My nurse practitioner, Deborah Upchurch-Howard, and I would like to assure our patients that we will be remaining in our current location. Despite the moves of many other health care officies, we will not be moving to Midtown or any other location at this time.
Everyone wants religious liberty for themselves, but that does not mean they believe in religious liberty.
Religious liberty exists only when people give to others the same religious freedom they want for themselves.
This recognition should be especially promoted by Christians, for Christ said, "What ever you would that others should do to you, you do the same to them."
HUB customers, beware about paying your utility bill late.
I recently found out that if your bill is not paid by the due date, there is a penalty fee of $10.
If your bill is not paid before your next bill is mailed out, they issue a cut off notice, which, when they deliver it to your house, costs you $20 more.
I would like to offer some thoughts concerning the recent government mandate requiring artificial contraception to be made available through the auspices of the Catholic Church.
First, allow me to offer a brief explanation of the church's position on contraception.
All Christians recognize that God's gift of sexual intimacy has a two-fold purpose.
It is meant to deepen and enrich the love between husband and wife. It is also God's way of allowing us to cooperate with God in the creation of life in accordance with God's will.
The separation of church and state should work both ways.
The government should not be able to influence church doctrine.
Religious institutions should not get to pick the laws they will accept.
To say that forcing employers to provide health insurance, including birth control, somehow violates church rights is ridiculous.
As far as I'm concerned the Obama administration blinked on this one.
The Salvation Army wishes to thank everyone who helped with the bell ringing this year.
We raised $26,171.55, which is a great deal considering the current economy. It will enable us to help many families throughout the coming year. We are once again indebted to Food City in Harriman and Kingston, Kroger and Walmart in Roane County and Darnell's Market, Family Dollar and Sav-A-Lot in Morgan County for letting us locate our kettles at their stores.
Congratulations to Larry Eaton for receiving the Officer of the Year Award!
What a fine man he is and deserving of this award again.
We've known Larry for more than 10 years. He is a kind and caring officer who goes out of his way to assist the residents of Roane County.
Thanks, Larry, for the honorable and compassionate officer and gentleman you are!

The Kingston Rotary Club is a primary sponsor for a program to encourage reading to young children.
This is a worthwhile program.
The Kingston Lions Club endorses the program and congratulates the Rotarians on their endeavor.
It has been well documented that young children who have been read to by their parent(s) excel over children who have not had that attention.
They learn more in school and progress more rapidly. Reading for only 20 minutes seems to do the trick.
On Jan. 8, I shopped in the Rockwood Dollar General Store, and when I left the store I left my purse in the shopping cart.
When I arrived home, approximately 20 minutes after leaving the store, I discovered my mistake.
I immediately called the store and spoke with a clerk, who informed me that a gentleman had found my purse and turned it in.
This month Roane Imagination Library sent "valentines" to 1,780 local children — from birth to age 5.
These greetings were in the form of age-appropriate, quality books delivered to the children's homes.
What better way to tell a child "I love you; I care about you?"
Imagination Library sends books in February and every month of the year.
That means more than 21,000 books in the last 12 months.
Thank you, Roane County!

Joan Rivers resting comfortably after comic stopped breathing during throat surgery
Joan Rivers was resting comfortably Thursday night after being rushed to Manhattan's Mt. Sinai Hospital, reportedly after suffering cardiac or resperatory arrest during an outpatient surgery at a nearby doctor's office.
"I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support for my mother," daughter Melissa Rivers said in statement. "She is resting comfortably and is with our family. We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers."
Melissa had flown from Los Angeles to New York to be by her mother's side, said a spokesperson for E!, which airs Fashion Police.
Emergency medical services personnel brought the veteran stand-up comic and Fashion Police star to the hospital from "a doctor's office on 93rd Street," a building that houses an endoscopy clinic, NYPD Det. Kellyann Ort told the Los Angeles Times.
The 81-year-old had reportedly been undergoing throat surgery, possibly on her vocal cords, when a 911 call was placed describing a person who was either in cardiac or respiratory arrest, said TMZ, which first had the news.
According to E! News, the comic had stopped breathing during surgery and was in critical condition when authorities arrived.
Later, at the hospital, Rivers' assistant, Graham Reed, was overheard saying, "She's not conscious, but she's stable," the New York Daily News reported. An "obviously distraught" Reed would not answer questions, the paper said.
Joan Rivers had showed up "bright and early" on Tuesday morning to tape a 90-minute special edition of Fashion Police with Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopoulos, wrapping up coverage of the Emmy Awards and MTV Video Music Awards, an E! spokesperson said.
The entertainer has logged a half-century in show business and gave rise to red carpet commentary — and the snarky criticism that often accompanies it. Her signature red carpet query: "Who are you wearing?"
She continues to maintain a busy schedule, and was to perform a show Friday at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey. That show was postponed because of her hospitalization.
Rivers spoke at an employee event at Time Inc. in New York on Wednesday night and appeared healthy, practically jogging when she walked in to take her seat, said Shira Blum, an online project manager.
"She seemed totally healthy," Blum said. "She was very energetic, hilarious, funny. And it was such a shock, a surprise to hear the news this morning."
Rivers took questions and said she wakes up every morning and "is thankful that everything works," Blum said.
Aside from hosting of Fashion Police, Rivers also presides over an online talk show, In Bed With Joan and co-stars with daughter, Melissa, on the WEtv reality show, Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?
Her latest book, Diary of a Mad Diva, was released this summer.
A native of New York, Rivers originally entered show business with the dream of a theatrical career, but comedy became a way to pay the bills while she auditioned for acting roles.
"Somebody said, 'You can make six dollars standing up in a club,'" she told the Associated Press in 2013, "and I said, 'Here I go!' It was better than typing all day."
After proving herself in comedy clubs as a rarity — a woman comedian — Rivers was a smash on her first booking on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1965.
"God, you're funny," Carson told her.

