The Pratt High School Greenbacks shocked the house at Hesston Friday night, stunning the Swather homecoming crowd by taking a 6-0 lead early in the first quarter.
From there, however, the Hesston Swathers reeled off 48 unanswered points to regain control, and they went on to claim a 48-12 victory over the visiting Greenbacks.
PHS struck on their initial possession on a screen pass from Brandon Ruckle to Shawn Ramos. It was 6-0 Pratt.
Unfortunately, after forcing a 3-and-out on Hesston's first possession, the Greenback defense was unable to get off the field much after that. The Swathers scored touchdowns the next 7 times they had the ball, spanning the middle of the first quarter to the middle of the fourth quarter.
Pratt missed a couple of offensive opportunities in the first half that might have allowed the game to stay close. After Hesston had scored in the first quarter, the Frogs had a chance to regain the lead as they got the ball on a short field off special teams, but were unable to capitalize. Trailing 20-6 in the 2nd quarter, Pratt misfired on a 4th and 1, turning the ball back over to Hesston in their own territory.
"We needed to be more productive on offense to take the pressure off our defense," observed PHS head coach Jamie Cruce.
A lot of the offense for Hesston, as expected, was from their speedy running back Ryan Schadler who had 20 carries for 179 yards on the night. What might not have been as expected was Hesston also moving the ball through the air rather effectively as well. Justin Smith had 7 catches and a 2 TDs receiving from QB Wyatt McKinney.
The threat of the passing attack may have put some doubt in the Pratt linebackers minds about whether to cover the pass or the run, and as a result, Hesston's offense was in high gear most of the night, churning out long drive after long drive.
There was a running clock most of the second half. Pratt scored as time ran out on a long pass from Ruckle to Derek Barnard to make the final tally 48-12 in favor of Hesston. Full stats online next week.

The Dark is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world. And Will Stanton last-born of the immortal Old Ones, dedicated to keeping the world free must join forces with this ageless master Merriman and Bran, the Welsh boy whose destiny ties him to the Light. Drawn in with them are the three Drew children, who are mortal, but have their own vital part in the story.

