Hannah & Brent
February 23
The Woodlands, Texas
Q&A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
It didn't take long for either of us to decide that the Woodlands Resort and Conference Center would be the perfect place to get married when we walked outside on their forest deck to look at our ceremony location. The deck sits out over a lake with beautiful fountains and the scenery was so gorgeous we knew that the need for doing any decorating would be minimal. It was also a huge seller to us that the resort catered dinner, made our cakes, and much more included in our package to make our lives easier.
Which details from your wedding were your favorites?
Our three favorite details were taking pictures with the sunset after the ceremony, listening to our loved ones give toasts, and the non-stop dancing.
If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Our one piece of advice for other couples would be, if possible, investing in professionals was way more worth it than we realized. We can't get over how much of a lifesaver it was to have the help of people that knew what they were doing. Thanks to the resort and our other vendors, the wedding day itself felt effortless.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
My favorite moment would be the exit. Brent carried me up a long flight of stairs out of the reception hall and everyone was screaming so enthusiastically waiting for us at our exit that we knew everyone had an excellent time.

Back on the Road, Green Bay Faces Virginia on Saturday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay returns to the road to begin a three-game road trip with its second trip in as many years to Charlottesville, Va. to face Virginia at 3:07 p.m. on Fox Sports Wisconsin and ESPN3. While head coach Brian Wardle and the Phoenix will be playing their second game in the all-time series against Cavaliers, they will also be seeing a familiar face on the sidelines in former Green Bay standout and Virginia head coach Tony Bennett.
Bennett is the program's all-time leading scorer after starring in a Phoenix jersey from 1988-92. Virginia has won four-straight games, including Wednesday's impressive 60-54 victory at the Kohl Center against Wisconsin.
Green Bay enjoyed six days off since returning home on Nov. 24 with a 74-59 victory over another team that had won four-straight games, NDSU. The Phoenix knocked down 9-of-17 from long range and dished out a season-best 20 assists in the win.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Phoenix fans will have numerous options to catch the action on Saturday afternoon, including Fox Sports Wisconsin, ESPN3 and a number of other television stations nationally. Rich Waltz will handle the play-by-play duties while Daymeon Fishbank will serve as the color analyst. To see the full list of channels carrying the game, click here.
The game will be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix, Matt Menzl, will be on the call with Andrew Gavin. Live stats will be available on VirginiaSports.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. FAIR AND BALANCED: Led by leading scorer Keifer Sykes' 21-point game, Green Bay put five players in double figures against NDSU. Sultan Muhammad (13), Kam Cerroni (12), Brennan Cougill (12) and Alec Brown (10) joined Sykes in double figures as five Phoenix players reached double digits in a game for the first time since Feb. 12, 2012 at Detroit. The 20 assists handed out in the victory were the most by the Phoenix since Dec. 31, 2011 at Valpo, a span of 21 games.
2. OLD FOR 18: Syeks entered the 2012-13 season as a starting point guard and a team captain. He entered as a Preseason All-Horizon League Second-Team. The sophomore entered the year after a season in which he scored 335 points (most by a Phoenix freshman since Bennett) and was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team. Amazingly, he also entered as an 18-year old, and he will stay that way through the first 13 games of his sophomore campaign. After playing his first 13 games at age 17, Sykes is now averaging 15.1 in 23 games as an 18-year old.
3. FAST START FOR THE FROSH: Wardle started a true freshman in the opener for the third-straight season, and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has made it look like a great decision. The 6-foot-7 Fouse is averaging 5.5 points and leads the team in rebounds (7.7), steals (1.5) and blocks (1.5) through six games. He has led the team in rebounding in four times.

Japan is a modern democratic society whose population opposes aggressive wars anywhere in the world and seeks to promote peaceful resolution of disputes. However, the Japan of World War II was quite different. It invaded nations, it killed and raped thousands of people in China and during the war most probably slaughtered at least three to four million. Americans recall with anger, the barbarous behavior of the Japanese army toward American and Filipino prisoners who surrendered at Bataan. Thousands were killed on the march to prisons. The Japanese military somehow thought they were scoring some type of propaganda points by showing films of American POWs being beheaded.
Germany is an excellent model for Japan. It has confronted its past and instituted wonderful educational programs that enable German youth to come to grips with their historical past. The latest example of Japanese efforts to rewrite the history of World War II came with the announcement by the education ministry that a new history book written by nationalist "scholars" who refuse to acknowledge Japan's barbarity will be distributed in schools. Before being cleared the most recent version of this distortion of history contained 516 errors that had to be corrected.
It would benefit the Japanese ministry of education to visit Germany and talk with educators on how to deal with World War II.

Military Investigating Gay Pride Flag
The military said they are investigating a photograph that shows a soldier allegedly raising a gay pride flag at a base in Afghanistan. The image has drawn praise from gay rights advocates and fierce criticism from opponents.
"We are aware of the photo of the gay pride flag being flown by U.S. service members and we are investigating," a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force told Fox News.
At this point, the ISAF cannot confirm where the flag was raised, the identity of the soldier, or the authenticity of the photograph.
The photograph first appeared last month on the wall of a Facebook group called, "Wipeout Homophobia on Facebook."
A woman who identified herself as Nicole Jodice posted the images – along with a message praising her husband for raising the rainbow colored flag.
"Hubbie in Afghanistan raising a gay pride flag," she wrote with a link back to her home page that contained additional images.
The images have outraged social conservatives like Tony Perkins, a veteran and president of the Family Research Council.
"There, in the dusty desert of war, an Army outpost saluted the colors of the homosexual lobby by flying a rainbow flag in place of Old Glory," Perkins said. "These displays are an uncomfortable reminder of the open policy that few of the troops support."
"It appears this flag is just one way the President is taking his hostility toward religious freedom to new heights," Perkins said.
Perkins was especially upset because last November soldiers at Camp Marmal were ordered to tear down a Christian cross that marked the entrance to a base chapel. The military defended the removal because it was a "distinctly religious symbol."
He also raised concerns about whether the raising of the flag posed a danger to soldiers in the aftermath of the Koran burning.
"Where is the concern now for angering Afghan Muslims who vehemently oppose homosexuality?" he aside. "The issue is as much an issue of military security as it is of religious morality. What price will we pay because some want to use the military to show their gay pride?"
Queerty.com brushed aside Perkins' concerns calling him a "professional homophobe."
"Apparently a rainbow flag is such a provocation that it excuses attacks on our troops, they wrote. "Or it could be a sign of the strength of our diversity and tolerance, principles we're supposed to treasure."
However, even some supporters of gays serving openly in the military have reservations about the rainbow flag being flown on a military base.
"Unless there was authorization from an appropriate source to raise this flag over the base, and such authorization was not in violation of military codes of conduct, I see this as an unacceptable flouting of the rules," one reader wrote to Instinct Magazine. "This isn't homophobic. It is, in fact, egalitarian."

