Company Drivers
The information below provides insight into how working as a Company Driver may meet your expected lifestyle, work into your long-term career plans, and provide the working environment you seek.
What is Company Driver?
Company Drivers are employed by specific companies that maintain its own fleet of trucks. Company Drivers are can be separated into 2 categories: (1) drivers working for trucking carriers that exist for the sole purpose of transporting freight of others, or (2) drivers working for companies that carry its own freight to support its own company's product or service. Company drivers are in high demand, particular among large carriers.
What are some personal characteristics helpful for Company Drivers?
Aside from the personal characteristics needed to be a good truck driver, a Company Driver can be representing a company with thousands of workers in the US and internationally. Therefore, it is helpful for a Company Driver to keep a happy, helpful demeanor both to the general public and customers. Likewise, reliability, honesty, integrity, and self-motivation is necessary since you won't have anyone looking over your shoulder or directing your every move. No one will tell you when to get out of bed in the morning or when to take a break or stop driving for the day (except the NMCSA, of course!).
For additional information about Company Drivers, including what is a Company Driver, pathways to securing a driving job, financial investment requirements, personal characteristics, average salaries and compensation structures of Company Drivers, visit Truck Driving Job Resources.
Different types of materials require different types of trailers, and each type of trailer offers drivers its own challenges. Therefore, it is important to understand what is required to not only drive your truck and your freight, but the trailer you are pulling as well.
What is flatbed hauling equipment?
Flatbed trailers are essentially exactly what the name implies — a base of steel or similar material mounted on a frame with axles and wheels. Flat beds often haul oversized load that cannot fit in an enclosed trailer.
What are driver requirements for hauling flatbed equipment?
Aside from the appropriate CDL, drivers of flatbed equipment need to be adept at securing cargo with tarps, "come-a-longs," chains, strapping, or other types of devices. Before leaving the location of loading, drivers must make sure the cargo is securely held on the trailer and unable to move in any direction during events up to and including collisions, jackknifing, or to the extent possible, rollovers. Securing cargo on flatbed trailers is not a one-time check-and-go responsibility and must be rechecked and adjusted as needed.
Another important point of flatbed hauling concerns oversized loads. If cargo is wider or taller than a trailer would otherwise carry, the trailer must include large notations indicating "Oversized Load." In some cases, oversized loads will be accompanied by pilot vehicles who alert the truck drivers of potentially dangerous barriers ahead and often pull into the left lane to prevent other vehicles from passing until safe.
What endorsements are needed for flatbed hauling?
Endorsements for flatbed hauling depend on the type of cargo secured to the trailer. In cases where hazardous materials are being hauled, an (H) or (X) endorsement is needed. Also, if a tank of liquid, hazardous or not, is placed on a flatbed, for hauling purposes the trailer becomes a tanker. In such cases, it is best to hold endorsements for (N) Tankers, (H) Hazardous Materials, and/or (X) Hazardous Materials/Tanker combinations.
For more information about Flatbed Hauling, including what type of companies hire, job requirements, compensation structures, what endorsements are needed, visit Truck Driving Job Resources.
Truck driving route type vary within the industry and are dependent on several factors including interstate trucking requirements, route planning, type of cargo hauled, frequency, hazardous materials restrictions, driver experience, etc.
Local Routes are shorter and cover a smaller (usually local) geographic area. Local Route drivers are home every night and have a regular daily route including several stops to offload cargo. Companies servicing restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, and high-volume retail outlets are frequently included in a local route on a daily or semi-regular basis.
Truck driving route type vary within the industry and are dependent on several factors including interstate trucking requirements, route planning, type of cargo hauled, frequency, hazardous materials restrictions, driver experience, etc.
Over the Road (OTR) Routes are likely those that most people with minimal knowledge of the trucking industry envision drivers working. OTR routes can be regional with occasional outside of region assignments or they may be cross-country to make one delivery or several along the way. OTR drivers are generally paid by the mile and are on the road for much of the year with limited home time.
Truck driving route type vary within the industry and are dependent on several factors including interstate trucking requirements, route planning, type of cargo hauled, frequency, hazardous materials restrictions, driver experience, etc.
Regional Routes are routes within a specified geographic region. The region may be as small as a few counties in a state, a state itself, or a number of states. Regions are often divided geographically in typical ways including the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest Northwest, etc.

A girl who has been bullied at a Shuswap elementary school is in need of a lift; two groups of bikers who have made it their mission to raise awareness of the harm caused by bullying plan to give it to her.
Nine-year-old Samiya Noor has been regularly tormented by other students at Chase's Haldane Elementary, according to the girl's grandmother Vicki Gustavson.
Gustavson said Noor has been the target of racial slurs, and an array of physical violence.
The torment began towards the end of Noor's third grade year and got so bad Gustavson, who is Noor's guardian, made the decision to homeschool the girl for approximately five months.
Upon Noor's return to school the bullying continued. Gustavson said in a recent incident, Noor was knocked to the ground and had grass shoved into her mouth.
Gustavson said Noor even shaved off her eyebrows after being teased about them and hid a knife in her room with the intention of using it on herself.
"She just kind of withdrew from life and the world and she's only nine years old," Gustavson said of the way her granddaughter's behaviour has changed since the bullying began.
In solidarity with what Noor is experiencing, two groups of anti-bullying motorcycle enthusiasts are planning a visit to Chase on Friday, May 10.
Steve Enns, the founder of Bullying Enns, one of the two groups of Albertan motorcycle enthusiasts who will be making the trip, is hopeful a visit from the bikers will improve Noor's situation or at least lift her spirits.
Since founding the group in 2017, Enns has organized more than 40 rides in the Edmonton area where a group of bikers picks up or drops off bullying victims at school.
"In the past it's kicked off a conversation and got kids talking to the bullied kids who might've never talked to them," Enns said.
James Manley, a representative of Bikers are Buddies, a Calgary-based group which does anti-bullying work, said Noor's story hits especially close to home for the Calgary riders. He said a nine-year-old girl in Calgary recently took her own life after being targeted by bullies.
Enns said the biggest thing he wants to impress on people ahead of the visit from the bikers is that this isn't about intimidating bullies, but rather about starting a conversation and setting an example of sticking up for victims.
Manley said he is impressed by the way word of the Alberta bikers' ride to B.C. has spread in the local community, kicking off a dialogue about the effects bullying can have and the way it is being handled in schools. He also said businesses along the bikers' route have been supportive of the cause with Riders Retreat in Nakusp and Joe Schmucks Road House in Sicamous providing discounted accommodation.
Although she is pleased with the way community members have rallied around her granddaughter, Gustavson does not feel the school has done enough to protect the girl.
Rob Schoen, School District #73's assistant superintendent in charge of elementary schools, said the district has clear policies against bullying and they have been followed at Haldane.
"We do have policies that relate to code of conduct bullying and cyber bullying. We take that very seriously; as soon as complaints of bullying are brought to the attention of the school or district we investigate them," Schoen said.
The motorcyclists have been asked to stay off school property when they come to pick up Noor. Schoen said it is important they know that the school and district are not against their message, they are simply trying to avoid a distraction from the learning environment.
"We want to thank the motorcycle enthusiasts for the positive messaging. I think the more positive messaging we have out there in terms of anti bullying and supporting kindness is a beautiful thing," he said.
Gustavson said she is immensely grateful for what the bikers are doing and plans to throw a backyard barbecue for them and any other members of the community interested in attending. Those interested in more information or contributing food can contact her at 250-879-0776.

