Blind Riddles Articles
Lainey blind riddles
His ups and downs
It's hard to stay up. Every time he's gone up, he's always come back down. It was thought that that was only because he was young. And now, with children and a devoted wife, he was supposed to be able to hold it together. So far, sure, but just barely. There were signs before Christmas but during the holidays, he injured his back on a ski trip. Full Story
Old Grudges
Remember his big snub? Turns out it had something to do with his perfect wife. You wouldn't think anyone could hold anything against her -- the ideal mother, the supportive spouse -- but this goes back years, when she was a candidate for a set-up. A very powerful man set her up with a single man who needed a girlfriend. Full Story
Not a happy day
It's supposed to a happy day. Especially for a woman. Her wedding day recently was not a happy day. Unfortunately, she made it miserable, for herself and for everyone involved. And you make people miserable on a day that's about celebration, you can't really expect them not to talk sh-t about you, right? She was raging all day. Full Story
Two unfaithful wives
The First Wife is still trying to figure out if she wants to be one. She and her husband have been through a lot the last few years, on both sides. It was before the trouble though when she had an affair with a colleague -- still above the line, but with a smaller spotlight, both compared to First Wife and his own wife who's just as famous too, and should be just as acclaimed. Full Story
The assistant at the border
This blind riddle is about a celebrity and his assistant, and what it might be like to work for a celebrity as an assistant. Some of the benefits? You get to be part of that culture and you're surrounded by creativity – in this case, I guess – and you get to travel around the world. Full Story
Doing it through the underwear hole
Inexplicably, he's been linked to some really hot, pretty famous women, even though he's not exactly hot and he behaves, at least artistically, like a douchebag. What's the attraction? Certainly not his sex moves. This won't solve the mystery either. When it's time to f-ck, he doesn't like doing it at home. Full Story
She lost the cover
It's an opportunity that's been withheld from some of the most famous women in the world. It's considered a major honour – to make the cover, THAT cover, a cover her predecessors had achieved and one that was being offered to her just as she was moving forward with the next stage in her career. Full Story
Big super secret hookup
There's a reason she recently decided to flaunt her brand new relationship so publicly. Suddenly she'd found true love behind the scenes? And they were telling magazines about it? And getting papped on holiday in Europe? It was because she was sending a message. To the major Hollywood player with whom she'd been having an affair for 6 months. Full Story
What he does in his room
After a series of sh-tty relationships, she thought she'd finally found the one. He says the right things, he wants to be with her all the time, he isn't embarrassed to be seen with her. And he's not motivated to do much other than to be with her. Life is not particularly challenging for either of them. Full Story
Deal with the paps
She hates the paps, and she's been burned by the paps. So now she's dealing with the paps and is working exclusively with one agency, agreeing to give them photos on a regular basis. The agreement started several months ago when she approached one agency in exchange for information on a paparazzo working for another agency. Full Story
Nanny Diaries
No one wants to work with Hollywood's most difficult mother. She now has a reputation among child care agencies for being the most unpopular celebrity nanny employer and many now only send to her the nannies on their staff who specialise in dealing with mega bitch moms. She is surprisingly less organised than you would think, often requesting services with no lead time and expecting to be offered priority treatment. Full Story
Doing it to get her back
We were all a little sad, I think, when it was confirmed that they'd broken up. No one sadder than him. But she left him because of his drinking. It was excessive, and with the experience of her last relationship, she saw the signs and opted for self-preservation. In addition to his relationship with alcohol though, he also had an unconventional relationship with sex. Full Story
Mother Issues
She's a mega-star who started young and seemed to not be affected by the child star curse. Seemed to be. But eventually, that sh-t will find you, even on a delay. It's the mother. Though the parents were previously thought to be harmless... the mother now appears to be going full Dina Lohan. Full Story
Cold Young Feet?
At a pre-Oscar party this weekend... He's young, super hot, and engaged. To someone also young, also hot, and arguably more famous, for now. But she wasn't with him. Which is why he could focus all his attention on someone else -- a beautiful girl made famous by a franchise who is growing out her hair while his fiancée currently prefers it the opposite way.

