Homer latest example of Stanton's progression
SAN DIEGO -- When it comes to hitting a baseball far, Giancarlo Stanton has always been in a class of his own.
Now the Marlins' slugger is developing an approach that is making him one of the most dangerous overall hitters in the game.View Full Game Coverage
SAN DIEGO -- When it comes to hitting a baseball far, Giancarlo Stanton has always been in a class of his own.
Now the Marlins' slugger is developing an approach that is making him one of the most dangerous overall hitters in the game.View Full Game Coverage
Stanton's game-winning, two-run home run in the 11th inning on Thursday night at San Diego is the latest example.
In the decisive at-bat, Padres reliever Dale Thayer had made Stanton look bad with a fastball to make the count 0-2.
It's not like Stanton completely set up Thayer for the next pitch, but the 24-year-old had a pretty good idea he would see another fastball. When he did, he took an easy swing, the ball blistered to center over the fence and the Marlins were on their way to a 3-1 win.
Stanton, normally stoic on the field, couldn't help but smile after connecting.
"That's the last thing I expected ... the way the game was, and that at-bat," Stanton said. "He pitched me the way I was acting in that at-bat. It was more of I knew what was coming. I didn't try to do too much with it. I didn't expect to do that."
Stanton leads the National League with 11 homers. His 40 RBIs pace the big leagues. Keep in mind, the slugger drove in just 62 runs in an injury-plagued 2013.
Now he's emerging as an all-around player, and he's moving up the charts in Marlins' history. Stanton has 128 career homers, which is one behind Derrek Lee for fifth place overall. Since Stanton broke into the big leagues on June 8, 2010, only Jose Bautista and Miguel Cabrera have hit more home runs in that time frame. Both have 143.
"I don't know if there is a limit," Miami manager Mike Redmond said on Stanton's potential. "I think he's still getting better and still improving. That's probably scary, right? His power is unbelievable. He's still learning his approach and the pitches he can hit and the pitches he can't hit. He's still a young guy. He's still really young."
Surrounded by more veterans, Stanton is able to relax and do his part without feeling he has to do too much.
"He's been great this year," Redmond said. "He's moving around, having fun. You can tell, he's smiling, he's happy. He's just a totally different guy this year from last year.
"I think last year was unfair to him. He felt like he had to do it all. That's not fair for any player. I think this year, we brought some help around him. Good guys who have won. I think that's made him enjoy this a lot more."

There are several reasons why you might decide to replace your existing enterprise content management (ECM) solution, including a desire to reduce costs, align with IT investments, gain new efficiencies and mitigate both business and technical risks from an outdated and underperforming solution.
Whether your vendor stopped providing meaningful product enhancements or the product roadmap no longer aligns with your needs, without continual product improvements that are responsive to your organisation, your legacy solution will require time-consuming system workarounds, adding to your system's mounting total cost of ownership. Change or growth within your organisation may result in growing pains for your current ECM solution, hampering performance and scalability, and impacting how your organisation conducts business.
Considering an ECM conversion gives you the opportunity to find a solution that better fits the needs of your organisation today, and one that helps you plan for the future with a clearly-defined product roadmap and that evolves with you to meet your specific needs.
That solution should come from an experienced ECM vendor with an uncompromised focus on product research and development, as well as an expert in-house database conversions team with a proven conversion toolset and methodology.

Following a short stint riding for Italian brand RRD, Alex Mussolini has made the move over to French brand, Tabou for the start of the 2009 PWA season. He joins a star studded selection of stable mates that includes the likes of Thomas Traversa, Ross Williams, Anthony Reunes and Valarie Ghibaudo.
On teaming up with crazy Frenchman Thomas Traversa, Alex commented:
"Thomas is a great friend and we do a lot of trips and travel on the tour together. He has some great board shapes and really understands boards. It will be excellent to work with him and be on the same team with him."
When asked about his ambitions, the laid back Spaniard didn't divulge too much information, "My main goal for 2009 is to do well on the tour!" We wish him the best of luck.
At present, almost without exception the entire PWA wave fraternity is stationed out in Cabo Verde, training hard ahead of the fast approaching Cabo Verde PWA World Cup.

When he announced that wide receiver Ryan Broyles would miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and that wide receiver Titus Young was no longer "in the mix" for playing time, Lions coach Jim Schwartz said that the team would have to make a roster move to add depth at the position.
They made that move, although they didn't sign a free agent following the familiar Tuesday tryout. Kris Durham, who caught passes from Matthew Stafford and played opposite A.J. Green at Georgia, has been promoted from the practice squad to fill the roster spot vacated by Broyles.
Durham was a fourth-round pick of the Seahawks in 2011, but played in just three games for the team before ending the season on injured reserve thanks to a shoulder injury. Durham had three catches in those games — they actually all came in a Week Two loss — and lost out in the battle for roster spots in camp this summer. The Lions signed him to their practice squad just after final cuts.
Durham's height, Durham is listed at 6-6, has always been intriguing and he could get a chance to make an impression as the Lions play out the string. Mike Thomas is expected to see a bump in playing time with Broyles out of the lineup, but Durham knows the offense so he'd be ready for action if the Lions decide to give him any.

Very disappointing
it was not as I had expected considering the stars. I felt it was slightly boring and did not deserve 4 or 5 stars.
Spotlight, the movie, was 5 stars
This movie was great! Despite the fact that I lived through it myself and knew how it ended, it still kept me riveted and on the edge of my seat. The cast was awesome and I especially loved the process of the paper going to press. It is obvious that the poor comments that have been written here are written by those that are quite young or do not know the history (and do not care) that is involved here. I learned a lot and have been educating myself, as well as learning more about this time period; being a teenager then, I tended to not pay a lot of attention to news worthy events. I do however, remember it to be a scary time for our country, and give kudos to the cast, directors, producers and anyone else involved in the making of this film. Five stars for sure!
Watergate was a great time to be alive.
As someone who lived through the events depicted in the movie, and spent eleven years living in Washington and reading the Washington Post every single day, I absolutely LOVED this movie. The Post was a great newspaper and Ben Bradly a great editor. Streep's portrayal of Katherine Graham was spot on (read her life story and you will see shy.) Kudos to Speilberg for making this movie at a time when America needs to hear the message about freedom of the press and how necessary it is in a democracy. Anyone without some knowledge of recent American history or expecting to simply be "entertained" won't get anything out of this film. Personally I found it well made and absolutely riveting even though I knew "the rest of the story"........
I thought the movie was just ok. I think Meryl Streeps role could have been played by anyone ... I'd say the same for Tom Hanks' role. At times it was boring. I can't see them winning an Oscar for their roles.
So boring!.. left half way through to go shopping!,, more entertaining!,,
Boring. Streep was boring. No development to help me dislike Nixon. Big disappointment.
If you want to see a snap shot into history of how reports and one lady that owned a newspaper went against the president of the US and won you will enjoy this movie but if you are going to be entertained this is a sleeper.