National and international swine experts will present research and talk on industry issues at the third Midwest Boar Stud Managers Conference in St. Louis, Aug. 7-8.
"This conference allows people who specialize in managing boars to talk about their jobs and industry," says Tim Safranski, University of Missouri Extension swine specialist. Registration is $175 by July 18 or $225 thereafter.
The conference, at the Doubletree Inn near the St. Louis airport, is held every four years and draws attendees from across the United States and abroad.
Safranski, conference coordinator, says this meeting fills an important void.
"There's not enough research on boars, though it's an important area," he explains. "Typically, when we talk about breeding herd management, we're talking about sows. But the boar stud industry is now specialized to the point where boars are housed separately, and not with sows. For those who manage boar studs, the work is much more specialized."
Joe Zulovich, University of Missouri Extension livestock housing systems specialist, will talk on combined ventilation and cooling systems.
St. Peter, MN, swine veterinarian Darwin Reicks will present his research on air filtration systems.
"Making enough air move through the filters is one of the biggest challenges in the boar industry," says Safranski. "Good air filtration is important for disease prevention."
Other topics for discussion include automated semen-collection systems, boar semen freezing, factors affecting sperm production, boar training methods and effects on fertility of cytoplasmic droplets, a common sperm abnormality.
The conference will also offer concurrent sessions on introductory and advanced boar management topics.
The conference will also include a trade show and international experts.
George Foxcroft, swine reproductive physiologist, University of Alberta, will discuss how current stud methods and artificial insemination practices limit sow productivity.
Janice Bailey, an expert on semen preservation from Laval University in Quebec, will present the current status of boar semen freezing and its importance.