Young forward Sanchez Watt has today joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan until January 16, 2012.
London-born Sanchez will team up with the Owls, who currently sit third in League One, as he looks to gain further valuable first-team experience following a successful spell on loan at Leeds United last season.
The forward, who signed professional forms with the Gunners in July 2008, made 25 appearances during his time in Yorkshire, following an initial spell with the side in 2009/10. Earlier that season, the 20-year-old enjoyed further first team action on loan at Southend United, which followed a goal-scoring debut for the Gunners in a 2-0 Carling Cup Third Round victory against West Bromwich in September 2009.
This season, the former FA Youth Cup winner has been in scintillating form for Neil Banfield's Reserves, scoring seven goals in just nine appearances. He was also an unused substitute in the 2-1 Carling Cup Fourth Round victory against Bolton Wanderers.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Sanchez the best of luck during his time at Hillsborough.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Re: Gaither - Supplemental Draft
Poor conditioning? If I'm not mistaken, the dainty little Staley was the only one quicker through the footspeed tests, and well, he's 30+ lbs and 4 inches his junior.
Re: Gaither - Supplemental Draft
Great , Great move !! by Ozzie.. 5th round pick..!!! thats a really good deal. No real high pick lost. Quite possibly look to gain that spot back next year for the free agents lost this past year.. A.D, Mughelli, Pashos. They have defintely did there work in rebuilding the O-line. These guys should be together for years to come. Terry,Gaither,Yanda,Chester,Brown,Grubbs.

Re: Gaither - Supplemental Draft
I'll go with the consesus. Good move. Who worries about the 5th round?
The Good: big, strong, somewhat athletic, need position.
The bad: Low I.Q., raw, maybe some character issues.
If he does not pan out, no big loss. If he does work out, another bargain chalked up to Ozzie and the drafting gurus.ENFORCE THE 1ST AMENDMENT WITH THE SECOND, NEVER DISARM

Re: Gaither - Supplemental Draft
I'm actually a little surprised at this move, and while I'm not sold that he'll pan out, I agree that it's a low risk propostition. Why get worked up over a fifth round pick. I'm not convinced about his potential upside, but there isn't much of a downside either.

