'I've Wept for America': Billy Graham Laments Country's Direction in Final Sermon on 95th Birthday
Updated at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 8, 2013
Flanked by political figure Sarah Palin and real estate billionaire Donald Trump, global Christian icon Rev. Billy Graham revealed why he "wept for America" in what was billed as his final sermon to the nation at his 95th birthday celebration in North Carolina Thursday night.
"Our country's in great need of a spiritual awakening," Graham said in the pre-recorded half hour sermon billed My Hope America aired nationally on Fox News Channel and at his birthday celebration Thursday night. "There have been times that I've wept as I've gone from city to city and I've seen how far people have wandered from God."
Considered the most influential Christian evangelists, Graham has spoken to more than 210 million people in 185 countries and has prayed with every U.S. President since Harry Truman.
Graham who was recently released from hospital after spending a couple of weeks doing tests on his lungs made a rare public appearance at the gala held in his honor Thursday.
A USA Today report said he appeared "white-haired and heavier-set now than he once was, [and] was brought into the ballroom in a wheelchair."
About 900 people attended the two-hour event according to a Fox News report during which the beloved evangelist announced: "We're going to have a short evening…Daddy's 95."
"Billy Graham, we need you around another 95 years," Palin reportedly noted during the celebration according to the Fox News report. "We need Billy Graham's message to be heard, I think, today more than ever."
She later revealed in an interview with the USA Today that: "His message transformed my mom's life."
"In the '70s, she would tune into the Billy Graham crusades, televised. My mom was raised Catholic, and she ... was yearning for something more," said Palin. "His invitation for people to know that they could have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ — my mom understood that from the way that he could articulate it. She became a Christian, led the rest of the family to Christ, and that I believe transformed our family."
In an interview with WSOC-TV two weeks ago, Graham's sister, Jean Ford, said she was concerned when she learned her brother was in the hospital but says he is now doing better than he has been in year.
"He could hear every word I said. Alert. His eyes were bright and he was laughing and joking," she said.
Ford who also attended the gala with her husband on Thursday night also praised her brother for being steadfast with his message.
"It is moving to me. To see this young man with all this energy, and the old man sitting on his porch, and the message has not changed," said Ford.
When asked who she thought would become the next Billy Graham, she said he was unique.
"That is my brother. He was God's person for a special time in our history. I am grateful that I know him then and that I know him like I do," said Ford.

Cafe Roasters
Cafe Roasters is a Amazon store (opening soon) featuring geographically local, premium specialty coffee crafted and roasted by small artisan coffee roasters. Our company is passionate about great coffee and supporting the artists that put their heart and soul into roasting and blending a splendidly unique cup of coffee.
Our macro audiences are the small local cafe roasters and the world-wide consumers of coffee.
The cafe roasters are in a David and Goliath battle (with big brands like Starbucks and Farmer Bros.) to attract consumers who they want to experience the taste and pleasure of a hand crafted cup of coffee. They are passionate about their profession and take pride in everything they do.
Amazon coffee buyers come in two flavors. Buyers who know what they are looking for in Amazon's coffee section and buyers who like to shop Amazon and discover new specialty coffees. We are hoping to appeal to the emotions (unique, premium, gourmet, specialty, hand crafted, scarce) of both audiences. Our goal is to persuade Amazon to create a new category in the coffee section called "Cafe Roasters" and expose Amazon customers to hundreds of small, local coffee roasters.
We are hoping the talented designers of 99 Designs can create a logo that offers a brand promise "unique hand crafted coffees from small, local artisan roasters."
The ideal logo is internet friendly (colors) is horizontally focused (so that it can be used in a title banner), has a white background (helpful for a Amazon store).
We are very open minded and looking forward to reviewing unique, artistic designs.
Our cafe roaster partners also appreciate unique design. The following a few examples:

The IUCN Water and Nature Initiative (WANI) recently coordinated a river basin restoration action plan in partnership with the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission (NIWRMC) to restore flows in the Komadugu Yobe Basin.
The WANI project site 'Komadugu Yobe Basin (KYB)' covers a total area of 148,000 km2 in north-eastern Nigeria. It is a sub-basin of Lake Chad, which is drained by two main river systems: the Yobe and the Komadugu. The Nigeria portion of the basin contributes 95% of the basin's water.
In the past 2 years, the WANI Komadugu Yobe Basin project undertook several interventions to improve land and water resources management. The project, in partnership with the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission (NIWRMC), is aiming to improve river basin ecosystem services to sustain riparian communities and the natural environment of the basin.
A first intervention early in the year was accomplished with the help of more than a thousand volunteers from surrounding communities, engaged in the manual removal of silt from the rivers. At the river-bed outlet of the Tiga Dam, the Rantan community cleared 2 kilometers of river silt and in Dabi more than 900 m3 of weed was removed.
The second intervention included dyking and silt removal of the Hadejia River, which was completed in May. Both interventions were handled by adhering to environmental concerns such as keeping the natural beauty of the surrounding areas intact, creating aesthetically satisfying landscapes, and causing minimal disturbance to the area's ecology.
WANI's KYB project started in 2005 as a joint initiative by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN), and the Nigerian Conservation Foundation. It seeks to build consensus on key water management principles and coordination mechanisms to help redress land and water resource problems in the Komadugu Yobe Basin.
Under its current phase, IUCN is partnering with FGN through the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission to support the application of the Commission's strategic plan at national level. For IUCN, "the WANI KYB project aims to ensure the security of poor people and their livelihoods through demonstrating, replicating and scaling-up of restoration and sustainable management of water resources and ecosystem services", said Daniel Yawson, KYB Project Coordinator.
For more information, contact Daniel K. Yawson, KYB Project Coordinator: [email protected].

