Asteroid Misses Earth by Only 17,200 Miles
Copied Article
An asteroid, half the size of a football field, came remarkably close to the earth on February 15, 2013. It passed between the planet and currently orbiting communication and weather satellites, about 17,200 miles away.
Even as asteroids go, this one was relatively small. Scientists believe that an asteroid 6 miles in diameter hit the earth many years ago, causing extensive geological damage. If the asteroid that recently missed us had hit the earth, it would release the energy of 2.4 million tons of TNT and wipe out an area of 750 square miles.
In fact, something like that did happen in 1908 when it is believed an asteroid or meteor fragment penetrated the earth's atmosphere and exploded five miles above the ground around the Tunguska River in Siberia. The blast flattened an estimated 80 million trees for 830 square miles with a force 1,000 times greater than the atomic bomb blast at Hiroshima, Japan.
The likelihood of this happening, scientists tell us, is once in every 1200 years. To date, scientists have recorded nearly 10,000 near-earth objects that have passed by our planet. Rocks from space hit the Earth's atmosphere on a daily basis. Car-sized objects arrive every couple of weeks. About 100 tons of space material hits the Earth every day, but most of it is harmless, sand-grain-sized particles.
Quite often, when people hear news of a disaster their first question is, "Where was God?" Author and pastor John Piper counters with the positive side of that question. He asks, "Where was God in 2012 when. . .
• Nine million planes landed safely in the United States?
• The world revolved around the sun so accurately that it achieved the winter solstice perfectly at 5:12 a.m. December 21 and headed back toward spring?
• The sun maintained its heat and its gravitational pull precisely enough that we were not incinerated or frozen?
• No new plague like the Black Death swept away a third of our race?
• Over three million healthy babies were born in America?
These are certainly things to consider when we think about God's sovereignty!
As Herman was driving down the freeway, his cell phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280 Interstate. Please be careful!"
"It's not just one car," said Herman. "It's hundreds of them!"

An erry silence fell across Gethsemane that night
Anticipating on a horrible event that would take place at first light
How could one of Jesus' disciples betray Him in such a way?
For after all, His only crime was to love him day after day!
Perhaps Judas thought at first, Jesus won't have to pay the price
They will find some other soul to sacrifice
But for a mere thirty pieces of silver,
Judas kept his promise and the man called Jesus, He would deliver
Sealing his fate with a kiss on Jesus' face
That very moment Judas completely fell from grace
Being mocked and ridiculed, spit upon and tortured, Jesus bore the cross
Only to bleed and die
For you and I
Taking the keys of hell and unlocking the doors
He arose on Easter morn, giving us an everlasting life for ever more.
Hot Potatoes
Turning Point Daily Devotional
Copied Article
Lest Satan should take advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Corinthians 2:11
Workers in a potato processing plant in Athens, Greece, were startled to see two odd looking potatoes mixed into a shipment from Germany. The two objects were World War II-era hand grenades. Bomb-disposal experts neutralized the weapons, and Greek police investigated the incident.
None of us knows when the devil is going to toss a couple of grenades into our daily routines. The apostle Paul warned that Satan will try to tempt us because of our lack of self-control (1 Corinthians 7:5). He will try to take advantage of us if we're not alert to his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). He will try to hinder us in our work (1 Thessalonians 2:18). He will buffet us with thorns to our flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7).
But his plans backfire when we turn to the Lord and take our stand on Scripture. Times of difficulty are the means by which God stretches our faith and teaches us anew to trust Him and obey. Turn your pressures into prayers and put on the whole armor of God. That's how to withstand the devil's grenades.
Times of adversity can drive us closer to the Lord than times of ease, comfort and pleasure.
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He finally went to the doctor and was fitted for hearing aids which restored his hearing to nearly 100%. The elderly gentleman returned to the doctor for a one-month check up.
The doctor asked, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be very pleased that you can hear again."
The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times already!"
An Escort Through the Valley
Written by: Albert Lee
Copied Article
I've heard people say, "I'm not afraid of death because I'm confident that I'm going to heaven; it's the dying process that scares me!" Yes, as Christians, we look forward to heaven but may be afraid of dying. We need not be ashamed to admit that. It is natural to be afraid of the pain that comes with dying, of being separated from our loved ones, of possibly impoverishing our families, and of regret over missed earthly opportunities.
Why don't Christians need to be afraid of death? Because Jesus was raised from the grave, and we who are in Christ will also be raised. That is why in 1 Corinthians 15:56-57, Paul proclaimed: "The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
The dying process itself is but an escort that ushers us into eternity with God. As we "walk through the valley of the shadow of death," we can have this confidence from God's Word: "You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me" (Ps. 23:4). The picture here is of the Lord coming alongside us, giving comfort and direction as He escorts us through the dark valley to the "house of the Lord." There we will dwell with Him forever (v.6).
Think of just crossing a river,
Stepping out safe on that shore,
Sadness and suffering over,
Dwelling with Christ evermore! —Anon.
Death is the last shadow before heaven's dawn.
Just Think

You're here not by chance,
but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you
and made you the person you are.
He compares you to no one else.
You are one of a kind.
You lack nothing
that His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here
at this time in history
To fulfill His special purpose
for this generation.

"WHERE is my SUNDAY paper?" the irate customer calling the newspaper office loudly demanded, wanting to know where her Sunday edition was.
"Ma'am," said the newspaper employee, "today is Saturday. The Sunday paper is not delivered until tomorrow, on Sunday."
There was quite a long pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a ray of recognition as she was heard to mutter, "Oh. . . . so that's why no one was at church today."
Copied Poem
I think that God will never send,
a gift so precious as a friend.
A friend who always understands
and fills each need as it demands.
Whose loyalty will stand the test
when skies are bright or overcast.
Who sees the faults that merit blame
but keeps on loving just the same.
Who does far more than creeds could do,
to make us whole, to make us true.
Earth's gifts a sweet enjoyment lends,
but only God can give a friend.

Seven Wonders of the World
Copied Article
A group of students were asked to make a list that they thought were the current Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:
Egypt's Great Pyramids
Taj Mahal
Hoover Dam
Panama Canal
Empire State Building
St. Peter's Basilica
China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:"
to touch
to taste
to see
to hear
to feel
to laugh
and to love
The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. A gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be bought nor are they made with man's hands.
Matt's father picked him up after school and asked, "So how did the school play tryouts go? What part did you get?"
Matt enthusiastically announced, "My part is a man who's been married for 50 years."
"That's great son," the father replied. "Keep up the good work and before you know it, you'll get a speaking part."