Re: Gaither - Supplemental Draft
I think some of you guys are being a bit hard on our newest Raven. I keep seeing references to his " poor workout" but according to ESPN.Com the workout was extremely impressive. He ran a 4.90 40 yard dash, had a 31 inch vertical leap, and his short shuttle and 3 cone drill numbers were top notch. They went on to say that had he been at this years combine his number would have been in the top three of all linemen. The only issue was the 15 reps of 225 in the bench press which were attributed to a shoulder strain which occured as he was preparing for his workout day. This guy is going to be a STUD! This is going to go down as an all time steal. Hey he might not be the brightest bulb on the tree in the classroom but we ain't asking for a book report people.... on the field the guy has produced. He has only played football since his senior year of high school. As a freshman he gave up ZERO sacks in 11 starts. Imagine what he will be with J.O and this coaching staff whispering in his ear?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
thanks for the info guys.
i was kind of leaning toward something portable as there isn't any power on the end of the shop where the pipe goes out. i'd have to run a switched circuit over there.
we'll see how it goes.
I design blowers and exhausters for a small company here in Pennsylvania. Sorry nothing small enough to help (they will literally blow the whole garage away, they are the size of a two story house) Any way, what size of fan were you thinking of using? If you are thinking of a regular household box fan, it could work, but where are you planning for the air to go once you scrub it thru your filters? If you suck the welding vapor thru a filter, the filter will only scrub what you can see, the outlet of the fan will still send the micro-toxins out the discharge side of your set up (ie. it will still stink up the inside of the garage). What you need to do is vent the air to the outside of the garage as many of the others have indicated, you also have to pull fresh air in (no matter what you thing air has to come in from somewhere, cracks, holes seams (the better or more finished the garage is the worse your welding vapor will be... for example an old block garage will "leak" more than a new finished dry walled garage). My thoughts are build a box around the 6" vent in the wall where the heater used to vent. Put the fan in exhausting towards the 6" hole, then build a transition down to half the size of the fan (ex. fan is 24" in diameter then build a transition down to a 12"sq. (if it is a square box fan) then build a square duct at least 2 times the diameter in length approx. 4ft. long (48"). you can incorporate the filter at any point in the duct...
This is the reasoning... it does not matter what the hole size is in the garage wall (although getting any smaller than 6" will be to small) with it being boxed in you are creating a point of pressure build up, the atmosphere outside will be less than what will build up in your box on the inside of the garage, thus the air will want to scavenge out the hole (kind of like. the burnt air full mixture escaping out the exhaust valve a combustion engine, with the exception of the air is not super heated). The pressure that will build up will be due to the induced draft you are creating thru the 48"lg. duct. when the fan is running, experiment with a window at the opposite side of the garage, open it or close it as you weld until you get the proper mix of air flow... You will know when you find the right mixture. I exhaust my paint fumes thru a 7" diameter duct thru the roof of my garage in this manor. My whole set up cost me around $20.00 (using the duct an old 6" personal fan and an old wood burner exhaust pipe with cap etc.) I have to open one of my garage windows about 6" to get the flow right... of course a little less in the summer a little more in the winter due to the density of the air (hot to cold).
Now, I know I am long winded, but if your fan is round you could use light gage sheet metal pop-riveted together, you could make a round to round reduction with the light gage material (if you need I can layout what you want), if your fan is in a box you could build a box from old paneling and some 1"sq. wood stock (just seal up the cracks with latex caulk). next, you want at least 48" of duct run. A straight run is alway's best but you could build it vertical, transition from the box to the ceiling then make your run etc. If I get a chance, I'll draw a quick sketch to illustrate what I am speaking of.
Remember, I only design fans, I am not an engineer yet (currently going back to school to become one someday) I have 13yrs of experience, but I hold no responsibility or liability, this is just merely a suggestion (mine works fine).
On a windy day, the wind blowing by helps to create a greater suction which makes me have to turn up my gas on my welder to keep my gas from "blowing away".
Good luck
|Henry Highrise
|A squirrel cage blower is the way to go. If you cut a hole in the wall and mount it with some blow out louvers it will work great. You need to leave a door or window open a little bit when running this, but it will change the air in your garage or shop pretty quick.
exhaust fan
Try a house furnace squirrel cage blower with as big a line as possible pushing air outside. Think 2000 cfm. Set the blower near you and push the air out through a big hose. You need lots of volume or you'll never get rid of the fumes.
|Gearhead forever
|An in line fan would be pitiful at best, especially with a 3 or 4" intake hose. I would think if you wanted to utilize the 6" outlet, you would need to use a high speed or high pressure blower to get any real results. Just my 2 cents
thanks for the replies, guys.
i can vent it outside, there is a hole in the wall where there used to be a woodstove, 6" pipe. i could rig up something for that but then i have to wire in a fan and then have a 20' or so, hose flopping around to wherever i'm welding. i thought if i had a small filtered box with a fan in it and short hose, ie. 3'-4' then i could just plop it down wherever i'm welding and use an extension cord. the other way would probably work better, but would just cost more $$. maybe if i could hang it up out of the way it wouldn't be so bad. i could get an inline 6" fan and then reduce it down to a 3" or 4" hose.
BTW, yes, Stratford does have a very nice park system.
|Gearhead forever
Johnny...I was in your town today....Beautiful place. Great park along the river.
As for your fume hood, can you vent it outside by other means? (make a window plug or???) You can always use a small BI fan or furnace blower to vent out the fumes of your shop. I don't want to cut holes in my wall either. I'm getting my roof re-shingled and having extra roof vents installed. I'm planning on using one of the vents as my exhaust outlet. The big drawback is losing all the heat in the winter.
Out here in the hot dry southwest we have evaporative coolers or "swamp" coolers. They are basically a box with a blower in it. The sides have panels that hold aspen shavings(or foam etc..) water trickles down through the panels soaking the pads. The blower pulls the air through the pads and the process of evaporation cools the air.
Anyway they are pretty common here, sounds like not so common where you are. I am sure if it will do what you are looking for but if it is you could order one. A small window one is around $250.00 us
i don't know anything about those, how would that work?
|How about using an old evaporative cooler?
thanks for the reply. i forgot to mention that this is for my welder. i could make a small filter box with fan. then it would be portable and i'd just have to plug it into an extension cord.
You didn't say if your extracting welding or paint fumes, but here's what I did.
For my welding bench, I snagged a stove hood from the steel recycler and vented it outside.
For paint, I got an old truck sleeper (40"), stripped it outand sealed the walkthrough with plexi. I used the 12v lights that were in it for light, powered by a small batt charger. A heater fan provides pull through ventilation. Inlet and outlet air are filtered. Outlet air is exhausted outside to prevent vapor buildup.
A carbon filter big enough to do any good is going to be really pricey.
There are electric smoke eaters that do a good job and are portable to the job with a little ingenuity. but $$$$$
Fume Extractor
I find sometimes that i'd like to have a fume extractor but i don't want to fork out any $$. they are kind of pricey so i was thinking i could either rig up some kind of blower and duct-line to suck the air outside, or i could make a box with a fan in it and have a couple charcoal filters. i don't really want to cut a hole in the wall to vent the air and i don't want a 20' hose dragging around the shop. do you think my airbox/charcoal filter idea is doable? i'd like to do it that way because i'll have less hose to trip over and i can use a smaller/cheaper motor.
thanks for the input.

Not Star Wars related, posted on another board, but I figured I show it here.
This is hardly worth posting on a prop building forum, and to be honest (and politically correct) probably the "un-manliest" thread in this entire forum, but I did it for my kids and figured I'd share. This was supposed to be a $100, 2 weekend project that ended up costing twice as much and took twice as long (so it goes!).
I wanted to build a tree in their play room to fit their flat screen TV and DVD player. I quickly learned this project was a bit too ambitious for my skill level, but it turned out OK and the kids love it, which is all that really matters. This was the first time I tried something like this.
I bought a cheap, $18.00 TV stand from Wal-Mart.
I cut a slot out of the back plate for the DVD player and mounted it to the front. I put a small piece of industrial strength Velcro on the back of the DVD player so my kids couldn't push it back. I re-enforced behind the backing with 1 x 2's.
I bought some styrene pop-outs from Lowe's and started hot gluing a structure together.
I kept gluing several pieces together to form a basic structure. If I were to ever attempt this again, I would go online and buy two of those big 4' x 5' Styrofoam blocks used in construction, would have been so much easier.
I drew in some rough branch shapes and started to carve. I wish I had one of those hot wires to cut through the styrofoam but they were expensive. The craft stores sold one for about $20, but it was too small for this project and didn't work well.
Here's the basic tree shape.
I used brown felt, drenched in Elmer's glue, to cover the body. Once that dried, I covered the entire tree with two more coats of glue. It dried very solid and should hold up well.
Started painting the walls and added some vinyl Pooh stickers.
I painted the tree using several different Acrylic colors which is hard to see in the photo.
My mom came over and helped with painting some details.
I made the top of the tree out of a large heavy duty piece of green felt. The ceilings are about 9' - 10', so this is pretty tall. The felt is stapled to the ceiling and wall. My wife went to Michael's and used a 50% off coupon for a fake tree. I took all the branches off and pushed them through the felt and secured them with hot glue.
For the most part the entire room is done, save a few details. It came out OK and the kids love it. To be honest, it was a complete pain in the rear. I just wish I had better sculpting skills, the tree didn't come out how I had envisioned and the proportions are off, but I can live with this.

Jungle Mural Celebration – Thurs 6/5
Sidney High School student Rosie Gatto recently completed her jungle themed mural in the children's area of the Sidney Library. She worked over the year to paint this mural, which also helped her earn her Gold Award in Girl Scouts, the highest award available.
To recognize Ms. Gatto's hard work and the completion of this project, we invite kids to join us at the Sidney Library at 4pm on Thursday June 5th for a celebration.