London (Sep. 24)
Jews in the White-chapel district of London were thrown into a panic today when a man, as yet unidentified, suddenly appeared in a crowd of men, women and children leaving a synagogue and began to fire a revolver into the air.
Police arriving on the scene immediately after the disturbance began succeeded in disarming the man and took him into custody. They were unable to ascertain the cause of his action. He will be tried tomorrow.

Solstice Forecast 2016
The most recent Solstice took place on June 20th, marked with a rare Full Moon in Sagittarius. This signifies the perfect time for us to become 'archers' and use focus, courage, and persistence in manifesting our biggest dreams and visions for the second half of 2016.
Since March this year, we have all been struck with spells of confusion, exhaustion and scattered energy. You can thank the intense solar flares, two eclipses, and the ongoing retrograde activity in Mercury, Mars, and now Neptune, for some of your most frustrating moments. This planetary non-movement has been forcing us to slow down, prioritize and reassess our lives, to rid it of anything that isn't helping us grow. Look at it as a blessing in disguise!
Once Mars goes direct today, on June 30th, it will release a fire of emotions and aggressive energy which are going to increase as we move closer to November. With two Full Moons in Sagittarius, back to back, we are being given the opportunity to change our world by removing the old, outdated ways of existing and replacing it with fresh, forward thinking. Read the rest of this entry »
The Planets Affect Us In Fascinating Ways
Few people believe that the planetary movements have an effect on their fortune, health and life events. Oh, how wrong they are.
Most people acknowledge the fact that the Moon and Sun direct the oceans, but they ignore links between the planets and human behavior and well-being.
Here is a list of just ten fascinating ways in which the planets affect us:
1. Surgery at the time of a Full Moon carries a much greater risk of severe bleeding
2. More babies are conceived under a waxing Moon
3. Sun spots interfere with communication equipment
4. Tree sap rises under a waxing or full Moon Read the rest of this entry »

SharePoint Teams?
We've talked about introducing SharePoint Governance and now we want to focus on the people part. The nature of any dynamic environment is a mixture between short terms (day-to-day) and long terms (strategy and vision). There should be a clear separation between strategical actions (where to go) and Tactical actions (How to do). SharePoint environments will be managed by two teams: a strategy team and a tactical team. Regardless of what name we ascribe to these teams, they will play distinct roles and have distinct responsibilities. For the purposes of this governance plan, the teams are defined as shown below.
Strategy Team
This team consists of appropriate business owners willing to provide strategic insight and direction for the portal, and able to drive strategic initiatives into their respective organizations. Resources represent a good balance between business and IT, and also centralized control vs. decentralized empowerment. This team is a small, living team reconstructed on a quarterly basis with new volunteers to maintain a fresh perspective on the business and exploit the collective wisdom of the company.
They would seek answers to the following:
- How do we improve business processes and how do we deliver on that?
- What structures need to be in place to deliver this value?
- What areas of the business offer the most opportunity for growth?
- How can we align our activities with the goals of the business?
- Are there synergies that can be created between divisions and departments?
- What groups are doing similar initiatives and how can we help?
- What ways can we reduce inefficiencies and duplication?
Tactical Team
The tactical team consists of three sub teams all charged with supporting the directives of the strategy team: Operations, Support, and Development. The figure below shows the relationship between the operation and the solution building handover. This will help to understand what are the reasons of dividing the teams into these three teams.
Operations Team
Infrastructure (IT) resources provide operational support for the system as they help to ensure the enforcement of the governance plan and manage the more routine maintenance of the system by performing nightly backups, usage monitoring and analysis, scheduled task validation, and keeping the system current with security releases and system upgrades.
This team will be responsible for:
Backup: This will include SharePoint, IIS and SQL.
Monitoring: System and Services
Security and System Updates: such as service packs and SharePoint cumulative updates.s
Software Installations and Deployment: such as I-filters, adapters, and drivers.
Support Team
SharePoint site owners, plant system administrators, help desk personnel, and other various support resources create an effective support system with proper channels of escalation for end users of the SharePoint environments. This team handles application questions, bugs, and other problems requiring issue resolution.
Development Team
Technically talented people both willing and able to customize, personalize, and use SharePoint in a manner that fulfils the business opportunities as identified by the strategy team. This team is a loosely-knit community of developers with varying degrees of proficiency in software development. Members can range from highly skilled programmers to technically savvy end users in charge of personalizing departmental team sites. Skilled developers will handle large change requests, new features, and program management while ensuring adherence to standards.

This is such a classic combination of flavors but also wonderful in the summer when the strawberries are full of flavor. ENJOY!!!
A great way to start your day!!

