The West Virginia Oil Marketers & Grocers Association (OMEGA), an organization representing convenience stores, independent grocers and petroleum marketers across West Virginia, in conjunction with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, raised $168,507 to help grant the wishes of children diagnosed with life-threatening conditions during the month of August, association representatives recently announced.
Additionally, the organization has raised over $259,000 in 2012 for organizations that help West Virginia children, and over $1.5 million since 2003 for charities that improve the health, safety and wellbeing of West Virginia children.
Jan Vineyard, president of OMEGA, said, "Our members, as well as the West Virginia public, truly get behind these efforts to help our children. The results of our August Make-A-Wish Foundation campaign and our April Children's Home Society effort prove this out. This is all about making a difference in a child's life and we are very appreciative of the public who graciously supported this effort."

Vineyard said that all the funds raised through the Make-A-Wish Foundation campaign will go to the southern and northern West Virginia Chapters of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and will be used solely to grant children's wishes.
Wish stars were sold for $1 at nearly 600 OMEGA-member convenience and grocery stores across the state from Aug. 1 Aug. 30. Little General Convenience Stores sold the highest number of wish stars and single-handedly raised more than $23,000.
In addition, a golf outing was held at Stonewall Resort on Sept. 26 where many corporate sponsors, such as Little General Stores, Inc., ExxonMobil Fuels Marketing, Marathon Petroleum Company, Maxum Petroleum Company/One Stop, Sledd Company, Prima/7-Eleven, Par Mar Stores and others, donated tens of thousands of dollars to the cause.
Marisa Pedro, regional manager for Make-A-Wish Southern West Virginia, said, "Make-A-Wish opens up a world of possibilities for children with life-threatening medical conditions and asks them to dream the unimaginable. We then work to make the impossible come true - not just a nice experience for a day, two days or a week, but a life-changing experience that improves the quality of life for the child and his or her family.With OMEGA's help, many more children in our region will have this opportunity. We are very thankful for their participation."

PU To P.E. Production Information
Production Notes:
In the retro-1980 future where the series takes place, robots have become commonplace. Mechanical butlers, electronic plumbers and robo-bartenders are part of everyday life, but Robot Jones is a different kind of machine altogether. He is an experimental prototype designed to interact with humans on a personal level. Though programmed with basic emotions, Robot Jones doesn't quite have a handle on dealing with them and thus, tends to be more overly dramatic and socially awkward than other teenagers.

February Construction Unchanged from Prior Month
NEW YORK – March 20, 2014 At a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $486.7 billion, new construction starts in February were essentially the same as January's amount, according to McGraw Hill Construction, a division of McGraw Hill Financial. After the strong finish to last year, the construction start statistics have shown lackluster activity during the first two months of 2014. More

