3 Introduction At a time when energy costs are spiraling out of control and the price of everything from bread to milk is skyrocketing, we must find ways to reduce our expenditures on fuel and New York State s natural gas wells are an economically viable option. Drilling for natural gas is not new to New York. In 1821, the first gas well was drilled in Fredonia New York and, to date, more than 75,000 oil and natural gas wells have been drilled. Approximately 14,000 of these are still active and have had an excellent track record on environmental compliance and safety standards. The Marcellus Shale is one of the largest natural gas fields in North America, and its scope is expanding. It has the potential to generate a multi-billion-dollar direct impact on the economy, with multiplier effects rippling through virtually all regional industries. In 2002, a U.S. Geological Survey estimated that the Marcellus Shale formation held 30.7 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas a colossal amount for the U.S. considering that the U.S consumes about 23 tcf of natural gas per year, but only produces about 19 tcf. But according to a recent study, which takes into account the technological advances made in the industry from 2002 to the present, the Marcellus formation could hold a volume up as high as 500 tcf more than 16 times the old estimate. A report from the Penn State Workforce Education and Development Initiative estimates that for each $1 billion of royalty income generated by the Marcellus Shale reserves, the State could gain 7,880 jobs this year, and close to 8,000 next year. Currently New York must import 95 percent of its natural gas from other states including the southwest. Now is the time for change. We have an opportunity to supply New York and the rest of America with a proven energy source that is not only clean burning and has a low carbon-content, but is also homegrown and will reduce our reliance on others by giving us our own source of low-cost energy. This tremendous resource will yield new economic development opportunities and create substantial job growth. This is the time to embrace this opportunity, not shy away from it. Brad Gill, Executive Director of the Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York 1
4 Marcellus Shale Overview The Devonian Marcellus Formation (or Marcellus Shale) lies 300 to 6,000 feet below the Allegheny Plateau Region of North America and covers 54,000 square miles, running through Ohio, West Virginia, across Pennsylvania and into New York s Southern Tier. The formation also touches small areas of Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. It gets its name from the original exposed portion of shale (outcropping) found near Marcellus, New York during a geological survey in The shale itself is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that is formed when quartz and clay minerals or mud are compacted by pressure over an extended period of time. Shale has a very compressed layer structure and such low permeability that it releases gas very slowly. Shale is rich in organic material and sufficiently brittle but rigid enough to maintain open fractures. Natural gas found in shale is held in its own natural fractures, pore spaces, and on the surface of the organic material is released over time as the pressure in the shale decreases. The Marcellus shale layer becomes thicker from west to east beginning at about 50 feet in Ohio to more than 100 feet thick in Pennsylvania and New York. Geologists have known about the gas here for years, but the shale has been virtually impossible to permeate until now. Thanks to recent improvements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, and an upturn in the price of natural gas, recovering natural gas in the Marcellus formation has become a viable option.

5 Economic Benefits of the Marcellus Shale Coined America s next super giant in natural gas production, the Marcellus Shale formation is twice the size of the Barnett Shale of Texas, which until recently was regarded as the largest shale formation in the U.S. Research conducted by Pennsylvania State University and the State University of New York at Fredonia suggests that the Marcellus formation may contain more than 500 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas. Utilizing some of the same new drilling technology that has been used in the Barnett Shale, perhaps 10 percent of that gas 50 tcf might be recoverable, maybe more. That volume of natural gas would be enough to meet demand for all of the U.S. for about two years an estimated value of one trillion dollars. The Barnett Shale formation, which stretches from Dallas to west of the city of Fort Worth and covers approximately 5,000 square miles, can be used to forecast the economic benefits that Marcellus Shale formation could yield. To date, the Barnett Shale formation has generated thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars in investments. The field has yielded 2.5 tcf of natural gas, and is widely estimated to contain as much as 30 tcf of natural gas resources. Further, the total effects of Barnett Shale activity (based on year-end 2007 levels) were found to include $8.2 billion in annual output, $2.4 billion in annual retail sales, and 83,823 permanent jobs. This level represents a significant gain from the prior year more than 50% from the estimated impact of almost $5.2 billion in annual output and 55,385 permanent jobs in Based upon this, it is reasonable to predict huge economic benefits for New York if the Marcellus Shale formation is developed.