My brother Ricky lived eighteen months after being diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I went with him on several occasions to his chemo treatments. I saw Ricky and many others sitting in a room hooked up to machines while taking their treatments. Recently, I read a news report about RonWear clothing and how it allows people to stay warm and comfortable while undergoing chemotherapy, dialysis, or infusion. I hope this article will be useful to you or someone you know.
The Making of RonWear
Written by: Deb Stanzak
Copied & Submitted by: Pat Lewallen
I have spent 32 years in retail as a merchandiser and manager. I have been a seamstress since I was 10 years old; sewing everything I wore in high school and college! My first love was fashion design but changed my major to merchandising at Kent State due to the fact that jobs in the 80's were more prominent in retail clothing!
Unfortunately, I saw my retail experience and my care giving come together through my family's illnesses. In 2001 my husband was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of the blood in the bone marrow; he began chemotherapy immediately. In 2004, my brother (Ron) went into the ER on March 3, and our mother, with whom he lived with, went into the ER on March 4. He had complications of diabetes, and she had congestive heart failure. His diabetes led him to renal failure and dialysis in that year, and my mother getting multiple blood transfusions.
My husband started chemotherapy and I found this need for a garment to keep them warm, dignified (not having to disrobe to connect to their port) and a need for easy access to the machines. I actually purchased a fleece pullover for my brother Ron, put a slit in the arm and inserted a zipper so he could stay warm in the treatment center, and unzip easily to connect to his fistula. The first day Ron wore it he said to me "Deb, you HAVE to manufacture this! The patients all want one and the nurses love the idea!"..."you'll be a millionaire"! I'll never forget that conversation. My reply was "how can I develop this when I am taking care of you, mom and my husband?"
But nevertheless, I went home and started working on the designs...deciding to call it RonWear, after my brother, who was consistently bugging me to create this line of clothing!!! As all three got more ill, I put the RonWear down for a couple years, and resumed it after my husband passed away in January 2008. As my 13 year old son says "we can still help people, but we don't have to take care of them." We lost four of our relatives one after another in a short time, my husband's father passing away 10 days after my husband. My son and I are hoping we CAN help people with ports make their lives easier with RonWear, a legacy that was meant to be....for my family, and now others.
Johnny asked his friend, Tony, whether he had bought his wife anything for Valentine's Day.
'Yes,' was the answer from Tony, 'I've bought her a belt and a bag.'
'That was very kind of you,' Johnny added, 'I hope she appreciates the thought.'
Tony smiled as he replied, 'So do I, and hopefully the vacuum cleaner will work better now.'
What a shock when I discovered that I'd locked my keys in the car. The last straw was learning that roadside service couldn't get a locksmith to me for at least two hours. Finally the guy arrived, tired and annoyed. As he struggled with my door, I joked, "Do those Slim Jim tools come in purse-size?" "Yeah," he muttered, "They're called keys."
The Bible … It's the book that will keep you from sin. And sin will keep you from the book.

Some Days
Copied & Submitted by: Virgil Trotter
Some days I can be strong, I can be weak
I can be proud, I can be meek
I can be gentle or I can be tough
I can explode when I have had enough
Some times I laugh, some times I cry
Some times I lose, but I will always try
I always get up, when I get knocked down
And make a smile, out of a frown
I hope God likes me, the day we meet
If only a chance, to sit at His feet
And be by His side, year after year
While all the bad things disappear
So when life gets tough, and it is hard to be strong
I'll never forget... Heaven is where I belong!
Only Two Dolls
Copied Article
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said," My grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.
"Honey," he said, "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."
I was visiting my grandson last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
"This is the 21st century, Grandpa," he said. "We don't waste money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPad."
I can tell you one thing, that fly never knew what hit it.

Would You Jump Out of an Airplane?
Written and submitted by: Pat Lewallen
What would make my friend Laura Williams jump out of a perfectly safe and sound airplane? She came in the office on a Monday morning and told us about her weekend adventure. Laura was so thrilled and excited and told us all about her new experience. And now she wants to learn to shoot a gun and learn to play the guitar. You see my friend Laura, who is 40 plus some years old, has a bucket list of things she wants to do before she kicks the bucket of death. Laura made her bucket list after our dear friend, Linda Jones, died unexpectedly in her sleep on July 14, 2012. That's why Laura paid to skydive out of an airplane. It was on her bucket list. Would you jump out of an airplane? I know one thing for sure; I'm not jumping!
When I was young, I had a bucket list too, even though it wasn't called that back then. I wanted to learn to snow ski, learn to play tennis, travel to Hawaii, and travel to a Caribbean island. I also wanted to know if God was real. And I wanted to drive to Ohio. And yes, I wanted to get married and have children of my own.
How many of these things have I accomplished? No, I've never been to a Caribbean Island but I have vacationed in the Florida Keys. I did make one trip to Hawaii. And I did marry and have children. I still haven't driven to Ohio… and I really can't remember now why I wanted to go there in the first place.
What's on my revised bucket list now? I want to visit the Florida Keys again and enjoy the beautiful sunsets at Key West. I'm not really counting on going to a Caribbean island because since 9/11, flying is something I don't really like to do. I would like to have time to travel this beautiful country and I would love to see the Grand Canyon. I want to make many more trips to visit my dear sister-in-law, Cathy Walker, in her beautiful mountain cabin near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
What are the top two items on my bucket list today? The second item on my bucket list is to serve my Lord and Savior to the best of my ability. I'm so glad I did find that Jesus is very much real and alive today! He has put a real joy in my heart and gave me a purpose for living. I want to tell others of His great love and His desire that no one would die and go to Hell for all eternity.
My number one bucket list item is still the same as it has been for many years. I want to go home and live in Heaven with Jesus. I want to see my dear loved ones and friends who have gone on to Heaven before me. Oh what a joy it will be to join them in giving praise and worship to my Lord and Savior! Heaven is a real place where Jesus, my real Lord and Savior, lives! I hope that you'll include living with Jesus for all eternity on your bucket list too.
Another New Year
Written and submitted by: Lela Trotter
The year 2012 has been a year filled with blessings from our Lord and a year that has brought sickness, pain and death. As this year ends, I look back to things that happened and wonder what a new year will bring. This past year has been different for me. I started having trouble walking and have had a lot of pain. I started going to doctors, but because of my heart problems and some of my medication, I've been prevented from getting help.
But I've been blessed. I was supposed to have an injection put in my back but my heart doctor said it was too risky. I had to have the injection put in my hips. This was at the same time when lots of people got sick and many died from contaminated steroid shots. I received a letter from Duke Hospital that said my shots came from a batch that wasn't contaminated. The Lord is good. I found out through x-rays that I have things wrong with my back, one of my hips and both knees. But I'm still blessed that my bones are still okay. But I know my problems are small compared to some of yours and my thoughts and prayers are with you everyday. As we look to the year 2013, we can know that God will still be with us in all things.
A senior woman went to the doctor's office where she was seen by one of the younger doctors. After about four minutes in the examination room, she burst out screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room. The older doctor marched down the hallway back to where the young doctor was writing on his clipboard.
"What did you do?!" the older doctor demanded. "Mrs. Terry is 71 years old, has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?"
The younger doctor continued writing and without looking up said, "Does she still have the hiccups?"
A Happy New Year

