Soy milk, almond milk, what's the difference?
Are you as confused as 90% of people today about the difference between almond milk, soy milk and regular milk? Lucy and I are here this week to help you understand the difference between these different milks and what the health benefits are. Soy and almond milk are the number one milk substitutes for people that have casein allergies, lactose intolerance, diabetes or heart diseases. Like anything else each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Even though almond and soy milk are used as a replacement for milk for people with milk allergies soy and almond milk also have their own allergens. Soy allergies are more common and more serious in children. Some of the allergic reactions to soy milk are swelling, hives, diarrhea and vomiting. You should not drink almond milk if you have allergies to peach or a tree nut allergy. Almond milk has similar allergic reactions however; almond allergies may lead to congestion of air ways. If you have any problems absorbing iron, you should check with your doctor about drinking soy milk as it has the ability to inhibit iron absorption.
Now that we scared you from ever drinking almond and soy milk we are going to tell you the reasons FOR enjoying them. Although almond milk is higher in fat content then soy milk, it has less starch. So in terms of calories, almond milk is usually where the dieters turn. If you get unsweetened almond milk it can contain as low as 40 calories per cup. Soy milk can carry almost double that amount. But almond and soy milk fat are good for you. The fat in these milks are a mixture of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which help with cholesterol and blood pressure reduction, in addition to protecting you against cardiovascular and neurological diseases.
Soy milk will help you stay fuller longer because it has more protein. One cup of soy milk can contain almost 7 grams of protein compared to only 4 grams in almond milk. Both of these milks also contain more fiber depending on the richness of the milk. Soy and almond milk are also great ways to get your vitamin b. Higher intake of vitamin b will help you raise your basal metabolic rate so you burn more fat and calories. So the next time you are in the store, opt for a change once in a while and pick up some almond or soy milk!

Minnesota Determined to be a Mortgage Fraud Hot Spot
The Politics of Real Estate
Few industries are as profoundly impacted by the political machinations in Washington as the real estate industry. Whether it's old legislation like Jimmy Carter's Community Reinvestment Act or Barack Obama's massive mortgage bailouts, the U.S. political machine has a huge impact (usually bad) on the business of real estate.
Ideally, we could ignore politics. But here at the Bryan Ellis Real Estate Letter, we insist on seeing the world with clarity - including the reality of Washington's aggressive involvement in every facet of our business, from mortgage lending to real estate sales license; from loan modification regulations to appraisal requirements... every piece of our business is profoundly impacted by politics. So rather than stick our heads in the sand and ignore reality, readers of the Bryan Ellis Real Estate Letter choose to be informed and prepared.
Mortgage Industry News
Few things change more rapidly than the mortgage market, and with the increasing dominance of GSE's Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac over the mortgage business, it's more important than ever to keep up. Here are a few recent mortgage news updates:

Many Canadians are woefully unprepared when it comes to protecting themselves against a potentially fatal threat, and I'd like to see this change.
This threat centres on the winter heating season, and protecting yourself against it requires less than $100 of simple equipment. Carbon monoxide is the issue, and with cold weather on its way, a carbon monoxide detector is more important than ever. This is especially true if you live in a modern, energy-efficient home.
The hazards of carbon monoxide shouldn't be news to any of us. This odourless, colourless gas is deadly, but what you might not realize is how carbon monoxide hazards are rising as time goes on. As strange as it sounds, improved homebuilding standards is one reason why.
Carbon monoxide kills because it's so chemically eager to latch onto oxygen wherever it exists. When it enters the body through your lungs, it binds up enough oxygen in the blood stream to starve vital organs. There's not enough pain or discomfort to wake sleeping victims from the slow silent death, and that's the danger.
Levels of carbon monoxide above only 70 parts per million (ppm) can cause headaches, tiredness and nausea in people who are awake. Levels over 150 or 200 ppm will probably kill you.
As homebuilding standards rise, the amount of natural ventilation in houses is on the way down. Government is mandating these changes, and they're a good thing. Tighter homes mean lower heating bills, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
But unlike older, leaky houses that have lots of natural ventilation, today's best homes are tight enough to allow negative indoor air pressures to develop under some circumstances. If you overuse exhaust fans, for instance, or if a heat recovery ventilator malfunctions, it's poss ible that indoor air pressure could drop lower than outdoor pressure. And if this happens while a combustion furnace, water heater or fireplace is operating, you could get deadly amounts of carbon monoxide wafting back into your home through chimneys and vents.
Backdrafting of this sort is not a likely scenario, but the stakes are high enough that you can't responsibly leave your life to chance, however small that chance might be.
That's why I consider carbon monoxide detectors a necessary no-brainer.
It's best to locate them in the vicinity of combustion appliances, though no closer than 1.8 metres to a gas or oil furnace, fireplace, gas or oil water heater or a gas range.
Detectors should only be installed in heated areas and not near ventilation louvres.
We've had two detectors in our house for 15 years, and once, when the alarms went off after someone closed the fireplace flue too soon, they may have saved our lives.
That's one reason I'm a believer. Another is the way detectors are getting better. The latest models have features that improve performance over earlier models, and, unless you've lived with a detector for a while, you might not realize the one feature that makes a big difference.
The main issue in my book is battery backup. First-generation detector designs were powered by an AC plug outlet alone, which meant they offered no protection during power failures - precisely when you need them the most as furnace burner fans and water heater exhaust systems shut down instantly while combustion might still be happening for a short time. The CO detector I have in the highest-risk area of my house has a built-in, self-charging battery system that keeps the unit working whenever the power goes off.
Top-of-the-line detectors cost all of about $60, which is probably the best value in home security anywhere. So why aren't carbon monoxide detectors found in every Canadian house? Part of this is because we're blissfully ignorant of the dangers. Another factor is that governments have tried but failed to legislate widespread and mandatory use of this lifesaving equipment.
Don't wait for the news media to frighten you into action, or government legislation to require you to do the right thing. The danger is obvious, protection is simple and the right kind of gear is widely available at low prices. All that's missing is the simplest of decisions next time you go to the hardware store.