ToyTec Bilstein Coilover Upgrades - Toyota TacomaPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on February 1, 2013
When outfitting a trail rig with an aftermarket bumper, winch, and heavy-duty skidplates, things start getting heavy, and heavy can be a problem on your suspension. Our '04 Tacoma double cab had Bilstein coilover shocks but only 500-pound-rated springs. It worked fine with just an aftermarket bumper but was not up to the task of controlling our now heavyset Tacoma when we added a winch.
The folks at Toytec, a company that specializes in lifting and modifying Toyotas, had a solution to our dilemma. They recommended a set of their 600-pound rated Bilstein adjustable front coilover shocks. This bolt-on front coilover lift is similar to what we had before, as it utilizes maintenance-free Bilstein 5100 shocks. However, this one uses a different mounting system and comes with a variety of coil spring rates.
These particular Toytec coilovers are available for the '951⁄2-'04 Tacoma and '96-'02 4Runner with three different front coil rates depending on front weight and vehicle type. The light 500-pound coils we had are recommended for four-cylinder and standard cab models only. The 600-pound coils are for additional front weight on all models, including the double cab like ours. Toytec also offers heavy-duty 650-pound coils to be used with at least 200 pounds of additional front weight from aftermarket accessories like heavy front bumpers and steel cable line winch combos.
The Toytec coilovers come assembled for easy driveway or shop installation, requiring just handtools and no spring compressor. The upgrade was easy, and we were truly impressed with the difference a 600-pounds coil spring can make on the coilover.

Thought most Hawks fans have been very respectful and unbiased in this thread.
I brought up the QBR because Wilson has a remarkably high QBR as well. I'd say Wilson is the better QB at this point, but the 49ers definitely have more weapons and a better OLine. It will be fun to see how the Hawks handle this offseason.
Hawk fans, would you rather see a big splash in FA or staying with the course you guys have been on (i.e. picking up 2nd tier guys and making them stars).

About this time last year, Wyndmoor native Emilee Ehret made a decision that would spare her from returning dozens of phone calls and answering hundreds of e-mails. Then a junior at Mount St. Joseph Academy, Ehret made an early verbal commitment to play field hockey at Penn State, whose team has been ranked as high as third in the nation in 2012.
She'd been considering other schools such as the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, Richmond, and Boston University, and not just for field hockey.
"She could've played Division I lacrosse easily," pointed out Jen Duckenfield, who coached her in that sport last spring at the Mount. "She was a second team All-American last season."
Unusually tall for a hockey player at 5'10", Ehret has power to go along with her stature.
MSJ hockey coach Christina Post said, "Emilee has this amazing big hit where she can find great lanes through people's block-ups to hit our forwards and our offensive center mid."
She started out as the Magic's offensive center mid this fall, then shifted back towards the defensive end as part of a personnel adjustment the team made in the middle of the season.
"She's been great at distributing the ball, and she's really helped us stretch the field," Post said. "Defensively, she was a great leader for the young girls we had in the back. She was always encouraging and she really helped teach the young players out on the field."
Ehret's two older sisters were both distinguished athletes at Penn Charter. The eldest, Whitney, was a distance runner and a diver, but Emilee takes more after middle sister Margaretha, an All-Inter-Ac League hockey and lacrosse player who signed with the University of Virginia for field hockey, and later transferred to Penn.
The youngest Ehret recalled, "Growing up it was always me and Whitney versus Margaretha in the back yard, so it was even."
The athletic pedigree extends back to her mother, Lori, a field hockey player at the College of William and Mary, and her father Patrick, who played basketball at Duke.
Ehret noted, "Even my aunts on my mom's side were all hockey players."
Lois Weber, who coached her in hockey during her first three high school seasons, observed "She has an excellent athletic build. She's like a thoroughbred, with both of her parents college athletes and the older sisters, as well. You could see that natural talent right away.
"She helped our program out a lot," Weber went on. "She really stepped up as a sophomore, and that year she scored in the state quarterfinals when we beat Lower Dauphin, who was the defending state champion."
Like her older siblings, the youngest Ehret attended Penn Charter in lower school, then went to Springfield Township Middle School. While she was there, her mother became the lacrosse coach at Mount St. Joe's, and that's where she decided to attend high school. She had also looked at Germantown Academy and Lawrenceville School.
"I'd never been to a Catholic school before, so it was a big change for me," she recalled. "It worked out really well, because I've been very happy at the Mount and I loved being at an all-girls school."
She said that in the academic realm "I enjoyed all my math classes, and I took a lot of honors courses. My favorite was AP Statistics, which I took my junior year.
"They have a very strong business school at Penn State," she continued, "and that appealed to me. I like dealing with money. My father's a financial advisor, but I kind of got interested in it on my own."
On the athletic fields, she went from strength to strength.
Her first Mount coach, Weber, said, "She's an intense kid who tries extremely hard, and over the years her skill level has improved consistently. When she gets the opportunity to play and practice all the time on turf at Penn State [the Mount still has a grass field), I think she'll continue to get better and she'll help their program."
Lacrosse mentor Duckenfield said, "With Emilee, it's one of those things where she's the hardest-working player out there, but she makes everything look easy. She picks everything up so quickly and she's extremely coachable. Her size, speed, and strength separates her from most players."
Her mental approach also draws praise from coaches.
Post opined, "She's very technically skilled and strong, but I think one of her best assets is that she understands the game so well. She reads how a defense is moving and that's how she's able to find passing lanes. She's also very good at drawing people in and the putting the ball in the space that's just opened up. With Emilee, you can tell that there's always a plan."
She helped the Mount reach the state semifinals in 2010, and the Magic made it back to the PIAA tourney in each of the next two seasons. In this year's opening-round loss to perennial upstate power Emmaus High School, Ehret scored the Magic's lone goal on a big drive off of a penalty corner, and Mount St. Joe ended the season with a 19-5 record.
In the winter, she plays indoor hockey for True North United, a club led by former professional ice hockey player Jeff Harding, who is also the field hockey coach at Central Bucks South High School. Last winter, True North tied for second place at the National Indoor Tournament.
The club schedule is not as rigorous as during Ehret's school sports seasons, and she finds time to volunteer regularly at the St. Francis Inn Soup Kitchen in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. The star athlete is also a member of the Spanish Honors Society at the Mount.
Just after the Mount's hockey season ended last fall, Ehret played in a tournament at Penn State, and her mother encouraged her to expand the trip to include an official recruiting visit.
"I was impressed by how clean and beautiful the campus was," she related. "I was worried that such a large school might not be for me, but as I walked around I was very comfortable talking to people, and I just felt a sense of belonging.
"I really liked the coaches and the girls on the team," she went on, "and when I went to a game I was so excited I just wanted to run out on the field and start playing with them. I know I have a lot of work to do before that happens, and I have to adjust to the speed of the game after playing on grass most of the time in high school. Of course, you always want to keep improving your stick skills."
She said that when she talked with the Lady Lions' coaches, "They liked my size and my presence on the field, and they liked the strong drives that I have. They said I moved well for a larger girl – I'll probably be the tallest girl on the team."
The PSU coaches said they felt her height gave her a comprehensive view of the action all over the field, but it also gives her something else. A degree of back pain is almost inevitable for a lanky field hockey player.
She commented, "My mom never pushed me towards field hockey over lacrosse, and I think part of it is she knows how sore I am when I get home after playing hockey for awhile. I still really enjoy lacrosse, and I'm going to play this spring and whenever I can get time."
If you happened to be on the sidelines at an MSJ game, you'd notice that very few people actually call Ehret by her given name. Instead of Emilee, just about everyone calls her "Dog," a moniker that older sibling Margaretha co-opted from a Disney Channel TV show and hung on the youngest member of the clan when she was a third-grader.
She said. "I remember back at Penn Charter walking down the hall and everyone was calling me Dog, because my sister spread it around the whole school. It just stuck with me; I even had backpacks monogrammed 'Dog.'
"My mom calls me Dog in stores," she revealed, "and people look around like 'who names their child Dog?' At games, other teams ask "who's this Dog on your team?' I love it, personally, because it kind of suits the way that I play."
It certainly applies to her dogged determination, as evidenced by a story told by her lacrosse coach, Jen Duckenfield.
"I remember last spring we were beating Villa Maria, but they came back and tied us and they were threatening to score again right near the end of the game," Duckenfield recounted. "I screamed 'Emilee, steal the ball now and just go to goal.' She looked at me, then she went over, took the ball away, and transitioned down and scored. She's that kind of player."

