Discovery Channel's Antonio Cruz has found a new home following the planned disbanding of the ProTour squad at season's end, with the American joining the BMC Professional Cycling Team. The former UC Pro Criterium Champion has spent the majority of his professional career with the Discovery Channel/US Postal squad, alongside former rider and part team owner Lance Armstrong.
"I would like to thank everyone at Tailwind Sports and CSE for their support over the years," stated Cruz when announcing his new home. "I was deeply saddened to hear that the team and its management structure would be folding. I will greatly miss this cycling family. I have learned so much from Johan and Dirk and will always be grateful for the sporting opportunities that they have given me.
"Now that this chapter in American cycling closes I am ecstatic to be a part of BMC Professional Cycling Team's young and growing program," he added. "I know that we will accomplish great things through the coming years. It is a great feeling to know who my team will be for the next two years. I am calm."
Cruz, who has signed a two year deal with the BMC team, spent 2006 riding for rival American Continental squad Toyota United during a 12 month hiatus from ProTour racing.
"I am extremely pleased to add Tony Cruz to our team roster for 2008 and 2009," said BMC team manager Gavin Chilcott. "Tony brings the caliber and depth to the team that will be critical for the success of the expanded international program that we have designed for the upcoming two years. In addition to being a versatile and effective rider, Tony brings a valuable level of maturity and leadership to the team.
Chilcott went on to hint at further announcements from the squad expected over the coming weeks. "In addition to Tony, a number of other new members of the team's rider roster and staff will be announced during the upcoming weeks," he said. "2008 promises to be an exciting continuation of the BMC program's development as a team. As an organization, we are extremely fortunate for the steadfastness of our sponsors and the long-range perspective of our advisors. Together we look forward making a constructive and meaningful contribution to the future of cycling."

Why Cable TV in Cromwell, KY
If you are considering cable TV in Cromwell, check out a few of the reasons the CableTV.com team enjoys it. For starters, cable keeps you entertained with hundreds of all-digital HD channels, that don't depend on the weather being nice. Cable gives you all your local programming, which not all providers do, in addition to great TV shows, movies and On Demand entertainment. It's easier to install, because there is less equipment than with satellite. Most providers offer free DVRs and Internet bundles, which save their customers an estimated $400 every year. Plus cable is:
Cable TV offersmore HD choices
Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable
Cable can beinstalled virtually anywhere
TV Trends in Cromwell, KY
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
About Cromwell Cable Internet
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Cromwell residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Kentucky grew to 58% by 2010. Enter your zip code to find out more about cable Internet, bundles and providers in Cromwell.

Cromwell Born Actors
He's not just the original Edward; David Boreanaz is currently the FBI's best-dressed agent and Cromwell's favorite federale. Since 2005, David Boreanaz has played FBI special agent Seeley Booth on the hit series "Bones" on the FOX Network. His first acting project was on "Married With Children" in 1993. In 1997, he played Angel, the soulful vampire on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." His popularity resulted in the spinoff "Angel," which aired from 1999-2004, where he continued his fight for salvation along with his elite team of bad guys and ghoul hunters. Watch him at his murder-solving best on FOX with cable TV.
Find Cable TV in Cromwell
You can probably tell now that we know about television like Rebecca Black knows Fridays. We aren't just tooting our own horn when we say we're the place to match you with a cable provider. Local governments license out the opportunity to provide cable service in a region, and these regions typically only allow one provider, so cable companies generally don't overlap in the same area. Call us today to get connected with your Cromwell cable provider.