In 1990 Mike Inez manage to score every Rock & Metal Bass players dream by beating 50 other musicians to work with Ozzy Osburnes touring band during his sell out "Blizzard of Ozz" world tour.
Mike made the move in 1993 to join Seattle rock grungers Alice in Chains on their Jar of flies EP and has continued to work with the band ever since.
What makes Mike Inez stand out is his versatile playing style to play hard heavy rock right through to soft acoustic style which is probably why he has been in demand with acts such Heart, Slash and Black Label Society.
Its Ampegs versatility and ability to be toured hard that makes it Mike Inez'z choice of amplification.

- - Puppy is limping... :( (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-puppy-stuff/484953-puppy-limping.html)
Puppy is limping... :(
Hello all,
We're taking our pup, Abbey, to the vet tomorrow of course, but I was wondering if anyone has any input on this, or suggestions as to what we can do to make her comfortable...
Abbey has been limping since Saturday (wasn't very noticeable on Saturday, but she seemed to be favoring one side, when walking). She's still playing, eating, drinking water, seems happy...
Then last night, she was limping more, but now she's also crying when she tries to go up and down stairs (which now, we're carrying her up and down); and when she's laying down and gets up, she cries out in pain.
We've figured out it's her front, right leg/shoulder that's bothering her. We've thoroughly examined her paw, which is fine, and have checked her leg and shoulder, for swelling, tender spots, etc. She doesn't react at all when we touch her anywhere, and there's no swelling. Again, she only cries on the stairs, and getting up, and stretching.
I'm thinking it could be a pulled muscle? I'm just trying to stay calm until we take her in tomorrow; and I'm really hoping that's all it is. We've made her rest all day today; which she doesn't seem to mind, because the pain is getting to her. We've also been putting an ice pack on her leg and shoulder, which she seems to enjoy.
She was playing, A LOT, with her "cousin" all weekend (my sister's GSD)... and she plays rough - gets what I call "the zoomies" and runs with lightning speed, all over the place, and sometimes she runs into things, or slides across the kitchen floor, into the cabinets... I just don't know... pulled muscle? Injury?
It could very well be pano (growing pains). My puppy is almost 7 months and started experiencing the same thing. I've had him on adult food with a lower protein since 16 weeks and he did fantastic. I recently switched him to a high performance dog food and he started limping. The protein level in his old food was 26 %; when I switched his food it increased to 30%. I just switched him back. Still going to the vet tomorrow just to rule anything else out. Check your puppy's food for the protein level...hopefully that is it. It temporary, but painful for them. My guy also had a decreased appetite. I have him in the crate for some rest so he doesn't injure himself hobbling around. Good luck!
How old is your girl?
Will put her in the crate if we have to, but so far today she seems happy resting (she did have an exhausting weekend)... plus I caved and let her sleep on our bed for the first time... couldn't help it. :) now I've learned, once she's on the bed, she doesn't want to move...
Update: Took her to the vet today... very good news - it's more than likely just a pulled muscle/muscle strain. The vet didn't even think it was pano, since she has no tenderness when "squeezing" on her leg (although she said, it's still a possibility).
Got some anti-inflammatory meds, should help with the pain. Now the tricky part will be, forcing her to rest! I feel so bad, that we can't have our play time... she's already going crazy, getting restless, wanting to play. And we have to try to keep her off the stairs, but... in a split level house, this is difficult. My husband can carry her up and down the stairs, but I can't... this is tricky!

I think you need to make a conscious effort to really reward her for being calm when she sees smaller dogs when you're out and about town. Don't get too close necessarily, but when you see a small dog, give her something yummy she doesn't normally get. She will begin to look forward to seeing little dogs.
Although it's fun to go places with your dog, it's a lot less stressful on them to just stay home if they are constantly going to be harassed. And less stressful for you.
Yeah I'm afraid it may resort to that. Her shih tzu is very much the same way. I was trying to avoid leaving her because I like taking her as many places as I can, but my MIL isn't very willing to correct her dogs so it looks like that may be the best bet. I'm happy to do whatever is in the best interest of Reagan. Do you think this fear will transfer over to other small dogs?
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I would probably not take my dog unless I'm paying an extended visit. Like I said, my shih tzu refuses to 'get over it' .. not saying your MIL's won't, just relating what I've experienced. My GSD is pretty full of himself so those types of displays aren't bothersome - I'M the one that can't stand the noise!
Unless your MIL is willing to leash and correct her dogs for their behavior, it may not get better.
Sorry for the confusion. I'm DEFINITELY not saying my dog is at fault. I do protect her. After the first time it happened, I have one person walk behind her when I have to walk her past the little dogs so that they can't get to her. I also mostly keep her separated in a different room, but it is unavoidable for her to have to walk past them at some point. What I was looking for advice on is what can be done to either stop the little dogs aggression or to make Reagan less scared. They haven't bitten her since the first time it happened, but now she's scared of them growling. I just didn't know if there was a way to make her less scared. I totally know she's not at fault and the little dogs are not allowed near her now.

|I live this scenario every day. My pup never responds and isn't concerned about the display my 14 y.o. shih tzu puts on. My solution? They are never together. It's not fun, but my old dog won't hush and accept that the pup is here to stay. He gets to stay in the master suite when the pup is out. Oh well.
|Bear L
What would you like your dog to do? Sit there calmly while allowing the other dogs to bark, snarl and bite her?
If you are not going to protect her, she has to do it herself (and then get unfairly blamed for protecting herself).
Your dog is not at fault. It's the humans and the little dogs. Change what's at fault and you'll have peace. Otherwise, don't bring your dog there to get traumatized and blamed for protecting herself.
When I experience this, I either get my dog out of that situation or shield my dog from the incoming dogs and shoo them away.
If your mom brings you to visit a friend where the friend's kids keep bullying you - what would you like your mom to do?
You're right. I guess fear aggression is the wrong term. I guess what worries me is that them biting her doesn't really do any damage, but if she bites back one of them could be seriously injured or killed, and even though it was self defense I think my MIL would blame her.

|If another dog attacks you and bites you and you bite back, thats not fear aggression. Its just called self defense. If any dog ran up and bit one of my dogs they will bite back and I consider that an appropriate response.
Fear of smaller dogs?
Hey guys,
I tried to search for any similar problems on this forum but I'm not finding what I'm looking for. My adopted GSD Reagan is a total sweetheart. However, my mother-in-law's small dogs are not. She has a male shih tzu and two female chihuahuas. When we come to visit her, which is pretty often, all of her dogs growl and bark at Reagan, and the second Reagan's back is turned to them they snap at her back legs. We tried doing introductions on neutral ground before ever bringing Reagan into the house, but that didn't go well. My MIL's dogs were freaking out because they've never been on leashes before (these dogs have no training at all). Reagan gets along well with other small dogs and completely ignores them. But with these dogs, she's clearly afraid and I don't blame her. While we're visiting, she's constantly looking over her shoulder and whining because she thinks they're going to sneak up behind her. Recently she has started barking back and growling a little. I'm worried this could turn into fear aggression and that she could end up hurting one of my MIL's dogs, even though I wouldn't blame her because they're already attacking her. Has anyone experienced this before or have any suggestions for how to handle this?