NFL Sunday Drivers: Why Fans Experience Life In The Not-So-Fast Lane
September 9, 2010: In the NFL, a game-winning drive can take just a matter of seconds off the clock and many times utilizes a no-huddle offense in order to speed up the situation.
However, regarding the process of actually getting to tailgate parties and the games themselves, many fans find that the process can often be mind-numbingly and excruciatingly slow. In fact, a majority of NFL fans must deal with traffic that is 30% slower on game days than at other times and many face traffic congestion that is 50% slower when their home team is in town.
According to a study by location and navigation solutions company TomTom, NFL fans heading to FedEx Field for Washington Redskins' home games, New England Patriots fans going to Gillette Stadium and fans of the Buffalo Bills attempting to reach Ralph Wilson Stadium are forced to drive 50% slower than typical speeds for the same roads. Slightly better off are fans in Jacksonville, Carolina, Miami, Tennessee, Green Bay, Atlanta, and Dallas, where Cowboys Stadium will host Super Bowl XLV in February, where in each case the drive is 30% slower on game days due to traffic and congestion.
Meanwhile, NFL game day traffic is least affected in Oakland, San Diego, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Cleveland, Baltimore, Denver, and Chicago, with slow-downs of less than 21%, according to Concord, Mass.-based TomTom.
Results from Arizona, Tampa Bay and Kansas City were not included due to limited sample size. Other teams not mentioned average a 30% slower drive time, per TomTom.
"On game days, or any day for that matter, drivers want to be able to get to their destinations faster," Nhai Cao, senior product manager at TomTom, said in a statement. "With unique access to trillions of GPS measurements provided by our community of over 45 million drivers on an anonymous, opt-in basis, TomTom can consistently deliver our drivers access to the best possible routes via our IQ Routes technology – even on game days."
In preparing for the 2010 NFL season, fans in their respective cities should also keep this information in mind, from the TomTom study:
• While one-third of the cities experience the slowest average speeds two hours before games start, fans in cities including Oakland, Miami and Cincinnati are heading to the stadium early as they experience the worst traffic four hours prior to kickoff.
• Eight of the ten professional football stadiums with the greatest game-time delays are based on the East Coast. "While fans on the West Coast contemplate East Coast biases, it looks like they have the upper hand when it comes to smoother traffic," according to TomTom.
• Fans in New Orleans and St. Louis can expect to experience the overall slowest speeds an hour before the game, as they drive at roughly 10 MPH.
"Fans in Oakland, Miami and Cincinnati are heading to the stadium early as they experience the worst traffic four hours prior to kickoff."
The TomTom study compares the average traffic speeds on the immediate major roadways leading to and around the 32 professional football stadiums to the average speeds on non-game days. Traffic patterns were analyzed over a four hour period prior to kickoff based in data from home games in the 2009 season.
The results of this study were calculated using data from the TomTom user community. TomTom compared anonymously contributed GPS measurements and data during the home games for each stadium for the 2009 season with data from TomTom's historical speed database, Speed Profiles, which creates historical traffic patterns on both primary and secondary roads using data over a two-year period.

Now you don't have to!
We offer 2 levels of service combining the live music of The "A" Band and DJ'd music. The 1st level only requires that you send a list of songs you want played by our DJ service during band breaks.

With Crossover, we produce a full band sound with just 2 to 3 musicians/singers supported by pre-recorded music tracks.

