Steal a minute of mindfulness from cooking turkeys and playing Santa
Blub … blub … blub … blub …
That's the rhythm that tells you your Southern Maryland stuffed ham is boiling its way to perfection. So says Celeste Furey of St. Leonard, hostess of an annual pre-Thanksgiving all-day stuffing party.
Blub … … … … blub … … … … blub … … … … blub … … … … is too slow.
Blub, blub, blub, blub is too fast.
Too fast may well be the rhythm that's driving you into the holidays.
There is so much to do this time of year. Bay Weekly is part of the problem because Season's Bounty, Your Essential Guide to the Holidays, puts it all right up there in front of you. So much fun, so few days! On the first Saturday in December alone, at least 75 opportunities divide you like the Sorcerer's Apprentice. I'm juggling six that day with as many pulling at me the next, when what I really want to do is stay home and set up the Christmas tree.
But gosh! Then I'd miss — just for starters — December 2's ALS Artisan Boutique, Calvert County Christmas Parade, Open House at the Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum, tree decorating at Captain Avery Museum, evergreen trimming at American Chestnut Land Trust, the Arundel Vocal Arts Society and the Celtic Christmas and St. Margaret's Advent concerts.
On the home front, I bet you're pulled, just like me, by cleaning, decorating, baking, menu planning, present wrapping, hall decking, caroling, visiting and receiving visits. I've even got ironing antique table linens on my list. (Anybody remember the rules for stiff old-fashioned starching and ironing?)
Not to mention holiday shopping.
That's just the top of the holiday iceberg. Down under are all the feelings we bring to this complex and demanding season. Ask friends and neighbors about holiday plans, and you're sure to come upon the person dealing with the first Thanksgiving since a mother's death. Loss and loneliness are hard holiday company. But we're all receiving them.
Yes, these are busy times.
Which is why I want you to give Bay Weekly a bit of your time.
Will you please slow down long enough to read this week's feature story?
Read A Dozen Neighbors Share Their Blessings, and you'll shift the psychic gear into the holiday spirit.
Here's why.
First, you'll have to listen. When you're moving fast, all you're likely to hear is the sound of the wind rushing past. Blown right past are the qualities supposed to enrich the season: mindfulness, awareness of ourselves in relationship to other people, to our nation's history and to our sources of spiritual renewal.
Harken to your neighbors, as we've done, and their human voices will hearten you. That's why Bay Weekly does stories of this sort, asking a timely question and sharing with you the answers. As journalists, we're supposed to be good listeners; curiosity got most of us into this line of work. Still, stories like this make us renew our powers of thoughtful listening.
Immediately, we're rewarded by meeting you.
Who are you?
We don't approach our survey with scientific precision, but we do try for a broad sample. We worked from zip code maps of Anne Arundel and Calvert counties to balance geography, then to seek diversity in gender, age, occupation, race, ethnicity and religion.
With five or six reporters at work, we do a lot of talking to make sure we're achieving balance and depth.
To get depth, we go into our little interview honestly. You've got to get in a real conversation to persuade people to get past polite clichés and open their hearts.
Most of us are quite willing, even eager, to tell our truths. Over many, many years of reporting, I've become a believer that if I listen, people will talk, honestly and openly. If they're making it up, then I'm lucky enough to come on a good storyteller.
Read A Dozen Neighbors Share Their Blessings, and you'll experience the holiday magic of good human company.
There's still another reason to take a moment out of your busy-ness to read this story, and even better, read it before you sit down to Thanksgiving dinner.
The simple honesty of these stories is sure to inspire you to count your own blessings.
Young mother Julia Bennett will remind you how it feels to have a new baby in your life. Lauren Malecki will remind you of the pleasure of home. Nancy Jo Steetle will remind you of the values of everyday kindness. Joe Brotherton will remind you of the rewards of work. Myung Song will remind you of the indomitable immigrant spirit. Nia Olabesi will remind you that our community is nation- and world-wide. Pete Smith will remind you to keep trying. Rich Nieman will remind you of second chances. Alex Lohman will remind you to hope. David Lowe, Pat Mahoney and Clea Macurdy will remind you that life's sweetness is sharpened by trouble.
You won't want to be left out. Who can hear a good story without matching it? I hope you can't. Because our story isn't complete until you count your own blessings.
Tell me yours — and please share your holiday
traditions — at [email protected].

NEW YORK (Reuters) - One of nine bystanders shot when two New York police officers fatally shot a homicidal suspect outside the Empire State Building last summer has filed a lawsuit charging that the officers - who fired 16 bullets, killing the suspect - were not adequately trained.
The tense August 24 showdown, at the height of morning rush hour on one of Manhattan's busiest streets, was captured on video and shows suspect Jeffrey Johnson stepping from behind a concrete flower pot and pointing his gun at two approaching officers, who swiftly returned fire.
A few minutes earlier, Johnson had shot a former co-worker at close range, killing him. The confrontation with police lasted less than 10 seconds.
"The NYPD is aware of the deficiencies in its training program," said Stephen B. Epstein, one of the attorneys representing shooting victim Chenin Duclos, 32, a physical therapy student who was struck in the leg, shattering her femur.
"The reason they haven't made adjustments to the training is that it would cost a substantial amount of money, and they have a budget," Epstein said. "The reality is, they're better off paying off judgments than changing training."
An NYPD spokesman vigorously defended the department's firearms training program.
"Actually, it's the best-trained police department in the country," chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said on Wednesday, adding that "you won't find anything close to the level of annual training the NYPD goes through" on any other U.S. police force.
Browne said the department's 35,000 officers receive firing range training twice a year, and complete an annual course in urban military warfare and counter-terrorism at a Bronx police training facility where real-time urban crime scenarios are rehearsed.
"Any reasonable person that sees that video sees that the officers had no choice but to fire," Browne said.
The lawsuit contends that the two officers "ran up upon Johnson, pointed at him, called out to him, approached him, and attempted to grab him, causing him to draw his weapon, instead of following at a safe distance, calling for back-up officers, and waiting to confront Johnson at a location away from a crowded street."
Most of the wounded were hit by shrapnel after police bullets struck concrete flower pots placed in front of the city landmark to protect it from car bombers, and splintered, police officials said. Epstein said it remained unclear if Duclos was hit by shrapnel or a bullet.
The NYPD's 2011 Firearms Discharge Report said that last year, 35,000 NYPD officers had 23 million encounters with civilians, and discharged a weapon in 92 incidents. Nineteen of the incidents caused injuries and nine caused a death, according to the report.
A 2008 Rand Corporation study of the NYPD's firearms training program recommended expanding the use of Tasers, sensitizing officers' ears to the sound of gunfire during firearms training, and more frequent overall training.
At least five of the other eight shooting victims have filed notices of claim with the New York City Comptroller's office, a spokeswoman said, the first step toward filing a lawsuit.

