ADRIANNA NIKOL WIX in the News
Family worried when she didn't call
Missing woman's boyfriend changed story, police say
SPRINGFIELD — Robertson County sheriff's officials are searching for Jennifer Wix, 22, and her daughter, Adrianna, 2, who were reported missing by their family on Saturday.
Her mother, Kathy Holloway, told authorities that she hasn't heard from or seen her daughter since last Wednesday night when Wix called, upset over an argument she'd had with her live-in boyfriend, William Joseph Benton.
''We just want to hear from her. We wish she would get in contact with us so we would know that she's all right.'' Holloway said.
Wix is very close to her family and is known for staying in constant contact with them.
''This is completely out of character for her not to call anybody in the family,'' said Lisa Robertson, Wix's aunt. ''She calls several times a day and talks to some of us. I knew something was wrong when she didn't call.''
Yesterday Robertson County sheriff's officials were following leads about possible sightings of Wix and her daughter.
So far officials have no evidence of foul play, Lt. Don Bennett said.
Over the weekend sheriff's detectives questioned Benton, Wix's boyfriend, Bennett said.
According to an incident report, Benton, 23, told authorities several stories about the last time he saw his girlfriend.
At first he told authorities that he last saw Wix on Thursday when she left with a friend he didn't know. Then officials say his story changed when he told them that he took Wix and her daughter to an Exxon station and dropped them off at about 9:30 that night.
When asked, he could not recall which Exxon, a sheriff's report said.
His story changed several times more, the report said. He told authorities that Wix left his house at 6681 Owens Chapel Road in a white, four-door Ford Mustang or a white, four-door Chevrolet Camaro.
Benton could not be reached for comment yesterday.
''She tries to be a very caring parent. She could be anywhere because she is so trusting. We are so worried about her,'' said Nick Holloway, Wix's stepfather.
Jennifer Wix's family said she is in the habit of sleeping in and staying up late at night. She has the habit of chewing her nails and is a regular smoker.
She wears glasses sometimes, but mostly only to drive.
She likes to visit Wal-Mart often and has a tribal-designed tattoo on the small of her back.
Anyone with information about the disappearance of Jennifer Wix, 22, of Springfield and her daughter, Adrianna, 2, can contact the Robertson County Sheriff's Department at 615-384-7971.

ADRIANNA NIKOL WIX in the News
Still Missing
Posted: 6/26/2004 5:33:00 PM
Updated: 6/26/2004 5:36:42 PM
By: Alex Cabrero
After 3 months, 21-year old Jennifer Wix and her 2-year old Adrianna are still missing.
Its been three months since a Robertson County mother and daughter were last seen.
Saturday, their family held a benefit carnival.
They wanted to try and have fun, while raising some money to keep the searches going.
21-year old Jennifer Wix and her 2-year old daughter Adrianna were last seen in Cross Plains in March.
Ever since, the family has been looking for her.
They say the nights are still the hardest.
"Patrick from Sponge Bob cartoon is my pillow, and Elmo is my teddy," said Wix's mother Cathy Holloway, "and I know that sounds silly for an adult woman, but it just makes me feel close to them, and I still sleep on my couch because I don't want to miss a knock on the door in the night. I don't want to go in the back of the house and go to sleep."
Officially, the Robertson County Sheriffs Office says there are no signs of foul play, but are following up on any leads.
The family has hired a private detective.
Cathy also wanted to get this message out to her daughter,
"Jennifer, if you can hear me, your family supports you in anything that you choose. All we want to know is you're okay, that you and Adrianna are okay. You can call any friend or family member that you wish. It doesn't have to be a certain person. You don't have to say where you are. You are a grown woman. You can be gone and do what you want to do and we all understand that. But if you're able and you can, call us and let us know that you and Adrianna are okay. Please call and let us know. Your family needs to know that. If they know nothing else, they need to know that. Your sisters and grandparents and everybody miss you, loves you, and supports you. And we can get through anything as a family. We always have, we always will."

no amber alert was ever issued police at the time didnt believe foul play was involved Wix is very close to her family and is known for staying in constant contact with them.
'This is completely out of character for her not to call anybody in the family said Lisa Robertson, Wix's aunt. ''She calls several times a day and talks to some of us. I knew something was wrong when she didn't call.''
Her boyfriend told the family that he and Jenn had argued on Thursday evening and that he took her to the interstate exit nearby, (I-65 N exit 112). He told them that she asked him to leave but he decided to pull across the street and make sure she was meeting someone.
She waited for five or ten minutes and then got into the backseat of a white four door car. He was very vague in the description of the automobile and said he did not see the person in the car or which direction they went.
He stated that Jennifer returned to his home on Friday afternoon, without Adrianna driving the car she had gotten into the night before for her income tax return that was to be in that day. His parents were not home to give her the money so she left and said she would return on Saturday to get it.
It is not known if she returned to get it.. On Saturday, March 27, 2004 when she did not return her family reported Jennifer and Adrianna missing. Jennifer has no car, no money, and did not take any clothes or personal items with her. There is an open police investigation and the detectives suspect no foul play.
Jennifer, 22 years ago today I waited with great expectation to meet the love of my life. You have been my love ever since. The day you came into my life was the most woderful day
You were a joy and have continued to be ever since. This year seems very odd not having you here with me. Where ever you are today please know that you will always be that innocent baby to me that I held 22 short years ago.
I love you sweetheart, Happy Birthday. Mom August 14, 2004 - We have had no word of Jennifer and Adrianna. They are still lost in the world. Please continue to watch for them and pray for their safe return home.
Adrianna was born on January 14, 2002. she has been a blessing since that day. She has short legs, brown hair, and bright blue eyes. She has a birthmark on her thigh.
When she learned to talk she could not pronounce her name, so she named herself Nina. She is very funny and smart, a joy to be around. She is a friendly baby and always smiles.
Adrianna, Mimi loves you sweetheart, be brave, watch over Mommy and hopefully we will see each other again soon. Your Aunt Casey and Aunt Heather miss you badly and say a prayer for you everyday. Everyone sends you big hugs and kisses where ever you are tonight.

