Reflection Point
Project supporters and organizers gathered to give thanks while the Reflection Point cross was being installed Monday on a bluff north of the city near Glover-Daniels Road. The 125 foot tall by 30 foot wide cross is the focal point of Reflection Point, a project that began with a Mayor's Prayer Breakfast announcement in 2011. Constructed of 36-inch pipe but without guy wires, the cross project cost about $150,000. Praying are Booneville Mayor Jerry Wilkins, Ruby Gartman, David Hardin, Shirley Young and Keith Olsen.

Ok guys, so I have been a fan of poems since I was a youngster and I can't help but feel that everyone is a bit ashamed of poetry these days … it is not outdated and certainly not irrelevant at all. So over the last few weeks I have been (for lack of a better word) experimenting and I have found so many exciting constraints and new ways of writing that have opened my eyes and I really wanted to share them with you.
The poem I wrote this week is called 'Smart Warship' and here it is…
Lived land, silly prey.
Sad boy down, soul July.
Light-heartedly, winds not
Clothing repeat – nation's fate.
Up Queer, Rose Hens.
Now ambition by the fire.
Their eyes just crack
Rank, it's due.
Chimpanzee crossing
Father, thee was plenty
Fluttering fine thread
The tree afterwards wood.
Smart Warship.
First thoughts?
That made absolutely no sense, am I right?
Read it again.
Still doesn't make sense?
Well that's the fun of this type of poetry. It is called Cut-Up poetry and you can go about it anyway you like and to be frank it seems like the fun is making it as absurd as possible.
I took an anthology of hundreds of poems, flicked through it and randomly stopped on a page, stabbed a word with a pencil, wrote it down and made a list.
Then I didn't reorder these words, or even add any joining words in. I just gave them a structure!
THEN, I read it a few times. And I made up a meaning… what was my book trying to tell me…something about war? or Chimpanzees? or maybe nothing at all …
Why as humans do we NEED things to make sense? Why are we always looking for meaning in everything? It doesn't need meaning. What we've all forgotten about poetry is why people loved it in the first place. Not because of the metaphorical meanings or the clever forms … it is because people have a love for words and the art you can create with your voice! Why would music and lyrics have become such an important part of the 21st Century… of course it is just a modern, melodic version of poetry.
Even if you think the sound of Cut Up poetry sounds silly I really think its worth a go. Cut up a poem you've written before and reorder it and you might learn something new about yourself! There are so many different ways to experiment with poetry and writing!!!!!!!!!! Please, if nothing else, just give this a try, I've written a few methods you could try below. If any of them come up really funny, stupid or actually quite deep let me see them by posting below 🙂
Cut Up Methods
- Cutting up a poem you wrote or someone else wrote and put it back together in a completely new order
- Take a book / magazine and cut out words and re jiggle them on the table and make a poem out of them ( I have one of these to show you soon from a H&M mag )
- Try random word generators online, that comes up with some good words!
- Try what I did: stabbing words with pencils.

Do you have trouble, when you try to rush the net, moving into position for the first volley? Do you wonder how you should move and where you should be?
If you do, think of the way you played hopscotch as a child. Remember how you'd run, pause, then jump to either side into one of the marked squares on the pavement.
If you're having trouble getting to the net in tennis, pretend there's a hopscotch board painted on the court surface. Do the same things the hopscotch player does when you head toward the net.
Run up quickly toward those imaginary squares. Then pause momentarily as your opponent returns your shot. Decide where the return is going, then move diagonally to that side at once, as a hopscotch player does. That move should put you in position for your first volley.

A few weeks ago I mentioned our car broke down, yeah, well that wasn't the end of it. The crazy thing was acting a bit crazy which was making me a bit nervous. Nothing like getting stranded on the back roads & trying to explain where you are when the nearest landmark is 2 sheep & an alpacca.
One evening when Mr S was suppose to head home on his bike the skies opened up & poured, so he rang home for a lift. Our Blue Beast wouldn't start! I rang him back & said if he wanted a lift he'd have to call a taxi, because mine was broken. We had ourselves a bit of a chuckle over it & the rain let up so he headed home.
After praying the rain would halt long enough for him to get here, I grabbed my computer & decided to really irritate the Big Blue Beast by looking at other cars for sale. While looking I spotted one exactly like what we had, only younger, fewer kilometers on it, & in purple. The purple made me laugh. When Mr S got home I told him I'd found out new car, & he'd love the color.
It really was just a joke, but the more we actually read about the car the less joke-like it was. We even rang the company to find out a little more information & discussed price. They were willing to take our cranky unreliable thing & were going to give us a reasonable sum considering the situation.
That weekend we were sorting out how we'd get the Beast into the city to pick up the new car when we got a message from family that they were in the city. We asked if they'd pop by the car place & take a look at it for us, make sure it was worthy of the price & ran well, etc. Not only did they check it out, they talked the sales fellow down another thousand dollars on the car.
After about fifteen phone calls later they even picked up the Purple People Eater & brought it back to us! Such a huge blessing. The funniest part is that people see the purple car & do a double take. We've had several people ask if we've painted our car because of the color change. It always makes us giggle.
We've had a few people, strangers & friends a like, who've also picked up straight away that our car was a former Cadbury car. Thus it's purple color. Incase your wondering, Cadbury chocolate {bars & other} is not only the Aussie brand of chocolate, it comes in purple boxes. The fact that purple is my favourite color has absolutely nothing to do with it, honest!

Sony readies Walkman assault on iPod Touch
The Walkman to beat all Walkmans?
Watch out, Apple - Sony is rumoured to be on the cusp of unveiling an iPod Touch-style Walkman complete with an OLED display and Wi-Fi.
According to a "trusted inside source" that spoke to website Sony Insider, the Walkman will be the most advanced music, video and photo player ever released by the Japanese electronics giant.
It's thought that the device's display will be a touchscreen and is said to sport a "WQVGA resolution" - which could be anywhere from 384 x 240 upwards.
In addition to Wi-Fi compatibility for full web access, the Walkman is rumoured to be able to link a user's music collection directly to related YouTube videos. If you're listening to Womanizer by Britney Spears, for example, you'll be able to click on a song title and be transported directly through to the song's music video.
A YouTube icon may also appear on the Walkman's main menu, giving you unrestricted access to the site's entire content. Audio podcast feeds could be supported too.
The source said that two capacity options will be available: 16GB and 32GB. In terms of supported audio file formats, users you will probably get MP3, WMA, AAC and PCM capability. Video support is likely to focus on MPEG 4 and WMV, the source claimed.
Other rumoured features include noise-cancellation earphones and an integrated FM radio.
Keep your eyes peeled for a potential Walkman launch at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, next month.