Having hear of the agreement between the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and Ancestry.com, I was wondering IF or when I might find something of interest to me.
Was cleaning up my mother's record in my file, adding Photos of the houses that I had taken on Friday, I noticed a shaky leaf, in fact 4 hints to look at. A record from the U.S. Cemetery and Funeral Home Collection [database on-line] Provo, UT, USA, Ancestry.com Operations, Inc, 2011. That was cool, had that. But I was totally taken aback with the next hit.
This is the entry, on the page, from the Church Registry, of my mother's Baptism.
The very interesting thing here, is that on Friday, past, I took this photo:
I know that Font, both my brother, father and I were Baptized at this same font in 1949. I just happened to take this picture and to find this Church Record is awesome.

Emer's reflection following the European Exchange Experience
"Tonight for dinner food is….." Oh great, I thought. Where's my dictionary? So, what was it again? Ah yes, a word beginning with "c". I'm not even going to attempt asking the spelling, so I'll just browse the "c" section for a meat of some sort. Ok, so it's not there, I'll guess. Lamb? No. Beef, YES!!! Ok, but isn't beef- boeuf? Well at least I have some idea of what I'm eating…some. Oh, the joys of living with a family in a different language. Sure, it's hard and darn confusing, but isn't that the point? It's meant to be a challenge, you know? It's meant to make you take a step back, and think before you say something, which will most likely be the wrong thing. Sometimes, I wish things would stay like that. Not knowing much of each others language and constantly learning. I got such a thrill from hearing them I never wanted to stop listening and talking. Mistakes? Always, but never a problem. One night, I told the brother I went to bed at 6 (pm) instead of I slept for 6 hours. Oops! It's inevitable, but they come and go like clouds, and you just laugh and move on. It puts half the fun in conversing. One of the main lessons I learnt on this trip is to take life slowly. We can't always, speak, or type, or do things as fast as we (Americans) do. You're learning a new culture, and if you go too fast, you'll miss the small things that matter along the way, like the first time you think in French. Man, that's amusing! March 25th, my host family drove me to the train station. Let me tell you, in that car ride, I found a new meaning to "Never say goodbye". All I could say was "PLEASE visit me in America, you're always welcome" and "I'll miss you a lot!!!" of course there was a ton of Franglais in there. Well, it's the thought that counts! As the train pulled out of the station, me, Helena and like half of the American and Belgian students started crying- like sobbing crying. When that happens, you know that bonds have been made, and connections tied up. These are people- friends that we would never ever forget. We came across the big pond to learn about Europe, oh but we learnt and gained so much more. I for one will never look at the word "Together" or "Ensemble" again the same way, because it means something bigger than the dictionary could ever say. Dictionary definition: into or in one gathering, company, mass, place, or body: to call the people together. My definition: united- when you and another person are doing something ~ you're united in what you're doing, with all differences forgotten, because, essentially, you're the same, and being ~ or doing something ~ brings out that equality. The world is ~ and always will be, it just takes people who know that to show the rest of the world. United in diversity- aren't we all? Diversity! Bingo!!! That's what we are. The American and Belgian students, we're diverse to the limits, and best of friends. An adventure and friendship of a lifetime for me began with conversation. Sunday afternoon, doing homework and a window popped up on the computer screen. "Emer" "Yes?" "It's Flore, your pen pal" "…OMG, HI!!!!" "I mean, Salut!!!" Flore and I, our friendship began with conversation and I hope it always stays that way. I mean, the European Union was all about removing boundaries and borders, well, we're about removing language barriers and not letting physical boundaries stop friendships from flourishing. Conversation is one of a couple ways to get rid of language barriers- for once I can be proud of my inability to not stop talking! What bad could happen from talking? Practice makes perfect and I truly believe that the more we practice talking to each other in each other's language we will come to understand each other. And that- that would just be…a dream come true.