SINGAPORE – 7 June 2011 – Creative Technology Ltd today announced the Aurvana In-Ear3 earphones that are powered by dual balanced armature drivers for precise sonic performance and feature an intelligent AuraSeal™ in-ear design that blocks up to 98% of external noise, letting users immerse in studio quality sound anytime, anywhere. The Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 earphones are the first dual balanced armature in-ear earphones to come out of the Creative Aurvana range of audio solutions, and were purposefully designed to make users feel as if they have a pair of micro studio speakers in their ears.
At the heart of these earphones lies the beat of decades of audio heritage from Creative and the unwavering dedication of the team behind Creative's signature Aurvana series of premium headphones and earphones – which has seen the likes of renowned audio products such as the Creative Aurvana In-Ear2 and Creative Aurvana Air earphones, and the Creative Aurvana Live! and Creative Aurvana X-Fi headphones.

The earphones incorporate an angled acoustic tube design with a patent-pending acoustic partition separating the tweeter and woofer audio, preventing premature mixing of the audio and resulting in a harmonious blend of detailed highs and rich mids/lows precisely channelled into the ear canal, delivering unparalleled playback resolution.
Its AuraSeal in-ear design with ergonomically contoured silicone eartips also blocks out up to 98% of external noise, allowing users to accurately audition their music and mixes. In addition, its high purity oxygen-free copper cable significantly reduces unwanted distortion for crystal clear sound reproduction. Crafted with a striking dark chrome finishing, the Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 earphones empower users to experience recordings as faithfully as originally intended, and are ideal for musicians or critical listeners.
The Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 offers users an ultra comfortable and secure fit by an over-the-ear cable loop design which fashions a sturdy and convenient wearing style that anchors the buds in users' ears even during active pursuits. The Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 earphones also come with a compact travel pouch and cable management holder for portable convenience, plus 2 sets of precisely contoured S, M, L sized silicone eartips, 2 sets of foam eartips, a cleaning tool for hygiene maintenance and an airplane adapter for enjoying premium audio during flights.
Key Features of the Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 Earphones

palm oil processing mini millsproduct description
How to get crude palm oil?
Palm oil process line includes sterilizing, threshing, digesting, pressing, clarification, purification
and drying. Then you can get crude palm oil.
Sterilization: Boiling and sterilizing bunches with high temperature( more than 145 C).
Palm fruit bunch are airtight sterilized in sterilizer. The purpose is to prevent enzymes
broken down, avoiding FFA content in oil further increase; easy threshing machinery;
pretreatment peel, prepared for the follow-up processing; pre-conditioning stone, reducing
the damage kernel.
Threshing:Separating fruits from bunches by strong vibration. The purpose of threshing is
to separate oil palm fruit from the fruit bunch through strong vibration, Threshing equipment
is revolving drum thresher. The separated oil palm fruit is ejected then into the pressing section.
Empty fruit bunch be ejected to the yard from the other side of the revolving drum, or shipped out
from the plant as palm orchards slipcover to recycling use, or burning in the locale as fertilizer
for agricultural land.
Digesting:Stiring fruits. Before pressed, oil palm fruit first be carried out cooking, sterilized fruit
must be re-heated to make the pulp soft and damage pulp cell structure.
Pressing: After pressing, oil palm fruit is divided into two parts: oil, water, solid impurities mixture
and the press cake (fiber and nut). Oil, water, solid impurities mixture inflow to oil purification section
by the crude oil gutter; pressed cake into the fiber- recovery section by breaking screw conveyor.
Clarification and purification: Removing oil and sludge (get 90% pure oil), the oil
contains 45%-55% moisture, sludge, and other wastes. Machine-pressed crude oil first diluted
with water washing, the fiber material removed from the oil through settlement and filtration,
and then carry out continuous settlement, the whole divided into two parts: oil
and sediment.
Drying: Through centrifugal separation and vacuum drying, oil is pumped into the storage tank
for storing; oil sediment by filtration and dirt oil separation, oil proceeds second settlement,
dirty oil mixture proceeds clarification separation, skim oil then be carried out a second settlement,
sewage pumps to sewage treatment pond for dealing.

How to get crude palm kernel oil?
Crude palm kernel oil process line includes polishing, crushing and pressing.
Polishing: Separating nuts and fiber by wind drying system. Pressed cake broken by breaking
screw conveyor and then transported into the fiber separation air net and fiber polishing roller
for fiber separating. The separated fiber material is sent to the boiler room as fuel; the separated
stone is transported to stone warehouse by pneumatic conveying system for temporary storage.
Crushing: Crushing nuts to get kernels and shells. The nut is divided into two or more petal
by corrugated crusher, kernel is released. The broken mixture enters into broken mixture
separation system; separation system adopts two stage separation and water separation.
After separation, shell is sent to the warehouse for temporary storage, as boiler room fuel
when necessary.
Pressing: Pressing kernels to get crude palm kernel oil with machine as below. For more information
of this machine, please check: Full automatic pumpkin seed oil press machine
How to get better oil

The factory that makes parts for Apple's iPad and iPhone came in the cross hairs of The Daily Show's Jon Stewart.
The comedian turned newsman took aim at the working conditions at the factory, where reports say employees are forced to work long hours, live in dismal conditions.
There are have also been several suicides at the factory.
After talking about the conditions, Stewart hears Siri's voice come out of nowhere and the two have a conversation.

