For most people, the first 3 months use of glutathione is crucial for it is the time where glutathione is building its foundation (chemistry re-alignment) and once built this is only the start for its whitening process. The lightening of skin is gradual (speed is depending on your metabolism and body chemical functioning) this is where you will notice that your skin is shinier and healthier than before.

Note: Whitening effects STILL vary with skin types and YOUR LIFESTYLE. Faster results are seen if you limit your alcohol intake, caffeine intake, smoking, and other forms of vices that might lessen the anti-oxidant effect of your glutathione and vitamin C. And of course, you still need to avoid too much exposure from sunlight.
Precautions: Products for parenteral use should be visually inspected before administration, when the container or the solution makes it possible, in order to possibly detect the presence of particles or of an abnormal color. Do not use in case of presence of turbidity or precipitates.
Use in pregnancy & lactation: The available data show that Glutathione, being a substance physiologically present in cells, does not cause unwanted effects in women during pregnancy or breast-feeding. Nevertheless, as with all drugs, Glutathione should only be administered to pregnant or lactating mothers on proper medical advice.
Interactions: Vitamin K3, Vitamin B12, Calcium Pantothenate, orotic acid, antihistamines, sulfanilamides and tetracycline can affect the bioavailability of glutathione. In the absence of compatibility studies, Glutathione should not be mixed with other products.
Undesirable effects: After intramascular administration, rare of skin rash have been reported which have disappeared after discontinuation of treatment.
Over dosage: No case of overdose has been reported. If needed, symptomatic treatments may be employed.
Storage: Store below 25ºC. Protect from sunlight. Constituted solutions of Glutathione maintain satisfactory potency at room temperature (up to 25ºC) up to 8hrs.

Woman with child drives on Phoenix airport runway
Woman with child drives on Phoenix airport runway
PHOENIX (AP) — A woman driving with a small child in her car crashed through a gate at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drove on the runway, Phoenix police said today.
The woman rammed the airport gate around 10 p.m. Thursday and started crossing the runway, police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump said. Officers forced the car to stop after a few minutes and detained the driver.
The incident was the latest involving vehicles crashing through the airport's gates or fences and getting onto its runways. Sky Harbor spent $10 million to upgrade its perimeter security and access gates after a man being chased by police in 2005 crashed a stolen pickup through a gate and drove onto the runways, passing several jets on a taxiway. In 2003, two teens in a stolen car crashed through a perimeter fence and drove onto the airfield. Both incidents caused brief closure of aircraft operations.
The driver and the child in Thursday's mishap were not injured, Crump said. The woman may have been impaired, but he did not elaborate.
Police said they were not aware of any flights being endangered, but airport operations were stopped for about 15 minutes because of it.
Sky Harbor's communication department declined to release any details, saying only that all operations returned to normal shortly after a "security incident."
Police also declined to release any more information until later today.

Because you're just wrong?
Now whats your point, other than you don't have a clue about the Jets cap situation and posted something that was wrong. But hey, argue from another angle. You said they're in cap hell. They're easily under now and will be 30+ mil under next year. So yeah, try again.

§ 1519a.
Limitation on procurement of binary chemical weapons
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds may be obligated or expended after September 24, 1983, for the production of binary chemical weapons unless the President certifies to the Congress that for each 155-millimeter binary artillery shell or aircraft-delivered binary aerial bomb produced a serviceable unitary artillery shell from the existing arsenal shall be rendered permanently useless for military purposes.
Funds appropriated pursuant to the authorization of appropriations for the Army in section 101 of this Act may be used for the establishment of a production base for binary chemical munitions and for the procurement of components for 155-millimeter binary chemical artillery projectiles, but such funds may not be used for the actual production of binary chemical munitions before October 1, 1985.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), before the production of binary chemical munitions may begin after September 30, 1985, the President must certify to Congress in writing that, in light of circumstances prevailing at the time the certification is made, the production of such munitions is essential to the national interest.

Will the New GM can Rex?
I still can't believe the praise this overhyped ego-maniac gets from Jets fans. He was a great coach with the Giants pre salary cap when you could build a team with no cap ramifications. . Maybe his best attribute is the coaches he surrounded himself with ( Belicheck, Coughlin, Payton, Crenell, Weis) but even he "produced" some clunkers ( Handley , Palmer, Groh, Mangini, Sparano).
Will the New GM can Rex?
I'll take Holmgren over Polian. Holmgren actually did a pretty good job in Cleveland shouldn't have been fired. Also the guy I would want picking a QB. I find it hard to believe Pettine will not be back. But if not I think Jim Leavitt would make a good addition with Rex.
His recent picks included; Anthony Gonzalez, Tony Ugoh, Jerry Hughes, Mike Pollack, Phillip Wheeler, Kevin Thomas. Polian couldn't even pick his nose in the past several NFL drafts.
Hell no!
Stop listening to the talking heads and do some research before you make a suggestion.

