operates as a great sports revenue source. We call it our 'smokeless factory,' if you will, in that there is a tourism element that is 12 months out of the year with teams coming in and everything from college to high school to amateur sports, pro sports and activities that are going on that the Tigers are playing host to."
Mutual respect
The common thread between Lakeland and the Tigers in their 76 seasons together is a mutual respect for the other.
"It's just something that if we all walked in the same room together, if nobody had a logo on, you wouldn't know who worked for the City of Lakeland or the Detroit Tigers," Myers said. "It's an all for one, one for all. It's a relationship that's very hard to describe because it's so good."
For Tinsley, that level of respect for the Detroit organization has come from the way the Tigers front office has treated city officials.
"They have always treated us — Dave Dombrowski, Al [Avila] — these are folks that treat us as partners and equals, not as in service to them," Tinsley said. "There is a reasonableness that's brought to our relationship, an understanding of the economics that we have."
According to Tinsley, the nature of that economic situation is that all the facilities in the state of Florida are managed, run and owned by either municipal or county government, except for Disney. The Tigers, he said, have brought a give-and-take nature to their relationship with Lakeland and stay true to their word.
"If you're looking for what really is the key to the sustainability of an organization, it's having excellent business people that whatever they say, you can take it to the bank," Tinsley said. "And that's the open, honest relationship we've had from the Tiger organization, from the owner down to the people in the front office."
That mutual respect at the top has had a trickle-down effect to the many players Myers and Tinsley have seen over the years, including Toledo's 2011 Pitcher of the Year Duane Below.
"From here in Lakeland to every level, everybody's been great," Below told Toledo Free Press from Lakeland, where he was spring training with the Tigers.
A native of Britton, Mich., Below was drafted by Detroit in 2006 and has worked his way up the ranks of the organization, from Single-A ball to competing for a spot in the rotation with the Tigers.
"They want you to succeed," Below said. "They help you in any way they can, and I think that goes a long way to say for (Michael) Ilitch (owner of the Detroit Tigers) in hiring the staff that he has."
Lakeland has been such a special place that several Detroit players either keep a residence there or call it home, including star pitcher Justin Verlander.
"These guys learn to love this city because quality of life has always been important in our city," Tinsley said. "No small part is the contribution that's made by the Tigers' residence here."
The early years
Since the time Clare "Doc" Henley and the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce approached the Tigers in 1933 about making the city their spring training destination, making the Detroit organization and its players feel at home has been a priority for the city and its parks and recreation department, which maintains the Tiger Town facilities.
"Our parks and recreation department, we're so proud of them," Tinsley said. "They do have almost a sinful pride in the complex, in its history. I don't think you can plan well without taking a good look back."
Detroit's early years in Lakeland were spent at Henley Field, a 1,000-seat ballpark that saw the likes of Al Kaline, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams in its heyday. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 and is still used by Florida Southern College and Lakeland High School.
In 1966, the Tigers began playing at their current spring training home, Joker Marchant Stadium, named after Lakeland's former Parks and Recreation Director Marcus Thigpen Marchant, who went by "Joker" and played a vital role in making sure Detroit was taken care of in Lakeland.
With an original seating capacity of 4,900, Joker Marchant Stadium has undergone several expansion and renovation projects to bring the ballpark up to date. Including the estimated 1,000 lawn seats on the berm, the stadium now has an approximate capacity of 9,000.
"The city has just been great in bending over backwards to make sure that our facilities don't take a backseat to anybody even though our age is a lot more than some of the newer complexes being built," Myers said.
Among the criteria discussed when considering any upgrades to Joker Marchant Stadium and Tiger Town are player development and fan enhancement, the latter of which was brought to the table by Tigers' President and General Manager Dave Dombrowski, Tinsley said.
"Our leadership has been able to focus on the big picture and view and recognize that $35 to $40 million of economic impact — our stimulus that comes from having a major league team spring train in your city — are real dollars that are vested into your community," Tinsley said.
Development of Tiger Town started in the 1950s at the location where the Lodwick School of Aeronautics and Lakeland Municipal Airport once stood.
Sprawled over 85 acres and home to both the Tigers and their Class-A advanced affiliate, the Lakeland Flying Tigers, Tiger Town features a three-story dormitory, cafeteria, recreation hall and administrative building, making it both a historically unique and comfortable facility for players to train.
"The city officials, the city manager Doug Thomas, going all the way back throughout the years, the city has been a great supporter of ours," Myers said. "They understand what a great relationship this is, along with the county. So we have a city, the county, that are these great backers of our organization. It's just been a great relationship all the way around."
Keeping it going
Neither party sees an end to the historic relationship between Lakeland and the Tigers in the foreseeable future.
"I was not in every discussion that's taken place over the 76 years, but I can tell you the relationship between the Detroit Tigers and the City of Lakeland and Polk County would be hard to be replaced," Myers said.
The team's current contract with Lakeland expires in 2016, but Tinsley said he doesn't think anybody on either side wants the relationship broken.
"The way that you do that and keep that from happening is keep surprises out of the relationship," Tinsley said. "Open, honest communication exists, and then future planning to anticipate needs before they become emergency needs that can't be taken care of. So we're always looking at 'How are we going to improve ourselves and make ourselves better and stay on top?'"
Not to mention he and Myers have had a lot of fun at their respective jobs over the years.
Myers, who grew up in Michigan with a college baseball coach for a father, has had baseball in his blood since he was a bat boy for his dad as a child. He has cherished the opportunity to work with the many players he's seen over the years, including Verlander, Below, the longest-tenured Tiger in fan favorite Brandon Inge and Michigan native John Smoltz.
"There's too many to name," Myers said of memories created over the years. "Every day, I consider it a blessing. I've had a great career. I enjoy what I do. I mean, I could go for days as far as [memories go], and I'd leave one out and that would probably be better than the next one. I'm very grateful, and I'm very lucky to have the position that I have."
Tinsley, meanwhile, has formed friendships with many Tigers over the years and has taken great pride in showing them what Florida has to offer, from fishing and wild hog hunting to catching an alligator with Bo Schembechler's son.
"I will tell you I love the people that I've met and have learned to appreciate that although they are big celebrities on the national front, many of these folks one-on-one, they're good people," Tinsley said. "I've just met so many quality people through that relationship that it's just been a gift to me.
"I hit the job lotto 42 years ago."