6 The Facts about Hydraulic Fracturing Application of hydraulic fracturing techniques, to increase oil and gas recovery, is estimated to account for 30 percent of U.S. recoverable oil and gas reserves and has been responsible for the addition of more than 7 billion barrels of oil and 600 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to meet the nation s energy needs. Horizontal Drilling Horizontal drilling is a technique often used to help encourage natural gas production. Unlike traditional vertical drilling techniques, horizontal drilling is more economical, as multiple wells may originate from the same drill pad (the use of which is required under a new law in New York), and has the ability to extract more production from the well. Horizontal drilling provides great access with a smaller footprint on the surface. Multiple horizontal wells from a single drilling pad could drain acres disturbing very little of the natural habitat above. After penetrating the shale, the rock must be hydraulically fractured, or fraced, to maximize the production of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale. A fracture stimulation fluid comprised of fresh water, sand, and additives is injected into the well under high pressure to enhance fractures in the rock and free more gas. These fractures start at the wellbore and extend as much as several hundred feet into the shale. Drill Pad In this technique, drilling begins with a central vertical wellbore descending to just above the Marcellus Shale. At that point, the drill makes a gradual 90 degree turn and drills horizontally for up to 3,000 feet. The first phase of the drilling is designed to protect ground water aquifers. An initial wellbore is drilled well below aquifer levels. Thick steel pipe is then placed in the hole and sealed with cement on the outside of the pipe. With the fresh water zones now protected from invasion, drilling recommences to the deeper zones of interest and when this depth is reached, a second string of steel pipe is run inside the first and additional cement is used to provide a permanent seal. This procedure will now allow for a double wall of steel plus cement protecting the fresh water zones from any chance of contamination. The design for this pipe and integrity of the well exceeds all specifications by regulatory authorities. Marcellus Shale Well is turned horizontal Hyrdofrac Zone Illustration of a horizontal drill structure. The production ratio for horizontal wells versus vertical wells is 3.2 to 1, while the cost ratio of horizontal versus vertical wells is only 2 to 1. 4
7 The Facts about Hydraulic Fracturing The Process of Hydraulic Fracturing The vast majority of the nation s newly drilled natural gas wells do not produce gas at sufficient rates to make a well economically viable. Hydraulic fracturing is a technique used to allow natural gas to move more freely from the rock pores where it is trapped to a producing well so it can be brought to the surface at higher rates. This technique is done by sealing off a portion of the well and fracturing fluids under very high pressure into the isolated portion of the hole. The high pressure fractures the rock and pushes the fractures open. This technology was developed in the late 1940s and has been continuously improved upon since that time. During hydraulic fracturing, fracturing fluids consisting primarily of water and sand are injected into the producing formation under high pressure. Sand, a propping agent, is pumped into the fractures to keep the rock from closing when the pumping pressure is released, allowing the natural gas to migrate from the rock pores to the surface wellbore. Water and sand typically make up 99.5 percent of the liquid phase of fracturing fluids. The remaining.5 percent contains three primary additives: A friction reducer, similar to Canola oil, which thickens the liquid; and a bactericide, like Chlorine used in swimming pools and hot tubs to kill bacteria. The fracture fluid also contains a 0.1 percent portion of a micro emulsion element, a lubricant, similar to those found in personal care products. This additive ensures coating of the formation and effective fracture fluid recovery. 99.4%.5%.1% Sand and Water Additive Mixture Micro Emulsion Water and sand make up the majority of the fracturing fluid mixture while common additives are also used to increase recovery efficiency. 5
8 Minimizing the Environmental Impact Beyond full compliance with all applicable state and federal environmental rules and regulations, IOGA of New York recommends that its members perform extensive supervision and inspections during all phases of operations from surveying, drilling, and pipeline construction through production and final reclamation. all fluids. Cease and desist orders have and will be issued to companies not in compliance with either the SRBC s or DRBC s stringent standards. The SRBC s and DRBC s approval process is a critical step in environmental protection while supporting the development of a potentially viable energy source. Our members have exemplary safety and environmental records and work to ensure that all property and roads are ultimately restored to equivalent or better condition that they were when exploration operations began. Noise and Traffic During the drilling and fracing period, there will be an unavoidable increased flow of traffic, with the potential for dust and noise due to heavy equipment in the area. To minimize the adverse impact to local communities, dirt roads are sprayed with water and calcium to keep dust down. In order to mitigate traffic disruptions, movement schedules are provided to local fire districts, emergency services centers, and traffic