Ratings for Dr. Elisabetta Alfonsi
I've been seeing Dr. Alfonsi for over 5 years and all I can say is that she is far the best chiropractor I've been treated by. She is an excellent listener and really cares about your health, it is obvious she loves what she does for a living. Hands down I recommend her for any and all your back issues.
Dr. Alfonsi is the best thing that ever happened to me. I met her 10 years ago and she has accompanied me through good times and very painful times. I work in the medical field myself, and have very serious back problems. I would never let anyone else touch my back and I trust her completely. Dr. Alfonsi has a very distinct, unique approach. She combines muscle work, adjustments and energy work and really listens to my body. There have been times where I hardly could walk, sit or lie down and she always finds a way to ease my pain and help my body heal itself. Dr. Alfonsi manages to adjust you gently, contrary to what you would expect when you think about your typical chiropractor. She has become my companion and guide over the years and I have jokingly said on several occasions that I have never been so faithful to anybody in my life.
I have a long history of back and neck problems as well as an autoimmune disease that manifests itself with balance problems. Dr. Alfonsi is extremely knowledgeable and caring - she has helped me immensely! I highly recommend her!
I've seen many Chiropractors and Dr. Alfonsi is by far the best. I've been seeing her, on an as needed basis for years. Dr. Alfonsi is gentle, open and really listens to what you are feeling and what you need. She has an amazing ability to read my body and understand it. The time that she spends massaging/relaxing the injured area is exceptional. In addition to her expertise as a Dr, she is a warm, caring and lovely person that puts you at ease right away! Anyone is lucky to have her for their Chiropractor!
I saw 4 specialists for severe headaches, gait problems, peripheral neuropathy in the hands to no satisfaction. I was recommended to Dr. Alfonsi by my condo partners and began seeing her this year. I now feel wonderful and have no side effects of my two compressed cervical discs. I see her twice a month and am thanking the day I met her.
Dr. Alfonsi is wonderful. She's perceptive, smart, knowledgeable, and skilled. She won't hurt you, and most unusual: she won't waste your time and money telling you to come back over and over when you don't really need it.
She's so intuitive it's almost scary. She can see what the problem is so clearly. Dr. Alfonsi is also a caring, friendly doctor who completely puts you at ease. I give her my highest recommendation.
I first saw Dr. Alfonsi for chronic neck pain that was periodically disabling me for several days at a time. She was extremely thorough in her initial exam and carefully explained her treatment proposal to me in detail. After a few visits, my neck mobility was hugely improved. She worked with me and my a trainer to establish an exercise plan that has prevented recurrences of what was for many years a chronic issue. I was very skeptical of chiropractors before meeting her and have been consistently impressed by her professionalism and dedication to excellent patients care. She is the most careful, thoughtful and intuitive doctor I've seen in any field. She listens intently and provides detailed explanations of her diagnoses and treatment plans. Unlike some chiropractors, it is her goal to ensure her patients can actively participate in their recovery and treatment without being dependent on chiropractic care. I could not recommend any doctor more highly.
My daughter whos 18 has been very ill almost one year. She suffers from abdominal migraines and with this she was throwing up violently every 2 weeks and disabled for 2-3 days afterwards. After seeing Dr alfonsi nearly 2 months she has made a incredible recovery. All the medical doctors couldnt help her naturally. But Dr Alfonsi has given my daughter back her health and her confidence. She has made recommendations for diet and exercise and the combination has been remarkable! we are forever grateful for such a kind hearted and caring doctor. We highly recommend Dr Alfonsi. Shes been our Savior!! And she c
I went to Dr. Alfonsi for a dislocated coccyx. I'm very glad I did! The orthopedist who reviewed my xrays said not to bother with any medical treatment for three months. My primary doctor suggested I give Dr. Alfonsi a try in the meantime. I had never been to a chiropractor before, and was a little nervous. Dr. Alfonsi explained what my injury was, what she was doing each time, and what I could do at home to help the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has always made me feel very comfortable. Not only was I mostly pain free after the first two visits, she has healed my injury without surgery.

For the third year in a row, the very best racers on the planet will be attacking the courses in Old Québec and on Mount Royal at the Québec City and Montréal Grands Prix Cyclistes (GPCQM), the only two North American stops on the UCI WorldTour circuit, on September 7th and 9th. The 2011 races attracted more than 275,000 spectators and were broadcast to more than 75 countries, while generating more than $56 million in direct and indirect economic benefits for Québec.
GPCQM President Serge Arsenault - photo by Pasquale Stalteri, GPCQM
The 2012 edition was introduced this Monday [June 18th] at 11 am (EST) by GPCQM President Serge Arsenault with representatives of the city of Montréal, Québecor, Transat and Kia.
Linda Hézard, with Michel Lucier (owner of Vélo 2000- a LG boutique which will sell the GPCQM/LG line) - photo by Pasquale Stalteri, GPCQM
The Participants
• 168 competitors, representing the 18 ProTeams on the UCI WorldTour circuit, along with three Professional Continental squads invited by the race organizer, will race on the Québec City and Montréal courses in early September.
• The three Professional Continental teams are Team SpiderTech Powered by C10 (the Canadian team with the highest calibre international licence), Team Europcar, and Cofidis.
• Last year, Philippe Gilbert, WorldTour leader, and Portugal's Alberto Rui Costa, won in Québec City and Montréal respectively.
The Course
• The Québec circuit is 12.6 kilometres long, lapped 16 times for a total distance of 201.6 kilometres. It follows the roads of Old Québec and borders the St. Lawrence River.
• The Montréal circuit measures 12.1 kilometres, lapped 17 times for a total distance of 205.7 kilometres. It follows the roads of Mount Royal. The 1974 World Championships, the 1976 Olympic Games and the GP des Amériques from 1988 to 1992 took place there.
• Former world leader and French racer, Charly Mottet is GPCQM'S technical adviser. He will be at the Tour de France from June 30th to July 22nd.
The Challenge Sprint Pro
• The world premiere edition of this innovative event, created by the GPCQM organizer, took place last year and was enthusiastically received by the professional teams, each of which voluntarily entered one racer. It was won by Danish rider Michael Morkov.
• The 2012 edition will be held in Québec City, on Grande Allée, on September 6th.
• The event includes a series of elimination heats of three or four riders over a one-kilometre distance, until the grand finale.
• To round out the field of 24 starters, the 21 professional cyclists will be joined by three Canadian sprinters who will have qualified during the Canadian Road Championships, being held June 21st to 24th at Lac-Mégantic, Québec.
New for 2012
• Our new partnership with the media giant Québecor, which will broadcast the races, will ensure a larger coverage of the events.
• Many facilities, including grandstands, will be implemented on the two courses to offer spectators a privileged view of the races.
• The GPCQM organizers are also launching their very first line of merchandise, in partnership with world-renowned Québec manufacturer Louis Garneau.
• The Government of Canada, the Government of Québec, the City of Québec, the City of Montréal, Tourisme Montréal, Québecor, Kia and Transat.
Serge Arsenault, GPCQM President: "We are pleased to organize the third edition of the GP. Each year, we are making further efforts to enhance the race experience for the thousands of fans who will be attending the events, which stretch over more than 200 kilometres on urban circuits in Québec City and Montréal. The Challenge Sprint offers cycling an innovative concept which has obtained unanimous support. Ensuring a great spectator experience is key to the longevity of a high-profile sports event like this one. With that in mind, we're expanding the experience for everyone who'll be attending the races, through improved hospitality services as well as additional services for the general public. Also, our new partnership with Québecor means viewers in Québec will be able to enjoy large-scale TV coverage of the races, both live and tape- delayed, on TVA and TVA Sports networks."
Renewal of the GPC licence from 2014 through 2017
• Last Friday, the Québec City and Montréal Grands Prix Cyclistes organization had the privilege of submitting to the UCI Professional Cycling Council its application to renew its UCI WorldTour licence, accompanied by the organizers of the Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco, the Clásica Ciclista San Sebastián, the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour of Hangzhou.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. The game between No. 4 Ohio State and Marquette aboard the USS Yorktown at the Carrier Classic on Friday night has been canceled because of unsafe conditions on the court.
Referee John Cahill said they waited about an hour, but the moisture on the court could not be dried. Cahill said it was in the best interest of the teams to cancel the game.
The contest was part of the second Carrier Classic. Earlier in the day, the No. 7 Notre Dame women defeated No. 19 Ohio State 57-51. There was no problem with the court during that game.
The contest raises money for several groups designed to help troops and veterans. It was a showcase for Veterans Day weekend.
Cahill said the decision was made in agreement with both coaches and athletic directors.