Thanks Raf, guess I should pay more attention. Anyway that is a nice FS, makes me want to send BM another order but I think I'll stick with LS4U since I have her vest and neck seal.

I really like how this shows off Boba's rarely seen "arm cloaking" ability!
Yeah, not a lot of people know about that.
All I can say is that you need to wear this to some events, if not you are doing yourself a disservice because of how good its going to look.
And so it begins...RKD gaunts that I will somehow turn into ESB. Have to completely redo the whipcord housing and come up with something for the flamethrower. But lots and lots of trimming first. I've already made some progress on the left one.
You could buy an ESB flamethrower from Evo Props, I think. Or maybe shoot Christian at MOW Studios an e-mail for just the flamethrower, dental expander, whipcord housing parts. I needed a replacement ESB gauntlet half for a set he sold me in October and he was happy to help me.
BTW, just a stunning build!
Well this is going to be one heck of an impressive display piece.
and here i was thinking you already had the gauntlets done and were just waiting for the big reveal. pumped to see more progress on this! awesome work as always
cant wait
Anyone have a pair of ESB gloves sitting around that they would like to get rid of? I'm prepared to offer bottom dollar . But seriously, I need some cheap gloves, emphasis on cheap. Just putting it out there.
Well the gauntlets are all trimmed up and the whipcord housing has been cut down. Also drilled the holes for the darts and made a button for the flashlight thingy. A quick coat of primer lets you see any problem areas that need extra trimming or sanding. I think they're looking pretty good.
i think they are looking very good.
Alright, so I went ahead and bought a mohair girth for $20. All white and new...
I then added some brown acrylic paint to a little bit of water in a bucket and soaked the whole belt. This got rid of all the white.
After that was dry, I misted it with brown and reddish brown spray paint until it had the right look.
Inside with flash:
Outdoors in natural light:
The ESB color is kind of tricky. In the reference photos it goes from pretty brown to pretty red. I think I've achieved something pretty close very easily and inexpensively. I'll let it dry completely before messing with it anymore. I think I can probably find some black straps around the house. I already had all the paint so this whole project was $25.
exellent build, love the detail
$25? Man what a good deal. Loving the gauntlet work also
Matt i would love a link for where you got that girth at that price, that would be amazing!!
looks really good by the way
I ordered mine from victorycanter.com, but some people get them from horseloverz.com or through amazon. They are no more than $20 anywhere really, or at least shouldn't be.
Thanks for the compliments guys. As always, greatly appreciated.
This is officially my new favourite thread. Superb.
Thanks Matt you rock!
Tiny, tiny update but I wanted you guys to see this sweet whipcord housing I'm working on.
Still needs a little work but you get the idea.
Earthquake? Hopefully no serious damage!

Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker separated his left shoulder on Sunday and the injury is believed to be more serious than his first dislocation in Week 1. Locker was sacked by Houston Texans safety Glover Quin when the injury occurred. Head coach Mike Munchak said, "It is sore, we just don't know to what level. We need to decide what happened. And then we'll make a decision on what's best for the player. We'll evaluate that when we get more information tomorrow."
Fantasy Analysis:
Even though the injury was to his non-throwing shoulder, the early reports suggest he'll miss at least one game. Fantasy owners need to be prepared to be without him in Week 5. QB Matt Hasselbeck will play in his absence. The 14-year veteran has to be considered one of the best backups a team could want. A problem that may arise is this team really needs to get their running game going. Hasselbeck isn't quite as fleet-footed as Locker, needless to say, so having him stand tall in the pocket in a lot of 2nd/3rd and long situations would allow the defense's pass rush to "pin their ears back" as John Madden liked to say.

Housing Prepayment Funds Application
The federal government makes Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized, Perkins and PLUS loans directly available to students through schools across the country. No banks or guarantee agencies are involved. The U.S. Department of Education is the lender.
Private loans are available from private lenders, such as banks, savings and loan associations or credit unions. Depending on the credit strength of the borrower/cosigner, these loans may cost more than federal loans. Private loans may have different eligibility requirements than federal and state loans.
Minnesota State University Moorhead awards a limited number of partial pre-payment of campus housing costs, an advance from anticipated financial aid funds. The advance is for students with greatest demonstrated need where the pre-payment creates a hardship for the family. Selection is based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) results and the student's written narrative. To apply, complete the information below and submit to the Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid. The 2016-2017 FAFSA results must be received by MSUM for consideration of the application, and financial aid processed to cover all expected costs. Attach a $50 check (payable to MSUM Housing) to this application and send to the Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid. Submit the housing application directly to the MSUM Housing Office.
To be eligible for Direct Loans you must:
Undergraduate students may borrow from $5,500 to $7,500 annually, based on grade level and need, at low interest from the Federal government. For Direct Subsidized loans, students must demonstrate financial need and the interest is paid by the Federal government while students are in school. Students are charged interest while in school on Unsubsidized Direct loans and are not required to demonstrate financial need. Independent students have expanded Unsubsidized Direct loan eligibility up to an additional $5,000. Under the standard repayment plan, principal and interest begin six months after leaving school with a minimum payment of $50 per month based on the total amount borrowed. Maximum borrowing limits are based on the combined borrowing through Subsidized and Unsubsidized programs. Students pay origination fees on each loan disbursement.
First time borrowers must complete Entrance Loan Counseling and Master Promissory Note for Minnesota State University Moorhead.