AUSTIN -- As a mother of two growing boys, Becky Peterson buys a lot of milk.
"At least a gallon and a half of regular milk and then two half gallons of chocolate milk a week," she said.
However, Peterson worries the FDA may change what's in it.
The International Dairy Foods Association and the National Milk Producers Federation are petitioning the FDA to allow artificial sweeteners in milk -- namely chocolate milk and other flavored milks -- which are currently sweetened with sugar, corn syrup or molasses.
Peggy Armstrong with the IDFA said the mission is two-fold:
- Help fight obesity by removing some sugar
- Get people, particularly kids, to drink more milk.
The idea is to replace sugar entirely or add artificial sweeteners along with sugar to make the flavored milks healthier.
"The standards of milk had not been updated for a couple of decades," said Peggy Armstrong is the Vice President of Communications for the IDFA. "This petition was filed with the National Milk Producers Federation, which represents dairy farmers and they are very much in support of this petition too."
Part of the change will also make it tougher to know what you're buying. Producers will no longer be required to label products on the front 'low calorie,' 'reduced sugar' or 'low fat'. The only way you'll know artificial sweeteners are added is if you specifically look for them in the ingredient list on the back.
Look at the label change here.
"People don't read labels like they're supposed to. You know people are busy. It is milk. They grab it, they think it's wholesome. It's dairy. It's what you're supposed to have," said Peterson.
The dairy organizations argue the labeling change is needed because kids won't choose milk with 'low fat' labels. The Defenders asked if they have studies to prove that.
"We don't," said Armstrong. "When we filed the petition, we did mention that, but that's because that's what we were hearing from some of our member companies. It was more anecdotal information."
Dairy Farmer weighs in
In McGregor, third generation dairyman Craig Miller prides himself on keeping milk pure. A father himself, Miller is not in favor of adding artificial sweeteners to milk.
"I think it's a lot like the cigarette companies selling nicotine to children," said Miller.
The 180 cows at his Mill-King Market & Creamery graze in fields all day everyday. They get milked twice a day, and then that milk is processed right there on site.
"We add nothing -- no additives, no hormones, no GMO's. It is as it comes," said Miller.
The dairy organizations argue there's room for everyone. Consumers will still have a choice. Organic milk will not contain artificial sweeteners, and dairies like Mill King Market Creamery can still sell their milk the same way.
The IDFA and the NMPF said the only artificial sweeteners that will be added are the ones the FDA deems safe:
- Acesulfame potassium (Sunett)
- Aspartame (NutraSweet or Equal)
- Sucralose (Splenda)
- D-Tagatose (Sugaree)
- Saccharin (Sweet 'N Low)
Conflicting information on safety from government
However, a 2007 USDA report advised against allowing artificial sweeteners in foods sold in elementary school vending machines citing specific concerns "about long-term use and low-level exposure effects on the health and development of children."
In 2007, the National Standards for Foods in Schools included language that said no beverages could contain artificial sweeteners.
The latest 2012 standards make no mention of artificial sweeteners.
"It's just one more way for them to sneak things in," said Deirdra Earls, a registered dietitian. "Artificial sweeteners, like aspartame, are known neurotoxins, and so things they've been long associated with are headaches, migraines, seizures."
And instead of fighting obesity, Earls said artificially sweetened products may do just the opposite.
"The idea is that it actually stimulates hunger instead of repressing appetite," she said.
17 other dairy products involved in change
Milk isn't the only dairy product targeted. The petition will also change the definition of 17 other dairy products -- like half and half, sour cream, even yogurt -- many foods parents, like Becky, feed their children.
"I don't think that's good," Becky said.
Weigh in on petition
The FDA is taking public comments through Tuesday, May 21. If you're interested in weighing in, you can do so here online or call the FDA at (240) 402-2371.
You can read the petition here.
Regardless of the outcome of this petition, organic milk and milk from the Mill-King Market & Creamery will not add these artificial sweeteners. (The Mill-King Market & Creamery does sell its dairy products at several Austin area farmers markets: SFC Sunset Valley Farmer Market, SFC Downtown Farmer Market, and Cedar Park Farm to Market. On Sundays we are at Lone Star Farmers Market in Bee Cave, HOPE farmer Market, and Mueller Farm to Market.)
Ice Cream recently got permission to add artificial sweeteners
The FDA recently amended the ice cream standard to include any "safe and suitable sweetener." However, the agency also required that non-nutritive sweeteners used in the products be declared as part of the name of the ice cream i.e. "reduced fat ice cream sweetened with aspartame") for a period of three years to make consumer aware that these non-nutritive sweeteners have been added.
Ways to avoid artificially sweetened foods
The Environmental Working Group has these suggestions for people who want to avoid artificially sweetened foods and/or dairy products:
1. Read the label. Always read ingredient labels and avoid products that have too many chemicals you've never heard of, or a really, really long list. Go simple when you can.
2. Go organic. Organic milk is not produced with pesticides or added hormones. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame are not allowed.
3. Plain is best. Skip the flavored milk, if possible, or allow it only as a special treat. Some flavored milks can contain as much sugar as half a dozen cookies.
4. Go for plain or unsweetened yogurts and cottage cheeses. Skip flavored, "light" and "lite" yogurts. They are often loaded with sugar, artificial sweeteners and additives. Instead, add fresh fruit to your plain yogurt or cottage cheese.
5. Lactose intolerant? Dairy isn't the only good source of calcium - try calcium-rich foods such as dark leafy greens, broccoli, beans or tofu. Unsweetened, fortified organic soymilk, coconut, almond, hemp and flax milk can also be good choices. Talk to your doctor about trying lactase enzymes. Be sure to read labels to make sure you're getting good nutrition for your family. And, stay away from products with added sugars.

