Product Review (submitted on March 12, 2013):
Being fairly new to Harney&Sons teas, I ordered only two full 4 oz tins and many samples. Paris was one of the tins I got, simply because of its description and reviews. I'm so happy I took the leap and ordered the tin~! The flavour is unlike any tea I've ever had before. The fruity flavours go so well with the softer caramel notes. I'm a Hong Kong girl, so I usually take my teas with milk. I like my cup of Paris with raw sugar and a dash of milk. Milk with a fruity tea might sound strange; I was a little hesitant about adding milk to my first cup of Paris, but it's really delicious... Sort of like a creamy fruit tart~ I'll definitely be ordering this one again and again...~

Blue Devils still in hunt for play-off spot
As it has so many times in the past, the Blue Devils' season hopes ride on the outcome of tonight's home game with perennial rival Desoto Academy. With undefeated Deer Creek winning the district title outright, the battle is for second place between the Thunderbirds at 4-1 and TA, 3-2. A win this week will propel the Devils into the #2 spot, Head Coach Bryan Burrell said, based on points scored, for and against.
"Desoto is well-coached, and they'll be a quality opponent for us," Burrell said.

It's Draft Day!Prepare to Dominate with Rankings, Systems, 33 Strategies & The Ultimate Cheatsheet.
LATEST PLAYER ALARMS View All
Perrish Cox (ankle) returned to practice Monday.
Cox has had an injury riddled career and it hasn't changed this offseason. Cox is in a position battle at cornerback with Brice McCain. He isn't worth much in IDP leagues as there as a lot of better CB's to pick from.
Brandon Browner was released by the Seahawks on Monday.
Browner's career has taken a turn for the worse over the last few years as he's been the most penalized corner in football over the past two seasons. The Seahawks thought they'd be able to get the Browner back they had before he left for New Orleans. This release might be nail in his coffin in regards to his career.
Head coach Chip Kelly said Colin Kaepernick will play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chargers
With all the controversy surrounding the 49ers QB, the team still needs to get Kaepernick some reps. The 49ers haven't made a decision on who their starter will be come Week 1 just yet, at least to the public. Internally, the decision might have already been made and they're just getting Kaepernick a few more reps to hope he turns things around.
Kendall Wright (hamstring) thinks he'll be able to play in Titans' season opener Sept 11.
Wright re-injured his hamstring strain on Monday during practice which will rule him out for the preseason finale. That's a tough place for him to be as he missed pretty much all of camp with a hamstring strain to begin with and now there are other wideouts that are making cases for the final roster spots. Wright is heading into the season is the likely fourth option on the depth chart and possibly fifth, there is no real reason to take him in drafts.
Brett Gardner is out of the Yankees lineup Monday.
Gardner gets an off day on Monday against Kansas City as Aaron Hicks takes over for him in left field. Gardner is 1-for-9 (.111) against Dillon Gee in his career so he will watch from the bench. He should be back in there on Tuesday.
Justin Turner is out of the Dodgers lineup Monday.
Turner is getting an off day on Monday in Coors Field against Jon Gray. He has been on a bit of a slump of late going 1-for-17 in the last four games. Rob Segedin is manning the hot corner and batting eighth on Monday. Turner should be back in there on Tuesday to take advantage of the good DFS matchup in the Mile-High City.
Alan Ball did not practice Monday.
The veteran corner, who was signed earlier this month, is down with a quad injury according to Head Coach Bruce Arians. There is not much else known in terms of a timeframe or length he'll be out. At 31, muscle injuries in the legs can take a while to come back from and he isn't expected to factor in the higher end of the depth chart anyway. Ball's condition should be updated on Tuesday in all likelihood.
Asdrubal Cabrera is out of the Mets lineup Monday.
Cabrera was forced to leave Sunday's game with his knee injury aggravated in a collision at first base and will now miss Monday's contest. There is no known timeline yet as the severity is still being evaluated. Expect Wilmer Flores to be in the lineup in his place on Monday.

