Oilers re-sign Reddox and Potulny
Jason Gregor
July 29 2009 02:40PM
The Oilers have re-signed Liam Reddox and Ryan Potulny.
When Reddox refused his offer sheet, it was surprising that that even got out, since Ladislav Smid and Gilbert Brule didn't accept their original offer sheet either.
These are depth signings and I'd bet both will be more involved in helping the Falcons than they will plying their trade with the Oilers.
Reddox will probably be the 14th forward on the team when camp breaks. He has shown he can be a reliable forward in a limited role, and despite his size he actually competes harder on the puck than most of the Oiler forwards who are bigger than him.
But if the Oilers have to ice a lineup that has Pouliot, Pisani and Reddox in the same game then they are in trouble because they all have similar traits, although Pisani is the best of the bunch.
As for Potulny he seems destined for the Falcons, and he is a good signing for Falcons fans, but Oiler fans shouldn't be to giddy about this signing. I don't see how he ever becomes a regular on this team. Still you need depth on the farm if you want the kids to at least be competitive in the AHL.
While Reddox gives the Oilers depth, I don't see his re-signing making them a better team. He doesn't address what Pat Quinn said he wanted from his bottom six forwards: size and hard to play against. While Reddox at least competes for the puck, he won't ever have defencemen thinking about blowing snow if he is on the forecheck.
Depth signings for the Oilers, is what these two are, but the problem is they are small forwards. Do the Oilers really need more depth in that department? I say no.

Is he implying here that Reddox held out for more AHL money? That would make sense since it is unlikely that he will stick out of camp.
That's what I said a few weeks ago...but that doesn't seem to makes sense since he only will make $55,000 in the minors. The only guys making less than $55,000 in the AHL next year for the Oilers are Paukovich, McDonald, Wild, Pitton and Trukhno. Seems like Reddox didn't get any sort of really bump in salary.

Reddox has p!ssed me off ever since I saw an interview with him where he stated that he liked to eat alone on the road and go to bed early. I like my NHL'ers to light it up on the road and go to bed late. The guy is a major league Dork!
I like my NHLers to go AWOL in South Central Los Angeles

The Lady Spartans of Emery High finished the first half of region 8 basketball undefeated and in good position to win the region championship this season. Last week, Emery first defeated a feisty Carbon Dino team in Price by a score of 53-39 and then Emery hosted the North Sanpete Hawks and sent the Hawks home with a 78-40 drubbing. It was a good week for the Lady Spartans.
More important than the wins last week were the way they came about. After having struggled early in this season to find their identity, the Lady Spartans are finally a team. I think the Spartans have finally figured out that this season�s team is as good or better than last season�s team. Good things await.
Senior Meagan Pearson and junior Jodi Robertson paced the team in scoring last week and team with junior Frankie Komar to make the Spartans a potent 3-point shooting team. Meagan had 22 points against Carbon and 13 points against North Sanpete while Jodi had 17 points in each game.
Carbon took the early lead and led after the first quarter 17-13 as the Spartans had too many turnovers in that first period. In the second period, Emery scored the first 5 points and took their first lead of the game on a Pearson 3-pointer. Carbon was very aggressive on defense in the opening half and seemed to keep Emery off balance just a bit. Emery outscored Carbon in the quarter and the two teams went into halftime tied at 27 each.
After Jodi paced the team with 6 points in the first period, Meagan paced the team with 8 points in the second period.
Emery had a good second half defensively at they limited Carbon to only 6 points in each of the final two periods while scoring 13 points in each of the two periods. In the third quarter, Jodi scored another 5 points and Meagan had another 6 points.
Carbon scored the first four points of the quarter to grab a 31-27 lead but the Spartans scored the next 8 points to up 35-31. The crowd erupted at the end of the third quarter on an almost half court shot the Pearson let go and the shot that banked off the glass and went through for a basket. The shot was very reminiscent of a like shot that her coach let fly 19 years ago to win a state championship. It was almost from the same spot on the floor.
In the fourth quarter, Emery only led 44-39 with 1:34 to go when Pearson scored a basket. Carbon would not score again but Emery scored all but one time they had the ball after this. Komar hit a pair of free throws with 1:07 left. Michonne Robertson had a steal and Pearson was fouled going to the basket. Her shot was good and so was her free throw. Michonne hit a pair of free throws with :22 left and Jodi scored the last two points with :08 left after a Pearson steal.
Michonne scored 8 points, Frankie scored 3 points, ShiAnne Allred scored 2 points and Abbie Kay scored a point. Abbie pulled down 7 rebounds and Michonne had 9 rebounds.
It was a much more relaxed game against North Sanpete. The Hawks scored the first 4 points against an Emery team that had not got over their previous win yet but the Spartans responded with the next 19 points to ease the fear of an upset. Meagan had 7 points in the quarter and Meagan, Frankie and Jodi each hit a 3-pointer as the Spartans led 21-7.
The second quarter saw more of the same as Emery won the period 19-7 to lead at the half 40-14. Coach Gordon went to his bench early and often as most team members got the opportunity to play in this game.
Meagan Pearson was honored at halftime as one of the ten finalists in the state of Utah for the Wendy�s Heisman award that goes to a scholar athlete.
Twelve Spartans scored in this game, as the second half appeared to be one that Emery wanted to get over.
Besides Jodi and Meagan, Lacey Montgomery also finished in double figures with 11 points. Abbie and Jenni Stinson each scored 7 points, Michonne scored 6 points, ShiAnne and Jessica Murray each scored 4 points, Frankie had 3 points and Sierra Bridgewater, Tiffany Tuttle and Chelsea Christensen each scored 2 points.
Emery is now down to five games left this season. This week they face Juan Diego in Draper Thursday night.