Zendaya has a lot going on. Besides her show "Shake It Up" on the Disney Channel, she's got a new book and CD out and she'll also be performing at this weekend's 20th Annual Dream Halloween Event. She talked about those projects and stressed how important Saturday's event is to her.
"It's such a great cause like the fact that it's for something that affects children which is something that is very close to my heart...it's a Halloween bash...and it's for "Keep a Child Alive" and they've done so much work...they raise money for kids that suffer from HIV and AIDS."
Maria brought up all of the projects she has going on and asked how she makes time for events like this. Zendaya said for her, it's a no brainer.
"I'm a young person and I want my younger fans to see positive things..i want them to kinda grow up seeing someone doing, you know, having their career and doing all the things they love but also using some of their power for good stuff."
So who does Zendaya have to thank for having her priorities in order?
"I have good parents, that's what it is."
Fun Facts About Zendaya (Source: Wikipedia)

I went to Wolferton a few days ago. I'm sorta running out of things to picture when we go on the same walk most of the time. Maybe we'll go to the ditch again soon. Or the hiker's trail. But anyway, I did notice quite a beautiful landscape, and certainly a potential photograph. The sun shone through a bare birch tree (Or I assume it was a birch), and the cloud was looming above it, yet the cloud was much clearer and more beautiful in the photo. Here it is:

There were no attendants in sight, I just left my ticket I had printed out in my dashboard and that seemed to work.
Lot had a lot of open spaces. It was a little further from the Bayou Music Center than advertised.
It was easy, and had no problems thank you.
This open surface lot is perfect for vehicles ranging in size from compact car to cargo van. Fully secured with a chain-link fence.
This location is a commercial parking lot.

This large open surface lot is located just east over the Gulf Freeway on W. Dallas St. The entrance to location is directly across the street from the parking garage for the Downtown Club at The Met.

Gabe York will now have a MUCH bigger role on this team. He's always wanted the minutes and thinks he's NBA good, so now is his chance to prove it.
Without Ashley, think about it... minus Nick who else can really create their own shot and actually hit a mid-range jumper or three pointer? No one. Our defense with TJ, NJ, RHJ, AG and Zeus is still elite, but our offense will need a spark. York has to be that guy.
Now is your time to shine, York.