As a Felton resident who used to take my kids to the Covered Bridge Park and shop in the Felton Fair center, I am really dismayed by the current state of decline those areas are in. I no longer feel safe when shopping in Felton Faire in the middle of the day. Many times when I have been walking by Safeway with my kids, I am aggressively asked for money and have been verbally abused when I did not give it to the person asking for it. My 2 and 4-year-old children have witnessed fights, screaming, swearing, people smoking and drinking at the children's park at 10 in the morning, and people openly using. Now, I drive my kids to Skypark and shop at the stores in Scotts Valley. I want to support stores in Felton, but I simply don't feel safe there anymore. The problem has become significantly worse recently, and a group of volunteers just this weekend discovered that the illegal camps under the Graham Hill bridge that were recently cleaned up are back to polluting our river with used needles, trash, and piles human feces. Although these camps were cleaned up just a few weeks ago, the accumulation of trash and filth was so great that it was impossible for them to haul it all out. Not only is this a terrible environment for all of us to live in, but it is becoming an ecological disaster! These needles and trash are in our parks, rivers, oceans, beaches.... can't we do something about this?

Sure, the Fox Decohead tee looks like your run-of-the-mill tee, but by now you ought to know that looks can be deceiving (especially in a zombie flick). Looking past the sweet vertical and horizontal stripe Foxhead to the fabric of the shirt, you'll find that it's made from Foxtech fabric. Basically, it's a wicked-awesome performance fabric that dries four times faster than plain cotton, keeps your skin up to seven degrees (Fahrenheit) cooler, and guards against odor-causing microbials. Impressive, no?

Good day ladies and gents,
I recently joined the local archery club in my home town (great people and a suprisingly eclectic selection of bows) and they will be hosting a 3d tourney in January (all archers welcome BTW). Having never participated in such an event, I wonder if there are any tips and tricks I should know.
Cheers and happy holidays!

A frontal boundary has also wrapped around the southern portion of the circulation. A recent ASCAT pass revealed a large area of 50-60 kt winds to the southeast of the center. Based on these data, the initial intensity is set at 65 kt. Although some gradual weakening is forecast during the next day or so, the low is expected to remain a large and powerful cyclone over the north Atlantic until it merges with another large low near Iceland in 36 to 48 hours. The cyclone has been moving northeast at more than 40 kt during the past 6 to 12 hours. However, the low is expected to slow down some while it continues on a northeastward heading in deep layer southwesterly flow during the next day or so. The official track forecast lies between the ECMWF and GFS solution and has been coordinated with guidance from the Ocean Prediction Center. This is the last NHC advisory on this system.

Editor's note: A version of this piece first appeared at USAToday.com.
Dear Mitt,
I have awakened on November 7 to learn that your bid for the presidency was unsuccessful. In the midst of the disappointment that I share with you, I want to thank you for devoting years of your life to the wearisome task of running for president. Millions of Americans are grateful to you.
You have been one of my heroes for the past 48 years. I still recall vividly the valiant cross country race you ran at our Cranbrook Homecoming in October of 1964—a race...

Accused Treasure Feamster shooter Leach takes plea deal
SALISBURY — The man accused of pulling the trigger in the death of a 13-year-old girl during an apparent gang shootout in 2007, putting a spotlight on gang violence, accepted a plea deal Tuesday.
Reginald Terrell Leach, 22, entered an Alford plea, which allows a defendant to avoid admitting guilt while acknowledging prosecutors could secure a conviction. He was sentenced to 100 to 129 months in prison.
"I can't take responsibility for doing something I didn't do, but I can take responsibility for my part that actually led up to it," Leach told the Feamster family. "I apologize for my part."
Feamster, a Knox Middle School student, was trying to leave a teen party at the J.C. Price American Legion Post when she was shot.
The party ended after an argument inside turned violent. Several shots were fired outside. Police say Feamster was caught in the crossfire and fatally shot. Officers arrested Leach nearly a week later.
Authorities said the argument at the party started between rival gangs. Witnesses who attended the party said they heard people inside the Legion Post shouting "Eastside" and "Westside."
Feamster's death was met with public outcries to halt gang violence in Salisbury.
Following Leach's remarks, Police Chief Rory Collins told the court the shootout changed the way Salisbury looks at gangs.
"This situation did have a major impact on the community," Collins said. "We have a pretty strong emphasis on gang activity that really began as a result of this scenario."
"I can't imagine a sadder situation," Superior Court Judge W. Erwin Spainhour replied.
After the 2007 shooting, then-Mayor Susan Kluttz hosted a series of "Gang Summits" for residents ready to get involved.
The city also mandated a curfew for children. Area churches also began new summer and after-school programs.
Last fall, Kluttz said Salisbury can still improve.
"We've done a lot, as far as prevention and awareness," Kluttz said. "But I think there's a lot that still needs to be done."
Leach pleaded to felony voluntary manslaughter, felony inciting a riot and felony possession of a firearm by a felon. He will receive credit for the some of the six years spent in jail since the shooting.
The Feamster family did not speak in court Tuesday. They could not be reached for comment afterward.
In the days following the shooting, several other Salisbury residents were charged with related offenses at the party.
Alvin Deon Harrell and Elbert Leon Chambers both served time with in the Corrections' Department for inciting a riot.
Check Wednesday's Salisbury Post for more information.