Something did not sit well with me upon watching this incredibly well done viral video. Now many more brilliant people than I have critiqued the poor theology that is found in this video that millions are accepting as truth. I don't want to rehash the same. You can read those great critiques here www.theamericanjesus.net and www.thegospelcoalistion.org
But I wanted to do a spoken word response to this incredibly popular video…
First I want to clear,
I call you my brother,
But brother I've got to say,
Your words are not in order.
You claim to hate religion
And Jesus came to save
But what do you think Jesus did
As He lived out all His days?
Jesus was a religious Jew
And lived out Jewish ways.
He did not despise His race,
His heritage or His birth names (Emmanuel, Prince of Peace, Messiah, Christ, Son of David…)
But Jesus did distinguish between
The religious and the liars,
Between the faithful and the poser,
Between His disciples and all the others
When Jesus claimed "It is finished"
He was referring to the law.
He fulfilled what was required
Bringing new life for us all.
And what about the Covenant
Both the Old and New?
You throw it under the bus
Because its religion too.
You trade religion for relationship
but what you don't see
Is a relationship without religion
Can be anything I make it be.
True religion is a call
To love one another,
Help the widows and the orphans,
And call God the Father.
But the that religion you described
Is called hypocrisy
And hypocrisy is not always synonymous
With religiosity.
The religion of Christianity
Is not man's reach for God.
But instead it's God's means
For us to know His Son.
You make some good points
That I will give you.
But to throw away religion
Is a slap to the One who made you!

It is officially and without debate "The Holidays," a time when we will be thoroughly and relentlessly bombarded with advice on how best to enjoy them. Martha Stewart will tell us how to wrap, Paula Deen will tell us what to cook, Jonathan Adler will tell us what colors to best trim our tree and Tim Gunn will tell us what to wear.
It is officially and without debate "The Holidays," a time when we will be thoroughly and relentlessly bombarded with advice on how best to enjoy them. Martha Stewart will tell us how to wrap, Paula Deen will tell us what to cook, Jonathan Adler will tell us what colors to best trim our tree and Tim Gunn will tell us what to wear.
But no one knows how to get more out of the holiday season than my Bella and her pal Donald, two middle-schoolers who have more than a decade of merrymaking under their belt. Here, then, are their tips for a perfect holiday:
Stewart's Eggnog is only around for a little while, so never miss an opportunity to drink it. It's worth noting that many middle-schoolers have discovered its great energy-restoring properties. The right amount is so energizing, in fact, that it could actually be considered a super food. You know, like goji berries. "Jingle Bells" never, ever gets old, and the "Robin Laid an Egg" version is especially classic. The really nice thing about it is it's a tune that can go on and on and on and on forever, even longer than "99 Bottles of Milk on the Wall," making it an especially festive sing-along carol during long road trips. By the time they're in middle school, kids are getting bigger, true, and you might even have access to a little bit of cash to buy your mom a present. But what she really wants from you is another handmade ornament, the kind that you make in class with the year written on back. Trust us on this. Do not forget to elf yourself. Christmas and Hanukkah are gift-getting — ummm, we mean gift-giving — occasions, clearly. But there are plenty of opportunities to give the kid in your life a present. These can include, but are not limited to: Right after the school's winter concert (cause they worked really, really hard and sang their little hearts out), the night you trim the tree ('cause that's a really Christmas-y thing, and presents go great with Christmas,) and on the first day of winter (because Bella and Donald think the Winter Solstice is far too often overlooked, and there's no way to better commemorate a special date than with gifts.) Snow days are great, but they're kinda a waste this time of year, when school is actually pretty fun and you're making projects with glitter and cookies start showing up with an increasing degree of reliability. So absolutely no inside-out pajamas or ice cubes in the toilet until after the New Year. There's a good holiday movie on television almost every day for the rest of the year. So that means you're going to want to get your homework done in academic workshop or maybe on the bus — especially on "Home Alone" night. Face it: Sometimes you're gonna get clothes. Now through winter break is the time to wear all your holiday stuff to school — you know, the socks with the elves, the headband with the antlers, the "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" T-shirt. But take it easy with the twinkle light necklaces. They can be a distraction. And, finally, it's true that as a middle-schooler you might be hesitant to sit on Santa's lap at the mall, especially if the place is crowded and the likelihood of running into one of the Queen Bee girls from school or some of the guys from the bus is increased. But if your parents want a Santa picture, just surrender and sit on the guy's lap.
This is no time to be taking unnecessary chances.