To leave the old with a burst of song;
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To forget the things that bind you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that's past;
To have the strength to let go your hold
Of the not worth while of the days grown old;
To dare go forth with a purpose true,
To the unknown task of the year that's new;
To help your brother along the road,
To do his work and lift his load;
To add your gift to the world's good cheer,
Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.
The Story Behind the Song "Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus"
Copied Article
Trust is one of those marvelous words that can be used in many different ways. As a noun, it refers to the confidence that we have in someone or something. It can also be an account that is entitled to special treatment and special protection. As a verb, it is the act of placing confidence in someone else. Whether it is a thing or an action, though, we often speak of "levels" or "degrees" of trust. Between the best of friends there is great trust. How much do we trust others? How much do they trust us?
This beautiful hymn was written by Louisa Stead. The story is told that she and her husband were watching their young daughter by the beach. Someone cried out for help. There was a boy in the water. Mr. Stead went to the rescue, but the frightened boy pulled him under the water in a panic. Mrs. Stead and her daughter could only watch from the beach as the boy and her husband drowned.
Louisa Stead was a poor woman and she was hardly able to provide for her daughter. One day when it seemed that all of their resources were gone, she found a gift of food and money left on her doorstep. It was on that day that she sat and wrote these words:
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, "Thus saith the Lord!"
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
Around 1880, Louisa Stead went to South Africa, and served as a missionary some 15 years. She remarried, to Robert Wodehouse of that country. She returned to America in 1895 to recover her health, but once again went into missions in Rhodesia in 1901. Her daughter Lily married D. A. Carson and became a missionary just like her mother.
Louisa Steed died on January 18, 1917 in Penkridge, Zimbabwe. She is buried there also.
An Exercise in Godliness
Written by: David H. Roper
Copied Article
Bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things.
1 Timothy 4:8
The New Year is often the time when we resolve to take better care of ourselves—to exercise, eat right, and perhaps shed some of the pounds we gained over the holidays. Paul says, "Exercise profits a little" (1 Tim. 4:8), so I struggle to be as fit as I can be. I try to eat right, more or less, though I do love fried chicken. I lift weights and walk, but I know that my body is not long for this world. Its strength is fading.
It's better to concentrate on godliness, because it holds promise for this life and the life to come (v.8). Contrary to the old adage, we can take something with us after all.
Godliness may sound dull, scary, and unattainable, but the essence of godliness is simply self-giving love—caring more for others than we care for ourselves. This kind of love is hard to come by, but it's one that grows in the presence of love. We grow loving and more lovely by sitting at Jesus' feet, listening to Him, talking things over—gaining in likeness to the One who is love (1 John 4:8).
Life is a journey into love, it seems to me, and there's nothing so beautiful as a godly soul. Physical exercise is good, no doubt, but there is something far, far better: It is to love.
That I may love Him is my soul's ambition—
Love Him with all my mind and strength and heart,
Seek out His will and choose it, in submission,
And with the joy He only can impart. —Anonymous
Love is godliness in action.

Howdy! I'm Abner. You may have seen me traipsing around town, probably looking like I just came down from the mountains, and haven't had time to spiffen up my rough edges yet. You see, I spend a lot of time out there on Wild Side.1 I must have climbed every mountain from here to Fargone. My friend Vern Acular says I missed a couple, but if I did, I don't think they should count. No sense wandering all over creation looking for a mountain that doesn't want to be found.
Now Vern, you probably haven't seen hanging around down at Elmer's Cafe, on account of he almost never comes Town Side. He's what you call a field researcher. I don't know why. I mean, assuming a field has been found once, why would anybody need to search for it again?
Anyway, Vern's a good person to take along if you find yourself on any kind of backcountry quest. He knows every rock and tree and fire-breathing beastie south of the sun. He's gotten me out of more scrapes than a spatula. Why, I remember the time he saved me from a five-legged catawampus ... but that's another story.
When I'm in town, I like to drop in at Elmer's Cafe for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Not too many people know about Elmer's Cafe — it's a little hard to find, and it's not very big. There are no booths or tables — it's just a counter and nine stools, is all. Sometimes we get a tourist or two come wandering in, but they rarely ever come back for a second visit. You see, the thing is, there are no private conversations at Elmer's Cafe. There are no quiet corners to hide in. Breakfast at Elmer's is not a spectator sport — you've got to participate. By the way, you might want to take one of the left-hand stools, if you can. The stools down at that end are a little further away from the grill, and so when Elmer starts throwing food around, you have a little more time to duck.
Jimmy Fingerbutton lives in town, but I've never seen him down at Elmer's. Matter of fact, I'm not even sure he eats. Maybe he invented some kind of gizmo that keeps him from getting hungry. I hope he doesn't ask me to test that one. Jimmy's inventions are always ingenious, but sometimes even the most groundbreaking gadgets just don't work out the way they looked on paper.
Come to think on it, I've never seen my friend Stretch in Elmer's Cafe, either. That's just as well. After all, we might occasionally cut loose with an ill-considered theory or poorly-researched factual statement, but we can't abide liars. They give the place a bad name.
Say, would you like to hear a story? I've got this soundcast,2 it's called Tall Tales & Shaggy Dogs, but really it's a little bit of everything. We post a new story every Wednesday, and all you have to do to subscribe is to point your favorite soundcast player to this URL. Of course, you can just go to that page and listen to any tale that strikes your fancy, but I hope you'll subscribe, and share it with all your friends. Tell them it's the greatest thing since hot potatoes.
1 In Abner's world, "Town Side" is roughly everything that falls within the city limits, and "Wild Side" is everything that doesn't. But there are exceptions: you can find little bits of The Wild in any unmanicured section of town, and you can find little pockets of civilization in the middle of the wilderness.
2 The word "podcast" is obsolete. Our friends over at Succotash have suggested using "soundcast" instead, and we're happy to oblige.