Velvety black sugar cleanser
Black sugar and charcoal gently exfoliate and absorb excess oils to leave dull, oily or acne-prone skin feeling fresh and matte. Even oily skin can be sensitive, so we've made this one soft and soothing to calm redness and irritation, too. Its rhassoul mud base deep-cleanses to help prevent breakouts while vitamin rich cold-pressed organic avocado oil nourishes skin to leave it soft and lightly hydrated. Use all over for perfectly smooth, bright skin. An angel indeed!
- Ideal for young skin: Dark Angels is lovely for those experiencing excess oil and blemishes.
- Liven up: The gentle exfoliation of black sugar will smooth and brighten up the skin.
- Best used fresh: Our cleanser rolls are preservative-free, so be sure to use it up by the best before date on your pot!

Q:I've been using dark angels for a couple of months and love what it does for my extremely oily skin. I recently moved and had to get back into a routine. I've started using it on a daily basis again but am still pretty stressed in my life. I'm looking for something to pair with it that will help me balance out my skin even when I am stressed. I also try to use mask of magnaminty once a week. I live 2 hours from any store so i can't use a fresh mask which is what I used to buy before when I would get stress acne. Any thoughts?Asked on 9/9/2014 by Brooke

A:My best suggestion based on the information that you have provided would be our Tea Tree Toner which is great to use with a cotton pad after cleansing and remove every trace of dirt and oil from your skin or can be used as a spray over your face anytime it feels sensitive as the tea tree with soothe any redness or irritation. Another product that would be great is our spot treatment: Grease Lightening - this can be used on any acne flare-ups as soon as you notice them and this helps to reduce the problem and soothe the skin. If you are not already doing so, you should be following up your cleanser with a moisturizer and I would suggest you look at either Vanishing Cream (super light and great for clearing problem skin), Enzymion (full of fruit extracts and great for clarifying and balancing the skin) and Imperialis (a little richer than the first two, but fantastic at balancing your skin if you have issues with some areas being oily and some areas being more on the dry side).Answered on 9/11/2014 by Michelle from LUSH Direct
A:I have been using angels on bare skin and ultra bland at night along with dark angels a couple times a week and that balances out my skin perfectly!

Q:I've been using this cleanser for about 2 and a half weeks now, and have been breaking out since. I'm aware of the "purging" period that occurs when you start a new skin regimen, but was wondering if this cleanser is going to work for me. This has made my skin very soft and decreased my oil production extremely! I just want to know if this is going to work for my acne. Is this normal or should I try a different product?Asked on 7/29/2014 by Chloe
2 answers
A:A full skin cycle is about a month, so we usually recommend trying the product out for at least that length of time before deciding if it is right for you. It is absolutely normal to experience breakouts worse than usual in the beginning, as you said, but try to stick it out for a bit longer if you can before making your decision.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I'm not a skin professional by any means, but if you weren't breaking out before and just oily, I'd give it another week and if there is no improvement breakout wise, stop using it. I've been using this cleanser for a year now and never had a breakout issue (save for super stressed and girl time acne). I however, also pair tea tree water with my regimen as well. Lush also has a spot cleanser that I've read on other reviews (on the lush site) that work well with acne prone skin and dark angels, it's called grease lightening. If you aren't ready to throw In the towel just yet... Try that.
Good luck!