Brian Snell, And His Dream Of A '33 Ford Coupe, Grows Up
Brian Snell already had an interest in old cars at age 16. He liked hot rods and was accumulating a collection of "little pages" magazines full of how-to articles when he found this '33 Ford coupe sitting in a field. That was 47 years ago. He thought he had hit the jackpot when he found the car and liked it so much he made it a keeper.
The car was in fair condition but not running, but Brian quickly paid the $50 purchase price and brought the car home. It wasn't long before the coupe received an oldsmobile V-8 engine, dropped front axle, and juice brakes to become a drivable rod. In 1962, other priorities forced Brian to store the coupe in a barn. He joined the Navy, got married, and built a house-a progression along life's normal paths many in this hobby have traveled.
Brian hauled the car out of storage 20 years later and began a rebuild that would take four years. He has done nearly all of the work on the car, and even now makes frequent changes to keep it current. To kick off the rebuild, he boxed the frame, painted it black, and installed a tubular Super Bell axle with a 4-inch drop with a PoSIeS Super Slide spring. a four-bar suspension and front shocks from Pete & Jake's were added along with Mustang drum brakes. everything but the brakes was given the chrome treatment.
Out back, a chromed Total Cost Involved four-bar suspension combined with aldan coilover shocks suspend the Ford 8-inch rearend. The rolling stock consists of Wheel Vintiques chrome steelies, 15×5 up front and 15×7 in back, dressed up with chrome Spyder center caps that were popular in the '60s. Firestone bias-ply wide whitewalls add to the period appeal, with 560×15 rollers fore and 820×15 aft.
Powering this nostalgic ride is a '71 Chevy 350 small-block assembled by the auto Machine Shop. With the engine bored .030 over, Brian maintained the stock valvetrain and opted for a Speed-Pro cam. Two edelbrock 500 carburetors provide the necessary breathing for this healthy mill and are mounted atop an edelbrock intake. The air cleaners are copies of the popular Stelling & Hellings units and were obtained from So-Cal Speed Shop; Brian had to make some alterations to have them butt together. Edelbrock valve covers were sent to New England Chrome Plating and are but a small part of the engine brightwork.
Headers from California Street rods route unnecessary gases through a 2-inch HPC-coated exhaust system made by Brian, and Stainless Specialties muffl ers provide the appropriate burble for the coupe. Ignition consists of an HeI distributor and Taylor wires, while a Walker radiator called upon a friend to rebuild the Chevy 350 transmission and had Connecticut Drive Shaft shorten a driveshaft from a '65 Ford.
Brian turned his attention to the body and punched several rows of louvers in the rootlieb hood and rear pan- so many that it takes too long to count them all. The top was chopped 3 inches and a Juliano's top insert was added. Brian kept body modifications to a minimum, wanting to maintain many of the original trim pieces to keep the period look. While the stock bumper was kept in front, the rear bumper is a '33 commercial piece. Halogen headlights were added, and Brian decided to keep the original taillights. The grille came from a '34 Ford.
Once the body was completely smoothed, Brian painted the coupe with DuPont Porsche red acrylic lacquer, which really pops when the sun hits it. Insde, he stitched gray velour to cover the '84 Subaru seats, and covered the door panels in matching material. Carpeting also matches the seats, and tinted glass minimizes harsh rays from the sun. The brake and gas pedals were purchased from Big al's Carponents. a leCarra steering wheel tops off a Chevy van column, and VDo instruments were mounted in an aluminum insert from Carriage Works set in the original dashboard. Cruising tunes are provided by a Sony stereo system and are pumped through Kenwood speakers.
The license plate "B" is indicative of the car's Model B heritage. Brian and Donna Snell make their home in Colchester, Connecticut, and enjoy driving the coupe as often as possible. We liked it so much, we chose it for a STreeT roDDer Top 100 award at the Syracuse Nationals.

About Malodorous Intent
Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes proclaimed ... cord cutting "hasn't arrived yet."
So, his plan is to wait until after cord cutting has already "arrived," and then respond to it?
When citing a financial contribution as a reference, should you use the date the deposit was promised, made, or cleared?
From the Apple Insider post on the story, Gelernter says the following:
"That makes me angry personally, not because of the money, but because of the deliberate failure to acknowledge work that we would have made freely available as academics and that companies will not acknowledge because there is so much money involved," he said.
A quick look at "Ga-ga" in Wikipedia pulls up a game that was popular in Latin American in the '70s and that has a championship with 36 countries participating every year.

Choose your room
The vast majority of the rooms are medium in size, whilst the suites are large. All are in fair condition, with one floor only being in good condition. All the bathrooms are also in fair condition. There are many examples of antique wood furnishings, and most rooms have carpeted floors and dark colour schemes. The restaurant is situated on the ground floor and includes an outdoor terrace. The hotel occupies a traditional building dating back to the early 1920s. The lobby is small and traditional in décor, with traditional antique seating and furnishings. It is dark, with low ceilings and a marble reception area. This hotel was, without doubt, one of the grand hotels of Lima and enjoys an excellent position in the very centre of historical downtown Lima. However, it has been left for a long time without major refurbishments and, therefore, it is now in need of a major renovation to bring it back up to the standard it once held. It has excellent examples of antique furnishings, such as the lift which serves the hotel, but it needs to be worked on throughout the hotel. Nevertheless, for budget traveller this is definitely a very good choice.