Thursday, November 19, 2009
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA -- Chance Veazey was living out his dream. He had a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Georgia. He impressed his coach so much during fall workouts that he was already penciled in as the starting second baseman.
Tragedy struck before Veazey made it to opening day.
Late last month, the freshman wrapped up a routine study session at the campus learning center, hopped on his scooter and drove out into the night. He never made it to where he was going, colliding with a car along the way. Sprawled out on the ground, he couldn't feel anything in his legs.
Veazey, it turned out, had sustained a devastating spinal cord injury.
The grim diagnosis: paralyzed below the waist.
"I can't begin to imagine what's going through his head," Georgia coach David Perno said Thursday, shortly after the first details of Veazey's injury were made public. "There will be no one on our team feeling sorry for themselves anymore, I can tell you that. This was life- changing not only for me, but a lot of people close to him."
Veazey was injured Oct. 28 -- the first night of the World Series, strangely enough -- and transferred about a week later to the Shepherd Center. There he is learning how to live from a wheelchair and perhaps girding himself to face the reality that he may never walk again.
"We're only three weeks into it," said Dr. Donald Peck Leslie, Shepherd's medical director. "I don't think (he's given up on the) hope that something miraculous is going to happen, that the light is going to suddenly turn on. We've seen it happen. We wish it happened more. But we have got to help him deal with the possibility, the probability, that it may not. That's very important."
Over the years, Shepherd has worked with more than 50,000 victims of spinal cord injuries, including hockey player Travis Roy, who was left a quadriplegic by a freak injury on the very first shift of his very first college game. Veazey never made it to his first game, though he had already shown the Bulldogs he was quite a player.
"Some guys have just got it," Perno said. "He had it. He could hit. I mean, he could really hit. He was gritty. He was tough. He played the right way, for the right reasons. This sets us back in a lot of areas, not having him. He definitely would've started for us."
Of course, the coach is far more concerned about Veazey's well-being than what this terrible accident means for next season's lineup. At times, Perno appeared close to tearing up during a news conference at the Shepherd Center, not far from where Veazey was undergoing an already-rigorous rehab program.
"He's a part of our family and always will be," Perno said. "We're praying for a miracle."
Veazey and his parents weren't at the news conference. While they wanted everyone to know how he was doing, their pain is apparently still a little too raw to face the media.
The center released a four-minute tape showing Veazey going through some of his daily routine: lifting weights, pulling and tugging on various contraptions. He had a thick, bulky brace around his midsection, but that didn't totally conceal what he was wearing underneath.
A red Georgia T-shirt. Black shorts with the school's logo.
Veazey didn't speak on the video but did manage a brief smile. He mostly grimaced as he sweated his way through the rigorous workout.
"It's incredible how he's taken it," Perno said. "I don't know if he's still got a lot bottled up inside. I can't read that. But I know that you couldn't ask someone to handle it as well mentally as he's handled it up to this point. He's been everybody's strength."
Veazey's accident left him with a fractured 10th vertebrae but the Shepherd staff hopes he'll be well enough to go home for Thanksgiving next week in the south Georgia town of Tifton. While that will be just a brief respite, he could be discharged from the facility before Christmas.

Appendix B: Abstract Completion Instructions
Note: As in prior years, the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration has updated the fiscal year (FY) 2011 Reception and Placement (R&P) Program Request for Grant Proposal (RFGP) from earlier RFGPs in order to clarify some provisions and ensure that proposals from applicants have all relevant information. Language from the current Cooperative Agreement (CA) between PRM and participating agencies and language from current program policy documents has been added to clarify the requirements of the program and assist applicants in preparing adequate responses.
Other changes include:
· Including outcome performance measures that will be utilized in FY 2011;
· Requiring applicants to reflect affiliate utilization of the per capita increase;
· Allowing applicants to reflect more clearly the employment situation for refugees at the affiliate level; and
· Allowing applicants to describe the health care services available in each affiliate community.
I. Purpose of the Reception and Placement Program
The Reception and Placement (R&P) Program for the initial reception and placement of refugees in the United States is managed by the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State (hereinafter referred to as the "Bureau"). The purpose of the R&P Program is to promote the successful reception and placement of all persons who are admitted to the United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. For the purpose of this announcement, "refugee" is defined as a person admitted to the United States under section 207(c) of the INA, as amended, or a person to whom eligibility for the resettlement assistance available to individuals admitted under section 207 (c) has been extended by statute.
To accomplish this goal, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) recognizes the desirability for public or private non-profit organizations to provide R&P services and to assist refugees to achieve economic self-sufficiency as quickly as possible. The program goals and objectives set forth in this announcement have been established in accordance with these statutory provisions.
The goals of the R&P Program administered by the Bureau are:
A. To ensure the ability to receive promptly into the United States all refugees approved for admission under applicable provisions of the INA;
B. To ensure that all refugees approved for admission to the United States are provided with sponsorship and reception and placement services appropriate to their personal circumstances;
C. To maintain national capacity for the reception and placement of refugees, in accordance with admissions ceilings determined annually by the President after consultation with the Congress; and,
D. To assist refugees in achieving economic self-sufficiency in coordination with other refugee services and assistance programs authorized by the INA that enable refugees to be successfully resettled.
The Bureau partners with and provides partial financial support to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to carry out the R&P Program. Participating organizations are expected to combine the Bureau's financial assistance with existing and projected private resources for the provision of R&P services for refugees admitted to the United States during the period October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011. The R&P service period is defined as an initial 30-day period that can be extended up to 90 days should more than 30 days be required to complete delivery of R&P services. Placement plans requested in this announcement will cover the full fiscal year (i.e., October 1 through September 30).
II. Program Objectives for FY 2011
A. To ensure that R&P core services and basic needs support are made available in an appropriate language[1] to refugees through nationwide networks of affiliated offices;
B. To promote the placement of all refugees in areas conducive to the attainment of economic self-sufficiency;
C. To promote refugee placement through agencies that maximize the use of private resources and programs;
D. To promote effective resettlement through community involvement including coordination with ethnic and other community-based organizations and through consultation and coordination with state and local public agencies involved in assisting refugees;
E. To ensure that each refugee receives the following R&P basic needs support and core services according to standards included in the Cooperative Agreement and its attachments within the specified time frame, and that provision of such services is well documented in case files:
1. Sponsorship assurance;
2. Pre-arrival planning;