Intel, IBM and Mr. Market's whims
The blasé reaction to reports from 2 tech leaders proves that sometimes the market likes what it doesn't see and ignores what it can't miss.
Understanding markets is a constant battle between what you think should happen and what you think will. Not only are they quite often not the same, they can switch places out from under you, and the more you lose sight of the distinction, the more likely you are to lose money.
As a result, in order to be "right" (whatever that means), it is not enough to analyze a company correctly. You must also be correct in your analysis of how the market may react to what you find.
For example, you may spot what you deem to be a sign of positive growth tucked away in a company's financial statements, and you may conclude that the stock is undervalued. The market may view the exact same information in a negative light and punish the stock price accordingly.
Thus, you can be right about the company's prospects, but if you are wrong about how (or when) the market will respond, it may do you no good.
I bring this up as third-quarter "earnings season" is upon us, as it provides ample opportunity to see this phenomenon in real time. This week, for example, brought results from two stalwarts of the Dow ($INDU), IBM (IBM) and Intel (INTC).
Make the market shrug
IBM actually lost at beat-the-number Tuesday night, and its stock was hit for about 5% on Wednesday. Big Blue has a fairly long track record of announcing corporate earnings that don't quite "smell" right, yet the stock price is rarely affected. So even if you got the financial analysis "right" and predicted the miss, you still could easily have gotten the market's reaction wrong.
Interestingly enough, this quarter was just as smelly as usual. But this time the market cared, seemingly because the company admitted that its businesses were worse at the end of the quarter (particularly in North America), which, of course, implies that they might be a little more worse in at least part of the fourth quarter. That is about the only explanation I could come up with, because all of the squishy comparables and light revenues, while beating the number and talking about fat gross margins, were literally business as usual.
Intel also released earnings on Tuesday, and did a little better this quarter (than it had preannounced it would). But it would appear that business is going to be under pressure next quarter, as the inventory build that took place in the third quarter comes home to roost. Thus, Intel, was about 2% weaker on Wednesday.
I had hoped to get a better read on the market's mood with how Intel was treated, but the situation is just a little too murky to draw any conclusions.
Obviously, the early trading Wednesday showed that, while IBM's and Intel's stock prices declined, the market overall could not have cared less that IBM and Intel were lower, although a few hardware makers of various stripes were under a little pressure. (These are other tricky things to predict: when "company specific" results will affect related or similar companies, and when they will boost or dampen the market's animal spirits generically.)
But the Dow was essentially flat on Wednesday while its two big tech leaders were in the red, so it didn't look to me like there was a whole lot of consternation.
Latest euro-panic is over
One area where I did see a tiny bit of light being shed was in Europe, where Spain's debt market was on a tear to the upside early this week, with yields falling at one point to about 5.40%. That actually dragged Portuguese and Italian debt along as well.
The bonds of the PIIGS nations -- Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain -- generically have rallied substantially lately, while the other, somewhat stronger credits have declined, with the bond markets in Europe giving a strong indication that panicked trading driven by fear of some "deflationary accident" is at an end.
The proximate cause for all of that celebratory action appeared to be expectations that a "precautionary" bond-buying program to aid Spain would come out of the European Union summit, as had been rumored. The summit ended Friday without such a deal, though hope seems to remain that the European Central Bank will still find a way to implement a similar operation.
Obviously, people can change their minds, and fear can take over again, which could occur before CB President Mario Draghi actually does become Ben Bernanke. But for now, it looks as though expectations are that Mario's money printing is going to win the battle.
Double trouble?
Lastly, this week saw an interesting wrinkle in the currency and bond markets. On Wednesday, the dollar was weaker and is now back to the anemic (i.e., before-"deflation accident" fear trade) levels of last spring, and the bond market was also weaker. In particular, the U.S. 10-year bond traded to a yield of about 1.78%.
