Powered by an 80-inch V-twin engine, and adorned with stylish steel fenders and a flangeless fuel tank, the 2013 Yamaha V Star 1300 is a big cruiser that manages to just avoid being too big. The bike's combination of quality, head-turning looks and performance make the 2013 V Star 1300 an appealing choice for any rider who's looking for a capable city and highway cruiser. This year's model offers the same power, performance and styling riders have come to expect from the V Star 1300 cruiser. However for 2013, the V Star has also been decked out with an array of modern extras that further add to its formidable appeal.
The 2013 Yamaha V Star 1300 is a midsize cruiser model built by Yamaha's Star Motorcycle imprint. The V Star brings an appealing combination of modern yet classic styling and a ride that's light and sporty. The V Star 1300 is driven by an 80-cubic-inch, 1340cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected V-twin engine. The engine generates excellent across-the-board power and produces an exhaust note that's all-but-guaranteed to prick up the ears of motorcycle aficionados everywhere. The V Star 1300's modern-classic design relies in part on a two-into-one exhaust that lends the bike its distinctive appearance. Nearly half of the V Star's weight falls onto its front tire, thanks to the bike's steel chassis. This distribution of weight results in excellent maneuverability as well as handling that is quick and light. The 2013 Yamaha V Star 1300 also maintains several authentically cruiser features, including a belt drive, steel fenders, and customization possibilities that are decidedly open. Yamaha's Star Accessories Catalog gives riders the unique opportunity to choose from an array of quality parts and accessories that can allow them to express their individuality. With fuel economy being an estimated 42 mpg, riders can enjoy a full 200 miles of cruising without having to stop at a station.
The V Star's massive 1340cc liquid-cooled engine relies on a single overhead cam 60-degree V-twin with dual counterbalancers to help facilitate performance that's ultra-smooth. The bike has a twin-barrel fuel injection system that's controlled by computer and helps provide an optimal mixture in any temperature or altitude. Shifting is smooth and easy thanks to the V Star's efficient five-speed transmission. The V Star's seat features a special dish shape for greater rider comfort, while also making it easy to touch the ground when mounted on the bike. The 2013 Yamaha V Star 1300 is an elegant, classically styled bike with decidedly modern elements. With steel fenders, paint, and chrome working in harmony, the V Star is definitely an attention-grabber. The tank is adorned by a 3D emblem design that further evokes the bike's modern-classic image. Even the headlight housing and belt guard on the 2013 V Star are chrome. The frame on the other hand, is finished in gloss black, adding to the bike's overall look of quality. Instrumentation on the bike is bar-mounted and also features retro-modern styling, with an analog speedometer, LCD display, indicator lights for high beams, turn signals, low oil level, low fuel indicator, coolant/temperature, neutral, and even an engine diagnostic indicator. Spaciousness and rider comfort are maximized, thanks to floorboards and the heel/toe shifter makes it very easy to navigate the V Star's five-speed gearbox. Out front a bright, multi-reflector headlight adorns the V Star, while in the rear there's an LED taillight and amber turn signals behind clean lenses. Seven-spoke aluminum wheels finish off the V Star's cool retro-modern look.

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- December 7th marks the 71st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, an attack that shocked the United States and triggered a declaration of war against Japan.
On the anniversary, those who survived the war are taking the day to reflect and remember.
"I was in my girlfriend's living room and we were discussing getting married."
James Vick, 90, will never forget the moment he heard the news of Pearl Harbor and 90-year-old Bob Bennett knew it was about to change his life.
"I'm a solider, I'm nearly 19 years old," said Bennett.
At Emeritus at Chandler Place senior living in Rock Hill, they're honoring the 71st anniversary of Pearl Harbor and sharing their experience with each other.
Both World War II vets were called to serve after Pearl Harbor. Vick trained to fly B-24 bombers and says the horrific incident was their motivation.
"Every time most of us would think about the situation we had two words, damn Japs, so therefore our inspiration was purely and simply payback," said Vick.
Bennett flew B-29's.
"It gave you incentive to go to war, something you had to do," said Bennett.
A memory that both say feels like yesterday including, that famous speech and those famous words.