Yesterday I wrote about pet health insurance, including six companies which offer policies in Virginia. One such company, ASPCA Pet Health Insurance, also publishes a great little brochure titled "101 Things You Didn't Know Could Harm Your Pet." I've noticed this brochure is popular among our clients. If you have not yet gotten your copy, I will tease you with approximately 1/10th of the information inside.
Herewith, Eleven of the 101 Things You Didn't Know Could Harm Your Pet:
- Diet pills
- Fabric softener
- Mothballs
- Liquid potpourri
- Oven cleaner sprays
- Tobacco products
- Avocados
- Coffee
- Macadamia Nuts
- Tea Leaves
- Raw Yeast Dough
Want to know more? Stop by for your brochure, or call Jennifer at 757-583-2619 and ask to have a copy mailed to you.
P.S. Always keep on hand the number for an animal poison control center. These centers charge for their services, but they are worth the cost in an emergency.
- ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center 1-800-426-4435
- Pet Poison Helpline 1-800-213-6680
I promise I'll find something happy to write about next! ~~ Jen

National growth funding worked with a family friend before, and from what i know their situation worked out well. They are located in San Antonio and have a great BBB rating and many good testimonials on google.ReplyDelete

does anybody know how much $$ you can get in a grant. National growth funding offers a variety of products, but i wonder how much to go after?ReplyDelete

Does anyone that is wasting there money with this company actually read the cotract they are signing? THE CONTRACT SAIS IT ALL ONE BIG GIANT DISCLAIMERReplyDelete

does anyone ever ask what percentage of people actually get funded. Barnum Baily said there was a scam born every minute and a sucker to go along with it. Tired of people crying when they get ripped off. There is nothing free in this world. Whoever sends money to these people are STUPID IDIOTSReplyDelete

I was recently called by this company and they originaly asked for $3950 before the conversation was over they had came all the way down to $1500. Boy they must be desperate for money and was told the sooner I get it in the better my chances based on the quarter. I did my research and found out this was completely FALSE. This office in San Antonio has been opened less than a year so don't let the BBB rating fool you. Give it some time.I have applied for my own grant and am happy to say on my own I received a $265,000 grant for my business. You can do it yourself it is easy. The internet can provide you step by step instructions on how to apply and the organizations that are providing the moniesReplyDelete

I don't know much in this field, but here is some good info-ReplyDelete
Every time a budget is made in Washington D.C. there is money set aside to assist people and communities to grow and prosper. These grants are always competitive and can be obtained through your state. If you know where to look, MONEY is there! Here are some examples of grant budgets set forth by the federal government for 2010.
Agriculture.........................$25,661 million
Economic Development.......$13.8 billion
Energy...............................$26,394 million
Firefighters/Police................$42,713 million
Labor..................................$13.3 Billion
Women...............................$62,254 million
And so much more!!!!!!
Grant money is money given away by Foundations, Associations, Philanthropists and Government Funding Agencies in the attempt to stimulate economic growth. This money does not require credit checks, collateral, security deposits or cosigners; it is non-taxable, free of interest and never needs to be repaid!
Each year, these funding sources must allocate funds to businesses, in the form of grants, in order to secure their tax benefits. Eligible businesses can be 501c3 Non-Profit Organizations, small to mid-sized businesses, even large corporations. Due to Small Business Owners being critical to the success of the local, state, national and global economies, over 1 million Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners receive grant funding each year.
Here are several Facts and Statistics about Grants in the United States:
* In 2009 there is over 100 Billion Dollars available in grant money
* Grants are available for Business Start-up, Expansion, Education, Housing, Inventions, etc.
* 30 Billion Dollars is available for Small Businesses
* 9 Billion Dollars is available for Entrepreneurs
* Each year, over 1 million Entrepreneurs receive Grants to start or expand their businesses
* 2 out of every 3 businesses are started by women!
* Women have a 75% better chance of success in business
* There is over 20 Billion Dollars available for Women
* There is over 1 Billion Dollars available for Minority Business Start-ups

I AM SADDEND BY THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE GRANT PROCESS MY BUISNESS HAS RECEIVED THOUSANDS OVER THE YEARS FROM GRANTS. NOW I CANT PERSONALY VOUCH FOR THIS PATICULAR COMPANY BUT I CAN SAY THAT I HAVE HIRED COMPANIES THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THIS IN THE PAST AND HAVE HAD GREAT SUCCESS WITH THEM. BEFORE I HIRED THEM FREINDS AND FAMILY BOTH TRIED TO CONVINCE ME NOT TO BUT I DID ANY WAY AND IM SURE GLAD I DID I NOW KNOW MOST PEOPLE ARE NEGATIVE AND SCARED BY NATURE OF OPPORTUNITIES SO THEY TRY TO STOP OTHERS FROM TAKING THOSE SAME OPPORTUNITIES SO THEY DONT FEEL BAD THEMSELVES BY WATCHING OTHERS BECOME SUCCESFUL. I CONSTANTLY HEAR PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT BUISNESSES LIKE THIS BUT WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE ONES WHO DIDNT TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY. I HAVE'NT HEARD ON HERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE SOMEONE WHO BECAME THEIR CLIENT AND POSTED A COMPLAINT,UNTILL THEN I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP OUR MINDS OPEN TO POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITIES JUST MY OPINIONReplyDelete

I have been waiting on a grant from NGF for almost a year!!! How long did it take you? Are you sure you are a client and not a manager? How do we know you are not trying to build up NGF's reputation? I am just saying this because we feel we got scammed out of over $4,000. We have been waiting and waiting and they always tell us that they are working on our grants and that they are waiting on the funders. How do I know that they are not laughing all the way to the bank with my money? I don't. I have seen so many complaints about them here lately. Even on BBB there is three complaints against them. So tell me anonymous who are you working for?ReplyDelete

WOW! I HVE A HARD TIME EXCEPTING ANYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT ANYONE SINCE YOU APPAERANTLY DONT REALLY PAY NOT CLOSE ATTENTION, BUT APPARENTLY NOT ATTENTION AT ALL. AGAIN FOR YOUR CLARIFICATION BECAUSE IM QUITE SURE EVERYONE ELSE ON HERE WHO CAN READ ALREADY KNOWS WHAT I SAID THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE NOT WORKED WITH THIS COMPANY BEFORE, I COULDNT CARE LESS ABOUT THIS COMPANY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER! ..LET THAT SOAK IN YOUR HEAD OK NOW I HAVE WORKED WITH OTHER COMPANIES AND SOME PRVT GRANT WRITERS AND HAVE HAD SOME SUCCESS I HAVE ALSO HAD SOME BAD EXPERIENCES AS WELL. NOW MY SUGGESTION TO YOU WOULD BE YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION, VERY CLOSE ATTENTION BEFORE YOU EVER MAKE ANY TYPE OF BUISNESS TRANSACTIONS AGAIN. BECAUSE YOUR RESPONSE TO MY POST WAS A LITTLE DISTRURBING TO THINK YOU ACTUALLY RUN A BUISNESS. I WISH YOU WELLReplyDelete

WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT WITH ALL THEIR RESOURCES DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS COMPANY IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE DISHONEST AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE OTHER THAN THEIR SELVES AND IN TODAYS ECONOMIC TIMES PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING TO PAY THEIR OWN BILLS AND THEY ARE FEEDING OFF OF PEOPLES HOPES OF GETTING HELP. OBVIOUSLY THE SALES REPS THEIR DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR ETERNAL SOULS OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T WORK THERE. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THERE IS SOME DECENCY OUT THERE AND SOME GOVERNMENT AGENCY DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THEM. ITS GETTING CLOSE TO THEM CLOSING DOWN AND JUST STARTING ANOTHER COMPANY, ANOTHER SCAM. I CALL ON ANY AGENCY OUT THERE THAT IS AMERICAN AND WILL DO JUSTICE TO ALL OF THESE POOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST THERE MONEY. OR WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE CALLING THE MEDIA. TRY KENS 5 THEY LOVE TO INVESTIGATE STUFF LIKE THIS. SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING PLEASE. STOP THESE EVIL PEOPLE. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THERE OWN INTERESTS AND THERE OWN FAMILIES. THIS IS A WASTE OF MY TIME.ReplyDelete

Dupont's ETFE - the miracle polymer that's shaping public architecture
Dupont's ETFE - the miracle po...
View 1 Image
May 2, 2007 Dupont's innovative ETFE polymer is 1% the weight of glass. It stretches to three times its normal length without losing its elasticity, has controllable shading and noise insulation properties, and never gets dirty due to the non-stick properties it shares with its cousin Teflon. Laid out in sheets or blown up in pillows, it's being used in a number of fascinating major architectural developments, including the stadium and aquatic centre being built for Beijing's 2008 Olympics. It's developing a reputation as a "miracle polymer" for public architecture.
More information from our friends at Businessweek Online, including some stunning examples of how ETFE is being used around the world.

I've been very neglectful of this blog recently. But I had to come out of hibernation for the painting competition. Regular readers will know from previous posts how much I enjoy this event. for those new readers, every July our village, Ponte a Serraglio, holds a competition in which artists have just that day to paint a local scene. There are put on display in Villa Fiori park, then judged.
It's always a scorching hot day but the trees in the park do provide some much needed shade. It's great fun to wander around looking at the work.
It took me a long time to work out number 36 above. Finally realised it's the bridge. I'm a bit of a traditionalist!
But I do like the fun ones. The swimmers are cute, and there were indeed people splashing in the river to cool off. This next one is very appealing, but the shape of the bridge is wrong. Not that I could paint the bridge myself at all!
I always look for our house, Villa Rosalena, in one of the paintings. Didn't spot it this year, but this one has exactly the view from our window!
Usually very few of my personal favourites win prizes! This year however most of my choices were ranked. Not sure if that means my artistic eye is developing or quite what! It was nice to see the winner was a woman this year.
Here's the rest of the prize winning paintings: From 2nd place downwards.
For previous years:
For details of competition see http://www.borgodegliartisti.com/
Also currently running is theBagni di Lucca Art festival. This opened on July 13th with an excellent evening. Sadly I can't take night time pictures! But I hope to show some of the galleries in another post. For details of this festival which continues throught the summer see http://artfestivalbagnidilucca.org/

This island I live on is long overdue a movement and I don't mean Brexit, I mean the antithesis of Brexit!
With the potential to upset young people, neighbouring nations (and I include Ireland and Scotland in that), Brexit is already making everything feel like a grubby anorak.
Today a group of young people have instigated a march in London. 100,000 are expected to take part, asking for a vote on Brexit with the facts in place, with the solutions laid down from and by the government we have. I'd like to remind everyone that our current government is run by a minority tory party in cahoots with the dup.
Judging by the last large march on Iraq and war, it's highly unlikely Westminster will take much notice. There's only one way to beat ye olde colonialist laissez faire beast and that's to lob a molotov at it!
But I'm not advocating violence, not really. Perhaps some bloody-mindedness instead. I am opposed to all that Farage, Johnson, Gove et all stand for. I am appalled that we have allowed politicians we pay for, like Cameron, to just waltz off and go on their jollies.
Farage & Co belong in the past. Do young people have to wait until they have passed away before justice is served and they enjoy the freedom and rights others before them have had.
I'm not much impressed with this island's lowly sucking up to the likes of Farage, who is nothing but a self-serving tory wannabe toff.
I call upon a revolt by matriarchs. Every little thing you do to instigate change counts. Every thought, every thing you make, bake, talk and take.
Spread the word. The 21st century is for our young and for those who support young people.
Mother Earth and all her little babies. Children first, always.