I want a GM who doesnt believe in the clown school that is currently the way things are run at Florham park. I want a GM that doesnt go on the field to catch punts like Tannanbaum. I want a GM that doesnt go do pushups on the field as part of some ridiculous bet with the players. If your the GM, you act like a professional. The players and head coach arent your buddies. They work for you. Currently we have a GM and coach who are just "one of the guys" and that is not conducive to a winning environment. Do you see this type of antics from winning organizations? Everyone in that building needs to become accountable for their work and its results.
Hire Clinkscales back from the Raiders to be GM, Him leaving to go to the Raiders showed what he thought of the direction of the team with Tanny and Rex...I would trust his decisions going forward
On more point, if you recall, the mediots a few years ago proclaimed how KC was an up and coming power in the AFC. The culture has changed and Pioli has brought the NE way of doing things to KC. Yeah, Pioli about to be fired and KC probably on its 3rd HC in 4 years.
The NE way of doing things can be best summed up by one name, Tammy. When he is done, the stinking pats I knew growing up will reemerge.
What about the GM from Cleveland? Heard they aren't keeping him, he's done a great job with the drafts, I would take him
I like Eric DeCosta, Marc Ross, or Reggie McKenzie from Green Bay:
Russ Ball, Packers VP of football administration/player finance: Known as a good people person with an ability to manage, Ball has overseen the Packers cap since 2008 and has 23 years of NFL experience with five teams. He actually got his start as a strength coach. That diversity of experience -- and his association with a championship program -- makes him an intriguing candidate.
Nick Caserio, Patriots director of player personnel: The 36-year-old has quickly become one of the most respected personnel guys on the circuit, with steely focus and drive, and worked extensively on the coaching side as well during the Patriots' championship years. As one GM said, "He gets it." That likely would be apparent in an interview setting, but it won't be easy to pry him from Bill Belichick's side.
Eric DeCosta, Ravens director of player personnel: DeCosta has been a top-of-the-list GM candidate for a half-decade now, but it'll take an enormous opportunity for the 40-year-old to uproot. His wife is from Baltimore, and he's seen colleagues go elsewhere and find browner pastures. Plus, if such an opportunity doesn't come, he's content to wait and succeed Ozzie Newsome as Baltimore GM.
Brian Gaine, Dolphins director of player personnel: Miami's instability notwithstanding, Gaine was part of constructing the Cowboys' talent-rich roster in the middle of the decade, sat next to Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland in the draft room in Miami, and has worked both small-picture (advance scouting) and big-picture (team building) parts of an operation. Gaine is well-regarded in the scouting community.
Tom Gamble, 49ers director of player personnel: This season in San Francisco has caused a lot of folks to re-evaluate how the 49ers were built. Scot McCloughan, having already been a GM, doesn't qualify for this list, but he might get another look as a GM (maybe in Oakland), and Gamble's is another name sure to come up, with his experience in pro and college scouting, contract negotiations and coaching.
Dennis Hickey, Buccaneers director of player personnel: Promoted this year after serving for six years as the team's college scouting director, Hickey played a big part in turning Tampa Bay's roster over, from an aging group under Jon Gruden to its current state as the league's youngest team. Even though the Bucs are struggling now, there's still a strong base to build around.
Will Lewis, Seahawks director of pro personnel: Lewis is another ex-Packer personnel man. He went with Ted Thompson to Seattle in 2000 and carries a pretty complete résumé. He's regarded as a solid evaluator and hard worker with leadership potential. He also brings experience as an NFL player and a coach. The Seahawks' continued improvement will only help his cause.
Reggie McKenzie is no stranger to the draft war room and is one of the hottest prospective GMs in the NFL. (Evan Siegle/Associated Press)
Reggie McKenzie, Packers director of football operations: He might be the most attractive candidate on the market, with the Packers' success and his 25 years of NFL experience. A former player, McKenzie started his run in personnel with the Packers back in 1994 and worked his way up. His ties to former Green Bay GM Ron Wolf have many believing he'll wind up getting the job in Oakland.
Pat Moriarty, Ravens VP of football administration: Another "cap guy", but one with a very interesting background. Moriarty briefly played in the NFL and was in commercial banking for more than a decade after that. He joined the Belichick Browns in 1994 and has managed the financial structure of one of the NFL's most stable rosters over the past decade, while working closely with Newsome.
Marc Ross, Giants director of college scouting: The 38-year-old has put together an impressive run of draft classes since joining the Giants in 2007, and was in the mix for the Seattle GM position when Pete Carroll was hired as coach in 2010. Ross was once the league's youngest college director, at 27 years old in Philly, and has a Princeton degree, which is sure to please the business side of an organization.
Les Snead, Falcons director of player personnel: Snead has been with the Falcons for 14 years (and in the NFL for 17), so he's seen plenty -- from the team's Cinderella Super Bowl run in 1998 to the highs and lows with Michael Vick. And his most recent experience at GM Thomas Dimitroff's side only bolsters his reputation as a well-rounded candidate capable of leading at the highest level.
Ruston Webster, Titans VP of player personnel: Quietly, Tennessee has built a solid roster, seems to have found the right mix at quarterback and has ridded itself of troubled players without a big talent dropoff. Seattle's interim GM before John Schneider was hired, Webster was part of that the past two years, and part of Tampa Bay's late-1990s/early-2000s rebuilding, and has a wealth of pro and college scouting experience.
Doug Whaley, Bills assistant general manager: Whaley is considered the future in Buffalo, working now at the side of Buddy Nix. The roster has improved greatly of late, despite the team's recent swoon, due to Nix and Whaley's ability to turn over every rock to find talent. Just as important, Whaley was raised in the Steeler system, so he has strong knowledge of what a championship team looks like.
I like it! lets do it.
BEREA, Ohio -- Browns General Manager Tom Heckert, at times sounding almost resigned to being gone, indicated Friday that losing final say over the roster could be a deal-breaker for him and will be a key issue in postseason talks with owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner.
"I'm not going to lie," Heckert said in an informal chat with the media. "It's important. It's why I came here. I've said it before, everywhere I've been I've kind of been the personnel guy even though I didn't have final say. I'm not saying it's an end-all, but it's very important to me."
Heckert, who has two years left on his five-year deal, currently has final say written into his contract. But Banner, in an interview with The Plain Dealer last month, said he prefers the coach to have that authority, like Andy Reid does in Philadelphia. He also said he'd consider letting the GM have it if he were extremely talented.
Would Heckert remain if he were stripped of that power?
"I don't know, that's something I'd have to discuss with the powers that be," he said.
He stressed that being able to shape the roster is why he left his GM post in Philadelphia in 2010 -- where he worked under Banner -- to take this job.
"For me, it's the who picks the players and who makes the trades, all of that stuff," he said. "That's the stuff that I think is important."
Heckert said both he and Pat Shurmur have no idea if they'll be back, and that they haven't asked.
"That's the honest truth, and Pat's the same way," he said. "I think it's the right thing to do do. Just wait wait 'til the season's out. I can handle two weeks."
He said he anticipates hearing something not long after the season finale in Pittsburgh Dec. 30.
"We haven't been told exactly when, but I'd think right away," he said.
Heckert, who said he and Banner get along fine, actually hesitated for a moment when asked if he'd like to return.
"Uh . . you know what? Yeah, I do," he said. "There's a lot of things I'm sure we're going to sit down and talk about after the season. But right now, of course, I really enjoy the city and I really enjoy this team and so that would be the ideal situation."
Heckert, whose young team has rallied to win five of its past eight heading into Sunday's home finale against the Redskins, would most likely be in high demand if he leaves. He's stocked the Browns with exciting young talent such as Brandon Weeden, Trent Richardson, Josh Gordon, Greg Little, Joe Haden, T.J. Ward, Jabaal Sheard and Phil Taylor.
"If things don't work out, I'm pretty confident that I'm going to get a shot somewhere else," he said. "I hope that's the case. If I was like, 'Oh no, what am I going to do?' then maybe (it would be harder), but I'm not that."
He acknowledged that it would be disappointing not to finish what he started, especially considering the Browns appear on the verge of becoming contenders in the AFC North next season.
"But I do get it," he said. "It's just one of those things. I think there's a variety of reasons why that could happen, but I'm OK with that. I don't know how else to react. If it doesn't work out, I can't just sit around and pout about it, I've got to go try to do it somewhere else."
He chuckled when asked about the unofficial "save Heckert campaign" started by fans and some media members. Conversely, there's been a backlash against reports that Banner will replace Heckert with former Browns personnel executive Mike Lombardi.
"I get teased about it a lot upstairs, but what can I say?" Heckert said.
"Just being out and about, a lot of people come up and it's great. I appreciate it. I guess it's kind of funny. I don't know if it's the lesser of two evils?
That's what it seems like if we're comparing me to people. I don't know Mike (Lombardi) at all. It's just crazy. The positive part with me is fine. I don't know why the other stuff (the anti-Lombardi sentiment) is going on."
He said he doesn't think too much about all the Lombardi reports from national media members such as Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports and Pro Football Weekly's Hub Arkush.
"It is what it is," said Heckert. "That happens all the time."
He said he hasn't asked Haslam or Banner if the reports are true "because I'm going to find out here in two weeks anyway." He also said he and his agent Bob LaMonte haven't put out feelers to other teams yet. "No, all of that stuff will take place after the season," he said.
Asked if the Browns should retain both him and Shurmur to keep the train rolling, he laughed and said "Yes! . . Anytime you make changes it's going to affect some things. I'm not saying you have to start all over, but it's not going to be just smooth, it's just not. I guess that's the only way I can answer it. Apparently if they do it, they think it's OK."
He declined to say if he'd stay if Shurmur were fired.
"I don't even want to go down that road," he said. "We'll see what happens."
He acknowledged that this has been a dream job for him because his dad, Tom, was a scout for the Browns in the 1980s and Heckert became hooked.
"There's no question about it," he said. "I was around when the fans were crazy and that'd be awesome to be back. Our fans are great now, but it was different because we were winning. The fans have been phenomenal. Just from our games, I can tell they kinda see where it's going. They should be happy. Eventually they're going to see this team's going to be pretty good."
Heckert says Weeden "has everything you want" and that Richardson is everything they hoped he'd be. He said the team is poised to take off and that the staff isn't surprised by the current run. "We thought we'd make the playoffs (this year)," he said.
Heckert said if he leaves, he hopes Banner retains a lot of the people Heckert hired.
"They'd be crazy not to keep them," Heckert said. "This scouting staff is phenomenal. We have some great, great people working in this building.
Obviously without those guys, it doesn't mean anything. That's the hardest part. If things don't work out, it changes people's lives."
The Jets are already searching for general manager Mike Tannenbaum's replacement, according to a report, but he still may stick around.
CBS reported yesterday the Jets have begun reaching out to potential GM candidates, one of which is reported to be Mike Maccagnan, the Texans' director of college scouting, while also exploring ways to keep Tannenbaum in the organization in a different role.
The report said Jets owner Woody Johnson would like to keep Tannenbaum around as a salary-cap expert and contract negotiator.
Posted Jul 18, 2011
The Houston Texans have promoted Mike Maccagnan to director of college scouting and named Dale Strahm a national college scout, the Texans announced today.
Maccagnan has been with the franchise for 12 years and served as the assistant director of college scouting since June of 2010. In his new role, he will coordinate all of the Texans' college scouting efforts. In addition, he is involved with evaluating NFL teams and prospects in preparation for NFL free agency.
One of the Texans' first hires, Maccagnan initially joined the club as a pro scout in January 2000 before being promoted to coordinator of college scouting in April 2000.
Before arriving in Houston, Maccagnan spent the previous six years as a scout for the Washington Redskins. Prior to his tenure with the Redskins, Maccagnan was the director of scouting and player personnel for the CFL's Ottawa Rough Riders and Saskatchewan Roughriders (1994). He also was the director of player personnel for the World League's London Monarchs when that franchise captured the league championship in 1991. In 1990, Maccagnan worked in the World League office as a league scout.
Strahm has a combined 43 years of experience in coaching and scouting. A veteran of 29 collegiate football seasons in the coaching ranks, Strahm moved into NFL scouting with the Denver Broncos in 1998 after completing his coaching career. He joined the Texans staff in June of 2006.
We'll probably promote someone from within or hire some castoff the likes of Jeff Ireland (if Miami fires him) because no reputable football guy will accept not having final say and being forced to accept Tanny, Bradway (and maybe Rex). No successful (or sane) organization works that way. So I wouldn't get my hopes up on the GM.