departments. Activities are scheduled around school bussing hours and community events whenever possible and on roads that will not be damaged by these temporary conditions. Fresh Water Aquifers Shallow Oil and Gas Zones Surface Casing Cement Intermediate Casing Water Use, Storage and Disposal All natural gas operators currently using or planning to use water to develop natural gas wells in the Marcellus Shale formation in the Susquehanna watershed must have approval from the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC). The same is true in the Delaware River watershed which requires approval from the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC). Both the SRBC and the DRBC make frequent well site inspections, monitor all water withdrawals and handle the disposal of Deep Gas Zones Cement Production Casing The Division of Mineral Resources well casing and cementing regulations provide maximum protection for New York State s fresh water aquifers. 6
9 Regulatory Guidance New York s Oil and Gas Regulatory Program Hydraulic fracturing has been used for decades in New York. In 1963, the State s oil and gas regulatory program was established and has been through two substantial revisions the first in 1981 and the second as recently as Since that time, the program has effectively protected New York s ground water and drinking water sources. This has been accomplished through the administration of this comprehensive program by the State s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) through a permitting program and regulations that mitigate, to the greatest extent possible, any potential environmental impact of drilling and well operation. To protect the environment during and after oil and gas extraction, DEC imposes strict drilling permit requirements that inhibit oil spills, prevent ground water contamination and require proper disposal for all wastes and proper containment of drilling and fracing fluids. Drilling permits also protect groundwater by mandating a casing and cementing program for each well, which prevents the flow of oil, gas or salt water between underground formations. Drilling rules and regulations require setbacks from municipal water wells, surface water bodies and streams. Further, the DEC reviews all oil and gas drilling permits in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) to ensure that the environmental impact of resource extraction will be mitigated to the greatest extent possible. The end result is effective oversight of hydraulic fracturing and ample protection of the State s ground water and drinking water sources. Safe Drinking Water Act Congress enacted the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in By then, hydraulic fracturing had been used for 25 years with no environmental problems. Under the SDWA, states developed extensive underground injection control (UIC) programs to manage liquid wastes and produced waters. These programs addressed injected liquids, including those intended to remain in underground geologic formations however they did not include hydraulic fracturing. In 1980, Congress recognized that many states had their own injection programs in place, so they modified the SDWA to give states the option of gaining federal primacy for existing injection programs based on the demonstrated effectiveness of state oil and gas UIC programs. And even though hydraulic fracturing was not covered under the UIC program, litigation in the 1990s made Congress realize they needed to clarify the hydraulic fracturing issue. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) addressed hydraulic fracturing by preserving the state regulatory system that has worked so effectively for the past half century. EPAct spelled out that the SDWA was not the appropriate law for regulating hydraulic fracturing with one exception. During the previous referenced analysis of environmental risk from hydraulic fracturing, EPA hypothesized that the use of diesel fuel as a solvent in the fracturing process of coalbeds might pose a risk. While no incidents of actual damage were identified, Congress preserved the option for the application of the SDWA for regulation of hydraulic fracturing if diesel fuel was utilized. When the Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC), an association of state regulators, studied the environmental risk of hydraulic fracturing, they found one complaint in the over 10,000 coalbed methane wells reviewed. Subsequently, EPA initiated its own study of coalbed methane hydraulic fracturing environmental risks. EPA released its completed study in June This study confirmed that there are no significant environmental risks from hydraulic fracturing when properly executed. 7

The Third Digital Revolution: From Bits to Atoms
RTI Fellow Program's Distinguished Lecture Series welcomes Neil Gershenfeld
The RTI Fellow Program is pleased to host MIT professor Neil Gershenfeld as part of its 2018 Distinguished Lecture Series. Gershenfeld will discuss what he describes in his recently published book as the "Third Digital Revolution: bringing the programmability of the digital world into the physical world." Please register to attend by April 27, 2018, 12:00 p.m. EST.
Far from being a passing fad, Gershenfeld says the third digital revolution will have an even greater impact on the economy and society than the ones that preceded it, because it's happening out here where we live. Gershenfeld will present a research roadmap leading up to Star Trek–style replicators, and he will describe how digital fabrication is already empowering individuals and communities to produce what they consume, challenging fundamental assumptions about the nature of work and money.