CONOR Clifford is out to make a real name for himself with Southend United this season.
The Irish midfielder captained Chelsea to FA Youth Cup success as a youngster but has since struggled to establish himself in the senior ranks.
The 22-year-old has made just 33 starts in the past four seasons with seven different clubs.
But he has kicked off the new League Two campaign in impressive fashion.
And Clifford is eager to again impress when the Shrimpers host Stevenage at Roots Hall tomorrow.
"I've worked hard to get in the team and now I don't want to let this shirt go," said Clifford.
"I finally feel like I've found a home being at Southend now. I get on well with the manager and the lads and I want to get this club promoted this season."
Clifford aims to play a key part in that happening too as he strives to show the promise he showed as a youngster.
As a teenager, he scored the winning goal to help Chelsea beat Aston Villa and win the FA Youth Cup for the first time in 49 years.
But Clifford felt it would have been virtually impossible to rise through the ranks at Stamford Bridge.
"It's really tough, you have to be an absolute world beater and sometimes even that's not good enough," he recalled.
"They have so many players and I think last season they had 24 or 25 out on loan.
"I think it's best to go out and play in games that matter.
"That's what I did but this is a very important year for me.
"I need to play as many games as I can and make sure I'm doing well for the team."
With that in mind, Clifford worked tirelessly during his summer break to ensure he reported back for pre-season in great shape.
The midfielder took just a two week break from fitness work and hired his own personal trainer to ensure he was in the best possible condition.
"I worked hard with the personal trainer and came back in really good shape," said Clifford.
"I feel I've got the momentum now but I need to keep going and stay in the side."
Clifford's next opportunity to impress will come against Stevenage at Roots Hall tomorrow.
But the midfielder is expecting another real test against Graham Westley's team.
"It will be a tough game because they are known to be strong, fit and physical," said Clifford.
"However, I think we can get the three points and hopefully get a bit of a run together.

DRAPER — In a battle between Salt Lake Valley's two Catholic high schools, Juan Diego's Cody Berg rushed for 80 yards and Nathan Elorreaga threw for one touchdown and ran for another as the Soaring Eagle posted a 21-7 Region 11 win over Judge Memorial.
"We're 2-0 in region and you can't beat that," said Juan Diego coach John Colosimo. "Our defense really came to play."
More importantly, the defense didn't let Judge play — much. Led by guys like Bryson Pitcher and Eric Heinz, the Soaring Eagle spent a lot of time in Judge's backfield, recording nine sacks, and limiting its rival to 161 total yards.
Judge also had trouble with turnovers, committing two (an interception and a fumble) early in the game that resulted in points. The loss dropped Judge to 2-3 overall and 0-2 in region. It was the team's third straight defeat.
"We're not giving up," said Judge coach James Cordova. "We made some progress with our team tonight."
The progress, however, came later. Juan Diego, meanwhile, grabbed a 21-0 lead within the first seven minutes of the game. In fact, on the game's second play, Elorreaga electrified the home crowd when he connected with Oliver Weight on a 65-yard touchdown pass.
And Juan Diego seized the momentum.
One play later, Cayden Sanchez intercepted Judge quarterback James Delacenserie and Berg eventually scored on a 1-yard run to make it 14-0.
Sanchez later recovered a fumble at the Judge 10-yard line and it took Juan Diego just one play before Elorreaga scampered into the end zone. Most of the crowd figured a rout was in the making.
Except for a quarterback sack that was inches from being a safety, that would be the last of Juan Diego's highlights. That concerned Colosimo, whose offense was bottled up by Judge's defense after that, and also hurt itself with penalties.
"It was frustrating that we couldn't do anything more after that," he said. "We need to learn to be more consistent on the offensive side."
Cordova, meanwhile, tried to spark his team by replacing Delacenserie with Daniel Shiramizu, and the senior did his best to rally the team. Shiramizu was a one-man show, but had success using his speed to get past the Juan Diego pass rush.
While Shiramizu was exciting (16 carries, 27 yards and 89 yards passing), he couldn't lead the team to a score until the game's final minutes.
Juan Diego had emptied its bench and was attempting to run out the clock. However, a fumble on the snap was recovered by Judge and gave the team one more chance.
With fans for both teams cheering for their squads, Judge took advantage of a Juan Diego fumble and ended its scoring drought when Christian Weidle made a nice move to get open and Shiramizu found him on a 26-yard scoring pass.
"Shiramizu really gave us a lift, especially with his legs," Cordova said.
It was too little, too late, but it made the game exciting until the final seconds.

TO: She almost missed the swim start!
TD: That's the smartest way to do it – she was really smart. You could go have a great race in Kona, then just check mark an ironman out of the way. Then focus on doing some early season half's, get all the points you need. Hopefully you'll win Kona and then you won't have to worry about that – all you'll have to do is check the box, and then you can focus on next year. The guys who've won it the past five years have a huge advantage. All they've got to do is get an ironman done – it's a huge advantage.
TO: Do you think they'll reevaluate the points system?
TD: Who knows? I think it was a terrible system to being with, and I think a lot of pros voiced that, but they didn't care. Like I said, I think the biggest impact – I mean I like the idea of getting the best athletes there, but I think you're going to see a lot of careers cut short, a lot of athletes burning out. You're not going to get the best athletes at Kona.
TO: Do you think the smaller field will change the dynamic at all?
TD: No. It's just going to get the guys out of the girls' field. You'll get the same guys up front.
TO: Having only done one, what's the biggest difference I need to look out for in Kona?
TD: The hype leading into it. Depending on when you get over there and everything that's going on. Sticking to your game plan. Turn your Internet off once you get over there. Watch bad movies or bad TV. Turn your Internet off. Don't read anything. Focus on yourself. It's not as big a deal as you think. You can just totally avoid it and treat it like a great race. Your first time, that's what you need to do. Who knows what the hype around you will really be over there, but with Rinny, you're going to see what she's going through, and you'll be like: I'm going to stay at home and watch some TV! And don't feel bad about it – because that's the way you get it done. Also, I think what you'll notice is it might be more – think of that word "strong". Strong on the bike and the run, more than fast. For me it was always just strong. I'd go do Austria or Frankfurt, and that was fast. Fast man, we were flying! But Kona, you just have to be strong. Mentally strong and physically strong. Constantly shoveling food down your mouth. And don't get too skinny. That's the thing I've noticed the past few years – I get over there and I look like a teeny guy, compared to most of the guys. I mean look at Marino. Look at Macca. These are big dudes. I felt like I should put on weight. But it's hard, the more you do, the more years you race it's hard to put the weight on. But whatever you do, just be strong over there.
TO: I remember you said before Texas, "It's your first one, just have fun." I guess it's the same with your first Kona.
TD: Well you only get one first one!
TO: Yeah, that's the one you remember the most.
TD: Exactly. Have fun with it. Nicole taught me that. She'd say, "Just smile. If you're feeling rough, smile." It makes everything better. I mean I had a shitty race last year, but I smiled a lot more than I ever have over there. That's what made it a worthwhile day. Every picture you see of Macca he's out there smiling away, grinning ear to ear. So there's got to be something to that. Just have fun with it. And it will change you. You'll want to do it again. No matter whether you cross the finish line first or last, it's such a great accomplishment. It feels good.
TO: Thanks Tim. I appreciate it, man.
TD: Thank you.