Anton J. Chmela
Mr. Anton J. Chmela, a former resident of Garrison, NY, for over 35 years, passed away in his 100th year on February 24, 2004 in Brevard, North Carolina, where he had lived for the past 20 years. Born in Horna Hradcany, Austria-Hungary, on September 13, 1904, he was the seventh of ten children born to Stephan and Maria Chmela and the last surviving sibling. Stephan Chmela (1862-1947) was a miller and operated a water powered grist mill in Dolna Hradcany until 1922 when the family immigrated to America.
Mr. Chmela settled in Merrick, Long Island, with his parents and soon began working for the Bell Telephone Laboratories at 463 West Street in New York City. Working in what was called the "Crystal Room", he was involved with the development and production of quartz crystal oscillators for communications in what was then the beginning of radio broadcasting. Mr. Chmela became an expert at the orientation of quartz using the natural quartz facets as a reference and later progressing to X-ray diffraction. The development of radio telephones during World War I lead to the rapid development of broadcasting after the war. Within a few years, millions of people were listening to factory-made or home-made radio sets. During these early years of broadcasting, the crystal art and the radio art developed side-by-side. In order to improve the quality of radio transmission and eliminate signal interference, AT&T's WEAF radio station became the first crystal-controlled broadcasting station and resolved the bad quality reception problems.
During this time Mr. Chmela also worked on the development of the first crystal controlled clocks to be used as time standards by the United States Government. These were the most accurate clocks in the world just prior to World War II.
Mr. Chmela married Helen Benca on June 15, 1930, and built a home in Yonkers, NY. In the mid-1930s, they moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, where they owned and operated a tourist camp located at 54th Avenue North and 28th Street North.
During World War II, there was a tremendous demand for quartz crystal oscillators for military use by the United States Government. With the experience gained at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Mr. Chmela founded General Quartz Laboratories and manufactured millions of crystal oscillators in support of the war effort. The plant was located in Irvington, NY, in the "Trent Building." In 1944, Mr. Chmela purchased Dick's Castle in Garrison, NY, with the intention of expanding the crystal production. At the end of World War II, General Quartz Laboratories was sold and Dick's Castle became the site of American Quartz Laboratories. An electro-mechanical shop was set-up in the basement of the East wing of the castle. Research and development work relating to the production of crystal oscillators was conducted there until the castle was sold to the Dia Art Foundation in 1979. X-ray machines for use in the crystal industry were also built at the castle. During this time period, Mr. Chmela was associated with several crystal plants located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, including the Hupp Corporation, the Hunt Corporation, and the Piezo Crystal Company.
During the initial drive to save and restore the Boscobel Mansion, Mr. Chmela donated the North wing of the castle as a storage area for architectural details and structural components from the mansion. In the mid-1970s and just prior to selling the castle, Mr. Chmela completed extensive repairs to the castle roof and a restoration of the entire ornamental concrete roof cornice.
Mr. Chmela was predeceased by his wife Helen in 1978 and by his second wife, Ruby, in 1994. He is survived by his daughter Helen Kent of Wappingers Falls, NY, grandchildren Aaron and Alicia Kent, his son Anton S Chmela of Garrison, NY, daughter-in-law Michelle, and grandchildren Amanda and Patrick Chmela. Funeral services were conducted by the Clinton Funeral Home on February 28, 2004 followed by internment in the Cold Spring Cemetery. Hard work, energy, and accomplishment equal a long life.

I am reading through Cicero's De natura deorum, and I have reached a difficult sentence. It is difficult both grammatically and because of its technical vocabulary, which I think represents the Epicurean theory of sensation. It is the second half (after the semicolon) that is giving me the most trouble.
Here it is with my best attempt below. I appreciate any advice anyone is willing to offer.
Inde Anaxagoras, qui acceptit ab Anaximene disciplinam, primus omnium rerum discriptionem et modum mentis infinitae vi ac ratione dissignari et confici voluit; in quo non vidit neque motum sensui iunctum et continentem in infinito ullum esse posse, neque sunsum omnino quo non ipsa natura pulsa sentiret.
Then Anaxagoras, taught by Anaximenes, was the first to consider that the disposition and manner of all things was laid out and constructed by the power and reason of an infinite mind; in this proposition he perceived neither that in something infinite there can be no continual motion joined to sense, nor that [there can be] no sense at all where something does not feel this natural impact.
Grammar questions:
The main verb of the second half is "non vidit" with two object clauses, each introduced by "neque."
1st neque: what exactly is a "motum sensui iunctum et continentem"? I take it that the speaker (Velleius) believes sense perception to be dependent upon a certain type of physical motion. Which brings us to ...
2nd neque: Does this carry over the verb "esse posse" from before, b/c it looks like the "sentiret" is part of the "quo" clause. I parsed "ipsa natura pulsa" as neuter accusatives, but I'm not sure.