Lakeland College will spotlight the work of two senior art students when the first of two Lakeland Senior Art Student Portfolio Exhibitions opens on Friday, Jan. 24.
Tyler Holman, of Sheboygan, and Jinsu Ryu, of Tokyo, Japan, will discuss their work during an opening reception beginning at 4:30 p.m. in the Bradley Gallery, located in the Bradley Fine Arts Building on Lakeland's campus.
The exhibit, which will feature works created by these students during their time at Lakeland, will run through Feb. 24. The Bradley Gallery is open from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday, when the college is in session. Attendance at the reception and admittance to the Bradley Gallery are both free and open to the public.
The senior art show is a requirement for all Lakeland art majors. Students gain the experience of having their own exhibit, and are responsible for advertising (creating a poster), mounting the exhibition, speaking at the opening reception and removing all of their work when the exhibit is over. This gives the students a real life experience as a professional artist, which will be very useful after they graduate and continue to exhibit their artwork.
Holman is working towards a bachelor's degree in art with a studio art and graphic art emphasis. He has various art-related work experiences including internships and substitute instructor positions where he has selected and directed student driven designs and instructed his peers.
Holman is also the recipient of several art related awards, a second-place award for his pastel drawing in the Lakeland College Annual Competitive Student Art Exhibition, and a medal in computer illustration from the Eastern Wisconsin Conference Art Show, to name a couple. He is extremely self-driven and has a very unique style.
"There's a structure to the process I use when creating art," Holman said. "It's not painstaking or torturous. That would be silly. Instead, the structure is simple, and makes the event of creation rewarding, desirable and quite addicting. The structure consists of layers that describe who I am, the ideas I have, the field I'm pursuing and the message I wish to convey through art."

Marianna- Marianna High School staff and students were still struggling with the past weekend's death of long-time teacher, John Summers.
Summers taught American history, Latin and had sponsored the yearbook class at Marianna High for the past 30 years. "It's rough on them" Jackson County Superintendent, Steve Benton said. "They all loved John Summers. Marianna High School was his life. That's all he lived for."
The circumstances leading to Summers death have troubled many. A friend found Summers' body in his Decatur Street home Sunday, fully clothed, lying in a bath tub full of water.
The medical examiner's office performed an autopsy, but results had not been released as of Tuesday. Investigators who responded to the scene believed Summers committed suicide.
Reportedly, two letters were discovered on the scene believed to be left by Summers. One note was instructed to be mailed to his mother, and the other to a college student he had been helping in Tallahassee.
His death came as authorities were investigating Summers for supposedly exchanging inappropriate text messages with a student.
"We did an investigation- Department of Families and Children, myself, the principal, and the resource officer- and it was all unfounded" Benton said.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office was also looking into the matter.
"The investigators reviewed that information and determined it was not something that required an immediate 24 hour response" Sheriff Lou Roberts said. "The students that were involved, or victims of the conduct, were 16 and 17 years old children. So, there was not an immediate threat. So our investigation was to commence on today, Tuesday."
Benton last saw Summers on Friday during the school's investigation.
"He was upset, naturally as anybody would be if you were accused of something you didn't do. But, we thought he was fine."
"Whether the allegations prove to be true or false, it still doesn't negate the fact that somebody, who worked there and has been there and dedicated their life to the students, is dead under unusual circumstances" Roberts said.
Benton told us a teacher from Jackson Academy had been transferred to Marianna High to finish out Summers' classes for the school year. He said they were working on hiring a new teacher for next year.
"We can replace a teacher" Benton said, but replace John? That will be hard."


text: K-Rauta, Finland - Constructor Group Workplace Storage Reference K-rauta is a national hardware chain store. The store has been extended and renovated several times. The latest renovation took place during 2007 and Constructor has delivered pallet racking and cantilever racking from the first. Shop fittings and storage systems must meet their storage requirements in shop, storage and other outdoor locations. Nearly 30,000 items are sold; however, only examples of products are displayed on the shop floor, with the balance kept in stock. The most frequently sold items include sauna timber, paints, floorings, plasters, bars and plasterboards. Warehouses and pick-up yards are parts of the shop too. Solution: Heavy loads need heavy racking. The store is fitted out mainly with P90 pallet racking, which is located in the shop, warehouse and pick-up yard. The most important accessories used with pallet racking are tunnel guards, fork entry beams, frame protectors and end mesh. In order to display large items more effectively the shop's side area was fitted out with pallet racking. At the same time the building height was utilised more efficiently, given that items stored at height on the pallet racking would be noticed. Some of the pallet racking is supplied with basket shelves. Mesh shelves and baskets let light go through racking so it looks roomy in the shop. It is easy to set out products in the mesh shelves and prevent them falling out from racking or require separate baskets. Cantilever racking and racking for wood articles are located mainly at outdoor locations. Capacities: P90 pallet racking: - Height 4500 – 5500 mm- Pallet places 1900 pcs Cantilever racking (heavy), hot galvanized: - Height 5000 mm- Arm length 1200 mm- Loading capacity 1200 kg/arm