Floor Polisher Parts
If you have wooden floors then it is mandatory that you invest in a good floor polisher. Though the wooden floors give the rooms a warm and golden tone, taking care of them can be tricky if you're not very careful. Wooden floors can be easily scratched, excess moisture and chemicals can damage the wood. Here we look at how to use a floor polisher on a wooden floor.
How to use Floor Polisher on Wooden Floors
•Clean the floor with a soft brushed broom or a vacuum cleaner before using the floor polisher.
•Ensure that the pad of the floor polisher is clean and sparkling. Buff the floor with the pad from one corner to another until the entire room is covered.
•You can either use a floor wax or make a all natural floor polish at home. In a double boiler heat 2 cups of mineral oil and 1 tbsp beeswax. Once they are melted drizzle the mixture evenly over the floor.
•Slide a new pad into the floor polisher. Slowly move the floor polisher from the back of the room to the front in gentle motions. The slow and gentle motion of the floor polisher over the polish will bring a glow and sparkle to the floor.
If you are planning to invest in a good floor polisher look no further than GoVacuum.com. Here we deal with only the top most brands such as Bissell, Bosch, Carpet, Dyson and so on.

I like to encourage people to study all they can from a variety of sources, but seriously, I think you are taking in too much & are scattered all over the place.
Focus on serving Jesus & helping people.
...when we are all glorified in Christ, we will glimpse what He suffered on our behalf and that may well be the only HellFire we need to experience.
Hi Friar Ted,We do appreciate your concern with all of our hearts. Quote from: friarted on May 16, 2008, 10:58:23 AMI like to encourage people to study all they can from a variety of sources, but seriously, I think you are taking in too much & are scattered all over the place.Everyone here is a servant to all of mankind and to all of Creation as well. We follow our Lord where ever He goes.
wow, this is great responce from everyone. Ok i think we are really hitting the nail right in the head. Let me continue on, asking some more questions:* Sin, what is sin? where does it come from? and how is it generated?* What about the serpent in the garden of eden?* what about revelations, the rapture of the church, and the second coming?* Why did God choose Israel to deal with in the OT times?thanks everyone
I know that God loves me, and i love Him, I know he has forgiven me of my sins and that when i see Him again he will embrace me in his arms forever. But when i see this world I see so much wickeness, evil, rappist, genocide, all this things that are allowed to progress, I ask myself, there most be payment for that, these pigs that are doing this things to humanity must receive retribution and judgement of God! they must, how else will they ever be served justice! the governments wont do anything about it, if anything, they are part of it!
* Sin, what is sin? where does it come from? and how is it generated?* What about the serpent in the garden of eden?* what about revelations, the rapture of the church, and the second coming?* Why did God choose Israel to deal with in the OT times?thanks everyone
ok! first of all, I want to thank tentmaker for bringing all of this subject up. As of course most the folks in here, I was at one point or another in the traditional way of thinking about salvation and hell. Now I do not fully embrasse the theology of universalism and neither do i fully embrase the traditional teachings of the church. At this very moment I am extremely confused because tentmaker proclaims that there is no such thing as Hell. And has much evidence to proof the case, in which i said: "ohh ok, great, what's next?" But then they post an audio conversation of the Stetson vs Strange Debate. Which I believe tentmaker supports Mr. Stetson, which is fine, but Mr. Stetson explains and shows strong evidence of evangelism in Hell, and that Hell is a real place.So my