Greek election: eurozone faces moment of truth

so i just moved to the bay and am finding myself with a lot of free time in the coming weeks. I am a proficient kiter, just looking for someone to share gas with and have conversation on the long drives.
I live in the city, but went to Sherman today. I'll mostly be going to sherman but i'm down to try waddell, third ave, or wherever else.
My biggest kite is a 12.... kiting in less than 15kts or so isn't fun IMO.. I moved here for real wind. I have a car big enough for at least 3 people worth of kite gear..
PM me or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested

Family Band?!
November 19, 2013, 04:30:08 PM »
I am really over a barrel!
My mom is psyched to have everyone (me, my husband, and my sister) coming home this Thanksgiving, and she's expressing it by planning all kinds of activities for us to do. It started with going to a movie and playing some board games. Now things are starting to get a little further from normal.
A couple days ago, my mom emailed everyone saying how fun it would be if we each brought an instrument and learned a few songs, then recorded a video of ourselves for the extended family. The email included suggestions of what instruments each person might play. Some made sense, like me on the piano (I can handle a simple tune). Others, like my sister on the guitar that she hopes to buy that weekend and hasn't yet learned to play, were a little more out there. But she had enough suggestions that we could potentially make it work.
For the record, I don't think there's anything objectively wrong with this idea. I don't really want to do it because I'm a little camera shy, but I don't mind that much. The problem is that my husband REALLY doesn't want to. She has him pegged to be the vocalist, and though he hasn't said anything to her, he's telling me he won't do it. He's not comfortable with it.
My question is, how do I best handle this? I don't want to tell my mom, "oh, Husband won't do it," because that singles him out. I'm thinking of telling her I won't do it and taking the fall for him, but that might hurt her feelings. I feel like such a bad sport, but I think if he doesn't want to perform on camera, he shouldn't have to. Any suggestions?

If you're mostly comfortable with it - why not suggest that he be the director, conductor or cameraman? It doesn't sound, at first glance, like your mom is intending to make anyone uncomfortable with her idea - just have a good time. Hopefully that means she'd be open to a behind the scenes role for your hubby.

That is correct. If he doesn't want to perform on camera, he gets a pass. If this is family time for you and you all have fun, knock yourselves out having a blast. Personally, my family would never come up with something like this, and if they did, I'd be on the credits as the music director....in other words, I wouldn't want to be caught dead on camera. If your DH is this way, perhaps when the credits roll, he too can be the music director. ...all he has to do is set up the chairs....and stand behind the camera holding the cue cards to the songs.

Can you suggest that it would be fun to have some musical time, but just not record it?

I'd contact the other members of the proposed band and see what the general feeling is. If everyone wants to do it, that's one thing. If everyone is just willing to go along because they don't want to upset your mom, maybe Mom should be told that no one really wants to do the band thing.
Honestly, I wouldn't want to have a holiday weekend that's packed with mandatory "fun" things to do. A few, sure. But it sounds to me as if your mother is starting to go overboard a bit--I mean, your sister doesn't have the guitar yet, but she's supposed to learn how to play it in just a couple of days, to the point where she can play songs on it and be recorded playing it? I'd try steering Mom in a different direction.
And if everyone else does want to do the band thing and your DH doesn't, then I think he gets two choices--be singled out, or participate. I see nothing wrong in being singled out. My family does lots of crazy stuff that I don't do. I sit on the sidelines and run for beer and am an appreciate audience. That's my choice and there's nothing wrong with it.

I wouldn't say anything about him not wanting to do it. He may very well get there and decide to join the fun. As the saying goes, Let the chips fall.

If your DH is anything like my Dad, this suggestion would have him stressed out for the next week in horrible anticipation of what he'll be expected to do. My DH on the other hand would be rehearsing!
I myself can't help but picture this being something embarassing a few years from now (think of awkward family photos website). I'm a bit camera-shy myself and I'd try to encourage some candid photos to send to the out-of-town family, and maybe skype to see each other live.

I too think you should just let the chips fall where they may. People surprise you.
But do have to ask, am I the only one who now has visions of a multi-colored school bus and strains of "C'mon Get Happy" on the brain?

If you're the vocalist you're pretty much the centre of attention so I can see why he'd flinch from that in particular.
I'd just tell your mom straight out that your DH doesn't want to perform for the camera, but is willing to do the filming.
I will say that the activity sounds excruciating, and I participate in musical groups for fun. A bunch of people who have never played together before, including musicians on the level of "planning to buy a guitar but doesn't know how to play it yet" trying to do a couple of songs together? I suspect it's going to break down in atonal chaos, and the video might be entertaining but not from a musical perspective.
Out of curiosity, does your Mom have sheet music for you guys? Because just picking a song isn't going to go very far unless the musicians are pretty good. At a minimum, you need to be able to sound out a tune by ear, (or work out chording for a stringed instrument) and be able to make sure you're all in the same key.

I have played and taught guitar for many years and stringed instruments are very hard to master overnight for even the simplest songs. Maybe if your poor hubby can film and the rest of you bang out a tune like they do on Jimmy Fallon. YouTube it, they play modern songs on kiddie instruments. Very cool and hilarious.

Buying a guitar over the weekend, and learning a song well enough to record it?!
I'd not give this another thought. I mean, unless your family has some mad impromptu musical skillz, this project is probably going to fizzle out and end before it even gets started.
ps. No offence to you! Its entirely possible that you can pull this off... maybe you're the next Von Trapps. But I'm not getting that feeling from what you've written?

Lucas has/had a very talented family. His mother once tried to make a film such as yours, but after some of us balked, the approach became, "We want to have a family talent show for Christmas Eve. Do you want to perform?" It worked a lot better than a command performance. We had a couple of instrumental solos - piano and viola, as I remember, and Great Uncle playing the piano with the little ones singing along for two songs and an aunt chiming in a bit. I think the audience was panned a while we all sang
Away in a Manger
, so we got everyone's picture on film. It was a really cool evening, no one felt pressured, Grandma was happy and only slightly disappointed, and no one was uncomfortable.
Worked for us. It was a long time ago, and now I have no clue where the film is.
Just a suggestion for another approach.

You can also advocate for DH without throwing him under the bus:
"Mom, it's not fair to DH to force this on him. Let's just all do what we're comfortable with."
I learned to play a very simple song on the guitar in only a few very hours (It was church camp: "Father, I Adore You," which is D - A - G chords, which are the easiest, and three simple lines--all identical, because it was a round). But I don't know that I was all that terribly smooth.

How abut pointing out to Mum that it's unrealistic to expect people to do this without it ending up sounding hideous and embarrassing. You can't learn an instrument in a few days - if you were all talented, experienced musicians, fine, you probably could pick up just enough of a new simple instrument to do a basic melody, but if you aren't...no hope.
I'd suggest she buys a bunch of cheap plastic kazoos instead and you all have a laugh messing about with those - anyone can do something with them and it might actually be fun. You may even be able to get a song together to be worth filming so the listeners find it funny and entertaining, instead of excruciating.