Basic needs support for at least 30 days, including the provision of: decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing; essential furnishings; appropriate food and food allowances and other basic necessities; necessary clothing; assistance applying for social security cards; assistance registering children in school; and transportation to job interviews and job training;
5. At least two home visits, in addition to the initial housing orientation visit, within the first 30 days by affiliate staff, co-sponsor, or other designated representative, and a third home visit to permanent housing if the refugee moves from temporary housing within the R&P period;
6. Case management, including the development and implementation of individualized resettlement plans during the initial 30-day period;
7. Community, health, and other orientation;
8. Assistance in obtaining health screening and assistance accessing other necessary health and mental health services;
9. Assistance in obtaining employment services;
10. Assistance in obtaining appropriate benefits, other social service programs, and English as a Second Language instruction;
11. Assistance to refugee minor children resettled in non-parental family units, as required: initial placement suitability assessments; orientation to U.S. child welfare requirements; assistance regarding guardianship and legal obligations in caring for the child; regular personal contact; and follow-up assessments and suitability determinations.
F. To maintain the capability and flexibility to receive and place new caseloads, including refugees with special needs, and to shift program and staff resources to reflect changing refugee populations; and

III. Eligible Applicants
The Bureau intends to award Cooperative Agreements (CA) for FY 2011 to well-qualified non-profit organizations able to offer a range of services in multiple locations across the United States. This will include applicants that have demonstrated satisfactory performance under previous agreements with the Bureau and/or applicants that meet the selection criteria described below and have demonstrated the capacity to provide required services. Applicants should understand that participation in the FY 2010 R&P Program is neither a pre-condition for nor a guarantee of continued participation in FY 2011.
In order to be considered for participation in the program, applicants must:
A. Be well-established social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise and experience managing a network of affiliates that provide reception and placement or similar services to refugees or other migrant populations in the United States;
B. Have been in operation for at least three full years in 501(c)(3) non-profit status; and
C. Document the availability of private financial resources to contribute to the program.
Failure to satisfy any of the three required qualifications above will preclude further consideration for participation in the program.
IV. Funding Procedures
Under current funding procedures, each agency with which the Bureau enters into a Cooperative Agreement (CA) is provided $1800 for each refugee it sponsors who arrives in the United States during the period of the CA and is verified to have been placed and assisted by the agency. The funding is intended to supplement the private resources available to the applicant and may be used only at the local affiliate at which the refugee is resettled and only for the direct benefit of refugees and for the delivery of services to refugees in accordance with program requirements as described in the CA and its attachments. In addition, the Bureau funds national R&P Program management costs according to separately negotiated and approved budgets based on the applicant's sponsorship capacity.
The annual ceiling for refugee admissions is established by the President following consultations with the Congress towards the end of FY 2010. The FY 2011appropriation and refugee ceiling have not yet been determined. For planning purposes, applicants should use the FY 2010 admissions ceiling as a baseline, although that may not necessarily be the ceiling that will be set by the President for FY 2011. As in previous years, applicants should base their placement plans provided to PRM in response to this RFGP on the anticipated capacity of their network of local affiliates, which will have consulted with resettlement partners in their communities in order to ensure that the placement plans are reasonable and appropriate. Should the FY 2011 Presidential Determination and appropriation processes result in ceilings that are different from the total capacity that has been proposed by all approved applicants, the Bureau will work with approved applicants, as necessary, to develop a revised plan, as it has in previous years.
V. Refugee Caseload Assignment
Cases will be assigned to each approved applicant through a process administered on behalf of the Bureau by the Refugee Processing Center (RPC), 1401 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 700, Arlington, VA 22209.
The number of refugees assigned to an approved applicant will be determined by the Bureau, in accordance with the needs of the Admissions Program, taking into account ceilings established by the FY 2011 Presidential Determination, the capacity of the applicant and its affiliates, placement recommendations of state and local officials, the applicants' demonstrated ability to implement its proposed placement plan, and past performance. The Iraqi and Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) cases requesting R&P services will be allocated to the approved applicants as refugee cases.
New applicants should provide a reasonable estimate of the applicant's placement capacity for new refugee arrivals.
VI. Proposal Evaluation Process
PRM will conduct a formal competitive review of all proposals submitted in response to this funding announcement. A review panel will evaluate submissions based on the below-referenced proposal evaluation criteria in the context of available funding. The panel will evaluate proposals to determine whether and to what extent the applicant's plan for refugee reception and placement meets the R&P Program's goals and objectives.
In order to provide NGOs with timely feedback, PRM may request revised proposals and/or budgets based on feedback from the panel and will inform applicants of the panel's decision to recommend or not recommend funding proposed activities. PRM will follow up with formal notifications to NGOs of final decisions taken by Bureau management.
The panel will evaluate eligible proposals according to the following ranking factors (100 points possible):
A. Documented headquarters organizational capacity to manage a network of affiliates in multiple locations; demonstrated coordination and established relationships between headquarters and affiliates; explanation of how the R&P agency and affiliate network will respond to an increased or decreased resettlement need while ensuring the required level of service to all refugees; demonstrated accountability for performance outcomes. (25 points)
B. Proposed placement plan which is well-supported by documented local affiliate capacity to provide quality, language-appropriate reception and placement services for arriving refugees of diverse backgrounds and which reflects the organization's ability to shift program and staff resources in response to changing refugee populations. Evidence of coordination and consultation with community-based organizations and state and local public agencies providing services to refugees. Evidence of community support for the local affiliates and for the refugee program. Documented capacity to contribute significant private resources to the R&P Program at the local level. (40 points)
C. Documented headquarters capacity to train and monitor affiliate offices in accordance with established program requirements and performance standards. (15 points)
D. Documented capacity to contribute significant private resources to the R&P Program at headquarters. Detailed and cost-effective headquarters budget. (20 points)