2 answers
A:It is definitely appropriate for all skin types, however, it does tend to be very deep cleansing. If your skin is more on the sensitive side, we would suggest using it less frequently than you might if you prefer a rougher exfoliation.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A:Yes! You can use it as an exfoliant and then a different cleanser. It depends on your skin type. Since I have combo skin this works great for me. If you find it too harsh id switch to angels on bare skin..something harsher; ocean salt. I find this to be a great go between.

A:We usually recommend going through your facial regimen at least once per day; however, twice per day is alright, so long as your skin seems to be taking to the products well!

Q:Does this remove makeup?Asked on 5/21/2013 by Shelise from WV
2 answers
A:While Dark Angels will work to draw the impurities out of the skin, it likely wont be as effective in removing makeup. We suggest either Ultrabland or 9-5, which should give you the results you are looking for!Answered on 9/27/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:It is definitely going to remove dirt from your pores, but getting this near the eyes might not be such a good idea. Lush has an all-purpose makeup remover: Ultrabland
If you don't want to use that, here's my method: I use tea tree toner and vanishing cream to help remove leftover mascara after I cleanse my cheeks/chin/forehead/neck. I was always told that using lotion to remove eye makeup is better for the skin around your eyes and doesn't promote wrinkles.Answered on 5/21/2013 by KM from Los Angeles, CAo
Q:Did anybody go through the 'purging process' after using this cleanser? If see how long did it last, and what did it look like?Asked on 5/20/2013 by lawrencb22 from Pleasanton, CA
2 answers
A:In general, whenever you switch cleansers your skin will go through a purging process. A full skin cycle is about three weeks so you can expect to see things even out after the initial couple of weeks. This process can vary greatly from one person to another so it really depends on how you find your skin adjusts to new cleansers. Definitely don't let it discourage you, as it is a completely natural process!Answered on 9/27/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Yes, I had gotten a small sample from the store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When I ran out of this sample my skin broke out like crazy! I now have my own large jar of Dark Angels & I'm hoping to get this all under control once again. Amazing product.

Q:Can this be used as a mask? Does it help clear up acne?Asked on 5/20/2013 by Shelise from WV

Shut the hell up no one cares if u stop reading ...the manga isnt even finished..let the man explain wats happening...some of you guys are acting like that was the last chapter

It's hilarious. Like, I feel at this point even after Kishimoto explains his history, they'll STILL be trying to rationalize him being Izuna or Madara or whoever.

Haha I know right.
Am pretty sure that kishi did the right thing for the storyline
It makes since to put in such a twist. The whole war has played on everyone's emotions so why not make it Obito. Kakashi is strongly tied to him. Who else would know Kakashi and Guy best
what did this thread help with
Agreed. The chapter didn't even reveal that he's Obito. Only that he has Obito's body. He's probably just using Obito's body. I'll probably be a little pissed if he does actually turn out to be Obito, but Obito is (admittedly) at least better than Kagami or Fugaku.