At last! M&S is hitting the right notes: AMANDA PLATELL has long felt Marks had lost touch with stylish over-50s like her. But now she's won over by their Autumn/Winter collection
- Our columnist was given an exclusive peek at new range
- High Street chain has ditched the shapeless frocks and dreary styles
- Realised over-50s want to be sexy and stylish but not slaves to fashion
A few years ago I fell out with a dear friend of three decades standing. It was a sad moment but, if I'm honest, she had become rather boring and frumpy. Our lives were too different. In response to me abandoning her she had something of a mid-life crisis, becoming a sad, flashy fashion victim. Where had my old friend gone?
But yesterday we met again. And I'm happy to say I'm back in love - with M&S.
So what's mended our fractured friendship? Simple: an exclusive peek at the store's Autumn/Winter fashion collection. In short, it was fabulous.
While this combination is far too Eighties and garish to work together, as separates the pieces are great. Team the £35 pink cigarette trousers with a white shirt, the £59 tailored jacket with skinny jeans and the £99 lilac fur coat with almost anything for a hit of glamour.
(Styled with top, £35, bag, £29.50, shoes, £79)
I predict a sell-out on this £85 coat.
It's zingy colour panels demand attention, while the patent belt pulls in the waist. Looks far more Stella McCartney than M&S, and the £45 trousers add a fun colour pop.
(Styled with rollneck, £16, and boots, £85)
They've ditched the shapeless frocks, unforgiving sleeveless dresses, and dreary styles that wouldn't tempt my aged mother. In their place are vibrant colours, beautiful fabrics and forgiving designs.
Let's hope M&S bosses hold their nerve, because with this collection they've finally got it. That we fifty-somethings want to be up-to-date - but not slaves to fashion. That we need a little support and clever tailoring - but we still want to be sexy and stylish. And we want to do all this without breaking the bank.
Where to begin? Perhaps with the fabulous camel and orange coat from the Modernist collection. I never wanted to take it off. The orange stripes down the sides trimmed inches off, especially teamed with the elegant belt which nipped in my waist.
And the slim trousers, which come in orange and black and have neat little zips at the side, are similarly terrific. Not only that, but at £45 they're a third of the price I spent on an almost identical designer pair recently.
I sometimes struggle to find coats that flatter. But from a timeless blue beauty with exquisite shiny buttons that appealed to my inner magpie, or one with a gorgeous grey, blue and pink check, I was tempted to do a runner with the lot.
M&S's 2013 sell-out pink duster coat has been updated for 2014, this time in a pretty pastel check costing £125. The £49.50 loose tweed culottes will suit pear shapes and £39.50 block heel brogues add a feminine touch to an androgynous look.
(Styled with pink top, £99)
Don't be daunted by the strong print on this £45 cotton dress - the clean lines break up your figure for a slimming effect. Pair with bare legs and flat pumps for a relaxed look, or opaque tights and stilettos for formal events.
(Styled with ankle boots, £85)
M&S have even had a good go at making fake fur classy. The boxy faux jacket in camel really won my heart, but I baulked a little at the lilac version. Strictly for 20-somethings, but this was a rare mis-step.
And then I raided their rails of frocks. Sleeves galore! My bingo wings can remain under wraps. I had to be prised away from a gold lace dress with a scalloped hem, but top of the pile was a sublime black evening dress. Its sequined cape shoulders would make Cleopatra drool, and hid the crepey bits you magically acquire at a certain age.
Perhaps hardest of all for women my age is the casual look. Gentle sophistication is what we need - and again, M&S seem to have read our minds. There were long jumpers and wraps for days with the family, and a striking black, white and blue block tunic dress, which could take you from day to night with ease.
This detailed attention extends right down to the shoes. Chunky-heeled knee-length black or brown boots with a stylish ankle strap were so good I'm buying both colours. And I was thrilled that most heels were just three inches high. No teetering in six-inchers - my feet can no longer take the abuse.
Chosen to appeal to M&S's younger customers, this soft grey £45 shift dress is a thigh-skimmer. The Sixties-style pink pea coat, £89, is wearable and sophisticated and the £29.50 bag will look just as good in summer.
(Styled with shoes, £25)
This £59 flared skater dress hits a couple of inches above the knee, a bit short for most. But the wrap coat is a real standout:
the contrasting white cuffs and reversible belt make it look far more than its £129 price tag.
(Styled with ankle boots, £85)
M&S shoes have long had a clever bit of gadgetry called 'Insolia' - insoles which reposition feet, making them more comfortable - but I've never really been tempted before, writing their heels off as too clumpy. Now I have, I see they're a treat for my toes, too.
Thankfully, this new range wasn't all about style. Comfort was a big factor too. Take a slimline leather skirt. If only you were 20 years younger... But M&S have made it work by placing stretch jersey panels down the side. You could do star-jumps in it if you liked.
And their No Peep fastening - with concealed extra buttons at the fullest point of the bust to prevent gaping - has been rolled out to more shirts than ever before.
There were, of course, a few fails. A pair of black leather dungarees that were right out of Camden market and a navy PVC T-shirt a bit too Julian Clary for Middle England.
But M&S's antennae seem to, finally, be back on track. The collection arrives in late August. Race you to the camel and orange coat...

Don't you love meeting remarkable people?
You know, the kind of person that you exchange a few sentences with and immediately know you'll be inspired by. You tell your friends about them later, not sure exactly what it was about them that impressed you so much.
I make an effort to surround myself with this kind of person because I've gained so much from them in the past. Just by living their lives they make me work harder and push myself to achieve more, to be happier, to live a fuller, richer life.
Over the years I've picked up a lot of useful pieces of advice from these people, while at the same time observing and trying to figure out what makes them tick. I've worked to apply many of these same lessons to my own life and have seen very positive changes as a result.
I wrote this book to share some of these tidbits of knowledge with everyone because I firmly believe that if the world has more inspiring, ambitious and remarkable people we'll all be a lot better off.
Download a copy, and share your own advice on how to be remarkable in the comment section below!
A special thanks to John Bardos, Diggy, Kristin Norris, Carol Segrave, Carlos Miceli, Anoush Rima Tatevossian, Amber Rae Lambke, Paul Smith, Christophe Galland, Jenda Michl, Alan Perlman, Sean Ogle, Robert Granholm and JD Bentley for contributing their amazing work to the book! You guys are really remarkable!

