look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
had this at the Blue Monkey Tavern in Merchantville, NJ tonight during a Victory promo night
amber/orange body....lots of tiny carbonation bubbles ...1 finger creamy white head...settled to a quarter inch of retention...thick lace down the glass
orange marmalade...fruity...spicy hop scent....sweet malt base
the fruit scent is present as you pull the glass to your mouth but the flavor quickly be comes a piney tree sap flavor...then a sweet caramel malt pops up in the finish
nice medium body...slight oily feel with a prickly mouthfeel from the carbonation
the scent before you first sip is very nice...thought i just picked up a fresh orange drink...aromatic citrus scents, full-flavored IPA....drank 2 of these and could down at least 2 more...the 6.8% ABV attached to this one was nicely hidden...I wish this one wasn't a brewery only/one off beer

Pint at Beachwood BBQ Sunday for six dollars, reviewed from notes, my dad and I had a few of these, golden orangish color, 3/4 inch slightly creamy white head, some retention at first, small amounts of lacing, aroma consists of mellow hops, a bit of spice, mild citrus, herbal scents, earthiness, and caramel malt, flavor is fairly dry at first with some pine and earthiness, some mild chewiness with a hint of sweetness in the middle, much more like an English IPA in this sense, some more bitterness in the finish, nice balance and like the neutralness of the malt, medium to full bodied, dry and bitter mouthfeel, low to medium carbonation, great drinkability, seemed more like five percent, no alcohol in the flavor, smooth for the style, would drink again, too bad it is tap only, hopefully they make it for more than just the Craft Brewers Conference, recommended

3.2/5 rDev -19.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
On-tap at Beachwood BBQ,
A: Pours a dark gold with a real nice fluffy white head, good lace.
S: Bitter hops, bitter melon, grapefruit.
T: Real light in flavour upfront with some real bitter white grapefruit and citrus pectin/pith in the finish. The aftertaste is where the real taste comes into this beer, but it isn't exciting, it's just bitter for bitter's sake, no complexity.
M: Smooth, resinous in the finish, good bite of tannin in the finish keeps it interesting.
D: A nice brew, but one-dimensional, kind of the opposite of Deschutes Red Chair.

4/5 rDev +0.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
This is quite a good beer, but not in the usual style or character for Victory - it is like a milder version of a classic West Coast IPA, though the pineapple and citrus is far more subtle, more like a blood orange flavor.
Pours clear golden with slight soapy head. Aroma is sharp, pinepply and clean. Sharp pale malt with a touch of yeast. Flavor is malty and deeply bitter, bready and toasty. Hop flavor is bitter and citric, with the tannic tang of blood orange or grapefuit. Bitterness is lasting and pleasant. Mouthfeel is clean and thin with cling on the end accentuating the bitterness. Orangy.

3.78/5 rDev -5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Served on-tap at Victory
Pours a rose brasslight copper color, with a thick head that sticks around for a while
Lots of pine and citrus in the nose, a light malt note at the end
The flavor is consistant with the nose, pine and a back-note of citrus, bitter and a bit creamy.
A nice drinking beer, from someone who is not a huge IPA fan. The hop is a strong and elegant flavor, powerful but not overbearing, a nice beer.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
On tap at Victory on 5/3/09.
A - Clear amber/orange body with lots of tiny bubbles of carbonation and one-finger creamy white head that reduced to a quarter inch of retention and left thick lace around the glass.
S - Fruity and spicy hop fragrance with an underlying sweet malt base. Hops are quite aromatic and suggest hints of pine and resin in addition to some more subtle citrus notes.
T - Piney sap and pungent citrus notes dominate the flavor of this IPA, which segues into a sweet caramel malt character with a hint of peppery spiciness in the backend. Finish is slightly spicy and bitter.
M - Medium bodied with a slightly oily yet effervescent texture resulting in a prickly mouthfeel. Finishes with a warm hop character and a touch of alcohol on the palate.
D - Very aromatic, pungent IPA with a full-flavored albeit unusual hop profile. Another fine IPA from Victory if I must say so.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Enjoyed on-tap at Victory's brewpub on 5/3/2009.
Poured a clear darker amber color with 2 fingers of foamy eggshell colored head. OK retention and some spotty lacing. Smells of dirty pine forest floor, caramel, and bread. Tastes of light grapefruit up front followed by caramel and bready malts. Finishes with a nice bitter earth and pine combination. Medium in body with good carbonation. Bitter and chewy with a dry finish. Easy to drink, a nice slightly different IPA than the usual HopDevil, Wild Devil, and Hop Wallop usually offered at VBC.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
On-tap at Victory Brewing in Downingtown. Pale amber with a 2-finger head which left minimal lacing, some carbonation visible but not too much.
This single-hop beer smelled overwhelmingly of pine, and that carried on into the taste, with maybe a hint of grapefruit as well. It's bitter and dry, with a taste that tingled the back of my tongue and then hop oils lingering in my mouth for a good long time. A great beer--I may have thought I had "pure hop taste" before this, but this was closer to the essence of hops than I knew.
And very drinkable! I might have to make my way back to Victory before this is out.

Clinic break-in
HOUSTON—A doctor preparing for his son's funeral had to deal with a break-in at his northeast Houston clinic early Friday.
The Houston Police Department said around 3 a.m. a burglary call went out on Homestead Road at Hallshire Drive. Police arrived within a couple of minutes, and officers said they managed to catch two young men attempting to flee from the medical clinic.
Dr. Nick Patzakis said his family has been running the clinic for 53 years.
He came to the scene to sweep up the broken glass before sunrise Friday, saying later in the day he planned to attend his son's funeral.
"I feel so bad because my son was a Navy veteran during the Vietnam War," said Patzakis. "And something like this happens. Today we're going to bury him over at the Veterans Cemetery – it breaks my heart."
Patzakis said his son helped him organize a Christmas toy drive in the community. The family did other things to help keep kids off the street, including offering scholarships.
"He always said, 'Dad, just keep up with it,' so it's terrible," Patzakis said.
Police said the suspects, who were 17 and 20 years old, may have been looking for computers or drugs in the medical clinic.
"They want to destroy the neighborhood and they drive people out. And the main thing is you hate to see people go to jail," Patzakis said.
Picking up the pieces for this distraught father will require more than a broom.