The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the U.S. Department of Education's (ED's) central database for student aid. NSLDS receives data from schools, guaranty agencies, the Direct Loan program, and other Department of ED programs. NSLDS Student Access provides a centralized, integrated view of Title IV loans and grants so that recipients of Title IV Aid can access and inquire about their Title IV loans and/or grant data.
A Federal Perkins Loan is a low interest (5%) loan for both undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need. Undergraduates may borrow up to $5,500 annually (maximum borrowing of $27,500). Perkins Loans are issued by Minnesota State University Moorhead and must be repaid to MSUM beginning six or nine months after graduating, leaving school or dropping below half-time enrollment. It has a maximum repayment period of 10 years and a minimum monthly payment of $40. A portion of the principal and interest may be cancelled for certain types of public service and payment deferment for service in the Peace Corps, VISTA or the Armed Forces.Perkins funds are limited, early application of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) along with need are the keys to receiving Perkins Loans. No additional paperwork is necessary to apply. Students are required to complete the FAFSA every academic year. Students who are awarded Perkins Loans and wish to accept will need to complete the Perkins entrance loan counseling and a master promissory note (EMPN). You will receive an email from Heartland/ECSI, the Perkins Loan servicer, with instructions or go directly to: https://www.ecsi.net/promx7/. Immediately complete the EMPN upon receipt of the email. Your FSA ID is your e-signature. To reduce or decline your Perkins Loan send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The PLUS is available through the Department of Education for parents or graduate students who do not demonstrate financial need, or who need more assistance than is available in the Federal Direct Loan. Federal PLUS can be used to replace the contribution that is expected from parents and students. The interest rate is 6.31 percent. Before applying for a Federal PLUS, apply for all other types of financial aid. Parents of dependent students may be eligible to borrow a Parent PLUS loan to help cover educational cost.
As you pursue your educational goals, we understand that meeting the cost of your education can be a major concern. If your financial aid award does not meet the cost of your education, you may want to consider a private loan.
We first encourage you to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility for federal and state aid. The FAFSA is available at the Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid located on the MSUM campus, from your high school counselor or online at www.fafsa.gov.If, after taking advantage of Federal Loan options, you find that you still need additional loans, click on the link below to view a list of loan programs used by MSUM students in the past four years, their terms, and links to applications. Borrowers who have not completed a FAFSA will need to submit a Private Loan Waiver to the Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid.
Please Note: Private Loan applications should be submitted AFTER receiving and responding to the official award letter. This will limit the number of credit inquiries on your record and allow us to comply with various lender's credit approval policies. Allow a minimum of three weeks from application to disbursement of loan funds.

Re: Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
First of all, thanks to all, despite my newfound headache (haha)
I mentioned the check valve, because I didn't want the pump constantly pumping that little bit left in the discharge hose, but Tom's excellent suggestion fixes that problem.
Secondly, for the life of me, there seems to be no evidence of this boat ever having an automatic bilge, despite it being offshore numerous times. Some people like living on the edge, I guess.
Lastly, I should have prefaced the entire conversation by saying that as a complete noob at all things fiberglass, I am TERRIFIED of drilling on my Preciousss. I was a nervous wreck when I drilled four little holes for the new shore power plug! Paying the yard to do any repairs at this time is out of the question.
I guess I will check things out again this weekend, and just keep stressing until I ultimately make a decision. One thing is for sure, SeaMist is NOT going back in the water without an automatic bilge pump.
Re: Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
Yeah, no one likes cutting holes in his boat, but this time you should. Each pump needs a completely separate line and its own through-hull. Here's why:
First, let's deal with the question of check valves. All the trash and junk that falls inside the boat that you don't catch ends up in the bilge -- wood splinters, bits of paper, paperclips, whatever it might be. No matter how clean you keep your boat, stuff will end up there. This stuff tends to clog check valves so they no longer close (if you are lucky. It's worse when it clogs in a backflow so it can't open). So no check valves, please.
Now the Y valve. Y-valves ensure only one pump at a time can operate rather than both. That doesn't help you as much.
What about a Y fitting instead? Imagine your Y-connection with no check valves -- you pump from the bilge right back to the bilge.
And finally, don't forget to put a tall loop with vacuum break in your new hose as you install it, The top of the loop should be above the waterline even when well heeled -- otherwise, you will end up with reverse flow carrying water into the bilge when you heel to the through hull side.
Re: Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
Plumb the second, automatic bilge pump to dump into your cockpit. Then let the scuppers handle the flow.
A sudden foot bath is better/simpler than a bilge alarm. Also, no need for another hole in your hull.
Previous discussion on this topic: http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-m...tml#post333418
Re: Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
Separate thru hulls. We have one manual and two electric pumps. 3 thru hulls
Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
I actually have do have a secondary manual only pump below aswell as the primary manual pump (and would assume all boaters would so i didnt make mention of it) making for three pumps with the electric one and dont sail alone but if it ever got to the point that even two out of three pumps are actually necessary i think it would likely be a lost cause at that point and time to "pull the D ring, ride the rails and hit the silk"
Re: Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
I hate holes in the boat, but having them above the water line is less scarey. Having two or more completely redundant systems is not a bad thing.
Re: Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
good points on being able to run both systems at once.
I myself like to keep holes in the hull to a minimum.. but sometimes you need to make an exception.. and I think this is one of those times
Re: Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
I agree I would use a separate thru hull for the new pump. Adding Ys and check valves restrict flow and on a de-watering system the fewer restrictions the better. And has been said you may need both at once.

Re: Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
What happens if you need to use both pumps at once? That may sound scary but a possibility. Do you have a manual pump below? Why not? I realize that it's a 27 footer. So this may be a little bit to redundant. But, You could be 10 miles off-shore get caught in a storm and get swamped; then lose power. Is your electric bilge going to work? Probably. Do you feel comfortable being in the cockpit when you may have issues down below?
I'm a believer in a manual pump up top and one below where they are easily accessible and Piped separately if possible. Sure that one below might not be pretty; but it's no different then the fire extinguisher. I run two electric pumps as well. One fully auto and one bigger pump for emergencies. (My boats a little bigger) I plan as if i have lost all power.
Sorry to be the pessimist. Just my thoughts.
Adding automatic bilge pump to manual bilge pump
I set up my Oday 272LE this way when i bought it. I keep the Y valve to auto bilge the whole time and use the manual bilge only for emergency ops if the need should arise or just to test it monthly. They key is remember to move the valve to correspond to manual pump or electric bilge mode obviously. a reminder by the switch is a good idea.. I didnt install any check valve as i wanted utilize the KISS principle for any bilge system.