Texas Statutes, including the Transportation Code
Notable traffic and criminal laws that go into effect on September 1 (unless noted otherwise) include the following:
SB 1257 prohibits use of wireless communications devices (including cell phones) for the first six months after teenagers get their driver licenses. The bill also prohibits passenger bus drivers transporting minors from using wireless communications devices, except in emergencies or when the bus is stopped.
HB 51 requires an ignition interlock device if a driver's blood alcohol level is determined to be .15 or more (upon conviction).
HB 1357 creates a six-month driver license (DL) suspension for a person convicted of providing alcohol to a minor (one year for second offense), and increases the DL suspension to one year for minors who are convicted of a second alcohol offense.
makes it a Class B misdemeanor if a person drives around a barricade where a warning sign or barricade has been placed because water is over any portion of a road, street or highway. It also specifically creates a traffic violation for driving around a barricade put in the roadway because of dangerous conditions.
HB 183 states that all children younger than 5 years of age (old law was younger than 4) and less than 36 inches tall are required to be in a child safety seat system. It also classifies safety seat infractions as moving violations for the first time.
SB 1005 provides that if a driver younger than 25 years of age commits a traffic offense classified as a moving violation, the judge must require the driver to complete a driving safety course-and, if the driver holds a provisional driver license (under 18 years of age), submit to a DPS road test. Failure by the driver to meet this requirement will result in a final conviction for that traffic offense.
HB 1484 specifies that a person commits a traffic offense if they are involved in a crash on the main lane, ramp, shoulder, median or adjacent area of a freeway and don't move their vehicle to an area that minimizes interference with freeway traffic (assuming the vehicle is drivable).
HB 1596 clarifies the definition of neighborhood electric vehicles and motor assisted scooters and allows municipalities to regulate the use of motor assisted scooters on roadways and sidewalks.
SB 1257 disqualifies a person from operating a commercial motor vehicle if the person's driving is determined to constitute an imminent hazard.
HB 754 increases the maximum fine
to $500 for violating laws related to transporting loose material—and
requires all commercial motor vehicles transporting aggregates
or refuse to completely cover the load-carrying compartment.
HB 754 increases the maximum fine to $500 for violating laws related to transporting loose material—and requires all commercial motor vehicles transporting aggregates or refuse to completely cover the load-carrying compartment.
SB 1258 specifies that an original commercial driver license or commercial driver learner's permit expires in five years instead of six years.
HB 87 allows cities to lower residential speed limits from 30 mph to 25 mph in certain instances. This bill took effect immediately.
HB 2257 allows the TxDOT commission to establish a daytime speed limit of 80
miles per hour on I-10 or I-20 in Crockett, Culberson, Hudspeth,
Jeff Davis, Kerr, Kimble,
SB 1670 requires the Department of Insurance, in conjunction with TxDOT and other agencies, to establish a verification program for vehicle insurance in order to try and reduce the number of uninsured drivers.
HB 120 creates an organ donor education and registry program. Eventually, Texans will be able to indicate their wish to become an organ donor when they are issued or renew their driver license or ID card.

In 1982 God showed Gustav Scheller (a Swiss businessman living with his wife, Elsa, in Bournemouth, UK) that it was His plan and purpose to bring the Jewish people back to Israel, and that He would use Gustav to help Him do so. In 1991 the Lord spoke to Gustav in Jerusalem, " Now is the time to start helping my people to return from the land of the north." Gustav understood that the biblical " Land of the North" not only referred mainly to Russia, but included all the countries of the former Soviet Union (fSU). Responding to this word from the Lord, Scheller founded Ebenezer Operation Exodus, an international, interdenominational Christian organization, with the purpose of helping Jewish people return to Israel.
Since its inception, God has enabled Ebenezer to help more than 128,000 Jewish people make aliyah. (The Hebrew word for "going up," as in ascending to Jerusalem.) by sea and on flights sponsored by the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Why Help the Jewish People Return to the land of Israel?
Many Scriptures express God' s promise that one day He will bring His people back to the land He gave them. For example:
" I will bring your descendants from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, ' Give them up!' And to the south, ' Do not keep them back!' Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth." (Isaiah 43:5-6)
" I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again." (Ezekiel 11:17)
" This is what the Sovereign LORD says: ' See, I will beckon to the Gentiles, I will lift up my banner to thepeoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.' " (Isaiah 49:22).
Read more about Scriptural Prophecy Brochure.
The fact that Jewish people are again living as a nation in the land of Israel is evidence of God' s faithfulness to His Word. The restoration of Israel is profoundly significant for the Church and is evidence that we live in " prophetic" times.
Ebenezer Today
Ebenezer started with just three people in 1991, but now has an International Board, 13 bases in the former Soviet Union and 40 offices operating worldwide with a team of over 150 volunteers and staff.
National and regional offices are spread throughout the fSU. The bases coordinate field working teams and volunteers, organize transport requirements, and are the hubs of Operation Exodus in their regions. The offices are vital places of contact for Jewish communities and families, as well as for churches supporting the work of Ebenezer.
In recent years, Ebenezer Operation Exodus has begun to assist Jewish people more actively from the West. In Ethiopia, South Africa, the UK, and now with hub centers in the USA, Ebenezer is supporting aliyah and preparing to help with large numbers of people.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of Ebenezer Operation Exodus is to encourage and help the Jewish people return to the Land of Israel from the land of the north and all other nations, and to proclaim God' s Kingdom purposes for their return.

Lately, the events I attend always start late. It's not funny anymore. Seriously.
How and why do we tolerate such culture of tardiness. We should not.
If you work in a per hour basis or in a company, 5 minutes is the only grace period, 10 minutes is already marked tardy, 15 minutes late is already a cut to your pay and 30 minutes to an hour is already considered absent/ no show. So why are we tolerating this again?
It is so disrespectful of the time of everyone attending the event, I don't care if you are the VIP, the member of the press or even the President of the Philippines. Late is late.
Is logistics your problem ? Say what traffic? If it is important you will do all means to be on time. Unless it is a matter of life and death situation, or emergency case or what, late is late, hate late! Really! We all should!
"Whether it's genetic, conditioned, or the result of your over-scheduling yourself, being late sends a message that your time is more important than the time of those you're meeting. Showing up (on time) is the most important thing you can do in life. So make sure it's on time."Read this article.
The more we tolerate people who are late , the more late everyone will come and no event in the world will ever start on time because everyone will have the thinking that "Oh, the invite says 3pm but no event is always on time anyway, I can come at 9pm."
What if everyone thinks this way? What if you have your day planned on a strict schedule and everyone shows up late? What if you need to catch a flight and you miss your plane because you are "fashionably late". Time to change this mentally so we all can be laid back and not rushing things trying to catch up with one appointment after another.
When everyone is on time everyone can sit back and relax and have a good time!
When you arrive on time, you can do so many things the late people can not!

Today I have a comparison of OPI's I Vant to Be A-Lone Star (index), Butter London's Lady Muck (middle), Essie's Sag Harbor (ring) and Diamond Cosmetics Serendipity (pinky). This picture is 2 coats of each polish without topcoat.
Lady is by far my favorite with the deepest color and the most shimmer (and best formula), Serendipity is the closest in color, while Sag is slightly greener and I Vant is much paler than all the rest. These all have a lovely formula and go on beautifully.
OPI I Vant to Be A-Lone Star is from the Texas Collection (Spring 2011)
I'm not sure what collection Lady Muck came from or when it came out.
Essie Sag Harbor is from the North Fork Collection (Summer 2009)
Diamond Cosmetics Serendipity is from their Spring 2010 Collection.