By JEFFREY O. DURRANT
Over 7,000 individuals and organizations felt strongly enough about the San Rafael Swell to provide written comments during the public comment period on motorized recreation travel plan alternatives.
Several graduate students worked with me on an independent project to read, organize, and analyze these comments. It was an interesting and enlightening experience that could fill several columns, but here I'd like to focus on one small aspect that captured my interest.
In scouring the comments I was particularly interested in the experiences that people shared. My belief is that opinions and perceptions (in this case for or against limiting motorized access) emanate from, or are rooted in, personal experiences. And in the 1,283 unique comments (over 6,000 comments were identical faxes of two different letters), people shared numerous experiences.
In pondering these experiences I couldn't help but notice that many pro-vehicle access comments centered on family experiences, while comments seeking to limit vehicle access and expressing pro-wilderness views centered more on individual or solitary experiences.
This led me to wonder why pro-motorized opinions were much more likely to be attached to experiences with families, and conversely, why views that stress limiting vehicle access and promote wilderness designation often relate to personal rather than family experiences in the backcountry?
What does this pattern mean? Is it that families are more important to off-highway vehicle enthusiasts, while those seeking to limit motorized access are selfish, anti-family loners? Or is it that families care less for the environment and are thus more callously destructive?
While these and other quick assumptions are easy to make, especially in the current polarized atmosphere that surrounds public land use in Utah, I think these connections would be largely in error-a conclusion I came to after considering my own experiences.
I have three young children, and we often spend time in the San Rafael Swell and on other public land-it's among our favorite activities. I am also an avid kayaker, hiker, canyoneer, and solitude seeker. These two sides of my life are difficult to mesh together. Or in other words I can't usually pursue both at the same time and in the same place.
When we head out as a family, the internal combustion engine is a major player. Though my boys like to hike, the hikes aren't lengthy-in fact we often don't lose sight of the car. So in addition to our short foot forays we drive around in our four-wheel drive and explore rugged vehicle routes.
We also have a motorcycle, and the boys love to jump on back and go for a ride. With three active youngsters the engine is often a valuable entertainer for exhausted parents. As a young boy I spent considerable time riding motorcycles in American Fork Canyon with my father.
However, on other occasions I leave the kids behind due to the nature of what I want to experience. Along with three other guys I kayaked the upper Black Box the last time there was enough water in the San Rafael River. This technical run was exhilarating, challenging, and at times frightening. In the end a broken paddle below submarine falls (aptly named due to the likelihood of a kayaker disappearing under the foaming white water for a several seconds) led to the group free-climbing out of the canyon near the waterfall (or rock fall to those who visit in drier times).
A year later my brother and I rappelled in at the same spot and hiked the canyon-an experience that required a few swims despite the relatively low water.
Obviously I could never have pursued these activities with a passel of small children in tow.
This past summer while living in East Africa I was faced with a dilemma, I had enough time and resources to do one of two activities. I could either take a week to climb to the 19,340 foot summit of Mount Kilimanjaro alone, or I could take the kids and spend five days on safari in the Ngorongoro Crater and on the Serengeti Plains. I chose the safari, and we had five wonderful days of up close wildlife viewing from our car. In fact we spent nearly every waking moment in the car-both out of obedience to the rules and a desire not to lose a kid to a hungry hyena.
A year earlier I was fortunate enough to be in central Borneo with a colleague that was agreeable to a "research" trip into the new and rather remote Bentung Kerihun National Park. After driving a car for two days from Pontianak to Putusibau we left the car and most signs of humanity behind and carefully loaded our gear and bodies into a tipsy long boat (essentially a carved out wooden canoe) captained by an old Ibadan guide.
The upper reaches of the Kapuas river were swollen from rain, and darkness hit long before we were at our desired location. As we continued in near total darkness my focus shifted from trying to keep my gear dry to positioning myself so that nothing would ensnare me if the boat flipped over and I was forced to swim to the distant and almost indiscernible shore.
We did make it to our destination that night, and the next day we went further up the tributaries and even walked along the shore as the long boat fought its way past rapids. Later we hiked through thick jungle on steep hillsides, pausing here and there to pull opportunistic leeches from bloodied legs. While deep in the jungle I even cracked a couples of ribs but refused to let it dampen my fun until I was back in a Putusibau hotel where I could properly moan.
So why relate all these experiences? What do they have to do with public comments on the motorized recreation in the San Rafael Swell?
Well, for me public lands offer a bundle of experiences, and we should do our best to preserve them all�and not necessarily for two distinct groups. Sometimes those who take the family out for a motorized weekend are the same folks who also head out alone in search of places that vehicles don't go-I know of many others like me.
Looking over the completed travel plan I see numerous places where I can drive with the kids or even go for a motorcycle ride alone, as well as a number of places where I can get away from it all and use the danger and difficulty as an excuse to leave the kids behind. I'm pretty sure that in a dozen or so years the tables will be turned, and my boys will be leaving dad behind as they seek their own adventures.
Vigorous public involvement will help make the breadth of individual experiences available as a tool in land use planning. Hopefully this will lead to the preservation of opportunities that I have been fortunate enough to experience, both on my own and with my family.

careful when ordering online and using coupons
"these shoes run small and narrow, I ordered them twice (size 8medium and size 8.5medium) and still didn't fit. I used a coupon and when returned them, I didn't receive the full refund because coupons don't have money value. If you don't try them in the store and want to use coupons online, don't risk it. You'll end up loosing money and time."

Seems to me that the aged puerh experience is enhanced by the ability to take slightly larger sips/gulps than you would an oolong. I always enjoy them in a larger cup with a wider orientation. Just thought I'd put that out there after seeing the wonderful tea bowl you were drinking yours from!