Read an Excerpt
Somewhere in the shifting greyness, a patch of colour began faintly to glow, red and pink and blue merging into one another too fast for the eye to follow. Glimmering soft and warm on the cold mountain, it held Jane's gaze as hypnotically as a flame; then gradually it began to focus itself, and Jane blinked in disbelief as she realized that a form was taking shape around it. Not definite clear shape, but a suggestion, a hint of what might be seen with the right eyes....
The brightness grew more intense until suddenly it was all contained in a glowing rose-coloured stone set into a ring, and the ring on the finger of a slender figure standing before her, leaning a little as if resting on a stick. There was at first such brightness around the figure that Jane could not look directly at it; instead her eyes flickered down to the ground on which it stood, only to realize with a shock that no ground was there. The figure was floating before her, an isolate fragment of whatever world lay there behind the greyness. It was the delicate form of an old lady, she saw now, wearing a long light-coloured robe; the face was fine-boned, kindly yet arrogant, with clear blue eyes that shone strangely young in the old, old cobweb-lined face.
Jane had forgotten the others, forgotten the mountain and the rain, forgotten everything but the face that watched her and now, gently, smiled. But still the old lady did not speak.
Jane said huskily, "You are the Lady. Will's Lady."
The Lady inclined her head, a slow graceful nod. "And since you can see that much, I may speak to you, Jane Drew. It was intended, from the beginning, that you should carry the last message."
"Message?" Jane's voice came out ina whisper.
"Some things there are that may be communicated only between like and like," the sweet soft voice said from the mist. "It is the pattern of a child's game of dominoes. For you and I are much the same, Jane, Jana, Juno, Jane, in clear ways that separate us from all others concerned in this quest. And you and Will are alike in your youth and your vigour, neither of which I share."
The voice grew fainter, as if with a great weariness; then rallied, and the light glowed more brightly from the rose-coloured ring on the Lady's hand. She drew herself upright, and her robe shone clear white now, bright as a moon over the grey lake.
"Jane," she said.
"Madam?" Jane said at once, and without any self-consciousness she bowed her head and dipped one knee almost to kneeling, oblivious of her jeans and anorak, as if she were dropping a deep curtsey of respect, out of another age.
The Lady said clearly, "You must tell him that they must go to the Lost Land, in the moment when it shall show itself between the land and the sea. And a white bone will prevent them, and a flying may-tree will save them, and only the horn can stop the wheel. And in the glass tower among the seven trees, they will find the crystal sword of the Light."
Her voice wavered, ending in a gasp, as if clutching for some last strength.
Jane said, struggling to hold the words, struggling to hold her image of the Lady, "In the glass tower among the seven trees. And -- a white bone will prevent them, and a flying may-tree save them. And only the -- the horn will stop the wheel."
"Remember," the Lady said. Her white form was beginning to fade, and the glow dying in the rose of the ring. The voice grew softer, softer. "Remember, my daughter. And be brave, Jane. Be brave...brave...."
The sound died, the wind whirled; Jane stared desperately out into the grey mist, searching to see the clear blue eyes in the old, lined face as if only they could fix the words in her memory. But she was alone among the dark hills and the lake with the low clouds blowing, and in her ears only the wind and the last imagined thread of a dying voice. And, now, as if it had never left her consciousness from the first instant, there came instead the clear high echo-twined melody of Will's voice, that had seemed to her like the mountains singing.
Suddenly the singing broke off. Will's voice flung through the air in a hoarse, urgent shout. "Jane! Jane!" The echo followed it "...Jane!...Jane!..." like a whispered warning. In quick instinct Jane swung round towards the voice, but saw only the green slope of the hill.
Then she looked back at the lake, and found that in the brief moment of her turning, such horror had arisen before her that panic engulfed her like ice-cold water. She tried to scream, and brought out only a strangled croak.
Out of the dark water an immense neck rose, swaying before her, dripping, tipped by a small pointed head, open-mouthed, black-toothed. Two horn-like antennae moved sluggishly to and fro on the head, like the horns of a snail; a fringe like a mane began between them and ran down the whole length of the neck, bent to one side by the water that hung from it, dripping slimily into the lake. The neck rose higher and higher, huge, endless. Gazing in motionless terror Jane saw that it was everywhere a dark green, shot with a strange dull iridescence, except on the underside that faced her, a dead silvery-white like the belly of a fish. High over her head the creature towered and swayed, menacing; the air was filled with a stench of weed and marsh-gas and decaying things.
Jane's arms and legs would not move. She stood, staring. The great serpent lunged to and fro towards her, nearer, nearer, blindly searching. Its mouth hung open. Slime dripped from the black jaws. It swung close to her, reeking, dreadful, and seemed to sense her; the head drew back to strike.
Jane screamed, and closed her eyes.

Worth every penny, worth every second. This book is really awesome, striking and original. If you miss out on this series, you will never know the wonders you've left undiscovered.
This is the best conclusion to one of the best series there ever was. It is creative and unique, and displays good and evil in a most enticing way. Silver on the tree draws the charecters form the previous four books (Simon, Jane, and Barney Drew, Will Stanton, and Bran Davies) together. It's terrific, a must read.
the whole series was wonderful. it was the first series i'll read again and again. highly recommended!
Awsome series
Awesome and intense
It is the one of the first books that I have read from my school in a long time
its just the best book in the whole series. the end was also very sad but yet it was happy at the same. I just love that this book makes you think, it makes you really think if going back in time is possible. it even makes hyou wonder if there is a light and darkness in people. If light is a very powerful force while the darkness tries to bring everyone down in the slyness of ways. and when you think about it, it is really true.
this is the best book. It is in the dark is rising sequence!!!!!!! AWSOME!!!!!! must read

Angela Davis on police violence
'There is an unbroken line of police violence in the United States that takes us all the way back to the days of slavery, the aftermath of slavery, the development of the Ku Klux Klan," says Angela Davis. "There is so much history of this racist violence that simply to bring one person to justice is not going to disturb the whole racist edifice."
"in Gary, racism clearly trumped democracy"
Yeah. Indiana's got a constitution, which says you can't pass special laws for one city, one town, etc. But they got around that, because instead of saying, "We want to eliminate the buffer zone around Gary," they said, "We want to eliminate the buffer zone around a city that has a river that runs through it, and that has a steel mill…" and by the time you got down to it, there was only one city in the state that fit that description.Gary, Indiana: the city that split in two.