I keep noticing so many that look at the memes & not only never comment, but are even too stingy to "like". C'mon, folks. If you were even a bit entertained, provoked or engaged, can it hurt y'all to press the dang like button! I won't expect engagement from you guys, tho it would help you all out points-wise, but you may not care about that. But just as a basic sign of respect for all those posting for you! Geez, tis the fuckin' season!
I appreciate and enjoy your posts. That goes for all of you. Sometimes my brain is just tired and I have nothing to offer.
But, you usually leave some kind of like. I don't always have something to say, as hard as that is to believe! & even tho I get no points for it anymore, I am maxed out, I give likes out to help others!
@phxbillcee I try to do that too to encourage others. Just wanted to let you know why I may not have more to offer
@Livinlife that is not only fine but understandable. I'm an extroverted mouth, I almost always have something to say, even if not always witty (tho it usually is, LOL!). That's why I had to learn to fight! But not everyone is me (thank dog!). &, btw, you were definitely not one of the ones I was referring to in this post! You do fine, dear!
@phxbillcee lol you are definitely witty. You've made me laugh many times. Thanks for that!
I always " like " if I see something that I like . Some things I see and I don't care for , and still like bcz someone put the effort to share and bring something into the table .
There are things that not only I don't like but I also find hideous , cheap , drama out of place , degrading to women and men , sad , and a shame to see in a site that I expect better . Those memes or posts I avoid . And if still I run to it some how , I can't " like it ".
As I replied to @Robert Martin below, posts that one doesn't appreciate or that anger one, that's a valid reason to pass on by, I totally understand that. My reason for posting is more for the "lookey lou's" that never hit the like button & never comment. I just feel that that is kinda rude & unappreciative.
A lot of times I do comment if I like it. If not I don't reply.
You were most assuredly NOT who I was singling out! You do participate, & comment far more than you post, which is more than cool. It keeps posts alive! No, you're golden, bro!
Just to illustrate, so far there are 16 views, let's say 15 'cause I may be one. 6 comments & 5 "clicks", & 3 of those that commented also clicked. See what I mean! Sorry, folks, that is just sad, as an orange dude with weird hair once said!
They're not paying attention, out of 6 other visitors, only three gave a shit.
&, so far, that is a very high proportion. Even with my best if I get a quarter of 20-30 views as likes, I feel I scored!
If I look, I touch the buttons. It's all fair in love and war.
Okay Bill, I'm sure I do that sometimes, I will try to do better.
I skip the Like button for about 25% of what I see posted because I have either seen it before or I don't like it because it is not humorous (to me) or offends me. For the other stuff I always use the Like button and I will also write a comment if I can think of something witty.
You are definitely not one of those I am referencing. You do participate, & I can only ask one to participate on posts that interest them for whatever reason. I "like" most posts & replies because I want to "Share the wealth", tho I get no points for it anymore, & as an "attaboy" for taking the time to be involved. I've done that since I joined.
Only after a "dislike" button is provided so both positive AND negative feedback can be administered. Seriously, some of this shit sucks ... so maybe that is why you are getting no response?
You know where the door is. & there is a "dislike" option, as evidenced by my reaction to your comment!
you asked; I answered truthfully. Not my fault you can't handle the truth.
And since the "I'm mad" button still provides points to you as an interaction (and doesn't take them away as it should), I'm not going to use it and put you up a level. Deal with it.
@AtheistInNC Yeah, can't handle the truth, what a joke. & like I give a flyin' fuck what you do. As I said, you know where the door is, if you so choose, won't hurt my feelers!
(& as if I need you to put me up a level! It is to laugh!)
I've been thinking the same thing... I call them lurkers - no comment, no like... They watch the movie then leave without paying or even saying thank you ....
Guilty! My brain likes a lot of these posts, but my thumbs don't care. I'll do better, I promise!
Just because I don't comment doesn't mean I didn't like the meme. If I like it, I'll react to it, almost always with a haha.
The only thing I'd say is, if you liked it at all, just hit that like button. It helps you & the poster, & is only fair payment for your entertainment. Comments can be hard to come up with many times, many folks don't feel comfortable "speaking", so I don't insist on that, but a simple "click" if you liked a post at all is not too much to ask, imo!
Now, if one doesn't like a post, don't like it & pass it by if you want to give no points to the poster. Or, if you really disagree, go ahead & say so, I just ask to keep it to the meme & not the poster. Everybody has different triggers & we all can't be expected to know, recognize or even care about them. remember, all, bad taste is encouraged! If something comes up that you think is way out of line, feel free to PM me. (I am one of the Mods here) If reasonable I will see what I can do, but, remember, your "trigger/butthurt" is someone else's rib-tickler! Be reasonable!
Apathy is strong with some. And not just here - in Life!!
I try to comment or at lease react with a "like" or "laugh" or whatever is appropriate.
But I see posts to which I have literally no reaction. Those ones, admittedly, i just pass by.
& those you should pass by & not give your approval to. You, however, do react, respond & even post. I give you the Official Bill Seal of Approval! LOL!
Okay you are great your ideas and posts are the best. Happy holidays.
It isn't just me I'm speaking about. It affects anyone who takes the time to post. But, thanks for your enlightening input.
@phxbillcee i know of what you speak. Acknowledgement other then a damn a thumbs up is nice.
@Mokvon Oh, man, I am so glad you changed your photo! It always seemed as if you were yelling with that previous one. No offense meant, just the way it struck me.
Ok honey, I got your back...
I used to take offense when I'd get a positive comment but no like, until I realized comments give you more points than likes. I still don't understand why people do that (I'd appreciate it if others could provide some insight on that). If I give a positive comment, I always give a like. If I don't care for the post, I will sometimes comment tactfully why, but usually I just move on. As far as posting without looking at other posts, at times I'm guilty, but I regularly though admittedly intermittently make the effort, though one only has so much time unless you are retired or something.
I feel commenting counts as definite recognition, so can preclude hitting like. I usually do both. My point is more the ones that, on a steady basis, look, possibly "acquire" (which we almost all do with memes) but never acknowledge,...ever. Just seems disrespectful, to me.
@phxbillcee I just post stuff I think is funny. I crack myself up. Anyone else is a side benefit!
Why do you care?
Should be obvious. Folks go to the trouble to post &/or comment, others look & enjoy, it only seems fair to give at least an attaboy as recognition. I'm sure you appreciate participation in your Groups. I feel it's just basic respect, obviously many don't feel that way.
@phxbillcee Sure it's nice to be recognized but I don't follow up on the visitors. They may be there for all kinds of reasons or even accidentally. I don't care if they acknowledge what I've posted. I post for myself and anyone else who is interested, whether they hit "like" or not. I am not interested in points or their respect. When I visit a group I only acknowledge (like) what I actually like. Many times I don't comment (even when I have a comment) because of my particular state of mind at the time. Then there are times like now when I feel compelled to comment. This is a community of many different personalities. Maybe have respect for that. Sorry if this offends Bill... but your post sounds, to me, like ego, point gathering with a touch of bullying.
@BeeHappy Really, you must not have read any of the comments/replies below. Believe what you want. Have a great day!
You're right. I'll work on that.
I'm one of those people. I didn't realize that it was that important to others whether I "liked a post or not", or for that matter, commented. I enjoy the posts, but I'm not a social media junkie and don't even do that on FB. I thought that people were doing that as some kind of competition to see who can get the most likes. Forgive my ignorance.