m (Essi moved to Father-name over redirect: moved it until a source for essi is provided)
Revision as of 23:19, 31 October 2009
This article or section needs more/new/more-detailed sources to conform to a higher standard and to provide proof for claims made.
The Father-name was the name given to an Elf at or near birth by his or her father. It is part of the essë, or naming, of High Elves, along with the amilessë ("mother-name") and epessë ("after-name" or honorific). The father-name was often the the primary name of an Elf until he or she chose an epessë.
An example is Finrod Felagund, whose father-name was Findaráto ("[Golden-]Haired Champion") and epessë was Felagund ("Hewer of Caves"). The name Finrod is the Sindarin version of his father-name.

Primasurge is the best rated testosterone booster on the market right now – and it's surprisingly effective. In this guide, we're going to examine the key features of the product, so you'll soon discover why this is such a popular option. With this in mind, let's begin.
Based on the user reviews on popular retailers such as Amazon, this product rates very highly. With an average score of 4.7 out of 5.0 based on almost 150 reviews at the time of writing, it's one of the best reviewed testosterone supplements you can buy.
Interestingly, the product also comes with a full 30 day money back guarantee which just goes to show how confident the manufacturers are that the product will work for you. Of course, very few people have taken the company up on this guarantee, because the results tend to speak for themselves.
So what sort of ingredients can you expect to see in this product? Primarily, the formula relies on ingredients like Ashwagandha and Boron, which are proven to be effective testosterone boosters. This is an excellent alternative to the typical testosterone boosters which focus on ingredients like Tribulus and D-Aspartic acid, which have actually be disproven as effective testosterone boosters by recent studies and research.
The results of this formula are very useful if you're looking to improve your strength in the gym, or perhaps increase your mental focus and clarity. These kind of benefits can be fantastic for guys who are aiming to improve themselves in the gym, or even in their personal life.
Overall, it's clear to see why primasurge is the best rated testosterone booster currently available. Thanks to a powerful non proprietary blend of proven test boosting ingredients, along with reasonable prices and positive reviews – it's easy to recommend this is as the top supplement to try if you want to boost your testosterone levels safely.

Medicaid spending slows across US
Total Medicaid spending increases for fiscal year 2012 marked a near-record low, according to a new survey from Health Management Associates, the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured and the Kaiser Family Foundation
According to the survey, Medicaid spending across the nation increased just 2 percent in 2012, less than the 2.2 percent states had budgeted for and below the rates in 2009 to 2011, which exceeded 7 percent. Spending is projected to increase 3.8 percent in 2013, which the survey says would still be one of the three lowest rates of growth in total Medicaid spending in the past 15 years.
Enrollment growth also was down; the 3.2 percent recorded in 2012 was the lowest since 2008, and 2013 is expected to be even lower at 2.7 percent.
The survey attributed the low rates to two factors: An improving economy and "intense state efforts to mitigate the increase in state spending driven by the expiration of enhanced federal matching payments."
Forty-eight states instituted at least one new policy to control costs, with the most common being limits on provider payments, benefits and strategies to control prescription drug spending.
Pennsylvania enhanced its online application process, applied existing eligibility policies more rigorously, eliminated endodontic services, limited dentures to one per lifetime and limited dental cleanings to two per year.
Eligibility levels remained stable in most states, according to the survey, and in many states Medicaid programs are changing their delivery systems via managed care reform or care coordination strategies.

MP3 question
When I rip a CD and then rename a track (adding a date for example), when playing back that track with Windows Media Player or my MP3 player the display reverts back to the original (unmodified) name.
Can anyone tell me why please and what can I do to get the modified lable to become visible ?

The player is reading the "tags" not the file name. Tags are information added onto the file that are independent to the actual music or file name. A tag editor will allow you to change the tags to the information you desire, and you will see the change in your player. There are countless tag editors out there, many free. Google will find you many. Personally, I use DB Power Amp, a multi-purpose audio tool, but it's not free.

You don't need any software to do this. Just right-click the mp3 file, choose Properties, then Details, and then add the Values necessary so that these will be reflected in Windows Media Player.
PS Ignore above if it doesn't solve problem.

However, the best solution is as Zoloft suggests, download a tag editor. I did, and I prefer the free one called Windows Media Player Tag Editor Plus version 2.5. Since then, I have no problems at all. It works like the old Media Player 11 Advanced Tag Editor.Take care. Cheers. Ken.