This stance was voiced by Hans van Baalen, the Head of the ALDE Party in the European Parliament, when commenting on the attempts of the so-called Crimean authorities to ban the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people.
Similar statements were made by other members of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.
In particular, ALDE Group Vice President Petras Aushtrevichus said the occupational Crimean authorities purposefully stamp out any dissent, and now they've chosen the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people as the next target.
- Unfortunately, the situation is worsening throughout all Russia. This only proves that the current EU policy towards Russia is the right one. Repressions in and by Russia have to receive an adequate response from the EU. This is the only way to deal with Putin's regime, said Aushtrevichus.
As QHA reported earlier, the EU expressed its grave concern about the systematic violation by the Russian Federation of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Crimean Tatar people.

Fairness in the Work Place
For example, if an employer goes to hug and employee and said employee makes the comment she is hot and sweaty and the employer says "that's just the way I like you", it's not appropriate. Or does the shoulder hug alone comprise the sexual harassment statute?
What about fair treatment for all employees? If there is no rule in place regarding say, hair color, tattoos or piercings, and one or more employees have them without incident and one comes in with a red streak in his hair and is singled out and forced to be taken off the floor for not complying to a rule that was never there in the first place without justification or explanation, is that worthy of a complaint?
What about a potentially dangerous situation when a drug influenced patron walks in and makes the staff uncomfortable. The lead employee refuses further service and the employee is reprimanded for poor customer service and the patron is invited back with a gift certificate?
Or what if an employee overlooks a duty and the employer helps themselves to the employee's tip jar as a punishment for the oversight without asking?
And what if the employee takes a minority employee and pushes them with duties that no one can do in the allotted time and for such little pay and then tells them this is a good job for them, they are lucky to have it?
These are examples I have seen in the work place and in thinking about it, have gone to the Bureau of Labor and Industry for my state. There is a complaint system in place but, as I'm sure it is in most states, is extensive. That's good in some ways. Otherwise, everyone would be bitching about every little nuance in the work place whether it's merited or not. But when you are looking at having to file the complaint and then be confronted with the person you are filing against, it can be a frightening and daunting experience most likely leaving most employees to just quit and leave the offending boss to keep up his ways.
So how do we make these offending bosses responsible for their actions? What is the recourse of action that can be taken or is there one? Quit. For sure if you are financially able, but then without bringing the employer to the table on his actions, it only continues for the next one. In the past I have found myself saying as I'm sure others before me did, "well, someone is going to make him accountable….it just can't be me". Then what?
I think it takes standing up to the boss in the situation and letting him know your boundaries. The problem with that is risk losing your job. If you are in the mode to file a complaint, then your job is most likely over. Is there financial compensation for doing such a thing knowing that your employment at the establishment is through? And is there a way to find out if the employer has done the same thing in other establishments in the past? I am truly asking to find answers. I know a great deal of people who can benefit from this information. Have you run across this in your work space and what solutions did you come up with? Was your offender brought to justice? If so how? I wish this were one of my blogs where I gave insightful solutions and go get 'em pep talks but I am truly at a loss on how to advise here. Always your comments are welcome but particularly here. In a day where most are lucky to find themselves, employed, how do you handle strife in the work place?

Single Brown Female Seeks Adult
Now you see why I don't date. Seriously? Okay fellas. Don't ask us that. You will force us to lie or be unnecessarily mean. That's like asking us if these jeans make us look fat. We just want to appreciate the moment and savor the memory or, in some cases, look forward to more.
I, for one, am ready to put away little boy's games. I don't want to kiss and tell and I don't my kissers to either. I want a gentleman to pursue me. To take the time to learn about me. Here's another example. The reverse stalker. I have an older man very interested in taking me out. We did have a cocktail together. He was way to needy and way too aggressive. Though I politely explained that I am not able to provide him with all he needs at this time, he continues to call and text. I don't respond as to not encourage. He doesn't need me to. They keep coming. The thing is, I am 99% sure he hasn't done one thing to learn anything about me except we are possibly the only two single people in my rural town who haven't dated each other yet.
I love the notion of dating. Of lying awake at night not being able to stop thinking about someone. To look forward to the next time together and yet not letting it consume you. To find someone happy in life to share with is not easy. I'm told its harder the older we get. Maybe I'm too old fashioned for my time. But I want someone to want to know about me. I want to know about him. I want us to share things but be happy with who we are in our own lives. And most important is someone who lets you be you. Does it exist? A flower at my door. A note on my car. A dinner and a peck on the cheek at the end of the night. Maturity without infirmary. Playfulness without games. Chemistry. Doesn't sound that hard does it? And yet its darn near impossible. Dating. Is it a lost term in today's high speed world? It seems we can't get "there" fast enough. Happily Single Brown Female Might Some Day Be Interested In Someone Just to Share the Ride. Think it will happen?