Re: Missing Child: ADRIANNA NIKOL WIX
Birthday vigil held by Wix's family
By Gina Mitchell-Colwell
Times Correspondent
Monday marked Jennifer Wix's 22nd birthday, but her family was not celebrating in the festive manner they had hoped to.
In what should have been a remarkable celebration, Wix's family was left to present no gifts, but make only birthday wishes instead. Their wish was for Jennifer and
Adrianna to be safe and come home, as has been their hope since March 24.
Friends and family gathered with other community members at Cross Plains Park to celebrate the missing mother's birthday.
Kathy Holloway, Wix's mother, tried her best to start off the celebration happily by saying,â€We are here to celebrate Jennifer. She would want us to be happy.â€
Wix's family tried to carry-on the best way they knew how. Pictures of Jennifer and little Adrianna lay on a picnic table adorned with a little girl's birthday tablecloth and flowers. There was a bouquet of balloons and ribbons and handmade signs that gave the birthday wishes of "Love, Peace and Safety.â€
"If she were able to be here, she would be,†said Holloway. "She never missed a week before her birthday asking about what I had planned and what I might be buying for her. She would tell me not to buy her clothes because I didn't know exactly what she'd like.â€
Wix's family spent the night remembering all of the wonderful occasions they spent celebrating with Jennifer rather than reliving the nightmare that had haunted them daily since Wix was reported missing in March. They desperately attempted to have one night of happiness "if only but for a minute.â€
Holloway made an impassioned plea to law enforcement to continue searching diligently for her daughter and granddaughter. She pleaded for everyone to "call upon the powers that be in the county and state government to not give up on my babies.â€
"Every 40 seconds in this country, someone goes missing, whether it be a child or a legal adult,†said Holloway who was become an advocate for missing persons since her daughter's disappearance. "Regardless of how old she is or whatever the circumstances are, my daughter and granddaughter are missing and they deserve to be found.â€
There has been a website established at ww.missingwixchildren.homestead.com.
If you have any information about Jennifer and/or Adrianna Wix, please call the Robertson County Sheriff's Department at 384-7971.

Re: Missing Child: ADRIANNA NIKOL WIX
Mother of missing woman asks public to help
Cheryl Tatum
Senior Writer
The family of a missing Robertson County woman made a cry for help from the public yesterday at the White House Police Department.
The last time a family member of Jennifer Wix heard from the 2000 White House High School graduate was Friday, March 26, 2004.
Jennifer, 22, and her 2-year-old daughter, Adrianna, are now among the 1,440 persons nationwide who are listed as missing every day.
In the last five months, Jennifer's Robertson County family has spent most of their waking hours looking for their missing children, posting flyers, handing out buttons, traveling the back roads of Robertson and Sumner counties and even going as far away as Missouri when rumors had to be checked out.
But, Jennifer's mother and Adrianna's grandmother Kathy Casey Holloway, said they can't continue the search alone — they need help.
"We need to broaden our search. We have done what we can as a family. We need to keep the girls in the media, we need to keep their names and faces out there. We simply need help,†Holloway told a group of about 20 who gathered Sunday.
Helping to organize the meeting was Lynda Uldrich, a friend of Holloway's when they were in high school together.
Uldrich said the first time she saw Holloway since high school was when she was being interviewed on television about Jennifer and Adrianna's disappearance.
Since that time she has been one of a group of volunteers trying to help family members cope.
Since Jennifer was listed as missing with the Robertson County Sheriff's Department, Holloway said there have been no leads.
The last time she was seen, according to the Robertson County Sheriff's Department was on Thursday, March 25 in Cross Plains.
Holloway said she talked to her daughter on that Thursday while she was at the home of her boyfriend and his family.
"She was upset, and I offered to come and get her, but she felt she could handle the situation,†Holloway said.
On Friday, Jennifer talked to both her sister and father also indicating a problem. That was the last time anyone from her family has heard from the young woman.
At the time of her disappearance, Holloway said her impression is that the attitude of many people was that her daughter had just run away, and there was no real reason for concern.
"That's just out of character for her,†Holloway said. "She spoke to a family member on a daily basis and now no one has heard from her in five months.â€
In fact, Holloway said Jennifer is dependent on family members for everything from running errands to being a sounding board.
"You don't go from being that dependent to being independent with no contact in one day,†her mother said.
What the family is asking for is volunteers to scour Robertson County and a 20-mile radius around Jennifer's home county and make sure her picture and Adrianna's are everywhere.
"Our goal is to make Robertson County and the 20-mile radius a big pie and to cut that pie into sections,†said Jennifer's sister and Adrianna's aunt, Lisa Robertson.
For each one of those pie sections Robertson wants a team leader with volunteers to talk to their neighbors and post flyers.
"We want to make sure there is a flyer in every window, everywhere that it is legal to post them. We want people who are dedicated to making sure these children do not fall through the cracks,†she said.
"People don't disappear,†Robertson added. "They don't vanish. Dead or alive every missing person is somewhere and they deserve to be found.â€
Statistics show every 40 seconds someone goes missing, said Shelley Brown, a family friend and the head of the Child Seek Network in this area.
"That's 1,440 persons a day. And while most are found quickly, some are not,†Brown said.
While the Amber alert has been a godsend when it is used, Brown said the criteria for an Amber alert hurts the search for some missing persons.
"If you don't meet the criteria, you are simply missing,†Brown said.
Jennifer and Adrianna's family said they will continue to search for their loved ones — and they hope others will join the effort.
Persons wanting information and contact numbers to help in the search for Jennifer and Adrianna can go to the Web site:
Contributions to help fund the search may be made to the Bank of America, Kathy Casey Holloway Missing Wix Children Fund.
"I'm trying to be a mother, a wife, an employee and a detective. I just can't do it alone,†Holloway said.

