In her own <a title="http://www.dollywood.com/" href="http://www.dollywood.com/">Celebrity Theater</a>, the singer spent an emotional and poignant afternoon singing the songs and sharing the stories of the time she and <a title="http://www.porterwagoner.net/" href="http://www.porterwagoner.net/">Porter</a> spent together and the impact the legend had on all who surrounded him. <a title="http://www.dollyparton.com/" href="http://www.dollyparton.com/">Parton</a> also took the opportunity to surprise manager, and original Wagon Master, Don Warden with an induction into the Missouri based <a title="http://www.scottysmusic.com/" href="http://www.scottysmusic.com/">Steel Guitar Hall of Fame</a>. The <a title="http://www.dollywood.com/" href="http://www.dollywood.com/">Dollywood</a> Theater was transformed with familiar sets from the long-running country music show and <a title="http://www.dollyparton.com/" href="http://www.dollyparton.com/">Dolly’s</a> band, The Backwoods Boys, dressed in the signature costumes from the era. <a title="http://www.dollyparton.com/" href="http://www.dollyparton.com/">Dolly,</a> herself, wore a <a title="http://www.porterwagoner.net/" href="http://www.porterwagoner.net/">Porter</a>-inspired outfit to set the mood for the afternoon.<br /><a href="http://www.dollysimaginationlibrary.com/"></a>“This won’t be a sad time,” she assured the crowd. “This will be a happy time!” The private event was attended by Wagoner’s children and grand children and many of the <a title="http://www.opry.com/" href="http://www.opry.com/">Grand Ole Opry</a> stars who had performed with him during his long and successful career. “<a title="http://www.porterwagoner.net/" href="http://www.porterwagoner.net/">The Porter Wagoner Show</a>” debuted on syndicated television in 1960 and the flashy country star brought new talent <a title="http://www.dollyparton.com/" href="http://www.dollyparton.com/">Dolly Parton</a> aboard in 1967. <a title="http://www.dollyparton.com/" href="http://www.dollyparton.com/">Parton</a> credits his support and the popularity of their duets together, as the foundation of her own success. <a title="http://bp3.blogger.com/_G8s8vBprM5c/SAITcB_zA0I/AAAAAAAAAF8/D9s41M-gbgE/s1600-h/Tribute-5.jpg" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_G8s8vBprM5c/SAITcB_zA0I/AAAAAAAAAF8/D9s41M-gbgE/s1600-h/Tribute-5.jpg"></a>During the emotional memorial, Wagon Master <a title="http://www.scottysmusic.com/" href="http://www.scottysmusic.com/">steel guitar player</a> Don Warden was surprised by <a title="http://www.dollyparton.com/" href="http://www.dollyparton.com/">Parton</a> with a tribute of his own. Dressed in the original costume he wore on the famed show, Warden was gifted with a sculpture from <a title="http://www.dollyparton.com/" href="http://www.dollyparton.com/">Parton</a> who described him as her “Angel on Earth” and told of his induction into the <a title="http://www.scottysmusic.com/" href="http://www.scottysmusic.com/">Steel Guitar Hall of Fame</a>.

Timmons, owner of the Sevierville based media design company, was contacted by representatives from <a title="http://www.americanidol.com/" href="http://www.americanidol.com/">American Idol</a> to create the visual animation for Parton’s appearance on episodes airing this week. “It isn’t every day you see <a title="http://www.americanidol.com/" href="http://www.americanidol.com/">American Idol</a> on caller ID!” Timmons laughed.On Tuesday night, Sevier county’s hometown celebrity is sharing her wisdom and years of performance experience with the Idol finalists celebrating her music. Parton will be performing her new hit “Jesus and Gravity” live during the elimination phase of the show Wednesday evening.

