BEAUTIFUL BRANSON

The Midwest has always had a special place in my heart and the reasons are many. But one of the main reasons is the atmosphere created by the beauty of the land and the goodness of the people. One of my favorite places in the Midwest is Branson, Missouri. Branson is an entertainment capital in the Midwest and has a lot to offer both young and old. They have a variety of shows that include magicians, rock 'n' roll, country, family harmonies, comedy, variety, dinner shows, gospel, and well-known performers that make appearances. Also, it is little known that Branson, Missouri has more theater seats than Broadway. And right now during the holidays it is the perfect time to visit.

The Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel have special packages they have put together just for this season. Whether you want to play miniature golf, enjoy go-carts, water parks, and history museums, you can do it all while staying in Branson. You can see the Titanic and even stop at the famous College of the Ozarks. It's a beautiful part of the country that has so much to offer. You will enjoy the spirit of the holidays with light displays, shows, parades, and the old time charm of Branson. Then at night you can retire in the luxury and comfort of either the Hilton Promenade or the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. I would encourage you to click on any of the above links and discover for yourself the beauty of Branson.

DAD CHARGED WITH MURDER

The father of an 11-year-old girl who died, likely of hypothermia, after trying to walk 10 miles in the snow on Christmas Day has been charged with second-degree murder and felony injury to a child. Before you condemn the father, it would be worth reading the whole article.......then you can condemn the father. This is an example of such poor parenting and now the damage is done. Picture a snow storm in Idaho.....wind, snow, freezing cold weather..........sad. Here's the story.

ANOTHER ATTACK IN THE PHILIPPINES

Two crude bombs packed with nails exploded minutes apart Thursday at a department store and a nearby clothing shop packed with Christmas shoppers in Iligan, a city in the southern Philippines, killing two people and wounding 48. This happened about a week ago and your guess is as good as mine...........more Abu Sayyaf. Here's a quote from Gloria, "The government will not stop hunting these terrorists until they are put behind bars." Thanks, I feel better now. Here's the story.

GETTING OUT OF DEBT

Now is the time of year people forget about all the rules of using debt and run up big credit card bills. It's Christmas and we love giving gifts, even if it means going deeper into debt. We worry about paying it off later. Even though those credit payments take away from our disposable income, sometimes to the point where we have trouble making all of our other payment obligations. That's when we get into trouble. Now there are a variety of Debt Management Plans out there that promise many things including getting you out of debt fast. But there is one particular program that can truly help get you out of debt faster than you think. Clear Debt offers a program (IVA) that can do the following:

• An IVA will cut the amount you owe (typically by 50% but in some cases by up to 70%)
• An IVA will freeze the interest you pay
• An IVA will legally prevent creditors taking action against you

An IVA or Individual Voluntary Arrangement is a legally binding agreement with your creditors. If you are in debt and are having a hard time making ends meet and desire help with your debt, then click the above link. You will be taken to the Clear Debt website where you will find plenty of debt help and an IVA which may be the answer to your getting out of debt.

MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY!!!

It's Dana's birthday! Not today, but tomorrow, December 20! Earlier, we attended a christmas party, went home late, got tired and now, he's in bed sleeping. I got up just to make a short post so when he wakes up in the morning, and go to work, he'll read this post! This will be an early surprise for him, and hopefully this will make him smile and happy.

I want to pour myself out for him and be his everything. In my eyes he is flawless. In my eyes he is beyond gorgeous. In my eyes he brings light and life! In my heart, I am soooooo grateful for him! He brings me what nothing else can and no one else could, real life and real love living deep within my heart, running through the course of my veins spilling over into my very best giving I can possibly do whether it be things, thoughts, words or deeds....it's all because of him, my loving and wonderful husband!

I feel so blessed the man I found was him. When I look at the life we've created - our home, our family, our marriage, I always tell myself how lucky I am that God brought Dana to me. We've shared the same dreams, we've shared the same hopes, the same ideas and thoughts about how to live and raise a family... And through it all, I've come to appreciate him even more! Everyday for the rest of my life, I thank the Lord for him!

Happy Birthday my asawa! You're still young ok? hehe! I told Daniel it will be your birthday very soon and he smiled so wide. He and I are planning something behind the scene, we will make you feel like you are the most important person in the world and the most important person in our lives because...you are! I love you so much Sweetheart!!!

REMEMBERING LEA

We blogged recently about a Fil-Am tragedy where a Filipina was swept out to sea during a marriage proposal. Remember Leafil - also known as Yang-Yang? Here is that post to refresh your memory. Recently on that post we had a comment from someone who was at the scene shortly after it happened and has more of a first hand perspective......here are their comments:

"As someone who was on location shortly after the fact, I have talked to other eyewitnesses and people who arrived shortly after Leafil, or YangYang as she was known to her family, was swept away. Everyone seems to have the same opinion that this tragedy should never have happened. Her fiance was warned about the dangers only minutes before and he chose to ignore the warnings.

As an American who has become a friend of the Alforque family, and who communicates with them daily, we have created a website to help people to remember Leafil Alforque and to provide regular updates on this story. You can go to that site by CLICKING HERE. We suggest that you send messages of encouragement to the family using one of the links on that site. We also welcome input for the site to help people better understand what this loss means to her family. Unfortunately, most Americans do not understand the close family ties of even extended families in the Philippines. We welcome any input."