Create unique cards and scrapbook pages for friends and family when you work with reusable dies and tools. Dies cut neatly every time, giving your projects a finished look. Plus, they help complete your creations in a fraction of the time it would take to cut shapes by hand.
When you use dies to decorate a card, you can choose colors and shapes that are suited to the occasion and the recipient. Cut out red flowers for one person, then switch to pink or yellow paper for someone who likes subtler colors. Use alphabet dies to cut out any name or phrase as the title for a scrapbook page.
Thrifty Crafting
Having a collection of reusable dies means you don't have to worry about running out of basic supplies at the last minute. You can use the same die for card after card, and each one looks different when you using various paper and embellishment options. Most shapes require only a small scrap of paper, so you can use little pieces without cutting into a new sheet. Make the most of expensive, textured papers by cutting small shapes such as stars or hearts.
Dimensional Appearance
Die-cut shapes have a realistic look when you layer them, making a dramatic impact. Use texture plates to create a raised surface and change the project's feel. Add stickers and embellishments to enhance your theme or add a little sparkle.
Quick to Use
Dies cut intricate shapes in minutes, allowing you to assemble a birthday card just before you leave for the party. Steel edges on the dies make a clean cut every time, which gives your handmade projects a professional appearance.

Boy, 4, Who Accidentally Shot Dad 'Doesn't Know That His Father Is Gone'
(PHOENIX) -- A 4-year-old boy who accidentally shot and killed his father still doesn't understand what happened to his dad and is looking for his friend and playmate, the man's mother said.
The accident occurred Friday when Justin Stanfield Thomas, 35, of Phoenix was visiting his former roommate in Prescott Valley, Ariz., with his son, his family said.
Thomas' 4-year-old son, who is currently at home with his mother in Phoenix, still does not understand what happened to his father.
"He doesn't know that his father is gone," the boy's grandmother, Marilyn Andreatta, told ABC News. "He's still waiting to play with him some more."
Thomas took his son with him Friday when he drove from his Phoenix home to pick up his bed from his former roommate in Prescott Valley, his mother.
When they arrived, Thomas' son reportedly found a gun in the home, ABC Phoenix affiliate KNXV-TV reported. The boy accidentally pulled the trigger and shot his father.
Thomas was in critical condition when he was taken to the hospital, where he later died, KNXV-TV reported.
Andreatta, who lives in Tampa, Fla., said her eldest son was a former Green Beret who was stationed in Iraq in 2003 and 2004.
But before he served in the military full time, Thomas did stand-up comedy, Andreatta said.
"He was very gregarious, very outgoing. He had a marvelous sense of humor," she said. "We had a very special relationship. He was my best friend."
Thomas was a father of two. In addition to a 4-year-old boy, he and his girlfriend had a two-month old baby, Andreatta said.
ABC News' calls to the Prescott Valley Police Department were not immediately returned.

Subscribe To Jack Ryan Franchise Potential Killed By Young Audiences? Updates
I've already subscribed
What's that old saying? You can drag a teenager to watch, but you can't make him put down his iPhone? Something like that. Teens control the marketplace, due to having so much disposable income, malleable interests, poor quality control and absolutely no worries about the economy because there will be an atomic winter by the time they're older. It's that sort of thinking that led Paramount to revive the Jack Ryan brand name with this weekend's Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Of course, teens are also fickle, and that means that the film could only muster a weak $18 million over the extended Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.
THR has crunched the numbers and revealed some surprising info. 63% of the audience for the film was over 35, a large faction of older filmgoers that usually don't venture out on opening weekend. Moreover, more than a third of those that took in Shadow Recruit this weekend were over fifty. As far as those fickle teens, only 15% of the crowd was made up of audience members under the age of 25. That means if your usual rowdy Candy Crush-playing, gum-chewing, Molly-popping teenager tried to get a seat before the trailers started, he or she would have been dodging walkers and brushing against varicose veins. That probably significantly affected the film's disappointing 'B' Cinemascore rating.
The project seems to have been trouble from the start. It's been in development for years, switching directors and stars frequently over the years: Sam Raimi was reportedly one of many who turned it down, with his requirement that he work with James Franco in the lead. Multiple title changes also don't bode well for a film's approach. At different times, the film was called, simply, Jack Ryan, though it entered development under the title Moscow. Hiring Kenneth Branagh as director ultimately seemed like one of many attempts to borrow from Marvel, as Branagh had delivered Thor to that studio as a blockbuster hit. This template continued by bringing in Kevin Costner (arguably the marquee draw for this audience -- maybe he should have played Ryan) as CIA agent William Harper, who Paramount hinted could have his own movie, while also appearing in a film centered around fellow Tom Clancy creation John Clark. Shades of Nick Fury.
Shadow Recruit was originally intended for a Christmas Day bow, though Paramount soon found themselves choosing The Wolf Of Wall Street in that slot, relegating the hero to a football-heavy weekend in January. And no one has ever really been sold on Chris Pine as a bankable leading man. He guided the Star Trek films to massive success, but the brand is on the marquee, not his name. He added very little to the appeal of Unstoppable with Denzel Washington, and no one was lining up to see him play a regular dude in People Like Us or This Means War.
Ultimately, the Ryan films have a successful cinematic lineage, but it's a distant one: The Sum of All Fears literally doubled the Shadow Recruit opening almost a dozen years ago, but it's positively ancient history to the young whippersnappers who would have checked this film out. The Tom Clancy and Jack Ryan names have circulated since then, but as airport novels from an earlier time, and when do these pesky teens have time to read when they're busy with their Instagramming and Snapchatting? Paramount hopes that internationally the film can over perform, though right now it's tracking at Jack Reacher levels. At least they still have that AARP audience.