Posted on 12/02/2010 7:56:33 AM PST by ConjunctionJunction
Press coverage of the new Pentagon Don't Ask Don't Tell report suggests that large majorities of U.S. servicemen and women wouldn't mind the repeal of the military's current policy on gays. Don't believe it. What the report actually shows is that the military is deeply divided over the policy, both between the service branches and especially between those who have served in combat and those who haven't. Did you know that 59 percent of Marines who have served in combat say repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell would have a negative effect? And that 45 percent of Army respondents who have been in combat say the same thing? That is significant, not marginal, opposition.
Overall, the survey of 115,000 servicemen and women presents a mixed-to-positive reaction to the proposed repeal of the current policy. Seventeen percent of all service members say repeal would have a positive effect, while 21 percent say it would have a negative effect, 33 percent say it would have equally positive and negative effects, and 29 percent say it would have no effect.
But the picture is considerably different when you compare the opinions of service members who have and haven't been in combat. For example, the Pentagon study group asked the following question of respondents "who have never been deployed or haven't been in combat environment since September 11, 2001":
If Don't Ask, Don't tell is repealed and you are working with a service member in your immediate unit who has said he or she is gay or lesbian, how, if at all, would it affect your immediate unit's effectiveness at completing its mission on a day-to-day basis?
The answers are a mixed bag but suggest that there would be support for repeal of the current policy. Seventeen percent of all service members say repeal would have a positive effect, while 21 percent say it would have a negative effect; 33 percent say it would have equally positive and negative effects, and 29 percent say it would have no effect.
Then the Pentagon team asked service members "who have been deployed at some point and been in combat environment since September 11, 2001":
If Don't Ask, Don't tell is repealed and you are working with a service member in your immediate unit who has said he or she is gay or lesbian, how, if at all, would it affect your immediate unit's effectiveness at completing its mission in a field environment or out to sea?
The differences are striking. Just 11 percent say repeal would have a positive effect, while 44 percent say it would have a negative effect. Twenty six percent of those surveyed say it would have equally positive and negative effects, and 19 percent say it would have no effect.
Break down the numbers by service branch, and the results are even more striking. Fifty-nine percent of Marines who have been in combat say repeal would have a negative effect, and just 11 percent say it would have no effect. Forty-five percent of Army respondents say it would have a negative effect. The opposition is less intense in the Navy and Air Force, where 35 percent and 41 percent say repeal would have a negative effect, but those are still significant minorities.
And these are large groups. According to the study, 70 percent of respondents are now or have been deployed, and 83 percent of them have been in a combat zone or an area where they received hostile fire pay. There is simply no way to argue that they overwhelmingly support repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.
But repeal is what the president and many lawmakers want. And civilian control of the military is a bedrock principle of the U.S. government. If the president and Congress order service members to do something, then that's what they are going to do. But don't pretend they all think it's a good idea.
Gay journalists don't tell of their proclivities and they are among those pushing this issue in the news.
Gates was bought and paid for by the Soros/obambi campaign
Queers are a SECURITY RISK !!! Look at what ONE queer pfc. has done with our secret info. Kick 'em all out!!! No "gay" military!
This is based on a 10% response. The combat troops are sharing a computer with a company and have little time to take surveys. They send their e-mails to their families and let the next guy in line get on.
What I still do not understand to this day is - what gives these turkeys the notion that the rest of the world wants or needs to know how and with whom they have sex? Who gives a "rat's behind"? (Pun intended? I'm not sure.)
We all know what this is about...and it's not about "diversity" or "equality" or any other politically correct buzzword they come up with. It's another way to lessen the strength, morale and character of our military. I hate barack obama. "Commander in chief", my a$$.
I don't have good facts on this, so just offering what I read somewhere else (do not remember where), but it was said that this survey, which gives such "wonderful" results was done after the CA court case that theoretically invalidated DADT, at which time the troops were led to believe that repeal was a certainty. Even if there is any validity to the survey results, I have to believe that the responses would be different if DADT seemed to be solidly in place into the future, as opposed to having the appearance of being repealed.
But we are dealing with an administration and Gates, who will tweak and twist the numbers in whatever way serves their needs, so it does not matter, I guess.
Put all the queers in the same unit and send them to the area where the fighting is the fiercest. Rapeat until no one is standing.
I'm most interested in the military's policy (currently) regarding those infected with HIV who are deployed- does it change? Will the soldiers deployed with the HIV virus, but not sick, be required to inform other soldiers deployed with them?
Soldiers living in the, necessarily, tight situation of the barracks, sharing a "head"- will they be allowed to know the HIV status of those who engage in aberant behaviors? How about those seving on ships? submarines?
WHAT are the rights of soldiers and sailors who are NOT gay? How about their families?
"DADT" was a stupid idea...a very "clinton" idea. But THIS one is a whole lot dumber. When one chooses a twisted lifestyle, then they should also accept the consequences.
They are achieving success with the military. Mark this: the traditional and evangelical churches are next.
You have not heard of Doug Dannger then, his tag line is "I'm a gay man and a gay journalist".
I guess that's technically true. I mean 17 percent is, well, 17 percent.
Of course, it would be technically true to say there would be opposition to repeal of the current policy because 22 percent is, well, 22 percent.
Of course understanding that 22 percent is greater than 17 percent would probably require a course in advanced magazine writing.
The opposition is less intense in the Navy and Air Force, where 35 percent and 41 percent say repeal would have a negative effect, but those are still significant minorities. But what is the percent saying it would have a positive effect?
Does Anderson Cooper know?
I can say this, when (and I do think it is when, not if) homosexuals are allowed to serve openly in the military, military service will NOT be a career I will urge my sons or daughters to pursue.
There are millions more like me too, as the lion's share of military personnel come from the most socially conservative parts of the country (read, "the South.")
When the military gets dominated by sexual perverts, who will defend us?
I don't know about other branches, but the Army will not deploy a soldier who is HIV positive. Simply being HIV positive is not a reason (by itself) for discharge, either IIRC. So we have soldiers who won't be deployed while other soldiers deploy over and over.
The disease risks alone—given that ALL research shows the inescapable massive promiscuity of homosexual males—should disqualify homosexuals from service.
Not to mention the fact that ONLY after physical threats and intimidation did the American Psychological Association remove homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses.
Active homosexuals are both sexually perverted and mentally ill, not to mention immoral, and besides this pose a direct health threat to any and all around them in combat situations.
Military folks and their civil service counterparts have been subjected to such incredible amounts of politically correct required classes/briefings/command direction/etc. they know, absolutely know, what answer they are supposed to provide.
I am pleasantly surprised at how many answered honestly and in the negative. No straight male or female wants a gay superviser/superior in the military with the power they will have over their lives. They already know how difficult it is with both sexes working together already. For the most part, they make it work, but still "stuff" happens.
The stuff that still happens usually gets covered up, but once in awhile it makes it to the mainstream press. For a taste of the future might look like with DADT repealed look here for a USN example and for a USAF example and imagine how these two examples could read. It won't be pretty.
What a loaded poll question. First of all it asks about the effect of "a" homosexual rather than multiple homosexuals. Then it asks about a generic effectiveness.
How about asking:
If Don't Ask, Don't tell is repealed and your commanding officer is an open/active homosexual, will it affect your ability to serve in the military and obtain fair promotions if you refuse to engage in homosexual activities?
If Don't Ask, Don't tell is repealed and your unit has a dozen or so open/active homosexuals, will that affect the close interaction that is required for ALL members of a unit (such as a submarine)?
If Don't Ask, Don't tell is repealed, will you willingly join/transfer to/recruit to a group with more homosexuals than another?
If Don't Ask, Don't tell is repealed, do you believe that greater emphasis will be placed on social issues or military ability?
Will the soldiers deployed with the HIV virus, but not sick, be required to inform other soldiers deployed with them?
Soldiers living in the, necessarily, tight situation of the barracks, sharing a head- will they be allowed to know the HIV status of those who engage in aberant behaviors? How about those seving on ships? submarines?
That would be "no" on both counts:
The real issue with DADT is whether the discussion is about status or behavior. A soldier just being gay is not problematic, but if he knows he can't be discharged for it, will that lead to wearing makeup in uniform, applying it in the latrine, sex in the barracks, sex in showers and overtly effeminate behavior? Admittedly, most homosexuals don't or won't engage in the overt objectionable behavior (many don't at all) but it will only take a few. Watch the gay pride parades and consider how that "in your face" behavior will be received in a barracks setting. Flaunting the most disgusting behavior seems to be the trademark of some (not all) gays.
How many homosexuals are going to demand promotion in rank to increase their representation? When are they going to establish a GBLT social group on base? etc.
The lawsuits will only begin from the act up crowd if this goes through.
How about
"If you are willing to shower and bunk with a member of the same sex who is homosexual, are you (A)FOR or (B) AGAINST showering and bunking with members of the opposite sex, who may or may not be homosexual"
Not to mention the drain on military healthcare system and all the other issues that go along with bunking in close quarters.
Opening the floodgates of litigation for every hurt feeling or insult (real or imagined), or discriimination, (real or imagined), will destroy morale and cohesiveness in the military. The left is assaulting every traditional institution, from religion to marriage to the military, not with the intention of change, but I believe to destroy them.
Wasn't there a poll last year by the military times that said something to the effect that 70%+ of enlisted men said it would impact their decisions to reenlist?
There were gays serving on my ship when I was in the Navy, and when they were "outed" for one reason or another, things didn't go well for them. They were normally "removed" from the ship very quickly (for their own safety I assumed). I'm not saying it was right how they were treated, but it was reality.
I can only comment on what I know about from my experience. Living quarters/showers are cramped, even on big ships, and life on a ship is stressful. After getting off work, it was nice to be able to hang out and play cards or listen to music and not have to worry about being "scoped out" or whatever.
I tend to think of having gays openly serving as being about equal to having men/women living in the same living quarters. While there may be good intentions all around if men and women were berthed together, there WOULD be added stress, to the men, and the women. It's simple biology.
Why subject our soldiers/airmen/sailors to more stress than they already have? The military shouldn't be a social experiment. How long before two men have sex in a berthing area? How would you feel if two guys had sex in your HOME and you were unable to leave? There are so many reasons not to repeal DADT, and I can't think of one good reason to do it.
I also have a real problem with politicians/media who always ask officers about it. They won't be the ones who have to deal with it in their day to day working environment, at least not to the extent of the enlisted personel. Living conditions were cramped as a sailor, I can only imagine what life is like for an enlisted soldier in combat.
I will be saddened for our armed forces if DADT is repealed. I don't consider myself a homophobe, but if others think I am, I won't care, at all. I just feel from my experience that we don't need to do this. It will make the military less than it is now, in many ways.
rant over...
What the report actually shows is.