Also, MP3tag ,is a tag editor that is really good, it can also rename files from the tag if you choose.
Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...)
however, if you want to save time then also use winamp,
when you have a ripped cd with the file names track 1, track 2 etc
then opening it in winamp and highlight all the tracks in the now playing field right click them and click send to/auto tag.
This will download all the meta tags for the tracks.
then once done you can open the folder in mp3tag and click the tag to filename.
this then saves you typing all the tracks in the folder.
usually the tag to file will show tracknumber, album ,artist,year etc but you can change the order .i have mine set to track number ,trackname and artist.
it may sound a bit complicated at a glance but when you actually do it its easy after a few times
it has saved me hours of editing folder file names.

Clean energy companies had been pioneering the market in the US for many years.
Companies like Solar City have had an staggering growth ever since they obtained an IPO from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company has defied the odds to be the national leader in clean energy services and has been a choice for many Fortune 500 companies, schools, cities and for homeowners. Currently, the company serves above 141,000 customers across the US and has a record of 1,700 completed commercial and government projects. The company employs local installers to enhance fast delivery of services and also to develop the local economy. They have about 65 operation centers.
Solar City is the brainchild of Lyndon and Peter Rive. The company has grown from 2 to 7,000 employees within a period of 7 years. Their business model is unique in one way; unlike other companies that eyes new clean energy technologies, the company has improved the existing solar city solar ambassador program. This way, they have been able to garner trust from the masses and grown their customer base.
More About The Solar City Solar Ambassador Program
Solar City provides renewable energy directly to businesses, institutions, government and to homeowners for a price cheaper than they spend paying utility bills. They have done this through a "pay as you use" payment model. In this model, the company installs and maintains the solar power systems on lease (SolarLease program).
This cuts on the huge upfront payment that the user would otherwise have incurred. The panels with produce power and any excess power will be sold back to the local utility. The goal of the company is to have the user save money from the use of less power from the local electricity power company and offset the lease payments (Solar PPA Program).
PowerGuide An Innovation Of Solar City
The system simply helps customers get real-time data on their energy consumption and also carbon footprint through simple, easy to read graphical displays. The monitoring system by Solar City collects, monitors and finally displays critical performance data about the energy production level, energy usage, local weather and environmental benefits.
Another system offered by Solar City is DreamLogic.
DreamLogic utilizes Telsa Motors technology and allows solar energy users to store energy. The system uses algorithms and the data from the solar power systems to reduce demand during peak periods.
Solar City's business model has worked. This has been aided greatly by the drop in the prices of solar panels. The high supply of cheap solar panels from Asia has worked for Solar City by seeing a drop of 50 percent in solar panel prices. This, however, has seen many solar panel manufacturers go bankrupt. They have been able to garner thousands of customers due to the reduction in huge upfront payments and their innovative technological tools that helps their customers monitor energy production and usage as well as store surplus energy.
Being the largest solar power installer in the country gives the company an edge over other companies. Nevertheless, they compete with conventional power plants. Their only hitch will be when the government cuts subsidies on solar panel systems. To the customers, Solar City services are awesome; their customer support is unrivaled.

Pamela Akinson is an elder in the Presbyterian Church, a nurse, a hospital administrator and a mother. Though she more than has her hands full, Atkinson always makes time to volunteer among Utah's poorest people. For the last twenty years Atkinson has been a tireless advocate and friend to Utah's homeless men and women.
Atkinson's sympathy for the homeless and disenfranchised is born of her personal experiences with poverty. Raised by a single mother in England, Akinson knew the ache of hunger. "There was never enough to eat. We lived in an awful, awful mouse-infested house with an outside toilet," she told Lois Collins of the Deseret News in December 2010. "When she took a paper route, all the money went to support the family. At age 15, other girls made fun of her clothes. When she went to a friend's home, she saw things her own lacked, like a table at which to study and indoor plumbing," noted Collins.
Atkinson's in depth experience with the homeless face makes her an expert adviser for local and national governments. Governor Gary Herbert, for example, relies on Atkinson's advice on a number of issues, according to KSL. Of her he said: "Pamela Atkinson's humanitarian service is legendary. She leads by example. She is the personification of the scriptural admonition to 'love thy neighbor as thyself.' Our state is a better place because Pamela calls Utah home."
In her years of humanitarian service Atkinson has learned important lessons about how to be effective. She recently sat down with author Devin Thorpe for Forbes.com to share some of her insights about service:
Small Things Make A Difference: Over the years, Atkinson has learned that "it doesn't always have to be huge," wrote Thorpe. Some times the things homeless people lack are simple socks, underwear and hygiene items. Atkinson told Thorpe that she once arrived at the home of a low income family to find they had no hot water, no soap and no shampoo. Atkinson gave the family a hygiene kit she had in her car. She recounted the joy that little bar of soap brought her friends.
Everyone Can Do Something: While speaking about the importance of service Atkinson she was once challenged by a woman who said, "I'm 80 years old, I rarely get out of the house and I have a limited income, how can I make a difference?" Atkinson challenged her to donate a can of soup to the food bank each week. She took the challenge and for several years thereafter, she did just that, ultimately providing hundreds of meals for people who otherwise might have gone hungry.