Some women really know how to make an entrance. For Angie Harmon, nothing — not even a nonstop schedule filming the hot TNT series Rizzoli & Isles in Los Angeles — was going to keep her from surprising her husband, Jason Sehorn, at their North Carolina home for his 40th birthday. No, Harmon didn't drive up, ring the doorbell, and yell, "Surprise!" Instead, she crossed a patch of woods ("I didn't care if I wound up with poison ivy on my face"), sneaked through a neighbor's yard, and then wriggled through her home's doggy door to astound her entire family.
"I don't go small, that's for sure," the actress says, laughing. And, she adds, it was worth all the lost sleep and military-precision maneuvers: "When Jason saw me, his eyes got as big as basketballs, and then he gave me a big old bear hug," the 38-year-old recalls. "And my baby just held on to my leg. It was just darling.... My girls now really understand happy tears."
Tears, both happy and sad, are part of Harmon's life these days. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the raven-haired former model has just completed a 90-hour (yes, seriously: 90) workweek. It has been 10 full days since she's seen her clan — Sehorn and daughters Finley, 7, Avery, 6, and Emery, 2 — and she is fighting off a major mommy meltdown. "I'm a mess. I've lost 10 pounds since I got here," she says in her signature smoky voice, made famous on Law & Order back in the late nineties. "This is the hardest time in my life, for sure." But Harmon says she will get through it, and that her precious girls and well-tended marriage will thrive. She made a heart-wrenching choice, but for the right reason: her kids' welfare.
More From Good Housekeeping
Tackling Her Toughest Decision
Moving the family from L.A. to Charlotte, NC, last August has obviously complicated Harmon's and Sehorn's lives colossally. There's now a discouraging 2,000-plus miles between home and the studio where Rizzoli & Isles is filmed — though the family reunites on the West Coast during summer vacation.
"It breaks my heart that I don't see my daughters every day, don't get to hug them and brush their hair," Harmon admits. Still, she set her sights on North Carolina for her girls' sake, and has never looked back. She sums up the state's special allure: "There's a church on every corner as opposed to just a Starbucks.... The people are just a little nicer — more real."
Harmon didn't like what the kids were picking up in the fast-moving, flashy Hollywood world. She was horrified to learn that daughter Avery had been hearing friends talk about "sexual things," like making out with a boy. "Things were just going too fast for her," Harmon recalls with a shudder. "And she had night terrors, which stopped the day we got to North Carolina." Also, says Harmon, her once-shy oldest daughter has become more outgoing. Even with the logistical challenges, Harmon says, "I'm happy that we moved. One day, my kids are going to say, 'Remember when we sat in the yard [in North Carolina] and fed the geese?' I'm so proud that I can give them these memories. And I'm more grounded and centered in North Carolina because it's a slower way of life. We go bike riding or go to the ice cream parlor."
Of course, the decision to relocate wouldn't have happened without serious support from Sehorn. As Harmon's career was in a lull, the couple planned the next stage of their family's life somewhat sheltered from the spotlight. They forged ahead with heading east — only to have the Rizzoli & Isles job offer crop up. Sehorn knew that the role was too good to lose and must have seen the excitement in his wife's eyes when she spoke about it. "He says, 'Baby, you wouldn't be who you are if you weren't an actress,'" Harmon explains. "He gives me the freedom to do my job, which is pretty fantastic."
Mommying Across the Miles
A self-described control freak, Harmon stays involved in the minutiae of her children's lives when she's away, constantly checking in with "the Horn," as she's nicknamed her husband (the girls are "the Hornettes," and she's "the She-Horn").
"I'm calling him all the time to ask, 'What did you do next?'" she admits — so she can visualize each part of the family's day. And she has taught the 6'2" former New York Giant some of her secret mom moves, like the routine of rocking baby Emery to sleep every night (a favorite blanket plays the starring role). "At first, he was like, 'Really?'" she says, laughing. "I told him, 'When she's 15 and doesn't want anything to do with you, you're going to remember those nights when you rocked her to sleep, and you're going to thank me.'" Over dinner, Dad and the girls carry on the ritual that Harmon initiated of playing Roses and Thorns, wherein each family member relays the highlights (roses) and disappointments (thorns) of the day.
Still, no matter how much they Skype and share by phone, Harmon is bound to be absent for some milestones. Yesterday, for instance, a phone call with the girls nearly unraveled her: "The baby is a great talker, and she's improving every day. So she got on the phone and said, 'Mommy, I mith you so muth.' She has a lisp now! I just lost it." Harmon knew that she had to take a deep breath and pull it together before her oldest girl jumped on the line. "I tried to cover it up and be strong for her, but Finley said, 'Oh, yeah. Mommy's crying.'"
Missing the little everyday mom moments is hard — and Harmon is hard on herself. "When I feel like I'm not doing what I am supposed to as a mother, I will torture myself," she says. "I don't know how to deal with it. I find some consolation in the fact that all mommies feel it. If there was a way to cure mommy guilt, I would bottle it and be a bazillionaire."
A fellow actor who also left her family to film a hit show — The Closer's Kyra Sedgwick — gave Harmon some advice that sees her through her loneliest low points. "Kyra told me to keep my heart where my feet are. So when I'm at work, my heart stays at work, and when I'm at home, my heart stays at home." She acknowledges that it's easier said than done, but says, "With that idea in mind, I can sort of stay on track."
Just as Harmon doesn't claim to be the perfect parent, she won't pretend that her darling daughters are always cherubs. They fight, for sure. "I have them hug and kiss," she says. "And it has to be reciprocal. Usually, if only one girl is doing the hugging, it eventually makes the other one laugh, and so it all works out."
Teaching her children to be kind to people and give back is another of Harmon's ongoing parenting projects. Until recently, she used a point system she'd devised by which they could earn rewards. But she discovered that they were only being nice to each other to nab a reward. Harmon therefore set out to teach them that they must give in order to receive. "I was yanking on the girls to give up their old toys and telling them to think about the little ones who don't have anything, but they just didn't understand at all," she says. "So I decided to show them pictures of poor children in other countries, and now they get it. We all take big bags of toys to Goodwill."
Harmon takes pride in instilling her values in the girls. Some of the guidelines she reveres: "They need to know that everybody needs to be respected. There is no one on this planet who's better than they are, and they aren't better than anybody else. Treat others as you would have them treat you. And you're not pretty on the outside unless you're pretty on the inside."
Navigating "New Girl" Status
Although her kids were quickly settled into their new home, Harmon had concerns about managing her bicoastal life. She worried — a lot — about how she would forge a new community in North Carolina in the mere slivers of time she had there. "My biggest insecurity is that my personality is too much, and as I get older, it's just getting bigger," she acknowledges. "I was scared that the women in North Carolina might not like me. I get so excited about things — maybe too excited. I definitely come on strong. So I tried to rein myself in," she says.
Harmon turned for reassurance to dear friend and NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson and his wife, Chandra, who live in Charlotte and had encouraged her to move the family there. "They told me, 'Don't calm down; we love you for who you are,'" she recalls. As it turned out, Harmon need not have worried about her exuberant personality; it certainly didn't scare anyone off. "Jason and I have a group of about 10 couples who opened their homes and hearts and welcomed us like nothing I have ever seen before," she says, visibly moved. "I wasn't expecting to be embraced like that."
Harmon is one to reciprocate: "I'm the kind of person who wants the people around me to be comfortable, to laugh, and to have a fabulous time — I want them to be as happy as I am."
The newfound circle isn't just about playdates and parties. When Harmon is away, Sehorn and the girls often make the rounds to different families on the weekends, having breakfast at one house and later barbecuing elsewhere in the neighborhood. It's that sense of community that continues to impress Harmon, who adds that she tends to be gun-shy about trusting people after having been burned in relationships in the past. (She's too polite to name names or dish any details.) "All of these women back in North Carolina know that I am gone, and they're all taking care of my children and helping my husband," she says. "I love them so much."
Prayer Power
This warm, family-focused embrace is different than what Harmon experienced during her own upbringing in Dallas. An only child, she describes her youth as "normal, but lonely" and recalls "trying to figure out things to do" in her apartment complex. Her parents, who were both professional models in the 1970s, divorced when she was a child. At 15, the genetically blessed part-Greek and part-Native American Harmon won Seventeen magazine's cover girl search. Right after graduating from high school, she headed to Europe, where she worked for top-notch designers like Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani.
Angie Harmon the actress emerged a few years later. A part on Baywatch Nights (the spin-off of the hit TV series Baywatch), which aired from 1995 to 1997, as a private eye eventually led to her breakout role as the conservative assistant district attorney on Law & Order. Television roles as titanium-tough crime-fighting women have largely become her specialty. Harmon can't explain why she's been typecast as a gutsy civil servant, but she would gladly play anyone from the girl next door to the First Lady.
When her career hit a wall a couple of years ago, she figured it was time to shelve her acting aspirations. However, before she embraced full-time motherhood, she prayed for guidance about which path to pursue. "I said to God, 'If the plan is to raise these girls, I will wholeheartedly do that, because they are so important to me,'" she recalls. "Once I made that transition in my heart, the [Rizzoli & Isles] script was literally on my doorstep the next day." She took that as a sign that her acting days were not yet behind her.
While faith has always been a touchstone in Harmon's life, it has come to play a bigger and bigger role. "As a mother, I can't be close enough to God. I am always praying for protection," says Harmon, who loves The Power of a Praying Parent book series by Stormie Omartian. Right now, she and Sehorn are "shopping around" for the right place of worship in Charlotte. It's not a process they want to rush. "We like to talk to the people in the church, and a pastor has to be a leader to our family," she says.
Until they find a pew that fits, Harmon is happy to improvise: "Me? I pray everywhere — in the shower, on a plane, in traffic, you name it. When I feel like I have had enough, I will literally take a knee, bow my head, and beg God for help and strength. I know not to beg Him for patience, because then He gives me situations in which I have to grow more patient; I learned that lesson! And if I am having a wonderful day, I will stop to thank Him. It's a relationship."
Love, Trust, and Talking It Out
The other key relationship in Harmon's life — her marriage — is going strong at the 10-year mark. Introduced by a mutual friend in 1999, Harmon and Sehorn quickly clicked. In March of the following year, Sehorn managed to render the rambunctious Harmon nearly speechless when he crashed her guest appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and proposed on one knee. It took the flabbergasted Harmon several seconds to compose herself and exclaim, "Oh, my God, baby...YES!"
Harmon explains that she and Sehorn are the classic "opposites attract" couple. "He's like a steady tugboat," she explains, "while I bring on the shock waves." She says one of the pleasures of marriage is celebrating their differences: "As time goes on, [I love] the different discoveries you make about each other. You think you know that person inside and out, that you know every single inch of that person, and then you find something new."
For instance, Sehorn surprised her recently by revealing his vulnerable side. Says Harmon, "He's a football player, so it's not like he's the most emotional person. We've been through the birth of three children, and hardships that happen in life and a marriage, and I'd never seen him cry." But on the day Harmon left to film her show in California, as the couple prepared to say good-bye, "I went to give him a hug. Jason's got a huge chest — that's one of my favorite parts about him. It's like hugging a bear," she says, stopping for a moment to close her eyes and sigh. "And when I hugged him, I felt his chest collapse. He just crumbled." She hesitates for a moment, then shrugs and adds, "He's going to hate me for putting this out there, but it was so beautiful and so wonderful."
Sehorn, too, has glimpsed a softer side of his spouse since their location separation kicked in. "He's really seeing that I need him. I'm usually very much an 'I can do it myself' kind of person. I always had a part of my heart that was guarded. It's like, I will give you 95% of my heart, and I'll keep this 5% for me just in case something goes wrong," she says with surprising candor. "But you can't go through life like that. You have to be 100% invested in the relationship." So how does she overcome that self-protective instinct? "To be honest, I don't know that I am completely there yet," she says after mulling it over for a moment. "But I know that I continuously want to work on that pattern and change it."
With a decade of marriage behind her, Harmon will attest to one rule she always follows: "Communication is a huge, huge thing in marriage. And it doesn't matter if it's uncomfortable or brings up bad stuff," she says. "You really have to have the guts to talk to each other."
Just not in front of the kids. Harmon and Sehorn will never have an all-out fight or even a disagreement in front of the girls. "We present a unified front," she says. "There's just no reason to create that trouble in their hearts. I've read enough books to know that it's traumatic for them." She adds that she and Sehorn do hug and hold hands in front of their daughters. "We have to be an example of a good and healthy relationship," she says. And it's a traditional relationship at that, says Harmon, "Every night, whether we're eating in or out, Jason is the one to say grace, because he's the father and the head of the household."
And when the kids are sound asleep, Harmon prides herself on spicing things up for the Horn. Not too long ago, the couple found themselves relaxing late on a Saturday night. Harmon admits she was feeling antsy. "I'm dangerous when I'm bored," she says, laughing. So she jazzed up the rules of a board game that they were playing: Sehorn had to drink a shot of tequila (there's a coffee-flavored kind that he favors) if he lost a point, while Harmon had to strip if she lost one. "Of course, he had no idea that I had already cheated and had seven outfits on," she says, with a wink.
Weekend wonderland
Aside from such fun and games, her weekends in North Carolina are all about family time. "I'll wake up with my girls in the bed with me, and we're like kittens. We're all over each other, and Jason's all scrunched up because we've pushed him over to the far side of the bed. I love being nestled into their necks." Later, she and the kids might draw and color for a while and then head outdoors for a bike ride or a hike. In the late afternoon, country music blasts from the kitchen (Harmon loves to feed her family nutritious fare; she is a spokesperson for the Love Your Veggies campaign and has appeared in Got Milk? advertisements with her daughters). Often, the scent of her Greek chicken dish wafts throughout the house. "You cut up a whole chicken and put Hidden Valley Italian Ranch dressing all over it with a little Worcestershire sauce, and then you bake it. Heaven," she says. "My happiest time is when the girls are all running around, and I have to step over the dog to get to the fridge."
So much has changed for Harmon in the past year — a new home in an unfamiliar town, a new show in the city she'd just left, and the challenge of being away from her loved ones. But figuring out how to make the most of these challenges is part of her nature. "I don't ever want to get to the point where I think I know everything," she says. "It could be about parenting, my marriage, or my career...I just want to keep learning." And whether she's in North Carolina, California, or someplace in between, she's set to do exactly that.