What did those of you who attended Mike Moore's workshop in Oakdale, CA, on the Dec 8 - 9 weekend have to report? How'd it go?
As a newbie to HT/FT, I attended Michael's workshop and I have to say it was awesome! We have only been training since August, but Michael and Lynn made us feel totally welcome and ran marks for my dog that he would be successful in. We had a few issues that Michael helped with and gave lots of great advice. I am thrilled to have gone and met all the great people there. We ran 15 marks in 2 days, someone said one mark was 140 yds, which I know is nothing for you FT's but HUGE for my dude. There were triples and blinds and flyers...lots of fun! It definitely was more of a cerebral workshop.
You are right - cerebral is a good description! I went without a dog and learned a TON as well. Many that ran dogs were FT's, and the rest fairly experience HT's, including people who judge in both venues.
Michael's workshop and many like this serve as a BIG reminder of where all successes and failures in the running of the dog begins on the mat, at the line. Many of us were saying: "I knew/know that", but also became MORE AWARE that we were not maintaining a very high standard for our dog's, from exiting the vehicle, to the send to retrieve.
In many HT, mats are used mostly to help with traction in muddy conditions, since judges 'generally' don't want that clearly defined of an area of the line. In training and at a FT, Michael showed us how a mat (2'X3') can be used as a 'positioning' guide for lining the dogs and in creeping issues. I mean, which weed or pebble was it that the dog started at?
If it's not so obvious to dog or handler, it gets ignored by both.
Michael was being very picky about what you need to do at the line to help your dog and then told you what you did or didn't do to make your dog go where you (in most cases) did not want it to. It was all presented in a light hearted way.
Michael was very animated in his presentation, even getting on hands and knees to mimic what the dogs were doing, usually because of (how shall I say) too much or too little influence on the part of the handler. And at times he did a little "handler dance" exaggeration of the the handler moves that are too much influence or unnecessary.
He set up marks and blinds to challenge the handler, to make them think. And it definitely made THE DOGS think. The line was moved up or adjusted if the set-up was beyond the dog's experience.
It was a great weekend!

Im New to the sport and found it to be quite informative. I am Learning alot of things in training but was glad to see somethings i am doing wrong and work on those things. My dog Micah is a derby dog and he was given some some difficult marks with one very close flyer which he has not had much experience on and he remained steady.
Had to be on the road 20 hours to attend but it was well worth the drive. I have no doubt that I will be a better handler and a better team player after attending Michael seminar. I could spend hours writing down all that I learned but if you people reading this really want to know, you will just have to attend Michaels next seminar or wait until the DVD comes out. Thanks again Michael and Lynn, I had a great time.
Well we all know Michael Moore has the knowledge and ability to win a field trial, but does he have the knowledge and ability to teach? The answer would be yes he does! Mr. Moore did a wonderful job communicating the importance of winnning and that six foot circle around you the dog and the mat. The setups were technical enough to get the desired results, and as described above Mr. Moore was very clear and animated in his teaching techniques. I believe he is naming his next pup "Fido"! We also learned a new "line" dance that he attempted to call the "Kevorkian". The handlers and observers had great comments and questions. Lynn and her workers did a wonderful job putting it all together and making the fog go away on Sunday! I would have to say this is one of the most informative influential seminars I have attended to date. If you get an opportunity to attend, do not hesitate. It will be well worth your while no matter what level you are currently participating. Great job Michael and Lynn!!

I really enjoyed Michael Moore's handler seminar this past weekend. There was great discussion, practice, critiques and more follow-up discussion. Michael focused on "game day" preparation for the handler and the dog. He reviewed mental preparation including maintaining a positive attitude uner pressure, visualization, and test strtegy as well as the importance of effective body language and verbal communication with you dog on the mat/line. He uses and 80/20 rule when handling: 80% body language and 20% verbal communication. Through anecdotal stories and practical real time examples from participants, Michael illustrated/demonstrated how to be more effective and efficient in handling a dog. Participating handlers worked on coming to the line and lining up for both marks and blinds. I got a lot of take away tips for working more successfully with my dog. The seminar was conducted in a relaxed manner with plenty of humor. Belly laughs were had by all. Also, kudos to Lynn Moore, the set-up crew and the Gunners for a great job of keeping things moving.