About Mr. Gershenfeld
Neil Gershenfeld is the director of the Center for Bits and Atoms at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and, along with his brothers Alan Gershenfeld and Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, the author of Designing Reality: How to Survive and Thrive in the Third Digital Revolution. His unique laboratory is breaking down boundaries between the digital and physical worlds, from creating molecular quantum computers to virtuosic musical instruments.
Technology from his lab has been seen and used in settings including New York's Museum of Modern Art and rural Indian villages, the White House and the World Economic Forum, inner-city community centers and automobile safety systems, Las Vegas shows and Sami herds. He is the author of numerous technical publications, patents, and books including Fab, When Things Start to Think, The Nature of Mathematical Modeling, and The Physics of Information Technology, and he has been featured in media such as The New York Times, The Economist, NPR, CNN, and PBS. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, has been named one of Scientific American's 50 leaders in science and technology, as one of 40 Modern-Day Leonardos by the Museum of Science and Industry, one of Popular Mechanics' 25 Makers, has been selected as a CNN/Time/Fortune Principal Voice, by Prospect/Foreign Policy as one of the top 100 public intellectuals, and is the founder of a global network of over 1,000 community fab labs.

"The Unfinished Work": Advancing New Strategies in the Struggle for Civil Rights
November 1-2, Friday Center for Continuing Education
Join the UNC Center for Civil Rights, its co-conveners and nation's most talented attorneys, advocates and scholars for a national conference dedicated to the life and career of civil rights pioneer, Julius L. Chambers. This two-day conference will unite practitioners, researchers, policymakers, community activists and students to examine the most promising strategies for pursuing equity and eliminating discrimination in public education, housing, democratic representation, employment and criminal justice. Issues in these areas remain at the forefront of today's civil rights struggle and while new trends in engagement, organizing and advocacy have shifted the ways we challenge racial and socioeconomic segregation and discrimination, the inequalities that these age-old problems create remain largely the same. The solutions to these debilitating issues are not simple, but they are possible to construct.
Join us as we analyze these issues and offer a range of innovative and strategic approaches for: applying the law, pursuing policy change, mobilizing well-informed grassroots activists, and encouraging the scholarly pursuit of public interest-oriented research.

Consensus emerging that law school model 'is not sustainable'
A group of legal educators and leaders meeting at the FutureEd conference hosted by Harvard and New York Law School agree that the focus of law school education must change to be more relevant in light of the changing legal industry. Ideas included making education more internationally focused, relying more heavily on technology, incorporating business and leadership skills, and making law degrees more affordable. Read the full article from the National Law Journal.
New York Times Editorial calls for increased funding for legal services locally and nationally
Traditionally, funding for civil legal services has come from the interest on the escrow accounts that private lawyers hold for clients. As this funding has all but disappeared, and state support has dropped, the availability of legal services has been insufficient to meet the need. Courts, judges and leaders have started a campaign for greater funding. Read the editorial in the New York Times.
Boston group helps homeowners fight foreclosures
A Boston non-profit is helping homeowners stay in their homes, and law students have participated in the fight by going door to door to tell those who are in danger of losing their homes about their legal rights. See the segment from PBS NewsHour.
DA stands by criticism levied against public defenders
After discussing funding differences between the local prosecutor's office and the public defender's office in Colorado, District Attorney Martin Beeson told the Aspen Daily News, "Public defenders are not defenders of the public. They are not serving the public good. They are taxpayer-funded attorneys for criminals." Now, despite criticism, Beeson is standing by his statements. Read more on the article in the Aspen Dailiy News and continuing controversy.

The Irish singer-songwriter's fourth album, the third in as many years, shows no sign of any creative tail off. Initially intended as a five track EP, the songs and ideas kept coming so he kept the tape kept rolling.
Stylistically there's no real departures, the album a meld of Americana, Memphis tinged soul, Celtic roots rock imbued by established influences (Simon, Morrison, Petty, Springsteen, Forbert, Dylan) and songs well balanced between gentle acoustic strums and fuller band arrangements.
Again produced by Neilson Hubbard in Nashville, it's the former that kicks things off with what could well be the album's motto, Whatever Happens Will, an easy rolling Forbertish number that you'll find yourself humming along to from the start. As per its title, Uncomplicated keeps things simple with Evan Hutchings laying down a steady drum beat over which are laid strings and a gradually strengthening guitar while Glover's soulful, slightly nasal croon carries the song along.