Keene, NH Pumpkin fest: come for the jack-o'-lanterns, stay for the riot
Keene, New Hampshire tried to set a new world record for most pumpkins carved at their 2014 Pumpkin Festival, but failed to reach their goal. Instead, the news coverage of the Pumpkin Festival is for the vaguely related mayhem that erupted in neighborhoods near Keene State campus. It has been reported that the chaos was due to an influx of young people, up to 2,000 congregated in some areas, who threw billiard balls, rocks, debris and bottles full of liquor, and overturned at least one car. Police used tear gas and pepper balls to quell the crowds, and arrested 84 individuals. There were dozens of injuries, but no fatalities. In the larger discussion of various group gatherings and actions and the police response to such events, comparisons have been made between the Keene "pumpkin riot" and Ferguson. To which Luke O'Neil wrote Keene Is Not Ferguson—Despite the Police, Fires, and Tear Gas. Jordan Lebeau responded with a piece titled Actually, Comparing Keene to Ferguson Is Precisely What You Should Do (last two articles on Boston.com). [more inside]
Some people are so poor
When I knew the Clippers were drafting me, the first thing I did was type Donald Sterling's name into Google. The first hit that came up was "Donald Sterling is a racist." I read an article on how he didn't want minorities to live in his apartment buildings. My first thought was, Wow this guy is really, really a racist … how is he an owner of an NBA team? My second thought was, Wow, these articles are from 2003 and 2008. I guess everybody already knows about this stuff and just doesn't care. As players, we're not supposed to really care about anything but basketball. We're just supposed to perform. To be honest, I didn't ever really think about bringing up Sterling's past.

Barry Spurr, an expert on T. S. Eliot and the Virgin Mary, is Australia's first Professor of Poetry and Poetics. Appointed as one of two English subject specialists to the new Australian Review of the National Curriculum PDF, his concerns that "the Western literary canon" has been neglected and "the impact of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on literature in English in Australia" overemphasized in the existing curriculum are quoted liberally in the final report, which recommends that: "There ... needs to be a greater emphasis on dealing with and introducing literature from the Western literary canon, especially poetry," in Australian schools. The report has met with approval in the right-wing Australian press. Now, emails leaked to the New Matilda show that Spurr has spent the past several years sending messages from his University of Sydney email account referring to Native Australians as "Abos" and human "rubbish" and Asians as "chinky poos," calling Nelson Mandela a "darkie," Desmond Tutu a "witch doctor," and his own Vice Chancellor "an appalling minx," comparing Methodists to "serpents," and referring to women generally as "whores." Now, in the wake of the New Matilda exposé, the University of Sydney is investigating the emails and the Australian Education Minister is denying that the Abbott administration had anything to do with Spurr's appointment. Spurr, meanwhile, maintains that the emails were nothing more than "a whimsical linguistic game" and "repartee" shared with friends, which went right over the heads of the New Matilda journalists. There is also a petition to dismiss Spurr from the Review Commission.

Bias in the Box. "This is where Bryan Stevenson's 'undeveloped understanding' comes into focus. A prosecutor may say with the utmost sincerity that he doesn't exclude blacks [from a jury] because of their race, but because they or someone in their family has been a victim of discrimination, which leads them to distrust the system. Because of their experiences, they are believed to be less motivated to sentence someone to die and are therefore less desirable on a jury." (slVQR) [more inside]
The One Crime the Media Won't Blame on Black Men