"Roosevelt's speech, that day was lived in infamy," said Bennett.
Seventy-one years later both men lived to tell their stories and carry the memories.
"I think about it probably at least once or twice a week," said Vick.
And they're glad to know that the country hasn't forgotten the sacrifice so many made for our freedom.
"I always recognize it and I feel it should be recognized by the nation," said Vick.

The New Deal
Homecoming is the ninth episode of the third season of The Vampire Diaries and the fifty-third episode of the series.
SummaryROCK BAND My Morning Jacket PERFORMS — On the night of the Homecoming dance, Rebekah opens up to Elena about why the evening is so important to her, leaving Elena with conflicting emotions. Caroline and Matt are both shocked at Tyler's behavior throughout the evening. The evening takes a surreal turn when Klaus puts his latest plan in action. Determined to outsmart Klaus, Damon enters in a dangerous partnership, leading to a terrifying turn of events. The band My Morning Jacket performs in the party scenes.
In the episode, the plan to kill Klaus once and for all is set in motion. Damon and Elena enlist the help of Mikael to lure Klaus back to Mystic Falls after he fled because of hearing a rumor about Mikael being back there. The plan involves Elena daggering Mikael and then un-daggering him, after Stefan had talked to Klaus to get him back. Stefan made the call to Klaus and told him that Mikael was dead. Klaus requested that his body be delivered to him. Later on in the bathroom, Damon and Elena are making wolfsbane grenades. Elena is telling Damon how many ways the plan can go wrong, that Rebekah might be on their side now, but Klaus is her brother in the end.

Body Count
Production Notes
- This is the first mid-season finale to not feature Jeremy, Alaric or Jenna.
- This is the last episode (before the two month hiatus) of 2011. The series continued airing on January 5, 2012.
- This is the first time Klaus and Mikael came face to face in years.
- This is the first mid-season finale to feature Klaus.
- This is the second mid-season finale to feature Katherine.
- Katherine makes her final appearance as a main character in this episode, and is therefore put on hold as a regular until she returns in future episodes.
- Klaus returns (in the present) in this episode. He was last seen in The Reckoning and in Ordinary People, he appears in a series of flashbacks.
- Katherine Pierce returns in this episode. She was last seen in Smells Like Teen Spirit when Mikael fed on her. This is the last time she appeared in Season Three.
- Anna was mentioned by Bonnie. She was last seen in Ghost World.
- Tyler was last seen in Smells Like Teen Spirit.
- Caroline and Matt were last seen in Ghost World.
Cultural References
- Homecoming is an American tradition, where alumni are invited to return to their Alma mater, usually for a special Football game. Normally there are several activities including a parade, cultural events and decade dances. The homecoming tradition started in 1911, so Rebekah would have heard of this dance.
- Portland is a city in Oregon. It was incorporated in 1851, coincidental just a few years before Mystic Falls. It is home to bands such as Paul Revere & the Raiders. Recently its been home to a number of indie bands.
- Caroline says she does not want to get into a "vampire threesome" with Tyler. A threesome can mean many things, but usually it means when three people are engaged in sexual activity together. It's a common element in sexual fantasies, and it is hinted that's what Katherine wanted with the Salvatore brothers.
- Beer Pong is a drinking game where players try to land a ping pong ball at a cup of beer at the other side of the table. Rules vary tremendously. Elena also mention kegs - in past episodes they always show somebody chugging at beer kegs.
- Big Bad Wolf is a term used to describe the fictional wolf that appear in many cautionary fairy tales, like Red Riding Hood and Aesop's fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf. He is an archetype of a menacing, predatory antagonist.
- Elena says that they must let Stefan go. "Let him go" is a song by Bob Marley, may also reference TVD's own soundtrack music, "Holding on and Letting Go", because although they say they are letting him go, they are actually holding on to hope.
- This is a great example of Unspoken Plan Guarantee: the very detailed the Zany Scheme is more likely to fail. It's Katherine's simple unspoken plan that works in the end...
Behind the Scenes
- This episode had about 3.33 million viewers in the USA.