question is, what is going on?My experiences so far have taken me to see demon possesed persons, both me and my family have encountered many occasions where we were faced with visual demonic presence, and no we were not on drugs or drunk or had bad pizza the night before, what i have experienced, i have experienced and there is not one person in this world that can convince me otherwise.I am just trying to be honest and giving you my prespective on all of this, here are some questions that you may find interesting that i have come up with from both sides of the hall:* Why does the bible say: with out holiness no man shall see the Lord?* Where is satan and his demons?* Where are the fallen angels?* What about the scientists that found hell in the center of the earth? with sound and everything, they even said that they are still atheist but yet believe in hell?* What about the book "the divine revelation of hell"?* What about the belief that if you believe in heaven then you must also believe in hell?* What about the book "Talmud Immanuel: The Original Book of Matthew"?* What about "www.zeitgeistmovie.com"?* And last but not least, why doesn't God just wipe us all to Hell and save us all there?
Wow Guys, this is really great, thank you so much, as i continue to pray and ask the Lord to guide me into His truth, I have begun to feel a weight being lifted off my chest.
I ask the lord to show me His truth, I dont care anymore for the teachings of the traditional church, all I want is Him, and Him alone. I also want to thank everyone that has taken the time to post so much to help me understand. God bless everyone, I hope to meet all of you one day!

CPT allows you, as an F-1 student, to accept paid, off-campus employment that is an integral part of the curriculum of your degree program. CPT employment must be directly related to your major area of study.
CPT is divided into two categories:
Internship: the employment is a mandatory part of a course that you are taking for degree credit. The course may be an elective, but the credit must count toward your degree.
Practicum: this is a non-credit employment or fieldwork experience that your department requires of all degree candidates in your program.
CPT is available only if one of these categories is included in the curriculum of your degree program. Because every program has different academic requirements, not every student at NYU will be able to take advantage of CPT.
In order to qualify for CPT, you must meet the following criteria
Download an OGS F-1 Curricular Practical Training Request Form. Complete the top half of the form and have the bottom half completed by your academic advisor, dean, department chair, or program coordinator. Your department must endorse your request for CPT by signing and completing the form; confirming:
Drop off your completed OGS F-1 Curricular Practical Training Request Form along with the following documents at least 10 business days prior to the anticipated start date of your internship or practicum during office hours, Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
If eligible, the OGS will authorize you to engage in CPT by issuing an updated I-20. You may not begin employment until you have received your updated I-20.
Once you receive your authorization for CPT, you must apply for a Social Security number if you don't already have one. You must have a Social Security number before you can be paid.
CPT is typically done on a part-time (up to 20 hours per week) basis during the school year and on a full-time basis during vacation periods. Exceptions may apply for graduate students depending on the structure of the individual student's curriculum.
You may not begin CPT without prior authorization from the OGS. Retroactive authorization is not possible.
If your program does not have an internship option or fieldwork requirement, you are not eligible for CPT. Please read our instructions on Optional Practical Training (OPT) instead.
Note that if you work over 12 months of full-time CPT, you will forfeit all OPT.