The Construction of Whiteness
Gerald Horne is the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. He is a prolific author whose most recent book is The Counter-Revolution of 1776: : Slave Resistance & the Origins of the United States of America (published by NYU Press; available on Google Books). From the publisher's description:
The so-called Revolutionary War, Horne writes, was in large part a counter-revolution, a conservative movement that the founding fathers fought in order to preserve their liberty to enslave others—and which today takes the form of a racialized conservatism and a persistent racism targeting the descendants of the enslaved.Early in the book, Horne writes:
The construction of 'whiteness' or the forging of bonds between and among European settlers across class, gender, ethnic, and religious lines was a concrete response to the real dangers faced by all of these migrants in the face of often violent rebellions from enslaved Africans and their indigenous comrades.He recently sat down with Paul Jay of the Real News Network for the show Reality Asserts Itself. The result is a far-ranging discussion that covers his youth growing up in Jim Crow era St. Louis, his personal and intellectual development, pre-revolutionary America and the lucrative business of slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and the Civil rights movement. The interview concludes by bringing us back to recent events, including the recent chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York, and the protests in Ferguson, Missouri. [more inside]
No One Was Sticking Up For Him; Not Even Him
"Don't shoot me"
Why Did Michael Brown Die in Ferguson? - According to the police of Fergusson, Missouri it was because he reached for an officer's weapon, necessitating that he be shot multiple times as he ran away empty handed. Eyewitness tell a different story. Whatever happened the killing has prompted demonstrations and looting. Ferguson police responded in full force, firing teargas and wooden rounds into crowds of protestors and sealing the area off from the media. In the wake of the tragedy questions of racial profiling, the paramilitarization of police and media depictions of black shooting victims have been raised. Meanwhile the shooter has not been named to preserve his safety.

One of the finalists is the recently-launched SketchFactor, which aims to help users avoid "sketchy" neighborhoods by posting notes about crime, racial profiling, harassment, and desolation. Not surprisingly, the creators have faced racism accusations. The developers have responded to the charges on their website.

Reason magazine and racism
Last week, Pando.com's Mark Ames posted an article on the efforts of the GOP to recruit in Silicon Valley using libertarianism as a wedge and the history of libertarian links, particularly through Reason magazine, to racism. Reason responded, calling Ames a "conspiracy theorist". Ames, who has a history of digging into the seedy history of libertarianism, has responded by posting a copy of Reason's holocaust denial and revisionist history issue, along with profiles of its contributors and their involvement with Reason and late 20th century libertarianism.

And the truth of the matter is Arnold and I are old. I mean, really old.
True Lies is a 1994 action comedy film directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Tom Arnold. The film was a huge hit, and is noteworthy in that it featured visual special effects considered impossible only a few years prior. It's been 20 years since it was released. Time for a revisit, then.

Zwarte Piet wiedewiedewiet
Amsterdam mayor Eberhard van der Laan has been told by a court in the capital to reconsider the licensing of the Sinterklaas parade through the city last year, which became mired in controversy because of the Zwarte Piet character. The administrative court says the mayor has six weeks to look again at the decision to allow the parade to go ahead last year and determine if the correct one was taken. The administrative court said in its ruling the Zwarte Piet character a negative stereotype which is insulting to black people and the mayor must decide which interest is more important: that of black Amsterdammers or society in general, news agency ANP reported.It's official: Zwarte Piet (previously) is a racist, negative stereotype according to the Amsterdam courts.

Why the Civil Rights Act couldn't pass today
"Although the Civil Rights Act passed the Senate by 73-27, with 27 out of 33 Republican votes, one of the six Republicans who voted against it was Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who weeks later became the GOP's presidential standard-bearer and started the long process by which the Party of Lincoln became the party of white backlash, especially in the South. Today, Republicans hold complete legislative control in all 11 states of the Old Confederacy for only the second time since Reconstruction." [more inside]

Daniel José Older situates HPL's racism within a more general aesthetics of disgust. Silvia Moreno-Garcia engages with racism in both HPL and Robert E.