If you are interested in acquiring any of my art work or photographs, please send me email. We will setup a mailing list to let you know of my upcoming exhibits and any print series' we have prepared.
Updated my Education Background Resumè on my Resumès webpage.
I have started some webpages for stock dividend tracking. The webpage is located at http://www.the-hurds.net/Dividend-Calendars/index.shtml.
Machining - This webpage is all about metal turning and useful links that I have accumulated in researching the antique Atlas metal lathe that I recently acquired.
Furniture Refinishing - After buying several ladderback chairs very inexpensively, because they needed refinishing, I have thrown together this webpage of links, resources and hints.
Woodturning and Wood Lathes - An accumulation of links and information from my research on wood turning. I need to turn a few chair legs, so I am opting to purchase a wood lathe. I currently won one on eBay, but the seller is not shipping it, even though I paid for it within minutes of the end of auction on 21 September, it is now the 30th and it still has not arrived - shipped by USPS Priority Mail.
Potbelly Stoves - An accumulation of links and information from my research on the Sun 50 potbelly stove that I had purchased.
I have added a new webpage for RailFanning, it is Dave Hurd's RailFan Depot. Although it is not setup to be all-inclusive, it does have the online video clips which I have made, along with preview images of the videos at their actual size.
Frequently Accessed Websites which we have found useful, feel free to download and use our favorite links.
HistoryThroughPhotos.com - a source of quality photographic prints of historic scenes.
My Favorite Stock Pics - just a little bunch of pages that I watch during lunch to see what is going on with my investments. November 2009 update - I had a fairly intersting experience with some stocks over the past month; after the stock purchase had settled out, I set some stocks up for selling at a somewhat high sell limit price (25% over my purchase price) and was rather surprised one day, when at lunchtime, I found that they had sold! This has started me on a new strategy - listing stocks for sale as soon as the purchase settlement date passes, unless of course there is a decent dividend upcoming.
Artists-Galleria.com - is back again, after getting it back from a domain name predator.
Covered Bridge News - November 2009, a new set of webpages to help collect interesting covered bridge articles that I find online.

Fenske: Summit Stage April Fools rebuttal
On or about April Fools Day, the Summit County commissioners were convinced to sign a letter that was recently published (Summit Daily, April 3, 2013, "Commissioners: Summit Stage is in good shape"). While there are often different interpretations of a set of facts, I will attempt to present a candid perspective that responds to the information provided in the April Fools letter.
The Summit Stage operates an aging fleet of 26 buses, down from 32 buses that operated last year. The reason for the reduction of forces is that First Vehicle, the private company that was allowed to take over bus maintenance a little over a year ago, argued for a fleet of buses that were supposed to be repaired just-in-time to replace buses that broke-down in the field. The letter falsely suggests, "That means a savings to the Summit Stage budget of nearly $3 million in avoided replacement costs going forward."
I argue that the $3 million expenditure on new buses is not avoided replacement costs. The spending is merely redistributed to First Vehicle by retaining old buses with higher maintenance costs and deferring the purchase of new replacement buses. The newer black buses purchased by the Summit Stage have more than 300,000 miles on the odometers, while many operating and retired buses have nearly 600,000 miles of wear. Already, dispatchers frequently announce that a bus operator must continue driving a defective vehicle because no replacement bus is available. No comparisons should be drawn from the maintenance of other county fleet vehicles and the transit assets, since law enforcement and other agencies operate vehicles with far fewer miles on the odometers. The Summit Stage provides First Vehicle with more than two-thirds of its maintenance revenue dollars from the overall county fleet.
Obviously, fleet maintenance costs should be much lower now that First Vehicle has received the subsidies of newer buses and fewer buses than those previously repaired by county employees. Furthermore, First Vehicle received a subsidy of more than $10 million in public tax funds with the construction of a new maintenance facility.
I leave analysis of the facts to the citizens of Summit County and our elected officials. As a former attorney with a low-income housing project, I have some experience in legal oversight of a poorly compensated, inadequately trained, private quasi-law enforcement unit. That privatized squad was rapidly dissolved by the governing commissioners. From my experiences, I anticipate a profusion of problems with the Summit Stage if privatization is expanded.
When many of our national forest and national park facilities were privatized thirty years ago, corporate special interests picked the ripe cherries of high-volume, high-profit campgrounds and shops surrounding our most cherished public treasures. The gift of the priceless real estate has provided generous profits for private corporations. User fees in the privatized campgrounds often increased four-fold or more. The services provided to the public by more remote, low-volume campgrounds continued to be maintained by public servants or were curtailed. Personally, I avoid the privatized facilities on public lands whenever possible and seek out the most remote, peaceful, least-restrictive locations for recreation.
Admittedly, adequate funding for valuable public services is often difficult to maintain due to economic and political hurdles. Tax increases can seem painful. User fees are costly to collect, discourage full utilization of available services, and fall heavily on hard-working, low-wage workers. Many of the most important social services in transportation, law enforcement, education, environmental protection, and health care are best provided by public servants. The leadership of the concerned public and democratically elected officials is essential to protect the common interests of society.