- Mikael: "This is the only weapon that can kill an Original. So I think I'll hold onto it, no offense"
- Mikael: "You do what you can, and I will kill him."
- Damon: "Elena, if this thing blows up in our face, just remember only one of us heals quickly."
- Stefan (to Elena): "I'm compelled to protect you. And if I look at your track record at high school dances, it's pretty tragic."
- Mikael (to Klaus): "Nobody cares about you anymore, boy. What do you have? Other than those whose loyalty you forced. No one. No one."
- Damon: "It's very Katherine of you."
- Elena: "Not the way to make me feel better about myself."
- Damon: "It was a compliment. Sort of."
- Caroline (to Tyler): "I finally almost got your mom to stop hating me, so I probably shouldn't get caught in some kind of vampire threesome with her son."
- Rebekah (to Mikael): "Whatever fatherly rubbish you're thinking, save it. Nothing you say matters to me."
- Katherine (to Stefan): "Humanity is a vampire's greatest weakness. No matter how easy it is to turn it off, it keeps trying to fight its way back in. Sometimes I let it."
- Klaus (to Stefan): "Portland is fantastic. Once you get over all the whiny music and healthy-looking people, it's literally a breeding ground for werewolves."
- Mikael: "You were never the one I was after."
- Rebekah: "Nik was my family. If you were after him, you were after me."
- Tyler: "I'm sorry I stabbed you. It's the only thing I could think of to get you out of there."
- Caroline: "Oh yeah? Not, 'Hey Caroline. I'm worried about what might happen this evening. So maybe you should go home and watch Dancing with the Stars'."
- Bonnie: "You're mad at your little brother. You'll yell at him a little, teach him a life lesson. But you can't really be mad like I'm mad."
- Elena: "Bonnie..."
- Bonnie: "And you shouldn't have to be. He's your brother. So no, I can't really talk to you about it."

Richie Farmer, once a basketball hero and rising political star, has agreed to a plea deal on federal and state charges of misappropriating public funds which likely will send him to prison for up to two years.
Farmer parlayed his role as a beloved University of Kentucky basketball player into election as Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture and a place on the 2011 Republican gubernatorial ticket with David Williams.
During that unsuccessful 2011 campaign, however, things began to unravel for Farmer. His wife sued for divorce, and just a few months after the campaign, his successor as agriculture commissioner, Republican James Comer, asked for an audit of the department during Farmer's administration.
Democratic Auditor Adam Edelen's scathing report indicated Farmer hired friends and girlfriends who performed little real work; used department funds and staff for personal use; and improperly used grant funds.
Farmer, 44, was subsequently indicted by federal prosecutors on four counts of misappropriating funds and one of soliciting property in exchange for government grants. Each count carried a possible sentence of 10 years and a $250,000 fine. Federal prosecutors also were seeking $450,000 in restitution. A federal trial date of Oct. 22 had been set.
State prosecutors also planned to charge Farmer with campaign finance violations and his sister, Rhonda Monroe, for assisting him. Farmer also was facing 42 charges by the Executive Branch Ethics Commission.
But Thursday, Farmer's attorney, Guthrie True, issued a press release saying he had filed a motion for a change of plea and indicating he has reached an agreement with prosecutors and the ethics commission to resolve all the charges in exchange for a guilty plea.
"If approved by the respective courts and the Ethics Commission, the agreements provide that Richie will plead guilty to two counts of the indictment presently in the United States District Court," True said in his release.
True went on to say Farmer will plead guilty to a one-count charge in Franklin Circuit Court of a single violation of campaign finance laws.
"If these agreements are accepted and approved, Richie will receive a sentence in federal court in the range of 21 to 27 months, and pay restitution and an ethics fine in the combined amount of $120,500," True sajd. Farmer "will also receive a concurrent one-year sentence on the charge in state court."
True said Farmer "deeply regrets the pain which has been inflicted on his family, as well as any embarrassment he has caused the good people of Kentucky."
U.S. Attorney Kerry Harvey released a statement Thursday afternoon, saying prosecutors were confident they could prove Farmer's guilt.