Good morning.
Six months ago, Oracle's Larry Ellison called out rival SAP on Twitter for lagging in the cloud. That was the last tweet we saw from him.
With tech-stock traders placing their bets ahead of the software company's off-season earnings report due out this afternoon, you can bet we'll get another round of cloud-computing proclamations in the conference call.
Elsewhere, gun stocks are dropping after the Connecticut shootings, and traders, putting emotions aside, continue to sift through the constant news flow to determine the best way to play them. For what it's worth, the consensus seems to call for steering clear of, or even shorting, some of the more high profile names.
That's what one of the big boys is doing. Private equity giant Cerberus, founded by avid shooter and hunter Steven Feinberg, is looking to get out of the gun business after feeling some pressure from former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and the California State Teachers Retirement System.
So unless you subscribe to the buy-when-everyone-else-sells philosophy, these stocks are probably best left for short-term traders looking to capitalize on what could be some wild swings in the coming session.
Key market gauges: Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/8750714 DJZ2 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/3102232 SPZ2 look to add to yesterday's gains, with both moving higher in premarket action. Some progress on the fiscal-cliff front may be a contributing factor to not only the strength in U.S. markets but also over in Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150 XX:SXXP , where all the major indexes are moving higher. Read: Europe stocks rise on fiscal-cliff optimism.
The economy: Analysts are expecting to see a $109 billion reduction in the current-account deficit when the data are released from the Commerce Department at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. Read from The Tell: What to watch on U.S. economy.
Later in the day, an index of homebuilder sentiment is seen ticking higher in December, following up on November's level, which was the highest since May 2006. Low inventories, interest rates and prices have contributed to the steady rise, but as long as the number remains below 50 — consensus is for 47 — builders rate sales conditions as poor.
Oracle earnings: Skire, Xsigo, Taleo and DataRaker. No, these aren't Bond villains, they are recent Oracle /quotes/zigman/76584 /quotes/nls/orcl ORCL acquisitions in the cloud-computing space that we could hear a lot more about in today's earnings report. Analysts are looking for the software giant after the closing bell to hand in a profit of 48 cents a share, up from 43 cents a year earlier. Read about how the cloud is "both friend and foe for Oracle."
The company's "hardware business in the U.S. may have again been light, and we continue to hear about high sales turnover, driven in part by frustration that sales quotas in some regions have become 'astronomically high," says JMP Securities analyst Patrick Walravens. Here's an earnings preview from MarketWatch's Ben Pimental and check out one Oracle shareholder's bullish case from Seeking Alpha.
The buzz: As mentioned, traders have set their sights on gun stocks after yesterday's decline. Smith & Wesson /quotes/zigman/87396 /quotes/nls/swhc SWHC , down 1% premarket, is among the top-trending tickers after losing 5.2% Monday. Same with Sturm Ruger /quotes/zigman/242215 /quotes/nls/rgr RGR , which fell 3.5%. Read: With new gun laws in the air, gun makers decline.
The ProShares Ultrashort 20+ Year Treasury ETF /quotes/zigman/12174022 /quotes/nls/tbt TBT and the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury ETF /quotes/zigman/1480195 /quotes/nls/tlt TLT have garnered some added attention, with Standpoint Capital saying "the play of the decade is probably to short bonds."
Other tickers drawing an increased number of clicks include Ford /quotes/zigman/264304 /quotes/nls/f F , Logitech /quotes/zigman/101258 /quotes/nls/logi LOGI and Jefferies Group /quotes/zigman/188140 /quotes/nls/jef JEF .
Some premarket movers: Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL and Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609 /quotes/nls/fb FB are up more than 1%, while Vanda Pharma /quotes/zigman/99189 /quotes/nls/vnda VNDA is surging 27% on positive trial results. Vodafone /quotes/zigman/101873 /quotes/nls/vod VOD and Research in Motion /quotes/zigman/18534 /quotes/nls/rimm RIMM are off about 1.4%
Apple's premarket gains came after Samsung said its withdrawing its injunction requests against the company. Read the full story on what The Wall Street Journal calls "a major U-turn in a long-running patents war."
The chart of the day: Technical traders, like TraderHR on StockTwits, are sizing up Smith & Wesson as a short candidate. Here's a look at why, gun-control banter aside, some chartists see the trendline pointing south.
The call of the day: Prediction #5 out of 11: "The Google+ jokes will stop." Other readings from InformationWeek's "Google in 2013" crystal ball include the purchase of Pinterest, a retail push, and a high-end Chromebook. "Google /quotes/zigman/93888 /quotes/nls/goog GOOG will be well on its way to becoming Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL ," Thomas Claburn wrote.