Stupid Stunts or Responsible Tutorial?
Talk about being lumped into the same category! So my son is experiencing 15 minutes of fame once again this week. This news coming to us via his You Tube account where several people told him one of his fire tutorials had been featured on CBS The Early Show. Sure enough. Our excitement was soon diminished slightly when we saw the clip and how it was labeled Stupid Stunts.
As you see, the clip shows various "hey dude…watch this" type of stunts. Then the segment takes you to my son's tutorial where it is determined my son is teaching children how to swallow fire. Um no. Oh, where to begin.
First of all…my son spends a great deal of time in his tutorial discussing safety. My son is currently 18 years old and began this hobby at 17 with my supervision. In fact, the boy made me sit down and watch his safety video so that I would know what to do in the event he had an accident. Anyone one who wants to learn from my son must first hear about safety just as my son did with his fire mentors.
Second. Would you like to know where I was when my son shot this video? On the other side of that wall in my house where I could hear everything and was on hand should a problem arise. Where were those children's parents when they were making their vinegar and baking soda concoction? Or when they were car surfing?
There is a vast difference in the style of these You Tube clips that were presented in this segment. A difference in safety, age and supervision. I agree that there is a danger in children emulating what they see on You Tube that could be dangerous. But how is it different then what they see on television on a daily basis or at the theater? Again, discussions should begin at home and if your child is of appropriate age and wants to experiment in a hobby that can be construed as dangerous, do your homework and learn the safety issues that are involved and by all means, SUPERVISE!
As a mother of a child with a diverse hobby, every fiber in my body wanted to send him to his room and tell him to put the flame out. I spent the first 17 years of his life teaching him NOT to play with fire. He had to convince me that his practice was safe and always supervised by myself or someone else he is close to with a fire blanket at hand.
I'm not angry for CBS for using my son's tutorial for this segment. In fact, I thank them for drawing attention to a responsible young man who has learned and teaches others safety in his craft. His You Tube hits have gone through the roof! But what I would like to have seen is the use of this video as an example different from those he was compared to. And example of responsibility and safety. CBS, if you are reading this, we are trying to contact you about safety on You Tube. Let us know if you are interested in a rebuttal.

Paralyzed and Pregnant - What We Take For Granted
Awhile back, maybe even a year ago, I watched a show called Paralyzed and Pregnant. It was a moving documentary about Michelle, woman who in her early 20's dove off a dock and broke her neck, leaving her a quadrapalegic. That alone is hard to think about. But she went on to fall in love, marry and give birth to her son, Pierce. Part Two of the story goes on to tell how the birth of their son along with the pressures of her medical issues were too much for the young marriage to last and the couple divorced. The last update I saw was Pierce's 4th birthday party where Mom Michelle had apparently gone all out with blow up jumpy toys in the yard to a whole host of guests which included children and adults alike. Now here is where it got me. She says how much help it required to do this. And how while everyone was outside playing with her son; running and jumping, she watched through a window inside.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science and ABC are playing it safe with advertising for the Feb. 29 broadcast of the 76th annual Oscars show.
|The Academy and the network are working to keep offensive ads out of the Oscars broadcast.

Critical screening
But this is nothing new. The Academy and the network have been critically screening and rejecting inappropriate commercials since they began working together with the 48th Academy Awards broadcast in 1976. ABC, which is owned by Walt Disney Co., has broadcast every Academy show since then.
Last year, the Oscars pulled in 33 million viewers, down from 41.8 million viewers in 2002, while 87.3 million tuned into this year's Super Bowl broadcast, according to CBS, which carried the game.
"We always refer to the Academy Awards as the 'Super Bowl for Women,' " said Shari Cohen, co-executive director national broadcast group at WPP Group's MindShare. "You tend to see a different type of advertiser. But like the Super Bowl, they are spending a lot of money in a high-impact landscape. They want to stand out."
But not stand out too much. Geri Wang, senior vice president of prime-time sales at the network, said all of the Oscar advertising is carefully vetted before it is scheduled, to make sure it's all in good taste.
Back-to-back dates
Many of this year's ads will also seem very familiar. Because the awards broadcast has been moved up a month earlier, from March 29 to Feb. 29, many of the ads are repeat performances from the Feb. 1 Super Bowl, television advertising's biggest event. On the other hand, the raunchy stuff from the game's telecast, including Bud Lite's notorious "farting horse" ad, will not take a second bow at the Oscars.
Mike Benson, senior vice president marketing, advertising and promotion at ABC, wants the Oscars to become a showcase for new spots. "We want to make a bigger deal about premiering new ads," he said. "There is some great new creative out there."
"Advertisers don't want to put ads up there that aren't their best," Ms. Cohen said. "They should put out new, original stuff."
Far too expensive
But the close proximity of the Super Bowl may make that impossible. One top media buyer told AdAge.com it would be far too expensive for advertisers to produce great creative ads for high-profile, back-to back-specials. "But if the Super Bowl and the NFL start censoring the advertising," the media buyer said, "maybe they'll shift their good stuff to the awards."

Competition between these two types of schools has strengthened both, while guaranteeing that families like yours have meaningful alternatives when it comes to education. What makes private schools unique? Each was founded by an individual or group with a clear and distinct approach to education—a mission. As a result, you can choose the school whose mission matches your child's needs. Private schools also have a Board of Trustees, which keeps the school "on track" by protecting and nurturing that special mission."
The National Public Opinion Poll of Perceptions of Independent Schools, commissioned by the National Association of Independent Schools, found that "independent schools are seen as the most different in offering a more personalized, customized education, and an environment that is civil and controlled. Small class sizes, individualized attention, values, manners, and discipline are the most important factors describing differences between public and independent schools."
Private schools are different in that …
The schools listed on this website have been defined by the following categories:
No. The 86 schools listed on this site all belong to the Houston Area Independent Schools.
As a parent, you know that all children are not alike. Each child has his or her own special talents, interests, developmental patterns, and emotional needs. A school that is right for one may not be the best choice for another.
When you are selecting a school, ask yourself questions such as these:
Once you have heard from the schools that accepted your child, you will be given a certain amount of time to make your decision—usually two or three weeks. If you have not already visited the campus, you should schedule a visit immediately. Even if you have been on the campus before, you may want to visit again. Talking to other families in the school can also be helpful. Making the final decision is never easy, but listening to your gut instincts will probably lead you to the right choice.
Whichever school you choose, be sure to inform all of the schools that accepted your child. Many schools have candidates on waiting lists, and these students are anxious to learn whether a space will become available. Once you return the enrollment contract with the tuition deposit, your family will be considered part of that school's community.
Private education is not cheap, but it doesn't have to break your bank account. Try to plan ahead as much as possible so that you can keep the cost within reach. It is important to note that the family bears the primary responsibility for financing their child's education to the extent that they are able.
Contact each school directly so that you can learn about the full range of financial options available. Most private schools offer financial aid to families that demonstrate need. The money for these grants comes directly from the school's budget and demonstrates the school's commitment to having a diverse student population. Another common option is a monthly payment plan. These plans allow families to spread out their tuition payments over a period of eight to ten months. Occasionally, schools offer loan programs. No matter which of these options you decide to pursue, following deadlines for submitting the necessary documentation is essential. Remember that the admissions officer is willing to help you navigate the process.
Visit each school's website and read the information about the admissions process. Or, call the office directly and ask for the information. The process is usually laid out in a step-by-step format. Most schools have a similar process, but you need to be responsible for paying attention to differing dates and requirements.
Most private schools require some form of testing prior to admittance. Many schools share their testing results with one another. Consult each school website for details. Schools admitting younger students may administer age-appropriate assessments. Schools admitting older students may require the ISEE (independent school entrance exam) or some other standardized test. You can visit the ISEE website at www.iseetest.org for further information. You may also be required to schedule an interview with the admissions office. Each school has their own requirements and it is your responsibility to be sure all of them are done during the admissions process.