Fits all my gym gear (belt, wrist wraps, versa grips, chalk, knee sleeves, etc) comfortably. It feels solid? Not sure if that makes sense but the quality is great not one of those bags that feels like it's going to fall apart in a day or so.

Built between 1877 and 1886, l'Hotel du Parlement is home to the Quebec legislative assembly. The building itself is a great example of Second Empire style architecture, and tours (approx. 30 min) are available daily, free of charge. All you have to do is show up at Door No. 3 (on the left) and go through security check. Tours include a visit of the debate and senate chambers, and will give you lots of historical, political as well as architectural information. After the tour, make sure to walk around the grounds of Parliament Hill where you will be able to see statues of former provincial prime ministers, as well as a beautiful Inuksuk. A nice way to round off your visit to the province's capital!

Eugène-Étienne Taché designed this great building, built in the Second Empire style between 1877 and 1886. It's the meeting place for both houses of Canada's Parliament--the National Assembly and the Legislative Council.
Guided tours take visitors through both chambers, and guides discuss the history and features of this building. Be sure to examine the facade, with its statues of Canada's most distinguished figures. Security is tight, so be patient and have a current photo ID.
Address: 1045 des Parlementaires
Directions: Just outside the city walls, at la Grande Allee and rue Honore Mercier.
Phone: 418-643-7239
Situated on a hill just outside the city walls is the majestic Parliament House. The prime position on the hill lets the Parliament overlook the old city and the St Lawrence river. The building was built to reflect British architecture and is well worth a visit.
The Parliament is known as Place de L'Assemblee-Nationale.
Address: Avenue Honore - Mercier
Directions: Just outside the old city walls, very close to the HiltonQuebec hotel which stands out on the skyline.
Quebec City is the capital of the province of Quebec and therefore houses the provincial parliament. The buildings sit within the walled part of the city on what appears to be the highest point within the walls. This building is where Quebec's polititians debate provincial matters and pass legislation specific to Quebec. I also visited the buildings in the evening and lite up at night the look pretty impressive as well.
If you're here on a weekday, tours of Parlement in English and French are available. We took the French tour, as it was the last of the day, and our only opportunity. The tour is available during normal business hours (9am - 5), and to gain entrance, head to door 3, which is the front, left-corner door. There is a small plaque identifying it as the visitor center.
Like most chambers of legislature, the building is where the elected officials get together and argue their position. The building was designed by architect Eugène-Étienne Taché in the Second Empire style, and was built from 1877 to 1886. With the frontal tower, the building stands at 52 metres or 171 feet in height.
Address: Top of Parliment Hill, on
Directions: Outside the gate on Grand Allee, between Grand Allee and Blvd Rene Levisque
The most prominent building you see when leaving the old town through Porte St. Louis or Porte Kent is the parliament building. Built from 1877 to 1886, the parliament houses Québec's legislative assembly. Apparently, there are free guided tours through the building, but I didn't do them. Instead, I enjoyed looking at the multitude of figures on the facade, most of them showing famous Canadians. Interestingly, there's also a man of first nation origin. The importance that is nowadays given to all matters concerning the first nations can also be seen in an interesting in the gardens before the parliament. A so-called "Inuksuk", a monument dedicated to "the friendship between Québecois and Inuits", is found on the left side of the parliament.
Directions: between Boulevard René Lévesque and Grande Allée, Parliament Hill

With the central tower, the building stands at 52 metres or 171 feet in height. The building was constructed with a Second Empire style of architecture. Twenty-two bronze statues of some of the most prominent figures in Quebec's history gaze out from the facade.

Quebec City is the provincial capital of Quebec Province and as a result there are approximately 40,000 civil servants.
The city is normally a buzz as well with all the local political gossip.
The National Assembly is one of the cities nicest buildings espeically during carnaval as you can see in this picture.
The lights make it beautiful as well. The building also has statued everywhere depicting past leaders.