Maybe this is a silly question, but hey, I'm new to all of this weight loss stuff.
I read on a weight loss blog a few weeks ago that if your belly is cold while you work out, it means you're burning your belly fat. True?
It makes sense: your body is using that fat as fuel, to keep your blood pumping quickly. With energy being taken away from the fatty areas, those fatty areas would get cold, right? And I've always noticed my stomach feels cold to the touch during an intense exercise.
So, does anyone know if this is true? Like I said, it makes sense, and I like the idea of simply feeling my stomach to make sure I'm working out hard enough.
And yes, I've tried googling this – but I have yet to hear if this is true from an "official" source!

The Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition held their 13th Annual Community Awareness Program in October. Sixteen year old Karsyn Robb of Park City was the featured guest for the event. Robb entertained the program attendees with her music, including her single "You Told Me", and also talked about how she became aware of domestic violence and how it inspired her to write the song. Robb learned about domestic violence from one of her teachers who provided her class with the stories of three individuals that were involved in abusive relationships. In one of the stories a teenage girl became involved with a guy whom in the beginning she believed was "the perfect guy". As their relationship progressed, the young man became mentally abusive and very jealous, eventually being able to control the girl enough that she had isolated herself from her friends and family. The girl was finally able to gain enough courage to break off the relationship, but unfortunately, by this time the young man was so attached to the girl and the relationship that he killed the girl. Karsyn said " I believe if more people understand what domestic violence is it gives us a better chance of being able to stop it."
In 2010, she was awarded First Place in the Utah Health Department Media/Song contest with, "You Told Me," a song about domestic violence. All proceeds from the single are donated to the Peace House, a local women's shelter in Park City. About the song she says "This song was written to bring strength to all the people who are experiencing domestic violence. I hope it gives them the courage to get out of an abusive relationship and know that they are not alone."
The Community Awareness Program was free of charge and included lunch as well as having a chance to win door prizes. The door prizes included Karsyn Robb CDs as well as Avon products donated by JanaLee Luke.
To end this year's Community Awareness campaign the Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition has asked that we publish the below personal relationship assessment.
Is Your Relationship Abusive?
Compare it to the "symptoms" of abuse below and check off any that match.
Has your partner used any kind of negative physical contact - or the threat of it against you?
Are you afraid to say no to sex?
Does he or she threaten to kill him- or herself if you break up?
Are you afraid of what he or she could do if he or she got angry?
Do you avoid friends and family because he or she gets jealous or doesn't like them?
Does he or she constantly call, email or text you to find out what you are doing?
Are you afraid to disagree or not do what he or she says?
Do you need his or her permission to do anything?
Do you make excuses for him or her like "He didn't mean it" or "I deserved it"?
Does he or she expect you to drop everything and meet his or her needs?
Does he or she blame you for everything that goes wrong?
Does he or she make you feel bad about your weight, body, or intelligence?
Does he or she accuse you of flirting or cheating when you are not?
Does he or she go through your text messages, or emails to see who you are talking to?
Keep in mind that abuse will usually get worse over time, not better. Most reported abuse is committed by men against women. But it can be committed by women and can also occur in same-sex relationships.
Why do they stay? They may: think it's normal for people to treat each other that way;
be scared to leave;
believe or hope their partner will change;
be afraid of being alone;
not have the resources or financial ability to leave.
Why do they abuse?
They may: not know how to handle anger or jealousy;
believe violence can give them power and control;
think it's their role to control the other person;
have been abused or seen abuse in their family;
use alcohol or drugs that worsen violence.
Violence has no part in a healthy relationship.
Nobody deserves to be abused.
None of these reasons are good reasons to stay in an abusive situation or to abuse someone.

Traders are on the hunt for exchange-traded bubbles to pop after last week's experience with a Credit Suisse (CS) leveraged volatility ETN. They're likely afraid of (or trying to seek out) a sequel to last week's ETN price crash, when the bank drained one product of its sizable premium by re-opening creation of new shares.
There's nothing quite like that case currently on the horizon. But that hasn't stopped traders recently from selling off a Barclays (BCS) natural gas ETN that has a similarly rich artificial premium. The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Natural Gas Total Return Sub-Index ETN (GAZ) has plummeted 31% since last Wednesday. Even after that decline, there is a yawning gap of 54% between the $3.59 where this ETN currently trades and the $2.33 that its indicative value suggests it's really worth.
The difference here is that, unlike the VelocityShares Daily 2x VIX Short- Term ETN (TVIX), creation units of GAZ have been shut off for years — since August 2009, according to the Wall Street Journal. The low supply and apparently high demand for exchange-traded natural gas exposure — go figure, with the commodity being in such tough straits — has made this product trade much like a closed-end fund. But there's been no suggestion that Barclays is about to open the floodgates with new creation units.
Instead, the decline instead appears to be the work of traders getting a little squeamish with all the attention to oddball ETNs this week, or investors who discovered exactly what they own and didn't like what they found.
As TF Market Advisors' Peter Tchir put it to Bloomberg in today's coverage:
"Everyone's late on the first trade but are starting to look for what else is out there that could be dangerous," said Peter Tchir, founder of TF Market Advisors in New York. "It would make sense that over the weekend people were running numbers and we're looking at all ETNs and ETFs trading over a premium and are recommending selling those now."

Please note that the GPA Recalculation Option must mirror BCTC's Senate Rules regarding Academic Bankruptcy Option. This means that students who have earned an Associate's or Bachelor's degree from any college or university are not eligible for the GPA Recalculation Option.
To file a GPA Recalculation Request, please print off the form below and submit with your complete application packet.
The Office of Admissions will review your request when your packet is processed and after the Fall semester grades have posted. You can check the outcome of your request by logging into your Selective Admission account. The recalculated GPA would be used in ranking applicants to selective programs, but would not be used to determine a student's BCTC or cumulative GPA for any other purpose. (This policy is in effect for the 2016-2017 application year only. Policies on GPA recalculation may change in the future.)
Students applying to the Practical Nursing (LPN) Leestown or Danville program do not submit a GPA Recalculation Request. For any questions, please contact the Program Coordinator.