Russian rescuers saved two circus elephants on a Siberian highway when their wooden van caught fire amid freezing temperatures, police said Friday.
The elephants' wooden truck caught fire on Thursday evening in Siberia's Novosibirsk region. A petrol-powered heater in the van most likely set fire to their straw, police said, publishing photographs of the blackened vehicle.
Police, firemen and passing drivers helped rescue the elephants, their trainer said in a police video, adding that "the animals are alive and well".
The elephants, which belong to a Polish circus, were on tour between the Siberian cities of Novokuznetsk and Omsk, police said, a distance of around 1,000 kilometres (620 miles).
Amid temperatures of minus 35 degrees Celsius (-31 Fahrenheit), the elephants "suffered a light frostbite to the tips of their ears", a local official told the RIA Novosti news agency.
"They rubbed them with special ointment, and as far as I understand, nothing else was wrong with them."
To warm up the animals, the trainers "mixed two cases of vodka with warm water and gave them to the elephants," the official said.
"Probably it was a treat for them."
The animals have temporarily been sheltered in a garage, police said.
Travelling circuses are popular attractions in Russia's remote regions, but are poorly regulated with frequent accidents and attacks on children.

Quiet, easy to use, and engineered to minimize materials consumption, the ED100 and ED250 Low Energy Door Operators provide safe, low-effort access for all users. Both units were developed and are manufactured by DORMA, the international door systems specialist.
The sleek, energy-efficient and whisper-quiet ED100 and ED250 operators can be installed either as push versions with standard arms or pull versions with a slide channel. For double doors, an easy-to-install integrated coordinator is also available.
The units feature a range of operating modes, enabling the doors to be opened under power when required or used as conventional manual swing doors. DORMA's ED100 is designed for doors weighing up to 220 lbs.; the ED250 supports larger and heavier doors up to 550 lbs.
Precision multi-stage gearing accounts for quiet and smooth operation. Combined with the architectural detailing of DORMA's slim, elegant Contur design - just 2 ¾" inches high - the closers are suitable for the most sensitive building environments.
When operated manually, the ED 100 and 250 require little physical effort. They are especially helpful for children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, or those carrying objects or pushing carts. Both operators - fully ADA compliant - open doors at precisely controlled speeds and forces, assuring safety for all users.
As an option, these electromechanical operators can be supplied with DORMA's innovative automatic wind control. Each operator automatically recognizes and compensates for wind loads with a force of up to 33 lbf. The unit makes these adjustments to current weather conditions in real time. It also features adjustable electronic latching action.
The ED units are inherently green products, specifically engineered to reduce required manufacturing materials by almost 40 percent compared to other low-energy operators. Lower weight also cuts shipping costs and reduces CO2 emissions in the delivery cycle. In addition, DORMA operators help avoid heat loss and contribute to reducing buildings' carbon footprints. The long life of all DORMA products means it will be many years before recycling becomes a necessity, but at that time the operators will be fully recyclable.

I am so happy that I didn't have anywhere to go this Saturday morning! I spent the entire morning in bed finishing a book by Janette Okes. It's the Abram's Daughters Series and I can't put them down after I download them on my iPad. I had 'bought' the first book from Amazon (it was free) and have recently discovered that I can download eBooks from my library. I checked my library's list and found they offered the complete series on eBook! I just finished the 4th of the series and there's only one left. I did finally drag myself out of bed to get some much-needed work done, with the knowledge that I can read more today as my daughter is at ballet practice for the Nutcracker.! So, I thought I would write for a few moments before I make some soup for lunch, clean out my flower beds, work on laundry and start my new list of meals for a few weeks. It sure feels like I just put the last few weeks together and now it's over! It's fun deciding what to eat for the next few weeks!
For those of you that own tablets, check out Amazon under the free eBook section. They have a ton of books for free, including some classics! I have never read any Jane Austen books so I 'bought' quite a few from Amazon! I have years worth of reading without having to leave the comfort of my home, and ALL free! What a deal! Be sure to check out your local library to see if they offer free downloaded books! I LOVE anything free and easy!!
Make sure to check out all the deals on Amazon. I get a lot of free cookbooks on there also!
Happy Saturday!!

Set of 2 Propane Tank Decals - These extended life vinyl decals are 2" x 3" for easy application almost anywhere on your tanks.
The new NFPA-58 LP Gas Code Manual might affect how balloonists refuel their hot air balloon propane tanks. It was possible that a LP dispenser or local fire marshal could deny LP gas on the basis that there is no code reference or DOT acknowledgement.
The BFA stepped up and made certain that HAB's were included in the code. The result is that Code 220.127.116.11 stipulates that all containers (tanks) for hot air balloons shall be marked to demonstrate compliance with FAA regulations. These decals fulfill that requirement. Please familarize yourself with all of the requirements.
If this is the only item that you order, we will ship them free of charge by USPS. If a charge for shipping occurs on your order initially, don't be concerned. We will remove it before running your charge.