The town of Zeitz is associated with Martin Luther's successors. Indeed, Luther's male descendants all left their mark on the town. In 1542 Luther ordained Nicolaus von Amsdorf as the first Protestant bishop at the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in Zeitz.
There is much to delight today's visitors to Worms, from the Romanesque imperial cathedral to the multimedia exhibition at the Nibelung Museum. For Martin Luther however, this historical town on the Rhine held far less pleasant associations.
Weimar was a centre for German intellectual life long before Goethe and Schiller's day. Indeed, Martin Luther was much taken with the town on the river Ilm.
Martin Luther declared that the buildings in Torgau were more beautiful than any from ancient times. That is still true today. With five hundred Renaissance and late-Gothic buildings, Torgau in Saxony is an architectural gem of international standing.
Speyer is a UNESCO World Heritage town thanks to its cathedral, the largest surviving Romanesque church in Europe. But it is also regarded as the birthplace of the Protestant faith because of the Protestation at Speyer of 1529.
Sonneberg, the historical toy town in the Thuringian Forest nature reserve, is ideal for walking and cycling in glorious unspoilt surroundings. Follow in Luther's footsteps through the Thuringian Forest and discover the legend of the Luther House in Sonneberg!
The romantic medieval town of Schmalkalden in Thuringia has a important place in 16th century European history. In 1531 Protestant princes and representatives of free imperial cities met here to join forces against the Catholic emperor, Charles V.
Pirna, not far from Dresden , is the birthplace of the indulgence preacher and inquisitor Johann Tetzel. Tetzel's actions caused Luther to nail his 95 theses to the door of the castle church and is thus considered a key figure in Reformation.