Search Continues For Missing Mom, Child
Posted: 10/7/2004 6:20:00 PM
Updated: 10/7/2004 6:35:06 PM
Six months later, the search continues for a missing Robertson County woman and her 2-year-old daughter.
Robertson County sheriff officials searched the area for Jennifer Wix, 21, and responded to hundreds of leads.
On March 26, Wix and her child disappeared from the Springfield area.
"It's hard to admit but after six months I feel like foul play could have happened,†said Kathy Holloway, Wix's mother.
Robertson County Sheriff's Department Lt. Don Bennett said, "All the evidence in the case we've gathered and all the interviews, which have been hundreds, that we've conducted there is simply no indication that foul play is involved. All indications say Jennifer took her daughter and left on her own free will.â€
Detectives said they have not completely ruled out foul play and they continue to investigate the case every day.
Anyone with information in the case should call police at (931) 384-7971.

Re: Missing Child: ADRIANNA NIKOL WIX
A message from the family:
Hi Everyone,
Well, Christmas Eve, will be nine long months that Jennifer and Adrianna have been gone. I can't say that things are any better than they were on March 25, 2004 when I first discovered that the girls were missing. It seems that it just gets harder with each passing day. The Holidays are particularly difficult for my entire family. We have but one Christmas Wish and that is, to find Jennifer and Adrianna. It will help our family tremendously for you to join us in a candlelight vigil remembering the girls in this Christmas season. One of the things that is so difficult to deal with is the fear that everyone will just forget about them. I cannot let that happen. Please join me in not only remembering them but praying for an end to this nightmare. They deserve to be remembered as everyone goes about the usual Holiday festivities.
We are having a vigil on Tuesday night, December 14th at 7:00 p.m. at the Owens Chapel Methodist Church, this is across the road from where the girls were last seen and is a fitting place for them to be remembered. I am asking for the gift of your presence, please come if you can and please pass this message along to everyone on your contact list, the public is most definitely invited.
If anyone needs directions please call or write.
Happy Holidays to you and your family, Be Safe
Kathy Holloway
Mother and Grandmother of Jennifer and Adrianna Wix

Re: Missing Child: ADRIANNA NIKOL WIX
Family, friends pray for a Christmas miracle
by Gina Mitchell-Colwell
Times Correspondent
Adrianna and Jennifer Wix have been missing since March 24, 2004.
Christmas is the most wonderful season of all. It is the season of perpetual hope and miracles and for Jennifer Wix's family, a Christmas miracle would be the most wonderful gift of all.
Christmas Eve will mark exactly nine months to the day since anyone saw or heard from Jennifer or her little two-year-old daughter, Adrianna.
In hopes of a Christmas miracle, the Wix family, along with other family and friends gathered at the Owens Chapel United Methodist Church last Tuesday night to "pray for a miracle.â€
"If God can lead Mary and Joseph safely to Bethlehem for such a miraculous birth, I have to believe that God has the power to lead my girls home,†said Kathy Holloway, Jennifer's mother, during the candlelight service in the frigid temperatures. "I also have to believe that, if for whatever reason my girls can't make it safely back home to be with us, God will send us some answers as to where they are and put an end to this nightmare. That is all I want for Christmas.â€
The vigil was held just across the street and down from the place where Jennifer was last seen.
"I just felt like I wanted to be as close to her as I possibly and physically could,†Holloway said through tears. "This is the best I can do since this is the last recorded place anybody saw her.â€
Jennifer and Adrianna were reportedly last seen Wednesday, March 24. Lt. Don Bennett with the Sheriff's Office has repeatedly stated that there is no evidence of foul play in the case but that he is following up on any leads that surface.
Bennett is currently looking into a lead involving Jennifer, but he says he cannot verify anything at this point.
"I don't have enough information yet that I can confirm,†he said Monday.
The group held candles of hope that struggled to stay lit as the freezing wind blew with its icy chill on those who sang and prayed. There were carols sung and even a book that could be signed to tell the family, and Jennifer, how much they were loved.
Personal friends of Jennifer's family, Faye Partee and Billy Pugh, led the gathering in songs. Although the gathering in the strong north wind was small, it sounded like a group of angels as all who were there prayed with the belief that there is strength in numbers and hoping against hope that their prayers would bring Jennifer and little Adrianna walking straight through the crowd.
There would be no better gift that this family could receive than to know what has happened to the girls.
"I just can't stand the thoughts of not knowing where they are,†said Holloway. "My biggest fear is that everyone will just forget them, but my girls are still out there somewhere and our family has to have closure to this ordeal. If is not meant for them to come home to us, we at least need to know where they are.â€
If you have any information at all that would help to give this family the Christmas miracle they are seeking, please call the Robertson County Sheriff's Department at 384-7971. There is a $15,000 reward offered for information leading to Jennifer's and Adrianna's safe return or location.