"While various factors may influence any defendant's decision to plead guilty, there is a common threat that motivates every guilty plea: defendants plead guilty because they are guilty, and they understand that the prosecution is prepared to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt," Harvey said.
Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway said his office had filed guilty pleas in Franklin Circuit Court on the campaign finance charges, pleas which were agreed to by Farmer and Monroe. Conway said Farmer would receive a one-year sentence to be served concurrently with his federal sentence.
Monroe agreed to a one-year sentence which will be probated for two years, Conway said.
According to Monroe's attorney, Jim Deckard, Monroe's plea in state court also allows her to avoid federal charges.
True said federal prosecutors "have made clear their intention to bring a second federal indictment" against Farmer which would force his client to defend two multi-count indictments in federal court, a multi-count indictment in state court and ethics charges at the same time.
"This reality has proven to be physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially overwhelming for Richie and the entire Farmer family," True said. "Even more, Riche cannot, in good conscience, put his three boys – who have already had to suffer through their parents' divorce – through the stress and trauma which would accompany such an ordeal."

CORTEZ -- Debra Ibasfalean remembers the first year of the Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival.
"I made coleslaw in the back of a truck," Ibasfalean recalled. "We used to have a one-day festival with fish, hush puppies and coleslaw."
Now, at the 31st annual event with the theme "Better Fish to Fry," Ibasfalean was one of many volunteers counting tickets, selling shirts and answering questions.
"Now it is two days with lots of food, lots of vendors, and lots of joint effort," she said. "It's definitely a commercial fishing village labor of love."
Approximately 25 food vendors -- offering fish tacos, shrimp dinners, grouper sandwiches and crawfish platters -- are along 119th Street West for the festival that wraps up today.
Karen and Don Bailey waited with their out-of-state friends, David and Doris Williams, to sample Walt's Seafood.
"The reason we picked this is it had a long line," said Don Bailey. "People say to never eat at a restaurant with no cars parked out front."
Karen said the seafood is the reason why she and her husband have attended the festival the last three years. For Don? "The beer."
"We live down the street, so we only have to walk a couple of miles to get here," Karen Bailey said.
Those who aren't so lucky can pay for parking throughout the neighborhood or take a $2.50 round-trip bus ride from G.T. Bray park, 5502 33rd Ave. Drive W. Parking is also available at Coquina Beach with transportation on Anna Maria Island's free trolley.
Pat Weiner and her boyfriend, Victor Faconti, drove all the way from Fort Pierce to attend the festival Saturday.
"I had never been, but my boyfriend has a shirt from the 2010 festival. I started stealing it, but he would steal it back," said Weiner, who was able to buy two of the "Pelican in Boots" shirt from three years ago. "I'm going to trade a new one for his old one."
The two-day event, with live music throughout the day, expects to draw more than 20,000 people. That doesn't surprise St. Petersburg folk artist Morris Johnson, who has set up a booth the past seven years.
"I like the feel of being here in Cortez. It's old Florida," said Johnson, who uses
scraps from boats he builds to create art representing his experiences on the water. "You feel like it's a little fishing village back at the turn of the century."
Johnson is one of 60 artists featured at the festival. Another 20 to 25 nonprofit organizations are represented.
Kim McVey, president of the Florida Institute for Saltwater Heritage, said the event, which returned to its original location three years ago, continues to grow.
"The whole purpose of this is the help the fishing industry," McVey said. "We just received a $250,000 grant and just placed a conservation easement on the property to restore it to its natural state and take out the non-natives."
McVey said by doing that, estuaries in the FISH preserve in Sarasota Bay will flourish, creating a better atmosphere to improve commercial fishing.
The organization presented several awards Saturday afternoon, recognizing Compass Self Storage that provides golf cart transportation and First America Bank, which set up an ATM kiosk.
Community Service Awards were given to Soupy Davis, musician and commercial fisherman; Cindy Lane, Island Sun reporter; Patty Banyas, owner of Cortez Kitchen and Swordfish Grills properties; and Cathy Slusser, local historian who assisted in receiving the grant and conservation easement.
Admission is $3 at the gate. Tickets can be purchased for $1 each at several booths, and are required for food and drinks.