"The other reason was that I just wanted to drive the van."<br />Settle has come a long way since those days. He can be seen in the role of former rock star-turned-New York art dealer Rufus Humphrey in the CW hit series "Gossip Girl" (9 p.m. Wednesdays, WBXX, Channel 20).<br />The series, which premiered in September, has been a particular hit in the Knoxville area. Most weeks, its audience here rivals those in major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.<br />The show centers on a group of high-school students attending a posh private school in Manhattan where reputation is everything. The lives of the students are highly dramatic and documented often on a Web site run by a shadowy figure simply known as Gossip Girl.<br />Rufus has two teenage children attending the private academy. They're middle-class kids and don't fit into this world filled with rich and privileged teenagers.<br />But Rufus makes sure his kids don't fall into their classmates' materialistic ways. There's none of that "do as I say, don't do as I do" stuff for Rufus. He is straight with his teenage children, Jenny (Taylor Momsen) and Dan (Penn Badgley), about what to expect out of life.<br />Like his character's kids facing class struggles in the school setting of "Gossip Girl," Settle has also been there and done that.<br />Reared in a household in which his father's meager salary as a minister kept the family fed, Settle attended Seymour Christian Academy, a private Christian school. His values may have melded with the other students', but he was surrounded by classmates whose families often had larger incomes.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2007/nov/20/gossip-girl-actor-familiar-struggles-faced-shows/">more</a><br /><a href="http://www.sdwebpros.com/">Blog brought to you by S.D.

Keeping the phrase would open officials to criticism they're oblivious to the credit squeeze that's threatening growth.<br />``They pretty much tried to draw a line in the sand by going to a balanced-risks statement at the last meeting, and now the world's changed,'' said Keith Hembre, who used to work at the Fed and is now chief economist in Minneapolis at FAF Advisors Inc., which manages $105 billion. Officials will ``leave themselves the opening'' for further cuts, he said.<br />Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is trying to steer through the housing recession that entered its third year and alleviate a jump in borrowing costs for companies and consumers. The FOMC will lower the benchmark rate by a quarter point to 4.25 percent, according to 113 of 123 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Seven anticipate a half-point move and three see no change.<br />Officials may also enhance their efforts at providing a backstop for bank funding amid a surge in demand for cash, some economists said. Options include reducing the charge for direct loans to banks by half a point, to 4.5 percent.<br />Most Since Recession<br />The Fed is scheduled to announce its decision at about 2:15 p.m. in Washington. A quarter point rate cut, after 0.75 percentage point of reductions in September and October, would mark the greatest easing of borrowing costs since the last recession in 2001.<br />Bernanke and Vice Chairman Donald Kohn recognized in speeches last month a deterioration in credit markets that jeopardizes lending to businesses and consumers, threatening spending. That was a shift from the Oct. 31 statement, when officials signaled they were reluctant to do more.<br />``The reality is, markets have gotten worse in a way they couldn't have expected, and they've gotten worse to a point where there are legitimate concerns that it will spill over to the macroeconomy,'' said Vincent Reinhart, who was Bernanke's chief staff adviser on monetary policy before leaving in September to join the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. ``Not acting would be too much of a surprise.''<br />Traders estimate a 26 percent chance of a half-point reduction today, with a quarter-point fully discounted, according to futures prices quoted on the Chicago Board of Trade.<br />Recession Calls<br />Economists including former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and the chief U.S. economists of Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch & Co. predicted a recession in the past month as strains in credit markets increased.<br />The collapse of the U.S. subprime mortgage market has led Citigroup Inc., Merrill and other banks and securities firms around the world to write down about $76 billion of losses and markdowns this year.<br />Concern about the mounting losses diminished banks' willingness to lend cash to each other, sending funding costs higher. The three-month dollar London Interbank Offered Rate climbed to as high as 65 basis points more than the Fed's benchmark rate last week. That's the widest spread, except for on Sept. 18 when the Fed cut rates, in seven years.<br />Yields on two-year Treasury notes dropped as low as 2.79 percent on Dec. 4, the lowest since November 2004, as investors flocked to the perceived safety of government debt.<br />Demand for Cash<br />The scarcity of cash comes at a time when banks typically conserve funds to buttress balance sheets before closing their books for the year.<br />The Fed's New York branch said Nov. 26 it planned a series of repurchase agreements extending into 2008 to help fill cash shortages. Stephen Cecchetti, a former New York Fed research chief, said officials may consider further steps, such as extending discount-rate loan terms to 90 days, from 30. The outstanding loans rose to the highest since September last week.<br />``If I backed myself into this position, I would grit my teeth and just cut, big time,'' said Cecchetti, who is now a professor at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts.<br />Some Fed officials indicated heightened concern inflation would quicken, before Bernanke and Kohn spoke two weeks ago. Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said Nov. 27 that price expectations may increase because of the rate cuts. Kansas City Fed Bank President Thomas Hoenig dissented in favor of unchanged rates at the Oct. 30-31 meeting.<br />U.K., Canada<br />Any attempt to signal that inflation and growth risks are similar would be out of step with the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, which highlighted concerns about financial markets when they cut rates last week. The U.K. central bank on Dec. 6 echoed its Canadian counterpart from two days before in citing ``downside'' risks to consumer prices.<br />``Inflation risks are present, but it is very hard to argue they are on par with growth risks,'' said Brian Sack, senior economist at Macroeconomic Advisers LLC in Washington and a former researcher at the Fed. ``We'll see a more flexible message, more attuned to the downside growth risks.''<br />To contact the reporter on this story: Scott Lanman in Washington at <a href="mailto:slanman@bloomberg.net">slanman@bloomberg.net</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sdwebpros.com/">Blog brought to you by S.D.