The Project Narrative must contain the following sections and should adhere to the requirements listed:
Section I. Organizational Structure
Each applicant should describe its organizational structure and how the applicant headquarters is organized to manage the R&P program. The applicant should describe the network that will provide R&P services, including the number of affiliates and sub-offices; the overall management of this structure and coordination that occurs among all stakeholders; and its relationships with affiliates and sub-offices. Describe any recent or anticipated changes in headquarters management, operations, or policies. Explanation of how the R&P agency and affiliate network will respond to an increased or decreased resettlement need while ensuring the required level of service to all refugees.
Section II. Network Management and Oversight
• Affiliate Network and Placement Procedures
All proposals should contain a description of how new refugee groups and refugees with special needs (e.g., victims of torture, women-headed households, Class A medical cases, other cases with significant medical or mental health conditions, unaccompanied minors or minors traveling without their biologic or legally adoptive parents) will be accommodated within the proposed network.
Applicants with existing programs should include a narrative description of how they actively manage affiliate network capacity to meet fluctuations in arrivals and respond to increased or decreased need while ensuring the required level of service to all refugees. Describe the process used by applicants to compile the affiliate abstracts and to ensure the information in the abstracts reflects the commitment of the affiliate, in consultation with state and local officials, to support the proposed capacity and fulfill the R&P requirements for all refugees placed in each location. Applicants with existing programs should cite their FY 2009 network-aggregate 90-day employment statistic for all employable adults including the total number of employable adults. Applicants should also include network-aggregate out-migration data for FY 2009 including the total number of arrivals.
The radius for placement by affiliates is restricted to 100 miles within the same state for predestined cases and cases with U.S. ties and 50 miles within the same state for cases with no U.S. ties. If an applicant proposes to place predestined or cases with U.S. ties outside the 100-mile in-state radius, provide a rationale and a list of such sites. If a participating applicant proposes to place predestined or cases with U.S. ties in a different state (regardless of distance) than that in which their affiliate is located, the applicant must submit in PDF a letter of support from the state refugee coordinator of the state of intended placement. Placement of cases allocated with no U.S. ties beyond the 50-mile in-state restriction is not permitted.
Please list all affiliate and sub-office sites opened and closed during FY 2010 as well as proposed new sites and sites planned for closure in FY 2011. Applicants planning to close existing sites should provide as additional attachments in Grants.gov: a plan for completion of services for all active R&P cases; a plan for the disposition of all R&P records and case files (to be retained for a period of no less than three years), including a plan to transfer files to the affiliate designated to receive active cases; a projected timeline for ceasing activities; and a copy of the R&P agency's notice of closure letter to the state refugee coordinator.
New Sites
For all applicants, the Bureau will consider requests to open new sites if accompanied by appropriate documentation. Documentation should be submitted as additional attachments in Grants.gov.
Required documentation: All applicants should provide a statement of rationale for new sites including the number of proposed refugee placements at each location and evidence of coordination with state and local officials and other refugee service providers. The rationale should include justification for placement of the proposed refugee groups including employment opportunities which are related to the resettlement of each proposed refugee group, available low-cost housing, detail on existing ethnic communities, staff and community language capacity, and available English-as-a-Second Language resources. The rationale should be accompanied by: a completed abstract; evidence of private support, including projected funding sources and levels; a letter of support from the proposed site's governing entity; a letter of support from the state refugee coordinator; a list of existing community resources available to R&P clients at the proposed site and a letter of support from partnering agencies; an explanation of the proposed management structure at the new location; a time line for the opening of the proposed site and implementation of program activities; and a detailed training plan for R&P staff which includes a list of R&P topics to be covered. During the proposal review process, PRM may request additional information.
• Network Oversight and Training
The applicant should identify how headquarters staff assess and monitor local capacity and perform oversight of their affiliates' delivery of services. The applicant should describe any headquarters policy regarding the use of the increase in the FY 2010 per capita grant. Applicants should describe monitoring practices, procedures, and how problems identified during applicant or PRM monitoring are addressed and resolved.
Provide a brief description of network training events related to R&P conducted during FY 2010 and planned for FY 2011, including the purpose of each training, the desired outcome(s), and mechanisms for ensuring appropriate staff receive(d) the training.
Include a brief description of applicant fraud prevention strategies and activities, including how the applicant informs refugees about the importance of combating fraud and how the applicant responds to alleged or possible fraud.
Section III. Loan Collection
Applicant should describe how its system for collection of refugee transportation loans enables it to comply with the responsibilities set forth in the Cooperative Agreement and those set forth in the separate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The description should address each of the Cooperative Agreement and IOM MOU responsibilities and how each one is met or not met by the system. Should a responsibility not yet be met by the collection system, please provide specific information on proposed changes and when such changes will be implemented to fully meet the requirements. For example, does the system include appropriate procedures to successfully trace addresses? Are social security numbers recorded in the loan collection files? Are past due loan notes transferred to IOM in accordance with the steps set forth in Annex II of the IOM contract? Confirm the number of full and part-time staff devoted to the loan collection effort during the current year and the number expected to be devoted under a new agreement.
Note: Only applicants approved for loan collection may be assigned loans for collection; should new R&P agencies be identified and funded as a result of this announcement, they should not assume that their future number of assigned refugees will be sufficient to operate an individual loan collection program.
Section IV. Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM) Foster Care Program Applicants Only
If an applicant is currently participating in the placement of unaccompanied refugee minors into foster care and wishes to continue these placements in FY 2011, the proposal should describe headquarters procedures for placing and assuring such cases during FY 2011 and list participating affiliates. Applicants should also provide Affiliate Abstracts for each foster care site and include such sites in their consolidated placement plan.
Section V. New Applicants Only
Please provide all information required above as well as:
· A narrative describing the history and development of the organization, its background in social service activities, particularly with refugee clients or other migrant populations and experience with and capacity to sponsor refugees of various ethnic backgrounds. Specifically, new applicants should address how their agency envisions providing language-appropriate services to arriving refugees throughout its proposed network.
B. Budget (National Management Budget FY 2011)
The R&P Program represents a long-standing public-private partnership, and is funded from a combination of public and private resources.