5 Reasons to Stop the Spankings
The spanking debate is one that always sends sparks flying on Circle of Moms, and it was no different when member Gloria S. asked whether there are ever "circumstances when spanking a child over age five is warranted." Do moms who spank generally decide to stop when their kids reach a certain age?
Some Circle of Moms members who spank insist that spanking remains necessary during the grade school years — for certain types of children. Michelle R., a mom of four who spanks all of her kids, including her 11-year-old, explains: "Every child is different, so if you know that you can go to your child and verbally reprimand them and it is effective, then you don't need to spank that child. . . . My oldest son still gets a spanking because I know that is the ONLY way that I can get through to him when he has disobeyed. . . .You must do what you know is best for your children. I was spanked as a child and it worked back then and it still works today."
Still, many Circle of Moms members, including Sandra S., believe very strongly that children should never be spanked, no matter their ages or the circumstances. Here are the reasons why Sandra and others believe spanking is an inappropriate form of discipline for kids once they hit the grade school years. (For another perspective, read Why I Spanked.)
1. Spanking is hitting
Many Circle of Moms members believe spanking is wrong in the same way that it is wrong for adults to hit each other. "Let's call a spade a spade," says Teal R. "Hitting a child is wrong. As wrong as if your husband hit you, or you hit an animal. Discipline means to teach, not to hit. Spanking is an emotional minefield. It's cruel, mean, unkind, spiteful, violent and never, ever necessary. . . .Why would I trust someone who is supposed to love and keep me safe if they hit me? I have never respected anyone who hits another person."
2. Spankings humiliate older kids
Though numerous Circle of Moms members feel that a gentle spank on the bottom can be effective for younger children, when children get older, spanking can be especially humiliating and have a lasting impact on self esteem. Kimberly B. explains: "Spankings were only effective for me when my children were very young and these were spankings to prevent them from harming themselves or others. After that point it was all about punishments or rewards, because as they get older, the message we are sending children is that we are hitting them." Rebecca J. agrees: "I think that spanking should stop when your child hits puberty," she says.
Many Circle of Moms members who do spank avoid doing it in public — for kids of any age — for this reason. As Melissa T. explains, "No one likes to be humiliated. I don't judge people who do spank their children, as long as they don't do it in public or in front of other people, because then you are humiliating and belittling your child. . . some people could consider that emotional abuse."
3. Spanking instills unnecessary fear
Many Circle of Moms members maintain spanking is too harsh of a punishment and provokes unnecessary fear in children — fear that can backfire. "As a child and youth counselor and mother, I would recommend some other alternatives to spanking," says Kalloosit D. "Spanking is just a glorified [and] physical method of instilling fear in the child." Other Circle of Moms members, including Teal R. and Kathy S., who were both spanked as children, say it permanently damaged their relationships with their parents. Teal shares that her parents' insistence on spankings cost them her "respect, love and trust;" Kathy that she "lost respect" for hers.
4. Spanking teaches that violence is okay
Many Circle of Moms members, including Katherine C., believe that spanking demonstrates a lack of emotional control on the part of the parents. "It's just a form of corporal punishment showing power. A child is supposed to learn from you. What do they learn from this? Violence. I'll admit I have gotten angry and done it, but then cried because I felt so terrible. Hurting does not teach or guide. It just shows a lack of emotional control. It makes you feel terrible."
5. There are more effective ways to discipline
Many moms say spanking is often a reactive, poorly thought out punishment, and that there are other, more effective ways to discipline older kids, such as grounding or removal of privileges. As Circle of Moms members Betty J. says, "Time outs work fine for me. They take a little more time but it's worth it when it means teaching your children right from wrong. When I do the time outs I just sit her in a designated area and give her time to calm down."
And Kathy S. explains it this way: "I really believe that spanking is the easy way out. Proper discipline (teaching, guiding) is hard. It's hard, but so worth it. I get so tired of the argument that if you don't spank them you'll lose your authority and they'll run wild . . . My three kids were never hit. They are now beautiful, gentle, well-balanced young women."
What do you do to discipline an older child effectively and without spanking?

Review of New Super Mario Brothers 2
So if you've been keeping up with my blog you'll have an understanding of my review format. If not here's how it goes. I usually review a game based on sound, graphics, story, gameplay, and replayablity. Since this is a Mario game I'm changing the format a bit since there is no story, and no real reason to mention the graphics and sound because they almost never change.
Gameplay: The gameplay in this game is just like the previous installment New Super Mario brothers. It is the same 2D side scrolling Mario, and it has the same 6 words with 2 secret worlds you can find. This one also adds a 3rd secret world after you beat the game. Overall the gameplay is good because it's Mario it has the same elements that make every Mario game enjoyable; however, it is also a little disappointing because it really is the same exact stuff all over again. Nintendo used to be able to create a Mario game that makes you feel like you're playing Mario for the first time with each game, but lately I'm getting that feeling less and less. With this game I didn't get it at all. So what I am saying is if you enjoyed the gameplay of previous Mario games then you will like this one, but if you have played those games then you will also be let down by the lack of individuality the gameplay has.
Coins: Because this game takes the focus on collecting 1,000,000 coins I figured I would bring up the fact that the game has more coins in one level than whole worlds in previous games. The fact that there are so many coins and the challenge set out to gain so many does add a little to the game because usually I just ignore some of the coins and get them when I feel like it, but this one I felt compelled to grab them as often as I can which did make an interesting twist to the game. The Coin Rush mode was my favorite part though by bringing up three random levels and making you get as many coins as you can in the time limit and being able to use streetpass to compare results with others is a very nice idea. I felt like this aspect made this a very interactive Mario game and really takes advantage of Streetpass well. For the drawbacks see the difficulty section of this review and I will explain the problems I had with the coins.
Co-op Mode: This mode is a lot of fun but it really is just playing the game with a friend. It makes for interesting gameplay, but honestly it gets old fast. That's really all I have to say about it is that it's fun just not attention grabbing.
Difficulty: Not very difficult. I mean this game was just flat out easy. The coins were the major factor in the lack of difficulty in the game. By the end of world one I had well over 30 lives and it got to the point where everytime I found a 1 up mushroom I was upset. Seriously when a game gets so easy that an extra life is a disappointment that's not a good sign. I did not fear death in this game at all. Mario is a game known for requiring exact timing and precision. This game is not different, but because of all the lives there was no incentive to care if you mess up. It is actually more difficult to get a game over on this game than to complete the levels because there are times where it takes just seconds to gain a life. This is why I am so glad I did not pay for this game myself. If you are wanting this game because you are a Mario fan I suggest you get it but do NOT pay full price for it because it's just not worth it. I know I liked this game but I sound like I'm harping and I am because I believe this is the worst Mario game of all time. I play Mario for a challenge and this game did not give it to me. Even the special world you get after you beat the game was easy. I always love the special worlds because they are a challenge unlike any other in the game, I felt like this would have made a good world 5 for this game instead. So overall difficulty, what difficulty?
Length of Play: If you're just trying to beat the game, about 5 hours. If you want to find all the extras worlds and stuff 6 maybe 7. If you're wanting to get the 1 million coins then you're going to be playing awhile.
Replayability: None, honestly there is none because if you want to keep playing after you beat the game more than likely you'll be going for the 1 million coins. If you play it that long to get there I'm sure you've played the levels enough that you are sick of them by that point. I haven't reached them myself but I have beaten the game and unlocked every world and I haven't reached 30,000 yet if that tells you anything.
Overall: It was fun, but honestly nothing to be excited for. There are many other games out there that just came out that are a lot more entertaining so I'd put this on the bottom of the list till it goes down in price.