"Give" is a four letter word."
Perhaps one of the hardest things for which to raise money is humanity.
People love to save whales, trees, spotted owls and an entire host of variables. Yet you tell them about people who are starving and so many times you will hear. "that's a shame".
Now of course I am plugging my own cause of which I am very interested in seeing succeed but this really does apply to all such causes.
I had a big treat yesterday. I had a Starbucks coffee and a sandwich on a bagel. It cost 250 pesos! that was around 4 bucks. It is a big deal for me and actually I did not know it would be so high or I would not have purchased it. Yet It caused me to think about how many people have the resources to go into a Starbucks or any such place and without checking their financial resources, buy a cup of coffee. Some of you might be saying, "well yeah, duh!" Yet if I had as many people who read my stuff go to: http://www.payatasmissionoutreach.org/donate.htm and sign up for a monthly deduction of only $5 from their debit or credit card, many of the problems here would be addressed.
Maybe it is because many people do not know who to trust. I agree that is a huge problem. It is so easy to check our information. if you go to: http://www.savepayatas.org/ you will get the facts. If you go to: http://www.payatasbaptistchurch.org/ and click on The box with the picture of the little girl which reads, "Photos" it will bring you to our multiply site and you will see almost 4,000 photos of what we do and how we do it. If you click "Updates" on the menu bar you will be able to see our diary for the three years we have been here.
Everything we do, we document because we know it is important to see how your money is making a difference. There are also plenty of other references which can be given to you if required.
We came here three years ago and up until a generous supporter gave us a washing machine. Prior to that, we washed the clothes by hand. We still don't have an oven and so nothing is baked, broiled or roasted and everything is cooked on a two burner , counter top stove.
We are Yankees in a tropical climate yet we have no A/C. All you Californians, could you picture that?
I don't tell you that so you can feel sorry for us (of course if that motivates you I will tell you more) We have been praying for three years for a camera. A generous supporter bought a motorcycle for me yet we are praying for a vehicle for the entire family. Right now, almost every pair of pants I own has patches on it. My youth Pastor needs a computer for the ministry.
I tell you all this so you will know that your money is not going to support someones lavish lifestyle. We live in a donated house but we never know when that graciousness will expire and we will have to look for a home.
Yesterday I went to look at a condominium. I did it just for kicks. I loved it. The price was $120,000. In America it would be a great deal but with no salary, how could I pay for it?
With all this in mind. Knowing that we are working to change lives here in Payatas and are willing and have been suffering for the cause, why don't you sign up with us for $5 per month?
Just go here: http://www.payatasmissionoutreach.org/donate.htm , click the $5 box and your good to go.
I hope you will check out our sites and see the good work of which you can take part.

The first week of September has finally arrived this year and with that marks the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall and then Winter.
For must of us in the northern parts of the United States and the world we experience some pretty harsh winters on occasion.
Winter travel, especially by passenger cars (mini-vans and some trucks), is serious business. You should always carry a winter survival kit.
For those who live in eastern Pennsylvania like I do, you may be well aware of the 2007 Winter Storm that shutdown a major interstate (I-78).
Winter storm leaves freezing temperatures, mounds of snow behind
February 2nd 2007
In Pennsylvania, National Guard vehicles loaded with food, water, baby supplies and fuel delivered help to hundreds of motorists stranded on Interstate 78 Wednesday night and Thursday morning while crews try clear up a 50-mile backup on the icy, hilly highway.
The Guard began helping the motorists at about 9 p.m. Wednesday and was still at it more than 12 hours later, said Lt. Col. Chris Cleaver, a Guard spokesman.
Your kit can be as extensive as you want, but you should include these items which would allow you to survive 12 – 24 hours (and sometimes more, if needed) without the benefit of the car heater.
- One sleeping bag, rated for your area. Also include at least two blankets for every person in the automobile. We highly recommended a 100% pure wool or wool blend blanket.
- Three-pound metal coffee can (or lightweight camping pot) which can be used to heat water
- Matches (preferably waterproof) and candles (preferably 9 hour or longer). Using one of the blankets over your head, body heat and the heat from a single candle can prevent freezing.
- A quality flashlight and extra batteries. Great for signaling help or finding dropped items in your vehicle or home at night when there is no lighting. We recommend the Fenix flashlight in a AA battery. Having a quality, multi-lumen flashlight with a standard, easy to find battery such as the AA is ideal for any kit, not just your automobile winter survival kit.
- Winter clothing such as; caps, mittens, heavy wool socks, gloves, coveralls, thermal underwear, etc. All of these items can be old or out-of-style items no longer worn.Also please limit the amount of cotton clothing to store in your winter survival kit as cotton does not wick moisture as well as wool and polypropylene (synthetic wool-like material).
- First aid kit, including any special medications for you and your travelers.
- Bottled water. It will probably freeze, so allow expansion room in the container. Best to use Camelbak or Platypus water carriers.
- High-energy foods – candy, nuts, raisins, peanut butter, sugar cubes, packaged condensed soups and hot chocolate. Since you have a pot to boil water you may also want to look into MRE's (Meal Ready to Eat), Wise Food, Camp'n Trail, Mountain House, etc.
- Small sack of sand or kitty litter, which is good for traction, and can double for vehicle fluid leaks.
- Shovel – One with a flat blade is preferable. Use caution in shoveling snow, as overexertion is not advisable in a survival situation, especially in the winter when perspiration can kill you with outdoor temperatures start to plummet.
- Basic tool kit, to include pliers, screwdrivers, adjustable wrench, duck tape, regular tape and wire.
- Paper towels and/or toilet tissue, good for their designed purpose as well as for emergency fire starter.
- Axe or saw, excellent for cutting wood for fire or branches to place under stuck tires for traction. Also can be used to clear the road if you need to.
- Tow chain or strap. Also, a come-along is a very handy device to recover your own vehicle.
- Spare tire. One with air works best. Check your spare tire every three months to ensure the proper PSI.
- Wire and rope (550 paracord), which have a multitude of uses, including automotive repair.
- Starter fluid, extra oil, gas line deicer and battery booster cables.
- Signaling devices, such as railroad flares, which can be seen for miles. Also consider chemlights because they are non-flammable especially around vehicles.
- Extra cell phone batteries and car charger.