Meeting my Fate and Justine ....by Angela
There were just seventeen days left until I would meet my fate. At least that was how I interpreted it. People have praised me, saying that I would be fine there, and that all of my years spent studying French would now finally pay off. And I guess that my three years of middle school French would make me a lot better off than those who had not even studied a year. Perhaps the most nerve-racking part of all was thinking about how I could completely forget all the French I'd learned while I was in Belgium. It would definitely be very different from speaking French in class—I wouldn't be as comfortable speaking French to complete strangers (and trying not to make any mistakes at all with my limited vocabulary) as speaking French to my friends or my teachers (and knowing that they would understand if I did make a mistake). And then again, I wasn't the most optimistic person in my class. But I can try to be optimistic about my fate. After all, it would be a great experience—and I could improve my speaking skills as well. And the best part of all would be becoming great friends with Justine Marchal, whose family will be my host family for a week. I have also learned plenty in preparation for our seminars about the European Union, and in preparation for everything else that we will be doing there. I might even be able to say that I have learned more in these two or three months than I have ever in my life. There has also been plenty of excitement in my life during these few months. Anxiety as well, of course. Who couldn't be both excited and anxious about going to Belgium and living in a host family? And this my excitement and anxiety may well be beyond those of others—this is my first time traveling to Europe, my first time living in a host family, my first time traveling to a country where the official language isn't English or Chinese. And this excitement and anxiety increases as I count down the days left until I am riding the train from Paris to Brussels. It will continue to increase as we near the train station at Brussels, as I glance around for the face of Justine Marchal and her family, which I have seen only in pictures, as I spot them and try to find a comprehensible sentence or two that I could say to them... And trust me—it's not like I haven't had nightmares about this. This is also the first time that I have stopped to ponder about how I will truly miss them when I am forced to board the plane back to Chapel Hill, back to North Carolina, and back to the United States. But that does not mean that all hope is lost for Justine and I to stay friends, even though it will be much more difficult to do so from such far away places. But we will keep in touch. We will try to meet each other—face to face—every year, if possible. We will remain friends, bonded together by a type of friendship that can only truly arise from being unable to see each other whenever we want to. And as for the long-term goals—they are countless. I will have something extra to include in my college resume. I will be able to consider a future abroad, to see if it really fits into my future. I will have a chance to find out if French is really for me. If I had asked one of my Belgian friends what "E.U." stood for, they would have probably immediately answered, "les États-Unis." Of course, these three words are French. Translated into English, they mean "the United States," or rather "the States United." But here in America, if I had asked perhaps twenty people in Chapel Hill, or rather, anywhere in the United States, what "E.U." stood for, none of them would have answered "les États-Unis." And that is because here in the United States of America, "E.U." is an abbreviation for the European Union. And of those twenty Americans, perhaps only one or two of them would have known that. And it is our duty—that is, the duty of the UNION*—to increase that number by as much as possible. And to help us accomplish this goal, we have all attended the "Euro Club," which meets every Tuesday after school and every Thursday during lunch, and we have all prepared an "EU journal" with notes from those club meetings. So what exactly is the European Union? It is a family of twenty-seven democratic countries in Europe. They have shared values of democracy, freedom, and social justice. Their mission is to provide peace, prosperity, and stability for its peoples; overcome the divisions on the continent, ensure that its people can live in safety; promote balanced economic and social development; meet the challenges of globalization and preserve the diversity of the peoples of Europe; and uphold the values that Europeans share. But that is simply a basic outline of the goals of the European Union. It does so much more, and deserves so much more credit for doing what it does. The European Union has funded our trip to France and Belgium. And now it is your job to learn more about the EU and to help others learn more about it. Spread the word! *The UNION is made up of the students who will be traveling to Paris, France, and Brussels and Liège, Belgium in March 2007.
Emer's dream
Smith Middle School. It was the 3rd school I'd seen that day and I knew it wouldn't be the last. The teachers there seemed so friendly, but what really intrigued me was the French Department. Apparently, they were making a trip to Belgium. My friends Olivia had previously told me that her school in England were going to Belgium, but I had never imagined a school in America would go. The name America had gotten as the land of oppertunities was suddenly maing so much more sense! It was from that moment on, I had told myself, if they go to Belgium, and I am taking French, I will be on that trip. Since I found out there was a trip happening it had more meaning to me. It had the meaning of a goal to achieve- a dream.
I know more about the EU than you....Nathalie
I'm so excited! Can you guess why? I didn't think so. I'm excited because I know more about the EU than you. I have studied really hard, and I have learned that there are many differences between the EU and America. Just to clarify, the EU is the European Union. You will be surprised on how many differences there are between the EU and America. Lucky for you, I will not name them all. But I am going to tell you about some of the main differences. One of the big differences is space. In America people like their personal space and our houses are huge! Well, that's different in Europe. People live small and close to each other. Their houses are sometimes even connected. In America with our big lawns and big houses, we also have a lot of junk in our houses. Most of it is unnecessary too. In the EU people have what they need. Every day they go to the market to get food. They sometimes skip the bread in the market and go to a bakery to get food. Here in America we go to the grocery store once a week and buy a week's supply of food. That is also because we have to drive everywhere to get what we want. In Europe they walk or bike to the store and back. That makes it easier for them to go every day. I hope that you have learned from what I have just told you. And if you don't believe me, just go to one of the countries of the European Union, and you'll see that everything I've said is true. Oh…time really flies by when you're writing. The bell is about to ring; I have to go! Bye, bye. Nathalie
Thinking About Her Sister's Trip 3 Years ago..Abby's Reflections
Four years ago my sister was given the experience of a lifetime, and ever since then I've wanted that experience too. Ms.McMahon has finally given me that opportunity. Before I could wrap my head around it, I would be on a plane heading to my dream destination, France. Though I've been looking forward to this for a long time, I've never been more nervous and afraid at the same time. Nervous about the plane ride, and afraid of forgetting simple things that I'm going to need to know like "where is the bathroom?" and "what time is it?" I have taken three years to learn this language, all for this experience and if I get all the way to France and forget everything I've worked so hard to know it won't be a pretty sight. I've maintained a solid "A" all year long in French, but writing French and speaking French are two completely different things. I am a better writer than a speaker, especially in front of people who grew up speaking French as their first language. I'm sure that this trip is going to be amazing, and an experience of a lifetime but I just can't be excited when all I can think about is how I'm going to attempt to have a conversation with someone and just draw blanks. When my sister went to France she had the most amazing time, and when she came back she couldn't stop talking about how she wanted to go back. I wish I could have that, I wish I could be excited and not scared, but I can't. Seeing my sister in videos of her in France, talking so easily and seeing how she couldn't stop smiling and laughing, it all just made me want it more. I know that this was going to be an amazing experience after I adjusted to the language and the culture, but until then I stick to being scared out of my mind.
.......from Jenny's heart