Personnel whose costs are included in an applicant's overhead base may not be included here.
If an employee works 100% of the time on the R&P Program, that employee should be listed as 1.0 FTE. If an employee works less than 100% of the time on the R&P Program, the FTE and funding level for the employee should be prorated appropriately. Applicants are reminded that any employee charged directly to the R&P program must complete time sheets demonstrating that the claimed amount of time was actually devoted to working on the R&P Program versus other responsibilities.
This section of the budget should include travel costs related to the R&P Program for the purposes of attending allocations meetings, travel to affiliate offices to conduct R&P monitoring or training, and attending national R&P conferences and relevant Bureau meetings.

For each trip, include purpose of trip, departure and arrival cities, number of travelers, and duration of trip/number of days. Travel costs listed should include local taxi fares, POV mileage, airfares, per diem and lodging (when required for overnight trips).
This section of the budget should include equipment costs directly attributable to the R&P Program. Provide separate estimates for expendable and non-expendable equipment and furnishings, with explanation in the comments section. Non-expendable equipment is that which has a useful life of one year or more and an acquisition cost of $5000 or more per unit.
Office Supplies
This section of the budget should include supply costs directly attributable to the R&P Program. Items listed in this section would include (as examples) stationery, copier paper, envelopes, paper clips, pens, pencils, file folders, or other small items generally used within one (1) year or less.

HSNEGA joins Grace Episcopal Church for Blessing of the Animals
The board of directors of the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia joined with Grace Episcopal Church of Gainesville for the church's annual Blessing of the Animals held Oct. 6.
"Grace Episcopal has been hosting their Blessing of the Animals service for years, but it has been a while since HSNEGA has been able to join in the event," said David Arias, executive director of HSNEGA. "Our staff thought participating in the service would be a meaningful way to celebrate the unique relationship we all have with our pets of all types."
The service was held on the front lawn of Brenau University, located directly across the street from the church campus in downtown Gainesville at the corner of Washington Street and Boulevard.
Pets and domestic animals of all shapes and sizes were welcome with their owners to participate in the Blessing of Animals service.
Service attendees were asked to bring donations for the humane society. In addition to monetary donations, items on HSNEGA's "wish list" included dry pet food, pet shampoo, towels and blankets, and hand sanitizer, that will be accepted at all times. Gift cards to local grocery stores, office supply store, pet stores or Walmart, Sam's Club or Target are always welcome, as well, to purchase needed supplies.
"The Blessing of Animals is our way of celebrating not just the life of St. Francis, but also our reverence for God's creation, and our calling to care for the environment," said the Rev. Dean Taylor, interim rector of Grace Church. "St. Francis' love of animals reflects his awareness that all creatures are blessed and loved by God."
For more information on how you can donate, call HSNEGA at 770-532-6617 or Grace Episcopal at 770-536-0126.About the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia

Grant supports program for history teachers
By : Rachel Coker
A nearly $1 million grant will support the continuation of a professional development program for area history teachers offered at Binghamton University.
The Broome-Tioga Board of Cooperative Educational Services recently received a $961,290 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to strengthen the teaching of American history. BOCES will work with the University's Center for the Teaching of American History during the next three years to provide teachers with workshops, conferences, book groups and special events. It's the third time the center has been a partner in such a grant since 2001.
"This will make history classrooms in the area much more exciting and intellectually interesting places," said Thomas Dublin, professor of history and director of the Center for the Teaching of American History.
Plans call for workshops during which 15-20 teachers will develop lesson plans, peer-review conferences at which the best lessons will be shared, book "circles" that will challenge teachers to read the latest American history scholarship and special events such as a workshop on biography with a guest speaker from Syracuse University.
Tim Cooper, curriculum specialist for the Center for the Teaching of American History and a retired Johnson City teacher, said the new grant will add a literacy component to the program. That's of special value to older social studies teachers who might not have had that emphasis earlier in their careers, he said.
"We're really looking at what makes teachers better and what makes it easier to be a teacher," Cooper said. "We've made a real impact on all of the districts in the Southern Tier."
The program will use the New York State standardized tests to evaluate how students of teachers in the workshops are doing compared to students of teachers who don't attend and compared to students of those teachers before they attended. Doug Titus, director of communications and development at Broome-Tioga BOCES, said the test data will help program leaders target trouble areas for teachers and then give them special attention.
"I think the program has been configured to be a win-win for everybody involved," Titus said. "It's a great opportunity for teachers to network with their peers. This has definitely been a rich and rewarding experience for people who have gone through it."
Teachers of students in grades four to 11 may participate in the workshops, and special consideration is given to those in fifth-, seventh-, eighth-, 10th and 11th grades. Those are the years in which U.S. history is taught in New York, and program organizers feel the teachers benefit from interacting with colleagues at other grade levels.
"We have a lot of wonderful and very committed teachers," Dublin said, "but the kind of pressures on them in their day-to-day teaching life make it hard for them to continue to grow and to learn and follow the way the American history field is evolving."
For example, the Civil War was taught quite differently 40 years ago than it is today, he said. The roles of women and African-Americans in the war are now understood in greater depth, and the war itself is considered a transformative event in American history.
"Really none of that was a part of the way history was taught to our area teachers," Dublin said. "By introducing them to that literature and to primary documents that address those issues, they're ready to teach the Civil War very differently."

Yesterday marked the official summer solstice, and mother nature is not holding back in letting us know that summer is here! Last Saturday, the Baltimore Art & Music Project (Baltimore AMP) hosted their Summer Solstice Festival in Dundalk, where hundreds gathered to celebrate the end of spring, and welcome the season of fun!
Several months ago, we ran a story on a strange gathering called My Big Fat Bawlmer Wedding, thrown by as a yearly fundraiser for Baltimore AMP. At the Summer Solstice Festival, we got to experience how some of the funds raised were used, bringing art, music, performance and more to Baltimore County.
As we have previously reported, Baltimore AMP is a Non-Profit Arts Organization mostly serving the Dundalk Community. Its founder and Executive Director, Carla Crisp, started the organization over 15 years ago with the mission to "Provide opportunities for the community – and for young people in particular – to experience, participate in and create music and the arts as a way to strengthen, uplift and renew the spirit and well-being of the individual and the community."
Dundalk is located just outside the Southeast corner of Baltimore City. The Festival was held in the spacious Chesterwood Park, overlooking Lych Cove, feeding into the Chesapeake Bay. The park provided the perfect setting for the festival, where it felt like you were far away from the city– a perfect way to spend an afternoon!
The five hour event featured numerous bands, including Strum The Fox, Bristols, Dirty Secret, Clockbreaker, as well as Talk of Spring, all the way from Louisville, Kentucky.
As the music played on and people danced, vendors sold their wares, and good times were had by all.
As a special treat, the festival found itself in the flight path of the Blue Angels, who flew by overhead on their way to air show as part of the All-Star Sailabration festivities.
What Weekly regular Paco Fish engaged the crowd from 10 feet up, while Jennifer Stephens dazzled young and old with her fantastic bubbles. Patricia Tamariz painted faces, and Cirque Oya hooped the day away. Charm City Movement Arts, featured in this weeks story about Nik Wallenda, offered many the chance to walk a tight rope. These performers added just the right touch of Circus to the festive occasion.
In Baltimore County, where the opportunities to experience art, music, and performance pale in comparison to that which is available in the city, Baltimore Art & Music Project's Summer Solstice Festival was a chance to celebrate those things which keep up happy, alive, and full of magic!
The organization hosts regular events in the county throughout the year, often targeting their programming to the most underserved populations. For more information on Baltimore Art & Music Project, and other events such as these, please visit www.BaltimoreAMP.com

Specialty Services - Brand Management & Long Term Preservation
It is common for manufacturers to source product from other suppliers, especially when it is not cost-effective to tool up for small-volume items. In such cases, the sourced product may carry a logo or other identifying marks from the original manufacturer which may not be appropriate for final distribution.
Venchurs can help.
Scrubbing & Logo Removal
We have skilled workers who can carefully remove all types of identifying marks, from printed or painted markings to molded-in and cast-in characters. Our people can skillfully grind, polish or otherwise obscure these markings, leaving a surface carefully matched to the surrounding area, with little or no trace of their work.
Long Term Preservation
Economies of scale often dictate the purchase of products and sub-assemblies in large quantities. As such, products may be stored for extended periods of time before shipment to the ultimate user. Every end-user wants to receive product in "as-new" condition. And so arises the challenge of preserving items in such condition that they appear to have been made yesterday.
We know how to enhance and extend shelf life through the use of preservatives and creative packaging. We are equipped to apply oil, cosmolene, fluids, and other corrosion-inhibiting coatings. Our methods for applying these materials span a full range of effective, efficient techniques including spraying, immersion, conveyor, brush and others. All of our processes and materials are environmentally-responsible.