Not that I know much about her except that she sang 9 to 5."That's about the top and bottom of my knowledge. And I think the literacy scheme is a good idea."My objection is over the timing. We have vital business to discuss, for example the siting of a power station in the middle of a nature reserve. And we have few enough council meetings as it is."Mr Mannion said he believed Parton was invited to the town because the Labour-led council leader Roger Stone was quite partial to her country and western charms."I suppose my complaints will fall on deaf ears and that some might say it's a storm in D-cup, or double D-cup," Mr Mannion said."But it's the principle."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogdolly.com/">more</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sdwebpros.com/">Blog brought to you by S.D.

"This legislation will necessitate a state franchising process and diminish local authority to negotiate much needed (public education channels) and cable television service to schools and libraries," the letter states, adding, "Statewide franchise agreements will <span style="color:#ff0000;">complicate the market</span> and inhibit local monitoring of franchise fee payments and audits."<br /><br />In this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" style="color:#cc0000;">bloggers</span> opinion, I do agree that the local authorities have every right to protect <span style="color:#ff0000;">our interests</span> however, I have a "gut feeling" they are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">protecting</span> their pockets instead.

Ask Google…that’s our answer!<br /><br /><strong>Veteran Web Design</strong>:: Website design, marketing, and ecommerce – Home<br />The biggest “text” statement I can find on the homepage besides the error on line 114, was that the owner of the site is a military veteran and of course during a time of war especially <em>that</em> did tug at my heartstrings a little but immediately I got turned off by the blonde woman intruding on my web page and talking to the top of her lungs. I mean come on, what if I was trying to watch this in a library or maybe in a hospital lounge or in school areas? Things like video commercial containing annoying sound that do not give me the option to first turn them on, are big reasons for me to leave the page quickly and never return!<br /><br /><strong>Information I found form their homepage:</strong><br /><strong>Homepage</strong><br /><strong>Company Page Link:</strong> This is a bit confusing but after several clicks you do find a contact template for that I only assume will work.<br /><strong>External link for Hosting provided by another company<br />Portfolio:</strong> Not too bad. There were a few dead/broken links but for the most part I thought it was not bad!<br /><strong>Pricing:</strong> This is one I did a bit of research on before I decided to comment. Now, here you have a list of things they do with basic pricing beside them. However, it appears after some research, that you will NEVER get any of those services for the prices listed since things that normal web searchers would consider “standard/included” in fact are not. For example: Veteran Web Design offers an E-Commerce website. This means they offer to build a website for you which would allow you to sell items online. However, their price only includes, well we couldn’t really find out exactly what it includes! We did find out that it does NOT include the actually feature that is key for e-commerce called a gateway. Basically, if you want to sell on the internet, you have to have an e-commerce site and that site has to have a gateway (kind like a credit card machine). I don’t know of any reputable web firms that try to sell an e-commerce website that leaves the client unable to sell but in fact that is the e-commerce veterans seem to be offering!<br /><br /><strong>Bottom Line:</strong><br /><br />We thought it would in fact be interesting to compare <a href="http://www.sdwebpros.com/">http://www.sdwebpros.com/</a> to some of the other sites that sometimes display in search results pages so that you could quickly see why they remain on top!<br /><br /><strong>Happy Black Friday everyone and be careful out there shopping today!!!!</strong><br /></p>iPhone Web Designershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00603333861551593497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801655036873617696.post-71318124347259132082007-11-21T10:15:00.001-05:002007-11-21T10:17:45.314-05:00Dolly Parton Leads Macy's Thanksgiving Parade<a href="http://www.dollyparton.com/"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.americansoldierblog.com/uploaded_images/dollyparton18_07_v_e-732275.jpg" border="0" />Dolly Parton</a> will take her new single <a href="http://www.dollyparton.com/">"Better Get to Livin'"</a> to the streets of New York City when she kicks off the 2007 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, November. 22.Dolly will be on the lead float to perform the song live and on television during the morning parade.