Martini Rox: My Music Is Major Experience boosts young creative mindsWritten by Martini Rox | | email@example.com
My Music Is Major (M3) has evolved. M3's scholarship in honor of a Toledo music legend, the late Charles W. McDaniels, is under the umbrella of the Jeremy Lincoln Foundation and was founded by McDaniels' grand-daughter, Jelise Roberts. In 2011, Roberts founded the My Music Is Major Experience and under her direction the foundation has done exactly what it promised by evolving into a community event celebrating Toledo's creative youth. From 4-6 p.m. April 27 at 136 Water St. in The Fort Industry Square Building Downtown Toledo, M3 will host its annual My Music Is Major Experience.
I was invited to preview the space and design for the event and was impressed by the artistic diversity planned. This event will feature the artwork of accomplished area artist Yusuf Lateef with live performances by Tahyah's Dance Studio, student work and performances from TPS students, The Toledo School for the Arts, F.A.M.E.D. Studios, W.A.L.L. Music Group, and more. There will be plenty of opportunities to connect and network with major area talent. Sponsors will be set up around the venue and information on how you can get involved in the M3 Experience next year will be provided. The foundation's goals include uplifting and empowering youth by showcasing their artistic talents and preparing them for the future.
Additional goals for M3 include building a bridge between established and young aspiring artists and raising money for its scholarship fund. There have been challenges facing the foundation such as its founder having to operate between Columbus and Toledo. Major support is provided by the foundation's board consisting of friends and family with musical and artistic interests in the youth around the city. The board has worked to build participation through sponsorship and community talent involvement, which has contributed to impressive turnouts for the past two years.
This year I will host the event and participate as an artist, contributing one of my jewelry pieces in the silent auction. Every artist showcased at the event will contribute proceeds from sales to the Charles W. McDaniels Scholarship. This event is open to the public, $10 admission for adults and $5 for students. I spoke with Roberts about M3.
Martini Rox: What are your future goals for My Music Is Major Experience?
Jelise Roberts: In the future My Music is Major would like to branch more into the schools and work with local organizations to help them with the music department. We are in the process of building a list of professionals and organizations where young musicians and artists can get lessons and mentoring. We are also looking to partner with organizations to help provide instruments to students.
Rox: How can people who want to help encourage young artists get involved and help?
Roberts: My Music is Major needs the support of the community. Our annual fundraiser not only gives our youth a platform to showcase their creative abilities, but it also raises money for scholarships and to help provide them with the tools they need to enhance their creative abilities. We are asking everyone to help our youth's creative voices be heard by going to www.mymusicismajor.org and making a donation.
Or, if you are an artist or musician we are asking that you contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and give us your information so that you can become a mentor or give lessons. All it takes is for someone to believe in our youth and let them know that they can, and to nurture their gifts.
We want to bridge the gap between the seasoned creatives and our young creatives.
Join the M3 movement and help creative voices be heard!
As We Continue On …

Also, make no mistake about it, DonationCoder talked me into Directory Opus. There's no way I would have bought DO without DC. I hope GPsoft takes this into account and gives us another nice discount!
I agree. Without Donationcoder, I wouldn't even have tried DOpus.
I'm (actually was) a Norton Commander addict. Goes back to don't know when and I was so used to the many shorcuts F5, F6, F8, Alt commands etc and each time I tried to switch to some of the many other Two-Pane File Managers, each time, I found myself fumbling over their "new" routine commands. It was these routine commands that were so hard for me to get over simply because they were second nature to me as you tend to use them so often.
This issue seriously stumbled me and prevented me from exploring the many other useful features (no doubt) that other two pane file managers had.
I had come across DOpus somewhere along the way. But perhaps the price did look intimidating to me compared to the "rest". And I never got beyond that initially.
But in hindsight, it's the question of my initial perceived value (that's really a marketing issue DOpus has to deal with for people like me who started off using other File Managers).
But I only become a convert after reading through the Donationcoder forum and having used it for several months now, I will say that one of the best things about DOpus is the tremendous customizability.
But what good is this if you cannot figure it out and this is where the http://resource.dopus.com/ forum comes in.
There were quite a few times when I could not figure out how to do something, a quick search there would give me the answer or a question posted there would give me an answer by one of the expert residents in minutes if not hours. There are very responsive and come out with the right answers as well.
This allowed me to overcome my "second nature" problem. I simply duplicated the Norton Commander command set in DOpus (simply by reading their forums and posting questions there and Nudel was one of those who replied amongst many others including the author of DOpus).
After that I was off to explore all the other many useful features, such as those that allowed me to integrate DOpus with say Beyond Compare, Double Killer or any programs that accepted command line arguments).
Please note I post there under a different Forum name.

COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County Circuit Court Judge James Heuer told a man suspected of child molesting he would have to quit dragging his feet and face trial.
"This case will be tried on the court's schedule, not on yours," said Heuer to Ronald A. Rostochak in court Feb. 22.
Rostochak has been awaiting trial for child molesting, a Class A felony and sexual misconduct with a minor, a Class B felony, since late 2009.
Since then, the court has granted Rostochak several continuances for pre-trial conferences and trials and Rostochak himself has been represented by five different attorneys.
In court Feb. 22, Heuer set the trial date for June 7. The prosecution was represented by D.J. Sigler.
Heuer asked Sigler if the state had any comments and Sigler replied "I have a multitude of things to say, your honor, but will reserve them for the trial."
Rostochak is accused of having sex with a girl younger than 14 years old between September and December of 2007.
A warrant was issued for his arrest Nov. 25, 2009.
His first attorney was Jeff Arnold. Travis Friend took over the case and the defendant was scheduled for trial July 13, 2010.
The jury trial was reset for Oct. 26, 2010 and on Oct. 15, Robert E. Love filed his appearance as Rostochak's attorney.
Love withdrew on Feb. 16 and Rostochak was assigned public defender Anthony Churchward on Feb. 22.
Churchward was replaced by Richard J. Thornert on Feb. 24.

McFarlane Toys Announces Second Series Of 'Halo 4' Action Figures!
Start Planning Your Universe Before These Toys Invade Stores In August!
Thursday, August 02, 2012
McFarlane Toys will be ringing in the New Year with its second series of action figures based on the highly-anticipated video game, Halo 4, created by Microsoft Studios & 343 Industries. Just like with Halo 4 Series 1 (Now Available), the second series will continue to bring all-new, never-before-seen characters, weapons, and accessories from Halo 4!
Now let's quit all this bejabbering and get to the lineup!
Our latest action figure of John-117, the Master Chief, features an all-new weapon, debuting for the first time in Halo 4: the Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920; better known as the Railgun. The ARC-920 Railgun is a compact-channel linear accelerator that fires a high-explosive round at incredible speed, delivering both kinetic and explosive force to hard and soft targets alike.
As an added bonus, the Master Chief also comes with a free Micro Ops figure of Cortana. Perfectly in scale with our other Micro Ops figures, Cortana also works as an accessory to our standard six-inch figures. Cortana can be removed from her base and held in a figure's hand, just as she's often seen throughout the Halo video game series!
A senior officer of the UNSC Infinity, Commander Thomas Lasky was first introduced to Halo fans in the live-action series Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Our Lasky action figure represents the officer as he appears in the video game Halo 4; in a UNSC fleet officer's uniform, armed with the standard Magnum sidearm. Pistol fits in figure's holster, and is removable.
The Elites are back in Halo 4, including the popular Ranger variant as depicted in Halo: Reach. Elite Rangers feature a fully-sealed environment suit and an airtight helmet with clear visor; perfect for extra-vehicular activity in the vacuum of space. Our Elite Ranger figure comes with the redesigned, Halo 4 version of the Beam Rifle.
The Kig-Yar, commonly known as Jackals, return in Halo 4 as part of the alien Covenant that continues to threaten humanity and the UNSC. The Storm Jackal features the new, more reptilian look seen in Halo 4. Figure includes the redesigned version of the Covenant Carbine weapon.
The fan-favorite Scout armor, previously seen in both Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, returns in an updated, yet instantly recognizable form for the Spartan-IVs of the UNSC Infinity in Halo 4. Our Spartan Scout figure features an orange paint scheme, and comes equipped with the new Sticky Detonator weapon; previously only available with the Master Chief in the UNSC Cryotube boxed set.
An all-new Spartan armor type making its debut in Halo 4, the Spartan C.I.O. is instantly recognizable by its distinctive helmet with three optical sensors. This brand-new Spartan figure is clad in purple armor and comes with the latest version of the Designated Marksman Rifle, a popular mid-range UNSC weapon first introduced in Halo: Reach.
Pick up these all new Halo 4 figures this January 2013. Also be sure to check out Halo 4 Series 1, in stores now, and more Series 1 figures coming out with the Halo 4 game launch this November 2012!
Stay tuned to www.mcfarlane.com more awesome Halo 4 news coming soon!