Singer Uses Stage to Bring Attention to Servicemembers' Sacrifices
By Kristen Noel
Special to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 14, 2009 - A former Marine sergeant turned country-music artist is using his newfound fame to urge Americans to do more to support the men and women returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Having toured with major acts, including Toby Keith and Alabama frontman Randy Owen, and landing three of his own songs on the national country music charts, Stephen Cochran says everything he has planned for the next 10 years involves rising to the highest level of music he can, while working to improve the quality of life for severely wounded veterans and those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I want to bring attention to that great 1 percent ... it takes to stand up and defend a whole country," he said. "One percent of our population does that, so why can't the other 99 percent of it take care of them?"
Cochran's dedication to the livelihood of combat veterans stems from his own personal story of severe injury while serving in Afghanistan.
"Everything that I can do, I believe, I have to go through before I can know what my mission is ? like being injured," said the singer, who was told he'd never walk again in 2004. "I had to be injured to know that our men and women aren't being taken care of properly."
Called to Serve
As the son of a songwriter who grew up in America's "music city" of Nashville, Tenn., Cochran had a country-music career in his sights all his life. He had a bedroom full of instruments as a child ? given to him as presents instead of toys ? and he made his first radio appearance with his father at age 3, singing the Alabama hit "Dixieland Delight."
"I don't think that there's ever been an aspect of my life that hasn't been surrounded by music," he said, "or that I haven't ever known that's what I always wanted to do."
However, shortly into his junior year at Western Kentucky University, everything changed for Cochran. He had just been named captain of Western Kentucky's lacrosse team and was gearing up for the season when the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks happened. That night, while watching the television coverage in his fraternity house, he made the unexpected decision to join the military.
"Everything was normal, and then it was like a snow globe," he recalled. "In one day, ... I didn't feel safe anywhere."
Cochran enlisted in the Marine Corps a week and a half later, walking away from his college education, a promissory record deal, and his then-fiancee, who broke their engagement when he announced his decision.
Enlisting wasn't a choice he had to make, Cochran said. "It was just something that I was called to do and was made to do," he explained. "It was ... just a strong voice inside me that [said] I had to do this."
Patriotism always has been driven home hard in his family, Cochran added. His father, both grandfathers, and an uncle served in the military.
"They joined when they needed to, when our country needed them," he said.
Beating the Odds
Cochran, 19 at the time, reported to boot camp on Feb. 2, 2002, and trained for nine and a half months with the Marine Corps before he was deployed to Kuwait with the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion ? part of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force ? to prepare for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Once the unit crossed the threshold into Iraq, it fought to Tikrit and back, completing 111 missions during a year-long deployment. Enemy contact was frequent, Cochran said, but the unit brought every man home.
"That was something we prided ourselves on," he said. "We brought our whole family home."
Confident after Iraq, the unit immediately volunteered to join the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit for a special operations push in Afghanistan. The unit deployed just four months after returning from Iraq. The decision to redeploy so soon was "something we would all regret later on," Cochran said.
The unit arrived to find a much more hostile environment in Afghanistan, and firefights with the enemy were a daily occurrence. It was no longer a matter of if the unit would get ambushed, Cochran explained, it was when.
"We started losing guys," he said.
The anticipated ambush happened July 14, 2004, eight months into his deployment. Cochran, serving as a reconnaissance scout, was on a routine security mission 20 miles inside Kandahar when his unit's light armored vehicle struck an antitank mine. The explosion threw Cochran off the back of the vehicle 125 feet, breaking five vertebrae in his lower back.
The medics lost his pulse twice during resuscitation, declaring him dead both times.
Cochran has no memory of the incident. When shown photos from the scene, he said, he recognizes himself, but it doesn't feel like he was actually in the picture.
"That's just a real weird feeling that you really don't know how to deal with," he said.
Cochran woke up a month later in the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and was told that he was paralyzed from the waist down and would most likely never walk again.
To make matters worse, the record label he had a promissory deal with dropped him, not wanting to invest in a paraplegic. The woman he had been engaged to cut all ties with him, and the Marine Corps retired him.
"It was a bad week; it was a bad week," Cochran said. "Everything that I'd worked for in my past, present, [and] future was gone in one week."
However, nine months into his recovery at Bethesda, another option arose.
Doctors at Vanderbilt Medical Center in his hometown of Nashville proposed trying a surgery called a kyphoplasty to mend the broken vertebrae in Cochran's spine. Kyphoplasties usually are reserved for older patients suffering from degenerative discs. However it's possible to use the procedure to restore feeling in the lower body for spinal-injury victims.
Cochran traveled to Vanderbilt for the surgery. Four days after an orthopedic surgeon applied almost 4 pounds of cement to fix the crushed vertebrae in his back, Cochran had the first feeling in his legs.
It was a tingling feeling, like feet falling asleep, Cochran recalled. "It was the best feeling in the world, because it was the first thing that I had felt in nine months," he said.
Six months of intense physical therapy had him walking with a walker, and a year and a half later, he was in a recording studio working on his first album with only a brace to support his back.
Adapt and Overcome
Today, Cochran's dream of becoming a professional country-music artist has come full circle. He signed a record deal with Aria Records and released his self-titled debut album in 2007.
"Two and a half years after they told me I'd never walk, I signed a record deal," he said.
Between tour dates, Cochran has been back in the studio, recording and helping to produce his second album, which comes out later this year. The first single from the new album, "Wal-Mart Flowers," will be released for play on country radio stations across the United States this month.
Cochran said he believes the second album really shows how he's grown into being a country artist, compared to the first album, which was recorded and released quickly after his recovery.
"I feel like [the first album] was a Marine that sings country music," he said, "and I feel like now, on the sophomore album, I'm getting to show a country artist that's a Marine."
Cochran's back injury still causes him pain occasionally, but he said it doesn't stop him from doing everything he did before the incident.
Perhaps of greater everyday impact is the loss of the tip of the ring finger on his left hand ? the hand he uses to form chords on the neck of the guitar. For dealing with that obstacle, Cochran lightheartedly cited a Marine Corps saying, "Adapt and overcome." He said it might take him a little longer to learn a new song now, but he'll sit down with the guitar and try playing it different ways until it sounds right.
Changing Up the Attack
Around the same time Cochran signed with Aria Records, a Marine major he had served with called to tell him his options as a retired servicemember. When Cochran informed him that he'd just signed a record deal, his friend immediately changed the subject to his ideas for a group focused on bettering the livelihoods of servicemembers returning from combat, especially those suffering severe injuries and PTSD.
Together, they founded a nonprofit group called the Independence Fund. Their goal, Cochran explained, was to create an organization that covers servicemembers from the time they enlist or are commissioned to "the time that we put you in the ground."
"I'm very proud of where we've taken [the fund]," Cochran said, "from just being two guys' ideas, to now being a full-fledged foundation that's doing a lot of great work."
Last year, the Independence Fund gave away 19 robotic wheelchairs at $30,000 apiece to severely wounded veterans. The wheelchairs use Segway technology to raise users up to a 6-foot, 3 inch height and can climb stairs.
Cochran maintains that these wheelchairs are the equipment he's seen for a paraplegic or quadriplegic.
"I remember one of the worst things when I was in a wheelchair was that I constantly had to look up to everybody," he said. "I went from being this Marine sergeant to the next day that I couldn't look anybody in the eye when I wanted to talk to them."
The Independence Fund recently joined the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, which hosts a variety of programs to help wounded and disabled veterans live the fullest lives possible ? such as reconstructing homes, providing financial aid and building support networks. Cochran sits on the board of this larger organization.
Cochran is focused on finding ways to improve support for servicemembers with PTSD, which he has suffered from himself. "The paranoia [is] the worst," he said. "You think everybody is against you. That's something we need to figure out before the greatest causalities of this war don't come at the hands of our enemy, but the come at the hands of PTSD."
Multiple deployments aren't making the task any easier for today's servicemembers, he noted. "Nothing has ever been asked of our fighting men and women like has been asked of this generation," he said. "It's five, six times they're going overseas."
In addition to his charity work, Cochran has returned to Kuwait to perform for servicemembers preparing for the fight in Iraq ? men and women he said he sometimes feels more at home with than his own family. He also is still in touch with the Marines he served with in Afghanistan who made it back.
"I don't believe that I was done fighting when I was taken out of the war," Cochran said, again employing a Marine Corps principle to make his point. "I just had to 'change up the way that I was attacking,'" he said. The way that I attack now is with going out here and trying to get as many benefits [and] organizations working for the men and women that are coming back home. Then, they know that they have one Marine in the United States that's going to do everything every day that he can do to make sure that ... his or her life is a better quality.
"I think that I can win every award in country music," he continued, "and still one of the greatest things that I've ever accomplished in my life was being handed a new eagle, globe and anchor and being told 'Welcome aboard, United States Marine.'"