I'm either more worried than I should be, or less worried than what's expected of me in situations like these. No, I'm not talking about a hostage situation or an emergency situation. This situation is traveling to Belgium in only near two weeks, and being thrust into a whole new culture that speaks a complete different language than from what I'm used to in the United States. Just thinking about it gets me a little nervous, a little worried, mostly excited, and just a tiny bit scared. I know that it's going to be a wonderful experience, touring Paris and speaking French to native speakers. I'm also so excited that I'll get to see my pen pal, Adrienne, and stay at her family's home in Liège, Belgium. I always look forward to the emails I send back and forth with my Belgian pen pal, Adrienne. We've been communicating together since the beginning of seventh grade in 2005, and I've learned a lot about the modern culture and daily routines of kids who are my age who attend school and do activities just like me. Adrienne has always expressed a great hope of seeing the United States in her own eyes sometime, and she states that she would love to see the country she's heard so much about. I only wish that after I've seen her country, I am able to take her to see mine! There are so many differences between the Belgians and the Americans, besides the obvious. I'd like to see how the school system and curriculum in Belgium differs from our North Carolina Standard Course of Study, what games the Belgians do for fun, and what extracurricular activities are offered. When I first signed up to take French as a language in sixth grade, I never dreamed that it would lead to this opportunity to learn more about another culture and broaden my global understanding. But yet, here I am, panicking over how many pairs of socks I'll need in Belgium and wondering if I'll make a taboo mistake when I'm talking in French. Another aspect of the trip I'm excited about is going to the headquarters of the EU (the European Union) and learning much more about the EU from European residents under the law of the EU. I've learned so, so much since I started my quest for knowledge a few months ago, and I only want to keep expanding this knowledge and put it to good use for the future. Who knows the day when the EU will surpass the United States in power? From the view today, it's very likely that that will happen. Until March 17th, then!
It's all about being "united in diversity"... Mme McMahon
On the surface it looks like just another funding opportunity for yet another school program. Let it sink in however, $67,000 and it has deep implications as well as benefits of equity and advocacy for students in our school district. In January of this year, the European Union awarded Smith Middle School 51,000 euros (roughly $67,000) for its "Getting to Know Europe" , a proposal I submitted after attending last summer's EU workshop hosted by UNC's EU Center of Excellence and World View. These dynamic international organizations invited teachers from around the state to explore and create lesson plans on the EU while sharing this grant opportunity and encouraging teachers to apply. Why has the European Union funded a public school? There are lots of reasons, but the clearest one to me lies in its name: Union. Union means bringing together, sharing knowledge, power, ideas and resources. Union means making choices for the common good. The EU has invited our American students to learn more about their institutions, their system of values that are also shared by our nation, and their being "united in diversity"- a richness of cultures brought together in one body. Nations around the world are drawing lines in the sand – demarcation lines that promote a we versus they mentality- opportunities such as this grant provides, breaks those barriers as students learn how to respect each other's opinions, value multiple perspectives and honor international relationships while bridging the gap to understanding through language. The cover story for the December 10th issue of Time Magazine emphasizes the need for schools to enter the 21st century by teaching more about our world. Students need to learn how to be "global trade literate, sensitive to foreign cultures and conversant in different languages". I can teach this from the front of the room, or I can take my students to host families in Belgium where they will experience European life up close and personal. Thanks to the EU grant, many students who used to "watch from the window" as their more affluent classmates boarded the plane to Europe are able to join us on this voyage of self-discovery and new cultures. Six teachers will be traveling from grant funds and are excited about bringing back new lessons for the classroom. How has our "journey of learning" progressed since we received this award? Traveling students have been meeting once a week after school or during lunches to learn not only about the European Union and its institutions but also about how life for a teen in a Europe is similar or different from life in America. With guidance from high school students who speak French well, my students can discuss many topics of EU life in French including: capital punishment, free market system and travel -friendly legislation with the introduction of the Euro. A university professor and local French speakers have visited my classroom to add depth to the studies. We have studied Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream speech" in French so that they can discuss his dream for human rights in America with their Belgian pen pals and compare it to the EU's mission as well as their own personal dreams. In a few weeks Belgian and American teens will be discussing "shared values" and hopes for the future, not only for their respective countries but also for the world. My students asked, "How do we publicize what we have learned?" After discussions with my Belgian colleague and his students, "Union" came out the front runner for our T-shirts explaining that Union is the same word in English and French and shows that there is strength in unity. My students agreed, two student artists created the logos and all of us will be wearing T-shirts honoring this international friendship. The physical journey begins March 17 as twenty-nine students (26 middle school students and 4 high school students) as well as 6 teachers board the plane for Europe. At least fifteen of the travelers were fully or partially funded by the grant. One student cannot stop smiling as he whispers daily "I am going to see the Eiffel Tower" –one of several economically disadvantaged student travelers who thought that this trip was only for those who could afford it- never dreaming that the EU would pay for this experience of a lifetime. The plane lands in Paris first where we will spend three nights. We will meet our Belgian pen pals at the "Grand Place" in Brussels on the 4th day. This first meeting when the students exchange "la bise" and begin to communicate face to face is one of the most memorable days of my life. They have been corresponding by email or MSN for a few months, but actually witnessing their excitement at seeing each other makes the time and effort for this trip pale in comparison to the joy of watching these young people connect. I can feel myself saying, " Yes, I can do this again." With our Belgian hosts we will visit the European Parliament and return to Liege to spend four days with our international families. My students will attend classes at Saint-Benoit Saint-Servais school in Liege, participate in a "rally" of the town, visit Maastricht and the American WWII cemetery and be entertained by the Belgian students for a host-family/American "souper-spectacle" on Saturday night. The American students will return to Brussels on Friday to visit the European Commission, and we will leave Liege to spend one night in a hotel in Brussels on Sunday, March 25th, an important date in EU history because it is the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome. Thanks to the European Union, a journey of learning about international affairs, friendship and self-discovery has begun. My deepest gratitude goes to UNC's EU Center of Excellence, to World View for all their encouragement and support and to M. Labeye, my Belgian colleague who has worked with me for ten years on this creating successful Exchange Experiences. Robin McMahon French Teacher Smith Middle School Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Willing to go the Distance...by Sarah
A boring bus ride and maybe a stay over night, this is what comes to mind when you think of a 8th grade field trip. Ms. McMahon put a whole new definition in my head of the meaning of what an educational trip can be. Eight hours over seas and a ten night stay in Paris, Belgium, Brussels and many other places. This is a child hood dream that has been granted. This amazing opportunity has become open to the students taking French in Smith Middle School. There is no doubt that this trip will be full of new experiences and life long memories but it scares me out of my mind every time I think about having to talk and stay in a home with a Belgium family. No books, no teacher only what I had learned in class. I am scared that the culture shock will cause me to forget all I have learned or how to say that I DO NOT eat sea food. This only means that I have to work very hard to get the work done. I also have to dedicate lots of time to all my other classes to keep good grades so I am eligible to go. I am willing to go the distance and I am positive that it will all be worth it.