The campers came to the park from all around the Chicagoland area and were excited to spend time with the friendly Wolves volunteers. They really improved their floor hockey skills, getting the chance to play against two alumni players!
Skates, the mascot, was a huge hit with the girls. They had a great time playing with him throughout the day.
At the end of the day, one volunteer said, "I enjoyed watching the girls work together. They were a great team!" Another added, "Volunteering with Girls in the Game made me proud to be a part of the Wolves and gave me insight on one of our charities." Many thanks to the Wolves for spending time at camp and helping to give so many girls the summer of their lives!

[Video]Wendy Williams Cries About Own Drug Past As She Discusses Whitney Houston
Talk show host Wendy Williams got emotional on her show yesterday while reporting that singer Whitney Houston had checked herself into an outpatient rehab program. While discussing Whitney's unfortunate situation, she recalled her drug past and revealed to the audience that Whitney admitting herself was more than likely a result of her having to be insured to participate in the 'Waiting To Exhale' Sequel.
"Have you ever tried drugs? Well I have. It's been many years, I can laught about it now, too. It's the stupidest thing I ever did in my life, you know, but I am familiar with every form of cocaine including crack and that whole bit. And I have to tell you, when I saw this picture right here, show that other picture of Whitney.
"[Begins crying] I remember that girl, sweaty, hair in the face, grown…I remember that girl very well, [points to herself] I wrote the book and everything. I can own up to my mistakes. Whitney, you need more than outpatient, and furthermore, I'm going to tell you right now because I've said it before: I don't believe that you were sober on Oprah, I don't believe that you went into rehab voluntarily this time[…]On Inside Edition they said that Whitney just signed on for Waiting to Exhale 2. Well you know what happens with these Hollywood people, you have to be insurable and bankable. Nobody's insuring [points to photo] this. So clean it up!

Funtoo Linux is a Linux-based operating system that is a variant of Gentoo Linux, led by Daniel Robbins (the creator and former Chief Architect of Gentoo) who serves as benevolent dictator for life (BDFL) of the project. Funtoo Linux is optimized for the best possible performance, supporting Intel Core i7, AMD FX Processors, and others. See what we support. See Distinctives, below, for more information about what makes us special.
Other Funtoo Projects include:
- Keychain, an SSH/GPG agent front-end.
- Metro, automated Funtoo build engine.
- Learn Linux! Awk, Bash, Sed and more.
Perl UpdatesGentoo has bumped perl from 5.20 to 5.22. Be sure to run perl-cleaner --all after the upgrade.
ARM RebuildARM systems will use new stage3's that are not compatible with earlier versions.
Expand the wiki!
The How to 'wiki' will help you to learn how to create wiki documents. Have a look at Requested Documents and pages that need to be updated.
See Ebuilds for a list of all ebuild pages, and Adding an Ebuild to the Wiki for information on how to add one.
This wiki is using a new system to manage translations to non-English languages. View Special:PageTranslation for a list of pages that have been chosen to be translated. We ask that all translators focus on these pages -- the list will expand in the future. To translate a page, Create a Funtoo account, log in, and then click the "Translate this page" link at the top of the page. Translation is easy -- you can translate the page piece by piece so it is manageable. This new system is designed to keep translations up-to-date so that our non-English documentation remains current.
Funtoo Linux is a meta-distribution, which means it is built (fully automatically) with the functionality and optimizations that you want, not what some distro maintainer thought was best for you. Packages are installed directly from source code, thanks to the Portage ports system, inspired by the FreeBSD ports system, written in Python and with full advanced package management functionality. We use Git for all our development, and we also use Git to deliver our ports tree to you.
In contrast to Gentoo Linux, we offer a number of innovations, including our extensive use of git, our profile system, boot-update boot management tool, our incredibly flexible template-based networking scripts, Metro distribution build system, support of Debian, RHEL and other kernels, enhanced Python support, Portage mini-manifests, user-centric distribution model, and a large number of community infrastructure improvements.
Getting Started
Install Funtoo Linux and get involved in our user community. Get to know fellow users on our forums. Funtoo Linux has a very active IRC community on Freenode (in the
#funtoo channel) and you are encouraged to hang out with us.
We welcome bug reports and suggestions. Please report bugs to our bug tracker. We take all bugs seriously, and all work performed is tracked on our bug tracker, for purposes of transparency.