I think it would be incredibly rude of anyone to pressure your DH (or anyone else who is reluctant) into taking part in something like this.
My response would depend a little bit on the personalities involved. If this is going to be something your DH is going to worry about, I think in fairness to him, you or he need to say to your Mom,
"It's an interesting suggestion, although I'm not sure recoding it when we are all so inexperienced is a good idea - but it's really not my/DH's thing so while he/we will be happy to watch, he/we won't be performing"
And if she tries to push it, something such as "it's not everyone's idea of fun, and it's not kind to try to force people to do things they don't feel comfortable with."
If your DH is not going to be too stressed between now and then, hen I would be inclined to say something now, but keep it vaguer "I'm not sure that that's going to work, given, our musical abilities, and you may find not everyone wants to join in" and then see how things go on the day. But in that case, be ready to back DH up when he declines to participate on the day.
(I have to say, for me, I would have no problem with a sing-song with my immediate family, if any of them wanted to do that. I would absolutely not, under any circumstances, want it to be recorded and sent to people who were not there. Does your DH have a problem with the signing/playing, or with the recording? Because if it is the recording then it may be worth suggesting to your Mom that you stick to enjoying each other's company, and perhaps making some music together, but stick to taking a family photos to send to extended family .)

With Arsene Wenger admitting that he has a firm interest in Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha; Arsenal fans are no doubt sceptical on their need for another winger.
Wenger stated in a press conference that: "We are looking at him, but at the moment we have not made any bid for him", insinuating that the club are strongly considering making a move for the 20-year-old, who recently made his debut for the national team making a cameo appearance as a substitute, in England's 4-2 friendly loss against Sweden.
Yet the question on the lips of many Arsenal supporters will be: 'Do we really need more wingers, let alone more unproven players?'
The question is a valid one with Arsenal recently signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and negotiating a new contract with Theo Walcott. There is already a surplus of young English wingers at the club.
With Wenger laboriously insisting on buying unproven players without Premier League experience; surely it would be in his best interest to sign a player already able to play football with a top-tier side.
Looking at the signings of Marouane Chamakh, Nicklas Bendtner and Park Chu-Young, who all lacked experience at a 'big team'; is it really a good move to spend piles of money on yet another unproved talent?
The case for buying Zaha seems more unreasonable when you consider the talent coming through Arsenal's academy, with youth players such as Serge Gnabry and Ryo Miyaichi, who are already garnering reputations as future world-class players. The dribbling and movement of these players already seem to exceed that of Zaha, so again why buy what you already have at the club?
I see it as more important to offload the fringe squad players with exuberant contracts like Denilson, Sebastian Squillaci, and Johan Djourou, and spending the money on a signing that can contribute to a top four finish now.

Journal shomon2's Journal: Sustainability Maths
If we take World Energy Use in 2006 as W2006, the amount of energy we can use sustainably(Se) - i.e via renewable energy (RE), traditional energy generation (TEG) and harshly reduced use levels, then
Se = RE + TEG
Renewable energy - hydro electric, wind and solar for example, are usually seen as supplying around 10% of present energy needs. I don't think there's a way to supply 100%, so we have to reduce our consumption by whatever it takes to get to Se.
A way to understand how to do this could be looking to the past and seeing what per capita energy consumption(Epcx) was, multiply this by however many people are living now in comparison(POP2006), and there you have it. I think we're going to get blasted into the past.
Epcx : POP1XXX = Epc : POP2006
W2006 = Epc . POP2006
Or in other words, we're fucked, but how can we stabilise as well as possible, with the least disruption? See individual houses for example. What do we have to give up until taking anything else away would take away our health? What is the minimum a person needs to survive? This is the starting point, the end point being our situation now - in the western world that is, where we're really oil and energy dependent.
I think a big problem will be getting water to people, keeping them sheltered, and growing enough food in a small space to feed everyone. Another problem will be access to healthcare and medicine. Finally, violence and security.
We need close personal ties with people living close to us, so that we help each other, a spirit of getting things done and working together. We need skilled people in older traditional trades such as farming and preservation of food. We need to get what knowledge we can now of what various traditions and cultures have done in hours of need, but also to do simple tasks that we might do at a great expense of energy.
With a few old computers you can manage a barter economy and maintain medical records and census info within a local area of even thousands of people living in very low energy conditions, with engineering you can produce working bicycles from discarded ones, or even better make them even more favourable and able to use geometric properties to be more efficient. We can use junk and rubbish we've thrown away until now as something that we can convert back into energy or simply renovate and re-use. We can use mass transport systems and bio-fuel for sporadic long distance travel, although that will become something for the rich. There may be more of a division between rich and poor, but women are now free of cultural ties they had in the past, and able to work and function in society much more than before.
On the other hand, we've forgotten a lot of old world skills, and most of all, there's no clear sign people are realising the seriousness of this situation.

To the Editor:
Regarding recent anti-gun comments voiced in the Jan. 27 It's Your Write column.
Jan Bosman of Woodstock did not like what our conservative representatives, Jack Franks and Mike Tryon, had to say about guns. And Art Dulan of Crystal Lake said defenders of the Second Amendment should "get a new hobby."
If they want politicians and areas where gun control is in place, they should move to Chicago's Cook County. There is an abundance of cheap real estate in the south and west sides of Chicago, Englewood, Lawndale and Austin, just to name a few. These areas have liberal anti-gun politicians, and Chicago has strict gun control laws. Maybe this would make them happy.

Parents are worried because students on a traditional graduation plan are required to earn 24 course credits during their four-year high school tenure.
LAKELAND | Parents opposed to moving nine county high schools from a seven-period to a six-period day will be speaking their minds at a Polk County School Board meeting Tuesday afternoon in Bartow hoping to convince board members to consider alternatives.
The proposal, according to district officials, would save the district an estimated $7.2 million, some of the money needed for an $18 million budget shortfall to continue teachers' pay raises in the 2013-14 school year.
But at what cost?
Three members of the George Jenkins High Academic Booster Club said Sunday that they feel the change will be detrimental to students and the community. They are gathering the support of parents and local business leaders who feel the same way.
"The School Board is looking at this entirely as a money problem and (that) this is the only place they can get that big chunk of money to make up for some of their $18 million deficit," Booster Club member Terri Presnell said. "But it's more than that."
As an answer to the financial challenges the district is facing, district officials are making a series of cuts. Chief among them is the change in class scheduling. Middle schools would drop from an eight-period day to seven classes, and high schools would change from seven periods to six.
The proposal would require fewer teachers, which could lead to some displacements.
"I don't want to do this but that's where we find ourselves today," interim Superintendent of Schools John Stewart told the School Board last week.
"If you want to know why anything happens, follow the money. The only reason we're here discussing this is we need to find $18 million. Now anyone that has got that in their pocket put it on the table and we'll close this book and go home. Otherwise, you better pay attention to what we're talking about here to find a way out of this tremendous hole that we are in."
On Thursday, Presnell, booster club president Lisa Oliver and member Robin Adams met with about 60 parents from George Jenkins and other schools to share what they've done and what they've learned.
Parents are worried because students on a traditional graduation plan are required to earn 24 course credits during their four-year high school tenure.
"Six times four is twenty-four," Presnell said. "Kids failing classes in ninth grade will be immediately in danger of not graduating. ... At present, Polk County schools have a 68 percent graduation rate and we are concerned that the six-period day will have a detrimental effect on our graduation rates."
Another concern is that these changes won't take place across the board.
"The twist is that not every Polk County school is going to be moved to a six-period day," Oliver said.
Harrison School of the Arts in Lakeland, Lakeland High School, Bartow International Baccalaureate, Haines City International Baccalaureate, Summerlin Academy, Frostproof Middle and High School and Fort Meade Middle and High school will all remain on the seven-period day schedule to preserve their unique programs.
"We understand that they need money but it is unfair to put a specific population at risk so they can salvage some of these unique programs. This can have a really negative effect on the kids who have limited classes," Presnell said. "Why should certain taxpayers have to pay more money to send other kids to schools that are providing a higher quality education than their children are receiving?"
Parents say that district officials also have been talking about changing the start and dismissal times of all schools: Elementary schools would begin between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m. and let out between 2:30 and 2:45 p.m.; high schools would begin at 8:30 a.m. and let out at 3:30 p.m.; and middle school would run from 9:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
"Elementary students waiting for the bus outside when it's still dark and getting home before their older siblings get home … teenagers driving to school during rush hour," Presnell said. "Parents are unaware of this."
Oliver said her booster club and many others from the community will attend Tuesday's School Board meeting at the School District offices in Bartow at 1:30 p.m.
"They are making some serious decisions," Oliver said. "If they vote 'yes' then that's the way it's going to be, but we are hoping they vote 'no' so we can find some other options."
"Until Tuesday, I don't think anyone will know which way it will go."
School Board member Hunt Berryman said Sunday the item is part of the overall budget cuts and that it's scheduled to come up for a vote Tuesday.
"At the board meeting, anyone can register to speak on an item on the agenda, but how much influence that will have, that's always a good question," Berryman said.
"We've been getting a lot of emails so we know how people feel but the truth is we've got a tough budget to balance."
The School District prepared a list of answers to questions about the proposed changes that were asked by participants at a series of community meetings. It can be accessed at http://www.polk-fl.net/news/documents/Community_Forum_Q_A.pdf.