All staff members of the Office of Financial Aid at California State University, Long Beach adhere to The California State University Student Lending – Code of Conduct, which restricts activity that may lead to conflicts of interest in the area of student lending.
CSU Long Beach participates in two types of federal student loan programs: the Federal Direct Loan program (which consists of Stafford and PLUS Loans), and the Federal Perkins Loan program.Education loans are a form of financial aid that must be repaid with interest. As the most prevalent type of financial assistance, many students (and parents), turn to some form of loan aid as a way of closing the gap between educational expenses and available resources.
We highly recommend that you file a (FAFSA), - regardless of income - as most students / families are eligible for some form of federal education loan assistance. To be eligible to receive funding from the federal loan programs, you must meet the general eligibility requirements for the Federal Financial Aid programs.
The Federal Perkins Loan is a low-interest (5%) fixed-rate loan offered to students who demonstrate exceptional financial need. Students must be enrolled at least half-time at Census to be eligible for disbursement of funds.
All Perkins loans at CSU Long Beach are managed by CSULB Student Financial Services and Educational Computer Systems, Inc (ECSI). Students awarded a Perkins Loan must complete and submit a Perkins Master Promissory Note; ECSI will email those students awarded a Perkins Loan with instructions on how to complete the required steps.
For further information on the Federal Perkins Loan, refer to Federal Student Aid's Perkins Loan information page, as well as the CSULB Student Financial Services website.
The Federal Direct Stafford Loan is a low-interest loan available to college students who are enrolled at least half-time in an eligible program. Interest rates are adjusted by Congress annually, with a new rate taking effect each July 1st. Although the interest rate for new loans may change each July 1, the rate received will be fixed for the life of the loan. Current as well as previous Direct Loan interest rates are available on Federal Student Aid's Stafford Loan Interest Rate page .
In addition to the interest rate, Direct Loans charges an origination fee on all Stafford loans, which is deducted from your loan funds at the time of disbursement. For the current origination fee, refer to Federal Student Aid's Stafford Loan Fee page.
The Stafford Loan does not require credit approval; eligibility is determined by filing the FAFSA. The loan(s) you receive will either be Subsidized, Unsubsidized, or a combination of both.
There are limits on the amount in subsidized and unsubsidized loans that you may be eligible to receive each academic year (annual loan limits) and the total amounts you may borrow for undergraduate and graduate study (aggregate loan limits). For details on loan limits, please refer to Federal Student Aid's Stafford Loan Information page .
Eligible Students:
For the Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan you must have financial need – as determined by your FAFSA application. The federal government will pay the interest until you enter your grace period - the time you are no longer enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Repayment on the principal amount of the loan begins six months after you cease to be enrolled at least half-time (including leaves of absence).
NOTE: Effective July 1, 2013, eligibility for the interest subsidy has a 150% time limitation for "new borrowers" of Subsidized Stafford Loans. A "new borrower" is defined as:
A student who is eligible for a Subsidized Loan will reach his/her subsidized limit at 150% of a program's length of study. Due to the potential impact reaching the 150% limit may have on any outstanding Subsidized Loans, students are encouraged to complete undergraduate study on a timely basis.For more details, review the information on Federal Student Aid's Subsidized & Unsubsidized Loan information page, as well as their Time Limitation on Direct Subsidized Loan information sheet.
Eligible Students:
The Federal Direct PLUS Loan is a government-insured, credit-based loan made to either the parent of a dependent undergraduate student OR to a graduate/doctoral student. The PLUS Loan is not based on income or financial need; approval is based on the credit-worthiness of the borrower. In the event of a credit-denial, Federal Student Aid's PLUS Loan Information page details the options available for obtaining a PLUS Loan. The amount requested can be up to the student's cost of attendance – less any other financial aid (grants, scholarships, student loans).
The interest rate for the PLUS Loan is adjusted by Congress annually, with a new rate taking effect each July 1st. Although the interest rate for new loans may change each July 1, the rate received will be fixed for the life of the loan. The current Direct PLUS Loan interest rate is available on Federal Student Aid's PLUS Loan Information page.
In addition to the interest rate, Direct Loans charges an origination fee on the PLUS loan which is deducted from your loan funds at the time of disbursement. For the current origination fee, refer to Federal Student Aid's PLUS Loan Information page.
The PLUS Loan enters repayment once the loan has been fully disbursed, which is typically after the Spring Semester disbursement. Various options are available to postpone payment; refer to Federal Student Aid's Direct PLUS Loan Information page for additional details.
To apply for a PLUS Loan at CSU Long Beach, the student must complete a FAFSA and the appropriate PLUS Loan Request Form must be submitted to CSULB's Office of Financial Aid.
The Federal Parent PLUS Loan is available to parents (including adoptive or stepparents) of dependent undergraduate students. In addition to the parent borrower passing a basic credit check, the student must meet the general eligibility requirements for federal student aid. Any amount borrowed in excess of university charges through the Parent PLUS Loan will be issued as a refund to the parent.
The Federal Graduate PLUS Loan is only available to graduate students (master's and doctoral students). The Graduate PLUS loan is meant to supplement the funding from the Stafford Loan program, and should only be requested if you have exhausted your Stafford Loan eligibility for the year – and still have remaining expenses/room in your Cost of Attendance budget.

Artist Statement:
My paintings are a product of summer boredom. After I hung some in my apartment, several people asked if the paintings were for sale. Then I realized my hobby could pay off. Now I sell them for twenty dollars apiece. The influences came from quality rap artists. It might sound unusual but some rap music is refreshingly poetic, which is why I had the urge to paint these artists. My favorite time selling a painting was to a random person who saw "Cool Flowers" hanging in my bathroom. He said it was for his girlfriend. Even though my passion is to paint and create, the major I chose is public relations. For me, work and art do not go together. I like to experience art with no boundaries or specifications.