(7 Products)
We love Adidas and our son loves there slides! We have been buying him Adidas slides for a few years now and they are the only ones he wants. The fit it perfect and he says they are super comfy! Will be purchasing again next year. ... read more
I have no idea how these work, when I first put them on they were torture, the nubs were hard and pokey, and I figured they were going back, but within an hour they were comfortable, really comfortable. Maybe the heat from wearing, maybe the flex from walking...I really don't know but I'm glad I gave these slides a chance. Mine are black with deep pink details, very cool. ... read more
The older models used to have a thicker fabric beneath the foot strap that prevented any rubbing/irritation but the news ones fail to have this cushioning. I guess the old adage of "they don't make them like they used to" still applies. ... read more
I'm a size 6.5 with more so narrow-ish feet. These slippers, although very cute and comfy run pretty big. I found it disappointing they only come in full sizes (4, 5, 6, etc.) and no half sizes. I went with a size 7 because of what other wrote in their reviews (running too small, etc) and I had to return them for a 6 which fits well but it's still pretty wide. Hope this helps! ... read more
I thought these sandals would be perfect specially after a long day at work. But the little "massaging balls" are just too much. I can't walk more than 20 ft without feeling the discomfort. I thought I'd just have to break them in and I tried. After multiple times of wearing them my feet still hurt after wearing these. ... read more
I am a Adidas junkie from shoes to clothes. I love how the "nubs" make my flat feet tingle after I take them off. I even think it has something to do with my lower back feeling better. Im on my feet all day with my espresso business, and its sort of like a "reflexology feel" when you get a message. Thanks as always! ... read more
Bought this for my plantar fasciitis years ago and have been wearing it since. This is what I wear for everything..inside my home and outside. It used to stain my white socks but the new ones do not stain. Haven't had plantar fasciitis about a month or so after wearing these shoes. ... read more
This slide are the most comfortable sport slide/sandals I have purchased the benefit of the footbed in which is provided with this product instantly brought comfort. I am size 12 with other trainer brand, size 12 with all shoes but I normally by 13 in slides/sandals. I purchased this in 14 and it was dead fit so I returned and then purchased this product in a 15 and it was perfect fit. ... read more
These slides are brilliant. They're so convenient for so many things! Perfect to wear before and after my football matches and the comfort is second to none. Highly recommend to anyone interested in buying a pair. Also great for just enteral lounge wear around the house. ... read more
I bought these to wear in the shower while healing a broken ankle. They are adjustable to fit both my injured foot and my good foot. They are totally non-slip, which is a huge thing in these circumstances. All the other shower shoes I found were pastel colors and very Old Lady. The Size 4 fit my Women's size 5.5 feet perfectly. A great investment, considering I would be afraid to take a shower without them! ... read more
For the first few days these slides were very painful to wear. I thought I wasn't going to be able to keep them. But I kept on using them with and without socks and eventually it just didn't hurt to wear them anymore. Now I'm love these slides. I think my feet just needed to be broken in lol. I'm very happy with this product. ... read more
I have these slides in the red, black & Blue and honestly these are the best "I'm off to steal your guy/girl" fit. Omg. I literally wore them everywhere. Honestly I would wear them to my wedding if there was a bridal edition. They are so comfortable and look good with everything. The material is super durable. I've had the black ones for over a year now and they still look new. Worth the £19!!!! ... read more
I purchased my Adidas slides about 4 years ago, so long that the comfort nodules/tubes have worn down taking the shape of my foot. I hate wearing shoes, but when I do, these are my go-to's. I wear these daily-all day-all year long; with or without socks & for every season! They are constructed well, last long & are very comfortable. I have purchased a pair for my son, who is always borrowing mine, my husband & my son's girlfriend. I'm a customer for life! Thanks Adidas!!!! ... read more
I ordered these because I am on my feet all day long and wanted something to slip on at the end of the day that was not a standard rubber flip flop. These are UNBELIEVABLE! My feet were slightly sensitive to the footbed the 1st couple of wears, but they easily adjusted. I highly recommend these if you are looking for a convenient slide that also offers some relief for tired feet. ... read more
aesthetically the slide looks good. For the record my foot has always fit well in Adidas sneakers do to the narrow nature of my foot. For some reason these slides are rubbing the outside of my pinky toes on both sides so much that my toes almost feel bruised when I put on normal sneakers. I am a little disappointed since I have been wanting a pair of these since I was a kid (now 35). ... read more
I bought a pair of the same size to replace my old pair that were the most comfortable I've owned. There were several changes in strap design I noted. The embossing and the type of fabric. When I put them on the straps cut into the tops of my toes so they were unwearable. Incredibly disappointed. ... read more
I bought these to replace a pair with the "clear" nubs that start to break and fall off after about a year. I hope these black nubs will be a little more durable. I love to wear these unique slides because of the massage feature of the "nubs". Please continue to make these forever. These are great after a work out or even for everyday around the house. ... read more
I notice some people find these painful, which was my experience when first putting them on. However when you break them in (& the nubs soften) they become the most comfortable things you own & leave your feet feeling really nice. I wear these to the beach or take them swimming as they can handle all the sea and hot sand you throw at them without becoming nasty. ... read more
I read the reviews before I bought these as,a present for my husband. Duly went for a size bigger but actually should have gone 2 sizes bigger. There is no exchange policy so you need to return them and then go online and pre-order. Cheekily have to pay postage for the 2nd time as well! ... read more
I ordered these looking for a comfortable and easy-going shoe. I'm a true size 6, ordered them in 6, and they appear to be a half-size too big. Of course there's not half size options. Also, the strap is sharp and I know with reoccurring wear and use that I will get blisters. Returning these, unfortunately. ... read more
I just bought these sandals and they are too wide and don't look like the picture. The inside of the strap is black but in the picture it's gray. The reason I wanted these sandals was because my sister has a pair which are from a while ago then I got the shoes in the mail and was disappointed to see that they changed the sandals and they now are made from a cheap material and are slightly uncomfortable. ... read more
I love these slides and have had multiple pair. When my last pair wore out, I order a new pair, like always. But you changed them! They used to have a nice soft inner lining portion of the upper strap. Now it's rigid and feels cheap. I'm sure there's a reason for the change, but it's not a good change. Please bring the old version back! ... read more
Comfortable footwear and do not slip however i feel that the sizing of the shoe (although sometimes slightly off) was completely wrong, I even went 1/2 a size up to accomodate a wider fit yet still come up what seems to be over a size to small ... read more
These shoes are exactly what I hoped they would be. Comfortable slip ons for around the house and running errands. I wear them more then actual shoes because walking and standing in these is like getting a foot massage!! I wish I could wear them to work! ... read more

crazy cheap, its just a crime it trades so low and is a sure fire winner once things return to "normal".I think the new normal may not include $200 frozen concoction makers or paying top dollar for expensive bags to shrink wrap old food on an expensive machine...expecially when there is a new zip loc model with a hand pump that costs like nothing. Notice the plunge in coonsumer solutions margins as they try to move that crap...it gets worse.

Ideal Bookshelf 102: Cooking
Select your print and framing options:
Artist Statement
I paint people's ideal bookshelves: your favorite books, books that changed your life, books that made you who you are. Picking your ideal books is not an easy task (try it!), and the results are always enlightening. I think of this project as an intimate form of portraiture; a way to illustrate who the subject is on the inside instead of out. I love that a book is something created very personally and then mass-produced in order to affect many other people very personally. I paint them to turn them back into something very personal and intimate. In the age of the Kindle, it's very satisfying. This set is actually a "Super-Ideal" bookshelf, in a sense. It contains all the cookbooks most often included in people's sets of favorites, plus a few of my personal favorites I couldn't leave out.