One of the album's stand outs, the Pettyish melancholy of Memo, follows with a catchy rhythmic chug, minimal piano notes, mandolin and gospel hued 'woo ah' female backing vocals before, backed by Dan Mitchell on organ, soulful Van-like waltz Do What You Do briefly brings the slower tempo numbers to a halt.
Cranking up the chiming guitars, War To Believe (All This Time) is painted in decidedly early Tom Petty colours though, when the electric guitar break arrives midway you might also hear daubs of The Replacements and Ryan Adams too.
After this, it's back to quieter tones for the gentle country folk ripples of the romantic And Only You And I, a song meant to be danced to under starlit clear skies, sparse heartbreaker No Means Yes (another gem) with Glover's hushed, bruised vocals embraced by just sad churchy organ and acoustic guitar, and soul folk mantra A Thousand Suns with leg slap percussion, reverb guitar and Carey Ott on ukulele. Featuring some muscular guitar chords, Break Away's mid-tempo rootsy rock search for escape ("I can't go fast enough, and I can't get drunk enough") offers an unexpected touch of Roy Orbison as it builds to a soaring climax.
However, he saves the best to last with the haunting Rampart Street. Mining both Springsteen's Nebraska and Dylan's Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues and featuring Tania Elizabeth on violin it's ,the second song he's co-written with Mary Gauthier. Inspired by a teenage shooting in New Orleans, it movingly describes a rain-washed funeral in a lyric about the need for release and grace and is, unquestionably, the finest number he's yet recorded.
The album title refers to the idiom about doing something that makes it impossible for you to go back to the situation you were in before. In recording this album, Glover's set himself an almost impossible task in following it. I have no doubt he's more than up to the challenge. - Net Rhythms

Members of the city's new Water Advisory Board met for the first time Wednesday, three months after being appointed to the board.
Robert Edmonds, director of public works, explained there was no agenda for the meeting and that it was a chance for board members to meet each other and representatives from the El Dorado Water Utilities, whose operations the board will help oversee.
Members include former EWU general manager Glenn Holmes; John Page Sr. of BancorpSouth; Phillip Stone, attorney with Stone & Sawyer, PLLC; Ricky McDiarmid, retired master plumber and business owner/ operator; Billy Green, owner of Pro Styles Barber Shop.
Four of five board members — Stone was unable to attend — gathered in the second conference room of City Hall.
They introduced themselves, offered their assessment of some of the functions at the water utilities, and discussed changes they'd like to see.
Holmes was picked to head up the group and Green as second in command after members randomly selected numbers between one and 10 at the behest of Alderwoman Dianne Hammond.
The board was created after the El Dorado City Council voted in July to dissolve the decades-old El Dorado Water and Sewer Commission.
At the time, city officials cited several issues that drove their decision, including ongoing complaints with the utilities, poor customer service, inefficiency while making repairs and seemingly an unwillingness by the utilities to address complaints.
The council agreed that EWU operations would fall under the management of the Department of Public Works, with the assistance of the advisory board.
In August, Mayor Frank Hash presented the slate of candidates to aldermen for approval, saying that he and Edmonds had sifted through the applications and narrowed down the pool.
In the wake of the change, former EWU general manager Mark Smith resigned, and the city revised some EWU policies, including streamlining the process by which longtime customers in good standing can open new accounts.
Edmonds told the group Wednesday that while the city has heard positive feedback about some changes that have been implemented, there are still many challenges that lie ahead for the utilities, including ongoing efforts to repair and upgrade aging infrastructure.
"The only way we can overcome it is to get after it," Edmonds said.
For instance, he told board members that the utilities is working with the department of public works to price new dissolved air flotation units for the city's two wastewater treatment plants.
"(The existing units) have had it," Edmonds said.
Starting in 2018, the utilities' budget, which had been set and maintained separately from the city's general fund, will be aligned with city budget during the calendar year, instead of the fiscal year.
An effort is also under way to revise the city's employee handbook.
Edmonds said the EWU's employee handbook will be revised accordingly and merged into the city's overall handbook.
"Basically, our handbook and their handbook is the same, except for a few items … there are some specific items regarding water and sewer operators," Edmonds said.
Hammond asked if the advisory board will be involved in the project to amend the handbook, and Edmond said yes.