Sloane Stephens, 19, earned a half million bucks last night, topped 35,000 Twitter followers and will likely break the top 10 in the Women's Tennis Association. Her parents are Sybil Smith, a hall of fame swimmer at Boston University, and the late John Stephens, a former New England Patriots running back, who died in 2009.
Last night, Sloane Stephens made history at the Australian Open. She became the youngest American player to ever beat Serena Williams 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 in a quarterfinal match that ended at midnight, and I watched every minute.
She's famous now, and this kid has some personality. The Wall Street Journal reported on her Twitter followers that include NBA star Shaquille O'Neal who told her, "When you defeat a legend, you become a legend. Keep it going." The kid is in The Wall Street Journal.
She started a hide-and-seek game off the court — hiding a tennis ball with her name on it and tweeting clues on the grounds at the Australian Open.
ESPNW quoted her in a story:"This morning when I got up, I was like, 'Look, dude, like, you can do this. Like, go out and play and do your best,'" Stevens said.
Williams, 31, has battled back from innumerable injuries during her stellar career. They include a blood clot, foot surgeries, countless sprains and back problems. Yet, every time she takes the court, she is impressive. Don't ever count her out.
But Sloane Stephens is the new wave of tennis and a youngster to watch — especially since we're all getting sick of hearing about lip syncing, Lance Armstrong and virtual girlfriends.
The games continue in Melbourne, and Sloane Stephens plays again later today — visit the official site for details.
Pam Parker is the editor of Lake Erie LifeStyle, Her Times and House to Home at the Erie Times-News in Erie, Pa. She is the mom of three, stepmom to three, grandmom to one and an avid tennis player for nearly 40 years.

The Utah Shakepearean Festival's educational troupe was in Green River recently for workshops and a performance of Macbeth. During the afternoon, the actors hosted workshops for the residents to attend and learn many stage techniques. The Green River Community Center sponsored the event, along with Green River High School.
The actors who compose the troupe are from across the United States and have all auditioned to become part of the Utah Shakespearean educational troupe. They travel around the six state area performing Shakespeare's Macbeth in schools, civic centers, and community centers. The troupe performs six-seven times a week for three months. Each of the actors have been to acting school and college, and all hold a degree.
Their performance of Macbeth in the Green River High School auditorium was a shortened version of the original play, and lasted a little more than an hour. The performance was followed by a question and answer session in which the audience could ask the cast questions.
Company manager Susie Pierce opened the evening with thanks to the community center and the high school students who assisted them during the day with the workshops and setting up the performance. "The cast of this performance of Macbeth are all professional actors and have auditioned for these roles. Robert Tobin and Barbara Suiter are from Los Angeles, Calif., Brian Edgecomb is from West Palm Beach, Fla., Trey Teufel is from New York City, Allison Batty is from Chicago, Ill., Lee Turner is from Alabama, Kate Galvin is from Vermont, and Alem Brhan who plays Macbeth in tonight's performance is from Boston, Mass.," said Pierce.
Each of the actors played multiple roles for the play, with the exception of Brhan in the role of Macbeth.
The setting for the play is Scotland during the times of great battles for power, and fates being foretold by witches. Macbeth is drawn into a plot to kill the king and become king himself. His ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth, drives him to commit a series of murders, thus enabling her to become queen.
Green River residents were treated to an evening of Shakepeare's version of the tragic results of greed and ambition.

Well, so far, my reality as a mother has been anything but typical.
Recently, though, I've wondered.... Could it be? Instead of running Chloe from doctor's appointment to therapy and holding her every second of the day.... Could it be that I could one day be running her from activity to activity and watch from the sidelines?
A few people have recently made me believe that might be the case.
I've mentioned before that Chloe dances in my dreams. Well I got an email recently from a fellow special needs mom letting me know that Dance Image Studios near my home is going to be starting a dance class just for kiddos like Chloe!....
I've heard it called dance therapy and adaptive dance. Call it whatever you want, I think Chloe will just love it! And did I mention it's free? That's right, they're not charging for the weekly class that will have one-on-one instructors for each of the students.
It starts in August and I will be counting down the days!
If the kids on Glee can do it, then so can Chloe!....
I also met some amazing soccer coaches recently. They told me about a special AYSO program called VIP. You can find out all about it HERE.
Chloe can't start until she's 4, but that's next year! When I was talking to the coaches about it, Chloe was with us in her wheelchair. They were explaining that someone would push her and she would be able to kick the ball herself. Just listening to us talking about it, Chloe started kicking and kicking. I'm pretty sure she'll be the star player! AND how cute will she look in the uniform!!!.....
I'm learning more and more that dreams really can come true! Chloe will dance. I'll be a soccer mom. Anything is possible!

Undergraduate Student Employment
Graduate students seeking employment may be eligible for Graduate Assistantships or regular student employment.
What is work-study?
A college work study award is money that you earn while doing part-time work on or off campus. You will receive these funds from your employer bi-weekly in the form of a paycheck.
Application Process
College work study is a need-based award. Priority consideration is given to undergraduate students who filed their FAFSA's (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by late January each year.
If you have been awarded work study it is your responsibility to find employment and begin earning by the end of September or your work study funds may be cancelled. For assistance in finding employment please visit Career Services in 200 McKenny Hall.
College work study works differently than most financial aid as it will be paid to you in the form of a paycheck every two weeks, rather than directly to your student account. It is up to you to apply your earnings to your student account if necessary.
How much will I receive?
The work study award listed on your Financial Aid Award Letter represents the maximum amount you may earn through the work study program over the course of the academic year
How do I receive my College Work-Study award?
A college work study award is money that you earn while doing part-time work on or off campus. You will receive these funds from your employer bi-weekly in the form of a paycheck.
Is College Work Study taxable?
Yes. Any money you receive as a result of work is considered taxable income. You will be asked to file a withholding form (W-4), and you will receive a statement of income and taxes withheld form (W-2) each calendar year.
Graduate Student Federal Work Study Details
- Graduate students can be nominated to receive Graduate Work Study (GWS) by participating academic departments. GWS awards are not offered automatically as a part of a student's financial aid package.
- A GWS position typically takes the form of an assistantship offered by the student's academic department.
- A graduate student must file a FAFSA, be enrolled in a degree seeking program of study, and have enough unmet need to accommodate the GWS award.
Full-Time Summer Work Study
Full-time work study provides employment opportunities for students who will not be enrolled during the summer semester. The funds earned help meet the educational expenses for the following fall and winter semesters. Students may work a maximum of 29 hours per week, but total earnings cannot exceed the summer work study award. The hourly pay rate is determined by the employer.
To be eligible for full-time work study, you:
- Cannot be enrolled in classes during the summer semester. If a student is awarded full-time work study and enrolls for summer, earnings will be transferred to the employer's budget.
- Must have filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and have submitted all required documentation to the Office of Financial Aid.
- Must plan to enroll at EMU at least half-time in the following award year.
- Must demonstrate need as determined by the FAFSA.
- A portion of the net earnings may be used as a resource in the determination in the following award year.
How do I find a job?
Students may utilize the University Advising and Career Development Center web site to review job postings, job fair and workshop information. The site includes postings for work study and regular (do not require that the student has been awarded work study) jobs.