Québec City is the capital of the province of Québec. The Parliament building is the home of Québec's National Assembly - the head of Québec's provincial government.
Québec is in a unique situation because it's the only province in Canada that recognizes itself as a nation. While every other province will use the adjective "provincial" to describe or name places under its jurisdiction, Québec uses the word, "national", despite that it's not federal or Canada-wide. This sometimes confuses many people, including Canadians. Just remember that in Québec, things described as "national" normally pertain to places within the borders of Québec.
As for visiting, Québec's Parliament Building is a beautiful example of 19th century architecture inspired by the Paris's Louvre. This particular style is unique to North America.
Tours are offered in French and English. Spanish and Italian tours are also available if you reserve ahead. There's also a giftshop if you're like buying souvenirs.
I would suggest a visit here if you're interested in history, architecture, and/or politics. The tour would definitely cover all three. Not only would you get to see inside the building, but you'd get a greater understanding of how Québec's political system functions.
While I didn't have the time to do the tour myself, I'll be sure to make time for it during my next visit.
Directions: Located off Rue René Lévesque, nearby the Plains of Abraham.

The main facade contains staues of Amerinds, explorers, missionaries, soldiers and statesmen, bringing together some of the men and women that have marked the history of Quebec.
At the foot of the central tower is a fountain, home of a sculpture known as the "Nigog Fisherman". Above this figure is the "Indian Family", a sculpture by Louis-Philippe Hebert, first president at the Paris Exposition in 1889
The National Assembly, the seat of democracy in Quebec, is among the oldest parliamentary institutions in North America. Members of the National Assembly gather in the Parliament Building in the heart of Quebec City.
Over a century old, and remarkable for its architecture and decor, this building bears eloquent witness to the history of Quebec.
With its monumental facade, allegorical figures, bronze statues and inscriptions, the Parliament Building pays tribute to history. Under the Province's Coat of Arms, the architect carved the famous motto "Je me souviens" ("I remember"), which seems to encompass the many transformations that have taken place in Quebec's history over the years.

text: Hey guys, I've a used 5 disc carousel CD player that I took off of a friend and have had for less than a year.The model of this player is a Harmon Kardon FL8300. At the time my friend gave it to me he had used it flawlessly for about 5 years. Overall it has been a good CD player to me until recently when the carousel seems to get stuck. The carousel seems to get stuck when you eject it and then try to put it back in the player. It seems to go back in fine after gently pushing it back in and than works flawlessly to eject and re-inject it back in. Right now it is merely an inconvinience but I'm worried about it getting worst. Any ideas what may be causing this? the only thing I could think of would be the fact that my DVD player is stored on top of the CD player but my CD player is much heavier than my DVD player and is IMO more durable to be able to handle a DVD player on it. The problem does not affect playback, thankfully. Any ideas? Thanks.

You can probably tell my age by my handwriting - straight out of the old Palmer method (with a few personal twists). I'm sad that neat cursive is becoming a lost art. My daughter (not Old School cursive) and I have a hand-addressing business called Elegant Scribbles. We don't offer calligraphy, just neat penmanship. Clients love our work.

Extreme Supernova
Take a Spin on Extreme Supernova.
Extreme Supernova is temporarily closed.
It's officially here, the all-new Extreme Supernova! A high- flying, spinning adventure that lifts riders up 50 feet in the air and spins them head-over-heels for a wild, adrenaline-packed adventure. Supernova features impressive heights, astonishing speeds, heart-racing swings, unpredictable spins, and stomach-tightening flips. This new attraction provides an adrenaline rush like no other and you won't be able to tell which way is up in this giant pendulum.
You'll take a seat with 15 other bold riders and load into the giant pendulum-shaped structure. Suspended from the axis above, you'll face outward as the floor drops from below you. You'll first complete several back and forth swings, high and low, elevating up near-vertically before flying through to the other side. The thrill ride plays on your anticipation as you wait for the next pivot that will spin you almost upside down in a gut-wrenching inverted spin. The Extreme Supernova offers fantastic inverted views of the park and Splashwater Kingdom as you hang up in the air and twist nearly upside down.
While the giant arm sways you, you'll also be spinning in circles simultaneously, twisting around and around until you can't see straight. The constant swinging and whirling will deliver maximum G-forces, high-flying sensations, and extreme dizziness.
The Extreme Supernova will sit next to The Comet. Are you ready to take on this all-new spinning ride?

From Carly McCray Photography…You may remember Lindsay + Jake's adorable Wisconsin engagement session (featured on SMP last summer!), when they visited my neck of the woods — the pine forests of Central Wisconsin — from where they call home in Chicago.
They welcomed the new year in style during a quiet evening ceremony at the Grand Geneva Resort on a snowy night, after years of a long-distance relationship between Minnesota and Chicago, and a secret bridge proposal with all of their friends watching.
All of their friends joined them in their NYE celebration, adorned in a soft palette of grays, blush BHLDN bridesmaids dresses, soft greens and gold tones. Sparks flew at a sparkler exit for the books, and the night wouldn't be completely with, of course, a New Year's countdown + celebrating late into the night!