During Mental Health Month, Our Kids Media is featuring a series of articles to raise awareness about depression, anxiety, suicide and other forms of mental illness — and how we can help save our children.
Mental illness indirectly affects all Canadians at some time through a family member, friend or colleague. This illness impacts our youth early and often. We know that 50 per cent of all psychological disorders emerge before 14 years of age, 75 per cent before age 24. Fully one in four transitioning youth (15-20) will face a diagnosable mental health problem. So the problem is serious, very serious.
The Jack Project is the legacy of my son Jack Windeler who in March 2010, as a first-year student at Queen's University, tragically and unexpectedly died by suicide. Jack asked that no fuss be made of his passing, but to help others in need, our family has kick-started the Jack Windeler Memorial Fund and partnered with Kids Help Phone and the Mental Health Commission of Canada in a national program to help our transitioning youth. The mission of The Jack Project (www.TheJackProject.org) is to support our youth as they transition from late high school into their years of college, university or independent living, helping them to achieve and sustain their optimal mental health.
How can we make a difference?
We're developing a relevant, comprehensive, effective online support system for youth in transition. This includes interlinking key youth-oriented and youth-servicing partners together in a coordinated online support system to pioneer e-mental health technologies in Canada. We'll invest in online chat and mobile applications linking teens and young adults to the trained professionals at Kids Help Phone.
Working with leading Canadian mental health organizations, we're aiming to develop a comprehensive, effective and inclusive mental health Model of Care and best practices Toolbox for transitioning teens and young adults, as well as their peers, community members and caregivers across secondary and postsecondary educational environments. Ideally, this Model of Care will become a National Standard. We'll build on action taken at Queen's University, expanding an outreach campaign to reach 300 high schools and 30 colleges/universities within 24 months.
How can you help? Follow our story. Spread the word. Donate to help us help more youth. Most important, ACT! Join in the conversation about mental health with your family and friends. Start to really, really talk. Put your own "mental health family tree" on paper. Discuss it with your kids like you would any physical health issues that have impacted your family. Get involved with this No. 1 health challenge our youth face. Talking and acting will reduce the stigma that is in all of us and begin the process of lasting change . . . helping those like Jack who are suffering in silence get the help they need.
[After his son's suicide, Eric Windeler founded TheJackProject.org, with a mission to inspire a national culture of informed compassion and care for emerging adults suffering from mental illness.]

"Leftie" is not an issue...
with a"rightie" 870 - I just had a gunsmith install a "leftie" safety in my two 870 Wingmasters, and shoot them off my left shoulder. I never have any trouble with ejected hulls hitting me. The new safety buttons are oversized, so they are easier to find by just feeling for them with your trigger finger.
My Wingmasters (a 12 ga, 2 3/4 inch chamber, and a 20 ga Lightweight Magnum, 3 inch chamber) have such beautiful wood stocks and highly polished blue metal finishes that I could just sit and look at them for hours.
My 870's make me a happy camper!
Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be but a vulgar brawl.

Alaska Air Group (NYSE:ALK) posted strong growth in its revenue and earning in the third quarter on higher passenger traffic. Backed by a stable demand environment the airline raised its capacity and held its passenger fares steady to generate higher overall passenger revenue. Total revenue increased 6.2% y-o-y to $1.3 billion in the third quarter. [1] In addition, unlike in the first half of 2012 when net income was flat y-o-y as revenue increases were offset by equivalent increases in fuel costs, in the third quarter rose 111% y-o-y to $163 million as fuel costs declined. [1]
Higher passenger traffic drives growth in top line
In Alaska's markets, the U.S., Canada and Mexico, demand for flights is increasing. To take advantage of this, Alaska raised its capacity by 6.8% y-o-y in the third quarter. This enabled a 7.2% y-o-y growth in its passenger traffic. [1] The carrier also held its passenger fares steady indicated by nearly flat levels of passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM). As a result, the total passenger revenue increased 6.9% y-o-y to $1.1 billion for the carrier. [1]

- What Can We Expect From Alaska Air's Q2 Earnings?
- How Did Alaska Airlines Perform Operationally In May?