The Bermuda Point office building is an iconic design solution to a series of very pragmatic design requirements.
Bermuda point is a strata commercial building located opposite Bond University on the Gold Coast and enjoys spectacular views across the lake to Arata Isozaki's university campus.
The design solution was to create a large simple floor plate that could be divided into smaller 'front to back' office suites. This resulted in all tenancies being 'through' units to allow natural ventilation and maximize external and solar exposure. The mild climate allowed that the access walkway be open.
The fins provide sun protection to the offices on the western side whilst maximizing the views. They also create a delightful sense of 'colonnade' on the open walkway to the east.
The building was cost-effective to build, using passive environmental principles combined with standard, robust materials. The iconic shape combined with the use of the coloured fins allows this inexpensive building to make a strong, sophisticated design statement.

FORRES Saturday 29th June 2013
What a wonderful display of colour there will be in Forres as the bands play their reels and marches. Over 100 pipe bands from all over Europe will compete in the natural amphitheatre of Grant Park, a beautiful setting several times winner of the Britain in Bloom award. Lets hope for the sunny weather typical of the Moray Firth, and that it will inspire our son to take up his chanter again. It has been gathering dust since he left the school band pictured above.

LOWELL - The mother and grandmother of a first-grader who walked out of Pawtucketville Memorial Elementary School unnoticed last week are angry that the boy was able to leave the school and what they perceive as blame on him for having walked out.
"Whoever was responsible in that classroom, who was not his regular teacher, did not have her eyes on him," said his mother, Nicole Jones, referring to who she said was a substitute teacher. "I'm advocating for my child and for all 500 other students in that school that something needs to be done."
Much else about the Friday, Jan. 20 incident is unknown, including how long the 7-year-old boy was missing, which door he left from, how common such incidents are, and more details about the school's protocol for such incidents.
Jeannine Durkin, the Lowell Public Schools deputy superintendent, declined to answer specific questions, saying that other details are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and by state student records laws.
School staff alerted key personnel when they noticed the boy was missing, Durkin said, and all classrooms and school grounds were searched. The school went into a "soft lockdown," in which classes continue normally but students aren't allowed to leave the classroom.
The state Department of Children and Families was notified as part of the district's protocol, she said.
The boy's family is unhappy with that response, saying he has no issues that need looking into.
"There was no apology.
The Pawtucketville principal, Mathew McLean, declined to comment last week, referring questions to the superintendent's office.
Durkin said the district will review its safety protocols following the incident "to ensure the safety of all our students."
"As always, there are things we can improve upon," she said.
Lowell police filed what's known as a 51A report, which launches an investigation into what an officer believes to be a potential case of a child suffering physical or emotional harm. Durkin said the school also filed a 51A, which will spur the DCF to review the incident.
Police received a call at 10:18 a.m. last Friday from a caller reporting a child running down Varnum Avenue, police spokesman Capt. Tim Crowley said. An off-duty officer called less than a minute later with the same report, and that officer located the child at Meadow Drive, Crowley said, a distance of about a half-mile from the school.
The principal and another staff member arrived about 10 minutes later, the spokesman said. Crowley said they reported that the boy was in a classroom and asked to use the restroom, and that he left the room and didn't return.
Crowley said he had no record of the school having contacted police.
"I can't be more outraged," said Susan Sharaffa, the boy's grandmother. "In this day and age, a school should not be allowing any child to walk out of school. Something bad could have happened. It's lucky someone else didn't pick him up. Every parent should know about this."
The boy's mother told a slightly different story than what police gave. According to Jones, her son told his teacher he was tired, and she instructed him to go back to his desk. Upset, he left the school, she said.
Jones said she felt uneasy about how the whole incident was handled. She said school officials said her son may have made a plan to leave the school.
"I felt like all fingers were pointing toward my son. I didn't feel they were taking any responsibility. I left there numb," she said.
"My kid's not asking for attention," Jones continued. "He was very remorseful when my mom showed up. He was crying."
"These are little kids. Why aren't they monitoring the doors?" Jones said. "I just want this to be prevented so that no other parent has to get a call like I got."

One of the good things about the Android operating system is that it gets constant software updates. Even older devices get these updates as long as their hardware can still support it. The #Samsung #Galaxy #S5 for example which was released in 2014 initially running on Android KitKat has now been upgraded to Android Marshmallow. While this update generally improves the performance of the phone there are instances when issues can occur because of it. In this latest installment of our troubleshooting series we will tackle the Galaxy S5 software update temporarily unavailable issue & other related problems.