Educating kids is a task that can create many moments of anxiety for parents. Not all parents know how to cope with the curiosity of their children, and some are afraid they won't give the right answer to ongoing questions. One of the most feared and inevitable questions, of course, is "Where do babies come from?" In this amusing Kia Sorento commercial, which debuted on the Super Bowl, a father copes with this awkward question by telling his son about Babylandia, a planet filled with all kinds of babies. When it's time for the tots to leave, they carry out an epic space journey by rocket and touch down on Earth.
The skeptical son starts to offer an alternative theory conveyed by a friend—which is when the father interrupts and orders the car's voice-controlled music system to play "Wheels on the Bus." In the end, the Sorento has succeeded in extricating the father from an anxiety-provoking situation. As more cars gain advanced technologies, brands will need to focus less on the technical specs and more on how the tech meets everyday needs. Here, the family car brand shows that its technology provides the tools to deal with a familiar family issue, giving parents confidence that "It has an answer for everything," as onscreen copy promises at the close.

Colorful and unique details, blue skies with puffy clouds, an outdoor city park on the waterfront and a couple of happy newlyweds made this a memorable one. Liz started her day at the Watertown Hotel where she got her hair, makeup and dress perfected before heading down to the Fairview Park. Her dad met her at the top of the stairs and walked her through the woods down to the park and up to meet Kaushik surrounded by both families and their friends.
Liz and planner Tamara Anderson put a ton of time into the details. Lanterns were hanging in the trees, painted balls were strung up at the Yacht Club reception site and they had a very interesting canvas at the entrance where guests inked their fingers and stamped a feather on a peacock painting. Mike's Amazing Cakes delivered a simple yet elegant cake with a kick of Indian flair.
During the reception, all of the guests honored the new couple with a fun dance on the main floor which then opened up to a massive dancing scene. At the conclusion of the night, the guests showered them with sparklers on the dock.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Discipleship
The three core values of the Vine Church are gospel, community, and mission. Discipleship—following Jesus' example and adhering to him—involves living out all three.
Jonathan Parnell has a great excerpt on discipleship from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who deeply followed Christ in the midst of Nazi Germany, even to the point of death:
Discipleship means adherence to Christ, and, because Christ is the object of that adherence, it must take the form of discipleship.
An abstract Christology, a doctrinal system, a general religious knowledge on the subject of grace or on the forgiveness of sins, render discipleship superfluous, and in fact they positively exclude any idea of discipleship whatever, and are essentially inimical [or hostile] to the whole conception of following Christ.
With an abstract idea it is possible to enter into a relation of formal knowledge, to become enthusiastic about it, and perhaps even to put it into practice; but it can never be followed in personal obedience.
Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

« All my families | Home | Behind the scenes… literally »
By Sierra L. | October 14, 2012
Time with the Academy of Arts has flown by! A month ago the interns were split into two teams, and a couple of weeks ago my team put on our first production: Solus.
The story revolved around a sibling group of three – Leonora, the eldest sister, Kiran, the middle brother, and Jalin, the youngest sister – and Jalin's friend Orlo. Their parents were lost to the Light, and all three reacted differently. Kiran grew angry and defiant toward Light, while Leonora searched for an alternate, false light to protect her. Jalin sank into depression. In the drama, Orlo and Jalin are rescued out of darkness and despair by the Light.
I was blessed to play the part of Jalin, while my team members Melissa, Jonah, and Stephen played Leonora, Kiran, and Orlo. Solus is the production we will be putting on when we go on seminar this fall. What is seminar? That's when a team travels to a high school or home school group and ministers to the students while teaching them how to put on a professional production in a week.
My team just got home from our first seminar yesterday, and I'll be posting about what that was like later this week when I get pictures from our team leader.
Meanwhile, here are some pictures from Solus. Enjoy!