A Project Jason Press Release
You would move Heaven and Earth to find them: A vibrant young mother and her precious daughter whose beaming smiles and sparkling eyes, so full of life, demand your attention. The caption above their photo simply states: MISSING.
They are Jennifer and Adrianna Wix, of Cross Plains, TN, missing since March 24, 2004.
It is not such a simple matter for her family and friends, who are doing everything they can to find her, as their hearts are breaking as they fear for the well-being and safety of Jennifer and Adrianna.
Strangers across the country are helping the family in many ways, and now some of the country's best natural networkers, truck drivers, are going to help move Heaven and Earth to find the young woman and her daughter by their participation in the 18 Wheel Angels program.
18 Wheel Angels is a national missing person's locator program spearheaded by nonprofit organization Project Jason. The program enlists the aid of truck drivers and business travelers to place posters of missing persons along their routes as they travel across the country. A different missing person is featured every 2 weeks. Participants are asked to go to the 18 Wheel Angels link on the Project Jason website at Project Jason - Assistance for families of the missing, and to then download and print as many posters as they can place. Anyone can participate.
Jennifer and Adrianna's campaign began on January 1st and will run through January 15th.
JB Scott Publishing of Anniston, AL, is also helping by publishing Jennifer and Adrianna's information and photo in the January issue of their publication "Through the Gearsâ€, which can be picked up free of charge at many truck stops nationwide.
A reprint of the page can be seen here:
In addition to the 18 Wheel Angels campaign, Project Jason had added Jennifer and Adrianna to their Adopt a Missing Person program. Their family sent buttons to the organization to have available for people across the country to mail in and request. The compassionate person who adopts the girls will also be mailed an info card, which contains a bio and personal information about Jennifer and Adrianna. Whoever adopts them will wear their button and share their story with others. As awareness is key in missing person's cases, it is important for their faces to be seen so that they can be found and reunited with their family.
Project Jason was founded by Kelly Jolkowski, mother of missing Omaha, NE youth Jason Jolkowski. The all volunteer group's mission is to create and increase public awareness of missing people through a variety of outreach and educational activities. Project Jason seeks to bring hope and assistance to families of the missing by providing resources and support.
About the Case:
Jennifer and Adrianna Wix were last seen by Jennifer's boyfriend on Friday, March 26, 2004, in Springfield, TN. Since that date, family and friends have not heard from her. Jennifer had no car, no money and did not take any personal belongings, and is also on medication. There have been no solid leads in the case. There is a $15,000 reward for their safe return.
For additional information about the 18 Wheel Angels or the Adopt a Missing Person program, and Project Jason, please see the website at Project Jason - Assistance for families of the missing, or contact President and Founder, Kelly Jolkowski, at 402-932-0095. You may also email

Re: Missing Child: ADRIANNA NIKOL WIX
The latest from the family:
"No news on Jennifer and Adrianna. The NOMEC mailer that went out pretty much nation wide has brought in quiet a few possible sightings, but none that have led to anything positive. Mostly either look alikes or tips that cannot be followed up on.
This past Sunday evening, myself and several family members put a sign up near the location they were last seen. Our hopes are that if anyone in that small community knows anything at all that seeing their faces everyday as they come and go will convince them that they need to do the right thing.
Lamar Advertising has donated a 48' billboard to the girls and it will go up in the next couple of weeks. A heartfelt thank you to the good people at Lamar for their generosity.
We are currently doing a petition locally that at some point I will present to our Governor, District Attorney General and Sheriff Gene Bollinger asking them to ask for assistance from TBI.
Our family is planning a public gathering in Springfield, TN on March 26th to remember Jennifer and Adrianna and to make sure that no one forgets that they are missing and loved and that we will not give up our search for answers. We will have a balloon release and carry signs asking for help from the officials and the public. We will have personal ID kits and hopefully other things happening that day. Anyone that is near to us, please come and join us.
Thank you all for your thoughts and concern for Jennifer and Adrianna and for our family. I have heard from a lot of people that have copied me on letters that they have written Governor Bredesen, thank you so much to you all for your support in my search for my precious girls."