S5 Software Update Temporarily Unavailable
Problem: My Samsung Galaxy S5 is a Verizon phone but i have a T-Mobile Sim (Verizon Galaxy S5 on T-Mobile network). When i try to update my phone and click check for new software update, it says "Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." it keeps saying this whenever i try. i factory reset my phone, restarted it and still nothing. i also try downloaded Kies and Smart Switch and tried to update it, but it say is on the current software. i know marshmallow is out for my phone but how can i update it. PS. I am not going to root my device, so can you find another way then rooting it to fix the phone. Thank You.
Solution: Since this was previously a Verizon phone then it's software had been designed to check for updates on the Verizon servers which you are now unable to access since the phone is now running on the T-Mobile network. Aside from getting your phone back to the Verizon network to get the update the only other option that you have right now is to flash the phone with the latest software update. If this is the option that you will take then just check on the popular Android forums online for instructions on how to perform this procedure.
S5 You Device Is Up To Date Check Back After 24 Hours time Error
Problem: I get this "your device is up to date, check back 24hrs time" and am using 4.4.2 version. When I check after the 24hrs has elapsed I still get the same message that my device is up to date and that I should check back 24hrs time.. please help, what should I do?
Solution: Try following the troubleshooting steps listed below which is designed to resolve issues such as this. Move to the next step should the problem still occur.
- Download Kies or Smart Switch on your computer. Connect your phone using a USB cord to the computer and use the downloaded software to update your phone.
- Backup your phone data then do a factory reset. After the reset check for the update using the OTA method. If this fails then check for the update using Kies or Smart Switch.
- Manually flash the update to your phone. Refer to the various Android forums online for instructions on how to do this.
S5 Constantly Getting Updates
Problem: I couldn't get my software update to work for months. I had looked on your blog and finally decided to take the plunge and factory reset it. Now I turned it back on, it updated. Then a few minutes after it being on again, it said there was another update. It downloaded and updated. Now it's telling me there is another. Is this normal after months of not updating?
Solution: Try to check if the updates have different versions. If they are different then it is normal since your phone has not been updated for quite some time. Just let the updates install normally and your phone should be fine.
S5 Quick Settings Crashes After Marshmallow Update
Problem: I have just downloaded and update the new operating system as my phone kept telling me to do. But since the update, my pull down task screen shows nothing but the brightness option. When I go to setting and notification panel and click on recommended apps (off) the setting crashes. I have no access to my wifi, volume, gps, screen rotation, etc. Buttons as I used to have.
Solution: Several other phone owners are also having this very same issue. Try restarting your phone then check if the quick settings reappear. If it doesn't then you will need to backup your phone data and do a factory reset. This reset will delete any old software data that could still be in the phone and is causing this problem.
S5 Stuck In Verizon Logo After Software Update
Problem: Tried to update manually and not OTA. During that process it said it was successful but on bootup it gets stuck on Verizon logo and I have tried soft reset and hard reset many times.
Solution: For this particular issue try taking out the battery and the microSD card ( if you have one installed) then press and hold the power button for at least a minute. This will discharge the phone circuit and clear out its RAM. Reinsert just the battery then try to turn on your phone. If it still gets stuck in the boot logo then try to turn on your phone with the wall charger connected.
If the issue persists then the the software upgrade could have corrupted the phone software. If this is the case then you will need to manually flash the update phone software to your device. Instructions on how to do this can be found at several of the popular Android forums online.
S5 No Software Update Available
Problem: I have a s5 from when I had at&t, then swapped over to tmobile. After it was unlocked I haven't been able to update my phone software. It says connecting to at&t network but since I'm now tmobile, obviously it won't work. T Mobile store has no idea how to fix, at&t store won't bother, Samsung says to get with t mobile. How do I update?
Solution: The reason why your device is not getting the update is because it is trying to get it from the AT&T servers which you don't have access anymore since your phone is now using the T-Mobile service. Aside from inserting an AT&T SIM to your phone and using it to check for the update you can try connecting your phone using a USB cord to a computer with Kies or Smart Switch installed and use the software to check for updates.
One last option that you should consider is to manually flash the update to your phone. Instructions on how to do this can be found at several of the popular Android forums online.
S5 Locked Out Of Pattern Lock After Marshmallow Update
Problem: I just updated my samsung galaxy S5 to the latest operating system, and it has locked me out with a new pattern lock. Prior to the update, I did not have a pattern lock, and did not use any type of lock. Now I can no longer access my phone because it has a pattern lock that I did not set. I updated the phone while it was next to me, so no one else had access to my phone the entire time. I also did not download any new applications or files within the last few days, so were no changes to the software. Please help!!! I have had this phone for almost 2 years now without a single issue. I have always updated it in the past 2 years.
Solution: This is an issue that quite a number of S5 owners are facing after the Marshmallow update. You can still gain access to the phone by doing a factory reset from recovery mode. This will however delete all the data stored in the phone. If you haven't backed up your phone data then you can simply reset the security feature of the phone using the Gmail account associated with the device.

The real corporate tax puzzle
Big internet giants like Apple are going to extraordinary lengths to minimise their tax burden, and voters and politicians are understandably excited about it. But the puzzle for economists is not that big companies now pay so little tax - but why, in a global economy, they are still paying tax on their profits at all.
When I was first studying economics 25 years ago, my teachers were all expecting corporate taxes to disappear.
In a global economy in which capital and companies could go wherever they wanted, the assumption was that there would be an international "race to the bottom" when it came to corporate tax rates. Governments would either have to spend less or jack up personal income or consumption taxes instead.
Looking at the tax planning exploits of Amazon, Google and the rest, you might say the prediction had come true.
Except, corporate tax revenues overall have not fallen sharply as the world has become more globally integrated, or more digitally connected; rather the opposite.
IMF economists looked at this recently. They found that globalisation had pushed down corporate tax rates quite dramatically in the UK and around the developed world. (Especially in the 1980s - think of the successive corporate tax cuts under Nigel Lawson).
The median corporate tax rate in the largest 19 OECD countries fell from 50% in 1982 to 34% by 2003. But the researchers do not find this translating into lower corporate revenues: "...in fact, for the US and all regions save for Sub-Saharan Africa, revenues have risen over time."
Economists might not be surprised by that in itself. If corporate tax rates start out high, tax experts would say that cutting the marginal rate doesn't need to cost the government revenue, if the government broadens the tax base at the same time by cutting loopholes and deductions.
In large parts of the world, a lower rate might also encourage more black market companies to join the legitimate economy and pay tax for the first time. All of those things would tend to push up revenues, even if rates are going down.
But you can't usually raise revenues by cutting the tax on corporate profits to zero. With all the competition out there, economists might still wonder why corporate profit taxes are still with us at all, let alone be raising roughly the same amount as they were in the 1960s.
A chart (on p28 of the report) shows how corporate revenues have varied internationally since 1980 as a share of GDP. Predictably, the number jumps around a lot; corporate profits swing about wildly, depending on the economy, and you'd expect corporate tax revenues to do the same.
But, as I said, the prediction, 20-30 years ago would have been that in a global economy, revenues would be jumping around a fast-declining trend. That is not the picture you see on the chart. Before the financial crisis, OECD countries were raising significantly more from companies as a share of GDP than they were 30 years earlier. The average corporate tax take was 3.8% of GDP in 2007, up from 2.6% in 1990 and 2.1% in 1975.
Of course, you'd expect the financial crisis to have cut revenues. But corporate tax revenues, on average, were still 2.9% of GDP in 2010 (which is the most recent year available). In that year the chancellor raised 3.1% of GDP from UK companies - compared with 3.5% in 1990 and 2.2% in 1975. In the US, the figure was 2.7%, compared with 3.5% and 1990 and 2.9% in 1975.
None of this makes the tax exploits or Apple and the others any less disturbing, for voters or governments. Even Google's Eric Schmidt seems to agree that global tax rules have not kept pace with the development of the digital economy and they need to be reformed.
Individual countries care how much money they get from Google, relative to their sales. In economic terms, the interesting question is whether they are paying less than the average overall. It is quite possible that high-tech companies pay less tax, as a share of their global revenues, than the global average. I have not been able to find any research on this, either way, but you can't help feeling there ought to be some.
In the meantime, economists will continue to be puzzled that governments are still able to raise as much money from companies as they do. And governments, for their part, might be somewhat relieved that all the talk of scams and mounting avoidance has yet to seriously damage their capacity to tax companies overall. But companies that choose not to send their profits into the outer atmosphere - or any other offshore location - will not find that reassuring at all.