What you now see in the Treasury market is a small pattern of higher highs and lower lows (looking at yields from an inverted standpoint), potentially indicating that the path of least resistance for yields is up (and therefore down for bond prices).
I don't want to make too much of this, because these are very early days, but the outcome I had recently feared, of the 10-year trading below 1.60% (and breaking the pattern I just described), did not occur, and we have seen a modestly higher high. If the 10-year managed to trade over 1.87%, the case will become even stronger. If we get into a period with both a lower dollar and Treasury market, that would potentially be a very early indication of a funding crisis.
Taking a step back, I discussed in August, Draghi's idea to concoct what is now called the outright monetary transactions plan could mean the deflationary fear trade might be ending for good. If that is the case, one of the things that ought to occur is less demand for dollars and Treasurys, and the ramifications are going to be quite large, not the least of which will be even more downward pressure on Treasurys, and the dollar as well.
If we get into a period of rising rates and a declining dollar, indicating that the Fed has lost control, that won't be bullish for equities either. But we must not get too far ahead of ourselves. Thus, I don't want to make too much out of squiggles that you basically need a magnifying glass to see, yet I do want to be alert to a trend change and the problems that could result.
King World News
In my latest interview with Eric King we discussed the situation in Europe, the paralysis of politicians, and some of the inner workings of the metals market. Interested readers can listen to it here.
At the time of publication, Bill Fleckenstein did not own or control shares of any company mentioned in this column.
When are you people going to realize what money is for? It is to conduct your daily transaction such as food, clothing, & shelter.
No intelligent person holds their wealth in dollars. The dollars you earn should be used to purchase tangible and hard assets such as land, RE, stocks, bonds, Gold, Silver, and Chalupas!
As far as Bill's article is concerned, he must have been hard up for something to write. Trying to predict short or long-term fluctuations in the market or finding a reason for them is a waste of time. About all that can be said is we are in a weak economy without any truly clear direction; although, the pundits will angerly disagree with this view.
The most important thing for those who want to build wealth, is to devise a game plan. Afterwards, it would pay to study market & investor psychology always being aware that the probabilities are high you'll be wrong.
My view is a Romney victor would be a great positive for the market. An Obama would mean trouble.
Go Mitt go, we only have 17 days until you'll be the new prez!
Reply to jrlphx's statement,
When you buy gold, silver, etc., get "physical". Buying paper is only contributing to the pockets of crooks like JP Morgan (Blythe Murphy) who have the corner on the "paper commodities" market. They also inherited a huge silver short position from their shady take-over of Bear Stearns. Many accusations of illegal silver suppression are being thrown at them, including current investigations by the CFTC (run by a former Goldman Sachs exec, so don't get your hope up). Bottom line, you will lose in a paper battle, but in the long run will win with physical, because ultimately the emperor has no clothes.
You are asking one of the biggest gold bugs (Bill Fleck) why not buy gold? I'm sure he would agree. He has been touting gold for as long as I've been reading him on MSN. This doesn't imply it is a bad strategy, but asking Bill about gold is like asking Wile E Coyote "why not have Roadrunner for dinner?"
This is crap claiming one party or the other is responsible for the direction of the market.
There is clear evidence that the polices put in place in one adminsitration have resulted in either positive or negative results in another.
Adminsitrations are usually kicked out for the condtions that existed during their terms. Oddly enough the policies that created a favorable market environment for the incoming admistration were created by the out going!
Further crap is to place any future bets on past data or events. This is why you characters are poor. You are always trying to find simple explanations to guide your market bets (yes they are bets).
And even more crap is to clearly distinguish Republicans from Democrats. They are all pretty much cut from the same cloth except for some fundamental beliefs they claim but seldom practice.
Bottom line you are all idiots!
Go Mitt go - save us from these morons!
Your view is pretty blind. Markets are up through Obama's 4 years so far. They were dismal during Dubya's prior 8. No one but anally-retentive Republicans actually sees competence in Romney.