Elizabeth Johnson, Herald reporter can be reached at 941-745-7041.

Putting together a home theatre system can sometimes feel like putting together an entire new set of furniture. After all, most speakers take up quite a bit of floor space, or hang far enough off the wall that your decor takes a backseat to your speakers. Take back your room with the clean installation of in-ceiling speakers. The Yamaha NSIC600 speakers let you take back your room by putting your speakers above your head. A large mounting clamp makes sure that they stay put, so all you have to do to install them is provide a few tools (and a little elbow grease). Plus, the grilles can be painted to match the rest of the room, creating speakers that integrate seamlessly into any room.
Sound that goes above (and beyond)
Just because you don't want your speakers to be obvious doesn't mean you don't want their sound to be obvious. With 1� dome tweeters that provide incredibly clear highs, and 6.5� woofers that support deep bass, the NSIC600 in-wall speakers will provide full, ear-pleasing audio. These sensitive speakers are perfectly capable of acting as front speakers for music and movies, or can act as surround speakers for a full home theatre system. The grain-finished acoustic baffle provides a natural sound dispersion, giving you audio as seamless as their looks.

The new Brooke Hogan nude PETA ad has been revealed online. Brooke, daughter of famous wrestler, "Hulk Hogan," appears in a new campaign called "Women in Cages."
Brooke Hogan is seen in a few photos from the new PETA campaign over at The Sun. While Brooke took it all off for the camera, the new images aren't exactly "full exposure." The black and white photos have Brooke's hair and hands covering her private parts up as she poses in the cage. This would seem to be appropriate since her father spent several matches inside a steel cage. Brooke has yet to go into wrestling, but that's always a possibility.
The official photos were unveiled at an official exhibition in the Cafeina Lounge of Miami, Florida, on the same day as Hulk Hogan's 58th birthday. Brooke Hogan joins other celebrities such as Dennis Rodman, Alicia Silverstone, Natalie Imbruglia, and Pam Anderson as those who have gone naked for PETA ads.
This could be the launch of a more lucrative career for Brooke Hogan too. While she hasn't really been too successful in music, she recently tweeted she's preparing her "abs" for a new movie role. Hopefully for Brooke, it's one that doesn't co-star Hulk Hogan and one that goes to theaters, not straight to DVD or Blu-Ray.

"I had never purchased from Natural Area Rugs before, and took a chance because of the other great reviews. I have to say the reviews were right on mark --- this is a great company with great products and service. Best prices around (and I checked a lot of websites), fast delivery (I ordered my Lancaster seagrass rug on Monday and it was delivered on Saturday, and I live in NC), quality of the rug is excellent (I have other seagrass rugs in my home), and customer service was very prompt in answering a couple of questions before I made my order. This company even focuses on the little details like rolling the rug the right way for delivery --- so when you unroll it you don't have one side flipping up."
M. Brown Southport, NC, Jul. 2014
"My experience with Natural Area Rugs has far exceeded my expectations. The website is very easy to navigate. The rugs arrive packed in several layers of protective covering. The rugs are well priced and look wonderful on my floors."
C. Tompkins Houston, TX, Jul. 2014
"We purchased a standard and a custom rug from Natural Area Rugs. They arrived within a day of each other only about 10 days after the order was place. The rugs are very well made and very nice in person. Would not hesitate to order from this company again!"
S. LaFratta Falls Church, VA, Jul. 2014
"I would recommend Natural Area Rugs to anyone and certainly buy from them the next time I am in the market for a rug. Excellent on every level!"
K. Dormois New Ulm, TX, Jul. 2014
"I love that I could order a custom rug at a reasonable price. My rug arrived quickly and was a perfect fit since I could make it exactly the size I wanted it to be. The quality of the rug was great and it has a wonderful backing on it to prevent it from slipping around on the floor. I will be back, Natural Area Rugs!"

Last Halloween, my kids were happily trick or treating when we happened upon neighborhood friends of ours who were doing the same. Hooray, right? Wrong. One of the kids was wearing a Ghostface (from the Scream movies) mask, something my youngest son, Quinn, was unprepared for and, as it turns out, is completely terrified of.