Re: Missing Child: ADRIANNA NIKOL WIX
A Letter from the Family:
Unfortunately I am writing this because Jennifer and Adrianna will be missing for one year on March 25th. This past year has been horrible for myself and my family. I miss Jennifer and Adrianna so much and unfortunately, we have not had any news of their whereabouts or welfare in all this time. We continue to pray for good news as we sadly plan a day to remember and honor Jennifer and Adrianna.
Lamar Advertising has generously contributed a billboard on behalf on Jenn and Adrianna. That billboard went up today on I-65 South, between the Bethel Rd and Millersville/Springfield exits. My sincere thanks go to these wonderful people for such a great contribution. My belief is that someone, somewhere, has information to help lead to the answer to, WHAT HAPPENED TO JENNIFER AND ADRIANNA? My prayer is that this billboard will help in this aspect and to have the girls faces shown to the many that travel the interstate everyday.
We are also making plans to mark Saturday, March 26th as a day to honor Jennifer and Adrianna. We will gather at Stewart Williams Furniture store on Memorial Blvd, in Springfield, TN. We will be there from 11:00 a.m. until........We will have a prayer and balloon release at 2:00 p.m. I would also like to add my heartfelt thank you to the caring people at Stewart Williams for allowing us the use of their facilities to gather. Please try to join us and please notify the community that these plans are in place in honor of Jennifer and Adrianna.
Thanks to all for your help in the past year helping to keep Jennifer and Adrianna foremost in the communities hearts and minds.

french invader Join Date: May 2010 | Take off project
Hello guys, I'm here to present you a french project: "Take Off" is a short movie project that will promote the discipline of Mil-Sim across France and perhaps even beyond our borders. But before we get there, it took several months of preparation, and it is not finished. Attention, we do not aim the creation of a"holiday memories" movie. Clearly we will try to approach closer to the filmic. This means: a scenario, a sequence following a logical chronology, with respective roles for each member of the cast and a solid technical background in image capture and sound, compositing, editing and visual decision views. The teaser is now available: The subtitles are available For the short movie you must be patient, again 1-2 month. it will be with english subtitle. screenshots of the movie: follow us : http://www.facebook.com/tcs.milsim?fref=ts http://www.facebook.com/teammilsimtcs Last edited by myjidu35; 12-25-2012 at 04:15 PM. |

Black Balled was pretty good for what it was. Ah hem there was also Paintball the movie too along with Splat. So is this going to be a documentary of sorts as well as an informational video? so far looks good, might attract some of the airsoft with a different presentation of the game.

Dr. Charles Hirsch is retiring from the post he was appointed to in 1989 by the late Mayor Ed Koch.
The 75-year-old investigated thousands of deaths in the city, ranging from the 87 people who died in the Happy Land Social Club fire in 1990, to the nearly 3,000 killed in the September 11th attacks.
He also oversaw major advancements in DNA identification and response operations to mass fatalities.
In a statement, Mayor Michael Bloomberg called Hirsch "a visionary," and says he was often referred to as "the father of modern forensic pathology."
Hirsch's deputy, Dr. Barbara Sampson, is now serving as the city's acting Chief Medical Examiner.

Send this story Print this story Adjust text size Take 'America Saves Week' to heart Don't wait for economic recovery to stash something away
by Jason Alderman
After four years of coping with a stagnant economy, probably the last thing you want to hear is how important it is to sock away money for a rainy day.
You already know that, but hear me out, just in case.
Those who struggle with long-term unemployment or under-employment often simply don't have spare cash available to save. Others, worn out by years of being frugal, just want to buy things again.
Even as we wait for economic recovery it's still good to remember -- or perhaps learn for the first time -- why saving is so vital:
* You could lose your job or see your wages cut. Most financial experts recommend having at least six to nine months' income saved for emergencies, but even $500 could help bail you out of a sticky situation.
* Medical care, retirement and college tuition far outpace inflation. In fact, the average college graduate now carries $25,000 in outstanding loans, debt that can't be discharged through bankruptcy and has no statute of limitations.
* If you're approaching or in retirement, your net worth has probably been hammered by plummeting home and retirement account values in recent years.
* If nothing else, you can teach your children good financial habits that will serve them well during hard times.
So where can you learn sound savings habits? One great resource is America Saves (www.americasaves.org), a national campaign sponsored by more than 1,000 nonprofit, government and corporate organizations.
Its goal is to encourage people from all income levels to save money and build personal wealth using its free financial tools, savings services, advice and other resources, including:
* A Personal Wealth Estimator that helps you calculate your current net worth and estimate your future net worth.
* Monthly Savings Messages from national financial experts on topics such as money management, investment basics, building wealth through home ownership, saving during tax time and getting out of debt.
* Tips for saving money on everything from groceries to utilities to insurance premiums.
* Links to numerous websites offering financial education materials.
Last year, more than 2,000 organizations, including nonprofits, employers, government agencies, educational institutions and unions participated in the fifth annual America Saves Week, reaching millions of Americans -- everything from local banks offering low-fee savings accounts and higher-rate CDs to new savers, to free tax preparation assistance and credit counseling, to worldwide Military Saves drives to encourage savings by military families.
This year's America Saves Week, "Set a Goal, Make a Plan, Save Automatically," is slated for Feb. 19-26.
Here are some great ways to start saving that first $500:
* Direct deposit part or all of your federal tax refund into a savings account or savings bond.
* Avoid overdraft and late fees by regularly monitoring your bank and credit card accounts.
* Brown-bag it to work more often. If you saved $5 a week, you'd be halfway there.
* Kick bad habits. Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day might cost $2,000-plus a year.
* If you have low-deductible homeowners, renters or auto insurance, consider raising the deductible to $500 or $1,000. Many save 15% to 30% or more on their premiums.
Saving can be a tough habit to start, but once you're hooked, you'll never go back.