Wish some Serbian papers did an interview with her, to give us an update on what is going on.
|May 16th, 2017 01:56 AM
Re: Bojana Jovanovski...
Her comeback is not going as well as she expected, she's still in pain and cannot train full time. She misses tennis a lot and is desperate to play professionally again, but it's still very doubtful when/if she can return. At the very earliest there's some possibility she'll be ready for the summer HC season, but it's far from certain, unfortunately.

Re: Bojana Jovanovski...
I wonder whether she will play pro tennis again or not? She's only about 26. Her body was struggling and I'm sure she's enjoying wedded bliss, but hopefully she will decide to play again, or at the very least update us about her life. There have been no posts on her official facebook, twitter or instagram since about Nov 2016.

Re: Bojana Jovanovski...
From her interview in Serbian daily newspaper "Sportski urnal" after the match against Radwanska:
I don't think I played that badly, even though she won with a convincing scoreline. I'm simply not match tough, I've had a lot of problems with my shoulder and wrist during the last three years. I feel lucky I even got to play here.
I'm not optimistic. There have been so many injuries and they're dificult to heal. I have a chronic lesion of my shoulder tendon and it's not sure that even surgery can fix it. As a result, I can't practice more than 2 hours a day. It doesn't jeopardize my career, but it means I can't give my best as I can't train with full intensity. There's a lot of scar tissue in the muscle and I can't overuse it. I've tried everything.
I talked to Janko Tipsarević about the stem cell treatment he underwent and I tried it as well, with a different method. I don't want to go through it again as it's harmful for the entire organism. Janko, Rafa and I have done a lot of damage to our bodies. No matter how mentally tough I am, my body just can't go on anymore.
Thanks to @Joana

Love this pattern and so did my friends. Easy to sew, no other closing is needed; the ruler keeps it closed tightly so no fear of anything falling out. Love that "snapping sound."

Xerox says SEC probing accounting at ACS
Rochester, NY -- Xerox says in a regulatory filing that the Securities and Exchange Commission has been investigating certain accounting practices at Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., which was acquired by Xerox in 2010 and is now part of Xerox's Services business.
The investigation is focused on whether revenue from certain ACS equipment resale transactions should have been presented on a net rather than gross basis.
The SEC staff has advised that it will not recommend charges against Xerox. But Xerox says Xerox Services president Lynn Blodgett has received a warning notice from SEC staff of possible civil enforcement actions. Another current employee and a former employee also have received the notices.

I recently started upgrading my jet pack and helmet with a MLC and BKBT2, respectively. When I also got a new JD codpiece, this led to me redoing my belt and holsters as well, this time from scratch.
The helmet had some depressions, air bubble holes and a recessed area under the left earcap that resulted in lots of bondo and pretty much reshaping the left cheek.
I thought I would throw up some progress pics.
Let me know what you think.

Rick Joy, AIA, began his Reinvention 2011 keynote address with a constructive challenge to the title of the conference. Rather than reinventing his firm's practice, the Tucson, Ariz.-based architect said, "I think we're just evolving." Joy called on attendees to engage in a similar process, guided, as he is, by a robust set of principles. Citing his own work and that of colleagues such as Tom Kundig, FAIA, Brian MacKay-Lyons, FRAIC, Hon. AIA, Wendell Burnette, AIA, and Will Bruder, AIA, he noted, "What sets us apart is that with each and every thing we do, we carry with us our core values." Joy then laid out his own core values, illustrating each with examples of his firm's work and with photographs of the images that guide it.
Joy's practice of collecting such images—often ethereally lighted abstract landscapes—exemplifies his first core value, which is "being comprehensively observant." It also sheds light on his interest in "being conceptually insightful and giving." Joy said he learns not only from nature, but also from other artists in their "quest for the real." The result, in a chapel he designed, is a subtle manipulation of natural light that establishes a sacred space. A self-described landscape guy, Joy illustrated his value of "cherishing the site's spirit" with his plan for the Amangiri, a resort in the Utah desert designed in cooperation with architects Wendell Burnette and Marwan Al-Sayed, and a house that inhabits its forested site, he said, "like a deer stepping out of the woods at dusk."
Prizing culture as well as nature, Joy presented three of his firm's projects that respond to their settings with materials and forms that resonate regionally and historically, but without resorting to imitation. "There's a lot of wisdom in local building culture," he said, but "I'm using my own brain to illuminate it." Joy also elevates the process of building—"striving for an heirloom quality of craft and endurance; it's luxury without gold flakes"—and a design process that involves people from a broad variety of backgrounds.
Joy closed with two values of particular relevance both to his audience and to current conditions in the profession. Remember, he said, "that architecture is hard." He underscored the point with photographs of a project abandoned by its owner halfway through construction: an elegant and mysterious rammed earth house now "just decaying and falling apart." Yes, architecture is hard, Joy insisted, "and it's a blast," in part because it rewards the practitioner's adherence to enduring values. "The reason we have work—and why I'm having fun—is all based on this sort of core values," Joy said. "As architects, we have to stick together and stay true to some of these things—for the profession. If we stick to what we really know and believe in … I think we can get out of this [economic downturn] in a better way than by changing too much."

Pew: MSNBC's coverage of Romney more negative than Fox's of Obama
posted at 1:31 pm on November 2, 2012 by Allahpundit
If you understand MSNBC as an attempt to counterprogram the liberal caricature of Fox News rather than the actual Fox News, this is unsurprising:
According to Pew, four years ago the numbers for Fox and MSNBC were essentially mirror images of each other vis-a-vis Obama and McCain. If you notice the dates in the graphic, you might be tempted to conclude that the negativity was driven by Romney's fading polls during September. Not so. If that's the case, then his resurrection after the Mile-High Massacre on October 3 should have cut sharply into the positive/negative gap. And besides, per Pew, his numbers were actually worse on MSNBC in non-horserace coverage:
MSNBC was especially negative in its treatment of Romney's policy prescriptions. Fully 75% of the stories focused on Romney's policies were negative compared with 1% that were positive. For Obama, by comparison, 32% of policy stories were favorable while 18% were negative.
I must have missed the one percent that were positive, unless they ran those in the first half-hour of Scarborough's show at 6 a.m. to clear the way for the rest of the day. Exit question: How is it that Obama's coverage from late August to late October was nearly even on CNN and positive (of course) on MSNBC when that period overlaps almost perfectly with the drip-drip-drip of Benghazi revelations?