Palm Inc has launched a touchscreen smartphone along with a brand-new WebOS operating system and an "intelligent" cohesive contact management setup Palm calls Synergy.
The Palm Pre will be an EvDO 3G smartphone with a 3.1in 320x480 touchscreen that can recognise gestures as well as individual taps. In contrast to Apple iPhone, it will have a slide-down Qwerty keypad to make text entry easier "rather than a cheesy software keyboard". However, in common with the iPhone, a two-fingered pinch is used to zoom in and out of photos and web pages.
The Pre is slightly curved to make its use as a phone more comfortable than some of the application heavy but bulky handsets with which it will be competing. It weighs a scant 4.8oz and can be used both single-handedly or with two hands for easier text entry. A distinguishing element is that the Pre's touchscreen extends to below the screen area to a 'gesture area' where you can swipe a finger left or right to move forwards or backwards through web pages, emails and music or photo libraries.
The Palm Pre supports 802.11b and g Wi-Fi, has a 3Mp camera with a flash and has an 8GB internal memory. It will have a T1 4350 processor and a built-in GPS receiver with turn-by-turn navigation. This will be provided by Telenav.
It will also have a removable battery - something the iPhone has been criticised for lacking. Other features include Bluetooth v2.1 with stereo headphone support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, micro USB slot and the same hardware on/off button with option to put the handset in flight mode found on the Palm Treo.
The Palm Pre will initially launch exclusively on the US Sprint network. Preorders are being taken at sprint.com, with the handset available from mid-2009.
Introducing the multi-touch smartphone, executive chairman Jon Rubenstein explained that "the next wave is clearly mobile and Palm's DNA is mobile". Rather than the aim being to hook up with the desktop, said Rubenstein, Palm sees the aim of the smartphone to hook up to the cloud (aka the internet) where you can access all your content, wherever it is and all from the palm of your hand.
Palm president and CEO Ed Colligan said that in contrast to PC manufacturers and other consumer electronics companies that also make handsets, Palm thinks in terms of "fingers not buttons and pockets not processors". Palm is touting the Pre as a device on which the operating system and hardware is invisible, with its intuitive and intelligent interface uppermost.
It has an integrated search feature that initially looks for contacts and relevant entries on the phone itself before initiating a Google search for the whole or partial term or characters entered.
Colligan said that when designing its Palm Pilot mobile device, it was to compete with pen and paper "because that's what people were using" and that the same approach to simplifying people's lives via invisible technology continues to be the company's aim.
Palm sees that while consumers have taken to mobile devices such as smartphones, there is still a need for a single, unified device that not only does email, text and instant messaging and calls, but also serves as an MP3 player, digital camera, mass storage device and internet access device. Blogs, status updates, Twitter, Facebook pokes and other social niceties also need to be kept up with.
Smartphones let you browse all your information drawer by drawer, rather than bringing everything together in a single place. This keeps work and leisure separate, but also means you have to go to several locations and launch several applications to complete your work and social affairs. For example, you might go to your Facebook and see what your friends are up to, upload photos and update your status, then check your personal webmail, your Outlook work emails and have an instant message chat with your kids.
Your Outlook, he said, has hardly any pictures, but your Facebook account where all your real friends are has loads - the aim is to bring the two together.
Where you have multiple contact methods for someone, the Pre stores them all in a single contact list and lets you decide on the most appropriate email, IM or mobile phone number to use to contact them - and which of your contact methods is most appropriate for your message to be sent from.
Palm refers to this approach as Synergy, and replicates the setup through its email, IM and phone book, so you don't need to log out of Outlook and in to a Gmail or Hotmail account when you want to send someone an email.
Conversations started in one mode of communication can be continued in another, so you may start off emailing someone, see that they are available via AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and ping them and IM and, finally, text them.
The Palm Pre handset will allow users to do all these things, but without having to constantly open and close applications. The Pre OS supports multitasking, so you can start composing an email, answer a phone call or a query that arrives in your inbox and check information on a web page, without having to save the message as a draft and subsequently return to it.
Refreshingly, the Pre displays notifications, text and IM messages unobtrusively at the bottom of the screen so they don't interfere with the email you're composing or the web page you're browsing. It can also be set to ignore persistent messaging so you can focus on what you're trying to do without interruption.
It is also possible to put personal diary commitments in the background and view only business meetings on the Palm Pre's diary.
Sprint mobile CEO Dan Hesse, who came onstage at the Palm CES keynote announcement to proselytise about the merits of the Pre and his company's mobile network, said his favourite function was that you can take a call, put it on speakerphone while you check your calendar and that of your contacts, check when you're free and issue an invitation to colleagues all while continuing the conversation.
A hardware launcher button brings up an overlay of all available applications, while shortcuts at the bottom of the screen provide access to standard applications such as the phone, web browser and email. The Pre offers view live thumbnail views of what it calls Cards - favourite and recently-visited web pages, photo libraries, task lists and other applications - and to "shuffle" cards about depending on their importance. This means that while applications may not necessarily be running, the current page or item last used in that app is displayed for easy access.
The Pre is based on the new WebOS, an open-source operating system consisting of CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Palm anticipates third party interest in creating applications to run on it - something Apple and RIM have done with notable success on their iPhone and BlackBerry handsets - and says it "is built with developers in mind".
And in both a nod to and a dig at devices from the likes of Apple, Nokia and RIM, Rubenstein said "You need to have a great phone, but that phone needs to be more than one with a bunch of applications bolted on".
As well as scoring a massive hit in the smartphone market with its iPhone, Apple has exceeded expectations with the success of its App Store that allows users to customise their handset by downloading add-on applications developed by third parties.