Air pollution continues to plague many large U.S. cities, where coal plants and tailpipe emissions poison the air with asthma-aggravating, cancer causing ozone and particle emissions. But the picture, and the air, is much clearer in Peoria, Springfield and a few dozen other mid-sized meccas, according to the American Lung Association's annual report.

The finance major lost a bit of steam after the economic downturn in 2008. However, a degree in finance is still viable and the industry continues to need finance majors who are knowledgeable about the new world of money. According to a 2010 BusinessWeek article, finance professionals can still succeed by applying their education in new and surprising ways, and many business and finance positions are experiencing growth again in 2013.
For example, personal financial advising is one of the fastest-growing finance careers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which predicts 32% growth in this field by 2020. Financial planners and advisors help individuals manage their money and save for the future through investments. Financial planning is a major concern in this post-recession era, making the financial advisor a highly-valued professional.
Finance professionals can also embark on careers in investment banking, securities and commodities sales, and corporate financial advising, among others. Finance continues to be a popular field thanks to its high income potential with just a bachelor's degree. However, it's important to remember that many finance positions also rely on individual skills and experience, the ability to attract and keep clients, the regional market or industry, and more.

There's nothing quite as comforting as a home-cooked breakfast, but, as one local man recently learned, sometimes it's just more convenient to go out.
On July 25 at 8:58 a.m., officers from the Knoxville Police Department responded to a call regarding assault and theft. The alleged victim said she and the suspect were arguing when he slapped her across the face and threw her to the ground, knocking her breakfast from her hands. She claimed that while she called to report the incident to the police, he snatched her purse and cellphone, then fled the scene. Officers noticed the victim didn't have any marks or redness on her face and didn't appear to have been in such a physical altercation.
They located the alleged assailant, and though he agreed they had been arguing, he offered a different story: He said he hadn't knocked her breakfast from her hands but that she had thrown sausages and pancakes at him. Sure enough, the officers saw grease and syrup stains across his shirt. He also claimed to have stolen nothing.
The officers informed the alleged victim she could seek an order of protection against the suspect if she wished. No word if they also pointed the alleged assailant in the direction of the nearest bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit.

Eastern Chipmunk
Photo Credit: Lee Conaway
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Tamias striatus
Description: The eastern chipmunk is one of the largest members of the chipmunk family. It is approximately 8 to 10 inches in length with 3 or 4 inches being the tail. This animal is reddish brown in color on its back with five obvious black stripes separated by white or grey stripes. Its belly is white or crème in color. Its face also has light and dark striping around the eyes which helps distinguish it from similar mammals in its range.
Distribution: Tamius striatus ranges over much of the eastern part of
Habitat: The ideal habitat for the eastern chipmunk is an open hardwood or mixed pine hardwood forest, edge habitat, or forested areas that are rocky. They also can be found in parks and residential neighborhoods. It constructs a complex burrow system that has multiple entrances, one main chamber lined with leaf litter, and a few smaller chambers in which food or excess dirt from tunnel excavation is stored.
Feeding Habits: The primary foods of Tamias striatus are nuts, fruits and seeds of a variety of plants. However, they also eat some animal matter, insects, and bone. As the chipmunk finds suitable food, it will stuff the food into the cheek pouches on both sides of its mouth. Once pouches are full, the chipmunk returns to the burrow to store the food.
Life History: The eastern chipmunk has two breeding seasons per year, but not all will be successful or attempt it twice. The first breeding cycle begins in February or March and ends in April. The second cycle starts in June and lasts until August when the young are born. After a female chipmunk has been bred, she will give birth to two to seven young in about 31 days. The average litter size is 4 to 5. The young will remain in the burrow for about six weeks after birth. At approximately two months of age the young are weaned and independent. Male and female chipmunks reach sexual maturity around one year of age.
Some of the known predators of the eastern chipmunk are foxes, snakes, hawks and other birds of prey, and weasels. When predators are spotted, the chipmunk quickly returns to its burrow to escape danger.

Comments about Wizard of Oz Toto in Basket:
This item came brand new, and will go extremely welll with the costume I purchsed on this site! The dog looks different than in the photo, but you can easily fix that by fluffing him out. Also, a piece of the handle is poking out from the side of the basket: again, easy fix. Just go in and cut it. All in all, I think it was worth it, and I'm happy to have a complete costume!

|John Wolbeck, 56
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - John Wolbeck, 56, of Thief River Falls, died suddenly on Sunday, May 8, at his mother's home near Mahnomen.
Funeral Services were held on Friday, May 13, 2005 at St. Bernard's Catholic Church, in Thief River Falls, with Father Tim McGee officiating. Casket bearers included Randy Ayers, Bill Fogarty, Jerry Hesse, Travis Spencer, Lovette Spencer, Justin Spencer, Tom Wolbeck, Ricky Buschette, Brian Lehrer, Ray Stenmoen, and Kevin Kinsmen. The Knights of Columbus, the "card club" and his grandson Bradan were honorary bearers. Interment, led by Fr. Rick Lambert, was held at St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery in Beaulieu.
John Edmund Wolbeck was born July 23, 1948 to Edmund and Alma (Toczek) Wolbeck in Detroit Lakes. He grew up on the family farm southeast of Mahnomen. John attended school in Mahnomen where he graduated with the class of 1966. After graduation, he attended college in Moorhead. Two years later, John moved to Thief River Falls, where he studied Aviation Mechanics.
In 1970, he was united in marriage to Suzzane Schaak. Upon completion of school, John began his employment with the Pennington County Highway Department as a mechanic and hauling gravel. He continued to work with the county for 23 years where he attained the position of Senior Engineering Technician.
In the early 1990's, John began his career as a semi-trailer owner-operator. He purchased his own truck and transported fertilizer into Canada for several years. He spent five years employed by Transystems until recently when he purchased a new truck and began driving throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin hauling lumber.
John was a member of St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Thief River Falls and was active in the Knights of Columbus there. Over the years, he had been involved with the Sons of the American Legion, the Eagles and the Masons. He enjoyed motorcycles and was looking forward to riding the Honda he had just bought. John treasured his family. He greatly enjoyed spending time visiting with them and always looked forward to their annual winter card parties. His bond with his grandson, Bradan, was truly priceless. The memories of the two of them 4-wheeling, playing in the sandbox, and simply being together will be cherished always.
He is survived by his mother, Alma McMillan of Mahnomen; two daughters, Heather Wolbeck of Thief River Falls and Alison Wolbeck of Moorhead; a grandson; a sister, Marie (Ken) Lingle of Levittown, Pa.; and many other relatives and friends.
John was preceded in death by his father, Edmund, and step-father, Henry "Hank" McMillan.