Mark 13:22-23
Today's Preaching Insight...
Preaching That Confronts Injustice
With God in the Crucible: Preaching Costly Discipleship is an Abingdon Press book that contains sermons by Peter Storey, former President of the Methodist Church of South Africa and Bishop of the Johannesburg/Soweto area for thirteen years. The book contains sermons preached in the midst of a society crippled by apartheid along with sermons reflect the nation's deliverance from that oppressive system. (Storey is now on the faculty of Duke Divinity School.)
One of the sermons, "When God Turns the Tide," was preached just days after the 1990 announcement of the abandonment of apartheid. Here is a powerful moment in that sermon.
"When President DeKlerk made those dramatic announcements that opened the prison gates of despair, I stood still for a long time, transfixed and emotionally overwhelmed. Then I walked to our kitchen window. From there you can see a distant hill, and on that hill there stands a church where, back in the 1950s, a young priest once ministered to the people of a vibrant black township called Sophiatown. It was there that he tried to stop the military trucks that came in the night to take the people away and the bulldozers that smashed their houses down.
"I looked out on the white suburb that rose on the ruins of Sophiatown. I remembered the final insult in the naming of that suburb, Triomf. [The Afrikaans word for "Triumph."] I remembered the little book written by that priest to expose apartheid's evil to the world, called Naught for Your Comfort.
"The priest was admonished by his bishop and sent home to England. But he took with him his book to alert the world, and he left behind a young black teenager who had been his altar boy and whom he had faithfully visited in the hospital when the boy had tuberculosis. The priest's name was Trevor Huddleston. The altar boy was Desmond Tutu. Huddleston's book may be dated now, but the altar boy is not. Huddleston's impact on South Africa through Desmond Tutu is immeasurable. There is a direct line between his witness in Sophiatown and this moment.
"There have been many, many others who have stood for the truth. They have been a minority, but together, the convictions of that minority and their commitment to obey God and stand for God's truth have made it possible for this moment of God's intervention - God's turning of the tide. Never underestimate the importance of ordinary people standing for the truth, because they also enable others to play their part."

In case you need reassurance that everlasting love really does exist, this video of a couple at their 50th anniversary party will certainly help.
Back in the 1960s, Harvey and Mildred Wosika met while she was working at his brother's cafe. The couple hit it off and they were married on Aug. 5, 1966.
Together they have a total of 11 children, 35 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren.
Nearly 150 family and friends joined them in their hometown of Newkirk, Oklahoma, to help them celebrate their 50th anniversary last week.
During the party, Harvey handed his cellphone to his daughter and told her to record a video, his granddaughter Lisa Epperly said.
Then Harvey got down on one knee, held his wife's hands, and serenaded her with Bing Crosby's classic song "Let Me Call You Sweetheart." Harvey even added some of his own lyrics into the song.
Lisa said the beautiful gesture made everyone cry. Her grandmother loved her husband's sweet gesture and said, "He is just full of surprises."
Lisa told KTLA sister station WXIN that her grandfather says the secret to a happy marriage is to always say, "Yes, honey." Her grandmother says the secret is love and understanding.

"We did not ask for this fight, but we will not run from it."
Thus, Card. Dolan about the latest insult tossed our way by the Obama Administration.
From LifeSite:
Cardinal: Obama Admin Lectured Bishops on Catholic Teaching
by Steven Ertelt
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic bishops, has released a public letter today detailing a stunning conversation he and other bishops had with top White House officials about the controversial Obama mandate.
In the letter, Cardinal Dolan relates a shocking meeting in which top Obama Administration asked to meet with the bishops to "work out the wrinkles" of the mandate. After accepting the invitation and arriving at the White House, the bishops asked whether any ability to broaden the very narrow religious exemptions in the mandate were off the table.
"The invited us to 'work out the wrinkles.' We have accepted that invitation," he wrote. "Unfortunately, this seems to be stalled: the White House Press Secretary, for instance, informed the nation that the mandates are a fait accompli (and, embarrassingly for him, commented that we bishops have always opposed Health Care anyway, a charge that is scurrilous and insulting, not to mention flat out wrong.")
Dolan writes: "At a recent meeting between staff of the bishops' conference and the White House staff, our staff members asked directly whether the broader concerns of religious freedom—that is, revisiting the straight-jacketing mandates, or broadening the maligned exemption—are all off the table. They were informed that they are. So much for "working out the wrinkles." [Get this…] Instead, they advised the bishops' conference that we should listen to the "enlightened" voices of accommodation, such as the recent, hardly surprising yet terribly unfortunate editorial in America." [The editorial in the Jesuit-run America which I looked at HERE. In other words, The Magisterium of Nuns.]
He said, "The White House seems to think we bishops simply do not know or understand Catholic teaching and so, taking a cue from its own definition of religious freedom, now has nominated its own handpicked official Catholic teachers [Isn't this what I have been talking about? Is it time for the American Patriotic Catholic Association? "But Father! But Father!", some of you are saying. "This isn't China; this is America!]
"We have made it clear in no uncertain terms to the government that we are not at peace with its invasive attempt to curtail the religious freedom we cherish as Catholics and Americans," the archbishop of New York wrote in a public letter to the Catholic bishops last Friday. "We did not ask for this fight, but we will not run from it."
The Catholic bishops' president made it appear the mandate is not going to be changed in any way to protect religious freedom.
Dolan said, "The White House already notified Congress that the dreaded mandates are now published in the Federal Registry 'without change.' He added that "The Secretary of HHS is widely quoted as saying, 'Religious insurance companies don't really design the plans they sell based on their own religious tenets.' That doesn't bode well for their getting a truly acceptable "accommodation."
Cardinal Dolan also said "We will continue to accept invitations to meet with and to voice our concerns to anyone of any party, for this is hardly partisan, who is willing to correct the infringements on religious freedom that we are now under. But as we do so, we cannot rely on off the record promises of fixes without deadlines and without assurances of proposals that will concretely address the concerns in a manner that does not conflict with our principles and teaching."
He added that "Congress might provide more hope, since thoughtful elected officials [catholic HHS Sec. Sebelius, who cannot receive Holy Communion, is not an elected official. ] have proposed legislation to protect what should be so obvious: religious freedom. Meanwhile, in our recent debate in the senate, our opponents sought to obscure what is really a religious freedom issue by maintaining that abortion inducing drugs and the like are a 'woman's health issue.' We will not let this deception stand. Our commitment to seeking legislative remedies remains strong. And it is about remedies to the assault on religious freedom. Period."
"Perhaps the courts offer the most light," he said about the many lawsuits that have been filed against the mandate. [And remember the 9-0 SCOTUS Hosanna-Tabor decision.]
Dolan warned the bishops that "given this climate, we have to prepare for tough times. Some, like America magazine, [In case the editors wondered if their betrayal of the bishops would go unnoticed.] want us to cave-in and stop fighting, saying this is simply a policy issue; some want us to close everything down rather than comply (in an excellent article, Cardinal Francis George wrote that the administration apparently wants us to 'give up for Lent' our schools, hospitals, and charitable ministries); some, like Bishop Robert Lynch wisely noted, wonder whether we might have to engage in civil disobedience and risk steep fines; some worry that we'll have to face a decision between two ethically repugnant choices: subsidizing immoral services or no longer offering insurance coverage, a road none of us wants to travel." [It sounds as if closing down is on the table.]
Cardinal Dolan added that "we know so very well that religious freedom is our heritage, our legacy and our firm belief, both as loyal Catholics and Americans. There have been many threats to religious freedom over the decades and years, but these often came from without. This one sadly comes from within. As our ancestors did with previous threats, we will tirelessly defend the timeless and enduring truth of religious freedom."