That is him in the picture there, refusing to look at anything but a tree until we assured him that Ghostface was gone and we never had to see him again.
Halloween is approaching again and that same child, now in second grade, is rapidly approaching a state of panic. He was triggered this year by seeing a friend of his in a scary mask, but well before that, he couldn't even walk down the aisle of Halloween costumes at the thrift store, instead standing at the end with his eyes semi-covered as he asked me to find him devil horns for his costume.
(It is, incidentally, difficult to find a devil costume for a young boy. You have to pillage items meant for the adult women's "sexy devil" costume, of which there are many. Quinn's horns are shiny and seductive.)
I do believe Quinn gets his fears from my husband. I never met a horror movie I didn't like, but my husband has a panic attack if he walks in the room when The Walking Dead is on. Still, we figured that we could do fun Halloween type stuff with our kids—right up until that ill-fated visit to the haunted train at Wheaton Regional Park when our oldest son was 2 years old.
I will never forget the screams that came from my child when that chainsaw wielding guy came running out of the forest. What can I say? We were new to the area and didn't know that Wheaton hosts the scary version of the haunted train. We just assumed that a children's train ride would be appropriate for children.
Come to think of it, that kid stopped playing with trains right around that time.
We have taken a more cautious approach since then, refusing to go to places like Scary Perry, or even the Cabin John not-so-scary version of the haunted train. We're taking no chances with Quinn, a child whose first major fear was of green plastic bowling pin with a goofy, happy face painted on it. (Seriously, you have never heard shrieking so loud as when this bowling pin came out.)
This year, however, Quinn's fear has reached new heights. He is scared of his school's fall festival parade. At first he just wanted to make sure I was there. Then he thought maybe he could skip the parade and come back for the party. Then he started talking about skipping the parade and party and maybe getting a treat elsewhere. Now he wants to avoid school all day.
By next year, I'm imagining us hiding in the basement with for the last week of October. The problem is that all of my kids, including Quinn, love Halloween—or at least the candy part of Halloween.
So, what is our solution? As always, I keep my eye out for anything that I think might set Quinn off. I'm going to show up at school for the Halloween parade and party and try to walk him through it, with the knowledge that we may have to cut and run at any moment. Then, when we trick or treat, I plan to act as a visual bodyguard, walking ten paces in front of Quinn, blocking any well-meaning but terrifying kids.
Also, if you live on our block, it would be great if you could make sure to not answer the door on Wednesday wearing a scary mask or while you are wielding a chainsaw.

The Valdosta Daily Times
THUMBS UP: To Dr. Tom Hochschild. Noticing the amount of viable items being trashed by departing students last year, the Valdosta State University associate sociology professor created Give and Go, which diverts everything from mini-fridges to electronics from the trash heap to people who can use them. Excellent example for the students and the community alike.
THUMBS UP: To Hahira Middle School teachers Shirley Davis and Ashleigh Kenny Tucker. During the past several weeks, they have respectively brought novelist Jewell Parker Rhodes and poet Taylor Mali to their schools with help from Skype. In addition to being inspired by these well-known individuals, students will likely be inspired by the success of their teachers' abilities to successfully schedule these encounters.
THUMBS UP: To Ronnie Newsome. The 18-year-old has been winning races against race car drivers with more years experience on the track than Newsome has had birthdays. But in addition to his wins, Newsome has dedicated his racing to raising awareness of childhood cancer and to his sister, Victoria, who passed away at the age of 8 from a rare brain tumor.
THUMBS UP: To Farm Days. The popular event returns today to Downtown Valdosta, presenting fresh produce and ways to prepare them to visitors. The event will surround the Lowndes County Courthouse square, with dozens of area farmers and vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables, plants, homemade items, and more. The event is in its third year of helping to promote healthy eating to our community and supporting our local farmers.
THUMBS UP: To the 100 Black Men, Valdosta chapter, for once again bringing recognition and awareness to the education community through its annual Black Tie dinner Thursday. The organization strives to improve the lives of children through programs that encourage learning, character building and achievement. Congratulations to the 100 Black Men for ensuring that the community's youth have excellent mentors to ensure their future success.