The reasons some people turn to crime are diverse and interconnected: Lack of educational opportunities, poor housing, bleak personal economic outlook, drug use, absence of family support and weak community infrastructure.
So, when state Rep. Bryan Barbin, D-Johnstown, and Johnstown City Council put together a Drug and Crime Commission, they wanted to assemble a broad cross-section of individuals with knowledge in those areas.
Members came together for an organizational meeting on Thursday inside council chambers.
The group consists of Barbin as the chairman; former National Drug Intelligence Center Director Michael Walther; Johnstown police Chief Craig Foust; Cambria-Rowe Business College Executive Director Mike Artim; Cambria County First Assistant District Attorney Heath Long; Greater Johnstown High School Assistant Principal Michael Dadey; Christ Centered Community Church pastor, the Rev. Sylvia King; former Johnstown Economic Development Director Jim White; United Way of the Laurel Highlands President Bill McKinney; the Rev. Robert Wagner of Moxham Lutheran Church; West End resident George Evanisko; and Johnstown Housing Authority member John Slezak.
"We needed a panel that was diverse," said Barbin. "It would have to represent the community as a whole: The churches, the neighborhoods, law enforcement and business owners. We've assembled a very good, diverse panel to look into this issue. We're going to look at the issue rationally and we're going to look at the issue respectfully. We're going to see if there's an uptick in crime, and, if there is, what are the factors that are affecting it."
McKinney concurred, saying, "I think it's a very good cross-section of our community."
The panel will spend the next six months studying crime in Johnstown. Members will hold an open meeting on the second Thursday of every month.
Walther, McKinney, Wagner and Artim will chair the respective law enforcement, rehabilitation, housing and education subcommittees.
"It's good to see a lot of people coming together with the same goal in mind, to make Johnstown a safer place to live," said Foust. "Obviously, I don't see anything bad coming out of it. I think it's going to open a lot of people's eyes to some of the statistics and so forth. It's also going to work the other way and show that the perception within the city isn't necessarily as bad as what a lot of people think."
Recommendations will be made to City Council after all the information is collected.
"I think it's a step in the right direction whatever fruits come out of it," said Councilman Pete Vizza, who, along with Mayor Tom Trigona, came up with the idea of forming the commission.

The way medical research is funded in the United States has been vastly altered over the last 20 years by advocates asking that research be focused on particular diseases, according to a new study.
Since the 1980s, a growing number of health advocacy groups have lobbied Washington for research dollars. As these groups have grown in size, the new study says, they have begun to influence how the federal government, in particular the National Institutes of Health, allocates its dollars.

Clint Eastwood's Romney campaign ad to air in Wisconsin
Clint Eastwood is featured in a new presidential campaign ad on behalf of Mitt Romney, financed by Karl Rove's American Crossroads Super PAC.
According to Politico, it is scheduled to run in seven swing states, including Wisconsin.
In the ad, Eastwood refers to high unemployment numbers and says: "If someone doesn't get the job done, they should be held accountable." Watch it below.
Eastwood famously appeared on behalf of Romney at the Republican National Convention in a rambling dialogue with an empty chair, which he pretended was President Barack Obama.
He also appeared in an inspiring Chrysler ad called "It's Half Time in America" that aired just once during this year's Super Bowl. Conservatives objected to that ad, saying it was veiled praise of Obama's bailout of the auto industry. Detroit, he says in that ad, "almost lost everything. But we all pulled together and now Motor City is fighting again." He concludes: "This country can't be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again. And when we do the world's going to hear the roar of our engines."

Grab a bite at The Barn tucked away in PawletBy Steve Peters
Rutland Bites | June 19,2014
photo providedWhen I consider the quintessential Vermont dining experience, I envision mountain views and rustic charm. I hear energetic folk music and the clinking of pint classes. I taste farm– fresh veggies and local meat bursting with flavor. In the winter, I'm warmed by a crackling fire and in the summer, I'm delighting in my surroundings in outdoor seating. Little did I know, I was imagining The Barn.
To city folk like myself, The Barn, nestled in the Mettowee Valley of Pawlet, is a bit of a hidden gem. To locals, it's the go-to place whether for a quality meal or to grab a drink and enjoy some music. From Rutland, it's a leisurely 45 minute drive down Route 133 that's nothing short of picturesque right now.
If you are heading from Rutland, be sure, unlike me, you're not already famished before leaving; otherwise it might seem like quite a long drive. If coming from Manchester, however, it's just a quick 25 minute ride.
Although I was skeptical that a good restaurant could be found in a place that felt so far off the beaten path, my doubt dissipated upon walking in the door and stepping into the cozy tavern. I was surprised to find that the expansive two floor dining room was already well booked by the time we called that afternoon. Yet we were still able to make a reservation downstairs in the tavern, and that was just fine. At first we were concerned that we'd be limited to just the tavern menu, but were happy to find that the restaurant menu is also offered downstairs.
We didn't want to miss out on one of the great features of dining at The Barn $13 entrees. I'm not sure how they do it, but all of the menu entrees — everything from Filet Mignon and New York Strip to sea scallops and broiled haddock — are just $13. The entrees are decent sized portions too, not downsized to reflect the reasonable price, and include rolls, a potato or rice side and seasonal vegetables. For just three dollars more, you can add a field greens salad and get a taste of their house made Maple-Dijon dressing, which I recommend you do.
Outside of the staple entrée selection of beef, chicken, seafood and pasta, The Barn offers dinner specials at more expected, yet still fair prices. You'll also find dinner salads and a nice selection of appetizers, if you're not seeking such a filling entrée.
I ordered the Chicken Mettowee, one of their classics. In this dish, two pieces of chicken breast are layered with prosciutto and cheddar cheese then coated in a basil cream sauce. The result is a perfect balance of richness and earthiness, and it couldn't be more fitting for a place called The Barn. A crispy baked potato and side of thin, fresh asparagus stalks made for a good pairing.
If you're looking for a wide selection of on-tap brews, this may not be the place for you. They do, however, carry an extensive selection of bottled beers, and some good finds too. Blue Point's Oatmeal Stout and Magners Irish Cider were happily enjoyed at our table. A reasonably priced wine menu and a well-stocked bar are also options.
I love living in downtown Rutland and having the ability to walk almost everywhere I need to go, but it's always nice to get out of the big city every once in a while. Pawlet and The Barn are just one of the many short drives I've found very much worth the while. When you venture out of town, dining out becomes more than just a means of satiating your hunger and turns into an experience to discover somewhere new. With summer almost upon us, I imagine several more leisurely drives and fine meals are in my near future. I look forward to sharing my finds.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Royalton man denied charges that he pointed a gun at a woman and her...