Fathers are just as essential to healthy child development as mothers. Psychology Today explained, "Fatherhood turns out to be a complex and unique phenomenon with huge consequences for the emotional and intellectual growth of children."1
Erik Erikson, a pioneer in the world of child psychology, asserts that a father's love and a mother's love are qualitatively different. Fathers "love more dangerously" because their love is more "expectant, more instrumental" than a mother's love.2 A father brings unique contributions to the job of parenting a child that no one else can replicate. Following are some of the most compelling ways that a father's involvement makes a positive difference in a child's life.
Fathering expert Dr. Kyle Pruett explains that fathers have a distinct style of communication and interaction with children. By eight weeks of age, infants can tell the difference between their mother's and father's interaction with them.
This diversity, in itself, provides children with a broader, richer experience of contrasting relational interactions. Whether they realize it or not, children are learning, by sheer experience, that men and women are different and have different ways of dealing with life, other adults and children. This understanding is critical for their development.
Fathers tickle more, they wrestle, and they throw their children in the air (while mother says . . . "Not so high!"). Fathers chase their children, sometimes as playful, scary "monsters."
Fathering expert John Snarey explains that children who roughhouse with their fathers learn that biting, kicking and other forms of physical violence are not acceptable.3 They learn self-control by being told when "enough is enough" and when to settle down. Girls and boys both learn a healthy balance between timidity and aggression.
Go to any playground and listen to the parents. Who is encouraging kids to swing or climb just a little higher, ride their bike just a little faster, throw just a little harder? Who is encouraging kids to be careful? Mothers protect and dads encourage kids to push the limits.
Either of these parenting styles by themselves can be unhealthy. One can tend toward encouraging risk without consideration of consequences. The other tends to avoid risk, which can fail to build independence and confidence. Together, they help children remain safe while expanding their experiences and increasing their confidence.
A major study showed that when speaking to children, mothers and fathers are different. Mothers will simplify their words and speak on the child's level. Men are not as inclined to modify their language for the child. The mother's way facilitates immediate communication; the father's way challenges the child to expand her vocabulary and linguistic skills — an important building block of academic success.
Educational psychologist Carol Gilligan tells us that fathers stress justice, fairness and duty (based on rules), while mothers stress sympathy, care and help (based on relationships). Fathers tend to observe and enforce rules systematically and sternly, teaching children the consequences of right and wrong. Mothers tend toward grace and sympathy, providing a sense of hopefulness. Again, either of these disciplinary approaches by themselves is not good, but together, they create a healthy, proper balance.
Involved dads help children see that attitudes and behaviors have consequences. For instance, fathers are more likely than mothers to tell their children that if they are not nice to others, kids will not want to play with them. Or, if they don't do well in school, they will not get into a good college or secure a desirable job. Fathers help children prepare for the reality and harshness of the world.
Men and women are different. They eat differently. They dress differently. They cope with life differently. Girls and boys who grow up with a father are more familiar and secure with the curious world of men.
Girls with involved, married fathers are more likely to have healthier relationships with the opposite sex because they learn from their fathers how proper men act toward women. They know which behaviors are inappropriate.
They also have a healthy familiarity with the world of men — they don't wonder how a man's facial stubble feels or what it's like to be hugged by strong arms. This knowledge builds emotional security and safety from the exploitation of predatory males.
Boys who grow up with dads are less likely to be violent. They have their masculinity affirmed and learn from their fathers how to channel their masculinity and strength in positive ways. Fathers help sons understand proper male sexuality, hygiene and behavior in age-appropriate ways. As noted sociologist David Popenoe explains, "Fathers are far more than just 'second adults' in the home. Involved fathers — especially biological fathers — bring positive benefits to their children that no other person is as likely to bring."4
Helping families thrive with the support of friends like you.
I don't know about you, but it's easy for me to think of something good I did as a father and then hang my case on that: "Remember that amazing weekend we went skiing together? That was really fun, wasn't it? Doesn't that prove I'm a good dad?"
That series of questions has a logical answer, though your children may not dare to say it: "Yeah, Dad, that was a great weekend. Where were you the other 51 weekends of the year?"