Tag: Pat Regan
3 Harlow – S/T (Release Year – 1990)
Back in 1989, When Black 'N Blue broke up, current KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer was looking for a new band/project to join. His associate producer from the Black 'N Blue Album, In Heat, Pat Regan had recently signed singer/songwriter Teresa Straley.
Thayer agreed to play the guitar on this new group which would become Harlow. Most of the songs were already written by the time Thayer came in, but his guitar work certainly helped to improve the songs on this disc.
Harlow recently announced that they were reuniting and will be playing at Rocklahoma. I had to scramble to find a copy of this record. I originally owned this on cassette back in the 90's but did not replace it until now. I recalled liking this band, but couldn't remember much about the songs or the music.
What is even funny, is that I found out after the fact that this is NOT the Harlow that will be playing on the Retrospect Records stage at Rocklahoma. There was a second band with the same name from Kansas City, that will be reuniting for this gig (and I thought this band was obscure).
Much to my surprise, the most powerful instrument in Harlow is not Thayer's guitar, but is the voice of Teresa Straley. Her style reminds me of a cross between Lita Ford and Heart's Nancy Wilson. She has the ability to let loose with a powerful metal screams, and then sing with a very clean sounding voice. Thayer's guitar work shines on this record, but he definitely takes a back seat to Straley on this disc.
The music on this disc fluctuates between early 90's hair metal and AOR, but it is highly listenable. Some of the best songs on this disc are Chain Reaction, Empty, Cry Murder, Beyond Control (which was dedicated the family and friends of Pan Am Flight 103) and Pictures.
This disc can be found for very little cash at Amazon.com, and is worth grabbing if you are a fan of early 90's rock.
Rating:Out of 10
Track Listing:
1. Chain Reaction
2. Silence
3. Don't Say We're Over
4. Empty
5. When You Love Someone

9. Pictures
10. Edge of Love

Rostered Ministers
In seeking to achieve its mission, the ELCIC nurtures, supports and oversees Rostered Ministers, who offer leadership and vision to the church, congregations and various ministry contexts. The ELCIC has two types of public ministers: Ordained and Diaconal.
Ordained Ministers (Pastors) are called to a public ministry of Word and Sacrament as a means of creating and nourishing faith in the church. Rooted in the Word of God, and accountable to the church, pastors train theologically and are formed for ministry. Pastors serve through preaching and teaching, by presiding at baptism and communion, and by offering prayerful spiritual care. While many pastors serve in congregations, they also serve in a variety of settings such as hospital chaplaincy, military chaplaincy, colleges, seminaries, camps, missionary fields, and synodical and national offices. Inherent to the pastoral ministry is commitment to offer faithful witness to Christ, to support God's people as they grow in faith and witness, and to encourage the church to be In Mission for Others.
Diaconal Ministers are called to a public ministry of "Word and Service." Rooted in the Word of God, and accountable to the church, diaconal ministers train both theologically and for a particular service. Inherent to diaconal vocation is leading and equipping all the baptized for diakonia, by helping people to discern gifts for service, by encouraging awareness of the world's brokenness, and by forming supportive community in the midst of ministries. All Diaconal Ministers in the ELCIC have the right to use the title "Deacon"; as a result of the church's rich history of diaconal ministry, some ministers continue to use the title "Deaconess" or "Sister."
In seeking to achieve its mission, the ELCIC also maintains seminaries for the education and continuing development of rostered ministers and other church leaders. The ELCIC has two seminaries: Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon, SK and Waterloo Lutheran Seminary in Waterloo, ON.

B. Michael, a New York fashion designer and costumer for Whitney Houston in the upcoming film"Sparkle," premiered his new collection, b michael America Red, atMacy's South Coast Plaza this week.
Fashion enthusiasts gathered in the dresses department Wednesday evening to preview the informally modeled collection. Those in attendance were given a chance to meet the designer and peruse the new designs.
Oscar-nominated Cicely Tyson ("The Help") bought a brown dress in support of the line.
Macy's partnered with B. Michael for the launch of the new collection, which is now carried exclusively at 10 Macy's locations across the country.
"Macy's is the quintessential American department store, and so we are happy that they responded as such, because we think it's a great fit," B. Michael said before the event. "We are creating an American lifestyle brand ... red of course being a part of American colors: red, white and blue. And one of the things you will see is that all of the linings, for instance, in the collection are red.
"And, we're making the collection in America — in New York, to be exact — so we are representing something that we believe in."
The new collection was inspired by the designer's flagship collection, b michael America.
"We're excited, because it's an opportunity as a couture designer, which is our flagship, for us to present our point of view to a broader audience and still maintain the kind of sensibility we bring to the couture collection, as well," B. Michael said.
The new line features easy-to-wear dresses and sleek jacket ensembles priced between $155 and $400. Dresses come in neutral tones, solids and select bold prints. Stylistically, the selections offer a modern take on the designer's signature use of clean lines, dramatic sleeves, retro-inspired feminine silhouettes and striking necklines.
"We are targeting a woman who is professional, or certainly a woman that has an agenda," B. Michael said. "She's sophisticated. Whether it's that she's working during the day as a professional and has to go to a gallery opening or a dinner meeting or for fun after work. So she can wear the dress and take the jacket off and be ready for what happens after work."
B. Michael began developing the line two years ago.
"Designing this was more research in terms of finding great fabrics and finding ways to take the kind of silhouetting that I do, which typically is lots of seams and construction work, and finding a way to translate that for ready to wear and to create it in America," he said.
B. Michael got his start years ago as a millenary designer for Oscar de la Renta, Louis Feraud and Nolan Miller on the TV series "Dynasty."
"I love to say that Chanel started as a millenary designer and Hassen started as a millenary designer, so I'm a humble member of their club," B. Michael said with a laugh.
He debuted his first couture line in fall 1999, under the guidance of Eleanor Lambert.
Since then, the designer has shown his collections in the United States and Asia and has designed for sports stars and high-profile actresses.
In fact, his newest collection was influenced by the dramatic looks he designed for Houston in "Sparkle."
The New York resident wasn't in town for just the Macy's launch, but also for the "Sparkle" premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday.
"I have not seen any of the screenings, my design," he said. "I will attend the premiere and see it for the first time, so I am very excited. Aside from all of everything attached to it, I'm looking forward to seeing it as a film and following the storyline, because I think it's well done."
B. Michael collaborated with the film's costume designer, Ruth Carter, who commissioned him to create most of Houston's wardrobe for the film.
He began working on the project after fashion week last September and finished about the first week of November.
"[It was] amazing, at the same time very professional, but I will say very warm and very personable," the designer said of working with the late Houston. "I enjoyed her responding to the fit of the dresses and saying, 'Oh wow, B. This is wonderful, oh lord. Wow, I love the sleeve. Make it even grander and do this.' You know, it was that kind of interaction that I particularly enjoyed."
"Sparkle" will be released nationwide Friday.
In the meantime, B. Michael is in the process of developing his next line, b michael America Blue, set for release next year.
"But you know, I learned a long time ago to focus on what today's agenda is," he said. "Today it's all about red. I am looking forward to — as a brand — that we leave a mark in terms of American fashion history."

A very well researched article
Although Hindu honor killing is a gruesome and sordid affair, it differs in many important respects from honor killing in neighboring Pakistan and other Muslim countries. Indian Hindus murder men for honor more often than do Pakistani Muslims, and they murder for reasons mainly related to concerns about caste purity.
Perhaps the most striking characteristic of Hindu honor killings is the fact that Indians abandon the horrific practice when they migrate to the West whereas many Pakistani Muslims carry it with them. Part of the explanation may lie in their different patterns of acculturation upon immigrating to the West. Young Hindus in the West are no less prone to violate traditional social codes than young Muslims, and their parents may be no less furious when they do, but Hindu families in the West do not feel the same degree of public humiliation and shame as they might experience back in India. They are eager to preserve their cultural identity but not at the expense of alienating their adoptive communities. The absence of dreaded khap panchayats no doubt mitigates the consequences of dishonor.