Net income rises as fuel prices hold steady on a y-o-y basis
Jet fuel costs accounts for nearly 30% of total operating costs and is the largest single expense and so its decline in the third quarter on hedging gains helped profits. The carrier benefited from $21 million in mark-to-market adjustments arising out of fuel price hedging. As a result, total jet fuel costs declined nearly 20% y-o-y to $337 million in the third quarter. [1] This decline in fuel costs led to a sharp y-o-y rise in net income to $163 million compared to $78 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Replacement of older airplanes with new ones to drive up profitability over the coming years
Alaska also placed an order for 50 Boeing 737s including 37 of Boeing's new fuel efficient 737MAX in the third quarter. The deliveries for this order will start from 2015 through 2024. [2] This will position Alaska well to raise its capacity as well as to replace its aging airplanes to improve on its fuel and maintenance costs over the next decade.
Share repurchase program increases investor confidence
The carrier also announced a $250 million share buyback program. [3] The amount of funds sanctioned equates to around one-tenth the market capitalization of the company. The program which the management expects to be complete by 2014 will send a positive signal to the investor community that the company is confident about its long-term prospects.
All in all, Alaska posted strong growth in its third quarter earnings driven by higher passenger traffic and aided by fuel price hedging. We currently have a stock price estimate of $36.79 for the carrier, marginally below its current market price. We are in the process of incorporating the third quarter earnings and will update our analysis shortly.

Cleveland Street is Sydney's blocked artery
A new report has revealed that Cleveland Street in Surry Hills is the slowest road for Sydney motorists to use during the morning peak hour.
The latest Key Roads Performance Report from the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) shows drivers average just 15 kilometres per hour on Cleveland Street in the morning.
In the evening, it is not much better - with cars crawling along at 18 kilometres an hour in a peak that starts at 3:45pm and goes for three hours.
Opposition Roads spokesman Ryan Park says it is not good enough.
"That's a street that urgently needs to be looked at," he said.
"It's a street that acts as a vital link in Sydney through other multiple roads."
Other thoroughfares with peak hour speeds under 20 kilometres per hour include parts of Old South Head, Lane Cove and Parramatta roads.
The Government says travel times have improved on a number of routes including Bondi Road and the Cumberland Highway since the last report three months ago.

A ceiling fan can provide a cool breeze and circulate the air without the high cost of operating an air conditioner. Your ceiling fan's efficiency depends on getting the right size fan for your room.
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
- Calculator
Use a measuring tape to get the approximate length and width of your room. If the room is not closed off, measure the amount of space you want the ceiling fan to serve.
Calculate the square footage of the room where the ceiling fan will go. Square footage is found by multiplying the length and width.
Choose a ceiling fan with a blade span of 29 to 36 inches for a room that is 75 square feet or smaller.
Look for a ceiling fan that has a blade span of 36 to 42 inches for a room that measures 76 to 144 square feet.
Check out your options for a 44-inch blade span if you have a space between 144 and 225 square feet.
Find a large ceiling fan with a blade span between 50 and 54 inches if it will go in a space of 225 to 400 square feet.
Tips & Warnings
- A 52-inch blade span is the most popular ceiling fan model, according to Energy Star.

Dear Charlie,
I've seen reports that you're on your way back. From blurry satellite images, you seem to be doing fine. The doctors tell me I don't have long to live. Neither do you. Good luck.
Your loving brother,
Mark Sedore's previous entries to the International 3-Day Novel Contest earned him honourable mention and second place, so his win in the 32nd annual contest for his lean, tightly written Snowmen makes him a poster boy for perseverance. But perseverance only pays off in this contest if you've actually got writing chops, and that's an area in which Sedore is certainly not lacking.
Sedore doesn't waste words, yet brilliantly manages to convey the bitter, antagonistic relationship between brothers Charlie and Larry, the two main characters. But bitter as their relationship is, there's a strong sense throughout the novel that it's mostly their fundamental differences in natures that are to blame, not any kind of malicious intent. (Larry is incredibly socially awkward, finding it difficult to engage with people on the simplest levels, while Charlie is your average, well-adjusted guy.) So when Larry gets brain cancer (having already beaten the Big C twice in different parts of his body), any chance at bridging the gap between the brothers vanishes day by day as Larry's mind betrays him.
During a conversation in Larry's back yard, in which Larry tells Charlie about his cancer (his doctor gives him a year or two to live), Larry decides he wants to be the first person to walk alone across the Arctic Circle, from Canada to Russia - now completely frozen after a massive global climate shift. He sees it as his legacy, some way to make a definitive mark on the world. It is also something the boys' father had always wanted to do. But then Larry's cancer advances and he gets too sick to undertake the journey. So Charlie steps in to make the trek on his dying brother's behalf.
Complicating matters is the fact that the woman Larry loves, Sandy, has fallen in love with Charlie, so Larry, even from his sickbed in the hospital, plots to make his brother's Arctic journey a failure - possibly even fatal.
Sedore weaves all these elements easily and with precision, narratively flipping back and forth, chapter to chapter, from the Arctic adventure itself to the events leading up to it. He skillfully fleshes out the characters and their motivations through dialogue and Charlie's first-person narration, revealing precisely enough in each chapter to keep reader interest high. One of the strongest aspects of the novel is that the loneliness and peril of the Arctic trek, as seen through Charlie's eyes, feels natural and understated, never relying on melodrama.
A lesser writer would have taken twice these 170 pages to tell the same story with as much resonance. Through his sparse, economical writing and keen ear for believable dialogue, Sedore unerringly pulls the reader in, making us care about the three main players in the book. We care deeply what happens to them all - even Larry, despite his vindictiveness. Or maybe because of it.
By turns, engaging, gripping, endearing, heartbreaking and funny, this is a fine novel by a talented young writer.
Brett Alexander Savory is a writer, editor and publisher, and the author of In and Down.