| ! Hunting & Fishing Licenses | Boat Registration Renewal
B.A.S.S. Headed Back to Alabama
August 4, 2011
By DAVID RAINER
The Bass Anglers Sportsman's Society is headed back to Alabama, the state where Ray Scott's vision turned what was once a friendly competition among bass fishermen into a multi-million-dollar industry.
Although Montgomery, the birthplace of B.A.S.S., was in the running, the new owners of the Bassmaster franchise have opted to relocate from Celebration, Fla., near Orlando, to Birmingham, a move that is scheduled to be completed by Nov. 1 this year.
Two of the three partners in the new ownership, Don Logan and Jerry McKinnis, were in Montgomery last week for the Toyota All-Star Truck Week and the season-ending Evan Williams Bourbon All-Star Championship on the Alabama River.
Logan, an Alabama native and current Birmingham resident, teamed with McKinnis, who hosted "The Fishin' Hole" on ESPN for 44 years, and businessman Jim Copeland to purchase B.A.S.S. LLC from ESPN almost a year ago.
While the anglers who qualified for the championship, which was eventually won by rookie Ott Defoe from Tennessee, were plying the river for bass, Logan discussed what went into the decision to move to Birmingham.
"Ever since we bought Bassmaster and B.A.S.S. business from ESPN, we always knew we probably needed to look at the location and where it was headquartered," said Logan, retired CEO of Time-Warner, Inc. "When ESPN bought it and moved it to Orlando, where Disney is located, for them it was a strategic decision and seemed to be a good fit.
"The problem we had is that it's a long way from everywhere. If you look at where the tournaments are held, other than one or two that are held in Florida, it's a long way to north Alabama or South Carolina or Oklahoma or Texas. We thought we would be better off in a more central location. So we started thinking about it. We told the employees from day one that we would do that at some point after we became familiar with the business. We've been operating it for about a year, so about six weeks ago we told the employees we had made the decision to move it back to Alabama."
Two locations were in the running – Birmingham and Montgomery, where Scott had started BASS in 1967. Scott reportedly offered the new ownership team a 75-acre parcel to try to sway the deal in Montgomery's favor. Eventually, Birmingham prevailed because of its more central location, better air travel access and availability of employees skilled in information technology, publishing and marketing.
"I actually met with Mayor (Todd) Strange last year at this event," said Logan, who spent 22 years with Southern Progress Corporation, which currently publishes Southern Living, Cooking Light and Coastal Living magazines and published Progressive Farmer until 2007. "Word had already leaked out that we were buying B.A.S.S. He talked to me about moving it to Montgomery if we completed the deal. I told him if we decided to move, we'd give him a shot at it, and we did. They put a very aggressive proposal in, and we considered Montgomery and thought it would be a great home for B.A.S.S. again. But for a variety of reasons, we felt Birmingham was the best location.
"Birmingham was a little more centrally located in terms of getting to places to the north and west. You have better air service. There are a lot more non-stops to a lot more locations. Our people travel a lot. That was important. And the other thing, when you move a business, you always have a certain number of people who can't or don't make the move. Birmingham had a lot of experienced people in the fields we work in – marketing and sales people, editorial and creative people like art directors and designers. Because of Southern Progress and a lot of other media businesses there, we felt there would be more sources we could draw talent from. And over a period of years, as we hopefully grow the business, there will be a lot of talent available."
Logan said ESPN did a lot of things right, mainly the television programming and other media ventures that are of higher quality than what is seen in other parts of the outdoor world. Logan also credited ESPN with bringing big-name sponsors onboard. However, Logan, an avid bass angler himself, wants B.A.S.S. to refocus its attention on the everyday angler.
"We want to get back to the grassroots level, whether it's the angler who only gets to fish on the weekend or the angler who is teaching his kid to fish," he said. "So we want to follow B.A.S.S. from the grassroots level all the way to the professional angler who competes in the Elite Series and Classic. We want to make all aspects better. We want our magazine to be better. We want our television production to be better and more widely distributed. We're running a number of our shows on the Outdoor Channel this year for the first time ever. Our Internet activity has expanded dramatically. We've already had more page views in 2011 than we had for all of 2010. We're doing streaming video from the Open series that we couldn't do before. We think we have a great opportunity to get to that multitude of anglers who want to fish more and catch more fish and serve them better.
"Everything we do is on the table for review to see if there are ways to make it better. There are no plans right now to make anything dramatically different, but we will be looking at different things downstream."
McKinnis, head of JM Associates, which was recently added to the B.A.S.S. LLC portfolio, has been in charge of the Bassmaster TV production since 2000. He said it was easy to make the decision to move to a more centrally located area, but the timing had to be just right not to interfere with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, as well as the Bassmaster Classic in February.
"We had this window of opportunity between now and when the holidays start," McKinnis said. "If we don't do it now, we'd have to wait another year. It's a natural move for us. Birmingham is a great city. It gives access to good people. And we're still working hard to build a great, great staff. We've got a lot of good folks who are making the move to Birmingham, so that's going to be a good start for us.
"I've got so much energy and enthusiasm about this whole thing. I'm excited about it. I never considered (ownership) until ESPN called me and asked if I had any interest. That's the first time I'd thought about it. But it's a big undertaking. It's been harder than I thought it was going to be.
"It's been overwhelming, but the upside is better than I thought it was going to be."

Both FBO's were kind enough to waive fees ($10.00 per city fees) and offer fuel discounts. TAC Air offered .25/GAL off and Wilson Air offered .50/GAL off full serve prices... of course the self serve at Wilson was lower but the effort was made and appreciated.
Both TAC Air and Wilson Air enthusiastically received rescue dogs.