(AP) -- Tennessee linebacker Jerod Mayo could only watch as a kick that could've knocked the Volunteers out of contention for a Southeastern Conference title sailed over his head.<br />"I saw it drifting, said 'Thank God' and just walked off the field," Mayo said.<br />Vanderbilt's Bryant Hahnfeldt barely missed a 49-yard field goal with 33 seconds left -- the ball grazed the upright -- and the 19th-ranked Vols escaped with a 25-24 come-from-behind win over the Commodores on Saturday.<br />A 33-yard field goal by Daniel Lincoln with 2:46 left capped Tennessee's second-largest fourth-quarter comeback in history. The Vols came from 17 points down in a 30-27 overtime win over LSU in 2005.<br />Georgia beat Kentucky earlier in the day and would have won the SEC East and a spot in the conference title game if the Vols lost. Tennessee must beat Kentucky on Saturday to earn a trip to Atlanta to face LSU for a league championship on Dec. 1.<br />The Vols (8-3, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) entered the final quarter down 15 points after Vandy went up 24-9 on a 2-yard pass from Mackenzi Adams to George Smith with 9:00 left in the third.<br />Tennessee's defense forced the Commodores (5-6, 2-6) to go three-and-out on two drives to set up touchdown passes by Erik Ainge. Ainge threw a 7-yard TD pass to Josh Briscoe, followed by a 5-yard TD pass to Austin Rogers to bring the Vols within two points with 7:14 left in the game.<br /><br /><a href="http://livestats.epiccycle.com/tennessee/boxscores/07-08/football/UT11.HTM" target="_blank">Final Stats</a> - <a href="http://livestats.epiccycle.com/tennessee/boxscores/07-08/football/TEAMSTAT.HTM" target="_blank">Season Stats</a> - <a href="http://www.utsports.com/football/article.aspx?id=44392">Postgame Notes</a> - <a href="http://www.utsports.com/football/article.aspx?id=44402">Postgame Quotes</a> - <a href="http://www.utsports.com/common/photogallerycenter.aspx?albumId=44374" target="_blank">Photo Gallery</a> - <a href="http://utsports.com/Multimedia/Default.aspx?id=34018" target="_blank">Video/Audio Highlights</a> - <a href="http://www.utsports.com/uploadedFiles/Sports/Football/Articles/20071117vufinal.pdf" target="_blank">Final Stats (PDF)</a> - <a href="http://www.utsports.com/uploadedFiles/Sports/Football/Articles/20071117season.pdf" target="_blank">Season Stats (PDF)</a> - <a href="http://www.utsports.com/uploadedFiles/Sports/Football/Articles/20071117vupgnotes.pdf" target="_blank">Postgame Notes (PDF)</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sdwebpros.com/">Blog by S.D.