Research by the National Center for Fathering has helped us find ways to measure how involved dads are in their children's lives. If you want to see how you're doing in this area, here are seven statements to consider. How well do they apply to you?
Even before your child can understand, get used to talking to him or her in a conversational tone. You may discover your toddler will sit in rapt fascination as you describe the details of your work or the intricacies of the zone defense. The point is to help your child grow up thinking, Dad has always talked to me about stuff.
Be patient when your kids ask questions. When they're very young, that may be all they seem to do! At that age they actually think you know all the answers, and you may be tempted to fool them as long as you can. But sometimes kids need to hear you say, "That's a good question. I have no idea what the answer is!" Find out together.
Get comfortable in your kids' world and welcome them into yours. Teach your child early the concept of "riding shotgun with Dad." Be on the lookout for projects you can do together — or simple parts of larger tasks that a child can do with you. Play the time-honored game called "Hand Daddy the Tool."
Too often, family time isn't protected against time requests from others. But you can "make appointments" on your schedule with each of your kids and your wife. If someone wants to claim that time, simply say, "I've already got an appointment then that I can't break." Every family needs some time that's protected.
Who taught you to ride a bike or shoot a basketball? What about flying a kite, changing a tire, driving a stick shift? Make a list of skills you learned as you grew up and decide which ones you'll pass on to your kids. Spread these out over time and keep them age-appropriate. Don't forget to be patient, too.
Being married to a teacher, I can tell you that most dads could be much more involved in their children's education. Do you know the teachers, coaches and administrators who have the biggest impact on your child? Meet them. Compare notes with your wife. It makes a good impression when both parents visit with the teacher.
This seems like a no-brainer, but for too many dads, it's a no-clue. Can you name your child's three closest friends? Where would you start looking if she was suddenly missing? What's his favorite ice cream? What career does your child dream of having when he or she grows up? We need to continuously update our mental profiles of each of our children. We want our children to think, My dad really knows me.
When our children are very young, we usually figure out what makes them laugh. A ticklefest, for instance, may send them (and us) into gales of laughter.
Do everything in your power to keep the laughter and fun in your relationship with your kids. Watch for activities that you and your child like — and enjoy them often. If you don't know yet what you both like, experiment. At the very least, find out what your kids love to do and join them in the fun.
"Daddy, can we build a birdhouse today?" my 7-year-old daughter, Makenah, asked me early one Saturday morning as I was knee-deep in a "honey-do" list. Weeks earlier, I had promised Makenah we would build a birdhouse someday, but now I hesitated, thinking about my never-ending project list. Finally, I decided that "someday" had just arrived.
We spent the afternoon in the garage measuring, cutting and piecing together spare cedar planks. Makenah colored arrows, directing the birds to the food. As we worked, our talk drifted to home schooling.
"Makenah, why do you want to be home-schooled?" I asked.
Her response astounded me. "I just like you guys. I like being home with our family."
Amid the hustle and bustle of our birdhouse project, time stood still. We had just experienced a moment I'll always treasure. Had I not set aside my agenda and taken several hours to build that simple birdhouse, we never would have uncovered that wonderful moment.
Seven weeks later, memories such as this one were all I had left of my family. As we drove home from a relative's wedding one stormy evening, our minivan was caught in a flash flood. The rushing torrent swept me out the driver's side window, and about a half-mile from the highway, I somehow managed to pull myself up the south bank of the flooded creek.
I was the only survivor. My wife of nearly 12 years and all four of our children went home to heaven.
As my grief gushed forth and reporters clamored for a slice of the story, my "life of no regrets" came into the spotlight. I had no regrets because I had cherished my family while they were still alive, devoting generous amounts of time to them each day.
As parents, we all have the best intentions of spending plenty of time with our families. But amid our hectic lives, we notch out 15 minutes of "quality" time because we believe that's all we can squeeze in. We hope to create an unforgettable, treasured moment with our child before moving on to the next task at hand.
But the reality is, we can't plan the treasured moments we long for any more than we can plan a miracle or a Christmas morning snowfall. We all know how fleeting those moments can be — when you are walking down the trail and see a shooting star together; when you are fishing and your child shares his heart; when you are eating at the kitchen table and everyone bursts into laughter.