thanks man, il put urs in my aswell bud :}
wow what a great flow of improvement. I dig your characters a lot.
This is dope ^
Yeah! This is good. Thumbs up. Like your concepts. The clothing is belivable. Keep this up, I'll be back.
lovely work, I can read a backstory into nearly every character you've put up, there are the general anatomy issues every body gets with size of extremities and length of torso, but they will iron out with time (I hope so for my own sake).
Brilliant job on the beast riders, real sense of motion and the stance of each chharacter gives off their demeanor perfectly.
cool stuff, there are some anatomy issues but nothing too major....do a lot of figure drawings from life too and use reference helps too
thnx fir stopping by in my sb bro. Really like the last one - very imaginative, real cool. Just be careful for those heavy lines arounf things - if the line is in the light, so to speak, then it should be lighter. Lines in the darks should be heavier. Try it - it helps establish alot of things.
Keep updating - keep drawing.
- d.
Majorly intresting sketches around here. I see a lot that would make great paintings. One crit, the last shetch of the shaman, he looks more frightened of his people rather than the respected leader.
I can't believe you did those World War drawings at the age of 12! You should see my drawings from that age :P You've inspired me, I will probably draw more pictures that have a story on their background instead of just random sketches. The way you use those color pencils is great too.
I have one tip for you, though - try different line weights while you draw instead of just using the same line thickness all the way. Check Robolus' sketch thread, you'll see some badass line-usage there.
Yeah that's mainly it, just keep doing what you have done so far and don't give up, with that talent you really could be someone in my opinion. -d
HEy man!! wow!! (I say wow to evrybody cus yall so good!) THIS STUFF LOOKS AS REAL AS MY TV!!! http://i2.tinypic.com/sv5szp.jpg THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST!!
Phew, lots of replies :D
ArcoNL - Thnx i will :}
Goog - hehe thanks man, and about the proportion thingy, yes it was my intention to put the head on the captain a bit higher, to get it more characteristic.
Dile - Thnx for rating my thread :P And linked my sig :} appreciate ur inputs as allways :teeth:
Sabe2003 - Thanks :) nice that u like my characters
Pencilator - Hey thnx Mr.Hugs :P
Young paddy1 - Glad that u like em :teeth:
JoshK - I hate lifedrawings :p but ill try to fit someone in to my schedual ;)
Demeted - Thanks for the tips m8 :D really appreciate it
Artifitial Green - love to paint em some day when i get my hands on my own ps :) thanx for the input
Doyle - Thanks for the compliments :}
Rolo - Thanks bud, appreciate it :)
Sorry for not doing any updates, dont have access to a scanner atm, and my camera is just screwing up my pics :S please hold on to ur hats a little longer :)
My my, regardless of the precocious age, you are a force of nature.
Really nice progression, nice variety and astounding maturity in the work.
Keep it up!
You have really amazing concepts, ideas are just as important as drawing skills. I love the stories that you develop around your sketches, it really makes them that much richer. Love your studies, your enviornments and multiple characters in one scene are great, you and Dile both are going places if you keep it up. I'm really curious about project exodus, looks awesome, and great job with the concept drawings. Will definitely be stopping in here, thats for sure.
you've got a great imagaination and tallent extruding from every pore in your damn body, don't slow down untill your hands fall off and even then hold the pencil in your mouth and keep going.
Your anatomy studies are amazing and I really like the world your creating. Keep it up!
Wow your stuff progressed greatly from the beginning to here. Those aqua guys are extremely creative and the originality is crazy - great idea. Your sharks look really accurate too :D
Can't wait to see some more man!
Well its about darn time for an update, and here it is...
For those who have wondered what that huge thing in my sig is thats taking all the room, this is Project Exodus, if u wanna know more ask my friend Dile or just click the link in my sig :yayca:
Well its about mutated stuff mostly so here we go, starting up with a mutated russian bear:
PS: im finaly at my dads house where there is photoshop so i did some fixing on the contrast in the curve edit option, hope u like it :teeth:
Man i gotta say that this stuff is so awesome, you draw so well im jealous. keep up the expdus stuff as well man youre brilliant
Here´s a dead mans land´ merchant. Trading goods & selling difrent artifacts deep inside the "dark terretories" where the sky is still packed with ashes and space materia giving little room for the sun to breach through.
Wow man! thats an awsome coloring, now I know what standard project
exodus should have, I will put alot more time into my stuff!
evildisco - Thanks man! First time someone said im mature :D dont get that alot :P
Darktwin - Ur the man darktwin, love ur inputs their so helpfull thanks allot for stopping by dude, appreciate it :teeth:
invinciblewombat - Hehehe Thanks man :}
afgal - Nice that u like it :)
Blitz - Thanks dude, btw, u should update ur sb soon, im hungry for some more sketches of urs :P
blanquish - Wow, perhaps i should start a fanclub :P
Dile - Dont sweat it man, keep to ur style :}
Great, as usual, WolfBane. I can't believe how good you are at your age.
I think you should start painting, and see how you can do with that. (at least digital)
That'd be so cool.
Well, take care!
- Zacharias
You teach me humility, young dude. Your ideas, your concepts, they are all so well elaborated... You really scare me and make me sad if I think what would've happened if I started at such an age.
You're really good. I stop to draw at 13 and now, I must restart everything at 18, so please don't stop !
BTW... are they any girls in your world ? I didn't see any =p
Drawing at what you're good is fun, but sometimes you must try new things. Try to find a friend with whom you can draw with. My friend asked me to draw the fatiest man of the world and I've done it. We've done immortal emos (army of zombies!) and a lot of other things. It'll help you to do something else, to try new things.
Keep the good work,
I hope you won't steal me a job with your amazing talent. See ya
wow, ur right Soli. I havent thought of that b4 lol. When i do serious concept drawings i rarely do chicks bcuz i think dudes are easier to draw, and easier to make em look cool.
But now as i think about it, i perhaps should draw more chicks, more variation is good and when im doing a concept like i am, its rather good to point out the female too (so that my world doesnt seem like some village people fanatics or something :P)
Hva i HEITE?? Du er bare 14 år?? Shit... jeg må ta meg sammen, eller så kommer du til å ta hele det norske markedet før jeg vet ord av det! :D
The deadmans land merchant looks very good! I'll drop by later, hopefully with some crits... keep 'em coming, man! You're doing good!
btw: er du på storedyret.com også?
These are some pretty cool ideas. Plus You recent drawings have went up a lot of notches since your first post. Really good stuff keep it up!
Good sketches particularly i like the last one (check the position of rider leg).
Slick shit man! I wish I could remember who said this, but it went something like "{concept} Art is 90% imagination and 10% talent/rendering" You got the imagination part down flat man. Keep it, and your going places. Waiting for more.
-Edit- One crit though! On the piece with the kid cutting of the sharks dorsal fin, it looks like the kid is going to chop the shark in half. I also don't understand why there already apears to be a scar around the fin.
wow....i love the concepts. theyr really original and hav a lot of.......idk there dope man.
peace out.