Team name:
The Arcemu Team
Project name:
Brief description:
Arcemu is a FOSS MMORPG server framework, written in C++, that has been in development for almost 3 years ( with all the defunct predecessor projects it has been in development for longer, ever since 2005 ).
Arcemu currently can only function with an older version of a popular commercial MMORPG's client, that was made possible by clean room reverse engineering ( note to moderator: this is legal even in the United States of America ).
Arcemu has an event based AI system, which is programmable using the database. Optionally this is extendable using plugins and Lua scripts.
Target aim:
Arcemu is a FOSS ( Free and Open Source Software )
As Arcemu is a FOSS, the project has no regular income. Nevertheless if the software becomes good enough, we might be able to provide paid support services, or something else that might generate income. In that case of course it will be divided among the team, based on performance/activity.
Arcemu is a cross platform software, it has been tested on the following platforms:
Windows XP SP2
Windows Vista
Windows 7
CentOS 5.5
Ubuntu Server 9.10
Ubuntu Server 10.04
Ubuntu Server 10.10
Debian GNU/Linux 6.0
Debian kFreeBSD 6.0
FreeBSD 8.2
Arcemu was written in the C++ programming language.
Arcemu uses CMake as a build system.
Arcemu uses Subversion as a version control system.
Arcemu depends on and uses OpenSSL, PCRE, and zlib libraries.
Arcemu uses mysql version 5.x as a database backend.
Arcemu has a C++ based plugin system. One of the official plugins acts as a Lua interpreter, providing Lua entity behavior scripting support and more.
Arcemu has a real time collision detection support ( used for visibility calculations )
Talent needed:
Arcemu is in need of developers familiar with the following
The C++ programming language
Multi-threaded programming
CMake build system
The above are REQUIRED for ALL candidates.
We could also use people with expertise with either or all of the following
High performance network programming
Real time collision detection
Path finding
Team structure:
Due to Arcemu's FOSS nature, people come and go, currently we are very low on staff that is why we are recruiting.

Will Muschamp has been running his football camp for more than a week now, but the top prospects aren't expected to really start rolling into town until Saturday.
Before we get into the weekend visitor list I want to give a few notes from this week and get everyone caught up on Gators recruiting.
Linebacker Adonis Thomas was in town on Sunday and didn't leave until Tuesday morning and everything that I've heard is positive and the Gators feel very good with his decision looming on August 1st. Thomas' coach has limited his interviews so chances are Thomas will be virtually quiet until his decision but we will keep a close eye on him and if he decides to visit Gainesville again we will definitely let you know.
Linebacker Roquan Smith was in town on Thursday and while his coach worked the camp, Smith watched from the sidelines and hung out with some Georgia boys like Michael Taylor and Jarrod Davis. The reaction that Smith gave me personally, plus the feedback I have received from others, points towards the Gators being in great shape for Smith. Georgia is a team to keep an eye on here but if Thomas commits to Florida, Smith could follow suit rather quickly.
Offensive lineman Michael Howard was another prospect that just took a quick visit on Thursday and the feedback I received from him was just so-so. He didn't act overjoyed by the visit like most prospects do. Right now Florida has a few guys ahead of him but Howard is someone to monitor.
The bright spot of the week has to be the performance that cornerback Jeremy McDuffie turned in on Monday. I've heard from several different people who have told me that he looked like an elite prospect at camp and that Will Muschamp and Travaris Robinson were smiling ear-to-ear about his performance. Florida sits in good shape for McDuffie moving forward.
Now that you're all caught up, let's take a look at the busy weekend ahead and preview who's expected on campus.
Cornerback Carlton Davis (6-2, 178, Miami, FL Norland)
Florida defensive tackle commit Andrew Ivie (6-3, 285, Dade City, FL Pasco)
Florida receiver commit Derrick Dillon (5-11, 175, Franklinton, LA Pine)
Defensive end Richard McIntosh Jr. (6-4, 235, Fort Lauderdale, FL Cardinal Gibbons)
Defensive tackle Kendrick Norton (6-2, 292, Jacksonville, FL Trinity Christian)
Defensive back Jaquan Johnson (5-10, 172, Miami, FL Killian)
Athlete Tim Irvin (5-9, 190, Palmetto Bay, FL Westminster Christian)
Linebacker Jeffrey Holland (6-1, 225, Jacksonville, FL Trinity Christian)
Offensive lineman William Sweet (6-7, 280, Jacksonville, FL First Coast)
Florida receiver commit Tristan Payton (6-0, 187, Jacksonville, FL First Coast)
Linebacker Darrien McNair (6-2, 219, Ocala, FL Trinity Catholic)
2016 defensive tackle Antwuan Jackson (6-2, 275, Ellenwood, GA Cedar Grove)
2016 defensive end Shavar Manuel (6-2, 262, Tampa, FL Blake)
Funny tidbit: Roquan Smith is a very country guy from Georgia and he has told me several times that Will Muschamp thinks that he's the most country guy he's ever met. Smith thinks that's funny and believe-it-or-not that's something that draws his attention.

I know there's a book thread floating around here somewhere, but it's early and I haven't had enough coffee, and it's very difficult to be patient with a tennis ball getting beaten into my thigh.
I'm reading a couple of sci-fi books at the moment, and a couple of things popped into my head.
Jack McDevitt cannot end a book.
The last 20 pages drift on and on, looking for a point. It eventually gets there, and his books are very readable, but I notice myself struggling to read the last few chapters every time.
David Weber has somewhat different habits.
The beginnings of his books can be tedious, but if you've read his work before, you know you have to read thoroughly, as there's a detail in there somewhere that you'll be looking for later. He also tends to get into Dickensian descriptions of tech/activities that he's familiar with. (I've accused Dickens of taking 4 pages to describe a room when only one small piece of that description is actually important)
Any odd observations on your favorite authors?