For these treasured moments to emerge, it takes sizeable chunks of time to foster them. It takes deliberate choices in everyday life: eating meals, walking around the block, going to the store, repairing the house or fixing the car together. These everyday settings naturally give way to remarkable moments.
In the daily details of family life, filled with seemingly mundane events, we can choose to generously share our time with our children and capture those cherished moments.
The kitchen table is a wonderful starting place. Ours had seen so much life: spills, bills, birthdays and holidays, turkeys, cookies, cakes, pizza, ice cream. A kitchen table is a simple object yet such a powerful tool for bonding a family. The mealtime experience can create memories that endure a lifetime.
Taking children on errands and to work also creates precious opportunities. It builds a rapport that paves the way for free-flowing conversation. I took my kids on business trips regularly, and because I did, we savored many priceless moments together.
Despite the perpetual pain of missing my family, I have peace because I cherished them while I could. I built that birdhouse with Makenah — seven weeks before it was too late. We spent quantity time with our children; I have no regrets.
Today, start living a life of no regrets with your family. Make a memory. None of us is guaranteed tomorrow.
Don't expect corporate America to recognize how much fathers are needed at home. The employee's family life isn't a part of the annual report, nor can it be measured on the bottom line.
If you're chalking up a lot of overtime, then here are ways you can jog loose a few more hours at home:
Work smarter. What's your body clock? Are you a morning person? Or do you do your best work at night? If you get more done in the morning, perhaps you should begin working earlier in the day (if your company has flex time). That way you can get off earlier and beat the traffic home, thus saving you even more time.
I do most of my creative work — writing and editing — in the morning because that's when I feel most productive. When the post-lunch doldrums arrive, I turn my attention to less-taxing tasks, such as answering my e-mail and returning phone calls.
Skip going out to lunch. Yes, it's nice to be served a prepared meal, but by the time you're seated, given a menu, order an entree, wait for the food to arrive, eat, ask for the check, make the payment — well, say sayonara to a huge chunk of time. And that doesn't include the minutes lost driving or walking to the restaurant.
If you're working past 6 or 7 p.m. because you lingered over lunch, that's not good stewardship of your time. Bringing your own lunch is cheaper, faster and healthier. If you need a change of scenery during the noon hour, take your lunch to a nearby park or company picnic area.
You also should consider taking a 30-minute lunch. My father, who worked in the construction trade, always had a half hour for lunch. That meant his workday ended at 4:30, which gave him time to coach my Little League team.
Think through any promotion. Does it mean more hours? Will it lead to more travel? Is the money worth it? What would you do if your boss offered you a raise — albeit modest — but said you might have to put in eight hours of overtime? Would you take it? Perhaps the promotion means 10 days of out-of-town travel each month. What would you say?
Live closer to work, or consider relocating to a smaller city. That suggestion is easier said than done, isn't it? For openers, it may be hard to sell a house, and some of us don't want to live in neighborhoods close to work. Or we like where we live: The kids are established in school, and we're active members of a local church.
But living closer to work can be a huge benefit. By cutting your drive time to a manageable 10 to 15 minutes, you might gain another hour or two a day. That's often enough time to see your daughter's soccer game or coach your son's baseball team. You can retrieve up to 10 hours a week. Think about how many family activities you can do with that extra day!
Reserve the weekends for the family. If you let work — the Monday-through-Friday variety — encroach on your weekends, you're headed for misery. Christopher, a salesman for a marketing firm, still puts in 50- and 60-hour weeks, but he's stopped working on weekends. "Saturday and Sunday are for the kids," says Christopher. "They should know that from Friday night to Sunday is family, and that we're going to do something together, whether it's playing baseball, going to Sea World or whatever."
Plan your week. From the beginning of their marriage, Don and his wife, Rhonda, have gone out for a piece of pie and a cup of coffee every Sunday night. Shortly after the waitress clears the plates from the table, Don and Rhonda reach for their personal calendars. For the next hour, they go over their schedules — work, church activities and kids' programs — for the coming week.
Believe God's promises. Gregory used to work 11 and 12 hours a day, but after five years of burning the candle at both ends, his marriage fell apart. When he became a Christian awhile later, Gregory remarried. Inside, he felt different about his reasons for working so much.