A familiar trio of singers with Texas connections is coming home to Kansas after spending three years on concert tours.
The Texas Tenors, composed of JC Fisher, Marcus Collins and John Hagan, will perform with the Wichita Symphony at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28 at Century II Concert Hall in Wichita.
Many will remember the trio from their appearance on America's Got Talent in 2009 where they eventually took fourth place.
Pratt first became acquainted with JC Fisher when he was a featured performer at the Miss Kansas Pageant. He also met his future wife, Miss Kansas 1998 Jennifer Vannatta at the pageant. The audience was surprised and thrilled when he actually proposed to her on stage.
Since the trio performed on America's Got Talent, they have traveled and performed extensively. They have performed almost 500 concerts in three years with performances in almost every state plus overseas concerts in China and the United Kingdom, Fisher said.
The Wichita performance will actually be their second performance in Kansas. They had an earlier performance in Hutchinson. Many in Pratt took advantage of the closeness of the Hutchinson performance and made the trip to hear the Tenors' unique sound.
With their combination of country roots, classic sounds, gospel and original music, the trio is very excited about what is happening in their lives.
Their performance on America's Got Talent has opened many doors for the trio and helped them start a growing process.
"America's Got Talent helped us get things going. We have grown together," Fisher said.
The trio does a variety of music styles including country to classical to Broadway in three-part harmony. They cover music from John Denver, Alabama and Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Their variety of musical styles has proven popular and drawn large audiences that fill their performance venues.
"We've been selling out our concerts," Fisher said. "It's a unique production. It's different from any concert you've seen."
For those wanting an early sampling of the Texas Tenors, they will perform "God Bless the USA" on the Fox USA Morning show on Monday, Feb. 8. They will also be performing two weeks later on the Mike Huckabee Show.
Fisher, a graduate of Wichita State University, moved to Katy, Texas after graduation. He worked in Galveston and worked on cruise ships where he met Collins who had also performed on soap operas. Fisher also sang in Italy for two years.
Eventually, Fisher and Collins hooked up with Hagan, a highly regarded operatic tenor. The three decided to give America's Got Talent a try. Although they just threw their music together for the competition, the exposure helped launch their singing career.
Besides touring, they are working on a Christmas album.
For more information on the Texas Tenors visit their web site www.thetexastenors.com.
Visit www.wichitasymphony.org for Texas Tenor ticket information.
JC and Jennifer were married on Feb. 7, 2004. They live in Kansas City and have three children: Jackson, 6, Jenson, 4, and Jennings, 2.