Frederick E. Allen, Forbes Staff
I am the Leadership Editor of Forbes.
After the mass murder in an elementary school in Newtown Connecticut, on Friday, December 14, some formerly unyielding gun-rights supporters in Congress began to change their views, and it started to look as if the National Rifle Association's total power to bock any gun control legislation might be beginning to crack, as I reported here. Then yesterday, after a week of total silence, the NRA emerged, with its executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, giving a press statement in which he dismissed the possibility of any new controls whatever on assault weapons or ammunition magazines or gun sales. Rather he devoted his remarks to blaming mass murders on everyone from gun control supporters to video game producers and calling for a "national school shield safety program" that would essentially turn every school building in America into an armed fortress, every schoolyard into a war zone.
This proposal has found some supporters, but it has also provoked broad revulsion that might lead more Americans to see the NRA as a radical organization, the supporter not so much of ordinary gun owners as of gun manufacturers and sellers. And this might make it more possible for congressmen and senators who have been unyielding in their fealty to the organization to show some independence from its demands.
The New York Post, an editorially very conservative paper that belongs to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation (albeit a paper in a very liberal city), ran the front page shown above today, with the headline "GUN NUT! NRA loon in bizarre rant over Newtown." New York's other tabloid daily, the Daily News, offered "CRAZIEST MAN ON EARTH: Just 90 MINUTES after moment of silence for Newtown victims, vile NRA nut blames everyone and everything EXCEPT the GUNS."
Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, wasn't shrill like the New York papers, but he was just as perplexed. When asked his response to LaPierre's statement, he was at first silent, and then said, "I don't know where to begin. . . . I just found it very haunting and very disturbing that we are country talking about arming our teachers and principals in classrooms. What does that say about us? . . . I do not believe that is the response that should be coming out of the tragedy in Newtown." Michael Bloomberg, the sometimes Republican mayor of New York, called the NRA briefing "a shameful evasion of the crisis facing our country . . . a paranoid, dystopian vision." Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said, "I don't think that the solution to safety in schools is putting [in] armed guard . . . you'd have to have an armed guard outside every classroom. [And] you don't want to make this an armed camp for kids." John Cornyn of Texas, one of the most powerful Republicans in the Senate, said, "I always think making decisions when you're angry or scared leads to worse decisions."
Many across America, including some in Congress and some in Newtown, have voiced support for the NRA's plan to make every school in the country into a fortress protected by unarmed shooters, but there are clearly cracks in the facade of the association's power as never before. I couldn't help noticing that back on Tuesday, when I wrote "Is the Mighty NRA Beginning to Topple," the comments it received where mostly pro-NRA. Yesterday, when I wrote "NRA Proposes to Turn Every School Into an Armed Fortress," the comments were overwhelmingly, almost entirely, anti-NRA. Maybe the way millions of Americans feel is beginning to change. As one of my commenters yesterday wrote, "It seems NRA is trying to make lemonade . . . morally wrong, likely to backfire on them."
So you have to wonder if we won't soon be hearing more voices like this commenter's: "Face it. The NRA doesn't give a damn about our kids. They see this as another chance to sell more guns for the Industry they REALLY serve (Not responsible gun owners, but manufacturers)."
I certainly think she would have had a better chance at preserving her life and that of children than she did without being armed. Let me state here before someone brings up the armed teachers debate, I do not feel teachers should be armed, just saying if she had been armed she may have stood a chance. I believe schools should have "police" officers there.
On the second part about AK-15, I wouldn't mind having a handgun against that shooter. Better a handgun than nothing. There are many methods "trained" personnel can use against a non-trained shooter, as this person was, that could be used to De-mobilize someone with superior firepower.
Again, she would NOT.
A handgun against an AK-15 is NOTHING. It's would have been as effective as a water pistol. The shooter was VERY MUCH TRAINED and ready. Nothing could have stopped him.
Banning guns will do nothing to curb the criminal element. It is already illegal to kill or bring weapons on school property but guess what, CRIMINALS do not care. Guns do not kill, people do. If that guy had no guns he probably would of burned those kids or stabbed them to death. We need to train and arm our teachers and faculty to be first responders and protectors of our children. Our money in banks is safe, why not our kids??
Oh, really?? You want people who are over-worked, over-stressed and under-paid to be trained in the use of weapons and run the risk of hurting one of their students?????
The guy had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. He was trained, by his MOTHER in the use of these guns. He was READY and had the element of surprise. There was NOTHING the teachers could have done to stop him. Arming them wouldn't have done a damned thing. Reaction time is EVERYTHING in a situation like this and none of them could have reacted fast enough.
No, I want police officers at my children's school, as they already are. No, forget about teachers being armed. You can have that argument. My kids school has armed police officers there every day. I cannot feel but much better knowing they are there. Please don't change the direction of the conversation by saying unqualified armed people. I would never want that in any school. I gladly pay the extra tax imposed by Holly Springs, NC for those POLICE officers to be at my children's school every day.
There is probably no group better trained than the Secret Service agents who guard our President and Presidential candidates There has not been a single instance when agents opened fire on a shooter who assassinated or attempted to assassinate a President or presidential candidate (two Kennedys, George Wallace, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan). Why is that? Do you suppose they don't like collateral damage? The person who killed the teenager in Florida fired 6 shots at him – 4 of them missed. Where would those bullets go in a crowded situation? Try hitting what you're shooting at when the person is shooting at you and is wearing a bulletproof vest. I would rather not be around when amateur hour starts.
you know, what freaks you guys out, the media, is the simple fact that the NRA is simply the American people, I am willing to bet that the membership has went from 8,000 new members per day to 10,000. La Pierre called you guys out, and he told the truth cold and hard and brutal but the truth, I would say after Sunday when he is on meet the press membership will grow even more. One thing the Gun Manufactors love is the big mouths of the Far Left,
DO they represent the 'American people'? Then where was his sympathy and compassion for those who died?
He told you what you WANT to believe to avoid any meaningful action. To play on your fear and paranoia. He told you the things that make you 'feel better'. He offered nothing in the ways of ideas to keep guns OUT of the hands of those who would cause harm with them.
Lapierre told you to be afraid and buy guns and to live in fear. He wants to turn schools into prisons. What would follow that? Will it be parks next? Shopping centers? Theaters????? You WANT to lay the foundations for a police state in this country????
Common sense is a good thing to have, however, the NRA seems to be the only people with common sense. This is not brain surgery people…..if a school advertises it is a no gun zone school they may as well have a sign out there that says come kill us all cause we can't protect ourself. Thank God I live in Texas…you will have to pry my gun out of my cold dead hands………You are a disgrace!!!!!!
dido young lady, Iam from Tennessee, I just cant see why its a bad idea to have armed gaurds in schools , We have TSA agents padding down children and the left cry foul at La Pierre's idea, Iam thinking its the left who cry foul the same who mourn for the Children at Newtown yet scream at the Republicans on the right for abortion. I think the left wants another shooting to happen in a school more so the media, La Pierre called them out and put the ball back into their court