Metro Transit is asking its MetroLink customers to plan ahead, arrive early and allow extra time for their commutes through the end of next week due to a power issue near Emerson Park MetroLink Station in East St. Louis.
A pole holding high voltage power lines was knocked down near the Emerson Park Station at approximately 11 p.m. Tuesday. Various equipment enclosures housing MetroLink signal and communication equipment sustained damage.
Power was restored Wednesday morning but signal equipment was either damaged or destroyed as a result of the power surge. New equipment must be delivered and installed.
MetroLink trains operating between the Fifth and Missouri and the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Center Stations will run at reduced speeds and must stop at some crossings where MetroLink intersects with vehicle traffic. As a result, MetroLink is running five to 10 minutes behind schedule due to the power problem.

I can't remember. I think I ended up using 40 or something.
Honestly, just map a couple of different beauty supply shops and clean them out of the colors you need every other week.

I only used #27 (50 packs) and #44 (20 packs) on mine. Some people use some other colors. I have some left over of each color.
I got the #27 from Texas Beauty Supply and the #44 from ikickshins.net
Hope that helps.

I got the majority of my hair from iKickShins like ChrisB. I got 40 #27, and then 6 or so of #44, #280, and a couple packs of #4 and #6.
I'm no where near finished latch hooking yet, so i don't know if i'll need to order more yet.

The easiest way I found to blow dry the hair is to take it off the card backing but do not take off the rubber bands. Sit on the floor with one foot on the end and hold the other end. Use the other hand with the blow dryer and go up and down side to side with the dryer close to the hair. I use it on a high heat and high fan setting. I never had any trouble with it melting or getting damaged. Test the heat of the dryer. Straighten the hair all the way to the end and flip it around to get the ends. Cut off the middle rubber band and cut the hair to size. Do not let it fly in the wind or it will get tangled. Hope this helps...

I bought mine from the same place. I got the 100% Kanekalon Jumbo Braid Hair from the bulk section
Donberto17, regarding the hair straightening. I used the same method as Wookiewannabe. It works well, just make sure you don't melt the hair (i haven't done that yet, but it can get really hot, pretty fast)
Hope that helps

from IKickShins is a matte, correct?

Not necessarily. I ordered through there and got shiny. I think you have to specifically request the matte.

CIRES Fellow John Cassano is using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to study interactions between the Antarctic atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice. Cassano's blog covers a trip in December 2013 and January 2014, when he and his colleagues camped in a remote location on the Ross Ice Shelf to deploy UAVs to better understand the Antarctic atmosphere.
This blog will describe our research and what it is like to live and work in this environment.
Scientists from around the United States and the United Kingdom, including CIRES' Ludovic Bariteau, are embarking on a five-week research cruise to study turbulent air-sea gas exchange during high winds and choppy seas. The High Wind Gas Exchange Experiment (HiWinGS) officially sets sail October 9th from Nuuk, Greenland. Follow the cruise's progress through Ludovic Bariteau's blog posts.
Since the deluge started, there has been a torrent of public interest in floods—everything from rainfall figures and records broken to the roles climate and natural cycles played in the disaster. Here, CIRES will regularly compile flood information and resources. This blog cannot be comprehensive, but will attempt to post scientifically accurate and germane information as it develops
CIRES research answers questions of importance to society, such as those associated with climate change, hazards, air quality, energy development and water resources. CIRES Education and Outreach helps scientists work directly with groups who use our science, such as educators and communities. This blog chronicles developments in geoscience education, new resources and opportunities, and scientists' work in communities.
An award from NSF's Office of Polar Programs is funding the Chu research group to deploy a Fe Boltzmann lidar to McMurdo, Antarctica to measure the middle and upper atmosphere for three years. Ultimately this project will complete an observational chain for Antarctica in combination with previous lidar measurements made at the South Pole and Rothera, Antarctica.