Katharina Grosse: In seven days time
Katharina Grosse: In seven days time
Within the past two years Katharina Grosse (*1961) has systematically questioned the medium of painting in regard to its conditions and possibilities and moved it from "canvas into space". Since 1990, Katharina Grosse has thus created one of the most exciting oeuvres in painting known in contemporary art.
IN SEVEN DAYS TIME, a spectacular exterior sculpture which Katharina Grosse created for the Kunstmuseum Bonn, marks the beginning of a new phase in the artist's oeuvre. The artwork, a 7 x 20 m convex "shard" irregular in its form, "leans" against the museum's central exterior wall and thus enters into a differentiated dialog with Axel Schulte's architecture. For more than two years, Katharina Grosse has examined the iconic quality of the museum's architectural draft and created an artwork which picks up the functions and qualities of architecture, panel and sculpture.
IN SEVEN DAYS TIME is not only a visually overwhelming exterior sculpture, but also a central signature for the museum, communicating to the outside its identity as a place for reflecting on the tasks and qualities of painting today.
The acquisition of the artwork was made possible by the generous support of the Kulturstiftung der Länder, the Ministerium für Familie, Kinder, Jugend, Kultur und Sport des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, the Kunststiftung Nordrhein-Westfalen and the August-Kaiser-Stiftung, Bonn. In addition, we would like to thank Galerie nächst St. Stephan / Rosemarie Schwarzwälder, Wien for their professional support.

California prosecutors filed a major lawsuit against several lawyers and call center operators for allegedly running a nationwide scam to dupe desperate homeowners into paying thousands of dollars to join dubious lawsuits against some of the country's largest banks.
The complaint to be unsealed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court accuses prominent foreclosure attorneys Philip Kramer and Mitchell Stein and at least 17 other individuals and businesses of luring borrowers into a scheme that falsely promised a cut of future settlements.
The lawsuit portrays the defendants as the most recent in the chain of mortgage-related scammers who helped fuel the housing bubble and have cashed in on its collapse. The defendants previously worked in the fraud-ridden loan modification industry.
Borrowers were lured into the scheme with claims that courts have found most mortgage lenders to have practiced predatory lending or approved inappropriate loans, and that the homeowners' own banks meet the criteria for having perpetrated such "violations," the complaint says.
"Defendants use deceptive advertising and telemarketing to recruit consumers to join these lawsuits," according to the complaint filed by prosecutors.
California Attorney General Kamala Harris was set to announce the case Thursday, a day after state bar investigators and state Department of Justice agents served defendants with copies of the complaint at nine locations in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