January 27, 2014Healthy Juicing and more
"I had been wanting one for awhile and my husband and daughter went together and got me one. I had a problem with the filter and customer service was wonderful. It is so nice to have fresh juice through out the day. I juice everyother day and sometimes every day. A bottle of apple, orange, pineapple and ginger juice for my husband. And apple, carrot, beet, ginger, orange, cucumber, diakon radish, pineapple & turnip juice for me. When I did my juice I did the carrot first then took the dry pulp and made carrot soup. It was very good. I then took a mixture of the dry pulp from my juice and made vegatable broth and froze it for use later. It's easy to clean but you do need a nice size area to store everything. This is one kitchen product I'm getting great use of."
January 2, 2014Great Product BUT!
"I bought the Breville Multi-Speed last year and called for support but Breville customer service was very hard line. They told me that I not only had to have my receipt for support but I had to read a faint number in the plastic of the juicer on the bottom which I could not read. Customer service suggested that I enlist a neighbor to read it. So I bought another one just like it. The reason I called is the product is prone to overheat and has NO reset button. My first one froze up permanently and now my new one is giving errors. I wrote this to warn consumers before investing in something that could malfunction out of the box."
October 29, 2013Amazing!
"This juicer is amazing! I just can't stop juicing! Very easy to clean,juice tastes great! In love with the pretty,modern design,too :) Worth every penny.Great job Breville! :)"
October 13, 2013I love juicing
"I really cannot express into words how great this product is. I am normally skeptical about things, but to my surprise, this juicer is the top of the line. You will get your money's worth if you purchase this machine. It is so easy to clean up and quick. If you use the right combinations, you can get the best tasting juice out there. I use the leafy greens and whole apples, pears, peaches, grapes, strawberries, oranges, celery, pineapple, bananas, bell pepper, onions, cantaloupe, etc. and it works fabulously. Not a problem. I normally keep my setting on #3 because that seems to be the perfect setting for any fruit or vegetable. This is my first juicer and I can tell you my experience has been very positive."
September 25, 2013I love the Breville juicer
"I have had this juicer for about nine months and I love it and use it about twice a week. This juicer works great, has a strong motor, and is easy to clean. I will definitely purchase another Breville juicer in the future. :)"
September 10, 2013Breville juicing rocks!
"I had a $50 B&D juicer that I used for several years before I burn it up. It was a pain to use and the pulp was so wet that I made smoothies out of the waste, which was alright to do, but it was a mess to clean up. It had a narrow opening and only accepted certain produce.
I love this juicer !!!
It's perfect for my needs for now. We love juicing and it is the best way to get all those wonderful flavors in one glass!
I know it's not a masticater so my leafy greens aren't always included in the juicing process, but I have other ways to include them, so we aren't skimping on the green. In a few years, I will buy a commercial sized one, so I can make all those concoctions in one machine...
Cleanup is easy and thank you so much for including the brush!"
May 18, 2013Juicing like a mad woman!
"This is my first juicer and I love it. I have been juicing like a mad woman since I received mine. My 11 year old son has been juicing with it too and yes, it is that easy. The clean up is super quick and effortless. I was confused and overwhelmed when I started to research which kind to get and I had two friends who recommended the Breville, so I went for it and I am very pleased. Nothing I can say negative about it."
May 12, 2013Great Juicer!
"My first juicer and I love it! The cleaning is a breeze, putting a plastic bag in the pulp catcher makes it super easy to transport pulp to compost heap! Very happy with my purchase! "
April 17, 2013Wonderful Product
"We love this juicer, it works perfectly and makes delicious juice. Cleanup is very simple and it looks great sitting on our counter. I would highly recommend this juicer to anyone who is looking for a great product."
January 20, 2013Amazing!
"This is the first juicer I have ever purchased. I can say I am completely satisfied with my pruchase! It really is easy to use and clean. Being a novice, I can now make delicious concoctions. My kitchen looks like a fruit market! The health benetifs are amazing. One glass of juice keeps me filing full for hours. It's not a diet, it is a way of life!"

I wish I had read the details a little better when buying this bed set. The comforter is great and washes well. The sheet set is polyester as well. My daughter hasn't used them yet, but they feel like they could be uncomfortable if you are used to cotton sheets. If you are buying for the comforter alone, I highly recommend. We will probably not use the sheets though.
I recently purchased a Cheetah Bed-in a-Bag for my granddaughter and was very pleased with the quality of the bedding and sheet set I received. The bedding is very soft and the colors very vibrant. I then again purchases a Zebra bedding set for another granddaughter and was very pleased with the quality as well. After spending some time shopping around I found the price of these items very reasonable and am happy with my choice of purchases.
I need a comforter that would be soft and looked stylish. I ordered it. When I received it I was like this is nice and soft. The set includes a Comforter, fitted sheet, regular sheet, pillow case and a decorative pillow case. The comforter is reversible the black side is the softest side very fluffy. I love it and vert affordable, Thank you Overstock.
I bought two sets. The pattern is lovely. They appeared to be of decent quality. But then I started seeing greenish smears against the wall next to both twins' bed. It was the dye rubbing off! I washed and dried the comforters per instructions. To my disappointment, the black dye washed out and bled. The black and white zebra morphed to greenish black and gray stripes. Sheets are fairly soft, but twin size fits horribly, they are so loose the corners pop off every night.
This is an average bedding set and will work just fine for now. I got the twin and don't think my eyes could take anymore zebra than that size. I turned it to the black side anyway .
Exactly, what we were hoping it to look like. And, it fit perfectly.
This product is what I expected. I wanted a light weight stylish comforter for my daughter. It is good quality, that looks likes and the full set looks good together. My daughter loves it and I like that it has held up for a couple months with kids, dogs, and cats. It does not look thinned, faded, and seams have held tight. I would recommend if you are looking for a mid to low range priced comforter with better than Wal-Mart quality.
I thought this was a great deal until my daughter slept on it. The dye from the comforter and pillow shams rubbed off on her face and body. I washed them hoping it would stop and it still continues. I would not recommend this to anyone.
For the price, this wasn't bad. The quality of the fabric was pretty low. But the real problem came after a washing in cold water. The fabric faded so much that it didn't even look like it was part of the set. I wouldn't purchase this again.
The comforter that came with this set seems to be a bit thin. The sheets that came with the set was microfiber, but they are smooth and not like flannel sheet. They are just really smooth, not cuddlely. I had ordered the set on a Saturday and they were delivered by Thursday. That was great since I wanted them ready for my husband after his surgery. But I would not get them again. And I really did not have time to send them back and get different ones. I am pretty disappointed in them.