Sheriff in the ancient Egyptian was a law-giver and his badge was always a six-pointed star which is a symbol of Saturn. US Sheriffs in the wild west up to today still wear the six-pointed star. It is interesting that Saturn's symbol is the 6-pointed star, Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun, Saturn-day is the 6th day of the week, and now NASA is receiving images of "the Saturn Hexagon" (6-sided) atmospheric formation at Saturn's poles. The 6th chakra of the human energy system is the 3rd eye/pineal gland (6, 3 times = 666). When your 3rd eye chakra opens you develop your 6th sense of intuition and spirituality. From a consciousness perspective, the 6th sense, your intuitions/hunches, are messengers of god, your guardian angels. Isn't it interesting that angels have haloes/rings around their heads and Saturn is the only planet with a halo/ring around it?
"That is why today, when you get married, you get married before God. And the symbol of that God is the ring that is put on each other's fingers. The ring of Saturn. In the marriage phrases, one also begins to see what that has to do with Saturn. So when you get married, you get married with a ring and the symbol of that God is the ring, the ring of Saturn. You're wearing God's ring. And the yarmulke was the round ring that you wear on your head, for Saturn your God. Even in the middle ages, in the temples, Catholic monks would shave their heads in a round circle, and the Hebrews, instead of doing that, would wear the yarmulke. But it all had to do with the round rings of Saturn." -Jordan Maxwell, "Matrix of Power"
"The ancient name of Saturn was, as mentioned, EL. It is the reason why those that were chosen by EL, were called Elites. In fact the words, Elect, Elder, Elevated, Elohim,
"The plural term Elohim appears over 2500 times in the Old Testament but is falsely translated in most versions. This fact of plurality explains why in Genesis 'Gods' said, 'Let us make man in our image.' As stated, Elohim refers to both 'gods' and 'goddesses,' and its singular form, El, served as a prefix or suffix to names of gods, people and places, whence Emmanu-El, Gabri-El, Beth-El, etc. Even 'Satan' was one of the Elohim." -Acharya S., "The Christ Conspiracy" (67)
The gods of EL-o-him are ang-EL-s, the messengers of god. When witches cast a spe-EL, they put the "Hex" (6) on someone, and when chefs deep fry something, they "Deep 6" it. It is the EL-ites who run the world today. El-ite comes from the "Isra-El-ites" which came from the

Rome was known to the "Romans" as Saturnia, not Rome, and Saturn was one of their gods. Black is both Saturn's color and Satan's color. The black holy bible tells us Satan is 666. Saturn is the 6th planet, its symbol is a 6-pointed star, it supposedly has hexagon weather formations, and Saturn-day, the 6th day, is Ozzy Osbourne's "Black Sabbath."
Is this all just divine coincidence or is our perception of Saturn and the other planets being manipulated by the Masonic magicians at NASA?

Woman wielding tire iron attacks another woman
STAMFORD -- In an attack that appears to be motivated by jealously, a Darien woman walking on Main Street had at least one tooth knocked out when another woman beat her repeatedly with a tire iron Monday morning, police said.
Capt. Tom Wuennemann said the 26-year-old woman was attacked just before 9:30 a.m. and struck four or five times on the head and face with the 10-inch metal tool.
While attacking the Darien resident, the woman was heard saying, "I told you not to mess with my man," he said.
The Darien woman was walking near 119 Main St. when the other woman, who was driving a sky-blue car, got out of the vehicle, Wuennemann said; witnesses saw the vehicle speeding west on Main Street toward Clinton Avenue after the attack.
The woman was taken to Stamford Hospital to be treated for cuts and bruises on her head and face. She lost at least one tooth as a result of the assault, Wuennemann said. The car and driver have not been found.
The victim told police she received harassing phone messages from another woman, but wasn't sure if the woman who attacked her sent them, Wuennemann said.
"She is not sure if that is the woman that assaulted her. She never met the other woman and we don't know for sure at this point," Wuennemann said.
Police are checking video surveillance cameras in the area in hopes of identifying the attacker. The victim is being cooperative and Wuennemann said police are tracing other leads.

Corvette Recovery ProgramAs we're sure most of you know, tragedy struck the National Corvette Museum on February 12, 2014, when a sinkhole opened up and swallowed eight rare Vettes. After stabilizing the area the slow and painful process of recovering the cars began. First to be lifted out was the '09 ZR-1 "Blue Devil" on March 3. It looked to have only sustained minimal damage and drove out of the museum under its own power.
The second car out of the hole was a '93 40th Anniversary example and it didn't fare nearly as well as the ZR-1. The damage was expected as the cars fell more than 30 feet and many were buried under rubble. As John Spencer, manufacturing integration manager for Corvette, told us, "The 40th Anniversary looks much worse than it really is. Practically every body panel and piece of glass will need to be replaced. However, underneath the frame looks straight, the suspension seems to be intact, and the steering gear still works. It is definitely salvageable."
The third car, pulled from the sinkhole on March 4, was a '62. Luck was on its side as the vintage Corvette sustained very little damage. "The recovery of the first three cars went flawlessly, and the cars are in remarkably good shape," commented Spencer. "Unfortunately, the remaining five cars are either partially or totally covered in debris. We expect their recovery will be much more challenging, and the cars to be in much worse condition."
Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for more news as the other five Corvettes are carefully recovered.

Blind swimmer Lt. Brad Snyder is heading to the London Paralympic Games after formally qualifying Sunday and setting two world records in Bismarck, N.D., last week.
Snyder, who lost his eyes in an explosion in Afghanistan last year, swam 54 seconds faster than his previous best in the 400-meter freestyle — a full 13 seconds faster than he had calculated he needed to swim to qualify.
He set a world record for fully blind swimmers in the process, clocking in at 4:35.62. That was only 1.5 seconds slower than his time swimming for the United States Naval Academy seven years ago, when he still had his sight.
At the same event last week where he set his 400-meter record, he also set the world record for fully blind swimmers in the 100-meter freestyle at 57.75 seconds. He is expected to be a top contender for a gold medal in London for that event, MSNBC reported.
After the race, when the names of those 14 athletes who qualified for the London games were announced, Snyder's name was called 12th. His brother Mitchell walked him over to the group of selected swimmers.
"As I was walking him over, I was just staring down at the floor. I didn't want to look at anyone because I thought I was going to cry," Mitchell said.
"The moment his name was announced everyone erupted and I guess he got a standing ovation," he added. "He couldn't see it. And I didn't want to see it because I thought I was going to lose it."
Snyder has said before that he hopes his successes would resonate with other disabled athletes.
"All sorts of people have contacted me on Facebook, or by e-mail, or they come up to me in person and say, 'You really inspired us, just by the fact that you've moved forward, that you don't let this thing slow you down,'" he said.
"I want them to see that, hey, you can go out (despite this type of wound) and excel at something – become a really good writer, or a good cook; it doesn't matter," he added.
Snyder will join a group of about 30 military veterans and active-duty personnel who will represent the United States in the Paralympics this summer.
The Paralympics will take place this year in London from August 29th through Sept. 9th.