Latin Grammy Award Winning - Afro Bop Alliance
The exhilarating Afro Bop Alliance always thrills audiences with their infectious polyrhythmic grooves, harmonic colorings, and improvisational flights. The band's influences come from the musical styles of the many different cultures which come together under the umbrella of Latin and Latin Jazz.

Individual tickets are $20 (adults) and $15 (non-WC College Students / Seniors over age 65). WC students and youth 18 and under are free. Season tickets are available, as well. A reception will be provided during intermission and following the performance.

Other WAMA awards include 2010 Best Latin Ensemble and 2011 Best Big Band Recording-Una Mas. Their music has received critical acclaim worldwide, as the band continues to perform at many clubs, restaurants, private events, concerts, and festivals throughout the mid-Atlantic region.

Harry Appelman
Jazz pianist and educator Harry Appelman has performed on concert stages on five continents. He has been chosen three times to participate in U.S. State Department music tours overseas for the Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad program (formerly the Jazz Ambassadors) – to South and Central America in 2002, to Eastern Europe, Turkey and Cyprus in February 2007 and to South Asia in March 2009.

Harry has toured the United States and Canada with the Woody Herman Orchestra and the Artie Shaw Orchestra.
Luis Hernandez
A native of Miami, Luis Hernandez began his musical career on the saxophone at the age of 14. In 1987, his young talent was recognized as he was admitted into the New World School of the Arts and had the opportunity to perform alongside jazz greats such as Ira Sullivan and Freddie Hubbard. While still in high school, Luis worked steadily in the south Florida area playing in a variety of musical settings. In 1996, Luis joined the U.S. Navy Band "Commodores" as tenor saxophonist and featured soloist. Luis has performed at seven International Saxophone Symposiums playing with James Moody, Dick Oatts, Nick Brignola, Lew Tabackin, Gary Smulyan, Arturo Sandoval and others. He has also worked with Keter Betts, Loston Harris, Leslie Ughams and is a member of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra.
Tim Stanley
Tim Stanley is a native of Belleville, IL. Watching his father play with bands of almost every genre in the St. Louis area were his earliest musical experiences. He began his own studies on trumpet at the age of nine. After graduating from high school in 1993, he attended Eastern Illinois University. At EIU he studied trumpet with Dr. W. Parker Melvin and jazz with acclaimed pianist Henry Butler. In 1997 Tim enlisted in the US Navy as a musician. After accelerated graduation from the Armed Forces School of Music he was assigned to Navy Band Northeast in Newport, RI. While there he performed with the concert and ceremonial bands, and as featured soloist with the Jazz Ensemble and VIP Jazz Combo. In 2001, Tim became a member of The United States Naval Academy Band in Annapolis, MD, performing in the "Next Wave" Jazz Ensemble, the "Commandant's Combo", the Wind Ensemble, and ceremonial bands.

Tom Baldwin

Since winning second place in the Thelonious Monk International Bass Competition, Baldwin has had the opportunity to work with a number of prominent jazz artists, including instrumentalists Eric Alexander, Gene Bertoncini, Stanley Cowell, George Garzone, as well as vocalists Michael Feinstein, Eartha Kitt, Bernadette Peters, and Kenny Rankin.

Victor Provost has shown that he can transcend the expectations of instrument and genre. With appearances at the Umbria Jazz Festival, DC Jazz Festival, The Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Pure Jazz Den Haag, and at major venues throughout North America, the Caribbean, and Europe, he has been meticulously solidifying his reputation as a master of the Steel Pan and crafting an improvisational voice and style to be reckoned with. Provost's ability to extemporaneously weave through chord changes and tonalities with accuracy and conviction, while being thoughtful and creative, often elicits the statement "I didn't know a steel pan could do that". He is one of a handful of pan players in the world who have incorporated a Bebop foundation into their playing, and arguably, the only one who has expounded on that vocabulary with a modern sensibility and style.
Vince Norman
Vince Norman, the son of saxophonist Ray Norman who played with the big bands of Claude Thornhill and Charlie Barnett and with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys in the late forties and early fifties, has been exposed to jazz music all his life. While playing with the Del City High School Jazz Ensemble he was offered his first gig with the Rick Swyden Big Band at age 16 and has been going non-stop ever since. Vince has written numerous pieces for jazz ensemble as well as several orchestral "pops" commissions for a saxophone quartet called the Capitol Quartet that performs concerts with major symphonies worldwide. Vince recently retired from the full time arranging staff for The U.S. Army Field Band and performs extensively in the DC/Baltimore area on saxophone and keyboards.

The Versailles Volunteer Fire Department received a call at 5:23 a.m. Sunday, April 13, to a fire at home of Lili Waller, located at 19460 Inlet Road in Versailles. Firefighters arrived to find the house and the garage fully involved.
The Versailles Volunteer Fire Department received a call at 5:23 a.m. Sunday, April 13, to a fire at home of Lili Waller, located at 19460 Inlet Road in Versailles. Firefighters arrived to find the house and the garage fully involved.
"The house and the garage were already beginning to collapse when we arrived," said VVFD Fire Chief M.B. "Doc" Jones. "There was no one in the house at the time."
Five units responded to the fire with three tankers, and one pumper and brush truck. The firemen left the scene at approximately 7:30 a.m. A house and garage were a total loss. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The fire is suspected to have been started in the middle of the house.
Lili Waller and her four sons; Isaac 14, Dallas 12, Isaiah 9 and Sammie 4 lived in the home. Two grown daughters Lindsey, 23, and Gracie, 20, have their own home.
Thankfully, at the time of the fire, the three older boys were visiting their father for the weekend. Lili and Sammie had spent the evening having dinner with friends. Lili fell asleep listening to music by the Lake, not planning to stay overnight. She answered an early morning phone call from her neighbor screaming, "Where are you? Your house is on fire! Where are the boys?" Lili explained they were with their dad and she was visiting a friend. Her friends, seeing how upset she was took her keys and drove her to the house.
When she arrived she could not get to her house due to all the fire apparatus. "I parked my car and ran through the woods. I got there about 6 a.m., just as the sun was coming up. The morning light was breaking through behind me and the red glow of the fire was in front of me. When I saw that my home, all that was left was smoke and ashes, I couldn't stand. I dropped to my knees crying," Lili said.
"We lost all our pictures, all their childhood things, heirlooms from my mother," Lili said crying. "All my mother's writings, her books and even her oat meal cookie recipe in her handwriting. The boys were mostly upset because their pets, a bearded dragon, a gecko and a guinea pig burned in the fire."
Luckily, two family dogs that were tied up next to the house were found unharmed.
"We lost photographs, videos of kids growing up, homemade quilts, my sewing machine," Lili said listing irreplaceable things that were dear to her.
"I know God will restore. We will rebuild with a clean slate. I am looking at this as a fresh start. I have to keep reminding myself of this and show others that God will turn everything around for my good. This is the ground that God works in best. My heart is full of love for Him and I trust Him. He will restore everything that needs to be restored and everything that has sentimental value he will restore with gentle memories that will turn into sweetness over time. In the end, any other baggage is just gone and not important. It hurts now, especially with the boys not having clothes or toys. Lily plans to let the boys sift through the rubble today.
The family had renters insurance and they have been moving around from house to house. The Salvation Army is putting them in a motel room tonight. She hopes they can find a three or four bedroom home to rent in the Versailles school district in Gravois Mills, Laurie or Sunrise Beach.
Donations may be sent in care of Lili Waller, P.O. Box 1646, Laurie, MO 65038. Call 573-207-0225 for information.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Blizzard Watch will take effect for several western Kentucky counties Tuesday night, along with parts of Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. The National Weather Service in Paducah issued the watch as a low pressure system threatens to bring heavy snow and high winds to the Tristate region Christmas Night through Wednesday morning.
The watch issued Monday afternoon covers Fulton, Hickman, Carlisle, Ballard, McCracken, Livingston, Crittenden, Union, Webster and Henderson counties until Wednesday morning. Kentucky's Mississippi River and Ohio River border counties are expecting 4 inches or more of snow.
Based on the system's current track, some areas in the Tristate could get up to a foot of snow. Where the snow changes over to rain, the forecasted snow totals are much harder to pin down. In addition to heavy snow, wind gusts between 35-45mph are also possible through Wednesday morning. Strong wind gusts will reduce visibility, making it difficult for holiday travelers.
Conditions are expected to be the worst Christmas Evening and then gradually improve overnight through Wednesday morning.
The N.W.S. warns if the Blizzard Watch is upgraded to a warning, travel conditions will become nearly impossible due to blowing snow. Whiteout conditions could create a life threatening situation for anyone attempting to venture outdoors for an extended period of time.
Power outages are also a strong possibility as the storm passes, thanks to heavy wet snow and strong wind gusts.
In central and eastern Kentucky, a light snowfall is expected as the low tracks east Tuesday night. Strong gusty wind and heavy rain are also likely through Christmas Eve and Wednesday morning, with temperatures dipping below freezing Tuesday evening.
You can track current weather conditions in your area online using FirstAlert Defender on WKYT.com.