There's RORO, like GIGO. And check out the red cargo in roughly the center of this foto . . . a garbage truck on its way south. Guess that makes this vessel a GTOGTO. Doubleclick enlarges.
Honestly, can you place "basseterre?" It's neither a slur nor a flood plain.
This 1979 vessel, named for an obscure island in Norway–note the Norwegian port now painted over–reminds me of Grey Shark.
Basseterre is the capital of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis (FSKN). And I digress, but FSKN with twice the area of Staten Island has fewer inhabitants than Staten Island did a century ago. FSKN population density today is 424 people/square mile; Staten Island today . . .
7587 people/square mile! Do you suppose the person in yellow farmer-johns is just out fishing, or might he have another transaction with Lygra ?

Texas Homeowner 'Lynches' Empty Chair Meant to Represent President Obama
A Texas-based political blog brings news of a North Austin man who shocked some in his neighborhood by putting up a display in his front yard apparently meant to symbolize a lynched President Obama hanging from a tree.
The political statement consists of an empty chair tied to a tree branch and left to hang in the air.
Now, one could easily argue "it's just a chair, what's the big deal? That's not racist!"
However, in light of Clint Eastwood's speech at the Republican National Convention, in which he had a largely one-sided conversation with an empty chair he pretended was Barack Obama, this imagery is now associated with the President.
Katherine Haenschen, the concerned citizen who brought this controversial metaphor to the public's attention, says she reached out to the homeowner, Bud Johnson, to complain, but he was less than forthcoming about addressing her grievances.
"I don't really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not," Johnson reportedly told Haenschen. "You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you. I don't give a shit. If you don't like it, don't come down my street."
Burnt Orange Report notes that Johnson isn't just some neighborhood crank — he's the August 2010 winner of the Homeowners Association's "Yard of the Month" [pdf].

In spite of the fact that I do not believe in monsters, the supernatural or Lovecraftian horrors, I will still go out of my way to try and find them. I've gone to Boston Commons trying to find the numerous ghosts that are supposed to have been sighted there. I've journeyed down abandoned stairwells hidden away in the walls of the bookstore I worked at.
And now I've walked down the legendary Downs Road. There are a few blog entries already written on the subject and the road has worked itself into a few book on haunted New England locations, but that's not how I first found out about it. A friend of mine claims to have had his own spooky experiences on the road involving a dream catcher and he has been wanting to go back.
Now, we've been wanting to go down the Downs Road for a year and a half now, but haven't had the time or the resources until recently. If you don't live in New England, you may not be aware that less than two weeks ago, three feet of snow were dumped on the whole region. Snow and rain were also forecast for the whole day. But that didn't matter, because we were goin to hunt monsters and ghosts and redneck hillbillies and whatever else might be lurking on the road.
Because the stories aren't really clear what lives on that road. There are stories of ghosts and stories of malformed hillbillies and stories of a four foot tall bigfoot. There's no one thing that ties together the stories except for creeped out hikers and scary experiences.
My friend, a third friend and myself all went out at around 5 yesterday in the hopes that on our way back it would be truly dark and we could get proper scared. To access the road, you need to drive to Hampden, Connecticut, to the end of a residential street that ends in a cul de sac. At the end of Downs Road, there's a second cul de sac that's located one town over, in Bethany.
We marched through snowy woods in snow over a foot thick while we got more and more soaked in the rain. We came across strange tracks in the snow that seemed to belong to some large, three toed creature. But I've spent enough time in the country to know that I know nothing about animal tracks. What look like monster tracks to a city slicker like me are most likely tracks made by squirrels that have altered as the snow melts, making the tracks appear larger than they were at the outset.
We heard the occasional owl and saw foot prints from other people hiking through, some of which stopped abruptly in the middle of nowhere, but I'm going to chalk that up to the tracks merely fading as time went on.
We explored the old ruins and the stone walls that cross the countryside. It's eerie, there's no doubt about that. It's so quiet and the little bits and pieces of someone's failed attempts to colonize the woods are not exactly uplifting. That's what unnerved me the most; it was a reminder of a time when someone could walk into those woods and never come out again, when the wilderness spanned much further than two cul de sacs, and a body could get lost forever in the wilds.
We walked the length of Downs Road and back again and we saw and heard nothing of note. We were soaking wet, exhausted and ready to make the two hour drive back to Boston. On the way back, we reflected on the sobering realization of an era long lost and the reminders of our own fragility in the face of the unforgiving wilderness.
Or we belted out Weird Al songs while eating junk food.

He's 15 years old. He hasn't lived nothing, absolutely not a fraction of his life and he's gone. He's gone like no other. – Uncle
SOUTH JORDAN — Police said Saturday they are confident there are no other suspects involved in the shooting deaths of two boys, ages 12 and 15, at a home in Daybreak.
But there are still many unanswered questions about the deaths and South Jordan police say they are "going slow" and being careful in their investigation.
Taylor Wheeler, 12, and Dayton Gessell, 15, died Friday inside a home at 4781 W. Pine Canyon Way. Neither boy lived at that home and they are not related.
"We don't know right now what happened in that house," South Jordan Police Sgt. Sam Winkler said late Saturday. "We haven't been able to talk to all of the parties in the house. We're still examining the evidence."
But investigators are not looking for any suspects.
"The community does not need to fear that there are gunmen on the loose, running around the community," Winkler said.
Detectives recovered three handguns from the home, but Winkler said they have been unable to confirm where the guns came from, who the owners are or if they were even involved in the incident.
"This case is still in its infancy," Winkler said. "We do not get a lot of homicides in South Jordan so we are making sure we are going slow and we are taking the proper steps."
Winkler said an autopsy was scheduled for Sunday to determine the cause of death.
The bodies were discovered in the home's basement about 4:30 p.m. Friday by an off-duty West Valley City police officer who had been driving through the neighborhood. A boy who apparently had been inside the home when the shots were fired summoned the officer.
Upon discovering the boys' bodies in the basement, the officer notified South Jordan police. They secured the home until investigators could return with a warrant, Winkler said. Officers obtained search warrants for the residence overnight.
Three teens who were in the home at the time — ages 16, 14 and 14 — were taken to the South Jordan Police Department on Friday. Two of the three are boys who live in the home. All were "processed" and released to their parents, Winkler said. But the three were not questioned.
"Right now we don't consider them suspects but we haven't ruled it out either," he said. "We know that they were in the house. We don't know where in the house they were when this took place."
Police expect to question the boys in the near future, but Winkler said they are being sensitive to the teens and their mental well being. He said the teenagers were shaken by the deaths.
"Obviously you can assume that when they have a couple of their friends that this happened to, that they'd be quite traumatized," the sergeant said. "That's why it took so long to go through the process. We wanted to be gentle with them. We wanted to make sure we comforted them and met their needs in addition to doing our investigation."
Police have contacted the Jordan School District and counselors will be available for students and parents Monday should they need the services.
"A tragedy like this, it affects a lot of people," Winkler said. "Our hearts go out to the family of the victims and the families involved. This is a tragedy, especially when we're talking about children."
An uncle of Dayton Gessell who asked not to be named, said he was heartbroken and devastated when he heard the news.
"He didn't deserve to die," the man said of his nephew. "He was the greatest kid. He was into sports. He loved baseball, football, all kinds of stuff."
The uncle said he doesn't know all of the facts of the incident, but did say Dayton had some struggles in life. He said the boy had made some mistakes and spent time in juvenile detention.
"He's 15 years old," he said. "He hasn't lived nothing, absolutely not a fraction of his life and he's gone. He's gone like no other."
The man said he hopes the deaths will remind parents that they should teach their kids to make their own decisions without giving in to outside pressures. He also offered a message to other teens like his nephew.
"Everybody needs to be a leader," he said. "Everybody cannot be a sheep or a follower. You have to find what you want in yourself."