WBU contingent plays leading role in "The Civil War" musical
LUBBOCK – On Saturday, Jan. 12, The Civil War will come to life at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center theatre, thanks in large part
to the talents of Wayland Baptist University professors, students and graduates.
The Civil War, a Tony Award-nominated musical, is a dramatic theatrical presentation that tries to humanize one of the greatest tragedies in American history. The musical examines the Civil War through the lives of soldiers, leaders and families who were affected by it.
Wayland music professor Dr. Debra Flournoy-Buford serves as music director for the performance. In all, 10 Wayland students or graduates and four faculty members are included in the cast and live band. As well as being the musical director, Buford will play the keyboards for the band. Other faculty members in the band include Joe Vandiver on trumpet, Dr. Sandra Mosteller on clarinet, Sharon Mirll on fiddle.
Wayland students in the production include Christion Draper as Frederick Douglass; Kandra Scott as Harriett, assistant to the president; Corey Godfrey as Benjamin, a slave leader; and Artega Wright as Clayton Toler, a slave separated from his wife. Other WBU students participating are Labrina Lang, LaNee Bowser, Braunshea Norris, Tiera Harris, Christopher Kirby, Morgan Switzenberg, and former students Travis Birge and Lauren Willson Snow.
"It has been an incredible experience preparing for this show for our Wayland students," Buford said. "They have really stepped up in displaying their talents and professionalism. The producers and performance directors have been brought to tears in some of the rehearsals, being so moved by the musical performances of our students."
Other cast members include: John Gillas, Clay Childress, Latrice Godfrey, Jonathan Fruge, David Stiggers, Skipper Wood, Annie Nichols, Sarenda Godfrey, Josh Aguirre and Dr. Buford's husband, Chris.
Other musicians involved include Cary Banks and Jerry Brownlow of The Maines Brothers, as well as Justin Lentz, Mike Carraway, Mike Halle and Lonnie Joe Howell.
Written by Frank Wildhorn, Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy, The Civil War draws on letters, diaries and writing of the Civil War. It also includes first-hand accounts from the writings of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and Walt Whitman. The musical is directed by Ronnie Miller and Joshua Aguirre. Tickets ranged from $10-$40 plus fees and can be ordered by www.selectaseatlubbock.com or by calling 806-770-2000.

Southern Maryland's Congressional Representative promises to "change the way things are done in Washington"
WASHINGTON - Majority Leader-Elect Steny H. Hoyer (MD), who represents all of southern Md., made the following remarks today at a press conference with Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi (CA) and Congressman David Obey (D-WI), Chairman-elect of the Appropriations Committee:
"Good morning. Anyone who has attended one of my weekly pen and pad briefings during the last year has probably heard me criticize what I have called the 'Do-Less-Than-Do-Nothing Congress.'
"On paper, there is no dispute that this is true. The fact is that we have not addressed the needs of the American people through legislative action.
"It is only appropriate that the 'Do-Less-Than-Do-Nothing Congress' ends by doing nothing. No minimum wage increase. No immigration reform. No legislation expanding access to health care. We failed to enact the 9/11 commission recommendations. We failed to enact a budget, and Congressional Republicans will boot the remaining nine spending bills into the new year with a continuing resolution.
"The American people sent a message on November 7th. We heard it. And, in the next Congress we are prepared to lead, govern effectively and get results. That is what our 'Six for '06' agenda is all about - and that is what the American people have every right to expect.
"First and foremost, we will change the way things are done in Washington. We will restore civility and integrity to our legislative process, and transparency and accountability to our government. We also will reach across the aisle and seek bipartisan consensus whenever possible. Second, we will work with the president and our Republican colleagues to forge a new direction in Iraq because our strategy is not working. And third, we will address the concerns and issues that affect the lives of working families.
"We are very aware that we have a duty to produce results for the American people. And, we intend to heed the words of John F. Kennedy, who said: 'Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.' We are ready, willing, and committed to do just that."

After reading this article, I have to wonder if it really was a flaw or a purposely made backdoor.
On average Apple takes just 91 days to fix security flaws after they are disclosed, Mr Krebs wrote.
Francisco Amato, the Argentinian security researcher who warned Apple about the problem suggested that "maybe they forgot about it, or it was just on the bottom of their to-do list".