A dissertation is a type of academic document submitted to support professional qualification of candidate. This document represents the findings and research of candidate. In most of countries thesis is considered as a part of master course. An ideal thesis should have introduction, material methods, review of literature and table of contents. You can also add graphs, findings and references in thesis. The structure of thesis may vary with different academic programs such as agriculture, arts and science. Most of the universities in the united state use a 5 chapter format. The first chapter is an introduction and this part introduces the title of research, methodology, objective and scope of research. The second chapter is review of literature and this part reviewing the relevant previous literature. The review of literature also includes the comparison of current research with previous literature. The next chapter is a methodology chapter, describing how the research program has been planned. This part also explains the data collection, analysis, research methods and tables. Methodology chapter is a very important part of research paper.
Discussion chapter explains the findings of current research and discuss them in the perspective of literature of review. This chapter has two parts discussion and analysis. The final part of thesis is conclusion and it includes the achievements of current research work. The references should be added in last to support your work and research. You should prepare a list of references so that you can support your work in a better way. Once you have completed your thesis then you should take care about presentation requirements such as paper size, citation style and layout. Color of paper and page number is also important. Thesis should be formatted according to international standard. Incomplete and incorrectly formatted thesis is rejected by the educational departments.

EMBERS Ventures' support services were designed to fill a need in Vancouver's inner city. It started with a small mandate to provide a model for economic self sufficiency through entrepreneurship and has successfully grown to help over 500 individuals travel that path to become financially autonomous. By using principles of community based economic development, we have seen people without a business background go on to become self-sufficient owners of their own micro-enterprise, and along the way, increased their confidence and entrepreneurial know-how to become leading and innovative members of Vancouver's growing economic district.
EMBERS Ventures is proud to offer two programs to the public; EMBERS Build A Business and EMBERS Grow A Business that are scheduled at various times throughout the year.
Embers Shaw's VCommunity Channel from D'Arcy Hamilton on Vimeo.
"Before working with EMBERS and the Grow a Business Program I was working really hard on my business and had a lot of plans and ideas, but I was having a hard time turning them into a reality. Working one-on-one with my coach, Guy Thorburn, helped me put a map down on paper, and make several key decisions which will help take my business to the next level.
"One thing that I really admire and appreciate about the Grow A Business Program is that my coach and I are creating a 3-month follow up plan so that I still have someone to check in with regarding the future development of my business. I am very blessed to be part of this program. Thank you Guy and thank you EMBERS."

"In all honesty, before EMBERS I was nowhere. My business was making next to no money and I had very little confidence that I was going to be able to make my business a success. I got really excited when I heard about the EMBERS Ventures program. And after meeting with my coach Guy, I started to believe that there was hope for my business… sometimes all you needs is a little "you can do this" push. The Ventures program has enabled me to run the business that I want, in such a way that makes me happy and committed to success."