The group subsequently agreed to meet again at 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 11 to delve into the process of revising the handbook.
Holmes — who retired in 2007 after 45 years of service at the EWU, 20 as general manager — said he would like to see a change inside the EWU office on South Washington.
The office was remodeled years after Holmes retired to improve safety and security, employees and water and sewer commissioners said at the time.
The front counter was taken out and transaction windows installed.
The front office space was further enclosed with the addition of a wall and security door that requires a code to open and proceed to the rear offices.
Former EWU employees reported at the time that people would sometimes wander into the rear office spaces to use the restroom or water fountain or even sit in the employee break room.
Holmes suggested removing the wall and security door.
"It should be open to the public, and if someone wants to talk to a manager, they should be able to," Holmes said.
"The employees need to realize they're public employees, and the public ought to be able to have access to them," he continued.
Several aldermen have made similar statements, saying that the office design created a "cold and uninviting atmosphere" for the public.
"We had a pretty bad public perception. Anything that you see that can make it better, let us know," Edmonds said.
Phyilis Waller, EWU business and administration manager, also suggested that the utilities' website be updated to reflect the changes of the past few months.
"There's a lot of old information on there," she said, adding that Smith typically updated the website.
Waller pointing out that the Arkansas Rural Water Association offers a web maintenance service for an annual fee of $300.
Edmonds said he would also like to see the EWU join a national database to help curtail a problem with customers skipping out on their water bills.
"So, if they move to Crossett, Crossett water won't set them up until they settle up with the El Dorado Water Utilities," Edmonds said.
The group also discussed ongoing and upcoming EWU projects.
Buddy Kinney, interim EWU manager, said a project to move water lines along Arkansas 335/Wyatt Drive in preparation for a highway improvement project that will be done by the state.
The project will focus on the stretch of road between U.S. 82 and Arkansas 7 and will include resurfacing the road, adding shoulders and mitigating a couple of sharp curves along the route.
Kinney said the portion of the EWU's work is done.
The Arkansas Department of Transportation will reimburse the EWU for about 90 percent of the cost of the project, which was bid at $748,405 earlier this year.
Edmonds said the utilities is also going to have to relocate water lines for an upcoming ARDoT project to widen U.S. 82 just west of El Dorado between Wrights Lane and South Arkansas Regional Airport at Goodwin Field.

Hi I'm Kyrie.
I'm a sister and friend. I love theatre and art. I'm a sucker for old movies and a lover of good music. I am a Mormon.
About Me
I am the oldest of six kids, five girls and one boy. I grew up in the east. My family has moved around, but I now claim Pennsylvania as my home. I love coming back there to visit my family when I am not at school. I am a student studying Studio Art and Technical Theater. I plan on getting my masters in Stage Management. I have had the opportunity to stage manage as well as design several shows while at school, and simply I fell in love with back-stage theater. There is a magical quality in theater as elements come together to create something truly wonderful. I love to create. I am always finding something crafty to occupy my time with. Whether it's building chandeliers from recycled items, a new favorite pastime, or creating a wall collage on canvas out of items saved from my latest vacation. Some of my favorite things include: sidewalk chalk, blowing bubbles, night hiking, star gazing, impromptu musical "jam" sessions, old bookstores, journals, vintage boutiques, the smell before a big rain storm, coloring books, comfy sweaters, a good paintbrush, film cameras, acoustic guitars, the color mint, and curling up on the couch with a cup of herbal tea and an old movie, preferably something starring Doris Day or Audrey Hepburn. I love the little things in life, and try to share this love with all of those around me.
Why I am a Mormon
I have been a member my whole life. My parents raised me in the church since birth. I went to church and did all the things that I was supposed to do. It was just what was expected of me. But when I was 14 years old my grandmother died. She was a truly wonderful woman and a good friend to me. I took her death really hard. My whole life I had been taught the gospel and that there is life after death, but I had never taken the chance to decide if I believed it. As I struggled I realized that I had relied upon my parents and their beliefs, and that now was my opportunity to figure out what I believed on my own. I decided to get down on my knees and to pray. As I fumbled to find the words, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and comfort as if my Father in Heaven was wrapping his arms around me. And I knew without a doubt that the church was true and that I would see my grandmother again. Since then there have been trials and moments in my life where I have struggled or doubted, but each and every time I have made it through and found the reassurance I needed from the Lord. I am a member of this church because it has changed my life. I have been so very blessed because of it. I know that I am loved by my Father in Heaven and that I am never alone. I know that I will see my loved ones again. This church means the world to me and I believe that I would be truly lost without it.