The bottom border contains the following statements: "THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT HAS A REFLECTIVE CHEVY CHASE BANK WATERMARK ON THE BACK. HOLD AT AN ANGLE TO SEE." A white thumb area appears in the top portion with "PATENT#" printed above and "TouchSafe" below. "Non-Negotiable for amounts over $3,000" and "VOID AFTER 90 DAYS" are printed above and below the signature area, respectively. When copied or scanned, the check has a "NON-NEGOTIABLE" background.

Murray County High School's softball team couldn't get its bats going Monday, tallying just three hits in an 8-0 loss at Region 7-2A foe Calhoun.
The Lady Indians fell to 7-5 overall and 4-2 in league play. Coach Sandra Johnston summed up the game in four words: "We just didn't hit."
No player had more than one hit.
"That's the bottom line," Johnston continued. "We just didn't hit."
Lindsey Dunn took the loss in the pitcher's circle for the Lady Indians. She threw four innings, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks. Whitney Gribble pitched two innings and allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two.
Calhoun scored two runs in the second inning, three in the third, two in the fifth and one more in the sixth.
"We didn't have any errors," Johnston said. "We just didn't hit. We had more strikeouts (12) this game than any other this season.
"I don't know if they were just trying so hard and couldn't get focused. I don't know. I can't even answer that."

New Castle News
Pennsylvania state police have filed charges against a couple accused of stealing guns to get money for drugs.
Megan Kohlmeyer, 28, of New Castle, and Daniel Challis, 35, of Ellwood City, face charges of theft, receiving stolen property and criminal conspiracy.
Police said Kohlmeyer, who had been in a rehabilitation facility in Washington, Pa., had confessed to taking a 30.06 bolt-action rifle and .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol from a house on Hanna Lane in Hickory Township. She said the weapons were sold to an unidentified person so the couple could obtain money for heroin.
The theft is believed to have taken place in August.
Police said Kohlmeyer is now lodged in the Washington County jail and awaiting extradition to Lawrence County on a bench warrant for unrelated charges.
A warrant was issued for Challis' arrest.

Hot on the heels of Christina Aguilera's Not Myself Tonight and speculations that the music video was just a poor attempt to out Gaga Lady Gaga, Xtina has now posed for a series of photos for the June issue of Out Magazine in what some are saying is a cry for attention and another poor attempt at being Gaga-ish.
Personally, I don't think they are very gaga-ish but some of the photos, the cake in the crotch ones seem to really be crying out for attention. I don't see anything artistic or beautiful about those, just raunchy and sad.
Anyway, in her interview with OUT, Aguilera laughed when the interviewer asked her how she felt about being compared to Lady Gaga. Christina's response: "Oh, the newcomer?†Aguilera chuckles. "I think she's really fun to look at.â€
According to OUT, "In 2008, when asked by the Los Angeles Times about the comparison, Aguilera denied all knowledge of Gaga's existence. "I'm a little under a rock where some things are concerned,†she said then and says again now."
Earlier today, Aguilera tried to squash the rumors of a feud between her and Lady Gaga. Xtina posted a statement on her official website:
"Dear Fans,
I would like to take a moment to clarify something that has been brought to my attention this morning. It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama-especially between us women. So I would like to tell you all directly so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else's story…I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that.
There is room for all of us on everyone's iPods.
This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.
"Can't hold us down…."
With love,
Here are some of the things Christina Aguilera fans and Lady Gaga fans are saying about Xtina's antics of late:
She's got to stop calling out Lady Gaga. She's starting to look obsessed. There's got to be something wrong with her if she married Jordan Bratman.
Posted By: Propagandhi (Guest) on May 17, 2010 at 03:46 PM
Christina was Lady Gaga before Lady Gaga was Lady Gaga.
Posted By: DD (Guest) on May 17, 2010 at 03:57 PM
but is that really much different than the stuff she was doing before? no, not really. If she had not taken time off to have her baby, everyone would be saying Ga Ga copied her...
Posted By: Huh? (Guest) on May 17, 2010 at 04:16 PM
Xtina, despite her talent, has always been a bandwagon jumper. She latches onto anything hot and tries to pass herself off as being better than the girls she's trying to one-up. She had this inferiority complex with Britney for years and now she's doing the same thing with GaGa. The cold reality is, she'll always play second, third, and fourth fiddle to her more relevant contemporaries.
Posted By: J (Guest) on May 17, 2010 at 04:28 PM
lol why do all these oldhead always throw shots at "the newcomers"... come correct with the music, or go back to raising your kid
Posted By: Guest#2713 (Guest) on May 17, 2010 at 12:31 PM
Christina clearly feels jealous & threatened by Gaga's success. Gaga has achieved more fame & popularity in 2 years than christina has in 10! She knows she cant compete so she feels the need to attack Gaga instead. Quite pathetic really.
Posted By: Guest#7558 (Guest) on May 17, 2010 at 03:15 PM
Can't we all just get along? If both these young ladies want to strip down to their panties and give us a show, who are we to deny them? Let's just sit back and enjoy while we can. God forbid one day they decide that they no longer want to show us their boobs and booties!!!