Admit it – you've been known to harbor perfectionist tendencies on occasion. A touch of Type A personality here and there never hurt anyone, but there are only so many times you can reformat your résumé. So put away your rainbow highlighters and set aside that stack of itemized lists for a moment to brush up on a skill you may think you mastered long ago: mascara application. Because as you very well know, there is always room for improvement. The proof is in these eight pro tricks that will have you applying mascara better than you ever imagined possible.
#1) "Apply mascara on the bottom lashes first. Then apply mascara on the upper lashes, but start from the inside corner. I place the brush to the lid, curl the brush downward, then pull the brush upward." – Freelance Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis
#2) "Always go vertical and then flip horizontal to really get every lash and make them full." – Celebrity Makeup Artist Elle Leary
#3) "Look down at the mirror to do the top lashes and you won't get mascara everywhere." – Celebrity Makeup Artist Elle Leary
#4) "Don't lift the brush straight up; slightly lean it towards your eyelid to curl the lashes. Then brush up and out, towards the outer corner of the eye. This will create a more open, winged out effect." – Professional Makeup Artist Megan Lanoux
#5) "Start from the root of your lashes and wiggle upwards. Wiggling your mascara wand through your lashes will give your wand that tight fit up against every lash." – Celebrity Makeup Artist Tiffany Hall-Scarmana
#6) "Gently press on the eyelid to pop out the lashes to get as close to the lash line as possible when applying mascara." – Professional Makeup Artist Gabriel Almodovar
#7) "Bend the brush so you can get a better angle when applying." – Professional Makeup Artist Gabriel Almodovar
#8) "The biggest mistake women make is not conditioning their lashes prior to the application. Lancôme Cils Booster XL is the number one product to condition, strengthen and hydrate the lashes. One coat in the morning before mascara application and then one coat at night before going to bed will make your lashes healthy and silky." – Lancôme National Makeup Artist Ricardo Costales
What's your go-to mascara for show-stopping lashes? Tell us below!

Use a quality mascara! My fave right now is most definitely 3D fiber lash by Younique! Use your lash comb as the wand instead of the traditional wand! Check out this awesome tutorial by Wayne Goss! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w-B-_7q6NI
My tip is, you shouldn't use waterproof mascara for an every day mascara. It will suffocate your lashes, and you also cause damage trying to get the mascara off of your lashes at the end of the day.
Very useful tips. Never realized how much brushing towards your eyelids can affect the outcome of your lash curl.
I have read the articles, but will I remember? probably not and I cant copy it since I need ink cartridges an I have been telling my husband to get me some, ,but not yet. I am disabled thus no driving permitted, i love all your techniques and I have a question. I am blond headed yes, even at 65 and maybe a little help from my hairdresser, so what color do I use for my brows. they are blond and brown o just not quite sure o the color for that or my eyeliner. please let me know, thanks, barbara
Barbara B,
You could always copy and paste the articles that you want to keep handy into a Word Document. Then when you husband gets you some ink cartridges you will have them in a folder on your computer and then all you have to do is PRINT AWAY.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to examine whether vilazodone attenuates the memory and mood effects of corticosteroids on the human hippocampus in 18 healthy controls.
Memory Impairment
Drug: Vilazodone
Drug: Placebo
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)

|Official Title:
|Vilazodone for Corticosteroid-Induced Memory Impairment
- The primary outcome measure will be change in declarative memory as assessed by the RAVLT (Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test) from baseline. [ Time Frame: 19 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- A secondary outcome will be change in mood as measured by the ISS (Internal State Scale) from baseline. [ Time Frame: 19 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|December 2012
|Study Completion Date:
|April 2014
|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Vilazodone
vilazodone titrated to 10 mg x 7 days, 20 mg x 7 days and 40 mg x 5 days (19 days)
Drug: Vilazodone
Participants will be randomized to either vilazodone or placebo titrated as follows: 10 mg x 7 days, 20 mg x 7 days and 40 mg x 5 days.
Other Name: Viibryd
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
placebo, daily for 19 days
|Drug: Placebo
Detailed Description:
In animals and humans, stress and corticosteroid excess are associated with changes in hippocampal structure and functioning. These findings have important implications to the millions of patients taking prescription corticosteroids and to patients with major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder who have elevated cortisol levels and memory impairment. The investigators believe that vilazodone may be a medication that can block the effects of hydrocortisone on the human hippocampus. The investigators propose to examine whether vilazodone attenuates the effects of corticosteroids in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study using a within-subject crossover design.

Tim McGraw's new album, Two Lanes of Freedom, his first for Big Machine Records, is now available. For Tim, one of the biggest differences he experienced while making the album was the excitement of knowing how and when it would be released to his fans.
Read our review of Tim McGraw's Two Lanes of Freedom >>
"Knowing that I was gonna have a cohesive plan with what was gonna happen with my music after we were finished with it," Tim said. "Knowing it wasn't going to sit there for a couple of years and knowing that I was going to make a record that we were able to do something with and plan around it, plan a tour, do all the things that we needed to do to get the most out of my music. That was the biggest thing for me."
Tim is enjoying this new chapter in his career and believes his new music will reflect that. "I sort of came off a dirt road and hit a new gear," he said. "That's what I wanted it to feel like and that's the vibe I wanted this record to have. There's an optimistic and fresh feel to it."
Tim is also giving fans the opportunity to have even more new music by releasing the Accelerated Deluxe Edition of Two Lanes of Freedom. The deluxe edition features three additional songs and a live version of "Truck Yeah."
"There were so many songs and there's still other songs that we just didn't have room for," Tim said. So, it's just trying to find a place to have room for more songs and this was the way to do it. I had them sitting there and we'd worked on them and they were so good and they didn't fit the way we originally wanted the album to flow, so theses were great to add to it."

You know how boring it is to sit through that same announcement every time you board a plane, the one about where the exit rows are and what to do in case of emergency? Well, apparently it's as boring for flight attendants to announce as it is for us to hear. Unless, of course you are the world's coolest flight attendant.