MANCHESTER (AP) — One day after his resounding victory in the state's Democratic gubernatorial primary, Tom Wolf suggested Wednesday that he will be a better handler of Pennsylvania's burgeoning natural gas industry than the Republican he hopes to unseat, Gov. Tom Corbett.
"I think this could be wonderful thing for Pennsylvania if we do it right," Wolf told reporters on his way into a small restaurant near his hometown of Mount Wolf where he spoke briefly with voters.
Meanwhile, at a Corbett campaign event near his home city of Pittsburgh, Texas Gov. Rick Perry joined the governor in a celebration of the industry.
About 200 supporters, including many natural-gas workers in hard hats, were on hand in Canonsburg as Corbett repeatedly praised the gas drilling boom and said, "I want to see the re-industrialization of Pennsylvania."
Corbett also lobbed some barbs at Wolf.
Wolf "wants to tax this industry more. He wants to grow government," Corbett said, adding that the natural gas industry has boomed during his administration. After decades of minor natural gas production, Pennsylvania has surged to rank second in the nation, behind only Texas.
Wolf emphasized Wednesday that he supports the industry, but with conditions. He advocates a 5 percent severance tax on natural gas extraction, which would generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the state government, and tougher laws to protect people and the environment. Corbett opposes a severance tax on natural gas extraction, saying it would impede the industry's growth.