Hey Ladies,
I hope all is well!! I am going to need a few assistant coordinators here in Texas. I am having some health issues and may undergo a few surgeries, so it will be tough for me to keep up with everything.... I was thinking about having 1 assistant per region...
Central (Austin, Hill Country, San Antonio)
East Texas (Tyler, Killeen, etc..)

I would like to have several walk-a-thons around Texas, especially Houston, DFW and Austin, so I would need help in coordinating those.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards

It took me about 3 hours to read. The PDF version has a lot more extras that the online HTML versions has.IMO although he does not purport UR, it sums up UR quite effectively. In fact it sums up the current move of God. If we teach this, hell goes out the window by itself w/o any help from us.I have published these excerpts on my blog too. Hopefully that will get some eyes opened. Living Christ is church. BIC
I think it was on a website called The Shovel. Every few weeks or month a new chapter of the book would be printed. I read every chapter, but lost track of it over time. I didn't know the book was available online....I'm enjoying it immensly.
Just finished reading the online book:So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore?It's also available in printed form.The book is written in a fictional and conversational style and it's a short, easy read. The authors promote being the church and their character, "John" says all the the same things that the Lord has shown my husband and I. So, if you've ever wondered just what Hopeful thinks about church and fellowship you can read this book and then you'll know. http://www.jakecolsen.com/contents.html
One of the authors of this book is Wayne Jacobsen. He's got a book called "He Loves Me" that my parents really enjoy, and we've had the pleasure of having him stay in our neighborhood before, as he travels around. Here's his website: http://www.lifestream.org/index.php
Thanks I think ill give it a read. =] I am aiming to learn more and reading the replys to this book I see that this would be an amazing help.

He is a regular in the Republic of Ireland national sides at U16 and U17. Aaron Hayden Defender Aaron is a defender who joined us from Chelsea after completing his Under 16 year with them in London. Originally from Croydon, he has now moved to live in Wolverhampton.He has settled in well as he continues his football development at Compton with Wolves Academy.

He is a regular in the Irish International squads, and he has gained valuable experience from his involvement with these teams. Jesse Devers Forward Another recruit from the Republic of Ireland, and another regular player selected in his country's International squads. Again, the experience that Jesse has gained from this should help him develop his career here at Wolves.He joined us upon leaving school and from his hometown club, Mannulla in County Mayo. First Year Apprentices Rhys Bills Goalkeeper Rhys is a local boy from Cannock, who was first spotted whilst playing for Cannock and District Schoolboys, in a game v Wolverhampton.

He was invited in to trial, and he was signed after impressing in U16 games. Razvan Oaida Midfielder Razvan is from Romania and originates from Arad in Eastern Romania close to the border with Hungary. He is another player with useful international experience and a regular starter for his national team. He speaks good English and he has settled very well in Wolverhampton after spending a considerable amount of time at the club during his U16 year.