Best PVC-Free School Lunch Boxes
08.23.13 Best PVC-Free School Lunch Boxes
For many kids, picking out a new lunch box might just top the list (after planning the 1st day of school outfit) for feeling ready to head back to school. It's a chance to show off a sense of style with a favorite color or pattern or new obsession with a specific theme like owls, robots or dinosaurs.
The unsettling feature on many conventional lunchboxes is that they're made with vinyl, also known as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and sometimes labeled with the number "3," or "V," or "PVC." PVC is an unnecessary plastic that is dangerous (often referred to as the poison plastic) to our children's health and the environment. PVC contains chemical additives like phthalates, lead, cadmium and organotins, according to CHEJ (Center for Health, Environment + Justice).
Children are even most at risk, because "their developing brains and bodies, their metabolism and behaviors make them uniquely vulnerable to harm from toxic chemicals," according to research by the CHEJ. Chemicals, like phthalates, found in many popular kids' products have been linked to various health concerns.
EVERY lunchbox sold at MightyNest is free of PVC, BPA, Phthalates and lead.
Wildkin: We carry three different styles of Wildkin lunchboxes. For younger kids just starting out in preschool or kindergarten, we recommend the Munch n Lunch bag. No worries about unzipping this - the velcro strip keeps the top closed. For a classic rectangular shaped lunchbox, choose the solid colored or patterned lunchboxes. And for older kids, the Double Decker lunchbox (shown at left) really fits the lunchbox bill, especially becasue there is ample room to pack foods for heartier appetites.
Beatrix: Classic in shape and sturdy enough to last for years, the Beatrix lunchbox is a serious crowd-pleaser. Choose from several different sweet animals that all have a touch of humor. With Ample size (10"x7"x4") this one makes for easy packing - enough room to fit a water bottle too, bento box, sandwich wrap and a sweat-free ice pack. This one is so sturdy it can be washed in the washing machine!
SoYoung: There are 2 different styles available from SoYoung - the lunch cooler (2 sizes) and the classic rectangular lunchbox. Both styles are insulated, both have removable inserts for easy cleaning and both come with adjustable + detachable carrying straps to wear over the shoulder or like a messenger bag. And both have a place for your name on the inside of the lunchbox and an outside mesh pocket for utensils or a napkin.
Packit: Most lunchboxes require and added ice pack to keep foods fresh, but the PackIt is practically made with ice packs - all 4 walls of this lunchbag have gel packs sewn in between the fabric. The lunchbox folds down compactly and stored in the freezer for each use. There are 2 different sizes: the insulated mini lunch bag and the larger version, the insulated lunch bag. The Packit will keep contents cool for up to 10 hours and the bag itself is leakproof!
Milkdot: The Stoh lunchbox is beautifully made and carefully designed. Sleek and stylish, this lunchbox is deeper than most and will easily accomodate a thermos for those who enjoy bringing soup to lunch. The bag is insulated to help keep foods either cool (with the help of an ice pack) or warm. Easy to wipe clean and fold flat for storage. Available in many great colors and striped patterns too.
Kids Konserve: The insulated lunch sac (available in 3 colors) is made from recycled PET/plastic bottles (exterior) and the interior is insulated. This lunch sac is meant to be carried over the shoulder, and can easily fit taller water bottles and/or a thermos for lunch.
Fluf: Motivated to make something practical, durable and fun, the designers at Fluf made this 100% organic cotton lunchbag printed with azo-free dyes. The inside is lined with a wipeable nylon to make everyday use manageable but the lunchbag can be washed in the washing machine when it gets really dirty. Funny and smart, these lunchbags are a great way to carry lunch.
There are so many patterns and colors available yet all of these lunchboxes are safe to store your packed lunches without the worry of harmful chemicals present.

Well, Niles Pie made their Kickstarter goal, thanks to huge community support.
The campaign's not over until this Friday, Nov. 16 at 5 p.m., so they are aiming for some stretch goals to take them a little above their "shoestring" budget.
Because Kickstarter is an "all-or-nothing" platform, they went for the lowest amount they could use for opening their permanent kitchen space. To entice new pledges, or to encourage backers to increase their current pledges, Niles Pie has added some new incentives, including pie donations to local non-profit organizations. For every $100 in pledges received until the end of the campaign, they will donate another four pies to Life Eldercare's Meals-on-Wheels program. People can also contribute to have Niles Pie donate pies to SAVE and to Abode's Sunrise Village.
At the same time as promoting their Kickstarter campaign, Niles Pie is in the thick of preparing for their Thanksgiving pie crush.
Staying local, they are using organic pumpkins from Fremont's Perry Farms in their pumpkin pies. In addition to the standard Thanksgiving pies, Niles Pie likes to offer something a little different. They're using local Niles Persimmons in a custard pie, with housemade candied ginger and a gingersnap crumble.
Last year, they produced over 400 pies in one day for customers all over the East Bay. They are expecting about the same amount of orders this year, and are gearing up to meet the demand. They are delivering to a number of business customers in Oakland and Berkeley, as well as to pick-up locations in Livermore, and four locations in Fremont.
See their website, www.nilespie.com for the menu and details on ordering and pickups.

One of the best candle projects to make with kids in your family or youth group is wax art crystal candles. Wax art crystals, or granulated wax, is a wax that has been formed into tiny beads slightly larger than sand. The product is available in a myriad of colors and even several scents. What makes this so easy is that the wax does not have to be melted. It can be easily poured into any "candle safe" container. For anyone who has seen "Sand Art" the concept is identical except when you are finished you have a candle that can be burned.Once you have selected the proper container take a completed wick assembly (one with a base) and place into the glass container. The best wick for this application is going to be something like a 34-40 zinc.The best way to get started is to select several colors and gently pour the crystals into the glass container with a spoon or other dispensing tool. You can take multiple colors and layer them in the glass to the desired height. For ultimate effects such as waves, you can take a long, narrow pointer such as a knitting needle and slide down the side of the glass container. This will create "waves" in the wax. This is a project any age child or adult can enjoy. This is a great project for cub scouts, girl scouts, and camping trips. The candles can even be used as wedding favors.The true advantage to wax art crystals is that they may also be melted and poured to make votives, pillars and even small containers. The wax art crystals are easy to handle and can be melted in any type of double boiler. The colors are slightly more concentrated, so white wax art crystals should be added to
any color to lessen the intensity. What is nice is you can mix, match and melt the crystals to get any color shade you desire.
Get started with our Granulated Wax Art Kit, which comes with 5 lb bags of granulated wax (unscented), 8-9oz hexagon jars with lids & 10 wicks!

Candlewic has the ability to turn wax into granulated or bead form. The granulated wax is commonly called wax art or wax beads, and it's made at our Doylestown facility.
The granulated wax is made by taking liquid wax and spraying it up into the air, and as the wax hits the cold air, it will bead. When the beads fall, they land on a drum that is continually rotating and moving the wax on to a vibrating belt. The vibrating belt helps cool the wax and move the wax into the box.
The granulator is great because any color can be made, and we have even done fragrances. The granulated wax has many uses, and when it's used as a straight paraffin, it melts very easily and is easy to measure.