My wife and I are deeply touched by this story and we encourage everyone to visit the "Remembering Leafil Alforque" website. You are able to send messages to her family - let's overwhelm them with messages of love and support! Please do so today!

ALL ROADS LEAD HOME

Movie night at our house is usually Friday or Saturday night. We pop popcorn, have plenty of chips and soda and plop ourselves down in front of the TV for a relaxing time. Even though we love horror movies, it is still relaxing to be together and snuggle up to a movie. We also enjoy comedies and suspense filled movies. Many times after a movie is finished, we will just look at each other and our thoughts are the same - "That movie had a horrible ending" or "That movie stunk!" Sometimes it is hard to tell whether a movie will be good or not and then there are times where you just know the movie will be great. And one of those is All Roads Lead Home The Movie.

Sometimes we really crave a movie with a great message, a great theme that makes us feel good. All Roads Lead Home is one of those movies. I would encourage you to watch the above trailer and you will get a taste of what an exciting and meaningful movie this is. The movie is about learning to live again after a family tragedy, it's about growing up, and it's about the importance of animals in our emotional lives. It is truly a family movie in every sense of the word and is appropriate for kids of all ages.

Searching for a great movie on movie night? Then search no further....simply watch the video trailer and click the above link to be taken to the "All Roads Lead Home" website where you can view more scenes and get more details. They even let you pre-order before it's release date. Check out this truly great movie today!

4 YEAR OLD CRIMINAL?

Link:

Not hardly....maybe 4 year old victim.........click the above link and watch a disturbing video...................police say at 2:59 a.m. Monday, officers responded to an alarm at the Family Dollar Store. Officers arrived and began to check the building. They discovered that one of the two front doors was not secured. There was no sign of forced entry. Police went inside the store and found a four-year-old child playing with toys in the store.

Questions:

1. Why is a four year old little boy out on his own at 3:00am?
2. How much jail time will the parents get?
3. Who will his foster parents be?

When you watch the video you can't help but think the little boy is somewhat cute but the fact that he is out on his own at 3:00 in the morning makes you wonder..............here's the whole story.

FREE BLOG PICTURES

Something that adds spice and interest to a blog post are blog pictures. They add a visual to the view that can be both attractive and interesting. One of the problems of using pictures is finding a good and reliable picture host. The best one I have found is called Acobox.com. They collect, screen, and host quality pictures for bloggers. All images are properly licensed, optimized, and ready use with blogs. They make it easy and simple to use.

Here a just a few simple reasons all bloggers should use Acobox:

1. A centralized place to go for all of your blog picture needs (no need to search the web for just the right picture)
2. No worries about trademark, copyright or licensing issues (they properly license the photo for you)
3. You don't have to download the picture because they host the image for you (this makes a world of difference when loading a blog page - the above picture is from Acobox!)
4. You don't have to resize the image because you can choose a size that is best for your page (customizable)
5. It's free (most importantly)

I would encourage every blogger reading this to click the above link and check out Acobox. This is a tremendous site offering a one-stop shop to get all the photos and pictures you will ever need for your blog.

$97,000 FIND

A Murfreesboro, TN woman says she returned $97,000 she claims to have found in a Cracker Barrel restroom. Billie Watts, 75, told The Daily News Journal that she discovered the money inside a tapestry bag hanging from a hook on a stall door.

It doesn't get more honest than that! $97,000!!! That's a lot of money to let go of and return completely in tact, but she did the right thing. She said the owner was an elderly woman who had recently sold her home and was moving to Florida to start a new life. What if she didn't return the money? Life would certainly be different. Here's the story.

FINDING ANONYMOUS

Do you ever wish you knew who some of your "anonymous" blog visitors were? There are actually several good reasons to know this. For security purposes in exposing spammers, hackers and other unwanted site visitors, it's important that you watch over who visits your websites and where they are coming from. And there is a way to identify each and every visitor to your website - through the visitor's IP address. Likewise there are a number of software packages that can accomplish this but there is one that really stands out. IP2Location produces software that identifies a visitor's geographical location (ie. country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, connection speed, ISP and domain name, IDD country code, area code, weather station code and name). This is more than enough information you need to protect your blog or website.

The software itself, called IP2Proxy IP-COUNTRY Anonymous Proxy List, is capable of producing a proxy list of IP addresses exposing "anonymous" and their location. While this is easier said than done, it is possible to know information about your unknown visitors and IP2Location is the best software for the job. In fact, we have included the code in our blog so we are able to track and see not only the "known" visitors but those who show up as an Anonymous Proxy as well. If you are reading this and are a webmaster or blog owner, this software is more important than you may realize and by clicking here, you will be able to get more information and even try out the software on a trial basis.

SNAKE EATS CHICKEN

An Australian woman submitted stunning photographs of a python killing and eating a chicken in her Cairns yard to Cairns.com.au on Tuesday. Public relations consultant Sarah Fraser told the site that "never in her wildest dreams" did she expect to see pythons at her home in a residential suburb.

Not that is something you don't see everyday - a snake eating a chicken. It is pretty phenomenal it was all caught on camera and I bet she made some money selling them to Cairns.com. What an experience - here's the story.

I couldn't quite believe my eyes when I saw this precious little boy - that he is actually 11 YEARS old and the same height as our 9 MONTH old little boy. It's a mystery as to why he is so underdeveloped but I would have to say he is very precious no matter his height or weight. Here are more pictures.