Badaracco case finds new life
Published 7:35 pm, Wednesday, October 2, 2013
State Police are expected to begin re-interviewing witnesses in the Mary Badaracco case in the wake of the recent sentencing of the man long considered a chief suspect in her disappearance and presumed murder.
Sherrie Passaro, daughter of the 38-year-old Sherman housewife who vanished without a trace 29 years ago, said investigators told her a new round of interviews will take place.
Passaro's information was confirmed by a law enforcement official familiar with the long-running mystery.
The case had been stalled since early in 2012, when a Superior Court judge acting as a one-man grand jury wrapped up the investigation without finding probable cause to charge anyone with her death.
The probe did, however, lead to the arrest and conviction of Badaracco's husband, Dominic, on a charge of attempting to bribe another judge to influence the grand jury.
The 77-year-old former contractor began serving a seven-year prison sentence Sept. 13.
While his attorney is appealing the conviction, authorities apparently are hoping, with Badaracco behind bars, people who may have been reluctant to provide information now may be willing to do so.
"There are no set rules," said John Pudlinski, a retired state police major crime squad detective now working as a private investigator in Litchfield.
"Extended time usually works against you because memories wane," he said, "but there are times when it does benefit police because relationships may deteriorate over time and people may provide you with information that they didn't before."
When the person being investigated is in prison, Pudlinski said, witnesses who previously thought they would be in danger if they talked to police could open up.
Also working in investigators' favor, he said, is, as some people age, they could "feel they are closer to meeting their maker and want to do it with a clear conscience."
Mary Badaracco's disappearance, which was reclassified as a homicide in 1990, remains an active case under the jurisdiction of the department's Major Crime Squad and missing persons unit, said Lt. J. Paul Vance, spokesman for the Connecticut State Police.
"In any type of cold-case investigation, anytime there is a lead, it is always followed up," he said.
But no usable leads have been developed in the nearly 20 months since the grand jury ended, although a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case remains to be claimed, Vance said.
Retired Danbury State's Attorney Walter Flanagan said the chances of developing enough evidence to bring the person responsible for Mary Badaracco's disappearance to trial are slim.
"Before I left as state's attorney eight years ago, they had done a lot of work, and none of it has borne fruit," he said. "Even with the reward and all the publicity, I don't think this (Badaracco's conviction) would move it forward."
Vance said state police hope someone who knows something will eventually decide to talk.
"The family needs and deserves closure," he said.

East Texas Performing Arts in association with Sanctuary Players Theatre Company present the Jones, Hope, Wooten comedy Rex's Exes, the hilarious sequel to The Red Velvet Cake War.
Audiences will be delighted by this fresh comedy published in 2012.The same beloved Verdeen family brings serious comedy and audiences will relish the return of cousins Peaches, Gaynelle, Jimmie Wyvette, with Bitsy Hargis, Cee Cee Windham, Uncle Aubrey, Mama Doll and Aunt La Merle, portrayed by Susan Wise, winner of the Best Supporting Actress/Comedy Itkin Award for the 2012 season.
"I am so proud of this cast," shares director Sara Whitaker. "The writers did a wonderful job in expanding these characters; they have evolved and taken on new traits and conflicts. It has also been encouraging to watch the rehearsal process. The ensemble has grown; they are so comfortable in the creative process. The returning characters have taken on more depth."Audience members who did not see The Red Velvet Cake War are not to worry. The first few scenes of Rex's Exes explain the story of The Red Velvet Cake War and the current circumstances of the play effectively.
"Everything will make sense," states Whitaker. "This play is not to be missed and will be a wonderful and surprising comedic experience."Jones, Hope, Wooten introduce four new characters. They include an Austin political socialite played by Amber Counts, a Cajun bounty hunter played by Jesse Vinton of Marshall, Jeffersonian Shelia Langbartels portraying Gentle Harmony, an emotional "healer," and Rex, played by Paul Davis, Best Actor/Comedy Itkin award winner for his role as the adorable Newt Blaylock in The Red Velvet Cake War."Shelia has done a wonderful job. This is her first role with East Texas Performing Arts and I look forward to audiences seeing her portrayal of this unusually blissful character," said Whitaker.
In Rex's Exes, the cousins discover they have quite a lot more in common than blood. There is a romantic secret that Gaynelle and Jimmie Wyvette have kept from Peaches.
Jimmie Wyvette, played by Marshall resident Cherry Eldridge, Best Actress/Drama Itkin winner for John, His Story, has been fired after 27 years at Whatley's Western Wear and has opened Wide Bride, a bridal salon for "big boned Texas size gals." Jimmie Wyvette is nominated for the Lone Star Business Award of Excellence. Will she be given the chance to shine and receive recognition, or will the scheming Aunt La Merle sabotage the contest with a family secret of her own? Peaches, played by Stacey Davis (co Best Actress Comedy Itkin winner), is racked with guilt for having declared Rex dead after a seven year absence. Her nerves are frazzled and she is on edge while Gaynelle, played by Ellen Taylor (co Best Actress/Comedy Itkin winner) is defeated by a string of two bit part time jobs and a looming milestone birthday. Audiences can look forward to Daniel Jones, Diana Furlow, and Amy Phillips reprising their original roles as Uncle Aubrey Verdeen, Cee Cee Windham and Bitsy Hargis.