Q: What's the definition of an accountant?
A: Someone who solves a problem you didn't know you had in a way you don't understand.
Okay, so maybe that's not entirely fair. But as with most humor there's a grain of truth to the joke. Most small businesses choose an accountant -- either hiring a "numbers person" on staff or hiring accounting services on a contract basis -- when a business' financial challenges have become too great to handle without expert help. Maybe you want to better the financial function of your business. Or perhaps your accounting software isn't providing the type of data you need to grow your business. Having trouble switching from cash to accrual accounting? Are your financial statements inaccurate or incomplete? These are all good reasons to look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
"It all depends on the size of the company. If you're a small business owner and find yourself sitting in front of QuickBooks wondering where to begin, that's a good indication that it's time to find someone knowledgeable," says Mark Koziel, director of specialized communities and firm practice management for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Here is how to determine whether you need an accounting firm or an inside accountant, how to determine what qualifications to seek in your accountant, and how to choose the right accountant for your business.
Dig Deeper: Accounting for Start-ups
Choosing the Right Accountant: Hiring a Firm Versus an Inside Accountant
Many entrepreneurs who launch their own businesses start out by wearing the accountant's hat and doing your own taxes, in addition to doing just about everything else in the business, too. It's become easier for a layperson to keep track of a business' finance with the advent of simple bookkeeping software, such as QuickBooks, Quicken, and Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting. But there comes a time in a growing enterprise when it makes sense to hand over responsibilities for taxes, accounting, and the rest of the financial functions to specialists.
The right accountant can help a business with not only tax returns, but with longer term tax planning, business planning, networking, and even personal tax planning if your still the major stakeholder in your business. "It is an absolutely critical decision," Koziel says. "You are trusting that CPA with your financial future as a small business. You're hoping that it is someone well versed in what you need, and someone who has had other life experience and can help you from a financial perspective."
Before you can find the right accountant, you need to determine if you need an accounting firm or an inside accountant.
Dig Deeper: Shopping for an Accountant
Choosing the Right Accountant: When Is It Time?
Many small businesses don't have the volume of financial transactions that necessitate hiring a full-time -- or even part-time -- bookkeeper or accountant on staff. Then again, the financial situation of their business is such that they could benefit from more regular financial review and planning and up-to-date accounting -- instead of leaving every invoice, receipt, and ledger to hand off to the tax preparer at the close of the fiscal year.
Hiring an outside accountant or accounting firm on a consulting basis is a good first step for a growing business, Koziel says. The outside firm can often cost less than the salary and benefits of a full-time employee and, at the same time, you may be getting a higher level of advice from a CPA or a tax accountant, the latter of whom usually is a licensed CPA and a lawyer specializing in tax law. Even with the latest and greatest accounting and tax software, it still may be easier to farm out your financials to a CPA firm that can manage your books online through secure software-as-a-service programs than to maintain those software programs in-house.
Outside accountant
An accounting firm usually handles the following accounting functions:
"Every company is different," says Jim Chamberlain, a management counselor and financial expert with SCORE, a nonprofit organization that serves small businesses. "A business owner may expand the scope of work to include recording of transactions, but usually this is the responsibility of the "inside" accountant -- it isn't profitable for a firm to perform this duty."
An accounting firm will offer an hourly rate schedule, adds Chamberlain. There may be different rates for different accounting functions depending on the level of complexity and who in the accountant's firm is actually performing the tasks. "Keep in mind that a good tax expert should save the company money over and above his/her fees," Chamberlain says. "The total annual invoice may appear high, but you now are getting a professional look at your statements and performance."
Inside accountant
When the business grows in revenue and the transactions become more complicated, it is time to consider hiring a full- or part-time inside accountant. Since the outside accountant's fee grows with the size of the business, the owner may see some cost savings by bringing some of the work in-house.
According to Chamberlain, duties and responsibilities of an in-house accountant usually include:
Check with colleagues and other professionals on compensation level requirements per size of company, responsibilities, and type of industry, Chamberlain advises. (Guidelines are available at the Institute of Management Accountants' website or with various employee search firms.) "Remember, you are bringing on board expertise, which the company currently doesn't have so identify the best candidate first, then deal with compensation issues last," Chamberlain says. "You might also want to consider performance-based compensation rather than a front loaded salary."