Let me be completely transparent; I did resist this trend for a while. I used to have a jacket like this one when I was a child, so the moment these jackets started showing up, I immediately said; No thank you.
I am the first to admit when I am wrong and I might have been wrong about this one. I am not on board with every single puffer jacket on the market, but I do believe that the right one can seriously be cool -If you style it the right way-.
I gathered up a few of my ABSOLUTELY favourite ways to style it on the collage above, for a visual reference. For example; If your jacket is slightly on the shorter side, pairing it up with high waisted trousers, vintage jeans and even flare pants, would be the best move. If the jacket is oversized, try use it as the last layering piece on a look, like above a suit for example.
What do you think about this new Winter trend? Yay, or would you rather let it slide? Leave a comment below, I am interested in hearing your thoughts!

Attorney General Fox Stands Up for Montana's Right to Regulate its Mining, Protect its Water
Today, Montana Attorney General Tim Fox announced he and attorneys general from 10 other states have joined an amicus brief protecting the states' role in protecting their waters and in regulating mining activities.
In National Mining Association/Kentucky/City of Pikeville v. the Environmental Protection Agency/Sierra Club, Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Virginia make three points to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
First, that the EPA's guidance memorandum in such activities goes against generally accepted principles pertaining to the cooperative implementation of environmental laws. Montana and others note that the guidance memorandum treats some states differently than others and oversteps the EPA's statutory authority.
In addition, the states contend that the guidance memorandum undermines the state's interests in permitting and regulating surface mining, while each has their own agencies in policies already in place to do so. Moving regulatory authority away from the states would have a significant impact on their environments and economies.
Lastly, the states note a recent pattern on the part of the EPA to undermine the states' regulatory roles in similar state/federal programs, such as in administration of the Clean Air Act.
"Even before the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, Montana already had one of the most comprehensive mine reclamation programs in the country," Attorney General Fox said. "Following the passage of SMCRA, Montana moved quickly to make necessary changes in its state rules so we could fully administer federal legislation. We're concerned about the EPA improperly imposing its own specific rules on the states, instead of developing national standards the states can meet in whatever way is best for them."

Ok, here are some changes that i am suggesting. I didn't just edit them myself (i never do) because i feel that since i am reviewing a 'work in progress' I would rather the owner do that. Once the owner is done, then 'AVAST YE! PREPARE TO BE BOARDED!' Anyway...here's the list:
- you tend to mix your language. I understand that you want him to be aristocratic. Well, aristo's CONSTANTLY use polysyllables (dog residue = canine excrement) (shaved the hair = denuded or depilitated. Yes, i know that many people will not get the words, and probably have to look it up, but that's the point. This rich fuck has EDUCATION. Mrs SnotRag III would positively faint if she heard the word 'shit'..but say 'fecal matter' and she will just wrinkle her nose and proceed to start fluttering her fan in front of her face.
- i woulds't like to be compensated..might sound better as I should like
- we upperclassmen never refer to ourselves as 'me'..that is much too gutteral a word. "I believe that you should reimburse me for ..." should read "I believe that reimbursement is in order here.."...something to that effect.
- I should think that Sir Lord Mittens would welcome the rank of THIRD in the queens royal navy..any reader that happens to compare the ranks (like me) would see that the CAT was a higher rank than Lord Classy. it would be a nice little hidden joke...
- Proper Gentelmen do NOT drink Indian Tea, my good man. Chinese WHITE TEA is much classier and more expensive to boot. ALSO we all know that if you were to shorten it to 'china white' (for the butler OR the cat) ..heheh 'china white' is a type of heroin.
- I love the way you kept playing the same little jokes, with little twists...from letter to letter, thats why i suggested the WHITE TEA...thought it might make a good joke. All in all, I love the idea/concept. Just make it more 'stuffy shirt' (ie pompous, arrogant, self-important) These people are the top of the shit-heap, and they dont smell as bad as everyone else...these qualities and more are what allows persons such as themselves to tolerate scumbags like me...!
- Please for the love of Jesus keep the cat's name as Megatron. The idea of a stuffy aristocrat with a cat named Megatron is ultra lollerskates funny.126.96.36.199 01:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so the font size was too big? It looked about normal size at 200% on my screen, and 150% just a little on the small side, which makes me wonder what other people were seeing it as. It might just be my slightly high resolution or the particular font it's choosing. Though I'm pretty sure comic sans wasn't the effect the article is going for with "cursive", actually being readable would probably be nice. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 03:21, 07 Nov 2007
- Oh dammit, I don't know. I was afraid this might happen because I had trouble choosing the font for the article. At 200% it fills up my entire screen. That little picture on the side looks really snazzy though. Uh, can we split the diff? -- • <-> 03:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- Split the diff? How do you mean? And, which picture? On which side? I'm confused now. It's at least readable here, just. The extra fonts I added were based on some list I found of the script/cursive fonts that people were most likely to have, so at least most people will get the right font. Just not sure if it'll be big enough to read, or maybe even too big. Hmmm. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 03:51, 07 Nov 2007

- What's wrong with something simple such as Times New Roman italic? Or perhaps even Garamond? – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • elk cloner) 04:08 Nov 07, 2007
- There, I gave it a go at fixing it. How do you like it now? – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • elk cloner) 04:20 Nov 07, 2007

- That's what she... JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • elk cloner) 04:30 Nov 07, 2007
- Skull, where? I... I don't see it!
- No, not a skull, a lie - uhn. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • elk cloner) 04:34 Nov 07, 2007
- Well a serif font like times new roman or garamond is more a kind of newspapery font, you really want a script font, like the handwriting of a classy gentleman. The problem with script fonts is that there's no one font that most people have, and the various variations are very inconsistently sized, so to get a set that displays nicely on all people's computers is difficult to do. I checked the script fonts I added with 3 different OSes (windows, OSX and linux) on several different browsers, and they seemed readable on all. If the script fonts are good, we could always add the serif ones to the list of backups if they don't have the script fonts. Having said that, the times new roman does look the part. So basically it's a personal preference thing. Or maybe a choose tag would sort it. Or use a different font for each letter-writer. Or stop thinking too much about the font on one page. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 02:20, 08 Nov 2007