Following her graduation from Marygrove in 1972, Beth continued her education at the University of Michigan where she earned a Medical Degree in 1976 followed by an internship at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit. Her future path was set with a two-year residency in Family Practice at Harrisburg Hospital, Pennsylvania. Next was a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Faculty Development Fellowship at the University of Iowa Department of Family Practice. She also earned a Master's degree in Instructional Design and Technology, Health Sciences Education. Beth met her husband Roger Zinser in a statistics class there in 1980. Roger, who has a Ph.D. in Botany, taught general biology.
Following the two-year fellowship, Beth joined the faculty in Family Medicine at Iowa where she handled many responsibilities during the next 13 years. She saw patients, taught, did research, community and university service and was residency director for the program. She became involved with the Domestic Violence Intervention Project and served on the board for five years and then joined the board of United Action for Youth, an after-school program to deter youth from trouble.
She left Iowa for Chicago in 1992 to become head of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Illinois, Chicago School of Medicine, clinical chief at the University Hospital and tenured professor. A former student Marisela Dominguez, MD, says, "It's an honor for me to recommend Dr. Burns … I have been blessed with excellent training at the UIC where she was the department head, and under her direction, I was able to grow and bloom as the family physician that I am today. Her love and dedication to the medical profession has always been inspiring and with her as my role model, I could only continue following her path on my quest for excellence." Dr. Dominguez is also an assistant professor of Clinical Family Medicine at UIC.
The back-story of her achievement is a deep commitment to the health and wellness of women and children. Her friend and former roommate, Barbara Burke Johns '72, says, "Beth elected family practice as her specialty in order to know and better serve patients in all life stages. She recognized the need for primary care physicians at a time when most medical students were choosing higher paying specialties."
Five years ago, Beth left Chicago for North Dakota, where she is a tenured professor at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences in Grand Forks and an elected member of the university's graduate faculty. She also treats patients at the UND Student Health Services Clinic and is director of the ND Women's Health Center of Excellence in Women's Health Region VIII Demonstration Project. She completed the Bishop/ACE Fellowship Program in academic administration and leadership in 2005.
Beth's influence reaches beyond US borders. In 2002, she traveled to the former Soviet Republic of Moldova to teach faculty how to conduct women's health screening because women were dying of cervical cancer. She also traveled to Tajikistan and Turkmenistan teaching deans of the colleges of nursing.
She has returned to Marygrove College to serve on the Board of Trustees and is a member of the Development Committee. When Beth was elected to the Board, she said of Marygrove, "The education I received in the sciences paved the way to the University of Michigan Medical School. But the humanities and social sciences made me a better person." Her fondness and admiration for the College are evident when she says, "Marygrove demonstrated that there are incredibly intelligent women in this world who have voices that should be heard and who do work that is significant. I had wonderful professors at Marygrove, but my Chemistry and Biology profs stand out—Sister Mary Cabrini Hohl, Sister Sue Fleming, Sister Stanislaus and Diane Hanson as well as Sister Dorothy for Physics and David Ozar for Philosophy. They were all very supportive and really believed in helping students achieve their goals."
"Beth has pursued a career in medicine to help others," says Beth's mother Genevieve Lombard Burns, a Marygrove alumna from the class of 1948.

"Be ready for a side ache for two days after you hear Kerri Pomarolli. I was tempted to roll in the aisle, but I didn't want to miss the next one liner! The best part was the winsome way that Kerri let people know about Jesus. She made us laugh, told us what God had done for her and what He wanted to do for us. Kerri gave one of the clearest presentations of the gospel that I have ever heard. Then she made us laugh again! We had a very fun and very purposeful evening."
- Women's Ministry Director, Sunridge Community Church
"Our campus community could not have been more delighted by Kerri's visit to Malone College. Students, faculty and staff embraced Kerri as the result of her authentic down to earth style. I cannot imagine even a handful of students, regardless where they are in their own faith journey, not connecting with Kerri's message. It was unapologetically Christian and communicated in a way that almost immediately broke down any walls that our diverse student population might have expected. Several students claimed that Kerri's was the best Chapel of the year. We are excited to have Kerri and her husband, Ron McGehee on our calendar for next year!" - Director of Student Activities, Malone College
"We couldn't ask for a better partner in Kerri Pomarolli for our recent fundraiser! She was professional in every way regarding communication before the event and honoring our schedule during the event. She was passionate about our nonprofit, Christian adoption agency and promoted our ministry throughout her time on stage. And… she was hysterical! Her humor crossed generations, touched all our hearts, and left us with sore tummies and lighter spirits! If you have the opportunity to book her for your next event, you will be in for a treat that will leave you wanting more, renewed in your love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and encouraged in the expansion of your ministry!" - Loren Rae Easterling, Director of Ministry Development,Covenant Care Adoption & Crisis Pregnancy Services
I moved to LA to pursue my dreams… famous actress/trophy wife. I went to church only when there was parking and did things exactly the way I planned them. Funny how even though I was getting worldly success and my mom had things to brag about at bridge, I wasn't happy. I knew something had to change. I silently prayed one night while sitting in a show… 'God I just want to perform… however You see fit. I just want to come back to You.'
That was the most powerful prayer because the very next day things changed. I started a ministry called Act in Faith that provides original dramas for churches with Hollywood actors and directors. We've been touring ever since. In the midst of that, God led me to stand up comedy. Not only did He want me to talk about HIM, He wanted me to do it in Hollywood where He wasn't getting much stage time. I said YES and everything took off from there. It's been my honor and passion to go out, talk about HIM and what He's doing in my life, to people from all walks of life—and I'm loving every minute of it.

Yes! Organic Market pulls out of Southeast
Despite a $900,000 grant from the District and owner Gary Cha's best efforts to make a profit, Yes! Organic Market — the local chain of small, organic grocery stores — plans to close its store on Pennsylvania Avenue SE, The Washington Post reported.
The store's closing is a setback in efforts to expand food options in neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River. When it opened in the fall of 2010, the store was hailed by the project's developer and District officials as a badly needed source of healthy food east of the river, where there are only three full-service grocery stores but more than 140,000 residents.