How I live my faith
I do my best to show my Heavenly Father that I am willing and doing all I can to follow and keep his commandments. This often means doing little things each day, saying my prayers, reading my scriptures, serving others and making sure that I am always worthy. In my ward I teach the youth the gospel from the scriptures, and am preparing to serve a mission in Washington teaching the gospel for 18 months. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the lord in this way and show him my willingness to obey him.

Imagine if every few weeks you could speak to someone who knows so much about F1 and motorsport that it would make your head hurt. Imagine if that person had been to every F1 Grand Prix since 1988, had friends and contacts in high places, and shared all his opinions with you over a glass of red wine.
This is the experience you can have with the An Aside With Joe podcast. Every few weeks Mr C and Christine Blachford (from Sidepodcast.com) get veteran F1 journalist Joe Saward on the line and chat for an hour or so about some current issues in the sport.
Joe is opinionated, but always well reasoned and very ahead of the curve. You will hear things weeks before they actually happen. Whether it be driver moves, sales of teams, new developments or other gossip his sources are so good that he will almost always turn out to be right.
He is also great to listen to, he has a slightly grumpy Jack Dee style of delivery, but he is clearly passionate about the sport and it's future. His insight into what it takes to be a sports journalist are also amazing, and invaluable for anyone thing of taking this as a career route.
A must for any F1 fan who wants to get deeper into the sport than the TV coverage or F1 Racing magazine may give you.
Download the podcast at the Sidepodcast site here.
(and if you like this podcast consider subscribing to Joe's web magazine GP+, from what I have seen it looks amazing!)

There's really a baby in there!
And finally...the moment we've all been waiting for...
It's a girl!!! We are very excited to add another girl to the family, especially since Lily and this baby will be so close in age (about 20 months). Plus, I don't have to buy any baby clothes! :) However...we have ZERO girl names picked out, so we get to have the fun of doing that! Cross your fingers that we'll be able to agree on at least one!
And here is the video of the ultrasound. I tried to make it interesting for those of you who watch it. I made sure to explain what was going on so you wouldn't get bored...or clueless. There's two videos, and they're both the same, except they have different music. So choose your mood: Video A has slower (not boring) music and Video B is more upbeat. Enjoy!

Congrats Lorna, Johnny, and Lily! Have you thought about continuing with the "L" theme for your female Terry's? Names like Lauren, Laura, Lila, Leah/Lea, Leslie, or Lindsay to go with Lily and Lorna.ReplyDelete
Congrats again,
Anna Bellatorre
Boooo....I was hoping for a boy...But a girl is exciting too!!! Lily will LOVE it!!! It will be like a baby doll for her!ReplyDelete
Congrats! I thought you'd have another girl. My girls are 19 months apart and they are a handful, but they are really starting to enjoy each other.ReplyDelete
That's so cool! The ultra sounds are the best and make it seem more real!ReplyDelete
YAY!!!! Lily is so cute I can't wait to see how cute this next girl is going to be.ReplyDelete
Yay on another baby girl! Can't wait to see more ! Hay, how about a belly shot?ReplyDelete
Yay! That is so exciting! We had a hard time with names for girls too, but you'll find one.ReplyDelete
That's so exciting! Those are some great ultrasounds too!ReplyDelete

Currently while there are other things to consider in purchasing a resting bag, these are the most vital. Having this details alone will assist you to choose the best sleeping bag for a comfy night's rest during your next over night outdoor journey.
I could confess that I have actually had one as well lots of experiences with that and also young boy, that was enough for me recognize that if I desire to truly want to enjoy my trips, finding the perfect resting bag for me is a top priority. The trouble is that when I went to look for my "ideal bag" there was so lots of choices I didn't recognize which bag would function best for me.
Some U.S. companies of backpacking sleeping bags have complied with the European Standard (EN 13537) technique of temperature level screening. Without entering into excessive deepness about exactly how they reach these numbers, generally they check the best sleeping bags under strict standards using a clothed dummy sporting long underwear and also a hat. Sensors on the mannequin document temperature readings.