Fish Hoek
Fish Hoek is a picturesque town situated about halfway down the Cape Peninsula, between Cape Town and Simon's Town. It is well known for its beach, which gets jam-packed on sunny days.
Fish Hoek is renowned for its friendly hospitality, proximity to all sorts of tourist attractions and activities besides boasting one of the best swimming beaches in the Cape. There is also a good suburban railway [10] link with Cape Town to the north and Simon's Town to the south. As a coastal suburb of Cape Town, Fish Hoek is popular as a residence for commuters and holidaymakers alike. The traditional industries of 'trek' fishing and angling co-exist with the leisure pursuits of surfing, kayaking, sailing and sunbathing.
Fish Hoek or Vissers Baay or Visch Hoek appears on the earliest maps of the Cape. The arrival of European settlers in 1652 forced the indigenous population to leave the area, and during the 1700s farmers appeared in the Noordhoek area. Fish Hoek beach was used on an informal basis for whaling and fishing, but it was not until 1918 that it was laid out as a township.
The first grant of Crown Land in Fish Hoek was granted to Andreas Bruins in 1818. The land was sold several times before being bought by Hester Sophia de Kock in 1883. She was then a spinster of 51 years old. In 1901, late in life, she married a local farmer, one Jacob Isaac de Villiers who came to live with her on the farm.
Although she farmed wheat and vegetables she started providing accommodation for people who wanted to stay in Fish Hoek, and so became the first local tourist entrepreneur. Fish Hoek has remained, with its situation and views, a beacon of extra-ordinary accommodation ever since. Having realized that Fish Hoek was becoming popular she left instructions in her will that the farm was to be surveyed and the land sold as building plots, after the deaths of Hester and Jacob, the land was sold off, the first sale taking place in 1918.
This was the beginning of the town of Fish Hoek. Initially people built holiday cottages but as there was a good train service to Cape Town a more permanent community soon arose. By 1940 it was big enough to be declared a municipality and was administered by the Town Council until 1994. It is now part of the City of Cape Town.
Hester and Issac de Villiers, with other members of their family are buried in the small graveyard next to the NG Kerk (Dutch Reformed Curch) in Kommetjie Road.
The farmhouse on the site of the present Homestead Naval Mess near the railway crossing became an hotel. The original building subsequently burned down in 1947.
Open boat whaling took place in Fish Hoek from 1817 to 1868 where Southern Right and Humpback whales were targeted. The whalers would attack female whales who had arrived to calve, and their newborn. Eventually all the whaling operations were closed down, and nowadays the whales know that it is safe return, and come to False Bay to calve. Whales can be seen from about August to the end of November, however sometimes they arrive as early as June.
In the early days of European settlement False Bay was teeming with fish. Trek fishing has taken place ever since. Harders and yellowtail are the fish most frequently caught but nowadays in greatly reduced numbers. "Trek" is dutch for pull and refers to the pulling in of the net.
The original barn of the Fish Hoek Farm now called Mountain View can be seen in Cottage Lane. It has been converted into two cottages and is not open to the public.
Get in[edit]
By Car[edit]
There are 3 main routes to Fish Hoek :
From the north : Via the Main Road (M4) along the east coast of the peninsula. From Cape Town you will pass through Cape Town's southern suburbs before reaching Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Clovelly followed by Fish Hoek.
From the south : Via the Main Road (M4) along the east coast of the peninsula. From Cape Point you will pass through Simon's Town and Glencairn before you get into Fish Hoek.
From the west : Via Kommetjie Road (M65), which leads from Kommetjie, Noordhoek, Sun Valley and Tokai.
By Train[edit]
MetroRail [11] operates frequent and reliable trains from Cape Town to Fish Hoek ; the route goes through the southern suburbs then via Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Clovelly to Fish Hoek. From Fish Hoek the train goes on to Glencairn and Simon's Town. The section from Muizenberg to Simon's Town is right next to the sea and is very scenic. The station is on the corner of Beach and Station roads, one block from the Main Road and a 3 minute walk from the beach itself. Scheduled train times for this route can be found here (look for the "Cape Town-Wynberg-Simon's Town" link).
By Bus[edit]
Golden Arrow [12] operates frequent buses to Fish Hoek along the Main Road (M4) from Muizenberg to the north and Simon's Town to the south. Buses also ply the route from Kommetjie and Sun Valley (via Kommetjie Road, the M65), Noordhoek (via Noordhoek Main Road, the M6) and Tokai (via Ou Kaapse Weg, the M64). Buses arrive at and depart from the train station (see above).
Get around[edit]
Fish Hoek "town centre" (the area around the beach, Main Road and train station) is small enough that it can all be covered on foot very easily.
Valyland Shopping Centre is about 15 minutes walk from the beach up Recreation Road.
Longbeach Mall (a large, relatively new shopping centre) is just over 4 km from the beach, westwards on Kommetjie Road (M65). Frequent buses and taxis ply this route ; both leave from and arrive at the train station.
See[edit][add listing]
Fish Hoek is rated as a great place for whale-watching and is only a few minutes drive from a colony of penguins at Boulders Beach. From Simon's Town, about a 15 minute drive from Fish Hoek, there is shark-diving and a boat trips to see the seals. There are loads of excellent restaurants in Fish Hoek, Glencairn, Simon's Town, Noordhoek, Muizenberg and Kalk Bay, all of which are within 15 minutes drive of Fish Hoek.
Do[edit][add listing]
Next to the beach is the famous catwalk from which you can explore the rock pools and get great views across the bay. Unfortunately a severe storm in 2008 caused a lot of damage to the catwalk. It has since been repaired. Note that there are sections without handrails - potentially dangerous for children or the elderly.
Fish Hoek beach is rated as one of the most beautiful and family friendly beaches in the Western Cape ; along with Boulders Beach near Simon's Town it is probably the best and safest swimming beach in and around Cape Town.
The beach has restaurants and shopping close by, and has changing rooms, showers and an excellent group of lifeguards.
Buy[edit][add listing]
Fish Hoek valley boasts three principle shopping nodes, namely, Longbeach Mall and Sun Valley Mall in the west, the Fish Hoek Shopping District in the east, adjacent to the beach, and Valyland which lies between the two.
Eat[edit][add listing]
There is an excellent selection of dining opportunities available within the Valley, with multiple coffee shops, restaurants, snack bars and take-aways providing a wide variety of choice which should satisfy everyone's tastes.
Some of the better-known places to eat in Fish Hoek include :
Drink[edit][add listing]
Fish Hoek is a "dry" town, which means that there are no bottle stores selling alcohol. You can however order beers, wine and other spirits when in a restaurant or pub.
The reason for this lies in the Deed of Grant when the land was granted to Andreas Bruins, it contained a clause that there should be no wine house on the property. This old law was introduced at the time when wagon deliveries to Simon's Town were common and it served to prevent the drivers from stopping off for a drink (or two or three) and arriving in an intoxicated state in Simon's Town.
The residents of Fish Hoek were determined to keep bottle stores out of the town. In 1956, after having opposed many license applications they formed an association called The Defenders of Fish Hoek. They succeded in getting the Liquor Act amended so that no further applications would be allowed. Under our new Constitution the Act fell away and after consultation with the local Magistrate residents voted for restaurant and bar licenses only.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
A wide variety of accommodation types are available in Fish Hoek, from self catering, to guest houses and hotels.
Get out[edit]
Kalk Bay a small picturesque fishing village is just around the corner. It has a whole row of quaint little shops and a couple of great eateries, situated right on the sea, where we can drink the great Cape Wines, eat fresh seafood and watch the fishing boats coming in. St James is really great for the littlies, with a safe tidal pool and little changing boxes! Muizenberg has a magnificent beach that goes on for miles, with surfing and good swimming.
Towards Cape Point is the historical village of Simon's Town, a South African Naval base, which is great fun to visit. There is a statue of Just Nuisance, a Teddy Bear Museum and a Gemstone Factory.
A little further on is Boulders Beach, which has a resident Jackass penguin colony. The penguins come right up onto the beach and among the resident's gardens, where they nest. Then on to Cape Point, where two oceans meet there are baboons and lots of wild flowers and animals in the Game and Nature Reserve. Curios are available from the African Arts and Crafts village. Kommetjie is famous for surfing (large waves), crayfishing and bird life.