COLUMBUS -- Gov. John Kasich put his pen to good use before leaving town for the holidays, signing more than three dozen bills into law.
The list included a mix of hot button items -- legislation allowing guns stored in vehicles parked in the Statehouse garage, for example -- to a series of law changes aimed at drawing attention to different medical conditions.
Here are a few new state laws set to take effect in the new year:
n SB 130 will require high-volume puppy breeders to register with the state and meet care requirements and other standards.
Application fees will run from $150-$750, depending on the number of dogs sold in a year. Licenses could be denied to individuals convicted of animal cruelty or animal fighting crimes in the past 20 years or revoked if breeders mistreat their animals.
The director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture will be responsible for establishing housing, nutrition, exercise and other care standards for breeders, with inspections annually to ensure those standards are being followed.
n The governor signed Amended Senate Bill 70, which will require convicted arsonists to register with law enforcement, whether they live in Ohio or, for extended stays, visiting from out of state. A new registry of arson offenders will be used in subsequent arson investigations, though the information was exempted from the state's public records laws.
n SB 114 includes a number of provisions related to specialized motor vehicles -- golf carts, scooters, etc. -- generally prohibiting their use on streets or highways with speed limits of more than 35 mpg.
Among other provisions, the bill prohibits motorcycle handlebars from rising "higher than the shoulders of the operator when the operator is seated in the operator's seat or saddle," according to an analysis. "Current law prohibits any motorcycle from being operated on a highway when the handlebars or grips are more than 15 inches higher than the operator's seat or saddle."
n SB 141 allows physicians, chiropractors or physical therapists licensed in another state to provide services to athletic teams they accompany into Ohio for sporting events.
n SB 222 requires rest stops along interstate highways and the Ohio Turnpike to display the U.S. flag, Ohio flag and POW/MIA flag, with a stipulation that purchasers of the flags "to the maximum extent possible" buy banners made in Ohio and the United States.
n HB 278 increases minimum requirements for car insurance, to $25,000 from $12,500 to cover "bodily injury to or death of one person in any one accident," to $50,000 from $25,000 for "bodily injury to or death two or more in any one accident," and to $25,000 from $7,500 for "injury to property of others in any one accident."
n HB 543 requires public schools to train staff in youth suicide awareness and prevention.
n A couple of bills (HB 325 and SB 300) named roads and bridges in honor of military men and women and officers killed in the line of duty. The former included about 40 separate road memorials.
n On the medical front, SB 40 designates November as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Month, SB 135 sets September at Craniofacial Acceptance Month, SB 199 makes Oct. 13 Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, SB 304 designates May as Better Hearing and Speech Month, HB 184 sets March as Multiple System Atrophy Awareness Month, and HB 492 makes May Melanoma and Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month.

Liberty News
Students join 40th year of TRBC Christmas show
|Katie Majors, right, and friend Erin Schroeder are cast members.
Liberty University students have many unique opportunities to give their time and talent to the local community. This year, about 100 students have joined the cast and crew of the Virginia Christmas Spectacular, an annual Broadway-style production presented by the Worship Ministry of Thomas Road Baptist Church. Originally called the Living Christmas Tree, the show has been a Central Virginia tradition for 40 years, drawing crowds of more than 40,000.
The show is currently going into its second weekend (there are eight public performances) and kicked off Dec. 1 with a performance exclusively for Liberty students.
Katie Majors, a graduate assistant with Liberty's Center for Worship, is in five musical numbers.
"I make clothing changes for each; one is 30 seconds — it's pretty frantic," she said.
Majors, originally from Orange County, Calif., said this is her first time in the show and she welcomed the opportunity to serve God in theater. She said she has been impressed with the quality of the show and as a Worship and Music Studies graduate, she feels privileged to have the experience.
"It is high quality — the small details that go into it are much greater than I thought." she said. "I've been very impressed. It feels like you're doing a Broadway musical."
Liberty students are used in all aspects of the production, from acting, singing and dancing, to costuming, backstage, decorating, props, orchestra and multimedia.
The theme of this year's show is "A Thomas Road Christmas Carol" and features the tale of Ebenezer Scruggs and the wild ride he takes in his living room recliner to Christmases past, present and future as he searches for truth. The show boasts 500,000 lights, an original musical score, live orchestra, and cast and choir of more than 350.
Freshman Rachel Osterhus, a Theatre Arts Performance major and cast member, said she loves being part of a show with such a powerful message.
"I believe that theater is such a powerful witnessing tool and can touch peoples' hearts in a way that nothing else can," she said. "It is such a blessing to be able to worship the Lord through dancing and performing on stage, and to be a part of something that so clearly proclaims the Gospel."
The show is a big commitment for students, with a fast-paced schedule of practices that start in September.
But Osterhus said the hard work is well worth it.
"It is a wonderful outlet for creativity and a place to build community in a new setting. It's been such a fun and refreshing outlet for me to grow and be encouraged by the wonderful directors, leaders, and fellow cast members involved in the production."

Long before Oakland (aka "The Town") was a hipster destination teeming with endless cafes offering good quality coffee, there was the North Oakland coffee spot known as Royal Coffee, and in more recent years known as Cole Coffee. In 1987, Royal Coffee, which morphed into Cole Coffee in 2005, first opened on 63rd Street near College Avenue in North Oakland near the Berkeley border. Offering strong, quality, affordable coffee with no pretensions and located just half a block down from La Farine bakery, it immediately built a loyal following. Even the recent era influx of new Oakland cafes similarly offering choices of quality coffees and teas has not affected the College & 63rd Street business one bit. This is because Cole, nee Royal, is as much of a social gathering point as it is a place to buy a good cuppa joe.
When Cole Coffee's owner Michael Murphy purchased the business from Royal Coffee six years ago, changing the name to Cole Coffee at the time, he was already quite familiar with the business and its loyal clientele. "I managed Royal Coffee from 1992 until I puchased the business in 2005," he told me. He recalled how back when he started managing the business that, "Royal only had the 63rd Street location and then opened the cafe in 1995." Cole Coffee is one business split into two locations that are side by side. At the front cafe part (corner of 63rd & College) you can sit down inside or outside and specialty coffees are custom made on drip in front of you. Then the Cole Coffee shop round the corner down a bit on 63rd (with an apartment door entrance separating the two) is where you can buy coffee by the pound to go and cups of the reliably strong roasted and tasty house coffee. About a dozen small round green cafe tables line the outside on 63rd and snake up around onto College.