On the weekends things get quiet around 10pm, if your just getting a hotel to test out the area, you may want to get a cheaper one further away from the ferry and just walk around or grab a cab. There is a great seafood restaurant right next to the hotel, and some good bars very close by. Also parking is very cheap.

We really enjoyed the hotel, lively location, satisfying breakfast, clean room and small but bright pool. I do wish there were a hottub at the pool!!!Parking, although conveniently located below hotel, requires a $7 per night fee. When we returned late one evening there were no parkable spots left in the hotel's section so we had to park in the adjacent (empty at the time) lot reserved for a restaurant. Next morning we had a polite "reminder" on our windshield (from the restaurant)that we were not legally parked and warned of a possible ticket in the future. ...

Residential areas need protection
Published: Sunday, March 2, 2003 at 2:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 2, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Developer Arthur Cleveland says he "wishes to work for the whole community ... to develop this property responsibly."
If this is true, he should consider his adult responsibility to children (especially middle-schoolers) in this area as he considers "neighborhood stores" and their parking lots (suitable for bikes, scooters and skateboards).
Nearby residences and subdivisions aren't retirement communities. Children here will walk, run, bike and whatever else along and across N.C. 191 (lacking sidewalks never deters youngsters) to the nearest candy, snack, soda or magazine center, often without identification should there be an accident.
When considering rezoning parcels from residential to commercial (or developing existing commercial zones along environmentally beautiful residential corridors), please calculate the consequences on existing homeowners and schools. These homes and sites were chosen and developed by many hundreds of people searching for and finally selecting with great care their special location. They (and others watching the resolution of this issue) will impact the economy of our county by determining if they have faith in the county commissioners to protect their families and their investments as they select sites, consider home improvements, raise their families and plan their futures.
Please develop property responsibly.
Ron and Nancy Marshall

Hi there,
One thing I'd like to do is set up a WordPress network, such that any guest stopping by could register and then have an account created for them, which they could start using immediately.
Is this currently possible with Multisite?
If not, does anyone have any recommendations about how to accomplish this? I'm an experienced developer, but relatively novice when it comes to WordPress.

Campaign aims to protect kids on buses
Published: Saturday, February 5, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 5, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
N.C. Highway Patrol troopers will be riding with children on school buses next week as part of a statewide effort to cut down on drivers passing stopped school buses.
Operation Stop Arm, an aggressive enforcement campaign, will run Monday through Friday in all North Carolina counties. Across the state, troopers also will be following the buses, driving marked and unmarked patrol cars and motorcycles.
Bus drivers typically report motorists who pass stopped school buses, said Highway Patrol Sgt. J.H. Wingo. Although the problem is not growing in Henderson County, the area has "a number of violations," he said.
"We don't have a large number of accidents with people passing a stopped school bus, but you can just imagine if you had one what it would be," he said.
Motorists usually pass stopped school buses because they don't know the law, Wingo said. For example, he said, on a four-lane highway without a median, drivers in all lanes of traffic must stop for a school bus. If the highway has a median or turning lane, only drivers traveling in the same direction as the bus must stop.
Gov. Mike Easley has proclaimed the week of Feb. 7 through Feb. 11 as Watch out for the Child week in North Carolina. Operation Stop Arm will run in conjunction with Watch out for the Child week. It is the first school bus campaign in the history of the Highway Patrol to be conducted simultaneously in all counties.

DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) is an XML-based architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering information. Publishers are starting to take DITA seriously. And if they aren't, they should be. This panel session will introduce DITA for publishers, the basic publishing-specific DITA components that are completely generic, and how DITA can really be the tool-set that launches publishers into the XML world.
In this free webinar DITA guru and contributor to the DITA specification, Eliot Kimber, senior solutions architect at Really Strategies, will present DITA for Publishers and provide details about his new community-based, open-source project: DITA For Publishers (dita4publishers.sourceforge.net).