I got a question from a dear friend of mine and with his permission, I am sharing this with all of you (personal details omitted). Its pretty long, but will bless you if you read it. Let me know what you think.
Question: Loved the music and everything i.e. the arrangements, very great music and I believe you will go far with this. my only thing and I can be very wrong, forgive me, I hear 'Lord' but never 'Jesus' in all the tracks, there is an inference to Him but he is not mentioned. What changes and have great effect on the consumer like myself is Christ and His name being glorified. I know you know who you are singing about but there is something that happens at the mention of His name. Just possibly an uneducated thought.
My Answer: Most of the songs in this album were written during and after a desert phase of my life. The songs are very personal prayers, they were borne out of my own trials and were often written at a time when I was in deep distress in prayer, or just delivered from a trial situation. I never set out to consciously write the lyrics and music, I allowed them to come to me (may sound strange, but that is how it works with me). In that place of prayer and brokenness, there is no pretense, I wrote as I talked to God personally. Towards the end of this period, God gave me a vision to put all these songs together in an album to help people going through similar situations in their walk. They may not appeal to you in your current place with God, but they are specifically for others going through that desert phase, and I have many testimonies from such folks to the glory of God. Truth is, I always call Jesus "Lord" when I pray. That is because, that is who he is to me personally. I was born with a rebellious streak, I did not like conforming to authority in my personal life until I met Jesus. He became my Lord, that is who is is to me and that is how I have always prayed since becoming born again. Thus, you will hear a lot of "Lord" in my music. Even my twi song uses the attribute of God "Ewurade" and not Yesu, because I call Him Ewurade when I pray. I did not set out to exclude the name of Jesus on purpose, but the songs reflect my relationship with Him. Other powerful worship music that use "Lord" instead of Jesus will be "Lord I lift your name on high", "Be still for the presence of the Lord", "Great is the Lord", "He is exalted", "Be thou my vision", "I love you Lord", "Blessed be the name of the Lord", "lift him up" by Ron Kenolly, "Mi Corazon" by Don Moen, "Ah Lord God", "Higher Ground", "Holy Holy Holy". Others don't even mention Lord or Jesus, but are still powerful because they are about Him and God's spirit inhabits His praise. Examples are "He's turned my mourning into dancing" by Ron Kenoly, "Above all" by Paul Baloche and Lenny Leblanc, "As the deer", "As we gather", "Give me oil", "I keep falling in Love with Him", and the timeless "Amazing Grace". My point is the impact of a worship or praise song is not about whether or not the name of Jesus is mentioned in it, but about the thoughts, the yearnings, the prayer that the lyrics convey in general. That said, point well taken. Just know that I have songs written that mention the name of Jesus, just not in this project. Be assured that you will be hearing His name in my music in the future and all these songs are about Him. My next album will have a worship theme and will feature some of these songs. Here are some samples:
Song #1) Jesus, my hearts deepest longing © Ben Sey, 2005
Song # 2) Jesus! © Ben and Abena Sey, 2005
Forgive me for the length of this, but I hope I explained myself without sounding rude or upset, because I honestly am impressed that you payed attention to my lyrics. Thank you.
According to the laws of physics, the greater resistance is what you will face when moving from a stationary state (a.k.a. inertia). In life, a similar law is at play; the most difficult part of achieving your dreams is getting started on it and letting go of your fears and anxieties. God has invested several desires and abilities (talents) in us. These talents were given to us to invest into the well-being of mankind in general. Most of us have recognized these talents, but only a few of us know exactly how to pursue it or make something more out of it other than just a dream. Often times we give up because we focus too much on the final destination rather than the journey to the final destination. We get ourselves overwhelmed with the near impossibility of achieving our dreams, and give up. If you have already done so, it's not too late to salvage it, as long as you have breath in you. Don't give up on your dreams or vision; break it up into smaller, more easily achievable objectives that are all related to the whole. Now develop a plan of action. Attend seminars; teach yourself how to play that instrument if your goal is to be a better musician. My personal example, I had to teach myself to play the guitar and keyboard and to read chord music. This helped me become a better songwriter. I spent several years singing in small groups and choirs to develop my identity/style in singing. Unless you make it on American Idol, this period likely will not happen overnight for you, it may take years, so brace yourself. Before you get started on the plan of action though, consider this; do you have it in you to see the vision come to pass? One of the biggest challenges you will face is whether you have enough determination to withstand the forces that will seek to slow you down, once in motion. This too has its equivalence in the natural laws of physics. Remember that no one sets off on a journey to a distant place without first making sure that they have enough gas to last the trip, or a means to refill at the very least. The Bible gives the analogy of building a house, the lesson being that make sure you have enough building supplies to finish the house you started. In my personal life, I only recently understood why I lingered for so long in the "desert" phase. God took me through the desert for several years, in order to build character in me, and to stir up the hunger and the passion to be successful. Allow God to work on you, as you work on your dreams/vision. Don't lose hope and abandon God in the desert phase of your life, because the desert can make or break you. As Moses led the Israelites through the desert, many lost their faith, became disillusioned and perished in the desert. The message today is, get started on the vision today, don't expect success right away, accept the tests of your faith as they come and let God be your help. Blessings, Ben
I once made a vow never again to sing at social gatherings and secular events. This came from what I perceived was a lack of interest and attitudes that I felt were mocking to my purpose and vision. One particular event comes to mind; it was a multicultural luncheon and I was slated to perform. While I was singing I happened to notice that no one seemed to be paying attention to my music. Everyone seemed happy to chat and be merry while I was left frustrated, thinking what was the point of it all. Luckily for me, I have grown wiser since then. A few days ago, I found myself again in a similar situation, as I sang to colleagues of mine and my bosses at private outdoor social gathering on site. I felt honoured that I was asked to sing, even though they were very much aware I was a Christian artists. This went contrary to the trend of separation of all things to do with Christianity from workplaces, and I appreciated my bosses for asking me to do this. With this in mind, as they ate and chatted, I sang, and I sang with all of my heart, even as they rain commenced, right through the torrent and the thunder. My attitude was different this time, because I saw the opportunity to witness Christ to my colleagues and I was not going to let even the rain stop me. After it was all said and done, I got a song request and feedback that made me feel confident that I had accomplished my goal for the event. No, there was no alter call, nothing to boast about, save for that deep confirmation inside of me, the knowledge that I had sown a seed in some hearts and that ministry had been done. This is what I have learnt from this experience: no opportunity or setting is too small or "not Christian enough" to minister the good news of Christ, and that I should never judge the effectiveness of my work for God by human standards.
Wanted to say that reading this post reminds me of a conviction that I also have, and that is to not enter our band/team into any type of contest which may be dubbed artistic talent or greatest hits or whatever. Of course we remain open to God's direction and will, but for now as we see it, if God was to lets say next week setup a one time offer for the first 1000 replies to get through the gates of heaven, what would we think? There are so many clever commercial ploys and plots out there requiring us to compete and pass through a very narrow set of options and yet God in his awesome generosity, grace and kindness allows and enables us a total lifetime of opportunity to get right with him so that we can enjoy an eternity in His awesome presence, so why do we then limit ourselves to narrow and sometimes pointless competition?
Anyway my point here is that am so glad for what you have shared in this post and how you were willing to put aside your own desires/perspectives to accomodate God's will in your actions. God bless and do hope to share more with you.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you who have shown me incredible support in the last few days since my releases. I have been steadily rising through the charts, but most importantly, I have heard numerous stories of how these songs have been a blessing to you.
This project has been a labour of love. There were several instances along the way when it would have been much easier to quit, but somehow I stayed through with it. I am grateful to God for turning the discouragements into a positive force for me. One thing I am not in this for is money. I could honestly care less for it. I would feel accomplished if everyone of you all could have my music for free and forward them to as many of your friends and acquaintances that may need some encouragement in the faith. That is the reason I started off with the "free for download" offer, for all my songs. To this end, I will still offer my music for free to anyone who cannot afford it, even after the current free download promotion is over. All you will need to do is send me an email with your request, and its yours.
My mission is to bring heartfelt inspired Christian music to the masses, not the commercialized cookie cutter type of music that passes for "Christian" these days.
It is my sincere hope and prayer that you will be blessed as you listen. God bless you.
Yours in Christ, Ben Sey