Cherry Grove to Charleston, South Carolinians are making plans to attend this fantastic event.<br />Never has there been so much excitement to fill the air. Maybe it’s because the event will feature an exclusive video remote by Dolly Parton and the people of South Carolina really are excited about having Dolly’s Imagination Library in their communities for their children.<br />Thanks to a media blitz including internet marketing, print media, radio media and television media such as an exclusive interview with Dolly Parton, the effort of local man, Jacob Timmons along with his friends the Partons, as well as Kingstree Mayor Jim Kirby and Pig Pickin’ director of events Mike Kirby seem to be paying off Big Time! From local news papers to national print publications, from public television and radio to national broadcast stations, everyone is talking about this exciting news worthy event that’s taking place at the Kingstree Recreation Park in Kingstree. SC.<br />Local businesses and major corporations are all jumping onboard to help raise awareness for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program so that it can soon become a reality for all children of South Carolina!<br />“I am so happy to hear the buzz around South Carolina about this benefit concert” said producer, Jacob Timmons, “I am certain that the event will be a complete success thanks to the great entertainment provided by Randy Parton’s Entertainment Group as well as the unequaled local dedication by Mike Kirby & Mayor Jim Kirby. I just can’t tell you how good it makes me feel to know these community-involved gentlemen, along with many other wonderful people in the area have stepped up to the plate and taken this idea full speed ahead!”<br />More on Timmons interview:<br /> When Timmons was asked why he chose Kingstree, SC as the location for the first annual Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Benefit Concert, he responded “It’s the ONLY option as far as I am concerned! It’s my hometown, where I was born and raised, and I feel that since I have been blessed with such a great opportunity to help give back to my community, I absolutely must give it me best, regardless of what it will take to make this happen and you know it doesn’t hurt to know that an added benefit of all of this is that I am sure this will make my mama proud!”<br />During our interview, Timmons continued to reminisce of when he and his family were hard working farmers in rural areas outside of Kingstree city limits. It seems even though the days of farming and working at their family ran market “Timmons’ Produce” were many times hard, to say the least, Timmons wouldn’t want it any other way.<br />“I know that my work ethic and love of family and community are all because of the way my parents and grandparents raised me. There were MANY days that I absolutely hated farming and could wish for nothing else than to leave those fields and never look back. Well it’s 10 years this year that I have been in Tennessee (almost 7 hours away fro those fields) and honestly, I just can’t wait to get home now. It’s everything I can do to drive the speed limit once I get off that interstate simply because I am so excited to see my family and catch up on the goings-on. I see now and only now that being raised by a farming family that always struggled to make ends meet did in fact make me a stronger man and for that I am thankful. Now with this opportunity I have, I want to call on the community of Kingstree, SC to show the rest of the nation what we are all made of. I mean really, this event will get national attention and I want everyone to see that if we can come together and make this happen for our community then it will be known that with a little perseverance and effort anyone in the country can do the same thing for their hometown, so come on Kingstree, let’s set the bar!”<br />NEWS DEVELOPMENTS:<br />Thanks to local and national businesses coming forward to help with the event, the Williamsburg County Imagination Library is having 2 vacation raffles.<br />Raffle Tickets available now for 2 fantastic vacations!<br />- Great Smoky Mountain Christmas Vacation including<br />o Family 4 Pack tickets to Dollywood<br />o $500.00 Cabin Rental Gift Certificate<br />o Lunch for 4 at Johnny Corino’s<br />- Roanoke Rapids Family Fun Pack Vacation<br />o Family 4 pack tickets to Randy Parton Christmas Show 2007<br />o Dinner for 4 at Logan’s Steak House<br />o Hotel Accommodations for 4<br />*All prizes to be awarded during Sunday nights performance.<br />Concert Giveaways<br />_ Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library General Store<br />_ Free Youth T-shirts<br />_ Free Baby Onesies<br />_ Free Bella Baby Bibs<br />_ Free Polo Shirts<br />_ Free Posters<br />_ Free Tote Bags<br />_ Kingdom Heirs Dollywood’s Award Winning Gospel Quartet<br />_ Free Music Giveaways<br />_ Free DVD Giveaways<br />* For a complete list of raffle ticket locations in your area call 865-774-9023.<br />Businesses Interested in joining the movement:<br />If you are a business interested in sponsoring the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Benefit Concert, please call 865-774-9023 or visit <a href="http://www.jacobtimmons.com/">www.jacobtimmons.com</a>. <br />Kingstree/Bi-Lo Pig Pickin’ Information:<br />For additional information about the 35th Annual Pig Pickin’ Festival, visit <a href="http://www.kingstreepigpickin.com/">www.kingstreepigpickin.com</a> or call the town of Kingstree at 843-355-7484.<br /><br />About Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library<br />Founded in 1996, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a non-profit organization that gives hundreds of thousands of books each month to registered children until the age of five in participating communities all over the United States and Canada.