Choosing the Right Accountant: The Key Qualifications
After determining whether you will hire an inside or outside accountant, you need to determine what qualifications your accountant should have before beginning your search. A non-certified accountant may be precisely what you need to handle your business' financial statements, analysis, and bookkeeping. However, when it comes to tax advice and return preparation, business owners usually look to accountants who are certified and licensed. Here are some of the qualifications you may look for:
Certifications. A CPA has an undergraduate degree, and has met the exam and experience requirements for state certification. A CPA must take continuing education courses to remain certified and licensed. A Certified Management Accountant (CMA) is trained to meet the demands of today's accounting requirements in addition to participating on the company's management team. As with a CPA, a CMA must pass an exam, have business experience, and obtain continuing education credits. "In young, growing companies particularly, owners want an accountant who can help them manage financial business performance and have responsibility for the internal control function," Chamberlain says. "A CMA is well-suited for this." There are additional designations that some CPAs have, including Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV), Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), and Personal Financial Specialist (PFS), among others.
Industry expertise. In addition to certifications, you should look for some type of expertise in your industry -- or a similar industry. "Some firms have a specialty in auto dealers, others specialize in construction contractors, others work with non profits, and some may have experience in retail," Koziel says. "Those specialties can be based on type of service they provide and type of industry." Some accounting firms partner with networks of other firms and can turn to specialists to resolve certain issues if need be.
Size. The array of accountants and firms to choose from can be daunting -- from sole practitioners to national, marquis firms. Some businesses feel more comfortable employing a large, name-brand firm. But while one of the Big Four firms might seem attractive, you have to ask yourself whether a small firm will be overlooked. You also have to know what makes you comfortable as a business leader. You may feel more at ease with face time with a partner in a smaller firm. Be aware that large firms sometimes contract out work to smaller accounting firms -- so make sure you ask who will be handling your account.
Complexity. Your decision on what qualifications to seek in an accountant must also take into consideration what services your business needs from an accountant. Maybe you only seek a firm to prepare your tax return and compile end-of-year financial statements. But if you also want tax and financial planning advice, or retirement planning advice, you may need to seek someone with different qualifications or background. Some businesses also require their CPA to attest to the validity of their financial statements to an outside party, such as a bank. Even with the latest convenience options in tax preparation, such as eFiling and tax software, it is sometimes easiest to simply let a tax accountant do the work for you.
Dig Deeper: What to Ask Your Accountant
Choosing the Right Accountant: Finding a Referral
For an outside accountant, find out who and/or which firms your friends and colleagues are using. Ask people in similar industries for names or referrals. Mention that you are looking for an accountant at the country club or health club. "Word of mouth is one of the best ways to identify good candidates for your business," Chamberlain says. "Maybe your corporate attorney can make a recommendation. Your industry trade association also can be a good resource."
If you are planning on hiring an inside accountant, get the word out to colleagues and friends. Newspaper advertisements, employee search firms, and Internet websites are all resources that can be tapped. "Search firms charge fees, so know exactly what they are providing -- of the scope of work -- before committing to that service," Chamberlain says.
"In a lot of relationships, the accountant is a trusted business advisor to that small business. They act as more than just outside accounting help," says Koziel. "They're a counselor to the family, a priest and a rabbi, and they are involved in so many aspects of the owner's business that the relationship has to be a trusting relationship."
Choosing the Right Accountant: Interviews and Reference Checks
Keep in mind that small business can ill afford to make a hiring mistake -- especially with an accountant. The accountant will have access to the company's books, records, and other proprietary information, Chamberlain says.
It is imperative that the business owner take the time to interview the firms and individual candidates. Check if they have experience in your industry, your size of company, and software sophistication.
If you are interviewing outside firms, ask to meet with the staff members who will be servicing your account. Get comfortable with the firms' culture and most importantly, the time they will dedicate to service your business in a prompt manner. Make sure communication is clear and direct even with negative news or advice.
Finally, check references. This is an important decision and the business owner must perform adequate due diligence before making a decision.
"Choosing an in-house accountant or accounting firm is a milestone for a small business," Chamberlain says. "It is a signal that the company wants to strengthen its financial function, improve its management reporting, and position the company for growth. Many companies wait too long before making this decision resulting in sloppy and inaccurate reporting at a crucial time in the company's growth." Therefore, do your best to hire the right candidate for your business.

ONE thing West Indians can be certain is that on the eve of an international cricket Test series there will be at least ONE controversy to serve to distract the team from the job of winning. And to expose the failings of our regional institutions.
The ICC Men's Test Rankings support the view that #8 ranked West Indies out of 10 Test playing countries will have its work cut-out to beat a #2 ranked England team. The first Test is scheduled to start in Barbados on the 23 January 2019.
The question West Indians fans must ask therefore- why do our cricket administrators continue to debate issues that should be resolved in the board room and at the Secretariat? Perhaps there is a naive view held by the directors of Cricket West Indies (CWI) that shouting across island boundaries will not impact player performance AND the moral of a dwindling spectator base. The current state of West Indies cricket continues to spiral southward and it is worthy of note that although the current #8 Test Rankings positions West Indies above Bangladesh, we were beaten by them in the last series and they are just ONE point behind the West Indies.
What is the latest brouhaha?
The decision by CWI to appoint Richard Pybus has triggered a shouting match between two CWI Directors Enoch Lewis from Antigua and Conde Riley from Barbados. Lewis is critical of the process that led to Pybus' selection. Riley has rebutted Lewis by sharing with the public on a radio show that the matter was discussed at Board and voted on.
At this stage of the argument it does not matter who is right or wrong. What matters is the inability of our cricket administrators to manage the cricket utilizing the best governance practices readily available.It has not gone unnoticed by the blogmaster that many of the Directors were educated in the region. We were unable to find a link to the CWI Board of Directors to determine level of formal training.
The blogmaster has held his nose to develop the view on the merit of appointing Pybus as Head coach of the West Indies team given his unflattering resume.
Here we are – as a West Indian cricket fan – having to witness the spectacle of cricket administrators and supporting cast, embarrassing the hell out of a people AGAIN. Although Test cricket does not hold the high place on the list for sports fans in the former colonies compared to the past. Let us accept that our inability to efficiently lead cricket reflects a large failing by people of the region to effectively lead most things.

James Altucher is an interesting guy. That's a pretty understated way to describe someone who is a serial entrepreneur, author of a number of books, creator of many podcasts and who now lives a nomadic existence with no home of his own and all of his possessions carried with him 24/7.
He had a post recently where he talked about the people Walt Disney surrounded himself with that enabled him to be successful. While Altucher does not fully buy into the "five people you surround yourself with notion" (something I wrote about recently with my "Those Five People" post), he did provide what I found to be a very solid infographic about this topic. While the people in your life do have an effect on who you are quite a bit, they aren't the sole influence in your life. As I wrote previously, you don't always have complete or immediate control over those 5 people you spend all of that time with, save for very radical life changes. However, the things he points out in his 5×5 rule is to clearly highlight the other areas you do have control over and their key impact on you:
I like this tweak since it's a more accurate reflection that accounts for things well beyond people… and while the people piece is hugely important, it's good to keep front of mind all the other factors which we each have the free will to effect upon ourselves each day.
And if you are reading this and chose to make this a small slice of your content for the day? Well, then I appreciate the heck out of you and hope I earn that every time these posts come out. I think all of you total more than five, but I can assure you that you're a big piece of my positive influence every day and I'm hugely grateful for that.