Casimir 'Casey' Firlit, M.D., Ph.D., 1939-2012
Dr. Firlit was an adjunct professor at SLU School of Medicine, and director of Reconstructive Urology, Neuro-Urology and Fetal Urology at SSM Cardinal Glennon since 2003. He dedicated his life to helping children with complex problems become healthy and happy.
|Casimir Firlit, M.D., Ph.D., Dr. was an adjunct professor
at SLU School of Medicine.
"Dr. Firlit was a wonderful physician, teacher and mentor to many clinicians throughout the years," said Sherlyn Hailstone, president of SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. "His kindness, compassion and ability to relate to the children he served were legendary. He left an impression on SSM Cardinal Glennon that can never be replaced."
Dr. Firlit received his M.D. and Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Loyola University of Chicago. He completed his clinical fellowship in Pediatric Urology at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. He was board-certified in Urology and was featured as one of the Best Doctors in St. Louis from 2005 through the present year.
He served as chief of Pediatric Urology at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago from 1979 to 2002 and professor of Urology for Northwestern University in Chicago for two decades before relocating to St. Louis to lead the Division of Pediatric Urology at SSM Cardinal Glennon. During his time in Chicago, Dr. Firlit was the youngest urologist to be promoted to full professor of Urology at Northwestern University.
Throughout his career, Dr. Firlit inspired many residents to follow in his footsteps and pursue a career in pediatric urology. He was directly involved in mentoring dozens of young pediatric urologists. He was a natural teacher who took great pleasure in creating innovative techniques to benefit his patients.
"Dr. Firlit had a passion for helping develop other surgeons," said Dr. Dennis Vane, surgeon-in-chief at SSM Cardinal Glennon and chair of Pediatric Surgery at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. "He took his responsibility of cultivating the next generation of doctors very seriously. He was a thorough physician with a great love for his patients, and he was committed to instilling those same virtues in the doctors he trained."
His love of children and helping improve their lives influenced Dr. Firlit every day. In a 2011 profile with St. Louis Magazine, Dr. Firlit eloquently put his passion into words: "I found that kids, in spite of the travesty, they have the resilience to go through this and come out very positive. It's what just lit my fire."
Dr. Firlit is survived by wife Barbara, son Matthew and daughters Michelle and Rebecca. Services will be held in the Chicago area. A local memorial service will be planned for a later date.

Zoom Big Salty Chunk 5pk
The Zoom Big Salty Chunks will add bulk and movement to your jig just like a pork chunk. Plastic chunk trailers for jigs have been an easy, inexpensive and effective substitute for pork trailers for years. The tough plastic of the Zoom Big Salty Chunks stay on the hook well and the great Zoom colors will match most popular jig colors. Try different colors on your jig for new appearances and contrasts. Adding a Big Salty Chunk to a spinnerbait will add bulk and enable you to slow down the retrieve speed. No matter how you use these baits, make sure you have a good selection for changing weather and water conditions.
9 Colors
More From Zoom Trailers
Customer Reviews
Comments: The Zoom Big Salty Chunk is still one of the greatest standbys in the trailer-chunk world! Wide and bulky, displacing water with a very slow, deliberate action that attracts strikes. Lethargic fish will become aggressive toward this bait and attack. Sometimes, especially in the winter and after a cold front, to much movement is unnatural, and stifles a response. Give this classic style a try, then you will know why the Zoom Big Salty Chunk is so reliable!
From: William: Thomaston, GA 1/28/15
Comments: Probably my favorite trailer. Would like a few more per pack as the appendages don't hold up great. But it really helps slow the fall rate and adds a good amount of weight to your jig. I typically am not looking for a lot of added action when I am pitching jigs. I just want a slow, non gliding fall. I typically switch to a tube (for gliding) or creature if I think they are looking for a more active bait.
Comments: Got a pack of these and they give the jig a little action but not much I like there speed craw more
From: Dylan: CA
Comments: Simple but effective. Sometimes they aren't looking for all that flapping.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Happy New Year to Amy's Place!
Happy New Year ...everybody!
Thank you, Amy, for our lovely January thread.
Thank you, Meg. Wishing you a Blessed 2012!
*hugs* God bless everyone!
Happy New Year Lonestar!
God Bless America and grant us a wonderful 2012.
Thank You, Dear Lord, for Your Bountiful Blessings!
Happy New Year to y'all!
Thank you so much for hosting this thread. So many of us appreciate it!
There is a delightful thread on page one of the Latest Articles, that has President Reagan telling Russian Jokes.
It's a hoot.
I hope people check it out. It's likely to get missed since it was posted so late tonight.
Here is the YouTube link
Time to hit the hay!
So pretty, Meg. Thank you.
I'm a bit early but here's wishing a Happy New Year to Amy's Place.
Pleasant dreams, TCP. See you next year.
Thank you!
I've got an old newspaper photo that appeared showing Mom, Don and me in the hospital. Dad was so proud he went out and bought dozens of copies to send to his 12 siblings and friends. I'll see if I can find it and scan it and post sometime tomorrow.
Meanwhile, here's a couple of pics when we were around 1 or 2 years old. That's my Marine brother on the left...
Absolutely Adorable!!
Happy. Healthy & Prosperous 2012!
God bless and Keep you and everyone here!
Happy New Year! Looking forward to what this new year might bring, I cant help but wonder if 2012 will be the year when Jesus comes back. But then I also wonder if Im ready.
All of my life Ive had to be ready. As a child, I had to be ready for dinner by washing my hands. As an adult, being ready for important responsibilities continues to be an ongoing reality. But Ive come to realize that nothing is more important than being ready for our reunion with Jesus.
Speaking of Christs return, John tells us that everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself (1 John 3:3). Looking forward to Jesus return fills us with hopenot a wish-list kind of hope, but a solid expectation that motivates us to keep our hearts from sinful distractions and rivets our attention on becoming more like Him. If we really believe that this might be the year of His return, we will be more ready to forgive, to seek forgiveness, and to share Gods unconditional love with others.
As we consider the possibility that Jesus could return this year, lets be sure that we are ready. Lets strive to be pure as He is pure, anticipating the day when tears and sorrow, pain and death will all be replaced with the everlasting joy of His presence.
Read: 1 John 2:283:3
We will open the book.
Its pages are blank.
We are going to put words on them ourselves.
The book is called Opportunity
And its first chapter is New Year's Day.
~Edith Lovejoy Pierce~
Wow, Meg! That is absolutely beautiful, for a New Year's Day and Lord's Day opening! Happy New Year to a very special woman!
Thank you, (((yorkie))).