As some of my faithful readers will recall, a few months ago I went off of Effexor, an effective if somewhat problematic antidepressant. Effexor, as I wrote, has a shockingly brief half-life, and because I was on a miniscule dosage (as I am a delicate flower and can only manage light sprinklings of medication) if I was even fifteen minutes late in taking it I headed into scary Effexor Withdrawal Land, a place no one wants to be. If you're wondering what Effexor withdrawal feels like, rap on your temples with a meat tenderizer while spinning around in a swivel chair and sucking furniture polish through a straw. There you go!
Anyway, because the Effexor was meant to help me through post-traumatic stress, I decided that I would only go on it for a year because after a year apparently your brain forgets all about the bad things and goes back to humming little songs to itself and thinking about pudding. I conveniently forgot, when I chose to go med-free, that my brain is primed for things like PTSD. (There were many, many other people on the street that day, and not all of them spent the subsequent weeks cleaning their cabinets at 4 a.m. and shrieking STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT at their dogs). I also chose to ignore the years of depression and anxiety prior to the car-crash incident. I was all better, I decided. No more pills for me!
Can you see where this is going?
I remained drug-free for ten of the darkest weeks in recent memory. Here's a tip: if you're going to go off of medication, don't do it in the winter, right smack dab in the holidays, when you're financially strapped and trying to buy a house. (Actually, if you're me, the lesson should probably be: don't do it at all.) As I approached the lowest of the low moods I wrote this post, and told the world about my filthy pants and oversized shoes and in doing so sounded like a pervert clown, and yet was rewarded with many, many people's boundless sympathy and support. Shortly after this I had what some might call a breakdown, if they were feeing melodramatic, or an attack of neurasthenia, if they were in a Victorian mood. Whatever it was, it felt neither colorful nor historically relevant. All I remember from the Worst Day Ever is that I called Scott and said, "If you knew how bad I felt, you'd come home right now." And he did.
I felt that I was strong enough to go without drugs, but after a few days of complete misery I cried uncle and ran to my psychiatrist. I didn't want to see this psychiatrist again. The biggest reason was that she doesn't take insurance. When I had first seen her this wasn't so big an issue; I was making money at the time, her rate wasn't all that astronomical, and anyway I only saw her twice a year. But then as the years passed, and my insanity showed no signs of abating, I thought twice about seeing her. First of all she always called me Linda. I think the psychiatrist's credo should be Know Thy Patient's Name. Also she took notes about me into her voice recorder while I was in the room. "Linda has a long history of depression, marked with secondary anxiety. Also, Linda is wearing clown shoes. And should really have showered before leaving the house. What was Linda thinking?"
Despite my misgivings about this doctor and her new THREE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAR charge for each session, I went back to her. "Why on earth!" I can hear you shrieking. I think you're also wringing your apron with both hands, and you just dropped the freshly baked pie all over the linoleum.
I went back because I knew her, and I didn't have the energy to find someone new and go over the whole story all over again. I went back because it was easy, and as much as I'm poor and cheap, I was also lazy and sick.
It was a mistake, though. She decided, during our (expensive) session, that in fact I was bipolar. She had been hinting at my potential bipolarity for a while. ( "My Potential Bipolarity" will be the name of my rock band. Mine mine mine. Don't you steal it from me.) The bipolar diagnosis is a difficult one to make because the sufferer is more likely to seek help when depressed than they are when in a manic swing, so they're diagnosed with depression. But she was smarter than that! Oh, she was so proud of herself!
Here's why she thought I was bipolar. Are you ready? One, my grandfather might have been (according to her), and two, my heart raced at night. I don't see anything in any of the literature on being bipolar that talks about nightly heart-racing as a symptom; I had rather thought that if I were bipolar I'd be out all night gambling or having sex with shop clerks in dressing rooms. I know I'm generalizing, but sheesh! If you're going to call me manic-depressive, can't I have some fun first?
And sure, my grandfather had more of the colorful madness that the rest of us boring crazy people only aspire to: all-night carousing! Writing his own biblical texts! Conversing directly with God! But I'm not my grandfather, and thank goodness for that because I don't think Scott would want to be married to a 100-plus-year-old Italian guy who also happens to be dead.
So I disagreed, but she was insistent, and put me on a medication called Lamictal. And then I was off to Amsterdam, and didn't think much about what this would mean, this traveling while on a brand-new drug.
Here's another tip: don't go on a new medication before traveling. The best I can say about the Lamictal is that it didn't work. The worst I can say about it is it made me intensely, miserably ill. For the entire trip. Every morning I had to get up early to drink gallons of water just so that the nausea would abate enough so I could leave the room. I felt awful all day. I wanted to go out and carouse, as our sponsors were (I guess) expecting us to tell of our adventure-filled days and liquor-soaked nights, but I could barely manage one museum before a nap, and then at dinner I could manage maybe one beer. And Melissa would pat me on the head and say, "It's okay if you're not a partier," and I would try to say, "I'm not, it's true, but this is a little weird," only I couldn't get the words out because I was falling asleep. My dad wondered why I needed to nap every afternoon as much as he did. I mean, a 70-year-old getting over heart surgery, sure! Nap all you want! But a 37-year-old? That's just sad.
Then I got home and told my psychiatrist what happened. Her response: "Oh, you can't drink with Lamictal. I didn't tell you that? It causes extreme alcohol intolerance. Oh, no no no no. That would make you quite sick." She then posited that maybe, hmm, I wasn't bipolar after all, maybe I had one of those, what do you call them, anxiety disorders. Yet somehow, instead of kicking her in the teeth, I handed her another three hundred and fifty-dollar check and got out of there.
I didn't want to write about this on the blog for a few reasons. Sometimes I wish I had never opened up this particular can of brain-worms. The more I've divulged, the more I've felt pressured to continue this level of intimacy, and that sometimes makes me want to hide under my bed. Also, writing about mood disorders tends to bring out, well, the mood-disordered, and then they write to me and ask for advice. And I don't give advice to people I don't know. I don't believe it's helpful. I don't want that responsibility. And I can barely manage to email my friends, much less strangers in crisis.
On the other hand, not writing about it has brought on some kind of weird blog-malaise. It's hard to push past all the stuff I don't want to talk about to get to anything else that's fun or interesting. And even if I haven't written about this directly, I've read my past few months of posts and I think it's evident that I have not been at my sunniest. So I needed to get this out there.
I kept waiting to write about all this when I was on the other side, when I could look back and laugh about what a mess those few months had been. It's still pretty messy, though. It's not as bad as I was, but I'm not 100 percent. And I know I could go back on medication, but I don't want to. I've had enough of side effects. I don't have prescription drug coverage. And I just don't want to.
I'm fiddling around with nutritional therapy, and I would say more about that but I'd bore you to tears. (Don't believe me? Amino acids! No more sugar! STOP CRYING!) Although nothing's offered a dramatic, Effexor-style cure, I do feel better. And I know this is an unsatisfying post that could really use a triumphant finish. I do wish I could give you one of those.