As the saying goes, "two is better than one." Though I'm not sure the adage was meant for weapon-wielding psychopaths.
Kit was the original alleged Bloody Face and for a moment, the opening scene on this week's American Horror Story had viewers believing he would live up to that accusation.
But do we really need another Bloody Face running rampant? Ryan Murphy decided no.
Kit was only serving as a disguise for the real murderer: Alma. With one thrust of the axe Alma managed to kill Grace in the same way Grace murdered her own family.
Can you say karma?
Before the homicide, Kit was enjoying a polygamist lifestyle with Grace, Alma and two children. Throw in Ann B. Davis as his maid and you could say he had the perfect life.
But that lifestyle came to an end when Alma got tired of Grace's talk of embracing their abduction experiences and one day allowing their kids to be visited by aliens.
After seeing the movie "Prometheus" and what aliens can potentially do to humans, I don't blame Alma.
Alma ends up in Briarcliff, where she eventually dies of heart failure and Kit ends up a single father with long sideburns. Not exactly happily ever after, but at least there's hope for Lana Winters, right?
Her book "Maniac" is a bestseller. Check. Thredson is no longer a threat. Check.
Things seem to be going well for Lana, but can she find happiness when she's devoting all her time to book signings?
Lana has become a cash cow, putting fame on a higher pedestal than integrity and honesty. Kit attends a book signing and tells Lana this himself by calling his former fellow inmate "hard."
"I have a perspective on the stinted male psyche that no one else has. I lived it," Lana says.
"You swore to Jude that you were going to be a reporter, not a cheap celebrity," Kit replies.
Kit also tells Lana that Jude's death certificate was a fake and that the former nun still resides at Briarcliff. During their coffee chat, he does neglect to mention that her mind has gone softer than Goldilocks' porridge.
Welcome to wonderland
Lana thinks Jude is dead and if Jude were asked herself, she probably wouldn't know if she were alive either.
The monsignor requests a minute alone with Jude. As he speaks, she says she doesn't hear anything, which is strange because crazy people usually complain of too many voices in their heads.
The monsignor calls Jude childish for ignoring her. "I'm the queen of candy land," she responds.
Timothy Howard pulled out all the stops in his revenge on Jude, including renaming her Betty Drake.
Maybe if he punished people who deserved it (like killer Santa Lee Emerson), he wouldn't have such a bad track record and would never have been found pleading for mercy while hanging from a cross.
The monsignor also tells "Betty" that he's leaving Briarcliff to become the Cardinal of New York and the asylum will be donated to the state.
Did churches not do background checks in the 1960s? The monsignor has allowed countless patients to die under his watch and for this he gets a promotion.
Before he leaves, Timothy Howard promises to end his captivity of Jude: "I'm going to get you out. The cruelty ends here."
"The cruelest thing of all is false hope," Jude responds.
It doesn't take a genius to see through the monsignor. Just ask pinball-headed Pepper.
"You know you can't put stock into his promises Jude," she says.
No one likes a bully
There's some new competition for Jude in Briarcliff in the form of a new patient who looks like the Angel of Death. She wastes no time in offering Jude an ultimatum.
"Most of my victims were living on government checks anyway. You can either rule this roost with me or be just one more cluck. Think it over."
Jude doesn't get that time to think it over because soon after, she watches the new patient stab an inmate for taking his pills against her wishes. Then Jude gets stuck rooming with the vixen.
"Everyone knows there's only one way out of Briarcliff and it's not the front door," she says to Jude. "Everything in this cell belongs to me. That includes you."
Before the two patients can have an epic "Kill Bill" fight scene, Jude ends up blacking out in a dreamlike state. She wakes two-and-a-half years later during a physical spat with another roommate, with the last ounce of her sanity removed.
Jude meets with a doctor, who tells her how much time has passed, reminds her that the monsignor is the Cardinal of New York and informs her of Pepper's death.
And this time, there is no fake death certificate.
Unfortunate son
Bloody Face Jr. visits a store in search of an autographed copy of "Maniac" by Lana Winters. When the book's owner is unwilling to part with it, Bloody Face Jr. delivers a classic spiel.
"You're going to give me that book. Because it's my fate to have it. You see, I have a plan to meet my mother. And when I see her I'm going to greet her with a polite 'Hello Ms. Winters. Do you know who I am?' And she'll shake her head in ignorance. And then I'll present this book of lies. And then I'll say, 'I'm in your book. Except I didn't die.'
"'I'm the piece of trash you threw away 48 years ago. I'm your son.' Once she fully understands who it is standing in front of her, I'll take out my 9mm handgun, point it to her face and pull the trigger. And finally, I would have completed my father's work. But first, I'm going to need that book."
Final thoughts
As if we needed any further proof of Jude's crippled mental state, there's a scene where she's watching TV and thinks the show is about her life. "One of these days, I'm going to fly my ass right out of here!" she screams.
Lana shares her clever Lee Emerson book title with Kit: "Santa and the Seven Nuns." This happens after she tells Kit that the released killer Santa murdered seven nuns after being released from Briarcliff.
What to expect for the finale
Jude will prove she has some sanity left as she dons her nun outfit again, dressed for her last fight against the evil of Briarcliff.
After 40 years of lying about her son's existence, Lana plans to reveal the truth, but Bloody Face Jr. will be an unexpected guest during the confession.
As the saying goes, "two is better than one." Though I'm not sure the adage was meant for weapon-wielding psychopaths.

This is the very same lesson that I submitted earlier yesterday which is going to show you "how to draw a fish for kids", step by step. Drawing fish is a fun activity to do because you can actually draw your own fish tank at the tip of your hands. These aquatic animals are one of the most diversified species on the planet because they come in so many different shapes, sizes, and colors. There are salt water fish, and fresh water fish to choose from when buying or drawing a fish for a pet. I had fun with this lesson because the fish came out so cute and very colorful. You will enjoy learning "how to draw a fish for kids", step by step and when you are done, you can color in the fish to your liking. Go crazy and add a bunch of colors and designs. I will be back in a jiff with more drawing fun. Peace out people!

Just as Shakespeare's 'comedies' have some dark themes and tragic situations while the 'tragedies' have some high comic moments, the Shakespeare's 'history' plays contain comedy, tragedy and everything in between. All Shakespeare's plays are dramas written for the entertainment of the public and Shakeseare's intention in writing them was just that – to entertain. It wasn't Shakespeare, but Shakespearian scholars, who categorised his plays into those areas of tragedy, comedy and history – as well as 'problem' and 'Roman'. Unfortunately, our appreciation of the plays is often affected by our tendency to look at them in that limited way.
Most of the plays have an historical element – the Roman plays, for example, are historical but scholars don't refer to those Roman plays (Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus etc.) as history plays. The plays that we normally mean when we refer to the 'history' plays are the ten plays that cover English history from the twelfth to the sixteenthcenturies, and the 1399-1485 period in particular. Each play is named after, and focuses on, the reigning monarch of the period.
In chronological order of setting, these are King John, Richard II, Henry IV Parts Iand II, Henry V, Henry VI Parts I, II and III, Richard III and Henry VIII, although Shakespeare didn't write them in that order.
The plays dramatise five generations of' Medieval power struggles. For the most part they depict the Hundred Years War with France, from Henry V to Joan of Arc, and the Wars of the Roses, between York and Lancaster.
We should never forget that they are works of imagination, based very loosely on historical figures. Shakespeare was a keen reader of history and was always looking for the dramatic impact of historical characters and events as he read. Today we tend to think of those historical figures in the way Shakespeare presented them. For example, we think of Richard III as an evil man, a kind of psychopath with a deformed body and a grudge against humanity. Historians can do whatever they like to set the record straight but Shakespeare's Richard seems stuck in our culture as the real Richard III. Henry V, nee Prince Hal, is, in our minds, the perfect model of kingship after an education gained by indulgence in a misspent youth, and a perfect human being, but that is only because that's the way Shakespeare chose to present him in the furtherance of the themes he wanted to develop and the dramatic story he wanted to tell. In fact, the popular perception of mediaval history as seen through the rulers of the period is pure Shakespeare. We have given ourselves entirely to Shakespeare's vision. What would Bolingbroke (Henry IV) mean to us today? We would know nothing of him but because of Shakespeare's plays he is an important, memorable and significant historical figure.
The history plays are enormously appealing. Not only do they give insight into the political processes of Mediaval and Renaissance politics but they also offer a glimpse of life from the top to the very bottom of society – the royal court, the nobility, tavern life, brothels, beggars, everything. The greatest English actual and fictional hero, Henry V and the most notorious fictional bounder, Falstaff, are seen in several scenes together. Not only that, but those scenes are among the most entertaining, profound and memorable in the whole of English literature. That's some achievement.
Finally, although adding this at the end of the article and leaving it in the air, several questions are begged: what we see in the plays is not mediaval society at all, but Elizabethan and Jacobean society. Because although Shakespeare was writing 'history', using historical figures and events, what he was really doing was writing about the politics, entertainments and social situations of his own time. A major feature of Shakespeare's appeal to his own generation was recognition, something Shakespeare exploited relentlessly.