He relays his life to us chronologically, beginning in his home village. He and some friends took a several day trip to a neighboring village to show off their hip-hop skills at a talent show. Little did they know, that little trip probably saved their lives. For while they were away, the rebel army attacked their home village.
From there, we follow Ishmael and his friends as they try to find their families (all had had to flee the village, literally running for their lives) struggling to meet the barest of necessities. It is a long, dangerous road they walk, and they suffer countless difficulties as they try to find somewhere safe to stay. A tunnel with no light. You really feel the desperation, the loneliness and despair that descended upon this poor little boy. Much of the book is about this time of wandering, going hungry, being ill-met by other villages who suspect these young, homeless friends of being a wandering squad of rebel child-soldiers. They are met with suspicion at best, hostility at worst.
It is actually understandable when Ishmael is manipulated into fighting with the government army. He is finally in a village that feels safe, he is eating, there are soldiers protecting the village, that is until the rebels surround the village, leaving no path for escape. All males (even 6 or 8 year olds) must fight for their lives, or die.
It begins as such, fighting for the "good side," the ones who did not kill his family, and fighting to defend himself.Read more ›
I was struck, and almost disturbed, by the matter-of-fact tone Beah used to describe the atrocities he committed, but his overall linguistic elegance made the descriptions of his travels and the reflections on his life uplifting by the end. How he was able to "rehabilitate" himself after living that surreal life demonstrates his strong sense of self. The book ends somewhat suddenly, but then, Beah's life story is still unfolding at age 26. This is a stark, but beautiful, narrative.
Ishmael Beah was born in Sierra Leone and grew up in a time of relative stability, before open rebellion began. One day he and his close buddies went to a nearby town to enter a music contest. They'd been listening to rap, imitating the poetic lyrics and the dance moves. They had a couple of home-recorded cassette tapes. While they were away, rebels swept into their home village, killing many inhabitants and forcing the rest to flee. Everyone disappeared from Ishmael's home in a few short hours, and he was never again to see most members of his close family. With no preparation, he was cut off from the life he had known and forced, with his companions, to begin a long period of constant flight, near-starvation and terror.
The boys knew that their time was limited. The rebels were recruiting boys to fight, raping the young girls and enslaving the elders. They were stealing all usable items and all food, burning the villages as they left. The army was likewise recruiting boys, after men were slain by rebel forces. Boys so young as to be barely able to carry a weapon were given AK-47s and told to avenge their family's deaths. They were drugged with marijuana and cocaine until their minds were as ragged as their clothes, and sent out to kill.
After living from day to harrowing day, Ishmael was forced to join the army.Read more ›
His direct and unadorned language, and the contrast he draws between his happy childhood and the hellish nightmare of a savage civil war in which he was compelled to commit atrocities, make his narrative truly spellbinding. His account is also a testament to the revivifying power of love, which he found after UNICEF workers saved and helped rehabilitate him.
My only criticism is that this book ends too abruptly, with him leaving Sierra Leone for Guinea. From the book jacket, it is clear that Ishmael Beah accomplished much with his life since leaving Africa. I would like to have read more about his life in the United States. I hope he writes again.
This account of a child at war is sad enough to break your heart, but it is inspiring to know that Ishmael has survived. I hope someday no children will have to fight in wars. Better yet, I hope someday no adults will either.

We called the "Booking and Reservations" number and talked to Zack who was very convincing. We had some questions about the vacations and called the company again, this time talking to Josh. We ended up giving our credit card information and getting a confirmation number with the promise of a E-ticket sent to us.
After waiting a week for the E-ticket I emailed, firstname.lastname@example.com and did receive an E-ticket from Grace R (firstname.lastname@example.com). So far everything looked okay. Last Thursday, Oct. 20, I called the Customer Service number, 888-226-8902, to book our hotel.
The International Destinations website features 4 and 5 star hotels in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Hawaii as being the vacations that they offer. When I called Customer Service to book the Four Seasons in Maui, one of 3 hotels offered in the Hawaiian islands, I was told that none of the featured hotels were available for reservations at this time.
I have contacted the hotels and none of them even do business with this company and state that this is a scam doing business under the names of International Destinations, Cancun Luxury Travel, Sunset Group, Best International Vacations, IRC, and Vacation Bookings.
I have found 3 different scam report websites with complaints about this company going back a couple of years. Do not get involved with these people and if you have gotten scammed contact your credit card company and your states attorney general office.