Conditions on the East Walker River just north of Mammoth are very good for fly fishers currently. JB with a stunning brown he caught on a SJ worm pattern.
Most of the fisheries in the Eastern Sierra are fishing very well right now. This in part due to the below average snow run-off and some warmer than average temperatures. The high passes are currently open to vehicles, and access to alpine regions at the 9,000 foot level is good. The reservoir levels remain low, fall will look different with some access issues for boaters. This will be the case in many lakes and reservoirs throughout California this year, not just the Sierra region. Creeks and tail waters are in great shape currently, they will be lower than normal this fall. The migration of cutts and rainbows is peaking currently in the tribs of Crowley and Bridgeport, it will begin tapering off soon. Hope you can make it up and enjoy a great opening season here, see you on the water.
East Walker River
Flows recently up to near 100cfs. This is still an excellent release for fly fishers and will further spread the fish out into other than just the deepest pools. The mayflies are the story here late morning/early afternoon #18 with a showing of caddis just beginning. MOVE AROUND. The Miracle Mile has been hammered, and although you will still get fish here with freshies in the morning-there is quality water downstream, especially at these new flows. The fish are holding in pocket water and riffles instead of just the larger pools. Use sufficient weight to get your nymphs down in this faster water.
Jeff hit this one on an Assassin bird's nest fished in a riffle.
Crowley Lake
One of my favorite times of year to fish Crowley is on Mother's Day Weekend. I have seldom been let down, and this year was no exception. The bite was on all over the lake during the hatch, steady grabs while still water nymphing with a #18 gillie, a crystal pupa or emerger as the upper, with a #16 & 18 crystal copper tiger/zebra midge as your larva pattern. I prefer bright bead heads when the water is clean, go to dark when you see algae here. The chironomids are happy campers right now & coming off in big numbers. Took 20 freak'N minutes to clean off the dead spinners after the trip today! Warmer than normal water, mild air temps and a stable water level have made for some very good conditions on Crowley for fly fishers. Sandy Pt., Layton Springs, Big Hilton, Beaver Cove, Crooked Creek, North landing-10-16 feet. Most of the fish I am seeing on the number days are small for Crowley. 12 inch cutts and rainbows are the standard issue, however there are good numbers of browns and three year old bows showing up as well. Water level has not changed and is up only TEN feet from last years low point. Look out for navigation hazards around the Hiltons and towards the Upper Owens inlet. You can get all the flies and Under-cators at the Crowley Lake General Store located right next to Crowley Lake.
Jake with a lean mean fighting machine. His dad Rusty and friend Wayne did well recently.
Mark with a bull headed bow, nice fish!
Big Ben tubed up a nice brownie in Beaver Cove using a dark Spruce-A-Bu
Wayne and Rusty with a double hanging. Gorgeous back drop for this shot.
Jason got himself a quality brown in the breeze
Sung hit many chunky bows like this one
Ian should be a boxer with a reach like this! He did crush the competition on his trip and proved youth and skill will overcome old age and treachery!
Brian with an airborne bow and awesome backdrop
Charles tight to one on Doug R's "fish magnet" Crowley is fishing well early on
Upper Owens/McGee Creek
The spring migration has been good for smaller cutthroats and rainbows, just a lack of slammers this season. It has improved since opener and I would venture to say it has peaked, and will begin to decrease the next week or so. I have already seen some hens that have dropped their eggs, and some pretty worn out looking bucks. Water levels are very low on McGee and Convict Creeks, the rest are not even worth looking at. The fish are averaging about 10-12 inches, most are cutts on the Upper Owens, it is 50/50 on McGee. Some nice mayfly hatches on the UO with a shot at some wild browns on the surface. Fish are very, very, very spooky in the low clear water on McGee-try an upstream approach and drift your imitations down to them. UO has great conditions with nice flows-the deeper water is more friendly for presentations. Assassins are killer here, thanks for the scoop Cody!
Bruce with a pretty cutty from McGee Creek taken on an egg pattern
Jeff stuck over twenty himself while nymphing with us on McGee
SDFF member Howard hanging on to a nice rainbow on McGee Creek
Another SDFF member George made the long trek to get into quality cutts like this on McGee Creek
Middle Owens River
Flows have been bouncing around from 220-260cfs. Pretty sweet for this time of year, you will find some great fly fishing at times in the wild trout section and while drifting with us. This is a plus for a low water year. Strong caddis in the afternoons, we are seeing some sucker fry along the slack water which has made for some good streamer fishing. Take advantage of these low flows this time of year, it is rare to get such warm weather and stable flows on the Middle Owens. Use flashback Pt's #16-18, broken back midges #16, Assassins #16 & 18, olive crystal caddis larva #18-20 while nymphing. Mayfly adults #16-18 light bodies (PMD's are good) light olive caddis adults #16 in the afternoon. Loebergs and Spruce-A-bu's are my go to flies with a heavy sinking tip line. Use the "dip & strip" in the riffle water and at the base of pools.
Bill stung this nice bow on a Spruce-A-Bu while drifting the MO with us recently
Joe beat his personal best on a float with us recently. This was an active morning fish on a Loeberg
Hot Creek
I wish we had more water to fish here. It gets comfy when conditions are this good and it can be tight, especially on weekends. Flows are fine currently, look for low water and weedy conditions as the spring rolls into summer. Midges, mayflies, caddis-they are all showing up on the menu. Fish the far stripes/slots in the weed lines for the biters. I like a #20-22 para-midge with a 10 foot leader-5X for surface action. Try attractor patterns in the morning and late afternoon-SJ worms can be deadly here in the spring while nymphing. (Tom Loe is under permit to guide Hot Creek by the Inyo National Forest Service)
James positioning to release this active fish. Note the lower water level after a short cold snap.
Adobe Pond
Conditions are good here early on and the fish are active and eagerly hitting midges in the morning. The late mornings and afternoons have been slow, with a poor showing of callibaetis thus far. The fish are larger here this year on average and I caught the best brown ever here while scouting. If you like gorgeous scenery, wild trout, and the seclusion of private water give us a call.
BW with a quality "Dobe" brown. Dry dropper and sight casting to rise forms is how you do it from the drift boat at Adobe.
It is absolutely beautiful and tranquil here. One of my favorites to guide. Looking for a place to build your dream vacation house? Give a call and I will put you in touch with the broker.
Bridgeport Reservoir
The fish are concentrated near Rainbow Pt, 9-13 feet. Midges and some callibaetis coming off on the nicer days. The marina is fine for launching smaller boats, water level is dropping to levels that may not work for larger craft. Conditions are very good now, get it before the weeds set in and levels drop too much. Look at the drop-off in Buckeye Bay towards Rainbow. Find a slope, or the edge of the submerged peninsula. Some action along the east shoreline towards Paradise in the old channel-good call for tubers trolling a Loeberg and midge or Killa baetis trailer. Jeffery has these flies at the marina store.
Alpine Lakes
Mixed reports from tubers and shore fishers. Between the CDFW & some IAG plantings most of more popular locations are getting a good jag of fish this spring. Conditions are overall very good in most locations and it looks more like June than May in the Alpine areas this year due to the high snow levels. Use full sinking or heavy sink tip lines to get those streamers down along the drop-offs and near the creek intlets/outlets 10-15 feet.
San Joaquin River
The road to Red Meadow will be opening by Memorial Day, this is very early. The SJ will be very fishable early on this year and not blown out by heavy run-off. Fish will be eager to hit most dry fly attractor patterns like Trudes, Royal Wolfes, Humpies, Stimulators, Sofa Pillows, para chute hi-vis mayfly adults-#14-16. There remains more downed tree removal to be done again this year so be aware of the INFS postings near campgrounds. (Tom Loe is permitted by the Inyo National Forest Service to guide the middle fork of the San Joaquin)
Eagle Lake
We are going to have low water here again this year, however fishing will be very good in the south basin early as the fish will be concentrated here. We still have some dates open and will have three boats on the water here in June. Click on waters we fish-Eagle Lake for dates and info at the top of this page. (Tom Loe is under permit from Lassen National Forest Service to guide Eagle Lake).
Jurassic Pond Loebows
Here are some monsters caught recently on my trophy pond located on McGee Creek. This is private water and we use this exclusively for Drifters clients and special events/groups. There is NO place like it in the Sierra and you will see why!
Jeff with his first monster
And one more that needed extra hands to hold!
Skip with his trophy Loebow-should have seen the one that got away just before this! We would have needed a small crane to get it out.