text: Syrian rebel fighters said Friday they have captured a strategic northern military base used by the government to bomb opposition strongholds. Rebel fighters and militants from various Islamic groups, including the jihadist al-Nusra Front, took part in the offensive, an opposition spokesman said. They've seized control of buildings, ammunition and military equipment at the base in Idlib province, the opposition said, signaling a major blow to President Bashar al-Assad's forces. "They are taking credit now for having taken the air base," U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters Friday. "And, as you know, we consider this significant on two fronts. "First of all, to ground some of the air assets of the Assad regime that they've been using against civilians. And, secondly, to break their ability to resupply in the north." Read more: Pentagon weighs how to secure Syria's chemical weapons The strategic base has been used by government forces to send explosives to areas in the north, according to the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. In addition to housing about government 400 soldiers, the group said, warplanes that attack the region were taking off from there. "The Taftanaz air base has been completely liberated," said Hamza Abu Hussam, a spokesman for the Binnish Coordination Committee, a local opposition group. "I went down to see with my own eyes and was able to get in." Read more: Terrorist group fills power vacuum among Syria rebels In a video posted on YouTube, opposition forces from various groups cheer and chant "God is great," purportedly after they took over the military airport. CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video. Brahimi: No military solution The U.N. and Arab League special envoy to Syria stressed Friday that there is "no military solution" to the brutal civil war being fought in the Arab nation. Lakhdar Brahimi made the remark after meeting with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns at the United Nations offices in Geneva, Switzerland. "We are all very, very deeply aware of the immense suffering of the Syrian people which has gone for far too long. And we all stressed the need for a speedy end to bloodshed, the destruction, and all forms violence in Syria," he said. "We stressed again, in our view, there is no military solution to this conflict." Syria accused Brahimi of bias Thursday, casting a shadow on efforts to end a war that, according to the United Nations, has killed more than 60,000 people in nearly two years. Brahimi has "deviated from the essence of his mission and clearly unveiled his bias to circles known for conspiring against Syria and the interests of the Syrian people," Syrian state media reported. The statement from Damascus was a response to a BBC interview in which Brahimi in effect called on al-Assad to resign. He said the president would have no place in the transition to a post-conflict Syria. "I think what people are saying is, a family ruling for 40 years is a little bit too long," Brahimi said, according to the interview Thursday. Al-Assad took over from his late father, who seized power in 1970 and ruled for three decades. Brahimi said both the United States and Russia want to help end the war and forge a future. The United States long has called for al-Assad to resign. Russia, which historically has had close ties with Syria, has blocked tough action against the government in the U.N. Security Council. "I'm absolutely certain the Russians are as preoccupied as I am, as Americans are, by the bad situation that exists in Syria and its continuing deterioration, and I'm absolutely certain they would like to contribute to its solution," he said. He cited the "absolute necessity" for pushing for a peaceful solution. "It is the wider international community," he said, particularly Security Council members, who "can really create the opening that is necessary to start effectively solving the problem." Securing chemical weapons The escalating conflict and the president's efforts to retain his grip on power have sparked a push to ensure that chemical weapons are secure. U.S. officials say they are working with nations in the Middle East to secure Syria's chemical and biological weapons sites. "We're not talking about ground troops, but it depends on what … happens in a transition," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday. Asked whether he had ruled out putting U.S. troops in Syria to secure such weapons, Panetta said: "You always have to keep the possibility that, if there is a peaceful transition and international organizations get involved, that they might ask for assistance in that situation. But in a hostile situation, we're not planning to ask for that." Russian navy holding exercises off Syria's coast Ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are heading to the eastern Mediterranean for exercises, the Russian Defense Ministry said. A tactical group of Black Sea Fleet warships, headed by the cruiser Moskva, will undertake exercises in the eastern sector of the Mediterranean Sea. The tanker Ivan Bubnov has fueled the ships, and emergency drills have been carried out for the upcoming exercises. The tanker filled up on fuel and water Thursday at the Cyprus port of Larnaka. A Baltic Fleet group consisting of the patrol vessel Yaroslav Mudry and tanker Lena will head for the eastern Mediterranean, where the two ships will practice stores transfers at sea. The patrol vessel will carry out anti-submarine warfare drills. Russia has a maintenance naval base at Tartus on the coast. No let-up in refugee flight The United Nations said Friday that more than 612,000 people have been registered as Syrian refugees or are "being assisted as such." There were 194,769 in Lebanon, 176,569 in Jordan, 153,163 in Turkey, 69,282 in Iraq, 13,292 in Egypt and 5,059 elsewhere in North Africa, the U.N. refugee agency said. "Even with the winter preparation work that has been done in recent months, many refugees in both camp and noncamp situations are facing particularly cold and damp conditions. At the same time, there has been no let-up in the numbers of people fleeing Syria into neighboring countries," the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said. Mia Farrow to meet refugees Actress and UNICEF goodwill ambassador Mia Farrow will visit Lebanon next week to meet with Syrian refugees, the organization said Friday. "As part of her mission she will appeal for additional international assistance as the needs and numbers of those fleeing Syria continue to rise," UNICEF said. Farrow will travel to two locations near the Syrian border to meet with refugees and host families. "Ms. Farrow will also help distribute winter clothing while there as many of the refugees fled Syria with very few belongings." Brutal winter weather is making dire conditions even more so in parts of the Middle East, especially for thousands of Syrian refugees enduring frigid temperatures in tents. More deaths The Syrian crisis started in March 2011, when peaceful protesters demanding democracy and reforms were met by a fierce government crackdown, which spiraled into an armed opposition movement and a civil war. At least 106 people were killed Friday, the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria said. Among them were 40 people killed in shelling by artillery and jet fighters in Hasaka province, in the northeastern part of the country. Read more: By the numbers: Syria deaths

Cards set to host camp for select Minor Leaguers
For third straight year, club to give prospects jump-start on new season
The only one of those top seven picks not participating is right-hander Michael Wacha, who instead earned a non-roster invitation to big league camp. Wacha was selected with the 19th overall pick of the Draft.
"The last two years that we have had it, it's gone well," farm director John Vuch said of this early program. "You look back over the names that have come to early camp, and it's guys who have gone on to have a really good year. It gives them a head start, a jump-start, to the season. We identify guys who would benefit from the extra work and individual work, but also guys who we think could have an impact year."
Early camp participants will report to Jupiter, Fla., on Feb. 22, with their first workout scheduled for the following day. The rest of the Minor League workouts don't begin until March 5 (pitchers/catchers) and March 7 (position players). The full list of players reporting for early camp is as follows:
PITCHERS: Seth Blair, Cooney, Victor De Leon, Sam Gaviglio, Tyrell Jenkins, Dean Kiekhefer, Zach Russell, Lee Stoppelman, Jordan Swagerty, Justin Wright
CATCHERS: Bean, Gerwuins Velazco
INFIELDERS: Kelly, Jake Lemmerman, Ildemaro Vargas, Colin Walsh, Jacob Wilson, Wisdom
OUTFIELDERS: Anthony Garcia, CJ McElroy, Tommy Pham, Piscotty, Ramsey, Charlie Tilson
While these players will take advantage of individualized instruction, they are also likely to be observed by members of the Major League coaching staff. Last year, Cardinals pitching coach Derek Lilliquist observed some of the Minor League players throw bullpen sessions. Cardinals third-base coach Jose Oquendo has also been known to dedicate some time to work with the infielders.
Early camp participants often take part in some educational session, as well. The past two years, for instance, they have met with members of the press in order to gain a better understanding of what media obligations await them as they climb through the system.
Two pitchers on this early camp list -- Jenkins and Swagerty -- were actually non-roster participants in Major League Spring Training last year. But with both returning from injuries, Vuch said that the Cardinals decided it would better to have both supervised in Minor League camp this spring.
That said, neither Jenkins nor Swagerty is expected to be limited once camp opens. Swagerty missed the entire 2012 season while recovering from elbow surgery. Jenkins suffered a shoulder injury late in the Minor League season. He is already in Jupiter, working out under the supervision of club staff.
"We felt it would be better for him to have a little more low-key atmosphere," Vuch said of the decision to keep Jenkins, 20, out of Major League camp. "If you're in big league camp, there can be the temptation to impress. It's safer for him to come in and not think he has to impress the big league guys."

Bernardina Dublon was born Bernardina Kahn, the daughter of Raphael Kahn. It is possible that her mother was Bernardina Nathan, perhaps the second wife of Raphael. Bernardina was born in Schweich in 1772 and married Bernard Dublon about 1790 in Wittlich.
I'm not sure about these dates or the progression, but the information we have so far suggests as follows:
Bernard and Bernardina had four children, all born in Wittlich, Germany:
Sara Brendel Dublon (15 April 1790 to 30 August 1835) – married Salomon Dublon – 10 children: Rachel (1820); David (1820); Michel (1822); Elisabeth (1824); Rachel Robert (1825); Johanna (1827); Bernard (1828); Samuel (1830); Sara (1832); Caroline (1834).
Joseph Dublon (1795-1863)
Rachel Dublon (b. 1800)
Caroline Helene Dublon (1802-1862) – married Abraham Schoemann on 2 August 1833 and had three children: Jacob (1837); Madeline (1839); Marcus (1845).