As outlined by the Introduction to the History of Work Series, this is Part 1 of 5 of the Best and Worst Jobs in History. Godfrey and I don't stand on ceremony or words. We get right down to business. Without further ado, here are the selections:
Best. Job. Ever. Number 5!
Being a Pirate has simultaneously transformed and stayed the same since there was water and people had boats. The mediums have changed (ie. the Internet or a Hedge Fund instead of a ship), but the methods (ie. lying, cheating, killing, hacking, stealing) have stayed the same. Historians and popular culture will tell you the a career as a pirate means freedom, adventure and rum, which is true. It also meant democracy, health insurance and possibly getting hanged, drowned or put in jail for the ridiculously greedy ponzi scheme that you pulled on the financial world. This career is a celebration of independence, entrepreneurship and risk taking.
Summary of Academically Sound Findings and Analysis:
Level of Hardship
|Lots of risk-reward here. For example, Bernie Madoff, one of the twenty-first century's more notorious pirates, is facing a lot of hardship now. This being said, many Somali pirates (flush with cash and power after several years of mostly successful hijackings and coastal defending) are living much richer lives than their parents and grandparents ever did. Pirate ships were, as we all know, the first places where democratic principles were written down (100 years before the French Revolution), they saw health-insurance established, and tolerance of ethnicity and gender were also realized here before anywhere else on Earth…or at sea.
All this being said, having your face exploded by a cannon or your arm semi-hacked-off with a rusty cutlass isn't really "medium" hardship…
|Opportunity for Advancement
|Why do you think so many merchant sailors and Royal Navy seamen deserted their serf-like existence to become pirates? Because every pirate is only a few votes away from becoming a First Mate or Captain!!!
Women were also able to advance in this profession. In fact, the greatest pirate in history was a woman named Madame Cheng.
|Meaningful Nature of Work
|For someone who has an entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, loves a tropical climate, and is known to sip some rum every now and then, this job is for you.Whether today or 400 years ago, pirates have always found meaning by thumbing their noses at the status quo and finding different ways to make the world work. Meaning is what you make it when you're a pirate!
Worst. Job. Ever. Number 5!
The First World War Message Runner was responsible for maintaining a battle's lines of communication before radio existed – in fact, it would not be uncommon to see a message runner carrying a cage of pigeons through the exploding muck of the Western Front because, well, pigeons were more reliable than transmission cables. Not only was the job horribly dangerous, if you think about the daily nine-to-fives (we've all had them) where nothing gets accomplished and you feel like crap walking home in the rain, wondering what it's all for, the life of the Message Runner was just like that…except, instead of data-entry, powerpoint presentations, or hammering nails, you faced imminent death every single day.
No water breaks or smoke breaks, as the glow of a cigarette would be spotted by a sniper a mile away. Oh, and the mud on your boots would invariably cause your feet to rot (it was called "Trench Foot"). And, remember, if you quit, your friends will probably die.
Summary of Academically Sound Findings and Analysis:
Level of Hardship
|It's not just the getting shot or shrapneled or bayonetted that makes this job one wracked with hardship. It's the overwhelming knowledge that, if you fail, the lines of communication break down and there is a really, really good chance that your comrades – and your friends – will die in a hail of gunfire and explosions.
It's also incredibly hard to run through mud that is waist-deep when you're tangled in barbed-wire and you can't see anything through the haze of mustard gas.
|Opportunity for Advancement
|Hey, if you don't get horribly wounded by shrapnel or captured by the enemy you could get promoted to, like, Corporal! …awesome…
Fun historical fact: Adolph Hitler actually started his "career" as a message runner in the First World War. Clearly, this is a traumatizing job (see above).
|Meaningful Nature of Work
|Your work is incredibly meaningful – life-saving, even. But this only makes things worse.
Reflections on these Jobs
GODFREY: The jobs in this series are not always bound by place and time….Take piracy, well, it's alive and well, on the financial trading floors of the world. Sure, they've swapped their peg legs for Prada, their hook hands for Blackberries and soiled sea clothes for Armani and white collars, but they're still pirates. I won't beat this analogy to death, but if you think of the rolling graphs of the Dow Jones index as the high seas, and derivatives as highly risky booty, well there you have it. The risk that everything could sink – you along with it – just makes it better.
First World War Message Runners is probably the most sadly futile and comically absurd occupation that ever was.
JOHN: Amazing! Our matrix totally works! Hopefully we sucked some of the romanticism out of piracy (ie. Bernie Madoff is a pirate and Johnny Depp will never play him in a movie). Every kind of pirate is all about teamwork, adaptability, innovation, and they're typically great communicators.
As for Message Runners, well, nothing screams futility like a guy running through mud to deliver a message that might possibly affect minor changes along an immovable stalemate in a totally useless war. Sigh. As it turns out, creativity can't outmatch exploding shells.