You will find our range of new compatible ink, toner and paper are made to the highest quality standards. We guarantee that the print results will be the same as those of an original or OEM consumable
Will a compatible printer consumable void my manufacturer's warranty?

Last Sunday's column chronicled the gathering darkness enveloping the nation's middle class. Today's column reveals the extent to which the federal government has knowingly contributed to its growing desperation. Next Sunday's column will suggest a fix — a radical fix.
The American middle class has been central to the nation's well-being and economic prosperity for more than a century. Consumer spending, most of it by the middle class, constitutes about 70 percent of our gross domestic product (GDP).
When the middle class is employed, confident and secure, there is no stopping the American engine of democracy and prosperity. When it isn't, bad things happen — and happen quickly.
The nation's economic meltdown that began five years ago is a blistering example of things going south in a hurry. America's economic implosion and its dispirited middle class are nothing short of a national security crisis.
Americans have figured out that their government in Washington doesn't work. But they have no clue with respect to how profoundly and fundamentally broken it is. And more importantly, they don't understand that Washington is content with the way it is because it works for itself. Disillusioning as it is to comprehend, the hard fact of the matter is that Washington works for Washington, and it doesn't care that it doesn't work for us.
What it relies upon is our continued belief in a fiction that is killing the nation. The fiction is that most Democrats believe the problems are the fault of the Republicans and most Republicans believe the fault rests with the Democrats. As long as most Americans buy that false propaganda, we will remain pawns on Washington's chessboard.
Washington's corrupt system depends upon ignorance by millions of folks like you and me. And we play right into their hands. Look, for example, at a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll. It reveals that 42 percent of us don't know that Obamacare is law — 42 percent! Twelve percent of the nation believe Congress repealed it, 7 percent believe the Supreme Court found it unconstitutional, and another 23 percent simply didn't know whether it's law or not. Is it any wonder Washington gets away with murder?
In case you've forgotten, health care costs account for about 18 percent of the nation's GDP. Annual health care expenditures are about $2.6 trillion. At least one-third of those expenditures are wasted. That waste would fund the Department of Defense. And the uncontrolled expansion of the Medicare and Medicaid entitlements will soon swallow the entire federal budget.
Although Obamacare does little to deal with these problems, Democrats love it, which is goofy, while Republicans would replace it with the current system, also goofy. And nearly half of us don't know whether it's a law or not. Ignorance isn't bliss. It's a prison.
So you want to fix a broken Senate? Start by getting rid of the leaders, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell. They are small-minded partisans who have proven beyond a doubt that they won't grapple with our most pressing problems. The Senate must also amend its rules to eliminate the filibuster and the 60-vote supermajority that is currently required to pass a bill. That's called the "nuclear option," and it's desperately needed.
In the House, start by ousting John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi, both partisan slugs. Then abolish the House Rules Committee, which prohibits members from offering amendments to bills when they reach the House floor. Finally, it's necessary to revise in most states the partisan process that state legislatures use to gerrymander House districts. This process has created hundreds of hyper-partisan districts represented by wingnuts of the right or the left. The New York Times political maven, Nate Silver, has reported there are only 35 swing districts remaining in the House — out of 435.
But worse than the Senate or the House is the executive branch. Including the Postal Service, it has about 2.7 million full- and part-time employees. I don't call them workers because an enormous number of them don't do productive work. Washington's best kept secret is that the executive branch is an immense welfare system that stands in the way of good government.
If the federal employees who have no real jobs and those who are incapable or unwilling to perform the jobs they hold were eliminated, the efficiency and effectiveness of those who remained would skyrocket.
But the system, as presently structured, won't permit that to happen. Any effort to remove bad apples or people employed in sinecures triggers complaints of discrimination and harassment that then paralyzes the effort in equal opportunity employment red-tape proceedings that drag on for years.
In fact, the culture of the executive branch has become so stifling and self-serving that Cabinet secretaries, the White House and the president either turn a blind eye to its perverse existence or praise it. Last month, at the ceremony for John Berry, the outgoing director of the Office of Personnel Management, President Barack Obama said, "John has been a champion for federal workers — men and women who devote their lives to vital tasks." A few days ago, Michelle Obama continued her federal agency thank you tour at the Agriculture Department where she said, "I'm here just to thank you for the terrific work."
Some federal workers do devote their lives to vital tasks, but hundreds of thousands don't. I know. I worked for the federal government for more than 35 years.