"I first read God's promises, then I really started to believe them," he said. "Especially the one where it says that God will provide for all your needs. I thought, OK, Lord, I'll slow down and trust You to bring in enough work so the business can survive. These days, I won't work more than 10 hours a day. I'm not always able to get what I want, but we always have what we need."
Tim Miller stood in the foyer of the White House and looked around. He had reached the pinnacle of his career. As a Secret Service agent since 1991, Tim had recently been temporarily assigned to presidential detail — his childhood dream.
It was October 1994. He had just left the stairs leading to the President's private quarters when he heard a rapid popping sound outside. Then glass began shattering. Immediately, Tim's earphone crackled to life with reports from the uniformed officers outside that someone was attacking the White House. Tim sprinted around the sidewalk outside the fence. The shooting seemed to have stopped, but there was pandemonium on the street in front of the White House. Secret Service officers had a man handcuffed on the ground.
Francisco Martin Duran had remarked to friends that he was going to kill the President. No one took him seriously until he drove to Washington and, surrounded by tourists, opened fire on the President's residence. As he stopped to change magazines, two civilians wrestled him to the ground and held him until uniformed agents arrived to arrest him. Tim took the man into custody and performed the initial interview.
Driving home that evening, Tim replayed the events in his mind. He felt good, and this was right where he wanted to be — taking part in life-and-death matters of national importance, the culmination of his years as a Marine and as a policeman.
Yet he could never dispel the nagging thought that maybe his job wasn't worth it. His wife would be upset that he was late and that he had missed another family dinner.
Tim loved his wife and children dearly, but it seemed that they always got the short end of the deal. Being a Secret Service agent was a lifestyle, so when his career conflicted with his personal life, the job had to take precedence. His family was paying a high price for his success. He worked three out of every four weekends, missed his wedding anniversary while riding camels around the Egyptian pyramids protecting Tipper Gore and missed his daughter's birthday while protecting the President in Hawaii. But his family knew that he loved them, didn't they?
Although the Secret Service has the highest divorce rate of any law enforcement agency, Tim was convinced it would never happen to him and his wife, LaDonna. But a knot formed in his stomach as he remembered her saying a week or two earlier, "Tim, I feel like a single parent."
This comment confused and frustrated him. He should have been enjoying life; he was right where he had always dreamed of being. Instead, the knowledge that he was there at the expense of his wife and kids left a bitter taste in his mouth. And they weren't the ones to blame.
In the months following the shooting, Tim traveled more than ever. His job continued to call him to important tasks and exciting destinations. He stayed in the palace of Saudi Prince Abdullah and protected Israeli Prime Minister Rabin just three weeks before Rabin's assassination.
Then one day, on his way to the White House, Tim heard Dr. Dobson on the radio saying, "Men, if your career is causing you to miss out on your family, you need to pray and ask God to provide you a job where you can be a true husband to your wife and a good father to your children."
Those words represented the final blow to his dilemma. Tim found himself in tears, and he immediately made the decision to find a new job. It wasn't an easy choice. He didn't know what God planned, but his family would no longer sit in second place.
Tim left the Secret Service and became a U.S. Customs agent. His position as a Senior Special Agent in the U.S. Customs Office of Anti-Terrorism gave him the immense responsibility of implementing a nationwide plan to safeguard our country's borders from terrorist infiltration and attack.
He thought that he was making a sacrifice for his family at the time, but it became clear that the choice to put his family ahead of his career was like giving up a fistful of mud for a chest of diamonds. Tim experienced greater blessing than he had ever imagined.
Once Tim was prepared to give up his career, God not only blessed his family but also gave him a job he loved. He now makes a better living and enjoys weekends with his family. Currently, as a Senior Department of Homeland Security Liaison to the FBI, Tim has enormous responsibility helping to safeguard our country.
He wouldn't give anything for the relationships he has built with his family over the last seven years. "My son, Aaron, got married last year," Tim says. "And one of the best moments of my life was the day that he asked if I'd be his best man."

I noticed the Mount Washington Avalanche center has issued an extreme avalanche warning. It should be interesting to see what occurred when the weather clears. There is a potential of some long and destructive slides running into places that haven't had activity in decades.
The snow rangers had an interesting discussion about how the Lion Head Winter Route is becoming increasingly exposed to avalanches as the snow pack deepens.