Just off the craggy cliffs of Corundum, under the rippling blue ocean waves, seven stones stand. They rise majestically from the ocean floor, references to some long ago civilization. Meaningless, now, to all but the most learned.
The Brande Islands are now a hell on earth for the majority of their inhabitants, but it was not allways that way…
A rough town which is haven for outlaws is a staple of all adventuring genres. In the fantasy genre the town of Crueloar provides places in which you can share a dinner table with a vampire or learn the ways of dark magic.
One of the few cities in the world where the ability to swim is more than just recommended.
Beachcombing and coast-hugging, fantasy style. Animal, mineral, and vegetable. Sea-Junk. Flotsam and jetsam. Encounters and other oddities.

- "Oh, shut it, will ya!"
Yar…I do indeed know of Crossbones Isle, stranger. But ye'd be better suited to avoid that place like a widowed wench.
Behold yonder hut floating on the island? An abandoned fisherman's dwelling, you say? Nay, tis the Temple Of Inaha.
The Dragon Isles consist of no less than thirty or so separate islands, of varying sizes, in a fifty-mile chain running on an approximately north-south line about thirty miles off of the eastern coast.
According to the legend, Dread Velsparge, Daemon Prince of the Myriad Hands, plunged into the Tarakhen Sea in a blaze of scarlet flame, throwing the whole world into ruin.
To be sure, the Dirdums are fair teeming with goblins.

The 2012 Olympics are coming closer, and, as such, have been a popular blog topic lately. And I'll join in since I came across an article that looks at the progression of running speeds in three animals: dogs, horses and humans. For all three there are good datasets on the ten best performers for the past century or so. The distances of the races under consideration were 450 – 500m for dogs, 2200 – 2800m for horses and 200 – 1500m for humans (later in the analysis restricted to 800 – 1500m).
Anyway, what they found is that in all three cases, the progression of records followed a similar pattern: quick at first, and then arriving at a plateau. Their analysis suggests that all three considered subjects are nearing their plateau's (and, in humans, the plateau is reached).
This similar pattern, they say, is quite surprising given the different conditions leading to speed improvement in the three species. In dogs and horses, artificial selection was/is quite significant. In humans beings, on the other hand, the faster running times are likely to be mainly the consequence of better training systems and more thorough population screening, which leads to a larger 'genetic pool' to sample from.
In their conclusion, the authors write:
The parallel progression of maximal running speeds in these three species over the last decades suggests that performances will no longer progress despite genetic selection in animals and best population detection in humans. Regardless of differences between species (biological, environmental and competition history), human pressure, which has accelerated the biological adaptations allowing to run faster, is a process with limited potential and reduced benefits in the near future.
So, we're nearing (or have already reached) our biological limits when it comes to running speed.
However, life isn't static. Biological limits can change. Of course, this takes a lot of time. Or does it? For the past few Olympic games, the subject of genetic enhancement has been popping up. A subject about which a lot has been said and written. So, where are these genetically enhanced athletes? (On a side note: progress in training methods etc. might make a difference as well…)
Of course, there's no such thing as a 'running gene' or a 'sprinting gene', but on the other hand, it is not inconceivable that there are some genes that can have a significant impact on athletic performance (the 2007 reference below lists some candidate genes, involved in, for example, muscle size, strength and recovery, or size and oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells). And as the human genome is being quickly explored, other candidate genes are bound to be found. Overall, if proper procedures are developed, it seems possible to enhance athletic ability in human beings.
Leading us to the ethics of it. Rather than continuing with a lengthy treatise on it, I'll just leave you with some questions:
- If genetic enhancement of athletic ability becomes possible, should it be allowed?
- If it is allowed, does it diminish the 'value' of the performance?
- Beyond genetics, what about other alterations such as surgery, or prosthetics (the Oscar Pistorius debate)?
- How far can/should we go? (Creating a special class of 'athlete humans', each attuned to his/her specific discipline?)
- Besides enhancing athletes, should we, if it becomes feasible, 'design' athlete babies by changes in the germ-line (the reproductive cells)?
Whatever, it will turn out to be, I'm looking forward to, hopefully, seeing some world records being pulverized in a little while.

REVERSE A CURSE AT SOMEONE: Did someone cast a malicious spell upon you?
If so, you can remove the effects of this spell with a protection
spell, but you can also reverse the effects of the spell back to this
person. It will take only a few days before that spell work. If you
want, you can also ask me to enhance the effects of the curse so that
the payback really worth it.
PSYCHIC CURSE ON SOMEONE: In fact, it's not one spell that we will
discuss here, but many spells. Each spell can have a specific effect on
the physical health of someone. Therefore, you can cast a spell to have
the following effects: make someone hairs fall, make someone teeth fall,
make someone nails fall. If you ask me, I can also make the opposite
and increase enormously the rise of hairs of any part of the body, or
cause to someone intense stomach pain. For the most powerful spells of
this category, know that you can also make someone blind or deaf..