Two Smyrna High School football players signed their Letter of Intent today to play football next year at Delaware State University.
Ameer Watson and Darren Helwig, who just happen to best friends, received full scholarships to play at Delaware State.
Both players were named First Team All State this year for their efforts on the football field.
Watson, a tight end and two-year starter, was also recruited by the University of Maine, the University of St. Augustine, and Kutztown, but Delaware State just seemed like the perfect fit.
"I feel accomplished," Watson said. "I'm going to play at the next level and a lot of people said I couldn't do it. And to play at a Division I school, that's great."
With plans of studying criminal justice, Watson is excited to play with Helwig. As a matter of fact, the chance to play football with Helwig in college was a big part in his decision.
As for his success at Smyrna, Watson contributes that to his coaches and playing with Helwig.
"Darren being my best friend was always there," Watson said. "My work ethic was his work ethic."
Helwig, an offensive guard and three-year starter, also said Delaware State just seemed like a good fit. He connected with the coaches and liked that the school was so close to home.
Recruited by other schools such as Monmouth and Coastal Caroline, Helwig said he likes the coaches at Delaware State.
"Most schools sent me a letter or a brochure, but with Delaware State I was called out of class one day and the head coach was there. It showed me they were really serious," Helwig said.
And he can't wait to be one of the few football players to get to take his play to the next level: "Not a lot of athletes play at this level. Two percent go on to play at the college level and I get to be one of them."
Helwig contributes his success at Smyrna to being in the weight room every day for four years. He plans on studying sports medicine because he wants to stay in the field of sports.
He also said being able to play college football with his best friend was also a big factor in his decision.
"It's cool me and my best friend will be playing at the same school," he said.

Canon EOS 5D, 12.8MP, full frame
Posted 09 August 2005 - 01:14 PM
Price is rumored around 3400 â¬
Posted 09 August 2005 - 02:05 PM
On a different note, this (if true) is a little disconcerting to me. Canon seems to be going in the direction of full frame cameras even though they are developing the EF-S lenses to complement the crop sensor cameras!?! I find it hard to believe that they are going to continue developing "pro-sumer" crop sensor cameras and complimentary lenses along with a line of professional full frame cameras. That would leave a lot of people that have committed themselves to using EF-S lenses with no clear upgrade path! This is precisely the reason I've only purchased lenses compatible with full frame cameras to use with my 20D.
Argh! This is such a complicated and expensive hobby!

Sorry, Herbko, but I think that 3400⬠will be around 3900-4000 US $
mmmm............Sorry again
I was half joking. The cameras usually go for around the same number of euros and dollars even though there's a 20% currency difference. Just checked the price of a 20D in the US & Germany on the ebay sites of the respective countries and they are both around 1250. Also, by the time a housing is available, the price is likely to be 10% lower.

I was wondering why Canon never introduced any EF-S L glass or something like the Nikon DX 10.5mm fisheye. Maybe this is the answer as Canonâs future semi pro class features full frame too.
Looks awesome...however a larger viewfinder would have been nice
From the specs the viewfinder is much bigger than the 20D one's. A true full frame viewfinder, except not 100% coverage. It's only slightly smaller in comparison to the 1Ds (same magnification).
Posted 09 August 2005 - 03:43 PM
Posted 09 August 2005 - 04:13 PM
Though the dimensions might not be the same between the 5D and the 20D, it looks like the number of buttons and their placement is fairly similar between the two. It'd be interesting to see if you could modify an existing 20D housing to fit the 5D.

My gut feeling is that this brochure is a hoax. But probably not that far from the truth on specs. I would expect them to use the 3D name (harking back to the excellent EOS 3 and also getting one up on the Nikon D2!). Or go for 30D as a step up from the 20D.

That camera in the photo is consumer build quality, it would be a big ask to charge 3-4000 USD for that. Second hand 1dS can be brought in good condition in that price range.
Canon is committed to full frame, unlike Nikon. The flagship Canon will always be full frame (the 1.3 crop may disappear in time , though). I'm sure you'll be able to buy a 1.6 crop camera for your EF-S lenses for a long time yet, though.
My guess is that this is a fake. Anyone want to bet a new 1DsMk3 on it?