Policy & Funding | Research
Across-the-board cuts in federal spending have already had "immediate, detrimental effects" on research universities, including losses in personnel, a diminished capacity for purchasing equipment, a drop in productivity and cuts to research programs. And it's having a serious, negative impact on students as well, according to a new report.
The report, "Survey on Sequestration Effects: Selected Results from Private and Public Research Universities," was a joint effort of the Association of American Universities, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities and The Science Coalition. It involved survey data from 171 public and private research institutions in the United States.
Among the major findings:
According to the report, staff cuts have included:
Those numbers don't tell the full story though. Uncertainty about the future is leading to secondary effects, including a loss of productivity among lead researchers as they scramble to understand the new situation and plan for the future.
According to one survey participant cited in the report: "Not only are we experiencing diminished funding overall and reduced budget periods for existing and new awards, but we are also observing a general loss in productivity as principal investigators, researchers, and research administrative staff scramble to interpret new agency limitations and figure out how to reallocate resources with a reduced budget without significantly changing scope."
Uncertainty is also rippling through the student population and causing some to reevaluate their career choices, even as the Obama administration is advocating for greater numbers of graduates in STEM disciplines.
Said one survey respondent: "These factors contribute to low morale for our research community, particularly among graduate students and junior faculty who are questioning career choices. Some graduate students have dropped out of programs this year or are considering leaving in favor of consulting, startups, and other non-academic careers."
The cuts have also led to a reduction in graduate student admissions among 23 percent of institutions reporting in.
Additional detrimental effects cited by survey respondents included:
"The results from the sequestration survey are an early indicator of the devastating impact that sustained cuts to research and higher education will have on the economy and the United States' role as a global innovation leader," according to the report's authors. "Research university leaders from both public and private universities express deep concerns about both the short-term impacts on current research and the long-term effects on future research and the scientific enterprise."
The complete report is freely available in PDF form online.

Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin
|Texas writer John Alexander Graves III was born August 6, 1920, in Fort Worth. He received a B.A. from Rice University in 1942 and then served in the U. S. Marine Corps during World War II. After being wounded while serving in Saipan, Graves returned to the United States and enrolled at Columbia University; he completed an M.A. in literature in 1948. From 1948-50 Graves taught English at the University of Texas at Austin. Following that, he worked as a freelance writer and travelled to Mexico, Spain, England, and other areas. In 1958, Graves married Jane Cole, a designer for Neiman Marcus; they have two daughters, Helen and Sally. Graves was an adjunct professor of English at Texas Christian University from 1958-65. He then spent three years working for Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall as a consultant and writer on preservation and conservation of the Potomac River Basin.
|Home Place: A Background Sketch in Support of a Proposed Restoration of Pioneer Buildings in Fort Worth, Texas was published in 1958. As a freelance writer, Graves was published in The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, Holiday, The New Yorker, and Town and Country, among other periodicals. His short story "The Green Fly" was reprinted in Prize Stories 1955: The O. Henry Awards, and "The Aztec Dog" was included in the 1961 edition of Prize Stories. Graves's first and best-known book, Goodbye to a River, was published by Knopf in 1960. A personal and historical account of a stretch of the Brazos River, Goodbye to a River won the 1961 Collins Award of the Texas Institute of Letters and earned Graves a reputation for writing in a naturalistic style about the relationship between people and land. The Water Hustlers, a book about the impact of water resource development on the environment in California, Texas, and New York, was published by the Sierra Club in 1971. Graves's contribution to the book was titled "Texas: You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and examined the 1968 Texas Water Plan.
|In 1970, Graves moved from Fort Worth to live in a house he had constructed on 400 acres of land near Glen Rose, Texas. That land, which he called Hard Scrabble, was the subject of his next major book. Written in the same vein as Goodbye to a River, Hard Scrabble: Observations on a Patch of Land (1974) is a collection of essays incorporating physical description, history, and philosophical comments, as well as fictional characterizations. Hard Scrabble, like Goodbye to a River, won a Texas Institute of Letters Collins Award.
|Over the next few years, Graves continued to write essays and short pieces for publication. He wrote the text for Texas Heartland: A Hill Country Year (1975), which was a book of photographs taken at Paisano Ranch by Jim Bones, Jr., as well as the introduction to Landscapes of Texas: Photographs from Texas Highways Magazine (1980). A collection of essays Graves wrote for Texas Monthly magazine also was published in 1980, under the title From a Limestone Ledge: Some Essays and Other Ruminations about Country Life in Texas.
|Other published works by Graves include The Last Running: A Story (1974), a fictionalized version of a segment of Goodbye to a River that was first published in Atlantic Monthly in June 1959 and reprinted in The Best American Short Stories 1960; and Blue and Some Other Dogs (1981), taken from From a Limestone Ledge. Graves contributed to The American Southwest, Cradle of Literary Art (1981) and wrote the forewards to A Thomason Sketchbook: Drawings (1969) and James T. De Shields' Cynthia Ann Parker (1991), among others. He provided the text for Of Birds and Texas (1986) and published another version of that text as Self-Portrait with Birds: Some Semi-Ornithological Recollections (1991).
|John Graves's papers were acquired by the HRHRC in 1975 and 1976 through William Wittliff of the Encino Press. More information about John Graves and his work may be found in an interview with Patrick Bennett, published in Talking with Texas Writers: Twelve Interviews (College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 1981), and in the Dictionary of Literary Biography Yearbook: 1983 (Gale Research Co., 1984).
|The John Graves papers consist of typescript drafts with holograph revisions, research notes, correspondence, and page proofs relating to Graves's work, primarily his books Goodbye to a River and Hard Scrabble, but also his contributions to The Water Hustlers and Texas Heartland: A Hill Country Year, as well as short pieces written for Holiday, Atlantic Monthly, American Heritage, and other magazines. Graves's original groupings of drafts, research material, and correspondence about a work have been retained and are arranged by title.
|Graves's best-known book, Goodbye to a River, was an outgrowth of an article commissioned by Sports Illustrated and eventually published in Holiday magazine. Drafts and correspondence relating to that article, "A Piece of River," are present in the collection. Correspondence with Graves's agent John Schaffner and with Harold Strauss, Alfred A. Knopf, and others at Knopf publishers follows the writing and publication of the book. Included with the correspondence are letters between Graves and J. Frank Dobie, along with a draft of Dobie's review of the book. Designer Carl Hertzog's layouts and correspondence regarding the book are also present. Along with Hard Scrabble material, there are drafts and correspondence relating to its publication in condensed form in Esquire.
|A joint effort with noted Texas nature photographer Jim Bones, Jr., Texas Heartland: A Hill Country Year is represented by drafts by both Bones and Graves and correspondence between Graves, Bones, and publisher Frank Wardlaw. Accompanying correspondence, research material, and drafts of Graves's contribution to The Water Hustlers, a book about water resource development, are reviews of the book and Graves's research for an updated later edition.
|Research material, correspondence, and drafts of Graves's articles for Holiday about Rice University, Carlsbad Caverns, and the Mexican border are present. An article about artist Clara Williamson is accompanied by notes from Graves's interview with her. A piece on John W. Thomason, Jr., written as an introduction for A Thomason Sketchbook: Drawings and also published in Southwest Review, includes photocopies of sketches by Thomason.
|In a talk delivered at an HRHRC-sponsored gathering of Knopf authors in September 1995, Graves discussed his thoughts on his association with Knopf publishers.
|Other manuscripts at the HRHRC relating to Graves and his work may be found in the Margaret Cousins, James Frank Dobie, and Genesis West collections. In addition, the Center's Art Collection houses drawings by John Groth for The Last Running.