CSS provides you with a "hidden" attribute that lets you hide any HTML element on a Web page including a "select" box. CSS interacts with your HTML code to control the layout and visual appearance of Web pages. A "select" box is a drop-down element that limits user input, so they must choose one of the predefined values you set up. You set the drop-down box as "hidden" when you want to remove the option from user view without deleting the drop-down from the code.
In Windows Explorer, Right-click the HTML file that contains the drop-down select box. Select "Open With" in the pop-up window, then double-click your preferred HTML editor.
Locate the drop-down select box in the HTML code. To do a search for the drop-down element, press the "Ctrl" and "F" keys to open the "Find" dialog window. Type "<select" in the search text box and press "Enter."
Create the "select" box in the HTML code. If you do not already have a select box created, you must create one with a list of the values for readers to select. Copy and paste the following code to create a select box:

Westerman: "America Must Always Take Care of Those Who Defend Our Freedom"
February 13, 2017
Press Release
WASHINGTON – Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) released the following statement Monday (February 13) upon passage of the BRAVE Act, the HIRE Vets Act, and the WINGMAN Act:
"The men and women who serve our nation in uniform make incredible sacrifices in defense of freedom," Westerman said. "We must honor their courage and commitment to our country by taking care of them. On Monday, the House of Representatives passed a series of bills that would prioritize the hiring of veterans and streamline casework. America must always take care of those who defend our freedom and that is why I was glad to cast my vote for these bills."
A description of each bill, according to the House Republican Conference:
- H.R. 244, HIRE Vets Act: "… would require the Department of Labor (DOL) to establish the HIRE Vets Medallion Program, within one year of enactment, to annually recognize businesses for their efforts to employ veterans. DOL would make awards to employers, on a voluntary basis, who recruit, employ, and retain veterans; and provide community and charitable services supporting the veteran community. Employers would earn either platinum or gold status based on requirements related to the number of veterans hired each year, if they provide pay equity for Guardsmen and Reserve employees who were called up to active military service, and if certain other requirements are met."
- H.R. 512, the WINGMAN Act: "… would enable congressional staff, which would include staff sometimes referred to as 'caseworkers,' to have 'read only' access to veterans' records in the databases of the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), if the veteran provides permission to the Congressional office to allow their records to be accessed. This would enable staff, who are already certified to access these records, to bypass the step of having to use the VA as a intermediator to receive them."
- H.R. 974, the BRAVE Act: "… would allow the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, when awarding procurement contracts for good or services, to give preference to government contractors that employ veterans on a full-time basis."

Under the guise of cultural appropriation, Coco Austin is the latest 'victim' of social shaming by the proponents of this anti-liberty belief. The wife of Ice Tea is being accused of being racist because she wore braids that look like cornrows and that's a black thing, apparently. Cultural appropriation is a demented extention of the equally ridiculous, equally anti-human, anti-liberty, anti-creative idea of intellectual property. Except cultural appropriation extends this magical 'property' right to a collective, a monolithic entity that doesn't exist. The idea that all blacks claim ownership of a practice like cornrowing is proven wrong if you just and talk to some individuals in that involuntary tribe of 'black.' You'll find plenty of folks in that involuntary tribe that reject such ownership claims and, furthermore, reject the whole notion of cultural appropriation, as they should, as any individual should, regardless of the involuntary tribe others say they belong to.

Coco Austin's latest style statement caused some controversy on social media.
The 38-year-old model proudly displayed her new braids last week, but not everyone was feeling her hairstyle. "My new braids! I call [them] Da Coco Swoop. I wanted a little change up for the summer," she captioned a video of her new 'do. "I name all the braid styles I do, even hairstyles with no braids. It's a cute thing I do. I have many weird Coco-isms 'do."
Days later, Coco was back on social media defending her summer style. "So, recently I got social media's panties in a bunch because I did braids to my hair. This is so stupid. I can't believe I'm talking about it, and I believe this shouldn't be turned out to be a race thing," she said in a video shared on Instagram. "This is what happened: I did my braids and I called them the Coco Swoop. I name all my styles that I do to myself. These are called the Coco Swoop. The braids before were called the Bo Derek braids. And it's a Coco-ism. I've always done it."
Ice-T's wife further justified her look, insisting that she can name her hairstyles whatever she wants. "Why can't we all rename hairstyles or braids? That sounds so stupid. Why is everybody claiming something they shouldn't? I know braids have been around for thousands of years. Don't you think I know that?" she declared. "If I want to wear a pineapple on my head, then I should be able to wear a pineapple on my head and call it the Pineapple Cocowop. I don't know. You see where I'm going with this? Why is everybody hating?"

Now that my pc is now on a clean slate with all the programs that it came with along with ones that I had on disk, it seems to have severe lagging issues and I barely have any files in my pc at the moment. My pc is also giving me warnings that my virtual memory is low and Im wondering if these problems are being caused by my old files still being in my hard drive.
Is there any chance of this happening where your old files are still on your hard drive and not completely wiped out as it may seem to the naked eye? If my old files can be recovered from my hard drive, how do I go about doing so? If thats not the case, what would be causing these problems in my pc since my pc is pretty much on a clean slate.
I appreciate any help or solutions given and thanks in advance.