Time of Poss.
NEWTON, MA-Bobby Hemmann kicked a 47-yard field goal with 1:39 remaining and host Mount Ida held on for a 24-21 victory over the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's football team in the first game at the Mustangs' brand new Alumni Field Friday night.
Hemmann's kick capped a 12-play, 41 yard drive and broke a 21-21 tie. Following the kick, the Corsairs took the ball at their own 25 yard line and drove to the Mount Ida 40, but senior quarterback Patrick Orlando's (Manchester, MA/Essex HS/Saint Anselm) fourth down pass to freshman running back Brinston Facey (Randolph, MA/Randolph HS) was incomplete, and the Mustangs ran out the clock.
The Corsairs, who led in the first half, 13-0, had rallied to tie the game when Orlando hit junior wide receiver Kiki Louis (Lowell, MA/Lowell HS) with a 28 yard scoring pass with 12:25 remaining, then connected with junior receiver Nico Irano (East Boston, MA/Boston Latin HS) for a two-point conversion that tied the game.
Orlando hit senior wide receiver Brandon McNeish (Springfield, MA/Agawam HS/Bridgton Academy) with 9:42 left in the first quarter to put UMD up, 6-0, Dane Finis blocked the PAT attempt by Corsair senior kicker Edgar Osols (Summit, NJ/Summit HS).
Orlando connected with senior wide receiver Romario Berneche (Everett, MA/Pope John XXIII HS/Mount Ida) from 17 yards out to cap a nine-play, 79 yard drive to make it 13-0 with 6:47 left in the first half.
But Mustang quarterback Scott Drosendahl scored on a two-yard run with 27 seconds left in the first half, then hit Jordan Hyman for a 62-yard score with 5:30 left in the third quarter to make it 14-13. Drosendahl hit Mike Babich w2ith an eight-yard scoring pass on the first play of the fourth quarter to put Mount Ida up, 21-13.
"We did a lot of good things, and there are some things we need to get better at," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Mark Robichaud. "We went up, 13-0, and they scored on us right at the half and hit a long pass in the second half, and we came back and tied the game with a two-point play. They kicked a late field goal, and we came back and threw an incomplete pass on fourth and one. We played very hard, our team never gave up, and I'm proud of their effort."
Orlando had the best game of his career, statistically, completing 31 of 43 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 54 yards on seven carries, McNeish caught 15 passes for 152 yards and a score. Facey rushed 11 ties for 39 yards and caught six passes for 45 yards.
Drosendahl was 15 of 33 for 299 yards for Mount Ida, Hyman caught five passes for 170 yards, and Chris McNally rushed 22 times for 87 yards.

You may be towed, but only if there is proper signage
Q. Does a store have the right to limit who may park in its lot? Isn't this public property? Can I be towed for parking in the lot of one store and shopping somewhere else?
A. First, as a general rule, a parking lot is not public property. Nearly all parking lots – or parking facilities, as the law refers to them – are private property, and the owner of a facility may limit who may park there. In fact, you should assume that parking facilities are built for customers of the owner. Whether you may be towed, however, is a different question.
Although a store or shopping area may limit who can use its parking facility, it must follow state law to have the right to tow violators. Under state law, a parking facility must place the proper signs before it may tow a car. Among other things, the signs must be conspicuously visible to and facing the driver who enters the lot and be located at each entrance to the lot. The signs must also contain the international symbol for towing vehicles, describe who may and who may not park, and contain a current phone number that is answered 24 hours a day to enable the owner to locate the car. If the parking facility has the proper signage, and you park where you shouldn't, you may be towed and will a owe substantial fee to the towing company. The bottom line is that a parking lot owner may limit who is permitted to park in the lot; it may only tow wrongdoers, however, if there are proper signs.
Q. My landlord fined me $25 for allowing my dog to poop in one of the common areas. Can I be fined? I thought only the city or state can impose a fine.
A. You are correct that generally, criminal penalties, or fines, are imposed by a government entity. But your landlord has the right to impose whatever fines or penalties are provided for in your lease. If your lease says you will be fined $25 for allowing your dog to poop in the common areas, you may be fined and owe the money. On the other hand, if your lease is silent and says nothing about penalties for such conduct, you landlord has no right to impose a fine.
Q. I am the sole shareholder and president of a small corporation. I was told my business cannot appear in court or file a lawsuit without an attorney. My business is being sued for a small amount of money in small claims court. Do I have to hire an attorney to represent the business?
A. In most cases, a corporation may file a lawsuit or appear in court only through an attorney. The corporation is considered a legal entity, and if someone besides an attorney tried to represent the corporation, they would be acting as its attorney without a license. In small claims court, however, any authorized agent such as the president may represent a corporation. The law recognizes that many claims in small claims court do not require the assistance of an attorney, and allows a corporate officer to represent the company.
Q. Is it true that someone who doesn't pay his child support may lose his driver's license?
A. Yes, it is true. Under the law, a court has the right to suspend any professional license, including a driver's license, of a person who doesn't pay child support as ordered. In fact, a court may even throw the person in jail.
Q. How much notice is an employee entitled to before he or she is fired? I showed up for work this morning and was told the end of the week would be my last day. I thought I was entitled to two week's notice. This doesn't seem fair.
A. As a legal matter, you are not entitled to any prior notice. Unless you have an employment contract or union agreement that says otherwise, you may be fired with no prior notice. Your employer might not have treated you fairly, but from a legal standpoint, it had the right to do what it did.