Much has been said in the last week or so about Genealogy as a Profession and genealogy as a hobby. Having performed genealogical research over the last 15 plus years, I believe I currently fall in the latter category, until the time I have some sort of professional certification to verify my level of expertise. (That's all I'll say about that for now.) I will say, though, I have been a Professional in two other industries: the Financial industry and Archival Sciences (my current profession). These very divergent industries actually have a thread that ties them together: Research. In both industries, solid research and the ability to glean seemingly unrelated information into usable form are the cornerstones of solid professional work. A lot rides on the abilities of the person doing the research to locate information, arrange that information into a usable format, describe it for both professional, and sometime non-professional, audiences and make that information accessible.
This is also what we do in the Genealogical industry. What sets the Genealogical industry apart is it's HEART. I know no other professional community that supports its members in such a manner. It makes no difference whether you are off-line or on-line; people in the genealogical community truly CARE about each other. It is that genuine care and concern that creates the conduit through which so much information passes.
Today, I am thankful for the generosity of Denise Crawford, who lives in Ohio. I do not know Denise, other than her email address. Why am I mentioning her? Denise's name came up on a website for look ups for an obscure book of cemetery headstone inscriptions in a tiny cemetery in Ohio. Her simple email to me this morning was the greatest gift I've received in a very long time. Here's the excerpt from the email:
"I am happy to help -
pg. 227
Bloomfield Cemetery, South Bloomfield Twp
Stone fence enclosure
John Richards, 1784 - 1847
Mary Richards, 1785 – 1855"
I've looked for this tiny bit of information for more than 10 years. That's not the best part. THIS is the part that proves to me our genealogical heart beats as one:
"Knox County, Ohio Will Abstracts 1808-1877, vol. 1
John Richards, date: 23 Aug 1847, Box: 18 File:278, Bk:B pg.281-282
brothers widow Mary, two nephews Edmund & Abner Richards
*you can request a copy of this will and the information listed below from the Knox County Probate court.
Ohio Wills and Estates to 1850: An Index
John Richard, W-1847, KN, wbB p281; cpmb0 p615
KN = Knox County
W = will
wb = will book, will record
cpmb - Common Pleas Court Minute Book
p = page
Merry Christmas, hope this is what you needed."
What I needed? Seriously?!! Denise took a few extra minutes and found for me something I would have had to go to Ohio to find. This 'extra' minute on her part provided for me a key to a document I've searched for a very long time. And I have no doubt she provided this information because she knows how fickle research can be. You think you found the right thing, and it turns out to be wrong. Or it's right, but not what you expected.
I know Denise is not alone. There are hundreds of Denises out there, corresponding with strangers asking for help. Heck, even I went to a cemetery to take pictures of headstones for someone I didn't know (at the time) because I knew if the shoe was on the other foot that I would appreciate the time and effort it took to do that.

Reviews (6)
My dog was having problems with his back legs and hip, a popping noise every time he try to run, and limping in pain, we started him on one a day Natural Stride Chews, after two week he was running again, no pain, no popping.
"Updated Review"
My Pyrenees Akbash cross no longer walks with a limp. He is out patrolling our property and chasing the coyotes at full speed with no repercussions.
"It helps Gabby"
Gabby was having hip problems and I started on this medication about a year ago. It helps her to keep active. She is a seven year old Shih-Apso.
"Works Excellent"
My Pyrenees Akbash cross was having trouble walking on his left rear leg - vet diagnosed him with arthritis. Tried other supplements with no luck. He stopped using his leg totally. Tried the Vet Strength Hip & Joint Supplement with skepticism. My dog now walks on his leg again although with a limp - he is walking on it and getting stronger. I was amazed and keep him on this daily. I am on an automatic shipment plan now. The only con I have found is they are very hard and so I soak them overnight and put the water and nuggets on his food. Package recommends microwaving to soften but my dog is too picky and wouldn't eat them that way. I highly recommend this product.
"Miracle For Rinnie"
We are giving them our 2 senior dogs but to Rinnie, our chow shepherd, it has been a miracle. She was chewing at all of her joint, behind, tail and leg joints and that has stopped, totally stopped. We keep her on the 2 a day dose. We had tried many other supplements before this and had no luck.
"It works!"
That product works fantastically well on my 12 yr old lab. He was on other joint supplements for the past 4 years but was starting to have a hard time getting up after laying down and climbing the stairs. After 1 week on the chews, I could already see some improvement. He has been on it for over 4 months and he moves like a 2yr old again!! definitely worth every penny if you love your dog!!

Water management is key to producing quality products, reducing environmental fines, and eliminating unnecessary downtime.
Here are three examples of how Rain for Rent's experience solved our customer's liquid handlings needs at food processing plants:
A 200,000+ bpd refinery underwent maintenance including turnaround of the permanent cooling tower and relining the cooling tower basin. Read more...
Temporary bypass performs beyond expectations over two years. Read more...
A dairy processor remains operational throughout certification test using LakeTank®, saving $20,000 in transportation costs. Read more...
Managing your Food Processing plant is a full time job. Rain for Rent has the products and experience to help you manage liquids during regular maintenance, mandated government testing, or emergency situations. Get a quote or learn more.
Liquid Storage
Local/State Government laws require "leak" testing of certain storage ponds. In order to provide a temporary holding pond during the testing period, Rain for Rent can supply tanks from 21,000-gallons to over 1.5-millions gallons as alternative storage.
Wastewater Transfer
Sometimes liquids end up in undesirable places. Rain for Rent has the capability of pumping and transporting large amounts of liquid in short time frames.
Sludge Dewatering
Filtering solids from liquids can be a difficult process. Rain for Rent has a variety of filtration equipment and the experience to separate and filter heavy solids from liquid.
Land Application of Effluent
Mary irrigation systems are available for sale or rent to help disburse your liquid effluent.
Effluent Bypass Pumping
Rain for Rent can supply an alternative pump station and equipment to temporarily bypass to your existing system during regular maintenance, or when permanent pump failure occurs.
Flow Line Capacity
Often times we find customers in old and even newer food processing plants in need of high volume discharge capabilities. The effluent piping may be sized correctly for a 24-hour period, but there are often short periods when extremely high volumes need to be discharged. In order to keep the plant at capacity, Rain for Rent can supply supplemental storage to subsidize the high flow and later release the effluent and lower flows.
Having a water management plan is a pivotal factor to the success and quality of your plant. Let us know below how we can help you.
